Question How will this A520 board handle a 105w CPU?

I would be fine with it if it can run a 8 core chip like I said, but I had hoped to be able to upgrade if needed down the line. I was questioning if it can even run a 12/16 core chip at max speeds reliably with it's VRM to ensure an 8 core would not be an issue. I can afford a more expensive...

I assume you meant a 5600x? This board doesn't support the 1600x. Whew that's pretty bad then lol. It basically doesn't support anything on their supported list if it can't run a 6-core with PBO. I can always send it back. Seemed like a steal for $40 though, oh well.

Question How will this A520 board handle a 105w CPU?

I got this board here for $40: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/A520Mac/index.asp#CPU It was a decent deal I thought for 40 with built in WiFi. I'm fully aware of the limitations of the A520 chipset vs the higher end ones, but I am a power user and I'd like to put the best chip I can into it...

What is the maximum price you will pay for next gen?

I guess everyone sees value differently. Right, now is the cheapest you will ever buy an Xbox Series IMO. At least, in relation to actual cost compared to other technology on the market. You can't build a PC that competes with the XSX for $500. You will need to spend at least $500 alone on a...

Xbox Series X

Yeah, I agree that Game Pass is an amazing price. Assuming it doesn't see some massive price increases after they start leveling off on subscriber base. I am a person that buys physical copies of games whenever I can. I still to this day prefer physical. I have myself and 2 kids who play...

Xbox Series X

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. The RAM difference doesn't concern me or the 200Mhz CPU both of those things a negligible. 200Mhz is nothing and 1440p should need no where near the same RAM capacity as 4K. I'm wondering if real world I'll see any real difference in experience on my...

Xbox Series X

I'm a little confused by that? Everything I have read said the internals were identical, outside of the GPU in the Series S targeting 1440p and the X targeting 4k? I was under the impression if I had an S my game would run the same framerate say 120fps 1440p on a particular game, while the X...

Xbox Series X

Just looking for opinions here. I have a HP Omen 32" 1440P monitor that is 75Hz. It can apparently run 90Hz pretty regularly if overclocked from guides online, but I've never attempted that yet. Is there any real reason I should not just get a Series S instead of a Series X? The only...

Question Are than any routers that allow me to use my iPhone as a modem?

The phone carrier and plan are still the same. The router software communicates with Android fine, but Apple seems to have some proprietary software in place. The Asus software specifically lists Android as well with no mention of Apple. I fear with the limited responses this is just...

Question Are than any routers that allow me to use my iPhone as a modem?

I have two AC1900 Asus routers in my home that allow you to tether in an Android based phone/device and broadcast your 3G/4G internet connection throughout your home. I recently bought a new iPhone SE just because it was so cheap after promos for the specs. I'm not an Apple fan or an Apple...

Question 1600watt PSU... What can i reasonably build?

Yeah, I guess nothing these days really requires anything like this. I thought about old dual-cpu boards and stuff, but that would just be a waste. Maybe a threadripper would need it if overclocked? I've heard they use much more than their TDP under load? And yeah Vega uses about 150w...

Question 1600watt PSU... What can i reasonably build?

So, I used to mine altcoins and have a 1600w EVGA Titanium PSU laying around from that just sitting here collecting dust. My proceeds from mining paid for it so I'm really just trying to utilize it in something productive to either use or sell. I've built many machines and never really needed...

Question Ryzen 1600AF Overclock. RAM or IMC Slowing me down?

Just wanted to clarify here since thor suggested I actually tighten timings at a lower ram speed. From what I've read regarding Ryzen would it not be more beneficial for me to run a loser timing at a higher speed if the effective latency is the same because it also increases the infinity...

Question Ryzen 1600AF Overclock. RAM or IMC Slowing me down?

Thanks for the replys. Memory overclocking has long been something I've neglected to fully learn and understand I'll definitely go over all the information posted. I'm totally happy with the ram at 2666 or 2733 considering it's base specs it's hard to complain. I just wasn't sure how to...

Question Ryzen 1600AF Overclock. RAM or IMC Slowing me down?

I recently got a 1600AF and I've been playing with it a little on a Asrock B450M Pro4. I had a junk set of DDR4 laying around that I used for the build so I didn't have to waste money on memory. It's a patriot set 4gbx2 with Spectek (Micron) chips and is dual rank, 2133, CL15 rated @ 1.2v...
