I have an RX580 8GB just sitting on a shelf that I was going to try to give away locally. $25 and it's yours.

If you find anyone that only wants the mobo and RAM, I'd be interested in the CPU.

I love going to Microcenter, just not during the holidays. It's ridiculous in there right now.

Bumping. Please don't make me have to go to Microcenter during the holidays!

Looking to see if anyone has a cheap 1TB NVME drive they want to get rid of before I make a trip to Microcenter. I'm just looking for one to stick in an enclosure to use as an external drive for moving pictures between my laptop and desktop since my old one died.

No, it's currently hanging out on a shelf in my studio. I may just end up using it there to play music from.

Is there an empty RAM slot on the Vivobook or is the soldered 16GB all it can support?

I'm looking for a faster upgrade than my Dell 3390 with an i5 8250u for Lightroom and Photoshop. I'd prefer something with a discrete GPU as well. My current laptop just drags with 45mp RAW files. Let me know what you've got! Thanks!

Items don't have to be currently in Amazon's inventory to be fulfilled by Amazon. The seller can also just bring items into Amazon to have them handle the shipping and delivery, which is probably what this seller is doing.

At my photography studio I evidently have some dirty power problems. I've tried connecting 3 different PCs to different circuits and they all freeze and eventually blue screen when a load is put on the processor. Two of the computers I've used at my house and have had zero issues there, so I'm...

I'm running DDR5 so I'm pretty much 100% certain I'm not getting my timings below 17

I had to enter all the timings manually. I could never get it to finish the POST tests with auto or XMP settings enabled. I guess I could play with Gear 2 and see what settings I can get, but if 1:1 and 4200MHz is decent, I'm happy to leave it where it's at until faster memory comes down in price.

So, I'm still looking up the info regarding gears and BIOS settings since it's been a while since I've built a new system. My memory controller to DRAM ratio is set at 1:1 so does this mean I'm in gear 1? And is this the setting in BIOS where I choose it? The 2nd screenshot shows my...
