According to reddit. No it wont help. it was more an issue for LGA1700. I also have one though as by the time I read about it. I already had it waiting for installation. It was cheap so why not.

The best thing about the Frame is the prevention of Thermal paste going into the ribs in the CPU.

Nvidia's mass psychosis has their consumer base buying 1000 pound graphic cards on credit, but it's ok, it's 0% lol.

Do yourself a favor; return it. You have no business buying such trivial things with money you don't have, from a 3080 that has no problem playing games.

It's cool, appreciate the concern but like I said I will be paying it off a lot sooner, all it's doing is providing me a safety net on time.
While the 3080 is still decent playing at 4k but it struggles on a couple unpolish games.
The 4080 super is spot on now playing at 4k on all the games we(myself and my partner) are playing and future titles as well.
@FreedomEclipse
Its pretty close to the gundam theme to be fair but sadly not THE gundam edition. But I picked it because it's close enough I can get.

Check the voltage range rating on the adapter. It should specify if it can handle 100/110 - 240v or something.

Some 240V PC supplies can't handle 110V.

Picked up a Corsair K70 while they were on sale for $70
Glad to get rid of the EVGA keyboard

I like the fact that is has a number pad.

Couldn't help myself. I just want distinguishable drives so I'm not always guessing what's what

Shrek · Friday at 12:46 AM

I really like the Samsung Bar (in Titan Grey) but went with the SanDisk Ultra Luxe this time round for a 512 GB drive

Samsung Bar 512 GB ($64)
SanDisk Ultra Luxe 512 GB ($39)

Lanyards are good for distinguishing drives

I never thought of that! I've only considered using colored stickers but that sounds so much better. Thanks for the suggestion

I made colored skins for my YubiKeys.

Just bought a Stanley Fatmax cordless drill/driver with a Bosch 83-piece drill/bit set.

Nothing like buying your own home to awaken the renovating/decorating/etc impetus. And doing so requires power tools.

oxrufiioxo · Friday at 2:16 AM

@harm9963 it says right on the screen you posted it does not convert voltage the device needs to work on your local voltage..... So the real question does the power supply support 110V and why you would buy one not knowing if it does.

I'll throw it in the desk drawer and use usb cable extenders and power button extender. Like the one below so I never have to touch the tower.

I have bought those kinds of kit, though I always opt for the ones with Power+Reset and PowerLED+DriveLED.

On this note, thought I'd link to what I've bought recently just in case anyone what something similar and there's two;

To replace a SF750 I bought in 2020.

Now I'll be ready for my 5090.

Should be able to reuse my custom cables as outputs are same as on the SF750, i.e GPU power from 2x 8 pin. Will get a new cable when 5090 arrives, as my 3080 ti has the older style 12 pin.

Are you sure? Old SF750 is Type 4, but those new (2024 models and SFX-L, i.e. SF1000L) ones use Type 5.

Remote control relay, gonna use it for extra security on my bike. Using it to cut the main 12v power line, so even if someone bypasses the ignition switch it still won’t power up. At least if someone tries stealing it, they ain’t gonna ride it away.

wNotyarD · Friday at 11:10 AM

Was my custom loop really built for firing-and-forgetting? Guess not, a kink on a hose is severely limiting the flow. Nothing I can't fix with a little more money: new fittings and a GPU holder (which I'll use to support the flow meter) inbound!

Cheap FPGA PCIe Development

Typically, if you want to build an FPGA project inside a PC, you’d need a fairly expensive development board that plugs into the bus. However, [CircuitValley] found some IBM RS-485 boards tha…
