theefool Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) This will be my 3rd AMD based computer. First being the Atholon 64 x2, then moved to intel for two builds. Now back to AMD. My most recent AMD build is running a Threadripper 3970x, running esxi. 256 GB ram, 12 TB nvme storage. Now, I'm look at building a possible windows 11 computer. Going with AMD yet again, but I'm a newbie when it comes to AMD. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sVJMht Edit: Main worry, is the cpu, and if I need to buy a different cpu just to update the bios to support the newer cpu.

Sikh Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The 5950x has TPM 2.0. Here's a quick video I found via google.

I don't think so; Gigabyte is advertising it as support 5000 series out of the box. Also you previous build is Windows 11 ready too Edit: The board has to come with a minimum of F30 BIOS to support 5000 series. theefool 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1409552-new-computer-windows-11-ready/#findComment-598659932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want to waste money buying a 2nd chip to update bios. Or, I'd probably just give the cpu away to someone.

Vvo Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) You're Threadripper meets Windows 11's requirements. It's first gen threadripper and first gen ryzen processors that isn't in in MS's list cpu support at this time.

On a side note, decided to switch up the case with a Lian Li pc-o11d-rog. Read some interesting things on my first pick, and chose this instead. I prefer InWin, but decided on Lian Li this time. Previous cases: Current gaming computer is an InWin 909. My Threadripper is in an InWin 925.

theefool Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) The Lian Li case came in, very nice. Items are of course subject to change, but ordered: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4. AMD Ryzen 9 5950x Seasonic PRIME TX-1000 ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero AM4 X570S (was thinking the S was the newer model) Later on, will decide on storage and ram. May keep as is...

theefool Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Looking on that ram thread made me wonder if my Dark Rock Pro 4 will clear the ram. May have to adjust the fan. No idea, until it comes in. Anyway, ordered a couple different types of thermal grease from Grizzly. Ordered Carbonaut and Kryonaut. Ordered ram (Corsair Vengeance RGB pro 3600), if it doesn't fit, then I can always use it on a different build, or just use 2, 64GB may, just may, be enough.

theefool Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Also, ordered two (2) samsung 980 pro 2 TB. Saw the storage usage I'm using on my gaming computer, and decided on lower storage size.

theefool Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Next up is case fans. Hmm... Decent reviews on these: http://www.phanteks.com/PH-F120T30.html https://www.techpowerup.com/review/phanteks-t30-120-fan/ Ordered a few of these, I'll see how they go.

KaitlynD Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 There are a lot of changes that have been made with the stuff that we see. It looks like everything is fine with you since there are changes that can be talked about with the stuff that we see every day and I hope it’s working out with no issues for us soon.
