My problem is that I need this for a secured work environment where admins don't allow users to run .exe files from untrusted sources. I can't run the firmware.

The windows key should be on the bottom left. If you look at their picture, the C989 windows key is bottom right. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0275/1211/1184/products/Cloud-Nine-Ergonomic-Mechaincal-Keyboard---Cherry-Blue---Copy-_2-min_2000x.jpg?v=1621952825

I've been wanting a mechanical version of the Ergonomic 4000 for a loooong time. I was this close ---> <--- to purchasing the C989. Had the credit card and shipping filled out. Then I saw the messed up location of the Windows key in a review, and someone describing the difficulty in remapping...

Following up on this. AMD's 3600x and intel's 9600KF are about the same $300 price, with the 9600KF having significantly more overclocking headroom and apparent edge in gaming. Am I missing something on AMD's side?

Lies. Still $68.

UPDATE: RESOLVED. MODULAR PCIE POWER CABLE WAS NOT PLUGGED IN ALL THE WAY. Hi everyone, I just did a build for my wife so she can game with me. We turned it on and it boots, but the 1060 graphics card isn't detected. It's not showing up in device manager AT ALL, not even as an unknown...

You have the Amazon price for the 7700k listed incorrectly... it directs to a 7700k + 1080Ti bundle listed for over $1000

I had similar issues caused whenever: 1. Windows decides to start checking for or downloading an update in the background. Solution: Disable auto-download. I don't think you can disable checking for updates. 2. Antivirus decides to start scanning. Solution: Schedule updates and scans at 3 AM...

Good thing they overcharge our photos anymore. I was sick of paying $1/photo.
