I am kinda waiting for AM5 haha

minor finch
#

I also hear the rumor of them reconsider it after that Comfirm came news came out

hard drift
#

until they post anything official, it's only ddr5

minor finch
#

And current rumored that zen 4 ipc increase isn’t beautiful

hard drift
minor finch
#

It’s more of increase power consumption = increase frequency = increase performance.

#

Only good news is the CPU MSRP aren’t going to be increasing, but that is because the motherboard price gonna be skyrocketing

#

No more cheap amd motherboard

hard drift
#

that is a straight up lie

#

post a source for that

#

it's too early to know pricing, they'd shoot themselves in the foot releasing pricing now because intel could counter them that much easier

#

not to mention, motherboards aren't 100% going to be more expensive, if you're going for a high end chipset sure but for 99% of consumers it won't be needed. nobody really needs pcie gen 5 for ssd/gpu

minor finch
#

Both side will have a expensive early bird price anyway.

hard drift
#

no shit, it's the early adopter tax

minor finch
#

Really hoped that they will accept ddr4. I don’t trust ddr5 will be mature enough by the end of the year

hard drift
#

it's already near that point 😐

minor finch
#

The motherboards are probably already been made in factory and get ready to ship PEPEwtf

I saw in the news AMD is bankrupt and FINISHED FOR GOOD

#

Map update in the car is complete. Although it seems to be an overall system update bc the menus have more bling on them now

#

For mine it had an SDcard in it, so I grabbed that and loaded the update from their update application you install on your computer

#

Then it auto-detected the update the next time I turned the car on and took about 20mins to patch and reboot

sly elk
#

I wanted this 😦 It was on sale for $35.

#

and I hesitated because $35 is still a fair bit of $$ for a charging puck

i'm sure it pales in comparison to a serious business DAC but hey

I'm also going to say that including a wireless charger in a DAC is very dubious hahaha

THERE IS A 3090 TI AT MY BEST BUY. IN STOCK.

#

I probably would've....but I already have a 3080 and I mostly use it for FFXIV, Insurgency, Infinite and Strive so it'd be a waste.

But it is so sexy looking.....

Also for the flex of owning a GPU that comes with actual support cable to hold it up. Because it is so chonky.

sly elk

most of the prime day deals don't really seem all that great

I found the Best Buy deals for tech today better.

Whether that’s good or not I dunno. I bought what seemed expensive back in 2016 when I built this pc for doom 2016

I just was hoping to see this kind of deal at Best Buy where I can walk in, open it in front of the clerk, and if it’s a brick as for a refund

Can’t do that with amazon

Quick Question; is there a way to make it so my ROG X570 Mobo turns off the RGB when the computer is shut down, either through iCUE or Armory Crate? Or do I just have to turn it completely off through Armory Crate and live without it?

her previous phone died so she bought the cheapest thing available pretty much

Ive and Apple were set to renew the contract, but they decided not to extend it. Apple executives reportedly questioned how much Apple was paying Ive, and were also said to be frustrated that Apple designers were leaving for LoveFrom. Ive, meanwhile, wanted the freedom to choose his own clients without clearing his work with Apple.

i mean that's annoying but most people have extra namazuconcern

modest moss
#

it won't match or have a washer

hard drift
#

just be like other lazy people evilelmo take the thumbscrews out and let the panel loosely close

modest moss
#

hmm psu which way up

real edge
#

idk my g7 is fine and its VA

hard drift
#

if you're going from va/tn-> va sure

real edge
#

I had a TN panel for 10 years or so and wanted something with similarly fast response times and good colors and blacks

#

I tried IPS before but it was slow

#

so I tried the g7 and it was fast enough to not have motion blur

hard drift
#

ips has come a long way, at 144hz there's not much difference between them. if you're going higher than that though....

real edge
#

I tried the LG GL850

#

and the asus PG279Q

#

colors were good but they were really slow

#

I could see motion blur

#

it was not fun

#

even at max overdrive

#

I have a Dell P2314H from my old PC. Now, i'd like to get a new monitor so I can get a double monitor setup. Got a couple of Qs

  1. Should i stick with Dell for the next monitor? For like, color matching (as in like, same degree of color calibration)
  2. If I get a 1440p monitor, should I expect some jarring in window sizes when i move between the two?
#

1440p is standard nowadays right

real edge
#

ideally with a double monitor setup you want both of them to be the same monitor or similar in terms of size and resolution

royal forge
#

(because my local store was promoting a like, 30+ inch 1080p monitor and god it was uggo)

real edge
#

30+ inch 1080p you nope out of there fast xd

royal forge
#

they were running microsoft flight sim on it and god damn i could see the pixels

#

ye

#

colors were kinda eh too

real edge
#

yes

royal forge
#

Wallet tank buster

#

well, tbh, this new build will be a fucking tank buster

real edge
#

ideally you want both to be the same size and resolution for consistency

royal forge
#

any recommendations on where to start reading up this kinda stuff?

#

i REALLY gotta tidy my room

real edge
#

put the coding monitor up to down instead of horizontal and place it on the side

#

then the two main gaming ones in front of you

#

horizontally

royal forge
#

like, what characteristics should I look out for

odd sand
#

I've heard ppl say VA is a good mix of the two, but I assume that means you felt it was the worst of the two heh

royal forge
#

like, what monitor type, etc etc

real edge
#

that sounds good

#

but the ultrawide has to be big in order for you to not get distracted by the coding side panels

royal forge
#

ya know, the usual bollocks

real edge
#

might sound odd but maybe curved would be good in this case

#

so that the monitor wraps around you

modest moss
#

rtings is often useful for general reading

real edge
#

and you can put the coding ones vertically at the end

real edge
#

what will you use it for?

#

that kinda seems...pointless

#

I can understand the need for a big ultrawide for gaming and coding panel or two on the sides but what are you gonna use the one above for

#

it will be big for sure

#

extra points if its curved

#

then it will wrap around you

#

so you do not have two text distractions on the edge of your eye

real edge
#

personally distractions annoy me if they're different than what I am seeing in front of me(in the case of gaming or watching a good video for example) but it might be different for you

royal forge
real edge
#

does 3d rendering and texturing need accurate color representation

#

like photo editing kind of accuracy

royal forge
#

uhhh

#

i don't think it's THAT important

#

but it DOES have an impact

#

but i'd rather have a better response time over color accuracy

#

i think? i'm not sure if I'd actually notice latency that much

real edge
#

so you want two 1440p displays or one?

royal forge
#

do you think having one 1440 and one 1080 will be a bad look?

real edge
#

if its a different size then for sure

royal forge
#

same size and diffe resolution?

real edge
#

what size is the 1080p screen

#

if its 27 inch

#

and you get a 1440p 27 inch screen

#

then the 1440p one will look far crisper

royal forge
real edge
#

yes but its still good

#

34 inch 1440p ultrawide is still good

#

PPI wise

real edge
#

the de facto standard

royal forge
#

gotcha

real edge
#

so, you want good color accuracy with great response times

#

do you care about deep blacks?

#

or accurate blacks?

royal forge
#

hmm... i'll be the first to admit, I'm not too fussy on like accurate blacks

real edge

Y’know, the more I look at this 1,000w psu the more I begin to think: I should get dual 3080ti’s

dull garnet
#

ah yes, a second redundant 3080 ti

#

what better way to spend money

paper tusk
#

if it's bone stock (no overclocking) can probably do it but anything more uses too much power (going by 414w for an evga 3080 ti under load)

dull garnet
#

we should ask shue to share cable management

paper tusk
#

also I'm pretty sure only 3090 supports sli

dull garnet
#

my point

modest moss
#

it won't be great, because idgaf

#

bet it doesn't boot anyway

hollow hamlet
#

I should have disconnected my icue water cooler from the cpu before I left to pick everything up.

#

It would’ve been dry for more than an hour and would be ready to thermal paste it back

dull garnet
#

easily the worst part of building a pc

modest moss
#

all that shit is dreadful, this looks like it had just a big single thing for front panel

#

idk

#

we'll see in a bit

dull garnet
#

remember when motherboards had a little adapter thing that you plugged into and then plugged the adapter into the board

#

never had the luxury of using one of those

#

something like

bitter girder
#

my motherboard came with one

#

i spent like 10 minutes with it

#

cant wait to build another pc next year

modest moss
#

yeah this has both, I think it's one or the other

#

the case has a big front panel adapter and an extra bit for non-intel or some shit

#

actually no idea if it'll work

#

I stopped for dinner but now I really should put the gpu in

dull garnet
#

wow you guys with your fancy motherboards

#

i bet both of the above are £2 on ebay

#

lol

modest moss
#

the case instructions made it sound like I just put one thing on there

#

idk

dull garnet
#

only one you need

devout nexus
#

i know right i just did a build a couple of weeks ago. i miss those motherboard connectors

modest moss
#

only idiots build pcs

#

and because I'm halfway through a build, i'm the biggest idiot

#

technology is terrible and we should all go back to reading books and sending letters

devout nexus
#

Shue im currently learning AX365 powerapps stuff... and i agree XD

#

all this complex BS

#

also they keep changing the names of things and fields... why? o no reason. just keeping us on our toes...

#

if microsoft had a face i would punch it

modest moss
#

why go find bill gates

#

we have a microsoft employee right here we can punch

#

this fucking cooler is stopping the gpu going in the pcie slot

#

I don't even

dull garnet
#

lol

#

buy a d15 they said

potent arrow
#

has shue finally finished his pc?

modest moss

no

potent arrow
#

: P

#

if you need help ill be home in a bit

modest moss
#

the gpu won't fit in that main slot

potent arrow
#

wait why did you get a d15

#

thats kinda overkill

modest moss
#

I mean, is it for 12700k?

potent arrow
#

I would say so personally

#

but eh

#

did you try rotating the cooler?

#

might be super unoptimal

dull garnet
#

well well well

#

you realise you can just use the slot below it

#

not ideal but its fine

#

perspective may be deceiving in that pic

modest moss
#

yeah it might

amirite guys

#

So I've a question;

How well do you think a 3080 + 5800x would handle 4k gaming at 140+ FPS?

modest moss
#

I need to fill both of those with 2 different cables right?

#

split one of the 8 pin?

paper tusk
#

optimally yes (atx 4 pin + eps 8 pin)

#

push comes to shove should be ok with just the 8 pin

deep sapphire
#

push and shove

paper tusk
dull garnet
#

Back in my day we used 4 pins and that was enough!

dull garnet
#

4K is a lot and a 3080 is decent but you'll never get that level of performance in triple a

deep sapphire
dull garnet
#

Our 24 pin connector only had 20 pins!

lime wasp
dull garnet
#

I was thinking of something like that just because of the desktop real estate

#

There's a 32" 4K Gigabyte that's supposed to be decent

lime wasp
#

I almost thought of going crazy and getting that 50" Curved Samsung Odyssey Monitor but....

modest moss
#

all 4 of those are the same, aren't they?

lime wasp
#

Yes

dull garnet
#

Pay attention to the cable labels

latent grotto
#

Clearance? What clearance? haha

jaunty light
latent grotto
#

nyaissa yea

#

Anytime i wanna take my cpu cooler out i need to take my gpu out first

dull garnet
#

How to make a $100 cooler look like a $30 one

#

Actually hilarious

latent grotto
#

Yea thats it

dull garnet
#

What does it add

#

Lights?

latent grotto
#

No

#

It just hides the fins

dull garnet
#

I like seeing fins :(

lime wasp
#

After seeing the performance increase by switching to an AIO I couldn't go back to air cooled.

But I'd definitely recommended air-cooled to someone else in order to save them money, unless their budget was big enough for it.

jaunty light
#

Mm clearance

lime wasp
latent grotto
#

Wait do you have g skill ram too?

modest moss
#

it's literally impossible to get these atx plugs on

deep sapphire
#

you arent seating it correctly then

modest moss
#

lol no I can't get my hand to it

#

the case is tiny

#

it's awful

deep sapphire
#

thats why I own a full tower

#

THIS IS AMERICA, WE HAVE ALL THE SPACE WE NEED

#

GO BIG

#

thats a weird emote

lime wasp
#

A decent sized mid-tower should be perfectly workable though.

My Corsair 4000x and 5000T were more than easy to work in.

jaunty light
#

I managed to get my CPU plugs in the meshify c with the board in. But had to take the fans out. And cut myself a few times

latent grotto
#

What i do is attach the cables before mounting the psu in the case

modest moss
#

nope going to have to take the fucking cooler off

#

this is dumb af

#

my hand won't go in there, nor my wife's

#

the cable is barely long enough

sly elk
#

but I do favor large

#

either full size or sff

dull garnet
#

sly elk
#

if you're going to do something, don't half ass it. you gotta full-ass it.

dull garnet
#

the d15 seems so unwieldy size wise

#

lol

sly elk
#

midsize towers are half assing it

#

(the O11D is an oddball case for that, I think it's considered midsize ATX but it has the room of a large case)

dull garnet
#

my cooler relatively puny

sly elk
#

yea Ice, I would definitely consider your computer a full-ass effort

latent grotto
sly elk
#

up until this year, I'd argue mine would have mostly fit in a mid-atx just fine, too

#

i was going to say something along those lines haha

#

I will say there is one downside to full atx though

#

you can't just toss a full size case on a desk

jaunty light
#

I mean you can

sly elk
#

unless you have an utterly enormous desk, it'll look ridiculous

jaunty light
#

900d on a mini desk

sly elk
#

guess that's why they're so unpopular now

#

back in the 2000s you';d just get a full size antec or cm haf and toss it on the floor

#

these nice glass cases look beautiful but I wouldn't wanna stick it on the floor

#

kinky

#

looks like none of those are well suited to have both a top and bottom rad haha

#

i dunno how you fit all that in your o11d

dull garnet
#

its no Copper PC-A60C

jaunty light
#

Bring back ridiculous cases

#

Why no solid copper lian li anymore

dull garnet
#

also the copper TRUE

#

i think copper is at least twice as expensive as it was around then mind

#

currently looks like 3x lol

sly elk
#

why would they paint the inside black though

#

or maybe the black parts are aluminum

dull garnet
#

paint?

#

ain't paint

#

black alu

#

the flex

sly elk
#

I miss those oldschool lian li cases

dull garnet
#

my friend picked one up nos a few years back

#

put his 3900X build in it

sly elk
#

just regular silver aluminum was more than fine

#

but the fact the entire thing was aluminum was sweet

dull garnet
#

i think some of the early 00s coolermasters were also alu

sly elk
#

yep

dull garnet
#

friend of mine was using the same case for like 18 years

sly elk

the ATCS line, but they had even less ventilation

So I put it all together. And it doesn’t turn on.

#

Geek squad told me everything is working fine. Except the CPU. It may be fucked.

I don’t know how. Wtf

#

Damnit I don’t wanna buy a new cpu I liked my 10850k. Sure I over stressed it like crazy but shit

modest moss

but it was working with the old gpu, no?

hollow hamlet
#

Yes. This morning.

#

Oh well, I needed a new one anyway lol

modest moss
#

unlikely putting in a new gpu would kill your cpu

hollow hamlet
#

I don’t have the new gpu. Lol

modest moss
#

wait what did you do then

hollow hamlet
#

All I did was put everything in the new chassis with a new psu

modest moss
#

and it wouldn't boot

#

have you tried putting it all back as it was?

#

@hard drift why is my ram running at half speed

hollow hamlet
#

The Best Buy clerk said he has never seen a motherboard so clean before. He said it looked like I had cleaned the scene of a crime

#

Wtf

#

It would power on but the monitor said no input signal.

#

So I verified and tripled verified the connections, reset the 1080 and still nada. Tried different outlets to ensure that 1000w psu wasn’t struggling

#

So the tech said it is likely a cpu issue

#

My 10850 ;-;

modest moss

don't see how you fry a cpu like that

I will google further before I cast aside my cute 10850
