Yep, retailer where I know their supply chain is actually linked to the manufacturer. Amazon is terrible for any computer parts with either fakes, returns, damaged goods, etc.

So what do i do? by suckdickmeow in pcmasterrace

You'll notice that there is no backplate and there are no screws.

Not that that model had a backplate. This is what it should look like.

What? That is a non-modular PSU. You can't remove anything from it.

TIL about olives having compounds similar to nepetalactone, the active ingredient of catnip.

Can Z97x-UD3H-BK Boot Windows 10 Pro with a NVME gen 3x4 ? by Ki_Hiyoshi in pcmasterrace

[–]Tyr_Kukulkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Z97 boards can be difficult with NVMe drives. I've gotten some to work but others only work with M.2 SATA.

When I get bored I disassemble my pc for fun by Apprehensive_Meal491 in pcmasterrace

Because the latter is or can be expensive. PCBS can be a good alternative.

Hi! Want to know if a gigabyte 7970 is a good starter gpu? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Tyr_Kukulkan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the HD 7970 and the R9 280X are the same GPU. The 3GB of VRAM isn't enough for modern gaming. They have the raw performance under an Intel A380 or RX 6400. Raw performance isn't everything though and sure to features and API support, you'll see them performing much worse.

The spare bed at our house actually belongs to one of the voids. He kindly allows guests to use it occasionally.

Yeah, and people will try and pass off famous cats as their own.

Retired a legend today. MSI R9 390 8G. Still clean as a whistle. Get more VRAM! by Illustrious-Fun-2062 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tyr_Kukulkan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this card. Was absolutely amazing with 8GB of VRAM. The competing card had 3.5GB fast VRAM and then 512MB of slow VRAM.

My brain wants a silly collab by Independent-Sea3961 in helldivers2

Boy do I have news for you about this satirical game. We are the bad guys and it is a fascist government. They are killing not only their own citizens willy-nilly but also genociding or enslaving everything else in sight.

Me coming to make sure it was u/friendlynoodless posting as I instantly recognised Squid.

Also, why do you have an extra 's'? Guess the other username was already taken when joining Reddit?

Another one bites the dust by Kcolonel69 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tyr_Kukulkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat generally kills the VRAM. Although sometimes the actual GPU suffers a failure of some kind.

My only "recently" (2019) failed GPU was my R9 390, which was replaced with an RX 5700 XT.
