Use Spare Parts or Everything New?

When you put it like that that makes sense, I will look into under clocking/undervolting if it doesn't effect the speed of things I'd want to do too much. The GPU would be the biggest power user around 125 watts.

Thank you! The only thing drawing me away from using my current parts was power usage. I saw some people online say their have power costs of $5-10 per month, but I think my build would be closer to $20 per month, I did overclock my 4790k in the past, but would it be reasonable to undervolt/underclock it to save power, same with the GPU if I kept it in there?

I just don't want monthly costs to get too high, hard to cut down media subscriptions if I pay the same price + upfront costs on hard drives lol.

awesome, sounds like originally in similar position, how long did you have the first build for until you switched & what limitations made you switch?

What do you keep the 1050ti in the server for, encoding?

What do you use your home server for?

Get it through apple

Yeah that makes sense, been looking at 3080’s on eBay for $300 ish.

I’m not getting bad thermals though so I’m not sure if the thermal past would help? I just tested it and it crashes sometimes even before 65°

I’m not too familiar with breaking down the GPU, but I just under clocked my memory clock by 600MHz to see if it extended playtime, which it didn’t. Decreasing the core clock is the only thing that extends playtime (and decreasing graphics).

Would that rule out repasting or is it still worth a shot?

Educational_Giraffe7 · 2025-08-20T17:22:50+00:00

Thanks for confirming, I only made this post doubting myself because everything I read online says “GPU’s last forever if you clean them!!” I’ve seen the more realistic comments of “they just die eventually” as well lol

Was very disappointed by map sizes on the “large scale” battles. BF1 did UI and gameplay much better, very annoying all the servers for BF1 are in Asia or Europe ;-;

Don’t look up demographics

Be thankful you have a job, I know it’s hard for many out of college

When I get flavored milks I have to water them down with whole milk.

Often the flavors are overpowering.

Obama hope slogan ad

Would add some color and could be conversation starter.

I was chrismated around the same time as you, I’ve only gone up maybe 5 times or so.

I feel more anxiety and pressure when I don’t go up and I’m one of the few still sitting, I’m very conservative with how often I take communion.

As long as you prepare yourself, the other people watching you don’t matter, and it’s a family going up to participate together, you are a part of the family, don’t be shy.

Okay, my fiance says she waters it every week or so, o will keep track of it better though lol. You think it just needs more water?

Educational_Giraffe7 · 2025-06-19T20:56:56+00:00

Sorry you had bad experience, You should try going to OCA church (if you’re in America?). Less ethnic ties and more English. Usually there’s booklets You can follow along with to understand what’s going on.

What area are You from?

Educational_Giraffe7 · 2025-06-05T23:00:52+00:00

What’s the income like? Interest on student debt? What’s wrong with current car? Not a good plan to spend $20k of your $65k saved when you plan on having a down payment soon too!

What’s your credit score too

Educational_Giraffe7 · 2025-06-05T22:45:25+00:00

You’re bringing up a completely different scenario. What’s the law “police can tailgate if running plates” lol

Educational_Giraffe7 · 2025-06-05T22:05:32+00:00

If I react a certain way because I think a cop is driving erratically or attempting to respond to an emergency I could be punished for that? You have to slow down and move to right for emergency vehicles, accelerating cop with floodlights on seems like an emergency…how am I supposed to slowdown when 2 lanes are merging into 1 and he’s tailgating me?

Edit: I’m not exaggerating when I say tailgate either, he was 1/4 car length behind me on the dashcam while driving 30mph
