I ended up getting this board. They're now shipping with BIOS 3.4 and they've added a sticker to the box to say its "AMD RYZEN 3000 DESKTOP READY".
Figured this could be relevant to someone in the future.
Thanks again everyone for your help.
Something I don't like reading is the warning about some B450's needing a BIOS flash to work with R5 3600. is there any what to know for sure which do and don't need this? I won't have a separate CPU to do the flash with so it's not a problem I want to have to deal with.
Max to spend on a mobo would be around $120-130 (USD).
Are all the B450 boards generally the same? Does the "MAX" part of the recommended MSI board mean something sepcial?
I've decided to go the mini-ITX route.
Any thoughts on these:
Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI
ASRock Fatal1ty B450...
I just had a look at pricing, 570 boards are beyond what I want to spend as are AMD 3600 chips.
So I guess I want total budget, not budgetish. I currently run an i3-3220 and GTX 460 so even with super budget components It will be a big upgrade I think. Will probably pick up a used 1050 or...
I'm looking at the i3-9100F or the i5-9400F. When I look at the performance of comparably priced AMD chips the Intel's perform better.
I'm open to anything though as long as the performance and cost line up comparably. I was a big AMD supporter back in the day.
I see this processor for a pretty good deal. From what I have read the F means it doesn't have/support onboard graphics. I always plan to use a separate video card so for my application will the performance be the exact same as the i3-9100? I'm looking at a savings of roughly $50 (CDN).
I need to build a new PC. It's been a while. I'm so out of the loop and there's so much to read. What I was hoping was for some suggestions for a budgetish MB that could handle upgraded CPUs in the future. Not sure about going with Intel or AMD. FPS gaming like Counter-Strike will be the...
I'm just assuming the motherboard doesn't support Windows 8 as I don't see any drivers for Windows 8 on the Asus website and when I do a google search I can't find anything that confirms it's compatible. I also read somewhere that the P5KC doesn't even support Windows 7 if it was built before a...
Hey folks, it's been many years since I last posted on here. I used to be really into computers/hardware but ever since the wife and kids came along I've lost interest/time in the computing world. It's finally time for a "major" upgrade to my PC.
Current Specs:
Asus P5KC
Intel E6500...
So I can't stand how slow this netbook is with windows 7 starter. It's just brutal. I was thinking if I put XP on it it might work better, not to mention I much prefer XP over 7 anyways. I've found lots of guides online on how to create a booting USB thumb drive to install XP from. I've...
I've reset the firewall to default and it changes everything on the network to maximum protection. The computer doesn't get assigned an address and it can no longer connect to the internet. I have to set it to DMZplus to get a connection.
