Not sure, but people overly sperg about NVME specs in general...especially if you're just using it for gaming or whatnot. So many people are convinced you need top of the shelf PCIE 5.0 tlc drives.
What do you mean? B650 is more than good enough for most gaming setups. You don't need the X*70 chipsets unless you really need tons of external I/O and storage.
It's fine, it's just not superb.
Oh, that's what I thought. For games and crap like that read speed is what matters. Save files won't be 190GB write operations.
I have a NV2 for file storage, which is a slower NV3. They are cheap and slow. also the TBW is very low for 1TB. 2TB is the same TBW as a 1TB samsung drive.
I asked about the NV line SSD in the same thread and was told about its' low quality, answered by the Farms' local Saber simp.
I'm not asking for an X*70 mobo, I'm worried about that specific B650 model because from what I searched on both reviews in PCPartpicker, reddit and amazon, that specific mobo has issues in both its' BIOS and the mobo's error prone issues in reading any component installed in the chipset, be it the RAM, GPU or even the M.2 slots it has.
Bro there is a notacable difference when downloading files to my 990 vs my Crucial drive which has a 6600 write speed. lol.
SSD is a Western Digital Blue, so not the best but not chink shit
Most of the deals I see these days are for PCIe 4.0 SSDs, so I think PCIe 3.0 is displaced except for cheaper sources like the used market. PCIe 4.0 SSDs don't have the heat, power draw, and expense of PCIe 5.0, although that might improve soon since mainstream/cheapass PCIe 5.0 controllers are appearing.
after Nintendo flooded the market and some Nvidia cards flopped the scalpers may not have enough liquidity to snap up the AMD cards.
It's difficult to justify paying more than $400 for it, since GPUs below/near/above it will have better price/performance. It's a small die, so if AMD commits to it, they should be able to supply it and drop that price closer to MSRP. Cutting production of the 8 GB model would also be helpful.
I tried them the other day and I was caught off-guard by the soundstage. Music sounded like it was coming from speakers all around me instead of plain old headphones, it was really nice.
I don't want to be "that guy" but he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does...
Huh.
All 3 of those companies stick their own logos on chinkshit PSU's. If you want a company that makes their own PSU's look at Super Flower and Silverstone.
A review cited that the SSD is a Western Digital SN580 Blue drive.
A few years isn't that bad for an AIO, but I'd expect it to last 6 minimum.
MSI has one of the more user-friendly BIOS menus I think, and that particular motherboard model is pretty good overall. PCie 5.0 is the only major feature it's missing.
