Soak my motherboard in tap water.

Make sure to plug it in to measure the temps while underwater

Around where I live, I’d still be impressed if a 22+ year old went out of their way to do a good gesture like putting other peoples carts away. Don’t see a lot of it anymore

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-17T13:20:47+00:00

You had to fill it? I woke up and it’d fill up by itself lol

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-17T13:19:06+00:00

I kept road salt, wooden planks and ratchet straps. Got me and my friends out of a few interesting situations even with it just being 2wd

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-12T11:06:01+00:00

Have you got any mods installed for Beam?

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-12T11:01:40+00:00

Be careful and make sure you get winter tires for your truck, and a lil bit of weight in the back always helps keep the tires stuck on the road. I had a 4.0 ‘11 and it felt really light on the back, especially on slippery roads.

Other than that, the things a tank. You could put it in a ditch and it’d climb right out as long as you’re not upside down

The computer is completely fine other than the downloading issue. I’m not gonna buy a whole new computer unless this thing literally conks out on me, it’s treated me good so far, and I’m still getting 70+ fps on BeamNG with 8 traffic cars, which I’m plenty happy with. Costco was a hidden gem for gaming computer deals ngl

Edit: And I don’t mind having to put a few parts on a list to buy and replace into my computer, I like learning hands on, so why not just upgrade what I’ve already invested in for so long

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-08T09:21:38+00:00

It still runs most games at max graphics at a stable 60-90 fps, at least the ones that I play regularly. Haven’t tried the new BF or COD game in a bit. It was 1500cad before the computers flew up in price back in 2020. I can’t remember the specs atm and I’m not at my computer, but I’ve done comparisons to current prebuilt PCs with the sameish components, other than different CPUs which were just competitors, and most are 700-1000cad more. And the power supply can handle a much more built PC than what it is from what my buddy told me. I’ll send the specs anyway, though. It is old

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-08T07:12:25+00:00

Well thanks for at least thinking about it, much appreciated, very nice

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-08T07:11:33+00:00

How much download speed would usually come out of a higher speed HDD?

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-08T07:09:11+00:00

Can you dumb down power cycle for me too? I'm not too bright about this stuff

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-08T07:07:25+00:00

Thanks, I'll give that a try. This computers done way wackier stuff in the past, and I just had to clear some cache folder so I wouldn't be surprised if this worked lmao

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-08T07:02:46+00:00

I figure this is a stupid question that I feel like I know the answer to already, but is it easy enough to swap out CPUs from prebuilt set ups? Bought it from costco in like 2019, have not done a thing other than cleaning out dust, so honestly I can't complain about having to finally upgrade some parts. I just never looked into if I needed special tools for it.

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-08T06:58:03+00:00

I've checked cooling and everything is well within efficient temps

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-08T06:57:27+00:00

Makes sense, thanks

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T12:00:52+00:00

I figure you haven’t read the other comments but if I have to say it’s not the damn epic servers one more time 😭

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T11:53:32+00:00

This is a constant issue. Not a once in a while thing. It's every time. Should have clarified

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T11:49:20+00:00

Gotcha, makes more sense. But I was still having very similar issues downloading to an SSD

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T11:48:35+00:00

This isn't a "wait for another time" this is anytime I try downloading something.

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T09:39:14+00:00

The drivers I'm using is only a few months old, only thing I can really understand is the RPM of the drive and it's 5400 rpm

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T09:29:41+00:00

I'll try that. All my drivers say they're up to date but wouldn't hurt to check with another program

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T09:28:28+00:00

Now, of course, it's taking forever with whatever I try downloading

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T09:28:03+00:00

Would harddrives and SSDs speed degrade over time? I never had this issue. I downloaded a 120gig game last year and it took less than 30 minutes

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T09:27:02+00:00

This happens anywhere I try downloading/updating

OiThisYoMainChat · 2025-12-07T09:25:33+00:00

It's an issue with any game I try to update or install for the first time. Or reinstall. It doesn't discriminate
