    So I'm picking parts for a PC that I'm building for my friend and I settled for a ryzen 3600 and an rx 5700 xt, which I'm going to install in either an Asus b450-f gaming or Msi b450 Tomahawk Max motherboard. My problem is that I don't know if these motherboards support 3600mhz ram for zen 2 CPUs. I checked their Qualified Vendors List and it says that it supports the memory I want (Corsair RGB 16GB, CMW16GX4M2C3600C18), but I've read in some forums that people haven't been able to make their systems run stabily with the same motherboards @3600mhz. Can anyone confirm that these b450 motherboards indeed support 3600mhz memory as the manufacturers state? I trouble with memory support in my old zen 1 PC and I don't want my friend to go through the same nightmare. [link to both motherboards QVL list] - https://imgur.com/gallery/y2M8FEX Thanks

    Allright thanks, but just one more thing whould you recommend a x570 motherboard or a b450/x470 for a ryzen 3600. The latest motherboard is a bit expensive

    How is the ram compatibility? Should I only use QVL(qualified vendors list) ram or can I choose somewhat freely? And do I have to use samsung b die in order to run the ram at 3600mhz?

    So basically a friend of mine is planning to build a gaming pc and I'm picking the parts for him. I have experience when it comes to picking parts and putting them together but I don't know if I should go with a i5 9400f or a i7 9700k. He says he wants a rtx 2070 in his new pc and according to youtube benchmarks it shouldn't get bottlenecked by the i5. However, since this pc is pretty expensive, aprox. 1000$, I should also consider future proofing it. Battlefield 5 is a clear example of a cpu intensive game and the i5 does not perform too well there. He isn't going to play any battlefield games though, but I am suspecting that the i5 will become obselete in the upcoming years. Also, I am sceptical to ryzen because I've had some bad experiences with it. I've also seen people complaining about stuttering and I don't want to deal with that mess. I've done that once before. Tldr: Should I "future proof", or should I go for the i5 because it doesn't bottleneck in most games. Cheers

    So went and downloaded the chipset drivers for my ryzen 1600 which is installed in an Asus B350-prime plus motherboard. When I went over to the windows powerplan settings, instead of seeing "ryzen balanced powerplan", I was instead greeted by "Tryb zrównowazony AMD Ryzen, [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]" and some other nonsense. Should I be worried about this? Could the powerplan itself be corrupted? I have been using it and I have a ton of stuttering in games, even with the default "high performance" powerplan.

    What timings do I set it to then if i set it to 2133MHz or 3000MHz? I want atleast 3000MHz. The whole reason I bought this kit was for the ram speed and the motherboard manufacturer specifically states that it supports up to 3200MHz
  7. Admiré
    Fair enough

    Ok, but the last time I cleared the CMOS it didn't remove the newest version of the BIOS. Did I do something wrong then because it solved my issue with the system not booting up.
  9. Admiré
    You mean clear the CMOS or?

    So I've recently upgraded to 16gb of ram, 2x8, @3200MHz and I'm getting occasional bluescreens and Battlefield 5 crashing to the desktop. I have a ryzen 1600 and an Asus prime B350-mobo. I set the D.O.C.P profile to 3200mhz and the timings are set to 16-18-18-38. When I go to the timings section in the BIOS it says that the cas latency is set to 16, trcdrd:18 trcdwr: 18 DRAM RAS# PRE Time: 18 DRAM RAS# ACT Time: 38 So basically it says 16-18-18-18-38, in that order. Is that set up properly then if it's rated for 16-18-18-38? I ran a memtest with the ram set to both 3200mhz and 3133mhz and I got errors in both of the tests. I'll provide images so you know exactly what I mean. I didn't test to see if battlefield 5 crashed when I set the speed to 3133mhz, but I recon if it got errors in the memtest its still not gonna work. I read somewhere that I should overclock my CPU to make it run @3200MHz stable. Does that sound right or is it just a load of bull? Oh and the ram is: g.skill rip jaws V, 2x8GB @3200MHz This has been driving me nuts, I even tried doing a clean windows install but to no use. Could it be that the system needs to be in UEFI mode only? I don't know, it's just a guess.

    I have a galaxy s8 and I am very happy with it so far. Battery life is a bit worse now since I bought it but it is still WORLDS better than the phone I had before (galaxy alpha). We all know that phone batteries will die eventually and that we need to replace them when this happens. This got me thinking. Can I just keep on replacing the battery of my phone every 2 years or so and just use it for as long as possible? I know that other parts can degrade like the flash memory and the processor, but is it possible to keep the phone working for, lets say 5-6 years? The reason I'm asking isnt just because I'm a greedy bastard, but because I'm so used to seeing people having the same gaming pc for like 7-8 years and it works completely fine. I'm just curious since I'm happy with this phone and I dont see any reason to buy a new one yet.

    Yeah that's nice Thanks for the help!

    Keep in mind that these prices aren't the same for me
