  1. New sub $1k build ideas

    For World of Warcraft, he'll want the CPU to be better than the video. I'm trying to put together an AM5 build and I'm just not getting under the $1k budget, and I haven't even added the screen. :( Even in an AM4 build I can't get under $1k... Best I came up with is $1138...
  2. Gabe Newell Says He Was Attacked by a Shark Recently, But He Wasn’t Really Scared: “I’m Kind of a Weird Person”

    I was gonna say that even the shark was pissed we didn't get HL2: Ep 3!
  3. Missing/reapearing drive

    Historically I have had nothing but issues with machines and sleep-states. Something eventually goes south for the winter when they wake. If the drive was dropping out while the machine is in use, then it sounds like the controller on the NVME drive is beginning to fail.. I'd suggest getting...
  4. Web Browsers

    Currently I'm using Firefox and WaterFox for my browsers of choice.. I haven't really had any issues with it that would make me want to abandon ship at this moment..
  5. ASRock Phantom Gaming X870E NOVA WiFi Motherboard Review

    I believe the Aquantia 10Bgit chipset is capable of dropping down to 5Gbit, but your point is quite a valid one. Networking needs in the consumer place needs a LOT of work to catch up to the times. That being said I do like this board. My only complaint about it is that for the X1 PCIe slot...
  6. ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi Motherboard Review

    I'm not sure if enough PCIe lanes are available to do all that without gimping anything. You'd have to go EPYC or otherwise to get the PCIe lanes necessary.
  7. Linux in Windows any good?

    No... Watching this thread as I'd like to dip my toes eventually as well..
  8. Not all cables are equal

    Apple's USB-C Charging cable that they provide with their phones, tablets, etc. is only wired for USB 2.0 Data connectivity... Mind boggling that they would ship a device that's USB-C capable, and a USB 2 data cable..
  9. ASUS XG-C100C V3 PCIe Network Adapter Delivers Hyper-Fast 10 Gbps Speeds for Desktop PCs with Compatibility for Current Networking Standards

    This thing is still PCIe 3. Why couldn't they make it a PCIe 4x1, giving it the same bandwidth and make those x1 slots on the motherboards usable!
  10. Qualcomm Is Reportedly Looking into Buying Out Intel

    Not I.. That's for sure!
  11. Intel 13th/14th Gen RMA question/advice

    I would stick with the BIOS update and the moment they become the slightest bit unstable, RMA them STAT!
  12. Latest Reports regarding NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Series “Blackwell” GPUs Were Mistranslated and Misinterpreted, It’s Claimed

    I heard from a guy, who knows a guy, that nVidia could have been involved with JFK's assassination too... They AI'ed the whole thing and JFK is actually home with his new alien wife on the planet Blackwell..
  13. Intel Core i9-14900K Microcode 0x129 BIOS Fix: Before vs After Performance Benchmarks

    From watching Buildzoid's video on the update, he had easily captured 1.58V+ on the VCore prior to the update, and not able to trigger the scope after the update.
  14. AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D Launched as a $299.99 Micro Center Exclusive

    I have to travel over an hour to get to my local MC and I do it, cause it's the only game in town WORTH going to. There's a Best Buy not 25 minutes from my place and I don't go there.
  15. AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D Launched as a $299.99 Micro Center Exclusive

    That was the same sentiment when they released the 5600X3D as a MC Exclusive.. Although we never got the "real" reason it went MC-Only, but your hypothesis is dead on from what I've heard.
  16. Rumors of Greater Power Consumption with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series “Blackwell” GPUs Continue

    I'm in the same boat Brian.. My 3070 and 3080 put off a lot of heat as it is..
  17. My new Powercolor 7900GRE Red Devil came in...

    I love having nVidia Broadcast for my zoom and streaming purposes. If AMD had anything that rivaled it I'd be interested in the tests. Appreciate the offer though! :)
  18. Microsoft Says the End Is Nigh for Control Panel, Nearly 40 Years After Its Introduction

    I agree Zarathustra. Irks me to no end that you can't simply go to "Devices and Printers" anymore from the old Control Panel in Win11.. I can't stand their new "settings" interface.. Maybe it's just my old age showing.. Get off my lawn you young whipper-snapper!
  19. AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU Review: 8-Core Zen 5 at $359

    Absolutely.. AMD did good on their promise of making AM4 last for 5+ years.. One reason why I have stuck with their CPU products of late. When the next generation of motherboards come out, is when I foresee my home system getting its much warranted upgrade.
