Which specific model of AMD Ryzen 7 7000X? CPU cooler used?

I don't have a specific R7 7000X, I chose it because it's the range that supports DDR5 at AMD.
8/16 - 4.5 GHz (Base) 5.4 GHz (Boost)

For cooling, I put a Watercooling : MSI MAG CORELIQUID 240R V2, 240mm

8/16 - 4.5 GHz (Base) 5.4 GHz (Boost)

With that data, then it's actually an AMD Ryzen™ 7 7700X nice one!

Your 5.4 GHz (Boost) is excellent . How much GHX did your other computer get?

Is this PC with high configurations mainly for gaming?

I had a Ryzen 5 2600X or I was blocked at 3.6Ghz in boost

Is this PC with high configurations mainly for gaming?

VM, gaming 1440p

Alright now you can really do those malware tests in high quality! (kidding) you do amazing videos anyway very nice setup!

 

[Kuttz]

Get a faster RAM if possible. Otherwise flawless configuration.

 

[harlan4096]

Probably that RAM can be raised via mobo settings to 6000 Mhz (the "sweet spot" for Ryzem 7000)

Questions from an Acoustic Obsessive- Nice choice with the Be Quiet power supply. Does the fan run as silently as advertised? I was thinking about that one but went with Seasonic instead. Also on the Fractal case- are they using their own fans now (in the past they had Corsair's)? And if so are they running quiet at full power or do they have to be tweaked downward?

Thanks!

fwiw, my digitalstorm came with liquid cooling, worked ok until it didn't. replaced it with hi-tech fan $$$ and been running cool for years. Yours looks very nice! congrats!

PS I also very much like F-Secure SAFE & Voodooshield. Question ref VM. I had, or tried, VS in VMware Workstation win10 Guest and I had issues, which unfortunately I do not recall, and when I aksed Dan he did not want to get into it saying VS is not designed to work correctly in VM. Have you used VS in VM ok? I'm guessing yes since you may have tested it. If VS worked for you in VM, I'll it again. thanks!

VS works great in a VM, sorry I should have clarified. You and I were discussing registering VS in a VM, because it is difficult to obtain unique hardware ids in a VM. The only real issue is if you are going to run VS in a VM, you might have to go into the web management console and delete old devices, so no biggie.

@danb, big thanks!! I now understand what you mean as I've seen "unique hardware ids in a VM" come up after that in another context. I do recall the licensing snafu which was all on me. If I had an issue with VS working correctly in VM, I totally do not recall. Whatever, some VM issues I was having months ago, I have cleaned up. In terms of stability and speed, this VM is indistinguishable from host. I'll install VS here, and send you a message. THANKS!

@simmerskool just a question, does it pay to buy a Yubikey 5 and Yubikey Security Key as a backup? Thanks! I'm sorry @Shadowra use your post to ask @simmerskool I'm out of my mind to buy the Yubikeys.

Not sure how to reply "does it pay to buy a Yubikey..." I bought 2 Yubi 5 because gmail seemed to require 2 to use at google (gmail) the process would not complete (for me) with only 1 key. Is it worth it to use Yubikey. Not that many places use or accept Yubi 2fa. Google / gmail can use other 2fa methods. Probably not worth it given not used by many websites. Is the focus of my reply correct or do you want to restate question. You can PM me.
