I don’t know how known this list is but holy well I came across it on a Reddit post last night… also love how they have pics of the rear I/O, soooo much info on all the boards, and here I’ve been going to manufactures pages to get info all along.

Don’t know if this has been posted, but I just came across this master list for AM5 board comparison if anyone hasn’t seen it. Covers X670, X670E, B650, and B650E. AM5 Master list - Google Sheet

Upgraded my sons PC from a 5600 stock to a 5800x3D, but I wasn’t sure if I’d see the improvements talked about since there’s only a handful of games he plays one of them being FIFA 23. He runs a 1440p 144hz panel with a RTX 4070, and in FIFA 23 with everything cranked to Ultra it was spitting...

I've been thinking about moving my main gaming PC into a storage room that's close by, and by close I mean 5 ft away. I don't want to be running 5-7ft ft of different cables for the mouse, keyboard, monitor. headphones etc, and so a 1 cable solution sounds nice--I just don't know where to start...

Will try that out today, thanks for the replies

This is the best I can get without buying a circuit board magnifier. Pixel 6A! (Being extra magnified by my younger kids bug magnifier 😂)

But don't many games like Minecraft and others dump stuff in the appdata folder? As well programs?

Now that he's running the B550 setup ok, I'm leaving it. I'll test the B650 parts separately and will try a fresh install of 11, try some games, leave some burn in tests going for a while. I do also wonder if the B650M-DS3H was too low end of a board to handle the G.Skill 6000 Expo kit. It was...

The parts are hard to swap since I didn’t have another Zen5 board or DDR5. All the other PC’s my kids run and even mine are DDR4. The SSD I guess I could have swapped, like back to his older Samsung Evo 500GB. The new drive is a WD SN850x, so I dismissed it might be the issue, but I’ve seen...

Yeah I’ll try

Last week I upgraded my sons PC to a 7600X, on a Gigabyte B650M-DS3H, and G.Skill 6000 C30. I also dropped in a 1tb nvme since his games were killing the 500gb he had in there. I did the fresh install of W11, AMD chipset drivers, latest NV drivers for the GPU, and all updates. I couldn’t get...

Front of my sons PC is clean

I only vacuum the PSU, the front rad (from the outside) and the inside bottom of the case. Also hey, you beat my join date by a few days :D

This one is the Lian Li Lancool II, cable management is o-k-a-y… but when he has 8 corsair fans controlled by their hubs it’s annoying. I’d go with the Lian Li Uni fans if they weren’t so bloody expensive. I did last week, although in fairness really on the front, bottom, and inside. I vacuum...

About to upgrade my sons PC… where to start… 😂
