Oh interesting. Don't think I've ever had one of those, but I am also not really in technical roles anymore.

I had this one interview probably a decade ago when I was still in desktop support. The question wasn't even technical in nature. The manager asked something dumb about if certain trees only grew on the north side of the mountain because "reasons"? I don't recall the exact question unfortunately, but it was something like that. I just looked at him and said, is this the question where you want my answer to be "I don't know, I'll have to look it up?" because if not, then that is a weird question. Yeah I didn't get the job, but that was indeed the reason he asked it. I still think it was dumb. Better to ask me actual technically related questions and if you hit me with something I don't know, I'll tell you.

I've got some good flow going. Just cleaning it up to not be too verbose, and definitely have some more sections to write.

That's how I am viewing some of these new skus. Not great looking only within the lens of 5000-series, but are available and should be a nice drop-in upgrade for folks on older Ryzens.

100% agree. Nice to see.

Absolutely! Already got an order in to PPCs. Out of the in-stock options available, opted for the Alphacool block.

So update. I am trading my 3070 (full hash), waterblock, and one of my old 240 rads and some $$$ for an FE 3080 Ti.

I remember my old 9800 GT fondly.

Full TPU review here: TPU 5800X3D Review Personally I think I am happy I opted to just get the 5900X under $400 as 1440p relative performance difference between the two is 6.7% in favor of the 5800X3D, and out of the 10 gaming benchmarks shown, 2 show significant improvements for the 5800X3D (Far Cry 5, Borderlands 3), meanwhile, the other 8 seem marginal.

I don't feel bad opting for a cheaper 5900X.

Confirmed, images are working again!

OK, I took the thread titles for what it was, a joke, but does sort of invite that type of talk.

Oh I wasn't talking RGB, just the grays and blacks of their cards and me saying hey wait a minute, thought their name was "Colorful"?

That's always a bad idea.

You know...they need to live up to their name. I am not seeing a lot of color on those cards.

AMD really is missing the mark with some of these. Reminds me of the 6500 XT.

Huh, yeah I am seeing that now too.

I must say, I always have a chuckle when I see an ITX board installed in a full case!

Good luck.

Just an update. Got the o-ring kit in. Looks to be a 7x2mm o-ring. Maybe that helps someone in the future..

This is long erased from existence (was an old alpha version of game), this was my castle from 7 Days to Die.

A bit too big, unfortunately. Not by much, but just enough it didn't sit right in the groove for it. These appear to be an OD of 9 or 10mm. I am not sure on the ID. I decided to just put in an order for a metric set of o-rings and see if I can find one that works. Less than $10, so not a huge deal if it doesn't work out.

No, this is actually a great idea. I didn't even think about Harbor Freight. I have the other o-ring which is the same size still there, so that would be perfect.

Let's just say I was polishing up the acrylic and didn't notice when I apparently popped an o-ring off and proceeded to wash it down the drain (I already took the drain pipe apart to see if it was there and it was not). Don't suppose anyone might know what size o-ring this is around that screw area?
