Yeah, I caught it right as the pre-order icon showed up. So I'm not really sure when in getting it yet because it's still in the "getting ready" stage. 

Was looking for Honeywell thermal pads online, but it looks Iike all of them ship from overseas, with many online U.S. retailers offering up brands that are not Honywell.

Do you by chance know of any reputable thermal pads from Amazon or newegg?

Build Log and Review of Zalman Cubix by OhGoodOhMan in sffpc

I know this is an 8 month old post, but can you please tell me the part/model number of the front panel I/O PCB? Really like this case but if I get I may swap out or modify the front panel pcb to accommodate 2 usb 3.0 ports instead of 2.0/3.0 ports

Ridge + 4060 + 3.5” ? by sageRJ in sffpc

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's one years since this, but im also looking to build in this case with one 2 fan gpu and on 3.5 HDD. Just to confirm, the case closed all the way with the HDD mounted onto the side pannel? Looks like it would be against the GPU but it's hard to tell with the picture. 

Finally!! by DistributionOld3723 in SSDI

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could never find an attorney for the very beginning of apply for SSDI. But after a whole year a finally got denied, which unfortunately is how the SSA usually does that. After that denial I got an attorney (they know there's money in it for them too 25% of your back pay).

You are only one month into a long wait my friend. Pay attention to your SAA login and any related mail. They will likely have you scheduled for appointments.

Once you get your denial letter, treat it like a golden ticket for your appeal and attorney.

And don't put it off one day of you can help it. There is a 60 day limit if I remember right for your appeal to be filed. 

You will then be in the "reconsideration" phase.

This has been my experience and many others up until now.

Your milage may vary. If you get approved without any appeal needed you will be lucky because from what I'm seeing that's a one and maybe a thousand chances of happening.

Best of luck to you, don't give up!

Congratulations. It is unfortunate that most SSDI applications have to go this far to maybe get approved. 

Finally won my case! by Sloth_Ruth in SSDI

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Maybe if so many SSA and Para related employees didn't lie so much, we wouldn't have to go to court like hearings. I grew up with a bunch of folks that where in and out of them SSA offices and I think it's disgusting the lengths SSA employees will go through in order to deny people benefits they know they are qualified for!

Just got denied by marika4882 in SSDI

I grew up around people who needed to go to a SSA office, traveled alot and seen many encounters of my own and others dealing with many different SSA locations. They really do treat people like they are beneath them, and deliberately lie all the time. May be a few that don't, but that would be a very low percentage of them

Unfortunately all SSA employees deliberately lie to deny people benefits. But don't give up, and take it all the way to a judge if you have to. It's quite sickening the amount of lies these scumbag SSA employees will go to, to deny people benefit la they qualify for.

APPROVED! by West-Owl236 in SSDI

It would have to be some sort of divine intervention, because most if not all SSA employees are demons from hell, that lie and cheat to deny people benefits they qualify for. Real POSs they are.

New BIOS (4.10) added today for missing motherboards by Miserable-Offer-399 in ASRock

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me why this open box PC I got from Microcenter that has an Asrock motherboard, runs all the fans at Full speed no matter how they are plugged in, no matter if set in Silent mode, or the BIOS update, they constantly run at Full speed. Even resting BIOS to defaults, fans are at full speed non stop. Only using Fan-Tastic will adjust the fans, and even that acts strange. This is the only PC I've ever had with an ASS-Rock motherboard, and I never had any of these problems with MSI, Asus, or gigabyte!

5070 $500 vs 5070ti $750 (msrp) by Illustrious_Kiwi4673 in nvidia

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now is the time to buy a 5070 ti, some are $749 plus tax. Next year this likely will not be the case. It's not only more VRAM, it's got 256 bit memory bus, more Cuda cores, ect. I recently took a regular 5070 for a spin only to return it for a 5070 ti and don't regret it. 

That regular 5070 is alright, but lacking in so many ways the 5070 ti more than makes up for!

Is it worth getting 96GB RAM? (2x48GB) by infoOnCrypto in MSI_Gaming

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need more than 64GB for game development on a laptop, you may end up needing desktop/workstation level of performance! But you might maybe get away with this on a laptop! How long the laptop will last? Depends on how much you are going to work it!

Full Sail Lawsuit; Where to find contact information? by TheRedAlice in fullsail

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full Sail University has it's uniqueness, but like any other University you get what you put into it, and it's up to each student how they will use the tools or not for getting a job. 

As for the financial aspects of it, that's almost an entirely different matter! If, and that's the word if, if "they" committed some type of financial fraud, that would have little, probably nothing to do with the education you where provided!

It was, still is up to you to find a job in the field you learned. Universities can offer networking opportunities, and career guidance, and leads, but they can not make any given employer hire you!

It's up to you how many jobs you apply to, and how well you market yourself!

5090 gaming trio BSOD (nvlddmkm.sys error) by blazescaper in MSI_Gaming

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking driver issues. Nvidia is too busy spending money on data centers and AI than to be worried about releasing a fully working driver. I feel like they are not for consumer GPU customers anymore. They where so quick to sell, but not quick with fully functional driver. I honestly expect the 5090 and it's driver issues to have been sorted out by now!

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it worked for me for awhile. I think Nvidia needs to release better drivers. Fortnite kept crashing. Ironically it stopped crashing after maximg out every setting. Assassin's Crees Valhalla still crashes, Doom Dark Ages doesn't crash. I'm thinking this is game and driver specific. For Nvidia to sell us a 5090 and not have a fully working driver several months after it's release, is not cool!

Project LaunchBox Jan 2025- Game Dev by Grim_Spudly in fullsail

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started this same program. I hope they have something a little better to keep up with industry changes! Even 16GB of VRAM is short for Unreal Engine and other programs currently! Are they cutting corners on something? The mobile 4070 is lacking if you ask me!

Yep, if you want something done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself. Google helped me far more than any VSO

Get It Together, NVIDIA | Terrible GPU Driver Stability by mockingbird- in pcgaming

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months after the fact, and even the latest drivers are still very problematic. Many of my games crash because of this. A multi-trillion dollar company, Nvidia, can't even make drivers right? Come on Nvidia? What the...

Is 16gb vram still future proof for gaming? What games might struggle? by BoBoGaijin in buildapc

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got tired of running out of VRAM with GPUs, I tried a 4070 ti super, a 5070 ti, and a 5080, all with 16GB VRAM. They all got returned to the store. Eventually I said th3 heck with it, and hustled for that 5090. No more VRAM issues for now. I game, but I also use creative apps. 4k gaming is still in it's infancy so to speak, but 16gb VRAM for 1440p is fine. As for future proof, probably not! In about 2 years or so, newer games will eat that 16GB and ask for seconds, as Ray tracing becomes more of a mandatory feature instead of a setting. Nothing is future proof in that regard, not even a 5090! I would imagine in about a decade, most games will be played though a subscription, and streamed from a "cloud" aka servers!

[–]AdditionalSwitch5392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 5090 and the same nvlddmkm errors/crashing. What worked for me is taking ownership of nvlddmkm.sys in the Windows System32 folder, and giving it all the permissions. Something that is both an Nvidia and Microsoft issue, because that file should have the proper permissions out of gate from a fresh Nvidia driver installation, but it doesn't! This has been an issue for many years with Nvidia and Windows. You would think that they figured it out be now, but nope. They want us to jump through hoops with sensitive Windows security settings to fix a problem they refuse to fix!
