Dont just keep your ddr4. By the time you want more performance its not gonna make sense yo swap board and ram to get a little extra performance vs just getting a new board, ram and cpu.
 
Currently ddr5 is in early adopter mode and I say about at where the ddr4 2666mhz range atm for speeds that arent too expensive to get. So give it a couple more years before we reach the good stuff at a good price.
 
Pretty much but dont buy into it just to buy into it. If the system you use is still plenty good then dont bother.
 
 

I was reading your thread aswell hahaha

I think it's probably a bit of both, but I believe the consumers got screwed harder considering the price for a FE Ti card went from $699 to $1199 for the same ~30% increase in performance generation over generation under the guise of "ray tracing" that won't even run that well at the end of the day.

any class action from consumers on the horizon? i have an intel cpu and if it takes a 30% performance hit i request a full compensation of it and of the motherboard.

Rest in peace net neutrality. Hopefully Ajit Pai will get hit by a train.

"I need HALP! I downloaded a torrent and got a bad virus..."
 
It's like going to a brothel and complaining of venereal disease...

"Why didn't you just get a macbook?"
"Macbooks are just... better, you know?"
As a university student in california... this is all too common when laptops come up. 
 
- "I need a laptop for my classes. something that can browse the web and can write up papers real well."
- "OH, just get a macbook pro, they're really good laptops! they just work!"

"Mac computers can't get virus infected"

Title.

What are some tech-related things that people say that trigger you or other tech fans?

Personally, when someone says "memory" when they mean "storage" it makes me cringe. I once even had a phone-repair shop employee tell me " the ram is what gives your phone its speed".... I felt bad and didn't wan't to tell him how wrong he is so I just pretended like I had no idea about how computers work.

EDIT: Well, this thread blew up.. Apparently i'm not the only one who gets triggered at false statements.

God I hate stupid post like this. 
 
Like 2 cores makes an 8700k worthless....

And let me guess...
 
It'll still be socket 1151, BUT Z370 chipsets won't support it, so you'll need a "new" Z470 board.

Im pretty sure thats impossible. Unless they used liquid nitrogen and had won the silicon lottery this is bs
 

@dizmo id always like to have about 100w headroom in case i upgrade something 

If you jump of a bridge on a bungee cord, would you rather have a cord calibrated for your exact bodyweight, or maybe one that is some factor stronger? 
That's a little difficult to judge. It looks to be the right form factor, but Dell provides very little info on this.

It probably will, but barely. I would upgrade the PSU asap, but preferably at the same time as the GPU.

No it's not. Those numbers are not meant to represent absolute power draw, it is a recommendation for a minimum wattage PSU you need to run the card. The designers deliberately factor in an extra margin to compensate for stuff like high temps, bad quality PSU's or dust buildup and most importantly, legal backlash. And of course the engineers then say "lets add another 10% and we'll be safe for sure". By my definition this is not inflation, but a risk analysis.
 
For many people who depend on their PC on a low budget, It can shake up your life pretty bad when it dies due to a crappy PSU. So I think my analogy made sense.

Here you are as said if it's exhaust it really doesn't need a filter but that being said I personally use filters on every opening in my case just to prevent dust from settling into the system when it gets turned off.

if this is real, why would intel stop at six cores instead of something like ten?

@nicklmg
I really question the $75 cooler on a locked i5 (and a $75 PSU when there are plenty of very good and much cheaper options).....that money could have been spent so much better. 
 
Also, B150 board? Are you asking for trouble? Sure it will probably work, but it may also need a bios update. 
 
 
Every LTT build guide really just makes me sit here and scratch my head. For under $1000 I can easily get in a 7600k+Z270 board+1tb hdd. And that's using a BeQuiet cooler, case, and and PSU that LTT chose. 
Or I could have done the same as the above but swapped to an R5 1400 and upgraded the 580 to a 1070, also for under $1000. 

Well it was sponsored by Be Quiet so the cooler and PSU choices were, well, limited I guess  

@URANIUM X skip the worry that it may not work or possibly harm your components - check out CableMod. We provide quality sleeving at an affordable rate, our Basic Extension Kits for example are just $29.90 USD and will give you a proper aesthetic. You also get peace of mind knowing that we have support 7 days a week should you have any questions or need any assistance.

Look at what he's been saying about AMD Vega.
 
He's obviously not an AMD fanboy.

Go home OP you're drunk.

It's almost like Ryzen is a new innovative product and the i9 and Extreme edition processors are just the same old same old.
 
Also, click baiting, again? He's been doing it for the past year+ now.

My thoughts are:
 
Fixed OP post for night theme
 
He's ranted already about how stupid Intel's lineup and pricing is
 
How AMD is actually making intel wake the f*** up and actually try
 
He's not a fanboy of a company (other than Noctua) He's a fanboy of healthy business competition.
