I've been using B since the day after it launched. I'm not qualified to review a bios update (not by a long shot) but nothing blew up! Don't forget to disable the option to download gigabyte stuff though! lol

Windows-p is just a way to change the options for what displays you want to use a little faster than manually selecting them in the display setting of windows. When I am powering off the computer, the television is intentionally disabled, as I do not want it to be a valid display when am not...

I did once, but I have not done that lately. The monitor is the primary (and only) display when the PC gets turned off.

So, I have two displays hooked up to my computer lately. One is a monitor, another is a television. I only use the television for when I am playing a game. The tv is in front of my couch. The monitor is by my desk. (Tv is in a corner of the living room) My card is an asus rog strix oc...

Yeah, honestly I have been looking at keyboards so much lately it was driving me nuts. The main game I play, I honestly think I could really benefit from just four more buttons, and I definitely do NOT want them on the side. Ideally I would want four more buttons right above the 10key area...

logitech g502x plus lightspeed. I first started using this style of mouse with the logitech proteus spectrum and I like it. I don't love it. I do wish the thumb button location was a little different, you have to move your thumb off the "sniper" button in order to use the two other thumb...

Which is why I really debated on whether or not I was going to buy a 4090 and it definitely delayed my purchase of one. It just doesn't make sense to me really...the card can easily exceed that output on a lot of titles...It doesn't make a difference to me now, but I absolutely expect to have...

I really doubt that, but hey this is 2023!

I checked everything I could think of or find online, and could not find an explanation for it. I'm still feeling a little dubious so for the time being when I go to bed at night I'm turning it off and just flipping the switch on the PSU. While I was at it, I disabled wake on lan. SHould be...

Well, a brief update on the f10a bios from gigabyte. I have not had time to further look into the matter, but I have had some strange behavior that I have noticed. Specifically, my computer seems to be turning itself on, even after I have turned it OFF. When I went to bed last night I KNOW I...

Decided to jump from gigabyte's f8 to f10a on my 670e extreme. No complaints with performance or reliability so far. But that whole thing about the eclypsium research discovery of the potential backdoor involved with the download to gigabyte control center seems to have been solved by it...

I did the same because of all the reports that there won't be 5000 series cards until 2025. This way, I can be really pissed when they surprise us all and announce them to be released in q4 of 2023.

I get the desire to want to buy a new GPU. I am struggling with that myself. But, 1080's were amazing. Obviously I don't know when you bought it, but mine is coming up on it's 7th year anniversary. It's just wild. Obviously I'm not playing Cyberpunk in 4k at 300 FPS, but... I just think...

Yeah, I found it in the bios. 1.0.0.6. Gigabyte posted another bios the next day, f9e with the new text as Update AMD AGESA 1.0.0.7 A I commented in a previous post that I wasn't sure what the "e" meant in the bios name, and from what I've read a minute ago anything following F# means it's a...

Obviously I'm not too familiar with this point, but I wonder if gigabyte is meaning they are updating TO 1.0.0.6 or from it. I suspect it is to 1.0.0.6 but I don't know how to verify that. I found some old posts that point to it being displayed in the bios section of cpu-z, and the...

That's like the 8th time this week I've posted something embarrassing. I wonder if I can break my record! I have no idea on the AGESA quandary. I did some googling and I came across this: source is...

So I noticed Gigabyte posted another bios update today. I loaded it. My system is only a few days old so I'm still in that slightly paranoid stage with it, but the timing of when I bought everything didn't help that! It seems like Gigabyte has tried twice now, to curtail people from using...

It was kinda hard to see it (and even harder to get a photo) but hidden behind one of the cables there is a cable layout on the front panel itself that matches the cable. It seems the manual is out of date.

Helpful to know about the "switch" polarity not mattering. But it's still weird the manual doesn't have the same layout as the cable.

So, I am wrapping up finishing my new computer, and the manual doesn't match the actual connectors for the front panel connector. Normally we wouldn't even need to pull out the manual, but some of the connectors do not even specify which is the positive and negative. Normally this is done via...

I have not built my am5 kit yet (probably next Saturday, I'm still waiting for my PSU) but gigabyte's recent bios update that was posted on May 5th (F8E) includes this blurb Follow AMD guidance to limit max. SOC voltage to 1.3V for Ryzen 7000 series X3D and non-X3D CPUs. Certain EXPO/XMP...

Yeah I am hoping that most of the drives will still work by default. I am hoping to set all of them as hot swappable since the case I will be using has easy access to the drives for that purpose. I'm pretty sure in order to select that as an option in the UEFI that the drives must have the...

Wow. Great observation. I'm assuming that I'll have to use the 3.3 cables for at least one of my drives. I'm going to reach out to Seasonic to see if I can purchase another one of the 3.3 cables.

So I'm finally building a new PC. I have 4 shucked drives from WD externals. The PSU I am going to use for the new computer is a seasonic vertex gx1200w. Here is a link to the cables it comes with: https://seasonic.com/vertex-gx#cables Among them are various lengths of sata cables, and I...

I bought the 27gp850b which is a different model than yours, but in the same family. I am having the hardest time getting the color set right. It just looks, off. Especially annoying is some games that I play, certain reflective surfaces are just plain disgusting, and I just can't get a good...

Hmm, this seems like the way to go. I was looking into some other apps like ultramon and whatnot...but the cost seemed prohibitive.

Hello party people, My PC is in my bedroom, and I run cables from it to the living room tv. I spend a lot more time using the television in the living room than I do using the computer at the desk. I recently upgraded from a 1080p tv to a 4k. Prior to the tv upgrade, I used two monitors...

No worries, I've decided to shelve this game. I just don't think it is for me. Thanks for offering!

I just followed you. (On SC my name is Chronophasia) I've been eyeing SC for quite a while, but I really hate the starter ship. I'd love a chance to try some other ships if you're able to assist.

Here's the thing: As far as the bean counters are concerned, I "own" 3 PS3's. I only own one PS4. Three is because I sold the first one, the second one broke, and in a moment of sheer randomness instead of trying to fix it I bought a new one. Since I bought the PS4 I have not plugged in...

If you have 4 2 gig modules of DDR2 800 for sale, I'd really appreciate it! I'd prefer to have shipping done by UPS. Send me a PM or reply here with info about what you have for sale. Thanks!

There's no advantage to installing the HSf for a socket 775 outside of the case or not. While I personally find the mounting system for 775 to be more annoying than others, the push-pin style system does not require weird angles to get at the brackets. But there is also no harm in it, so...

Honestly I'd recommend you just build it yourself. It really is not that hard, even for the first time. Probably the most daunting part for a first timer is putting a heat sink on, especially with socket775 being a little "wierd" but that's really not a big deal at all, because you can...

I used to sell computers day in and day out for a major computer manufacturer. It only took about 3 months for the vista complainers to basically die. And by that, I mean the people who were actually BUYING computers, it only took about 3 months for me to stop seeing them on a regular basis...

Right. It is unfortunate though, that I can't find a high end fan that supports it. Oh well. I guess I am going to just hold off on installing the ultima-90 until I buy a new motherboard. That being said, the 5th anniversary edition of the scythe ninja looks freaking sweet! I regret...

I am assuming then that you removed the 3 pin connector that was on the s-flex and put the wires in the appropriate holes for the 4 pin connector so it would fit? What is the fourth wire for? Power, ground, speed sensor..........fourth = ?

I ordered an ultima-90 from heatsinkfactory.com. The fan I originally wanted, they are out of stock on, and it sounds like it is no longer made. They suggested this fan instead: http://www.heatsinkfactory.com/noctua-nf-p12-1300-120mm-fan.html The fan connector by default is a 3 pin of...

I had a 7600GT and at first bought an Arctic Cooling S2 for it. The holes didn't match up, despite the product information saying it did. (was an xfx card) Make sure it works, I hope yours does if you buy that.
