Bad news
🕑 Added 2024-11-07 18:32:32 +0000 UTCHey guys, terrible news today, unfortunately. My computer completely fried this morning when I tried installing a new SSD. I think I just completely overloaded it and shorted the power supply. It was smoking and burning and everything (you can see the scorch marks π)
So... I'm trying to figure out what is and isn't usable right now and it's possible I'm gonna have to get a new PC. The power supply is completely done and so I can't even test if my graphics card is working or not since my old PC that I'm using to test the drives can't handle the 3090. So unfortunately I'm gonna have to take at least a week off unless some miracle happens...
Thanks for your support and your patience! Luckily with all your support I can afford to buy a new PC if that's what it comes down to.
So sorry about this and thanks for all your support once again!

Once the magic smoke is let out of electronics itβs quite hard to put it back. π

It's not just the power supply unfortunately... :( The mobo is fried and the graphics card seems to work but is making weird noises that I do not trust. I ended up just buying a new computer, it's being assembled and I don't know when it'll be shipped as of now.

Well I hope it is just the power supply. New systems are ***** to work out all the bugs and get set up the way you want.

Its nothing for all the equipment affected, but I'm uploading my membership increasing that a bit. Take care! The most important thing is that you are fine. All the rest, no matter happens, no matter when, it can be solved!!! β€οΈ
