is there anyone here who is having issues with 860 Evo + Ryzen 3000? Since the day I built my new machine the 860 Evo kept freezing on me randomly for 5 seconds every once in a while, goes without saying that playing games on it is an impossible task. All my other drives work fine though including the Crucial SSD. Should I RMA the 860 Evo? I had it for a year on my Intel machine and it worked flawlessly there.

Now that reviewers say 5700xt is shit because of drivers what do I buy?
Jeremiah Campbell
July 8 - [ ] Could anybody help me with my 8700k. I bought it as sold as seen and it was seen to be working in the intel diagnostic test with all cores and threads enabled running at stock, but with svid Set to worst case scenario. So when I put it into my motherboard to replace my i5 it ran fine at stock, but as soon as I changed some of the settings in the bios it wouldn’t get into windows at all, and would blue screen constantly. After a little while of tinkering I can get it to run fine at 2ghz all core and 4.8ghz 4 core(had to disable two cores).Heat or power supply isn’t an issue so not sure what the problem is.
buy AMD, ignore all the FUD that nvidia shills are putting out, do you really care what payed shills tell you?

5700 and the 5700xt aren't midrange dude. At least for me.

Evan Jackson
afaik the only boards with thunderbolt on X570 are mITX. But I'm guessing you knew that already and was gatching that user. There should be PCIe 4.0 thunderbolt cards coming "soon".
You can contact Samsung support, and afaik they'll blame AMD's SATA controller on the chipset, even though it's literally only a problem with some Samsung SSDs and no others on AMD. They'll say to use an Intel or SATA ACHI controller... but the AMD chipset controller *is* SATA ACHI. Buying a PCIe sata controller card might make it work. Idk. Also try >In device manager, find >"AMD SATA controller" >Right click - properties - driver... Choose "Rollback Driver" This should uninstall the AMD Chipset driver and install a basic Microsoft driver, which might work.
1080ti is upper-midrange now.

if 5700xt is less than 50$ cheaper than 2070s then buy 2070s if not buy 5700xt

How are asus motherboards?

Are you actually dense or what
Carter Wright
did that, it is already the Microsoft driver. I think it is time for me to use the German return policy. Too bad I threw the box out though but I think I will exchange it for another Crucial MX SSD, I won't even ask for the price difference.

>1080ti is upper-midrange now TFW I'm a fucking poor fag. What's fucking high range? A card that plays games at 100+ 4K.
Blake Smith
from what I've heard, the only real driver problem is overclocking, which barely gives you any performance with modern GPUs anyways and will likely get fixed in a couple of weeks.
Anthony Hill
>literally only a problem with some Samsung SSDs and no others on AMD. Wow how widespread is that shit? I'm about to get a 3600 and a 860

Sorry if this is off-topic but I couldn't find another thread to ask this in. The monitor I used for my secondary died, I've never owned a TV before but I'm thinking of buying the 'TCL 40S325 40 Inch 1080p Smart LED TV'. I will mostly be using it as a secondary display, but want the option to use it as a primary to watch movies on. Tech retard here if it wasn't obvious.
Hudson Sullivan
Friendly reminder to report the blatant spam and bait posts.
>A card that plays games at 100+ 4K. No card does that without upscaling, except stuff like CSGO.
Cameron Jenkins
Forgot to finish my question: Is there any downside to this? I've read that the resolution might make the text and shit fuzzy, would that mean I won't be able to play HD movies and streams from my PC onto the display?
>dual rank >not quad rank Get the fuck out of my thread.
Bentley Wilson
I don't think consumer quad-rank exists
John Watson
Chipset driver is all. CPUs aren't like GPUs with needing all the software to run other software.
They probably have like 10 left or some shit at this point and had already listed them at their lowest prices in the past. Maybe black friday, they'll put them on sale again.
Source for remaining microcode problems?
>So why do people blow cash to play shit at 60fps? They don't..? a 1440p@75 build only costs like $1000-1100 with monitor included. Unless you considering that a lot.
>Maybe black friday, they'll put them on sale again Black Friday has been a scam in Europe for the past two or three years. Retailers just don't care about clearing inventory, even with the incoming 5700/XT partner models that ridicule the Vega cards at a cheaper or equivalent price.
Isaiah Butler
I see better deals generally just pop up throughout the year at random shop sales tbqh. just gotta look out

You're effectively QR if you're running DR across two channels but have fun finding a board with adequate sig.

I meant 4k 60fps. I'd prefer 1080p 144hz over 4K 60 any day.
Levi Adams
Upgrading from a really old intel system. I've run into way too many incompatibilities so far, so now I ask you guys: pcpartpicker.com/list/BDYHV6 Is this a functional system (specifically for linux)? I can buy from microcenter, so the BIOS is already updated for Ryzen 3000. But I would like to know if there's anything glaringly stupid about it. PS- It's old enough that I have to update the mobo, RAM, CPU, and GPU pretty much all at once. Budget Is around $500 to 600 for the mobo, CPU, and RAM.
Blake Williams
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE 5700 AIB'S ITS MID AUGUST REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Leo Hernandez
if amd had released a 5800 and 5900 nvidia would be in trouble but they didn't
Hudson Rogers
It's 30 bucks for a reason user. Most stuff that's significantly better cost twice the money.
Blower V56s are dirt cheap. But I returned a Strixx because the noise was heinous and RMA'd a Pulse for grinding fan; nevermind that the fan control for some reason was shit and had no temp target feature. Kinda tired of buying the same shit over and over again. At least they sent the XBox codes... even after I returned the product.
half of this thread has been literally discussing them wait one week
Oliver Brown
just ordered the 3700x, so it begins other parts in the next few days, buliding in a couple of weeks wish me luck
Ian Turner
>Blower V56s are dirt cheap. I wouldn't call forty dollars under a 5700 non-xt "dirt cheap." Now, eighty dollars less than a 5700 non-xt, that I can get behind.
Michael Nguyen
So finally my mobo, RAM and CPU is here. I updated the BIOS to the latest avaliable one btw.
My specs are pretty much >3700X with stock cooler for now >X470 Taichi I think I should have gone for the Ultimate for the 10G and futureproof, but when that is actually needed, the PCIe will be less than 50€ I guess. >3600@18 4x8GB CMK16GX4M2B3600C18 I installed the latest Windows 10 Enterprise (not LTSC) because it should perform a little bit better with Zen 2, and it isn't that much bloated and I should be able to remove some stuff.
So I went and tried to use DRAM Calculator for Ryzen but the fast preset wanted me to do 3733@14, which didn't boot at all, and the safe one 3733@16, which I still need to test. Also, I tried the stock cooler and didn't touch the OC settings for the CPU, all is left to auto, should I tweak anything there? I just tried to use the CPU Z's stress test to quickly check the clocks, and it went to just 4,1GHz.
So the new 5700 are coming out next week right? Is there any chance they'll be at the 300€ prince range in Europe or is it just an american thing?
Michael Ortiz
buying a new pc soon do i need to worry about upgrading my CPU later they're all so powerful these days i feel like you could keep one for ten years

No one in this thread besides you ever said quad rank means quad channels. Are you genuinely mentally retarded? Like sub-90 IQ?

BLACK FRIDAY in europe is 5% off pencils at a pc store, no joke.
How's the 5700xt on linux I was reading a week ago that it isn't plug and play yet but that was a week ago have things changed?
Jason Reyes

Xavier Fisher

Lucas Roberts
>I wouldn't call forty dollars under a 5700 non-xt "dirt cheap." In Europe user. Seen blower based V56s for as low as 220€ or thereabouts. Obviously little point if you don't intend to replace the stock cooler, unless you really need/want a blower.
Joshua Evans
5700xt beats the 2070 in MHW though...
Dominic Perry
>NOOOOO you can't benchmark at 1080 how the table have turned
Is there any reason to get the rx 580 instead of the rx 590, if i want to play at 1080p60fps?
Charles Ward
Price. The 590 isn't significantly faster. If they're close enough in price, pick the 590... or the 1660. If they're not, make yourself a favour and pick a 580.
