Bad @Bandwagon

True. This is as good an excuse as any for an upgrade if you're willing to spend the money. A real upgrade will not be cheap and you're rolling the dice as to how quiet the prebuilt will be. If it was me, I would put the guts in a bigger, better case, replace the fans and maybe the CPU cooler...

Swapping out the video card is simple. You just have to make sure to seat the power cable on the 4000 series properly or you'll burn your house down. No biggie.

Might want to look in to undervolting the 3080ti and see how that goes. Minimal performance loss and costs nothing.

Dude. Noctuas are both quiet and stylish. If I ever decide to go all out on a PC build looks wise, it will be all Noctua beige and brown.

I also use headphones when gaming, though they are open back so I can hear the fans ramp up under load. Heat isn't bad at all, but it is in my living room, not in a small room that would heat up fast. The 3080ti is doing you no favors as they had to ramp up the power to get the extra...

Your hardware is very similar to mine. I'm running a 5800X, 32 GB RAM, 3080 10GB, 1440p main monitor. It's in a Phanteks P500A with 3 140mm Noctuas in front, a 120mm rear and an Arctic LFII 360mm top exhaust. It sits right on my desk and is silent at idle and reasonably quiet under load.

True. the 4000 series is significantly more efficient than the 3000s. Dropping in a 4080 would improve thermals.

That looks like a Corsair 4000D airflow, which is a decent case for thermals. Are those 120mm fans in the front? I don't know how good the stock Corsair fans are, but some 140mm Noctuas could cut down on noise. I'm guessing the top mounted CPU radiator is 240mm, a 360mm would improve things. I...

Nurses and doctors I understand as they are imported from all over the world. It's the unit secretaries and other support staff that can barely speak english too.

An older, slower PC uses less power and generates less heat. That means less cooling is necessary and fans can run at lower speeds. A newer, more powerful machine can definitely be quiet if built correctly. Water cooling for the CPU, a good airflow focused case with bigger fans so they can run...

Why can't hospitals hire staff that can communicate in intelligible english when that's part of their damn job?

First off, Desktop Computers for your general desktop building/purchasing advice. Secondly, was the PC quiet enough to start off with and got louder over time? If so, a good cleaning of the internals and repasting the CPU could quiet it down.

@Chris , @Lumi , the religion thread is thataway. Either take your religion discussion there or tie this back in to aliens and the like. I'll even move your posts over there if you want to continue the discussion. Getting complaints from the thread enthusiasts is unusual and you know how much...

The last time I looked, I couldn't find one for reasonable price that would even do 1440p @ 144hz. I just have my work laptop hooked up to one of the other monitor inputs and switch inputs on the monitor itself. For the keyboard and mouse, I have a logitech G915, so the bluetooth connection on...

I see Lanx has you covered on everything else, but what you're looking for here is a KVM switch. Since those are only 1080p monitors, the cheap ones should do the job. Higher resolution monitors need a switch with more bandwidth that the 4K 60mhz of the cheap ones...

They're only charging $60 for these grey boxes. Hot damn.

I am going to be absolutely godawful at this and love every second of it.

@Brahma

Until I finally started working from home full time, I would often have to wait for horse crossing on my way home. The track is on one side of the street and the stables are on the other. If a rider is within a few hundred feet of the road and even so much as glances that way, they shut down...

Well, it has gotten warmer in the last couple months in most places. Might want to check temps and maybe fiddle with fan settings.

Those are to move the cooler to be more centered over the hottest part of the CPU. That won't cause changes in performance over time. More likely you have a combination of dust buildup, paste dryout and environmental factors (higher ambient air temps).

But at least you'll be future proof!

Closest one to me is almost 150 miles away. It's annoying that any deals I'd get would be negated by the cost of gas.

Nothing jumps out at me there, but if you have a Microcenter near you, you might want to consider the Ryzen 5600X3D. It just launched as a Microcenter exclusive deal with AMD. They're made from salvaged 5800X3Ds.

@Mr. Sox stay on topic or post your delirious ramblings in your shaw thread. @Nirgon, don't encourage him. FFS, don't make me work while I'm working.

DeBrincat to Detroit and he extends for 4y, $7.87m. Ottowa gets Kubalik, Sebrango, a 4th and Detroit's choice of either theirs or Boston's 1st round pick next year...

The Samsung should also be plugged in to a PC to update the firmware before it goes in the PS5. I bought the 1TB version of the Gammix last year and it's been great so far.

Should be a pitcher of cinnamilk.

@Lumi you had your chance and @Lightning Lord Rule even showed you how to behave here. That's your last post in this thread for a good long while.

You can fuck right off. There will be no further warnings.

Good. I'd be more concerned if you weren't scared. Natural reaction of someone who wants to keep on living and kick cancer's ass. I expect hilarious stories of dealing with keeping your shit in a bag while you heal up after the resection. Make sure to send any pics of leaking or popped ostomy...

IT didn't even start working on it until my shift ended. I even managed to find out who the on call guy was and his cell, but of course he didn't answer. Tonight is going to such a shit show trying to catch up on everything that I couldn't do. At least you don't get a $20k bill for an emergency...

Unless she had labs that needed to be done immediately, you go to an outpatient lab to get that done. People going to the ER for trivial shit because they don't want to wait is part of why ERs are such shit shows most of them time. Logged in for work tonight, no outlook, no teams. Looks like IT...

Sandin Pelikka? Nice. Tomorrow is going to be interesting to see what the Wings do with picks 41-43.
