Nice GPU upgrade.
What was the rationale behind the PSU change though? At best, that's a sideways move IMO

Thanks. The Corsair wasn't supplying the proper power anymore. My computer kept rebooting when gaming and with testing individual parts it ended up being the PSU.

Fair enough - if it needed replacing, it needed replacing.

The G+ isn't "bad", although it has some shortcomings -- it's biggest issue is usually price though. Pretty common to see it priced on par with (or more expensive that) EVGA's own G3, or something like a Focus+ from SeaSonic.

Ah ok, appreciate the info barty. I have the G2 850w in my other rig that I gave to my brother and it works perfect for just over two years. Good thing the warranty is 10 years.

My latest "make my PC go faster" mod has been to tape Intel stickers onto my CPU cooler atop my Ryzen CPU because "Intel is better for gaming!"

https://ibb.co/ZNWbG9Z

Yes, those both are stickers from Celeron machines with a fraction of the horsepower of any Ryzen CPU. The top one is from a single core Celeron 450 Dell and the bottom is from a 2 thread Celeron N3060 Acer laptop.

I guess this is the PC equivalent to speed stripes or flames.

Probably the PC equivalent of sticking "fake" badges on your car opposed to stripes or flames.

....Or, in the instance using Celeron.... Maybe more like sticking a Prius emblem on a Pickup Truck.

I want to rob the I5 logo off of a relatives laptop and stick it on the heat sync aswell. Maybe peel the GTX sticker off and stick it onto my RX580?

Or an M3 badge on a non-M BMW

I despise people that do that. Its not like you can't tell the difference in looks, exhaust note, ect.

I'm just doing it for the lols. There is still a ryzen 3 badge on the front of my S340 case

 

[Barty1884]

That was my first thought actually.... but then I considered it even worse.
At least you're sticking with the same brand - just pretending to be something it's not.

In this instance, it's more akin to removing an M3 badge from an M3 - making it out to be a lesser system (in the case of a Celeron)

But, but, Intel is better for gaming!!!! How dare you tell me the AMD CPU is better...

If you had slapped an i9 sticker on there, I'd see your rationale.
As it stands, beyond the initial amusement factor, I do not.

Got this for free on Facebook Marketplace. Was looking for a monitor for cheap for awhile for my XP pc. It's no CRT, but can't beat the price.

Just upgraded my laptop over the weekend, got 4 32GB Corsiar Vengance RAM chips and a 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD.

Just wondering, what are you doing that requires 128gb of memory?

 

[Deleted member 217926]

I don't think many laptops even support 128GB. And wow I bet that was expensive.

 

[jimmysmitty]

I don't think many laptops even support 128GB. And wow I bet that was expensive.

The Dell Precisions we have been ordering for workstations support up to 128GB non-ECC RAM.

I can't imagine many consumer systems would. Maybe that insane liquid cooled one Asus had a while go but even so thats a lot of RAM to fit into a system.

It's a Lenovo P53.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Ah, that makes sense.

Wow! Someone with real work to do!

Which makes me more excited for NVDIMMs. 128GB is a lot but imagine if you could put two 512GB sticks in instead.....

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Just a fun fact, a single EPYC Rome CPU can address 2 TERRABYTES of 3200mhz ram.

With a dual socket config, thats 4tb max.

Some of these servers have more ram than I have storage on my PC.

Autocad.

Autocad.

Ok, that makes a bit more sense.

Replaced my "regular" NH-D15 (with Chromax fans and covers already in place) with the all-black LTT edition.... Then put the Chromax covers back on and covered up the entire black shroud.

Moved my old black NF-A15's to the top as exhaust


Yeah... this made no sense.

Thats you.

"Dear... It was only $30*
after I sell the old one, and some other miscellaneous, my net spend was $30"

Is probably closer to it
