  1. I've been super stable from day dot. 2600 on MSI B350 Gaming Pro, first with a 1060 6GB and now 2070 Super (bought just at the start of the crisis). The only thing though is overclocking. I got a really good stable overclock with my first memory, but had to manually overclock it. ryzen Master did all sorts of strangeness. then when I changed Memory to 3200 Ripjaws V I struggled to get it to clock up to 3200, even though it was on the support list. Yet the previous team 2133 ran happily at 2667, even 2866, anyway, but I struggled to get the supposedly much better 3200 to run more than 2933. Later bios updates fixed that. XMP profiles are erm... messed up. Then when I changed coolers to a far better one I lost my overclock profile, even though it was saved it was just gone. Manually tried to reinstate it, just gone. Set the same settings, it wouldn't take them. Eventually found a stable slightly higher overclock, but it was serious work to get it. Why is it harder to overclock with better quality components, AMD? WHYYYYYYY? Anyway, I've tossed up upgrading, was gonna go 3600, then 3800X, or maybe XT or whatever. but I'm maxed out 1440p 144 fps for the games I play, so what would be the point. Although if someone wants to buy me 1060, b350, 2600 and that team memory I can probably justify a 5600X or 3700X build.

  2. They have been there before but they couldn't keep it up. I went digging in my shed and found a K8 SLI motherboard with some huge ass round blue heatsink. What's in there? A thunderbird? Who knows!

  3. CYRIX is a different x86 platform. 3 companies were licenced to make x86. Intel, AMD and Cyrix. Would be good to see them do something. They were still kicking around for ages due to high efficiency low power consumption but it's been a long time since we heard from them.
