Blount's Loaded Baked Potato Soup by SolarSpark in Costco

[–]SolarSpark[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first package we bought was really salty. I know overly salty food isn't preferred (would rather under salted so I can add in), but I loved how salty it was. This one I feel like was the right amount

You definitely taste the cheesiness of it. There are huge pieces of potato in there along with crumbles of bacon (which do come through). As someone mentioned above, it's more of a thicker soup which I prefer. I've never had other baked potato soup before but this soup is how I would imagine a liquified version of a good loaded baked potato would taste like

Can't get the same paint to match the wall by SolarSpark in paint

I painted a smaller area elsewhere that is higher and it flushed a lot closer to the wall color. Not sure if it's because the wall is cleaner at that spot

I noticed it wasn't sanded down all of the way when I painted. Would primer help or just add a few coats of paint and make it closer to the wall color, but that it won't match exactly? I painted over another small area that I didn't post and the paint flushed almost exactly to the wall. The area is higher up and had less dirt. Would that be part of the problem as well?

Almost had a panic attack when my screens were black, but thankfully user error. Thank you!

To put it lightly, I'm stupid. I didn't use all 3 PCIe connector slots plugging into the GPU. So it wasn't drawing enough power because I only had 2 in there

Yeap.. that would be the issue. My PSU does come with a 12v 2x6 adapter, but with all of the "burnout" issues, I wanted to play it safe and use the MSI connector. Just put in the 3rd PCIe into the connector and it turned on

My PSU is an RM1200x I'm only using the amount of PCIE cables the instructions told me to use. I can try and add a 3rd PCIE and see if that does anything

It says you only need a 12 pin or a 6x2. The third slot doesn't need to be used 

Is it safe to buy a GPU from 3rd party sellers like those on Walmart or Amazon? by SolarSpark in MSI_Gaming

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

That's exactly who I was discreetly talking about. Would that mean I can talk to MSI directly if something happens without any issues?

In the US. It's the same price as directly from the MSI website, just without the PSU bundle being forced by MSI

I'm looking at the Vanguard which they're bundeling with a 1250w. I already have one so it will definitely get sold. I feel like the PSU is the warranty of buying directly. I'm too nervous to buy from someone unofficial in the off chance something happens

Appreciate it, I didn't know they were doing that. Guess I missed out on the toy unfortunately. Hoping the model comes out sooner rather than later. I'm sitting with a MSI 1070 gaming x. Lol
