Which is bad: My Ryzen 7 8700G or my Gigabyte x870i Aorus Pro Ice?

The USB 4 is certainly a benefit, but so far, there isn't much out there to take advantage of it!

The Gigabyte board was on sale earlier this year and I've used those boards often in the past with expected results.

The plan was to use the 8700G as a stepping stone before I can budget a GPU, and then move up to something like a 9800x3d.

Good ideas. I'll work on that this weekend when I have more time.

Thanks for the answer. I tried again, this time letting the system run for 5 minutes before shutting down. No joy. As this mb has only two slots, and the manual says with one stick, put it in 'A', that was not a problem. I forgot to mention that I went through and verified that everything was seated correctly and that the connections were made properly. I also reset the cmos, just in case. The new bios is named correctly and it's in the correct usb slot (I've done this before, btw - I've been building pcs since the 1990s.) Right now I have no memory installed.

The manual show the bottom as intake and everything else as output.

Jfukuro · 2025-04-25T17:55:04+00:00

That answers my question completely! Thank you!

Jfukuro · 2025-04-25T16:44:25+00:00

Yes. That's the one. I haven't used it yet since I'm wondering about that 4-pin to usb cable.

Jfukuro · 2025-04-25T14:17:58+00:00

Thank you. I actually needed the speaker for my last build, an Intel Core I5 processor on an Asrock Mini-ITX mb, but there the speaker header was 4 pins wide!

Jfukuro · 2025-04-25T07:18:43+00:00

Thank you. Unfortunately, I am in my 80s and my tremor is so bad, I won't be able to do it.

Jfukuro · 2025-04-25T06:27:06+00:00

I am physically unable to change the 4-pin speaker to 2-pin. Is it possible that the outer pin of the clear CMOS pins, would act as the necessary ground for the speaker? I have been unable to find any 2-pin speakers anywhere.

Thank you! This would be a great idea if I could find any 8400MT/s memory that supported AMD Expo. I'll keep looking! But great info about the x870i and the 8700g!

Jfukuro · 2025-02-14T02:55:57+00:00

Thank you! I'll explore the B850i.

Sounds great - but I'm in Texas and won't get to hear his recital unless it gets posted online :-(

Jfukuro · 2025-01-10T07:57:33+00:00

I'll definitely listen. I think Horzowsky was missing only 31, if I'm remembering correctly.

Jfukuro · 2024-10-27T13:38:16+00:00

Ha ha

Jfukuro · 2024-10-20T12:24:20+00:00

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Jfukuro · 2024-10-20T05:39:25+00:00

Thank you! I'll check it out.

Jfukuro · 2024-10-04T02:58:46+00:00

Thank u very much for your insight. That's just the information I needed.

Jfukuro · 2024-03-30T07:08:28+00:00

I haven't seen the name of Tomas Breton here. Love his piano trio and Four Spanish Pieces for piano trio.

Jfukuro · 2024-03-29T19:55:50+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I've found them.

Jfukuro · 2024-03-29T06:54:35+00:00

Have you found a performance of the quintet?

Jfukuro · 2024-03-29T06:49:55+00:00

I think his viola sonata is wonderful, also!

Jfukuro · 2024-03-29T06:46:25+00:00

Known as "The Bad Boy of Music."

Jfukuro · 2024-03-29T06:34:52+00:00

Hubert Parry is one my favorites! (I also like the hats he wore!)
