/// Overview //This is my build from February/March of this year. The colors are teal & purple and based off my logo for
Cosmic Elegy. My latest upgrade to my main workstation includes a Ryzen 7 2700X, a Sapphire NITRO+ RX Vega 56 I got off ebay for just $275 (@300 with shipping) and I snagged a black Lian-Li PC-011 Dynamic & an ASUS ROG Strix-F X470 from Micro Center. The PSU is a bit of an overkill for this system, but I got the RM1000x for an amazing deal on Amazon. I also got the DeepCool RF120s for an amazing deal on Amazon; 2 5-packs for $35 each.
/// Uses // This build is my main workstation I use full time for work. I run Ableton Live 10.1, the iZotope Music Production Suite, Davinci Resolve, the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator mainly), DMXIS, Show Buddy, Handbrake, dbpoweramp, Voicemeeter, OBS & more. Plus I use this machine as well to power triple monitors and my GT Omega / Fanatec sim-racing setup (CSL Elite & CSR Elite Pedals) in iRacing, Assetto Corsa & Automobilista.
/// Settings //I have PBO on the 2700x at PPT 999, TDC 999, EDC 185 with a .05 offset to keep the voltage around 1.35-1.4 idle and around 1.47-1.48 spikes for a few seconds during heavy workloads. For gaming I'll use Ryzen Master to change the EDC to around 160 to lessen the voltage spikes when gaming for a long session. I have the RAM set to 3066 15-17-17-36 at 1.35mv. That's the highest I could get with 4 dimms. With just 16GB in 2 dimms it will go to 3466 at the same timings at 1.375mv. The Vega 56 has been flashed to the NITRO+ V64 bios and I have power play table mods installed. I have a -100mv undervolt set with the highest P-state set to 1707 MHz but that actually means about 1680 MHz while gaming. The memory I can only push 900 MHz before I start to see artifacting with the V64 bios (I think the 64 bios hurts the memory because it's micron and not samsung).
/// Benchmarks //My highest Cinebench R15 score was 1994; sooo close to 2000 but I think I'll need some better memory to be able to break 2k. In Superposition 1080p High my top score is (
10501. 1080p Medium is
14781. I'll update with some FireStrike and Time Spy scores.
