it's sorta tangentially related to this topic: If you have a Prime membership and log into Twitch with it, you can get a free copy of Deathloop in your Epic Games Store library.
I decided I am going to wait on RYZEN 8000X3D CPUs, unless the 14700k gets a price drop REALLY soon. I will sell off my 12700k CPU and motherboard, replace it with my 7800X3D CPU in a B650E board.
I switched when the 7800X3D launched because I had the money and saw the uplift, even at 4K which I play at on my LG C1. Starfield is something else and g-sync makes it very smooth. I'm also glad to be on another platform that will upgrade-able for the next few years
I just grabbed the 4TB for like $208 a few weeks ago. It did pretty well when I transferred about 2TB, but the limits of cacheless hit too. They are great for many many use cases and the warranty is solid.
Looks like a BIOS is out for my Z690 FORCE. I'll be waiting for the 14700K's first price drop. A fun thing I see MSI is sneaking into their latest BIOS releases is the same BS ASUS pulled where it tells Windows to auto download chipset drivers/Armory Crate without asking you. Just caught it...
The PA 120 SE version is 155mm tall, so it WILL fit in a NR200P if you have the version with the steel side panel. I have a DVR build in this chassis using a 5600G and the PA 120 SE, and it all fits!
once you compress them they are a little, I was worried about the same issue and ended up being REALLY deliberate and test fitting a few times before going for it. No issues so far and it's been a couple weeks.
I just used the new Kryosheets when I changed up my air cooled system. I got mine from Titan Rig in the US. I trimmed the 29x25mm one to use on a reference 6900XT (went back to air cooling from a waterblock) and the 38x38mm for my 5800X3D and TPA120. Results are both as good as any paste I've...
