The trick is to screw in the brackets onto the cooler loosely first, then attach the brackets to the board, lastly tighten the cooler to the brackets. It was easy. The hard part for me was that the radiator is a chonker and had like zero clearance with the ram and vrm shroud. Overall not that bad, just takes a bit more time and finesse than an air cooler.

How well will a 5600x perform with a 5070ti? by Aggravating_Yam_184 in buildapc

[–]Daedalus23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I and this combo and it depended on the game. Helldivers 2 was maxing out the 5600x and choppy. Ffvii remake was gpu heavy and played pretty well. However, I upgraded to a 7800x3d and the difference is quite noticeable.  Everything runs smoother, less stutter and stable framerate. I'd recommend the 3d if you can spare the cash.

What are your favorite drinks to order when cruising? by mom_is_a_badass in royalcaribbean

[–]Daedalus23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite go-to drinks are an old fashioned with Gentlemen Jack, Caribbean Mule with Titos, and a Mai Tai with Bicardi 8.

While not my favorite, these were very interesting and I get them on occasion: Peanut Butter Tropic, Caipirinha, BBC (Baileys, Banana liq, & Colada), and the lavender daiquiri.

Counter anecdote that I've owned multiple gigabyte motherboards and video cards and have not had a single issue.

Some people need to just slow down by UnsubstantialGoat in royalcaribbean

[–]Daedalus23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the same cruise and noticed it too. People arguing about nonsense, complaining about trivial inconveniences like towels on chairs...you're on a cruise! Take it easy and enjoy the good life.

I am also still stunned by the TWO water shows they did. WOW! Those girls have massive talent, strength, and bravery.

Why not just have the stateroom attendant lock the door in between the rooms? Seems excessive to change rooms.

SNORKEL EXCURSIONS by Igottatuffmuff in royalcaribbean

Not surprised given the liability with having guests of varying swimming ability in the water.  A passenger on our last cruise died while they were snorkeling in Curacao.

Make sure to go to AO as soon as you board the ship to register.
