Thanks for your comments, both. I appreciate your time. I will upgrade the RAM, CPU, and CPU cooler first in the current setup and then consider a more appropriate mobo, PSU, or/and case.

Hi, Lafong, thanks for you reply! Thanks for mentioning this one, I will consider it. The store I plan on buying from does offer returns so I can go that route. I will mark your reply as a solution until and if I test the coolers I originally proposed.

Hi, Phaaze88, thanks for your reply! Regarding the CPU Thanks for that spreadsheet, I wouldn't know where/how to search for one of those. I shall stay away from OCing for the foreseeable future. The spreadsheet recommends "Minor airflow" for a 3900x (stock) but I'm not quite sure what that...

Hi all, I would like to upgrade from an R5 2600 to an R7 5800x or an R9 5900x on a Gigabyte B450M DS3H (rev. 1.x) (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-rev-1x#kf). Plenty of sources confirm that my mobo will be able to run the beefier CPU with a BIOS update but also I read reviews...

Hi all, I would like to upgrade from "AMD Wraith Prism Cooler" to "Be Quiet! Dark Rock 4 Pro" or "Noctua NH-D15" but I'm concerned about dimensions. I'm trying to stick the new cooler into an Empire Gaming Diamond...

It's settled, I'm going for the Gigabyte B450M + Ryzen 5 2600 setup. The first (but not immediate) upgrade will be RAM and down the road a 5000 series CPU. Thanks a lot for your replies and for the additional info you've provided! Your input has been thoroughly appreciated and I don't think...

Massive thank you, @Aeacus , for the amount of info in your reply!! I literally needed to read it through 2 times (at lunch and at dinner) to soak it all in. Comparing USB slots and what-not myself I find reasonable enough as it's a matter of looking out for the numbers but I was lacking...

This matches my initial observations but thanks for confirming. Two questions on the recommended build: Could you go into a bit more detail why the Gigabyte B450M is better than the MSI B365M (RAM slots, max RAM, and max RAM MHz are obvious to me but surely there is more)? Is it possible to...

Approximate Purchase Date: N/A, parts in stock and given for free by a friend Budget Range: N/A System Usage from Most to Least Important: 3D modeling, medium gaming Are you buying a monitor: No Parts to Upgrade: I would like some help with the Mobo, CPU, and RAM. Do you need to buy OS...

Thanks for the suggestion but I used it successfully for a couple of months after the heat issue was addressed. I will likely do an OS reinstall from scratch as I was considering it due to other factors anyway and report back on any progress. Best

Hi guys, I'm using an external WiFi adapter - Asus USB AC 68 - but as of recently I'm getting a lot of "No internet" errors. I was getting those errors in the beginning as well - the issue was the adapter was overheating, added a fan and that was solved. Then, every 20-30 hours I would lose...

Here is a LINK to screenshots of CPU Z's tabs. To the best of my understanding the CPU you have mentioned coincides with the one I have on my laptop. Further, I don't know if the RAM I have currently is soldered on or not (although I strongly suspect that is the case), rather, I have visually...

Hello all, I have an Asus K556UQ-DM1220 that currently runs 8GB RAM but I would like to expand on that. I have visually verified that I have a free RAM slot. According to CPU-Z, currently I have an Asus X556UQK v1.0 motherboard and DDR4 8GB 1064MHz RAM. Before I buy the wrong stuff, I'd like a...

Hey guys, I went ahead and tried to do what you all suggested but to no avail. As I'm not that good with networking I tried to google my way through but I couldn't make it work. First I ran ipconfig /all in the command prompt with the router connected via ethernet cable. This is what I got in...

You guys are brilliant! I certainly didn't expect that many answers when I got up this morning. Great community! I apologize for not stating my OS, it's quite obvious but slipped my mind - Windows 10 Education N 64bit. @Abalacho has struck the nail on the head. That's exactly what I want to do...
