  1. News Intel GPUs - Battlemage IGP benchmarks are here

    This is subjective, but the DC area Microcenters used to have 20+ units in stock of A770 all the time. Out of curiosity I just looked and the Fairfax/Rockville Locations have 3 New in box (plus another 3 open box) between the two of them. I don't remember Microcenter ever putting them on a...

    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/february-2023-corporate-news.html Now Intel is cutting their dividend to a third of it's current value, from $.365/share to $.125/share. So 96 cents less expenditure per share each year, with over 1 billion shares outstanding that means...
  3. News Intel GPUs - Battlemage IGP benchmarks are here

    One of the LG Oleds, from a few years ago. The previous video card (AMD 5700) was working fine on that HDMI port though. I'm not familiar with chroma subsampling, maybe 5700 didn't support that so it was a moot issue.
  4. News Intel GPUs - Battlemage IGP benchmarks are here

    I got the Intel model A770 a few weeks ago, sharing my experiences for anyone who's considering picking one up. Setting up drivers was weird...I put it into a computer connected to a TV via HDMI. As soon as I installed drivers via Arc Control, I lost display output. I verified that Rebar was...

    That can't be the only factor at play though, right?. Otherwise people would never invest in companies with negative profits. The idea is that Intel spends this money now to drive future growth. I don't konw their financials though, maybe they're burning through those reserves much more than...
  6. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    I'm finally up and running 1 month later. Picked my computer up from microcenter, the motherboard i had previously exchanged for wasn't working for them either (They also tested a 2200 g in it). I said screw it, went with the x570 gigabyte mitx and paid for microcenter to install because I was...
  7. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    Thanks, I'll have to try that once more. The gpu not being properly seated seems most obvious, but I took it in/out twice and it seemed to be firmly connected. My problem is I don't have too much time to tinker during the week since I'm cannibalizing the GPU from my current system.
  8. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    Good news: my system is no longer power cycling; I exchanged my motherboard for one that has the ryzen 3000 ready sticker. Bad news: I can't get it to output video. I trying clearing the bios, and was able to get into the UEFI briefly. I then restarted so I could boot from USB and...nothing...
  9. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    Thanks! I ended up swapping my mobo with one that has the ryzen 3000 sticker on it. If it doesn’t boot properly i’m going to throw in the towel and take the system back to micro center to diagnose.
  10. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    Question about cleaning thermal paste; there still seems to be a thin "stain" of paste even after cleaning with 70% alcohol. Is that going to be an issue for reapplying paste? Do I need to make sure it's 100% shiny? I'm considering going to buy some acetone but I don't want to if it's not...
  11. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    Thanks, I'll try and wait a bit longer. But honestly if this is the case, that's ridiculous and unacceptable. I'm pretty unhappy with amd right now.
  12. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    Tried letting it cycle for a few minutes, nothing changes. Back to the store this weekend.
  13. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    thanks, that’s the plan. I just wanted to see if maybe there was something i’m missing before lugging it over. Sounds like no.
  14. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    I finally put together my new build and I can’t get it to post. instead, when i turn the computer on it runs for about 10-15 seconds, then I hear a “click” from the power supply, and it restarts. I thought the click might signal a short, but i disconnected and reconnected all the wires and...
  15. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    For anyone looking to buy from Microcenter. I was at the Rockville Microcenter and was told they pre-flashed all their motherboards to be compatible for Ryzen 3000. It's worth verifying in store, but hopefully this is the case for most Microcenters. I just got back. I was there about 15...
  16. Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    Probably an error or someone getting themselves into trouble. Looks like they're no longer up.
  17. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    It seems like asrock provides better support than asus which is surprising. At least that’s what i’m seeing so far. And that’s good news for pbo. I wouldn’t think it would be restricted by chip, which sounds like something on amd’s end rather than mobo manufacturers.
  18. Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    Apparently this is misinformation. She never said anything about preorders during computex. This rumor comes from some guy at gamers nexus, or so I’ve heard. So 6 more days for us.
  19. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    I looked it up, it seems like asrock does support PBO.Though the VRMs apparently aren't quite as good as asus. Is that reason enough to go with asus? Though, at this point, I'm even considering an x570 if it would be beneficial (my main reason to avoid them is the chipset fan). But I don't...
  20. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    In terms of motherboards, most of what you said flew over my head. Unfortunately microcenter has only one x470 mitx board (asus strix x470). If that’s worth the money i’m on board to spend it. In terms of cooling, i value silence over performance. Also the aio’s seem to pretty costly; $130...
  21. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    1. I'm not too worried about clockspeeds, especially since it sounds like games these days are usually limited by the gpu. 2. Either the asus b450 strix or the asrock b450 fatality. I'm told asus has slightly better vrms but I think overall the asrock is the better option. I don't see a need for...
  22. Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    You're right, this probably fits better in the builders thread. I'll switch it there and answer your questions.
  23. Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    I know I should probably wait for reviews but given that I've held off on upgrading since around December I'm all but guaranteed to pull the trigger. Since people here seem to be quite knowledgeable I'm looking for some input on the cpu aspects. 1. Should I get the 3600 or 3700x? 3600 will be...
  24. Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    I definitely had considered that but I don't want to deal with the hassle of swapping out cpu's and heatsinks as well as trying to offload the 2200. Realistically I could just get a 2600 now and be set for a while but my heart is pretty much set on zen 2 with the belief that it will be an...
  25. Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    Damn quite a bit later than I thought. I guess I assumed they'd match the release date for the 2000 series.
  26. Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    Is there any news as to release date for this yet? For some reason I was assuming around April, but I recently saw an article from Tom's suggesting it probably wont be until Q3. Is it likely that AMD will provide more definite release dates come CES?
  27. Troubleshooting Help

    Knock on wood, the new video card appears to have resolved the issue. I haven't had the random shutdown since, though I haven't done a real stress test, just the same use cases as before. Someone recommended I do a benchmark to verify it's still working, which I'll probably do within the next...
  28. Troubleshooting Help

    I ended up pulling the trigger on a user rx 580 from ebay (I did my due diligence). It should arrive by end of the week. I'll update with results at that point. Way over that but I stubbornly told myself I'll wait for zen 2. Going to due an essentially entirely new build. New case (cerberus)...
  29. Troubleshooting Help

    Thanks both. Unfortunately I don't have spare video cards or power supplies hanging around, so I'll have to get one to figure it out. And VirtualLarry, I was looking at downsizing to an sfx form factor so the silver lining is I probably wouldn't have been able to fit those psus anyways. Since...
  30. Troubleshooting Help

    I think either my video card (amd 6850) or power supply (seasonic x660) is on the way out, and I'm not sure which one. Starting a little over a week ago i encountered a random shutdown of the computer. No blue screen or anything, just turned off. This has started happening more frequently, and...
  31. Whom is still rocking an Athlon / Phenom II (even X6), or a Core2Duo/Quad? X58 users too.

    Still rocking an Athlon x4 620 with AMD 6850. And still play games on it too, though nothing new. But I think I'm going to treat myself to an upgrade when Zen 2 is released.
  32. Scotland Travel Advice

    Sup fellas, I'll be in Scotland in August, with a roughly set itinerary. I really want to go for a hike on the Isle of Skye, but the closest I'll be is 2 nights in Inverness. From what I can tell there are bus services that go between Inverness and Portree. Trains too, but I think the bus is...
  33. iPhone 7

    Yeah but then i would have to go back into settings to change it between full silence and vibrate only, rather than using just the switch. I did some more digging, it sounds like the lowest level volume for the ringer is practically inaudible, so "close enough". Still don't know why there isn't...
  34. iPhone 7

    Overall I'm liking the phone for the most part but a few annoyances that I fear I can't change. First, is there a way to change the vibration intensity? Second, is there a way to set the phone ringer to silence? On android i could set the phone to normal volume, vibrate, and silence only. On...

    Wow...I want to say how did i miss that, but at the same time i don't recall seeing "Remove the backing" anywhere in the instructions. Thanks!
  36. iPhone 7

    I ended up getting the bestskinever but for the life of me cannot get it to adhere to the phone. I did the water/soap solution, put it on back...and nothing? I have no clue where i went wrong. I may give up and just pick up a case (not sure about the leather one though.
  37. iPhone 7

    Thanks for the feedback. After some more consideration I think I'll just go with the 128gb 7. Primarily for two reasons. One, if I end up not upgrading, might as well have the 7 instead of the 6. Second, as Kazukian mentioned, I assume the 7 will have better resale value. It sounds like a lot of...
  38. iPhone 7

    Yeah, even if those are better on the 7 the 6s will still be much better than what I have. It's not like I would be disappointed with the 6s. Of all the places to cheap out, I chose to do it on the plan. My carrier is lycamobile (piggybacking on t-mobile's network) with effectively unlimited...
  39. iPhone 7

    Not sure if this is worth a new thread so just gonna post here. I'm more or less set on getting a new phone and have decided on iphone. However, I'm waffling between getting the 7 or saving $100 and getting the 6s. I tried both out in store, in short I'm okay with all the potential issues with...
