Just works I will try to get a photo of my bios settings

Dunno dude

yes. it is my only drive right now. i think it is in the one that shares with sata. i plan on getting a real nvme for the other m2. that sucks about having to send it back i almost did the same.

the crucial ssd worked in one of the m2 slots for me but not the other m2 slot.

seems my ram is running better forget how i did it

dunno

depends on your use, i need the cores and could actually use more ram but my gpu is more than sufficient

i need the cores not the gpu

I didn't need a good GPU but extra cores and lots of ram are what I need. I could still do with more ram, but my GPU is fine for my use. not everyone is a hardcore gamer.

hmmm i'll check and share a screen shot if i remember

sorry don't do a lot of gaming or check my fps

i just have an ssd, and it is m2 so is plugged right into the mobo, it was easy enough. i didn't need any extensions for anything. highly recommend for first time builders i put everything together in less than an hour taking my time.

oh **** they deleted the cable messy complaining people

i dont know. i didnt build this with vr in mind i dont think my gpu is capable

thanks! it's not the size of the gpu that matters!

thanks! didn't realize that there were so many closet ocd freaks on here haha.

thanks! i almost bought an i5 but the day the ryzen 5 came out someone on here suggested it and it seemed like a better fit for me, so far i love it.

i like it a lot. not too big, not too small, not too flashy

cool thanks, i did that but i am not sure how to actually check ram speed to make sue it is running that fast. cpuz show ram speed as like 1800 which must be wrong, i hope

the plan is to sit it on my desktop, but the psu is a little loud so on the carpet it might go

haha. i have a stack of zip ties that I am going to open up when I get a chance. did not know that the psu could be flipped, i think i wondered about that once when I was screwing it in but thought that the fan needed to be on the top. I will post a picture just for you when I zip tie it all. I did make sure that my cables weren't criss crossed, and had it in mind what would be zip tied to what, if that makes me look better.

what kind of issues? it wont work at all? or it just wont run at max speed?

i am still little confused on the ram thing. it seems like all ram will work its just that highspeed ram wont operate at highspeed and it is a firmware issue so it should be fixed with a bios update someday, hopefully soon?

you bet. thanks for the input. i am still little confused on the ram thing. it seems like all ram will work its just that highspeed ram wont operate at highspeed and it is a firmware issue so it should be fixed with a bios update someday, hopefully soon.

i dont know the only mech i nave ever used is the model m

the ibm model m is an old reliable bullet proof mechanical keyboard and it wasn't on your list. i am sure you were looking for constructive feedback when you posted and i didnt provide that.

ibm model m lol, sorry i couldn't help myself.

here is what i am looking at now, chose a mobo with more ram slots for future upgrades. i need to look into the 1060 vs 1050 ti to see if the price is worth it for me.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

i am leaning towards this card now https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/wrmxFT/evga-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-acx-20-video-card-04g-p4-6251-kr both for the price point and the fact that the radeon does not support cuda, for what i am doing gaming is not top priority (still nice to run good games i just don't care about high settings as much) just need to beat my old Radeon HD 6970M

did the ryzen 5 literally just come out today?

cool good to know. thanks for the advice.

i just want to beat my old i7 2600 it performed well for me http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-2600-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1600/620vs3919

i like this build a lot. i was really leaning towards an intel/nvidia build but I have to look into this. the 6 core processor is very appealing since mainly this will be a processing machine.

thanks for the input.

thanks for the input. i do not plan on overclocking, but the option is nice. does the stock cooler work well for the ryzen? what cooler would you recommend for overclocking?
