Setting it up tonight. Pics to come.

Beast of a system, can't wait to see pics.

I've had PC fever recently and really want to upgrade all my shite. I'm thinking a subtle purple and gold theme, not too plain or too extreme.

Mass storage only. Didn't see the harm.

As expected, much better results for the AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT have now been spotted on Geekbench (v5.2). The single-core score was an impressive 1,413 points while the multi-core score was 12,970 points. These latest results make the Matisse Refresh chip a much more attractive prospect for desktop PC builders.


1413 and 12970 is a good jump from
1250 and 10498.

10900K still leads single core 1449 to 1413, while the 3900XT wins multi 12970 to 11414.

Never mind. After further research and some advice from tech Jesus, I’d be crazy not to roll with an i5 10600k for just $300

Deciding to just upgrade pretty much my whole PC at this point. 2070S is installed. Next up is CPU and Mobo. Not sure if I should go 9700k + Z390 or 10700k + Z490 for an extra $70.

Note: the 10700 has hyper threading, the 9700k does not.



Just go for the 10600k. Better value and when overclocked matches the 9900k/10900k in games.

(That is if you don't care about any sort of work/production tasks - get the Ryzen chips if you do, they are a better value for your money.)

You're sitting on an even bigger gold mine now

If you want to go high end for PC, get some AKG K701 and go ahead and grab the hel

Anyone who tries to defend against them don't know what the hell they're talking about.

I'd also rather go with the at2020

701 doesn't sound good for music though. Tried them. Very good for gaming though.

Dt 1990s is what he wants with a hel

I just use the desk stand it comes with. I bought an Amazon desk mount and had it up above me for awhile but it bothered me too much.

I think I got mine for just $70 on sale they get discounted nicely quite often.

Also use a Soundblaster Z soundcard for when I'm gaming but I'm an audiophile and wanted my Schiit for just music with a separate gaming sound.
