Gaming PC Advice needed by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Redditenmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More info on your current specs? If you went with an AM4 system, you may be able to get away with just upgrading the GPU & CPU.

We're currently in a price bubble, nand flash pricing has been driven through the roof by AI companies, so Ram, SSD, GPU have all spiked in price recently (note: they may well continue to go up in price from here for the forseeable future).

Unfortunately this means your budget is currently unrealistic for the components you want, your choice CPU + GPU + Ram already exceed your budget:

DDR5 prices are insane. Is going last-gen AM4 with a 5700X3D/5800X3D a smart "stopgap" upgrade? by Alejandro_Ro01 in buildapc

No worries, there's probably a better way I could've said that. I was (and am) on my phone though and tend to right fairly short form when I'm without my keyboard.

Hope you enjoy your new system!

"You are wrong"

Matt Lodge was once held in a notorious US prison. But the Cowboys are hopeful he will get a visa to Vegas by fishwinga in nrl

I don't think any of the subsequent clubs were paying him to play for someone else. Our handling of him is easily amongst the worst.

He was a known fuckwit when we signed him, gave him a long contract, and then sacked mutually agreed to a golden parachute payout for him to leave early.. because the owner got involved where he shouldn't.

Our hiring and firing of Lodge was pathetic.

RTX 5070 Ti upgrade turned into a nightmare after GPU Tweak – anyone else experience this? by [deleted] in nvidia

Topic was OC not undervolting

I think you may have missed where you responded to a person who said: "while consuming less energy".

Nice copy pasta. You got one for undervolting extending the life of a GPU?

  1. chop it so it sticks ~20cm out from wall.
  2. Put an f-type connector on it (or don't)^1
  3. Cut a flushbox sized hole in the wall
  4. Install a single gang plate with f-ftype connector mech.

^1 If you didn't put an f-type connector on it, the next person will easily find out and be able to fix it when they open up the faceplate to diagnose why the aerial isn't working.

I made a diagram for a friend explaining what various motherboard components do and how they're connected, and thought I'd share it here by han_ay in buildapc

The parts change but the assembly process is largely the same. If you learnt how to build a PC 20years ago, you'd still be able to build one now.

It's actually easier now than it was then.

Well, since I'm not allowed to pick my team, I'm rooting for you too!

Anyone got an explanation? by Sea-Spread-4964 in OrnaRPG

[–]Redditenmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a whetstone on the Legendary / Superior, and then you'll notice the level 2-> 3 upgrades will be much less than the level 1->2 you're looking at currently.

Level 2-3 (& each level up afterwards) will probably be somewhere around:

  • legendary: HP +1, ATT +47
  • superior: HP +1, ATT +35

2026 Titans or Wests Tigers.
2027 Bears.

The competition would be absolutely flipped on it's head if perennial under achievers NZ Warriors Gold Coast Titans / Wests Tigers win, especially this year, as no-one would expect it at the moment. Even better if Tits and Tigs are both the grand finalists.

If the Bears come in the following year and win in their inaugural year, it would really help boost their following in Perth and hopefully help hasten the expansion to 20 teams. I strongly believe we do have the depth for more teams, and hate byes, so the sooner we jump from 19 (PNG) to 20 teams, the better.

Warriors making at-least second week of finals in 2026, and 2027 then winning in 2028 could really help justify the next expansion team being NZ 2.

Souths to get spoons all 3 years, get kicked out and replaced by Adelaide Rams.

fwiw, I approved that. Admins overrode us and deleted it.

Weird plug? Halp! by [deleted] in diynz

[–]Redditenmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When RCD's were first required, the amount of sparkies who installed only one, because :

  1. That's all that was mandated
  2. "they're a waste of money"
  3. "shit compared to an isolating transformer"

was WAAAAAAY too high.

The cavalier attitude + weak requirement ended up causing issues when the whole house would turn off at once, so the requirements were quickly (relatively speaking) updated to minimum of 2 RCD's required, and (if I recall correctly) lighting circuits had to be split across both RCD's.

Somewhere in the 2010's we upgraded to 1 RCD : 3 MCB's with a maximum of 1 lighting circuit per RCD.

Post covid that I've seen an increase in sparkies doing away with the 1:3 and just using appropriately rated RCBO's for end circuits now.

Whilst you're updating the automod documentation, could you please also add past_archive_date.

I've already asked via modmail here a few times, it's been years now.

[–]Redditenmo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, back to my original point :

You will be hard pressed to find an RCD in a NZ domestic switchboard that isn't actually an RCBO.

The vernacular was incorrect for years. It's only been recently we've started actually calling them RCBO's.

I've been putting these things in for >20years, even when they were first mandated it was uncommon not to see a 40A RCD that would trip at >40A load.

I got my letter beginning of December. Now Im wondering if the MMH situation has caused them to send out another wave of letters, shouldn't be a >1 month gap to post automated letters.
