    Never mind, found it. Someone on Reddit said it's kind of hidden, it looks like a header under Peripherals. Sure enough there it was. I'm good to go now.

    Question fTPM enabling on a Gigabyte X570 UD motherboard

    [SOLVED] Is PCIe 4 worth the upgrade?

    No, it's not worth it! My wife's computer (B450) starts up quicker than mine (X570). However, I can tell the difference from SATA when I go to load on a track on iRacing. Used to take over 2 minutes and now it's close to 30 seconds. I haven't compared the track loading on my wife's computer...

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 3600 4.4GHZ@1.25Volts

    So 1.325 volts might or might not be safe. When I use normal settings on my R5-3600X, it runs Cinebench R20 at 3750 and the CPU temps peaks at 75C. When I manually overclock using Ryzen Master to 4275 with peak voltage set to 1.33125 I get a Cinebench R20 score of 3866 and my Temperature is...
