Minor, can be ignored, and I'm probably the only one. More then once I have spent a good while looking for the save button after editing a post. I vote for a relable for my simple mind to something like "Save Edits" lol. I keep reading over "Edit Post" thinking I'm signing up to edit it again not save it.

So I have a nzxt case laying around. He already has peripherals. I think realistically all I need is a gpu/MB/CPU/Ram. I have SSDs, like what else is there been a while since I built a full computer lol. Assuming i'm correct (Pretty sure I am), the most demanding games the kid plays are poppy playtime and fortnite. He is turns 9 this year, so hes getting close to either turning the leaf to realing games or giving up gaming......So I want to get CPU/GPU combo that won't break the bank but can offer him more in teh futuer if he expands. He games at 1080p 100hz right now and that probably won't change for a while. Could I get a decent used combo for 500 USD or so and what would you guys look at? Or am I better off driving to a costo or microcenter and just grabbing a sub 1k prebuilt and ripping it apart, or leaving it alone to be honest. Money isn't an issue for what he needs, I just want to save a buck if I can since I really only need 3 components. But if buying him a more modern complete makes sense I can do that too.

My understanding is its a bitter deeper than this. I read an article that alleges that they were using developer openai accounts to link their models and just leech off and learn from the ai models. So they didn't have to train their models.

I wonder what kind of difference this chip would make for me without a GPU upgrade. I am also on 4k. I'm assuming a GPU upgrade with this chip is going to be in my future.

I'm intrigued for sure. I'm definitely going ryzen for my next build, don't think I have used AMD since before q6600 GO stepping was the thing lol. I think there is a perception thing that is clouding this. When ryzen came out AMD was not competitive at all so them releasing ryzen was amazing but if I remember correctly it was quite a bit behind the current Intel chips. Also had all the memory issues. The fact that intel is, well intel, I think there is some bias that they should release their first chiplet design with a new arch that also blows everything out of the water. Maybe I'm overstating the impact of their shift from monolithic cores but I feel like this should make us all happy as they dial this new plan in.

E, the fact that you got us here is something to be very proud of. I don't post as much as I did on our previous home when I was not a father, employee, or frankly and adult. But you have always fostered a great community focused on the right things. Sad news for sure but I wish you the best in everything and totally understand where your coming from, I couldn't do this. So thanks for everything friend, keep on trucking.

Can't help you but curious, I plan to do the same thing after the holidays. I was looking at the tachi's as well hah.

So perusing the article, this is Intel's version of a chiplet design right? Basically their Ryzen? I browsed the techspot article, I know understand that it doesn't redefine the world, but seems like a solid product considering the power reduction. Interested to see what intel squeezes out of this over time. I'm probably going ryzen for my new years build but who knows, maybe they do something by then.

So my plan is to build out a new computer sometime after the launch of the 5 series cards. My leaning right now is I will go for a 5090 and just be done for a few years for my needs. With that in mind, I'm looking for a new case for this build and I'm thinking I may want to go full tower instead of mid tower. My current Meshify 2 doesn't feel like it would have much room if any for any kind of add on card with a 5090 shoved into it haha. I don't necessarily need a full tower but here are my needs in priority order: Fit a 5090 (Understand we can't guarantee until we know its size) Quality (I know this is subjective, but I have not followed the case game in a long time) Primarily Air Cooled, Will most likely reuse my Arctic Frozer 360 but will definitely have an AIO for the CPU. Fit at least a sound card (this might be more Mobo driven, but my current board would struggle to fita sound card even with a 3080. I know the modern motherboards sound is okay, I just find how they handle switching between headphones and speakers to be annoying. Or I'm doing something wrong but my sound cards usually let me really have separate settings. Possibility of Watercooling one day. I'm not super worried about price but I'm not an extreme overclocker heck I barely overclock anymore. So while I appreciate quality, I probably also don't need anything special like a case labs. Edit: Hmm Fractal makes a XL version of the meshify..... The pop air xl looks pretty nice too.

I have had mechanical keyboards for years but they have always been your generic razer, das......whatever. Finally just finished up my first custom build a few weeks ago. QwertyKeys neo80 I thought they were Gateron Switches but I'm not sure now: Roller Linear Switches KBDFANS.COM ROLLER LINEAR SWITCHES The inspiration of the design is to capture a brand-new level of smoothness and minimize the stem wobble. It... GGMK Keycaps

Appreciate the responses. Its like it magically disappeared now hah. My goal is to forget I ever noticed anything. I think I'm going to downsize in the near future and go to the 42 assuming its not a worse TV and put this one somewhere else. I feel its a little too big.

I was wondering that as I did more reading. Well I can't take a picture now cuase its not doing it. But it seems like the pixel shift. There is like a very thin line where the screen just looks off. I'm not missing anything on the screen that I can tell. I notice the shift when it happens so I'll just keep on eye on it. I think its the first time I noticed and it was just jarring to me hah.

So I love this thing, but today I noticed that there is about a quarter inch on both sides that isn't utilized with my PC. I only noticed becuase a UI element of the tv was showing where I thought the screen ended haha. Is this normal due to aspect ratio or something? I tried googling but I failed to find anything. It only seems to be on the left side of the screen. Additionally I use two monitors with the secondary monitor being on the left of the LG. Edit 2: Its probably only an 1/8th of an inch and definitely only on the left side.

the one time a year I need to recall something important is not worth to me them taking screenshots of everything. I can see some dude sitting at a desk thinking this is great and will help people though, sucks to be those guys.
