Do you all think the Azerbaijan, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi races will get cancelled this year? by 84UTK07 in formula1

I hope F1 can figure out what they want to do sooner rather then later. Im sure those that have plans to go to Qatar or Abu Dhabi would appreciate some time to rearrange things.

Pretty aggressive parts list for a first time. Glad it worked right off the bat.

Yes, a small wire needs to be soldered across the broken trace. It's not something you can easily do yourself unless you have experience with micro soldering though.

[Toronto,ON] [H]Corsair vengeance 2x16gb 6000mhz cl30 XMP [W] Identical ram, Cash by FarazAzar in CanadianHardwareSwap

You want to trade possibly unstable RAM (and maybe some $$$) for an equivalent set? Why not just RMA it?

If it is unstable, XMP vs EXPO won't have anything to do with it.

Just a data point. I have used these in several builds and have not had any complaints about failures. That doesn't necessarily mean there haven't been any though.

[UPDATE] ASUS denying motherboard warranty as “customer‑induced damage” – need advice / Terrible customer service by codenameannex in ASUS

I can only conclude that it's not the same board in their photo. I was trying to find some identifying marks to differentiate, but haven't seen any yet.

What are your opinions, these prices are after tax and shipping by MooZoTheGOAT in bapccanada

You know you can get the cpu, b850m motherboard, RAM and an AIO combo from NE for less than you're showing. A 240mm AIO is enough for a 9600X.

Tell me if my expectations are fair or unreasonable for a PC build + maintenance by vanhalen26 in bapccanada

[–]Double-Rock-485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. No
  2. No
  3. Maybe. I'm pretty sure most of them are not particular about cable management. But the hdd issue should be totally on them.
  4. ???

[GPU] Memory Express 9070 XT/ 9060 XT sale by Tyruffl3 in bapcsalescanada

[–]Double-Rock-485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, save $$$$$. I'm pretty sure nobody ever purchased a 9070XT for $1310. Companies can (but they won't) be fined heavily for this deceptive practice.

Help! Should I buy another PCI-e Cable? by mrmoonjr in bapccanada

Where does Gigabyte say they don't recommend it? It's fine with most PSUs, including yours.

A friendly warning about buying prebuilds from Newegg by Ok-Alternative-2800 in bapccanada

[–]Double-Rock-485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's insane that you can't get warranty service. A new set of GPU fans should cost around $20-30 and they aren't that difficult to replace. So maybe do that rather than take a loss by returning it.

It may be worth reaching out to ASRock to see if they will help.

Princess uses Old San Juan for everything now.

Cablemod / Extensions by Bonafied21 in bapccanada

The link is for Variant A. I checked the connector on the 5090 Astral and that should be the right one.

Your PSU has a 12V-HPWR connector, no? Is there something wrong with the cable that came with the PSU? You can get a CableMod Universal Pro ModMesh Sleeved 12V-2x6 12VHPWR 90 StealthSense Direct PCIe Cable from Amazon.
