How long should the 5800X3D last, or AM4 in general for gaming and usability? I am on my 2nd daily driver/gaming build (which has been upgraded a few times already, R5 5600G to R7 5800X3D), but I stuck with FM2 socket from 2012 - 2023 with the A10-5500 to A10-5800K and then A10-6800K, from the integrated all the way up to RX 580 GPU. R7 5800X3D is the maxed-out chip for AM4 right? They are releasing new chips somehow, but they can't outdo the 5800X3D in that socket, right? Like with the FM2 the GPUs got obsolete, so I upgraded them, but it took a long time for the A10 CPUs to really be totally trash, it was running FS2020 at 1080p low/med at 30-45 fps until the motherboard started kicking the bucket.

Did you read the link I posted? I'll repeat... Storage spaces. Not disk management. Works fine on non-server editions of windows.

Sure! I’m not building until closer to Christmas. Just trying to determine a case way in advance of that since that’s the only part I’m hung up on.

Hi all so i posted on the proxmox forum and reddit but got nothing so branching out to here for some help. Please see the post below - log mentioned is here: pastebin Hi all, new to promox and fancied setting up a cluster. 1 node so far and already failing. Apologies for the long post but its adds context. So i got a HP prodesk G3 400 mini - 8GB RAM (to be upgraded), i5-8500t. It should run at least the promox system without vms but im getting an issue with random reboots. So it came with W11 installed and i ran that as a test, web browsing, light gaming etc etc for a good few hours and was fine, pretty solid. So i used the VE iso and rufus, got proxmox installed following a couple of guides (craftcomputing, jimsgarage) and all went smooth. Went to bed and woke up to the pc cooking itself and unresponsive, power cycle and all good. Started messing with containers and a vm all seemed ok, beyond my config of those specific items then the web ui dropped again and the chassis started to warm up. Another power cycle all good. Put W11 back on, left running all day and night, not a hiccup 40c cpu pretty stable all the way through. unraid, appears to also be stable after running for the best part of a day (loaded up the immich docker and let it process over 100k image files as a workout). Put proxmox back on, web ui up and running, did nothing, went to bed, woke up still fine. Loaded the web ui started having a look around and boom, lock up. Checked using ping and was unreachable, then a few minutes later it came back, so i looked around and it might be the realtek 8111 ethernet connection not playing nice. Checked the sys log however and im currently sat at 10 reboots. Ive powered it off now as it wasnt coming back and started to heat up. Id point at hardware but 2 out of 3 OS were fine. Anyway, i couldn't pull the syslog from the drive however this is what was loaded and running the web ui during the few reboots this morning. Any help is much appreciated and the log is attached (trimmed for size) Update: i tried this with the new release of proxmox ve 8.2 but still getting the same behaviour

I have a asrock z370 ib-r board. Will a nvidia geforce rtx 4060 ti 16gb work with that board? Also my old graphics card was a rtx2080 08g.

Xmp? Isn't it different profile for amd

I have been using caps lock key as my push to talk button for discord for a while now. I have the same exact setup, no updates, changes to software or hardware but suddenly my caps lock key has started acting as a toggle instead of a regular key. I.e when i press and hold, instead of it sending 1 signal caps on/ off, it keeps switching between both and I am unable to use it as push to talk key because my mic keeps turning on and off and my sound stutters. I have never seen this behavior before and I havent installed/ changed anything either. I am using windows 11, usb connected keyboard on an HP omen (amd+nvidia) laptop. I do not understand why this started suddenly and what needs to be changed Here are some settings:

agreed.. but tell that to the HP's, dells, and MSI's of this world that have been doing that for as long as windows has been around. all that's happening now is that microsoft would really like a slice of that cake. because within microsoft's corporate structure windows is part of the azure ecosystem. it is essentially seen as an extension to their cloud products. i dont agree with this move at all.. but just so you know, that's why they are doing that. this is VERY valid.. in fact in the early days there was an actual lawsuit over "internet explorer just existing on the platform", and now they're actually hostile takeover-ing your chrome tabs... some applications can be installed within the user profile. they dont touch anything that requires administrator, and they dont affect other users. this 'problem' has existed since the dawn of windows. on that note - on linux you can technically stuff as much garbage into your own profile, and even run stuff as a service the moment you log in without ever needing root... it's just more manual. this might have changed since the last time i've had to do this, but upgrade keys for windows 10 home to pro have existed. they've taken the decision to require TPM, because microsoft products all use TPM for login management. it comes back to the azure thing, and beyond that it's microsoft throwing their weight at hardware vendors (looking at you, HP...) that refused to integrate this actually very interesting security tool into anything not meant for business use. it sucks, it's a horrid decision IMO, but i see why they did it. and hey.. at least it means that turning off TPM is a surefire way to not have sudden windows 11 appear on my machines. it's almost as if google and apple dont want to work well with windows because they have their own operating system to push.. perhaps it's a really good experience with windows phones /s. i've got 6 years of IT experience, serving both regular home users and major businesses.. and i can tell you.. this garbage is why i left IT. microsoft has hit market saturation, and the only thing they can do to grow is sell the same people more products they dont need. i've seen 15 employee businesses rack up $40k/month azure billing for what's essentially just an office suite with some plugins.

I installed them myself today because I couldn't stand seeing the empty cut outs

For the love of god don't use MSI center or Gigabyte center they are both pure snake oil. It makes your pc run slower to if you don't know what you are changing. And don't turn on "game mode" from MSI center, it lowers your CPU clock speed for some reason and makes your game's FPS significantly lower.

Dont bother really. Spend that money on idk 10 lightsabers or something? These things whilst still usable for 1080p gaming totally are just terrible value really.

So bare driver with no cabinet or cross over? It honestly might not be polarity sensitive in regards to sounding different but you want it in the same phase as the rest of the speakers playing. If you have two of them connect both opposite phase and play some in phase out of phase audio test tracks and see which sounds correct then see what sounds correct with the rest of the speakers.

I'm confused, does this have the 7940HS CPU or the 6900HS CPU?

It is very consistent, if it wasn't I would not have posted the topic, my benchmark has been the same ever since my build, what knocked it off it's mark was a graphic driver and now it's back to where it should be. I don't know what your "proper bench mark for testing" is but the one I use is a very good measure, if yours is all over the place then either you are using a different program or your pc is problematic.

I have the ROG Strix XG248Q and sometimes it goes from 240hz to 200hz. For example today after Windows update the refresh rate went to 200hz and the 240hz option disappeared, after I reset the monitor and pc a couple of times it finally showed the 240hz option. Any idea why this is happening and how can I fix it

So what the centre I volunteer at does, but first world mode. It's a general recycling centre but there's an appliances + electronics section that's where I am 3 times a week, collectors... collect things and leave them in the open (plastic bottles, cardboard, tyres, etc.), that's then picked up by people who sort them and send them to the different areas, there's electronic garbage that gets grinded or scrapped for the metals but the good stuff that can be repaired, often using parts from other things that's already there, isn't cut down. What's repaired is then sold or donated, but the donation part requires paperwork as the centre is state-funded, so they need to know if the people we're donating stuff to actually needs it (is poor) or just wants it to resell it. Part of the donation process includes the work, say you get a free stove, you'll need someone that can install it, but if you're dirt poor then you can't afford a pro, well, there's a welder, a gas worker, a plumber and an electrician (me), I also do the painting when restoring appliances or light fittings, we've been getting a ton of linear fluorescent fittings that people throw away, you can't get tubes anymore so I take them apart, repaint if needed and rewire them to take LED retrofit tubes, it's not the ideal thing to do but it gets the job done. Stoves, heaters and anything gas is of course repaired by the gas worker, I can repaint the stuff if they're rusty as hell after the welder patches any holes using scrap metal from the centre. Computers are separate, I get to repair them if possible, otherwise the working parts go in boxes and the dead ones get grinded. What usually works are monitors, keyboards, even some towers that only have a damaged hard drive or dead PSU. I'm allowed to take the PSUs to repair them at home because there's not enough tools or a proper electronics workbench there, same with motors for say fans or oscillating heaters. The building is owned by the state and the collectors get paid for their job, they're also provided a "wagon" and food for their horses, and yes, everything is done by horses like it's 1824, don't worry they're told to take care of the animals by not overloading the wagons, and they're well fed, taken care of by vets and all. Fuel is expensive, roads are unpaved, and not everyone knows how to drive a car, but everyone knows how to ride a horse, so... horses it is.

Thank you everyone for the input I will get a 4070 Super. Thanks again!

Before anyone gets pissed, this is not a defense of bad practices for any company but rather a genuine critique in the loss of quality in the Windows platform. I used to be an avid Windows fan and user (had the phone and everything), I switched to Linux for quite a few years and currently daily drive an M1 MacBook Pro. There are negative practices that Apple and Google both partake in which annoy me to no end (like the complete absence of repairability/upgradability in Apple Products or the spyware that Google's software has become). 1.) Ads/bloatware A paid product should not have sponsored applications installed nor should it install applications without my distinct permission. This kind of behavior is the mentality of a piece of malware. The fact that in Windows the only way I've found to turn it off too is using registry edits is ridiculous. Windows isn't the only ones who do this nor is it the only Microsoft product that does this, but I certainly find it to be the most egregious, especially considering it will reinstall these applications you've removed every other update or so. Also, Microsoft, MY CLIENTS DON'T NEED THE XBOX GAME BAR INSTALLED ON ANY OF THEIR MACHINES, LET ME REMOVE IT!!! 3.) Microsoft Accounts & Office 365 How come Microsoft Accounts are required to set up Windows 11 (I know the work around, but still)? I don't want one, nor do I want to have to set up every machine for my clients with one. Let it go. Apple I'm including you in this one as well because while you'll let me set up a machine without an Apple ID which is better, you still send out annoying reminders occasionally like Windows. Knock it off you two. Also how come an Office 365 Account can't also be a Microsoft Account but a Microsoft Account can also be an Office 365 account? If its an account through you, it's a Microsoft Account and it should behave as such end of story. 3.) Browser switching Stop with the guilt trip about Microsoft Edge! Yes I understand it is more efficient and yes Microsoft, you finally have a decent web browser built in, but people have traditions and platforms they prefer. Stop the guilt tripping, stop the pain in the *ss set up to change the default browser and calm down. Its one button after install to change your default browser in Mac, Mac will still let you know that Safari is better in their opinion, but after that they seem to just let it go, which is how it should be. Linux is even better with this, they'll just let you switch, no guilt tripping, no "this version is better", just a simple switch and done. 4.) Allowing non-administrators to install applications through their application installer I discovered something funny, non-administrator users can install applications on their work PCs for my clients as long as they use the .msix through Application Installer. Why? They're not administrators so they can't install applications on their own. I don't trust them with that power regardless of whether the application is from you or not. 5.) License Upgrading Sometimes machines with Windows Pro aren't available and we will occasionally (only during emergencies like someone is starting and needs a machine immediately) purchase a machine with Windows Home which is more readily available/cheaper for the same spec typically. We will then upgrade the license to Pro so that we can join the machine to the local Active Directory (why isn't this included in Home). To do this we need a Microsoft Account to run the purchase, why can't I just provide the payment details, YOU TAKE MY MONEY AND THEN ASSOCIATE THE LICENSE WITH THE MACHINE AND STFU! 6.) Killing Off Hardware Why are you not allowing some systems to upgrade to Windows 11 that are otherwise perfectly fine? I understand not everything can run, but there are plenty of 6th & 7th gen Intel chips that can run your shitty OS fine enough to merit a client to save a couple bucks in the short term. Plus these machines make for great second hand devices for those who don't have the cash for new hardware, so why not just let them run the OS. It's bad enough they want to use your products but now you have to gate keep them too? I get that some hardware is too old, but I think you're killing off way more than necessary and idk why. Also for those who work around it and get Windows 11 going on unsupported hardware, don't be a dick and put a watermark there, people usually do this to keep hardware they can't afford to replace atm going for just a bit longer. Apple, you're guilty of this too and personally this behavior is unacceptable!!! 7.) Phone Integration Phone Integration on Chrome OS for Android users and iMessage for iOS users is fantastic, Windows for some reason has not been able to get on board. Anytime I've used it or helped clients who use it, its constantly losing access, dropping messages, not getting notifications and the only thing that fixes it is to completely reset it, like what the heck? A lot of these complaints weren't present not too long ago, I actually loved Windows 10 in the beginning. I'm not here to just crap all over Microsoft and talk about how Apple is superior because it's not (title might be a tad click baity). What I want to point out and discuss is that there seems to be a major decrease in the quality of Microsoft Windows releases to the point where right now while I wouldn't by any means state that Apple or Google is king or anything, they're definitely at the moment the better options for most applications in my perspective, and that list of most applications is only growing. They're also less whiney about everything, I think thats what pisses me off the most. I feel like all of Microsoft's products except for Office have been going down the drain lately and it's sad. In WAN show Linus said "you want a hungry Apple" and I could not agree more! I also want a hungry Microsoft, I miss the Microsoft the made the 360 and released Halo 1-3 and was corporate but also a little edgy and willing to take some risks, but ultimately was determined to manufacture quality products despite the hiccups on the path to do so (Windows Vista). I feel like that Microsoft is dead and it's thrown a once life long Microsoft fan into the Apple eco-system. Hopefully it changes. Thanks for reading, I just needed to rant after a long day of dealing with Microsoft BS at work. Xbox is pretty much dead and honestly I'm so close to just liquidating my Xbox stuff and being Nintendo only. Nintendo has their own issues too with the whole emulator nonsense and copyright striking everything with their music, but they at least have exclusives and I don't see ads on the Home Screen of my Switch, I only see them when I go under Nintendo News which makes sense and is fine as long as it stays in there like it has thus far. Windows & Edge have continued to get whinier and whinier guilt tripping you to stay on Edge and begging people to upgrade to their half baked mess of an OS Windows 11 all while shoving Microsoft Accounts down your throat with Teams, using their products feels like talking to a possessive romantic partner whose worried you're going to leave them, its obnoxious. Windows Phone, they just killed it years ago after not putting anymore effort into it despite buying a whole company for like 5 billion dollars (really worried these studio acquisitions are a parallel to what happened with Windows Phone, a last ditch desperate half assed effort)
