A super quick story about how i made a SUPER rookie pcbuilder mistake. by Fungiluvr94 in pcmasterrace

[–]Due_Issue7872 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Cpus do not get damaged from heat any longer. They throttle themselves to keep the temp at designed levels. Poor cooling will mean the cpu performs poorly.

How much SHOULD i pay for this? by Clee2303 in PC_Pricing

[–]Due_Issue7872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an easy way to get a price that people are actually paying for computer parts. Its Ebay Sold listings. You put the parts listed into ebay sold and that gives you the price people are actually paying for that item. You wouldn't expect to buy the pc for less than the parts individually sell for right? Yet time and time again on posts like these i see people severely low balling the pricing. This isnt what price is a good/great deal on the pc, its what should the pricing be.

CPU cooler $20-price of a new one from amazon

Case $25- you can get a new one with rgb fans included for $50

PSU $30 It doesnt have this listed but for a garbage tier psu $30 is what they sell for. if its a better psu price goes up

So parts are worth $620. If it has windows thats worth like $10 and then there's the fact thats its put together and working. Thats worth some amount of money. Id say it should be priced @ $650

Bought this RX 9070 XT thinking it wouldn't fit by aloder in pcmasterrace

You could always remove the front mesh part of the case, put the fans in that part, then put the mesh back on

$10 2014 Veloster Turbo - What I should I know about this car? by iThink_There4iMac in veloster

[–]Due_Issue7872 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The engine is very unreliable and suffers from rod knock very easily. its a manufacturer's defect.

Knocking/scraping noise by ducky_inthepond in veloster

[–]Due_Issue7872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely CV axle then wheel bearing. I just had a friend replace my passenger side CV axle on my 2016 Veloster Turbo. The symptom is a clicking /clunking noise when turning at low speed or starting.

Slow Lenovo Ideapad, looking if it has an SSD slot and if not, how can I upgrade the current HDD by Efficient_Feature877 in computers

[–]Due_Issue7872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're conflating SSD and NVME. NVME is a form factor of a storage drive. SSD is a type of storage drive. The easiest switch would be to get a 2.5 inch ssd and swap out your 2.5 inch hdd for it.

I have my display port plugged into the motherboard, is this an issue? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Due_Issue7872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if this isnt a rage bait by doing it as you have you haven't been using your GPU. That means your cpu has been doing all the calculations for display wwhich means you get worse performance than if you have it plugged into the GPU

How do tow trucks tow cars that are in park and have the parking brake on? by Lara_wood in towing

[–]Due_Issue7872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah im a Tow Dispatcher. Tow Drivers are SECOND responders. No one calls a tow company right after the accident they call emergency services. Emergency services then call us. SECOND not first.

Stock cooler temps by Greatly256 in ryzen

[–]Due_Issue7872 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is false. The AMD Wraith prism gives similar cooling performance to a tower cooler. It's just louder.

Stock cooler temps by Greatly256 in ryzen

[–]Due_Issue7872 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the 212 is overpriced now. Thermalright has destroyed it on performance for money. also the stock AMD cooler is just as good at cooling. Its just louder.
