The build i have here is one i based on a build from another (dutch) website. I only switched the 5700 XT Pulse for a Red Devil; 660p 1TB SSD for the 2TB; the Cooler Master NR400 case for the Meshify C (not really sure yet) and the Corsair TX 550M for the Seasonic 550.
These changes were recommended on that forum, because they produce less noise (except for the case).
Also on the Partpicker systembuilder it had these compatibility issues:
Warning!Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders.
Could this be a serious problem?
Any feedback on this build would be appreciated, thank you.
