    Forgive me father, for I have moved to team green

    Very fair point... It can become a slippery slope if one doesn't have the discipline.. to not buy GPU year after year.. chasing that unicorn.... You mention years for the "investment" to pay off... realistically... with these two class of GPU's. it is most likely 10+ years 🤣

    Forgive me father, for I have moved to team green

    Yes! lol Ballsy.. I know... not ballsy enough to share this on Reddit though.. 🤣 Yes, when I previously had my 5800x.. I ran it with customized PPT/TDP/EDC settings (around 95w)... it was a beast of a CPU.. too much for my use case though.. and I wanted to tinker with a 5600 :) This is...

    Forgive me father, for I have moved to team green

    Well... I didn't mention what my current GPU was (as of yet) LMAO... 6750 XT... hence mentioning it is close to a "side-grade"... but trying to cut down power usage .. heat.. etc... even if just a little... Already downgraded from a 5800X to 5600 recently... 6750 XT is really a smoking, hot...

    Forgive me father, for I have moved to team green

    Most likely does not fit the [H] profile.... but I fell pray to "wanting" a new GPU and the never ending search for price/performance/energy GPU Probably falls into close to being a "side-grade".. but as they say.. "it's your money... do whatever" Last Nvidia GPU was a GTX 950.... so it's...

    How big the CPU bottleneck with i5-8600k (6 cores) and 6750 XT or 6800?

    6800 over the 6750 XT They both have same PSU requirements... The 6800 gives you the performance increase over the 6750 XT, at surprisingly less power draw ..and runs cooler.. 6750 XT is a jacked up 6700...and are known to get feisty and hot.

    Cooler Master 1250W PSU $135

    Using Newegg's site.. and filtering by "Modular = No or Non-Modular" and "Sold By Newegg"... there is only 1 page.. So... definitely slim pickings in that department..

    Microsoft could join the handheld party — with the next generation of consoles

    I could see an Xbox handheld... stealing some of the ideas of the Switch (i mean.. that is MS's playbook right :ROFLMAO: ) ... have it where you can dock it and connect to TV... Then.. scrap the Xbox "S".. and only release Xbox "X's" for the pure console version

    Im stumped at what way to go ....

    I know I'm in a small minority.. but Hyper-V is great and you can make your environment easy with it.. and easy to manage... or you can use Hyper-V in more complex environments and it will still get the job done.

    5800x power draw and max temps

    When I had my 5800x, I had good results with curve optimizer and custom PPT/EDC/TDC settings. I set mine to what the numbers would be set if it was a 95W CPU (PPT is 129w on AM4 with a 95W cpu in its socket). You could go the easy route and set your motherboard to run the CPU in "Eco Mode"...

    AMD Ryzen 8000G Processors Launched for the AI PC Era + 5 series updates

    5700X3D @ $249... but what will it really be priced at... 5700 is odd to be "released" now... This was an OEM chip a while back.. This is just the crippled down 5700g without the iGPU and with half the cache... and PCIe Gen 3.. no Gen 4...

    Best budget B550 MB for strictly gaming w/5000 series

    OP mentions " fully capable and not restrict some minor OC'ing"... I'd avoid that board then as that board doesn't have any sort of PBO, based on some of the reviews posted... (its really a Pro 565 chipset.... definitely deceiving with B550 in the naming)

    Windows 7/8 Product Key to install Windows 10 workaround - possibly no longer

    Better to keep the $20 in your pocket if you are going to flirt with a key that most likely isn't legit anyway... at that rate... just use the M A S S G R A V E script and sail the high seas

    Looks like to me FrozenCPU is still in business, but under new ownership possibly?? Seems like they've had multiple "going out of business" sales in recent years.
