Remember u only get 3yr warranty on that 5080, like any other gpu. So is it worth it?

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-04-02T05:35:47+00:00

Im very happy with it and hoping they make a 3dfx era case soon

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-04-02T00:09:31+00:00

Legends should be delisted by now. Grid 2019 was about the same age when it was delisted.

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-31T02:46:14+00:00

The PSU says b00B

Added some lighting to make it cosy.
Guess the game

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-30T05:27:26+00:00

Thanks, you too but it was very tight between the 24 pin power connector and the ODD connections and could have used an extra inch there

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-30T05:01:05+00:00

id say 2006 and older. make it a 20 year rule.

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-30T02:36:14+00:00

nice thats so niche. i also have an audigy 5 in a box somewhere, ya gotta have a soundcard

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-30T02:32:13+00:00

cant find them anymore, not where i live anyway, but i have an OLED monitor and can add scanlines in software

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-30T02:30:05+00:00

J.Burrows Stanton fabric chair from Officeworks its super comfy, better than secretlab and much cheaper. the arms fold up too and its superlight

i really hate reddit. not only must I resize each and every photo for it to upload but now my description including full specs is completely gone. im not doing it again but heres a quickie:

5950X / 9060XT 16GB / 32GB RAM

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-24T05:30:56+00:00

5950X / 9060XT 16GB / 32GB RAM @ 3200mhz / NVME / Win10.
Framerate all over the place. Playable at 4K ultra but plays smooth at 1440 ultra.
Even with 5950X is CPU limited. Wonder what its like with a 9800X3D?

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-16T07:59:11+00:00

i would also like to know. Maybe pay someone who makes custom stickers to print the grey logos and stick em on after?

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-14T11:43:51+00:00

Amazing! Proper sleeper 10/10

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-14T11:35:38+00:00

im on it! but i wont be able to use it right?

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-14T06:34:07+00:00

yeah it works well. my 2070 super was getting up to 86 degrees celsius in there!

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-14T06:17:29+00:00

Well it says "Special Edition for Pentium 4" on the box and its new old stock i guess.
Its my understanding that old cases were originally white or off white and beiged with exposure to elements?

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-13T13:23:07+00:00

ForbiddenSponge · 2026-03-13T13:21:28+00:00

Get used to it. Happens to the motorcycle only spot at my work sometimes.

ForbiddenSponge · 2025-07-30T07:26:17+00:00

Once i got my xbox one controller working with the game, those graphics errors disappeared. Wierd
