  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my not liking them is several bad stories recently
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Gigabyte is just decent because it's midpriced and has everything you need
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I guess some of me not liking them is based on when I worked at Dell... They did a lot of the boards for Dell at the time and some of them where just ass.... Like 20% failure rate on some of them in 2 years. I suspect a lot of it was when all those bad caps got into the supply chain.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At the time Dell was the number one PC seller and popular plus cheap mobo plus bad caps plus going from XP to Vista.... it was just a bad time for the entire PC industry lol
    +1
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Are all 650 series boards AM5 now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell if I know lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Would be nice to have ddr5 and not need to buy a brand new cpu every time
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Well the memory controller being built into the CPU kind of makes that a necessary thing?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Some am4 cpus would be enough to take advantage of that?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Or wouldn't
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh the CPU can always always use faster RAM
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Depending on workload am4 will still be solid for a while
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When the memory controller was built into the Northbridge chipset, some old mobos would support like DDR1 and DDR2 RAM at the same time sort of, like you could use either RAM but not at the same time I think?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I am running AM4 right now and feel zero need to upgrade
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Plenty fast enough lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Some games are required to have at least 16gb but that's like 3 titles?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If I was on some low end mobo and low end CPU and low end RAM... I probably would feel a lot of need lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I have 32GB's and 16GB's of video RAM :P lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Every ten year gap is a pretty good rule of thumb
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    My gpu has 12gb of video ram so really probably not worth it to upgrade
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I just honestly wait for a game to come out that I can barely run at ugly settings, then I am all excited to crank up the settings on the new machine.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    People think they need 2160p ultra everything and I'm like no
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    1080P and upscaled on my TV to 4K seems nice enough lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    0r native 4K on old games lol
    Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo: 0r native 4K on old games lol
