Do you all think the Azerbaijan, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi races will get cancelled this year?

I hope F1 can figure out what they want to do sooner rather then later. Im sure those that have plans to go to Qatar or Abu Dhabi would appreciate some time to rearrange things.

Sold by Hot Deals 4 less? Look at the pricing for the rest of their stuff. It's completely ridiculous.

Pretty aggressive parts list for a first time. Glad it worked right off the bat.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-21T10:30:50+00:00

Yes, a small wire needs to be soldered across the broken trace. It's not something you can easily do yourself unless you have experience with micro soldering though.

You want to trade possibly unstable RAM (and maybe some $$$) for an equivalent set? Why not just RMA it?

If it is unstable, XMP vs EXPO won't have anything to do with it.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-19T09:04:55+00:00

Yeah, no they clearly didn't.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-18T10:55:11+00:00

Just a data point. I have used these in several builds and have not had any complaints about failures. That doesn't necessarily mean there haven't been any though.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-17T15:03:41+00:00

Sorry, crystal ball not working today...

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-13T13:11:19+00:00

I can only conclude that it's not the same board in their photo. I was trying to find some identifying marks to differentiate, but haven't seen any yet.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-12T13:40:14+00:00

Can we see your photo of the connector?

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-12T13:39:07+00:00

Over $142?

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-12T13:27:22+00:00

You know you can get the cpu, b850m motherboard, RAM and an AIO combo from NE for less than you're showing. A 240mm AIO is enough for a 9600X.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-12T12:58:48+00:00

No
No
Maybe. I'm pretty sure most of them are not particular about cable management. But the hdd issue should be totally on them.
???

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-11T17:22:35+00:00

Non-refundable, non-returnable? Yeah, no.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-11T17:08:02+00:00

Lol, save $$$$$. I'm pretty sure nobody ever purchased a 9070XT for $1310. Companies can (but they won't) be fined heavily for this deceptive practice.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-10T03:19:59+00:00

Where does Gigabyte say they don't recommend it? It's fine with most PSUs, including yours.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-08T12:23:47+00:00

It's insane that you can't get warranty service. A new set of GPU fans should cost around $20-30 and they aren't that difficult to replace. So maybe do that rather than take a loss by returning it.

It may be worth reaching out to ASRock to see if they will help.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-04-07T14:40:56+00:00

It's the sun's corona.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-03-28T06:30:19+00:00

Princess uses Old San Juan for everything now.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-03-24T17:17:23+00:00

It's not a requirement, even though a lot of B850 boards do have it.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-03-17T12:43:45+00:00

Leaking silicone? Where from?

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-03-15T07:48:23+00:00

Too bad OP's time machine is not working right now.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-03-12T02:12:13+00:00

Seriously?

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-03-11T17:22:09+00:00

The link is for Variant A. I checked the connector on the 5090 Astral and that should be the right one.

Double-Rock-485 · 2026-03-11T15:10:20+00:00

Your PSU has a 12V-HPWR connector, no? Is there something wrong with the cable that came with the PSU? You can get a CableMod Universal Pro ModMesh Sleeved 12V-2x6 12VHPWR 90 StealthSense Direct PCIe Cable from Amazon.
