So, I'm a fricking idiot. Thankfully, this means my computer isn't broken and I don't need to start looking into replacement parts.

So we can all laugh at my embarrassment, I plugged the DP cable into the port on the Mobo, and not on the GPU.

I don't know why I did it right the first time only to make that mistake so many times the past few days. I took the GPU out to try running off the integrated one to test that out, saw the DP ports on the side, and just laughed.

On the plus side, I've got cable management down to a fine art now.

The first build is always nerve wracking, I had something I didn't plug in right on my first build too. Glad you are up and running now.

AMD set to launch Ryzen before March 3rd

Final engineering samples are out with a 3.6GHz base clock and a 4.0GHz turbo clock. Should put it in well within 10% IPC of the 6900K.

Now for pricing.

Sweet!!! Vega should be out by June as well. They kept saying first half of 2017 at CES. If things go well with Vega when it comes out I am going to have to build myself a desktop for Christmas. The Vega 10 X2 (Dual card) is supposed to be released second half of the year.

ETA: @UltimateHog...

Low Volume - Ryzen

I also add the HB bridge for the GPU's.

I backed down the OC to 19% on the CPU and use the stock OC mode on the GPU's, so I am running little over 27K.

So I got my new laptop, which is about the same one suggested. It runs pretty good, the reg 1TB HD is pretty slow, but it's manageable. The games run really well, so that's my main concern.

One thing that is interesting about the laptop that I've never seen before is that it has both the GTX 1050 and Intel Integrated graphics on it. When I run the dxdiag it only says that the GPU is the Intel graphics and not the NVidia. My Device Manager screen shows both cards being installed and "working as intended" but when I disable the Intel Graphics it seems like the PC doesn't recognize the Nvidia because the resolution changes and everything isn't as clear.

Has anyone had experience with this? Is my PC actually using the Nvidia card?

Disclaimer: I have updated the NVidia driver's via HPs website (Nvidia doesn't have any more drivers available)

It will when you actually play a game. You wouldn't want it running all the time.

My laptop has a switch to swap between my GTX 1080 and the integrated Intel graphics. Must reboot in order for it to take effect. I never use my laptop while unplugged so I always just run off the 1080.

I'm reading that Ryzen quad cores will have a 45 watt TDP.
