Easy answer from me, but it's just one. My Z97 Sabertooth. The last of the real Sabertooths before TUF became just another ASUS gaming marketing gimmick.

I'll handle that for you. A lot of computer hardware has gone to h$ll thanks to the "ARGEEEEEBEEEEEE and mediocrity is more important than quality or design!" kiddies. Cases, fans, coolers, RAM....huge dropoffs in the amount of quality products available across the board thanks to this. Maybe if they used their rigs instead of laying back in their racing chairs going Rule 34 while staring at the pretty lights we wouldn't have this problem.

The six fingered intro to Chiller is one of my fondest childhood memories!

I need a laugh emoji for this. And one that says "uh, yeah....it's just that Outsider guy....I never get involved with that stuff....nope". But really, the kid giving advice about how to run a D5 and the effects of flow rate based off his experience with a CLC was gold.

Everything does seem to be pointing that way, doesn't it?

That moment you become the "Specialist" on a TV show.

Because it always ends with the laptop back together, and one tiny screw left on the desk...... -

I had that Sapphire 5770! Well, actually I had three of them in succession since they all worked for about a month followed by them displaying only a green screen. When the third one died, the 6770 was already out so Sapphire sent me the newer model. -
If Heatkiller did this it would be awesome. But, you know, HK does crazy things like QC. EK doing it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Well....the US dollar is no longer backed by anything tangible. Only backing is "faith in the government that issued it". So, not really much different than crypto at this point. I have played GBTC when it channels up, but nothing more than swing trades. I don't trust that one day it won't suddenly be worthless for an ordinary individual.

You are rationalizing something that is purely irrational. Really. After watching people quite literally spend thousands for either the ePeen of having the newest card, or to get an indiscernible gain in fps on some random game....you think that will suddenly stop with the 40 series? It's gotten progressively worse with every gen of card that's released. Gamers do not do things for rational reasons. They need to go from 168 to 190 fps in Call of Warcraft VII: The Revenge of Lothar of The Hill People even if they have to live off Cheetos and Red Bull for a year.

Build Log - Sir B's Black/White/Gold O11-Dynamic
ciarlatano replied to Sir Beregond's topic in Desktop
While I have never used it on anything PC related.....I love my Ultra Saw. Well, excepting the price of the blades and how quickly the wood blades dull. -
No, it's purely entertaining rather than vexing. Ok.....sometimes it's vexing...... Perhaps I was a monk in a former life, and OCN is my carryover of self-flagellation......

Is it clairvoyance? Is it a super power? How is it that I know exactly what components will be listed for the build 90% of the time after reading nothing more than the thread title? Play along with me, guess the cooling components being put in a cookie cutter build with the thread title "Corsair 1000D Quad Rad setup". Try it, you'll be amazed just how close you are to 100% correct. Please Wait... | Cloudflare WWW.OVERCLOCK.NET

I struggle with not resenting Micro Center for not being better with online purchases. I have one about an hour from me.....but I have to drive through the traffice epicenter of the US to get to it.

Interviewing the Forum: How and why did you begin using folding@home?
ciarlatano replied to damric's topic in Folding@Home

Odd news. One has to wonder if their ventures into SSD has been more profitable, and that they are going to devote the resources to that.

Interviewing the Forum: How and why did you begin using folding@home?
ciarlatano replied to damric's topic in Folding@Home
I've been folding at home as long as I can remember. There was a week back in 2018 when my dryer had a bad ignitor and I took a couple of loads to the laundromat, other than that, it has always been done at home. -
ancient computers The ancient 'computer' that simply shouldn't exist
ciarlatano replied to J7SC_Orion's topic in Hardware News
The more unexplainable things they find dated far older than expected, the more likely they are to admit that was the case. There is already enough out there that I think we are definitely living in a reboot. -
Interesting. I dragged my feet long enough on upgrading to a 5600X that my plan switched to a 12600k. If I drag my feet on that long enough, I could potentially be looking at team red again.
-
It's not that they are forced to, it is that they do it regardless of whether it makes sense. If users were reasonable about the experience rather than meaningless benchmarks, things would change.
-
Yes, but a joke that includes a great concept. Why can't video cards become modular like a MB with the GPU able to be swapped? Look how much it has helped AMD on the CPU side. It's not that it can't be done, I see it as a reluctance on the part of mfg. With cards flying off the shelf for nothing but ePeen ( if you tell me you can see the difference between 120 and 140 fps, I am going say "suuuuuuuuuuure you can"), why cut into the bottom line? The fact that he had Intel as the one doing was a clever jab.
-
Great concept. The modular design is something that should have been implemented in GPUs years ago. Ironic that it would be Intel doing it, given that they can't maintain a socket for more than 1-2 generations, with two being the outlier.

Optimal sound card/audio setup w Z-5500 Logitech sound system
ciarlatano replied to Storm-Chaser's topic in Computer Audio
If you are doing digital out from the card, you will be relying on the D/A built into the Logitech. With that, make sure your focus is on that aspect. You don't want to pay a fortune for a card skewed to it's analog output since you would be throwing away money for something you won't be using. That said.....I have no idea what to suggest. I have always been more focused on the analog capabilities in my looks at sound cards. -
I am trying to stay to a midrange DDR4 board. I may just wait a bit. Seeing so many BIOS, RAM, etc issues.
