Well that's what the port is rated for. There is a bit of a +/- margin, but not going to be much.

gritty ocean Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

you also need to make sure that your router supports gigabit ethernet

south swan Nov 30, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Yeah lol

gritty ocean Nov 30, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

i don't entirely know if my node is 500 megabit or 1 gigabit

tough wyvern Nov 30, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Any router made in the last 5ish years should be fine, unless it was a bottom shelf budget option.

gritty ocean Nov 30, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

it SHOULD be gigabit

strange tiger Nov 30, 2020, 6:38 PM

that discord is how I got my 3080, if it's the one I am thinking of.

Are people not allowed to mention other discord here? Lol

tough wyvern Nov 30, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

So when a ryzen cpu is in the box, it's visible through the side

#

is there something like

#

a plastic covering over it?

#

to stop people from touching it

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

Yes it is inside a plastic clamshell casing

thorn plover Nov 30, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

alright good

#

because I just touched it

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

Not to stop people from touching it, but probably to protect the pins from bending

thorn plover Nov 30, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

yeah, I just touched the top heat transferring bit

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

10700kf or 5600x?

naive pendant Nov 30, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

y not both

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

How much is the former?

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Right now on Walmart the 10700kf is like 310

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Then get it, that's a good deal

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

Instead of the 5600x

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

Mhm

#

5600x stock is nowhere

#

10700kf is a better deal

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

Even though the single core is better on the 5600X, I would rather have more threads

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

What motherboard would you reccomend for the 10700kf then?

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

z490 gaming x

#

should be around the 160$ mark, good vrms

silent sandal Nov 30, 2020, 9:22 PM

What is vrms

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 9:22 PM

This one?

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

mhm

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

Will this have better value than the 5600x?

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

Yes, since 10700kf is 8c16t and 5600x is 6c12t

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

I assume that I wont need the 4 pin because that is only for some serious overclocks. Am i right?

silent sandal Nov 30, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

So what’s the best alternative to Ethernet, cause I’m not able to do that

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

Mhm

#

@silent sandal I mean, the only other alternative is wifi unless you want stupid answers with other wired connections

silent sandal Nov 30, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

So like what would I do for the wifi

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 9:44 PM

Best router you can get, and best wifi card you can get really

any idea when ryzen cpu's will come into stock again? I have basically every part for my system except for the cpu, and if it's going to take too long I'm considering just refunding mobo to get intel mobo + cpu

silent sandal Nov 30, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

Oof why does it have to be red

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

@hollow thorn I think that I might go with the Gaming X and 10700kf as they are available and also the motherboard is cheap at the moment being 50 dollars off on Amazon and the 10700kf is one available and 2 ~50-60 dollars off compared to both Amazon and Newegg

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

fair

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

@hollow thorn I do have a b550 motherboard already should I return it directly to Newegg as I still can or should I sell it on Ebay as I have seen it going for at least 200 and then can get more than I paid for it? Or is that entirely my choice

#

Just want to get some opinions

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

@patent jewel check actually sold items

#

But I'd try eBay for at least a bit since newegg does have return shipping fees afaik

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

most recent ones are like 140-160 for it sold

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

@patent jewel ebay does also take a cut so ehhhh

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

yeah realistically I might want to do Newegg because the loss that I would receive on ebay would be more than the shipping fees

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

Yea

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

would I be able to check how much the shipping fees would be

#

on Newegg

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

Not sure, might have to initiate return process first

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

like can I just hit the refund button but not confirm it because there is no clear video on that

hollow thorn Nov 30, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

dunno

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

ok I will look into that

#

how big of a difference in games is the 10900f to the 10700kf and which one would you recommend

naive pendant Nov 30, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

10700kf is a better option as you can OC it and intel k chips do tend to OC well.

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

that is what I thought

naive pendant Nov 30, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

And...there is not much difference
Aside from less than 100mhz and 2 cores+4 threads

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

yeah true I just saw the deal for 365 but will probably get the 10700kf on Walmart for 310 so wanted to see the difference

silent sandal Nov 30, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

10900k

naive pendant Nov 30, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

Oh also 10900k have more cache memory so uh...yeah

#

But for gaming, 10700kf is the better option.

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

has there been confirmation of Rocket Lake to be on the same socket type as 10th gen?

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

Intel's Ring bus architecture stops scaling well in terms of latency after 8 cores

#

And yes, Rocket Lake is also on LGA 1200

#

They're actually going back to 8 cores for that one, there will not be a 10 core on rocket lake

#

At least going by all the leaks

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

so that is a plus considering that I could later "upgrade" to a Rocket Lake cpu

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

From the sound of it they will be having an IPC uplift, but it's still their 14nm process.

#

So that's probably why they're foregoing 10 cores, the heat would be immense phaSip

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

ok

keen coral Nov 30, 2020, 11:29 PM

Is this a good deal? Ryzen 7 3800xt with x570 arous pro WiFi mobo?

How much is it?

keen coral Nov 30, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

For 515

#

Sorry lol

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

Is that a bundle on Newegg or something?

keen coral Nov 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

Amazon

#

Is it any good?

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

It's okay, but it's hard to say cause for a while and it might still be the case I was seeing 9900K with Z390 mobo bundles for less than 500, like 440 - 470 or so

#

And that's honestly the better deal I think

#

Aye my pretty light sticks came in today

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

That SSD is a sata drive

#

You're not getting PCIe speeds from it

keen coral Nov 30, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

Oh

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

And honestly, look at B550 boards. The VRMs are as good as the X570 boards, and the only difference is PCIE gen 4 on the chipset

#

There should be a Aorus Elite or Pro on B550 as well, save a few bucks get the same results pretty much

keen coral Nov 30, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

Okay thanks just thought it was a pretty good deal for the bundle

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

3800XT is like maybe 5% faster than the 3700X

keen coral Nov 30, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

Yea that’s what I hear

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

3800X the gap is smaller too, it's like 2%

#

It's all binning

#

Like maybe you'll get better boosts at lower voltages

#

But that's not really a big deal as long as everything is working

#

Does wonders for temps though I suppose

keen coral Nov 30, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

Thanks 😊

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

Oh so you know, when you're looking at SSDs; how you tell the difference between SATA and NVME is a Sata drive will have 2 notches and an nvme will only have 1

keen coral Nov 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

Wdym notches

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

So at the end, the connector

#

The top one is SATA the bottom is NVME

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

is it worth it to invest more money into a non f intel cpu to make sure my cpu works?

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

What would that ensure it works? What do you mean?

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

like the integrated graphics on a display sorry for not clarrifying

#

wont play games just to make sure it works

violet zealot Nov 30, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

But if you're getting a graphics card what's the point?

#

You need to make sure the graphics card is working too right? If the CPU isn't working then the whole thing is shot and it needs to be replaced phaWesker

patent jewel Nov 30, 2020, 11:56 PM

yeah also I have seen some people have problems with the integrated graphics messing with the display

ITX? Sorry, this is for my son. Haven't built a box for a long time

hollow thorn Dec 1, 2020, 12:09 AM

Size of the motherboard wise

#

ATX/mATX/ITX are the most common sizes

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 12:10 AM

There's different form factors, so ITX is for like for a smaller sized computer pretty much

He's got a medium box

hollow thorn Dec 1, 2020, 12:10 AM

I just ordered my MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk from a cyber Monday deal before they are sold out. It includes a flash Bios button on the back of the motherboard.

Good amount of MSI boards have flashback buttons, which is nice.

patent jewel Dec 1, 2020, 12:12 AM

sorry to ask again I just don't want to make a wrong decision. Does the 10700kf have more value than the 5600x. Is the z490 Gaming x ax a good board for the 10700kf with some overclocks probably. I just don't want to make some mistakes

hollow thorn Dec 1, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

For the price you got it at, and considering the current stock situation, I'd say 10700kf over 5600x.

patent jewel Dec 1, 2020, 12:14 AM

I also feel it will be better because of less problems that could occur with new 5000 series.

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 12:14 AM

like problems with stability

hollow thorn Dec 1, 2020, 12:16 AM

@violet zealot as in not enough time for people to develop problems

say there's some bug in the agesa code that just isn't known yet

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 12:17 AM

Sure, I guess the poor availability could just be a blessing in disguise

also I have seen some people that have just had their cpus stolen out of the box and that is concerning

naive pendant Dec 1, 2020, 12:20 AM

Wow... that makes it seem almost like people want these cpus more than the new gpus

With a b550 or X570 board I don't need a Bios update/flash for a Ryzen 3000 series processor right?

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

rigid condor which would be better the i9-10850k or i9 10900k

They're the same, the only difference is price and the 10900k is higher binned; meaning it's of higher quality so it will achieve the same clockspeeds at lower voltages so it heats up a bit less. Not much of a difference performance wise though, 10850k is cheaper so it's a better value

sharp lava Dec 1, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

Reading back above, I'm not entirely sur if Mr1111 answered me or the other person. I just want to clarify it:

#

Will this work with my Ryzen 5 2600?

#

Yes definitely

hollow thorn Dec 1, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

Yea, B450m steel legend will work with R5 2600

sharp lava Dec 1, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

Thank you both!

hollow thorn Dec 1, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

Steel legend is also one of the boards that just got Zen 3 support

#

Which is quite nice

sharp lava Dec 1, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

Zen 3 = Ryzen gen 3 CPUs?

hollow thorn Dec 1, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

Zen 3 = 5xxx chips

#

like 5600x

naive pendant Dec 1, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

No I think like Amd ryzen 5600

hollow thorn Dec 1, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

Zen 2 is 3rd gen non-APUs

#

like 3700x

sharp lava Dec 1, 2020, 1:11 AM

This one?

@violet zealot so its a better deal to get i9 10850k and i wont see a preformace difference

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Correct

rigid condor Dec 1, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

is it the same architecture or is commet lake maybe a bit better

#

and is intel optane worth it

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

Huh?

patent jewel Dec 1, 2020, 1:22 AM

Is this a good deal for my friend? Wants it for Christmas so can't go with a 5600x.

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

Yeah that's a good discount for the ssd actually

rigid condor Dec 1, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

is the 10900k the same arcutexture as the 10850k

patent jewel Dec 1, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

1tb even

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

Yeah it is

#

It's literally the same product stack

naive pendant Dec 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

is 3700x going to be viable into the next few years? Might just give up on 5600x hunt and get that

rigid condor Dec 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

and would a intel optane drive work well with it

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

It should optane is something Intel has been doing for a while isn't it?

rigid condor Dec 1, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

just not sure how it works because i assume you dowload windows on the optane drive and get a seprate m.2 for game and such

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

And yeah I think the 3700X will be very viable, honestly for longer than you might be thinking. In terms of the average gaming scenario. I would personally try to get more cores though if you wanted to do more in the long term. But for now that's a pretty good deal for a few years

#

Optane is like a cache drive

#

I don't think you put anything on it really

#

It's like you speed up load times off the hard disk or something right? I dunno AMD has something similar called Store MI

#

Oh the 9700K for 200 bucks?

#

I saw that, it's not bad for the money

#

Like considering last year I got my 2600 for $150, if the 9700K was 200 at the time I would be second guessing the decision

rigid condor Dec 1, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

is 11th gen worth the wait tho

#

and will it use lga 1200

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

It will, but eh maybe not. Cause it will have higher IPC

#

But apparently they're going down in core count

#

The top chip is gonna be an 8 core

rigid condor Dec 1, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

i heard

#

and lower ghz

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

Clockspeed isn't everything, with the higher IPC it'll be better

naive pendant Dec 1, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

the 9700k deal was crazy

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

But the question is, if you were to get that 10 core part.

naive pendant Dec 1, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

wish I didnt buy an amd mobo lol

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

Then there's not much sense in going down to 8 cores later

rigid condor Dec 1, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

its probly because they are stuck at 14mn\

#

is 1000w good enough for i9 and 3090 FE

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

Yeah it's fine

rigid condor Dec 1, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

or should i go 1200w

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

I mean it wouldn't hurt

rigid condor Dec 1, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

where can i find the lian li sl120 are they even out yet

unborn nova hello all hope you are all my question is if cpu i5-10300H is very good with RTX...

there would be a bottlneck on cpu intensive applications, that cpu would pair more with a 50 series or 60

for 1080p it is good?

ryzen is better value

regal idol Dec 1, 2020, 3:50 PM

ok

which one would be better with a 3090 geforce grahics card

like best performance

pliant cypress Dec 1, 2020, 3:51 PM

5950x

regal idol Dec 1, 2020, 3:52 PM

i think that the 5950X would be too expensive for my budget, would the 5900X work well with the 3090 too?

Both cpus will do well with a 3090...but just a question, are you going to like game with it or do productivity work?

regal idol Dec 1, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

game mostly play minecraft

naive pendant Dec 1, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

Uh...

#

I would go 3080 instead
And 5900x
5950x if you want extra cores to do productivity like cpu intesive stuff.

regal idol Dec 1, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

ok

naive pendant Dec 1, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

On 3090, you are paying 1500$ for...10-20+ frames
And 3090 seems to be aimed for people needs extra vram for certain programs.

regal idol Dec 1, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

ok

#

what about the new radeon 6000 series coming out

#

out

#

will those be better than the 3090 and 3080

naive pendant Dec 1, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

6800 xt? It is already released and 6900 xt is claimed by amd to be in pair with 3090.

#

While costing 500$ less.

regal idol Dec 1, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

so then i sould get the 6900XT

#

should

#

because its cheaper and same performance

naive pendant Dec 1, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

Well...it's claimed to be.

#

It's launching on next week so there is a possible scalper issue.

#

But imo(in my opinion) i would go for 3080 because there is dlss and better RT

#

And dlss is great to get some extra fps for some games

@unborn plaza

This may be a dumb question,but is 2 16GB sticks better than 2 8GB and 2 16GB sticks?

unborn plaza Dec 1, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

So the board does have pcie 4.0 but its just not being utilized? @violet zealot @deft helm

#

I assume they cant upgrade it by software so the hardware is there but just being used right

#

Why else would the mono box say future ready steveconfused

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 4:56 PM

Kind of, the CPU is what is limiting gen 4 support

unborn plaza Dec 1, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Ahhh i see

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

So if the CPU doesn't support it, then you just don't have it

unborn plaza Dec 1, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

violet zealot So if the CPU doesn't support it, then you just don't have it

Does it cap the performance of gpu?

#

Doesnt the gpu connect to pcie 4.0 in amd board

#

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

PCIE is backwards and forwards compatible

#

But yes, bandwidth is limited to whatever is the older gen.

#

So a pcie 3 card will have the same pcie3 bandwidth going into a gen 4 supported platform

#

And vice versa

unborn plaza Dec 1, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

So does the 3080 use pcie 3 or 4?

violet zealot Dec 1, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

It uses 4

#

So yes it will be limited to gen 3 bandwidth on intel currently

unborn plaza Dec 1, 2020, 4:59 PM

It can be if you're not concerned with upgrading the CPU, the 9900K is the top of the line for that platform and it will be a decent option for a good while still

Whenever you do upgrade it's gonna be everything anyway so phaSheva

I've heard that, although many watts and outputs have the same 'footprint,' not all watts, volts and amps are compatible with the i7 and my original OEM cord is mostly in Chinese, so I can't tell how to match it. Can anyone help?

i bought new ram today

but im not getting anywhere near the speeds the packaging says

short gust Dec 1, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

You probably have to manually turn the higher speed on in the BIOS and/or with a switch.

violet hatch Dec 1, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

ok so i turned on the dcop profile and set it to the speed

Hello!

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 2:32 AM

I can’t find it in stock :’)

Put it in the bottom m.2 slot and see if it’s the drive itself first

tight cipher Dec 2, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Is it me or B550 and X570 are overpriced for what you get?

#

I just want a good MB with wifi and USB-C for front IO and they all seem to start around 300$ CAD

fresh wren Dec 2, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

My B550 has no USB C 😦

cosmic prism Dec 2, 2020, 2:41 AM

I agree 🤕. But B550 and X570 are compatible with the new processors 😷

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

@tight cipher look again

fresh wren Dec 2, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

got a case with no USB C instead

#

more like getting*

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

both gen 1 and gen 2 header boards are available well below 200 cad @tight cipher

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

The higher end b550’s and x570’s are getting scalped because cpu stock is starting to level out

#

That would be partly why

tight cipher Dec 2, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

hmm I might be missing something because the lowest one I see with wifi and Front USB-C is the MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI starting at 250$

#

ATX btw

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

which specific type of front usb do you need @tight cipher ?

#

gen1 or gen2?

tight cipher Dec 2, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

Let me check which one the 500D SE as

#

It supports 3.1 but if gen 1 and 2 will work I don't mind going with that

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 2:56 AM

gen1 or gen2 refers to the connector "type"

I shorted a $1300 motherboard what can I do?

Well then

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

So, what can I do?

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

Uhh

#

Check if it’s still under manufacturers warranty

#

Tell them it broke and you don’t know why :)

#

I cannot condone the above statement

tight cipher Dec 2, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

hmm have you tried running it with another PSU no components?

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

Okay, I'm going to be honest the warranty ended like legit 3 days ago.

#

I tried with another PSU and no luck. hmm have you tried running it with another PSU no components?

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

Could always ask customer service if they’ll accept it even though the warranty JUST ended

tight cipher Dec 2, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

Damn doesnt look to promising

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 3:12 AM

I nice talked my way to store credit on a returned product past it’s return date

#

Wouldn’t tell them you shorted it tho

I was trying to get like 4 3090s but holy hell scalpers wanted like 10k+

Why 4?

Discard?

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 3:24 AM

Throw out I mean.

What kind of business you in that you just throwing out 2080ti’s

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 3:24 AM

A private company I own.

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 3:25 AM

You could do a giveaway with ur employees lol

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 3:26 AM

Na, they are equipped with 2 2080ti's till these 3090s come to market and not ebay.

tight cipher Dec 2, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

List it on Kijiji or Facebook market place for cheap they'll go faster then you can say it with the current demand

#

that would definitely cover the cost if you need a new board stonks

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 3:28 AM

wish the 3090s had at least 32gb...

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 3:29 AM

Thinkin with the noggin hex

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 3:30 AM

Should I just straight up buy 4 3090s from this scalper on eBay? He's been very kind to me in DMS.

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 3:30 AM

I can’t say

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 3:30 AM

Would blow like 40k though, but not a big deal really.

tight cipher Dec 2, 2020, 3:32 AM

well there's the Nvidia Tesla V100S 32GB but idk the pricing of that

probably cheaper then scalper prices 😆

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 3:33 AM

Honestly that’s probably true

$12,000.

They say I'm at fault when it was already deflective, so I returned it and got sent back it even more broken then before...

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

the following is based on my experience, and my experience only (and i dont work with or for newegg): IF a customer service rep actually tells you to go away. There are 2 options: You are being a pita (in the sense that you are not accepting the result of their talk with you) OR they are trying to scam you.

#

you ofc have photos to backup your claims right?

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

Yep.

#

I could take this to court actually when I think about it.

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 3:59 AM

#

then it should be very simple to have a reasonable talk with any customer service agent.

#

just remember: They have logs too

#

and i repeat: IF you have an outstanding case with newegg, talk with @glad socket

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

Yes, I do know they have logs which will turn up nothing against me as I'm not in the wrong.

Buy it for a scalper.

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

(and a rog strix x570 e for christmas dont ask)

#

too expensive for me

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

I guess

#

watch you have M.2 issues too lmao. and a rog strix x570 e for christmas dont ask)

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

oh lord I hope not lol

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

Well, if you do I can figure my issue out when you do.

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

thats why manufacturers warranty is a big deal to me

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

My question is it the Bored or the M.2...?

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

if youve used the m.2 for awhile then it could be that :)

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

I never was able to use it.

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

well I should give you some context

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

I could try it on a 10 year old rig though.

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

(probably isnt the m.2)

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 4:20 AM

waaaaaaa

#

Maybe the OS somehow keeps messing up?

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 4:21 AM

maybe

#

could try updating the bios

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 4:21 AM

Yeah that too.

#

I'll try once more.

#

Before it wasn't picking the USB up.

#

Wait no....

blissful dragon Dec 2, 2020, 4:22 AM

(the strix x570 e is being sold on newegg for $297 which is low for that board, the next lowest is $339 and is in stock but given that its a christmas thing you see my dilema)

knotty oar Dec 2, 2020, 4:22 AM

Isn't the usb have to be on the motherboard in the back?

pure current Dec 2, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

what is this?

Note:The Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 PE 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.

pure current Dec 2, 2020, 7:13 AM

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 7:13 AM

if you OC high enough, and i do mean HIGH enough

#

then there is "something" about it

#

but that is way way out of regular consumer space

pure current Dec 2, 2020, 7:14 AM

so an average OC should be fine?

west nova Dec 2, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

@gritty meadow could i ask a question?

#

correct me if i'm wrong about this (just going based of what some people have told me)...
you can slap any ram sticks on a B550-F with the new zen3 even if it's not on the QVl list right?

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

@west nova VGA list?

#

you mean the QVL ?

west nova Dec 2, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

Oh yea

#

That

#

200Sad

#

idk why i said VGA @gritty meadow but yes, QVL

#

I also kinda saw a reddit post earlier, saying that the list is basically garbage lol. I just wanna confirm thats all

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 8:56 AM

#

the QVL is meant for the following use cases: If you want any kind of a guarantee that your ram runs at specific speeds and (more importantly) capacity, you generally go with items on the QVL list

#

IF you are a normal consumer, and have access and more importantly, time to tweak things yourself? you can safely ignore it

#

so, yes, you can use any ram you want. However, i would recommend 3600 @ cl16 IF your budget can handle that @west nova

#

does that answer your question?

west nova Dec 2, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

yea cheers mate 🙂

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

you are very welcome :)

#

and please, dont ever hesitate to ask actual questions like that to any of the techies :)

is a b550 better than a x570

violet zealot Dec 2, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

It's better in terms of value

#

Otherwise it comes down to your use case, most people don't need the extra features of X570. Namely the PCIE gen 4 support on the chipset itself

gritty meadow Dec 2, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

@violet zealot that makes it sound like there is no pci-e 4.0 on the board IF it uses b550 :)

#

which we both know is not the case :)

Fair enough, to a layman that doesn't understand the nuances of what Chipset means

violet zealot Dec 2, 2020, 3:27 PM

Certainly B550 could be more pricey, they are newer and there are higher end models that are about as expensive as the midrange X570 boards but much more than the lower end ones

i dont think this is too bad for my first build

is it possible my motherboard just can't recognize 3 drives at the same time?

fallen lynx Dec 2, 2020, 5:32 PM

look at your MB manual. often using an M.2 will disable certain SATA ports

Exclusive: Why Apple M1 Single "Core" Comparisons Are Fundamentally...

I have something pretty exciting for our readers today; something that almost everyone appears to have missed in the clamor for Apple M1 benchmark comparisons. What if I told you that pretty much all of the single-core benchmark comparisons between the Apple M1 and modern x86 processors you see online are fundamentally flawed (assuming the […]

#

I'm not completely familiar with the architectures, but feels really unfair, like saying in 9700k vs 3700x, you should count performance of two different threads on 3700x because 9700k chip doesn't use SMT for single core..?

main pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 2:07 AM

i think whats more important is real world perf

hand the scheduler a thread of execution. which cpu handles it better?

#

hand it 2 threads, see what happens

hollow thorn Dec 3, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

the suggestion they made to compare 2 threads to a single thread in a comparison of just threads across different architectures is just

#

I don't like it

main pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

in reality, if you run software thats gonna utilize 2 threads, your nuts to think its only gonna use the one core

the scheduler is gonna prioritize a heavy workload as it sees fit. no one in their right mind goes in and sets process affinity

@celest ginkgo Do keep in mind before you upgrade, LGA1151 is somewhat of a dead platform, highest chip you can go is 9900k, and that's it.

i mean, its a fine cpu, investing is some faster ram isnt a bad thing, i just dont know how much more performance youre gonna get jumping from 2666 to something like 3200

The most performance i believe ill see is in the .01 lows

but think imma look at some 1200's thanks

youre looking at a 200 dollar upgrade, so compared to the cost of a new cpu, mobo and ram, it would be the better option

im using pcpartpicker and im going with a 5600x and a
MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard but i get this

Warning!Some AMD B550 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vermeer CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
what does that mean?

pliant jasper Dec 3, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

@azure pulsar B550 was manufactured before Ryzen 5000 series was announced so the bios on the motherboard (think of it like the operating system of your motherboard) may or may not be updated with a bios compatible with the Ryzen 5000 series. If it isn’t you’ll have to update it yourself. To update it may require an older CPU that is compatible with the bios. Something to look for is a feature to update the bios from a flash drive, no CPU required. Only some motherboards have that feature, and I believe it’s more common among X570 boards, but that would allow you to update the bios for your new CPU.

#

i watched a video on how to update and someone else said that it should be ok to use

#

thanks tho

cursive epoch Dec 3, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

that mobo should have flashback

#

you can update with no cpu

mild jackal Dec 3, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

Check the am4 spreadsheet in the pins to see what has flashback

azure pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

ok

#

im new to pc building, what exactly is flashback?>

cursive epoch Dec 3, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

or, request amd to ship you a bios update kit if it doesn't work

#

flashback is ability to flash bios without booting

azure pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

oh

cursive epoch Dec 3, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

as long as the mobo has power

azure pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

so i wouldnt have to do the whole

#

usb thing

#

i could just boot up as normal

cursive epoch Dec 3, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

no, you have to

azure pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

oh

cursive epoch Dec 3, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

flashback uses usb with bios image you wanna flash

azure pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

ohhh

cursive epoch Dec 3, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

but doesn't need cpu or anything

#

just hook it up with a psu

azure pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

ah

#

so if i did that i'd realistically update that before finishign the pc build

#

like before putting in gpu

cursive epoch Dec 3, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

try putting cpu in first

#

see if it boots

#

doesn't hurt to have it in

azure pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

kk

pliant jasper Dec 3, 2020, 7:22 AM

#

Can you update bios without flashback if you only have a Ryzen 5000 CPU?

azure pulsar Dec 3, 2020, 7:25 AM

#

the video i watched was super simple

#

maybe too simple but idk

can I control lighting of the Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 with CAM from nzxt?

desert cloud Dec 3, 2020, 11:02 AM

#

will https://www.newegg.com/msi-gaming-b150m-bazooka/p/N82E16813130894 this work with other DDR4 or just 2133?

oblique yew Dec 3, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

@desert cloud Over on msi's page for the motherboard it says "DDR4 2133 MHz and higher memory modules will only run at maximum of DDR4 2133 MHz on XMP mode due to Intel® chipset limitation"

desert cloud Dec 3, 2020, 12:23 PM

ok thank you

does ASRock B450M PRO4 work with ryzen 5 3600?

worthy dome Dec 3, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

agile pagoda does ASRock B450M PRO4 work with ryzen 5 3600?

If your getting it IRL and it says ryzen 3000 series ready on the box, then your good to go. But if your getting it online because while your chances are still high to get it 3000 series ready out of the box, if you end up getting really old stock, it wont be and you'll have to bios update.

agile pagoda does ASRock B450M PRO4 work with ryzen 5 3600?

Yes, but if youre planning to upgrade to the ryzen 5000 series, get a x570 or b550 board instead

I wanted to know if the RAM I purchased is not under the tested memory for my Motherboard, is it possible that my rig might be unstable when activating XMP in the bios?

gritty meadow Dec 3, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

those two things are not necessarily related.

#

But, enabling XMP might cause instability

#

no guarantee on that

#

it is still very much recommended to do

lethal briar Dec 3, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Yea, when I have XMP enabled and on every boot, I can't open any app, once I do my rig freezes for quite a lil bit before I can do anything else

#

Idk if that problem has anything to do with the RAM or XMP for that matter

gritty meadow Dec 3, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

try and manually set the settings that xmp does

lethal briar Dec 3, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

how would I know what values to put?

gritty meadow Dec 3, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

manufacturer of your ram has the timings listed

lethal briar Dec 3, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

That is where I get stuck, I don't want to put the wrong stuff and mess anything up

#

Thanks I appreciate the help @gritty meadow
