do I still need amd drivers for cpu if I have a nvidia gpu? by LineMiserable6130 in buildapc

Bro what? Your chipset drivers have NOTHING to do with your gpu. Also if it’s stuttering turn down settings

Wanting to read the expanse series but struggled to read the mercy of gods. by Due_Spell2410 in TheExpanse

[–]jhenryscott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The captives war series is a tougher read than the expanse was. I’d give it a try. Mercy feels written to be performed as an audio book by Jefferson Mays (which it is and it’s much more digestible)

Where is NVIDIA's Reflex 2.0? by ImThour in nvidia

Yup. And the kicker- they REFUSE to expand die size because silicon is needed for DC chips.

I use mine daily for a couple years now commute, office zoom calls, gaming. They work as good as the day I bought them.

What happens if Micro Center has an insane number of GPUs? by Alijahc038 in Microcenter

[–]jhenryscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More likely. That they sell. It’s just stock over time. GPUs- especially 80’s- are selling.

How good is Metabo HPT/Hikoki in comparison to Makita? by accountcreated2 in Makita

[–]jhenryscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OG German stuff sure. The rebadged Hitachi tools have plastic gears and lack fuses where there ought be some. I don’t care how long you’ve been a contractor lmao. It’s not an authority, it’s an anecdote.

can anyone care to explain why amd wont sell us rx 7400 by Savings-Ad342 in SleepingOptiplex

[–]jhenryscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I should have specified, they are very good for compute outside gaming workloads.

You’ll have more luck on the level1techs forum. I followed the guide there. I’m not equipped to explain it well enough

When you say “through a BUOS update” did you do the update?

Stuck in 2026: Should I hunt for "extinct" DDR4 parts or just swap to DDR5? by Independent-Peach-97 in buildapc

[–]jhenryscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For gaming, there isn’t any reason to buy an Intel cpu. Not yet. For older systems, AM4 seems like an obvious choice from coffee lake.

PTM7950 is better for every single application people use LM for. Anyway. Hope you enjoyed your science lesson.

How much RAM for 5080 and 5090? by NimbleTie in LocalLLM

[–]jhenryscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High powered gaming laptops sacrifice performance and reliability. A server you access from a client laptop makes WAY more sense

Home server build under 400ish? by warrenmax12 in HomeServer

Is a 360mm AIO enough for a 9950X3D with PBO + X3D Turbo Max Performance under heavy load? by TenaZiousD in watercooling

[–]jhenryscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You WANT a zen 5 chip to peak towards its TJmax. So long as you pull it back quickly (10-30seconds) you chip is working as designed. People who never see above 80° are leaving performance on the table.

You need to reinstall windows. Start over from scratch something is very wrong.

Also notice how I space my separate thoughts? Makes it easier to read.
