Stop updating so damn much o.o You should not need to do that. Unless you are having issues, what exactly is the point of doing this? Most of the time these fixes are for known bugs and or QOL and other fixes. But unless you are having those issues, you dont need to keep constantly doing that.

This is what each of those firmware did for my desktop motherboard...

1. Improve GPU compatibility for GeForce RTX 40 series. (upgraded to 40 series, might not have needed it but it was nice to have before I had to find out I did.)

 AGESA Combo V2 PI 1.2.0.8 (addressing a 2 security vulnerabilities in relation to my CPU)

 AGESA Combo V2 PI 1.2.0.B ("INCEPTION")

Patch UEFI LogoFail vulnerabilities. NVD - CVE-2023-40238 (nist.gov)

I know I don't need to, but I like keeping my devices updated.

I bought a framework in 2022, impulsively upgraded to the 12th gen board. While they have released 2x beta releases they have yet to release a full update. The only "official" bios is the launch firmware, it's nearly been 2 years.
 

I know I'm not the typical consumer, I bookmark firmware pages and check them regularly. My motherboard from 2019 had a firmware update as recently as last month. The fact that my laptop has only had 2 beta firmwares in the span of time my motherboard had 2x betas and 4 full releases is such a bummer.

I'm starting to keep a look out for my next device, Which manufacturer is the most diligent with keeping their firmware updated?

Literally doing the same thing, I wanted a separate device because I get notification fatigue and swipe away before I read everything.

I was planning on using an old laptop I have that is missing the display (long dumb story) and a usb-c touchscreen monitor to set something up with I'm thinking MagicMirror²? not finalized yet.

I'm planning to revamp our audio setup, currently use a modmic on my headphones and my wife has a headset.

We're limited on space so a typical mic arm isn't going to fit with out desks. I had the idea of mounting them just under our monitors since we already talk while facing them.

Does anything like this pre-exist or will I need to be making custom parts?

With hardware that old, maybe Debian is a good option for you.

I'd recommend pop if on newer hardware, since System76 sells desktops and laptops their inclined to work harder for new hardware.

Otherwise anything Ubuntu based is best for beginners because anything you search help wise for Ubuntu typically still applies and makes finding solutions to any issues easier. 

I bought windows 7 OEM with my first PC build, since then, Microsoft has been offering free upgrades.
They've let me keep activating it with any re-install.

Quick edit

I'm on 11 with the same key today. Though I also run linux and have been slowly spending more time there because of my job.

Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5, I'd say go for better thermal paste, I'd recommend thermal grizzly

I disagree and think you'll be fine with a U12S

if blender supports cuda, then I disagree with them recommending AMD cards. I workfor a linux SI and we sell a lot of nvidia because they prefer CUDA.

Doesn't seem like you're forgetting anything.

23.95 €, that is a dirt cheap PSU, alongside the fake 85Plus rating Spotty pointed out, there is a good chance that that it isn't even 550W

I played yesterday day the display just blacked but computer was still running

This usually isn't a sign of over heating, you'd first start lagging while getting thermal throttle, then your PC would just shut off if it wasn't cooling down.

The fact that it's still on sounds like your GPU wasn't getting enough power to me. Now the high temp could be from a weird temp monitor, or just a poorly mounted cooler that you just never realized.

I'd recommend investing is a better PSU, 650W+ The PSU isn't a part to cheap out on since it's the life blood of your PC, and good ones aren't that expensive in comparison to other parts.

Re-seating your CPU cooler if you're comfortable with that.

 maybe look into getting a used i7 4770K or i7 4790K from Ebay, it's your choice though. Just think about it. 

Honestly you'd save money buying a used 4790k and end up with similar performance. You'd have to get new RAM as well z97 was the last to be DDR3, you'd have to upgrade to DDR4 ram as well with the 9400f

yeah it is. It should, though you could grab a "Last Call" magni 3 if you're really worried about power output for cheaper

are you on 1080 or 1440?

Honestly, this seems about right, if anything it isn't that much lower than benchmarks but that's to be expected in multiplayer.

I have an intel hd 620 and i want to upgrade to intel uhd 620, is it worth it for a laptop.

No, also those are integrated, it wouldn't be an "Upgrade" as it's part of the CPU die, the HD is from Kaby Lake, UHD is Kaby Lake-Refresh. at most you're looking at a 1-2fps improvement.

here is one with a lower target price,

That looks perfectly fine to me if you can afford that. between my 3 links if you can mix and match some stuff to afford it it you should be good.

This is what I came up with, but if a 5700, 3700 and x570 is 1225, then 1900 usd target might not be a good one to aim for if your prices aren't actually equivalent, I can aim lower for like 1200-1500 if that's the case.

Also I'd recommend Nvidia over AMD if you're streaming because NVENC is better speed and quality wise than AMF/VCE especially if you have to go for an r5 over an r7 since if you're streaming x264 lower than medium then you'll get a better stream with nvenc.

Just the PC for now sire.

But if you can please include Peripherals, please do so.

Thank you.

For just gaming?

$1,900 = PHP 100,000.

Since building here in PHP cost a lot.

So I will just use $ instead of PHP, for it would hurt less.

LOL alright, I was assuming he was asking country to figure out which currency since more than the US uses $. Do you need peripherals included like mouse monitor keyboard, or just the PC?

I was gonna say that a shit CPU would be like 1,300 php and you wouldn't have anything left for a motherboard. lol

Yeah Bsod is blue screen.

System hang is when the system is unresponsive. Have you ever just left it and waited to see if it ever came back or if it actually blue screens?

1,900 Philippine peso equals

37.40 United States Dollar

Are you looking for USD or PHP?

I'm having a hard time imagining what you even could get for that unless PCs are just dirt cheap there..

My pc freezes on both stress tests and games.

 

I don't know how it's called but my windows freezes and i have to force the reboot.

Have you tried waiting to see if it's just a system hang or if you eventually get a bsod?

you could upgrade to a 4690k and it would be a decent upgrade, getting a 3700x would be a huge upgrade.

I say go for it, the FX line was a big disappointment, especially since it's a fake 8 core.

(I have XMP enabled so it should be fine)

With XMP it still runs at the lowest rated kit, so everything is still at 2133.

Stress tests or actual games? I've had better luck finding unstable overclocks with games over stress tests.( I know you aren't overclocking)

Is it BSOD, or shutting off?

and the sounds stops when I unplug the HDMI from either the card or monitor. Any thoughts?

Right click the speaker icon in system tray, Open Sound Settings > On the side where it says "Related Settings" click "Sound Control Panel" and disable Nvidia audio devices.

Alternatively you can go to Device manager and disable NVIDIA High Definition Audio, and NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device under Sound, Video, and Game controllers.

Considering the monitor isn't plugged into the motherboard it shouldn't actually be a motherboard issue unless it's noise from the PCIe slot power somehow being transferred to the monitor speakers, if the monitor has no speakers then I got nothing and this was all pointless  You could also try turning the volume off on the monitor?

you should re-enable turbo boost. These are clocks within spec setting a manual clock speed above base clock is considered overclocking if you didn't tweak voltage to accommodate, or left it on auto weird shit can happen. So please set that back to default.

You have a weird mix of ram speeds, However, the 3000MHz and 2400Mhz kits are not running at those speeds as mixed RAM will always run at the lowest rated kit, in your case they're all at 2133MHz. (also usually above 2133* they don't run at those speeds if you don't enable XMP   *Maybe 2400 as well) There could be weird shit happening with the mix.

Are you blue screening, or is it just shutting off? If it is only happening when gaming it sounds more likely that it's your GPU causing the crash not your CPU.

Windows actually has a better built in tool for figuring out why your system is crashing with Event Viewer. Get your pc to crash and pay attention to the time, then go into event viewer and take a look at Windows Logs/System, or Application either could have clues to the cause. 

So I would recommend resetting your CPU settings to default. Take out the 2133 and 3000MHz ram sticks so your just have the 2400MHz, try gaming like that to get a crash. If you do crash go ahead and put them back in, If you have an older GPU or know someone that will let you borrow theirs for a day try that and try to get it to crash again to rule that out. Pay attention to fan noise, I had random crashing in games a year ago and it turned out to be my PSU overheating and shutting off. 

This should rule out most hardware related crashes so good luck!
