Nice setup :)

#

I would roll with a GoXLR

golden hamlet Jul 13, 2020, 9:40 PM

Thanks dude. I got alot of changes coming, with cleaning it up and making it look more pretty haha

Cable management, and stuff like that, I want to get that pryamid mount but then install it into the table as well so its no longer on the table.

I'll sell you a goxlr for 1,499 Atron kappaspin

Just created #archive-battlestations ! A dedicated channel to show off your PC & peripherals. :]

storm umbra Jul 13, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

So is this channel like tech support now and #archive-battlestations is for setups?

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

yes

tough mountain Jul 13, 2020, 10:56 PM

@storm umbra you got it!

storm umbra Jul 13, 2020, 10:56 PM

Aight thx!

tough mountain Jul 13, 2020, 10:56 PM

just wanted a dedicated space to post pics of completed setups if that makes sense

Sounds good 👍

fluid plinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

So do xfx 580 go with asus b550

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

I'm sure it does, but I'd go with a b450 instead

fluid plinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

Ok 👍🏻

#

And what company is best for ram

static pecan Jul 13, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

G Skill has pretty good RAM prices. I have a 16gb kit of DDR4 3200 saved for my build that's like $65 USD rn

night pike Jul 13, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

pretty much anything from a reputable company isn't going to be bad

#

corsair, crucial, and g skill are all pretty good

#

also if there's a huge price jump between speeds remember u can oc if ur into that

#

i have my 2666 oc'd to 3000

fluid plinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

I’ll probably go with g skill

B450 ATX motherboard, 16GB of cheap DDR4 RAM, at least 600 watt 80+ PSU, whatever case you can afford

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:41 PM

^^

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

The r5 3600 is a great cpu I use it in my current build most people big stan the 3600

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gpNnf9 @fresh flint

System Builder

#

This is a $692 system but you can cut a few corners

#

Plus waiting until the next gen CPUs and GPUs are out will take the price down too

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

rx 580 would fit in more i'd say

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

Has the release date for the 4th gen ryzens been announced cuz I’m upgrading in September to a ryzen 9 3900x but if the release date is soon I’ll hold off

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

aren't the xt versions the 4th gen ryzens?

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

I don’t think so maybe I’m mistaken

storm umbra Jul 13, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

It’s supposed to release around September

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

like the ryzen 5 3600xt, ryzen 7 3800xt, ryzen 9 3900xt

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

Ok thank you @storm umbra

storm umbra Jul 13, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

The XT lineup is just a revamp of the 3rd gen

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

ah okay

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

That’s what I was thinking

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

I wasn't too sure of it

storm umbra Jul 13, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

Ok thank you @storm umbra
@wet sequoia no problem

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

But ya if the 4ths drop in September I’m probably still gonna get the 3900x cuz it’ll be cheaper

#

Maybe see if I can squeeze like a 4700x in

storm umbra Jul 13, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

Yeah. Prices should hopefully drop. Maybe not as much as before but some at lease.

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

Are they gonna be good to work with x570s out the box or will I need to update the bios like on the older b450 boards and the 3rd gens

#

I don’t mind updating the bios but it would be nice not to

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

even a 5 3600 will work with a x570

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

Ya but that’s cuz the x570 is updated to work with 3rd gen

#

I’m talking 4th gens

storm umbra Jul 13, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

All you should need is a bios flash. They made a promise to keep every CPU on AM4 socket

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

^

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

I’d prefer not to do a bios flash cuz I’m lazy but it’s not a problem

#

Lol

storm umbra Jul 13, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

Lol

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

My upgrades should be nice at the moment with out 4th gens on mind I’m thinking an Asus prime x570, R9 3900x, Corsair h100i platinum SE and a lian-Li 011 dynamic

clear jacinth Jul 13, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

freshh

#

the lian li 011 dynamic looks awesome

wet sequoia Jul 13, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

if the 4th gens are our in September I’ll probably stick a 4900x in there cuz this is meant to be my dream upgrade

#

I stupidly held myself to a budget last summer even though I had pretty much an unlimited budget

storm umbra Jul 13, 2020, 11:50 PM

static pecan Jul 14, 2020, 3:12 AM

@clear jacinth The XT series is just a 3rd gen refresh with higher clock speeds because they had to delay Ryzen 4000 because of COVID. There's no official release date for Ryzen 4000 yet but it'll most likely be late this year or early next year @wet sequoia

storm umbra Jul 14, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

They said leaks are set for mid to late September

median rivet Jul 14, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

Covid is doing bits to the pc world

storm umbra Jul 14, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

Yeah

#

I got my R5 2600 for $115. Lowest you can find it on Amazon is $141

#

It doesn’t seem like a lot but when all the components are marked up like that you can easily add $100-$200 on a mid range build where you could spend it otherwise.

Hey guys do you know any cheap 144hz gaming monitors?

#

If you do make sure to dm me

#

Help out your holy man

And you will get a free ticket to heaven

noble oak Jul 14, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

Ping me too I forgot

storm umbra Jul 14, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

@noble oak This one is the cheapest I would get. It’s 144hz, 1080p, but has TN panel instead of IPS. https://www.amazon.com/Acer-KG241Q-Pbiip-FREESYNC-Technology/dp/B07MG85X1M | This one is one that I’ve seen been recommended a lot for $20 more https://www.amazon.com/Acer-VG240Y-Pbiip-FREESYNC-Technology/dp/B07VFPYRP3 | lastly $20 than that is what I would consider the best option for a “budget” 144hz monitor https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-E255B-1658A-Gaming-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B07KGMQGDT

#

Hope this helps

noble oak Jul 14, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

@storm umbra you put 20 instead of 200

storm umbra Jul 14, 2020, 5:53 AM

I don’t proofread so I’m sorry if it confused you

#

Oh I see

I mean $20 more

For capture cards I've ONLY heard good things about the elgato ones.
I have the internal one and it works great

@raw pollen are you trying to capture gameplay from a console or PC? and if you're capturing PC do you have a desktop or a laptop?

if it's a budget build, why are you going with a $200 case?

there are way cheaper options

@raw pollen go with an Elgato HD60S then. It plugs into your PC through USB 3 and HDMI then has a second HDMI that can go to your console and you can easily switch between the two

fiery crystal Jul 14, 2020, 4:47 PM

sup

#

but I'd go with a ryzen 5 3600
i agree with this compared to the 10th gen i3

#

what psu did u put in it doe

raw pollen Jul 14, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

@static pecan but wouldn't it be the same if I had an internal one? Also wouldn't I get a smoother stream or is it basically the same

static pecan Jul 14, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

The HD60 Pro has a built in H.264 enconder on the card itself while the 60S uses some of your GPU to encode the video so it really just depends on how powerful your GPU is

raw pollen Jul 14, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

I have a ryzen 5 2600

#

So it's the same but the external will take a bit of juice from my system

#

I'm not sure if I made it clear b4 but I have a spare computer lying around so if the internal is better than I can put it in that computer

static pecan Jul 14, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

If you have the money for the internal then go for that one since it's pretty much better in every way lol. I have a gaming laptop so I can't use the internal until I build a new desktop

wet sequoia Jul 14, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

I run the internal hd60 pro and I love it looks really clean. The HD60s is external so more wires and unless you manage them right will be a little messier @raw pollen

raw pollen Jul 14, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

both

#

i work & play games on it

static pecan Jul 14, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

The 3700X is a better all-around CPU for everything like gaming, multitasking, etc. On top of that you wouldn't even notice the FPS difference in games between a 3700X and a 9700K anyway. Plus the 3700X is a lot cheaper @hearty ravine

hearty ravine Jul 14, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

yeah thats what ive read & figured id go for the 3700x anyways but i wanted to see if anyone had an argument for the 9700k lol

#

extra difference in price lets me buy some extra ram too

static pecan Jul 14, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

Unless you're just an Intel fanatic and have to have everything they make there really isn't any good arguments for getting an Intel CPU anymore

hearty ravine Jul 14, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

all of the pcs ive built have been intel but thats just because thats what the other person bought, nervous to socket amd for the first time lmao

#

do you know if itd be worth it to upgrade my 1050ti right now or if i should just wait

lucid wigeon Jul 14, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

depends on what you'd want to upgrade to

#

as in if you are considering waiting for a 30xx gpu, will the performance increase be worth it

median rivet Jul 15, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

I have an argument

#

INTEL FTW

#

Has an estimated price been dropped for the 30 series that's reliable yet?

hearty ravine Jul 15, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

id probably get a 2060 honestly, so im probably going to just wait for the 30 series to release

lucid wigeon Jul 15, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

that's fair enough

#

@median rivet i mean there's a possibility the prices wont even drop like its been in the past

hearty ravine Jul 15, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

OK another question for you guys, should i go ryzen 7 3700x or do u guys think i could get away with the 5 3600x its like a $60 difference so it doesnt matter that much but still

broken raptor Jul 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

I go with the 3700 for the better cores and threads

#

That's the one I'm going with

static pecan Jul 15, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

@hearty ravine a 3600X would be fine for gaming and productivity stuff. You really only need the two extra cores of the 3700X if you plan on streaming or doing any other CPU intensive stuff

#

Games won't even take advantage of a full 6 core CPU like the 3600X for another 4+ generations at least. Gaming innovation is always years behind CPU innovation. Newer games today are just now really taking advantage of quad core CPUs lol

hearty ravine Jul 15, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

i went from asking about 3600x to looking at the 9 3900x lmaooo

static pecan Jul 15, 2020, 1:36 AM

Well if you're looking at the 3900X you might as well look at the 3950X lmaoooo

o oh no

#

thats double the price

#

lmao

static pecan Jul 15, 2020, 1:36 AM

hearty ravine Jul 15, 2020, 1:37 AM

hearty ravine Jul 15, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

i was looking at the nzxt kraken x53 but iddddk

lucid wigeon Jul 15, 2020, 1:38 AM

3950x does add 4 cores and 8 threads although they aren't needed that much

hearty ravine Jul 15, 2020, 1:38 AM

but its also like $700

You can also still download the Windows 10 installer from the Microsoft website and get it that way lol

im between the lancool II or the H510

nzxt cases are supposed to be good

ive heard very good things about both of them, im just not sure if i want rgb on my case too or if i want a nice clean exterior and then an ungodly amount of rgb inside

static pecan Jul 15, 2020, 2:06 AM

$120 will get you barley anything for a PC lol. Save up $600-$700 before you look into building a PC because going the ultra low end/cheap route won't end well

civic apex Jul 15, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Ok I’ll save

hearty ravine Jul 15, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

yeah the ram im getting alone costs $80, and while its rgb and unnecessary, with taxes in chicago at least its pretty much that entire $120

#

if you want to flex a nice build $1k is good to aim for, but even with my limited knowledge i agree that at least $600 is what you want

@hearty ravine lancool ii mesh over normal lancool ii imo

This is not every combination possible and not every price point but it gives you an idea of what each common price range offers (and some say a 2070 super bottlenecks a R5 2600, what I’ve seen it really doesn’t). These do not include peripherals, fans, a OS, or a monitor, just the PC Components.

@storm umbra for $1800 you can get a build with a 2080ti

#

also i know you said they dont include fans but the $3500 list has a lian li o11 and that case doesnt come with fans so probabaly shouldve included some

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 11:38 AM

@honest bone no

yes

u would bottle neck that cpu then

not a 3600

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 11:40 AM

yes you would

you would atleast need a 7 3700x

honest bone Jul 15, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

no

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

a 5 3600 isn't good enough for a 2080ti smh

#

Your processor is too weak for this graphic card on 1080p resolution. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 17.52% of bottleneck on 1080p resolution. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck.

#

even google says it so idk what ur talking about buddy

honest bone Jul 15, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

theres only a 10 frame difference compared to a 9900k and obviously youll be getting more frames on intel so that makes sense, and obviously a 9900k doesnt bottleneck a 2080ti

so you are saying if the 3600 was a 3700x that it would get more frames than the 9900k? in the pic that i sent

not a 17.52% bottleneck

@pulsar fossil will a r5 3600 bottleneck a 2080ti?

there is barely a difference in gaming between 3600,3700x,3900x

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

bruh

#

there for sure is

#

100%

honest bone Jul 15, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

no

#

nothing major

#

im pretty sure it only "bottlenecks" on 1080p and even then as you can see its not even bad, theres a 10 frame difference between the 3600 and a 9900k (best gaming cpu at the time of upload)

#

so why would you spend the extra hundreds of dollars on a 9900k for only 10-15 FPS

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

why would spend $1300 on a gpu and $200 on a cpu lmao

#

doesn't make sense

honest bone Jul 15, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

again, not the point

#

if someone is just gaming why would they need a 3900x

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

again, it would bottleneck

not really

it's a huge bottleneck

but whatever dude

its ok to be wrong sometimes nobody is perfect

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 11:59 AM

@honest bone why not get a ryzen 3900x if you can afford a 2080ti

honest bone Jul 15, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

Because if someone is only gaming they don’t need 12 cores @low vigil

As you can see in the photo I sent there is only a 3 FPS difference there between the 3600 and 3900x

storm umbra Jul 15, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

If you’re getting a 2080ti I would think you’re just going all out lol. That’s why I put a 3950x in there. You could do a 3600X/XT but if you are already spending $1300 on a GPU I think you should be getting a better CPU to go along with it. I’m not debunking your statements I’m just sayin what I meant.

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

12 cores are faster than 6 though

storm umbra Jul 15, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

@vestal seal 1050ti or RX570 do the job 👍

#

Yeah. If you’re doing a 6 core processor with the most powerful consumer GPU out there, we need to talk 😂

#

Not saying there isn’t anything wrong with it

#

It’s just not optimal

low vigil Jul 15, 2020, 2:22 PM

You don't need 2080ti either if you're only gaming by that logic @honest bone

This is true

honest bone Jul 15, 2020, 2:32 PM

Well a 3600 can handle a 2080ti just fine and in gaming there is no major difference between a 3600 and a 3900x

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

but why get a 2080ti for gaming when you can get a 2070 super which will handle every game perfectly fine

honest bone Jul 15, 2020, 2:33 PM

I understand what you are saying about it being super high end but like I said they may not even utilize those extra 6 cores so there would be no need

realistically a r3 3200g can pair with a 2080ti, but it just won't work together

#

what's even your point lmao

honest bone Jul 15, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

And just because I said a 3600 can handle a 2080ti (which it can handle it). means I know nothing?

clear jacinth Jul 15, 2020, 2:44 PM

it can but not for long

trust me

and it won't do good

#

trust me

low vigil Jul 15, 2020, 2:44 PM

I don't get how you fit a rtx 2080ti in a 1800$ build without compensations. You will need a fast RAM. You will need an SSD if you want to match your build. You will need a damn good cooler. You will want a nice tower. You will want a nice PSU

Don't see how you fit all that in that 1800 budget

2080ti consumes a lot of wattage I believe

@clear jacinth h510 has bad airflow and why are you buying a psu that’s $150+ and 750w for this.. that’s completely overkill

well put a 600w in there then

Just got caught up on what I missed since I went to bed and I just want to say that @honest bone is correct that a 3600 won't have any noticeable impact on gaming FPS/performance compared to a 3700X or 9900k. That being said, the combination of a $1200 GPU with a $200 CPU is incredibly stupid considering no one actually needs a 2080TI. A 2060 Super/2070/RX 5700XT is more than enough for the vast majority of people if all you're doing is gaming. Of course, if you want to stream or really do anything else besides gaming that would put a strain on the system then you should go with a 3700X or higher.

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

Well, speakers point toward you

#

So you don't want the sound reflected off the back wall and towards you

#

So you put the absorbers behind

#

Sound treatment can be super complex so this is just a general statement for how most people have their stuff setup for most rooms

#

It's especially important if you want your room to be for recording, then you might want diffusers in there too so the mic doesn't sound too sterile

#

If you're using headphones, even if they're open back, sound treatment won't matter

#

all are this

clear jacinth Jul 16, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

are they at the same frequency? for example 3200 mhz

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

yes

clear jacinth Jul 16, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

hmmm

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

like theyre the exact same sticks

clear jacinth Jul 16, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

you've got 32 gb of ram now right?

#

it's kinda weird 🤔

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

no

#

i can only use 3 whole sticks.

#

so one stick is bad.

clear jacinth Jul 16, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

oh

#

hmm

#

idk about this one Jon 😅

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 8:59 PM

its fine everythings fine. Fire

noble oak Jul 16, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

Mmm

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

Gonna unplug the good 3rd stick, and plug in the other one and see if it still works. if not then ill know its a bad stick.

lucid wigeon Jul 16, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

god, three sticks

#

no dual channel memory will make it slower

noble oak Jul 16, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

Go 2

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

2 isnt enough

#

which is why i had to buy more.

lucid wigeon Jul 16, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

thats fair enough

#

@golden hamlet if you haven't fixed it yet, there are some mobos that don't support some amounts of ram

#

could remove one of the old sticks and try with the new one, see if that's the case

wicked river Jul 16, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Correct me if I’m wrong but it might be bc you have 3 sticks

clear jacinth Jul 16, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

no

#

you can have 3 sticks

wicked river Jul 16, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Ok

true

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

my mobo can handle three.

#

i will be returning my new two. buying two more and then selling my other two. its confusing but its all figured out

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:37 PM

Might want to test all the slots just to be safe too

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 10:38 PM

PepeLaugh

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:38 PM

It should just run at the lowest rated speed

#

Unusual that two kits wouldn't work together

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 10:39 PM

i guess once i decide to shut my pc off i can try and see if that slot works.

noble oak Jul 16, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jf9vMc can someone check the compatibly im confusion

System Builder

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

Looks fine

#

It's just saying your mobo and case don't have USB 3.2 compatibility

#

Because your case has the physical port but your mobo doesn't have a header for it

#

So you won't be able to use it, no biggie for most people

#

Case/cpu/ram clearance you can check yourself from manufacturer websites

noble oak Jul 16, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

@crimson scroll so do i need USB C?

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:41 PM

I don't know, do you?

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 10:41 PM

I thought when i looked it up, it said I could.

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:41 PM

Everybody is still using USB A to c for phones

golden hamlet Jul 16, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

tuf x470 plug is my MOBO

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

If you don't know, then you don't need it

#

That's my general rule of thumb

noble oak Jul 16, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

@crimson scroll USB C is bacisally samsung charger?

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

No lol

#

That's some damn good marketing though

noble oak Jul 16, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

idk these USB stuff lol

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

USB is its own standard

#

Phones license that standard for use

lucid wigeon Jul 16, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

imo usb c is useful on the front panel, if need be you can buy a usb c hub and extend the usb ports

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

USB c is a physical dimension, 3.2 is the spec

#

It's like nvme VS m. 2

#

Newer Samsung phones use USB c but so do all new phones bar iphone

#

So it's not a Samsung thing

noble oak Jul 16, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

oh no

#

so i dotn need it?

#

dont*

crimson scroll Jul 16, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

You don't

#

You can still connect your phone to your computer with a USB A to c cable like all charging cables

@noble oak If you want some more storage the Crucial P1 1TB M.2 SSD is only $5 more than the 970 you have listed now

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 4:59 AM

#

Sure

#

I’ll consider it

#

@crimson scroll Whats wrong with that

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

technically, nothing

#

but why get a smaller board when you can get a bigger one

#

and a bigger one usually means better power delivery, more expansion

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

Ah ok

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

if your case was matx then

#

you'd get a matx mobo

but your case supports ATX

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

Yeah

#

It’s also supports micro ATX

#

@crimson scroll soo

storm umbra Jul 17, 2020, 5:01 AM

if you can, go ATX

#

its worth it for expandability

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:01 AM

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:01 AM

Unfortunately you sacrifice built in WiFi, but with the increased PCIe slots you can pick up a WiFi adapter later on if you really need it

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

Is the wifi thingy in the box

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

usually motherboards will include antennas if they have wifi

#

if that's what you mean

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

Yes

#

Exactly

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

also, b550 kinda sucks still

#

for budget, go b450; for power, go x570

#

the b550 range is in a weird place

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

Yeah my budget is 1500

#

@crimson scroll is b450 future proof?

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

no...but are you gonna go from a 3700x to a 4700x

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

No

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

certain b450 will support zen 3

static pecan Jul 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

No, AMD only added support for 3000 series CPUs do to popular request. B550 was originally only going to be for 4000 and up CPUs

storm umbra Jul 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

they promised to keep the same socket

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

current socket is am4 @noble oak

storm umbra Jul 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

all you should need is a bios flash

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

new socket will likely be named am5

#

old socket was am3+

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

So when is am5?

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

as you can see

#

bigger number = newer socket

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

Yes

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

and sockets aren't compatible

#

so you can't use an am3+ cpu on an am4 socket

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

Yes

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

also

#

AMD may move to ddr5

#

which means motherboards won't be compatible with new ram

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

Oh no

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

anyways, it's nice that you can just drop in new cpus

static pecan Jul 17, 2020, 5:09 AM

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

Yeah

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

but i think the whole futureproofing thing is overblown

#

if you're upgrading every new cpu gen

#

you don't care about futureproofing anyways

#

you have the money to blow

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

@crimson scroll so b450 or b550?

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

and if you are saving money, then you can just wait and upgrade every 3-4 generations

noble oak Jul 17, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

Ima get a b450 tomahawk

crimson scroll Jul 17, 2020, 5:10 AM
