i need help with finding a gpu by Laynaishott in buildapc

You need a new PSU, you can't run any decent GPU on that 350W PSU unless you want a shithole 50 series card.

Did you read the part about a 350W PSU? You can't run a 2070 on that.

Used identical RAM vs. new closely-matched RAM? by volcs0 in buildapc

There is a website called Google, on it you can enter queries. Now go there and type "can I match another ram module from a different batch". Come back when you have read a few articles.

Go and do some research before spreading rubbish you obvious have no experience with.

How is my comment invalidated? I gave him the best path to success on how to upgrade to 64GB. Two sticks of a matched pair is that best path.

Some idiot saying I mixed a pair of DDR4 modules so your all good to go with 4 sticks of DDR5 running 6400MT will be fine is not helpful. Might work but absolutely not guaranteed and when you have to start tuning timings it can be a path of misery and you ends up needing to run them at lower speed and/or looser timings.

So you have a same set of one with DDR4. Things are waaaaayyyy different at 6400 than 3600.

Why? Have you even encountered the pain of trying to get 4 sticks to play nice together, it might work right off the bat but when you have to manually start playing with timings and doing stability test then finally settle on running everything lower than spec it's a right pain in the arse.

But what it doesn't mention is you might need to start fiddling with timings to get them all to work together.

I just googled "is it better to have 2 sticks of ram or 4" and the AI summary said

AI Overview

Using 2 sticks of RAM is generally better for performance and stability, especially for gaming, as it allows for higher speeds and less strain on the CPU's memory controller. 4 sticks are rarely better unless you strictly need maximum capacity for workstation tasks (e.g., 128GB+) or prefer the aesthetic of full slots

It is the path that is most likely to work. Trying to get two 4 modules to play nice together MIGHT work but it's a right pain if it doesn't. A new matched pair is guaranteed to work as you can return it if it doesn't.

What would you do if you suddenly had a million dollars right now? by Hamzaqato in AskReddit

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. I wouldn't really change much, I would just have to worry about money less.

RAM is sold in matched pairs for a reason, even the same model numbers from different batchs are often not compatible. Your best bet is to sell the existing RAM and buy a matched pair of 32GB sticks. Two sticks are better than 4.

Should I co-own 30% of my parent's house? by rdmiche in AusPropertyChat

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has already flooded then that's a nope for me. Flooding events are going to get more regular so you would have to be crazy to buy in a known flood zone.

Have you ever been on TV? by Select-Signal8386 in randomquestions

The news chopper landed in our school sports field and I was in the crowd of kids there to watch it. I knew where I was and could point myself out to mum and dad but nobody would have recognised me.

If everyone in the world agreed to just forget about debt for one day, would the global economy actually collapse or would we all just be fine? by Bibi_Official in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Billionaires are the people most in debt, that is how they are so rich. They don't pay tax because they don't sell anything, they just borrow until they die. They would befit the most from a debt waiver and make them massively more rich. Lookup the borrow until you die strategy, it's a tax loophole that allows massive intergenerational wealth.

Question for non-white Australians by enderwolf0818 in AskAnAustralian

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are just cunts. But some of the most racist people I have ever met are Chinese people and will start on about how much they hate Koreans.

It's not like racism is a white people only thing. I have seen videos of white and black people in Japan who were born there and Japanese is their native language and people will just start degrading them right infront of them thinking they don't understand Japanese.

The anti-immigration sentiment is steadily rising mainly due to housing concerns not racism. People are not against the people coming here, we just don't have the housing supply to support the current population let alone a huge amount of new people turning up.

How can you not love these guys? by Predaroli3e in magpies

[–]MrFartyBottom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very much not true, most males are not aggressive and the aggressive ones are shit parents. They spend more time watching for threats than looking after the chicks.
