    I'm pissed off that america broke my penis

    Bah, either way (cut/uncut)... they look the same when it matters.

     

    I would never advocate for doing it for no good reason though.

    I'm already PLENTY sensitive. So thats fine.

    Basically, you have to constantly stretch whats left and it causes new skin to grow...

    The younger you are the better.  I did research it like 10 years ago.  I know the new foreskin won't have the same sensitivity... but maybe the crown will heal over time... so it becomes more sensitive due to the moisture.

    So I want to try foreskin restoration. But its going to take QUITE a while, and a lot of effort. I don't know how well I can cling onto such a goal...

     

    Gah! I just want things to be simple :c

     

    What you would get is the piston action working better, you won't be getting the same sensitivity back.  It is worth looking into if it is appealing to you.  ...but damn the effort needed.

    So XT 600W vs. S12 II... S12 II wins? Is it more durable or something like that?
    I don't know much about this, :S

    The S12 has better components that are capable of running better than the XT when heat builds up.  Heat will cause cheap parts to degrade and eventually fail.  Cheap parts will also usually mean instability when the unit is being stressed.

     

    I mean, you can take a chance with the XT.  It might be totally fine, I would not though.

     

    I have an old PC with a 750 Ultra LSP.  It is not a high quality unit, but it has been running steadily for almost 7 years now.  My XFXPRO 750W PSU (Seasonic built) runs fine too (3.5 years).  :D

     

    I actually bought a Corsair CXM 550W as a back up recently... just in case one of the PSUs fail.

     

    @DaemonWarrior44  I should mention, MEC is right... the 520W S12-ii is cutting it pretty close.  The 12v rail used to power the GPU and CPU will provide 480W total, not 520W.  That is 40 amperes (amps) on that 12V rail.  40A x 12v = 480W

     

    It should still work fine.

    What do you have now in your system? Just curious...

    He's got an 850W because he was running two R9 290s, each drawing well over 200W.

     

    Here, a little extra just in case:  http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-659086877-fuente-modular-seasonic-m12ii-620w-evo-ed-80-plus-bronze-_JM

     

    If you want to take the chance with the 520W S12-ii, I think that will be fine as well.

    A good quality 550w will work fine, it just doesn't leave much headroom. Personally, I think about what I may want to run in the future and choose accordingly so I don't have to upgrade again later on. A good PSU these days can last you well beyond 5 years. Just thinking out loud... 

    I understand what you mean, but he is not going to pull much more than 450W at max system load.  lol, I have two PCs, each running 750W PSUs... each probably not even pulling half that.  This is because I was never sure, so I overdid it.

    @stconquest What do you think about these:
    https://www.precio-calidad.com.ar/catalogo/fuentes/?orderby=price&min_price=799&max_price=2198&per_page=36
    P.S: Prices are in ARS, and the filter is at the max that I can spend.

    The Seasonic 520W S12ii should be enough.  If you want a little more power for whatever reason... let's see...

    Well the biggest issue is the IHS plate is used by the motherboard mounting bracket to apply pressure to the CPU. When delidding the CPU you have to reinstall the IHS plate unless you expect the downwards pressure to come from the cooler. This is risky because the CPU die is a thin wafer of silicon. A type of glass. If pressure is applied unevenly the die can crack. Immediate dead CPU. Using the IHS plate replacing the thermal compound inbetween the CPU and IHS will improve cooling marginally. I don't know where you saw 20℃+ reduction in temps but they lied or took major risks. I heard of 1 motherboard that comes with an accessory you can install specifically for when you delid a CPU which prevents you from applying uneven pressure to the bare die. Even with that a 20℃ reduction in temperature is unrealistic.

    Man, the OC'ers are gonna jump in a rip you a new one.

     

    Replacing the TIM with CLU (replacing the IHS) has shown persistent, and meaningful, results for Intel CPUs.

     

     

    So how's the Ryzen memory issues going?

    in PC Gaming

    @killcomic  One more (two more actually) thing, if you do look further into Ryzen:

     

    1.  Not all 8GB sticks are dual rank.  Make sure the kits you look at specify that they are capable of rank interleaving, a.k.a: Dual Rank.  Apparently all 16GB sticks are D.R.

     

    2.  I looked up Ryzen verified memory for another member and when going through Gigabyte's Memory Support List I found a single 8GB stick (DR/3000MHz).  I looked it up on PCPP and found the 16GB (2x8GB) kit had the exact same model number.  If you get the model number for an 8GB stick, look up 2x8GB kits for the same model number.

     

    Either path you take should be fine, with the AMD path tossing in a few curve balls.

    So how's the Ryzen memory issues going?

    I'd probably go with the 7700K as of now.  I really like the idea of having an 8c/16t enthusiast CPU, but I would consider it too early to jump on the Ryzen train... especially if my local Ryzen market was scarce.

     

    You could just grab a popular kit of RAM (GSkill/Corsair) and hope that a fix will be arriving if you have issues running it at 2933MHz.  <Isn't that so appealing?  :(

    IS THIS A GOOD PRICE?

    Without the monitor, the build is about the same price as the pre-built.  You get a much more powerful graphics card.

    The pre-built you listed only has 8GB of RAM, so I don't understand where you get the idea that 8GB is not enough.  You can add another stick at any time.

     

    As you can see, prices do not directly translate moving from the US to the UK.  This build even has Windows in it:

    Eyy, that's just my fundamental style of arguing most of the times xD This has gotten me into a LOT of trouble with the mods though o.O Lobbying is getting harder and harder to do in the government and the current government doesn't want it's members to be lobbyists. Some "unbiased" briefings would be good instead of rich tech companies doing the *wink wink nudge nudge* routine to get what they want :/

    You know we can't discuss this anymore... but I don't think lobbying is any more difficult than it has previously been. 

     

    The content of the so called "tech briefings" is not important to a lot of these officials.  That dollar amount is what they remember.  I can see it now:  A vote comes to the floor and a gov't official opens a little "black book".  "Ah yes, this is Wednesday's $15000 vote."  They then look to the left to either see a "Y", or an "N" next to the line.
