New details in my signature. With the Ryzen 9000 series on the horizon, and my son needing a new computer...I gave him my secondary machine (EVGA X299 FTW K with i7 7820X) and built the new one. A lot of RGB which now lights up the room...The Corsair 360 MM AIO tames the 7800X3D as well. Idle temps around 45C and load never gets hotter than 75C. Overall, I figured the timing is OK. MSI is promising new bios to accommodate the next gen CPU's and I will most likely go back to either 12 or 16 cores. Right now...I have been gaming more...and I am seeing nice increases in FPS with the X3D cache. I will take some photos soon and post more in this thread.
