Yes you can.

Not a hotbox with 2 x 140mm front fans.

Tempting

They're much quieter than normal case, worth it for some people. I would also put another fan in the front of this case if I bought it, to…

i have the b350 version of this board and the usb 3.0 header socket came off too, the usb 3 header still works though.

Can you fit 140mm fans at the front? I only see 120mm fans listed in specs for the front.

I have this case and depending on the fans it's inaudible - especially if you mount the front fans as seen in the pic instead of in the…

155mm but I have this case and I think it can take up to 158mm, 160mm would probably work because it's no TG so you can just squash the…

If your uefi fan control software is sophisticated enough(let's you use more than 3 points on a fan curve) you can set it to completely…

Arctic lists 2.8v starting voltage on its website. That would be 23%, I have be quiet fans that spin at 280rpm with 28%.…

You can use argus montior to test the spinup voltage in windows, you should be able to do that in the bios too though? 43% dc is 5v, almost…

my asus b350 board does both except for the cpu fan header which only does pwm.

I have this drive. It's a good solid sata drive.

I got this kit a few weeks ago. It's micron rev e and goes to 3800mhz easy, I haven't tried higher.

Not worth it considering the price of c16 3200mhz. Maybe you get lucky and it's c-die samsung that can overclock to 3600mhz+ but whatever.

same as c16@3200mhz. Maybe some extra voltage will get c16.

Looks like it's micron rev E so should be a good overclocker/timings will go tighter. cl18 is equivalent to cl16@3200mhz so looks like a…

You could get a x570 and 3300x if you wanted to upgrade cheaper now then get a 4700x when their prices drop a little.

Performance is fine without the DRAM that's not why it sucks it's the firmware, at least on the BX500 240Gb drive. Lasts for a few…

Yes slightly worse than normal cl16@3200mhz timings, still it does run at XMP 3600mhz which is pretty useful especially for Ryzen.

I had the same problem. Using them as a steam drive now and they last much longer before performance degrades, and when it does I can just…

Yes the longer I wait the better the quality of the silicon and cheaper. No way I could say no to a new 3600@200$.

Must resist urge to upgrade my overkill for my purposes 2600.

8 Gb A-die (25 nm) / 1 die Manufacturer SpecTek Part Number D9SRJ (MT40A1G8PM-083E:A)

I got this in the last deal, my motherboard can't cope with 3200mhz+ ram so I run it at cl14-3133mhz.

Actually at 200$ this isn't competing with the zen 2 cpu's at all it's competing with the 2600/2600x/2700 and for that this was a great…

I got an aftermarket Snowman cooler for 30$ delivered and it easily beats any ryzen box cooler, you could probably find a better performing…

Only slightly faster in multicore, much slower at everything else.

Yup for a lot of people 3800x is worth it over the 3700x.

I got a 2nd hand b350 gigabyte d3h motherboard for 80$ off ebay. Don't consider the a320 you'll want to overclock the 2600 to 3.9ghz at…
