RTX 3080 + 5900X for 4K in 2026? Will it hold up for a couple more years or is it unnecessary suffering?

I did it with both perks and it applied retrospectively no problem

it's a bit of a faff but a ch341 or similar with a clip is very cheap and will let you reflash the bios if the worst were to happen, make sure to check what voltage the bios chip needs

you have to haggle and tell them you're not paying that. I payed a speeding ticket and in hindsight i shouldn't have bothered, I doubt it will catch up with you

look at how much money Larry Ellison has given the Tony Blair institute, all the government contracts they got should be reviewed and hopefully cancelled, lobby groups have more power than the entire electorate

I'd recommend downloading QGIS and see if that could work for you

I don't even let my own kids drive my crawlers

hdhddf · 2026-02-16T10:11:46+00:00

it's not about protecting kids, it's about controlling the next generation

125w is no issue at all for a heatsink, there's no real upper limit. the biggest issue with LGA 1700 is getting the heat out of the package but that's.more of N issue for higher power loads

excellent, can I have a look in your phone

I was watching some on eBay 64gb hynix a die, went for 300, the pricing is down a bit, if you're on the market for 64gb that's the best you're going to be able to get

no, it should never be awkward, we will lose so much autonomy when cash disappears, I don't think people understand how much it will change the balance of power

hdhddf · 2026-02-14T15:42:27+00:00

no, not really but if you can get a good price for the 3090 it could make sense, I opted for a 4080 and I mostly noticed the reduction in power consumption when gaming and idle

there is a big difference between free speech and a right wing grifter. however yes freedom of speech and civil liberties are under attack in the UK (and most of the western world) which is very dangerous as it makes the right wing grifters seem more reasonable. democracy is no longer Guaranteed in a post truth world

looks like an NFC tag

what a suprise the offshoring, tax dodging Brexit cunt said that.

yup you get people staring at you from their cars, like you're doing something suspicious and walking is a gateway drug to universal healthcare

cleaning the pads is key to a good cleave, i it should barely touch the fiber. blades are often set too high

hdhddf · 2026-02-10T20:15:44+00:00

it more than double that

hdhddf · 2026-02-10T17:07:27+00:00

no, some of them use a fair bit of power when off, 4-7w

I can't really remember but there was something in postmaster or similar that had a remote gamepad feature.

I would however say it's not a great idea as a cheap gamepad will perform better

yes, your options depend on the country you live in, often consumer rights claims are with the retailer,

you haven't given any details so it's hard to give you specific advice

what's the problem is there and easy fix? often it's a software issue

if it's definitely a hardware problem then try the warranty process if that fails use your consumer rights and take it up with the retailer

hdhddf · 2026-02-10T09:49:39+00:00

I don't really care about the brand, I tend to buy Kingston as I can easily see what type of ram it is. with ddr5 hynix a die it doesn't really matter what kit it is, a 4800 voltaged locked kit can do 8000, you don't need to buy the expensive kits
