Drop from "ultra" settings to the next step down - you really won't notice much of a difference in visuals, if any. Generally the built-in benchmarks don't represent actual gameplay very well.

For now, the tariffs have been pushed back for a year. https://www.techspot.com/news/103202-us-graphics-card-motherboard-tariffs-pushed-back-another.html

@#22 & @maxfly As much as it is fun to see you guys spit back and forth about your feelings for bequiet! fans, perhaps move the unnecessary bickering to PMs and just keep the bequiet! customer service stuff here for others to read about. With any faulty fans you guys may have seen, have you...

Case filters came in a day early from Demciflex. I'll get them all put on later tonight after doing the family life stuff.

Don't get me wrong, based on my two experiences with them it does appear that their QC needs some sprucing up. On the other hand, at least they help fix their fuck ups, so they do have that going for them. Here's hoping they will continue to improve where they need it.

Just an update: Correct fan clips came in! Took a few minutes to get it installed and now I've got both fans on the Pure Slim Rock 2 cooler (I know the case itself on the inside is a bit dusty - I've got case filters coming from Demciflex that should arrive Thursday): Idle temps dropped by...

Am I missing something here? This sounds kind of tediously boring. Based on the description it doesn't sound like you even get to build the tram system. It's all designed and laid out for you. You just get behind the wheel and follow a pre-existing track and then you manage them.

I know that MN, regardless of what state your purchase is made from (or even if out of state) or if the purchase is even digital (such as an online game sale) any site that sells to you in MN must include sales tax. I don't recall if it was a state law or federal law (without looking it up) a...

Just to be on the safe side, if you're curious what most US folks would pay when they post the price of something, just add 10% and that'll cover the taxes for majority of places. Tax rates vary by state and even city. Sales tax in Minneapolis is over 9% whereas you hit up an outlying city next...

This is crazy. It was the very start of January 2021 when I got my 5900x which had only launched about 2 months prior. Not even 4 years have passed and it feels like I'm getting so far behind. I'm excited to see how they turn out. I may not be in the need for one, but I find it exciting to see...

I couldn't find my copy - may have been lost between letting my brother borrow it and the fact that he has moved twice and my self once in the past 10 years. I tracked down another copy to put back into my collection. It's next on my list of retro games to play soon.

Just kept it inside my little computer tool kit case that sat in my closet. No where special. The paste always came out looking the same and having the same consistency as it did the first time I used it.

I never had any issues with Arctic Silver 5. I think my last AS5 I had for about 8+ years before I used it all up. In fact, the last of it I used on my 5600X3D when I installed it and the new cooler a handful of months back. I used the same tube of AS5 when I completely pulled apart my 980Ti...

My daughter is a huge F1 fan. If I wanted to be bored with knowing more about it I could ask her. She takes it upon herself to fully update her knowledge of the game. She's got F23 and proceeded to explain to me the difference between the previous year's game and that one; good and bad changes...

I game across 1440p, most games run between 5 and 9GB of VRAM that I play. I guess it all depends on games you play and settings you play them at. Personally I would say 12GB for 1440p would be ideal.
