How to come to terms with aging alone in Psychology & Therapy ·
Why on earth would you think that being single in your 30s means you're destined to be alone forever? Honestly, you’ve still got your entire life ahead of you... I know plenty of guys older than you, and even girls who are flying solo right now and can't see anyone on the horizon, yet they find their person. Just give it a shot, really try—you've got absolutely nothing to lose here. And trust me, it is so much better to be on your own than to be stuck with the wrong person, someone who's just going to drain you emotionally or wreck you financially, leaving you to pay child support for the next 18 years. Someone once said that everything happens for a reason, and that the universe, God, or nature never throws something at us that we aren't capable of handling or getting through. Try to stay a bit more optimistic and just believe that everything will eventually fall into place; having that kind of mindset will make the whole journey so much easier.

Supposedly, we should see a massive reduction in bottlenecks once Vulkan and DirectX 12 are implemented, since they’re designed to take some of that heavy lifting off the CPU by spreading the workload more evenly across all the cores

Honestly, you shouldn't even need to bump up the voltage; from what I've heard, you can reach 3.7GHz just fine without
Overclocking (Main Thread) in Desktops ·
What’s the deal with overclocking a Ryzen 3 1200 to something like 3.4 GHz? I’ve been seeing people push them pretty far, and since I just finished putting my own rig together, I’m curious about what might be possible for me down the road

All fixed! It looks like the driver was the culprit all along.

Nah, I actually plugged them into the USB 2.0 ports, finished installing Windows 10, and they’re working fine now. The catch is that my internet isn't connecting, none of my secondary hard drives are showing up, and there's absolutely no sound. I'm totally stumped because I've already installed all the drivers, so I have no clue what's going on.

I mean, I’m just going to go ahead and install Windows 10; honestly, messing around with Windows 7 feels like a losing battle since half my gear probably won't even be supported anymore anyway.
Logitech issues in Hardware ·
I’m running into a real headache trying to install Windows 7 on my new rig. Everything works perfectly fine while I'm sitting in the BIOS and during the initial setup stages, but the second it asks me to type in a username, my Logitech mouse and keyboard just go completely dead on me! I've already tried swapping out the ports and messing around with all sorts of settings in the Asus BIOS, but nothing seems to work—it's driving me absolutely crazy...

Thanks so much to everyone for the help! I ended up deciding to go a bit bigger on the budget and grabbed both an SSD and an RTX 3060 instead.

I think I’m actually going to have to settle for the GTX 1050, because honestly, the price jump between that and the 1060 is just way too steep for my budget right now.

As for the monitor—what kind of budget are we talking about here? There are seriously a million different options out there right now.

Dell 24-inch 243V5LHSB5 LED

Something along these lines.

I'm honestly not sure how big the jump actually is between the GTX 1050 Ti and the GTX 1060, but I'm thinking about adding some more $217 and picking up an SSD along with the 1060; does anyone have a recommendation for a good monitor that would pair nicely with that kind of GPU?

thanks

Does anyone have any solid recommendations for a gaming rig around $5,000? I’m looking for something that can handle all the latest big titles without breaking a sweat so I can just relax and enjoy my games for a while, though I'd definitely want to leave some room to pull the trigger on an upgrade down the road eventually.
Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
Model: HP Pavilion dv6-2160eg
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core I5 Processor i5-430M
RAM: 4GB DDR3
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce gt 320 m 1GB DDR3
Hard Drive: 700GB

The battery isn't exactly in its prime anymore, so I was thinking about trying to let this thing go for somewhere around $1,500–$1,600 if I can find the right buyer.

Thanks! So, does that mean I just need to log in using my other handle now?

never mind, forget it.

rustydrifter10 said:Honestly, you could go by brightseal3 John or even brightseal3 Mark if that's what you're feeling! They're pretty much interchangeable in this context. And look, John and Mark are just placeholders I used—you can totally come up with something else entirely as long as you stick with the "brightseal3" prefix.

Holo works for me.

Requests to change from Mark to John, or anything similar to that, are strictly off-limits; because of that, any post making that kind of request is going to be deleted without a warning.
The only corrections we actually allow are stuff like tweaking your capitalization or minor adjustments that don't change the core meaning of your handle. The main thing is that your nickname stays recognizable.
For example: Tika to tika or tikica.

well, that's what it says in the very first post.

Hey, if it's possible, could I change my hologram to something else? The main reason is that I use this same handle on a few other sites, so I'd love to have some consistency. It doesn't need to be a total overhaul—honestly, just adding or removing a little something would be perfect, whatever is easiest and simplest for you guys to handle.

Best,
