My #am5 upgrade has been a nightmare

Possibly CPU/Mobo defect that leads to the BIOS stalling and not booting. Will even ignore a held power button.

Yesterday I spent 3 hours putting my PC together, 5 hours trying to fix it.

Today I spent 3-4 hours since morning trying to fix the boot issue & my HDD deciding to not work (had to completely reset them).

But, its fast. Very fast, the #ryzen #7700x outperforms my old #ryzen #3900x with my new 32gb 6000mhz ram

@thomasfuchs Great! Keep us posted!

What are your thoughts regarding NVIDIA vs AMD? Why an RTX3070 and not one of the new RX6000?

I recently finished by "last-gen-build" where I got some real steals on an #3900x and a #rx5700xt
