Got the new GPU installed. Pretty snazzy. Also managed to not let anything explode, so that’s nice.
The cable situation is horrible now though. The last GPU was powered entirely through the pcie contact thingies, this one needs an 8 pin power cable. Had to do some googling to figure out what I was doing and how to make it work, but thankfully it seems like whoever created these cables was smart enough to consider non smart cookies (me), and design the cables to only go in 1 way, so no explosions

What’d’j’ya get?
An RTZ 3060 (12gb), up from a GTX 1650
How much was it?
Four hunge, but between the card surcharges and shipping fees, it worked out to be closer to 450
