QUOTE(faisal1305 @ Feb 18 2019, 07:36 PM) Grab something like a MSI/ASRock (avoid both ASUS and Gigabyte) B450, according to Hardware Unboxed:Might be useful to have some VRM cooling too (use exhaust fans on the top of the case, along with the rear end) to keep the VRMs cool Something like this would do: https://www.lazada.com.my/products/asrock-f...554bHlkPKC&mp=1 This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Feb 18 2019, 11:12 PM |

QUOTE(kamechi @ Jul 17 2019, 10:15 PM) Hi please help, im in dilema choosing right RAM. Im going to build: RAM QVL means that the RAMs have been tested and verified working by the board manufacturer themselves. Due to the fact that it is impossible to test every RAM kit, RAMs that are not on the QVL will work just as well, as long as it is compatible with the board. My machine uses a 3000MHz G. Skill memory that is not on the QVL and it works just fine. Even XMP works perfectly too CPU: 3700x Mobo: B450 Tomahawk / Steel legend as for RAM, i saw many of you choose "TRIDENT Z RGB (AMD)", is this good? i couldn't find this one in Asrock QVL list,if i go with Steel Legend can i still use it? alternatively, im actually eyeing on HyperX 16GB(8GBx2) 3200MHz Predator @ 433. will this good enough? Must i buy the kit? or any 2x 8gb will works? This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Jul 19 2019, 03:50 AM |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Aug 13 2019, 08:53 AM) Viewnet does not sell second hand parts. Nvidia? GTX 1650 more expensive and less performance. I'm not too sure about the Tomahawk board as Ryzen 3000 support has been a hit or miss on that board due to BIOS chip limitations - it might be better to check with the seller whether the MAX version is coming here How about these? AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - 1399 MSI B450 Tomahawk - 519 Kingston HyperX Predator 16GB DDR4-3200 Kit - 459 MSI RTX 2060 6GB Ventus XS - 1680 Adata SX8200 Pro 512GB - 339 Seagate 2TB - 249 Super Flower Leadex II Gold 750W - 499 Fractal Design Meshify C case - 435 LG 24MK430H 24" - 419 RM5998 total (C-Zone prices) |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Aug 19 2019, 03:56 PM) I would advise against buying RM1k rig, even with light gaming capabilities. If he is adventurous he can even try to build a PC using used PC parts/Aliexpress parts AMD Ryzen 3 2200G - 379 Asrock A320M-HDV R3.0 - 200 Kingston 4GB DDR4-2666 X1 - 89 WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 169 Thermaltake Litepower 450W - 119 Tecware M2 TG M-ATX BLK - 125 RM1081 total (C-Zone prices) I always tell my friends. No money dont buy. Old platforms like X79/LGA1155 might be quite helpful here, however the issue is old HEDT platforms like X79 can be a power hog and requires expensive PSUs to run Also the low clock speeds of HEDT CPUs at that time can significantly reduce gaming performance too This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Aug 20 2019, 01:22 AM |

QUOTE(jiant @ Aug 18 2019, 08:36 PM) Quite a few ways that is:1. Either add a PCI-E WiFi/Bluetooth combo card, just like llk mentioned 2. Or buy a USB WiFi adapter and a Bluetooth adapter (this will take up two USB ports, however) |

QUOTE(Kristal.S @ Aug 19 2019, 03:51 PM) Usually for the least amount of headaches (for older chipsets, you might have to deal with things like BIOS/AGESA updates, which can be a pain to some), go with a X570. B450/X470 boards will do just fine, but make sure to ask the seller whether the motherboard box comes with an orange Ryzen 3000 ready sticker before buying one. Boards with that sticker will mean you can just install the CPU without doing a BIOS update Once you have your machine up and running - it's important to install the latest BIOS as BIOS updates often fix a lot of issues |

QUOTE(Kristal.S @ Aug 20 2019, 11:52 AM) Go for this: https://shopee.com.my/XPG-256GB-SX8200-PRO-...6108.2163815610 M.2 is just the form factor. The M.2 slot needs to NVME capable - some M.2 slots are only SATA capable Make sure the mobo you get supports m.2. Check with the motherboard manufacturer on which type of M.2 slot the board has Some CPUs such as Athlon 200GE may limit the M.2 speed as well This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Aug 20 2019, 01:55 PM |

QUOTE(jiant @ Aug 20 2019, 01:55 PM) Because the pcie one need another connection to usb header but my motherboard only have one.. If you don't mind not having Bluetooth - you can just not connect the USB headers And if I do so I can't use my front usb. WiFi is connected via PCIE, whereas Bluetooth connectivity is dealt with a USB interface I think this one may work: https://www.lazada.com.my/products/xjing-mo...YMAVzv&search=1 Also you might want to look at Intel's AX200NGW PCI-E WiFi adapter if you can This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Aug 20 2019, 02:01 PM |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Aug 23 2019, 01:26 AM) How about these? Might be better to drop the RTX2070 Super for a RX5700XT Pulse for RM1959 - similar performance for less AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - 1399 Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite - 1029 G.Skill TridentZ AMD 16GB DDR4-3600 kit - 549 Zotac RTX 2070 Super 8GB DDR6 Twin Fan - 2379 Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB - 339 Seagate 2TB - 249 Super Flower Leadex II Gold 750W - 499 Fractal Design Meshify C case - 435 Viewsonic VX2758-C 27" - 859 Edifier M3200 2.1 speakers - 249 (estimated) Logitech G100S mouse and keyboard combo - RM110 (estimated) RM8096 total (C-Zone prices) Haggles for reduced prices. Got some discount for buying everything from same shop. You might wanna look around for monitor as well. I don't keep up with that. Then use the remaining for a bigger SSD or a better monitor |

QUOTE(Current Events guy @ Aug 23 2019, 05:23 PM) Not sure - might be helpful to ask lingloong The ASUS Strix would be the only one that has a triple fan setup and is available here, but I don't recommend it as it is one of the worst non-reference RX5700/XT you can get and is very overpriced as well (RM2500 for a RX 5700 XT Strix) Sapphire's Pulse might have only 2 fans but it outperforms the ASUS in terms of noise and thermals, and it is a more compact card as well It's also worth noting that the 5700 XT can perform very close to a 2070 Super, BTW This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Aug 23 2019, 05:31 PM |

QUOTE(WillSmith @ Sep 12 2019, 12:38 AM) Hi all sifu, Need more opinion on choosing my amd processor and asus motherboard. Pairing a CH7/CH8 with a 3600? It just looks incredibly unbalanced My PC mostly for video editing and photo editing not so much on gaming. Wish to have Low power consumption and low temperature processor. So which processor should i go for AMD ryzen 2600 or 3600? As for motherboard i like Asus very much. So should i go for CH7 Hero or CH8 Hero ( saw both on shopee Dotatech was selling CH7 below 1k and castleit selling CH8 around 1.8k. Or go for Asus X570-F Strix instead? Save that money and grab something like MSI's B450 Tomahawk instead along with a Ryzen 7 3700X Budget for the CPU/board combo? |
