Is it different for Ryzen? I still haven't done my 6800XT yet either. I ordered new liquid metal then found mine the next day.

I've always done the pea method with Intel. Someone told me AMD recommends a pea and 4 outer smaller dots so it looks like a 5 on dice since the chip is bigger and has a different layout under the IHS. Some people swear by the cross for it though.

I'd probably go cross if it were me. I always did pea as well with my Intel.

Well I tested the cross and it works good. I’m glad I didn’t just go with it. I forgot to take the damn packing sticker off the back of the waterblock. Well I didn’t have to clean the water block at least. Doh lol

Clearly i know im overpaying for a ASUS ROG build, but im fanboying, and i got that AMD/BITCOIN $$$, and im splurging.
probably wait for 6900xt ASUS ROG version instead of ASROCK GPU.
Other than my obvious overpaying for ASUS ROG, does this look right for memory/Mobo/Power supply?
I chose the 850W Thor power supply, but there is a ASUS ROG 750W for half that price.

Looks good, are you referring to the AIO LC one?
Smart Access Memory is a game changer, makes me want to upgrade cpu seeing the gains.

I really liked the 6800XT one you posted, was hoping one came out for the 6900.
Posted on 1/1/21 at 12:09 pm to SpeedyNacho
The liquid cooled one from Asus? There's a 6900XT one. I almost never see them drop though.

Just bought Dirt Rally 2.0 GOTY and Jurassic World: Evolution Premier Edition on Steam.
I'm just an absolute sucker for racing games and dinosaurs

Ryzen 5 and an rx580. Only had 8gb of ram which was my big issue. Installed 16 gun last night and had zero issues.
I’m completely addicted to this game.
shite I just remembered asking about this. Yeah I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and a 2060. I think the 48 gigs of ram I have will be sufficient.
Might look into it this weekend. So is there a decent way for noobs to work themselves into this game or would I be put in the same lobby as fricking Summit?

There’s actually an offline mode for you to learn the feel of the game against bots and I would highly recommend it because you dont lose gear like you would normally.
Posted on 1/2/21 at 10:02 am to pmacattack
Yeah I played it for few rounds to learn the health mechanics.
I’m alternating between that and trying scav runs hoping to get lucky
