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.

Does Europe have fabs? Or are they purely reliant on Asia and the US fabs?

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.

I’d much rather have a cutting edge nuclear plant nearby rather than a data center. Especially since the nuclear plant probably wouldn’t have much in the way of emissions, unlike gas turbines at AI data centers.

I still miss WP daily. It was a fantastic OS. Way ahead of its time, too.

That’s not bad! I largely don’t drive anymore, unless there’s something I cannot do by ebike or train. I would like to get a used EV someday for those times where I really do need a car.

How much was it, roughly, if you don’t mind me asking?

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.

Modern glassholes

I just don’t really know how it’s really going to work. Couldn’t you just design your own parts with one weird bit of geometry and the computer wouldn’t recognize it?

Like, I get you don’t want ghost guns, but it seems like the bigger prize is going after illegal and currently legal guns that are actually used in mass shootings. 3D printed stuff seems like small potatoes compared to the daily casualty rates.

Silksong winning GOTY and BGYSA is great. Seeing Peak up there was nice too. I was a little surprised to see BG3- great game, but I thought it was EOLed in 2024 after native steam deck support.

I don’t think even doing that now will save the them. They’ll have to bring in slave labor or stolen children to plug the gap, and it will have to be millions and millions of people.

It’s also needed for their HOTAS line, but considering it has sliders, toggles, buttons and yaw, I kind of understand why. It also allows you to bind sliders to keys and such (eg, binding a slider to landing gear)
