    3300x. Here's a great video on this exact matter:

    1. Invest in a bigger SSD instead of multiple ones.
    2. Do you really need 32GB of ram?
    3. X570 motherboard is overkill. Get a B550 one and your wallet will approve.
    4. 750w power supply is overkill, 500w should be fine
    5. You don't need an AIO liquid cooler unless you really need it to look cool.
    6. Ryzen 3600 vs 3600x is a small difference. Get the 3600 instead
     
    Then with all this saved money, get a better GPU.

    I often wonder how inexperienced builders always end up with such excessively high-end hardware.

    I don't think they should be doing liquid metal if they can barely even get the build to work, but oh well.

    Yes its under warranty and if i cant figure out what the problem is i will probably send it to msi but i want to know if its something i can solve because it takes too long for them to repair

    Did you buy it new?  If so, it should be under warranty, I'd let MSI figure it out.

    Reseat the CPU and clean its contacts on the underside. If the RAM functionality is spotty and the motherboard is blaming the CPU then it's probably the CPU.

    ZzLy got a reaction from Detective in Ryzen 3700x Temps Reaching 60°-70°C While Browsing And Watching Videos   
    This is normal for Ryzen. Ryzen doesn't downclock during low usage like intel does, so it's always running at high speeds regardless of load, which produces more heat. Also because of the 7nm process used by Ryzen 3000 chips, the dye is physically very small so the heat is concentrated in a smaller point under the IHS, making these chips extra hard to cool, including under load.

    ZzLy got a reaction from Senzelian in What happens if you run integrated and dedicated graphics at the same time   
    I've always wondered this. What happens if you plug two monitors in the PC, one in the motherboard and one in the GPU, and then opened a game and dragged it across the monitors? Well it turns out it just uses whatever GPU you first opened the game on.
     
    In the video below, I opened Fornite (cringe, i know) on the left monitor which was hooked up to the RX 570 and then dragged it to the right monitor which was plugged into the iGPU and it kept running at the same framerate. I then unplugged the monitor from the GPU and even though the remaining monitor was plugged into the motherboard, it kept running at the same framerate.
     
    Linus made a video where he used Mining-made GPU's for gaming by using a little trick to feed the GPU's output to the motherboard, but I guess this is just built into- and used by Windows by default?
    If so, does anybody know how this could be manually turned on? This would be really useful for someone who has a GPU that works but just can't output an image on its own ports.

    ZzLy got a reaction from HanZie82 in Upgrading very soon. I have concerns.   
    Just put the drive in the new system and it should install the appropriate chipset drivers automatically (assuming it's connected to internet).

    xeon should be just as fast, so buy the xeon. Also it appears that you might have left CAPS-lock turned on by accident.

    Everything should work yes. Cooling is fine as it is, best you can do is buy a batter case that either looks cool or has good airflow, and perhaps add a harddrive.

    160 usd seems a bit much for a 1080p panel. 27 inch could be fine, but it depends on how big your desk is etc.

    Ryzen is fine here. Also, Intel right now is not only bad because their CPUs have bad price/performance, but also because the 1151 socket is at its end of its life and the 9th gen CPUs were the last to be made for it, so basically you'd be investing in a dead platform.

    Should work fine, just make sure you update the motherboard's bios first. Also the power supply is fine.

    ZzLy got a reaction from Mardax007 in What to choose? R5 2600 or R7 2700X   
    2700x is natuurlijk beter, zolang dit in je budget past. Met de 2600 ziet het er wil prima uit maar met de 2700x raad ik je aan om een beter power supply te kopen; 550 watt ofzo. En een 120GB SSD raakt vrij snel vol, naar mijn ervaring, dus ik raad je aan om een 240/250/256 GB ssd te kopen.

    Check if you don't have any overclocks that might be screwing with stability. Also, Even Viewer will always give errors and warnings regardless if it's relevant or not, so that is not a reliable source for diagnostics.

    The 5960x is definitely still fine for gaming.
