  1. Not a repair tech but I've been an enthusiast for 22 years. I have never seen a CPU that failed on it's own.
  2. This is exactly why I bought a 3400G long before 5000 series got here.
  3. It might help if we knew what you were trying to do exactly. It's not like Raspberrypi has a pci-e slot for a graphics card.
  4. If the fullscreen option in game isn't working you could try forcing it with a launch option. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1040-JWMT-2947 Also, exit steam, open terminal and type: steam to start steam from Terminal. If it throws an error when you start the game it should tell you.
  5. Definitely. Not gonna hold my breath waiting, will probably suffocate to death.
  6. Unfortunately, that's as far back as I have pictures for. My first ever build I did myself was back in high school. It was an Athlon 800mhz slot build in an old tank of a steel case with a 3dfx GPU. Airflow was terrible, thing would crank up over 90c and lock up on the regular. Wish I had pictures.
  7. My first ever water cooled build on the X58 platform back in 2010: Specs list: i7 930 EVGA E760 Classified XFX 5870 Crossfire CORSAIR DOMINATOR 1600MHZ CORSAIR 850HX with MDPC-X sleeving 2x OCZ Agility 60gb SSD in RAID0 2x 1tb WD Green RAID0 Custom Powder Coated TJ07 EK-Supreme HF 2x EK-FC5870 V2 Acetal Tygon B-44-4X 1/2" ID (3/4" OD) - "Non-Porous" Smooth Tubing Primoflex Nylon Reusable Hose Clamp - Black - 3/4" OD Yate Loon 120mm x 20mm Slim Fan - Low Speed (D12SL-12C) EK-MultiOption 4 Port RES 150 Rev. 2 Liquid Cooling Reservoir XSPC RX120 120mm Radiator XSPC RX480 Quad 120mm Radiator MCP655 12 VDC Pump
  8. I agree. As an ethnically jewish person who lost many ancestors this term makes me very uncomfortable. The current political climate doesn't help either.
  9. Not exactly cheap but I love my Titan XL. At 150lbs, you could go with the Omega series from secret lab. Has helped my back immensely. https://secretlab.co/collections/omega-series
  10. I was planning on getting a 6800/XT for my new Ryzen build but had to settle on a 5700XT for now. Literally the only decent card you could buy outright for MSRP or less and now most of those are out stock too. Something tells me my EK Waterblock for Radeon 6000 is going to be waiting in the box for a while.
  11. The corsair water cooling stuff looks ugly IMO. Considering that custom loops are largely for aesthetics (yes, there are some minimal performance benefits over air cooling, and certainly quieter), I'd go EK all day everyday. I do have that Corsair D5 pump res combo in my older build but meh, not impressed with their stuff in general.
