I'm here. Tone-deaf attitude? "brutal" "disdain" "look at me" - wow. All that because I recycled a 15 year old case and a motherboard and everyone started pooping on me?
I feel like you read into my post how you want to narrate it - can't stop you.
Disappointing that a post really meant...
Well, how many people with a compatible motherboard are using something weaker?
Anything in the 2xxx and above will be faster for most other things than the 1700.
I guess my question could be construed with an obvious "sell it" - and maybe if it was a 3/5xxx series I could see doing that.

I was just throwing out an old Antec case / guts - I even left an ASUS B350 mobo in it.

My main box, a 5700G, is my daily work machine and driver... never turned off (but I do use sleep on it. Hmm. I did replace the Gigabyte mobo with an Asus because...
A random crash every 4-7 days would be driving me absolutely nuts - if you've swapped P/S, motherboard and RAM... what else is there?
Software?
If you could afford / borrow a second machine to test these pieces in it might help narrow it down.
If its a missions critical machine (business)...

You've been pretty AMD-centric the last couple of years ( for good reason ) - and because of that, I was hoping to hear your take on the new Intel stuff.
