[modest moss]

Aoi just send a polite message asking for an update

[devout nexus]

soft

[royal forge]

Is there an actual point to water cooling?

Noise?

But pumps are loud too?

And radiators

[devout nexus]

honestly i have a custom loop now but ... next time ill prob just get a closed loop or even air

its not truely worth unless you OC

IMO

pump takes a lot of power

[modest moss]

and OC isn't really worth it these days either

just hit that turbo

[devout nexus]

yeah gamings all about GPU, cpu is only important for like huge map games like starcraft etc

MMO CPU is not even really important

[modest moss]

OC is for hobbyist nerds who want to hit big numbers

pretty important in XIV though

[hard drift]

yeah, that'd be the only gain i'd really get from upgrading my cpu

[modest moss]

just go for a balanced system and have fun, don't bother min maxing

[devout nexus]

GL !

i hope you win

[hard drift]

that and being able to scrub the video more on the youtube bars without spiking cpu lol

[devout nexus]

going to be a bunch of ways to enter

haha naw its social media things i think

they still deciding

[potent arrow]

yes

[royal forge]

Hmmm

Email or whatsapp

[modest moss]

wherever you have been talking

[royal forge]

Sigh

Alright

Hello, I have a laptop under RMA at the moment (RMA Num). I was wondering if there are any updates about ir? Or anything I can help with?

How does that sound

[devout nexus]

sounds perfect

business writing is all about being concise and accurate

[royal forge]

AY YO FUCK FACE WHERE MY LAPTOP U BITCH ASS

That was my original msg

[devout nexus]

haha thats just how you feel 😛

[royal forge]

I bet they have me on block now

[devout nexus]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ mines using 12% and its 6 generations old in ff14

[royal forge]

Takes u five days to check and error code it seems

Im taking bets that the morons havent even statted

Started*

[late basalt]

Laptop problems?

[royal forge]

@potent arrow can you throw them into ur new microwave?

[royal forge]

Ye. A whole sga

Saga*

[late basalt]

tbf it’s part of why i said buy from a big box store if possible ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[devout nexus]

yeah the bigger the store the more power they have over manufacturer

[royal forge]

But it also means they dont really put in effort to fix shit, from my experience

They wont replace what needs replacin

[late basalt]

It’s not that

[royal forge]

Oh well... im off to hunt for a display case for my gundam i guess

[devout nexus]

cool

[late basalt]

It’s the fact that boutique stores can/will give you the moon in order to get your money, but when it comes to servicing the equipment, they can take forever, claim user negligence, etc etc

[devout nexus]

yeah i see what you mean

thats true

[sick edge]

Need a 1000w psu.. any recommendations?

[modest moss]

why do you need 1000w?

[deep sapphire]

Wants to use an old case from 2006 but needs 1000w PSU

this channel is top tier shitposting

[modest moss]

this channel

haha gmta

[sly elk]

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

what do you want a 1000w psu for?

[deep sapphire]

She’s nice and clean now bois

Looks like a new tool sorta not really

[sly elk]

i run a 9700k and a 3080ti off a 750w evga g3 😄

[modest moss]

not bad for a freebie

[deep sapphire]

I agree shue I agree

Took it apart, the gears had plenty of grease it was just dirty

[modest moss]

and when you get your refund you can buy a different tool

[deep sapphire]

Little WD40 and she’s good as new

Exactly

[modest moss]

don't paint it now, it looks too good

[deep sapphire]

Nope she’s gonna be pink now

[modest moss]

hah you madlad

[deep sapphire]

LMAO

WD40

God’s gift to us

[sick edge]

I mean... uh.. since I listened to y'all advice, I trashed the old case gpu.. you know.. the reason i asked here in the first place?

I listen!

[devout nexus]

you in canada hank?

[deep sapphire]

No

[devout nexus]

*ninja vanish

[late basalt]

have you ever seen hank apologize for anything?

[deep sapphire]

I live in Minnesota

It’s Canada

But like

Not

[devout nexus]

haha

[sick edge]

how hard is that minnesata accent?

[modest moss]

now say why you want a 1000w psu

[deep sapphire]

It’s noticeable but not Fargo the movie bad

[sick edge]

Cause 3080 + i7 + questionable ITX mobo I can't find the Wattage for.

So I figured I's getoverhead.

[modest moss]

yeah no

[sick edge]

I never saw fargo

[deep sapphire]

You only need 1000w if you got some beefy shit. Your setup would be fine at 850

[modest moss]

you want 750-850

[deep sapphire]

Even 800

[sick edge]

Ya think?

[modest moss]

like kyanche just said he's running i7 + 3080ti on a 750

[deep sapphire]

If your PSU is rated too high for your demands it actually becomes less efficient

[sick edge]

I mean I'll check price diffs though.

[modest moss]

so go 850 at most, unless you're going to do stupid shit

[sick edge]

What counts as stupid?

Cause I will do whatever. O~O

[deep sapphire]

Trust me I had dual GTX 580s and an i7 990X with a beefy OC and tons of fans and I still only peaked at 830w load

[sick edge]

OK then...... what's the recommended 850...

I mean, that was the logical followup.

[deep sapphire]

Seasonic, evga, Corsair are good brands

[sick edge]

So don't trust something called a maingear?

[sly elk]

take a look at that PSU list https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

it's not perfection but it's based on which ones have been reviewed and received favorable comments, among other things

[sick edge]

That's what reviews are for yeah. =P

[sly elk]

I favor corsair and evga because they are US-based and probably the 2 most likely to replace fried hardware if it decides to do that

if you want something really fancy, be quiet makes the fanciest PSU I've ever seen

oh also, there's the asus white strix psu

[sick edge]

Nah, jsut somethign affordable but won't blow up.

Sicne the case is smoll

[sly elk]

ha weird. a few days ago amazon had it for 189 :\

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-heatsinks-Axial-tech-Technology-Certification/dp/B08BX7JXC3

yea evga g6 is probably the way to go, then. they are usually the cheapest.

oof I take that back.

https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-RM850x-Certified-Modular-Supply/dp/B079H5WNXN

[sick edge]

I never got the certification thing, isn't everything basically gold certified?

[sly elk]

yea gold/platinum don't mean much

[sick edge]

So titanium means somethign? XD

[late basalt]

not really

[sly elk]

oh I meant, if it's good it's good

usually the good ones are at least gold

but platinum doesn't necessarily mean better than gold

[late basalt]

really only an issue if you're decided between bronze and gold or w/e

[sick edge]

But what aboutt itanium?...

which is such a weird metal to be above plat...

[sly elk]

titanium PSUs are usually expensive

https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Titanium-Efficiency-virtually-inaudible/dp/B08XXXVCS2

the 1500w dark power pro comes with fancy cables

just like the asus thor PSUs do

[sick edge]

It looks nice doe...

[sly elk]

thing is who cares?

the vast majority of cases are going to hide the PSU lol

[sick edge]

Fair.

Quiet is nice though.

I'm way too used to my laptop's external cooler that I added.

[deep sapphire]

They’re all quiet

You’ll literally never notice it

[sick edge]

Fair.. cause of ALL THE OTHER FAN NOISES!

Whooooosh. XD

[deep sapphire]

Most modern PSUs have adaptive fans so the fan will only turn on once a temperature threshold has been reached

[sick edge]

gpu fan, cpu fan, case fan, so many fans

[modest moss]

that 850w corsair for $120 should be great

[sick edge]

okee, thanks

[late basalt]

and it's not like the PSU fan is going to be the main contributor at that point either

[deep sapphire]

god anti tampering packaging needs to die

getting those 2 batteries out was a mother fucker

[hard drift]

Lmao

[deep sapphire]

L M A O

[modest moss]

[deep sapphire]

no good idea

[jaunty light]

I have a nail and a gun does that count

[modest moss]

not really

[deep sapphire]

https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Woodworking/Nailers-and-Staplers/Framing-Nailers/2745-20

sexy

I have no need for this

[jaunty light]

[deep sapphire]

https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/MXF370-2XC

o-oh my

PUSH HEAD

[jaunty light]

what are you supposed to do with this

[modest moss]

uh

[jaunty light]

wtf why is this like $1300

save $1300 by using a bat

[modest moss]

why would you want to vibrate concrete?

[latent grotto]

I mean

Why is the apple stand $1100

[jaunty light]

because apple sucks

[deep sapphire]

MAMA MIA

[modest moss]

or is the vibrator made of concrete?

I am confused

[latent grotto]

Oh no

[jaunty light]

apparently you must stimulate the concrete so it settles correctly without air bubbles

[latent grotto]

Hank the apple shill is here

[deep sapphire]

lets go play rappy slots

I like the rappy when it dances

[latent grotto]

Haven't been in the casino for like a year

[deep sapphire]

do it now

[latent grotto]

No

[deep sapphire]

okay

[modest moss]

is that nail gun compatible with your new free batteries?

[deep sapphire]

it is

[modest moss]

sweet

[deep sapphire]

if it says M18 on it, it'll work with any M18 battery

but if it doesnt say fuel on it im not using it, I only use HEAVY DUTY®

CONCRETE VIBRATOR

[modest moss]

it doesn't say how many nails in a clip

[deep sapphire]

a lot

[jaunty light]

high capacity assault clip

[deep sapphire]

we have a sawzall at work that has the old milwaukee logo, which I think they switched in the late 90s

that fucker has to be pretty old

[sly elk]

Kinky

[modest moss]

ever since I watched The Wire I've wanted a good quality nail gun

[sly elk]

That said

[deep sapphire]

the wire is a great show

[sly elk]

Sitting on top of the clothes dryer

Is the best

[deep sapphire]

true

why not both

[sly elk]

Wow I said that in tech chat

How terribly off topic

[deep sapphire]

thats it im getting the mods

remember that one day when out of no where the mods got pissy in here

summoning mods in this channel pfft

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-santania-gabriel-dropout-evil-smile-creepy-smile-gif-17194877

[modest moss]

the mods won't ever trouble us again in here

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

they know we have it covered

[jaunty light]

they gave you too much power

[modest moss]

yes I even made Honk behave

[jaunty light]

feet of the forbidden

(Shue)

and then .. whatever hank is

[jaunty light]

are you implicating that I was misbehaved?

[deep sapphire]

I only click #952326072542847016 once a week

[sly elk]

[sly elk]

Besides it’s my favorite pretty gold phone lol

[jaunty light]

of course whoever this is owns beats

[sharp star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wno4t7YqMM4

[sly elk]

That face is menacing hahaha

[deep sapphire]

https://i.imgur.com/41XW0PR.png

please tell me thats an emote in his discord

[sly elk]

My only complaint about beats is they’re too small and clamp too hard

[jaunty light]

you must buy appropriately sized nip clamps kya

being an apple fan is ... hard

[sly elk]

Lol

[deep sapphire]

oh I know what tool im gonna buy

a right angle impact

[jaunty light]

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

I think they forgot about me

[deep sapphire]

I never forgot about you bb

[sly elk]

10 mins for cookies

[sly elk]

I was thinking about getting goth ear piercings though

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/cybergoth-dance-party-deutschland-goth-rave-gif-19376446

[deep sapphire]

I bet you worked at hot topic in 1993

[jaunty light]

yeah I did how did you know

shot a commercial for em back in teh day

[deep sapphire]

because I was the one flirting with you after closing

[jaunty light]

i think u have the wrong goth girl in mind

[deep sapphire]

yeah true

[royal forge]

I'm collecting bets on how long it'll take em to update me on my laptop and also how long it'll take em to repair the damned thing

Predictions would be the better term i guess

[deep sapphire]

1-2 weeks

is routine turn around

any later you are getting fucked over

[modest moss]

you'll get an update on wednesday saying they're not sure

and finally get it back may 14th

not fixed

and they'll want you to pay shipping

[royal forge]

Hank, sent in my order, arrived 18th, RMA issued 19th. So you're sayin 2 weeks max from 19th?

[royal forge]

I bet they'll make me pay

Which is very.. i dunoe

[deep sapphire]

yeah

[royal forge]

I think its bad customer service

[royal forge]

If they dont giv it back by 3 weeks i'll just buildaybe

Maybe

[modest moss]

do your credit card company offer any protection?

[royal forge]

No

Paid in cash

[deep sapphire]

never use cash for anything

same with debit

[royal forge]

CCs not so common here

[deep sapphire]

use a credit card for every purchase

and pay it off every month so you dont have interest payments

its essentially a debit card but as shue said, has protections and benefits

[royal forge]

But this is a warranty thing than a purchase

But i have friends near their place so

I can ask for favours i guess

I just need my CPU swapped i think

[dreamy chasm]

I love steve

[deep sapphire]

he loves you too

I just know it

[dreamy chasm]

No way

[modest moss]

the saga continues

[deep sapphire]

just buy a 180mm AIO lol

[modest moss]

he's buying this as temporary cooling to last 4-6 weeks

it's just more icehunter nonsense

[deep sapphire]

ah gotcha

Ice can you like

stop wasting your money

[modest moss]

he can't

[deep sapphire]

its not good for you bro browses home depot for tools

[modest moss]

he's rushing it so he can sell the i3 today instead of in a month

and he'll regret it

[sly elk]

lol I was getting nostalgic about luxury american coupes in DMs with hank

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

if i ran ford

i'd come out with a Lincoln Mk IX

idk how i'd do it though

the mustang is too small to make a luxury coupe out of

GM could make a new cadillac coupe

they have the perfect platform for it

[modest moss]

your custom loop shit?

[deep sapphire]

ORGANIZATION

Yeah

Show me it

[royal forge]

Damn. A free tetanus jab everytime you stick your hand in

[sly elk]

i don't have that many tools

ice's box of empty fan boxes?

[deep sapphire]

look at all that lumber

[sly elk]

?

i see 1 piece of wood

a stack of baseboards

multiple silver rolls of stuff

[deep sapphire]

oh im blind

you're right

[sly elk]

idk what the silver rolls are

some kinda flooring

that piece of wood is also a stack of a few pieces

might be extra flooring?

in that case the silver rolls are probably laminate flooring underlayment?

[deep sapphire]

did you know DeWalt cant market their tools as 20v outside of america because its technically 18v lmao

"20v max"

[sly elk]

i like how he has 3 rolls of christmas lights

[deep sapphire]

20v for half a second

[sly elk]

but there's no christmas lights on the rolls

are you like me?

[royal forge]

Damn. Ice is as addicted to xmas lights as he is to buying expensive gpus

[sly elk]

in 2019 we put up the christmas lights

we put them on every night

until my brother decided to take them down this februrary

[royal forge]

Should have just kept it on

[sly elk]

YES

[royal forge]

Only 9 months to xmas

[sly elk]

I'm annoyed he took them down

[royal forge]

Fool

Now its more work

[sly elk]

it made the yard look nicer and lighter

now it's all dark

[royal forge]

If you can change the color

hank does your truck have a cassette player?

[deep sapphire]

nope, and the radio doesnt work very well

[sly elk]

[sly elk]

suddenly i want one

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

[sly elk]

they did it before that but it was on the door frame

much to my surprise

[jaunty light]

but I wear NR30 earplugs + have my music maxed out when I ride the bike

[sly elk]

let's go

[jaunty light]

I miss having long hair but I don't

[sly elk]

i've never tried $40 shampoo

it better smell amazing

[jaunty light]

it's pretty much worth it since you only use it like twice a week

[deep sapphire]

stop calling me bitch im very fragile

[sly elk]

also 3 screens

because I wanted a 3 screen setup for 20 years

[deep sapphire]

are those diapers in the corner?

thats smart thinking

[sly elk]

and now i have it!

[deep sapphire]

dont have to get up and shit

[sly elk]

also around the time i bouhgt the 2 side monitors

my older autistic bro was getting super anxious about deliveries and people visiting and stuff so i put cameras up so he could see what was going on outside

and the left screen has those up most of the time lol

right one just has stuff like music or whatever

[royal forge]

Also, why ur hair so long

Smh

Feels like u wont really b enjoying any of those if ur doin it simultaneously

Maybe im just odd

At most i can do like.. a casual talk stream and game

But i mute my streams if i do like, raids etc

[jaunty light]

@royal forge

[royal forge]

Like nier raids

[jaunty light]

flex on him!

[royal forge]

How the fuck are you fuckets affording so nice setups

U all sellin drugs or smthn

Fkin hell

I shuda done that

Wrong career choice by me

Bit hard to

[jaunty light]

also what is this ungodly box

even the $15k 7920s we had weren't that fucking beefy jfc

that thing is sooooo long

we had dual xeon 18c and 128GB systems but they are way smaller

heavy as shit though I'd guess they're 50-60

mine dont look like that now, got the vertical up top now

vert is nice tho..

[sly elk]

cuz i like it that way

[royal forge]

Nah. Im good. I'm a practising doctor in the midst of trying to specialize

Nah

God forbid

[jaunty light]

treat gunshot victims, become rich in america.

[sly elk]

oh definitely not here

specialized surgeons here make baaank

yea most devs make like 200k max

max max

[royal forge]

200k usd per year?

Thats p amazin

[sly elk]

it is

but a specialist surgeon here can make >1mil a year

easily

and the house prices match that lmao

[jaunty light]

just become amazon L7

[royal forge]

To practise in US is hard cuz they make it tough to get in

[jaunty light]

your base will never be near that but you can get to like 850k total comp

[sly elk]

nah I am trying to correct the idea that your average programmer makes 300-500k

it's so not true lol

though

later this year imma take ice's advice and probably jump ship

[jaunty light]

that sit

[sly elk]

i'm pretty sure my company will give me a like 3% raise lol

[jaunty light]

that's it*?

200-300 in bay area is poverty

[sly elk]

it IS

ahhahaha

[jaunty light]

shoebox apartment

not worth it

[sly elk]

it depends on the neighborhood though

[jaunty light]

ill get 0.2% this year (Again)

they won't hire you

[sly elk]

it's rather unlikely they'll give you 200k if you don't live nearby-ish

that's same timezone $$

[jaunty light]

duckdick

[sly elk]

lol someone should make a porn engine called dickdickgo

[jaunty light]

it's a hard sell even if you're in the same timezone in my experience. they want locality on city not even T/Z or radius.

oh you don't live in SF? here's 50k

[sly elk]

lol

they don't want remote employees***

[jaunty light]

4am.. naw you're like fucked up if you are in asia

graveyard

[sly elk]

i think when it comes to work and making $$ the thing is there's always opportunities and there's always something better. and often the opportunities introduce themselves when you're not looking

the part that kinda makes it annoying is when you're good and happy and could make more but don't wanna interview

and everyone wants you to interview

[jaunty light]

I dusted of ye olde resume today and threw it at 4 places but I know 1 ain't gonna do it

[jaunty light]

I need both a pay increase and benefits increase

[sly elk]

i want that 300k/year job

so I can AFFORD TO BUY A *(@#% HOUSE

[jaunty light]

yep

california

aka a 500sqft house is $250k

[sly elk]

oof bmw

they went there.

[jaunty light]

terrible

wtf

[sly elk]

RGB DASH

[jaunty light]

they went full mercedes

that is a cluster that goes across like mercedes it looks like?

[jaunty light]

yep

[sly elk]

yea giant screens 😦

[jaunty light]

impossible for anyone to buy a house unless they already have money or have an assload of income

[sly elk]

as for the exterior

it looks unfinished

i like the boxier shape though

it's like a chinese chrysler 300 or something

X_X

yeah house prices are insane atm

but what happens out here is there's basically nothing available

they exist but it really depends

the name they use for those depends on the region a lot

like in SF, row houses are just called houses.. because almost all of the houses are row houses

[jaunty light]

townhomes arent really a thing where i am in cali, but my friends that live in VA they have an HOA in their townhome

[sly elk]

in other places row houses are called townhouses

in a lot of places, they're just duplex houses

or 'duets'

sometimes in california 'townhouse' is used but really they mean 'condo'

out here when they say townhouse, they mean these

[boreal surge]

Re:multifloor houses that are wall to wall to your neighbour

[sly elk]

• you get your own laundry

• you can hear your neighbor take a shit

[jaunty light]

lol yeah

[zealous wolf]

those types of homes weirds me out..

unless thewalls are soundproof..

though i am for multiplex houses to help with the housing issues..

[boreal surge]

Build your house out of concrete :/

[zealous wolf]

[sly elk]

they usually aren't in california

cuz earthquakes

unless you live in a high rise tower, and then it's just the floor yo

[zealous wolf]

ive seen said pictured houses in a neighborhood like southwest from where i live..

actually theres one like several blocks down the street form where i live..

[boreal surge]

Don’t the japanese build high rises? Even for being natural disaster prone?

[zealous wolf]

as far as im aware, every building in Japan HAS to be built to withstand a quake...

[boreal surge]

Same

[zealous wolf]

im not quite sure if it applies to structures with less than 5 floors..

[sly elk]

i mean, that's true here as well lol

i am amused at how the laptop stand has a notch matching the one for opening the laptop up

[odd sand]

What is the point of a desktop mount if you're still going to use a touchpad and chiclet keyboard

[sly elk]

idk

height for the screen

i find laptop use at a desk horrible

if I'm sitting on a chair with an ottoman or something, sure I can put my knees up so that the screen is at a reasonable height

[jaunty light]

https://computers.woot.com/offers/thermal-grizzly-kryonaut-thermal-paste-1-gram?utm_medium=share&utm_source=app if you can use woot, $4 for kryonaut

[sly elk]

i kidna want some

but i don't think i'd use it any time soon lol

[jaunty light]

$4 good deal!

[sick edge]

[dreamy chasm]

that's a tiny deskmat

[sly elk]

oof

someone bought their bf a chair as a surprise and found out he was going to buy the xl version

... i dunno why secretlab even bothers with 'xl' - it's 0.8" wider and 1.5" taller

xl my ass

[sick edge]

You mean the past...

[sick edge]

It is extra large for your butt. =P

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/japan-imperial-japan-ww2-japan-flag-banzai-gif-19541812

[royal forge]

Not that past. There was no anime then

[sly elk]

the razer enki is about 2" wider

the seat width is actually pretty good on that, but the arm rests are a little bit closer together than I like

[sick edge]

meanwhile.. me in mynoffice depot mesh chair... like a pleb.

[sly elk]

i still want a stream deck

and sometimes a steam deck too

[sly elk]

mesh chairs are good

-headpat-

hehe

sheesh

Meanwhile, thanks to support for video and power delivery over USB-C, setting up the monitor only requires a single cable. This makes it super easy to break down and pack away when friends or family come over. And during the week when we’re too lazy to do that, the whole kit is slim enough we can just push it to the side and still have plenty of room for food.

https://www.engadget.com/asus-rog-strix-xg17ahp-portable-monitor-irl-143018893.html

What made this a bit more challenging is that my main computer at home is a desktop. I’ve always been a big PC person, and I love the speed and flexibility you get with a custom-built rig. (Side note: With work from home becoming a more permanent thing, I feel like there are a lot of people that would benefit from switching to a desktop. Assuming you have the space for it, of course). The downside of this is that I’m pretty limited in where I could put my PC. Big shock I know, but a desktop sort of necessitates having a desk. Thankfully, my wife graciously offered to let me use the one in our bedroom (which I honestly can’t appreciate enough), while she moved her workspace out to our dining table in the living room.

I sometimes have to remind myself that some people really hate the appearance of a computer in their living room

[sick edge]

I also want both sometimes...

[sick edge]

Minimalism can get dumb

[sly elk]

I think minimalism can be great

but you can be really minimalist with a desk, chair, and computer

[sick edge]

My dream is a central pc position and mobile spots I cannuse a wireless monitor or an extend amount of mpnitors woth lightnspeed wireless mouse and keyboard

[sly elk]

like you can make an imac setup look very stylish and unobtrusive

https://www.reddit.com/r/macsetups/comments/r9pcl4/basic_imac_setup/
like that, I guess. although that one has a dedicated desk lol

or this, even, I suppose

https://www.reddit.com/r/macsetups/comments/m5oujw/27_imac_tiny_setup/

HEHE

it seems the really stylish ones always use yellow imacs lol

that chair is killing the mood lol

ahaha i love this one

[stark hedge]

Hi everyone, so I just picked up dual HP X27q's I feel like there's a warm filter on or something, is it better to adjust them via the nvidia control panel, or through the screen settings?

Also, this is going to be kind of hard for me to explain, but I previously had a single 1080p 165hz MSI G273 and that thing plugged right up and worked perfectly out of the box. I have a Asus TUF Gaming 3080 Ti OC and it's struggling to run my game at 165fps (running in the 130s) with these two monitors. Should I turn adaptive sync on or keep it off? Are/is there any other settings I need to enable or adjust?

[sly elk]

Adjusting through the screen settings is your best bet

And yes higher screen res and dual monitors will lower performance

[deep sapphire]

haha wtf is this

its the Ramvalanche

yeah it looks like a chevy avalanche

[hard drift]

Ice… why’re you looking at other coolers when you’re doing a custom loop

[deep sapphire]

why would you need a backup cooler, coolers are buy it for life items

[hard drift]

I said a cooler which you already got, not a brand new one

[deep sapphire]

damn if only

[modest moss]

you should ping bidori asking these things

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

didn’t you order the 212 or whatever

[modest moss]

is that real?

[hard drift]

I mean it will cool just not well

[deep sapphire]

nope, but the vehicle above it is

[modest moss]

looks like a cyberpunk 2077 vehicle

[deep sapphire]

they stopped making the Avalanche in I think 2012

no idea why it was a popular truck that had some cool features

[hard drift]

Go for pretty much any 240-280mm aio or a better air cooler such as noctua nhd15

I’d do a noctua purely because longevity and price vs aio

[deep sapphire]

you could fold down the rear seats and open the back to give yourself a longer tailgate

well bed + tailgate

GENIUS I SAY

hahahahahaha

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!

yes

[potent arrow]

I need this

[buoyant falcon]

@lost python I never was able to find that wiki associated with the audiophiles subreddit.

Chinese knockoffs.

Something you soldered together in your basement.

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire @modest moss let's see how fast I can build my new room with nothing but a hammer and a swimming flipper board

[deep sapphire]

LOL

[potent arrow]

I forgot my tool box

So that's all I have

[modest moss]

go

get

it

[lost python]

they have it in their tutorials/guide section but there is alos this

https://www.reddit.com/r/AverageJoeAudiophile/comments/3uoksp/i_have_xxxxx_to_spend_what_should_i_buy_bookshelf/

[potent arrow]

This is all I need

I think

Probably

Maybe

[lost python]

bit old but still good

[modest moss]

you might need a screwdriver or allen key?

[lost python]

alternatively lots of good stuff here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BudgetAudiophile/

[potent arrow]

Hammer + screw

[buoyant falcon]

Lot of bookshelf speakers in the mix too.

[lost python]

the sidebar of the budget sub also has recommendations for others

[modest moss]

Is the tutorial section you're talking about in this subreddit or in the regular audiophile subreddit?

[potent arrow]

Watch me drop a shelf on my head and fucking get another concussion lmfao

[modest moss]

[potent arrow]

[modest moss]

[potent arrow]

Ooo found my pocket knife

[modest moss]

got ice handy?

[potent arrow]

@lost python ngl I find reddit a double edged sword when it comes to audio. It's like, good audio always stays good. But sometimes new stuff gets around and the sub reddits still full of the old stuff, and people stuck in their opinions. So you end up having weird wishy washy options lmfao

[modest moss]

for when you chop a finger off and need to transport it to the ER

[potent arrow]

Probably shue

I do have a full first aid kit on the car

[modest moss]

just be careful

[potent arrow]

You can't help stupid

[lost python]

and yet its still better than those self-proclaimed audiophile forums or magazines recommending you skullcandy or razer headsets for audiophile gaming sound

[modest moss]

is head-fi no longer good?

[potent arrow]

The real secret sauce is the forums now and self research

[buoyant falcon]

These guides seem to mostly be for tower, power speaker, and bookshelf setups. Kinda just looking for normal PC speakers and a subwoofer. :x

[jaunty light]

Sarah its lunch time

[sick edge]

o-o...

Sarahbpne of them freaks who eats dinner at 4 PM... shudder

[potent arrow]

That's one of 7

[lost python]

none of them mean that you cant use them on your PC

[buoyant falcon]

I have a limit setup. :x

Small one bedroom apartment.

[lost python]

my edifiers are also categorized as "bookshelf speakers" but i still have them on my desk for usage with my pc and they are great for that

i have mine standing behind my screens

[buoyant falcon]

Not an option with my desk setup unfortunately. My desk has little coves for the monitors. :x

[lost python]

if you got no space, then just headphones will probably be better

could at best maybe look at a soundbar if you got space for that at least

or invest into monitor arms to so you can free up that deskspace at least

[buoyant falcon]

I got space, just limited space. I could probably go with a setup where my computer speakers double as my TV speakers (they are right next to each other) but I'm unsure of how much of a pain in the ass that might be to set up.

[potent arrow]

Not a pain at all

[jaunty light]

I do that too

[buoyant falcon]

Does it require like buying a switcher?

[potent arrow]

I'll just use an amp that has two inputs and one output

[deep sapphire]

People who cry about sound quality with wireless ear buds ACKTUALLY APPLE KILLED IT WHEN THEY TOOK AWAY THE HEADPHONE JACK NOW I CANT LISTEN TO MY FLAC APHEX TWIN TORRENTED MUSIC ON MY 800 DOLLAR CUSTOM EDMS REEEEE

[deep sapphire]

Exactly but they have to tell you how much they hate apple anyway

[sly elk]

they carry one of these strapped to the back of their iphone

or these days they probably use some obscure $400 music player

my bad. $699.

can probably get a used one on ebay for 300

https://www.ebay.com/itm/224951622984?epid=230255760

that's not exactly the same, but siimilar, yea?

seems the cheapest gold ones are like 1500

it looks like a good self defense tool

i hope those buttons have a satisfying click

[potent arrow]

Kyanche look at my m17

Like Google it

It's a fat brick

(I mostly use it for work stuff)

[sly elk]

wowww

work stuff?

honestly it's gorgeous

i kinda wish they made phones that looked like that

ooo it has a volume dial

none of these have a sliding mute switch though, and I like that...

[jaunty light]

Just cut out a brick and superglue the phone to it

[dull garnet]

I listen to flac via my pixel 6 with apple earpods

[jaunty light]

I use a thunderbolt to 3.5mm to 6.3mm to USBC adapter to a DAC and amp to play ogg on my hd800s

[buoyant falcon]

My TV has an optical out while my PC does not. If I got one with both an analogue and opitcal input would it just be able to play from either?

[sick edge]

I would make funnof that as an mp3 player but i agreee with thism i want thag phone. ;-;

[sick edge]

Das a lot of numbers and letters

I put on earbuds and Bluetooth to my laptop or phone....

[modest moss]

my little keyboard died and I had to open that razer one I bought last summer and it's too big

[sly elk]

sadness

[modest moss]

this will stifle my shitposting

[buoyant falcon]

Running into issues with many of these speakers being out of stock... Wondering if I should just go brick and mortar.

[sick edge]

Or will it?

[modest moss]

it is

have to retrain my posture, or buy a new kb

I'm at my sofa using a tiny desk thing and the full sized kb has me typing off to the left by a few inches

[sly elk]

i don't get why the goxlr stuff and the razer equivalent have no mac support ><

[buoyant falcon]

What's the exact name for the kind of adapter that I would need to connect two red/white stereo connections to normal green speaker outlet on PC?

[sly elk]

this might not be the right name

but minijack to rca?

[buoyant falcon]

Meh, might just be easier to do Bluetooth.

[sly elk]

that is like a $5 cable you can get at lots of stores

including like walmart or whatever, even walgreens

[buoyant falcon]

Yeah but the speakers I'm looking at are Bluetooth. And since I want to connect it to my TV and my PC, if I went wired on both setups I would have a huge mess of wires.

So I think I'll do wired for the TV and bluetooth for my PC.
