    HMMM. Now I'm not sure the onboard graphic was worth the extra 90.00.

    This amazes me! How did it work? And why did you do that?

    Ryzen

    Correct. The old rig did everything I needed to do, until it was getting near 100% cpu use, while watching video, or Hulu. I also found RAM really helped, and I was stuck at 16 GB, unable to fill the other 2 slots to get it to 24. I've yet to find any programs that are adversely affected by...

    I'm wondering if the Zen 5 X3D's are going to be a large enough increase to replace a 7900X3D. I kind of doubt the increase would be noticeable with my setup...

    I bought the 7900X3D. The compare shows it's faster clock speed, single thread, then the7950X3D for about 200 dollars less. The office machine is a 5700G. Should be about 3-8 times faster then the Intel 920. Plus, I don't need a video card, even though I have one. Funny part is I did all this...

    Memory use. VM turned off. Most memory ever used for me.

    Ryzen

    The single thread tests on these 3 are within 3.0% of each other. Essentially no difference. The 7900X3D has a 4.4mhz low end, and 5.6 high end. Seems to me not a lot of difference between the 3 chips, and the value goes to the 7900X3D, since most of my stuff is probably going to work best with...

    Heat management: Water Cooling in an Apartment?

    Lava is really humbling. I don't know of anything that stops it, or even affects it, short of a nuclear bomb. The only good news is, at least on the Big Island, it doesn't move at high speed. The only thing that slows and finally stops it is water. But, it takes a LONG time. We have been lucky...

    SD zoo has three teen males, who are huge. Maybe 12k lbs? Female has her own area. Shes about 45, and she has large tusks for a female. We go there, ALOT, and coming out of a tunnel, and seeing her at under 25 feet was shocking. Plus, she's very well behaved and quiet. I really don't know what...

    dSLR thread

    As for the focusing: at the zoo you want to take the fence, or screen out of the picture. Autofocus on my Canon tends to put those items in focus, and the animal not. Hence manual focus to get rid of the foreground stuff. I'm too old to be an Adobe money slave.. :puke: Oddly, the stuff I want...

    Canon Eos Rebel. I take a LOT of animal pictures, mainly at San Diego Zoo, or Safari park 17-300 zoom. Using mainly manual focus. I tried to post a great pic of an elephant, at very close range, but it was too big. So mainly change photo sizes, clarity and sharpening, cleaning up bad focus.

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    I was referred by my nuerosurgeon, head of pretty much everything down here, to the person that tested for it. Thought it might be due to a pinched spinal column, but appears it isn't. Changed mice. Using a cold pack as a wrist rest when it hurts, or I'm numb. Had not thought of a different chair.

    My experience in warming was Honolulu, and the Hawaiian Islands, in particular, the Big Island. Things like volcanos create updrafts, warm thermal towers. The BI has two forms of warmth. The volcanic, and the sun beating down on lava rock. Pretty much never been hit by a hurricane. Hurricanes...

    Monitor speakers have a weird sound. It's like someone is tapping on a morse code key when I try and use the speakers on the monitor.

    You suggested another site for cpu evaluation. I went to that one, before I bought the 7900X3D. It indicated a single digit difference, like 2, between the 78900X3d, and the 97950X3D. As you said, the benchmarks for passmark, in this case, are a bit questionable.
