ValorantIsBetterThanCsgo

Guys I also just figured out that my b550f-gaming BIOS is running version 1401, and the newest one on the ASUS site is 2423. Should I flash my BIOS? or is that unnecessarily "dangerous" considering it could brick my Motherboard?

Sounds promising, will try. Thank you

I did a clean install from an ISO file on my USB drive. I did keep the files off my old Hard drive though, if that makes any difference.

On the one hand, i agree, but on the other hand - unfortunately - that wont help me anymore now. Im kinda commited and going back to w10 feels like giving up at this point xD.

Hi guys, following Issue; Ive installed W11, made sure ive activated TPM 2.0 in my BIOS, most of the time it runs fine too. Its just that sometimes ill be playing games or working, listening to music, and ill notice that like a 0.5-1 second part of the music is looping, people on discord dont hear me anymore, i cant interact with anything anymore, and only a hard restart gets me back into my system. Seems to be happening at random almost. My Specs are a Ryzen 7 5800x, an RX 5800, and a ROG Strix B-550f Gaming motherboard. Any Ideas?

Aight guys thanks a lot, helped me out quite a bit. Now lets pray that AMD is releasing more Zen 3 Stock in German Stores as soon as possible, if at all haha

Hello there, Im planning on upgrading from an i5-7500 and an incredibly scuffed motherboard thats smaller than it should be to a more fitting build; Ryzen 7 5800x and - well - theres the issue. And before I continue, yes I realize getting a 5800x will be very difficult if not impossible, but that is NOT what im asking about. My Question is, is getting a B550-F Motherboard, in place of a x570, a big deal in the current year? Yeah sure x570 is like - the shit - as far as I know, but the speed of PCI-E 4.0 is still limited to your components, which in turn dont even max out PCI-E 3.0 ports, no? So then, will I have to upgrade in the near future, if I buy a b550-F instead of an x570? (with near future I mean near enough that I will regret not buying it now) The two specific Mainboards in question are btw the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F and Gigabyte Aorus x570 Elite - Yes they can be found for roughly the same price, but I found a upgrade kit with the 5800x and the Motherboard, in which the MB is priced considerably less, than if I were to buy it seperately. Thanks in advance guys.

In what way is your suggested motherboard better than an MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus (which ive seen at 160 euros)? EDIT: nvm i just found your suggestion for 180 which isnt much more

goddDAMN these r more people than i expected x). I wanna thank all of u guys first of all, and yeah ive gone through all your replies and in conclusion First of all: Jesus christ i know less than i thought I knew Second of all: Zen 3 is a really good point, i might wait for some more news on that before buying anything at all Depending on whether or not i manage to sell my old pc components, i might be able to get a cpu and an rtx 2070s (im not quite rich enough for 2080 yet) so thats a possibility. When it comes to intel/amd im still very split, on the one hand intel is (allegedly) easier to install and better rounded off, has better performance for games, but the 3700x has more multitasking ability and supports PCIE 4.0 (which may be something important in the future, i presume) 10600(k) +4.1 ghz + Low cost -6 Cores 10700(k) +Octa-core =3.8 ghz -High Cost 7 3700x +Octa-core +x570 =Medium cost -3.4 ghz Did I forget anything? And if not, are 6 Cores really futureproof too?

I really appreciate all the replies guys, didnt expect this. I see a lot of people going yeah intel is better for gaming and has less quirks, but will it be better in gaming + some 3-5 other background tasks running almost constantly? This may be a really dumb question i dunno, just wanted to clarify yeah ill "only" be using the pc for gaming but for me thats not just running games, but running games with like 4 other applications up and running Ty a lot for your help guys!

I am in fact upgrading. Going for a motherboard, cpu, and a cpu fan obviously. My budget is alright, id rather not spend over 550 euro vor all three, and since ive kinda got my heart set on the Noctua NHU12S, that would mean i have some 490-500 euros for the cpu and motherboard combined

Basically the title. Im personally for the AMD alternative, much better value, fairly similair performance etc. But after having taken a look at graphs like these... i dunno... Id be using it to game primarily, but usually id have a youtube video or spotify or discord or everything at once running on my second and third monitor. Goal is to get 144fps or higher in most competetive games like everything from Valorant to Rainbow Six, while also running discord and chrome bla bla bla. Is the chart representative of how it really is? If so, do you guys think the few fps are worth it? Do you guys have any negative or positive experience with either? I expect to be bombarded with "GO AMD WE R IN 2020" answers, but id rather ask a dumb question than buy a wrong cpu
