I HAVE THE SOLUTION for 64-bit. Download at your own risk, of course, but here's the files. https://www.filehosting.org/file/details/949363/Flash.zip

Contents of Flash.zip:

2. Flash.ocx

3. *FlashFixer.ps1

4. *FlashFixer.reg

5. FlashUtil_ActiveX.dll

8. *Readme.txt

The only files I customized are marked with an asterisk. If you already have the others, you're fine. Read the Readme first. Feel free to test in a safe environment like a VM if you don't trust me lol. I don't know how long the link is good for.

...went to the store to 'save some money' on the Arctic P12 pwm fan 5-pack - and I did !

 

...I also had been looking for a Strix RTX 3090 OC for a while and almost gave up - but there it was by its lonesome self (just came in  ). Fortunately, Asus imports directly into Canada, so no tariff...came out to US $ 1,877  (before the Arctic P12 5-pack)

 

 

 

That's a lot of cheddar...

Got it

A lot of ignorant folks do that

...well, NVidia finally went from 'GTX' to 'RTX' for a variety of reasons, so may be AMD feels like changing the name, or at least part of the nomenclature, is a good thing. On the other hand, they may keep the 'Radeon' name for entry-level to mid-level GPUs and go 'upmarket ($)' with a new label, sort of like Toyota and Lexus. One thing is for sure, counting out all those bills for your next-gen GPU could give you  'rhemourse'...

Yeah but nVidia still calls them GeForce

The first two sentences reference rhumours (that's my brit joke). I wonder what this move away from 'Radeon' will do? I feel like this could be a big leap in performance. It could be seen as unwise to do a typical 10-15% performance bump and change the name so much. Radeon is known. It has been since ATI existed, at least so long as I remember them. People might misunderstand and not realize these are the big boys. Heck, if you ask me AMD Radeon is still a baby compared to ATI Radeon. But, maybe I'm thinking too much into it. But I feel this will be a substantial leap in performance, giving the opportunity for the product line name change.

If you visit the link and Click "Sold by NewEgg"  Those are third parties sellers.  Newegg only has a Refurbished MSI RTX 2080 Super in stock for $749.99.

This guy gets it. It's no different than Amazon. They allow third-party venders, yet they don't enforce price gouging policies. It's frustrating that Newegg has devolved so much. It would be nice if they put something to more clearly identify that they don't have the item. For example "3RD PARTY OFFER".

What I mean is, isn't the speed limiting factor of ethernet the copper itself? A switch that can't to 10 GBps is trash, imo. I could be full of it.

Nice !

What mobo are you going to plug that into ? Alo keep an ey on new Agesa bios by mobo manufacturers, rumour has InFin at 2000 + 

Just an Auros Elite, nothing too wild. I probably won't be overclocking this for a while. 
Now I'm just waiting on stock alerts and my custom scripts to alert me for a 3080.

Just scored a 5900x from Best Buy

I thought switches supported any speed? Like forever? As long as it's ethernet? I always thought the limiting factors were cables, NICs, and Routers

Brooooooo

I've been using the hot stock app and just scored the 5900x from Best Buy! Arrives on the 27th

Good, cause one of my 2TB drives went ti.... Belly up. I suddenly found myself with a 500GB nVME and a single 2TB drive. Need moar.

The old drive was an ST2000DM001. Junk. Decent spec though, 7200rpm, 64mb cache. 

Looking forward to 256mb cache! Wish I could afford a couple 2TB nVME drives, gen 4. 5000Mbps+

$180

My first custom build. You know that foam that came with some motherboards? The softer stuff behind the PCB, plyable? I installed it with the motherboard. Also didn't use screw sets. couldn't figure out why it wouldn't POST. Guess the foam wasn't exactly blocking all shorts. Luckily when I removed the foam, and used the screw sets, everything worked just fine. IDIOT

That's all I need!

No, that's a good suggestion. I plan to keep improving this, it's quite a project. Unfortunately I don't have as much free time as I'd like, and I can't dedicate 100% of it to this, but I'll be working on it!

No way we can utilize that kind of resolution in the near future, but there's hope, at least, for some major improvement. Me like.
