So I'm not a laptop guy so keep that in mind. I got a decent deal on a new laptop. I was upgrading the ram in my new Inspiron 3520 (i3-1215u w/ 256 GB, M.2, PCIe NVMe) so I go to check my BIOS everything looks good and it says this thing is in RAID mode but not AHCI mode? Any idea why this would...
Well MSI is what I am on and I can say multiple sets of ram, multiple BIOS, and both a 3800X and a 5600X ran into problems. I really don't care for MSI but I hate Gigabyte more and Asus has been slipping or cost cutting recently. Epox and Abit I miss you so much :(

With as much value as AM4 had to offer it was one of the least enjoyable platforms I've used/tweaked in the last 20 years. Not the worst!!! Let me be clear far from the worst but I have never had a system with so many memory quirks. Even buying high end ram could be a unstable cause it was dual...
Which ones have quality VRM's and don't feel like thin garbage? I'm not opposed to checking out an Asrock board but I'm not sure which their better tier boards are in the upper lower to mid range.
I went from an RTX 2060 (had it for a few years) to an RX 6750 XT for I dunno 6 months before I reinstalled windows. I never did anything besides swapping cards and installing new drivers. I never had an issue. (only issue I had was from bunk ram).

So I've been using plex for over a decade since someone on here recommended me to simplify things and just a use a Roku with Plex which was super awesome advice. The streaming device may have changed but the server and PLEX stayed.
However.... I'm going to be updating my server in the near...
Sell it to one of those a-holes who's going to dump $500 into a "vintage" gaming machine that they'll use 3 times.
Edit, awkward... Just read OP's post didn't see the post I'd be posting under.
I came home and gf was freaking out everything was stuck all of a sudden a 57Mbps. So I went into router to see what was going on she started freaking out about no internet.
She couldn't rationalize in her anxiety ridden panic attack the internet is not out I'm just adjusting settings on the...
I have an i7 4770k in my media server, my primary rig I went to a 3800X, then a 5600X, if I was you I'd aim high since you don't upgrade too often and get the best CPU Intel or AMD that you can in whatever price range you got and buy during Black Friday / Cyber Monday. You waited this long I'd...
Well it's not like they are spending much in terms of R&D when they've been stuck on 10nm forever. Marketing, voltage, and more cores. Just shuffle the cores around and order some new boxes bam! The best technology of 2018 in 2023!!
