    Msi b450 TOMAHAWK max compatibility

    Yes they will be compatible, the mobo will run the memory just fine. Bare in mind, mobo makers can't test every last memory out there, so just use QVL's as a guide rather then gospel. Should be as simple as just setting xmp and off you go. I have 8 Packs extreem 4000mhz sticks running on my...

    Ryzen 5 3600 4.2ghz Bundle

    Is it just a standard bundle or one of OCUK's pre overclocked bundles? If standard then it will be as Vince said, if its a pre- overclocked one then OCUK will have manually configured a 24/7 overclock @ 4.2ghz. There will be a saved profile in the bios for that, but they ship stock. So it...

    Ryzen 5 3600 4.2ghz Bundle

    There will most likely be a saved profile in the bios that you will need to load up.

    Alphacool Eisbaer Extreme vs EK-MLC Phoenix 280

    I have the Phoenix 280 myself, cooling both my cpu and gpu (2600x & 1070ti), id echo everything drex said really, not had to refill yet, but easy enough to do if needed. One thing to note especially if planning to use in a small case, the tubing length is longer then normal CLC's. Temps wise i...

    DIY Water cooling kits

    Depends really, some are really anal about that others not so much. Most recommend replacing the fluid every 2 years or so. Iv found iv usually changed something in the loop even before that 2 year ever comes round. So technically its not really maintenance as such. I would say just regular...

    DIY Water cooling kits

    High end air is and always will be on par with AIO's, just AIO's help when it comes to space around the socket (ram). If you have been looking at both kits via certain sites i can't mention due to being competitors at the current prices the Alphacool Hurricane (240) kit wins hands down vs the...

    DIY Water cooling kits

    The alphacool kits are not really classed as cheap, just not as expensive as it could be. Liquid cool on the other hand would be classed as cheap (still totally fine though) all chinese parts that don't come without the price premium of EU stuff. Just a heads up there are like 3 versions of the...

    1600x to 3600?

    It does, iv been keeping an eye on it personally as i have the same board, there is actually an even newer bios now with updated agesa, the previous one to that one added support upto the R7 3800X. Vrms may get toasty on the beefier cpu's but for the lower ones i can't see an issue personally...

    1600x to 3600?

    Just a side note, the 3600 will be totally fine in the B350-F, all it needs is the latest bios. So you can make use of the new cpu, then later on upgrade the mobo if required.

    Ryzen 2600 Overclocking. Clocks always at 4Ghz?

    As above and also check in the power management in windows that the minimum processor state (for which ever power plan you use) is'nt set to 100%.

    Pic on the box of the switch is green, has "Clicky Keys" with a green background also, so i am assuming Green. Apart from that there is nothing on the box stating otherwise, same info as OC put up. So hope that helps ya a bit.

    ** FOUND AT THE BACK OF THE RAZER WAREHOUSE BLACKWIDOW TKL MECH KEYBOARD SAVE £35 **

    Was gonna wait till mine arrived today to confirm its UK Layout, the images on the site and even on the box are just stock photo's. Nik beat me to it though.

    Is the msi x470 gaming pro better than the msi b450 carbon pro

    Unless you need the X470 chipset for a particular reason then no it would not be worth it. Your Current Mobo can handle any of the cpu's you throw at it, and has decent VRM's (For B450) with decent cooling, the Gaming pro may have slightly (very slightly) better vrm's but actually has worse vrm...

    Experience with B Grade Items

    I generally look now and then, but the prices of the B grade stuff is 99% of the time way to close to retail to even be worth the risk, and thats not even taking into account the warranties. That alone should drop the prices way down from near retail. So its very rare that i buy open box/returns...

    Ryzen 3 1200 upgrade

    An Msi customer rep wrongly stated to a customer e-mail that one of their top end X370 mobos would'nt support it. There was a big uproar about that so MSI clarified the situation stating the customer rep gave out the wrong info at the time. Everything iv read upto now states B350 and upwards...

    Ryzen 3 1200 upgrade

    B350 is supported for the 3000 series, it is the A320 chipset that is not supported by mobo vendors atleast. It is still always best to check specifically to your own mobo though. All the OP has to do is make sure his bios is on version F30 (and updated chipset drivers also) which as the latest...

    Ryzen 3 1200 upgrade

    If you are not feeling any issues, but think an upgraded cpu might be good. And are considering uping the core count, and base speeds by going R5. My advise would be wait.. totally skip the 1600/2600 series of cpus, and wait for the 3000 series as those will be better, as of yet it is all...

    Have GPU, heatsink, PSU, SSD and HDD. Need others.

    As Plec said, shop around abit, but here is my 2 min attempt. The Tomahawk is arguable the lowest you want to go on a mobo, semi decent with a little future proofing. Any thing lower yes you are saving but you will just end up re-buying down the line. My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Phanteks...
