    B450 to X570 worth the money?

    Currently running a 5700x and 7800XT along with a mix of SATA and gen 3 nvme SSDs on an MSI B450 Tomahawk.

    Vietnam

    Whilst in Hanoi, try getting out to Ha Long bay and getting a boat around the islands (well worth it). Cat Ba island was nice in 1996, but they were building around the harbour at a rate of knots.

    Words / phrases that annoy you

    Company I work for is going through a 'Corporation' phase. If they think we've got this far without going forward in a sustainable manner and collaborating, i'm at a loss as to what senior management thinks the manufacturing plebs do do :confused:

    Socket 771 Xeon Processors

    Hi all, looking to extend the life of a lga 775 based system (Asus P5q mobo). There's a rake of lga 771 xeons + adaptors on a well known auction site and I was wondering if anyone has any experience on overclocking these things ( currently running Q8450 @3.6 GHz). Cheers.
