TRENDING NOW: RackNerd’s BLACK FRIDAY! NEW DEALS, NEW LOCATIONS, NEW HARDWARE + 100’s of GIVEAWAYS!

noob404 · November 2025

Do we have enough members right now to make some noise. If I do remember, we used to have a few giveaways around midnight (Indian standard time) which is almost 2 hours from now. But, back then, we had a lot of activity on the thread and Dustin would join in with giveaways. Some portions of last year on the RN BF thread, being extremely fast-paced is a little bit of a blur still. But, I believe it'd be great to have a GA suitable for the US/EU timezones as well.

So, can we hype it up, guys?

Anyone know of a good way to check RAM sticks without jeopardising my mobo? Got a friend selling his DDR4 Corsair Vengeance, but, he says, it comes from a PC that had a dead motherboard. So, he is unsure if the RAMs are faulty as well. Since there's a shortage, getting new RAM sticks would be foolish. Is there any way to check if the RAMs would just destroy my motherboard as well, before trying them on?

morning ritual completed, now it's off to the races.. later-later..

Feeding the cats and I am guessing setting up the new Alienware monitor?

monitor been setup last night, amazing tool.. 180Hz but will have to play some games to really judge.

Oh. That's cool. So, currently, it's a dual monitor setup?
If that's the case do you have the option to add another monitor? If yes, how is it decided which GPU it will be plugged into?

last time you asked, i said it was 2 cards with 2 monitors each. i can add 4 more, as there are 4 empty inputs still, 2 remaining per card from the 4 each originally. i have 1070 and super 2060.

Yah, I distinctly remember you saying currently you had one monitor each plugged into each gpu. Hence, I got curious and thus wanted to know how it'd be decided which ports additional monitors would be plugged into.

nope. you even replied it. i mean, i don't blame you, it's hard to remember any replies from anyone when you fire off 400 comments a day.. just feels like you don't care about replies, doing it only for the numbers.. 🎅

https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4603470/#Comment_4603470

Dude, read again. In that comment, I only asked you what your current setup was, smh
Only now I was thinking about the situation about what happens if you win the Alienware monitor, which we joked about recently. So, that brought me to the question about on which GPU you will plug another monitor into.
Are you able to now make/understand the distinction between the two questions? This was a followup to the original question, not a repetition of it.
As for the comment numbers, none of us are saints. We are all doing it for the numbers. You have insinuated this earlier as well that I don't read comments. But, I really do, if I don't, I specifically mention, for example, that long comment, which I said I didn't read cause it was long. But, you did give me a tldr version.
I understand where your disappointment is coming from, me doing 400 comments in a day. I understand your frustration given the gap in our comments, but, I did say the competition is gonna be brutal and I am highly competitive.

Let's just have some fun. And, if you don't want me asking questions, please just lmk, instead of pointing fingers. I will stop.

no worries. you asked about plugging them in, i said 2 cards, 2 monitors each. so then now you asked if it's a dual monitor setup - no, it's 4, which i said before..

and it is decided by checking how much viewable area is not on each card, how much memory each card has, and if they have reserves. although in today's day and age, it doesn't really matter anymore, since Windows now can extend video RAM with normal RAM.. it mattered before though.

Alright. Thank you for clarifying, and thanks for bearing with me. I have never had a multi-monitor setup in my life. So, I was just curious nothing else. It's gonna take me atleast a decade or more to actually invest in a multi-monitor setup, given everything going on IRL. It feels like the kid in me still lives. So, when I see people with stuff I might not never have, I get curious and ask too many questions. On this thread, it helps my comment count as well

But, yes, I was genuinely curious as to how you decide which GPU you plugged into, and if plugging into the 10 series card while there were ports available on the 20 series card would hurt performance.

BTW, you don't have to answer that. I was just explaining where my curiosity arose from. Anwyays, if I can ever get a multi-monitor setup, I will just have fun testing everything out and learn in the process.

of course weaker monitors go into weaker cards. currently 1070 server 1080p and 1440p, while 2060 does new 1440p and 2160p TV. technically i know when weaker RAM is in PC with stronger RAM, whole array works as the weaker part, but I'm not really sure about video cards. quick question to Gemini says there's no impact from slower on the faster. mainly cause 1 card server 1 whole monitor.. and i don't do like those crossfire or whatever it is for nvidia..

OK. Thanks for quenching my curiosity. I was initially planning o get a good monitor by the end of this year. But, a luck would have it, my primary monitor started getting those lines out of nowhere. I might just try to get it repaired if it doesn't cost me a new monitor. Once the thread's over I might just disassemble it and maybe try cleaning the cable and reinserting it. Some reddit posts do claim sometimes that fixes the issue.

But, back then, we had a lot of activity on the thread and Dustin would join in with giveaways. Some portions of last year on the RN BF thread, being extremely fast-paced is a little bit of a blur still. But, I believe it'd be great to have a GA suitable for the US/EU timezones as well.

So, can we hype it up, guys?

i once took apart window air conditioner, it was VERY noisy.. after doing what i could and cleaning what could be cleaner, nothing changed... I was surprised though to see insides built mostly out of plastic foam.. although it is a good temperature barrier, like thermos..

I thought you did participate in the giveaway. Even I missed it. I was active till page 301, and I believe the giveaway was the last comment on page 302 or 303.

Nope, it stepped away around 23:30 and I think it was around 00:15. Though it's cool, I'm not mad or anything. Just happy there was a giveaway!

Well, I haven't yet taken apart any heavy appliances. Infact, I kinda tempered and slowed myself down a few years ago when I disassembled my PS3 and after multiple attempts knocked down important jumpers in an attempt to replace thermal paste under the IHS. Haven't taken huge risks since then. Even if I do pry open this monitor, I will watch atleast 20 different videos before to make sure I can do it.

But, I was mad at myself. I had just stepped away for half an hour, had to go out and then this happened. I just wanted to participate, cause, you know, I love the adrenaline rush. Anyways, I am guessing given we can keep the hype up, the frequency of these GAs is gonna go up soon.

Haven't heard of the other two. But, recently been hooked onto ChatGPT esp. with the new 5.1 model. But, I have found Grok being the best coding assistant among those that I have tried.
