Re: Ryzen stable now?

It's a new chipset (and I don't trust Asmedia for anything), so if you really want to be sure, wait 6 months. In any case, coming from a 7700k hardly seems like an upgrade. You'll be losing a some performance in gaming and lightly threaded workloads. You'd have to really need those additional cores...

Re: Home Network Questions

I have 2 AP-LR's and an USG, with the software running in Docker on my Synology NAS, working quite well.

I just used the included injectors, as I already had a 24 port switch.

Yeah it looks that way, I'll pick up one up tomorrow when I am at office.

Not the end of the world, with new case I wanted a modular one anyways.

Sleep issue, bad PSU?

Can the PSU cause the PC to not sleep? powercfg -lastwake show nothing. Basically if I select SLEEP option, it will power down, then power right back up. Its a new build, as in new MB, same behaviour on previous MB. (I swapped MB for Micro ATX for new case) PSU is from May: http://www.newegg.ca/Prod...

What he said lol... stock CZ75 grips much thinner than the 92.

I run Hogue rubber grips on my CZ, I likes the finger grooves!

The Aluminium grips from CZ are thin, I replaced the stock thick wood ones on my CZ97 with those.
