I’m sure it will, haha

Thank you! I might try replacing the PSU when it’s in the budget. More likely, I will eventually do a whole system replacement when the CPU and GPU (and by extension, the mobo, PSU and ram)

That ought to clear up the problem ;)

Necro post, but I bought it in summer of 2021! It’s not terribly old.

Yeah, I dropped the OC, but it still randomly turns off in Elite Dangerous and in seldom cases, Helldivers 2. Power limiting the GPU to 80% fixes it, annoyingly.

And the CPU OC is actually with an undervolt, and it’s stable so long as the GPU is at 80% of its power envelope. I have no clue what the hell that’s about, haha. It feels like I’m taking crazy pills.

The PSU is a SeaSonic PRIME Platinum 1000 W 80+ Platinum, so I’m really at a loss aside from the 3080Ti pulling massive current for a brief spike.

That sounds great!

Two hard drives, a SATA SSD, an nvme SSD, a standard pump, and a ryzen 5800x OCed. That’s it!

In my case, I have 3x 120 on the 360mm radiator and 2x120 on top for the 240mm radiator, and one exhaust fan that is also 120.

That said, I think you could easily get away with three to five case fans depending on cooling, fan size, etc.

140mm fans can also move a lot of air, and I used those for years. 120s just fit my current and prior case a bit better.

Looks cool! I hope they release a slider, someday. I miss my 00s era slider.

Another great fan are the Phanteks T30s (120mm), if you have room. They are thicker than normal fans, but are about as quiet as Be Quiet fans, while moving tons of air.

You just need to make sure that your case has clearance for them. They are absolutely cracked on thick radiators and exhaust fans. I use them on custom water-cooling builds, and the loudest sound is coil whine, not fans.

I agree on the PSU. Nothing is worse than continually buying PSUs because voltage spikes cause the PC to draw too much power. My 3080ti makes my 1,000w seasonic occasionally turn off, which is incredibly annoying.

For me, it wasn’t that, but the ribbon cable inside. A 20 cent part broke, but Samsung won’t allow techs to fix that. Their “fix” is to replace the hinge, inner, and outer screens, a $600 part. Maddening, considering the cable can be fixed.

It’s cool, but $2,000 is way too expensive, especially if it has issues and can’t last 5-6 years at least. My Samsung Z fold broke a few years in, and the cost to repair exceeded buying a replacement phone.

Hmm. I think your GPU would run in 8x mode, but it should be fine, even sharing lanes with the network card.

I’ve run cards off mobos with the same number of lanes, and a very similar gigabyte pcie network card, and it ran flawlessly.

I’d check the physical connection, look for damage to the antenna connectors where the wire meets the SMA connector, and try swapping in the old GPU as a control if you still have it. On paper, things should still be fine.

I want to grab mgsv when it drops below $20. $20 for a 2015 title feels a bit steep.

I’d take my chances if I was 100% boned in a failing shuttle or space station. But yes, that would be a bleak re-entry.

They do, but only because most platforms suck ass. Logging into Origin or Microsoft stores is miserable, and social integration is rare, or broken AF. If everything was cross platform, cross play, and universal social profiles and security, I’m fine with multiple platforms.

They actually still make mega-wheats, which are quite fun. It’s old-school cereal. Throw some frozen berries on it, and it tastes about the same as contemporary stuff.

This is really sweet :)

You should have seen my face the first time I learned he was actually married.

There really is someone for everyone, as impossible as that sounds.

Your blanket is really cute! I always find it endearing when people I dated had a stuffed animal or a blanket they slept with. It was always a good sign that they didn’t just repress things and have a totally bare bedroom.

One of the green flags, honestly, when I started dating my now-spouse.

Unfortunately I’ve never come across that fabric, but good luck!
