Thanks. I wasn't feeling great about it, either. Seemed a bit shady. I steered her in another direction.

I have a friend who is looking for an affordable WiFi mesh system for her house and she sent me a link to a good deal on Amazon. Trouble is, I've never heard of Rockspace before. Anyone know if they're any good? If she gets it, is this going to be a case of "There's a reason it was so cheap"?

Holy shit, why is it at 95C? That's doesn't seem right, I'd be checking other things first before resorting to undervolting. I don't think I've ever seen my 3800X go higher than mid-70s.

I didn't even have to do that. I just showed up at Micro Center on Christmas Eve Day around 11:30am. I was on my way to my parent's house which takes me about a 2 mile detour to go to MC. Figured I'd stop by because earlier in the morning I noticed they said they had about 20 of the EVGA 3080 FTW3's in stock. When I got there the website wasn't showing sold out, just limited stock so I figured it was worth a shot. Unfortunately, all the EVGA's were gone but they had 1 Asus TUF OC 3080 left in the case that the guy said literally came in on the truck about 15 min before I arrived at the store. I was like "I will take it!" I'm usually an EVGA guy but the Asus TUF was definitely my 2nd choice so I wasn't going to pass it up. So the moral of my story is "be freaking lucky"

Right click on the desktop, go to Display Settings, then down at the bottom click on "Graphics Settings"

Check Disk Management to see if the drive shows up there. Might just be a drive letter conflict.

That's a shame, they used to be one of the best manufacturers. I think MaximumPC used their PSUs for their annual Dream Machine almost every year.

Anyone know if PC Power & Cooling is still any good? I know they got bought out a few years back, not sure if that changed their build quality at all. I'm still rocking one of their Silencer 900's. Been going strong for over 10 years.

Can anyone ELI5 what "Strobing" is? I see it on the spreadsheet but no explanation of what it is. It looks like it's good for a monitor to have strobing, based on the Yes being green.

Yep, bricked my first X370 board doing a BIOS update from Windows. Luckily, Amazon didn't ask any questions and sent me a new one. Have always done BIOS updates from inside the BIOS ever since.

Thanks!

I'm usually an EVGA guy, but I'd love to check out Zotac and see how they are!
