    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm refresh edition) *** 2/25 back at $85 shipped

    Finally up and running! 2 days, man this is a zippy little chip! Highly impressed coming from my FX8320. 1600 AF - $85 Ballistic 16GB - $78 Motherboard - $75 Received CPU as a gift, Amazon was giving away a free $70 credit for sign up for their credit card so why not so that brings total...

    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm refresh edition) *** 2/25 back at $85 shipped

    Ah, gotcha. I picked up some 3200 DDR4 to replace my 1600 DDR3. Looking forward to this budget bump! One day, I'll explain how I'm doing all this for $83 lol (once its working that is).

    Noice! What kinda of multiplier and ram speeds are you using? I have an H80 loop I could put on this thing, technically but originally wasn't planning on it.

    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm refresh edition) *** 2/25 back at $85 shipped

    Yep, so AMD refunded my purchase, the CPU was DOA basically. New one is on its way and should arrive Wednesday. Excited by this super budget chip! You need to research your setup parts. The GT720 is super weak for a GPU, just about anything I'd imagine would be better. So if you went with this...

    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm refresh edition) *** 2/25 back at $85 shipped

    Well, got mine and the CPU posted twice - once upon initial start and once upon initial windows setup. After that, the B450M pro-M2 Max motherboard I went with was displaying a CPU error LED light. I guess I'll be returning it. *sigh*.

    Back to Sold Out Edit - Back in Stock, I just made my order before they get away again. Goodbye trusty FX!

    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm refresh edition) *** 2/25 back at $85 shipped

    Ya, I think it will be a good step for a super budget refresh. Won't break any speed records but it will certainly be faster! Should be noice! My 970 GTX may also be a bit aged but I'm certain with a better CPU than my FX, it will do better. I see it as a most awesome deal!

    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm refresh edition) *** 2/25 back at $85 shipped

    Considering grabbing one of these for a small core update to my aging FX8320. The FX still does everything I want, I'm not a big current gen PC gamer so there is little need to update but this is a heck of an option for the price to couple with my 970 GTX.

    Corsair HX850 - Shuts Down

    I find it hard to fault myself for the lack of receipt considering it was sent with the original RMA which Corsair is aware of and if they wished to confirm serial numbers of the items once received from what was received back at the time of the original RMA they could do so. Not that it matters...

    Corsair HX850 - Shuts Down

    I have to first say I am not pleased with Corsair support and service (Ticket 6780992 for reference). My originally purchase of the HX850 was about 3 years ago, this particular unit I've had for 1 year and 3 months. I RMA'ed my original purchase as it began to randomly buzz. If this is indeed...

    Do you think Ebay is too risky for video cards because of ESD?

    This is the primary reason I stopped using ebay. I sold my old 7800GS AGP BFG card back in the day which was a good card. I received the funds in my paypal account and proceeded to withdraw them into my personal account. I then received a claim that the buyer never received the card which was...

    Is Battlefield 4 worth buying

    I'd say no, the game plays horribly if you ask me. I'm going back to playing BF3, at least I know I'll finish rounds and I don't have to worry about patches that screw it up. Luckily I didn't buy BF4, it was given to me as a gift.

    Battlefield 4 **Official Discussion Thread**

    Have done and applied, prior to even BF3 days. I'm speaking from my experience and what I have been able to log from BF4, take it for what it is. Enjoy your gaming.

    Battlefield 4 **Official Discussion Thread**

    I'd like to leave a few notes for those of us playing BF4 - After many days of working with my 965BE C3 which is overclocked to 4.140Ghz and my 570sli setup, I have come to a few conclusions: 1. Frostbite 3 is not a very good engine for fluidity, CPU spikes are frequent and take smoothness...
