End of an era i guess. That was good 14 years this case lasted me. So many vendor stickers all the way from Core2 Duo to Ryzen 5 glued in the front panel, lost in time.
Why is it fucking raining inside?

Warning to anyone reading this, there's a ban evading nvidia fanboy mass replier who even claimed DLSS has nothing to do with upscaling and that upscaling is better than native resolution gaming and he almost always posts very old benchmarks as if game and driver updates don't exist.

These cheap shill tactics are effective against clueless people coming to this general asking for help and getting wrong advice from corporate fanboys regurgitating cheap marketing spiel, be aware.

Always be careful when reading mass replies, don't fall for the marketing spiel.

Just buy a gigantic case bro

I'm searching for a mini itx case that can fit a 6800xt.
So far meshilicious and lian li q58x4 are looking pretty good.
Any other cases I should be looking at?

Where are all the retards telling people couple weeks back to buy a $1000 3080 because 4080 would cost $2000 now

ITX builds are a meme

Torrent Nano.

let me know when you buy a 4080

So I'm on my 5th AMD motherboard, tried X370 - B450 (x2) and B550 (x2)
Do any of these not have issues? Right now it's TPM stutter (which I suppose I could disable, but not too happy about it) and USB issues - with previous ones it has been RAM instability, USB issues and network issues, getting quite sick of this considering I've bought both mid-tier and enthusiast motherboards.

Any recommendations for an actual properly functioning AMD motherboard? M-ATX formfactor, should be stable running 24/7.
