Desktop Computers

So, looks like I might have a bad motherboard (ASRock x470 Taichi). Still in warranty but I can't be without my computer if I need to send it for RMA.

I might just buy a new mobo and sell the replacement when it gets sent.

Was thinking about doing a B550 board, mostly because I hate the active cooling on the X570s.

This one is some what reasonable price wise. Am I being dumb? Kind of prefer to stay away from ASRock now.

Check this out: GIGABYTE B550 AORUS Elite (AM4 AMD/B550/ATX/Dual M.2/SATA 6Gb/s/...

I pretty much only buy MSI boards atm, got burned with Asus and ended up buying MSI products. Also i think their B550 is the best version? i forget.

As I wrote in the other thread my Asus ITX motherboard seems to be broken. Memory slot one gives me RAM error and BSOD but slot two seems to work fine. Running 1x8gb now in slot 2 and will test a few games.

Will DOA the card and get another one. It seems they have restocked on mATX cards now so will probably get one of those. Asrock B550 Steel Legend is the same priceclass as the one I got earlier so maybe it can be an option.

I just pre-ordered the MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS from B&H for $150. Hope it fixes my issues.

EDIT: Wrong thread

They are starting to get pricey, thought only the AIO were expensive. Will have to invest in something for my ryzen though, stock cooler is noisy.

Jesus, my NH-D15S barely fits in my case. the 2nd fan wont fit over part of the motherboard on one side, and on the other side with ram, i had to raise it slightly And the assassin 3 just looks that much bigger. Good video though.

So apparently yesterday Windows Update included the change (when paired with Nvidia drivers) that fixes the problems with two monitors with different refresh rates. Still broken for me. Don't really understand.

What was the problem? I did fresh windows install last week and have 2 monitors at two different refresh rates. One at 144hz and another at 60hz.

My G-Sync settings. 120Hz monitor. These look correct?

I could be wrong, but it was my understanding if you have a gsync monitor, you don't want to use vsync. as the monitor is handling that process for you.

So no gains...

Hmm the Lian Li Odyssey X looks pretty sweet, i may swap that in place of the p3 for my winter build.
