True i'm old school i guess haha

Give it a go in a VM

Actually i found a way around it lol What i did was this reenable the internet for a second and then finally something lights up on the next bar and then disable the internet again Not kidding though with the internet 100% off you can't even restart the OS from that screen without physically doing it from the power button I would have to try it on actual hardware as yes the OS can tell when its in a VM or not Microsoft mentioned this in their developer-thread but its interesting

When clicking around there is NO WAY to go past that screen it will simply stay their until you connect to the internet in which you can continue your install.

Give me a min and i will show it myself in a VM i'm already on the latest dev build but i'm running pro and its not a issue in pro So what i'm going to do is disable the network in VMware for Windows 11 during the whole install and i will pick Windows 11 Home edition in the settings

The reasons for the minimum requirements have ZERO connection with ANYTHING related to performance its PURELY security based.

It does not

So i would like to hear from you guys about this i plan on using Pro myself but for people here a yes or no or please add more if you want to the question which is again Do you care about Microsoft requiring you to have a Hotmail account and enter it into W11 before it even hits the desktop for the first time Secondly if you want Are you comfortable having a online account at ALL times when you own 11 home edition? Edit Also note no for the home edition unplugging the internet will not work you MUST be connected to even hit the desktop for the first time and log into windows. I'm not even saying this is bad or good just want to know what people here think. Actually might donate money on a Wan show and see if Linus will ask people this. https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/24/22548480/windows-11-home-internet-connection-set-up "Windows 11 Home edition requires internet connectivity and a Microsoft account to complete device setup on first use."

I would say that you should take a look at your min too not just the average. I can tell you for darn sure that upgrading from ivy to Zen 3 is a MAJOR upgrade you just have to find the games you should be getting way more FPS with that CPU compared to ivy.

Yes that is even fine but make sure its stable also why even do this at all? The odds of having a bad CPU is extremely slim and the ram will boot just fine at 2133mhz and you own a x570 board.

I logged in and i haven't been on in weeks just to make sure that you DO NOT power on that 550$ CPU for even a few min without some kind of cooler i don't even care if you have a cheapo one on their at least do something do not let it on without one please.

Frequency means absolutely nothing without IPC figures. You can get a FX 5ghz CPU and it will perform like a 2Ghz 3700x lol.

It's much bigger then the 3000 series as now all 8 cores per chiplet can communicate without having to go through the infinity fabric one thing people forget is its also more expensive to make vs having 2 4 cores glued together now its a full 8 cores per chiplet 50$ isn't much to be honest for a 20%+ improvement in gaming i do feel like the 8 core is priced a bit to much however but hey whatever. Not sure why people think Amd is supposed to be the cheap brand when they have better performance in EVERYTHING basically but some AVX workloads.

I can't seem to find that many comparisons of these two pairs i currently own the AKG K7XX from a few years ago the deal was just so good but i always found them to be kind of laid back compared to other AKG cans and the bass seems a bit boomy at times i have this paired with the ODAC+O2 and i would like to know if there's someone in here who had a chance to listen to both of these and can compare them to me. I see they are just 330$ and for that i think they are worth it. I read 2 threads at Head-Fi the K712 thread and the K7XX thread and found maybe a few comparisons at best took me days(400 pages each). I gather that some say they sound the same others say the K712 pro is better. I wish i could go out and listen to them each lol. Please do not recommend sennheiser they make amazing headphones but their sound signature is not for me i prefer a little tiny bit more treble not DT880 level but more so then sennheiser
