    Ryzen 5700X3D for $210

    It's actually $205 now on Amazon as well, an extra $5 off (sold & shipped by Amazon.com) but it looks like delivery takes a few weeks. Worth it IMHO. There is a new seller called EDPT LLC selling for $184.90, I would avoid that as it is most likely a scam.

    Ryzen 5700X3D for $210

    This question can't be answered without more information. How many of your clients direct play (which doesn't really tax the CPU) vs transcode? The files that are being transcoded, what resolution and encoding are they? How many simultaneous streams do you encounter? Does the 3700x get...

    The system cannot find the path specified

    Create a user where the share is being hosted with full read and write permissions to that directory. Create an SMB share of that directory. On the client connecting to it, map a network drive (e.g. Z:\) and select "Connect using different credentials". The folder to map will be...

    Should I use Windows 7?

    I provided links to open source projects on Github. So you can actually see what they're doing in the background... These aren't random programs/scripts made by nefarious parties.

    Should I use Windows 7?

    To what extent are you using consumer Windows as a file server? You obviously aren't doing Active Directory or anything overly advanced or else you would need Windows Server (I know you briefly tried it and said you couldn't figure out permissions?? well that's a basic thing to learn if you're...

    How to install OS from USB when USB legacy support is disabled?

    Just curious- what's your use case for disabling USB legacy support in the first place?

    Should I use Windows 7?

    Why not Linux or FreeBSD? They are so much lighter and have no telemetry/bloat (though this might vary with what Linux distro you choose.)

    Is this SAMA 1000w any good?

    I would buy it for that price. 10 year warranty, sold by the official SAMA store and fulfilled by Newegg. And Newegg is the RMA processor according to this (on the About Us page.) If it was crap, the storefront would have way worse reviews and Newegg wouldn't partner with them in such a manner.

    ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra

    Boycott Asus phones until they allow you to unlock the bootloader. They are dragging their feet and it's absolutely BS you don't have control over a device you purchase that isn't from a carrier. At this point who knows if they will ever allow it...

    Need 16x-8x configuration at same time. Are there any consumer boards?

    Why were you annoyed after you bought the motherboard? You knew very well going into it what the expansion slots were. You didn't even have to look at the manual, simply a picture of the motherboard could do. But I would always suggest looking at the manual before a motherboard purchase...

    Pixel 7 / Pixel 7 Pro / Pixel 7a

    Every Pixel phone I've ever had, I immediately unlock the bootloader. This gives you the freedom to flash any build of Google's Factory Images at any point. I even update them this way, by changing the line in the flash-all.bat from "fastboot flash -w" to "fastboot flash" which avoids wiping...

    Need advice on packing an open box motherboard for a friend

    It's fine to ship it with the CPU installed already. The RAM I would not leave installed. And yea usually the RAM box is small so it should fit fine.

    Nobody wants this except you. Probably an exaggeration but very few people desire this. I don't think you ever responded to this, thoughts?

    MSI ends AMD GPU partnership due to poor sales

    Power Color and Sapphire are definitely the oldest players, XFX wasn't making ATI cards until ~2008. It's a bit disingenuous though to say those companies only make video cards. Sapphire currently also makes AIO CPU coolers and embedded systems (fully assembled or just the motherboard) and...

    HTPC, not for gaming

    There is plenty of content available encoded in AV1, and it's continuing to see growth. If I was buying a new streaming device today and hosting a Plex server, I would 1000% want it to do AV1 decode because transcoding on the server would be very taxing.

    infinite loop no windows 11 pro

    You never mentioned you were using a riser up until this post and having someone else look at it. Temporarily not using a riser to see if you still encounter issues is a basic troubleshooting step. I'm sure that would've been a suggestion from a number of people..... you know, if you had...

    New AMD Mobo BIOS - Update AMD AGESA 1.1.7.0 for Next Generation Ryzen™ processors support.

    Most BIOSes let you take screenshots directly from the BIOS if you have a FAT32 flash drive or whatever plugged in as well ;) IIRC usually DEL or F12 once you're in the BIOS

    Pixel 8 / Pixel 8 Pro / Pixel 8a

    128GB is plenty for you, but you carry around a portable SSD to plug into your car? Doesn't really check out IMHO. If you don't want to rely on streaming music from a service (e.g. Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, whatever) you can host your own media library at home and stream it on the...

    Upgrade my 1080 GTX - What recommendation?

    I wouldn't bother upgrading GPU especially for "non-gaming". Your platform is 10 years old... Personally I think 144/165hz monitors are the sweet spot and I'd just suggest a 1440p with either of those refreshes. You also greatly have to consider panel type e.g. OLED vs IPS vs VA vs TN. So...

    Don't forget RAM too ;) Impossibru! 4770K only supported DDR3.

    Upgrade my 1080 GTX - What recommendation?

    Not really. There is no upgrade path for LGA 1150. 4790k would be sidegrade. 5775C might be compatible with your motherboard but going from that to an already overclocked 4770k would also be a sidegrade.

    2009-era Netgear 54Mbps print server won't connect to modern wifi

    That's a good point. Two people said it worked on Windows 10 on the Amazon page. Might have to add it manually in the add a network printer/device dialogue and use the IP address. You could entirely be right so probably take this with a grain of salt. edit: Oh I overlooked the Amazon AI...

    Anyone ever see this with Ryzen onboard GPU?

    That's interesting, and glad you found out what the issue was. Are you on the latest motherboard BIOS available? Is there a firmware update available for the TP Link WiFi card? It would be a shame to scrap it given it was expensive and it's still probably still a good card. It wouldn't hurt...

    Super Flower 1200W Platinum PSU (with 3 120mm fans bundled): $144.99 @ Newegg

    Yeah for sure. They were actually the OEM of many high quality PSUs from the likes of EVGA and Rosewill (probably others too) in the past. They are somewhat newer (~2020ish???) to actually selling power supplies under the name Super Flower (in North America at least). But with a 10 year...

    Super Flower 1200W Platinum PSU (with 3 120mm fans bundled): $144.99 @ Newegg

    This went up from $144.99 to $159.99, but still includes the 3 free fans. Still a pretty good deal and worth it for someone looking for a PSU.

    Help me plan and buy my next W11 build ($750 ish)

    To get notified of deals, I like Slickdeals. Set alerts for all the different parts you're looking for (e.g. "motherboard", "power supply", "video card", etc...). Also checking the Newegg sale ads occasionally leads to good finds. If you happen to live near a MicroCenter, they do absolutely...

    2009-era Netgear 54Mbps print server won't connect to modern wifi

    The cheapest option might be to just buy a really old access point from eBay or whatever, and have it broadcast a WiFi signal that is compatible (e.g. Wireless B/G/N with WPAv1 encryption). Use a seperate SSID from your main network that way you don't have any clients try to connect to it other...

    Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) freeses

    Nobody really uses the term RDC. You use RDP for hosts that run Windows, you can use SSH for things that don't need a GUI (perhaps Linux VMs), or you can use VNC for graphical user interfaces for all non Windows VMs. You'll have to set up the necessary config in each VM itself. But when the...

    New AMD Mobo BIOS - Update AMD AGESA 1.1.7.0 for Next Generation Ryzen™ processors support.

    Probably the difference in the CPU cache, or maybe two CCD can pull off higher memory bandwidth than a single CCD part. Or maybe Asrock has a better BIOS ;)

    It's freezing locally and it's freezing more often over ZeroTier outside the LAN. I wouldn't suggest just switching the OS from Windows to Windows Server in an attempt to fix this. Event viewer was good to start but if you didn't find anything... What are the full specs of the server? Can it...
