I was so frustrated that I didn’t realize you could unscrew the standoffs….. thanks so much for your reply man

The Asus prime B450 A-II And the Thermaltake N27

Currently really freaking out as I’ve spent my savings on a new CPU and motherboard. All has gone well so far but now my motherboard won’t sit right in my case, the standoffs in my case seem like they can fit in some of the holes but not all. Can I use just a couple of the ones that fit? I’m...

Sounds easy enough! Another question, I just watched a video and this guy says to delete and reinstall windows is this necessary for my upgrade? I do not use a hard drive I only use my M.2 SSD

Hello all, Tomorrow I am upgrading both my CPU and my motherboard. I have never dealt with cpu or motherboard hardware so I’m a bit nervous. I’m upgrading from Ryzen 1500x to Ryzen 5600 CPU and I’m upgrading from a A320 Asus motherboard to another Asus B450 prime A- II motherboard. On PC part...

Hello all, I’m currently upgrading my CPU and Motherboard today and having a tough time picking a motherboard. I am upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5600 and need a new motherboard. I was recommended the MSI Thomahawk Max II but it’s a little bit more expensive and will take a while to ship to me but I’m...

Thank you for this insight. I’m gonna go ahead with the MSI Tomahawk b450 Max II that was suggested to me by a friend, if you have a different suggestion that’s cheaper and would work please enlighten me. I figured this motherboard really wasn’t great as it’s probably 6 or so years old and came...

I was told that it may have a “VRM” issue since my current board lacks them, I googled it and it is “Voltage Regulator module” so I assume it’s some kind of overpowering problem. Thanks for your reply and let me know your thoughts. I might just go ahead with the CPU as many have said it’s...

Hello all, I’m looking to upgrade my current CPU to a Ryzen 5 5600x. Some have said my current motherboard is not safe to use with the Ryzen 5 5600x but others have said I will be just fine. If it is not safe for me to use this cpu with my system please suggest me a motherboard that would work...

Wow!! This is perfect. Thank you so much for all your help and I'll let you know how it goes! I appreciate this more than you know!!!

I also believe that this CPU only has 4 cores, at least that is what is says in task manager. A "Quad-core processor"

Man that sounds great! Do I need to do anything special to remove the CPU? The new 5600x comes with a stock cooler and I've seen videos where people use thermal paste will I need to buy that to put on the CPU or will I need to remove any previous paste from my previous CPU? This was originally a...

Here is a link to the parts of my current machine. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8WCqmr I really want to upgrade my CPU and apparently my motherboard can handle that 5600x but I just want to make sure as some people have posted on Reddit months ago that it is concerning. I am going to learn how...

I would love to upgrade to a 5600x I think I would see huge performance gains. Is this safe for my motherboard or will it overheat or zap it dead or something hahaha? someone said something about VRM but I'm not familiar with that.

I do own these parts, I am wondering if it would be safe for me to upgrade only my CPU to a 5600x or 5600. Someone said something about having to make sure I have enough VRM but I'm unsure of what that is. Would it be safe for me to upgrade to a 5600x or 5600? Thank you. I have a Asus PRIME...
