Yeah, it's looking that way. Thought it was worth asking though. Thanks!

I went to the site and watched some videos on youtube about it and there seems to be some question about it playing nice with MSI boards. A warning that it could potentially brick the board. I haven't been able to figure out if that's something that's no longer an issue so I've been hesitant to...

So back with another possibly dumb question on this subject. I have all rgb and fans connected to a powered hub which is connected to one argb header and one fan header on the motherboard. The rgb is just fans, aio cooler pump and a couple strips I added inside and underneath the case. No rgb on...

Thanks! Too late though, as I mentioned above, I got my hands on a 6600 xt for a price I was grudgingly willing to pay because I haven't seen anything that gives me confidence things are gonna get better anytime soon. I'll go with a 1080p monitor and it'll be fine for anything she does.

Thanks for that. I'm hoping everything plays nice together but I suppose everybody hopes that just before they start looking for help when it doesn't.

Ok, thanks for the help. Sincerely, not being sarcastic. The lack of replies pushed me to research and figure it out for myself like I used to before there was the convenience of just asking online. And then I felt dumb for even asking... it's actually really simple.

I've never taken rgb into consideration before but I want it for the build I'm doing for my daughter. The board is a MSI b550m VDH-Pro wifi with 2 argb headers and several rgb headers. The case is a Cooler Master Mastercase H500 with 2 argb front fans. I'm using the Cooler Master Mastercool...

I appreciate all of the advice. I was actually able to get my hands on a 6600 xt last night for more than I wanted to pay but within what I was willing to pay under the current situation. So that won't be going in with relatively short term upgrade in mind, it's just gonna be what she's getting...

Yeah, the two I mentioned weren't even close to my first choice even for a temporary solution but they're all I've been able to find reliably available at a semi-decent price. Anyway, thanks for helping me with the decision. I've been putting off buying anything but time is running out and...

Shame about the crystal ball but thanks for your thoughts on the matter. Wasn't actually looking for availability predictions though, just educated opinions on my idea for a backup plan in case things don't improve by then.

Real time w/ pause for me.

Ryzen 5 5600x, b550 mobo, 16 gb 3600mhz ram build for my daughter. Current gpus seem to be impossible to actually buy, which apparently everybody but me already knew. Haven't done a build in a long time. I realize this isn't a high end build but it's far above anything she's ever had. Anyway...
