カートに入れて送料確認してみたけど、msiとかASUS PRIME X370と似たような感じの送料だったよ

国内販売価格次第ではあるけど、自分が今の段階で輸入を選ぶならmsiの XPOWER GAMING TITANIUMかな？送料と消費税込みでもUSD 338.90だから、C6Hと比較すると値頃感が強いよ(C6Hは込み込みで$324.70)

あ、どちらも送料はStandard Shippingなんで、Priority ShippingにするとC6Hの方が送料分で高くなるからね

I have the asus prime b350m-a and it has done me quite well. Bios is really easy to use. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06WRWZNJC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506628179&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=asus+b350&dpPl=1&dpID=51qC1viTO9L&ref=plSrch

Building my 1st ever PC using Paul's Hardware Ryzen 3 build as a guideline. The case he suggested is not available on Amazon anymore. So could anyone recommend a case less than $50 that will fit my ASUS mobo


Also secondary question: Anyone have experience modifying tower cases? I'm thinking about cutting a hole in the side of one and putting a square of left over blue acrylic I have from a guitar amp build. Is it as simple as cutting, sanding and bolting on the acrylic piece? Should I use plastic hardware?

Thanks for the awesome reply. Is this the one you mentioned? here

Im buying this https://www.amazon.com/Prime-B350M-CSM-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B06WRWZNJC mobo + ryzen 2200g but im not sure if the hdmi port in the mobo is regular hdmi or mini hdmi, im asking because i need to buy a vga to hdmi adapter since according to google the igpu of the ryzen 2200g doesnt work with vga and i need to get an adapter.

This is the build i was going for is :

As long as it has the features you need, you'll be fine with getting a cheaper board. Hell, unless you're planning on running crossfire or SLI, you don't even need a x370 board.

A b350 board is fine for 99% of all people

I am doing the same thing. I want to build a matx machine. I think I am going to go with the smaller Ryzen 5 when they come out with the Asus matx board.

The manual is anything but clear. This is a reference to fan curves, not control mode. The motherboard has four-pin fan headers, and as such would require a separate switch to change between PWM and/or Voltage control mode. Manual item 4.6 makes the only reference to fan voltage in the sentence:

>4.6 Hardware Health Event Monitoring Screen -- This section allows you to monitor the status of the hardware on your system, including the parameters of the CPU temperature, motherboard temperature, fan speed and voltage.

The phrasing of the fan mode selector, which you described, tells me that aside from the "Standard Mode" we see in the screen shot the other modes are probably fan-curve related (low/silent, standard, high/full speed; or something like that), not control mode related (voltage/pwm). There's only one menu, and if it includes Customize with five cpu temps and respective fan speeds, that's for fan curves - not PWM vs DC/Voltage control. Voltage control mode can lead to fans stalling out unless it's properly calibrated. If they don't tell me for sure it can use voltage control mode (and they don't), I'm not going to assume it can. Most motherboards can't. Most cheap fan controllers are voltage-control-only, because they're just a resistor.

>ASUS' B350 board - Although it isnt the board being recommended, could you show me these reviews if you dont mind?

I couldn't find any professional reviews of the board. Consumer reviews trend worse than average, and worse than for the ASRock board. I don't think anything is conclusive enough to blacklist it, but with all of the known issues surrounding Ryzen at the moment these Newegg verified owners and these Amazon verified purchases give me pause, and I think I'll wait for a BIOS update or a professional review before I recommend this board. The Full ATX board reviews look similar.

>They are much slower than 7200 rpm drives and unless you have noise data to back up your claim that the same drive technology that exists in both is somehow slower when you spin the platters more slowly, I dont agree this would reduce noise either.

While a few years out of date, this round of testing from SPCR demonstrates that 5400RPM drives are generally quieter both while idle and while seeking. It's a very low priority item, but if you've pushed everything else down into the range of <15dB, a hard drive that idles at 17dB and seeks at >20dB is suddenly your biggest problem. In the Puget Systems video, the 7200rpm drive hits the login splash in ~22 seconds, and the 5400rpm drive hits the login splash in 27 seconds, for a ~23% increase in time to load. Despite using the same technology, some 5400rpm drives are specifically engineered to minimize power consumption and vibration - these are the quietest ones. Photos stored on a 5400rpm drive can be viewed instantly, videos stored on a 5400rpm drive can be played instantly. 4k video bitrate is half of the sequential read speed of most 5400rpm drives. Unless you're installing software there, the only difference you'll see is 30% longer mass file transfer times, which are an AFK task, and not frequent unless the user specifies otherwise.

>The Seasonic unit would only approach that fan speed under full load in a hot box. The idea that it would be audible with a system that would struggle to pull half the load it is rated for, is a little absurd.

I don't have stall speed data for this fan. For high-end fans, stall speed is often about 1/3 of full speed. For cheaper fans, stall speed is often about 1/2 of full speed. For cheaper fans, they typically become audible somewhere between 700 and 900 rpm. If the Seasonic PSU fan isn't capable of shutting off completely a-la the EVGA G2 Eco mode or other similar model's fan-off modes, it's probable its fan can't slow down to a speed below 700 RPM - I don't know exactly, but based on the best information available to me regarding typical performance of similar devices, it's borderline.

>Next, even without a speed control, fractals x2 fans are nearly silent at full speed. I know this is anecdotal, but there are youtube tests out there that demonstrate them vs other fans.

Note that in this roundup of high end fans designed for low noise, at 700-900rpm they're typically around 15-17dBA, and at 1200-1500rpm they're typically around 22-25dBA. This review of the Define R5 showcases what appear to be similar technology but not quite identical fans (hard to tell a couple years apart, designation is the same). Note that at full speed, only 920RPM, those fans are at 24-25dBA.

We've built a fairly quiet PC, but aside from the case's claim to be a quiet case, it's only marginally quieter than average. As described above, a really really quiet PC needs a low power hard drive designed to minimize vibration and power consumption, PWM or Voltage control of fans allowing speeds below 700RPM, and a PSU with the ability to shut off its fans at idle.

Sadly, SPCR is fading away. I'm waiting to see who takes up the mantle next.

$150 + $88 = $238 so it’s a massive $8 off in total. The reviews aren’t too great on the mobo but I’m not sure

I got the ASUS B350M-A and love it. I make music as well as game and stream, and it's got super low noise for a motherboard due to "high quality Japanese capacitors" or whatever lol

It's all USB 3.0 and 3.1 as well so I'm stoked. And it's relatively cheap at ~$89
