Requesting assistance with 7800x3d
I've been considering purchasing this CPU for a gaming rig. I'm a bit concerned about overheating, so do you think Intel would be a better choice? I'm looking into the Hyte Y60 case, M.2 7800X3D SSD, and Deepcool AIO cooling. Also, I need fan suggestions from Corsair for the 1200 PSU Platinum 80+ lineup. What motherboards do you recommend for this build? I want to ensure my system stays safe and don’t plan to overclock. It’s been six years since I last upgraded my PC.
For my build I’d choose a model from MSI, such as the B650 Tomahawk, similar to what ASUS’s X670 boards and X3D chips have experienced. The MAG B650 Tomahawk WIFI ATX AM5 board would be a great fit.
Thanks for your reply. Switching to Intel sounds appealing, but I’m curious about the impact on gaming performance!
That's a solid observation. It's hard to believe ASUS has gone from being one of the top brands to struggling with quality issues over the past decade. Their products now often come with noticeable flaws, and their customer service has taken a hit. It feels like they should be addressing this now rather than just tolerating it.
Uncertain about that GN video, but as a business they seem to struggle with development and reading instructions from an AMD perspective. That likely explains why they took out several older BIOS versions from their site (per Tech Jesus). I once had an ASUS AM2 motherboard with excellent quality and strong support, even offering unofficial AM3 BIOS support. I agree ASUS used to be reputable. I’ve also used a Gigabyte board for a while. The BIOS was okay but not perfect, and everything wasn’t flawless. When Ryzen came out, Asrock was among the top companies for quick fixes, updates, and new BIOS releases. That’s something you’d prefer. Especially if the CPU has known problems. (as mentioned in the video I shared) A quick note: would these problems make you consider switching to Intel? Probably not. But I might wait a bit before choosing a motherboard and see which brand offers the best support or fixes for these issues.
