What the hell... Hello! I'm back too! my "rig" has more or less been untouched since my last post here (built a i5 2500K, then sold it to dad-in-law and reverted back to socket 775, having sold the Q6600, someone gave me a xeon X3360 which dropped straight into my old setup) but thanks to family life has pretty much been dormant since (hey thanks, 2 kids!) having the tower trapped in a room which became the house dumping ground. we we've started to decrapify and I uncovered the old beast, and having had a blast of cash from birthday/christmas and random gift cards from my work (oh new job too BTW... MUCH better ) I yesterday ordered a Ryzen 5 1600 setup!



really looking forward to doing a new build, and can't wait for stuff to arrive.
I had a new thinkpad (Broadwell i5 L450) 2 years ago and that's done me well for my 3D printing and PCB designing needs (long story... I'm at a makerspace now and doing lots of things with raspbery pi's, arduinos, 3D printing, Laser cutting... you know, awesome things!) but i need something meaty to sometimes do a bit of gaming on or maybe run Fusion 360 a bit better than the integrated Broadwell GPU...

edit: hey... where's my sig?
edit2: nevermind, found where to enable sigs

Welcome Back......... liking the sound of the new Ryzen ( Incoming)..what Gfx card you pairing it up with?..... I am considering a Ryzen build for my man Cave PC.... ( currently an A10 - 7800 with a R9-380 its a capable beast but I want more teeth lol...)....... Considering pairing a 1700 with a RX580...was thinking Vega but still a little too expensive...( for a shed at least )

[Mr. Grapes]

Going to have to stick with my dual 6850's for now. Got no budget for upgrading gfx right now, which is just as well since i won't be doing a lot of gaming for the time being...

I've just popped on too to see how everyone is doing.

heyhey!

Hey Oscar et al. The old place isn't as brisk as it once was but it still ticks over.
