But they have the best value rn
am4 is dirt cheap so its the best value rn
like 80$ motherboard with 60$ ram and 170$ 6 core cpu
and you have a decent set for 300$
reminds me of the old days
for what platform
Ah, unfortunate
It's all good, there's a bunch of budget IEMS that probably fit the bill for me out there I think
Am 4 or last gen intel
well, 12th gen intel boards can use ddr5
am4 can only use ddr4
12th gen intel can use ddr4 as well
I wonder if the speed diff are that big
the difference is only noticeable on 13th gen intel
well, ""noticeable""
you get more fps on every gen of intel that supports ddr5]
but
its like 10
on good ddr5 kits
it varies
per game
its not anywhere near 50%
more like
5%?4%?
ddr4 is cheap but is at the end of its life
ddr5 is new, just as fast as ddr4, but more expensive right now with not much gain over ddr4 other than ram size
but with how cheap ddr4 is, ram size is called into question even
69420
it's not that big of a difference because DDR5 hasn't really been optimized at all 
there's been no pressure on the RAM companies to make good/high performance DDR5 because AM4 doesn't support it and intel hasn't been forcing it
AM5 is the first platform to require DDR5, like four years after the stupid spec was made
AM5 will likely anchor down DDR6 adoption too, since JDEC finished that spec last year if I recall
by the time AM6 comes around they'll be on like DDR8
(I am once again pointing out that having super long lived chipsets is fuckin terrible)
I like the confidence that if I buy AM5 I will be able to replace the cpu with a much better one 4 years later
sure, but it's a LTS chipset so it will necessarily lag feature upgrades you get from more agile chipsets
this is why intel's HEDT platform sucked
you were buying xeons that failed power validation and using the shitty xeon platform that has a 9 year lifecycle
so it took forever for new features to reach HEDT, arguably the opposite of "high end"
my board is from 2016 and doesn't have any USB C on it
It's going to be a while before ddr5 becomes financially reasonable for anyone building a system
barely any USB 3
You can get a cheap motherboard and a 5800x3d and get most of the way
Good ddr4 isn't expensive either
we're in the new-gen valley where the last-gen stuff is still widely available and cheap as hell
I member trying to find DDR3 when DDR4 became mainstream and it was like triple the price 
x3d will still last you many years I reckon
I mean, my computer is from 2016 and it's still "good enough"
unless some new cache technology gets implemented that massively dumpsters on the old one
I honestly considered keeping this tower online to give to my girlfriend so she can get into PC GAMEN without me having to spend money
she doesn't need the XXXTREME performance I do, so it's absolutely good enough
Was chatting with hammantech via fb messenger - if you are willing to xfer funds straight into their bank account with no bill of sale or receipt or anything proving why you are giving them money - you can order one now.
not shady at all lmao
Thats my concern
AM5 is too expensive right now to consider
wtf kind of bullshit is this
its essentially 300 vs like 700-900
this reminds me of Linus' "just trust me bro" argument
This Hamman?
that looks like a space heater
perfect for an intel cpu

Lmao
I saw this IRL
It does indeed look slick
Local corp
So i aint touching it
apparently it's MY only and if you want one internationally they want you to just transfer the money directly into their bank account with no notes
seems legit
Tbh, thats how it works here
the issue is more that they could just take your money and fuck off with it
and you'd have no proof you paid for a product, only that you donated money to them
Ye. P much

Its VERY much a reputation thing
Lemme see..
We specializes in gaming products components distribution in Malaysia
Look here?
I dunoe if they'll ship internationally tho
I mean, I could just use like, a milk carton or something to put the PC parts in for that matter lmao
Jesus christ
Saw someone drop 15k MYR on a pc build
Had a 4090 in it
Amd 7700
I think?
Been a long time since I've been in this section of the forum.Would appreciate if you guys got some nice suggestion to lower the budget but keep the performance high Desktop use case: Design, Gaming, Streaming, AIPreference: No bling bling RGB is fine, as long as good performance lolCPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X/ 7700XCPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock ...
Microcenter no longer has a SKU for 13900kf so I decided to just bite the bullet and order from Newegg since they have them in stock atm
Amazon supposedly had some for 575 a few days ago for a late Nov delivery but they're sold out now so 🤷♀️
So when I get back from my trip here, I'll have all my stuff for the rebuild. Have to get unlazy and do proper cable mgmt this time heh
having more ram than hard drive space
I wonder if it will ever become viable to make drives out of your ram and placing videogames in there
with ddr5 being huge they are starting to
but games are becoming bigger
Ram drive concept is ancient
I never bothered, didn't really have a need
Like most of your purchases now 

A fuckin 12100F with a 3090
Forever a classic
We love you Ice
True I’ve been on a 90s country kick the last couple days
At least he buys Intel I guess
as you should
And bidori appears as I say that
I was obsessed with country and western culture as a kid lmao, my dad told me I knew the lyrics to abunch of popular country songs
no but i listen to it/grew up listening to it because parents
Based
my mom and dad both listened to a lot of country 🙏
and then you have the new stuff 😔 pop country
My daughter used to sing grandmaster flash when she was tiny 
i've given up on talking about tech 🙏
Don't push me cos i'm cwose to da edge
I can’t wait for when you give her that hot wheels

Mid December lol
You should be an asshole and put it in a giant box to fuck with her

Only medical tech in the clinic please
and with that i shall leave 
Much better than ATI Ruby
God I do not miss when 90 percent of graphics cards had a half naked girl on them
Like fuck sakes can I just get a normal looking card
I do not need soft porn on my tech
My ATI 5970 HD had Ruby’s boobs right front and center

That card was a beast too bad the drivers sucked major ass
I only pay monthly because the game is that boring
Yeah I get the basic bitch sub plus 2 retainers
That reminds me a buddy of mine from the army randomly hit me up during the ARR days asking if the game was fun and he dead ass bought a 6 month sub and played all of a week
Never saw him again

Works out to 9.99 gbp
Yeah the cheap tier is 12.99 USD and that’s all you need
Leveling an alt just sounds awful
A few months back I semi levelled an alt, just to redo ARR 2.0
Was a good time but no way would I fully level one
Then stop spending dumbass
What size
Eh nbd then
I just have an FC small
I'll decorate eventually
I like a lot of music, but country and rap are probably the ones I can find the least songs I like. 
I know there are still good stuff in both genres, but if it takes me a ton of effort to find stuff I don't mind I just don't bother 🤷♀️
same 
I love boobs, can't get enough of em
but not to have them all over my PC like some kind of weird porn convention booth
same, unironically
@deep sapphire btw, @modern iris says hey
hey
Happy RDNA3 Day everybody
I wonder if they'll come with working drivers
Not while they're being made by amd
most likely not sadly
I very much wanted one of the cheap 6900xts floating around but I did not buy them because of the drivers
and from rumors, the 40 series will be expensive and shit
this is all just bad
Neither
Irresponsible purchasing decisions lets go
RDNA 2 efficiency was fairly decent last I checked
I could see them straying from that just to hit better performance targets, though
"what is the gaming experence we can bring" how about drivers which aren't a meme
and video transcode/hw encode that can actually be used
Best we can do is "value"
24gb vram
not gddr6x, plain
"it sounds liek there's a few excited people out there"
I'm not one of them
claimed 54% increase per watt
surprise count: 0
I knew these 2 would be the only announce
the last driver at least took a step into the right direction, finally fixing HVEC and stuff
also thanks youtube. I up the res to 1080 and it looks te same as 720 screen caps
now if only they could fix hardware acceleration...
maybe that means the prices wont be at 1500$+....right?
I do like bringing back "XTX" though
Lol
they are doubling down on infinity cache (which was the architecture chokepoint in current gen)
trying to get this rather than the text bullet point and techobabble he's talking about
54% more transistors? are they though?
new process, more transitors per mil. ehh
maybe better raster but 6800-6900 also had good raster at the expense of hw raytrace
i love how everytime the slide changes, the camera focuses on the guy instead
finally supports DXR. I can't even remember when dxr was first specced
supports billions of colours; will be used on displays that barely support 70% ntsc
ok new media engine but will the drivers crash again when using it though? 
bragging about av1 topkek
also god damn the audio balancing is ass. sometimes its so hard to hear this guy
mumble mumble performance per watt mumble mumble
raytracing performance will still suck though
yep
cringe
sup gamers
1.6x 40fps is still not impressive though
"just" 355w
now we're cooking
and spikes to 600 again i assume?
i cannot be arsed to watch this stream
8k gaemer monitor. seems like an appropiate plug because it'll cost 8k usd
samsung still cant figure out a way to not give you all sorts of issues in 90% of the monitors
thats just samsung
ok but what settings though?
833FPS in Valorant, 600FPS in Overwatch 2
inb4 ow2 settings are the low preset
because that's what people did for ow1 (not for frame rate but to better see opponent players)
whoopie fucking do
god this sucks
barely anything visible 
oh my gerd the grass has a better shadow
also selling cybertrash being actually playable at 4k?
also lol @ the 216 FSR supported games
not really anything to brag about when the majority uses an outdated FSR version that looks just terrible
is it?
also does the partnership mean we get a division 3?
then i go ahead and say 1399
"we made a demo specially made for new hw isn't this awesome?"
(spoiler amd. I still don't play benchmarks)
mandalorian says hi (virtual sets in UE)
aaa the cringe
I think I'll guess 1000 usd for 7900 xt, 1300 for xtx
"Was that 96FPS at 8K?!" In the AMD live chat.
No. No it was not. It had FSR -- and it's not chat's fault for reading it wrong. It's AMD's for making that text as absolutely small as possible to mislead you
alright to be fair, the software is solid. i really like it and the features it offers
nvidia should really step up their game and deliver the same level of features, without needing a mandatory account
4090 for performance. xtx probably for price and power consumption and not setting your pc on fire
I'm betting $2000 for XTX but you think it'll be cheaper?
I'm leaning slightly towards 4090 but barely (value wise it's shit. and not going to touch the lowest tier outsourced power adapter)
if its 2000 for the xtx then AMD killed itself once again
hyper r..
it kills itself every gen anyway as long as they do not fix their atrocious drivers
We'll see how cheap it is xD
HEVC and oculus VR finally fixed in the newest driver 
I can't even complete the joke sorry not sorry. setting pre-render setting to 1 isn't new. at all.
hypr R sounds like some oneclick button to enable FSR and radeon anti lag
meanwhile nvidia released hotfix drivers today for MW2. they still kinda low key suck
Earlier did they say developers will be able to make better use of Ray Tracing in future games?
with DXR yeah (instead of nvidia's version)
that one time im glad to have AMD becuase my friend suffers of flickering textures and crashes in MW2 and i have absolutely no problem performance and stability wise 
I really want some awesome Ray Tracing in games
yeah the hotfix is for textures. I think crash bug is still a thing
I'm sticking with 522.25 until more bug fixes
hmm that video stuff sounds neat if it works
yeah, if
laptops go away. i want to see prices and release dates
Laptops > Desktops
I'm focusing on h266/vvc (vtm encoder) so this isn't exactly a strong incentive to spend mony for me
That's good
sauce?
did they compare those to the 4090?
yup stream finally caught up
im gonna get it lmao
How much are the working drivers, $699?
yes
ofc after reviews
Upgrade to am5 too ice
nope only to previous gen amd

AMD today announced its new Radeon RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX GPUs, unfortunately deviating from what was otherwise an incredibly clean announcement to rely on disingenuous marketing claims about “8K” “gaming” on the new RX 7900 XT & XTX GPUs. Other than steamrolling itself with its...
but we already know the 4090 is superior in terms of performance
I'm still feeling the overpriced 3060 ti from beginning of the year so I might be forced to wait on this. edit: doesn't help I still remember my last amd card having total driver failure/black screen and absolutely nothing i could do to fix it
I have loved the 2 years with my 3060 ti for MSRP 
I for one am very glad to see AMD stepping up like this. Couple this with Intel entering the gpu ring with surprising performance and Nvidia might finallllly start to sweat just a little
Juuuuuust a little
when somethings too good to be true, it probably is false
gotta wait for reviews first, especially on the driver side
Nvidia's screwed on price but we gotta wait until December for performance
AMD GPU 
MT61K512M32KPA (gddr6. 16 gbit. 8ghz) goes for $26.22 usd a pop in quantity of 2000
look at the amd simping
so roughly 300 for vram raw cost
hank would be disappoint
apparently there's a USB-C port in the back instead of a second HDMI port
we should always refer to them that way
I've thought that exact phrase a few times when poking at my phone
and whenever i've used a samsung tv
not likely, intel isn't exactly close unless it's a DX12 title under very specific conditions and even then it's a purely mid-tier product
that's because samsung phones and tvs are crap
well apple aint releasing their shit for non mac computers so 
nvidia doesn't give a single fuck about its competitors until they're producing comparable products for less
i think samsung phones are very nice sometimes.
but also crap other times
AMD would have priced the 7950XTXTXTXTXTXTXTXTXTX at $1500 if they thought it performed equivalent to a 4090, because people are paying $1500 for a 4090 so why would they leave money on the table
their os is hideous and unforgivable
the exynos s21 was the worst
overheated listening to music

it's a feature
true
but yes Exynos is shit
i have had a s1, note, s8 and s9. currently have a tab s7 and have done everything i can do de-samsung-ify it
custom roms
android lollipop ruined the s5
well samsungs stuff they did to it was the problem
you get what i mean tho
not sure
Which is expected. It's their first step into the Gpu market and the first gen of what will hopefully be more to come down the line. If they're serious about staying in the market which I believe they are they'll improve upon it. May take a few years but they'll get there
but then i found out about cyanogenmod and it was a good phone again
I don't believe intel is serious, which is my main beef
i'm on my 3rd week or so with my fold 4
i miss my iphone 8
they were like "we're going to lead the way in SSDs" until samsung shit on them in price/GB and then they just quietly ducked out
iphone 6 unironically my favourite smartphone
and for multiple reasons I'm still dragging my xs aronud lol
none of them really related to the fold 4 though
having produced a cutting edge first gen SSD and then rapidly becoming an also-ran with three gen back performance
what a beaut
it's definitely not a 'does everything perfectly' device
ahhh man
that's an s, close enough
one of my beefs with samsungs is they suck at the whole like
being a good company
samsung shit cost too much
"I'm holding my phone with one hand, and because my hand is wrapped around the phone, it's not registering touches anywhere on the screen because the edge of the screen is touching my hand" bullshit
OH DUDE
if it wasn't for people who have no idea about anything going "ooga booga, £70 a month phone contract"
THE GALAXY EDGE PHONES
I thought that was only a problem with rounded edge samsungs
omfg
they wouldn't be doing so well
but the fold 4 screen has flat edges
i thought the edge phones were lit af
and I still find myself having to hold the phone in the most ridiculous way
lol
becaues having my palm overlap the edge the tiniest bit
then i got an S8 and it was shit
and it ignores touch in the middle of the fucking screen
iPhone 14 Pro Max users rise up 
if you own a 14 pro max
you probably owned a 13 pro max
because the only people buying those are people who buy a new iphone every year
based, honestly
nah I went from 11 pro max to 14 lol
^ idk that's still kinda the same thing 😄
the 11,12,13,14 are basically the same phone >>
lol yeah kinda
yep
I just won't do it every year
oh a lot of samsung fanboys were angry that the fold4 is basically a fold3
what I find frustrating generally with android phones is that like
iphones are sold adn designed to be used a certain way
android phones can do a thing a dozen different ways
but if you buy a quirky phone
then it was only designed to work the way the company who made it intended it to be used
so you have this temptation of doing it one of the other ways
and it doesn't work/feel right because it can't
like using third party keyboards on a fold 4
also, apple earned a level of trust I can't give google or samsung lmao
"hey add your credit cards to samsung pay!" .. uh no
i like the hardware but i'm not so sure about the software yet 
the soc thing, it does at least feel faster than my xs
my xs running ios 16 is a bit of a dog
think i have the sd 865+ in my tablet and its pretty snappy, but i only use it for tachiyomi anyway
seems to play any backward ass anime encode too
i will say, i wanted something new and funky and it was a lot cheaper than a 14 pro would've cost me. but samsung's msrp is outrageous
1800? are they smoking crack?
whatever
is that one of the phones samsung are promising 5 years of os updates on at least
in terms of being able to take good pictures/video? or in terms of lifetime with software updates and stuff?
i was thinking the latter
i think fucking samsung promises 3 years os and 2 years security updates 
I also don't expect the folding screen to last that long
Just be me with an 8 year old phone
maybe that was it, parity with pixel updates from the 6 onwards
pretty sure my pixel battery will be toast in 5 years though
on the flip side, my 3 year old xs is worth like $300 at best. so I assume a 3 year old 14 pro would be worth similar
this cost like $200 less? and if it's worthless in 3 years i don't care
tends to happen with android phones
my friend couldn't get a refund on a pixel 7 as he decided he wanted a 7 pro
barely managed to get half what he paid for a brand new phone

then said he preferred the 7
i honestly don't know. might have been because he cancelled his monzo plus so they sent him a new card. i'm not sure that would really matter but he ended up making a £200 immediate loss which was funny to me
lol at least i got a good deal on my fold4 so I can sell it for what i paid for it
Sounds like a skill issue
i mean pixels are having similar fat discounts atm
Hoping for a sweet black Friday 6a deal tbh
they seem to have done that thing where they give $$ for old phones though
but not the 6
which was messed up
fucking samsung at least does give you a decent trade-in value
6 should still sell
(which I suspect is why their phones are overpriced to begin with)
oh, google do offer a repair service
Oh is it busted
no
like if you trade in a year old fucking samsung for the new one it'll get you a like 50%+ discount
but if i want the full life of the device i'll probably want to replace the battery in a year or so
iSmash
so this is a thing i don't understand about iphones
🤢
people saying that their iphone got a huge performance boost by replacing the battery
but when I go in battery health on my xs it says it's not throttling
If it is in A grade condition cex will give you 312 quid
I just got 800 for my 11 pro max
i'm not selling it but lol

Testing out the HDD Clicker by Matze and Serdaco, a board that generates hard disk clicking noises based on HDD LED activity. No more unsettling silence on old machines running off SSD, Compact Flash, or SD card interfaces!

this is the stupidest thing I've seen since Lewis came back to tech
you were the one who invited me back
yes, I'm the stupid
the oldschool noises are nostalgic but I don't miss them
moreso I don't miss CRT whine
or having a 50lb monitor
or the way you would get the geometry just perfect at 1280x1024, then open up an 800x600 game and the geometry would be all fucked up
well, that's what you get for calibrating for 5:4
or like, for whatever reason, a certain picture/image would also screw with geometry for no particular reason sometimes
or
the permanently attached vga cable would start to break down
and you'd have to tape it to the back of the monitor at a funky angle to not have blue missing or whatever
good displays had a modular cable 
yea but very few
very very few
like nice trinitron displays also had the permanent cable
how come?
ya know the sad thing is at some point, someone gave me a really nice crt that had modular inputs
just rude, lowballing
it was like 20" and weighed a ton and a half
but i never was able to get the cable (or afford it) so I ended up giving it away 😦
crt are good but not for text
goods not as described, goods not received, paypal disputes always in favour of buyer, etc
Oh that shit
there was a dude on shmups.system11 with a 980 Ti powering a FW900 with FF14 and it looked sweet
i don't think you can use that word anymore
lol
my biggest investment is in aapl >>
i wish it'd stop looking like a roller coaster ride
@tame fulcrum i already said I’m not discussing tech anymore 🙏
why doe
meh
you're just enabling the anime if you don't
i could dump my savings accountinto stonks
bidori comes back when amd get a W
can you not get a white gpu block thing and a white motherboard?
for $1200 
Enabling the anime?
that's not white
As always we’ll see
ice are you saying the metal covers get in the way of the water block fitting?
oh
but the board trim is silver
and your block is sexy chrome

i learned a valuable lesson today at work
never tell management that you made a homelab if your job has nothing to do with it
Why?
O_o
i went from being a humble webdev to devops in a matter of a few words as a higher up passed by me
oops
because nobody wants to pay to give us a proper devops team
yep. that happens.
Rip 🙏
i get a good laugh out of that sometimes
i had to deal with load balancing and ssl passthrough, i learned a lot but my confidence in it is low
i thought i had it right at first but apparently ssl termination is a thing
anyway i just want to go back to node
😭
and I could never convince IT to do things so that the automation crap wasn't tied to my personal account's ssh keys/tokens/whatever
🙏 you got this
then one day I quit
and a few days after that they deactivated my account
gahahaha apparently they didn't realize just how much stuff I worked on until that happened lol
it wasn't like they were screwed, one of my coworkers got IT to fix their shit and then fixed all the devops shit to work independent of someone's account
we still got a good laugh about it over dinner a few weeks later
it's fun, but i want to be paid for it better than the peanuts they give me for webdev work
not once did i ever bother to work with load balancing though let alone anything with ssl
but for now i got a little nginx reverse proxy setup going to their apache server and the ssl passes through just fine
i would of let it terminated and called it a day but they have things i didn't feel right doing that with
it would be better if we had a team 😭 i don't like this kind of responsibility by myself
my contract ends next month with the place i'm at now 🤞 but i'm waiting before applying somewhere because my girlfriend's looking at taking a job in another area, and if she gets that then we'll be moving
unless it's remote work, i'd sacrifice one of my arms or legs for remote work again 😭
160-250k? i'd probably not be qualified for it haha
around 5-6!
ooo
I'ma look
just skimming through their stuff, i definitely see a few i can apply to
frontend engineer would be the closet, even though i do more back end work but it's all javascript which seems to be what they want the most
i'll save it 💜
atm my peanuts is roughly $60k after tax for full stack, even though it's more backend than front end for me
so duck duck go / microsoft would be a huge step up 😅
duck duck gogogo
their map system annoys me so much
-opens saved search for houses for rent in sunnyvale- -drags map around- -it updates to show listings in new area- -zooms in on new area- -it shows listings from sunnyvale again-
but if you're seriously looking for something, their system updates before zillow's does
-chuckle- so tell me why the map breaks if you move it 😄
-gives a cookie-
lol
i still get a laugh out of this
one of those is not like the others
ahhh that's my imposter syndrome feeling 😄
they just record their setups and pretend to type with their shitty £600 mechanical keyboards and post it on instagram
Ah, a Reddit user
yeeee
wall mounted studio monitor speakers
a benq screen light bar thingy above their screen
grey felt deskpad
natural leather accessories with the stitching and lumberjack closures
i love /r/battlestations and /r/macsetups
but there are so many cookie cutter setups lol
I mean, if you optimize yours will become cookie-cutter-ish-too
-points at the alex drawers by his own desk-
I judge setups entirely on audio
well, i don't have studio monitors 😛
but i do have my funky looking edifers with the sub that looks like a snail :]
🐌
and it thumps nicely
the wireless nature of the sub can be a little annoying, i wish it had a hardline option
idk he has black monitors with white cones
didn't bother looking close but that usually means yamaha hs
tfw no yamaha ns10
i like those
tweets from speaker
i just have a soundbar that says fuck on it
i just use it for my tv when im in bed
its fine for movies
i have my headphones for everything else
no
Cringe
Could have bought one good pair instead
^ that looks like $airpods max
ones for my playstation ones bluetooth and the bottom is for my computer
so many headphones
i just like headphones
I wear headphones approx 1% of the time
i have earphones too
That's what she said
Look at this Sony shill
sony is okay
So so for audio
I own these and they are a mixed bag
They sound great but they’re uncomfortable and the battery life is pathetic after a year
link buds or xm4s?
My first pair did too lmao
the linkbuds s are much more comfortable
i like how it's labeled
but things like female vocals
The replacements have been fine ish but they don’t work great with iOS
your place is like the bat cave
with labels on everything huh
It had some weird volume bug where if you put it above 70 percent volume the quality drops hard and it isn’t even loud
Not really, but labels are fun
My OG AirPods still work
Battery is why I wouldn't buy wireless buds
one of the better things i bought for $90 but
yea I agree
when the battery is done they're trash 😦
Just have to consider them consumables I guess
i have sennheiser momentum 2 earphones thats lasted a while
think i got them in 2018
gave em to my mums partner though
they are doing well with battery life
Sennheiser make pretty good stuff
i didnt like the sound of em
Like the hd 650
even with the high end tuning
their wired headphones are better
their bluetooth stuff aint as good as i hoped

i had their bluetooth headphones the momentum 3s
walked back from work
was raining
killed them

the momentums always looked too small to me
earphones or headphones
I got rain in my pixel 6's usb port
the earphones are huge drums
The phone detected it and disabled the port
they're not that nice to wear
and then it stuck saying water detection for 9 hours
I use the port for my earpods so I was annoyed that I couldn't listen to my podcast still

pain
Activated again after like an hour
yeah xm4 headphones are pretty good when it comes to water so im glad i do own them because sometimes i get fucking drenched outside
Quick swim
pain
AHHAHAHA
airpods just make the funky noises
Sony PTSD
close
Can terry bring me relics of tech past next
Thank you Terry
lol like how every other dashcam uses a chipset that makes the same metallic sound that sony digital cameras make
Lmao wtf I’m chilling in my truck outside my apartment and some dude is screaming at what I’m assuming is his brother about not getting an oil change on time
Lmao lame ass dude
i TOLD YOU hank GET THE OIL CHANGE AT 3000 but NOOOO you went 10 THOUSAND? I LITERALLY cant believe you!!

Cinnamon bun
(full disclosure this is my track car, I do not plan on servicing it ever)
It will run till it explodes Cars 2 style
Hell in my bike i have like 6 year old rotella t6
Cinnamon bun fan 69
:)
True
this design isn't good for people with OCD
and it won't charge if I put it so the camera is hanging off the edge
Thats what u get for buying a sammy
yea that's why i said
you gotta call em fucking samsung
XD
apple would have a team of bald dudes with british accents to make sure that the charging ring was in just the right place that picking up the phone felt the most comfortable according to a focus group
it's the noise that dell poweredge switches make when you turn them on
it's like a dentist drill but 10x louder
I’m not clicking it
The comments in the 7900 launch thread are great
hemorrhoids sounds like a better deal than the RTX 4080.
Lmao some dude has a license plate with like BB88B8B on it
the one where you can get a steam deck for 399
some shitbox laptop that this guy is hyping up way too much
shoot, with the drop in pc prices, and probably soon a surplus in used mid-range business PCs
you'll be able to do it lol
yea at this rate, a used 3060 and an old optiflex will probably suffice
ice's build is running cooler than mine with his gpu pegged to 100% and cpu at 2%
my gpu is at 0% and my cpu is at like 14%
and I have higher temps >>
ice is also fuckin OCD'ing his shit past the point of being called unreasonable too
pcb not warping? temps fine
solder not melting? you're fine
not smelling burnt plastic? you're fine

wouldnt it make more sense to test fan profiles with... you know... actual usage conditions?
^ I agree 100%
that's the best thing about having a fan controller you can control on the fly
i mean, obviously set hard limits of "if you approach this temp, MAXIMUM SPEED ENGAGED"
but other than that? actually use it and go from there
i miss that style of advertising
camera prolly takes better pictures than his eyes
if their drivers do not suck I may consider it
but I prefer nvidia for stability
but with ngreedias ridiculous prices...
Amd has been better about their drivers as of recently
not towards older systems
recently did a driver update and it fucked up my game performance really badly on every single game i played
had to do a rollback
how old are we talking
you must be old enough to remember omega drivers to post here
because ATI drivers were so bad you had to go third party

Oh shiet
There was something better
Than ATI drivers???
I had a 9800 pro all in wonder
That was my first gpu
Was so cool had a fuckin remote
i'll never forget an ati driver that made my friend's x1950 pro bluescreen when it viewed high resolution images
lets gooo
I would like to be a tech mentor
I have daily BSODs and have not went crazy
I will be the perfect candidate
Ice.. i might just build
A 3090
Like.. fuck it all
computer
you’re gonna build a 3090?
Yes
Like the primitive tech guy
Out of lego
that's how
you ever find yourself accidentally trying to capitalise a number?
i do it sometimes and laugh
3090 with a 7600 for top keks
capitalize an exclamation point for extra emphasis
..
use more exclamation points to make sure your point is made
Ok, do you guys think an aftermarket closed loop will be a good idea
it'll be OK
Or just a chonker air cooler
but not as good as a proper custom
Im not doin a custom loop
those tiny tubes don't hold or move a lot of water
why, you don't own a screwdriver?
Do it, so I get to mock all your next fuck ups
Because i dont have pipe cutters??
um?
hose cutter is like $15 lmao
use soft tubing, don't listen to icehunter and use hard tubing when you know you're going to have to break it down
And the fittings are ex here
I'll donate my belly laughs
No computer NEEDS water cooling
It's only when you intend extreme usage
So aoi can just not bother
They're not a hsrdcore gamer and 3d modelling isn't going to be that insane
Yeah their ambient temps will be a bit higher but even so keeping the stock gpu cooler dust free and a fat noctua on a cpu with a good airflow case and it'll be a good time
Keep it simple
I got a small technological question if someone can answer it
More of a curious question but my old Wi-Fi modem combo was on the fritz so I went to get a new one put it in in my username for the Wi-Fi connection and the password for the Wi-Fi where the same is this normal I thought all that stuff was kept on the modem in itself?
Water cooling is excessive unless you have the time and patience for it
Or in my case, pun unintended, you actually need it
Because sff cooling is a fucking meme
that's great
milk create gaming pc
when
crate
i forgot how to spell crate
its crate right
honestly impossible to give an accurate answer other than it depends on your isp and/or hardware
crate
@modest moss how cold is it where you are rn
im literally vibrating in my kitchen right now its cold
I'm considering putting on a hoodie
but I just turned on my pc so that'll warm me up
ahhahahaha
10c outside apparently
lol you dingbat
in winter i just really wanna play a cosy fantasy rpg
that isnt final fantasy
i wish skyrim was better
I'm right here
show
wtf
So my coworker is talking in the meeting and I get echo bc all muting is global
So I can't actually mute him bc im in the same room like you could in discord
They finally added a push to talk with the awkward keystroke of Ctrl+Spacebar ... but it still only works if the window is in focus
ice you worked on teams, didn't you?
i love it
Yeaah
exactly
So a man walks into a bar, and sits down. He starts a conversation with an old guy next to him. The old guy has obviously had a few. He says to the man:
"You see that dock out there? Built it myself, hand crafted each piece, and it's the best dock in town! But do they call me "McGregor the dock builder"? No! And you see that bridge over there? I built that, took me two months, through rain, sleet and scoarching weather, but do they call me "McGregor the bridge builder"? No! And you see that pier over there, I built that, best pier in the county! But do they call me "McGregor the pier builder"? No!"
The old guy looks around, and makes sure that nobody is listening, and leans to the man, and he says:
"but you fuck one sheep..."
black friday with argos is shit
A welsh problem in particular
"why is my computer so slow whenever I turn on anything graphicallly intensive???"
Also: 1050 😐
that might be the gpu my wife has
So dusty the fans don't even spin
maybe a 1050ti
Nah it's a 1050
hers isn't bad, runs fortnite at 1080p60 on maxed settings, same with XIV iirc
Regardin my Q previously. I was just lookin at prices of coolers for amd and saw aircoolers had similar pricing to aftermarket closed loops
Aoi do you trust your luck?
Jsyk AMD stock coolers are good
for you I'd say just bang in a chonky noctua and be happy
why would an air cooler give you grief
I mostly forgo buying coolers for most AMD processors
Evil chunk of metal
i guess the dust got in the motor because there's really not that much dust on that
Cuz im paranoid?
I had to brush dust off to get it out LOL
I was eyein zen 4 or last gen intel
paranoia is making you want to use something more complicated with extra points of failure
that is
ok
And sorta rabbitholed into coolers
Like COMPACTED solid dust
I think ddr 4 is a "good enough" deal ye?
Ddr 5 is for latest and greatest am5 or newest intel?
ddr4 is obsolete
Ffs. Really?
yes this ddr4 I just bought no longer works
no

Sorry. Im worried i'll mess up
Man can perform fucking eye surgery but can't figure out ram
Worried i'll buy a ddr 4 and then OH OOPS DDR5 IS SOOO much better
you'll process that ddr4 is fine some day
Or you won't get anywhere
buy some things that match, use the things, be happy
There are also diff speeds?
If you want fool proof, just go for zen 4, ddr4 16/32, dual nvme, 3060ti-3080
Don't replace it for 4-5 years
DDR5 will be better once they're not the price of a kidney
Call it a day
Like ddr 4 2k+, or 3k+?
2k MHz still exists??
I bought ddr4 3600
look for 3800 cl16
Lemme bring up me spreadsheet
3600 CL16 is waht you need for ryzen
2400mhz is still found in value ram, sarah
sometimes people just want chrome go faster
on their 5 year old laptop
and they have like
They have a ddr 4 2400Mhz
why am I even remotely considering going down another Aoi rabbit hole
Yes
and
