Wassup guys,so I am planning to build my first ever pc next week and I already got some parts while some of them are on the way.For cpu I chose to go with the r5 2600 along with the asus rog strix b350-f mobo which I will update.But my question is:Will the cpu run well on a b350 or i will have any problems?The problem is that I find b350-f so gorgeous and I can’t to not buy it and I wanna know If is it worth buying a b350 or going with a x370 and why.Oh and also will I have any problems with the g.skill aegis 8gb 3000mhz on this build?Sorry for my bad English tho and thanks for ur time:)

Suggest me a motherboard for Ryzen 1700. Budget 15k INR ($230). I currently have Gigabyte x370 Gaming K5, but decided to change it as it's BIOS is total crap. BIOS got corrupted 3 times in this week (I don't tweak bios, so not my fault). Bought the full computer 23 days ago. Gigabyte service centre fixed the BIOS 3 times, but after running my computer for 2 to 3 hours, and then the problem starts again. There is no display output from the mobo (Only the cabinet fan and RGB of RAM was running). I am thinking of Asus x370 ROG strix. My current hardwares..:- CPU: AMD Ryzen 1700 Graphics card : Asus 1060 6GB OC Motherboard: Gigabyte x370 gaming K5 RAM: G.Skill TridentZ 3200 mHz 16 GB (8 X 2) SSD: Samsung Evo 850 250GB SATA HDD: WD 2 TB SMPS: Corsair TX 650W

Hi, I did a lot of research but still can not decide on what board. I am getting a Ryzen R5 1600 and would want to overclock! I am however stuck on picking a motherboard. I am considering between the Asus B350 Prime Plus and the MSI X370 Carbon. I would really appreciate the help.

Hello, one day at what seems to be random, my case fans and CPU fan started to run a consistent amount higher than what I had set the fan curves to be. While in the bios, they still follow it perfectly, but while I run in windows they speed up, also while in windows they always accelerate to a point, then once they reach it drop, then accelerate again. I never changed anything from before and after they did this I've tried turning off and deleting all software that con control the fans but it still happens. I'm on the X370 platform with an msi gaming pro carbon, if that helps. Also, if any of you know, is there a way to change my 1080 Ti strix oc's colours without an asus motherboard, or change my corsair sp and hd120s to any colour without a commander pro/lighting node pro

As the title says I'm upgrading my PC and I'm looking for opinions on the motherboard. The CPU is going to be a AMD Ryzen 7 1700x. The chip set I'm looking at is AMD X370. My price range is anywhere in the $100 - $300 (CAD)/ $80 - $235 (USD) area.

Which motherboard is better in terms of features, overclocking etc... "Asus Rog Strix X370-F Gaming" or "Asus Prime X470-Pro"

Looking for best advice here, please. Should I buy a Ryzen 7 1700 (and overclock it), Gigabyte X370 K7 motherboard, 32GB DDR4 3200 Ballistix RAM now... or get the Ryzen 2700 (or 2700X), X470 motherboard, 32GB DDR4 3200 RAM? OR... wait for DDR5? I don't care about RGB or WIFI. Dual Ethernet would be a plus but not mandatory. I do plan to overclock the 'new' system so having stable power delivery system, proper heatsinks, and RAM support is what I'm looking for. The purpose for me upgrading the current system is for gaming, streaming, content creation, and I am an engineering student (I multitask a lot on the PC which is a must and my computer also doubles as a kind of workstation, file server, network media server, and for computer technical side job work.) Having a m.2 option on the motherboard for that kind of upgrade would be a plus to me as I might get one of those as well (would it be better to go directly to m.2 over a SATA SSD and if yes or no - which one would be best?) I currently use a partition of 2TB for my main C drive with 850GB free space. I'm planning to reuse my new PSU, new Case, GPU (for now), DVD-RW (LG, model unimportant - it's SATA), and my HDD's (Main drive is a Hybrid SSHD, all others are 7200 RPM HDD's, all are SATA based of some kind, not going to get into details here). When I game, I'm able to get playable frame rates right now while streaming (90~140 FPS @ 1080P resolution, stream is scaled down to 720P)... but I noticed that my stream looks like bad quality at 720P which is about the best I can stream at without making my in-game FPS not dive below playable rates (it's not my Internet connection speed at fault). I notice that my CPU is being used at maximum and my video card is not being used much at all which means to me that my CPU and RAM is the bottleneck for me right now and it's time to upgrade for sure. Before anyone asks, I don't want to blow my entire budget if I don't have to, I prefer to save some money as much as possible but my budget is $1,000. I would like to get additional other upgrades for my setup within time... better GPU (not sure which direction I'm going with here yet), webcam (Logitech C922x Pro), green screen, lighting (Diva Ring Light Super Nova 18" Dimmable Ring Light and Softbox photography variety), DAC interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i4), Sound Devices Mix Pre6 ,Elgato Stream Deck, mic (Rhode NT1A), monitor (34" 21:9 3440x1440 144Hz UltraWide Curved monitor with decent color accuracy for gaming/streaming/art/content creation)<-- that monitor/resolution is the goal. PC Specifications: CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Mobo: Asus Maximus II Formula RAM: 8GB G.Skill DDR2 GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Flex Storage: Several 7200 RPM SATA HDD's Power: Be Quiet! Straight Power 10 800W Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Blackout Monitor 1: Asus VS247H-P Monitor 2: Dell IN1910N Webcam: Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF Mouse: Logitech G502 Keyboard: Logitech G910 Headset: HyperX Cloud II So... what should I get?

Hi guys! I am looking for X470 ITX motherboards available but they are all too expensive for me. Does anyone know X370 ITX motherboards that are factory ready for ryzen 2000? Thanks! PD: recommended ram speed for ryzen 3 2200g?

Hi everyone, Lately I've made a (budget) desktop for a friend and I thought the new Ryzen APU (2400g) would be a good solution, however I keep getting BSOD's after I install the display driver. I've tried a fresh Windows 10 (x64) 1709 install, the newest chipset drivers from AMD's website (18.10) and tried to install the latest (17.x) display drivers. After that I get the VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE bsod. It just keeps turning up after I startup Windows. This usually happens after I open the Edge-browser. Sometimes it just pops up after logging in. System Configuration: Motherboard: Asus X370 Prime Pro CPU: Ryzen 5 2400g Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M2B3000C15 BIOS: Latest 8303 from Asus' support site Driver: AMD's 17.7 (chipset) driver (automatically selects when I pick the CPU from AMD's site) and 17.4 graphics driver OS: Windows 10 x64 (1709) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Windows 10 (clean install) 2. Install chipset driver 3. Reboot 4. (everything is still fine here) 5. Install display drivers (I was sure to unselect the other chipset drivers) 6. Reboot 7. BSOD after I open Edge I fixed it by deleting the graphic drivers after which it runs on the standard Windows drivers, but this is not really a solution in my opinion. Could this be a faulty CPU or Mobo? Anyone got any thoughts?

I have a ryzen 2200g so I really don't want to update the bios my using the bootkit from amd so can you guys help find a decent mboard that has an am4 socket with amd 2000 ready to go Thx u. Preferably a AB350/X370 also the budget is $140 max/£100. Prefer amazon as well if you can thxs.

Hello guys, can someone with x370 taichi board please help me to test this. 1. unplug any audio device from front panel jack 2. Open realtek manager and see if the green front panel jack greyed out when that audio device is unplugged In my case, it always shows me that the green front jack is being used even if I unplug my headphone. I'm not sure if it suppose to be like that or there is some problem with my board or my front jack.

As the title said, I want to find a motherboard as a replacement of my dead motherboard from previous thread: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/915709-gigabyte-ga-ab350-gaming-3-is-dead-after-replacing-ram-with-rgb-sticks-just-an-unlucky-coincidence/ I have: - Ryzen 5 1600 - Corsair Vengeance RGB CMR16GX4M2C3000C15 8GB x 2 - Enermax Triathlor Eco 1000W - Samsung 850 EVO 250GB - Western Digital Blue 4TB - HIS RX 480 8GB - Thermaltake View 27 Since I have a spare RX 470 8GB as well, I think I might want to choose X370 motherboard so I can use both my VGA in a CrossFire mode. Have any recommendations for bang for the bucks X370 motherboard? Right now I am considering a used AsRock X370 Taichi for around JPY 15000 (USD 140) with one-week warranty. Is it worth?

I've been trying to set a stable cpu and ram OC on my ryzen 5 1600x for 3 days with no luck. I can get a stable CPU OC at 4ghz 1.4v on 2133 ram speed or a 3.6Ghz at stock voltage on 3200 ram speed at 1.35v but not both at the same time. Every time I set both I get a F9 code, reboot, and bios is set to stock. The PC boots fine and stable on windows, but everytime i get into bios i get a F9 code RAM passes a 600% memtest, and cpu OC is stable for hours in OCCT, Prime95, Aida64 and 30 calculations on intel burn test. I have increased SOC in small increments from 1.1 up to 1.2v unsuccessfully. I'm about to declare defeat on this one.

Hey all! Im gonna be upgrading my PC with an R7 1700, and im not 100% sure if i should take a good X370 motherboard, or a cheaper B350 one? What i've looked at: B350: MSI B350 Tomahawk ASUS ROG Strix B350-F Gaming X370: MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon Or if you have any other recommendations you're welcome

Hi All,Just ordered the Asus Prime X370 Pro motherboard along with 16GB (2x8) Corsair LPX 3200 DD4 RAM - CMK16GX4M2B3200C16In my rush to get the order in for next day delivery I think I may have ordered RAM that's not compatible with my MoBo however all the charts I can find are from last year and not up to date.Can anyone please let me know if it will work. Thanks so much!

Not quite sure how to ask this... I recently build my new R7 1700X / X370-F system. I had quite a lot of trouble with it in the beginning but now it's running fine at 3.88GHz. My Trident Z 3200MHz kit runs at 3000MHz. AMD RYZEN R7 1700X @3.6GHz ASUS Strix X370-F ASUS Strix GTX 1070 G.Skill TridentZ 3200MHz 16GB Dual Channel @3000MHz Corsair RM750i DeepCool Captain 240EX RGB Phanteks Enthoo Evolv TG ATX Black Samsung 960 Evo 500GB M.2 NVME Samsung 850 Evo 500GB 2.5" SATA WD Black 4000GB WD Red 4000GB BenQ Zowie XL2735 All I really do is gaming at 1440P, 144Hz. Dirty Bomb, Quake Live, TOXIKK, Reflex Arena and Quake Champions. I also started playing Tomb Raider 2013 and Doom 2016... yesterday. Quake Live obviously runs at it's maximum FPS (250), Dirty Bomb often does too (180) but drops into the 140s and possibly a tiny bit lower than that. Reflex and TOXIKK are also solid. Although, I think that TOXIKKs performance is pretty GPU bound, not sure. I often droops into the 110s. Raising or lowering graphical settings has a massive effect. Quake Champions' FPS is all over the fucking place, 190-110. mostly in the 160s but it really does drip down into the 120s somewhat often. 110s are rare but present. By the way, QC is going to get Vulcan support, just in case that that's valuable information... Apart from that I also play quite a lot on Dolphin and Cemu, highly single core performance dependant emulators. They run perfectly fine unless I crank up the graphics. I am absolutely not sure what's causing stutter at higher resolutions and enhancements, since they are emulators I'd not be surprised if it was the CPU and not the GPU. I'm not sure if I will play much of anything else anytime soon. None of this utilizes anywhere near enough threads for Ryzen to have made sense. You might be wondering why I actually went with Ryzen in the first place. I simply have not been following along with the new Intel launches after the X299 stuff. I wasn't aware of the 8700K... And 4 cores on the 7700K can go fuck themselves Didn't do too much research at the time of buying. I mean, I already knew what I wanted just a few months back. So I went with that. Since I don't have much of any use for more than 6 cores and want decently high framerates, should I return my MoBo and CPU for the Intel counterparts? It would be 70€ more, not a problem. Motherboard would be the Z370-F (would looove the Z370-E for the WiFi but Silver.... Nah ). Two M.2 slots would be awesome. Especially now that they both support PCI-E 3.0 x4. One of the things that is making me really unsure also is the unbelievably pathetic rear I/O on that board compared to the X370-F. I wish they would not put a fucking DVI port there instead of some more Type A USB ports. I mean, how many connectors for the integrated graphics would anyone ever need on a gaming motherboard? Exactly, none. So from a pure convenience point of view staying on Ryzen would be nice. But it's still not enough of a reason to sacrifice a whole lot of performance, though... I actually am really conflicted and I would love some input from others. By the way, my system looks absolutely beautiful. Just thought I'd throw that in here But damn, Asus Aura is suuuper limited. Can't even save different profiles and have them load up when I open a certain game. My mouse and keyboard turn red when opening Quake, I expected to be able to have the PC do the same with Aura... But nope... It's actually ridiculous. Help is greatly appreciated.

Please help me build my very first gaming rig. I'm pretty newb when it comes to Mobo. I want to use I5-8400 as my CPU and be able to use its full potential. Here's the current plan I have: CPU : i5-8400 Motherboard : X370 Taichi ?? Memory Sticks: Gskill Trident 3200-cl15 2x8gb SSD : ?? HDD : ?? Case : ?? I'm into gaming and when it comes to motherboard, I wanted to upgrade to i7 8th gen when I have the budget. Is it okay with X370 taichi? or should I choose another mobo. please enlighten me too on how to use the full potential of the mobo I read the specifications but I have no Idea on how to use them.

I completed the following build about a month ago. Earlier today, I found a great deal on some additional RAM. I was wondering if I'd have any compatibility issues adding these two sticks to my current setup? The two 8GB sticks that I currently have are OC'd to around 3066hz and I'm hoping to do the same two the two additional 16GB sticks.

i have a MSI SLI PLUS X370 wondering if i can hook up and run 6 or even 7 GPU's at the same time?

Okay. I've been having a plethora of issues, and I'm so fed up with all of them. If a solution here works, I'll gladly pay someone instead of buying new components for hundreds of dollars myself for testing. In short, I built my system back in September and since day 10 have had issues, mostly with BSODs. Most of them point to memory issues, but others also point to graphical driver issues. I've bested most of the original BSODs to my knowledge when I reinstalled Windows in December, but a few have arose since then, especially when gaming & surfing the web. I'm mostly worried about my memory issues, as they seem to be more prevalent than anything else, so that can take priority focus. I'm just going to puke everything I've collected data-wise about the errors, including BSOD error names, dump files, plenty of pictures, and so on.

I was attempting to overclock my ryzen 7 1700 cpu to 4ghz. It was too high and the pc shut off. I thought nothing of it. I tried to reboot, got into the bios once, failed to fix it, and rebooted. The second time it didn't boot to bios and won't change nomatter what I do. I need to get to bios but i cant. Things light up except for part of the board. Thanks

Hello all, I've been trying to solve this issue for a while now. My motherboards USB ports/headers continue to have power after the computer is shut down. This means anything connected i.e. keyboard mouse etc will stay lit. My previous Gigabyte motherboard had an option to turn this off in the Bios which was great. My Taichi on the other hand only has a "Deep Sleep" option that I could find. This works but when you go to turn the computer back on the power button does nothing. You have to turn the PSU off then back on. Any ideas? This is quite an annoying feature to say the least.

Hi. So I have built my first mid end PC. Ryzen 1700, 16Gb ram, Asus prime pro x370, gtx 770. (If more specs needed just ask) I have only one sata SSD on 240gb. My friend gave me a Toshiba m.2 ssd from an old laptop because his mobo didn't have a m.2 slot. M.2 SSD (THNSNJ512GDNU) 512Gb When I put it in the system it doesn't show up in the bios. When I boot into my windows, in the Disk manager it show Disk 1 as Unknown (see picture) I tried initializing it but didn't work. I tried disabling USB 3.1 controller. Changing SSD data port from sata01 to sata07. I inserted my graphics card into the pcie 16_2. Tried PCI x2 and x4 mode. Updated the bios and now have the latest 17/11/2017 If anyone have any solutions or any ideas please help. I would like this drive to work but I don't know if the drive is dead or I'm missing the key. Thank you.

I am looking to build a portable Gaming/Workstation PC in the Fractal Node 202. Since cooling is quite limited in that case I am worried about motherboard VRM temps on the Asrock Fatal1ty X370 itx/ac since I plan to overclock. I am using the 8 core 1800x which makes the whole deal More complicated. Its partially taken care of my 180W down draft cooler but the VRM heatsink is still inferior to everything i have seen so far. TL;DR: What are my options for Substitution of VRM Cooling on the Asrock X370 ITX Mobo?
