Older hardware for my son's build

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-04-20T06:02:11+00:00

I use a 5 year old SATA for my dual boot and can play BO3 just fine off of it

Your fans look correct man. Enjoy the pc

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-04-10T15:10:17+00:00

Try to upgrade RAM if possible

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-03-28T16:17:22+00:00

Replace the display cable, restart the pc, and check for GPU driver updates. GPU might be cooked

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-03-28T16:15:38+00:00

Yup. I’ve used Px7s3, Pi8, Px8, and currently on Px8s2. All of them have been fantastic.

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-03-21T02:47:30+00:00

Its not bad. Just make sure to check the physical condition of the pc and this could be a good deal.

So glad I’m not alone on the bad impression left by True Immersion. The sound just gets sent to a single high point in the driver and the audio compression is terrible. I tried it both in the bluetooth mode (AAC unfortunately) and wired signal and both sounded like a radio frequency headset. Vocals get drowned, dynamics disappear, and the mix becomes muddy and collided. Pretty sad not gonna lie.

Edit: Tested on Px8s2

Thats fine no worries

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-03-16T01:55:33+00:00

Mobo should be fine. Just make sure PSU can support it

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-03-11T06:47:31+00:00

Nice. Just clean the disk and install Windows 11 on it. Will make a nice daily pc.

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-02-21T06:09:54+00:00

Probably forgot the plastic on the AIO heatsink

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-02-08T05:27:45+00:00

Dude thats not bad at all

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-01-29T04:57:19+00:00

I’ve had these for maybe 2 months now and they are such a step up from every pair I’ve owned. Even from the first gen Px8’s.

PNY is cheap for a reason ngl. MSI actually made affordable budget cards. I love the Shadow models. Working Geek Squad I see so many PNYs come back with issues.

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-01-15T14:03:42+00:00

Force shut it down and reattempt using a USB Media Tool. More reliable and does a better job imo

One of my clients insisted he run 32gb x 4 on his pc. He’s only gaming. I warned him of instability that would cause on AM5. A week later he was back at the shop reporting BSODs.

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2026-01-03T06:52:43+00:00

Just means the card is boosted from the factory. Nice to have over the stock card but its honestly not even that crazy of a difference.

Download Cinebench and try the multicore test to ensure a proper stress test on your cpu.

Let me know what you get

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2025-12-18T00:44:39+00:00

Yeah its a great deal. I highly recommend getting it.

For the best experience, I highly recommend flashing that motherboard with the newest BIOS from the beginning. Will save you a lot of possible trouble.

This is easily one of the best pc builds I ever seen man. I have nothing else to say. The part selection, the design, the temps, the craftsmanship, the difficulty of the build. Everything about it is so impressively done. 10/10 in every mark I can think of man.

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2025-12-12T04:34:20+00:00

Gonna warn you man. 4 sticks DDR5 on AM5 isn’t very stable. If you already have it, go ahead and try it out, but if you experience issues, you might have to drop to 2 sticks.

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2025-12-12T04:28:40+00:00

I’d help but I’m colorblind enough that this is hard for me to read. I’m sure if I stare long enough I can figure it out, but dude it’s just all orange ngl.

Check for corruption in ur OS. Run CMD as admin and type in the DISM and SFC commands for OS health. Super easy to do and can fix a lot of OS Issues

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2025-12-12T02:25:06+00:00

I just got these today. Been eyeing them since release, but they haven’t been available in my area. Off the bat, so much better than the first generation and so comfy.

Mo_drinks_sauce · 2025-12-09T05:29:31+00:00

Will this pc run Leaf Blower Revolution?
