Same... until two of the family EcoTanks developed bad print heads and feeder gears and I was quoted over $100 each for replacements. Then we gave up and went to Brother laser printers... not a failure since (5 years+)

I've never had any problems with an ASRock board... I currently have the X670 Taichi Carrera and love it. ASRock was the first OEM to release an updated BIOS for this too. When I had a driver problem with my older Velocita board, their CS was very proactive and even emailed me some...

I'm just hoping that the 7000's launch will finally bring down prices on a 6800XT, which is the card I actually almost afford

Wait for BuildZoid to do a complete review of all of the boards after they launch

Sitting out this round of cpu/mb upgrades, but could be after a better gpu if prices continue to improve. Having double the M.2 slots is a nice feature though. Any motherboards in white this cycle? /5800X3D - ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero X570 - Sapphire Nitro+ 6600XT

JayzTwoCents just did a video on how to get around the 'online' MS account nonsense

I burn DVDs and Blu's almost weekly.... God Bless Them

Couldn't care less about Ray Tracing... I don't play a single game that even supports it. Hopefully, I won't have to buy a new GPU until after the next product cycle late this year. /6600XT works just fine for 1440p gaming

I've already got a ghost image of my boot drive, but will update it. The CTD issue is weird and has been happening on/off for several years. Never while gaming or running any productivity app - only happens 1-2 times a month when playing a YT video... best guess is that my 6600XT runs out of...

My Win10 system for work/play (Ryzen 5900/32gb) is now pushing me with nags to install the Win11 update... Gaming performance in W11 is about identical to W10? I suppose MS Office performance is same. How is memory handling? I sometimes get CTD's when playing YouTube videos

Every two years or so, when I do upgrades, I'll say to myself 'time to build a W/C'... and then I look at build prices, gasp... just lazy out and put in a good AIO /has Lian Li Galahad 360 - replaced the crap LL fans and went 6-fan push-pull and get silly low temps on my 5900X /14 fans total :p...

Bump (just in case) for a damned good cpu! /love mine

So.... when is John Romero going to get around to 'making me his bitch'? /Dakatana was a real POS //Romero + Carmack(s)=genius - but they were crap solo

I think wokeness ought to be this generation's Godwin Law... the first poster crying racism, sexism, ****ism, equity, etc (and anyone dredging up Gamergate) automatically loses the thread and must stand in a corner with a dunce cap on ;)

Sticking with my 5900X. I'd like to ride with AM4 for at least another year before I start thinking upgrades again.
