The Heroes Round Table

I came across this article about potentially new game.

According to the notes, the pc did not boot consistently and there were issues with USB ports in the system. After bios update, it resolved the issue. Armory Crate can change the rgb lighting of the RAM and Liquid Cooler screen, but I don't know how to change the rgb lighting of the GPU and anything...

The store worker said there was a delay in completing the build because of "odd behavior from the PC and he wanted to be sure the issues were resolved by the BIOS update." He said it passed full diagnostic testing and I can pick it up tomorrow. It makes me nervous.

The 7950X3D is in stock at Microcenter and I bought it. PC is being built and should be done by tomorrow. I went with the ASRock B650E PG Riptide WiFi MB, no hard drive, and unfortunately, I had to buy the home windows 11 oem from the store for $120. They are installing it as part of the building fe...

I have not solved my windows. I like the idea of the Windows 10 Professional Online Activation Key you showed, but little nervous to trust it. Actually, my current PC that had failing hard drive somehow started working normally again and I've not had any problems with it so far. In the meantime, I a...

Yes, I have router on first floor but my computer is on second floor so I use the adapter.

Thank you Pol. You are much more trustworthy to me than store workers. I don't know why they keep trashing my motherboard. Regarding wifi, I currently am using wifi where I live to connect to internet with this: https://www.trendnet.com/products/wireless/AC1900-High-Power-Dual-Band-Wireless-USB-Adap...

Okay. Store worker said that in case it doesn't fit, either MB heatsink or SSD heatsink can be removed. However, he said that the motherboard we chose would not be able to power the CPU (something about VRM). He recommended a different MB. I wanted to get your idea if that's true or if you recommend...

BTW removing heatsink means to unscrew 6 screws. According to the item description, the heatsink can't be removed. I will check again with the store if they think it will still fit, but if not, I will have to pay the return/restocking fees and buy the one without a heatsink. https://www.newegg.com/...

Given that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is still sold out everywhere and 7800x3d releasing April 6th, would it be advisable to get the 7800x3d or continue waiting for the 7950x3d?

I've backed up almost everything to a USB. I guess I will buy an external hard drive this weekend since I'm not sure I have spare SATA or power cables. It sounds like I can't use the one that was connected to the failing drive? Should I throw out the failing drive? Any you external drive you recomme...

With my failing hard drive my computer frequently starts automatic repairs on hard drive when I turn it on, but this sometimes takes several hours and I'm not sure if it is froze or doing something meaningful. WIndows is booting from SSD so is there anything I can do to disable my hard drive to avoi...

Wow the 7950x3d looks so much better. I never doubted you for a second Pol. I was just surprised when the store worker said my build wouldn't work and then started changing everything. I will wait for the 7950x3d to be back in stock and then get that ASUS B650M-A Prime II motherboard & complete ...

As for the cooling, I thought you recommended buying both the ROG Ryujin and Noctua NHD15. Are you saying that I only choose one of these? I was confused by that. The bundle components include the following for a total of $600: https://www.microcenter.com/product/652682/amd-ryzen-9-7900x-raphael-am5...

Today I went to the store and showed them the parts we discussed on this forum and they said: 1. Cooler wouldn't fit in my case 2. Power supply was not high quality. 3. Motherboard was not high quality and with different MB, CPU & Ram, build would be a lot cheaper. 4. SSD I think he said would h...

I already bought everything except for the CPU + Motherboard (out of stock) and the cooling system (waiting to get price quote on custom cooling to compare with ROG Ryujin & Noctua fan). Don't want to jump through hoops of returning items, so will probably keep what I have.

I learned about a "Distro Plate" from this video for custom cooling. Also wondering if the Y40 would be a better option than the Y60 case.

Would any of these be better than the ROG Ryujin that you posted? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WNJCVNW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=arctic.de-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07WNJCVNW&linkId=757152398a959a063c7917a3b2a5dd71 https://www.newegg.com/p/1...

That's all very interesting with the panel, but I have to check if there will be extra cost to build that, because I don't think it is worth the extra money.

The specs on my power supply say that it is 1.4 kg, but I weighed it in the box and it is 3.4 kg. Much heavier.

It's unfortunate that Rog Ryujin is sold out at Asus store where it is priced at $90. It is priced at $230 everywhere else. :( This video card seems to have slightly better specifications, longer warranty, and non-essential LED lights at same price than the one you chose Pol, although it is also lar...
