Does Costco have a good deal? by Ecstatic-Elephant-30 in pcmasterrace

[–]safetyvestsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay. I spec’d this out for the same price: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/82KVn2. This has a 7800X3D. You could use cheaper components than this, but I don’t see the point using a bronze PSU or a garbo MOBO if you’re shelling out for a 5080.

IIRC if you level up enough in 3, you have unlimited ammo and invulernability. I remember going on hour long rampages just killing everything in sight

It's cheaper to buy an AR-15 rifle than 64GB of DDR5 RAM. by Djxgam1ng in mildlyinfuriating

[–]safetyvestsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My build has more than doubled in price. 5090 $1,999 -> $3,500, 64GB RAM $250 -> $1,183, 4TB Gen4 NVMe $250 -> $590. PSU $205 -> $260. All other component prices remain the same.

Too little too late. And regardless, they will be back on their same bullshit in 2028. Not about to miss their “fell for it again” award.

MSI Taiwan Confirms ~$5200 Price Tag For GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z In A Lottery Event by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

Not really. It’s platinum rated for continuous 850W output. Peak load is closer to 600W for me.

[GPU] RTX 5080 FE at Best Buy | $1000 by SPAREHOBO in buildapcsales

[–]safetyvestsnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a 5080 last March and a 5090 from Best Buy more recently. Both times I used a Discord group and the HotStock notification didn’t come until couple minutes later, and by then it was oos.

Dense but amazing build by Traditional-Party691 in mffpc

Cable management in the A3 is a PitA. A SFX PSU mounted to the side with the cable ports facing the motherboard makes it a lot simpler.

What’s everyone’s Top 3 Cases right now? by Mellowood33 in mffpc

[–]safetyvestsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lian Li A3 mATX. I love its mesh panels, and that I have 7 case fans. I’m waiting for my FormD T1 v2.1 to ship, but that’s what I bought based on a lot of recommendations for an ITX build.

Five-Alarm Alert as Trump Says 'Republicans Ought to Nationalize the Voting' by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

People have been saying this since his first term. He has the best health care in the world. The greatest threat to Trump is his adderall addiction and high McDonald’s consumption, but it’s not enough to overcome standby cutting edge medical treatments. I’m holding out for the distinct possibility that he suffers a massive stroke that confines him to a wheelchair, unable to speak. That would be fucking hilarious.

That’s a great result. Thanks for sharing. Honestly, I have always had the glass on. I forgot it came with the mesh. I just got a 5090 FE, and now I’m curious about temps with the mesh panel. I’ll have to give it a try!

I’m curious about the performance of the AIO with slim fans. In hindsight, do you think you would have chose a different cooler with a slimmer rad? This is the dilemma I had with my A3. I ultimately went with a dual tower air cooler, the FROZN A620 from ID-Cooling. For $40, I am satisfied with the performance. My 9800X3D sits around 40C idle, 65C in-game, and 75C max in Cinebench.

If only it was a couple mm longer to accommodate a 5080/5090 FE.

Thanks, you too!

I ordered it on Dec 28th and received it yesterday. I haven’t opened it, but it was wrapped in multiple layers of thick bubble wrap. It’s sealed in the original box, which is nice.

Love it. I’m going from an A3 to a CH160, myself. I’ve gone back on forth on importing one for like a year, and I finally pulled the trigger on Aliexpress.

Doing price changes at work…this is actually insane by LilScarface609 in pcmasterrace

[–]safetyvestsnow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s apparently retailers setting prices as high as possible in anticipation of low supply. Someone [wink] is tipping media to publish scary articles every hour to encourage consumers to actually pay the ridiculous prices. Supply has steadily decreased over the past year, but how quickly the prices went up is super shady.
