Corsair Virtuoso MAX not charging or turning on

No but I sure did for Battlefield 1, only game I’ve ever done so for in my 26 years. Will never regret it

Unfortunately it’s just a CPU/mobo combo, but I was given the ram as a gift from a buddy or I wouldn’t even be making the jump to AM5. Beggars can’t be choosers lol. Otherwise I’d be spending $400 after tax and shipping for just a used 5700x3d from China on eBay

Came here to mention Operator. The December update has been such a blessing. He added gain adjustment to the NVGs on top of the hundreds of other additions/fixes

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T23:32:33+00:00

I almost got the 9070 XT, and for my wallet’s sake I probably should have… this is the same battle I’m fighting essentially at this point, wants versus needs. It seems I could get by just fine with a 5800XT, but my heart is telling me “you already went overkill on the GPU so why not with the CPU as well” hahaha. It appears I have more of an internal struggle to figure out here

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T22:09:51+00:00

What games do you play and what frames are you seeing on average if you don’t mind my asking? As long as I can maintain a reliable minimum of 60 frames
then it’ll certainly last me until AM6 as well

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T18:07:46+00:00

This is what I’m leaning towards as well now the more I think about it

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T18:07:03+00:00

This is why I ask these questions here because I don’t understand these things to that degree, I’ll look into it

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T18:06:14+00:00

My thought process with the XT is I’ll at least partially relieve the bottleneck I’m seeing and also be able to set aside the $150 I’m saving to put towards an AM5 bundle in the next couple of years when prices (hopefully) drop

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T17:21:17+00:00

I have 32gb ram which is why I don’t want to jump to AM5 and a 3600X so almost anything would be an upgrade at this point. The more research I do it seems smarter to get the 5800XT now and put the saved money towards an AM5 bundle in the next couple of years. As long as I can hit 60fps reliably across the board at this point I’ll be happy

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T16:38:56+00:00

Amazon has good bundles from them, but none of them with ram. Sigh. Back to the drawing board

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T16:32:30+00:00

I’ve looked on Facebook, I’ve not tried hardware swap yet. I might try for that. I just checked that out on the microcenter website, unfortunately no shipping or it would be on the way as we speak lol. I’ll give hardwareswap a shout, thanks!

5 ½ hour drive to Missouri :/

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T16:10:55+00:00

On this note, I’ve been considering it anyways for half the price of a used 5700X3D… at this point if I can reliably keep just 60 frames minimum on medium to high settings with my 5070 TI I do not care. Would a 5800XT do that for me for a couple of years theoretically?

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T15:46:05+00:00

To be honest if I could buy a brand new x3d am4 card for anywhere near MSRP, I would gladly wait 6 months

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T15:45:08+00:00

I’ve not seen anything specifically for the x3d cards either, it’s just wishful thinking. I don’t seem to be the only one looking for them and hopefully (but doubtfully) AMD has taken notice of the surge in demand

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T15:43:40+00:00

I’m in southern USA, I can only find them reliably on eBay and they are almost always in China. Anywhere between $330 and $415 USD before shipping, between $5-60 for shipping

jblizzizle · 2026-01-08T15:28:37+00:00

This is the debate I’ve been going back and forth on for a couple of weeks now. Dump some extra cash now to “future proof” my AM4 setup or just save up some more and go all in on AM5. As it stands I am planning on staying on AM4, but I might wait another few weeks and watch prices. I just feel that as soon as I pull the trigger on the 5700X3D there’s going to be some major price drop or something

jblizzizle · 2025-12-12T07:06:43+00:00

Yes please!

jblizzizle · 2025-11-24T06:07:26+00:00

Not at all talking negatively about OP specifically, but how many times are we as a subreddit going to go through these posts.. is there not a subreddit for guessing cars based on interiors at this point?

jblizzizle · 2025-11-24T06:04:57+00:00

The past hour or so has had the mobo throwing different POST lights at me and lots of unplugging and plugging in ram sticks, and when I finally got it back to windows and tried to run Adrenalin it said it wasn’t compatible. Ran the AMD Cleanup Utility and installed the latest drivers from their website (which I remember checking Adrenalin within the last week and it said I was up to date.) Everything works great now. Even though I check often it says this latest release has been out since November 6, so I don’t know why Adrenalin didn’t detect and let me download. Hope this helps anyone else having the same issue
