Yeah timings is actually pretty important, from what I've seen in some reviews.

How long have you had the RAM? Back in the days of DDR3, I had a pack of Kingston RAM that died on me after only a year.

I just bought it.

Just been orientation days, so can't say much. It's been a very nice experience though, kinda funny when they introduce us to all the higher-ups and I know more than half of them on a first-name basis already! The CEO is new because the old one retired in 2016 or 2017 and he's a very nice guy. I'm liking the vision of this company, after all, it's a credit union and they're more friendly than banks! Tomorrow I go into IT training, so I'll have more to report on as the week goes on!

Good luck!

Also I want this for no reason.

I have absolutely no point in having one, using it fully, and everything in between. It just seems fun to have 32c/64t.

[Alindra]

Good luck!

Seconded!

Just think, Threadripper 2 builds will have more cores than most people have GB of RAM. That's just bananas... I approve.

I wonder if/how badly memory bandwidth is going to bottleneck it.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Seconded!

That would depend on the memory configuration, really.

[DeltrusDisc]

WTB Octa-channel memory. Duh.

Do you guys think it's worth it yet for me to update my CPU/mobo? I doubt replacing the RAM is even remotely a good idea.

I might be wrong but I don't think you do anything that would make you need more CPU throughput, so it goes down to wanting to do it just for the sake of doing it. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it though, wanting to have something nicer and newer is completely normal, and the money is yours so if you really want it there's no reason not to go for it. Still, to make it worth your money in pure throughput you'd need to go with at least a threadripper, or the performance difference per money spent would be bad. I'd personally just wait longer, until either your CPU decides to die (so, never) or when you actually need more and a 6/12 Haswell isn't enough anymore.

Are you seeing a CPU bottleneck in the tasks you ask your computer to do? If not, then you'd only be upgrading for the sake of upgrading

With TR2 releasing soon, I'd at least wait for that (supposed to be Q3 2018).

I do edit photography, i.e. CR2 files of >20MB most often and in Adobe Lightroom.

Probably not often enough, though. ;o

Newer bigger better CPUs will likely always edit photography and render the files faster, so I guess the answer is yes!

But, see above.

[Remilia]

Only time in my opinion for photo editing do you need more throughput is when you're batch editing. Say you're back from a photo shoot, nature shoot or whatever. Hundred+ photos need to be processed from their raw format asap and send it off to editors to play with.

[DeltrusDisc]

I am the editor. Mwahahaha

[DeltrusDisc]

Whoa this new forum look for mobile is... Interesting.

[Remilia]

Oh, it's out for you guys now, had no idea, lol.

Anyways, it's still a bit rough but leave any suggestions here or somewhere, or everywhere, will relay them to chaud.

[DeltrusDisc]

Yeah, as long as it stays on mobile, it's fine. It does look messier, though, to be honest.

Unimportant: no post count?! How will all the mobile users know how important I am?!

[Remilia]

It's a mobile only thing atm.

And yeah, any suggestions to clean it up and what not. (was actually worse before than it is now).

[DeltrusDisc]

Phase 1 has begun...

Just ordered a Crucial MX500 1TB.

In due time I'll be getting a 1TB NVMe as well.

[DeltrusDisc]

spending up new raise money?

lol maaaaybe.

I just need some extra space in my computer, tbh.

I'm also planning on reinstalling Windows 10, I think. Or maybe I'll just clone it over to the new NVMe whenever I get that. We'll see. I'm really happy though with how long this computer has run so stable for.

[Remilia]

Can I get an XPS13 with Lenovo Keyboard with a Ryzen 2700U, dual DIMM and WWAN.
