I sold off all my gaming gear and don't benefit at all from the advantages of this CPU anymore. Looking to trade for a 5950X. Never overclocked or messed with. I have nearly 20 years of heatware under Budwise

Anyone else update to the latest 1.51 with Agesa 1.1.0.0 and setting a manual vCore? Since upgrading if I set a manual vcore to say Override of 1.3v, it boots to 1.3v but under all core load like Cinebench the voltage drops to 1.1ish and clocks plummet to 3.5Ghz or so. If I set an Offset of...

It's an SG110.

Never installed it.

Yep, got their latest drivers. Still wish it had a plain ole Intel Gigabit. This is a good example of bs marketing bringing down a product in quality, not up. If they stayed with a solid Intel NIC the average Joe would look at the mobo and the competitors and think it's a downgrade despite...

AMD and XMP don't fare well together. Just download Ryzen Dram Calculator and use that to get your values and you'll be good to go.

Not old, but a simple unmanaged Cisco. It did negotiate to 1000 baseT.

Yep, I bypassed and went though a Dlink DGS-1100 and it works fine. I replaced the Cisco with another Dlink and all is fine. I guess whatever Realtek is doing is not compatible with all switches...

Disregard. Found out my Cisco switch and this Realtek don't play nice. Still not thrilled with having a Realtek NIC for the first time in 20 years.

And here's with a USB-C Gigabit adapter

I got this system up and running a week or so ago and this is my only issue. I get full download speeds but upload speed is terrible. I have Google Fiber and also transfer large files across my LAN and both show really bad upload speeds, in the less than 100 Megabit range. Download speeds are...

Every generation brings some changes in general so it's not really a good idea to make generalities about them before release. I've been building for 20+ years and the brands I've used have varied through the years. Asus has always been a go-to but since they raised the entry level price of...
