  1. Thanks, I watched the GN video first which had me a bit in doubt. I am probably thinking of the b550 strix with wifi or the space for wifi , love my asrock board but the rgb and fan control software sucks so much and I should try other brands. Thank you!
  2. Ok! this clears it more, I thought the offset was the only possible option with the new brackets ,and that the standard way was with the rev2 mount. Perfect. Thank you!
  3. Thanks, so a installation using the offset would be ok? Since I want to open my options to other boards, I thought that sometimes the offset would hit or block m2 heatsinks on some boards.
  4. Hello, so I currently have a b350 board , Asrock fatal1ty and a 3600x, its been so far so good but now I want to upgrade so I can use spare parts to build a spare pc. I have been wanting to move to an AIO , since the cooler I have (h5 ultimate) has been disappointing (50 to 55C idle, 80C high). and installing it has been a nightmare on the meshify C case since installing it when the mobo is in the case is hard since the back-plate is loose, and installing it outside the case is horrible when placing the mobo with cooler inside so I want to move to an AIO since in theory it seems easier, its a small plate, easy to screw in and good temps and nice looks. My issue is, before I was able to buy the Arctic Freezer II and the new mobo I read about the mounting issues, and so far I know that some Asus strix boards have issues with the mounting where brackets touch the mountings and everything. In my search I don't have an idea how to know which boards will have this issue, I had in my sights the X570 or B550 from Asrock, the steel legend one. And with the pictures i think that the brackets wont block anything on those 2 but no idea since I Have no measures. Anyone with the arctic freezer ii Rev 3 can share photos or knows which boards wouldnt have issues.
  5. So, I have an Ikea Alex desk (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/alex-desk-white-40260717/) which is nice , however it has this little issue where it is too thick to install a monitor arm with C clamp, However Ikea sells this : https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/alex-add-on-unit-white-20260718/ which fits nicely over my desk, and I Could use it over my desk, question is, would it be safe to use a c clamp in the addon I showed? if not is there any monitor arm thath as a c clamp that goes aover 4" to 6" ?
  6. This is hwo floatplane looks, the video is center up, and no way to hide the sidebbar to the left. Why? Floatplane needs a way to hide the creator bar on the left to get a better video . Full screen is not ideal as I also want to be able to chat during streams. This would be a good feature.
  7. I ended up t aking a part my whole computer completely to remount anduse a better thermal paste I had which solved my temperature issue. The problem is that yes I know there is a motherboard tray cutout , but the issue is that the h5 ultimate on my b350 board, leaves the backplate loose, adn you cannot screw the cooler unless you press on the backplate.
  8. Maybe, i used mx 5 thermal paste, the mounting is probably bad as I said really big cooler, really hard to mount and not helpful that the back plate stays loose until you press it to mount which means I need to mount it outside the case which means I will be unable to screw a couple of screws or plug in the powr, the cooler is big and it becomes an issue to plug in everything else. it is not overvolted, I do use hwmonitor, but even wit honly ryzen master I still reach high temperatures. idle temps are not my issue, is the highest temperatures.
  9. So my problem is simply, my cpu , a 3600x is reaching about 85C or higher sometimes, I have an h5 ultimate with a noctua redux fan 140mm, and 2 intake 140mm noctua fans too. this is on a meshify C. I have come to two problems, first my ram is being blocked, and I want to use the 4 ram slots on my pc , and second, well 85C on this cooler , and its enormous, like installing it requries me to first put the motherboard, put somethingg to push the backplate as the backplate is loose, so I can screw it in, if I dont do this and put the cooler first on the motherboard, then I am simply unable to screw 2 screws on my motherboard nor connect the cpu power fan thanks to the case and the giant cooler. I want to move to a smaller cooler that performs better but I have no idea if there is any air cooler that performs better and its smaller, or if I have to go for an AIO. Any idea on which cooler I could get that is smaller than the h5 ultimate but performs equal or better at least? or should I just go for an 240mm aio on top as exhaust or 280mm aio on the front as intake at this point.
  10. I am aware of the issues with the nvidia gtx gpus and ryzen 3000 series. So I ignored it until I started checking the event viewer and saw this: When I went around to search for which device was having the issue : and things get worst, this goes for about 10 minutes, about 10 per second. : after playing around ,turning off wifi stops this bunch of whea logger and after leeaving it alone benchmarking on a loop with wifi off, I did not have an blue screens regarding uncorrectable whea error. the moment I turned the wifi on and started watching a video would leave me with a blue screen. I am using my ryzen 3600x on a b350 k4 fatal1ty from asrock with 3200mhz C16 ram, I was using before this a 1600x and never saw any of this errors on event viewer so it must be the new ryzen having issues with part of my hardware? I am basing this on matching some values from primary device name due to lack of time to sit around and debug every single thing but those were my findings. If anyone else with more knowledge about windows debugging maybe they can help me see what is causing this issue?
  11. I am on 1.35v, and was stable, 1.45 is not stable at all , several crashes . I moved from 2733mhz to 2800mhz with 1.45 and crashes everywhere, that is why I moved back to 1.35 and a bit slower speeds. I never think about getting AIOS. Love my air coolers, for a future itx build maybe as I have al ot of hard drives and would probably have issues fitting stuff into a itx case.
  12. I have an aftermarket cooler (h5 ultimate) so the cooler is no issue, and since I dont plan on doing manual overclocking I was debating between the 3600x and the 3700x more than the 3600. and I have seen some information regarding it but almost no comparison with b450, x470 or x570 so I could see what do I lose on a b350 vs those boards (besides of course newer chipset features like pcie 4 ) This is for the 3900x which of course is like the endgame but still, what about the midrange ryzens? 3700x and 3600x which are my current target. Though I am surprised on the results for the 3900x but still no comparison with other motherboards on performance and I would not dare to run also the 3900x on my b350, I dont want to kill the vrms just yet.
  13. Hello, so I have a bit of a dilemma, i am running an asrock ab350 k4 fatal1ty with a 1600x and 2x16GB ram 2400mhz o.c to 2733mhz or something along those lines. I want to upgrade to ryzen 3rd gen starting with the cpu. I have not found much benchmarks regarding zen 2 mostly about the 3600x and the 3700x on b350 boards, now you can say that I should upgrade motherboard but I am constrained by budget and a small plan to go from ATX to MATX or ITX as I need a more portable system. I am running a lot of video transcoding and other cpu intensive tasks (encoding, compiling, running some calculations or code that requires a lot of stuff) but I also play some simulation games when not doing any productivity load. Has anyone tried using their b350 boards with a 3600x or 3700x? is there much of a difference between b350 and b450 or x470 regarding cpu performance? I do plan on later upgrading to an x470 or x570 but once I find a case that can fit all my hardware on itx or matx . And even a better question, is ryzen 3rd gen affected by memory speed? I only have 2400mhz ram which I can o.c to a bit above 2700mhz on my board of course . I am budget constrained but actually having more cpu performance would help me get more money (remember those workloads I was running on my 1600x I said above? the faster I do that, the more money I can earn). I am more interested in seeing productivity and gaming benchmarks though on b350 boards as its my limitation right now .
  14. Hello, my problem is simple, I am attempting to test a media server on my LAN which is a wifi network , however the server I am testing is an old poweredge t320 that will not play nice with any wifi adapter except a cheap usb one that is not enough for the task at hand, I do not have a way to connect this directly to the router so I ended up conencting it to ethernet to my gaming pc which was the media server before, my pc has a wifi AC adapter and that should be enough for 1080p streams from the media server, However only my main pc will be able to browse the media server without problem ( I am using Emby which is like plex), Other devices on the wifi are able to see the server broadcasting but they are unable to connect to it to browse the media. This is surely just a firewall issue with windows 10 as I am able to browse to the server with no problem from the pc that is sharing the wifi, anyone here has any tip on how to make this pc be able to work with any other device on the wifi network?
  15. my router does give up the most of the speed on the N band. my main issue is that it gets kinda hot after 1 week or more of uptime but I blame that on directv, the directv boxes reserve 10 i.ps each day, and they dont delete the old entry so the netgear router shows between 20 and -100 devices connected (yes with a minus before), I called directv about this and they tell me that the main box just reserves i.p for the other boxes because it acts like a w ifi hotspot , and then gives those o.ps to the router we have. Never get directv btw, everything but live tv actually uses internet . My router is now a year old almost and so far no issues besides that one which can be fixed easily by a time reboot once a week. However the netgear modem is starting to cuct speed by half after 2 weeks Thanks, I think I will get this one on a deal . thanks for the confirmation.
