Hey guys if theres bent mobo pins and you put the CPU in the mobo and turn it on, will anything happen. Will CPU still work coz I found a PC with bent mobo pins

dusk oracle Feb 10, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

it wont work

floral jetty Feb 10, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

I really really wouldn't recommend trying that

#

if you can bend the pins back though, it'd probably work

naive pendant Feb 10, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

But would the CPU work

dusk oracle Feb 10, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

the system wont even attempt to power on

floral jetty Feb 10, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

You said the mobo had bent pins

naive pendant Feb 10, 2020, 5:58 AM

I found on the side of the road

#

Yeah

floral jetty Feb 10, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

LOL

naive pendant Feb 10, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

I took out the CPU and there was bent mobo pins

floral jetty Feb 10, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

in a non-bent mobo, cpu might work

naive pendant Feb 10, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

Yeah I know that

#

I was wondering if the mobo would stuff up the cpu

dusk oracle Feb 10, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

It needs all its connections though

#

Can I use aura sync with gigabyte aorus pro X570

#

Or can I link aura sync and gigabyte rgb fusion

dusky flicker Feb 10, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

Depends the products that your are linking

spiral fulcrum Feb 10, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

For example

#

A RGB terminal

#

With lots of pins on it

#

Or maybe a fan?

dusky flicker Feb 10, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

With Corsair you can only use icue as far as I know. With gigabyte and asus MOST products that have the right connectors work with their software but not all of them do. You just have to do a little research.

spiral fulcrum Feb 10, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

Ok thanks

dusky flicker Feb 10, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

You’re welcome

oak sand Feb 10, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

@spiral fulcrum its a gigabyte product, therefore no ASUS aura sync

spiral fulcrum Feb 10, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

@oak sand what happens if I connect a aura sync rgb terminal

oak sand Feb 10, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Not sure. Probably wont work though

#

Get the asus tuf gaming x570(wifi)

#

It will link

oak sand Feb 10, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

And is the same price I believe @spiral fulcrum

misty belfry Feb 10, 2020, 8:58 PM

timetec is hynix so the quality is good anyway

#

hynix is only a concern if you have an HBM2 based GPU

#

read: vega variant

#

it overclocks poorly in that case

umbral valve Feb 10, 2020, 10:35 PM

what is the “red cpu light” i see people talking about on b450 boards

what's a "better" ram for a 2600x?

#

i got 3200mhzc16 geil super luce

dusky flicker Feb 11, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

That’s pretty good.

#

3200 MHz ram is good for ryzen 2000 series 3600 MHz is good for ryzen 3000 series.

#

And them sometimes the timings matters

umbral valve Feb 11, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

so no need to refund?

gritty meadow Feb 11, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

nope

dusky flicker Feb 11, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

No. And if all comes to fail you could always overclocking your ram. I have a team group kit that’s 2666 MHz but I have it run on 3000 MHz

Can I use F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC on MSI b450 tomahawk Max with ryzen 5 3600x ?
In gskill page couldn't find this mobo on qvl

main pulsar Feb 11, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

Sure

#

Qvls are generic, if you see any ram on the qvl that runs 3600 cl16, then these ones will too

#

I mean, they can't test EVERY stick of ram in existence

fossil helm Feb 11, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

Nice, that's realy tricky for the first built, which RAM to use, recomendations are different, still must find info if it has any problem, will calm down if won't find any isues with this RAMs on tomahawk Max 😊

Is OLOy ram good?

#

Hello guys

#

If we were to consider

#

Ryzen 5 3600 vs Ryzen 7 2700x which one will be better guys

#

Ryzen 7 has got 8 cores 16 threads and 4.3 GHz

#

But since it is 2nd generation does it make any difference

#

Or will it be better to go with a intel core i5 9600k processor

#

Help!

muted roost Feb 12, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Depends on the use case

#

What do you plan to use this pc for

#

Just gaming or do you plan to stream or do editing etc

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

Gaming streaming as well as editing

#

Because @muted roost. This is going to be my first ever PC in my life

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

2700x definetly

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

Hmm okay

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

well hold on

#

what GPU are you planning on getting

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

GTX 1660 super or rtx 2060

#

@urban ferry

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

alright

#

hmmm

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

Ehcih one can I go for graphics

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

so those two options both have NVENC encoding which can be used for streaming

#

so maybe the 2700x isnt better...

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

Okay

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

the 3600 is better for gaming as it has better single core performance, and if you leave the streaming up to the GPU, then you can use the processor for gaming rather than gaming/streaming

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

Hmm so going for 3600

#

Wut abt editing

#

Will it be good

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

mmmm

#

yeah

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

Okay

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

1080p footage?

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

?

#

Footage??

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

what resolution video will you be editing

#

oh wait

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

1080p

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

do you mean photo editing

#

nvm

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

No no video editing onky

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

got it

#

yeah, the 3600 will be good for that

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

Will Intel chipsets be good ??

#

Or better to be with amd

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

since its an AMD processor, you need an AMD board

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

Yup I knew

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

i would look for b450, x470, and x570 boards

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

If it is amd

#

I'm going for Asus b450 f

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

b450 and x470 both need bios updates to work with the 3600, but most boards should be up to date by now

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

Okay

#

So Intel chipsets are not good ryt

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

amd is better for price:performance right now

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

Okay

#

Graphic card bro

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

intel used to be better, but now they have to catch up lol

#

the 1660 super is comparable to my 1070 which can handle anything

#

2060 has rtx, but its not good for it.

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

Oh okay

#

But it has ray tracing know bro

#

And when I went to userbenchmsrk rtx was 13% better

#

Than gtx 1660 super

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

2060 cant handle RTX. It can, but like if youre fine at playing at 20fps LOL

#

thats what i would do

#

especially if its cheaper

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Bro what??

#

It is built for rtx only bro

#

Then why can't it handle its own rtx

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

its like trying to run ios 13 on an iphone 6

#

it will work, but not well

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Oh okay

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

that make sense?

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Yup

#

I mean no

#

So better to go with gtx 1660 super

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

yes

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

Got it

#

We should install Nvidia drivers ryt??

#

For recording

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

huh?

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

GeForce experience

#

We should install ryt

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

what does ryt mean

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

Right??

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

ah

#

well, geforce experience isnt necessary, but it is sorta nice

#

for driver updates

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

Okay

#

But what should we use for recording

#

You told some NVEC

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

ah yeah

#

NVENC

golden owl Feb 12, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

We should download it from the internet

urban ferry Feb 12, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

im not sure exactly how it works, youd have to ask somebody else. All i know is that NVENC is good for streaming and takes the pressure off the CPU lol

long geyser Feb 12, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

NVENC is the encoder type. Using it only needs the drivers and some recording software (OBS, Streamlabs, Shadowplay, etc).

#

Experience isnt needed for that

hello everyone! thinking of starting a new build (first one in about 10 years haha) there are alot of mobo out there now and iv been researching, but was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction with some recommendations! thinking of using amd ryzen 2700x, if it makes a difference, and im personally building the case so can build to specs

cerulean nova Feb 12, 2020, 2:32 AM

depending on your budget i would go with the tomahawk

Question - Intel i9-9900KS vs i9-9900K

i9-9900KS has been released!
It’s Intel’s best consumer CPU!
But how good is it compared to the i9-9900K?
Well, it’s anywhere between 1% to 8% depending on the application.
It’s definitely more power hungry.

The warranty is just 12 months, instead of 36!

now lets just hope it stays there

#

still not on pcpp

umbral valve Feb 14, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

it’s on amazon tho

#

microcenter should sell 1600 af for like $40/50

gritty meadow Feb 14, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

why?

#

why exactly should any retailer gut their profits when there are people willing to pay the price?

trying to build a budget mATX build, is the B450M PRO4 a good mobo?

tacit hemlock Feb 14, 2020, 2:03 PM

I'm pretty sure microcenter guts their profits to get people into their store. I dont think they offer that price online.

umbral valve Feb 14, 2020, 5:33 PM

@coral owl a lot of people don’t like asrock software and it seems msi has the lead on b450 products

ah

what are some good msi b450 boards out there?

@coral owl budget?

coral owl Feb 14, 2020, 6:01 PM

hmm

#

id say $100 or below for the board

and my budget for my pc is $500~$600

Why msi?

#

@coral owl

coral owl Feb 14, 2020, 6:05 PM

🤷‍♂️

it doesnt have to be msi

There's one Asus b450 board ppl like to recommend for it's sound card

@coral owl two options that're good
b450 Asus TUF Pro Gaming (not to be confused with Plus Gaming)
b450 Gigabyte Aorus Pro WiFi

dusk oracle Feb 14, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

Or buy any board and get a better sound card installed 😛

long geyser Feb 14, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

yeah. but why get a board that is meh at its price point when you can get more for your money? sound chip is just one of the many reasons as to why tomahawk isnt super amazing for its price. Things like amount of M2 slots, amount of PCIe slots, WiFi, ethernet controller, how many of 12v/5v RGB headers, and USB ports

@spice relic srry i wasnt talking to you

@main pulsar I'm not sure, I will have to check. Do you think putting it into an anti-static bag and then putting it in a padded envelope will be fine? 6700k no pins

Ok

yeah, thats totally fine

Awesome, thank you!

main pulsar Feb 15, 2020, 5:39 AM

just bubble wrap it up and put it in a bubble mailer

if it were pga, it would be a little more difficult tho

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i disagree with that

oh wait nvm i misread

i thought you said put a mobo in static bag and in envelope

but yeah just wrap it well it should be fine

nah, cpu, static bag, bubbl wrap, bubbl mailer

i was worried cause ive seen mail that should not be bent, forced bent to fit in my mailbox.

that clearly said "do not bend"

ive seen that too

well, it was my own mail lmao

which is one heck of a world away from the starting point

and reallly good job @main pulsar on finding that viewsonic

that is a silly good price for it

main pulsar Feb 15, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

it was a killer deal lmao

#

i assume he just wanted a small pc?

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 6:36 AM

no availability and shipping made the cheapest board that fit the requirements an ITX one

main pulsar Feb 15, 2020, 6:36 AM

heh

#

interesting

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 6:36 AM

very

#

and he ended up saying he wanted/liked the Fractal design style (in general)

#

he had settled on accepting the price for the define mini c

main pulsar Feb 15, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

they make sleek cases

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

which is not a cheap case (125 aud)

#

and then the mainboard stuff happended, and node304 ended up the choice

#

and he is going to go out and try some mice/keyboards at local retailers to get an actual feel for them

main pulsar Feb 15, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

good idea

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

and then order/price-check online

#

that is why there is a fairly hefty reserve for that

#

although i think he is going to end up using more than that

#

i would like to show you the abomination of a list he came back with today btw

availability is so bloody wonky over there

especially when you remove newegg from the options of retailers

because shipping

how much of a chance is there for ram to get damaged if i dropped them from ~1m while those were in their plastic packaging

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

just about zero chance

#

but there is a chance

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

it's been on my mind for a while, i was slightly worried

#

i would be worried a lot more if one of those dropped while not in packaging, and if they had hit the pins

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

there are not "pins" as such on ram

#

its contact pads

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

oh yeah

#

right

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

here is something for you to think about

#

you have a ssd?

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

yes

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

2.5 or m.2?

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

an m.2 ssd

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

okay, those are a bit more fragile

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

yes

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

so lets take a 2.5 ssd

#

IF the case if hard enough, you can use it as a hammer

#

i am not joking

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

even though i knew those are hard to damage in such a way, i was still concerned

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

the "be carefull" warnings/labels that are on things are there because people run around with their head in the attic and their feet in a different country

#

components in the consumer space are quite durable

#

and by quite, i mean, very

#

BUT, you have to remember, it is still mass production

#

"stuff" happens

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

sadly i will have to struggle a bit with the m.2 drive packaging

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

hm?

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

it's in place very well, but it's hard to get out

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

cut the top of it

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

yeah i know i could do that

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

its a clear double plastic case right?

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

no

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

which model is it?

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

that'd be simple to get out

#

its a pny cs3030

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

that "looks" like a regular cardboard box with a antistatic bag?

#

so what are you actually worried about there?

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

nothing really

#

also its not in an antistatic bag

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

and?

#

just one less item to throw away :)

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

true

#

im pretty sure i have to keep the packaging if i plan on reselling it a few years later

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

that is your choice.

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

yes

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

i have never had that problem here locally

mind, i am also in EU

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

im also living in europe

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

then the box should not be a problem

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

still, if i would buy used hardware, i'd probably want to get it's box too, so im just going to keep it just in case

also, on the topic about being nervous about parts and packaging.

those are cpu trays

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

yes

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

now imagine a pallet with them on it

#

as in, the kind you move with a forklift

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

intel cpu's are harder to damage because they have pads, not pins

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

that is the method for ALL vendors

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

it isnt a big issue on amd cpu's either if they're on trays too

#

yes

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

no matter pins/pads/pogos

#

point being, there is no padding, there is nothing

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

i see

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

you get them like that, you store them like that

#

and you pray to whatever you believe in that whoever moves the pallet knows what they are doing

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

i'd be a lot more worried if that person handled hdd's roughly

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

hahaha :D

#

you would not like being in a warehouse with components :)

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

actually, i would

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

hdd's that are not powered on are just fine, they can handle a LOT of punishment

#

the point of all this: Dont worry so much about the components, they are durable enough

spring terrace Feb 15, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

alright

@oak sand haha well I'm pretty certain I'd like to get a Ryzen 5 2600 processor. I'm not sure what all I should be looking at as far as motherboards go. I guess there is a A320 or B450 that tend to pop up, but I'm not really sure which one to go with, or brand, or any of the specs or whatever.

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

@green swan what is your total budget?

green swan Feb 15, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

for the motherboard, I'm thinking less then $150. Is that reasonable?

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

its plenty

#

but try and put forth a total budget for all the parts you want to get

#

if that is 600usd? fine. if it is 2000usd? fine.

#

but having a general idea about what you have available, will help us (people here) give you sensible advice

#

@unkempt tinsel i see you plotting?

green swan Feb 15, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

So the Ryzen 5 2600 shows for $120 on newegg, I'm planning on getting the $60 ripjaws 288 pin 2x 8GB memory cards, and then the motherboard. I think that's all I need for right now.

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

@green swan do you need wifi?

#

IF you do, then the total will be about 15 usd higher than this.

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MmrFdm

System Builder

#

but that is a suggestion for parts @green swan

oak sand Feb 15, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

@green swan the 2600x is 80 at microcenter

green swan Feb 15, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

Will there be much difference between a "Micro" motherboard and a normal one? Is that just size?

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

for your outlined use? it is just a question of size

#

and that is the cheapest board that gets you okay things

green swan Feb 15, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

OK cool, thanks! I think I can go from here. Thanks all, I appreciate the help!

gritty meadow Feb 15, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

you are very welcome

#

keep this in mind, if you show this to people that make a bunch of assumptions about what you are going to do with the machine, you will hear a lot a noise about the mainboard being wrong etc etc etc. I guarantee you, it is not. is if perfectly functional for you @green swan

#

and you are very welcome to send the people that might complain over here

i will, if nothing else, be entertaining.

mighty rover Feb 16, 2020, 3:29 AM

hey guys
I wanna ask about RAMs, i want to know if it's worth to buy G.skill with timing 16-16-16-36 over one with 16-19-19-39? even if the gap between them is over 100$, and this is their links
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232860
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232861
they are the same as i saw when i compared them, the only diff is timing, and idk if spending 100$ for a bit better timing is gonna be worth it
im planning to use it on ryzen 3900x or 3950x
also, is it fine to use any other RAMs with 16-16-16-36 timing? if they are other cheaper options, or this RAMs from g.skill are giving the best performance for AMD?

main pulsar Feb 16, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

its not worth it

#

at all

#

i dont think it matters what your doing with your system, tightening timings is for enthusiast bragging rights and minimal gains

buoyant relic Feb 16, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

I have a question.
Would it be easier to buy 3600 memory or overclock 3200?

quaint current Feb 16, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

depends on what die it is and how well its binned

hollow thorn Feb 16, 2020, 6:01 AM

#

Reasoning being not all 3200 ram can be overclocked to higher frequency

mild jackal Feb 16, 2020, 7:48 AM

#

@naive pendant is one of the higher bins of b-die /ddr4 in general.
Stock XMP at 3200 14 14 14 34 is great as is, but those kits are very flexible to manual OC.

mighty rover Feb 16, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

@main pulsar thank you

copper badge Feb 16, 2020, 9:03 PM

Should I go with the ryzen 3600 or 3700x?

#

Both are within budget

#

It's going to be primarily for gaming

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

@copper badge what is the tradeoff you are making elsewhere in that system?

because the 130 usd difference between those should enable other things. [Edit: -should]

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

so, what other reason do you have?

copper badge Feb 16, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Is there a sale on it

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

no

#

that is a x570 board

#

look at the price history of that board

#

it is the semi-expensive part of its price history

copper badge Feb 16, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

Okay

#

I was thinking of the PG X

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

what else beyond pci-4, do you think you will use from that board on your list?

copper badge Feb 16, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

Definitely not a 2.5 gigabit port

#

The 1 should do

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

what are you talking about?

copper badge Feb 16, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

Ethernet ports

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

the Taichi board only has 1, 1gb port

copper badge Feb 16, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

Exactly

#

I'm just saying I'm not gonna need more than that

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

odd way of saying.

#

what else is worth it then?

copper badge Feb 16, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Im also planning on OCing a bit

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

then your premise for asking about which cpu is wrong.

copper badge Feb 16, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Boost up the CPU to 4 ghz

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

because you had not specced for at cooler at the start

copper badge Feb 16, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Oh right

#

I mean a good air cooler

#

Would work

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

70+usd is used on that

quaint current Feb 16, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

also 850w is overkill bump it down to 750w

@gritty meadow Do you have time to help me understand something

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:27 PM

@tacit hemlock i have time, i cannot guarantee that i can help, but ask away :)

tacit hemlock Feb 16, 2020, 9:28 PM

Im sure you can help :p
So we talked like a week ago. I was telling you my plans to upgrade my motherboard and cpu to a ryzen based one

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

@lilac stream sadly, i have no experience with that software. so no help from my end on that.

#

@tacit hemlock go on :)

tacit hemlock Feb 16, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

I don't fully understand the process on the software end because ive heard conflicting reports

#

I am going from an intel core i5 6400 and a prebuilt mobo so im sure that i can't just plug and play with the new components

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

nope, only thing that can potentially be used is GPU, Stoarge and ODD's

#

maybe case/psu. but quite unlikely

tacit hemlock Feb 16, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

I recently did a case and psu swap in anticipation of this change so theyrre compatible now

gritty meadow Feb 16, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

ok

lilac stream Feb 16, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

do you think that a different mobo would help i have a msi b350 tomahawk rn

tacit hemlock Feb 16, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

I don't know what to do with my copy of windows, my data, and my drivers, nor do i know how to perform these changes

Budget bored for Ryzen 7 2700?

tacit hemlock Feb 17, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

@gritty meadow hi again. So real quick I wanted to point this out. The asus tuf mATX board we decided on only supports memory up to 3200 mhz so there would be no point in getting the 3600mhz RIP jaw set right?

gritty meadow Feb 17, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

that is the old support page

#

that hasnt been updated

#

it will work. and as mentioned, that memory is so cheap (right now) that it does not make sense to go with anything but that 3600 memory @tacit hemlock

tacit hemlock Feb 17, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

Alright lol thanks again

#

👍

gritty meadow Feb 17, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

you are very welcome :) and please remember, there are no stupid questions, only silly answers :)

tacit hemlock Feb 17, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

Sounds good

rocky thicket Feb 17, 2020, 6:02 AM

#

hello everyone. I have a question and I am new to Ryzen 5. I've noticed when i play certain games, my cpu memory went up to 12000MHz. all background programs are not running at all. so i am not really sure why. Does my game become slower with this cpu memory. Thank you in advance.

#

edit. sorry i said it wrong. my cpu clock when playing games is 4100mhz. and ram 12000mhz. are those numbers ok when playing games?

oak sand Feb 17, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

Ram isnt that fast @rocky thicket

#

Thats literally impossible for ram

#

But for the cpu, simplify it to ghz so it would be 4.1

#

Which is normal

hollow thorn Feb 17, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

12000 what the hecc

oak sand Feb 17, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

Right

hollow thorn Feb 17, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

you sure its not 1200?

oak sand Feb 17, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

Thats what thinkin

hollow thorn Feb 17, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

tho 1200 is VERY low for ram, unless you're on ddr3

but ryzen is on ddr4

#

I dont even think theres 1200mhz ddr4 ram

#

oh wait

oak sand Feb 17, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

He underclocked it

hollow thorn Feb 17, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

unless they have like 4x8 gb sticks of 3000mhz, and they're adding the mhz maybe?

oak sand Feb 17, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Oh true

hollow thorn Feb 17, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

@oak sand I'm pretty sure 2133 is the lowest ddr4 goes, even if you try to underclock, I remember that as the lowest option you can set it to, at least in MSI bios

oak sand Feb 17, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Yeah it is

hollow thorn Feb 17, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

tacit hemlock Feb 17, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

So um apparently they sold out of the tuf motherboard last night and the ram went up in price so I guess I'll be waiting for a little bit now @gritty meadow

long geyser Feb 17, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

Could be 1200 actual clock, 2400 effective clock

hollow thorn Feb 17, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

could be that too, tho I wonder where they are getting the info from

#

like hwinfo? or like task manager?

tacit hemlock Feb 17, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

What's better, 3200mhz at 16-18-18-36 timing or 3600mhz at 16-19-19-39

midnight pollen Feb 17, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

I would say 16-18-18-36 I think

long geyser Feb 17, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

3600 one

tacit hemlock Feb 17, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

Is it really a big enough difference to notice?

long geyser Feb 17, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

depends on what you do and what your CPU is

tacit hemlock Feb 17, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

R5 3600

#

Mostly games

long geyser Feb 17, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

So average FPS will be close to same but lows will be better. So basically less stuttering

tacit hemlock Feb 17, 2020, 7:47 PM

What would cause a red light on my motherboard to randomly come on and play a 3 beep POST code on startup. Can still boot into windows perfectly fine without issues. No crashes or anything. Ran for hours on high settings gaming without issues. Tried different RAM, bios update,clearing CMOS, and a fresh install. MB is ASUS prime x470 pro.

midnight pollen Feb 17, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

Not sure about 3 beep but a 1 long 3 short beep could be an issue with gpu, like not enough power

gritty meadow Feb 17, 2020, 10:24 PM

it does not

it just means that intel paid money to have that sticker there

there is memory sticks that have both the intel version of that, and the amd verison

on the same package

the whole "supported" sticker stuff is imo bs.

Like "ryzen optimised"

gritty meadow Feb 17, 2020, 10:36 PM

because there is no manufacturer that would make a set of sticks for the consumer market that doesnt work with everything

@naive pendant Whether you get b450 or x570 is eh for the bandwidth. There isnt any decent Gen4 compatible extenders for it as realistically any increased wiring length can get screwy with Gen4 You'd be best off with b450 as the default gen mode would be set to 3 and thus no annoying issues will occur with it. If you get x570 you have a very, very, high chance of needing to set it to gen3 manually in BIOS

@oak sand don't compare chipsets for motherboard quality. X370 as a chipset is better then b450

📎 Screenshot_20200219-061711.jpg

#

When giving reasons to buy/not buy something you need to make sure it's correct. Like instead of that you could say for the same price you could get a newer and better board

List out what is good/bad is also something to notice. (haven't checked but examples) like say maybe the sound chips isn't that good, VRMs are meh, and maybe BIOS sucks, idk

waxen marsh Feb 19, 2020, 12:01 PM

#

#

Are you using Icue @waxen marsh

waxen marsh Feb 19, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

@weak hamlet sorry, but no i've been using mystic light so i can sync all the color

weak hamlet Feb 19, 2020, 12:41 PM

#

that couold be the issue.

#

that or the actual led went out and will need to be rma's

urban ferry Feb 19, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

my ram's colors go crazy too, but i found that controlling it with icue worked best

waxen marsh Feb 19, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

surprise

#

now the light is on but one of the ram that is not broken change it's color while the broken one is static

#

now it's fixed thx

#

@long geyser my bad, but at 200$ you may as well just buy an x570

sage sequoia Feb 19, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

@urban ferry what's your mobo?

msi mpg z390 gaming edge ac

sage sequoia Feb 19, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

You tried mystic? Only issue I had is the ram color change is a bit delayed compared to the rest of the system.

urban ferry Feb 19, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

icue and mystic light fought over control

long geyser Feb 19, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

@oak sand yeah, def use that price to perf point instead

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

@gritty meadow can you help me again when you get the chance

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

ask away @tacit hemlock

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

So... i hate to be a thorn in your side but i was gonna buy the mobo today and either i can't find it or it went up 30 bucks in price

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

:)

#

paste the build list?

#

and dont worry about it :)

it is just out of stock

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

alright so should i wait

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

well, lets start by actually making that list useful :)

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

lol ok

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

which parts have you already purchased?

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

...none

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

okay

#

then, could you explain why there are 2 ram sets on it?

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

ya sry i forgot to get that trident outta there

#

im not getting the trident

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

i will fix things up and post a link at the end of our chat, okay?

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

sounds good

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

what was your budget again?

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

for which parts?

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

oh yeah, you are the one that has some of them already?

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

I was planning on 300 for the R5 3600 and mobo combined

#

yes sir thats me

#

i have everything but the mobo cpu and ram

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

okay, let me just fix that up then :)

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

Thx

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RQVLdm <- that list should show things as purchased

System Builder

#

can you confirm that @tacit hemlock

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Looks good

#

i didn't know you could do that😂

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

now, i seem to remember that your audio gear was mini jack based?

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

correct

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

okay, this will take a bit, i have to find a replacement board with the same chip.

#

5-10 minutes and i should have an answer

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

ok take your time

#

take 15! 🙂

long geyser Feb 20, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

15?... 15 years maybe?

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

15 decades perhaps

long geyser Feb 20, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

15 millennia

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:21 AM

15 eons

long geyser Feb 20, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

15 15s

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

there are 2 boards that are options.

#

one is a m-atx

#

one is a atx

#

the m-atx one is already on your list, and is currently out of stock

#

it costs 95

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

ok

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

the other is a ATX version of the same board, that costs 120

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

ok could you send it to me?

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

that is the direct link for it

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

ok so no main difference between the boards besides size right?

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

that is the only difference (that matters to you)

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

ok is this the same one?

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

yes

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

ok

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

keep in mind the shipping

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

So do you think i should wait for a restock or just get it over with and get the atx

#

it has free shipping for me

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

that is your call 100%

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

ok

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ddm7sk <- that is the list with the ATX board

System Builder

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

Technically... the atx board is better in that fact of more pcie slots and such, whether i need them or not, right?

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

"technically a big barn is better" <- that is the same question :)

#

:)

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

lol i guess so. i only have a few cows so i guess i don't need that big of a barn 🙂

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

aye

#

but like any farmer, you like to think you need ALL the space :)

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

So, i know for 100% the two boards for me (I will not be closing those tabs) and i guess ill give it a few days to restock

#

I think ill still buy the cpu tho

#

because its on sale rn

#

I like mATX boards a little better now anyway

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

you can use the different lists

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

ya

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

aye, get the cpu

#

and perhaps lurk a bit on the ram

#

it goes up and down a bit

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

Thats the plan

#

ok well thanks again

#

you should get paid for this :p

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

:)

#

you are very welcome @tacit hemlock

tacit hemlock Feb 20, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

have a good one

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

likewise :)

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

and hello again @fossil bridge

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

hello

#

basically im asking what atx board i should get for a r5 2600

#

oc'd to 4.1ghz

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

the OC part is not something that can be promised.

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

thats ok

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

do you currently have it OC'ed?

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

yes

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

then, save the money and be happy

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

so just keep my current board then

#

?

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

yes

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

okay

#

thanks

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

save the money and buy something later on, fx a better cpu next year or something.

#

or a better psu

#

or gpu

#

just dont invest in something that only gives you a bigger board

#

especially not when you dont have to :)

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

it would also give more ram slots too

#

mine only has 2 rn

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

aye, i know

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

okay

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

but do you "need" the ram?

#

or do you "want" the ram?

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

i dont need it atm

#

16 has been fine

#

but it would be nice just in case yk?

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

that is "want" running around screaming "need" at the top of its lungs :)

#

also known as the "ooooh! shiny!" part of all builders :)

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

true

crude path Feb 20, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

im gunna take arctic's side here cause MATX in a full atx case looks bad imo. i bought a new mobo just for looks lol. why would you say no to just getting a new mobo? i would assume if he can oc on a b450m he could do that same oc on an x470 right?

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

but yeah, save the money, mark it as "for pc parts" and keep saving up

#

there is no promise about that @crude path

crude path Feb 20, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

i like to build for looks tho anGroovin

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

and as i said above, that is "want" running around

#

you dont actually "need" it

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

ye

#

i dont need it yet at least lol

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

there are plenty of other things that could be upgraded way before the mainboard

crude path Feb 20, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

well yeah and that was my case too. i went to microcenter on a whim and the mobo i wanted dropped from like 150 to 110

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

a bigger ssd would be nice for you

crude path Feb 20, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

i was like "STEAL"

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

im planning on swapping the hdd with an ssd

#

and bigger boot

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

aye, that sounds sensible, i would still keep the hdd around thou.

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

oh i am

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

just tell windows to let it spin down

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

lol

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

hey, i have 4 hdd in my case here

#

with ssds too ofc

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

i was planning on throwing it into another pc for storage/streaming

#

even though i have like 3 other hdds for it lol

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

:)

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

though i would like to have a few hdds in my current build

#

i currently have one in the 3.5" spot and one just resting on my gpu atm

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

i solve that, by having external docks

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

true true

#

speaking of

#

i need to move the other hdd

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

enjoy :)

fossil bridge Feb 20, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

well remove it

#

anyways thanks for the help nayuSway

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

you are very welcome :)

tulip talon Feb 20, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

What’s the best budget mobo for Ryzen 7 2700 that’s a tax board

#

Atx

fleet inlet Feb 20, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

Are there some mobo ‘features’ / ‘specs’ you particularly need / want

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

@tulip talon that depends entirely on your budget.

tulip talon Feb 20, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Let’s just say like 120$ for it

#

That’s my budget lol

#

I was think about the rog strix bored for 125$ is it any good?

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

fairly overpriced IF you dont actually take advantage of what it offers

#

is there any particular reason that the board has to be ATX?

tulip talon Feb 20, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

Idk if the td500 mesh white supports it or I’m just dumb

#

@gritty meadow

fleet inlet Feb 20, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

That case supports ATX but also M-ATX boards.

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

@tulip talon the TD500 as @fleet inlet said, supports ATX, M-ATX, ITX, so there is no problem there.

tulip talon Feb 20, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

Ok cool what would be a good one tho either or

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

we still need an answer for the question @fleet inlet asked earlier

#

"Are there some mobo ‘features’ / ‘specs’ you particularly need / want"

#

because without some details, we cannot suggest anything

loud adder Feb 20, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

Hello all, I was looking to upgrade my motherboard. I have an i5-9400f and I don't know which motherboards I should look for that support it

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

why do you want to upgrade you mainboard?

loud adder Feb 20, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

One of the reasons is the ram is limited to 2666mhz

#

Another PCI Express slot would be useful as well

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

memory speed aint really going to help you all that much

#

just saying.

loud adder Feb 20, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

So I've been told haha. But either way, I still would like to look for a new one

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

next question: what will you use an extra pci-e port for?

#

(and i am not trying to deny you an answer, i am just trying to make certain that there is actual logic behind a potential upgrade)

loud adder Feb 20, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

Potentially sli gpus at some point

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

sli is a dead tech

#

buy a faster single gpu

#

not a joke.

loud adder Feb 20, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

Tru. The main focus here is just wanting a newer motherboard that has faster DDR4 speeds. And more m.2 slots would be useful as I only have one

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

it is your money

#

but that sounds like "want" screaming at the top of lungs while waving a "need" flag

tulip talon Feb 20, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

I look for 64 gb maybe m.2 slot and just a motherboard that’s gonna last and rgb would be nice

gritty meadow Feb 20, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

the socket you need is 1151, the trick is to remember to look at the mainboard and check that they have 9th gen cpu support.
