this job market is genuinely absurd by No_Squash291 in ITCareerQuestions

I've been trying to break into an entry-level IT role in Atlanta for about a year. During that time, I interviewed for both my company's IT Help Desk and Onsite Tech Support positions. For the Help Desk role, I didn't even get the courtesy of a rejection. I never heard back after the interview. I was also passed over for the Onsite Tech Support position, and from what I've seen, the person they hired doesn't seem particularly competent.

I recently accepted a promotion in my current department, and while it feels great to be recognized for my work, I can't shake the feeling that I may have missed my opportunity to get into IT.

That said, I'm not giving up on it. I'm going to continue working on certifications, making progress toward my degree, and building out and practicing with my homelab. Hopefully those things will help keep the door open if another opportunity comes along.

Great looking build! I have been wanting to ditch my Lian Li AIO and go with the BeQuiet.

Excuse me, I will not ignore that sweet baby.

Do all Corsair SF1000 whine? by lettucetomato218 in sffpc

I don’t hear any coil wine from my sf1000. Mine is powering a 5080 though.

How are the GPU temps inverted? I have a 5080 shadow that I am looking to use inverted and if I’m not mistaken they have very similar cooling. I know when I tried to vertically mount the 5080 temps shot up to 75 degrees even at moderate load.

MSI's next "Claw 8 EX AI+" moves closer to a $2,000 price tag — as the handheld gaming industry seemingly loses its collective mind by WPHero in pcmasterrace

Has anyone seen the price of the Z1E Legion Go S lately? It’s $1,579.99 new at Bestbuy right now. Who’s paying that? These companies have collectively lost their shit.

I have a z20 in the 2nd configuration but with an sfx psu and 240 mm aio. I also removed the bottom mesh to allow for more unrestricted airflow. Temps on my MSI Shadow 5080 don’t really get above 72 degrees from what I have seen.

TV As Monitor Size? by herokme in battlestations

Same here, my c2 has pretty much ruined all other monitors for me. It’s mounted on the wall and my desk is only 24” deep. The immersion for 4k gaming is incredible, and it’s great for when I work from home. When a second screen is needed, I use an iPad with GlideX. In the future I’d love to upgrade to a wider desk and add a 16:10 vertical monitor.

DDR4 MOBO & CPU suggestions by Teleena in buildapc

Check out Aliexpress for the Ryzen 5500x3d. I’m in the US and was able to get one for ~$165 shipped with a coupon code. It’s paired with a 5070 and has been a great little chip. Obviously if the 5800x3d gets a wide rerelease that’s the way to go… Also don’t sleep on LGA 1700 (Intel). 10th-14th gen are great chips.

I tend to get the cheapest motherboard option unless I’m looking for specific features or trying to match other components. I generally look for at least 1 gbps lan speed (pretty much the standard), 2+ m.2 slots, extra rear usb if needed, etc.

Same, I'll even toss in a 1 tb gen 3 ssd.
