I was more surprised to see 2TB SSDs for less than $600

Load your game data before you read it

precog data storage pogianger

#

when I bought my 2TB SATA it was like $850 playdead

hard drift
#

Jesus

#

And you have a server board lol

odd sand
#

Which is why its silly hearing them talking about PCIE5 SSD bc games don't load the ones we have fast enough even

hard drift

The damn rampage line

odd sand
#

Is DirectStorage more than vaporware yet?

umbral moss
#

isn't directstorage a chicken/egg problem

hard drift

you need the fast SSD to use it, but people won't buy the fast SSD without a good reason

The SE game was the first but it was delayed

hard drift
odd sand
#

Granted, even the Jak and Daxter game for PS5 was only reading at like 3gbit or something

#

Despite saying you needed at least a 5gbps read drive in it

#

So if it can do that impressive montage stuff at that speed, even PCIE3 drivers are fine if they're specced at 3500mbps

umbral moss
#

even if you had a drive spec'd at 15GB/s

#

unreal engine would still have texture pop-in

dull garnet

the texture pop in on ff7 remake on my ps4 was amusing

I still havent played 7R despite getting it free with PS5

umbral moss
#

I kind of want to get my hands on the models from the game files and make some pixel accurate 3d prints

#

instead of the various weird "made this by eye" or "extreme tiddymonster" statues

jaunty light
#

Extreme tiddymonster you say?

umbral moss
#

look up GLS010 from green leaf studio

#

why does this model have to look so good, but in such a fuckin inappropriate pose

dull garnet
#

7 R is gr8 m8

#

imagine 2 and 3 will basically be fanfiction though

umbral moss
#

does that mean we'll see tifa tiddy? pogianger

odd sand
#

Supposedly they claim the rest of it is supposed to still hit all the major story points from the original

umbral moss
#

sure, but it's canon that tifa and cloud fuck so

#

the video itself isn't particularly interesting

#

outside the shock value of someone playing it during an official government meeting

Good call on warning me. I've now set Discord to not auto-update lol

#

partial file updates? pfft

#

that's for losers

#

just erase everything and go agane

#

I didn't think these flexible displays would ever leave the CES demo room

#

yeah, but at the same time fucking mirc is 30MB and it doesn't need to completely erase the directory and start over

#

every program has the ability to do partial file updates, except discord I guess

potent arrow
#

there is basically nothing to go wrong

umbral moss
#

completely removing and reinstalling the software is 100% "we only learned how to do it this way at digipen"

more like discord programmers

they've spent so much time programming in le epic maymays XDDD and zero time optimizing the software

but it's aight, give us money for nitro

Wasn't that a superbowl commercial from like mid 2000s where they had the swarms of drones outside the building and then everyone at the tech conference was frantically trying to run away from them?

you've never ordered a pizza in inches, but you're american

#

So

#

I installed three fans at the rear and top of my case

#

My remaining fan connectors are at the bottom of the mobo (4&5) and covered by my heatsink (6)

#

I daisy-chained two of the fans to the third fan and connected that to the PUMP_FAN connector on my mobo

#

In BIOS I turned Smart Fan Mode on so they'd stop blasting at their full 1800 RPM and now BIOS says they're at 0 RPM

sly elk
#

some places have the size in inches next to small/medium/large but not many

jaunty light
#

But ye never seen pizza in inches. Just s-xl with a general guide

sly elk
#

I have but it's usually the small pizza joints that do that

#

like the ones that leave flyers on your front door

#

and for some reason they always look like this

#

holy crap

#

$20 for a pizza and 20 wings o_O

#

THATS SO CHEAP

#

out here the 20 wings alone would be >$20

jaunty light
#

what is this from 1980

#

no way $20 getting you that unless they scraped it out of a dumpster

even here an XL pizza would cost at least $30 by itself

sly elk

#

lol wut

#

No one knows for sure when and where exactly the numbers appearing on people’s curbs began, but there have been stories of problems with them as far back as 2012. In recent years there has been a growing trend of the numbers showing up on people’s curbs across the country and police are warning that the problem is becoming a real concern. The issue is not in the painting of the numbers themselves, but rather the problems that occur following them appearing outside people’s homes. These numbers are appearing without permission from homeowners, and there is often a fallout in the aftermath of their arrival as they are something that nobody has actually asked for.

#

i didn't realize people considered those curb painting house number things controversial

jaunty light
#

did a college english major write this

#

gotta get that word count up bro

jaunty light
#

APPEARING WITHOUT PERMISSION
btw you don't own your sidewalk
AND THERE IS OFTEN A FALLOUT IN THE AFTERMATH OF THEIR ARRIVAL

#

what does this mean

sly elk
#

so out here there's people who go door to door offering to paint your house numbers on the curb

#

i figured they did that everywhere

#

idk but cities usually don't do this, it's just random people, and some have predatory business tactics

jaunty light
#

small towns will do it in suburbs like here

#

except they fade after I rub my tire on it 999 times

sly elk
#

where they leave a flyer taped to your door saying that on a specific date, they're painting all the sidewalks in the neighborhood, and if you don't want them to, to tape the flyer to the curb

#

so naturally you don't notice it or whatever and someone comes to your door a week later asking for $20

jaunty light
#

fuck em

sly elk
#

ye

jaunty light

that's city property not mine, go beg the cops for money nstead

Why can MSI Center see the RPM for my CPU fan but my BIOS can't

My BIOS has the RPM in smart fan mode set to 0 at 32°C

(MSI center shows the fans at 13% speed so they're sitting ~370 RPM at idle temp)

this has 2 benefits

this would be an easier solution to try for now, if it doesnt work then we can try other things 😄

Blue Bird Corporation

The Blue Bird Corporation (originally known as the Blue Bird Body Company) is an American bus manufacturer headquartered in Fort Valley, Georgia. Best known for its production of school buses, the company has also manufactured a wide variety of other bus types, including transit buses, motorhomes, and specialty vehicles such as mobile libraries...

the ones where the motor is in the back

oh I guess I've seen a few of these built on the express cab

sly elk

yup

deep sapphire
sly elk
#

i was going to say, I've never seen a short bus not use the gm van front lol

#

the funny thing is the short buses were flat-front bluebirds

#

i think they STILL USE THE DAMN THINGS

#

they have a laughably short wheelbase and the motor is still in the front (thus the grille)

#

and they have the weirdest exhaust note

#

it's weird to think they still use those because all the other buses are running CNG

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet/GMC_B_series

Chevrolet/GMC B series

The Chevrolet and GMC B series was a series of cowled chassis that were produced by General Motors. Produced across three generations from 1966 to 2003, the model line was a variant of medium-duty trucks marketed under the Chevrolet and GMC nameplates. Initially derived from the medium-duty C/K series, later examples were derived from the GMT5...

#

lmao could you imagine a school bus using a gas engine

#

thing had to be dog slow

sly elk
#

lol remember getting dropped off and then getting dumped a cloud of black smoke when the bus drove off?

#

I was glad the natural gas buses took over lol

#

err but yea when I was a kid my town had these

#

YEA THE UGLY ONES

#

I believe the econoline was the worst chassis van ever made

#

but I've never had the displeasure of driving a ram van so

#

I wouldn't call them ugly but

#

really dumb looking, yes

#

yea those euro trucks look amazing

deep sapphire
#

oh fuck yeah they had the Vortec 8100 in them near the end

sly elk
#

aren't they even made by an american company lmao

deep sapphire
#

8.1 LITER BIG BLOCK

sly elk
#

sheesh

#

i wonder what the thomas buses had. whatever it was, the 80s ones had a really noisy engine that didn't have much power and broke down all the time

#

it wasn't a detroit diesel, that much I can tell you

#

Hank is old enough to know the detroit diesel sound

#

because it used to be everywhere

#

then again city buses used it until the 2000s

deep sapphire
#

yeah, great sounding engines

sly elk
#

i kinda miss that sound tbh

deep sapphire
#

the non turbo ones were so slow though lol

sly elk
#

it sounded futuristic lol

#

or at least, the last few years of them did

#

before city buses pretty much all switched over to CNG

#

and out here they're hybrids now and those sound AWFUL

modest moss
#

I have never seen one of these

sly elk
#

I'm actually not sure how they consider the noise they make as legal

#

they're hella fucking loud and whiney

#

every time I pull up next to one at a red light all I hear for the next minute or so is

#

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERARWRRWRWRWRWRWRRWWRWRWRRW

#

like some combination of a high pitch whine and fans roaring

#

lol

#

sadness

#

the worst grifter company to me was

#

LORDSTOWN MOTORS

deep sapphire
#

what a great retro logo

sly elk
deep sapphire
#

though for half ton and 1 ton applications the duramax was a way better engine

#

the 6.2 and 6.5 were dogs

sly elk
#

tbh I almost never saw ac transit running gilligs

#

they really liked orions

#

or whatever the hell this is

#

I remember these mostly lol

#

they had wood grain interiors and the most obnoxious noise when they 'kneeled'

#

the thing i always laughed about at the bart station

#

was the lone golden gate transit bus

#

these fuckers

#

every other time I saw their bus at the bart station

#

it was being picked up by a tow truck

#

which is sad because the chassis on those was cool af

#

they were like the last GM-ism

#

but whatever motor they used was always breaking down lol

#

it's funny because I don't ever remember seeing the older GM buses break down when I was a kid

deep sapphire
sly elk
deep sapphire
#

we should buy detroit diesel trucker hats

sly elk
#

and yea somehow i'm old enough to have ridden GM new look buses lol

#

but in my defense, the town I grew up in ran those until like 1998 or so

#

something like that

unknown.png
#

omg there's a short version

#

MUNI

#

those newer electric buses are awesome

#

I still remember the pieces of junk MUNI had in the 90s lol

#

where like

#

when the mast fell off the line

#

the driver had to jump out and go crank a big wheel in the back

deep sapphire
sly elk
#

to move it back onto the line lmao

deep sapphire
sly elk
#

bwahahhaa

#

but the electric buses were sweet because they had that instant torque

#

so you could watch all the tourists fall down when the bus took offf

jesus

and a dead body

look at the boot

#

my friend lives in oakland he denies its a shit hole but I seriously doubt that

sly elk
#

yep. oakland.

#

there are some really bougie areas in the hills

#

and certain parts are really not that bad, but most of it.. well it's oakland dude

#

but it's always been that way

#

i mean it was worse

#

I remember taking the bart train, ya know like the part where it just goes over all the warehouses and stuff

#

it was like flying over a wasteland lol

deep sapphire
#

wojakCope nooooo you cant just leave the city for the suburbs like that we're trying to get rid of car use

sly elk
#

idk how to explain this but for LA people, it's like the port of LA

#

a lot of oakland is industrial and stuff

#

industrial, pollution, not the best weather for a bay area town

deep sapphire
#

doesnt LA have a city literally called City of Industry

sly elk
#

there's a reason oakland isn't that great a place to live ro visit lol

deep sapphire
#

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Industry,_California

City of Industry, California

City of Industry is a city in the San Gabriel Valley, in eastern Los Angeles County, California, United States. The city is almost entirely industrial, containing over 3,000 businesses employing 67,000 people, with only 264 residents as of the 2020 census, making it the third least populous city in the state. It was incorporated on June 18, 1957...

sly elk
#

hmm that looks like one of the concord line stations

deep sapphire
#

yeah

sly elk
#

idk which one

#

they all look the same except some have the platform in the middle

#

those always gave me the creeps because there's no fences lol

deep sapphire
#

we have this

sly elk
#

you're just standing on this overpass thingy

deep sapphire
#

wtf yeah why are there no fences

sly elk
#

but yea oakland was very industrial and stuff so it's not a very pleasant place to live

#

people have been trying for decades to clean it up, with mixed amounts of success

deep sapphire
#

Such a great scene

#

We use similar controls at my job too so it’s kinda funny how accurate this is (obviously not as serious)

#

whats funny is we've been getting A LOT of rain this month

#

which is pretty unusual

#

I expect a very early winter

#

but thats good for the mississippi river

deep sapphire
#

@modern iris

#

Lmao better just buy harbor freight nobody will steal it

sly elk
#

ya know

#

the whole thing about EVs and the power grid and disasters and stuff

#

... it's a pretty real problem with gas cars and refineries and gas stations already

deep sapphire
#

Didn’t someone tell me these people steal out of necessity it’s capitalism that’s at fault. Oh they’re selling the tools online? Oh

#

Track saws are pretty expensive

#

Definitely be pissed off

#

A lot of people will engrave tools that way if they list it on the market and you find it online you can go check it out

#

I think a lot of thefts could be prevented if Facebook market place and Craigslist required photo ID to be uploaded and verified plus a verified address

#

That’s what pawn shops do

sly elk
#

hmm

#

i wonder if nuclear plants even have that many people in the control room

#

heh yea most of them still look that way

#

unsurprising though

#

they're old

#

this one's even got the light up things lol

#

I feel like the GMC were common designs around here, but I can't remember anymore exactly

sly elk
#

GMC must be said with the deepest reaches of your voice

#

the brand for suburban moms who wear red wing steel toe boots and carhartt jackets

#

taking american teens to soccer practice is a heavy duty job

#

for that you'll want a GMC Yukon Denali. Professional Grade.

#

why's it so high

#

mmm another day of watching people talk shit about artemis

#

like as if nasa should just abandon it on the launchpad and put all the tax money into starship XD

Computers

sly elk
#

I can't even say that'd be a bad idea but

#

i mean as it stands

#

the vast vast majority of space vehicles are unmanned

#

?

#

oh you mean artemis?

#

you're right that it's a trial run though

jaunty light
sly elk
#

which is a very very good idea for a new rocket design lol

#

it's going to lunar orbit

#

well, also it's carrying an orion capsule too sooooo

#

those things weigh 73,735lbs...

Time: Launch window opens at 8:33 a.m. EDT

#

heheh

#

that would be cool but digging through rock requires something big

#

that said, if they weren't launching a human rated capsule to make sure that it won't get deadly for humans lol

#

they could've launched a pretty large digger robot

#

does the moon not have caves though?

sly elk
#

oo interesting

#

somebody sells replacement floors for wranglers and they have a tan option

#

ignoring the ugly floor mat, that does really brighten things up lol

#

kinda gives me old car vibes though

obtuse linden
#

Heya! Anyone here good with building gaming pcs?

sly elk
#

A lot of people here have built their own computer 🙂

#

What kinda question do you have today? 🙂

obtuse linden
#

Ive been going around a lot of discord servers specifically for help with building one, but theyre all pretty rude and scary lol

#

Is this a good build? https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-td500-white-drgb-ryzen-5-5600x-6-core-4.6ghz-nvidia-rtx-3060-12gb-desktop-pc-for-gaming.html?config=12041-162683,12165-149337,12289-150918,12413-152809,12537-153743,13107-159325,15333-177186,15336-177198,15339-182430,15342-177255,15345-177273,15348-185316,15351-177312,17590-197572,21904-238198,23511-255554,23583-258374,24436-266864

#

I do plan to upgrade it over time, im just on a bit of a budget atm

deep sapphire
#

see if you can get one with a 5800X if its not much more expensive

#

you'd get 8 cores which would give you more mileage out of it in the future

outer sand
#

upgrade the storage to the amount of SSD I want and add the monitor that I like, that's it

#

but the requirement might change when that updated graphic drops

sly elk
#

that's like $1100 US, which isn't bad. The cooler options are kinda meh. If you get the 5800x get the ML360 cooler. lol.

#

I have no idea what uk pricing is like for parts atm

obtuse linden
#

Is the 5800x a gpu? Sorry im kinda new to this im still learning

sly elk
#

cpu

obtuse linden
#

Okidoki

outer sand
#

those are pre-built PC yeah?

sly elk
#

yea

outer sand
#

aren't they sus, like they are usually designed so you can ask them back for repair, etc

sly elk
#

that one doesn't look too bad except the power supply is kinda meh

#

it's an OK power supply

obtuse linden
#

Well i was gonna try and build one myself but whenever i tried to ask others for advice on the build they told me it was trash all the time in those servers

outer sand
#

they just hand-pick low quality stuff for people who want instant gratification of plug and play

sly elk
#

LOL

#

kohra do you have a build you were poking at?

obtuse linden
#

Yeah lemme try and find it

sly elk
#

cool

#

the hard part for me is knowing what the market for GPUs is there right now. pcpartpicker isn't very good at reflecting good GPU prices.

outer sand
#

yeah, I wouldn't recommend

obtuse linden
#

Sorry its on amazon, most of these arent available on partpicker

IMG_4500.png IMG_4499.png IMG_4498.png
sly elk
#

one of the hard parts with building is, sometimes you will pay more because the prebuilts are made to a price point

#

like in that case they cheaped out on the power supply and the cooling to get under 1000

#

for a 5600x and 3060 it's fiiine

#

maybe the cooler is a bit loud

#

the ML360 is probably worth the 65 pounds to have a much quieter cooler lol

outer sand
#

I guess I'm a bit behind, I always think AMD CPU is bad for gaming for some reason 😹

#

I hope I don't trigger AMD people here

obtuse linden
#

Lol idc about that, ill buy a better cooler when i have extra cash

outer sand
#

It's better than Intel now?

obtuse linden
#

Yeah amd is real good now so ive heard

sly elk
#

kohra: that power supply is terrible, the cpu/ram/mobo are pretty similar to what you were choosing in that prebuilt (not sure how the 3060 compares to the 6600 but.. close?)

#

wouldn't recommend that cooler for anything modern

obtuse linden
#

Dang im worse at this than i thought lol 😂

sly elk
#

you're barking up the right tree anyway

obtuse linden
#

I cantttty i dont have the money 😭

sly elk
#

they any good?

obtuse linden
#

May as well give up and just buy a ps5 🫠

sly elk
#

you're fine dude

obtuse linden
#

Aight lemme check

This was the best i could find for my budget https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-gaming-harrier-amd-ryzen-5-5600g-radeon-gaming-pc-fs-1eu-og.html?configurator_state_form[slots][388500][sku]=CA-0B8-PT&configurator_state_form[slots][388501][sku]=MY-0AK-TG&configurator_state_form[slots][388502][sku]=GX-387-MS&configurator_state_form[slots][388503][sku]=HD-585-WD&configurator_state_form[slots][388504][sku]=&configurator_state_form[slots][388440][sku]=&configurator_state_form[slots][388505][sku]=&configurator_state_form[_token]=4e2.YizHVuLcgol0DBrD-8a8esjVSzwVJhZ8EmXXI1wQFH8.LWWEBI7tw8EnISryo5TkSq_gPg5YY0xNKzCwbAQpWjstHIxi2pXP4x5pSw&configurator_state_form[groupKey]=

#

On that website anyways

sly elk
#

what is your budget?

#

admittedly that should have been my first question 😄

obtuse linden
#

Eh i guess £900 is the max at the moment

sly elk
#

ok

obtuse linden
#

I was hoping id be able to find something decent with that but now i kinda lost hope 🤣

sly elk
#

so the cheapest 3060s they have appear to be 329. a 6600xt would cost more so I wouldn't bother with those.

#

no worries

obtuse linden
#

Id probably need atleast £1500

sly elk
#

I think you can do it

#

i'm just thinking about how i'd cut costs 😄

#

but still leave you room to grow it

obtuse linden
#

Yeyeee

#

Obviously its not just ffxiv that ill be playing, i would like to play something like horizon zero dawn too

#

@sly elk so what kind of power supply would i need for the first build i showed?

sly elk
#

here, I'm still poking at my list lol

#

still possible to trim some fat I think

#

and i'm not sure about that motherboard yet xd

obtuse linden
#

Oh okay, thank you for taking the time to help!

#

I really appreciate it

#

The only way i could afford that as it is right now is if i managed to sell off one of my 2ds bundles that i have up for sale

sly elk
#

you could probably get a power supply a bit cheaper that won't break things, it just won't have much headroom. like a 650w gold unit would probably be fine and <100

obtuse linden
#

Well i think the only real power hungry game ill ever play is hzd and monster hunter world i think

sly elk
#

oh wait i already had that one in there lol

#

oh the 5600x comes with a cooler, whoops. well fine that saves some money 😄 it won't be the quietest but it'll do

obtuse linden
#

Okay so i searched all that stuff on amazon and it came to £1068

sly elk
#

oh didn't realize the meshify c was that cheap

modest moss
sly elk
#

amazon.co.uk doesn't really seem to have any good prices on GPUs right now

#

and fwiw, that 15 pound difference in the SSD is a noticeable speed difference i think. lol.

obtuse linden
#

Yeah i cant find everything on partpicker and amazon

modest moss
sly elk
#

that's the hard part when you start cost cutting beyond a certain point

obtuse linden
#

Yeahhh

sly elk
#

15 bucks here, 20 bucks there

obtuse linden
#

No worries, thanks a lot for your help 👍

sly elk
#

it adds up lol

#

but that build's still pretty decent

#

yea the rm750 and meshify c are respectable lol

modest moss
#

I would check back tomorrow

sly elk
#

cpu is fine (it comes with a cooler that is kinda crap, but hey it'll keep your cpu cool enough). gpu is fine

#

ram is ok, ssd is -shrug- for 15p more you can get a better one if you want

#

I really am not sure where I stand with that motherboard

#

what would you guys do for a cheap 5600x motherboard?

#

a b550 tamohawk runs 150 pounds, and the cheap b550 boards are like 80-95

#

that prime b550m-a at least has wifi if you need it

obtuse linden
#

I dont need the wifi since i have ethernet already

sly elk
#

that could save a few bucks and make for more options 🙂

#

also the windows loicense

#

there are... ways to save money. xD

obtuse linden
#

Oh yeah LOL

#

🏴‍☠️

sly elk
#

ahaahahah

obtuse linden
#

@sly elk you said the cpu already comes with a cooler? Should i take the cpu cooler off the list?

sly elk
#

updated messing around again, apparently the b550m-a pro is okay so

#

kohra yea the 5600x comes iwth a cooler

#

you'll probably want to swap it out after a while ahhahaha

obtuse linden
#

Ah righto

sly elk
#

but thats fine

obtuse linden
#

Got it down to £948, if i can sell my 2ds bundle then that will be perfect

sly elk
#

are you strictly shopping on amazon?

#

if you are I can hunt around

obtuse linden
#

Yeah im afraid so

sly elk
#

ok because I'm pretty sure that case/psu were more expensive on amazon lol

#

let's see

obtuse linden

I want one of those pretty white cases ☺️

Im also decorating my room so its gonna be all cozy and aesthetic lol

honestly juts save the 20 bucks lol

#

I used to use a 750w psu but when I got my 3080ti it wasn't enough 😄

#

that fractal case is 99 on amazon so don't bother unless you really like it

obtuse linden
#

Thank you, ill probably go with the 750w just to be sure. Other than that, is the whole build looking okay?

sly elk
#

eh wonder what everyone else thinks 😄

obtuse linden
#

They sleep 🤣

#

Also i changed the case to this one

IMG_4501.png
sly elk
#

you like that one?

#

hehe I do think the 4000d airflow is an upgrade over it, but it's also less flashy so

obtuse linden
#

Yeah i do like the 4000d, but it costs more 🤣

#

Yeah i had to use that one actually since i couldnt find the one you picked

sly elk
#

74.48 for that 4000d vs 79.99 for the 220t?

obtuse linden
#

Wait is it cheaper? I looked on amazon and it was more

#

I think

sly elk
obtuse linden
#

😵‍💫

sly elk
#

idk if it depends on your locale

#

also that 220t comes with 3 sp120 rgb fans soooo

modest moss
#

why are you limited to amazon?

sly elk
#

i was wondering the same, that's a pretty hard hit on GPU prices lol

obtuse linden
#

Hmm well i guess i could try other places, and long as they are legit

#

Yeah if i look at the 4000d its like £129

modest moss
#

that 4000d url looks fine to me,

unknown.png
obtuse linden
#

Im confuzzled

modest moss
#

are you shipping to somewhere outside mainland UK?

obtuse linden
#

No i live in the uk o.o

#

WAIT

modest moss
#

really weird that it's not working, I'm in UK and it's fine

obtuse linden
#

no i got it now

#

I kept seeing the black one, didnt think to click on it to see the colour options

#

Im dumb 🫠

#

I kept looking at 5000d instead lol

modest moss
#

aha

sly elk
#

5000d would look funny with that little matx board 😄

obtuse linden
#

Yup 🤣🤣

sly elk
#

oh poop

#

that 73.99 was from amazon warehouse

#

wtf pc part picker nooo

#

well shoot what other options are there here

modest moss
sly elk
#

also it looks like the 5600x isn't in stock on amazon.co.uk? they have 5600, 5600g, 5700g, etc

#

those are diff

modest moss
#

something like that maybe

sly elk
#

yea those are options!

modest moss
#

should get bidori involved, he loves this shit

sly elk
#

lol agreed

#

let's see what amazon has for 12400

modest moss
#

@hard drift chime in when you're free

obtuse linden
#

Its showing in stock for me o.o

sly elk

@obtuse linden I would still wait and see what gets posted on HUKD tomorrow anyway

your situation will get better then ^^

sweet dreams!

#

@modest moss after using the 510 flow how do you like it?

#

also does this person want the 4000d that badly because the 510 flow i could make it just under 900

sly elk
#

they were looking at a 220t so

modest moss
#

it's fine, was a bit fiddly at points

hard drift
modest moss
#

but it's not jazzy like they wanted

sly elk
#

i personally don't think i'd ever use a h510, flow or not, lol

hard drift
#

i mean the flow is useable otherwise nah

sly elk
#

something about the way it goes together bugs me

#

but I've never touched one so maybe it's good

modest moss
#

it's fine

sly elk
#

for sure, classier than a 220t 😄

modest moss
#

just didn't have a ton of space for plugging psu into mobo

hard drift
#

and that lowers the cost by about 20 euro which isn't much but hey, you get twice the storage

#

now i'm going back to ignoring discord 🙏

sly elk

i've yet to see a good mounting solution though

guess I'd also need a 3d printer to make myself one lol

internally it's either a 64 gb (usually less) stick on an adapter, or a micro sd card adapter

i want 30tb for $39

I'm not attached to the idea of driving that with an rpi

#

for sure

and in the spot i'm thinking of, I could probably shoehorn a larger 4:3 screen lol

#

either way i'd like to get rid of that mirror 😄 it hangs too low and too close

61,99 for a crucial p3 ssd

#

nice. if only 2tb was $100...

#

not surprised

#

yea the first time I messed with them was like 5+ years ago at work and I felt the graphics spoiled having a quadcore cpu

I like how discord on android performs worse than the prev update

#

Videos dont play properly

#

Gifs dont load properly

#

But apparently its cuz they basically used the ?apple? App?

for that price, no

#

Eh thought so

umbral moss
#

is it AM5 time yet playdead

hard drift
umbral moss
#

🙏

#

although AMD promoting AMD benchmarks doesn't exactly sell confidence

hard drift
#

pricing has already started leaking

umbral moss
#

intel promoting arc like "it's 15% faster than a 3070 in league of legends*"

#
  • at 720p and all settings turned to low
hard drift
#

the boost clocks of am5 seem amazing 🙏

umbral moss
hard drift
umbral moss
#

the TDP numbers are probably accurate too then

#

5.9 GHz is a lot of heat waste

hard drift
#

can't be worse than intel trying to do 5.8 or whatever they're trying

umbral moss
#

it's physics more than anything playdead

hard drift
#

yeah but intel in general runs hotter when pushing frequency so it's still going to be hotter namazuconcern

umbral moss
#

switching losses scale to the fourth power of frequency playdead

hard drift
#

and they're trying to go past 5.7ghz this gen pretty sure

umbral moss
#

so trying to jack up the clocks to 6 GHz is why you've historically run into exotic cooling setups

hard drift
#

maybe they found a way doubt it 🙏

umbral moss
#

450W sustained, and what, 750-800 peak?

hard drift
#

don't forget that they'll likely do a 90ti again to compete with amd haha

umbral moss
#

and what's 19000 against a 3090, 15%?

hard drift
#

so it's a massive jump

#

the #100 hall of fame score for tse is 12001 so yeah, it's a massive jump

#

but also 100 extra watts namazuconcern

real edge
#

4070 looking attractive

umbral moss
#

when you're getting a 60% increase in performance pogianger

hard drift
umbral moss
#

I mean, 60% faster than a 3090 means you're at what, almost 2x a 1080 now?

#

even without best-case benchmark fuckery?

hard drift
#

pretty sure it's a little over 2x

umbral moss
#

looks like it's about time to upgrade then

real edge
#

hopefully

#

and hopefully the tgp is the truth

hard drift
#

It’s not

#

100%

umbral moss
#

if 450 is peak board power that's insanely poggin

#

I'll even take 800W peak power since my PC idles like 99% of the time anyway

@deep sapphire watch this

they should have launched it anyway, watch $250 million go up in flames pogianger

The 6600 isn’t great, if your budget can afford it I would aim for a 3060Ti or 6700XT

obtuse linden
#

yeah it was either the 6600 or 3060, just trying to figure out what i can afford and where i can cut costs

interesting play, releasing an EV truck that isn't an electrified version of an existing model

sly elk

to be fair, the F150 EV is... pretty significantly different than the F150 gas model
