RAM issues are a nightmare. Sometimes it is the mobo slots, so hard to test unless you have a spare mobo.

Anyone surprised at some of the backlash the B550 boards are getting for being "too expensive"? Not sure what some people were expecting after seeing X570 come out with the cheapest boards being just under $200 at launch. They werent going to launch B550 at B450 current pricing obviously, no sub $90 boards (that I've seen). PCI gen4 and the much better built VRMs alone simply cost more money than your comparable B450 board.
Think they are still a great choice compared to X570, the most interesting part will be seeing B550 boards around $200 vs. X570 boards around $200.
I picked up my Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite for $200 (actually $150 since I got $50 off at microcenter bundled with zen 2 purchase
) but want to see how the B550 version stacks up at just $160 but also the $180 B550 Gigabyte Aorus Pro which has a 6 layer PCB (Elite only has 4 layer).

That is a good price. I remember that board was around 350 retail at the time of the 3950X launch.

The X570 Aorus Elite? It was only $199 at launch, I got for $149 at Microcenter because they were taking $50 off mobos and 5700/5700XTs if you bought them with any zen 2 chip in summer last year. So I got the Elite for $149 and a 5700 XT for $349 at launch for both basically

Talked to someone today about the zen 2 refresh chips and what they said made a lot sense. If AMD is releasing a 3600XT, 3800XT and 3900XT, he thinks they will eliminate the 3600 or 3600X and 3700X or 3800X SKU's to have just 2 6-cores, 2 8-cores and 2 12-core options instead of flooding the pricing with 3 6-cores and 3 8-cores.
I could potentially see that. The 3600X SKU literally makes no sense right now selling well above $200 (like $215-$235) when the 3600 can be had for $160-$175 very easily. So either get rid of the 3600 and bring the 3600X down well under $200 and sell the 3600XT for current 3600X price or get rid of the 3600X and keep the 3600 at $160-$175 and the 3600XT goes for the $215-$235 the 3600X is going for now.
On the other side, eliminate the 3700X at $260-$275 currently, bring the 3800X down to around there and sell the 3800XT for $300-$325 or again get rid of the 3800X and keep the 3700X at $260-$275 while the 3800XT is $300-$330.

That's what I initially read, they'd replace them with the refresh.

Thought that would be be about the hardware unboxed guys and was like OH HELL NO (love their motherboard VRM tests, GPU roundups and monitor reviews specifically)
Yeah the unboxed therapy guy is just an ad replacement basically, @ IT'S A DEHUMIDIFER

EA Access is coming to Steam. Few games already ported over like SoT, goodbye Origin. 
Posted on 6/4/20 at 7:10 pm to UltimateHog
Yeah just read on the main page. Really big news, I'm excited.
I just experienced GamePass for the first time with Minecraft Dungeons.
I'm all in on this sub-to-play model.

AMD's Big Navi RDNA2 set to hit PC before PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X make it to market: likely beats NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
That would be a huge jump, hopefully they price it right. I'd probably pay $700 maybe 8 tops for a slightly more powerful 2080ti card.

Some 3800XT benchmark leaked:

~10% faster than 3800X in this gaming benchmark, rut roh Intel. That would pretty much close the gap.
