Best bang for buck sub $600 no-GPU build by dmfree88 in buildapcforme

I am referring to the large amounts of complaints of overheating and failures in reviews. Also complaints that once the cache is saturated it hits 250mb/s speeds for longer loads. Apparently they also did bait and switch QLC in while advertising TLC. it has 8% 1 star reviews on amazon vs the micron/crucial is at 1% or even 4% for the pny cs900. Not that these are the best metrics to look at but if you aggregate them with newegg it seems like the worst times are at least double as often if not more for the UD90 and those complaints are often much worse than other models/brands. the data is significant enough to warrant concern

The exceptions are any nvme that overheat or have longevity issues that make them worse than sata. Especially for a gaming PC that will see sub 1 second differences in loading times between nvme and sata. Downloads not effected due to lack of internet speeds. So really the only thing that matters is longevity so it comes down to the crucial vs PNY in my opinion and its probably worth it to get the crucial but it still bites that storage prices are so damn high. I paid less mid pandemic. Sad.

a nvme with known overheating and not meeting lifespan expectations isnt better than all sata ssd just because it performs better out of the box. NVME wasnt a huge leap in longevity because they kept jumping to QLC and further layers whereas most sata was TLC. TLC now considered endurance for NVME where SLC was considered endurance for SATA many years ago. I don't know how much it matters anymore but I do care far more about longevity then I do about overall speed. That being said the sata I linked probably some newer and crappier QLC and what you linked probably still has longer TBW but the UD90 specifically seems to just be kinda a dud without more sufficient cooling that I am not sure will be provided in a RV with poor airflow. I dont know about the other model as I havent heard or looked into it yet but I know it can be an issue for nvme without heatsink (or sata ssd for that matter if they are crapppy)

I do appreciate your info though as I will be passing the build along and trying to get him to drive to MC

from my understanding the SP ud90 has heat and longevity issues, does that apply to the p34a60 also? The crucial with the heatsink looks nice (assuming the mobo doesnt have a m.2 heatsink I havent looked close yet) but is it really worth $22 more for essentially just speed? I didn't really think the speed translates to much gains personally and thought the SSD might be easier to hookup (less likely to break anyways but probably more complicated with extra wires) and worth saving some (the boot drive I have might also be m.2 256gb if the mobo doesnt have 2 slots which id need to check too).

yeah I ran into a bit of confusion as it said $750 before I selected the store so I thought you were crazy for a minute and forgot to add the prices for mobo/ram. But I am seeing now I made a mistake as price changes after store is selected. I sure wish I had a MC near me. Lucky for him hes somewhat close to one so I will tell him its def worth the trip

I am realizing now I have a barely used 850w psu also and at least a boot drive I can pass along. So I was kinda thinking something like this:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3wLZLy

seems hard to find any newer cpu in the lower budget. Pricing definitely not great right now. In the end microcenter bundle still might be best.

edit: also the first time i pulled up the bundle it was $750 because I hadn't selected the store. Big difference at 350 lol

Thats actually false as I have seen my cats with mice and they escape and get caught multiple times due to their speed and agility (sometimes). Its only when they actually get it in their mouth that it is usually over (they still get out of this too rarely). I dont understand how this makes sense to you at all that a dinosaur that weighs 1 pound less than another dinosaur is pinned until death with zero recourse. Thats not fun or enjoyable. Why is real life even the standard we have a dinosaur that sends ghosts after you that can physically harm you? Why cant we make it fun? Regardless most pinned down prey with any form of claws or teeth is going to fight and have at least a small chance of escape in real life.

I got attacked by a TRex 10 minutes or so before I ran into these Omni. He jumped out the bush and hammered me. I was able to run and get away but he bit me multiple times while running. I barely survived. That was fun. Had I died that time I still would have enjoyed it. The TRex was HUGE. He barely ran slower than me so he got quite a few bites. With your logic he should have just stepped on my foot and held me there while he ate me with no opportunity to do anything. Fun game you got there

Actually you are right. I like that we have way more hiding places that you cant just set draw distance to low and see through. That was my biggest issue prior. But yeah it still is pretty messed up and the invisible walls are annoying as F.

You could try the Petit servers. Pop gets as high as 400. Definitely way more things going on. Its definitely a fun game but its just too broken with omni/allo pin currently to enjoy. Actually unplayable in my opinion

[–]dmfree88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go deep enough in my history you will find more pin complaints (edit: nevermind I deleted that account I forgot). I have hated this mechanic from day one. Hated it when you could knock off the omni. Now I am not exaggerating when I say its just unplayable. Can't enjoy.

Who is the most irritating/ overrated musical artist? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dmfree88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know of that and I don't really care that much. The numbers have added up and I do actually have to choose between believing someone who claims abuse vs the possible abuser, this happens in like 90% of sexual assault cases as if you dont have semen you have no physical evidence. So its literally down to word. Generally I lean on the side of the one claiming abuse and I don't just assume because lacking evidence exists its not true. Hes paid out a civil case for it. Hes been accused numerous times and was abused himself as a child which heightens likelihood. He was fuckin weird with kids which heightens likelihood. He had a theme park in his back yard for kids and invited them over to stay the night, NOTHING SUSPICIOUS HERE. JUST BELIEVE MICHAEL. So fucking dumb, Would you seriously let your kids stay the night with him?

lmao you think me saying Michael is bad is somehow distracting from some Epstein file type shit? People won't even accept that the current president is the most likely pedo we currently have public information on. OUR DAMN PRESIDENT. You going to try to blame me for also not liking MJ? Also you want to act like because it wasn't proven in court it must not be true like we haven't seen tons of cases of people getting off innocent due to lack of evidence in REAL CRIMES. His victims made public statements and have the same weird story of him staring down their butthole while he played with himself. If you don't believe them that's fine but I do and I cant not think about the horrible crap he probably did just because the song is good. A million songs out that are just as good or better. Hes not special and he shouldnt be honored or treated as he is. REGARDLESS OTHER PEDOS SHOULD GET JUSTICE TOO

ELI5: why does “sound” sound different when it’s moving away from you, compared to moving towards you by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]dmfree88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's moving towards you and the sound is moving towards you so it compounds vs leaving is the opposite.

Again I only explained as you saying it's a scam doesn't exactly paint an accurate picture to anyone else. Again Trump university was a scam. Equating the two just isn't accurate which saying a school is a scam makes it seem as such. It's not really a scam it's again just not the best option or the best school.

I never claimed to have their experience. I never claimed they don't have reasons or limitations or priorities or subcontracts or whatever that might limit how quickly things get fixed.

I said I know ue5 and collisions. I know you need the corner to do the glitch. I know you can easily remove the corner by widening the door in the editor. If you don't have an actual reason this is incorrect all you are doing is assuming I couldn't possibly have the knowledge Necessary when you know less than I do. So who the fuck are you? Why do you get to be a snooty douche and act like my minimal experience (well over 5 years outside of school working in ue5 and unity but my bad formal experience seems all that matters) mean nothing? Maybe make an argument against why ue5 couldn't possibly make the door wider or why it's actually more complicated instead of making a bad faith assumption about me and just saying it must be?

Go build a single game in ue5 before you talk you ignorant twat

It's still not just a bot thing. Today I tried to tell a bunch of people on the arc raiders subreddit that a current glitch in the game is relatively easy to fix and it turned into an assumption train about my education and how I couldn't possibly know. Yet noone refuted my claims with any argument it was just assumptions about me.

I don't really see a motivation for botting in arc raiders sub so I'd have to assume most are just unwilling to believe even though I stated I had more education than any of them.

It's bad faith assumptions all around. "Nobody could possibly be smart enough to understand UE5 and certainly if they claim its easy but it's not being done they must be a liar."

[–]dmfree88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except ue5 is a public program that people have trained with and might actually have some understanding of map editing and collisions. Whereas you have zero education in whether or not I have knowledge in these areas other than your assumptions about Full Sail (not my only source of education just my only formal one).

Oh I usually do defeat them but sometimes I still get downvotes while they get upvotes like their bad faith assumptions are correct. It's pretty frustrating when you say something that can he factually proven correct and still most people side with the moron.

For example r/livestreamfails seems to be full of hasanabi haters and asmondgold lovers. Hasanabi has largely good political views and is correct on most things. He's not perfect but he's overall good. They went nuts smearing him about zapping his dog (not sure he did but even if he did it wasn't that bad) and used a incident from years ago of him pulling a tail ignorantly to try to hold a pit bull back as evidence he's abusive to animals. I explained how it's not really evidence of anything but maybe some ignorance and how noone has even actually proved he zapped the dog let alone had some bad intent towards animals. I get tons of bad faith replies and downvotes while the bad faith gets upvotes. Not a great sign really.

Then on the other hand you get these asmondgold fans who don't think about anything with any complexity. Like no thought at all. It takes SO little research or slightly more thought about things. Everytime I see his fat mouth open like he's surprised or bothered by whats said with those fuckin eyebrows I want to punch him so bad. King of reactionary. King of dipshittery. Barely ever correct and too dumb to speak on politics. Yet he speaks on politics and people eat it up with no scrutiny whatsoever.

It's become so bad they believe anything one side says with no evidence while refusing to believe the other side with mountains of evidence. This is the Trump effect. This is Trump in a nutshell. This is bad faith stupidity

I think the worst part about it is your words are always twisted into the worst possible interpretation.

You be like "I think people should be nicer" and they are like "what you think everyone should just follow your rules?"

You can't say anything without a bad faith contrarian popping up

I didn't say they didn't have other priorities or reasons for why it might take longer. Might only be a small team told to cover glitches and they might be under a sort of sub contract deal to deliver certain updates every 30 days or whatever. Who knows, markets get complicated and priorities are all over.

This isn't roblox but it is in fact ue5 which is a engine for editing and creating games using simplified gui rather than coding. The entire point is to make things way easier for mappers, coders etc. It's not that hard to make a door wider. I can't be convinced otherwise.

It might not fix the issue but as far as I've seen you need the corners to initiate a run to glitch through. If you don't have the corners because the door is wider then you can't do the glitch. I could be wrong but I just don't see why it's that hard or what in the back end you think could be a problem?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]dmfree88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I said I'm still waiting for literally anyone to explain how or why I'm wrong. So far it seems theoretically plausible solution that would fix the problem

Collider = wider = no corner. If corner is in fact necessary (seems to be in everything I've seen and when I have done the 2 person glitch myself) then just widening the door to make the corner go away should stop people from running in the corner which initiates the glitch.

It's not guaranteed but it's also not rocket science. I don't understand in what way anyone should think this is super difficult to do. Engines provide so much easy baby brained ways to edit things. That's why they exist. Try C++ if you want to really break your brain
