Also I'm not sure on the second hand hardware comments. Sure it's cheaper but ever since the crypto mining hype I think used GPUs in particular are risky.

Even without the crypto hype there still is this "fix" for GPUs where once they already produce purple artifacts and cause crashing (the card being effectively on the brink of it's live time) you'd stuff it in the oven at a certain temperature and the card would work again. Unfortunately the fast majority of the time it only lasts for a couple of weeks or months before you get artifacts and crashing again.

How would you want to know someone didn't do that with his card before selling it on ebay?
I have bought, used, and resold numerous preowned video cards and rarely came into issue with any of them. Those that have artifacts, yeah you're done eventually. However, there is nothing to be afraid of buying from trusted sites. For instance, buying off of Reddits /r/hardwareswap under Paypal's "Goods & Services" I've never been screwed from buying any hardware. I have over 50 trades there and the literally couple that I did have issue with Paypal refunded me my money.

I'm currently on an Asrock RX 7900 XT Taichi that I bought off Facebook (now that's risky) and over a year later I'm golden Ponyboy. It's one thing if you're not comfortable buying used if you don't know how to spot things or diagnose issues, but if you do, it's a no brainer to get stuff on the cheap when you can to further your build.

I so miss me standing inside Microcenter with flipflops, sweatpants, and a jacket waiting for FedEx/UPS to drop off GPU Shipments. (Fun fact: Was told they were not getting shipments anymore for the day when I got my card last year. Was leaving when I watched the FedEx guy walk in with the boxes, and I just turned around)

Just dust the case and/or adjust the fan curves. They're loud cause it's dirty.
I second cleaning the PC. Dusted out my case a week or so ago and noticed that some tasks that previously made the fans ramp up audibly it now doesn't at all or way later.

If you have some sort of compressor for air blowing you don't need to disassemble much, just take the sides and all dust guards off. If you want to be cautious make sure the fans don't rotate as it produces current and cheap fans save money by leaving out protection measures.

Some people also do it with canned air although I don't know for how many appliances one can lasts.

Just make sure to do it outside.


Last I think it's fair to mention that, at least with a compressor, you'll most likely get condensed water into your PC. I've cleaned my machine several times that way and didn't have issues. Always made sure to spray a good bit on the side panels after I was done with the machine so I could make sure the water was evaporated before I plug the PC back in.
It's apparently indeed none conductive, as they teach in school, but it still feels sketchy.

I picked up one of these things and it's absolutely amazing. As a vacuum it works great, but it also has nozzles to turn it into a high pressure air nozzle. It's drastically better than those CO2 cans.
I also found this at Costco for about $40 few weeks ago. This brand impresses me a lot. I have several small power tools from them now.

My short review of the new season of Euphoria: softcore porn starring Sydney Sweeney and Co.

The last episode grossed me out and I had to stop watching. Not something I thought I'd say.

It's definitely gone down, but can't say grossed out for more than like 20 seconds lol

It was more interesting in highschool. Now they're just in search of a way to keep making more instead of telling the story.

...it also feels really dated. Fent and onlyclams and sugarbabies.

They had to invoke contract clauses to make everyone come back for season 3, plus they had an actor die. No one wanted to be there and it shows. The Boys is spiraling too, but thankfully, Shadowlord is incredible and Daredevil is solid.

Its something like a single currency or token to use for all the different things tomestones give or do now.

Didn't watch just following the thread on GameFAQs. I will read all about it tomorrow.

I am baffled at how many people, to this day, still think the word order matters for the password door in Castle Oztroja.

You can enter the words in any order. It does not matter which word is first. I still have people adamantly tell me I'm wrong about this. It's confounding.
