Fucking with cryptobros is good, actually

[stark mulch]

I have asus z590-e

I have two drives. One C which works just fine with the OS on it, and my second drive ( this one is the one that has stopped working/disappeared three times in over 1 year and 6 months).

huh interesting

lol

so for future, which brand of MB should I look for so that 2 or 3 drives can work

damn

seems asus done f***ed up

good to know

thank you 😄

next build I will avoid Asus everything

was interesting that the way it fixed itself, was to boot into BIOS and I saw both drives there.

and after a few boot loops, it fixed itself.

but I just updated my BIOS so hopefully it won't happen as much or ever but who knows lol

@tame fulcrum jw, would getting a new nvme fix it? or its just an ASUS problem forever kinda thing?

gotcha. Thank you for sharing that info. Learning something new everyday

nice

[modest moss]

at the same time I've never had an issue with 2x nvme on my asus z690

so it's not as simple as 'asus cant do more than one nvme'

[dull garnet]

rtfm

[deep sapphire]

Yeah my ASUS board works just fine

[dull garnet]

"works on my machine"

[umbral moss]

he's friends with the pseudo-traditionalist weirdo so this isn't exactly a story of scamming scammers

I too would grift a cryptobro because they clearly have no risk assessment skills so any bullshit short-con would work on them

still malding over the fact that my car needs a whole-ass catback exhaust repair

[sly elk]

I think the moral of the story is that 2 behave differently than 3

Plus idk if you two had the same model of board

[umbral moss]

how many nvme do you even need lmao

[sly elk]

4 😄

[umbral moss]

gonna raid 0 these gen 5 nvme drives so I can be futureproofed

[modest moss]

eh this guy has 2 and it's fucking up

[sly elk]

I admittedly bought my x670e board because it has 4 slots

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-sheev-palpatine-unlimited-power-power-force-gif-5073064

[sly elk]

It’s not so much that I want to raid or have 50tb nvme

It’s just how I buy the damn things

1tb now, 2tb later.. ooh hot deal on another 2tb!

[umbral moss]

I do enjoy the fact that you can fit 8TB on the motherboard directly, irrespective of speed

[sly elk]

That sorta thing lol

[umbral moss]

like, it just takes up no room and doesn't fuck your airflow

[sly elk]

Yeah not having to use cables is great

I like in my board the top nvme slot is above the video card s lot

So I don’t have to remove the video card lol

[umbral moss]

I'll probably start amassing gen 4 nvme drives after christmas

since they'll be practically giving them away

and get a gen 5 for my boot drive

[sly elk]

My first board only had two so I used a pcie adapter to have 3 lol

[umbral moss]

I'm also waiting for wave 2 of the x670 boards

since they'll have fixed all the horseshit issues that launch wave had

like, yanno, using a fucking automatic overvoltage system that blows up your CPU

[sly elk]

Lol

They fixed that a long time ago

[sharp star]

yeah it's fixed

[odd sand]

Looking at DDR5 RAM on newegg atm ... there is a wild discrepancy in cas latency for ddr5 ram it feels like. Some as high as 48 but some as low as 28, Then again I guess if you consider it on a percentage basis, cas14 is a lot better than cas20

[dreamy chasm]

iirc

the median for decently lower cost ram right now that isn't terribly slow are a lot of the midspeed cas35 modules

48 is bottom bin

pretty much the equivalent of what cl22 modules were'

[torpid kayak]

DDR6 when

[sly walrus]

ask konami

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-dancing-ddr-gif-16187051

[paper tusk]

Starting to feel like an idiot for spending this much for a spare cpu (gpu+ssd+ram+mobo)

Only smoked 315 monys

But i still feel like a dumbass

[modest moss]

do you have a purpose

[paper tusk]

to suffer

[modest moss]

sell it for 500 on fb marketplace or craigslist, ez

[paper tusk]

tempted to (I need a usb 3 front panel dodad first to make it sellable since only one is in back and via the card reader)

if i can budget a wifi card that might add another 20 monys profit

since it has the slot for one

[royal forge]

im so salty that the telco let me register for fibre then turned around and noped

its kinda fuckin annoyin

Sir, im trying to PAY you

do you NOT want my money?

[sly elk]

lmao

i was playing with the lights in our other house remotely and one of them got stuck on

turns out OpenRGB can control phillips wiz bulbs

so OpenRGB to the rescue!

i like how there's multiple "if you know the IP address you can control the bulb" ways to do it

... this sounds like a security nightmare....

I'm pretty sure the lightbulbs just have a server that accepts http rest messages lol

[dreamy chasm]

hack into your neighbor's network and randomly turn lights on and off

[glossy ravine]

To my suprise and bewilderment:

My birthday is in 5 days but. I didn't expect them to get me another monitor.

[lost python]

sweet

but you need a bigger desk lmao

[glossy ravine]

Now I need to figure out how to get both monitors to show the same thing. Having the second montior (one on the left) as an information screen.

[lost python]

or a little stand to put your PC next to the desk but elevated from the carpet

wait show the same thing or different things?

[glossy ravine]

My GPU only has 1 HDMI slot.

[lost python]

then you either need a different cable or adapter

[glossy ravine]

Left monitor would be like. Chrome/discord. Main monitor being FFXIV

[royal forge]

Right

Should my PC, monitor et all, be on a desk facing the window

Or in a corner away from the window

[lost python]

yeah need to get an adapter or fitting cable for the second. probably displayport if your GPU has a port for it.
and then once its hooked up, just press WIN+P and select the fitting option

[royal forge]

Meaning the back of the monitor is towards the window

[lost python]

if the sun can hit it, then definitely place it away from the window

[royal forge]

Why? Sun damage?

[lost python]

yeah

[royal forge]

Or just light

[lost python]

also the sun can make it quite toasty

[royal forge]

Ah

True

[lost python]

yeah thats a displayport port

[royal forge]

But the area with the window is directly under the air conditioner

So

Hmm

[lost python]

is the AC always running even if you aint home?

[royal forge]

Nah but neither is my pc

[glossy ravine]

They really went 3 display, 1 HDMI port.

[lost python]

yeah but the sun can still heat up spots. wouldnt be the first time to see malformed screens or dead ones due to prolonged sun exposure
plus the UV light aint good for any type of plastic in the longterm

[lost python]

kinda standard these days

[glossy ravine]

Thats annoying.

[royal forge]

Gotcha. Curtains wknt really help right?

[glossy ravine]

But oh well.

[lost python]

if they block the sunlight then they will help

[glossy ravine]

I can't complain about free stuff

[royal forge]

Partial. Light still gets through

[lost python]

well some light aint bad

just direct contact with the sun is best avoided

[royal forge]

Cuz its also my study table

[lost python]

can also get some of these

[royal forge]

So some sunlight would be bealthy

Cant. Rented room. The window frames arent thick enough

This is the current condition

[lost python]

they exist without the need to permanently screw them in or something
there are some with clips that you just hang in

[royal forge]

Barely room for my keyboard

[lost python]

oh ye thats smol

[royal forge]

So I have this shitty dresser with a mirror

Im gonna slap the monitor on THAT, then put the desk in front of the dresser

[glossy ravine]

(Didn't crop out PII. )

But the price ain't bad.

[lost python]

ye

[royal forge]

Its QUITE a cursed workaround

Ngl

But

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I dont got much choice

[glossy ravine]

They even have an onscreen reticle. Now I can try a Halo LASO run without being scuffed.

[modest moss]

can you not wall mount the monitor on an arm?

same question for @glossy ravine with the tiny desk too

also Fade put the pc on the floor

[dreamy chasm]

Wall mounting probably requires drilling

Not sure if they're able to do that

[celest violet]

Not sure if people in here are big into keebs, but I'm thinking of going with an nj80 75%, and some akko lavender purple lubed switches.

Will miss numpad but will adapt

Just worried about the brand of the board kit itself

I could go gmmk pro, just not a fan of the arrow keys being slightly off tbh

[glossy ravine]

I guess I could? There's a bed headboard right behind that desk.

I also don't have a mounting thing. Plus, I like the moving angle part of the monitor stand.

As for putting the tower on the floor, I'd need something custom for things as there's not a whole lot of space under my desk.

What's the name of like. The raised platform I'd need to put my tower on the floor?

[modest moss]

can you not just put it to the right of the desk on the floor?

[compact pine]

it would be ugly but could always put it on the floor facing sideways in front by your feet

[modest moss]

'piece of wood'

or cardboard even

or just put it on the carpet, because who fucking cares

[glossy ravine]

Airflow is pretty important, given I have some fairly power-hungry parts.

A Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 5600 XT.

Next upgrade is going to be the GPU.

[compact pine]

all your intake is from the bottom and sides?

[glossy ravine]

https://nzxt.com/product/h510

This is the case I have

[compact pine]

ahhh classic sides and top

[modest moss]

it'd be fine

[compact pine]

floor should be fine tbh

[glossy ravine]

I also have some of the bits missing that cover the PCIE slots because I lost them

[modest moss]

that's just extra ventilation

honestly, too many people micro manage their pc

68c under load will be almost no difference to 72c under load

[glossy ravine]

I suppose I can put it there. One of the reasons I have my tower where it is. Is because my room door is immediately to the right of this desk.

Mostly a privacy thing

[modest moss]

orrrr get a new desk without one drawer

[celest violet]

Tower riser/platform, pc cart, or just get an ikea nigthstand

[lost python]

yeah but 68 looks better

[celest violet]

Amazon should have some

[glossy ravine]

I think under load my cpu is like ~50ish?

Granted I will never even approach overclocking

[compact pine]

yea that case isnt the bed for airflow in the first place so blocking off the any of those sides would suck

[celest violet]

Best idea is to avoid nzxt tbh

[glossy ravine]

I got the case I have currently under the recommendation of my older sibling.

The orientation of my fans isn't the most optimal either...

[latent ore]

i used to just but mine in a plastic box

on the floor

[dreamy chasm]

Temperatures don't matter much unless you're near throttling

Mfs be like: "is 85c make my CPU dead?"

[glossy ravine]

Highest temp I've seen out of my CPU is 60ish.

[lost python]

or the classic "help my GPU is at 98% load! i dont want it to break"

[dreamy chasm]

I wouldn't worry then

[latent ore]

just dont let ur cpu go over 100 for a long time

and you will be fine

[dreamy chasm]

Making your components and cooler wont make any difference

[glossy ravine]

But that's when I was really pushing my cpu, multiple items open, including XIV, chrome with like 18 tabs open. (Adhd moment.) While looking through steam

[compact pine]

I have the fractal meshify c. Great price for airflow cases. Debated on getting g a bigger one but it would push fitting on the desk. And I only have two I takes in the front now, used to have two up top but it made no sense and didn't help with temps

[lost python]

i really want the fractal nord because i am a sucker for wooden accents

[compact pine]

UGH i know , saw it in store and was so tempted

[compact pine]

i do this on ff14...... while playing other games at the same time

[glossy ravine]

Gonna be upgrading from a 5600 XT to a 6750 XT eventually. But that's also going to need a PSU upgrade.

Only have a 650w PSU

[compact pine]

maybe consider a nvidia card then instead? not sure if your set on getting amd brand

[glossy ravine]

I'll get a fully modular supply to eliminate cable management issues.

Whatever gets similar performance/cheaper.

I'm not like. Hyper Brand Loyal.

[lost python]

yeah unfortunately nvidia has fuck all below 700

[glossy ravine]

I just chose AMD to begin with because I started with a Ryzen 5 2600X because the stock cooler came with pre-applied thermal paste.

And the idea of having to apply my own TP terrified me.

[compact pine]

wraith cooler works wonders for a included cooler, i used it for two years before swaping to a big boy

[modest moss]

your 650w should be fine for a 6750xy

[modest moss]

cyan gone from small form factor to no form factor

[dreamy chasm]

Embrace formlessness

[modest moss]

you were told wrong

[glossy ravine]

Running a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and eventually a 6750 XT, 16 GB of RAM, along with 3 bits of storage. 2 SSDs and 1 HDD.

[dreamy chasm]

650w runs a 6750xt just fine

[modest moss]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/amd-radeon-rx-6750-xt

[dreamy chasm]

My 6700xt barely runs past 200w

And I have it set to a lower power limit, so it barely pushes past 140

[modest moss]

is your 650w a dogshit no name brand, or is it someone respectable?

[sly elk]

for no particularly good reason I kinda hate that case lol

I'm pretty sure it's because when it came out, everyone on /r/pcmasterrace and /r/battlestations swooned over it and I kept seeing it being used

so i'm sitting there thinking like sarcastic squidward watching new builds show up

[dreamy chasm]

Let people enjoy what they like

[sly elk]

NO.

I CANNOT/.

[dreamy chasm]

It's been years since something like this has come out

[sly elk]

YOU CANNOT ENJOY IT

[compact pine]

NOT ALLOWED

[dreamy chasm]

Or forever

[sly elk]

NOBODY EVER LIKES MINE SO WHY SHOULD I LIKE YOURS

[modest moss]

just laugh at kyanche's trash can mac

[compact pine]

PROVE IT

[sly elk]

lol seriously though, the more I add to my setup the more criticism and fewer upvotes it gets

[wide hill]

i wonder if at least one person has a collection of cases they swap everytime a new one comes out that is trendy

[lost python]

good thing i dont give a fuck about other peoples builds and just want it to look nice in my room

[sly elk]

LOL

though seriously I am happy if you're happy and like

[glossy ravine]

Looks like I'm only drawing like 400 Watts.

According to P3.

[compact pine]

only reason im not getting new cases is to not have to rebuild it for a third time

[modest moss]

also laugh at Rob calling it 'nord' instead of 'north' just to try and sound all euro and sophisticated

[sly elk]

a build is a build like

that north looks nice

even with the brown accents 😛

[lost python]

i am euro and sophisticated

[glossy ravine]

Currently.

With the 6750 XT, it's 489W

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-fancy-nickelodeon-driving-gif-17797511

[modest moss]

see, plenty of room

[dreamy chasm]

150w is plenty of headroom

[compact pine]

makes me wonder why tf i got a 850w in the first place

[glossy ravine]

Whew.

[dreamy chasm]

More headroom doesn't hurt. And quality 850w generally isn't much more expensive than a decent 650 unit these days

[lost python]

i wonder if 150W really are plenty, when you remember that board, ram, fans, lights, USB devices etc all also need to be powered

[dreamy chasm]

But 650w for midrange builds is more than sufficient

[glossy ravine]

It's a few years old, wondering when I should replace it.

My psu

[modest moss]

so Fade with that $100 we just saved you, buy a new desk

[dreamy chasm]

The 6750xt and the 5800x3d don't breach past 400w combined

[glossy ravine]

🙏

Thank you

[modest moss]

when it either breaks or won't power any new upgrades later

PSUs can easily last a decade tbh

they don't always, but they sure can

[glossy ravine]

I didn't cheap out, got a corsair branded PSU.

[lost python]

yes but do remember that the 6k series suffered from powerspikes and that the6750xt can spike up to 400W by itself

[glossy ravine]

Rather not fry my system... or the entire house.

[modest moss]

it probably has a ten year warranty

[dreamy chasm]

I don't think the 67xt gets transients that high

[real edge]

my 750w psu is 6yrs old and its a corsair HXi

[dreamy chasm]

Last I checked

[real edge]

I can fit a 4090 in it

if I wanted

no reason to replace it

its still fine

[lost python]

it does unfortunately

[modest moss]

I bet it don't do that at 1080p though

[glossy ravine]

According to Amazon, has a 3 year Warrenty.

There was a snafu with my sibling. I bought a PSU... But so did he. I ended up selling the one I bought. Unless BB Has an extra long warranty, I don't.

[dreamy chasm]

Interesting

[lost python]

280-350W on average during gaming, depending on resolution and game etc and the spikes

[glossy ravine]

1080p is my goal

4k just. Doesn't seem necessary to me. Unless it's being compared side-by-side, I can't tell a difference.

[lost python]

well you need an appropriate monitor for it yeah

[real edge]

1440p is the ideal for gaming and browsing for me

and 1440p displays have gotten cheap

[glossy ravine]

4k is wildly expensive and just. Out of my price range.

[lost python]

given the distance you are from your screen, it wouldnt be worth it anyway

[dreamy chasm]

1440p is pretty cheap nowadays, but keeping the 1080p panel that you probably currently have isn't a bad idea

[real edge]

^

m27q that I recommend is like 300$

[glossy ravine]

I looked at the gpu I got 3 years ago on Amazon.

I got mine for a few hundred. Entire build was ~1200 at the beginning.

This shit

[lost python]

old hardware scalpers lol

[real edge]

everyone recommends a 850w psu or more for the 4090 but looking at power draw, even at stock it will be fine even with my 750w psu

but I cannot slot in a 3080, or a 6900xt because reasons

[glossy ravine]

Bro, that's the cost of like. My entire initial build. If I'm gonna drop that kind of money on a GPU, I'd get like a 4090 or a 3080 and buy something else with what's leftover.

[real edge]

if I want a gpu that lasts me for as many years as the 1070 did apparently that is my only option

4070 sucks, 4070ti also sucks, both because of vram and memory bus, 4080 is too expensive for its performance

but im paranoid about the power cable so im waiting for the new connector to be more mainstream before getting anything

the recessed pins

[glossy ravine]

I'll prolly get my 6750 XT around the end of the year.

[real edge]

hm

[glossy ravine]

That or Black Friday/CM

[real edge]

by then the 7800xt and the 7700xt might have also dropped in price so check those out as well

[glossy ravine]

I just don't have 400-500 dollars to drop on a GPU upgrade.

[real edge]

when the time comes

[glossy ravine]

Not currently anyway.

Course I could sell my 5600 XT for like. $150. To help reimburse some of the cost.

[real edge]

yeh

IF the 7800xt is still priced at 450-500 and the performance is good and not just a 6800xt refurbish

then it can be ok

[dreamy chasm]

You might be able to get a 6700xt for less than or close to 300 USD if you wait around for sales

[glossy ravine]

Again. I'll see the prices around BF/CM.

I'll have funds for it then anyway.

[dreamy chasm]

Some of the models have been on sale for 310-320 recently

[real edge]

they are 320euro in greece right now

im sure they will be cheaper in the US

[glossy ravine]

350 in freedom currency.

320 euros is roughly 350 USD.

[dreamy chasm]

It's been as low as 310usd

During sales

But im not sure how future pricing will look like

[real edge]

[glossy ravine]

It's funny really. Birthday is just a few days out, but aside from the monitor and AC6, (Which I'm incredibly grateful for!) I'm only getting less money because of how life is shaking out lmao

I'm not trying to sound like. "People owe me" stuff.

That's not the intention, just pointing out how birthday is usually where you'd get money for something like this. But I'm nowhere near in the situation to buy a 6750 XT lmao.

[dull garnet]

[dreamy chasm]

Just buy the 6700xt if it's noticeably cheaper

[glossy ravine]

Really, I'm incredibly lucky as is. I'm given on average a lot more money to play with than most full working adults.

[dreamy chasm]

The 6750xt is just clocked higher out of box, generally

[glossy ravine]

Is there a big difference between a 6700 XT and a 6750 XT?

[dreamy chasm]

It's just the default clocks

You can generally tune a 6700xt to run similarly

Since amd tends to be somewhat conservative with voltages on their stock cards

Usually leaves some headroom if you're willing to set aside an hour or two to do so

[real edge]

these spikes will be cutting it close but I have faith in the PSU I purchased

[glossy ravine]

24 GB seems overkill tbh

[real edge]

yeah in terms of specs the 4080 is fine

but it costs like 200$ too much

its 1088 in greece

[dull garnet]

they all do

[real edge]

which is below msrp but still too much

[celest violet]

I think 16gb is the bare minimum for gpus tbh

Nothing wrong with extra

[dreamy chasm]

The only entry-midrange 16gb card in the market has issues

[celest violet]

Yeah, but the fact that we let companies get away with 8 and 10 is a crime for what we pay

16 should be standard for what we pay tbh

[dreamy chasm]

Shrug

I'm just disillusioned and just recommend whatever fits in someone's budget at this point

[modest moss]

I mean, my 3070ti with 8gb plays most things great at 1440p

[celest violet]

I had to turn settings down on a few games when I went from 16 to 10, so I'm a little biased

[dreamy chasm]

16gb is ideal but the a770 still has some issues needing ironing out, and the 6800xt isn't exactly cheap

[celest violet]

Oh I dont even consider intel in the market

[dreamy chasm]

They're an option, but you have to be willing to accept any tradeoffs that come with supporting what's basically a new platform

[celest violet]

I'm just salty a card as high end as a 3080 has 10

[dreamy chasm]

The old shortage was somewhat of a justification back then, but it's just become extortion these days

[celest violet]

It's always been extortion

[dreamy chasm]

There's much better margin to be had by upselling high capacity cards to professionals, so

I do wish Intel's battlemage ends up working out

Intel arcs shown promise

[celest violet]

If amd would just make a new vega with a good bit of ram, and rtx cores and it's priced well and competes I'd be happy

I feel like rdna/Navi isn't as good as the potential vega had

[dreamy chasm]

What are you talking about

[celest violet]

I mean vega 2 had potential, just consumed hella wattage

[dreamy chasm]

There's a reason why they moved past that architecture

[celest violet]

I owned vega cards and had less issues out of them then rdna cards tbh

@deep sapphire think you’re the guy to bug for this- what’s your thoughts on this compressor? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-QUIET-TECH-2-Gallon-Single-Stage-Portable-Electric-Hot-Dog-Air-Compressor/1001014016

[celest violet]

Vega was great for computation work

Hbm2 was beautiful

You want a 4 gallon minimum or you won’t be able to do shit with it

Have you thought about the stands that clamp onto the desk and hold multiple monitors?

Kinda thing

It allows for plenty of pivot

[royal forge]

I have. The table wood is.. shit mdf

I dont trust it

And getting it shipped to me, out in the middle of nowhere, is quite expensive

As it is, i think i'll use the dresser then work frm there

[deep sapphire]

Yeah this isn’t really an upgrade and I frankly don’t really see the point other than the mid tier lineup

I guess it’s mostly for OEMs wanting a yearly refresh

[sly elk]

I mean that’s all it is yawn

But what the hell does intel expect

Why are they so defensive over a shitty small upgrade lol

[solid dirge]

Honestly, from a marketing PoV it's a real bad look for a whole-ass new generation to be a minor upgrade at best if not flat-out neutral

The information getting out early that it's like that is uh.. that's gonna do some damage. To my knowledge, 13th is still pretty new.

Iunno when it came out exactly but I don't think it was long ago

That cat is oatmeal

[late basalt]

Intending on something like it for air assist on my laser cutter, so noise is a larger concern than capacity for the compressor itself. The plan is to have a secondary tank (looking at the 7 or 11gal from HF) that would act as an intermediate storage/supply at the lower psi i need

That way i can keep the compressor stashed in a closet out of the way to help cut down on the noise even further

[sly elk]

I can't understand how it would be bad news for intel in terms of sales, maybe stock price lol

but even then?

early in the year: Next gen is gonna be almost the same? Might as well buy my i7 build now while the prices are good, since there's no point in waiting for next gen.

early in the year is when companies are less profitable, so that kinda leak would push people to buy stuff during intel's quiet time

later in the year is christmas season, and having flashy news would encourage people to buy

but somehow idk if people still buy computers as christmas presents

i doubt it lol

[solid dirge]

Generally speaking, newer hardware is going to be more expensive to produce. Producers, therefor, want people to buy THAT product, not the old stuff.

[sly elk]

sure, but a leak of the new stuff being substantially better hurts sales in the short run

but I suppose that depends on how good they are at managing their inventory

[solid dirge]

At the same time, the older stuff will drop in price as a result. Usually. However, if the price to performance comparison is just.. not worth it, and that's known very early on, people are incentivized even less to buy the new stuff.
Especially if this information comes out long before it hits the shelves; a lot of people just buy the new stuff without bothering with research because it's "new and therefor better"

Early leaks with "well it's not actually that much better" as info tends to slam that

Bottom line is, it's cutting potential sales on multiple levels

The AMD fanboys are still out in force.

[sly elk]

they are, but let's face it

[solid dirge]

Actually last I heard AMD still tends to lead a wee bit these days

[sly elk]

there are many many customers who will never buy AMD, some probably don't even know it's an option lol

for example, anyone who buys dell

[solid dirge]

And you definitely still have a choice. I'm still using a 7th gen lol

[sly elk]

work computers too*

[solid dirge]

The only reason I have any intentions of upgrading is literally just because shit is finally catching up

[sly elk]

while AMD does sell epyc and you can get AMD workstations and stuff

trust me when I say

asking an IT professional "have you considered the AMD cpu option?" is a great way to get laughed at.

(I did it once, and got laughed at :D)

(at the time I needed a server for a rack unit asap and what I really cared about was lead time

turned out our supplier had a like 2 week lead time for powerredges with epyc chips vs a 3 month lead time for xeons

but then the project got a big delay, and by the time that delay was over, the lead time was the same, so xeons it was lol

I'm running a 7800x3d in my personal machine, at this point I consider myself fairly brand neutral lol 😄

it's the first not-intel windows machine I've owned since the cyrix 266 back in 1998 lmao

[cerulean talon]

12th gen intel in the linux box, 7600x on the gaming windows box, it's whatever.

[sly elk]

it's just whenever i built, the most attractive deal was an intel rig

this time it felt pretty neutral but the amd chip runs a lot cooler, so I preferred that lol

I really do think mid-range builds are the best right now

4090 and a 13900k sounds like a nightmare to me

but if you have great air conditioning, it's not an issue, right? 😄

[wraith agate]

no

[sly walrus]

if the plan isn't to go away, then make a new plan

[cold yacht]

Imagine having ac

[sly elk]

lol it's not common where I live

mostly because the weather doesn't often go above 80f

[cold yacht]

So far I’m running a 3070 + 13600kf with only case fans

Average summer weather like 105f

[sly elk]

and no ac?!

[cold yacht]

Ac doesn’t go to my room

I’m born in the heat molded by the heat

https://tenor.com/view/bane-batman-gif-12311761

But yeah I am looking at getting new case fans on cyber Monday

Any recommendations for a cosair 4000d case

[sly walrus]

it's august

cyber monday is a ways off

[sly elk]

O_o

if I were you I'd move my desk to a room that had ac lol

anyway, case fans? there are a ton of options. Especially if you don't care about rgb.

[sly walrus]

idk, check pcpartpicker or smth

[sly elk]

if you do care about rgb, then it depends on your budget, and what you think looks best

there aren't really any scientific benchmarks for fans, that I am aware of anyway.

so you can look at stuff like airflow vs static pressure optimization, and otherwise just cross shop against those metrics

(and noise, too, in dBA, of course)

but a whole lot of it is going to just be snake oil lmao

if you want some cheap rgb fans, I like these a lot: https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-TL-C12CW-S-Computer-Included-Quantities）/dp/B0BKK2MBWG

there's also the infamous arctic fans which come in a fairly priced 5 pack, and of course corsair's ML fans, which are expensive, but I really like them

or noctuas, which pretty much everyone loves

I'd recommend taking a look around, consider your budget and case size/shape (do you want 120mm or 140mm fans? do 140s fit your case?), etc.. then if you have specific model fans in mind, feel free to ask here what people think ^^

[paper tusk]

the case should have two 120mm in front (support for 3), with support for 120 in rear, and two 120/140 on top.
edit: I would probably go with a 3 pack of thermalright 120mm and stick one in front and 2 on top
edit 2: not sure if you have a tower or aio cpu cooler. if liquid cooling then would go with 2 140mm fans in front and relocate the stock fans/keep in case of fail

[royal forge]

Anyone here knows how to fuck around with google forms and their sheets?

[royal forge]

Is there a way to setup a questionaire so it takes the answer and uses it to keep track of the stock of items?

Google forms in particular

I.e. if someone takes item A from the storage and fills in the form, there is a running tally of how much of the stock remains

Hey gamers. My DP to HDMI cord came in. I plug it in to the new monitor (as the cord isn't very long.) And now neither monitor is working.

[dull garnet]

[modest moss]

unplug the hdmi and see if it works

[glossy ravine]

Turning off the power to my new monitor makes the old monitor work.

[modest moss]

hdmi to new monitor works yes?

[sly elk]

one thing you can check

is windows + P

make sure it says extend

[glossy ravine]

Extend. Kk

O-kay. That just flipped things

[sly elk]

fwiw if you can't see, you can just keep hitting win+p (when you let go it changes modes)

[sly elk]

go into display settings then and check

[glossy ravine]

I got it to duplicate.

[modest moss]

progress

[sly elk]

(right click your desktop, -> display settings) -- click each screen (if it shows 2) and then make sure neither one says 'do not use this display' lol

sometimes windows gets weird >>

[glossy ravine]

Hitting detect gives me an error saying it can't detect things

Having things extend allows my mouse to move off the middle one

Apparently the Input signal is out of range?

It looks like it finally detected them as two separate monitors.

But the old monitor won't display things

[sly elk]

from the new monitor, you should be able to select the old monitor and change its resolution

if you can't see the display settings window

hover over the settings icon in the taskbar, then right click the window's thumbnail and click move (then use an arrow key to start moving it, and then you can move the mouse to move the window)

[glossy ravine]

Because when I click on things, it's going to the old monitor.

[dull garnet]

duplicate means it is trying to give the lower res display the higher res

[glossy ravine]

Because like. I'm trying to set the middle monitor as my main

[glossy ravine]

Not. quite what I wanted but. Yeehaw

[sly elk]

what did ya want?

[glossy ravine]

I wanted the right monitor to be the one with all the icons and such and the other one to be the extended display.

[sly elk]

you can do that

select the one you want and look around for an option to make it the 'main display'

(if you click the 1 or 2 box, it'll turn blue and be 'selected', thus the options will apply to that screen)

sigh. Sonic.net keeps advertising in my instagram about their low priced fiber internet being 'available in your area!' but then it isn't 😦 sadness.

[dreamy chasm]

why

[modest moss]

Why

Yeah tell cyan why

[dreamy chasm]

[glossy ravine]

Not sure my desk has the clearance for it

[modest moss]

Get a new desk ez

[glossy ravine]

Haven't measured though

[modest moss]

Smash off one of the drawers

[dreamy chasm]

Put it beside the desk?

[modest moss]

I think that has door issues

[glossy ravine]

One side is the wall, the other is the door to my room.

[dreamy chasm]

oh

This is why I built itx

[modest moss]

Take the door off the hinges and put a curtain up ez

[glossy ravine]

Ehh. I like my privacy.

[modest moss]

are a relative's ashes stored in there

Really, I want to toss this entire desk out. But I'd have nothing to replace it with.

Okay. Getting this replaced with something better asap. I need recommendations. This is damn near unusable. How the hell have I put up with this?

Part of the reason I may not enjoy PC gaming is because of this damn desk.

[dreamy chasm]

Just get a flat top with more legroom

[glossy ravine]

I'm just going to dig through what's even in this desk.

Mom got my an electronic duster for Christmas. It came with this... stuff? I'm pretty sure it's a health hazard and I refuse to open it given that the duster smells like something's burning whenever I turn it on.

[sly elk]

you could put the desk on bed risers

that would definitely make it a little taller

Size requirements: Length: 46"

I do have a bit of wiggle room but. I need a better desk that I won't hate working at. Preferably with some storage in/on it

[royal forge]

Ikea

I genuinely think Ikea dining tables make excellent pc tables

And i'd do seperate storage

[glossy ravine]

Ergonomics is prolly my biggest requirement along with keeping it in size

[glossy ravine]

Looking at Ikea, there's a computer desk for $100. Measurements are fine, it's just material that has me kinda concerned.

[royal forge]

Nono

Dont go for the computer table

Wooden dining table, rectangular

[glossy ravine]

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/micke-desk-black-brown-10244743/#content

[royal forge]

No frills but solid

Its wood planks and its smooth

[glossy ravine]

I haven't made any purchases. This is far too expensive of a purchase for me to be careless.

Length: 46"
Width: 23"
Height: 25 1/2"

Is the measurements of my current desk. The space is fine, it's just that it has no place for my tower to go, making it cramped.

[royal forge]

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ingo-table-pine-14630009/

Solid

[glossy ravine]

nods

I do wish it had some storage though.

[royal forge]

Get a.night table or wdeva they call it

So the drawers are deeper than the usual ones for documents

So you can put ya controllers etc and still have it mobile

[glossy ravine]

Bc this is a work/gaming desk thing

Have notebooks and such.

But thank you Aoi.

[royal forge]

Ah

Good luck

[glossy ravine]

I suppose I can like. Attach storage?

[royal forge]

Yea.

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/cat/drawer-units-10711/

[glossy ravine]

Cool. I think I'll go with that then. Storage isn't as critical as a desk that's comfortable and has space for everything

As for cables and such, I could cut a hole in the back to run cables though instead of the back.

[royal forge]

I'd just buy those simple hooks for walls

Then loop cables

And hang em off the side

I did that for my controller etc

but i also went with a dining table top, legs from amazon and 2 ikea alex

[royal forge]

There are variants

Not just that obe

One*

And i always recommend going to see it for urself b4 deciding

[glossy ravine]

Gotcha.

Looking around at more than just Ikea.

Go to Office Depot.

First search results is more than 1k

[lost python]

yeah the issue with normal desks is that they are either incredibly expensive or they are manufactured the ikea way with thin-af wood (if they even get actual wood) or made from paper.
sometimes you get both: overpriced paper. ideally you want to always check them out in person like aoi said, so you can be sure you are getting quality.

but thats also why many people go with kitchen countertops or dining table tops with some decent desk legs. they usually arent very expensive but much more stable. you just have to build it yourself, which... isnt exactly hard as long as you either got a good screwdriver and strong hands or one of these badbois

[deep sapphire]

wow look at this guy

Tbh, I game on a 6 core CPU these days, it's all I need, as 90% of the workload is on the GPU anyway. Except factorio, but that's it's own death, and I deserve all the pain I get for using a weak CPU.

THe linux box gets all the cores though, but writing multithreaded software is just sane.

[deep sapphire]

it kinda makes you impressed that the xbox one and PS4 were even able to play games at reasonable frame rates

the xbox one had like 1.7 Ghz CPU rofl

[cerulean talon]

Writing platform-optimized code will do amazing things for performance, it's just expensive.

[dreamy chasm]

1.7ghz jaguar cores

You'll do anything to get stuff running on that with the adoption rate the consoles had

[cerulean talon]

Tbh, I kinda want to build a machine around the jaguar processors, but I'm also insane, so.

[dreamy chasm]

it probably wouldnt be expensive

nevermind, people are hanging onto the fx processors and selling them for far too much lmao

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, it's not awful, but it's not great.

I am always amused at the ways to externalize debug uarts 😄

[sly elk]

According to a report from Technews Taiwan, ASUS has shut down its Zenfone division responsible for making some of the best compact Android flagships on the market. The reason is due to "internal restructuring." Employees in the Zenfone division are being moved over to the ROG Phone team and other parts of the business. Android Authority reports:

Right

@deep sapphire the fuckin clowns called me to say they magically opened ports for my internet

Somehow in a day they've managed to install an extra board with ports for fibre internet

Usually it takes a year to do

[late basalt]

Someone probably threatened to take a car to the equipment box if they didn’t do any upgrades

[sly elk]

I like that idea 😄

"I've got a backhoe parked here that I'd just love to try out"

Lmao i wish

Its boondocks area

I fully expect em to show up and go

"Oh shit they messed up the wrong box again lmao"

[glossy ravine]

I'm not sure why my Bios had Amd-Virtualization turned off by default.

Will virtualization play nicely with my 5800X3D CPU?

Because it seems a little weird to lock Virtualization behind the BIOS instead of like. Settings.

[late basalt]

i think settings like those are "hidden" in the bios so that changing them is an intentional choice, rather than a "found this random setting and did something because why not"

[paper tusk]

6 core fx's are about 15-20 buckazoids a pop so the worst cost of entry is an appropriate cooler and mobo

[cerulean talon]

This is normal in AMD chipsets, and yes, it'll be fine.

[cerulean talon]

This is specifically around the jaguar cored FX's which are semi-rare in non-SOC form unfortunately.

[paper tusk]

oh 😐

[dull garnet]

Jaguar cores eh

[dull garnet]

when has virtualisation ever not been a bios option? 🤔

[glossy ravine]

Uh, I didn't think it even was a thing. Like. At all.

[royal forge]

Update: internet guy no show

I was prepared for disappointment but boy were my expectations surpassed

[proven oyster]

what is

A good all in one Monitor size?

Like i got a 23.5 inch monitor, and wondering what is a nice size above that for like, as said
All in one. No multi screen

[real edge]

27inch 1440p usually

enough screen space for everything and a good enough resolution to play games at high fidelity

[proven oyster]

Puts it on windowed 720

I been having this laptop for a while, and i notice i basically can't
really do dual monitors amusingly. Mostly because my own brain Hard focuses on one screen

Like, laptop screen and 23.5 monitor

Although still debating if maybe better to get a desk to allow the laptop to be closer, but still

[real edge]

hm

playing games at 1440p is a bit game changing

[odd sand]

40% game changing... in pixel density /s

[royal forge]

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHHAHAHHHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Started raining just as they wanted to stadt attaching the wires

[sly elk]

ok there's one thing I don't like much about my g pro wireless mouse >>
I wish it had the free spinning wheel the g502 has :]

but i like the shape and lack of rubber

[potent arrow]

My superlight is still my favorite mouse to date

Logitech is gonna have to try pretty hard to top it.
Got a bigger scroll wheel and encoder mod on it
Glass skates
kailh 8.0 switches instead of omrons
Custom side switches
The sensor and software I really like
The shape is perfect too, so idk if it'll get any better

[real edge]

I want a superlight that has 5-6 side buttons

make that and they've got my sale.

[potent arrow]

That's not the use case tho

That's an MMO mouse

Superlight is an fps mouse meant to be lightweight, if people didn't use side buttons for FPS it wouldn't have those even

MMO mouses don't need to be light, they are more focused on added as many side buttons as possible

[real edge]

mmo mouse is 12-20 side buttons

1-2 is fps mouse

5-6 should be middle ground

[potent arrow]

I won't expect a lightweight to have more then 2 side ever

Havnt seen a 6 button in a while

[real edge]

I want a middleground mouse with a good censor, medium to light weight with 5-6 side buttons for MMOs and good censor/slides for FPS games

I play all kinds of games

but no such mouse exists

I think one steelcase mouse exists?

[potent arrow]

I mean my friend's modded scimitar does that, but it's modded and has more then 5-6 buttons

He cut out most of the internal plastic and 3D printed a new base for glass skates

But I play all games on the superlight and do savages/ults with this mouse

So rn it's really an all rounder for me

FF14 I use front and back as Ctrl and shift

[real edge]

hm

https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice/aerox-5#specs

this was the one I was thinking about

it has 5 side buttons

[potent arrow]

Hole mice >_>

[real edge]

ye

I want one like that but better made

good sensor, 5 side buttons and medium-light weight

the only one that exists tho is that

[potent arrow]

Only 18k CPI too

[dreamy chasm]

CPI count doesn't really matter

Sensor performance at the CPI you'd actually use it at is what ends up making the difference

Razer's been using max cpi count as a marketing tool for years but they've always just interpolated the speeds, with a lot of their sensors reaching 6400ish natively max

[royal forge]

I've got a single power outlet

I have 2 of those multiplug extension cords

How bad of an idea is daisy chaining em both

Cuz i need more than a single power outlet

I need... six or so

Its.. kinda annoying because the stupid houseowner told me, with a straight face, the power outlet is actually just a daisy chain off the AC Power plug

Which is

Just.. what the fuck

[lost python]

sounds like a fire hazard

[royal forge]

It do

[potent arrow]

That's illegal here LMFAO

[royal forge]

yeah well

Welcome to malaysia

i remember a story my dad told me

during CNY, everyone comes back, reunion dinner. Theres airconditioning running, multiple hot pots etc etc

so the power kept tripping.

So, rather than, ya know, fix the fuse

the electrician just bypassed it with a fuckoff thick cable

it caught fire a few days later

[umbral moss]

wasn't thick enough then

[dreamy chasm]

[umbral moss]

also, you can't just "fix the fuse" since the fuse is literally designed to protect undersized wiring from that specific issue

bumping up the current rating on a circuit breaker requires you to rip all the wiring out and increase the gauge, plus redo the branches at the gangs in the walls

read: huge pain in the ass and very expensive

Dude slapped a 3/4 piece of plumbing copper in it I bet

nice, another 1500€ phone

apple pls, gimme an iphone the size of the pro max but not that expensive

[deep sapphire]

@potent arrow

[deep sapphire]

They do

iPhone Plus

I’m gonna get the new pro max I’m still on the 12 pro max

[lost python]

1000€ for me for the plus, which is weird because i have only ever seen the 14, 14 pro and 14 pro max

i wish it was legal to throw eggs on people with loud cars

[umbral moss]

I'm about to be one of those people

well, technically I already am since my OEM exhaust rusted out before the muffler lmao

[lost python]

well that aint intentional

[umbral moss]

well, it's also way cheaper to buy an aftermarket performance catback than to have OEM parts put back in

so it's time to become one of those pricks

the dealer quoted me $2900 parts and labor to fix the catback, I can get a catback system for $800 and spend $300 putting it in at a shop

[lost python]

its extremely frustrating because, without even overexaggerating, i have some idiot with an incredibly loud car race past my window every 2-5min. sometimes they stop at the traffic light and keep revving the entire time and its so god damn loud and obnoxious
