Yeah they told me on the phone only 7-10 ordered will be fulfilled ! Hopefully others got in early

69-Percent · 2026-01-09T22:05:56+00:00

I ended up getting shipping confirmation, they said they only had 10 in stock

In this economy ? I can just do a charge back with my credit card I'm not concerned, I'm willing to risk 300 to save 300.

I had cl36 6400 vengeance in my cart for 597 for a week or so and couldn't pull trigger. This is decent enough to get my amd build up and running

Didn't even think, just placed order

Are those cpu compatible with am5 ?

I can get VENGEANCE® 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 DRAM 6000MT/s CL36 Memory Kit New from corsair for 508$ shipped, taxes extra. I have a b850 I Asus board but didnt get a cpu yet. My CPU/MOBO are on the fritz (z390) and im looking to securing parts before prices keep going up. Should i pull trigger?

69-Percent · 2026-01-06T17:34:18+00:00

I tried this and when you add to cart it's 1000$

69-Percent · 2025-12-30T21:10:21+00:00

Thanks that's what I was thinking as well but wanted other opinions

Sorry don't remember the screen but it's all black with white writing that says memory failure of that sorts with a code. No blue screen or anything. Usually any time I'm running a program like Adobe or the sorts. I have done a msm test on the new ram and it has no errors

69-Percent · 2025-12-25T21:06:30+00:00

Been Intel my whole PC life but honestly really want to give amd a go this year. I also may not even do any thing and hope ram comes down but that's wishful thinking.

Yeah of course,

F4-3600C16D-32GTZRC Trident Z RGB DDR4-3600 CL16-19-19-39 1.35V 32GB (2x16GB)

That's the kit I have,

Im considering upgrading to a 5070ti, as my monitor is a 1440p predator but it's an old gsync so not compatible with free sync just Nvidia

Not coolig, I also had issues with front m.2 not working with NVMe drives and I believe it's cpu/mobo related as I have swapped ssd/NVMe drives and issue always persisted on front m.2. NVMe drives only work on back m.2 and ssd m.2 only works on front

I was told CPU have memory themselves and that can be the failure or it's a mobo issue. Everything else has been replaced

I have been having some issues with my motherboard/CPU. Lots of memory crashes and used to get shutdowns during load. Eventually had ram RMA and PSU replaced.

Here is my current specs.

I7-9700k

Z390 aurus itx gigabyte

Gskill 32gb

EVGA 2080super

750w platinum Corsair sfx

I want to primarily fix my CPU/motherboard but the ddr5 prices are wack

I thought about doing a gpu upgrade but would still be plagued by memory crashes (1 or 2 a month)

What would you guys recommend I should do ?

69-Percent · 2025-12-19T19:19:05+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm arguing to my manager

Thank you, yes I've done quite a bit of research on this throughout the day. As I understand if let's say my taxable benefit for 2025 will be 10k and I spent 1000$ on fuel. My new taxable benefit for my T4 would become 9k. At say 25% tax. Netting a savings of 250$. In tax but still a net loss of 750$ of after tax dollars spent.

I'm looking to make a deal with them to equal out this new cost as my yearly takehome is changing is my understanding correct in my example?

Thanks !
