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.

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.
