am4

8 years after launch of the AM4 socket they are still pushing out new CPU's for it. Ryzen R7 5700X3D, 8 cores 16 threads @ 4.1Ghz with 96MB of L3 Cache. Its the same CPU as the 5800X3D with 400Mhz lower clocks and $50 cheaper, $250 vs $300, the 5800X3D is currently selling for £290 so this...

Hi, reading up on this, apparently some addon on brackets were available to convert the old Raystorm CPU blocks to fit with the AM3 and AM4 socket CPUs. This seem discontinued and I am having hard time finding it - any ideas?

I will be swapping ryzen 1700 with 5800X3D. Are IHS logos for both processors oriented in the same direction or do I still need to align using the "arrow" mark. Thanks

My NH-D14 came with NF-P12 and NF-P14 non PWM fans, but I barely used them. Instead I used two Deepcool UF-140 PWM fans. I think PWM is what won me over, but maybe I underestimated Noctua's tuning. Also, I think they're case fans, rather than tuned to high static pressure for heatsinks and...

Hi guys. Had a bit of a disaster last night. I was going to swap my new CPU in (3700x replacing 3600) but when I removed the old CPU some surplus paste which had been on the side of the CPU somehow fell down onto the pin holes of the motherboard below. I've done my best to clean it but it seems...

I've just upgraded from a rather old i5 2500K to R5 3600 and wanted to take my Thermalright Silver Arrow heat sink. I've searched and searched but for the life of me cannot find anywhere that will send the AM4 bracket for this heatsink. I know the part i need is...

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong sub-forum to post in. I was wondering if anyone knows if a 3rd party AM4 mounting kit such as the one that Raijintek offers will work with mounting a Noctua cooler? I currently have a Rajintek themis cpu cooler installed and would like to switch that out for a...

I have a friend that is looking to build a PC for his son. His son has already put together a list, but I have been reading up on X570 boards and some of the boards seem to have cold boot issues. I was looking at the X570 Aurous Wifi Pro model but it seems to have these issues. I like it but I...

So I've been rocking my Intel 4790k for what will be 6 years in June, and I've decided it's finally time to upgrade the core of my PC. The only component I've fully settled on is a Ryzen 3800X, so I'm looking for recommendations on motherboard, memory, maybe cooling, and maybe PSU. Starting...

I currently have an MSI b450 Gaming Plus ITX, which apparently has VRMs good enough for the 3900X. However, I also want bifurcation, which this board doesn't officially support. Oddly though the latest BIOSes do contain the x8+x8 option - but maybe it's a mistake as it doesn't seem to work. My...

Anyone know where I can get a replacement AM4 socket cover? I got some thermal goop in mine and broke it into three bits when trying to remove it to clean. I don't need the entire socket, just the bit that clips and slips on top. I looked on Ebay and I don't want to give £10 to someone in...

I have the ryzen 2700x and aorus x470 gaming 7 I want to buy 32 GB ram with CAS 14 at 3200 MHz, the motherboard's QVL only have the G.skill flareX 32GB (4x8)[ F4-3200C14Q-32GFX] but I read the the 4 ram dimm on AM4 can't run at 3200 MHz Will I have any problem if I buy a kit with 2x16 GB?

Hi all, I'm planning to delid my Ryzen 2400G in order to overclock the CPU and iGPU whilst still using the stock wraith stealth cooler in the in-win chopin case. I'll be using the "der8auer delid die mate 2" plus the AMD adapter kit...

Hey folks so I have my old H50 that's currently sitting around not doing much so thought may as well put it to go use I've ordered the AM4 retention bracket from Corsair plus some Thermal grizzly and arctic clean from ocuk. :) Anyone used this combination before on a socket AM4 chip wondering...

X470 Gaming Pro Carbon Review Introduction It’s been a while since I’ve written a motherboard review, particularly one for AMDs X470 chipset so I thought it was about time for another peoples review taking a look at an X470 chipset motherboard again. Today we will be looking at an offering...

Hi all, m/b = Asus Prime B350M-K RAM (memory) = 1x 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (BLS8G4D26BFSE = DDR4-2666MHz, CL16-16-18-18 @ 1.2v) I understand that the timings are relating to the CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS in the product flyer (page 2)? In the BIOS I have understood the following so far but I...

It has 6 SATA connections which I was cool with, and then to my dismay, found that the M.2 disables the SATA 5/6 ports. OK, no big deal...My question is this - does that cover *both* the M.2 slots, so that if I add a second NvME it'll give me some storage back, or am I going to lose additional...

So I am using raisonjohn's awesome sortable AM4 Motherboard database to find the right motherboard for my requirements (i.e. to properly support my Silverstone PM02 case): 4+ System Fan Headers 2xUSB3.0 Headers Intel Ethernet Full ATX I intend to get a 2nd Generation Ryzen 5 2600 so, as I...

Hi iv overclocked before , but I changed the multiplier to 37 3.7ghz on a Ryzen 1600, but I’m running a stress test and cpu z is showing the multiplier at x15? Think it’s to do with the power states and cool and quiet and all that business but I’ve forgotten which ones you turn on or off to keep...

Hi all, I'm here looking for help. As title says, I built a new pc a week ago, now it is failing to boot, the led alternates between CPU (like 3-4 seconds) and DRAM (just a short flash). It happened after I restarted from Windows, bios/oc settings had not been changed in that session. I had...
