No idea why... maybe micro-spelling, like micro-code, fixes everything?

Yes, please! Now that I'm back and missing everything that isn't stickied... and most that is... but still...

Oh man... The day I track down my lost Anand login, they shut down the place. Thanks for all the overclocked DDR memories and X58 Forever bumperstickers!

It's true! IDC is Jim Keller! Around the time Keller is sucked into the 14++++++ nm void, IDC goes radio silent here. Jim shakes off the blue shackles and IDC posts again. A coincidence? I don't think so. Coincidence or not, great to hear from you, Jim IDC. We missed you. Not that you care.

Some kind of Finned Art project - maybe mashed up with the closet full of stock intel coolers. Battle of the Pushpins!

Or in more familiar terms... 14+, 14++, 14+++, 14++++, 14++++, 14++++++, 14+++++++ ;-)

Finally have my 3800X rig built. Stupid fast at stock. Turns out my X58 Forever slogan really was more exaggerated than initially claimed. ;-) Oh well... Hope to get all my weirdo audio/video/motion graphic software installed and tweaked in time for either a Zen 3 upgrade (Asrock permitting)...

Fractal Meshify C was the smallest, low cost ATX case I could find. Can be modded easily for excellent airflow.

No worries. You don't need a meter for my posts. If I type something on the internet, it's either sarcastic or stupid. Or both. ;-)

I was poking fun at their email message about the 3950X extinction event: "We regret to inform you that this item has unfortunately been discontinued. Please check back on our website for similar or possible replacement items. "

Oh well... the 3950X had a pretty good long run - about 6 weeks. In CPU time that's like forever.

FTFY :p

What is the system config? Do you plan to overclock? Large quiet coolers: Noctua D15/D15S Be!Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 Compact and quiet: Scythe Fuma 2

Looks great. Not saying the 3900X is overkill for a file server, but why take the chance? Swap it for my 3800X just in case. ;-)

Detroit may love you, but this forum is stunned. More than a little upset at your priorities. You could have spent $54k on your computer and less than $1k on the truck. Here's a perfectly serviceable '95 F-250 with a $200 starting bid. Sure it might breakdown a lot, but then you just stay home...
