I'd just get a conservative case then you don't mind ditching

[royal forge]

Ye. Das one factor

[odd sand]

Yeah SFF could be an option, then it could fit in a carry-on np

[royal forge]

Maybe not Sarah level of SFF

[sly elk]

haha if it were me I'd just stick with a durable af case and just carry the damn thing as-is bwahhaa

[odd sand]

The monitor I would just sell before you leave then

[sly elk]

but i also used to just carry my powermac with me places'

but back then video cards were small and weighed very little

[royal forge]

yea... but im thinkin of getting dual 1440p monitors

and those.. well

lets just say that where I am, that's hard to sell

Oh, i almost forgot

VERY niche Q

but does anyone know how to record part of a screen in something light-weight-ish

and portable

I got some CT scans to record, but gif cam is horrendous at it

[odd sand]

Then keep the original boxes and pay the extra luggage fee

[royal forge]

ye. i think thats what I might have to do

i was just also wondering regarding transporting my 1080p monitor from home, here

many many headaches

[odd sand]

Cut a piece of cardboard to size and use painters tape to secure it in place on the screen side. Take the stand part off and toss the thing in carry-on

Pad around it with your clothes

[royal forge]

good idea

[inland mauve]

god i hate this update to discord android

it's so bad and buggy

[royal forge]

yep

[dull garnet]

Go back

[inland mauve]

the problem with rolling back is that they don't support the previous major version anymore

so no security updates

however

it would not surprise me for one second if this version has some major security hole in it that's just waiting to be discovered

because it is just that bad

[loud wing]

what’s a good power supply for ffxiv ?

planning to get a desktop bc my laptop keeps shitting itself when i play

[dull garnet]

Depends on power requirements of your hardware

[lost python]

youtube just recommended me an ancient relic again

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4

[sly elk]

ahhh!!

[dull garnet]

quiet today

[jaunty light]

No talking in the datacenter

[sharp dew]

So my PS4 controller is shot and basically remote for my console at this point. Figure it doesn’t hurt to upgrade. Console gamers: any preferred PS4 compatible controllers to suggest?

[dull garnet]

dual shock 4

[potent arrow]

So like

I just got home from a four day camping trip

[sly walrus]

i’m sorry

[potent arrow]

I turn on my computer and it started to spray water everywhere

And instead of fixing it, I decided to take a fat shit on my clean toilet

So here I am

[inland mauve]

you didn't need to share that, but you did it anyway

and I am both awestruck and disgusted

[royal forge]

The LTT screwdriver costs HOW much?

[potent arrow]

Don't even bring it up

I'll morb

[royal forge]

I was just gonna link the 30min vid

Of him walking through the process

[potent arrow]

And stick with my Klein/Wera/wiha

I'll block you

[royal forge]

Inb4 1 hour vid on ltt bag

Hope u watchin the Gundam prologue

[potent arrow]

I watched it when it came out in Japanese lol

[royal forge]

Anyway, back to the screwdriver vid

[potent arrow]

Premptive block

[royal forge]

Lmao

Im genuinely surprised at how much they sellin. Like.. 40k in a day or smthn?

Or 20k?

[potent arrow]

They literally have millions of subs

And even if 10% of them are blind diehard fanboys buy it, it'll be more the that

[royal forge]

Ye. But i aint shellin out, what, 70 or 80 USD

For a fuckin screw driver

[potent arrow]

Because you are smarter then idiot teens

If you are a tradey worth your salt, you would've gone with a better brand

Or if you are a normie tech nerd, ifixit

My system is probably fine

There's so much corrosion on my board already

I don't care anymore, I can just swap it out when it dues eventually

And fyi, I reserve the right to bully anyone using the LTT screwdriver irl if I run into them on a job

Like the price bothers me solely because you can get a proper tool for the same price

It's like a cost of a ln esd safe flushcutter for me 🤣

[sly elk]

sigh

oh yea I agree

I have 2 types of screwdriver handy

one is a generic changeable bit kit I got from frys for like $10

and the other is a #2 phillips stanley screwdriver that I got from walmart for like $3

[deep sapphire]

Milwaukee demolition screwdrivers

[sly elk]

I've had the pleasure of using better stuff (like WIHA) but I haven't really felt "damn I hate this thing" about what I have haha

the stanley is just the right size to not strip anything that it fits

the cheap frys bitdrivers are flimsy enough that in such a situation, it's more likely the bit will strip

[potent arrow]

honestly thats a mood

I have my expensive ESD safe shit

then my shitty mastercrap stuff

[sly elk]

i kinda want an esd safe set

and a good esd wristband

... and maybe an esd wristband.. tester?

[potent arrow]

I uh

fried a 200$ fpga board

so I got scared and went full ESD safe xD

[sly elk]

I am ashamed to say that at work, I've put my hands on an esd mat and zapped it a few times before >>

when we didn't have esd straps at our desk benches I used to just keep a hand on the mat hahahah

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-confirms-ryzen-7000-memory-sweet-spot-is-ddr5-6000

[sly elk]

and admittedly, ESD tools are.. not expensive at all

oooo

[dull garnet]

I like my wera screadrivers

Pretty much only use ph00 - 2

[umbral moss]

I vaguely remember seeing that the price premium for wiha is just a german tax, mostly

they're not demonstrably better than other drivers to justify how expensive they are

[odd sand]

I'm not going to argue the price isn't a lot, but it at least sounded like they put a lot of thought and effort into the screwdriver from hearing them talk about the design and fab process on wan show a number of times

And they were running demo events where you could use their screwdriver against a range of other popular ones bc they knew ppl would think it was BS

[sly elk]

[jaunty light]

Its me the 55iq

[sly elk]

I'm not sure where I stand on my own IQ lol

i always did well on the tests that sounded like IQ tests, and I think at one point in 3rd grade I was even given an IQ test to judge whether i should get moved to gifted classes or not (they did)

but idk what kinda number lmao

[graceful pine]

it's a bit kinda weird

but like adaptive intelligence ish

and pattern recognition

[modest moss]

IQ is largely useless and arbitrary

all it says is you're good at those specific kinds of tests

[jaunty light]

Yeah thats what the doc said when i got a 60

[sly elk]

my dad didn't let me skip classes lol

Relax, Sarah's water cooling was 2 AIOs frankensteined together

[jaunty light]

So simple just weld together 2 EKs for a custom loop

Rub LM on them and theyll fuse

[graceful pine]

60 really

[graceful pine]

It does show trends generally

It’s definitely not precise

[modest moss]

it shows about as much as a 5 minute conversation with somebody

[odd sand]

Speaking of the screwdriver, even if you don't want to buy one this is a really neat video seeing them cover their entire design process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K5Gqp1cEcM

[modest moss]

[odd sand]

How often do you get to see product design gone over from schematics to problems and different materials chosen etc.

[jaunty light]

Just buy a JIS screwdriver and be done with it

[odd sand]

🤷‍♀️ OCD ppl gonna OCD. (Linus)

[jaunty light]

Japan: our finest creation, the JIS philip standard..
Americans: aw hell no pardner, our underpaid overworked factry staff gon'break shit with that deal

[sly elk]

i'm surprised these guys spend all their time *(@#% with computer hardware and they made something with a giant shaft and changeable bits

oh i see, it has a ratchet thingy built in

[jaunty light]

Giant shaft for extra leverage and user pleasure, exchangable bits to keep it exciting?

Unusable except in atx super towers

[dull garnet]

Yeah I don't get what is so amazing about this

Orange accents!

[sly elk]

in a desktop virtually every screw is phillips

unless you went edgy and bought torx screws

[jaunty light]

Custom designed security bits to keep those tsa agents from stealing my parts

[odd sand]

Linus started out as a product manager for a defunct computer hardware retailer called NCIX

Like the person responsible for the warehouse and ordering new product and setting pricing properly for the online site etc.

[sly elk]

yea I know

like i said, dude's always messing with computer hardware, so I'm surprised he'd want a screwdriver like that

but whatever floats his boat

[modest moss]

wait

it's SEVENTY dollars

fucking lol

[jaunty light]

what seriously

[modest moss]

yeah, $69.99

plus $10.99 shipping to CA for you

[jaunty light]

@deep sapphire

[modest moss]

and presumably tax

[sly elk]

ffs

for that much you can get the weha esd screwdrivers

[jaunty light]

fr though this is $70 https://www.amazon.com/VESSEL-MEGADORA-Screwdriver-8pcs-9008EVA/dp/B07ZJ1KMW2

[sly elk]

also I thihnk I might need a new toner again

my prints are all stripey

[modest moss]

I mean, it's a screwdriver aimed at PC building nerds

just pay ten bucks for a stanley like https://www.amazon.co.uk/STANLEY-APT0734-APE-6-Way-Screwdriver/dp/B0001IW7PC

[jaunty light]

or if you want to be a supreme nerd https://www.vesseltools.com/handtools/screwdrivers/ceramic/9000-series-detail

[modest moss]

I built this pc with a fucking unbranded pound shop screwdriver ffs

[jaunty light]

tap the case edges and then go is what I do

[modest moss]

[burnt swallow]

I has question

Why do my intake fans spin at roughly 1090 RPM on average but my exhaust fans and CPU fan spin at between ~366 and 405 RPM?

[jaunty light]

PWM?

[sly elk]

idk. sensor inaccuracies, turbulence, maybe the controller sucks and can't keep it at the exact speed? idk

are they all the same model of fan?

and how do you have them connected?

admittedly that doesn't necessarily mean a lot

[burnt swallow]

[burnt swallow]

My intake fans are the Phanteks fans that came with the case, the exhaust fans are Arctic P12 PWM PST fans (200-1800 RPM) and my CPU fan is a Noctua NH-D15S

The exhaust fans are daisy-chained together and plugged into the connector meant for a radiator pump fan because I can't reach the SYS_FAN 6 connector in the middle of my mobo

[sly elk]

-nod-

[burnt swallow]

Because it turns out the D15S is fucking massive

[sly elk]

hehe

[deep sapphire]

@sly elk

[sly elk]

damn

i'm impressed it doesn't have square headlights

it's not like they didn't exist

that is one square truck

[jaunty light]

the highest quality technology

[sly elk]

i get the impression the wipers are vacuum operated

[jaunty light]

up the curve or tie it to temp sensors. maybe also affected by voltage droop from chaining

[sly elk]

https://youtu.be/EqkEmldvtss?t=31 they're almost frustrating to watch

[burnt swallow]

They're all the same RPM more or less and it's on PWM tied to my CPU temps

And my CPU doesn't get hot because I have a D15S on a freaking i5

And play League

I only goof around on PBE now

Yeah my dad has an old Chevy truck and the wipers are almost uselessly slow bc of that lol

Needs one of those sleeper cabs that's like 20ft long like a mini apartment /s

[sly elk]

lol

so like the ones fedex uses

[odd sand]

Never seen one with a trailer that small but yeah lol

I assume since it says Custom Critical, they run 2 drivers who trade off with one sleeping

Why the fuck is this so narrow? Picking a desk is going to be hard

[modest moss]

yeah that seemed to be the trend a few years ago, slim desks

I ended up buying an oblong dining table

Idk if this would be the right channel but it's a tech thing, but does anyone happen to know how this server got Kupobot to auto post news? I know about the channel follow thing but wanted to possibly know how they got Kupo to do it. Google has been absolutely no help.

[modest moss]

!faq kupohelp

[opal panther]

I'd join that discord and ask there

[umbral moss]

I just don't like those weird right-angle designs

[potent arrow]

Lodestone news auto post is special to this server iirc, the only way to get news on your server with kupo is to add this servers announcements to yours

[fallen chasm]

Aha, thank you

[modest moss]

is that an io panel connected to the rear or something?

[potent arrow]

Mm?

Are you referring to the thing under the desk?

Because that's a standing desk remote

[modest moss]

that bit

that's just to raise/lower the surface then?

[potent arrow]

Yeah

Standing desk remote

Up down and various profiles to save height

[modest moss]

would be cool to have io there, usb, headphones etc

[potent arrow]

Mine has 3? 3. Profiles

Lol I experimented with Io under desk

Was a bad idea because if the chair hit it, it destroyed the usb port or the connector

[modest moss]

I hate arm rests on office chairs so should be ok for me

but yeah I can see that being an issue

[odd sand]

They offer the desk in regular legs or the adjustable. I dunno if I care about the adjustable. I've never needed a standing desk so I think it would just be an extra $150 for something I wouldn't use.

And if I really felt like it later, I could just buy the adjustable legs and mount the desk on it

[modest moss]

the surface does look nice

[odd sand]

Now that's an end table. Break you before you break the table lol

[sly elk]

idk why people always put that there

in an office i get it since you want to have them all in the same place

i saw a super bougie adjustable desk where they stuck that controller in the drawer lol

[potent arrow]

Mine had an IR remore

So I had the smarthome IR transmitter

Hooked up to my alexa

And put the transmitter and receiver in a drawer xD

[sly elk]

oo

[potent arrow]

So I could be like Alexa, profile 2

[modest moss]

bitches be fancy

[odd sand]

How does it send the correct signal? Do you point the actual remote at it and it "records" it?

[potent arrow]

Yeah

[odd sand]

Hasn't that been true of all of them, and most ppl just used an encoder that didnt give af about licensing? heh

Is there an h.266 or are they skipping that?

Oh, h.266 is VVC

I'm surprised they keep getting such large compression gains each time. You'd think at some point you can't magic things smaller and still keep the correct color pixel in the right spot

[umbral moss]

isn't the gain coming from how the parity data is organized, so it takes less data to reconstitute from the original?

I bet there will be some horrible breakthrough in video encoding where the actual scene isn't even compressed, it's saved as a set of markers for an AI to reconstitute the image from the markers

[bitter girder]

Ah man

[sly elk]

Amazingly good.

If they can get enough companies on board the "desktop Linux is a security risk, use WSL instead" bandwagon 😄

but so far from what I've seen, places that forbid desktop Linux also forbid WSL

[umbral moss]

ayyy, member when I said there's a huge power cost associated with trying to run transistors at 6 GHz?

https://tenor.com/view/martin-crane-john-mahoney-frasier-marty-nothing-gif-11000231

[kindred brook]

so

its cooler

than the 12900k

[potent arrow]

....the new amd chips look...fun

I have no idea how I will cool it

but it looks fun...

I dont think a d15 will fit in my case

7950x looks way too fucking fun not to impulse buy with savings

idk when the hardware comes out

Imma heavily consider it

cuz it looks legit pia to water cool

im using a 3900x rn

Also I might meme

and like

make my own water block

I got a tormach, some copper and some acrylllic

what can go wrong

I think I have the skills to pull it off

plus I am going to have to figure a way to get a thicker rad into the case

I might have to mill out part of the case so it protrudes out more >_>

Not to mention like figuring out how to power it all

no fun in that

I mean, I've built many systems already. My personal system is always a hodge podge of shit I experiment with

hence why its absolutely mcfucked rn

you are so paranoid lol

[kindred brook]

WTF REALLY

wow

ok thanks

[modest moss]

just

don't do it

never buy things

next time, build for stability and performance, not stupid OTT aesthetics

[paper tusk]

no clue yet spec needs finalized before can figure that. av1 isn't exactly popping everywhere either (even though royalty free)

[odd sand]

This is what I was saying... until this point, Intel has consistently hit 5.0ghz turbo or better for multiple gens. AMD was still stuck like 4.7 4.8 4.9 etc. and suddenly they make claims of 5.7 or even 5.85? I don't believe it until we have verified 3rd party vetting

[jaunty light]

Its magic

They adjusted reporting 1GHz up, just like how their tj isnt accurate

7950X3D baby

[odd sand]

If you want to buy an entire box of the chips at least

Or does that just mean retail packaging?

What's their list price? Although I assume you're getting wholesale cost

[dull garnet]

i like h264 cus my tv can accelerate it :p

[odd sand]

Similar to AMD, I'm expecting a $699 or $749 price for it

Just a small price increase from the 9900K being 499 (Although I got it on sale black friday for like 425)

[odd sand]

Top 0.1% binning or something? heh

i'm biased but i really like how my card looks

this reminds me of those LED fans that were cool 20 years ago

[sly elk]

those have been around forever. http://www.xoxide.com/cooljag-pro-flash-80mm-fan.html
the new one looks way nicer though

i love the bike wheels that do it

yea this is why i'm always dismissive of the whole "RGB ISNT COOL" shit on reddit 😄

[dull garnet]

iirc they would display temps n shit like that lol

[sly elk]

I think I was playing with LED fans before a lot of those 'mature adult that doesn't need RGB' idiots were born

so if they feel like they look so mature with their grey felt deskmat and dark wood table -rolls eyes-

[modest moss]

did you just call me an idiot?

[paper tusk]

you lose some horizontal res if using a tv for a monitor (with clean text) but it's still 4k in my book

[dull garnet]

get a 20" mitsubishi diamondtron

[paper tusk]

wut

easier fix is have a tv that supports chroma 4:4:4 and have the system res 3840*2160 and got perfectly clear text

[dull garnet]

122 ms outside game mode sheesh

[paper tusk]

my tcl isn't much better

something something budget

[dull garnet]

wish it said what the 720p performance is, that is what i use my MiSTer at

[paper tusk]

yeah I kinda want a mini led but it's way over my fun budget for even next year 😐

mostly since I don't trust OLED to not become ewaste in a couple years time with gaming/desktop use

[modern iris]

I have an hdr monitor and hdr on in both settings and my pc, but the screen looks yellow weirdly, what do i do. It looks way better if i disable Windows HDR and only enable my monitor's

[paper tusk]

is blue light reduction/eye safe on in the monitor settings?

also how old is the monitor

[modern iris]

It's pretty new, LG Ultragear 2k 165 HZ,

[paper tusk]

I'm thinking eye safe gone wild or the colour temp setting is on warm

[modern iris]

I see no such options

OH

I disabled Overclock

on my monitor

i think it looks good now

[paper tusk]

lg calls eye safe reader mode

huh

[modern iris]

NVM

Disabling overclock disabled HDR

[dull garnet]

That monitor is probably only 400 nits or so

Fake hdr

[modern iris]

Mine or?

[paper tusk]

probably yeah (talking the linked tv)

[modern iris]

Thank God 😭 was about to get a heart attack

[dull garnet]

I meant the monitor

Providing the actual model number would be more useful

[modern iris]

Linus reviewed it and said nothin about HDR being fake

Where do i check that

[paper tusk]

55U8H

[dull garnet]

Not talking about the TV :p

[paper tusk]

oh

(imagine a consumer tv supporting display port )

because that requires licensing and the evil things (drm)

[dull garnet]

Imagine buying good hardware to game in linux

[paper tusk]

and linux driver support being more than "recompile the kernel 4head"

[modern iris]

I think my monitor is 27GL850

Or the GP version

[dull garnet]

350 nits isn't hdr lol

[modern iris]

Huh, shame

[modest moss]

27GP850-B the one I got, is 450 nits and HDR 10

allegedly

[modern iris]

Yea i think mine was GP, in a few hours i can check the cardboard

[modest moss]

https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-27gp850-b is mine

[modern iris]

Looks the exact same as mine

[modest moss]

and when I enable HDR in windows it looks like shit

so I ignore it

[modern iris]

Same here, alright thanks

[modest moss]

I like too much colour probably

[dull garnet]

Point is you need about 1000 nits minimum for hdr

It's just bad marketing otherwise

My Dell also advertises "HDR"

[modest moss]

that's their claim

looks janky af

[modern iris]

They played us like a damn fiddle!

[modest moss]

I haven't tinkered much with it for HDR, just went nahh it looks fantastic without it, cya

[dull garnet]

HDR400 isn't even real

Lol

[modest moss]

fuck HDR, I don't want realistic shit

My TV does up to 1k nits but I don't think my PS4 Pro has anything that demonstrates hdr well

So far I haven't seen a noticeable difference when it is apparently enabled

[modern iris]

Aren't Pro games just upscaled to 4K not actually 4k, so add that to HDR and even that is too much for it's specs? (just asking im not a tech guy)

[paper tusk]

yes with checkerboard pattern upscale

[modest moss]

to give an idea of how I like my colours, Lyhe Mheg is the best looking place in XIV

saturate that shit

[paper tusk]

ps3 limitations please understand

(se kinda let themself in a corner when they programmed deferred rendering to fix frame rate issues from 1.0)

so there's only so much can do that's a post processing effect (antialiasing) that doesn't involve clean new code

blinks

[sly elk]

so far I'm not sold on HDR

HDR = make everything about your monitor worse so that it can emulate the feeling of being blinded by bright lights

[paper tusk]

I'm all for the idea of higher dynamic range but brighter isn't the same as higher colour rendition and accuracy

(I'm from a photography background)

yeah

[paper tusk]

i think that was partly related to the earlier article on first boot time being 2 minuets

signal integrity gets shaky with 4 double sided sticks

also the ram speed sweet spot being 6000 (price to performance). but I could have sworn I saw something also that new infinity fabric or whatever it'll be named now caps at 6000 for 1:1

making me think go intel for next upgrade

if i had some assurance lga 1700 would last more than next gen (13) chips

[hard drift]

it's 100% not going to be more than just 13th gen

it's confirmed

pretty much

[odd sand]

It won't. Intel pretty reliably goes with 2 gens per socket

[hard drift]

and we know amd is going to have am5 for atleast 4 gens

they confrimed that already

[odd sand]

until 2025 they said, which is 3 or less

[hard drift]

2025 and beyond similar to what they are doing with am4 already

[hard drift]

and i more meant atleast 4 gens

[odd sand]

I have a feeling it has more to do with how competitive Intel is than anything

[hard drift]

nah, they'd be stupid to ruin their reputation and do the intel route when most of what got them to where they are now is the fact that the socket lasts so long allowing a lot more upgrading for consumers

[odd sand]

AMD is a company and they did that bc they were the underdog, so they competed on value. Seeing as how they jacked prices after Zen2 and might have a solid lead this year, they may play it by ear to see how Intel does with their chiplet design in 14th gen. If it looks flaky they could press their advantage by not supporting the socket longer. Which would allow them more leeway for innovation

[hard drift]

yeah but destroying their reputation isn't something they want to do either

destroying a reputation can break a company

[sly elk]

we just want back our value priced underdog!

[hard drift]

i mean they brought down prices with this new gen more or less

highest end is 100 dollars less

that's a substantial cut

[odd sand]

Which is a shrewd move, but they should more than make up for that with the better margins on the lower end CPUs that are staying about the same price

[hard drift]

also supposedly getting 3 x3d products this generation but we'll see about that one

[odd sand]

7600x is the same as 5600x, 7700x is $50 less than 5800x, but otherwise the same core and thread-count. 7900x is the same price as 5900x and 7950x is yes 100 less than 5950x, but I bet the margins are better with the smaller node process

[hard drift]

i mean the 700x line used to be an option along with 800x around the exact same time then they did it way after for 5000

and it used to be a wider gap

so i imagine the 7800x3d product is going to be 470 range for price

which makes the new gap kind of sad

[odd sand]

I thought 6000 was the sweet spot, but they can't run it stable higher than 5333?

[modest moss]

have they said anything about the 7 series equivalent of 5600g?

[hard drift]

not yet, apus come way later

but we already know the 2 cu in every cpu is roughly 1/3rd steamdeck performance so the apus are going to be killer

[deep sapphire]

AMD IS FINISHED

MORALLY AND SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT

[hard drift]

hank bringing nothing to the table like always 🙏 guess that's what you get when intel delays all their products so there's no news

[sly elk]

HEH

[modest moss]

no need to rush out products when you're the king

[hard drift]

they lost the gaming crown already 🙏

they couldn't even hold it long this time

[sly elk]

idk I think Intel doesn't deserve the "solid reliable old guard" title anymore

not after the z690 shit show

[hard drift]

intel has lost a lot of its reliable title when they have been lying for a lot of things recently

not to mention the numerous delays in recent years

[sly elk]

after ice's problems I wouldn't recommend an asus z690 to anyone

that's pretty reasonable

[jaunty light]

no

we must wait until next year for the great chips

[hasty harbor]

So i am looking at hyperx cloud 2

Is it still worth going for or Should i go for something Else

[hasty harbor]

Or the alpha version

[real edge]

that is very outdated at this point

if you want proper headphones get audiophile headphones like the beyerdynamic 250ohm

or open cans if you have no noise near you

then get a modmic or a standing mic for communication

and ull get the best of both worlds

[hasty harbor]

Can you recoment a headphone and mic

Is yeti good for stand mic?

[real edge]

its excessive

something like the blue snowball will last you forever unless you manage to toss it to the ground multiple times

as for headphones

do you have background noise

or are you in an isolated room with no noise when gaming

[hasty harbor]

I live alone, so i can play without headset if i want too, its mostly when im Talking, or when i have friends over or when Windows are open

You mean this?

[real edge]

yeah

I have used that for communication for years now

its still excessive if you just want to talk to your friends but

I got it for 50-70$ I cannot remember

many years ago and I never needed another

https://www.soundguys.com/open-back-vs-closed-back-headphones-12179/

this is why I was asking about your environment

give it a read

[hasty harbor]

Well alway i know what to buy

The mic you see is 40$ now

Its on sale Cus its the store birthday

[real edge]

yeah 40$ for that is a good deal

so, based on what you read, open-back or closed back?

[hasty harbor]

I will read it later, its mostly the mic on my headset thats the problem, the Sound is still good

I need to read it In depth

[odd sand]

That mic looks so pretentious

[hasty harbor]

What ya mean

[odd sand]

It has the faux oldtimey look and its a huge orb. Just kinda silly heh

[umbral moss]

if we're talking about beyerdynamic, then we've gone into "cost is no object" territory

and I can safely recommend the audeze mobius

[hasty harbor]

[hasty harbor]

[umbral moss]

I think hyperx actually makes the NQ version of the mobius

same planar magnetic driver package, but doesn't have the head tracking or 3d audio features

which are honestly really fucking cool because it's handled on the headset and not the PC

you set a reference "center" and the headset automatically shifts the sound sources so it matches the ear closest to it

extremely pog feature

[real edge]

its an old great

the blue snowball

[umbral moss]

I just got the maono PDX400

[hasty harbor]

Well Imma test the mic now

Gonna be fun

Can having both Discord and a game open cause a game to crash?

[burnt swallow]

I'm pretty sure I don't have discord overlay on

You know what was on though

Fucking hardware acceleration for discord

Oh it was on

[burnt swallow]

How can I check if my GPU is using some generic ass Windows driver or if it's using the latest driver from the manufacturer

I do

AMD GPU

Intel CPU

I have that

So we'll see soon™️ if it was Discord overlay and hardware acceleration causing my game to crash

[sly walrus]

as overlays do

[sly walrus]

if something's in dev for a decade, you can probably stop caring abt it

[odd sand]

That's some bigbrain. Although they probably applied the logic that if you only have 2 snow tires they should go on the back wheels

o_O

[odd sand]

So they applied the same logic to the chains

While AWD has gotten a lot more common in vehicles these days, it's still not uncommon to find FWD only for SUVs

[sly elk]

surprisingly for once I didn't know that was a FWD vehicle lol

wow those really are fwd

I mean

to be fair, "toyota suv" is probably like the least interesting car to me

that case is too small

ooh it's a game

I was gonna scold the shit out of you if you decided to buy one of those cases lol

haha

but that's what i mean

you need one of those giant oldschool caselabs cases

hrmm?

thermaltake

I remember those

hell that wasn't even that long ago

[sly elk]

meh?

[jaunty light]

its kinda pretty but then u realize its a big block of plastic with the 5th gradient they saw in photosohp applied to it

(cough gigabyte)

show us that sweet, sweet strix..

[sly elk]

one of my favorite designs is still the 1080ti ftw3

[jaunty light]

older evga cards are better than their ugly ass shit they got now

[sly elk]

it's not perfect by any means haha

i liked that it didn't have much plastic and the plastic looked like metal

don't care much for the GEFORCE GTX 1080Ti thing

i also think evga has never done a good looking backplate

their 30 series backplates are actually pretty decent for evga lol

[jaunty light]

my favorite recent design for the cards is of course strix. I like the 3000 series for overall design, but the 1000 series for backplate

[sly elk]

I think zotac and sapphire make my favorite backplates

the 1000 series asus cards looked good

tbh I was really disappointed with asus 30 series cards

[jaunty light]

"competitive salary"

[sly elk]

all that said

I had a 1070 strix and i loved the aesthetic but their rgb was very dim and disappointing

[jaunty light]

where the newer strix shines is just straight quality of materials and fit/form to me honestly. like the gundam strix

[sly elk]

yea

I was salty I could never get my hands on a white strix or gundam strix

[jaunty light]

I was kinda disappointed when I first saw the 3090 but then the overall design and RGB bar won me over

[sly elk]

that alone made me never want to buy asus again

[jaunty light]

I miss the strix eye backplate tho

[sly elk]

it was really really asshole-ish of them to make the color everyone wanted, as a limited edition

nah

idk what i'll go with next time i buy a gpu

eh? now that I replaced my psu it's been very solid

[jaunty light]

i'll just keep buying strix

until someone makes a card with better components

which is unlikely

that's a you problem I don't buy strix mobos

[sly elk]

the 30 series evga, I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. lol.

I had a gigabyte vision 3070 and loved it and hated it simultaneously

it was enough that I got rid of it

[jaunty light]

I buy the ROG ones, if I do

of course I've only owned one ROG but 0 problems

only MBs i've ever owned are gigabyte or Asus

[sly elk]

hate: gigabyte's pathetic software and the vision card has garbage for lighting accents

like: the card had amazing build quality and is the only 3 fan card I've owned that exhibited no flex. but it was also tiny

[jaunty light]

for me I don't care about brand, every time I buy new components I go look at what they are actually sourcing and using

[sly elk]

the worst flex I've ever experienced was probably that 1070 strix

[jaunty light]

maybe the only exception to this is I have only ever bought gskill

[sly elk]

i also really liked the build quality of my 1070ti zotac amp extreme

but it looked really gaudy 😄

[jaunty light]

but then zotac's like, here's a 1080 ti that is 30% larger than the other brands but runs hotter

[sly elk]

the zotac was also the only card I had that never had an issue ever

but i can't explain why

[jaunty light]

compooper components be funny like that

[sly elk]

but i felt like it had a 'sharpen' filter in it somehow that made the image quality look weird

I've never experienced that again

[jaunty light]

generally tho I've never had an issue with any of the components I've bought

[sly elk]

😄 my corsair ram was straight up defective first time around

[jaunty light]

the only thing I can really think of is my old 660 seasonic going bad, then my 8700k freezing randomly (could have alos been a motherboard issue)

but seeing as I delidded it, most likely CPU age

[sly elk]

also the evga 750 g3 was really unreliable with my 3080ti plugged in

I still don't understand that one, but whatever

[jaunty light]

i didn't really get down to why the 660 was randomly tripping either

[sly elk]

like on paper it totally should've been fine

[jaunty light]

it wouldn't happen under 100% load consistently, it'd just choose a time and go fuck this shit i'm out

[sly elk]

and it was even weirder because most of my crashing issues were at low gpu usage

[jaunty light]

it had to be under some load but I could run furmark for 5 hours

[sly elk]

YEAH!

[jaunty light]

^^^^

[sly elk]

EXACTLY

[jaunty light]

lol

[sly elk]

IT DROVE ME NUTS!

[jaunty light]

clearly, the circuits got to a certain resonance then it tripped

magic..

[sly elk]

absolute unit of a GPU

I believe it's still the biggest GPU I've ever had lol

[jaunty light]

is that a trip slot?

tbh looks bigger than my strix

maybe shorter

well definitely shorter but the last like 2 inches of strix isn't the pcb..

[sly elk]

pretty sure it was at least 2.5 slots

it was fat

it was very impressive taking it out of the box lol

the crazy part? I bought that when the 20 series came out... for 379

tbh I could've kept that card the entire time and been happy with its performance and had the bargain gpu of the century lol

my old build with the 1070 strix

[jaunty light]

i'll have a good cry when I get to sell my strix for not half, but a quarter.. maybe a fifth of its value

I'll probably just give it to a family member for free tbh

they don't get the box tho that's mine

[sly elk]

lol

I like that evga leaves the fins exposed

i'm not sure why in that pic the heatsink looks like it's pulling away on the left lol

[jaunty light]

the "my intercooler needs to be hidden" gang vs the "exposed intercooler" gang

[sly elk]

but the shroud on the bottom curves out at the sides

I like the light bar. on or off. when it's off the 3080ti has that silver chrome look

when it's on it's super duper bright

and I like how if you make it a solid color, it kinda looks like the bar is just plastic made in that color

[jaunty light]

the one thing I like about evga designs is that all the text is RGB

I think? is the ftw3?

[sly elk]

interestingly the lower versions don't have the chrome when off

yep

[jaunty light]

it always seemed weird for me when other cards have the "GEFORCE RTX" but it's just plain ass white on black

[sly elk]

i have been very pleased with that rgb bar lol

[jaunty light]

I'd actually prefer if the strix just deleted it but I assume it's a stipulation of nvidia

oh but the OTHER thing that bothers me is the strix eye in the middle of the rgb bar is also not lit up

[sly elk]

i think the thing that bugs me most

i think they should've rgb'd the fans

[jaunty light]

my fans are RGB but, barely

it's just some light that shines on them

[sly elk]

yea they side-lit but I'm not even sure if that's intentional or just the light from the side bar bleeding in

i like the back plate

the shroud grew on me, even if I say i liked the 10 series better, I think the 30 series one looks great

especially in the white/gundam version

in the black/silver it's .. eh it looks good too

i really think it would';ve looked cool if they used the kinda fans sapphire used on their nitro se+

err their nitro cards have very seldomly listed plus versions where the fans are translucent and have rgb

can't find a press pic of the 5700/6xxx that had them but

also think it would've been neat if the strix had replaceable side graphics

like with the RGB bar

the gundam one would look SICK on a black strix card

so cool >>

https://tenor.com/view/in-love-heart-eyes-manga-eyes-heart-love-gif-16052966

I think if they had forgone that shroud and just plucked a set of fans on there it would have been awesome

that is one fat heatsink

there was that company that sells replacement heatsinks that you can bolt fans onto

rajintek morpheus, unfortunately it's an ugly motherfucker

and the people who use these have twisted sick minds and use noctua fans

I miss the fans from the mid 2000s

that was when people were really throwing stuff at the wall to see if it stuck lmao

we talked about the LED fans before with the text readouts

here's another one

aerocool turbine fans xD

When turbo charging and super charging just won't due, then it is time to TURBINE CHARGE! The AeroCool Turbine Fans move an incredible 37.44CFM of air at a mere 950rpm and an almost silent 19.66dba! The unique turbo prop style nose cone is removable so you can use the Turbine Fan in any 120mm push or pull situation. So "Turbine Charge" the air flow in your case with the AeroCool 120mm Turbine Fan!

admittedly that woul;d look sick on a dual tower heatsink

lmao remember some of the heatsink designs

hot damn

coolermaster and thermaltake also tried to get in on that jet action lmao

i'm in love with that asus one though

there was a company at the time that sold prebuilts using phase change cooling lol

in fact

if you ever wonder why a lot of full ATX cases have that 'basement'

it wasn't for the PSU lol

it was because everyone who built cases at the time thought phase change cooling was the next big thing

hehehe

they need to do it with GPUs now

shit ya know

this would be fun for a gpu company to do

just make a thunderbolt egpu that sits in a box with phase change

i'm trying to find pics of the prebuilt from the early 2000s that had it

it was superbly ridiculous

i doubt i'll find it though

.. found it....

can't find the name of the brand but someone bought an old one and tried to turn it into a modern machine

there was a weird company that sold these as prebuilds

yuea i wish i could find the name because then I could get the page from archive.org

lmao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C6msZZqz7s

LMAO

it was asetek

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc03uDSPXag

lmao it's pretty funny that one of the biggest water cooling OEMs started out making phase change cooling for PCs

the weird thing is the biggest water cooler company back in those days almost doesn't even exist anymore

they started out selling DIY kits where you'd use a dremel to cut the top of your case off and plop the water cooler unit in

then they sold the cases too

Hi, i have a problem with my GPU clock speed won't go higher than 300MHz while playing and stuck at 30-40 FPS, very low setting. even though they are perfectly fine outside the game. i just realized this after a year playing this game, i thought this game was heavy

high temps. high util, but low clock speed. can anyone help?

[lost python]

i mean you kinda already told us the reason for your issue

your GPU is overheating

and throttling down

either the cooler on your gpu broke or your case is incredibly crappy at providing fresh air/good airflow or your ambient temperature is like 50°C+

[deep sapphire]

Depending on its age it’s probably just clogged with dust, specially if it’s a blower style cooler

[real edge]

dust kills more equipment than other things

its a lethal enemy

[slender jungle]

it's a laptop, can't do much beside cleaning and repasting which i brought to a computer cleaning provider to do that earlier today

and this is while i simply watching youtube. lower temp, meaningful clock speed, almost no util

[hard drift]

Elevate the back area allowing for extra air/make sure it’s on one of those fan pads

And are the fans actually running? Not in quiet mode or some shit

[potent arrow]

See what you do

Is take a Dremel and cut out the plastic under all the head sinks in your laptop

Then place your laptop on a fan

A massive

Box fan

From homeless deathspot

See like the laptop is in blue and fan is orange

Then you have an existential crysis and go buy a desktop because laptop thermals are fun.

$60 air cooler yes? 😄

[upper abyss]

kinda big question but uh
my gpu exploded a few months ago , cant afford one yet , so im playing with this cpu (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz , i dont know much about computers but) , i play Gw2 too and i play it on full windowed , and it runs kinda smoothly. But when i do that with FF rip , so i play in 1280x720 fullscreen. Anyone who got a potato pc too got any tips for optimizing more my game ? and (probably) playing on windowed full?

[paper tusk]

performance is going to be hard limited by the integrated gpu (and overall oldness) so would suggest low settings on everything

16 gb ram if it doesn't have it already might help frame pacing but it's not going to be a miracle

-shakes head-

So, My Asus USB c charging brick is leaking and it smelled burned. When I wipe it off, moments later, more liquids comes out. Also it has a small bump under the charger. Should I be concerned?

but it appears they're.. still using it?

yea this gpu is just eugh nowadays lol , should've update it when i could

What filipino food is there that isn't so heavy, like the ones I keep hearing about are hilariously unhealthy to the point of satire

lumpia dinner followed by flan dessert

leche flan

smart and final here used to sell something along the lines of that

heheeh random thing on my linkedin feed

i wonder if it's a vtuber who cosplayed themselves or something else hahaha

[odd sand]

Huh... I would have expected the 1080 to still beat it, but I guess not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgUcXLF2jUg

[sly elk]

that's actually reassuring

that the best gpu from 6 years ago is outclassed by the lowest end gpu today

hmm

it looks like the 3050 was only faster in a few cases lol

[real edge]

^

the 1080 is better than the 3050 still

doesn't surprise me with what fps numbers I get with my 1070 tbh

that is somehow still working fine even tho I bought it on release day

just a few more months for the 4070

hold out just for a few more months

[sly elk]

-huffs cigarette-

it probably will in some obscure benchmark

the funny thing in all this is how irrelevant the 20 series was

it's like nvidia does tick-tock

[real edge]

the 4070 will have 3090 performance, not better probably

[sly elk]

has that ever happened?

[real edge]

like the 980ti and the 1070

[sly elk]

there was no 1090 so did the 2070 had 1080ti performance?

[real edge]

the 2070 was worse than the 1080ti

[sly elk]

i wonder what the 4070 will cost

yea

[real edge]

the 1080ti was too good

[sly elk]

that's why i'm kinda thinking

the 40 series might not be that big a deal

[royal forge]

BUT HURRRR

50% THE PERFORMANCE

[sly elk]

if I were running nvidia i'd save the good shit for later

[royal forge]

50%MORE PERFORMA CE

THE SCORE IS TOTALLY VERY HIGH

I say that, knowin im gettin a 4000 card

Because my laptop just fuckin black screened while mid writing my notes

[sly elk]

naw that's an amd thing to do xD
