Any 3700X/B550 folks running Linux here?
I just popped for an Asus B550 Prime-CSM mobo, an AMD 3700X, and 16GB Corsair PC3200 DDR4 to finally build a new DAW. I know some folks here are running 3700X/B450 and 3700X/X570 systems, but I've been holding out for months on the B550 chipset, and wondering if I am going to be the first guinea pig to try this combination out with Linux and REAPER.
I specifically held out for the new fanless heatsink only B550 chipset to get a PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 slot and PCIe 4.0 video slot. I doubt I'll buy a 4.0 video card, but I will definitely be buying an NVMe M.2 PCIe 4.0 drive in the future. Initially, I'll be using my existing Samsung EVO SSDs. Also, if there are any AMD 3700X specific things I should be aware of before I start my build next Thursday when the parts all arrive, any information will be appreciated. Oh, I also bought this shiny case with three slow RPM 120mm LED fans. Last edited by Glennbo; 08-02-2020 at 02:51 PM. |
