Personally I prefer either a plain cotton tee or a tri-blend type. I'll have to go back, sounded like your current printing didn't work with those? That and the dry-fit types are not very flattering if you got some jelly rolls like me.

Can't say I've ever gotten that itch.

Agreed. It has nothing to do with the weight. It's the material. Some of us just don't like the "dri-fit" style t-shirts. I'm definiteyl with Cerberus on that.

Doubt it. The move from 40-series to 50-series also sees a move to GDDR7 which will have better bandwidth/speed, and again will also see a larger L2 cache. I mean I could be totally wrong about the 5090 and they might go all out on it, but the rest of the stack? Probably going to mirror the 40-series a ton in terms of 256-bit and 192-bit products in the 80 and 70 tiers.

I still really doubt the 512-bit rumor for a consumer product in the GeForce stack. But who knows, Nvidia could decide $2500 is the way to go and 512-bit gives them more vram capacity until higher density GDDR7 modules come out. For now their density is the same as GDDR6X (2GB per module).

Memorial Day sale at Crandall Office Furniture. Wife's turn for a Steelcase Leap v2 chair, she opted for the Brisa vinyl on hers. Deal was good for 11% off.

Yep I also don't use drilled or slotted nonsense. Been pretty happy with the Bosch rotors and pads I put on 2 summers ago. Will have to let me know how the Centrics treat you.

Yeah. Totally fine for my bench system, but I would never use this in my daily.

This 13900KS I was playing with was pumping 450W +!

Sound like me. I went from my 4790k to the 5900X.

This close to Zen 5 / Arrow Lake, I totally agree that it makes sense to just wait.

Yep! Yeah Aurora tends to be one of those places everyone makes fun of. Southern Aurora is ok. Denver has kinda not been great either to be honest lately.

As someone who has lived in Colorado since I was 8, I sometimes complain about the dry air...until I go somewhere humid.

Extremely common practice. Mine is anything under $50 is my problem. Which is fine. It's typically been stuff I accidentally broke anyway like a toilet seat, or something.

This isn't the first time AMD has tried just focusing on the "sweet spot" market. It's not a bad thing per se as that segment needs some love, but big picture it never pans out well for the consumer in the grand scheme of things. This is when Nvidia gets emboldened to further raise prices and cut corners because who is there to challenge them and promote price wars? And AMD has easily shown (at least on launch) that they will just slot into whatever pricing structure Nvidia creates. We can pretend it's not a thing, but what happens at the high end / halo part of a product stack every gen absolutely influences the rest of the stack, consumer perception of a brand, etc. To me this just screams more AMD falling behind because they don't want to pump resources into graphics to truly compete with Nvidia here. That's not good for anyone.

5900X here. I don't need 16 cores, or really even the 12. I'm thinking next upgrade for me will be Zen 5. Thinking a 9800X3D. I definitely don't want any split CCD X3D like they did with the Ryzen 9 sku's with Zen 4.

Those seem kinda ridiculous. I think I'll just stick with Gen 3 or 4 drives for now. To me, having heatsinks with little fans on them that are that big is approaching the realm of absurdity with how I would want to approach on-board storage.

I went out to go see the aurora and was disappointed. Got the wrong one.

Nothing here sadly. Been largely cloudy and rainy the past couple of nights.

I mean should hopefully be fine, in fact I think @Avacadohas a video on here he called "poor mans radiator flushing" or something where he hooked it up to a sink. Just the way he commented on the rad was thinking maybe a Blitz cleaning was in order.

Well in that case, I'm going to suggest you do it properly with a Blitz kit @pio.

I should really read the whole post before I look at pics. I was trying to figure out how the camber plates were supposed to mount to the motherboard.
