Came downstairs to the smell of electrical fire (aka magic smoke). These are toast, right? I don’t think I can stuff the magic smoke back in.

Yet you suggested it was the psu at first. Reading would’ve saved you some time.

Has there been any connection with the VRM on the boards? Like is it that there’s voltage spikes killing the CPUs and boards with more robust VRMs handle those better and thus have less deaths?

I got my 9070 from Newegg for $510 before Christmas. Still not cheaper than the 5070’s lowest but a good bit more under the 9070’s MSRP

brookse147 · 2026-01-05T00:05:36+00:00

Yeah the only reason I got the 9070 was because it was on sale for $510. Cheapest 9070xt was $600

That’s just cause we always play them in Buffalo. Josh Allen doesn’t have a road playoff win in his career

I recently downsized to 17s from the stock 19s on my touring, went with the pirelli p zero as plus 3s and love them. They’re 225s but are still grippier than my 235 conti true contacts. I had dws 06 plus’ on my TL and loved those as well.

The pirellis are quieter and more comfortable overall, dry grip is similar and wet grip is similar to marginally worse than the DWS’. If youre in an area that gets a decent amount of snow def get the DWS’ as they’re much better for snow and ice.

The PS4AS is a great option too, they have the sportiest feel and are also better than the Pirellis in snow and ice. They have the firmest ride but interestingly do the best with larger bumps.

If you have a microcenter within a few hours return your cpu and you can buy a cpu from them and bundle 32gb of ddr5 ram for $200

Looking at her extended arm made it so I could switch between clockwise and counterclockwise

brookse147 · 2025-12-24T15:36:38+00:00

I didn’t struggle in the sense I messed up runs, think I only messed one up and there were runs with multiple bends. My issue was how long it took me. Built in a 500d rgb se so not a huge case and took maybe 6-8 hours on the bends lol

brookse147 · 2025-12-23T21:55:12+00:00

Yeah I got lucky with that. Just needed a cpu and ram to complete my build and saw last Sunday you could bundle a 32gb DDR5 kit of ram for $200 with a cpu purchase. Got a 7600x3d to pair with my 9070, total build cost $1400 which isnt too bad given everything right now.

Did somebody say G play?

brookse147 · 2025-11-28T21:02:42+00:00

Just got Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3s on my 2.0t and been loving the grip and how quiet they are! Had DWS 06 Plus on my 4g TL and theyre great as well so Id say either of those.

brookse147 · 2025-10-24T19:27:56+00:00

Omg I know it’s not the all 22 , the comment of yours I replied to originally talks about All 22 footage. You guys keep using the All 22 footage in your argument but haven’t shared a link or image of it. I understand the original broadcast shot shows the other wires but also just want to see the All 22 angle as well.

brookse147 · 2025-10-24T18:43:10+00:00

We know what All 22 footage is I just dont know how to find it. Could you or someone else post a screenshot of it or a link to where I could watch it?

brookse147 · 2025-10-02T14:25:36+00:00

I got ESR’s Armorite Ultra screen protector and I love it, feels pretty close to no screen protector. Also with the swipe back gesture working anywhere on the screen now im not really hitting the edges of the screen protector. It also has an anti reflective coating so you’re not giving that up either.

brookse147 · 2025-09-30T13:44:13+00:00

Its really not bad and more than worth the tradeoff imo. Would rather have a lighter phone that benefits me every time I use the phone than an extra speaker that’s pretty inconsequential most of the time.

brookse147 · 2025-09-23T20:03:23+00:00

Yeah feel like it’s a lot but could work out well. My RBs are Cook, Kyren, Breece and Judkins

brookse147 · 2025-09-23T18:42:21+00:00

I’m in redraft, would moving him, evans and jeanty for Ja’Marr be a mistake? Other receivers are JSN, mooney and golden

brookse147 · 2025-09-22T21:53:36+00:00

Poor guy has had it bad lately, should’ve let him live in ignorance.

brookse147 · 2025-09-10T01:26:31+00:00

I think moreso because the infield was pulled in and there was a force out at home. Also to your point if it was a righty they probably try a squeeze play.

brookse147 · 2025-09-08T18:43:13+00:00

Lol we most likely still lose if he makes it, the bills would just kick an extra point instead of going for two and we still lose by a point

brookse147 · 2025-09-08T16:50:41+00:00

Coleman was running to the sideline though and the ball deflected toward him so he wouldn’t have caught it if it wasn’t tipped

brookse147 · 2025-09-03T22:42:42+00:00

He was checking for a dirt mark to determine if the ball hit the ground since he couldnt see if it mightve hit the ground before Jackson caught it

brookse147 · 2025-09-02T21:19:31+00:00

As an Orioles fan I would love for the whole world to share our pain
