I haven't really kept up with the VAG program, but I might have to take a look. I still want a reference 6800 XT and AMD Direct Buy is dumpster juice. 😞

Not unless your idea of "perfect" is setting fire to a pile of money.

In terms of getting the absolute highest end tech possible, that build mostly qualifies, although the choice of middling storage when you're already cashing out your retirement account to buy a computer is odd. That should all be 2TB PCIe 4.0 drives, because why not? This is a dream build anyways.

GreatnessRD reacted to Chris Pratt in RX 6700XT worth getting or overpriced? Tuesday at 10:46 AM

If these were normal times and you could walk into any store and just grab whatever GPU you like at MSRP, no, the 6700XT would not be worth it at all. These are not normal times, though, so it's a decent alternative to 30-series Nvidia cards, if you can't get you hands on one of those, but can get a 6700XT.

It's not a *bad* card, it's just that even the lower end Nvidia 30-series cards are better, and *should* cost the same or less.

That said $1200 is absolutely insane. Virtually no card is worth that, and I'm looking at you 3090, which is actually supposed to retail at that price.

My first DIY PC in 2014 had blue LED fans (My favorite color). Then I saw people on the internet with some amazing builds and color combos. Now I have the RAM, strips, fans KB/M, etc. I won't graduate to the strimer cables though. Too much for me, lol

GreatnessRD reacted to Master Disaster in Microsoft is submerging servers in boiling liquid April 9

This has been a thing for many many years now. That said its the first time I've heard about it being used on entire enterprise grade servers though I believe it was designed exactly for this use.

The stuff they use is called Novec by 3M, you can buy a small bottle for a pretty cheap price.

I'll let people do it first
1) to check if it bricks their cards
2) to see if there's mining limiter

Don't think zen 2 supports it yet anyways

Name: Frankenstein.
I for real gave life to this during a thunderstorm. Just finished soldering in a repurposed internal USB cable as a way to unplug the laptops from the light switches.

.Two laptops rewired to turn on and off with light switches.
.Dell XPS M170 with windows 2000/XP
.Fujitsu Lifebook N4620 with win7.

This is only its first form. Another laptop must be sacrificed to make this MS-DOS/Win95/Win98 compatible.
