Shimejii got a reaction from TVwazhere in Help me decide - 144Hz, 280Hz
Really depends on how good you are and if you are into competitive play. If you are just a casual, theres really not much of a point over spending.
Is there a big difference? Depends on your eyes and how you handle it. I see the uplift going from 144 to 240 to 360 hz, some people its not as noticeable. The response time is better so that will be an improvement, but unless you are able to actually utilize it, not by much.

Why exactly are you doing this in the first place? Unless you are having thermal issues you dont need to change the paste for a few years. It hasnt been 3-4 years where the paste starts drying out o.o
As far as safety, its non conductive so it should be fine.

Shimejii got a reaction from Zando_ in what are all the settings you must change when you just got a new pc
Dont bother Overclocking. Just do voltage tuning. If its not your computer, dont OC. Youll be the one having to deal with all the issues that arise from that.
Otherwise besides the power settings for GPU/CPU in windows, it just comes down to what things he actually does with the computer. For the most part once you have all the drivers and such installed, thats pretty much it for casual users. You want rock solid stability with this system rather then the absolute most performance, since they are not going to notice the marginal gains that comes with that type of stuff.

Shimejii got a reaction from Elegorn in Thoughts on Rocket Money
Its a pretty dumb service, if you are that unable to keep track of your services, thats a huge issue that paying for ANOTHER service wont actually help. Just seems like a predatory system, it is owned by rocket afterall.

Shimejii got a reaction from Lurick in Relocating desktop to alternate room, what did Linus settle on?
Dont bother trying its Simply not worth it. You dont have the time + money + troubleshooting team that linus has to get something like this to work.
You can put it in another room and just remote in with remote desktop with something like a mini pc in the room, but dont try to run wires through the house. Quite a few people on here have tried it and its always a disaster. Its not a practical solution.

Shimejii got a reaction from 220VoltsallCore in Do games run better on 6 core 7600x than a 10 core i5 13400? becasue games are optimized for lower cores
13400 is not a traditional 10 core. Its basically 6 core+ 4 slow cores that wont be utilized by most games.
So what you should be asking are the 6 cores of the 13400 faster or slower then the 7600x 6 cores (Not really they should perform roughly the same).
Games are not Optimized for lower cores persay, its moreso that its a usage and utilization thing. It varies Game dev to game dev, some use 2-4 cores, some use 4-6, some use as many as you can throw at them. There is no one method to the game devs.
Most games benefit from more cache (hence why the 7800x3D is so strong), the speed of the cores, and the IPC (instructions per clock) with a few other factors.

Shimejii got a reaction from Fat Cat11997 in Good idea to sell 1660 super?
They are good to keep on hand for a low power testing card. There is pretty much no market for them where you will be making your money back. You can always buy a used one as well.

Shimejii got a reaction from MFOreo in Is my SSD just bad? (for high end video editing)
Its a DRAMLESS SSD. Thats what happens when you fill its SLC cache, it slows down till its pretty much as stated. ADATA drives have been known to have issues so it could be both a faulty drive AND the fact that its a DRAMLESS SSD.
Games wont have a problem because they dont constantly write to the drive filling up the cache, same thing with reading.
You bought the wrong SSD for the job. You should have bought one with DRAM.

Shimejii got a reaction from OU812 in My 4090 lit on fire. Need help
Yeah you are SOL. Gigabyte is not going to cover a second hand GPU like that more then likely. Most of the companies wont transfer warranty to a new owner, EVGA was one of the only companies willing to do that.

Shimejii got a reaction from Tadziunia in Upgrade from 7950x to 7800x3D now? or wait for next gen?
Do you do anything else besides gaming? Because 7950x as a gaming cpu makes absolutely 0 sense, no matter its price being "cheaper".
Did you not listen to the people saying how much of a bad idea it was to choose the 7950x over the 7800x3D for gaming?
At this point id wait, 7950x is more then enough until ryzen 9000 launches if you want to sell now though and buy a 7800x3D thats up to you. Makes it much better for games but if you do other stuff that made you buy the 7950x in the first place you will be missing out.

Shimejii got a reaction from Hinjima in Is my PC low (I know it isn’t low but just to add to the list) mid or high end
Im not sure what the point of this is exactly? Are you trying to sell it or just to say you have it?
It would be considered high end. Low end is Bare minimum specs stuff, Mid is usually using 13400/5600, GPU RTX 3050/3060 or RX 6600XT type, anything beyond that is high end.

Shimejii got a reaction from IgniVellex in Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) unboxes Apple Vision Pro
How many of those were reviewers and such that have now returned them. Id bet at least 25-40% got returned at minimum of that 200k total. Take the braindead fans that buy everything apple even if they have no use: id estimate to say after returns its been about 75k-100k units sold. Not bad at all, but far from a success for A company that is use to selling in the millions of units, anything under that is deemed a failure.

Shimejii got a reaction from Helgemeister in Does Zen 5 clash with NVIDIA?
You cant upgrade to a Zen 4 CPU on x570. Zen 4 uses a new CPU and motherboard type (Going from PGA (pins on CPU) on older zen CPUS to LGA (Pins on mobo).
For the most part it shouldnt cause an issue, if needed you can always disable the IGPU on the CPU.

Shimejii got a reaction from Yone in What's a good 27" Monitor
Not for 1440p OLED. Other then that you can easily go down the rabbit hole of 1440p 144hz-240hz IPS displays. Doesnt make sense to spend more then 350$ on a 1440p Monitor at this point when the OLEDs are coming down in price. So you must make that choice since you didnt really give a budget.
Gigabyte M27QX was one of the better IPS ones but its 400$, usually goes on sale for 300$ish.

Shimejii got a reaction from Darknighterror in Asus ROG Strix OC 4070 Ti Super Waterblock
Gonna roast you because for the price of that card+ waterblock you could have gotten a 4080super. Its not worth it to custom loop it.
Theres some around but youd have to see if the 4070 ti Strix and the Super Strix have any differences. Based on most reports they are identical cards from other 4070 ti to Super cards, but there may be some minor changes on this specific one.

Those mounting issues are a bit concerning, hopefully its fixed pretty quick. Otherwise its nice to see they had some headroom and made them better.

See if your number is under her SCAM CALLER BLOCK numbers list. You will have to have her send in a ticket on the site to get it resolved.
