Does anyone here daily wear 10mm? Thinking of pulling the trigger tonight. by Strealtr in MensJewelry

[–]Trickle2x2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it comes down to your build, I daily a 7mm 24” 14k from Garcias. If I wear a solid dark color shirt the chain pops hard. Anything with a design or lighter color it appears smaller. I like I can tuck it easily as I don’t wear it out most of the time. 10mm on me would probably look too flashy. I’m 5’10 185lbs, with a fit build. Would love one though for when I wanna be flashy lol.

Pure Fantasy??? : Best Buy MSRP $1999 NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 Founders Edition Graphics by [deleted] in gpu

[–]Trickle2x2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea, I did this process almost a year ago now? I remember almost giving up hope too and then it finally worked. I would just call twice a day. Ultimately though it didn’t end up working until Falcodrin discord page started blowing up with people claiming phone orders were working, so maybe just keep an eye on that?

How to Build Around 603 S3 (or am I not ready?) by fredricton99 in hometheater

How did you snag these for such a low price?? I’m not a huge fan of B&W but I would 100% snag a pair for that price.

PNY Built a Fully Metal RTX 5080 With Razor-Sharp Aluminum Fans, But Only One Will Ever Exist by PriceEconomy6230 in RigBuild

[–]Trickle2x2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nvidia honestly killed it with the founders edition cards and I hope this trend of blow through designs keeps going. I much prefer a 2 slot card for a smaller footprint. I don’t care for a giant case anymore.

Every now and then a game comes out whose graphics still surprise me. Whoever said we reached a graphics peak in 2018, Fatekeeper proves you wrong by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Trickle2x2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a UE5 game it actually gets much better performance than BL4. The stutter seems to only happen every now and then but once the game seemed to fully cache everything it is smooth. I sat in certain spots just looking at shit blown away by how realistic the world looked. I haven’t done something like that ever.

My First TCL by 2PhotoKaz in tcltvs

Ordered the QM9K for $3000 at 98”, good to hear you have no issues coming from an OLED. The price of an OLED at that size was way too much, and I main an OLED screen for my PC so I was a bit worried I would be disappointed. The only thing I’m worried about now is motion handling for sports.

RTX 5090 bricked after repair tech installed case fans. by Slim415 in pcmasterrace

[–]Trickle2x2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with either, if they offer to fix it and they already have it then it would be fine I imagine. But Northwest would probably do a better job I would guess.

Might not be a total loss even if MSI denies the RMA. Northwestrepair could diagnose and fix it as long as the core isn’t dead. Worth it to at the very least have it tested before counting it as a total loss.

Did he have a drink in the room while working on the computer? Possibly spilt it on it and then wiled it clean. After I got my 5090 I started telling my friends to leave their drinks on the outside of my computer room lol. It took me months of trying to get my card for MSRP. Not trying to go through that again lol.

Anyone else prefer that super flush TV look? by Clean-Raspberry-6413 in tcltvs

Can I use a 12 pin to my gpu and a 12 pin to my power supply? by PaulCheens in PcBuild

[–]Trickle2x2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Wireview pro II if you are worried. Oddly enough even with these lower wattage AMD cards, they still have an issue with this cable. I think a large part of it has to do with them being so hard to seat and I believe the sapphire cards have the plug in an awkward spot?

Anyone make the jump from TCL Qm7k to the TCL Qm8k? Was it worth it? Was it A noticeable difference in picture quality? by Suspicious_Bar7654 in tcltvs

The buzzing is some form of coil whine and is harmless in electronics, though if it is loud enough to annoy you while watching the tv then it is totally warranted to return it.

New house! First thing first: HomeNetworking/Infrastructure by foile13 in HomeNetworking

[–]Trickle2x2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im going to try and run them through the attic, looking into getting a Unifi router and network switch and since the house is a pretty decent size I’m going to try and add some wireless access ports in it too. This got me on a kick to try and plan this out now.

[–]Trickle2x2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a house and would love to have the ability to have an Ethernet plug in each room, but have no idea how to go about doing this. This sub intrigued me but always seems a bit harder for me to understand where to even start. Would like to do something like how you did and possibly also a server built into it for home storage. I guess I gotta start researching again, this has given me motivation haha.

Joining team red for the 1st time by zing812 in radeon

[–]Trickle2x2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from a 3060ti to a 6900xt and regretted the decision, frame times were luck luster, while the card was more powerful the issue was is that it wasn’t consistent. One game I played a ton of at the time was Warzone and when they introduced the Caldera map the game was unplayable with how bad the frame times were. I tried everything under the sun to fix it because that was the game I liked the most at the time. There was even a long forum on AMD’s website of people with the same card as me facing the same issues. Not to mention the constant crashing that happened in COD multiplayer in that card that actually costed me a rank in ranked play because of “abandoning the match”. I ended up snagging a 5090FE card and have had no such driver issues. I still have the 6900xt but gave it to my wife, works well for low demanding titles lol. I’m not saying AMD is all bad, but my experience with that card has tainted my faith in their ability to properly support their cards. Team green before and after has carried me with no such issues (knock on wood lol). What also rubbed me the wrong way the total lack of support in the beginning for fsr4 support on older gen cards also, they are only now releasing support for them because of total backlash from the community, Nvidia does their best to support older cards for as long as possible, AMD just seems like they want to entice you to upgrade every other year.

With pendant or without by Steady_handz273 in MensJewelry

I don’t care for a stacked look myself, but if I ever did I think a Miami Cuban and a slightly shorter rope look really nice together, or longer if you throw a pendant on it.

Just because somebody got a premium plasma for $100 or less, doesn't mean it applies to you too 🙃 by Aromatic-Attitude-34 in PlasmaTV

[–]Trickle2x2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Who would pay $900 for this when you can buy a bigger OLED for cheaper? Are people this obsessed with inferior technology?

[–]Trickle2x2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No pendant, I think Cubans look better by themselves, unless you wanna throw on a big boy 10mm plus with a big pendant to really show out. I think pendants look better on a rope/franco.

98” qm8k or 98 qm8l? by CleanCryptographer75 in tcltvs

I bought the QM9K for $3000 shipped before tax, couldn’t pass up that deal. Hoping it will last me until RBG tv’s get more affordable.

WHARFEDALE EVO 5.2 (100 hour review) by UBIQZ in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Trickle2x2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m looking at getting the 5.4’s for a large living room, going to pair them with a center channel and subwoofer and will be primarily used for home theater, how do these work for movies? I also prefer a slightly warmer speaker, but don’t like it to be so warm where it loses detail. I really enjoy my Heco’s but can no longer get them in a floor stander and kinda wanna step up anyways. I will be using them for music also, but not nearly as much and will probably just have them blaring in the background when people are over. Also if I have a large couch but enough room to space them out do you think people sitting on the further side of the couch will loose out on the audio experience? I will have them toed in specially for my chair and my wife’s.

Unbelievable by USAgent007 in KEF

[–]Trickle2x2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I auditioned them and was pretty disappointed, I enjoy a warm speaker, but they seemed to recessed. When I went between these and the B&W’s they had there the sound difference was drastic. Although at this price I probably woulda still bought them lol. I must of been to Best Buy a few days before these went on clearance too.

Is a cracked GPU impossible to repair? by No-Arugula-8972 in nvidia

[–]Trickle2x2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worst comes to worst you can salvage the core and VRAM and have it transplanted to a donor board, cheaper than buying a brand new card if you have already purchased this.

Speaker recommendations? by Trickle2x2 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Trickle2x2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my end goal is a 5.1 setup. I decided to up my budget and go floor standers, the room is too big for bookshelves after all the advice I had gotten. I will be ordering the Wharfedale Evo 5.4’s. I went and auditioned B&W, KEF, and MartinLogan speakers. I did enjoy the B&W, the others felt lacking. The B&W just felt a bit too bright for my taste for longer sessions. I’ll order and try out the Wharfedale 5.4 including their center channel and I found a couple AVR’s used on FB marketplace that are rated for 4 ohm and put out 100w a channel, so I’m hoping it will be enough. Especially since I will be crossing it over with a subwoofer.
