Well I installed the RAM, set the speed to that of the slower sticks, then put everything else as "Auto" in the BIOS and it all seems to be working well thus far!

Hi all, I have 32GB of Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL16 in my computer. Yesterday at Microcenter I picked up 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3200 PC4-25600 CL16. Beside the speed difference, there should be no issue throwing this new memory into the computer w/ the Crucial for 64GB...

Definitely would not be surprised to see Nvidia spin off their consumer GPU business

For what it's worth, Linux is the move now.

Well, got my X550-T2 card, installed, and this is the result: Not quite the equal down/up as I was expecting, but pleased with the download results. Very easy hardware installation and driver installation! Also changing out the cables tomorrow just for funzies. (I think I'm on a Cat5e [maybe...

Very helpful post, thank you. I've decided to purchase the Intel X550. It seems like the card has been around the block a time or two and generally seems to have favorable reviews. I'm purchasing new from Mouser: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Intel/X550T2?qs=gt1LBUVyoHn5EuxqxsnoEw%3D%3D...

Hi all, Upgrading my Internet to 5Gb/s tomorrow :D However, I realized my Ethernet port on my B550 motherboard tops out at 2.5Gb/s. Anyone have any recommendations for a PCIe network card? I'm not sure what the current state is on network cards... Last time I remember reading a review of one it...

I run POP_OS about 25% of the time right now. Once Windows 10 support ends I'll be making the switch full time.

Well, probably a user error in the end. I did end up returning the drive as I couldn't figure out what was wrong, but it might have just been Windows needed to initialize it? Haha. When I returned it to just buy a larger M2 drive, Windows also didn't detect the M2 drive until I went to Disk...

Hi all, Recently swapped my PC into a new case and with that added a new SSD (1TB) to replace an old one (500gig) that I gave to a friend. I am not detecting the new SSD in my system... not in BIOS, not in Windows, not in Linux (POP_OS). I've swapped the SATA cables, I've swapped SATA plugs...

Wish it had multiplayer but the single player looks fun enough to buy anyway

Hi all, Curious if anyone has any recommendations for a headset for a loud environment? Specifically, I am attending Quakecon next month and last year found my open-back Sennheiser HD599s let in a bit too much sound. I was really cranking the volume and it was really difficult to get the right...

FYI I ended up purchasing this mouse and it's been great. Thanks again for the recommendation!

Hi all, I have an ASUS Prime X370-Pro motherboard and a Ryzen 7 1700X I purchased in 2017 before upgrading in 2021. Since then, the components have just been sitting in my closet collecting dust, but I'd like to revive this build to give to a friend. As part of this, I'd like to upgrade the CPU...

I'm still on Windows 10 but planning on making the switch full time to PopOS! in the next 6 months.
