The high end Ryzen processors are showing in professional benchmarks (cinnebench, passmark shit) to be extremely high performers, hitting above 5ghz, i think one of the other threads on here is talking about a record breaking cinnebench score

Id say wait a week or two for more consumer reviews, more benchmarks, just to make sure.
For quietness, invest in a good noise reducing case, no window, minimal venting except for fan vents. BeQuiet is a bit more than just a meme, their cases are extremely good at noise reduction and come with fantastic fans. Though more of their silentwings fans wouldnt hurt

Pump noise may be an issue with water cooling, though it may be required with a high overclock, i suggest a quality AIO with some nice fans in that scenario.
A full custom loop may be better because you can isolate and dampen the pump noise in a case basement, and then youre just left with 2-6 fans on a radiator, but then you also may have to incorporate a second rad for the gpu, or just use an AIO cooled gpu instead
Another option for noise reduction is a big block case with fucking huge fans, 200mm fans push a lot of air and are near silent

I admire quiet builds, i use to have a silverstone sg 11b with easily 6 fans inside it, 6 hard drives, r9 280x, bitch vibrated like a playboy bunny's dresser drawer
sounded like a jet turbine

>how many days do i wait until i see benchmarks relevant to what i do

you wait until you see those benchmarks

wtf kind of question is this

Thank you so much for the detailed response anon. You are a nice /g/entleman.

The release date is March 2nd. I'm asking to see maybe some reviewers like Linus may get the CPU earlier to test. I'm not that informed to know if this usually happens or not, so I'm asking here.

This is important because I need to know if I'm selling my PC to my cousin or not ASAP.

I would say sell it. The money you are saving on the 1800x vs what you (probably) paid for the 5960X should offset the $300 depreciation alone. If you sell it you might be PCless for a while since the chips drop in March and if you are on an island, shipping might be a while. I would see if you could fit a 1080 (or wait for Vega), bit you will not miss much with a 1070. Since Summit Ridge has no IGPU, getting a GPU should be your first priority. AMD blew my expectations out of the water.

testing has already begun on the ryzen chips with engineering samples, the nda lifts on the 28th, you MIGHT have accurate, relevant benchmarks as early as 1 minute into the 28th. but nobody can say anything right now, and nobody can guarantee anything right now

just tell your cousin to wait a little bit more. you might be able to gauge performance on AE/Premiere Pro based on the results of other similar tests.

Ok thanks. I will wait a few days. Really hoping to see actual After Effects / Premiere Pro benchmarks.

As far as GPU goes, I gotta do some research. Seems like Adobe favors nvidia. So I might go with a 1070. AE mostly uses CPU, not GPU, so I don't really need anything better.

i forgot about mentioning something about a gpu upgrade for op
i think op should wait for the new amd cards to come out, it would be a while, but stick with a 970 until then
and if theyre shit, invest in a proper professional card, like a firepro w9100
or some of those new wx 7100's

From what I know so far, Adobe applications work much better with nvidia cards.
