    Oh I did, I've had mine for over a week now and am very happy with the upgrade.

    I found the setting in my BIOS that let me run the CPU at stock speeds. For my Aorus B450m I located the settings I was looking for under M.I.T. >>> Advanced Frequency Settings >>> Advanced CPU Settings >>> Core Performance Boost which I set to disabled. My 5900XT can run at 3.3GHz all day long...

    Nintendo Switch 2 arrives June 5th, 2025

    Walmart has been pricing their pre-orders for physical games at the same prices Nintendo announced a month ago when they announced digital prices for a copy of Yoshi. So for example, you can grab Star Fox for for $49.99 physically from Walmart. It looks like Amazon has been price matching as...

    Amazon must have a lot of these and they want to clear out some stock. Not sure how many would be making a big jump like I did but so far I'm am very happy with my purchase. I just wish RAM prices weren't so ridiculous.

    Thank you both for the replies. So update. Temps are stable. Still higher than expect but still within the limits before throttling. Turns out in my haste I mounted one of the heatsink fans in a way that caused the blades to clip with what I believe were the fins of the heatsink. I thought I had...

    Mine arrived today and after doing some BIOS updates it works but its a toasty little guy. Always boosts to 4.10+GHz and doesn't go to stock 3.3GHz speeds. Tried running Prime95 for an hour and it thermal throttled down to ~2.16GHz during testing. Running my rig on an Aorus B450M on BIOS rev. 67...

    5900xt $260 @amazon

    My PC is a mix of things these days. Streaming, gaming and even a little video editing to upload my streams to YouTube. Since I have some Amazon GC money left I could snag this for around $135. I've been researching this since last night and watched on YouTube that Hardware Unboxed recommend the...

    Man going from a 1700x to this would be big. Might have to bite one this.

    Anyone else not buy a new GPU in almost a decade, only used?

    Last card I bought new was an HD7850, My RX580 I got used back in 2019. Looking to go Nvidia but the 2060s I was interested in are going for $150+. Doesn't help that you got to comb each listing just to make sure the thing works. $80+ some people want for a busted video card. Like bro you are...

    Which one of these cards would be best for streaming with OBS? I current own a gen1 Ryzen 1700x and my RX580 isn't doing so well encoding my stream. I recently had a chance to test a PNY 1660 super in a customers PC I was working on and was able to crank out a very high quality 1080P stream...
