The Msi B450M Mortar Max looks nice. Also has better Audio out options. Anyone using that? MSI generally receives a lot of flak for crappy after sales support. Almost everyone in Reddit has had bad experience with MSI. Although, I've heard that they've changed their service partner and that things have gotten better recently. I'd recommend that you check this up before you decide. Gigabyte has a reddit rep who is pretty active and very helpful in getting things resolved. So the brand has a lot of positive feedback. ASRock's got a pretty neutral rep. I haven't heard anything bad about it per se. Edited December 5, 2019 by l33tmaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Dante Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 In India, I believe, ASUS has the best after sales service, followed by Gigabyte. But, sadly Asus B450 boards ain't as good as the other manufacturer counterparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I had recently ordered the Ryzen 2700 with Corsair Ram from US, and it would be arriving in a couple of months. Need to get a decent motherboard (4-6k range), that is reliable and one that will support minor overclocking and nVME SSDs. Hopefully the ASRock would be good. Also, can someone recommend me a nice looking cabinet (in the 2.5-3.5k range), that's big enough for ATX boards, with space to support CPU coolers (like Hyper212), and high-end cards. USB 3.1 front panel would be a plus. https://mdcomputers.in/cooler-master-masterbox-mb511-mcb-b511d-kann-s00.html 10 hours ago, Aftrunner said: The Aorus pro is beyond my budget and I feel like Asrock B450 Pro4 might be a little under my budget.

Although I had ordered the Max one, the seller screwed up and delivered the non-max version.. Still waiting for the R5 3600 to arrive after which I can try out that mobo.. 1 hour ago, Ram Dante said: Stretch a bit more and get the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max. It should be around 9.5k. Tomahawk & Mortar are basically the same stuff.. Just ATX vs mATX Also you get 2 M.2 slots with the Mortar but it lacks the heatsink on the SoC VRM which is not a big deal if you don't plan to use any of those APUs..

This one seems good. Would you know if this model will look like MB511RGB, if we add the RGB fans to the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you know if this model will look like MB511RGB, if we add the RGB fans to the front? I guess it should. The front 3 fans seem to be standard 3x120mm or 2x140mm if I am not wrong. So it should look similar to the RGB model if you choose to install those fans. That being said, it would make sense if you already have RGB fans. If not, might be cheaper to go for the RGB model instead of getting this and then opting for 3 RGB fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Quick update for anyone who is interested. Got the Asrock B450 Pro4 and its actually pretty good. Well spaced layout. Plenty of fan and SATA connections. Easy to build in as well. Also worked pretty smoothly with the XMP profiles for my RAM as well. No real complaints. Fairly decent board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did you try overclocking the CPU? How much were you able to achieve? Edited December 23, 2019 by Ram Dante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent tried to overclock. I will probably get a better CPU cooler before I even attempt that. For now anyway, I dont need to, cause the CPU is not really lagging behind.

That GPU (depending on your CPU) could do 144hz on CSGO/Dota/Rocket League. Maybe Apex and PUBG if you turned down the settings a lot. But really, a 144hz monitor would be wasted on that GPU.

SonicDave Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) I need to assemble a pc for a friend mainly for 1080p video editing works (little to no gaming). Max budget is 90k. Need thoughts and opinions from people in the same profession. 1. The GPU. I'm thinking of getting the RX 570 4GB for 11k or so. The other option is the GTX 1650. I have no idea about their performance on video editing softwares like Adobe's. Read that Cuda should be preferred. How legit is this claim? And what % difference does it have from AMD's? Getting the Zotac GTX 1650 Super 4GB. 2. Friend wants the Samsung Nvme 970 Evo Plus SSD. The motherboard which I chose is the Gigabyte B450M DS3H. Would like someone to confirm that the motherboard supports this Nvme without any issue. For your convenience here is the link of the motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/in/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-rev-10/sp#sp It is compatible. The CPU will be R5 3600. 3. The RAM. Would 16GB suffice or will he need 32GB? Planning of getting a standard Corsair LPX 3000MHz/3200MHz. Would timing affect the performance? Absolutely no cpu OC'ing. 4. Hard disk for media storage. Planning to get two of WD 1TB EZEX 7200RPM than other cheaper but slower 2TB variants. 5. Keyboard: what mechanical switches do you guys feel that he will like it? He has never used a mechanical keyboard before. I wanted to order the TVS but apparently TVS has stopped producing them with Cherry MX keys. Now only Long Hua. I'm thinking CM Pro L white led (comes in blue, red and brown iirc). Can't find the brown anywhere anymore. 6. PSU: the tried and tested Seasonic S12II 529/620. M models are out of stock. I don't know about the OEM's of other PSU's. Another option: Corsair RM650 for 9k. Apparently this is a cwt model with Chinese stuff somewhere. 7. Mouse: Steelseries Rival. 8. CPU cooler: has anyone used any new air cooler? Absolutely no water cooler. Only air. Please understand that I don't want to buy something which he doesn't/won't need. I'd rather have him invest in more important components. Looking forward to your answers. Thanks.
