I got RGB strips and the spire led from thr r7 1700 but when I use the asrock software for the ab350 pro4 the colors are way off. For example when I select the following: red = it displays purples no colors = it displays blue yellow = it displays "white" green = it displays cyan Strobe (multi colors) = it only displays blue and teal I tried switching the connector on the motherboard but it displays no colors... IDK if its broken or what not but all the RGBs are workign since I can get both purple and teal fine.. AB350 PRO 4

Does it have to be microatx? From what I seen there's a high chance of getting a faulty board, especially with the ab350m pro4 based off reviews on newegg. The atx version of the pro4 however has lesser issues and is $75 and the x370 pro4 at is $90

Depends, some manufacturers like ASRock preload their 1st gen ryzen motherboards with bios updates for ryzen 2. There's also the possibility of getting a board before they started updating for ryzen 2 tho so I would look into newer boards

Well I have a gtx 1060 and I don't plan to do multi gpus for my next upgrade so think I should be fine.

Tbh I knew the new CPUs were coming out but I got a deal for the 1700 for only like $200 so I pulled the trigger.

@seon123 will the different chipsets effect anything regarding gaming or productivity if I have the same clock speeds on both boards?

My ASRock b350 pro4 is arriving today and I just realized that ASRock has an x370 pro4 for the same price of $90 w/o mail in rebate. Is there any glaring differences between the two boards? Based on the pictures they literally look like the same board with same specifications. Btw I have the ryzen 7 1700 and I might oc but not anything higher than 3.8 (since I will not probably not change stock cooler anytime soon).

Enable dsr in shadowplay for 4k so GPU is used more for gaming performance. I would plan to upgrade to a new CPU cuz this set-up is kind unbalanced atm

Really the best one is the cheapest one, i would just get which looks best to you at the cheapest price. Just make sure you dont get "DT" EVGA cards and you should be fine.

neither if you are considering intel. I would wait for coffee lake

I know it might be a drivers issue, but has anyone noticed that vega 64 actually performs WORSE in almost every dx12 application compared to gtx 1080 (according to guru3d data)? I can see why someone would buy a vega 56 since it is actually better than a 1070, but the vega 64 seems kind of pointless... like why would i buy a 450w card over a 1080 which basically performs the same (which will most likely get a price cut?). It seems more of a novelty item tbh

ryzen, especially since you are rendering its a no brainer. BTW tho youcan get a ryzen 7 under 300 i believe if you look around

damn hopefully it gets fixed soon

its the monkey one i saw some in reddit complaining too: 500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

I dont really think this case needs fans. My mom has a passively cooled pc (except PSU) around your size and it runs fine. What are your CPU temps?

if u hav an rx 480 no real reason to go with a 580 or 1060

if I wanted to upgrade my CPU to something newer and better, I wouldhave to cash in $200 on a new motherboard and memory not including the CPU. Like for me example, I have a locked i5 on a locked motherboard and im planning to upgrade... but I have to now buy for at least $400 a newCPU+motherboard+ram. Lets say if I have ryzen, I would only to pay 200 +- for a CPU. If i was budget oriented, investing on ryzen would just be a cheaper investment and I wouldnt have to pinch as much pennies to get a whole new platform

platform is newer and will last longer (haswell motherboards discontinued...) You get newer memory (honestly tho, does it make a difference?), and current ryzen motherboards will last till 2020 (estimating) so u r actually saving a lot of money going with ryzen. Unless there is some extremely particular reason to get a haswell i5 over an r3, ryzen ftw

thats normal, games are beginning to use more cores and threads and i5s dont really have much to offer (4cores/threads(. I have an i5 too and most of the newer cpu intensive games are reaching 100% too with stuttering

tbh for me at least the hype kind of died down a bit after computex basically telling us to wait 2 months but there is still hype. A bit dissapointed that there is a 99.9% chance that AMD has no 1080 ti competitors

ya it aint out yet but they wil show it in a week or so

i would wait for vega first, there will most likely be a variant with similar performance for cheaper

Okay just be careful tho, he might have the card but you wont know until you install if its a doa or not

It does seem a little too good to be true, but if OP ever decides he can always verify irl (that is, if the seller will allow him to )

Yeah I would go on craiglist around your area, for example here is a 1070 for $180 in seattle https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/sop/6212089346.html Make sure if you use craiglists that you go to public places tho
