Same... until two of the family EcoTanks developed bad print heads and feeder gears and I was quoted over $100 each for replacements.
Then we gave up and went to Brother laser printers... not a failure since (5 years+)
I've never had any problems with an ASRock board... I currently have the X670 Taichi Carrera and love it. ASRock was the first OEM to release an updated BIOS for this too.
When I had a driver problem with my older Velocita board, their CS was very proactive and even emailed me some...
Sitting out this round of cpu/mb upgrades, but could be after a better gpu if prices continue to improve.
Having double the M.2 slots is a nice feature though.
Any motherboards in white this cycle?
/5800X3D - ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero X570 - Sapphire Nitro+ 6600XT
Couldn't care less about Ray Tracing... I don't play a single game that even supports it.
Hopefully, I won't have to buy a new GPU until after the next product cycle late this year.
/6600XT works just fine for 1440p gaming
I've already got a ghost image of my boot drive, but will update it.
The CTD issue is weird and has been happening on/off for several years. Never while gaming or running any productivity app - only happens 1-2 times a month when playing a YT video... best guess is that my 6600XT runs out of...
My Win10 system for work/play (Ryzen 5900/32gb) is now pushing me with nags to install the Win11 update...
Gaming performance in W11 is about identical to W10? I suppose MS Office performance is same.
How is memory handling? I sometimes get CTD's when playing YouTube videos
Every two years or so, when I do upgrades, I'll say to myself 'time to build a W/C'... and then I look at build prices, gasp... just lazy out and put in a good AIO
/has Lian Li Galahad 360 - replaced the crap LL fans and went 6-fan push-pull and get silly low temps on my 5900X
/14 fans total :p...
So.... when is John Romero going to get around to 'making me his bitch'?
/Dakatana was a real POS
//Romero + Carmack(s)=genius - but they were crap solo
I think wokeness ought to be this generation's Godwin Law... the first poster crying racism, sexism, ****ism, equity, etc (and anyone dredging up Gamergate) automatically loses the thread and must stand in a corner with a dunce cap on
