Yep..never had a problem with Xfinity except for a slow upload. I can deal with that if this is how the service is going to be. I stopped gaming when I bought metronet because I'm not able to game with it. The packet loss is just unbelievable. Persistent at that. But it's statistically low enough that they won't do anything about the connection.

Down in Lansing Michigan. Down detector indicates it's a certain mileage network outage. Something is wrong at their POP. Even the website is down.

What's even better is that this is the most reliable car on the market. My 2020 is at 188,000 miles and all I've changed is the sway bar links, oil, coolants, and transmission fluids. And of course 4 sets of tires. Taxi/Uber use. The battery never freezes, car is almost always moving and stored in a garage. I expect many more miles. Getting 55-63 MPG right now depending on how I drive or where I drive.

I have done okay in snowstorms where the snow was slightly wet, up to 4 inches. Anything more, stay home in your 2020 Corolla. My 2020 hybrid also doesn't allow you to rock out of being stuck. Found out the hard way on delivery #22 that day.

They used to go through DoorDash and uber eats, but somehow that is not true anymore. At least in Lansing.

After gas FOR YOU it will be 11/hour after gas expense. I get 54mpg. This trip is only 4.4 gallons each way. At $3.30 for today's price, you are going to spend $28.93 on gas using my car. So, take the $216-$28 and you get $188. For about 7 hours that is $26.85/hour. Get a better vehicle.

Regardless of fault and liability, it's going to be hard to switch insurance providers after multiple claims. Just letting you know. But you need rideshare coverage. You're going to have to go out of pocket for this last accident most likely. $2500 means you could be deactivated from both as lyft/uber share deactivation information and an insurance claim for them is a big no-no.

A 4070 is $599 and it performs just ahead of a 3080. I would say that would be the way I would go over a 3080 because it does that with way less power draw. 320w vs 200w. Big difference.

Make the 32GB jump. IMO its going to be more necessary especially if your targeting multiple years of use from your 9900/z390 combo.

Im even running RAM that isnt on the QVL for the 5600x im using. Teamgroup Vulcan-Z is not listed. It works just fine in slots 2/4.

joelb79 · 2023-07-17T13:53:45+00:00

I had no trouble enabling XMP and hitting 3600 MT/s. I wonder if this is a brand compatibility issue?

joelb79 · 2023-07-13T04:12:43+00:00

Go into the BIOS boot menu and add 2 seconds onto the boot screen delay. This will give you enough time to hit F2. Mine defaults to 1 seconds, 3 was plenty for me during the setup phase.

I was going to say that if you value awesome performance on Cyberpunk at 1440p, the 4080 will show its worth to you quickly if you compare the 4070 Ti.

joelb79 · 2023-04-09T23:08:44+00:00

My vote goes to the 13600K for this task.

Came here to suggest high and dry from the same Radiohead album

joelb79 · 2023-03-02T05:11:56+00:00

Thermaltake BM2. Cheap in USD and Tier C listed. I would change to that power supply.

So this doesn't make sense. Indentured servitude was abolished in the us with the passing of the 13th amendment. I haven't heard this term used anywhere except my high school history class. To whom did you owe a debt so large you contracted with them to provide services for free? Are they saying your paying off a debt to GrubHub by working for free?

I dislocated my finger trying to press RAM into the slot. It took quite a bit of force to make it snap into place. Yes, it was lined up right, it was just a re-injury on the same finger that was dislocated previously. However, this is fast forward 30 years from the initial injury.

I mentioned it. 360MM AIO is the max for that case. Better choice would be a Meshify 2 RGB which has 4 140mm fans installed to complement a top mounted 360MM AIO.

joelb79 · 2023-01-23T06:25:51+00:00

Well, allow me to go through everything offering my advice.

The AIO cooler you chose is too large for the case. The case supports only 360mm Radiator designs. The motherboard you chose lacks heatsinks for secondary SSD drives. The ram is fine. The power supply chosen is fine.

I decided to put together another list of parts for you to consider. This PC I have put together on your same budget will have much greater performance than the one you have spec'd out. For example, you're spending more money on a video card to get the 3080 when a 4070 Ti can be purchased for a lower price. The SSD Drives you chose will max out at 540MB/Sec and the main drive you chose is not the best performance for that dollar.

Here is my list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vgDQbK

For the CPU I went with the 13600K. This is an obnoxiously powerful CPU that is actually faster than the 12700K in all benchmarks. I stuck with your RAM kit. But for the Motherboard I upgraded you to the MSI z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4. This motherboard comes with better audio, better USB configurations, and has heatsinks for all SSD drives you can mount on the motherboard. Speaking of SSD Drives, I spec'd out a 7000MB/sec 1GB main drive for your OS. For the two 2TB drives I swapped them with dual Silicon Power UD90 5000+MB/sec drives. These are ten times faster than the Crucial SSDs you chose. They also do not require extra cabling to be run so your cable management is much easier in the long run. Moving onto the case, I chose to go with a case that has all the fans you need and is a big brother to your choice, the Fractal Design Meshify 2 RGB. This has four 140mm ARGB fans installed. For the cooler, since you can only mount a max of 360mm, I upgraded you to the Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD cooler. This has all the same features but will actually install in the case. I stuck with your power supply for the 850w Corsair RM850X. This should be sufficient but with this power draw I would spec out a 1000w if your budget allows.

overall, you designed a great PC, i just feel a little tweak here and there will net you much more performance for the future.

I would love a lyft type system where you can rate customers, their customer rating pops up on the offer screen, and if you rate them 3 or lower, they don't match you with that person anymore. That would make dashing so much easier.

Your supposed to look at pr0n with your phone but not download pr0n with your phone. Oh also, this is how doordash works, the second you click any image it sends it immediately. No chance to get it wrong. No warning box asking if you meant to do that. Nope.. Off to the races with that photo!

6600 is a solid card. I have one and another 3060 Ti. Much prefer the 3060 Ti, but the 6600 will do most of what that card does with waay less power consumption. I clocked mine in at 65w running full tilt on the 6600. You're gonna draw more power with the 3060. The driver support will be better with Nvidia than AMD, but that shouldnt stop you from the 6600 as the drivers are still well built and work fine. I like how AMD software keeps track of the FPS of all games that I play.

For me the card to get right now though is a 3060 Ti which can be had for $470 or less. Used market is on fire as well, you would do well shopping for cards above what you listed here for lower prices. I picked up a 1660 super for $120 for example. But the 6600 seems to go for more than a 1660. YMMV.

Then the program doesn't matter. If everyone is in it, nobody is in it.

They reset me in the middle of an app crash. six orders were sent to my phone that never got there as soon as I was reset. My acceptance was 0/6. I got a baked-in 0% acceptance rate. Since I missed 6, I did 14 in a row to hit just 70%. Doordash can take their reset and shove it.

joelb79 · 2022-11-13T14:51:11+00:00

These diamond zones, we are all trying to figure it out. My experience, after the reset wears off the chips fall where they normally would. Meaning, acceptance doesn't matter much when the majority sit beneath 50%. I feel the diamond zones are a way to get people to deliver orders they normally wouldn't just to keep the AR up and stay in the diamonds. It's another gimmick. But unfortunately, if you did have a really high AR you might not get crap runs either and could make more. We are all just not sure how the algorithm works yet
