Nah they’ve already told aibs to collect the cards

"Our engineers designed something in a way that it isn't used in the real world. Therefore it is the users that are wrong."

umbral moss
#

"you're bending the cables too much" designs a GPU that doesn't fit in a full tower case

#

how the fuck did they test this thing, on a benchtop?

paper tusk
#

it's basically a small version of automotive wiring disasters. the pins become damaged in a way that doesnt allow full contact and it starts arcing internally. the result is heat

#

the easy fix is to change the pin size on the connector (in the adapter) so that it spreads to fill the available room. this will mean higher force to plug power in but it's easier than the alternative. the other option is to make a custom block adapter that accepts 8 pin pcie directly (to eliminate the tortional stress the cabling has)

#

You wonder why they don't make the connectors 90-degree to begin with

#

Given where the cards are in most systems.

Hello, super quick question
Would 2 x 8gb sticks of ram be compatible with 2 x 8 sticks of ram of the same brand, but a different version?

#

Interesting, I tried however I got a variety of memory and kernel errors, I'll try again and rma, ty

sly elk
#

nv's adapter is a massive face palm

#

I mean shit

#

this isn't some random AIB we're talking about running on a shoestring budget

#

this is NVIDIA

#

I don't think that harness design would pass any certification of any kind

dull garnet
#

you could mix and match any two sets of DDR4

sly elk
#

oh yea, yes, I agree with that

#

are you using them in the right slots?

#

like set A goes into the A slots, and set B goes into the B slots?

#

on some (maybe most) boards that means you'd have them plugged in ABAB

#

but shit I think even ABCD (4 completely different ddr4) should work at the lowest rate of all 4lol

dull garnet
#

yep

#

rma

sly elk
#

you can try running each set (or each stick) alone in memtest86

Looking for a pc monitor and was told look for something at least 1080p and 144Hz. Was thinking between these 2

dull garnet
#

I would get the Gigabyte because IPS

jaunty light
#

Probs wanna crop that so we don't see your name

sly elk
#

agreed but 1920x1080 on a 27" is pretty low res

#

I also agree about ips ^_^

#

imma say, if I had a budget like that

#

the color and viewing angle won't be as good hahaha

#

nor will the refresh rate!

#

but 3440x1440 lol

#

179.99 it's only 75hz but it's 2560x1440 and IPS

dull garnet
#

might want to ask what gpu they have

sly elk
#

@snow cypress what kinda computer/gpu do you have, and what are you using the computer for?

#

obviously gaming plays a role I'm sure 😄

snow cypress
sly elk
#

oih!

#

you're that dude!

#

-gives a cookie-

#

I remember ya ^_^

snow cypress
#

Oh yea, pretty sure you helped me when I messed up my old case lol

sly elk
#

i claim you can run some games on a 3070 at 1920x1080@144hz no problem

#

that sub-$200 budget will give you a lot of different options but not everything combined into 1 monitor

#

like that gigabyte gives you ips and a high refresh rate, but a very low res for a large screen size

#

you can get a 2560x1440 27" for a similar price, IPS too, but it'll have a lower refresh rate

#

Anyone recommend a keyboard that doesn’t sound like a type writer machine? Mine is really loud and i want to get a possibly quieter one with rgb and the num pad included. My budget for a keyboard is $60 and under

snow cypress
#

I plan on having a 2 monitor setup eventually, just need something for right now. Getting tired of using my crappy tv

sly elk
#

imho there's a noticeable difference between 120hz and 60hz, but it doesn't make those rates unusable by any means

#

and it depends how much time you spend using it

#

and then there's that

#

if you're going 2 monitors with a bigger budget later, that cheap 34" I linked might be a lousy choice since it'd make a lousy side screen

# acoustic wharf Anyone recommend a keyboard that doesn’t sound like a type writer machine? Mine ...

https://a.co/d/4QObIWb i have this. The switches are a little sus but it's quiet (black most quiet, followed by brown. It has 4 spares in a plastic bag)

#

Yes you can make it a single color instead of rainbow puke

sly elk
#

i have a corsair strafe rgb laying around that I used to use for work with those, it's silent af

#

tbh I think it's quieter than most normal keyboards

acoustic wharf
#

Alright, i use controller most of the time, but some keyboard usage on some games. I just dont like the clicking sounds the k552 has

paper tusk
sly elk
#

linear (cherry mx red) switches don't make click sounds, but a lot of mechanical keyboards are noisy even with those.. because they echo when you bottom the keys out

paper tusk
#

^

sly elk
#

technically, tactile switches (cherry mx brown) shouldn't produce a click either but I think the engagement mechanism echoes through the board and makes them louder too sometimes

#

i think part of the reason the strafe was so quiet is that they built it in a large plastic case and it probably has rubber or foam hiding in there lol

royal forge
#

I didnt know there was a brand of switches called Holy Panda

#

Is that new?

#

I dunoe why but i've been hearing quite a lot about them the last few days

or rather it seems a point where if you're buying holy panda switches, you've really fallen into the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole

royal forge
#

Oh. Why?

#

Oh. And i saw gigguk's 3k keyboard, and theres a ?joystick? on the top right of his KB

Is that for use as a mouse?

"Welcome to your new job! Here's your desk! Sorry that's the only keyboard/mouse we had available.... no you're not allowed to use your own"

To be clear, I do not mind new cables, even if they have like 30 connect/disconnect cycles because who the fuck is gonna connect and disconnect a cable 30 times. The problem is obviously Nvidia cutting corners and producing shitty adapters

it sucks that there's a disturbing trend of PC components catching on fire or exploding over the past year or so

modern iris
#

Fixed or variable rate?

#

My condolences

odd sand
#

Couldn't you have refinanced into a fixed rate before things went up?

#

It's never going to be that low again bc the rates were artificially low. That's why the market was blitzed for 5+ years

#

All gas no brakes.

#

5% rates are the historical average

#

Imagine buying a house in 1980 disgustedaura

hard drift
odd sand
#

10 year mortgage is longest in Canada? How the fuck does anyone buy a house then?

#

That would be like $5k/mo payments

#

Huh? So it's a 30 year where the rate is only fixed for 5-10 years you mean?

#

Which is probably a problem in Vancouver these days...

#

I'm always amazed when govts just let shit get completely dysfunctional when they have the data and see it coming

#

Even if it was just raising the amount for insured loans to 1.5 or 2M. But I guess they think if they leave it at 1M it will have a deflationary effect on prices?

modern iris
#

The US was having a decade long inflation issue until Volcker became fed chairman and hiked rates, purposely causing a recession as a result

#

This was in the 80s, which explains the 20% rate

1M was luxury ... 3 years ago /s

Oh, I know why rates went wacky there to combat the stagflation

Also the camera .... butwhy?

#

hey guys! so, im uh

#

a little sorry to ask for this, but if people are willing, i could use a little bit of help with running ffxiv properly

#

ive basically made it past heavensward, and while it was okay up until then, during it some updates caused immense stuttering, which i understood at the time was due to my laptop specs and the fact that AMD GPU's commonly had that problem

#

the issue now being, ive taken a break for half a year

#

and now logging back on, i find myself barely breaking 20 fps (used to run at 30-35 before) and the audio stuttering is very VERY permanent

#

id like to try overclocking as i already have all ffxiv settings at the lowest, but any advice or fresh perspectives would be very helpful!

Ok this is stupid

If you use MS Authenticator

#

you can't copy your account OTPs from android to iOS or vice versa

bitter girder
#

Nope

sly elk
#

fucking assholes

bitter girder
#

It's a piss take

sly elk
#

it straight up says in the help thingy that you can't

#

but if there's a workaround!

bitter girder
#

Would be nice to know for when I go back to ios

sly elk
#

huehue

LOL

sly elk

I love how there's still someone making updates for these

sly elk
#

@tame fulcrum does exporting the passwords export the secrets for the OTPs?

sly elk
#

whoa

#

lmao the interface is atrocious

#

it has a pcie slot cover that comes with a serial port and audio passthrough ports

#

panasonic had stereos in the early 00s where you could entirely control the tape deck with a remote control

#

which was a surprisingly rare feature for stereo tape decks lol, they mostly used mechanical buttons

#

i thought the cable burning shit on the 4090 was just a meme

hard drift
#

it's a legit thing

sly elk
#

yea that's definitely not a meme

#

seems meta right now is to buy a psu that was made for that connector and comes with one

hard drift
#

has to do with bending the cable sideways more than anything and putting the load onto 4 wires rather than 6

sly elk
#

idk if anyone else makes good adapters or they all use that shit nvidia one

hard drift
#

i mean a 12vhpwr psu is ideal anyways

#

avoid the issue all together

#

or for psu makers to make cables for 3/4 8 pin to 12vhpwr rather than an adapter

#

my store?

#

When I use my iPhone I miss the back button

It’s so convenient

Now I gotta reach all the fucking way across to swipe right

Im just waitin on 4080

#

Nah. Its ok

#

I've sorta gave up

#

Even using legal means means flying over to fight over it

#

Not here

#

I suspect

#

3090s still goin arnd 6k MYR here

#

Thats.. 1.5k? usd

#

Hard to say

#

I think 3090 is still quite a ?rare product here

sly elk
#

Out here every store has a dusty stock of them in the back maybe

royal forge
#

I HAVE debated using one of those shipping services

#

You basically pay someone to buy the product and ship it to you

#

But its via ship containers

#

But i think that would be a bit too risky right

sly elk
royal forge
#

Like

#

Here's this super expensive product

#

We cheaped out on the wire LMAO

#

If you dont want to lose ur shit, nuy third party wires

#

#

I worked it out that its prob cheaper for me to fly to taiwan

#

To buy the damned thing

sly elk
#

yup

sly elk
#

reading the news articles

#

they're STILL trying to blame the customers

royal forge
#

LMAAAOOO

#

Link meh the news article pls

sly elk
#

i was just looking at this one

#

honestly it doesn't sound like nvidia is blaming customers

royal forge
#

Thanks

sly elk
#

but some people make it sound like the problem is bending the cable

#

... but you have to in order to fit it lol

hard drift

Im surprised nvidia didnt notice this?

Lmao

I see the zotac for 999

sly elk

#

pft

royal forge
#

ok, i think i'll go with a 3090 for my new build

#

Can you guys suggest a CPU and which RAM generation to go for?

#

DDR 4 or 5?

#

I would THINK AMD is value king but apparently new stuff says otherwise?

royal forge

Recommend me a CPU then bud

Anyone know the fuck is this black plastic shit on my ram?

#

1440p dual monitor. About 10k myr

#

no monitors

#

i'll buy logitech for everything els

#

Its ok Ice. I'll need to search it myself since I need to nego prices etc

#

apparently the risk of buying from Amazon is that there's no global warranty

#

oo

sly elk
#

that case is really flimsy though

#

imma put it this way

#

if you buy that case because it doesn't have a tempered glass window because you're afraid of breaking the window

#

whatever you'd do that would break the window

#

would probably destroy that case

#

aside from dropping the window on ceramic tile lmao

#

i used that case for my bro's pc and it fell off his table once and i had to beat it back into alignment for the door to go back on (the plastic popped off the door in a corner too)

#

lol

#

i wanna say my inwins have been durable but I admit, I had to exchange the first one because it arrived like, slightly deformed somehow

#

the back door wouldn't open unless i took the glass off

#

i think they just didn't solder the hinge on correctly

sly elk
#

ahahahaa

#

@tame fulcrum this looks familiar

#

it's like a really crappy version of your build haha

#

Ill never understand the need for RGB

#

if single or 2 colors sure, but everything rainbow? its too chaotic

sly elk
#

it's like a fish tank but not really

#

but that's just a mess right there

#

like my case has more RGB than that, but it's spread out and it's not all visible from the side window, and the side window is tinted, too

outer sand
#

RGB is just for show yeah?

sly elk
#

you can do functional things with it

outer sand
#

like? do they turned on alongside the PC or?

#

is there a seperate switch for them?

sly elk
#

that kind is usually software controlled

#

most of the time you can have the RGB setup to reflect temperatures, for example

#

or cpu usage, or other things

#

corsair, logitech, and razer also have api plugins for the rgb software so that it can be interactive with games too ... but i think that's rarely used

#

tbh most people don't use half the features the software has

#

or the hardware is capable of

#

but of course most people buy it for show 😄

outer sand
#

ic ic

sly elk
#

some people leave it on rgb rainbow theme like that, lots of others set 1 solid color for everything

#

there are tons of other lighting options

#

like the screen on my water cooler pump has an led ring around it, I just have it set to match the color of whatever is on the screen lol

outer sand
#

yeah I just thought it was like cars, the neon street racing one in F&F2, then people lost interests in them

sly elk
#

yea

#

LED stuff for PCs has been around longer than some of the people who complain about it lol

#

This is the Corsair H100i Elite Cappelix 240mm all in one cooler. I've taken this AIO and upgraded it with Corsair QL120 fans and an LCD upgrade kit and then installed it in the Corsair 4000D QL Edition.

In this video I'm showing you the set up process for this and how to install it, as well as what you can do with the pump display, the RGB li...

#

i have that screen on my water cooler and it's fun to toy with >>

#

I first caught on to the thing about people not setting up their software a while back lol

#

I always played with fan curves because I like my computer to be quiet when I'm not gaming

#

and when I am gaming I still want it to be quiet within reason

#

so it's nice to be able to tweak fan controls while in-game

you should be able to set the hardware mode for all the corsair stuff

#

they needa redesign this EK config tool

#

it asks you questions out of order then complains about part selection

sly elk
#

if you're using a commander pro, you can store lighting themes in hardware memory

#

fan curves, too.. actually

#

the catch is you have to use the thermal probes that the commander pro comes from as the input for your fan curves

#

if that connects directly to your commander thingy, then yeah

#

are you using the commander pro or commander core?

#

how does the block connect?

#

but lian li fans go to a regular 4 pin right?

#

i think the j-clip stuff just means the 3 fans in a row share the same pwm signal?

#

hmm?

#

that's strange

#

the commander pro just uses regular 4-pin pwm connectors for the fans

#

for speed*

#

you can get an adapter for the connect stuff

#

i use one for my strimer cables' connect box 😄

#

it was just a regular rgb adapter i bought off amazon

#

well what happens is

#

you treat it as one very long addressable RGB strip

#

it's not ideal, and the lighting effects aren't as good because of that.... but that's how it works basically

#

fwiw if you don't have the rgb hub they sell another one that goes straight to the commander

#

iirc the commander pro only has 2 rgb outputs

#

hahaha
