Should. It's not a first Gen architecture. Should see large improvements like Ryzen 1 to 2.

I am loving the Fold 2. But for $2000 it's hard to recommend. Yes they have good deals and a buy pack program for 1K that helps but you'd really need to be a power user that really really wants a big beautiful tablet on the inside.

Thing has taken me days to get used to its so different. Most beautiful screen I've seen to date though and we know Sammy makes the best. It is glorious.

can any of you guys tell me why my headphones have this screeching white noise coming through my headphones? it doesn't play any audio other this this.


if i route the audio to my monitors, the audio is fine, but currently, neither headphone jack on the front of the case or the mobo on the back is working. just a loud screeching noise.


eta: i should add that i removed the gpu to take pictures of it for reddit and facebook. reinstalled it and this happened.

eta: i can disable the headphones and it still plays this screeching sound.

Check in your bios audio settings and disable everything? Or enable if disabled. Should see settings for your front panel audio.

Uninstall and reinstall your audio drivers as well.

Yeah did all that. Nothing changed. What if I reset my mobo back to default? Will I have to reinstall the new bios for the CPU to work?

will the drivers finally not suck?



This was always overblown to me. I have a 5700Xt and never once had any issues, hardware unboxed also never encountered any problems with their navi units.

I know some channels out there who did have some issues in some games, but it just seems to be way overblown. Not that they are as good as nvidia's but again seem to be more people out there without any issues with drivers than did have issues with the drivers.

Very excited the big navi units will come with adequate VRAM. 10GB just wont be enough for 4k on the 3080 which is why 20GB cards are already SKU'd up in the near future - not sure if those are 3080Ti's or just 20GB versions of the 3080 but 12-16GB VRAM seems much more usable for 4K gaming down the road than 10GB.

Feels so weird to say 10GB isn't enough when just over a year and a half ago I was still on a 3GB 7950

Yeah I've never had any issues with mine either. Space Invaders was equally prominent for Turing as drivers for Navi.

And you know damn well Ampere will be worse with the 500+ watts and heat limits within 1 degree of max for most cards. Water cool or go home.

you guys think $300 for a 5700 XT reference card with the Accelero IV is a good deal? i got someone on r/hardwareswap offering that.

Probably. 6800 will make it pretty obsolete at the same msrp.

I'll be selling mine when big Navi gets closer but keeping the custom cooler.

Yeah, they're universal so I'm sure I'll get more usage out of it at some point.

i might counter with a $300 price if he'll let me take it off and reinstall the blower cooler. Only thing is the thermal pads. i'm sure the originals aren't any good anymore.

Making a trip out to MicroCenter tomorrow morning to finally upgrade my 6600k. Looking between the 10700k and the 10850k. Was wondering if there is any reason to go with the i9 (can also get the 10900k for $477 but that’s at Best Buy).

Basically will be using it for gaming, I just ride my CPU for a while and want it to last about 5-6 years, 6600k cut me a little short.

We're literally 2 weeks from Zen 3...

I know I’m just not really looking at AMD mainly because I have used Intel on my three previous builds, also if it’s anything like the 3080 I’m about two months out from being able to get my hands on one.

$350 for the 10700k is tempting for me, I am trying to hold out for Zen 3 but I’m starting to believe it’s foolish to think I’ll get my hands on one.

I don't think Zen 3 is expecting any shortages. TSMC is not Samsung.

If anything they'll force Intel to drop prices more as they'll be losing pretty bad across the board.

I might hold out a little longer then, just bought a xs8200 1tb and 32gb of ram. I can still work on the case and power supply for the meantime.
