Motherboard and CPU question

[Penumbra]

I want to know if Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz/8GT/s/8MB(7th gen) will work with motherboard MSI B360-A Pro (s1151, Intel B360, PCI-Ex16)?Because on the website they write that this and 90% motherboards support Intel Core / Pentium / Celeron of 8th gen.

Also I want to add another question.What is the difference between Socket 1151 and LGA 1151?Will CPUs with socket 1151 suit LGA 1151?

[ugafan]

no. that's for an 8th gen processor, such as an 8400.

you should get a z270 board with a 7700k.

The i7 7700k requires a 100 (with updated BIOS) or 200-series motherboard. It will not work on a B360 board.

Socket 1151 and LGA 1151 are the same thing, this is just webshops being stupid and inconsistent.


Do you already own that i7 7700k? You can by much better CPUs for half the price now. And those better CPUs will also have an upgrade path which the i7 7700k doesn't.

this will give you an idea of what parts are compatible with a given cpu.

No,I just want to construct a good PC for gaming,especially for Arma 3 in online.Could you advise some nice CPUs with high GHz(not lower than 3.6GHz)

GHz is quite meaningless in terms of performance. A 5Ghz CPU can be nuked by a 3.5Ghz one.

AMD Ryzen 2600(x), Intel i7 8700k or Intel i7 9700k.

Intel CPUs are currently overpriced due to a CPU shortage which will likely last until later this year. The AMD one isn't ideal for Arma (Unless this has changed), however it delivers a awesome price/performance for games which can use the extra cores and it still has a upgrade path, you can replace the CPU with a new one later. The upcoming AMD AM4 CPUs are rumored to be awesome.

So,is AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.4GHz/16MB a good variant?I think of buying this motherboad for PC ASRock A320M-DVS R3.0.And will all this suite to GTX 1050Ti 4GB?

Get a B450 motherboard. You will otherwise regret buying a A320 later, be it right after purchuse when it's running an outdated BIOS causing it to not work with the 2600x or later in it's life when you can't overclock or it limits the CPUs you can upgrade to. I don't recommend any motherboards lower then the Gigabyte B450 DS3H.

The 2600x will go great with a 1050 ti.

Thanks!

But wait.Online shop says that this motherboard supports AMD Ryzen 1st / 2nd gen / Ryzen with video core Radeon Vega / 7nd gen A-series / Athlon X4.So will Ryzen 5 be suitable for it?

It does if the BIOS is updated, if it's running an older BIOS it will not work.

Still do NOT cheap out on the motherboard, for more $20 you can buy a much better board. Get a B450 board.

Yeah,I said about B450.Is BIOS on B450 updated?And a number after Ryzen means a generation,am I right?

Hey i will tell you that you are gonna need more GPU for ARMA 3. Though that card will run the game you will need to turn down the graphics quite a bit. My buddy has a GTX 1060 6gb and was having a hard time running the game super smooth online he was using a haswell Intel I7 32gb of ram etc. The ryzen is a great choice but i would also get a better motherboard if your budget will let you. I would check ebay out you can get GTX 1070 for around $220 shipped and even $200 shipped at times. This will be much better than the 1050ti. You can also get the Ryzen 1700 on newegg for $169 or the Ryzen 2600 for $5 cheaper and you get a free copy of Division 2. Im running a overclocked GTX1080 and have a hard time keeping steady 60-80fps online sometimes depending on the server.

400-series boards support Ryzen 2000 CPUs out-of-the-box.

Turn down the graphics quite a bit from medium or high?

Unfortunately I couldn't find any out-of-the-box.Is it possible to take CPU out of the box and than add additional cooler when it's installed?

[Cathulhu]

Out of the box means that the CPU is supported without any updates or changes required.
And yes, you are free to use an aftermarket cooler.
