I just built myself a long-overdue HTPC rig with Asrock A300, Ryzen 2200G, ADATA SX8200 Pro NVMe SSD and some 8GB memory. I don't have a Bluray library so I won't be bothered with playing movie from a disc. But I can tell you Win 7 is not (yet/really) supported for these AMD Ryzen APUs.
I'm...
With Ryzen 3000 series being released in July, are you sure your friend couldn't wait for 1-2 more months?
Believe it or not, I'm still on the same Athlon II X2 560 rig that I built in 2009 (10 years old) but quickly turned into quad core in no time. I mean the original PSU worked for 4 years...
Hi, Larry! I've no doubt you're tech savvy - been seeing you around here a lot. Hence, a Lifer! ;D
Actually, I think you're right and you just gave me an idea how to install Win 7 64-bit on my rig. That dude from reddit had MSI B350 mobo and probably a RX 560 dGPU. Will definitely try it once I...
Hello guys, I just bought the following components and I'm trying to install Win 7 but I always got the BSOD and bootloop.
- Asrock A300
- AMD Raven Ridge 2200G
- 2 x PC19200 4GB V-Gen 2400 MHz
- ADATA SX8200 PRO 256GB NVMe SSD
At first, I tried installing Windows 7 using the MSI Smart tool to...
Sorry if I'm off-topic, but my aftermarket heatsink from Sandy Bridge CPU can be used for CL also, yes?
Edit: The box says "compatible with Intel LGA775/1156/1366 mounting clips".
Thanks for the responses, guys! I think I will use Intel HD610 iGPU found in G4560 and try to sell my GTS450 later because I will be playing back movies more than gaming. Next question is if I should use stock Intel cooler or upgrade to a bigger heatsink if I use both the CPU and iGPU? I have...
Hi all, I am building a new rig and I'm wondering if I should keep my Geforce GTS 450 from my old rig or use the new Intel HD 610/630 from my new CPU G4560/G4600. I only do casual gaming like CS:GO and movie playback. My concern is some people said that the x265 hardware encoding lies in the...
Like someone has said, too bad Tom's hardware didn't get the chance to review overclocked G3258 against G4560 and G4560 vs G4600 vs G4620 using iGPU only.
For someone like me who is planning to use the iGPU, is it worth waiting/buying the G4600 instead of the G4560?
3. The ASUS Thermal Control Tool has now been ported into UEFI and can be used to configure profiles for light and heavy (non-AVX) workloads to extend CPU core overclocking margins on air and water cooling by up to 300MHz.
Sorry for the noob question, but does anyone know if Asrock has the same...
Is there any guarantee this thing will work with Intel G4560/G4600?
How does the bandwidth between 288-pin DDR4 desktop memory and 260-pin DDR notebook memory compare at 2400 Mhz and comparable CAS/memory timings? Are they different just in size/form factor?
Yes, the Cubi 2 Plus accepts standard desktop Skylake CPU but uses DDR4 260-pin notebook memory.
I wish it were compatible with G4560/G4600.Oh well, maybe MSI will release Cubi 3 Plus soon? :p
I have been considering getting the NUC instead, and I'm also looking at other options: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856167134
The only disadvantage is it doesn't support Kabylake CPUs. But this updated machine has embedded i3-7100U processor...
My TV does support 4K resolution, but I rarely watch 4K movies anyway. I watch full HD at most, but my TV does 4K upscaling. I just don't know if it does it automatically everytime or have to be switched on manually. But 4K or not is not a deal breaker for me.
I'm considering whether NUC or...
Now I'm confused. After reading numerous articles, I might end up buying Intel's i3 Kabylake NUC, released later this month, as my HTPC.
What do you guys think?
I guess I could compromise for slower memory speed. I'm only using it as a HTPC anyways. Larry, I remember you plan to build a PC based on the new G4560 or G4600 CPUs. What's your rig like?
Do I need 16GB memory or is 8GB enough to run Windows 10?
The onboard HD 610/630 graphic is enough for...
Hello guys, I am set to buy a new HTPC soon and I already have my mind set on Intel's latest Kabylake G4560 or G4600. And I am also most probably going to buy this new casing Coolermaster Masterbox Lite 3. As a HTPC, I need a small motherboard in mATX or mini-ITX form factor. I don't plan to...
Google translate says, "The Pentium can also decode HEVC (H.265) in the Main 10 profile up to Ultra HD in hardware."
and
"The Pentium G46xx is only missing AVX 2.0 (and a few Megahertz clock) To be a Core i3."
Does the G4600 support x265/HEVC hardware encoding/decoding? If not, I think the price premium for the i3-7350 is worth it. Unless all you do is internet browsing and no video playback. :D
I googled "intel skylake c" and articles from Sept 2015 were saying Intel won't be releasing Skylake C. But if something happens between then and now, I'm not really sure.
Thanks, but it seems that Intel has won't be releasing Skylake C, according to some articles I googled.
And I don't plan to change CPU anyway, so I'm okay with soldered CPU as long as it gets here sooner than later and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. :D
I'm hoping to see Gigabyte offer the...
Hello, any news when SFF PC with Intel Skylake 6585R or 6685R will be coming out? Looking to build a HTPC that can play 1080p HEVC and smooth playback/seeking. :)
I realize that the i5-6350HQ mobile CPU won't probably make it into laptops anytime soon, but I'm also open to NUC kits or mini PC using this CPU. If anyone has info/news regarding this, please feel free to share it with us. I plan to build a HTPC soon. Thanks in advance. ;)
Does anyone know if Intel will release Skylake mobile CPU i5-6350HQ anytime soon? It was announced in January and slated for release in Q1. But it's now past due and nowhere near the news that it was going to be released. I can't wait to buy a laptop with this CPU.
