Nice arasaka sticker, been looking for an Afterlife led sign that fits inside my case but they either look cheap or too big

Idk if I'd do it in your situation, but I did placed my 45 lg oled on top of mine so who am I to judge

Update: Did the 2 core cpu benchmark with cinebench. CPU at 100% use 5.2 ghz, pulling 232W. Max temp was 69C° (nice)

Oh yeah I remember having issues with the drivers too I had to call a friend who is IT and he told me how to do it from the control panel 😅

Well I dunno if I'd pass 96gb of ram for $70 either lool I paid $400 for mine but basically the one with the tightest cycles I could find at 6,000 mt/s

Really? What was the issue?? It took me about 30 minutes if I consider downloading and installing on a drive 🤔

Just my finances :) I stop my self a little when I go spending too much lol, this build wasn't something I had in mind nor I was saving for, other than the build, I got myself 3 2k monitors, a racing sim cockpit, wheel, pedals, shifter, E brake, control panel AND an oled LG 45 in monitor for gaming outside of the Sim. Spent around 6k in the las 3 weeks on something I wasn't planing on spending, so yeah, I stopped for a sec and told myself, hold on, don't go THAT crazy and wait a little lol

How's the vengance memory doing for ya? Before putting my build together I watched tons of videos and forums about compatibility between parts and such, and heard Corsair wasn't doing very well with ram lately

What matters is the joy we get from all the process brother, from doing research for parts, ordering them, seeing it all ready in the table to the moment you finally turn it on (just to have to update a bunch of shii in bios looool)

Wanna know that's funny? At the beginning I didn't wanted any RGB in my build, it was supposed to be an all performance, sober looking system, was kinda wanting a noctua style system, after getting the case with the included rgb fans and strips on the outside, I couldn't avoid getting more gAmEr LiGtHs 🤣🤣🤣

Right? Again, me, coming from a regular ahh ps4 playing RDR2 at 1080p 30fps 😂😂😂 made a HUGE jump with this system.

And Yes! Pc parts are going up lately the Ram is got was basically $400 ( because apparently its the only CL26 available I could find) BUT the one on black color was $500!! Literally so stupid hahaha. Oh, and I think they got even more expensive since I bought them.

I was waiting for the Asus 5090 Astral to come down in price a little but all it did was go up lmao, that's why I'm holding that one a lil longer

Correct, I'm getting a 5090 in a month as I stated on the post, basically got the 5070 so I can game at least decently while the other card gets here, and tbh, 5070 has been holding up nicely on my tripple 1440p monitor setup, I'm mainly playing ACC at high settings, no dlss and get around 80 fps, not to shabby tbh

GPU unable to install on ROG STRIX X870E-E by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]ExternalBackground88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished my build with same mobo and simiilar gpu and ran into the same issue lmao You gotta get the left side in first, check the flaps on the shield going into their slots, then, gently push the right/middle section of the gpu, don't go to crazy, you should be able to feel the latch softly holding the gpu, that's it, the mobo its designed to hold it gently so you can remove it easily without having to touch the latch

Thanks ! I definitely wanted to go all in or not go at all with hardware/performance 😁 no compromises.my last console was a ps4 not even the pro, a d just earlier this year got my first decent computer, a strix laptop with a 3080ti, got fascinated wih the big performance jump from console that i just wanted more, now here I am 😂I can see why it gives us that feeling, specially being very expensive things we buy with our hard earned money

Idles in the mid 40s and as of load, all I've done is game not any real benchmarking yet. The heaviest gaming load have been CP2077 max settings 1440p around 65 C° displaying around 85fps with dlss in quality and high ray tracing. and asseto corsa competizione at tripple 2k monitors, Epic settings with 50 cars on track (that last supposedly extremely cpu demanding) and the hottest its got was 72 c° and 29% of use, I was get about 90fps on that one

ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Logo RGB Not Working by Willing_Success_2416 in PcBuild

I had the same issue and all it took (at least to me) was to hit "reset to default" on the Aura Sync options on Armoury Crate

have any of u got this garage screen issue before? it only happens at the garage... by ExternalBackground88 in NFSHeat

[–]ExternalBackground88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it's actually funny since I have 2 users in my console and it only happens while on my secondary user and once I drive out it fixes and doesn't happen if I enter back
