That does look amazing

Using the picture, i can recreate Ice's finger prints and use it to steal his identity and commit many crimea

#

Muahahahaha

jaunty light
#

it lives

#

I PROPOSE WE TAKE AWAY ICE'S MOD TITLE CAUSE HE KEEPS FUCKIN UP HIS PC BUILD

#

Whyt

#

WHY

#

If its leakin...

#

Good thing ur wife is thinkin about all this

sly elk
#

ya know, I like building PCs! I enjoy putting them together and modding them and dreaming up what i'd build next...

#

but not that much

#

this setup feels kinda neurotic to me

#

mounting the laptop and the tablet lol

#

it's a magnetic mount though

its purp

#

tubes are too hard to not scratch tho

sly elk
jaunty light
#

bro these images coming out bright as fuck

sly elk
#

that's a damn good pic

#

hehe

#

i like the chrome fittings

#

i'm also impressed you went with a black build

jaunty light
#

i was going for more black and white but i aint waiting 3 months for white parts to come in

sly elk
#

for my next build, I might do sff and a large external radiator lmao

jaunty light
#

i gotta do something about the 12 pin tho its horrifically ugly

#

all these cables.. lol

sly elk
#

oh my

#

ya need a strimer πŸ˜‰

#

or maybe a longer cable that can be routed down the back of the card

jaunty light
#

it should be a bit longer so ill probably flip it over

sly elk
#

OH YOU KNOW that would be funny

#

if someone made a riser that put the gpu sideways and also upside down

#

with the pcie side sticking up lmao

#

it'd also make it easier to get the tubes out of the way i guess

#

yea

#

makes me appreciate these builds

#

SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS

jaunty light
#

getting the blue tape off the thermal pads was awful

#

its just like trying to peel from VHB

sly elk
#

LOL

#

ok so i'm not the only one that experiences that

#

I bought this faaat roll of VHB from amazon for like $9

#

and it's clear too

#

but it's kinda messy getting the backing off sometimes

jaunty light
#

i use a razorblade to lift it and even then ill occasionally ruin the vhb trying to get it off

#

both were smooth

#

1 blue 1 clear

sly elk
#

yea!

jaunty light
#

only difference was one side sticky one side not

#

the sticky side was clear and easy

#

nonsticky had a blue film that was impossible to remove

sly elk
#

sometimes i think about getting that eiswolf for my 3080ti >>

#

should've gotten the hybrid but they aren't making that cooler anymore 😦

#

and i thought it was uuugly

#

and it pissed me off

jaunty light
sly elk
#

nah there's a lot of things i'd rather spend money on

#

a lot

jaunty light
#

this was fun but lemme tell you i aint upgrading again

#

even if the 7000 3d is like 2x better than the 5800x3d

#

I HATE TUBES

#

WRYYY

sly elk
#

part of me wants a normie o11 casew

#

part of me wants

#

to really go off the rails next time and buy whatever batshit crazy thing inwin comes up with next ces

jaunty light
#

even though everything is in place now and it wouldnt be hard to take it out, draining the distro plate is.. just no

sly elk
#

if i did wc

jaunty light
#

drain valve placement doesnt work and its too tight to get your hand in there anyways with the pump cover.. so I did it from the front which was a mistake

sly elk
#

i don't want a distro plate

#

i ant a disco ball res

jaunty light
#

distro definitely simplified me doing tube runs but uh

#

made everything else 100% harder imo

#

if i had a res I'd have been done in 1 hour

#

oh and I didn't weigh it but its gotta be 50 pounds or more now

sly elk
#

this makes me wanna go with a nh-d15 on my next build :p

jaunty light
#

tbh i was fine on air until 5800x3d

#

thing wildin

sly elk
#

is it nice and quiet now?

jaunty light
#

pretty much silent

#

i can hear the fans and pump when it revs up but if i put my air purifier on setting 2 that thing is louder

#

just build your new one there

tawdry anchor
#

i have a 650 power supply if i buy 32gb of ram will it affect my performance

lost python
#

what

#

wdym affect your performance? are you worried its not enough power?

tawdry anchor
#

there we go yea not enough power

#

lol sorry

hard drift
#

😐 you already asked this

#

it's fine

tawdry anchor
#

i did?

lost python
#

that depends on the rest of your hardware but i doubt the extra 10w or something will make a difference

hard drift
tawdry anchor
#

i was at break at work sorry

hard drift
modest moss
#

yes I answered

#

ram is tiny power draw

#

what processor and graphics card do you have?

tawdry anchor
#

i have a ryzen 1600af cpu and a rtx 2060

hard drift
#

oh boy

tawdry anchor
#

i got it 2 years ago

hard drift
#

you got scammed 😐

#

i'd upgrade that cpu ASAP

#

that will hold you back for a lot of stuff

#

especially if you play xiv, that cpu will be a massive limiter for your framerate

#

upgrading the ram would net you less gains that a cpu upgrade and you can get a good cpu for am4 relatively cheap these days

tawdry anchor
#

but the cpu was $80

#

back when

hard drift
#

awful at that price point 😭

#

i'd look for a 5600x as your upgrade used

lost python
#

if the board even supports it

tawdry anchor
hard drift
#

yes

tawdry anchor
#

i have a B450-f asus

#

i updated to the latest bios

lost python
#

that should work

#

so ye an upgrade to a 5600x and, if necessary, a good cooler for it would give you the biggest gains

hard drift
#

even the box cooler would be fine

#

atleast until you get more money

tawdry anchor
#

i play on 60 hertz

#

😦

#

its not gonna be worth it at all LOL

#

but ill take notes

hard drift
#

it still would be

#

better input latency and raw performance even at 60hz

real edge
#

60hz professional esports gamer

tawdry anchor
#

i just be playing mmos tbh

hard drift
#

then cpu upgrade would do you the best

tawdry anchor
real edge
#

it was a joke

modest moss
tawdry anchor
#

Okay I apologize I'm sorry @real edge

real edge
#

anyway what resolution are we talking about

modest moss
#

it's all good mate, we're just quite casual in here, it's all in fun

real edge
#

^

hard drift
#

pfft is it really fun though?

real edge
#

1080p is more cpu bound

modest moss
#

I'm betting 1080p and that cpu upgrade is the best bet

real edge
#

1440p is more gpu oriented

#

unless you have a 4090

modest moss
#

@tawdry anchor how much ram do you have currently?

#

and are you 1080p

hard drift
tawdry anchor
hard drift
#

nah

tawdry anchor
#

With 8gb ram left πŸ₯²

modest moss
#

that's plenty

lost python
#

for pretty much every higher end card of the new gen

#

not mine though, i am still cpu limited in many games despite having a 5800x

hard drift
#

with mmos as their main game it'll 99% be cpu bound unless playing at 4k

real edge
#

the x3d gets some big gains in mmos

hard drift
#

can't wait for 7000 series x3d ASevil

real edge
#

but idk if its worth it at 60hz

#

well

#

its not like it limits your fps

#

fps above 60 is still better no matter the hz

hard drift
#

still getting more framerate will decrease input latency up to double your refresh rate if i'm not mistaken

lost python
#

gotta think differently though. if you go ahead and upgrade your cpu, you can upgrade your monitor without a worry
if you upgrade your monitor first, then you will suffer until you save up again for a new cpu kizunasmug

#

1600af is basically a 2600 iirc, better off upgrading that weak ass video card

true, you're just moody the rest of the year

i'm not moody 😭

most people don't use paracord to wrap presents

i always fuck with his gift

#

one year i did a bunch of layers of duct tape and multiple boxes with their own layers

you need to freeze it into a block of ice one year

god I want Nvidia to announce that 4080 price cut already

#

just to see AMD kick them in the ass some more of it's not a "satisfactory" price cut

umbral moss

just wait for the 5080 to come out and cost $3500

#

Mr. Leather Jacket Man will have another inventory problem on his hands

umbral moss
#

just like the 30 series where he intentionally priced the new cards so the old ones would sell first

sharp star
#

but yeah anyone could go to their local hardware retailer, ask if the 4080s are selling, and the answer will always be "no"

umbral moss
#

you think the 40 series won't sell at $1200 when they're the only cards you can get

hard drift
#

i think people need to not be dumb and buy a 4090 if they even consider a 4080

sharp star
#

Yeah the 4080 is a decoy product

hard drift
#

same with the 7900 xt

sharp star
#

I would buy the 4090 if I had the disposable income rn

#

But I would obviously avoid the 4080 like the plague

potent arrow
#

Slapping my computer to turn it on is definitely the worst thing rn

odd sand
#

Did they do a node shrink for the 40 series? Bc the die size on the 4080 is like half the 3080

yes

40 series is 5nm

and it's on tsmc

the pumps are virtually immortal if you don't run them at full throttle

can't wait for you to buy new tubing and re-plumb the loop when you drain it and find out the tubing is mildly stained neon green

If you're going ooze green you need some ninja turtle figures in the case or something

Or maybe something Nickelodeon related

modest moss

you need a little slimer

go full ghostbusters

yeah, I have my VPP655s around 60%

better too bad about the fan cables lol

and if i get different fans they will be t30s

#

u only have 6 cables total righ

#

or 12 with rgb

#

#

oh waityea the other side

#

so u went all hardline and bends?

#

o yea i got a miniature one for cutting the tubes again

still scratched every tube with the fittings

that just means the water is seasoned

modest moss
#

you picked pink so I don't bully you for wasting money

jaunty light
#

pink and purple is the way to go

#

glad i didnt bother with color coolant clear best

jaunty light
#

get solid gold fluid

#

if i wanna waste money id do more white, gold fittings and mystic fog

#

😩

jaunty light
#

ye

#

i lied heres another one but this was to compare the a7 to the xperia

#

you editing raws only?

#

my workflow is fucked up now because I haven't recalibrated my viewsonic in ages, so I edit on my alienware then compare it to a mobile device screen at max brightness

jaunty light
#

idk, workflow advice is just shoot raw and have a calibrated monitor, shouldnt be hard to color correct if it even needs to be

#

adjust WB in post, etc

#

also you're not colorblind are you

jaunty light
#

u shootin wut now

sly elk
jaunty light
#

wink

sly elk
#

so i gotta sit here and ponder

jaunty light
#

I did spot clean up with the big sensor

sly elk
#

if you did it with the a7 with the iso very high

jaunty light
#

both were 400iso for that shot

sly elk
#

and the clean pic is the phone camera with crazy noise filtering

#

or if the a7 was using a lens that has a narrow detph of field

jaunty light
#

nah you can tell which one is which just on bokeh

sly elk
#

and I have things backwards

#

yea on first glance i'd say

#

the smoother pic was the a7

#

because the blotchier pic looks like phone camera noise reduction

#

but I thihnk a lot of phone cameras do narrow depth of field now

jaunty light
#

that was also combined with layout so it probably compressed it

#

also I process almost all my photos in film tone so that's not real noise either

#

w/o simulated noise

#

and phone w/o simul

sly elk
#

greeen

#

looks like a science experiment

#

WATERCOOL

jaunty light
#

i mean, almost every photo you see is processed well beyond what you think it is

sly elk
#

I don't know why

#

on one hand, having great pictures of people is nice

#

but these kinda things

jaunty light
#

I'd have to go back to one of FoT's streams but he had like 70 layers in lightroom for one photo, and multiple stacks of exposure

sly elk
#

why make it look like a render?

#

i think it's why I hate HDR photography

jaunty light
#

overdone HDR is trash

sly elk
#

(not to mention real estate HDR which looks like something creepy and nightmarish)

jaunty light
#

yea that's the HDR people think of, good HDR shouldnt be noticeable, its to get an image closer to how eyes perceive light and shadow

sly elk
#

sure

#

well

#

i feel left out here

jaunty light
#

"HDR" for a camera is as simple as stacking 2 photos to get shadows correctly exposed and highlights correctly exposed

#

send me your raw so I can look at it

sly elk
#

lazy pic so I can fit in. I really need to clean my computer stand lol

jaunty light
#

hm idk photos seem fine to me

#

but yea your camera is quite noisy even for relatively low ISOs, but

#

didn't need 1/1k for that :p

#

is 320 the lowest ISO for that camera?

#

depending on if you have IBIS or not you should be able to shoot 100 for these

#

160iso at 1/125 for example

#

or 100 iso at 1/80..ish

#

solved ur issue

#

dslr?

#

mwahaha i just have zebras that tell me if something is clipped or massively underexposed

#

can just shoot then look at the photo to see if something is too hot or underexposed

#

the "geforce rtx" shot for me was

#

just gotta look up ya cam settings

#

the one time I used my cousins DSLR i was confused and gave it back

#

I can pick up any mirrorless and have no trouble tho

#

also press J in LR and you'll see

#

if the range is too much you'll have to exposure stack, or mask areas, which can also look weird depending on ho much recovery you have to do

jaunty light
#

used bodies are usually fine. glass is something you'll have to decide on yourself

#

nothing wrong with getting used glass but I don't bother myself

#

i'd rather spend big $ on new lenses than new bodies

jaunty light
#

u can pull much more data from FF stop wise

#

but tbh id probably skip kit get body and tam 28-75

jaunty light
#

lens creep?

#

most common zooms are the 24 70 gm2, 28 75, 24 105, etc

neither did the 24 70 gm1 which was heavy

zealous ice
#

does anyone here have knowledge on the steam deck xivlauncher?

modest moss
zealous ice
#

less go

#

I got the xivlauncher to the poijt where it's telling me I am good to go and can switch over to ff14 but then the game is just stuck at a black screen

#

(pls ping reply if you answer)

#

okay well I got in the game but now the problem is it's not registering controller inputs and just treating my joystick like a mouse

#

and also my acct info isn't there

#

okay nvm it just wanted me to watch the inteo cutscene lol, but the input problem is still a thing

modest moss
zealous ice
#

tyty, I'll see if I can figure things out myself and if not I'll hop in

modest moss
#

good luck with it, I don't have a steam deck so I'm useless

zealous ice
#

Okay yeah it's not accepting any of my inputs and both joysticks just give me a mouse

modest moss
#

see if that's relevant

#

failing that I'd say it's time to hit the goat place discord, their linux channel will get you set I bet

zealous ice

seems legit, lemme try it

it's not a good board

I really want more classified boards

Always wanted a newer one

Mm

sly elk
#

I did

#

my plan for upgrading from my asus z390 was to get an evga board

#

and it was a "meh wish they'd make an amd board"

#

then they DID

#

but too soon for me to want to upgrade, and also apparently they're not planning on making another amd board

#

been a minute but I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that they weren't planning to make an am5 board

#

and I wouldn't blame them. I doubt they've sold that many x570 boards

#

and the x570 ftw is $399 on amazon, why the hell would anyone spend that much on an x570 board

#

it's a shame because the execution was pretty good

#

it's a very no BS design

for the 'ftw'

the giant m.2 pcie heatsinks are kind of waffle iron ugly though

but I can forgive that

The thing about evga is they offer hardly anything above asus or gigabyte

#

and in a way, going with anything other than asus/gigabyte is a bad idea with motherboards

#

msi and asrock have good-ish reps as well

#

but you start to lean into "this motherboard has a firmware bug, but only 5 people ever used it, so you couldn't find any info about it on google and nobody at the company cares"

#

(and even asus is terrible about that lol)

I do really like the curve

curved monitors are marmite, love or hate

not a fan personally, glad you like it though

I was skeptical but its fine as long as It doesn't hurt my eyes. It has hdr10 which is ass. I didn't know it had it. 27" screen 75 hz, 1 Ms 12 bit color

The speakers on it are terrible. But as far as monitor itself I'm happy with it

1440p

I was playing Open Morrowind mod and it looks stunning in 1440p

i see curved displays useful if they're put in a corner

I imagine it’s harder to make a 4k 27” bright than a 1080 27” because of the pixel density - pixels are color filters, after all. You have many many more on a 4k πŸ™‚

Decent hdr panels are around Β£900+

10bit is better gradients. An old fansub trick is doing 10bit encodes bc even on standard 8bit monitors it looks smoother

"upgrade from your crappy old 1920x1200 23" to a 1920x1080 24"!"

#

frankly, anyone still putsing about on a 23" apple cinema display still has no reason to upgrade unless they're going with a 4k/5k/6k screen

void dove
#

ah yes, upgrading from a non-standard resolution to a standard one

sly elk
#

(and they probably have)

void dove
#

of course you're gonna have issues replacing a 16:10 rez monitor with another 16:10

sly elk
#

tbh

#

1920x1200 was a thing in computer monitors before 1920x1080 was

void dove
#

those resolutions kinda disappeared

#

yeah, and the industry moved away from it

sly elk
#

for a while, but they're back now πŸ™‚

#

16:9 is a wretched screen ratio

#

i'm not even sure how/why it became popular

#

"spend all this money upgrading to an HD TV so you can have black bars on all sides of the screen!!"

void dove
#

sorry? how is 16:9 a bad screen ratio?

sly elk
#

it's trash because most movies are wider than 16:9

void dove
#

TV is 16:9

sly elk
#

and 4:3 was a better format for tv

#

fite me

void dove
#

ok, but 16:10, isn't better?

#

fuck no

void dove
#

4:3 was horrible for TV

#

have you seen what they butcher in movies when they do pan and scan?

#

for 4:3?

#

ever compared a movie from pan and scan to widescreen?

#

16:10 doesn't match any standard video aspect ratios

#

it was always an odd ratio, so its not better, its worse

sly elk
#

which makes it nice for editing video....

#

idk

#

I guess it sucks if you want to use your computer screen to watch movies rather exclusively

#

but again, idk, I think the ultrawides tend to work better for that since movies tend to be wider than 16:9 hahaha

#

I don't watch tv with my computer monitor

void dove
#

that tiny extra height for 16:10, literally doesn't matter, and no one cares about it, hence why it disappeared

#

my old screen is a 1440/900, 21 inch, so 16:10

#

my old laptop was a 1280/800, so same

#

highly suggest a watch to see how the movie and TV industry standards for screen rez are beyond fucked

#

and how 4:3 was really bad for home movies back in the day

sly walrus

16:11

my brother bought this really corny chinese brand mirrorless camera off amazon

#

it has interchangeable lenses! yes it does.. indeed..

#

the body has a cheap lens that isn't removable

#

then you can screw a lens onto the body that gives it macro

#

then you can screw a lens onto that to get a wide angle

#

note that 'screw on' literally means, like a mayonaise jar top

#

and you have to turn the lens like 15 times to get it on all the way hahaha

outside of the comically goofy lens setup, the controls and UI are surprisingly good
