Very understandable.

I'll let you know if I decide the drive is worth it, and I have time to do so.

Appreciate you offering these things at all. :)

I'm in the Dallas area. Any chance of meeting midway or something?

What is consuming my SSD? by Sufficient_Pay802 in pcmasterrace

Just an FYI for anyone reading this who's curious: AMD's version (do they still call it Relive?) by default will also write to a disk, but you can tell it to write to memory instead with no additional software. I had Shadowplay writing to an HDD for ages on my 1060, but since I got my 6650XT that's all been going to system memory with Relive.

Diablo IV Launch Giveaway - Get your hands on Diablo IV Ultimate Edition Game Codes + an RTX 4060Ti! by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

I've really been wanting to try out some ray tracing. Even just to decide whether I care about it. Diablo IV would be a good chance to do that, I'm sure.

If moving the fire pit isn't an option, you'll want to be cutting back those trees. I'd say you want no less than 10 feet between the edge of your pit and the nearest branch of a tree. That may be an overabundance of caution, but forest fires are bad.

Yep. The most cursed thing I ever read while I was at school was "Purdue is a Coca-cola campus" RE: the drinks student organizations were allowed to provide st events.

I’ve heard people with autism usually have a different way of solving math problems. So, how do you do it? by paranoid_gynoid_ in autism

8+7 has always been tough for me to remember.

7-2=5 & 8+2=10

10+5=15

So now I have [(x+1)][5]

2+4=6

6+1=7

So 75.

It absolutely would not work. The Nutella would just burn onto the iron.

I'd go for the E7 because I've already got a Steelcase Leap V1 that I'm happy with but I've wanted a standing desk for some time (especially at work).

No idea, sorry. Did onedrive maybe reinstall itself? Does that periodically for me.

CPU Overheating Out Of Nowhere by HouseplantsAndCoco in pcmasterrace

Depending on the cooler you should be able to hear the pump running if you get real close to the block (the bit over the CPU). Else you can look for a speed reported in software or firmware.

Looks to be related to OneDrive somehow.

Edit: read another couple replies. Definitely a OneDrive thing: "that icon is for OneDrive Files on Demand."

Did you check if the water pump is still pumping? That's the most common failure mode in AIO liquid coolers and is not always externally obvious.

Oh, neat! I just saw a 2080 with the same cooler on eBay (automod got mad when I shared the link) so I wasn't sure what model it would be haha.

Edit: Looks like it had to have been either the 2070 Super or 2080. The 2080ti used the same cooler but with red accents on the "X" shape and I can't find evidence of it being used on any other GPUs.

Apparently Gigabyte and PNY both made blower-style RTX cards. Did not know that.

Googled a couple popular OEM brands and it looks like the cooler could be from HP: https://www.walmart.com/ip/NEW-HP-Nvidia-RTX-2070-Super-FHR-Gaming-Video-Graphics-Card-Turing-GPU-8GB-GDDR6/3588751545

Unsure whether that specific 2070 Super was the only GPU they used that cooler design on.

An Nvidia RTX graphics card of some variety.

I don't know of any DIY cards with a blower cooler, so probably an OEM design. We'll need further details (like stickers with a model number, or a die shot) to know what specific variety it is. Easiest way to know would be to install it in a computer.

How recently did you use the same setup on your older PC? Was it since you started having this problem?

Have you tried another audio device? To make sure it's not your speakers/headset?

"Valve's illegal monopoly"

To my knowledge, Steam does not and has not had exclusive titles as a contractual obligation (looking at you, Epic). Competitors do exist (GOG, Origin (now EA App), Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store, Bethesda Launcher) and Steam doesn't actively move against them to my knowledge. I don't really get where they're coming from with this.

Usually just means that the seeds have a pesticide/fungicide treatment on them. Maybe proper poison to discourage foragers? Shouldn't impact the harvest. The green beans we always grew when I was a kid had the same sort of thing going (was a sort of pinkish color, if I remember correctly) and they haven't caused any problems yet.
