I have a SilverStone SOB02, which is a re-branded UJ265, and didn't encounter any problems for the year and a half I used it. It came with its own SATA and power cable (90 degree angled plug was perfect for the ML08 case I was using), and again no issues there. It's a little alarming that your...

Excellent, thank you for sharing your results!

Please report back on how everything goes, I tried the Intel 9260 on the AB350 as well and could not get it to work at all, had to buy an 8265 to get functional WiFi. If Intel released a driver to finally make the 9260 compatible with Ryzen systems, that would be great news. I think I posted...

I second this suggestion. I had that same RAM kit and I could never get the AB350 to boot on the XMP profile, or on 2933. I could hit 3066, but only on BIOS 3.40 and that obviously won't boot with Raven Ridge. BIOS 4.40 did not let me boot on 3066, highest I could get was 2666. Haven't tried...

Unfortunately I have to agree that this listing seems very suspect. When this was first posted, I tried to get some details and clearly I was not the only one interested in buying. The seller posted pictures of the outer box with the DR ZABER tape, and then...nothing. Seller disappeared for 4...

No need to apologize, I appreciate you looking out for fellow users. To answer your question, I did upgrade from 3.40 to 3.60 first, then 3.60 to 4.40. As I mentioned before, BIOS 3.40 won't even let you update to 4.40 without having flashed 3.60 first, 4.40 will just not show up in the Instant...

Thank you for confirming. I tried the Team Dark Pro 3200 MHz CL14 DDR4, which appeared to be Samsung B-Die according to what I'd read and Thiaphoon. Even though it was 45 mm at its tallest point, the design of the module means it doesn't conflict with the HDD bracket in the Sentry. And if it...

Updated to BIOS 4.40 on the B350 ITX, now Windows Task Manager and Cinebench R15 read my CPU at 3.20 GHz instead of 3.70 GHz. It still benchmarks the same as 3.70, and CPU-Z and HWiNFO64 still read it at 3700 MHz. Something funny must be going on with how the system reports to task manager and...

Anyone have experience using taller RAM modules with the hard drive bracket? I'm considering switching my Corsair Vengeance LPX to something with better Ryzen compatibility, but still need the bracket to mount an SSD. I was able to find one user with the G.Skill Flare X modules in their Sentry...

I previously had unlocked Intel chips I kept at stock and never bothered to overclock. But with this Ryzen build I was feeling adventurous, probably because I was no longer forced into the highest-end chipset; I could overclock with a 65 W TDP CPU on the "budget" motherboard. It scratches the...

Those numbers look good to my (inexperienced) eyes. My Ryzen build with the NH-L9a seems to run a little louder at idle than the Intel build with an LP53 and the same Noctua fan ( ~1950 RPM vs. ~1750 RPM). The CPU side of the Sentry case feels a little warmer than the Intel as well, maybe 2-3...

This is very exciting news! As I mentioned on the last page, I've already picked up a case from a previous backer in December so I won't be purchasing from this next batch. But I am very happy to see more people will have an opportunity to own a Sentry, and hopefully it will be back in the...

I couldn't resist and put together an R5 1600 with the ASRock B350 Fatal1ty ITX yesterday. It boot the first time, but wouldn't POST after I configured some things in the BIOS. I left it alone for an hour and while talking with my girlfriend, she said the word "RAM" and that made me remember the...

Gaming is my primary use case, with some occasional image editing and video rendering on the side. I'm only on 1080p 60Hz with an IPS display right now and for the near future I don't see myself going past 1440p 60Hz IPS. Since I might need this build right away, I was thinking the R5 1600 for...

Much appreciated! I guess I'll see how my RAM does with the stock BIOS and if it's not up to my liking, I'll try flashing a newer one. Now I need to decide between a R5 1600 at $169.99 USD, and a R7 1700 at $229.99 USD. Hmmm...
