Dave, awesome benchmarks on the new machine. Did you stop/uninstall any of the services on the old PC so it was as close to the new PC as possible. Am thinking if you are like me you've installed mucho software/drivers for all sorts over the years.
There's always a few issues eh Dave. I had issues with a fleck of foil in my PC causing issues. I get the general impression you're not short on processing power.
Hope yours survived the fleck of foil!!! I think you are right on the processing power (without going mental $ on the new threadrippers!), this thing is a power house. Even with it being a touch down on performance due to the memory speed constraints, I am really pleased with it compared to my previous PC, just shows what 5 years in tech advances can do.
Hi Robin, That's right, I think it defaults to 4300 with XMP off, so in the RAM speed just set it to 4800. I did try higher but wasn't stable. It might just needed a touch more voltage as the default is lower, but just not messed around with it too much yet. Was happy just having it running after trying the XMP options. It might have been ok with XMP 1 selected, and then downclock the RAM, but haven't pushed it yet.

Yeh, I shutdown a lot of stuff. I've also been uninstalling a lot of old stuff that I haven't been using.
Nice. I used to build PC's back in the day.
Thanks, 5 years since my last build, so it was time for a refresh! And much overdue, what a difference it makes.....

Hi Dave,
When you mentioned you down clocked the ram to 4800, I take it that you disabled XMP in the Bios to achieve this, is this correct?
