My Awards

  1. Pairs well with the tri-SLI
  2. Honestly this is good to hear and I look forward to seeing what next gen parts from Intel will do. The enthusiast PC space is beginning to get very interesting again and I am fully onboard with it. My buddy's got an A750 that he modded for more power and better cooling and it appears to be a stellar performer for the $220 it cost him. Could be one of the better value cards out there at the moment. And seems to have only gotten better as driver support from Intel has matured. Very interesting and looking forward to seeing how things progress.
  3. You might need to run modded drivers like the Nimez radeon drivers for it to work. I had a K53TA-BBR6 asus laptop back in the day with crossfireX running on the APU and the dedicated card. Was a neat bit of technology when it worked; sadly many games did not support dual graphics mode even back when it was popular.
  4. That's pretty neat! Wonder what kind of battery life it has off the plug with that size cell and the super efficient ryzen chip it's got.
  5. The price hurts a little but they are excellent quality products so it's worth it in the long run. I've still got my iPPC 2500rpm 140mm fan from years back running in my NAS box; been probably 6 year of 24/7 use and it still runs like new.
  6. I only have Sim City and Buster Bust's loose on the SNES at the moment. When I was a kid I mostly played Super Mario Brothers. On the DSi I have loaded the .rom's for Pokemon Black & Diamond, as well as mario kart DS.
  7. I've got an SNES and a little nintendo DSi. Not much for games yet but the DSi has been modded to accept .rom's loaded via the SD card slot.
  8. Throwing in a recommendation for Lorex or Reolink brand cameras. Been nothing but happy with mine and they are very easy to use and configure with third party software or control. I'm currently running a wireless Reolink 1440p camera above my garage and the quality has been superb for the price, especially so with the night visibility which is what matters most in my neighborhood.
  9. Well if the purported specs from the prior leaks turns out to be true this should be a powerhouse of a card. I remember not too long ago we would have sold a kidney to achieve such insane levels of performance, and now days you can just walk into a microcenter and buy a high end card off the shelf. Pretty long ways we've come since I got into the hobby. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the lineup for 5000 series looks like; the only thing I know for certain is it will be pricey.
  10. Forgive my double post but I'm excited I don't get new tools too often these days. Got a new floor jack for $99 on sale at HF. And with the old ones
  11. Some days it just feels like it's not your day. On the lexus I came outside this morning to find a flat tire. Hopefully you can pinpoint the issue without too much headache. Sounds a bit like it might be an alternator on the way out.
  12. Don't know if I've mentioned this before but one of my projects was a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid that I modded out pretty good. Returned me ~55mpg lifetime average with many trips closer to 70mpg. Found out it got better fuel economy the harder I drove it, and so I used to tear around town like I stole the thing. Was a blast to drive too. In the Honda hybrids they use a pancake electric motor bolted to the flywheel so if the car is moving the gas engine is running, the electric motor is just used as a torque adder. Bought the car for $3200, modded it out & drove the crap out of it for a couple years, then sold it later for $3500. Only had to fuel up once every couple weeks and I was running food deliveries daily for my job at the time. Years later I ended up having a ~2018 or so Toyota Prius as a company car and absolutely hated it. Drove nothing at all like my little lightweight tossable civic. I get why anybody that has driven a prius hates hybrids, it's just that not all of them are terrible like that. Just most of them. Heh. Edit: I pulled the HV pack and refurbished it myself. Replaced the one bad stick with a junk yard pullout stick. Made up a DIY grid charger so my car was technically a plug-in hybrid.
  13. Oh my I should have known. Ban cause you made my teeth blue lol
