I just built my wife a ryzen 5 5600g, it posted right away (lucky me 👍) first thing I did was flash the bios it’s the first time I’ve had a new pc with such a new bios. Love the 550 board, very user friendly bios. I found the setting to let my system use 50% system ram for graphics (I used 32g 3200mhz) I’m extremely impressed with the 5600g it’s way better than I was expecting. Plan to make a video on it.

For Intel, you will need to get that from the motherboard manufacturers website, Intel since they don't make boards anymore they dont make it easy, but no,,,,,,,, you would not auto detect and you dont download drivers from a BIOS, not sure I understand what you mean there
@@ThisBytesForYou I meant Intel Driver & Support Assistant, I thought it detects latest chipset driver and downloads them but I got my answer thank you !

I recently purchased a 32GB RAM update for my PC, as I though it would help my FPS with the game I've been playing recently (Escape from Tarkov). I used my old 8GB sticks with these new ones, because they were the same speed, same models and everything, but sure enough I've run into some issues (mainly it seems my computer struggles when coming out of sleep mode, and opening Task Manager). I also did not touch BIOS after putting in the new RAM, as I was afraid to mess things up. Now I'm gonna follow your BIOS settings on this video to hopefully fix my issues. I have my sticks plugged in a configuration of 8/16/8/16 and was wondering if I should just keep the new 32GB installed and forget about the old 16GB? Or are the issues more on the side of skipping the BIOS settings? Also, I'm not sure if relevant but I have an Nvidia GPU, not an AMD.
my irrelevant comment to feed to youtube algorythm and help promote this video, cause it definitly deserves it. thanks, straight to the point. i didn't understand the PCI-E1 Gen Switch to gen 4, i still don't know why, and the Chipset Gen Switch to gen 3 , i mean how ? why ? where do i get the info for my own pc configuration. but anyway great video.
Well awesome my friend, I am very happy you enjoyed it and your kind words, it means the world to me. If your device is Gen3, and cannot work on Gen4, you switch it to Gen3, if its gen4 you set it to Gen 4 so that it doesn't perform Gen3 speeds. Mostly all devices are backwards compatible, but you will receive less performance. I hope this helps, if not, please do ask, always happy to help.
@@ThisBytesForYou thx for reply, i watched your 2d video on the subject, i noticed that you didn't change this particular settings at all, so was thinking "well i guess keep it on auto is fine", cause yeah i don't know what you mean by "device" exactly, motherborad ? PCie could mean nvme ssd, gpu etc, i could for sure check for each which "generation" they are i guess ? but still to which parameter this "PCI-E1 Gen Switch" refer to. as chipset gen, like for exemple usung a ryzen 7 5800X with same B550-A pro what is the chipset gen ?? where i get the info ?
PCI_E1 is your 1st PCIE slot, where your graphics card is. Auto is generally safe because it can switch in between 3 and 4 as it needs, but if it is a Gen4 card, its best to switch it to Gen4. Correct, there are many PCIE devices, the device in E1 is the graphics card. For these kind of videos I give an overview of everything, I don't get very specific because I will lose more people I am trying to help. What graphics card are you using? And yes, you would check for each device, because more than likely, they are not the same as to what I am building to which is again, why I don't get incredibly specific.
@@ThisBytesForYou just wrote my comment and hit reply but it seems it doesn't even exist now :D let's go again, your reply is really appreciated, i got you about giving an overview. but yeah it was preety hard to "guess" that E& was the GPU, great info ! thx for that. (i wil use a 4060 ti). about the chipset Gen i can now found by myself (Ryzen 7 5800x on MSI 550-A PRO)
If I just built my pc could this be the cause of the VGA light I have? All the rgb and fans come on I’m just not getting a display even after reseating EVERYTHING. Please help I’m lost🙏🏾😭
So that I can help, please list the manufacturer and exact model number of the following components: 1. Motherboard - manufacturer and exact model number 2. CPU - manufacturer and exact model number 3. RAM - manufacturer and exact model number 4. Video Card - manufacturer and exact model number 5. Power supply - manufacturer and exact model number 6. Monitor - manufacturer and exact model number Redundant I know, but many people forget to enter manufacturer and exact model number 7. Do you have ALL of the PCIE connections plugged in, and not daisy chained or pigtailed, each coming directly from the power supply? 8. Are you running through HDMI, DP, DVI, VGA, any adapters?
you can keep them on the Windows thumb drive, I make the 2nd drive for BIOS flashing, and since I am using it anyway, I keep the drivers there too, but if you have already flashed the BIOS, then yeah, the Windows thumb drive is perfectly fine my friend ;)
Would you recommend updating the BIOS regularly, even if there are no problems? I built my computer a few months ago - with the help of your videos 🙂👍🏼 - and installed the latest BIOS at that time. The computer is running fine so far.
I was a product development engineer, I got stuff before customers would see it, I liked to find broken stuff and fix it for manufacturers, so I would test BIOS', I like to find broken stuff. That being said, I like to be on the latest and greatest. But as a customer, you have to plan it out. Look at the version you have now, then go to the boards support site and see what the latest version is and see how many BIOS versions are between yours and that version and see what has been fixed between those. If you wouldn't mind, I would like to help what is the manufacturer and model number of your board? You can find it using CPU-Z, download it and run it, then click on the Mainboard tab and you can get that there. Also, you will see BIOS there as well, tell me what it says under version and date just below that.
@@dreadtrain2846 exploits are discovered, performance improved, sure no problems... yet. Doesn't hurt to look at what is available and based on what it says, update or not, did you read my reply to him or to you and understand what I said?
@Zaphran-qv5jy That's just my opinion, there is nothing wrong with using what is working, but sometimes you are leaving performance on the table, I prefer not to wonder, just update ;)
@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you for the quick response 👍🏼 Of course, if it's not inconvenient for you. It's the Asus TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D4. BIOS version 1402 date 9/11/2023.
Thank you for making these videos. They are a great source of knowledge since I haven't built a computer since the AMD Athlon and the eVGA GeForce 660 graphics card. I got everything up and running and now I'm ready to flash my BiOS. The most recent B550 A PRO is a beta version - 7C56vAI1(Beta version). Do you recommend using a beta version, or should I use the regular version (7C56vAH) prior to the beta version? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support my friend, it means the world to me and I am so very happy I could help you. As for the BETA BIOS, I always do, I am always happy with BETA BIOS', people just get scared of them, they should, I just prefer to go with the latest. Also realize, anytime you flash the BIOS, and they have AGESA updates, always install the latest chipset drivers to give you more performance. I've love to get your feedback on it.
Happy you found it beneficial. I can't really give you a straight forward answer on that. Updating the BIOS can be beneficial in most situations, to resolve security vulnerabilities, fix hardware/firmware bugs, add compatibility to new components, or if there’s a major system enhancement update available. If you’re building a new system and the motherboard may not recognize the newer CPU, updating the BIOS before installing the operating system could be necessary. For example, if you’re using a newer AMD or Intel CPU with an older motherboard, you might need to update the BIOS for the motherboard to recognize the CPU. Updating the BIOS does come with some risks. If the update process is interrupted, for instance, due to a power outage or incorrectly installed hardware it could potentially render the motherboard unusable. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure a stable power connection or backup during the update process and of course that everything has been installed correctly. In conclusion, whether it’s safer to update the BIOS before building the system depends on the specific components you’re using and the current version of the BIOS. Again, its hard to answer that question with a before or after.
I would say the X670E, not because its MSI vs Asus but for a few reasons. The X670E chipset offers more PCIe lanes for high-speed devices such as NVMe SSDs and multiple GPUs, more overclocking support, and possibly more USB and SATA ports. The B650E-F chipset would likely be more modest in terms of features, possibly offering fewer PCIe lanes, limited overclocking support, and fewer USB and SATA ports compared to the X670E but it really depends on your use. What will you be using this system for?
@@ThisBytesForYou I usually play mmorgs and few AAA games also watching movies from streaming sites also youtube so pretty simple use.... a 4070 super is my choice for gpu.So 7800x3d---4070S---x670E my system will be.So now that u know my components should i flash my bios before even insert my cpu inside my mobo or flash after posting like u did in ur video? ty again for ur time!
I usually do it this way, but as BIOS' come out, I flash to get all of the latest features and protection and performance, it isn't needed, but neither is stability, performance and protection, I prefer it, so pick your poison ;), personally I would go with the x670E.... actually, I will be updating VERY soon... Not sure what to get, maybe the new AMD processors coming out, not sure.
Thanks for the video. My last build was 12 years ago. Just built a new one with a b650 gaming + Wifi, Corsair Vengence 32gb 6000mhz rgb tmram and the Samsung 900pro m2 should arrive soon. Saving this video for when it arrives. Only issue I have is the ram sticks only work in slot 3 and 4 not 2 and 4 as it should. I just get a cpu/dram diagnostic led. That's a task for after windows install and some fact finding. Thanks again and any advice greatly welcomed from a seasoned builder
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. So, what is the manufacturer and model number of your board and the RAM, did you buy them in a kit or are they purchased seperatley?
The MB and Ram were purchased separately but the sticks were in a pack. The board is a msi B650 plus wifi and the ram is Corsair Vengence 32GB 6000mhz rgb. They are listed as compatible. Aside from this problem, I used the guide tonight am not into windows, chipset and mb drivers all done now just installing games and researching ram issues!
You can see in page 28, that it should be 2 and 4, so that is a big issue I think: download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/B650GAMINGPLUSWIFI.pdf Make sure to update the BIOS to the latest version, there are 7 RAM issues resolved since the initial version.
If I use slot 2 and 4 or 1 and 4, the diagnostic lights for dram stay illuminated. Assuming it could be defective board/slots or cpu. Downside is I do not have spares to test which is a pain
@S1lpion installed windows with a known issue, especially memory, will pave the road for non stop issues. Have you flashed the bios to the lastest version?
I bought the ASUS Prime B550M-A WiFi II board for $104 for my build, that Wi-Fi is about 30% faster my builds from now on will be a Wi-Fi supported board.
yeah, I didn't even think about WIFI for this build, I ended up buying a USB wifi adapter, but the ping on it is AMAZING. I was looking at the board you chose, but when I was looking at it is was 120, you got a deal ;)
@@ThisBytesForYou it’s still on sale on Amazon, not sure if you flip PC’s or not but yeah that’s cheap, I just found WD blue m.2 500g for $25 at Walmart I bought the last 3 they had. I’m getting ready to retire in 10 months, I’m considering flipping pc’s for something to keep me busy and I like building them. Plus what I’d build would be far superior than those Amazon prebuilt pc’s.
I dont, since I have a day job and my night job is youtube, I barely have time to breathe, much less take on building for a gig, I did that when I was a product development engineer for Alienware and Velocity Micro, good times for sure. I hope it all goes well for you my friend.
You say at 10:07 that i can always go back and specifically select that thumbdrive but what if i don’t have that or can’t find it. Like yes i can go into settings and then into Boot and there i can change the Boot order priorities but that doesn’t help And besides the boot order priorities the only things i can change are Full Screen Logo Display Bootup NumLock State Info Block effect Post Beep

Well, the overclocking in this case would be for the graphics card, an AMD card, you have an NVIDIA card. For you, you can't just overclock anything and expect it to work, you need to spend hours tweaking and tuner, playing with voltages and such, slowly bumping up the speed 5mhz at a time, and there is no guarantee at all that you will be able to get a 400mhz overclock. Go in your BIOS, go to the help section in easy mode then press F6 to load Optimized Defaults, save and exit, and go back in the BIOS, load XMP. Dont play with anything else, voltage or speed and see what that says. Also, what BIOS version are you on?

I fear you may have changed WAY too much to go back, upgrading to Windows 11 then back but also changing MBR to GPT and then enabling and disabling CSM, I would not recommend it. Windows 11 is awesome, it works great and is current, Windows 10 is End of Life next year, I highly recommend going over to 11. Anyway, you cannot move back to MBR from GPT without wiping and reloading. With GPT you have 3 partitions, in your boot devices you have Windows Boot Manager, that has to be your main boot device. DO you have this as a boot device?
@@ThisBytesForYou i already wiped everything and tried doing a clean install of both Windows 10 and 11 (Windows 10 on mbr and gpt both) but its not booting if i install it

Ryzen 9 is a Series, like Honda Civic, Honda Civic what, Coupe, Hatchback, Si Sedan, etc and then the year? Here is a list of Ryzen generations: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Ryzen_processors There have been 8 series of Ryzen 9, with all series included, there have been 31 different Ryzen 9 processors. You can find your exact model number by right click on the start button (In Windows 11) then selecting "System", there it will read your processor under Device Specification.

@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks for replying. Sorry for being slow, it's been a busy week. 1. Motherboard: MSI Pro 660M A DDR4 2. CPU: Intel i5-12400 LGA 1700 3. RAM: T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 (2x8GB sticks) 3200 MHz; Model TLZGD416G3200HC16CDC01 4. AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT 5. Power supply: Corsair RM750x 6. Monitor: LG Ultragear 27GP750-B 7. I believe so 8. Running through HDMI, no adapters 9. UEFI 10. A2& B2 11. BIOS CSM/UEFI mode is set to UEFI, so I assume it's disabled 12. Fast boot is enabled in the BIOS. Can't access windows
1. Make sure your on the latest BIOS, even though it is a beta: 7D43v1J1(Beta version) www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B660M-A-DDR4/support Make sire you are using the latest Chipset Driver especially after you update you BIOS: www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B660M-A-DDR4/support#driver After you update the BIOS, go back in the BIOS and go to the exit section and select "Load Optimized Defaults", save and exit then go back in the BIOS. 2. Are you using the 8PIn EPS CPU Power or the 4Pin, or both? 3. Make sure you are using XMP in the BIOS, and after you set XMP, don't touch any other settings for memory. 4. Looks like your GPU doesn't use PCIE cables, so are you good, and would benefit from using the 8Pin EPS for the CPU. 8. Is your HDMI cable 2.1, if its not, I highly recommend you buy an HDMI 2.1 cable, this can make or break this.
@@ThisBytesForYou Sorry again for delayed reply, was traveling 1. I had the correct BIOS, but the chipset driver I got from the intel website is not the same as the one from the MSI website that you linked. But I can't access Windows so i'm not sure how to install now. Do i need to start the install from scratch? 2. using the 8 pin 3. I believe I am using the XMP 4. 5 (8?). I'm not sure, but I have a suspicion probably not. I've tried different cables I have at home without change, but I don't really know if those are 2.1 either. Will buy a new cable to test. Logically it seems weird to me that the output would work with the HDMI for the BIOS but not the OS, but I'm not going to pretend like I fully understand the interplay here

I just built my wife a ryzen 5 5600g, it posted right away (lucky me 👍) first thing I did was flash the bios it’s the first time I’ve had a new pc with such a new bios. Love the 550 board, very user friendly bios. I found the setting to let my system use 50% system ram for graphics (I used 32g 3200mhz) I’m extremely impressed with the 5600g it’s way better than I was expecting. Plan to make a video on it.

For chipset if its intel, do we download auto detect chipset driver for intel or we download it from bios?
For Intel, you will need to get that from the motherboard manufacturers website, Intel since they don't make boards anymore they dont make it easy, but no,,,,,,,, you would not auto detect and you dont download drivers from a BIOS, not sure I understand what you mean there
@@ThisBytesForYou I meant Intel Driver & Support Assistant, I thought it detects latest chipset driver and downloads them but I got my answer thank you !

I recently purchased a 32GB RAM update for my PC, as I though it would help my FPS with the game I've been playing recently (Escape from Tarkov). I used my old 8GB sticks with these new ones, because they were the same speed, same models and everything, but sure enough I've run into some issues (mainly it seems my computer struggles when coming out of sleep mode, and opening Task Manager). I also did not touch BIOS after putting in the new RAM, as I was afraid to mess things up. Now I'm gonna follow your BIOS settings on this video to hopefully fix my issues. I have my sticks plugged in a configuration of 8/16/8/16 and was wondering if I should just keep the new 32GB installed and forget about the old 16GB? Or are the issues more on the side of skipping the BIOS settings? Also, I'm not sure if relevant but I have an Nvidia GPU, not an AMD.
You want to watch this video th-cam.com/video/xqWfeOsTto8/w-d-xo.html
my irrelevant comment to feed to youtube algorythm and help promote this video, cause it definitly deserves it. thanks, straight to the point. i didn't understand the PCI-E1 Gen Switch to gen 4, i still don't know why, and the Chipset Gen Switch to gen 3 , i mean how ? why ? where do i get the info for my own pc configuration. but anyway great video.
Well awesome my friend, I am very happy you enjoyed it and your kind words, it means the world to me. If your device is Gen3, and cannot work on Gen4, you switch it to Gen3, if its gen4 you set it to Gen 4 so that it doesn't perform Gen3 speeds. Mostly all devices are backwards compatible, but you will receive less performance. I hope this helps, if not, please do ask, always happy to help.
@@ThisBytesForYou thx for reply, i watched your 2d video on the subject, i noticed that you didn't change this particular settings at all, so was thinking "well i guess keep it on auto is fine", cause yeah i don't know what you mean by "device" exactly, motherborad ? PCie could mean nvme ssd, gpu etc, i could for sure check for each which "generation" they are i guess ? but still to which parameter this "PCI-E1 Gen Switch" refer to. as chipset gen, like for exemple usung a ryzen 7 5800X with same B550-A pro what is the chipset gen ?? where i get the info ?
PCI_E1 is your 1st PCIE slot, where your graphics card is. Auto is generally safe because it can switch in between 3 and 4 as it needs, but if it is a Gen4 card, its best to switch it to Gen4.
Correct, there are many PCIE devices, the device in E1 is the graphics card. For these kind of videos I give an overview of everything, I don't get very specific because I will lose more people I am trying to help. What graphics card are you using?
And yes, you would check for each device, because more than likely, they are not the same as to what I am building to which is again, why I don't get incredibly specific.
I am here my friend, if you need help with anything just ask.
@@ThisBytesForYou just wrote my comment and hit reply but it seems it doesn't even exist now :D let's go again, your reply is really appreciated, i got you about giving an overview. but yeah it was preety hard to "guess" that E& was the GPU, great info ! thx for that.

Hey i already did my windows usb is it very very recommend to make one for driver or i can make them after the windows instalation
you can keep them on the Windows thumb drive, I make the 2nd drive for BIOS flashing, and since I am using it anyway, I keep the drivers there too, but if you have already flashed the BIOS, then yeah, the Windows thumb drive is perfectly fine my friend ;)
Would you recommend updating the BIOS regularly, even if there are no problems? I built my computer a few months ago - with the help of your videos 🙂👍🏼 - and installed the latest BIOS at that time. The computer is running fine so far.
I was a product development engineer, I got stuff before customers would see it, I liked to find broken stuff and fix it for manufacturers, so I would test BIOS', I like to find broken stuff. That being said, I like to be on the latest and greatest. But as a customer, you have to plan it out. Look at the version you have now, then go to the boards support site and see what the latest version is and see how many BIOS versions are between yours and that version and see what has been fixed between those. If you wouldn't mind, I would like to help what is the manufacturer and model number of your board?
You can find it using CPU-Z, download it and run it, then click on the Mainboard tab and you can get that there. Also, you will see BIOS there as well, tell me what it says under version and date just below that.
you may not know what is broke, reading the descriptions of each bios will tell you what is broken and what is fixed.
@@dreadtrain2846 exploits are discovered, performance improved, sure no problems... yet. Doesn't hurt to look at what is available and based on what it says, update or not, did you read my reply to him or to you and understand what I said?
@Zaphran-qv5jy That's just my opinion, there is nothing wrong with using what is working, but sometimes you are leaving performance on the table, I prefer not to wonder, just update ;)
@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you for the quick response 👍🏼 Of course, if it's not inconvenient for you. It's the Asus TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D4. BIOS version 1402 date 9/11/2023.
Thank you for making these videos. They are a great source of knowledge since I haven't built a computer since the AMD Athlon and the eVGA GeForce 660 graphics card. I got everything up and running and now I'm ready to flash my BiOS. The most recent B550 A PRO is a beta version - 7C56vAI1(Beta version). Do you recommend using a beta version, or should I use the regular version (7C56vAH) prior to the beta version?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support my friend, it means the world to me and I am so very happy I could help you. As for the BETA BIOS, I always do, I am always happy with BETA BIOS', people just get scared of them, they should, I just prefer to go with the latest. Also realize, anytime you flash the BIOS, and they have AGESA updates, always install the latest chipset drivers to give you more performance. I've love to get your feedback on it.
Very helpful video!Is it safer to update bios before building system?
Happy you found it beneficial. I can't really give you a straight forward answer on that.
Updating the BIOS can be beneficial in most situations, to resolve security vulnerabilities, fix hardware/firmware bugs, add compatibility to new components, or if there’s a major system enhancement update available.
If you’re building a new system and the motherboard may not recognize the newer CPU, updating the BIOS before installing the operating system could be necessary. For example, if you’re using a newer AMD or Intel CPU with an older motherboard, you might need to update the BIOS for the motherboard to recognize the CPU.
Updating the BIOS does come with some risks. If the update process is interrupted, for instance, due to a power outage or incorrectly installed hardware it could potentially render the motherboard unusable. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure a stable power connection or backup during the update process and of course that everything has been installed correctly.
In conclusion, whether it’s safer to update the BIOS before building the system depends on the specific components you’re using and the current version of the BIOS. Again, its hard to answer that question with a before or after.
@@ThisBytesForYou So for a 7800x3d and an msi x670E tomahawk or asus rog strix b650E-f that i m thinking is it ok either way?Ty for answering!
I would say the X670E, not because its MSI vs Asus but for a few reasons.
The X670E chipset offers more PCIe lanes for high-speed devices such as NVMe SSDs and multiple GPUs, more overclocking support, and possibly more USB and SATA ports.
The B650E-F chipset would likely be more modest in terms of features, possibly offering fewer PCIe lanes, limited overclocking support, and fewer USB and SATA ports compared to the X670E but it really depends on your use. What will you be using this system for?
@@ThisBytesForYou I usually play mmorgs and few AAA games also watching movies from streaming sites also youtube so pretty simple use.... a 4070 super is my choice for gpu.So 7800x3d---4070S---x670E my system will be.So now that u know my components should i flash my bios before even insert my cpu inside my mobo or flash after posting like u did in ur video?
ty again for ur time!
I usually do it this way, but as BIOS' come out, I flash to get all of the latest features and protection and performance, it isn't needed, but neither is stability, performance and protection, I prefer it, so pick your poison ;), personally I would go with the x670E.... actually, I will be updating VERY soon... Not sure what to get, maybe the new AMD processors coming out, not sure.
Thanks for the video. My last build was 12 years ago. Just built a new one with a b650 gaming + Wifi, Corsair Vengence 32gb 6000mhz rgb tmram and the Samsung 900pro m2 should arrive soon. Saving this video for when it arrives. Only issue I have is the ram sticks only work in slot 3 and 4 not 2 and 4 as it should. I just get a cpu/dram diagnostic led. That's a task for after windows install and some fact finding. Thanks again and any advice greatly welcomed from a seasoned builder
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. So, what is the manufacturer and model number of your board and the RAM, did you buy them in a kit or are they purchased seperatley?
The MB and Ram were purchased separately but the sticks were in a pack. The board is a msi B650 plus wifi and the ram is Corsair Vengence 32GB 6000mhz rgb. They are listed as compatible.
Aside from this problem, I used the guide tonight am not into windows, chipset and mb drivers all done now just installing games and researching ram issues!
You can see in page 28, that it should be 2 and 4, so that is a big issue I think: download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/B650GAMINGPLUSWIFI.pdf
Make sure to update the BIOS to the latest version, there are 7 RAM issues resolved since the initial version.
If I use slot 2 and 4 or 1 and 4, the diagnostic lights for dram stay illuminated. Assuming it could be defective board/slots or cpu. Downside is I do not have spares to test which is a pain
@S1lpion installed windows with a known issue, especially memory, will pave the road for non stop issues. Have you flashed the bios to the lastest version?
I bought the ASUS Prime B550M-A WiFi II board for $104 for my build, that Wi-Fi is about 30% faster my builds from now on will be a Wi-Fi supported board.
yeah, I didn't even think about WIFI for this build, I ended up buying a USB wifi adapter, but the ping on it is AMAZING. I was looking at the board you chose, but when I was looking at it is was 120, you got a deal ;)
@@ThisBytesForYou it’s still on sale on Amazon, not sure if you flip PC’s or not but yeah that’s cheap, I just found WD blue m.2 500g for $25 at Walmart I bought the last 3 they had. I’m getting ready to retire in 10 months, I’m considering flipping pc’s for something to keep me busy and I like building them. Plus what I’d build would be far superior than those Amazon prebuilt pc’s.
I dont, since I have a day job and my night job is youtube, I barely have time to breathe, much less take on building for a gig, I did that when I was a product development engineer for Alienware and Velocity Micro, good times for sure. I hope it all goes well for you my friend.

Well, the overclocking in this case would be for the graphics card, an AMD card, you have an NVIDIA card. For you, you can't just overclock anything and expect it to work, you need to spend hours tweaking and tuner, playing with voltages and such, slowly bumping up the speed 5mhz at a time, and there is no guarantee at all that you will be able to get a 400mhz overclock. Go in your BIOS, go to the help section in easy mode then press F6 to load Optimized Defaults, save and exit, and go back in the BIOS, load XMP. Dont play with anything else, voltage or speed and see what that says. Also, what BIOS version are you on?
@@ThisBytesForYou ok so, i am on BIOS version E7C56AMS.AH0, i just followed the steps you said and it still seems to be a problem. How would i know where to start and what to do exactly with this hours long tweaking you mentioned until i get some acceptable results?

I have a problem with my MSI laptop , I have upgraded my ssd to 1t and 16gb ram and I need to install my windows again , I have a usb from Microsoft with windows but I can’t do anything to install it, idk what the problem is , if I manage to do it and select x64 it shows the screen like it’s broken , and if I select x32 it goes on but I can’t use my keyboard or mouse to hit next ? Can you help me out with this problem ?
so what is the exact model number of your laptop, it would be on the bottom of the laptop and how did you make that usb thumb drive?

My pc was booting normal and one day just descided to Switch to CSM. I wanted to Upgrade to Win11 but it requires uefi + Secure boot and stuff. I tried all Kinds of stuff, switched the ssd from mbr to gpt and back, tried installing it from another usb stick, tried booting from another Drive but it always go back to the start of the Installation when the Stick is still in after installation and if i remove the Stick and try to boot with uefi i get thrown straight back into bios without any error Message and if i try to boot with CSM it just goes black and tells me theres so bootable device.
#1, I will tell you NEVER upgrade from one OS to another, do a fresh install, but let's move on to helping you.
So that I can help, please list the manufacturer and exact model number of the following components:
1. Motherboard - manufacturer and exact model number
2. CPU - manufacturer and exact model number
3. RAM - manufacturer and exact model number
4. Video Card - manufacturer and exact model number
5. Power supply - manufacturer and exact model number

Thank you very much for your help
I fear you may have changed WAY too much to go back, upgrading to Windows 11 then back but also changing MBR to GPT and then enabling and disabling CSM, I would not recommend it. Windows 11 is awesome, it works great and is current, Windows 10 is End of Life next year, I highly recommend going over to 11. Anyway, you cannot move back to MBR from GPT without wiping and reloading.
With GPT you have 3 partitions, in your boot devices you have Windows Boot Manager, that has to be your main boot device.
DO you have this as a boot device?
@@ThisBytesForYou i already wiped everything and tried doing a clean install of both Windows 10 and 11 (Windows 10 on mbr and gpt both) but its not booting if i install it
So the problem is Windows 10 will attempt to write to the same boot partition as 11 and 11 will do the same to 10. Are you attempting to do this on 2 different disks or the same disk?
Where is that "ultimate" case you said you found?
Working through reviews, I am one person, it's coming but since I also have a day job I can only do so much
Does that bother you,... that I have non stop reviews and a TREMENDOUS backlog?

@Galaxius1 trying hard my friend
I got the B550M pro-vdh wifi Motherboard and tried your tutorial but everytime I start the PC the screen is just dark blue like something is about to start but nothing happens. Sometimes when I start it and spam F11 the bios shows up but not everytime, I couldn't really figure out when the bios shows up. If I close this page where all the USB infos are windows starts, which I installed today as well. If I want to install the newest bios, I click on it and it moves to left but there is no second window on the right. I was in windows a few times and actually installed the drivers but everytime I restart the same thing with the dark blue background occurs and I need to start and spam F11 about 20 times to get in the USB drive window (Idk how to name it), close it and start windows again. Thanks to you I already installed neaely everything and I thought maybe you could help me with my problems 😅

Make sire you are using the latest Chipset Driver especially after you update you BIOS: www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B660M-A-DDR4/support#driver
After you update the BIOS, go back in the BIOS and go to the exit section and select "Load Optimized Defaults", save and exit then go back in the BIOS.

3. Make sure you are using XMP in the BIOS, and after you set XMP, don't touch any other settings for memory.
4. Looks like your GPU doesn't use PCIE cables, so are you good, and would benefit from using the 8Pin EPS for the CPU.
