So X470 or X570?

Regardless, yes you can, but manual overclocking's generally not really worth bothering with for Zen 2. Just enable PBO and let it do its thing.

I ment x470 sorry. Could I use ryzen master and will it be stable?

I was wondering can I overlcok the ryzen 5 3600 on a msi x570 gaming pro max

Hello, I was wondering which cpu is better, I want to do gaming and video editing. I was looking at the ryzen 5 2600 but i found the i3-9100f for £61 on amazon. Is it worth me getting the i3 over the ryzen?

I can see according to your manual that the power switch terminals are the top right hand 2 pins as shown in the image. if you use a piece of metal to connect the two, this will turn the computer on. If this did not work, you will need to make sure that your power connectors for the PSU are fully secured in the back of the unit and on the board.

 

Most importantly, make sure if you are using a power bar that it is turned on, and that the PSU is switched on (I is on, O is off) - (I did this once, super bad brain fart but it happens to the best of us) or make sure the outlet the pc is plugged into is live.

 

If all items are fully secured and plugged in, and you have live power, I cannot see any reason why the system wouldnt at least turn on.

It was the psu that was the problem

that could definitely solve the problem, just to confirm that the PC boots up and is working, you can still try shorting the power switch pins to get it to power on before you go reconnecting anything

Nope it didnt work. Do you have any other solutions I could try.

Okay. so first things first, make sure that the power switch connecters are plugged into the right pins on the motherboard. you can confirm this by referring to the manual. R.T.F.B. as we always say which means always read the f***ing book haha. You can also use a piece of metal to short out the two power switch pins on the motherboard.

 

Secondly, please ensure that the 24 pin power connector is secure on both sides, as well as the 8 pin EPS at the top left of the board. 

I think I've figured it out. The front panel block on the nzxt h510 has a different layout to what the msi board has. So if I use the adapter it should work

When you say it wont boot do you mean you press power button and absolutely nothing happens? Do fans start spinning do lights come on? Need a bit more details of the nitty gritty before we can help you.

It does nothing when I press the on button 

Hello, nothing happens when I press the power button if that helps. 

Hi everyone, I just finished building my new PC. I've build a few others before but this time I've had a problem. It wont boot at all. All the components are brand new. I was thinking it could be the front panel connectors on my case (nzxt h510) because they have a block. There is a adapter which splits it off into the individual connectors. I am running a b450 tomahawk max and was wondering if it was the front panel block which was causing a problem 

I was wondering if the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB is enough to cool a overclocked ryzen 5 3600, I'm planning on a 4.1 - 4.2 overclock 

Hello I was just wondering what psu I should get for a 970. I'm from UK and have a budget if around £35 to £45 but am willing to go a little bit higher 

UK around £35 - £45

Where did you buy it from?

Do you know what psu I can get with 2 8 pin cables

Hey just bought a gtx 970. I have a problem. My psu only has 1 8 pin connector. Do I have to buy another psu or is there some sort of adapter I could use to have 2 8 pin cables. I know I messed up and should of done research 

Hey guys. I just want to know does the msi 450 gaming pro carbon ac work with ryzen 5 3600 out of the box with no bios updates?

Hey guys. I want to overclock my ryzen 5 3600. I will be using ryzen master to overclock the cpu. I want to know how how much I can overclock it. I was thinking 4.2. Is this the highest I can go? And if so what voltage do I use. 

I am using a msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac  motherboard

Hello guys. My friend is building a new PC and would like to know if this PC would be able to stream while playing fortnite at 144fps. This is competitive btw so lots of endgames.

CPU: i7 4790

GPU: gtx 970

Ram: 16gb ddr3 

Is there any good ryzen 5 2600 motherboards under £50 that are actually decent? I'm helping my friend make a budget build. I'm from the UK

Hey guys. I was wondering what's the cheapest motherboard I could get that was useable with ryzen 3 3200g without having to update bios? Doing a really budget gaming PC for my friend

Don't buy a PSU from some brand just because you used one that didn't fail before. A dead PSU can cost tons more than than the few pounds you save over a much better unit.

YouTubers like Greg Salazar (510k subs) have used areocool psu in budget builds 

Yeah when I was looking for psu on Amazon I saw a company called areocool who had 4.6 with like 1000 reviews and I did some resuch on them and found out they were the only good cheaper psu brand

Does that board need a bios update to run the 3200g?
