Issues like this are why my latest build used an MSI board after 20 years of using ASUS boards exclusively. I'm quite happy with it and I wont be buying ASUS products until they ACTUALLY get their shit together. Yes, I know MSI isn't perfect either, but ASUS has really been off the rails...

I really appreciate this!

The equivalent Z790 is 200 more :-(

1080/60 I'm a simple man. May upgrade to 1440 at some point but I'm not in a rush. I know it's complete overkill for 1080 but I cant see spending money on, say, a 7700 when it doesn't save me that much and I may want to go 1440 at some point.

The equivalent Z790 board is 200 more .....thats why I went with 690. I'm not going to be butthurt if I can only clock to 5600, it wouldn't hurt my performance much would it? Rather clock down to 5600 than piss the wife off lol or to cut a corner somewhere else. The 13700k was 300 bucks from a...

Really appreciate any feedback. May go with the 011 dynamic, may go with the H9 Flow. Not 100 percent on the memory, considering Kingston Fury. Not 100 percent on the NVME either but I've about reached maximum wife-approved budget lol Already have the 13700k bought from an [H]'er...

Sorry. Just saw this. I appreciate it, I think I'm going with a Z690 carbon.

Really appreciate you taking the time!! Thanks!

I'm thinking the Z690 carbon. MSI seems to be the way to go at the moment and it has everything I'm looking for. I really appreciate it!

Also...I do like having an LED debug display which seems basically impossible to find on any mid range board for Z790 but seems to be attainable on 690.

Yes, blacked out with some subtle RGB or none at all. Sleek. Honesty at the end of the day I will barely see the motherboard so I'm being too uptight about it. But one of the Tomahawk boards I was looking at had yellow trim which I felt was ugly (one of the Asus boards has orange, too which I...

I really appreciate you taking the time to share your input. The entire reason for Z790 is because I dont have a spare LGA1700 cpu. So if happen to get a Z690 board without an updated bios already I dont want to be screwed. I've never built a rig having to be concerned about current bios...

I'm a little pissed at ASUS but I've always loved their boards. My daily is an ancient Maximus Hero. I'm looking to get a good board without spending 500 bucks. The Hero is now obnoxiously expensive and I'm just not spending that much. MSI boards are, sorry, ugly unless I'm looking in the above...

Bump for looking. If I dont get any bites on the thread I just posted I'll probably snag the 1070.

Building a system for my kid. Looking for the best GPU I can get for somewhere around $110. Will be paid via PayPal, shipping would be to 15207. Don't mind going up a few bucks for a boost in performance. Im not picky about AMD or Nvidia. If nobody has anything I'll likely bite on the 1070 I...

This is going to sound ridiculous but my mom wants to buy the laptop and Im trying to work her through how to do it. PM incoming.

Thanks for pointing this out. I play both of those titles (C:S and Planet Coaster) frequently, planet coaster less so because of the FPS limitations I inevitably hit. Granted, Im on an old rig, but I would really like an idea of how much bigger I can make a park with one CPU vs. another. I...

My R9 290 Vapor X is on its way out, I NEED the PC for courses I am taking while unemployed and can't spend a ton. Want to replace it with a similar card from team red. Anyone have anything available? I dont want to step down in performance, a slight step up if still affordable would be awesome...

And this is why Uthgard is awesome. No ToA. Classic hardcore mode. Exactly as I loved it. Im leveling a Pally now and working on my weaponcrafting. I missed it. And theres a good solid community if players. DF changes hands a lot. Plenty of xp groups. It really is like going back in time.

Im playing Alb. Always always always an Alb at heart.

Yeah ... its old ... but still the best game Ive ever played. And the Uthgard server is right before ToA....the classic DAoC that I loved.

Ive gone back to my first true love. Anyone else playing ... or interested in joining?

These will sell before I get my tax return or Id buy immediately. But I have to ask ... is the lighted logo on the side RGB or is it always a set color? Free bump for ya.

Did. But its BS i cant use new drivers. And I still get a green screen on resuming use sometimes. Done with this crap. So Im blowing it out mining with it and Ill buy a new Nvidia when Ive made enough.

If you cant beat em ... join em. Im officially a miner. I dont make enough money to not try and make extra where I can. Zcash seems like I could do OK.

So Ive decided Im a moron not to at least try to make some money on crypto since I cant upgrade my gpu like I want to due to no availablity. I mined BTC many years ago and got out too soon. Shoulda held on and Id have had about a quarter mil. Started screwing around with zcash and it seems...

Ive been looking. I really, really, really want the FTW edition. That green light on the stock EVGAs will look terrible in my case. But so be it if that's what I have to get.

Serious question - did your colors or display look different. More muted, less sharp, anything? Thats my biggest concern going back to team green. Maybe its in my head but Ive always felt like AMD looked better.

True true. I mined BTC waaaay back. Had I held on I woulda had maybe a quarter mil. Ugh.

What are you mining with? Just your 1080??? I screwed around with Zcash but from what I can see Ill be lucky to make 3 dollars a day.

If m not mistaken .... nicehash mines the most profotabke and pays in bitcoin. Is there a tutorial to set it up?

I dont think its my card but who knows. Not sure how to tell for sure. Event viewer shows me the AMD driver crashed when it happens and Ii know it was a common issue. Either way Im tired of it. But as Im thinking about it .....Im going to blow the shit out of it mining and see wjat I can make.

R9 290 Vapor X. Faster than standard 290. Not quite 290x.

Screw it. Ill just mine with my 290 and make some money.

Its a pain to find sold on my phone ... but im seeing plenty of 290s with bids up to 300....at which I still break even on what I paid for it lol.

Ive got an R9 290 Vapor x. Seeing asking prices of 599 for them. Hence the thread.

Tired of driver issues. I updated to the latest drivers when they came out a week or 2 ago and it blackscreened. I get driver crashes every week or 2 and get the green screen here and there. Tired of it. Card itself is fine but these drivers ate awful. Havent had issues like this in years and...

Im looking at doing just that. If Im gonna pay over MSRP for anythung else I may as well spend a little extra and get the 1080ti for not much more.
