    Upgrade route

    Thats good to hear. I think cooling should be ok - looking around people do seem to get pretty reasonable temps with the Nr200 even with current gen and no bottom fans due to GPU width but it can definitely be a very snug fit. Ok that makes sense, thanks. I might give it a go and be tempted to...

    Upgrade route

    Ha, yeah unfortunately I would be looking at including some AAA. I want to avoid doing major upgrades for marginal gains but if an overhaul is needed then I'll figure that out. If going to an 5800X3D and a 7900XT (or other graphics card) would get me most of the way instead of needing to do a...

    Upgrade route

    I currently don't have one - just using the apu. Also should have mentioned that I have a 4k 144hz monitor.

    Upgrade route

    Hi all I've recently started thinking about getting back into PC gaming and I'm trying to figure out what I need to do with my rig. I stopped around 2020 as at the time my PS5 could do similar for much less and I didn't have cash to throw at really top of the line components. I think now the gap...

    Need to update BIOS but no graphics output

    Great, thanks for the help. Have taken this advice and ordered a 210 so hopefully can get sorted once it arrives.

    Need to update BIOS but no graphics output

    Sadly no flash on this motherboard without entering the bios as far as I can tell. I could use the old cpu but it doesn't have a graphics output, so I would need to buy a graphics card to enter bios unless I am missing something (very possible).

    Need to update BIOS but no graphics output

    Hi all, in a bit of a pickle and wondering if anyone has any bright ideas or insight. I recently upgraded to a 5600G processor to go in my b450i auros motherboard. These should be compatable but my motherboard needs a BIOS update. Unfortunately as it won't support the processor I can't get it...

    RGB lighting setup

    Hi all, Sorry if this is the wrong place for this thread. I am a bit unsure about RGB systems and wondering if anyone can help. I have 2 Antec Prizm 140mm fans at the front of my case which are connected to the antec fan/RGB controller. The connection from this has a 3 pin ARGB connector...

    Need desperate help

    Are you only having problems in warzone? What are temps like?

    Upgrading my desktop

    Thanks both. My bios is already on latest version so I'll have another go at XMP once I've got a 3600 in there and see how that goes, but based on this I won't upgrade ram until I upgrade the motherboard, which will probably be sometime after AM5. If I'm understanding it right the asrock...

    Upgrading my desktop

    Great, thanks. That sounds sensible although less exciting :D I'm erring towards the 3600 as from what i have read as it seems sufficient for my needs. I'm not sure if used prices cpu prices are inflated but it looks like the 3700x would still be a significant amount more and from benchmarks...

    Upgrading my desktop

    Thanks. I do like the look of the 210 but apparently it has awful thermals, especially with an ATX psu. It is a consideration though as it (in theory) ticks all the boxes. Thanks for the advice. I think I'm starting to agree with SFF probably isn't worthwhile, which is partly why I was...

    New ITX build - Rocketlake or Zen2?

    I've been having this same debate recently while trying to spec a new build but I was erring towards the Ryzen. I'm not sure if others know something I don't but I would wait on reviews for the 11th gen CPUs from intel. There is only one review I've seen for the 11700K but it's not very...

    Wiring / smoke problems

    Not an expert on this but many years ago I had this problem as there was some faulty wiring for the front panel of the case which caused a part of the case to be live and therefore it smoked the wire from the reset switch. Are you certain the smoke was from the fan hub and have you checked the...

    Resident Evil 2 (REMake 2) PS4/XB1

    Yeah, I think 5 gets an unfairly bad rep because it wasn't really a RE game, but I really enjoyed it for what it was. Looking forward to this remake. Loved RE2 and have no problem with OTS
