You're playing a game that is clearly taking about 8GB already. What does the system use when you first start up or let the PC idle without any programs open? That is most likely the rest of the other 8GB being used by the system and other programs. 

Cool clouds, cool godrays, not in love for the foreground. Seems to me you have some decent rocky outcrops on the right? I feel like perhaps if the composition was adjusted and you boost the shadows you could have a stunner of a photo. Or maybe lean into the clouds more with a longer lens/tighter crop.
 

I'm not sure what the hell is going on with this other than they're hoping to scam someone. They immediately accepted my return.
HOW THE HECK DOES AND WHY WOULD A HEAT PIPE GO MISSING FROM THE COOLER! 😧 I'm not even putting this in a slot, not risking a motherboard over it.

Is the BIOS updated to the latest version?

I have visited the state of Colorado. One thing I will caution you, you need money to live out there. Its not cheap. My advice would be look at living expenses. Second piece of advice, try not to take too many student loans if you can help it. Cause student loan debt is no joke.

Admit it, Linus dropped it.

That really sucks to hear it's defective: especially that avatar cooler which looks sick imo. 
 
I cannot believe that AMD won't warranty the card. Maybe @LinusTech can help you out?

exactly, and such beautiful card, I'm not sure if AMD realized how bad publicity stunt it is to refuse something like this

Yep, seems it was the cable. Thanks for the advice!

I haven't been to the flea market in years after COVID and glad I went. Grabbed some good ole' USA made Craftsman wrenches. 

Yup, Windows will try to do uninstall of drivers but always good after migration to check installed apps and remove intel stuff there, also go into Device Manager > View > Show hidden devices
And then uninstall Intel devices and remove drivers there too.

Technically, wiping is the best case scenario to ensure no driver conflict from the previous system on the OS. 
 
However, you should be fine by uninstalling all previous Intel motherboard drivers and installing the new drivers for the AMD motherboard.

No sh!t sherlock, get a 1k$ android phone and watch your argument fall apart. (Id wager even a 500$ android phone would suffice for ~90% of ppl.)

Finally bought some fans for my PC. I fucked up the cable for my stock AIO fans the day I got it when I was desleeving it, and when I took it apart to clean the connector came off sooooo it was time for a replacement. Plus side is these are black instead of having white blades so now the only thing that stands out in my system are the lil A40x20's that cool my SSDs.
 
Now I'm just waiting on CableMod to hurry the fuck up so I can have the correct length 24 pin and EPS cables, and then I'll finally be able to put the side panels back on this thing.

Probably something the theme this site uses doesn't support, because the Invision docs shows it's possible to show the progress bar in the regular desktop view.

You might be able to see something by looking through the grille of the power supply, and through the fan. No need to disassemble it.
