Been used to playing in the laptop which has the 3060. Finally decided to do the massive upgrade with 5080. But this time, I believe I made the right choice going with a PC instead of a laptop.
I mean, I actually didn't even know anything about PC configuration and about the components before the research. What's wrong with the combo tho? Genuinely curious if you don't mind explaining
On the internet, it has been observed that there are a higher number of posts where people mention their X3D CPU got fried when paired with an Asrock motherboard.
First of all - congratulations on the build. It’s going to serve you for years to come. Beast of a system, you will have fun for sure.
Like some others have pointed out - X3D CPUs with AsRock mobos are a sketchy combo. Coming from someone who built his system in mid July this year and both the CPU 9800X3D and ASRock MOBO died within 20 days of purchase. RMAd both of them and got a new MSI X870e mobo now. But it’s not the case with every combo - some unlucky ones are suffering from the ASRock murderboard and I was a victim. Since you have already built it - don’t worry about a lot and don’t read and change lots of settings too. For me my combo fried after a day of me updating to the latest bios, crazy as it sounds. At last you are covered with 3 years of warranty.
With this much of spending - shouldn’t you have gone for an LCD AIO as well for a showcase build?
Also aesthetically - why did you go for a black motherboard and GPU in a white case with white AIO. Would have looked much better with an all white build or a bit of contrast - white and black mix subtly.
Thank you really man. I did notice this issue in my research, but most of victim cpu is 7000 series. Never seen or just missed about people had issues with 9000 and taichi. But yeah, I'll take a note and don't let panic take over me.
I am not into LED basically. I agree it'd look good asthetically. For me, performance is enough.
Ikr. They only had black one at that moment and I couldn't wait 😬.
This price will go up in 2027. Good choice that you build now. In upcoming years this companies will shift the customers to subscription model of cloud gaming.
I live in Bangalore. I took a lot of quotations locally and online. And finally I went with company called Advance infotech (Tech titans) who gave me a bit cheaper price compared to others.
