On which motherboard platform? And which new CPUs? The 3960X and 3970X require a new chipset, so any motherboard for them will support them out of the box. Things on the desktop Ryzen 3xxx is a little less clear depending on which chipset you're try to drop them in. I'm not sure if the Ryzen...

Well, I'm definitely not buying one tomorrow, so...

Presumably we'll get the reviews of the 3960X & 3970X tomorrow on their release day. Who knows for sure though...

It's going to have treads?

I put the Pilot Alpine 4's on the S4 today. I skipped them last year and just used the Conti DWS's. I thought the DWS's were noticeably inferior from how I remembered the car driving on the PA4's. We'll see if the PA4's live up to what I remember from 2 winters ago.

What makes you think the Chinese aren't the ones who changed the forum? :ROFLMAO:

They don't even have the Zen 2 Threadrippers out the door yet and they're already talking Zen 3... Figures. :unsure:

Personally, I would have avoided that road while there was a fire instead of driving by it 1000 times.

Set the clock in the BIOS to close to the correct time and Windows will automatically adjust it syncing from NTP servers online. That will adjust the time in the BIOS too.

Why did you give the golden retriever your goniometer to play with?

The new RAZR looks kind of interesting from a bit of a nostalgic viewpoint. But $1500... :ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO:

Nope, we don't.

In FLAC format, yes I have 500GB of audios.

My plan is to build in the December to January time frame.

No, it doesn't play videos. It's smaller and not a phone. Mine is black not red, but that's the model.

Yes (supposedly). As a standalone it will convert RAW files as well.

The 3950X barely generates any more heat than the 3900X and both are well under Intel's offerings. You can air cool them if you want if you're using a top tier air cooler. If I go 3950X I will be air cooling it. The best air coolers outperform the AIO water coolers anyhow.

It works on cats too!

So I ordered a black Sony NW-A55 on eBay for $185 + 10% ($18.50) back in eBay Bucks from a seller in Hong Kong Tuesday night since Sony never saw fit to bring it to the US in the past year it's been out in Asia. It arrived via FedEx this morning. That's a pretty quick turnaround for free...

As expected AMD clobbers Intel on the power consumption under load. From: https://www.legitreviews.com/amd-ryzen-9-3950x-processor-review_215425/8 The Ryzen 9 3950X uses less power under load than an Intel Intel Core i9-9900KS or Intel Core i9-9900K while pretty much doubling their...

I would expect we'd see reviews by the 25th. I don't anticipate going to that level, but I will take a look at the benchmarks.

I will probably wait to see how the 24 core Zen2 Threadripper (3960X) performs in comparison before making up my mind.

Thanks for the heads up. It looks promising.

So as I mentioned in the Something Random thread I bought Luminar 4 from B&H to play around with. So far I'm pretty impressed with it. It is certainly easier to use than Photoshop in addition to have more dramatic effects. For example if you want to green up tree/foliage in PS you have to do...

It isn't correcting the lens distortion in the same way as the Sony RAW converter or the camera is. It looks like it's applying less correction. I haven't shot a picture of a grid to see how badly it's underdoing it. Well, now that this has grown probably, but I was just replying where the...

I never used any prior version. I'm starting from scratch. The auto distortion correction is turned off by default for RAW files which took me a while to find just poking around. All in all, I'm really impressed with it so far in the few minutes I've been playing. It seems sort of like...

And I was wrong. I got an e-mail with a download link and a product key for a 2.8MB installer that I presume downloads the actual software (which says it needs 2.37GB of drive space). When I get home I will install it on my desktop.

Whatever those are... :unsure:

Well, I don't have it quite yet. It's a download for Skylum Luminar 4, which isn't released until 11/18 (which I knew before buying, but isn't mentioned anywhere on the B&H listing for it). For whatever reason B&H offered it to me for $49 in the e-mail after a $40 off promo code. Regular...

I did their live chat thing this morning. After some back and forth and them investigating apparently there is/was a problem with the promo codes. They made me a quote for the item I wanted at the sale price and I called in complete the order.

B&H sends me an e-mail with some deals in it that require a promo code. Of course the promo code provided in the e-mail doesn't work. When entered in the shopping cart it pukes all over it and says the code is invalid. Nice... :mad:

Except it's dependent on the silicon itself, cooling, and other factors. I guess you'd be happier if they got rid of the "turbo"/boost frequencies and it ran slower, but at a defined speed.

That's not what it means. It means you're guaranteed at least 3.5gHz with all cores loaded. That doesn't mean it won't run faster than 3.5gHz with all cores loaded.

It is per MHz

Not at all directed at you. It's directed at the people who seem to be in an Intel induced reality distortion field. I was just piggybacking off your post.

It seems something like a 14C/28T Intel Core i9-9990XE (pulling 300W+) that trades blows in benchmark with AMD's 12C/24T Ryzen 9 3900X (pulling 142W) is more what they're after. But sure, complain about the 280W TDP of the 3960X & 3970X which will very likely lay waste to Intel CPUs like the...

Those wouldn't be my first recommendation to someone worried about power consumption or efficiency.

And again, they're more power efficient than Intel. They still use less power than the comparable Intel part and they get more done. But keep worrying about the "scary" TDP numbers while Intel sells you an inferior performing part that actually uses even more power.

We've switched from GoTo Meeting to Google Hangouts at work. GoTo worked better, but the latter is free AFAIK.

Well, they are more efficient than Intel. Their TDP ratings are also more honest. So a comparable HEDT Intel solution will use even more power under load and have worse performance. So you should be used to it.

Who cares? Your power company will sell you the extra power you "need". Additionally, I still don't know why so you're hung up on PCIe lanes that you seem to have no need for.

More announcements and details: https://www.anandtech.com/show/15062/amds-2019-fall-update November 25th is the release day for the 3950X, the 3960X, and 3970X.

The reordered Oakley lenses were available for pickup the day before I left on my trip. I picked them up that evening. They seen to be made correctly. The left eye is sharp this time. I've used them outside in the sun for a few fairly long stints on this trip so far. I'm pretty happy with them.

So I've been using the Rocketek hub/reader for the past few nights. I'm shooting way less video than I thought I might. The pace of this trip is to far to shoot sis and video at the same time, so I've been mostly stills. The Rocketek generally works, but there's a significant drawback. When you...

Bumping for you DB... This or one like it might fill your want list.

Farewell Fred. We barely knew you.

Only if we're very lucky.

There were slight differences. They're reordering the lenses based on the new numbers. It seems like their process has lots of chances for mistakes to be made. They take numbers from their fancy iPad app, write them down on a piece of paper, and then enter them into their computer in the back...

Except they only show up with window tint on the window. The glass is totally transparent with polarized glasses before that. And AFAIK, only the front windshield is laminated. The side windows are not.

So, I'm not very happy with the prescription Oakley sunglasses. I'm certain that at least one, if not both, of the lenses are not made correctly. I went back on Saturday night with my initial complaint after driving with them some and biking with them earlier in the day. Basically my...
