can you link that vid?

#

its the exact opposite of that statement, so i worry that was taken out of context

#

B550, assuming you dont need x570, is the best value

#

the b550 chipset is cheaper

#

oh, you cant send links here yet

#

just dm it for now

AMD B550... worth the compromises over X570?

B550 is here and it's the first motherboard to launch at a time when AM4 is starting to become end of life with regards to the 5 year support promised back in 2016. So should you get a B550 or an X570? Let's talk about it.

Thanks

#

I had the author wrong. lol

#

He says a lot of the same thing as @main pulsar does about the PCIe though.

wild moat Nov 5, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

yea, honestly the price comparison is quite huge for b550 and x570. and I bought an x570 at a higher price and still haven't used the board yet, it became such a waste

clever pike Nov 5, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

Most b550's just look better imo lol.

wild moat Nov 5, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

they do

silent sandal Nov 5, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

So if pcie 4 and usb 3 don’t help with gaming, what are they gonna be useful for?

main pulsar Nov 5, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

between a 250 dollar b550 vs a 250 dollar x570, the x570 costs more to purchase, meaning the rest of the board was built at a lower cost

#

x570 for people who need gen 4 storage, and lots of it

#

basically

#

the reason there are high end b550 boards is because the chipset contributes nothing for gamers

silent sandal Nov 5, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

And in what cases would gen 4 storage be helpful?

main pulsar Nov 5, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

mobo manufacturers realized this, and made top of the line b550 boards that are slightly cheaper than their x570 counterparts

#

working with gigantic datasets, 4k+ video editing, basically any work that relies on storing and retreiving mass amounts of data constantly

#

gaming loads data to memory, and thats it

silent sandal Nov 5, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

Okay so I actually do have use for gen 4 memory

#

So the x570 was nice

main pulsar Nov 5, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

then it occasionally needs to pull data from storage, but its not enough to warrant pcie 4

i need help choosing a compatible cpu for my hunk of junk computer i got for free

wild moat Nov 5, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

I got a question that I couldn't find an actual answer for online and it's off topic. How many components of your computer can you swap out before windows needing you to activate it again? I've had that happen in an old pc before but couldn't figure out the number. I'm planning to change out a cpu and gpu for a computer soon

main pulsar Nov 5, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

@wise oyster thoughts on the physical size of the system?

wild moat Nov 5, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

what is the "hun of junk" computer's spec?

main pulsar Nov 5, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

like, huge, or reasonably sized, or do you not care

wise oyster Nov 5, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

@wild moat It varies, depending on which components. If you mean CPU or motherboard, those kinds matter more than GPU, I would think.

wild moat Nov 5, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

I am just planning to upgrade the cpu and gpu and that is it^

wise oyster Nov 5, 2020, 11:34 PM

@main pulsar I already have a NZXT case. It's very roomy. Can't remember the model #

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 11:34 PM

if your not planning on playing games you'd be right @wise oyster

GPU is the number one most important thing in a gaming pc

@wise oyster how would you feel about getting a new case? most NZXT cases are not that good

wise oyster Nov 5, 2020, 11:36 PM

@main pulsar H700i

main pulsar Nov 5, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

yeah airflow in that case kinda mediocre

#

do you have your current system in that case rn?

solar stratus Nov 5, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

Isn't the s340 still the best nzxt case for airflow

prisma nymph Nov 5, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

nzxt and airflow never go in the same sentence anyways

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 11:37 PM

"best nzxt case for airflow" isnt shooting very high

solar stratus Nov 5, 2020, 11:37 PM

Yeah

#

But they're cheap

prisma nymph Nov 5, 2020, 11:38 PM

not necessarily

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 11:38 PM

NZXT is not the best for anything quantifiable imo

wise oyster Nov 5, 2020, 11:38 PM

@main pulsar yes, that's what I have my threadripper in. Using an AIO cooler on the CPU.

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 11:38 PM

mx330 now thats a cheap case

silent sandal Nov 5, 2020, 11:38 PM

I mean there’s plenty of cheap cases with good airflow

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 11:38 PM

mx330-g air

now that's a nice cheap airflow case

solar stratus Nov 5, 2020, 11:38 PM

I'm going with an O11 dynamic for my summer 2021 build so I won't be going nzxt anyways

Or a 4000D airflow

main pulsar Nov 5, 2020, 11:39 PM

what AIO? and how long have you been using it?

you can probs reuse it

solar stratus Nov 5, 2020, 11:39 PM

I'm gonna be buying a lot of corsair stuff for it because it's just the best atp

Arctic freezer ii best aio

are my worst rated vrms in my mobo that have my 8700k Oc-ed to 5.3 on all cores stable worse than say a tomohawks vrms in my personal experience the answer would be no

yes if your current cpu works in that mobo

Some boards support it

some boards let you do it without a CPU and only wiht a USB stick

but not all

carmine lynx Nov 6, 2020, 12:36 AM

so the motherboard I want is the Asus Rog crosshair VIII and I have a ryzen 5 3600 rn so I could just flash bios to 5th gen ryzen

honest gulch Nov 6, 2020, 12:36 AM

I've ordered the Asus B550-F gaming.

I should be able to do with just a usb stick yeah?

#

@carmine lynx Ryzen 7 5800X (Vermeer) (3.8GHz,105W,L3:32M,8C) ALL 2311

#

Supported since bios revision 2311

#

So update your bios to rev. 2311 and you'll have full support for the 5000 series

#

Or at least the currently released SKU's

#

@honest gulch Your board has the following relevant features:
ASUS EZ DIY

ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3
ASUS EZ Flash 3
ASUS UEFI BIOS EZ Mode

#

-BIOS FlashBack™ button
-BIOS FlashBack™ LED

#

That's the "ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING" for clarity

#

Instructions on how to operate these functions are here:
https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1038568/

#

According to Asus no CPU or memory need to be present:
<<Simply drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS Flashback port and press the Flashback button next to it. No CPU or memory install is needed, only the ATX power connector is required>>

what do threads do also?

modest ice Nov 6, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

In terms of CPU threads?

naive pendant Nov 6, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

yes

modest ice Nov 6, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

A CPU thread is the availability to run a task

#

So a 24 thread CPU for example can run 24 tasks simultaneously

naive pendant Nov 6, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

how much of a speed increase is 4-8?

modest ice Nov 6, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

Nothing in terms of speed

pastel monolith Nov 6, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

threads split the core so it can do more than one task at time

modest ice Nov 6, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

It's double the capacity in terms of corse

#

And roughly 20% additional capacity in terms of virtual cores

#

It's much better to have 8 cores and 8 thread than to have 4 cores and 8 threads

#

Virtual or logical cores just provide an efficiency advantage in most cases

pastel monolith Nov 6, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

Think of cores like workers and threads are their hands the more workers and hands that you have the more work you can get done in a shorter period of time

naive pendant Nov 6, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

another question can a motherboard use a amd and intel processor at seperate times or are motherboard amd or intel? ( last i knew it was or the other)

maybe im insane but i dont think its worth it for slightly more speed for an intel processor

B550m motherboards are comaptiable with ryzen 300gs if the bios is updated right?

modest ice Nov 6, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

You have to look at the support documentation of the specific motherboard

#

So find a motherboard you like and then see if you can navigate to the supported CPU's link on the vendor's website

naive pendant Nov 6, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

i checked and it said it is

modest ice Nov 6, 2020, 1:11 AM

There you have it

#

Not sure why you would ask any of us here, the vendor knows best 😉

#

He's the one you'll yell at if it doesn't work

naive pendant Nov 6, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

ive asked about 100 people at this point about the machine

modest ice Nov 6, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

That seems rather excessive

#

You should really consult your requirements and evaluate what hardware will fulfill your needs

#

In the end you're the judge of that

#

You could ask 10 people and get 10 different answers

#

But if you're afraid of commitment or responsibility you could ask a bunch of people and find a trend and rely on that

#

Then if anything goes wrong you can absolve yourself from your own responsibility and blame internet screen names. That not constructive but it may prevent your ego from bruising.

#

If I have any advice it's to do the due diligence in product research and then make your own decision.

a BIOS update requires an older gen CPU, so if you have a board that requires a BIOS update to use your newer gen CPU, you will have to spend extra for an Athlon (or equivalent) so you can actually update the BIOS

8700k -> 5600x justifiable or go 5900x?

pastel monolith Nov 6, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

like buying a 8700k as opposed to a 5900x?

#

or you already have a 8700k?

clever pike Nov 6, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

No i have an 8700k rn. 5600x looks mighty appealing for the price. but im also willing to snag a 5900x. thought id ask if a 5600x would be a noticeable difference from an 8700k

pastel monolith Nov 6, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

no it would not unless you are rendering videos or something

#

the 5900x also wont give you any gaming performance but it will do workstation tasks much quicker

#

I myself have an 8700k nothing wrong with it

#

is the 8700k overclocked right now?

clever pike Nov 6, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

No, no complaints about it. just planning to buy a 6800xt and thought id just take full advantage and buy r5k. and yes. 5.05

pastel monolith Nov 6, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

I wouldnt

#

even in their initial benchmarks AMD released they used a 10700k... so there is that

#

I would OC that 8700k though its meant for it

#

mines at 5.3 on all cores

#

almost all of them can do 5.1 on all cores no problem with an air cooler

#

5.05 is a little weak

#

unless that was as high as it would go stable

#

my wifes only does 5.1

clever pike Nov 6, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

im no expert with OC'ing. plus my mb is quite lackluster.

pastel monolith Nov 6, 2020, 3:04 AM

no worries there Im rocking a gigabyte z370 hd3p with supposedly the worst vrms in the history of vrms

but yeah I would just grab that 6800xt and hold on for better cpus in the future

lofty jasper Nov 6, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

@clever pike Hey, I have an 8700k. Any of the 5000 series will be a great upgrade. This is the best single generation leap in a looong time for CPUs and gaming, especially for single threaded games. If your GPU is a choke point then you won’t notice a difference, but the lower your resolution and the higher the refresh rate of your screen, the more you’ll notice a benefit from a anew CPU. You really need a beast of a GPU to notice a big difference at 4K though.

pastel monolith Nov 6, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

I still think you should wait and see what is to come but that isnt bad advice

lofty jasper Nov 6, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

I expect next gen’s big deal will be DDR5, and the first iteration of a new memory generation isn’t too great of a time to jump on board. 8700K to current gets you PCIE 3 to 4, the option to more than double your core count and the extra single threaded performance is icing on the cake.

edgy yacht Nov 6, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

Is the ryzen 5 3600x good

clever pike Nov 6, 2020, 4:01 AM

I've been warming up to amd since 2nd gen ryzen. I was told to keep waiting then and i listened. Now heres 5th gen with great looking numbers. Pair that with their new gpu. Hard to resist.

lofty jasper Nov 6, 2020, 4:01 AM

#

3000 series is good, but 5000 series is more bang for your buck

I wouldnt’ bother with 3000 anymore unless you get it cheap used.
