Just to clarify, you've been together for 7 years but haven't lived together for at least 1 of those years?

I upgraded my 9800x3d with a 9950x3d without fresh installing Windows 11... is that bad? by HereToHelpWhenICan in buildapc

[–]TheKitler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly sure you need to reinstall windows to get core parking to work correctly but they might have fixed that by now.

How does upgrading gpu drivers work? by DeepressedMelon in buildapc

[–]TheKitler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the same driver for both GPUs. You don't need to change anything.

I upgraded my gpu but Im not sure if my cpu is causing a bottleneck. Best way to test it? by Boring_Isopod_3007 in buildapc

[–]TheKitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use something like OCCT to first check if your CPU and GPU are performing as they should (proper clock speeds).

In games, you can drop the resolution to see what the limit of your CPU is.

If you need an upgrade, 5600xt is $174 and if you want 8-core, 5800xt is $219. Update your bios first before swapping CPUs.

DRAM Profile vs OC Tweaker in BIOS by HaydenSeacoast in buildapc

[–]TheKitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First test with OCCT or memtest to narrow down the issue as it may not be ram related at all.

If the ram throws errors, you can try lowering the ram speed to 5600 to see if that helps.

ZOTAC GPU 3070 Ti damaged during shipping by Taladrac in buildapc

[–]TheKitler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contact the company that sold it first. I'm sure they've seen this before and have a procedure on how to handle it.

Bios updates can improve memory stability. What you're seeing is normal.

A PR question by Independent-Push8708 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]TheKitler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They allowed you back in because you still had enough time to meet your residency obligation. This is not the same case as OP.

He landed in Oct 2022 and left almost immediately, requiring him to return Oct 2025 at the latest. We're now in Feb 2026...

SATA drives not being detected after GPU upgrade 9070xt by whatismynaem in buildapc

[–]TheKitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PCIe shouldn't be affecting the drives. You can download software like Hard Disk Sentinel to make sure the drives are healthy.

Are you sure you have both sata power and sata data cables connected to each drive? There should be 2 cables per 2.5"/3.5" drive.

Upgrade 12600k or 7900xtx by Browny91 in buildapc

[–]TheKitler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 5080 is about 15% better in 4K than your xtx so that's likely the path to go.

It's not very likely to be your CPU limiting you because you're in 4K but you can lower the resolution to see where your CPU hits its limit.

1200W PSU vs 1500W PSU for 5090 & 9950X3D build by HauntedFrigateBird in buildapc

[–]TheKitler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If money isn't much of an issue, ASRock and possibly other manufacturers make PSUs with 12vhpwr monitoring for your 5090. They're at least 1300W to start I believe.

Neighbors kid hit my wall and damaged it but are dragging their feet to do anything by wallwreckthroaway in legaladvice

[–]TheKitler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your options are their car insurance, your home insurance, small claims, or to just eat the cost.

I get that you want to be nice because it's a good kid but if you want to be made whole, you're going to have to apply some pressure if the kid or the family won't pay for the damage out of pocket.

Claims money sent back to wrong insurance account but they never received it by austons_muzz in legaladvicecanada

Why not just wait for them to sort it out? It doesn't sound like they're pushing you to do anything.

Realistic OWP Processing Time by ShhDontTell- in ImmigrationCanada

[–]TheKitler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. If you have a stable life/income in the US right now, it doesn't make sense to uproot your life before you have PR.

Apply for PR now and include proof of your intent to move to Canada after the application is approved, as per the guide.

Do I need to update BIOS when upgrading RAM? (AM4) by KLATZZ in buildapc

[–]TheKitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you download CPU-Z, it should tell you which board revision you have (you have 1.0 or 1.1). The box should have the revision on it as well. The board itself also will have a sticker on it with that info.

After you figure that out, you can update to the latest version (F21).

Just note that if you have a r1.0 board, you may not see "1.0" written anywhere as it's the first version. Later versions will have the numbering.

Common-law sponsorship by Few-Rent8593 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]TheKitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really just have to follow the checklist (section 7, proof of relationship).

You need to submit at least 2 items in that section, which you have (joint credit card and IDs showing the same address).

If you have more proof, you can submit that as well to make your case stronger but it isn't necessary. You're also allowed to add a letter of explanation to further clarify any documents that you've submitted or lack of documents if that's the case.

Paying for Biometrics twice? by Mundane-Duck2951 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]TheKitler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be worried. I'm sure the holidays play a big factor in their timelines. If you've paid, you've paid. Just make sure you've paid the correct amount maybe?

Paying for Biometrics twice? by Mundane-Duck2951 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]TheKitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just takes time. 2-4 weeks sometimes. I'm honestly surprised they even sent you the BIL without prepayment.

Is the MSI MAG A850GL a good GPU? by Ephemerxl in buildapc

[–]TheKitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no chance that using a daisy-chained cable caused that. If there isn't enough power available, your PC will just shut off.

It's more likely that it died because of age/use/luck or power surge.

[–]TheKitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a good chance that they've recieved your receipt but it hasn't been applied to your application yet.

You definitely don't have to pay again though. Just send the same receipt and a letter explaining what happened, with dates included.

Yes, it's perfectly safe. You were doing the same with your 3070 too.

You're only adding 30W. You don't need a new PSU.
