    Thread revival! Got a new phone earlier this year. Same layout, but got a new wallpaper. Meant to post this earlier, but got side tracked.

    AMD CPU to pair with RTX 4070 Super?

    I wouldn't buy a 5700X3D now if you weren't already in that platform and can upgrade to an X3D chip. Nothing wrong with the 7800X3D, especially with discounts for it since the 9800X3D just came out. Up to you really, between those two. If the 9800X3D isn't sold out, personally I would go for...

    Recommendations for an i7 board and tower case

    It's a deceptive thing to quantify because Windows would manage ram usage differently when there's more available. So when you've only got 16gb of ram, its algorithm will dump more things off of ram earlier when its deemed unnecessarily to hold it. Currently with my use case and using Chrome...

    Recommendations for an i7 board and tower case

    In this day and age, I would definitely do 32GB of ram as a start.

    Upgrade Options From Ryzen 1700/GTX 1080 Build

    One last question before going down the rabbit hole of RMA'ing expensive parts in the system, have you looked at running your DDR5 memory at jedec speeds? (I believe it's 4800? for DDR5) Do you still have your 1080 to throw in there to stress test? I have my doubts its the mobo/cpu unless...

    Upgrade Options From Ryzen 1700/GTX 1080 Build

    It really depends on the wiring in his place. Not uncommon for certain rooms to be hooked up with a double pole breaker - which would be fine to run a furnace and a high power drawing computer at the same time. About that coil whine thing, could always reach out to evga for an answer.

    Upgrade Options From Ryzen 1700/GTX 1080 Build

    Put it up on facebook marketplace or craigslist. Or... build a 2nd htpc build for the tv.

    Recommendations for an i7 board and tower case

    Can't say I can recommend Intel 13th/14th gen cpu's right now with their whole voltage shenanigans.

    [Asus x399-A Threadripper] ER_LED4 ? Motherboard wont boot. Possiblr pcie damage?

    Ooof. Depends on how bad it is, it could be fixed with some basic hand tools. If you have access to the socket's pin map and you can correlate it to the pin map, you can at least check to see if that pin's used for anything. Sometimes they're just extra ground pins that might not be a problem...

    AVG or Norton

    They behave more like a virus/malware than they do as an antivirus. They ride on their past reputation. It's still like that. Sometimes I forget it's even installed. It just does its thing in the background. Only time it does a push notification is to tell you that it updated to the latest...

    AVG or Norton

    I personally use Bitdefender Free, but Windows Defender is perfectly fine as well. I would avoid AVG or Norton like the plague.

    RAM Issue

    Only if the bios supports it. Dell/HP love to bios lock their desktops to specific chips back in those days.

    RAM Issue

    Yeah going with a pair that had 2Rx8 and mixing with 1Rx8 sticks could be an issue. As john has said, you should really get matching sticks of ram. Especially older PC's.

    How can places continue to supply molex to sata adaptors that catch fire without getting sued!

    I mean... the better question is... who the hell still uses molex power connectors in 2024?

    PDF Format

    I've got no issues with the PDF file format itself. Adobe Acrobat sucks tho... which is hilarious since they created the file format.

    WIndows 10 Upgrade to win 11 or buy new

    Your CPU is intel 7th gen core processors. There are work arounds to make Win 11 install on unsupported cpu's but these work arounds could close at any time from Microsoft updates. Honestly not worth the hassle. If your machine is still fine for what you do, I would suggest you just keep...
