Mine fits it just sits slightly out

#

I have bigger case and 120mm cooler tho

sharp star
#

Yeah I just stopped going for larger air coolers

#

Maybe I'd go for ID-Cooling's A720 if I felt like it

hazy frost
#

I’d just buy an AIO

#

Extravagant

#

The only reason I don’t have one is bc I couldn’t decide which colour to get lol

hot shadow
#

white is ok cause pink lighting :>

#

or it goes with white/pink scheme anyway too

hazy frost
#

I still have a black gpu as well so I was thinking about it

#

Lighting is already pink anyway

hot shadow
#

what about those crazy aio with a lil screen on it

#

extravagant tho true

#

i'd prob get those in white then put something nice on

#

but what else are we gonna spend money on? food? pfff

#

men? pffffffffffffffffffffffffff

hazy frost
hot shadow
#

yaya

hazy frost
#

The good ones are like $250 tho which is too much for a cooler 😭

hot shadow
#

i think the more expensive one was the rotateable L screen one

#

i was like wtf this is in all the influencer vids now

hazy frost
#

I like the deepcool and lian li one with screen

#

But they’re both a lot

#

£150 for the lian li one is crazy

#

It doesn’t even look that nice

#

Why can’t they make this in white the RGB is so much nicer than the gaudy new stuff

hot shadow
#

true

#

that would be cute in white

hazy frost
#

The white one has a pump that looks like a small sun with the RGB on it instead

#

What is this

#

It’s stupidly bright in the reviews I saw too lmao

hot shadow
#

#

that's ok you can turn it down 😄

hazy frost
#

Probably

I’ll see if there’s sales after Christmas like usual anyway

i have a weird issue with my mobo when i slotted ram sticks into A2/B2 slots it just refused to boot, even when i put it back into A1/B1, literally zero response, no lights, no fans, nothing

#

then an hour later of trying to troubleshoot it

#

just randomly booted back up again

#

and i never touched it since

#

but because of that, i cant enable DOCP

#

😭

#

i thought i killed my pc

#

so like, im probably not gonna touch my ram until it fails

#

like

#

awver again

hot shadow
hazy frost
#

Gotta have done smth wrong bc I’ve never even seen someone do that before

hot shadow
#

how new is this board

#

if you bent any pins anywhere that Mobo is toast

hazy frost
#

Sounds like smth got rammed in the wrong way at some point in the process

hot shadow
#

o though once I found out my mobo was having a harmless short cause it was warping into the weird slightly curved PC case bottom and the screw stands weren't good enough at keeping it up so I had to take it out and dent the case bottom metal back outward, then PC could start lmao

#

that was 2010 tho, no case is that bad anymore

#

when you put RAM in it has to fully perfectly seat and you can watch the lil latches come up and sometimes hear a click

#

if you don't, it won't boot properly

#

if there's no fans no lights, it's usually not the ram. that suggest something else is wrong

#

the other rare problem is that you damaged the CPU pins

#

and somebody I know has used an xacto blade to push it back desperately

eager sandal
#

but i don't think having ram slotted on another place either prevents your pc from refusing to boot

#

like.. thats the first time i've ever even thought that would ever be an issue

inland mauve
#

the PC has to train new RAM first so booting up after you put new RAM in will take much longer than usual

#

but it will post in that case

#

from what it sounds like your PC didn't post at all

#

in that case I wonder if the RAM is even the problem to begin with

eager sandal
#

it didnt post yeah, and also the funnier part was

#

i was just reseating it

#

so its not new ram and DOCP/XMP wasnt enabled previously, so even resetting CMOS wasnt what solved it

#

first time ive ever had a weird pc issue like this ever

#

😭

hot shadow
#

yayyyy for putting more fake RAM in people's computers

hazy frost
#

Tidy ur cables

compact pine
#

well u did shove it in a 2 sq inch box

not my PC anyway dancedood

My fans for my cooler also have a short cable and I can’t get them to fit right

show off your RAM or something idc anymore

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoftRAM
maybe we should download SoftRAM for old time’s sake

SoftRAM and SoftRAM95 were system software products released by Syncronys Softcorp in the mid-1990s that claimed to increase or even double the available random-access memory in Microsoft Windows without the need for a hardware upgrade, which is possible using memory compression. However, it was later alleged the SoftRAM95 program utilized only ...

64 gb be enough

no rush

On the other hand. Another 64 gb will be overkill but can be used for something

lost python
#

steamframe literally making them reconsider lol

hazy frost
#

Valve on their way to make every gaming device market reconsider their plans and sort them out by undercutting their products lol

#

Being able to sell at a loss or small margins bc u can profit hugely off ur storefront turns out to be really useful

wide hill
#

you can use any steam product and not use steam if you want to

hazy frost
wide hill
#

and that includes the steam box, companies could just buy it as a desktop and never use it for steam

hazy frost
#

That’s a minority

wide hill
#

If it's cheaper than any pc

#

you would

hazy frost
#

That’s not even what I’m talking about

#

They have at least 2 other products too

wide hill
#

sure, two other products, you could probably still just pirate the games

#

it's an open platform

hazy frost
#

Where are u getting ur information though this is just ur opinion

#

Gabe already admitted openly the steam deck was sold at a loss or very small margins basically

wide hill
#

cause it is an open platform, it's linux, you can do anything with it

hazy frost
#

This has nothing to do with what I said tho

#

That’s still gonna be like 10% of people maybe

#

Vast majority of people who buy games WILL use steam because it’s supported very well on them and has the best deals anyway when u buy games

#

Ur just making up unrealistic scenarios for this

wide hill
#

unrealistic??

hazy frost
#

Hypotheticals don’t matter

hazy frost
#

Which is insane

#

U haven’t made any real point that refutes what I said

wide hill
#

the steam box cannot be sold at a loss cause you can install windows on it and use it for commercial use outside of just steam

hazy frost
#

Can doesn’t mean will

#

U absolutely can sell it at a loss knowing 90% of people will not use it like that

wide hill
#

prove it to me

hazy frost
#

At best it was barely profitable for the hardware

#

Wheres ur proof

wide hill
hazy frost
#

This has nothing to do with what I said…?

wide hill
#

what do you then mean by "undercutting their products" and "sell at a loss" when it's going to cost more

hazy frost
#

Again Whyre u talking about one specific product to make ur point versus the other two

#

And the literal thing I replied to was the VR not the steam machine initially

#

So this is just.. not relevant

wide hill
#

ok, so this was about the steam frame, aight

hazy frost
#

And steam deck

#

And tbh still could be the steam machine bc all they said is ‘it won’t be $500’

#

Clearly people spend more than that bc the ps5 pro is $750

#

No one expected that one to be $500 bc that’s just not realistic when it’s more powerful

wide hill
#

it's going to be difficult to find a right price for it, 700 dollars seems to be what people are predicting it might be

hazy frost
#

$700-750 is what I hope it will be

#

$800-850 would still put it better than most prebuilts rn tho

muted compass
#

Considering the ddr5 market that price seems just really speculatory rn no?

hot shadow
#
  1. they sell it anyway and not jack up price but it's going to be sold out then people will scalp super high
  2. they sell it anyway but jack up price like what japan companies keep doing at the slightest movement, it'll still be sold out but people are gonna bitch
#

those prices are fair

#

thank god for SignalRGB no longer being subscription only

#

now you can just buy a cheap few dollars effect and go from there

hazy frost
#

Also companies are not paying what we are to get ddr5 still

hot shadow
#

ya

hazy frost
#

Steam machine is 16gb they’re probably spending maybe like $50 more on it lol

hot shadow
#

they get a deal, theyre not end user

#

locked in prices for them

hazy frost
#

All u need from a user to recover the cost of an extra $50 is for them to buy like.. 2 new triple A games

#

Which is not a lot to ask of most gamers

#

Steam taking 30% usually

muted compass
#

Well it's also a matter of when it hikes up to their partners and company too then no? Though again you guys do prove a good point cuz i doubt it as well cuz the deck's price didnt really go any higher but lower even

#

During the 3 years of its release

hazy frost
#

Microsoft proved u can’t just hike the price to preserve ur margins with the Xbox recently lol

#

They tried and the stores basically didn’t sell them anymore

#

No one wants a $600 Xbox

muted compass
#

The thing is there's really nothing exclusive to the xbox console itself when it exists on pc, or in this case play station as well though...

The only reason why ps and nintendo still wins is because they have games that gives customers to buy their console cough their exclusives

hazy frost
#

PlayStation won bc instead of increasing price they downgraded internals that weren’t necessary to keep the same general performance and sold it at the original price to people

#

Which is infinitely smarter than ‘let’s just make it cost $100 more’

muted compass
#

Though id say it "tries" to be more innovative with their games like the haptics

hazy frost
#

Valve have every reason to just take the hit on the pricing bc their main product is steam being THE storefront for pc games and they take a big chunk of the sales as profit

muted compass
#

And accessories like psvr? Though it is niche and idk why someone would wanna buy psvr with its library

hazy frost
#

The average user spend a year across everyone would be like $120 on steam I think

#

So they can sell the steam deck or VR or steam machine and lose $100 but within 1 or 2 year(s) they’ve made it back if new customers follow that trend

#

It’s a bit idealistic but realistically people don’t upgrade for 4-6 years for most stuff so they would easily be breaking even on it

hazy frost
#

Mainly

#

It’s great with that

muted compass
hazy frost
#

Library is pretty big

The headset is like $400

Tried vr once on pc and most of the time i just play minecraft with it 💀💀💀

hazy frost
#

Currency diff

muted compass
#

Yeahhh im just making it from my perspective and experience... where the consumer just wants more bang for your buck

#

Also looking at the vrs library though

#

It did improve since launch

hot shadow
#

if you dont use VR for porn then you're usin it wrong

#

that's where the actual bang for buck is for everyone else

#

it's open secret anyway

hazy frost
hot shadow
#

yea VR is not a bang-for-buck territory at all

#

it's a novelty experience for disposable money people

hazy frost
#

None of it is good value for what u get out of it so u have to actually want VR specifically for smth

muted compass
#

Well using quest link works

hazy frost
#

Hoping valve one makes more games appear and atl mods for VR are easy then

hot shadow
#

if you want more bang-for-buck outta VR, you need to go learn 3d modeling and really get more out of it and enjoy your own creations, not just run around lookin at a buncha shit games and then vrchat once in a while

#

that's where all the real power users are

#

you can make a lot of art that way and step into it

#

even if you aren't that much artistic

#

like if your pet died you can go learn how to make a lil heaven for them

#

that kinda thing is basically what people been learning to do since covid made them stay indoors, they learn how to make avatars also

#

your gpu also can't be shit

hazy frost
#

Just play VR chat for 10000 hours

hot shadow
#

kek

#

it's p good for wandering

hazy frost
#

A lot of people who actually get their moneys worth play racing or other sim games

hot shadow
#

rn i think vket market is back up for events

#

yea racing sim and other immersive sim stuff is good.

#

but you need to be That Kind of Nerd to really feel it's worth

hazy frost
#

It’s very much for the crowd who put 100s-1000s of hours into one type of game and not much else

hot shadow
#

it's definitely cheaper than buying a real car then going to a track with it, a track that doesnt even exist where you are anyway

hazy frost
#

Ur not gonna find much new or variety that works on VR without u messing around on pc

muted compass
#

Actually i got a bit motionsick playing assetto in vr 😭😭😭

Though minecraft and fnaf in vr is much more immersive most pc vr games def have rare gems too

hot shadow
#

you should expand your horizons, there's a lot more in VR than just minecraft and fnaf and driving tho

hazy frost
hot shadow
#

even just hanging out with furries is chill w/e

#

hahahaha

hot shadow
hazy frost
hazy frost
#

Maintenance yeah but

hot shadow
#

ye

hazy frost
#

Up front cost is the same

#

Which is funny

hot shadow
#

rite but you can't switch sports car over n over, an index you just buy once

muted compass
hot shadow
#

even in that case

#

shooters in VR arent good theyre all fucking garbage

#

dont even bother honestly

hazy frost
#

Vive was £1300 or smth index was £1000+ extras

hazy frost
muted compass
hot shadow
#

at least you can get a workout doing high level beatsaber and yur.energy type shit like track your calories in a boxing cardio VR

#

and also w/e running ones

#

but you better hope your headset isn't chonky and heavy

hazy frost
#

VR and a treadmill

hot shadow
#

a lot of the fitness addicts in VR crowd went to go buy the beyond bigscreen 2 because it's small.

#

it's very very small and thin.

#

smallest on market

#

makes all quest feel like a piece of shit

hazy frost
#

It looks stupid tho

hot shadow
#

def but theyre getting hot irl for their effort so i doubt they care

#

i did lose 10 pounds bothering once when i borrowed my friend's last beyond bigscreen

hazy frost
#

Idk I just watch anime on the treadmill

hot shadow
#

i do also yea

hazy frost
#

Or listen to a podcast

hot shadow
#

it's just extra

hazy frost
#

Treadmill was £100 and anime is free

hot shadow
hazy frost
#

Headset £1000

#

I won

hot shadow
#

some people seem to be using it as vr spinclass too cause we all got some kind of bike in the garage here

#

was a very famous activity in vrchat for a while

hazy frost
#

Strange

hot shadow
#

there was also vr yoga

#

very american LOL

hazy frost
#

I mean it makes sense but spending £1000 on one for it is too crazy for me

#

I’m not upper middle class American enough

hot shadow
#

they dont spend 1000 on it just for that, i think they bought it just because 1000 was like w/e to them

#

and it was for social/new dimension of gaming after all

#

exercise use didnt come till later

hazy frost
#

Most of them probably dropped it after half a year anyway

#

If that

hot shadow
#

women spend way more on their hair than a headset anyway

#

and nails

#

so basically that's why it's so female in there cause they all got the cash

hazy frost
#

It would take me like 3-4 years

hot shadow
#

not even upper middle class it's like haircare, skincare, manipedi, nails outside of that, clothes shopping

#

is regular middle class

hazy frost
#

American thing

hot shadow
#

so they end up buying like 1-2 headsets per family

#

ya

hazy frost
#

People here don’t be spending that much on these things

#

It’s strange to me

hot shadow
#

yup

#

well they got the cash so they do yup

hazy frost
#

And I spend a lot on my appearance

hot shadow
#

esp the black community spends a lot on their hair idk if you knew that

hazy frost
#

Just I can’t even understand what spending even more would get me lmao

hot shadow
#

because they have a lot of pressure to be perfect

hazy frost
#

People here spend a lot just not close to that amount on average

hot shadow
#

spending analytics basically found out women here tend to throw like 900 bucks a year into hair on avg

#

that's a headset haHAA

hazy frost
#

They’re getting ripped off

hot shadow
#

color, cuts, other maint, haircare outside of that, products

hazy frost
#

Poor women

hot shadow
#

extensions

#

sometimes wigs

hazy frost
#

It’s like half that to do all u would want here

hot shadow
#

lower avg is like 600 bucks a year cause theyre prob doin nails

hazy frost
#

Unless ur dyeing it 4 times a year

#

To a different colour each time not touching up what u had

#

Wild

hot shadow
#

it is wild to me too because i dont go beyond 100 bux a year on hair...?

#

idk i havent dyed it either or done extension

hazy frost
#

Extensions are stupid

#

Just grow ur hair

#

It came free with being a person

#

And then u have to get them repeatedly so just get a wig

there's some 130 dollar rn

ya if you go super far back in monitor gen then it'll be half that

theyre no longer 60hz these days too

It's a sensor that 3d scans your face

modern iris
#

my phone don’t be wanting to open

hazy frost
#

it doesnt

#

by nature of how it works

modern iris
#

that’s cool then

#

so samsung has sucky face recognition

tepid gulch
#

Android will never have face id

hazy frost
#

every phone that isnt apple does

modern iris
#

and apple better but expensive

tepid gulch
#

Because apple pens the sensor technology

#

Owns

hazy frost
#

u wont be saving money and getting the same performance

#

samsung flagship same price or more in some places, google same, xiaomi barely cheaper, oneplus barely cheaper

#

sony not cheaper

modern iris
#

mmm so okay im staying with apple and they’re 60 dollar charger

hazy frost
#

just.. dont buy their charger

modern iris
#

i might aswell as i own the entire apple ecosystem

hazy frost
#

u can own their phone and nto buy any of their overpriced crap

#

apple make good main products and all accessories etc are abysmal garbage

tepid gulch
#

I'd just get an Anker charger

hazy frost
#

yeah

#

theyre cheap

modern iris
#

yes that is true i have a charger hanging on by the threads

#

it looks like a fire hazard

tepid gulch
#

Anker is better than the Apple ones and cheaper

#

And is "apple certified"

modern iris
#

ima look it up

hazy frost
#

anker is £20 for the brick and £10 for the cable

#

for a 30w one

modern iris
#

that’s sm cheaper then apples

#

me gonna buy next check

hazy frost
#

the apple brick is 65w and £60

#

the 60w anker one is £30

#

anker stuff is just better anyway

tepid gulch
#

15.99 on Amazon

hazy frost
modern iris
#

ayy that’s good prices

tepid gulch
#

Anker cables I'll vouch for

hazy frost
#

i only use them

tepid gulch
#

I've used them for many years

#

Me too

hazy frost
#

ive broken the rubber round the end of mine but its not exposed anything and it took about a year ofbending it

#

and i have another one somewhere bc i got 2

tepid gulch
#

I have several sitting around

#

I also have some ugreen stuff

#

Same quality

hazy frost
#

ugreen too expensive

modern iris
#

mmm how much

tepid gulch
#

Some of their stuff is cheaper

hazy frost
#

ugreen charge twice as much for their charging bricks

tepid gulch
#

They have the same part supplier

#

As Anker

#

It's the same shit

hazy frost
#

yeah just one costs mroe

#

their cables are twice the price and bricks are 1.5-2x the price

modern iris

good fuck twice is a bit

price: 60-120 USD
weight: probably below 90 grams

idk ive used the naga for like

#

4 years

#

i know nothing else

#

im used to throwing it around cause its heavy as hell so probably have to get acclimated to a lighter mouse

muted compass
#

im also gonna assume its an mmo mouse your looking for yeah? The only problem is either its cheap and still slightly lighter by 4 grams or 89g but absolutely expensive 😭

warped siren
# dire viper price: 60-120 USD weight: probably below 90 grams

i bought the naga for that and it was useless

#

my hands are ginormous

#

my thumb is the width of two side buttons

warped siren
#

its pretty comfortable

#

though this is my first actual MMO mouse so i dont have any other frame of reference

dire viper
#

yea thats not bad

muted compass
#

its 95g but its pretty light though... since you mentioned with how big your hands are it could be small

dire viper
#

I acknowledge that no mouse will be actually comfortable for me unless its an insane ergo one

muted compass
#

I have the naga v2 and it's a lil big so i use the g305 or the viper mini as my daily mice

muted compass
#

this is bigger and lighter too if you ever take a look at em at your local best buy/computer store

dire viper
#

i might just buy that one

muted compass
#

I really like the viper series just fits my hand especially when i used to play shooters i really would recommend that more than the g305 tbh

dire viper
#

if i wasnt a razer user already i would be opposed but i understand the ecosystem they have and how to not have shit suck

muted compass
#

Tbh most pc peripheral softwares suck and im ngl even razer's software is really annoying TT

#

the only good part with having a naga and viper is that I dont have to worry about any more bloatware 🧍‍♀️

dire viper
#

yea synapse sucked so bad a while ago, an update mustve broke it or something, and i literally just set the naga how i wanted and then uninstalled synapse

#

my naga is an og one, same with my razer huntsman

#

got them on clearence for like 100 bucks total years ago

muted compass
#

oh that's pretty fair i just got the naga cuz it felt better on my hand compared to the ones best buy was selling

#

and it was on sale for 99cad

#

and... wireless

dire viper
#

wireless mouse will be weird as hell for me

#

i dont even got a wireless controller in my house i still use an og blue dualshock 3 and only use it via plugging it into my computer

odd talon
#

Wireless funnily enough is smooth for me

dire viper
#

yea

#

i need to get a new dualshock 3 cause mine came with our og ps3

#

the sticks are like... on and off now

my mouse is very heavy

tbh i found heavy weights are really nice to use esp the naga's if im using it a lot but the lightweight mice are really good for shooters lol

just like how people switch keyboards if theyre an enthusiast about it, it makes even more sense to have 2 gaming mice you can rely on for diff genres

ah yeah, the 'yes' man gpt

Interesting script

tepid gulch
#

I saw a prebuilt at Costco today that seemed like it is pre memory increase prices

#

32gb ddr5 6000, 9800x3d and a 5070 for 1499

#

Actually I feel like that's just a steal even pre memory price hikes

hazy frost
#

It wasn’t

#

Even now that’s just like the price of the hardware

#

But u could also do a lot better for $1500 bc the choices of cpu and gpu suck

hot shadow
#

but only if it's significantly lower

tepid gulch
#

A 9800x3d sucks?

#

Compared to what

#

NASA?

hazy frost
#

No but the 5070 does

#

It’s like saying yeah buy this $1000 pc with a 12900k and a 3060 bc the 12900k is good

#

That’s what all prebuilts are like

#

U will never be using that cpu with the gpu unless all u do is play sim games

tepid gulch
#

I mean like is the 5080 twice as good as the 5070? Because that's the next tier up and they're 500 vs 1000 $

hazy frost
#

It’s not the next tier up the 5070ti is

#

And it’s $750 vs $500

#

U can buy a 7800x3d + 9070 for $1500 too

tepid gulch
#

The cheapest 5080 I see online is 1049.99

hazy frost
#

I just said not a 5080

tepid gulch
#

Ih

#

I misread

hazy frost
#

The 5080 is not the next card up

#

The 5070 is dogshit card

#

12GB of vram and just 4070super performance for $500

#

9070 is $550 and faster and 16gb

#

And then 7800x3d is $110 less than a 9800x3d so u could probably get a 9070xt too

#

Prebuilts that are ‘worth the price’ are still not worth the money mostly bc they’re still bad configurations

#

Like $1500 for a 9950x3d and 5060ti is technically priced fairly
