[BUILD COMPLETE]
This build is to replace and upgrade my ageing i7 6700k mITX gaming rig I built in 2016.
So this build had under gone a few upgrades since the initial day one build in early 2020.
But I think I'm finally at a point in mid 2021 where I can say that I'm happy where it is...
Hello everyone. After my not so pleasant experience with other major uk pc build retailers I have decided to give overclockers a chance.
My basket pc below. Could you kindly let me know whether it looks alright and whether its worth changing anything? Also was thinking whether its better to just...
6 Core / 6 Thread
3Mb L2 Cache
32Mb L3 Cache
65w TDP
Essentially an 3600 but with SMT disabled.
The main reason it is interesting is because it's cheaper than the 3600 (£129 appox)
But it also appears to have better minimum frame rates in many of the gaming benchmarks.
The only problem is...
Hi all, for my first post here on Overclockers forums I wanted to show something special. I have been into building computers for the past 14 years, starting at the age of 12 as far as I remember with an old Q6600 processor which felt great at the time!
So here are the specifications and some...
Hi all,
Upgraded my rig, desk & case etc & thought I'd share some photo's.
I didn't intend on upgrading the mobo & CPU at first, but I damaged some pins on the old one when I dropped a micro fibre cloth on it (n00b move, I know).
so now the specs are (if anyone cares)
Ryzen 3700x
Asus ROG...
I have a question for you guys. I want to build a PC with an Ryzen 5 3600x on the MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX motherboard. Is it fine or I should pick other motherboard on the 130$ budget?
Hi there
I generally hear 8 Pack getting excited over Intel CPU's for his special projects, it is rarely AMD because for what Ian does generally frequency speed is very important as is memory performance.
However over the past couple of weeks this has changed, 8 Pack has being talking very...
Hey guys,
Just wondering if I should look into this. First time PC owner so not 100% sure. Some of my friends were recommending I get one but when I saw that my Ryzen 5 3600 came with one I thought I would see how it does then contemplate upgrading.
So far no issues.
When would I have to look...
Hi guys,
I want some advice on whether to upgrade my 5 1/2 year old pc now or wait for a few more months. My current setup is a i7 4770k @ 4.3ghz and I've picked up a GTX1080ti to go with it. I know the cpu is bottle-necking the system a tad, so I'm itching to upgrade to a completely new build...
Hi there
Though I will try and repeat this come Black Friday, we cannot guarantee it as margin is very slim but we booked this stock at 1.30 rate, the rate is now 1.28 for replenish which may mean keeping it under £100 for next batch could be hard but we always try, but as of today ONLY you...
Hi everyone,
So I am starting a new job in which they have allocated me a budget of £500 for a new laptop.
I will be using it for basic web base work, emails and a few programs for clients. A lot of the info will be stored on a Cloud service but I do need it to be quick and fast.
I think I am...
Hi all,
I just signed up because before I went shooting headfirst into buying a build with a bunch of components I wanted to gather any feedback or suggestions on the build i'm proposing in case there is any advice on certain parts which may not be great if people have had personal experiences...
I am planning on getting the parts below, advice or help ensuring i get the best build would be really helpful. The main decision for me is what GPU to go for. It is going to be an RX5700 but which one? I am between the PowerColour Red Devil or Gigabyte RX5700 OC Gaming...
At the moment I only...
I'm currently stuck getting my 4 dimms to boot with XMP or any setting for that matter. 2 Dimms works fine no issue. This is my second kit. Ram is on the supported list for the motherboard and its 4 identical sticks. No matter the setting, even manually setting it to 1333mhz results in failure...
So after many long i retired my 4770K and Z87 board, and went for a Ryzen 3700X
Started from here:
(CM 690II, Gigabyte Z87X, i7-4770K, 16GB DDR3, 120Gb SSd, 1TB HDD, GTX 1080)
Gone to this, only kept the PSU and the GTX1080:
Farctal Meshify S2, 5x Alpenfohn Wing Boost 3 ARGB fans, x570...
Hi. There is a bios update available for my motherboard, It's a new PC, less than a month old and as far as I can tell is running great. I'll put specs below. I've never done a bios update before so I'm wondering if it's worth doing. How you can see if it's improved anything and what risks are...

Just posting to let anyone interested know that the patriot viper steel series ram (4400 cl19) is amazing value. I paid £130 for 2 x 8gb. I presumed it to be a quality set as it’s rated at 4400mhz with good timings. Running error free at 3600 14-14-14 with all timings suggested by the...
Hi all,
What are people's opinion on using RAM that isn't listed on a motherboard's QVL (qualified vendor list)?
I have a few options for my RAM purchase for my new Ryzen build but I am concerned if I choose the wrong RAM that I will have issues getting it to run at the advertised timings and...
