Hi! I currently have an ASUS H97M-E motherboard, paired with an Intel Core I5 4460. This is a PC that was built years ago, with the sole purpose of getting me through high school, as I had a PS4 for gaming. However, I'm now getting into the PC gaming world, and the first thing I need to get is a...

So, I have an Asrock H110M-HDS, and I want to upgrade from 8th gen Intel (i3 8100) to 9th gen. (i5 9400f) Now, you'd say "But not even 8th gen is compatible on that old thing!" Well, I don't know why, but "it just works" as Todd Howard would say. It's not a fake cpu, it's the real thing. I got...

hello all, recently my motherboard, a m3a78-cm ... i believe the bios is fried and the motherboard must have been inferior, as this was the second one and only lasted a year. well, i've decided it's time to upgrade, but i would like to continue to use the atx tower i use. yet, in reviewing...

Hi there, I currently have a thermaltake TR2 700W 80+ Bronze PSU. I want to upgrade from an EVGA GTX 960 GPU to a MSI RTX 2070 Super and wanted to know what the PSU/GPU compatibility is?

Looking to build a pc with a Ryzen 1600AF at its core. Most motherboards within my budget do support it, but after a bios update according to the site. The problem is that the 50$ "bios-update-before-shipping" retailer fees in my country are out of my budget. What exactly should I look for in...

I sincerely hope my question is in the right place, my apologies if I've erred! I currently have a Ryzen 1200 on a budget MSI motherboard that has served me quite well in my 2015-16 gaming build (GTX970). I find the CPU bottlenecks quite heavily in BF5 and am thinking of an upgrade to the Ryzen...

Will this two work together without bios update and having to use different cpu, because i can't afford to do that. Otherwise if this mobo isn't compatible i was thinking about Gigabyte B450M DS3H, but i will go with B450 AORUS M if these two can work since it has dual bios. I don't know if this...

Hey guys I am in the process of building a new PC with intels i5 9400f which has no dedicated graphics and ran in to a possible problem when buying a motherboard thats compatible. Originally i assumed any 1151 (300 series) board will work with all intel 9th gen CPUs but realize i may be wrong...

First post! I'll get down to it. I bought some RAM and an M.2 SSD upgrade for my gf's Asus K501LX, RAM was fine but as soon as it booted I saw smoke and sure enough, the SSD was the culprit. Some component(capacitor? don't know enough to discern) seem damaged and the smoke was the warranty...

Hi all, Just wanted to ask a compatibility question because I don't trust myself enough to fully understand everything involved. I have an MSI Z97S Krait Edition motherboard with a 2280 Key M (PCIe Gen2 x2/SATA) M.2 port. Does this mean it will support M.2 SATA, NOT NVMe? Or both? I'm...

Hello, im curious if this Motherboard can run a Ryzen 5 3600 right away without updating the BIOS. I have got no older AMD CPU to downgrade so i need to know if this Mainboard will be able to boot with a 3600 so i can install a BIOS update if necessary. On the MSI site it says "supports Ryzen...

Hi, i have a problem I've got 2 X 8GB corsair vengance DDR4 3200Mhz RAM sticks in my gigabyte z270x gaming k5 board. The BIOS recognises them both (but it only seems to count 8 gb). When I go to Windows it only uses 8GB and it says there is only one slot in use. -cpuz seems to recognize the...
