Stupid question (I've never used multi-monitors so I'm unfamiliar with that kind of setup): Does mixing DP and HDMI cause problems? Unfortunately, that has been true for more than a decade and look where we are. I only hope that it changes because I want a balanced market to increase...

As glad as I am that the Radeon 9000-series worked out well (except for their mentally-deficient naming scheme), I'm still shaking my head at the RX 9070. They pulled that same stupidity between the RX 7900 XT/XTX and again with the RX 7700 XT/7800 XT. It didn't work then and it won't work...

Hahahaha, love it! 😁 You might like my idea of what BMW stands for... Bankrupt Myself Willingly 😉 That's pretty funny because Jay is YouTube's ultimate nVidia fanboy. You'd think that he'd remember something like that. 😆 I'm just glad that ATi decided to NOT use that dumb connector. One...

I saw a Jayz2Cents video about this. He believes that it's user error for the same reasons as Aaron. What was funny though was a different take on the ID10.T error. He called it "P.I.C.N.I.C." which stands for "Problem in chair, not in computer". I had never heard that one before so I admit...

Yeah, it looks like it might be called "Qualcomm". I really hope not because it would be better for all of us if Intel just reformed its terrible corporate culture. The last thing we need is more market consolidation because that's giving rise to corporations so big that they lose all of their...

I'm actually surprised by this. Not because it happened, but because I had assumed it already happened years ago. EPYC has been outperforming Xeon since its inception in most server and data centre applications. I'm actually shocked that it took this long but I guess that old Intel slogan of...

I think that most people do, which makes the dishonesty all the more pointless.

While I don't doubt that the R7-9800X3D will outperform the R7-7800X3D, recent events have made me doubt AMD's marketing team. I remember when Ryzen first came out and AMD had adopted a "just tell the truth" approach when it came to marketing. I remember when review sites actually gave...

I hear you. The only reason that I have an XTX is because Newegg had some insane open-box deal in August of 2023. I was perfectly happy with my RX 6800 XT but when I saw an ASRock RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming OC for (the equivalent of) only $850USD, I couldn't say no. Even now, over a year...

Thanks for best answer! I'm sorry that I didn't have good news for you, but I always say that it's better to tell the truth.

Well, it has always been true that there are people who are willing to pay stupid amounts of money in the name of "having the best". Consider that there are lots of people who are insane enough to buy an RTX 4090. That card costs $1650USD, which is an astonishing 83% more expensive than the RX...

Don't be so sure because a hardware issue could manifest the exact same symptoms in the exact same timeframe. This means that it's far more likely that you're having a hardware issue. If it were only happening when you were running Relive then I would say that you're overloading the card...

It will require a BIOS update but it will work just fine. As a matter of fact, it specifically lists the Ryzen 7 5700X3D in its CPU support list. ASRock AB350M CPU Support List <-click here The R7-5700X3D is third from the bottom of the list. The TDP isn't listed but I know for a fact that...

It's clearly your motherboard and it's the most common culprit for dead motherboards that I'm aware of. A problem with the power distribution system.

Well, yeah, of course you're not overclocking because you have a B-series board and Intel B-series boards don't support overclocking. The REAL question is, what CPU are you using because that makes a much bigger difference when choosing the cooler than the motherboard is. There are very few...
