    [SOLVED] Motherboard drivers installation question

    Are there certain issues you're likely to face when transferring? Or do you just do a clean install to be safer? I've read from some people who said if it works after transferring then it's fine. But I am not sure, I got some mixed answers.

    [SOLVED] Motherboard drivers installation question

    I didn't realize it was an iffy thing to do until after I did it. I had to reactive windows but everything seemed to work fine so I am not too sure. Should I keep it or do a fresh install? As for the chipset driver. The motherboard site shows a version number 2.15 and I installed version 3.09...

    [SOLVED] Motherboard drivers installation question

    Hi, I am running a MSI b550m bazooka with a 3800x. I've installed the AMD chipset drivers from AMD's website. I was wondering, do I need to install any of the motherboard drivers? I had windows installed on an m.2 which I transferred over so some of the basic drivers were already installed...

    [SOLVED] 3800x Idle temps jumpy

    I've been running some games to try and mimick normal use and see temps under load. Since I have CPB enabled by default, the CPU jumps up and down like you stated earlier and runs at higher clock speeds (usually it's always running at 4-4.2). So temps in idle or light browsing range from 40-55...

    [SOLVED] 3800x Idle temps jumpy

    I just installed the chipset drivers and changed the power plan to Ryzen balanced. Looking at my temps, if the CPU is like 1% or lower in usage, CPU temps are around 35-50. More on the lower side. If I am doing something like watching a live stream (or windows is doing something) the...

    [SOLVED] 3800x Idle temps jumpy

    Hi, I installed a 3800x and in windows, the idle temps are around 45-55 Celsius. Sometimes they randomly jump to like 60-69 degrees even though nothing is happening. Windows power plan is on balanced. In bios, the temperature is around 45-55 but again sometimes randomly jumps to like 60-65...

    [SOLVED] Missing two motherboard screws

    I could use the screws from the back of the case that hold in those slots where the GPU goes. Those seem to screw into the standoffs. Anyone know if that would fine?

    [SOLVED] Missing two motherboard screws

    Hi, I am trying to install a MSI b550m bazooka motherboard. I took out my old motherboard which needed 6 screws. The MSI one needs 8 and I can't find any extra screws at the moment. I am wondering if I should be fine with using 6 anyway or should I get 2 more screws? Which holes would I...

    Question Bios update's effect on other parts

    Hi. I recently tried updating the bios version on my ASRock A320M-HDV from P1.30 to 3.40. The update finished successfully but the PC never rebooted properly. Always has a black screen on reboot. I've tried some things like taking the power cable out, taking out cmos, rebooting a bunch of...

    [SOLVED] Can I run a 3800x with this system?

    Is there some other way I can be sure? Couldn't find much searching it up and the product description says "support for 3rd gen Ryzen and future gens with bios update". So it seems like it should work? This is the product link...
