Might have to make the move to a custom loop and get my 3090 on it.
Cinebench up to 11531(pretty damn good) and Port Royal is OK at 13761
Here's my settings for a start if you're using the Dark Hero with the 5950x (ignore the RAM stuff if you don't have the same/similar sticks):
Extreme Tweaker
Memory Frequency: DDR4-3800
FCLCK Frequency: 1900MHz
Timings set to 14-16-16-36
Command rate locked to 1T
Core Performance Boost: Enabled
DRAM Voltage: 1.475v
Precision Boost Overdrive
Precision Boost Overdrive: Enabled
CPU Core Ratio (per CCX)
Core VID: 1.3
CCX0: 45
CCX1: 45
Dynamic OC Switcher: Enabled
Current Threshold to Switch to OC Mode: 75
Can't to get into it more and screw with each core individually/editing the curve.

Playing games and streaming video of him playing is what he wants to do with it.
Her son is 13. Kid seems like a pretty dedicated gamer but I suppose between money and how whimsical kids are she doesn't want to spend too much.
Anyone else have a recommendation on an entry level gaming/streaming pc? He already has a monitor and gaming mouse/keyboard - only needs the tower itself.

Just curious why did you do a 1600W power supply? Did you just pick the most expensive everything? I think you could have gone with a $150 PSU and been fine unless you’re adding a bunch more shit to this later?
Sick build.

This comment from PCPicker is great for that PSU
“More powerful than some air-conditioning units and build better than some military-grade electronics.”

overkill build
Plus the monitoring capabilities of it are pretty rad, the efficiency is amazing, I could keep yapping... just a dumb overkill. Probably the only part I feel like I overpaid for but it's also the best of the best of the best sir.
lol @ just picking the most expensive everything though. I'd be running SLI 3090 if that were the case.
Cinebench up to 11752 now.

I went with a 10700k. I want a 5600x, but I don't think I want to wait until March to get the pc built. The video card is a PH since I'll just get whatever 30 series card I can get first. Primarily for gaming & home use. I dabble in video editing and audio recording sometimes, but not enough to build around it.
Edit: Ended up ordering it. Just need to find a 3080 sometime soon

It's what he's got probably.
I'm on a 6700k with my 3080 currently because Zen 5000 series aren't obtainable (no 5800 does not count, terrible value).

Right? That's almost as stupid as building a 5950x/3090 build with a custom loop and not OC'ing it. Or Doing a similar build with a $500 PSU but not doing a custom loop/LN2 cooling to max out the power draw. Some people, I tell ya.

has anyone used rufus to make a windows iso and put it on a usb? when it was done it gave me this message and i have no clue what it means i usually install from a cd
you have created a media that uses uefi:ntfs bootloader, to boot this media turn off secure boot
how would i go about this?
do i need to put the iso on the usb or the actual setup.exe?
does it matter if i reformat from usb or just using the setup.exe from my PC and do it that way?

You don't need rufus, just google. If you used that you'd quickly learn that you can create installation media very easily. Create installation media for Windows

Secure boot just means trusted in this case.

You'd need to go into the bios and turn it off for the boot process. It's probably not worth the hassle if all you want to install is home or pro, and the media creation tool will suffice.

Please just use the Windows Media Creation tool to download and install via USB. Then change boot order through BIOS to USB to start the install. No other easier way imho.
