Computer BIOS screen after first boot up
Recently, I’ve managed to assemble every single part to get this computer up and running. It took me over a month to get this completed and surprisingly, I was WAY under budget. I’ve spent a total of $1,004.34 after taxes & shipping for everything. From the CPU to the DVD drive, it was a costly project. After assembling the computer, I powered it on and it successfully booted to the BIOS where it detects the Ryzen 5800X CPU and 32 GB of RAM. Along with many other components making it work and outputting a display on my TV where I tested it for the first time. After turning it on, I haven’t done anything with the BIOS settings since I didn’t have access to a keyboard or mouse after powering it on. Not only that, if you look at the photo above, you see that the RAM clock speed is at 2133 MHz instead of 3200 MHz. That’s because I need to turn on “XMP” to enable higher clock speeds to get the most out of my RAM.
Since this computer is almost ready to go, I’ll replace my current gaming rig with the new one by next week as I need to copy data from my semi-unreliable hard drive to the new one. That’s probably going to take me about a day to do this as there’s at least 1.8 TB of data to copy from the WD drive to the 4TB Toshiba X300 HDD. I also got to do the same thing for my SSDs as I can’t boot up Windows at all after cloning all of my data. It just blue screens repeatedly because it doesn’t recognize these new changes on my new computer. I formatted everything on the new OS drive and installed Windows 10. Now, I have to copy all of the old drive’s data to the new one without including Windows 7. Once that is done, all operations like gaming and video editing will be done on the new computer.
With a new processor that’s like 4x powerful than my Xeon W3690, I’m going to see significant changes with rendering my videos and loading a ton of cars in BeamNG.drive. I’ll post a benchmarking and comparison video to give you guys a look at how much of a difference my old computer performance compared to my new one. For those tests, I’ll run a few benchmarking programs like Cinebench R15 and 3DMark. Then, I’ll do a couple of video rendering tests to compare the difference between how much time it takes to render a 1080P 60FPS video on VEGAS Pro 17. Finally, I’ll get on BeamNG.drive to test the CPU by spawning in several cars and see how each computer behaves in those environments. Anyways, I’m excited to make the switch and that’ll happen within the next week!
