The 2400g works on any motherboard made in the last two years.

Whitest Russian posted:Is this the time to upgrade my 6600k? It's a pretty good time to be building a new pc right now in terms of price. RAM and SSD prices are the lowest they've ever been. Just last year 16 gigs of ram was like $180 and now you can do it for $60. The Ryzen 2600 + mobo will be around $200 and will last for years. New video cards are plentiful and in stock everywhere selling at or below msrp since the crypto thing crashed hard.

Enos Cabell posted:Thanks, read too many contradictory comments in user reviews and got myself all confused. Oooooh, there is a very slight chance that your b350 motherboard won't work with the 2400g out of the box. If it's been left on the shelf since 2017 then it might not have the bios update. At this point I would get a b450 board at the least to make sure it's compatible. e: i think you updated it. Looks good. Mu Zeta fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Nov 12, 2019 |

Whitest Russian posted:I'm mostly trying to decide if I want to get some decent Ryzen sale during Black Friday/Cyber Monday or if I should wait for Zen 3 to be released in early 2020 supposedly. If I was waiting for Zen 3 I'd be reading reviews and user experiences for at least 3-4 months after release before purchasing. New architecture is always more expensive and AMD stated they plan to beef up the pricing next year since they are doing so well. They also always have numerous bugs to work out. Frankly the Ryzen 3000 launch was a confusing clusterfuck and I fully expect it to happen again. No need to be a guinea pig, let others tear their hair out trying to make new poo poo work. I'd just wait to see if there are any black friday deals and if not, just get a 3000 system anyway since they are pretty stable now.

Yall realize the 2080 ti costs over $1,000 right? Like, just the video card alone. $1,000.

You might have purchased from a third party but was shipped from Amazon. They do that a lot and try to hide it. Zac efron store is a really good name.

Butt Ghost posted:So here’s the build I’m aiming for. It’s modified based on what orange juche sent me earlier. I decided to put in the Ryzen 3700X because its multi-threading gives it a leg up when it comes to emulating more strenuous titles. You have 4 ram slots so just add another 16 gigs later if you really need it. I like the Meshify for better airflow.

I feel like ray tracing will be a big push with the next gen console refresh. So like 5 years from now with the PS5 Pro.

You have a mini itx board going into a micro atx case. I mean it works but I'm sure you can have a more efficient use of space. Are you attached to the matx form factor? Because that case isn't all that compact from what I've seen and the regular Meshify C is pretty close while being able to use a full atx board.

Hardware Unboxed says the B450 Tomahawk runs even the 3950x very well which is a $700 processor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J69aiJJEHzQ

The USB adapters apparently suck. You can get a good wifi/bt pcie card for around $30. I opted to just buy a mobo with wifi built in.

Might as well wait a few days to see if there are any black friday sales on those parts. Also you can just buy the normal Noctua CPU cooler because they come with AM4 brackets now out of the box. It's $50. https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-L9...6MD84TXWYTHFQJ4 Mu Zeta fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Nov 21, 2019 |

Minimum ram requirements for Half Life 3/Alyx is 12 gigs of ram. Might be time to just get 32 gigs.

A lot of b450 motherboards have bios updates that improve ram compatibility as well. So if your ram isn't running at the advertised speeds try updating the bios before returning it. My motherboard just had an update last week still tweaking the ram stuff.

Schadenboner posted:Are there any decent mATX B450s if I'm going to want to slap a 3700X in it (not much overclocking) or should I still go with the (ATX-only) Tomahawk MAX? There is an MSI b450m Max board that's compatible out of the box https://www.amazon.com/MSI-ProSeries-Motherboard-B450M-PRO-VDH/dp/B07XH629TV But I think mATX is pretty much dead at this point.

You'll be able to get a Ryzen 3600, B450 mobo, and 16gigs of DDR4 3200mhz RAM for under $400 and it will last you for years.

The Max does support it. Don't worry about audio you can't tell the difference unless you have really fancy speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gejkP3PhrCo&t=1551s Mu Zeta fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Nov 26, 2019 |

Pylons posted:Made a few small revisions to the build I posted yesterday. Mostly got talked out of the 2080 Super, and swapped the Supernova G3 for the Corsair. e: was wrong about PSU. Looks good but I don't think the Sandisk is all that amazing a deal. I rather have an NVME ssd and maybe a 1TB sata ssd to go with it like a Crucial MX500.

spamman posted:You guys really helped me put the below together a month and a half ago, but friends convinced me to wait for Black Friday sales to actually buy it. Looking at the posts above things don't seem to have changed much, but is there anything I should think about changing? I'm after a very quiet PC that can manage up to 1440 gaming. You could save a chunk of money getting the 1660 Super. It's almost the same performance, like maybe 5% slower. I see one of them for $385 aud.

No. Just buy a $300 Intel Nuc and slap a 128gig ssd in there and some cheap ram. Probably don't even need dual channel.

X13Fen posted:Hey guys, Just be prepared that your mobo might not work with the Ryzen 3600 out of the box. In order to do a BIOS update you need a Ryzen 1000 or 2000 processor. But if the mobo was manufactured in the last couple months it will have the compatible BIOS on it.

My Asus Strix B450-I came with rgb lights and you can just turn them off in the BIOS. I don't think most motherboards come with lights at all.

MagusDraco posted:The tomahawk max is already updated to work with the Ryzen 3xxx chips so you're good there. He has the regular Tomahawk in the partspicker list so make sure you switch to the Tomahawk Max. It's only $5 more. Also better off with faster 3200mhz ram. 32 is overkill and it's easy to upgrade later anyway. https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Veng...MSD2QCK9VFGGFAW Mu Zeta fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Nov 30, 2019 |

If the two sets of RAM have different speeds then both will run at the slower speed. So if you bought fancier 2x8 sticks it won't run as fast as it could if your 2x4gb is slower.

If the most intensive thing you do is games then16 is more than enough. But ram is cheap now. Just get it. Mu Zeta fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Nov 30, 2019 |
