I have no problems with EQ when applied correctly. Or as long as the person doesn't think everyone else will want to hear whatever EQ they have setup.

Those look quite handy.

What is upgraded in W11 compared to 10 for the average user?

It can be disabled, allegedly. Sounds like MS left themselves plenty of wiggle room on however "much" data they collect when the process is running.

Have a default or recommended baseline setup and let users flip things on or off and everyone (or close enough) would be content. The majority seem to find the "convenience" of having updates, features, or whatever else forced upon them to be preferable.

Tempting. I can't imagine why anyone would bother with the 7600XT, even with the discount, though.

Lame open world Ubisoft puke, Star Wars edition? It was clear where DLC was going. Get less, pay more, listen to the publishers cry about their unsustainable business practices.

I'd say Corsair 5000 or 7000, or Fractal since you mentioned multiple drives. I'd lean toward the 7000 or the Fractal, maybe the Thermaltake, out of what you listed.

I hear it's one of the friendlier (in terms of gameplay/unlocking stuff) gacha but I haven't played it and won't touch the genre. Nice. I've been thinking about picking up a newer Naga after confirming I could run the SW offline as needed. I wouldn't mind giving Razer's keypads a try, and...

How's the glow and black uniformity on them?

I'd suggest checking Microcenter for open box parts if you aren't buying a bundle. They won't beat the best deals you might find here or another forum but they're usually well priced.

AMD would be my choice in that scenario. I'd wait to see what's announced later in the year if I had your current HW though.

Any pictures :)?

The savings have never been enough for me to consider it. Last SSD purchase I made it was something like $5 - $10 more for the drive I bought versus a DRAMless one.

Here's a list of AM5 boards if you're interested: Price depends mostly on what features or IO you want out of the board. I think 850W should be fine unless you've got a lot of power draw elsewhere.

Fan(s) included or HS/bracket only?

Not that I know of :(.

TPU has an SSD database which I find helpful: https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/ It's been mentioned above but, definitely avoid QLC and DRAMless. I check prices on the capacity/type and then determine which (if any) aren't QLC/DRAMless. From there I check reviews/benchmarks.

I'd consider it dead without known working parts to test with.

Have you checked if you can get into the BIOS without any HDDs or SSDs connected?

I could accept a fee knowing I was connecting to a dedicated server (probably wouldn't be willing to pay but I wouldn't feel insulted by it). Paying to play a game that connects directly/P2P is unacceptable to me.

How did memory testing go? Are all the sticks good?

Something to consider after you determine whether or not your RAM is faulty as suggested above. If you're resuming with moderate frequency and there's not a good chance of power loss why not try a sleep mode instead of hibernation?

I'm interested in buying one if Samir or someone else isn't buying all of them, please. Would you mind posting the health info please?

Do you have a discrete video card you could check with? A small slot powered card would be ideal. Have you checked the other outputs on the board to see if they exhibit the same problem?

I get output at POST but, I did try that. It refused to run correctly. Tried it again, same issue, it hangs or endlessly refreshes itself and all I can do is kill the process. Edit: Going to head off for now. I'll make a dedicated thread for it tomorrow if I remember. Thanks for the feedback...

X670E Taichi, 7700X, GTX 1080ti. Booting I sit with nothing for a few seconds then "_" and then the Asrock screen. Not sure on specific drivers, I tried with current stable Void, Slack, and Fedora. The monitor reports 2560x1440@60hz in the OSD. Edit: I could try disabling the iGPU in the BIOS...

In my case the screen stops updating, displays nothing, or gives me garbled junk. Another monitor works without issue over DP and another worked alright with HDMI. I'm tempted to check if my iGPU would work but it would be however much to buy a cable I wouldn't use after that.

I'd look around for a good deal on a used card. If I were buying new I'd probably go for the Asrock's A580 at $165 (US).

Probably not.

I was going to run it as a primary OS but I'm stuck on W10 until I can figure out my video issues. All HW is working but I can't get DP to output to my main monitor (XB270HU) once it switches video modes from VGA. I'm curious if maybe AMD cards would work, aside from the lack of G-Sync support...

Seems to be their way of thinking since they pushed 10 out the door. Maybe 8 but I'm not familiar with their update strategy there.

More sectors could use the same treatment ;).

I've gotten things sorted now, thanks everyone.

I used a partially filled drive to flash an Asrock X670E board (stuck on memory training), as well as the previously mentioned Asus board, and both were successful.

Bump.

You could try pestering Asus about it but they'd probably want you to RMA the board if they did anything.

Is the drive formatted as fat32 and did you use the specified USB port mentioned in the manual? I flashed an older Asus board (BIOS was corrupted) a while ago and it worked.

More or less the same as DRM for games, the customer gets the short end of it. Better off ripping the discs or with on the fly decryption.

Regular BDs have different requirements. Any BD drive plus software (some is free to use) should work fine there. I'm not sure about newer drives but, there are probably still some available.
