lol you use teams casua... oh yea ofc

oh ok

I use teams/webex so much at work that I really don't wanna see them on my personal computer ever

it's not that I hate teams

[deep sapphire]

That’s the most Minnesotan thing I’ve ever read

[sly elk]

it works decently well most of the time haha

it's better than skype for business

[sly elk]

hmm the only northface thing I've ever owned is my backpack

[deep sapphire]

Hey it warmed up a bit

[sly elk]

-8

what does it feel like

[deep sapphire]

No I have some jacket from a company in Canada lmao

It feels horrible

Your hands hurt after a minute of exposure

[sly elk]

it's not one of those canada goose things is it?

[deep sapphire]

Nah it’s called Canadian weather gear

My mom got it for me for Christmas

It’s really warm I love it

[sly elk]

those were super popular for a minute xD

ahhh cool

yea I bet

I don't think I've ever experienced anything below like 25f

one time when it was 25f I was in vegas and went to a gas station to get gas

i was driving cautiously worried about black ice

get out of the car, walk around to put gas in, and fall on my butt from slipping on black ice

gg

how long before you freezer burn yourself

so you go outside and run really fast/

oh ok

[deep sapphire]

2014 was probably the worst I can recall

[sly elk]

yea wind makes anything colder

[deep sapphire]

it was -40 windchills for like 2 months

my car would barely start

some nights I had to plug in the engine heater

haha

yeah you lived in winnipeg you know how it is

[sly elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeXj3ta1WE8 this.. rpetty much describes how I feel about weather now

I don't like it when it's 85 outside

[sly elk]

for sure winter is one of those things that sounds great as a kid, but sounds awful as an adult

I've never had to shovel snow in my life

[odd sand]

I've got a thermal reflective two layer Columbia jacket for regular winter use and my older jacket is one of those three part ones with the zip out liner good for a bit colder.

Going to the Packers game tomorrow night, so I bought some new north face snow pants bc my 20yr old pair I can't quite fit anymore 😩

The thing about winter as an adult is you (theoretically) have complete control over your gear and you don't get cold as easily as an adult bc there is more distance to your core

[modest moss]

"there is more distance to your core"

are you calling me fat?

[hard drift]

[odd sand]

So I don't mind being out in negative fuck as long as I've had a chance to prepare

[sly elk]

lol

[odd sand]

You know what I mean. When you're five, there is very little distance between your skin and your core compared to being 3x the size

[blazing summit]

Anyone know any decent fans i can replace my ll120 fans with? they're just a bit noisy for the amount of RPM they spin at

was thinking of getting the Lian Li Unifans but unsure if they would be any better for quietness but it is faster in RPM

[teal fable]

I’m using the uni fans and they can get loud vs rpm

[jaunty light]

||noctua||

[dull garnet]

the most expensive fans

[weary horizon]

What kind of specs for a desktop should i look for for ff14 and maybe to stream?

Its about time i rid of my 2014 laptop ://

[untold onyx]

As someone who deals with these types of connectors for work, this is FAR too accurate.

[blazing summit]

Noctua doesn't have fans with lighting because of their focus on performance and noise

[jaunty light]

reject RGB, return to creaminess

[dull garnet]

get some cold cathodes!

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/noctua-fan-noctuafan-gif-24134135

[royal forge]

I dont get noctua's logic for brown fans

[latent grotto]

they do it to stand out

[royal forge]

Is it just because its their signsture look now?

Ah

Maybe it so fucking ugly the heat will run away

[modest moss]

it's to remind everyone they're overpriced shit

[latent grotto]

https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-PH-FF140RGBP_BK01-Halos-density-mounting/dp/B074Q4Y16V just get this if you want rgb on your noctua fans

[royal forge]

I mean... i HAVE heard good things about Noctua

[modest moss]

they make good products but they are also overpriced

they're like apple

good products but you pay through the nose for the name

[latent grotto]

yea its like $30 for 1 fan

[deep sapphire]

@sly elk

out of dex cool

im dying

[latent grotto]

this?

[deep sapphire]

yeah lol

[potent arrow]

Lol my coolant is jungle juice

literally a mixture of the bottom of random empty coolant jugs from the shop

[dull garnet]

noctua colours rule

frankly i'm a bit disappointed they caved and released the chromax range

[native ingot]

anyone plays the game with a Radeon RX 580? are you having frequent dx11 crashes since around 6.01?

[jaunty light]

Imma get some creamy fans and put the RGB halos on em

[dull garnet]

lewd

[dreamy chasm]

Too much demand for chromax to not release it

[odd sand]

Anything like a 5600x or 12600 would be fine. Gpu with streaming needs to be a bit more than without

[sly elk]

so here's the thing. Noctua was founded in 2005. They aren't even that old.

that explains why I'm so darn incredulous about them hahahaa

I've been building stuff before they were around >>

they can take their ugly ass fans and shove em

[potent arrow]

better then those shitty nameless black ones with molex connectors

[jaunty light]

bruh they are beautiful

https://tenor.com/view/bentley-continental-flying-spur-bentley-flying-spur-bentley-continental-gif-15969770

you just cant appreciate our bentley fans

[sly elk]

my point was they've been playing the "look we're oldschool cool" game for ages and they aren't even oldschool 😄

there were others though. I can't remember all the names but delta, panaflow, hmm there was another company that made maglev fans

(In fact I think corsair MLs are just those fans but prettier)

i think it was sunon

[dull garnet]

yate loon

which weirdly had lots of fakes

[sly elk]

that is true

[dull garnet]

imagine bootlegging fans

[sly elk]

the downside to using random chinese brands

[dull garnet]

i bought a double pack of ML120s

strangely loud

[sly elk]

there were also brands like akasa, which was kinda sorta unique, but I kinda wonder if they just popped their label on someone else's

[dull garnet]

i used to like those akasa amber

[sly elk]

I don't hate what noctua does

I just don't like their guerilla marketing 😄

they package their stuff really nicely and give away those cute tiny fan keychains

[latent grotto]

ngl i feel like the box is half the price of what you're paying

[sly elk]

ye

and it comes with cables i'm not gonna use

also, corsair annoys me with some of their fans like the QLs

they appeal to my flashy sense but they reviewed horribly as far as airflow goes

[latent grotto]

i have some of their ml 140mm

[sly elk]

the MLs are not as pretty but they perform a lot better >>

but I will not disagree with speed's assessment of noisiness

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/corsair-ml120-pro-rgb/5.html

[dull garnet]

i got the ugly non RGB ones lol

replaced the two I had for intake with some cheapo AC F14 PWMs

[sly elk]

they are rather consistently quieter than NF-F12s

I dunno how the others compare lol

[dull garnet]

the ML120?

[sly elk]

hehe but according to that list, lots of fans are

[dull garnet]

bruh 50dB

[sly elk]

the nf-f12 does a lot better

[dull garnet]

should hope so for £25 a piece

[sly elk]

so you win

-goes to paint his case brown and install beige and brown fans in it-

[dull garnet]

never get why people mount their shit like that

[dreamy chasm]

Only works well if you have intakes on the bottom

Assuming your gpu isn't already dumping loads of hot air into the cpu intake

[sly elk]

lol that's how my computer works >>

the front fans don't do much for cpu/gpu temps

they do help the ram temp a little bit though

[dreamy chasm]

Did you buy a case with a glass front panel

[jaunty light]

yeah

then I sealed the edges with RTV to make sure no dust got in

[modest moss]

why no arctic cooling fans in those charts?

because they're too fucking awesome

if the noise of a fan bothers you, your music is too quiet you giant wuss

[jaunty light]

i had some phanteks that were p good

one of my bearings in my top noctua is bad tho

mm yes..

[dreamy chasm]

I have phanteks

They're pretty coo

[sly elk]

my old case had a glass front panel

my current one has a solid piece of metal

[dreamy chasm]

💀

[potent arrow]

Shittiest fans in the wooorld

Only good Corsair are mag levs

[sly elk]

are those the ones that come with a water cooler

i don't like those either

whenever i think about swapping my AIO out for a bigger one, I'm on the fence which one i'd get

[potent arrow]

Yeah I never use them so I have a pile of them

[sly elk]

the arctic one is one of my favorite AIOs

[dreamy chasm]

Get yourself one of these, kyanche

[dreamy chasm]

No more cooling issues

[sly elk]

but I think the little fan on the pump is really dumb

[dreamy chasm]

easy

[potent arrow]

I'm a big fat fan of the EK aios and Gallahad ones tbh

EK looks the best and Gallahad is always on sale

[sly elk]

the gallahads don't come with uni fans 😦

[dreamy chasm]

I've always disliked aios, personally

[potent arrow]

I mean yeah it'll be too expensive

[dreamy chasm]

The chance of leakage is low but I'd rather not bother with worrying about it

[sly elk]

you can always go the half and half route, and get an alphacool eiswolf

[potent arrow]

Gallhahd is my bang for the buck

[dreamy chasm]

Doesn't asetek still make half the coolers in the market rn

[potent arrow]

It's so low you shouldn't even consider it

[sly elk]

I admit, I really like the idea of the alphacool one

lol that's why i liked corsair ones 😉

[dreamy chasm]

Ik, but I'd rather just run pure air

Just a personal thing

[sly elk]

they're using coolit pumps

[potent arrow]

CL Aio are so safe it's not even funny

[sly elk]

I had a bad experience with an asetek unit before

[dreamy chasm]

I also just have a system I have to move places from time to time, so the risk is higher on my end

[sly elk]

irtno

[dreamy chasm]

It's just not smth I want to risk, even if miniscule

[sly elk]

AIOs are sealed

[potent arrow]

I throw my pc in my backpack and birng it on public transport lol

[sly elk]

you shouldn't have to worry about it leaking

[potent arrow]

Yeah lol

[dreamy chasm]

shrug

[sly elk]

and corsair has at least as far as I know replaced components broken by faulty AIOs

[potent arrow]

Most issues with aio is with the pump

[sly elk]

but they don't promise that in their warranty

[potent arrow]

Not leaks

[dreamy chasm]

I know

[sly elk]

but I wouldn't argue any of the reasons against AIOs

for one, they're a giant stinkin' piece of ewaste

[potent arrow]

I personally go air for 99% of the builds because they are unrccasry as fuck

[sly elk]

it's not very eco friendly to buy something that has a finite lifespan like that

[potent arrow]

The only use case I have for them is sff PCs where I can't stick a tower in

[dreamy chasm]

I don't do anything cpu intensive, so stock clocks on itx coolers are fine for me

[potent arrow]

I'm more worried with alder lake rn then anything for sff

[sly elk]

I love how they even have a nokia phone

[dreamy chasm]

Alder Lake is going to be awful for sff with how much heat they put out, yeah.

Unless you go aio

[sly elk]

lol

[potent arrow]

Some aios will Max out I think

[sly elk]

unless you don't mind the WHIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[potent arrow]

Thermal saturate memes

[modest moss]

Hyper212 Evo, Arctic Cooling fans, anything else is wasteful posturing

[dreamy chasm]

I'm luckily not going alderlake

I'm happy with my zen 2

[sly elk]

the hyper 212 evo probably doesn't bode well for anything hotter than a 5600x

[potent arrow]

Alot of my clients will end up with alder I think

[dreamy chasm]

What do they do

[sly elk]

oh speaking of needless waste

my strimer 24pin cable came a day early

the triple 8 pin won't come until like wednesday though

[dreamy chasm]

Does it come in needless amounts of bubble wrap and plastic

[sly elk]

nope

it came in a fancy box though

but amazon shipped it in a bubblewrap mailer bag with my yankee air fresheners

[dreamy chasm]

I see, lmao

Could be worse I guess

Man

[dreamy chasm]

My mic came in yesterday but they left it at my front door

Fuck

I'm on vacation rn

[potent arrow]

Which mic did u end up with

[dreamy chasm]

Just smth used

There was a 30 dollar mic that was going for 10 bucks

So I figured I should cop it bc of free shipping day

[potent arrow]

Lol

[dreamy chasm]

It's not the biggest loss

If I do lose it

Would suck though

https://videocardz.com/newz/evga-geforce-rtx-3090-ti-kingpin-to-require-dual-12-pin-power-connectors wtf is this.... that's a max powerdraw of like 1200 watts

[dreamy chasm]

It realistically could be less

Just... depends on how nv constrains the card

[hard drift]

i imagine it won't be that because there's no way to cool that with that cooler

not to mention you'd need a beefy PSU just for the gpu

https://videocardz.com/press-release/samsung-announces-odyssey-neo-g8-worlds-first-4k-240hz-miniled-gaming-monitor starting to get excited for CES

[dreamy chasm]

I'm more concerned for your cooling bill in the summer, honestly

Imagine this thing taking 800w-1000w constant power on load

Shits hotter than 2 midrange systems combined

[hard drift]

there's no way that card will be for consumers. 100% be an overclocker only card or something

that card will be like 3k i imagine

[dreamy chasm]

5000 usd msrp

i mean wouldn't surprise me lol, The TI naming plus the kingpin name

ya know @dull garnet i was thinking about getting a set of black noctuas to use as intakes because my ML140s are kinda noisy when they ramp up

[deep sapphire]

2400 dollars for it

in repairs

[jaunty light]

2400 for the first few months, then the plastic intake manifold will explode

[sly elk]

if it were a toyota

[jaunty light]

i just started getting micro stutters during cutscenes. any idea what could cause this? it just started happening an hour ago and the only thing i changed was adding a new ssd to my pc.. but would this even cause micro stuttering?

[jaunty light]

I mean I can shove it on ebay and it'll go for 1k but under normal circumstances it's not worth 1k

[dull garnet]

that's like a $100+ eBay bill too

[deep sapphire]

micro stutters could be many things, have you tried just doing a restart to see if it gets resolved

[dreamy chasm]

Adding an ssd shouldn't cause issues

[modest moss]

yeah sell it to Ice for 800 USD

[dreamy chasm]

Just turn it off and on again, yeah.

[jaunty light]

ice would get dicked on customs

[deep sapphire]

send it as a $1 gift

[deep sapphire]

s-sussy

i restarted it and it went away and then when i went into a cutscene it came back. i mean it seems like its only happening during cutscenes which isnt too much of an issue

This'll be good to use to clean toilets, I guess

[jaunty light]

they have 5L bottles of suntory whisky over there, and it's like $15 US.

[deep sapphire]

[dreamy chasm]

It was a 700ml bottle, tastes like rubbing alcohol

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

that's your problem navi 1 is garbage lmao

[jaunty light]

that's uh.. not a great upgrade

[nocturne fractal]

[deep sapphire]

you should sell it

[dreamy chasm]

That's a very slight upgrade at best

[deep sapphire]

and game on a GBA SP for now

[sly elk]

radeons make good hackintosh cards

[deep sapphire]

thats an upgrade because atleast it turns on

[nocturne fractal]

lmao

[sly elk]

but at this point

just buy a m1 mac mini

it'll cost the same

[hard drift]

😒

[jaunty light]

normally I like to flex on amd for driver stability but lately nvidia GRD have been utter trash

[jaunty light]

considering going to a like .20 old studio driver

[sly elk]

like seriously radeons are so overpriced

[hard drift]

so are nvidia cards

[sly elk]

for $600 you could have a mac mini, or a shitty 6600

[deep sapphire]

if only you could game on a mac decently

[sly elk]

if only

[hard drift]

that's literally msrp lmao

[sly elk]

there was a time where unreal and quake and all kinds of gamges ran on macs

still only like 20% of all pc games

[deep sapphire]

its like no bro just change your date on windows to 2019 its fine

[sly elk]

but the good ones did

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

the 2080ti was 1200 msrp 🤷‍♂️

[jaunty light]

[deep sapphire]

[deep sapphire]

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

"EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Kingpin to require dual 12-pin power connectors"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[jaunty light]

u tellin me they are gonna try to send like 800w through that thing?

[deep sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/blain-predator-gif-20171253

[hard drift]

you mean nearly 1300

[jaunty light]

what is the new 12 pin delivery

[sly elk]

it's GOTTA be marketing

[jaunty light]

I thought it was like 400w

[hard drift]

600w per connector

[jaunty light]

LMAO

[jaunty light]

what the fuck

[sly elk]

https://videocardz.com/newz/evga-geforce-rtx-3090-ti-kingpin-to-require-dual-12-pin-power-connectors

[dreamy chasm]

I'm playing on a 1660 super on 1080p

[jaunty light]

the HOF 3090 bios is like 480w limit

[hard drift]

i posted it earlier as well

[dreamy chasm]

I'm happy

[deep sapphire]

its EVGA so it'll fail from sitting in XIV queue

[hard drift]

it's a kingpin card, literally his job is to set overclock records

[deep sapphire]

based

[sly elk]

can confirm

[jaunty light]

that's the HOF as well

[dreamy chasm]

I might get a 1440p monitor at most

[sly elk]

don't buy the $3000 kingpin

[hard drift]

evga is just the publisher, kingpin is the one that designs it

[dreamy chasm]

But that's a stretch

[sly elk]

buy the $4500 strix

[jaunty light]

the only good EVGA cards are kingpins lel

[deep sapphire]

I have him on facebook actually

let me message him

[dreamy chasm]

bingpin

bingbong

[jaunty light]

"hey bro, evga sucks ass, sorry they put their name on your board"

[hard drift]

[dreamy chasm]

Why

[hard drift]

kingpin also does custom motherboards i believe or atleast did at one point

[dreamy chasm]

Oh.

[deep sapphire]

https://www.facebook.com/vince.lucido

message him

tell him his shit sucks

[dreamy chasm]

Kingpin designs the dark motherboards

[jaunty light]

oh yeah I remember wanting an evga sr2 or whatever it was back in the day

[sly elk]

i didn't realize kingpin was a person

[hard drift]

yeah

it's his team

[sly elk]

he's doing better than the f4tal1ty dude then

[jaunty light]

I'll see you in 2024 brother

f4tal1ty BOARDS WITH EPIC GAMER NETWORK INTERFACES!

[hard drift]

you mean when it'll be common for cards to use 600+ watts

[jaunty light]

IMPROVE YOUR GAMERING**

**THESE DROP PACKETS LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER

[sly elk]

the evga dark board irritates me

[dreamy chasm]

F4tal1ty made his biggest mistake when he signed with asrock

[sly elk]

eh let's face it

DFI lanparty was the best 😛

[deep sapphire]

thats a name I havent heard in awhile

[dreamy chasm]

Probably the worst fucking high end board partner

[deep sapphire]

STOP EATING LIKE A NOOB

GET GAMER GRUB

[hard drift]

nah it won't next gen high end will kill a 1k psu more than likely lmao

[hard drift]

they're trying to move to the 12 pin standard

[dreamy chasm]

People are running 3080s on 600w rn

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

argh don't remind me

[dreamy chasm]

Hey, I had that

Well, the b85 sniper board

[sly elk]

i'm still using a 3080ti on a 750w 😄

[dreamy chasm]

It was cheap at the time and allowed me to overclock

[deep sapphire]

probably because people cringed at its design of why it was so cheap

[dreamy chasm]

Meh

[jaunty light]

oh yeah baby

[dreamy chasm]

I shoved the pc into a corner and forgot about it

[hard drift]

depends on the company, some have them

[jaunty light]

that's what im talkin bout

[dreamy chasm]

It's not a huge issue

[deep sapphire]

I miss when they put Military Grade on the boards

[sly elk]

lol

old evga marketing was so cringe

[deep sapphire]

as someone that was in the military why would anyone buy that

[dreamy chasm]

tbf, their motherboards did last

[deep sapphire]

yeah Gigabyte was a decent brand back then

[jaunty light]

because it's CLASS 4 military

[sly elk]

i'd argue that evga never makes anything good looking

[deep sapphire]

BROWN

[dreamy chasm]

I'd trust them more than the shit fest that was asrock and biostar

[deep sapphire]

BROWN

[sly elk]

but at least they're 'murican

[deep sapphire]

EVGA use to make good shit

[jaunty light]

it has ICY choke

[sly elk]

LOL

[deep sapphire]

the X58 boards were god tier

[sly elk]

biostar lol

[dreamy chasm]

Idk wtf this motherboard layout was

[sly elk]

the one company i hate

it asus

[deep sapphire]

remember BFG

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

back in the day asus was everyone's favorite that could do no wrong

[dreamy chasm]

Asus support had always been hot garbage

[sly elk]

yea but unlike evga, the chances are low you'll ever need it

[deep sapphire]

they took a picture of a frustrated Radeon customer and put it on their decal

[sly elk]

LOL

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

Smh I’m ignoring you

[deep sapphire]

LMAO

[jaunty light]

[deep sapphire]

I miss the VHS tape

[dreamy chasm]

With shit coolers

[sly elk]

dude it looks like a VHS tape

[deep sapphire]

GTX 580 not hot enough for you?

well have a GTX 590

[jaunty light]

I See your 590

[deep sapphire]

the 295 was a very weird design

[jaunty light]

i raise you dreadlock 6990

[deep sapphire]

I owned the 5970

card was a total pile of shit

[dreamy chasm]

The only remotely sensible one was the 7990

[jaunty light]

5 series was weird

[sly elk]

SAPPHIRE

[jaunty light]

4 series and 6 series were really good

[sly elk]

oh i love a good 3 fan card

[jaunty light]

5 series was ???

[deep sapphire]

http://www.geeks3d.com/public/jegx/200901/geforce-gtx-295-pcb-detail-02.jpg

[dreamy chasm]

3 fans and an actual heatsink

[dull garnet]

[deep sapphire]

the 295 had dual PCBs

[deep sapphire]

nice 70 dollar game

jk

[dreamy chasm]

Which 295

Are we talking abt

[deep sapphire]

GTX 295

[dreamy chasm]

Ah

[deep sapphire]

they made a revision later

with a single PCB

[dreamy chasm]

My mind sprung to the 295x2

[jaunty light]

what that psu got a fuckin usb port

[deep sapphire]

but the first version was dual PCB

[sly elk]

it angers me irrationally that corsair doesn't make those PSUs anymore

lol

[dull garnet]

opz

[deep sapphire]

thanks for the serial number

[dreamy chasm]

Idk why they thought a measly aio would be able to handle 600w of peak load

[deep sapphire]

hacking you

[dull garnet]

[jaunty light]

gotta love it

[dreamy chasm]

Go back to 3 fans ffs

[sly elk]

you can still get the sakura card

[dreamy chasm]

The sakura card is cute

[dull garnet]

name one dual gpu card that was good

[deep sapphire]

eugh why cant they put cheezy anime booba on my cards anymore

[jaunty light]

meanwhile palit is like "orb"

[dull garnet]

i'll wait

[jaunty light]

I would buy this

[deep sapphire]

I do not

[dreamy chasm]

7990 was fine for compute, allegedly

[jaunty light]

all they need to do is genshin impact x AIB

slap raiden shogun on that shit it'll sell like hotcakes

[sly elk]

it's a shame Yeston doesn't have a good reseller in the US

[dull garnet]

[deep sapphire]

you could probably find a custom fab shop

[sly elk]

they really shou;d

[deep sapphire]

just make something up in CAD

[jaunty light]

fuckin asus

[deep sapphire]

ALRIGHT!

[dreamy chasm]

That one looks gaudy

[dull garnet]

[jaunty light]

ah yeah those ancient memes

[dreamy chasm]

Gaudy, I don't like the translucent plastic

[jaunty light]

a 295 and 4870x2 roll up to the dragstrip

[dreamy chasm]

Reminds me of those cheap Chinese toys I could get for a few cents

[dull garnet]

i love translucent plastic

[jaunty light]

AMD fans are laughing at nvidia for catching on fire, but they have no driver

ati*

[sly elk]

i wonder how effective the cooling on these is

the flower petal fans seem questionable

[jaunty light]

all that matters is looking cool not actually being cool

[sly elk]

and the big cross bars seem like they'd add noise

[dull garnet]

you didn't even paint the fans

[sly elk]

-gets out pink rattlecans-

[jaunty light]

what i wonder is how those stupid ass evga "e" on their fans do

[dull garnet]

coward

[deep sapphire]

my neighbor had a gameboy pocket

[sly elk]

oh i thought he had legit white strix

[dreamy chasm]

Gameboy micro

those were cute

[jaunty light]

geez zotac, you didnt have to go all out on your card design

[dreamy chasm]

LMAO

[sly elk]

the actually good looking white strix

not the nasty ass 30 series

[deep sapphire]

where

[dreamy chasm]

Wtf is that cooler design

[dull garnet]

i had a micro in school, was perfect for ev training in emerald during class

[deep sapphire]

[deep sapphire]

as long as the paint doesnt get into the bearing housing

[jaunty light]

this image sucks but

[dreamy chasm]

I heard you like triple slot coolers

[deep sapphire]

thats badass

[dull garnet]

nearly bought a 7950 GX2 at a car boot sale

[sly elk]

XFX thicc

[dull garnet]

guy wanted £40, what a rip!

[deep sapphire]

wtf is that a hard drive enclosure? /s

[dreamy chasm]

lmao

[sly elk]

the worst part

is that they made a THICC Ultra

[dreamy chasm]

Was it ever good at cooling

[jaunty light]

oh shit I forgot about the evga "classified" cards lmao

find it in the classifieds cuz it's shit

[dreamy chasm]

The plastic looks good but, why the single fan on all these cards

[sly elk]

nah

[deep sapphire]

I bought my 580s off amazon lets see if its still in my records

[sly elk]

you'll find that card in an /r/pcmr "Press f to pay respects" because it was made by evga

[dull garnet]

for a while video card cooling was truly miserable

[jaunty light]

or the 58

[dreamy chasm]

Send me a 580 hank

[sly elk]

which means it blows up a month after the warranty ends

[dreamy chasm]

I'll uh, give you five duck pictures

[jaunty light]

god damn that NB heatsink

[dreamy chasm]

jk

[deep sapphire]

oh wait maybe it was on newegg

That's a beefy vrm

Better than shit cooled ones I guess

[sly elk]

lol

[dreamy chasm]

evga dork

[sly elk]

wait they're doing a z690?

[dreamy chasm]

Yes

Probably

[hard drift]

it's kingpin chances are 99%

[dreamy chasm]

Why wouldn't they

[sly elk]

I thought they only made new boards when the chipset was almost done with

like they di with x570 😄

[dreamy chasm]

Kingpin wants a board, he's making one

[hard drift]

get your 32nm out of here

[dull garnet]

I like to pretend you're still using this

[jaunty light]

i do like the big ass monoblocks they had

[deep sapphire]

I wish I was but it died

😭

[dreamy chasm]

tbf, evga x570 probably has a lot of inter company politics to deal w before it was allowed to be produced

[dull garnet]

[deep sapphire]

I was playing doom 2016

[sly elk]

so

[deep sapphire]

and it bsod

[sly elk]

you hate evga

but like evga

[deep sapphire]

and then I couldnt post

😭

[sly elk]

i'm confused

[dull garnet]

my boss had the AMD version of this

threw it out recently

[hard drift]

it's because intel

[dull garnet]

wondering if i should have nabbed it

[dreamy chasm]

What socket

[deep sapphire]

a dead intel CPU of this era had more value than a working AMD one

[hard drift]

that's a lie and you know it

[sly elk]

i wanted an x570 ftw

[dreamy chasm]

Boutta build a 9590 system to heat my house

[sly elk]

just to see if evga's software was good

[deep sapphire]

LOL

[sly elk]

because I liked precision x1

[dull garnet]

nah late 00s AMD was shit

[dreamy chasm]

R9 290 crossfire with a 9590

[deep sapphire]

tfw fell into the Phenom meme

[dreamy chasm]

The 50c in my room during summer deluxe

[jaunty light]

[dull garnet]

Q6600 tho

[deep sapphire]

Core 2 Quad chads

[sly elk]

-pinches-

i agree they look pretty though

[jaunty light]

gonna come over and scissor your soft toob

[dreamy chasm]

Saw a bunch of people still running c2q extremes with gtx 970s

what a bunch of champs

[sly elk]

so the trick then is to have a distro block huh

then the soft tubes look nice

[deep sapphire]

they are scared of seeing anything other than extreme

[sly elk]

but still squishy

[dull garnet]

c2q xtreme aren't so cheap

[jaunty light]

im trying to stop myself from doin an o11 watercool now

[sly elk]

-squeezes tube-

[deep sapphire]

remember intel's skulltrail platform

[dull garnet]

a q6600 is like $5 tho lol

[sly elk]

-computer crashes-

[dull garnet]

or it was

[dreamy chasm]

Probably still is dirt cheap

[jaunty light]

not terrible but i dont like pump reservoirs

[dull garnet]

you never know with the current aftermarket

[dreamy chasm]

How much are sandy bridge i7s nowadays anyway

[jaunty light]

unless it's styled like t virus vials

[dull garnet]

i see 3770K still selling for £100

[deep sapphire]

wtf

[dull garnet]

like bruh come on

[dreamy chasm]

Yeah but nobody's buying that garbage

The 10100f exists

[dull garnet]

they are though

I checked the eBay sold listings

[dreamy chasm]

Are people stupid

[sly elk]

i like the water cooler that looks like an orb

[dull garnet]

some people are too stubborn to upgrade their motherboard/ram

[dreamy chasm]

Ah, right

4c i5 to 4c8t i7, the biggest scam of the past century

[dull garnet]

tbh a 3770K would probably pair fairly well with something like a 1060 6GB for most stuff at 1080p

[dreamy chasm]

Probably, yeah

Lots of good old games

[deep sapphire]

tfw you fell for the 16GiB RAM meme

fuggin discord

[dreamy chasm]

I've seen haswell server chips sell for 100 bucks with motherboard and ram

[dull garnet]

tfw you've had 16GB of RAM for 9 years

still no reason to upgrade

[dreamy chasm]

I also see 1060 5gbs running for 170 or so bucks in my region sometimes

Not too bad in the current market

Yes, 5 gb

Just a 6gb sku with cut down ram

Was meant for the Chinese Market

[deep sapphire]

5GB

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

thats good enough for 1080P

whats up ice

[dreamy chasm]

5gb is plenty for a lot of games, yeah

[jaunty light]

open up a 1060 and steal a ram chip, then you can slap those on a ram-less 1060!

[dreamy chasm]

Specially if you're me and just play old games

[deep sapphire]

no

[jaunty light]

extra eps is if you're a baller

[dreamy chasm]

Use whatever is appropriate for your mb

[deep sapphire]

ATX standard only requires 4 pin technically but most modern CPUs use 8

[dreamy chasm]

Yeah.

[deep sapphire]

that extra one is as AM said just more for added headroom

[dreamy chasm]

No harm in using the 8 pin

Gives you extra headroom if you ever oc

[jaunty light]

yeah that;s exactly how I worded it as well thanks hank

[deep sapphire]

y-yeah

[jaunty light]

I think I have 2 8pins on mine, no way I'm ever eating that much power on a 5900x

pours ln2 on motherbiard

[dreamy chasm]

This is kind of growing on me
