It's just my entertainment station, whenever i'm at home i just sit there to relax listening to music all day long


I got some games installed but haven't played much lately

The first one was when I had the ASUS Tuf Gaming motherboard and they have the USB connector next to the motherboard connector which is the most ridiculous thing to put next to each other and I accidently bent one of the pins in the USB connector trying to plug it in, but everything else worked. The second was completely on me when I try to take out 3700x from the ASUS motherboard to put in my MSI one, I bent an pin taking it out improperly, to which, I later replaced that with the 5800x as Amazon was out of 3700x. Lastly, and I'm probably at fault on is after having to rebuild the system again, possibly one of my outlets probably killed the EVGA PSU (not too sure on that one, but the folks over at Microcenter told me everything, but the PSU is working fine after doing an diagnostic). So after getting another EVGA PSU and put in the new PSU, it's not working too after plugging it in the same outlet, but somehow, I went and plug my phone charger and charge my phone to see if it is the outlet and next thing you know my phone is being charged no problem.

Either I have the worst case of luck, or I'm not being delicate enough to be doing this.

Build computers on cognac, brehs.

first of all, if you bend a pin you can bend it back...

I had a MOBO with a bunch of bent pins at work one time. I just bent them bytches back and buttoned it all back up like everything was good

Bent pins are a crapshoot, there's a good chance bending it back snaps it off.

Threw a 1TB 980 Pro in my laptop. All those super small screws can suck a dicc

These 3000 series cards be so fukking massive cant even reach the fukking pcie latch to take the bytch out. I fukkin snapped the latch on my old mobo ​

I did that trying to get my EVGA 3090 seated

.

I always forget about that latch

"why's it so hard to get this GPU out...."

*snap*

noobs

My heatsink blocks the GPU. Normally I get lucky by pushing down on the latch with a chopstick. Never use a screwdriver.

You ain't never really built a computer if you ain't break off the PCI latch on a graphics card slot.

 

[Leasy]

When are we going to see the prices drop on these GPUs

This is the new norm. Get in where u fit in!

 

[Rice N Beans]

Never.

I'm also pretty sure Nvidia is doing their part in keeping cards scarce.

They have no incentive to bring prices down, people have already shown that they're willing to pay double and triple the price.
