    Question Patriot Viper Steel 64GB physically doesn't fit ASUS TUF Gaming X570 motherboard

    I recently decided to upgrade my ASUS TUF Gaming Plus X570 with more RAM. I bought the Patriot Viper Steel 64GB (2x32) DDR4. When I tried to boot the computer, it wasn't starting up and the DRAM error light was on. After some investigation I found that the heatsink on the RAM is slanted and...

    Have you try changing the serial number on one of them? Or maybe the product id.

    The anti-crypto thread

    If apple has that much money, they wouldn't have gone to China for the cheap labor to save money.

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    You can try even older firmware. I use 1.23.9, but my chip doesn't have "-CG" so it might brick. You can also try disabling power save modes.

    ETH is designed to be mined by GPUs. The GPU is the ETH "ASIC".

    The anti-crypto thread

    There is no way a laptop can be used to mine more cost efficiently than a regular desktop GPU. The GPU in a laptop is nerfed by nature of being in a laptop. Also, miners would be paying for a bunch of stuff that doesn't contribute to mining (a display, RAM, keyboard, mouse, cpu, MB -- the...

    The anti-crypto thread

    With GPU prices going over 200% MSRP, how much of that increase do you contribute to crypto mining and how much of that do you think it's caused by other factors? I'm betting substantial of the increase is caused by mining. And miners buying gaming laptops just to mine is stupid. I doubt it's...

    Question Upgrade soon, or wait?

    I'm not sure if you'll gain a lot seeing this video: The 9900K is about the same gaming performance as the AMD 5800x. I don't think it's worth the money to upgrade everything at this point. If I were you, I would upgrade to 9900K if that difference in framerate bothers me. 16GB should be...

    Question Nvidia's Best Buy GPU drop results in brawls and crowd control measures.

    It seems to me that scalping GPU is much less work than a min wage job. And while waiting, scalpers just be on the phone.

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    I have transferred 100GB data into my drive, and it's fine after updating the firmware. I installed Ubuntu and Windows 10 with the adaptor to run them as portable OS, and both work fine as well.

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    The adapter might be defective. Or you can try an earlier version of the firmware. The one I upgraded to is 1.23.9

    Question Scalping is bad, mmmm'k Newegg?

    But the question becomes, why participate in the Shuffle? You can buy it at ebay, and you're guarantee to get it if you want it at that price. I think GPUs are not for gaming any more. It's for mining. If you want to game you use a console. I blame Vitalik Buterin.
