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.
Hudson Hernandez
Good luck when they inevitably claim you broke it and resell it a second time to someone else.
Kevin Jenkins
Is it worth upgrading RAM speed? I feel like I screwed myself over buying more 3.2Ghz RAM.
Lincoln Wilson
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.
Isaiah Miller
sorry for your bent pins
Wyatt Torres
I want to get another NVMe card but my motherboard only has one slot. Are there any good PCIe adapters with decent performance?
Aaron Bennett
So apparently using two of my 3 m.2 slots disbales some sata ports, kind of bullshit.

>order the cpu and its cooler on the same day >the cooler will arrive a week after the cpu >wont be able to use my pc for 7 fucking days How is this legal?
Asher James
not enough pcie lanes that's why you get a beefier board
Zachary Hughes
One was in your country and the other is shipping from a chinese warehouse.
Andrew Watson
asked this in last thread and a bunch of bitch asses told me to READ the OP and yet it STILL isn't in the OP. WHERE do the 3080 and 6800 XT rank for 1440p. if you AREN'T going to answer that your OP has NO use but to apparently SHILL alder lake CPUs.
Elijah Edwards
Better than the 3070 and 6800, worse than the 3090 and 6900XT.
Gavin Morgan
Maybe you could find some benchmarks on youtube?
Carson Foster
imagine this place being your first choice to get this readily available info
Adrian Fisher
the 6800 xt at launch was neck and neck with the 3080 but after a year of drivers and game updates it surpasses it and is on par with the 3080ti in synthetics like 3dmark.
If it's stuff you can afford to lose just buy the cheapest one. It'll probably be SMR but that doesn't really matter for media unless you want to use RAID. If you do, WD Red Plus, Seagate Ironwolf, or Toshiba N300. If you really want to maximize storage/$ you could look into shucking externals but it's a bit more involved.
Jason Gomez
Is that supposed to be a positive? All it tells me is that amd releases their hardware with beta drivers
Austin Richardson
WD red plus is looking to be the best since I'm going for pure space and longterm use.
I heard they are rebranding some reds to blue though???
