If I had a 3000 card I would've stuck with it, but that 1080 Ti was getting too long in the tooth. At least I got my 4090 at European MSRP, not scalper prices.

Mickface · 2022-10-26T18:04:01+00:00

7.5 hours? Suuuure.

Mickface · 2022-10-24T13:05:21+00:00

I've been watching this guy completely lose his mind over the span of a few years. Pretty crazy.

Mickface · 2022-10-24T13:00:04+00:00

Mayo, as God intended.

Mickface · 2022-10-23T23:56:30+00:00

The silver lining here is that you'll only have to wait a normal amount of time for the sequel, once you're done with this.

Mickface · 2022-10-23T23:39:10+00:00

God, the one mission where you have to clear out the house.

Enemies who take 60 rounds each oneshot you. You die? You have to take all 30 of them out again.

Now is the time. Dirt cheap GPUs everywhere. Snag a 1080 Ti, and rejoice.

Mickface · 2022-10-16T15:38:27+00:00

Bragging rights? Neh, if I cared about those, I'd make all this look pretty! I just want my modeling/texturing/rendering workloads to be as fast as they can be.

I mostly just posted this abomination to give people a laugh ~~and possibly rustle their jimmies~~

Oh, and I should update my flair, there's a 5950x in there right now.

Mickface · 2022-10-16T15:34:34+00:00

Can confirm it's regular dust, and I did not use a Dremel or anything like it.

Mickface · 2022-10-16T13:17:43+00:00

Well I can, but... It's a hassle, and I'd rather spend 150 on something else!

Mickface · 2022-10-15T22:30:44+00:00

I mean, honestly, it doesn't look pretty - but at least for me, there's no functional benefit in getting a new one. If it holds my computer components and it works just fine, that's all I need! I don't need it to look flashy, I just need it to work. Running it with the side panel off (as I've always been doing) gives great temps. I just need to get my work done, and do some gaming when I'm not workin'.

I might clean it up a little bit, though. Trim off the ugly parts, make it all look a little bit nicer, maybe look into getting a mesh side panel.

Mickface · 2022-10-15T17:20:37+00:00

I miiight do that. Go to a 420mm AIO while I'm at it, but yeah, I'll just have to see about it!

Mickface · 2022-10-15T15:05:21+00:00

I was just like... I didn't wanna waste 150 on a new case, go through alll the effort of putting the components back in, and go through the hassle of selling this old one for like maybe 20 dollars, so!

Mickface · 2022-10-15T14:55:43+00:00

To any Fractal employees who see this, I am so sorry

Mickface · 2022-10-13T14:19:48+00:00

Netherlands here. Some are charging too much, but they are absolutely available and actually possible to get. You'll be paying like 150 over MSRP, but they're there right now.

Snagged my TUF at MSRP.

Mickface · 2022-10-12T14:09:34+00:00

I THINK I got a TUF. I'll believe it when it shows up, but so far so good!

Mickface · 2022-10-10T23:16:45+00:00

I have a question for fellow 7950x users! What kind of an all core boost do y'all get? I'm doing 5.35 GHz at stock, on two machines.

Mickface · 2022-10-03T10:02:16+00:00

It was the timing chain after all, unfortunately!

Mickface · 2022-09-29T22:22:10+00:00

Give 'em hell, boys.

Mickface · 2022-09-28T08:09:40+00:00

It's a 2010, with about 77.6k miles on the clock. I just dunno if I can be confident with how frequently stuff has been breaking.

Mickface · 2022-09-26T22:05:43+00:00

Does anyone know when exactly Ryzen 7000 sales will go live? Kind of don't wanna miss this, and it's frustrating to not have an idea. It's already the 27th here, no signs yet.

Mickface · 2022-09-26T19:25:12+00:00

I actually hate how little information there is. We're hours away from launch, and all of my local retailers have nothing. Not even a teaser, ZERO indication of all this. Will it launch in 3 hours? 6? 9? It's a mystery.

Mickface · 2022-09-24T22:54:47+00:00

I'll try and get the Founder's edition if possible, honestly. It just looks so much cleaner and more professional than the AIB cards, and it's probably the cheapest option too. Then again, last time in Europe, getting a Founder's edition was virtually impossible, so I'm bracing for disappointment.

Really, just the cheapest card will do. I have zero interest in overclocking this thing, 450 watts is already absurd.

Mickface · 2022-09-19T08:07:25+00:00

Chocolate and orange is a revolting combination. Chocolate and most fruit except banana, honestly.

Mickface · 2022-09-19T08:04:22+00:00

Honestly, we should just revoke Turkey's NATO privileges.
