    News RX 7700 XT GPU sells for $349 and even includes two free games

    Funny because my experience is the opposite. AMD divers feels much more polished with a lot of options. With Nvidia, I just have the basic driver with the interface of windows 98, just because i refuse to signup on their "geforce experience" data stealing gimmick. All my PCs for the last 20...

    News Windows 11 2024 update boosts file copying by up to 94% — ReFS and Block Cloning transition from Windows Server to mainstream Windows

    it's a good practice to install the games in a separated partition. Even Steam has a menu dedicated to this, so i think a lot of people do it. The main problem with installing games on the system partition, is that the user can fill the partition up and render windows unable to boot...

    [SOLVED] Solid Yellow CPU LED and no POST on new build ?

    if it was me, i would purchase the least expensive CPU compatible with this motherboard on amazon. Then i would try it. If it works, return your current CPU. if it does not work, return your motherboard. then you can keep the cheap CPU as a backup (since 14th gen intel is prone to failures...

    Nvidia RTX 3050 vs AMD RX 6600 faceoff: Which GPU dominates the budget-friendly $200 market?

    seems like for 200$, you get a best bang for the buck in the used market. a used 5700XT is still my recommended choice at 150 to 200$ CAD it's sad that the price to performance ratio is still the same since the last 5 years

    Your CPU is AMD, your network adapter is intel. It should let you download and install.

    Question No ethernet connection ?

    seems like a driver problem Since it's an intel network chipset, the best and easiest way to solve this is to install the intel driver updater here : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html just run it and let it update your drivers automatically. It will probably resolve...

    News AMD motherboard partners start rolling out BIOS updates with LogoFAIL fix

    reading how the flaw works, i guess i can prevent the exploit by : * activating secure boot : so only signed OSes can boot and/or * deselecting all the boot devices, leaving only "windows boot" am i right ?
