That does look good. I don't hate Dolphin as a file manager (I just don't like it lol). I mean, all of those file managers are too graphically confusing for me because I'm used to my X File Explorer for approaching 25 years (it was X Wincommander back then) You should be able to change those alterna...

It looks like Amazon is THE place to buy hardware. I've been happy with the shipping (I'd say exemplary for around here) but the return procedure has gotten so easy I'm gobsmacked. I was going to just initiate an RMA and probably procrastinate for a day or two as I'm wont to do but it was so easy I ...

It sure is a disconnect, I was pretty pissed off setting up Dad's laptop. (though I was better prepared for it than he was lol)

This is actually my first computer that's never had a Windows install on it. (never going to... it's too detestable now, unlike Windows 7)

That's a lot of blue coming from those fans, even with the stock fan in the center. Notice how it cancels out the red in your purple motherboard extender cable. It's all blue (just an observation, not that it matters or anything) lol I generally don't go for lighting, and didn't like that pulsating ...

I had a more in-depth poke at the fan settings in my bios, and NOW I understand that (what I thought was a) bogus low 900 RPM'ish value from fan3 (fans connected to the hub). While I had Smart Fan Control off for both CPU and SYS fans, and while the CPU fan was running at 100% (it's simply a 1500 RP...

... and just like a Bethesda game, I pressed tilde ~ to bring up a console and typed "tgm" for total god mode, where you don't take damage and you don't consume ammo :-) HOWEVER, unlike a Bethesda game, it warned me that certain console commands will disable achievements. I don't care. But...

The tower/radiator does most of the cooling. I see those guys testing boards just with the tower set on the die with paste, not even fastened down, with no fan. (This isn't under load of course)

Well, damnit, I made one teeny, tiny little mistake in my otherwise perfect surgery. I had yanked my CPU fan connector from the board to tuck it behind something else, and plugged it back into the pump_fan header. It was working, but it became "fan2" and it was running at slightly lower RP...

It's too easy... for everyone else to play. That's the only reason they'd complain about "too many health materials" (they cut that down... there aren't as many of them to pick up in game anymore either) and wanting to put a cooldown on it. If they are that "good" then why are th...

Heheh yeah, another thing Corsair doesn't think we need anymore. I had that on the Fractal case and it worked for the M.2. I guess that doesn't really matter anymore, if I want to watch i/o I'll use a util. It is a different way of thinking, working with this case. Why I wanted the bigger one was to...

I thought I'd try that game again, seeing as I have new hardware. I bought the Phantom Libery DLC and everything. Well... I detest the changes they made to the game since the last time I had it installed. The showstopper was nerfing the way health packs work, now there's a cooldown period before you...

I'm waiting until I break mine. Notice I said "until", not unless :lol: Not expensive if I need it. (meanwhile I'm being very careful with that glass panel. I have to take it off to move the computer anyway (it's fucking heavy and I have to be able to not only lift it, but manoeuver it wit...

I think Google is insisting on that now, for youtube videos. I'm seeing that on vids now.

You sure like to taunt me with mayonnaise!

I loved Windows 95 original OEM release (once they started grafting shit onto it, A, B and especially C with the horrid USB stack added, it got unstable). It was a huge improvement at home, from the Windows 3.11 environment I hated at school. (I was taking college courses... I did most of what I cou...

Yeah, the MSI calculator wouldn't be calculating actual needs, but relative to what PSU you should buy for your hardware. So with that score of 815, it recommends an 850W PSU. Those watt meters you're showing me, you're measuring input wattage of AC household current the PSU is drawing, not the rect...

Damn, I went to the link in this thread to my pending power supply to review the specs and see that it's $50 more today than I paid yesterday. Sold and shipped by Amazon, Prime logo etc. both new. I paid $239 CAD for it yesterday, and now it's listed at $289

Sometimes it pays to impulse buy

I know I don't need a 1000W power supply anymore (hardware doesn't draw that much now) but I always overdo everything. I got on that train back in the dual Nvidia GPU days and did that card ever draw juice, and suck a bag of dick at the same time. I'm thinking about all the fans, and maybe one of th...

Yeah, I paid $90 CAD for that, on sale. I'm not one to buy a game without the DLC though. I like the game so far though. That last moon where I had just landed, I had to explore an abandoned research facility to find where those pirates were holed up, and kill them all. I was exploring all these roo...

Whether it helps or not, it'll be nice to have that cleaned up. It might actually be something I'll have to live with (avoid) and it's not that uncommon. This board may just be sensitive to that interference. I found a Steve video talking about that very thing, static electricity. It seems I have th...

Well, pretty good so far. It works great on "Ultra" with all those stupid resolution scaling features turned off, that reduce your graphics to increase performance (e.g. AMD Fidelity Shmidelity). It seems like a good old Bethesda RPG. It didn't waste too much time getting off the ground. I...

I bought Starfield last night (but haven't installed it yet). Probably the last Bethesda game that was developed before they got Microsofted. I just happened to get it 33% off last night (with about 5 hours to go) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1716740/Starfield/ It gets horrible reviews everywh...

Installing that blue 3 speed fan up top on the front fan rail was a good thing to do, it helped with the temperatures all around, both CPU and PCH sensor chip. It's a higher velocity fan too, on the highest switch position. I'm happy with my fan placement now at least. That fan hub inside the back o...

AVX sure is deadly poison :lol: I thought I ought to be able to run my Firefox build over on the other box, "-march=core2 -mtune=alderlake" but that's just for C/C++. I forgot that I didn't need to disable target-cpu=alderlake for Rust. So it just instantly barfs with illegal instruction o...

Yeah, another reason I'm replacing the PSU. (rule that out).

Well... shit. Know what I did? Let's throw more money at the problem. I ordered the side connecting PSU and two sets of braided flexible connection extenders. Sucks... I need two PSU cables and there's only one in a set. Corsair RM1000x Shift Fully Modular ATX Power Supply - Modular Side Interface -...

I wanted to wait until I felt good about my computer, but this is what it looks like for now. At the very least (even if I don't change the motherboard) I'm either going to get one of those Corsair side connecting PSU's, and/or PSU cable extenders like I see ALL of those guys using in their videos. ...

Damn, no, it's only when I have a static charge. If I discharge myself I can't duplicate the spontaneous power up, or the disruption if it's already running. So I'm back to my original hypothesis. This board must have some sort of EM sensitivity in that it can't tolerate a static discharge to ground...

Fuck... I still have the same problem in this case. I didn't think so until now, but I was shut down (but PSU switch still on) and was removing the covers to install another fan today and the PC started up by itself. I would have touched both sides of the case while doing that, but not the top, the ...

I saw that Microcenter advertised, that looks like an awesome place to shop. We don't have shit that elabourate here. You could go in there with a shopping cart and get everything you need for a build... even pay them to do it for you while you wait. I've got to say, that is one thing I do not enjoy...
