    Puma911 reacted to Chris Pratt in How low does cryptocurrency need to go for it to become unprofitable to mine? (I'm still using a GTX780 6gb with a ryzen 5 3600)   
    If you're hoping for some magic point where mining is not profitable and all the miners just get out the game and dump their cards, that's not going to happen. Even when it falls like this, it's still tens of thousands of dollars more than it was worth a couple of years ago. In other words, it's still profitable, and it would pretty make take the complete crash of all cryptocurrency to change that.
     
    Miners taking cards is an overblown problem anyways. Sure, that contributes to demand, but the issue is and has been supply, and specifically enough supply to meet unprecedented demand. That demand is coming from far more facets than just mining.

    Puma911 reacted to DailyProcrastinator in Are we facing a worldwide GPU shortage?   
    Ya'll forget that covid is still a thing right? Stock shortages are not a surprise at all, a long foreseen issue. 
     
    RTX 20xx series is in short supply because it is no longer manufactured, same goes for the RX 5xxx. 
     
    Unsure about supply constraints in other countries, but contacts I know in the retail biz here in Canada are telling me to expect 'normal' stock sometime in Q1 2021.

    I'm working on a new build myself and noticed that no newer nvidia gpus are even available. 
     
    I spotted the PNY GTX 780 for $450 ON NEWEGG TODAY.  THAT'S WHAT I BOUGHT IT FOR 7 YEARS AGO. WHAT. IS. HAPPENING.

    Puma911 got a reaction from Screen in I Cited Linus in a College English Paper   
    I've been a fan a long time but I never thought I'd have this opportunity lol! I did it mostly for the luls and because my professor is a nerd who will probably get a kick out of it. It's for a grade, not an academic journal, but still I thought it was funny.
    Also it was just weird to me that I happened to be researching net neutrality all day and then in the middle of the WAN show the guys are talking about the thing I was reading about all day?
    Edit: link to entire paper. Don't judge too harshly I put about a B effort into it lol https://drive.google.com/file/d/12Nf1JHEJsnv8ZAR3mEzd8Ts1NqXOjQok/view?usp=sharing

    Puma911 reacted to Corsair Nick in Corsair h100i LED burnt out. How long do I have?   
    If you have the LINK cable connected and running Corsair Link software, you can check on the pump temps and speed.  If everything is running ok, the system should run fine.  All pumps should last at least  years which is the length of the warranty.

    It is hard to say as the build quality and overall life of a led can be way shorter than the rest of the components. It can last a reasonable time, but i recommend that you start saving for a new one, if you find get an gamemax iceberg 240, it is cheap and have a really good performance

    Puma911 reacted to ShadowChaser in Best 2 or 2.1 Desktop sub $250? (+$100 Sound Card?)   
    Oh man, yeah, I had to luck of visiting our local radio station and they let me try on their studio headphones and monitors and they sounded awesome. Still, I love my A250s as I've used them for years and nothing better has come along in this price range. I'm not the kind of person that'll drop $100+ on speakers  but if you are, these are still great as backups.

    Puma911 reacted to Chris_R. in Power Supply Fan Noise   
    I actually JUST did this on a HX650 from 8-10 years ago. Fan was making a super annoying sound. The casing opened up real nice with screws holding it down. It was just a 120MM fan. I had some cheap o 3 pin fans lying around to swap out.
     
    Biggest issue was my PSU used a 2 pin header for the fan, and my fan was a 3 pin. Tried swapping the pins but the 2 pin connector was too small. So I just soldered the harnesses together. Put back together works great and very quiet now.

    I got windows installed but it booted to 'other user' which I can't get around. It seems if I perform a clean install that won't be an issue, I'm just not sure where my process is getting screwed up.

    Second. The OCZ Trion 100 is fast and dirt-cheap, going at $200 for a terabyte of storage, but 33% of Newegg reviews have a rating of 1/5 due to drive failure.

    My personal plans are to get an OCZ, Mushkin, Crucial, or Samsung 1TB NVME drive and then wait for SATA prices to drop once Mushkin releases their 4TB for $500 Reactor drive.  NVME main drive, and then SATA III SSD mass storage.

    Yes please.
    PC and PS4 did that in Rocket League for months but Microsoft was once again the guy behind.
    Maybe Forza Horizon 3 crossplay in the future? That would be awesome.
    Also, Xbox plebs will be getting destroyed in shooters.
