    Just went from a 3600x to a 5800x

    Nice! Next week im going from a 8700k to a 5900X and Im pretty excited. I havent had an AMD build in forever. The only reason Im switching over is because I got a combo on a 3080 so I figured I might as well use the board :P

    Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme X570 Ver1.1 and Driver Installation

    Is this just kinda unspoken rule about Corsair and G.skill? Just bump volts to 1.4 for XMP profiles?

    Steam summer sale June 21st

    My friend bought Kingdom Come, he said it was great. He had waited so long for it. Definitely worth it. Im a sucker for Civ games, and I hope Civ 6 comes out on sale. But i've heard some horrible things about it.

    Recommend a good gaming wifi router

    I agree, its just a marketing ploy. They get so much money out of people when they tag it "Gamer"

    A dud 8700k? (overclocking, that is)

    Hopefully mine isnt a dud! I havent started the overclocking process yet. Turbo will go up to 4.7 with little to no voltage increase though. Not sure if that means much. Im coming from a 2600k that was pretty decent.
