G714 Memory Issues
I have a G714 that's a couple years old now, and I've always had BSOD/instability and the restart issues but somehow just discovered this support area tonight.

I have a PowerSpec G474 with an Intel 14900KF CPU. It's been pretty unstable since I purchased it.

This is a PowerSpec Questions
I purchased a PowerSpec computer without full disclosure that it was a Microcenter product. Now, I can't add my printer and it is not user friendly for someone who is a basic computer user. I should have been told that I would not get support with this product and that it was a Microcenter product. Who do i complain to?

CPU speed/Intel Extreme Tuning compatibility with G477?
Hi! I just bought a new G477 system with 14900. Of course, the first thing I'm doing is testing CPU speed. I note that under 100% load, task manager shows clock speed of only about 4.6GHZ, whereas it's capable of 6GHZ. Cinebench clocks the system at 2263 singe core, 37048 multi. Firstly, are these numbers expected for this…

Powerspec G520 upgrades
Hi all, I just bought a Powerspec G520 (https://www.microcenter.com/product/684525/powerspec-g520-gaming-pc). I'm thinking of possible upgrades.

Bent the pins on the 3700 like an idiot
I put too much thermal paste and wanted to check if it was ok. While trying to remove the wraith prism color over it made it pop out of the slot. The pins are bent, but not broken.

Question about front USB ports
When I tried to use the front port to create a recovery drive it did not work. I put it in one of the rear ports and it worked. I can transfer files with the front port but there is no eject option on the taskbar under hidden icons, it was there when I used the rear port. Why is this?
