[@WolvenSpectre]

@@magzire Just the slightly older CPUs, especially in Xeon and higher end desktop CPUs. GRC has a tool that is called InSpectre that will tell you if it is affecting your CPU you can download for free and do a partial disable. In short some years back CPUs started using code to make educated guesses at what would be executed on it next, and would preload some of them and if it was right it would execute that saving allot of time by being more efficient. AMD and Intel both did it, but Intel was more aggressive with it. Then some smart security researches after coming up with some impressive RAM security hacks, wondered if they could do similar stuff with Speculative Execution and called it Spectre, and that lead to another weakness, and another and another going back for the better part of a decade. AMD was affected by some of the first stuff, but much of the later stuff depended on Intel's more aggressive versions of it that AMD didn't use. The only fix was to turn it off, so the tech making the chips fast and powerful was gutted. Game servers all over the place that were "good enough" suddenly were staining. In some rare cases certain game servers lost over 45% or their performance overnight. The good thing is that there has been no uses of these exploits showing up in the wild and as of now, all of them require hardware access to the computer to use it. In most cases if you turn it off you will be fine. Also allot of the performance issues with server software was fixed by tweaking the software, but there is still almost an average of 20% performance hit compared to before. I have the patches on my AMD CPU disabled, but only see a small difference, your results may vary.

I got a 250gb Samsung 860EVO ssd for $60 and added my 2x 3tb NAS drives. Then recently added a XFX 5600xt $300. So for roughly $550 I got a machine that can do light video editing, handle multitasking, game 1080p ultra and 4k medium settings. I run the CPU stock 99% of the time but if I want can I use Intel XTU and Throttle Stop to push all 6 cores to 4.4ghz and then I think its close to Ryzen 2600x performance. Either way this PC seems just as fast at half the price. I bring this up because Linus just did a video on it. I didn't care the Z420 doesn't support m.2 because even though its faster in the benches in real time use most people will not notice the slight speed boost. Samsung ssd in rapid mode is plenty fast. MY budget advice find a xeon v2 workstation dell, hp, lenovo, for cheap slap a few parts in it, your good to go.

@@franzb69 Well the thing is that with a bios flash you might screw up your card while OC'ing the new Ryzen and RX can't be more simple, so I really don't see the point. They are all so similar, that I'm sure that there are already sites that give you what exact numbers to put to get the most out of them, without having to waste 1-2 hours doing it yourself.

[@franzb69]

@@xingbairong that's why they've only done it with the reference versions. besides there are versions of the cards with a dual bios, just flash those and check it if it works. and also that's why i'm asking bryan coz he knows what he's doing. i've done it a few times before myself. fixed a few mining cards, put them back to stock and all that. it's not really that hard, at all. you just have to know what you're doing.

[@Wrathlon]

Its more expensive but the pinnacle from X79 is the E5-1680v2 8 Core unlocked (overclockable) Xeon. Yeah the E5-2689 goes to 3.3Ghz but my 1680v2 I'm currently running that at 4.6Ghz all Core which puts it between a 9700k and a 9900k. The sweet spot for memory on X79 is 2400Mhz - past that and the latency penalty offsets any gain assuming you can even find the handful of chips that were faster than that and 2400Mhz Quad Channel is still faster than 3200Mhz Dual Channel DDR4. You can also BIOS mod most X79 to add NVME boot support and then just get a cheap $20 PCIe x4 to M.2 adapter. The 40 PCIe lanes means it can handle multiple NVME drives without a problem, more than you could on modern normal chipsets. Honestly the only TRUE upgrade from this platform is going to be Threadripper 3000.

Disabling meltdown and specter protection really puts you at risk though now that everyone knows about it and writing code to take advantage of those that disable the protection.

the specture and meltdown are just temporary fixes anyway and you have to be very specifically targeted to be attacked which never happens unless its a server build and why he said best not too in that case

My budget build. (So far. Just literally started working on it this month.) I bought a used 2007 Hp pavilion, took out the stock Ram, and bumped it from gddr2 2gb, to 16gb of gddr3 with the 580mb of dedicated Vram cache. Swapped out the power supply, and upgraded to a 2 Tb Hybrid Drive. This thing actually crushes everything Except the new No-mans sky. Despite having a 4 core Amd Radion Hd6530D cpu/gpu combo.

Might see if I can backlight the front panel or something fun just to give it some flare.

[@WolvenSpectre]

@@nostrahazer8970 Ghostbusters Remix. Just because the artist may have the permissions to make and release the music does not mean that people on KZbin have the right to use it. For example Tipster on his channel used a remix with direct permission from the artist that used several samples, but the song had Nate Dogg saying "Hold Up" that was recognizable as him. Tipster used the music as his Intro, and therefore they copyright claimed almost every video he did for years and he had to go back and cut it out and get a new theme. The other option they had was to Copyright Strike his channel and by the third video he would have to appeal or lose his channel and right to own one on KZbin period. By Copyright Claiming they could take any undelivered proceeds from those videos and any future proceeds unless he removed the video. In this case if claimed TYC may have a chance to appeal it though as he could say the work was being used in parody/satire of eliminating the protections against Spectre and Meltdown with the lyrics "I aint afraid of no ghosts", but it would be an opinion thing on KZbin's part.

I mean, any upgrade would have to be an eight core otherwise i dont consider it an upgrade but any new 8 core build will probably cost me over $2500 CAD so I might be on this system for a good while lol.
