I've been screwing with bios settings and ruined one motherboard and nearly destroyed my 3700X, but it's been fun--almost as fun as the days of manual jumpers and DOS-installed drivers! So from trial an error and reddit all week I'm kinda gathering this: * Ryzen 3000 performance is more about...

It seems like it would be an easy thing to do. Boards have so many flaws that have just continued through the years. Even with this new x570, it's like no one considered how close the GPU would be to the CPU if it's in slot 1 or how close to the PSU if it's in slot 2. And in either slot, the end...

Speaking of early situations, a bad BIOS flash bricked my Asus B450-F. I started stripping it to move the parts to a replacement motherboard. When I removed the wraith prism cooler, the CPU came up with it--the stock thermal paste glued the lid of the CPU to the copper bottom of the cooler. It...

Microcenter is offering and additional $50 off for combo purchases of CPU and 5700/5700XT or $50 off for CPU/x570 mobo bundles. Was told this is good for at least a week. They also sold out of 3900Xs within 5 minuts of opening, and they did not expect to have 3800Xs until tomorrow (didn't sound...

they're using GIGABYTE GA-AX370-Gaming 5...not even sure the right drivers are out yet.

Something from MSI like a B450 Tomahawk or something for Gigabyte if you need on-board wifi. Not sure on the 570s yet. I think they are all starting near $200 and go up. Maybe get a mobo/cpu combo deal with a new Ryzen 3000 CPU?

ugh =/

I am trying to have faith that the Red Devil XT from PowerColor in August will match/slightly best the 2070 Super. But the price will be about the same, too. Sapphire will probably have an equivalent as well.

So I'm gearing up for Sunday and a Ryzen 3000. I see that my nearby Microcenter has some open box B-die GSkill DDR4 3600 CAS 17. My motherboard is an Asus ROG Strix B450-F. Spec-wise it lists ram support for DDR4 3200(O.C)/ 3000(O.C)/ 2800(O.C)/ 2666/ 2400/ 2133. It currently runs well with...

I am really interested in overclocking not working. I wonder if that is specific to the board and/or manufacturer, or if all the x470/b450s etc. will be hobbled at launch.

Along those lines, gray with speckles is a crappy color for doing actual mechanical work because it will camouflage small things like nuts and bolts and even small tools. I'm thinking about this practically now (I need to do something like this for my garage floor), and I do things like maintain...

Interesting. Garages tend to see a lot of temperature change and moisture. I wonder if those cracks and/or flakes become weaknesses.

It helps, and siloxane is really easy to apply. Concrete and mortar and stuff like that is really porous. I'm not sure if siloxane would help with some typical garage spills like oil. I'm not sure about the epoxy. My mom had her garage done with it, and it started peeling less than a couple of...

You could clean, stain, and seal it or just clean and seal it with something like siloxane--that would block water and maybe some other liquids from penetrating, and it wouldn't make the surface slick. I think there are urethane coatings that might work better than epoxy.

10k might not be horrible depending on the length of fencing and decking material and where you live. 18k is definitely an FU quote. deck 2-3k (this could be higher...there are a lot of variables) fence 2-3k (2) storm doors installed $800-$100 (really depends on the doors and trouble of...

I think that's generally good, and you will preserve upgradeability for a 3000 series CPU. Keep in mind, the 3600X is going to cost ~$249 and should outperform the 2700X (the base 3600 at $199 might outperform it, too). If you can find a good price on a 1TB Samsung 970+ Evo, go for it--no...

So the good news is that the 3000 series AMD CPUs set to release July 7 are looking to be as good if not better performers than what Intel offers, operate at lower wattage, and they are definitely at better price points, too. The bad news is that benchmarks for price/performance and OC...

Haven't tried it---what can cause the local spike?

I'm pretty sure it won't be a problem for single player on a Fios connection. I am not sure how it will play out on Comcast or similar cable ISPs. Their system degrades with concurrent usage, doesn't it? For multiplayer, I wonder if they will figure some average possible latency and force it on...

Is there basically a CCX per 4 cores? I'm thinking the 2400G is a single CCX and the other half goes to the GPU function. So basically the 2200G and 2400G and their Zen 2 equivalents won't benefit from the improved scheduling. I don't see benchmark improvement on my 2400G, anyway. (GPU...

The Great Schism Glad to hear it. I generally like Vivaldi.

I've encountered this. My insurance handles third party billing by sending the payment to me! So I become the escrow. It's stupid. It's even stupider when the third party bill never arrives. Seems ripe to me for all sorts of scamming.

I'm not sure there will be an AMD equivalent for another year 5700XT, $449, 5700 $379, both come with Gears 5 and PC Pass. Some Ryzen CPUs will, too. The gears game kinda looks like a badass Division? They're going after 1440p...no real flagship 4k card yet. Might never been one if the Cloud...

Was that Jedi Forest Whitaker???

Yeah this is one of the reasons I want to take a little longer view.

Well done! Any thoughts on AMD Calls for June 2020?

I love the potential of cloud gaming, but I think it's possible that Google has an inferior product, Google knows it, and that's why Google is trying to grab the first headlines and close the deal with pre-orders and naming rights. I'm 99% sure Microsoft will have better AMD GPU and CPU tech...

These are strange times. If Microsoft debuts XCloud at E3 running EPYC and Navi/RDNA...and PS5 will be running AMD custom...wtf is going on?!

This is like the Fios customer's dream.

Maybe like improvising a turbo button?

Everything is on their end, isn't it? How would one cheat? It's one of Harrison's sales pitches.

I would pay for shooters and other online multiplayer games without cheating. Is keyboard and mouse still an option?

goddamn them for the naming rights perk =/

I think there are a few Apple users who get lured in by a cool gadget or business need, and would now flee, but they are lost in the "ecosystem".

работа работа работа я только работаю I don't see Trump exactly, but the show makes me wonder if the United States could pull together as effectively, regardless of President. You know the opening from Big Lebowski: Sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But...

Got one, or a few, that you like?
