OH YES AMD RX Vega 64 Outperforms NVIDIA RTX 2080 by up to 20% in Vulkan Enabled World War Z https://wccftech.com/amd-rx-vega-64-outperforms-nvidia-rtx-2080-by-14-in-vulkan-enabled-world-war-z/

Decent caustics..

..the price is right

I was going to say "blah blah blah blah blah...." Then I decided all I needed to say was "good".

Wow, dodged a bullet; Corsair is recalling one lot (fewer than 1%) of its Platinum closed-loop liquid coolers due to a known leak. This issue isn't widespread, fortunately, but owners of affected coolers should respond to the recall. FF to 9:19 mark

Yeah I'll use it too once I get CPUID installed in Windows but I haven't installed Windows yet. Just reading off the AMD UEFI for now.

It's running 61.5C now with three additional fans put in. What temps do you get under load? https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/amd-ryzen-threadripper-2950x-review,8.html To what extent should I take this offset for consistent fan policy into account with my CPU temp? My radiator feels pretty cool to the touch. Even the heat pipes down at the bottom of the radiator are quite cool. Is your CPUID HWMonitor taking into account this AMD Offset for consistent fan policy or is it giving a direct readout of the True Junction Temp (Tdie)? So if my UEFI is reporting CPU Temp (tCTL) of 61.5 C - tCTL offset for Fan Policy of 27 C = True Junction Temperature (Tdie) of 34.5 C ??

I plugged in the two front fans and the CPU temp dropped to a steady 64C. I've got three more 120mm fans for that mid case rack so that will probably lower it a bit more. What's your temperature range between idle and load?

Installed the Dark Rock TR4 and also seated the second 32 GB of RAM in their correct slots and fired it up; getting a solid 64C. I used the Thermal Paste that came with the Dark Rock air cooler. That glowing Radeon VII logo sure looks pretty. And all sitting behind 4320 Joules of surge protection. It's nice that I didn't have to spend a fortune on a UPS just to get surge protection.

I just bought one; I'll use the 1tb M2 to run the OS and I'll install all my software to the San Disk.

You know that XP Pen series are really great value for the dollar. I've seen other Wacom competitors and didn't think much fo them but these are really good, even the tablets...they're just dirt cheap. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Those are crazy low prices. Just to compare; the wacom Intuos pads are like $600 now... That Artist Display 22E Pro comes with a good stand, better than teh stock Cintique, it's 1920 x 1080 pixels, comes with a glove, a 8000 pressure level pen for $569 USD. And it looks like it's better quality than the Huion.
