[Request] Build Expansion Round Table
Hyperstrike replied to WanderingAries's topic in PC Builders's Forum
https://www.amazon.com/Eviciv-Portable-Monitor-Display-1024X600/dp/B07L6WT77H/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=USB+monitor&qid=1618276171&refinements=p_36%3A-11000&rnid=386442011&sr=8-4 And if you're on anything NVIDIA 10** series or later, you've got support up to 4 monitors. Hell, an old GTX 780 will do 4 monitors Or were you planning to USE all 4 monitor connections? Or, if you have a spare PCI-E 16 slot, https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-8400-gs-512-p3-1301-kr/p/1FT-001K-002F6 -
[Request] Build Expansion Round Table

You're looking for something like AIDA64. You can buy a cheap little ($100 or less) HDMI screen (usually used for Raspberry Pi stuff. You can then use AIDA to set up the monitors. Here's a couple examples. In the second one, DO NOT use the guy's reference for cheap software. The place he's pointing to is a bulk license abuser. They buy a bulk license, meant for a business, then resell the key until it stops working. -

Like all the equipment that's supposed to come with the ROG board. It came in as an unwrapped open box. Outside of the third M.2, the ROG is a slightly better board. My setup kinda depends on the triple M.2 though. Going OS, SQL, VM/Scratch Disk, as M.2 RAID-0 doesn't really increase throughput or latency, it just speeds disk queue processing. -

EXTREME 0.00001% PROBLEM INCOMING! The board I ordered for my new rig was an ASRock X570 Taichi Razer. $380. Has all the features I require from a board. So I get home today from work and find THIS has come for me. A $560 board! I lucked out right? While it's a nice board it's missing some of the things I require. Not the least of which is Triple M.2 support. So, back it goes! -
Incorrect order. Defense is your primary layer. If the attack doesn't hit, it does NOTHING. You don't have to resist damage or heal or anything. If an attack gets through your Defense, Resistance is your next option. Simply ignore a portion of the damage that's inflicted. Then +Absorb. It gives you a pool of "phantom HP" which come off first, before hitting your real HP. From there, we move on to Heal/Regen

Have it coming. Ryzen 5950X. Unfortunately the deal I used is now sold out. -

The difference between low-latency DDR3200 and DDR4000 was only about $60. I don't plan on overclocking on a $4000 rig. At least not immediately. But I'm planning for the future. -

1: Yeah. 2: For a display unit, cool. Great. Fine. But when I'm working, I don't need all the flashing and throbbing and...wow that just sounds WRONG! -

Look for Aeron Repair places. -
Well, had an emergency dental bill fall from orbit and hit me DIRECTLY in the danglies... So my build bling got revised. Not going custom loop. Pared down to a 420mm "AIO". Technically it's an AIO. But it's built of stock Alphacool components and is totally expandable. It's got a quick disconnect setup to allow you to add components. And if I want, I can convert it to standard fittings and turn everything into regular soft-tubing and quick disconnects or go hard tube. But just dropped $3600 today. And should have everything in my posession by mid-month. If you want a 5950x CPU and can use a new 27" gaming monitor, the deal I took is pretty good. https://www.antonline.com/Lenovo/Computers/Computer_Displays/Monitors/1424182 I don't need the monitor. So I'm giving it to my bosses. If I needed it, the markup over MSRP for both things is only about $80. Link is still good as this post goes live at 11PM Central 04/08/21.

Welp. Due to some emergency dental bills (some very big ones) my free cash for the build got cut in half. So, here's what $3600 will buy you. Case: Thermaltake Core X9 CPU: Ryzen 5950X Cooler: Alphacool Icebaer modular/refillable AIO GPU: RTX 2060 (recycled fro my current build because new GPUs just aren't available and NVIDIA's actually turning out new 2060s!) Memory: 64GB Trident Neo Z DDR4000 (Not happy about the LED, but I can turn it off.) Motherboard: ASROCK X750 Taichi RAZER (Not happy about the LED, but I can turn it off.) PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-1000 Fan Replacements: Noctua NF-P14S (The gray "Redux") fans with anti-vibration pads and anti-vibration mounts for case fans. SSD: 3x Samsung 980 Pro 1TB HDD: 4x WD Gold 10TB I wasn't able to just directly buy a 5950X..Trying to pick the component up by itself is akin to beating yourself across the crotch with a running chainsaw and a saltwater firehose... I bought it as a bundle with a 27" monitor. CPU: $799 MSRP Monitor: $300 MSRP Bundle: $1180 ($1280 after tax and shipping). So I'm gonna gift my boss with a new monitor I don't need. Rather than try to resell the damn thing. If anyone is TRYING to get this CPU and needs a new monitor: https://www.antonline.com/Lenovo/Computers/Computer_Displays/Monitors/1424182 Deal now out of stock as of 04/10/21. The markup over MSRP, when factoring both the chip and the monitor is only about $80. Which is TOTALLY in reason. Note: I'd PLANNED on going custom (or dual loop) water cooling. My sudden expenses put the kibosh on that. Thus I went the next best thing. An "all in one" unit that's actually just individual regular watercooling parts assembled to look like a regular AIO. This way I can add on a GPU cooler if/when they start becoming available again. And then, down the road, I can transition into a custom loop for better performance. -

To those talking about nerfing my beloved Super Strength? FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!!!

Might I suggest Invuln/SS? Incarnate Soft-Capped to everything but Psi on Typed Defenses. Hard-Capped to everything but Tox/Psi (but still fairly hefty) for Resists. OUTSIDE OF RUNE. Turn Rune on, and you're hard-capped to EVERYTHING.

Lucky! Out here they still go for near-new prices. I had the seat snap on my previous chair. Was given the option to replace the seat for like $400 or simply trade it in for a new chair for $600. My momma didn't raise no dummy! NEW CHAIR! -
Yeah. That's something a lot of builders forget to do in the hurry to farm to 50. Sometimes it isn't about tweaking the build. Sometimes the improvements they want can be gotten via accolades. Endurance woes? Portal Jockey, Atlas Medallion. BOOYAH!

What's this "growing up" stuff? It sounds TOTALLY, SUCKTASTICALLY unpleasant!

It won't. But that's cool. You can STILL be a Billy Badass, relatively safe, and output PHENOMENAL damage!

Wail wail for doom and dread! Arise! Arise! THE NECRO-THREAD! Just FYI, I was about to respond to it too...

Alaska and Siberia. I'm told you get special consideration if you're in Antarctica.
