In hindsight, this thing was going out a few months ago.

Started to get WHEA BSOD on my overclocks. I upped the voltage a bit and started get them more.

Went to the mobo overclock and it got even worse.

So the power delivery wasn't up to snuff.

Should've noticed this earlier. It was like I was willfully ignorant.

Caps going out in PSUs are crazy. I've opened up things like contained speakers, laptops, etc and caps are blown but damn thing functions nearly perfectly.

What's the best shooter for getting into shooters if you've never played them much?

my suggestion is play the CoD: Mobile emulator on PC. it plays very similar to a nor Call of Duty game but it plays slower. it should help develop your basic WASD/Mouse skills.

I've gone balls deep in a new hobby--fishkeeping. Almost as expensive as PCs.

Yep, all good. Mostly lurking, just haven't been gaming much other than a recent short-lived obsession with planet coaster. And hollow knight before that.

Time to step up your SBC game.. I bet they have a lot of cool projects for monitoring, maintenance and automation of the systems(s). Reef-Pi is a popular solution I've come across often while browsing builds. It seems to have a good bit of support, so a lot of kitty code out there to grab.





FYI - We are back in the early 2000s. AMD > Intel CPUs for gaming, and.. everything else.

Glad to see you post!

Buying a new GPU, is the 2070 Super worth the 25% more compared to the 5700 XT?

ETA: I'm buying a 1440/144hz monitor pretty soon also, so I'm trying to figure out which would be better for that.

It has a 10+ FPS advantage in PUBG, so if that's worth more to you then I would go for it

Yeah, I watched some more benchmark videos and decided on the 2070.

Now, things will really get into the weeds when I buy a new CPU. AMD vs. Intel is going to be very hard to decide.
