[umbral moss]

the problem with deposits is that if you take a small deposit and refund it immediately after it may trigger fraud protection

[kindred brook]

Ohhhhhh

[sly elk]

ah yes black friday aka "buy a new flat screen tv please" day

[late basalt]

No refund unless you don’t actually complete the purchase

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[umbral moss]

yeah, but that still means a lot of people who got coal for christmas

and a lot of refund transactions to process

[sly elk]

yea I'm surprised they don't limit 1 card per credit card per month or something

[late basalt]

Could always pass it off as a fee, so now you don’t need to refund it

[umbral moss]

you're talking 100k people and only 250 cards

[late basalt]

[umbral moss]

more like "give us a deposit and we'll allocate you a card with a 48 hour purchase window when it comes into stock"

[sly elk]

per card / shipping address / phone number (verified via text message)

indeed

like the evga queue

[late basalt]

Per card/billing address

[umbral moss]

evga's queue system is slow but it does work

[late basalt]

Not shipping

[sly elk]

can confirm

that's where i got my 3080ti

[late basalt]

Billing address is tied into the card details

[umbral moss]

I want to skip the 30 generation entirely

[deep sapphire]

Ngl I’m hoping to score a Milwaukee impact wrench hahaha

[sly elk]

gl 🙂

[deep sapphire]

Milwaukee pisses me off because all the deals are on crappy brushed motors

[sly elk]

-gets out a pittsburgh impact wrench- only the best ugga duggas

[deep sapphire]

Never have good deals on the Fuel line

[deep sapphire]

Lmao

Harbor freight has some decent stuff sometimes

[late basalt]

Not sure where specifically you are, but give bidfta.com a look

[deep sapphire]

No shame in using their wrenches

[deep sapphire]

I’ll check that out thanks

[late basalt]

You can find good deals n steals there if it’s got a local place to you

[sly elk]

I don't have any lol

[umbral moss]

I mean, if you're only looking to use it three or four times in your life harbor freight tools are fine

[sly elk]

the nearest harbor freight is a good 20 mins away

[late basalt]

Picked up a laser cutter and 3d printer off there for ~90 hours each

Would “retail” for 2-300 normally

[umbral moss]

laser cutter

[deep sapphire]

Oh nice

[latent grotto]

we can't shove and punch people online

so next best thing is skipping the queue

[sly elk]

so whenever i need a tool i usually buy something from amazon or from lowes

i like my kobalt sockets

[umbral moss]

honestly, if we could punch people online you'd see a whole lot less hot take action

[sly elk]

and then there's my dad's old tools. i have all his socket wrench stuff and a hammer that is probably older than i am

[umbral moss]

kobalt makes bretty gud stuff, project farm did a review of cutting pliers and they're mad good for the price

like, they weren't the absolute best on test but considering they cost like $15

[late basalt]

Harbor freight isn’t too bad for one off or infrequent uses tbh

[umbral moss]

ye

it's perfect for someone who's like "I need a specialized tool" and also "but I only plan on using it twice ever"

[late basalt]

Hell, the arbor press I got from there is still working fine

[umbral moss]

rip, my surface is slowly dying because the brick died on saturday

[late basalt]

Though I need to modify the arm or w/e the hell its called still

Don’t have a drill press to do so though

[sly elk]

cowards

[umbral moss]

$96 shipping for a $20 item

[sly elk]

could be worse

[umbral moss]

how is that worse?

that seems like an extremely useful PSU to have since its sole function is to provide reliable +12V output up to 2kW

[sly elk]

wait that one isn't 90+ gold

[umbral moss]

don't need it to drive any other ATX/logic voltages

just a 12V 2kW output

[sly elk]

the first one does other voltages

[wide hill]

that one looks sketchy

[sly elk]

but yea, mostly 12v haha

my favorite ones have a list of wattages on the side that someone checks off with a permanent marker

also the 2400w units that are smaller than a typic 1000w unit

[umbral moss]

yeah, because they're using higher efficiency parts

[sly elk]

the weird part is this stuff is pretty expensive

like $139 for a 850w power supply from game max

why not spend less on something from corsair or whatever lol

[umbral moss]

$139 seems awful cheap

[sly elk]

I guess because they use superior chinese engineering?

[dull garnet]

yo a 90 plus gold!

[umbral moss]

I remember seeing 1300W PSUs that went for like $300 last time I went PC parting

did they pull the bottom out on PSU prices because of miners

[sly elk]

finally someone notices why i laughed at that 😄

[deep sapphire]

Puts harbor freight’s lack of safety to shame

Is Google-Fi trying to make me hate its service with this fucking annoying ads?

Did they decide that they have too much money and that they could stand to lose some?

[dull garnet]

GT is kewl

[buoyant falcon]

Because no matter how good this service is, there will always be that roadblock of me associating it with these obnoxious singing ads.

[dull garnet]

shame Yamauchi got a motorsport boner and stopped making the games fun

[dull garnet]

love seeing 90s game dev studios

[modern iris]

Does anyone know if your customized settings in FFXIV carry over to other computers? I'm still working on my desired settings on my desktop (it's going to take a while), and I was wondering if all my hard work would transfer over to my laptop if I downloaded the game to my laptop too.

[dull garnet]

you'd have to copy the local files, I think

located at C:\Users\<user>\Documents\my games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn

[modern iris]

Thanks!

[dull garnet]

GT3 still looks incredible on an era appropriate display

that video wasn't for people that know GT

[fickle stratus]

Agreed

Imagine being the person who approved those ads

"This looks great"

[dull garnet]

where are you seeing ads

[fickle stratus]

Everywhere on YouTube mobile

[dull garnet]

[cinder badge]

There is the option to upload your configuration info so that you can download it on other clients.

[exotic stirrup]

Heyy

I'm having crashes from directX anyone having same issue?

I haven't found solutions anywhere yet maybe it is hardware related, it happens in other Square Enix games like the kingdom hearts remskes

[dull garnet]

think a gpu driver update is usually the first step

[exotic stirrup]

Will do thanks

[glossy timber]

I wonder if there's a way to make my monitor not be a total bitch

If i turn off whats connected to it and try to swap input it has to power off then back on, but if I swap source while its still shutting down it doesn't do this

[deep sapphire]

have you tried not doing this tbh

[glossy timber]

i just wanna switch from my switch to pc without my monitor having a stroke

[deep sapphire]

what monitor do you have

[glossy timber]

lemme

acer predator x34 iirc

[deep sapphire]

thats the problem

[glossy timber]

its a good monitor, it's just one stupid quirk

[latent grotto]

can't have pc and switch connected at the same time?

[potent arrow]

I use a kvm for this shit lol

Had a few dell monitors do that when switching between PCs

[glossy timber]

one's on hdmi and one's on displayport, they're both connected but when the display loses signal it forces itself to power down but not fully switch off

[latent grotto]

lol

[potent arrow]

So it's just one input with four PCs

[glossy timber]

but yeah sarah's suggestion would fix that issue

real talk why are tv's and monitors so far behind in terms of OSD and such

like smart tv's are genuine dog ass

and OSD's are just wrong

[potent arrow]

God said no is why

[glossy timber]

I guess a lot of this stuff comes from japan and they still use faxes so we're fucked

[latent grotto]

too much work

i mean

we still have fax machines in my work office

i don't think they see huge use but theres still some traffic with them

[potent arrow]

Hospitals use fax machines alot

[latent grotto]

like to pharmacies?

[potent arrow]

Yep

And other hospitals

My dad's company uses it heavily too so if the construction industry too

[latent grotto]

also sarah i tried looking for some erx

they're all sold out and the ones that can still be bought are scalped

[glossy timber]

I haven't seen a single fax machine in the uk in years

are you guys okay over there

[latent grotto]

we're in murica

you tell me

[dull garnet]

just had to troubleshoot ff14 not starting... it was because i did not install gshade yet on my new winblows install

well, 4 messages since many hours ago

or the original with the cpu latch going down!

[dull garnet]

Gotta use mayo

[visual fossil]

Just curious but is 70c for CPU bad while playing this game or is that alright?

[untold onyx]

That depends on the game and the ambient temperature that the computer is in.

CPU as well

[latent grotto]

70C is fine

Lower is better but you're not thermal throttling at that temp

[eager sandal]

can this chat answer my terraria issues too

[pseudo frigate]

oh that happens to me when i resize my game too often

LOL

[pseudo frigate]

no, but Zura can

i can also answer relationship issues

but they won't help you

ohh i should probably avoid doing that then lmao

[quaint spear]

I wonder....

anyone else think Xbox is better than PS5 hardware wise this time around?

the discless PS5 is just a PS5 w/o a disc.

the discless Xbox series S has less capabilities ...

and the two Xboxes look different, too

[potent arrow]

Doesn't matter none of them actually exist

[lost gust]

is it possible to ask the devs about ffxiv and amd gpus? it can't be possible that i get every day a stupid error..

[deep sapphire]

The sad reality is AMD market share is laughably bad compared to nvidia, AMD has never made good drivers in its entire history which includes ATI so it’s not really ff it’s more team Red. Nvidia has 80+ percent market share and developers are more keen to work with them

[lost gust]

i hate nvidia...

[deep sapphire]

I dont, because they make a product that works lol

I dont give a shit who does what behind the scenes, I am a consumer and one with limited time. I dont want to purchase something out of ethics I purchase something because it works and I dont have to sit there wasting my weekend fixing shit

[glossy timber]

Neither company is an angel

Buying based on company loyalty is 5head

[deep sapphire]

I ONLY BUY BOWTIE

EVEN WHEN ITS SHIT

[lost gust]

i hate nvidia because not that their products works, because they make his own graphiccards so fucking dumb expensive

[deep sapphire]

they are almost identical in price

maybe not in the EU but nvidia has never had good prices in much of the EU

in America they are slightly more expensive but I'll pay 100 dollars more for a product that works

[lost gust]

so u would pay 500-600€ more here in EU too? Because the cheapest gpu by nividia is ~2000€

[deep sapphire]

the prices for both are ridiculous rn in general

[latent grotto]

Its probably gonna be years before gpu prices look normal

[lost gust]

but i had no chance to buy a nvidia gpu because less money

so it was then the rx 6900 xt

[deep sapphire]

welp

guess you'll have to move to america

[latent grotto]

Rip same as me

Except there just wasn't any 3080 or 3090 at microcenter that day

Well there wasn't anything except for i think a gtx 1660

[glossy timber]

At that point I'd just take a used card

Fuck all that noise

[lost gust]

well i can import from the usa but that will be more expensive

[kindred brook]

https://www.pcmag.com/news/read-it-and-weep-heres-how-bad-nvidia-gpu-prices-got-in-a-single-year

[lost gust]

problem is that you can buy the amd and nvidia gpus when they launching them, but your forget the custom gpus that is a bigger problem to buy them

[kindred brook]

rip

[lost gust]

isnt worth to buy the gpus by amd or nvidia only the customs my opinion

[hard drift]

Not true, depends on use case plus the price increase in the US was going to happen due to tariffs

The models from both amd and nvidia are decent plus can always put a waterblock on it later if need be

[deep sapphire]

god nvidia is great

just another fantastic product by the Americans

can the U.S. do no wrong?

[lost gust]

oops

i dont want to delete that lol

[deep sapphire]

USA! USA! USA!

[sly elk]

Custom GPUs? You mean like from asus and evga and stuff? Those are overpriced like hell

And honestly which engineers are going to be better

Highly paid nvidia engineers

Or engineers at some random Taiwanese company that can’t write their manuals in proper English

What am I getting for paying $500 more than an FE card? An extraordinarily tacky heat sink shroud and cheaper components where possible

At least evga is American

[sick violet]

Heyaa, total pc newbie here. Been playing ff on a ps since the day but now looking for a Laptop to play on. Do i Need a Gaming Laptop or would a „normal“ one be enough to get ff14 to run (Not on max graphics) - for example would this one be enough? Angebot des Tages: HUAWEI MateBook D 15, Intel Core i3-10110U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15,6 Zoll Laptop, 1080p FHD FullView Display, Schlankes Metallgehäuse, Windows 10 Home, Fingerabdrucksensor, QWERTZ-Layout, Space Grau https://www.amazon.de/dp/B095C351TP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_dl_6NZYPAEEV74PF1HY20H9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 thank you guys

[wide hill]

you probably want a gpu to run the game

intel integrated graphics isn't very good to play the game on

[prime solstice]

does anyone else play this game on PC with a PS4 controller? I've always played with controller on PC, but now all of a sudden the game doesn't respond to the controller. my computer recognizes it and there's nothing wrong with the controller. I even tried a PS5 controller and it's the same thing..... halp? 😭

[reef coral]

Hey tech nerds

Need some advice

Been having thermal problems for a while

Around 100c

So

Cleaned my rig recently and keep running into problems

I have a feeling I changed the directions on my fans by mistake

Currently testing by changing fans directions and testing with halo

[latent grotto]

Is that under a load or at idle?

[latent grotto]

If you try recalibrating the controller does it detect your inputs?

And you're not using something like ds4windows right?

[latent grotto]

That could hurt the performance but it shouldn't cause it to hit 100C. That sounds more like improperly mounted cooler or you forgot thermal paste

[late basalt]

Yea, hitting 100C is a fucked up remount job tbh

[dull garnet]

Or you have Levant's pc

[reef coral]

Both

It differs

One a fresh boot after long time without use it idles around 60 to 79

What I’m looking at

[late basalt]

Idling 60+ means there’s something fucked up

Mine idles at half of that

[reef coral]

Don’t know what it could be

I do clean it about every two months

Re placed the paste already about 4 months ago

[late basalt]

If you’re removing the block every time you clean it, stop it. It’s unnecessary

[reef coral]

Block?

I just dust it

[latent grotto]

Do you have an aio? Air cooler?

[reef coral]

I got an push and pull cooler

Truth be told I don’t know if it’s a water cooler or not

Been thinking of replacing my entire cooler with a corsair h150i rgb pro xt

[bitter tartan]

a what

Does it have a heatsink

Or a radiator

[reef coral]

Radiator

I’ve been told it’s a push and pull

I don’t know computers.

[late basalt]

Probably lost fluid volume then if it’s a radiator

[reef coral]

The rig is a bit old

Pre built

Need to figure out how to even replace the fluid

[latent grotto]

Some aios won't let you refill it

[reef coral]

Oh

[latent grotto]

Yours might idk you'd need to look for it

[reef coral]

Yeaaaaah

Truth bet old my rig was given to me as a kid

Tried to look more into it, the page where my folks got it didn’t give much

Been doing research into a corsair h150i rgb pro xt

This thing Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Pro XT, 240mm Radiator https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0829S536D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_C7E83HTDAZNS2ZH77D0Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Measured the actual size and it should fit in the front case

[potent arrow]

Push pull is a configuration

Basically how the fans are orientated in your case

Another thing is

If your CPU is hot check
1/the paste on your cooler
2/the mount on your cooler

[glossy timber]

Have you checked your car's extended warranty while you're at it

[potent arrow]

One more thing
AIO doesn't mean better cooling necessarily

[reef coral]

Imagine having a car

[potent arrow]

Sigh

[glossy timber]

Have you checked your bikes extended warranty

[reef coral]

Honestly there is a lot I want to do

Think I should get a cooler.

First before anything else

[glossy timber]

I mean thermal paste is cheap as dirt you might as well try repasting what you got

[reef coral]

I got 4 of them ready to go

Usually buy stuff like that in bulk

Just need to research what I can work with my case size and all that

[latent grotto]

I still havent even gone through one tube of thermal paste yet

[reef coral]

The only worry I got about the cooler o showed is I don’t know if it’ll fit 100% right

[potent arrow]

Damian, just saying you probably don't need an aio

Save some money and hassle and get an air cooler

[deep sapphire]

[reef coral]

Honestly I’m going off what people say online. I don’t naught about computers stuff

[potent arrow]

I generally don't buy them for clients unless there is a space constriction

Or if they want fancy rgb

[potent arrow]

Hi ;-;

[deep sapphire]

Hi Sarah

[reef coral]

What would you suggest for a gen 1 i7 7700k?

[potent arrow]

Uhm

First

That's not a gen 1

[bitter tartan]

Ol' Reliable?

[potent arrow]

Lol

[reef coral]

It says gen 1

I’m just goin off that

[deep sapphire]

That’s 7th gen

[glossy timber]

It's the first number in the longer string 7700k thus 7th

[reef coral]

Oh

I’ll write this down

[deep sapphire]

[bitter tartan]

afaik, ol' reliable still holds up

[potent arrow]

1st gen would be a an a tiny little chip wouldn't it be? I'm not even sure how far back Intel's gens go

[glossy timber]

Prolly just grab a noctua, ol faithful will do you for life

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

just find a local repair guy

[bitter tartan]

either

NH-U12A

or a Hyper 212EVO

[glossy timber]

NH-U12A is always a good bet tbh

[bitter tartan]

either of those is a good bet
Noctua one a bit of a better bet

212 is too good for it's price

[reef coral]

And a prettier color

[bitter tartan]

[glossy timber]

Lmao

[bitter tartan]

yes

a prettier color

that's why they get complaints

about it's ugly beige

and brown

[glossy timber]

Yeah

[bitter tartan]

and have a whole Chromax lineup

[potent arrow]

I just put Chromax on them lol

[glossy timber]

That image makes it look nicer than it is

[glossy timber]

This is devious lighting

[bitter tartan]

[reef coral]

So basically replace the radiator fans and the radiator itself with that

[potent arrow]

But yeah...just a U12A will be fine

[glossy timber]

But yeah they look fine and cool like a beast

[potent arrow]

???

We are saying skip and aio

[bitter tartan]

bruh

no

You can't put that on a radiator

[potent arrow]

We are suggesting these coolers lol

[reef coral]

Look I’m basically a 5 years old I’m thus

[bitter tartan]

I mean
You could

But bad idea

[modest moss]

find a local professional who will fix it

please

[potent arrow]

LOL

[glossy timber]

Find shue irl they'll fix it

[bitter tartan]

NH-U12A is around 120 buckaroos

[potent arrow]

Shue is old he can't leave the house

[glossy timber]

That's fine they'll come in the house

[reef coral]

No I mean replace the current cooler I have (which is a aio) with a air cooler

[modest moss]

I have covid I can't do shit

[bitter tartan]

212 is 1/3rd that

[potent arrow]

OHHH you have an aio and it's running hot?

[glossy timber]

Quitter talk

[reef coral]

Ye

[potent arrow]

Yeaaah replace it

[glossy timber]

I wish mobile discord didn't sometimes send me into space when I reply

[modest moss]

please just send him to fucking geek squad or something

[potent arrow]

Fluid is probably gone

[reef coral]

I’m assuming it is. The actual page that holds the parts are vague as hell since this is a old pre built

[bitter tartan]

so they can recommend him a 1200 motherboard repair?

[potent arrow]

Dryer the shue in NN

[glossy timber]

I don't think I've ever had an aio go dry on me

[potent arrow]

I've had quite a bit of clients needing a new aio after three years

Esp with corsair

[reef coral]

By the looks of it is a liquid cool cooler so the fluid is most likely gone. And I just want to play halo

[bitter tartan]

You happen to have a link to it?

[reef coral]

I’ll look into

[glossy timber]

Man mines like 5 years old

[reef coral]

NH-U12A

[potent arrow]

Also Damian save the fans on the radiator

[bitter tartan]

ye

[potent arrow]

Stick them onto the front of your case for intake

[latent grotto]

Can just mount them to the case as an exhaust/intake

[reef coral]

Ye got you https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-240gb-solid-state-drive-2tb-hard-drive-black-red/5600310.p?skuId=5600310

[potent arrow]

And for the love of god watch a video on how to mount the cooler

[reef coral]

Oh trust me

I ain’t gonna do anything till I watch 15 reviews, 70 guides and have like 3 cups of coffee

[latent grotto]

Huh

That case looks like it has horrible airflow

Lol

[bitter tartan]

homie said 1st gen

[potent arrow]

Why are you suprised

It's ibuypower

[reef coral]

Changing my thermal paste gave me mad stress from worrying i screw it up

[bitter tartan]

wait

[latent grotto]

Still better than a dell

[bitter tartan]

[latent grotto]

[potent arrow]

Not really

That meme annoys the fuck out of me

[reef coral]

I had a feel that was the case. Heard lots of bad things of prebuilt being built dumly

[potent arrow]

I have more dell optiplex gaming rigs that last longer then ibuypowers lol

[bitter tartan]

ok but problem

Website, and reviews, say it's air cooled

[latent grotto]

[reef coral]

Might be the wrong one

I just googled my specs and I buy power

[bitter tartan]

no nvm, diff review has an aio

[reef coral]

My cooler has a radiator but no brand name on it

[potent arrow]

I had multiple Ibp machines that had a fan SEAL and pressed up against the glass

[bitter tartan]

like dis, ye?

[potent arrow]

Like homie that shit gonna do nothing

[reef coral]

Yup

One to one

[bitter tartan]

holy shit those cables around the tubes lmfao

[potent arrow]

Damian if you take a picture of your aio CPU block

[reef coral]

So a lot of this isn’t even on me.

[potent arrow]

We could probably tell what it is

[reef coral]

Or sure give me a sec

[potent arrow]

Heeeey damiaaaaan

[bitter tartan]

Tubes down, good enough

[potent arrow]

I knowww why your CPU is running hooot

[reef coral]

Btw that ain’t me

[potent arrow]

Jesus fucking ccchhhhrrrist

OH OK

[reef coral]

That’s exactly how it was when I got it

Just copied it

[latent grotto]

Is the pc on right now?

[reef coral]

Since I k ow fuck all of it

Naw

[potent arrow]

But did you

Wait

Damian is this your pc

This picture

[reef coral]

Took a quick pic since I got to bounce for work

[potent arrow]

Because that radiator

Is CLOGGED

[reef coral]

Yes. Think about 4 year now?

[bitter tartan]

Dust the rad

[latent grotto]

Also whys that mounted as an intake

[reef coral]

Won’t lie

[bitter tartan]

like between the fins

[potent arrow]

shit even if it had fluid in it that shit ain't DOING ANYTHING

[reef coral]

It realllly bad. Tried dusting it super hard. Didn’t do much

[bitter tartan]

also yeah, fan is wrong way

[potent arrow]

Damian

[potent arrow]

That's fine

Damian

[reef coral]

Might need a swim in some magical cleaning stuff

[potent arrow]

Listen to me

[sly elk]

the radiator doesn't look clogged to me

[potent arrow]

Take off the fan

[sly elk]

but yea try blowing it off

[potent arrow]

Take off the block

[sly elk]

also it's setup as an intake

[potent arrow]

And when fan is off

And the aio is out of the case

[sly elk]

lol what's the fan on the other side doing

[potent arrow]

Run the radiator under the sink

[reef coral]

Oh

[latent grotto]

Dunno

[potent arrow]

Untill you can see through it

[latent grotto]

[sly elk]

take a picture of the back?

[reef coral]

Honestly didn’t think of that. Always told to@avoid water like a plague

[potent arrow]

It's probably clogged if they haven't cleaned it in FOUR YEARS

[sly elk]

also you can try just using a can of air and blasting the radiator with it

oh yea

oh yeah lol

[potent arrow]

FOUR YEARS

[reef coral]

It isn’t as bad. Gotta Bonce for work

[sly elk]

radiators tend to need a cleaning at least yearly

[potent arrow]

Trust me I've done enough tech work

[sly elk]

it has to be worse

we're seeing the back of this fan, which means it's an intake

[reef coral]

So

[bitter tartan]

flip the whole rad

[reef coral]

Run the radiator under the sink

[sly elk]

if the other fan is also an intake (and it better be), then the other side of the radiator is probably covered in dust

[potent arrow]

Just dry it

Like leave it on a towel

Don't press on it because the fins are easily bent

Don't scrub it

[sly elk]

or just blow a can of air on it and then you don't need water

[potent arrow]

Don't do anything

[sly elk]

but if you do that, push from the cleaner side

[potent arrow]

Air doesn't get enough of it out

[sly elk]

so you're not blowing the crap into the radiator >>

[potent arrow]

Esp if it's really dirty

[reef coral]

Yeaaaaaah

He right

[sly elk]

at 4 years old there's also a chance that the fluid itself had some kinda reaction and gummed up the water block

[potent arrow]

Well

[sly elk]

but cleaning it first is worth trying

[reef coral]

At least

If it dust free it can actually work a hellva lot better than it is

[latent grotto]

Just like ford

Built ford tough

[reef coral]

I’ll definitely give that a try tomorrow. Have the day off then

Well that definitely kills the anxiety of messing with space tech for me

[modest moss]

yes, I'm kinda fucked up rn

[late basalt]

Except mounting cpu fans

Those

Fucking

Clips

https://tenor.com/view/angry-andre-sitolini-engetic-butthurt-gif-14985012

I don’t buy AMD

Never have, never will

🤔 and it’s a Corsair fan iirc

I just mean the tension clips that hold the block the cpu

Those fuckers are a pain in the ass

Didn’t help I also had to remove one of the IC heat sinks off the mobo to get the fan on first

Otherwise I couldn’t even teach one of the tabs on the bracket

Reach*

Oh, it’s a thermaltake

https://www.newegg.com/thermaltake-ux200-argb-lighting-cl-p065-al12sw-a/p/N82E16835106595

Works great tbh

Never really hear it unless I’m really pushing the cpu

Think hottest I’ve seen it was ~62C

[dull garnet]

That is the saddest aio I've ever seen

Yee

[glossy timber]

Okay but

60mm aio when

Nice

[latent grotto]

Ok but how about 24mm aio

[glossy timber]

Is there an actual point to that or are they meming

[sly elk]

those are really interesting looking

a 120mm probably works about as well as a hyper 212 lol

the metal clips thing is definitely something I hate on heatsinks

[dull garnet]

I'd think worse

[sly elk]

and now that I used that example, I was unpleasantly surprised about that with the hyper 212 black I bought for my brother's rig haha

those clips are gross

i was tempted to get some large self-tapping screws and just screw the fan into the heatsink fins, the old fashioned way

[dull garnet]

They are gross but you're not using them often sooooooo

[sly elk]

admittedly, I mess around with my computer enough I prefer things to be easy 😄

[dull garnet]

oo er

[odd sand]

I'm honestly shocked my AIO from 2012 is still working decently. Did a Prime95 stress test recently and still maxes out around 73C

[sly elk]

It's pretty rare and I think it only happens when they cheap out

like if they mix aluminum and copper

or if they use a bad formula for the liquid

in my case, I bought a refurb alienware tower really cheap in 2013. a year later the water cooler totally crapped out and, from what I read online, it was pretty common for that one particular unit

replaced it with an h80i and it lasted until I decided I didn't wanna give my bro a machine with a 6 year old water cooler lol

[odd sand]

I forget what I put on my old build when I gave it to friends

Probably a hyper212evo. Those are hard to go wrong with.

Splurged on putting a 1660super in there in the beforetimes when they were $225

[sly elk]

well done!

[sly elk]

man this retroflag gpi is a really nice device.. it's like the gameboy I wished I had when I had a gameboy 😄

I really wanna know why they made the raspberry pi zero go inside the cartridge slot though

did they imagine people would swap devices out using different cartridge packs?

[sly elk]

for all the whining from the woke cloud, I still use firefox lol

i just hope it eventually gets new maintainers that actually work on it

[deep sapphire]

I use netsh powershell custom hypertext browser

jk that doesnt exist

or does it

[sly elk]

they kinda pissed off all the neckbeards

by expressing opinions that went against their.. err.. sensitivities I suppose

lol

[deep sapphire]

whats all this technology speak, I wanna talk about cars

jk

firefox is better

it use to really suck when it was single threaded up the ass

having 4 tabs open, good luck

[sly elk]

lol

yea I haven't had any performance issues with it in a long time

the only problem is once in a blue moon I'll find a site that doesn't work right outside of chrome

it's always something like ordering food or some medical website or something

where using any other browser just gets you a blank screen or animated "..."

[deep sapphire]

haha

[sly elk]

filtering everything through pihole and using ublock origin & eff privacy badger will naturally do that too

mm someday I should start using noscript again

[deep sapphire]

the funny thing about classics is they somehow always stay relevant

[dull garnet]

i use ||brave||

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

and firefox has the best themes ^_^

[deep sapphire]

lets see if a chevy theme exists

firefox 2.0, now that was a browser

[deep sapphire]

I can see this hasnt been updated in awhile

[deep sapphire]

weeb

what was that macOS variant of firefox

before they said fuck it

and made firefox multi plat

Camino or something

[sly elk]

aye!

firefox was always multi platform

[deep sapphire]

https://caminobrowser.org/

hey I was right

[sly elk]

it's just that back in those days, the firefox UI was kinda clunky looking compared to the Mac UI

so some nerds made an aqua frontend for it and called it Chimera

[deep sapphire]

based

[sly elk]

then they got in trouble and had to rename it to Camino

[deep sapphire]

macOS chads

[sly elk]

lol honestly you can thank Apple for the browser wars

but really microsoft

when mac os x came out, apple packaged it with internet explorer

but by then microsoft had been neglecting internet explorer for mac and it was really pathetically slow

so people were looking for alternatives

it made a bit of a browser war between firefox, opera, icab, etc

then a lot of web devs realized they didn't have to do all that crazy shit to support IE

to me the funniest thing is all this chromium stuff started with KDE Konqueror lol

when I used that back in my freebsd days, I never thought it'd end up monopolizing the internet lol

[odd sand]

It kame and konquered.

Hi my launcher would not show anything and i searched online for a solution one of the options was to revert back to the old launcher. So did that but now its showing a black screen> Iv tried uninstalling and reinstalling too but the old black launcher shows up :((

[latent grotto]

try this in IE and restart your pc and modem/router

[graceful kayak]

Yeah tried it still not working 😦

[latent grotto]

did you change anything when the issue first started happening?

[graceful kayak]

I went in to the FFXIV_BOOt file and change the B4EulaAgreement from 0 to 1

[latent grotto]

can you change that back to 0

[graceful kayak]

Yep sure

Might just install it on steam since I was thinking of getting the full version anyway lol

[latent grotto]

still not working?

[graceful kayak]

yeah 😦

[latent grotto]

try this and delete personal settings too

[graceful kayak]

Yeah im trying that now Ill see if that works

[latent grotto]

you could also try deleting the FFXIV_BOOT file which will make it think this is your first time opening the launcher

it'll just create a new boot file

[graceful kayak]

Thats a good idea ill try that

haha I think it worked!

Thanks for ur help :))

[latent grotto]

np 👍

[odd sand]

So with IE officially kaput, does that mean even more ppl coming in here with launcher issues?

[umbral moss]

maybe SE will update the launcher to use webkit for 6.0

[hard drift]

pretty neat video despite the weird scenario lol

[latent grotto]

yea was interesting to see that it could work that far away

[kind jewel]

anyway to fix this ive tried everything i can think of

[deep sapphire]

Reset internet settings in internet explorer

[kind jewel]

seems to still be having this issue damn

[deep sapphire]

Turn off anti virus or any firewalls temporarily

https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

Can try this too

[kind jewel]

/hmmm i cant even log in with that

@deep sapphire "Vistiq, Lumistiq and Escalade IQL" ;-;

"Vistiq sounds like an erectile dysfunction medication."
"Do not take Vistiq if you are currently using Stellantis."

wish me luck.

I tried to get an Xbox series S from Walmart with the Xbox All Access promotion. The website glitched w/o giving me an order number but I was given a line of credit to pay for it. I hope this resolves itself before they run out of stock or something.

do you think all the physical games and digital ones match up 1-1 ratio? I would of gotten the series X but that wasn't offered.

[late basalt]

Match up?

[quaint spear]

uh, like they have equal number of releases and no physical or digital exclusivity?

I'm sure backwards compatibility games won't be equal due to tech, but newer games would?

[dense basin]

So tons of people are having the -2146697211 error?

[celest pilot]

the game has been iffy tonight form what I hear @dense basin I got disconnected around then, back in now after a 13 minute Q

anyone dealt with issues using the XBox Elite 2 controller with the game? I've managed to fix a few issues with the controller itself, updated the firmware to the latest after dusting off my Xbox One to do so. but now it appears that A is X, X is Y, Y is B, and B is A.... which is really annoying.

some other buttons seem to be a bit off too. think I had issues with the right thumbstick not looking around when mounted

[wide hill]

try restarting your router

[dense basin]

Yeah the game only starts with a vpn for me

suuuper annoying

[celest pilot]

where are you located, and where do you connect to with the vpn?

@dense basin ^

Im in Sydney and idk where the VPN connects to

i didnt set it to anywhere

[paper tusk]

would try a heat gun and let the area around the plugs get warm

that might help avoid needing to rip and tear (and rethread)

and penetrating fluid

[drifting granite]

has anyone tried to run ffxiv on linux?

[deep sapphire]

Impressive levels of stupidity

You might just have to pull the head

The plugs didn’t fall in did they

4.0?

Head shouldn’t be too hard to pull but they better be paying you for that job

[deep sapphire]

I would try a bolt extractor if you have one that can fit over a spark plug

Have you tried just running the engine until it’s warm and then trying

Otherwise you legit might have to pull the head

I would use the bolt extractor while the motor is warm, if it makes it worse then head needs to come off

Lmao yeah probably for the best

OH my GOD

this PIECE of SHIT video CARD sucks!

[fickle stratus]

They have a history of questionable things; this is downright scamming though, yes

[pseudo frigate]

Never heard of the company, first time through this vid

[fickle stratus]

If you ever get a prebuilt I would recommend CyberpowerPC with the caveat that you understand the parts you're buying first so you can custom configure it

[latent grotto]

They've been around for a few years. They're actually right next door to nzxt iirc.

[latent grotto]

Yea my first gaming pc was from cyberpower and as long as you pick all the components in a custom build you'll be fine.

[kindred brook]

if someone took a sledgehammer

to a powered down PSU

would it explode?

[dull garnet]

no

[sly elk]

That's why right there. XD the solution to that video would have been "we bought a cheap piece of junk on amazon and it was even junkier than they said it'd be. So we requested a return citing 'item not as described' and amazon immediately gave us a shipping label and a free return" because that's how amazon usually works.

from a brief look at amazon, there were a few variants of that machine for sale. none of them fulfilled by amazon but I wouldn't be surprised if a sloppy seller sent the wrong machine by mistake

[dull garnet]

I mean I do understand why they make these videos, it is to help consumers make their purchasing decisions. It illustrates exactly how poor that card is to those people who aren't so clued in

[sly elk]

i guess

gt630 vs gt730 though?

[dull garnet]

but they seem like the kind of channel that has a core audience rather than having a broader appeal

[sly elk]

it's like, a piece of junk vs a piece of junk

and it was amusing how jazzed up he was about it

like as if he ordered a 3060 and they gave him a 580

[dull garnet]

content producers gonna produce content

[modern iris]

so erm, i exited the game and I got this pop up, this is the second time im now getting this, should i be worried and if so how do I fix this

[wide hill]

try using the xivlauncher's integrity check

!faq xivlauncher

[opal panther]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[modern iris]

i do not have quick launcher installed as wild as that sounds, so is this still relevant to use?

[wide hill]

yeah

[modern iris]

actually on that note ill say this; i have no mods at all

okie

okay so the scan said nothing appears to be wrong

now what :/ i kinda dont want that to happen again, seems bad D:

[latent grotto]

iirc you can view dxdiag for directx errors

[latent grotto]

do you have an amd gpu? tbh it just happens sometimes lol

[modern iris]

no i have an nvidia gpu

rtx 3060 to be exact

[sly elk]

yea I think the dude's cool I guess I'm just being silly xD

[modern iris]

but this only happens when i EXIT the game, i have no issues playing the game itself

its so bizzare..#

Did you have to take the head off?

Hey y’all

Got a question

What’s y’all take on this

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-53E5 Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i5-10300H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU | 15.6" FHD 144Hz IPS Display | 8GB DDR4 | 256GB NVMe SSD | Intel Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit Keyboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092YHJGMN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_S415RGWASF2V88MJ1CV3

My little brother wants a computer and saw this. Thinking of getting this and given him my old one

[deep sapphire]

The 3050 only has 4GB of VRAM and Acer notebooks aren’t well regarded for reliability

[reef coral]

Well yeah

[deep sapphire]

Hence why they are always the cheapest

[reef coral]

Just saw the specs and thought it’s better than what I got

My brother been wanting a oc for awhile so I thought I could give it to him

[deep sapphire]

I would check slickdeals and see if you can find something with a 3060, I saw some on bestbuy around 1500-1600

[latent grotto]

3050 is pretty bad

[reef coral]

Really?

Huh

[latent grotto]

I wanna say its around the same performance as a 1060 or something lol

[deep sapphire]

Yeah it’s kinda annoying nvidia gimped it with 4GB of vram

Atleast 6GB

[reef coral]

Huh

[latent grotto]

3050 is a trap basically

[deep sapphire]

I think if the vram doesn’t get bottlenecked it’s on par with a 1660

[reef coral]

Let’s spit ball. How much would let’s say a mid range pc cost with let’s say a gtx 1060

[latent grotto]

Well...

[deep sapphire]

Or rather a 2060

[latent grotto]

Finding a 1060 thats not scalped right now would be nigh impossible

[deep sapphire]

My 1070 holds up fairly well

But it has 8GB

So that probably helps

1060 6GB is probably fine

Why they made a 3GB sku

Beyond me

Just check slick deals, expect your budget to be around 1600 or so if you want something midrange

The days of 1000 dollar gaming value is beyond us

[reef coral]

If the steam deck was out I would just get him that

[deep sapphire]

I don’t like entry level because it becomes obsolete so quickly

[latent grotto]

I can use a windows boot media to format my boot drive right?

Thinking about doing a clean install

[deep sapphire]

As long as the drive filetable isn’t loaded yeah

You can use the usb installer

You just can’t format it while windows is running

[latent grotto]

Yea which is why I needed to know if I could format it when booting from the usb

[deep sapphire]

Yeah

[latent grotto]

I kinda figured I could but wanted to make sure

[deep sapphire]

When you do a clean install you’ll have the option

[latent grotto]

Admittedly my current install is 5 years old so I think its about time to clean it all out

[dull garnet]

ewwy

did a clean win 10 install on Saturday, nuked the ms store with powershell

So for some reason my pc still sees an install for win10 even though I formatted my drive

[dull garnet]

did you format the wrong drive

[latent grotto]

No I definitely formatted the right drive

[dull garnet]

sus

how did you manage that

[latent grotto]

Through the windows install usb

Hmm theres a system partition on my 970

[paper tusk]

it probbaly thought a recovery volume was bootable or something brain damaged

[dull garnet]

[latent grotto]

I'll just format the whole thing since I did use that as my boot drive at one point

[latent grotto]

i played on ps4 previously

are you trying to use kbm on ps4?

[swift jasper]

i'm having bonkers lag time using a usb hub and i wanted to ask someone who's using a wired keyboard how the lag was

i do, i was just hoping to upgrade to a mechanical

but hellish lag

[deep sapphire]

is the USB hub powered by the same port

or does it use its own power source

[swift jasper]

it's got a blue light when i plug it in and no light when i don't so i'm gonna go with the ps4

[latent grotto]

it has its own power source when you need to plug it into a power outlet
