Was wondering how your X570 is doing and your nVME SSD in terms of temps: Here's mine: Hitting 80C for the PCH feels a bit hot...seems like it could use a repaste.

Is this machine aimed for a parent?

Looks like AMD did a huge update on their compiler which should help a lot on the software side optimizations for Zen2 + EPYC. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-AOCC-2.0-Released

Keep us updated on your ram experiences. I went with the E-Die set while yours is likely B-Die which to simplify is Rank 2 (2x4GB ) vs Rank 1 (1x8GB) densities. E-Dies have performance that closely matches B-Die but of course B-Die is best. Supposedly my ram might do 3600 at CL16 but time will tell, This guy showed some serious performance boosts (at 1080p cpu limited resolutions of course) with manual timings. BTW my CPU batch is 1930 (so week 30). Someone rumored that the newer batches are lower binned 3900x but I'm doubtful of that rumor. I've already put some of my system info in here for comparison purposes but I'll be following up once I get a chance. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c3RTF_ZPjep-Zfimgoca2Ef1gSjZM0rSHVWLkknbfUI/edit#gid=0 I had some hardware swapping I had to do between my laptop (nVME 960 Evo) and desktop (SATA 860 Evo + 840 Evo) and I'm waiting on a new AM4 bracket for my H105 + some Grizzly Kryonaut coming in Friday. I have some spare conductnaut but I'm going to avoid liquid metal for now on the desktop. My entire 2019 build is a simple update of parts from my 2014 machine: CPU (3900X) + Motherboard (Aorus Ultra) + RAM (Ballistix DDR4 3200 CL16) ~ $875 + Tax = $950.

Well, I have ceramic coat on my car so its basically reinforcing that as an alternative to waxing. What is Mk1 btw? I know my car is not the fastest around, but its among the fastest stock cars (0-60 in about 3.2s). Nothing compared to a Model S P100D with ludircous at 2.28s. Tuner cars can of course beat my car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_cars_by_acceleration#By_0–100_km/h_time_or_0–60_mph_(0–97_km/h)_(3.0_seconds_or_less) And then there's Roadster 2020

Now that Neon Genesis Evangelion (original tv series run) is on Netflix I've been watching that and quite enjoying the expanded character arc compared to what I saw on the Rebuild films. I feel the main character far more relatable in the anime run compared to the rebuild which might be the thought process difference between western and eastern audiences.

Regardless, I plan on buying it on blu-ray to support it. I haven't bought a film since Pacific Rim so.....yep.

I love that movie.....got me first interested in Brie Larson too as I preferred her voice at that band vs. the original metric artist.

I haven't been in this thread for ever so apologies if its been posted:

Hmmm...just saw this trailer...Metro and M1 garand has me piqued.

Why don't you just use meguirs detail and wash spray? $10 at walmart is what i use for my car weekly

It must be part of the CCX binning that was mentioned previously somewhere where the current chips have 1 good, and 1 okay CCX, while the later 3950X might have 2 good CCX controllers.

I've been hearing about HAMR since high school but it sounds like they're.....

Enjoying my VR so far BTW. Also caused me to take out my joystick for some good shoot'em ups. Mostly a time issue due to the variety of games and limited RL time I have. Games I've purchased: SuperHOT BeatSaber EVE Valkyrie (joystick use here) Contractors (purchased but not played yet) Also ordered an Xbox One controller for $32 but haven't been able to use it with VR games yet. Just racing games that I never get to use otherwise (NFS Most Wanted).
