    R5 3600 upgrade?

    Completely agree with this. However, for me it wouldn't be worth the money quite yet to upgrade what he has. If anything I'd bump up to something with more cores.

    Athlon XP Barton for retro gaming pc?

    I remember my AMD 1700+ and my Epox 8rda running at I 2.4ghz 24/7 like yesterday. Such bang for your buck back then... That said....For this topic, I would just spend a little money one newer (used) hardware to alleviate all the inevitable headaches for today.

    Gaming build november 2019

    You may want a dedicated NVMe for the OS and separate SSD for gaming if you can swing it. Also you may be able to find a Windows 10 deal in the For Sale/Trade section.

    Is a 128GB SSD and 500GB HDD enough for a basic student laptop?

    Space is so cheap these days...why wouldn't you get at the very least 256gb?

    Worth upgrading a 2600 with a 3600?

    I have the 3600 and the B450 Carbon Pro AC. It was a debacle when originally released, but the new BIOS works good now. I wouldn't upgrade tho from the 2600.

    I just bought it a few weeks ago as well and am loving it. I've only played a few hours and I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of the actual game yet.

    Forced to reflash Bios after every shutdown

    Thanks for directing me to the subreddit...had no idea this was such a big issue. Any other boards out there that have a one-touch solution where I dont need an older cpu to get the BIOS updated? Or should I just go an x570...any ones with Wifi included for less than $180? Edit: there is a...

    Forced to reflash Bios after every shutdown

    Na, the latest BIOS is from 7/10. Looks like they're trying to release a new version before the end of the month. I may wait until then, but if not, I may return and get something else. The biggest thing that drew me to this board was the ease of BIOS updating with the lack of needing an old...

    I just looked at the MSI subreddit....wow you're exactly right. So many people are having the same issue. What a pain..

    Forced to reflash Bios after every shutdown

    I'm downloading the chipset drivers from MSI site now...I guess I'm using whatever Windows installed. But I don't think this would even be a thing seeing as the issue occurs way before any Windows apps start.
