Still on here but semi-frequently, so sorry for the delay. I don't use Mezzmo anymore, as I went full Kodi. I have a Kodi server and then all my TV's have a PC connected to them which I then run the Kodi client from. I actually haven't used Mezzmo since my last posts in this thread, as I...

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

I got the Unchartered credit for my 5800X that I upgraded to, and would like to give it to my son since I'm not a gamer and he is. He can't activate it since his PC has a 3600X in it, so I was wondering if there's a way to work around the system check when trying to activate it? i.e. can he...

I got one and plopped it into my system, but was hitting the 90 degree thermal limit when encoding via Handbrake. Was getting 4-4.1ghz speeds. The Wraith Spire was good enough for my 2700X so I kept it because it looked good in the case, but had to switch it out for a Peerless Assassin on the...

FYI, this is now $3 cheaper at $41.99
