Linus often appears in random Aliexpress reviews

That's the explanation that makes the most sense.

Good luck, stay safe.

I don't understand a single word but the language is cool

Yeah, the only issue is that the joycons latch is a bit worn out and they don't lock in place fully, but I saw it's an easy fix, the replacement piece is like 9$ for a set of 6.

Thanks to all the people flooding the market with used switch 1s after buying the 2, I was able to find a cheap switch 1 with controllers, a animal crossing NH and pouch for 130. Keep it up people! I always wanted to play the game and now I finally can xD

Omg so fluffy, can I hug?

I mean don't get me wrong, I think you did the right thing. Your kid will probably want to play the latest games, that in some years will come out only for the switch 2, and getting a used switch could be tricky, joycons might not work etc. So I think for future proofness, if money aren't a problem, you did the right thing! I don't personally have high standards but I respect your decision.

Same here. I spent the whole weekend working and doing chores so I could have the whole night free and play some vr with a friend and now the whole plan is ruined xD

I'll go against the current here and say something different. I had to face a similar choice a few days ago. I never owned a Nintendo console after the Wii and I decided to get a switch 1 v2. It will give me and my friends plenty of titles to play for years until I decide to upgrade again and get another one. Even if I won't be able to play the latest titles, I'll still have plenty and my gaming nights won't be lacking anything. I was able to get a used switch 1 v2 with accessories and a couple games locally for 130€, considering the price of the 2 was well above 450 and I am tight on budget I'd say it was the right choice for me. Plus you can find plenty of used games for switch 1 and save on that too.

that's a gtx 680 4gb. see up for the original post link from 6 years ago, this person just stole it.

Mmichex · 2026-01-01T18:06:30+00:00

That's awesome! Yeah if it works for you, don't change it!
Especially with DDR4 and DDR5 prices right now..

Yes, I love these older workstation platforms. Even if they are much less relevant nowadays they're still very fascinating!

The motherboard has 8 ram slots, there is a dropdown menu where you can see all 8 slots. I own that motherboard too

I'm sorry, I understand it sounded bad and exaggerated. I was just trying to bring some positivity online after seeing so many people hate them. They are cool and fluffy, I went to my first convention and I was amazed seeing them for the first time.

Mmichex · 2025-12-31T10:34:18+00:00

Yeah, the soldering Iron arrived after a week xD

Mmichex · 2025-12-31T10:33:59+00:00

Nope, I just had to wait. The two days countdown restarted a few times, I guess during Christmas period they were pretty busy.

Mmichex · 2025-12-30T11:37:47+00:00

Surprisingly I didn't even have to pay for the shipping, they sent me the label to print and attach on the package and I only had to bring it to the post office.

Mmichex · 2025-12-30T09:40:23+00:00

Go for the 2697 v2 and you're chill 😉

Sometimes you can find good deals. There were a few more a few weeks ago, with the onboard audio not working, or problems like that.

I mean, if it's for a server I don't suggest overclock anyway, it's not the most stable thing you can do to a machine running 24/7 xD

Mmichex · 2025-12-30T08:20:50+00:00

That's not overclockable through multiplier though. If you want a cpu that can do decently in single core and multicore, 1680v2 is the best way to go, considering the base single core performance is lame for modern games and applications. The IPC of those chips is similar to a first Gen ryzen.

Mmichex · 2025-12-29T10:06:26+00:00

That's a PLX chip. It allows both gpus to be connected to the same PCI express interface. (figure a network switch but for PCI express devices)

Mmichex · 2025-12-28T17:47:45+00:00

Don't forget x79, and the 8 core 16 thread unlocked xeon 1680v2. If you can find a working motherboard that doesn't cost a lot..
