I had the same symptoms once a month or so in high and low intensity games (3700x/32gb/5700xt/msi gaming+ x570,) nothing seemed to fix it till I tweaked the SOC voltage up in the BIOS and made the system really unstable. Checking online the shitty MSI board's default soc voltage was 100-200mv above AMD's published spec. Set it to AMD's spec and haven't had that problem since.

Mind explaining that to the lamen?

External spinning disk HDD or just a thumb drive? If a disk, how old?

Could be a potential source of issues.

This. Six months old.

Motherboard default raises the voltage offset of the chip so it can run all-core turbo/overclocks more stable. But when actually running stock, that voltage is too high.

I'd be pretty damn pissed if it was claimed I used and damaged a product I didn't even open. I highly doubt this changes much though.

A Chinese company owns Newegg, that should tell you everything you need to know.

My personal experience leads me to trust them. I have spent a lot over the years at NE, and like their anit-patent troll stance. I have only ever set back one item (unopened, unused, new) to Newegg once and had no issue. I have had a DOA x570 mobo bought from Amazon (I missed the fine print saying it was used) and they took it back no issue. Also from Amazon a new Hue light bar set that was sold as new but had someone's well-used return inside. Both times I was worried that I would be denied and accused of being the one to break/swap the item in question.

Besides Amazon and Newegg, what online retailer to you all favor?

B&H, Microcenter, Best Buy. But most of my stuff has been from Amazon or Newegg with very few issues.

I only buy from Newegg if they are the only choice. I'll go through Amazon even if it's more money. Their return policy prevents a lot of headaches.

There's already 250k views on that video, and it's at the top of /r/buildapcsales. Newegg really fucked up. lol

I was looking to build a decent ish computer, but with it being impossible to get a reasonably priced graphics card I’ve been looking at prebuilts. Haven’t been keeping up with components recently, does this seem like a decent deal?

You can see how pissed he is in the video where he drops F bombs, and in some parts, you can easily tell he's holding back.

I don't know if people don't realize or just don't care but Newegg is way far off from the company that it used to be since being bought out.

Yeah I just spent some time looking into it a bit, changed it to be ddr4. DDR5 didn’t seem to justify the cost, mainly was thinking for future proofing but I’m sure it will be fine without it. But they also have a free 3600 ti upgrade today, so for $1610 it’s this now, I’ll likely add more ram later:

25% off 32" G7s right now. I already had one and decided to grab two more at that price. My kids will be happy as they will get the hand me downs of my 3 x ASUS 27" MG278.

Amazon product ASIN B088HHZBGJ
EDIT: Not sure why the image above says $700, they are actually $599.

Couldn't do it. That curve was too much.

It's sad too, I would have loved this monitor if it was available in flat or at least less-curved.

How has that monitor been for you? I took the LG UltraGear 32" monitor I got from Best Buy back (bright corner, and weird line down the center of the screen). Sadly, I let them give me store credit because I had thought I could get that G7 Odyssey (at the time it was apparently unavailable). Ended up ordering it from Walmart, should be here Saturday.

Well I love it so much I bought two more, not sure I can give it a better review than that.

I personally love the curve and can honestly say this is the best monitor I have ever gamed on.
