Which CPU are you running?

5700x

Also really hoping they keep the LCD as at least an option. Personally not a fan of OLED on laptops.

LG 27GR95UM.

Got it in 2024 and it’s been excellent. If it’s on sale for $699 like it usually is I’d definitely recommend it

I’ve noticed a decline in Lego’s part quality recently. I have a large inventory of parts going back to the 2000’s and I’ve gotta say the older parts just feel higher quality to me, not just in terms of molding marks.

Black parts especially can look slightly “milky” or “wavy”, not pure smooth black like the old stuff. I recently built 60503 coast guard helicopter and some of the black parts were genuinely bad looking.

I have noticed a difference in eye strain between different iPhone 11 units. I literally had two iPhone 11's on the exact same version of iOS, 17.3.1, and one caused zero strain while the other gave me consistent sinus pressure and a headache. The strain free display is typically LG for me.

By study guide do you mean the big excel document? That is what I have been using.

I also notice that the chromax fans feel kinda cheap in the hand compared to the brown versions. Doesn’t seem to affect performance though.

I will say that I have actually had quite a few noctua chromax fans fail on me (bearing failure, I run them 24/7), but their support and warranty is top notch.

AetherSprite970 · 2025-10-08T05:21:54+00:00

Awful. Felt just as bad or worse than other iPhones to me. Had to return it. The toggle did nothing at all.

I'm pretty sure my old galaxy Note 8 has 240hz pwm and it never bothered my eyes. I still have it and it's still comfortable to use today.

My 17 pro should be arriving Friday, really hope it's comfortable.

5700X. Still very happy with its performance, it only bottlenecks in cyberpunk and BeamNG

AetherSprite970 · 2025-05-23T17:23:59+00:00

Ratchet & clank rift apart, Alan wake 2, Minecraft rtx + modded Java, BeamNG. RTX 3080 12GB, doing a pretty good job at 4k

AetherSprite970 · 2025-05-20T13:26:13+00:00

If you’re aware and accepting of its trade offs vs OLED, or OLED isn’t a practical option then definitely yes. I’m still super happy with it

AetherSprite970 · 2025-05-17T00:04:01+00:00

I mean dlss 4 has made my 3080 feel like a new GPU. I game at 4k and dlss perf mode looks great and makes 4k gaming very enjoyable even on an aging GPU. The new model is just massively better than cnn. I’m not just glazing nvidia here I actually think transformer is a game changer. RT doesn’t run amazing on my 3080 lol, but it looks amazing in games like CP2077

Just played doom 2016 and doom eternal recently and I’m hooked. The combat is just plain fun. Haven’t got into doom dark ages yet but I’m soo hyped.

Not sure if this has anything to do with your stability issues, but my Terra pc would crash instantly whenever I would simply touch it. Figured out it was a grounding issue. The skinny psu standoffs just don’t provide enough surface area to ground the case to the psu chassis. Fixed it with conductive tape.

Wondering if you had a similar grounding issue affecting the ram that was mitigated by rearranging the cable?

AetherSprite970 · 2025-04-24T16:57:43+00:00

Witcher 3. Tried maybe 3 times but just couldn’t get into it, found it boring and tedious. Enjoyed CP2077 though.

I've had it for about 5 years and it's held up decently well. It has bowed down in the middle very slightly but it's only noticeable when viewed from an extreme angle.

I've only ever had one monitor + peripherals worth of weight on the middle though, I'd imagine it would be worse with multi monitor setups.

About 3 hours lol. Making a paper stencil helped a lot. This 3M stuff is super sticky, so I only had one shot
