my grandfather would be 99 this year...he died in 2008 from dementia. He bought an apple II when they came out and played the helicopter game with the two paddles. It wasn't a powerful enough machine, so he quickly got an at&t 6300 (I think) and got MS flight sim and monopoly. His favorite...

that is correct. I have two drives that can do 4ks, but i had to install different firmware.

I'm not surprised. That said, I still only buy physical media. I have a 120in screen and a projector with an atmos system in the basement with an oppo 4K player that made getting a GPU during the apocalypse look easy. Streamed content is wonky...especially in the black parts of a picture...

I use pirate ship to figure out shipping....sometimes a regular box is cheaper than a flat rate box. I've seen where cardboard packed over the cpu socket has been used when there isn't the guard. Maybe you could go back/call and ask microcenter if they have any spare guards.

That is gross... So my 5950x is like 75% of a 14900k, I should be able to get 250k. a 5950x is just two 5800x put together...so now we are down to 125k. I have an fx4300...maybe I can recreate White Bluffs, Washington

So you're like me...want one but don't really have a purpose. Heck, that is why I have a 5950x. A 5800x would be just find....I can only spend money so fast on Amazon.

what sort of setup?

I prefer the google imagery in both situations to bing. i also use google earth a lot for work stuff, so it may be familiarity.

then you must need to practice more to get better so you dont lose.

Flight sim with google earth instead of bing maps mod is amazing in VR.

Nice. I want one, although I'm not sure what for exactly... I have a 5950x and a 3090 and the toughest thing I play is heavily modded minecraft.

Sarcasm doesn't come through on here very well... I have a $15 set that looks about the same that I got from my local mom and pop true value.

You dont want the LTT screwdriver??

Hp reverb g2 with a 5950x and 3090, although thinking about downgrading to a 3080. Only game has been flight sim, although want to try and get minecraft java figured out. Not sure what else is worthwhile.

So CS2 is actually using all the cores/threads? pretty cool if a game is actually using the whole thing.

I get mine at our local True Value hardware. They have a whole of aisle of fasteners. We also have a place here called Tacoma Screw. And yes, put a nut on before you cut to essentially rethread the screw. When you cut it, it messed up the entry point and you'll always cross thread. The...

Good advice... Got to be careful with everything. I did pick up a used pump off ebay. Then a rad that had a mangled box, but the rad itself was fine.

No experience with the newer platforms but as of right now, my favorite mobos are gigabyte. A few months ago I had to rma an asus z590 and b550. msi used to be my favorite...but I had an x299 die on me. Only have one asrock...seems fine. The bios seems kinda wonky to me, but I'm used to...

I've been running a 32in 1440p display at both home and work for about 18mo. I just sat down to my old display, a 32in 1080p and was amazed at how much grainier it was. I've been thinking about getting a 32in 4k display at home...how much would that annoy me at work with "only" 1440p?

Well, this is annoying... I take it to the other room and it works... It seems to be some issue with my kvm.

I run an msi b450 a pro max with a 3600x, 32gb ram and rx 570 for a minecraft server running ubuntu. This morning I shut it down to install a 3080. When I started back up the monitor went on and the cursor blinked and then stopped. The VGA debug light just stays on. Swapped back to the...

Yeah, that. Seems a bit pointless until we actually have devices catch up with even PCIe gen4 and then the mobos are going to have to do a better job at divvying out PCIe lanes. I have a avermedia capture card. It runs PCIe gen 2 x4. Their best run card looks to run at Gen3 x4...

Sounds like an episode of Seinfeld.

I have an idea...granted, I don't know much about QSFP, so not sure how good of an idea this is... It looks like you can get either a intel 810 series NIC or a mellanox connectx 5 ex series nic. Now they say they are 100Gbps cards. Sooo, they run at PCIe 4.0 x16. You're not after that much...

Just need to find a wizbang on aliexpress that takes two m.2 slots and then aggregates them into a single x8.

Yup...hotter. This was a question on my 1995 IB physics exam and I answered it as the temp would stay the same. Still not sure how it was graded because efficiency wasn't mentioned in the question. It has only been bugging me for nearly 30 years.

That is the same problem as every other board. you put the GPU in slot #1 and it runs at x16. Then, you skip slot #2 and put the card in slot #3 which is x16 long, so the card will fit, but it only has the pins for x4, so it runs x4....not the x8 that is being requested. This dumb pci-e...

Well, in my house I have several samsung drives, several WD drives, a few silicon power drives and then one by sk hynix. All but the sk hynix I bought. The silicon powers, I actually have three; one that failed and had to be RMAed within a few months. RMA was kinda weird because it isn't...

I know I cant be the only one that keeps an old machine around to test new configurations and concepts so I can reinstall a new OS without screwing anything up. What does everyone use to test stuff? I have an fx-8350 with 16gb of ram with a mobo that actually has an nvme slot. Gpu is either...

I'd echo this..for me to sell one would just be a PITA. Not only that, they are a dime a dozen these days. That said, I really like this one. It is both USB A and USB C.

I sent as native...must have gotten resized. I cant reupload now. I'm not at work anymore.

just curious, what tool are you using?

well, seeing as it still hasn't resurfaced...it went through the window picture on the left side.

If it were me, I'd get the 2x16GB and get 3600mhz ram. Then write down all my timings from the 3000mhz kit. Put the 3600mhz in and manually input all the timings from the 3000 kit in. OR Just roll with the 32. I'm not sure I'd worry much about mismatched ram. there are videos out there...

Those are 3060tis and 3070s...don't worry too much if they've been mined on. They were probably undervolted to keep power consumption low and the gddr6 on the 3060ti/3070 kept cool as compared to the gddr6 on the 3080 and above. I use a mined on card...I did the mining, but it is fine.

So some interesting data points... Truenas with an intel 540 to ubuntu with aqc113 I get 6.3 ish. Same the other way. To max out, i have to run two in parallel. Everything is using mtu 9014. ETA: So this has been an interesting endeavor. on my main machine I could only get about 5-6Gbps...

peachy....been several days and it hasn't come back. As a last resort, I tried the line thing, but the line is actually thicker than the one it actually had. Nothing like wanting your display to break.

well that explains why telefragger was getting kneecapped on the bottom slot. While mechanically a x16 it was only electrically x1. Can't say I've seen many x16 with only x1 electrically on many spec sheets. My understanding is it would be more common for an open slot or something. I don't...

mine is a x99...it is an old HEDT. I think the xeon i have something like 40 lanes....I dunno. I'm not lane challenged. Heck, I put my 1080ti in the bottom and it still runs at x16. TeleFragger has a Z690. Not reading the manual because I'm lazy and it cant be much different than my x570 as...
