Solved! Dark Rock Pro 4 with Ryzen 9 3900X.

Yeah I have been very busy also. One of the people who I do work for has the Houston Health Department all over her. Long list of repairs to her establishment has had me working 7 days a week for a month now with light just appearing at the end of the tunnel. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving...

Question Internal USB card that has headers for USB C and USB 3.0

I have the Tuf Gaming X570 wifi, with a Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh RGB. Lian-Li sells a USB C cable as a add on for the case and a PW-INC1TR USB 3.1 (Type-C) to USB 3.0 (20 pin) adapter for $30.00...Found a couple of solutions neither allowing for 10 GB/s...Syba USB 3.0...Option 2. Less expensive...

Question Which motherboard would you choose?

My advice is to buy a motherboard with the USB C header, 2 USB 3.0, 2 ARGB and 2 RGB's. I really did not think of doing the RGB/ARGB hustle...Yeah right...Spent twice as much on fan's, 3 diffused LED light strips, SATA powered fan header, ARGB and RGB splitter's than I did on the case...Hook...

Question VRM: How to identify GOOD and BAD mobo's?

Little information would be helpful...Intel or AMD...Do you plan on overclocking...maybe even specific upgrade path...what is it's intended purpose. How much you have in your motherboard budget...If it is a existing computer list all components.

Question Which case is better?

Might check out the Lian-Li Lancool ii Mesh...Build quality is outstanding as usual from Lian-Li...Tempered glass doors on both side. Just the covers on the right side to hide all the cables is worth the price of admission for me. Lian-Li Lancool ii The versatility of the case has option after...

Question Which case should I buy?

I can give you some advice on problems I encountered. I have never done RGB or ARGB before this build. The Asus Tuf Gaming X570 seemed like a good choice for a sub $200.00 dollar board and it is. The Lancool ii comes in several different flavors. I chose the RGB version. There is a front panel...

Question Which case should I buy?

I would suggest you look at the Lian-Li Lancool ii Mesh...the build quality with Lain-Li is second to none in my opinion. Hard for me to imagine getting a case of this quality for $90.00... Just the cover's on the back right side make it worth the price of admission. I have 8 fans mounted in...

Info Found an old hardware price sheet from ?? (2001 ??) You won't believe it. The CPU prices especially !

Yeah I took it on the chin when I just had to have the Athlon X2 4800+ the minute a vendor here in Houston got their first batch in. Ouch !!! My wallet is still squawking about all that business.

Question Antec Dark League DF600 FLUX, Mid Tower ATX Gaming Case, Tempered Glass Side Panel, USB3.0 x 2, 360 mm Radiator Support, F-LUX Platform, 3 x 120 mm AR

Gotta admit that is a lot of case for money. The DF600 for 75 bones and the DF502 for 70 duckies have bang for the buck in spades. Here are a couple of pics on one of the reasons I recommend the Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh. Missed something on my first post the Tuf Gaming Pro has 1 internal USB C...

I purchased the Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh RGB and it really is a amazing case...especially considering it was $89.00...just the covers on the back side of the case make it worth the price of admission. Never built a computer using RGB and ARGB...Bought three of the BoraLite and 6 of the SL 120 Uni...

Question Is this a new Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT

MacDonald Carey saying, “like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.” Well the video card roller coaster ride continues. Now I am wondering if I should save $60.00 by getting the Powercolor Red Devil RX 5700 non XT version for $380.00 or the Red Devil RX 5700 XT for...

Question Is this a new Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT

The Asus Evo RX 5700 showed up at one of the online vendors for $309.00 so I jumped on it...then low and behold Asus dropped the dual fan EVO RX 5700 XT with "new and improved heatsink"... Asus does not even have the non XT version listed on their site. Dual RX5700 XT The plan was to buy an...

Question Video card protection plan from the big two online vendors.

I purchased a ASUS AMD Radeon RX 5700 Overclocked 8G GDDR6 Dual Fan EVO Edition and returned it without opening the box it was shipped in. I requested a "In Store Credit" and will be getting the Powercolor Red Devil RX 5700 XT. I am considering purchasing the "Protection Plan". Usually I do not...
