  1. So, I noticed @firedfly was going to pass me in 1.4 days, so I hit the gas! Eat my dust, for now. I think I'll go ahead and pass @axipherbefore I shut some off.
  2. So, I noticed yesterday that my 960 had failed 7 wu's at some point, so I thought about it real hard, and I came up with I forgot to turn on the exhaust fan when I closed the case back up after finishing the A/C ?, so the hot air in the case was probably building up. Oops!
  3. Yeah, I got the power for it all in 4k max it seems. I didn't notice any problems on the 3080ti, but my monitor only does 60 fps in 4k.
  4. Honestly, I got through the tutorial, started a flight from chicago to columbus. Flew for a bit. Got bored. Flew up to 12,000 and nose dived as fast as I could until it told me my air speed was too high.
  5. You're fine because you can say Titanium and he can only say Platinum. Who cares if the load % is about the same.
  6. Banned for not answering fast enough on Discord ETF UI
  7. Oh man, we have a new champion who has successfully quad-posted! ?
  8. I own my Wife, but I don't own my Mom, yet. So, only my Wife's GPU, duh! ?

    I guess I should follow the forum time zone primarily in the future because it's going to confuse people at some point lol
  10. It's not really the sole purpose, but it's a top need because I've had all of the GPU's folding since yesterday night, and 3, maybe even 4 are choked on either 3.0 or 2.0 on my x370/1700x. They are the 1070's and 1080tis. Maybe the 3070 too. I tried moving my 3070 over to my x570/5800x PC in the x16 slot #3, but I could not get it to run with my 3080ti in slot 2 and 3080 in slot 1. Literally, if I had the 3070 plugged in, the 3080ti would not load. If I unplugged it, the 3080ti would load. The MSI Meg x570 Ace is an expensive board that the manual says nothing about this being a limitation. Slot 1 and 2 are CPU and slot 3 is x570. I have 1 m.2 in my CPU m.2 slot. the other 2 m.2's are empty and the x1 slots are as well. I did play with all of the PCI bios options trying to find a suitable combination to load all 3. Also, unplugged the psu as the manual stated for VGA swapping.
  11. Hmm, maybe I can beat @Bastiaan_NLwith real hardware I own this month I put ocn fat up before ehw fat and this thread's already way busier than theirs. @ENTERPRISEcan you add it to the carousel please?

    Dang, 22nd UK time?
  13. Hey guys, I'm at least looking for 1 motherboard to attach to my Spotswood Custom Bench and run f@h at full tilt on my GPU's. My plan is to liquidate the GPU's on the bench currently on eBay at the inflated prices to collect capital to help purchase the bajillion EVGA notifies I have coming up soon. I'm going to be utilizing my Best Buy Credit Card for 0% so I can keep my liquid funds available for the GPU purchases. If you see something else on Best Buy I should be considering, please let me know. It seems like I'd be saving some money by going with 11th Gen Intel. I haven't really had the time yet to research the variances between it and AMD as far as PCI-E lanes are concerned, but if you know this has limitations vs AMD current gen, please let me know. 1) https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-prime-z590-a-socket-lga-1200-usb-3-2-intel-motherboard/6452561.p?skuId=6452561 which has 3x x16, 3x m.2. $279.99 2) https://www.bestbuy.com/site/gigabyte-b550-aorus-pro-ac-am4-usb-3-1-amd-motherboard-with-wifi-black/6420397.p?skuId=6420397 which has 3x x16 and 2x m.2 $199.99 3) https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-mpg-z590-gaming-edge-wifi-socket-lga1200-intel-motherboard/6455359.p?skuId=6455359 which has 3x x16 and 3x m.2 $329.99 4) https://www.bestbuy.com/site/gigabyte-z590-ud-ac-socket-lga-1200-usb-3-2-intel-motherboard-with-rgb-lighting/6454643.p?skuId=6454643 which has 2x x16 and 3x m.2 $209.99 5) https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-z590-a-pro-socket-1200-usb-c-gen-2-intel-atx-motherboard-pcie-gen-2/6455363.p?skuId=6455363 which has 2x x16 and 3x m.2 $189.99 I don't need a big CPU, but I do want PCI-E 4.0, so I was looking at: 1) https://www.bestbuy.com/site/intel-core-i5-11400-11th-generation-6-core-12-thread-2-6-to-4-4-ghz-lga1200-locked-desktop-processor/6452218.p?skuId=6452218 $189.99 2) https://www.bestbuy.com/site/amd-ryzen-5-5600x-4th-gen-6-core-12-threads-unlocked-desktop-processor-with-wraith-stealth-cooler/6438943.p?skuId=6438943 $299.99 There are more boards, I just put these ones in my cart to review later, but losing SATA slots when PCI-E is in use is not a big deal at all to me. I've only read 2 of the motherboard manuals so far, but that was common on the z590 boards. What I have not tested is m.2 slots at x4 on 3.0. I have a feeling those would bottlekneck anything at or above a 3080? Should I really be looking at server boards instead? If everything's planning to be current gen GPU's, it seems like I should be, but the cost appears to go way up. My Notifies:

  15. Hi, just posting to break it more. You're welcome.
  16. I used to never get any good GPU's, and then I did, and too many. Even sold the Stang for GPU's.
  17. Cat Toy for the kitten my Wife left Bingo with and brought home on Wednesday. Her name is Lana Del Stray, and she guards my Office.
  18. Oh. Canada. How did you manage to get there on time? @axipherneeds to hear this.
