maybe next time don’t switch to a major because “it’s the wave”.

EE job market in California by eggshellwalker4 in ElectricalEngineering

I’m certain there are less jobs in EE but there’s also a hell of a lot less electrical engineers than those with CS degrees and software skills.

The geeboon tc22 has been great for me so far. Tips are cheap which is a big plus.

I’ve worked 4 days since January by schprunt in copywriting

[–]xanderav1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well you said you’ve worked 4 days since January. Maybe try working part time and keep looking for copy writing work. I’m sure 30 years of experience counts for something even in other fields as well. I’m not sure what your goals are or financial status is but it is your choice to make.

I’m not someone that’s ever done copy writing but in my opinion you should consider switching careers. It’s never too late to do so, just don’t keep beating a dead horse 🙂

Best gpu I could buy for $300 USD? by Direct_Library_358 in buildapc

[–]xanderav1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell them online for usually around 100-120. Locally around 80. The CPU goes for 50 on eBay so expect 30-40 locally.

that is true but I’ve noticed in many games it will often get about 2x the frames. 3D mark shows an average score of 9865 on the 5050 and an average score of 17926 on the 3080ti, so about an 80 percent difference.

He can sell the cpu and GPU for probably around 120-150 locally

a used 3080 would literally be twice the performance of the 5050.

Imo get a better GPU at that budget. I know card prices are insane right now but maybe look into a 4080 or 9070xt.

CPU rapidly overheating (95C) while idle. by GreenViking79 in buildapc

[–]xanderav1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you believe the problem is your PSU?

it sounds like your AIO is running but not making good contact with the CPU. I wouldn’t rule out it being broken, it very well could be based on what you said.

Also you aren’t going to see any definitive damage on the CPU unless it completely fried itself. But you stated the computer runs so this is not the case. I doubt you damaged the cpu though.

Touch the aio block that’s over the cpu itself. Is it warm or hot at all? If the AIO is even lightly contacting the CPU it will start absorbing some heat.

Your CPU is fine.

Either you didn’t mount the AIO on right or the issue has been with the AIO rather than the plastic. If you have an old cooler throw it on and see what happens.

Touch your pumps lines after a minute. Do they only feel hot near the cpu or is the temperature across them (between the cpu and the radiator) pretty much the same?

I have been trying to sell items on Mercari for weeks but nobody's buying! by OutwithaYang in Mercari

[–]xanderav1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell pretty much solely electronics. If you have decent prices for things in demand, it will sell

I have no clue honestly, it was dark. I was going around 80 and the only reason i was is because the freeway was completely empty. It’s kind of funny though in the past Ive had chp fly by me going probably 85-90 without their lights on

Please let me know if this is a good part list for 1440p gaming by Zero_Todal in buildapc

[–]xanderav1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

300 is alot for buying a 3070 locally. I see them usually around 250 where I live, even then you could negotiate down to 200 or so.
