I'll keep my 2200g until the ryzen 4600 (or whatever will be the last AM4 series) is 2 years old

I bought a 3600 just because I'm a sick fuck who actually enjoys beta testing and constant bios updates. Will get a 4700X or whatever next year as a longer term CPU.

3700X gets shat on by 9700K in gaming you stupid shill

Man, I'm kinda jelly. What did you do to this card?
Just ordered cheap thermal pads; I'll report tomorrow. Apparently the temperatures will be less heinous, down a whooping 10°C from 40+ to 30ish.

Pretty sure they only confirmed they'd support AM4 until 2020. Plus there's no way to know for certain if the current set of AM4 motherboards will support newer AM4 CPUs out the box or whether they'd require further BIOS updates.
There was a recent interview around computex time where they said something along the lines of "we will only change socket when there is a fundamental change in the way PCI-E or DDR works". I'll link to it when I find it.
I'm going to build a pc for the first time. It's going to have a ryzen 5 2600 with 2x8 3000mhz RAM in it. However, I can't for the life of me figure out what motherboard I should get. I just want something that won't bottleneck its components. I can't wait to fly this baby.
Elijah Cooper
These are onsale on Ebay for 108 bucks like new but the cooler looks like a flimsy piece of crap. Is it still a worthwhile upgrade from a GTX 770?
EVGA tends to make the best ngreedia AIB that or maybe their marketing/shilling budget is better
Jayden Gonzalez
msi tomahawk or wait for the msi tomahawk max series to future proof your rig in case you want to upgrade to zen2 in the future

Carson Rodriguez
Maybe bad reporting, maybe very good contact, who knows. Now you mention it, it's a very low delta.
The cooler is shit and you'd be better off spending a bit more, but it's a good upgrade.

Sebastian Sanchez
I have some weird stuff that just happened to my pc, and I want to know why.
My gtx 1080 has fans that are very prone to not working if they get dust in them, so I have to clean them probably once a month or they don't Rev up when booting. I turned my pc off and used a qtip and rubbing alcohol and cleaned the fans, waited a couple of minutes, and turned on the pc.
Then the pc had some troubles turning on, it turned on for a couple of seconds and turned off, and turned on for a couple of seconds and repeated the process. I fixed it by turning the psu off and on again and it runs like normal now.
Why is it doing this? I'm assuming it is due to a power draw thing on boot with the fans not working and then suddenly working, or an issue with discharge that made the power delivery finicky.
>“It will really take a major inflection point in the platform technology for us to move off of socket AM4,” says AMD’s David McAfee, adding that it would probably take a major change in how memory or PCI expansion slots work before AMD needs to move to a new socket.
So yeah, expect to see future AM4 boards with both DDR4 and DDR5 compatibility.
Nathan Russell
Why you don't simply replace the fans
Henry Gutierrez

The extra money put into an aftermarket cooler to salvage MSI’s shitheap might as well be put into buying a card with a good cooler already. The RX580 itself is flat out superior to the 770 though.
Charles Wilson
>Man, I'm kinda jelly. What did you do to this card? A lot.
i'm getting kernel power error 41 sometimes when I manually restart the pc, everything is fine and boots normally, yet the error are there
Justin Campbell
Unironically does anyone have a solution to high voltages/idle temps until AMD pushes proper bios updates out?
1.4xx voltages are scary and I'm not looking to fry my chip. For now I'm on windows power saver plan and idle is around 1.1V at 39C. Stock heatsink is cool to the touch. The downside is I'm gimping performance in order to stay at a safe voltage range.
Yes I've read the AMD damage control employee posts on leddit but I don't really trust a word he says because he's not an engineer. I'm on a r5 3600.
what kind of cooling should i get for 5700 xt since the stock is not sufficient
arctic something or what

I hate each and every single one of you fags. None of you own a good gpu, that's why you always recommend shit tier cards from shit tier brands because they are 20 bucks cheaper so you can order more hotpockets or another fucking waifu body pillow.
Thomas Walker
SSD are good for gaming but it doesnt look like it makes a difference between SATA M2 or NMvE, so would you recommend me the best 1TB SATA SSD?
In the rentry link it says that >Avoid cheap MODELS ie MSI Armor (Mk2 is ok) or Ventus XS, Gigabyte G1/Wf, ASUS dual, and others which have small heatsinks and low quality fans Is there a tier list of manufacturers/cooler solutions or something anywhere? Looking for a 2060s or possibly a 2070s specifically. Open to recommendations.

In the market for a laptop. Budget is maxed at $1300 but I'd prefer to spend half that. I don't need a blazing fast machine, just something for work and that can handle something like Pubg at 1080p 60hz. Preferably with 16gigs of ram or the ability to add a stick.
This is my ideal laptop amzn.com/B07QXLFLXT/ But I'd rather not spend my entire budget on something that'll likely be offline half the time anyways.
Asher Powell
>Windows 10 reinstall crashed again I'm giving up now.
That's because until the 1080 ti graphics cards were essentially obsolete after 3 or 4 years because of performance gains. The past few years have been devoid of competition and crypto autism inflated prices so everyone is getting jewed at this point.
Previously it was far more economical to get a $3-400 midrange card every few years and still probably holds true. Flagship cards are generally for people with more money than brains.
Gavin Nguyen
>everyone is getting jewed at this point Yeah but that's like asking "lol you should have bought tonnes of apple stock in 1988". 100% Captain Hindsight. Anyone looking for a flagship card for 1440p/144hz isn't going to find a new 1080Ti for

Gabriel Richardson
not for a good long while best bet is 2 console generations from now, since that's when there could be r&d competition to get those big contracts
Jeremiah Cooper
hopefully big navi will put a gun at nvidia's temple but radeon and ngreedia have colluded many times in the past for price fixing so i wouldn't be surprised that they struck a secret deal where radeon gets the console gpu market while they leave ngreedia to keeps the high end desktop gpu market where they'll just release refreshes of refreshes
Nicholas Carter
This. Honestly shelling out for a 2080ti that can't even 4k/144hz is fucking retarded.
You might as well just go 2080 and stick to 1440 / 144.
Fucking sad cause I saved so much money but don't find it worth pulling trigger at these prices.
Brandon Myers
As soon as AMD loses the Playstation/Xbox contracts and has to actually compete with nvidia in the consumer market again.
One fan is rattling and that one is the wrong size. The previous owner replaced the fans with really crappy ones, so I could probably find a better fan on AliExpress even desu. Ordered a 100mm fan to replace the one that is rattling and the wrong size at 85 mm. I had trouble with both of them not spinning though, when in the past it was just one of the fans. Not super keen to replace both but we will see when the 100mm fan arrives.

Selling these spare parts to a guy. Gonna ask for $650. Sound fair? I'd be installing/updating windows 10. Guy wants it for playing iracing which after looking at benches, this thing is Overkill for 1080p.
