• I got a Thermaltake Tower 100 Turquoise Edtion coming monday.  Have a few 7900xt and 7800 sitting, a itx asrock and a ryzen 5600x brand new still in the box sealed.   One 240 aio  so going to put a smaller budget well kinda budget, gpu will be 500i-600ish depends on which card fits.  Think I only need a few cables, psu and ddr.  Fans I have a ton of..  See what I come up with.  Keep y’all posted..

 Cough. Not done yet….

How is this gaming computer working out?  Are you able to run AAA level games with maximum settings?

[JohWill]

AAA GAMES IS NO PROBLEMS!  1080p is cake for it, 3440x1440p ultrawide in CS2 at 180hz is getting 220fps, lows around 170fps with 3-4ms frame time.   That’s pretty amazing.  I’m in my last week of recovery so I’ll be starting to do more chores.  LOL. IT FEELS LIKE ITS BEEN FOREVER!!   I think this machine is sold..  

and just for Ref:

4k gaming still at 60-80fps assassins creeds high Q not max.  Which is still better then a ps5.

Other things,  the cpu air cooler keeps the cpu temp down by 20c, wow what a difference from the single fan aio.  The chimney effect really works well in this case.  The Water cooler would sit at 86-90c and gets up to that temp in about 10mins then holds 90c. Completely different for the air cooler holds 60c full gaming.  The heat just saturates the small amount of water in that loop.

Ok so few days now after surgery. Still recovering slowly.  Anyways,  having an issue with the 5900x on the ASROCK Itx mb.  It will not hold the cpu overclock in the bios?  Ok so ryzen master get all that setup and the check box set to write to bios etc.  reboot and back to 3.7mhz max with zero boost.  Ok fine,  go into the bios and setup manual. Reboot and in windows no boost again.  Like what gives ASROCK?  Bios version is a beta 3.44 but that beta shouldn’t of affected the cpu settings..  So grabbed another am4 5600x I had. Tried ryzen master and it works?  I spend half a day trying different setting with the 5900x.  Zzz. So right now running a 5600x .  If anyone had issues with Asrock bios let me know.  Maybe there’s a setting or override boost that needs to be off that I’m missing?  But what’s odd the ryzen master will not write to bios with the 5900x.. who knows..

That is strange.  I wouldn't use a beta BIOS version though - can you flash it back to the last official release?

[JohWill]

That beta is for the newer 5000G gpu onboard chips. But I’ll try that anyway.  Super weird for sure.  That 5900x is brand new and works in a gigabyte aorus itx first try with ryzen master boosted to 5ghz.  So for sure it’s not the cpu.

Sorry been recovering somewhat but things have changed.  It just needed something to balance that color, so… This is what it’s looking like... 

 One more matching fan and it’s done..

It's looking good.  You should be gaming, assuming your health is up to it.
