In the summer I tried to install my Macho Rev B on AM5, but the screws the company sent me (also got those circled black parts) didn't fit the appropriate holes on the mounting frame. By making those holes just a tiny bit bigger the sent parts would have worked, but I actually sold the cooler...

Hi! AM5 platform has many buggy earlier BIOS revisions. One problem with a factory BIOS might be that there's no signal from the dGPU before reaching the OS. Connect your monitor to the iGPU when doing the first install - perhaps you did this already though. I have the same mobo and I can say...

At the end though they admit that 8 GBs is not enough for the best settings of some games and kind of push you to buy the 16 GB model if you are wary.

You always have to check a mobo review before buying if you have any higher demands. Every brand seem to release good and bad boards. In the case of mobos, if ever, you simply cannot blindly trust any brand, not even when you pay for a steep premium model, because BIOS issues exist on those as...

Asus will fix their BIOS problems soon enough. People are just on the bash train because of the recent video from Gamers Nexus. There is already a beta BIOS available which lowers SoC voltage and an Asus representative has told to Finnish tech media outlet io-tech that they will provide warranty...

Since prices are so high, but availability good, and now we are getting RTX 4060 Ti with so much memory, this card vs RX 7700 XT is going to be the battle of the ages, though in the last two gens RX x700 matched the RTX xx70 tier, so I'm not sure if it is the RX 7700 that is the direct...

Pascal cards proved to be long lasting due to decent amounts of VRAM, the mentioned GTX 1080 Ti shining today. I suspect the enthusiast buyers have sold theirs a long time ago, so many here own used ones? Given this is forum for the tech folk, it is not that surprising that RTX 3000 and 4000...

It very much seems the game is not yet technically completely finished, but nobody here talks about how other settings run and how they look? It is increasingly important to not only test the highest preset because that is likely a tier over what the consoles do, and the current consoles are no...

If the best settings eat a huge amount of VRAM, that yet doesn't mean they are necessary or even beneficial to use. Bad management of system resources (optimization) is possible, but given how Fallen Order ran (pretty good imo), I'm inclined to believe they might have just included some uber...

I too think this VRAM discussion has got a little bit out of hand, because you can play just fine on 8 GB, though the right assessment of the question is, how much VRAM you should get for a certain price when buying a new GPU. I think it is unappealing to buy any 8 GB GPU over 200 €, because it...

Off-topic: Fanboys raving like crazy now about DLSS 3 and whatnot, even if it doesn't look great. I'd like to add to your comment that more FPS is always more fluidity, but I haven't tested where the limit is when I personally cannot tell the difference anymore. It seems above my 165 Hz screen...

The A620M Pro RS seems good but it doesn't have any slots for expansion cards, which is a rare and an unfortunate choice, since you cannot have 'optical out' at all via a dedicated sound card or anything else you might wish to add when buying an mATX board. Creating a larger board than ITX...

Arc A750 is the current budget option. Intel is going to be in the business if they can sell this model in fair amounts before new mid-range and entry models come from the other two. I have followed the advancements on their driver and would be ready to buy their GPU if they would offer a fast...

More boards like this please! If the VRM is adequate for any six-core X part in the future, then a board such this is a good choice for budget oriented shoppers. PCI-E 5 X16 will likely not matter in the lifespan of AM5, or at least not in any significant way, but if one wants a very fast SSD...

Yep, way too much attention given to this list of bogus requirements. When there is a part listed that doesn't exist in addition to the bizarre CPU requirements for the best settings, we know that something is wildly wrong (even if RX 5800 XT likely is only a typo). It is possible that this game...
