    Im still mining, profits are down but for 150 of power I still get around 650-800, in fact it paid for the bundle. Im mostly in it for the long haul, while it did save me a bit here and there having a nest egg, I'd like to have it pay for my student loans at least in some meaningful chunk of it, so while everyone screams the end is nigh I'll just keep chugging along. My MSI RTX 3080 seemed to have blown a cable, luckily still works but i need to clear the burnt plastic before I put it back to work.

    Yeah the only thing on the bundle that I will probably swap out is the RAM, but i assume you got these for benchmarking. I'll see what my kit can do after that but they were purchased with the 2700x in mind, they are 3200Mhz XMP so who knows, time will tell. Im thinking of taking the pedestal-esque approach mostly due to how I want to have it right next to the window, essentially running the room in negative pressure so that I can keep mining through the summer. Also, the starting frame work I have in mind is perfect for it. It will be interesting to be running a watercooled portion of the desktop that I personally use, but keep everything else air cooled. The money will go where it really counts, and I will be primarily using anything I have on hand first before buying more stuff. Just my nature. Do you guys have any good fan controllers that are externally powered in mind?

    I have been looking around a bit today but sadly it looks to be that no one manufactures this type of radiators? I dont have my ear to the ground on this genre anymore like I had maybe 10 years ago, is 2x92mm the best I can find? Thanks in advance EDIT: The reason I ask about 92mm is because I have access to maybe a dozen or more Dell Precision 92mm fans and they move quite a bit of air when maxed, more importantly, they are free lol.

    We already get this when we disable driver signing, now it's there to remind you don't measure up :/

    Is that tubing meant to appear frosted? I must admit I kind of like that appearance. I have been having difficulty determining how I am going to build things out after having moved into a new house. I may end up keeping one of the Dell workstations for VM practice and things of that nature. The main issue at hand is not wasting this wonderful opportunity that Mr. Fox has allowed to fall my way. It would be such a waste to have that bundle work only for mining. For now I would like for this to replace my laptop as the daily driver, increase my mining potential, increase my storage for plex and also of course, some gaming! Probably be one of my 5700xt's until I find something more proper like a 6xxx that doesn't do as well for mining. This little project will likely take place before summer is in full swing. Because of what I want to consolidate its not going to to be pretty (because I'm a cheapskate) but it will do what I want it to (hopefully).

    It's going to be a little while yet before I have the time to fully engage that little project. Need to make a few more purchases as well since a majority of my parts are from Dell stations which are all proprietary. Once I have everything ill make a bit of a build log and we can have some fun then :) promise!

    280mm and 3 slot GPU's ? Sounds like a match made in heaven! Really the main issue I take with my TU150 is the glass window. Purchased it before I knew there was a vented variant.

    I just wanted to leave a little mark of history that seems to be whittling away with time. I never knew Syrillian personally, only by his work. He was quite gifted with tools and acrylic. He had quite a resume of interesting mod projects that used to be hosted over at Overclock.net. From I had seen he seemed to be quite a nice fellow, with a keen sense of creativity. Not to mention, iirc, he was quite jacked! Sadly cancer took what was previously the picture of health and whittled him down until nothing remained. Syrillian had already passed when I learned of who he was, but his effect on me has been long lasting. Syrillian was the catalyst to what little I had contributed in the world of custom modifications, and why I still on occasion dabble in the space. While I wont reach the same heights, its important to pay respect where respect is due. Thanks mate, for what you contributed to your community while you were present, and for the legacy you left behind.

    Correct, as we have asked both publicly and privately to simply PM the keys and all is resolved. I had a productive conversation with Ryan before so its quite disheartening seeing this new development.

    Keep it clean folks

    Long day

    Started my second playthrough of God of War, increased the difficulty and doing another run. :) The game was pretty good, I enjoyed it. Hopefully the next one is a bit longer
  13. Reciever
    I did want one, so a little bummed out on that note. Hopefully it actually delivers otherwise FX-9590 memes will have a field day.

    I like the AW13 R3 more than this and that laptop sat on a shelf for about a year before I sold it. I still debate getting another one from time to time, but more so the lower end model just for the purpose I tend to put in place for that hypothetical system. I still wish it had no GPU and came with a 7820hk instead.

    For a long time I really wanted to run my own SCHThack server for PSOBB. I still have most of the files on one of my systems. Maybe we can host it if I can nag at @Hiew long enough to make him concede to my demands hahaha :D I did like PSO2 though, I think we stopped playing mostly because the middleman client we were using at the time stopped working (before steam release).

    Time to get some Linux guides for the forum 😄

    I stick with my RSX and removed the seats, started cutting weight. 35-40 fills my tank but even then right now I am carpooling to work and back. Last movie I watched was Return of the King (extended)

    Welcome to a new Rabbit hole!

    There have been many times where the consumer is the butt of the joke when Tech Demo's allow for hype to grow. Nearly anything Ubisoft is guilty of that, but the consumer is also just as guilty for buying into a product that never existed. Im not sure there will be much buy-in on the matrix game, the movie is basically a full-blown middle finger to Hollywood exec's at the consumers expense. There are a lot of people who were pretty miffed at the movie for various reasons, so unless the game has a compelling campaign to shine past that then it may be a hard sell. I hope it does well as the efforts of those developing it should be rewarded based on their efforts and not solely judged on the work of others in other mediums.

    Completely fair conclusion. Very true the screenshots viewed here are under controlled scenarios (or at least from what I can recall)
  21. Reciever
    The first hour you are barely past the montage of getting acclimated with Night city. Let alone any NPC of note beyond Jackie. Comparing UE5 Tech Demo's to anything in practice is basically the basis of what is known as a mal-formed comparison.

    An issue that both games inhibit is game save corruptions and/or broken scripts for progressing a particular mission. Happy to learn about that beforehand so I backed up my game save to which I did end up having a save profile get corrupted maybe half way through

    We have added a better note, so when you see that link now it will provide some context. We are making some preparations to make the domain change but also taking the opportunity to lower some costs. Naturally that means making sure things run just as well as before we make that the live instance.
  24. Reciever
    We didnt save much from there as it didnt seem pertinent to chase that content down under the limited time we had.
  25. Reciever
    I think its mostly because in the sequences those were taken its in a controlled manner, mostly lighting (I think). Especially with the premier characters in the game. The game is far from perfect, but because who was devving it and the inclusion of Reeves as Silverhand likely sent hype through the roof. On my first play through I cracked up laughing quite a bit doing the side mission helping that family member "get justice", when I was chasing the police car, another car on the overpass fell over and when it hit the ground the car exploded. It wasnt a fire explosion it was like a dozen cars spawned from a single point and blew into every direction. Most hilarious session I had in a while
