Reminders: - You can teach English in Japan if you have any degree. It doesn't have to be an English degree. - The average salary for full-time English teachers in Japan is ~$86,000/year. The part-timers drag the overall average down. - You don't need to speak Japanese to teach English in Japan. If you do speak it you'll be told not to speak it to students.
eh, already got a career as a surgeon don't want to downgrade
Jack Martin
go back
Luis Barnes
but why did they advertise it differently?
Ryan Wilson
Turn on PBO+AOC with the 3600 and you match the 3600X for $50 less. 3600X is a scam. The included cooler is useless for both so not an argument for it.
Elijah Morgan
Any caveats to a full tower? I had one in my list and someone told me it was too big, with no explanation of what that means in practice.
I hypothesize that maybe it had something to do with the length of cables that come with regular PSUs and such.
Camden Miller
It's a big case (for you)
You'll probably want to give it its own coffee table to live on, it can crowd your desk
John Baker
What's your favourite case?
Elijah Murphy
yeah but you can achieve more if you did it with 3600x+pbo+aoc
Levi Russell
higher boost, wraith spire, not worth the added $50
Caleb White
Well, why pay the premium for a full tower when mid towers have enough space for regular builds, without any sli set up, huge radiators etc
Lincoln Thomas
no i meant, why did the TDP advertised is 50% off
Aaron Long
any info on which 3rd party 2060 supers are most reliable/ have thr best quality? >inb4 buy a 5700 yes yes I am also heavily considering the 5700, I just want to look at all of my options
Lincoln Torres
Nope, only the non-X has any significant oc headroom. They all have the same frequency wall regardless of TDP.
In your BIOS. Where depends on the board maker, usually with or near the Precision Boost Overdrive settings.
David Ross
How I can make cinebench to run specific core? It's always using my worse one.
Joseph Rogers
Retard question. I am getting an SSD and want to make it as my main drive. Currently I have a HDD drive with windows 10 installed. Can I instal windows 10 on my SSD, set it as my main boot up drive in bios, and then slot in my old HDD (with windows still on it) or will I have to delete everything from my HDD?
Brayden Nguyen
Oh...
I, uh... put my computers on the floor. I may live in a tiny apartment, but I think I can spare an extra 0.5 sqft somewhere under my desks.
Because I want to, and it's only $10 more.
I'm not asking if it's optimal. I'm asking if it's going to cause any problems, for example with cabling.
Damn I'm stupid had to turn pbo on advanced. It's that cou boost overclock override?
Nolan Lee
now set it to manual...
Samuel Kelly
Recommend a cheap air cooler for the poozen 3600 bros
Levi Parker
4.2Ghz at 1.3V is the wall for Zen2 regardless of CPU.
Eli Anderson
Back when I was living in a 9.7sqm (104 square foot) apartment, I had room for a full tower. Not having space is about not organising shit properly. If you can't fit your bed, computer, a hobby bench, washer, dryer, convection oven/convection microwave, hotplate, fridge, freezer, space to store your clothes, toilet and shower in under 10sqm there's something wrong with you.

>The average salary for full-time English teachers in Japan is ~$86,000/year. Eehhh, starting you're looking at 31k + housing + healthcare. I really doubt that 86k is the average, 70k I can see but not nearly 90k USD. You do English teaching for the culture and ability to live somewhere else, not for the wage.
B450 bios flashback went off without a hitch first time. Thanks for your help anons.

So i'm a clueless idiot upgrading my GTX970 to a RTX2080Ti and hear I'll need to reinstall the driver despite it being a single unified exe from the website. What's the best way to do this?
Was thinking 1. swap cards 2. uninstall "old" driver 3. reboot to let it do it's registry thing 4. install "new" driver
Is this the best way to do it? Is it even necessary?
Noah Sullivan
Alright Lads, looking at monitors. Want a 1440p 144hz but looking to spend no more than about £250/260
Anyone have an experience/advice about these? Any other suggestions are welcome too
Don't really want to be forking out another £100/150 either so none of that plz
Thomas Barnes
Based. I bet he voted rightwing as opposed to AMDrones being leftist niggers
Austin Walker
The MSI Gaming X looks good. Just look at what's available then check some professional reviews. Check value, temps, noisr.
Julian Sanchez
I usually just take out the old card and install the new one. Not fucking around with the driver unless there is a newer driver available. If I experience issues, I will do a removal and fresh reinstall of the driver package.
Zachary Stewart
if you're going to try landing an asian cutie I would recommend Taiwanese, they're relatively westernised and desperate to leave taiwan because it's a sinking ship
Japanese have a really fucked up culture in a lot of ways, Chinese and Vietnamese aren't really civilised yet, Koreans aren't interested in white men, so Taiwanese is the way to go imo
Cameron Wood
with all the asian girl talk I'll say chinese women are nice I'm from the bahamas and we have a good deal of chinese immigrants coming in for work, mostly men some women also come and they tend to stick to themselves (other Chinese guys) but some can stray outside of that and they all seem very nice and kind fuck the japanese though, seriously
Adrian Howard
Dell one isn't even a 2560x1440 panel. And I remember reading somewhere that that Samsung model has very high latency and doesn't even come with any adaptive sync technology. Face it bong, you can't get what you want with your budget. Either settle for less, or pay up more.
Colton Jenkins
How big of a performance hit there's between 1080p and 1440p? I was thinking about getting the 2070 Super and swapping my 24'' 1080p for 27'' 1440p. Would the 2070 Super be able to max out AAA games in 3-4 years from now?
Brayden Cook
Whats you guys take on the amount of cores for a gaming PC? Obviously I want my game to run smooth, but a bit of multitasking on the 2nd screen is a must as well. Do you always go higher than 4 cores?
Adam Howard
at 60fps? yes
Henry Baker
Yes
Kayden Peterson
it honestly depends on what games youre playing newer stuff (2012+) go for at least 6 cores
Xavier James
>Do you always go higher than 4 cores? intcel corelets will tell you that 4c/8t is overkill
Thanks, I just found a bunch of advice suggesting using "DDU", Display Driver Uninstall utility so that you're getting a truly fresh install and eliminate the chance of any 970-ness slipping through the cracks and potentially causing issues & wanted to make sure I wasn't going to run into problems
Eli Peterson
>£250 for 1440p 144hz Sounds almost too good to be true. Where have they cut costs?
Adrian Torres
When I change PBO from enabled to advanced so I could get autoOC my CPU voltage goes only to 1.38. what to do So I can get it to boost 1.45 like with PBO boost enabled?
Josiah Howard
Is G/Free sync that important? I either hear memes or you cant live without it
Isaiah Ward
What are you talking about? Leave the voltage on auto. It'll do it's thing. Run cpu-z benchmark with it enabled and disabled to compare, if it gives higher scores you're good.
Luis Anderson
Are aftermarket cards usually more expensive than reference when they come out? Wondering if I shouldn't just buy a 2070 now than wait for aftermarket 5700XT's.
Dominic Murphy
2070 Super is only averaging ~100fps on AAA titles in the current year.
Kevin Carter
Stands are cheap and cant tilt them And no speakers built in
Josiah Foster
Also the final one had Free Sync? Would that solve the problem?
Lincoln Morgan
FUCK the asshole who told me to go 9400f instead of 2600 half the threads for 70$ more in price and i can't have chrome open with a few tabs while gayming and i can't even OC that garbo CPU REEEEEEEEEE
Colton Young
Also that second one isn't even 1440p lol
Brandon Collins
Why do so many high end monitors have shitty built in speakers? I don't understand. I'd rather the monitor be £50 cheaper, I use headphones or my own 2.1 system anyway.
Luke Green
It gives lower scores because only getting 1.38V. boost clocks over 100MHz lower with that. When I change back to pbo enabled it gets 1.46V again when boosting but then the boost clocks are limited to 4400MHz.
Adrian Lopez
They're TN. Also the second one is 1080p
Charles Ortiz
>9400f meme when the 2700x was $199 during prime day
