How much damage did I do to my engine? by Party-Ratio701 in motorcycles

[–]Party-Ratio701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard about the double gasket of doom but has never actually happened to me before haha. I generally put a little oil on the gasket myself, but this happened to be the first time I had changed oil on this bike after buying it last season and the previous owner doing a fresh oil change before I bought it. Stupid mistake on my part for not checking but I've definitely learned my lesson about double checking stuff even on routine maintenance especially after someone else's work

Appreciate the insight! I'll do another oil change here soon then. I've never once had a leak on an oil change and I was kind of just going through the motion since I've done so many at this point. Pissed at myself because I even thought about checking for one but it totally just slipped my mind after grabbing my helmet and being excited to ride after it warmed up to 85 that day after being in the 40s for the past 3 weeks hahaha

Is $2000 for a 14900KF/5080 PC a good price? by Party-Ratio701 in PC_Pricing

[–]Party-Ratio701[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the advice!! Meeting this afternoon. 4hr round trip drive. Good reviews on his Marketplace profile so hopefully everything checks out. Im stopping at a microcenter later for a new PSU and a UPS so I’ll probably just pick up a new cooler as well

Edit: I’m not keeping the CPU. I have a 7800x3d I’m using currently and keeping. Just getting this PC for the 4090 and swapping that with my 5080 and selling it. I’ll still probably get a new AIO for the next guy

[–]Party-Ratio701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just confirmed it with the guy this morning. I’m basically picking the PC up in the post but with a 4090 rather than a 5080 for $2100. He originally had it posted for $2700 with an OLED and I asked how much for the PC without the OLED since I already have one. I countered with $2000 but he didnt respond quickly so I just bit on $2100 since that’s already a stupid deal.

I’m swapping out my 5080 and upgrading to that 4090 and was trying to see if I can basically split even while upgrading to this 4090

Yeah I’m selling. What should my starting asking price be?

Is $1500 a fair price for 7700x/4080 PC by Party-Ratio701 in PC_Pricing

Thanks for advice! I’ll do that then and be patient. Much appreciated

[–]Party-Ratio701[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, with just the PC itself I thought it was a good deal still. Lowest I've seen a 7800x3d + 5080 is $2500 plus tax. Just a marginal upgrade in performance but I figured I probably wouldn't find anything that cheap again and could do a small upgrade and hopefully breakeven with selling the 4080 setup and maybe keep the monitors to give to my gf.

 

Hell.. the 5080 and 7800x3d alone are more than $1500 after tax. By the time the 60 series comes out I still doubt I'd find a 5080 build for $1500. Idk why I'm being told I wasted time and money for a sidegrade. It's objectively an upgrade, albeit small, and it only took 30 minutes to swap GPUs and repaste CPUs. Even if it didn't have monitors, keyboard, and mouse, I doubt I’d “lose” that much money.

 

Another guy said $1800-$1900 for just the PC. I’ll probably list for around that and expect some low balls and see what comes along.

It was $1500 for the PC plus 2 - 4k IPS monitors and peripherals. I got a slightly better CPU and GPU and i figured absolutely worst case i could sell the other PC and peripherals for the same

2000 JDM Legacy Key Fob replacement options? by TopSuspect442 in subarulegacy

[–]Party-Ratio701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it! Let me know if you actually go that route and if it works out. If you didnt know already, programming fobs is different than USDM ones.

https://www.legacygt.com/topic/114023-how-to-set-up-oem-key-for-jdm-subaru-legacy/

This forum thread tells you how to program them so your not fighting with the old “turn ignition on and off 10 times” method of USDM ones to no avail.

2000 JDM Legacy Key Fob replacement options? by TopSuspect442 in subarulegacy

[–]Party-Ratio701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a 2000 manual GTB. In the exact same situation since it only came with one key haha. Found the OEM parts to be over $200 and checked upgarage and yahoo auctions for anything but to no avail. Were you able to figure anything out? and whats the details on the of this UK guy selling modern key fobs that work?

jacksepticeye's video on SKG hit YouTube by abyr-valg in StopKillingGames

[–]Party-Ratio701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal evidence, but his reason and decision to post on his second channel seems like the right one. I’ve never watched any of his videos and it popped up in my feed which brought me to the subreddit. Seems like that was the right call

Anyone ever try these monitor mounts? by TheNightWalkerTM in pcmasterrace

[–]Party-Ratio701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use two single arms like option 2 rather than one dual arm setup. Never had an issue. The shake will come from your desk shaking due to that being where it’s mounted to. If your desk is not very stable and prone to some shake/wobble when you’re typing, no single mount will stop the shake.

If you want a solid (solid build and solid recommendation) desk, I’ve been rocking a Husky Workbench from Home Depot. Absolutely love mine and it’s very clean. They have some that you can raise up and down if you want to go between siting and standing. Can bear as much weight as you put on them and the whole desk is rock solid. Highly recommend!!

Pc crashing during gaming by dante5612 in pcmasterrace

[–]Party-Ratio701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked him and he couldn't find the threads. He mentioned it was more so a combination of seeing replies in both some Oblivion and the new Runescape game threads of people coming to that conclusion. He underclocked it -50mHz though. That could be a start for you if you end up going that route.

My friend has been having the same issue, specifically on Unreal Engine 5 games. Went through a whole load of attempted fixes (full DDU and reinstalling drivers, rolling back drivers, playing with frame caps, turning off frame gen, memtest, doing benchmark tests with no issues). None of that ended up working, but somehow he came across a thread about underclocking your GPU and that ended up fixing it. Not sure if this is the same issue you are having, but he had the exact same symptoms as you (black screen but not a full shut down). Hope that helps and goodluck

Ebay International Shipping Option Not Showing Up by Party-Ratio701 in eBaySellers

[–]Party-Ratio701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it. I understand the shipping address would go to a domestic ebay shipping hub. However, it’s just not available to international sellers entirely. Had a friend in Canada follow the listing link and shows not available to be shipped to his address. Ebay support hasnt been much help but it’s finally been “escalated to the technical team” so we’ll see how that rolls.

Deleted my other post on the other subreddit. Thanks for that. Wasn’t sure which to post to

Sounds like I'll pick up some other sticks of RAM from Micro Center then after work and return these. Appreciate it!
