Myself and many young pc hardware enthusiasts are self hosting anything and everything they can. It may not ultimately work out sadly but the fight is on.
Alder and Raptor are excellent. I still need to dial on my 13900k box. It’s Cachyos and gaming only. Lots of fun to tinker with and performance aplenty for my needs. Nice job on yours!
Sucks erek…. My buddy sent his melted connector 5090 to a third party shop for a replacement connector and for now it’s working fine again. He is definitely out of the high end GPU space after this though. Said he would go with a 9070xt with 8pins if it fails again. I’m still firmly in the camp...
The b50 I bought on a lark and daily drive was 350 new and is now 599! Yikes. I did catch a trade in (refurbished) 5060 8g for my son at Microcenter for 239 before tax a month ago though. A steal apparently…
Receipt!
Interesting 🤔. Could be on to something. I’m on 12th /13th. Gen Intel an some am4 stuff still putting in work. No plans to upgrade anything with ram a storage still borked on pricing.
I have several spares on the shelf and try to use them for requested builds. The last year has been slow with the prices of everything going to poo. I’ll probably list them locally for peanuts to get them gone.
