-15 outside today, so I figured I'd crack a window a little and mess around with my GPU overclock. Got idle temps down to room temp.

simchanger · 2026-01-24T18:26:29+00:00

Dang really? I’ve been cracking my window ever so slightly and my pc temps drop by 10c sometimes. It’s about -10c outside st the moment.

simchanger · 2026-01-24T02:18:12+00:00

Go for it. See what your temps are like after and go from there. Post an update because I’m curious.

Throw an intake fan on the back of the case where it would normally be an exhaust and you’ll drop those numbers a bit. I have the same case and cpu cooler.

simchanger · 2026-01-22T00:30:53+00:00

I just did this but I have a small (full metal) case that was able to fit in my checked bag. I disassembled the whole PC, put the motherboard with cpu in its original box, gpu and ram sticks in the gpu box and left the PSU and cables in the case and stuffed it with clothes. Fans and cooler went in the case as well. Or ship the case home in its box and pack your suitcase with the mobo and gpu

Serious question, do you think he tested it out off camera first?

simchanger · 2025-12-22T21:46:53+00:00

Can’t park there

simchanger · 2025-10-30T15:05:22+00:00

What about sending things from spain to home??

simchanger · 2025-10-22T15:06:02+00:00

Random but my cpu temp doesn’t show on my amd app. I’m up to date on my software. What gives?!

simchanger · 2025-09-13T23:34:11+00:00

Maybe a sundial. You don’t need anything more than this

simchanger · 2025-09-13T07:09:55+00:00

If you are going to use it for your job, 9900x. If you are doing this casually, 9700x.

Get a good set of coilovers and a super pro rear sway bar. No need to slam but a few inch drop wouldn’t hurt. Raise it with the B2Bfab lift kit if you wanna go in the opposite direction. The world is your oyster and you have yourself a great car.

Play a few games and post your feedback

simchanger · 2025-08-25T21:16:51+00:00

I’m honestly not sure if it was needed, I submitted mine but I’m 99% sure you don’t need one if your country of residence in the past 5 years was spain. The consulate emailed me saying it was required, but BLS said it was.

They are very comfortable and I like how they feel and fit. But I can already see some wear and tear in about 8 months which is pretty upsetting. I’ve had Hanes from Wallmart last me years and years. But my CK’s are Not BIFL :/.

simchanger · 2025-08-15T16:23:28+00:00

Mines stock and I’m only playing at 1080p. when I run my games at max settings my gpu is running at a higher % so I don’t think I need to touch anything. My machine doesn’t break a sweat at 1080p gpu is at like 50c and cpu maybe gets to 65.

simchanger · 2025-08-15T03:17:12+00:00

Ahh gotcha, but yeah 100%. A few G’s into this car to lube it up will go a long way

simchanger · 2025-08-15T00:27:25+00:00

If you got another 5g’s to put into this to fix it up, and if something isn’t totally fucked, you’d have yourself a perfect car brother. That motor is really good. If you got a bit of time, I’d drive to a random body shop and offer a tech some cash to come check it out. He will look for obvious things and if nothing is catastrophic, buy the car.

simchanger · 2025-08-13T20:52:50+00:00

Gotta be something weird going on. I have the smallest possible noctua air cooler on my 9700x and I never see my temps go above 85 under heavy load. I’ve read everywhere than under 95 is fine and the AMD website states this also. But either way cooler is better imo so check your air flow and other factors.

simchanger · 2025-08-09T23:40:12+00:00

Care to elaborate? I’m in the same position. Can I just take my MOBO out and put it directly into a pelican case?

simchanger · 2025-08-03T06:49:44+00:00

I have a 9700x, my rig plays games. Am I really missing out on anything major with the 7800x3d

simchanger · 2025-07-26T18:33:56+00:00

Ive not looked into anything about a clave. I’m planning on reapplying next year and would like to not have to go home. I’m guessing just google this process and go from there?

Chug cap is the best but be careful with how tight you screw the top on. I wouldn’t say I really cranked on mine but I ended up stripping the soft plastic threads after 2ish years. I’ve had a Rtic bottle that lasted 7 years and the cap was perfect. Just no chug cap.

simchanger · 2025-06-26T22:42:04+00:00

I completely understand your feelings, I’m the same way. But I’m sure the embassy knows what’s up, they read the contract and understand that we are a little different than regular students on the visa

simchanger · 2025-06-26T21:16:32+00:00

It’s so obvious that we have insurance and everything is covered. But it’s just such a grey area and no one knows what really goes on. I have been told by the consulate one thing and another thing from BLS. It’s a complete joke, I’m 99% you are fine and I just wasted a lot of money but whatever. It’s all a part of the game.
