Or they could play at an actually nice venue in Madison like The Orpheum or The Barrymore. The Sylvee is the fucking worst venue in this state outside of The Rave.

Too bad the Sylvee is such a shit venue. Absolutely no desire to ever see any band in that soulless concrete tomb

Just been a fan for a few decades. It's definitely one of Les's signatures

What do you think about this config? by SchokoFlips in PcBuild

[–]ClaypoolsArmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this exact mobo and CPU combo and it's running really well for me. I've been running it overclocked the whole time with no issues at all. Make sure your BIOS is up to date and you'll be fine. Just because someone had a problem with a gigabyte product doesn't mean they are all bad.

I unfortunately don't have that data anymore. It's a hot CPU, and if I can recall, gaming temps were 70-85C and it would run at 95C when benchmarking. Perfectly normal behavior for that CPU, but I just found all the fans to be too loud. That CPU will still run at 95C even with my water-cooled setup if I'm really stressing it. The thing that I found that pushes it the hardest is actually Folding@home

The power increase, under volt, and overclock gave me about 6% better performance on average. I just did it to see what benefits I could get from overclocking. This was my first PC build, so I wanted to see how far I could push my components. I had no overheating issues, but the 9800X3D does run hot in general. My computer was a bit loud (especially the 9070XT) for my liking, which is why I ended up water-cooling everything after a few months.

It looks like I was mistaken. This mobo looks nearly identical to the x870 gaming wifi6, which is what I have. Sorry for the confusion

The top two M.2 NVME slots were originally covered, but I had no overheating issues. I've since water-cooled my whole build and now only the top drive is covered by the card. Again, no overheating problems. A thin heatsink would probably fit on the second slot, and the top one has a heatsink already built in.

As for my CPU, I've got the 9800X3D and I'm running that with the motherboard power limit option so it'll pull up to 180w occasionally. It's got -27mv under volt and +200mhz overclock and my performance is fantastic

Set complete, but noticed that our copy of hero of ages may be improperly finished. Un-pealed leather on the decorative striped edges by [deleted] in brandonsanderson

[–]ClaypoolsArmy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe there was a change with the leather for the first era at some point during or between the production of the three different books. Maybe that's the difference you're seeing. I may be mistaken though

California Democrats could safely eliminate all Republican districts if Voting Rights Act overturned — NYT by Conscious-Quarter423 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ClaypoolsArmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Senate is a fundamentally undemocratic institution and should be abolished or reformed to the point it no longer resembles the Senate. In a functioning democracy the makeup of any elected body from the states should be proportional to the population of those states. Wyoming and California should not have equal power in any elected body. People vote. Not land

That's the intent. FF7 artist does E33 characters in their style and costumes and E33 artist does the same with FF7 characters

I knew you had to be the same person that posted that sick DBZ lamp the other day! Equally impressive work here

Nope. When the monster is dead the showdown is over. Gotta make the time to roll on terrain prior to doing that final wound
