holy shit what

I'm in awe

lexus actually made a nice looking car for once?!

I mean it still looks needlessly angry with their corporate DRLs

lol

i mean it's the first time they've designed something that doesn't look like an angry alien baby eater

this is what I meant

but the cars themselves look nothing alike

and even then, I fully approve

it's such a good look >>

nah they're not the same i wouldn't worry

i hope they make it.

[jaunty light]

Eugh

Puke green

[odd sand]

its interesting how green is the least popular car color by a wide margin

Even yellow is more common. Orange was rare until they introduced the flat orange with the crosstrek and it was everywhere for a couple years. Still popular with the challenger bc of dukes of hazzard etc

I guess I would say tan/brown is 2nd least popular although buick and honda use a pearlescent brown for their suvs these days

[sly elk]

green hasn't been that popular for a while though

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/ice-cube-car-lowrider-westcoast-gif-9275953

Green = john deere

And john deere sucks!

[sly elk]

it was very popular in the 90s

[odd sand]

Yeah I just find it interesting how almost every other common color is represented a decent amount these days. Although by far white grey and black are most common now. Ppl are boring

[jaunty light]

Dont insult me white truck

[odd sand]

Green was only popular in the 90s for ghetto cruisers

[jaunty light]

Non neutral colors are usually only not ass if you buy upwards of 70k

[sly elk]

i would argue that white and grey are most popular because that's what dealers order, and most people don't custom order cars

[jaunty light]

I would still get an ice white gtr

[odd sand]

id say 70s and 80s were when green was at all represented then fell off

[sly elk]

as for the color green

no I very much disagree

green and red were probably the most popular ford explorer colors back when they first went hella popular

[odd sand]

can you imagine being around that corner at sunset and the glare from it

[odd sand]

my friend's challenger has that problem bc his hood is so large and he buffs it to a shine

[sly elk]

there was also that awful aqua that ford used

in the early 90s

it felt like you couldn't go 1 mile without seeing an escort hatchback in that awful color

[odd sand]

that green was only offered bc it was the throwback to the 60s and 70s mustang where green was a popular stock color

sea green ford anal probe huh... that's a rare oe

I had a banana yellow Geo Storm

Lets see my cars went: red yellow red black black blue

[sly elk]

i'm having a hard time finding it

oh maybe it was geo metros

EW YES

the 90s version of "your ride has arrived"

-hides-

[odd sand]

if you want ugly cars, look for a geo storm wagon .... why

[odd sand]

Yeah the metro convertible was a real head scratcher

[sly elk]

I have to admit

geo was a brand that really made a statement

if you were an edgelord

it's funny because there's a small group of offroad purists

who think the tracker is one of the best offroaders ever

[odd sand]

Isuzu unibodies that aged like someone snapped by Thanos

[sly elk]

and they secretly wish they could get a suzuki samurai in the US

oh my bad

it's the Jimny now

[odd sand]

You never saw a geo storm older than 10 years in the midwest bc they rusted away

[sly elk]

you don't really see them here anymore either

[odd sand]

about 5 years ago I saw one up in green bay also banana yellow and did a double take... i hadn't seen one in like 15 years

They must have gotten it from down south

[sly elk]

to be fair this is a 2000 with 80k miles and

5k?!

why 5k?!

[odd sand]

ok i need to stop chatting and sleep lol

I paid 1900 for my geo metro at 2 years old lmao

Guy had drove it down to chicago for work everyday and put 60k mi a year onto it

[sly elk]

you could but a lot better for 5k

[odd sand]

Front third of the hood looked sandblasted by stones bc of the highway debris

[sly elk]

for just $1k more

[odd sand]

Pretty sure the top speed was literally 55-60mph so you couldnt even do the limit on the freeway heh

[sly elk]

w body with the 3800 😄 ...
wait that's not a w body wtf

[odd sand]

thats not bad for 6k. make a good pizza delivery vehicle heh

[sly elk]

holy

I thought the W body was the longest run platform

nope

[odd sand]

my rule of thumb was spend 3-5k around 75k miles, drive it 75-100k then sell before it needs major repairs and get like 1500-2000 for it

[sly elk]

to be fair, the only thing that stayed the same was the name

The GM B platform was introduced in 1926 with the Buick Master Six, and the Oldsmobile Model 30, and had at least 12 major re-engineering and restyling efforts, in 1937, 1939, 1941, 1949, 1954, 1957, 1959, 1961, 1965, 1971, 1977, and 1991; along with interim styling changes in 1942, 1969 and 1980 that included new sheetmetal and revised rooflines. The platform was downsized in length by approximately 10 inches in 1977 and reduced in weight by an average of 800 pounds

man this is a miserable bench seat

if you're stuck sitting in the middle

no

they came from the factory with foggy headlights

?!

also if the celica floats your boat, get one?

lol I was kidding about the headlights, but that is a super common issue with them

well there's your reason right there

i'm lazy and don't understand the point of buying anyuthing higher than a 392

the 392 only because you get better suspension/brakes over a r/t

and even then i kinda hate how dodge doesn't make them quiet anymore

soo

you're cross shopping a versa and a celica?

yea i really miss quiet v8 cars

https://youtu.be/D3nY7JsVy34?t=92
why can't they make chargers like this anymore 😦

[burnt swallow]

So apparently Gamers Nexus has a video already on the new Intel Arc GPUs

3090 for maybe $600
Wat

[sly elk]

dangit

i have no idea where the usb hub on my right monitor is plugged in lmao

aha, found it!

[dull garnet]

was looking at 980 Ti founder edition yesterday. that's something i really don't need buuut...

when you see shit like this

you get to appreciate nvidias good drivers and amds functional ones

[burnt swallow]

I just watched that earlier

[burnt swallow]

Why can't I see this emote in my emote list

[real edge]

its from this server

I do not have nitro

[burnt swallow]

I do

I don't see that emote

[burnt swallow]

:haha:

What

???

[real edge]

lolll

its right there

look through ff14 emote list

[burnt swallow]

I found it

I can't use it

:haha:

???

Even if I actually type the emote in I don't see it

[real edge]

that is odd

[burnt swallow]

It's literally not in my emote list when I type

But I can see it in the emote list for the server

But I can't use it

???

cries in mobile app

ITS EVEN IN MY FREQUENTLY USED LIST NOW

[sly elk]

nvm it's just a normal dirty truck

i thought it was one of the 2023s hank and I have been looking at like

THOSE JUST CAME OUT

how does someone trash it that fast

but that's not a 2023 lol

[glass wadi]

reconnected my hard drive after a couple days to try and move stuff to a new ssd and somehow it works now

not trusting it tho

[glass wadi]

managed to move over the stuff i wanted to keep

[dapper nymph]

may be too vague but, if any has some idea on why it happened, my pc restarted itself twice in a row with no warning

...

does msi dragon center have an issue where it just forces restarts?

[deep obsidian]

lord

[deep obsidian]

you had a volmgr error

bsod maybe?

[real edge]

so with the mini spikes each gpu has, you would need a 1500+watt psu to run this thing

[deep obsidian]

absolute degens

good luck to psu manufacturers

[dapper nymph]

i'll keep looking

[real edge]

psu manufacturers ...

damn

[deep obsidian]

what does the volmgr error say

i like how both nvidia and psu manus play ping pong with blame for pcs crashing on some gpus from 30x0

[real edge]

I think that we will see a big improvement to PSUs over the next couple of years

swapping out the current one for another might be a waste given what might come on the horizon

[deep obsidian]

i wanna see more 12v implementation

[real edge]

"error dump failed because of an error" lmao

[deep obsidian]

ms forums dont say shit

funky

[dapper nymph]

yeah, not very helpful when it says error caused by error

[deep obsidian]

event id 161

looking into it

this is the most broad error code ever

replace psu
disconnect external devices
switch off link state power managment

update drivers

[dapper nymph]

all i get at most has been... related to safe mode and /sfc

[deep obsidian]

can you check your disks health maybe

[potent arrow]

Don't ever ping me with a LTT shithead video ever

[dapper nymph]

at least

it hasn't restarted on it's own yet after 30 minutes

again

[deep obsidian]

in safe mode or normal

[dapper nymph]

currently

normal

[deep obsidian]

could also be some windows update fuckup

i will forever curse hp that the update of windows broke every driver for the printers

my fav troubleshooting was when my mate messaged me about his pc not booting

and i asked whats the weird stain on the side of the case

"my cat pissed on it but that cant be it"

yeah pins were wet

under the fucking cpu

[paper tusk]

[sharp star]

So I got a new Gigabyte M27Q and I like it

Works well on just about everything I own, including the PS5 beta

[real edge]

good cheap display

[sharp star]

No VRR for PS5 though

rip

[real edge]

response times are mediocre

but

if you do not notice it

then its fine

[umbral moss]

I think the AX1600 is pretty indicative of what you're going to get

physics won't magically change because "it's the future"

speaking of, I think I need to replace my PSU again

when I got home yesterday the PC was stuck in a start-stop cycle trying to power on

I don't know what keeps killing them in my case, they only last like three years and eat shit

[real edge]

the current popular PSUs are not really well protected against mini spikes, so they tend to close or shut off when they happen, but new future ones will have better protection against them, that is one definitive change that I think will happen

[umbral moss]

oh, I mean, yeah

the AX1600 apparently has programmable OCP soft and hard limits

so you can cushion yourself against transients

I don't think you're going to find that kind of tech trickling down to the 550W range though, since any PC that's still using that kind of power supply probably doesn't have a GPU that can pull 1200W transients either

[real edge]

we will probably see it for 750w-850w psus at the lowest I think, that kind of protection

[umbral moss]

largely the "recommended" PSU on the GPU box is getting closer to "you actually need this" and not a "you can get away with a $30 220W PSU" anymore

yeah

member when nvidia was recommending 850W PSUs for the GTX 480

you absolutely didn't need anything that large

they just wanted to make sure you had a +12V with enough amps to drive it

yeah, PSUs should last forever

I had an ax860i 😔

[real edge]

close to same, 6 years old, corsair HXi 750w

I never had a problem with it so far

I can probably slot a 3080 inside it

and it will be fine

but it will be approaching a decade old when the 3080 starts to peeter off like the current pascal gpus

that is when it starts getting scary

[sharp star]

I had an old AX850 from 12 years ago

it finally gave up

Or rather, it was unable to keep up

[dull garnet]

I have the 650 P2

6 years in now

[real edge]

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[umbral moss]

I remember when anandtech used to do actual thorough EE reviews of PSUs

[dull garnet]

Pee

[umbral moss]

measuring ripple and efficiency curves using programmable loads with variable reflected power loads

flextronics seems to be the best at the high power end

the AX1600 gets really high marks for ripple suppression and transient handling

plus the efficiency/loading curve is breddy gud since it's a digital PSU

[potent arrow]

I wonder if atx12vo will ever become a thing

[umbral moss]

analog PSUs used to follow the "shoot for ~60% loading for max efficiency" rule

[potent arrow]

... Christ

[umbral moss]

ah man, that reminds me of the old dell optiplex bug I had to deal with when I was working at my uni

sometimes the thing would just die and refuse to power on unless you pulled the aux connector off the board, tried to boot it, and then plugged it back in

never did figure out why pulling the 12V aux would resurrect the thing

[potent arrow]

What the fuck? Is that a grounding issue?

[umbral moss]

no idea, it would work almost 100% of the time unless the PSU was truly dead

and it was every optiplex on the campus with a certain chassis design, not just one fucked up unit

[potent arrow]

Almost definitely grounding I would think

[umbral moss]

someone would call and say their PC didn't turn on, I'd crack the clamshell, do the aux connector dance, and it would work again

if it was a ground issue it would just fail again, but it wouldn't happen for months

there's no RF ringing to be like "maybe it's an inductance vswr issue" either, it's a damn DC line with no ripple

and these people worked in office environments, not tech labs where there would be nasty HF signals

fuckin mystery, garbage ass dell computers

https://old.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/wdqzl3/amd_passes_intel_in_market_cap/

surprising

[umbral moss]

wish I'd dumped like 25k in AMD when it was $2 a share

ooff, yeah

apple in 1999 when they were near death's door

talk about a "wish for a delorean" moment

$25k in apple in 1999, more like "retire in 2018"

[hard drift]

the gap has grown a ton, it's now 36.2 for intel vs 96.85 for amd

makes sense when intel has made some pretty bad moves

[real edge]

from bulldozer to this

[hard drift]

killed optane completely, absolutely awful gpu launch and drivers, rumors of delays for their new workstation cpus

[hard drift]

probably going to get worse from here

i mean it's normal, it's a tok architecture like hank(?) said, there's not going to be real improvements until 14th gen

and even then the leaks say the gains aren't as much but games will feel a ton smoother with the new cpus because of the min fps being way higher than 12th gen

here's one of the rumors/leaks

[modest moss]

Resizable BAR, is this worth enabling in my bios?

[hard drift]

yes

it can net extra performance in some titles

[modest moss]

any potential downsides?

[umbral moss]

not that I've heard of

I think it's just disabled by default in case your hardware doesn't support it

[modest moss]

I'll stick it on and see if I notice any difference, thanks

[umbral moss]

5% is breddy gud, but the zen 4 leaks are like 20-25% over the 12600

although those are in like, cinebench?

[hard drift]

it just says games

[umbral moss]

I'm still debating if I want to wait for zen 4 and just take the L on the consumer platform, or wait for TR4 and get on the HEDT train again

although I don't think I have a use case for 128 threads as an average spud user

[hard drift]

in theory every game that allocates a lot of vram should benefit but in reality it doesn't do much. there's 0 downside

[modest moss]

you barely use your computer anyway

[umbral moss]

most users barely use their computer lmao

[modest moss]

so don't overspend

[umbral moss]

I buy for long-term use

[modest moss]

save a bit, buy a big tiddy anime statue as well

[umbral moss]

spend $5000 now, get 6+ years out of it before it gets to the unacceptable performance territory

instead of being constantly pushed out of relevance with $1000 upgrades every 18 months

[hard drift]

oh yeah, forgot to post the i7 results

those minimum frames 🙏

[modest moss]

so you're gonna do some daft shit like Ice, but hopefully with working parts

[umbral moss]

I mean, I spent $7000 on my current tower but most of that was watercooling bobbins

I didn't spend $7000 on hardware and blow up half of it

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

can you reuse any of your cooling?

[umbral moss]

yeah

although the pumps are getting pretty old, they've been in continuous service since 2013

[hard drift]

most of the time the only things you need to change are blocks

[umbral moss]

I already bought four backup/replacement pumps

[hard drift]

that's the benefit of custom cooling

[modest moss]

wait, was it you that was talking about doing a build in a nice wooden cabinet?

[umbral moss]

yeah, and AM5 is using the same footprint as AM4 so waterblocks should fit with a minimum amount of modding

[umbral moss]

yeah, that's me

[modest moss]

yeah spend all your money on it

[umbral moss]

I have all the boards, just have to cut out the holes and put the board tray on it

[modest moss]

lol

[umbral moss]

apparently corsair makes a waterblock for m.2 SSDs so that's going in the loop too

thermal throttle? not with a fuckin 140x3 radiator on it buddy

[hard drift]

don't they also make a ram waterblock or no?

i know someone did

[umbral moss]

they might, but ram doesn't get that hot

they also make full-board blocks to cover the PCH and shit but those chips also never get hot if you have enough airflow in your case

[hard drift]

it will not work for 14th gen

[umbral moss]

you're talking about dissipating like, 40W of heat or some shit

watercooling a PCH makes no sense

[modest moss]

do you really need water for an ssd?

[hard drift]

yes

[umbral moss]

if you're at the point where you need XXXTREME cooling for your board chips you're doing a LN2 submersion build anywya

[modest moss]

my 980 pro is only getting to like 50c with the mobo heatsink

[hard drift]

ssds get extremely hot and if you go gen 5 ssds it's going to make a lot of heat

[umbral moss]

yeah, the thermal density is what gets you

they're tiny and there's nowhere for the heat to go, even with an aluminum spreader

[hard drift]

yeah, my ssds are 31c 🙏

although one uses the default motherboard heatsink and is hotter at 35c

but the second i put that thing under load installing a game i bet it'll jump badly 😔

[modest moss]

my second ssd is 36c with no heatsink

[hard drift]

get a heatsink

[modest moss]

no

[hard drift]

that's how my old one died 😔 it fried itself

[modest moss]

36c won't kill anything

[hard drift]

yeah but if you install stuff on it

it's no doubt getting hot

[umbral moss]

I mean, you also don't normally run your SSD for that long as an average user

although more games might start using directstorage now that AMD supports pcie 5.0

[modest moss]

I didn't even add extra case fans

no fucks given

[hard drift]

there's now ssds for direct storage coming out

ugly things

i mean i still wouldn't reuse your current block on 14th gen

[umbral moss]

I thought the MP600 and other SSDs in its generation were the minimum for directstorage

since they're PS5 compatible

[hard drift]

yeah, it's probably just market speak but it's "game optimized firmware" and "Designed for the directstorage api"

[umbral moss]

I thought the limitation for directstorage was the sequential read speed

needs to be a certain value or directstorage just goes "nah, too slow chump"

[hard drift]

yeah, the dumbest part about that nvme i linked is it doesn't say speeds

[umbral moss]

MP600 claims to be 7GB/s at full throttle, which seems to be all new-gen SSDs

there isn't really much separating SSDs these days as far as I can tell

just a matter of picking the brand you want in your tower

EK nickel plating

[hard drift]

time to write your own update

[umbral moss]

beats threadripper chips

yeah, with double the power budget lmao

[hard drift]

they already are

i promise you this new 6ghz mark they're going for is going to be 400w+ real quick

leave it to a pro to handle it you have shit luck

[umbral moss]

I have two 140x3 radiators earmarked for my next tower

dedicated 140x3 dual row for GPU, 140x3 single row for CPU

I don't think I need two 140x3 radiators for a GPU 🤔

even at 600W a 140x3 should be able to keep up

I have a titan xp-2 on the same loop as a 6850k and the GPU runs about parity with my rad temps according to afterburner

that's only on a 2x200 setup, which is less surface area than 3x140

[hard drift]

keep in mind that it's tdp when in actuality draw will be higher

[umbral moss]

plus the separated loops pulls 150W off the GPU line

[umbral moss]

TDP for the 4090 is supposed to be 650-ish, I thought

there's no way the 4090 is hitting 800W sustained, you're way out of the realm of air cooling at that point

[hard drift]

yes but tdp means nothing considering the 3090 ti is like 350 and still draws more than that

[umbral moss]

isn't that if you unlock the boost limiter to 120%?

[hard drift]

no

even without it

yeah, the tdp is terrible these days, if it's 600w tdp excpect in the ballpark of 700+

[umbral moss]

yeah, that's the onboard firmware allowing your 20% overhead

350*1.2 -> 420

yeah, although the power limiter is restricting the maximum heat output 😔

even with AB set to 120% my GPU is like "boy, I sure love power throttles" as soon as the GPU temperature gets over 40C

so the core clock starts bouncing to keep the power draw within the limit

[hard drift]

my card said it's 350w or something and it said in asterisk "can draw 500 watts"

atleast it said it but still insane

[umbral moss]

I always hit power limits on my titan xp

[hard drift]

shunt mod time

[umbral moss]

it's like 350-ish before the power limiter engages

XIV always causes my GPU to power limit

unlocked framerates just switch straight to a solid 1 on my power/voltage limit graph

[hard drift]

he doesn't play unlocked 😔 pretty sure

what happened to your whole bs of "optimized gcd" or whatever

[umbral moss]

if I locked it at 60 it would probably be fine, but the core clock I chose isn't power stable with unlocked FPS in XIV

the vcore needed to sustain it causes a cascade of voltage/power limits fighting each other

[hard drift]

can't you workaround it with powertables?

[umbral moss]

that's with the power budget bumped in afterburner

it wouldn't take that core clock at all without it

[hard drift]

i mean even further modding

[umbral moss]

I mean, I could hardware mod it but shunt modding the titan is kind of a bitch

[hard drift]

i'm well aware of that lmao, locks in general are worse

[umbral moss]

I have two series pumps running at 60% output into two 1L reservoirs and a 2x200 radiator

[hard drift]

more frames = lower input latency generally want to be double your refreshrate for maximum responsiveness supposedly

[umbral moss]

the temperature tap for the radiator is my water temp reference and the GPU core temp is usually pegged to it

[hard drift]

i was thinking something like amd has but nvidia doesn't have an equivalent that i know of 😔

https://www.igorslab.de/en/the-new-morepowertool-1-3-9-final-is-now-available-for-download/

this is what amd users use to unlock even more power

[umbral moss]

isn't that what rivatuner does?

I don't have a probe reading for VRMs on this card, as far as I know

[hard drift]

it's more than that pretty sure

[umbral moss]

I'm sure they run pretty hot since I used my own thermal pads on the waterblock and the block itself doesn't quite make good contact to anything but the core

holy shit, this epomaker reward redemption process is so fucking tedious

why couldn't they use a pledge fulfillment service instead of this convoluted shit

they keep sending emails being like "we keep getting emails from backers saying they made a mistake during the redemption process" and sending the same video tutorial link

if everyone is fucking it up, maybe the problem is your process and not everyone else on the planet

[umbral moss]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have my radiator mounted externally because it doesn't fit inside my case

which makes the 2x200 mounted outside extremely fuckin loud

2x 26 dB with no pwm

[odd sand]

Second-guessing getting the custom watercooling this fall. Bc if I get the 15th gen later for the Tock of the chiplet design, I would at the very least need some new piping and new CPU block which would probably be around $150-200

[umbral moss]

just get the core components

pumps, radiators, reservoirs

[odd sand]

If I plan on a short upgrade period it might be better to just buy a 360mm AIO for now

And then I'll probably keep the 15th gen for awhile and I could do custom then

[umbral moss]

tubing can be reused if the socket is roughly the same distance from the other components on your new board

which reminds me, I need to buy more of that reinforced tygon tubing, that shit lasted me 9 years without cracking

whatever voodoo they did to make that plastic is worth every dead animal

[odd sand]

Also if I wanted to get a new case bc the 570X will be like 5-6 years old at that point

[umbral moss]

just get a new case now

it's like a hermit crab, get a bigger shell and grow into it

[odd sand]

I'm trying to keep down expenses until ive paid off the CC again.

I'm dropping it about 2k a month so it will be at 8k in 2 weeks

Moving was expensive

[umbral moss]

do you need it right now?

like I'm probably going to have to buy a new PSU this week and go way out of my budget

unless I go home tonight and my PC magically resurrects itself because I was stuck in some weird thermal overload protection loop

[dull garnet]

tfw you've had no pc issues in over a decade

[umbral moss]

I think I just forced an overtemp error because I was at my girlfriend's for the weekend and the room where my PC is kept was closed the whole time

with no AC

v nice 50C ambient, easy

[dull garnet]

sheesh

sounds like heck

[umbral moss]

yeah

I'll try it again tonight and see if it unfucks itself, if it's truly dead I'm out $loadsamoney 😔

probably end up getting an ax1600 out of sequence for my upgrade cycle

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[odd sand]

You didn't leave the PC in sleep mode or turn it off?

[real edge]

what are you doing to have expensive psus die after 3 years

sounds odd

[umbral moss]

I usually leave it in low clock mode with the monitors off

it's not normally an issue, I suspect the intake under the PSU vent is clogged again 😔

[odd sand]

I remember the one time my PSU fan failed and I came home to smelling burnt plastic

Pulled the plug on that system so fast and put it in front of the A/C vent lol

[umbral moss]

I had an enermax die on me a few years ago because the intake fan seized up and the power electronics were like "nope"

[real edge]

dust?

[umbral moss]

yeah

the exhaust on my case is dummy powerful so there's a lot of passive intake through all the seams and low flow areas in the chassis

maybe I'll just take my air compressor to it and see if I can reset the clock and buy some time until october

[odd sand]

Everyone and their mother has an O11 now

[dull garnet]

put some anime stickers on it

[odd sand]

I quite like my current case. The back side is a little messy but thats mostly me being lazy and I can possibly fix that if I redo the cooling with the upgrade

It would be nice to have front-panel USB-C etc tho so that's why I figured by the next upgrade I would look into a new case

So if the first trend was RGB then it was White, what will be the next trend?

All clear cases?

[dull garnet]

all clear cases is sooo 2002

[odd sand]

I forgot PSUs used to be top-mounted

[dull garnet]

oh yeah baybee

hot air into the psu

what could go wrong

they'd often have a second fan too

[umbral moss]

the all-acrylic clear cases got replaced with all-glass clear cases

somehow we've accepted more expensive and more fragile

[dull garnet]

i had something like this around 2005

vrrrrr

[real edge]

my psu is at the top because I have an inverted case

but its not taking in any dust there cause its not near any of the fans

[umbral moss]

I think I'm going to put my PSU on teflon risers in the custom chassis and add a dedicated duct with a gasket so it can only intake its own air without being forced to accept any negative pressure from the rest of the chassis

[odd sand]

Yeah that's the one thing I don't like about the 570X is it's in a box on the bottom instead of the entire length of the case, so it makes fitting a lot of cables into a modular super hard

You basically need a pair of those curved needlenose pliers

[dull garnet]

here's your psu bro

[umbral moss]

😔

I had one of those and it died on me

[dull garnet]

ahaha

i was about to say

i recall them being notorious for failing

[umbral moss]

then I turbo killed it trying to replace the PSU fan because the 12V rail internally was hot

forgot to pull the ATX connector off the board while I was dicking with the guts of the unit and blew the whole board out

quite literally "a moment of laxity spawns a lifetime of heresy"

[dull garnet]

where the copper at

[umbral moss]

copper sucks as structural material

it's so soft and gummy to drill into

[dull garnet]

looks cool though

[umbral moss]

just use stainless with temperature bluing

adding threads to copper is fucking suffering because the metal is so soft

and anything you screw into it will tear out the threads no problem

depends, usually brass though

the S-tier ones are copper but finding 100% copper is pretty rare

the endcaps are usually steel or brass and the fins are copper

[dull garnet]

lol

[sly elk]

the plus side to those is you get access to the bottom ventilation

but yea, pain in the butt to run cables to. Heck even with the full length ones it's annoying

i think the o11d way is the best haha

plus you never have to worry about cables being too short

[deep sapphire]

These are so cringe lol

[dull garnet]

all you did was buy product bruh

[sly elk]

idk I think they're ok

[fair parcel]

what you mean ours is almost done

[deep sapphire]

I’m sticking to it

[sly elk]

hank wants the ship where his tech is banished to the man cave

[deep sapphire]

Hell yeah

[sly elk]

and the rest of the house is Live Laugh Love paradise

[deep sapphire]

When I game I don’t want anyone around me.

[sly elk]

heh

suddenly i wanna do a live love laugh pc build

make the case out of used pallet wood

add some dried flowers

[deep sapphire]

Because she would see me erp with cat girls

[dull garnet]

hank games on an original game boy in his 40 year old dodge only

the only game he plays is tetris

[sly elk]

HEHE

[deep sapphire]

Columns on the game gear okay

[dull garnet]

yuck

[sly elk]

I still proudly remember a few months ago, my guildies in dofus invited me to a tetris wars online thingy

I destroyed them so bad they cried that I was a cheater XD

man I'm not even that good

but I ❤️ tetris

[fair parcel]

lol hank cheating on his girl with some catgirls SMH my head

[dull garnet]

does hank play ff14

Nintendo was banned in China for like 2 decades lol

[fair parcel]

they call him hardwarERPhank

[dull garnet]

hardware wank

have you seen the catgirls?

[odd sand]

How the fuck do you meet ppl on animal crossing?

[dull garnet]

tedious slow typing on a switch software keyboard, i assume

[umbral moss]

meeting on campus probably

[dull garnet]

i imagine you switch to a different service pretty quick

[odd sand]

Honestly, this sounds wholesome af for understanding other cultures.

[dull garnet]

i know someone that met their current gf on animal crossing

[odd sand]

Yeah the name is kinda oof, but say you had some ethnic chinese in your school but didn't know how to relate to them or why they had troubles with certain things. Could have a game like that and understand where they were coming from with pressures etc.

[dull garnet]

before she became a real girl

funko pop

v original idea do not steal

[modest moss]

imagine spending 10k CAD on a PC and sticking a $10 funko pop in it

[umbral moss]

can't even use the minions from SE store because I think those are 6.5" too

[sly elk]

sooo

ice needs to buy a bigger case

to fit a marin figure

[dull garnet]

i have a polygonal pikachu that is about that height

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/marin-kitagawa-marin-sono-bisque-doll-wa-koi-wo-suru-my-dress-up-darling-marin-happy-gif-24940204

[umbral moss]

just buy a 3d printer and make a figure that fits

you have money to waste, just do it

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-what-are-you-waiting-for-determined-angry-gif-5247874

[dull garnet]

buy a 6" solid gold bar

[sly elk]

naw bruh

silver

it has to be a bar of silver with stupid memes imprinted in it

hey that was cute ice

[modest moss]

he needs something under 6"... maybe a life sized casting of uh

[sly elk]

ah just fill the computer with lalafel statues

[umbral moss]

oh, he used hard tubing

[modest moss]

dude is that yours

nanamo is top tier

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/lalafell-gif-22445528

[odd sand]

She looks way too thin there

[odd sand]

I can't see that anymore without thinking about that stupid kongming dance clip lol

Just cut her feet off /s

[modest moss]

Etsy has Marin figures just under 6" btw

it's Etsy

I'm assuming some nerd made them

especially considering there are bikini and nude versions

[umbral moss]

most of those are 3d printed

or are just the STLs

[modest moss]

yeah it looks printed

[umbral moss]

what's kind of annoying about etsy is that it takes a fucking age to train the algorithm to serve you SFW content

but if you look at one NSFW STL file to see what the fuck the thumbnail was supposed to be, your feed gets flooded with NSFW STLs for weeks

like, yes, I love tiddy, no, I don't want to see a million badly made tiddy STLs

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[modest moss]

I'd use Nanamo tbh

[dull garnet]

you can't put a prize figure in your 8000 dolla pc

https://tenor.com/view/anime-anime-dance-anime-dance-gif-eiko-ya-boy-kongming-gif-25489712

[odd sand]

Of course they already have models even though the series isn't out yet Odd name too.

[potent arrow]

I already ordered the entire gunpla line lol

[odd sand]

Although why do so many of the good female pilots in gundam have to be menhera in some way

[potent arrow]

I mean

That's just newtypes

Lol

[odd sand]

I guess that's kinda true, but there are good male pilots who aren't menhera too. I'm just thinking back across Gundam atm and realizing so many of them are like menhera/dandere or something

[potent arrow]

All of the good pilots are manhera

Like literally

[odd sand]

Lunamaria acts normal.... sucks balls.

[potent arrow]

Amuro, Camille, Char, Bannagher etc

[odd sand]

I would say those 4 are decent enough

[potent arrow]

I only can speak for UC, but being a newtype basically means you are depressed, anxious or absolutely fucking crazy

[odd sand]

I'm talking like Quess, Plu or w/e her name was, the girl Shinn liked in Seed Destiny, etc.

[potent arrow]

I don't watch seed so I can't comment, but Quests was definitely a newtype of sorts lol

[odd sand]

I guess the one girl in IBO on the antagonist side was decent enough, she just had that one dude on her brain 24/7

[potent arrow]

UC newtypes were basically space autism, for a lack of a better term

Behaviors always matched up

See cybernewtypes

Like four

[odd sand]

I don't think AU has been much better ... have you seen Kira or Setsuna, or Mikazuki? heh

[potent arrow]

Setsuna is absolutely fucking crazy

Kira is Jesus.

[odd sand]

Mikazuki is a chad tho bc Atra mentions wanting a kid someday and he's like "Oh you want a kid? Sure, lets do it"

[potent arrow]

From the preview of wfm, the enw girl doesn't look too crazy

[odd sand]

Nah she just looks dandere af

But hopefully she has more personality than Mikazuki

[potent arrow]

Although||there might be some reprecussions of her killing like 4 people and watching her father sacrifice himself||

[odd sand]

https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Julieta_Juris

[potent arrow]

God she was BATSHIT

I REMEMBER HER FROM 00

[odd sand]

She's who I was thinking of. In IBO she just has Rustal on the brain

In 00 I think she was getting mindfucked by the drugs she was taking

Doesn't she turn out okay though? I want to say the movie comes back to her to show how she turned out

[willow comet]

Some loot!

1 4tb surveillance i probably wont use, but 5.750tb of other drives

[potent arrow]

@odd sand I FOUND IT

[potent arrow]

The red fake 00 reactors gave her radiation poisoning when it killed her parents

[dull garnet]

pog

shame they're seagate

[modest moss]

seagate hold hentai just fine

[willow comet]

just that top surveillance

[umbral moss]

the best CEO quote of all time is the seagate CEO

"look, we're not curing cancer here, we make things that help people store their porn"

[willow comet]

not that the rest are any better, mostly toshiba and 2 other seagates

but not surveillance drives just normal 7200rpm

[odd sand]

Was that their reasoning? I just remember she was out for revenge and slamming pills. I thought they gave her improved reaction times to keep up with the Gundams or something

[potent arrow]

Yeah lol

The red reactors weren't perfect, so the radiation got to her

[odd sand]

I wonder if you can firmware flash them to other types, or if the chips in them are different as well

[odd sand]

(for the surveillance one)

[potent arrow]

GN drive space cancer

[willow comet]

this seems like a question for google i will get back to you, but i doubt you can flash them

[odd sand]

"their output performance was improved" ... is that their excuse for why the tau-drive suits in 2nd season were as powerful/more powerful than the gundams and seemingly never ran out of power in battle, even after using transam?

[willow comet]

[odd sand]

Yay ewaste!

[willow comet]

[odd sand]

Or try to sell it used on ebay I guess

[potent arrow]

I believe so because they were handed legit drives, so they could recreate it better

Idk 00 universe was kinda weird and went LOOK

EX MACHINA AND ALIENS

Really fast

[odd sand]

Yeah my headcanon is S2 was meh and the movie doesnt exist

[potent arrow]

The ending to the first

Was perfect

[odd sand]

Yes, S1 was god-tier

[potent arrow]

There was no need for s2

It would've been the perfect ending imo

[odd sand]

The whole aliens thing wasn't even lampshaded in the TV series

Like if it was it was like the very smallest of hints imho

[potent arrow]

yeah

As for tech, nothing will beat UC for tech progressions

[odd sand]

That was my biggest issue with it, beyond aliens in a gundam series being like ... wat? Was that it wasn't established at all

[potent arrow]

Like you can actually see the suits develop and ultimate end up at unicorn

[odd sand]

Ehh kinda... UC is all over the place with design up until Unicorn

[potent arrow]

I've never liked the concept because Gundam has always, no matter the timeline focused on human issue and ever massive expanse of space

[odd sand]

There are a number of very high-spec suits that are just one-offs for no explainable reason

[potent arrow]

i mean the super high spec suits can mostly be explained

[odd sand]

Like why wouldn't you keep using the anti-beam coating from the Hyakushiki?

[deep sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/maximo-espectacular-dardano-gif-20543533

[potent arrow]

Didn't they literally say, it was incredibly difficult to reproduce in good yields

And later down the line it was basically useless due to increase weapon output?

[odd sand]

That doesn't mean you would give up on it entirely, you would just keep using it on ...well ... Gundams.

Speaking of Unicorn, I still only watched up to Ep3 when it first aired

[potent arrow]

I wouldn't be surprised if they kept using it, but weapon fire power just mitigated it

[odd sand]

Of what I've seen tho Kshatriya kinda seems like the ultimate newtype platform

[potent arrow]

The big zam had the uh

Anti beam shit too

[potent arrow]

All the gundams in that series were newtype platforms

[odd sand]

I know, but it seems like the ideal one to build around going forward. Like build the unicorn system into the kshatriya for added agility ... and it has 24 funnels

360 shields mounted to the shoulders, a lot of mass behind it to bully other units in melee combat if it came to it. 2 dozen funnels to attack from all directions to mince basically anything that isn't a top-tier newtype

[potent arrow]

Tbh I don't know universe after unicorn because I consider it to be the end of UC

But apparently the unicorn models were sealed away afterwards

So lazy retcon of power lol

[odd sand]

Well given the Unicorn has a Destroy Mode or something, I assume it's considered too dangerous

For like, pilot mental health etc.

[potent arrow]

Uh I don't want to spoil lol

But yeah

[odd sand]

But yes, Gundam as I said does suffer a bit from the Star Trek tech syndrome of certain things just never being talked about again

[potent arrow]

Banagher was probably one of the most powerful newtypes

So he was pretty fine.

[odd sand]

I suppose if you consider Tomino also wrote Turn-A, the Unicorn starts getting into similar territory to Turn A/X battles and just being so powerful it can lay waste to the entire planet

[potent arrow]

I havnt bothered with Turn-A

[odd sand]

We're close to the end of the novels Tomino wrote for UC though I think, right?

[potent arrow]

We still need uh

A few?

[odd sand]

I believe he wrote Hathaway events

[potent arrow]

Hathaway's flash x2, bell torchika

Uhh

Yeah

[odd sand]

Turn A is pretty good if you enjoy UC and the more "quaint" 80s storytelling style of it

When it first released it definitely seemed retro throwback and was one of the last cel-painted series ever made

It basically tries to wrap a bow around the entire Gundam universe of UC and AU stuff to that point

The Char-clone Harry Ord is pretty cool

[potent arrow]

Yeah, ijust saw the turn a Gundam and made me go wtf

[odd sand]

Designed by Sam Mead of Aliens fame

Yeah... you basically have to handwave most of the mech designs

The Turn-X is actually a pretty decent mecha design if you set aside it doesnt look like a gundam

Then Turn A and others with the COCKpit are kinda uhh...

[potent arrow]

Thats... blasphemous lmfao I kinda watch gundam for their designs lool

[odd sand]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/a/a4/CONCEPT-X_6-1-2_Turn_X_-_Front.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/301?cb=20201007132858

[potent arrow]

Oh actually

[odd sand]

I want to say there are some regular mobile suit designs in the series bc they keep digging up old stock

[potent arrow]

Shinon have you see like

Hathaway?

Like his fifth gen Gundam?

[odd sand]

Only the first 2-3 episodes so far

[potent arrow]

Ooo ok

Cuz that design is sollllliddd

[odd sand]

Which brings up another gripe I have about Gundam: The stupid philosophical nonsense female characters lol

[potent arrow]

5th gen Gundam :solid:

[potent arrow]

Lol ok yeah

[odd sand]

Like, why does he like her? Why is she even there? How could she possibly help the plot? sigh

[potent arrow]

What's her name from zeta

That got like seduced by sirrico or something LOL

[odd sand]

Yeah and the Zabi girl in Unicorn a bit but I guess shes just dead weight other than her political connections and not really nonsense

[potent arrow]

Ahdbdada lol

[odd sand]

my man Harry Ord https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/8/8b/Harryods.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20110513004955

[potent arrow]

What the fuck

Is that

That's even too weird for Gundam lol

[odd sand]

Pilots the SUMO from his COCKpit https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/9/9f/MRC-F20_SUMO_Gold_Front.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/336?cb=20200925125136

[potent arrow]

Sigh

Tf.

[odd sand]

Which honestly for the Sumo and the Turn-A is a terrible fucking design bc it puts you directly out front

[potent arrow]

Yeah lol

[sly elk]

..

[odd sand]

I really liked the stock knightmare frame from Code Geass. It was fairly functional and practical for a mecha: Pilot compartment in the back behind sizable armor. Could deploy wheels to go faster, etc.

Harry Ord tho its just his personality is fun.

Friendly and personable, very competent as a pilot, loyal but would slap your ass if wrongs needed to be righted

[potent arrow]

I have a hot take, I do not like code Geass or consider it overttly a mech anime

I would see it more of a political drama with some mechs sprinkled in

Like there are way too many people who consider it the end all Mecha anime

[odd sand]

Yeah that's stupid, it has mechs in it but its a political drama with scifi elements

Honestly, I really disliked S2 bc as is usual with Sunrise it lost focus

You go from practical mech designs where superior strategy wins the day, to a full-on Gundam Ep50 beam spam wasting a dozen grunts at a time

[sly elk]

ahhhh

I hate it when I buy hardware and it beckons for me to buy ... more hardware....

nah it's more like

I want my right side keyboard to be used on 4 different computers

[odd sand]

Kvm switch ho!

[sly elk]

yup

[odd sand]

Otherwise there is that all software solution they showed on LTT

[sly elk]

i'm going to buy a usb switch for the purpose lol

yea there's a few ways to do that

synergy is like $60 for the nice encrypted version though

i'

I'm pretty sure I've bought all the RGB I could possibly want

you can't see the PSU in my computer, so it doesn't matter, and those only go up to like 600w anyway

not doing custom wc

[potent arrow]

KVM!

[sly elk]

I could go with nanoleaf lights but I am not doing that until I buy a house hahahha

I'm using a kvm I really like, but for this purpose I'm just buying a usb switch

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083JKDNRJ

i just hope the remote doesn't clash with my kvm's remote since they're... similar

[potent raft]

I actually really like my "kvm" setup

I use a simple USB switch and a daemon I wrote that sends DDC over the display cable to switch monitors when it detects the appropriate device changes

[umbral moss]

Configurable per-connector multi-rail OCP

what on earth

this thing is bonkers

every time I look at the AX1600 I'm like "must own this" but then I see how much it costs

https://tenor.com/view/last-week-tonight-john-oliver-not-fair-its-not-fair-gif-13526087

[sly elk]

they used to make those in cheaper versions 😦

corsair completely ditched their digital PSUs except for that one

they do have an ax860i...

[umbral moss]

the 1600 is cutting edge tech, is why

[sly elk]

the other versions of the AXi also had that, though

[umbral moss]

the GaN power mosfets?

I don't think so

commercialized gallium nitride power circuitry is relatively new

like, last two-ish years

[sly elk]

ohhh

sneaky

why'd they call it an AXi, then, I wonder

[umbral moss]

also, the 860i doesn't have customizable per-connector power limiters

[sly elk]

yea I get ya

[umbral moss]

the AX series is corsair's "flagship" line, so the 1600 sits right at the top as its own completely untouched king

[sly elk]

I didn't realize that the ax1600i was itself a different model from the other AXis

(which is terrible marketing :D)

[umbral moss]

yeah, I only went digging for info because the 860 and 1200 shared DNA

the 1600 is a completely different critter made by flextronics

[sly elk]

does flextronics even normally make PSUs?

[umbral moss]

but it's $630 god damned dollars

[sly elk]

that sounds more custom than say, evga grabbing a super flower psu and slapping their name on it

[umbral moss]

apparently they do, they're an OEM scale company

[sly elk]

that is what I meant though

that sounds like something totally custom

most american brand PSUs are literally just take someone else's unit and slap their name on it

[umbral moss]

it might be custom for corsair, with the hope that they'd be able to make lower power versions to replace the 1200 and 860 as well

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-be-bruh-beluga-gif-25964074

[sly elk]

the funny thing to me is that it's still huge

[umbral moss]

since the 1200 has been thanos snapped out of the universe outside "we don't know when or if this is coming back into stock" listings

[sly elk]

despite Using GANs, so far most GaN power supplies are smaller

[umbral moss]

I mean, it's 1600 god damned W, sustained

[dull garnet]

more than my video card

[sly elk]

for sure

[umbral moss]

plus titanium power efficiency

[sly elk]

another thing to consider

[umbral moss]

I don't know how you'd even run the thing at full power on 115V line

[sly elk]

is it uses a different kinda power plug so, dont' lose the cable. 😄

[umbral moss]

residential 115V caps at 15A

[sly elk]

it might have a 20a plug?

[umbral moss]

it has to, you can't use a NEC 15A on that thing lmao

1600W is out of spec for the traditional plug, you need the next tier up with the sideways hot

[sly elk]

it has that

[umbral moss]

yeah, those aren't hard to find at all

[jaunty light]

Wire directly into power grid

[sly elk]

note the iec connector the psu has lol

[umbral moss]

I'm not being facetious, you can find replacement cables on mcmaster with pretty much any source/sink connector combo you want

the problem is that going to a 20A line will require a new socket and breaker, especially if your dumb ass intends to run it at full power

ugh, just thinking about having to rewire the wall for that connector makes me angry

lmao, looked up IEC 20A connectors and of course the second hit is a fucking snake oil audiophile adapter

[sly elk]

ahhhhhhhhh

[umbral moss]

made of stainless steel and carbon fiber for the purest audio as judged by japanese audiophiles

[sly elk]

it took me forever to find a pic of the power cable so i looked at ebay and found a used one

finally found one that came with the ac cable and......

and and

this is definitely not the correct cable lmao

[potent arrow]

holy shit lol

[umbral moss]

never mind the gigantic impedance jump from using a compression connector on your cable 😔

[potent arrow]

Am I blind

or is there no ground pin on that

[sly elk]

sarah saying holy shit 😄

[umbral moss]

https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-IEC-320-C19-10-ft-P049-010/dp/B0012ELTK8

[potent arrow]

yet like

[sly elk]

that said

it looks like the factory cable does not use sideways hot 20a

[potent arrow]

what

???

MY HEAD

[umbral moss]

uh... that's not how IEC 20A works lmao

[potent arrow]

YEAH

[umbral moss]

the whole fucking point of the different connector is to make sure dipshits don't connect a high current load in a residential socket

[sly elk]

i'm with ya

i was expecting this

but the precedent for the other cable isn't unheard of

mac pros have that sideways connector and use a 15a plug

well... except for the trash can anyway

[umbral moss]

I've seen the other kind of cable with the IEC 20 on the sink side and the IEC 15 on the source side

which is fuckin stupid and we had endless problems with breakers blowing because the load is too high

[sly elk]

yea

that said it's not an awful gamble

[odd sand]

I'm pretty sure I'd have to dremel off the back side of the PSU enclosure to have anywhere to connect the cables into that in this case

[sly elk]

I'm guessing at least 90% of the people who buy the ax1600i never actually get anywhere near the rated load

that's pretty solidly a "I bought the $600 PSU because I wanted the best"

[umbral moss]

they had to put the IEC 20 on the supply itself so people who know know to buy the correct cable if they intend to run it at full throttle

[sly elk]

people who don't put it for sale on ebay for $300 because it keeps tripping their breaker

[dull garnet]

I would have to remove the hdd cage entirely

[umbral moss]

if you're planning on buying a 40 series GPU, you're probably going to need it

[sly elk]

nope.

the 3080ti is probably it for me for now

[dull garnet]

Even my 650 P2 feels a bit cramped in my Meshify C

[umbral moss]

ideally there would be a much more rational 1200W unit that takes up less volume and has the overhead for GPU transients

but that doesn't exist yet

[odd sand]

That's what the green wire is for. In Japan et al where they only have 2-prong outlets you attach that under the screw that mounts the plate to the wall to act as your ground.

[sly elk]

idk about the 650, but the P2/G2 are rather long PSUs

yup

but that was being sold in the US soooooo

[umbral moss]

the 860 was babby sized compared to the galaxy I pulled out originally

like this little tissue box compared to a pair of sneakers

[odd sand]

I had to buy an adapter for my laptop the first time I was in Japan to plug it into the wall

Although now I have a surface laptop and that only comes with the 2-prong cable

[sly elk]

lmao saw this on slashdot.

The collapse in cryptocurrencies is easing supply of the most sought after watches on the second-hand market, depressing prices for hard-to get-Patek Philippe and Rolex models.

[potent arrow]

I fucking hate this

[inland mauve]

wait don't tell me that so many of those cryptobros bought golden watches that it actually had an impact on their pricing?

[odd sand]

Yep, they've had a flood of the used market

[inland mauve]

[modest moss]

Y'all

My GPU, Mobo, SSD, RAM and PSU have shipped

My case is being prepared for shipment

My CPU and Cooler have not shipped

74C? hope he added some chemicals to bring up his coolant's boiling point

at 74C and standard atmospheric pressure he's approaching subnucleate boiling

[sly elk]

lol

[umbral moss]

which is going to make his life even worse because bubble formation will cause localized heating

SNB is the phase right before the cooling system on a nuclear reactor fails

[sly elk]

yiiiikes

... actually

where are the fan speeds

why would you rock a commander pro and not have your fans hooked up to it

lol

your setup is great

[odd sand]

I think I just have the regular fan controller and not the fancy one. I never bothered to fully connect it

[burnt swallow]

Good news: the rest of my Amazon transactions went through

Bad news: the rest of my Amazon transactions went through

I'm fucking broke

[royal forge]

Time to sell a kidney

[umbral moss]

same

[burnt swallow]

I wasn't expecting my first monthly payment for two parts to go through ahead of the rest of the payments

So I just have to pull a couple 0s out of my savings and I'll be fine

[umbral moss]

I mean, it will run down the impeller faster, I guess

I just leave it at 60% since I don't need the full pump output

I think the VPP655 goes to, uh, 24 GPH at full output or something like that

[sly elk]

it's the same as running a fan at full speed

[umbral moss]

I mean, air is a lot less effort to move than water

impellers don't enjoy being run at full speed, and apparently the VPP755 is known for premature bearing wear if you run it too fast

I just buy pumps directly

D5 style pumps last damn near forever

unless they're the VPP755 apparently

which has its own whole-ass thread on overclock.net complaining to alphacool about how it's a piece of shit and the impeller breaks down in a couple hundred hours

[umbral moss]

rip

[odd sand]

lmao I take it his parking brake was insufficient and the boat dragged everything back down into the water?

43MB for 4 seconds... bruh...

[sharp star]

spend less on candles

[burnt swallow]

$0 spent on candles in my lifetime

[umbral moss]

real use cases? just leave it running like, fucking linpack or something

it's your money, do whatever man lmao

I don't benchmark, I just run games and tweak if I crash

[sly elk]

this dude's jekyll and hyde setup lol

-installs steam on his mac to see what mac games he has-

i mean there's really no reason to play games on it 😄

so the answer to that is.. not much really

there were a few things

[jaunty light]

this the new tesla pool for when ur charging ur car?

[sly elk]

the reddit comments about that are great

Is this what they call a car-pool?
considering a Tesla has been driven basically completely underwater; not much
“Perfect for the little ones when they need to go to the bathroom”

Finally they deployed a toilet at the supercharger.

[jaunty light]

what happens when u snort all drugs

let me in

im a fairy

[umbral moss]

why does that sound like an 82 chevy trying to start

[dull garnet]

Tesla is cringe prove me wrong

[jaunty light]

I wonder if tesla shills get paid in shitcoins for defending elon so hard

like, they're doing more damage control than a paid PR firm, totally for free

"yeah tesla's factory blew up that bus full of schoolkids, but they were poor and the gigafactory will be producing flying cars by 2025"

[jaunty light]

im sorry your tesla door got stuck? and you didn't pre-install c4 in the hinges to escape? wow guess you're just one of those dumb normies go buy a toyota
