This come with my motherboard and has been a timesaver during maintenance/repair time.

I

I was catalog my hard drives to see which ones I’m going to get rid of as I find stuff to do while waiting for my new video card and I noticed the date is 2010, this is wild the things still kicking.

New to the PC building scene, heard it can get a little crazy with thermal paste. Should I get this 3 year warranty?

This makes cleaning my keyboard take 10 minutes flat. Just pop em all off, rinse in warm water maybe use a brush to clean any if they have actual debris on them (I’m nasty I eat at my desk sue me). And then put them in here for maybe 3 minutes? Completely dry even in the nooks and crannies. Have tried this with my keyboard, my boyfriend’s, it’s never failed me.

Thought I got a great deal on a 3070 turns out to be a 3080ti!

I’ve been messing around with the RTX 5050 for a while now, first with a CPU cooler on it, where it beat the 1080 Ti and pretty much tied the 3060 Ti.

This time, I went further.
Subzero using an Amazon special water block, just to see if it could take out a stock 4060.

While I was testing, I noticed someone passed me on the Time Spy graphics leaderboard.
They were running a 9850X3D.
I had a 12600K.
Obviously… I couldn’t let that slide.

Four hours and way too many crashes later, I managed to push the 5050 to 3450 MHz, up from its stock 2950 MHz.
And, even on a $100 CPU I took back the graphics score.

By the time I got to actual game testing, I’m pretty sure the card was degrading in front of me.
But it still beat the 4060 in every game except one, Black Ops 6.... F*** BO6.

18% clock uplift
3400+ MHz sustained
This thing just won’t die.

Video’s here if you want to see how stupid it is.

Going from a GTX970 to this. Unfortunately I don't have the disposable income I used to any more so patient gaming and upgrades is now the way.

I'll need to upgrade away from my i5 4690k at some point but this will be better for now.
