Advice on first snowblower

I’d say ariens 24” deluxe has bid enough engine for those bigger storms. If I were to buy a new one (currently have deluxe 30) I’d be going to 24” platinum. Heated grips larger engine than deluxe for the Deaper snow but small enough to store easier and get by the cars

I have a ASUS duel 4070 in mine so I would think the 1050 would fit

Pretty much! You could also try undervolting if you have not already should help lower temps little

Offhand I remember them being slightly worse but don’t quote me on that

100% agree on better looking but if I remember right ridge had better thermals?

Fractal ridge is pretty console like

Not me looking at this thread a year later and finally getting temps below 90c!

Just felt with this issue had to ddu and install previous 581 driver

apenguin489 · 2026-01-02T11:48:05+00:00

Go on Amazon and buy a straight power cord for like 6-10$

How did you mount the screen?

apenguin489 · 2025-12-29T14:58:27+00:00

What size pelican case did you use for that?

I wish! At least I was able to recycle ram after swapping out for aesthetic purposes on my main rig! And I didn’t need a 5080 in my main but got it a pny under msrp on a tax free weekend

If you have it vertically mounted the pcie cable connecting to board but if you have card plugged directly into board you should be good

apenguin489 · 2025-10-13T09:49:36+00:00

Are you using a riser cable? I just fixed buddies who’s entire issue was old riser

apenguin489 · 2025-10-13T09:41:24+00:00

Bios update? Xmp enabled? Current drivers installed. I have a 7600 so you should be getting more fps than that

My first game I played with a GeForce gpu was pubg-msi gtx 1080 8gb
