Seems like every time I try to talk to one of them the call gets dropped.

Good luck with it Tim, hopefully it is much better up there in the metropolis.
Hopefully. Neither Verizon nor AT&T offered an equivalent for my area, so they won by default.

I'll know shortly.

So the CPU cooler and the T-Mobile thing are here.

Any slight hope I had of being able to install the cooler were dashed when I looked at the instruction sheet, which is basically nothing more than a couple of exploded diagrams and instructions for setting the bios, so basically its instructions for people who don't need instructions. Shit might as well be in Sanskrit as far as my ignorant ass is concerned. Probably don't need thermal paste, but since there was no mention of thermal paste on the instruction sheet, I stopped by Best Buy and got some just in case. So that will be taken care of when IT guy gets here. Of course IT guy has an IT job, so he said tonight but he's basically on call all the time and obviously work comes first. So all that shit is sitting there pending his arrival. I did at least get all the prep work done.

As for the T-Mobile thing, it's still in the box. I'm going to suck down some more of my 4-shot latte and then tackle that one momentarily.

And the first Guinea pig firestick should be here tomorrow.

Woohoo.

Of course my IT buddy is giving me shit for being completely paranoid about removing the old cooling system. But he thinks at a master level and I'm a barely at apprentice level, so I'll just take the abuse. Working on/around my computer's CPU is number three on the list of things that scare me, right after sharks (**** you Spielberg) and, after wrecking my knee last year, ladders.

If you're having issues getting the old cooling system out you could just shoot it

New internet up and running. Pleasantly surprised. It was as easy as advertised. Five bar strength. Now I'm going to see how long it takes to download a game. I think I'll start with Witcher 3.

Holy shit - this is like going from a biplane to a stealth fighter. I'm damned near on verge of tears! The entire game will download in less than half an hour. On the shit I had before, it would have taken six hours or longer.

Happy for you bud,

I would also suggest hard wiring from modem to computer if possible.

Already done.

One of the features of the mobile app was using the camera to find the best spot for gateway device. I assumed that would be near the window, but instead it was right next to my computer. They're less than six inches apart.

Still pretty much dumbfounded by how awesome this is. Haven't been this happy since the Chiefs won their latest Super Bowl.

The 4770k processor that we both had in our previous rigs still meets the minimum requirements of most games and can be highly overclocked as well.

That said... Starfield's minimum requirements are a 4790k which means it was definitely time to say goodbye to that rig.

Congrats on the upgrade Frazod. I love my 3070 video card so I know you must be enjoying yours.

The old computer, which really never had a problem before, has now apparently become possessed. New cooling system installed, core temperature fine, but for some reason the ****ing thing now won't recognize the goddamn SSD.

I unplugged it and moved it ten feet. You'd think I dropped it off the roof.

I've started drinking now.
