[potent arrow]

yeah..its not ideal

I will personally silastic the shit out of my board so that vibration wont knock the connector out lmao

[real edge]

I have a weird inverted case too :x

well I got one of the best cables and I will not have to deal with adapters

if I have to deal with burned shit at this point ill curse up a storm

[wraith agate]

I want to

but

I don't like white

I can get these tho

[cerulean talon]

They hadn’t, it’s fixed now

[dull garnet]

PST is basically the same

you can run them all off of one header, though

[wraith agate]

I see

question

should I instead replace the cooling for the CPU from a Deepcool AK500 to some AIO?

[dull garnet]

i mean, a bad case does nobody any favours

the ak500 is a decent cooler unless your cpu is an inferno

[wraith agate]

I plan on getting an i7-13700k

along with an RTX4090

[real edge]

you do not need liquid cooling for that cpu

[inland mauve]

I have a NH-D15 to cool that one

I believe you don't even need to go that far even

[wraith agate]

I see

well

I can afford the Deepcool AK500 but if you can get something cheaper, I gladly take it

[potent arrow]

Ak500 is baseline, at least for me

It works for pretty much everything

[real edge]

the only question about the deepcool coolers is if the company will support them

they're not noctua for example

so we do not know how many mounting kits they will make to support the coolers

[wraith agate]

is noctua good?

[potent arrow]

Noctuas is the best.

Atleast for their coolers

[wraith agate]

hmm

[potent arrow]

Idk about fans

But they support mounting options till the end of time

Also lol unifans competitor just showed up
https://youtu.be/fGyFspK4u0Q

[real edge]

deepcool so far has supported the latest platforms but we do not know for future ones as deepcool from what I know has always been an underdog brand and these deepcool coolers kinda brought them to the spotlight

[potent arrow]

I got a few of their LT720 AIO coolers and they are pretty decent

Probably using those over Corsair's Aio from here on out

[real edge]

so far they have made free mounting kits for existing customers for LGA1700 and AM5

but IDK how far they will take the freebies into the future

[dull garnet]

noctua also cost double the competition

[minor hollow]

I use a uh

Mugen scythe fuma?

Pretty solid cooler since my cpu is only slightly OCed

My case is decked out in noctuas though lol

I have like 7 of the 140mm noctuas

[wraith agate]

I'm gonna get the 5 pack 140mm fans I posted earlier

seems good enough but

how am I supposed to configure them?

I bet the top ones need to push and the front ones to pull?

[dull garnet]

don't bother with top fans

as for non PWM, i'm not sure. might be able to control via voltage on modern motherboards

[hard drift]

Top as exhaust

[wraith agate]

ah okay, so just buy the two 140mm fans for the front? or... was it 3?

[dull garnet]

depends on your case :p

[wraith agate]

NZXT H7 Flow

[dull garnet]

I use two 140mm in, one 120mm out

[wraith agate]

tho ngl, I kinda want to put on top fans

[dull garnet]

go ahead

i just feel its pointless but sometimes you don't need a good reason to do something

[wraith agate]

well tbh my reasoning is if I have to buy 3 front fans, then I'm gonna spend 30 EUR, that's 9 EUR less than the 5 pack

though I think the front is probably only 2

[dull garnet]

`FAN SUPPORT

Front:3 x 120mm / 3 x 140mm

Top:3 x 120mm / 2 x 140mm

Rear:1 x 120mm / 1 x 140mm`

big if true

140mm exhaust fan is a nice touch

and triple 140mm

[wraith agate]

if I saw it right, the rear fan is already there

[dull garnet]

yeah but that will be trash

[wraith agate]

so I guess I should just buy the 5 pack and place the two extra on top

oh?

[cerulean talon]

Fans that come with cases tend to be the cheapest garbage possible.

Just enough to start grinding as they wear out their bearings in a month.

[wraith agate]

makes sense

so I should replace that with a good fan, of a 120mm or a 140?

I think I should replace it with a 140 one

[dull garnet]

bigger is always better for fans

less rotations for the same cfm

before you do buy those I would wait for someone to confirm that non PWM fans can be motherboard controlled

[wraith agate]

but

the fans I'm buying are PWM?

or at least I want PWM fans

[umbral moss]

just hard wire them to the +12V and connect the rpm reference header to the board so you can keep track of them

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dull garnet]

if you mean these, then they are not PWM they are just the F14

[wraith agate]

aaaah

well

do I need PWM?

I kinda like having the option to have a software control the speed

[dull garnet]

honestly not sure with modern motherboards

for example i can choose the voltage i want fans to run at in my uefi

amongst other settings

[wraith agate]

I kinda want the fans to be reactive

aka when the PC is idling don't run the fans at max speed

[dull garnet]

yeah, mine are tied to cpu temp

i use fan control

[wraith agate]

yeah but what I mean is... to do this, I need PWM fans

[cerulean talon]

Generally, yes.

[wraith agate]

hmm

I guess I bite the bullet and get these?

only 3 tho

[dull garnet]

no other options for 🇭🇺?

[sly elk]

those are probably fine

be quiet is a pretty reputable brand

[wraith agate]

not ones that deliver here

[burnt sequoia]

is anyone else having a problem with the ping and lagging?

[lime wasp]

My PC might be fucked

CPU temps went from normal to idling at 89* from one day to the next

Repasting and a completing new AIO haven't done anything.

[sly elk]

not using an a.. oh

which cpu is it?

[lime wasp]

13700K

[sly elk]

those just run hot to begin with, what kinda aio are you using?

i mean it's possible one went bad and the other is defective. OR the pump isn't spinning

if you check the tubes going into the waterblock

is one very hot and one cold?

[lime wasp]

No

[sly elk]

and the pump's spinning?

any change in fan curves?

what's the water temp like?

[lime wasp]

can't tell

[sly elk]

hmm

[lime wasp]

motherboard is saying N/A for everything

[sly elk]

even in the bios?

[lime wasp]

Yes

[sly elk]

GG. That alone sounds sus AF

if your AIO has the pump in the cpu waterblock (they usually do) can you feel anything if you put your hand on it?

I mean

it's probably pumping .. otherwise there would probably be obvious temp differences in the tubes and/or it would overheat very fast idk

[potent arrow]

Is the USB connection on the Aio connected?

People miss that and it shows as N/A

Also check if you forgot to remove the film under the cooler
Proper paste application
see if your CPU is bowed

Couple of things

[lime wasp]

Okay so on a lark I just tossed the Y-Splitter that I was using

Pump came back on and kicked into IMMEDIATE overdrive

Now BIOS says 37* at idle after a few minuted of this

[potent arrow]

You put the Aio on a y-splitter?

0_0

[lime wasp]

13 Fans
1 Pump

Some RGB strips

Need 2 Fan Controllers and 1 RGB Controller

3 USB ports needed, only have 2

Hence, Y Splitter

[potent arrow]

:/

[wraith agate]

Do I need a fan controller if I want to control my fans via software?

[lime wasp]

Depends on the fans

[hard drift]

we got someone competing to take icehunters place

[lime wasp]

Fan Controllers are normally used for Fans that can't Daisy-Chain, or for Fans that have proprietary connectors like Corsair

Blessed kupo

[wraith agate]

Y'know despite the fact I have a degree in computer building, I literally know nothing

This is stressful

[cerulean talon]

?

[wraith agate]

I can't tell if I also need a fan controller or not

[cerulean talon]

Depends on the number of fans generally

[wraith agate]

I am thinking if I should go for 5 fans or just the necessary amount, in other words 3

[cerulean talon]

Most motherboards will support 2-4 chassis fans, then 1 cpu fan

I’d check your expected mobo manual and see how many fan headers they specifying

[wraith agate]

This case has 1 rear fan, 2 front and 3 top

[cerulean talon]

The exception is speciality run fans usually

[wraith agate]

Hmm

[cerulean talon]

Sigh, rgb, not run

[wraith agate]

Let's see it

[cerulean talon]

But yeah, I’d just check your mobo and see what it supports

run fans

you can also buy fan hubs or fan splitters

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Case-Fan-Hub-Distributor/dp/B0887VG14J something like this, for example

[wraith agate]

Fucking Amazon

[sly elk]

that's a bummer 😦

also you might be in for a little adventure if you're using a 13th gen chip on a z690. Should be ok though.

man it seems like i picked a good time to buy my motherboard lol, the price on it went up $30 since

[cerulean talon]

[sly elk]

yep yep

[cerulean talon]

6 chassis fans so you’re fine

mm the good news with msi boards is they're.. usually the same across the range lol

that's a neat looking board >>

[cerulean talon]

No idea, but the memes on their twitter might make me reconsider buying em in the future

[sly elk]

also the page is exactly the same lol

i never paid attention to how many my x670e carbon supports

[cerulean talon]

Excellent

[sly elk]

believe it or not

I have one less fan connector

https://tenor.com/view/dirty-bastards-shake-head-smh-gif-17592045

[cerulean talon]

Cheap bastards, saving on one moles

[sly elk]

ah, but to be fair, the z790s are like that as well. It seems MSI decided for the newest boards to cheap out and cheat us out of 1 precious fan connector

[wraith agate]

Exactly the same

[sly elk]

yea lol

the difference between models is real small

[cerulean talon]

I don’t use any chassis fans, so no idea

[wraith agate]

I like chassis fans

But not doing anything RGB anymore

[sly elk]

also they have the same dragon logo for the boot logo :3

it looks sick :3

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, I avoid rgb as much as I can, and I’m in and out of my machines often enough there’s no reason to even leave sides on em

[sly elk]

[wraith agate]

This PC, I'm building. It's a workstation not a pageant show contestant

meanwhile I'm sitting here like

[wraith agate]

I like those cables

Very nice blue

[sly elk]

ah thanks :3 I do like those cables

as you can see I really like rgb though hahahahaha

[cerulean talon]

I finally took one machine off the rack, immediately slapped a laptop in its place and ran a half dozen cables to it :S

[sly elk]

and this is the price I pay for that X_X

[cerulean talon]

I hadn’t noticed those controllers first, hahah

[sly elk]

oh lemme warn ya one bad thing about MSI boards

oh wait

THAT ONE DOES IT NORMALLY WTF

GOOD!

[cerulean talon]

?

[sly elk]

my x670e carbon has this stupid battery on a pigtail

[cerulean talon]

Oh

[wraith agate]

Well... tbf, my current board is MSI too... I can't really complain

[sly elk]

but that z690 board uses a regular cr2032 mount

[cerulean talon]

You can always complain, it’s the nature of anyone who works with tech

[sly elk]

I came to this realization after I put the motherboard in my case and the cpu in the motherboard lmao

oh well, it's fine

[wraith agate]

Well yes technically I can that the software that's supposed to manage the mobo lights doesn't fucking work after using sleep mode

[sly elk]

at least it's not permanently soldered on like those 90s boards

[cerulean talon]

Let the rage flow, it’s the nature of tech :p

[sly elk]

I have never installed that software lmao

[deep sapphire]

You can literally just use electrical tape on the leads

[sly elk]

I am perfectly content with the little dragon cycling colors

[wraith agate]

I uninstalled after I saw it doesn't work

[sly elk]

and if it makes you feel any better

the software asus uses for their motherboards is fucking shit

[wraith agate]

I bet

[cerulean talon]

Tbh, none of them are good

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/miku-angry-anime-gif-21579565

yea they're fucking terrible lmao

[wraith agate]

The only good board is the one you build yourself

[sly elk]

I say this and then I say, I find icue pretty ok, so I'm happy with all my corsair gear. But it does have bad tendencies too.

like I use it to make hardware profiles and then save it to hardware and then I exit icue and disable its auto-startup thing

because on x670e it causes the usb chain to restart every 2 hours or so

[cerulean talon]

If I could get the pinouts and some Altium, it might be a fun project

[sly elk]

and at some point, z390 had the same fucking issue

[cerulean talon]

Could fix things I find lacking in standard mobos

[sly elk]

idk what wicked bs corsair is doing

[wraith agate]

I know people like to shit on MSI, I personally never had a problem

[sly elk]

@cerulean talon the problem is that motherboards are (as far as I can tell) pretty low profit margin

[wraith agate]

Then again my standards are low

[sly elk]

aside from the whale models

[cerulean talon]

I have problems with literally every manufacturer, even their high end models

[sly elk]

and they are only profitable for like, a year max

[cerulean talon]

And yeah, I’d agree

[sly elk]

and I can't even.. IDK how to put this

[wraith agate]

I think once I saw a mobo that was going for like $1700

[sly elk]

but i paid extra for that carbon model and have no regrets >>

I would never suggest anyone do the same when the tomahawk model is just as good

but it had things I wanted

[wraith agate]

My current is an MSI Z490?

[paper tusk]

[cerulean talon]

I’ve gotten a few 800-900s and they’re not much better than the normal models

[wraith agate]

It's carbon for sure

[sly elk]

yea those $1700 ones are silly

[cerulean talon]

They’re good for over clocking but that’s about it

[sly elk]

for the most part once you get past the $500 boards there isn't a point

[cerulean talon]

Mmhmm

[wraith agate]

This torpedo looks good

the only point is "I want to do a custom loop and this has a monoblock" or "I want to OC the shit out of my cpu"

[green dune]

i got this ipad im trying to factory reset

and i connected it to my pc with itunes

but every time i try to factory reset it i keep getting error 3169

[cerulean talon]

Eh, at some point you end up doing it with socks on and on carpet and not caring about good policies

[green dune]

i tried disabling my firewall like how the fixes online said but nothing helped

i dont wanna give up on this ipad cus it was expensive

also i think the battery might be broken cus it dies instantly when not charging

[cerulean talon]

Apple should be able to reset it for you at a store tbh

[green dune]

will it cost me?

[sly elk]

you can try downloading the firmware and then installing it manually

also when you did a factory reset

[cerulean talon]

Probally, but if the battery is shot they should be able to help you as well, that will cost to replace tho for sure unless it’s got AppleCare, which it probably doesn’t

[sly elk]

did you do the 'DFU' variety

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212787

[wraith agate]

Oh it's not that

It's just

This is a lot of mental undertaking

I don't wanna shaft myself

[cerulean talon]

Ah

[wraith agate]

I don't want to overspend nor get trash

[green dune]

i dont have a mac

[sly elk]

the funny thing with the current gen stuff is there's a lot of good options

[cerulean talon]

This is the easy bit, the annoying bit comes later when something doesn’t work perfectly, and you’re tearing out (in my case) your non-existent hair

It’s gotten way harder to seriously screw a build up imo in terms of parts as qvl has gotten way better

[green dune]

This is the screen it’s on

[sly elk]

the board you were looking at is most likely going to be pretty good. The only caveat again is putting a 13th gen intel chip on a z690 probably means you need to do a firmware update first.

so I'd recommend looking up people's experience with that

[cerulean talon]

Why exactly are you factorying this thing anyway?

[wraith agate]

Should I look for a newer model?

[green dune]

Cus it doesn’t turn on

[wraith agate]

Perhaps it might be cheaper

[sly elk]

also you don't need a mac to do that

[green dune]

It’s stuck on the apple logo and it keeps resetting

[sly elk]

you can check what the z790 tomahawk costs...

idk 🙂

out here, z690s are usually cheaper

[wraith agate]

Shockingly newer stuff seems cheaper

[cerulean talon]

A reset likely won’t fix that, but yeah, you should be able to use any iTunes, if it’s got an error though, we’re not much Apple experts

[sly elk]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-600-series-boards-for-raptor-lake

oh that is surprising

but that's good!

[cerulean talon]

Not super surprising, older models tend to only have higher end boards available, then some super cheap option

[wraith agate]

Seems to be same?

[sly elk]

also, the z690 torpedo is on the list of boards that have bios flashback

[cerulean talon]

And that’s only for a gen or two

Bios flashback is ❤️

[wraith agate]

What is bios flashback

[sly elk]

i bet it comes with a usb stick too lol

bios flashback lets you update the bios without a cpu attached

which you'll need to do before you stick a 13th gen on a z690

[wraith agate]

Aaah

Unless I buy a 790?

[cerulean talon]

Emergency recovery mode for flashing the bios, and more importantly, rolling it back versions of you need to

[sly elk]

right lol

[cerulean talon]

Most 690s will probally support 13gen at this point

[sly elk]

the 790s you're looking at there are cheaper models but

[cerulean talon]

It’s been long enough stocks probally rotates

[wraith agate]

Oh this looks good

Cheaper too

[cerulean talon]

Need to understand why it’s cheaper tbh

[deep sapphire]

That’s the board I have

[wraith agate]

Probably discount?

[cerulean talon]

Could be power phases or something useless for your use case, which makes it a good option

[sly elk]

they are different product lines

for msi, carbon > edge > tomahawk/torpedo > pro

for asus, maximus > strix > tuf > prime

[wraith agate]

I can't tell

[sly elk]

there are higher models than those

[wraith agate]

This model

It's pretty damn good

[sly elk]

so the more expensive boards add things like more usb, faster ethernet, sometimes better VRMs, sometimes better sound chips, sometimes other amenities

if you have 2 boards in mind we can probably pretty easily tell you if one's a much better one than another

but again, none of these are bad boards

the prime and tuf are probably asus' most popular boards

[wraith agate]

So between this last board I posted and the torpedo

Which comes out better?

[sly elk]

the z790-p prime will be easier to get going out of the box since it has 13th gen intel support out-of-the-box

[wraith agate]

It seems like the prime has less fan slots?

Anyone at PC?

Trying to find mobo manuals on phone is pain

[sly elk]

So 4 usable for chassis

[wraith agate]

Hmm

[cerulean talon]

Air pump headers can sometimes but they used to get whiny at low rpm’s

Ffs Apple, you choose the weirdest things to correct

[sly elk]

the msi board has the pre-attached i/o shield if that matters 😄 it also has different i/o connectivity in general

for example

the asus board has a ps/2 plug for oldschool keyboards/mice if you're into that.... the msi does not

[wraith agate]

Well I'm not really

[sly elk]

they both have the same amount of usb ports

[wraith agate]

I ponder wonder tho

[sly elk]

the msi has better audio connectivity but this may not matter much lol

[wraith agate]

Legacy can't be bad

[sly elk]

oh right

[wraith agate]

Well I uhh, have terrible hearing

[sly elk]

you might have better luck with DDR5 on z790

[wraith agate]

Yeah that seems like a winner

What MHz I should aim for on the RAM again?

[cerulean talon]

Whatever’s on the qvl

[wraith agate]

I found a good corsair kit of 2x32gb but it was 5400mhz iirc

[cerulean talon]

Going away from the qvl means you will be playing far more dangerous games

[sly elk]

-shrug- it's intel 😄 so it won't have much of an impact

(I say this while i'm sitting here running my 4x16 at 3600mhz on a ryzen chip )

[cerulean talon]

Within the qvl, size, then speed as high as you can get usually

Mines off qvl and I lost 2200mhz or so for it xD

[sly elk]

sadly the QVL doesn't have a notes section so it doesn't always tell the whole story x_X

like mine's on qvl and isn't stable at the expo speed

[cerulean talon]

6k to 3800-4k on a good day

[wraith agate]

I guess 5400 should be good enough

[sly elk]

so in an ideal world

6000mhz is good...

I doubt anyone can really tell the difference

[cerulean talon]

6ghz is high even for ddr5

[wraith agate]

Hold on let me find that item again

[sly elk]

FWIW

[wraith agate]

Good lord I should start saving items in wishlist

[cerulean talon]

I mean, I can, but only when I’m doing stupid stuff :p

[sly elk]

the 13700k supports DDR5-5600

let's look at the QVL 😄

[cerulean talon]

Usually databases are where I see that speed bump helping

[wraith agate]

This is the one I picked

Ignore the temporarily out of stock

[sly elk]

https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-z790-p/helpdesk_qvl_memory/?model2Name=PRIME-Z790-P

[wraith agate]

It's temporary

Hopefully

[sly elk]

amykah look for the model # in the description

[wraith agate]

Model number?

[cerulean talon]

On the ram

[sly elk]

i'm guessing it is ‎CMK64GX5M2B5200C40

[wraith agate]

In the RAM?

[sly elk]

so that board supports 3 kinds of corsair 2x32gb

CMT64GX5M2X5600C40 and CMT64GX5M2B5600C40 and CMT64GX5M2B5200C40

[wraith agate]

This doesn't seem right

[sly elk]

how weird

[cerulean talon]

What’s wrong with a 5.2ghz cell ram chip :3

[sly elk]

amykah look in that section

[sly elk]

there we go

[wraith agate]

This the model number

[sly elk]

the annoying part about the qualified vendor list thing is that in this case

asus is giving me model numbers that start with CMT, which is corsair's dominator ram

but CMK (vengeance, non-rgb) and CMH (vengeance, rgb) are fine

i'd love to say they're the same thing but -shrug- who knows really

what other options do you have for 2x32gb, amykah?

[cerulean talon]

It comes down to the die classification and the manuf

[wraith agate]

Let's see

[sly elk]

yes, and the 5200mhz is micron ram

at least according to the asus list

[wraith agate]

Crucial

[sly elk]

in reality it might not be but it probably is

[wraith agate]

Kingston

[sly elk]

from what I've seen with corsair, low 5000s is micron, mid 5000s is samsung, anything 6000+ is sk hynix

[wraith agate]

Oh g.skill trident

It has 6000

[sly elk]

g-skill is good

[wraith agate]

It doesn't say 6000 what tho

[sly elk]

crucial is great but I don't think they sell anything fancy anymore 😦

what model # is it?

can get more info ^^

[wraith agate]

My problem is this thing costs nearly €100 more and I really can't afford that

I need to keep some wiggle room for in case they run out of GPUs

Well

The one MSI gpu that costs 1700EUR

Leaving me with the 1800 one

[sly elk]

try looking for 2x32gb ddr5-5600 specifically?

if you wanna save money on ram

I have a suggestion

there are "D4" models of a lot of motherboards

[wraith agate]

I know

[sly elk]

ah ok lol

[wraith agate]

But I wanna get a DDR5

[sly elk]

just saying, ddr4 ram out here is a lot cheaper >>

fair

[wraith agate]

I'm trying to partly futureproof

[cerulean talon]

Amazon de right?

[wraith agate]

Hmm... I think I can manage €30 extra

[wraith agate]

Javhol

I might have to use honey to get cheaper

[cerulean talon]

Not a terrible idea, honey occasionally finds a decent deal

[wraith agate]

Yeah but also isn't it a data harvesting thing?

[cerulean talon]

Of course

Affiliate links as well

[wraith agate]

Amazing...

Well

Not like they can't sell my data anyway

Might as well confuse china by buying an expensive PC, 12 cans of monster java and a 20 inch horse dildo lmao

[sly walrus]

depends on how hungary import costs make you

[wraith agate]

None

From Germany to Hungary there's zero import costs

As long as the item is coming from Germany

[cerulean talon]

That’s handy

[odd sand]

https://wccftech.com/china-powerstar-x86-cpus-confirmed-rebadged-intel-10th-gen-comet-lake-chips/

How did they think they would get away with this? Of course ppl were gonna find it strange China suddenly announced their own CPU like 5x faster than any previous one. And if there was a lot of interest, how would they explain when they ran out?

[inland mauve]

hey you gotta do something now ASML can't sell silicon printers to your country anymore

and the last time you tried to reverse-engineer one, it stopped working when you put it back together

I love how this company just cut out the middle man and went straight to reselling full-blown CPUs

[sly elk]

The question is where are they getting them

Or was Intel stupid enough to build a factory there

[real bone]

its not that the problem its the lithographic machines.
Once they reverse engineer those the rest will start flowing 10x faster

[sly elk]

And they got the McDonnell Douglas treatment

https://tenor.com/view/meme-made-creator-stolen-gif-20229431

[inland mauve]

yes but that is the problem

they TRIED to reverse-engineer a lithographic machine from ASML

but when they put it back together, it no longer worked

the technology of ASML is so advanced that you cannot operate or maintain their machines without specialists trained by ASML

like, you have to understand how far ahead of the curve ASML is

you would not be able to catch up to their current level of technology even if you tried to

[real bone]

it did eventually
they don't have access to uv ones yet which is the only thing that keeps this tiny gap of 8years in technology difference

[inland mauve]

you would have to predict which technology that can be used for lithography will be successful five years from now, and start researching that today

so that in five years you might compete with the newest generation of lithography machines made by ASML, because they are not going to stop either

[real bone]

its not a if question its a when.
MIT still has its final trumpcard which is 1mn chips but its not finished yet

[sly elk]

Are you subscribing to that fantasy theory

That eventually they'll surpass us

And the whole world will leave us behind

[real bone]

there is a problem there too
quantity of minds
CN is releasing 4x more scientific papers than the 2nd place so more ppl working on things

[sly elk]

Touché

[real bone]

not yet

[sly elk]

Having a brain here isn't considered fashionable

[inland mauve]

China had to resort to corporate espionage to learn anything from ASML, they had a huge security incident a few years ago where a Chinese spy was employed by them in Veldhoven and managed to exfiltrate important IP

[sly elk]

Like holy fuck some of the viterol on the internet I see about tech layoffs lol

[inland mauve]

but since then ASML has upscaled their cyber security department by like 100 times or so

[inland mauve]

that's because you get tax benefits if you release scientific papers in China, a lot of those papers are bullshit

[sly elk]

But also my experience in college makes me wonder how many of those papers aren't bullshit

[real bone]

because its also cheaper recent papers suggest for each fed anti haxing agent CN has 50 haxers also the same problem again quantity of minds

[sly elk]

But that goes off on a very questionable tangent

But the quantity thing is still a thing

Even if I wrote off half of Chinese scientists as frauds

They would still have more legit scientists

[real bone]

where should be investing more are not

[inland mauve]

I'm not saying that China can't invent their own method of lithography

[sly elk]

Well the problem is

[inland mauve]

I'm saying that if you want to catch up to ASML it's not enough to reverse-engineer their current technology

[sly elk]

When you educate people they tend do get uppity and stop respecting authority

[inland mauve]

you have to figure out what the next big thing is going to be in five years, and start developing that now

and then maybe you can compete with ASML in five years

[sly elk]

At least in a 'western' system

I'm not sure if China has the same problem with educated proles

[real bone]

The original plan was to have AI help out match the quanity of ppl they use however war has caused us to spend more on ammo weapons bases and geopolitics than technology

[sly elk]

So some states try hard to push back on easy cheap access to good education

Still

[inland mauve]

Intel just kind of "lost" the current lithography competition to ASML by betting on the wrong technology

[sly elk]

I think there's some technological power in being educated And being a wise ass lmao

[inland mauve]

they can enter back into the race, but again, to compete with ASML in five years they have to start developing the next big tech for lithography today

and I dunno if Intel is willing to take that risk

[real bone]

none of them lost anything
theyre all building to stay ahead of the competition its part of the 100Bil investment plan with EU
Intel getting its new factory in Madgeburg

[livid dune]

It stares at me

[inland mauve]

since the Netherlands is on good terms with the USA and even listened to their request to forbid ASML from selling machines to China

[real bone]

sell of machines that produce modern chips not all machines

[inland mauve]

they already weren't allowed to sell the latest generation of machines, now they also cannot sell machines from older generations

[real bone]

Japan is actually going harder on them cause it already losing the car race if they lose chips as well theyll go way down in the asian production list

and logistics costs to ship from across the globe are high

but we see how it goes
its a fun soap opera to me

ppl dont get along and in the longrun it only fks up humanity we can keep this dumb competitions only X times before resources run low and extreme weather starts rolling back the effects of pollution

[lost python]

Damn i regret not putting some into AMD

They were at like 65€ when i considered

[real edge]

amd has been a good buy since ryzen 1

even regular people like me knew that they were gonna make a comeback after zen+ launched

[real bone]

you can still buy other things

[real edge]

I meant stock-wise

[real bone]

yea still plenty of other companies

id even consider Micron because even tho they took a blow the microchip market will still go up

[graceful pine]

Though in reality we don’t want to take too much of a bite out of Taiwan’s monopoly in chips

It’s their best defense against mainland aggression

[real bone]

that monopoly will change regardless even if absolutely nothing happens.
All these production facilities from both sides are not built due to increased demand but to the use from ordering from there heck even Taiwan is building its new facilities outside

[umbral moss]

to be fair, I don't think there's much more to be done with photons at this point

the way you handle electron sensing states needs to change for "transistors" to be a thing going forward

yea but for 250 you can get a 6650xt which is better on paper :3

i could see someone looking at the $250 6650xt and then seeing the $315 3060ti and going "fuck it, $65 is worth not dealing with that shit"

also got burned by microcenter

this is going to be for my old rig aka the racing game machine

You mentioned a 3060 ti before, can't go wrong with that

[sly elk]

those are like $350 though

there are some $250-ish 3060s

which, afaict a 6650xt will be a better card...

now whether it holds its value or not is a different story

Hey @real edge The difference between M27Q-P and M27Q seems to be just speakers?

[real edge]

idk I just watch the reviews

[royal forge]

ahh

gotcha

[real edge]

I linked video reviews so you can watch those for the differences

[royal forge]

ahhh

gotcha2

im just eyein up a second monitor now

hahaha

[real edge]

[sly elk]

:3

who uses monitor speakers?

[royal forge]

Me who forgot to bring his old speakers

[modern iris]

so my dad asks me, "How could you possibly spend 4000 on a computer?" cuz other day we were talking about selling my side by side heald hauler.. and i tell him, "the 4090 ti for example.."

nah if i i sold it i would take 2000, upgrade my ram to cl 14 4200 mhz, add a 2 tb nvme, and replace my 6600 xt with like a 3080 or something and a nice monitor

or maybe get like a 6800 xt

[real edge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtpbv8HUrtE

[dull garnet]

you don't want a 6800 xt

[lost python]

Yeah for the same money as a 3080 you could get a 6950xt instead

[dull garnet]

the power draw on all these cards is nuts 💀

[hard drift]

[dull garnet]

i'd like to stay 200w and under

if 4070 memory wasn't gimped then maybe i'd go for that

[hard drift]

that's why intel is getting into the market

[hard drift]

hopefully nvidia will learn by 5000 series

[deep sapphire]

Playing elden ring at 140 FPS maxed out and 4090 only running at 50c

[hard drift]

[lost python]

you can go above 60fps in elden ring?

[deep sapphire]

Yeah there’s a mod

I played around with it for hours last night and found out just turning RT off and camera blur skyrockets the FPS up

Seemed like camera blur did the most lmao really strange

I couldn’t get it to reliably go above 80 before I turned it off and my hardware utilization was poor

[dull garnet]

tfw devs don't code games to utilise my 4090

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-gif-26494931

[odd sand]

More like devs are coding games to only use a 4090 these days at 1080p and still only get 25fps

And not bc they look like Cyberpunk, they look like a 10yo game

i saw a really good deal on the 34" oled screen

oh dang I have the offer too

899 after coupon but then in my amex offers I have $120 cashback if I spend $599 at dell

then there's rakuten cashback.....

that could be a nice deal

[sly elk]

me toooooo

but important note here

it's not made by powercolor, and it has a 3 year warranty

honestly maybe i should've bought the msi model instead

the oldest gpu I have in operation is a gtx660 that was made by msi lol

[hard drift]

but amd i was burned twice 😭 two different brands

[sly elk]

i do have a radeon 9600xt laying around in my old g5

oh really

I thought it was only the powercolor >>

what was the other one?

[hard drift]

And burned by the “holy grail” of tech shops

[hard drift]

Asrock lol

I had to rma a board 3 times with them

[sly elk]

oof

which gpu was it?

[hard drift]

5700xt lol

But my brother has it working just fine now smh

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-teases-a-new-flagship-rog-geforce-rtx-40-graphics-card a super overpriced gpu instead of a just an overpriced one

if anyone wants a single cheap rgb fan, there ya go, $7.99 when you use the $10 coupon

sadly the coupon only works once lol

[royal forge]

Hey @cerulean talon do you know much about stuff like VN software?

Not VM

Visual novel stuff

[cerulean talon]

Some, not a ton.

[royal forge]

Is there software that lets you play images, like a slideshow, as well as loop videos?

Videos with audio

[cerulean talon]

Not that I'm aware of, the cross over tends to be rare, as they are usually one or the other.

[royal forge]

Ah

Thats a bothet

Bother*

Can I do that in like... uh

Unity?

Ya familiar with it?

[cerulean talon]

Not usually? You'll need video codecs, and unity's not great at that.

[sly elk]

I also bought a set of these, in case anyone's wondering how they perform, I'll find out tomorrow i guess XD

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BKK2MBWG

[royal forge]

Ah. Bollocks.. thanks anyway

[cerulean talon]

Ye, you might be able to hack something together w/ python or something using readymade libraries, but there's not much on PC for that in particular. You might find a web-app or something that could do it.

[modest moss]

just be fucking janky and dump images, audio, video into powerpoint

[royal forge]

Aite. Thankies

I was hoping for a more "drag and drop" solution

[modest moss]

you could learn unreal editor and do it

[royal forge]

Hahahaha

Pass.

I've fuckef around with unreal b4

Ptsd

[modest moss]

I mean, how much stuff do you need put together?

@tame fulcrum has played with it, he might help

[paper tusk]

I picked up the black version shortly after I got the monitor (you'll get it before I do) so will have 2 reviews

hopefully works good since I'm not happy with id cooling fans (they should be fine for cpu fan though)

I thought long and hard for a moment about just forking up the $65 or so for a kit of 3 corsair ML120s lol

but I really don't want to spend any more money on that computer

[odd sand]
