Well there are stress tests for stability (furmark, aida64, prime95, etc), and if you want to test the cpu specifically you could hit it with cinebench or something. Or just see how it performs in whatever applications you're going to use it for

for testing all parts especially ram & ssd

hello all, new to chat, question about buying RAM. Trying to get 4 sticks of 8 gb RAM for my new Ryzen build. would two sets of 2x8GB sticks work just fine, or do i need to look for a specifically 4x8gb stick kit?

rocky beacon Mar 9, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

Two 2x8GB sets will be fine, just make sure they are exactly the same for best compatibility and performance.

wary storm Mar 9, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

thanks man. Also wondering about Dual rank. Do i need to worry about dual rank sticks if i have all four slots filled?

rocky beacon Mar 9, 2021, 8:13 PM

Dual rank would be better but you don't need to worry about getting dual rank if its too expensive or not in stock.

@wary storm by the way, make sure your x470 board has bios updated to support 5600x :)

#

And also, 4x8 or 2x16 are both good if you just want 32gb of ram

5600x

#

if it doesn't fit in your budget then get a 10400f, much cheaper then the 3600 and performs just as well when paired with a b560 motherboard and 3200cl16 ram

b560 is an intel chipset, socket lga1200 (supports 10th gen and 11th, with 11th gen you get gen4 pcie) and you can't oc the chip but you can oc the ram, it's like the a-series chipset amd has, b550 is 3000 compatible and 5000 series with a bios update, you're able to oc the chip and the ram

10980XE

#

X299

#

wai what

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:18 AM

#

one of my buds has an older x299 system, going to see if his cpu will post in my board

#

i think its an i9 7900x

#

or vice versa

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:19 AM

#

Yeah, try that

#

If it doesn't work, then dead MB

#

Or bad socket

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:19 AM

#

i tried 2 x299 darks

#

one was DOA

#

other one had the same code

mild jackal Mar 10, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

Weird to see so many problems

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

i know right?

mild jackal Mar 10, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

The dark won't work out of the box with a 10xxxxe chip, need to flash first I think

#

Depends when you bought them

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

had them send me a new chip

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

They've done multiple flashbacks now

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

code Df before the new chip

#

00 or nothing at all after on that board

#

sent it back and bought this asus board instead

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:21 AM

#

what power supply?

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:21 AM

#

850gq

#

evga

mild jackal Mar 10, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

ya, what are the common factors here that could be bricking stuff?

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

Ram and PSU

#

Or Cpu cooler

#

Possibly borking the mount

mild jackal Mar 10, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

850 probably fine, but you can make the 18 core chip draw over that on ambient water, lol

#

well, maybe just around 800

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

What about the CPU cooler?

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

cooler is an nh-d15s

mild jackal Mar 10, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

d15 should be good for about 500w on the cpu, will hit 100c around there and throttle

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

I'm wondering mount wise though

#

changing the mount tension

#

If you'll get different results

mild jackal Mar 10, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

Idk, I don't think there's much more troubleshooting to be done, either bad chip or board

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

you can post these cpus without heatsinks

#

dont think its that

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

Multiples though

mild jackal Mar 10, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

hard to say unless you have other parts to test each component

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

weird

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:24 AM

#

i think its a bad cpu

#

well thanks for the help anyways, yall are great.

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:24 AM

#

are the trident z neos good

mild jackal Mar 10, 2021, 4:24 AM

#

Ping me if/when you find the answer, I'm curious

hallow swan Mar 10, 2021, 4:24 AM

#

okay

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:25 AM

#

or should i go with the corsair vengance

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:25 AM

#

what speed?

#

Cuz, ballistix is pretty OP at it's price point

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:25 AM

#

3600

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:25 AM

#

16 GB?

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:25 AM

#

they are on sale for the 4x 8gb

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

Depends on the timings

#

There's some crappy Neo out there

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

so 32GB total

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

LIke, 3600 C19

#

avoid that

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

C18, that's why it's on sale lol

#

With what CPU?

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:27 AM

#

either a 5800x or 5900x

#

AMD

#

havent decided yet

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:27 AM

#

For 5900x, I'd be shooting for 4000 mhz ram

#

Get that sweet 2000 FCLK

#

For both, actually

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:28 AM

#

2000 FCLK>

#

?

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:28 AM

#

Yeah, the speed the CPU chiplets communicate at

#

the faster the ram, the faster they communicate

#

This stuff is the same price and better, RGB too but out of stock :/ https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820164206

this is what i had

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:38 AM

#

NOt 3200

#

3600 for sure

#

Don't hamstring that nice new 5000 series CPU

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:38 AM

#

i can get the ballistix on amazon for 100 per 2

#

though they wont ship till the 18th

#

the question is now

#

do i settle for the 5800x

#

or get the 5900x

#

https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/md/34719714

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

Unless you're doing phot or video editing or rendering, 5800x be more than enough

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:45 AM

#

ill be doing some cad modeling with fusion 360

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:46 AM

#

5900x then

#

fo sho

is the ROG crosshair formula worth it?

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

They've been restocking nicely lately

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

nice

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

IMO, no reason to spend more than $200 on a board unless for looks or heavy overclocking

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

gonna be watercooling

#

so kinda why i considered it

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

Still don't need a fancy board for that

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

suggestions?

#

maybe the asus tuf board then?

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

Gotta get one with Flashback for 5000 series

#

That's really the only requirement

#

Kinda tough on X570

#

This one has it

#

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-GAMING-X570-PRO-WI-FI/

ASUS USA

TUF Gaming series distills essential elements of the latest Intel® platform and combines them with game-ready features and proven durability. Engineered with military-grade components, an upgraded power solution and a comprehensive set of cooling options, this motherboard delivers rock-solid performance with unwavering gaming stability.

#

WiFi too

#

I have it, board is nice while not breaking the bank

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

yea, thats the one

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

Just be sure it's the TUF PRO and not TUF Gaming lol

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

does it have the pwm controls for the watercooling pump

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

Yes

#

It has an AIO header

#

Can do it in the BIOS or in the AI Suite Software

#

AIO pump header is for any water pump

#

Not just AIO's but they label it that

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

whats the difference between the pro and the plus

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

Flashback vs no flashback

rocky forge Mar 10, 2021, 4:59 AM

#

my other choice is the hero

#

or the E gaming

#

https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-x570-e-gaming/p/N82E16813119111

#

I think it would match the look of my build better

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 5:08 AM

That'll work, yes

naive pendant literally just camp some etailer or refresh pcpp

Wdym by that

grizzled bloom Mar 10, 2021, 9:18 AM

#

Wait on the website, hitting refresh frequently, around times you expect stock to appear.

#

Honestly processors are getting easier to find. I expect more at best buys (online and in store) by Tuesday afternoon for example, they've been relatively consistent.
Another option is a stock drop discord channel. We're not allowed to link other channels though, so you'll have to figure that one out. (Google)

naive pendant Mar 10, 2021, 10:37 AM

#

Best buy is gonna be thursday this week

gusty whale Mar 10, 2021, 1:32 PM

Thank god AMD accepted my RMA request now I just gotta ship it back

#

I’m gonna guess I print the label and tape it to a box and put the cpu in it

#

guys what amd 5000 series proccesor for gaming should i get

rocky beacon Mar 10, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

Intel is better for the pricing currently and because they are actually in stock

vale hawk Mar 10, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

but like for amd because i have my b550 mobo already

full flame Mar 10, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

5600x and 5800x are commonly in stock tbf

rocky beacon Mar 10, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

5600X then

#

5800X is not worth it for the price at all tbh

vale hawk Mar 10, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

ok thank you very much i appreciate the help

rocky beacon Mar 10, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

Personally i would go with a 10700K on sale over a 5600X though

full flame Mar 10, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

Yeah, 5800x is worse value, but because of that it also stays in stock longer than the 5600x

vale hawk Mar 10, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

ok

#

5600x is in stock in my local microcenter

rocky beacon Mar 10, 2021, 2:30 PM

vale hawk Mar 10, 2021, 2:31 PM

ik this isnt the gpu section but what shoul i pair it with thye 3060 ti or 3070?

#

should*

rocky beacon Mar 10, 2021, 2:31 PM

Either is fine

vale hawk Mar 10, 2021, 2:31 PM

ok

naive pendant Mar 10, 2021, 2:31 PM

What resolution

vale hawk Mar 10, 2021, 2:31 PM

1080p some 1440p but mostly 1080p

naive pendant Mar 10, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

3070

rocky beacon Mar 10, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

3060 Ti is fine then

naive pendant Mar 10, 2021, 2:32 PM

Whichever restocks first

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 2:34 PM

I doubt that will restock

#

Best Buy is the only retailer for FE cards now

vale hawk Mar 10, 2021, 2:35 PM

ok

so should i camp it?

vast meadow Mar 10, 2021, 2:43 PM

vale hawk so should i camp it?

Your best bet to get a card is watching a stock checker bot

how do you do that? sorry dont know a whole lot about this stuff

is 250 for a 9900k a good deal?

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

I think so I’m pretty sure the regular price is $400....

slate phoenix Mar 10, 2021, 6:47 PM

Yea cause micro center in housten has them for in store pickup for 250

#

i got one

#

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:47 PM

Nice

#

I’m getting a 10850k at the end of the school year if I do good in school

slate phoenix Mar 10, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

cool

#

but get ryzen if you have a choice

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

I would’ve but I want it for creative use and that was better than the 5600x for my use case

slate phoenix Mar 10, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

ok

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

Getting it for $320

slate phoenix Mar 10, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

thats great

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

Or $350 if the price goes back up

#

Yep

#

It was all my choice because like my uncle kept saying he’ll get me something I want if I do good in school this semester and he kept pushing it when I’d say no then I finally gave in and said a CPU since I was already trying to save for an upgrade lol

slate phoenix Mar 10, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

thats awesome

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:51 PM

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:52 PM

Mines going to be a i9-10850k and RTX 2080 super

#

And yeah only reason I looked into AMD originally was for an upgrade path but then I found out about AM5...

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 6:53 PM

Well

#

It's end of the road for Intel also

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:54 PM

Yeah

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

Next CPU is LGA1700

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

So either way would need a new motherboard

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

Yep

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

Also I’m trying to decide now should I try to get a cheaper motherboard or should I stick with my current one as I’m currently getting one that’s $200 but if I get one that’s cheaper it’ll take less time to save for

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 7:08 PM

#

Yeah

vast meadow Mar 10, 2021, 7:08 PM

#

I'd recommend seeing if you can get a 9900k instead so you don't gotta upgrade mobo

elfin warren Mar 10, 2021, 7:09 PM

#

THere's really no reason to spend more than $200 on a board unless you're doing some big overclocking

vast meadow Mar 10, 2021, 7:09 PM

#

But ¯_(ツ)_/¯

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 7:09 PM

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

Alright cool

#

Also what’s the rainbow LED connector

vast meadow Mar 10, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

That sounds like it's their rgb connector

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

There’s another pin connector though that says RGB

#

Oh it is for aRGB

tfw newegg tries to recommend you its "best reviewed memory" and it's all ddr3

eager shore Mar 10, 2021, 7:28 PM

#

i mean

#

if a lot of people bought it and they like it then yeah best reviewed

#

not a lot of good expensive things are in best reviewed cuz not everyone buys them

nova hornet Mar 10, 2021, 7:29 PM

#

simple recommendation patterns: not always the best, lol

gentle acorn Mar 10, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

Also can you daisy chain RGB so it only uses one slot?

#

Nvm what I was asking about only uses one connector apparently

#

so, i'm trying to find the rgb jumper for ASUS ROG Strix GL10DH does anyone know where this jumper set is?

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 1:39 AM

#

RGB jumper? What does the RGB jumper do that you're looking for?

somber star Mar 11, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

It's for a new fan with aurasync

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

Ah

#

Ok, RGB header, I was wondering

somber star Mar 11, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

yeah, I can't locate it

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 1:41 AM

#

Well, the manual is useless

#

-_-

somber star Mar 11, 2021, 1:41 AM

#

I know it has aruasync capability because I already have things set up for it, but before trying to take everything apart I wasn't sure if it was a known thing

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

Well, from what I just found on LTT, it doesn't have an RGB header

#

But I'm still looking

#

The RGB chassis lighting might connect by USB and not an RGB header

somber star Mar 11, 2021, 1:43 AM

#

oh... yeah, actually that makes a lot of sense based on what i was looking at

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 1:43 AM

#

I'm checking one more thing

#

stand by

#

Are your fans 4 pin RGB or 3 pin aRGB?

worthy dome Mar 11, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

elfin warren The RGB chassis lighting might connect by USB and not an RGB header

rgb gamer epic fps boost

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

I found pics of the GL12

#

And the RGb header is down at the bottom of the motherboard on the right

#

But not sure of the GL10 will have it

somber star Mar 11, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

hmm

#

ok I'll look it looked like that space had power and status lighting

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

Check down at the bottom of the motherboard

#

And also above the 24 pin ATX connector by the RAM

#

Those are the two common spots for RGB headers

somber star Mar 11, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

Oh, I was going to send a photo but can't post a photo

#

I found a few places without markers for what they were but they were four pin

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

it looks like this one uses usb for it's color sync

eager shore Mar 11, 2021, 2:38 AM

#

it uses either the argb header or a usb header

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 2:47 AM

#

So, what I found is the Asus PC has no RGB headers, the case is done through USB. Recommended a controller and splitter cable for future use. https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Controller-Coolers-Radiators/dp/B0787FVBV8

What’s the point of a BIOS flashback for Intel CPUs?

grizzled bloom Mar 11, 2021, 5:24 AM

#

11 series isn't out yet so they'll need to update the 500 series boards to be compatible

gentle acorn Mar 11, 2021, 5:25 AM

#

I saw it on 400 series though

grizzled bloom Mar 11, 2021, 5:27 AM

#

Same deal, they'll need to be updated on the B460/X490 to support new CPUs so why force people to buy old ones just to flash to a new BIOS?

gentle acorn Mar 11, 2021, 5:28 AM

Alright

sly echo Mar 11, 2021, 5:57 AM

hello everyone, I had a couple of questions I wanted to ask. I'm about to upgrade my pc for the second time since I built it. I currently have an i5-7500 that I want to upgrade, almost certainly to a ryzen 9 3900x. First question is about the motherboard (hardware is not my forte), would a B550 hinder performance in any way, or should I go for an x570? Also, since this will make 3 major components of my PC changing (first one was the graphics card), should I expect windows to lock me out until I purchase a new license? I apologize for the wall of text, but this thing is my baby, I want to do things right.

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 5:57 AM

#

B550 will be fine

#

Also, tie Windows 10 to an email account and you don't have to worry about reactivation with a hardware change. Just sign in with the same credentials and it will activate

#

Link it to an MS account: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-link-your-windows-10-product-key-microsoft-account

Noob quick question about AMD motherboards. Do they also need to be updated regularly for next gen cpus?

#

no

#

just this generation

wait for AM5 then

oblique crown Mar 11, 2021, 8:06 PM

#

Googling release date.

void jolt Mar 11, 2021, 8:06 PM

cause this was the last generation for AM4

Thank you

weak notch Mar 11, 2021, 8:07 PM

Last generation for LGA 1200

void jolt Mar 11, 2021, 8:07 PM

but then there is intel who changes the socket every other day

#

future proofing is a meme

void jolt Mar 11, 2021, 8:07 PM

#

^

weak notch Mar 11, 2021, 8:07 PM

#

intel soft locks or changes sockets about every 2 generations

void jolt Mar 11, 2021, 8:07 PM

#

AMD does it better

#

Am4 lasted half a decade

oblique crown Mar 11, 2021, 8:07 PM

#

Short medium term of course. My last motherboard came with the max i7 cpu on it, and for some reasons I didn't check that so I was stuck with it for years.

#

5 years is good.

#

I am not looking for 20 years :))

void jolt Mar 11, 2021, 8:08 PM

#

but AM4 is dying rn

#

thats the thing

#

cant remember how long AM3 or AM3+ lasted but I think it was a while too

oblique crown Mar 11, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

Googling now to see different generation longevity

#

"With AMD you can usually use 3-4 generations of CPUs on the same motherboard with bios updates." That's neat.

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 8:11 PM

#

Generally

#

Not true for right now though. 5000 series is the end of the line, sadly

void jolt Mar 11, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

I just said that 3 times

oblique crown Mar 11, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

Well I suppose they are doing it better than intel anyways

void jolt Mar 11, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

true

oblique crown Mar 11, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

I am Intel now.

elfin warren Mar 11, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

Generally speaking

#

Hard to say what the next generation will bring with DDR5, etc

oblique crown Mar 11, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

True

#

4 generations of CPU is 8 years. That would be pretty impressive. Given the fact that motherboards don't really contribute radically to a PC like CPU, GPU and RAM do, it's neat. Even 3 x 2 6 is neat.

void jolt Mar 11, 2021, 8:22 PM

#

not always 8 years

#

sometimes a new CPU comes out a mere year or less after the last gen

oblique crown Mar 11, 2021, 8:23 PM

#

True, but close generations don't necessarily require an upgrade.

#

I mean, I won't update each and every year for sure.

vast meadow Mar 11, 2021, 8:26 PM

most would only upgrade cpu every 3-5 years

#

coughs in me upgrading every chance I get

oblique crown Mar 11, 2021, 8:29 PM

#

I have years when I am PC addicted besides work, and I have years when I am totally the opposite.

#

So I don't necessary require upgrades/updates.

Every CPU is so ever slightly different, one 5900x might boost to 5.4ghz, another might only do like 4.6ghz.. I was also referring to the silicon lottery site, they usually have a bunch of binning statistics, but not for Zen 3 yet it seems.

Why is my ASRock B550 Taichi BIOS Flashback taking so long lol

#

its been almost an hour

#

and that thing still just blinking away

grizzled bloom Mar 12, 2021, 7:03 PM

#

Best to just let it be, if you interrupt it bad things could happen

warped scroll Mar 12, 2021, 7:07 PM

#

Anyone here have some pointers for doing a bios update without cpu?

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

It's really easy

urban hedge Mar 12, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

not having nay luck

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

24 pin and 8 pin power BIOS file on a flash drive, renamed if needed, insert USB into flash port, push button and wait

#

Some files you need to rename a certain way

urban hedge Mar 12, 2021, 7:56 PM

#

Just got in my Asus B550-i motherboard and Ryzen 5600x - plugged in 24 and 8 - usb stick in all good there

#

push the botton, 3-5 secs - no power

#

nothing happening , no lights no fan spinning nothing

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

Fans won't spin

#

Just the BIOS flashing light

urban hedge Mar 12, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

no lights - nothing indicating that its working.

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

CPU installed?

urban hedge Mar 12, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

#

Page 2015 in the manual

urban hedge Mar 12, 2021, 7:58 PM

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 8:16 PM

#

Noice!

urban hedge Mar 12, 2021, 8:19 PM

#

ok, looks like everything stopped, no movement for about 20 sec on either light or sub light

#

so at this point is it ok to disconnect

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 8:19 PM

#

if the light goes out, yes

urban hedge Mar 12, 2021, 8:19 PM

#

SAM supports 3000s CPUs now on my board at least. 🥳

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 8:51 PM

#

SAM or BAR?

hollow thorn Mar 12, 2021, 8:52 PM

#

sam used to be b550 only iirc, and they moved to b450?

#

maybe

silk vapor Mar 12, 2021, 8:52 PM

#

#

my motherboard is ROG Strix X570-E Gaming.

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

nVidia or AMD GPU?

silk vapor Mar 12, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

Now i'll admit. I have a NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super which to my understand, they are not support. At least not yet

#

so it is useless

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

Oh, they won't be

silk vapor Mar 12, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

but at least it is nice to have the option now

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

Plus the nVidia driver for RTX3000 series doesn't support the Ryzen 3000 CPU's yet

silk vapor Mar 12, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

I do want the RX 6xxx XT GPU soon

#

just waiting for that cryptocurrency crash

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

nice shouln't be an issue then

silk vapor Mar 12, 2021, 8:55 PM

#

and hopefully 5900x at least very very soon

grizzled bloom Mar 12, 2021, 9:04 PM

hollow thorn sam used to be b550 only iirc, and they moved to b450?

My MSI X470 Gaming Plus has had the Resizable Bar option in BIOS for a while now

#

Right next to the "Above 4GB vram" optimizing option

silk vapor Mar 12, 2021, 9:09 PM

#

elfin warren SAM or BAR?

also, what is this BAR?

elfin warren Mar 12, 2021, 9:09 PM

#

BAR is the real term for SAM

#

AMD just calls it SAM to make it sound special

#

It's a PCI-E specification

#

It's actually Resizable BAR.

silk vapor Mar 12, 2021, 9:10 PM

#

So SAM gives more of a marketing ploy.
