UPDATE: Reinstalled Ryzen Master, now a tab "Average Core Voltage" appeared and voltages are now dropping under 1V at idle. Also task manager isnt stuck at CPU Speed at 4.12GHz anymore. I guess everything was just bugged. Scores in cinebench r15 do match what other people are getting. I guess everything fixed itself now.

Aida64 pushes it to 93C, clocks are around 3.95-4GHz. Also ambient temp is around 25-27C Just found this thread, I have never seen voltage this low. All of his Voltage control settings look a bit different tho?

Hello, just recently i built a new PC, with a Ryzen 3600 and MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX, everything works, no hiccups so far. The only thing that seems wierd to me, are voltages, especially at idle. Mine do not drop below 1.34V. I have set the minimum processor state in power plan settings, to 5%, tried 1% also, but no change in voltages, but clocks do drop to around 200MHz. Ryzen master says that at desktop doing nothing, all 6 cores are "sleeping" but voltages are still at 1.34V. I have read online that at idle, voltages should drop below 1.2V. My temperatures atm, when writing this post with 4 tabs of chrome open, are hovering around 45C, while gaming, atleast in BF5 it hovers around 80-90C ( im using the stock cooler, the wraith steath). Is this something I should be worried about, or is this completely normal for Zen 2? BIOS has been updated to the latest one, so have the chipset drivers.

Hello, im buying a new computer with a 3rd gen ryzen, and I dont know if this motherboard Asus TUF B450-Plus Gaming supports updating BIOS without a CPU. On the website it says it has BIOS Flashback, does that mean that updating BIOS without a CPU is possible? Thanks for the info

Will do as someone already suggested, is there any difference between a 1660 and 590? Reputable brands such as Gigabyte,MSI, are atleast 50 EUR more over the Sapphire 590.

Does this apply only for USA or Europe aswell?

Im ordering online.

Yes it is the a400, thanks for the heads up

This builds costs 790EUR, just under my 800-850 EUR mark where I want it to be. I dont know where i will order, maybe from Austria or my home country where prices are a little bit higher, its left to be decided (the same build costs around 50EUR more when shopping here). Main use is at this moment strictly gaming, later down the road, probably something productive, as this is for my younger brother, which currently does not do any productivity.

Hello, I am planning a computer to build this summer, this is where i left it at: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX black 16GB 3000MHzStorage: Kingston 480gb ssdVideo Card: Sapphire RX 590 NITRO+Case: Thermaltake Versa J22Power Supply: be quiet! System Power 9 600W I am pretty happy with where i got it, the only two questions I have are, is the 590 worth around 40EUR more over the 580? This 590 currenlty costs 230EUR. How is the motherboard VRM quality, I have read somewhere that Gigabyte and Asus dissapointed in this department and the MSI Tomahawk B450 is much better in terms of VRM quality, how is with updating the BIOS to the latest one for 3rd gen on these B450 boards without a 2nd or 1st gen CPU? Thanks for the help!

Wouldn't it be better if he tried to get an i7 2600 or i7 3770? Maybe even K's? I had an i5 3450 paired with an r9 380 OC'ed, and in Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG, GTA V, my CPU was at 100% for most of the time. Swapped it with the i7 2600 and difference was quite big, especially in PUBG i got around 15+ fps. Now in battlefield 5, my i7 is almost 95% of the time at 95-100% usage. Based on my experience it would be a better choice just because of HT. Anyone got a different opinion?

Thanks for the help, its 40$ cheaper than other boards and i get an i5-3470 with it so I will pull the trigger. Thanks for your help!

Yes that is what im planning to do, 400MHz OC and a bit od BCLK. Would the SE board be good enough for that?

Hello, im looking to upgrade my h77 board to a board that supports changing the multiplier as I want to squeze as much as i can out of my i7-2600. On eBay i found AsRock P67 PRO3 SE for cheap, but I cannot find any info on what is its difference to the AsRock P67 PRO3. Does anyone have any info?

Hmmm, even at 5GHz the 9900k does not go beyond 300W? thanks for your help, we'll try to find one that has one, on the tier list i just noticed that exists, but if we cant (it has to be available in our country) we'll settle for the one you linked. Thanks Just noticed this exists, searching for one on there now. Thanks!

Superb, do you happen to know if this one has the 8 pin and 4 pin connectors for the CPU power? He is using Z390 AORUS ELITE and he needs both so he can OC.

Hello, my friend wants to know, if he needs a new/better PSU because he just upgraded to an i9 9900k from an i5 7600k paired with a 1080ti. He currently uses a Cooler Master b500. From what we have read online, he will probably need a better one if he wants to hit the 5GHz mark on the CPU, but there was no definitive answer. What type of PSU would you recommend? Budget is 100EUR. Thanks in advance.

would you happen to know where Virtual Box saves files from a Virtual Machine? I need the files that were on a virtual machine. /VirtualBox VMs does not have VDI inside, any other way i can find the VDI file?

My bad, thought I had windows on this drive. Connected the other SSD and boom, all the files appeared. Thanks for the tip tho.

Hello, so today, after 6 years my samsung SSD doesnt boot into windows anymore. The SSD gets recognized, i connected it to another PC like how you would connect an external drive. Like that SSD shows up, but I can only see the Steam Library, so all other windows files, documents etc. are gone. How can i access the files? Is it possible that only windows files are corrupted and the disk is okay?

Got the i7 2600, everything works much better! It turbo boosts to 4gHz, shame i cant OC, it never goes over 52C, but oh well. Thanks for the help!

Checked for BIOS updates, the update i would have to get is in BETA from 2013, so I doubt i will update to that...

Realized that by looking at benchmarks, the only thing now, is the 3770 worth ~50$ over the 2600? I can get the 2600 today for around 60$ because its near me, but on ebay i can order the 3770 for 125 shipped to my house. Thats the only thing keeping me away of buying one of them now. What about an i5 3570? Looking at benchmarks it beats the i7 2600

So an i7 2600 would be a noticable increase in performance over the i5 3450? I dont really want to go spend ~70$ and then notice little to no difference

But the i7 2600 and i7 3770 have the same amount of cores and threads?.. 3770 is only 0.10gHz faster
