  1. nVidia 30xx series configurations pricing UPDATED...

    I am kind of stuck like Chuck. I skipped the RTX 2000 series so I am due to get a RTX 3000 series card. Impatiently waiting, hoping that they release a RTX 3070 with 16 GB soon. I flat do not have the money for a 3090.
  2. Getting a board while the getting's good (MIcro Center actually had some X570 stock today).

    Yeah, about all the Webster (south Houston/NASA area) Fry's has are computer cases. I used to go to Fry's for all my computer parts then I found Micro Center and ther motherboard/CPU bundles 😍 Wasn't trying to ditz you, just telling you the sad state of affairs we are dealing with and thinking...
  3. AMD High-End Gaming PC Build Guide: Spring 2020 Edition

    I thought cool, until I saw THREADRIPPER. Yep I'm done unless... Does any body have the Mega-millions and/or Powerball winning lottery numbers for this weekend? J/K, actually it is a very well thought out build guide. I can only recommend one change though, drop the RTX 2080 Ti and get a...
  4. Getting a board while the getting's good (MIcro Center actually had some X570 stock today).

    (NG)Fidel, not sure where you live but there are only two Micro Centers in Texas, one in Richardson TX, a suburb north of Dallas right where LBJ Freeway (Loop 645) crosses North Central Expressway (TX Hwy 75), and the other is in the Bellare area of Houston west of Rice University at the corner...
  5. Getting a board while the getting's good (MIcro Center actually had some X570 stock today).

    Yep Houston is like Dallas. Extended stay at home orderss and mask orders. I drove over to Micro Center after placing my order for pick up online and since I am disabled and did not bring my wheelchair, the wife went in and paid for it. Took her about 15 minutes. Their parking lot was dead...
  6. Getting a board while the getting's good (MIcro Center actually had some X570 stock today).

    With the motherboard situation, I had just thought about waiting for B550 and hoping some stock showed up next month but Micro Center got some boards in stock today and I picked up a Gigabyte Aorus Pro WIFI X570 board. Not quite what I wanted, no post code LED display and it has WIFI, but it...
  7. ASUS PRIME X570 Pro Motherboard Review

    What a shame. I just checked pricing on this board and the only place that has this board is one of Amazon's Scalping Pirate Price Gouging POS partners and they want $385.23 for a $259.99 motherboard. Yeah, I'll pass on that one. Hopefully we will see some stock of X570 boards soon. I am...
  8. AMD Budget Gaming PC Build Guide: Summer 2020 Edition

    Hopefully B550 and the Ryzen 2 3300X will be out by the time you do the summer guide. ;)
  9. What is life like with an Ryzen CPU?

    Right now I am contemplating jumping to Ryzen as my current system is 5 years old with recent storage, GPU, & PSU upgrades. The plan is to go ahead and build a new system and move my power supply, GTX 1080 and all of my storage to the new rig. Just haven't decided if I am going to buy an X570...
  10. What is life like with an Ryzen CPU?

    Yep, I still have a couple of old boards around somewhere with pencil whipped Athlon processors MELTED into the socket when I did something stupid or had my cooling fail.
  11. MSI MEG X570 Unify Motherboard Review

    Dan, you got my hopes up and I go try to buy it and everyone is out, Both New Egg & Amazon say unavailable and do not know if they will get any more in stock. o_O
  12. AMD Confirms Ryzen 3000 Processors Are Soldered

    Yep, 5 cents seems insignificant until you apply it to an entire series of CPU's. How many units of Clarkdale were produced? What about Skylake? That is a whole lot of processors.
  13. Should I go ahead and replace it? Corsair HX1000W PSU

    Thanks everyone. I was thinking about changing the PSU since I will be replacing the MB/CPU soon.
  14. How many fingers do you have left....?

    I have building my own `puters since the 386 days and have a few battle scars and left a little blood in a few cases in the old days (I am a retired ASE Master tech and have many more scars from working on cars, big trucks and oil field equipment). Any one remember "First Saturday" in Dallas...
  15. Should I go ahead and replace it? Corsair HX1000W PSU

    I have a Corsair HX1000W PSU in my main gaming rig (the one in my sig). It is the oldest component in my system and is 9 or 10 years old. I bought it at Directron when they still had a Storefront in Houston years and years ago. I am getting ready to update my MB and processor and am thinking...
  16. Is your BIOS up to date?

    Probably not... o_O :oops: :rolleyes:
  17. Brent Justice Intro and GPU Review Format

    Looking forward to some great reviews. I relied on [H]ardOCP for years for trusted reviews. I still have and use a Ratz pad and even have the Ratz Pad beta pad given out at QuakeCon in 2002 around here somewhere. I also had the pleasure and honor of working security for some fo the [H]ard OCP...
  18. What CPUs are in your Machines?

    Home Desktop: Intel I5-4670K @ 4.4 GHz :cool: Workstation: Intel I3 something (on vacation so can't check right now and no I don't overclock the company's computer) o_O Laptop: Intel Pentium B960 @ 2.2GHz (Gateway bios is crap and lousy cooling so can't overclock it anyway) :rolleyes:
  19. What GPU(s) are you running in your main rig?

    Right now a single EVGA 1070 GAMING in my main rig (see sig). After I upgrade my motherboard and processor, I will upgrade my GPU.
