nice nice

#

yeah ive had people tell me to buy 3600 ram at LEAST for my 2600x

#

and i read the description and was confused

crude path May 23, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

nah youd be fine with 3000 or 3200.

#

3600 is just a nice to have for 2000 chips imo

charred venture May 23, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

in case of upgrades?

#

or for oc

crude path May 23, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

well that, but also if you can utilize it it will help a bit.

charred venture May 23, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

aight good to know

crude path May 23, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

but again, your mobo has to support it too. lot of people been trying to OC and then their pc wont post.

June 8th isn't that bad actually

gritty patio May 23, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

so its worth?

#

i saw it there but i thinking it'll go in stock somewhere and i'll get it before then but i think not

#

but thats availability not the actual ship date

tacit hemlock May 23, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

#

Id get it

gritty patio May 23, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

okok thx

#

one last thing

#

its that i bought a used asrock mb off of amazon and so it doesnt come with a manufacturer warranty

#

so i only have 30 days to return it the day i receive it

#

so since it says i'll get it on May 27 that means i have until june 26 to try it out and make sure everything runs fine

#

so what do yall think?

#

will i get the 3300x in time for just get the 3600

#

and i'd be getting it for around $157 without tax

#

@tacit hemlock @hollow thorn

#

:)))

hollow thorn May 23, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

If you can get 3600 for like 160$, and it fits in your budget, it's a nice to have

tacit hemlock May 23, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

And a 3600 still slightly outperforms a 3300x games in iirc

#

Or maybe thats a 3100 I forgot

gritty patio May 23, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

yeah amazon is having this deal where you buy a $50 giftcard and get a $15 credit so i'd apply it to the 3600

#

maybe if it'll stop going up in price peepoSadSip

#

thx btw

Looking for some help for my friend who just bought a Ryzen 3700x paired with an ASUS ROG Strix x570-e and corsair vengeance lpx 16gb 3600mhz. He's trying to enable XMP or DOCP for the ram and his system will not post.

tribal ginkgo May 23, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

Maybe try just overclocking the ram to 3600 instead of using s profile @alpine light

#

A profile*

#

Those kinda stink imo

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

What stinks?

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

XMP and DOCP

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

So what he'll have to manually edit everything?

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

it should be pretty straightforward if he looks at the spec sheet of the RAM

#

IIRC

#

just setting the settings to what the RAM uses

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

I'll relay that to him.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:25 AM

It's stuff like this that keeps me from going Ryzen, unfortunately.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

I've had no problems

#

R5 1600, R5 2600, and for a short time R5 3600 before switching again to a R5 2600 for budget reasons

#

so I've had 4 ryzen builds, all worked flawlessly

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

This poor guys just upgraded to a 3700x with that board and ram + a 2070 and his gaming performance is like, incredibly inconsistent.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

other than my 1600 PC, but that was because of me buying crap RAM

#

did he check the QVL for the RAM?

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

And I feel bad for him cause I'm over here with my 9700k/2070 super getting literally 240 rock solid.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

for the motherboard?

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

QVL?

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

yes

#

it's a compatability list

#

what motherboard does he have?

#

and what ram?

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

Well he's no tech novice so I'm going to say I think so but I can't give a definitive yes.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

well, I'm not a tech novice by any means, and I NEVER check the QVL

but it's ususally best to

Asus ROG Strix x570-e

#

And one sec.

#

Yea

#

VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C14 AMD Ryzen Memory Kit - Black

#

This shouldn't be an issue for him.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:32 AM

#

so, it looks like it should be supported

#

probably ™️

#

Hmm

#

what CPU is he using again?

#

nvm

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

3700x

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

He might just have gotten a bad part

#

I dunno

#

it should be compatible

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

It boots if he doesn't try to enable the advertised frequencies.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

hmmm

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

If he tries to use either pre-designed mode it won't post.

#

I don't know what he's tried for manually clocking it.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

tell him to try to manually set the settings

#

cuz he got very expensive, nice RAM

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

But his FPS in games is terribly inconsistent and we believe it's a result of very low ram speed.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

and yeah, that will do it with Ryzen

#

tell him to get MemCheck or whatever too

#

if he is nerd enough

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

Free utility to test the ram?

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

MemTest

#

yeah

#

after setting the settings, he should run MemTest64 from his BIOS off a USB stick

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

I swore I wouldn't rest till I found an answer for him. Then I went to sleep. Now I'm here.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

if there is a problem still, assuming he does everything right, then it might be a bad stick or RAM or something

boreal cargo May 23, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

It could just not run that fast with his hardware it's by no means garenteed to run as it's overclocked ram

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

you must have missed something Thuraya

#

he can't get his XMP profile to work

#

even though it's the right profile for the RAM

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

It's specifically advertised as VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C14 AMD Ryzen Memory Kit - Black

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

so the RAM is running at a lower speed than advertised

#

even though it's compatible as well

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Rated for that speed specifically with Ryzen architecture.

#

It's very doubtful it isn't supported.

boreal cargo May 23, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

Doesn't matter 3600 is overclocked sure it might work but it by no means has to

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

the motherboard supports it, the RAM is rated for it

#

it should work

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

I don't think you understand how product advertisement works.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

if it doesn't, it's a defective product, or false advertising

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

If they list it as Ryzen specific 3600mhz ram then yes, it IS guaranteed to run at that speed.

boreal cargo May 23, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

Not false advertising at all 3600 isn't ddr4 spec and only works if mobo and cpu are willing to run the oc

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

Yea that's not how that works.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

lmao

boreal cargo May 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

It's exactly how it works

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

last I checked, it's not how law works

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

If I go buy some extra ram at micro center this morning and it won't run at 3200mhz as advertised, they'll replace it no questions asked.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

because it's defective

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

So I'm gonna have to go with you're wrong.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

he IS right that it's technically an overclock, but he is wrong on the false advertising and the "not guaranteed" stuff

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

What IS true is if he bought two separate sticks they may not work with each other and therefor not be gauranteed.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

3600 is indeed not the BASE spec

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

But if you buy them in a set they are rated for those speeds with those grouped sticks. Aka dual or quad channel memory.

#

You might as well just stop because you're not correct.

boreal cargo May 23, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

Should be is not garenteed

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

Ok let me explain a different way.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

🍿

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

When I bought my 9700k it's base clock is what, 3.6ghz? If it doesn't peak at stock settings at the 4.9ghz on a single core like it is ADVERTISED that it can attain, I can RMA it, why? Because that's how advertising works buddy.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

xD

boreal cargo May 23, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

Sigh...... Thevram doesn't get to decide if it boots at it's rated speed there could be a less than ideal trace on the mobo or a weaker memory controler on cpu stopping the system from running 3600

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

yes, but he is using a supported RAM on supported Motherboard on supported CPU

boreal cargo May 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Doesn't mean you're garenteed to hit overclocked ram speed

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Is it possible he could adjust voltages? I've read that sometimes with Ryzen it needs a different fixed boot voltage for the ram and then it will function off the normal DOCP profile once fully booted.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

the CPU states is supports higher than 3600, the motherboard states is supports higher than 3600, and the RAM states is supports 3600.

#

that means, either someone is falsly advertising, or something is defective

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

He doesn't get it.

naive pendant May 23, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

IKR?

alpine light May 23, 2020, 10:48 AM

maybe a RX 570?

yeah, you can get a RX 570 8GB

or a 580 8GB

In order to assure the potential for 4K at 60 FPS, does the motherboard itself need to have HDMI 2.0, or would it be possible as long as the GPU has HDMI 2.0?

hollow thorn May 23, 2020, 4:34 PM

GPU and monitor both need to support htmi 2.0

rich sphinx May 23, 2020, 4:37 PM

@deft phoenix
Just need an am4 socket. If you want to have upgrade options, buy a b450, x460, or x570... Or wait for the b550 series

#

It terms of brands... It's your choice. Just get one with the features you want. You'll pay more for stuff like wifi, but you probably don't wanna buy the cheapest Mobo possible for a 3950x. I'd buy a higher end rig board for OC at that point

hollow thorn May 24, 2020, 6:29 AM

Of course

#

A good x570 Mobo is ~200 usually

#

And if your budget doesn't allow for that, good B450 mobos are ~120

i can definitely do 200-375

hollow thorn May 24, 2020, 6:31 AM

i saw that the
Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero is like the most i should get

hollow thorn May 24, 2020, 6:31 AM

The highest end mobos are only really for looks

#

Usually you'll spend like 200$ more for maybe 1 or 2 features

deft phoenix May 24, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

haha is it bad that the look of a mobo bothers me enough to buy something more expensive

the asus prime seems good im mainly looking at 570 mobos with good ethernet ports

Ordered the MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC on amazon. Was sent the B450 tomahawk max instead. Now the carbon is out of stock. Is it worth keeping this motherboard? Or disputing and chancing not being able to get a good mobo for a while?

hollow thorn May 25, 2020, 5:13 PM

the heck

#

@gleaming fog dispute it for sure

#

those are completely different boards

tomahawk max is a board worth like 120$, carbon ac 160$

The sad part is that it was on sale for $142... now I'll have to pay full price @hollow thorn

hollow thorn May 25, 2020, 5:16 PM

Well, you paid 140 for a 120$ board right now

So paying full price would be a step up

lol wut

#

I have AMD and Nvidia

#

no problems

#

10600k is basically equivalent, at 100$ more expensive for the CPU and 100$ more expensive for the mobo

AMD makes so much more sense right now due to pricing

A lot of customers used to request them. After a few years I refused to offer them anymore.

When it came to MSI it was just a lot of sudden failures. It was about 4 years ago when I stopped offering them.

only the low end stuff?

naive pendant May 25, 2020, 10:59 PM

Why was the better question.

mild jackal May 25, 2020, 10:59 PM

Was bad capacitors on some EVGA batch that went boom.

1080/moreso the 1080 ti FE simply had a crap vrm relative to Turing.

@grim grove could you possibly do a benchmark to see when these sutters occur to see this a problem with one of the cores in the cpu or maybe you dont have enough ram

and not even sure if the 1600s are running at 1600 as the board doesn't seem to officially support that speed, though it can be used as memory overclock

You just gotta download the rgb software for your motherboard

Pretty sure the Asus TUF line doesn't have RGB

warped scroll May 26, 2020, 4:35 PM

Most motherboards support RGB

So all you gotta do is download Asus’ rgb software when you’re on the PC and then you can control the ram colors and stuff

Hi folks, can someone point me to some information regard the Ryzen situation and what mother boards to get. I am a life long Intel guy but...i cant deny the Ryzen CPUs any longer so i need to make the jump but i feel i am way over my head when it comes to AMD and its technology. I am utterly confused on what processor is coming out and what motherboard works with what without having to do some bios hack for backwards compatibility. Or do i wait a few months for everything to be matched up and the new AMD cpus come out.. any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. if it sound like i don't know what i am talking about its because.. i really don't!.. i need help!

I asked around on here, and on Reddit which motherboard I should get for my 3700x, and was told to go x570.

#

I have the option of getting a B450 now and saving $100 over the x570 board that I have pre-ordered.

I don't plan on upgrading my CPU in the next 3 years.

Should I pivot and get a B450 instead?

In that same vein, I could get the MSI B450 I, or the Gigabyte one. Which one is the better of the two for my build?

only mobo with vrm issues is low end MSI x570

x570 is just nice to have

if you can buy better stuff with the 100$ you save there, do it

#

if you cant

#

why not have a good board

tender flint May 26, 2020, 11:39 PM

Right now the biggest reason to switch to B450 is availibility

I don't know when my x570 board order will be fulfilled. I do know that this B450 board is in stock now though.

this is b&h's expected avaliability

📎 unknown.png

#

so I would base it off of that

tender flint May 26, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

The site I ordered off of (BLT) initially said May 19th, and now 30th.

#

I would like to wait till the 30th to see if they do restock

hollow thorn May 26, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

I would say jun 16 is prob it, if it doesn't start shipping on the 30th

tender flint May 26, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

okay. It's a bit later than I would like. They say good things come to those who wait, but I was trying to get the build done before the end of the month.

#

Is overclocking the 3700x safe on the Gigabyte B450 board?

#

I can think of going with a better cpu cooler with the $100

hollow thorn May 26, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

Eh it should be alright

deep vigil May 27, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

@tender flint what that build with a rmx 1k watt?

#

grim grove May 27, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

supple monolith May 27, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

I cant even afford

#

I got a ~700 build

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

so do the 700$ build and build off of it in the future

daring patio May 27, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

Yeah

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

technically speaking my current pc is still my first pc

daring patio May 27, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

thats what im hoping for

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

but none of it is left 😛

daring patio May 27, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

not even case?

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

nope

#

i started with a basic HP that luckily wasn't locked down (Which is rare for HP apparently)

#

and i got it back in 2008

#

until a few months ago all that was left was the disk drive, and i ended up getting a new case that didnt have a disk drive slot

#

so now, none is left

Computer technology refeshes fast

#

3 years later, my current computer is probably obsolete

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

pcs are usually good for about 5 years in their class, and even if they go obselete theyre not like unusable

#

like you can still game on a 5 or even 10 year old pc, just not as well as the latest can cause games require more power

coarse shuttle May 27, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

...is this legit? Its gotta be fake right?

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

very fake

coarse shuttle May 27, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

theyre selling a 2990WX for $54

#

they have a 30 day return policy

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

theres a lot of sites like that that literally only steal your card info

coarse shuttle May 27, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

some wont even let you get to the confirmation page

#

coarse shuttle May 27, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

lol

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

in fact you should delete that

coarse shuttle May 27, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

yeah ok.

rich sphinx May 27, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

I can't even find that website's company wiki

#

They don't have any social media whatsoever. They're apparently based in Omaha

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

yeah sites like that are common

#

if it seems to good to be true, it probably is

#

do not fall for scams

coarse shuttle May 27, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

I gave them just an email. lets see what kind of emails I get

crude path May 27, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

coarse shuttle May 27, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

hollow thorn May 27, 2020, 4:43 AM

untold ivy May 27, 2020, 4:44 AM

vapid mist May 27, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

Oh, I love the look of the gaming 4, but only 2 slots 😬

#

I'll figure something out haha

#

Thanks for the help guys ^^

hollow thorn May 27, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

The only time it made sense in a build Hei made me change it to a more reasonably priced option :(

#

What if I wanted them to spend 100$ more for that sexy Mobo

#

But like... Where do I draw the line? Lmaooo

hollow thorn May 27, 2020, 4:56 AM

#

Nah

#

3960x and stuff sacrifice clocks and therefore single thread performance

vapid mist May 27, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

True

#

The 3950x is the best single core... That seems like the best deal for the combination of things I do

hollow thorn May 27, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

Mhm

#

I like it

vapid mist May 27, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

Though, it would still be an upgrade of my current CPU lol

#

Well, best single core for now, the 3900xt is supposed to be a weeee bit faster

#

Guys!

#

Why does CPU monkey have results for the new XT line up???

hollow thorn May 27, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

No idea
