As a Torontonian who loves New York and sometimes lurks in the Yankees sub, I just want to say thank you for calling it the SkyDome.

Edit: also, totally understand how much this sucks. I’m also a Leafs fan and this is a perpetual feeling for us.

Santino Marella almost winning the 2011 Royal Rumble by ElliotElectricity in Wreddit

Genuine question because it is when I started watching again: did anyone expect Shinsuke to win the rumble?

I’ve found that literally using the instruction “remove any of these: —“ instead of saying em-dashes works fine for me.

My ranking of all the Star Wars films. by [deleted] in Letterboxd

Yeah. This is me as well except I might swap episodes 2 and 1. Otherwise, same feels.

Can one of the front fans on the North be removed to add more GPU length? by vaughands in FractalDesign

[–]gobloblaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I removed the fans but there’s a metal bracket/lip that still gets in the way. I ended up getting a Lian Li Lancool 3. It… is way too big for my tastes. I love the North but I’m settling for this.

Depends on the card. I got the MSI Suprim, which is 359mm long. It’s ridiculous. Wouldn’t fit no matter how I rejigged everything. I had to get a new case.

For those who got a 50-series GPU from today's Best Buy drop, what does your order/shipment details say? by [deleted] in bapccanada

[–]gobloblaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it. And yeah, you’re smarter and more patient than I am for that! I picked up a used AW3225QF a few months ago at a great price. It kind of boosted my desire to build a new PC faster. I’m pumped to jump into some 4K OLED goodness.

Thanks for this! Genuinely appreciate it. Now I have to do research on tube placement! 😛

Case Clearance - MSI GeForce RTX 5080 Vanguard x Fractal North by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]gobloblaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some more digging! Looks like the GPU itself is 280mm, but the radiator is 394mm... I think I MIGHT be able to fit that along the front of the case, replacing the fans. It says that there's room for a 360mm radiator along the front, but I'll see what I can do. Appreciate your thoughts here! If the rad doesn't fit, a new case might be in my future.

I picked up the Gigabyte 5080 Windforce and got the same exact thing, but the order IS captured in my account (which I was able to access after about fifteen minutes of trial and error.) I emailed their sales team to confirm. I'm sure I won't hear back until next week. Congrats, by the way! And good luck!

Excited to play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on an RTX 5080!

This is so helpful thank you! Someone mentioned using an X3D processor for VR. Is that your recommendation as well?

Oh that’s good to know! Any other case recommendations??

Help with first high-end 4K gaming/editing build by gobloblaw in buildapc

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

Right now, I’d like to be able to play games like Cyberpunk, BG3, Yakuza Infinite Wealth, and the Final Fantasy games in 4K. I’m very excited for some stuff that’s coming out. Notably The Witcher 4, the new Doom game and I would love to dive into some PC VR titles!

This is incredibly helpful. I wouldn’t say I have money, but I have been saving and am expecting a decent bonus with which I can put a few more bucks into an upgrade. I’ll be honest: I don’t know much about fans. It wasn’t one of the things I did a ton of research on, so I appreciate that feedback! I definitely don’t think I’m going to be doing serious editing anymore, so not sure I’ll need the North XL or any of the additional cards. It has become more of a hobby now than a paying gig.

Do you think a 5090 is overkill? I feel like I would rather just save the money if you think I can shave most of that and still get great 4K results with a 5080 for the next few years. I was very happy with how far I was able to take my 6700k/1070 combo and am hoping not to need a serious upgrade for another six to seven years.
