I've done some research and thought on saving up for a brand new AM5 chipset build instead of just a gpu upgrade. 2 months ago I wouldn't have said this, just wanna do my dailies and raids asap, but now I realise this is my first real break from gaming in 4 years. I understand this will take me a lot longer to wait, might not even make it by next lan (I have to give all my wages to my parents) so thanks for all the help in this thread god bless

jnkiRahmedIt's safe to say my 5700xt gpu probably is fucked, I'll try to "bake" it as a last resortyo king shit dont do it in your kitchen oven unless you want to enrichen your garlic bread&chips with lead every time you use it to bake edible things afterwards
Well it's the only oven I have atm, will the fumes affect the oven that much for 10m?
Also I've stripped the gpu down, still VGA debug led from the bare mobo - feels like I migjt aswell do anything to revive it

Update: After having recieved my motherboard, the VGA EZ debug led lights up and there's no signal to my monitor!
It's safe to say my 5700xt gpu probably is fucked, I'll try to "bake" it as a last resort but I'm most likely going to upgrade it.
(2 months ago) I was playing Lost Ark and TF2, not really into latest games in 4K- just want high fps in 1080p
Any good gpu recommendations welcome around the $300 mark

Do you guys use discord emojis, excel/google sheets or a third-party app/website?
How does your team leader sort out availability and what is the ideal method?

jnkiand you are right it doesnt even have a box version, the fuck
anyway a tray(OEM) version is this thing that they ship in to the stores for cheaper in a big ass tray and just give you in a smaller, clear plastic trayShow Contentit either has no warranty or only the store warranty instead of the manufacturer 5 years warranty
a BOX version is that except its in a sealed box with a sticker and a piece of paper you never read, a proper warranty and a cooler
guess it dont matter anyway because apparently 5700x doesnt have a box version
You can buy them by the trays?
This is like me finding out americans can drink fizzy drinks by the litre

jnkiRahmedunless you buy the tray or the OEM version you get a stock cooler with the 5700x anyway
Not sure what the tray or OEM means, but pcpartpicker says no cooler

ArieNot sure what's wrong with your motherboard, but if it's broken and still under warranty, RMA.
With some minor effort, your memory might just run at 3600Mhz (CL16 should be fine), Ryzens will like that. Staying on this motherboard and dropping in a 5800X3D will give you the highest gaming performance offered on this socket.
It will depend on the games you play and what kind of FPS you're looking for whether to upgrade the GPU as well.
After I RMA the motherboard, I want to look at getting the ryzen 5700x with 2x16gb 3600 ram sticks
Would using my ryzen 3600 stock cooler be ok or is it better to just buy a cpu cooler?

BaconBlitzThe gap between 240 and 360 refresh rate is negligible. A decent 360hz monitor costs about as much as super good 240hz monitor
A Good Example.
Another inexpensive sleeper upgrade you can get is going a generation up to a 5600x. I also agree, RAM upgrades are pretty important, as already said, ryzen likes super fast ram. A little pricey for ram, but this would be ideal.
ur gpu is a beast btw, use that shit into the ground, upgrade when it dies
edit: thats ddr5 ram, so disregard that unless u plan on upgrading ur mobo as well to support it (Which i'd recommend)
The link to the ram sticks doesn't work btw. Also can I get any ddr4 ram that is atleast 3000 mhz and around cl15 or is it more sensitive on what ram I get?

maraudeRyou would get more value out of your CPU by RMAing your mobo and just upgrading RAM. Ryzen really likes fast RAM and your 5700XT is probably fine unless you really want to upgrade.
I do want to upgrade my ram but they dont sell these exact ram sticks anymore, and im not sure how well different ddr4 sticks with different timings and speed will work. I don't want to go do any bios stuff, preferably just plug in and play
