first

Jesus christ, I just had a bad experience with newegg last week where they sent me a different motherboard than what I actually ordered. Now Im just waiting on them to receive the mb back. Hopefully the RMA dept doesnt fuck me.

Good luck when they inevitably claim you broke it and resell it a second time to someone else.

Is it worth upgrading RAM speed? I feel like I screwed myself over buying more 3.2Ghz RAM.

No. At this point the next time to worry about ram is on your next motherboard upgrade. Hopefully DDR5 is worked out and stable across most sold speeds.

sorry for your bent pins

I want to get another NVMe card but my motherboard only has one slot. Are there any good PCIe adapters with decent performance?
