Hehe I should have mentioned that did include £200 for a new keyboard and mouse. Anyhow I reined it in a bit but did go B450. Shopped around and I've spent £960 and another £100 on keyboard and mouse. So double what I set out to spend. I'm blaming this forum. It WILL still last me 5 years. I'm...

Taken from another thread where I was asking for case info. Guess case preference all comes down to aesthetics and whether you will be liquid cooling or relying on good airflow? I went with a CoolerMaster Mastercase Master H500. Mesh front with 2x 200mm fans for lots of air at low rpm.

Sorry don't have personal experience or knowledge on the subject but I went with the 3200 myself as I'd read elsewhere that the official supported ram speed for the higher end B450 boards is 3466mhz and that 3600mhz may or may not run and if it does it might not be 100% stable. Arrrrgh Just...

That is a very good point. It was the budget Asus Prime x570-p that I had my eye on too. It has some great reviews for a budget board but didn't see any of them pick up on that.

Didn't know you could adjust the speed using DC voltage through the motherboard? Thought this was all done with molex connectors and resistors? Is this available within newer motherboard bios settings like the Tomahawk Max? I think it is just an RGB controller the case comes with. The fans...

Thanks Disco P I was thinking the bigger 200mm fans would move the same air at lower rpm and so would auto run at lower speeds. Just didn't think they were 4 pin PWM so wasnt sure if I could control the speed?

I am really not expecting to have those kind of data transfer needs so I'll stick with the B450 and put the extra funds elsewhere. Thanks to all for the advice. It is most appreciated.

Lol I never thought about the chipset fans failing in that time. Was initially planning on the tomahawk max but dont need the 7.1 audio in the IO panel would rather have usb 3.2 and once you get up to the price of the pro carbon it's only another £40 to jump to the Prime x570-p. But you've got...

I'll have to keep it 5 years and more. What began as a build myself a £500 pc, with a little upgrade here and there, has has turned into a £1300 splurge before my very eyes lol.

Is it worth spending £65 more to go with a good budget X570 over a B450 for a new build to keep it upgradable over the next 5 years or more? I'm thinking the X570 has improved vrm thermal performance which should help my Ryzen 5 3600 run cooler now and help with OC temps when I upgrade further...

It's a new mouse and keyboard that is stalling me now. Way too much choice out there lol.

Sorry MrPotato I've ditched this case I've gone with an Coolermaster Mastercase H500 for maximum airflow at handled noise levels.

I still haven't bought it yet lol. I keep changing my mind on case and MoBo. What factors will determine whether I can use the 2020 or 2019 drivers?

Well my last 3 pc's over about 15 years have all had AMD processors. So I probably am an AMD fanboy. I thought these driver issues had been resolved so I'd better have a good watch of the link you posted here and read up on the 5700xt thread too. You're right in what you say about professional...

Sure I understand that they are the overall minority and a negative experience is more likely to prompt a review. It's just a bit disconcerting when your cursor is hovering over the buy button and 4 out of 6 reviews are poor. So I came back for some reassurance :rolleyes: . I thought all these...

haven't ordered yet as can't find a good review of that card. Low ratings and complaints of freezes and glitches everywhere I look are putting me off. These poor reviews have all been left just this week...Or are these just Nvidia fanboys being naughty? "A very regrettable purchase of this...

I had noticed it popping up quite high in the airflow charts and low in the noise ones but must have got distracted during the Gamers Nexus review as didn't give it a second look. But just had a look on their website the non rgb version has fan speed control on the case, I do like that..Thanks for...

I like the idea of being able to have the option of quiet operation or good cooling in a mesh front case with manual control of the fan speed from the bios. So think I might go with a SilverStone RL06 as it looks to offer me that and partpicker says the msi Tomahawk Max motherboard is compatible.

The Kolink has other issues apart from the airflow. The fans are poor quality and there is no way to control their speed. I think there are better cases available around this price. Yes been watching Gamers Nexus case reviews the scale between the quietest and noisiest seems to sit between 30db...

I came real close to buying this today. Thought I would check out YT see if I could find a vid of someone building in it first. I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8onx8czmAo which really didn't show much but reading down the comments I have been put off by other owners complaining...
