  1. Rely on computers to write papers and such is a big concern in our household. Our daughter must write all her drafts by hand, for this reason. We also do not allow abbreviations and text slang, when she texts people. We have turned off autopredit and spellcheck. She is a good person. We snoop her text messages to make sure she abides by these rules
  2. My daughter is in fifth grade. They have had iPads since kindergarten. MacBooks were issued in fifth grade. All of her assignments are online. If she forgets her spelling list, it is online - no excuses. My child is is preparing for the real world. She wants to be a programmer. She knows basic Java and can create large websites in Dreamweaver. Knowing how to operate technology is the greatest tool. It expands your learning resources.
  3. Cooler Master confirmed it is also super rare lol. They can’t help me.
  4. ^ This! I just bought two. I may buy a third for shiz and giggles.
  5. Thanks I appreciate the link. Those are definitely garbage looking fans, and why they are only red or blue is ridiculous. These fans I want look a lot better. Newegg has their 120mm air balance RGB fans for like $6 USD after rebate. However, I’m kinda annoyed about this so I’ll likely jump ship to Corsair, if they can’t accommodate my request for these fans via ticket, lol like they care.
  6. It’s an AMD Rewards code. They are bundled with graphic cards. Therefore, AMD will verify you have one of the above mentioned GPUs installed before allowing redemption. Whew
  7. Code is back up for redemption. Same rule applies - write ‘Mine’. You need to have one of the GPUs listed above to redeem.
  8. Lmao, that’s hilarious. I submitted a ticket. Hopefully they come through, but let’s be real. I offered to buy more to make it worth their time.
  9. I have an AMD digital code for the following games. You need a Vega, RX570 or 580 to redeem it. Assasin’s Creed Odyssey Strange Brigade Star Control First person to post ‘Mine’ can have it for free.
  10. I bought the CoolerMaster K500 case. It came with two completely clear (bracket mounts included) RGB fans. The model number is DF120241RFMN. I’m literally a Google Ninja. I have been to the end of the internet. I can’t find this fan. I’d rather just get one to add, rather than buying 3 news ones with black brackets. Can anyone assist? If you pulled your K500 front fans, I’ll buy them from you or even give you some game codes.
  11. I have finished the build. The 24” ViewSonic 144hz FreeSync monitor is coming today. I figure I’ll wait for that to arrive before booting it up, and hopefully everything goes well. Probably should have booted it sooner but whatever. Everything look good? I have a 5 way RGB splitter attached to the header, hopefully that doesn’t present a problem.
  12. Alright so I have installed the stock cooler on my 2600x. First time installing a CPU and cooler. There are these washers that are not making any contact. Is this an issue? I can see the screws in the back plate and can lift this board up. I was concerned I over torqued it, but seeing these washers now has me puzzled. Additionally, I’m not installing an M2. Do I remove this plastic film. Manual says before installing. I’m not so I fear melting risk. Remove it?
  13. Actually credit cards are more secure than debit cards, in regards to consumer protection. You don’t always have the right to chargeback on a debit card. If you do, then sometimes it is restricted to a specified radius of miles. No company can profit from fraud. However, debit card terms are very specific. Amex you can file a dispute up to 6 months. Discover can can allow up to six months. Visa/MasterCard is 4 months. Your debit card 30-90 days. However, certain chargeback codes have different timeframes. Can you tell I work in the industry?
  14. You can thank your government for the Patriot Act - KYC. Financial institutions and payment processors are required to verify your identity. This is legit.
  15. I figured. I’m just being a spaz. It does look tight in there. I just needed some reassurance. It’s been purchased. Thanks.
  16. I was originally going to go with the MSI B450 Tomahawk; however, I like the RGB lighting on this better and the integrated WiFi. I have concerns my 2600 stock cooler won’t fit well on this board. Is anyone using the stock 2600 on this board? https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16813144188?Keyword=Pro carbon b450 Additionally, I messed up and my ram, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO CMW16GX4M2C3000C15, isn’t on the QVL. I think I’ll be fine. Anyone using this on the Pro Carbon?
  17. Nearly all banks have an overdraft matrix applied to your account. They want you to overdraft. Some allow you to set your card to decline - you have to opt in. Once you go negative, every transaction will cost you an additional ~$35. Ever enjoy a $37 soda? I did when I was a teen. Lesson learned. If you ever need to overdraft your bank account, say you’ve fallen on hard times; then, you withdraw from an ATM the entire amount you need to get by. That way you minimize your needs to one transaction and one overdraft fee.
  18. I vote a triband (mesh) extender with an Ethernet port and LAN that way. You may need 1-2 extenders.
  19. You’re IP banned, Mobile ID banned, Cookie Banned, ect... There are so many ways to links accounts. Your best bet would be Tails OS. It would guarantee you don’t get linked. That would be a hassle for just wanting a PC Part Picker account.
  20. That process prevents incompatible software from running. Disable it during a session and see if your usage drops. Edit: Check Event Viewer to find the compatibility issue.
  21. I’ve been using Goodyear’s Tripletred and Weather Ready Assurance all season tires. The only ones I know of rated for ice. Weather Ready are the best I’ve owned. There was a lot of roadhouse with the Tripletred series.
  22. Follow-up question on a monitor. Can this RX570 8g OC push 2k resolution? You think it is worth buying her a 2k monitor, 144hz, IPS, FreeSync - 24”-27” maybe curved?
  23. My parents did that to me when I was a teenager, not cool. I vowed I’d never do that to my child. I’m mean look at what she is getting at 10 years old. In my career , we have 20 monitors on the walls and 3 on our desks. You should tell your parents they are robbing you of the experience necessary for corporate America lol.
  24. The case arrived today and I purchased the GPU. It’s hard to not just buy this all at once. Do you think I’d see further savings on the remaining items if I wait till Cyber Monday?
