Motherboards

Hello, MSI B550 UNIFY Board has total four M2 slots. 1st is directly coupled with CPU, 2nd and 3rd M2 slots actually share PCI-E 4.0 x 16 bandwidth. If I put SSD in any of these M2 slots, PCI-E slot brought down to x8 mode. This is fine as long as there is graphics card installed in PCI-E x 16...

Hey everyone, I am building a new PC, looking at getting a mid range z590 board in a week or so, perhaps the MSI Gaming Carbon. When considering the ram however, I was looking at getting some Trident Z neo, and ive noticed there is 3600 C16 with 16-16-16-38 and 16-19-19-39, the latter being...

So the pins on my ryzen 5 2600 broke so I'm going to replace it with the ryzen 5 3600, will there be any issues as the overclock settings (4GHZ 1.35V) on my old cpu are still enabled on my motherboard : asrock b450 steel legend

My motherboard is the ASUS Z490 Prime A, I have it connected using a 24 pin connector that connects to my power supply and a CPU 8 pin connector.

Hi Guys! I was wondering if you might be able to help me? I'm basically wanting to update my PC as it is long overdue (nothing updated in about 6/7 years since it got put together). Due to all the working from home going on my boss has agreed to get some computer components for me to update my...

Hi! I am broadly asking and wondering when I should upgrade my motherboard. For clarity, I have the B450 Tomahawk and started out w/ a Ryzen 3rd 2200. In the last 6-ish months I upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 5th 3600 and kept the same motherboard. The caution of upgrading the CPU for the same...

Hi, I have a z390 Aorus Master Mobo and I've just picked up a new bluetooth keyboard. I noticed that initially the bluetooth connectivity was there but it was a little weak and dropped out, I look online for answers, found that my drivers were outdated and that there is a bluetooth/wifi antenna...

G.Skill Trident Z Royal Silver and Gold seem to be the same except for the color. If I get 2 8gb sticks of each color will it work or will error occur?

Some 300 series motherboards don't even include or mention Windows 7 or 8.1 on their support pages, and installing Win7 requires some fooling around with USB drivers and other stuff... Same for recent AMD mobos... So how long until new motherboards completely strip away any legacy OS support...

Hello! I'm going to upgrade my pc, but can't decide whenever i should go with intel or amd. My choice is between I5-10400 and R5 3600 (both are falling into the same price category for my country) I'm mostly using pc for games. What should i go with? And which one of these is more future proof?

Hello guys, i'm really new to PC builds and this is my first time changing components, just bought a new gpu and i wanted to change my cpu in the future, but i just looked up my motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H-CF and found out that it might not be compatible with the newer cpu's.

I got a new system i5-10400 on PRIME-Z490M PLUS with GTX 1660super and 500Gb ssd Problem is my XPG SPECTRIX D60G 8GB DDR4 3000MHz won't go over 2666MHz and XMP won't boot

How come there are very few nice micro atx AMD x570 mobos, let alone any at all?

So I have been doing a bit of research on this for the last couple of hours, with no solution found. Problem: I just built a new computer, and brought my hard drives over. Windows is booting and was setup fine from my 2.5" SSD, connected via SATA, and my HDD over SATA was recognized as well. My...

Hello! It’s just a curiousity of mine. I used to have a cheap PC in 2004. The CPU was Intel Pentium 4 @2.4GHz (LGA478). The motherboard was MSI (I don’t know what model). As I remember, I used to have 3 memory slots for DDR1, not 2 slots, not 4 slots. Could I be right??? (I looked up on...

Hi, I'm rebuilding my system and looking to use a Ryzen 5 3600 for the cpu but I'm looking for a board for it that I can put the chip in without having to put an old chip to update the bios 1st, so any recommendations for boards I can put the chip into out the box without issues. Thx in advance.

So...I was just wondering if it was possible to overclock ram past your motherboards limit. And if you can will the ram actually run at that speed or will it in actuality just stay at its original speeds
