Yup, the X3D is a great CPU, especially for gaming. It will happily blaze through anything you are likely to throw at it outside of gaming, too.Interesting on the graphics cards and the X3D, I hear the X3D would be a good one to go for. I hear it’s good on gaming and looking at the reviews it’s very popular. Would I assume it’ll be good other than gaming too?
How long does each gen last is it every year or few years? Just checked in the AMD website that the new X3D only has one specific ram think it was 5600mhz . If that’s the case you can only put that 5600mhz ram in and not say 6000mhz. Would that cause issues?The previous gen X3D chip that really impressed was the 5800X3D, it put down some cracking benchmarks.
This.You could pick up a 6600 XT for about that. Outperform a RTX2060 easily
good shout, for some reason I default to Nvidia....
It's where the cool kids are at who don't want to be hampered by older tech that caters for the paupers... 🫣🤭good shout, for some reason I default to Nvidia....
including me....It's a common mistake most people make.
I wouldn't go for it personally. It's an old CPU and platform from 2016.Hi all, me again, guy locally who builds PC’s has said the following spec:
Xeon E5-2667 V4 8 Core CPU
X99 Motherboard
16 or 32Gb 2400Mhz Ram
512m.2 SSD + 1Tb HDD
750W PSU
1660 Super or 2060 super
Price would differ if 32gb Ram and 2060 super
He’s saying £400/450 depending on spec, is that any good?

Thank you, will go back to him and see what else he has, son's birthday in a week or so, he will have the money then to get one organised, am sure I will have more questions, thanks Tom for the replies, much appreciatedI wouldn't go for it personally. It's an old CPU and platform from 2016.
Performance wise in games it's not as bad as you might expect for an old CPU.
Also you want larger M.2 drive ideally. 512gb doesn't hold a great deal now for installing games. Ignore the 1tb HDD, that's only for photos, music storage etc.
You can always turn it off if you don’t like it.I still don’t know wether I should get RGB for the first time on my new build, would be nice to change colours when you want but on the other hand I just want a plain look.
That's good to know you can turn it off and on. Also can you adjust the brightness level up or down too?You can always turn it off if you don’t like it.
I’ve got a stealth build since my case transplant, but 3 fans in the front with RGB if you want it to look like a Christmas tree, or you can just turn them off.
Generally the bigger the fan the more air it moves and the quieter it is.That's good to know you can turn it off and on. Also can you adjust the brightness level up or down too?
The case I'm looking at is the Lian Li Lancool 216 and say if i go for that case with RGB it's 2 x 140mm at the front and 160mm at the back. After looking at some videos ideally the ideal size is 120mm for noise and effeiency which would need 3 a the front, is 120mm still the go to size ?
Could i get a non RGB case and just put the RGB fans in the new case or does it not work that way? Also say if i get 4 new 120mm Corsair RGB fans, do i need a controller for that or do they just plug into the motherboard and use what ever settings they is, if so how do use the settings?
I still havn't made my mind on the case 100% but im also looking at the fractal cases too. Seen Gamers Nexus on the 216 and there's sagging due to the weight and another slight issue to the nvme 2280 ssd location
ah ok, i'm sure i thought and saw a video saying other wise about the noise increase on the larger fans. I could be wrong. As for the stock fans is it worth keeping them and not replace them with better quality ones, it seems common on the build videos they take them off and put be quiet and corsair ones on. Is it hardly noticable the noise going from stock to aftermarket ones?Generally the bigger the fan the more air it moves and the quieter it is.
Also the type of blades and fan depth affect the pressure and how much air can be moved through radiators, filters, grilles etc.
I don't have any 120mm fans fitted.
I have read about that, I did update the bios which said about improving cpu stability but didnt do anything.Dying 14900k…? Didn’t intel extend the warranty on them because of all the issues?
People seem to say its either working or not. Although I've read that about cpus too, when there have been faults in the cpu I have...Motherboard related perhaps?
Yes but was still the same..Have you also tried with only one stick of RAM to eliminate that as an issue? Try both sticks individually in both slots.
I think youll need a fan controller to adjust the fans individually for colour and brightness.That's good to know you can turn it off and on. Also can you adjust the brightness level up or down too?

Feel hopeless figuring out what's wrong with this...
Started to have loads of bsod (kmode exception not handled, attempted execute of noexcute memory, system service exception) and a few others.
Formated nvme drive and did fresh install of windows, I got bsod a bunch of times trying to install windows, managed to install but still get bsod. I test with samsung diagnostic tool now and says drive is fine.
Did intel processor diagnostic tool test, first time failed on floating points, test again and passed all.
Test memory which was fine, although haven't done memtest yet.
Wont install nvidia driver, at first before doing fresh install it came up with 7-zip crc error, then did so after fresh instal but managed to get past that, but fails to install.
I think all this s**t started when I was in a game and fan control seemingly bugged out and cpu temps and fan speeds were way off. I struggle to even open fan control now, it would take some 10 attempts to open.
The fact that it was bsod trying to install windows on a formatted drive made me think hardware, but Im doing the tests and its coming back ok.

I need to look into this properly if I’m going RGB, I looked at some videos in the Lian Li 216 and there’s some buttons on the case specifically for the RGB, I presume that’ll be the controller? Or is all done by software in the pc?I think youll need a fan controller to adjust the fans individually for colour and brightness.
If you daisy chain them you lose that individual fan control.
The RGB may be controlled on the case. I have it on mine (Phantek) but I haven't tried it.I need to look into this properly if I’m going RGB, I looked at some videos in the Lian Li 216 and there’s some buttons on the case specifically for the RGB, I presume that’ll be the controller?

@Ph1 Tom last might I saw a video on to do with the Lian Li 216 and seen there’s 160mm not 140mm, getting conflicted sizing. You were right bigger the fan less noise and more efficient.l, also those stock fans are ok to keep and not worth replacing.
Seen a video to do with the Lian Li 217 and 207 the 217 looks nice but not sure on the wood effect
