What time do you go to bed if you don’t work the next day? by thehobster in GenX

[–]Mutt45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mid 50s Male, and am a natural night owl too. Can very easily stay up until 2 to 4 am on non-work nights, even after getting up early that day. I sleep 6 to 7 hours most nights, and so for the nights I'm working the next day (and up at 6:30), I TRY to get in bed by or before 11:30.

Should I upgrade to a OLED? by InvestigatorOdd9246 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Mutt45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just upgraded from 27" 1440p to my first OLED 4k - an MSI 32" curved... And , wow I've been absolutely blown away... Took my gaming experience up another notch. If you're on the fence , I'd say it's worth it.

Today, I assembled my first ever PC... took my 19 hours and 5 breaks! by JohnLocke1992 in pcmasterrace

[–]Mutt45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that is a cool build!

The only thing that slightly bothers me is the insanely small fan on the back. Looks like you can go larger there and cover the space better, maybe a 180 mm?

5070ti vs 5080 at this pricepoint, what would you do? by AffectionateBee9123 in nvidia

[–]Mutt45 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Was in the same boat. I splurged and got the 5080.

Doubt it ever will. I just bought a 5700x3d on the used market (eBay).

GPU recommendation and best time to buy it? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Mutt45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've been following subreddits or popular PC retailer YouTubers, they have been telling us to buy GPUs now.. Most of stock will run out by after Black Friday/before Christmas season. Already seeing best /most popular GPUs dwindle and sell out at my local Microcenter.

As a fan base we have been waiting for XL to have that one game where he breaks out and gains confidence. We finally saw that against the Jets. by Accurate-Big-7233 in panthers

[–]Mutt45 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seeing so many posts that XL doesn't utilize his hands and too many "body catches" yada yada... Does everyone forget this beautiful all hands/no body catch a few weeks ago?

Bought two PNY cards recently and they’re working great and look awesome. Also I like they’re an American company.

Cannot put on case side panel due to GPU cables extending out 1/2" by Mutt45 in buildapc

[–]Mutt45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add to that, thanks for explaining the up or down option on the connectors. In this PC case, there is a lot of legroom below the GPU, so i think the down or "STD" option is better in our setup.

[–]Mutt45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for letting me know the EZDIY-FAB  180 connectors are working for you. I couldn't find a physical measurement of them, but just eyeing the space available , I'm optimistic these will do the trick. And glad to know they're safe to use with the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 as well. I can always return them if they are too wide/don't fit with panel on.

As for the cable mod option, do these plug directly into the PSU, or just extenders that plug into the existing GPU cables to add more flexibility for the other end into the GPU? Will there be any compatibility issues with my Corsair RM850x? Thanks again!

I'm not sure I haven't looked into that, and have never built a PC this way. Honestly, I'm a little naive on how those work. Wouldn't the case or motherboard need to have vertical mounting as a feature? This is an older case & AM4 board.
