    [SOLVED] AMD Optimised, is it baloney?

    I May have figured it out the hard way, I've put the new ram in, nothing crashed for the whole day. Randomly decided to crash again while basically idling. Reset all bios settings to default, and messed around with the overclock again. Put curve optimizer to -15, passed both multi and single...

    [SOLVED] AMD Optimised, is it baloney?

    Brilliant thank you, ended up going with the first ram I mentioned. It's not on the QVL list but I assume this is because it's a new ram from corsair. The non-SL version was on the QVL list and I assume these are the same modules. Can't believe how much my issues ram can cause! Oh and forgot to...

    [SOLVED] AMD Optimised, is it baloney?

    I think cinebench is a stress test for my system. I doubt I ever will expose my CPU to heavy multi-core workloads, all I do is game on this machine, maybe with future plans of streaming. Hence why I think cinebench is a suitable "stress test" for my machine, I didn't just apply an overclock and...

    [SOLVED] AMD Optimised, is it baloney?

    So I badly need to upgrade my ram. I have upgraded to a 5600x, this needed a new motherboard. I kept my old ram thinking, oh it will be fine. Previously I had an i5 7600k, 16GB ram. I had two sticks rated for 2400mhz and 2 for 2666mhz. (this is because when I first built pc I went with 8GB...

    [SOLVED] Looking to upgrade computer, any advice?

    I went from an i5 7600k to a ryzen 5 5600x, the best choice I made. Depending on your budget, if you have A LOT then go for the new top-of-the-line dogs like the 12th gen i7's. However, I think the 5600x is a great choice. It's cheap and you can easily pick up a second-hand x570 motherboard for...

    Awesome, also is the AMD auto overclocker good or best to do it manually?

    [SOLVED] Should I bother with the extra 4 pin connector + crashes after upgrading.

    The motherboard was advertised as updated to the latest bios so didn't bother checking but it most likely is. It hasn't crashed since installing the chipset drivers.

    [SOLVED] Should I bother with the extra 4 pin connector + crashes after upgrading.

    I just upgraded from a 7th gen intel platform(i5 7600k, z170) to the AMD r5 5600x and an Asus x570F Gaming motherboard. I knew about the 8+4 pin on the CPU for a while but does it actually make a difference? Mainly why I'm asking is because since upgrading I have been getting instant crashes...

    [SOLVED] Upgrade recommendations for whole setup

    I should have mentioned, I do care about the looks of my PC, does that board have an ATX alternative? And should I consider Ryzen or is it not worth it at the moment?
