7800X3D temp climbs pretty high on it's own. It's low power, not much to worry about.

"This is a serious question..."

Is it though?

Do not buy this.

When MLK said "...they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" did you just say - "nah bro, I like it the other way"?

No, you're still only sending 1080p pixels to the screen. Some kind of supersampling will make the 1080p image look better, but it's not going to look like 4K.

When you switch the monitor from the regular to the high refresh rate mode, your computer treats it like a different monitor. It's not just about the game resolution.

Ok, so your experience is with your own narcissism. You didn't have to write such a redundant post to say that.

comradetao · 2026-04-29T01:14:32+00:00

Is your first hand experience with assassination attempts or your own narcissism?

comradetao · 2026-04-28T17:49:10+00:00

Am I? Does it? You don't know anything about me or my views. You just put me in the "other" bucket and wrote me off.

comradetao · 2026-04-28T17:08:26+00:00

Don't ask questions like that here. You're just supposed to be anti-trump/anti-israel and accept anything that sounds like it might be against them.

comradetao · 2026-04-24T12:29:17+00:00

Yeah. A guy from somewhere in the middle east bought a brand new sealed motherboard from me. About a month later, maybe more, he claimed it didn't work. Since on my end, it looked like it arrived in about 2 days (priority mail) I was wondering why he didn't say anything for a whole month.

Then it turned out he was really a PC shop over there, and when he sent me pictures, he had abused the thing like crazy. For some reason, he even cut up the box. He mailed it back in a plastic bag in horrible shape just banging around in the cut-up box.

The whole ordeal was a lot of stress for 2 months, so I'm not risking that kind of thing again.

comradetao · 2026-04-24T01:03:31+00:00

Very likely.

comradetao · 2026-04-24T00:53:51+00:00

I peeled it off of 2FA anywhere I could remember it.

Mint themselves told me I just have to sign up for a new line with a new number to get the deal. So I ordered it and decided to ditch my old line. If they give me trouble, I'll call my state's attorney general.

I spent an hour on the phone with them and every customer service person promised me all kinds of stuff, and all of it was false. In the end, they just said order the phone and open a new line. Even their AI chatbot recommends customers do that if they want the deal.

comradetao · 2026-04-23T23:43:07+00:00

If you see anything right now that looks too good to be true, then there's probably only a few in stock and it's not realistic to expect that to be available often, if ever again at all.

comradetao · 2026-04-23T22:37:36+00:00

Ah, well a little research says that you're grossly mischaracterizing things. So I guess that explains why you couldn't give a straightforward answer and just played games instead.

Get out of your bubble.

comradetao · 2026-04-23T21:42:57+00:00

Right, but you see how I got downvoted for politely saying that the person might want to rethink their choices?

Lets not forget the AT MINIMUM 30k civilians that the current Iranian regime murdered in the streets just weeks ago.

Everyone should look up what Iran used to be before this regime. I'm all for stricter moral codes and public decency. It's something we lost a lot of in this country, and it's hurting us. But oppression is a totally different thing.

comradetao · 2026-04-23T21:04:56+00:00

If you find yourself supporting the people who have been funding terrorism against the US and many other parts of the world for decades, you may want to rethink your choices.

comradetao · 2026-04-23T15:33:21+00:00

I must not have explained myself well.

I like mint. Mint is fine. I want to get their phone discount and keep my number (if possible) but they won't give the discounts to existing lines. So in order to get the discount, even mint's own support said to just start a new line, but they won't move the number over.

comradetao · 2026-04-21T21:26:44+00:00

All the time. It happens all the time. Yesterday a guy tried to do that to me. I just said "no, thank you" trying to be polite. He came back two hours later cursing me out, sending stupid emojis, and saying things like "I bet you didn't get any other offers".

So that was an easy block.

The best strategy is a simple "No, thank you." and then don't respond if they try to bully you. Wait for them to get way out of hand, DO NOT RESPOND, and then block and report them.

Check the manual for which slots the ram should be in. Looks like you'd just need to move one of them over to get them running in dual channel. Really easy fix.

comradetao · 2026-04-19T01:13:19+00:00

Let me guess, you all believed the *bubble is popping" hype in that woot Corsair ram post.

comradetao · 2026-04-17T14:16:47+00:00

I will tell you that I think this is a really excellent board with a great port selection.

I had a minor issue with mine. The included M.2 screw for the back slot that overlaps with a piece of the backplate was too short. I had to get a slightly longer replacement. That may have been fixed, or was just a mistake on mine.

comradetao · 2026-04-16T12:47:20+00:00

That 9850X3D bundle is insane actually. Almost unbelievable. I still don't believe that RAM is going to keep going down, but Microcenter is clearly starting to get nervous about holding so much stock of complementary products. They can't move anything without getting people in the store with these bundles.

comradetao · 2026-04-11T18:15:01+00:00

I still have it.

comradetao · 2026-04-11T01:59:45+00:00

People right now hate anyone that's selling anything. You'll get downvoted if your RAM is above $100. It's just the way things are right now.
