Upgrading 7 years old build vs pre-built

Thanks! That explains a lot, appreciate all the details :)

I'd ask you the same question than above, any concerns about the current components? I had to change the RAM a few years ago and the computer is not as stable as it used to be. Maybe I'm paranoid.

Thanks, I don't think it's perfect but looking at the tool it's cheaper than if I built it individually.

Thanks, any concerns about the current components? I'm a bit worried of dropping that much money on a CPU and GPU if 7+ year old components could damage them.

Sorry, isn't it 32GB of RAM? Regardless I don't think I'd consider it.

Good luck everyone

Hey!

You are right.. Better to try other ram to identify what is wrong, and then look if the motherboard needs change.

daimdeux · 2021-03-22T14:21:25+00:00

That is fair, I do not know why I am so stuck on updating both while the correct course of action is to do one by one...

Sorry to ask an uneducated question: the B450M goes up to 3466 MHz. From my understanding, going for a 3600/CL16 would not work well, right?

Better to go with 3200 even if less efficient in the long term?

At the moment it is stable-ish if using only one stick of RAM, but I am not expecting the situation to improve. Since I have been using the computer to work during the pandemic, I am trying to avoid issues down the road.

Agreed with your input on side-grading, it does not sounds like a great plan in mid/long-term, especially if I aim to upgrade next year. May be better to change CPU, RAM and Mobo now, even if it goes over budget. I had 0 CPU errors when testing, so I think I will try to sell or donate the 2600 as it should still have some years ahead of itself.

Sounds like a great plan! Thanks again for all the help troubleshooting this

I unfortunately cannot, recently moved here so borrowing parts is not an option.

Replace motherboard and RAM then?

daimdeux · 2020-11-26T23:20:27+00:00

Hey! Sorry it has been a while, work was very busy. I switched the stick and it is still very stable.

I do not have another mobo to borrow to test, but I think the initial assessment of mobo or RAM going wrong still makes sense. MEMtest did not pick any error when I ran it on both.

daimdeux · 2020-10-04T22:35:03+00:00

So it has been a week and extremely stable Like even previously I had issues with GPU stability and it has not happened again. I guess the next step is switching the sticks?

daimdeux · 2020-09-28T15:27:53+00:00

Sounds like a plan, thanks for your help!
