And? It would mean it’s only $20 more and I though black was high tier?

vapid bay
#

yes it is

brittle tinsel
#

Like above consumer

#

But not much more expensive

vapid bay
#

then take it if u want it lol

#

looks like it's on sale to me

brittle tinsel
#

Never mind, it’s refurbished

worn wave
#

That's not a black drive either

#

It's a WD Re

#

Basically the Enterprise version of WD Black

brittle tinsel
#

Ah

#

Any good case that can fit 140 fans, a 360 rad in the top, and has drive bays or places to mount drive bays (total of 4) preferably 6

#

I am struggling on mobile here

#

The one I’m looking at is the fractal design define 7, looks like it can hold up to an eatx (not needed) and up to 9 fans but I don’t know what size or if it can hold a rad in the top

autumn aurora
#

RENEWED

brittle tinsel
#

Ok?

autumn aurora
#

Refurbished

brittle tinsel

#

I don’t know if refurbished drives are good but they do pass through some quality testing to ensure it’s fully working , maybe they are better ?

desert scarab

Everything in the case is lighting up

pretty much all the lights connected and or on the board itself

Have you tried just messing with the software? Or nothing so far has been working

autumn aurora

Ehhh try using their native software until you fix the problem?

ayoo

#

I need help

fossil cedar
desert scarab
#

I finished building my pc but when I exit UEFI

#

It puts me right back

#

To the uefi

fossil cedar
#

Do you have windows installed yet?

desert scarab
#

I have to?

#

I have the code

#

but idk what to do w the code

fossil cedar
#

Yes you have to install windows?

fossil cedar
#

@desert scarab google "windows media creation tool"

desert scarab
#

Alrighty

#

Any usb?

fossil cedar
#

The usb needs to be over 8gb and will wipe anything on it tho

desert scarab
#

Like do I need certain amount of space

#

that’s fine

fossil cedar
#

Just make sure anything important is stored elsewhere

desert scarab
#

Wait so where

#

Exactly do I put the code

quasi hemlock
#

I have a problem, I finish putting it together but multiple things aren’t working

#

The fans don’t light up or spin when I turn on the pc even though I have plugged them into power

#

The GPU doesn’t give hdmi output and the ram doesn’t light up either, but I assume that is because of not yet installed drivers

fossil cedar
vagrant olive
#

^

vagrant olive
#

is your mobo lighting up

fossil cedar
vagrant olive
#

if it has rgb

#

yeah it sounds like either mobo or psu issue

fossil cedar
#

But 1stly I'd check to see if all the cables are connected properly

vagrant olive
#

^

quasi hemlock
#

The mobo lights up fine

fossil cedar
vagrant olive
#

did you check all cables are in propery

#

properly

quasi hemlock
#

The problem is I think the front panel connectors could be wrong

#

Like backwards but it is hard to tell

vagrant olive
#

turn off the power supply, then check your motherboard manual. there should be a guide on where all of them should be

quasi hemlock
#

Ok

fossil cedar
#

Hmm you shouldn't even be able to get lights on the mobo tho if the connectors aren't right

balmy patio
#

debug led's might help

#

though some motherboards don't have them

quasi hemlock
#

I don’t know if I should plug the fans into the mobo or this control switch extension

balmy patio
#

what do you mean by a "control switch extensions"

#

is it a fan hub?

quasi hemlock
#

This thing

balmy patio
#

that's a rgb controller

#

don't plug the power from the fans to that, that's for the rgb on the fans

quasi hemlock
#

Then what do I plug into that?

fossil cedar
#

Plug the power for fans into mobo

balmy patio
#

you don't need you plug your rgb headers into that controller, you can plug them onto your motherboard's 3-pin argb header

quasi hemlock
#

So this is the fan power cable

image0.jpg
fossil cedar
#

Thats sata

balmy patio
#

that's a sata plug

#

iirc that connects to the lil rgb controller

fossil cedar
#

Your fan should be a 3 or 4 pin plug

balmy patio
#

^

fossil cedar
balmy patio
#

yee

#

what case do you have @quasi hemlock ?

quasi hemlock
#

MB520 ARGB

balmy patio
#

ahhh ok

#

so you get the rgb from your fans and connect it to the lil included controller, you connect a sata cable from the power supply to the controller, and you use your reset switch from the case (optional) and plug it into the lil rgb controller

#

the fans 4 pin or 3 pin connectors then just plug into the motherboard

quasi hemlock
#

First of all, what is this cable

image0.jpg
balmy patio
#

that's the argb cable

quasi hemlock
#

So that goes into the controller

balmy patio
#

yee

quasi hemlock
#

And it is already plugged into the psu

balmy patio
#

what is, the controller?

quasi hemlock
#

Yes

balmy patio
#

ight yeah that's how it receives power, now if you'd like, connect the reset switch onto the controller so that you can control the rgb with that button

quasi hemlock
#

Would it be better to do that

balmy patio
#

yeah

quasi hemlock
#

Done

balmy patio
#

ight

#

now are your fans all plugged into the motherboard and all?

quasi hemlock
#

I believe so

#

I have plugged them into fan ports so they should be

balmy patio
#

okok

#

now turn it on and check if it still works

#

and if you can tell me, what motherboard do you have?

quasi hemlock
#

Rog-strix B450 WiFi

#

I believe

sharp tundra
#

Bitwit finally finishing his $5000 pc build after like 3 months🙄

balmy patio
quasi hemlock
#

Nope

#

Idk why

balmy patio
#

is the psu on

quasi hemlock
#

Yes

#

The sata cable is plugged in, the argb controller is plugged into the sata, the argb chord is in the controller with the reset but it isn’t working

balmy patio
#

have you checked and reseated the plugs that go onto the motherboard?

#

24 pin and the cpu one for now

sharp tundra
#

This may sound weird, but I think my 4k panel only supports 4k.

#

Cause anytime I put it in anything else it bugs out

desert scarab
#

Uh

#

My monitor won’t turn on

#

Like when I plug the HDMI it doesn’t work

sharp tundra
desert scarab
#

No signal

#

From my pc

#

WAIT

#

nvm fixed it

sharp tundra
#

You make sure all your connections were secure?

desert scarab
#

I have to leave it plugged in then turn on my pc

#

If I have the pc on then plug something in, like my mouse or keyboard it won’t work

#

It has to be before it’s turned on

balmy patio
#

that's kinda weird ngl

#

i wonder what's making it do that

desert scarab
#

yea that it weird

#

Is*

quasi hemlock
#

Does anything here look wrong

image0.jpg
wanton cliff
fossil cedar
#

Looks okay, what's the cable beside the 24 pin tho?

wanton cliff
#

what CPU do you have that you can simply put a wraith stealth on it?

fossil cedar
#

Probs 3600 or sum

wanton cliff
fossil cedar
#

What's the cable beside it for tho?

muted patio
#

USB 3

quasi hemlock
#

The reason I’m asking is because half of the components don’t work

fossil cedar
quasi hemlock
#

Why would the GPU not produce output

balmy patio
quasi hemlock
#

Off

#

This is on, that is the only difference

image0.jpg
#

Nothing else lights up

fossil cedar
#

Cpu fan not spinning?

quasi hemlock
#

I don’t get why the Argb on the ram or fans don’t work

#

Nope

balmy patio
#

are the diagnostic lights lighting up?

#

they should be to the left of the dimm slots

wanton cliff
#

if your PSU is modular, check the connections on that side too

fossil cedar
#

Especially the 4 pin part that's usually a pain

wanton cliff
#

8 pin looks like its working

fossil cedar
#

I meant in the 24 pin connector sometimes it's split to 20+4

wanton cliff
#

not all PSUs come with a 20+4 pin, quite a few are just straight 24 pin

muted patio
#

B550 and what CPU?

quasi hemlock
#

Mine is a Ryzen 5 5600x

muted patio
#

Gotta update BIOS first

#

via Flashback

quasi hemlock
#

How

muted patio
#

What board exactly?

#

B550F Strix?

quasi hemlock
#

I believe so

#

Wifi

fossil cedar
#

Ohh ofc forgot bout b550 needing bios update ;-;

muted patio
#

Confirm please

#

There's E and F

quasi hemlock
#

Ok

#

F

muted patio
quasi hemlock
#

Ok

#

What would the bios update resolve? Just the GPU functionality or everything?

muted patio
#

The whole thing booting

quasi hemlock
#

Ok, I have to find a usb drive then

muted patio
#

CPU isn't supported on that board out of the box

quasi hemlock

Got it

I knew I needed one for windows but didn’t know about bios updates

Hello everyone, does anyone know the difference between these 2 RAMs? There seems to be a price difference. Will they work the other way around with Ryzen and Intel? https://www.newegg.com/corsair-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236642?item=N82E16820236642&source=region&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords-pc&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-pc-_-pla-_-memory+(desktop+memory)-_-N82E16820236642&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4ri_n-Oy7wIVzMDACh2WlgceEAQYASABEgJbjPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236728

fossil cedar
#

Well you're overpaying for either but no diff, if it says ryzen or intel it's just branding basically, although intel theres not much point paying extra for 3600mhz

muted patio
#

Both of those kits are extremely overpriced

fossil cedar
#

Also don't get 3600 cl18

muted patio

#

I just want to make sure that these temps are ok for running heaven and r23 with a 3060ti fe and a 9700k with nh-d15

image0.jpg image1.jpg
#

60s for cpu is good right

fossil cedar
#

Yep

#

Cpus can go up to roughly 100 but will start to throttle around 90

frozen junco
#

I know

#

My fan config is over kill so I wanted to make sure that nothing was wrong

fossil cedar
#

Although your gpu wont really effect your cpus heat apart from dumping different heat levels into the case

fossil cedar

#

I know I have been messing with it

#

I have them on different intakes sort of

@muted patio can i tell you the parts that im getting because im buying them tomorrow and i will keep them in my house until my Lian Li case and Commander Pro arrives

fossil cedar

you could prolly run a 6700xt on a 600 fairly easily

wanton cliff
#

he rarely even games on it

fossil cedar
#

Just to flex jeez sara XD

fossil cedar
wanton cliff
#

he had a $1000 budget and this was before the drought

#

I obviously didnt use all the budget but he wanted to sometimes game on it

#

so I got a 1660 super

#

right now its running a Hyper 212, B450-F, 3600x, 1660 super, and 16 gigs of CL16 Ripjaws RAM

#

3200mhz

fossil cedar
#

Fair

wanton cliff
#

I call it the 'used PC'

#

every part is used, from before the drought

fossil cedar
wanton cliff
#

no

#

most from ebay

#

only used stuff from me was the B450-f and the P300 he is using as a case

#

actually there was a new 500 gb 970 but you cant really get them used anyways

fossil cedar
#

Ahh

#

Omg @solemn rampart you gotta clean that dust out of your pc, you can use canned air to clean the dust

#

That's one dusty pc

#

If you don't clean dust it will make your system hotter and is kinda a fire hazard but tbh you'd probs need a good but more dust

desert gulch
#

bruh a lil dust sitting on the bottom of the case wont do that much

what song to listen to...

does anyone know of there is any type of software that would let me sync my ql fans with the rest of my build

wanton cliff
#

thats what im trying to figure out right now

orchid charm
#

what motherboard are you using

wanton cliff
#

TUF X570

#

Asus

#

Aura sucks tho and wont detect my fans

orchid charm
#

i know that aura doesnt recognize corsair fans

#

thats my issue right now

wanton cliff
#

I'm using Vardars from EK

#

OMFG iCUE FINALLY WORKS

#

CHRIST THAT TOOK FOREVER

muted patio
#

Welcome to the wonderful world of RGB and why I hate it

wanton cliff
#

kekw

#

so what I did

#

I downloaded Aura and iCUE

#

because iCUE only recognizes it when it Aura is installed

#

reset windows

#

updated iCUE

#

reset windows again

#

and now it finally works

earnest olive
#

icue bad

still roostBOT
#
ILazyVibesI#6926 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

orchid charm
#

Icue is trash

wanton cliff
#

yeah but its the only software that seems to work with my fans so 😛

orchid charm
#

I only need it for my fans but I want to sync everything through one software

wanton cliff
#

what board

orchid charm
#

B550 E

#

Asus

wanton cliff
#

use the method listed above

#

only install aura, not armoury crate

fossil cedar
#

tbf abs have like a 550$ pc that has like 10400 and 1650 or something

wanton cliff
#

that was before a 1650 was a minimum of $400

fossil cedar
#

nvm that dipped

orchid charm

800 for a 10400 and 1050 ti ouch

Hey guys how many cores do you need for gaming and Discord a. Chrome in the background? My friend just asked me

robust lake
#

What are you talking about

wanton cliff
#

max

orchid charm
#

^

wanton cliff
#

also depends on game

stoic island
#

depends heavily on game

wanton cliff
#

and which cores

stoic island
#

Chrome and discord don't really care about CPU cores

#

when they're on the background they might use like 10% of a single thread plus ram

warm swift
stoic island
#

sure

warm swift
# stoic island sure

basically i just bought the Lian Li case and Commander pro 2 days ago so in a week or more it will be delivered, but tomorrow i will buy the other parts from the store in egypt

stoic island
#

Okay

warm swift
#

so i just wanna show you my parts, and my brother's parts

#

is that alright?

stoic island
#

dew it

warm swift
#

tell me what you think of my parts first

stoic island
#

as long the pricing makes sense for regional pricing, since I can't exactly check your local prices

orchid charm
#

What else did you do to fix the syncing issues?@wanton cliff

fossil cedar
#

looks g, why 9 fans tho

wanton cliff

nothing else

#

iCUE should handle it

alright lol, so my brother's parts, i told you that im not getting him a motherboard/cpu/memory because he already has all of that, but what im getting him is the same 2tb ssd that im getting and MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio, Cooler Master TD500 MESH, same Strix 1000w PSU, and SP120 fans or ill see what fans to get when i go there

small osprey
#

uh

#

1000w psu?

#

overkill much

stoic island
#

eh, 5900x+3080, if they want headroom, makes sense

small osprey
#

850w enough

stoic island
#

well, lots of headroom

#

but yea

warm swift
#

hey listen

#

he didnt have any 850w

stoic island
#

@small osprey no d.f. avaliable so

small osprey
#

ah

#

ok then

stoic island
#

I still kinda doubt strix 1000w would be cheapest so

warm swift
#

and plus i dont think its overkill because it will be helpful over the next few years

stoic island
#

keep an eye out for RM1000i

small osprey
#

superflower leadex ftw

stoic island
#

nah

#

stop being SF shill

#

join CWT shilling club

small osprey
#

lol

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

not even completely sure if modern RMi is CWT

#

@fossil cedar fyi, 5900x+3080 fe/stock can do fine with 750w, 850w does give it headroom

#

do keep in mind good PSUs can do 10+% overload without issues

warm swift
#

but Mr1111 is the psu not good?

#

the strix one

stoic island
#

it's good, just name brand expensive

warm swift
#

i think its the only one he has tho

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

oh I thought you were buying it

wanton cliff
#

hey @muted patio , you remember my USB issues a couple weeks ago? AMD is saying they have a fix in the new AGESA update

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

@fossil cedar I mean, it feels like we're not increasing in wattage as high end PCs go on

#

also

#

nothing beats quad opteron

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

and that was what, 5 years back

warm swift
stoic island
#

@fossil cedar a 750w PSU from ~8 years ago does just fine

wanton cliff
#

remember that 400w AMD card from... what was it, 2016?

fossil cedar
#

yeah true

stoic island
#

I know a guy was here that had a Corsair Enthusiast TX 750w that was going to run a 3070 on it

stoic island
wanton cliff
#

what happened?

wanton cliff
#

Bleach and I had a talk about it a little bit ago

#

specifically, it has triple 8 pins

potent portal
#

Fury X?

wanton cliff
#

and looked like something from 2016

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

vega 64 was 300w tdp

#

oh wait I think I know

#

295x2 prob

warm swift

no wait fury x was 275

stoic island
#

AHAHAHAHA

#

500w tdp

wanton cliff
#

which one was that

stoic island
#

295x2

#

card from 2014

desert gulch
#

its an a tier

stoic island
#

@warm swift with a td500 mesh I don't think you need more fans

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

@desert gulch availability iirc

desert gulch
#

oh ok

wanton cliff
#

the one I saw was triple 8 pin

desert gulch
#

1tb 860 is like 60 usd i think rn

fossil cedar
#

imo you should get 4000d airflow but 🤷

stoic island
#

you sure you're looking at the right card @wanton cliff this is the 295x2

wanton cliff

also the 980 non-pro is coming out soon

warm swift

you may get lucky

stoic island

no need

if you have one near you

there's a point where more fans does nothing beyond 1 more

@desert gulch e g y p t

alright then

has windshield said anything on it?

stoic island

good hmb perf

#

yea I talked to him briefly a while ago

desert gulch
#

hmmmm

warm swift
#

corsair RM and HX?

stoic island
#

@warm swift anything tier A on LTT PSU tier list

warm swift
#

can you send me that list?

stoic island
warm swift
#

i mean the Asus strix is on the Tier A list

wanton cliff
#

and?

warm swift
#

so its good right?

#

is it not?

potent portal
#

Tier A are the best ones

warm swift
#

ik

#

i thought it was Tier B or something, but it turns out its on A

wanton cliff
#

well its tier a

warm swift
potent portal
#

Tier B is good too unless you're throwing a RTX 3080 at it

warm swift
#

i am

wanton cliff
warm swift
stoic island
#

Right now, the issue isn't strix is bad quality, it's that strix price is generally too high

warm swift
#

idk what those Corsair ones means

stoic island
#

Their names?

warm swift
orchid charm
#

if theres one thing you shouldnt skimp on then its the psu

warm swift
wanton cliff
#

corsair is a company, their PSUs have different names

potent portal
#

Model names and efficiency ratings

stoic island
#

There's very slight variations but yea

warm swift
potent portal
#

Like RMx 80+ gold

warm swift
stoic island
#

their name usually squishes wattage inbetween them

warm swift
#

because i dont get the stuff thats on there

stoic island
#

like AXi 1600w = AX1600i

warm swift
#

ah ok

stoic island
#

Basically

#

For 1000w

#

HXi>HX Plat>RMi>RMx>RM/Strix

#

but that's all with very slight variations that make one better than another

#

like 2% efficiency differences for efficiency rating

#

all good

#

actually strix might have jap caps

warm swift
#

ah so if i get any of those im good right?

stoic island
#

need to check

#

yes

orchid charm
#

more than good

warm swift
stoic island
#

Japanese caps, 105c rated capacitors, higher quality and efficiency

lyric thistle
#

Japanese capacitors

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

P-GM picked em off the factory floor

wanton cliff
#

kek

stoic island
#

which factory, which floor? We don't know

warm swift
#

well thank you for the info ill write that down in my note and ask him if he has any of those psu's

stoic island
#

:)

#

also, price is likely the main consideration for you, once again, all are good

orchid charm
#

mind if i ask you something @stoic island

stoic island
#

sure

warm swift
orchid charm
#

if i wanted to pair a 5900x with a 3070 whats the smallest psu i can use

stoic island
#

650w min, 750w average

orchid charm
#

ah perfect

#

thank you

stoic island
#

basically, if you already own a good 650w unit, should work

wanton cliff
#

asus is saying that the TUF B550 will be ryzen 5000 ready out-of-box, according to their add on a newer GN video

stoic island
#

but I'd buy 750w if you're buying a new unit

#

@wanton cliff eh, prob gonna be like MSI with b450 max boards

warm swift
stoic island
#

out of box not guaranteed yet

wanton cliff
#

not likely

stoic island
#

quite likely imo, prob a 70% chance it would be

orchid charm
#

well thats a shame

warm swift
#

wdym not likely so if i buy that Motherboard and the 5900x the cpu wont work?

stoic island
#

beta bios for zen 3 support was released like a year ago

#

@warm swift just need bios update

#

not compatibility issue

warm swift
orchid charm
#

what i decided to go for a 3080 with the 5900x

stoic island
#

@wanton cliff Yea, beta bios for zen 3 support came out 7 months ago, I'd say good chance a new board you buy now has bios

potent portal
stoic island
#

I'd say 750w min

#

850w optimal

wanton cliff
stoic island
wanton cliff
#

I'd say 50/50

muted patio
#

Just did one last night that did not

wanton cliff

conservative estimate

stoic island

I just think 7 months ago seems quite likely

muted patio

Actually, this morning

stoic island

When was the purchase date?

muted patio
#

In here, scroll up

#

They just got it

stoic island
#

hmmmmm

warm swift
stoic island
#

either way you can flash it with a usb stick

#

@warm swift the bios that supports booting with zen 3 released 7 months ago

unknown.png
muted patio
#

No, they just got the board and had to update it

stoic island
#

agesa 1.0.8

solemn rampart
#

Whats a good hardware monitor, i want to see my specs numbers and temps

stoic island
#

hwinfo64

wanton cliff
#

HWiNFO64

muted patio
stoic island
#

interesting

#

old stock

warm swift
stoic island
#

I'll put it this way

#

the motherboard is always, and has always been mechanically compatible (socket wise)
but software wise, only the more recent bios versions are compatible for boot

#

So, if you get a board that doesn't have the compatible bios, you just flash on a more recent one with a usb stick

muted patio
#

Not 1.0.8?

@muted patio I mean, it only makes sense if 1.0.8 comes before 1.1.0 xD

warm swift
warm swift

#

Yeah

warm swift
orchid charm
little osprey
#

b550-e is just better

warm swift
#

yeah whats better about it?

fossil cedar
# warm swift thank you so much

make sure you read the notes on the bios tho and that you dont have to update to a diff bios version before installing the almost latest

little osprey
#

its mainly just better overclocking ability

muted patio
stoic island
#

no no no

#

@muted patio I mean, it's talking about 1.1.8 as the one needed to boot, BEFORE the full release of 1.1.0

warm swift
fossil cedar
stoic island
#

wouldn't it make more sense that it's 1.0.8 before 1.1.0?

desert gulch
#

its for an amd product, so no need for it to make sense

warm swift
orchid charm
stoic island
#

ima check

muted patio
#

Forget it lol

stoic island
#

"Upgrade To 500 Series BIOS With AGESA 1.1.0.0 For The Best Experience"

#

so it's talking about the 1.1.8 (1.0.8) as the one needed to boot, before that 1.1.0 is released, as you now update to 1.1.0

muted patio
#

Yes, just read the headline. Fantastic.

stoic island
#

let's see

#

b550-e has post code

#

1 more pcie x16 slot

#

one more argb header

orchid charm
#

wow i feel robbed

warm swift
orchid charm
#

the b550f is way cheaper than the b550e

#

and i really didnt need these extra features

warm swift
orchid charm
#

it was part of a bundle

#

through the newegg shuffle

warm swift
#

i mean honestly it is still a pretty good motherboard, so you dont have to feel so bad about it

orchid charm
#

yeah you are right about that

little osprey
#

its not just better overclocking ability

#

there are a few others but its mainly overclocking

#

like usb-c audio etc

orchid charm
potent portal
#

Bundle savings probably make up for the cost difference, and it's good to have extras for later to upgrade

little osprey
#

b550-f also has 2 versions

#

non-wifi and wifi

orchid charm
#

oh that i didnt know

little osprey
#

b550-e automatically gets value due to always having wifi

orchid charm
warm swift
potent portal
#

I'd say that's a pretty good deal then

little osprey
stoic island
little osprey

#

usb c audio is a big plus for some

stoic island

what if I told you

#

usb-a to usb-c adapter

orchid charm
#

well yeah

little osprey
#

😳

orchid charm
#

that works

#

meizu dong op

its just another thing that can break, 1111

#

smh

stoic island
#

break me how

#

how do you break grains of dust

little osprey
#

😡

stoic island
#

lol

#

@little osprey and onboard audio isn't?

#

try troubleshooting any onboard audio issues

#

:D

little osprey
#

its 50$ diff

orchid charm
#

he had a point with wifi. its worth the extra money

stoic island
#

anyways

#

it is what it is

#

aorus elite ax beats both in price to perf either way

#

so

little osprey
#

aorus STINKS

stoic island
#

no U

little osprey
#

also they can't really be compared

stoic island
#

what you on about

little osprey
#

b550-f yeah

#

b550-e no

#

for overclockers b550-e is def better

warm swift
#

b550-f isnt that bad tho

#

right?

little osprey
#

its good mobo

#

buy aorus instead if you want

#

but if you specifically need overclocking ability in a certain budget b550-e

orchid charm
#

at some point a mobo comes down to personal preference

warm swift
#

is everyone here overclocking?

stoic island
#

smh

little osprey
stoic island
#

if you need overclocking ability

#

b550 taichi or whatever it was called was 140$ for a while

#

forgot the name

orchid charm
stoic island
#

it has a post code

little osprey
#

its 255$

#

you talking about extreme4?

stoic island
#

PG Velocita

warm swift
#

@stoic island @little osprey do you both overclock?

stoic island
#

a week ago

#

very slightly

little osprey
#

pg velocita has 14 phase

stoic island
#

Forky, Fits, and Bryce are the real OCers

little osprey
#

stoic island
#

bruh

#

don't just read phase count

little osprey
#

im still reading

#

smh

stoic island
#

Velocita has dedicated doubler

#

B550-e is dualed

little osprey
#

does rgb turn off

warm swift
#

Mr1111 is overclocking important? and what do you overclock exactly?

stoic island
#

@little osprey you know what OC features pg velocita has and b550-e doesn't? Power and reset switches >:D

#

@warm swift not important at all, very annoying, it's for fun

little osprey
#

only good for my mining rigs

stoic island
#

OCing

warm swift
stoic island
#

look at open top benches

#

I OC for fun

little osprey
#

i have power reset switches i can plug in

stoic island
#

a little

warm swift
#

ah ok

orchid charm
#

overclocking comes down to luck

stoic island
#

yes, but BUTTON

little osprey
#

eh

warm swift
#

so when i buy my pc, you think i should overclock or nah?

stoic island
#

not completely luck

#

nah

warm swift
#

alright then

little osprey
#

Only overclocking you should do is turning on PBO

#

anything else is annoying

warm swift
little osprey
#

@stoic island does rgb turn off on the pg

warm swift
#

or just a thing i should try?

little osprey
#

looking for mobo to buy today

#

You don't need to do it, its just a few clicks for a free performance boost

warm swift
#

alright

warm swift
stoic island
#

dunno

#

@warm swift don't get the wrong idea, b550-e was never more useful from a normal consumer standpoint
