Yeah, very different indeed. :/ Nice @_@ My Corsair case fans are a bit older, so they only have blue lights (I still like them though, goes well with my build because I use UV led strips inside, so no need for that much rgb rainbow all over the place in my case).

Yeah I understand, I live in Argentina and things haven't been going so well here for the last... like... Idk... 20 years more or less? Dollar exchange rate has gone to hell, in a way that's why I was hesitant to upgrade the rest of my rig in the first place. Funny thing is, I quit my job a...

Yeah I would have remorse too I think, both because of the Lancool II Mesh being in stock a moth after for $20 bucks more, and also because of Corsair releasing an airflow-oriented case a few months after you bought the 275R... Take your time to pick a new case, see if you can sell the 275R...

Yeah that's why I was pleasently surprised, I don't have much experience with cases but I think it's very unusual for a company to sell interchangeable front panels, it surely saved me from wanting to swtich to another case with better airflow, the P400A is basically the SAME case, just has the...

Yeah I hear you, I liked the Phanteks P400S in most aspects (nice big interior space, which came in handy for these new gpus which are huge, basement for the psu, decent cable management, plus a couple extra smaller features), but then they released the P400A I think last year and I was like: 'I...

Yeah, I checked a few videos, doesn't seem dificult but still.. it's a bit scary flashing a BIOS without a cpu, and THEN assemble eeeeeeverything on the motherboard, only then to see if the flashing actually worked well or not.... I'll have to trust gigabyte's Q-Flash Plus feature I guess...

What's up Prad_Bitt, so a bit of an update since you've helped me get into the AMD-lore. I've bought a MSI 3080 Gaming X Trio. Tested it.... wasn't getting detected by the pc, I tried everything (from updating BIOS to downloading Windows update to trying to install nvidia drivers anyway) but...

Hi mate, thanks for the link, I watched a couple of videos recently (I think GamersNexus or Moore's Law Is Dead) and a few articles here and there (can't remember where, I think on OC3D or Videocardz websites) saying that the new AMD cpu's will be called Ryzen 5000 (there are a few leaks even...

True, 15% IPC gains is considerable. Also true that it would be nice to see AMD gaming performance close the gap with Intel, especially if it's cheaper, we would all benefit from that. :)

Good to know, that's clever, now that you mention it I do remember seeing those features reviewed in the past but I totally forgot about them, I guess when you are not thinking about updating the stuff you pay attention to in detail is much less selective than when you are. Yeah, I've been...

Yeah I think that's actually the best option for me now, sometimes just waiting is the right answer. Thanks for all your explanation and info mate, it's was helpful. :) I think I do have mounting brackets for AMD in the box, I'll have to check, don't know if it's for AM4 or a previous socket...

Yeah, I can understand that, still it depends on the resolution you are running, if you are on 1080p... honestly, a 2070 is really decent, and most probably the new features announced with the new cards will be avaliable for the 20 series. If you are on 1440p or even 4k... yeah, in that case...

Ah, then I guess I'll either have to go for Ryzen 4000 or whatever Intel responds with (if anything) that still supports DDR4. The main reason I focus on this is because it will save me a few bucks not having to buy RAM, and the amount I have today (for the type of user I am) is already...

From what I've been able to research, correct me on these if I'm wrong: ryzen 4000 will be released with AM4 socket as well, and support DDR4 still, right? B550 are mid range AMD motherboards, and X570 are high range AMD motherboards? so X570 is like the equivalente of what the Z470 are now...

I appreciate the feedback mate. I thought about the 10900K, but I've heard it runs really REALLY hot (considering I want to keep air-cooling, it can be an issue if a CPU is known to be particularly hot), plus the fact that it's yet another 14nm++++ architecture makes me not consider it really...
