  1. Last week
  2. MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z OCER GPU Spotted With A Mind-Blowing 40-Phase VRM, Overclocked To 3.45 GHz & 36 Gbps On GDDR7 WCCFTECH.COM MSI's mind-blowing and upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z OCER GPU has been pictured & tested in its first overclocking benchmark.
  3. This time of year I tend to fold occasionally just for the heat. If by chance that should happen during this event, there is no need to include me in any part of prizes. On another note, I do miss the advanced control interface. This browser based control annoys me and seems somewhat limited compared to the old advanced console.
  4. Earlier
  5. Sadly, my latest purchase is a downgrade of my Internet speed tier with Xfinity down to what feels like the mid-aughts stone age for me at 300 Mbps (which I just tested to 360 Mbps) for $80/month because my gigabit contract expired and the price is going up from $88/month to $119. They do offer a $10/month discount for autopay with a bank account for all their plans, but I refuse to essentially consent to extortion with no consumer recourse. Companies like these will be paid via credit card every damn time. At least I'm off-contract now so if I ever do decide to switch to the other shitty customer service experience in AT&T (unlikely because I'm still bitter toward their relentless door-to-door commissioned contractor sales tactics), I won't pay any early termination fees.
  6. I can't believe it's come to the point where you can buy a mac book for the price of 64Gb of Ram. I saw that and was just like *? Then I was scrolling through newegg and the price shock even with the holiday sales was enough to just make me close the page.
  7. Well I have a Steelcase Leap so I understand.
  8. I'm actually going back from a regular desk chair. I know I'm weird, but my most comfortable chair ever was a gaming style chair. I'm hoping this one will be as comfortable as my old one since it's not made anymore. I kept it so long I wore the seat out, recovered it and wore it out again. The chair I'm sitting in right now is one of those fancy pants chairs that use what I can only describe as trampoline material instead of an actual cushion. Everyone in the reviews swore they were the greatest ever. Me, I think it's an over glorified trampoline lol. I dunno, I might regret buying another gaming style chair. Either way, I wish you the best of luck tracking down that CUDIMM kit
  9. I've always thought gaming chairs were a scam. If you want to spend decent money, at least get a good chair like a Stealcase or Herman Miller. Something that's actually rated to be sat in for hours at a time without wrecking your back. As for my most recent purchase... Picked up a delidded Core Ultra 265K. Now to track down a decent CUDIMM kit without selling any organs
  10. I have a evo 2022 model.... I hope your chair doesn't squeak as bad as mine.... its horrible.
  11. sooo... I just spent more on a chair than I spent on my first car. Secretlab Titan Evo XL McLaren preorder. I'd put a screenshot, but kinda ashamed how much I just blew on a chair. Still, I hope it will end the frustration of dealing with cheap chair that I always keep breaking.
  12. Prize for MOST WORK UNITS completed during challenge. Sorry USA only unless you want to pay for shipping. Board is just a couple months old. Was in my main rig and I just upgraded. Has a chonker VRM and tons of USB and great audio. Ideal for a streamer or studio work.
  13. I wish my 9950X3D / 128 GB would boot up in 15 seconds, especially after making certain changes in the bios...
  14. If you start wearing aluminium foil am going to start worrying Mine not doing that but the usb port on a few of my am3 gigabyte did act crazy so maybe interference. Unplug evwry usb thing to test.
  15. Oh wow, yeah totally missed that. I'll keep an eye out in the coming months then.
  16. I don't remember it activating a force field but I'll fire it up and find out soon. Might take it outside to bench it. Get all the snow on the back deck melted off
  17. Asus Astral 5090 OC LC AIO ($US 3090); already had it past 3400 MHz core and GDDRX oc'ed to max slider > 2060 GB/s
  18. I posted in eXtremeGaming as well. See if I can't convince some new kids to join up again like last year. It's all in good fun afterall! I'll see if I can't get a few cards up and live before January 25th myself! I'm still not comfortable on my AI Pro R9700, but I'd be happy to torture my 7900XTX and 1080Ti. Maybe toss the 6950 XT at it too. Idk, maybe the RTX 3050 I have laying around might do decent numbers too? I'm trying to figure out how to NOT melt my apartment's wiring but get as many going as I can.
  19. I have to ask, since you're probably the only other person here with a beast FX rig still running......... Does yours also happen to have a wireless forcefield surrounding the damn thing or something? Every time I turn my FX rig on, EVERY wireless device, even my cell phone, stops working if they're within like 10 feet of my FX rig. Walk 10 feet away, the wireless devices all of a sudden work fine again! I love that stupid rig.......
  20. I'll be putting up good numbers for EHW regardless, although it's good to see a few more people in our corner.
  21. There were some serious server issues at folding@home this year. I stopped posting the monthly foldathons because of it. I assume they are back on track so if we have a descent turnout for the [H] competition I'll resume those.
