That makes a lot more sense

hollow thorn
#

clear cmos time then

tawny mica
#

i did

vast meadow
#

Does the cpu you have have integrated graphics or do you have a dedicated gpu?

hollow thorn
#

they should have uhd610

tawny mica
#

I think it's integrated graphics

#

I even took out the battery for 24 hours and it still doesn't turn on

hollow thorn
#

did you unplug the computer?

tawny mica
#

Yes

hollow thorn
#

sad

tawny mica
#

I tried mostly everything from google

#

And since I waited to build my computer my motherboard order is 75 days old which I think is past the return policy for newegg

hollow thorn
#

no debug LEDs

tawny mica
#

I don't see any

#

So what can I do

hollow thorn
#

It's just a matter of things not being connected for some reason or something is dead at this point

vast meadow
#

Have you tried the ram in a different slot?

#

Or a friends ram stick?

hollow thorn
#

The single stick should be in a2 but worth a try if a memory channel is dead for some reason

#

could be worth re-seating the CPU, maybe not good contact

tawny mica
#

Hmm

#

Okay I will try those

#

It didn't work

#

Thanks for your help though

#

I guess I got screwed

hollow thorn
#

did you reseat the cpu?

tawny mica
#

Yeah

#

It's ok

#

It was only $175

#

I will buy another one

hollow thorn
#

you could try to RMA it with asus

tawny mica
#

do they accept returns like my situation?

hollow thorn
#

RMAs aren't returns, it's like you're exchanging a broken one for a new one

#

Because it seems to be Dead on Arrival, not your fault

tawny mica
#

ohh okay

#

i will try them, thank you

tawny mica
#

they will take it and try to repair it

#

so it was a good idea after all

#

thank you

#

What are some ways to tell if a motherboard is good or bad?

#

I mainly just look at the reviews for a motherboard, but the ones I pick are seen as awful by other people

limber dragon
#

just post it here, reviewers are mainly just "does it boot? Yes? Its a good mobo"

rugged crow
#

is there any cpu that won't bottle neck minecraft(vanilla) and 3090(like bring 3090 to 99% usage)...

grizzled bloom
#

No. It's extremely cpu reliant and my overclocked 5800X keeps my 3090 around 35-40%.

burnt spear
#

^^

rugged crow
burnt spear
#

Client doesn't matter

grizzled bloom
#

Java edition, vanilla. FPS will vary as the world chunks load but I'll get a new world and let you know.

burnt spear
#

It's the same for all minecraft, short of you ray tracing

rugged crow
burnt spear
#

Laby vs default vs badlion will have the same usages

rugged crow
burnt spear
#

It's still the same game

#

And why does it matter anyways? I get like 400fps with a 3600 and 3060 ti

#

I'd care more about perf in other games

grizzled bloom
#

110-120 fps on 1440p max settings

burnt spear
#

There's no cpu you'll reach 0 bottleneck with a 3090 on minecraft

rugged crow
rugged crow
burnt spear
#

Ok? They aren't out as far as I know

#

Future isn't now

rugged crow
#

yes

grizzled bloom
#

It'll be a couple generations before a game like minecraft that is heavily cpu bound will use a full 3090

rugged crow
#

okok

grizzled bloom
#

Even the upcoming zen 3 refresh won't make that much difference, maybe 10% if we're lucky

rugged crow
rugged crow
#

ok im dun

grizzled bloom
#

There's 100 points difference between my CPU and the absolute top, 3500 to 3600

#

Apple M1 doesn't count

mild jackal
#

Time to overclock Kingpin_Grin

grizzled bloom
#

I'm sure if I ran it myself I'd score higher, I'm just going by published results

#

What's the best mobo to pair with an Intel i7 9700k🤨

cursive epoch
#

why are you getting 9700k now?

#

unless you got it for free or cheap

dim cloak
#

Would say a Z390 chipset if you plan to overclock

mild jackal
#

Or coffee mod a z170/z270 Theo_Yells

vestal wing
#

I think it's pretty cheap

cursive epoch
#

nice

#

well that's not bad

best motherboard for threadripper pro?

warped musk
cursive epoch

yeah

rocky beacon
#

That does not support Threadripper Pro does it?

cursive epoch
#

wait tr pro

#

yeah

rocky beacon
#

That's for older Threadripper CPUs ain't it?

#

Also what do you need Threadripper Pro for?

cursive epoch
#

tr pro uses something else

#

swrx8 apparently

#

super expensive mobos

#

costs like 1k

vast meadow
#

@severe skiff why threadripper pro btw?

rocky beacon
#

WRX80 SAGE would be the best board

cursive epoch
#

inb4 "cuz 3090"

rocky beacon
#

Lmao

vast meadow
#

Isn't new threadripper coming in like a few weeks tho?

rocky beacon
#

Is it?

cursive epoch

yeah

#

it's coming

rocky beacon

Oh dang it is apparently

#

vast meadow
#

Sad no tr pro on pcpp :l

cursive epoch
#

yeah it's

#

rare stuff

#

cause basically no one apart from companies will be buying em

vast meadow
#

Yeah, sadge

cursive epoch
#

the price makes my heart skip a beat tho

#

ik it's 64c/128t and all

#

but damn is it expensive

#

even mobo is also spensiv

vast meadow
cursive epoch
#

huh, it has no chipset?

vast meadow
cursive epoch
#

wow

vast meadow
#

Just all to the cpu

cursive epoch
#

so it's in the cpu

#

that's cool lmao

#

2tb ram support steveconfused

#

newegg sells this mobo

vast meadow
#

The little screw driver they give you is cute too

#

Lol

cursive epoch
#

999 bucks

#

well yeah they better give us a screwdriver if the mobo is 999

#

it has wifi

#

why am i surprised

vast meadow
cursive epoch
#

yeah

#

quadro rtx 4000

#

i was lucky enough to get a 3090 for retail

dense frost

are you sure your dell chassis will accept standard motherbaords?

severe skiff

#

Hey so im@having trouble with booting speed and my games will not load such as rainbow six siege granted I do have a hard drive but it has never been this bad would anyone maybe knwo my problem I’ve tired cleaning updating everything and still no luck

#

Also I use my pc rarely this is the first tome in like 7 months I’ve played on it

burnt spear
#

Also this isn't the storage chat

#

Type "command" into the windows search bar, right click command prompt, and click run as administrator

#

From there a black box should pop up on your screen

nimble olive
#

Ok thank you

burnt spear
#

In that type in chkdsk

#

Then press enter

#

Hey I have an intel CPU, the top side of the substraight has a minor chip in the corner of it, will it still work?

cursive epoch
#

I'll look for you

#

Anyone have experience with the Aorus x570 Master MOBO constantly crackling/popping with USB Audio devices? Drivers don't seem to help at all so just wanted to see if anyone had a success story 😆

vast meadow
grizzled bloom
#

USB issues are platform level for Ryzen, and happen more on X570. Pato is right, bios update usually helps.

turbid forge
#

I'll take a look to see where my BIOS is currently and will let you know results. (Sadly it does seem every usb port is the same) let's pray to the BIOS gods

cyan raft
#

Ive talked to other guys on audio and recording related servers and all of them that had an aorus master x570 had problems with USBs dropping in and out

#

@turbid forge

#

I dont have the board so i cant test it but i didnt have those problems on any other x570s ive used in the past

which cpu does that support BRUH

#

threadripper?

#

this stuff is mad bruh

grizzled bloom
#

Yes threadripper

loud escarp
#

Pc powers on np with a 650w psu, but will not with a 850w or 1000w psu. Bad resistor on the mobo?

reef iris
#

I bought a kit of 32gb 3600 Mhz Patriot Viper Steel RGB. Using a Ryzen 5 2600 and the pc won't boot if I have the xmp profile on. I can't clock the memory to anything over 2666Mhz

#

Anyone know a fix?

grizzled bloom
#

Zen+ IMC can't handle faster than 3200 usually

#

You can do a full manual tuning but that'll take a lot of time and effort

reef iris
#

I can't even get it to run 3000

reef iris
grizzled bloom
#

Yes

reef iris
#

Wow

grizzled bloom
#

You can't just turn up the speed and cross your fingers

reef iris
#

That does make sense

#

Guess I'll just wait until I upgrade my cpu

grizzled bloom
#

You can try setting it to 1.35v, 3200 speed, with these primary timings and see if it boots

reef iris

Thanks

steady wigeon
#

How can I tell if my mobo is compatible with PCIe 4.0?

cyan raft
#

What mobo is it?

steady wigeon
#

Not really sure. It's a prebuilt from 2018

grizzled bloom
#

What processor did it come with? That can be a clue

steady wigeon
#

Intel i5-8400 2.80 GHz

grizzled bloom
#

Nope

steady wigeon
#

welp, looks like my SSD will be capped. that's a shame

cursive epoch
#

Any consumer SSDs won't saturate pcie 3.0 right now

#

Or in the future as the m.2 form factor is the limiting factor for how much heat they can put out

#

They're tiny, so they're dense

#

They could only get so fast before they have to rely on say, liquid cooling

#

Which some SSDs are already doing that

grizzled bloom
cursive epoch
#

ye

#

That's a rare case

#

But sequential doesn't really matter in real life usage tbh

#

Randoms sure will probably never hit that limit

grizzled bloom
#

Oh yeah the controller is usually the limit there, occasionally the nand itself

cursive epoch

Bon jour and a question, thanks for the help.

#

Does 5900x have hyperthreading, I need that for a game 😛

#

I mean I need to know if it has or it doesn't, so I know what settings to use.

How good are these things? Can they be trusted for what it is? I've always hated the way the cable comes straight out from the motherboard because it's just awkward to try and cable manage it

That would be single channel x3

steel marsh
#

Wut so no dual channel

#

damn

vast meadow
#

pretty sure its a ddr board

finite elm
#

@vast meadow is this board overkill for an 11600k?

#

I got the board in a bundle. Trying to figure out if I'll use it or sell it.

finite elm
#

Thought I sent the link

#

Lol

limber dragon
#

its fine for a 11600k

vast meadow
#

No harm using it like, but also it would be perfectly fine on a 160$ board

finite elm
#

Why would anyone need 4 gen 4 m.2 slots?

vast meadow
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

finite elm
#

Would using it for a 10850k disable those like on some boards or would it drop down to gen 3?

grizzled bloom
plain copper
#

so I bought the
ABS Master Gaming PC - Intel i5 11400F - GeForce RTX 2060 - 16GB DDR4 3000MHz - 512GB Intel M.2 NVMe SSD build and I was wondering what HDD's are compatible with the cables provided in the build and what else I might need to get in installed IE cables I would need to purchase and whatnot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#

also what size HDD because I purchased a 1tb seagate Barracuda HDD and it did not fit in the tray nor where the cables compatible.

grizzled bloom
#

Any sata drive should fit, and there's also M.2 slots. It's just a matter of finding where they go.
The tray that the HDD didn't fit on, was it the one on the back of the motherboard or under the bottom shroud?

limber dragon

#

What kind of test can I do to see if my socket is getting power from the cpu power connections on the mobo itself?

#

For context I've been trying to get my computer back up after having an issue with it powering on. I've gotten it to turn on and light up but the debug lights are showing that there's no cpu installed, I've tested the cpu in another system and that system boots right up and the bios recognizes exactly what cpu it is

limber dragon
#

its most likely not just power, but detection of some sort on the motherboard

loud escarp
#

Turning on the system and letting it run for a second, my debug lights stay lit on the one for cpu, my debug screen stays at 00, and the cpu doesn't heat up at all (booted with no cooler on as I've been trying different cpus)

coral moon
#

Have you checked The ram?

loud escarp
#

@coral moon repeated ram, removed cmos battery, replaced cmos battery, tried different cpu, tried different psu. Almost everything I can and still shows as no cpu detected

coral moon
#

@loud escarp have you checked to make sure the socket on the motherboard is getting power?

loud escarp
#

That's what I'm asking how to check

#

I would assume not because the cpu is still cold to the touch after about 3-5mims of the system being on (tested with no cooler attached)

coral moon
#

Do you have access to a second power supply?

loud escarp
#

3 at my disposal and same thing for each. System powers on but cpu stays cold with debug saying there's no cpu detected

#

All 3 are different wattage and brands

coral moon
#

Do you have access to different CPUs?

loud escarp
#

The one in system and another. Both worked as both showed up in the second system's (one I've been using to test the cpus) bios and are recognized. Both are totally fine in the second system

coral moon
#

Have you tried different rem?

loud escarp
#

I've got a 4x 8gb kit from crucial and a 2x 8gb kit from gskill

#

Both show up and function in second system, both have their rgb light up and have no burnt pins

coral moon
#

What mother boy is it?

loud escarp
#

So it's gonna make a lot of sense

My system has a x570 aorus master Rev 1.2

#

Second system have a asrock b450m steel legend

coral moon
#

Can you get into the bios?

loud escarp
#

On the x570 I cannot

coral moon
#

@loud escarp It’s possible the sockets damaged making the motherboard dead

#

What happened when it stopped working?

#

I’ll let you know if I come up with anything new but I think your out of luck

loud escarp
#

@coral moon a few nights ago I powered down my system cause I was gonna be gone for a while, I come back about 6 hours later and go to turn it on when it just didn't want to turn on at all

Gc?

humble wasp
#

#

Bahrain

humble wasp
#

Like what

#

I don’t know how to do this

vast meadow
#

Like what site would you use to buy the board ?

humble wasp
#

Newegg or amazon or any site that deliver to my country

#

Cuz i planning to minimize my current pc

vast meadow
#

Then the board i just sent

humble wasp
#

Is there cheaper

#

How about h510 or b460 or h410

vast meadow
#

They all lock your memory to 2666mhz

#

Kinda bleh

humble wasp
#

Ok

#

So for future upgrades i need that one

vast meadow
#

No, just get that one anyway, it's the cheapest b560/h570/z490/z590

#

Only boards that don't lock the ram speed

humble wasp
#

But someone told me when u will upgrade u will need to change a-lot of things

vast meadow
#

?

#

Upgrade to what?

humble wasp
#

Like i put more money to buy those mobo

#

And then when i will upgrade like to batter cpu or gpu i will need to buy another one

vast meadow
#

10400 is still a pretty good cpu

#

The motherboard has nothing to do with your gpu

humble wasp
#

Cuz my rams already 2666

#

So I don’t know

vast meadow
#

Can you return it lol?

humble wasp
vast meadow
#

The ram

humble wasp
#

No i buy it now like 9 or more months

#

I have already pc

#

But it is atx

humble wasp
#

I will take all the things and put it to itx

#

Case

#

Do B&H ship to my country

#

Or only us

vast meadow
#

Idk

humble wasp
#

Ok

vast meadow
#

In stock in newegg same price

humble wasp
#

So h510 is the choice

vast meadow
#

It will do

humble wasp
#

What the ram speed do?

vernal cosmos
#

b560 best tbh

vernal cosmos
humble wasp
#

So i can know what i will lose

#

Yeah put what the different i will get from 2666 to 3200

vast meadow
vast meadow
humble wasp
#

Like 20fps

#

I lose

humble wasp
vast meadow
#

Noticeable amount of difference

humble wasp
#

Ok

#

I it where u

#

What u will do

#

U buy h510

#

Or b560 with 2*8 ram 3200

vernal cosmos
vast meadow
#

Yis

humble wasp
#

What would u go for

vast meadow
#

Depends if you are gonna buy new ram

humble wasp
#

If it’s u

#

Like for u

#

Which one you will do

#

Only mobo h510

#

Or 560 mobo and 3200 ram

vast meadow
#

Up to you

humble wasp
#

I know put for u

vast meadow
#

I would do b560 and new ram if you can but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

humble wasp
#

Ok

#

So it’s batter to do this

vast meadow
#

Wether it's worth it or not is different q

humble wasp
#

🤦🏽‍♂️

vast meadow
#

If you wanna upgrade to like a 10700 or 10900 it something in the future

#

Then b560

#

Now and keep the ram you have if you need

humble wasp
#

Until today I don’t need that upgrade coz i am only surfing internet and playing 1080p 165fps game

Not streaming or any this

vernal cosmos
earnest rover

Yup

#

I used ryzen master and set auto oc

#

It's only after doing that the ram speed in windows changed to 3200

vernal cosmos

ryzen master and auto OC is garbage

earnest rover
#

But in bios it's 2133

vernal cosmos

set to default and uninstall ryzen master

earnest rover

Ok

vernal cosmos

then go to bios and enable pbo

and xmp/docp

earnest rover

It's asus so docp

#

Ok I'll do that right now

#

With pbo stock cooler is ok?

vernal cosmos

yeah

#

itll throttle if it gets to hot

earnest rover
#

By throttle you mean hang back a bit till it's cooled

vernal cosmos
#

yeah drop speed

earnest rover

Changed. Now gotta wait a few minutes to boot back up

#

I have a really bad ssd

vernal cosmos

if you have a hard disk in the system theres a large chance you installed to that

earnest rover

More sata 6 I should say

vernal cosmos

do one thing

#

open task manager

earnest rover

Ok when it's done loading

vernal cosmos

send me a screenshot of this screen

Still waiting

#

Gonna install discord on it so the ss will be alot more informative

#

here

#

Wait you wanted the ss of the cpu tab

vernal cosmos
#

cpu seems o be boosting

#

docp seems to be off tho

earnest rover
#

yeah when i went into bios the pbo was set to auto i selected enable

vernal cosmos
#

docp?

earnest rover
#

yeah i just went higher to see if it will post

#

yes docp

vernal cosmos
#

docp on everything else ram related should be on auto

earnest rover
#

so docp and let it select the freqency automaticly?

vernal cosmos
#

yes

earnest rover
#

ight sir lemme change that brb

#

Well selected auto for frequency it went straight to 2133

vernal cosmos
#

reboot back to bios after savoing

#

changes will take place then

earnest rover
#

Ok

#

Didn't change to 3200 automatically

#

I had to set it myself

vernal cosmos

ok

can z590 handle two graphics cars like 2 3080?

grizzled bloom
#

Yeah, even B560 could. As long as it has enough PCIe slots.

cursive epoch
#

And as long as you have a psu that can handle the power

#

If not you'll either have an unstable system or kill everything in the process

sarcasm exists on this planet right?

vernal cosmos

because nvidia stopped supporting it

vernal cosmos
#

so wrong

#

they still support it

steel marsh

Question for Ryzen 3 3300X vs 5 3600X - when looking at benchmarks, there's about a 20% difference ... but for things like gaming (kids mostly play minecraft and a few other non-AAA titles) - how much difference is that score really in playability? Would go on an X570 board with 16gb ram (building 5 computers so, looking for cast savings without sacrificing too much)

hollow thorn
#

You can save by going b550 boards too

grizzled bloom
#

First off, X570 can be worse than B550. You don't need the extra PCIe lanes and other addons.
4 cores vs 6 can be quite a big difference.

hollow thorn
#

and well, 3300x hasn't been a good price for quite a while

#

if you want to go on the relatively cheap end, an option is going intel and going 10400+b560

grizzled bloom
#

Many modern games can use 4-6 cores, and it's good to have some threads for background stuff like discord

finite prawn
#

no, I'll stick with AMD - personal preference

#

I thought the 550 was older tech, thus ... worse overall ... my main computer is going to be a Ryzen 9 with a 1080, still 550 vs 570?

grizzled bloom
#

Playing games like minecraft, those are heavily reliant on CPU speed

#

B550 is actually newer than X570

finite prawn
#

😮

#

the sites, they lie!! lol

hollow thorn
#

lol

#

b550 came like half a year after x570

grizzled bloom
#

Yeah, these tech companies like to use a top-down approach. They start with releasing a few high end models and lower stuff comes later.

#

In this case with B550 being newer it can have an updated VRM layout, which can help with high end processors and overclocking.

#

And it doesn't have the USB dropout issues as much

finite prawn
#

nice, and cheaper 😄

#

my kids don't need anything fancy, just something better than the 10yr old computers they have

boreal umbra
finite prawn
#

but my main computer, will be an upgrade from the i7-5820K system I have - so Ryzen 9 seems like a good bet

grizzled bloom
#

Even the 3300X will beat a chip that old, probably a FX chip?

hollow thorn
finite prawn
#

FX yes ... which is why I was comparing 3 vs 5, how much of a gain, seems like it's significant

hollow thorn
#

For your main computer, probably go zen 3, 5800x/5900x kinda thing

finite prawn
#

2 kids on FX, 3 kids on Gen2 i7s lol

but r3 r5 r7 r9 branding doesn't matter as much as generation for gaming perf and all

You'll probably get a CPU or memory bottleneck in that case

ruby oak
grizzled bloom
#

Yeah the GPU is great, especially at that price, but there will be a lot of games that don't run the GPU at 100% like it's supposed to because the CPU can't keep up

Apex is heavily dependent on CPU

RDR2 likes to have a lot of threads, so it won't like 10100 either

Those specs were published years ago, as games like this age they get more demanding. GTAV is a prime example.

ruby oak
#

ohk

but i play rdr2 on a controller so i see no stutters or i think its the controllers vibrate sension

You can run a monitoring tool while gaming to see how much the GPU is being used compared to the CPU

so if 550 can be better than 570, considering a r9 5950x and 1080, what should I really be looking for other than just the basic features (eg 2 m.2, wifi, bt, etc) for performance specifically - or does it not differ much despite the wide range of price points?

Afterburner has one built in, and hwinfo

dont get a 5950x if ur only gonna be gaming btw

finite prawn
#

I'll do stock clock for a good while, though has a "turbo" value on the CPU, I'm assuming that like RAMs XMP profile (OC but predesigned) and should be supported by most boards?

vernal cosmos
#

5900x better for gaming

finite prawn
#

yes, but there is streaming involved, so the extra threads for that

grizzled bloom

Turbo is part of the stock boosting yeah

#

Streaming uses GPU more

nvenc is op for streaming

vernal cosmos

h264 not great

cpu looks bad

finite prawn

well then - ok lol

grizzled bloom

I'd say the boards in the $120-160 price range will do nicely, even for a little overclocking. It's a good sweet spot I think.

finite prawn
#

even with turbo/xmp on? cuz well .. why not 😄

#

damn, I thought I'd need like a 500 board at least

vernal cosmos
#

b550 aorus elite best bang for the buck imo for high end parts

grizzled bloom
#

Turbo is part of stock behavior, and XMP depends more on the memory controller in the CPU

hollow thorn
#

you can go for like b550 tomahawk kinda board if you really wanna oc

not that expensive

no, I don't intend to OC - I've fidled with it in the past, I just want to plug and play now 🙂

# warped musk what is lpddr4x ram

LPDDR4 is the mobile equivalent of DDR4 memory. Compared to DDR4, it has a reduced power consumption but does so at the cost of bandwidth. LPDDR4 has dual 16-bit channels resulting in a 32-bit total bus per DIMM. In comparison, DDR4 has 64-bit channels per DIMM. However, at the same time, LPDDR4 has a wider …

vernal cosmos
grizzled bloom
#

*more efficient

vernal cosmos
#

yeah

dense frost
#

can we just say: good VRM setup to include the VRM and their heatsinks?

vernal cosmos
#

so you can get by on with a worse heatsync on a top tier board running the same settings and same clocks than a bottom tier board

hollow thorn
#

good vrms need less heatsink

#

and bad vrms can't be cooled, at all.

grizzled bloom
#

We use VRM to include a wide array of components related to voltage regulation, so yes

hollow thorn
#

anyways, most reviews and sources will do testing for temp

#

not just what components

grizzled bloom

Temp is a decent indicator if you can standardize the testing

hollow thorn

buildzoid's biostar board was a good example of good parts on paper but horrible in practice

5950x or 5900x for gaming?

grizzled bloom

5900X, it's easier to cool so it can boost longer

warped musk
#

should i take intel into consideration?

grizzled bloom
#

On the high end, AMD stomps them. 11900k is more comparable to 5800X.

Mid and low end, Intel is still strong competition due to value
