so my current system is Cpu - 8350 , Ram - 1600 Mhz crossair vengeance , Motherboard - GA 970ADS3 REV 1.1 , Gpu - 7870 Ghz edition saphire , Hardisk - 1 Tb Samsung SATA , Case - elite 310 'standard' by Cooler master and cpu cooler - 212 evo , psu - 500W thunder by cooler master !
so my motherboard is giving me alot of issues and psu is low quality :( also 212 evo just does not cut it 85 c while playing games so i am thinking to upgrade to Seasonic S12II 620 Watts PSU , corsair h80i , MSI 990FXA-GD65 V2
i do not know anything about building a pc all i know is how to assemble one :(
thats how in the first place i got those shit parts ...
but here are my concerns is that 600 W enough for my system is this psu good enough ?
can i overclock if i want to in the future with it ?
people say this psu does not support hasswell so will it not support skylake aswell ?
will that msi board run my ram on 1600 by default ? as my old motherboard did not :(
does the v2 of motherboard support 8350 ?
my ram is my ram is CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 *x2 i use two of these it's not in the qvl list so will these work ?
also any one here who can chat with me on steam ? as i have some more questions ...
Your power supply is pretty much at it's limit there, so upping that would give you some headroom and possibly alleviate some issues, is the thunder even 80 plus?
is on a decent sale though I've never known a mail in rebate to work
After a quick google search on that board it doesn't seem too good, but you could probably overclock on it a bit, you could swap it out for a slightly higher end one, but I'd suggest you just hold off until zen/kaby lake come out unless you're really hurting in games, best option would just be to get a higher end board and overclock it, rather than jump to haswell, which should roughly give you a 20% performance increase in CPU limited games
Your case most likely has poor airflow in it, as at least from pictures it doesn't appear to have any front intake on it, and I can't see your guts so upgrading your cooler to a single 120mm radiator isn't going to do much aside from possibly run quieter. So you should probably change out your case, the best case ever being the HAF XB.
As for your RAM speed it really doesn't matter anyways so don't worry about it.
And do you have an upgrade budget in mind? Also post your PC's guts.
i am gonna buy MSI 990FXA-GD65 V2 though i am not sure if it will support my ram or not since its not on qvl list CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 and also i am not sure if it supports 8350 or not ... as my last motherboard did not >.>
secondly i had cooler master 500 w i am switching to Seasonic S12II 620 Watts PSU
i am not sure if 600 W is enough or not though cooler master calculator says i only need 450 W and when i use asus calc it says 650 W so i am confused :l
what should i do ? also is that seasonic psu good enough ?
also that case does has one front intake fan
also i am thinking to hook my cooler master 500 w with this rig instead cpu - i3 3210 3.2 ghz motherboard - gigabyte h61 ram - 4gb hard disk -500 gb gpu - gtx 960
Any RAM should work with any motherboard, assuming it has the same type, and any of the AM3+ boards should support the 8350, especially the 990FX boards. Dunno much about that MSI board, but this one's highly rated and fairly cheap on the PC part picker, plus it's asus https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a99fxpror20
Going with intel isn't going to really be worth it unless you get an i5.
Power supply should be fine for the 8350, but did you already buy the 620W one?
Grab the mentioned psu and motherboard but leave out the h80i - the 212 you have will suffice. Spend that h80i money on a better case - one with better airflow.
85c w/ the 212 currently~ incorrect installation of the heatsink, poor airflow, high vcore voltage. Temps should not be that high in a non-overclocked state and/or applicable case.
The seasonic 620 will be plenty for your current config - but I would suggest looking around. XFX psu's are rebadged seasonic units (as well as many others, eg antec hcg's) so you may be able to save a few dollars and/or bump up the wattage for the same price. - xfx 650w - xtx 750w
The only FX cpu the motherboard does not support are the 9370's. Overclocking the 8350 should be ok enough, but I would think you'd have a much more pleasant time if you were to get a Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 - stronger board all round and the same price as the MSI.
That board will run your RAM at 1600 - if it does not load the XMP by default - just jump into the BIOS and select the XMP.
well i used to think the same way too but on msi support i saw some guys gskill ram didnt work >.>
also the board u suggested is 202 $ and the msi one i picked is 142 $
the rate is high because of the country i live in and no i did not buy that power supply yet thats why i am asking :3 just to confirm if its good or not but is 600w enough ?>
well i do not think its air flow issue i think its more of a aimbet issue as room temprature is so high :l
also i took side panel of to see if it helps it or not it did not ...
also i did not install it incorrectly as i installed it like 4 -5 times as thats how much my pc kept on dieing and every time it was an issue with motherboard or cpu thats why i rma-ed my cpu for 3rd time and now i am gonna buy a new board but the only temp change i noticed was when i switched to noctua nt h1 from coolermaster tim and that was like 9 c or so also when i turn on my ac it goes like 10 c down
also i never messed with voltages as i didnt know how to
also xfx is not available here >.>
i live in india just so u know room temp is around 35 c
also please go to flipkart.com and let me know if u can find a better board or psu in my budget
my budget for psu is 6k and for motherboard around 10 k
also cant i just go with a 4+1 phase board again ?
my old board still works its just that it was giving alot of issues >< from the start mainly because it did not officaly supported my cpu and the reason i am going with a 8+2 phase board this time is cause everyone kept telling me u need atleast 6+2 phase for 8350
And what about amazon.in? Because I'm seeing a coolermaster Force 500 for 3,450.00 there.
It's a few years old but the case has support for a ton of fans, most notably front intake, which your elite 310 case seems to lack if it's this one, just seems to be a much older case. http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/elite-310/
Get a pair of these or so to go with it and you should be set there to better cool your PC, they also come in red
Not too big a selection on fans on amazon.in though
And if you don't already have that seasonic PSU, there's this one from corsair that's 750w and modular
Otherwise you probably just need like a case upgrade and maybe some more headroom on your PSU. You'd be better off just saving your money for Kaby Lake/Zen to upgrade your CPU, rather than just like getting a new motherboard now to possibly overclock better.
Mainly mentioning amazon since I couldn't actually find much on the site you said. probably just not looking in the right places
Did not notice the fan slots on the 310, my bad. Probably don't need a new case then.What thermal paste did you use? if it were stock, try to find AS5, or MX-4, preferably MX-4 because it's ceramic. Your CPU shouldn't be all that hot, unless it's rather hot where you live
620W would give you a bit more headroom and should be fine, but ya might as well spend the extra money and go for a 750W PSU to get a 50% increase rather than a 25% increase. Unless that 620W is super cheap
