I mean in highly cpu intencive things or where ur cpu is a bottleneck OC will help. Sometimes a little sometimes alot it also depends high big ur OC is. Where my OC was nearly running 1ghz higher than Turbo i did see improvements. I get wat ur saying but its still nice and why not xD. But yeah it is mainly fun now or for at least most people dont need it.
That is a chunky heat sponge.
I refuse to call heatspreaders with minimal fins a heatsink. 
Fair enough. This is literally a unsophisticated brute force approach to heat dissipation

I prefer a utilitarian looking heat spreader, none of that crazy shaped / angled stuff you see now a days.
Yep, DRAM is a bitch. Have to cycle (refresh) the cell and recharge (or not) the capacitor…
For comparison, SRAM:

IF, as in big if, true (WCCF Tech, so shovel of salt), then Nvidia Ampere may turn into a meme of “hot and loud”.
TSMC is at least a year ahead of Samsung (which is why TSMC has lead times of about 8 months on small batches, and Nvidia needs ALL the capacity). Samsung 8nm EUV is cheap(er), and underwhelming (= not as mature as one would expect).
My 2 cents: Temper your expectations, RTX 3000-series will be warm
no wonder the stock coolers are so beefy. I cant wait for the monsters that are the evga SC cards or even the kingpin models

new motherboard installed I managed a OC of .1 ghz stable over stock boost clocks which is about what I expected.
no real reason to upgrade from that either. 8 cores / 16 threads will last a long long time now!
This AMD CPU is $70 off if anyone is looking at an AMD build right now:

thats a great deal
talking about computers, there’s a new Threadripper CPU coming out with 8 channel RAM that caps at 2TB vs the 256GB the current models max out at. it’s expected to come out on one of those xx80 chipsets that had been spotted a while back.
rumored, in 2019, without ever getting confirmed
the chipset isn’t confirmed…the new CPU is. and being the TW40 isn’t octo channel, the new xx80 likely are. makes sense too…40 for quad channel and 80 for octo channel, LoL:
well, the Threadripper refresh details have leaked:
yup saw it in wan show. Its the middle ground between normal threadripper and EPYC. To sum it up easilly.

indeed. I wonder if they’ll bring official / supported ECC support. all Ryzen spec say they support ECC, but testing proves it to be inconclusive / inconsistent.
Apparently so for the new Pro series
