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.

For Sale: EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Black Gaming - sold Selling my brother's old RTX 3070 for him. Comes in retail box. The hardest work it has seen has been League of Legends. I upgraded him to a 4070, so he doesn't need this one. Heatware - kirbyrj - 434-0-0 Paypal F&F - [email protected]

You've NEVER played any of these?

Static discharge? You might have moved the motherboard slightly and it is shorting out in the case now. Take the motherboard out and try it on a box or something.

Are you sure? The 8 is somewhat smaller than the 7. Based on leaked specs (grain of salt), the 8a is actually slightly larger than the 8.

Next thing you know we'll have a click-baity article remembering AMD's first "APU" because while previous CPUs had integrated graphics, AMD had the first Accelerated Processing Unit.

I haven't noticed any difference. I am also on a single CCD CPU though. My understanding is a lot of the micro stutter comes from the minor latency in the interconnect between dies. The only issue I had was that XMP was hit and miss. It would generally work if I manually inputted the timings...

Arguably a better "deal" was the 12700KF for $199 recently if you want to play the previous generation game. If you're going to buy right now, it doesn't make sense to go with Intel as the socket is dead end and the CPUs that have been released for it are power hungry on the high end. If you...

Intel has never been shy about pricing when they think they can charge more. I'm guessing good boards in the $300+ range and their high end CPUs are $600+. i7 equivalents in the $400 range. This is assuming they are comparable to whatever AMD releases next.

If you're going to let Gigabyte do your drivers anyway, you can always just let their GCC program get them for you. Sometimes they are newer than the ones on the website. Also, you can always just go to the manufacturer page to get drivers. I had the Intel support software that would download...

I already had the Outer Worlds from a different giveaway, but I grabbed Thief. Thanks!

I have a similar setup right now except with the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX board. I have had no stability issues. The boot times are only longer on first boot and after you change memory timings in bios. The day to day bootup cycle isn't long at all.

I mean, in fairness, if I could figure out a way to consult on farming digital currencies instead of going to work every day, I'd probably do it at this point. Not going to Chinese prison though.

I haven't felt bad for Chinese gamers ever.

Bump. I PMed you about the CPU.

Putting together a build and looking to buy some more memory. Ideally looking for something that I can just set EXPO settings and go with an AMD 7900x since it's not going to be my personal machine, and I don't want to play around at tech support over the phone entering timings. Doesn't have...

Evening bump

For Sale: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6600 CL32 RAM 2x16GB - SOLD Supposedly more designed for Intel setups, but it worked fine for me with both my Ryzen 7700x and 7800X3D. Has SK Hynix chips, but unsure which die. Model number is CMK32GX5M2X6600C32 ver. 5.43.13. Timings are 32-39-39-76 at 1.40V...

Thanks I'll give it a look.

No, they would have never mass bought 7950x's to begin with, so there are no mass quantities of used 7950x's to wait for.

I'll have to look into this more. Thanks for the insight. Yes, I'm on the newest beta. Something like F22b on this board.

No it isn't. It's not hard to be more profitable than a 3060Ti setup currently. Even with crypto near ATH's, GPU mining is making pennies a day at best and would never meet a ROI. You might have some people with cards left over from the end of ETH mining turning them back on to see what's out...

I don't get it. I'll just have to remember the timings off the top of my head when it comes time to update the bios. If I get time to play around, I'm going to enable XMP and then set it to 4800 and see if it will boot. I just find it strange that simply enabling XMP causes it not to boot...

After the first few times it wouldn't boot, I unmounted everything and checked. Running it with an AIO. The paste was even and there were no bent pins. I almost swapped in the old CPU just to check it, but I'm in the process of selling it and I didn't want to unpack it.

I've been using a Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX for the past several months with a 7700x. I have a set of Corsair DDR5 6600 (2x16GB, SK Hynix). I don't have the box for it in front of me, but I'd bet it's regular XMP Intel stuff (non-EXPO). I historically would set XMP settings in BIOS...

This is a blip on the radar. If you've followed crypto mining on CPU for any length of time, it's profitable for 2-3 weeks and then the shitcoin goes away. The only really stable CPU minable coin, XMR, isn't generally CPU profitable. We had this same doom and gloom scenario when Raptoreum was...
