IPA smells so fucking bad after it dries

[royal forge]

I thought IPA was alcohol

[sly elk]

well both kinds are alcohol

[royal forge]

true

but ya know

[sly elk]

yea it's context dependent

I've heard isopropyl alcohol referred to as IPA enough times to think of that first

[royal forge]

there are SO many of those in medical terms

like one like of short form could mean something else entirely

in a different field

[sly elk]

can say space has a ton of stupid abbrevs too

plus we have the lovely gov project ones where someone names something awkwardly to have a cool acronym

hahahahonda

[jaunty light]

i mean

you can drink both kinds of IPA

one, only once

[sly elk]

idk if it's still true with honda

but I remember when you could take a pic with the flash on a honda all-black interior

and the seats would be like

a wise person on reddit once said you should always splurge on the things that sit between you and the ground (like your bed and shoes)

a wiser person on discord said you should always splurge on the things that hold other things up above you

[royal forge]

ye i was gonna say

XD

[sly elk]

the thing that kills me is the way they name things

it's just like they keep throwing more words at the item

ALSO WHY CANT THEY JUST GIVE WAIST SIZES IN CM OR SOMETHING

[royal forge]

is this taobao?

or aliexpress?

[sly elk]

nah aliexpress

[royal forge]

cuz

i mean

It's AliE

[sly elk]

they actually do put the size in cm

[royal forge]

what do you expect?

[sly elk]

i'm kinda digging those pants

but they're only 35" 😦

hmmm

admittedly if I did cosplay enkidu

the top would probably fit fine regardless, I could just buy random white pants and call it a day

but also

err anwyay

yea having a cabinet all the wayup like that would worry me a bit

[jaunty light]

is this street fashion.. in.. idek

just wearing motorcycle gloves because?

[sly elk]

lol

idk either

they sell fake noctua

WTF

why are you guys looking at electronics on fucking AliE

[sly elk]

i wonder what happens if you plug it into a 110v power source

[royal forge]

holy shit, this PSU has mandarin mao bi on it.

i mean, maybe spare parts

but

actual products?

[sly elk]

TFDP

i like how the psu has a picture of what will happen if you use it

literally blazing

OH

I found the good shit

the one where they sharpie-on the label with the wattage

those are the best

so what's the difference between the 1300w and the 2000w? Well they sharpied down there instead. Obviously. 😄

OHHH

[jaunty light]

gibs me X3D procs and a 4090 so i can make water loop

then it will spill everwhere and destroy hardware!

[jaunty light]

need ddr5 fill sticks!

i thought about doing an ice and getting a 7600x until an x3d 7000 comes out so i can do a half loop with 3090 but tbh too pain of ass to build a loop then have to disassemble later

[real edge]

got the x3d for 334euro, it was a massive holiday when I ordered it so nothing happened with the order yet, I hope it doesn't get cancelled or anything, cause the price has increased since I ordered it :x

so this was the lowest point

[royal forge]

I'm looking at a 3090 with an intel CPU for my build. Aim is mainly for gaming as well as 3D rendering (the reason why I want 24GB vram rather than 10gb as well as better 3D perf)

My budget is around 10k, but I don't think that would be achievable. Is that right?

What is the general consensus regarding DDR 4 or 5 RAM?

This was what I posted on my local forum

RTX 3090 with DDR5 at RM10k. Maybe... next 12 months (next year is 2 months). And no, 24GB isnt better than 10GB. 16GB will last you some time, 12GB.... maybe.

I get this for a reply

24GB isnt better than 10GB

wut

I LITERALLY said i want it for more Vram

[real edge]

I will help

[real edge]

what are you going to use the cpu for?

[royal forge]

just physics sims at most

but

im being gaslit right?

like

And no, 24GB isnt better than 10GB. 16GB will last you some time, 12GB.... maybe.

[real edge]

its better to do your own research

what physics sims?

[royal forge]

ye, from what I read, 3D rendering benefits from more vram

[royal forge]

blender, the usual stuff

[real edge]

ohh blender

oof

that needs a meaty cpu

[royal forge]

i thought about going for a current gen

but it seems there's not THAT big a diff?

at least, not yet?

i wasn't sure if DDR 5 was worth it yet

[real edge]

blender is used as a stress tester for cpus

[royal forge]

lol

[real edge]

ryzen seems to be good in blender

[royal forge]

tbh, the only reason im jumping to intel is the PTSD from this laptop

with the shitting-the-bed AMD chip

[real edge]

I've been using an amd cpu since the 2700x release and I've been fine

the only problem that appeared, I simply had to downclock my ram to fix

[royal forge]

yea. but u know my luck with tech

also @deep sapphire has been brainwashing me

[real edge]

amd desktop cpus are good for the most part

[royal forge]

i'll look around a bit more and i'll come back with build ideas for you guys to look at

[deep sapphire]

No they aren’t

[royal forge]

Is DDR 5 worth the jump?

i cannot seem to find a consensus

[real edge]

ehhhh

[deep sapphire]

Yes

[real edge]

its cheaper now

but intel supports ddr4

[deep sapphire]

Just buy it and be done with it

[royal forge]

ye. but is there such a big speed diff?

HANK IM NOT SOME RICH BOI LIKE YOU K

[real edge]

just go cheap until ddr5 gets bigger and better

[deep sapphire]

I’m not even rich

Anyways back to bed gn

[real edge]

ddr4 is dirt cheap now

[royal forge]

nite nite

gn Hank

[royal forge]

Is it halloween tomorrow?

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKY

[deep sapphire]

Yessir

[real edge]

but yea amd desktop cpus are good, no problems from me, satisfactory performance

[royal forge]

ye, but if new gen is imminent, might as well make the build sorta.. upgrade path-ready

[real edge]

if you are gonna go with intel there is no upgrade path for the most part

but

am5 is bad right now

poor price to performance

[royal forge]

oo

[real edge]

its tricky for me to recommend a definite cpu tbh

there are cheap options for sure

[deep sapphire]

Ah fuck it I’m gonna go get breakfast

[real edge]

if you wanna cheapen out and get something decent for workloads

[deep sapphire]

Intel

Be done with it

Stop overthinking

[real edge]

then the 3950x is cheap

cheap platform, cheap cpu

[royal forge]

what time is it

[deep sapphire]

Ew

[real edge]

decent workload performance due to the number of cores

[deep sapphire]

7:33

[royal forge]

early enough Hank

go get a bfast

from mcd

[real edge]

not great in games nowdays tho

[royal forge]

ah. but mainly gaming PC tho

[real edge]

ohh hm

basically

amd is cheap and good at workloads, decent at games

intel is expensive but is good at both

[royal forge]

but both dont offer a good upgrade path while still offering a good work/performance

right?

[real edge]

right now? no, there is no ceiling to both

only am5 and am5 is out of the question

too expensive

[royal forge]

Bother

and I was hoping this was good PC building time

[real edge]

its anything but, sadly

[royal forge]

guess i'll wait... again.

[real edge]

cheap options do exist tho

you can get a 3950x or something used for cheap

[royal forge]

ye.. true

[real edge]

am4 is cheap and has no ceiling, intel is expensive and better but has no ceiling

am5 has a big ceiling but is too expensive to consider

the 3090 is cheap nowdays tho, used

new is expensive still

[royal forge]

ye

but used

always a risk

[real edge]

depends on your budget and local prices

do you have a price checker website?

I can check

[royal forge]

its ok

i can skim around prices by browsing local sellers

cuz i dont have a price checker

it's all third party small stores

so i would approach each individually with my price list and ask for quotations

and negotiate from there

it's like tendering a project

[real edge]

I see

so no website where you can insert the product name and get a list of prices from most sellers

sadge

[royal forge]

nope

[real edge]

try getting prices for these cpus here

no 7xxx ryzen

[deep sapphire]

You know the right answer

Look what AMD did to you already

Buy once cry once

[real edge]

amd desktop cpus are fine, I am living proof that they work fine, idk about laptop ones shrug

[deep sapphire]

No they aren’t in living proof of the same

[real edge]

wat

[hard drift]

Laptop especially igpu wise, they’re the best choice

[deep sapphire]

My Phenom II rig was a pile of shit

And had tons of issues

Never again

[real edge]

how many years ago was that

[deep sapphire]

Who cares

Fuckin AMD defense force is the worst

Why is Intel used for 99 percent of commerce

[real edge]

phenom 2 was decades ago at this point

[deep sapphire]

Because no company wants to bother with AMD

[real edge]

I've been using my 2700x with no issues since release so, something clearly changed since then

[deep sapphire]

Other than the horrible ram timing issues and being slow

[real edge]

nah

I use a 3466mhz kit

and it was fast back when it was released

now not anymore

obviously

[deep sapphire]

Let’s be real though, Intel not only prices the CPUs less, the platform is much less

[real edge]

for am5 you have a point, but not for am4

[deep sapphire]

And if anyone says “future proof” I’m gonna grab my M18 Fuel nailer and jab you in the eye with it

[hard drift]

Atm sure, it hasn’t been that case for a while though until recently

[real edge]

am5 is overpriced but am4 is dirt cheap rn

[deep sapphire]

Why buy old shit just buy new and be done with it

[real edge]

because its cheap

[hard drift]

Because old is more than good enough for a majority of people it’s no different than people buying used hardware

[deep sapphire]

I know all about new okay

[hard drift]

Your pc isn’t even close to being new neither is your car 😭

[deep sapphire]

Yeah cause I save my money

I’m thrifty

[hard drift]

And spend it on repairs

[deep sapphire]

It’s cool I fixed er up

This is also part of why we pushed testing through ASAP. We were mid-testing as more and more negative pieces rolled out on the internet, none with real testing, and people were starting to accuse us of going soft when actually we just wanted real data before taking a stance.

LMFAO I didn't see that second part

[sharp star]

I like how there’s a handful of components that went up in flames over the past couple years

maybe manufacturers should start advertising fire as a feature

[potent arrow]

I find it hilarious

Because ive spent the last 5 years of my life studying how to design electrical systems to not do this shit specifically

And then the industry is doing all of this lol

[sharp star]

fire safety may as well be an afterthought and we should all die I guess

[sharp star]

I'm surprised all of that fit within the 32-character limit

anyway I personally think that PC components should start having flame decals on them like fast cars because obviously we know that fire means it's fast

[paper tusk]

I'm down for some dum juice

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1019973095076925440.webp

[lime wasp]

Okay this is getting weird AF

My comp cut out a few minutes after I said the thing about the radiators, and wouldn't boot back up.

I looked at the error code and it apparently means something about the VGA?

Tried putting the GPU in the second PCIE slot and it didn't work.

Tried putting my old GPU in the first slot instead and it booted up fine.

Tried putting my new GPU back in and it booted.

But now it goes and does the "Display Port no signal" thing every few minutes and then my comp goes all rainbow like it's stuck in boot up mode again but no picture.

[sly elk]

what have I been saying about the 40 series

https://tenor.com/view/rubbish-top-gear-jeremy-clarkson-trash-you-suck-gif-5495325

I was speaking in response to the posts about fried 12vhpwr connectors

you know it's possible the power management design is defective

[sly elk]

welp

so you're saying your comp isn't working right with the new gpu

[paper tusk]

feels like slight understatement

[modest moss]

sounds like the new gpu is knackered if the old one boots fine

assuming it's plugged in and powered correctly

no daisy chains etc

[worldly bramble]

I have two 27" 2K monitors but I'm thinking of getting something larger. Probably two 32" monitors either 2K or 4K resolution with Nvidia g-sync. I'm also possibly thinking about just getting one of those large ultra wide monitors instead. I don't know if high refresh rate is that important for me as I play FFXIV 90% of the time. I'm curious if anyone has any comments or recommendations.

[modest moss]

the monitor nerds in this channel are @real edge @tame fulcrum and @hard drift usually

[lime wasp]

No, I have a new 3090 and my old one was a 3080.

They were all setup properly.

[hard drift]

I’m just a tech nerd 😭 I’m no specific nerd

[real edge]

huge ultrawide could be the option, depending on your budget

[modest moss]

yes but you talk about monitors, so help

I'm delegating innit

[worldly bramble]

I guess I'm trying to figure out what is possible before I decide how much I want to limit my budget to. I'm willing to save up if I think it's worth it.

[real edge]

what you mention is a luxury

[hard drift]

I mean I’m working

[real edge]

depending on how good your existing displays are

[modest moss]

then don't reply you tool

[hard drift]

I’m on break for a few more minutes and saw a ping 😭

[modest moss]

depending on your desk space, you could consider buying one large monitor and then turning the 2x27" vertical on either side for discord/browsing etc

[worldly bramble]

Although I love the idea of three monitors I don't think I have the desk space for it even if two of them are vertical. 😔

[modest moss]

I'd probably prefer width over height, but it depends what you're doing

[modest moss]

could try one chonker and one 27" vertical?

[worldly bramble]

Right now I'm mostly gaming on one monitor while I have discord or the browser on the other monitor. Yes both monitors are horizontal next to each other.

I could imagine definitely having one large monitor horizontal and a smaller monitor vertical but I'm pretty sure the lack of symmetry would drive me crazy after a while.

That actually looks cool but my desk is not wide enough for that

That's a good point, thanks

[lime wasp]

Alright so figured out what the issue is.

Except the 4080 12gb apparently performs the same as the 3080 12gb. Probably bc of the gimped memory bus

Just keeping everyone updated: Out of about 130 emails so far to the 4090cable inbox, we've received 7 that are 150V rated wires (and therefore potentially indicative of different supply), so 5%. That rating doesn't instantly mean it's bad. Replying to a few for info

GamersNexus (@GamersNexus)

And to be really, really clear so people don't panic: Again, we have no evidence presently to suggest 150V cables are instantly bad. All that means is they're the same as what Igor showed - we assume older supply, but not sure. We're trying to get some for testing.

send it to jayz so he can rush a video out the door on how the connector is dangerous!

[odd sand]

The difference between DDR4/5 atm is like 3% at most, but the ram is like 50% more and the currently available motherboards are A LOT more.

Also DDR5 had slow uptake, so it's still rather immature. I'm personally gonna wait another couple years to jump on the DDR5 train. Theoretically by then we'll be at like DDR5-7200 or something.

Is that for real? Seems odd such an old case design would have a 4090 in it

I know the theoretical max is pretty high, but the timings on that probably aren't great and you're paying a fortune. Also you're going way outside the supported speeds even for tuner boards

The prices on DDR5-6400 didn't look too terrible atm, but the benchmarks were like 3% more than DDR4-3200 or something which is for something twice the price

Oh, one other note - of the 130, not that many are actually burned. Still going through everything, but it's below 10 for sure. Several of the ones from reddit are not in our inbox, as they likely already had the cable replaced.

[jaunty light]

Prime atx3? Thought they were naming them vertex

[sharp star]

also Zotac cards using the 150W cables but not enough to draw conclusions

[jaunty light]

im just amused at all the influencers becoming PEs in electrical

jay's video where he rehashed igor's article and basically made word soup then couldn't replicate any issues intentionally trying to break a cable

[sharp star]

yeah that video was dumb

[jaunty light]

jay's a dunce anyways but i always tune in once in awhile to see what drivel he's gt

o for americans https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Single-Monitor-Stand/dp/B07QNY2G4T/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2CWU7LSE4IJW0&keywords=amazon+basics+arm&qid=1667207448&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjYzIiwicXNhIjoiMS4yNyIsInFzcCI6IjEuMzgifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=amazon+basics+arm%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-3 $27 ergo mount

[sharp star]

god I want this 12VHPWR adapter saga to end

[jaunty light]

simply get rid of atx3 standard

[bitter girder]

simply go to sleep

[jaunty light]

open your PSU with it powered on and lick the caps! works every time

[hard drift]

I mean the standard is good once they fix the issues

Early adopters suffering like always

[jaunty light]

Hold up there must be a meme for this

[bitter girder]

knock knock

[lime wasp]

I was thinking about SFF builds again; would a 280mm AIO be enough cooling for a 5800x?

And would a case like this

Or like this

Be enough airflow for that + a 3080 Ti?

[hard drift]

I kind of like the new reference model look

If i go amd this gen I’ll be getting reference this time atleast, i want an aio this gen rather than having to worry about a loop

[potent arrow]

yes

second case will have enough

I have build in it before

the first one? not so sure

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/press-release/enthusiast-aorus-z790-motherboards-support-xmp-ddr5-8000-8333-profiles-up-to-ddr5-9300-oc ddr5 9300

[potent arrow]

[dreamy chasm]

Yes

You don't need much to cool a 5800x (3d or not) at stock clocks afaik

[modest moss]

oh hey it's cyan

[dreamy chasm]

meowdy

[modest moss]

hope you've been well, haven't seen you in a bit

Uh

Hank? Lol

[deep sapphire]

Sorry was just making sure it worked in case we needed to do some work

[potent arrow]

bruh lmfao

[deep sapphire]

I feel gross

Been using a DeWalt grease gun

[potent arrow]

ew

did it jam yet

[modest moss]

just a reminder

[bitter girder]

i think those look pretty nice

[deep sapphire]

Got the good tunes going though

[hard drift]

it likely will be for rasterization which most people care about, raytracing still likely a loss dlss 3 aside

[dull garnet]

shouldn't you have replaced those with airpods max? smh

[lime wasp]

It's the Phanteks Evolv Shift XT. It has a full mesh side if you extend it all the way and fits a 240mm AIO up top

[potent arrow]

?

You pinged me with a single word.

[lime wasp]

I fixed it @potent arrow

[potent arrow]

Havnt built in it, way too big of a case for me

So I didn't comment

[lime wasp]

I see

So, hypothetical question;

Would a 280mm AIO be enough to keep a 12000k or 13000k series Intel CPU cool?

[hard drift]

yeah but the feature war is just getting started and nvidia is for sure winning with remix

[paper tusk]

Yes although for i9 13 will want an aftermarket retention frame to help with contact

[modest moss]

but is it really something you need if you have a 5800x?

[paper tusk]

No just intel stuff and maybe 7950x

[modest moss]

nah I'm trying to save Paragon some money, he has great hardware already

5800x/3080ti

[paper tusk]

[dull garnet]

not fast enough

[paper tusk]

Yeah that's a good setup

[lime wasp]

Well, I'm looking to rebuild into an SFF design, and I was thinking if I have to get a new MOBO anyways why not think about getting an LGA1700 board to be compatible with future releases too?

[paper tusk]

Intel has any future than "buy new motherboard"?

[deep sapphire]

The whole future proofing thing to me is silly, like hardware 6+ years ago can still game fine

Unless you have money to throw away just stay with what you have

[lime wasp]

And and DDR5 might be nice too

[deep sapphire]

I doubt you’ll notice any difference in the real world tbh

[modest moss]

dude your rig is top tier already, are you legit rich or something?

[deep sapphire]

If you’re an enthusiast by all means but that’s up to you

[modest moss]

like if you have money to burn, go full on Icehunter

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

but if you're a normal person, just enjoy what you have, it's great

[lime wasp]

No, just gaming and computers are my hobby.

And I like building them.

And I want something smaller than my big ATX build

[modest moss]

🤷‍♂️

go for it then

[lime wasp]

Eh I guess I can stick to the same tier and save some money

And still accomplish what I want (much smaller footprint and space requirements for my PC).

So I think I'll go with this;

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GvLg4s

I already have the GPU, CPU, RAM and Storage obviously. EDIT: And I'd be getting the Meshroom 2 obviously instead of the Meshlicious.

@potent arrow You've built in the Meshroom 2 you said right?

Would it be worth getting one of those thin little Noctua 120mmx15mm fans to put as exhaust in the top? Or is it ventilated enough that my GPU should be fine in there?

[potent arrow]

Ive had to ram one on the top on a few builds

Its a small benefit, and honestly if your gonna push the system it's worth it

[lime wasp]

I don't OC or anything but I'd like to make sure I keep my GPU cool if possible and was wondering if it was worth the effort of squeezing it in there to have a dedicated exhaust fan instead of just normal heat rising etc.

[dreamy chasm]

Man

[potent arrow]

Yes, it's worth

[dreamy chasm]

Why is audio equipment so costly

[potent arrow]

You can buy my old interface

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

Only a BAJILLION DOLARRSS

mauahahaha

[dreamy chasm]

I just spent a good chunk on a midi controller and a usb mic

I'm probably eating ramen for the next few months

[potent arrow]

Me.

[odd sand]

Don't you want an $800 audiophile networking switch made from a $30 D-Link? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMFQ3YvR3Eo

[dull garnet]

mmm ramen

[potent arrow]

If I wasn't upgrading my computer

I would've bought new headphones

Same price ;-;

[dreamy chasm]

[dreamy chasm]

im probably just

buying a cheap pair of iems

i held off on the aria purchase after finding out there were qc issues with the paint chipping

[dull garnet]

i use earpods i found in some e-waste

[odd sand]

My favorite part of that video was some sort of feng shui illuminati kinda holographic stickers they put all over the inside

[dreamy chasm]

I just want something neutral that doesn't have awful treble

[dull garnet]

get some beyer, then you'll only hear treble

[dreamy chasm]

i'm probably getting a tin hifi iem or smth

[potent arrow]

The 800s is 2100$ ;-;

[deep sapphire]

No highs, no lows, must be Bose

[dreamy chasm]

i already have a takstar 82 in the closet but it gets too hot for me to use it for extended periods

[potent arrow]

: (

[odd sand]

Prepare for treble and make it double. Beyerdynamics blasting off at the speed of light

[deep sapphire]

KEK

[dreamy chasm]

idk if there'd be much benefit to headphones in my case anyway

i dont really need

wide soundstage

i just want good clarity

[potent arrow]

Just buy MDRs at that point

[dull garnet]

[deep sapphire]

AKG in a nutshell

[potent arrow]

Fleabay time

[dreamy chasm]

again

it gets like

40c 80% humid here

sometimes

I absolutely cannot wear headphones without becoming a sweaty mess after 30 minutes during those days

[dull garnet]

here u go bro

[dreamy chasm]

200 bucks too much

[odd sand]

Have you thought about not being poor and getting A/C?

[potent arrow]

I would recommend getting my iems, but those are waaaay out of price range too

[dreamy chasm]

dont remind me that im poor as shit shinon

[potent arrow]

If you pay for shipping you can have my OLD iems(just need new tips and mmx wire)

[dreamy chasm]

o

depends on how much shipping would cost

and which iems they are

[lime wasp]

@potent arrow Do you know if Noctua makes the ultra-thin ones in Grey/Black or just the classic Brown/Tan version?

[dull garnet]

$69

[potent arrow]

I'll stick them in a letter

So idk what letter mail is to wherever you are

Shure 215s

Extremely worn out because I've work them for 5+ years, but they probably sound fine still....

[potent arrow]

Idk I always bought the tan ones lol

[dreamy chasm]

Don't iems and headphones generally age decently well unless you're pumping too much volume into them?

[potent arrow]

Maybe?

[dull garnet]

people get bored of the sound before then

or don't know basic soldering to repair cables

[deep sapphire]

I dunno my Sony buds just sorta sound good when they feel like it

[potent arrow]

Idk I worn them for stage communication and construction work

[lime wasp]

I was trying to get Black/Gray all around. Oh well if I can't then.

[potent arrow]

I don't really use noctua anymore

Only for their slim ones and what I have left in stock

[dreamy chasm]

They probably haven't appreciably changed, unless the drivers inside are damaged somehow

[deep sapphire]

I can’t believe my NHD14 still works lol

I bought the fucker in 2011

[dreamy chasm]

I like air cooling for that reason

[dull garnet]

you're expecting a lump of metal to go bad?

[potent arrow]

Only reason I stopped wearing them is because I have the 535s now

[dreamy chasm]

[deep sapphire]

Well I meant the fans

your pfp kinda lewd

[potent arrow]

My clients computer going on for 15 years without repaste in a nut shell

[dreamy chasm]

Just a little bit

[deep sapphire]

LMAO my dad had this compaq with an Athlon XP for like 13 years the CPU fan was so annoying

[dreamy chasm]

I'll have to think about it, Sarah- I appreciate the offer either way

[deep sapphire]

It’d ramp up over and over every 10 seconds

[potent arrow]

It'll be 5$ at most.

I just have to find it

[dreamy chasm]

Also, I can't thank you enough for hooking me up with that ssd a few months ago, it's been a lifesaver

[potent arrow]

Pfft

[dreamy chasm]

o

[potent arrow]

Glad it's surviving

[deep sapphire]

Technology is wholesome

[dreamy chasm]

[modest moss]

Sarah is so sweet and fluffy

[deep sapphire]

#archived-lore-spoilers wouldn’t do that for people

[dreamy chasm]

A CCX cable and new tips probably wouldnt be too much

[potent arrow]

I'll kill you

[deep sapphire]

Sarah awwwww

[modest moss]

bitch take the compliment

[potent arrow]

[dreamy chasm]

Here's to hoping my midi controller doesnt come damaged

[potent arrow]

How much are the 215s these days

[dull garnet]

fuwa fuwa

[dreamy chasm]

They're still 100 usd new

im p sure

[potent arrow]

Bruh tf

[dreamy chasm]

Probably a lot less on ebay

[potent arrow]

Pretty sure my mentor is still wearing his

[dreamy chasm]

93 on amazon

100 for the se215 pros

[potent arrow]

💀

I'll dig em out

Shove them in a letter

And put stamps on it

Literally how expensive could a snailmailed iem be

[dreamy chasm]

Probably not too much

It only really

starts costing a lot when you want to ship a box

[potent arrow]

That's what I'm thinking

Time to find my old kit.

[deep sapphire]

Buy AirPods

[dreamy chasm]

If I want to starve, I'd consider them

I'm scraping the bottom of my budget for new iems and I still can only really afford a 50 dollar pair at most

[deep sapphire]

Tim apple says they are biodegradable so you can probably eat them

[potent arrow]

Don't buy iems

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

I'll just shop mine out

It's fine, I can cover the 2$ fee LOL

Get rid of my old tech

[dreamy chasm]

Much appreciated

[modest moss]

you know it's accurate

[dreamy chasm]

Here's to hoping it doesn't get lost on the way here

[potent arrow]

I'll send two for good measure

one of my really really old ones

And my Shure 215s

Decoy iems

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

Probably worth less then the stamps

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

Check if you can even get the mmcx cables over there btw

I do have spares I can send, but those I actually need lol

[dreamy chasm]

I'll have to check

[potent arrow]

Yep

And I'll dig out the iems

[dreamy chasm]

Since a lot of chinese stores are starting to ship direct here I think I can get them for fairly cheap?

Yeah, I can get them fairly cheap around here

6-20 bucks for the cable

[potent arrow]

Jsyk the shures are meant so that the wire goes around your ears

Some people complain about that

[dreamy chasm]

I can get some spin fits for 10 bucks or so

Mhm

[potent arrow]

You can't just dangle them

[dreamy chasm]

I already use a pair that I need to do that with

They sound great for 3 bucks but, it just has a grating amount of treble

[potent arrow]

Rofl

You making music?

[dreamy chasm]

Just dabbling in it

I've had this itch for too long

[potent arrow]

Nice nice

[dreamy chasm]

Figured it'd be a good time to try scratching it now that I don't really have much going on

[potent arrow]

Imagine having not much going on, couldn't be me

[dreamy chasm]

This is arriving in 2 weeks, got it over the other versions since the software package it comes with seems like the best

[dreamy chasm]

I wish I didn't

[potent arrow]

School, work, car work, mw2 grind, 12 hrs of raiding a week

My life is a doozy rn

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

Im going to be so busy soon

The new generation of pc parts is gonna cause and influx of clients who want upgrades

So my intake is going to go up a bit

[lime wasp]

Hate to keep bothering y'all, but I was wondering if you might know of a better 280mm AIO than the one I was going to get (the one from Corsair). I've only used Corsair stuff thus far and was wondering if maybe y'all knew of another good but cheaper option or a better similarly price option?

[potent arrow]

I prefer Corsair for budget aios

[dreamy chasm]

I think gamers nexus had a writeup on these a while back

[potent arrow]

Well Corsair and lianli gallahad

[dull garnet]

well at least your 3090 will appreciate in valu-

[dreamy chasm]

nvm, i can't find it

[potent arrow]

Higher end I go for NZXT, Artic and EK aois

I personally prefer EK for sff

[lime wasp]

Or is it more a function of the fans and not the pump?

[potent arrow]

I build sff, location of the tubes matter

It's more so the fans because the pumps are basically all the same design

All of them are asetek designs : P

[modest moss]

you keep planning more spending, it's an addiction

[dreamy chasm]

I'm cringe and just put my CPU on eco mode with a low profile noctua

Mostly because I wanted a more compact case

[potent arrow]

Better then my classmate tbh

Has an i3 with a laptop cooler riveted to the motherboard

It's...

[dreamy chasm]

LMAO

[potent arrow]

.........

[dreamy chasm]

that's amazing

[potent arrow]

I hate it

[dreamy chasm]

they probably are still running it just to spite you tbh

[potent arrow]

He is

[dreamy chasm]

LMAO

[potent arrow]

80-100 C fluctuating

Still demolishes me in video games

[dreamy chasm]

what a guy

is it a recent i3

or is it like

[potent arrow]

Yes

[dreamy chasm]

cringe 2c 2t i3

ah

tbf, they're still pretty capable

but

[potent arrow]

They are!

[dreamy chasm]

100c fluctuating is a bit of a worry

[potent arrow]

Just not on a fucking laptop cooler

The worse part is that he didn't trim it down

He just ripped it off and slapped it on

So it covered most of his motherboard

[dreamy chasm]

LMAO

[potent arrow]

He literally has to use one dimm because the slot is covered

[dreamy chasm]

Did you offer to get him a cheap box cooler or whatever

[potent arrow]

And a pcie Riser too

[dreamy chasm]

ashdfiuashdfiusahfduisa

[potent arrow]

YES

[dreamy chasm]

he really is just doing all of this just to spite you

i respect it

[potent arrow]

Fml LOL

[dreamy chasm]

[dreamy chasm]

was lucky enough to know someone that was upgrading his rig at the time, so i got this for pretty cheap

[potent arrow]

Das pretty capable

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

I'm still on the 3900x

[dreamy chasm]

the newer gens show pretty substantial gains but they don't seem that beneficial when i think about it

i'd probably benefit more from upgrading my gpu anyway

anyways

midi controller coming soon™️

ill be pissed if they damage it somehow on the way here

[potent arrow]

I mean I'm upgrading to new gen

Solely because I'm getting the CPU and GPU basically for free

[dreamy chasm]

valid

Selling the old parts off to fund other things?

[potent arrow]

Nah just distributor is giving me a huge discount

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

So adding on a personal parts is basically written off

[dreamy chasm]

ahh.

[potent arrow]

I've been with these guys since I was working with my other friend when I was younger

Always been some discounts around new gens

But nothing this big

[dreamy chasm]

Mhm

[potent arrow]

my savings will be demolished

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

this generation will literally take like 40k to stock .-.

at this rate

the 7950x will destroy my powerbills too

[dreamy chasm]

Do you need that much performance

I heard it still performed fairly well if you just capped it at a lower wattage

Specially if you were just running lower threadcount stuff

Numbers seem fairly good considering the 12900k pulls 200w and the 5950x pulls 120ish stock

[jaunty light]

i NEED it

or I can get an i3 and triple radiators to copy a certain someone

[dull garnet]

make sure you spend double what you should be spending on your gpu too

[jaunty light]

I was going through builds people were doing in the 4000D and someone spent more on EK hardware than they did the GPU+cpu+mobo+ram

i was like wtf

maybe just the gpu and cpu since it wasnt a distro plate.. but like, an i5 and a 3070.. then $1k+ of hardware

[dreamy chasm]

debauer also has a pretty good writeup on power limiting the 13900k

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Bm0Wr6OEQ

But it's mostly just gaming benchmarks

barely losing to the 12900ks while pulling a third of the power lol

[modern iris]

is it worth it to upgrade ryzen 5 3600 to a 5600?

[dreamy chasm]

Probably not

Unless you have like

A good reason to pay for the jump

[dull garnet]

only if you're chasing higher framerates

[jaunty light]

5800x3d probably

[dull garnet]

but probably not generally

[dreamy chasm]

And if you can sell the older cpu

[modern iris]

cant afford the 5800xd but im seein on amazon theres 5600's for 150$

can wait for now

[dreamy chasm]

What are you running, and are you sure you'll be getting the gains that you want out of it?

You're probably more gpu limited unless you're trying to drive high framerate on lower resolutions

[modern iris]

6600 xt, 3600 mhz ddr4 16 gb

rx 6600 xt*

[dreamy chasm]

You're probably fine

[modern iris]

do you think im bottle necked alot being on pcie 3.0 where my card can take 4.0?

[dull garnet]

no

[modest moss]

you have a nice pc, just play games, have fun

[modern iris]

hm so im good 😄 maybe i should invest in a 1440p monitor

i currently have a 1920 75 hz 1 ms monitor

[dreamy chasm]

Canucks seems to have tested it a while back, doesn't seem like a huge difference for the most part

disparity is even smaller at higher res

[dull garnet]

gen 4 8x = gen 3 16x

[dreamy chasm]

6600xt's limited to 8 lanes physically

regardless of pcie gen

[dull garnet]

amd...

[modest moss]

1440p might be nice, probably better investment than that cpu upgrade you're considering

[modern iris]

i almost bought like a compact version of a 3060

[dreamy chasm]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-6600-xt-pci-express-scaling/25.html TPU has similar results

The differences are minor, don't bother worrying about it

[modern iris]

and thats what im thinking, i may not get 60 on 1440p but atleast can watch videos with it

[dreamy chasm]

Specially if you're running higher res like you seem to be planning to

[modest moss]

yeah 6600xt is too similar to a 3060 to bother

[modern iris]

yeah i gotta file my taxes to afford the monitor lmfao

ye

got some back taxes i can do

[dreamy chasm]

A good quality monitor would def be a bigger upgrade than a minor cpu upgrade either way

[modern iris]

ok glad i asked. i didnt know how much of an improvement it would be

[dreamy chasm]

I think you can get decent 1440p monitors for not too much these days

[modern iris]

yeah i was looking about 180-250 bucks

[dreamy chasm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo8B9ksWRa4

[jaunty light]

yea the first gen 1440 144 panels are usually pretty cheap

[modern iris]

hell yeah i been wanting one since i got the 6600

i just bought a 2 pack of 2x8 gb 3600 mhz

was using 4x4 2400 mhz

[jaunty light]

didnt pay much for the 83, $379 back in 2020, now could be around the 240 mark

[dreamy chasm]

You can get one of the viewsonic models for 220 now

The only bad thing seems to be the stand

but a good monitor arm isn't really that expensive

yea

IPS/1440p/144hz for 230's a steal compared to how much you had to pay a while ago

[modern iris]

for the viewsonic?

[dreamy chasm]

Yeah

[modern iris]

mmmmmmm damnit i want my refund

[jaunty light]

$65 for the black amaz basics for US people atm

dunno if the $27 one is still avail

[dreamy chasm]

There's this

.. I should get a monitor arm once I'm done recovering from buying all the audio stuff

I have 2 monitors

One of them is being propped up by a GPU box

[modern iris]

do you need hdmi 2.1 for most 1440p's?

[dull garnet]

no

[dreamy chasm]

Most of the modern ones have DP

[modern iris]

my current card has like 3 display ports and an hdmi port

would that work?

[dreamy chasm]

Yup

[jaunty light]

most if not all monitors will be DP with DSC

i cant think of one that even has hdmi2.1

[modern iris]

idk what that is

[dreamy chasm]

I'm pretty sure hdmi 2.0 can handle 1440/144 either way

[modern iris]

ah ok good

[dull garnet]

yeah my dell needs dp for 165Hz

[dreamy chasm]

https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/viewsonic-vx2768-2kp-mhd There aren't many reviews up for it, but this one seems to be pretty comprehensive and paints the monitor in a good light

Do look into the other panels in this price range too

Check reviews etc

That's for a previous model

I wonder if there's much that's changed

between the two

[modern iris]

well im gonna play some dark souls 3, thanks for the pointers 🙂

[dreamy chasm]

panel might be different

[modern iris]

that has nice amount of ports

[modest moss]

how much is LG 27GP850-B where you are?

I bought it a couple months back and it's great

[dreamy chasm]

That's 350 on amazon right now

you'll definitely notice the higher refresh rate if you play stuff like cs:go and r6s often

[modern iris]

i used to play csgo but never competitive

i notice alot of games are locked at 60fps

[dreamy chasm]

And newer games you could probably drive at higher refresh at 1440p if you turned down the settings to med/high

Look at benchmarks for games you play often with your card to check

[jaunty light]

probs default settings for you, most games unless console ports have uncap or high engine cap

[dreamy chasm]

Yeah

hehe i get a little lagh out of the usb-c to lightning cable

-plugs android phone into iphone- -iphone starts charging-

Im truly enjoying watching the nvidia subreddit be filled with melted cables

[dull garnet]

riveting

People sayin melting from the side

So it might be card problem

Speculation here and thr

[odd sand]

The Igors Lab thing covered by Jayz 2 Cents seems pretty definitive on the issue

I expect a V2 of the cable to make it into production asap. In the meanwhile someone dropping 2k on a GPU can afford another $50 for an aftermarket one from Corsair or Cablemods etc.

Who got proven otherwise by techjesus

Well, more like diff adapters

[odd sand]

And who would techjesus be? Also why not multiple possible causes

GamerNecus steve

Nexus*

His cables were quite different

He tried damaging his adapter similarly but couldnt reproduce it

[odd sand]

Consider this: Until this point, a 600W PSU powered an entire system across half a dozen cables or more. Now they are condensing all of that into a single cable with a third of the wires of 24pin mainboard power

I have no horse in this race

But i trust GamerNexus over Igor and Jay

[odd sand]

He did it to one cable? So a sample size of 1? Color me unimpressed.

I used to like GN and Steve, but I find he's gotten super obnoxious and full of himself the last 6 months so I can't stand him a lot of the time now.

I find the same about Igor tbh XD

He points out that Igor's adapters and his are completely diff
