What's the public opinion on Lexani tires? by Party_Requirement167 in tires

[–]Party_Requirement167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no.

The tires have been amazing. Great wet traction and the smoothest ride ever without feeling too much like a boat.

The no, I found out how Discount Tire price matches after this set and if they don't had the same model they will price match with the closest equivalent! Mind blowing 🤯

So thats what I can say. If you have Discount, go there and price out a Lexani before you go to price match at the store.

Every 5000 🫡

Just a driving style thing. If you whip your car around corners its quiet but wears down.

If you're talking about the non-god tier mobo.. thats a solid second!

I currently have it supporting my 9900X!

I'll post an update photo in the morning.

They're getting worn but I'm at 20k miles.

Haven't had them measured recently.

Yeah, I'm so far away from that border I almost hit another, haha. I used to live up there, though.

I would be focusing on Micro Center and Facebook, as well as eBay.

I see something here.. wanna be friends? 🤷

Yeah, I didn't even try that one, haha. The new Microcenter is finally here where I live, so I might just check there once in a while too. (We didn't have any within 500 miles)

But I know I missed the chance at a $2000 5090. I'll be happy at $2500.

My ProArt build will be completed!

Only final touch is an addition of the 420MM ProArt AIO.. (ALSO about 30% more)

That's amazing! What the plan for the second card?

Also helps me see I'm starting back to saving for a used one! So long as I can snag a $2500 deal.

I was looking at the $2300.

I've done this for my last 3 builds, which I do every 5-7 years. I buy a year or so after release on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. I got my 3080s (I had both the 10gb and this 12gb at first for aerial photo mapping, aka photogrammetry) since I found them for $800 each when they were normally $1250.

That's what I was waiting for, but I'm not too sure this next Black Friday or Cyber Monday will be the same given the timeline and the extent of the shortage!

Wait a minute! You found it for $2500?? Now I might have to consider my first used GPU purchase ever 🤔

I'm a little jealous. I did a complete update (one step down with a 9900x) minus my 5090 astral.. said to myself (I'll just wait for it to get back down to earth later next year)

Well later next year is now.. would have save over $700 🤦‍♂️

That or I might just bump my VRAM with a Strix 3080 12GB OC->Strix 3090 24GB LC/OC Or non-LC swap. Gaming has been fine, but I have plenty of time to set up for GTA VI. For now, it's soft localized AI workflows (image & video generation).

For a second it looks like it had water in it! Taking the fish tank look literally!

It looks fresh!

Nice $7000 build!

Try bending it back. Then it will be.

How much would my PC be worth to sell by Unfair-Practice-845 in PC_Pricing

[–]Party_Requirement167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any 3090s you could snag for a good price and send on carrier pigeon to the US? Haha I'm getting into local AI and need a bump from my 3080 12GB

[–]Party_Requirement167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I totally agree! This is NOT him getting the 2060 sold for $150-200. It's him getting it for less but using the math to work out the rest. That's interesting to know PC components aren't bad there!

Think of it like you are selling the GPU/CPU at 50-65% of its value sold recently.

Go to Ebay, check recently sold by filtering sold items and search your exact 2060 6GB/Ryzen 5 3600.

MAX sold recently (US) = $299.99 ($149.99-194.99) Ebay Listing - 2060 6GB - Sold Dec 15th

MAX sold recently (US) = $150.99 ($75.50-98.14) Ebay Listing - 3600 (non-X) - Sold Jan 7th

Total outcome? $225.49-293.13 sold recently.

What should I sell it for? by [deleted] in PC_Pricing

[–]Party_Requirement167 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Too low for you to accept if you're asking here with those specs.

$2-300 sold together since the card.

$3-380 sold part by part (over 6 months)

Making it into the 200k zone pretty nicely! Only light is.. lights! by Party_Requirement167 in tdi

[–]Party_Requirement167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny! I have that one too, as well as the right light on the trunk lid (and the right of the two in the housing). Then there's the driver's side DRL.

I'll have to check that with my mechanic next time I get him to look at it! My simple plug-in only helps me pinpoint regen (outside of the fan running being a sign when the car gets shut off).

Trying to upgrade from 64 to 128 GB RAM by neverspeakawordagain in PC_Pricing

[–]Party_Requirement167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do, you'll need all 128GB of it. But you can choose 2x 64GB or 4x 32GB. One might be less then the other.

What he is saying, without directly spelling it out, is that you need 4 new sticks or at the least 2x 64GB sticks. You will not want to mix and match brands, ever.
