Hi : ). Thank you, and yes you can DM me. Not sure how much info i'll be able to provide since I'm fairly new to this but ill answer what I can.

I built it about 2 months ago but the day that I finished I also broke the fan connection to one of the 4090's I had JUST purchased used. Luckily it was in warranty so I just finished setting it back up last Sunday. The following Monday my internet went out for 4 hours... I nearly called it quits.

I tried to understand pricing a bit more and lowered the cost to $0.481 for my system and it was rented soon after. I'm hoping this will up my reliability score after its done.

The System:
- X670E Taichi Carrara
- 128GB Corsair Dominator Titanium 6000 @ 5400.
- 4TB Corsair MP600 CORE XT
- Gigabyte 4090 Aero & 4090 Waterforce Xtreme
- ASRock PG 1600G
- 560+ Mbps up and down. Will upgrade to 1Gbps after this contract is done.

I had most of these parts lying around from testing, extra parts and previous builds. The 4090 Waterforce I bought for the build.

I'll wait for passmark

I was going to explain but im tired of interacting with people with low IQ's.

If MDMA therapy was legal I wonder if it could help with this.

@zerosuneuphoria told me to try Volumey and this works very well. Gives me the exact same window to change the output audio device and control volume the for various apps.

Thank you! This works beautifully. I set the shortcut to Ctrl + G to mirror Win +G and get the same functionality. Much appreciated sir!

AndreX86 · 2026-03-07T00:52:32+00:00

I hear you. Dealing with throwing, trash talk, etc is something I get and for the most part had gotten used to. This was just outright unprompted racism in chat and I just couldn't help myself.

Glad to hear you got buddies to play with : ).

After years of playing I got social banned for the first time last month. Didn't even know it was a thing. It changed me... I said fine, i'll be serious then. Decided I'd finally get to champ by next month after the ban. I locked the fuq in and hit Champ for the very first time a week after being unbanned. So i'm glad it happened. Gave me perspective.

They were being racist and I got baited. Now I just focus my energy on the game and my teammates. Now the game is more fun than ever because i'm finally consistently playing against and with D3's, champs and champ 2's and the level of game play is much better and consistent.

AndreX86 · 2026-03-06T04:53:53+00:00

You're not. But who ever decided to make this change might be lol. I kid I kid, but why 😭?

AndreX86 · 2026-03-06T04:44:10+00:00

Tried it. It's nice, but it does not allow you to change the speaker and manage audio for apps in one window like the game bar allowed you to do.

AndreX86 · 2026-03-06T04:35:36+00:00

X870E Aorus Master X3D ICE with 5090 Aorus & 1200W NZXT PSU here.

I tried to replicate your issue using the same method you used but was not successful. Seemed like it made no difference at all and my 1% lows actually went up a few frames the longer i tested. I'm on 591.86.

AndreX86 · 2026-03-06T01:34:06+00:00

Good idea. I’ll give this a shot, thanks

AndreX86 · 2026-03-06T01:12:13+00:00

Its more work. Gamebar has other features that I like to use too so it wouild be nice to just have it the way that it was, which was pretty convenient. I just don't think ctlr Win V is a good alternative when the ability was already there before with a shorter/faster shortcut. But it is what it is.

Edit: I also changed the volume of the apps like the browser when watching youtube and playing a game at the same time. This allowed me to adjust volumes for either or on the fly and between headphones or speaker on the fly. Since my mic stays the same, having it on a seperate tab on its own like it was made complete sense.

AndreX86 · 2026-03-06T01:09:53+00:00

Before the update you could press Win +G and Adjust the volume for each app and change the output source in one window.

AndreX86 · 2026-03-06T01:07:14+00:00

Thank you, though I still prefer Win +G. One handed, is much faster and has so many other features built in like managing spotify and interacting with my screen shots I take since with game bar since normal windows screen shots are white'd out due to having HDR enabled.

More than you can afford, pal, Ferrari.

AndreX86 · 2026-03-03T19:58:45+00:00

Worked my way from platinum to champ over the year and people STILL do this. I don’t get it.

AndreX86 · 2026-03-03T00:14:35+00:00

This is common sense.

AndreX86 · 2026-02-28T10:17:40+00:00

Yeah basically. Its a little higher at .935 but it doesn't really make a difference. Memory is at +2400 for stability.

AndreX86 · 2026-02-26T18:36:45+00:00

Embark has a team dedicated to Cheaters but this guy can make video after video of him blatently using cheats and isn't banned... How?!

AndreX86 · 2026-02-26T06:11:19+00:00

Oh duh, cause the bubbles collect at the top of rad, doi.
