A couple pics I took today

Rock on. I remember when you could ask questions here and not be made to feel like an asshole but lesson learned. Thanks again guys for the help and answering questions. See you in 5 more years

I have been running my 6600k for3 years constant stress 4.4ghz overclock without degradation at first it was ran hard and benched heavily then just ran normal. That said temps like that can screw your cpu up but I would be more worried about your vrms on the board and the surrounding components...

Sorry I also have a asrock z390 phantom gaming 4 board I picked up for 90 shipped I figured 90 for the board 200 for the cpu and better performance then what I have I must not have mentioned that sorry Really? I thought we were a month or so out that’s why I said that with an asrock z390 gaming...

in the asrick website it lists comparability for the i5 9600k since the first bios release?

Right but if I wait to upgrade to that I may as well wait another few months for the new ryzen ugh damn pc part release schedules!!!! So basically I screwed up buying an amd graphics card ugh to late now

So an update I check pc parts picker and did some comparisons and I decided to keep my budget to 300 and for 301 I was able to snag a i59600kand a z390 phantom gaming 4 motherboard both are on my low end of what I wanted but give me the ability to dabble with new tech and still the option for...

I hadn’t thought of switching to amd mainly because last I saw was am4 am4+ days and those weren’t good days lol. I’ll have to look into some setups and post some ideas on here Edit I meant am3 am3+

I recently bought a Radeon 5600xt 6gb version. But I’m still having some cpu issues when twitch streaming games so I need more then 4 cores. I don’t want a new mobo right now I can’t afford both so I would like suggestions I know there are 2, 8 core k Versions compatible with this mobo what’s...

I have beenfairly inactive with pc parts these days last time I was really in it was the 4870x2 days and the core i7 had just come out lol prices are way higher now

im not sure why so much all I know is I looked at reviews and comparisons and the version I have is supposed to be comparable to i could be wrong saying this but a 2060gtx?? i was going to switch to nvidia but this card did slightly better the the nvidia card I was looking at and was 50 cheaper...

so recently I tried playing some games and found my r9380x too be lackluster with newer games. I twitch stream so smoothness is important to me. I pulled the trigger on a ASRock Phantom Gaming D3 Radeon RX 5600 XT and now realize my board only supports pci-e 3.0. is this gonna screw me? I would...

tried all the above. same issue. card works fine in another rig. most have fried the pci-e slot somehow :confused::confused::confused:

ok so I gifted my friend a msi gtx460 hawx for his podcast rig because he was using on cpu graphics. his rig is an intel i5 7400 with 8gb of generic crucial ram and a barebones motherboard I gave him the gtx460 and a 550w corsair psu for christmas it ran great for the past couple weeks then...

so ryzen looks really nice. im going to end up that route. only thing I dont like is board selection in the us right now is limited to like 6 models. i may wait a week or 2 see if that changes I thought about upgrading my current rig but it seems I would need a whole new motherboard to do so and...
