    Ryzen 5700X3D for $200

    What GPU you got?

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Yes, Hardware Unboxed/Techspot, use timings/sub-timings provided by Buildzoid. DDR5 6000 for Zen 4 and DDR5 7200, for Intel 13th and 14th gen. They also use a 4090. AMD used a 7900 XTX.

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Yes, they have. They compared a 12900k with DDR5 5200, to a 5800X3d with DDR4 3600 (JEDEC/stock speed is 3200). And then they compared a 12900k with DDR5 6000 to pre-production Zen 4 with DDR5 6400 (most Zen 4 have trouble being stable at 6400. especially before the big bios update for memory...

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Indeed. They have fudged things a bit, in the past. Like running their Intel numbers with JEDEC RAM settings for Intel stock speeds-----but, using faster than stock, for their own Ryzen numbers. That said, I'm pretty optimistic about Zen 5. The rumors and leaks have been touting some pretty...

    Microsoft blocks workaround that enabled users to create local accounts as part of the OOBE installer.

    even disabling Ethernet and wifi in the bios, doesn't allow you to move forward. You have to use the command prompt to bypass OOBE.

    Ryzen 5700X3D for $200

    Well, sure. GPU limited is GPU limited. If someone with an AM4 system wants to do a big GPU upgrade, a 5700X3D makes a lot of sense.

    Ryzen 5700X3D for $200

    Huh? In a lot of games, Zen3X3D's minimum frames are practically equivalent to Zen 3's average frames. 5700X3D is a pretty large increase in gaming performance, over a 5900x. Averaged over 10 games, Hardware unboxed has it "almost 20%" faster than a 5700x. And basically the same as a 7600x...

    Need advice on packing an open box motherboard for a friend

    They probably didn't realize that RAM only goes in one way. The divider isn't directly in the middle. And they tried to force it to go in. Pushing well beyond what should be reasonable. I would see if you can get another deal on another open box mobo, and see if they have the money to cover it...

    Phase Change Material (PCM)

    Thermal Grizzly has a PTM, now. https://www.techpowerup.com/323195/thermal-grizzly-showcases-wireview-pro-phasesheet-ptm-x-10-and-x-8-tims#g323195-3 Unclear if its an original formula, or if they are re-badging something from Honeywell. However, I would assume its original. Because Der8auer...

    The last game that gave you a lasting impression?

    Great choice. Disco looks and feels classic. But, under the hood, its a masterclass in game writing. Too bad the IP is now sunk in legal issues. Hopefully most of the team can re-form and make a spiritual successor. What a great choice. Subnautica is fantastic (with food and water survival...

    The last game that gave you a lasting impression?

    Its a few years old now. But, I only recently played Outer Wilds (not to be confused with Outer Worlds). https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds/ Its a really fantastic video game, which emphasizes being a videogame. You are meant to explore, try things out. There isn't a bunch of...
