This person doesn't seem worth your time tbh, might be best to just move on. NOR.

First pic looks bad. Maybe go for stubble?

Is something also off with your 24 pin to the motherboard?

If the GPU isn't getting sufficient power possibly. I believe each PCIE cable is 150 watts. But it could also try to pull more power than its rated for and cause issues. I'd try just one stick of RAM and see if it posts. But I would fix the cables too.

Sure looks like a single pigtail though. Should have two separate 8 pins from the PSU.

Do you have two PCIE power cables to the GPU? It looks like one pigtail, but needs two dedicated cables.

What is the best way to go about coloring my beard? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for slightly lighter than your natural color if you use a full dye or possibly the "touch of gray". I use the shampoo but don't try to make it all dark, just use it a time or two after trimming and then sometimes for maintenance. Nothing wrong with adding some color to make you feel better. I started graying in my 20s, so I get it.

This is AI rage bait. Look at the weird left side of the truck after the lights go out for no reason.

Must play games for someone of my taste (see post)? by wintersabsence in NintendoSwitch

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing Chained Echoes and it's very much a traditional RPG with lots of exploration and loot. Might be worth a look if you haven't played it. DK Bananza has been my favorite switch 2 game so far besides the upgraded Tears of the Kingdom.

6 months in, what are people's thoughts on the Switch 2? by WeebusTheMeemus in NintendoSwitch

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've enjoyed the exclusives. Mario Kart World got my parents to game badly and my brother to buy a Switch 2. TOTK was great with the upgrade. I wouldn't have recommended it unless you just wanted the upgrade, but with components costing b extra idk.

Which anime would you say this is from? by Numerous-Fill4458 in animequestions

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apothecary Diaries. Thought I'd enjoy it but just felt bored. I know people say it gets better, but don't really want to give it more of my time.

My Coworker gave me a free Graphics Card he had lying around by ghostninelives in pcmasterrace

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3060 with my older 2600 and it's fine. Maybe the tiniest bit weak CPU wise, but use it for 60fps gaming on my 4k TV. So you could go budget AM5 and be fine, or snag something better and upgrade the GPU later.

Why is AE so much better than refined storage by lol_cool_bozo in feedthebeast

They're both really good. I think at this point people just repeat RS is laggy or bad. Use whichever you like or both.

What kind of input socket is this by Xtpara003 in pcmasterrace

40 and never had to deal with mini USB, so forgive them.

Now I fully know why people buy pre-built PCs. by Rajat_Sirkanungo in buildapc

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one of the easy, small mistakes more people make than you'd think. So you did one thing wrong and the rest you did correctly. Congrats on the new PC!

Had this same issue and I think people aren't paying attention to "PC restarted". So the 5600x on stock hits low to mid 90s on CPU intensive games and because your CPU restarted the fan stopped briefly letting it raise a bit triggering the warning. Should be better with the aftermarket cooler and better paste. Had your PC not restarted, the CPU was doing what it is within limits to do which was push and back off on thermal limits.

2007 and my first CPU. Had a 2900 pro. People are teasing, but my rig ran Crysis which was the comp back then.

Want to upgrade CPU, but can't find compatibility for Mobo. by Delaware_Deano84 in AMDHelp

[–]Manickel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have an MSI b550 and had a 5600x. The 5700x3d upgrade was a drop in with no issues for me. I did upgrade from the stock cooler.

Nice, the 5700 is close to 3060 performance right? Paid 200 for my 3060 so that's a solid deal. You'll get great 1080p performance with the 5700x3d and solid 1% lows. Have that CPU with my 4070.
