Gotta give the signal boost to our brother sheed. He's a good source of info if you're new to PC gaming. He's skilled at breaking things down in a way that's easy to understand.

I keep getting BSOD i think they RAM is faulty all of a sudden but idk how that happened.
Finally installed an AIO cooler and changed the case. Took a while to hook up and I did the fans wrong at first as they were running 100% max speed. Looks nice. I would've put it up on my desk but I need to extend my HMDI cable.
Any good RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT recommendations?

I fixed the wires inside as they were messy and I put the case on top of the desk. Much better now. Loving it.

My son upgraded from a RTX 2060 to a 5060 TI 16gb but he's not seeing much improvement in the games, specifically Spiderman 2. Any suggestions?

Do you have FPS limit turned on? How do you measure improvement?

hi
apologies if this has already been covered, but I just wanted to see what you were planning to do when Windows 10 reaches end of support (those of you who are still using it!). I'm still reluctant to use Windows 11 tbh.
Some options
edit: after a little further reading, switching to LTSC may be a rather painless option (hopefully going from Pro 22H2 to IoT LTSC 21H2 wouldn't require a clean install! - nope):

Some options
- Keep using it as normal
- Switch to LTSC
- Go for extended support (with or without ESU-bypass)
- Go for micropatching (e.g. 0patch)
- Upgrade to W11
- Switch to another OS entirely

- Upgrade Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise

I have a dual build but ditched win10 since I wasn't experiencing any issues with win11 on my other drive. I'm about to either put 10 back on or try Linux.hi

I'm not sure I could switch completely to Linux. I use a few distros for different things, but I don't know if I could use any of them as my main OS. Maybe one that comes with KDE Plasma? idk

I'm lookin at getting the Palit Gaming Pro 5070 ti. Of all the budget AIBs it looks like the largest and most over-engineered at 3 slots, meaning better cooling solution.
It's started going for £699 here in the UK
9070 xt sapphire pulse pro can be had for £619 right now but I'd much rather spend the extra for Nvidia dlss and frame gen tricknology.
I just saw some sponsored results on StartPage
Easily hidden with uBO, but it's the principle.
Ad-related - I've been concerned about how to handle ad-blocking on the work computers once Chrome fully deprecates MV2 extensions. I thought the MV3 options were terrible in comparison, but I found this paper suggesting that they may not be that bad, especially if you use more than one?!

i just use Yandex
feels like OG internet where i can immediately find downloads/torrents of exactly what im looking up
So I’m building a PC and the processor I picked was the 9700X for my build, it’s on Amazon today for $290(was $304 last night). I’ve been down a rabbit hole for a few months looking at PC content and I’m seeing the 7800X3D pop up a lot. Should I pull the cord on this, brehs? 
From what I heard the last couple gens of Intel were not very good. I have a 9900X and love it.So I’m building a PC and the processor I picked was the 9700X for my build, it’s on Amazon today for $290(was $304 last night).

I ended up buying it. I’m trying to not get caught up in the FOMO and save some bread. Don’t make no sense paying more for 1 FPS when I can put the money into something else.
