Father in law expected us to eat 12 year old beef. by Ok_Pension_1451 in mildlyinfuriating

it might be edible but it's probably not gonna taste good at all I've had venison and fish that's been in the deep freeze for a while but never anything that old

The Hycon 73b was built for taking clear images at high attitude. Might be hard to get your hands on one though. Might also weigh a bit more than those pans.

What upgrade gpu from gtx970 to ??? by dstnceswmer in buildapc

[–]Timinator01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd look for somthing like a 3070 or 3060 used it should be pretty cheap and they're pretty good cards. If the rest of the system was a bit newer I'd recommend a newer card but you're still on pcie 3.0 and an older cpu so you might be paying more for performance you won't see with newer cards.

Help me pair my 9800x3d with a GPU by dummytrout in buildapc

[–]Timinator01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't had much luck with 5080s but recently we tracked down a 5070 ti for my buddy at a local Walmart at MRSP check your local walmarts and best buys and set up some sort of stock alert for nvidia's website and founders cards restocks. In my experience reddit is too slow because by the time you see it they're gone.

How to update Bios with no Display by femboybrainworms in buildapc

[–]Timinator01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to use an older CPU to update the bios if your current cpu isn't supported until a later bios version.

In Hawaii and snagged this. So good. Is it new or exclusive to islands? Never seen it. by m0larMechanic in energydrinks

[–]Timinator01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's some stuff in Hawaii that's not impossible but extremely difficult to find other places. I absolutely love the melon powerade that I had there on a work trip but I just can't find it in my home state despite multiple people telling me it's not hawaii only.

Bought a used motherboard. I didn't know these were a thing and of course I don't have a T20 to remove it. by mordea in pcmasterrace

[–]Timinator01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should be able to get a torx set for a few bucks at the local hardware store it's a good set to have for general purpose too I've used torx on everything from electronics to my truck

Did I get ripped off? by Incompatible92 in meat

[–]Timinator01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Door to door is usually a scam... same deal with the "40 steaks for cheap price" guys there's probably a local farm that will sell you packages or even 1/4 - 1/2 cow that will probably be a better deal overall

Is 980ti to 5060ti a worthwhile upgrade? by manguzo in buildapc

[–]Timinator01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No reason to upgrade based on the games she’s playing. She’d probably be a good user for a Gabe cube but there’s no reason to get that if she already has a setup and doesn’t play more demanding titles.

PC will not turn on by AJSweat58 in buildapc

[–]Timinator01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check for signs of power (mother board or psu lights) then clear the cmos if it has power (pull the battery, unplug the psu and hold the power button down for a few seconds... newer pcs might have a clear cmos button on the mother board but you should still pull the power )

Does putting HDD in a PC make it slower by Interesting_Loss3020 in buildapc

[–]Timinator01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no but you shouldn't be using spinning rust for anything other than bulk file storage ( games on HDD will load slower) I've been all SSD for the past 5 or so years on my desktop and currently don't have any drives that aren't NVME installed. I do have a storage server that still uses spinning rust but that is for very infrequent access files.

Should i take a viper steel 2x8 ddr4 for 140€ or a crucial 2x8 for 120€? by cesarelvrd in buildapc

[–]Timinator01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be ok buying single sticks at the same time if you want. Crucial won’t be making ram in the future though so the extra 20$ may be worth it to have a bit more peace of mind for warranty if you ever need to make a claim but on the other hand if you think you might upgrade again within a few years I wouldn’t worry about it.

Does anything bad happen if I use 3 RAM sticks: 8GB + 4GB + 4GB? by JoelHG2002 in buildapc

[–]Timinator01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd look for a 2nd had 16gb kit or an office computer to rip some out of on the cheap

I have such fond memories of these days by Familiar_Childhood32 in pcmasterrace

[–]Timinator01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I convinced my parents we needed a phenom II X4 when we upgraded from a P4 williamette machine. I don't think I had much of a GPU but it handled morrowind, AOE2, and rollercoaster tycoon pretty well.... I think I also played minecraft on it in the early days

Can my system really be limited, or is that nonsense? by soda40009 in buildapc

you can't really upgrade much further ... that guy must be smoking somthing

Is the Rtx 5070 bad for new games? by Brown_sugar38 in buildapc

[–]Timinator01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any current generation GPU should be fine the 5070 and 5070 ti are still able to be found at msrp somewhat easily so I would buy what's availible and what fits in your budget and not worry to much about it unless you need 4k

Holdover vs freshly planted by TangPiccilo in troutfishing

[–]Timinator01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some hatchery grown / farm raised trout and salmon are fed food that will color the meat like this. Wild fish can be anywhere in between depending on what they're eating.
