I've never had that problem trading things in with Google. Take a few pictures before you send it in with the IMEI number displayed.

I would probably go so far as to say the 4070S is the ONLY Super worth the price premium over the non-super model. The 4070Ti Super is a better card with the 256-bit VRAM bus and more VRAM, but the difference is generally within 10% of the non-super even with the upgrades.

My wife hasn't complained about her P7 yet, so I guess I haven't been bitten :D.

The only post I saw about the next gen chipsets sounded like they were staying with 2 "glued" chipsets and adding a 3rd controller for USB 4.0 support. Not ideal obviously. Hopefully, that changes before release.

I would generally agree. The 7700x is really a budget gaming champ if you need more than 6 cores. I've seen them used in FS/FT for sub-$200 for those without a MC nearby. It boosts slightly higher than a 7800X3D also. Anecdotally, the 7700x I used was more memory compatibility friendly than...

For anyone wondering, the biggest difference between the board revisions is the wifi module. 1.0 - AMD Wi-Fi 6E RZ616 (Mediatek) 1.1 - Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 1.2/1.3 - Realtek® Wi-Fi 6E RTL8852CE I had a 1.0 version of this board and it worked great when I had it. If I needed another board...

I'd leave the CPU installed, put the motherboard in the anti-static bag and then just wrap the board in bubble wrap if you don't have the original box for it. I've sent boards out like that and have never had issues. Generally, I don't take any chances with the CPU pins, so the CPU installed...

Is it in the latest Asus driver update? I installed it, but I don't have any old benchmark data to compare it to. I haven't played around with using the AMD driver instead of the Asus one.

Unfortunately, stories like this are the reason why I ultimately just ended up buying a Samsung s23 (and then traded it in on the s24). I miss the pixel experience, but I gain a significantly better battery and better connectivity.

Especially this close to the end of the lifecycle of these cards.

Did you end up replacing them? My biggest complaint is the dead zone on the right thumbstick. I wonder if these would help.

No trades for a guy with "Trader" in his username lol. Just messing with you...GLWS!

That's funny because I went the opposite way. I had the Gigabyte mATX and moved to the mortar. The MSI board definitely takes longer to boot but I will have to play around with that setting linked earlier

That's interesting because I just switched to an MSI board and noticed that the boot time was longer than expected coming from a Gigabyte board. I didn't realize they had an issue. I'll have to try that memory context restore setting.

Bump I looked.
