A Short Story About My New Build…

Posted on April 17, 2025April 18, 2025 by Michael Molenda

After getting my new GPU, I was playing a few games and noticed that the GPU temps were over 80 degrees Celsius… very bad. I thought that I just didn’t have a case that had really good airflow… so, a new case I needed and that’s all I was going to get (forshadowing: it wasn’t)….

Unboxing My New Graphics Card

Posted on April 16, 2025April 18, 2025 by Michael Molenda

It’s been a while… I am back with a few blog posts this week. Going to start with the new GPU I bought in January. The RX 6750XT. The reason I upgraded: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. That game requires 8GB or VRAM; however 12GB or more is recommended AND it also requires ray-tracing….

Posted on May 1, 2023May 1, 2023 by Michael Molenda

I did my original build in April 2019. Here are the specs of my original build: CPU: Ryzen 5 2400GMotherboard: MSi B450M…

Switching to Apple Silicon Part II: The Benchmarks

Posted on April 8, 2023June 28, 2023 by Michael Molenda

I came from an 27″ Intel Core i9-9900k. The 9900k in the iMac was gimped to begin with due to lack of appropriate thermal solution. However, it was a fast chip. Compared to other iMacs, at least. Compare an iMac to a PC built around a 9900k and there is a big difference. So, Apple…

Revisiting the Fry’s Past: Build 66 (Raidmax X08)

Posted on August 3, 2022July 3, 2023 by Michael Molenda

I chose this one because of the unique nature of the case. I did not think to do all of the testing that YouTube channels like Gamers Nexus does when I was building at Fry’s and thinking… “That’s a cool case.” Chances are: GN would tell me that “it’s a hot case.” 🙂 So, I…

“Unboxing” my first Threadripper CPU: The 1950X

Posted on April 12, 2021April 12, 2021 by Michael Molenda

From the archives: November 2017.  This was a neat experience… I guess that if you going to spend this much on a CPU, it might as well have unique packaging. The Threadripper certainly had that. I wanted to post this. I only got to do 3 Threadripper builds. It is not a mainstream CPU and…
