Hi! I'm a complete noob when it comes to camera. So basically, I know nothing. All I need is a simple camera without too many functions, easy to use, and that takes good pictures. I will mainly using it to take photos on a tripod of objects which I will use for modeling and texturing in Blender. It would be better if the camera can take clear high resolution photos, like 4096x4096. I'm ready to spend 400-500$ on it. What are your suggestions?

I was planing to go with the b350 to save money, but I'll see if I can squeeze a x470 into the budget. Prices are crazy up here in Canada.

So either go with R5 1600/ b350, or R5 2600/ x470, or risk it?

Is a bios update still required for a b350 motherboard for ryzen second gen? Or is a new b350 motherboard (buying soon) already working with ryzen second generation without a bios update?

Good to know. Thanks

So no mention of a release date yet right?

But that's not a mobile cpu. It is used in a gaming laptop, but I'm looking more for a working laptop. Will be doing schoolwork, but also some programming and no gaming on it. So a good GPU isn't needed really.

I haven't follow the news lately. Is there an announcement or a release date for ryzen mobile cpus? I read about the leak (R5 2500U), but no official statements, or even rumored release date. I'm looking to get a new laptop so depending in how long before it's released, I would like to get a ryzen mobile chip. Thanks

If you want to game at 1080p, the gtx 1070 would do just fine. Even 1440p would be fine in most games on the gtx 1070. Although if you can afford the 200$ extra, the 1080 is definitely nice. About 25% faster.

This. Ryzen loves higher Ram clock. The Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz is probably in the cheapest ram you can get with that speed (Ram price are also very high atm). Have to tell you though, more than 3000 Mhz might not be running at advertised speed on ryzen right now because of some ram issues. I have some Vengeance LPX 3200 Mhz C16, and my overclocked R7 1700X doesn't like it that much. The system isn't stable. Downclocking the Ram to 2933 Mhz is stable tho.

With the same motherboard and Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz? Did you just set it to XMP without tweaking anything else?

So even the latest BIOS updates couldn't completely fix the ram issue?

Hi, I'm currently running a ryzen 7 1700X at 3.9Ghz on my asrock fatal1ty x370 gaming k4. I just got some new ram, 16Gb of ram (2x8) Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz. I just updated my motherboard to the latest BIOS. I'm still having trouble actually getting to 3200Mhz on my ram. Sometimes my system loads up, and sometimes it doesn't. Since I'm new to ram OC, i'm not too sure about the settings in the BIOS. I just turned on XMP and left the default timings (16-18-18-something i believe). Question: are there better settings for the ram that would make it stable? Or just I just lower the ram speed? Thanks

mobo: ASRock FATAL1TY X370 Gaming K4 AM4 ATX Motherboard Cpu: Ryzen 7 1700X OC: 3.9Ghz/1.4v Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 premium-grade 120mm tower Software: CPUID HWMonitor

Hello, I was wondering if the 20C temperature offset is still there on the 1700X and 1800X. I'm currently overclocking my 1700X and getting around 79C at 3.9Ghz/1.4V (I'm using CPUID HWMonitor to read the temperature). Is it really 79C? Or is it 59? Thanks in advance.

How loud do they get when you max out the speed? I mean if it's that bad, I could get a 4 pin split cable (cause all my fan slots on my motherboard are loaded), but I already have a thing in which you can connect multiple 3 pin fans and that is connected to the power supply.

Hello, I built my pc recently and have 3 fans on it (2 intake and 1 outtake). They are blue rgb. I was thinking of adding 2 more fans for aesthetics, but also to run my current fans slower to make less noise. So basically, I need 2 blue rgb fans, 1 x 120mm and 1 x 140mm, quiet at full speed (I will be plugin them directly in the power supply, so no fan control). Balanced at static pressure and air flow is fine (best scenario would be air flow for the 120mm since it will be an outake and static pressure for the 140mm since it's going to be an intake). The fans don't need to be overkill, since my system is running cool enough already (like I said, it's more for aesthetics and less noise), so I would prefer something not too expensive over super high overkill fans. What do you guys suggest?

I've heard some bad things about getting windows from site likes these... Are you sure it's 100% legit?

Not particularly. Anything that looks decent and coherent is fine by me. Aesthetics is just a plus for me. The actual performance and price are more important. I'm really easy for looks.

Hello guys. This will be my first time building a pc, so I'm kinda trying to build something good, but also going safe. I plan in buying in 1 or 2 days (if you're looking for deals). 1. Budget and Location I'm living in Canada (and the us dollar exchange rate is now terrible) and I have about 2k budget. I could go to a max of 2200$CAD if necessary. I need to buy a 4k monitor 16:9 60Hz (included in the 2200$CAD budget) 2. Aim My main usage is for gaming, image and video editing (not super pro level), programming, and some 3D modeling (Blender). I would love to be able to go to 4k, but I can also live with graphic settings a bit under max in games (might go to 1440p 60Hz for gaming). Would like to use 4k for image editing, and if possible 3d modeling. 3. Monitors I use 2 monitors and don't plan on adding one any time soon. One monitor is 1920x1080 60Hz and the other should be 3840x2160 60Hz. 4. Peripherals No need to buy a mouse and a keyboard. I also have fairly decent speakers. I will need Windows 10 tho (Home edition). Like I said, this will be my first time building and I just started to learn more about pc in general, so I don't know exactly what exact pieces I really want/need. I think a GTX 1070 will be enough for what I need and I'm hesitating between i7-7700K and Ryzen 7 1700X for the CPU. But for the rest, I don't really know which motherboard would suit me best, what power supply etc. For the case, a nice aesthetic (I love side window) is nice, but the price is more important (would prefer less good looking but better CPU and GPU). Would prefer a full tower though. For cooling, I'm not sure exactly what I need, but I don't plan on overclocking much (maybe a little, or maybe I won't even overclock). Preference for a filter and mechanism for less dust (positive pressure maybe). Anyways, I'm sure you guys are a lot better than at selecting parts Thanks
