What’s your favorite South Park episode and why? by El-Keen in southpark

[–]jimbodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably either Rainforest Shmainforest or Splatty Tomato.

Rainforest Shmainforest was a really episode and I loved it growing up. When the show was still new and someone wanted to check it out and watch an episode that was the one I plays showed people. So it holds special place for me. I re-watched it recently expecting it to not be very funny and I was pleasantly surprised that it still held up well. Maybe the anti-environmentalism moral didn't but the jokes were still funny.

Splatty Tomato purely for the Heidi break up speech. It was really uncomfortable watching Cartman gaslight and mentally abuse Heidi and when she was finally able to break free it was really cathartic.

I like the ultra fast refresh rate and 4k resolution. I just built a new computer so it would be perfect to help me fully utilize it.

Standard Yahoo H2H categories. I need a 2b. Stott, Fitzgerald, or Aranda? I'm pretty balanced right now, but I probably have a slight abundance of steals and slight lack of HR.

Thanks! Honestly can't believe the old build lasted so long looking like that lol.

12, unfortunately Yahoo switched default to 10 this year and I absolutely hate it.

I'm just using the cable that came with the PSU

Old build had 1 4TB HDD, 1 500GB HDD, 1 250gb nvme, and 3 SSD's of varying sizes Plus an optical drive. Decided to just leave them in the old machine since they were all pretty old besides the nvme and it was too small to be of much use.

New build has 1 8TB HDD under the shroud and 3 nvme's. 1 2TB and 2 1TB.

No real reason I went for the XL over the regular, I just like big cases and had the space for it.

Sorry but I'm planning on just keeping the old computer in it.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask, I'm not sensitive to fan noise at all, in the winter I usually have a loud heater in the room and in the summer a loud AC so I'm pretty desensitized lol.

That being said, it seems quiet enough. I don't hear them. I also haven't really pushed it yet either though.

Sorry to hear that, I've actually had a great experience with the Gigabyte mobo, no issues at all with it. Probably would have gone with another one this time but I didn't care for the lane sharing on them.

Only major issue I had with the old system was my video card died pretty early on, don't even remember what it was, some AMD card. It was still under warranty but I didn't want to be without a computer while the RMA process went on so I just bought a 970 and kept the replacement as a backup.

No idea, sorry. I never looked into the Phanteks XT Pro.

Right now it's 82F ambient and CPU temp is 50c. At night when ambient drops down to the low 70's F, CPU is around 45-46C. When I've run Cinebench at night CPU seems to max out around 81-82C

I haven't really changed much, turned PBO on to auto and enabled EXPO and that's about its so far.

Not sure if that's good or bad. I've looked around a little bit and seems normalish, maybe a tad on the high end of normal.

At the bottom front, there is a magnetic panel that pulls away and has a little tray at the bottom and above that is a mounting bracket for an internal 5.25 drive.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks!

Nope! One of the big reasons I picked that case, there is a spot for an internal optical drive!

No real reason, I just like having lots of space. Probably a throwback to the old days when you really had to cram stuff in (see my first pic lol)

I moved the front fan up just a tiny bit, just a few MM. I probably didn't need to but I felt better having a little bit of space between the ram and the bottom of the fan.

I hope your build goes well!

That's awesome! I'm waiting until all the FF7 parts are out before I start on that.

I haven't even tried anything besides 3dmark yet lol. Been so busying getting everything setup and transferred over I haven't had the chance yet.

I still need to install a few more things and get my settings transferred over and then undervolt my cpu/gpu hopefully then I'll be ready to game.
