https://www.newegg.com/xfx-rx-675xytbdp/p/N82E16814150869 That is only $50 more than the xfx swft 309 RX 6700 XT. It is the normal $50 premium, but it also is including a step up in class.

And all I got in my cereal box was cereal.

Really depends on what you want to accomplish... Do you have kids that are playing games at Grandma's? Does your mom want to be a virtual pilot on msfs? If so, the 2500k might not be the best. Does she just email and do her check book, etc...

While I'm not sure about the 40%...perhaps 40% of exported grain comes from those countries? BUT, It is potentially even worse than that... Nearly all of Russian exported wheat travels through the Black Sea. That is now a war zone. So let's...

I am not aware of bonds that are inflation protected. Inflation is usually priced into the interest rate. US treasuries are usually pretty short term, so quite beholden to short term interest rates. Yellen had a glorious opportunity to...

I bought a second hand really stinky card once two. I disassembled it and thoroughly wiped every bit down with alcohol. The heat sink I think I washed with soapy water. This got rid of most of the smell. Then I learned the dude double crossed...

I tend to agree. I was listening to John Cochrane talk about this several months ago. He theorized that the fed does not have the political fortitude like it had under Voelker during the early 1980's. Under Voelker, the way to tackle inflation...

Not a gigabyte.... I got one as part of a newegg shuffle. Luckily it wasn't an exploding one, but it seems weak. No way can it do 750w.

Agreed on the denon room correction system being the better system. I have no experience with the bounce off the ceiling type, but I am skeptical on if it will give the desired effect. Likewise on only two atmos speakers. In my particular...

Klipsch makes nice stuff, but it isn't for everyone...there are those that just don't like the sound. For your klipsch build out, I'd consider striking the sub and going with a different manufacturer. Subs are not timbre matched and klipsch...

I am confused...Are you trying to do a 6.1 system with two center channels?

I am a Klipsch owner as well, but they are mostly old products...thankfully speakers don't go obsolete like computers. My speakers are from the late 90s and still work quite well. But anyway, I have KSF-10.5 fronts and a KSF-C5 center. I also...

You say the card that they're offering is a rev1 card. If memory serves, that means it is a FHR card; so likely made before May or June. Thus, likely a refurb. Offside is, being a FHR card, it is worth more to the right second hand buyer. I...

I had something similar happen where the process of removing the stock cooler and putting it back on it didn't want to work. I did an RMA and got a replacement.

I have bought an open box case, mobo and cpu cooler from B&H. All a-ok.

I am in my mid-40s and yup, that's how it works... All the things you liked to do pre-kid kind of disappear. Either you get guilt for doing your own things or you feel guilty. Playing games is not "quality time." My son is eight and now we...

ok, so what does your MB manual say about lanes? Are there any slots that share with a sata controller or the m2? Also, are you running the most up to date bios? What about uefi? are you in uefi only mode or uefi and legacy?

how are you plugging the GPUs into the board? direct or with risers? If direct, it may be a lane issue. I have a B450 board (msi) with seven GPUs but all on risers, so I only need a total of seven lanes.

My problem lately was when I started MSFS 2020 it would load and then just dump to desktop before fully loaded. Took a long time to figure that one out....had to uninstall the drivers and re-do them. Luckily, in the week I was trying to get it...

My son is eight...his favorites are minecraft, farming simulator and he has been obsessed lately with feed and grow fish.
