AMD’s Threadripper CPUs were designed to deliver incredible performance at shockingly cheap prices.

To be able to do this though, they absolutely need a powerful and reliable cooling solution. That’s especially true if you’re using the CPU for multi-core optimized tasks, such as rendering, as you’ll be running the processor at full capacity for extended periods of time.

As such, the last thing you want is an inefficient cooler that causes your CPU to exceed its thermal boundaries, which would ultimately throttle your processor and make it under-perform.Continue Reading

With the launch of Ryzen 3000 CPUs (3900X, 3800X, 3700X, 3600X, and 3600), AMD has closed the gap with Intel’s most premium offerings.

In fact, some of AMD’s CPUs seem to flat out beat their direct competition in every task imaginable.

I felt it was prudent to take a look at both the products these companies offer today and assess which is the best choice for a PC build this year.

Let’s answer the hotly debated question – Intel or Ryzen Processors in 2019?Continue Reading

Wondering what RAM would be perfect for your Ryzen PC Build?

RAM/Memory is one of the core components you need to build any PC. Although its specifications have always been affected performance, we haven’t seen such a drastic performance boost until AMD’s Ryzen processors came along.

I’ll go over why memory is so crucial to the performance of Ryzen CPUs as well as various factors you need to consider before buying your kit.

If you’re looking for a quick and dirty 16 GB RAM recommendation for Ryzen, here you go:Continue Reading

On the lookout for a motherboard that pairs well with a 3^rd Generation Ryzen CPU?

AMD’s 3^rd Generation Ryzen processors have changed the game when it comes to mainstream desktop computing.

They offer an unparalleled mix of multi-core and single-core performance – making the 3000-series of Ryzen CPUs an ideal choice for those who need to build a PC for 3D Rendering, Workstations for Adobe After Effects, a Video Editing PC or run as dedicated render nodes.

Navigating the crowd of motherboards out there and picking the perfect one is another story.

Technically, older AM4 motherboards (X470, B450, X370, B350, A320) do support all the 3^rd Generation Ryzen CPUs, including the Ryzen 9 3900X. However, this might mean leaving performance on the table depending upon your choice of CPU and motherboard.

Granted, some X470 motherboards will handle high-end CPUs like the 3900X just fine. But I think there are better options available in the X570 product stack.

Note – I’m assuming that you plan to buy a new motherboard for Ryzen’s 3000-series processors.
