    As I get older, I seem to get more nauseous when playing games

    I'm 44 now and I get nauseous if I'm sleep deprived mostly in first person shooters. Mirror's Edge also gave me motion sickness many years ago...

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    I have the original games on 360 and never got around to playing it but better late than never. The graphics brings back old memories and sense of nostalgia. I love a good co-op campaign!

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Environments, lighting and shadows look phenomenal but I was pretty disappointed with the character models. Some of the NPCs walking the streets look pretty terrible while other main character NPCs look great. I levelled up my hacking abilities which I kind of regretted as all my fights became...

    X670e Code C5 and 46 on Restart

    I know this was recommended for those experiencing long boot times but not for my specific issue with restarts and memory speed going back to default. I used the memory context restore when trying to troubleshoot but it didn't resolve my issue until I enabled "power down enable" with it.

    Asus X670E-E BIOS 1003

    Updated to latest bios which didn't resolve my issue (only happens on restart where the PC turns off and back on and memory speeds go back to default). Note: memory is on QVL list and seated on the proper slots on the MB. I even bought another memory kit and same problem. There's a number of...

    Nice and super clean! I have the Haf-X too and still in use today. I replaced the stock side panel w/ one from the 932 which had the acrylic window. Haf-X keeps everything nice and cool but needs to be dusted regularly. I have fan controller so typically turn off the twoX200mm fans at the top...

    Damn dual socket cpu in quad sli is ridiculous... this must have costed a small fortune even for 2012. I think PC building has become a lot more tamer in recent years. No SLI and I can't recall seeing any recent consumer grade motherboards that support dual socket cpus

    Asus X670E-E BIOS 1003

    Update: system is stable when in Windows no BSODs and never had issues when turning off the PC and later back on. Issues arise whenever I "restart" my PC as the PC will sometimes turn off and then back on and then run the memory at the default 4800MHz instead DOCP settings. When I go back into...

    Asus X670E-E BIOS 1003

    I spoke too soon. DOCP Profile does not appear to be working for me anymore. When I restart Windows the PC will "sometimes" turn off and then turn back on (not normal for the PC to turn off and on when restarting Windows 11). When I boot into Windows, the memory goes back to the stock speed of...

    X670e Code C5 and 46 on Restart

    I was thinking the same thing as well since this only happens the "PC turns off" when I restart Windows. It isn't normal behaviour for my PC to turn off when restarting Windows. If the PC doesn't turn off on Windows restart, I know I'm good and the DOCP profile is working. The PC isn't...

    Just the ram... when this happens the pc actually turns off and then back on again. Sometimes the ram speed wont reset to default speed on restart and in those instances the pc stays on during windows res Yes I updated to lastest bios. Was happening on previous bios as well.

    For some reason my when I restart Windows 11, my memory speeds go back to the default speed of 4800MHz. It's rated to run at 5600Mhz on the MB QVL list and was running fine until recently. Normally when I restart Windows, it will restart without turning off but lately it turns off and then...

    Asus X670E-E BIOS 1003

    Weird, I never got that warning when I updated to 2007. I can attest that 2007 appears to be stable and not experiencing any instability. Early on it was a challenge getting my memory running at the rated speed but it appears that Asus has got their act together.

    Seeking input on adding a 16 port Sata expansion card

    Thanks guys! This was helpful. I was thinking of using it to add hard drives for storage as my older hard drives fill up. In all honestly, I don't need 20 hard drives in a PC but thought it would be a way to future proof and just keep adding hard drives. I'm on the fence of whether its worth...

    Seeking input on adding a 16 port Sata expansion card

    Forgive my lack of knowledge but based on the description the card supports 6Gbps transfer speeds. Where are you getting 500MB/s? Is it because the limited bandwidth from the PCI lane? With my two GTX 670s installed I believe I would be using 32 (16x2) out of the available 38 lanes on my...

    AI Accelerator Cards in Desktops?

    I may be overly cynical but I think AI will displace alot of white collar jobs just like automation displaced alot of blue collar jobs.

    I stopped overclocking as well. I had overclocked my FX-8350 and 6700K for several years w/ after market cooling. I even P95 tested the overclock for hours to ensure it was stable but after so many years they became unstable and now they run at stock. I had an older FX-8350 which died on me...

    If I recall correctly, I overclocked both 470s in SLI (with stock cooling) by around 130MHz... One of the 470s died when I was playing Far Cry 3. I remember the fans were running super loud so I had to turn the volume up on the game and had a feeling the cards were being pushed a bit too...

    Yeah the microstutter was annoying in some games I remember disabling SLI in some cases it was too much... But to your point, when it worked and was optimized it was awesome! I think alot of us stopped running SLI after the 1000 series as there was a clear lack of SLI support in the newer games...
