I doubt it. They’d just sell more to enterprise

I'd personally just go with the cheapest b650 board you can get your hands on. HUB did a good roundup if you want to watch the vid. In…

Well yes, but the 7500f isn’t that cheap anymore and you can get the 8400f for 135aud I just need a cpu to pair with a gpu for ai…

The 8400f is probably worth a look at as well if you're after something to just chuck in AM5

Nah he’s actually right though. Mazda interiors look alright in press photos but I find them pretty cheap feeling up close imo

Thanks. Would prefer nvme but I’m guessing I’ll really need u2 if I want high endurance

Homme on [Prime] G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz AMD EXPO RAM $159.07 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU

You won't get high speeds on 4 sticks. Best bet is 2x32gb CL30/6000. Infinity fabric doesn't like much above 6000 anyway from the reading…

At 123 bucks for the 2tb, it’s worth a roll of the dice. Let’s be clear - if it’s important enough to you then you should be backing…

Got it from the outlet. Was a 'refurb'...most likely a return

Depends on your use case. the S34 will have a higher refresh rate which is better for gaming, but I thought VA's look terribly washed out…

What did you go with? Looking at something similar. Paying 800 for a dashboard view is not a good use of money.

Gaming/productivity focus. Dells Warranty and returns process is best in class, imo
