    If i get the X-570i, would i be able to overclock ?

    I purchased a ROG B550i and was wondering if anyone has either of these processors in one. My worry is the weak VRM setup on the B550i will prevent me from getting those higher boost clocks or instability when i OC. If anyone can let me know what's the best ITX board to push an OC 5950X / 5900X i'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    Hey guys, i'm looking to get the ROG B550-I and pair it with either a 5950x or 5900x. I'm looking for feedback from owners of this board with either the 3900x or 3950x on how it performs, if there are any shortcomings or quirks about the board etc. I'm not looking for recommendations on another board, i just want some feedback from owners of the B550-I. Thanks very much for the advice and feedback!

    I'm using a Sliger SM580. I'd say it has pretty good airflow and cooling. Thanks for your advice.

    Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of ordering a motherboard for my ITX build and i'm seeking some advice for to choose one. After weeks of asking around and posting on forums, i've more or less accepted the fact that there isn't going to be any new chipsets for Zen 3. I've narrowed down my options to the ROG X570-I and the ROG B550-I. This build is an ITX and i wanted to get a board capable of running an OC 12 core or 16 core zen 3 processor. A few variables i was able to ignore because it doesn't make much difference to me are: ROG X570-I: 1) Doesn't have 2.5G Lan ( My internet speed is nowhere near 1G anyhow) 2) No Type C front header port for my case (Sliger SM580 can use a 3.0 header for the type C front connection) 3) DIMM slots go up to 4800MHZ (Nor sure Ryzen will need anywhere near this speed RAM) ROG B550-I: 1) NVME Limited to Gen3 speeds on rear of board (Don't think i'm going to be using a gen 4 NVME as my secondary games drive but not sure) 2) Weaker power delivery according to Buildzoid (This is the most important part for me, i need it to comfortably run an OC Ryzen 12/16 core chip) 3) Extremely cut down Rear I/O (Seriously, this board has like 3 or 4 USB A ports) Due to these factors, i've ordered the X570-I because i can live without the few drawbacks which pretty much don't affect me. What i wanna know however is if the ROG B550-I board is more than capable of running a 12/16 core Zen3 CPU. Sorry for the long post, thanks for any help you guys can offer!

    So i'm trying to put together an ITX build for Zen3 and currently the 2 boards i've narrowed it down to are the X570 - I Strix and the B550 - I Strix. I'm planning on getting the 4950X or 5950X (whatever they name it). I have a few issues with the X570 Strix as well as the B550 Strix. The X570 doesn't have a front Type C connection for my Case and doesn't have 2.5G Lan. The B550 has both these features but falls short on dual Gen 4 M.2 slots. With Zen 3 announcement right around the corner, is it safe to say there are no plans for X670 this launch? I would have liked a top end ITX X670 board with all the latest advancements for day one of the launch. I'm worried that there isn't any X670 in the works due to the severe lack of discussion and or leaks around it. I know there were articles in December 2019 about it but there hasn't really been any news lately. Should i just sacrifice and get the X570-I Strix or play the gamble and wait till 8th October to see the announcement and hope there isn't another motherboard apocalypse? Sorry for the long post, thanks for any help.

    Should i be worried about shortages?

    Hey all, I'm planning on an ITX Ryzen 4000 build and I'd like to know if there are any leaks around a new motherboard chipset coming. B550i has type c header which i need for my case but x570 has more ports, the fan isn't an issue for me though. The reason I'm desperately asking is because of mobo scarcity. I don't want to end up waiting months for a board when Ryzen 4000 comes out. I find it very strange there are no leaks or at least rumors about a new chipset. Thanks for any information shared!

    Okay cool, thanks for clearing that up. So in summary, just use the 2 cables from the PSU to the GPU and use 3 of the 4 (8pin) GPU connections and i should be safe right? Thanks for the advice.

    To my fellow SF750 owners, if anyone is getting an AIB 3x8 pin RTX 3080 / 3090, are you going to run the 2 x 8 pins from one rail and use the 2nd rail for the last 8 pin? Is this safe? Nvidia recommends using separate cable connections for each 8 pin connector, i was wondering if this was the same for Board partner versions. I noticed the SF750 has 2x GPU cables and 2X CPU 8 pin cables which kinda make no sense for an SFX PSU. I don't understand why they would include 2 x 8pin CPU cables. I don't think i've seen an ITX board require more than 1 x 8 pin connector. Is it safe to connect the extra CPU 8 pin to the 3rd 8 pin connector on the 3080/3090? Sorry for all the questions and bad structure, i'm just wondering what i need to do to prepare for my upcoming card. Thanks!

    What about the first kit? Will it do 4400mhz with 19-19-19-39 timings? I just wanna decide on which kit to purchase.
  13. talos91
    I actually dont care for RGB but those kits only came in RGB so sure, link me your best alternatives.
  14. talos91
    Do you have any recommendations for a 32gb kit other than those 3? If not i will get the CL17 like you mentioned. This kit will be fine for an MSI z490i Unify or any x570 itx boards right?
  15. talos91
    so which kit is best?
  16. talos91
    So i've been doing some RAM research and i'm looking to make a purchase soon but i need some help in deciding. I've narrowed it down to a few kits. My requirements are a 32GB kit that will run on a high end ITX board with a 750Watt PSU. I'm looking to get the best kit for either the Ryzen 4000 lineup or for an 10900k depending on how the gaming benchmarks for Ryzen 4000 look. Here are the kits i'm interested in. G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4000 (17-18-18-38 1.4V) G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4000 (19-19-19-39 1.35V) Crucial Ballistix MAX 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4000 (18-19-19-39 1.35V) What i'm really looking for is the best kit out of those, the cost isn't an issue but i'd like a kit that's reliable and proven to work well with both AMD and Intel. Thanks for the advice.
