IkeaGnome got a reaction from RockSolid1106 in WAN Show April 12 - fuel efficient acceleration - a misconception
Really?
Also not always true. Just as an example it's been found that the 5.9 Cummins does best at 1300-1500 RPM. Your logic says I should drive it much closer to the 2500 rpm it's governed to...

People can be paranoid, especially when they're new at something. It's better to put their mind at ease with explanations versus just telling them something. It also helps educationally so they can make better decisions themselves.

IkeaGnome got a reaction from itchie in Upgrading Our WORST Setup
Not sure if you saw the game show Jessica did on WAN show a while back, but the upgrade had the same character. Jessica is great.
I'm trying to find it, but it's kind of difficult to find with a quick search.

I timestamped that where he says what fans go where. 140mm reversed blades on bottom. LCD fans on the side, and the 120mm in the rear.

It's not the only one he got wrong. In the video it's 2x32 GB Corsair Dom Titanium at 6000 MT/s in silver. Link is 2x16 at 6000 MT/s in black.
The AIO goes from a black 360mm Trinity to a white 360mm Trinity.

AW 17 is general purpose I/O though, so I have to imagine that will cause issues unknown.

IkeaGnome got a reaction from goatedpenguin in Will my CPU still work??
Those are ground pins. I'd just make sure the pins aren't bent over and touching any other pins. You might have some weird USB issues after this. If you do, then you know the cause though.

IkeaGnome got a reaction from MiszS in Will my CPU still work??
VSS pins are just ground. There's a very good chance it'll still work.
How did this happen? What you posted is the AM4 socket pinout. How did you break the socket side?

IkeaGnome got a reaction from thrasher_565 in How much can I sell these parts for, and what should I buy instead
It's been closer to $130-$150 for what they actually sell for. Don't go off price on listings, go off of "sold listings"

There's a couple factors going into the price of that card. FE cards will always go for more on the second hand market because there was less of them. EVGA is in that same boat right now. With them not making cards anymore you've got collectors buying up the used market on those cards. MSI cards are going for closer to $100 used on eBay.

There's a lot of problems here. That CPU doesn't support that much RAM. That CPU is DDR4 only.
That motherboard isn't compatible with that CPU.

You can get short ones that would sit on top of the caddy.

That video doesn't change my opinion.
Gigabyte fixed their PCB for 4080 and 4090 models. Not the 4070/S.
Gigabyte strengthens RTX 40 board design amid PCB cracking issues - VideoCardz.com
In the case of the 4070 Super, it's the same shit PCB design as they used on a lot of 30 series that I was complaining about here for ~8 months before it made news. Gigabyte then decided to completely void warranty for cracked PCBs.
The card you are looking at is still; a triple slot cooler, made by the company that was having the most problems with cracked PCBs, made by the company that's shown it won't honor their warranty for cracked PCBs, and a $600 investment.
Not spending the couple dollars to help the PCB and keep the card from potentially breaking is just asinine to me.

Usually the "offender" is ASUS ROG Strix and some Gigabyte model, since they often use overly thick heatsink and/or overly long as well.
ROG Strix 4080 is around 2cm longer, 1cm wider, and at least 300-500gram heavier if spec sheet & amazon page is right.
The farthest end from PCIE slot on my ROG Strix 3080 (Jul 2022) is noticeably lower from the rest of the card, especially so after adding cables, nothing permanent yet though, it still straighten when I put the card vertically.
But yeah, I don't think a year or two gonna show noticeable [permanent] sag.
Though there was an article about gigabyte's gpu cracking near PCIE lock section due to PCB design (in which they said it has been revised, no idea if the old design still circulates)

IkeaGnome got a reaction from FFLORO in What The Hell ?
I do see where you're coming from. However, what does LMG have to do with that your country may or may not charge you?

They don't have control over customs and what customs want to charge you ROFL.

Not really. That's normal here in NA. Our price tags don't have tax included for what ever odd reason.
If you're ever traveling here and see something for $9.99, it's actually $9.99 plus what ever sales tax there is locally.

IkeaGnome got a reaction from IceCold008 in What The Hell ?
So what I will say is I live in Alaska, so there's no import on anything I buy from Canada really. I've ordered from LTT quite a few times and never had the tax change on me.
I have seen where people in other countries order, the package gets to customs and there are customs issues and the customer gets charged to import. That being said, if you do get double taxed, LMG will reimburse you one of the tax payments. They've done it before and it's part of their "Trust Me Bro."
The big thing to note is that it's for double tax, not customs/import fees.
Mine gets set to ~9%. Locally, our sales tax is 3% on the first $1,000 of a purchase/sale. I've never taken that up with LMG since that 6% is hardly worth my time or LMGs time to charge back. I'm not saying I like giving that 6% "away", but if you look at it in the grand picture it's not worth the hourly investment on both ends.

That would both raise the sales tax and import/customs tax..
