Should be fine.
Jeremiah Lopez
Yes, providing you're not overpaying for it. and you overclock it. It's really easy to overclock GPU's. A couple slider bars. Youtube it. You can't fuck up.

Is AsRock AB350M Pro4 ok mobo if I'm not going to overlock?
Jason Smith
not true
Christopher Young
Help guys, I am in a bind.
I kind of want to upgrade my rig, that is as follows:
I play some games (mostly Rainbow Six Siege) @ 144Hz so I am completely fine with med-low settings to achieve that framerate.
I feel my board aging more than the CPU to be honest, sometimes I have weird freezes or crashes (but very rarely). The CPU is still going strong.
Is it even useful to upgrade to the following: ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4 Ryzen 1600 16GB DDR4-3000
I would OC the CPU (try for 3.8) and could use the additional cores (sometimes have compute / compile tasks to do that would surely benefit from additional cores) as well as the CPU-side x265 encoding (I watch movies / shows exclusively on PC).
I feel like I could either go for this build now and basically speculate on the fact that AMD is going to use the same socket for Zen2 and ideally Zen3 so I could upgrade later (might also add another 16GB RAM later), or wait a while, see if prices come down a bit and go for at least the 1700 with this.
My main point is that my current rig's main parts (Mainboard, RAM, CPU) have lastet me 6 years and I want similar longevity from a new build, occasionally upgrading HDDs or the GPU without any major overhaul.
What would you guys recommend me to do? Wait? Buy now?
No, you could play CS GO and Overwatch at around 60fps, sometimes below, sometimes above.
Blake Jones
If you want it to last the longest time then consider getting higher frequency memory to get the most performance possible out of the CPU & maybe get an R5 1600x to make sure you get to 4GHz Better RAM should also ensures better performance for future Ryzen CPUs, unless for some random reason they ditch the CCX design (no reason they would)
Buying now is perfectly fine, Zen2 isn't coming anytime soon.
Aaron Murphy
I had a GTS 450 with an FX8350 and would play Arma3 just fine. Low detail, but fine.
Jackson Robinson
I was running GTAV, TW3 and Dark Souls 3 at medium settings/1080p on a similar machine last year (phenom ii 965 & hd7850) so I would say yes. As long as you overclock that q6600 off the face of the planet (aim for at least 4ghz) you should be able to play newer games at low to medium settings.
Tyler Robinson
nope, it's an ok mobo if you're going to overclock. If you don't plan to overclock ever just buy a A320 for cheap.
Xavier Gonzalez
Thank you for your input. I thought the highest that Ryzen memory scales to is 3200 and over all the benches I have seen, the consensus atm seems to be that if you reach 2666, anything above it has diminishing returns, so I opted for the 3000er RAM (G.Skill RipJaws V red DIMM 16GB, DDR4-3000, CL15-15-15-35) to be on the safe side. It also has fairly low latency I feel - I don't want to go for CL14, it is always like 10-20% more expensive here in Germany
Am I misinformed here? Does the 3200 RAM really make a noticeable difference?
Also, should I go for the 1600 or the 1700?
Nicholas Bell
>Also, should I go for the 1600 or the 1700? depends. What are you doing with the computer?
Austin Lopez
If i were you i'd wait for next gen. Essentially if you plan to upgrade to amd wait for Zen2 and Navi or Vega probably sometime next year. The r5 1600 upgrade will increase performance but i don't consider worth it to spend for now. Just overclock gpu and see if you can get a stable further cpu overclock maybe invest in a better cooler too so you can use it for when you upgrade too. However doing these extreme overclocks will reduce the lifespan of your system but it should be okay considering you're already planing to upgrade. To get a better idea just expect your fps in games only to increase moderately but your multithreaded computing / compile tasks to get on a whole different level.
Nolan Rivera
cas latency doesn't matter much on ryzen build mhz affects it far more.
Luis Anderson
You realize Q6600 is more than double as old as FX8350? It's from 2006, while FX8350 is from 2012.
Michael Gomez
Was thinking of going with a 7700k for gaymen, but two things kinda concerns me.
1 is about the things not being able to overclock. That still a problem or was something done about it? I'm still kind of figuring these things out.
The other is how long it would last as a good gaming processor. I hear rumblings of some possible new processors coming and I'm not sure if I should wait or go ahead and get it.
Xavier Bell
Yes, just giving an idea of what he can expect.
Lincoln Butler
>That still a problem or was something done about it? That's a problem with the TIM between the heatspreader and the actual CPU die. Can't do shit for it except delidding.
>The other is how long it would last as a good gaming processor. Considering it's a 4 core, this is highly unpredictable. But there is no doubt current 6 cores CPU will last much longer.
Hunter Lee
I've been reading about GPUs as I was feeling a bit clueless and I'm wondering what people are referring to when they talk about custom PCBs. Do vendors actually design their own cards within a model's specs or are they just changing small things like the power connectors within a design given by AMD/Nvidia? Overclocking aside, do they have significant differences not visible just in the specs?
Juan Foster
Comparing the two is like comparing a G4560 to an OCed 6600K, or even 6700k.
Benjamin Cox
Would I have an interest for the Ryzen 9 for realistic 3D modelling and game design ?
Luis Allen
? Deneb and Kentsfield have very similar IPC, and the 7850 is only a small amount faster than the 560ti. What strange comparison have I made?
Caleb Myers
Pictured are two different PCB, one being an Asus one and bottom most likely a reference one It's the exact same specs, just that they might have different power connectors (8+8 for better OC / housefire), different display connectors (some card with Displayport, some with VGA), different size and most importantly better quality components. For the 9xx series, Gigabyte was considered the best manufacturer because their card had custom pcb with high quality VRMs allowing for the best overclocks.
But the specs are the same except from stock & boost clocks, and power draw.
Christian Moore
>cas latency doesn't matter much on ryzen build >mhz affects it far more.
That's what I thought. There is a difference, but it is negligible according to all benchmarks. Only higher RAM clock gives performance boost.
>>depends. What are you doing with the computer?
Sometimes I do some fairly big monte-carlo simulations in GAMS / Excel. They can take a while on my current system. I also dual-boot linux / win and on linux mostly compile from source. So the additional number-crunching power of Ryzen would be appreciated.
What I do not yet do but would LOVE to do is reencode the x264 video files I have to x265 to save space, but the 2600k is extremely slow with this. I guess the 1700 would clearly beat the 1600 out of the park in this regard.
Oh yeah and also some light gaming, as I mentioned.
>To get a better idea just expect your fps in games only >to increase moderately but your multithreaded computing >/ compile tasks to get on a whole different level.
Since I already hit 144 fps in Siege, I don't mind the gaming side of things with Ryzen
>If i were you i'd wait for next gen. >Essentially if you plan to upgrade to amd wait for >Zen2 and Navi or Vega probably sometime next >year.
I don't want to upgrade my 480 now, that card is still running super good. Also have a stable OC @1395Mhz Core. But I feel that sometime soon my current board might hit the PCIe ceiling. It only has PCIe2x connection.
Jeremiah Powell
Q6600 has way worse single thread, and multi thread, performance.
Brody Sullivan
Well the AM4 board has good upgradability for the future but i just feel like the whole build is not worth the money for the performance boost overall that you will be getting. If your current build doesn't limit you or prevent you from doing things that you want to do i don't see why upgrade now.
Dylan Davis
Kentsfield is equal to or even faster than Deneb at the same clocks. Sorry about low qual image but it's the best I could find on the old forums.
Adam King
Seems like the most appropriate place to put this, I'm wondering if anyone can help me out.
I just recently bought a 144hz GSYNC monitor (newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009908), and since connecting it, I've been experiencing A/V micro stutters about every three or four seconds, whether in application or on my desktop. I'm wondering if this has ever occurred to anyone else, or if anyone may know a solution. Thanks in advance!
Did anyone see am4 motherboards in mitx size anywhere in the wild? I've just jumped here from the ryzen thread and I've seen that Biostar board but only Newegg lists in and it's not available. Suspiciously it has reviews on it, how are people getting it?
Adam Jones
It goes out of stock within 20 minutes of restocks.
Angel Johnson
Is this thread to ask about mice? My current one is being destroyed by new cat, I'm assuming it's gonna be dead by the end of the week. It's a corsair m65, I cannot stand the assymetrical layout/claw layout. The buttons/placement are fine but I'd like a normal hand mouse next. Any suggestions? I looked at zeowie or something last night and liked the simple, normal and minimal design but my god the price seems ridiculous for it.
Aiden Hall
>Sometimes I do some fairly big monte-carlo simulations in GAMS / Excel. They can take a while on my current system. >I also dual-boot linux / win and on linux mostly compile from source. So the additional number-crunching power of Ryzen would be appreciated. Sounds like you could make use of a 1700 at bare minimum, if not a 1700X or 1800X
Jose Rogers
is the i5 3470 still a good processor for everyday computing, programming and virtualization with no gaming? I've got this Dell SFF machine for a while now and I love it to bits as it was very cheap (ex-corp), quiet and small too. I've put in 16GB of ram as I normally have too many tabs open and one or two virtual machines open.
Adam Bell
I see now, thanks! My mistake was using an old mail address with Newegg, I've checked it now and it has a notification on May 17th. So it exists!
Connor Rivera
Eh. Power Color cheap GPUs tend to not be good, just like cheap MSI and Gigabyte. Their Red Devil cards are amazing, the best or close to it, but obviously they're more expensive.
If getting a cheap one, I'd stick with Sapphire. XFX seems to have improved their cheap ones this time around, too.
Yeah, it's okay for that. Idk. My i5-2500k was barely handling just programming though when it comes to profiling and debugging. It would chug, though a lot of that problem seemed to be disk i/o.
Connor Sanders
If you upgrade to a desktop with a r5 1600 or r7 1700 you will notice otherworldy difference. But if you feel that your setup doesn't constrain you at all you know the saying "if it aint broke don't fix it"
Anthony Morgan
Would recommend sapphire rx 580 8gb nitro+ if priced similarly. PowerColor is okay too, haven't seen a single person having issues with their cards other than pricing/performance. If you're looking into the highest end of the rx 580s either get a reasonably priced golden sample from powercolor otherwise sapphire nitro+ is the way to go.
Samuel Brown
Good points. Currently use a SSD so I have that going for me. I feel like leaving too many tabs open even with ram management extensions is slowing the whole system down regardless of RAM available. Ultimately might move to using a linux distro.
Jaxon Foster
>Can't do shit for it except delidding Oof. Was afraid of that. I guess not overclocking is still a safe option, but in that case why get a k in the first place. >highly unpredictable Was afraid of that too. I do mess around with emulators too sometimes, so the speed is sort of an interest to me.
Now I'm not so sure...
Angel Turner
Yeah.. on Windows with an i5-2500k, which is similar to that, I'd have my IDE open, browser for my references and looking things up. That's not so bad. But if I want to watch Twitch on my other monitor at the same time, that can be enough to slow it down. Add running debugging tools, and it'd just be so slow. Changing windows or just browser tabs would be so fucking slow.
My 1600X is so fast now. Instant tab switching. On my i5-2500k I'd often have to run twitch on 720p. Now 1080p60fps is fine and it never drops frames even when something else is using lots of resources. Jumping through debugging steps in the profiler is so snappy. Also handles dozens of porn videos playing at once, which is also nice.
But if you find it works for you, it works. Might work better on Linux.
Hudson Young
If you get a good cooler overclocking to 4.6/4.7ghz is still viable If you want the easy answer, if you're building on a budget consider ryzen if you don't care about costs build a i7 7700k(if you're planing to game mainly) If you do choose ryzen good budget options are r5 1600 and r7 1700 choose wisely after you estimate the core count that'll benefit you most depending on your use.
Luis Smith
That's kind of the thing. Budget isn't the problem so in that regard I'd go 7700k mainly for gaming and some emulating with a little of just dicking around with anything I might find interesting.
But I still want this computer to last a long time, and like you said the future of 4 cores is unpredictable.
Cooper Cox
For some reason, the LAN led of my mobo (Asus H110m-k) doesn't turn on. Pc is saying that there's not any ethernet cable linked, when actually it is. I tried rebooting and removing and relinking the cable, but I didn't solve the problem. It's stange because my connection worked very well till last night, when I shut down my pc. It's the first time it happens since when I built my pc. Recently I noticed that my internet connection went on and off at times, but it stayed on after some minutes. Please help an ignorant.
Charles Bell
sounds like you want a 1600 then.
Andrew Wilson
But isn't the 1700 and such faster? Or did I hear about it wrong?
Gabriel Parker
In that case consider r7 1800x and a 1080 ti. It essentially is going to be a more future-proof 7700k build. Also it might be worth investing in end-game cooling that you'll be using for all your future builds considering how slowly that evolves. Same deal with PSUs. r7 1800x isn't great value for money but it is decent especially comparing to intels 8-core cpus and also it is on a brand new mobo with good future upgrades. Pair it up with a Asrock x370 Taichi or Asus x370 Crosshair VI for the sick overclocks on a reliable build and get cheapest 2x8gb 3600mhz CL doesnt matter. For graphics card if you can wait get the best consumer vega we expect release dates at 31st of may and they're estimated to be around june 31st max. Otherwise refer to op for whichever gpu fits your gaming needs. It will probably cost you considerably much but you will be able to hold onto that build for a very long time, at least until there is some technological breakthrough on gaming-grade cpus like getting somehow stable safe 7ghz safe clocks which is very unlikely, it seems like the logical turn now is for gamings to start steadily utilize more cores and more threads considering the voltage and heats cpus suffer under high overclocking.
Wyatt Carter
The 1600 is just a 1700 with 2 cores deactivated. The 1600 is better for gaming. You're not going to see much, if any improvement in gaming with a 1700 over a 1600. 95% of games aren't developed to make use of more than 4 cores. Where the 1700 shines is everything but gaming. heavy multi-thread and multi-core workloads like video editing/rendering, etc.
Bentley Reed
If you actually stream, and I mean a stream with viewers, 1700 is a good pick. I'm really surprised not more streamers sell their shitty 7700k, and get a 1700 instead. No need for a double computer stream set up.
1600 for real amateur streamers though, no point in investing so much money into 0 viewers.
Michael Cruz
>95% of games aren't developed to make use of more than 4 cores. Lies, any game from the past 3 - 4 years use anywhere from 8 to 12 threads very easily I havent seen a single game on my R7 1700 where i had a thread being unused You don't "program to use more than 4 cores", you program to spread the load dynamically based on core count, which is what the vast majority of game engines do
Ethan Scott
>Lies, any game from the past 3 - 4 years use anywhere from 8 to 12 threads very easily I said cores, not threads. The R5 1600 has 12 threads and 6 cores.
Look again at most modern games. They're optimized for 4 core workloads. This usually lease 6 core or more CPUs with 2 cores doing nothing.
Christopher Robinson
Why are you talking about cores? You cannot optimize for core count but rather thread count
>They're optimized for 4 core workloads. It is entirely true that most games are made with 4c8t in mind, but it doesn't mean it cannot spread the load further than that, because games (most specifically game engines) do spread the load further than that Otherwise R5 would see much higher CPU usage on the first 4/8 thread, but the load is instead spread.
Jack Nelson
Planning on upgrading my rig this summer. Currently running fx6300 @3.5g, gtx 760 2gb and 16g ram. Student budget, cant upgrade both cpu and gpu. Would my cpu bottleneck a 980? Are there better alternatives to a 980 (at about 300€ or less)? Cant really upgrade both parts since I dont have the money
Chase Kelly
Aren't they basically the same? I thought Sup Forums agreed that you should get the 1700 and OC it and only get the X variants of you don't want to OC and have the money lying around.
William Jenkins
Yeah, I was certainly going to go for good cooling. Especially with how sweltering it can get where I live.
From my understanding even if the game doesn't use all the threads or cores those extra cores could handle other things like OS background stuff.
That's just what I've heard, anyway. If I'm wrong then I am.
Jaxson Morris
>Would my cpu bottleneck a 980? yes
>Are there better alternatives to a 980 (at about 300€ or less)? RX 580, the 8GB version should be priced closely and should perform very very close to the 980 while having 8GB. There are also 4GB version that are much cheaper.
>From my understanding even if the game doesn't use all the threads or cores those extra cores could handle other things like OS background stuff. That is true, Windows (& any other OS) makes sure no thread gets maxed by moving background programs & anything else away from the thread that are being used a lot. But games are indeed optimised for high thread count instead of 4t like a lot of people believe.
David Barnes
>1700 and OC it and only get the X variants of you don't want to OC I think that's the case with r5 1600 not sure about r7.
Gabriel Morgan
looking for a case with a lot of drive bays but not a massive case. ive got a 300r and im somewhat annoyed that it only has 4 drive bays now that ive got to get get a 5th and 6th drive.
Speaking of which whats my best choice for a lot of drives? past 6 is using a sata splitter or something like that a thing since a hdd isnt even as fast as the sata standard and i only have 6 ports. Thinking ill be reaching 10+ disks
Luke Bailey
In that case just get a 1600X. You won't have to worry about overclocking, or if you do you might get an extra 50-200mhz overclock since chances of better silicon are higher.
The big benefit is that AM4 is here for 4+ years, while Intel only supports their sockets for 2 years. So in 3 or 4 years, you can just swap out the CPU while keeping the same cooler+bracket and motherboard, which is way easier than replacing the motherboard and without the hassle of Windows de-activating your license because you changed motherboards.
I wouldn't be surprised if in 2 or 3 years that 7nm or 7nm+ Ryzen ends up having similar or better per-core performance to the 7700k, except with 6 or 8 core options as well and the better SMT.
Even today, if you pair a 7700k with many ubisoft games like Assassins Creed Syndicate, GR Wildlands, or games like BF1 multiplayer, you get ~100% thread utilization across all or nearly all threads on the 7700k with a 1080Ti. The moment a graphics card comes out that's 10-30% faster than the 1080Ti, which is surely next year, the 7700k will be the bottleneck. Compare that to 2011, where you could OC a i7-2700k to 4.5GHz and it wouldn't bottleneck the latest GPU at 1080p in 2015. You have a CPU that'll last a year or two if you plan on upgrading GPU, versus one, or at least the platform, that'll last 4+. I think it's straight forward, put like that. I got the i5-2500k in 2011, and I got the 1600X now.
Elijah Watson
I would upgrade the CPU and worry about the GPU later. You'll keep the CPU longer than the GPU anyways.
Sup Forums has been pushing the 1600 for months. Have you not been paying attention? The 6 core 1600 is the golden chip of the Ryzen line up right now.
>From my understanding even if the game doesn't use all the threads or cores those extra cores could handle other things like OS background stuff. >That's just what I've heard, anyway. If I'm wrong then I am. That's correct. This is why the 1600 is heavily recommended. You get the best performance per price in games, while having room to have other shit in the background like Discord or Chrome. The 1700 has 8 cores so it allows you to do more in the background but it sees no real advantage over the 1600 in gaming. That's why the 1700/1700x/1800x are only recommended if you do video editing or other things that benefit from more cores and more threads.
Samuel Young
Did you notice that gaming is not my primary goal with this upgrade?
Juan Myers
Or I mean you could get the 1800X, if money really doesn't matter. but the 1600X is 95-100% the same performance in current games, and 75% the same performance in productivity, for half the cost.
They are the same chip design, but like anything that you make lots of they aren't identical. The most perfect ones become a 1800X. The ones that are nearly perfect except for 1 or 2 cores have 2 cores disabled and become a 1600X, or have all the clocks dropped down a bit to be a 1700X or 1700. 1800X will OC the best. 1600X will generally match those overclocks, or close, but on 2 less cores. You can overclock a 1700 to higher than stock 1800X performance, but you can OC the 1800X even better. It's very rare for a 1700 to hit over 4 or 4.05GHz on acceptable voltages. It's common for 1800X and 1600X to hit 4.1, and sometimes even 4.25 if you're really lucky or tune the OC very well with a good board.
