Also if you go air cooling and are confident with your abilities, consider delidding to drop temps. more (5 to 20C). If you go air cooling I would assume it is on the basis of long term stability, so don't use liquid metal either. Also invest in a nice PSU (gold minimum) with your peak load pulling only 75% of the rated max wattage

Edit: Like most things look at components real-world testing figures, in this case, wattage, as opposed to TDP when planning


TR is a nine die CPU that is pretty difficult to delid and the improvement is minimal, nowhere near "5 to 20 C". It's not a 7700K.


Yeah to be fair I was basing my numbers on past projects namely Intel. I haven't looked at TR specifically just offered up the suggestion for those who have never heard of it to look into


Ryzen CPUs are soldered, delidding has minimal impact.


To be honest I can't recall any AMD CPUs that weren't soldered... apart from those that didn't have an IHS in the first place ;)

Intel was just like "we can save 4 $ BOM cost on a 500 $ part there" with their 4th-9th generation of CPUs. No thermal headroom? No problem.


0.8%? Could be worth billions.


My mistake, I thought Ryzen CPUs were still bonded with silicone and a ??? grade paste on the IHS


From my estimations they could not release Episode 3 as public hype eclipsed anything any game studio could produce. The anticipation became too strong as people expect nothing less than perfection. They used Alyx to re-anchor expectations

Edit: I believe a similar phenomenon occurred with Disney's Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, objectively some mistakes were made, but the sheer outcry from fans is an order of magnitude stronger than the mistakes made, imo this is caused from the mismatch of the idea of what Star Wars can be/means to you versus what you can concretely produce (with technical and cultural constraints)
