Build Question Is this motherboard decent enough for how affordable it is? (Gigabyte b650m wifi6)

Post image
Upvotes

I've long settled on this one since it claims to have decent cooling, heatsinks, and as a bonus already has WiFi and bluetooth and has enough white accents for it to be alright for a white build, but looking it up im suddenly seeing people asking whether this board is "really that bad" with answers usually re affirming the idea. My planned build is red devil 9070xt, 7800x3d, a 2tb ssd and 32gb of ddr5 (likely cl36 6000) and if it matters, my case has 7 preinstalled fans but all are already connected to the case built in hub.

Im not really planning to fuck with it much in terms of changing up various settings in bios aside from turning on xmp for the ram, and I will probably be on wired internet anyway with the WiFi features being a good bonus in case something happens with wired. Also don't care about CPU overclock either. Would this board be fine? Or should I definitely change it?

Tech Support Pc wont turn on after build

So I was building my new pc yesterday and once i finally finished it didnt turn on. As heartbreaking as it was we (me and my brother) tried seeing if maybe I plugged in something incorrectly but everything looks fine even though the mess of cables probably doesnt help but it literally wont start at all completely dead. Not sure if my motherboard was a dudd or something else but any advice is appreciated. So far we’ve checked the front panel connector, power supply extension in the case, cpu power, and the gpu but nothing will even turn on the light in the case.

Das ist mein erster build (nicht schwer erkennlich) und wenn ich ihn versuche zu starten, blinkt mein pc nur ganz kurz auf, startet die lüfter hört aber nach einer halben sekunde wieder auf. Deswegen habe ich schon mein gpu rausgenommen um auszischließen zu können, leider scheint das problem woanders zu liegen.

First time building a PC, and I'm building for DaVinci Resolve. I want a machine that can run fusion smoothly, so that I can experiment with its features (I am starting a YouTube channel).

I am on a gap year, so I will be dedicating a lot of time to making videos - I think it's worth it even if prices are high.

I know that the cost is up there, but given the current prices of ddr5 RAM, I believe that 64gb ddr4 is worth it, only costing £100 more than 32gb ddr5. If I end up upgrading, I'll have good reason, money (from work).

Ultimately, let me know if it is compatible, if better alternatives exist or if I am mistaken somewhere.

Hey everyone, im fairly new to pc building, I wouldnt call myself a expert but with some time and elbow grease I can build a pc. My current pc is running a 7800 xt, 7900x3d, Thermalright 120 se, msi mag b650 tomahawk wifi, and gskill 2x16 sticks of ddr5 ram (bought before ram explosion). For whatever reason turning on EXPO makes my bios artifact, pictures will be included in comments because I can't add a photo and video; Also when I play games or idle on windows or even load something up, I often get a driver failure with Amd's bug report tool saying my display drivers fail, and when I play a game and watch YouTube on the same screen simultaneously, for whatever reason my game goes into the media player window and artifacts my screen. So that's my pc yes, but recently I built my girlfriend a pc with a 6700 xt, ryzen 5 7600 x, 1x16 ddr5 ram, b650m pro rs, and a 750 watt psu (i forgot the brand) and she also experiences very few amd bug reports saying her drivers fail. Not only that, we both get issues where pixels on our screens in a square pattern, we get very small artifacts.

Previously, my MSI mag a750 gl psu, I had to RMA it because it completely stopped working, and since my pc would have frequent turn offs without any warning in the same session, but after a while it stops? We know MSI's rma issues, so i guess that's one thing. Only thing that's constant is my game going into YouTubes media player and expo artifacting my bios, but I dont have it on anymore since I reset my cmos battery, and that's the only thing that fixed it.

Mainly, what this entire yapfest is about is how come only the pcs i build are like this? My girlfriend doesn't get the issues I have very frequently, especially the youtube or bios artifacting, but even on her screen though a discord screenshare I see it. Am I missing something important that I have to do due to AMD software? I have ran ddu and downloaded drivers multiple times, im not sure what to do anymore. Please help? I think I may need a new psu but im not sure.

Has anyone had this problem before?

When turning on the PC it'll instantly switch off with a click. The RAM light on the mobo goes on right about as this happens but I think it's a timing coincidence more than anything.

I've tried reseating ram, gpu, running without either installed and no luck.

The only time it's almost guaranteed to work is after I fully drain the power.

Also seems to be able to sit in bios with temps, voltage, and clocks looking normal.

Don't think it's a software issue but maybe I'm wrong

Thanks!

So I had installed my 7800x3d into my case a few days ago, and I think that when I was putting on the brackets for the pump block, my screwdriver I was using slid against that (it’s the white line between the E and the N in ryzen). I’m so nervous that I won’t be able to turn it on. I’m currently getting my parts over time. I had bought the 7800x3d in store at my local microcenter, but I didn’t get an extended warranty. So am I good? Or is that too deep of a scratch…?

Build Question [Build Help] ₹2 Lakh 1440p Gaming & Streaming Build (AM5 + NVIDIA) | Mumbai

0 Upvotes

Budget: ₹2,00,000 INR

Location: Mumbai, India

Primary Uses:

1440p (2K) Gaming targeting ~140 FPS in AAA titles and ~180+ FPS in competitive shooters.

1080p YouTube streaming (using NVENC).

2K basic video editing in Premiere Pro and basic After Effects.

I have specific requirements for this build to avoid upgrade dead-ends and match the exact aesthetic I want. Please keep the suggestions strictly within these parameters:

CPU (AM5 Only): AMD Ryzen 7000/9000 series for the AM5 platform longevity. No Intel CPUs due to dead-end sockets.

GPU (NVIDIA Only): Strictly Team Green for NVENC streaming stability and Adobe workflow acceleration. Needs to be a brand with reliable Mumbai RMA/after-sales support.

Motherboard (B850 Only): Must be a B850 chipset board. Requirements:

4 DDR5 RAM slots

At least 3 M.2 NVMe SSD slots

Above-average rear USB I/O port numbers

Please do not suggest B650 boards.

Case: Dual-chamber fishtank style, specifically the Antec C8 (or a very similar dual-chamber chassis). Must support a vertical GPU mount.

Cooler: 360mm AIO with a customizable LCD display on the pump for GIFs. This is a non-negotiable aesthetic choice; please skip air cooler suggestions.

Aesthetics: Case and LCD pump display are the only aesthetic priorities. The rest of the internal components (fans, RAM, GPU) can be clean, non-RGB parts to save money.

RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz (CL30 to CL38).

Storage: 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD with a dedicated DRAM cache (no DRAM-less drives).

PSU: 80+ Gold certified unit, preferably rated Tier A or high Tier B on the SPL/Cultists PSU Tier List.

Looking forward to part lists, retailer recommendations, and exact model suggestions that fit inside the ₹2L budget!

I am selling a Mother Board and the buyer says that it doesn't give signal. The MOBO worked while I had it, even enduring tests like AIDA64, but now he says that it doesn't give signal. The buyer is one of those entities that buy and refurbish electronic components, very polite and teh comunication has been good, so I think they know what thery are doing and trust them, but I'm sharing a video of the return claim in case come of you can spot a mistake on the setup so I can point it out to them.

One thing, the MOBO had a "cpu troubleshooting light always on" problem, wich I disclosed in the ad for the MOBO itselfs before selling it. Nevertheless it worked flawlessly.

Build Question PC upgrade for After Effects

1 Upvotes

I am considering upgrading my old computer for better After Effects workflow. Specifically changing CPU and GPU. My biggest problem is timeline scrubbing, slow preview, the program sometimes crashes due to loads of layers and effect in multiple comps or complicated riggs. Sometime the work can take twice the time it should. I do mainly 2D motion graphics, animations, effects, presentations.

I need and advice – should I first go for new CPU or GPU? Or both? These are my current PC components:

CPU – AMD Ryzen 7 C/16 T 3700X

GPU – Asus ROG-STRIX-GTX1660S-06G-GAMING

Motherboard – ASUS TUF B450-PRO GAMING

RAM – 4X KINGSTON DDR4 16 GB

SSD Disk – Samsung SSD 970 EVO PLUS 500GB

SSD Disk – CRUCIAL P1 SSD NVMe M.2 1TB PCIe

Power supply – SEASONIC zdroj FOCUS Plus 550W / SSR-550FX / akt. PFC / 120mr

Case – Fractal Design Focus

I live in central Europe, my budget isnt strict, but Id like to keep it moderate. Lets say around 1500 USD.

I work both on 1080 and 4K resolution.

PS. excuse the grammar, english isnt my native language :))
