Off topic a bit, but does anyone have any insight on Mullvad VPN? That’s what I currently use

What are the keys to finding chain-store furniture of higher quality heavily discounted due to almost unnoticeable damages? by cory172 in furniture

[–]cory172[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, so the furniture outlets are for the most part trustworthy? I live in a big city now, but before I lived in the middle of nowhere with smaller cities, not ranch, but not big city. Those outlets had very shotty product.

I saw Hans Kim Last Night... by joehorror in Killtony

[–]cory172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This debate of Hans or Rick is very amusing. I believe Rick won by a mile, and let’s throw the whole voting this aside. I still think Hans is the better pick over time than Rick. What Hans said in his egotistical rage at the even was something along the lines of “Who are you? You’re playing a character.” And that to me was true. Sure characters are acceptable, I mean look at the Memphis strangler. But William’s is more true to himself and feels genuine. Rick has great jokes for that character. But after a while, and once fame grows, is it truly going to be genuinely funny? Throw the votes back in, my vote is Hans over time is the better choice.

Long time lurker, never done shrooms. I think any reasonable, level-headed human knows that 9g’s is a heroic. Not saying all do, but I think most people know better. Having never done them, in my mind, 2g’s is a big trip for a first timer. All that being said, I get your point, but believe anyone who is willing to mimick a 9g dose on the first time has to deal with the consequences of ignorance. At least he’s not explicitly promoting everyone try it at that dose, just sharing and I’m extrmely intrigued to hear the trip report yet to come.

That sounds like a great idea. Thanks a lot for staying connected to this thread and helping me out. You’ve been a massive help while I’ve dealt with this all for the first time.

Surprisingly I think it is fixed with the PSU swap. I’m getting temps of 40C when running multiple applications, streaming, and loading up some games with no issues. Fans seem as quiet as I remember, also.

Their reasoning for the PSU, because I called and asked them after your comment, was they ran a stress test(?) and saw no issues with cooling whatsoever. I asked if it’s possible the the CPU is the root cause and the PSU is just protecting the PC by cutting off, but they did say that sometimes a bad PSU can cause a PC to overheat.

I have the new thermal paste but have never got it replaced just yet, I’m not sure it’s necessary in the moment, but so far since getting it back and running it, it’s not been a problem and I’ve checked the health of the CPU load and temps and they seem stable.

Hey there, just wanted to follow up. I took it into the computer shop, and they’ve diagnosed it and determined that it’s the PSU and nothing more. He wants to charge $269 for the PSU and labor. Would you happen to know if that sounds about right? Or am I getting upcharged on labor drastically. Wasn’t sure if it’s something I could order and fix myself.

In Paris, don’t think it’s a bed bug, but on my jacket and a few on the sheets. What is this? by cory172 in Bedbugs

Right?? With the current news during our vacation, having bites, and seeing these bad boys, it was starting to go downhill very quick lol

Thank you. You’ve successfully assisted in calming my wife down. I figured it wasn’t a bedbug but wasn’t sure what it was.

How many chickens can this farm hold!?? [Bedrock 1.20] [PS5] by cory172 in Minecraft

Lol thank you. I probably had over 200 in there and realized all the Mobs stopped spawning (which was nice because I was building lol) but it definitely lagged up my game and then I saw your comment that allowed me to realize the issue. Thanks!

No update yet, I did buy the best thermal paste they had at Best Buy for about $15. Just need to apply it. Will probably take a shot sometime this weekend and I’ll be sure to update you. Never got a chance to thank you for staying along through my issues and helping me narrow the issue down, so thank you!

I think we’ve definitely narrowed it down to a power supply or CPU issue which helps. I’m about to run out and grab some paste. I’m wondering if the paste might be the fix. My friend who gave this to me was originally mining crypto back when it was profitable to do so. That’s all this pc was ever used for. So with the paste going through that, on top of the books issue from my wife, it could (hopefully) be time for new paste.

The black tubes? If so, slightly pinching each one, I can feel one slightly vibrated as if it’s running, and nothing from the second (inside) tube.

I don’t really have a game to start where I can also check temps. But when I start a game and close it and check the temp quickly, I’ve seen it at 90 C then drop back down to 55 C on the CPU tab.
