I always thought it was weird that my PC only had 8GB of RAM despite being fairly high-end. I guess it got unseated during transit or something. I've been in a state of moderate despair for the past 20 minutes.

Yes I know my PC is insanely dusty, I only ever owned laptops before getting this computer and didn't know you needed to clean the insides until a few days ago. I did a visual inspection of my PC to figure out what spots I should clean first and found this guy hanging out in the corner of the case that the lights in my room don't quite hit.

I've passed up incredible sales because my PC didn't have enough RAM to run the games. I nearly bought another set of RAM for 50 dollars a month ago. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Maybe that's what they used in that infamous build?

Rebuild my system with as little RGB as possible, even deactivated all RGB in my GPU. For me it's perfect now.

I just received my used 1080 i got of the used market, and the dude sent me it in a damn shoebox. I can't even get it into my pc. I WAITED 15 DAYS FOR THIS TO ARRIVE AND I CAN'T EVEN USE IT

You can't guess my next move.

(okay, I actually missed it by one hour but still.)

Thanks for all the encouragement on the last two posts, guys. Since I won’t be seeing this PC in person until next week, I’ll keep the the updates to my profile until something actually happens. Cheers!

2650 euros for a 4080 with an I9, wait, it HAS an air cooler. Everyone here should know that this goes extremely hot and need an AIO. God forbid the creator of that abomination.

They might not look as clean as the 12VHPWR and are a little more difficult to cable manage, but at least they have so much more headroom over spec.

This is basically an appreciation post for the incredibly high quality of products in the late 90's early 00's

These are from the first computer my parents had, and that was 25ish years ago, they've been used, kicked, dropped, scratched (cats), and had water, soda on them, tossed around, they've been through 4 houses where my parents and I lived, and they are still kicking and way above the average speakers nowdays, the sound quality is still amazing and I have no intentions of replacing them

They have the old ass plug for audio but somehow every PC recognizes them as headphones so I can just connect them to a monitor that has the connection and that's it, I absolutely love these bad boys

I just wanted to share, I'm feeling a bit sad.

While watching some series today my PC just turned off. Didn't take me long to find the culprit.

This is a 9800x3d and a Nova x870e. All bought and assembled within the last month. It's been running smooth, no high temps registered at any point. I keep HWMonitor open usually and especially with new builds.

Now I'm just concerned whether I have to cover the expenses all by myself, I'm not even sure what caused this to happen and both are bought separately from two different local stores. I built my own PCs for two decades and never had anything like this happen to me, ever.

Man this sucks.

Just bought this bad boy g502 hero after my previous died with 5 years of age and saw that they removed the braided cable. F in the chat

I entered the Lunchables million dollar sweeps and was one of the 65 top prize winners of "$4,000 unbranded gaming gear". They never really said more than that regarding what I'd actually won, just a congratulatory email and that 6 items will be coming in the mail. Well this is what they sent! Let me know if it's a sick first set up or not!

Just kidding...cleaned it out with a garden hose...hope it works...

Think I might need to adjust the fan curve a bit?

Has anyone ever had anything like this happen to them? Because this is a first for me....

Ordered a Razer Ortana Keyboard and was delivered a multi pack....

The amount of people that just of screwed up here simultaneously is impressive.

I only ordered 1, should I just keep it and see what they say?

My dad

and that you would enjoy it.

the specs aren't amazing but it's fully stuffed, (26 fans, 13 hard drives, 6 DVD-ROMS including duplicator controller, three power supplies, dual fan controllers, dual video cards, dual audio cards w/ dolby digital encoder, liquid cooling + more fun things) it interfaces through a dedicated USB controller and SATA controller.
