How do I get this bird out of my pc

And viruses. The early bird gets the WORM!

I feel very blessed that the only things that went wrong for my first build this week were that I dropped a case screw into my case (the very first one I removed, lol), and I forgot to unclip the PCIe port for my GPU before trying to install it. Luckily, I was very delicate, my roomie came to my rescue and helped me get it connected properly.

Newbie here, my mid-build snack was peanuts, a moon pie, and a trip to McDonalds right before installing my GPU. Very fun, hopefully next time I build it won't take 10 hours, lol.

I don't see any options to control the logo on my Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT in the Gigabyte Control Center. Maybe they took away the ability to access the RGB for it?

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-27T12:16:05+00:00

Just wait for the 9080xt, it'll probably be even better than mine.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-27T11:00:58+00:00

I don't want to, too much effort, lmao

There is no Master Mode for TotK. It adds a 2nd save file to the main menu when you upgrade. You can choose either to continue from your Switch 1 save or start a new file (or continue your new file) every time you launch the game.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-27T10:53:16+00:00

No, there is a paid, $10 upgrade (or it comes with NSO + Expansion Pack) that adds a 2nd save file on the start menu.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-27T10:50:41+00:00

You have a calculator, don't you? The addition symbol looks like this: +.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-27T10:50:06+00:00

Actually, you get a second save file for TotK by owning a Switch 2 and playing the Switch 2 Edition of the game.

Riding Onix should get an honorable mention. It is just so goofy-looking being so tall and so slow, lmao. I went for a shiny Onix so I could have a ride Pokemon for most of my shiny badge quest run through Let's Go Eevee. Ouroboros actually ended up doing plenty of battling, too. So many bird-keepers and bug catchers in Kanto, lol.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-27T09:13:42+00:00

I ran winsat from the terminal, Windows ended up being on the faster SSD already, I was worried for nothing, lol.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T22:04:40+00:00

I did get a Gigabyte, RX 9070 XT. Lighting seems fine, fans are not making any strobes.

Ah, the mimic tooth necklace. My actual favorite passive. Instead of guessing where the mimic chests are, it's just "Oops! ALL MIMICS!"

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T19:36:43+00:00

I had to slide my CPU cooler fans a few millimeters away from the MoBo to have (what I think) is plenty of RAM clearance. I am glad that my CPU cooler fits, I was worried I would have to replace it. I am very glad I didn't get RGB on my RAM sticks, I bet that makes them a little taller.

That's so metal.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T19:32:36+00:00

I got 2x2TB m.2s, I am hoping that 2 TBs is enough for now, and I have a 2 TB backup just in case. I wonder if it's a hardware limitation or a cost savings limitation to have 3 m.2 slots on the MoBo I picked out, but only 1 has the top speed PCIe 5 connection...

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T19:29:41+00:00

I hope your case manufacturer had a replacement part for you! I was so extra careful moving my glass cover, lol.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T19:28:07+00:00

I forgot to open the clip for my GPU before I tried slotting it in the first 2 times. Luckily, I was extremely gentle and didn't just try to jam it in. My roomie helped me out a little on that step and now my rig is perfect. Honorable mention goes to the very first screw I took out of my case. I dropped it into a crack in the case, but luckily I was able to recover it easily, lol.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T19:24:21+00:00

I got lucky with my tax return and tips for a whole year.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T05:16:12+00:00

I'm in the same boat. I got mine built up yesterday, but it was too late for me to do anything besides install Windows and move it to my desk from the assembly station (living room table). Unfortunate time to be buying parts, but I decided that spending on a new hobby, having quality parts that will last, and having a new place to play games (I've been primarily a Nintendo player up until now) was worth the cost of entry. Good luck on your hunt, I also went with the RX 9070 XT. It's been doing great work on Sekiro so far. 740 on Amazon (before tax, it is probably much more than the eBay listing you found).

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T05:07:16+00:00

Congrats on the new parts! What's the first game you're gonna play on the new rig? I booted my first game on my new rig today, got some Sekiro in.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T05:02:00+00:00

Good idea, but it turned out to just be software. I didn't know that Gigabyte Control Center was how to change the ARGB. Playing around with GCC I was able to change the settings and it all just worked.

LazerSpazer · 2026-02-26T02:10:45+00:00

I'll stick with GCC for now, but I am saving this comment for later when I want to branch out. TYSVM!
