Edit: removed some stuff that was incorrect about OPs current APU being faster than their GPU

so from a bit of looking around it looks ok if your ok with second hand there are some better chips that you might be able to get at a similar price but that would involve the R word, 2200G specifically but i wont argue with you on it.

but to answer you base question yes thats better than what you have an noticeably so.

heres where i got my info

gamers nexus also have a review of the chip and a $370 pc using the chip too

GN review 

GN budget build 

There used to be an application called bittorrent sync that sounds like what your after. apparently its called Resilio Sync these days 

Edit: it used to be free but looks like its payed now 

SMB file share is probably the easiest way to go though if you want a free solution NFS might be a bit faster but i dont have much experience with it so cant really comment on that.

A fast kit of Corsair LPX is perfectly fine, that's what I use for a majority of my builds and in my personal rig. Honestly you can never go wrong with it.

year i've used corsair DDR3 in quite a few systems. had just hear around the internet an a few overclockers that B die is the best ram you can get. also saw some of gamers nexus OC videos where he got better results by changing ram timings than clock speed.

I mean if a lesser know brand name and a crappier warranty justify the price difference then go for it. The Ryzen 3000 series CPUs are even more ram speed hungry than previous generations as AMD has released a ram compatibility chart and the recommended ram speeds for 7 and 9 are 3200mhz or higher. The teamgroup ram should be fine but corsairs extended warranty and excellent customer service justifies the extra money in my opinion. Don't check just one seller either usually Teamgroup and Corsair LPX aren't that far apart price wise.

the team group kit comes with a lifetime warranty, its actially only 10 years, with a national etailer ive not had much luck finding B die for less that the £200 mark which is more than id like to spend really. mostly wanted to know if its worth going for a b die kit or just some fast corsair stuff?

so I'm planning a new build on Ryzen 3rd gen, not sure which chip yet ryzen 7 or 9, i know ram was an issue for first gen ryzen i also know this got better in ryzen 2.

so my question is exactly like the title is Samsung b die ram worth the extra cost theirs a £30 difference in price between a corsair vengeance set or a team group Samsung b die 16gb kit at 3200Mhz CL14

i haven't done ram OC before but would be interested in giving it a try.

thanks for any help

anyway ryzen cpu's i dont need because i won't stream or anything i just want to game a lot and i don't want ryzen processors because they're trash in my opinion

if you want to go intel that badly then you could get a first gen i7 for way cheaper, about £10 on ebay. 

if you want gaming performance well ryzen has better ipc than sandy bridge E so you need to go ryzen for gaming.

its your money so you can pay more for less if you want, though i dont think brand loyalty is worth spending the money on.

i had seen some stuff about heat but it dosnt feel hot specy says the motherboard temp is 13C the room im in is probably around that sort of temp too. non of the heat sinks on the motherboard feel that hot either is there any way i can check or am i just going to have to go for a new board or borrow one to check it?

thanks for the help

Can you send me a link to download claymore?

https://github.com/nanopool/Claymore-XMR-Miner/releases

as a note basically all miners will be flagged by anti virus since they are used in so much malware these days you might need to dl it to a location that you exclude from your antivirus. scan it to virustotal before you run it if you want to see what i mean they most av flag it as a miner some just flag it with a generic malware tag

You can technically find a block of 12.5 Bitcoins worth $175,000 with any amount of hashing power.

true if you are insanely lucky do this and be rich but almost no change of that happening 

stak xmr miner supports nvidia and amd but it probably dosnt work with the 5450 960s are going to be way more useful than the 5450

monero benchmarks says abround 240 hash a second each 

monerobenchmarks.info says you should be able to get 50 hash a second what cpu is in the system your going to use it in? that might be better use of power. monero benchmarks uses user submitted results the person who submitted the 5450 result used claymore 9.6 if you can find that on there github try that and see if you can get it working 

intensecoin was kind of easy to mine a while ago it shouldnt be that bad yet i managed to mine 1029 of them with a r9 270x i used claymore miner though it didnt like my 5770 so i dont see it working with a 5450

https://intensecoin.com/ 

there are probably easier things to mine but thats one i know of and have mined 

i tryed to do some monero mining with my 5770 most stuff dosnt support cards that old as a low end new card or a recent cpu can out hash them. so depending on what you want to mine you might be able to but you almost certainly wont be profitable

Could we get a picture just to check everything is right on that end. if you can with the whole motherboard in frame

you could also wait to the gaming Volta card comes out you might get titan v like performance card that you could get more than one of  for similar money to just the V but if you want to get started soon the 1080tis are probably the way to go. maybe sell them once Volta is out. its sounding like Volta is going to be early 2018 but cant say for sure.

your not going to be able to get it into the slow with it screwed in.

well you might be able to leaver it in but id be worried about the first tab of the connector so id say wait till you can get a screwdriver once you get the card out should be an easy fix or did you originally insert the card when it was unscrewed?

a picture with the graphics card not in the slot might help so we can check for anything wrong with the slot

wait are you trying to disconnect and reconnect the card without removing the screws on the retention bracket? 

LTT did a video a while ago might help you out 

i think its the angle i also think r4tch3t is right about the clip, didnt see that at first. can we get a photo of the slot might be something else we cant see

to me it looks like the angle might be the issue, think the end of the connector is hitting the pcie slot.

try and keep the card straight so no side of  the connector is more in than the other 

so about an hour ago my system locks up whilst playing a YouTube video screen goes black audio was looping, i tried the reset switch but after that it wouldn't boot eventually got that sorted not sure exactly what it was but im back in windows( i have done a bios reset but that was after i got to windows).

Now that I'm back in windows the cpu wont go past 1.36GHz ( multiplier isn't going above 7x 20x is the default) windows can tell the base speed is 4GHz I had speed steping disabled before the reset didnt change anything.

At this point i am fairly sure either the cpu is damaged and down clocking to protect itself or the motherboard is broken in some way is there a way to tell with some certainty exactly which it is? i think its probably the cpu but if theirs a way to check that would be grate.

to those who are going to say why both just get a new system i don't have much money atm if ram was anywhere near affordable i would have a new system.
