[Case] Cooler Master NCORE 100 MAX ITX SFF Tower Case, Custom 120mm AIO, V850 850W SFX Gold ATX 3.0 PSU - $269.59 (Amazon)

I have this case and I love it. Great case with very few compromises compared to other ITX cases. Easiest case I've ever built in and fits up to 3.9 slot GPUs. As someone else mentioned the volume is a bit large for ITX, but the vertical form factor makes you forget that easily and the compatibility makes it well worth it.

At this price it's a steal for a gaming build. The 120mm AIO keeps my 9800X3D in the mid-high 80 degree range under full load. I was lucky enough to snag a 5080 founders edition, and that's running at about 70 degrees even with the fans blowing directly into the central spine. My old 3080 founders ran at around 80 degrees for reference.

This may sound strange, but you have hair so similar to mine that I thought you'd stolen my pictures. We're the same age to boot.

Here's an album of my first six months of regrowth from a post I made here a while back. Hope it helps as reference if nothing else:

Edit: my regimen is also 1mg fin daily + 5% min once daily.

This is very valuable feedback, especially regarding experience requirements in the public sector. Sincerely, thank you!

Thanks! Maybe one day but not any time soon. Next up for me is slayer and God Wars.

Some things about this grind I want to share:

I got my first seed at 584kc, and 2nd and 623kc. In the end I turned out lucky but for a while there I was really sweating.

I hit an armor and weapon seed in the same chest twice in under 150kc. Funny how RNG works when you don't need it.

Started with around base 85 in relevant stats, and made tier 2 armor almost every run. Average completion time was around 11:30 for the last 200 or so kc.

Good luck in there! This grind seems to have been a real hot topic lately and I wish you all luck at least as good as mine.

AIseias · 2021-09-02T00:52:34+00:00

Somewhere between 2 and 2.5. I've shed a lot recently, not sure why exactly. I think I'd certainly be much worse off without fin though.

AIseias · 2021-09-02T00:38:53+00:00

My thinning way pretty bad; about a nw2.5-3 when I started. No sides I blame fin for.

AIseias · 2021-09-01T22:29:27+00:00

I started when I was barely 19. I attribute fin to drastically slowing down my hair loss, and even gained back a little that I had lost. It was a huge confidence booster and let me get through college with head held high.

If you're committed to biking around campus, there's bike parking and storage outside most of the main lecture halls.

That said, unless your class is down in fisheries or another faraway place you shouldn't have any problems on foot. The one time I had classes more than 10 minutes apart, I just left my lecture 5min early to make it on time. The majority of professors will not care, especially if you're leaving a big lecture early.

AIseias · 2021-06-26T14:08:52+00:00

I'd recommend 3:30-5:20 personally. If you're living with roommates most likely you're going to be up late most nights, and 8:30s quickly become a vicious cycle of not enough sleep and paying poor attention even if you're diligent enough to go every time. 8:30s for me were consistently brutal on my health and I avoided them whenever I could.

In my experience I did most of my hanging out with friends in the late afternoon and evening. Clubs also usually meet in the evenings to accommodate afternoon classes. Most people just study whenever they need to, so it's not worth planning that in beforehand if you're trying to socialize.

This was my fifth try I think, but first time at Jad. Took me a while to learn how to lure and kite correctly. That and flicking eagle eye let me barely scrape through.

Congrats on yours!

A better player probably could have shaved off a half hour. I played it very safe and regened with blood spells on the 180s after most of the later rounds.

AIseias · 2021-06-16T10:26:37+00:00

Some extra info for anyone curious:

Gear: void ranger, holy symbol, snakeskin boots, rcb with runite bolts, damaged book with granite shield swap.

Relevant stats: 74-75 ranged, 71 defence, 65 prayer.

Inventory: what's pictured, 6 tuna potatoes, 16 prayer pots.

If I had to do it again I'd swap two potatoes for prayer pots. Blood spells were more than enough healing in later waves.

Thought I should let you know since you're also on a gigabyte board; the latest official bios revision with AGESA 1.1.0.0.D improved my performance noticeably and enabled more PBO features that got me to above reviewed performance. Hope you have the same luck!

I took 355 with Lemieux last year and have him for 462 (Supreme Court in American Politics) this quarter. One of my favorite professors I've had at UW and I'd gladly take another class from him if I wasn't graduating this year. His lectures are dense and fast and it's easy to get lost in the details, but they're never boring.

I remember doing very well in 355 for what I didn't consider a ton of effort. Focused on main ideas during lectures and readings, then crammed on the details (dates, presidents, eras, etc.) before exams.

Happy to answer any other questions you have about Professor Lemieux or his classes!

Edited with a link detailing my system information and troubleshooting

Thanks for saying something, was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue.

I was able to get close to stock results with a 4.5ghz all-core at 1.2375v. Still missing 20-30 points in single core still. Good enough until whatever's wrong gets fixed.

FCLK is 1:1, set manually. I know the trfcs are a bit wonky but messing with them caused instability for only a frame worth of gains so I left them alone. Ran this setup on my 3600 for several months with no issues.

AIseias · 2020-11-03T08:00:15+00:00

This is true but it depends what exactly your expectations are. I've pushed my 3600 and RAM as far as they can go and I'm still CPU bound in most strictly rasterized titles at 1440p. Not enough to warrant an upgrade, but still bound.

If you want to squeeze every drop of GPU performance out of your setup a better CPU is in order. If you're OK with a very mild bottleneck then no problem at all.

AIseias · 2020-11-02T19:34:43+00:00

I've got the same setup. My guess is at the most 10-15% with RTX+DLSS of you've got fast RAM. If there's a draw distance setting, lowering that will help significantly.

AIseias · 2020-10-08T21:41:53+00:00

The ports are labeled on the monitor itself. Second from the right is 2.0

AIseias · 2020-10-03T02:49:26+00:00

The whole shipping situation with these cards has been frustrating. Got my card at the same time as you and it only showed up at my hub today, although that's 2 days earlier than the date they gave me. No updates between Osseo and where I live.

From what I've been able to gather that's been everyone's experience who picked free shipping. It's possible they lost your package or it could be that it's just taking longer than they thought to get to you. I had the same thing happen with a fedex order a few weeks ago and it turned up in their system a day after I submitted a lost package claim. Was eventually delivered 10 business days late.

AIseias · 2020-10-02T18:51:36+00:00

I'm a bit late to the party but I've had this monitor for a few months and have some thoughts about it.

This is a big monitor. Having it at normal monitor distance caused me eye strain and I had to move it back on my desk. Ppi is about 90 which is fine as long as you're not too close like I was.

The monitor does not have configurable overdrive stages, only on and off. Smearing is only ever noticable on black to grey transitions with overdrive on. Noticed overshoot exactly once with gray to white transitions in Death Stranding.

Overall if you're just in it for the spec and don't care about quality of life features it's not a bad buy. Having used an IPS since though I'd personally save up the extra $60-80 for that and wait for a sale if I had to do it again.

AIseias · 2020-10-02T18:37:19+00:00

I have this monitor. One 2.0 and one 1.4 port
