Question Is it compatible

[NoRageNR]

Is MSI MEG Z390 GODLIKE compatible with GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER™ GAMING X TRIO ? If not, can you give me some suggestions (High end)

 

[Lutfij]

Yes the GPU will drop in on that board. What is the make and model of the PSU you're looking to pair with those two parts?

I think i will pair the CORSAIR RM850X 850 WATT 80+ GOLD CERTIFIED FULLY MODULAR PSU with the MSI MEG Z390 GODLIKE LGA1151 and the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER™ GAMING TRIO. But i need to be very sure the are compatible to each other for the 2080 super (graphics card)and godlike (motherboard). Thanks

Why the 2.5" drives? Why not desktop size (3.5")?
And especially, why the FireCuda?

So, do i replace the Firecude 2.5" with something with is 3.5" sized?

Both. The FireCuda and the Baracuda.
No need for 2.5" drives in a desktop case.

For the FireCuda, there is little need for that particular type drive. Unless you're accessing the same data from that drive over and over, that small SSD cache in it does nothing for you.

Wait, so I just get a M.2 SSD and no HDD or SSHD? Because I'm new to desktop building, sorry if you get annoyed.

You can have HDD's in there as well.
Just that the functionality of the FireCuda SSHD is not needed, nor are 2.5" drives.

A FireCuda might be good if it is the only drive in a laptop, in an office situation. And given the ever falling prices of actual SSD's, not even then.

So a Barracuda Pro is fine?

In a 3.5" size, sure.

Personally, I'd put in a 1TB Crucial MX500 instead of that spinning Baracuda.

what is the difference of 2.5" and 3.5"?

 

[USAFRet]

what is the difference of 2.5" and 3.5"?

2.5" drives are often a little more expensive, slower, and may run a bit hotter.

In a desktop case, you're not constrained by size as you would be in a laptop.
There is little reason to get a 2.5" spinning drive for a desktop.

That's what's going on these days. I haven't tried it yet.

My system (specs below), is SSD only. Indeed, all my systems in the house are SSD only, with the exception of an old cheesy laptop.
And of course the 50TB in or attached to the NAS box.

Seagate Exos is it ok?

Being an "Enterprise" drive, a bit expensive.
But it will work.

The 3.5" version is OK. There are better HDDs for the price, though. Regular Barracudas for example.

Are those in AUD instead of USD? Those prices look really expensive to me. Looks OK to me but if I were you, I would not use the Z390 godlike as it is not the best in terms of price to performance. You can get 90% of the board with something cheaper like the Z390 Aorus Pro and most likely you won't need the extra 10%. I also wouldn't buy a 4000 MHz RAM as in most cases 3200 MHz would do just fine in an Intel system. There are some extremely memory sensitive workloads that will benefit from it, but most of us probably won't care. If you are not planning on using multi GPU setups, high-end (Threadripper or Intel X) desktop CPUs, or extreme overclocking an 850W PSU is usually too much. A 650 W would be a much better choice.

Where are you buying this?
Is this US prices? Because that is awfully expensive. $5300

Looking at the OP's other posts it appears to be in Singapore which is why the price is so high. Price to performance I'd swap to AMD Ryzen instead of Intel, far cheaper and performance will still be great.

Disregard the error message as the board ships with updated BIOS.

Monitor is Freesync but should work with the 2080S using a DP cable, newest Nvidia drivers and following these directions.
