Thank you for the info. I'll pass on the OC for now, I've upgraded from a really weak cpu so now I'm just happy. Wanted to make sure this weird spike in speed is nothing wrong. I'll learn more about it for sure, but first need to get a better cooler just in case. It's just weird that it reports...

ok so I played some games and apparently speed doesn't go beyond 4.2 (of course) and cpu temp is 70 max. performance is great, the only concern I have is not to damage my system by this unintentional overclocking (if I may call it that)

Thanks a lot again. I'll not reinstall windows for now, bit lazy and don't want to back up some of the scattered files, but will do it if necessary, so let's see if anyone else answers for now

thank you, got it as well. could you please check if this looks ok? I'm new to amd and processors in general, I have no clue what to look for and got not time today to actually learn by myself. I just want to make sure it's all good. One important thing I should've noted is that when I...

thanks, I've installed the chipset drivers and have put the ryzen balanced power plan. It's still however jumping between 3.6 and 4.0 in task manager. Is this just a visual thing and my hardware is not in danger or do I need to make sure somehow else?

Hi, Just installed a ryzen 5 3600, its base speed is apparently 3.6 GHz, but it's usually running close to 4.0. I haven't changed anything and never overclocked in my life, not sure if this is something that's supposed to be happening. Shouldn't its speed be capped at 3.6 even though it's...

1660ti is pretty great. It's cheaper than a 1070 and is more or less the same performance

ah yeah, I know the feel very well. I actually didn't know my monitor was capped at 59hz, so for the past 3 years this was my life and I thought it was a good pc build. Just got a 144hz yesterday and it's night and day. Shopping spree commenced, now I've taken a bit off my savings to get a ryzen...

nope, it has +12% on the radeon one. if you scroll down to details you can also see where exactly it's slightly faster. I'm not a big fan of radeon gpus, I've read a bunch that they generally have overheating problems and have less lifespan than nvidia. they are however cheaper. when I was...

benchmarks say the cpu you picked is overall 10% worse (which is actually much worse if you check the benchmark details) https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-2600-vs-AMD-Ryzen-3-2200G/3955vsm441832 I've always been reading that 6gb 1060 is MUCH better than 3gb and I personally...

thanks! should i just go through device manager and look for auto updates there? is that what you mean?

yep, as long as it's not a MINI-atx, you should be fine. I actually just installed exactly the same motherboard 5 minutes ago. the reason you should go for a micro atx mobo is because it's cheaper and more compact. it usually does not offer multi-gpu set ups and sometimes has 2 ram slots instead...

Hi, You 100% will get better value off building your own pc. Picking parts and assembling it is quite fun and not that difficult, plus you get more knowledgeable about this stuff. I'd say spend a good couple of days researching on what parts you want and then order them. If you don't wanna...

for sure. running csgo is a piece of cake for a budget build. the build that Hellfire13 suggested is great, and I'd also recommend investing in a 144hz monitor. you can get a decent one at around £ 170 I'd say and such a monitor helps out in first person shooters.

Hello, I just upgraded my motherboard and cpu from msi h110m + pentium g4560 to msi b450m + ryzen 5 3600 I was prepared to reinstall windows, had usb drive plugged in and everything as generally recommended, but my pc didn't boot from the usb drive and just went "getting your devices...
