Looks like the 1600AF is back in stock on Amazon at $105.

My build is complete but UPS is holding my 3600 hostage. There are 3200G's for $99.99 at some Best Buy locations. That seems to be the cheapest. If mine didn't have movement finally in UPS tracking I'd be sorely tempted just to get the build moving.

Stupid autocorrect. That should be Covid not cold

I ended up with a white Define 7. Still waiting on my X570 board and 3600 to arrive, should have been delivered last week but UPS is blaming cold.

So ended up with a 3600X mainly because there are no 3600's in stock and the ASUS Prime X570 Pro. Everything is ordered so now the waiting game kicks in. Trying to find a MB and CPU in stock is just a giant PITA at the moment.

No Microcenter in Austin and they won't ship a B550 board. Patience I guess.

Is this board worth getting over a B550? Been reading through the reviews on Newegg but haven't seen anything about OC capability. Anyone have experience with OC'ing on this board?

I will probably OC at some point. I added the Corsair because PC Parts Picker adds up all the wattage and I wanted to make sure I got a big enough power supply. I already own the 1650 - used it in the wife's Lenovo which has a low wattage PS. The 1650 doesn't require additional power :) This...

Finally started ordering parts, everything but MB and CPU. MB will either be the MSI B550 Tomahawk or Gigabyte Aorus Pro B550. AIO Corsair was included for power measurement and I already have the video card PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($166.99 @...

Last time I built a system was with a Celeron 300a :) Need a new system (to replace the wife's Lenovo) for iRacing. Things are a lot different - even Power Supply choices are insane. I'm looking at these 2 boards...

Yeah - just didn't look close enough. :(

tool_462 - exactly like that. So the thin bezel is just marketing bs? Was hoping to use in a triple monitor setup with iRacing which is why I bough the thin bezel. Oh well

MSI tech sent me a RMA form. In the MSI forum someone commented the black band is supposed to be there - why would you have a ultra thin bezel if the monitor didn't go to the edge. BTW- get the same band when it's plugged into my Mac Mini via HDMI.

Haven't been able to find anything in the monitor menu's - doesn't mean it's not there :) Drivers are all updated but I'll double check the monitor drivers. Update: monitor driver is just the Generic PnP Monitor. When I try and update the driver to the MSI specific driver I get a message...

Disconnected the 2 flat screen and tried it with just the MSI connected to the DP. Was able to get full screen, GPU scaling and checked the box but it still wouldn't expand to the full width of the screen. Might just been the low power 1650.
