Use a different rig and return that one.

    I would like to play Starfield

    I would wait for it to go on sale. $70 for a FO4 reskin is what I am seeing from reviews. Mods and DLCs will maybe make it better, remains to be seen.

    13600K HDMI audio?

    Just swap the outputs on the GPU, DP to TV with adapter, HDMI to AVR. Disable iGPU in BIOS.

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    At some point, critical thinking was removed from the education systems. If you don't develop that skill early, you lack problem solving ability. Education became memorization and multiple choice testing, essentially indoctrination. Humans became programmed biological robots, just following...

    new 7700x/6700xt build sucking too many watts

    The 80+ ratings exist for a reason. They are supposed to be tested and confirmed by the manufacturer before certification. They most certainly CAN be used to compare units, provided there is no deception by the tester. The 80+ certification is standardized within a set of parameters, if you test...

    Gigabyte's response to poorly made GPUs is informative and unfortunate

    If you have a card with a large cooler, you should be using a support mechanism regardless of manufacturer.

    new 7700x/6700xt build sucking too many watts

    But the testing is not meaningless. In the same scenario, if you replace a bronze rated unit with a gold, the gold will have higher efficiency. Same as if you replace a 12900K with a 13900K. You bench numbers may not equal a reviewer's numbers, but you will see a similar increase percentile over...

    new 7700x/6700xt build sucking too many watts

    Gigabyte's response to poorly made GPUs is informative and unfortunate

    It is likely these are mostly related to shipping damage, or moving the system around roughly, combined with a slightly less robust design with the mounting hole near the edge of the lock area. It's not just Gigabyte that is having the issue, even some FE cards are showing up with some frequency...

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    It's the same in every media space. Just look at mainstream news and Hollywood. Quality and accuracy, sacrificed for quantity and being first to air.

    I stopped watching LTT content years ago. They just started spewing out crap to get content up, and it showed.

    Disable the Sysmain service, formally known as Superfetch.
