    Intel Has a Problem: Vast majority of Game Crashes come from 13th/14th gen Intel CPU's during Decompression

    The way I'm understanding all of this, it may have already degraded. SO even if it's fine now, that doesn't seem to indicate that it will be in the future. I've always kept temps way down. My CPU doesn't get pushed hard. I've got lite load at level 7 in my bios. I'm a little thrown by MSI bios...

    Intel Has a Problem: Vast majority of Game Crashes come from 13th/14th gen Intel CPU's during Decompression

    But nobody is certain, even Intel. It could be entirely the oxidation issue, which isn't something anyone can do anything about. And it also pisses me off that I need to do that. I bought an Intel to be plug and play. I'm too old and have too many demands on my time to go fussing around with...

    Intel Has a Problem: Vast majority of Game Crashes come from 13th/14th gen Intel CPU's during Decompression

    This is magnificent. I bought a 13700k from an [H]'er last year. I tend to keep my systems for a good long time. I've never bought a used CPU or GPU for a new build before this, but I never once considered that an Intel CPU would be likely to fail. It's part of the reason I stick with Intel...

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    Issues like this are why my latest build used an MSI board after 20 years of using ASUS boards exclusively. I'm quite happy with it and I wont be buying ASUS products until they ACTUALLY get their shit together. Yes, I know MSI isn't perfect either, but ASUS has really been off the rails...

    1080/60 I'm a simple man. May upgrade to 1440 at some point but I'm not in a rush. I know it's complete overkill for 1080 but I cant see spending money on, say, a 7700 when it doesn't save me that much and I may want to go 1440 at some point.

    Mind giving me some expert eyes before i pull the trigger on this build?

    The equivalent Z790 board is 200 more .....thats why I went with 690. I'm not going to be butthurt if I can only clock to 5600, it wouldn't hurt my performance much would it? Rather clock down to 5600 than piss the wife off lol or to cut a corner somewhere else. The 13700k was 300 bucks from a...

    Mind giving me some expert eyes before i pull the trigger on this build?

    Really appreciate any feedback. May go with the 011 dynamic, may go with the H9 Flow. Not 100 percent on the memory, considering Kingston Fury. Not 100 percent on the NVME either but I've about reached maximum wife-approved budget lol Already have the 13700k bought from an [H]'er...

    Please reccomend a Z790 Motherboard

    I'm thinking the Z690 carbon. MSI seems to be the way to go at the moment and it has everything I'm looking for. I really appreciate it!

    Please reccomend a Z790 Motherboard

    Also...I do like having an LED debug display which seems basically impossible to find on any mid range board for Z790 but seems to be attainable on 690.

    Please reccomend a Z790 Motherboard

    Yes, blacked out with some subtle RGB or none at all. Sleek. Honesty at the end of the day I will barely see the motherboard so I'm being too uptight about it. But one of the Tomahawk boards I was looking at had yellow trim which I felt was ugly (one of the Asus boards has orange, too which I...
