The timeless answer to this question consists of: Is your system underperforming? If so. Upgrade. If not, there is no need to upgrade. CS2 is not a hard game to drive. I see no benefit for you in an upgrade.

I'm unable to confirm if it's the same error every time because of how fast the crash screen disappears, but the two or three times I have seen it, it has been that Crirical Process. I didn't realize it until you asked, but I am presented with a GRUB load screen when powering the system on. I'm new to the Linux world (as in, about 10 days in to my first distro, which is why I picked Bazzite - to keep myself from doing something stupid and making a mess of things), which is why i'm dual booting currently. Still very new to the platform, and excessively limited on knowledge. The drives intermittently aren't visible in the UEFI, but that's usually after a crash, without a shutdown, and it's sporadic as to which drive(s) aren't visible. The installs are on different drives, one is a Crucial 500gb drive with about 18TB of writes on it, the other is a new Samsung 990 with only about 30GB of writes to it (Bazzite, plus a little tinkering that I've done) All the drives involved are NVMe. The only SATA drive that I have anymore is an old 2.5" OCZ Agility 3 90GB drive with a legacy install of Windows 7 for some old work compatibility. I'm unable to get into Windows currently, I can't keep it stable enough for it to repair itself. The only events that it presented when I was able to check were those Kernel power loss All the WHEA-like logging that i'm able to find with Linux don't show anything particularly concerning, though i'm not entirely sure if there's specific terminal operations that would be more relevant here.

First off, it's been several years since I've been around, I've been out of the PC space (gaming in general) since very shortly after completing the build that's been giving me trouble (4080 is new relative to the build). Looking to get back in, but i'm having some troubles: Let me know what (if any) additional information you need. R7 5800x, X570 Aorus Master (F39b), Corsair RM1000x (2024), 4080 Super The problem: Intermittently, randomly, and unpredictably, I have PCIe connection problems. The issue has been occurring the last three days. It exists across Windows 10, Bazzite, and unintentionally Windows 11. Likely coincidental, but the issue arose after my system force updated itself to Windows 11 when it had the opportunity to after an urgent call in to work. This issue has newly appeared over the last three days. The symptoms: Intermittently, the BIOS will fail to recognize one, or multiple drives including the boot drives for both Windows 10 (subsequently 11, until downgraded) and Bazzite. When successfully booted, Windows will intermittently bluescreen with about a total of 1/6 of a second to read the error code (genuinely). The few times I have been able to capture the error code, it simply reads "Critical_Process_Died". Event Viewer does not produce any relevant reports, other than a kernel-power shutdown. When in Bazzite, system will randomly shut down and enter UEFI, with the drives inaccesible. Sometimes restarting the system will restore the drives, sometimes it takes multiple restarts, and sometimes I have to clear CMOS to get them back up. When attempting to access secondary drives in either OS, it will randomly soft lock Windows (as in it becomes completely unresponsive to any and all inputs, but the OS is still "active", or cause Bazzite to reboot. The kicker: I'm currently running Bazzite off of an external m.2 dock through USB-C. It's been stable orders of magnitude longer than when running through my PCIe - NVME card or through the board mounted M.2 slots (5+ hours stable, currently). I'm currently unable to access my Windows boot drive as the multiple unexpected shutdowns have (presumably) corrupted the bootloader, and I can't keep the system stable enough for recovery to diagnose and repair the drive. My initial thoughs were the PCIe controller on it's way out, but the stability when run through type C makes me think otherwise, as the GPU is still using those lanes, and if I've read my manual correctly, the type C port that i'm using should be through the chipset, while the GPU is direct to CPU. Any suggestions on where to start, or thoughts on other problems? Any input is genuinely appreciated.

Looking to update from a CM600 that's sitting in front of a Unifi network in order to take advantage of the modern world. The CM600 exists from a time where Spectrum capped out at 200/10 in my area. The current entry level plan now consists of nothing less than 600/20. Spectrum has me listed as capping out a 480 down, though I'm currently running about half that - averaging 209/11 with a peak of 217/12 over the last 30 days), I've a tech appointment scheduled for this coming Wednesday to investigate that issue further. Looking to stay away from the Puma chipset for reasons obvious, however I know just enough to get myself into trouble when it comes to networking. Some of the options considered: Netgear CM1100 Arris SB8200 Motorola MB8600 Thoughts or considerations? Any additional options to consider? As always, any input is always appreciated!

it shouldn't give you much issue. I did much the same back when I had my 4790k. I did have to manually enable the iGPU in UEFI settings to get it to work, however. It may or may not be 100% plug-and-play in that regard.

AMD's Zen 4 is shortly around the corner. If you're absolutely adamant about the best of the best, wait it out. Realistically, a 5800x3D is competing for top CPU for gaming right now. it will be plenty capable for many years to come. It carries a reasonably heavy price tag though. A standard 5800x, or even a 5600x is plenty capable. Again, both of these will also be plenty capable for years to come. As far as GPU goes, realistically, the upper limit of RTX 3000 generation value-for-performance is the 3080. The 3080Ti, 3090, and 3090Ti all carry an ever increasing premium for an ever diminishing return on investment. Based upon the statement "high fps and 0 bottle neck", I think you need to understand how computers work. No matter the combination of components, you will have a bottleneck somewhere. There is no combination of hardware that exists today which will run in perfect parity. It's also a lot more complex than, as I said, "bigger number is more gooder". A high clock speed and loose timings on a memory set can negatively impact you over a lower clock speed with tighter timings. You also have to take into consideration infinity fabric timings, as they will play a role in limiting memory performance as well. I think you've some additional research and understanding that you need to do before you build your "dream" gaming system, least you buy components that actively diminish your experience whilst also costing more at the same time. I've no right to tell you what yo do with your money, however "most money = best" is a thoroughly foolish stance. Equally as foolish to act upon. Making intelligent, informed decisions is how you spend your money wisely.

Very first thing I think you need to to is take a step back and understand what you're building. To me it looks like you're falling for the classic "bigger number is more gooder". It is not. That 5950x very specifically in most situations offers no advantage. In some situations, it's actively a negative. In all situations, it's significantly overpriced for what you're getting out of it for a gaming rig. Much the same for the 3090ti. You're paying a very heavy premium for an underwhelming performance uplift. Now, with both of those out of the way, 4400 and 3800 are going to operate fairly similarly for a gaming rig. Both are outside the JEDEC rated speeds, and will require increased voltage. A quality board will be able to handle the added stress, however do note that any overclocking and particularly overvolting are added stress, heat, and wear and tear over time.

If your current system is insufficient for your needs, replace it. If it's not, don't. If it's some other limiting factor (I.E. running single channel 4GB RAM), improve it. That's ultimately what it boils down to. If you wait "just a little bit longer" because the "next generation is coming" you will, quite literally, be running your 7300hq for the rest of your life. What's releasing with next generation is in some regards, already outdated. The platform that will replace it, and the platform that will replace the platform that will replace it (I.E. two generations ahead) are already in the works, very likely further down the line are at some stage of development as well. Yes, AM4 is EOL, however I would not expect to see revolutionary gains with the first generation on AM5 (does it have an official designation yet?). You're also going to see an early adopter premium that will come with it. my 5800x is plenty capable, and I see no reason to believe that it's going to be earmarked as insufficient any time soon.

It signifies that it's a shortcut to the actual destination of the file. The only way I know to remove it involves a registry workaround, which is done at your own risk. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-get-rid-shortcut-arrows-windows-10

It's not coming from Amazon, it's a marketplace item, so all of the above are projected estimations based upon the location of the actual item in relation to how far it is away from you. Expect January 20-February 15'th to be your projected delivery window with any option. It may well arrive far sooner than that, however. The "usually ships" line is the general time-frame that it takes the seller to dispatch the item from their possession to whichever parcel carrier they use, not how long it will take to arrive at your door.

It's not much of an opinion there. In it's current iteration (with note that we're evolving towards a more month-long sales capture), the Black part translates, quite literally, to retailers making it out of the red zone. Sales on outgoing models, old new stock that didn't sell as expected are the first to hit the chopping block to meet that transition into positive revenue. For retailers that generally operate in the black as a whole, it's purely a day to move old stock to make room for incoming products. They may also have special "editions" of popular selling items (with stripped down features, lowering cost, and subsequent retail price for the illusion of a good deal) specifically built for Black Friday "deals". It's commonplace with TV's, or at least it was last time I was looking, which admittedly has been about a decade ago. Black Friday has a couple of distinct different meanings throughout history, but it's current iteration is, generally speaking, to move old stock.

Largely because "why not?" They have a market that will buy them. Generically speaking: The Titan series fit in the gap between gaming and workstation. They offer top-tier gaming performance, at a cost that makes it a very poor value proposition, however on the workstation front, they offer a decreased workstation performance platform at a lower level cost. If you fall in that gap above gaming performance, but below a multi-thousand dollar workstation card, the titan makes sense. work during the day, play games at night.

If the ISP isn't providing one, you may need to contact them and/or check their website for supported modem models. It's entirely possible that there are VDSL modems that they don't actively support. VDSL isn't in widespread use as it has fairly strict range limitations, choices are fairly limited.
