Hi I have A MB that only have 1 CPU fan header and 2 sys fan header. Does it matter where I plug in my AIOs pump header or I can interchange them?

That's what I'm thinking. Just wondering if anyone had any luck. Might need to wait for more stable BIOS version.

Hi, So I recently posted about needing some ideas on how to OC my 3700x but decided with some and further research to just let PBo do it's thing and OC the RAM instead. Here's my spec: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor $448.99 @ Mike's Computer Shop CPU Cooler Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120R RGB 66.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler $109.99 @ Amazon Canada Motherboard Gigabyte B450 AORUS M Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard $119.99 @ Amazon Canada Memory ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D41 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory Memory ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D41 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory Storage Intel 660p Series 1.02 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $124.99 @ Canada Computers Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4 GB SSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card Case Metallic Gear NEO MICRO MicroATX Mid Tower Case $109.99 @ Memory Express Power Supply Cooler Master MasterWatt 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply $69.99 @ Amazon Canada Case Fan In Win Sirius Loop ASL120 50 CFM 120 mm Fan Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $983.94 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-08-21 09:49 EDT-0400 With the exception of the RAM since mine is not on pcpartpicker I have 4x 8gb of this ram https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX77533 Right now I'm running it stock with PBO set to auto and XMP profile 1 3200Mhz With my config is there any way I can still improve it by OCing the RAM? I did give it a try but did not have any success. Here's my attempt: The confusing part on my MB is I can edit the Ram timing in 2 places. This page is where I have attempted it first but I can't find the FCLK here. And found this page: But here I can only go up to 3000Mhz (shown on the next screeshot) Does that mean my board is only capable of OC the Ram upto 3000Mhz? also I noticed on this page I can't type the number in manually I have to use the + and - to change the value and it provides me this other values as well And this is where I found the FCLK: I forgot to take a screenshot but I it's on the M.I.T. page where I found to adjust the Ram Voltage. tried 2 attempts and both did not boot/post. and the last one reset my MOBO completely and even removed my Bios Update. So should I just move on and not attempt any overclocking and use it as is? Any inputs are much appreciated.

I have just left it alone for now. What I did was enabled XMP profile 1 on my ram speed of 3200mhz and enabled PBO not sure if it's ideal for everyday use but I'm so confused with all this new things and I've only OCed an i5-4690k before

not planning to push it just a little bump is still not advisable?

sorry I though I had it added but it seems it was posted somewhere else but here's my setup but couldn't find the right memory I have the XPG D60G 4x 8gb. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ryanpeds/saved/fLnCLk

What's your setting on stable OC for a 3700x?

I was just gonna try the EZ tune option on my MB but is seems disabled. I can't find any guide how to enable it. Any suggestions?

With the exception of the RAM to be a different brand since I can't find it. I have the XPG 3200mhz D60g rgb 8gb x 2. And also have additional 3 inwin fans. Need some tips overclocking. Nothing crazy just to push it a bit more. Thanks!

Thank for all the help I do need a system this week since this will be a shared PC and we need it asap. the 3700x is in backorder status right now.

I just considered the 2x 16gb stick ram before since I was choosing a mobo that has 2 ram slots only.

Thank you for the suggestions. But I've been waiting for the 3700x to be on stock on our store but it's always backorder. And as for the size of the build I'd want to stick to a mATX size.

Mostly Adobe suite for editing photos and videos. Bluestacks for mobile emulators and some moba games. And tomb raider like games for triple A titles.

I ditched the idea of the onboard wifi as I have a dongle that works well right now and might just buy a Bluetooth dongle too. I'll do my research about the board. Last question what's the prosnand cons again of the 3600x vs the 2700x productivity and gaming wise?
