I am running the newest, last released AM4, the Ryzen7 5700X. I upgraded to it due to its performance to power draw specs. If I am correct, it is the best of the bunch.

The flagship cards use so much power. Too much juice to be in a daily driver for me. My single 8 pin Sapphire RX 6700 10Gb is the power saver sweet spot.

Favorite female character, duh: Lara Croft Favorite male character: Max Payne

My last Intel rig was a 1Ghz Pentium III. Then I built an Athlon XP 2500+ Batron rig and never looked back. Sticking with AMD. :peace:

I want a new GPU at MSRP, as many of other hard working people do. I hope the rest of the world follow's China and flushes crypto.

I won't do an upgrade, unless it's "required" to change the license from 10 to 11. If the 11 ISO/media is available on Oct. 5th I'll take the day one leap. Noting wrong with Win 10, and I haven't even seen Win 11 yet, but I am looking forward to Windows 11.

Yes indeed.

I received a package from Newegg today. I thought to myself, what did I order? I opened it and saw the kick-azz cooler. Thank you all!

I have the same TUF board. It could use a back panel cmos or bios switch, but that's really my only complaint about it. I say stick with the board and if you need to spend money, you could change out your 3200 ram for some 3600. Maybe a Ryzen 5000 chip. I just put it a Ryzen 5 5600X cpu, it was...

I own, but haven't ever finished Skyrim. I can easily loose interest if a game has to much down time between action. I haven't finished RDR2 either for the same reason. Bring back the original glorious DX9 Call Of Duty, dressed up with DX12 and all the modern bells and whistles and I will...

I just ordered a Ryzen 5 5600X this morning. Party time! The money I saved over the Ryzen 7 5800X will be going towards a 2TB NVMe 4.0x4 ssd.

I want to say Thank You to MONTECH and TECHPOWERUP, for the 210 CPU cooler I have won!

I have been playing BF on PC since it's dawn with BF 1942 with the cd's. Portal looks Awesome! I can't wait to relive the WWII gaming of BF 1942 with the new hardware and all the bells and whistles. F! YEAH!

I should put my closet rig up for sale I suppose. Still decent kit I imagine.

I have my signature rig, and my last one sitting unused in the closet. It has a Ryzen 2600, 16g ram, and an 8g RX 580. But only one monitor. Are the rigs worth mining?
