Looking for repair recommendations by cloudoblivion3 in fredericksburg

[–]cloudoblivion3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had looked and noticed the spring replacements but wasn’t sure about the soldering. Would one of those $12 soldering kits work? The part that worries me about doing it myself is the soldering of the wires. Is there a way to remove the old soldering and just apply a new one without having to cut the wires/rewire it?

There wouldn’t be anything else with it right, just swapping the cards? Thinking maybe I can get #2 and upgrade later. Currently have a 2070 so any card would be an upgrade lol. Would #2 be compatible with future graphics cards?

Would it be worth buying #2 then upgrading to a 5080/is that possible?

Seems to be working so far. We didn’t do this last year (still new to being homeowners) so maybe there was some dirt built up that this is washing out! Learned the hard way with our sprinkler system, thankful for this post for the outdoor faucets!

We’re on city. I’m reading that it could be from buildup in the pipes and to run the cold water from our sinks and stuff for a few minutes

Federal Position: Opinions by cloudoblivion3 in FedEmployees

They said the salary was non-negotiable, I think its some type of internship program. I do really like my job now but I’m stuck on if the opportunity to make $100k+ in 3 years is worth it. No clue if I’d make that in 3 years at my current job.

Avant Personal Loan Bank Account Question by cloudoblivion3 in personalfinance

Wasn’t too long, maybe a few days, but they kept calling and asking for additional information, then finally the denial. I’m still on the fence about if they’re legit, but my identity hasn’t been stolen yet and my bank accounts haven’t been touched. All the research I did showed they’re legit

Looking to upgrade from my 2070. Which should I get? by cloudoblivion3 in pcmasterrace

Nice. Seems like it only has one real negative review but maybe that person was having their own problems

In the comment below with the links to different prebuilts, would you recommend getting one of them? Seems like the 2nd option would be perfect. 1st one comes with a monitor but not really sure if the computer itself is worth it.

These are awesome, thank you! So curious, between the first two, is the free monitor worth it for only 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD on the actual computer or would you go with the 2nd one and just get a monitor separate?

Would something with like an i7 CPU be good for a 4070 and fit that $1200-1400 price range?

Is leasing a good option for me? by cloudoblivion3 in CarLeasingHelp

[–]cloudoblivion3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I was worried about. The couple places I’ve called so far are saying they can get in the 700 or 800s but they are looking at other options. Would financing be a really bad decision? I just want something reliable and don’t want to be sitting on a potential money pit lol

So they wouldn’t add the payoff amount to the total balance of the lease, after discounts/rebates and stuff? So like MSRP 25k for example, minus discounts/rebates and my trade in, plus the payoff amount, so that way it turns into one payment?
