    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    No, they would have never mass bought 7950x's to begin with, so there are no mass quantities of used 7950x's to wait for.

    CPU swap creates memory issues Gigabyte AM5 B650

    I'll have to look into this more. Thanks for the insight. Yes, I'm on the newest beta. Something like F22b on this board.

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    No it isn't. It's not hard to be more profitable than a 3060Ti setup currently. Even with crypto near ATH's, GPU mining is making pennies a day at best and would never meet a ROI. You might have some people with cards left over from the end of ETH mining turning them back on to see what's out...

    CPU swap creates memory issues Gigabyte AM5 B650

    I don't get it. I'll just have to remember the timings off the top of my head when it comes time to update the bios. If I get time to play around, I'm going to enable XMP and then set it to 4800 and see if it will boot. I just find it strange that simply enabling XMP causes it not to boot...

    CPU swap creates memory issues Gigabyte AM5 B650

    After the first few times it wouldn't boot, I unmounted everything and checked. Running it with an AIO. The paste was even and there were no bent pins. I almost swapped in the old CPU just to check it, but I'm in the process of selling it and I didn't want to unpack it.

    CPU swap creates memory issues Gigabyte AM5 B650

    I've been using a Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX for the past several months with a 7700x. I have a set of Corsair DDR5 6600 (2x16GB, SK Hynix). I don't have the box for it in front of me, but I'd bet it's regular XMP Intel stuff (non-EXPO). I historically would set XMP settings in BIOS...

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    This is a blip on the radar. If you've followed crypto mining on CPU for any length of time, it's profitable for 2-3 weeks and then the shitcoin goes away. The only really stable CPU minable coin, XMR, isn't generally CPU profitable. We had this same doom and gloom scenario when Raptoreum was...

    Anyone still rocking an Asus Crosshair VII Hero?

    They aren't bad boards. I don't think it's worth paying a premium for them though. I have a cheap ass Gigabyte B450 board from the same era that works just as flawlessly as the X470 Hero I have also. There is nothing inherently special about them.

    Who's using Karhu RAM test software?

    Windows based, I'd just use testmem5. Seems to do a good job.

    Opinions on MSI MAG X670e Tomahawk wifi

    I haven't had a bad experience with any of the 3 or 4 Tomahawk series boards I've used lately. I wouldn't hesitate to try it if I were in the market for a X670E board.

    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    Believing reddit is almost as bad as listening to Newegg reviews back in the day. I estimate that only 1 in 5 users there has a brain.

    Nvidia would like to do a premium gaming handheld

    I would almost guarantee that they are going to be android-based because they are on arm and it's easier to just use Android especially since they have been doing it for years with the shield line.

    Nvidia would like to do a premium gaming handheld

    A GPD Win4 is already ~$1300, so there is a market for higher end parts somewhere.

    Nvidia would like to do a premium gaming handheld

    They have all the fun because they realize that most people aren't going to spend $1000+ on a handheld like the leather jacket mafia is going to want to charge.

    Grabbing a AMD Ryzen 5 7600x for cheap.

    I keep trying to justify moving from my 7700x to a 7800X3D, and I just can't pull the trigger. A 7600 is fine for most things.

    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    The thing is, it's not like Samsung has any special insight or anything about making phones other than a top notch screen. A pixel phone using the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 or Gen3 would be an instant buy for me. It's just that Google is throwing out a half baked SoC and modem which kills their...

    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    My only beef with the new OneUI is that I can't have a vertical app drawer, which I used to have on OneUI 5.1. Other than that, almost everything on OneUI is customizable once you dive into the Good Lock features. But the S24 (the small one) is a fantastic phone. I have the battery protect...

    New NVIDIA control panel now in beta

    That's not encouraging seeing as Razer Synapse is single handedly the reason why I don't own any Razer products anymore.

    ROG Ally

    I just picked one up last week. So far I like it. It's definitely easier to configure due to my familiarity with Windows. I also have much better luck with this thing docked. No random display issues like I had with the steam deck and it's official dock. Realistically it could be a mini PC...

    FS: ROG Ally Z1 Extreme

    Bump. I just bought one from the forums over a Steam Deck. Very versatile. I paid more than this. This is a good deal.

    Prime95 / mprime and AVX-512?

    They do the same thing with the regular desktop CPUs (although you can set the AVX multiplier yourself with the K CPUs). The only issue is that I don't know if it is regularly advertised anywhere what it is.

    Pixel 8 / Pixel 8 Pro

    Just to follow-up on my cell phone journey, I picked up the s24, and it's everything that the Pixel lineup should have been. On my 2nd day and still have 33% battery left. I wish Google would just make the phone I want to buy.

    Far Cry 6

    I'm pro capitalist as much as the next guy, but it surely seems as if you are overstating your importance in the system. When four of the five largest companies by market cap are Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Amazon, they generally don't need YOU as much as you need one of them.

    Far Cry 6

    I've never seen a non-connect version. Everything I've seen linked back to the Ubisoft account.

    Far Cry 6

    And as time goes on there will be fewer and fewer games for you to try out. While in principle I agree with you, that's just not a realistic way to navigate 2024 and beyond. So you very well may die on that hill playing 15-year-old steam games.
