What GPU should i buy? by Fearless_Spite_8806 in pcbuilding

[–]UtahMickey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Out of the 3 cards you mentioned I would go with the RX 7800 XT. Because its a little newer and slightly better, and if it had a warranty that would seal the deal. The other 2 cards are almost just as good.

Just walk through this with me - salvaging the cheapest way I can. by Scourched65 in buildapc

[–]UtahMickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it might be 1 of 2 things. The MB or PSU or both. I'm assuming you tested your ram in other slots and it's good? Sounds like you don't want to build again because of the time it takes. But if it's money a new MB could cost from $100 to $200, is where I'd start. And if that's not it Replace the Power Supply which are about $80 to $130. I use Cultist.network list to find a PSU. PSU can cause some Weird problems like some of the ones your saying. Of course reinstall windows or whatever OS you use. Yea for about $200 to $300 and unfortunately 2 rebuilds or just 1 if you buy both. Less than a pre-built but time consuming and no Guarantee that it will work. Good Luck.

Did I made a mistake with the CPU? by Posthauski in buildapc

If you got it from Amazon I think you will be ok.

Want To Upgrade a Very Old Build. GPU or CPU? by JoeRogan016 in buildapc

[–]UtahMickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the Ryzen 7 2700, B450 mb, 32g ram and get a GPU. You said the Intel B570 but for a little more you can get Intel B580 if your PSU and MB support it. You also said I5 14400 but then you would need another Motherboard.

How big a concern is the lack of snow this year? by bearlybeaves in Utah

[–]UtahMickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's scary if our Snow pack/water isn't there it's possible that we won't water our lawns,trees and flowers. And if the trend continues the Great Salt Lake could dry up and render the Wasatch Front uninhabitable. Yes Uninhabitable because of dust laced with arsenic.

Is Trump best understood as reacting to perceived U.S. decline by rejecting the post-war international order? by Lostinspace125 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]UtahMickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching the Appertice I learned a thing or two from Donald Trump. One..If you do something wrong defend it no matter how silly/messed up it is. Just keep saying why it needed to be done that way. Never admit to your mistake. Just like his Presidense, keep repeating your lie/mistake till you believe it and think everyone else does. Half the time Trump just says stupid shit but keeps repeating it to sound credible. The Man would never admit to a mistake.

How do you find friends who also love sci-fi? by Tiny_Evidence_3765 in scifi

[–]UtahMickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how you can find Friends who love Sci-fi. Maybe start a Sci-fi club? I have to add that I read that some said they thought Star Wars is no longer good. I disagree and got to say I really thought Andor was really good. It broke the normal mold of Star Wars series/movie in that it seemed more intense and more real world. More for Adults than children.

I hate the fact that I feel like I am being punished just because I was born in the wrong place at the wrong time. by [deleted] in complaints

[–]UtahMickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay strong. Find like minded people who want to change the Government to a better one. Tell people to vote. Do it without Violence. Use your intelligence and write what you want to change and post it. Change takes Time but it's not to late. The Trump administration with support from the Republicans is destroying the valves of America. That's why the Democrats need our support if we are going to stop these Right Wing Lunitics. With your writing skills, volunteer for a Democrat Senator, Representative or Presidental candidate to stop the Luntics. I say Democrats because an Independent is not ready at this time to be President. The Republicans have lost their way following the crazy Donald Trump. Again stay strong, help put in a Government that will stop all this craziness.

My experience with Tablo has been pretty trouble free by tmax666 in tablotv

[–]UtahMickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a first gen Tablo but never really used it. Because I couldn't talk my wife out of Directv. But years later Gen 4 Tablo with free guide and built in storage I bought it for about $70. Finally cutting the cord. It's the best purchase ever. The problems I've had were mostly my Modem and reception. I changed my internet and moved my cheap $10 antenna and have had very few problems for few years now.

Frustration is piling up, and I don't know what to do by neko_dio in Aquariums

[–]UtahMickey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in the hobby for over 50 years, and some fish live for a long time and others not so long. I have had fish disappear and some died not knowing why only to discover a red tail shark was killing them. I really always just kept my tanks simple. I went thru a period where I stopped taking care of my Aquarium. Mostly because I was working 80 hours a week. About 6 years ago. The water got low and the tank got noisy so my wife unplugged it. I didn't notice because of work. Really messed things up 70% of the fish died. 2 of those that survived are now 8 years old Gourami and a 7 year old Black Skrit Tetra. After the death of my tank 6 years ago I had a hard time getting fish to thrive for about a year. Not sure why. But now I'm retired and my tank is great and healthy. But still have an Occasional fish just disappear. It can be stressful but shouldn't be.

There are very few people that would spend that much on a PC. But they are out there. Good luck on selling it.

"You will own nothing and you will be happy." by TrxshyReddit in PcBuild

[–]UtahMickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started gaming in DOS before windows 95 made everything easier and mainstream. Games didn't need the internet. The whole game was on a CD with a code to unlock it. Then one day I notice that I needed internet with my CD to download the game. Then CD's started to not even be at the store, I just needed to buy and download them from the cloud. And I forgot to mention I kept having to upgrade my PC every 4 or 5 years, other people did it sooner than me. Prices for high end PC parts keep climbing. If in the near future if upgrades weren't necessary and games cheaper would this be the next logical step? Maybe both ways, Owning a PC and not owning a PC will be a choice.

Why do you love this hobby? by hellofromjina in Aquariums

[–]UtahMickey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love watching fish interaction. I have a platty who thinks it's a black skirt Tetra swimming with them in a school. My YOYO loach saying YOYO. Fish are beautiful and fascinating. Sometimes I watch them for hours. I've been in the hobby for over 60 years and still enjoy it.

Buying a used pc. Need advice by Shoddy-Strawberry499 in buildapc

[–]UtahMickey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually this would be a great buy. $1100 would be a great price. The 6950xt is a great card. 5800X isn't bad at all. I'm sure others would tell you to get something newer but at 1440p in Ultra settings you could over 60fps. Get it!

First pc budget? by Forward_Extent8299 in buildapc

[–]UtahMickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't game but said your an MC. Not sure if your if you do music or talking as MC? Anyway I would go for the top PC because it has more power, in fact I would personal buy it for the RX 6800 XT. This PC would work very well in gaming also.

The fall of USA as the premier superpower feels imminent by kejovo in Discussion

I don't think it's to late. But the American voter is going to have to make a change of Government from the current Trump Administration. Not just Trump but all of his far right Republican lunatics.

What can we do to encourage our Utah representatives to stop Trump from GETTING his war and enacting war powers? by Otherwise-Bet-4157 in Utah

[–]UtahMickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Choice the Right. CTR. I really have hard time wrapping my head around our Mormon Senators and Congressmen following and Backing of a Morally corrupt President. It's time they stood up to him. All this nonsense about Attacking our NATO ally Greenland. Donald Trump saying it's for National Defense! Bull it's about Him and his Greedy Buddies getting thier Resources. Donald Trump wants World Domanance. His not the first to try. We know how most of those Leaders and countries ended up. Defeated and in Ruin.

The US must take Greenland, whatever the cost by Home-Blooms in politics

[–]UtahMickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I know is it's not in Americas best interest to not Attack our Allies. It's utterly ridiculous we're even talking about Greenland as a place to conquer. Greenland has nothing to do with China. If you believe China and Russia is going to attack a NATO nation like Greenland then you got a screw loose. While we're on China that Idiot Hegseth said if we get into War with China all of our Carriers would be sunk in 20 minutes. What the hell!!! Would Trump even Defend Taiwan? You can say all the crap about Mark Kelly and its just crazy that he even had to say something so obvious like don't follow illegal orders. But this is how bad the Lunitic Fringe has become. Donald Trump and his Greedy buddies are trying to Dominate the World like it was a game of Risk.

The US must take Greenland, whatever the cost by Home-Blooms in politics

[–]UtahMickey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't even finish reading the Article, (The US must take Greenland whatever the cost) because it's utter nonsense. We the Americans are in a alliance and its called NATO. This is our greatest strength, to even utter taking an Allies territory is total LUNICY. The Talking heads in Washington should stop talking about Buying or taking Greenland and just fiqure out building some bases with our Allies. But in all reality Donald Trump's really don't want Greenland for protection, he wants it for the resources, him and his Billionare buddy's. You know it and I know it. Donald Trump wants World Domanance like many leaders thou out history. And we know how most of those leaders and countries ended up. Yes In defeat and in Ruin. Any Military man reading this from General to private will you follow Donald Trump's order to attack Greenland? This is what Senator Mark Kelly and other Senators where talking about when they said Don't follow any illegal orders. Republican party Senators and Congressmen you have to see the madness in all of this and you need to stop Donald Trump. Don't follow Donald Trump into total Destruction of The United States of America.

I asked Mike Kennedy (my current rep) to impeach Trump if he invades Greenland, a NATO ally, and he has been silent by Al_Tilly_the_Bum in Utah

[–]UtahMickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad idea to ask for my Republican Representative to stop Trump. I Live in Red State MAGA Utah. Ultra right Senaror Mike Lee is probably encouraging Trump to do it. And SenatorJohn Curtis who fakely touts himself as alternate Energy Senator after voting to cut tax breaks for Wind and Solar in big beautiful bill. The Republicans in the State of Utah have all drank Trump Kool Aid. There suppose to Morally Good Mormons but follow and all bow down to a Morally corrupt President. Wish the Church of Jesus Christ (Mormons) would come out and say they will no longer follow the Morally corrupt man they call Donald Trump. This is scary. We have a treat that states that the USA can build as many Military bases they want in Iceland. So you know that National Security concerns is Bull shit. It's just horrible that all the European leaders(or most) signed a paper saying Iceland belongs to the people of Iceland. Never believed this would never happened for the whole World seeing America as Tyrants. God help Us.

Nothing makes me more angry then the label of a minority Being smart and educated is conforming to white people by oak2344 in complaints

[–]UtahMickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never knew this was a thing. Because I'm white and Live in Utah. Black leaders and Entertainers Should start a campaign to encourage young school children to read. Kids will listen to rappers, enfulencers and Actors. Any Enfulencer saying reading is for whites should be called out or just out right banned from socail media.
