Please Backup your Data!!!

Please don't stop making these videos, you are a miracle.

Thank you for the kind words!

I've been backing up to an external, but boy I have never considered the 'physical disaster' scenario: Fire, theft. Time to buy a 3rd drive and store it at a friend's place I guess. Something I have always wondered...do we have enough cloud space to actually store everyone's data?

[@UnhingedSystems]

If they "run out" of cloud space, they will just buy more and charge us more. I wonder if eventually we will ditch digital and go back to print. Honestly digital is so expensive and if we ever had a massive economic collapse digital would probably disappear pretty quickly. Interesting thought experiment.

nice work, i put 2 8TB WD black HDDs in my system, thanks again for the videos about your' build, im still working on my build video. what do you set your 5950x overclock to? i have mine @4.75GHZ stable and i cant seem to push past 4.6., and what are you temps? my idle is around 45-50c and under load it goes up to 60-65c. Like i have been saying, i copied this build and have a dark hero and 5950x with the EKWB monoblock; it is such a beast.

Presently I have CCD1 at 4.7 and CCD2 at 4.6, voltage at 1.3V. My CPU doesn't stretch as far as some others. Smaller loads like Cinebench are around 60-65 but larger AVX2 loads get toasty around 80C still. I don't do much with AVX2 workloads so it doesn't make much of an impact. As long as it isn't thermal throttling and hitting 90C I'm happy with it. I get weird stability issues and core stability issues beyond 4.7 regardless of voltage, loadline, or soc voltages. I find the power/performance starts getting diminishing returns past 4.4-4.5 GHz on my chip where the voltage has to start dialing up quite quickly. I can "cheat run" benchmarks with the CPU clocked over 5.1 all-core if crank up the voltages and pass a TimeSpy run, but the stability isn't daily driveable and would immediately crash and thermal throttle the system if I ran an AVX2 stability test. For science!!!

@@UnhingedSystems i used the A.i. suite 3 driver software that came with the motherboard, it works better than AMD RYZEN MASTER. i let it do a few runs and found 4.4 Ghz to be my sweet spot. keep making great videos, great work!

I use Macrium reflect v8

Hi sorry my question is off topic but do you think a 850 watt gold rated power supply would be ok for the 5950x or should I get something more powerful Thanks

[@UnhingedSystems]

Hello! Thank you for the question! The answer depends entirely on which GPU you want to get and if you plan on overclocking. For example my 5950X+3090 combo pulls over 900W stock and over 1050W overclocked. 850W (Gold) is plenty for say a 3070 RTX and a 5950X. If you are going to do any overclocking and pairing with a 3080 I recommend 1000W (Platinum) and with a 3090 and overclocking I recommend 1200W (Platinum). You "can" pair a 5950X and 3080 with an 850W without issues but as the PSU ages and newer higher power draw GPUs are on their way it may be prudent to go higher. You don't want to always be running your PSU at maximum power output.

@@UnhingedSystems thank you much appreciated I have the 3070 rtx I probably will go for 1000W just for the extra headroom. Cheers
