My fix to the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT was that I was running an old Windows 10 ISO, I just downloaded the most recent one and no problems since then. Even opted in the Insider's program to get the very latest build.

It's the square one, that's compatible with the H60 2nd gen (top screws?) and not the 1st gen (side screws) If it'd help you out I'd definitely do it though

Ugh, bought an AM4 bracket for my Corsair H60 cooler from long ago (1st gen). Come to find out they made a 2nd gen H60 cooler and this bracket doesn't fit. Whatever, I'm fine with the stock cooler I guess. Companies: Call your shit something else if it's incompatible with the old stuff.

I finally have mine up and running, 1700 with MSI Tomahawk B350. The major issue I ran into was that I was using an old Windows 10 ISO. Windows would freeze within 10 minutes of boot and I had no idea why. Finally joined the Insider's program and got the latest version, working like a charm.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they'll resolve all of these RAM incompatibilities and speed problems soon and we'll see the true nature of the beast at standard RAM frequencies above 3000Mhz, which is where the platform really shines.

I went with 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX (3200MHz) but will likely need to downclock them until memory support is more universal in new BIOS releases.

I bit the bullet and am getting a 1700 with an MSI Tomahawk B350. This is coming from an Ivy Bridge Xeon 1.8GHz, so I'm hoping for a nice jump in performance.

I am also torn between a new build involving the Ryzen 1700 or a high end Intel chip. This would be a Mobo+RAM+CPU combo build, everything else is taken care of. I'm currently running a Frankenstein (virtual machine in ESXi with PCI-Passthru video+sound on an Ivy Bridge Xeon) and I can play...

I'm with you, if I was going to play I'd need a ELI5 wiki before I started

I second OBS. I also broadcast on Steam now (participate in the beta program to do so) and it works very well.

HNNNNGGG why after Christmas and I'm in the middle of moving and house down payments HNNNGG bad timing :( Nice deal!

Good.

Online wallets were always a bad idea. But no one listened...

There's a way to setup an L2L VPN with one static and one dynamic IP, but you must initiate the VPN handshake from the dynamic IP source.
