I've been riding on AM4 for what feels like forever lol, my replacement board finally got in, they were nice enough to update the bios to something somewhat recent so the 2200g I bought just to update the bios was a waste of 20 USD lol oh well

 

tried to do the pcie splitter but with it my system didnt want to post, even after testing the GPU's individually but no dice, perhaps i need more research on that end of things, for now, i'll just enjoy my games. I'll need to get another PSU if I go that route long term, got fed up tearing down the system this weekend and just went and used the EVGA 1300w. If I plan to use the 7900 XTX and 3090Ti side by side ill need more VGA hookups anyways.

I'll look forward to when ever the next release cycle comes along, either I get something new or I get something new to me :) Be sure to keep me in mind all when ever you decide to pull triggers!

Also @Mr. Fox congrats on acquiring new employment! I was never in doubt, but its a relief none the less!

Thank you. Yes, it is definitely a relief. 

 

As a side note, I am more excited about this new role than any I can remember before. It is a newly created position in a new department. The job description reads like it was written for me by someone that knows me well. It will allow me to lean into my strengths and skillset. This will be the first time in around 25 years that I will not be responsible for the performance of other employees, hiring, disciplinary actions and terminations. Data analytics has been a big part of what I have been responsible for in terms of people performance evaluation for 2.5 decades and that will be the bulk of my daily grind, but from the perspective of evaluating process and program performance rather than execution (or the failure to execute) by individuals.

 

Apart from the previous 6.25 years working for a small business, the previous 32+ years I have worked for huge fortune 500 corporations with many thousands of employees. I am also looking forward to going back to that again. The small business experience was wonderful until it wasn't.

 

And, another plus is that I can continue working remotely. I haven't worked from a corporate office location since 2000. I have been a remote employee ever since, before the term "remote" was even invented. Most of the jobs I applied for would have required working on-site daily or hybrid with with only 1 or 2 days a week remote. I'm so glad I don't have to waste time behind a windshield going to/from work and battling traffic every day.

I am using the new 9961 beta BIOS on the Apex and it seems OK so far. So, I may test 2101 on the Strix. AGESA 1.3.0.0 sucked for me on the Apex and the Strix, but 1.3.0.0a may have corrected the bugs that I had with 1.3.0.0 AGESA.
