    WTB: Windows 10 pro install key

    Hey squad, I was repairing my friend's mom's laptop last night. HDD is dying so I threw an SSD in there. I am excited to see if this $28 dollar upgrade breathes new life into her 5 year old Toshiba that was taking nearly 5 minutes to fully boot up. Anyway, I pulled the product key using the...

    Portal with RTX

    Looks awesome. I'll play it if my 3080ti can handle it. My only concern is one of the things that makes source titles so enjoyable is the fluidity of playing with fps in the hundreds.

    Been using mine for about a year. I'm very happy with it for my main TV. Steady updates and they are still adding new features and fixing bugs. Great deal! No more dealing with Fire sticks and Apple TV.

    The EU doing the stuff our regulators are too lazy to do

    I support many of the ideas presented. We are in the minority here though, I am sorry to say. Not many moderates or left leaning people here.

    Just confirmed it is going to be here Tuesday. Since this thing died i got an RTX 3080 10gb from a user here and it crushes anything i might find a few minutes to play. I might just sell this thing. If I wanted to mine with it I could just get 2 2080TI's and be better off by 70+ MH, yes even...

    update. MSI ghosted me for a couple weeks. When I emailed them they said there was physical damage and they couldn't issue a replacement so they will be sending broken card back. I called and said the only "damage" done was to the sticker to open heatsink to replace thermal paste which I am...

    gaming QoS was enabled. I turned that off and now I am at 240/42 right next to router. I'm sure there are more stupid options in here somewhere. I'll keep searching.

    Yea even my iphone sitting right on top of the router is stuck at 40mbps. Just can't wrap my head around what setting could cause this. I will make another run through to make sure there is no QoS settings though.

    5800X3D gaming review

    i got a coupon for $50 off 5800x from microcenter. glad I didn't use that because it seems like the 3d cache really is worth it for gaming. im quite amazed. Should be an awesome bump from a 3700x.

    [DEAD] HyperX Cloud Stinger - Gaming Headset - $8 Shipped After Coupon "DISCORDVIP"

    It's $35 on Amazon. Doesn't seem worth upgrading from Cloud 2. Might be time for me to look into a dedicated set of headphones because I use a boom mic anyway. Any suggestions on decent budget headphones?

    Ok i will do that. I have dealt with this guy before and I dont think hes gonna ditch me. Also it was in-person transaction. I was just worried the RMA would be denied because they might blame that the card was tampered with. Do you think they will charge a fee to repair? been forever since...
