    [SOLVED] New Build. CPU EZ LED

    Thanks for the replies. I'll need to do some more tweaking to get everything right. It seems that the MSI XMP profile 1 wasn't adjusting the voltage correctly(at all) nor was it changing the FCLK frequency to match. Seems stable for now. Was able to game for a few hours without issue. Will do a...

    Finished a new build today-- MSI x570 Tomahawk Ryzen 7 5800x Trident Z Neo 3600 CL16 (8x2) Seasonic GX 750w Nvidia 2070 I did the bios flashback button before starting. After getting windows installed I went back into the bios to turn on the a-xmp settings. Also changed a few fan timings for...

    [SOLVED] Asus TUF Gaming x570-Pro

    That surprises me. I was under the impression that the TUF Gaming Plus had received fairly solid reviews for its price. Figured the Pro would simply be an improvement on that. Good to know! Thanks

    [SOLVED] Asus TUF Gaming x570-Pro

    Has anyone seen reviews for the ASUS TUF Gaming x570-Pro? Most likely looking to buy either that or the MSI x570 Tomahawk. The ASUS Reddit post claims the newer Pro has better VRM/Thermals than the older Plus model but I haven't actually been able to verify that in any way. For the price it...

    [SOLVED] "Made For AMD" Question

    Is there any truth to the "Made for AMD" from the G.Skill Trident Z Neos? Trident Z Neo G.Skill Ripjaws V Both are listed at the same DDR4-3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 1.35V I don't particularly care about the RGB, so if that's all I'm actually paying for I would probably go with the Ripjaws...

    Build Advice (Mostly) New build. RAM, Mobo, Cooling Advice

    Motherboard Considerations - MSI x570 Tomahawk ASUS TUF Gaming x570-Pro I'm not sure if I'm missing any sort of significant differences in these two. I'd like to have the bios flashback and USB-c upgrade (for the TUF Pro over the Plus). I realize stock may be in an issue for these boards as...

    Question New to AMD. Looking for direction on Ryzen 7 5800x mobo (and a few other items)

    Is there any significant difference I'm missing between these two boards?: MSI x570 Tomahawk ASUS TUF Gaming x570-Pro The Pro seems to be a slightly updated model of the TUF Gaming-Plus. I know it is a bit cheaper (20-30 dollars) but that's not a huge deal and I would like the front usb-c port...

    Assistance installing Kraken x61

    I'm attempting to set up my x61 in the Noctis 450, but am unsure of how to hook it all up. The Noctis 450 has a PWM Fan Hub. My motherboard has a CPU_fan as well as CPU_Opt. The manual for the Kraken says to run the 3pin power cable to the CPU_PWR(cpu_fan) header. The Fan Hub on the Noctis...
