I have the non-RGB one and you can flip it over

potent arrow
#

It should be able to use the same two that'll be slotted on your card

#

You might not be able to use the thrid but two is fine

real edge
#

I tried to combine that with the arctic fans that I want, so that I do not pay 7 shipping for an 8 euro thing

#

but the case fans do not exist over there it seems like

potent arrow
#

See that's smart

real edge
potent arrow
#

I paid 80$ shipping for a 20$ gunpla kit before

real edge
#

i looked up those fans in amazon but they seem to either be more expensive or do not exist

#

even the gpu that I want is more expensive on amazon than locally

potent arrow
#

Amazon tax

#

It's the same here lol

real edge
#

yes but im in greece, we're supposed to have terrible prices

potent arrow
#

I never use Amazon for a reason, always direct from partner or bust

#

I wonder if I have a warehouse I can order you these from

#

Uno momento let's see if my rep is awake

#

Greece? Who knows

#

Never tried. So let's see what his reaction is

real edge
#

but instead, this gen we have competitive GPU prices when compared to the rest of the EU

#

the previous gens we did not

#

seems fans got cheaper as well

#

but some niche parts have a tiny, expensive selection

#

seems like gpu holders are part of that niche

potent arrow
#

What the fuck did Greece do to Newegg lmao

real edge
#

idk lmao

potent arrow
#

They are currently on exclusively excluded from even shipping there

#

No dice

inland mauve
#

the economy in Greece is recovering isn't it

potent arrow
#

He ain't biting lmfao

inland mauve
#

although I believe that salaries are still lagging behind

real edge
#

problem with an outside person getting me it is import taxes and stuff

#

and shipping

#

you may be excused from taxes if you put it as a gift cause its just 8 bucks

#

but shipping costs still exist

#

sadly

inland mauve
#

do you have import taxes even if you ship from another EU country?

real edge
#

ofc not

#

but shipping costs are still there

#

I remember years ago

#

when I had a friend get me a mouse from the US to here

#

no import taxes (somehow)

#

but shipping was like

#

15$

#

it was still far cheaper than getting it here

#

like

#

50$ cost overall with shipping from us to here

#

and here it was 80$

#

what he did saved me quite a bit

potent arrow
#

I'll add Greece to the list of weird deadzones for tech along side sea

real edge
#

we're weird with tech

#

some things are unusually competitive and cheap

#

while other things do not even exist

#

or are stupidly expensive

#

this generation at least

#

like for example

#

the gigabyte aorus master 4090 here costs like

#

1790 euro? after taxes and everything

#

in the US its more expensive than that

#

I don't get it

potent arrow
real edge
#

but

#

good luck getting a 4090 with your 800euro average wage xd

#

cause that is what the average wage here is

#

altho the 4090s that I am eyeing are the gigabyte aorus master and the MSI suprim X, both of which go up and down in price like its the daily stock market

#

cause I want my gpu to be there and last for 6+ years

#

and my GPU will not last that long if it has the cheapest cooler, vram cooling and cheapest pcb known to man

#

unless the 4090s are all overbuilt to shit

#

so even the barebones minimal shit will be more than enough for that long

#

that is the stupid shit with buying a new gpu now, IDK jack shit about longevity

#

some people are saying just buy the cheapest 4090 because they are all overbuilt, others are saying the cheapest pcb and cooling is not enough, others are saying getting the more expensive 4090 models is a big waste, so who the hell really knows

#

if I could guarantee that the manli card would last for 6 years or longer I would have bought it already

#

but I can only look at the pricier models to make sure they last that long, or have a higher chance to, which comes at a premium that I am not willing to pay

potent arrow
#

0_0

#

I'm really weird

#

I am like a huge power user but my GPU can be anything really and it'll last 3-4 years

#

My hardware cycle is 3-4 years, 5 at most

#

3060ti is still hanging on for dear life and honestly not really been an issue

#

My 3900x is the biggest bottleneck

real edge
#

my 1070 is a gigabyte card

#

that I have had for 6 years

#

and it works perfectly fine

#

but idk if what I buy will also last me for that long 😛

#

I always hesitate thinking like, what if it breaks in 2 years

potent arrow
#

6 years is a lot for my field, it'll get destroyed by me or the software im forced to use

#

It's still a bit too early to comment on cards, but rn the GPUs with the best track record from my own annectodal evidence has been the 4080 and 4090 series for NVDIA

#

Ived had no RMAs beyond one power plug issue

#

Across the board

#

AMD cards have had a higher rate of issues in the recent years

#

If I had to say what PC part in all that have been a huge issue? SSDs

#

NVME, 2.5 all of them

#

Fucking hell last two years have been rough

#

I think my invincible long lasting build would be a 5800x3D, 4080/90, 32gb Trident z 4400/3600mhz, and w/e NVME drive I do not have a vendetta against

#

Throw a bequiet air-cooler on it, a vision motherboard if available, ram it into a lian-li

#

Probably be fine for 5-6 years

real edge
#

based on your experience

#

have the better built cards lasted for longer?

#

like

#

some cheap manli 3060ti vs some MSI suprim x or higher than average built one

#

previously

#

my experience has been this card only

#

which was considered one of the better models back then

#

or have you only had cards of one build quality?

potent arrow
#

Ok so, heres the thing. I have absolutely fucking removed MSI from a 50km radius from myself lmfao. But what I've noticed is that it's entirely up to fin density and how chunky it is. Just because if they are building it more robust and dissipating more heat it just extends the life longer and they are more likely then not to be using good thermal pads and paste

#

Some of the cheaper cards do some really dumb shit like ending the heat fins before the end of the card and it misses things

#

Basically you want to see how well built the thermal solution is and it can give you a general idea on how the card will be

real edge
#

the better cooled cards

potent arrow
#

Mhhm

real edge
#

are the aorus master, the gigabyte gaming OC, the suprim X, the strix

potent arrow
#

Yes

#

The big bois

real edge
#

the aorus master has the best thermals out of all air cooled cards

inland mauve
#

I have the gigabyte and it definitely sounds like it cools hard

potent arrow
#

I know aorus master and surprise and gigashitter use good paste and thermal lads

inland mauve
potent arrow
#

Just from teardown

#

Put it this way, if it's shit thermal paste, it'll dry up year two and your card needs to be taken apart or you'll lose perf

inland mauve
#

but my 1080Ti was an ASUS and the cheapest model that I could find at the time, and it has never once had a single issue

potent arrow
#

Cuz asus

real edge
#

derbauer OCd it to 1.1v and 133% power limit and the card only got 62c

potent arrow
#

Probably the same stuff used across the whole floor

inland mauve
#

hasn't ASUS gone downhill rapidly in the past year or so?

potent arrow
#

It's a bit overblown in my eyes

#

I've had issues with their motherboards

#

GPUs not so much

inland mauve
#

everything is so sensationalized nowadays that I have trouble telling what is a genuine trend and what is just a fluke that got hyped up

potent arrow
#

Warranty is dicey but build quality is ok

real edge
potent arrow
#

This is all anecdotal of course

real edge
#

this is the cheapest gigabyte card I can find

inland mauve
real edge
#

its the non-oc version of the gaming oc

potent arrow
#

That card is absolutely fine, never had issues with those

real edge
#

my current card is a gigabyte gaming oc

potent arrow
#

It's very common here

inland mauve
#

it's just kind of loud imo

potent arrow
#

Yeah

#

Cheap cards are like all out or nothing lmfao

#

You should hear my 3060ti absolutely silent

#

Cuz no fans 😎

real edge
#

this is the pcb

potent arrow
#

When it comes to electronic parts, I mostly don't care

#

It's basically all standardized minus cheating out on a few things on cheaper cards

#

MSI is the mega outlier tho -_-

#

Don't get me started.

real edge
#

what about the gigabyte pcb cracking thing?

#

is it overblown?

potent arrow
#

Well, I havnt had an issue

#

And that card you linked I've definitely sold more then a handful so uh

#

I'll argue like it's definitely a concern....but I don't know too much to comment

#

Like from what I understand it's because they cut out too much PCB making it weaker

#

But like how much are you really twisting the card out of the slot

#

Full disclaimer, I'm kinda still working with Asus for all of my cards lol

real edge
#

asus and gigabyte

#

are very common in greece

#

but we also get some asian brands like palit and manli and inno3d

potent arrow
#

If I were you, fully biased, spend good money on Asus gpu

#

I would get the fattest chunkiest one for peace of mind lmfao

real edge
#

the tuf gaming oc one is the one that costs the least out of the asus cards

potent arrow
#

Gigabyte vision cards are also soooo good for around the same price of a wallet demolisher asus

real edge
#

costs the same as the gigabyte gaming oc

#

but 80euro more than non-oc

potent arrow
#

I like tuf and rog

#

Both really good products from Asus

real edge
#

but the aorus master is only like 20 euro more than the tuf

potent arrow
#

Mmmm any is a good choice tbh

#

TUF is actually good, if you look it up most people like em

real edge
#

only complaint I saw about the asus tuf was coil whine rather than anything else

potent arrow
#

Yep

#

Actually I think the gigashite comes with the sag bracket Iinked

#

At least maybe the oc version

real edge
#

every gpu comes with an anti-sag bracket

#

compatibility is a whole another deal with those

potent arrow
#

Can you find a gigabyte vision card over there? That one I would rec if you want long lasting

#

It's gonna cost you a lot tho

real edge
#

only 3060s

potent arrow
#

Mmmm

#

Oh right it might also be called aero now

real edge
potent arrow
#

I only stock 2 because they are pricey

real edge
#

its one of the cheaper gigabyte cards

potent arrow
#

Oh

real edge
#

here

potent arrow
#

What the fuck LMFAO

real edge
#

the aero oc

potent arrow
#

Get thag

#

Fuck

#

Why is that so cheap

real edge
#

idk

potent arrow
#

Ah it's about 100$ more then here

#

It it being cheaper is weird

#

I..I would get the aero over a master any day......

real edge
#

I cannot find reviews online about the aero OC, weird

#

or any pcb pictures

potent arrow
#

Weird

#

Man reminds me i need to actually start planning out a PC build for myself

#

I was give a 1300ks to play with

#

But not sure if I can itx it

inland mauve
#

building PCs is so much fun 😩

potent arrow
#

.....not really

#

I guess doing it for work ruins it

real edge
#

my pc works so well all the time for so long that I do not even know how to build one cause I never get the chance to replace parts

potent arrow
#

7950 or this 19-1300ks in an itx case

#

....mm

real edge
#

I have not changed my windows ssd

potent arrow
#

Hnggg

real edge
#

over half a decade

potent arrow
#

I want Samsung drawn and quartered.

#

That firmware shit was devasting

#

And I'm still going around updating client firmware.

real edge
#

I still have my HDD from my first ever PC I bought 15-16 years ago as a kid

#

it still works

potent arrow
#

Couldn't be me

#

Ooooooo I get a sample of the new deep cool assassin this week

#

Eyes that's actually hype

#

I just noticed it in my tracker

real edge
#

the few reviews that do exist on newegg and bestbuy say the aero OC is great

potent arrow
#

It has my endorsement

#

Like I'm 90% confidence in it

real edge
#

I guess size will not be an issue with my case

#

doesn't seem like it

image.png
#

at first glance

#

but good luck finding a person with this gpu and case combo

potent arrow
#

I doubht it'll be an issue

#

I have the case so I can check later

#

I'm just sitting in my garage drinking a beer rn, don't wanna go to the shed.

real edge
#

there is someone that exists that has this weird corsair case?

#

wat

potent arrow
#

Yes it's not uncommon lol

#

I have much weirder cases in stock

#

See thermal take garbage and cougar shit I've never been able to sell

real edge
#

if you do check, tell me if there is enough space between the card and the glass panel for a cable, it should be enough(no need to get any actual cables)

#

cablemod told me themselves that it should have enough space when I asked them

proven oyster
#

Lil ponder cus i haveno clue of GPUs anymore

#

Compared to a RTX 3050
How is
A GTX 1650?

real edge
#

its

#

cute

#

that is what I will say

proven oyster
#

Then different question

#

As of

#

RIGHT NOW

#

What would you consider to be a strong... Entry Gaming GPU?

#

...Or i guess the best i can say is

real edge
#

hm

proven oyster
#

The best value, for a full graphics FFXIV

#

like

#

1080, 60

#

Full settings

real edge
#

I would say a 1650 is a bit too weak

#

but

#

ffxiv can run on a toaster

proven oyster
#

I am on the toaster and i want out

real edge
#

what would your budget be?

proven oyster
#

But no i am just, trying to figure things out.
i finally got an EXPERT (My Mexican Mom who actually understands Amazon ;D)
And so results that i am extra f+cked when it comes to things

#

Because basically, all those sales and promos of Amazon?

#

All of that is in US
and I can't get ANY of that

#

And instead ihave to buy it through the Mexican Amazon... Which has an ADDITIONAL Tax to ship the darn thing ;w ;

#

So im just

#

gonna instead ask for contextual info

real edge
#

yeah but what is your budget

proven oyster
#

...800 bucks?

#

Like

#

For a whole thing

real edge
#

so that I can recommend you something

#

all of the pc?

proven oyster
#

Or all of the laptop, yea

#

I was tempted to buy an Acer Nitro 5

real edge
#

do you have a monitor?

proven oyster
#

I do yes

real edge
#

ok

dreamy chasm
real edge
#

or this

dreamy chasm
#

Oh, amazon mexico

dreamy chasm
proven oyster
#

Ya

#

Goes to find that on Mexican Amazon

real edge
#

are we living in some post apocalyptic crypto era?

image.png
proven oyster
#

it scary to see

real edge
#

are those actual dollars

proven oyster
#

All pesos

real edge
#

well either way

#

a 6600 around 200bucks is good

dreamy chasm
#

I'd probably have to know how much the actual tax/shipping costs are

proven oyster
#

Im a bit bummed cus i still wanted a laptop

real edge
#

or a 7600 if you can find one for 200$

#

those gpus are entry level

#

6600/7600

#

imo

dreamy chasm
#

Any reason to need a laptop specifically?

proven oyster
#

They both are comfort notes
one is like... Bed gaming ;D

real edge
#

those GPU are radeon/amd cards specifically

proven oyster
#

But the other is more just an actual boon

#

I live somehow in a neighborhood that, easily TWICE a Month

#

in Average

#

Electricity just pops for like...a minute or two

#

And i have absolutely like, zero awareness of UPS's

#

So... kinda why the laptop felt tempting, cus internal battery.
So like, integrated UPS

dreamy chasm
#

You can get a UPS but, they're added cost

proven oyster
#

Which is why the laptop had the temptation since it was like

#

All in one

#

I do appreciate the GPU offer, I would need to hum more into the thought of customs

#

And wonder if i am emotionally ready for a 3rd time possible stress inducing build

real edge
#

thankfully

#

cpus and boards are cheap nowdays

#

cheap options exist rather

proven oyster
#

I don't really have the option to just, willy nilly spend like that ;w ;

real edge
#

you wanted just a gpu, not a whole pc?

proven oyster
#

No i do want a whole change, which is also why the laptop there

dreamy chasm
#

It'll probably be pretty hard to find a decent laptop within your price range

#

I'd have to check what the pricing is on a full build

real edge
#

yeah

#

at that price range laptops will be crap sadly

proven oyster
#

I do know i found a RTX 3050 with that price range

#

For like

#

in a laptop

#

Unless you tell me 3050 is also bad

real edge
#

probably better build something like a 5600x with a b550 board and ram with an entry level gpu rather than a laptop

Double checks

ah wait so results i was on the 900 range of budget total

#

Anyways

dreamy chasm
#

Stuff kinda just

#

costs more there

proven oyster
#

Shipping costs

real edge
#

will the shipping costs be terrible if you get it all from one place?

#

rather than split?

proven oyster

...I unno enough of Amazon for that

This is the Laptop i seen, that has like

#

What feeeels the best budget overall?

#

Anything else at THIS exact price range, ends up having just
GTX 1650's

#

Heck, even PRICIER with 1650's

real edge
#

desktop = price to performance
laptop = pricey but portability

proven oyster
#

I dont mind the loss of performance honestly

real edge
#

the 3050 is very shit

#

its not worth it at all

proven oyster
#

Quantify it

#

I honestly have like, zero perspective on GPU quality. orz

#

I have no GPU

#

Like
Lets put that forward right now
I have non

#

So i have no point of reference

real edge
#

uhh

#

imagine having a gun

#

but instead of shooting bullets

#

it shoots peanuts

proven oyster
#

So am i playing FFXIV on a speck of dust? ;D

real edge
#

there are far better things

#

to spend 200$ on

#

than a 3050

dreamy chasm
#

Specced out a build for under 10 000 MXN

image.png image.png
#

Probably the bare minimum I'd go

real edge
#

I'd honestly just get a 6600 instead of an rx 580 but that looks good to me

dreamy chasm
#

It's twice the cost

#

And I'm not sure how much the shipping and taxes will add

proven oyster
#

The fun part when every part of here costs 1 to 2 weeks of wage net gains

#

(I actually have 15k on savings, but just darkly amusing myself)

real edge
dreamy chasm
#

A budget system is fine as long as you know what to expect out of it

dreamy chasm
#

It won't really matter if all they plan on playing is older stuff

#

It depends

proven oyster
#

FFXIV is my most intensive game

#

i dun even play 1080, itend to play 720

dreamy chasm
#

RX 580 should be fine for that

real edge
#

ye

#

if its that low

proven oyster
#

I shall definitely log that into mind

dreamy chasm
#

Actually, I could maybe cut the build cost down a bit more

real edge
#

maybe

#

hm

#

a 5700xt?

proven oyster
#

And sit and decide if i wanna feel like a weakling again

#

Whom takes

dreamy chasm
#

Do you already have a monitor?

proven oyster
#

20 minutes
To put a stick of ram

#

I am not joking, it took me that long for a single RAM stick. orz

#

I do have a monitor

dreamy chasm
#

Gotcha

real edge
#

even that old thing is too expensive

proven oyster
#

I do technically have

#

The storage

#

my current 250 ish SSD and 500 ish SSD

#

which is more 222 and 465

#

They the... blocks

#

Not sticks

dreamy chasm
#

Could migrate that over to save costs, but I'd recommend at least reinstalling windows

proven oyster
#

What if i dont know how to install Windows

dreamy chasm
#

It's not too difficult if you look up a guide

proven oyster
#

Dont you have to buy it?

sail the seven seas

I'd lke not to blindly do it

aka pirate it

Okay i dont trust anything there

#

You can get an official ISO off the windows site, and just refuse to put in a license, I'm pretty sure

real edge
#

^

dreamy chasm
#

And there are ways to get rid of the annoying issues that come with running an install that doesn't have a license tied to it

proven oyster
#

Mmh

#

I'll
Consider. Not really comfy with it

real edge
#

I've had the same windows installation since I swapped from windows XP to 7

#

no issues so far

dreamy chasm
#

hm

#

do you know if a 10100f with a 6600 might be a good option?

#

@real edge

real edge
#

why not just go with a 5600x at that point

#

it should be very cheap

#

5600x is like 140$ here

dreamy chasm
#

Literally twice the price

#

on MXN

real edge
#

I wouldn't recommend a quad core in 2023

#

when building new

dreamy chasm
#

Budget's really tight for them, and import fees aren't always stated on items on the site lol

#

Just considering what options they realistically have rn

#

Is 15k mxn your budget @proven oyster

proven oyster
#

It's my max budget yeah

dreamy chasm
#

Gotcha

#

I have some stuff to do but, I can look into your options later when I have some free time

proven oyster
#

Far as I know though

#

Like

#

Considering Specifically Amazon México

#

Import cost is already included.
I think

#

And free shipping past that with prime or so

#

So things are... comparatively pricy there

#

I gotta figure things out more

real edge
#

the cpu and gpu are the most important parts of a system that you are gonna use for games

modest moss
#

Mlem are you likely to have more money in the future to add to the build?

#

You could consider a 5600g build and add a gpu later

real edge
#

she can build a 5600x/6600 system with 15k mexican dollars I am pretty sure

#

I think

modest moss
#

I'm just thinking 5600g runs xiv OK and then add a better gpu later

real edge
#

it can run it decently well yeah

modest moss
#

All depends whether they can afford future upgrades

real edge
#

the cheapest 6600 I can find is like 3800

golden stream
#

Actually also need some tweak like almost no mods (duh)

#

But also, need to limit a lot

#

Can expect like wat 30fps lock, can be 25-30fps but can dip to 15fps if intense

#

Playable ofc

modest moss
#

Is that at 1080p

dreamy chasm
#

They can afford a dedicated gpu

#

@proven oyster

image.png image.png
#

Not really much point in pushing for anything more expensive if you're just playing on 720p

#

And you should have room to buy a UPS within the budget

modern iris
#

what currency is that?

dreamy chasm
#

mexican peso

modern iris
#

I see thought you were being charged some limmited edition dollars or something

dreamy chasm
#

ok.

modest moss
real edge
#

4000 dollars for a 6600 sounds like crypto went full apocalypse on gpus but its just mexican pesos

dreamy chasm
#

that setup can run ff14 very well

I can see why they were attracted to a laptop though if they only have a 720p monitor

that build will perform much better though

The reason why they wanted a laptop was because of power interruptions but

They should be able to afford a UPS

Why does Firefox on my iPhone sign me out whenever I open the browser? Started the other day. I didn’t change any privacy settings. tatarucry

Weird question to ask this seems like the right channel. Is anyone familiar with any discord bots or a way to flag someone's UID if they're kicked from a server and rejoin?
I only ask for a larger server I'm in sometimes we kick for inappropriate names/pfp and theres a lot of in and out flow to actually keep track of one person without scrolling through tons of names if they rejoined or not.

Ideally I'm looking for something you flag the UID and it just warns to a channel (much like dyno with word alerts) if they've joined again.

Thanks! Feel free to ping reply me I have DMs off.

# cerulean talon What's wrong anyway?

Whenever I close firefox on my iphone 13 pro max (if that matters), everything, and I mean EVERYTHING gets logged out. When I relaunch the browser, I have to sign into everything again. Started a few days ago, I presume when it updated to 115. Prior to this, everything stayed logged in, even with the browser closed (which it always is to preserve battery power; it's only open when i'm using it).

I didn't change a single setting. I didn't even realize there was an update... until this happened.

in theory trucks come from the factory sitting high in the rear, so that when you load them to capacity they don't sag

#

but these guys are like "I hate that raked look" so they buy a leveling kit

#

but it makes the front look too high

#

anyway they sell like hotcakes

The spindle grills got out of control

The reason for the angry Lexus is because they were “cars for old people” forever

#

And largely they still are
