Well you're just wrong if that's your accusation, I don't suffer from autogynephilia in the slightest. I don't believe that is tied solely to porn addiction, and while I could believe that is one component, I think there are several criteria that need to be met and one of them is not having a masculine figure in your life to look up to and want to be like. My dad set the standard for that when I was little by being a cool lumberjack handyman I wanted to be.

So I shouldn't buy AMD CPUS? Also how do people know which is which is faulty? Isn't the CPU sending the commands and the RAM is recording those commands and the GPU just blindly accepts even though the CPU or RAM can be faulty?

>>108112842
Nobody here is talking about the CPU, just AMD Radeon GPUs.

You can tell the GPU only has 3 screws holding the heatsink by the hotspot temperature, if the sight of the standoff not being fully seated wasn't obvious enough, xD.

I would say this is enough to at least continue the case torture test, but the results will be useless and contaminated with the hotspot temperature, so maybe I should have just DDU'd, stuck a HD 7970 or 290X in, and continued that way.

did you even bother to look at his screenshot? or the bug reports linked? its quite fucking evident what the issue is. You can't seriously think every single user who has a problem with Radeon cards is also overclocking everything to the tits and that's why it happens, thats retarded thinking.

>>108112886
you know if you actually google "nvidia freezing" and set a time frame of the last few months or something, there is only a handful of actual results and most of them are talking about a specific application, but if you google "radeon freezing" its almost always the entire system being hardlocked by the drivers and its still ongoing. that should tell you all you need to know about the quality of their cards.

>>108112880
I'm being facetious anyway because the actual number of failures is comically low

>>108112842
If you buy an AM5 CPU right now, I would hold off on doing any fancy waterblocks or anything on it, because there's a pretty high chance you're gonna have to RMA it at some point, and nobody wants to be draining a loop and all that shit.

If you compare the 9070 xt to like the 5080 it isnt that it's faster per se but the raw raster/$ might be 50% higher. At the cost of everything else being worse.

and you still don't know that PCIE is basically a network just like switches and routers? sad. It operates on the exact same principle as packets and other datagram types. TX, RX, drop, collision and corrective actions like retransmits etc.

>>108113004
No it isn't.
You know for a fact if you buy a GPU made in the past 2 years, you can play a game from 10 years ago at an irrelevant frame rate.
What you want to know is if you can play modern games well.

hey pcbg, wanted your opinions on this. i have the antec flux pro and a 420mm lf3 and i wanted to mount it on the front with tubes down, but saw that there is no space, so instead of mounting it with tubes up i decided to put it on top. the configuration that i think is best is pic related, with the rad fans in pull config and case fans in front and rear as exhaust; the gpu has its on intake on the bottom.
cant do any tests because im still missing the cpu from the build, but do you think putting the rad in front or configuring the top rad fans as exhaust instead of pull might be better?

Spotting the shitposters: the shitposters may be working at gunpoint in a bot farm, paid shill/bot farm, lone schizo, etc. the shitposters rarely ever just tags the OP and asks for it to be updated or changed as asked for in the second part of the sticky. they also resort to things like ad hominem, racism, cherry picked benchmarks, false information, etc. and one of my favorite things is the lone post tagging no one but responding to some previous reply to whatever argument it felt it was losing or with a one-liner just to flood the vapid minds of the unwashed masses with <specific vendors products>. the shitposters necropost old tropes to flood the threads and bump post counts e.g. random garbage questions that any /noob/ would just google or disingenuous descriptions of problems that are copypasta with a few words changed in them. Single line, low-quality posts are often the copypasta. Most recently the OP appears to be trying a super stealth approach - creating the OP with only "subtle" alterations like "-Avoid Nvidia Due To Possible Melting Connectors & Driver Problems", and griefing /g/ by creating and self deleting the thread after a short while.

can we talk about VA monitors? does any uses VA here? I made my VA have much better response times enabling overdrive and VBR (it's acer) but it locks my brightness at a level I don't even know, if I try to move the brightness scale it disables VBR, I've been trying ShaderBeam to add BFI to the monitor when playing locked 60 fps games, fighting games actually, but BFI makes the screen too dark, I need to be able to have VBR on and high brightness to get a very fast and very crisp image with ShaderBeam, can it even be done?

I copied the CAP file from Asus' website to a Fat32 USB Stick, plugged it into the BIOS port on the motherboard, and when I boot with an HDMI port coming from the motherboard, nothing happens.
And every single tutorial on this online just talks about it as if you already have a fully set up PC and are just deciding to update your BIOS for fun one day

I'm writing on my other PC, the one I'm trying to update is on a PC I'm building. Since the CPU is incompatible with the BIOS currently on the hardware, the new PC doesn't output any video signal at all, so there's no way to tell what, if anything, is wrong

Yeah, it has less strict binning so underperforming cards can make the cut.
It means there's less wastage as cards that can't do a decent clock are allowed to meet specification and the whole line is just underclocked as a consequence.
