I quit them over a year ago for their antics and haven't regretted it a bit. The last straw was them fighting a return for over $200 and went through my CC instead with a dispute to get the refund. They have gotten a lot shadier in how they conduct business.Amazon has been a nightmare
DeepCool was banned from the U.S. so I assume the consumer warranty is void.How about you? Howz the LT720 working for you? I guess you are using it just for higher boost speeds and not OCing? How loud do its fans get?
I realized that I need a boot drive not long afterwards, I don’t but I’m going to see if I can go get one from Best Buy before work. Idr seeing csm but it shows the latest bios update as of late may 2024 so I don’t think I have an issue there.Do you have a bootable Win10/11 setup USB created properly using Media Creation Tool or Rufus?
Can't see if CSM is turned on but if it is turned on, you need to turn it off and enable UEFI. CSM is for older OSes like Windows 7 or even older.
With UEFI boot enabled, it should read the USB and boot from it and start the Windows setup.
Yeah and you need to prepare it with the latest ISO with Rufus or format and create the bootable USB directly with Media Creation tool. This can only be done on a spare PC or laptop.I realized that I need a boot drive not long afterwards
I needed a flash drive anyways, so I called a local repair shop and they made one for me and tested it. I’ll get everything running once I’m off work!Yeah and you need to prepare it with the latest ISO with Rufus or format and create the bootable USB directly with Media Creation tool.

The side was a bit tight for cable management, but no problems other than that! Didn’t have to shove anything in.Build looks good! So the Shift PSU worked in that case OK?
I don’t have anything as of now. I’m building a computer for my son, as a Christmas gift. He’s young and really only cares to play Minecraft/roblox as of now, it’s more that he’s interested in computers. That being said I’m trying to keep a budget of $500 or less, considering I still need to purchase peripherals. From what I’ve found, soyo is a Chinese company that’s known for its reliability. I’ve just seen a lot thrown around between the 3600 and 5500 so I was just asking if this combo is fine. Also i haven’t found a clear cut answer but the two cpus seem to need b450 and b550 motherboards, so i just want to be sure before i pull the trigger on everythingWhat's the question?
Assuming you already have the 5500 installed it's a matter of the GPU giving the desired output for the games being played. The GPU should have a pairing recommendation for max benefit.
Never heard of Soyo though but, looking at a listing for it on NE it seems a bit cheap @ $162
The models I've seen thrown around for AMD GPUs though usually are 6/7000 series cards.
There's an XFX 16GB for $320
It's all subjective though at this point if you already have the card. I wouldn't spend the $162 for an older card when the latest ones are a smidge more. A lot changes over time when it comes to the guts of cards and CPUs.
In short is this gpu/cpu combo good or is there something better for the moneyI don’t have anything as of now. I’m building a computer for my son, as a Christmas gift.

I actually looked into used gpus more last night and found a solid deal on a 6600 from a well reviewed eBay seller. It seems like it should be a better option and actually save me a bit of money as well.To hit a low price point, you'll probably need to buy a used GPU. It is generally not advisable to buy an RX 5700 XT at this time.*
Alternately Minecraft/Roblox should run on an AMD APU like the Ryzen 5 8600G. You could always get a discrete graphics card later if he wants to play demanding games.
Hope I picked the right one, but check out this video?
* It's really hard to know what you're going to be getting. Can you really trust that "Soyo" will honor its warranty? Don't do it.
The ideal speed is 3733. You could probably get there easily by relaxing the timings to CL20.Silicon power 16gb rgb ram kit(3600 cl18) the rgb is more important to him than the most ideal speed.
Thanks Igor! I’m definitely still trying to figure out what a lot of this means, it’s almost like learning a new language. I was under the impression lower was better, until seeing a video yesterday that explained that amd processors don’t always like the lowest/highest numbersThe ideal speed is 3733. You could probably get there easily by relaxing the timings to CL20.
