We should do that more usually I think…

My PC then:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
GPU: EVGA GTX 1660
RAM: 16 GB DDR4

My PC now:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT
GPU: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 7600 XT
RAM: 16 GB DDR4

Well the ram stayed the same

unlimited power, limited memory. well, he ain’t called sidious the wise

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

Unfortunately, the GPU is a bit too long so the PCIe connection gets a little too loose and sometimes it crashes. I’ll change my GPU for the PowerColor Reaper RX 9060 XT 16 GB, which is 50 mm shorter and is the same length as my original card.

What will you do with the replaced GPU?

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

You mean the old one? I’ll return it to the store I bought it from to get a refund and then buy the new card with the refund money.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Oh, I thought you replaced the card already…

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

yeh so many gpus are HUGE these days. that and my hdds are the main thing preventing me from switching to a smaller, prettier case. My current one is kinda ugly. My dream case would be reasonably small, lots of hdd slots, one 5.25 bay for a dvd drive,and not effing ugly

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I wonder if we’ll see “regular” computers bounce back to being large…

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

I replaced the GPU. It looks better now and I’m using an M.2 SSD so there aren’t HDD/SSD cables, but yeah. My case is small, so cable management is hard and it looks a bit ugly. Case fans are too thick so I have to be careful not to let cables hit the moving fans and while the ARGB on my MB works, the simple RGB pins don’t seem to work properly.

@hhyyrylainen, putting the text to justify doesn’t work, it seems.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

What does this justify thing do?

[hhyyrylainen]

You need to use the markdown mode

not the new fancy rich text editor which no longer allows writing your post raw.

You need to press the new button to toggle between the modes that was already noticed here: Random Video Posting - #2086 by Deathwake

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

That’s so weird. Why did they change that?

[hhyyrylainen]

Probably as an attempt to make things easier for general new users who just want to post something on a forum and not have to deal with writing raw formatting code.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I mean, it’s not like the “advanced” mode forces you to do that, right?

[hhyyrylainen]

If you want a paragraph break in markdown, you need to press enter twice as a single newline doesn’t break paragraphs.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Not sure that’s a very big trouble to most…

[hhyyrylainen]

It’s a trouble to people who don’t even know what markdown is.

Again, the main point is to reduce the hurdle of new users coming to forums, for example people who have never posted on a forum before.
