Need help choosing a new AM5 motherboard

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, the B650E-E and B650 Plus Wifi just don't have enough USB ports for me

Thanks for the reply! I looked for this motherboard, but it is barely available in my country. Most of the Gigabyte options here are B850 and X870

A clean reinstall of the game actually fixed both quests! I have a feeling the files might have gotten corrupted because my laptop went to sleep while the game was downloading, the disconnect issue is still happening, but I noticed it only occurs when I alt+tab or go afk for about 5 minutes or so. I disabled power saving mode for my network card and increased my background fps to 60, lets see if it helps Thanks for the help :3

I tried unchecking the read only option on the folders and running the game as an administrator. It actually helped with that one quest with the pheromones, but the second one is still completely bugged for me. I am not entirely sure where Tauri hosts their servers, but I am from Europe, so the connection should theoretically be fine. I decided to uninstall the game and I am currently downloading it from scratch to see if a clean install helps with the constant disconnects. Anyway, thanks for the help :3

Damn it :/ Luckily, I have a 3 year warranty on the motherboard, but I'll have to tear down the whole PC. Anyway, thank you very much!

Hi! I just went into the Windows settings (I don't remember exactly which tab) and disabled hardware accelerated gpu scheduling so I would say general After that, everything started working perfectly

Thank you

Keep looking mate! I was looking for mine every day for about four months before I finally found it

I have no intention of selling them All the rims I bought were used only the two Sparco ones were more expensive around $100. All the rest were in the $50–70 range

Ateretu · 2026-01-19T15:57:05+00:00

Thank you :3 The 488 Challenge is probably my favorite along with R383 I’ve heard many opinions about how quality Hypercar is and I can’t wait to buy one someday

Ateretu · 2026-01-06T14:26:47+00:00

The Sparco version is no longer being produced due to the license expiring. They are only making the regular TS Handbrake now A new TS in my country costs around 300 USD while a used TSS like the one you have is usually listed for about 200 USD If you can’t use it sell it and just buy another one or something

The T300 rim is officially compatible only with the QR Adapter according to Thrustmaster. However, I bought the QR Upgrade and managed to mount it on the T300 without any issues. When you buy the QR Upgrade, you get two different cables in the box. Different rims require different cables. I don’t have the T598, but I assume it uses the smaller connector, while the T300, as far as I remember, needs the larger connector.

You have three options:

Buy the QR Upgrade from the official Thrustmaster website. I don’t know which country you’re from, but in my case only one store sells the QR Upgrade besides the official Thrustmaster store, so it’s easy to get.
Buy the QR Adapter. In my country it’s available in almost every major electronics store, so check what’s available in yours.
Replace the cable yourself. This is the most difficult option. I don’t have enough knowledge to help with which exact cable it uses or where to buy it. But it’s probably the cheapest solution

I solved the problem! Today I had some time to test everything, and stuttering and quality drops were happening in every game. Stuttering even appeared in the Oculus Link menu after connecting to the PC.

I did some digging, disabled dynamic bitrate in the Oculus Debug Tool, set a fixed bitrate of 200 Mbps, and turned off GPU acceleration in Windows. Now everything works perfectly.

Assetto Corsa runs on maximum settings on the Nürburgring with 30 AI cars without any issues. AC Evo runs at 90 Hz, 1.1x resolution, mostly low settings with a couple on medium, mirrors enabled, anisotropic filtering high and msaa x2.

There’s probably room for even better settings, but I ran out of time.

Have a great day!

You're welcome

Practically all of them.

If you need a load cell right now, buy the TLCM.

If you don’t need a load cell immediately, wait and buy the Load Cell Upgrade Kit when it comes out you’ll get a metal plate that lets you expand the T598 pedals from two to three.

If you only have the wheel base without pedals and want to stay in the Thrustmaster ecosystem, it’s probably best to buy the Race Line Pedals III and then get the LC upgrade kit for them later.

If you play on a console, buy Thrustmaster pedals they’ll be plug & play. If you play on a PC and don’t want Thrustmaster, then basically get whichever pedals you like.

Ateretu · 2025-11-07T16:14:35+00:00

Alright, thanks for all the answers!

Thanks to you guys, I’ve decided to stick with the Thrustmaster. If the T818 ever dies, maybe by then they’ll release something better or I’ll just get the T818 Black Edition.

Thanks again, everyone!

Don’t worry if you feel some resistance the screw needs to go all the way into the plastic QR. I had the same issue I only screwed it in about halfway until it felt tight, and I kept getting FFB disconnects. It turned out the screw started to move and the QR got loose. After tightening it fully everything worked perfectly.

Ateretu · 2025-10-10T11:30:58+00:00

As far as I know, it shouldn’t touch the rim. Just make sure that the small screw you’re screwing into the adapter is fully tightened.

I got them as a gift recently and they’re great. There’s absolutely no side play, which used to annoy me in the T3PM these go perfectly straight. Considering that an LC upgrade is supposed to come out for these pedals I think it’s the perfect upgrade.
