By Zabojnik Go To PostThis is why you buy Intel. It just works.This shit just worked on my previous MSI motherboard. =/
Having a similar issue trying to play PSO2. Except it just does not appear to like virtualization turned on at all? I don't fucking know and am very annoyed. Again, it was working with the same BIOS settings on my MSI board! Though part of the reformat did put me on the newest version of Windows so maybe there is something happening there, too.
Or maybe I'm just going insane and didn't have hardware virtualization turned on in my previous build. I really don't know anymore and I feel like my own memories are gaslighting me.
You should give Intel shit for the lack of price and feature parity compared to AMD. Overclocking is still locked to Z boards and K CPUs, even memory overclocking is locked to Z boards.
The price disparity between a 3600X and a 10600K too is a joke, as is the 3800X and 10700K, 3900X and 10900K and so on.
Giving them shit for being on 14nm though? Meh. I'd like to see them get a handle on things so that power draw isn't so high comparatively, but Intel's 14nm+++++++++ is still really competitive in performance until you get to the 3900X and 3950X, where AMD just run away with multithreaded performance. Though AMD on 7nm hasn't really pushed performance forwards for games, they're still behind or just about equal depending on the title despite the node advantage.

Looks like I won't be buying MSI or Asus for my gaming PC later this year. MSI because fuck them for not helping me as I would have liked and Asus for not letting me use Argus Monitor for full fan control.

Gigabyte's boards have gotten better over the last few years too, dunno what their BIOS is like though.
ASRock's BIOS is pretty iffy tbh.
Way late on responses but

Very well could be, will do some extensive testing.
Yea, figured I'd have to get service over to look at it. Will update when I do.
Definitely have for various reasons.
By Smokey Go To PostYou should be getting close to what you pay for. 300 is way too off base on a 1000 plan, especially for ethernet. That kind of drop is what you'd expect when using wifi. Probably need to have them check your line or get away from their provided equipment.
Fuk
By syrenity now! Go To PostWhat service is that? Getting 300mbps on a 1gbps plan doesn't make sense. I'm on a 250mbps plan and get ~200 through wifi.
Might be your modem.

By Kibner Go To PostAgreed with Sy and Smokey on this. They either didn't enable something correctly on their end or there is a hardware issue (that is likely also their fault).

By diehard Go To Postthis might be dumb but have you done a power cycle of your modem since the speed increase?
Definitely have for various reasons.
By Elliott Go To PostHave a desk and chair on the way. It has begun.Excellent. What did you end up getting? I won't be offended if you got something other than what I suggested because we all have different needs and preferences. :)
By Kibner Go To PostExcellent. What did you end up getting? I won't be offended if you got something other than what I suggested because we all have different needs and preferences. :)Haha, no worries. Ya'll have been really gracious about helping and I've pored over your suggestions these past couple of days.
For the desk, while I would've loved the Jarvis, the space I'm using just won't accommodate its depth, so I had to go for something with slightly shorter dimensions. I ended up landing on the Origami RDE-01, which will fit the space better and also has a bottom shelf where I can sit the rig rather than have to buy a seperate stand.
Scratch that, I found a website for a local office supplies store and they had a refurbished Haworth Zody for 250. Will pick it up in the morning after I cancel the Hyken.
Concessions were made for one reason or another, but I think (I hope) once they get here and everything is set up, I'll feel I made the right choices.
Oh, and if it makes you feel better, I've got a Kinesis mouse and split keyboard in the Amazon shopping cart as we speak ;) I figured the learning curve for the latter wouldn't be quite as dramatic since I've gamed almost exclusively on console up until now and don't have a point of reference.
That Zody came up a lot in my searches for economic chairs, so it should be a good one. I have to look up that Origami desk as I have not heard of that one!
Don't forget to order the lift kit with the keyboard. It makes a hell of a difference. Still kinda shocked you went for it but I love mine. :)

By Zabojnik Go To PostCan you really call yourself a gamer with a mouse that weighs 100g though?It's a cheap enough mouse that if they decide they don't like it, no harm done but I get ya. Lol
By Elliott Go To PostI'd be lying if I said brand synergy wasn't a factor in my decision.One of the best things about both those products is that they don't require you to have any always-running software to customize them.
The keyboard stores its configuration application (if you need/want to use it) in the keyboard's internal memory. You access it like a thumbdrive, basically. It also has configuration files you can edit in notepad if you don't want to use the GUI app or the on-board commands that don't require anything other than the keyboard being plugged into a PC.
The mouse has some things you can do just by holding down some buttons while you plug it in, but there is also software for it. You can install it, make the changes you want, and uninstall because everything is saved on the mouse itself. Means you can take it to other machines with the same settings intact.

That's pretty cool. I will probably get something similar (but nowhere near as badass) for my home server since the mobo only has two nvme m.2 slots and I'm going to need more storage than that. It has three PCIe x16 slots that can all run at PCIe 4.0 x8 at the same time in addition to one m.2 that runs at 4.0 x4 and a second at 4.0 x2. Add to that four SATA ports for physical storage and I should be good to go.
Will probably need to run one of those x16 slots with a GPU in it, though, since the CPU I am likely to get for it will not have video built-in. Still, two other x16 slots running at those speeds I listed above in addition to the other nvme drives should give enough SSD storage for my purposes.

Got a Herman Miller Embody dropped off at my house from work. Put a request in for a chair but was not expecting that.
By Smokey Go To PostGot a Herman Miller Embody dropped off at my house from work. Put a request in for a chair but was not expecting that.They value you to get you that chair. Not sure there is a better ergonomic chair in the typical office chair form factor.
By Kibner Go To PostThey value you to get you that chair. Not sure there is a better ergonomic chair in the typical office chair form factor.I swear by my humanscale but Herman is alrite.
Congrats Smokey.
By batong_doicare Go To PostI swear by my humanscale but Herman is alrite.I understand. This is a pretty honest review of my current chair and reflects my opinions on it pretty well:
Congrats Smokey.
tldw: allows for a multitude of seating positions; works well with standing desks (especially with optional footring); encourages you to move every few minutes because it can get uncomfortable if you stay in the same position too long and your body gets fatigued
e: it works for me because i can't sit still in the most comfortable of chairs, anyway, and am always sitting in weird positions which this chair happens to support
my sitting habits are fuking terrible, so something that naturally allows me lean forward sounds interesting, but i'd need to know if it can be a health benefit or if it just encourages bad habits
Diehard, is the documentation for enterprise motherboards as poor as it is for consumer ones? Bios options that don't match, vague descriptions, etc.
Is their an objective advantage for choosing one switch type over another or is it mostly down to preference? I'm watching a bunch of comparison videos and the general sentiment seems to be clicky for typing, linear for gaming, and tactile for both. Going off that information I'd normally lean tactile, however, the sound profile of the clicky just tickles something in my brain that makes it really endearing.

If so, just get tactile. Clicky ones are fucking LOUD.
By Kibner Go To PostI understand. This is a pretty honest review of my current chair and reflects my opinions on it pretty well:That looks...interesting. A chair is supposed to support your natural S curve of the spine and for you to not compress it but too much sitting puts pressure as well (especially on your hips) so anything that promotes movement like that (especially lateral movement) is a plus. For me, I alternate between my chair and height adjustable desk quite a lot too to stay active.

There's no advantage to one over the other. I've tried clicky blues, linear reds and tactile brown and purple switches. The latter are the best for me, but I'd say just try them all out. You can get a switch tester with a variety of switches to get a good feel for them, and you can also get hot-swappable boards that'll allow you to change the switches whenever you want.
The only tangible advantages are minor. Linear switches are easier to double-tap/repeatedly press because their is no actuation point you need to overcome for the press to register. However, you may not always have a good sense of when the switch has been pressed down far enough, leading to typos and bottoming out the switch when typing (which can lead to fatigue),
Tactile and clicky both have that actuation point and you can feel when you overcome it, which gives your body another sense to use to tell when a key has been pressed (sight on the monitor and now touch on the switch).
Clicky adds one more sense for your body to take advantage of and that's hearing (duh). Clicky switches also tend to take slightly more actuation force so they feel stiffer and can lead to fatigue quicker.
You should definitely get a switch tester like Vape recommended because the "advantages" are really small and personal preference (and what who you live with can tolerate) are much more important.

I definitely don't recommend it to most people. It works for me, though. And, yeah, my desk is a Jarvis so I go between sitting and standing a good bit, too, though I could spend more time standing, just to stretch a bit.
By syrenity now! Go To PostEvery time I see a Phantex P400 there is a toy in front of the optional drive bays. They really should've just put some SSD mounts in there.
By HonestVapes Go To PostI don't trust anybody that puts a toy, plushie or figurine inside their PC.Or anywhere else really.
By Elliott Go To PostIs that supposed to be a flex regarding their cooling?Nah, just a weeb.
