I read that jump to am5 is not worthy yet, just want to get the most for the money.

Sorry forgot to mention. MSI x570 and 32gb 3600mhz.

Also this today:

That would be a dream of mine LOL! I'm a giant fan of him because I watched like all his videos because i was very interesed. Yeah, thanks for all the support! What can I do now?

Not sure if other brands have the same thing since I've not updated since 8th gen. But on my z790 gigabyte board I have ddr5 booster and xmp options has anyone tried with results to make it a better option over xmp? With xmp 1 I can run my memory at the rated spec 5600 38,40,40,40,something else But with ddr5 booster it just shows loads of options. Presumably just a bunch of default settings rated for each memory brand(Samsung ,hynix micron) If anyone does use this over xmp what should I use for 32gb 2x16gb sticks. The 16g option or the 32g option? Are the settings for each per stick or total ram, who knows it's not very clear. But they do have fairly different timings for each In the settings gigabyte also shows some bars basically saying well this is the default, but you could get upto something like 7000mhz with a nice large bar. But I'm not sure if that's calculated or just a bar they show everyone for any memory if it's even worth bothering with since there's a few conflicting reports that ddr5 speed doesn't really affect much overall anyway 1-2 FPS more in games maybe

Where do you find the switches, keycaps, and diy stuff? Do you also have to buy the lubing station or is that helpful/optional? Ill look into that, but I still kind of want to still assemble the thing myself, you know? Thanks for helping out so much

Brand means nothing. If you buy a cheap product from a well known brand, it's not going to be any better than a cheap product from a lesser known brand. I'd go by reviews of specific products, rather than who made the product.

Or your freedom... If it's too good to be true it probably is. So, if the cops come knocking and you got a deal where you should have known better, you can go to jail for trading stolen merchandise. You can't claim good faith if it is too low a price, and in this case OP is already suspicious of something may be wrong.

You got it. Sorry to hear about the inconvenience but at least it's giving you an LED indicator though sometimes a bent pin in the respective area of the CPU that's tied to another component can flag an LED for that part. This is extremely misleading but also rare. Haven't had it happen to me but I've heard it's possible. Worse comes to worse, we start a gofund me to call upon the Almighty Linus himself to fix your PC on YT! Lol wouldn't that be something. But this seems like it'll be a quick easy fix one the point of failure is properly identified!

If you don't already have a B550/X570 motherboard with a decent 2x16GB kit of RAM, I'd just leave your AM4 platform as it is and jump to AM5.

Why dont you upgrade to AM5 now with the 7800X3D? That will be an incredible performance uplift, I am saying this because you say you have 'no budget'

Boys! Add me to the group of the biggest dummies ever. Turns out I set the "Limit the number of simultaneous users to" to 2. I thought this wouldn't be an issue since I was the only one testing everything. But my laptop and phone must have taken those connections even after I quit the app or turned off the screen... didn't see that one coming smh I was doing some other testing and I was about to add another user to my system and test more. So I disconnected the server from my laptop in preparation, came to my gaming PC and everything started working just fine. I increased the number and all my devices can access the folder shares and everything across the VLANs (all clients on default to NAS) at the same time. I'm a fucking idiot sometimes. But at least I didn't give up! Thank you guys for the suggestions and discussion. @leadeater thank you for suggesting I try to map it again. Without that error message I wouldn't have pushed my brain to think about users. So I figured out how it came to that conclusion

Hi! I've got a r7 2700 with a rtx 3070. I plan to do one last upgrade on the CPU but still don't know which one. The 5600x is around 140€, 5700x is 175€, the 5800x around 200€, the 5700x3d is 260€ and the 5800x3d is 300€. Should I get the 5600x for a couple years and then upgrade to am5 or go all out and get the 5800x3d? I play 1080p but plan to switch to 1440p in the future. Im not on the budget, I just don't want to wast money.Thank you!

For most people they're definitely the better choice. I'm spoiled by the extra RTX features though.

Thank you so much!

I tried with a different PCI-E cable from my power supply and it didn't work. I also made sure that the 24 pin, CPU cable so on were good and it didn't work either. Thank you for your help!

Pretty sure that kit is more there so they don't have to bin it, so the savings are from that lack of binning and lack of the extra customer support associated with XMP. Still, 6000 CL30 should work on every kit, you might just need a bit more voltage than some of the XMP kits out there (I.E. 1.4V rather than 1.35)

like most things, it can range from easy to very tedious. Lubricating switches and springs can affect the sound, but you need to dedicate a couple hours to do it since it's for every key. But there are people like Hipyo Tech who use various masking tapes and various types of foam

Keep me posted, reply or shoot me a DM so I'm notified. I empathize with these types of situations.. whenever it would happen to me, my stomach gets sick and I can't let it go until the fix is found lol. We'll get ya there bud

Soldering isn't necessary anymore since DIY kits (and most decent keyboards) use PCBs with sockets for hot-swappable switches. If it was early 2010's, you'd be soldering switches and diodes. Cheap switches are ~$20, good switches are $60-$100 Cheap keycaps are ~$20, good keycaps can be $300 Cheap DIY kits are like $50,, good kits start at like $150 Then you also want to buy springs, and a lubing station (~$20 for cheap) Other the other hand, you can simply try to find like the cheapest possible hot-swappable keyboards on Amazon This Keychron C2 is probably a good starting point for you since it's already black and white. https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-Mechanical-Keyboard-Hot-swappable-Backlight/dp/B08CN9TWJK/

Even more to $690 if you apply the promo code I feel like AMD are killing it in the GPU space for gamers but their market share with them only being 19% last year in Q4, though they were only 12% in Q4 or 22'
