lol what’re u gonna use that for tho

I mean 32gb should be more than good enough

I can buy a 5090 for £2000 rn

Crazy price tho

Is that before tax

I forgot how Canada do it

What’s tax like 10%

I forgot

It’s basically the same price as the one I can buy here then

Yeah

£1900 + 10%

It’s £1650-1700 +20% here lol

Neither of those are worth that 😭

[wraith agate]

I love the trans colors

[hazy frost]

Just get the gigabyte one 😭

$4800

$3800 is insane

$1100 more for PNY

Lmao

I mean they’re better when it’s $50 difference

Yeah

Retailers gonna retail fr

zotac and PNY ones are cheap here

I mean it’s probably not that important realistically

U can power limit the 5090 like 100w under what it uses stock and lose a couple % in performance

It’s too close to the limit by default tho

The fact it runs at 600w when it could at like 450-480 is insane

I mean I wouldn’t use them still but if you’re going to use one it’s on the safer side of what is bad

You clearly needed 42 fans.

[sharp star]

I had to count how many fans are in my PC.

There's nine.

[sly elk]

mine's also got 9

not including the gpu or psu

[sharp star]

Yeah I discounted any GPU and PSU fans too

[potent arrow]

I have

2

LOL

2 on the rad and thats it

not counting the ones on my gpu

[hot shadow]

my aio has 3 and front had 2

the ambient room temp matters a lot too

can't rly cool PC down as well if your room is a 88F raider volcano

[sharp star]

Yeah the stock fans on the Flux Pro are 6

And the AIO fans on my LF3 are an extra 3

[sly elk]

nice

i have a 360mm radiator with 3 fans on it, and then in the case: 2 on the bottom, 3 on the front, 1 on the back

the radiator is on top, and tbh the bottom and top fans are the only ones that really matter

Wow. When i checked in my PC, the guy at the counter noticed it was a PC, then helped me label it as fragile and for careful handling. And for express handling

Talked shop with me about PCs too

Even radio-ed the baggage guys to handle my PC carefully

What is the caveat if I allow downloading while playing games on Steam? Besides internet speed obviously, because I'm thinking of playing an offline single player game while waiting for my Steam to finish downloading the other game because its download speed is unbearably slow at just 5MB/s.

[sly walrus]

eh, depends on your disk speed

[median copper]

mine is Samsung 990 Pro

[inland mauve]

Steam games have to be downloaded and then often decompressed

so that puts pressure on your internet connection, your drive and your CPU

will have to try out if you actually notice it

I don't understand why so many people recommend me to get OBS on my laptop that I just bought a couple weeks ago, like I'm not even a streamer

[hot shadow]

that is pretty strange

cause if you need it, it's a quick dl anyway

if you dont then w/e

[wide hill]

why do you need OBS is the first question

is like "oh you should download visual studio code", but you aren't even a programmer

[hot shadow]

if you aren't a streamer then the other main use is if you're raiding in mmos or showing off some game clips and usually those people use OBS, to look back on shit

but outside of that you dont need it ya

[wide hill]

i use the nvidia overlay

much better than to just record literally everything, and just press a button to clip a part

[hot shadow]

yea i used either

i used nvidia overlay for apex 30s to 1 minute videos

[median copper]

I'm ngl I've never clipped a gameplay in my whole life

I've screenshotted lots of pretty sceneries though

[hot shadow]

tbh when i heard live i thought they were doing livestreaming

but nah it was live text commentary updates

further, I have to wait for other color options to appear on the market

i got some be quiet! fans

because i actually also didnt want the BROWN DOODOO fan

[tepid gulch]

I like Arctic

I also have an Arctic aio

Speaking of I need to clean said fans

But however

I'm lazy

[brave oxide]

one good thing of noctua is their support, they go above and beyond

[tepid gulch]

Noctua was too expensive for me when I did my PC bulld

[hot shadow]

why do you need support for noctua parts though, they kinda just work

but sure that's good

[tepid gulch]

My fan no work gib new

Thank

[brave oxide]

i mean shit happens, maybe a couple years later the fan gets noisy or has any other issue, or you buy a cooler and end up replacing the motherboard and need a new bracket

[sly elk]

same lol

the funnier part to me is noctua isn't even that old

they're from like 2005 or something

by then beige was already not really being used anymore

Because of its undeniable visual similarity, the Noctua NF-A12x25 fan immediately earned the “Gentle Typhoon copy” label right after its introduction. In reality, however, Noctua only took inspiration from the shape (much like Scythe, which once saw it elsewhere and applied it to the Gentle Typhoon)

[hot shadow]

2005 is old

sir that was 20 years ago

:v

[sly elk]

that's not really what I mean

[hot shadow]

pc companies arent like candy companies where they are from 1800s lolllll

[sly elk]

what I mean is it's like a false heritage thing I guess

like people who are like "Oh I went with a retro flavor build so I used noctua fans"

except beige computers didn't use ugly brown and beige fans

[hot shadow]

yea those are called 20 year olds

because 20 years ago they weren't even born

[sly elk]

they usually used generic ass black fans

[hot shadow]

because it's old :p

[sly elk]

yea i love seeing them buy "gaming" CRT monitors

and they'll have their like nice alienware OLED

next to a shitty 1993 ctx that didn't even do 120hz

[hot shadow]

i still meme on alienware to this day

for being like the dell of gaming before

[sly elk]

and to be fair, yea the good crts are all spoken for lol

the really really good ones are probably mostly broken by now

like the 21" trinitrons

[hot shadow]

idk what they would even use it for, most of these people seem to just want their e-penis stroked by posting their 'gaming' crt to battlestations again

[sly elk]

idk lol

[hot shadow]

it would just be stupid impulse buying then their gf is gonna ask them 'why did you purchase this you fuckin idiot'

[sly elk]

crt tech was cool

[hot shadow]

wwwww

[sly elk]

but with the high refresh rate oleds i'm not sure why anyone would want one aside from nostalgia

also the cheap ones make an annoying high pitch noise that bugs me

[hot shadow]

yea my friend who's nearly gen x just keeps his old one running to display anime girls on it

that's it

that's the whole use

it's very good for that

[sly elk]

[hot shadow]

he used to be a counterstrike pro back in the day apparently

and he already moved on from crt

was also laddering for starcraft 1 before

[sly elk]

i wonder what he thinks about the people who go nuts with their mouse

like those super lightweight modded thingies

[hot shadow]

he has a 30g mouse with holes currently so i would say he also went nuts

[sly elk]

oh ok lol

[hot shadow]

lmao

[sly elk]

idk what i learned during my overwatch days

[hot shadow]

i think it's hard to get out of the gamerbrain once you were a pro

[sly elk]

was that everyone now is into lightweight because they put the mouse sensitivity at like... 5...

[hot shadow]

all your lifestyle creep go up

[sly elk]

and then flail their arm all over the place

[hot shadow]

if it's light you set it 800dpi

[sly elk]

like a mac from 1993

[hot shadow]

no more no less unless you rarely prefer 600 on a button toggle

[sly elk]

lmao remember how slow the mouse moved by default on them

it'd be like

apple menu? continued on the next mousepad

[hot shadow]

honestly i tell new people getting back into shooters to try 1000 dpi and it helps their aim a lot

you do not need 6000 dpi, this market lies to you

for decades

[sly elk]

yea those are two very different extremes lol

[hot shadow]

we used to set shit at 3000 dpi when it was available and that was a mistake, the smart people were all on 1600 forever

[sly elk]

i have no idea what my mouse's dpi even is

because i don't use the drivers anymore LOL

the drivers are always shit

[hot shadow]

huh

well the drivers would tell you and also help you change it tho

idk what default would be either

[sly elk]

the mice always have a button to change the dpi

[hot shadow]

yea by default but idk what it sets it to

usually first one is prob 400dpi to 600 dpi

the really slow one

cause they assume you need that one to aim super steadily

some mice used to have that big red side button to activate 400dpi on the fly

[sly elk]

the g502s still have it lol

on my old g502 it was too far up for me to reach with my usual grip

[hot shadow]

bless that grenade mouse but it wasnt for me

apparently usually nobody with light smaller hands loves that mouse, they all move on eventually.

usually they fomo into it when theyre like 16yo because they saw other gamers buy it or it's right there at the store

[sly elk]

you have to have GIANT GAMER HANDS

[hot shadow]

so really, men

men that are above a certain height should have sufficient hands for that mouse

i know no women who still use the grenade mouse past a year unless they're kind of being a cheapskate cause their bf bought it for them then they didnt upgrade out of it

[sly elk]

LARGE MANLY HANDS

[tepid gulch]

I use a g502x

Kinda interesting how there's stories about 50 series cards melting but none for the one 9070 XT that uses 12VHPWR

Probably because it uses 300W plus or minus

[sly elk]

yeeaaa they max out at 340w

[sharp star]

lmao

[sly elk]

the best part about that, is at 340w i think it puts out like 5-10% more performance than it does at 304w*

92fps to 102fps

and at that max they're talking about 370w LOL

aerocool used to make fans with a ton of blades like that

same as not many 5080s and no 5070s/5070tis melting

was the same with the 4090 doing it but not rly anything else

4090 and 5090 stock fly too close to t he sun w ith their power limits

[sharp star]

yep

I haven’t used my 4090 beyond stock settings though

it hasn’t caught fire at least

[hazy frost]

Yeah actually most 4090 fires were from the old cable where people didn’t push it in properly bc it was annoying like that

The 5090 just uses too much power so it can do that either way

[sharp star]

imagine taking care of your electronics

imagine taking care of a 5090 though

[hazy frost]

Taking care of a 5090 just involves setting 80% power limit and going on with ur life

and hope it doesn’t burst into flames despite that

[hazy frost]

I love how everything else is efficient then the 5090 just used 100w extra for 2%

[sharp star]

Ask Antec

There’s a Flux Pro SKU that has Noctua coloring and stock fans

it’s gonna be sold by Noctua

Noctua products are excellent and perform as intended, along with best-in-class support, but I’m not sure if I want to pay out the ass for them when cheaper and similarly-performing alternatives exist

[hazy frost]

excellent and perform as intended can be said for atl 4 brands rn

i dont think support for any except maybe arctic is lacking

thermalright will do the things like send u new parts for a d ifferent socket if u buy a cooler too

[sharp star]

yep

I also take issue with the liberal use of brown

[sharp star]

yep

[hazy frost]

if i want fans im buying the T30s unless i need the sff stuff bc theyre too thick

[sharp star]

it also comes later in the product's life cycle

[hazy frost]

if i want a cooler im buying any of the arctic of thermalright stuff thats the same for half the price

if u dont care how stuff looks (noctua brown ew) u can just buy stuff aimed at server usage or something

theyre ugly but they work better

[hot shadow]

idk why they didnt just do a noctua greenblue or something wtf

brown isn't..... very unisex in a nice way

if you went up to a girl and said 'your aura is BROWN' shes gonna slap you

i think even an offwhite vanilla would be nicer?

[sharp star]

I think there's a shitty pickup line involving Noctua products in there somewhere

[hazy frost]

anything is nicer than brown but theyve somehow convinced people the colour scheme is good by being associated with a 'premium' product that isnt even standout now

noctua fanboys have done as much irreversible damage as nvidia ones

usually theyre the same people

[hazy frost]

Their AIOs are almost as good value as Arctic and Thermalright as well

But they look far better imo

[sharp star]

Yeah it really sucks that I have to ask if someone is American and that becomes the deciding factor whether I discount DeepCool entirely or not for a potential build

[hazy frost]

Lmao

[tepid gulch]

Oh

2.1k USD

Yeah that's close

Not a bad deal

If you have the money

My whole build was only a few hundred more than that

I got my 4070ti for msrp

[hazy frost]

My whole build was less than that with a 4070ti 2 years ago lmfao

Actually it’s probably about the same now with the conversion rate

Went from like 1:1.2 to 1:1.35 in a few months

£1600 is about $2100

[potent arrow]

mine was much more then that and I built it a few months ago LOL

The gpu alone was 2600$ CAD iirc

😭😭😭

[tepid gulch]

[hazy frost]

£1600 got me a 7700x, x670e, 4070ti, and 2TB ssd, and a Hx1000i

Good times

[potent arrow]

DEAD

[tepid gulch]

Damn

[hazy frost]

Idk how I got those discounts even

Magic

[tepid gulch]

I think I paid 2.3k USD for a 4070ti, 7800x3d, x670e, 2tb 990 pro, 32gb ddr5 6000, and a 850w Corsair PSU

[hazy frost]

Close enough

I bought it the month stuff came out so I’m surprised I got it at or under retail

7800x3d didn’t come out until after unfortunately

[tepid gulch]

I got it as soon as it dropped iirc

[hazy frost]

I have a P5 plus as well for the ssd which isn’t on the low end lmao

[tepid gulch]

It was on a sale on Amazon for I think below msrp

[hazy frost]

My laptop I was using between PCs broke so I just went for a 7700x bc I needed 8 cores

I think it was like £200 or around that

[tepid gulch]

Fair

[hazy frost]

20% VAT killing me

Things could be so much cheaper

[tepid gulch]

7800x3d are $385 rn

[hazy frost]

They got cheaper

A lot of stuff has gotten cheaper but I’m happy to have paid the same amount as it costs now 2 years ago

Possibly

Tbh this year sucks, a 4090 was something I could consider, but the 5090 isn’t

[tepid gulch]

I also bought 12 of these

[hazy frost]

My current fans are EK ones and one Arctic one

P14 and FPT140

[tepid gulch]

And this is my case

I highly recommend

[hazy frost]

This is mine

[tepid gulch]

I like nzxt cases

[hazy frost]

My ideal case doesn’t exist so I’m going to have to adjust one myself

[hazy frost]

I like the H6 and everything else is only good when it’s on sale

lol

[potent arrow]

both fans you gave me are dead LOL

[hazy frost]

I want 140s but can’t afford them

[potent arrow]

one is just full of corrosion

[hazy frost]

£120 in fans

[tepid gulch]

[potent arrow]

my pc is now strapped to the bottom of my desk lol

[tepid gulch]

So

I know this might be crazy

But I have 0 rgb

Because I don't like it

[hazy frost]

I have some

[tepid gulch]

A little you say

[tepid gulch]

My mouse and keyboard are just solid purple

[tepid gulch]

Wood

[hazy frost]

That’s my ‘temporary’ not temporary solution

Because my desk is also ‘temporary’ and can’t hold it

[tepid gulch]

Water cooling is too much of a pain

[hazy frost]

I just have motherboard and fan RGB

[tepid gulch]

Somebody that actually has one of those

[tepid gulch]

Woah

[hazy frost]

The second monitor makes me uncomfortable

[potent arrow]

the tall one?

it's pretty useful lol

[tepid gulch]

I have a second PC too

[potent arrow]

it's mostly documentation, code, teams or discord

occasionally spotify

or three shit stacked

[hazy frost]

Yeah it would just hurt my neck lmao

[tepid gulch]

I just noticed I think the shelf my PCs are on is bowing in the middle

[hazy frost]

I like vertical ones for the same use but smaller

[tepid gulch]

[hazy frost]

I need a second one

I had one but dead

[tepid gulch]

I used to have that keyboard

[hazy frost]

It’s uh

A keyboard for sure

[tepid gulch]

Yeah

[hazy frost]

Lmao

[tepid gulch]

It definitely is

My keyboard was expensive but I like it

[hazy frost]

I want the new AOC mini led monitor to replace my main but it’s not out here yet

Q27G40XMN

1152 zones instead of the 336 from the 3XMN

[hazy frost]

Huge upgrade but none in stock

[tepid gulch]

So expensive

But I like it

[hazy frost]

I need a low profile for my nails

Honestly

Too expensive tho

[tepid gulch]

Yeah

[hazy frost]

I have a larger Lego car but no space on my desk rn

[tepid gulch]

It's worth imo

[hazy frost]

Gotta make a shelf

[tepid gulch]

My shelf has too expensive things on it

It kinda scares me

[hazy frost]

I need somewhere for Lego and manga and plushies but no space for more storage

I have to reorganise

Might have to get some storage under my desk

[tepid gulch]

I might be the only person ever that uses a mouse bungie

[hazy frost]

Same

I have the light kit for this one but never used it

[potent arrow]

I have so many plane kits I need to finish painting

car I'm.working on right now

[hazy frost]

Lego got too damn expensive tho fr

[potent arrow]

Lego is so cheap compared to scale model tho T-T it's the cheaper option

and less time consuming

[hazy frost]

Yeah

Scale models look better in most cases

[hazy frost]

Depends what u prefer making tho

[potent arrow]

that 1/32 scale kit was like 300$

[hazy frost]

I find Lego more satisfying

[hazy frost]

Tbf u can get lower quality ones for less

[potent arrow]

Lego doesn't have what I like, accuracies and intricacy

[hazy frost]

Lego has what I like, instructions and things go click together

[potent arrow]

scale model has instructions!

just gotta use your and spend time painting, which tbf is what I like

painting and fitting is my enjoyment

[hazy frost]

True but Lego instructions are just like

Perfect

I find using them satisfying

[potent arrow]

I mean all modern model kits too, idk how much more perfect you can get

[tepid gulch]

Lego has an app now that showed 3d models of how to put the sets together

Instructions 100

[hazy frost]

Lego kits have the right balance of effort to satisfying reward for me

Scale models I don’t have the time for

They’re cool tho

[hazy frost]

The fact u can easily get instructions for old sets now is cool

Can just buy the pieces for them urself

[tepid gulch]

Yeah

Even though Lego is stupid pricy

[hazy frost]

I have too many hobbies not enough space

[potent arrow]

Random instructions I had on my phone

[potent arrow]

my studio is suffering incarnate

yea

[hazy frost]

I’m honestly not sure if I like having a desk twice as much as when I had small desk and a dresser for makeup and stuff

But I can actually move my mouse now

So there’s that

[potent arrow]

or better :P depends on if you can paint or not lol

but that's a pretty simple kit

[hazy frost]

Looks fine

[potent arrow]

cuz I just cleaned it LOL

[hazy frost]

My desk is a mess rn

[potent arrow]

as clean as the studio gets

[hazy frost]

Keeping stuff tidy proves difficult

I have too many boxes full of stuff

[hazy frost]

I have a corner of guitars laying on the floor

[lost python]

read some more and damn. AMD please release a 9080 with 20-24gb vram and my money is yours tbh

i wanna upgrade but the 9070xt just doesnt seem worth it

[sly elk]

that would be nice

the radeon 6800 had 16gb ram and so did the 7600xt lol

[lost python]

lets be real ice, it doesnt matter what the price is, you would probably buy it

[wild wyvern]

5060ti or RX 9060xt

Im looking at these 2

[sly elk]

whatever pleases you xD

i went with a 9070xt because I wanted a good linux card, and it's been great

[wild wyvern]

Uhhh wtf

My gpu isnt showing an signal

It happened after i woke the pc up from an sleep

KB light is showing

Any ideas?

[lost python]

Restart the pc and disable sleep mode, it’s known to cause issues with some cards

[wild wyvern]

Its still no signal after i restarted it

I restarted a few times still no signal

[wild wyvern]

@lost python still no signal

Could it be my gpu is ded?

[lost python]

dunno. try pulling the power plug and waiting a bit and then again

[sharp star]

Might end up doing some deep cleaning with my case fans one day

[wild wyvern]

We did

Still nada

Even trying all 3 dp ports

[sharp star]

Have you eliminated the possibility that it actually is the GPU

like using your iGPU (if any) or a second GPU (also if any)

[wild wyvern]

Its an i5 4440

So yes it does

[sharp star]

So... did you boot with the iGPU?

[wild wyvern]

Nope

[sharp star]

I would suggest attempting to boot with the iGPU for diagnostic purposes

[wild wyvern]

I will try it

But my gpu is working with lights on etc

But it has no signal

[sharp star]

Okay but you should probably remove your GPU so you can boot with the iGPU

[wild wyvern]

But im certain its the gpu

Cuz well

[sharp star]

So... remove the GPU and nuke your drivers with DDU if it manages to boot.

[wild wyvern]

Im using an VGA to DP adapter for my gpu

[potent arrow]

First off

it could be the adapter

like djura said boot in with your igpu

when you are in, check if your PC can see the GPU

go from there

to do this plug your monitor into the motherboard

@wild wyvern

check device manager once you are in

[wild wyvern]

Ok

[wild wyvern]

I tried with an real hdmi cable too

Still didnt work tho

[potent arrow]

just

just follow the instructions given lol

let's properly rule out the gpu

[wild wyvern]

I will do it leter

I will let you all know

[potent arrow]

Gentle reminder, we have asked you before to stop asking about of component decisions in this channel. Once again, we have given you so much advice and nine was ever followed. We have already deemed your behavior as disruptive when it comes to purchasing advice. So please refrain.

[wild wyvern]

Well

I know what im getting

[potent arrow]

then stop asking

please

[wild wyvern]

I will

[wild wyvern]

Oh shit my board doesnt have an vga port

[sharp star]

Please get an adapter or a cable one way or another and report back when you do

[potent arrow]

@sharp star I'll let you take over here, I had a long night with many tickets

[sharp star]

Sigh

[wild wyvern]

Hdmi port doesnt have anything inside either

For the motherboard

Ugh

[lost python]

anyone in here actually have a 32:9 monitor?

[hazy frost]

I’ve used them, I think @sly elk has the G9 atm as well

[sharp star]

https://youtu.be/wHgtYBUN0VM credit where it’s due I guess because this actually does look interesting

Corsair is so weird

They used to be the premium brand like 10-15 years ago

[hazy frost]

theyre still seen as that by a lot of people who were building since then

corsair is still perceived as premium for psus somehow despite making garbage consistently with anything short of the RM

[sharp star]

Yeah their higher-end PSUs are fine

[hazy frost]

people see evga and corsair as premium for psus bc their high end was really good

[sharp star]

but it’s still so weird

[hazy frost]

some of their low end is awful

idk who the new equivalent is

seasonic and corsair still ig

[lost python]

ill just stick to bequiet for my psu needs. they never disappointed me so far and their support is very helpful even with general questions

[hazy frost]

they still make good stuff

[lost python]

bequiet did get expensive in recent years though

[hazy frost]

thermaltake, corsair, seasonic, be quiet, gigabyte, msi, all make good stuff atp tho

theres a l ot of options now

[sharp star]

Gigabyte making some nice IEDs

well

given their prices its probably rather plastic cocaine and not plastic crack

Is this still gas vehicle tho

[dire viper]

Hybrid

[hot shadow]

bcuz yawn if so

ok

better

[dire viper]

Smh Rab

[hot shadow]

so I kinda liked the Yaris in new Zealand lol

[dire viper]

We gotta put u in a fast car

[hot shadow]

it was spacey

[dire viper]

Unfortunately the Yaris is not real in the US

[hot shadow]

right

a shame tbh

it's really cute

[dire viper]

They just stopped selling well

[hot shadow]

idk in the end even if I had a fast vehicle they go 10mph here because of all the people 🙂

I'm just being realistic about it

50 if it's that road next to the freeway sure

not much beyond normal freeway mph

[dire viper]

Yea but like back roads

Smh

Your in the area where they do the California Mille even I think

They just got done doing that

[hot shadow]

back roads of shit quality???

bruv I went on those in the Elantra and a Mazda forever ago

[dire viper]

They race a bunch of classic cars around Bay Area over 1000km

[hot shadow]

I'm not bay area anymore

[dire viper]

Well ur not but ur CLOSE

within a few hours

[hot shadow]

tho norcal they still have nice nature road

[dire viper]

To me that’s close cause I live in Utah and I gotta fight black bears and wolverines to get anywhere

Ya know how it is

[hot shadow]

I used to do all that but then my friend realized they needed zoloft

then all the driving ended

lol turns out the driving was to cope with fucking massive anxiety the entire time

[dire viper]

😭

[hot shadow]

could probably visit a nice national park again

[dire viper]

Idk I’ve seen a lot of roads near Bay Area and they’re fine. Literally better than Utah canyon roads. Two canyons they repave constantly but everything else is like every 5 or 6 years with only pot hole repair between

[hot shadow]

they're ok it's just 45min in you get existential and want to go home after seeing two dead squirrels lmfao

Idk I don’t get depresso when it happens but also I grew up hunting deer and catching fish

Just kinda shit happens

Fish are yummy

[hot shadow]

I require fishing technology so I can haul in some fat ones to grill

but I don't think there's anything here but a giant river

apparently people get bass trout and salmon off this river...

not gonna be easy for me lol

I will eat him

[wild wyvern]

Do you cook them?

[dire viper]

Yes

We cook them or smoke them

But usually we get about 100-200 fish a year

My grandpa fishes like 2-3 times a week, a lot more than me

[dire viper]

They’re so pretty

My favorite fish I’ve yet to catch is arctic grayling

[wild wyvern]

The dears?

[dire viper]

They only have them in a few lakes here and they are all hike only. And it’s like a 4 hour hike one way type deal

[dire viper]

When we used to hunt deer yes

[wild wyvern]

What kind of fish do you get?

[dire viper]

Eat every part of a deer. Hearts, liver, make sausage with the intestines

[wild wyvern]

[dire viper]

Here it’s like rainbow trout mostly

[wild wyvern]

Yum

[dire viper]

Some salmon

[wild wyvern]

Oh

Salmon is my fav

[hot shadow]

if I become a fishing legend I better not eat any parasites or imma be sad

[wild wyvern]

Yeah u gotta look tbh

one bad thing and ur sick

[brave oxide]

Seems too early for a refresh

[sharp star]

they're trying to win back the disillusioned consumers

A for effort, F in execution

[sly elk]

that isn't at all why I buy corsair stuff lol. I buy corsair ram and coolers and PSUs because the company is us-based and their RMA process is still decent. Not perfect.. but decent..

evga had a similar thing going

[dire viper]

It’s good corsair is capable of unfucking things

[sharp star]

yeah

Corsair makes good shit, just... not in the way they used to anymore

[sly elk]

idk

their power supplies are still good. i still like how their ram looks the best lol.. hmm

aio water coolers are a tricky one because of the warranty lol

theirs are usually good

especially the ones that have ML fans

and they've historically been good about the rare instance where a leak happens and it damages other stuff

that would be the catch that keeps me from buying say, a thermalright aio

but I expect that people who care about value aren't buying aio water coolers anyway

[hazy frost]

i mean theyre not going to say fuck u if something breaks just bc its cheap

like arctic wouldnt either

[sharp star]

yeah

I probably remember it differently because one of my first builds was primarily Corsair parts

It's probably the market being very different now

[sly elk]

no they'll give you a warranty replacement for the aio itself and probably that's it

[hazy frost]

That’s not really special

[sharp star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNa6jdCQzlU

[sly elk]

i like the chance that they might cover the cost of replacing the broken parts the aio leaked on

https://www.netcarshow.com/dodge/2026-charger_daytona_sedan/

I guess it makes sense to launch it as a 2026 since it's may already, but that's pretty funny considering the coupe launched as a 2024

i think the body style works better in sedan form

[hazy frost]

most companies do this besides really shitty ones

crazy how the idea cheap = bad service came to be

[tepid gulch]

The hood curve is odd without an intake

[dire viper]

That’s the EV model

It just has a radiator in the front and that’s it

yea the EVs have that. the gas engines have a flat hood like normal

oh hey looks like the renault 5 is coming to the US after all

it's more n_n

[hazy frost]

Wow that micra really doesn’t look good lmao

Looks like they tried to make it fit the crossover styling ish for the US market or something

[dire viper]

They got like the same body lines

Just different front ends and moldings

[hazy frost]

Yes it’s quite impressive how bad they managed to make it look with minimal changes

[hot shadow]

you mean to play an older game with physx? some people just stick their older un-retired gpu in there

i wouldn't go bareass naked

[sharp star]

you could buy a 3050

[hot shadow]

ya

now we're at a point where you can have a new-old gpu for older game

and it'll be affordable in your second pc with all your ... leftover parts

cause if you're above the age of 30 these days you'll have enough parts to build like 3 computers my god

100000000000000 things piled in the garage

then you qualify

Hey! does anyone here own a 50 series GIGABYTE card? looking into getting one but heard something about the thermals for it leaking. was a bit curious to see if anyone had that problem

i dont want them to become on fire lmao
