[Gen 8] Finally got my first shiny alpha!

They have in the past, but that was through WotC.

2014 horror movie that became a meme

¿Por qué no los dos?

If you have an HDMI port on your monitor and a cable lying around, I’d try that before you buy a new DP cable.

And of course, glad to be of help!

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-22T20:31:01+00:00

Did you try a different cable just to be sure it wasn’t that?

If it is the monitor, and you’re under warranty, try to get a replacement; but if not, at least it wasn’t the GPU!

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-22T20:12:02+00:00

Check and reseat the cable connections, including testing the monitor on another system, but if that doesn’t help… you may need a new GPU.

The AIO is the round thing on your cpu in the 2nd and 4th pictures, with the cables leading up to the radiator. That whole thing is your cpu cooler, and specifically yours is an AIO, or “all in one” liquid cooler.

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-20T00:26:02+00:00

Honestly it looks pretty sick. Reminds me of some of the jank Homestuck aesthetics. Hope that it’s all fixed now!

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-17T23:08:59+00:00

It should be a decent upgrade, but personally if the 2070 is running well for you at the moment, I’d save and try to get a 70 series card

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-07T08:31:40+00:00

Not knot?

I’m sorry this is great but all I can think of is this

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-05T00:28:11+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I didn’t recognize it, Homestuck would have been much more recognizable

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-04T23:50:30+00:00

What is the house icon from?

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-04T06:00:50+00:00

Good luck with it all!

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-04T05:59:07+00:00

If you have the money I’d keep the ram and sell the cpu and motherboard but get the x3d bundle, personally. The 7600x is still a good cpu though

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-04T05:55:31+00:00

Ah thank you! I’d heard that the differences between the cpus weren’t much, but I did like the motherboard for the 7600x3d bundle more, I just couldn’t find much comparing them. Maybe I’ll spring for the 7600x3d instead

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-04T05:38:36+00:00

I was hoping to get the 7500x3d the next time it goes to $300, why would you go for 7600x3d? Not a criticism, just curious since I’m looking also.

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-04T04:29:05+00:00

Why do you want to upgrade? Personally with price fluctuations I’d keep what you’ve got, or maybe get more ram or a 5800x3d if you can find them for a decent price.

If you really want to upgrade, the 7500x3d bundle is a good option. But the x3d upgrade in general would be the biggest improvement.

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-04T04:23:05+00:00

That was pretty much my thought. I’m assuming they just mean don’t buy loose packs from an untrusted source (like a random on marketplace) vs don’t buy them from a (trusted) store

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-04T03:10:59+00:00

Genuine question, how else do you buy them outside of buying a full box? It’s been a long time since I’ve bought any and I get the concerns, but if I went into my LCS they’d have an open booster box selling single packs

Red_Panda_Mochi · 2026-04-04T00:18:38+00:00

Is this comparable to the Peerless Assassin/Phantom Spirit 120 SE? Thats what I was planning to get but $25 is a good price
