  1. Glad someone noticed Also glad it was the first thing that came up when I searched for "stripper song" because I couldn't remember the name and figured I might get a lot of random results
  2. A lot of my old stories rely on state dependent memory. So, due to the lack of drugs and/or alcohol I'm not not going to dive into much of those. In the spirit of being a weirdo, I did just dig out my old strip club veteran hat and a PBR. When I was maybe a sophomore in high school I dated a girl for a couple weeks. She got jealous of a one of my female friends (It was genuinely a platonic friendship) and dumped me. We did get back together briefly but it didn't work out. Fast forward a few years and she hits me up out of the blue. Says I should come see her at work. Turns out she had become a stripper. At that point in time being the frugal man I was, I had only partaken in such nightlife once or twice. Turns out it's a lot more fun when you get the VIP experience. AKA no cover charge, free drinks, free lap dances from all the other strippers that are her friends. Eventually my friends and I go from hanging out with all the strippers at the club, to hanging out with them at Miss Molly the ecstasy queen's house... I'll leave the rest up to imagination.
  3. Read the complete review HERE. What do we think of the MP600 GS 2TB PCIe 4.0 (Gen 4) x4 NVMe M.2 SSD, Good for the price ? But what about the absence of the DRAM, would this be a deal breaker for you ?
  4. Just tried it out. I went with 3840x1440 borderless window. DLSS enabled, DLSS mode balanced, ultra presets. I average around 37-45FPS depending on the level. That's with a custom loop 3090, 5900x, and 32GB of 3600cl14. The game looks good at those settings but not mind blowing. I was fully expecting to be able to do at least 4K60 on my setup when I first heard about Portal RTX.
  5. I've been playing around with the A770 a bit more. In addition to running a bit better with the new driver I did experience one other really nice change. RDP now works correctly!
  6. So I have a lot of electronics in my bedroom and it's all on the same circuit. The current PC in there is an i9 10850k with an RTX 2080. I want more GPU performance and to maintain decent CPU performance while overall using the same or less total electrical power draw. The setup I decided to go for is a 7700x in eco mode with a reference 6900xt with a mild undervolt. The current build uses an Inwin D-Frame Mini with a MO-RA3. So I was looking to just grab a B650 ITX board since I won't be doing anything crazy. And then I went to Microcenter... The only ITX board they had was the Asus X670E-I Strix. I really didn't want to drop $500 on a board. SO instead I bought an open box Crosshair X670E Gene for $360 Problem being that it wont fit in the D-frame. So I considered hitting up to see if Inwin was still cool to send out an A3 for review. In the meantime I hopped on BidFTA snagged this cheap ZZAW B3. Some Aliexpress special but hey an all aluminum case for $15, I'm not complaining. I tossed it together my Arc A770 and a Corsair SF600 Plat. It has a tempered glass side panel but Aside from a Wraith Stealth which I didn't even consider, the Thermalright True Spirit 120 REV.B Ultimate was the smallest air cooler I had laying around and it's too tall for the case. At this point I think the plan is going to move the 2080 into this build and watercool the system. After the new AMD GPUs release I'll finally try and snag a used 6900xt for cheap. Pick up a B650 ITX board for the 7700x and put it back in the D-Frame. Then Grab a 7900X3D for the Gene and use it as the test bench PC. Here's how it sits for now. I picked up one of the Barrow CPU blocks with the integrated DDC since there isn't any room to mount any of my D5 combos.
  7. Just tried and so far I can't get F@H to work with the Arc. Only detects CPU. When I go to slots and manually add a GPU it comes up as disabled.
  8. Y'all already know I'm in. Might not have all the firepower online by then. Pulling apart two rigs to rob parts to build my mom a PC, then upgrading those rigs. All of which are SFF/ITX rigs and two of the three will have custom loops so idk how fast I'll turn all that around. May just run the 7700x + A770 air cooled for a while but I'm pretty sure F@H doesn't support Arc yet.
  9. Ok, but can we have a rundown on what is in your torturer bag?
  10. They won't be that limited lol. Think more along the lines of participation award. For now I'm just talking about stickers of the existing logo. If I were to come up with something original, I'd run it by E for approval before making anything.
  11. Fine. I'll come up with a super limited run of stickers and/or vinyl decals. The catch is that I'll only offer them as foldathon prizes.
  12. I actually was interested in the O11 when it first came out. Most people went with the dynamic but they made an air version at one point. I held up hope the new PC v3000 would come out and eventually gave up and got other cases entirely.
  13. By the time I stop getting sent out of town for work and actually get time to play with the card it will run great
  14. Because I'm an idiot and like weird overpriced crap... I like running cases that not everyone and their sister has. I prefer thick aluminum vs stamped steel. I enjoy non standard layouts. When I help friends build PCs we go with cheaper cases because to them it's just the box that holds the parts.
  15. Unfortunately my mom sold her embroidery machine when she moved earlier this year. Could have made some cool stuff. I might just make or commission a small batch of stickers since those would be cheap to mail to everybody. I'll have to experiment a bit. I know at least one of the silhouette vinyl cutters works. I haven't touched my wide format photo printer in a couple years so it might be fubar from neglect lol.
  16. Thermalfake vs Caselabs... Usually starts off as a mild disagreement then goes off the rails
  17. I want stickers for my test bench... And possibly custom keycaps like on the old OCN Ducky boards.
  18. I can't hardly stand to browse r/watercooling anymore. Most of the builds are the same overdone crap. When people ask for advice 100 people come out of the woodwork to toss their 2 cents even if they have almost no experience. "buy EK mystic fog, it looks cool. Don't worry about the haters, I've had it in for 2 weeks and my system hasn't blown up yet".
  19. My main PC is still in an LD cooling case. Sadly mine is just the LD PC-V7 so just custom watercooling, no phase change. I used to have a 4790k and the same RAM that was used in this video as well.
  20. Not surprised that sales are down. Prices are still wack. After the holidays the demand will drop even further. AMD's cards will be out by then so hopefully it encourages Nvidia to drop prices a bit.
  21. Damn dude... You just got that thing back. Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM
  22. Crazy to see how far we've come on storage speeds/capacities. I still have a stack of old firelite external HDDs that I used to think were amazing (until USB 3.0 came out and everyone forgot about firewire lol).
