what u guys recommend.??
Been using this since 2014 and it's still going strong. Anker makes some decent stuff.

nice man... does it work well on hard drives as well as optical drives - DVDRW / BRROM/ BRRW
did u order the model with or without the additional adapter.
if you ordered the model without the power adapter- where did u buy the required adapter ??
i read the power adapter output needs to be 12V 2A if u had to buy ur adapter, is ur power adapter the same??

Reliability: AMD platform is an enthusiast platform, and enthusiasts are willing to jump through some hoops to get the most performance per dollar. Intel platform doesn't have those hoops, everything just works out of the box. Didn't have to guess which chipset works with what cpu, didn't need a bios update etc. My client wanted reliability above all else so no over clocking.
Faster single core performance: Intel has better single threaded performance and the software that is planned to be used works better with this configuration.
Cheaper overall platform costs: Intel CPUs do not require ultra fast ram or exotic cooling to overclock to perform. It still wears the single threaded performance crown, and still performs the best in gaming.
System comprises:
Intel Core i5 8400
Gigabyte B360m ds3h motherboard
16gb Crucial 2666mhz memory
860 Evo SSD 500gb
I must thank AMD for providing a product that can challenge Intel and the competition has forced Intel to respond with better products... But Intel still wins for performance out of the box

Hmm nice points I kinda stuck atm between intel and amd..always was an intel user before and I'm thinking to trying amd..just the ryzen stories I'm hearing scaring mehcryotec wrote:kamakazi wrote:1.) Intel platform doesn't have those hoops, everything just works out of the box.

Disagree with the points you brought up kami.
1.) AMD works out of box, so I am not sure what you are referring to here.
2.) I mean you do need to choose the correct chipset for Intel 8th gen CPUs to work so I am not sure how that can be used against AMD when you have to do the same thing for Intel. Maybe the confusion stems from Ryzen 2nd generation which requires a bios update to work on the 1st gen motherboards (B350/X370). If you do not want to do bios updates, then you can get the 2nd gen motherboards (X470/up coming B450). However, you also have to do this for Intel platforms when you wanted to use a newer generation CPU on a older generation motherboard.
3.) The difference in price of memory between a 2666Mhz kit and a 3000/3200 is $5 on Newegg. A cheap B350 for AMD motherboard cost the same as B360 for Intel and can support memory speeds up to 3200 whereas the B360 chipset only supports up to 2666.
Do you know that the cooler than comes with the Ryzen 5 1600/2600/2600x is way better than what comes with the 8400? As a matter of fact, do you know that the stock cooler on the 8700 does not provide enough cooling for CPU intensive loads such that it causes the CPU to thermal throttle?
Regarding OC, there is very little headroom for OC on Ryzen so it is not even recommended on those chips.
As it is right now, I would only recommend the 8400 if you have atleast a GTX 1080 and plan to only game on the system. The reason I bring up the 1080 is because you need a strong GPU to see the differences between the 8400 and its Ryzen 5 counterpart except for a few titles which just favors Intel or prefer stronger IPC. Adobe applications also favor Intel strongly so that is another use case that I would recommend the 8400 for.

1.verify game cache
games library>right click pubg>properties>local files>verify integrity of game files
2.update graphics driver
3.if you have any overclocks try turning it off and then running it
4.check your temps
pubg is grueling on lower end hardware it could also be that the processor just can't handle it you would have to turn everything down to low to get a remotely playable fps

I was looking at something like this for heat dissipation but cant figure what carries the heat to the sinks if its just those solid copper pipes or if there is some kind of liquid in it. Cant see any pump of any sort.
its not for cpu cooling.
The heatpipes are hollow and usually contain a liquid that vaporises easily, like alcohol.nervewrecker wrote:Tuners, I am looking to build something and will be needing some waterblocks and heatsinks. Are these sold locally?

Well I happen to have a few peltier laying around and wanted to try a build that I saw. Its for a cooling system..
Which would you recommend for heat dissipation?
This is just a trial.skylinechild wrote:nervewrecker wrote:Ahhhh, I see.

what you planing on cooling nerve ?
you can get the liquid reservoir and pump to buy amazon for it.
the reservoir and pump should be too expensive just remember copper is better than aluminum but aluminum is cheaper.
you can get 140 mm fans on the cheap from amazon. that would dissipate the heat from the heatsinks to the surroundings.

Wanna see if they can cool my home security system.
Didnt opt for the liquid cooling systems off amazon as they have enough surface contact area for a chip. I do have waterblocks, heatsinks, radiator and pump in my cart.
