I got RGB strips and the spire led from thr r7 1700 but when I use the asrock software for the ab350 pro4 the colors are way off. For example when I select the following: red = it displays purples no colors = it displays blue yellow = it displays "white" green = it displays cyan Strobe (multi colors) = it only displays blue and teal I tried switching the connector on the motherboard but it displays no colors... IDK if its broken or what not but all the RGBs are workign since I can get both purple and teal fine.. AB350

Does it have to be microatx? From what I seen there's a high chance of getting a faulty board, especially with the ab350m pro4 based off reviews on newegg. The atx version of the pro4 however has lesser issues and is $75 and the x370 pro4 at is $90

Depends, some manufacturers like ASRock preload their 1st gen ryzen motherboards with bios updates for ryzen 2. There's also the possibility of getting a board before they started updating for ryzen 2 tho so I would look into newer boards

Well I have a gtx 1060 and I don't plan to do multi gpus for my next upgrade so think I should be fine.

Tbh I knew the new CPUs were coming out but I got a deal for the 1700 for only like $200 so I pulled the trigger.

@seon123 will the different chipsets effect anything regarding gaming or productivity if I have the same clock speeds on both boards?

My ASRock b350 pro4 is arriving today and I just realized that ASRock has an x370 pro4 for the same price of $90 w/o mail in rebate. Is there any glaring differences between the two boards? Based on the pictures they literally look like the same board with same specifications. Btw I have the ryzen 7 1700 and I might oc but not anything higher than 3.8 (since I will not probably not change stock cooler anytime soon).

Enable dsr in shadowplay for 4k so GPU is used more for gaming performance. I would plan to upgrade to a new CPU cuz this set-up is kind unbalanced atm

Really the best one is the cheapest one, i would just get which looks best to you at the cheapest price. Just make sure you dont get "DT" EVGA cards and you should be fine.

neither if you are considering intel. I would wait for coffee lake

I know it might be a drivers issue, but has anyone noticed that vega 64 actually performs WORSE in almost every dx12 application compared to gtx 1080 (according to guru3d data)? I can see why someone would buy a vega 56 since it is actually better than a 1070, but the vega 64 seems kind of pointless... like why would i buy a 450w card over a 1080 which basically performs the same (which will most likely get a price cut?). It seems more of a novelty item tbh

ryzen, especially since you are rendering its a no brainer. BTW tho youcan get a ryzen 7 under 300 i believe if you look around

damn hopefully it gets fixed soon

its the monkey one i saw some in reddit complaining too: 500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

I dont really think this case needs fans. My mom has a passively cooled pc (except PSU) around your size and it runs fine. What are your CPU temps?
