  1. The funny thing is for some reason, I can't clock my 4090 higher than about 2940MHz or close to/over 3000MHz in Linux folding or it will lock the machine up. However, in Windows I can do 3090MHz in most games and benches, and the highest I can do is 3135MHz for Superposition. So nothing wrong with using Windows, but I have done 36m points (my record) in a single day in Linux with the clocks I mentioned (2955 max) I always forget about your guys crazy power costs because of the goddamn war. Makes perfect sense. We pay 6c per kWh. About 0.06 euro. Looks good aside from not having an active work unit in fahcontrol. Why, is it not grabbing one?
  2. Running a 4090 OC'ed in Linux, and a MSI 3060 Ventus on Win10 in my fiancees machine. If you're running a 4090, 3090 and 3070ti you will do very well and beat me for sure. By the way, what inspired you joining the foldathon? I've been doing them since January 2023 and never seen you in one. It's great that you're joining the cause and with a lot of punch.
  3. Sound test of the keyboard for my cousin. Keychron K8 Pro Kailh Box Jades WASD blue o-rings Cat themed keycaps (forget the brand)
  4. I know the pain of melting psu cables well too XD Between you, Nbrock, Flux, and Avacado it will be a tough competition for me. But if you're running those cards you showed as well as a 4090 you'll be out of my league.
  5. This is so true. Not only have I also developed a tolerance to the pain from always being in it, but what you said about keeping yourself busy or engaged in something is extremely important, as then you focus on a game or a show or whatever instead of how bad you hurt. My family always encourages me to do stuff, and a lot of times I don't listen.
  6. I really think we need a lmao reaction for funny things. or Thanks E
  7. Keyboard for my cousin completed. Before and after. Doesn't need to be added, but it's a Keychron K8 Pro with Box Jades and WASD blue o-rings. She's a huge cat lover and has two kittens, hence the keycap set.
  8. I ordered a Raspberry Pi composite cable that plugs into the headphone jack, for the purpose of hooking it up to my CRT tv for arcade games (because they look terrible on a 77" OLED). It took some manual editing of config files. note to anyone doing this: use an adapter and plug in your SD card to your PC and edit /boot/config.txt. I'm using retropie, and going to the command line with a keyboard on the actual Pi, even with "sudo su" the boot drive doesn't appear to be mounted. It took a while of banging my head against the wall with the CLI on the pi before editing it in my pc made it work. Anyway, in addition to my consoles we can now do TMNT, X-Men, Windjammers (serious business that game) as well as Cave and Raizing/Eighting games like e.s.p.rade, Dodonpachi Daioujou, Ketsui, Espgaluda, Armed Police Batrider, Battle Garegga and more. Video quality is not the best and kind of blurry, but it works and the cable was only $8.
  9. Yeah I can see that lol He's not a construction worker or anything like that, he lives in a large house cheaply with a ton of roomies, they are working (but only on the weekends) on getting him a proper finished room. All his stuff including his pc I built him is in storage atm. He has enough space for a few things like his tv and PS4, but that explains the background (he's living in an unfinished side room).
  10. So I showed the store front and the T-shirt designs to my younger brother, and he liked my design enough to order one: He loves it. It took three weeks to get, and last I saw him he said he didn't have it yet and was worried, then it showed up like the next day lol.
  11. Thought I'd share one of my biggest treasures, Detana!! Twinbee for PC Engine (aka Turbografx 16) it is a vertical shoot em up but aka "cute em up" as it's very lighthearted and cutesy in style. There's a 9 lives code too and my fiancee and I have cleared it on the PC Engine Core Grafx a couple times. Still has the plastic covering it came with from the store. The back. Unfortunately some scratches on the case. The inside. Complete with manual, game advertisement pamphlet, registration card, and sticker sheet. Close up of sticker sheet. Twinbee PC Engine CIB PCE Complete Turbo Duo Grafx US SELLER WWW.EBAY.COM All in pictures There's one like mine. About $115.
  12. So this came today: Made a pot in our Plebeian Cuisinart drip machine: This coffee (Stereo Echo) is excellent and one of the best, if not the best unflavored coffees I've ever had. It blows Kicking Horse out of the water. I used a flat spoon and a heaping spoon of sugar (spoon is pretty small) and about half the amount of milk I usually use. It has a great, very strong and rich coffee taste upon hitting the tongue and drinking it, and notes of cocoa shells and chocolate after you swallow. I love it but it was $30 for a bag so it will have to be a luxury and used infrequently. Though some of my teas that we re-buy cost that much or more. Thanks so much for the recommendation and man, after two cups of that I'm wired
  13. Yeah, I think those clear or semi-translucent keycaps are probably not PBT and maybe not even ABS. I've never used ones like that before, but am unsurprised to hear that they break. I'll mention again that I have a set of YMDK keycaps that are PBT and I've had them since 2019 at least, possibly earlier. They held up well and none of them broke. Using blue O-Rings on them as well. XVX is also a good keycap brand. Though, they seem to go by a couple different names, unsurprisingly for a Chinese company on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/stores/HITIME/page/808737FD-D838-4E23-A2A5-526F35EDB949?ref_=ast_bln You'll see them referred to as XVX, SDYZ, and on their store page I linked, Hitime. This link should go directly to keycaps: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/983981B9-9351-42A7-B369-F5129824FA50?ingress=2&visitId=1e1d6486-0797-4b83-b737-4f4805c456a1&ref_=ast_bln Just search for XVX keycaps on Amazon and you'll see a ton of options. I've used XVX as well as YMDK. Here's my last board with two tone retro themed XVX PBT keycaps.
  14. The espresso looks amazing. Also, the tea I mentioned is actually not chai at all, it used to be called vanilla pu erh back in the day. Like 6 years ago or so now they renamed it to vanilla mint chai. However, it is pu erh tea (aka red tea) that is similar to black tea but not black tea. It has Pu Erh, cinnamon, vanilla bean, mint, and cocoa shells. It tastes most strongly of cinnamon. So fair warning there if you're allergic to cinnamon or anything. This is not a real chai because that comes from India and there are many styles and blends of it, whereas Pu Erh tea is Chinese and this is an artisan herbal blend from a Chinese tea master. If you want good chai, get Cameron's masala chai. That is a real chai and what I'm drinking every day 90% of the time lately. It's here but not available atm and hasn't been for at least two months. We get it at a grocery store that has loose leaf Cameron's tea in bins that you can put in a bag and pay by weight. (Maybe search around on Google for any place to get their chai in a grocery store or market near you.)
  15. Any way old games are made accessible now is a good thing.
  16. Hey @Slaughtahousedo you ever drink tea besides your london fog tea? I highly recommend Rishi vanilla mint chai aka vanilla pu erh. Try the 1/4lbs. option. Its loose-leaf so you'll need a tea ball, but I make it in a french press. Also, it's not great on it's own- you're going to need honey for it too. We get ours in a big thing at Costco. Thought I'd bring it up for you to possibly try since I'm trying the Stereo Echo. This is the one I make or suggest to people who say they don't like tea, lol.
  17. So it's going to be a while, but I am doing yet another build as a surprise for my cousin. Currently she has a Cooler Master TKL with unbranded Red switches at home, and at work she has my old Corsair K70 Lux with MX reds in it. I figure it's time she had a real keyboard, so we bought: Keychron K8 Pro white, RGB with aluminum Redqin Cat Graffiti keycaps WASD blue o-rings Kailh Box Jade switches Total was $233. She'll be getting a real keyboard now, lol.
  18. Here's mine: Logitech z-2300 circa 2007. 2.1 THX certified. Got it on eBay for about $80 in 2008 or 2009. It's 200w total- 120w to the 8" sub and 40w per satellite. Thing is great for gaming and good for music, but for music I have my other stereo that's 500w. Sometimes I play music on the Logitech while doing graphic design.
  19. That won't happen with those, but be gentler when you put them on maybe and you won't crack the stem.
  20. Are you talking about double shot shine through keycaps not lasting? https://www.amazon.com/stores/YMDK/page/9C606D0B-C257-4976-AD49-2D0F8F1C19CD?ref_=ast_bln Go there and search for keycaps. YMDK is cheap and pretty reliable over time. I have a set from them that I've had for at least 5 years and they're like new. They also have a ridiculous selection of colors. Hope this helps.
