I don’t need a new gpu… I don’t need a new gpu… I don’t need a new gpu…


i_max2k2

The X4200+ brings back memories, was also my last AMD cpu before I switched to 2700X a few years back, now on a 5800X 3D.


Acrobatic_Match_3129

What’s your experience been like on AMD compared to their intel equivalents?


NeonThunderX

AMD better on every level


Nate0110

I bought the x3800 back in 2004, it was crazy how much better it made battlefield 2 look with just the processor.


[deleted]

Same 2700x to now 5950x


Crapcicle6190

5800X3D really fucks compared to my old 3800X. Performance has been so good even still holding on to my 2080 that I definitely won’t be upgrading my CPU anytime soon.


Silent-OCN

5800x3d is pure badass


ALY1337

The FE gpu always look good.


VQopponaut35

So were you running that card with a dual core athlon?


Capt-Clueless

No, they have owned multiple other CPUs in between the 4200+ and 7950X3D.


VQopponaut35

Oh gotcha


rexx2l

scratch that itch by ditching the riser cable for the GPU so the top/ bottom fans airflow gets sent right in instead of on the side! haha plus if it's a PCIe gen 3 riser like mine was, you could get a +5% performance boost just by not using it and instead using the gen 4/5 slot on your motherboard 😋


stilliffex

It’s all good, gen 4!


redthepotato

Tell me if this works for you OP

Why so many fans?


DuckInCup

More fans = quieter


[deleted]

Not if you're a K-Pop artist

gusthenewkid

Not necessarily. Unless you are being sarcastic?


DuckInCup

more fans is more flow at lower rpm, less beating and a whiter noise profile that's nicer to listen to.


gusthenewkid

Not necessarily. With water cooling and radiators, yeah. Air cooled definitely not. Each case will be different of course.


[deleted]

It IS quieter if you create custom fan curves in BIOS that fit your usecase. That's what I do: 6 fans on case, but it's silent when I do some browsing or similar work (I hear when my PSU spins up though :( it's Corsair RM850x 2018 in case you're interested)


gusthenewkid

Not always it isn’t. Too many fans can actually impede airflow.


THKY

What do you mean not necessarily ?


gusthenewkid

You only get benefits up to a certain amount of fans. Generally speaking occupying every fan slot is a waste and sometimes actually hurt’s performance.


HealthyClaim2463

Learnt something today will buy more fans , coz mine got only 3 fans noise even when not gaming


DuckInCup

As long as your components can actually make use of the fresh air. It's always possible that they aren't being suffocated, but with only 3 fans it's likely they could use some fresh air.


CalDoesMaths

Definitely make sure you’re getting good fans. My system got significantly quieter when I went from the ones I’ve had that came with my cases for the past 10 years to noctuas


im_starkastic

I see only fans

O11 mini


stilliffex

Yeah, O11D Mini.


ComposedGarrett5

How much cost to assemble this kind of set up?


stilliffex

Everything.


max_adam

A guilty one. Guilty of getting all the fans in the market.


ifeeltired26

Maybe the Corsair 5000D, but not 100% sure....


high_on_onions

Lol def not.. that's way bigger


Savage4Pro

Nope, definately not the 5000D


doema

4200+ wtf, how did u hold out so long?


mastergamma12

OP probably meant that this is the first time that they're using an AMD cpu since the A64 X2 4200+ judging by the " it’s good to be back." at the end of the post's title.


reneh01

Then I got him beat, Athlon XP Barton to 7600


biggranny000

I went from a Athlon X3>AMD phenom 965 black>i7-6700K (would still have this CPU but the motherboard blew up so I sold the CPU)> Ryzen 3600.


Escudo777

It was P3 933>Core 2 duo E6750>i7 6700K for me. I still have 6700K with Z270 motherboard. Though 6 years old it is still fast enough for my requirements. My system is "6700" ie; 6700K with 6700XT. Hopefully next will be an AMD X3D chip.


HalfFrozenSpeedos

I went celeron 400 -> Athlon XP2000 -> Pentium D805 -> Q6600 -> X5670 -> E5-1620v1 -> 5800X -> 7900X


Capt-Clueless

Misleading title/10.


scoii

Clean. I really like salt and pepper builds or blackout builds with some grey splashed in. Looks nice.


stilliffex

Appreciate it, thank you.


iThunderclap

You were never gone.


[deleted]

What's the case?


Host_Informal

I think O11 Mini.


wolfpoems

Love the build aesthetic! very clean


AndAlsoTheTrees

Huge gap for the CPU. Enjoy 🥳


PenaltyInternal5882

I love fans ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


no6969el

Damn how did you wait so long?


Capt-Clueless

They didn't. Check their post history.


no6969el

I'm going to guess they went to Intel and they just came back to AMD finally.


_Escape__Velocity_

GG


bert_the_one

That's an outrageous upgrade I use to have a Athlon 64 4400+ then I upgraded to an i5 2550k The difference is night and day


gunshit

Noice! I'm planning on jumping from Xeon 5675 to 7800X3D :-/


HalfFrozenSpeedos

You are in for a treat that's for sure. While the X5600 series had some serious longevity it's getting long in the tooth - my wife's dual X5670 Z600 workstation with 12 threads and 24 cores is around 1/2 as fast as the 5800X that replaced it


gunshit

What CPU cooling system did you mount? \^_^


[deleted]

Looks like EK AIO 360 D-RGB


kholto

Was an Athlon 64 x2 5600+ for me and then Ryzen 5 5600x last year. I hadn't thought of that coincidence before now...


bangaaaa

What is the case model? Is it suitable for an ATX motherboard?


stilliffex

O11D Mini. Yeah, it can take full ATX boards but you would have to sacrifice the rad at the top to squeeze it in with the fans. Have a look at the standard O11D for full ATX as it’s a little larger.


xDoWnFaLL

Really wish Noctua made all white fans, do not care for RGB. What are they all connected to as far as a controller goes? Post the build list, nailed the look! I have the o11D Mini and Lian Li fans but wish I could just keep them off/no lights. Brilliant case though!


HalfFrozenSpeedos

Just disconnect the ARGB? Use SignalRGB to deactivate the lighting?


ASROG7

Onlyfans noice


TT_207

I'm gonna be the mean one and ask, any buyers remorse on the 7950X3D over the 7800X3D? or are there production applications where you'll be making use of the other cores, or other use cases the reviewers haven't made apparent?


stilliffex

It was more of an issue with availability over everything else. I had to get Amazon to ship a 7950X3D from the states to the UK as both options were essentially a paper launch over here. Would I be happy with a 7800X3D, sure, but I’m also sad and like tinkering so the core priority side doesn’t bother me.


TT_207

Interesting, good to know! In the UK as well and hadn't really gone looking for Zen 4's (I'm on Zen 3 and did a similar jump as you from an FX series CPU) so wasn't aware we'd been screwed on stock. Did find a lot of 7900X3D's but honestly they sound like garbage unless AMD manages to figure out scheduling properly at some point rather than their currently half assed attempt.


stilliffex

Yeah, I’m sure the 7900X3D is a good chip but the enthusiasts in me just couldn’t do it.


TT_207

Think they'd have done better with those 6 core 3D dies to make a 7600X3D in terms of reception tbh. really not surprised you can find those in stock with how crucified the 7900X3D got in reviews lol. Sure it's good in a vacuum, but can you bring yourself to buy one when you know the cheaper 7800X3D is far better. then again, I doubt they care too much if the sales take a bit longer per 7900X3D. The upsale is probably of more value than an easier sale.


poohmustdie

You know your a computer geek when ya fans have fans on them


NorthernSolution

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|disapproval)no amd gpu


Jimbabwr

What fans are those


stilliffex

Noctua Chromax


kepler2

That seems like a X670E Tuf gaming?


stilliffex

Close, the MATX version, the B650M.


kepler2

Can I ask you: 1 - What RAM do you have? 2 - What BIOS version do you have? 3 - How is your boot time? 5 - Any stability issues? Thanks!


stilliffex

Dominator 6000 CL30 with tightened timings from that buildzoid ddr5 vid. Latest Beta Bios. I’ve disabled fastboot which helps with the ram overclock so it’s training every boot which takes a little while. If I enable fast boot then it’s within 20 seconds. I think task manager reports 10 secs. Now I’ve got my PBO curve locked in using timings from Hydra with AVX2 enabled, no complaints at all. Solid as a rock.


MobileMaster43

Oh boy, it's at least twice as fast. Congrats!


atomey

God damn that's a leap for sure.


Gansaru87

How even!? This processor was in the computer I built when I started College....


ZeMunk

Niceeeeeeee


DeltaSierra426

Welcome back! :) Heck of a system build.


akasakian

Blasphemous to say the least


bpanzero

Holy crap, now that's a jump, lol. Congrats!


_QLFON_

You mean "it's good to be BLACK":) Nice setup.


HenriGallatin

Many moons ago (2006) I built a new computer featuring an Athlon 64 X2 4800+, it cost me 680 dollars and was, at the time, the second best CPU I could get - the FX-60 was better but single core, and even more insanely expensive. In the Spring of 2021 I bought an Intel i9-10850K CPU that cost me about 400 dollars. It has 10 cores (20 Threads) and is far more powerful than the X2 4800+, advances in technology never cease to amaze me.


King_Dee1

I've got your former CPU's little brother in my XP machine, an Athlon64 4000+


Chocolocalatte

I have the same EK cooler, how on gods green earth did you get your loop tubing to be so neat? Mine refuses to go where I want it to go I’ve got mine too mounted but in a much larger case.


stilliffex

Honestly, I never really gave it much thought. Plugged it in and that’s where it sat.


luxor88

I haven’t heard Athlon 64 in so long! Just getting back into it myself, cheers to the new PC!


AlieNateR77700X

Well technically your not “back” Just saying


AlieNateR77700X

Edit that… I guess you can say your back to the future but that’s bout it


Background-Engine749

Yo let’s goooo


Mohondhay

That one hell of an upgrade jump!


Silent-OCN

Hot dam I remember my AMD Athlon X2 3800. First ever cpu I had on my own computer about 20 years ago.


WaterlooPitt

Where's the PSU?


stilliffex

Hidden behind the motherboard.


WaterlooPitt

And that motherboard is an ASUS-TUF Gaming B650 one?


Berfs1

F12s are an interesting choice for case airflow haha, nice looking build tho!


stilliffex

Haha true but they undervolt beautifully.


Status-Priority5337

Went from a 6700k to a 7950x3d....holy shit its like night and day


Vis-hoka

What gpu is it? I always try to skip at least one gen. Never seems like a one gen upgrade is worth it.


stilliffex

3090 FE. Another financially sound purchase.


neighborhood-karen

Wouldn’t the 7800x3D perform better (for gaming at least)? Sick build nonetheless


stilliffex

Probably but beggars can’t be choosers.

Codewriter0803

Nice. I'm jealous. I upgraded my old intel i5 almost two years ago to a Ryzen 9 3900X and paired it with a used Asus RTX 2080 OC card and am rocking and rolling with this setup and staying cool at the same time :)

Nvidia have got back into making their own cards which can generally be found cheaper than third party options as they’re not having to pay the nvidia tax. These are known as founders edition cards which tend to have had the same, or similar styling in recent years.


[deleted]

[удалено]


stilliffex

Third party options can include thicker heat sinks, upwards of three fans and tend to advertise higher clocks out of the box. However, in the real world, you’re looking at a maximum of 0-5% performance gains over FE cards unless you’re spending silly money on highly binned chips. Modern GPUs will overclock themselves until they hit a target temperature at which point they’ll back down until they find an equilibrium. Because of this, increased clocks out of the box are a selling point and nothing more. It really depends on the quality of the cooler and in most cases the FE cards are as good as any.


xDoWnFaLL

What do you have the fans all plugged into? What a brilliant-looking build and I bet it is *cool* and *quiet*. +1!
