Two years ago I made a post on Reddit’s pcmasterrace (under same username) that somehow made it to /all and trended for a while.

Fast-forward to today, and I’ve found myself slowly distancing from Reddit with all the drama, weird decisions, and the feeling that any post you make can get nuked on a whim by a power-tripping mod (see: r/art).

So I wanted to anchor this moment with big chungus here on the fediverse as I start a new chapter on Lemmy. Looking forward to hanging out with everyone here and having fun again.

By the way big chungus is alive and well, the same can’t be said for the 4090 though, i’m getting coil whine from it and had to live with that until 60 series…

    I have a Gigabyte 1070 from a previous build that had coil whine.

    Ended up being fixed after a long stress test ran the fans at full speed for a while.

        It was a great many hours of running a GPU stress test that used 100% of the GPU causing the fans to go full bore.

        My guess is coil whine is caused by the parts not fitting together properly meaning that the motor not having enough oomph to move the fans over the extra friction.
