Pilotasso

I made the complete build and then during installation of the the OS I chose the drive (NVMe one) for installation. Once in windows you need to go to the drive manager in order to create a partition and format the other one, otherwise it wont show in explorer.

yes, by USB. You may want to start here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

Shame the plane was totaled but that was good belly landing and the pilot walked out from.

Alrighty then, post pics when the time comes!

I found this gem. It's about the Canadian tender in early 1980's that saw the F-18 selection. The speech about the F-18 matches EXACTLY what is being said today about the F-35. Talk about history moving in circles... 4xJBvKJht78

you will need to set the timings manually in UEFI. But theres a few presets in there to make life easy. You should be able to get 3200 with any B die kits.

there are more speeds possible. If you cant find kits from the QVL choose the kits in this list: https://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f13/die-ultimative-hardwareluxx-samsung-8gb-b-die-liste-alle-hersteller-27-05-18-a-1161530.html

We are going to fly over crowded cities, Dubai, Las vegas and who knows what other cites on other maps. I kept dreaming of this for decades, ever since I was promised this: Its not a bad thing, you can always turn detail down on your side instead of ED doing it. The era of quad cores is over. We have been asking ED to go multicore for many years, we are getting it (albeit only for rendering purposes for now).

As long as he stays with SAMSUNG B-die kits hes okay, the difference between those in the QVL and those outside of it is that they may not run at spec speeds right out of the box and may require manual configuration in UEFI like mine did. They work great just not at the 4266 rated speed. Heres a suggestion of 32 GB kit B die memory outside the QVL list: F4-3200C14Q-32GTZR https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14q-32gtzr A comprehensive list of B die memories can be found here: https://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f13/die-ultimative-hardwareluxx-samsung-8gb-b-die-liste-alle-hersteller-27-05-18-a-1161530.html

Fox, wait...is that memory kit certified for that vendor? be careful man, you might run into issues. That seems to be a dual sided RAM, the best compatible kits are single sided (i.e. 8 GB per stick, not 16), do you have the part number of that 2X16Gb kit? let me check that with the QVL list in the MOBO support page. EDIT: here it is (there are some 2X16 configs listed in there check if yours is one of them). The boards are usually compatible with more part numbers than those in the list but this is a safe way to go: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_CROSSHAIR-VII-HERO/C7H-Memory-QVL-Ryzen-2nd-Generation-Processors.pdf?_ga=2.207113878.442678731.1528625507-476160962.1493509646 You will want sticks made with SAMSUMG B-Die chips. If you cant find a kit from that list, there are others that will work fine (they will as long as they all are SAMSUNG B die) even though they might be running at different speeds. Usually SAMSUNG B dies are memories rated with the lowest timings (for example all kits @ 3200 MHz CL 14 are SAMSUNG's, a few are CL 15 but you need to double check those) Hynix and micron have nothing above 3600 (my kits weren't on the list but I knew they would work as SANSUNG is the only one making chips rated at 4266Mhz)

heres an interesting article about RAM speeds influence on AMD processors performance (On intel also happens albeit much less pronounced). HsQAtsKX3mE

What David Said ^^^^

Maybe on Intel CPU's thats true however on AMD side of things you can get 20-30% more performance due to memory speeds because the interconnects between the 2 quad core modules operate at the speed of the memory. This is huge, the bad part is that pricing hikes coincided with Ryzen launches. Otherwise that would be a cheap way to get more performance.

After I did my upgrade from 2500K to 1700x and then to 2700X I tested DCS and discovered it can use 7 full threads. So DCS is already past quad cores in the new engine. A 6 core will indeed yeld more performance however my testing revealed that a graphics card change will impact performance even more than the CPU does. The CPU change from the 2500K to 1700X gave me 14% more average FPS. When I changed from a GTX 970 to a 1080Ti it got me 68% more FPS. Finally when changing the 1700X to the 2700X this gave another 2% average which seems low, but on this time I was measuring the minimums as well and this improved by 16%. This test also revealed that the new AMD chips can keep up with a 1080Ti as it kept locked at 99% load during testing over Nellis (usage of both CPU and GPU will be lower over rural areas). If you have an I7 4790K then you would see a big improvement with a new graphics card but the 1080Ti will probably be bottlenecked by this CPU. In order to take the most out of it you need a faster CPU already. Nothing below an I7 7700K or an I5 8600K, in DCS optimum perfomance will be achieved only by higher core count above 4 cores/ 4 threads, and as ED implements more and more features of Vulkan I can expect going 8 cores could be a good idea then (we are not yet there).

MOBO: either ASROCK Taichi, or the ASUS crosshair VII (the strix gaming F is also a good one if you want to save some money).

S-97 Raider! HncZgouxt9k

Top Gun 2: the Return of Goose? :huh:

disable Sense Mi in bios (the referred temperature offset) and use SVI2 TFN voltage sensors within HWinfo 64.

since ED has changed the API in DCS 2.5, converting to VULKAN and we have elements of it already.

Some boards use artificial temperature offsets, not to mention that there are more than one temperature sensors and some apps are reading wrong, it's a mess. You need to research for your motherboard BIOS options too see if there is such offset, and what apps can read the correct values. I use hwinfo 64 and it reads 2 different te. PS for that cpu, you need to choose the correct o é and hide the other one

Clock for clock per core both CPU's are nearly identical and DCS is using more than 4 cores right now, not to mention you can use those 32Gb as well. So use the R7 for DCS, give the I7 to wife.

Congrats gavagai. With the stock cooler maybe its not worth to be too daring with overclocks. Just make sure it can boost to the advertised boost speeds by, for example, choosing the high performance power plan. If you leave on balanced it will be more conservative or hold the boost for less time. other than that I would only overclock the memory to at least 3200 Mhz to get the most out of it.

Forget that 1080, the 11 series are about to be released and a 1170 is almost as fast as a 1080Ti, thats the one you will want.

oh man block 50 with GE engines hmm hmm

Both CPU's are Unlocked, those 30$ more for the X is just binning and for out-of-the-box boost speeds. For overclocking you will get varied mileage, but beware that people are reporting less success bringing vanilla 2700's to X levels than it was for 1700 to X levels. Even within the same SKU people are reporting wildly different max memory speeds. I got lucky and I am the few who can run 32 GB's at 3533 but some cant even go past 3200 with just 2 sticks of same manufacturer (SAMSUMG B-DIE). But that should be sufficient. For me it was worth the change from 1700X to 2700X, because in single thread gaming it brought me 16% more minimum FPS and I still saved money because this years pricing on memory and GFX gotten so high that it covered the extra 320€ I paid for the new CPU. Note: it will run the same on the older motherboards as the new ones. The only difference between X370 and X470 lies in the new storage Mi tech that for me is not worth because biting the bullet for a full main SSD is the way to go, no reason to cheap out a high end system and create a bottleneck there if you can afford it anyway.
