    Likwid reacted to ulookuglynoob in Is it worth to upgrade from Rx 6600 to Rx 6600XT?   
    well, the 6600xt is noticeably better than the 6600xt. however, it is used, so i'd say that you wait, save up, and get an even better card later. the 6600 should be enough for most games at the moment.

    Likwid reacted to ulookuglynoob in im planning to buy a pc for around 300 usd, is this good?   
    Well the 3200g will work, but not very well. maybe it was good 4 years ago, but not anymore. maybe save up a bit and get a used 5600g for minimum double the performance. It should be fine though.

    Likwid reacted to CoolJosh3k in Lamptron caught mass selling invalid AIDA64 keys   
    Summary
     As I understand it, Lamptron is mass reselling the AIDA64 software as the core component of their products, but they never actually bought the keys they are “reselling”.
    A discovery that is causing issues for many distributors now they know about it and maybe customers too.
     
    Quotes
    My thoughts
     Based on what was said in the video, it sounds like everyone who has bought and used on of the many Lamptron products could face legal issues if they now learn of this, or simply figured it out on their own.
    I find it very interesting that a company can keep doing such an illegal activity at such a scale for so long, while putting anyone they distribute through at major risk of legal trouble.

    Likwid reacted to Alex Atkin UK in Looking for case that fit large 3 slot GPU but not be to big.   
    In my experience, ITX cases that fit a full sized PSU are pretty junk.  I moved to ITX cases that use SFX as they have better designs, such as the MiniNeo S400.

    Nothing similiar to what you are seeing in Firefox. will try Chrome, thanks for information :). HDR is enabled in widnows and works in games and movies.


    EDIT: shows HDR in chrome.

    If you're just learning then you don't even need a GPU to begin with, Google colab should be more than enough. 
     
    Are you also going to use this pc for games? If so, then grab the 3080, otherwise look for an used 3060.

    As @Tan3l6 said Zen 5 will be out later this year, so id either wait til that comes out to purchase that, or wait til that comes out so Zen 4 will drop in price, either way, you'll have slightly better price to performace

    Likwid reacted to OddOod in MSI Tomahawk B450 bios update issues, solid CPU debug/error light, no post   
    Welcome to the forums!
    First, I would like to confirm that you had a cpu cooler on the mobo while it was updating the bios, is that the case?
    Second, try the 3600x. It's possible that the bios update went through and it's just waiting on a new CPU
    Third, it's possible the bios settings are in a weird state. Follow these instructions:

     
    Fourth, it's possible the bios update failed, but is in a recoverable state. Insert the 1600, put your USB stick in the Flash BIOS Port (bottom of the stack closest to the Flash BIOS button) and follow the instructions


     
    Fifth, it's possible I've missed something and you're still safe
    Sixth, it's possible the BIOS update failed in an unrecoverable state and the mobo is bricked

    But it would be hard to convert the pricing as it isn't one to one, when talking about price from one region to another.

    When you upgraded did you move your SSD Over with the same install?
    Or did you wipe and reinstall windows from scratch?

    Likwid reacted to TylerD321 in Can't upgrade Asus A320M-K Mobo to 5600x   
    3200g has integrated graphics whereas the 5600x does not. Do you have your display cables plugged into a GPU?

    Also, when updating the bios you would want to do it with the 3200g installed.

    Likwid reacted to DoctorNick in Need New Ram For My Acer Laptop. Would Some Recommendations & Know What It's Compatibie With   
    Just get whatever 2x32gb sodimm ddr4 3200mhz kit you can get. Most kits are CL22 (JEDEC), and will just be plug in play. Like These for example:

    Likwid reacted to ChrisLoudon in Is my 4090 dying?   
    Yeh, probably best to get an RMA process started asap.
     
    I would still advise doing a little troubleshooting as its always good to have some additional info locked and loaded when some monkey comes back to you and tells you nothing is wrong.
     
    While unlikely, the BIOS flash might have worked perfectly and its just coincidence that your VRAM has $hat the bed.

    Likwid reacted to Jon-Slow in $5000 Build for Dev / Personal Work   
    I would probably ask this question in a community of AI/ML folks that actually do the work you do. They might be able to better guide you towards what parts would be the best use for your money. I wouldn't recommend a prebuilt, and you might not need a 14900KF for what specific purpose you want to use it for. Your usecase might benefit from a cheap processor next to 2 4090s instead, or 2 used 3090s for cheaper. You should probably seek guidance from the type of experts that do exactly what you do, that would probably be a lot more helpful.

    Likwid got a reaction from MiszS in Anything better than 1660 super used   
    I see a lot of rx 6600 / xt go for 140-150 eur where I live, that would get 60-80% more fps than 1660 super
  19. Agree
    Likwid got a reaction from PDifolco in Need some help on choosing a new GPU!   
    My options would be 4070 super (not ti, because costs 10% less than ti (non super) and performs almost he same).
    6950xt would be out of question, too much power consumption.

    Maybe choose between 7900 xt and 4070 ti super, both of these cards performs almost the same (if we exclude dlss and raytracing.)

    I would upgrade cpu to AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and for rest of money get new 1TB nvme.

    NVME will bring back snappiness and CPU upgrade will greatly improve productivity and gaming performance

    EDIT:
    Your currency to Eur was about 390eur
    CPU goes for 250-260 eur , 1TB NVME for 80 eur and rest of money for CPU cooler, probably for deepcool ak620 50 eur
