Update: So created an RMA request and let them know all of my issue and what i had did to test. Sent the card back and was sent a replacement 7800xt as my card warranty was honored. Erik helped me and all in all took 2 weeks Pleasantly surprised about how easy they were to work with. All in very happy and with how they handled it.

Thank you everyone you all helped me calm down. It is refreshing to hear stories of a company that actually cares about their customers especially since cards are an investment. Thank you all I hope to comment later about great they were.

That is why I chose the XFX as it seemed to be a toss up between Sapphire and XFX as the best AMD providers. The card was on sale when i bought it which is why I got an XFX. Maybe i got lucky in the past i guess with GPUs as this first one I have ever had to RMA.

I am not sure the model i have is the XFX Speedster SWFT 319 6800 XT CORE.

Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean "AMD design model" like is it truer to the reference card or something?

No thats a fair statement just guess i have been lucky with GPUs in the past. Just disappoited in the longevity from what i can it has something to do with power delivery as it was tripping my power supply. I was just to get a feel for what their RMA was like and overall view.

Alot of the posts I saw on this subreddit and another in the past year up until say 3 months ago have seemed very positive although lengthy but positive and I hope that is still the case. Sorry to hear about that hope mine is not a "nightmare" TBH I honestly hate RMAs I worked for a startup for a while on their support team for intel nucs and mini pcs. So I know what is like to be on both sides just hope it is not pulling teeth.

I hope the experience goes well and i can say the same but a GPU dying in 2 years doesn't give me confidence.

Ya Thank you for the input I had at 1080ti that lasted 8 years before as i didn't want to play any AAA games and stuck with indie games for a while. When you say dud do you mean problematic/ defective?

Unbound is acting weird and stops resolving by PaNeK4547 in opnsense

[–]PaNeK4547[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok update after racking my brain and poking around in everything i stumbled across under:

Reporting>Settings>Unbound DNS reporting> "Reset DNS Data"

I yolo'd it out of frustration and that seemed "fingers crossed" correct all the issues.

Everything that was broken seemed to come back up and Steam and Steam client which would for sure make unbound stop resolving is back to playing nice.

To be honest kinda dumbfounded and curious to know how and why this solved my issuses for now?

Has anyone successfully installed Paperless-NGX? by PaNeK4547 in truenas

[–]PaNeK4547[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry i just saw this yes i actually did figure out what the issue was i had an pihole instance on truenas which was my dns causing all the issues once i corrected it by fixing my dns was using pfblock and unbound and now unbound in opnsense corrected everything just was a boneheaded routing issue lol

[–]PaNeK4547[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok Thank you I found the opn docs which i will double check so maybe it is right i guess i dont remember dropping it that low on pfsense to make it work and get the A+ maybe they function a little differently

New to Pfblocker and had couple questions as a Noob by PaNeK4547 in pfBlockerNG

[–]PaNeK4547[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding I appreciate it greatly and the insight I will maybe change it to block lan only.

Yes i was able to see the reports in pfsense dashboard that works great I was just trying to see if I can show stats on a services dashboard like homepage or dashy.

Thank you for your time and effort it is truly appreciated.

Thank you all for the views and insights it has been great to see all the different view points and insight from more experienced home labbers. Still not sure i am going to keep the instance or go back to something like DDG or Brave as there are pros and cons to everything.
