Why forzen

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:18 AM

#

I have 5 stoner stickers, 2 Alaskan stickers, 6 stickers from my parts and peripherals, and a vape sticker

#

idk

#

I was 12 when I named him

#

and it's stuck ever since

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:18 AM

#

Oh lol

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:18 AM

#

lol

#

it was like a spinoff of Forza

#

and Frozen

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:19 AM

#

7900x? How old are you dude

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:19 AM

#

19

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:19 AM

#

Ahhh kk lol

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:19 AM

#

How old did you think I was? lol

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:20 AM

#

I mean was kinda assuming it was new, and if you named it when you were 12, maybe 13? Idk, just cause it’s a fairly recent processor

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:20 AM

#

Yeah no Forzen has been through multiple upgrades since the RTX3000 series was released

#

The original parts were these

#

Case - Corsair Air Carbide (White)
Power supply - Corsair RM650x
Motherboard- Asrock B365M Pro 4
CPU - Intel Core I-5 9600k 9th Gen
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16gb
GPU - GTX 780
Fans - Stock Corsair fans that came with the case, that lit up white
CPU Cooler - Corsair 240mm AIO Water cooler

#

My original boot drive got corrupted and I had to replace it with an ssd that I still have today

#

Then I sold the 780 and used a RX580 for a few months until christmas of I believe 2022?

#

That's when I upgraded straight to a discontinued line of EVGA 3060's, that was capable of overclocking, had that for 2 and a half years, sold it for a Ti variant from MSI, and then recently, I got my 4080 Super and gave the 3060Ti to my brother for his pc

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:29 AM

#

gotcha lmao

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:29 AM

#

but I got the newer parts eariler this year, around February I think

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:29 AM

#

thats some history lol

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:29 AM

#

Yeah

#

Got him in 2019

#

now he's a high tier gaming pc

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:30 AM

#

i had a similar upgrade path, but im still on 12th gen i7, and an artifacting 3080 😭

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:30 AM

#

damn

#

I never went past the 3060Ti

#

until now of course

#

But that's a huge leap

#

Cyberpunk couldn't even do RT on here, now I have DLSS 3.5 and Frame Generation, and it runs beautifully

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:32 AM

#

yeah, I went from a 980, to a 1660, then to my breaking 3080

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:32 AM

#

Dang

#

that's rough

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:32 AM

#

yeah, im hoping it holds out on my till I have some disposable income

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:32 AM

#

Yeah

#

I just need to replace this motherboard

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:32 AM

#

oh, why?

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:32 AM

#

Cause I can't OC without it crashing

#

I can't OC anything except my GPU

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:33 AM

#

oh damn, that sucks

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:33 AM

#

I'm getting a better one, which I hope can OC straight out of the box

#

more ram, and a new boot drive

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:34 AM

#

good luck with that, wow, mr supercomputer lol

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:34 AM

#

cause this ssd is getting older and slower by the day

#

It used to load up stuff extremely fast

#

now it takes longer to load stuff

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:35 AM

#

is that normal?

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:35 AM

#

I'm not really sure

#

It's been wiped clean more than once

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:35 AM

#

yeah, thats not good

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:35 AM

#

I'm getting the fastest m.2 ssd that exists rn

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:36 AM

#

wow haha

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:36 AM

#

It's the Crucial T705, 2TB Variant

#

14,500 MB/s

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:36 AM

#

damn, how much is your pc gonna cost lol

#

daaanngggg

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:37 AM

#

probably in the 2-3 thousands range

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:37 AM

#

thats like twice mine

#

maybe like 3 times mine

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:38 AM

#

They say money can't buy happiness, but money has satisfied my inner child

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:38 AM

#

lmao, money can satisfy anyone's inner child

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:38 AM

#

lol

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:38 AM

#

I blow all of my money on guitars lol

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:38 AM

#

Damn

#

I want a guitar

#

Electric

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:39 AM

#

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:39 AM

#

Nice

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:39 AM

#

you should totally try it though

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:40 AM

#

I want to, but idk where to find a music store here in Alaska

#

And they can’t be shipped up here off of Newegg, and I don’t trust Amazon

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:41 AM

#

oh damn, alaska? maybe try ordering one? I hear sweetwater is pretty good

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:41 AM

#

I’ve heard of Sweetwater

#

I want both an acoustic and an Electric one

#

For my passion project

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:42 AM

#

If you like strat style, I'd reccomend the Yamaha Pacifica (literally any of them are great for beginners) probably the 112J though. Its great and fairly inexpensive

winter briar Oct 23, 2024, 12:43 AM

#

Ah ok

#

Does this server have any voice chats?

stray plover Oct 23, 2024, 12:52 AM

#

im not too sure

lapis echo Oct 23, 2024, 2:02 AM

#
