    Is your BIOS up to date?

    Yes. On my X470 I did it and it fixed my VGA POST errors somehow. In the ~10 or so years I've been into computers, I have never had a BIOS update fix an issue like that. Funny part is, none of the issues I was having were mentioned in the updates.

    SSD Prices May Be Going Up Again

    Yeah like with WD and the other HDD manufactures where a single flood caused increased prices for like what, 10 years? Yeah I'm sure this is due to demand though. South Korea and Japan acting like children certainly isn't helping.

    Editorial: Are Socket AMD BIOS's Too Fat?

    Paradox Interactive Calls Steam’s 70/30 Revenue Split “Outrageous”

    I don't allow any of the launchers to open at startup and close them whenever I am done with gaming on that specific launcher. Never worry about rogue updates!

    Red Dead Redemption 2-Sooner than later?

    I would expect it to be released around late 2020 or whenever the new consoles are coming out at the earliest. It's a great game and I wouldn't mind buying it again on PC.

    Apple Updates 13″ MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, Kills 12″ MacBook

    MacOS has better dpi scaling, generally runs pretty well for a long time and battery life is generally better. If you don't care about gaming, it's a great choice especially for college where you aren't generally doing any performance intensive tasks.

    AMD Confirms Custom Radeon RX 5700 GPUs Coming in August, Defends Blower Design

    The blower will always perform worse than the 2/3 fan models because it can only pull in so much air with that 1 fan. Good airflow would probably help the AIB models more than the blower. Personally I would wait for the AIB models, watercool it or use an aftermarket universal cooler.

    AMD Confirms Custom Radeon RX 5700 GPUs Coming in August, Defends Blower Design

    It's good for the rest of the components, but it has a pretty big impact on GPU temp/noise that I would argue it isn't worth it.

    I ended up just getting a 2600X since there was a deal with the Strix F gaming for $210. Worst case I upgrade to ryzen 4000 next year :)
