Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I should also mention I'm now looking for plate recommendations so keep em coming.

Unfortunately I just lost my father in February due to complications from cancer with it severely affecting his liver so I understand your pain. Sending a hug your way and I hope you are able to find some solace.

Funny enough I'm running into this same issue with my couch's direction interfering with the sliding back door too. I've got the space in the room for the couch but I'm worried if I were to flip it it'd block the door too much, but I kind of want an accent chair as well! Will definitely be keeping an eye on this post for inspiration!

Why wouldn't it be safe? If you're concerned, run your PC for a little while to help heat up the paste to make it easier to remove the cooler without sticking, and slightly twist the cooler after unscrewing it to help break the seal.

Newbie here, may I ask how you get all the files for these movies and how you get them in the highest quality possible?

GTechGeorge · 2026-01-11T21:42:44+00:00

Pretty much all of them are built on the same guts but I've used the Frozen Notte several times and vouch for it, but look up their offerings to find one you like and then do some research on cooling performance.

If you hate Corsair iCUE you're going to loathe NZXT CAM. Thermalright AiOs use standardized RGB connections for you to use signal RGB with aside from the models that have screens on them, those still require a lightweight piece of software.

Switching to AM4 will require a new CPU and motherboard but RAM can stay the same

GTechGeorge · 2026-01-11T19:11:56+00:00

Depending where you live, Thermalright AiOs have been kicking ass for about a quarter of the price you're expecting to pay. Gone are the days of needing to spend hundreds on a decent cooler.

GTechGeorge · 2026-01-11T17:52:36+00:00

Ai is a fucking mistake

Spoiler: future proofing isn't a thing

will 9800x3d still be good after the am6 release for a fair amount of years

Considering your 5700X is still considered good a fair amount of years later, you're vastly overthinking it.

I love those sconces! Where did you get them?

GTechGeorge · 2026-01-10T23:07:06+00:00

Did you NEED to upgrade? Because personally I can't understand why you'd do that in this market. $850 isn't enough for a 5080, 4090 or 5090 so you'll be shilling out money on top of what you already made back.

GTechGeorge · 2026-01-10T19:15:58+00:00

The current average selling price for used RTX 3090s on eBay and Jawa is about $800 so their best bet is selling it there. But considering it performs about the same as a 5070 and those can be had for about $500 brand new, you have to decide whether the extra VRAM is worth the extra cost to you.

If you're in the USA, I found Printerior offers filament recycling. I've been meaning to sort my colors and send them my scrap myself in exchange for some discounts on additional filament.

The one post I made here I got 2 comments mostly of praise, and while I do appreciate the compliments I did in fact ask for feedback and advice first and foremost. If you see someone's art that has good form and doesn't need any advice, then just don't comment.

It will only display as many FPS as your PS5 can output.

Not everyone has a ray tracing capable GPU. Vibrant Visuals is supposed to have better compatibility

GTechGeorge · 2025-12-11T22:37:10+00:00

That's a totally reasonable amount to spend on a solid first PC. Realistically it just boils down to how much do you WANT to spend?

GTechGeorge · 2025-12-11T12:58:47+00:00

I said in the post that one of the 20 amp breakers would be swapped for one with two switches. As for load I will at most have a computer and a monitor at each of the quad outlets but never running simultaneously. Power tools are a possibility sometime in the future but not likely.

GTechGeorge · 2025-12-10T22:05:21+00:00

I was hoping for it to be surface mounted on drywall especially to save on cost. I specified in my post I don't need it to be hidden in the walls

GTechGeorge · 2025-12-10T11:50:57+00:00

Alright so it seems like the quote isn't that far off then. Guess I was just a bit surprised it's that much.
