  1. Hello all, It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to move on from ExtremeHW and community management. I have made this decision based on a few reasons. 1. Motivation/Time 2. Health 3. Fresh Start Firstly, my focus in life has changed. While I still love all the same things concerning technology, PC’s and overclocking/tweaking, my motivations are now aimed towards other life projects/goals. This has not happened suddenly and is something I have been fighting with for months now as to what I should do regarding a balance between EHW and the rest of my goals/life, but I must bite the bullet and do what is best for myself and the community and realise that I cannot have my cake and eat it. Secondly, health. Like many people I struggle with mental health and anything I can do to reduce workload & stress will be beneficial for my quality of life moving forward. This is nothing new as I have struggled for many years but as I am getting older, I am getting wiser as to what is best for me. Thirdly, I have been in this game since I was 15 years of age with respect to being heavily engaged with community activities, to site management and eventually to the ownership of my own site. The journey has been awesome, despite any challenges or sad times along the way. I feel that after 20 years I have achieved what I wanted to, but it is time to start a new chapter. My aim for the community is to find a new private owner, or possibly groups of owners who will have the right qualities for moving this site forward and growing the community. So, what now? Well rest assured that ExtremeHW will remain operational, and ultimately for you, the user, nothing will be changing up until the time new ownership takes over. If you are interested in stepping into my shoes, becoming the next owner of ExtremeHW and starting a new chapter for the community, please feel free to PM me on the site or use the sites Contact Form to learn how and what is involved. All the best, E
  2. Hello all, We say farewell to @Bastiaan_NL who has been our HWBOT Team Lead and bought members together with our various HWBOT competitions and most notably the HWBOT Team Cup. Please join me in wishing him well and thanking him for his time here at EHW. Many thanks, E
  3. Just use CAT6A. Job done. What are you doing that makes the clips break? Plastic clips last ages/forever making the assumption you are not continually bending them the wrong way. It is unlikely you will find ones with metal clips. Metal sheath over the connector, yes but I have never come across metal clips.
  4. Source At least someone is doing the responsible thing by the consumers, unlike a consumers...unlike, I don't know.... Nvidia.
  5. Makes sense, there is usually an event of some sort that makes Windows get a little screwy, I doubt it was to do with a modded BIOS, I only say that as I have never personally seen it, I have however seen Windows updates cause profile issues along with machine ID's changing which can create a nightmare for licensing activation with some programmes.
  6. Welcome to EHW. Personally I have always chosen whichever CPU offers the best performance vs price. Whether Intel or AMD make little difference to me. I have however been a Ryzen fan for a while as they have been year on year excellent CPU's for the money over Intels offerings. That of course may change. The 9000 series I find hard to have a definitive decision on. It was such a rocky launch and poorly prepared for regarding software which really gimped the CPU's. My first thoughts were that the 9000 series were lackluster and offered little gain generationally but like many media outlets, I think our opinions may have to revised once the dust has settled so everyone can take a second look at the 9000 series. Jury is still out on this one. I think AMD should try and keep their pricing as competitive as possible and I'm hoping their lead over Intel does not make their heads too big whereby innovation stalls and prices continue to rise, as that is how Intel was caught with their pants down not all that long ago. I am looking forward to the 9000 X3D variants to see how they compare to the 7000 X3D chips. I am not expecting anything that makes me want to upgrade, but hey I could be wrong.
  7. Definitely a cheap and low maintenance way of having a pet!
  8. Sounds like a damaged user profile to me. This is fairly common if something has damaged the profile, they are a pain to repair and it is generally easier and quicker to create a new user profile.
  9. With the advent of quick info consumption through the likes of YouTube, this is not surprising. There is still a place for written content, in-depth or otherwise. However in the ever quickening pace of the world and the need for instant information and gratification, people have less "want" to read through articles these days. I think it is a real shame.
  10. Im going to bow out of this one as I don't understand what you are trying to achieve.
  11. Not really sure to be honest. I am still not sure what error you are getting when you are trying to submit the registry key.
  12. Fair point, I did actually opt out of insider previews for stability reasons. Guess I will have to wait.
  13. Worth noting that your text is black on the Dark Theme, making it hard to read. This usually happens if you copy and paste any existing formatting.
  14. I guess I will have to locate so pre update benchmarks and see what the uplift is (if any) for the 7950X3D.
  15. Nice, The Callisto protocol caught my eye when first released.
