[unkempt sandal]

i think i may have soemone who wants to get into pc gaming buy this one and then start from scratch but i just need this till parts are readily available

[devout fiber]

Uuuuuu B550 Unify announced bruh

After i bought my gamig carbon wifi

Lets hope its pretty much the same so i dont have regret

[pale mist]

I have a mpg b550 gaming edge, cant see it getting a whole lot better

[forest birch]

anyone here also have usb ports problem with B550/X570 + 5000 series cpu?

[meager river]

@boreal zenith ah, that's probably it

I found a random old USB Drive

[boreal zenith]

yea

I used USB 2.0 when I was building my first pc and I got giga stressed smth bad happened but

[meager river]

However, it should still work by updating through the internet right?

[boreal zenith]

just needs 3.0 to update

idk I always use ezflash

[meager river]

Yea, that's what i tried at first

Then i tried the other options

however, none worked

@pearl zealot I did, and it didn't work :(

[naive pendant]

What memory would be better for a ryzen 5000 gaming pc?
F4-3600C16D-16GVK or F4-3200C14D-16GVK
This is gskill ripjaws V
I'm getting it in 4x8gb

[ruby laurel]

Literally have never updated my bios

3600

[naive pendant]

Sure?

I guess the speed is more important then eh

[ruby laurel]

The 3200 has tighter timings but the speed should make up for it a bit more

[naive pendant]

Fair enough, just wanted somones opinion. Thanks

But it's probably extremely similar anyway right

I'd personally still get the 3600 kit

over the 3200 one

[pastel monolith]

the ryzen cpu will benefit more from speed than timings

[naive pendant]

Ok thanks

What about if it's 16-16-16-36 vs 16-18-18-38
How much does that matter?

Or 16-19-19-39

Damn turns out my store removed the one you guys chose so ill have to go for this gskill trident z F4-3600C16D-16GTZKW
Too bad it's costs more

[tranquil silo]

I have 3600 at 16-19-19-39 and am p sure its hynix cjr so Ive never tried OCing it

that being said, it is dual rank 32GB

dual rank is best for zen 2

[unborn plaza]

Guys i have a 10600kf and msi gaming edge wifi and rtx 3080. Should i overclock the cpu? I have been playing cyberpunk, the temps in my lian li case are around 70-80 degrees for my gpu while playing for 10 hours. Can i squeeze more performance oit of the 10600kf or just leave it as is. Temps for cpu is around 60-70 i think, i use artic 240 aio.

[pseudo stag]

Hi @glad socket , I bought around black friday a B450M DS3H to pair with a R7 1700 and 16GB of TridentZ 3200Mhz and it keep crashing. No internet, no video signal I have to hard shutdown and restart. I upgraded BIOS to latest firmware with no luck. Running TrueNAS. It was doing so every 2-3 days, now it's everyday. I'm starting to lose my mind. Do I go to RMA ?

[astral drift]

Don't know too much about spectrix... are they legit? https://www.newegg.com/xpg-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-00KG-000J4?Item=9SIAJNUC5R4195&cm_sp=Dailydeal_SS-_-9SIAJNUC5R4195-_-12142020

are they worth 129 for 32gb??

or i should buy a gskill 16gb for 90

[naive pendant]

so 10700k is cheaper than the ryzen 7 5800x and seems similar in perfomance
seems like the tables have turned for intel

[deft inlet]

switch places

:)]

[full flame]

But you're not looking at the 5600x or 5800x

[naive pendant]

oops
5800x

[full flame]

I mean doesn't the 5600x and 5800x win in single core for the most part and the 5800x wins in multicore? I'd love to know that if I'm wrong. AMD's price hike with the new gen changes things some, but it's not clear to me that the 10700k is the obvious choice if you can get a 5600x (or higher course 5000 series if you need the cores)

[naive pendant]

yep, they do win but the point is that the 10700k is 100$ cheaper than 5800x
and you can oc it to get some extra peformance.

i was comparing to 5800x tho

not 5600x

[full flame]

Yeah, I'm just saying if you need mostly single core you can go 5600x for slightly cheaper.

[naive pendant]

ye

[full flame]

Overall the 5800x is in an odd spot I think, so just get like a 5900x and go all in 😄

I'm kidding, I'd be looking at a 5600x or 5600 (if they release one)

[naive pendant]

i7 10700k seems like a good alternative to 5800x

only that i7 tho

because the i5 10600k is still pricey

compared to the 5600x

[hollow thorn]

10850k for 400usd at microcenter is pretty great :D

[naive pendant]

really? thats actually pretty good price

for a 10 cores CPU

[hollow thorn]

saw it earlier today, better deal than 5800x atm
https://www.microcenter.com/product/626745/intel-core-i9-10850k-comet-lake-36ghz-ten-core-lga-1200-boxed-processor

[lapis chasm]

I got mine for 99 cents

Best Buy accidental 99.9% discount 🤣

[naive pendant]

seems like the 10100, 10400/10400f & 10700k is the only decently priced CPUs on intel side rn

10300 is still pricey
same for the 10600

[pale mist]

I have a feeling that AMD will retire am4 in the next CPU anyway

[naive pendant]

ddr5 about to launch though.

so very likely

[slim nymph]

AMD already announced they're retiring am4

[pale mist]

yay i was right

[royal kernel]

when will th 3100 be in stock😭

[naive pendant]

it's in stock

but at 182+

[mental bronze]

Is there a confirmed date for this yet

[naive pendant]

none yet but seems like it's about to launch next year or 2022

[mental bronze]

Ok thx

[naive pendant]

but unlikely to be cheap though.

at first.

[mental bronze]

I want to get a pc but I’m already waiting for prices to drop back down to MSRP so I don’t want to wait too long to get it

Another year is crossing the line

[naive pendant]

ye...plus ddr5 ain't gonna be cheap on launch

it's gonna be like what happened to ddr4
expensive on launch, cheap years later.

[mental bronze]

If this is the case I’ll probably get a pc that’ll last me a few years, then upgrade to all the new stuff like AM5 or AM4+ or whatever it’s gonna be and DDR5 eventually

[naive pendant]

is the 3600xt worth the extra 100-150 dollars than the 3600

[pliant cypress]

no

[naive pendant]

good luck then.

hm

[naive pendant]

nope

what about the x

why is the x cheaper than the xt on amazon

sorry opposite way

xt cheaper than the x

🤷

ok

[stoic rover]

would u rather have a r7 3700x or r5 5600x for gaming

since im thinking about returning the 3700x for the 5600x?

[pliant cypress]

5600x

[stoic rover]

can it still multi task well?

like i can have games, chrome, and stream

or not really

[pseudo stag]

I wouldn't downgrade in cores

[hollow thorn]

I mean, I would for the performance

[fresh plinth]

I just managed to get my hands on a 5600x, is the msi b550 tomahawk a good board?

[tranquil silo]

yes

[hollow thorn]

decent

[fresh plinth]

Well im trying to stay on a budget

[hollow thorn]

Yes

that's the thing the tomahawk is bad at

[fresh plinth]

Alright, well is there anything you would recommend for a budget B550 board?

[hollow thorn]

B550m Aorus pro at 120$

[fresh plinth]

Thanks

[prisma nymph]

hmmmm now its a debate of whether or not i wait for the 5600
early 2021 is whats estimated from the leaks

since the 3600 is OOS as well

[fresh plinth]

What I did, was I just kept this video open in the background, so I was able to get a chip this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-227qAPKoNY

So its not impossible to get your hands on one now, its just gonna be easier later.

[prisma nymph]

5600

non-x

[fresh plinth]

ohhhhhhhhh

nvm

[pliant cypress]

hmm I actually think they might not release a non x

[prisma nymph]

there's leaks

[pliant cypress]

because it might be the 3600 thing where no one buys the x or xt

so just one verson of the 5600

[worldly fable]

Just a question, what should I get: Gigabyte B550 GAMING X ATX, Gigabyte B550M AORUS PRO-P, or Gigabyte B550M AORUS PRO

[clear sequoia]

Should I go with intel or amd im kinda confused which is better

[wind karma]

whatever suits your needs and is cheaper

on average intel has slightly higher clocks, amd has more cores

so for gaming intel has traditionally been better, but in past years amd's pricing has been very competitive

[clear sequoia]

What does more cores do?

[slim nymph]

better for things that require multiple cores like video editing or rendering, or if you like to multitask like streaming while gaming

[clear sequoia]

Does youtube count as multitasking? xd

[slim nymph]

Yeah.

[clear sequoia]

Ayyy

[slim nymph]

It could if you do it with something else.

So, think of it like this.

I like to keep it simple.

1 core for every 1 task

[clear sequoia]

Hm ok

[cedar leaf]

What is your budget?

[clear sequoia]

I'm not gonna buy a cpu yet but I say up to 400 dollars

Im trying to get a 3060 ti first since i have a gtx 650

[slim nymph]

Most games nowadays are fancy and use 4 cores.

[clear sequoia]

But for my cpu I have a intel i5

[bronze bison]

yo

[slim nymph]

So, if you like to game, 4 cores for gaming, 1 for windows, and 1 for everything else. So 6 core processor.
If you're a streamer, 4 cores for gaming, 1 for windows, 1 for streaming, and 1 for everything else. So you'd need 7, but you round up to 8.

Yo.

[bronze bison]

which should i go for

32 gb ram 3200 mghz

[clear sequoia]

Hm ok well thanks man

[slim nymph]

these numbers do change.

[bronze bison]

or 16 gb 3600 mghz

[slim nymph]

Like back in the old days it was only 1 core for gaming 😄

hmmm.

Most processes nowadays only need 16 gb.

[bronze bison]

oh yeah and i want to stream

[slim nymph]

so 3600 is always nice.

And if you do a 2x8 kit, you can always upgrade later on if you need it.

[bronze bison]

yu right thanks bro

[slim nymph]

no probs

[cedar leaf]

If you have a 400 budget I would go for a 3600 if you need it now or a 5600 if you can wait

[slim nymph]

a 400 budget could get you a 10700k

[cedar leaf]

Right

[slim nymph]

which is also nice.

[cedar leaf]

But based off his needs

Seems like he doesn't need too much

[clear sequoia]

Wait wha?

[slim nymph]

True.

Then 5600

3600 is nice, but 5600 is super nice!

😄

[cedar leaf]

Yeah exactly

👍

[clear sequoia]

Im confused... can you guys use the full name? xd

[slim nymph]

Ryzen 5 5600 processor

[cedar leaf]

@clear sequoia Wait for Ryzen 5 5600 availability

[clear sequoia]

Hm ok

[cedar leaf]

It just released a couple of weeks ago so its fresh and SUPER powerful

for a 6 core cpu

[clear sequoia]

Is it better or worse then a i5-2500?

I believe thats what I have

[slim nymph]

tons better.

[cedar leaf]

LIKE 400 TIMES BETTER

[clear sequoia]

Oh dang

[cedar leaf]

You realize your running a dual core rn?

@slim nymph That's a dual core right?

Or is it quad?

[slim nymph]

That's a quad core.

That's old school.

[cedar leaf]

Yeah its 4 just not hyperthreaded

[clear sequoia]

Im gonna get a 3060 ti first then ill get the amd cpu

[cedar leaf]

No

Get the cpu first

then the gpu

[clear sequoia]

You sure?

[cedar leaf]

yes

[clear sequoia]

Why tho?

[slim nymph]

I think it was 8th gen when intel made i5 into a 6 core processor

gpu market is scuffed

[cedar leaf]

A 3060ti will be running at 30 fps because it will be bottlenecked by the cpu

[slim nymph]

Stock is just absolutely abysmal

[clear sequoia]

Ohh ok

[slim nymph]

that too.

[cedar leaf]

Yeah thanks to AMD's competition

[clear sequoia]

Also I wouldnt use it yet since im trying to get all the parts for a good build

[slim nymph]

I like 9th gen intel and 10th gen intel.

[cedar leaf]

Intel didn't have a need for 6 cores for consumers until AMD realesed teh 1600

[cedar leaf]

Exactly

[slim nymph]

1600 was awesome on release.

[cedar leaf]

So get all the parts first

[slim nymph]

I had an FX 8350 then upgraded to a 2600 after they refined the 1600

[cedar leaf]

Yep

[clear sequoia]

I got a prebuilt around a couple months ago because I was dumb and didnt know how to make a pc thats why I have some outdated parts

[cedar leaf]

Ah

[slim nymph]

There are decent prebuilt companies.

Just not dell

[cedar leaf]

Yeah you've got a processor that was made in 2011 lmao

[clear sequoia]

The good thing is that they gave me a full atx case with the pc

[slim nymph]

anything but dell

[clear sequoia]

And fans i can reuse

[cedar leaf]

Eh depends

what fans are they

[clear sequoia]

Uhh

Idk

[cedar leaf]

Yeah

Make sure they are adequate for these high end parts that you are about to use

[clear sequoia]

I might have to get a new cpu fan but I can use the other ones on the inside of the case maybe

[storm spoke]

@gritty meadow @hollow thorn I fixed my flash bios issue, turns out the issue was my thumb drive

[slim nymph]

Don't worry too much. If you have any questions, there's a huge pile of nerds here that are willing to help.

[clear sequoia]

Yea :>

[cedar leaf]

You will get one with the R5 5600

[clear sequoia]

Hm ok

[cedar leaf]

Stock CPU cooler comes with the 5600

[cedar leaf]

oof

[clear sequoia]

Niceee

That'll save me some cash

[gritty meadow]

@storm spoke good to hear

[storm spoke]

Such a stupid fix, I hate technology sometimes lol

[gritty meadow]

wrong partition type or?

[cedar leaf]

That's they way the cookie crumbles lol

[gritty meadow]

or just another "oh, btw, we dont bother telling you why this does not work" error/bug?

[storm spoke]

No I tried a different flash drive for the bios fix

...

[gritty meadow]

so, the last one then :)

it would be SO much simpler for consumers IF the manufacturers had a list of what the "beeps" actually meant :)

[clear sequoia]

Wait so if I get the rysen 5 5600 what combo should I get?

Since all i see in newegg are combos for it

[cedar leaf]

Umm whichever one is available??

[clear sequoia]

Oh ok xd

[cedar leaf]

lol

[clear sequoia]

Hopefully i can get a combo that has either ram or a motherboard

Since my motherboard is kinda old too

[cedar leaf]

Focus on RAM

[clear sequoia]

I think it'll be compatible tho

[cedar leaf]

You realize non of the parts in your prebuilt is compatible with the new one you are going to build

You have to start from scratch

[clear sequoia]

I have a intel b75

Aw man

That sucks

[cedar leaf]

That's from 2011

We are in 2020 bro

[clear sequoia]

Yea makes sense though xd

[cedar leaf]

And your buying an AMD system

Not intel

They don't share sockets

[clear sequoia]

Aw

Thats sucky

[cedar leaf]

Every single thing has to be swapped

execpt storage

[clear sequoia]

Hm

Alright

[storm spoke]

I bought the 5600x paired with a tomahawk b550 msi

Building it soon as I get my cpu tomorrow

[clear sequoia]

Is there anyway i can select a lot of parts at once to email me when they are available?

[cedar leaf]

Dang

[cedar leaf]

Idk

[clear sequoia]

Rip

Anyone know when cpus are restocking?

[cedar leaf]

In 20 years

[clear sequoia]

I hope a bunch of them restock at once so I can it least get one

[cedar leaf]

Give it until the end of January

rn it's Christmas time

So it's prime time for scalpers and bots

so wait till after Christmas

And then stock should begin to flow Q2 of 20201

2021

[clear sequoia]

Hopefully

Well i gtg thanks for all the help

Cya

[cedar leaf]

Np

[spare gyro]

4 more in stock

[cedar leaf]

Dang

That's so overkill unless you plop an i9 in there

[spare gyro]

That’s an x570 board

[cedar leaf]

Ohh

I thought it was Z490

They make more Crosshair Z490 that's why

lol

Ok then I don't see the point in that board unless you plan on ploping a Ryzen 7 3700x in there

or better

[gloomy spear]

ok so i am getting a 3800x soon and i didnt now that 5600xs are almost the same price maybe a $30 difference but i dont want to wait until they restock

so i dont know what to do

i am upgrading from an 15 9400f 1660ti to a ryzen 5600 or 3800 and a 3060ti

[gritty meadow]

logical answer is this: make up your mind about willingness to wait or not.

simple.

[gloomy spear]

lol

i was just wondering if the jump was worth it due to performance

to wait a few weeks

[gritty meadow]

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-dive-review-5950x-5900x-5800x-and-5700x-tested

have fun, the data you need is there

[gloomy spear]

aight thx

[gritty meadow]

and it is not that i cannot give my personal opinion, but it ultimately relies on what i asked you earlier.

[gloomy spear]

well tbh what is your personal opinion

[gritty meadow]

that you make up your mind on your willingness to wait or not

[devout fiber]

Bruh i got a bit of thermal paste on the edge of the motherboard

I mean

Processor

And it got onto tbe side pins

I cleaned it with paper towels, ethyl alcohol 70%, a toothbrush

Did my cpu die :')

[charred venture]

idk try it out

[eager shore]

^

[devout fiber]

Posted

But will it like the consequences, like long term damage?

Will anything be affected overtime?

[gritty meadow]

if you have cleaned it? no

[devout fiber]

Yeah but like yk, the tootbrush and all, and i had the really scrub some parts with the paper towel

And like the brissles touching the pins

Made me cringe the entier time

Thought i was killing my new baby's processor

[gritty meadow]

parts are both way more durable and way less durable than what people think

[devout fiber]

I guess i know the less durable part, but wdym about the more durable than people think part?

Dang, if this works i might probably exploit my experiences🤔

[gritty meadow]

some people treat a ssd as if it is fragile

but the hdd as if it is more durable

when its the other way around

you can use a ssd as a hammer and it will be fine

its generally a case of people not having exposure to actual use of the parts, so they dont have any experience with that is actually okay to do with them

[devout fiber]

Ohhhh

I sewe

Thanks everyone for the help

[stray raptor]

@gritty meadow My GF got a ASUS TUF X570 and I noticed for hte MOBO power it has a 8 pin and a 4 pin. Do I need Both Connected or Just one of them cause her Power Supply only can do either the 4 or 8 pin but not both

[gritty meadow]

skip the 4pin

[stray raptor]

Ok

[gritty meadow]

the 24pin and the EPS are the only ones actually needed

EPS=8pin

[stray raptor]

Ok I figured Id ask before I tried to Power Up the system

[gritty meadow]

the extra 4pin is only if you are trying to melt the cpu

[stray raptor]

Oh No Definatly Not doing that. She is getting my R5 2600X and She got me a R7-3700X

[gritty meadow]

nice of her :)

[stray raptor]

Right

She doesnt need the CPU power Like I do

[pastel monolith]

lots of people even suggest not to plug the 4-pin in even if you have the cord so it doesnt overheat the board lol

[stray raptor]

But I cant Figure out why my BIOS isnt reading PCIe 4.0 on the current BIOS when the BIOS it came with stock showed PCIe 4.0 as a option

[pastel monolith]

I think it is basically 4.0 capable but won't run in 4.0 unless you have a 4.0 device installed

@gritty meadow might know more I dont have any pcie 4.0 motherboards

[gritty meadow]

that just does NOT make any sense, but then again, its the internet, so that part makes sense

[gritty meadow]

b450 board?

[pastel monolith]

think its still that ASUS TUF X570

[gritty meadow]

nah, thats the GF's

and he is talking about HIS board

[pastel monolith]

looks like poor reading retention on the internets part

"DO NOT connect the 4-pin power plug only, the motherboard may overheat under heavy usage.
Ensure to connect the 8-pin power plug, or both the 8-pin and 4-pin power plugs"

just cant only use 4 pin and no 8 pin

[gritty meadow]

"only" should have been in capital instead of the "do not"

[pastel monolith]

lol yeah

[gray pasture]

Hey, trying to figure out some conflicting information. PCPartspicker says that my MSI MPG X570 gaming edge wifi may need a bios update for the Ryzen 5000 series. The website for MSI's X570 says that it supports the 5000 series.

Is MSI being sly and leaving off "but you'll need a BIOS update first?"

[tacit quest]

hi hi

yes

I uh

need

ram for a ryzen build

looking for 8gb

any suggestions

[gray pasture]

I don't have an older CPU, so I'm trying to see if this MOBO is going to give me issues.

ah, brb, sorry

Sorry about that - kids got up.

[ruby laurel]

if you et old stock youll need to upgrade if you get new stock ur fine

[gray pasture]

Any idea how to tell once the box arrives?

[gritty meadow]

@gray pasture technically you cant

[ruby laurel]

if it has a sticker on it saying 5000 ready

[gritty meadow]

except, that sticker can and is, at times wrong

[gray pasture]

hahahahaha, well, would I be doing anything horrible if I tried to power it on without flashing to see what happened?

[gritty meadow]

no

[ruby laurel]

nope

[gritty meadow]

no harm in that

[ruby laurel]

u will be fine

[gray pasture]

If it turns out that I need to update the BIOS, since I don't have an older CPU, do you know if a USB will work without disassembling all the components I've plugged in?

[gritty meadow]

and you have a flash bios button

so you can update with just a usb stick

[clear sequoia]

with a Rysen 5 6000k could you run vr?

[gray pasture]

Awesome, alright. Thank you - you all made me feel so much better. I was trying to build this all throughout the day between work tasks, and getting increasingly nervous that something was going to pop.

[gritty meadow]

@gray pasture page 45 of the manual

[hollow thorn]

X570 gaming edge wifi isn't a great board, but at least it has bios flashback, which is great.

[gray pasture]

Yeah, I'm just looking for sufficient. Bummer that I need an adaptor to make the front panel USB-C connect, but I got it on sale, so I'll take it, you know?

[gritty meadow]

aye aye

[blissful dragon]

is the rog strix x570e and 5950x a good pairing?

im just a little worried about the vrms

[pale mist]

@blissful dragon generally ROG boards are great for overcloking and it looks good

[clear sequoia]

should I get this when its in stock and just buy the other stick of ram with it?

[pale mist]

Yeah, that’s probably a smart thing to do. Dual channel is a MUST on ryzen

[hollow thorn]

honestly

I'd just get a better kit of ram

and ditch that stick

[ruby laurel]

Yeah sell the stick lol

[main pulsar]

oloy isnt a bad brand, but its questionable at best

[ruby laurel]

^^

[hollow thorn]

it's just

single stick of 8gb 3200c16

I'd just grab a 2x8 3600c16 kit

[ruby laurel]

3600

[gritty meadow]

its a MUST on any consumer desktop machine

[main pulsar]

im sure it would be fine running xmp, but overclocking might not happen

look at the dimm once you get it, copy the model number into google, see what you can order with the same model number

or just sell on ebay

up to you

[ruby laurel]

Dont even open it and sell it imo

[clear sequoia]

hmmmm

I'm a bit confused but i think I'm either just gonna find a different combo or find a cheap good kit of ram to buy with the cpu

[stray raptor]

@gritty meadow Yeah Gigabyte B450 AORUS M

Sorry I was away from my PC for a little bit

[gritty meadow]

yeah, that does not have native pci-e 4.0 support

so any mention of that in the bios is just gigabyte derping about @stray raptor

[clear sequoia]

should I try and buy this then?

https://www.newegg.com/oloy-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820821362?Item=N82E16820821362

the ram ^

[blissful dragon]

the ram doesnt seem bad

actually seems good if youd want to upgrade your ram you have already

[main pulsar]

ram looks dumb, its gonna interfere with larger air coolers

[blissful dragon]

oloy has those problems lol

[main pulsar]

4000mt/s ram isnt confirmed to work well with zen 3 either, that agesa update is supposed to come sometime like next year

amd says FCLK will run at 2000 on Zen 3 in the future, but we dont really believe them

[blissful dragon]

amd says that 3600mhz is the optimal spot for ram, but however you want to play with that is up to you

[main pulsar]

worst comes to worst, you downclock the ram for the time being

[blissful dragon]

the only issue is price to performance if price is a concern

[clear sequoia]

this is the only other good one I see

[main pulsar]

thats better

[blissful dragon]

thats shorter too

more clearance lmao

[clear sequoia]

lol

so should I go for that one?

[blissful dragon]

I think it looks good

if you dont mind white ram

[clear sequoia]

yea its alright

[blissful dragon]

what are the timings of the ram just out of curiosity?

[clear sequoia]

lemme see

https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820164221?Item=N82E16820164221

bruh i dont even think it says the timings

[blissful dragon]

CL16

not bad not bad

[clear sequoia]

oh thats the speed?

[blissful dragon]

in a general sense its the time between actions

[clear sequoia]

hm

[stray raptor]

@gritty meadow My Motherboard Does Support it according to the Manufacturer website

[clear sequoia]

ok welp I'll save it and auto notify myself when it goes on sale

[blissful dragon]

sounds good

[clear sequoia]

I bought a dumb prebuilt that cost a lot and had old parts so I'm just starting fresh

[blissful dragon]

hey me too

well a 7700 isnt that old but

potato potato

[clear sequoia]

in my prebuilt I have a core i5 and a Nvidia Gtx 650

[gritty meadow]

@stray raptor no, it does not

[clear sequoia]

only 1 stick of ram

a B75 motherboard

and some very loud fans xd

[stray raptor]

@gritty meadow Im gonna check But it stated only with a compatible Motherboard

[gritty meadow]

from the page for your board

[stray raptor]

WTF

[gritty meadow]

it does not matter one single bit

[stray raptor]

THen Why the hell did the original BIOS state that it had 4.0 support

[hollow thorn]

Mobo manufacturers were dumb on Zen 2 beta bioses

[gritty meadow]

because Gigabyte was derping about, as i said earlier

[hollow thorn]

Iirc a good few of them got supposed pcie 4.0 support

[gritty meadow]

aye

which amd THANKFULLY enforced with AGESA changes

because i do NOT want to think of the clusterhump that would have been "random-ish" pci-e 4.0 support

[stray raptor]

So Would the BIOS Update for the 5000 Series that should be launched for my MOBO Next Month Enable the 4.0 capability

Just wondering

[gritty meadow]

no

[hollow thorn]

The limitation is hardware

Not software

You can't exactly make traces on a motherboard higher performance to run a faster protocol.

[stray raptor]

Oh So Upgrading to the R7 3700X wasnt worth it then

[hollow thorn]

Not for PCIe 4.0, but for performance it was likely a good choice

[stray raptor]

I have noticed a Major Performance Increase thats for sure

Now I cant get my GF System to read the Hard Drive that booted on her old motherboard

[gritty meadow]

sata or m.2?

[stray raptor]

SATA

[gritty meadow]

tried a different port?

[stray raptor]

It reads the Drive but says its not Bootable

[gritty meadow]

did her old system have 2 drives?

[stray raptor]

No

Only the 1 500gb HDD

[gritty meadow]

windows usb stick, only sane way

[stray raptor]

I mean we are getting a 500gb NVMe drive on friday for it

What do I have to do just reinstall windows

Or Refresh Windows

[gritty meadow]

you can try and run a repair from it

[stray raptor]

ok

Hopefully the windows usb disk I have will fix it cause i did just update the system to 20H2

[prime echo]

Im curious, but how come Newegg Canada doesnt carry the HYperX Fury RGB memory modules?

[slim nymph]

https://www.newegg.ca/hyperx-8gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820104757

?

These?

[prime echo]

Thats not the RGB version.

[slim nymph]

Oh.

weird

[prime echo]

These are what I was looking for.

[slim nymph]

oh

https://www.newegg.ca/hyperx-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/2KY-0009-000T9?Description=hyperx rgb&cm_re=hyperx_rgb-_-9SIAAYYADK1147-_-Product

These?

[prime echo]

Yeah those. But those arent in a 4X8 kit >-<

The speed is right though.

[slim nymph]

just buy 2 kits

[prime echo]

The seller has extremely questionable ratings. 45% positive.

[slim nymph]

as long as the timings are the same, and frequecies are the same it'll work.

ooh

yeah

even the us one isn't great

[prime echo]

:/ I hope NewEgg Canada gets good stock of those kits.

My next choice is GSkill Neo. But eh

https://www.newegg.ca/hyperx-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/2KY-0009-00104?Item=9SIA93KBX69351

But there are these which I could go for.

[slim nymph]

true!

[prime echo]

Prices sure suck for a 3700X, a Rog Strix B550-E Gaming, and 2 of those memory kits.

🤣

[slim nymph]

oof

[prime echo]

Msi B550 Gaming Carbon Wifi is so much cheaper then Asus' b550. lol

[slim nymph]

oh yeah.

[prime echo]

I can shave off 70 bucks. :P

[slim nymph]

ooh!

Big saving!

[prime echo]

Yeah. I shaved off 23 more by getting rid of the protection plan on it.

Tis what MSI's warranty service would be for.

Got it down to 1,183.03 dollars. Whew.

Its too bad there wasnt an option to ship everything in one order when all the parts were in. So everything would arrive here in a single box.

[slim nymph]

one box is always nice.

I'm still waiting for newegg to ship my powersupply

then I'll be living in luxury.

[prime echo]

Im converting my Intel system over to AMD, for better rendering and stuff. lol

Ive ordered the same parts from amazon on November 24th, and they still havent arrived yet. And parts were delayed 4 times now, might end up getting a refund.

[slim nymph]

computer parts are rough

[prime echo]

Ill order from NewEgg then, since I dunno if Purolator is experience delays to.

Computer parts are even more rough when your Canadian XD

Ive been wanting to get a new GPU to, but it looks like unless NewEgg opens up backorders, I might not be getting one till 2022.

[naive pendant]

how many case fan headers does the x570 taichi have

[slim nymph]

4 I think

[clear sequoia]

brooo the rgb on the ram looks fire my guy

anyone know what motherboard works with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X? I haven't found anything that's actually compatible

it says warning when ever I put pretty much any motherboard I find with it

[gritty meadow]

because it depends on the age of the stock

but any b550 and any x570 will work IF the right bios is present

[clear sequoia]

whats bios? xd

[naive pendant]

it's something that allows system initialisation when booting

[clear sequoia]

so would I have to download it off the internet when I buy it or?

[naive pendant]

can look like this for instance

you have to check if your mb has the bios you need to boot up a system with a 5xxx cpu

[clear sequoia]

hmmm

ok

lemme see

[naive pendant]

it usually says 5th gen compatible or sumthing like that

on the box or the website

[clear sequoia]

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-x570-phantom-gaming-4s/p/N82E16813157915?Item=N82E16813157915&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-N.tAZIbT3JTzqg_IKnnglQ

I think it only says 2000 and 3000 gen

[clear sequoia]

yeaa

[naive pendant]

click on that

[clear sequoia]

hm? oh ok

[naive pendant]

and you can follow the steps

or you could contact the seller

to double check compatibility

[clear sequoia]

this is what it supports

I dont think the Ryzen 5 5600x is there

unless its renamed there

OH NVM

[naive pendant]

these are sockets

cpu sockets

[clear sequoia]

yeaaaa

for the board

[naive pendant]

that's right

[clear sequoia]

I clicked on one and it said everything

lemme see

[naive pendant]

ight

[clear sequoia]

yea my cpu isn't in it

time to keep lookin

[naive pendant]

well it does say you can flash your bios for it to be compatible with your cpu

[clear sequoia]

flash?

[naive pendant]

https://images10.newegg.com/uploadfilesfornewegg/rebate/SH/ASRockNov04Dec3120jd56.pdf

d'you read this ?

for the gaming 4S

[clear sequoia]

yea but it doesnt have my cpu on the list

[naive pendant]

where's the list ?

[clear sequoia]

lemme find the board again

http://www.asrock.com/support/cpu.asp

that

I dont see any part that actually says my cpu

it says Ryzen 5 3600XT but not the Ryzen 5 5600X

[naive pendant]

this link shows socket types

5600X = AM4 Socket

[clear sequoia]

oh

I didn't see that

lemme check again

oh yea

I'm blind xd

[naive pendant]

all cool 🙂

[clear sequoia]

so all in all it would be compatible with the cpu?

[naive pendant]

should be

you could contact the retailer to double check

but if you flash the bios correctly following the steps in the pdf file you should be fine

[clear sequoia]

hm ok

well thanks for all your help 😎

[elfin warren]

Any X570 board will support Ryzen 5000

Might need a BIOS update first though

[clear sequoia]

yea

ok

welp on to the other stuff

I already have some parts since I'm gonna use my old pc with my new one I'm making

aka the storage, case, and some others

[naive pendant]

what's up

[clear sequoia]

hey uh is there anyway to see the name of the case on the case?

[naive pendant]

to physically see the name of the case on it ?

[clear sequoia]

yea

I kinda wanted to see if my case would be compatible

it should though since its an ATX case

[naive pendant]

you want to know if your case is compatible ??

[clear sequoia]

yea

[naive pendant]

what's your case and motherboard ?

[clear sequoia]

idk xd

all I know is that I have a B75 motherboard

[naive pendant]

o well, i'm assuming you're getting a Gaming 4S

[clear sequoia]

mhm

here lemme send a pic

[naive pendant]

well, what are you changing in your system

the motherboard

[clear sequoia]

motherboard, gpu, cpu, fans maybe and thats it

[naive pendant]

i would say you should first determine your new motherboard

and you should also send me the name of your case

[naive pendant]

then we'll see if they're compatible

[clear sequoia]

Idk the name of the case i got messed over by getting a pre built

[naive pendant]

gotchu

looks like a full sized one

[clear sequoia]

Yea

[naive pendant]

so ATX and M-ATX would be compatible

[clear sequoia]

Mhm

Lemme see the motherboard then

[naive pendant]

alright

[clear sequoia]

Yea

It says atx motherboard

So it should be alright

And if its not welp i guess I'll buy a new case then sell tbe one I have rn

When I get the motherboard

[stuck basin]

So I have a TUF X570 and i hate it, have way too many issues w it so im swapping out and ive got like a $550 budget for motherboards so im trying to narrow down between a few options

Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master WiFi

[spare gyro]

If you have that much for a board get the dark hero.

[stuck basin]

I need something that's got a lot of fan headers. at least 4 or 5

if it's got them then im sold lol

[elfin warren]

Just get a PWM fan controller/splitter? They're about $10

[stuck basin]

almost everything I have is wired together. I have 9 fans in my case and about 6 of them are in a controller

[clear sequoia]

yeeesh

why do you have so many fans? xd

[fallen lynx]

probably 011 dynamic with all the fans

[eager shore]

lmao

[deft inlet]

good pick ? https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b550m-pro4/p/N82E16813157939?Item=9SIAN0MBW23643

[eager shore]

that mobo is normally like 90 bucks

if you plan on spending that much, get the b550m aorus pro

if you plan on getting a cheap-decent board, get the b550 phantom gaming 4

[deft inlet]

B550M AORUS PRO does not really say much about the m.2 slots i have no ideal what are the speeds 32/64 GB ?

@eager shore

[hollow thorn]

@M4 Sherman#8988 M.2_1 is PCIe 4.0 x4
M.2_2 is pcie 3.0 x4

HMMM

[deft inlet]

speeds though

[hollow thorn]

What's with my pings today

Speeds depend on the drive

[short hedge]

does anyone know if an i5-9400f is compatible with this?

MSI B460M-A PRO ProSeries Motherboard (mATX, 10th Gen Intel Core, LGA 1200 Socket, DDR4, M.2 Slot, USB 3.2 Gen 1, 2.5G LAN, DVI/HDMI)

[hollow thorn]

No

9400f is a lga1151 chip

[short hedge]

ah ok ok

[deft inlet]

limt of the speeds of the slot

[hollow thorn]

The protocol is the limit, so pcie 4.0x4 allows up to ~8GB/s

Pcie 3.0x4 allows up to around ~4GB/s

[deft inlet]

Express module up to Gen4x4 (64Gb/s) (with Matisse) or Gen3x4 (32Gb/s) (with Renoir)**

confused you said 4 ?

[hollow thorn]

Notice the GB/s for gigaBYTES per second
Vs Gb/s for gigaBITS per second

8 bits in a byte

[deft inlet]

4GB/s is how many Gb/s

[hollow thorn]

4*8=32

[deft inlet]

oh ok

i get it

ty

i am building my first computer so yea

[hollow thorn]

Would've been an interesting discussion if you didn't xD

Ok

[tranquil silo]

it always pisses me off when someone says Gb instead of GB and vice versa...but im a hypocrite and typo that all the time as well so... :P

[hollow thorn]

me too

[thorny gate]

anyone know if u can take a x370 motherboard out and swap it with a b550 without wipinbg the whole pc?

[hollow thorn]

wdym

@thorny gate as in reinstall windows..?

[thorny gate]

yea dont wanna wipe if i dont have to

finally got my strix b550-f in today

[hollow thorn]

It's suggested you do because windows gets screwy with activation when you swap mobo, since I believe they tie the license to the mobo

[gritty meadow]

its tied to different "parts" of the system

and since the mainboard is a LOT of different parts ...

[thorny gate]

i wont lose my windows huh?

[fallen lynx]

it CAN be done, its just a big hassle

[gritty meadow]

migrate your key to a online microsoft account

and it wont be a problem

[fallen lynx]

win10 handles a MB swap fairly well now a days compared to past versions

[thorny gate]

yea i use a microsoft account

[fallen lynx]

not counting activation

[thorny gate]

i sign in through email

[gritty meadow]

then things normally just work @thorny gate

[thorny gate]

o ok thanks

[gritty meadow]

but as always, have a windows install usb stick ready

in case it just acts up like crazy :)

[forest niche]

Which one of these motherboards are best? This one https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-z490-e-gaming/p/N82E16813119268?Description=ASUS Z490-E&cm_re=ASUS_Z490-E-_-13-119-268-_-Product&quicklink=true or this one https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119271?Item=9SIAFVFBH44211&Description=Asus tuf z490 wifi&cm_re=Asus_tuf z490 wifi-_-13-119-271-_-Product&quicklink=true or this one https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119289?Description=asus prime z490-a&cm_re=asus_prime z490-a-_-13-119-289-_-Product&quicklink=true

[hollow thorn]

Well, they're at very different price points

@forest niche what are you looking for in the motherboard, and what are you going to use it for?

[forest niche]

Gaming, playing minecraft

I have a asus tuf 3080 non overclocked

[hollow thorn]

what cpu

[forest niche]

and intel core i7 10700K

[hollow thorn]

@forest niche and what kind of IO are you looking for, and do you need wifi?

[forest niche]

idk what IO means

i dont care wheter i have wifi or not

[hollow thorn]

I/O as in input/output, mainly all the ports on the back of the motherboard, USB ports, ethernet port, audio jacks, etc.

[forest niche]

um

[hollow thorn]

So if you're looking to plug in 10 usb drives, that's one consideration

[forest niche]

at least 3 usb

[hollow thorn]

Well, this will do you well then
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087YP3HBT

[pliant cypress]

I've seen aorus boards having a good amount of usb 3.0+ and 2.0 ports

[hollow thorn]

Good VRMs if you ever want to look into OCing your 10700k

it's a bit scarce in terms of IO, but still 5 usb type a ports

[forest niche]

ok

btw i have 32 gb RAM and this monitor : https://www.newegg.com/black-samsung-odyssey-g7-lc27g75tqsnxza-27/p/N82E16824022815?Item=N82E16824022815

[hoary cedar]

I need help getting my RAM to run at the rated speed

[elfin warren]

AMD, use DOCP. Intel, use XMP

[hollow thorn]

fair

[hoary cedar]

I have a single DDR4-2133 16GB G.Skill stick

[elfin warren]

oh

[hoary cedar]

And according to hwinfo64 I'm currently running at 800MHz

[elfin warren]

you really should have 2 sticks

[hoary cedar]

And only using 1/2 channels

[elfin warren]

Single channel performance is gross

[hollow thorn]

interesting

why only single stick?

[elfin warren]

What motherboard

[pliant cypress]

that says 3200mhz

[hoary cedar]

I had no idea what I was doing when I built this PC like three years ago 😅

msi B250 PC MATE

Model is MSI MS-7A72

[elfin warren]

Need to go into the board BIOS and look for the XMP setting

[hoary cedar]

It's on yeah

[elfin warren]

And really try to get two sticks.

Well, XMP may be on but is the correct profile selected?

[hoary cedar]

Not really sure what I'm doing lol. I enabled Memory Try It! stage 1 earlier today to see if it made a difference. It was off before tho.

[elfin warren]

The line above that

DRAM FREQUENCY

Should be some options there

[hoary cedar]

I also changed DRAM Frequency from the default 1066 to the max 2133

[elfin warren]

Then it's fine

[hoary cedar]

Oh this is new

There's two new options that are slightly higher.

[elfin warren]

There ya go

Sometimes you have to enable XMP, save and restart to see all the options

[hoary cedar]

Should I select a higher Memory Try It stage?

[elfin warren]

Let me read the manual and see what that does

[hoary cedar]

There's 1, 2, 3, or Off.

[elfin warren]

I would just select the profile you want and then turn that off

If it takes away the profile you want, turn it on. The description is very generic and....odd

[hoary cedar]

I turned it off the the freq reset back. I've set it back to 2400 now

[elfin warren]

K, save and restart then go back into the BIOS and make sure the settings stuck

[hoary cedar]

brb for 30 min

Will do when I get back, thanks

Isn't 2400MHz not 3200MHz tho?

[elfin warren]

Fastest your board supports is 2400 from what I've read

Is it a 3200mhz stick?

If you have a 7th Gen INtel, fastest you can go is 2400 MHZ

H270/ B250 chipset + 7th Gen processors support DDR4
2400/ 2133 MHz*

If it's a 3200mhz stick, the BIOS is just reading the XMP profile and displaying it, doesn't mean it will go that fast

[sick lodge]

should i upgrade to a set of G.Skill ripjaws 2x16 memory or should i just get another 2x8 Vengeance LPX kit?

opinions?

[slim nymph]

how many sticks you got now?

[elfin warren]

If you only have 1 stick now and only have 2 slots, 16 GB of ram will do you just fine

Ah, board has 4 slots

but you don't want 3 sticks

So you'd remove the current stick OR get another single stick to match

Getting another single is probably the best idea

Then it's plug and play with no setup or BIOS changes needed

[prime echo]

Oh wow, my HyperX memory is in from Amazon finally O_o

Now to wait on my 3700X and B550 <3

[blissful dragon]

really quick question

I got a 5950x from an amazon drop

kinda waiting for it to ship

any thoughts on when it might?

say... 1 or 2 days?

granted I bought the item at like 2am (this morning)

[tranquil silo]

just relax

and celebrate lol

[blissful dragon]

that is very true

[hoary cedar]

So we're running slightly faster

[elfin warren]

That's 2133. However, I'd recommend checking CPU-Z also

It will give you more useful information

[hoary cedar]

Oh right because half.

[elfin warren]

Ye

[tranquil silo]

they dont call it double data rate for no reason

[hoary cedar]

So the highest I can go is 1200MHz

[elfin warren]

Ye

[hoary cedar]

Well I went to the BIOS before I got to check CPU-Z. I'm trying memory try it stage 3 in case that does anything.

The 2400MHz setting did in fact save but it doesn't appear to be running my RAM at said speed.

Though it should set it to 1200, no?

[tranquil silo]

use memtest with memtesthelper if you're OCing. idk if you are or not

[hoary cedar]

O h ?

[elfin warren]

mmhmmm

[hoary cedar]

Is it finally running at the speed it should be?

[elfin warren]

That's what it should be

Yes

[hoary cedar]

s w e e t

I'm not OCing past rated speeds.

[elfin warren]

No

If it's a 3200mhz stick, you're under it

[hoary cedar]

I just want to play half life alyx at higher than 30fps ;_;

[elfin warren]

Eh

what GPU?

[hoary cedar]

It's in my nick.

[elfin warren]

Oh

I see

HOnestly

[hoary cedar]

CPU is 7700 (non k)

[elfin warren]

your ram clock won't help

Adding another stick for dual channel will do WAY MORE than a couple hundred MHZ on ram speed

[hoary cedar]

All supersampling is off, I've set the process priority of vrcompositor, the game, and oculus to realtime...

[elfin warren]

What we just did here isn't going to do hardly anything

[hoary cedar]

Still HLA requires SteamVR. Any other games I've been able to bypass SteamVR using OpenComposite and they run locked at max. But HLA requires SteamVR and thus runs like garbage

yeah I just wanted to make sure the RAM was running the best it could until I can upgrade.

[elfin warren]

👍

[hoary cedar]

Where should I ask about optimizing game performance? #gaming ?

[elfin warren]

That's a good spot

For VR

[hoary cedar]

Alright thanks for the help. 🤞

[tranquil silo]

If you're running single channel memory, your performance is gonna tank regardless. ALWAYS use dual channel. Plus memory is hella cheap rn

prolly get a 16GB kit for $60

[hoary cedar]

Newegg sadly doesn't seem to like the fact I moved to France earlier this year

[tranquil silo]

use a different site to buy stuff lol

[hoary cedar]

I dislike french shopping sites.

Got scammed buying a hard drive last month.

But eh I'll have to get used to it

[azure cave]

best bang for the buck mini itx motherboard that supports am4 and has wifi

[slim nymph]

I have never replaced the thermal paste on my PC

Is this why it's on fire?

[solar stratus]

What's the best $200-250 x570 mobo for ryzen 5000

[elfin warren]

How old is it?

[solar stratus]

Specifically the 5800x

[slim nymph]

3 years! :D

I was lazy :P

[solar stratus]

My thermal pasta is 2 years old and Temps are still decent so idk what happened to your pc in the year between when they were made @slim nymph

[elfin warren]

NOt lazy, it's fine

That person was trolling hard

[slim nymph]

That guy in general chat?

[elfin warren]

ye

[slim nymph]

But yeah, I keep forgetting to replace my thermal paste frequently!

[elfin warren]

You don't really need to.....

[solar stratus]

@elfin warren ru familiar with am4?

[elfin warren]

ye

Mobo Question?

X570 TUF GAming WiFI

best bang for the buck

and under your budget

[slim nymph]

You should though! Thermal paste can dry out.

[solar stratus]

That's what I figured.

[elfin warren]

I has one

It's awesome

[slim nymph]

Asus Tuf series is dope

[late pine]

thermal paste lasts like 6 years at least

[solar stratus]

Would taking looks into account change that opinion?

[elfin warren]

That^^^^

Looks are subjective

Recommending something based purely on looks isn't always a great idea

[slim nymph]

I used preapplied thermal paste, so who knows how crusty it got.

[solar stratus]

I'm going for a black build with rgb

And silver accents

[elfin warren]

Ok

The TUF has those

[slim nymph]

You can paint over yellows

[solar stratus]

Sounds like that's my choice then

[slim nymph]

Or sharpie

[solar stratus]

I was on the fence because the x570 taichi has good reviews

[late pine]

I'm using my pre-applied thermal paste with kraken x63 and it works fine

[slim nymph]

X570 taichi is on sale rn

[solar stratus]

Where

[elfin warren]

It has a tad bit of RGB too

[slim nymph]

Newegg

Check hot deals channel

[solar stratus]

Ok

[elfin warren]

$270

[slim nymph]

It's a solid board for OCing

[elfin warren]

The TUF will do all that for $190 though

I'm 4.6 GHZ all core 3700X on mine

[slim nymph]

But tuf gaming doesn't have a post code.

[solar stratus]

I have a tuf x470 gaming plus rn

[elfin warren]

WDYM

[slim nymph]

And that makes life so much easier!

[solar stratus]

But I'm building a new pc so

[elfin warren]

use a speaker

they're like $.50

plug into mobo header

[late pine]

^

unless you are overclocking on a regular basis a post code probably isn't worth the cost premium

[elfin warren]

At this point, it's all about looks, so that would be your choice

[solar stratus]

Probably either Tuf x570 or Taichi then depending on sales and if I get a bonus

[slim nymph]

If I wanted to hear my computer dying, I would cover the gpu in thermal paste.

[elfin warren]

Whatever you feel would fit your build better

[slim nymph]

Yeah.

[solar stratus]

Aorus was also in the running

[slim nymph]

Asus tuf is still a solid mobo

[elfin warren]

THe Aorus had VRM heat issues if I remember right

It was them or MSI, can't remember for sure

[slim nymph]

I just like the taichi because it is also a solid mobo.

[elfin warren]

It's just fine except the price

I feel $270 for what you get is a bit too much compared to others

[solar stratus]

Ok. Thanks for your help!

[elfin warren]

YW

[solar stratus]

I'm building in an o11 dynamic black with the newest lian li fans

It's gonna be sick

[slim nymph]

Honestly

Only do the taichi if you are REALLY into overclocking.

[solar stratus]

I do want to oc it as far as it can go

Cuz its gonna be for CAD work as well as gaming

And of course I gotta benchmark it too

Make those scores look good

[elfin warren]

Yeah, TUF OC's just fine

So will the Taichi

comes down to money and looks

[slim nymph]

Yeah, tuf OCs fine.

They're both solid boards for OCing

Taichi is just cleaner looking and I like post codes.

Actually wait

TUF CHOOSE TUF

Asrock bios is bad

It hurts just thinking about it.

[solar stratus]

Lmao

Tuf bios is so easy to use

[slim nymph]

Yeah!

[solar stratus]

I have a tuf x470 and a 2600x rn

[slim nymph]

I use a lot of strix boards.

I was thinking of finally using a maximus board.

But is it really worth it?

I don't think so :D

[prisma nymph]

aorus gang

[fallen lynx]

all that is is branding anyway

to make you think its special

[violet zealot]

Marketing marketing marketing

[restive crest]

WHY is everyone gettimg strix boards its actually, not pissing me off but its freaking me out way to much

i see it LITERALLY EVERY WHERE

[hollow thorn]

what

[restive crest]

about people flexing on these strix boards but there are better boards

[hollow thorn]

I haven't seen a strix board in a bit

[restive crest]

.> lucky

[hollow thorn]

When I do I swap it for something else in a list :P

[quick fiber]

whats a good motherboard for a i7 9700k thats micro ATX?

[slim thistle]

X570s are pointless for 99% of ppl

Just get a b550

[elfin warren]

3600 CL16

[prisma nymph]

i thought the 0.11 difference in speed would be made up for in the performance the cpu would gain from higher freq

[elfin warren]

Lower timings are almost always better

Plus with Ryzen you need to sync the Fclock and Ram speed

RIght now FLOCK won't work at 2000

ANd no guarantees it will be able to in the near future

It's still an overclock for FLOCK so stick with the lower timing 3600 mhz

[lean warren]

So is this a good deal?

[lean warren]
