Don’t get me wrong the 12100F is a bangin value but I don’t think we’ll ever stop giving you shit for using the cheapest i3 SKU with a 3090 LMAO

After evga just fucked you over?

Oh okay was about to say lmao

[late basalt]

RMA it, sell it at a decent price, buy a different brand nvidia card, profit?

[kindred brook]

[dull garnet]

be my guest

GPUs certainly seem more available here in the past few weeks

[kindred brook]

oh rright billions of transistors

no wonder fabs are a giant clean room

man I get sweaty hands sometimes

I'd totally fuck up a job at a fab factory

its not like

dripping of sweat lol

I get it only sometimes yea

[late basalt]

Tbf, it can also happen with stress and anxiety too

[kindred brook]

if I was in a trillion dollar chip factory

probably going to be sweating lol

https://tenor.com/view/sweating-nervous-paranoid-gif-4974019

lmfao

[sly elk]

so uh

your gpu draws more power than your mobo can supply

but your mobo doesn't have the ability to limit how much power it gives to the gpu?

[hard drift]

you can lower the power limit

[dull garnet]

increase the power limit

[modest moss]

@tame fulcrum have you asked them to just refund you?

[kindred brook]

A CORE i3

was a dead

core i9

at one point?

😮

TFW when sand is like people

not all the same

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-arc-a350m-gets-significant-performance-boost-in-games-with-dynamic-tuning-technology-disabled they actually have hope 😮

[sly elk]

tbh

small claims court?

that said

you already sent the card to them, yea?

ahh

do they not have a way to send it without getting a cross shipped exchange?

I know at least corsair makes that sorta thing optional

[odd sand]

IMHO if it was me, I would have just temporarily increased my credit limit knowing I was going to get it back anyways

Since you can just call them back and set it back to the lower amount later

[sly elk]

yea

their reason for charging double msrp is totally moot now that the shortage is over

[modest moss]

ask for a 3080 12gb back and a refund on the stepup cost

you're fucked I guess

[deep sapphire]

Nothin like a rumbly V8 and a nice exhaust

[hard drift]

don't put that near my pc

[deep sapphire]

LOL

Remember the V10

[dull garnet]

i'm glad every CPU cooler is basically just the same now

we know what works

[deep sapphire]

Lmao such a strange cooler

What’s a V4

You mean inline 4?

[dull garnet]

remember peltier coolers

[deep sapphire]

That box art

[dull garnet]

soul

[hard drift]

ultra chill tec

[deep sapphire]

The V10 had a TEC on it I think

[dull garnet]

huh

that's one approach

[hard drift]

wtf is this

[dull garnet]

wait a minute that's a 212

[deep sapphire]

A company that doesn’t understand V4s don’t exist

They did historically but it was a terrible engine configuration

[deep sapphire]

You know what I loved about the VQ35

How it used the crankshaft to balance the engine

Pretty clever

[sly elk]

so basically

all the cylinders hump the block at the same time

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/soulja-boy-dance-dancing-gif-13291292

i had a boomer lego electric motor set as a kid

[potent arrow]

ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[dull garnet]

sarah real mad about bootleg lego

[royal forge]

THAT DEFEATS THE WHOLE POINT OF HAVIN A BOX INIT

[potent arrow]

No

A box is just a fucking shell

Just

Wrap it in bubble wrap

Take the smaller box

Cut it down a side

Wrap it around the bubble wrapped laptop

Tape that mother fucker

Put two pieces of card on each end

Tape it again

Mail ot

A box isn't really there to protect, especially a card board one. It's to keep the packing in and allow easy stacking

The later, you don't need

[royal forge]

Alright

Imma grab like

Some foam or some shit

To cushion it

[potent arrow]

The best part is they'll be forced to give you a nice box in return!

Ez!

[royal forge]

True

[sly elk]

?

oh, big laptop

[potent arrow]

Ye

My ways with words are as elegant as an elephant in a tornado having it's hide ripped off and turned into a sofa

[sick edge]

A tornado that can leatherwork is pretty elegant

[modest moss]

oh hey @potent arrow survived her latest mishap

I rode an elephant once

it's like the rule for elephant rides isn't it

that looks way scarier lol

oh ok

that's pretty much exactly how it was when I did it

man the people i work with on the other parts of this project can spend 30 mins saying 5 mins of stuff

[odd sand]

Are you remote? Bc that means you get a 30min break

[sly elk]

that's why i've been so active today

[kindred brook]

why is my core i7 6700k

running at 100%

[modest moss]

because it is doing things

[kindred brook]

[hard drift]

you're probably downloading/installing on steam it'll do that

[sick edge]

they're still alive?

[kindred brook]

o.o

loist ark at 4k

can eat resources lol

[sick edge]

Most 4k things eat resources, whatchu mean

[hard drift]

more gpu than cpu resources

the game engine is bad atleast when i tried it

so poorly optimized

[deep sapphire]

34 percent utilization? thats pretty bad unless you have some weird vsync on capping it

should be 99

do you bave background task limiter?

[hard drift]

lost ark is capped pretty sure isn't it?

[hard drift]

[odd sand]

I got my mom to buy me a pair when I was in elementary school and I wore them once and almost rolled my ankle. Definitely not comfortable =\

[deep sapphire]

[jaunty light]

those shoes + this sweater + these joggers

[deep sapphire]

chucks or payless shoes, pick your path

[hard drift]

tf is a chucks

[modest moss]

converse

[deep sapphire]

chuck taylors

[sly elk]

rolling your ankle is a pretty common shoe problem

[jaunty light]

and they just "reminded" us that sweatpants are disallowed at work

[hard drift]

that means nothing to me

[sly elk]

some shoes include more support around the edges for that exact reason

[deep sapphire]

.

[modest moss]

converse, chucks

[deep sapphire]

how do you not know what chucks are omg

[hard drift]

idk much about converse

[deep sapphire]

so you've never seen these at all?

[hard drift]

eww that's fugly

[odd sand]

I've low-key considered getting womens sneakers if I could find a size large enough bc they generally have more color choices, but I dunno if the insole/bridge support would work. But I think nowadays if you're willing to order online there is a lot larger color selection for mens, so I should see what htey have

[modest moss]

fucking hell

[jaunty light]

@deep sapphirethis is my other pair of RSX

[deep sapphire]

nice 90s colors

[jaunty light]

yea dude fuck all these brands bein like "men shoe: black"

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

urban legends flying around that they were funded/owned by the KKK and that some pairs had "thanks n-words" printed under the innersole

[jaunty light]

all the RS rn got kinda lame colors for mens other than maybe this one

[deep sapphire]

haha wtf really?

I need to google that

[jaunty light]

[hard drift]

those actually look cool

[deep sapphire]

better start saving them paychecks

350 bucks

[hard drift]

the coloring and patina 🙏 so nice

[odd sand]

Of course with those, you can get them resoled for a fraction of the cost. So they pay for themselves in the long-run

[hard drift]

😐

[deep sapphire]

I like thorogood better but redwings do last longer than any boot ever made, they add some thicc boi leather on them bois

thorogood are comfortable out of the box, and standing on concrete for 10-12 hours a day sometimes I can go home without my feet wanting to die

[odd sand]

Put some Superfeet in them :)

[hard drift]

tf is a superfeet?

[odd sand]

They're just a popular brand of off-the-shelf insoles

[deep sapphire]

you can stand on your feet for 60 days straight!? /s

[hard drift]

those look pretty bad

[sly elk]

how amusing

[hard drift]

this is stupid

my brother plugs his iphone into my mac to get some pictures for ebay

and it only shows a small amount of the pictures on his phone in the photos app lmao

this... this is where I hate iphones

but my experience with android devices is equally awful with that one

-plugs in- notification pops up asking if I want to use it as a mass storage device or whatever

[jaunty light]

programmer socks

[odd sand]

Yeah Apple reallllly wants you putting all your stuff into icloud

[sly elk]

I do that and pictures don't show

OH I need to use the android file transfer app

but wait this phone's a samsung and those don't work with it

-throws phone out window-

[odd sand]

What android phones dont let you copy files directly off them anymore>?

[sly elk]

idk all of them?

[odd sand]

I've always been able to just connect my phone and copy pictures off

[sly elk]

i want that

[odd sand]

The only thing that might mess that up is if the pics are on the internal vs SDcard storage

I forget which it has to be bc otherwise it can't mount it if the phone is being used

Although a number of newer android phones are now doing all internal storage with no sdcard slot bc flash prices are cheaper and it eliminates the file perms issues with SDcard

Bc realistically most people aren't going to fill up 256gb or 512gb storage quickly

[sly elk]

oh, hah

I think I figured out why what he's looking for isn't on there 😄

he is constantly recording stupid videos

they're not actually on his phone

huzzah

and you can airdrop an entire album. nice.

[sly elk]

ya know what I find funny about gamestop selling PC stuff

back in the 90s electronics boutique / babages also did that...

like that's where I remember seeing a voodoo 3 3500 box the first time lol

I'll show you some voodoo that doodoo all ova nvidia's TNT crew

this is ridiculous lol

@deep sapphire thoughts on truck bed covers?

I mean, I suppose if you consider it just a big car with a big trunk

[deep sapphire]

Don’t get hard tops

If you have to load anything higher than the cover you’re tucked

[sly elk]

i wonder if it's easier to remove than a camper shell

[deep sapphire]

Fucked

[sly elk]

oh my

it looks terrible

[deep sapphire]

They are ugly but they are practical

[sly elk]

yeah

[deep sapphire]

If you are using a truck for actual work they are very nice

[sly elk]

it becomes more like a giant minivan

[deep sapphire]

But I agree they are ugly

[sly elk]

idk they worked ok with old trucks

[deep sapphire]

Hell you’d be better off just buying a suburban lol

[sly elk]

i think it's just goofy looking because of the spoiler lol

and maybe the shape of the bed

and how tall the bed is, relative to the top

come to think of it, I really don't see camper shells on new trucks that often

[deep sapphire]

There’s a rumor Chevy is gonna make a suburban HD again

I dunno why they stopped making them it’s a good idea tbh

[sly elk]

that vintage look tho

[deep sapphire]

[deep sapphire]

Like that’s the funniest part though

If you need a shell

Just buy a burb

You can access the rear and have other shit too Lmao

[sly elk]

canyonero!

[deep sapphire]

Don’t those cost like 100Gs

[sly elk]

I think even more

idk what to think about that design

ugly? yes

the rear totally reminds me of an old ram van

[deep sapphire]

Haha wheels look tiny

[sly elk]

the current escalade is so goofy looking

i imagine they rounded the upper half to make it more fuel efficient

but my goodness

[deep sapphire]

Make sure you get the 13100F

LOL

[sly elk]

aww

you're going to take a horrible wash selling things

i think you should just use what you have and tweak the settings so it doesn't chug 500w and fry your motherboard

?! sweet

are you dumping the 3090 too?

[sweet atlas]

@deep sapphire did you get the ios update

Faceid with mask

The 5800x3d benchmarks are all for 1080p

Where are the 4k benchmarks

[real edge]

holy shit bruv

[hard drift]

😎 intel loses again

[hard drift]

4k is stupid because it will make little to no difference

4k is more gpu bound than cpu even now

[real edge]

the massive performance improvement tho

wow

over the older parts

[modest moss]

what's the price comparison between 5800x3d and 12900k?

[hard drift]

like 300 cheaper if not more

oh wait k not ks

like 200ish cheaper

[real edge]

ye

[modest moss]

still a huge amount

[hard drift]

yeah

@deep sapphire now what can you say

[dull garnet]

Jeb

[real edge]

12900k is 150-200euro more expensive

[dull garnet]

I'll grab one as an EoL upgrade for the AM4 platform in a few years

[real edge]

assuming x3d stays at 450euro

[hard drift]

but the improvements of the 5800x vs 5800x3D is immense

[modest moss]

he can say wait until we see how reliable it is and that benchmarks don't always tell the whole story

[sharp star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBFNoKUHjcg

[hard drift]

yeah but it's a good sign that it's quite a bit better than 5800x already

[kindred brook]

Must not upgrade yet

[modest moss]

I'd definitely consider one if I wasn't poor though

[kindred brook]

I can waiting dad

I am waiting dad

[real edge]

as someone that bought a 2700x with an x470 board years ago

this is a big deal

I can slot it in

[hard drift]

yeah, it's a massive potential upgrade

[real edge]

no new board, no new ram

[hard drift]

also thinking on how this might improve next gen cpus

[modest moss]

yeah that sounds like a no brainer for you Nhadala

[real edge]

yeah

my 1070 will not be able to put it to full use

[modest moss]

get that and a gpu at a decent price and you basically have a brand new pc

[real edge]

does l3 cache help regardless of what gpu you're running it with?

[hard drift]

it'll still help to some extent but you'd gain a lot more from a gpu upgrade than a cpu upgrade

[real edge]

gpus are still overpriced sadly

[kindred brook]

damn

this keeps falling too

I'll just keep waiting

[kindred brook]

for prices to fall

[modest moss]

yeah you currently have a pretty well matched cpu/gpu, just upgrading the cpu wouldn't be ideal

[real edge]

cheapest one is still 200euro over msrp

[hard drift]

yeah, i'd save for a gpu upgrade rather than getting a new cpu currently especially for higher resolutions like if you're gaming at 1440p/4k

[real edge]

1440p monitor

[modest moss]

give it another couple of months, it's not like your cpu/gpu are actually bad

[real edge]

ran elden ring fine at high settings 60fps

[modest moss]

yeah definitely wait, unless you feel like you can afford the extra

[real edge]

I hope they drop to msrp

[hard drift]

soon ™️

[real edge]

ye

they have been dropping a lot retail-price wise here

over the past couple of months

[hard drift]

yeah, stuff is still inflated even over here but can find a lot more around msrp now

[real edge]

my retail stores are glorified scalpers

so no msrp

<insert brit talking shit about greece here>

[real edge]

my father is from the UK

so I am a halfie

[modest moss]

then you know we actually quite like the Greeks

[real edge]

he actually bothered learning the language to visit me so I absolutely think so yes

[modest moss]

at least that's always been my perception, I grew up in London and had a bunch of Greek friends at school

we definitely talk shit about Greece though, but we do about everyone lol

[dull garnet]

lol

[modest moss]

that's the 5800x3d? less than half the i9 power consumption?

that's huge

[real edge]

the i9 draws more power than my gpu

[modest moss]

especially with current fuel prices

[hard drift]

the only thing that really beats the 5800x3d is the 12900ks and it's not by much. the only thing is it depends on the titles you play

[real edge]

and electricity prices :<

[modest moss]

my bills are about to pretty much double from May

yeah by fuel I meant my household gas/electricity

[real edge]

I thankfully locked a contract before the huge price bump so what I pay will remain reasonable until the contract expires

[hard drift]

hopefully it returns to normal before your contract expires 🙏

[real edge]

and the provider shows no signs of breaking the contracts

I hope so

I cannot afford 150+euro bills

I only get 313 a month as income

[hard drift]

😔

[real edge]

now I pay about 45-55 depending on usage

[modest moss]

I'm going to be paying £175+/month

can't afford it, but have no choice

[real edge]

wtf

[modest moss]

yeah, UK prices are fucked, genuinely might not be able to afford to run my pc for gaming

[real edge]

usually prices that high are that high because of bullshit clauses

at least here

[modest moss]

that's just going to be standard variable tariff and a fixed price will be even more

[real edge]

ye I am not sure about the english translation of the clauses we have here

but its basically the provider pays a price for the electricity and you pay the difference that they paid if its over a certain amount

that is what kills most bills here

and why I never sign contracts with clauses like that

too unpredictable

[modest moss]

we have a government forced cap on prices but it can go up every 6 months

so come october I'll be paying probably £250+/month

[real edge]

I wish I knew the market over there

but paying for a fixed price contract with no clauses and locking yourself to that seems like a good idea right now but its probably too late

[modest moss]

yeah I was already on one, and then all of a sudden the prices went up and all the advice has been don't sign a new fixed price contract

either way was going to be a huge increase

[real edge]

they can adjust the price at any time even when you're on a contract? what is the point of a contract then

[modest moss]

no my deal just happened to be ending at a bad time

[real edge]

ohh

[modest moss]

and general prices shot up

[real edge]

makes sense

[modest moss]

hopefully certain conflicts end and the world can go back to more sensible prices

but I'm not holding my breath

[potent arrow]

I waiting for China to do a certain something and watch the economy catch on fire

No

Invade a certain country

It's not the matter of If it's when

And with the current world luck, it'll be after the whole russie thing or during it

[modest moss]

this is really depressing, Nhadala shut us down for rule 4 to preserve my mental health

I'll just eat cream cakes and drink tea instead of worrying about the world going to shit

[potent arrow]

But uhm for those very reasons, I'm really hesitant to get hopes up for prices

[potent arrow]

I try not too, but I've become so very doomer lmfao

The last two years have not been very kind

[real edge]

if you're in europe you're safe most likely

seems too expensive still

[kindred brook]

3080 dropped to 899 at bestbuy

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[potent arrow]

I mean, right now it's the worse time to be a student. With the economy how it is currently, I cannot afford a home, apartment etc. Gas is expensive, and I might have to quit driving for a while. Tution is higher then ever while not being in school. I can't afford a new laptop to replace my current one that's dead. Being an EE, I can barely afford my projects because the parts are out of stock or none imported etc

Economy is fucked and it's rough being a student in Canada rn

Although with their drivers atm…. Idk if it would help lol

AMD is so competitive they cut features and release 2 year old products for 200 dollars

Atleast we don’t have to spend 800+ for a top of the line gaming chip

buy a motorbike mate

Broken 3090

I would love to just buy a 3090

Putting aside all reason

[hard drift]

The regret of buying it?

[modest moss]

seriously, my suggestion from the other day was genuine

run all your tech purchases by us first

we'd have stopped you buying a 3090 and i3

[hard drift]

What do you mean minus the CPU block you literally can use the same CPU block

Wait for what exactly it’s going to be about the same the only thing is you’re of course going to lose the warranty if you wait too long so I’ll just buy it all at once it’s going to be the same socket for both 12th and 13th generation

Honestly speaking you already have the motherboard just run the 13th Jen CPU in it and you’re pretty much said instead of buying extra part

Unless there is an actual reason for you to get rid of that motherboard instead of just a CPU

it's pointless, we should stop wasting our time

Triple rad to cool an i3

[modest moss]

nah he'll buy an i9 and then complain about the power draw being a couple of % outside of spec

could just send me the cash you waste instead

if you wanted to be mindful of electricity you would've never even thought about a 12900ks

intel should team up with corsair or something and bundle their cpus with a 1200w psu

🤔

what?

[dull garnet]

He says

Shoving 9 fans into his chassis

[umbral moss]

the power delivery is limited by pretty much everything between source and sink though

wire ampacity is how he got away with using fewer pins, plus he had to be using special pins that could handle the increased heat load and current being shoved through them

even if you had some stupid wire setup like 000 PCIe cables, the limit is still what the PSU can actually deliver on the source side

and on the sink side the connection is still expecting 150W per input

if you supplied 350W to an 8 pin cluster the regulators on the sink side would just go fuck goons and die

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dull garnet]

the ones that comes with your psu are

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/media/recom/na/pc.html

Im feeling dumb.

[dull garnet]

but probably not with ease

unless you whack Windows on it

[lost pewter]

I was worried about the processor and the graphics.

I totally forgot about windows.... might be able to throw it on there, not sure.

[dull garnet]

if this is one you own is it the Celeron, i3, i5 or i7?

with Windows and the i5 or i7 you might get satisfactory performance

[lost pewter]

That i'm not sure about. We bought it for my MIL/FIL and they ended up not liking it, so we bought it back. I should be able to test it Saturday

So looking like all of them will at least run it, even if it is not optimal? Just wanting to level on the chromebox, as right now Im playing on my PC and my husband is on his PS5, but they are in separate rooms. If the chromebox works, I could make a little setup in the living room with him and we can level together more easily.

[dull garnet]

that sounds about right yeah

might have to get the settings way down but if you're just leveling that is probably acceptable

[lost pewter]

Found the specs on ours:
Asus Chromebox 4 Desktop Computer - Intel Celeron 5205U 1.9 GHz - 4GB RAM DDR4 SDRAM - 32 GB Flash Memory Capacity - Intel Chip - Chrome OS- Intel HG Graphics DDR4 SDRAM

oooh, that is gonna be rough. very weak CPU and probably not enough RAM

[hard drift]

do not count on it

Ahh dang, figures haha. Not a problem then, I'll just keep playing on my pc and using discord to talk! Thanks for the help! 🙂

[hard drift]

there's so many things limiting with that pc sadly

[umbral moss]

it's funny that everyone is like "damn that thing's a toaster"

it has a more powerful CPU and more RAM than the workstation at my job

oh no, it's a treat taking 30 minutes to open my email in the morning

the thing has so little memory it spends a full 10 minutes thrashing the HDD for page cache

Unless you have way more storage capacity, you wouldn’t even be able to download the game to start

I actually think Ice is a nice guy even

pretty decent human being

just

dumber than a sack of rocks in terms of tech buying

[deep sapphire]

I think that doesn’t relate to what we’re talking about here lol

I think you just buy things without doing a lot of research

[modest moss]

no it does kind of, he's admitting he's impulse buying to try and make himself happy

[deep sapphire]

Oh

So are you saying your wife suggested you buy a 12100F with a 3090?

does she know what you've actually spent though?

So you didn’t think maybe I should get something that has better value for the dollar

The 3090 is well known as being a horrible value card
