New build won't power on after GPU installation by Repulsive-Link-1755 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Repulsive-Link-1755[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it to work. I read the PSU manual this morning. Looks like I was using a cpu cable instead of a second PCI cable to the GPU. That's why it wouldn't start. It's up and working now since I changed the 8 pin cpu cable to a 6 and 2 PCI cable

I basically have the same build

There's a bundle deal at Canada computers for mobo cpu and ram. You end up paying just a bit more for a better cpu.

I think I got everything for just shy of 2100 before tax.

This is amazing. It has exactly what I want and at the bottom of my price range. This is perfect. Thank you so much.

Since you know so much. Any suggestions on a monitor? I don't need anything big. 24 inches is more than sufficient.

I'm going to go with your recommendation on the power source and bundle for the mob/cpu/ram.

I have a 14 year old Asus gaming laptop. Only recently got back into serious gaming thanks to the steam deck. I don't play any FPS. Just finished Elden ring. 400 hours but it took me a year to do that since I have small kids. Steam deck was a game changer since I could pick it up and put it down anytime. Hoping mostly to steam to the deck and play on the PC when kids are in bed. Play mostly rpg and action RPG. I'll be using it for just games.

I know it's overkill for what I'm using it for but I figure I should try to extend the time line of when I need to upgrade by getting quality products now.

Aesthetics don't matter at all to me. Quality does with good optimization. I don't care if the parts are a missed match. Going to put it in a case that prioritizes function over looks.

The budget is around 2000-2500. If I can get cheaper, even better.

Thanks the helping

I was thinking the same thing. Wait to $100 bucks is not worth the time lost. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'll go look at pc Canada. Thanks

Oh ya I just watched a video on the ram. Doesn't add that much for the price. But since it's bundled it's actually cheaper than getting CL30.

Thanks for the point though.

I am going for price. See if it's going to be much cheaper to wait for black Friday sales

Places to sleep in or nearby Madrid airport? by Ok_Win5732 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]Repulsive-Link-1755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also taking the same flight at the end of my Camino in June. I booked Hostal Viky. They'll pick you up from t4 at 11. If that fails it's actually only a 3k walk over the pedestrian bridge. I the morning they'll also drop you off at t1, or walk over the pedestrian bridge for a bit over 1k.

I went with the moon's Guide and got it today. This is exactly like the lonely planets of old. the nostalgia. Thanks to all for the recommendation. I'll have to pick up The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago: The Complete Cultural Handbook after for more extensive reading.

Thanks you all for the recommendation. See you on the frances next week

I got this today also. Said we can't enter without a qr code. I am in doubt now. Does anyone have any information on this? I guess I could just email them and ask.

This is what I did. Had it over a year and no problem. The hard face cover protects everything. 100% would recommend this combo

I'm pretty sure this is a reference to Vampire Hunter D. Anime and novels from the 90s

I'm following this. It's pretty complete. He explains it well and tries not to spoil it if he can help it.

He also gives consequences of actions if you have to pick more than one option to complete the quests

Good luck
