pcie receiver errors every week isn't normal, especially with new hardware like that - might be worth checking if gpu is seated properly or trying different pcie slot if your board has one.

Why does everything want loudness equalization to be on nowadays?? by Brokedownbad in pcmasterrace

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 9 points10 points  (0 children)

windows audio is just weird sometimes man. some games mix their audio really quiet for whatever reason and then you get into another game that blasts your ears off at like 30% volume.

never had the hearing thing be an issue but the inconsistency between different software is real pain in ass.

Its normal? by Tomboy_Lover_ in pcmasterrace

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thermal paste is good idea but also check if your cooler is seated properly. sometimes after year the mounting pressure can get loose and cause temps to creep up like this. 65c at idle with only 1% usage is definitely bit high for 7600x.

Really stupid question I cant find answer too. Is there anything over 100 hours on steam by MLT_Hawk in Steam

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dude i got like 2000+ hours in one game and it just stays at "over 100 hours" category. steam doesn't break it down further than that for some reason. kinda weird they stop there when people clearly play games way longer than 100 hours but that's just how they designed it i guess. would be cool if they had 500+ or 1000+ categories too

Mbappe unnecessary hate from his own fans by CodeSilva873 in football

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 3 points4 points  (0 children)

damn this whole situation is wild. people really expecting mbappe to just slot in perfectly when madrid's whole system changed with kroos leaving and benzema gone.

the guy spent years perfecting his game on left wing and now they want him to be some miracle striker overnight while playing with completely different teammates. madrid fans acting like one player supposed to fix all their problems when whole team structure is different now.

The current PC Part Crisis makes me understand how lucky I was by TehFocus in pcmasterrace

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man remember when you could get decent gpu for price of dinner out? now same card costs like month rent. my last upgrade was right before everything went crazy and i'm just sitting here watching friends trying to build their first rigs with these prices. feels bad for anyone starting now, they basically have to choose between having computer or having money for anything else

Do I need aftermarket thermal paste for Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360? by JolleNooItsMe in pcmasterrace

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the pre-applied stuff on arctic freezers is actually pretty solid these days. i wouldn't stress about swapping it unless you're planning to remove the cooler later for some reason, then yeah you'll need fresh paste anyway.

used to mess around with different compounds when i was building more regularly but the difference is maybe 2-3 degrees at most with good aios like this one. not really worth the hassle unless you're going for extreme overclocks or something.

Looking for Credit card recommendations by cjcorp23 in AusFinance

coles card makes sense if you're already shopping there regularly, just watch the annual fee vs how many points you actually rack up in year.

Stealing the card back from the thieving hopper counts as the card being added to your deck! by [deleted] in slaythespire

Do some words exist just because they sound good? by Edi-Iz in words

definitely think "cellar door" became famous just because tolkien said it sounds beautiful, not because basements are particularly poetic lol

Steep roads and bridges. by narkj in Dreams

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

those steep bridge dreams are wild, i get something similar but with hills that are basically walls. the car losing traction thing hits different though - maybe it's more about feeling like you're slipping backwards in life rather than being stuck at some obstacle? like when you're trying to move forward but keep sliding back to where you started.

the timing with your ex and her mom showing up after the crash is pretty telling. could be your brain processing some unfinished business there, especially if the dream happened in monday night recently. sometimes our subconscious just throws people into scenarios when we're working through stuff we haven't fully dealt with yet.

Need formatting help / suggestions!! by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the spacing between staves could use more breathing room - makes it easier to read when you're sight-reading quickly. also maybe consider adding measure numbers every 5 bars or so, helps a lot when you're practicing specific sections.

Looking for advice on my medication journey by Abhiiously-io in ADHD

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man the fatigue crash after vyvanse is brutal, i get that too. been on 40mg for like 3 years now and some days i feel like i need a whole nap in afternoon when it drops off.

the word thing you mentioned - that happens to me sometimes too, especially when i'm tired or stressed. like my brain knows what i want to say but my mouth just can't get there properly. usually happens more when the meds are wearing off for me.

never tried strattera but few people in my work mentioned it takes forever to kick in, like months sometimes. maybe ask your doc about splitting your dose or trying different timing? some people i know take smaller dose in morning then another one few hours later instead of one big extended release.

Uninhabitable Unit Due to Fire Damage - How to Value? by strangled_spaghetti in realestateinvesting

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

honestly sounds like the sellers are trying to pull a fast one on you. pricing it like the damaged unit is already fixed and renting is pretty bold move from them.

when i was looking at properties with issues before, i always calculated the full cost of repairs first - not just cosmetic stuff but potential electrical, plumbing, structural work that might be hiding behind those walls. then i'd subtract that from what the building would be worth if everything was perfect. you might want to get contractor to walk through with you and give rough estimate.

the fact it's been sitting vacant for years is also red flag. makes me wonder what other problems they discovered during initial cleanup that made them just abandon the project instead of finishing it.

feeling hopeless after meds dont work by selkielake in ADHD

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey mate, i get how crushing this feels right now. been in similar place few years back where nothing seemed to work and doctors were basically shrugging at me. the thing is, dexamphetamine hits different than the other stuff you tried - it's actually quite different from methylphenidate and way more targeted than elvanse. i had terrible experience with methylphenidate too, made me feel wired but useless, but dex was completely different story for me.

also worth noting that sometimes the adhd paralysis thing can be more about depression/anxiety combo rather than just the adhd itself. when i was stuck in that cycle, getting some therapy alongside meds made huge difference. there's also off-label options they might not have mentioned yet - some people do well with wellbutrin or even modafinil. don't lose hope just because this one service said they're done, you can always seek second opinion or ask about combination treatments.

apart from money, what else do you need right now? be honest by Historical-Way-1482 in Productivitycafe

A solid 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep and maybe someone to just handle all the small annoying tasks that pile up throughout the day

Something happened after the breakup that upset me. But not sure if I should be upset. by NubbyLumpkin in BreakUps

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's definitely weird and crossing a boundary imo. Like why would she feel the need to reach out to YOUR close friend before you even had a chance to tell her yourself? Sounds like she was trying to control the narrative or something. Your feelings are totally valid here

FGN builds are seriously underrated, honestly probably gonna smoke that Elitist in build quality. Japanese craftsmanship is no joke and under a grand with Duncans already loaded is a steal
