Are we all done with this thread? Anything more to say? I can't even carry Zarathustra[H] 's bags, but I think I can say with confidence that we aren't going to see new HEDT boards any time soon. I wish it was otherwise, but we all need to be...
The only board failure I remember having was due to a power surge. Seems like I've had it easy compared to a lot of other users. The only issues I've had with my X670E Taichi was needing to flash the BIOS and it will hang on memory training after...
I've purchased several Keychrons over the past 5+ years. Build quality always has been solid, but Bluetooth connectivity to PC was lousy. It's a common complaint with Keychron. Ironically, BT to Apple devices (MacBook, iPad Pro, iPhone) worked...
I'd gladly pay $199 for a Windows 11 Lite/Premium straight from MS that shipped with 90% less of the monetization stuff present on stock install (similar to LTSC), and with no arbitrary restrictions on what could be further opted out of or...
The old designs had terrible thermals and extremely loud 'revving" fans at idle. I can see why they did.
BTW Sparkle is just rebranded PowerColor for Intel.
A lot of the 3dfx voodoo5 6000s prototype ownership is well documented and tracked on lists via the serial number
Our own Kyle Bennett has a very early one that’s documented and listed...
Ha. You get hung up on because they get intimidated and don't want to sound like they have no clue what they are talking about since they don't. So the call "accidentally" drops. If you got a real tech person, even if they heard you say you use...
That's what I do when I have to get support for something (whenever possible). The last time I had to explain something at length I got hung up on and it had to go higher up the chain.
Probably nothing. It's their way of looking for an easy way out to close the ticket. "User states adapter is being used for gaming - not supported. Case closed."
You are 100% right in not giving all the info to commoner tech support. Let them...
It would be more accurate to say Asus tried to scam Gamers Nexus. Honestly for every GN there are probably 10 people that fell for this crap and ended up paying for unnecessary repairs.
Not surprised Aveum did poorly, especially with that budget. One look at the screenshots from TPU's performance review and skimming the conclusion was enough to put me off.
QC for Keychron seems poor from what I've seen posted. Red Dragon and similar I'd avoid altogether. Do you have anything in mind for switch type (clicky, linear, tactile)? What sort of functionality do you want, macros, programmable, extra keys...
