[modest moss]

sounds like a skill issue

[cerulean talon]

Not wrong, I should have just got an AMD which works stably.

Tbh, there's a suspicion around the house that I'm secretly a chaos monkey, and I look at things, and they just go chaotic.

[sly elk]

i want a motherboard that can boot arbitrary ISO files

if VMs can do it, why can't uefi lol

[cerulean talon]

Tbh, I just keep a key with Ventoy around at all times.

Then I can arbitarily boot iso's on UEFI and BIOS.

Because I get to be extra lazy.

[sly elk]

that's a thing?

[cerulean talon]

Yes.

https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

It even gives you a cert for securebooting that's unique to your stick.

😄

[sly elk]

that's awesome.

[cerulean talon]

Yeh.

[sly elk]

ya know it reminds me a lot of the menu ubuntu and others use when you boot a usb stick..

[cerulean talon]

It is, because it is.

😛

[sly elk]

well shit

I LOVE THIS

[cerulean talon]

bows.

[sly elk]

thank you

[cerulean talon]

We keep a synced iso folder on the network, then copy the entire thing into the iso partiton regularly on these things.

Makes it super easy.

But yeah, it's essentially a massive grub hack.

Of course, you can use folder structures, etc.

The VTOYEFI partition is a bootloadable partition w/ secureboot keys, etc.

Then the ventoy partition you just dump shit into.

[sly elk]

When all else fails lol

weird that it thinks its battery is full but it wouldn't start until i plugged it in lol

Does anyone have a recommendation on a 96% keyboard pcb?

[sly elk]

[deep sapphire]

hey shue

dont you love it when

you just turn your PC on

and play some games

and then go to bed

[sly elk]

Installing windows updates

oh noes that windows update broke your computer

i think my two favorite things about going from asus to msi for the motherboard so far

[cerulean talon]

Everything is thermonuclear?

[sly elk]

are 1. the dragon on the boot screens, 2. the white 7 segment post code screen instead of a red one (I know hahahaha)

[modest moss]

@potent arrow might have ideas

[sly elk]

i think the tool-less m.2 installation is cool as heck too

it's too bad only the first m.2 slot does that

[modest moss]

Yes I think I'll do that in a bit, stress free

[deep sapphire]

yeah not having to worry about if my PC will do this or that

I just install the drivers

and play some games!

[cerulean talon]

I love the fact my tyan board has this. So nice.

[modest moss]

I must admit it was really weird having to disable ecores for stranger of paradise to run smooth though

[cerulean talon]

That doesn't surprise me with some of the random ecore bs that happens.

😄

[sly elk]

it'd be sweet if all the slots did it!

[cerulean talon]

My tyan does. :3

[sly elk]

I didn't even realize it was a thing until I was reading the manual and was like wait what? sweet!

[cerulean talon]

Tbh, I like the ecores, but they feel weird at times, like if I notice an app gets shoved onto it, it's annoying.

[sly elk]

lol now that I have windows installed i'm going to have to get out the screwdriver to add my other ssds

or at least.. one of them anyway

ahh are you running a 5950x?

i .. admit I was thinking about a 5950x3d

[cerulean talon]

Nah, I'm on a 12900k.

[modest moss]

It was weird af, game was stuttering as if I was way underpowered and then after disabling them it was buttery smooth

[cerulean talon]

My NAS is on a 5950x.

.>

Because it needs that much power.

[sly elk]

LOL

AHHAHAHAHA OH MAN

you know how asus got shit on hard for the whole armory crate thing

i plugged in the network cable after installing windows 11 and immediately a window for installing msi software popped up asking if i wanted it

well, at least they don't auto install it like asus does

[celest violet]

Honestly the hardest thing about replacing keyboard and mouse is finding a mouse I like. I am a fool that likes an mmo mouse with all the buttons on the side

[sly elk]

maybe i should install it though :3

that does limit your options

but I can't blame you!

[celest violet]

Which means I'm stuck with corsair or Logitech 😭

They're just so nice, it makes hotbars so much more convenient

[sly elk]

[buoyant falcon]

I'm not sure what's going on, but I pushed something on my Bluetooth keyboard while playing FFXIV that caused my middle monitor to black out. Now it's staying blacked out, as if it's not even connected unless I disconnect my right-most monitor, then it will start working again until the second I plug it in again.

I've already tried a reboot, I'm not sure what could possibly be causing this.

[sly elk]

try windows+p

it could be that you accidentally selected second screen only

why don't they make 'change the start menu color' take you to the relevant setting in the settings app instead of opening a microsoft.com support page

lmao I like how fast the cpu temp display updates on the motherboard

i shook a window around and it went from 50 to 60 while i was shaking the window >>

i gotta say, CPUs are pretty durable because they really can change temps that fast lol

can go from 45 to 60 in like 2 seconds

[copper monolith]

Yes for the light only

[sly elk]

those look like $20 speakers and at $20 they all kinda sound the same anyway

[copper monolith]

Yeah i dont like super loud noise anyway

[sly elk]

it's not a matter of how loud it goes

[copper monolith]

As long as its rgb its good

[sly elk]

there are speakers that sound awful anyway, idk about those

usually those are like, $10 bluetooth speakers or something

like something that sounds worse than a cellphone speaker playing music at full blast

I went to look for the review video. They sound okay

[deep sapphire]

oh god

ahhh

car wiring harnesses are shit.

on the plus side, I think tech is starting to get to a point where newer cars have less wiring... in a way..

but they gotta knock it off with the fragile wiring and connectors that fall apart if you look at them wrong

there's a 'vinfast' store in the mall and I laugh at it every time i walk by

i haven't quite advanced to pointing at the store and loudly laughing yet

I am worried about ars' integrity now

Don't be surprised if you read other takes on the VF8 that come to starkly different conclusions. Several colleagues returned from the morning's drive aghast, replete with tales of handling defects, wonky panel gaps, and strange software bugs. Others, like Ars, had better luck with a car that's almost all the way there but missing that last little bit of polish. That's not meant as a criticism; the same is true for all the recent EV startups—Rivian, Lucid, and yes, even Tesla.

jalopnik and another car site I go to basically panned these as pieces of junk

ars "well it has some problems but so do all the others"

vinfast rather egregiously tried to 'impress' (bribe) reporters with a free paid trip and stuff hahaha

why is ars so happy about it?

[sly elk]

hmm so some hours of playing with the new build later

that g-skill neo ram's rgb is kinda disappointing after the bright and cheery corsair vengeance rgb 😄

I'm still trying to understand my fan curve... oh

hmmm

i need to decide if a liquid temp of 50c is acceptable

because corsair's default is to max the fans at 100% @ 40c

that's obnoxiously loud

[sly elk]

these are fun 😄

[sly elk]

.. ok that's the 2nd time all of my usb died for no reason....

I saw an article from Jalopnik about it last year and it didn't sound good

The whole media tour the guy got felt very North Korea lol

Handlers for them and not supposed to go off the rails of the ride-like

[sly elk]

yea that whole thing. That whole thing sounds like the writers from Ars might have liked that tour a little too much.

[odd sand]

At the same time, it sounded about onpar for new entrants to the US market from overseas

Kia and Hyundai were both poor quality for at least a decade after entering the US market

[sly elk]

hmm lol at the 4 stick DDR5 kits that cost $364 when you can easily buy 2 2-stick kits for $250-290 that has even better specs

like I get that running 2x2 might give you slightly less optimal timings than a 4x kit but... if you're running 4 sticks anyway? lol

the shitty DDR5 IMCs that intel and AMD are making right now are going to be more of a problem than the ram sticks are

mmm

i'm thinking of sending back the perfectly good g-skill neo because the aesthetic haha

The Century is such a cool car, but I get why they’re only sold in Japan. -9 people would buy one in the U.S.
man idk, I think they could potentially be pretty popular

I mean, they kinda look like a rolls royce, but more gangsta

something I take for granted living in LA:

I don't see that new one that often, but I see the first gen all the time still

[dull garnet]

looks like a mondeo

[sly elk]

the first gen has an exceptionally ugly rear end

idk why but it looks better in pictures

but, yep.. they do have those out here, and hydrogen pumps at some gas stations, not many though

https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/zero-emission-vehicle-and-infrastructure-statistics/hydrogen-refueling

iirc when the 2nd gen came out, they had a '2 years of free fuel' promo

holy cow

so the msrp is $52,200 but they give you 0% financing and a $17000 rebate

and free fuel for 6 years

[celest violet]

thinking about this ymdk 96 kit with these keycaps. and Im thinking akko jelly purple switches

[sly elk]

so it essentially costs $35k minus whatever the fuel would normally cost if you had any other car haha

otoh, the hydrogen drivetrain has an 8 year warranty and I have no idea what it costs to maintain it after that or replace parts

i assume they're prickly af about it because hydrogen

[umbral moss]

it's more that they choose 4x sets to work together

if you're going to the XXXTREME with them two sets of 2 may not work where you want to run them at

[sly elk]

yeaaa

but still

if you buy two sets at a time, ideal situation they were part of the same batch anyway

[umbral moss]

yeah, but you can't control that

[sly elk]

-ponders-

indeed lol

sadly the only way i'd pull that off is driving to microcenter

or maybe best buy if I were willing to buy 5600mhz ram

[umbral moss]

the enslaved subhuman robot happy amazon warehouse employee pickin your order doesn't know what batch each box came from and frankly, doesn't give a shit

you're not getting a hand-curated set of sticks

[sly elk]

right lol

you might still get lucky i guess

i wonder what the odds are

[umbral moss]

the only way to guarantee a set comes from the same batch is to buy the matched set directly from the vendor

it's pretty low

[sly elk]

especially because of the way amazon stocks the warehouses

[umbral moss]

and even within a batch you may end up with one set of sticks from the S tier part of the bin and another that barely made it out the door

[sly elk]

if they got a box of 20 packages, they'd immediately toss them in a bin and throw the box out

so your chances of getting 2 packs from the same box are fairly random

probably not impossible depending on how they do it

[umbral moss]

so your 2x2 set may have 2x 5600 that can run at 6400 at stock voltages, and 2x that run at 5600 with a hard vdimm boost

coworker was telling me today he's planning to try undervolting his 12700k in the summer to see if it'll help temps

then again you've got a water temp of 20c

[inland mauve]

I worry for what the summer will do to my 13700K

[sly elk]

it does kinda matter

water cooling temp dictates the floor of the cpu temp

I think it's lame that corsair doesn't make their faster ram in white

re expo: I still wonder how much of a performance jump there even is

As with manual memory overclocking, AMD expects the sweet spot for EXPO kits to be DDR5-6000. In an example profile provided for a 2 x 16GB G.Skill memory kit, that kit runs at DDR5-6000 CL30, with a VDD voltage of 1.35v. It’s kits like these that AMD expects to provide the best performance, offering rather low memory latencies in conjunction with a more modest increase in memory frequency.

(non-expo speed for 2 dimms is ddr5-5200, for 4 dimms it's ddr5-3600)

and it was a problem way before shit tier led kits (dumb fuckers putting hid look bulbs in and making everyone go blind because lol blue light)

[umbral moss]

it's worse now because those shit LED kits come standard on trucks

hope you enjoy being irradiated with a 15 million candela headlamp

[sly elk]

you mean bi-xenon HID drop ins? 😄

and sylvania silverstars? 😄

[sly elk]

the problem isn't necessarily that the truck comes standard. The problem is that when people install lifts and 'leveling kits' they don't re-aim the headlights

but i say 'isn't necessarily' because it still is a problem

headlights have to point forwards in order to light up the road a certain distance, so even if you aim them correctly, if someone's sitting across the intersection in a far lower vehicle, then the headlights will be aiming right at their eyes >>

I mean, the problem is that even when they are realigned they're still right at eye level for a normal car

[sly elk]

yep!

that is a problem 😦

ford kinda sorta tried to fix that problem at one point with their f150

but they gave up on that because it didn't look cool i guess

[umbral moss]

so you have a wonderful view of a grill and a fucking supernova level amount of light blasting you in the face

standing at ground zero of a nuclear fucking bomb is less intense than truck LEDs

[sly elk]

like they need to put the headlights in the bumper

and/or we need laws limiting how high the headlights can be off the ground (oh this would be very amusing)

but ultimately none of that matters

you could write all the laws you want

[umbral moss]

but how can the driver see them then, when the hood is 6.5 feet off the fucking ground

[sly elk]

lots of cops love lifted pickup trucks

[umbral moss]

good old 10 meter visual dead zone

[sly elk]

so you're not going to get any law enforcement on that

[umbral moss]

cops enforcing laws, good joke

[sly elk]

unfortunately i think ti's one of those stupid things that will only solve itself when they become unfashionable

and as it stands right now, higher is always seen as better

I mean shit, even outside the 'truck bro' crowd

just like a reddit car post of a miata right. yea ok whatever some upvotse

[umbral moss]

nah, because people who buy giant trucks believe that rather than mitigating an accident, the other person should simply die in the event of an accident

so you have an arms race of shitheads buying bigger and heavier trucks

[sly elk]

reddit car post of a miata with offroad tires and a lift kit "omg so awesome!"

[sly elk]

yea the funny part about that is they always end up posting the results of said accidents on the internet

[umbral moss]

a soccer mom riding a ram 3500 dually

[sly elk]

in a "my truck won againt the stupid car"

[umbral moss]

for fucking what

[sly elk]

to be fair

it's usually because they got rear ended

and the sedan that rear ended them, the hood is completely ripped up because it was the only part that actually hit the truck and the rest of the car went underneath

[umbral moss]

that's why heavy trucks have mansfield bars on them

[sly elk]

also lifted, with pink and black wheels

and blacked out headlights for the murdered out look

[umbral moss]

yeah, murder is right

[sly elk]

i like to call them urban assault vehicles

[umbral moss]

since the driver is 5'0 and can't see for 15 meters around the truck

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/nwmsrocks-northwest-motorsport-pacific-northwest-pnw-tacoma-gif-20714053

look how it lays prone in the parking lot

they always remind me of bryan griffin

https://tenor.com/view/griffin-funny-family-guy-brian-gif-14437987

like the front is his nose

then the bed looks like a stupid beaver tail

[umbral moss]

I absolutely goddamn hate these new trucks

they don't even need to be that tall, the engine isn't that large

[sly elk]

i know lol

but they still sell in record numbers

so the people buying them love em, i guess

[umbral moss]

yeah, people love lots of terrible things

[sly elk]

plus I can't really pass judgement when they're all like that

except the ford maverick lol

they've kinda been like that a while too

i remember walking past one in a dodge dealer back in 2008 or so and thinking the hood was almost head-height

Is it safe to use a cable from one PSU with another PSU from the same company and generation?

[modest moss]

ask the company

[sly elk]

that depends on the PSUs

not even the company

for example, corsair has a matrix saying which cables can be used with which PSU's ports

with EVGAs it's a little more vague but still pretty possible to use say, cables from a G3 on a G6

[lime wasp]

The problem is the PSUs are too new

So their info isn't updated

[sly elk]

which ones?

[lime wasp]

I have the RM Shift 1200w from my old build

And I was going to use the SF SFX-L 1000w which just came out in my new SFF build

But the CPU cable is just a touch too short

But they're both the new Type-5 cable so I was hoping

[deep sapphire]

thats so illegal lmao

Anyone have a good VPN recommendation to use? I give up trying to fix this lag/packet loss issue. Constantly at 100+ ping and severe packet loss. Heard that VPNs work for some people.

[modest moss]

I've seen people say they like mudfish, they charge you by usage, and give some test credit I believe

[crude elbow]

I´m not sure if that would solve the lag issues, but it might help you with the packet loss since that is probably an issue coming from your ISP

[hardy lake]

Yeah I haven't played for a week I'm not sure what happened. I would always hold 30-40 ping and now it's 100+ and stubborn.

[modest moss]

most of the people seeing packet loss seem to be having it inside the ntt servers, not directly isp related

[hardy lake]

This is a recent thing?

[cosmic slate]

It's the same San Jose node

I've been trying a bunch of different mudfish servers but I haven't found any that fixes it :/

It's always this specific node that messes up over the past 6 or so years

[modest moss]

#1107080017378283571 message and https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/476569-Constant-packet-loss-since-patch-6.3/page14

[celest violet]

Do you have your own router or the one your isp provides? I had to use a VPN until I got my own modem and router, which fixed the issues

Plus saves you 5 bucks a month on the bill depending on your provider, so pays for itself eventually

[hardy lake]

ATT provides the router and you cannot change it out.

[celest violet]

Oh att that kinda explains it oof

I can try and find the vpn I used

[hardy lake]

Honestly ATT been having a lot of issues, been planning for a while to switch off it for a while and buy my own equipment.

[cosmic slate]

It's very explicitly not an ISP thing

It's the same San Jose node, every single time this happens

[celest violet]

When I had issues with the game, vpn then my own equipment worked for me

Besides att is pretty shit

[cosmic slate]

I mean sure absolutely

But it's not their fault for this, it's NTT's

I just can't for the life of me find a route with mudfish around the node

[hardy lake]

Think I'm just gonna have to put up with it for now because I've messed around with mudfish and nordvpn and they aren't doing me much good.

[cosmic slate]

mudfish can work really well

Also $5 basically lasts you forever

[hardy lake]

Didn't realize it was that cheap.

[cosmic slate]

it charges you a data rate and it can be very easily set to only apply to FFXIV

and XIV is extremely data efficient

Intermittent use

[hardy lake]

I actually just got it to work

Seem to be back to my usual ping and no more packet loss

imagine being conditioned to accept a bottom of the line card priced at five hundred fucking dollars as "fair"

you are paying a quarter of a mortgage payment for a card that is slower than a $500 card from 2016

[sly elk]

that is serious bullshit 😦 I thought they would be faster than 3060tis and so on

man I remember when the 1060 was $200

it was usually more like $350-400 but there was a brief moment

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/my-sweet-summer-child-sweet-summer-child-game-of-thrones-gif-19977020

did you not recall the absolute dumpster fire of the 4080 being $1000 and worse than the much cheaper 3080 it was supposed to replace?

[sly elk]

i w as under the impression that every 40 series card so far was worse than the 30 series it replaced on paper, but still performed better ?

is that not the case?

(sorry I haven't really given 2 shits since I wasn't in the market to buy one lol)

sadness

my airpods case fell off my table and one of them went flying

can't find it 😦

[umbral moss]

the only 40 series card that is a genuine upgrade is the 4090

because that's the only card that nvidia actually intended to make lmao

the 4080 and lower are just increasingly crippled 4090s that failed in some way

that's why the 4070 has such a criminally low memory bandwidth, they just lopped off a defective memory controller and called it a 4070

[sly elk]

aye. I expected this to be the worst with the 30 series

because of the demand

I expect that to maximize profits, they sold anything they could as a 3090

so there are probably 3080tis that perform better than 3090s and so on

[umbral moss]

yeah, the other problem is that they overproduced on the 30 series because they got taken in by the crypto bust boom

so now they can't make new cards that are demonstrably better than the inventory they already have

but they gotta make money on the more expensive dies they made

especially because loading a crappy computer up with cutrate rgb components is how you rip people off

[modest moss]

uninstall discord

[sly elk]

i never installed discord in the first place!

[hard drift]

no

[sly elk]

hmm my take on vengeance vs dominator: I think the vengeance rgb strips look a lot nicer, but the dominator modules look nicer

[modest moss]

no seriously if you need to test if it's being a bitch just uninstall it and use the web client for a bit

[hard drift]

discord was one of the issues, so was my web browser and video games

so far i've had none of the issues on either of the things

[sly elk]

i am a little concerned if the new vengeance modules have metal heatspreaders or they're just plastic heat insulators

[modest moss]

uninstall your amd components

[hard drift]

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/throw-out-rage-parks-and-rec-nick-offerman-ron-swanson-gif-17688925

[hard drift]

i'll chuck them out the window

[modest moss]

@sly elk get 2 sticks vengeance and 2 sticks dominator, ez

[sly elk]

HAHA

[hard drift]

just for you and @deep sapphire

[sly elk]

I like that idea

i really do

[hard drift]

i just want to play wow

[deep sapphire]

AMD

[hard drift]

this gpu runs it like shit and if i play at quality setting 1 it runs well but it looks awful

[modest moss]

Hank send him your old 1060

[hard drift]

NOOOO

PLEASE NO

THAT FUCKING CARD IS CURSED NEVER GIVE ME IT

[deep sapphire]

I had a 1070 and it runs perfectly fine

[hard drift]

that was what made me go amd in the first place lmfao

[sly elk]

i already have the 4 sticks vengeance

they just arrived.

[hard drift]

my gtx 1060 would boot up a game and fucking crash every damn time

it was so ass

[modest moss]

they probably look better than the dominator

[sly elk]

i had an asus strix 1070 and it felt like every other month i'd have to roll back my driver because geforce experience would install a new GAME READY driver that fucked everything up

[hard drift]

lmao

[modest moss]

don't install geforce experience, obviously

[sly elk]

it was yet another asus product that made me wonder why the fuck people pay so much for asus hardware

[modest moss]

install just the driver and forget it

[sly elk]

like

[hard drift]

idk, we gotta ask ice

[modest moss]

geforce experience is an fps loss

[sly elk]

I have _ no idea_ why someone would pay $600 for a maximus z790 hero

the $400-ish boards do the exact same thing

so do the $200 ones they just don't look as cool

[modest moss]

idk but my $200 z690 asus board has been immaculate for the last 10 months

[sly elk]

the thing i like about the $200 asus board

[modest moss]

oh no I only have 3 m.2 slots, and no rgb

[sly elk]

is there's not much for armoury crate or whatever they call their friggin management software to screw up anymore

also no Q-CODE(TM) SCREEN

but it has the q-led thingy right

[modest moss]

I do wish I'd spent a tiny bit extra and got bluetooth and wifi built in but it's nbd

[sly elk]

ice did make a big fuss and switch to an msi board

https://tenor.com/view/nope-mm-hmm-gif-22422888

[hard drift]

lol

[sly elk]

annd i'm with him on this

i wanna use all my m.2 slots

[deep sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg2PD-dwsIw

when bidori disables hardware acceleration

[hard drift]

[sly elk]

wait i thought my board had five m.2s

it only has 4?!

[stark mulch]

So packet loss issue still at large?

will be sad to see world first be in trouble because of it.

[odd sand]

This is why you just install the driver without geforce experience, bc the only experience it provides is shame

[torpid kayak]

for some reason, i can't tell my xbox controller's remaining battery life. I use bluetooth 🤔

it always display 100% battery

[sly elk]

with that card i'd be chilling playing a game and the game would randomly explode

never had that issue with my 5700xt 😄

Can it run crysis though

[deep sapphire]

lmao my fan speeds are like tweaking out

revs up, then down, then up, then down

[sly elk]

adjust your fan curve?

[deep sapphire]

about to right now

just thought it was funny

[sly elk]

yeehaw, good luck

[deep sapphire]

was like

this thing gonna explode?

[sly elk]

i hate it when that happens lol, like when your curve is stepped instead of a smooth line and then it's hovering at a temp that goes between 2 different fan speeds

vereerVROOMverrrererreVROOOMverrrerere

like driving an old car thst sucks at idling

[deep sapphire]

That EGR valve will settle down eventually

oh its my fuckin GPU

it has an auto on off fan mode

thats really obnoxious

[sly elk]

oh 😄

then you can change the gpu fan curve! 😄

[deep sapphire]

haha yeah

I might have to use PNY's software to fuck with that feature

[sly elk]

much better :3

man my phone camera is such a potato lol

[deep sapphire]

fancy

alright much better

god that was annoying

I'd rather deal with a loud GPU fan as long as its consistent

I have a headset on anyway

[sly elk]

there, much better

i should try seeing if I can do ddr6000 on 4 sticks

[austere socket]

alright, time to install windows 11 on my laptop

it's been weird seeing it at work all year and only vaguely knowing how to use it

[sly elk]

i'm getting used to doing this >>

[austere socket]

nice display you've got there

[deep sapphire]

KEK!!!!

[sly elk]

i thought hank would enjoy the "I have to update my dang AMD motherboard again"

also of note, i did the 'buy 2 sets of 2 from amazon' thing. The serial numbers were off by like 30 lol

[astral ridge]

i'm not even 100% sure what you are referring to exactly (sorry) but Amazon co-mingles almost all products between their own purchases and third party sellers.

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

yea i was curious how far off they'd be

[astral ridge]

30 is really good tbh

[sly elk]

so one thing I hated on my asus board was the way the ram slots only had levers on 1 side

i forgot about that when I was shopping this time. SO I was thrilled to discover my new board has levers on both sides.

time to try EXPO

wanna take bets if windows comes back up?

I.. probably won't bother using expo long term though if I do decide to stick with a memory oc

i think it's better to just figure out manual settings then suffer a long ass boot time

yea it didn't work 😄

-tries manual OC in bios-

in bios it doesn't let me impose a Vsoc limit >>

but i am running the very latest update so I suppose the AMD imposed limit is in there

guess I either have a crap board or a crap memory controller because it didn't like that, either. GG.

I always laugh at the exaggerations grand tour/top gear made out of everything

i'm impressed that camper held that much water lmao

[potent arrow]

Top gear was mint

[sly elk]

top gear had its flaws

the #1 flaw was the like 10 minute segment where they interviewed some boring celebrity i'd never heard of and then had them drive a normal boring UK car around the track

like there's nothing exciting to me about some random soccer player driving a Kia C'Dee around that track

hmm

maybe i should send back my 7800x3d and ask for another to see if I get a better memory controller

[torpid kayak]

that part is low gear 😄

[potent arrow]

Bottom gear

[inland mauve]

the problem wasn't that he was an asshole on-camera, the problem was that he was also an asshole off-camera 😔

[umbral moss]

most car shows are garbo because the excitement is either in the tech specs (which most people don't care about) or in actually driving the goddamn car

ain't nobody care about your life story about how you decided to buy this car and restomod it

how much power does it put out, what did you do to the engine, how fast is it

[cerulean talon]

If only the nucleon had made it to production, cars would be amazing.

😦

[paper tusk]

sounds about right

the one car I have interest in (to replace my twerk van) isn't even available in north america (peugeot e-rifter)

[cerulean talon]

If the nucleon had made it to production, the US wouldn't have a car problem. >.>

It was a fission-powered concept during the nuclear golden years.
