I feel a good cooler/AIO will solve any issue with case or at least try to. I like the Elite very much too but they dumb to add glass in front instead of mesh. What a waste. ?

Guest Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Okay so far: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) x2 Crucial P1 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Current SSDs/HDDs will connect Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX but want to try DeepCool's Castle 360EX. It looks so good. Case - 1 of these. Any changes / suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDofWar_skr Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 1 hour ago, Joe Cool said: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX IMO B450M tomahawk max would be a better choice since there is a key difference between the normal and the 'M' version, which is that the b450m has an additional M.2 slot instead of the PCIe lane.. Which I feel is far more useful than a PCIe lane since dual GPUs are not that feasible these days.. I have the b450m tomahawk non max version and using it with the 3600. Just had to flash the bios which was easy since it can be done without even installing a CPU. Currently using a 500gb 970 evo in the faster M.2 slot. But later I have plans to add another NVMe 2TB in the second M.2 slot when I find a cheap one in some sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yours failing twice sucks. I'll check on MSI further I guess. Thanks. ? The Intel boards are stupid expensive. So thinking to try AMD first time. MSI RMA was competent - reddit says not anymore in India I had MSI GFX card before had to rma - received upgraded stuff back in 1.5 months. mostly okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a guy who does very good in-depth analysis of motherboard VRMs on youtube - Actually hardcore overclocking or something.. He rates MSI b450 boards the highest only bcos of the VRMs and heat sinks Edited September 29, 2020 by goDofWar_skr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanjosh Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 What fps are you targeting? If 60 fps then I think you can go for a lower one like 3600. If 144 fps then yes go for 3700x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get 3700x if you have the budget, otherwise the 3600. afaik 3700x still costs 28.5k, 3600 meanwhile has shot from 15k something to 18.5k now because of corona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 No difference in gaming with 3600 vs 3700x. ~1% loss at 1080p and 0% at 1440p and beyond. 3700X has more cores (6 v 8) and threads (12 v 16) compared to 3600. This helps with running concurrent applications. If you plan to stream regularly, go with 3700x; else stick with 3600. New AMD CPUs will be announced in 2 weeks. If not in a hurry, you should considering waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR10 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 So I am upgrading my PC to a Ryzen based build and the only components that I will be retaining would be HDD and SSD. If that is the case before installing the new parts do I need to completely get rid of my mobo drivers or better yet do a complete format of my OS drive ?

amigoatul Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Need your suggestions for a 1L gaming rig build for my friend. He seems to be leaning on the i5 side, but i suggested him to go for Ryzen series. Also he is considering getting a GTX 2060 Super....but i heard the newer 3000 series are cheaper...are they available yet. Please share your inputs..
