    Question Which UPS manufacturer should I buy from?

    I'm not aware of any atm. Pricing of used/old stuff here is silly. I believe some of the models I listed have been discontinued by their manufacturers, but are still sold here priced as though they just came out. And people sell their 5 gen old gear for 90% retail. I envy your 3kva ups story :(

    Question Which UPS manufacturer should I buy from?

    Hi, I am currently in need of a 850-900w+ UPS and I am hoping to gather some insight on the manufacturers of my current selection. I am aware that APC would be the 'most trusted' brand in the list, but the only model in my country is a 700w model, and there is a heck of a premium on it. So, I...

    Question Do I need to connect the extra 4-pin CPU Connector for the X470 Aorus Gaming 7 Wifi (Rev. 1.1)

    Should I be worried about the connector shorting out when I don't use it and collects dust? And: In a video, buildzoid (youtuber) stated about one of the boards he was reviewing that the extra 4pin would melt the board (vrm/heatsinks were horrible), if I were to use the 4pin just because of my...

    Question Do I need to connect the extra 4-pin CPU Connector for the X470 Aorus Gaming 7 Wifi (Rev. 1.1)

    I just plan to hit overclocks as advertised on the box, or use PBO when it finally does work on the 3000 series. If it turns out that I don't need it I would still like to understand what specific situations that 4pin is for. One more question :) I read somewhere that the 8pin is an 'EPS...

    Question What is the stock bios on the Aorus x470 gaming 7 wifi Rev 1.1?

    Ugh, so I have no choice but to spend more money? :cautious: Because I was under the impression that 3rd gen Ryzen wont work on bios earlier than F40 on gigabyte x470 boards

    Question What is the stock bios on the Aorus x470 gaming 7 wifi Rev 1.1?

    By the way, this thing is in the box, not installed. So yeah, there's that. So, any tips on how to flash in F31 without a 2nd gen ryzen cpu? ;)

    Question What is the stock bios on the Aorus x470 gaming 7 wifi Rev 1.1?

    Asking because I'm not sure if I can q-flash directly to the latest bios. Support page on Aorus' site states some bios cannot be installed without chipset updates, etc. EDIT: The Motherboard is currently NOT INSTALLED. My aim here is to understand in advance what I am supposed to do to make my...
