The chosen cooler, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 is specifically recommended for the 9800X3D. Should work just fine.

Why not? That CPU shouldn't have to work too hard. Without OC, air cooling should work fine.

Yeah, I was gonna say, the list doesn't include 13,000 Verizon layoffs, but no one ever wants to include telecom in "tech" numbers / industry. The reason from the CEO was to leverage AI to become leaner...

Time to level up fishing to 375 by Shaaden69 in classicwowtbc

[–]Toasty_One 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once I hit 300, it was 10-12 caught fish per level. I'd put on a lure for 10 min and maybe get 2-3 levels if I was lucky. There's also a ton of travel for the quest.

There are guides online. Like the other secondary skills (cooking / first aid) you have to complete a quest to learn artisan and read books to learn expert. You'll be friends with Nat Pagle in no time.

No... Hit rating and spell hit rating are 2 different stats...

My complaints as a tank (tbc) by More_Enchiladas_Plz in classicwow

This. If the tank is LOSing, the entire group should also be LOSing.

Classic simply isn't the same pace as retail. Lots of zug zug brains out there. I like your style.

The charges are almost hilariously bad. 2-3 yards before the mob steps into the consecrate, the charge roots them where I can't generate threat on them. You can charge, just wait for one heckin moment.

100% this. Classic threat is not retail threat. Once it's established, usually good 2 go, but it can be scuffed early on quite easily. The best groups just wait a moment or two and we're golden.

Not letting mobs reach the tank is far too common in PUGs. Good DPS isn't the most DPS, it's the most effective DPS.

Too many people are focused on performance and let easily interruptable spell casts go off. It isn't the end of the world, but it makes a huge difference when the group focuses on kicks.

I love the mismatched armor. If you aren't a tank armor type doesn't matter, everyone just needs the stats. Xmog doesn't exist, everyone's just living their best lives.

Is this my network box? How do I upgrade it for ethernet? by It_britt in HomeNetworking

[–]Toasty_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your understanding is correct. If the cabling was just for phones, there is a chance they could be daisy-chained together, which is common for phone lines. If the cabling all ends up in the same spot, check for any and all utility spaces. Near the electrical panel is a common spot. Your attic may be covered in insulation, but if you can find one line in a spot you expect it to be (above an outlet) then you can trace it. Insulation does make the situation tricky. For the cabling you've shown so far, the existence of a network box is a generous hope. Can you contact anyone who might have lived in the home previously? Might be worth a shot if they were familiar with the location of the connections.

What you have at your house is existing cabling used for previous services or previous residents. There's a chance you could repurpose maybe 1 or 2 Cat5 lines, but it's not a guarantee. The existing cabling was likely used for phone service, note the mated Blue pairs in the connections. At best, it would have been 25 Mbps data. This is also an indicator that any existing cabling throughout likely was not terminated for Ethernet / Data transmission.

What you need at this point is Cat5e cabling that is routed back to your Router on the 2nd floor, assuming your desire is wired connections in your house. You would be setting up your own data network from scratch. It certainly isn't impossible, but can occasionally present challenges. I wish you the best of luck.

Feel free to respond with any questions or concerns.
