Further evidence that I should go 12700K for the server.... My next case is definitely going to be a: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1566867-REG/lian_li_dk_05fx_black_aluminum_steel_desk.html or equivalent. I would love to run a couple of PC's and a bunch of hard drives all inside a...

Thank you for these new points -- I hadn't considered them before. Yes, my server doesn't really sit idle. In fact, because my power is cheap I will probably use at least some of the spare threads for Rosetta@home or XMR mining. It also hosts about 16 hard drives (some external, some on a Host...

Thank you all for the feedback. I think I will use the 5900x as my server and will use all of the new hardware I bought (Intel setup) + the b-die ram for my main gaming computer. I may sell off the 3080 for a 3090 or 3090 ti since prices are getting more reasonable, but for now it does great in...

I am in the process of upgrading my old server hardware. Currently, I have an Ivy Bridge E3-1230 v2 Xeon CPU which is functioning as a Plex server, Chia full node, XMR full node and does a bit of GPU mining as well. The CPU, motherboard and ram are about 10 years old and it really chugs when it...

And my old file server: E3-1230 V2. Similar to an Ivy Bridge i7-3770, I think.

Edit: to add a 2600X (below). One more 5900X. PBO on with memory at 3600Mhz. 2600X:

As a bit of an update to my run, I ran again and watched the core speeds and temp in Ryzen master. It really seemed to average out to 4.04Ghz on all six cores. I am on stock cooling and started the run with a hot processor that had been running Rosetta @Home. Temps stayed right around 75C...

So, I looked through the box the PSU came in and found that it does indeed include a second "PSU to CPU 4 + 4" cable that can plug in to any of the 8 pin blocks on the lower right side of the of the power supply image shown above. I am going to try to attempt to use this power supply with the...

I was just about to recommend the same thing. It is only a few dollars more and with better timings. Also, I am not sure your first choice is on the Asus QVL list for that board.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that I could spend a little less on the processor this go around and see what the 4000 series brings and/or watch black friday sales nearer to the end of 2020. I did have a 3700x in the build list for awhile though... You've really got me thinking on the...

I am in the process of replacing my old "server" that is running a Xeon 1230 v2, Nvidia 1070 and Nvidia 970. Over the years this machine has been used mostly as a file server (Plex), but has also been used for gaming, mining, media playback, etc. 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means...

I scored 559 on a stock I7 4700MQ (laptop). I watched it run and it bounced between 3.3 and 3.4Ghz during the test. Calling in 3350 Mhz, that gives a ppmhz of 0.1669.
