The online $20 keys are usually OEM unused keys that can only activated one time.

5800X3D is my favorite AMD CPU of all time. it's just "Great"

I'm hoping AMD can fix the issues with their next gen AM5 CPU's. I'm still rocking 5800X3D and pretty satisfied with the gaming performance.

The bass is noticably better on the Bifrost 2/64 over the modius that I had previously. There is more detail in the Bass and it seems to extend deeper more punch. I noticed with the Bifrost 2/64 I can hear reflections in a room and details in voices or strings plucking on a guitar. The sound is...

A good idea is to go on to ebay and see how many Bifrost 2/64 or Schiit products are being sold on there. There is not a lot and it's mostly their entry level or lower priced gear due to people upgrading.

I don't find it bright at all. I have used the following headphones. Sennhisers 6xx , Hifiman Edition XS , Hifiman Anada Nano using a balanced output on my Midgard amp. I'm now daily driving the Ananda Nano's which has a treble shelf in the upper regions and some say can be bright at times. I...

You only need to spend like 200 to 400$ depending if you want to run single ended or balanced headphones and be set. After that its just people looking for a specific sound signature that may result in spending more money on expensive gear. More expensive $$ doesn't mean its better. There is a...

I don't think you need to spend alot of money to get great sound out of your PC. I'd recommend separates USB DAC/Amp. Spend most of your money on the headphones and cable. Start at the low price end and move up from there so you know what you're listening to when you upgrade.

I can't tell a difference between the 1m vs 2m versions of the cable. FYI.

I paid $10 for monolith cable on amazon. Monolith USB Type B cable

I have not experienced anything like that with Bifrost 2/64 or the Modius I had before that.

Yes, I game with it. There are no latency issues. The Bifrost 2/64 uses schiit's own usb controller unison and it has like little to no jitter. The Bifrost 2/64 has isolation setup on it's usb port. I was using a $5 walmart usb cable and it sounded pretty good. I switched to a monolith cable...

Another company to look at for a DAC is Geshelli Labs J2 with Sparkos Op Amps https://geshelli.com/product/jnog2-socketed-j2s/. With the add-ons it comes out a little bit cheaper than the Bifrost 2/64. I prefer the aesthetics of Schiit's products and their USB implementation.

The Topping DX3 Pro+ is another good all-in-one option for $200. Not as good as seperates but small and portable.

yeah it does have click sound when it changes bitrate/sampling rates. It's barely noticeable. I find it helpful when listening in exclusive mode in Windows. I know it's playing the correct bit-rate and sample rate of the song I'm listening too. If you have headphones on you may not notice it...

Genelec makes some of the best studio monitor speakers. Can't really think of a better brand.

I have a Bifrost 2/64 and it's really good.Very realistic - life like sound. It's really good for the price. USB output is probably the best around.

I bought 2 pixel 8's and 1 Pixel 8 pro and nobody has complained about random reboot issues. The pixel 8 series fixed a lot of the problems with the pixel 6 an 7 with overheating and sluggish performance. The screen is much better and brighter which probably helps the fingerprint reader to be...

I really like the quality of the Offical Google Pixel 8 case. It's got a great feel in the hand and does seem to protect the phone as I have droped it once without scratching or breaking it.

it's the animations. The phone is not stuttering.

you shopped at the wrong store I got $450 for a pixel 7 and $300 for a Pixel 6a

Well let him use his cheap Chinese phone. The guy doesn't know that one of the main features of a pixel phone is that you can install graphene OS on it?

I upgraded from the Pixel 7 to the Pixel 8 and it feels like a bigger upgrade than when i went from pixel 6 to pixel 7 last year. I'd recommend it and if you can get the pre-order deals where you get either the watch or pixel buds pro. The pixel buds pro are really nice as well. I find them to...

i'm not saying throw your X570 motherboards out or anything. I'm was saying if I had to buy a new motherboard today i would perfer the X570S

X570S is a revised chipset. It consumes less power and produces less heat.

I would not get anything less than X570S motherboard

very nice

Yeah it's probably fine and will work. It's just some cards have better coolers on them.

I generally avoid gigabyte videocards. Zotac is not much better

would the 5600X3D be a good server chip ? Something that could be thrown in the a ASROCK Rack Motherboard?

They got a bunch parts they need to sell somehow

i think BF 2023 is gonna be pretty good this year

Diablo IV looks better in person than in videos.

Yeah that's what i'm saying. The 6950XT is a great card to get right now. Much more mature drivers.

your're probably waiting another 1 or 1-1/2 year for new stuff to come out. It might be better but it might suck. I feel like $500 is kinda high for a 6800XT like maybe you should grab a 6950XT for $600 ?

Yeah Gigabyte does the same thing with having stock high voltages on their motherboard. The difference though is that Gigabyte lately has had better QC and surface mounted components on their boards. I feel like Asrock is another company to maybe look at for future purchases as they seem to be...

5700X could be used in a low power ASROCK AM4 server board? They support ECC memory. Just an idea.

I think the case for the 4070ti would be really strong if it had 16gb of ram.

the red devil 6950XT is now $629 on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-Devil-Radeon-Graphics-Memory/dp/B09VYDTVGY

yeah, compared to my 6950XT with 2 4k 60hz & 1 1440P 165hz getting consistent 45w at idle desktop.
