HI again, I do believe that bridge mode may turn off their WiFi. Also for me, they care currently charging $14/month for their gateway. So I agree with you guys that say just buy my own gateway from their compatibility list and I'll try to get one with no built in WiFi just in case they can...

Hi all, Thanks everyone for the responses. I think getting my own gateway, new or used, will likely be the only way. Like I said the Xfinity hotspot doesn't seem to interfere with my home network since virtually all my devices are on 5 GHz and on channels 36 or 40, whereas the Xfinity hotspot...

Hi, I've had a Comcast/Xfinity plan for about 6 years now as it's our only option in my older neighbourhood for high speed access. I can try 5G connections with T-mobile now. Frontier has only offered DSL up to 30 Mb/s. Ziply is not here. As bad as customer service has been the 3-4 times...

Hi, I can only add my experience. The 5900X I bought in late Dec 2020 did appear to be faulty and I had to send it back. The Ryzen 9 5950X that I bought in late Jan 2021 worked fine out of the box. I may have also had a faulty X570 Tomahawk though with the MB I can't say I couldn't have...

HI, and one final post, Just for closure, I want to say "yes" a X570 MB can run the Crucial Ballistix memory in post #2 (though non-RGB version) above at the rated speed & timings by just using the XMP profile and no other tweaking. I was surprised as I thought it may only run at 3200 MHz or...

Wow thesmokingman, That was a very helpful post! I'll keep it in mind and see if I can get 3200. If so, I can later try to see if I an raise it slowly without loosening timings too much. To learners permit, I ultimately bought the MSI X570 Tomahawk as it was in stock on Newegg last weekend...

Hi thesmokingman, So you think the memory won't run at rated speed? In the past I've had good luck with Crucial/Micron memory. However, I admit it has been a LONG time since I had an AMD system, with the last one the old Athlon X2s. In general I guess I've never had to worry about memory...

Hi, Well I hope so. I ordered the Crucial Ballistix kit on the weekend directly from Crucial since they had it in stock. I just received a tracking # out of Brownsville TX a couple of hours ago. My motherboard shipped out today from Newegg but the power supply is still processing from...

Hi again (and Happy new year!), Unbelievably the 5900X that I somehow managed to snag on 12/24/2020 showed up on my door today, thanks to DPI. It wasn't supposed to be here until around Feb 21, 2021 but I received an updated shipping notice from Amazon today and found it on my doorstep...

Hi again (and now Merry Christmas!), I finally ordered a 5900X today through Amazon though expected shipping isn't until the 3rd week of Feb 2021. I am still not sure which memory kit to buy, though I now have a 3rd option. I've been reading a lot of MB reviews over the last 4 weeks and I've...

Hi all (and Happy Thanksgiving!), Without getting into a 32 GB vs 64 GB argument, which of the following kits would you use for Ryzen 3 with a X570 based board (knowing that everyone would rather choose Samsung B-die): Model F4-3600C16Q-64GVKC (4x16 GB kit, Timings 16-19-19-39, Voltage 1.35V)...

Muz_J, Thanks! I used the links, but unfortunately the links to software or instructions from "turboduck.net" were outdated and no longer available. However, the link to the new Universal launcher (2017 or so) did work! As it turned out I had a previous version of Universal launcher but that...

Hi, I think I will give up. I've tried everything I could but unless I put in an admin PW when the launcher starts, I can't get the game to run no matter what type of automated shortcut I tried. Perhaps this would work on an enterprise version of Win 10, but the 2 main methods that I listed in...

Hi Pendragon1, I did try that but again it asks for the admin password when I try to run launcher. Maverick, those were the instructions I have tried so far. But I was using my credentials as a local admin to try it. I did not use the built in Administrator account from Windows. Tonight...

Hi, I have a laptop with Win 10 Home, build 1903. I have two parent admin accounts and 1 regular account for my son. Normally I install a game that he wants to play, setup a short cut in his account and he can play it fine. He currently plays Asseto Corsa and Grid2 fine. Recently I...
