Started a breeding project in my dining room -- fancy guppies, red cherry shrimp, and bristlenose plecostomus. All easy to breed, though my first batch of pleco babies all died mysteriously except for one. Cherry shrimp will make me the most money and they are breeding like crazy.

Got caught up in a conversation with strangers about "fish clubs" at a wedding in NO.

They were very passionate about their stocks.

Do you know about these "fish clubs"? Believe 2 of the 3 ppl in that convo are from around your area.

Ryzen OCing doesn't exist. Nothing makes sense.

I just OC'd RAM to 3400/1700 with 16-16-16-16-32 @ 1.375 and called it a day.

The 3900X is also the warmest CPU I've ever owned. Doesn't draw the most power, but thermals are poor compared to my Intel CPUs, but this is due to less surface area.

It doesn't get above 50C in games and benches but I have never seen my CPU within my main PC's loop get above 45C.

There is the southeast louisiana aquarium society. I think they do meet ups and auctions, but I'm just part of the Facebook group.

You would be at the top of the list for my apocalypse survival team before the "fish farming", now you might be the number 1 pick.

As long as it's not a zombie apocalypse. I can't run very fast.

I know this feeling. 4.4 all core is my daily OC and 4.5 is semi stable enough for benchmarks.

Hello all,
I've been on xbox since it first came out but I've recently started thinking about getting a PC. I know absolutely nothing about PC's, but the lack of titles in the xbox world is frustrating.

I've read through a few of the recent pages on this thread, but it's too many to go through the whole thing.

My budget will be around $1000. Can you recommend a complete package that wont require a lot of "building"...

TIA

I might try it out. I found a website that offers advice on products for different games and provides the fps for a complete package.

What's the lowest fps you can have but still have a good experience?

For me, 60 min. Your monitor and resolution will determine your build.

For a grand, you should be able to build for 60+/1080 pretty easily.

60 is still fine for most games.

But all depends on title, depends if you prefer eye candy and it doesn't mess with gameplay.

Framerate over 60 doesn't matter until high level competitive gaming.

Meaning your 144hz doesn't amount to shite playing fortnite against the general gaming community.

Black Cyclist, they just can't let us win at any sport!

You grew up riding MX? If so, do you remember the speed of James Stewart (Alligator Mouth)? That fcker was odd to see on the track being around all the rednecks. Only ever seen him as a kid in Nationals at Hurricane Mills.

That SOB could have won every race if he wanted to, he was that damn good.

Edt: He always reminded me of an alligator.

I don't totally agree, but yes frames over 60 aren't everything in most genres and even sometime fckk with the mechanics.

In most games I still rather take fidelity over frames.

Stupid question...what is fidelity in PC terms?

It could be different things since "fidelity" describes how close a reproduction is to the thing being copied, sorry I should have clarified. In this case I'm speaking of "graphical fidelity", how close the world on screen looks to the actual world.
