Interesting I guess the drive is just going out on its own? Maybe power on hours or something. I have 16GB of RAM in this PC but I never seem to go above that limit useless I'm playing a game. Probably not related but I did have an HDD drive go out on me last year. I found a very large...

Hey fellas, I have a PC I use mostly for watching streamed content from YouTube, Twitch and Amazon. The NVME drive I use is a 512GB Inland from microcenter I bought back in 2019. As of 2021 I leave this machine on 24/7 so I can watch shows or streams as they come up. I've noticed since about...

Oh I did, I've had mine for over a week now and am very happy with the upgrade.

I found the setting in my BIOS that let me run the CPU at stock speeds. For my Aorus B450m I located the settings I was looking for under M.I.T. >>> Advanced Frequency Settings >>> Advanced CPU Settings >>> Core Performance Boost which I set to disabled. My 5900XT can run at 3.3GHz all day long...

Walmart has been pricing their pre-orders for physical games at the same prices Nintendo announced a month ago when they announced digital prices for a copy of Yoshi. So for example, you can grab Star Fox for for $49.99 physically from Walmart. It looks like Amazon has been price matching as...

Amazon must have a lot of these and they want to clear out some stock. Not sure how many would be making a big jump like I did but so far I'm am very happy with my purchase. I just wish RAM prices weren't so ridiculous.

Thank you both for the replies. So update. Temps are stable. Still higher than expect but still within the limits before throttling. Turns out in my haste I mounted one of the heatsink fans in a way that caused the blades to clip with what I believe were the fins of the heatsink. I thought I had...

Mine arrived today and after doing some BIOS updates it works but its a toasty little guy. Always boosts to 4.10+GHz and doesn't go to stock 3.3GHz speeds. Tried running Prime95 for an hour and it thermal throttled down to ~2.16GHz during testing. Running my rig on an Aorus B450M on BIOS rev. 67...

My PC is a mix of things these days. Streaming, gaming and even a little video editing to upload my streams to YouTube. Since I have some Amazon GC money left I could snag this for around $135. I've been researching this since last night and watched on YouTube that Hardware Unboxed recommend the...

Man going from a 1700x to this would be big. Might have to bite one this.
