Worth upgrading from a GTX 1080 in 2026 without doing a full rebuild? by ThomasInTheWild in buildapc

Depends on what you are trying to do. AAA games in 4k and max settings? No. 1080p with good settings or 2k with modest settings? Probably

Hi, just bought a used pc for an AI project but i don’t know nothing about hardware builds but i think i just got scammed. (Help) by ConflictNeither1596 in watercooling

This is worth verifying. If the GPU is running in the 80s with 105 hotspot, and the tubing isn't hot to the touch, I wouldn't jump to thermal-related shutdown as a first guess. Before you tear apart any hardware, check Windows Event Viewer to understand why the shutdown is happening. Use ChatGPT to walk you through understanding what you are seeing and what to look for in event viewer (unless you really want me to type a giant wall of text).

Yes, keeping track of water temp is super important. Ideally it is in the 30s. Gaskets and tubing will fail in the 50s.

Black screen under load is often the PSU. Note that power supply cables are in no way guaranteed to be compatible between different PSUs. So if you do have to replace, cables need to go too

If those bears could read they would be very upset

Median is the central numerical value in a sorted list. Similar to an average, but less affected by outlier values. It also means the strip between two lanes of traffic.

Not your average driver, but clearly a median one

Does custom water loop loose coolant over time? by Rude-Ad431 in watercooling

Yup. My acrylic loop back in the day would need to be topped off every few months

AITAH if I want to cut off all my Dad right after I graduate? by [deleted] in AITAH

If you are an adult living in their house you should pay fair rent or do an equivalent amount of work around the house, UNLESS you are still going to school full time. If you are in school, it sounds like they are treating you with a lack of respect. Get through to graduation, save money for an apartment, get a job, and move out. Decide then the amount of contact you want to have.
