This could be an electrical issue and we can't just take somebody's word for it that a 750 watt PSU is ok when it is not. Under powering something is a quick way to destroy it so, we need clear answers on this PSU issue. When they say "Required: 850 watt minimum" - they are NOT saying that a 750...

Yeah, when I use the power supply calculator I end up only barley getting to 600 watts (565w) - even with the new RX 6800 XT. I'm not an overclocker at all and I don't have a bunch of other stuff in my system. Pretty standard system. I'm currently using the Gigabyte X470 rev. 1.1 mobo and the...

Quick question, I still use my 8 year old Seasonic X Series X-750 PSU and have never had an issue with it. The issue now is that it's time for a new GPU as I suspect my Radeon RX 480 4g has seen better days so, I was looking into the RX 6800 XT series ... the reference cards recommend a 750...

Didn't Lisa Su or someone from AMD say big Navi was going to be a "4k killer"? The new XBox X will game at 4k 120fps in at least some selected titles so, why can't big Navi? I've got nutbags attacking me for even mentioning big Navi at 4k 120fps - what's up with that? Xbox Series X Graphics...

AMD needs to watch this video: Still Something Wrong At Radeon

I like to wait a couple months sometimes to update the BIOS in case there are errors ... which seems to happen fairly often. Just like several between the F31 and the F50. So I'm still a bit unclear if I really should update to the F50 or not?

OK, so if I understand correctly I don't need BIOS F50 with "AMD AGESA 1.0.0.4 B" if I'm just using the 2700X CPU? If I upgrade to the 3xxx series then, I should update? I'm still using F31 BIOS

I agree. That's why I wanted to ask around first. If it's not worth the update then, I won't do it, which is why I'm still on F31 instead of F50. My reason was because of the "AMD AGESA 1.0.0.4 B" F31 BIOS is just AGESA 0.0.7.2 So, I don't know. I don't even know what AGESA is or what it...

I'm still using BIOS F31 from 2019/05/06 and not sure if I should update to F50 2019/11/27 or not? Should I or should I not? https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/X470-AORUS-GAMING-7-WIFI-rev-11/support#support-dl-bios I have the X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI (rev. 1.1) and the 2700X CPU

Will wifi 5 devices work any better with a wifi 6 wireless router? Are there any benefits of updating to a wifi 6 router if all of your devices are still wifi 5? Apparently, no but, will the beam-forming thing work at least for a more reliable connection? It just doesn't seem like there are any...

Gigabyte Enables PCIe 4.0 on X470 and B450 Motherboards https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-amd-ryzen-3000-pcie-4.0-x470,39377.html

PCIe 4.0 May Come to all AMD Socket AM4 Motherboards Interesting, wonder if the rev. 1.1 update had anything to do with PCIe 4.0 support? I notice Gigabyte now has the AMD X470 AORUS Gaming 7 WiFi motherboard listed as a rev 1.1 - what did they update? X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI (rev. 1.1)...

Yeah, I agree with you that Ryzen & X570 with DDR4 could be memory starved with dual channel DDR4. I'm not confused at all. Here's another video that backs me up saying early in the video at around 2 minutes that the chances of any releases at CES 2019 are zero - he says Computex in June at...

Here's another really good video that is quite helpful for explaining several things:

LOL, Sounds like somebody is butt-hurt by the facts:

Don't be surprised if we don't see consumer 7nm AMD Ryzen 3000 CPU's and X570 motherboards until Q3 2019. AMD has already made it clear that the first 7nm batch is not for consumers. CES 2019 would be too soon for such a release. Computex in June 2019 at the earliest. AMD has been quite vague...

When will AMD's Zen 2 and the X570 motherboards actually be available? Any potential delays? Guesstimated prices - relative to current prices or will there be a price premium? I'm not sure if I should wait for Zen 2 in spring of 2019 or just settle for an X470? I waited for the 9900k but it's...

What exactly does this mean ... ? AMD x470 motherboard and PCIe 2.0 ? X470's biggest limitation - downstream PCIe connectivity, has just 8 downstream PCIe lanes, which are PCI-Express gen 2.0 at that https://www.techpowerup.com/243419/amd-readies-z490-chipset-with-more-and-faster-pcie-lanes

The new AMD system sounds like it'll be sweet imho: "PCIe 4.0 allows for more devices – think NVMe SSDs – to share the same bus without draining the bandwidth pool as much. It also means the X570 motherboards released alongside the Zen 2 CPUs will be sufficiently different from the X470 boards...

January 9th is when AMD's CEO will give the keynote at CES ... maybe that's what you were thinking of? You guys are probably right, AMD will likely "milk Zen+ for a while longer to recoup their investment" but, it wouldn't bother me if they came out asap with the new AMD X570 motherboard, Zen...

Got it ... I had to talk to my local computer shop guy since I wasn't sure what I needed. Yeah, I'd never had a "hub" before, I just needed an Ethernet switch and a few new CAT 6 cables to go with. I was mixing up some of my WiFi stuff in my OP since I wasn't sure what I needed yet. I've got...

My WiFi struggles to keep a good connection with my XBox One X so ... I figured I'd just go wired: What are the best 4 or 5 port Ethernet hubs in 2018 with USB 3.0 speeds or better? My PC is wired Ethernet. I think I just need a good Ethernet slitter so I can go back & forth between my PC &...

Intel Z390 Disappointments: * HDMI 1.4 - should be 2.0 since HDMI 1.4 came out in 2009, HDMI 2.0 came out in 2013, HDMI 2.1 was released in 2017 * Still just 24 lanes off the CPU (4NVME,4chipset,16GPU) some specs say just 16 lanes * DDR4 2666 - should be 3200 * BIOS needs lots of work *...

Intel Z390 Disappointments: HDMI 1.4 - should be 2.0 since HDMI 1.4 came out in 2009, HDMI 2.0 came out in 2013 DDR4 2666 - should be 3200 BIOS needs lots of work Utility CD instead of a USB thumb drive 9700k only 8-thread instead of 16 Why is it so expensive then?

Where does the RX 480 4g fit into all of this?

Ironic how those refusing to read the link already provided have no idea why their comments come off insulting - because you have no idea what this is about. A cursory check would done a lot for you instead of just being an ass. AMD trolling Intel with the names

Nice review, thanks for that. I'd love to see a comparison between the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo vs Hyper 212X Turbo (dual fan) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=13C-000X-00037

Well, it appears AMD duped Intel because Intel has the Z390 coming in the fall, apparently. So, will Intel's Z390 be worth anything at all? Any upgrades?

Ahh, just now realized that as if AMD's naming scheme wasn't juvenile enough by taking Intel's, AMD is naming it's new 490 chipset not the X490 but rather Z490 again - just like Intel. I despise AMD for that. It's as if a 7 year old did AMD's new naming scheme. Intel Z390 and AMD Z490...
