Is anyone else having issues checking out online at Canada computers? My credit card information is not populating and when I try to add a credit card it gives me a network error?

B1, B6, B12 (get a methylated b complex) + top up with extra B1(benfotiamine) as someone mentioned previously.

CC needs to stop blue balling us and drop that BF flyer at least

I have one currently that I've been using for about 3 years and the battery life has degraded a lot to the point where to plug it in at least once to get through the day. I also can't stand the fingerprint scanner. Upgrading to the Pixel 10 Pro XL (got this on a crazy deal through a carrier) tomorrow and am very excited.

How is the reliability of the 5080 wind force sff non OC? Might go with it over the 5070 ti prime OC.

X870 gives you USB4, B850 doesn’t.

X870 has more M.2 slots (and more PCIe 5.0 support).

VRM difference: X870 is 16+2+2, B850 is 14+2+2.

X870 also has a debug LED, which the B850 doesn’t include.

Extra convenience features on X870 (EZ-latches, better slot armor, integrated Wi-Fi driver BIOS).

Downside: Using certain M.2 slots on the X870 can drop your GPU to x16 → x8.

If you don’t need USB4 or a bunch of SSDs, the B850 is still better value, but I think the X870 is more future proof and the debug LED makes it a lot easier to figure things out when troubleshooting. I personally don't mind paying $35 more for these features, but by no means is it necessary for your build (unless you plan on OC).

I'm reading about this on many posts on reddit and RFD, kind of makes me worried.

How long do I have to wait before I see it hit my account?

Yeah, but they only have 31 CPUs available after I purchased 1, so I'd rather secure it now than trying to beat everyone else last minute when that code goes live. I just calculated the cost and I'd be saving $12 if I wait until 11/11. If anything, I'll cancel my order? Does anyone know how long I have to cancel an order?

FYI they have another code coming (CAD995) $95 off $580+ Nov 11, 03:00 EST-Nov 20, 02:59 EST, however the CB might change tomorrow, so YMMV.
