  1. Hello, I recently built a pc using the Gigabyte C301 as the case. However, it appears the rgb controller that came with the case is DOA. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a replacement for it, or a different one that has the ability to be controlled with the button on the case instead of software? I am trying to reach out to support now but given the comments ive seen online, im not too hopeful. Thanks for any help!
  2. Are there any good thunderbolt hubs that only have USB ports? Ive been looking but I can only find docks with some USB and other things I dont really need.
  3. I am looking for a cooler for a Ryzen 7 7700x (which I may try to overclock) and I am trying to figure out the best option. Which of these are better, or is there something else at a similar price point that might be better suited for this? Case is a Gigabyte C301 Glass. Thanks!
  4. So it would be safe to say the Ryzen 7 7700x would have TPM 2.0? I still cant find any reference online or on AMD's page.
  5. Does the X670 AORUS Elite AX have TPM 2.0 built in or will I have to buy the gigabyte tpm card? I saw there was a header for the card but I would have thought it would have been built in?
  6. I have always used Nvidia GPU's because I never really had a reason to go AMD. However, as I am looking for a new GPU it appears the 7900XTX is several hundred dollars cheaper than the RTX4080. My question is which is the better choice? I currently have a 1440p 165hz display and am planning to upgrade the rest of my pc so there shouldnt be any bottlenecks.
  7. This Behringer is what both I and one of my buddies use. It works exactly as advertised, though there is not anything special about it. It is a great choice for XLR mics if you dont want to spend a lot of money.
  8. Is there any particular reason you replace the Corsair 4000D as the case? I noticed the new case you selected doesnt accommodate both hard drives.
  9. What is the advantage of this over the 4080, im not too familiar with AMD cards as I have only ever used Nvidia?
  10. Hello, im just looking for some feedback on this parts list. Budget (including currency): 2500-3000$ USD, though cheaper is better Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly for games, occasionally do some light video editing. Other details: Here is the list of parts that I will be purchasing, notes below: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8T9L8r Notes: MicroCenter currently has a bundle deal with this CPU and RAM basically giving me the RAM for around 30$, which is why it is CL36 even though it is easy to find this exact RAM at CL32 for the same price. For the Motherboard, I do like it because it has support for a Thunderbolt add-in card, which is something I would consider using in the future, but im not locked to it if there is a good reason to switch. I do have a 500gb and a 2tb M.2 drives from an old build I will be using, one for boot and the other for fast storage. I dont always have access to fast internet which is why the large HDDs. I also was looking at picking up these fans, they look cool and I dont have to do individual wiring for each of them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LQ9FKKJ/?coliid=I3RSEUDAN83BUL&colid=ZL8PNCBH24W4&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 Thank you to anyone who leaves any feedback, I really appreciate it. EDIT: Based on very helpful feedback, this is the current part list I have. Still not sure about the AMD GPU but it is 200$ less than the Nvidia card so maybe ill try AMD for a change. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RB2L8r
  11. Looking at getting some washers for my Motherboard screws (Like the ones in Hoffman's Intel Upgrade) because I like the way they look. I checked CableMod but they have 2 sizes, M3.5 and M4. Which of these, if either, would fit a motherboard screw?
  12. Update: I ended up having to reinstall Windows 11. Pretty sure a Windows update borked something.
  13. By next gen, do you mean the 40-series, because I have heard the rumors.
  14. Hello, I am looking at a GPU upgrade and was concerned that my PSU was not powerful enough. I have a Corsair RM850x. I have not decided which specific GPU I want but it will be a 3080. The EVGA FTW3 Ultra is being considered. Am I in trouble or is my PSU good enough?
  15. Yeah I forgot eBay existed, thanks!
  16. Completely forgot to check eBay, thanks!
  17. Cheapest 1070 I can find is 360$, way over budget...
  18. Would it matter that my motherboard only has PCIE Gen 3?
  19. Core i7 8700 with a AsRock B365M Pro 4, so Gen 3
  20. Hello, Ive been looking for a GPU thats around 200$. Ive looked at both the 6500XT and the 970. It seems that the 6500XT has better performance and features, however it seems to be really negative when it comes to reviews. Am I missing something? If anyone has any better suggestions than what I have, please let me know. Thanks!
  21. I saw something referencing ChimeraOS. When I looked it up it looked exactly the same as SteamOS. Is it any better?
  22. Hello, Ive been trying to find a good couch gaming OS that I can interact with using a controller. I was excited to try SteamOS but it was buggy and kept freezing so now im back to the drawing board. Does anyone have any suggestions? This isnt going on my main pc so im not worried about other PC functionality. Thanks!
  23. Both the headphones and transmitter support AptX LL
