This is what every single Crypto noob says, expecting 5000% overnight returns. All I can tell you is that I am long on BTC and ETH. BTC is a collectors item and will be worth big bucks at some point in the future but no one knows when that will be.
Also, stop comparing the stock market to...
In before MS white knights come in here and tell you that Windows 11 is perfect and there aren't ads for them - YOU ARE the problem.
Seriously though, Windows 10 was the last version of windows that I will have used. If only MS cared more about innovation and less about ad revenue.
I am very excited as I live in the North Bay. I am willing to drive out to Santa Clara and make a day of it. Hopefully will be stopping by there later this year to build a new machine. 😎
I have a 5900X and have been contemplating the switch to AM5 but the motherboards really turned me off. Lots of people reporting issues with them. Figure I would just wait until the next release since my machine is chugging along fine (for now).
People still buy Windows? I'm sorry, paying $1 is too much (especially for a non-genuine retail copy). You are paying for literal spyware (Yes, I use windows).

Looks like they may have changed their mind after all. Would be awesome to see this come to the 12 series.
Sometimes your time is more valuable than a local tow. Thankfully, we haven't had to use the AAA service yet but nothing worse than being stuck somewhere and waiting hours for someone to come help.
Wokeness is a virus and destroys everything that is good in our society. Not a surprise it has infected AI. The many examples of AI being ok with the elimination of white people but protecting the feeling of others shows how deep the infection goes.
I have had read MANY reviews about AM5 and stability issues. I want to upgrade but the platform doesn't seem super polished at this point. Probably going to take some BIOS revisions to fix some of the issues you are having. AMD drivers, generally, imho, are pretty horrible.
Exactly, the bent pin should be pretty obvious, especially for someone that has a lot of experience putting machines together. If I saw that I would have immediately contacted newegg (would not have tried to install the CPU) and let them know. I wish you good luck with the process.
Seems to me that these are some potentially game changing tweaks that should be made at the BIOS level sans windows software. Intel limiting this to the 14th gen is shady at best when in reality the 12/13th gen ecores need serious optimization.
I know that certain motherboards require the Intel Management Engine firmware to be updated prior to the bios being updated. Have you looked into that?
