  1. Thanks. That's unfortunate to hear, but I was expecting that to be the answer.
  2. I haven't built a computer in awhile, and am a little out of practice. I've assisted my friends with building their computers through the years, but I'm getting a little nervous this time around (you'll see why) I ordered my first round of parts while I wait for Ryzen & Nvidia bring in more stock. I intend to have all the parts by the end of January. My intended build: Case: Lian Li Dynamic XL (RECEIVED) Motherboard: MSI X570 Creation (RECEIVED) https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRESTIGE-X570-CREATION CPU: AMD Ryzen 5950X (PENDING) CPU Cooler: EK 360 RGB (RECEIVED) RAM: 128GB 3400 kit (PENDING) SSD: M.2 (PENDING) Power Supply: EVGA 1000 (RECEIVED) Graphics Card: RTX 3080 (PENDING) Its come to my attention that my motherboard probably doesn't natively support the Ryzen 5000 series without a bios update. I've always been under the impression that a motherboard needs a CPU to update the BIOS. Do I need a CPU to do the BIOS update? Do I need to buy a cheap, older Ryzen 2000/3000 CPU to update the bios to support the 5950x? The motherboard has no display output. Can I slap an old graphics card so I can see it post/update the bios? I see something about a M-Flash Bios Update in the manual, but it doesn't mention whether I needs a CPU or not. Anyone that can answer my questions and calm my nerves would be appreciated.
  3. SQL is a standard language for relational database management system (RDBMS). MySQL is an open source RDBMS with its own dialect of the language controlled by Oracle. PostgreSQL is an open source RDBMS with its own dialect of the language. Sql Server is Microsoft's RDBMS and using the T-SQL proprietary dialect of SQL. SQLite has a SQL dialect but it is flat file based. I think its useful for development or a program that needs a local, light weight database; however, it wouldn't be useful for concurrent users. When you get started, download a sample database. Sql Server has Adventure Works sample database. When developing you want to use the standard SQL as much as possible. Don't pull out the nifty features out of that particular implementation unless you have to. It makes your code and knowledge more transferable.
  4. I think you're doing your search in reverse. Instead of asking what case is best, look at all the cases and find ones you like then determine if you can find any information about space for your cooling solution.
  5. You can't go wrong with either, but I would consider Ducky as being higher build quality. If higher quality RGB software outweighs build quality, then k70 would be the way to go.
  6. Would it be an issue to just delete and create a new database?
