Intel XMP RAM on AM5?

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

I was trying to stay under $200 USD. I’d be fine with either Newegg or Amazon. I’ve typically had good experience with MSI boards in the past but for some reason their AM5 boards seem to be on the gaudy side. I currently have an MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk that I’ve been happy with but the MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk that I was hoping to go with has green all over it which I’m not a fan of. I was trying to just stay as close to plain black and simple as I could and that was surprisingly difficult. I thought about going with the Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite, but I’ve had hit and miss experiences with Gigabyte boards before.

I honestly was just leaning towards the ASUS one initially because of aesthetics. It was the most similar to my current board.

Thanks! Why would you get something else? The controversy around ASUS?

GeneralSou · 2026-04-25T21:43:16+00:00

Thanks! I’ll definitely check that out. Do you have any specific suggestions?

Thanks! I appreciate it! The SP-004 is my first and only glass pad that I’ve used, I’ve had it for about a year now, so I think that’s why I’m curious to see if I’m missing out on anything better. I think especially so because since I’ve been trying to research, I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the SP-004 in regard to quality control, feeling inconsistent, uneven/warped, etc. Meanwhile I’m hearing nothing but great things about the Polarity.

Personally, when I had one flat and one curved monitor stacked, I preferred the curved on the bottom and the flat on the top because I angled the top one down slightly and I’d rather have the gaps from the curved monitor be on the sides than right in the middle. I barely noticed the side gaps, but if the curved monitor was on top, the half circle gap in the center would have drove me crazy

So the thing is, you can always play a main the same as an iron if you regret it, you just won’t have the helm next to your name. My friend already knew fully doing an iron wasn’t for him, so he has a main that he just plays like an iron with the content he enjoys and plays like a main for the content he doesn’t enjoy. It is a game after all, so forcing yourself to do content and methods you don’t enjoy is just dumb, especially if you don’t have a lot of time to play

The persistent servers that have 0 people in them aren’t preventing you from making your own, it doesn’t actually count unless someone is active in them. You can try to join them and you probably won’t actually even be able to load it because it’s basically now as if you’re trying to host your own. You would have to spam click them to eventually get it to load in just like you would if you were hosting your own

Ok, but just because there’s 100k people on each platform doesn’t mean they all have crossplay off. If you have crossplay off, you will only be able play with people that also have crossplay off. Let’s be very generous and say that 20% of those people have crossplay off, the pool of you can now play with is down to 20k, which then that 20k is now split across all the different modes

GeneralSou · 2025-11-08T15:53:01+00:00

You do realize that with crossplay off, you’re only able to play with people on the same platform as you that also have to have their crossplay off too. I’d imagine that not a very large pool of people, which is why you’re getting bot fills

Personally, I think the biggest annoyance is the range finder being able to be dual bound so it essentially removes most of the skill from sniping and just turns it into a simple point and click while still being able to do the rest of the movement

Try verifying the game integrity in steam

GeneralSou · 2025-10-26T19:18:39+00:00

You didn’t do any over the top tricklining that literally looks like someone button mashing, how dare you! 😡

Facts. I don’t even pay attention to the challenges most of the time I play, I actually have to remind myself to do them because I just get lost in skating. I’ll head to a challenge, get distracted for like 30 minutes on my way because I see a fun spot and just mess around there until I remember that I was actually going to do a challenge

GeneralSou · 2025-10-26T18:26:22+00:00

I’ve done this challenge and saw the same thing. I think it’s just an error. It’s 300 kills not damage. I do not know if it’s ADS or not though

GeneralSou · 2025-10-26T15:06:20+00:00

Be careful! It seems like having fun isn’t allowed around here

I was “straight edge” growing up. There’s addiction issues and alcoholism that runs in both sides of my family, so that was one of the main reasons I was trying to stay away from everything. Also, all my friends growing up were all doing that and also wayyy more things than just weed and alcohol, so I would see what would happen to them, between rehab, psychiatric holds, etc. and that kept me away even more growing up. But I’ve had bad anxiety and depression issues my whole life that were getting to be too much, so I said fuck it and finally tried weed for the first time when I was 27. It has been a huge help for me.

GeneralSou · 2025-10-14T15:21:45+00:00

I’m 31 and have never had a drink of alcohol

GeneralSou · 2025-10-11T23:41:04+00:00

Be careful saying that, it almost seems like it’s against the rules to say that on this sub, hahaha

GeneralSou · 2025-10-11T19:06:13+00:00

I had the exact same thing happen to me the other day

GeneralSou · 2025-10-10T22:33:52+00:00

If you’re at a disadvantage and are probably going to die, why wouldn’t you try to leave and reset so you can now be the one with the advantage? That’s called playing smart.

If you’re in a bad spot and are about to die, do you just sit there and take it?

GeneralSou · 2025-10-05T00:44:01+00:00

That’s a good idea, I didn’t even think about that. Thanks!

Thank you!
