    Hi, I am seeking advice and/or constructive criticism on a build I am thinking of trying.

    I have to brake it to everybody but why didn't somebody (until now) pitch getting a Mac for music and a seperate PC for gaming? I would go with that, since Macs are known to be best productivity machines created. 5000$ you say? I can work with that. 1. A brand new MacBook Pro will cost you...

    Hot take: B550 is DOA for enthusiasts. Your thoughts?

    What is all this fuss about B550 and X570? I mean, yea, there are all kinds of boards out there from these 2 chipset lineups, but why fuss over something that is so simple to see and realise? Lets brake down on VRM design for most CPUs: 6 - 8 VRMs - Athlon 3000 to Ryzen 3 3300x 10 VRMs - Ryzen...

    Failed 3800X Build goes Intel 10th gen :)

    Not quite up with your story of that failed built, but from my own experience working in IT Sales (doing custom builds and stuff), i can say people seem to enjoy every AMD build i do for them, from lowest Ryzen 3s to highest Ryzen 9s and all that blink. Now i don't know your abilities around a...

    How many of you Radeon 5700 owners have ditched your cards over the drivers?

    As a long term AMD GPU user, i can say that in the days of the Catalyst driver (HD 5, 6 and 7 Series GPUs), it was buggy as hell and was crashing, but not to a point where it is unusable, those were minor stuff that were fixable if you had 5 mints to spare. Now coming forward to the new...

    Playstation 5 storage says it does 5.5gb/s reads, PCI Gen4 NVME doesn't even hit that, am I reading it wrong?

    Kek, almost every PCIE 4.0 nVME SSD can hit 6Gbps and more, nothing special, but still a great improvement over the PS4's hardware even upgraded with a regular SATA SSD.

    Sad Story (with a happy end)

    Thanks for the comments and opinions on this guys, really apreciate it. First, i like to adress the motherboard. I know it is not the best choice overall, but i wanted something with PCI G4, and support for more than one M.2 SSD which this board has. Also, the VRM and chipset issue, within a...

    Sad Story (with a happy end)

    Hello, people of the TechPowerUp community Recently my Intel Xeon X3460 was retired since the board that i got (Asus P7P55D) went "kaput" and the SouthBridge just quit working, making the board useless and thus far, having to retire the CPU. But luckly for me, the IT company that i work in now...

    Since i got my new MSI MAG241C, i've been using the HDMI audio out of the monitor to my Steel Series Arctis 1. Now i know the HDMI signal is weak to drive these headphones, but is there any way i can boost that? I'm thinking of ordering this: Eu Plug,Ha400 Ultra-Compact 4 Channels Mini Audio...

    Thinking about it, i have too much usefull software, I had to call you guys up and see if there is anyway I can save it.

    Windows won't run updates.

    Read the instructions, did it, still no success. Found another clue that would help you guys to help me get to the bottom of this: Even if I click Restore Defaults, it says the same. Also, no Windows Update in my Services.
