That just limits me to 1080p on youtube.
What would help is VP9 decoding on the GPU which the 1000 and 2000 series has. Why AMD skimped out on this for their flagship product I dunno.
I'm pulling this right out of my ass but I swear I remember something about Turing being the first GPU architecture with hardware VP9 decode
No, they don't. I tested this with a Vega 56 already and it's the same thing as my R9 200.
They have a hybrid solution which does jack for the i5-2500k.
It looks to me like your system just isn't up to the task of 4K 60fps regardless of drivers and decoding and all that?
Works fine on a 1060, but okay.
Chrome, different CPU but only around a 30% performance increase. It's also not turboing, so this is at the base 2.8Ghz:

interesting. I found the Vega whitepaper and you seem to be correct.

Of course since it's a whitepaper it doesn't go into more detail. Oddly, the Raven Ridge implementation of Vega seems to have full VP9 decode, while dedicated Vega has this weird hybrid implementation.
Raven Ridge Vega uses UVD 7+ (As opposed to Vega 10, which has UVD 7), which they now call VCN 1, has AVC/HEVC encode (à la Quick Sync), and MPEG4+AVC/HEVC/VP9 decode.
I don't know why they didn't include VP9 decode, it's not anything new, maybe they just traded off the silicon for it. Obviously they needed it for low-power APU devices, and had some silicon budget for it.
Either way, researching this just reminds me how much I hate how much AMD has fucked their naming schemes.

And that's just the back-end naming garbage, the consumer-facing stuff is in shambles too IMHO.
You have bursts up to 50% usage on that CPU. It's a six core CPU with twelve threads. The i5-2500k is a 4 core CPU with no hyperthreading. There is no way it would play that.
Trust me it was pegged at 100% usage and tons of stutter/freezing.
Bumps to 50% are from background tasks (which is why I switch to detail view, showing ~25% CPU usage by the player itself). The issue is largely chrome, it can't even do color space conversions correctly, so I wouldn't trust it with HDR video anyway.
All it took was an email to Jeff Bezos and they finally charged my account, unlocked my account, and the order is being processed now.
I was thinking of cramming my current PC build into this case.

Mainly because I wanted a console-ish form factor. Then I also need an SFX form factor power supply, so I was thinking this because it was 800W

Two Corsair H-75 AIO water coolers, a 2018 edition on my CPU and with a Kraken G-12 GPU bracket, an older H-75 that has a circular pump shape.
I was thinking maybe throw in an M.2 drive and an I5-7600K or higher too.
Well that's half the reason I posted it, I wasn't sure if that was overkill or not
I guess a 600W from Corsair would do then.

Honestly I was gonna kind of wing it, see if I could do it without modifying the case, but if it comes down to it I could drill some holes if all I need to do is space the fans apart because the radiators.
Hi all,
Well, I wanted to make this post sometime this week, so let it be today. It's a gloomy saturday, it's raining outside, I'm a bit tired and got 6 beers in the fridge, so I'm ready. Special thanks to AtomicSans for the help and support.
Anyways, as some of you might know few weeks back I asked for help with my new PC build. And lo and behold, here it is:

This is my first build. I think I managed the cables well?
Anyways, I'm pretty happy with it, but for some reason I don't wanna be near it at all. Maybe I just need to get used to it. Whole thing looks like a Blade Runner scene.
The GPU is massive, and it's build quality is amazing. RGB ram blew me my mind away lol, I might get annoyed by them, but we'll see. Everything works so fast. CS:GO runs at 200+ FPS.
Few things I've noticed / want to complain about:
There's the "new pc" smell. It will probably go away.
What's happening with the temps here? I currently took the glass panel off, so temps are lower, but basically they drop to 35C or so and then jump back up to 45C. It's kind of annoying, why is it happening?
This was part kind of funny. So basically the case has 2 special slots for HDDs. I've always seen that HDDs needed to be screwed in from the sides, but in this case they needed to be screwed in from the bottom... with some special kind of screws... which were not included (and you can't buy them anywhere). Anyways, I engineered something up and it holds, so whatever, I guess... I probably should write them (Fractal Design) a message about this, lol.
Not a lot of space to work with the PSU slots once you insert it.
I also wanted to ask what are some things I should do with a fresh install of Windows?
Remove/block spyware/bloatware shit.
I remember that SSDs needed to be optimized, but maybe that's not the case anymore?
Drivers?
Overall I am happy with this build. Not sure if I'll keep it on the table forever, but eh, we'll see.
So yeah, that's kind of it, for now. Thank you all.
(if you want to know the specs, lemme know)

You need to raise your CPU cooler's minimum RPM in your BIOS. What's happening is that your minimum RPM is too low, so your CPU's temperature climbs until it hits the next plateau in the fan curve, which causes the temperature to go back down and that loops forever. Excessive thermal fluctuation can age your thermal paste more rapidly than it would otherwise so you should raise the minimum RPM a bit. Your idle temperature should be pretty much constant.
What temps are you talking about exactly? CPU, GPU or something else?
Some cases have toolless drive trays where they're basically held in by plastic clips, but judging by those pictures from the manual you'll need to screw them in, yeah. It's weird that you don't have the screws, pretty much every case includes the appropriate ones in the package. Might've been some kind of a packaging mixup.
You can always tweak the fan speeds if you feel like they're too loud and your components aren't getting too hot. If you're really anal about noise, you can always get a high-end cpu cooler and better case fans. If the gpu fans are loud it's a tougher situation because the only real option is to switch to a watercooled setup.
Yeah the 100C CPU looks a bit worrying. There's many mistakes people tend to make when installing coolers for the first time. If there's any plastic foil covering the cooler, you need to remove it before installing. Then make sure to apply thermal paste on the cpu (if it doesn't already come preapplied on the cooler), then press the cooler down flat on the cpu and tighten all the screws equally to make sure the thermal paste spreads equally and it's making good contact. If you messed something up there you might need to do it all over again.
Was talking about the CPU temps.
Also, it's not 100C. I've read that Speccy just shows false info. I included a picture of Ryzen Master (basically AMD's monitoring app or whatever). And temps are normal (CPU is around 50C).
Ryzen Master is showing 40C in the screenshot. Speccy is well known to not report temperatures correctly. On my old Ivy Bridge PC, Speccy always reported my CPU's temperature as being about 40C higher than the real temperature was, and for some reason on my ThinkPad T430, Speccy thinks the CPU temperature is sub-zero sometimes.
Wait, nevermind that I just saw the Ryzen Master shot where it's boosting to 4,25GHz and staying at 40C, those are actually great temps. Speccy in general is meant more as a simple tool for people who don't know much about PCs to figure out what hardware they have, it's not really useful for anything more than that. Probably just a bug, I'd trust AMD's own monitoring tools over that any day. If you want to get hardcore into all the sensor readings and details of your hardware, get HWinfo instead.
I've found CPU-Z to be infinitely more useful than Speccy is, it's way better at digging up info on your RAM in particular
Yeah, when you have awesome tools that regularly get updated to support new hardware like CPU-Z, GPU-Z, HWinfo, MSI Afterburner + RTSS and even AMD's own Wattman/Ryzen Master, there's no reason to use something like Speccy. Just say goodbye to it and never look back.
SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen3. X4, NVMe 1.3 64L V
$230 for a 1TB M.2 SSD seems like a deal, thought it might interest someone else here.
My 2011 parts had a very distinct smell, and still do to this day. Probably will give me cancer.
My 2016 and 2018 parts had a very slight smell, but that went away pretty quick, and is only noticable when components get hot (mmm the nice smell of warm computer).
Ryzen stock heatsinks are pretty good, but they're not on the same level as $30+ ones in terms of silence, that's for sure.
It's an upgrade you can make later down the line when you have money to throw at it.
Yeah, I only use Speccy to see a summary of my specs.
Kinda looking at getting this one, really like the look and design of it, thanks, hopefully all goes well with me haha
Even then it's not that great. My 1070 8GB gets reported as 4GB in Speccy but GPU-Z displays the correct information.
I thought the 2080 ti thing was a myth. Whoops. Just installed windows 10 and drivers, reboot, bam.
