That's why I'm your resident micro center shill
Buy whatever place has it cheapest
but if its a CPU it's usually micro center >:]
hoary zodiac
Yeah
They have a lot of deals tho
So if you're looking for a one stop shop
You can get a pretty well priced build

Dang. Mines 45 on the highway

It might be worth it if you're building a whole pc
At these gas prices?
It’s about 200 miles

For 200 miles

I think its over man because the country is built without it in mind
hoary zodiac
Even if you have to go from train > bus > ferry

But it feels the automotive industry and keeps the gas companies happy
And the freight companies have control over the rails, so amtrak can't do much

Like it would cost so much that it would not happen

It'd still be dirt cheap

I think its over man because the country is built without it in mind
Lots of places have non walkable streets

America is not made to be walkable
And that’s probably a contributing factor to our growing obesity problem
hoary zodiac
When you look at the big picture it's a bonus
With cost of living this high you don't get people going out that much these days
Cheap transport is a great incentive
wise wigeon
Rn over 80% of the us is overweight or obese
empty tide
And that’s probably a contributing factor to our growing obesity problem

Your obesity isn’t the greatest either

But within your own network you'll get good speeds

You MUST reduce the power limit if you want to reduce power, undervolt will just make clocks higher (It's how you overclock) if you don't reduce ppt

you said you got it from best buy
Yyeeeeeep
hoary zodiac
That they don't know that shipping the product box without packaging it would damage the product
wise wigeon
Though it was shipped from Atlanta and I’ve been to Atlanta
frigid stag
Probably returned lmao
hoary zodiac
The product box isn't designed to be shipped by itself
They're designed to be packed in a bigger box and shipped
frigid stag
It’s definitely a return, send it back
hoary zodiac
I hate stupid people
wise wigeon
Probably returned lmao
Nah the seals were pretty intact
frigid stag
Still shouldn’t be arriving like that
opaque sedge
Yyeeeeeep
some kid working part time there who's a dlss fanboy def did that, since best buy delivers products they alr have in the store as compared to warehouse shipping from the likes of amazon

At least Amazon has standards

But they have a longer return period
hoary zodiac
They don't ship stuff without packing it

Eh depends

But at least they don't just ship you the product box

Nope

Some QC shenanigans going on

Bios option is fine
The best in fact imo
wise wigeon
Yeah it’s just weird that it’s called optimized defaults
mortal grail
Reset to default is effectively a cmos clear, then the ssd wipe via bios will clear it for the rest
wise wigeon
Makes it seem like they tweaked things

Or you can delete the partitions in Windows Installation Media before you install Windows
