Not yet, I’m not sure RMA’ing will find anything on either. I’m assuming it’s a specific combination that’s to blame. I was thinking of just selling both mobo and CPU on independently at a hefty loss, what would you do here @Journey? Currently waiting on an LGA1700 adapter for the Arctic Liquid...

Went for it, then checked the MSI_Gaming Subreddit and looks like there might be a few similar issues, cross everything for me!

@mickyflinn the MSI x570 Tomahawk-AMD issue is a pretty fresh wound, I know Intel has far better support but any other good alternatives? or am I wrong in worrying lightning will strike twice with MSI?

It won’t POST anymore so I’m past being able to try things, I’ve just cleaned and packed everything away. Would be great to get feedback on the upgrade bundle instead, is it worth going with the cheaper Intel CPU and spending more on the mobo? What about WI-FI mobo versions vs an adapter?

Literally everything running stock BIOS settings, no XMP, no Game boost. RAM is set to 2400MHz by default in the BIOS and 3600MHz when you use XMP, tried with it on, off, off but manually set. Off but with only 2 sticks, off with the other two sticks. CPU-wise even at bios is runs at ~1.48V, if...

I've been having what seem like CPU safety restarts and regular mobo failing to POST with a CPU fail with an AMD 7 3700X and MSI x570 Tomahawk WIFI in the last few weeks. It's on the latest stable BIOS and chipset, flashing to the latest beta drivers didn''t fix anything. I've done some...

I've got this board with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, after a problem-free year I've just started getting constant reboots, sometimes the motherboard won't post and shows the CPU fail light. I'm on the latest stable BIOS (7C84v17) but what I see in CPU-Z is that the core CPU voltage creeps up and up...

I ended up with the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 ATX Motherboard and AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Processor (8C/16T, 36 MB Cache, 4.4 GHz Max Boost). After a problem-free year I've just started getting constant crashes, sometimes the motherboard won't post and shows the CPU fail light...

Thanks @merlin6r, it was as simple as that . Re the cable routing I added the extensions and it doesn’t seem to be running at 100% so ‍♂️.

Thanks both, I'll swap to this setup!

I just received one of these and it’s too large in the Fractal Define 7 case to top mount so I’m forced to front mount. The newbies questions I have are: - Do I remove the existing case fans at the front first and replace them with these? do I sandwich mount the radiator to the existing fans? -...

Parts arrived and the thing starts but I have a couple of questions, if anyone’s still reading :) The BIOS shows a XMP profile of 3600 RAM but then shows ‘current’ speed of 2600. I just need to find the settings to set the timings using info for this memory, right? The location of the case fan...

I went for @Sparx original spec except swapped the mobo for the MSI X570 Tomahawk, the Dell monitor and the Corsair RM750 PSU. I haven’t grabbed a GPU yet because the lead times on some of the parts is the end of the month.

Thanks everyone for the help. Order placed!

Tl;dr; I don’t know what I’m doing to make good choices. My understanding and please correct me if I’m wrong is that generally 650 should be enough for current gen single GPUs, 750-850+ is if you’re planning to run two. My thought process is that as I’m not planning to do that I’d have gone...

It was more the wattage than the make that I was asking about. Open to suggestions as always.

@Sparx I saw you’ve got a Corsair 750? Is it worth bumping to something similar for future proofing? I’ve ordered the Dell monitor, no idea what was wrong with it. I’ll order the rest today :)

Any recommendations for higher PSUs then? I won’t be doing SLI or CrossFire.

@4K8KW10 do you think it needs that much power?

Oh, the code doesn’t seem to work direct?
