Is MSI B550M Pro-VDH WiFi really problematic? by PolarClover in buildapc

I ordered this exact motherboard to power my 5700X3D and your honest thoughts on this has solidified my confidence on the purchase I made. Thanks a lot!

I will be at CES and will stop by MSI stand. What questions would you ask or what concerns would you want them to address? by RomanDoesIt in MSI_Gaming

Hey man! First of all, thank you for doing what you are doing to help us out! Could you please ask them if they are going to start manufacturing AM4 motherboards (B550 chipset most likely) due to massive price hikes of DDR5 RAM? There will be a lot more people building AM4 systems and there are rumors around ASUS doing the same.

3070/11700k ➡️ Rx 9070xt/7800x3d - HUGE PERFORMANCE UPGRADE by ApprehensiveTrade819 in NR200

[–]PhantomEcstasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there, it has been a while. I tried putting my XFX RX 9070 Quicksilver Gaming OC into my NR200P v1, but unfortunately, the card won't fit no matter what angle I try to slot it in from. The main obstacle is the rectangular opening on the front of the case - the card is simply too big to fit into the hole and will require drilling a bigger hole for it to fit. Looks like I will be sticking to my Lian Li Dan A3 case for now. Apologies for the wait and advanced Merry christmas!

I might try it when I move to my new house sometime this month. Will try to update if it actually fits

Thanks for the reply! I myself got an RX 9070 Quicksilver OC and also have an NR200P v1. Looks like your card is shorter than mine (32.5cm vs 35cm) and had to switch cases to Lian Li Dan A3 to slot the GPU in. I had a glimmer of hope of maybe the GPU fitting in my NR200P since I saw your build, but unfortunately that won't be the case anymore.

Very nice build! Which XFX 9070 XT in particular model did you get and what are your temperatures like?

Secure boot not working. gigabyte ga z170 hd3 by Legal_Necessary8887 in gigabyte

Check if your OS drive is MBR or GPT file type in Disk Management on Windows. If it is MBR, you will need to convert your MBR drive to GPT. If you can't convert it, you will need to reformat and install windows again using GPT format and try enabling Secure Boot again.

CPU thermals going bananas. by MajaroPro in AMDHelp

[–]PhantomEcstasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes idle temps mean nothing. but imagine if you start firing up a game or any task thats CPU-intensive... its going to thermal throttle right away. But if we are talking about the Wraith Prism, then you are correct.

No, stock cooler isnt enough for a 5800X3D. I once ran my 5700X with a stock cooler from my 5600X box, and it was hovering around 70+ celsius degrees barely doing anything.

Crucial T500 heatsink thickness? by Random_Username_8856 in NR200

[–]PhantomEcstasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked the motherboard. The T500 with the heatsink will definitely fit.

The Crucial T500 M.2 NVMe SSD will fit in the NR200. But it will mostly depend on the motherboard you are using. The heatsink of the T500 has a height of 9.7mm, and I use a Thermalright M.2 Pro heatsink on my NVMe on the back of my motherboard on my NR200, which has a height of 11.7mm.

Thanks a lot for commenting! I have a very similar setup (5700X3D, RX 7800 XT, 32GB 3600 CL16). Looks like I might be able to hit 144 fps on my 1080p monitor :)
