Amazing.

I do it about every 2 years or so. Whenever I "feel" things are clogged up. Most likely unnecessary.

I did do an in-place upgrade with an ISO many times because windows update keep having errors and not completing the upgrade. But it still carries over all the old apps and settings. I have a lot of registry macros that load in all my custom settings quickly. I think if you have a local account only, in-place upgrades don't ask you to make an online account.
 
System is fully updated, configured and fully functional! My first Ryzen system is ready to go!

All that remains is tidying up the cables, which I tend to half ass until I'm certain everything works.

Holy smokes, is this a typo?? 9900X for $309 at Amazon?? 9950X for $499? WTF!?!

*EDIT, sold by Shijun shop, not Amazon. Its so cheap that I would take a chance regardless. It should be covered by Amazon, this page is literally the only one that comes up when searching 9900X.

*EDIT 2, deleted the picture, Amazon took down the listing apparently. I dont understand how they cant vet their vendors better to prevent things like that from happening.

Scam.

Yet another dumb thing Amazon has inculcated in the masses. Idiocy like this deserves to be punished, not protected.

If Amazon allows it to appear on their site, looking very authenticly like its from Amazon, they should be responsible for it if someone gets screwed over by purchasing it. It was indistinguishable from the legit item other than the fulfilled by part. Apparently they took it down, now it shows $409 and $594 (9950X) and fulfilled by Amazon.
 
Always hit the Prime filter.

The scammers are even redirecting to the manufacturers web page. My experience was Sapphire.
 
Finally found out what was causing my FFXIV game to stutter like it was running in 30fps despite it indicating it was running at the 60fps I limited it to. It turns out a Windows setting called "optimizations for windowed games" was the culprit, though according to reports from others it's due to hardware acceleration scheduling. Weird. It doesn't seem to impact ff16 however, so turned off optimizations only for 14.

I was poking around in the bios and saw that Ryzen has its own kind of "turbo" by disabling the second ccd and smt. Is it worth it toggle when most of my games are only using about 6 of my processors' 16 threads?

For reasons I haven't yet been able to determine, the machine restarts soon after I turn off my display. At first I thought it was an energy saver feature but I made sure to disable them. My next thought it was the power settings pertaining to sleep/hibernate/turn off displays but they're all set to Never. A google search suggests a problem with drivers. But that can't be right, can it?

Boy just when you think a new system is completely configured it's like there's always these little issues to ironed out for weeks after the fact...

What? Not with your 9800X3D.
 
Is it an actual reboot? Do you hear the beep (if you have a MB speaker)?

Or it just requires you to log in?
