TheFishBucket reacted to NuclearPenske7 in New into gaming on PC
I just watched it and it's hardly an expert opinion. He's determining if a board is garbage based on the visual layout of VRMs and the heatsinks. Lots of generalization and speculation on certain boards based on his knowledge on other, completely different boards spec-wise. There's zero testing involved and he based his analysis of all B450 products on stock pictures. He doesn't even know which VRM components the manufacturers used and resorted to counting the number of things he sees in the pictures. Anyone can do that. That's not an expert opinion.
I'm not defending any manufacturers since they all use same-tier components at this price range. Sure, you may squeeze out another 100-200 MHz with a $200+ board, but at that point you'd be much better off spending that extra money on a better GPU. Most of the criticism on cheap motherboards come from people trying to build high-end rigs around the cheapest boards, which this build clearly isn't.

TheFishBucket reacted to ZXR in Is this PC worth it?
If you get a 1600, you can also save the $50 on the cooler which is kinda useless. you can then use that money to upgrade your motherboard maybe? or go back to 16gb ram.
