the stand on this makes the msi look luxurious lol

paper tusk
#

yeah about that

sly elk
#

also the koorui uses an external power supply brick

paper tusk
#

yeah noticed that

sly elk
#

it also has a very chunky 'chin' like the msi lol 😄

#

possibly chunkier

#

are you in the US?

paper tusk
#

yes

sly elk
#

oh ok, cool!

#

btw @deep sapphire honda accords somehow get 30mpg city in a 1.5 turbo haha

#

I wonder how long that 1.5 turbo will last dragging around a friggin honda accord

#

that car has to weigh at least 4000lbs

paper tusk
#

was going to type until the turbo explodes...

deep sapphire
#

lmao they probably still have poor oil dilution issues

sly elk
#

it also has a CVT

#

so the question is which one explodes first

deep sapphire
#

low friction rings

sly elk
#

the turbo or the transmission?

deep sapphire
#

means more blow by

#

the paint of course!

sly elk
#

@paper tusk I'd say keep an eye on slickdeals and /r/buildapcsales

paper tusk
#

aye aye

sly elk
#

if you're trying your darndest to stay at/under $100 it might not turn up much but ey never know

#

oh hey

#

there sadly isn't much talk about it lol

#

i was hoping to see if anyone had experience with it >>

#

I wouldn't trust the amazon reviews off a chinese brand AT ALL

paper tusk
#

yeah that's the fun part

deep sapphire
#

im gonna be real honest with you

#

amazon is basically just a chinese retailer at this point

#

I would avoid buying anything expensive there at all costs

paper tusk
#

especially with the 1-2 of bribe reviews, and insisting on multiple devices in one listing (so have to filter them out)

sly elk
#

yea also, if the $100 is a big investment for you, I';d hesitate about buying a non-established brand x_X

#

it might last a year and then crap out

#

or who knows, maybe it lasts 10 haha

#

my oldest bro has a habit of blindly buying stuff off amazon and citing 'good reviews'

paper tusk
#

oof

sly elk
#

i've watched him buy some really crappy chinese crap

paper tusk
#

sounds like he wishes for trouble

sly elk
#

the thing that scares me is how they toss li-poly batteries into EVERYTHING

#

even stuff that has no reason to

#

like fucking alarm clocks

#

$10 alarm clock and it has a backlit screen and runs off battery power.. wow .. wait how does that work? oh it has a li-poly battery that can last a week at a time?!

paper tusk
#

whoopie 🙃

sly elk
#

all this said, my bro decided he wanted a point and shoot camera and bough tthis 4k chinese camera

#

the build quality is comical but it's working a lot better than I expected

#

pic quality? probably not much better than a cheap cellphone

#

this echoes what hank said about amazon imho

#

it's frustrating to try to shop amazon sometimes

#

like unless you have a specific brand, or set of brands in mind

#

it's basically aliexpress with fast shipping

#

^ I searched "4k camera" and got this, there was one (1) camera from a well-known brand in there lol - 2nd to last of 10 results

#

even when you search for a name brand amazon will try to force you to buy sketchy cheap crap brands >>

sly elk
#

oh wow they still do stick shift school buses in some places o_O

deep sapphire
sly elk
#

and i've fallen down an old city bus rabbit hole

#

i think gillig phantoms are basically the shit box of city busses

deep sapphire
#

I know Allison makes a lot of the autos for buses don’t they

sly elk
#

and yet prolly a lot of us who took the bus would have nostalgia for them

#

because basically everyone had them in the 80s/90s and very often 2000s

deep sapphire
#

That old Detroit diesel

sly elk
#

but they rattled and squeaked like crazy lmao

#

that one's actually on the quiet side

deep sapphire
#

They were smooth

#

Slow as fuck

#

But smooth

sly elk
#

man I still think it's wild they made gillig phantom school buses lol

#

they didn't really sell those on the west coast

#

they look a lot cooler than a thomas or blue bird

minor hollow
#

yeah i wanted a DAP for the gym

#

didn't really care about FLAC, just wanted something light to blast music to bluetooth earbuds while working out

#

i gave up

#

it's like 500 different generic chinese brands with obviously astroturfed reviews

#

like, sure, it woulda been $50

real edge
#

seems about right, is there anything wrong?

#

ohh yup haha

#

idk why nvidia skimps out on vram

minor hollow
#

nothing

#

i didn't trust fucking anything

#

lmao

sly elk
#

the funny thing is that if you're using bluetooth it kinda doesn't matter about the hardware as long as it can load files

minor hollow
#

exactly

sly elk
#

but the UI can still be infuriating

minor hollow
#

i didn't need any frills

#

i ended up using my old phone

#

htc 10

sly elk
#

i went this route with my oldest bro when we had to ban him from smartphones for a while

real edge
#

drivers

minor hollow
#

i needed a battery swap since thats why i'd stopped using that phone to begin with

#

and if anyone is ever wondering, htc phones are (were) incredibly unfriendly for even something as simple as a battery swap

sly elk
#

ha it's like why panasonic's lumix S series offers way more for the $$ than canon/sony do

#

they don't have a pro line to gate keep features on so they don't care

#

yea lol

golden stream
#

Ngl 12G vram 3060 is kinda cheapo

sly elk
#

that is probably the best deal

golden stream
#

Weak? Kinda, but that's still a lotta vram

sly elk
#

remember, the 60/60ti/70/70ti is basically the same card

golden stream
#

Ya best card value at my place rn

#

I persuaded my pal to get a 3060 12G one before it ran out of stock due to mining

#

Gigabyte tho playdead

sly elk
#

when the gpu market was overheated, 60s and 60tis were pretty dang hard to get

#

same with 80s

golden stream
#

It's out of stock in my place

sly elk
#

80tis were much easier to get because they were way more expensive

golden stream
#

Even the 1xxx in stock be some miracle

sly elk
#

it's even the tiny wheelbase model

golden stream
#

Get rekt haha

sly elk
#

fairfield/suisun had some of these back in the day, lol same layout with the sideways seats, 1 normal bench, then the back door

golden stream
#

That's tiny bruh

sly elk
#

idk why they even put a back door

#

oo this one's cool

#

3060 is decently weaker

sly elk
#

ahhh!

#

in that case, 3060ti is the best xD

#

if they made one with lots of memory anyway 😉

sharp star
sly elk
#

lol

#

well yea, how is twitter gonna monetize someone directly accessing tweets? 😄

deep sapphire
#

AMD is such a meme

#

the implemented shit they put in the game just runs off the CPU

real edge
#

The devs I think are more at fault here

#

There have been many triple A releases this year with a garbage PC port

#

Its an ongoing thing

deep sapphire
#

and most of them use FSR

#

coincidence?

#

I should've just bought a PS5

#

saved myself thousands of dollars

real edge
#

I just chalk it up to lazy devs or crunch or dumb deadlines with little, underpaid QC.

#

standard triple A shit

deep sapphire
#

yeah didnt EA brag how this game was made in record time

#

maybe use that "record time" to polish the fuckin game

real edge
#

ye lmao

deep sapphire
#

it runs like shit on consoles too

dull garnet
real edge
#

If a 4090 struggles with 60fps I cannot imagine on consoles.

deep sapphire
#

40 percent GPU utilization

#

thats so inexcusable

dull garnet
#

i am currently waiting to see if anything materialises with this external drive patent/rumour

#

ff7 remake 2 is my biting point, so i can delay until then

deep sapphire
#

FSR looks like shit too

#

I had it on when I played earlier

#

so many parts of the surface like drains and grates that are super jaggy

dull garnet
#

well yeah

#

dlss is the same

#

one resolution step down isn't so bad but if you go further it really starts to show

deep sapphire
#

yeah but nvidia also has DLAA

#

which improves the image quality

dull garnet
#

those brilliant bastards

deep sapphire
#

I blame unreal engine

#

half these games coming out that run like shit

#

use UE

#

it pampers the devs

#

get rich quick scheme

#

learn to script on unreal engine

#

claim you are a GAMER

#

bam, 100K a year

sly elk
#

unreal's shittyness was probably a response to htat

deep sapphire
wraith agate
#

So I decided to compare more prices to my local retailer vs amazon.de

#

surprisingly my local retailer wins out on the CPU!
Intel i5 13600K:
on Amazon.de: 356 EUR
My retailer: 354 EUR

#

oh btw @real edge or @cerulean talon, what's the difference between the 13600K and the 13600KF?

real edge
#

the KF is just an overclocked version of the K

wraith agate
#

hmm does it worth it? because it is cheaper by 40 EUR

sly elk
#

meh lol, when i built my pc, b&h had some things cheaper than amazon

real edge
#

its not worth the price hike

wraith agate
#

what does LGA1700 mean lmao? isn't that the chipset of the CPU?

real edge
#

it is the chipset yes

wraith agate
#

I wonder tho

#

KF has the same amount of cores

#

right?

real edge
#

yes

#

exact same CPU as the K, just overclocked and slightly better binned

wraith agate
#

now that's interesting

#

up there it says 5.1GHz

#

but down there 3.5

#

now which is the right one?

real edge
#

5.1 is the overclocked speed

#

turbo speed or whatever

deep sapphire
wraith agate
#

ah so this only lists the base speed?

real edge
#

3.5 is the base speed without overclock

deep sapphire
#

the KF disabled the IGP

#

and its like 20-30 bucks cheaper

#

really not worth it

#

just get the regular K

wraith agate
#

hmm

deep sapphire
#

you never know when your GPU might shit the fan

#

and now you have no working PC because you dont have an IGP

#

saved my ass when my 1070 blew up thanks EVGA

wraith agate
#

That's

#

fair

real edge
#

my GPU is 7yrs old and still runs fine

deep sapphire
#

I'll take the added insurance for 30 bucks

wraith agate
#

HMM

deep sapphire
real edge
#

ahh yeah

wraith agate
#

saving cost vs safety

real edge
#

why did I remember the KF being overclocked and better binned? surely that must have come from somewhere

wraith agate
#

I do prefer safety and that 40 EUR doesn't really affect my budget

real edge
#

OHHHHH

deep sapphire
#

and thats only on the XX900 sku

wraith agate
#

I guess I just stick to the K

wraith agate
#

I'll be honest, I'm having a preemptive headache already

#

I might need to find an alternative cooler

wraith agate
#

well

#

worried the cooler I picked a week ago might not fit

sly elk
#

@deep sapphire which mobo did you choose anyway?

wraith agate
#

given I don't even have a case tbh

sly elk
#

....

#

are you the dude that keeps trying to fit a 240mm into a case that was only spec'd for a 120mm?

deep sapphire
#

I dunno some ASUS prime board

#

it was a combo kit

sly elk
#

oh asus

wraith agate
#

also am not a dude

#

anyway this message bothers me

sly elk
#

i would've probably been able to guess that if i read your name but in this case, I assure you I wasn't making any assumption about how you identify

wraith agate
#

and yet the site's issue is this

#

why the compatibility issue?

#

oh nvmd

sly elk
#

yea the microcenter $549 bundle...

wraith agate
#

oh also

sly elk
#

it sounds great when the cpu itself is like $400 on amazon 😐

wraith agate
#

Amazon seems to be out of DDR4 boards, so I probably have to pick DDR5

sly elk
#

but dangit that board looks boring

wraith agate
#

umm

#

I'm actually thinking about getting a case that doesn't have glass side

real edge
wraith agate
#

alright

real edge
#

or if budget is a concern

#

5600MHz

wraith agate
#

I think I should be able to get 6000MHz ones, it all depends on when I have the money and get to actually buy the components

#

oh btw, does amazon have free shipping above a certain limit?

real edge
#

to germany

#

but not europe

#

well

#

amazon italy has free shipping to italy and all of that

#

but I am not sure if amazon hungary exists

sly elk
#

why is asoose so cheap with the m.2 slots

#

buncha z790 boards with 5 m.2

#

the prime only has 3, the tuf only has 4 haha

wraith agate
real edge
#

they did ship to me too as well in greece

wraith agate
#

so far amazon.de seems miles cheaper than my local retailer, especially on GPU prices

#

I am tempted to buy a new sharkoon case because they look good but considering my current case is a sharkoon and literally after only 4 years the top case fan just broke for no reason

wraith agate
#

hmm... if I can get this specific motherboard I picked, then I think I might try to get 4 SATA3 SSDs, the 1 TB version

#

and 1 M.2 or NVME SSD

deep sapphire
#

amy

#

Good lord, I just realized I've so much data that needs to be saved

I think before I format my current PC, I'll just do a sharing

Backing up data always gets me haha

I always find something I forgot

Or later I nuke my computer and realize I forgot to save something from it

Tbh my cloud folder still doesn’t have all of my holiday pics in it

wraith agate
#

I'm thinking about turning my mom's old PC into a storage server

#

Unfortunately worried the components in it might be too old for such task

#

Then again I don't need it to do much, just store stuffs

sly elk
#

idk if it'll still be $99 in 3 weeks, maybe 😄

#

also someone said this one goes to $150 on sale a lot

#

man it's fucked up how hardly any z790 boards have post code screens

#

i remember how for a brief moment, some mobos had OLED screens that showed post code status

#

$609 for a z790 maximus hero!?

#

that's more thant he stupid cpu ;_;

#

admittedly, it comes with the hyper m.2 card they used to sell for like $150 separately

#

ah I see, i think the board itslef has 3 slots and they use the m.2 card to get 2 more

tl;dw:

  • Board partners are cranking more voltage into the CPUs than necessary
  • CPUs are desoldering themselves as a result
  • This is primarily on Asus, but other board partners and AMD themselves are at fault
  • EXPO does not affect VSOC

let us not forget the antics from back in the days when people did comparisons where they'd take the heatsink off an intel chip and it'd still run (very slowly) but they'd take the heatsink off an AMD chip and it'd catch on fire

#

for example

#

it's probably not easy to find a working pentium 4 system because they were all sold during the height of capacitor plague

And they were doing so well with Zen

Mind you, I've used android, and run it for easily a decade+ at this point, I'm tired of a number of things, I don't like apple more, but apple is the choice I have where I can walk in and change out a phone.

#

If I'm not working, I'm happier to deal with these types of issues, if I miss a P0 alert because my dialer failed /silently/, which has happened, it's not worth dealing with.

You yeet it and go, moving to AOSP and having it happen again tells me there's something going on I don't want to deal with, so yeet the entire thing and go on.

Oh right

better CPU coolers and fans will only make the heat transfer itself more efficient lol

Yeah the only thing I can suggest is getting better ventilation in your room

sly elk

if anything, a better cpu cooler and fans will warm your room up more because it'll give your cpu more headroom to not thermal throttle

practically speaking, a 13700k alone produces 200W+ of heat at full blast

what kinda gpu do you have? 😄

750W for a 13700k and a 6950xt is.. optimistic tbh

given that the i7 likes to draw over 200w and that the card spikes up to 500+w

you can probably power limit it in andrenalin if it causes issues

but I sometimes forget the stupid spike issues of 30 series nvidia gpus and 60 series amd gpus

you could but it would kinda defeat the point of buying a high performing card

#

does it scale poorly with power limits?

lost python

its limiting its performance

id just save up and get a better PSU instead

usually with a 4090 for example you can get 95% of the performance if you power limit it to sth like 80%
