Building a simple low end PC for light office use & the odd video.
If I plug a Ryzen 3200G into a HDR TV will it do 10bit HDR?
Cant find the answer anywhere

The 2200G and 3200G are the same architecture so i spent a little time looking with 2200G search strings, the 3200G is brand new and is unlikely to come up with any results.

Still, all i found was this... https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/microarchitectures/vega

I don't know if that's any use to you, using the 2200G search string instead of 3200G may get you better search results, or maybe think about putting the same question on AV forums?
 
Thanks, yeah looks like it can do 4k/60 10bit on-chip which is nice though limited to HDMI 1.4 or display port.
My TV does not have a display port so looks like a separate GPU is needed for HDMI HDR.
It looks a good cheap all round chip though.

No Problem :)
 
Worked out a cheap £330 PC build? I already have a spare SSD & DVDROM as my 12yr old ex water cooled Q6600 is near death. I presume this Ryzen will be much faster as currently Lightroom runs in slow motion -taking 5 seconds to load an image! Plus a good APU which can game at 1080p medium settings much better than my current nVidia 470 (embarrassing), but it's not for gaming. Perhaps a separate GPU 4K/60 HDMI HDR (1060) £170 for the future?

Yeah all ryzen mobos suport HDMI 2.0 due to the fact the CPU supports it at a hardware level, ignore the 1.4 specs for the HDMI ports on mobos.
 
Ooh bonus if it can do HDMI 2 or 4k/60.
Does it look like I have everything? I've been out the game for over a decade. Ahh the Celeron 300 was a blast at 450 but being of the first enthusiasts to do water cooling was a fright.
 
I would spend a couple more £ on a board with Heat Syncs on the VRMs, for example... https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-b450m-gaming-plus-socket-am4-ddr4-matx-motherboard-mb-349-ms.html

The Asus will be fine but IMO if for 2 or 3 £ more you can get a board that doesn't have naked VRMs it's worth it if for nothing else peace of mind as the VRMs on that Asus will run much hotter.

Zen+ (Ryzen 2000/3000 APU's) are significantly faster than your Q6600, a lot actually.

The rest of the system looks good, if you're only using it for 4K HDR Video playback the GTX 1060 is complete overkill, a GTX 1050 will do that job just as well, as a gaming GPU the GTX 1060 is ok, as long as you get the 6GB one, the 3GB one.... just no. however don't expect 4K or even 1440P high FPS gaming with it, unless the games are very old.

The only other advice i could give you is that with the Ryzen APU's the 2000 and 3000 series are actually the same, if you can find a 2400G for around the same money as the 3200G go for the 2400G as it has SMT (4 cores 8 threads vs 4 cores 4 threads on the 2200/3200G) they are not like the Ryzen 2000 vs Ryzen 3000 CPU's (2600 / 3600 up) where they are completely different architectures, the latter being a much better CPU.
 
Photos to answer my question that the Ryzen can do 4k/60 HDR :D
The 11yr old water-cooled quad Q6600 was on its death bed with burnt out USB's & a melted PCIe slot etc. so had to upgrade the PC -ahh the last of the CPU's to not have a government back door built in.
Here's the new £380 rig as already had a few drives. I's not a top end £2k games rig, but with a £200 GPU next month hopefully it will be better than a Xbox X (which I can then sell), plus each photo will no longer take 10 seconds to load in Lightroom -the main reason to upgrade. Trying to figure out what GPU will do the job, don't fancy Nvidia as their drivers have a fundamental fault on Windows & Linux where they can't remember the brightness setting after a reboot.
Its a Ryzen5 2400G APU (thanks humbug), 16GB 3200Mhz Corsair RAM on a MSI B450 Gaming Plus (thanks humbug) micro ATX mobo.
The midi tower is quite petit & its running 30c at stock -YAY. No M.2 yet so gone RAID0 on 2x SSD & 2x 1TB.
The keen eyed amongst you will notice a PCI x4 card which is an existing RE200 USB3 card I had. Also the DVDRom is not connected, 4 SATA ports ain't enough D'oh! :/
Getting some fast speeds even on the old mechanical drives like over 200MB/sec write but a good advantage of RAID0 is not total speed but access.
The extended front USB3 on the tower is running at USB3 speed but all the rear ports are only running at USB2 speed :/

You're welcome :)

Thanks for reporting back, it's always nice to see the results when giving some advice in the forum, it look's like a good HTPC rig, i'm sure you'll enjoy it.
