    DocSwag reacted to porina in Ram incompatibility? 3700x won't post   
    Have same mobo. Worked fine when I dropped in a 3600 replacing 2600 in it. Then on bios 3.30, although that bios didn't allow my high speed ram to work (ok at 3000). The newer 3.40 bios I have had ram running at 3600 and 4000.
     
    When you first swap it, it can take some time to detect and setup the new CPU before booting, so try leaving it a bit longer. If you want to be safe, try it with the slower ram in first.

    Did you uninstall the Intel graphics drivers with DDU?

    Then you won't need it. Just stick with the drives you have. Also are you planning on overclocking? If not I'd hold off on buying that AIO and just use the AMD stock cooler. and put the money towards buying a better GPU. The 2080 Super releases soon, maybe wait and check out the price and performance of that.

    DocSwag reacted to Windows7ge in Power up switch with my pc psu?   
    1. Yep.
    2. Potential fire hazard if done incorrectly. Not to mention every time you turn off your computer it'll lose power too.
    3. That's why power strips exist. Cluttered areas can be cleaned.

    DocSwag got a reaction from Lurick in Power up switch with my pc psu?   
    It would not work because your switch needs 100-240V AC input, whereas your PSU outputs 12V, 5V, or 3.3V DC. At any rate, why would you want to do that?

    Get an IPS.

    DocSwag reacted to Jurrunio in ram speeds confusion   
    It just means more than 2666 is considered an overclock. You can overclock memory on chipsets that support overclocking regardless of CPU support on both Intel and AMD Ryzen

    DocSwag reacted to Jurrunio in help with new build plan (ryzen)   
    best board for overclocking you can get for your budget for now is the MSI B450 Carbon AC, which conveniently has a bios flashback button in the rear I/O which allows flashing the bios through usb without a compatible CPU (or no CPU at all). With the B450-F, your only option is to get AMD's bootkit, basically a free CPU you have to send back for the bios update.

    Drivers wouldn't affect a GPU if the problem appears before Windows even loads.

    DocSwag reacted to Herman Mcpootis in Advice for a budget build for a friend   
    A new 2200G rig would have been better for less. You can get a ram kit with the same clock speed and capacity BNIB for even cheaper.

    DocSwag got a reaction from TopHatProductions115 in AMD Moving Further Away from Multi-GPU; RX Vega Won't be Getting 3 or 4 way Support   
    Source: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3227907/components-graphics/radeon-rx-vega-no-4-way-crossfire-games.html
    This isn't completely unexpected but still somewhat of a surprise nonetheless. It's been known AMD has been distancing itself from crossfire for a while, with them saying they're moving away from crossfire during the vega launch and then not enabling crossfire, or should I say mGPU, on vega at all until just a few days ago, but this still comes as somewhat of a surprise given that just a year ago AMD was pushing crossfire pretty heavily. One of their first Polaris 10 demos was of rx 480 CF against a gtx 1080. And now, just a year later, they're dropping 3 and 4 way support and de-emphasizing 2 way.
     
    The trend was started by Nvidia last year with Pascal but I don't think we were all expecting AMD to follow in Nvidia's footsteps.

    DocSwag reacted to Snipergod87 in How to make my desktop PC mobile.   
    Not really feasible, even if you got the size small enough, you would need some sort of power source to power it (like on a bus you would need a battery, and inverter), and if you want your laptop to connect to it, it would need to allow video input, 99% of laptops only allow output, unless you want to do a local connection in which you would connect to a broadcasting wifi network from your desktop and control it through RDP or something.
