current board doesn't like 2 x gpu's regardless of bios or settings such as going from pcie 4.0 to pcie 3.0 3060 12GB won't work on a x1 riser, so I need a board with 2 good pcie slots

Nobody? I'm not looking to mine big scale and deprive gamers of cards. I paid ott for 3060 12GB's (from ocuk) just to get half decent gaming cards and want to recoup a little of my outlay, but the 12GB models are gimped to not work on risers or 1x slots, hence why they can be bought for £550 or...

Setting bios to pcie 3.0 was a good plan as most risers can't handle 4.0 Why do you think it is mobo and not gpu or riser? x570 boards really don't like risers in my limited experience. edit : just read the other threads. Interesting.

You will be fine. Even with a different motherboard windows 10 will usually work it out OK.

As per title. I am looking for recommendations for a ryzen board that will let me use 2 x rtx 3060's at the same time (for mining). My current board (asrock x570 phantom gaming 4) is being a complete pita.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question. If my broadband goes offline, will my WiFi still connect my battery powered security camera to my phone?

AMD will generally be cheaper, cooler, quieter and use less electric for similar performance, depending on your use case. I agree with the other comments about considering a new larger main monitor and moving current main to secondary. Monitor tech and prices are great just now. As always...

I'd save for another month or go 2nd hand. b550 will get you an extra generation upgrade option over b450. 2x 8GB ram would make a big difference and best to buy them in a kit. You could go cheaper on the gpu in the short term. I have that power supply, but might go to 650 if I could.

2nd hand would be a brilliant deal, assuming you could actually see the 3600 working before purchasing. I'd say you'd maybe even make a profit on it. 3400G could be a short term option if you wanted to sell your existing GPU (or whole PC) and wait for whatever nvidia and amd do next.

Memory should be a simple matter of going into bios at startup (you'll see a message before windows starts that tells you what button to press), then finding the enable XMP option and selecting it, then save and exit.

3600 will hold it's value as it's so good and people will hold onto it imo. I'd be watching for 3700x dropping in price as more with that will upgrade to 4000 (or 5000 or whatever it is called). I can see 3600x for cheaper than 3600 in some places.

Generally speaking (throughout PC, not just in graphics), larger fans are/were quieter and more efficient than smaller ones. For that reason my preference would be a double fan model, but I note that a lot of the newer triple fan models have the middle fan going the opposite direction to the...

Ryzen 3600 seem to have crept up in price. It is my favorite bang for buck price, but I might be tempted to go for something cheaper as a working placeholder for next gen ryzen next month. A license for Windows is now optional (you get a nagging watermark message bottom right of display and...

re PSU, I'm comfortably running a 2080Ti on an otherwise modest system on a Corsair 550W psu. Some of the PSU "requirements" are ass covering. (ryzen 3600, 32GB ram, AIO cooler, 1 ssd) On that note, go for 32GB ram if you can as it's not that dear at present.

Lets say that a 3080 is more like £800 than £700 just now and is 25% above a 2080Ti in performance. That puts 2080Ti's at around £550-£600, compared to £450-500 before benchmarks yesterday. I wouldn't pay more than £500, but still think £500 for maybe 3 months and getting £400 back is a good...

I FYP'ed or whatever you pesky kids call it. Posting more makes you a spammer, not me a troll. ps Happy 10 year anniversary for next Saturday. You will be a 10 year old troll again.

Not yet, but Thanks for the tip and I certainly will.

AMD have genuinely been punked this time. Nvidia have them spanked in the short term. It is looking increasingly likely AMD will not have many cards actually available until 2021 and even then their only selling point will be more memory than nvidia 3070 and 3080 for similar performance for...

I love your thinking. I swapped out a 580 for a 2080 Ti (£480) yesterday and will likely swap back, since I've discovered I don't have enough fingers for witcher3, so no chance for cyberpunk.
