NZXT Nemesis Elite Stream Machine w/AMD 3700X & Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) HOLD UP!!!

NZXT Nemesis Elite. I just couldn't put this New AMD 3700X CPU into this old case. It was running perfectly with valid licenses, was too dirty and was very nostalgic. I've had the case since 2004 or 2005. In the video I look at three budge cases so I don't have to tear apart this working computer. Look further below. I list out the parts I'm going to use in this streaming PC after thinking about it some.
DISCLAIMER. No one but myself paid for any of these products; I paid for everything in this video with my own own USD$ but the below links are mostly affiliate links.
Asus TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Super OC 6GB Edition GPU - https://amzn.to/2DZSaAZ I couldn't find a lot of reviews on this particular model. Amazon starts shipping them on 12/10/2019 at $229. Got it it for the 6GB of faster DDR6. I just couldn't handle getting the 4GB only, 1650 Super.

Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master F10 BIOS. All AMD's & 1usmus' Settings Put Into One Menu
- Details
- Written by: RAINFIRE
These Gigabyte Aorus X570 Motherboard BIOS settings should be the same or very, very similar on all Gigabyte Aorus X570 F10 BIOS'. These settings are recommended from AMD via Robert Hallock and 1usmus, an overclocker who wrote the Ryzen DRAM Calculator. We are not covering all overclocking, but we are covering the main settings AMD recommends that will let the Ryzen 3000 CPU's overclock the best on their own. They are all in one menu in the F10 BIOS release for all Gigabyte X570 mobo's.
Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/IntenseWebs
*** For Overclocking settings, use only the Tweaker and AMD CBS Overclocking menus. *** It is not recommended to use the 'AMD Overclocking' menu right below the other menu. AMD says just use their Power Plans in Windows or you may use 1usmus' Power Plan. All these setting are now in the Advanced CPU Settings Menu - CHANGE THESE:
AMD Cool and Quiet - Enabled
Global C-state Control = Enabled
Power Supply Idle Control = Low Current Idle
PPC Adjustment = PState 0
CPPC = Enabled
CPPC Preferred Cores = Enabled

LOW COST PC Watercooling G1/4" 14mm Parts Explained - Best Deal & Standardized
- Details
- Written by: RAINFIRE
Why Pay More? This G1/4" fitting size and 14mm tubing and connectors is the most common size of watercooling for computers. The ones we look at here are pretty much standard from different vendors and the PRICES ARE MUCH LOWER. There are all sorts of name brands and sizes. Vendors and Big Youtubers try to lock you in to using their custom systems. That's fine if you want to spend $500-$1,000 for watercooling parts (I can think of one huge youtuber specifically). I DON'T WANT TO PAY A $1,000! So check out these, lowest cost, great performing, most standardized size, watercooling parts. If you want to pay more, go watch those big name youtubers and their big name sponsors. All the parts I show are available for low prices below from multiple vendors.

SJCAM SJ4000 AIR 4K/30FPS HD Action Camera. It's pretty good for $50. It can be found for cheaper than that. I'll use it for those times when it doesn't make sense to break out the bigger Panasonic Lumix G85 camera. the SJ4000 Air doesn't have image stabilization, but you can see I threw in my truck's dash and went to the gas station. It did pretty good. I'm happy with it for the prices.

UPDATE: Thanksgiving, Nov. 28, 2019. Microsoft has opened a case and is investigating the formula decrease in speed since Oct. 2019.
UPDATE: Nov. 2nd, 2019 - It appears one of Microsoft's Update to either Windows or Office has slowed down the formulas by at least 50%. We are investigating.
This is a Real World CPU Performance Checker (Excel). This is about as real as it gets. This is a real formula businesses uses to calculate unique orders, accounts, whatever by different business lines. It uses as many cores and as much memory as it can. There are 13 unique Business lines within the one company. There are 50,000 Unique accounts randomized into 250,000 rows along with the line of business to which they belong. The formula below calculates all rows and keeps results from row above it, so the lower it gets, the more it has to track and formula time increase as it goes further.
