I'm eyeing a 265KF combo at Microcenter.... $200 less than the 9800x3d bundle. Last several builds have been AM4. And while I have enjoyed the multiple CPU upgrades on AM4 boards..... maybe time to give Intel another shot and save 2 hundy in the process. I know the 9800x3d is the GOAT and all...

1.21 gigahertz or nothing!

I'll check out TPU. Mostly I have sold on Hardforum but it's not a huge community. I do ebay now and then but I HATE them. I did end up installing bazzite on my ancient potato laptop and it looks pretty cool if all I wanted to do was gaming. Haven't messed with it enough yet to see if it...

has intel fixed all their cpu boo boos?

A top mounted PSU in 2025????????

yeah wrist rest and o-rings really made this an awesome keyboard for me. except for the stupid volume wheel, I hate it so much.

Are you sure there's not at least 1 older/slower USB port on the motherboard, for stuff like mice/keyboards? But moot point anyway if it worked for you no issues.

this is why I never update my geforce drivers :)

hmmmm maybe I wait until it's much cheaper

commence holding breath..... now! inhales deeply.....

hey just a heads up an issue I discovered thought I'd share. Got a prompt from icue to update keyboard firmware. Fails. Bother to read the fine print, is says to bypass any usb hubs and go straight to pc. Did this... fails. Tried different usb-c cable.... fails. On a whim, plugged it into...

3 was such a let down for me, I hope they can course correct with 4
