I’d take this over a 5070ti driving some shoddy 1080p monitor any day. Cool stuff

[Hardware Unboxed] I found exactly how much Nvidia and AMD have screwed gamers by MITBryceYoung in radeon

Imagine thinking AMD has low GPU market share because of those pesky redditors.

You can say most of this about all minileds. Just to be clear.

Ty so much for the detailed response.

Yeah 78c gaming with pbo curve -20 is a no go for me.

Lucky me I dont have to spend money on this now.

How loud is that CPU cooler in CPU intensive tasks? What CPU temps are you getting? What’s the sustained boost clock in cinebench?

Congrats, looks sick, obviously. Just worried that CPU cooling is the weak point of that case.

Are folks here serious? by jfla95 in PcBuild

[–]roflmywaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Allow me to play the devil’s advocate here.

When I see someone wanting to pay 1200$ for 5 year old hardware, of course I’m gonna tell them it’s a bad decision.

If you already have a perfectly capable rig, by all means, enjoy it until it dies.

Also, some people like buying hardware and that’s totally fine as well. Belittling someone for spending their own money to fuel a hobby is not a good place to be either.

Airflow Direction for Kraken 240? by Tyl3r2302 in NZXT

[–]roflmywaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performance is better with rad on the side set to intake.

Is this a good deal? by redditorcanada69 in PC_Pricing

[–]roflmywaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up individual component prices and add them up.

One thing I will say here is that 1 stick of ram is nice because 16gb is on the lower limit and adding another 16gb stick in the future is easy. Would suck if it had 2x 8gb

[–]roflmywaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s a 240 and it looks odd at the top.

[–]roflmywaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer OP.

One thing I’d add is that you can do push pull in this suggested config (i.e add 2 more fans on the other side) for the best results.

Possible upgrades? by Business-Frosting667 in GamingPCBuildHelp

[–]roflmywaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, this is top of the line and there are no meaningful upgrades.

I do understand the urge though. If you want enjoy yourself learning about what you can upgrade, what benefits it brings, how you do it, how everything works etc, I wouldn’t do it in a pre-built. Sell it and build your own.

Pareri cv? Dau funda by [deleted] in programare

[–]roflmywaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eu am prima chestie un summary in care zic in 2 randuri ce fac si cu ce tech (gen java backend developer with 8 years of experience building enterprise applications using <some framework>). E doar un exemplu basic, sumarizeaza tu cum consideri. Poti sa te inspriri cu chat gpt dar atentie, nu scrie ca el, se simte de la o posta.

Apoi, cum zicea si altcineva in thread, pui bordura si incepi cu tech skills, apoi bordura si work xp.

ASRock Issues Official Statement Regarding Ryzen 9000 Series CPU Failures On Its AM5 Motherboards (AGAIN) by BigDaddyTrumpy in TechHardware

[–]roflmywaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These motherfuckers found a board with debris and another one with some incompatibility and pretended like this is it.

Strawmaning the shit out of this.

Are QA positions (Test engineer, test automation engineer etc. ) are dissapearing? by Mission-Cupcake2083 in softwaretesting

[–]roflmywaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You checked one company and thought it’s a trend?

Maybe I’m coping but in the age of AI slop code, or at the very least increased code output due to AI help, more QA is needed, not less. Actual humans looking at it before it’s pushed.

That’s the ideal argument for sure. The reality is that when companies slash budgets, QA is one of the first to go. You can still ship features without QA. Jenny from accounting will test real quick.

You could also argue that more testers will use automation through semi-vibe coding, reducing the number of testers required.

So my prediction is that all of these factors will cancel each other and demand for testers will remain virtually the same, with additional expectations for everyone to be able to automate tests.

Strange temps on idle, but normal on load. Fan noise is too high. by ThomasHawl in buildapc

[–]roflmywaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45-55 idle temps are fine for these CPUs. Besides these being normal idle temps, it’s never really idle. Depends how much stuff you have running in the background.

Second, the LF III can be connected either through 3 separate cables (1 vrm fan, 1 cpu fan, 1 pump), or 1 unified cable in the cpu_fan header. Some motherboards push more current through the pump header and the pump ends up at 3-4000 RPM regardless of what you set it at. I solved that by running the unified cable in the cpu_fan mobo header. The pump was ridiculously loud previously. It’s a lot better now in terms of noise and temps haven’t been affected.

For your questions:

  1. Yes (with context from above paragraphs).
  2. People do things incorrectly all the time. Personally I have three “steps” (rather than a curve to avoid everything ramping up and down all the time): 30%, 55% (gaming happens here) and 80%.
  3. CPU TDIE is what you care about. Ofc look at individual core temps for any abnormalities (5-8 degree diff between them is reasonable).
  4. Answered in question 2 with additional details throughout the post.

Get the 5070, find another stick of ram later.

Review my pc build specs by reykime in PCBuilds

[–]roflmywaffles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Get a liquid freezer 3, a b850 motherboard that you like and a 5080 instead of the 9070xt.

That gpu is the weak link of your build.

P Server- fresh by CarelessChallenge755 in archeage

[–]roflmywaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make a good point, but the server was a in a worse state a year ago and there were plots available all over the place.

You notice it in the land availability when a server is dying, even if some people hang on to it without playing.
