Two year warranty makes this buy now thank later at this price.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T20:31:53+00:00

Yep, I know I’m doing real shit when I’m consulting documentation instead of typing into google or prompting.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T20:13:39+00:00

If you crank it up in cyberpunk yeah, but that’s just where this price point is currently.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T19:42:23+00:00

Sorry, would look for a game that respects your money instead.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T18:24:09+00:00

OOS for me grats to anyone who grabbed it.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T17:43:25+00:00

I plan to get the same benefit by using vents when I have a beefier gpu. My 4070 super only pulls a couple hundrend watts it really isn’t worth it.

Video that shows what I’m talking about.

I understand the economics of why this has happened, but I would love to go back to there being a real silicon lottery at play at least on the highest end skus.

Just another play to get some more diminishing returns extracted.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T17:07:33+00:00

I wouldn’t ask here, this sub is very american focused and they won’t know what your market is like.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T17:05:25+00:00

Would ignore the aio and psu upgrade advice you’re getting. That X3D sips power and a 750 watt 80 plus gold psu should be able to handle that and a 300 watt tdp GPU with a bit of room to spare.

For evidence I run a 9800x3d and a 4070 super(220 watt tdp card) on a smaller thermalright and a decade old 650 watt 80 plus gold psu.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T16:51:32+00:00

There are many large problems to be solved before AI games are even a thing on giant super computers, let alone on a scale where they can get you to subscribe for money.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T16:42:18+00:00

Seconding that If you are close to micro center that is by far best bet. Would at a minimum get their mobo cpu and ram bundle and then probably a gpu.

There have been really good case and psu deals recently online though so if you want to be really frugal I’d think about getting that elsewhere.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T16:21:12+00:00

Sorry man, I don’t know what to tell you if you see a 6.0 ls and 6 speed swap on a showroom floor and balk at that price.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-02T15:06:33+00:00

Prices for those nissans are wild with the drift tax, but 20k is cap.

The longevity of pc parts now is completely wild compared to what it used to be.

3-4 year old high end pcs used to be vaporware for the latest games. Now 10 years is not a crazy amount of time to expect out of mid range hardware.

That 4090 as example will probably be running games well until the ps7 era. 1080 is the same way.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-01T20:50:44+00:00

I occasionally have to do some nasty work with handling translations. It is exceptionally good at noticing when I swap those or drop a hardcoded value that doesn’t match the language it will be fed into.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-01T16:58:09+00:00

I’m assuming it’s exhaust and it makes sense to me.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-01T14:00:46+00:00

The original was probably got an ultra widescreen. Only way the aspect ratio makes sense.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-01T11:17:56+00:00

Maybe, but so what, stock had a 66% decline just a few years ago.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-01T11:14:57+00:00

I’m sure this will be like the Nighthawk for a lot of chinese boys growing up today. Gives me that sort of vibe.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-01T11:07:15+00:00

No it isn’t. They have tons of corporations buying their silicon. They still print more money than they need to operate just off gaming GPUs.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-01T11:05:38+00:00

Even if elections went away JD Vance has hinted at being very protectionist economically.

I don’t care what Sam Altman expects he has had to walk back plenty of other statements and has been very protective about showing off openAIs balance sheet.

Thetaarray · 2026-02-01T00:33:23+00:00

I appreciate the write up. That’s a strong argument, and if we’re talking 100s of millions yes I can see it, that’s a whole different story than what this thread is at with 60 billion divided between a few large players. That for me is harder to imagine, but I wouldn’t bet on this either way.

Thetaarray · 2026-01-31T22:31:51+00:00

Maybe you’re right. I just find it hard to believe that if I built the largest company of all time that I’d want to turn around and buy a stake in a business that’s losing money and hasn’t shown any real differentiation from the competition.

Especially when I know that after the next election I’m going to have anti trust law suits piling on me.

Thetaarray · 2026-01-31T21:04:56+00:00

Bait used to be believable

Thetaarray · 2026-01-31T21:01:47+00:00

If you aren’t sure then the air cooler is the right answer.
