  1. I purchased a 7800X3D and Asus B650A WiFi yesterday with a kit of Gskill Flare X5 DDR5 6000 CL30 memory. Everything was just fine until today when I updated the BIOS. Now the system will not POST with the memory set to 6000mhz in the BIOS. It will only post with the RAM speed set to auto. I also tried rolling back a BIOS version and issue persists. I am using 2 sticks of RAM and they are in A2 and B2 as they should. Anyone have any idea why the system worked just fine with the RAM at 6000mhz before the update but now it does not afterwards?
  2. I just installed an Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO onto my RTX 4090, however I am running into a problem. I am not sure that the pump is functioning. The light for the GeForce logo is on, however there is not noticable pump noise when I put my ear up to the pump. There also is 0 vibration when I feel the pump. Also visibly it looks like no water is flowing. My temps are also very bad, quickly getting to beyond my Aircooled temps within a few minuts and the radiator and backplate of the card are scalding hot. I have set the fan header in my BIOS to 100% that contains the pump but seems like no luck. Any idea what could be going on?
  3. What are some good closed headphones which prioritize vocals?

    I use the M50X right now and have decided to buy another one for around the same price or less

  4. I am really wanting to pick up a Zephyrus G14, but my issue is I would like more than 16gb of RAM. The problem is that I can only find 3 different configurations of the G14 for sale anywhere online for the MSRP prices, which is Best Buy, and all of them have 8gb of soldered RAM. I could go to 24 to 40gb of RAM, but the problem is that as most of us know, AMD Ryzen CPUs benefit massively from dual channel memory, so going above 16gb means I would not be running in dual channel. Is there really no configurations of this laptop out there with 16gb of RAM soldered on? I have seen some things that say they are coming out with these configurations later, but nothing concrete. Also does anyone know why Best Buy seems to be the only retailer carrying the G14? Also I am not opposed to something besides the G14, but I really wanted that 4900HS and I don't see anything out yet with the 4900H.
  5. I can't believe after all this time you keep the Elegant Euphonia profile pic. :)

     

    Question for a pro audiophile: if you had $200 to spend on a pair of headphones with decent mid/high clarity and soundstage, what would you pick? I've been stumped by the insane variety of headphones at this price point.

  6. This computer has Q Code B6 and it seems USB storage devices aren’t working and the PC is running quite slow. The PC also won’t turn off when I power down Windows. I already updated the BIOS and cleared the CMOS. Looking in the manual I don’t see this code. Any ideas?

  8. It is worse battery life. Smaller battery than iPhone 11 Pro Max with higher resolution, 90Hz, more power hungry CPU, and worse Android power management = worse battery life. This “review” is so biased it’s not even funny. You mention things that are hits against the iPhone that are either untrue or irrelevant. Then your ignore almost all the things I pointed out.
  9. So you review the 7T Pro against them 11 Pro Max and never have tired either phone.
  10. Also this is extremely biased. How is the One Plus the most out of your smartphone? With that compared to the 11 Pro Max I get, worse battery life, less color accurate screen, no wireless charging, no IP rating, slower CPU and Storage, worse camera, and more.
  11. What??? No it’s not. Every reviewer every year complains about how lackluster One Plus cameras are compared to actual flagships. BTW for you claiming this review is unbiased there is some massive obvious bias like that eBay price shit that’s 100000% irrelevant.
  12. According to who? That would be a very minority opinion even among Android fans.
