On November 24th, Beacon MAX will be giving away 10 Logitech G Pro X wireless headsets with the optional Blue Icepop Mics! I thought I'd link these for you so that you can check it out. If I don't win, I'll break down and buy one. I also need a new mechanical keyboard so I'll be getting one of those as well. Good luck to all! Here's the links...
Gtribe and our sponsors allowed this wonderful sharing of minds, friendship, and techie knowledge. Gtribe's Gift to us and a world who readily needs it is palpable and so is the contribution from sponsors and giving members! I hope in this, my appreciation is more tangible and helpful.

Day 2... Our wonderful sponsor, XFX, has been with us a loooonng time. They have consistently supplied gifts for our giveaways and just as a graphics card manufacturing company, offer AWESOME products! Lets talk graphics cards. My last three purchases...all XFX! First the RX 480 GTR with Hard Swap fans (Totally cool and still working great! I have all three of the colors!), then the RX 580 GTS Black Edition (Running strong and still playing Doom Eternal at almost 80fps on ultra settings!),… See More
and finally the XFX 5700XT Raw II! Of course, it's my absolute favorite because it's more powerful, new, and shiny! I have never had a problem with these cards. I was told the cards were meant for medium settings. I play many AAA games and even my 580 crushed them! I play games on Ultra settings and so far, not a hiccup! (Medium settings on the 480 on newer games) But that doesn't mean I don't want XFX's new RX 6900XT! These beasts with a new surprise , look sexy as anything I've ever seen and partnering with our incredible new sponsor, EKWB, they managed to put these new beautiful blocks together! SURPRISE! The new XFX Zero WB series! I know prices are a bit hefty at this time but these deserve our admiring eyes and maybe the crowbar for our wallets. Check them out here...
Haven't posted in a while and that is due to life just getting busy. I apologize to our wonderful sponsors that help keep this wonderful social meeting place for people like you and I, going! It's no secret that my favorite is STEIGER DYNAMICS. They not only sponsor us but regularly let us know of other products, free games, and input on tech news! I currently don't have one of their systems but in the future, Computer god's allowing, I will. They are kind and have a great product line for which I… See More
am in awe! With the covid crap going on, their products are even more involved since a large part of the world's population hunkers down during this crisis and boy, can their products make it much more enjoyable! This is a link to get started on a build for your home entertainment system which makes a regular one completely insufficient and should I say it, just plain lame! Hehe. Check it out! I'm also linking this awesome lap-desk for those of you who would rather get a GOOD one ready to go!
I have the Couchmaster and even though I don't have need of it (I won it in a competition on here) I do know who can and I will see that it goes to a good home!
That PC though...beautiful clean lines. It's a work of art, not a PC.

New build finally finished! Many new parts and still some old. The riser I'm using is a Link-Up 4.0 and despite what I've read, it's working just fine but no quicker speeds or enhanced performance. Virtually the same as 3.0. I just like the look. The only sponsor items I have are the AMD cpu, Radeon card by XFX, and G.SKILL memory due in large part to availability and budget. (I still use many Logitech G products but none are new since they are still going strong!… See More
(y)) For complete specs see my personal page on Michael Pacheco. Id like to finally give an official and personal welcome to EKWB! I know it's been a long time coming and I'm looking forward to a build using your products! Thanks for everyone that sponsors us and thanks to our staff who keep us going! GAME ON!!!
Despite some GPUs being labelled as and hardwired for 4.0, they aren't exceeding 3.0 bandwidth.
Rarely will there be any improvement.
All it does it cause problems with risers.

Well, my motherboard came! It's The MSI Meg X570 UNIFY! The most expensive and heaviest board I've ever got! It is a massive, beautiful beast with well thought out design and definitely magnificent! Here are some pics. Running some tests with my computer as is and will run some after. I want to see what a difference there is in overclocking and performance of the 4.0 PCIe GPU interface. More pics after. By the way, don't mind my feet in the one picture...
run one at stock as well on the new mobo to see if theres a lot of difference between that and the oc settings, also if your running an nvme4.0 m.2 then run the same tests without anything connected to the sata ports and see if they make much of a change
(according to several web reviews using something on the sata ports slows the pcie lanes down....
