ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming 4X16GB 6000mhz ram compatible?

[dry sundial]

,,,don't use 4 sticks on DDR4

[vestal talon]

DDR5?

[dry sundial]

5*

meant 5 lol

sorry

[vestal talon]

all good

[dry sundial]

frankly, the list could use some changes too

[vestal talon]

why whats wrong with it

[dry sundial]

mostly just very unoptimal part choices

[vestal talon]

really?

[dry sundial]

what's the pc for anyways?

[vestal talon]

gaming, pretty heavy music production and some video production here and there

so you definitely reckon just go with a 2X32GB ram set up?

[dry sundial]

what exactly is the 64gb needed for anyways? 32gb seems sufficient

[dry sundial]

and yeah, 4 sticks is unstable on d5

most likely wouldn't work

[vestal talon]

the ram was alot cheaper than i initially thought it would be

i was going to stick with abudget

but it was so cheap i said why not

i was expecting it to be a pretty heavy hit on the ole funds on the ram since its the new shibang

i would have gone with even more but I stopped and thought to myself theres no earthly way I'd need it

[dry sundial]

Mind if I propose a list?

[vestal talon]

sure yeah

[vestal talon]

see im eu

and powercolour

i looked into for a white gpu

cheapest one i could find here was just about inching close to 2 grand

[dry sundial]

ah.

[vestal talon]

euro btw

for the card alone

[dry sundial]

,,,theres european country PCPP's

USA lists don't really work

which country in particular?

[vestal talon]

i have everything in the list already added to carts in my best and cheapest retailers

ireland

[dry sundial]

ah Ireland

[vestal talon]

its also very difficult to get hands on with anything lian li

[dry sundial]

ordering locally? or from the UK

[vestal talon]

cpu and gpu from amd themselves

and most of everything else from uk amazon

[dry sundial]

Brb

[vestal talon]

tyt tyt

[dry sundial]

back

[vestal talon]

the only things I'm not too hard set on that I can swap and change out pretty happily is the cpu maybe still debating going for the 7950X, the case is the closest I could find to an all white very open glass design, the SSDs if I can find either cheaper ones that offer good enough performance still with 4TB's each, the aio I just saw this one it was a good price and looked beautiful I saw a picture review of it with the lighting in white and the ram i probably will change out too

[vestal talon]

wb wb

Amazon UK ver

[vestal talon]

united states item

import costs ramp up the price

and wont ship to ireland

this is the gpu btw

powercolour

believe me i wanted that gpu so incredibly badly

its just not meant to be mi amigo

the founders edition being black isnt a problem

ill do the same for what i did with my old gpu

etsy and buy a custom white shroud or get a reputable creator to custom make one for me

i plan on buying some vanity plates and custom bits for the pc anyway

[steep jay]

AGESA 1007b came out recently with better DRAM support, ideally we get info from someone with that board who tried it

[vestal talon]

It was more an aesthetic thing for me

Having only two ram sticks in the ram slots just doesnt look good

[steep jay]

absolutely, feel ya

[vestal talon]

And there are no dummy sticks or light ehancement kits for ddr5 yet

[steep jay]

pain, yep :|

[vestal talon]

But in fairness ill be the only one looking at it

Ill send in a picture when its done but it could be a few months from now

Or ill start a thread for build progress and post as i go

[steep jay]

im actually gonna upgrade to 4 sticks in a while, to test it out

I'm on an X670E-E tho

[vestal talon]

I went up a tier for gpu and changed from the 7900 xt to xtx

And was thinking of changing board to the nzxt board

[steep jay]

nice!

[steep jay]

which one?

[vestal talon]

One sec ill link it

its beautiful its almost entireley white

but very pricey

[steep jay]

yea, but most of the NZXT boards lack in everything else ^^

[vestal talon]

ill be honest as far as the motherboard goes all i really need it to do is

support my cpu out of the box

have ethernet

idc about wifi bluetooth any other fancy things

just need it to do its job yk?

[steep jay]

you only need a board that can update BIOS without CPU, which thankfully is a feature on many boards now

[vestal talon]

i think the nzxt board only has a flashback button

[steep jay]

have you checked out their BIOS already? Thats a factor for me, which is why I went asus.

[vestal talon]

it says out of box it supports all 7000 series cpus so

[steep jay]

e.g. watch someone go over the UEFI settings in a YT video

[vestal talon]

https://nzxt.com/en-GB/product/n7-b650e

by the time you have the cooler on, cards in the pcie slots and the ram in

its almost entirely white

it is verrrry pricey though

[steep jay]

looks decent, you going with a white GPU then too?

[vestal talon]

its the one thing keeping me from being 100% on it

[vestal talon]

in eu for some reason there is no white rx 7900's

and the one i could find like i said above

was almost at a 700 euro mark up

and wouldnt even ship to me if i wanted it

[steep jay]

Sapphire Vapor-X is silver

[vestal talon]

silver is a no go

[steep jay]

😅

ok

[vestal talon]

ive seen silver rtx cards in all white builds

it just takes away from the look

so ill just take the gpu apart and paint it myself

[steep jay]

o.o

[vestal talon]

ive been painting cars for a while i can surely paint a shroud

[steep jay]

what model you going with?

[vestal talon]

7900 XTX amd founders edition

[steep jay]

ah, the MBA

theres no FE on AMD :P

[vestal talon]

basically just the in house amd card yeah

theres a sale if i buy the cpu and gpu together through amd themselves so

big stonks

[steep jay]

the RDNA 3 coolers are so beautiful

[vestal talon]

also its the cheapest i could find the cards

[vestal talon]

it really is

i want to leave the heatsinks black with the red stripe on it

with the white

ughhhhhhh

[steep jay]

damn

send me a picture when its done

[vestal talon]

oh for sure

after spending all that money ill definitely be showing it off for the first little while atleast

my current build is kind of pretty too also an all white build except gpu

had the same problem

[steep jay]

all black here, with some silver ^^

[vestal talon]

but for whatever reason trying to get white on corsairs products for the rgb sucks

there is no pure white its like a really pale blue

[steep jay]

heh I've got them running in a blue-purple-white color scheme

[vestal talon]

any pictures?

[steep jay]

one sec

[vestal talon]

This is an old picture because my desk is messy at the moment

i have an L desk but im going to take it apart and have it completely straight instead put them side by side

i plan on putting up a full white big long pegboard that covers the wall above my desk, get some shelves some hanging plants and the nanoleaf light bars

[vestal talon]

in this picture is what the white looks like on corsair products for rgb

some of it is pale blue and then other parts go to a weird silver purple

and its even worse on other products because they never look the same the lighting looks different on every corsair part

[steep jay]

colors come off better irl

[vestal talon]

is that the h9 elite?

no lian li

dynamic

just saw the vanity plate

im jealous man

ive been dreaming to have a computer this nice since i was a kid

this year i finally have adult money to play around with so im making it happen but yeah man thats dope asf

as far as fan set up goes what fans are you using for pull & push?

the h9 flow is very similar in design and im not sure what config i should go with

especially since the amd cards seem to run very hot even at idle because of some weird idle power consumption stuff

[steep jay]

bottom and right side are intake, top and back are outtake

6/4 to have some positive pressure

[steep jay]

same

[vestal talon]

so you aio is exhaust?

[steep jay]

yep

[vestal talon]

how does that affect your temps?

[steep jay]

AiO shouldnt be the intake unless you love hot graphics cards

[steep jay]

oh its alright, I use PTM7950 for the CPU

[vestal talon]

really? im running my current aio as the front intake

and my card sits happily at about 50 or so degrees under long loads

maybe peaking at 62 at times

[steep jay]

oh I limited my XTX to -10% Power

365W

[vestal talon]

ive seen alot of people saying the xtx cards draw almost 200 watts at idle

have you been experiencing that?

[steep jay]

its a known issue for certain display configurations, tho its "just" 100W not 200.

[vestal talon]

most benchmarks ive seen see them sitting at 160

[steep jay]

but we're working on it 🦾

[vestal talon]

and the lower end cards at 140 or so

i guess they have improved some bit since

[steep jay]

nah..

[vestal talon]

thats good to know actually

[steep jay]

what displays are you running?

[vestal talon]

it was a shoving point making me consider nvidia

[steep jay]

cuz I think you wont be affected

[vestal talon]

ok dont laugh

but

the new pc

will only ever be running 1080p

[steep jay]

yea okay not gonna be an issue then.

[vestal talon]

but i do plan on getting 2 more monitors

[steep jay]

only affects display configs above a certain bandwidth

[vestal talon]

one an ultrawide and maybe a cheaper curved for the side

[steep jay]

1080p60?

[vestal talon]

but ill still be using the current two monitors for stuff

[steep jay]

haha

[vestal talon]

the ultrawide i wanted to go with an oled 240hz

and my current two monitors are 165hz

[steep jay]

like that? ^^

[vestal talon]

exactly yeah

[steep jay]

[vestal talon]

but lets say you take 3 out

and ill be using my two current monitors for above the ultra and curved

i produce alot of music and the more monitors the better

[steep jay]

ah neat

was on my first rave recently

dope

[vestal talon]

i used to do gigs at clubs but things got really slow here with covid so

[steep jay]

same here, waiting til QD-OLED gets cheaper

[vestal talon]

went back to mechanics

i was thinking of the alien ware monitor that does 500 hz

but thats beyond overkill and i dont even think my pc could push that far on anything other than extremely well optimized e sports titles

[steep jay]

to be limited by most games with engine limits

240Hz and call it a day for the next 5+ years

[vestal talon]

honestly yeah

once the computers built im making the jump to starlink

im in rural ireland and currently as we speak we're in a pretty heavy storm and my messages are taking a solid 30 seconds or more to send

we're paying bout 40 euros a month

for 3 mpbs down and 2 mbps up

and starlink with the coverage map is promising 350mbps down and 25 up for where i am exactly

for 65 euros a month

and thats a game changer for me man

[steep jay]

wait youre still using euros in ireland? thought you guys went back to gbp

[vestal talon]

can finally give streaming a go

[vestal talon]

ireland isnt part of the uk

the north is

republic has always been european

the north uses gbp

us down here use good ole euro

[steep jay]

what a clusterfuQ

[vestal talon]

we dont associate with the northern boys

as far as we're concerned they dont exist

storm is really doing a number on us at the moment, and its said its not to clear up until friday

just praying after dishing out the cash for starlink that it really changes things for me

[steep jay]

if lots of people use it nearby its less effective

[vestal talon]

i live in a village where people are in their 80s

they dont even know what internet is

[steep jay]

ah good.

[vestal talon]

we have i think maybe 25 to 30 people here

and all of them are old farmers that dont use internet

so I think im bing chilling

but that depends on where thhe nearest ground station is

although i can only purchase the newest v1.5 dishy and set up and i think they very rarely ever communicate with the ground station

the satellites try as often as they can to just bounce off eachother instead

so thats an even bigger win for me

glad now i waited a little while for starlink to get their feet under them before i became a consumer

[steep jay]

yea kinda sad that gigabit ethernet isnt standard in every household already

[vestal talon]

in fairness i dont blame any internet providers for not covering us

we're atleast 15 ish miles away from another town

and a good bit more away from any built up city

[steep jay]

nah, thats a state / country thing.

politics 💀

[vestal talon]

as far as my internet goes my download and upload are horrendous

so bad it should be illegal to give those speeds

but my ping has always been fairly alright

80-100 ping on an average good day

i think starlink is giving an estimated 25 to 50 ping

i cant play games like valorant, apex legends warzone and csgo

the lag is so bad my shots usually just dont even hit anywhere near where i fired them or im constantly rubber banding
