Yeah, shipping to CONUS would probably add too much to make it a deal. But if that was in the US, it would be a fantastic deal.

Kids are getting older and are switching from tablet gaming to pc gaming, looking for a laptop to travel with for them (possibly 2 so they don't fight over it, if prices are decent). We aren't home enough to justify a desktop. They currently use mine, but I often need it for work, but...

I grew up gaming on a G500. I've tried so many mice looking for a good replacement, I'm really hoping the Kone XP is going to be it!

Updated, decided to try some Roccats out. Looking for one each of a Kone XP and Kone Pro Air.

Looking for one of both of these mice.

The g500s looks exactly like the g500, I'm adding this to my list of mice to watch for. Thanks!

Good suggestion for sure, but I've gotten so used to the extra buttons on the g500 that I'd love to find something with more than the mx518 has. The G604 has the button layout I'm looking for but I can't find one to test anywhere and I fear it'll be too much like the G502 (which I can't stand...

My 12 year old G500 is getting to the point where it fails more often than not. I've tried a few other mice and none of them have the comfort of my beloved G500. I'm tired of playing guess-and-check with mice I know aren't going to live up to my expectations. Does anyone have a functional...

My dads PC stopped working. I swapped his i5-6500 into my z170 board and it worked fine, and swapped PSU/cables/ram/etc into his and it wouldn’t work. So I’m guessing his H110 board died and I’m trying to get him up and running for as little as possible. Looking for any working motherboard that...

[Problem Solved!] I’ve been back and forth with PowerColor and AMD directly testing pretty much everything I can on my end, the consensus is it’s an issue on the MSI board. I’ve also been in touch with MSI, but haven’t got much past the “did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in?” type...

I’ve found a few other people with the same issue, and they’ve all been with MSI z690 boards. I’ve reached out to the others and the only response I’ve gotten back is “I switched to Asus and the problem disappeared”. So right now, I’m leaning towards an issue with the MSI bios that affects this...

Update on everything tonight: Pulled the whole thing apart and built a super basic loop with some old soft tubing on a cardboard box. No change. Dropped the GPU into an old z270/6700k build using the same ssd, same ram, same PSU as the z690. Posts and runs perfect at Gen 3 x16 speeds (which is...

Yeah, I didn’t realize there was an AMD specific section until after I posted this. I thought I deleted this post, but it didn’t stick I guess.

The 6900xt is second hand, everything else is new. What would cause PCI lanes on a gpu to fault? Is it possible to have a fault on x16 but not x4? Any info you need to help diagnose, just let me know.

Bios is up to date. The system booted with the 6900xt in the PCIE3 slot, I made sure motherboard bios was up to date, drivers were up to date, and all windows stuff was up to date. I did not test before building the loop as I didn’t have an air cooler or a way to build the water loop outside of...
