brilliant im about to press buy on a prime board and a 2600 any memory recommendations looking at corsair vengeance 3000mhz don't really want to break the bank on ram this comes in at £170

hello i am looking to do a build and not sure which mobo to go for i was set on msi gaming pro carbon x470 but i've have been told that its no good but not sure why and to go for asus prime pro x470 anyone explain why this might be are msi boards still as bad as they used to be?

what makes you think this spec wise they are similar apart from the built in wifi on the msi?

i can do overclocking and fully intend to overclock memory dimms just dont do alot of it lol i overclocked the crap out of this 8530 to 4.9ghz 1.4w a few times but its showing its age now so iv backed it off for about a year. I will definitely be pushing the ryzen as far as I can.

so attached is my planned build i'm upgrading from an fx8350 build and my budget hit around £450 to £500 i think this is all going to be fine i think i dont do alot of overclocking. using more for gaming and running vm machines for ethical hacking. i like to multi task though

ok I think ill stick with the 2600 then was going to go for the 2600x but so far it seems there is minimal improvement once overclocked and its an extra £30-£40 so not going to bother.

hello i am looking to do a build and not sure which cpu to go for im currently looking at a ryzen 2600 with an msi x470 pro motherboard and corsair ram however it seems the ryzen 1600x is £10 less and has higher tdp and clock speed over the 2600 any advice I cannot find comparison benchmark reviews for these two cpus anyware. Obviously the 2600 has newer specs but is it going to be faster than the 1600x with a slight overclock? looking to purchase tomorrow so a quick response is appreciated especially if someone has tested this.

VRMS is exactly where I'm having the problem at the moment averaging between 80 at idle and top 90s under load even at stock have changed thermal pads on heatsink and still cooking so I think this might be the way forward

I have had a look through so far iv found the Asus 970 pro gaming aura i think i might get. Struggled to find many of the others still for sale. Even the sabertooth didn't have many retailers. I guess there all hitting end of line now with am4 sockets out. If anyone knows of anything else that can actually still be found lol. Any help is Great.

Where you water cooling? This seems to be a major issue with am3 series not being designed for it so much Yh might have been an idea if I'd mentioned that lol. I am running the msi 970 gaming I don't think it's designed well for passive cooling. Will have a look at the few you mentioned. To be quite honest I'd settle for decent temps at stock cpu. Have to say I dropped to 6 cores today and that took it down slightly but still quite poor temps however core never reaches over 45 under load so that's working lol. I have been looking on eBay and will continue as it seems the most appropriate boards are the top end of £100 almost £200

I live in england and budget is as cheap as poss otherwise its nearly half a £400-£500 ryzen build. I am running a 360 radiator on cpu im gussing ssd is heating up as its mounted on back of mobo tray. Its the vram or northbridge or both (temp 3 on speed fan) I have push pull on radiator so 6 fans and 1 exaust next to I/O am thinking of putting in a second but want to run almost whisper quiet when not under load. I think it is mobo hence why im asking if anyone has had this problem and if they found a reasonable -£100 mobo that can cope with stock and hopefully some overclock.

build msi 970 g series mobo fx 8350 8 core black 16gb corsair vengence ddr3 ram I am currently having problems with thermal limitations on my mobo causing games to crash and hdds to get rather toasty (60+celcius). Aparently this is common with msi 970 and fx series processors (even underclocked. At stock still running at 90-100 celcius under load). I have been looking at upgrading to ryzen series however this is a large expense even for the ryzen 3 and basic components, Not to mention the ryzen 3 barley scrapes the 8350. Is there a mobo out there that is suited better to these chips with an overclock that isnt going to cost me half a ryzen build or turn my pc into an easy bake oven? while i save for a better build.

Went for the fractal define c it arrived today and so far looks awesome will be starting build on Monday.

Yup that seems to be what I'm leaning to but due to being new to water cooling fans seem to be more important there than air cooled so not having much knowledge on these other than corsair sp fans I was hoping to hear other people's preferences on noise and performance and go from there

I have looked at these but on Amazon they seem to be more expensive than the corsair.
