I was having issues with my computer recently. My RAM was being maxed out and my CPU seemed to randomly hit 100% utilization every few seconds causing freezes in this game I was playing. Because of that, I decided to just upgrade my PC. Just installed a Ryzen 3800X and doubled my RAM to 32GB.
Now I can finally play the Minecraft modpack All the Mods 3 in peace.
I had a 2TB SSD installed about half a year ago on my PC. I just realized this morning that I forgot to format and assign a drive letter for the SSD.
And here I was deleting installed games because I thought I was running out of space when I had a whole 2TB sitting there unused.
So I've been playing games on my outdated CPU for the past few years and I haven't had much issues with it. But lately, I've been pretty unhappy with my set up and the stutters that I've been experiencing, even in games like Diablo 3. With the release of Anthem and The Division 2 on the horizon, I figured it was finally time to upgrade my PC. Since new AMD CPUs were all AM4 and would need DDR4 RAM, I decided to just build a pretty much new PC rather than strip half the parts from my current one.
So, I'm picking up or having my parts all delivered on Saturday, allowing me to set it up and be ready to play it through the extended President's Day weekend.
Case: Lian Li Lancool One Digital Gold Limited Edition ATX Case
CPU: AMD Ryzen 2 2600
Motherboard: ASUS Prime X470-Pro
PSU: Corsair RM850X
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3000Mhz (2x8GB)
Storage: Intel 660p M.2 2280 512GB SSD + 2TB Micron SSD + 2TB HDD
GPU: EVGA Nvidia GTX 1070 SC
The CPU is only a 2600 for now because I'm waiting for the Zen 2 chips to release. I figured that the 2600 is fine for now until the new chips release. Also, I bought a X470 in order to limit the amount of hardware I'll have to buy in the future when the new chip releases. The GTX 1070 is from my current build. It's the only thing moving over. I'll be putting my old R9 270 GPU into the current PC and it'll serve as a streaming machine or something. I'll probably take my current Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler off the FX-8320 and switch it with the Wriath cooler that comes with the Ryzen. Anyways, it's going to be a great weekend! Preloading Anthem already to play on Friday before my parts come.
My LG V10 had the dreaded bootloop two days ago. The main issue with the bootloop was all the 2FA that was tied to the phone. I dug up my old S3 and started trying to obtain it again but I found out that Google Authenticator doesn't really port over your 2FAs to another phone which means that I would've been extremely screwed. Luckily, I didn't have too many things tied up and was able to turn on Authy's backup after freezing the phone for half an hour. For now, I'm back to a 4.5inch screen rather… See More
than 5.7inch but it could've been worse.
Praise be to Massdrop, they started another drop for the Sennheiser HD 6XX! This run is shipping out in December but for that price, I'd wait a year for them.
