#

Ok sorry i forgot..

#

Thank u I appreciate it 😄

#

Im just planning to buy b550 motherboard because my motherboard got broked.. and my friend gave me his old mobo and its asus prime b450m-a

pale mist Feb 28, 2021, 4:19 PM

#

U got it

errant knoll Feb 28, 2021, 4:19 PM

#

Should I get b550? Or stick with my currently mobo?

pale mist Feb 28, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

What do u have now?

errant knoll Feb 28, 2021, 4:23 PM

#

#

This is what im using rn. Should I stick with this or get b550 mobo?

rocky beacon Feb 28, 2021, 4:24 PM

#

Get a budget B550 board

errant knoll Feb 28, 2021, 4:24 PM

#

Ok ok thanks cody!

pale mist Feb 28, 2021, 4:24 PM

#

Ok hold on for a sec

#

This WILL work with a 3600

errant knoll Feb 28, 2021, 4:25 PM

#

pale mist This WILL work with a 3600

Yeah..

pale mist Feb 28, 2021, 4:25 PM

#

And probably just fine, but no upgradeability

#

And those vrms look.... shotty

errant knoll Feb 28, 2021, 4:25 PM

#

Wdym no upgradeablity? Sorry im a noobie 😅

errant knoll Feb 28, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

pale mist And those vrms look.... shotty

Hahaha so imma get some b550 😂

pale mist Feb 28, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

Well, it has upgradeability but just not a good one

#

Can’t imagine that thing will play nicely with a 5600x

#

Or above

errant knoll Feb 28, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

Hahahaha ok ok thanks donbot!

pale mist Feb 28, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

My advice is to sell the b450, and advertise it as a ryzen mobo

#

At least you will get some of your money back

errant knoll Feb 28, 2021, 4:28 PM

#

Yes I will thank u again!

Alright so my boss asked me if I could make his old computer a bit faster, it's a 2008 office pc using a G41 motherboard that has only 2GB of ram running windows. It supports up 2x4gb ddr3 1066. If I throw in 2 ddr3 1600 sticks will it down lock them to 1066 or just fail to show up? I know motherboards have gotten better with that over time.

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 5:31 PM

#

Depends on the motherboard

#

What brand?

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 5:33 PM

#

Asus P5G41 T-M

#

I know all modern motherboards do it but this thing's 13 years old and have no clue if down clocking over specced ram was a thing

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

maxes out at 1333.

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

Will it not downclock 1600? Those are the cheapest sticks I can find

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

It will downclock the 1600 to 1333

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

Aight

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

Honestly, that probs won't do a whole lot either

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

The man is running windows 10 on 2gb of ram

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

Better investment would be an SSD as well if you want a real speed boost

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

Oh I already have one lined up

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

Good

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

I'm not the big stoopid

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

That will make the most difference

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

Tbf

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

Never said nor assumed you were stupid

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

Ram increase will make a reasonable difference

#

Considering he's at 2gb for windows 10

#

It literally can't open chrome without using .5 gb of pagefile

#

And that's for one blank tab LOL

#

Is ddr3L backwards compatible with ddr3 on older chipsets?

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 5:41 PM

#

Yes

crimson bison Feb 28, 2021, 7:47 PM

#

ok, i completely forgot to download my drivers for my mobo and cpu

#

do i just download them and thats it or do i need to drag em into some sort of folder

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

Download, unzip, install

crimson bison Feb 28, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

thats it

elfin warren Feb 28, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

yes

#

There's a setup.exe in the unzipped folder

crimson bison Feb 28, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

for mobo which drivers do i need to download

silk vapor Feb 28, 2021, 10:12 PM

#

@void jolt The RAM is purchased!

void jolt Feb 28, 2021, 10:13 PM

#

cool

silk vapor Feb 28, 2021, 10:14 PM

#

@void jolt One thing, regradless of clock speed. Does you need a better CPU to handle the CAS timings or it is just the RAM itself?

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 10:15 PM

#

Alright, Motherboard is an asus P5G41T-M. Cpu is a dual core pentium e5700. Would going to a core2 quad Q9550 be worth it for $25?

#

and will it work? It says the g41 chipset supports it but is there somewhere I can find compatible cpus for every motherboard?

rocky beacon Feb 28, 2021, 10:20 PM

#

Why are you spending any money on a Core 2 series

#

For $25 you could get a i5-2500

#

You can get $13 Dell Optiplex motherboards for 2nd and 3rd gen CPUs

#

Do I recommend it, No

#

But you could

That's not what they are asking at all

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 10:21 PM

#

upgrading boss pc

#

everything already in there

#

it's a lot easier

#

to just slot in a new cpu

rocky beacon Feb 28, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

For that price not really

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

then to try to explain to my boss that I'm throwing out the motherboard

rocky beacon Feb 28, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

Ah

marble knot Feb 28, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

lol

#

what os r u running on pc?

rocky beacon Feb 28, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

Q6600 should be super cheap but alright

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

you think it's slower single core would be a problem?

#

the e5700 has 30% higher single core performance

#

that's why I was thinking q9550

#

do you think going from 2 to 4 cores for an office pc running windows 10 will make much of a difference?

#

his daughter also occasionally plays roblox on there too

marble knot Feb 28, 2021, 10:26 PM

#

win 10ON A DUAL CORE???

shy wyvern Feb 28, 2021, 10:27 PM

#

it's not too slow actually

#

what's keeping it back is the hdd

#

I have an ssd on the way

#

also

#

he's running on 2gb of ram

#

and it's the shortest ram sticks I have EVER seen

#

they baby ram

#

#

That's my pinky for scale

#

Its literally as tall as my pinky it's so short

saw this list after i looked at that dominator ram and its b-die apparently?

new to ram so idk

limber dragon Mar 1, 2021, 12:37 AM

Is the lower CL worth the cost?

grizzled bloom Mar 1, 2021, 1:17 AM

#

You'll want 4000, not 3600

#

4000 C16 is good

limber dragon Mar 1, 2021, 1:17 AM

#

if you want 64gb total, just get crucial 2x32s

#

64gb of bdie will not run synced at 4000mts

grizzled bloom Mar 1, 2021, 1:19 AM

Yeah true that much would strain the controller a bit

and 3600 16-22-22-42 1.45v is 💩 compared to 3600 16-18-18-36 1.35v

even if it was 3600 14-22-22-42 vs 3600 16-18-18-36, the cl16 is still the better kit

is there anyway to add wifi to a motherboard that isnt usb wifi?

hollow thorn Mar 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

Yes, PCIe wireless adapters

elfin warren Mar 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

Of course

light valley Mar 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

how do i check to see if its compatible with my mobo?

elfin warren Mar 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

Your motherboard should hve a short PCI-E slot unless it's ITX

rocky beacon Mar 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

Does you motherboard have PCIe slots lmao

hollow thorn Mar 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

For example, maybe this thing
https://www.newegg.com/fenvi-fv-ax3000-pci-express/p/0XM-00JK-00075

rocky beacon Mar 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

You could get a USB one also

hollow thorn Mar 1, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

That uses any PCIe x1, x4, x16 slots

#

USB wifi can be wacky

#

Some people have decent experiences, most I hear from say the connection is unstable

mine is terrible

elfin warren Mar 1, 2021, 3:20 PM

Is it in a USB 3.0 port?

#

If so, try a 2.0 port

rocky beacon Mar 1, 2021, 3:20 PM

#

Make sure its not in a front panel USB connector either

#

Could have bad antennas also

yea theres a few walls from the pathway of my pc to the router

Not really

#

Expensive

Just get an add in card

#

Just dont put it right next to the fans

hollow thorn Mar 1, 2021, 3:27 PM

#

Generally it won't be straight up against the GPU anyways

#

or you'd have a free slot that's fairly far away from the GPU.

elfin warren Mar 1, 2021, 3:28 PM

#

Okay, any guys with 15+ years experience under their belt, who's familiar with a B450 + Ryzen Matisse-based 3800x processor (stock cooler)?
I have a friend who has an issue, of which the go-to solution is currently eluding me due to FRIED BRAINS and a high fever over 102F ...
His issue is that he says the processor is REALLY slow, the change was night and day.
I have told him to reset CMOS by loading the optimized defaults after checking and writing down for later his boot order priorities.
I told him to use DDU (via Guru3d dot com), after downloading a new nvidia (1080) driver, to blast out the old one and restart once or twice and install the new one (due to possibly a latency issue which'll show up in latencymon)
This is happening in most all games, if not all. This leads me to think it might be an issue with his aging 1080 8gb card (or it's drivers!) which was bought soon are it came out / new.
Could a Winblows 10 update have caused this / did anyone else have that happen / how did you fix if so?
System is using a stock cooler, has an ample PSU, fans appear to be working and it was recently cleaned this past month about a week ago. Plenty of RAM, 3200mhz CL16 32gb worth (2x 16gb sticks).

#

Things are running 1/2 to 1/3rd speed, sometimes slower. I asked him if maybe someone replaced his trusty Ryzen with a intel CPU, and to look for a mysteriously appeared intel logo on the case, and he sweats he's still using Ryzen CPU.

elfin warren Mar 2, 2021, 12:23 AM

#

SOunds like a virus. My 3700x still speedy as ever.

#

use Task manager and check processes as well as some kind of OSD in games

#

Also check task manager to make sure his ram didn't default to 2133 some how

long acorn Mar 2, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

Yeah my 3950x is still going strong as is my 3700x which is living in it's box until I get my Steaming-pile-of-ASRock motherboard back from RMA pergatory.

elfin warren Mar 2, 2021, 12:25 AM

#

Also run something like CrystalDisk to make sure the disk isn't taking a dump

long acorn Mar 2, 2021, 12:28 AM

#

(shame on me not using Asus the first time like I did all the other times I built a computer for ME)... I will have him try Windows defender scan and then a commercial/open-source antivirus if the first pulls up nothing.
He says it's constant, even on games that aren't using disc access, not a barrage of hitching or low-fps sections while new chunks of scenery get paged to ram/vram from disk c: and rendered on-screen.
I've actually seen a disk really mess up Windows performance and said game performance a number of times though, especially if the controller host chip + drive firmware are trying to figure out what the heck is going wrong by constantly re-reading the disk. so it's not to say it's doubtful, it's not very common, but I will instruct him to get latency monitor and a look at the RAM speed.

limber dragon Mar 2, 2021, 12:29 AM

#

could also check if he ever installed chipset drivers

elfin warren Mar 2, 2021, 12:30 AM

#

I'm wondering if BIOS removed the XMP

#

Just use Task Manger

limber dragon Mar 2, 2021, 12:30 AM

clearing cmos probably did, but it wouldnt be night and day difference

elfin warren Mar 2, 2021, 12:30 AM

Probs not

#

Still seems like a hallmark Virus issue

#

Like a miner virus

long acorn Mar 2, 2021, 12:31 AM

#

yeah i was thinking miner virus too

#

Would there be any way 'slightly bent' CPU pins could cause this?

elfin warren Mar 2, 2021, 12:33 AM

#

Not unless they've taken it out

long acorn Mar 2, 2021, 12:33 AM

#

He's trying to tell me 'it's because CPU pins are bent' ... he's not very skilled at hardware but can do game modding stuff. He could have messed up the thermal paste too if he took it out.

elfin warren Mar 2, 2021, 12:34 AM

#

I mean, if they took it out and then the problems started, sure. But this came out of nowhere.

long acorn Mar 2, 2021, 12:35 AM

long acorn Mar 2, 2021, 12:38 AM

#

limber dragon see if he's open to making a fresh os on a second drive or something, would tell...

I just mentioned this to him one hour ago, as after checking all the simple fixes to see if that worked (like cord stuck in cpu fan, fan not cranked down all the way and is laying in bottom of case, machine not plugged in, and so-on).

#

When I can't fix an issue quickly, an OS re-install fixes 98% of stuff, it is very seldom hardware related unless the case was opened by inexperienced users / or opened by dissatisfied Karens looking for a manager.

#

Well I will let y'all know what it is if / when we find a solution. Sucks living 100's of miles away from the end-user with the issue, but can't always have it easy now can we?

It'd mostly be either amazon.uk for uk, alternate for the lowlands, amazon.de for central eu, proshop.de for scandinavia, for the retailers we could check for you

#

Romania?

summer marsh Mar 2, 2021, 7:20 PM

#

yes

hollow thorn Mar 2, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

de is for central?

#

i think yes

Amazon.de ships to the UAE, if they don't ship to Romania, they're being dumb...

hollow thorn Mar 2, 2021, 7:22 PM

amazon.de does ship to Romania the shipping rates will just be a bit higher unless ofcourse you have amazon prime

B doesn't allow CPU overclock, Z does

summer marsh Mar 2, 2021, 10:09 PM

aa ok

#

but it allows gpu

#

and have 1 m2 slot i see its good

elfin warren Mar 2, 2021, 10:12 PM

#

2 M.2 slots

#

Only one has a cover tho

summer marsh Mar 2, 2021, 10:12 PM

#

why only one has cover

elfin warren Mar 2, 2021, 10:12 PM

#

because that's how most motherboards are

#

The heatsink isn't really needed unless Gen 4 drive

summer marsh Mar 2, 2021, 10:13 PM

#

i thought there was a specific reason

elfin warren Mar 2, 2021, 10:13 PM

#

it's a heatsink but only needed for Gen 4 drives

#

Most Gen 3 drives are fine without one

summer marsh Mar 2, 2021, 10:13 PM

rocky beacon Mar 4, 2021, 1:23 AM

#

rocky beacon Mar 4, 2021, 1:23 AM

#

The branding all over it is pretty ugly imo

#

Not sure why they did the SATA ports like this?

#

It has a Type C header which is amazing

#

rocky beacon Not sure why they did the SATA ports like this?

that is a bit strange, yea

#

normally i would expect the 24 pin around there

rocky beacon Mar 4, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

Wow it has a specific place for M.2 wifi

#

This board is better than I thought tbh

boreal umbra Mar 4, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

Is the 5600x at msrp best cpu for 1500$ budget?

rocky beacon Mar 4, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

I love this also, it helps for better cable management depending on the case you are building in

magic cedar Mar 4, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

boreal umbra Is the 5600x at msrp best cpu for 1500$ budget?

maybe, but i would personally go for more cores

rocky beacon Mar 4, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

10700k is pretty good if you can get it for $300

#

Better stock than the 5600X but I have seen the 5600X in stock alot recently

magic cedar Mar 4, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

10850k is very good if you can get it for $350

#

if your near a microcenter or smt

boreal umbra Mar 4, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

rocky beacon Better stock than the 5600X but I have seen the 5600X in stock alot recently

More of the 5800 tbh

#

My micro center is like empty lmao

#

Then again I live in an area where tech is pretty big

nova hornet Mar 4, 2021, 2:20 AM

#

I think the sata ports are like that so a big gpu doesn't block them

zealous socket Mar 4, 2021, 3:17 AM

#

I've been seeing the 5800x in stock VERY frequently (sometimes for days at a time), and the 5600x still pops in and then back out of stock with 5 min or so, but that happens almost daily and its gettable

#

5900x is not

#

(Online at least)

would different firmware versions on my memory cause issues like my computer having random shut offs?

#

I just built my pc installed drivers and everything when I try launching a game on steam it says launching and than nothing happens how do I fix this

pale mist Mar 4, 2021, 5:24 AM

#

Hmm, thats tough

#

I think software problem, this happens on every game and only steam games right @rancid nest

#

If not play around

#

If still doesn’t work roll back drivers and there is a very slight chance this is a power thing

#

Or just a failure

rancid nest Mar 4, 2021, 6:02 AM

#

@pale mist yes only steam games

#

I don’t know what to do

#

Wym roll back drivers

#

Whats the best CPU I can get for an LGA 2011 dual socket motherboard? Im using this for minecraft hosting and rendering, planning to throw an nvidia tesla k80 in there

glossy dust Mar 4, 2021, 6:32 AM

#

uh

#

is this all the board's fan headers?

#

#

MSI MAG B560m Bazooka

#

should be right?

main pulsar Mar 4, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

#

thats what ya working with on that board

#

at max, your average fan draws like .5A

#

so you can realistically get splitters and run like 12 fans off those 4 headers

glossy dust Mar 4, 2021, 6:40 AM

#

so.....

#

up to 3 case fans on-board?

main pulsar Mar 4, 2021, 6:42 AM

#

however you wanna do it

#

you got 4 headers

#

how many fans you got

#

if its more than 4, you need to buy a splitter

glossy dust Mar 4, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

oh

#

4 including the cpu fan?

main pulsar Mar 4, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

that total includes CPU fans or an AIO cpu block

glossy dust Mar 4, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

oh

#

so up to 3 case fans only huh

main pulsar Mar 4, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

yes

glossy dust Mar 4, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

should be fine ig

main pulsar Mar 4, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

how many case fans you got

glossy dust Mar 4, 2021, 6:44 AM

#

it's non rgb so ig it won't hurt

#

oh still canvassing

main pulsar Mar 4, 2021, 6:44 AM

#

well, its enough for 2 intake one rear exhaust

glossy dust Mar 4, 2021, 6:44 AM

#

but i placed 4 arctic p12

#

and 1 se224xt

#

thanks tho

#

no need to buy fan hub

main pulsar Mar 4, 2021, 6:44 AM

#

4 pin splitters are super cheap

glossy dust Mar 4, 2021, 6:45 AM

#

welp ig so

#

if i buy it with the mobo and cpu on the shop ig it'll take less

main pulsar Mar 4, 2021, 6:45 AM

#

or just buy one less case fan

#

save money

glossy dust Mar 4, 2021, 6:46 AM

#

yep

#

3 arctic p12s

#

should be fine ig
