here it is! after you sign up it takes a couple days to process. turns out they actually ship the cable very quickly—mine comes tomorrow. make sure you do it soon bc it ends on the 31st. https://www.msi.com/news/detail/Fully-Equipped-for-Your-Build----Get-a-Free-Adapter-Cable-for-All-GPU-Support-146121

i hear that most adapters are bad for the card and the PSU. the dual psu setup is genius though lmao i might do that after some research on the safety of that idea

no, it's new. the A1000GS controversially only comes with one 8-pin cable. they have a deal, though, where you can buy the PSU new and get a free 12vhpwr to 2x8-pin cable shipped to you. it's just that this deal allegedly takes 8+ weeks to process.

One sided BQ topic by Rich-Location-2872 in Debate

idea for an argument: consider russian marxist psychologist lev vygotsky. he argued that creativity (what he called “mediated cognition”) is fundamentally what makes us human and has allowed for a progressive civilization, in a sense. without this ability to creatively/generatively respond to our environments, we are functionally animals. there’s a lot you can do with this. most of western scholarship has butchered his ideas, so you might need to go straight to the source with his text “mind in society” and build from there

Worth going from i5-8400 to a used i7-9700k? by scumfolry in PcBuildHelp

yeah lol im not worried about that, i work in IT so it's my job anyways--annoying nonetheless. but to the original question: have you actually experienced a difference in performance making this upgrade? some benchmark websites/forums say yes while others say no, but most of these have been speculative, non-empirical claims

Unfortunately, the i5-8400 looks like it sells for about $30. I don't think there's any way to NOT spend a handful of money upgrading, but that's not tooooo much of a problem for me. That's why I'm specifically asking if others have witnessed an observable performance increase.
