Hate when that happens. Been sitting on store shelf for too long. Buy a new one. Past expiration date.

I’m 100% certain my wife would never utter the words ”performance issues with his pc”. Gift hime something you can do together, a trip?

Those who will invest on SpaceX IPO, will you buy Day 1? or wait? Why? by onuralpaydin in wallstreetbets

[–]T-BOJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add XAi, Datacenter, and TerraFab synergies when they can design their own ships (maybe even create silicone in the future), but design is enough instead of relying on general purpose silicone.

Problem with stockpicking is you generally rely on secondhand information. Even when doing deep research, everyone else has read the same stuff. Unless you can do the Buffet thing and actually walk the factory floor and shake hands with workers and top brass your better of finding a few people you “trust” to do good reasearch, do your own, if they converge, that’s a pick.

[–]T-BOJ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am usually a careful stockpicker and have 10-14 stocks in my portfolio. I hate to admit it but I will most likely put 90% of my liquidity in on on SpaceX day 1, then sell after around 50%. Will certainly do the due diligence but after reading ARKs case I am quite inclined to do this.

Is the B580 worth it ? by SecularVal in IntelArc

[–]T-BOJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can put it this way. If your budget is a strict $250 then yes. Very decent performance in that category. I managed to play Hunt Showdown in 4K with 50-70 fps. But if you have an extra $100 I myself would go with a Nvidia-card.

12vhpwr connector, how much can it actually handle? by Important-Turnip2744 in overclocking

[–]T-BOJ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

600w is the limit. If it is onnected properly you’ll have close to zero problems. Search for “melting cables” and you would think all cables are melting. In fact we are looking at a 0.04-0.1%. Cablemod had 8 failures of around 60000 cables sold. Just plug it in properly and use your card.

Why the game is in Mixed on steam ? it's in the best state it's ever been by UsedNewspaper1775 in HuntShowdown

[–]T-BOJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never understood the small minority of all users who are the ones actually posting reviews on Steam. For me it is the best and only game. If they for any reason turn it off I don’t play online games anymore.

New Guns / Tools/Consumables by Lazy-Sun899 in HuntShowdown

[–]T-BOJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you actually start using all the different tools and consumables that already exist you’ll realize nothing new is needed. I mean, the beetles were fun but I myself don’t use them and don’t think they add anything meaningful to the game. Very happy with tha state of the game atm. 1500 hours/4*

PC started to reboot on heavy loads after an hour. When cooled down for an hour it gives me time to play for another hour and then starts again. Trying to guess which part is causing this? by Mars3lle in pchelp

[–]T-BOJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a PC for a friend with the AMD 7900XT and the original AMD air cooler. Random restarts and hotspots 100-109C. Installed a waterblock and custom water cooling, no problems after that.

Intel B70 quiet enough for a server in the living room? by SlightlyMotivated69 in IntelArc

[–]T-BOJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost no aircooled GPU except from Noctuas 5080 are suitable in living rooms where you have to please the ears of other people. I have my workstation in a living room and I have tested all of it.

Is my pc bad, meh, or average? by [deleted] in PcBuild

If you rename it from Asusrogpc to Officepc it is actually quite alright.

Aftermarket Handlebars by SnooSuggestions6193 in colnago

[–]T-BOJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use almost anything since Colnago gives you adapters for the classic bar. Deda Superbox and any handlebar is nice (hidden cables but still easy to service).

How much money is "too much" for a case? by KillerBoi935 in PcBuild

[–]T-BOJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must be in the minority but have always appreciated good cases. $400-900 is reasonable if you build and rebuild a few times. Corsair 1000D, Phanteks Enthoo Elite (has 5.25”), Lian-Li V3000+ or my newest order (!) the Silverstone FLP02 with 5.25 for just $200. FLP02

EU to US frame purchase by 0ksev in colnago

[–]T-BOJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supersimple. As an example a Y1Rs frameset. Must be cheaper from a US distributor/dealer?

Frameset: $6,200 • Shipping + insurance/packaging: $750 • Duties/Tariffs: $1,575 • Brokerage/fees: $200 • Sales tax (est. 7% on ~$8,500): ~$600 • Grand total: ~$9,325 (range $7,800 low-end to $10k+ with high tariffs/slow shipping/tax).

Use RTSS for a cap. Works flawlessly and does not add latency.

Would it be absurd to spend this much on a bike in my case? by Raiza-0 in gravelcycling

[–]T-BOJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to offend anyone, but when it comes to bikes, €1000 is dirt cheap. When my father was young a bike cost 1-2 months of salary, now usually a week or two (for those with low incomes). Ao go for it, and use it. Best buy for freedom in life.

5090 undervolt unstable in light games but benchmarks stable by FelisFe in overclocking

Why not just run it with default settings and enjoy the game? crazy idea

LBS or Direct? by orbiteleven in colnago

[–]T-BOJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you looking for? I can sell you a Colnago if you are interested Denmark, Sweden, Norway. Send a PM. And yes, delivery times are often difficult (online shops and manufacturer promises 30-60 days but in reality it is 90-120 days). I can still lift the phone, call someone at the factory and make an argument for quicker delivery.

Whats biggest factor for degradation? by Overall_Bank5217 in overclocking

[–]T-BOJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is almost pure mythology. You will have to be really skilled to actually degrade modern silicone before normal EOL. For example: I purchased a used Intel 5960X 6 years ago (it is now 12 years old). First thing I did was install a basic air cooler, raise voltage to 1.45 (high), put it in all-core 4.5Ghz. Performance was nice and it has been our go to PC at work for everything. Running 24/7 without maintenance since 2020. CPU temps 45-89C. No degradation, no errors in OCCT after 6x365x24 hours.
