| AM4 Vcore VRM Ratings to help you decide on a mobo for 3rd gen Ryzen Posted: 01 Jul 2019 02:40 AM PDT Heyo everyone, you may know me from such VRM tier lists as this one, and love it or hate it, I hope it's helped people make better decisions when purchasing mobos for Ryzen. But recently every hardware subreddit is getting bombarded with questions about "is my mobo good enough for 3rd gen" or "is xyz AM4 motherboard good for xyz [3rd gen Ryzen] CPU". Obviously you can reply with "oh no one knows, bait for wenchmarks" and sure that's an okay response, but from the material AMD has shown off and with what Buildzoid's been saying in his most recent PCB breakdowns, we can kinda gauge where 3rd gen Ryzen is gunna fit in terms of Vcore current draw and therefore provide some more useful advice to people when deciding on a motherboard for their next gen Ryzen. And so therefore I've created a list that has every single AM4 mobo (that isn't A320) with a recommendation for various current draw ratings that roughly line up with where I think the 3rd gen Ryzen CPUs are gunna fit in at stock and with a maxed out OC. There's also some basic Vcore VRM info for for every motherboard. You can find the list here in spreadsheet form. There's a few things to note/explain about the list:
I'm also working on an updated version of my Vcore VRM tier list that will include X570 and X470/B450 with tiers divided by current draw like in this list, hopefully should have that done in a day or two. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to drop them below. EDIT: Just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who's said thanks or given gold/platinum, really means a lot!

| Found this gem the other day, receipt from my first PC Posted: 01 Jul 2019 11:48 AM PDT Monster PC (for 1997 for a kid spending all his grocery sacking money on anyways) [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 01 Jul 2019 01:53 PM PDT Just finished my first build. A 1080p beast (in the next years it could be upgraded to a higher resolution) I must add that ive ive never built a pc before and this was very fun to do. I watched tons of youtube vids and also read a lot this subreddit. I bought the parts through a couple of months and finally! Its working perfectly. Just a couple of things id like to mention from this experience: To me installing the dark rock pro 4 cooler and connecting the power cables to the MB were the hardest bits of the build (probably due to my noob level), but overall it wasnt a hard task to do The build and setting the thing up took me a total of 7 hours but i took a lot of YT and friend consulting breaks and a couple of beer breaks with the missus I had a gaming pc 15 years ago but never accessed the bios nor anything like that. I must say now i just really pulled the trigger and ive learned so much about pcs. If someone is hesitating about building his own pc, just do it! With all the resources online ANYONE can build a pc of his own without blowing anything up in the process. Now i have to learn how to OC Right now im downloading my first game: Metro trilogy!

| Buy AMD 7 2700 or wait until AMD 5 3600X Posted: 01 Jul 2019 02:51 PM PDT Answered I've been saving my money until July 7th to buy an AMD 5 3600x to accompany my RTX 2080 to stop bottlenecking and have a more stable FPS. But I don't know if older motherboards will support Zen2. So would you guys think it's safer just to go with AMD 7 2700 (it's on sale rn on Amazon for $200) and buy B450 tomahawk motherboard. Or should I just wait until July 7th to find more information what about Zen2? (I was originally going go to get AMD 5 3600X, and a B550 tomahawk but I can't find any info about the B550 or it's release) Edit: Thanks for the fast responses, I've decided to just wait the week and get AMD 5 3600X. Now if I do get the AMD 5 3600x. I just want to know if it will be compatible with older motherboards such B450 or X570. (I know some of you told me in the comments, but I just want to make extra sure) [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| What would happen if I put a incompatible cpu into a motherboard? Would any hardware be damaged? Posted: 01 Jul 2019 02:39 PM PDT So I am trying to do a budget cpu upgrade on a old office rig which had a i7-4790 that I took out. Not 100% sure what the mobo was but am 95% sure I have the right chipset and socket. So my question is that if I buy a cpu and it is incompatible with the motherboard would any hardware be damaged?

| DDR5 RAM - Realistically, how far off are we from it? Posted: 01 Jul 2019 07:24 AM PDT Many websites suggest ddr5 hitting the market in q1 2020, is this reasonable? Curious what the new x570 boards will have for support. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Suggestions for improving my build and cutting cost? Posted: 01 Jul 2019 08:54 AM PDT Setting up my first PC build. I'm located in Canada. I have a budget of $1500 but would like to keep the price of the pc as far below $1300 as possible to leave money for monitor, keyboard, games, etc. I'm waiting til after 7/7 to buy the cpu in case there's good pricing/availability on the 3600 but since I'm in Canada it's not likely. Hoping to build one that can run AAA games at 1080p 144hz at high settings over 60fps. I'm also planning a dual monitor setup: one 1440p 144hz and one 1080p 60hz. Suggestions on a 1440p monitor are also welcome. Thanks!

| CPU air cooler | case exhausts on top Posted: 01 Jul 2019 12:44 PM PDT Are fans good positioned like this? As you can see I have 1 exhaust at rear, 2 exhausts at top, 1 intake at bottom and 3 intakes at front. Would the second top exhaust conflict with the CPU cooler fan being this close and maybe "stealing" airflow? Temperatures are good but I am curious since the rear and first top fans exhaust hot air while the second top exhuast exhuasts only warm air [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Can a PC be near the bathroom door? Posted: 01 Jul 2019 06:35 AM PDT My partner is freaking out about this. We have the IKEA MALM desk with a pull out smaller desk - so the PC is covered by the desk on the right (which is closer to the door), front and top. The PC is under the desk and about 1 - 2ft away from the bathroom door but we have a powerful extraction fan. Opinions? He's worried about steam/moisture getting to the PC.

| Posted: 01 Jul 2019 03:35 PM PDT I'm trying to decide between the S2716DGF (300) and Nixeus EDG 27 V2 (400). I'm also open to suggestions between those two price points, are not curved, and have freesync. My build will have a Vega 56 and a ryzen 3000 processor. I'm aware that the Vega won't completely max out this kind of monitor but I'm okay with tuning the settings. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 01 Jul 2019 05:32 AM PDT My main rig has gone under quite the transformation. I replaced my main boot drive with an SSD, replaced the case fans with two brand new fans, and have just moved in to one of the most expensive parts in my build: The graphics card. Now, The card I decided on is a Gigabyte Gaming RX 570 with 8GB of Vram. This card was chosen after about a month of consideration and will be replacing my Asus GTX 750Ti. The question is: how much of a performance increase will I see in games like Overwatch, and Destiny 2? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Upgrade Time - looking for some advice on today's PC market Posted: 01 Jul 2019 04:37 PM PDT Hello all, it's upgrade season for me. I imagine like many others in my position, I have not been tuned into the PC market of 2019. I would like some advice from the well informed individuals of r/buildapc so I can get pointed in the right direction. This is my build from 2014: PCPartPicker Part List
My goals:
I'm not sure how reasonable meeting all these goals are in today's market, which is why I'm asking you all. My instincts are to replace the GPU first, then CPU if needed, and throw in some more RAM for good measure. But what would your strategy be? Thank you anyone for advice!

| Posted: 01 Jul 2019 04:31 PM PDT I just upgraded from a 780ti and want to build a second pc for my girlfriend around it for as cheap as possible. Are there resources to help? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When will X570 motherboards be out? Posted: 01 Jul 2019 04:28 PM PDT Hello, so I want to buy an X570 motherboard for the Ryzen 9 3900x that's coming out, but I'm not seeing any release dates for any of the X570 motherboards?

| Good idea to get a 1660 Ti right now? Posted: 01 Jul 2019 04:23 PM PDT Returned my defective 1660 and am now looking at getting a 1660 Ti. I'd like to get it today or tomorrow, but at the same time, a bunch of things are being released in the coming weeks. If I buy from EVGA off of Amazon ($310), will I be protected if a price drop occurs? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| First time builder, no idea how/what the cables are or how they connect Posted: 01 Jul 2019 01:53 PM PDT Hello I recently bought my first pc components and realized once I had put all the hardware in my case I had 0 idea how any of the cables from the PSU connect to the motherboard and vice versa. I have these components: Intel i7-8700 MSI z390 gaming edge AC Corsair H100i rgb platinum cpu cooler Corsair Vengeance 16gb rgb RAM WD 500gb SATA M.2 SSD WD 500gb 2.5" SSD Corsair CX650M PSU 80+Bronze Gigabyte Windforce GeForce GTX1070 And I'm using a Corsair Crystal 570X case I've tried looking at the motherboard manual and power supply manual but once again I'm completely new and have no idea what some of these cables are used for as well as no idea where they connect and which cables are extra. I have tried YouTube, Corsair forum, and even a Toms hardware forum but it's like reading another language. Please if anyone has some beginner advice I really need the help. Thank you!

| Cheap starter build for my buddy only sourcing from Amazon Posted: 01 Jul 2019 03:59 PM PDT Build Help/Ready:What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. My buddy has been playing mostly Rocket League and DOTA2 on his laptop from 2009. I've been talking to him about building his own for years now, and he finally caved. He got a $500 gift card to Amazon and challenged me to come up with a build that could play those games on "better than n64 graphics." If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? Honestly just 1080p for Rocket League Medium+ settings. He's not picky and not very interested in new games outside of the occasional CCG or DOTA autochess. What is your budget? $500 including monitor and kb+m, but it's a little flexible. In what country are you purchasing your parts? US - Amazon.com only Post a draft of your potential build here.
Provide any additional details you wish below. My thought process is to start him with a Ryzen 3 2200G so he can take advantage of the Vega graphics until he's ready to buy a dedicated GPU. I'm not too worried about discussing monitor/peripherals unless there's anything interesting on buying these things from Amazon. I'm more curious for everyone's thoughts on the Ryzen 3 2200G as a starter decision. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Combining RAM sticks with different CAS latencies Posted: 01 Jul 2019 12:58 PM PDT Hi, I have a black and white themed PC, currently running these RAM sticks in dual channel: I'd like to add two of these to them: Is it a bad idea? Will it run, or will I get myself in trouble? Thanks for your advice. [link] [comments]  |
