Build Description
Home Gaming Desktop. Use it for games, a bit of work and stuff. I am playing Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Avatar now. Probably more later. I really am glad to have gone all AMD with it. the processor and graphics cards are basically sleeping even while playing on high graphics mode. I sometimes have the performance view of task manager up and I've yet to crack 50% usage. Only thing I may have done differently is a different motherboard. It works fine, but it tried to install a manager that did NOT work. when installed it froze the computer after running. I had to boot into safe mode to get rid of it by deleting manually and removing from the registry. Trying to uninstall froze everything as well. So DON"T install the gigabyte management software.
Favorite Feature
I love the temperature display on the processor cooler. It is toally pointless, but cool to see.

works well. During initial install had to use wired ethernet because windows 11 boot USB device did not have a driver for the wifi. Just plan accordingly when installing windows
