I bought the card, my only hope in this case is to contact Newegg and if they don't do anything I'll complain to PayPal.

Oh yea I just wanted to make a suggestion, you should remove the asrock mobos from tier b, because they are listed as being capable of r7oc but you pointed out that it is not suitable for overclocking an r7 1700x, it might confuse some people.

Ok, thanks I'll get back to you once I test it.

Should I put thermal pads on them and undervolt the card.

I saw that the Gigabyte Vega 56 was on sale for 269.99$ on Newegg and it came with 3 free games too. So I got and and it came after a few days, but since I had some important work and had to go, I couldn't test it. I thought that since it is a gigabyte card I wouldn't have to worry about QC issues, but today I just went through Reddit and I found a thread where they ranted about the gigabyte Vega GPUs. Then out of curiosity I checked other reviews and threads. Most of the people have gotten defective GPUs which stopped working sometimes just after 30mins. Apparently it has vrms on the back instead of the front and the vrms receive no cooling, so they Ben themselves it. I haven't opened the packaging yet and it is past the return period, what should I do?

Which one should I get out of these two, GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA and ASUS PRIME X470-PRO. The Asus one is 15$ more than the gigabyte one. I have an R7 1700x.

Oh, what do you exactly mean by it is good enough?

ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4, is this good? @LukeSavenije

Is the ASROCK B450 PRO4 a good motherboard for overclocking a R7 1700x? It is there in TIER B in the motherboard tier list and is recommended for r7oc, but there are many reviews claiming that it is bad for ocing an 8core ryzen processor.

There are two motherboards that I'm looking at one is the Gigabyte b450 aorus elite and the other is the Asus Tuf x470-plus gaming. Both of them are around the 70$ mark, the Asus mobo is an open box one(however it comes with the io shield and other stuff and normal manufacturer warranty) Which one should I get, btw I have a 1700x and RTX 2070.

Thanks!

What is rad? Sorry English is not my mother tongue

It does say it is a complete package with the IO shield and other stuff. Thanks for the help anyways.

Plus it is either this or the Gigabyte aorus b450 elite

It is microcenter so why would they sell a broken mobo?

I would recommend that you sell your 1070TIs for a profit and get a 2080ti.

There is an open box Asus TUF x470 motherboard in microcenter, it says that it comes with all the accessories and Manufacturer warranty applies. What does this mean and will ASUS honor my warranty if in case the need arises.

In my country the 1700x is wayy cheaper than the 2700, so this is not really an option for me.

Cooler Master - MasterWatt 650 W, is this a good PSU.

As I said it is for ML. The 2060's 6GB vram just won't cut it. Plus the 2070 is just 80$ more than the 2060 in my country and the 1660ti doesnot have any tensor cores so it is a no-go for me. Anyways thanks for the quick reply.

No, the 2070 has better ML performance and the extra vram would be nice too. Oh yea the 2600x is more costly than the 1700x in my country and the MSI tomahawk too is more costly. This mobo is also good right it is in tier b in the motherboard list.

I have hard drives. I will be using this build mainly fro Machine learning and Gaming. I have a 1080p ultrawide monitor.

I'm planning to make this exact build: R7 1700x Asrock b450 pro4 ATX motherboard Evga RTX 2070 XC 16GB(2x8) Corsair Vengence LPX DDR4 3000MHz ram Cooler master masterliquid lite 240( I already bought this like 2 years ago). Oh yea and will a 650w 80+ bronze psu be fine for this?

I got one for 269.99$ new with 3 free games
