    Mattattack94 reacted to WereCatf in How to link image to link in JavaScript   
    Several things wrong with that. First of all, a - elements define links, so if you want an img to be a clickable link, it has to be the child-element of a, not the other way around. Secondly, you're assigning the string "a" as a child to img, instead of the variable a, so it wouldn't work anyways.
    var a = document.createElement('a'); var img = document.createElement('img'); a.href = "Html.html"; a.appendChild = img; img.src = "logo.png"; img.title = "Daring Fireball: Home"; img.id = "logo"; img.alternate = "Daring Fireball" img.height = "56" document.body.appendChild(a);

    It's only 2 weeks away, you probably can get a 5600 for the same money now.
    3600x is not good. Better 3600 and OC a little.

    3600X is pretty much useless unless you can find it cheaper than the 3600.
     
    Besides, I'd wait until Zen 3 gets announced before you make your final decision.

    3600X is no different from the 3600. Stick with 3600 as it's literally the same. (save money)

    That's what that port is!!! I have an old card with that and could not figure out what cable to use with it. I won't be using it anyways because I know it's not good.

    I use them on occasion and find that they do help some with eye strain. I would suggest trying the blue light blocking setting or night mode on your computer before spending any money and see if it helps, but if you still want the glasses then these work pretty well and are fairly cheap too.

    Like TetraSky said, its going to support Zen 3 CPUs which will drop later this year, it just doesn't make sense to buy a B450 board unless your on a super tight budget and have no other options.

    Hmm... Well, in that case, you have no option to overclock your CPU (but even so, AMD fCLK is automatically adjusted by default, so you don't really need to adjust anything).
     
    But there's still hope. Check your system if they have listed how fast can your motherboard support. Still worth a shot.
     
    If not, you might need to change your motherboard.
     
    P.S.: After checking the support website, your motherboard can support up to 3200MHz RAM. I'm not sure if it is O.C. or following JEDEC standard.

    When trying to get the attention of another member, it's best to either quote them, like I just did for you.
    Or to @ them. When you type @ and some characters after it, it should give you a list of names.

    That said, B550 motherboard have the advantage of actually being validated for the Ryzen 3000 and work right out of the box. A lot of B450 motherboards don't support Ryzen 3000 out of the box. (Though that shouldn't be much of an issue with the motherboards being sold right now)
    B550 also has PCI-e 4.0 support and will support Zen 3 CPUs without relinquishing BIOS compatibility with older CPUs, unlike B450 which will drop them and harm the resell capability since it will only be compatible with a select few CPUs instead of "all of them".

    I've just upgraded my home office pc today with a MSI B550-A and a Ryzen 3100 and 16 GB Ripjaws V, got the parts for 330 with shipping. The board is solid with 7 fan headers, front usb 2, 3 and c headers as well as rgb connectors if you fancy that. For me it was important to get something I can upgrade later and that was available right away, also I needed the 6 SATA ports for my storage drives.
    I have no real recommendation when it comes to power supplies, just get a brand name with a 2yr or more warranty and make sure it's at least ATX 2.3 standard. Also if it has a larger fan it will likely be quieter but that is not always the case. I had good experienced with EVGA and Cooler Master PSUs in the lower price range, if you can find some, be-quiet are also pretty good. I'd stay away from Thermaltake these days but Enermax, Superflower and Seasonic of course and others are really good, but generally more expensive. You could get away with a 400 or 450 Watts unit but if you ever want to upgrade that GPU I'd go with at least 500 Watts. There is no real benefit going over 700 unless you plan on upgrading to 3950X and a 2080 TI.

    B550 boards are slightly more expensive but are a good pick up. It hard to say which ones to go with since theres not a ton of reviews yet on them. (or maybe I just missed them?)

    Swap out the B450 with a B550 board. Look for a gold rated power supply with 500 W or more. Also invest in an aftermarket cooler.

    There's a 0-10% improvement in some titles by going with faster memory, but only if you aren't GPU limited which you usually are.

    I'd get the 32gb 3200mhz if it were me. 16gb is enough for gaming and most regular tasks simultaneously, but if you do some things 32gb can come in handy. Like Minecraft servers or some kind of other memory intensive task.

    3600Mhz is the sweet spot for Zen 2, but 3200Mhz is an acceptable compromise, if 3600Mhz is too expensive. CL16 or better on the timings.

    Hmm... Do you know the brand and model of the motherboard? Does your motherboard support XMP profile?
     
    Well, if you like, you can get 3600MHz RAM. The ideal RAM speed is based on the fabric clock (fCLK) of the processor multiply by 2. Some AMD processor has fCLK OC support up to 1900MHz, which make it possible to support 3800MHz RAM.

    corsair lpx is the easy go to option which is widely available at really good prices. but, be carefull. there are many variants so get the one with the best (the smallest) CAS latency for your budget while still being at least 3200mhz.

    Hop on over to https://www.bios-mods.com/ if you want to get into it. Unlocking HP's is notoriously difficult, and may be straight up improbable for your system.
     
    Also keep in mind, there is significant risk of bricking the motherboard, so if it's a daily, don't even think about it. It's not worth a couple of percent.

    Maybe the chipset of the board doesnt allow such thing? Also HP may use propritary software for that rather than the BIOS because prebuilts are for those that think BIOS stands for "butchered in obvious sawmill", something scary like that.

    You can look into bios unlocking (Bios modding), to unlock it. Although its really just making settings visible. I have only done this on a laptop. What is your desktops model number (I will try and see if the bios has any of those features hidden, or if it just doesn't have them)

    Word of Warning: If you screw up your bios, you wont be able to recover it unless your motherboard has a built in bios backup chip, or you have the physical hardware to flash a bios. If you are still interested you can check if anyone over at https://www.bios-mods.com/ has already made an unlocked bios, You can also request them over there. Alternatively you can look up guides to unlock it yourself (again at Risk of Bricking your motherboard).

    I wish you luck!
