Components to match

[Minibiker]

Hi all

On payday (Thursday) I am ordering the Ryzen 1300X for my new build.. I would also need motherboard and RAM.. any recommendations please?

Ideally I'd like a ITX board as I'm downsizing to the Enthoo evolv ITX, not sure if AMD have that size.

Thanks

ITX boards are starting to appear but they're not cheap and they're thin on the ground.

Gigabytes offering - clicky

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte AB350N-GAMING WIFI AMD B350 (Socket AM4) DDR4 Mini ITX Motherboard= £110.99
• 1 x Asrock X370 Gaming-ITX/ac AMD X370 (Socket AM4) DDR4 Mini-ITX Motherboard= £159.95

EDIT: And get minimum 3000MHz memory - Team Group/Kingston is good value.

16GB and 8Gb examples...

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G30= £119.50

You should check the HCL to make sure the RAM works. Geil do AMD-specific RAM:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x GeIL Evo X AMD Edition 16GB (8GBx2) PC4-25600 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (GAEXY416GB3200C16AD= £155.50

Total: £164.20
(includes shipping: £8.70)

Agreed, the 3200MHz kits are still very hit and miss.

But the 3000MHz kits are cheaper, very little gains to be had if on a budget, and will usually hit the 2933MHz using XMP with the latest BIOS/AGESA release.

There's still an element of pot luck (members have same boards same memory but differing results) but the TEAM Group Vulcan kits usually hit 2933MHz with Gigabye's latest BIOS releases - on the Gaming 3 Mobos. I would hope their new ITX boards will be equally slutty...

I would hands down take that asrock board over the giga any day, but them I'm probably biased!

Gigabyte have UK RMA; do Asrock?
