Here is the list of bios: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20AB350%20Gaming%20K4/index.asp#BIOS

Guys I'm either a moron or can't read, take your pick... I'm trying to update my bios for my ASRock Fatality AB350, I have a new Ryzen 3600 and can't afford a new mobo with times being tight and will push through with the B350 for the time being. My question is, which bios to I need to grab...

Ok, this might be a silly question but you guys/gals are better than company paid customer support so please bear with me. I'm installing a Hyper Evo 212 on my kids gaming PC, its a straight forward install no issues. It comes with a little tube of thermal paste you obviously need for the...

Sorry to bump this old thread but I wanted to give an honest update to the part I purchased, the Noctua NH-U12s. This thing is quite possibly the best cooler ever produced. As others have said, its extremely high quality, everything from the packaging, build and performance is in a class by...

Hi everyone! Just started my new Ryzen build and after reading some threads here and reviews Ive noticed there seems to be some people having cooling problems with the 1600x. Because if this I got the Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wjmLrH/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhu12s Now...

I would choose the GTX 970. The recent issue with the RX 480 having possible serious power consumption issues with the PCI-E port is disturbing especially with AMD banging about how two RX 480's in crossfire are comparable to a GTX 1080. Hopefully it won't blow the roof off someones...

The RX 480 is a mid tier card and priced appropriately. The 1070 is a top of the line card that offers far superior performance and can handle anything thrown at it. I own the 1070 and it destroys everything in its path six ways from Sunday with Monday and Tuesday standing by with their pants...

OK here is my issue. I want a top of the line video card for once and I'm willing to plunk down the $430 for the 1070 so I can have a great video card and not have to worry about about a video card for the next 3 years at least. My problem is, I have a AMD 8320 as my main cpu, is a good cpu...

Bootcher and Spooky, thank you so much, you both have been so very helpful and gave me tremendous insight into making this decision easy.

Would this be overkill? Yes its refurbished but for the price is outstanding: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139102

Thanks for the answers guys, but do you think I should upgrade my psu as the new processor is almost twice the tdp or will the 530 be enough? Whoops, just saw Bootcher's response to the psu question.

Ok, here is a combo deal I keep going back to and I'm wondering if the community here, whom I find incredibly intelligent, could offer me their opinions. First off here is my current PC which I have really not upgraded much in the five years I have had it. AMD A8-3800 cpu 2.4GHz 8 gig memory...
