| TL;DR: 5600X is best for gaming. Stop asking. Posted: 05 Nov 2020 08:19 AM PST Reviews are out. Not sure if we have a mega thread, but TL:DR is 5600X is (edit) budget gaming king. No need for higher end chips unless you have specific productivity requirements for more cores. Edit: As the down votes pour in, I'll clarify that 5800X and up do not appear to show gaming performance improvements worth the price difference. I also believe that "future proofing" is a lie and if/when we see consistent requirement for 8 cores in games one can either buy new generation or drop in used 5800X. In the meantime, one can keep $150 in their pocket (or get better GPU) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just got a 3080 and my performance is way worse than my 2070 Super! Please help! Posted: 04 Nov 2020 04:00 PM PST I'm running a core i7 7700k, which I know is not IDEAL, but I plan to mostly play at 4k 60 and 1440p 60 so im not too worried about the bottleneck. The problem is, I cant even get 1440p 60fps on medium in the Witcher 3, something which my 2070S could easily do. I installed the drivers, my ram is seated, and I updated my PC. Nothing has worked. I'm worried, as I upgraded my PSU for a 3080, and have no way of knowing if its the PSU's fault or the GPUs fault. In Userbenchmark, it says everything is fine, except my CPU performs a bit under what was expected, while my GPU is performing AWFUL! lowest 6 percentile. In game, my CPU is only reaching about 50% utilization, meanwhile my GPU is reaching 90-100%, meaning I dont think my CPU is bottlenecks my GPU. Any help appreciated!!! Edit: solved! The GPU wasn't seated all the way in. J suspect maybe it wasn't using all the possible PCIE lanes or something because of it. But re-seating it fixed my problems. Thanks for the help!

| Ryzen 5000 X570, B550, A520 Motherboard Featureset and General Usage Tier List. Posted: 05 Nov 2020 10:24 AM PST Welcome to the AM4 A520/B550/X570 Feature Set and General Usage Tier list. This tier list covers nearly every A520/B550/X570 mobo on the market. Outdated chipsets that no one should buying in this day and age like B450 are not considered, with one exception, and no, it is not the B450 Tomahawk Max which is outdated and superseded by better options. This is part one of a 3-part series I will be doing on motherboards. Part 2 will focus on motherboard misconceptions, and Part 3 will focus on how to choose a good Motherboard yourself, which will deep dive into where I found the info I have. This guide is not fully complete, but I wanted to get it out now, so everyone can make choices for the holiday season. There are a lot of formatting things I want to do, and I haven't fully analyzed low tier and bad boards. This tier list focuses on the whole feature set of the Motherboard. There are 7 criteria that are used to Tier each Motherboard. Price, VRMs, Audio Codec, Lan Chip (NIC), Internal Connectors, Back Panel I/O, and Special Features. No one feature is considered better then another. So, a relatively bad MOBO could be in say Tier A, if it is priced really well. Conversely. A really high end $500 MOBO that has notably worse features then other $400-500 boards might be low tier even though the components are really good. EDIT: One important consideration I forgot to talk about is price. Price is huge force multiplier for a board. A board with weaker VRMs, or a not great amount of special features will have a higher tier, if it is priced reasonably, or better then other boards at it's price point. This is why you see some boards with lesser components in higher tiers. This brings us to the concept of Motherboard Relativity. Motherboard quality is only relative to each other. A 500 dollar MOBO may have really good components, but compared to other $500 Mobos it might be crap with the features closer to 300 dollar mobos. Next, it means is when I say something is Tier S or "high end" I mean that it is high end compared to other motherboards. For example, my current motherboard is an x470 Taichi Ultimate. This motherboard has the highest end Realtek 1220 audio codec, and it has a built in DAC. How good is the audio? About as good as my $100 FiiO X1 high resolution MP3 player. To be fair, that MP3 player has really good sound, better than any IPOD I ever owned, better than several boom boxes I owned when I was younger, and better than any phone I've owned. The audio on a $100 board like a B550 pro4 may have a high end audio codec compared to other Motherboards. So when I say something is a high end or Tier S or A component, I only mean that the component is that quality compared to every other MOBO on the market. Compared to a dedicated device like a High Resolution MP3 Player that has $100 worth of sound hardware inside it, a $100 B550m Pro4 has to provide sound, and networking, and voltage regulation, and power the ports and so on. So even though the B550m Pro 4 has a "high end" audio codec, trying to power high end $300-500 headphones or like a 4-figure sound system would not be recommended without additional equipment. The sound or other stuff on most boards will be fine for the majority of users, but others looking for specialized tasks may need to buy extra equipment. In other words, MOBOs are designed to do a wide variety of tasks pretty well. A few other details. First, this is a General Use guide. This means that balanced boards are rewarded and unbalanced boards are punished. This means this guide will disagree with some tech tubers or other tier lists. For example, the MSI B550 Gaming Plus is hugely punished for its weak non-VRM feature set for its price, when comparably priced boards may have a bit weaker VRMs, but a better non-VRM feature set. Next, this tier list also tiers individual components on a MOBO. I have not bothered to tier individual components of tier D and F mobos. I might some time later, but for now, not worth the effort. I need to get this out, and if a mobo is bad, it is bad, not a priority for me. Next, good A520 MOBOs are rare, hard to find, and pricing and VRM data is hard to come by. This is likely due to the Mosfet shortage that has likely hurt the higher end a520 boards. Low end boards are common enough, a lot of them suck. I have had to do some guess work on a520, these boards may move up a tier or maybe down as better data on price and VRMs come out. Intel users, I have zero problem with Intel in general. I even know that the 10000 series CPUs are pretty decent. However, I'm sorry but most people are buying AMD in this day and age, and working on this has taken a lot of time and effort. I simply don't have time right now to do a guide for B460/Z490 or research intel components and do them justice, I am sorry. However, many (but not all) motherboards have similar features across CPU companies. So, an MSI Z490 board may have similar components across both AMD an Intel at its price point. This isn't always true but it should guide you in being able to reverse engineer what I am saying about AMD boards for your intel boards by comparing motherboard specifications and VRMs at a price. Also, be warned, the i225-V 2.5 GB lan chip common on Intel MOBOs has issues. A lot more intel boards are tier C. So, Let's begin with the tier list explanation. In general, Tier S, A, B are what you should consider. Tier S: Highly Recommended and priced reasonably for the features. Tier A: Highly Recommended, may be missing some features that would place in S tier, or has a lot of features but also high prices. Still, these are great boards. Tier B: Good, but flawed. Boards in this price range may be priced too high for what you get, lack major features compared to price point competition, or have some jank, or have some outdated features, or are just not amazing because they have to skimp too much to fit into a price point. These are reasonable options if you know what you are doing, are on budget, or need a feature on one of these boards that can't be had anywhere else. In some cases, sales can make these move up a tier. Tier C: Boards that would be in Tier S through B, but have a legitimate flaw or faulty part. You need to do your research and look deep into these boards before considering them. The problems may not affect you, or could be severe. Tier D: Not recommended. Either bad but with minor qualities. I call this the third world tier as a lot of users in non-western countries have to choose this tier as better Motherboards are massively overpriced in their country. Users in the US, and most of the EU should avoid like the plague. Also included are certain high end boards that are so massively overpriced for the features and outcompeted that no one should buy them. Tier F: Do not buy. These boards are not for general usage, not even for a kid's computer or are a MASSIVE rip off. They are either shockingly outcompeted at their price point, or are designed only for simple office work PCs or at most Netflix machines. Columns: From left to right. Column 1, Motherboard Tier and Name: This is the actual tier of the motherboard itself. These are not in any particular order. And yes, I do have my favorites and my most disliked in various tiers. Column 2: Tier Notes. This section is simply my notes as to why a board made a specific tier, or any relevant data that I feel needs to be mentioned. This will give a reason why a board is ranked the way it is. For example, in tier D, my notes for the X570 Crosshair VIII Formula read: Overpriced for the features, outcompeted by the competition at its price point. Does nothing really well, maybe LN2 Ocing and that is it. THESE ARE NOT REVIEWS. Simply notes, and my basic thoughts. If I review a board it will be much more in depth. Like this or this. Column 3: Price in USD that I used for Tiering. This is simply a section say, hey this board was this price when I tiered it. This useful for sales. Also, in some cases a board from tier B or A may move up a tier if it is on sale. Column 4: 4 Year Future Proof Rating. Motherboards are one of the easiest and most effective ways to future proof a build. This is because the components on a Motherboard will never decline the way that a CPU or a GPU does. Your USB-C port will still function in 4 years. A 2.5 GB LAN chip will still be a 2.5 GB LAN chip. This section covers the 4 technologies that are likely to matter to builders, PCIE Gen 4, 2.5 GB lan, VRMs capable of running the entire Ryzen 3000 Stack, and USB-C. Finally, these technologies were chosen because they can be had on relatively cheap boards. PCIE Gen 4: At some point, you will need a large PCIE Gen 4 SSD if you want your PC to fully compete with next consoles. Games will be heavily optimized for PCIE gen 4 SSDs, and PCIE gen 4 is needed for the real time data streaming which will be a notable performance boost. For now, PCIE Gen 4 SSDs are overpriced, and not worth it as it will probably take a year or two for games to really start using it, but in the lifespan of your build if you build right now, PCIE gen 4 will likely matter a lot. USB-C: A recent change in European Union law has required most devices to have USB-C ports. Changes to laws like this are known as the Brussel Effect, because they change products worldwide as EU has almost 446 million people in relatively affluent countries. Many tech commentators feel more USB-C devices are going become much more common. While you may never need USB-C device, having the option is wonderful, and can be purchased on motherboards at reasonable prices. Thunderbolt 3 is considered a USB-C port. 2.5 GB Lan chip (NIC): Most people have cat 5e cables in their homes. This makes jumping up to 5GB internet or 10 GB internet difficult. 2.5 GB internet is the next big jump as it will work with cat 5e cables in your home., already a push is underway add this internet to many western countries. It may never come to your area, but if it does, you will be ready. 1 GB internet should still be fine for the next four years for those concerned about how much they need it. VRMs capable of running the entire Ryzen 3000 stack at stock speeds with no OC: This is very simple. If you ever want to replace your CPU with a much better one. These VRMs will allow you to do that. Column 5, VRMs Tier: This section covers the VRMs or Voltage Regulation Modules. Because this is general use guide, my VRM tier list is much different than other VRM tier lists. It is NOT focused on Overclocking. Meaning as long as a MOBO can get a decent overclock on a Ryzen 3950x I consider it good enough for S Tier. There can be very wide range in my S tier for Overclockers. Overclockers should look at detailed tier lists and temp data elsewhere. Column 6, Audio Tier: This section tiers the audio of the MOBOs. Like I said above, audio is tiered compared to what is on other Motherboards, not compared to say high end products. Column 7, Lan Chip (NIC): This section tiers the LAN chip of the Motherboard. In general, all MOBO LAN chips work fine. Some have better throughput and so on. However, not the intel i225-V is having issues. Until the B3 stepping arrives on Mobo's, likely next spring. I cannot recommend boards with this until further research is done, or the B3 stepping arrives. I am going talk A LOT MORE about this in my upcoming misconceptions guide. I am not happy with the lack of data from tech media who should know better, and are recommending possibly faulty boards. Column 8, WIFI Support: WIFI is actually considered a special feature for purposes of Tiering, but I figured it would be a nice to mention it separately on the tier list. This simple explains whether a board has WIFI 6, WIFI 5, a m.2 E key so you can add your own WIFI m.2 card, or none, meaning you need a PCIE card or USB adapter. It is almost always cheaper to buy a better MOBO then to add a WIFi PCIE card. Not always though, but in most cases. M.2 WIFI modules and a good set of antennas (make sure 25 CM or longer NGFF pigtails) are cheaper then adding PCIE WIFI Card, and most of those have m.2 WIFI modules hidden inside anyway. Column 9, Internal Connectors/Headers Tier: This section covers the internal connectors of your motherboard. Things like internal USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 support, and various other useful connectors. This section is a bit vague. It's up to you whether to research these things, or whether they matter. A board may a have thunderbolt 3 header but no internal USB-C, but I gave them both the same tier. You need to make sure the board has the right connector for your case or card. Column 10, Back Panel I/O: Similar to the above, this section is a bit vague. Do I give the MOBO with no USB-C but with 10 USB-A ports, and every other useful port A or B? In general, though, I feel I have come up with a pretty decent tier system that should give you useful general info. Column 11, Special Features: This was an incredibly difficult section. Similar to the above it can be a bit vague. I stopped listing the special features after S tier. I think you get the idea. I may come back and do the other tiers, but for now, I only listed them for S tier for time sake. This should give you a good idea of what I am looking when I tier special features.

| Thinking of trying my hand at building my own case Posted: 05 Nov 2020 05:08 AM PST Being away for so long I wanted to stop in here and ask this question. Back in the day when I bign into case modding, you had a few people here and there that actually built their own case. Anyone here ever do that? If so I'd love to see some pics. Thinking of trying my hand at it cause I'm kinda crafty and pretty good with metal. Something that looks old. I think that's what I want to go for. You know how the Combine's metal all looked kind of aged in Half Life 2? Like it was all well worn and had seen a lot of use. Thing I want something like that. Or maybe something that vaguely resembles a very weathered outdoor breaker box from the 1950's. Not real sure yet. Any ideas or suggestions or starting points regarding any of this would be very welcome. So have you ever built your own case? Or got any good pics of one?

| 4 short beeps mobo, root cause and how to not break your PC Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:35 PM PST Was installing a new GPU in my Gigabyte Z490 motherboard (Aorus Pro AX) yesterday and ran into an issue with 4 short beeps that all sprang from using a screwdriver without adequate caution. I could not easily find a similar situation online, so want to share this as a cautionary tale and also to help anyone later who runs into something like this and is searching. I tried to slip a screw driver under the card, parallel with the motherboard PCB to lock the PCIe retaining clip closed and help the card seat in the slot before I powered the system on with new card. Was using screwdriver instead of finger because space was very tight, but I couldn't see real well in there (even with a light). To my surprise, the computer (with the PSU switched in the off, open circuit position) suddenly powered up! I immediately pulled the power cable out of the PSU and it shut back off. When I was ready to first boot with the card, the bios settings were reset, but this did not seem unusual because the Gigabyte board bios seemed to be picky with hardware changes during my initial build. After I restored the BIOS settings, I would get 4 short beeps before the BIOS post screen. The PC still boot into Windows fine though. A search for beep codes says this is as a RTC (real time clock) malfunction that is usually accompanied by other issues, like the computer not booting, obvious time discrepancies or errors, inability to hold BIOS settings, etc. None of those things seemed to be issues though because the computer would restart and cold boot fine, holding settings and time, plus seemingly running/playing games without issue. Looking at a diagram of the motherboard, I found that the CMOS battery is actually right next to PCIe slot 1, but hidden from view underneath the motherboard 'armor' plating. *Face palm* I realize that I accidentally shorted the CMOS battery I didn't see with the screwdriver, which backfed power through the motherboard to the PSU and this is what caused it to suddenly power on so oddly. To better test, I then left the PSU completely unplugged overnight and when I came back in the morning, BIOS settings were lost again and the time in Windows was still showing last night. Conclusion:

| Where to buy RYZEN 5000 series? Posted: 04 Nov 2020 04:27 PM PST | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 09:27 AM PST Hi all! So as the title suggests, I want to know more about CAS latency. This is the build I'm currently going for (feel free to make any revisions). https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vbhBcT As you can see, I have a kit of CL18 32gb 3600mhz ram, but I've had a few people telling me to spend the little extra to get the G. Skill Trident Z RGB 32gb kit, still at 3600mhz but with a CAS latency of 16. But I really don't wanna spend much more than what I already am, and I really really want all the lighting to be controlled under one software; in this case, iCue since a lot of my components are Corsair, and Asus Aura is compatible with iCue. Will I experience much of a difference with CL16 rather than CL18? Will I be fine with the current setup I have on the list? Will it be worth spending money for a "faster" kit of ram? This build is meant to be mostly for gaming and coding, but I want the build to be a jack of all trades, hence the overkill specs for gaming. Thank you all for the help! :) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| First ever PC build! I haven't had/used a Windows PC for ~15 years. Let's go!

| Computer Not loading Past MSI Splash Screen Posted: 05 Nov 2020 02:16 PM PST I just bought and installed: Z490-A MSI 10700k i7 2x 8gb DDR4 3000Mhz on top of my existing build utilizing: MSI 970 Coolermaster Something, idk its a really good cooling system 750w Corsair Supply So far at boot-up there are no beeping noises that would alert me to faulty parts and I still have access to BIOS but I just cannot get past the MSI splash screen. Earlier today there were no issues (before upgrade) and within the bios it still detects my HDD and SSD with my windows installation. I have considered a fresh windows installation but I would have to buy windows as this copy is not mine so I would like to avoid that route if possible.

| "Backorder" from B&H but for how long? Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:23 PM PST Hey everyone, I know a lot of people are upset that they weren't able to order one of these new AMD Ryzen cpu chipsets. Before the release time B&H where allowing you to preorder any of the new cpu chipsets. I took it upon myself to preorder the Ryzen 9 5950x just in case I couldn't guarantee one for my brother and myself, and now after checking again the product from the email they send me all I'm met with saying it's "Backorder". Yes I know what it means but I wanted to see if I could hear your guys experience you may have had with B&H from preorders products that where backorders. How long did it take to receive? Or how long until they start process shipping ect. I'm contemplating whether I should cancel the order and get my money back and try for next time on a different retail website when there are more available chipsets.

| So I need a little bit of help Posted: 05 Nov 2020 01:21 PM PST So for my birthday I got a entire pc build and I'm just wondering if someone can give me a website to check stats or for someone to tell me. My family isn't the best money wise so my stuff isn't great but it's decent. Also are there any possible upgrades for any of these that don't go past the $400 range? Sorry if I made some people mad I'm completely new to this and I barely know anything.

| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 01:18 PM PST So I finally started the upgrade today from an i5-6600K to a Ryzen 7 3700X, and (once my preorder arrives) from gtx 1070 to rtx 3070. Only issue is, I stripped and cleaned everything, started installing only to discover that my noctua cooler mounts don't fit AM4 motherboards due to me buying it in 2016. I now have to wait a couple of days for a mounting kit to be sent which is annoying.

| Fan curve and temps for a Ryzen 3600 Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:56 PM PST I have a new system up and running with a 3600 CPU and the AMD stock cooler and I want to make sure I didn't set my fan curve to be too conservative. I want this thing to run as quietly as possible unless under heavy load so I accept temperatures will probably be a little higher. 45% RPM up to 55C 55% RPM at 65C 75% RPM at 72C 100% RPM at 78C This thing is super quiet around 45% RPM so that's ideally what I want to keep my base fan speed at. Idles around 40C and under light load I would say varies from 50C-65C. Heavy load (like full disk scans or CPU stress test) it can get to 75C-80C. Are these temps and fan curve OK? Or would I be better off with higher RPMs and lower temps all around? Thanks. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
