Haha I did! Full test scenario happened. Still gonna swap the board out for the ASUS and sell the Tomahawk though.

Pretty much. It will make the price more palatable.

So the board is fine. I bought sleeved cables from primo chill... This was the issue.

Crazy thing was I did the norm, I logged my OC settings, reset BIOS and then installed new BIOS. Dud. I ordered the 350 for now. Worse case I return it and snag the 370. MSI was a new frontier for me.

Yeah, no plans to SLI/Crossfire. I do video production for fun but it is not going to be a full-on workstation thing. One sexy board though.

So, I have the same issue that many early adopters have. You pay a tax in the form of inconsistency, bugs and being a beta tester for a company. My MSI B350 Tomahawk has not been able to POST since the latest BIOS. I've cleared CMOS via jumper and battery removal to no avail. The board has been...

Never realized how much people loved that mouse

I've only got LPX RAM in my current PC. When I had my 2500k system I used LPX too and it worked amazing since I used a tuniq tower that overhang the first RAM slot.

Appreciate all the responses. It's crazy how many mice are out there. I mean I know there are a lot but when you decide it's time to put old faithful to rest it's dizzying. Work I use a M510 wireless, suitable and comfortable but at home I want more creature comfort.

Title says it all really. My 9x is reaching the end of its life. I've looked at the new Corsair Glaive and maybe the Logitech 203 or 403. I prefer thumb buttons but could survive without. Any simiar mice I should look at? I mostly do general pc tasks and video rendering. My gaming is usually...

Just snatched up the 3 piece Google WiFi system for $100. Insanity.

I disagree. The amount of power phases is not the only factor. The Tomahawk has 4+2 and can OC very well. Oc3d tested one with an 1800x and hit 4GHz on 1.4v with only 8 hundredths vdroop so a drop to 1.32v is a very stable result...

I run a Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.9GHz v 1.335 on an MSI B350 Tomahawk. x370 just provides SLI. If you don't need it or prefer Crossfire the B350 Chipset will serve you well.

Same, it was the very first thing I did. Mflash to 1.3 on my b350 Tomahawk. Having some teething issues with M.2 but that's par for the course with new tech.

At this point most of those boards are probably going to ship with the first bios vsrsion released when the board hit retail. Why take the board to the store? You can flash the BIOS from USB, no need to boot in to Windows to do that.

I would not have bothered with them. You aren't by law required to offer a return.

Is this a brand new board? When Sandy dropped I bought a board from ebay and no issues. That was ASUS but the warranty was from date of purchase on ebay.

The wrinkled jellyfish in our heads is the largest.

In street fighter...

It will depend on where you are currently in your GPU life. If you bought a 1060 or a 480...donf buy it. If however you were like me and had a 6870, an upgrade to 580 is a good investment. I bought the 480 because the gain wasn't big enough for me to throw my hat in to the price creep that...

Service has been stellar for me.. I bought the B350 Tomahawk and the Vengeance LPX RAM then the price dropped two days later. I asked and they kicked back the difference to me no problem.

At the end of the day for me it comes down to price and how soon I need it. If I can get it from Amazon on prime and the cost plus tax is close then Amazon gets it. Almost everything in the new PC I am planning came from NE thought.

Yes it's pretty sweet! I will just be using the PrimoChill primoflex tubing in UV purple over the black tubes of the Kraken. My plan is to cut a line to splice it then slip it over and use primochill reusable nylon clamps to hold it in place. Pair that with their purple PSU extensions and I...

Thank you, that's what I thought about the tubing but I've never touched water cooling in my life so my plan is to get the 7/16 and some collars to make sure it stays snug, it should look as if NZXT made it that way when I'm done... I hope lol

I will be building a Ryzen PC soonish, maybe this weekend. Using the NZXT Kraken X61. Should I set the rad in push-pull? If so, should I mount the push fans beneath the front IO panel? There are only two vents on the front panel at the top and the bottom. I would hate to waste fans that provide...

I ended up getting the Tomahawk, the only difference I can see is the PCI slots are reinforced and the board supports multi-gpu. I don't plan on that but the reinforcement is nice.

I'm curious about this too. I asked MSI but crickets. I did read somewhere that overclocking via BCLK cannot be used...I am new to OCing so have no idea what that means but it makes me wonder if I should buy it. I want to run an R5 1600 OC'd in that board...

Pump up the jam!

It does use the 42mm M.2 card, I did some perusing right now the largest is 512GB it looks like but that price...may just do as you suggested and use it for a dual boot. I did, it's a 1TB HGST 5400 RPM, probably throw it in an enclosure and tote it with for storage or something. Would 16GB in...

[Edit] Added some pics. Bought an almost pristine Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14 and plan on swapping the 1 TB hybrid drive out for a 256GB AirEye SSD I have. It has 8 GB DDR3 but I'd like to go 16 because, why not? The problem is I read conflicting stories about RAM upgrades on these. Some say...

Ended up getting a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14 from someone on LetGo for $500 has i5-5200U CPU. Decided I could do without the gaming factor, seems nice. May be a keeper, everything I saw these start at 1k and go up.

It's not from Craigslist but similar, from LetGo. Bought a Yoga 14 for $400 new in box. I5-5200u, 8 GB Ram, 1TB Hybrid Drive. Seemed good to me since new is ~$1k

It's been about a month. I've went through two different laptops now and returned them. The Aspire E5 - Returned because the Trackpad was mushy and ineffective to me. The Lenovo Flex 4 14" - Super slow HDD, I bought an SSD and have it to go in something if I buy and it has a platter drive. I...

Sure did, it was delivered today. Probably will drop an extra 8 gig stick in it and 500 GB SSD are cheap anymore so a good secondary drive. Thank you so much for helping!

Inspiron 11 isn't a bad little laptop for a kid to pound around on. They use i-ready now and my little girl hogs my chromebook. Snagged one for her.

Will definitely get rid of the bloatware. I think I've come down to either of these; Acer Aspire E 15, 15.6 Full HD, Intel Core i5, NVIDIA 940MX, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Windows 10, E5-575G-53VG https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DT4A2R4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER...

Couldn't say for the very first PCs I owned, probably on board because it was a Walmart special. Didn't build my own until the 6870 came out. It's still in use but waiting for stock of RX480 to come to fruition.

Would this be a bad buy? Saw it on the Egg for their Techessorize or whatever sale...$619 Acer 15.6" Full HD V5-591G-56AS 6th Generation Intel Core i5 6300HQ (2.30 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD 128 GB SSD Windows 10 Home Laptop

Finishing out the last two years of my bachelor's for business admin and for business law but the laptop I've got is done for. Done for as in my three (almost four) year old jumped from the couch to the floor where he put it while I was cooking dinner. Double footed hulk smash. Long story...
