It should be. It's the MSI Core Frozr L. It did a great job when I OC'd the 2600, never really getting close to 80C in regular use. Granted, that is a 65W TDP part compared to 105W for the 5800X. But I have plenty of other fans and good ventilation.And your existing HSF is up to the task?

I'm getting fiber on wednesday! Woooo
It got pushed back to a day to be determined due to construction delays in the splicing! BooooI'm getting fiber on wednesday! Woooo
Hehehehehe, splicing delays.It got pushed back to a day to be determined due to construction delays in the splicing! Boooo
Yeah - I'm not going to be surprised about that - it's expected behavior. I work with in the Virtual Desktop/End User Compute world (Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops/VMWare Horizon) and see that type of thing a lot. We have to statically set the Windows Cache size for 'gold image-booted' VMs - if you let Windows manage it, it eventually just fills the separate cache drive (that is also there for event logs/etc to remain after reboots), freezing and/or BSOD-ing the VM.Not to mention you won't have to swap to disk as much, too.
Don't be surprised if you still see a lot of RAM in use even after your upgrade. Windows will try to cache files in RAM rather than having to touch the disk as often, so it's entirely possible you'll see your RAM still be pretty full, it'll just be full of cache rather than your programs.

I recently helped a user migrate from an older machine with a 256GB drive to a new one with a 1TB drive. It kept complaining the migration couldn't be completed due to lack of space on the destination drive, and when I finally convinced the source to tally up how much data was being moved, it reported the source had 3.35PB of content (yes, I said PB). Turned out there was a Sims folder in the prefs that said it contained 120MB of files taking up 3.3PB on disk so we deleted that sucker and everything was fine. Also he says he has never played the Sims, so there was that mystery as well but whatever.Other fun things from my IT world:
20 gig sounds amazing... but to be honest, nothing I want to connect to right NOW can even do 1 gig. Even ftp from my seedbox gets me, at best, 45 mbit.

Can’t you set up DynDNS?if I want port forwarding I have to get a static IP.
I already do. DNS resolution has nothing to do with it. The problem is CGNAT. This ISP does not put any of its DHCP customers on real, public IPs. They're all behind a router sharing one IP, even before it gets to their fiber modem.Can’t you set up DynDNS?

They had to burn away some of the trees blocking their path first, apparently.They're installing fiber up here as we speak. Be on a gigabit u/d before summer is out.
There were lots of potential stumbling blocks along the way.What, you replaced a 1060. You probably didn't even have to change the drivers at all.
Also I bet Dave's diving looks extra sharp now on that 1080.

SO much could have gone wrong.
