What is your RAM speed and amount?

pulsar zephyr Dec 17, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

BK is single rank and B is dual rank, whatever that means

grizzled holly Dec 17, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

ah

pulsar zephyr Dec 17, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

looks like they have the same timings though

high patio Dec 17, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

As far as processors go, which is faster? AMD or Intel?

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

The difference between the two is that

grizzled holly Dec 17, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

Depends the price point @scenic heath

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

one is single sided, the other is double sided

grizzled holly Dec 17, 2019, 4:26 AM

@high patio *

warm barn Dec 17, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

ok i have dual rank should i spend the extra for another dual rank one

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

Both are the same and will be fine

pulsar zephyr Dec 17, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

it's not like anything is overclocked at 2400MHz anyway

grizzled holly Dec 17, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

@high patio What is your budget for the CPU?

high patio Dec 17, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

@grizzled holly ok... If I'm looking to spend say, 200 to 300, then which one would be faster?

warm barn Dec 17, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

ima just get the cheaper one then

grizzled holly Dec 17, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

I'll give you one for 250 ish and 300

warm barn Dec 17, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

thanks guys

grizzled holly Dec 17, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

@high patio For 200$, AMD

#

The 3600.

#

For a little above 200, AMD, 3600X

ok with ram though.. so ill be able to have a ton of chrome pages up with more ram right?

grizzled holly Dec 17, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

Are you using it for gaming? @high patio

pulsar zephyr Dec 17, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

what's the difference betwen X and non X if all AMD cpus are unlocked?

grizzled holly Dec 17, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

If yes, and only gaming, Intel

#

Those CPUs I said were all-round

high patio Dec 17, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

@grizzled holly of course

grizzled holly Dec 17, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

But if you're only gaming, Intel.

#

i5-9600KF

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

X is clocked higher stock

#

only difference

pulsar zephyr Dec 17, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

ah i see

#

so it's a guarantee that it's stable at a higher clock basically

#

that you are paying for

man idk if i should buy the extra 8gb of ram. idk if i really need it

#

i just be getting bad lag when i stream and have chrome up

pulsar zephyr Dec 17, 2019, 4:33 AM

16GB is kind of the minimum for running Chrome isn't it? lel

im at 80% right now with a stream open, discord & a youtube video playin

unusually high?

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:35 AM

ram or cpu?

warm barn Dec 17, 2019, 4:35 AM

25% cpu

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:35 AM

45 on one monitor and 15ish on another lol

warm barn Dec 17, 2019, 4:39 AM

#

ok i have another questions tho. i have 2 moitor setup. ill be playing a game on my main monitor and i want to watch a yt vid on the other. i pull the vid on the other monitor but.... it'll drop my main monitors refresh rate to 60hz from 240hz

#

i even tested with ufotest

#

same thing. if anything is moving on the 2nd monitor. things drop on the main monitor.

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:39 AM

#

are both 240hz?

warm barn Dec 17, 2019, 4:39 AM

#

2nd one is 60

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

That's why

#

It will render at the lowest frequencyt

#

WHen video plays

warm barn Dec 17, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

aww

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

Yeah, you can't split frequency like that

warm barn Dec 17, 2019, 4:41 AM

#

that really sucks

#

is there a way to bypass it?

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

No

high patio Dec 17, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

Often times I'll run 2 instances of a game up, to use alts. Would having simultaneous multi threading help with speed in this case?

elfin warren Dec 17, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

No, this is a hardware limitation. To my knowledge, video cards can't output two video streams at different frequencies.

#

You can have the desktop at one frequency and game at another but once you start a video or other render, it defaults to the lowest frequency

high patio Dec 17, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

right

grim grove Dec 17, 2019, 9:46 PM

#

alright perfect

#

I should just enable XMP and nothing else for overclocking RAM right? @dusk oracle

dusk oracle Dec 17, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

XMP profile is more like for your motherboard to read the speed the memory is at like if it is 3200MHz memory you would turn it on so the motherboard can read that

#

overclocking is a different thing

hollow thorn Dec 17, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

What I would do is look at XMP profile as a guideline, and do slightly lower timings

grim grove Dec 17, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

Aahh alright.

#

@hollow thorn so when i enable xmp it auto lowers timings

#

correct?

hollow thorn Dec 17, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

Um no

#

XMP has like pre-set profiles

#

So when you enable it, you select a profile

dusk oracle Dec 17, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

This is the memory i have and when i have the XMP profile enable to shows the timing shown on there https://www.newegg.ca/team-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820313777?Item=N82E16820313777

And made mistake with ordering new one before

#

Sadness

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

I liek MSI bios

#

Just because I have it

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

Is ROG built on MSI?

#

Or from the same assets or something?

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

no

#

ROG is from ASUS

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

Yes

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

I'm confused by your question

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

Asus is to me the sadnesss

#

Just the color scheme

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

For what reason?

#

MSI is quite red

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

Yes

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

one sec

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

So is ROG

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

lemme send a photo I have from a bit ago

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

Ok

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

📎 20190727_185534.jpg

#

I guess asus was more red

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

MSI is fine with me

#

But my friend has a ROG laptop with a bios that I can't find any actual settings in

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

oh yea I like the boot order thingy

#

Its very nice

#

compact, but you can still see everything

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

Yes, good design, etc

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:56 AM

#

Everything was in one place too if I remember correctly

#

on that screen

#

tho I dont have much to compare it to soooo its like survivor bias

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:57 AM

#

That's definitely more convient than having a ton of tabs like ASRock, or some of the older Bioses I've messed with.

#

On craptops and whatnot

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 2:58 AM

#

tho like it seems like other BIOS has more options or smth

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 2:58 AM

#

I think some older Asus bioses I didn't mind actually

#

But you can get to more stuff with the settings and advanced and whatnot

#

In MSI

#

As far as I know

#

My experience with ROG, which is only my friend's laptop, is that the bios does not actually give the user any control over anything, really

#

Maybe it's just something particular to his board

#

Idk

#

Regardless

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

I mean laptop usually locks OC n stuff

fair orbit Dec 18, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

i love asus bios..never had an issue

glad stream Dec 18, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

Hmmmm

#

Yeah that's a good point

#

Idk, I'd have to try just a regular mainboard to have a opinion that was justifiable in any way other than "because I don't like it"

I dont get why someone wants you ot get a x570 board without even having 3rd gen ryzen

weak hamlet Dec 18, 2019, 1:17 PM

hope not anyone from this channel told you to go x570 on 2nd gen ryzen

Yea someone did lol

weak hamlet Dec 18, 2019, 1:42 PM

REEEEEEEEEEE

#

I suppose its ok. it does say Supports AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen / 2nd Gen Ryzen / Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics Processors

#

Q-Flash Plus Update BIOS Without Installing CPU, Memory, GPU

#

but for 1,300 dollars.. might as well go 3rd gen

#

could probably slim down on the psu too.. 850w is a bit extreme

#

min 550w for the gpu you chose.

r5 3600 for 189.99 at B&H

I got you below 1300 @south walrus

better cpu / changed psu

money you save you could add a nice AIO for you cpu.

hi guys

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 8:51 PM

yes

misty belfry Dec 18, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

@south walrus I do usually give away to family members and friends, basically anyone that doesn't need me to ship a thing

#

could eventually make exceptions though

#

just not an entire PC

#

shipping PC parts is rough, you need anti-static bags, good packing material, big boxes to hold the good packing material

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

Sounds complicated, and expensive

misty belfry Dec 18, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

basicaly

#

basically

#

the companies like newegg that ship stuff there's already an antistatic bag in there and packing material is good so they just need some foam peanuts and a box

#

i've gotten computer parts in a bubble wrap anti static bag within a bubble wrap lined bag

#

have shipped them the same

#

stuff like RAM, PCIe cards (even GPUs)

hollow thorn Dec 18, 2019, 10:35 PM

Its usual, it boosts to its usual max whenever it goes under load

#

Or if you have a pre-set OC, it stays at it.

young thunder Dec 18, 2019, 10:36 PM

hmm ok, i'm guessing its pre-set OC because its like this when its idle

enjoy the bottleneck

performance will still beat anything you've experienced before

also: i decided to buy 3600MHz RAM instead of the 3200MHz RAM I was going to buy before, because my plans to upgrade to Zen 2 later

#

but maybe i'll still buy 3200Mhz because realistically lol

i'd rather get RAM with my NVMe drive so i can buy a GPU the next month

thoughts? opinions?

misty belfry Dec 19, 2019, 3:04 PM

seems legit

#

2700X is a strong CPU

should handle anything the super can throw at it

just make sure you have 3200MHz RAM

so your infinity fabric can do its thing and the CPU can do full speed

It would probably be better to get a mid-tier board for now, you could always sell it for a loss and get the expensive board later.

@naive pendant That MSI Godlike board is good. But it isnt just an OC board but LN2 OC board

So unless you're going to do LN2 OC then dont get it

naive pendant Dec 19, 2019, 11:14 PM

#

It's a good OC board if you like a ton of random, but probably somebody's niche out there - features

#

aorux xtreme and M11E are a bit more conventional - , the dark (less so) the apex, gene dominate the records usually

misty belfry Dec 20, 2019, 12:51 AM

also please get 3200MHz DDR4 or 3600MHz for third gen

that infinity fabric™️

i'll be at a disadvantage when i go 3rd gen because i'm buying 3200MHz RAM right now for my 2nd gen

i'll be trying to get a 3900X at bargain basement deals when zen3 comes out

With the current pricing of things, if I planned to upgrade/ buy a new pc, it would cost me twice the price of my pc built 5 years ago. It is utterly insane. Hoping that the GPU & CPU price will go down a lot with new gen.

it is a powerful CPU no doubt, and costs next to nothing

That is considering deal or close to the cheapest promotion I can get. It is still 2x the price. In early 2015, I bought my pc at MYR 3500+. At that time, they just released 1070 and 1080. Now, the pc I was planning to build is going to cost at least 7k.

Probably due to the bad economy my country is facing. Yeah, the local currency is fairing badly against US currency.

gleaming storm Dec 20, 2019, 7:53 AM

#

The country was doing alright inititally but lots of thing happened. now, the whole thing is going nuts, the value of the MYR currency is dropping so badly.

#

That's why I been stalling for some time, hoping next year the currency will rebound slightly.

misty belfry Dec 20, 2019, 7:58 AM

#

it seems like you're encountering nothing more than a currency issue yeah

#

1 MYR is 0.24 USD, but you'd think you could get stuff from taiwan or other asian countries and have a favorable outcome

#

the exchange rate for TWD is more favorable than USD

#

and a lot of parts are made there

because the wide part of the cooler hangs over the RAM slots

well doesn't hang over that i know

it's just in that general direction

also raeniblu it depends on if you can tell us what the motherboard is

and how much RAM you want

okay so you want to get a 16GB set of RAM?

your board can handle many speeds

oh okay so as long as I dont get anything more than will be good? does that imply that if i get something lower it will not be as fast?

is DDR3L compatible?

hello. this is my current build:
i5 6600k, 2x4GB of 2133mhz, b150 pc mate motherboard, 1060 3gb GPU

I'd like to upgrade and was told that my i5 6600k is still a viable option for gaiming. I mainly play League of Legends and Destiny 2. So I was thinking of upgrading everything except the processor.

I play at 1080p 144hz but plan on going up to 1440p 144hz.

is this a good decision?

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:41 AM

hmm

you might want to upgrade to 16GB of some faster RAM

but you could be on DDR3

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:44 AM

Also you should replace the 3gb 1060 for the 1650 Super

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

also i don't know really what League's demands are, but I feel like you could get 1440p 144Hz out of league with just a 1660 Super or something like that

#

hah

#

1650 Super? those cheap?

#

aren't they about $150

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

It is far better than the 1060 3gb and in some games comes close to the 6gb model in performance

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:45 AM

yeah

#

sure you wouldn't want to recommend a 1660 Super for 1440p 144Hz consistent gameplay in LoL?

You could still play that game on a 1st gen dual core i5 with a GTX 750 😛

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

a 5700 is enough to drive the cutting edge of VR games on some of the nicest HMDs so it's pretty intense

you need 2x 8pin PCIe power connectors though

and a good power supply that can deliver power consistently

so, for the i5 6600k, would a Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming motherboard be sufficient?

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

yes it would be more than enough

#

DDR4 2666 should be your maximum RAM speed anyway I think, because on intel it's tied to your CPU

#

so your current motherboard might still be okay

#

i wouldn't bother replacing it right now

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

@wet moon Z370 supports 8th and 9th gen

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

they don't support skylake?

wet moon Dec 21, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

I'm not sure what gen my i5 6600k is 😦 sorry

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

it's a completely different pinout isn't it

#

6th gen

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

6th gen

#

So a Z170

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

you shouldn't need to replace your motherboard though

urban ferry Dec 21, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

what does z390 support?

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

8th and 9th

urban ferry Dec 21, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

wait wait wait

#

so is it better?

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

so 8xxx and 9xxx intel processors

#

your processor will not work

#

the pinout is totally different even though it's still LGA1151

wet moon Dec 21, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

😢

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

i'd suggest keeping your current motherboard

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

Zack the Z300 series works for 8th and 9th gen without any problems really

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

waiting to upgrade until you can upgrade your CPU is best

wet moon Dec 21, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

wouldn't adding a 2070 be overkill for the i5 6600k and the B150 PC Mate from MSI?

#

I supposed it'll be bottlenecked

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

2070 wouldn't be affected by the motherboard

#

but maybe a little by your CPU, though not by much!

#

i'd get an RX 5700 XT before a 2070 though unless you're a streamer

#

because it's like $100 less

#

even just a 5700

#

those are $330 at lowest

#

sometimes $300 on sale

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:57 AM

#

5700

#

the XT might bottleneck a bit

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

5700 is cheap and easy to get, and it would enable you to play games you never thought possible

wet moon Dec 21, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

just looking to play Destiny 2 on ultra at 1440p 144hz xD

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

and i say cheap, as in i'm on a fixed income and i could afford one cheap

wet moon Dec 21, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

that's all I want

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

you'll play other games sometimes

#

but yeah ultra 1440p 144Hz?

#

you might want an RX 5700

#

Destiny runs on ultra 1080p 60Hz on my adaptive sync monitor on my GTX 1650

#

but 1440p is something different entirely

wet moon Dec 21, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

ok so I keep the 2133mhz RAM, B150 PC Mate from MSI and the i5 6600k and just upgrade the GPU?

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

add 16GB of 2666 DDR4 RAM

#

upgrade GPU

#

that's it

#

you will have a good experience

#

replace the current RAM with that rather

#

you're gonna want 16GB to use a 5700

#

you want like double what's on the card at least

wet moon Dec 21, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

ok

#

thank you very much! 🙂 ❤️

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

it is a pleasure

#

make sure to get 2666

#

it will work faster for your overall system

#

including gaming

#

lots of transfers between GPU RAM and your system RAM happen

naive pendant Dec 21, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

dumb question but can i install motherboard drivers after installing windows

elfin warren Dec 21, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

Yes

#

Windows 10 will install everything you need to get started

#

install motherboard maker drivers after that

naive pendant Dec 21, 2019, 4:41 AM

#

ok thanks

elfin warren Dec 21, 2019, 4:41 AM

Welcome!

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

So the Ryzen 7 2700 is on sale on Newegg for 150$. Is this cpu viable for streaming and gaming?

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

yes

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

yeah

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

But if you are going to use an Nvidia card streaming would be better with that

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

Ah okay, thank you ☺️

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

what card were you planning on getting neon?

dusk oracle Dec 21, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

Just cause with Nvidia you can use the new NVENC and it would stream perfectly fine

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

I was looking at the 1660ti since that’s on sale at my local micro center for 250$

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

I mean thats pretty good if it goes back up get a 1660S tho

#

theres only a small difference between thgis

#

this*

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

I was told the supers were a flop, is it worth the extra $?

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

actually not from what ive seen

#

its basically 1660 with better memory than the Ti so in newer games it's better

#

and streaming

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

Ahh gotcha gotcha

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

yeah unless your playing non memory intensive stuff then get the Ti if it goes up

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

Idk if you’d know this on hand, but how does the Ryzen 7 2700 compare to the i5-8400?

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

blows it outta the watter

#

water*

#

I mean 8 core 16 thread to 4 core 4 thread

#

no competition

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

The 8400 is 6 core 6 thread so I didn’t know if it was close lol

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

Oh oop I thought the 400 series were the 4 core 4 thread

#

still tho

#

it only comes out A slight more ahead in very few games due to it having better single thread performance however Unless your only playing those games & aren't doing anything else on there R7 2700 is the way to go

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

Ah okay. The 8400 is what I have right now and didn’t know if it was viable for streaming. Thank you 🙂

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

Oh for streaming and gaming combined, bad idea also np

elfin warren Dec 21, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

It is if you have an Nvidia card

#

Can offload the stream to the gpu

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

My gpu is old asf and needs to get replaced soon 😂

elfin warren Dec 21, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

Ah

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

what is it rn?

elfin warren Dec 21, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

Still, throw some money at that and go nVidia for streaming. Let the gpu do the work

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

even still the ryzen 7 2700 is good a cpu and should be good for a while

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

I’ve had a gtx 950 since it came out, does fine in all the games I play but streaming anything more than CSGO is rough

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

yeah I got the rx 580 rn

#

tryna get either a 1660S or a Rx 5700/xt

#

since I got the 3700x

candid tendon Dec 21, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

Ah gotcha gotcha

wraith karma Dec 21, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

yeah

#

I got some much old PC parts I may just sell them and my current GPU to get the new GPU

misty belfry Dec 21, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

1660S i think is the better buy all around

#

also i'm getting a 2600X for $125

#

that's a deal

#

then waiting for the 3900X to go down to $300

long geyser Dec 21, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

RX580 to 1660S won't really be worth the upgrade. Perf isn't super amazingly different given the amount to be spent on the upgrade. 5700 or 5700XT would be worth the upgrade, despite the increased price

blazing trout Dec 22, 2019, 2:19 AM

#

What do you guys think is a good x570 board at a pretty decent price?

misty belfry Dec 22, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

i haven't ever used an X570 board, so i am frankly not sure, let me look at some reviews

quaint crystal Dec 22, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

gigabyte x570 elite and the asus x570 tuf are often suggested

misty belfry Dec 22, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157884 this if you're trying to get a really good price

#

some people here would yell out heresy and all sorts of stuff over recommending an ASRock but they do pretty well in the cheap sector

#

the motherboard has good features too

#

hmm no USB 3.1 or 3.2 ports

#

no USB-C ports

#

if those are important to you i'd say look elsewhere

#

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144262 and better

#

that MSI board is what i'm going to recommend if you want to save money, there is a lot of good to be found in that but i suggest you read the reviews

#

because there are a few bad reviews

#

and you need to weigh that against your decision

#

91% of the reviews are 4 or 5 stars however

#

and one of the 1 star reviews is complaining about RGB specifically

long geyser Dec 22, 2019, 3:37 AM

#

no

#

I wouldnt go x570 MSI

#

VRMs suck so badly

#

legit the same as their cheaper b450 lineup

#

but more expensive

#

Some high end MSI x570 isnt so bad tho. But low/mid end is a mess

misty belfry Dec 22, 2019, 3:40 AM

#

and what real world implications are there for less than stellar VRMs, I'll ask you since you're the one always talking about VRMs

#

i mean assuming they aren't going to kill a CPU or something

long geyser Dec 22, 2019, 3:42 AM

#

Mostly cuz Asus Prime X570-P is about $150 and has stellar VRMs

#

with x570 I expect a high end CPU, 3900x or 3950x. MSI's lower end x570 isnt super recommended with maxing out a 3950x on it

misty belfry Dec 22, 2019, 3:42 AM

#

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119199

#

next time i will google the VRMs before recommending a motherboard

long geyser Dec 22, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

For almost any cheap x570 Prime P is actually amazing

misty belfry Dec 22, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

also that's not a cheap board

#

it is an investment for the majority of people

long geyser Dec 22, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

note "cheap x570"

#

you can have a cheap 2080Ti being $1050 and an expensive 2080Ti being $1380

#

while $1050 isnt cheap, it is still more or less the cheapest 2080Ti

#

also back to x570, Asus TUF has mostly redeemed itself as well. Usually pretty good for the price as well for once (TUF series has been pretty 💩 the past while. It isnt back to the quality it use to be, but certainly getting there)

misty belfry Dec 22, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

i might actually buy an x570 mini-ITX board at a later date when i feel like upgrading my system, or i might not, not sure

#

i haven't even bought the B450

sterile zinc Dec 22, 2019, 8:01 AM

#

thinking about getting the asrock z390 steel legend, is it good?

misty belfry Dec 22, 2019, 8:07 AM

#

wait is that an intel board you're showing me?

#

excuse me

#

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119153 okay here's an intel board, try this on for size

misty belfry Dec 22, 2019, 10:26 AM

#

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145159 hah this is actually worse than the B450 board i bought that is nearly identical looking to it

#

it doesn't have a frontal M.2 slot, having one only on the back is terrible

#

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145086 well, i'm buying it in a week anyway

dusk oracle Dec 22, 2019, 11:02 AM

If I have a working R5 2600, is buying a B450 Tomahawk instead of the Tomahawk Max to couple with a R5 3600 a way to save some money ? (If I update the BIOS with the 2600 first)

#

I mean is the Tomahawk a good board (the non-max) Or is the Max version a big + and def worth it

elfin warren Dec 23, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

Reg tomahawk is fine.

fleet inlet Dec 23, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

I heard the Bios chipset is bigger on the Max version. The "smaller" bios on the ref version isn’t a problem right ? @elfin warren

elfin warren Dec 23, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

It's not a difference in size. The difference is having a backup bios instead of just one. Basically with the max if things go wrong you have a backup bios that you can use.

fleet inlet Dec 23, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

But normally things won’t go wrong with a 2600 right... I mean it’s still a solid board (I heard people - including you- say it’s decent)

elfin warren Dec 23, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

The regular tomahawk is fine. I don't see any reason to go with the max.

#

However, my personal opinion is that anyone going with a 3000 series should get an x570 motherboard. Right now there isn't a lot of products to support the pci-express generation 4 but that may change in the near future

fleet inlet Dec 23, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

I’m kind of on a tight budget so I think I might cop the Tomahawk then. Anyways, thanks for your advice, really did help me out !

elfin warren Dec 23, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

You're welcome! That's a very popular motherboard and it will work well
