The Ryzen 7 9800X3D has much lower power consumption than the Intel competition, making it a far cooler processor that won't require as expensive accommodations, like a beefy cooler, motherboard, and power supply. That means the 9800X3D delivers top-notch gaming performance and a cooler, qu...
As a result, it makes sense to go for a more expensive motherboard and a more mid-range chip, especially when AMD's offering here is genuinely impressive in what it can deliver for the money. It's an eight-core, 16-thread CPU with a...wait, come back! While that's not the most...
Hi, I already have an old build but since the motherboard is pretty old and supports only up to intel 7th gen I was looking to upgrade both that and the cpu(I have an MSI H110M PRO-VH with an i5-6400 2.4GHz rn). I currently have a GTX 960 4GBs but that's not the bottlen...
What's the best processor/motherboard combo for this laptop? Okay, so I've got a stock Lenovo Ideapad 350-15ABR, the processor specs are as such: AMD A12-9720P Radeon r7, 12 Compute cores 4c +8G 2.7Ghz. I'm totally happy with the laptop, but wanted to upgrade it....
I need to build a pc under 400 USD so, I'm really confused on choosing motherboard and CPU (no external GPU I don't have enough to afford external GPU) and best RAM and how much I need I would look at eBay for off-lease office machines (Dell Optiplex, HP ProDesk, Lenovo Think...

❌ You might consider a monster CPU in the future: The A620I motherboard is the real weak point of this build and might struggle with a beefy AMD processor. The venerable Velocity Micro Raptor ES40 has been around for a while now, but for my money it's still the best small form ...
motherboard, which can limit your case options. Air coolers can also be louder and less efficient than liquid coolers at moving heat away from your CPU and out of the chassis. These days, though, that’s not cut and dry. If you can go the extreme route, there are fanless air cooling...
The board has 4x SATA slots for adding up to four SATA drives and features the entry-level A520 chipset that won’t allow overclocking of your CPU. This might seem a CON as Ryzen 3200G is an overclockable chip but we will need at least a B450 or B550 chipset motherboard if we want...
Drive tests currently utilize Windows 11, 64-bit running on an X790 (PCIe 4.0/5.0) motherboard/i5-12400 CPU combo with two Kingston Fury 32GB DDR5 4800MHz modules (64GB of memory total). Both 20Gbps USB and Thunderbolt 4 are integrated to the back panel and Intel CPU/GPU graphics are...
