Hey Paul - I just wanted to take minute to say thank you. It had been 20 years since I attempted to put together a PC, but after finding your page and watching several videos I decided to give it another shot. I followed your videos first in purchasing all of the hardware, assembling the system and then installing the OS and optimizing the software. By far the fastest, and most economical PC I have ever owned. To top it all off, there is something really rewarding in being able to do something slightly outside your comfort zone as well. In the end, everyone should take comfort in knowing Paul's process and instructions work. If I can do it, anyone can. The videos are excellent. Very much appreciate the time and effort and production you apply to your channel.

For the Linux question: The fast and easy answer is: any distro that's released a version in the last 3 years will almost assuredly support Ryzen. Ubuntu, since it was mentioned, even as far back as 16.04 (the oldest version I see in any meaningful frequency these days) will support it. The longer answer is sometime around kernel version 4.10 is when there's decent enough support for most functions/features you'd want. After that, there have been some extra things like patches for temperature monitoring, some optimizations/security fixes, etc. Zen 2 support came later, but really most popular distros should have no issue at this point. For example, I've run debian, Ubuntu, and arch on zen 2 without issues at all.

Amd though is easy and i have heard people say its better because amd themselves have worked on the drivers. Windows 7 i think is NOT supported by new cpu's. Especially ryzen.
@theboomerang1314 жыл бұрын
Also wanting to add that this support is at the *kernel* level, not the *distro* level - I'm running a 3600X using Manjaro (which is a derivative of Arch Linux, which I do not recommend trying until you get a bit more Linux experience under your belt because... sometimes things can break) and literally everything worked right out of the box. You will be able to run Ubuntu Studio with zero issues at all using any generation of Ryzen currently available. As far as supporting "older" CPUs - as long as the CPU supports the AMD64/x86_64 CPU instruction set extension (in other words, 64-bit CPUs, which if I'm not mistaken support goes all the way back to the Pentium 4 days), it will run any recent Linux kernel.

I've been building my own systems for a long time now, and I can honestly say that I've just learned something watching this video. I recently bought a new setup as my old computer tanked completely. Old computer was DDR3, so this was my first experience delving into DDR4 from a build standpoint. For the new build, I bought a kit of 2x8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws V 3600 CL16-19-19-39. Went back a couple weeks later for a new video card and decided to double the RAM since that same kit was still available and on sale. Now, I'm running into timing issues with the RAM. I can get the system stable at 3200 with appropriate timings. 3600 forces the CMOS to revert, and anything between causes stability issues. I should note that this isn't running it through the XMP profiles available, as they don't work. There's other preloaded memory configurations available that I use instead. I've checked the compatibility list for my motherboard as well (MSI X570-A Pro), and noted that the specific kit SKU isn't on the list, though it is very close to other compatible kit SKUs for G.SKILL. I was writing it off as a compatibility issue between the motherboard and the RAM, but after watching this, I'm wondering if it's because of using two dual kits, even though they are the exact same SKU. I hadn't done the XMP prior to adding the additional RAM, so I might test that out when I get home later to see if two sticks will run stable at their rated clock and timing.

@rcslyman89293 жыл бұрын
@@pranaysaini6418 No, it did not. However, yesterday I got around to upgrading my processor from a 2700x to a 5600x. Which, of course, required a BIOS update on my x570 board (I did a BIOS update when I built this system, as well). After swapping in the hardware and booting up, I went to configure the CMOS. On a lark, I tried the XMP settings. Lo and behold, both profiles were matching and at the correct timings for those kits (they weren't, previously). Just activated the XMP, and have had no issues whatsoever. I am fairly certain since I had updated the BIOS when I had gotten the motherboard, that the BIOS update wasn't the corrective action. I believe it was an incompatibility with the memory controller either within that generation of Ryzen, that particular series or lot of R7s, or maybe just the MC within my particular CPU was crap. Either way, problem resolved.

For streaming PC to remote TV: Depends what 'smart' features the TV has. Can use a wireless-display feature (different terms depending on brand) to clone/extend PC's desktop & games etc for no extra money at all, just make sure TV is connected to same network as PC (Ethernet or WiFi, either should work). If you want to control the PC from the TV-room, there are apps for that. Streaming media to a Smart TV can usually be done by the TV's media sharing app, again for free. Another option is a thunderbolt cable run between the rooms and a hub on the TV-room end for connecting peripherals, can even connect the TV to that for a single-cable solution. (LTT's Linus does this in his house so they don't hear their PC cooling noises etc while they work). IDK how much that solution costs, but a single cable for screen and peripherals is likely easier than a cable for each. Price will depend on the length of the cable-run, naturally. I have a 30-metre HDMI cable I used to use for connecting a projector over a drop-ceiling; it was cheap and worked fantastic for my use-case. I could even set an Android phone/tablet as a WiFi touch-pad/keyboard to control the PC source. Great for streaming movies, though I never tried to 'game' with such a setup! Hope my rambling is helpful to someone :)

Paul, Paul.. The Steam from PC-to-PC is called "In Home Streaming" The Steam to a Steamlink or to a device using the Steamlink APP is Steamlink. Steamlink is (im not sure how people dont understand this) also a fully featured Remote client. Just click the corner "Exit Big Picture Mode" and BOOM, you're staring at your desktop. You can play ANY games via Steamlink that way. You exit Big Picture, and then just use your mouse and keyboard (plugged into your Steamlink (device or the device running the App) and open up your other game. Works fine. You can even use it to do real work, watch movies, whatever. Its a full up remote desktop experience. The best way to do it, IMO, is an nVidia Shield TV, since itll actually support 4k. The Steamlink Hardware (discontinued) doesn't (only 1080p). The app on Android or iOS (or Raspbian, you can use a Raspberry Pi to make a Steamlink this way) has to support 4k/60 if you want it to work, which the shield does. iOS and Android devices that aren't Android TV (of which the Shield TV is by FAR the best) would have to have some way to output to your TV, of course, and generally only work over wireless.. and the AndroidTV/ShieldTV has Ethernet, which is a lot more stable. And if your PC hardware wont hack 4k... the ShieldTVs AI upscaling is actually quite good and can be applied to games. The ShieldTV also lets you stream your PC (full remote capability) with the nVidia In Home Streaming option if you have an nVidia GPU.

Nice job Paul, especially on the RAM upgrade options. A lot of people skip over the XMP / timings issue when adding an identical matched 2-DIMM kit to a system that already has the exact same 2-DIMM kit and I find that the only people that tend to be aware of that issue are people that have actually run into it first-hand. You didn't go into the advantages / disadvantages of 2 vs 4 ranks (single and dual-ranked DIMMs) and 1T vs 2T command rates, which if done correctly can offer upwards of a 25% performance increase in certain workloads that are often memory bottlenecked. For example: using 4 x DDR4-3733 @ C16 T2 over Ryzen optimized 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200 @ C16 T1 can offer up-to 25% faster compression/decompression rates and up-to 10% higher frame rates in certain titles, although it can actually hurt performance in some scenarios as well. I admit that while that config requires a mild overclock and knowledge that your hardware can do it, it's beyond what 99% of people are going to want to do, or need for that matter.

(identical timings, slightly better subtimings) Figure I would sell the older memory but decided I try to run both of them together. They worked. Overclocked them to the old subtimins I had. Surprisingly also worked flawlesslty with perceived improved timing. Decided to keep it. Glad I did, FS2020 needs more than 16gb at high+ These cheap Crucial Ballistx often go above 3466 C16 speed on modern x570 boards, but unfortunately, anything above 3266 on my x370 won't boot. Tough the thight timings I have gives better numbers than a stock loose 3600 c16 kit. You often have margin for tightening RAM. If you have compatibility problems with 4 dims, often you only need to deal with initial memory training with XMP off to stabilize the 4 dimms, increase the voltage, disable geardown and gradually increase frequency. You eventually will be able to even overclock the ram above its stock speed.

Important for a Ram upgrade is also on which platform you are. I got a 2000series Ryzen CPU and i added also 2 stick to my existing 2 Sticks, so that I have a total of 4; they are all rated for 3200mhz speed, they are all the same type/Kit of ram, same manufacturer, same frequency, same CL, same capacity. However, I ran into stability issues when I try to run them with their DOCP Settings(or XMP as most know it(but that just on Intel, while DOCP is on AMD). My System kept crashing all the time. I remember hearing back in the days, that the ram controller on Zen+ can't handle 4 stick with such speed, I lowered the speed to 2999mhz and never faced any problems. This might seem an easy fix, but I am sure a lot of people would have thought the ram would be dead on arrival, and would not have been able to fix the problem.

Very timely video. I had tried to upgrade the RAM and now it fails to boot. Black screen and fan just turns on and off like it is rebooting. I'll out old RAM back in ...

Raspi ftw. If you want to keep it on 24/7, power consumption alone would make it cost-effective over any old PC in about a year.

You can actually use SteamLink (or Steam in home streaming) with many non-Steam games (or other software) simply by adding them to the Steam library on the host system - Add a game -> Add a Non-Steam Game.

I also learned from Episode #49 about not using the front panel audio jack. I had wondered why it sounded so flat and tinny. It would make sense though that an onboard DAC is routed to the back IO panel. Not so much a question, just wanted to say thanks. also a fairly new sub, and enjoying the videos quite a bit! All the info has been super helpful. Looking forward to picking up a proper beer glass set from your shop.

When I upgraded my monitor I briefly lost my mind trying to get the colors to look "correct" to me. I had gone from a bog-standard panel to a 144 ips and also from HDMI to DP. When I was playing overwatch I would constantly be clicking around trying to get the "vibrant" colors I was familiar with across the board. Turns out I was just used to looking at improperly calibrated images. Spent way too long realizing my new panel just tends to slightly yellow so bumped up the blue in nvidia and then even longer calibrating it by eye.

The Steam Link hardware was not limited to games. It was full access to the PC. Steam Link also has Bluetooth for my keyboard and mouse. Whatever I want to do at my computer in my bedroom, I can do from the living room. My desktop has 2 monitors, and on the single screen in the living room, it showed whichever the mouse moved to, instantly. I thought that was clever. Guess not? When they went on sale, I purchased an extra, just in case.

As much as I thoroughly enjoy watching your tech-oriented videos, do you plan on uploading more casual-like videos? Like your kitchen remodel or any house work? I always enjoy watching people's daily lives, in a non-weird/stalker, way. I don't know if other people relate to this, but it's good to see popular people do "normal human things" if that makes sense.

Hi Paul, great content! I am in need of your well-probed (and hopefully probative) wisdom. I find my 17(?) year old Logitech Z-680s are just about reaching their end of life and will need to be replaced. To be honest they have been limping along for a few years now. Obviously, if something works (6 apartments and 2 houses later) I will use it until it dies. Sadly, I looked beyond the obvious Logitech Z906 replacement into the confusing world of motherboard DACs, external DACs, amplifiers, A/V receivers, ahhhhhhh! You were the first person I thought of to hopefully help me understand this chaos. I am looking for a way to use common speakers (e.g. bookshelf speakers, studio monitors) while keeping the flexibility to use a headset every now and then. Oh, if it helps, I am a professor, so remote learning compatibility (e.g. Zoom, Teams) is a must. Please help! Also, please stay safe (you and the family)! Thanks! XL

For BC Field Technician: Ubuntu 20.04 runs great on my ryzen machine. Ryzen5 2600, XFX RX580 8GB vid card, 16gb RAM, 500GB NVMe, B450M-DS3H mobo. I have used ubuntu 16, 18 and now 20 on that machine daily for 2 years and have not had one problem. Basically if its AMD it will run fine on linux. AMD stuff is built into the kernel so all the stuff just works automagically. Some nvidia cards have problems on some distros. There are nvidia drivers for linux though.

For the different rooms problem: I recommend a cheap ChromeOS/Linux laptop. I wiped an $89 ASUS Chromebook, gave it Ubuntu, and run SteamLink. ChromeOS has issues with cursors and ends up giving two cursors (the reason I wiped ChromeOS off and put Ubuntu), but works perfectly fine with controller games. Also, if it's a looks thing (I know people who don't want a PC by their TV), MSI makes a console looking PC.

so paul i decided to take on a repair project of my uncle's nonfunctional prebuilt computer and i ran into a wall the problem he told me he had was that the graphics card (TUV Rheinland JH M3) had "melted" from overheating and that it wouldn't display, which was probably true, since it did not display, however the motherboard (HP Angellica rev 1.2 ) only had an optical cable out and i had nothing compatible with it to test his theory. when i took the build apart, it was incredibly disgusting inside by the way, i didnt notice any evidence of damage but after cleaning, reseating the majorty of the hardware including the amd processor i decided to just replace the card. one display port to hdmi adapter later i had a successful display of the hp logo, but when attempting to open the boot menu, or anything other than that screen, the display went black. i tried two different monitors, two different hdmi cables and both display port outs on the graphics card, but nothing happened for up to an hour. the fans would occasionally ramp up like it was going to do something, and the cd drive would spin, but still nothing. i couldnt even access the uefi... im wondering what i should try to do from here, because at this point i think ive invested too much time effort and cash for this computer to turn into a foot rest, even if its a little older.

Just to update people on the in home streaming of pc games. There is a function in steam where you can add any .exe to the program and launch it from the remote client so it’s NOT limited to just steam games.

There are zero issue running any modern Linux distro on Ryzen. I currently have Unraid, Debian SID and Arch all running on Ryzen machines. Graphics drivers will be the bigger issue and the answer varies depending on if its AMD or Nvidia but both are fairly easy to get working.
