3050. As @IgniVellex pointed out, more VRAM is a benefit for VR. Additionally, the 3050 supports DLSS for many VR games, which the 1660s does not.

MacOS still has the best audio capabilities. I’ve never heard of any sort other operating system comparing. I run MacOS for music production and truthfully I can’t switch.

Thats basically every decent b450 or x570 board. 

considering my windows last time it attempted to install new updates "couldn't finish the updates" and bootlooped 3 days in a row I am not excited

get a pair of studio headphones and a mod mic. Better audio quality for the money, and you get a microphone. In the range of 250euro, sennheiser and audio technica have good options.

Sounds really cool but cloudflare seems to have an issue with the images, and I cannot see it 😕

Differences that I can see:
ROG mobo has 2 full x16 slots (not that you can use both at 16 anyway)
ROG mobo has 2 pcie gen4 m.2 ports where as the other motherboard has only 1 at gen 4 speed
The ROG motherboard has more ports on the back including dual 2.5g lan instead of single 2.5g aswell as two high speed usb c ports
ROG also has a thunderbolt header on the motherboard/'

Considering you are using a 10600k, I would assume most of these features are not ones that you need, and so the TUF motherboard should be fine, but if any of these features are a must-have then you have your decision. They are both very similar, but the expansion options on the ROG board are much better.
 

When it comes to cables, audio especially, it often makes sense to pay a little extra for quality. Bad audio cables can cause problems and so its important that the ones that you have are high quality.

What about emo girl Linus?

I hope you enjoy it then.

Overwatch does this too. The theory is that it provides a competitive advantage, which is stupid because they don’t cap high refresh rate monitors or faster actuating keyboards. Really does stink

How do I delete someone else's post?

so I should move ?

Sounds to me like either a bad cable or a bad port. If you have a second cable it might be worth it to try it out, if it’s a dead port, you might want to get the board returned.

Enabling base clock overclocking on non-K Comet Lake chips.

ASRock's Base Frequency Boost (BFB) Technology, which is innate to the brand's latest Intel 400-series motherboards, will allow consumers to overclock the base clock on locked Intel 10th Generation Comet Lake processors, even with non-Z series motherboards, as per a leaked slide shared by VideoCardz.
Intel didn't mention anything about base clock overclocking on non-Z Comet Lake CPUs in its announcement today, so ASRock's solution is likely a proprietary workaround. Technically, it's possible that Intel could eventually disable the ASRock feature with a firmware update; however, this would be a bit odd since CPUs are still running within Intel specifications even if they're using ASRock BFB. 
  The specifics around ASRock's BFB technology is a mystery for the time being. From what we can gather from the leaked PowerPoint slide, the motherboard vendor is essentially increasing the processor's PL1 (power level 1) from the default value to the maximum value and locking it at the higher value. In ASRock's example, the 65W Comet Lake CPUs operate as if though they were 125W models.
 
Model Cores / Threads Base Clock (GHz) ASRock BFB (GHz) Boost Clock (GHz) All-Core Boost Clock (GHz) TDP (W) Intel Core i9-10900 10 / 20 2.8 3.7 5.2 4.5 65 Intel Core i7-10700 8 / 16 2.9 3.9 4.8 4.6 65 Intel Core i5-10600 6 / 12 3.3 4.1 4.8 4.4 65 Intel Core i5-10500 6 / 12 3.1 4.2 4.5 4.2 65 Intel Core i5-10400 6 / 12 2.9 4.0 4.3 4.0 65  
A higher TDP limit means more breathing room and, in return, would allow a non-K Comet Lake processor to run at a higher base frequency. Of course, that also implicates a higher power consumption and more heat, so your CPU cooler will ultimately dictate whether you can hit the higher base clock speeds.
According to the slide, ASRock BFB won't produce the same level of uplift on all Comet Lake processors. The increase in base clock speeds will reportedly vary from 800 MHz to 1,100 MHz, depending on the model of the processor. There's no information clarifying whether BFB is an automatic algorithm that decides on an optimal frequency or if the user would have some type of control over it.
Overall, ASRock's Base Frequency Boost looks like it would be a pretty neat feature to have. It'll be interesting to see if other motherboard manufacturers will offer a similar solution.

Pretty much the only thing you could do without another properly functioning power supply is a visual inspection. 

I have a friend with an nzxt case where his panel spontaneously exploded while he was across the room. Not even touching it. His incident ended up scratching every component of the build, and upon calling up nzxt support he got a new case. I wonder if I can get some photos to continue the “random glass of explosions” thread. Lol
