I remember when TPLink was cheap as anything and just used as means to an end, lol. They seem to have improved much in the past 20 years. As I have my Draytek Router Vigor 2865AC and I'm quite confortable with this brand, I'm thinking about getting one of their swicthes and just add to the...

Hi everyone. I have an increased need to purchase a managed swicth for the house/home office. I come from a networking background (Cisco CCNA) but that was just before VOIP and I have been out of the trade for the past 11 years. Still love my cisco command line rather than the GUI, lol...

Yes mate, UK, Norfolk. Can't seem to pick the C16. Ram! Every time I choose the 2 X 32Gb it changes the C16 to C18. Could be me doing somehtiung wrong!!! lol

Can't seem to find C16! Tried at OCUK and Scan.

Hi everyone. Much appreciated for all the input. Seems that the Ryzen 5700x3d is the pick with 2*32GB at 3600Mhz. Just looking around just to make sure the board (Asus B450M-Plus Gaming does in fact support the 3600 as per the manual it only supports up to 3200. Gotta get that right to avoid...

We have a 850W from Corsair which should be plenty of power.

Hi. The 3200 wa sonly because that's what the motherboards manual says it supports up to. I'd gladly go for 3600 if compatable.

Hi all. It's been a while since I last update my kid's gaming PC. We are making a move away from the ryzen 7 3700X, with 8GB X 2, 3600Mhz. We are plaing on keepiing the motherboard, Asus B450M-PLUS GAMING, with the latest bios version. The upgrade we are contemplating is as follows; AMD...

Maybe to a free SATA port on your motherboard for a HOTSWAP DISK?

For your current setup buddy, really anything to bring it back to life would suffice in my personal opinion. Upgrade to a newer system would be the way forward, off course, if you have the money to put in.

Unless you settle for a second hand one, on that socket I'd be surprised if you can find anything new on the shops mate. Perhaps it's time to consider an upgrade? And sell the existing parts? Just a thought. But a Google search shows that motherboard is socket LGA1155. Hope you get it sorted...
