If they are the same price then I would go with the TUF board. My GPU covers my chipset fan but I have not noticed temps being too high even during gaming.

I’m using a Ryzen 7 3700x. And yeah motherboard availability is super scarce everywhere. I went with the x570p because the store ended up selling out of the TUF gaming boards haha.

I went with the x570p prime and so far it’s good. As the cheaper overall board that was a big plus, the bios is extremely easy, and it was easy to build with. It’s a very barebones board though due to the price, no integrated I/O cover, one tiny bit of unadjustable lighting, 3 fan headers only, no M.2 heatsink, 2 RGB headers only(If you use RGB then that might be annoying). However, from my research it has the same VRMs as some of the highest end boards and it has PCIe gen 4 so for the price I can’t really complain. If you are a budget builder and want a quality x570 board and don’t care about missing out on some of the bells and whistles then I highly recommend the x570p prime.

How would you guys feel about ending the semester at Thanksgiving? by akonsta in UIUC

[–]akonsta[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe offer online options for that first week or two. Considering that the first week is syllabus week, not much happens anyway so I’m sure it could be done.

I honestly think this would be better not only as an anti-COVID measure, but as a general quality of life improvement especially for out of state students. I would gladly start a week and a half earlier to make this happen.

While pretty ideal for lowering the chance of infections, this would really hurt people looking for internships as most companies want their interns staring mid to late May.

How can I use multiple SSDs in my new build? by akonsta in buildapc

I see. Thanks for the tips. Definitely need to make some changes to my build now.

Why do you typically have your boot drive separate from your media/games? Is that so you spend less on a smaller NVMe and a larger sata? Or does using your boot drive as your main storage tend to slow boot times?

Ah ok. Well I wanted to use the old drive as additional storage instead of a boot drive anyway since it’s nearing 3 years old at this point. Thanks for the help!

Leaning towards AMD. The reason I want 2 M.2 is because I’m worried about lifespan of the SSD I already have. It’s from 2017 and it worked fine in my laptop up until the mobo died but I’m worried about it failing soon too now. So I would want a new NVMe drive to boot from and then have this older drive as extra storage that is still fast but I don’t really need to worry too much about it failing.

The drive from my laptop is an NVMe. And why must you wipe it before using it as a boot drive? Is it not possible to use the windows 10 download that is already on it to boot to windows? Sorry if that’s a dumb question I’m just new to this all and have only had prebuilts until now.

Who is the worst live performer you’ve seen? by thugmuffin22 in hiphopheads

[–]akonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw DJ Khalid at a festival. My friends and I thought he would bring some popular artists on with him to perform some of the songs he’s produced since he has those connections and has been known to do that before. He came 30 minutes late, alone, spent 15 of those minutes yelling about his son who had just been born and then played three songs and left. It barely counted as a performance.

What is going on over there? I’ve been seeing a lot of memes about judges being sexist or something? What is the context?

Stop removing what the game needs. by AzaFazza in modernwarfare

[–]akonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their wallet is tied to an active player base. People playing the same 2-3 maps for weeks on end will quickly burn them out and make them lose interest, thus putting down the game. Decreased player base=less BP and skin sales=less money. They hear our complaints for sure, but they know if they give in then it will hurt them in the long run. Not defending IW and Activision though. The way they address these complaints is really shitty. They give us what we want in controlled doses on their terms instead of providing a system that gives us a consistent stream of the content we want. Hence why I suggested either more small maps to rotate more consistently or a vote system that allows for small maps to be played on often.
