I an having issue with my Gigabyte b250m d3h motherboard .... 3 years after purchase ..one day it started beeping and it was 4 long beeps and 1 short and it restarts ...same thing happens again.. i thought it was ram problem...so after replacement it worked fine and then AGAIN the beeping! the i thought probably the ram slot was damage.. i have 3 ram (8+4+4) 16 GB total...... 3 of 4 slots was used... but when rearrange ( trying each ram in each slot till it fixes) the ram to each different slot...it starts to boot normally again.... and stays fine for weeks..... Now i dont get it ...is it the ram problem or ram slot problem or both?...Pls someone give a clue what is happening here -
I got a intel b250 motherboard from a friend that has a broken off vcc(power) pin. i tried to power it on and the fans start to spin, everything seems to work except any output whatsoever i had the idea to rip off one of the reserved pins but i dont know how to read the layout diagrams that i can foud on the internet. can someonne tell me which pin i can use?

My Specs, Case: Zebronics ZEB-555B [Slim] PSU: Zebronics ZEB-ML450W (DSATA) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H [BIOS Version F10] Processor: Intel Core i7-7700 CPU Cooler: Intel Stock Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 8GB DDR4 2400MHz SSD: Samsung 960 EVO 500GB PCIe NVMe WiFi: TP-Link Archer T4E AC1200 PCIe Card Fans: 3 x 60mm (2 Bottom Intakes & 1 Top Exhaust) & 1 x 80mm (Intake over CPU Cooler) [All Dust Filtered] Display: Samsung 55" H6400 FullHD TV. My i7 is a 65W CPU & I want to run it at a lower TDP because of 2 reasons; lower, temp & power consumption. Currently my i7 is running at 54C Idle & spikes sporadically to high 70s under load. This is because the case is very slim & its really hard to circulate air within it. The power consumption is approximately 30W at Idle & 70W under load. I entered my BIOS to find any option that will allow me to run my i7 at a lower temp & power. I disabled Intel Turbo Boost, Hyper Threading & a few more settings. I retested & the number were somewhat acceptable. But then I saw a few options; Package Power Limit, Platform Power Limit & Power Limit under the M.I.T. > Advanced Frequency Settings > Advanced CPU Core Settings. All the above settings were set to Auto & I couldn't change them. So can someone please tell me how can I change these settings? I am using this system mainly for watching movies (either stored on the SSD or from my NAS). Most of the movies are in 1080p & a few are in 4K, but almost all of them are in x265. I occasionally watch a few 1080p YouTube video, but I don't do any type of multi-tasking on this system. I don't use this system for anything other than media consumption; no gaming, no video editing, no rendering & no video encoding etc. My objective is to find a sweat spot between best performance & lowest temp along with lowest power consumption. -

I recently had a budget upgrade on my gaming rig. Now I have: MSI PC MATE B250 16GB 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance DDR4 (2nd hand) Intel Pentium G4560 Kaby Lake The rest doesn't matter here, right? (Correct me if I'm wrong) So the mb allows up to 2400MHz RAM speed which is currently running after activating XMP. But can I use more of the capabilities of my RAM? In other words: can I overclock the ram controller to achieve higher clocks? -
Try to tell me one sub 80$ If possible

So I dont understand why the B and H series motherboards seem to have a max ram speed of around 2400 mhz when a z series motherboard can have much higher. I understand that the z series is better but why do the ram speeds have to be so slow? Is 2400mhz fast enough as currently i see 3000 mhz to be a normal speed?

Since the recent unfortunate developments with Ryzen I'm not keeping my hopes up too high for their quad cores that I had planned to buy. So I'm making a Kaby Lake backup plan but have stumbled upon an issue that research alone hasn't answered. Most suggest avoiding H270 Motherboards as the 20 PCIE Lanes they offer aren't needed for someone using a i5-7500 & a single GPU. Will only 12 PCIE Lanes on a B250 Motherboard be enough if I plan to one day add a wireless network card & or a PCIE NVME SSD?

Kaby-lake is mostly disappointing, but the Pentium G4560 is a very interesting release. I'm looking into building a low budget gaming PC and have decided to use a new Kaby lake Pentium G4560 I will likely use a B250 chipset (Unless someone knows of a cheap Motherboard with a better 200-series chipset). I have found 2 which seem good: B250M PRO-VDH or B250M-DS3H but as this will be my first build, I am unsure what exactly i should be looking for in a Motherboard

I can't decide between Gigabyte's Ultra Durable motherboards GA-B250M-DS3H, GA-H270M-D3H and GA-Z270-HD3. What are the main differences? Which one's better? I've been checking Gigabyte's website and I found this differences: Back connectors, internal connectors, form factor and audio. I think all of them have what I need, but maybe you can find something else... I'll appreciate your suggestions.

I have a Cooler master hyper 412s, what fan do they use, i can't find one so i can use it in push pull.I have an i7 7700k and don't need more power than it has at stock speed, it has alot more power than the i7 7700 non k so it makes sense to buy the 7700k over the i7 7700 non k.Don't need to oc,sli or raid so i have an Msi B250M mb.What im extremly surprised about is that it seems i can't lower vcore Msi BiosI can run it at 1.135 volt at 4.5 ghz (different mb and brand) but stock or 4.4ghz (it runs that most of the time) it's something like 1.160-1.176 volt and CPU IO voltage and CPU PLL overvoltage lowered 0.010volt make it run at 1.200 volt without c state enabled (eist/speedstep always disabled) . WHY?Another thing is that it seems i can't get it to stay at 4.4ghz or between 4.2ghz as a minimum and 4.5ghz as maximum, it sometimes goes down til 800mhz but stays at 4.4ghz most of the time when i have enabled the lowest,most subtle c-state C0.My reason for going matx was to get a smaller pc but also better airflow not a closed pc (silent case), 6½ hours later same temps horrible cable management (didn't look good), i put it back in my define r5 a few min later and sent the maxt case back today.Stay at stock speed 4.2ghz and turbo at 4.5ghz with low voltage, is that possible? -
Will B250 with Intel Pentium G4560 run 8 GB 2666mhz RAM?

Hi everyone, I am in the process of building my first PC - primarily for gaming. Below are my build specs: - i5-7600k (Already purchased) - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (Already purchased) - MSI b250 PC Mate OR MSI Z270-A PRO - Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 2400 - WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM - ADATA Ultimate SU800 128GB SSD (Already purchased) - MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB (Already purchased) - Corsair RMx 650W (Already purchased) - Cooler Master MasterBox 5 White Mid (Already purchased) From your experience does this seem like a good start? I feel like the Z270 mobo will be better for future proofing the build, but I've heard that the B250 PC Mate is a decent mobo as well. Any suggestions for that as well as the RAM? Thanks

Thanks

ASRock B250M Pro4 vs Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H: Which should I choose?
Guest posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hello everyone, I'm building a computer right now, and I'm looking at the two motherboards mentioned in the title right now, leaning towards the Gigabyte board. I'm leaning towards the Gigabyte board because it has 3 case fan headers, which seems to be pretty rare for the mATX B250 boards, which would be nice because my case comes with 3 fans and I'd like to have positive airflow in the case. Additionally, it has the backup BIOS feature, and a decent amount of ports for expansion in the future, amongst other nice features. The cheapest you can get it for right now is $79.99, compared to getting the ASRock motherboard for $74.99, which leads me into my next topic. The ASRock board only has 2 case fan headers (and I know you can get fan head splitters, but that would cost more than an additional $5.00 for the Gigabyte board). It also doesn't have a back-up BIOS, or even a flashback function from what I've seen, and has less ports overall if I recall correctly. It does have two M.2 slots, but I don't plan on utilizing those any time soon, but a feature I did like was the armored I/O ports. So what would you go for in this case? I've read over all the specs and features of both, but I've only listed the things that are really affecting my decision. I've also heard the quality of ASRock is a little worse than Gigabyte, but that was from something in 2015, so I don't know if things have changed. All feedback is appreciated. Thanks! -
Hi, I'm planning to build my new pc using Intel i5 7500 processor. I'm aiming to use either ASRock b250 pro4 or Asus Prime b250m A motherboard One thing that baffles me is the CPU power connector, the Asus one has 4 pins, the ASRock has 8 pins Is there a big difference between these two? Must I take this into account? Which is better, 4 or 8? And by the way I will not be over clocking Thank You

hi, i'm currently using 4GBx2 2400MHz kit with this chipset with a kaby lake processor. i'm going to upgrade to 8GBx2 kit. if i buy ram faster than 2400 (XMP ram) will it run on the advertised speed or will it downclock to 2400 because of chipset limitations. just wondering will b250 run the ram on 2666/2800/3000/3200 (XMP enabled)? i dont want to waste money to buy faster ram if the chipset did not support. btw my mobo do support XMP. any help is totally appreciated.

Hi, I 'm planning to upgrade my old PC (almost 10 years) and decided to just keep the case and HDD's. The upgrade components are listed below: NEW COMPONENTS: - Core i5 7500 - Asus B250F motherboard - HyperX Fury 2400 8 GB RAM - Micron/Samsung 250GB M.2 SSD - Gigabyte 1050ti graphics card - Cooler Master MWE Bronze 550W Power Supply OLD COMPONENTS: - Chieftec mid tower case (this is pretty good even for today, screwless installation inside and rock solid chassis) - 1TB and 500GB 7200 RPM WD HDD's Some people advised against i5 7500 but coffee lake is still not available in my country and these things always arrive late in the market in India and as for Ryzen, that are a lot of reviews that suggests that it has problems memory/ram speed consistency. Any suggestions? should i make any changes to this build or go ahead with it? I'm a casual gamer and will be using this PC for some music production work.

Hey there, I need some assistance for my budget build. I am going to get the B250M MORTAR board from MSI, but I do not know nor cannot find the dimensions of the board. My case supports 9.6' x 9.6' and I am wondering if anyone knows this motherboards dimensions. -Thanks, Jack.

Hello, I would like to use this M.2 drive: http://www.ebuyer.com/766047-samsung-250gb-960-evo-m-2-ssd-mz-v6e250bw (Samsung 250GB 960 Evo M.2 SSD) Which runs in PCIe 3.0 x4 NVM Express mode. The board I'm using is: http://www.ebuyer.com/769574-asus-intel-prime-b250-pro-lga-1151-atx-motherboard-prime-b250-pro (Asus Intel PRIME B250-PRO LGA 1151) Which states that it has an M.2 slot, and that it operates in SATA or PCIe mode, and then says it supports Intel RST or PCIE x4 mode. That all sounds good, but it doesnt seem to mentione NVMe anywhere.. A direct quote from the baord summary: - 1 x M.2_1 Socket 3 with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support(both SATA & PCIE x2 mode)* - 1 x M.2_2 Socket 3 with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support(Intel RST support, PCIEX4 mode)** *(1) When an M.2 device in PCIE mode is installed, PCIE x16_2 slot only runs @ x1 mode and SATA6G_1 port is enabled. **(2) When an M.2 device in SATA mode is installed, the M.2 device uses the SATA6G_1 bandwidth. SATA6G_1 port is disabled. Could anyone shed some light on whether NVMe even matters in this case? Does the fact that the board supports PCI3.0 x4 mode on its M.2 slot mean that it will just work regardless? Also, if it does work, I will want to use it as my boot drive, will that be ok? As I have heard some things about booting from NVMe addin cards before, not sure if M.2 slots are similarly affected? Thanks all! Dave.

I want to help my friend building a budget gaming pc but he has a really low budget so we find this cheap motherboard but we can't tell if it has overclocking capabilities. Can anyone verify does it has any overclocking potential?

So i updated my bios on my system ( MSI B250m PRO-VD and pentium g4560) and i believe it failed. It boots, the leds on the motherboard light up, the keyboard and mouse light up. BUT there is no signal to my monitor (HDMI to DVI). Im at a point where im not sure if i cooked the bios or not. I have had bios issues one other time on a z77 system and it did not post or anything. So im not to sure what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
