Because your mobo supplies 25w, and that card expects 75w + a 6 pin. That riser takes the data from the pcie and the power from the external connector and makes it a 75w pcie slot. However the PSU probably cannot supply that.

Looks good, although consider having only the 16G kit of RAM in there because even if you have more, it will run at the speed of the slowest stick, and I almost never use all of my 16GB of RAM, let alone 24, so I think the faster speed will give you better performance than more RAM, for gaming...

https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator says you would use ~450W under full load. You're good with your planned setup above, but if you upgraded any further, get a new PSU.

Ok, thank you very much!

You could go for something like the i7 4770 (https://ebay.to/36yWq79) or a bit more expensive: i7 4790k (https://ebay.to/2N30bdq)

I was using Prime95 and Cinebench R15. Ok, so if my system is stable at 4.2Ghz @ 1.099v in Ryzen Master, then I go ahead and find those settings in the BIOS, set them there, then uninstall Ryzen Master? Then test again to make sure it's the same? And this won't damage my CPU, just making sure...

Ok thank you. I wasn't actually planning to overclock, but it just turned out that I did. My pump and fans are all set to extreme already. So it's ok for me to keep using it like this? All of the values on the readout look low, that's not a cause for concern?

So I just got a 3700x and it was overheating, so I downloaded Ryzen master to investigate. It was set to auto so I made a new profile that was 4.2Ghz with the default voltage, 1.099v. It just worked and I checked the temps and they were under 65C with the Corsair Hydro H100i Pro, where before on...
