With the 7900X3D you're only going to get 6 cores with 3D cache. I predict it will do fine in most games, but a few games might actually take advantage of 8 3D cores and you'll be missing out on performance. Scheduler seems to be mostly a hit, but there are misses. Looks like you can set your CCD preference in the BIOS, though, if you ever run into an issue with per-game detection. The 7800X3D is the simple gaming CPU. Don't have to worry about scheduling issues, uses less power and should be easier to cool.

This show is basically Monk/Pysche.

The best is yet to come.

You'll definitely have one.

I definitely prefer dedicated RGB controllers. When using any effect besides basic static colors, motherboard software control raises CPU usage be 2-3%. I doubt this Windows update will be any better; it's just the nature of not having dedicating hardware processing for the RGB. Asus software does indeed suck, and loves to break half the time when I was using it.

It's for nerds

And they just came out with a 27" 1440p 240Hz. I'd really love to see burn in tests on this thing, as well as any (longtime) quirks. 27'' UltraGear™ OLED Gaming Monitor (27GR95QE-B) | LG USA WWW.LG.COM Prepare for Victory with the 240Hz Refresh Rate & 0.3ms Response Time of the New 27'' UltraGear™ OLED Gaming Monitor (27GR95QE-B).

He's just testing out his new AI platform, ChatDeMuT.

At least there are LG OLED actual PC monitors on the market now.

That Microcenter combo is the best bang for the buck especially if you also want to focus on longevity. The absolute best bang for the buck are "older" parts right now, like the Ryzen 5000 CPUs as those are cheap and fast enough to maximize the performance out of your 3080, plus the RAM and motherboards are cheaper too. But you'll be buying into a DDR4 platform while DDR5 is the current standard. I'd certainly recommend spending a bit more to cover yourself with a future GPU upgrade. Pretty much no matter the CPU you'll also need a new cooler too. So if you can't do the Microcenter bundle, something like this would be a good starting point: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K 3.5 GHz 14-Core Processor ($319.83 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: ID-COOLING DASHFLOW 240 BASIC 82.5 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($69.98 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 UD AC ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($194.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory ($149.94 @ Newegg) Total: $734.74 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2023-02-18 11:38 EST-0500 The 13700 is also a pretty good value for only $100 more than the 13600. The upcoming AMD 7800X3D will mostly likely be faster, but it's also going to cost more at $450, and will have fewer cores if you do any type of productivity work.

The dock will be backwards compatible.

Toss my name in the hat.

Scan your Amiibos to get new weapons. Problem solved!

Did not expect bloodstain, Seek skill

What if they made a huge multiplayer map out of the ring planet and throughout the match the ring gets smaller! *has not played a Halo game since the original.

I don't see much of a difference with how Loki and Ronin's temperaments were displayed in those movies. The "real" Thanos wouldn't have trusted either of their selfish motivations with those tasks, especially when those stones were presented as fairly easily attainable by his own crew. And this is the point. The continuity stuff was mostly tacked onto the movies, and at worst made movies unfocused (Iron Man 2). But it did give us Winter Soldier, Civil War, Ragnarok, and IW/EG, so I still enjoy it even with the contradictions. But it's definitely something I don't need to see the DC emulate especially if they are going to start from scratch.

All of the decisions characters made with the Infinity Stone in Phase 1/2 were dumb, so at least the scepter retcon was consistent. Why would Thanos task the unstable Ronin in retrieving a stone for him? Why would Asgard give a stone to The Collector? Would Thor really melt a stone into an android?

At least we got Blades will bleed, Shields will shatter The WiiU barely handled BotW, I wonder if the 360 or PS3 could do any better if properly optimized.

Remembered some classic ones: A Link to the Past: Freezing an enemy with the Ice Rod, then discovering I can pick up the frozen enemy, and finally losing my shit when I could throw the enemy as a weapon to kill other enemies. The first time using the Bombos medallion was also pure hype. A weird one concerning my particular Super Mario All-Stars cartridge on SNES: While playing SMB3 I could transform Mario into any form (Raccoon, Fire, Hammer, Leaf, Boot, etc) by pressing the select button on my controller. I realized I could finally beat the game now :p. But for some reason, the glitch didn't work all the time and I have no idea what triggered it. Super Mario Kart: In battle mode, seemingly helpless as my brother comes straight at me with a red shell and I have nothing, learning if you have perfect timing you can normal jump over a red shell, no feather required. edit: Triple whammy - Batman: Arkham trilogy. Obsessively played the Asylum demo on PC over and over again and in awe of how it felt like you were actually Batman, with gadgets and fists. Arkham City felt like an evolving Gotham. Mayhem everywhere, factions competing for power, but I was definitely impressed by the gossip of the foot soldiers and how they evolved their dialogue as Batman progressed the story. In Arkham Knight I was impressed by Hamil's Joker performance. It was subtly different than previous iterations precisely because this was Batman's idea of who the Joker was. And I probably would have been more shocked by the story if I hadn't watched Under the Red Hood prior

Battlefield 2's scale, with my personal highlight being sniping the pilot out of an attack chopper. Darth Revan reveal in KOTOR. The gameplay flexibility of the Jedi Knight 2 and 3 impressed me, and I played them 10 years after they released. I managed to get the Wii online via a 56k dial up connection, and that speed was good enough Finding something in every nook and cranny in Breath of the Wild. Also that the WiiU could even run Breath of the Wild at all, but I finished the game on PC in hi-res fashion. And obviously everyone should have be impressed by...... The super realistic graphics of the first Madden game for every new console generation

People really want them to make more N64 controllers.

It's definitely not cheap. Fittings alone, including spares that I didn't end up using while trying to figure out the best route, were probably close to $200. A couple of radiators, CPU + GPU waterblocks, and pump/reservoir will probably be +$500 (new generation GPU waterblocks are expensive).

Oh, procrastinated on the finished product: It took quite a bit of time, but worth it to not have to worry about temperatures or fan noise. Troubles I encountered: -Accidently knocked off a capacitor on the GPU PCIE express lane while remounting the block, so I had to find and then solder a new one. It did not want to cooperate since it was a tiny 0.2mm one, but finally got it fully working. -GPU + waterblock fittings barely fit. The backside is touching the CPU block, and the fans underneath are supporting the bracket. -Routing the tubes to each radiator was a tight fit. I have a second 360mm rad behind the side fans and the fittings barely clear the fans. -Scratched the plexiglass while screwing things in because of the cramped environment, and also while re-doing the tubing layout to get it just right. I certainly learned a lot if I decide to do it in the future. For example: -Definitely get case + compatible distro block that can support a powerful water pump. Only two work with mine and they aren't as good as a D5. -Stick with silver/chrome fittings. They are much easier to find at a reasonable price compared to colorized ones. -Unifans or whatever comparable daisy-chainable fans are awesome for cable management. Now my setup is complete.

Nice. Is that a standing desk?

I've used eBay, and even when a key didn't work the seller DM'd me a new one that did. But it's been a while and eBay has gotten so many scam accounts I'm not sure I would trust it anymore.
