You generally don't want to exceed 3800 MT/s for RAM.

Once you pass the 3866 MT/s barrier, you'll receive a 2:1 RAM vs IF (Infinity Fabric) clock penalty.

If you leave the RAM underneath the 3866 MT/s setting, it'll still reeive the 1:1 RAM vs IF clock bonus.

So set your ram to 3800 @ most, and lower all the other timings as far as possible while maintaining stability and not increasing voltage.

That's how you achieve the fastest possible setup while maintaining reliability.

Im not familiar with AMDs terms since Ive been entirely intel up until now. What is zen3 and zen3+?
why wouldnt there be a zen4 on socket AM5 cpus?

Zen 4 will be on the new AM5 socket along with DDR5

Zen 3 is currently on the AM4 socket and Zen3+ is rumored to get a few minor performance improvements while being on AM4 socket as well.

If you wait patiently, you'll be rewarded with the CPU of your choice.

Zen is the CPU architecture used.

Ryzen is the public product Model name / Family name.

Ergo Ryzen 1000 series, Ryzen 2000 series, etc.

Maybe I could get all the parts I want now but cheap out on the cpu. Since its all socket AM4 I could literally just upgrade the CPU and nothing else later. But a ryzen 3000 series is still 300-500 bucks which is a lot for a temporary cpu...

That's wasting your money, don't do that.

AM4 is the end of the road for Zen 3.

Zen 4 is going to be on AM5, and there are rumors of a Zen3+ coming as a interim solution before Zen4.

So just be patient, trust me, it'll be worth it.

You'll get your Zen3 or Zen3+ CPU in a few months when things calm down.

Ray tracing absolutely is worth it, especially since dlss does such a good job of offsetting the performance differential. RTX absolutely transforms Cyberpunk 2077, and games like Control are so much better with it.

But for people who play online, they're going to turn off RT because of the FPS hit.

And plenty of folks play CP2077 & Control without it just fine.

You see how Spiderman: Miles Morales implemented RT on the PS5, that's the level of RT I expect this generation of consoles & games to use at most. Anything beyond that won't really matter since alot of games target Consoles first and are working on AMD hardware.

Only select games are nVIDIA RTX sponsered, so that's going to be a limited selection in the grand scheme of games.

So if you're that loyal to nVIDIA, go right on ahead and buy their cards.

The rest of us won't care and will just enjoy whatever cards we get, even if it's AMD.

I hate to be the contrarian here, but I honestly think the latest Radeon cards are overpriced relative to the features they lack.

Nvidia is clearly scoring an own goal. They should have completely dominated this GPU cycle.

Most people don't care or think RayTracing is worth it this gen.

Remember when 3DFX VooDoo was launched and 3D Rasterization was a brand new thing?

This is how early we are in the Real Time RT feature set.

It's going to be 20+ years before Real Time RT will be performant and common.

Anything else, is just a nice to have and not a big "Decision Maker" IMO.

Then buy that when it's available, but realistically, this generation of GPU's is going to extend the normal 18 month GPU life cycle by another year or so due to COVID.

So don't expect the 7000 series to be here too soon.

This way EVERYBODY's candidate that received votes will go into the Executive Council with that proportional voting power.

Basically every game just runs at whatever frame rate cap it had, essentially no drops whatsoever. Games with dynamic resolution scaling simply stay at the top value. Games with uncapped frame rates default to 60 frames per second and just stay there. It's just awesome, because it turned what was essentially a pretty mediocre launch window into an excellent time to go back and play last gen games in a much better way.

The fact that last generation, both Sony & MS picked severely under powered hardware from the get go, helps make this generations back compat better due to the performance gap.

Living as a transgender person in Iran
Once the transition is made, many are forced to break ties with their families, friends, and all of the people who they knew before. Many move to other cities to start new lives, and are often faced with homelessness and forced into sex work to support themselves.
Additionally, adopting the norms of their legal gender can be another major adjustment in Iran, where men and women are separated in almost every aspect of life, including public transportation and classrooms.
"You should imagine that [after] you change your sex, you go to another society which is totally foreign for you, totally new for you, and you have to deal with that," says Amin. "You have lived as a woman all of your life, and now you are a man and you have to do all the things that a man did before."
"Even after the surgery, you must act as if you are not transgender," says Amin.
For Arya, going through the surgery meant he would have to let go of his family, too. His parents felt that his transition would be shameful if other relatives knew. "One of the main things that my family told me, is that if I went through the surgery, 'We are going to say that something happened to you,'" says Arya. "You cannot have any relationship with anyone from your past life."
He thought, "So I'm going to go through my future without any support, without any love, without the people that I knew before."
This process of starting a new life also makes it difficult to maintain data on what happens to people once they transition.
"We don't have any statistics about how they feel after the operation because most people will be lost in other cities," says Amin. "They don't want to show their history. They don't want anything to do with the people they had a connection with before."

A new beginning
Arya left Iran three years ago. He first moved to Portugal and now lives in Berlin. He started his social transition, or the process of making others aware of his gender identity, in September of last year, and his medical transition in March. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, he has had to put the medical portion of his transition on hold for the time being.
In Europe, he says he has found a new life and a sense of freedom that he didn't have in Iran.
"I am free to be myself. I am free to tell other people how I feel. I am free to do something for my friends who are in the same situation inside the country," he said. "It's like living a dream."

Show us their policies on the transgender population

How Iran's anti-LGBT policies put transgender people at risk published on 2020/04-28
https://www.dw.com/en/how-irans-anti-lgbt-policies-put-transgender-people-at-risk/a-53270136

Despite repressive laws against homosexuality, gender reassignment surgery remains legal in Iran. But Iranians who seek sex change operations are faced with a harsh approval process and a high risk of botched surgeries.
When Arya came out as transgender, his family immediately rejected the idea. "They did not accept that I was trans," says Arya, who wishes to remain anonymous. "They told me, 'Because you were born as a girl, you need to live as a girl.'"
Arya, 38, who identifies as a gender non-binary person, came out to his family in Tehran, Iran's capital, when he was 25, and spent two years seeking approval for a sex change operation.
Despite repressive anti-LGBT laws, gender reassignment surgery remains legal in Iran. However, the path to getting legal approval to transition is fraught with humiliating procedures, including virginity tests, court trials, extensive questioning and mandatory counseling.
Read more: How the coronavirus has altered Iranians' view of faith
Even after people get through the surgery and are legally able to change their sex on their identity cards, many are left without families, homes and work, while others face lasting physical damage from the procedure itself.
The process
"Your rights will be violated before, during and after the surgery," says Shadi Amin, the director of 6rang, an organization that helps LGBT people in Iran. Approval often takes around one to two years, but can take much longer than that in some cases.
"When the argument went on and on, they brought me to the psychologist, which was the first step," says Arya.
Early on in the process, Arya says he was handed a questionnaire with a long list of questions, including: "Imagine that you are in a room and inside that room there is a fire starting, and you need to save your mom or a bunch of cats, which one do you choose?" and "Would you describe yourself as a circle, a triangle or a square?"
Based on these questions, he says, psychologists began to assess whether Arya was truly transgender or whether it was "just a phase."
Others, says Amin, are subjected to virginity tests, which are, "for a lot of them, a painful procedure."
"If you are not a virgin anymore and you are not married, it will be a problem."
Additionally, those going through the process have to have a family member accompanying them at all times, which only added to Arya's stress, as his mother was with him during each session. "So you need to go through public therapy, and then after years and years of that you need to go through the court process, and after that you need to go through the surgery," says Arya.

A medical risk
Despite the years spent in counseling and court sessions to obtain legal permission to have the surgery and reassign his gender identity, Arya changed his mind about the procedure when he saw the aftermath of other operations.
As sex change surgeries are often conducted by unqualified doctors, the end results can leave patients not just with scars, but also with lifelong injuries. "They have damages because most of the doctors are not specialists on transsexual issues. Most of the doctors are beauty surgeons," says Amin.
"In some cases, they do the entire surgery in one day." Afterwards, many people do not have enough money to pay to stay and recover in the hospital, and many do not have homes to go back to.
"That is the reason for two deaths that we could report," says Amin. "The person is there in a hostel and is dead because of the bleeding after the operation."
In addition to living with the results of botched surgeries, some people face difficulties as a result of a misuse of hormone therapy. While some patients administer their own hormones without the supervision of a doctor, many of the surgeons are also not well versed in how to administer the therapy, according to Amin.
"A lot of people who want to do the hormone therapy, they buy it from the black market, and they use it in overdoses because they want to have a faster change," says Amin. "A lot of them have high blood pressure, heart problems, kidney problems, and when you see them, you can really immediately know that this person is not healthy anymore."
The visual results of the surgery are also often far different from what the person may have envisioned. Arya not only feared for the way he would look afterwards, but also for the health problems that could ensue.
"There are a lot of pains after the surgery, lots of unwanted outcomes. You can't have sex after that because you are in pain, you have infections. You don't feel comfortable getting naked in front of people because you have lots of scars."
"When I saw the results of the surgery, I realized that I don't want to do that. I can't accept this," says Arya. "So I decided to just live as a girl."

Transitioning as a matter of life or death
While Arya chose to pursue a sex change in Iran due to his gender identity, others, who do not feel as if they are transgender often apply for the surgery so that they don't have to live in fear of being hanged, imprisoned or lashed for homosexuality.
"The sex change process is also a way of cleansing homosexuality in Iran," says Amin. "You have to change your sex or you have to change your sexual orientation."
Although there is no direct method of forcing homosexual people to apply for transitions, Amin says that social and familial pressure, combined with a fear of death, are enough to push people to transition.
"They medicalize the transsexuality issue. They say that transsexuality can be cured by sex change operations, but the homosexuals, they are immoral and unhuman," she says.
For many, going through the transition is the only way that they can legally live with their partner without fearing for their lives.
"That's why when they know that they have no rights as a homosexual, and they want to live with their partner, the only way they have to do this is by undergoing sex change surgery."

Funny thing about Iran...

Iran defends execution of gay people article published on 2019/12-06
https://www.dw.com/en/iran-defends-execution-of-gay-people/a-49144899

The US on Wednesday accused Iran of violating fundamental human rights after Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif endorsed the execution of gay people.
Zarif defended his country's draconian policies at a joint press conference with German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas in Tehran on Monday.
A reporter from German tabloid Bild asked: "Why are homosexuals executed in Iran because of their sexual orientation?"
He responded: "Our society has moral principles. And we live according to these principles. These are moral principles concerning the behavior of people in general. And that means that the law is respected and the law is obeyed," after railing against human rights violations by the US and Israel.
Maas, who was in Iran to negotiate the continuation of the nuclear deal, largely ignored the issue at the time.
Read more: Amnesty International reports global drop in executions
Shadi Amin, an Iranian writer and activist who now lives in Germany, told DW-Farsi that she was "outraged" by the Iranian foreign minister's comments. "Humiliation, repression and sexual harassment of a particular social group should be viewed critically and prohibited by law," Amin said.
"Violating LGBT rights under the guise of 'moral principles' shows that Zarif doesn't respect human rights. LGBT rights are human rights. Iran must not violate them by giving religious or cultural reasons," she said. "New laws have made societies aware of the differences and accept them."
"Many homosexuals tell us of abuse, torture and threats faced by their families and friends. As long as the country's laws do not change, the situation of homosexuals in Iran will not improve," said Amin.
Inhuman and unacceptable
The German Foreign Ministry's Michael Roth later clarified to Bild: "LGBTI rights are human rights. And they have always been. Everywhere. No religious, cultural or ethnic tradition justifies state persecution, especially the execution of homosexuals. In Iran and seven other countries worldwide, homosexuals face the death penalty. That is inhuman and completely unacceptable."
His comments came after Maas was criticized by German politicians for not addressing the issue at the time.
The US ambassador to Germany and the country's most senior openly-gay official, Richard Grenell, on Wednesday slammed Iran for its position in comments to German and Israeli media.
"The Iranian regime has violated basic principles of the United Nations," he told the German Press Agency (DPA).
"UN members should honor (the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights) if they want to be members at all. The criminalization of homosexuality plainly violates this declaration."
Homosexuality violates Islamic Law in Iran and can be punishable by death. Several thousand people have been executed for homosexuality since the 1979 Islamic revolution, according to some rights activists.

I definitely agree with this. The Electoral College is itself not a bad idea but letting small margins dictate an entire states voting skew has got to go. Its an amazing disenfranchiser where people end up feeling like they live in the wrong state for their political leanings (NorCal basically has no voice compared to LA alone).The Electoral system should try to reflect the peoples will in some way. Certain states do split electoral voting (I think its only Maine and Nebraska) but even then I dont really like either system (but if I were to choose, Maine seems to have the closest to what Id like to see nationwide).

I concur with you. In this day and age, NorCal really needs to divorce from the parts of CA they don't like.

We can all be adults and just be different states and seperate and go our own way.

Some cities should just literally split off into their own city state as well.

Portland can literally be it's own City State while the rest of Oregon goes the other direction.

Proportional Representation at every seat at every level of government would solve things with no limits on the # of candidates and a total combined voting power of 1.0 per seat would work out just fine IMO.
And divide the salary of each seat proportionally based on the amount of votes each representative gets from their constiuents in their area.

Any difference in salary will require that the Political Party pay and cover. I'm not willing to let tax payers pay the difference.

If you can't get rid of Political Parties, I'll make it more expensive to operate Political Parties since they'll be on the hook for any financial differences in salary along with the salary of support staff per politician at ALL levels.

Imagine each seat having multiple Politicians from your poltical party and having all that extra Salary being paid for by those who try to aim to influence the Campaigns, but in reality they will be on the hook to cover the Salary Difference of any member of the party that falls short but gets some voting power.

I will make it illegal for Companies and Outside entities from donating to any individual politician, force them to shove the money down the Political Party's bank account so that they can cover all their Representatives who only get a fraction of a whole salary along with all those expensive staffers.

Not to mention funding all those extra's / benefits of being a politician. That life style ain't cheap.
