It's always a little nerve-wracking. I've done it at least 4 times and I haven't broken one yet. After doing it once with a razor, I bought the tool.

PlayStation State Of Play June 2022 Biggest Announcements And Games - GameSpot WWW.GAMESPOT.COM Final Fantasy, Horizon, and Resident Evil were all part of the presentation. Spiderman for PC will be nice.

Chinese military secrets leaked on a video game forum WWW.POLYGON.COM It’s not the first time that War Thunder fans have leaked military secrets If your goal is making a realistic video game, this kind of press is better than any advertisement.

You ever try wildlands? Sounds like it would be right up your alley.

What kind of games are your favorite? All the games you listed are in the realm of big budget story and combat games. @Sir Beregond The DLC for Witcher 3 was the best part IMO. Blood and Wine is great, if you are already far enough in the game to start the DLC you definitely should. I did not find the main plat of the game very interesting... just too slow and too many random NPCs to keep track of, but the DLC quest lines are top notch.

I've used clear nail polish before. How are you going to do the delid? Do you have a delid tool?

Update: God of War now supports AMD FSR 2.0 WWW.TECHSPOT.COM God of War's patch notes are pretty brief: FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 has been implemented in the game...

It looks like my temps are 4-5c high compared to the 3700x but still well under the safe temp limit which is 90c. I wish there was something more interesting for me to try on this CPU but in the one game I've tested so far, my FPS has improved 0%. More proof that there are no interesting CPU gains in 4K.

Upgraded to the 5800X. Single thread CPUz score is now 640. What kind of temps do u guys see on Ryzen 5000?

I don't think the ideas that parents should do a better job monitoring their kids behavior and that social media companies should have some safe guards when it comes to the algorithms they use to keep minors engaged are mutually exclusive. Both are good things here.

Both my parents worked, and I wad the youngest of 3 kids. There's probably not a lot my parents could have done to keep me off short of getting rid of any computers. Back then tho, there wasn't anything out there carefully designed to build a pavlovian addiction cycle to keep me engaged.

1 was great. 2 was just a copy of 1, just a cut and paste sequel. 3 was really bad. One of the most boring games to play that I've ever finished. The twist ending was cool but the gameplay was just soooo boring. All those sections that were literally on rails were really lame. That game was definitely held back by the 360 era.

California Bill Could Allow Parents to Sue for Their Kid's TikTok Habit GIZMODO.COM More young kids are using social media than ever before, but companies said they would have to disable California... An interesting bill. I don't think a bill like this could ever pass if not for the leaked information proving that these companies know what they're doing is harming kids while still doing it anyway. Will be interesting to see where this leads.

You're almost single handedly keeping the SLI dream alive. Surprises me how many games still support it. Very impressive results.

What do you mean? Like the FPS is higher?

So just to make a short story long, this customer brought me his PC about 2 months ago. He was having crashes and when he brought me the PC, the ram wasn't configured correctly, the OS was installed on an old mechanical HDD even though he had an SSD, and one or two other issues you would expect to see from a novice PC builder. I sorted all that out and ran furmark for a while since he had said it crashed during games and it didn't crash or have any issues with furmark, so I let him know and he came to pick it up. About 3 weeks later he contacted me and told me it crashed again, so I told him to bring it back. This customer actually lives about an hour away and I'm not really sure why he decided to have me do the service since he could definitely have found someone more local, so he wanted to try some stuff on his own before driving out again. I told him if he brought it back I might end up doing an RMA on the motherboard, so he went ahead and replaced the motherboard himself, as in bought a new one and did not do an RMA, and replaced the PSU. The new board didn't post at all. He tried a different CPU he pulled out of his friends PC and it didn't work either. The customer at this point has a B550 board and a Ryzen 3600, and his friends CPU that he tried was a 1700X, which of course he did not tell me so I didn't know what CPU he had tested with. (1700X is not supported by B550 even though it's the same socket) Turned out he had also neglected to hook up an extra 4pin power connector on the mobo, and his PSU was modular so he had to get me the cable. Hooked up the cable, still no post. At this point I decided to ignore the list of thing he told me he had already tried and just started testing everything from scratch. Eventually I swapped his 3600 with the 3600 I have in my second PC and my CPU worked in his PC while his CPU did not work in mine, so finally we knew the CPU was the issue. At the point he brough the PC back it had been a while and he had replaced enough of his parts (against my recommendation) that it was basically a different PC so I would have to charge him again. When we started talking about replacement CPU prices, I suggested he go for a 16 thread CPU instead of the 3600 so it would last throughout the PS5 era. He was interested, and I quoted him some prices on used parts. He then asked me if I could bring the price down so I offered to give him a discount if he gave me the old motherboard he replaced that still works (B450) and the dead 3600 CPU. He gladly agreed and was excited at the offer. I gave him $70 off total for both, and I have already gotten and RMA approval for the 3600 so I will be able to resell both the mobo and CPU for full used resell value, he gets to pay less, and he's taking my 3700X while I swap that out to a 5800X for myself. I feel kinda bad that he had to bring it back, but if he had been local that would have been a non-issue. Not only that but a bad CPU is usually the most annoying thing to diagnose, and rare to cause issues, so typically I'd try everything else first. Just thought that was kind-of an interesting rant. If anyone wants a used 3600 or B450 mobo, let me know!

Do you also plan on advertising the site, not as in ads on the site but as in advertising to attract more users?

Yea I have that. I was thinking that "wishlist" was the section for that but I see now that it's all there in the classified section.

Looks like the section to post things were looking to buy and not sell is locked, or at least it is for me.

I wonder if this could someday be used to have faster communication with spacecraft/rovers, maybe even control rovers on mars in real time.

The X3D is pretty crazy expensive. $500 for the 5800X3D vs $300 for the 5800X. Only a $100 upgrade to go to the 5800X, would be $300 for the X3D. Definitely not worth it, especially not at 4K. Woulda been cool bragging rights though. Considering no games really need more than a 3700x in 4K, I feel like the 5800X is bragging rights already.

If you use 4096 res or go above 100% with an in game resolution slider then you are downscaling, not upscaling. DLSS is upscaling. Rendering above native is downscaling.

NVM, customer decided he wants to go with a used 3700x... which I happen to have... so I guess I'm going to sell him mine and upgrade to the 5800x. Wasn't planning on upgrading my CPU but the customer wants to go this route anyway, so I just have to pay the difference which is about $100. Still not really sure it's worth it just to get a bit more IPC, but it's a done deal now.
