TL;DR on the 3600XT cpu in the title/thumbnail

$100 for the letter…

Sad news. I like my MSI pro carbon very much.

so glad I got my 3600x $100 below msrp on black friday last year makes the 3600xt not hurt at all being a cheaper slightly higher performing chip

I am afraid you misunderstand.
It costs 100 more than the 3600, for less than 5% performance increase.

ah its actually the same price a 3600x and about $29 CAD more than a 3600 over here

Yes it seems alot but they havnt done an nvidia by charging more they just dropped the other cpus if im correct? Im sure thats wat they did.

From Germanys biggest computer parts retailer:

That price difference for 1 to 5% gains, is bullshit.

Also: At 260€, but another 25€ on top and get yourself two extra cores in the form of the 3700x


Amazon, I 100% agree but wasnt £250 the original price? of the 3600x

Yes, however the price drop to the 200-ish area happened 6 months ago.

Honestly, it will sell I can bet and this just means u can get a 3600 cheap af and just OC it to XT specs xD.

I so need a new pc im so fucking sick of this one XD. I do not understand why it does this. Constand Ram issues reformated and still happens.


Those processes do NOT add up to fucking 40gb xD and it doesnt even seem to use my other 4gb of ram but then the Commited fills up and my pc has a hissy fit.

my go-to mobo for simple builds is whatever the latest version of Asus CSM board is, for the CPU the customer wants.

I try to stay away from gaming boards as much as I can for even higher end graphics workstations.

I am a real fan of Asrock…solid products for the price, and very little bloody RGB. I hate RGB…

I love the look of some of the asrock boards especially the Taichi but ive heard that asrock generally have more experimental things on their boards and can be a lil more buggy than most but never really tried one.

well, my employment is PC’s…and while I don’t sell Asrock boards (resellers in Canada are restricted to just NewEgg and Amazon I believe), I follow all reviews with anticipation. everyone is pretty solid now.

I really miss DFI though…loved their Infinity boards. definitely the best there was when they were being made.

:stuck_out_tongue: yeah Ive always looked but ive always just kinda gone for asus xD. Maybe my next build ill try an asrock one. And yeah not too sure on DFI but i remember when boards used to advitise they could SLI haha. Still have an M2N SLI DELUXE board haha. Thing also had Dual ethernet ports cos why not.

do you remember Soltek? I had 3 NF2 boards get replaced because of that swollen capacitor issue that brought down Abit.

“Committed” is just what Windows tells programs what they can get, including pagefile.

Because of the workloads I run, I limited page file size to 2000MB.
Some other tweaks:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies NtfsDisableCompression = 1 - prevents windows from running compression and helps with VM performance

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management ClearPageFileAtShutDown = 1 - clears page file on shutdown, else you get the commit of 40GB over time, and the pagefile of doom if windows ever feels like it
