Other What's ruining your life right now?

That a 4K monitor takes the signal it wants, whether the GPU can supply it or not... I thought it was the other way round.

 

Jeff, I don't get a budget for replacement parts. If something breaks it may be months before I fix it if at all. Fixed income does not like 200+ USD boards.

 

@KayinBlack - bit like me & my monitor, that now looks like needing a new(er) GPU...

 

Still don't really understand, you choose what resolution and hz to use with the monitor?

 

Aye, a finishing tool is an absolute must, both for getting it to look good and for getting the sealant into the gap thoroughly. Putting some masking tap above the gap before you apply the sealant also helps to get a nice finish, but just be careful when removing the tape not to pull the sealant away.

 

Someone breaking my Extreme Edition's motherboard through refusal to listen and not having the money to replace it is not the same as buying a monitor and not being able to drive it.

Anyone want a 3960X and 32GB of RAM?

 

Now now...

 

Are you suggesting that no matter what resolution you set in Windows, a 4K monitor will "take" a 4K signal from the GPU?

 

Just frustrated. There's no money to replace the board and I'm tired of no PC. It's not anybody here's fault. If it's anyone's its mine for letting somebody use my PC. And that pisses me off the most-that all I can blame is me for trusting them.

 

Want, possibly... can afford/can afford to make working pc with... that'd be a nope

 

*slow realisation dawns....*

Ahhhhhhh, yes, that makes a lot of sense...

 

Or get a cast iron bathub, those feckers don't flex, ever.

 

Or just remove the bugger and leave the pipework for any future buyer to put one in.

We will have a lovely spacious bathroom with just a shower unit, space and storage.

Not had a bath for, well, must be about 20 years.

 

I wondered what that peculiar stench outside my house was...

 

As the great orator Shaggy once said, "it wasn't me".

 

Well; I was under the impression that the GPU sent the signal & if the monitor said, "Is that it...?" the monitor dealt with it and switched accordingly... or have I had a 'brain-burp' & reverted to CRT thinking...?

Nor do I - can't get (read afford) one wide enough to lie down in; yes, I'm a tad portly, and...?

 

Set my alarm for a nice day out on the water, loaded everything up, headed to the slipway, unloaded the boat from the trailer, rope gets caught and drags the boat along the concrete floor luckily taking no damage. Parked the car, locked the trailer up, jumped on the boat, lowered the engine turned the key ready to go out to the high seas and the bledy engine wouldn’t start. I’m now floating too far out to get back to shore in this boat with a knackered engine! Some guys with a power boat turn up and tow me back to shore. I wait awhile for the ramp to clear so i can load my boat back onto the trailer without getting in peoples way, these chaps “want help getting that on your trailer?” yup! Boats back on the trailer i take a wrong turning into a street which is a dead end… then have to take the trailer off turn it wrong manually, swing the car around and drive home. At home i learn how to bump start the engine , could of went out anyway!

3rd time lucky next weekend i guess?
