  • I’ve seen a bunch of people recommend this and I’ve played around with it a bit since they initially added frame gen to Lossless Scaling. It never feels smooth. There’s always some stutter/jitter in the frames that makes it feel terrible, even when it’s “100+ fps”. Definitely feels worse than a native 60. Also worse than AMDs fluid motion frames option which does feel and look smoother. I leave it installed and come back from time to time to see if it’s improved but it’s just not something I’ve found to be enjoyable or an improvement to my gaming experience.



  • Like the others said, double check your connections. It’s easy to accidentally not plug something in all the way. Also, an extra preinstalled standoff wouldn’t be out of the question and I have had that happen, would be worth checking out as well. You didn’t mention what power supply you are using. New/used? Older used? Can you test the power supply on another computer to help rule that out?








  • Probably not what you’re looking for, but I’ve been really happy with my JBL 306Ps for the last three years. They sound great and can get way louder than I’ll ever really need. Sometimes I wish I went for the 308s for more low end but like 90% of the time I’m satisfied.

    Hope you can get your issue resolved. Audio issues are so incredibly annoying.



  • I had more awe inspiring and mind blowing moments in ~100 hours of SC than in my 2000+ hours of ED. The role playing and shenanigans with other players, the diverse locations, the scale of everything… It’s just so much more interesting and immersive compared to ED and continuing to get better. ED is what I expect to actually be out in our galaxy, a whole lot of nothing. 400 billion star systems with the depth of a puddle.

    I would like to see this community remain focused on world news and not permit US internal based news, especially going into an election year… There’s already a solid, active community for that and seems entirely unnecessary to bring here. Having country tags required for titles would be nice.

    Also heavily in favor of the submission statement idea that was mentioned in one of your comments.


  • Looks like a B550 series board which means those two headers on the motherboard would be chassis fan 1 and aio pump. If you look closely on the motherboard it should be labeled near the header (in the pic you can just barely read “ch” on the left side and “aio pump” on the right.) The cable looks like a molex to 3 or 4 pin power adapter which would’ve been used with an older chassis fan with a molex connector. If everything is already hooked up you can remove that adapter.

    Edit: you can also look up your specific motherboard model and download the user manual which will give you a detailed layout of all of the headers on the board.



  • It can complicate things, but there are small cases out there with larger/more powerful components in mind. There are good designs and bad, same with any size, just have to keep your component choices in mind. I’m a big fan of ITX builds with high end hardware. At some point it becomes sort of a puzzle, balancing your components for size, heat output, and air movement. Not worth the hassle for some but I find it fun.


  • As others have said, AM5 will give you DDR5 and PCIe 5 options for some future proofing, but the 5800X3D is still an excellent CPU and would save you some money in the short run. If you go AM4 I wouldn’t bother with anything but the 5800X3D unless you’re on a really tight budget, which doesn’t seem to be the case.

    And yes, rebar is a thing now. Improvements vary but it’s there and works.
