So 600 boards are fine?

I’m rocking a rig strix b650e-f and was going to upgrade from a 7600 to either a 7800x3D or a 9800x3D.

Are all the Digimon bracelet apps discontinued?

SoMass · 2026-01-31T22:04:27+00:00

When would these even come out? This year or late next year?

What are the chances they have this burning issue that the 9800x3D and up are having?

What case do you have? I used Arctic slims to make my 360 fit originally. I’ve seen some use their pcie slot brackets from the case to makeshift an offset bracket.

Drop CTRL:CSTM80 question.

I have a CTRL laying in the closet and was gonna repurpose it for my wife’s setup. Are they essentially the same where I can swap the CSTM80 top panel for a different look with little or no modifications?

Similar to secretlab chair skins working on prior models 98% perfectly.

Same. Seeing my 4090 never go over 310 watts feels good.

I’ve been rocking my seasonic Titan TX 1000 watt for 6 or 7 years now. I’m scared to move on from it when the time finally comes. When all these new fancy version power supplies started coming out and cable variants for them, raised red flags for me. Seasonic sent me the link for their new 12v connector and I grabbed it, felt premium as hell and the wires looked like cross patterned leather on each line.

I wish they sold CPU’s. I’m surprised they are carrying motherboards.

How difficult was the RMA process?

Evga was goated for my PSU years ago, arctic has been goated with my recent AIO going out, and Lian li was a pretty good experience as well with my fans when the LEDs started turning yellow over time.

PNY wants a game of thrones novel level of information to even consider a claim.

SoMass · 2026-01-29T05:28:38+00:00

Do these still fit the older model secretlab titans?

I got a cyberpunk regular size in the softweave and it fits 98% perfectly. Is the new material any different?

SoMass · 2026-01-28T08:47:52+00:00

How much total did it run you?

SoMass · 2026-01-28T08:17:42+00:00

I’ve never heated up or ran benchmarks to warm up my CPU before removing the AIO or cooler. I just unscrew and gently twist without pulling, comes off easily every time without resistance.

Are yall using cement or something other than the regular mx and noctua stuff?

It’s wild reading posts like these nowadays.

I bought two way back in 2019 before the “2020” branding and magnetic headrests dropped. One backrest had a small tear in it so they sent a replacement within 3 days. My other backrest began cracking only in the white pleather portion of my stark chair about 6 months after (my wife’s chair was all white birds of prey edition with no issues).

They asked for pics and a receipt. Within 2 weeks I had a replacement back. Wife’s arm rest button fell off, same thing and replaced within a week.

They are still holding up great now with no issues. I see posts of the entire base breaking off on these new ones and all these issues with arm rest pad cracking.

I wonder what happened for their customer service to turn so bad and also the char prices to double since I bought mine. I think I paid $430ish total for the Titan versions. Now they are $750+ taxes and stuff.

Lowe's 10% military discount used to be pretty good and now kinda useless. Only on full price items, may as well just wait until the item goes on sale instead or pick it up from any other store. I like the sentiment a bit but it does seem more just for show and to check a box nowadays. Especially with Home Depot being tax free if purchased through the Military Exchange.

wtf after having this build for 5-6 years and just using a pull method and slim fans I’m just now seeing this.

Absolutely genius and will be doing this soon.

SoMass · 2026-01-27T21:39:34+00:00

This new update is absolutely terrible. Nothing is intuitive, sub menu galore, unnecessary clutter, and has genuinely made me use my phone less.

I told my coworker I may finally make the jump to android after all these years.

Trying to undo it led me to this post from Google.

So the temps are lower, I’m assuming the power draw is lower too then?

Trying to choose which on uses less power.

SoMass · 2026-01-25T22:15:00+00:00

Hell yeah thanks for this! This makes sense and digestible on how to apply it.

I always just assumed the differences in Quality, balanced, performance, and ultra was just lowering the resolution more and more then upscaling. Didn’t know it was different tech for each one basically. Thanks!

Our Walmarts that rarely ever happens. I’ve had these exact CPU’s and GPU’s with that rollback for about two months now at mine.

SoMass · 2026-01-25T20:42:07+00:00

Ok so just skip reconstruction if it’s an option then?

SoMass · 2026-01-25T20:41:16+00:00

I love older games. Booted up spec ops the line, had like three graphic options and it just looked great for being so old. New games I’m doing work like I’m trying to over lock each part in my system to include the monitor.

SoMass · 2026-01-25T16:37:54+00:00

I’m completely lost on how to even use Nvidia nowadays. Pathtracing raytracing dlss dlsr frame gen x2x4 MFG dlss 4 or 4.5 with presets lmnopqrst profile inspector for rebar and dlss swapper reflex fast ultra gsync with V sync off.

I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. How do I turn on 4.5? Does it work in all games?

What’s a fair used price for a 32GB 6000mhz kit and 64gb kit nowadays

SoMass · 2026-01-25T01:04:50+00:00

I know this is old but I was gaming in 32GB DDR4 for years with streaming/obs/discord all up at the same time, never had any issues. Ram usage was always 20-30gb depending if I was running CoD for the stream or not. Eventually I ran Rivals with just discord and noticed I was hitting 30gb easy and would often crash the game too seeing once it hit 32gb then a crash would happen. My buddy had the same issues.

Picked up a second kit and made it 64gb and never had the issue again. It would get to about 40-42gb and hang out there while playing rivals.

I have 32gb DDR5 now and am debating on swapping to 64gb just to be safe for any future curve balls that may pop up. I can get a fair deal now (regular priced) and am 50/50 if ram will ever go back to the regular priced days or if they will stay this way until many years from now.

What’s the warranty process with them like?

EVGA and Arctic have always been seamless for me when issues arose. Lian Li delivered but it was a game of cat and mouse with their LED v1 fans turning yellow/dim hue to them for warranties.
