They're always seems to be some kind of issue where they want you to install the OS from scratch. If you're not getting a new motherboard every two years with little to no performance gain and adding to the e-waste avalanche you may be able to get by without reinstalling your OS. If one specific...

The system before this was kept like 8 years. It's a waste to buy one every 2 years. Yes, no issues with an MB less than 2 years old MB. It's not just the quality its getting the options you want. You should not need to buy a $600 MB to get a sound or even an post code LED but that is were we...

Updated Prices and Corsair AX1500i Titanium PSU.

I do think it's the card but it only happens while gaming a randomly. Always when in the menus so the card is ramping down. It never happens for more than a second. My RTX3080 never did it. I really don't want to mess with an RMA but it's tempting. They seem to know it's an issue or the maximum...

They had a firmware update for the RTX4090 for some kind of black screen on boot and I still get them randomly only while gaming. Setting the Nvidia power management mode to prefer maximum performance seems to have helped but should you need to change a power setting for your $2000 video card to...

Added SSDs

New items.

Nothing's perfect, but for the money and the fact that it's been many years where on board PC audio hasn't really changed in any significant ways, I would hope you wouldn't have hum, buzz or pops when using it. My motherboard from 3 years ago didn't do that and the one from 9 years ago didn't do...

They did send me a new one. It was fast once they agreed to do it. Now I need to sell it, I wonder if it best to open it and test it while I still have a AM4 MB or jest sell it boxed?

There is always a workaround, but it is not as satisfactory as receiving the product or feature you paid for. It is more convenient to have it built-in without sacrificing a PCI slot, a USB port, or dealing with the hassle of running wires. By now, onboard sound solutions should have been...

I care about sound quality I can actually hear. Not into $1000 audio cables or DACs and such. If they sound different its mostly from added processing or a tweeked EQ. Like the Logitech setup I have now where the lowest subwoofer volume is still too high. I tried a Sound Blaster X4 and it even...

I don't think the lemon law comes into play even though they spent 2 months trying to fix things and made it worse. They're always super nice about it and I know I'll get the check eventually, but everyone's so comfortable wasting everybody else's time because they're so disorganized.

It's always the same kind of nonsense. Want to buy something? There's thousands of operators standing by. Need a couple of minutes of our global gold standard support team? Can you wait on hold for 30 minutes to an hour? Screw that, we're only email support now. We might get back to you in...

I went ahead and sent another pic but I don't see how asking for the same thing I've already sent is weeding out any scammers. If they get a fake CPU or something else, they can just deny the claim/RMA.

I sent in an RMA request with pictures and I just got an email requesting more pictures. First they say I didn't send them a picture. Then they say the picture of the CPU needs to be of the CPU mounted on the motherboard, which it was, and all the lettering needs to be clear, which it was. Then...
