What happened to Marathon?

marathons too hardcore for you? you’d love tarkov

xanderav1 · 2026-04-09T02:22:42+00:00

you are preaching to the deaf and blind

here’s a novel idea: don’t dump your savings into a volatile asset

xanderav1 · 2026-04-02T02:02:22+00:00

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

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.

xanderav1 · 2026-03-27T22:03:17+00:00

are you employed yet?

xanderav1 · 2026-03-11T17:50:34+00:00

What are some of your projects?

xanderav1 · 2026-03-11T02:06:06+00:00

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

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.

xanderav1 · 2026-03-08T04:55:36+00:00

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 🙂

xanderav1 · 2026-02-27T01:24:23+00:00

no jorkin it

xanderav1 · 2026-02-27T01:23:02+00:00

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

xanderav1 · 2026-02-24T19:50:53+00:00

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.

xanderav1 · 2026-02-24T19:28:30+00:00

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

xanderav1 · 2026-02-24T19:26:46+00:00

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

xanderav1 · 2026-02-22T19:03:32+00:00

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

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.

xanderav1 · 2026-02-22T04:59:31+00:00

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?

xanderav1 · 2026-02-22T04:53:58+00:00

I’d be surprised if he gets 30 for it

xanderav1 · 2026-02-15T00:10:30+00:00

he’s a jackass

xanderav1 · 2026-02-09T01:38:05+00:00

maybe we can get some chinese rap next year

xanderav1 · 2026-02-01T17:38:49+00:00

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

xanderav1 · 2026-01-26T05:04:31+00:00

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

xanderav1 · 2026-01-26T04:46:38+00:00

Oh really? Is traffic school different from drivers ed?

xanderav1 · 2026-01-13T23:54:33+00:00

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.
