    Question Not sure if I should keep my [ASRock] x470 Taichi due to WHEA errors?

    I am running a Ryzen 3600 on my [ASRock] x470 Taichi motherboard and I have been getting WHEA Windows 10 errors 1-2 times per day. I was recently using the Asus Tuf Gaming x570 motherboard and didn't get any WHEA errors until I switched to the Taichi motherboard. I did also switch to different...

    Question Can I trust userbenchmark RAM compatibility list for my x470 Asrock Taichi?

    I have looked at the QVL (https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X470%20Taichi/index.asp#Memory) for my x470 Asrock Taichi motherboard but from what I can tell, there is no dual channel DDR4 3200 MHz (2 x 8 GB) in the QVL. I have come across an unofficial ram compatibility list from Userbenchmark...

    Question Not sure if I should get mid-range Gigabyte or MSI x570 motherboard?

    DO y Do you think an x470 board could safely run a Ryzen 9 3000 series CPU if I decided to upgrade to one down the road. I might just go with an x470 board because I care about silence that much. It isn't that I can't handle any noise from the PC; it is just that the type of noise being...

    Question Not sure if I should get mid-range Gigabyte or MSI x570 motherboard?

    There are a few things that I like about the x570 boards. I like that they support ram frequencies higher than 3466MHz. The Ryzen 3000 series prefers RAM speeds at 3600 MHz and above. Even though I'm not using PCIE 4.0 right now, I might be in a couple of years when I upgrade my video card...

    Question Not sure if I should get mid-range Gigabyte or MSI x570 motherboard?

    I need to get a motherboard for my Ryzen 3600 and I'm debating between a mid range Gigabyte or MSI motherboard. I'm considering either the Gibabyte x570 Aorus Elite or the MSI Mpg x570 Gaming Plus. Both Gigabyte and MSI have x570 motherboards that are a little more expensive but I'm not sure...

    Question Asus Tuf x570 chipset fan is noisy, I can't turn it down, might get different Mobo

    No intensive tasks are being done. I forgot to mention that I do have the cpu fan running at 40% until it reaches 70C. Even if I run the CPU fan with the standard curve I can still hear the chipset fan. At this point, I will likely be going with a Gigabyte Aorus Elite or possibly Aorus Pro...

    Question Asus Tuf x570 chipset fan is noisy, I can't turn it down, might get different Mobo

    I just realized that the motherboard temp isn't the chipset temp. According to HWinfo, the chipset temp is 58C and HWinfo also shows the chipset fan running at 900RPM, where as the fan was running at 1800RPM in the bios.

    Question Asus Tuf x570 chipset fan is noisy, I can't turn it down, might get different Mobo

    I did update to the latest bios and it didn't fix the problem. Cpu temp is running at 35C and motherboard temp is running at 27C. Hardware includes ryzen 3600, corsair 3200 MHz ram, Corsair 275R case and Seasonic focus 750W PSU.

    Question Asus Tuf x570 chipset fan is noisy, I can't turn it down, might get different Mobo

    I have the Asus Tuf Gaming X570 plus motherboard and I can't stand the noise from the chipset fan. I can hear the chipset fan spinning, even when the other fans are going at their normal speeds. I updated my mobo to the latest bios and there is no control to adjust the speed of the chipset...

    Question Can't install Windows 10, get "system misuse PTE" message

    I just built a Windows 10 desktop and in spite of some initial issues, I got it working over DVI via my EVGA GTX 1070 card. I bought my 1070 card used and could never get the HDMI port to output an image. The computer would detect monitors connected to the HDMI port on my 1070 but wouldn't...
