Just wanted to follow up on this as there are multiple dead end threads across a number of forums on this topic. The CPU was the issue. There were no bent pins or any visible damage, but I received my RMA from AMD today and it works wonderfully. Both ASUS and AMD were great to work with for the...

Interesting development. The B550 board I purchased for testing has 1 x16 PCI-E and 1 x8. The Strix X570 had 3 x16. When I plug my 3070 into the x8 slot on the B550, it works "normally". Drivers install, I can play games just fine and get decent frames. However, it's locked to x4 3.0 and...

Thanks for the reply! I've installed both chipset drivers for the x570 and b550 board from the manufacturer. I also installed them from a USB to a fresh windows install that didn't have internet access. Still the same problem.

This has been a SAGA so far, with some very perplexing symptoms and I am hoping to get some fresh eyes on it. System specs: CPU: 5600x with a CM Hyper 212 air cooler MOBO: Asus Strix X570-E Gaming RAM: G-Skill TridentZ Neo 3600 CL16 2x8GB GPU: eVGA 3070 XC3 Ultra PSU: eVGA 750 GA 750w Gold+...

The backlight bleed on my BenQ IPS is definitely noticeable, but only when games are exceedingly dark (noticeable for me during loading screens only for the most part). I will say that the bleed is at least uniform and not like the "X" across the screen that some of my older monitors used to...

I'll keep an eye on this. It looks right up my alley and the price is reasonable.

I wasn't even aware that the future of chastity is now.

I hear that card will make your neighbors lights flicker when you turn on your computer.

I don't think there is any hope of this returning to normal in 2021 and the spoken projections from companies regarding normalcy this year are optimistic. In fact, I think these companies are going to take advantage of the extended increased price era we're in to readjust what "normal" is even...

Even if you find a 3070 now it's minimum $700 after tax... I'm just happy I got mine for $530 before the madness. Even that was excessive for me as the last card I paid that much for was my 1070 ti during the last crypto craziness and I HAD to replace my 960 which was terrible. I just wish I...

This sounds bad.

Walked into Microcenter to get a 10600k to tide me over for awhile. Saw a stack of 5600x/5950x at the back desk and bought a 5600x instead. After having intel for the last 13 years out of what has felt like necessity it's good to be back on the wonderful and slightly weird side of the CPU war.

This is the best thing I've seen happen in the last year. Those Reddit lads are all right sometimes.

VRMs are decent. Not the board I'd pair anything over a 3600 with, though.

7a33v5J1 was the earliest BIOS for that board to support 3000 series chips. The 3600 should work fine. You need at least a b450 to run a 5600x or other zen3.

Amazon sells as many illegal goods as wish.com. They have extremely lax third party vendor requirements.

I feel like a doctor at family parties having people pull me aside to diagnose their hemorroids.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm holding my GPU just a little bit tighter tonight.

I am having issues with Ryzen Master (version 2.6.0.1702) not recognizing the clock speeds on my 5600x, which makes it pretty useless as I can't modify, monitor, or check for core strength. All other monitoring software I have used has detected the frequency just fine. Has anyone had this issue...

It's an extremely rare item that can be used to create a mirror image of a piece of gear. If someone crafts some ungodly item with perfect rolls they can charge people to mirror it. Generally the answer to this question is above my pay grade because I usually only build out a 15-20 exalt gear...

I own a PS4 and literally the only thing I've used it for is to play exclusives which have been incredible. I'm not even sure what exclusives Xbox has.

I do kind of miss having physical copies of games on PC. That is one thing I like about console. It sure is easier being able to download all of my games on Steam, but there is definitely an element of ownership missing. Anyway, I'm glad that Microsoft settled on only charging people $10 a...

I haven't seen one in almost 1000 hours. Come to think of it I've only seen like 7-8 exalts 😆

Oh buddy.

November 28, 2020 seems like such an innocent time now.

The 6800 would pair well with the 5600x and would be a much more capable 144hz card.

SOS. What a dog shit game that turned out to be.

I have the same board and CPU. On first boot it powered up and stuck on the ASUS splash screen indefinitely. No response from keyboard. Post codes cycled through and diagnostic lights stuck amber on DRAM and green on boot. After following the usual cmd prompt format for a 32gb usb 3.0 drive with...

I paid $280 for an Asus Strix X570-E to go with a 5600x. Not exactly the smartest purchase, but I wanted a solid motherboard since this is going to be my setup for the next 4-5 years. I had to USB flash to get it to post, and had to do the cmd prompt format to get it to work and the only file...

I loved my Abit board. I still have the ip35-e in the closet with (I think) a 3000+ or 3800+ socketed into it. I had both chips and sold one but don't remember which at this point. I put so many hours on that setup.

If you can get a 9700k for $200 then I think that is the best price/performance right now. Although I've seen $220 10600ks which is also pretty great. I would suggest waiting to see what the 11xxx IPC improvements look like.

DayZ is something I just started recently because a friend is super into it. The gunplay is tolerable, the amount of guns is pretty respectable, looting and hoarding is always fun. I haven't been following the game really closely, but I think the game is in about as good of a place as it's going...

I dislike them both but I'm not gonna turn down the unprecedented deals that the epic store is luring people in with.

Playing some DayZ and Tarkov. Downloaded Destiny 2 to see how it runs on the new 3070/5600x. Hey guys, I love PC gaming.

I have all my parts for my build but this makes me genuinely sad for everyone wanting to upgrade or build for the first time.

9700k went to $250 at MC. I reserved a 10600k for $220 (incredible price/performance) and a z490 board. When I got there they had 5600xs available so I cancelled and went that route.

I'm currently staring down my microcenter shopping cart with an open box 9600k and z390 Aorus Pro WiFi for $315... I could eBay my 6700k and z170x Gaming 7 and break even... If I do it I will have leveraged COVID shortages to upgrade from a 6700k/Z170 mobo/1070ti to a 9600k/z390 Aorus Pro/3070...
