90 degrees C on a cpu sound like too much thermal paste,or dried out,or cpu cooler does not fit right on the cpu
violet plank
it isn't that bad is it ?
violet plank

well it’s gonna be wraith stealth

sour ivy
Maybe he applied it wrong?
supple bane
my cpu runs at 40 degrees at full load 
sour ivy
Nice
violet plank
most easy thing to try,re apply thermal paste
supple bane
I don’t think it will be a thermal paste issue
violet plank
and learn how to do it right
supple bane
Because it comes pre applied and be stuff isn’t all too bad that comes on it
violet plank
the pre applied stuff tends to dry out fast
supple bane
It’s only a few months old tho
violet plank
true
supple bane
I had mine for 6 months and it was fine
fast sedge
(in the past I also got a few more blue screens)
violet plank
well,we need to know the case and the fans
fast sedge
some of them got fixed bc of too hight ram mhz (just turned it down in bios ;/// :(((
violet plank
2 front 1 back would be nice
supple bane
I’m thinking there is an issue with case airflow
fast sedge
and just today my screen just turned black (monitor disabled) and after it went on back again, bf5 was closed, not sure if it was because of overheating
violet plank
bfv does not like OC in general
supple bane
Because he gpu temps are high too
sour ivy
Yes

sour ivy
Yup
supple bane
so yes, air flow matters
sour ivy

supple bane
kinda my dream is to have my pc on a wooden block on my wall
sour ivy
I’ll send proof
violet plank
as long as he doesen't tell
supple bane
Like no case, just mount the motherboard to the block, and then screw the block into the wall
I would do it but I can’t figure out things like drives and he psu, and Yanno, how to stop my gpu ripping my motherboard in half as there is no where to mount it
fast sedge
something like that I just soo cool 😄
(I should have spent more money on coolers, than on rgb that is the whole time deactivated)

rgb generally looks super generic

I just wanted it.. but now it is just.. not like I thought it would be :-|
I would even like to have normal white/black ram instead of rgb one

oh wait that's not the gpu
but lego is holding up your gpu for some reason

why is your cpu power coming all the way from the bottom 
you do realise there is a handy dandy hole above the cpu to route the cpu power right into the socket

Anyone knows how to connect headphones and a separate mic to ps4? I only find solutions with trillions of adapters
novel oar
Got some dt770s a few years ago and would love to use them on the ps4. Wanted to put some "clip mic?" with it too, because the headphones have no mic
And headsets generally tend to have way worse quality than the headphones
supple bane
unless it’s a usb one I don’t even know if it’s possible, and if it is I don’t know how
novel oar
Yeah, same here
If I put my headphones into a dac/amp and connect it via usb into some usb switch and put an usb mic into the switch too, will I be able to use the microphone then?
lofty light
Na sorry mate, neither of us know much about consoles as it appears. You tried googling the issue? It sounds like the sort of thing a LOT of people would have played with in the past
supple bane
ye he did google it
lofty light
Oh
novel oar
Yeah, did google it, but mostly get recommended some sort of external soundcard for about 150 bucks.
Already got some dac to power the ehadphones and get them to usb. My mainproblem is: will headphones with usb and a mic with usb on a usb switch into the ps4 work or bot 🤔

Skeptical of that explanation, not just because of the initial lack of context, but also because of the fact that you posted the same in multiple channels to include one that clearly has nothing to do with such content (#technology).

yes

Great thanks
sour ivy
Yeah
jagged citrus
https://imgur.com/a/ng0f2uv okay, so, what the hell can I do with this things, I cant find out where I have to connect them so I can get the rgb on the back fan from the msi vampiric 010 case working
do you guys have any idea?
storm osprey
i would guess that or fan control
bah
i have neither of those things and ive never seen that connection
jagged citrus
cant connect it in the jrgb 1/2 because i have one pin blocked
and the other one (with the pins) doesnt fit anywhere lol
prime jasper
huh, so it came with the case?
jagged citrus
yes
prime jasper
do you have an MSI mobo?
molten bramble
😮
supple bane
one has to go to the fan header and one has to go to the rgb header
as long as the fan header one is in, the fan will work as usual just without lights
sour ivy
My temps aren’t that bad considering
sour ivy
2600x
supple bane
hmm
supple bane
have you tried a synthetic load tho?
molten bramble
supple bane
because my 2600 on the stock cooler on a sythetic load got to 82 and was rapidly climbing
it got to that and i decided i should stop
sour ivy
The fuck is that
supple bane
erm
sour ivy
Why would I want to do that
Gaming is all that matters
And if my temps never go above 70 it’s fine
supple bane
yes but that wont get your cpu up to the max temp
as no game will fully pin a 2600x
a sythetic load is basically just a load that puts the cpu at 100% i think
sour ivy
Why would I want it to go to the max temp lol
sour ivy
But if it’s under 70 while under load then it’s adequate for what I use it for
supple bane
and to see if an overclock is stab;e
jagged citrus
but damn I need light xd
sour ivy
I’m not overclocking it
supple bane
why dont you just splash out all of 20 bucks and get some fans ?
supple bane
oh
supple bane
@jagged citrus btw are you still building that damb computer? lol
sour ivy
May even be able to overclock gpu a lil
sour ivy
huh
supple bane
its at 75 degrees you said right ?
you have like 15 degrees head room
which is plenty for an oc
sour ivy
It’s actually a lot lower now that I added new thermal paste
In Bfv I’ve yet to see it go over 70
supple bane
just oc it dude, you cant damage it, if it gets too toasty it thermal throttles anyway
like dramatically, so its perfectly safe
sour ivy
Yeah
I’d like it to get on expected performance level
As the gpu benchmark told me it was under performing
supple bane
when i use userbenchmark for that, it just crashes on the gpu benchmark
so idk if my gpu is under performing or not
storm osprey
he doesnt show the test but mentions that performance is the same with the pairing
supple bane
why is the weight a negative ?
like yes ik it proves it doesnt have the vapor chamber anymore
but like, yes, a solid aluminium block will be heavier,
latent light
@storm osprey it's got a faster fan to compensate for the lack of the copper vapor chamber which means it's also louder
storm osprey
im not arguing that the cpu cooler isnt a downgrade, but when the downgrade is on a better cpu it equals out per the video
also "its pretty unreasonable to give amd a hard time about this change, given the cooler still works quite well and miles better than the competition"
drifting glen
BFV causing my PC to run real hot, around 90 steady. Ryzen 2700x and. RTX 2070 16GB ram saved on SSD if that makes a difference. Should I be concerned and is there anything I can do to lower temps?
3 fans that are running at stock setting
supple bane
this could be many things
case having bad airflow
the thermal paste needing to be replaced
drifting glen
I think that airflow is definitely not good enough
I was wondering if there is a setting that can be changed in one of the softwares I have that could be a quick fix
drifting glen
But will this cause its own heat as well?
drifting glen
Like is the mechanic energy causing the fan to spin faster going to give me less returns as it increases?
Without proper airflow that is
supple bane
no lol
the bearings are so good in those that it takes very little energy to spin the fans
drifting glen
Lol I just built this pc haven’t been gaming in one in a long time so it seemed like a good question
drifting glen
What’s strange is that it sounds like they are increasing on their own when I play the game
It doesn’t sound the same as it does with any other game
Also what about bfv causes this extra heat?
supple bane
because games are intensive
especially bfv
and yes, as the heat increases, the fan speed will increase
latent light
is your 2700X or RTX 2070 running hot?
drifting glen
I can’t tell
supple bane
what?
latent light
what software do you use to read temperature
drifting glen
It’s the fan on the back with the vent where I feel it radiating from
supple bane
so you havent actually checked with software ?
latent light
Ryzen master shows higher temps than other software
drifting glen
I also have core temp
Shows it lower but more consistent and around 90 as high as 94
supple bane
if your cpu is running at 90 you have bigger issues
latent light
download HWinfo64 and leave it open in the background when playing, then check the max temperature reading
drifting glen
My friend installed it
I am assuming he did I’ll find out but didn’t know this was even a thing so
How can I check
supple bane
you need to take the cooler off
and see if there is a grey goo inbetween the bottom of the cooler and the top of the cpu
drifting glen
Could that be the difference between normal temps and 90 for demanding stuff?
drifting glen
How important is this thermal paste
supple bane
very
because it is what transfers the heat between the cpu and the cooler
so without it, the cpu and the cooler cant exchange heat properly
drifting glen
Got it
Ok I will check into all of this I appreciate your help I’ll prob be chiming back in when I have more questions
latent light
maybe your friend took off the cooler once during the process and fucked up the thermal paste
supple bane
neh
that doesnt make that much differnece
i took my cooler off twice and the temps didnt change 1 degree
and didnt replace the paste like
im not sure on hotter chips
but in my case it hasnt made a difference
lofty light
I mean if he took the paste off completely then sure
I've put together a PC with no paste back in the day
steep gust
yeah thermal paste is not some super delicate stuff
people think its some like magical stuff that gets ruined if you look at it wrong
coarse nimbus
Do you have a source on that, or is it just conjecture? 
lofty light
I mean it could if you are going to put it on LN2 or its for a GPU, but with CPUs there's no big issue there
steep gust
do you have anything to add or is this just a jab at me?
even for LN2 you can easily saved paste after it cracked
Its just more important to spread correctly
And its hwbot legal
lofty light
I assume that's a dual Rome mobo setup?

yes from what I understand the windows scheduler shits itself with 256 threads

limpid crypt
Hey everyone. I have a question, i recently picked up a copy of BFV on PC and im experiencing severe framerate drops and terrible performance. My rig meets the minimal requirements. Im rocking a Nvidia GForce GTX 1050, a 3.00 GHz Intel I5 7th Gen, with 8 Gigs of ram. I havent had any issues running any other Battlefield besides this one. Any help would be appreciated!
sour ivy
yeah
so @limpid crypt
long story short
youre gonna have a lot of perf issues in this game
a 4 core processor will struggle in this game
and a 1050
is under the recommended specs
so yeah youre gonna have a really hard time getting steady performance 😦
even i dont get great perf
latent light
I assume that's a prebuilt too
no PC builder in the right state of mind would pair a $200 CPU with a $120 graphics card
@limpid crypt a 1050 will run the game at 60 fps on low settings but that i5-7400 and single channel 8GB ram is what's causing the choppy performance
limpid crypt
@latent light Gotcha, it is a prebuilt. MSI Trident 3. Even running on low i have issues. BF1 can run on Ultra with no issues though.
latent light
BF5 needs a CPU with 6 cores or more for a stable experience
also single channel ram loses a lot of performance compared to dual channel
limpid crypt
So its upgrade time. Thanks man. I truly appreciate the help.
latent light
you want to keep a small form factor?
limpid crypt
Forgive me but what is that?
limpid crypt
Honestly, no, but I am on a very tight budget.
limpid crypt
Its a 3.00 GHz.
limpid crypt
Roughly around 900
latent light
holy shit
I could of built a PC just like that for under $500 in 2017
with $900 now you could do a Ryzen 5 2600 + RTX 2060 build
anyway back to your build, BF5 will have low performance with a i5-7400 and 8GB ram
this is a pretty good prebuilt PC for under $700
although that's not a tight budget
limpid crypt
My trident was on stretch pay. Im saving to build my own pc now.

@latent light that MSI one is that mini stx build right?

does the middle ?
You mean under the desk?
it just fell down, usually it’s tucked up at the top but it fell off and I cba to fix it at the time
supple bane
long story
basically that mobo is my back up and it’s a mini itx inside a full tower
So the closest hole is at the bottom
Which would be fine with an atx mobo
But for me atm I have to run the cables down to it

fast sedge
was AFK so:
I have an laptop where I already formatted the HDD (the only drive it has) and intalled windows 10 new, just to be able to use the PC.
Now I created an USB with a tool called DBAN which allows me to wipe the HDD.
To use that you have to boot the PC from the .iso that is on the USB.
But the laptop tells me there was no bootable OS found on the USB. Not sure if there its secured by acer, but I don`t think so.
violet plank
make a bootable linux usb stick to format your disks
well don't format,wipe them,format does not delete anything secure
fast sedge
well as I said, I want to wipe my drive, not format
but why linux? And how should I wipe the drive then?
violet plank
linux stick,all you need
complete os on the stick without the need to install it
just google it,there are tons of guides,pretty easy to do
fast sedge
I dont think I want to do that.
prime jasper
you need to make sure the computer is trying to boot from the USB, not the drives
you'll probably have to go into BIOS

@sour ivy Well, I tried Battlefield V, and the fps went up yes, but I think it would have been better if the laptop I have had been with its maintenance. In R6, it rose 70 fps more, then it varied, so I think it's the thermal paste. I think another well maintained PC / notebook would work better.

Its just the die naming NVidia has used for generations

ik i want to do something to do with hardware
i just dont know what the job would be

if I want to go LN2 on GPUs for example
Buying a like 780 classified makes more sense than a 2080ti KPE in terms of value and enjoyment overall

it is most likely going to be server. because any other job around here to do with hardware will be a dead end job in a shop somwhere

well the amount of shit it takes for a quantum computer to run, its just not practical

steep gust
You mean a large amount of LHe and some other extreme stuff isn't practical
yeah there is other stuff we can make CPUs out of
silicon is nearing its limit but its not the end
supple bane
i mainly meant cooling
atm we cant even imagine a cooling system that is both practical and is able to yanno, work
i guess if it is being used in a bussiness place with lots of room, then the size of the cooling isnt an issue. but you get my point
violet plank
superconductor in room temperature and go
supple bane
you could put one of a satellite i guess and use sublimation cooling
which would be small
sorta
but even more impractical
steep gust
cooling capacity vs actual head I guess is two different things
You need to get stuff close to subzero which takes a ton of cooling
and in space you don't really have an ambient
supple bane
ye thats the point of sublimination
steep gust
they used water for that
supple bane
eh?
i thought the water got heater to steam, got pulled through pores in metal by the vaccum of space and then instantly turned to ice
steep gust
yes but that is still relying on water to remove heat
You need helium to create superconductors currently
and I doubt we will see anything soon that allows room temp superconductors
supple bane
wait, i thought a super conductor was something to do with electricity?
like electrons helping each other out or something like that
so what does that have to do with heat dissipation
sour ivy
Got a Samsung 1tb ssd
steep gust
You currently need to get down to nearly 0K to get superconductors
which takes an insane amount of cooling capacity (and LHe is used on earth)

Infinity mirror?
Looks like that notorious Inwin infinity case
With around 0% airflow
lofty light
Oh yeah, it's a derbaur case

What if you had like a watercooling tank thing in a fridge, would that just keep the water cold when it goes through the loop?
cursive marten
Nice.
I like it.
You know what would be cool tho. A desk with that infinity mirror effect on it
lofty light
Would would also be screaming "MY EYES" as you run out of the room blinded
And @cursive marten yes, that's basically what chillers do
wicked forum
forest token
not only that, it supposedly improves performance for a handful of games including bfv
rigid knoll
At least for Turing cards
supple bane
@cursive marten its not that simple, when you cool the water below ambient you get condensation. and condensation and electrical components dont go well together
supple bane
thats one of the main issues with LN2, its basically whats known as a suicide oc. because a lot of the times. the condensation will kill at least something
supple bane
nice

Is Gainward RTX 2080 Triple fan 8gb a good GPU?
prime jasper
Gainward? never heard of that
rigid knoll
They're still around? I had GF2 card from them.
mild bough
They sell quite good in Norway I heard
sour ivy
Who is gainward
sour ivy
That’s like buying something off aliexpress
mild bough
Yeah i was, but then i somehow said something wrong. And he just read me
sour ivy
Apparently micro center has a lot of issues with people stealing ssds
Cuz they wouldn’t let me bring it to check out
supple bane
why whats the issue ?
sour ivy
I guess a lot of people steal ssds
mild bough
Whats ssds?
supple bane
he means whats an ssd i think lol
supple bane
that doesnt have any moving parts
mild bough
Oh like a chip with some storage on it?
prime jasper
lmao no
mild bough
oh
prime jasper
they can cost hundreds
mild bough
whatttt
sour ivy
They’re very expensive
mild bough
wait, how many gb?
prime jasper
they go up to 2TB, sometimes 4
sour ivy
Anywhere from 120 to 4 tb
120gb
And they’re small so I guess people like to steal em
I’d like to steal a 4tb
mild bough
yeah i get it now ahah
supple bane
dont think its as simple
prime jasper
youre gonna need some big ass pockets
supple bane
if i could steal anything it would be a titan rtx and a 3900x.
sour ivy
I don’t think they even have the boxes for the expensive graphics cards out
mild bough
swallow them 😀
mild bough
oh
supple bane
good luck shitting a triple fan 2080ti back out
mild bough
well steal a shit ton of them and sell them cheap
sour ivy
Cuz if somebody was to rib them
Rob them
Then they wouldn’t get the super expensive shot
I’ll steal a 2060 super tho
mild bough
yeah smart
sour ivy
They did have i9s out tho
mild bough
loool
sour ivy
But behind what I can only assume is bulletproof glass
supple bane
again, why would you steal that and not a 3900x?
prime jasper
doesnt matter, its worth hundreds and thats what matters
supple bane
well im talking like, stealing to build a beast system
not to steal and sell
because from the money i made off of selling them, i would go buy new pc parts
so whats the point in the extra step
supple bane
violet plank
begun his criminal career has
supple bane
i should stop before i get banned hehhehe
sour ivy
Exactly
I steal the i9 and sell it
To buy a 2080ti
Then I sell my cpu and 1080 and buy me a nice Ryzen 3700x
mild bough
Or steal like a 1000 rtx 2080 ti and hire scientists to make a rtx 9090 and I100-9900
maiden copper
where are we stealing these parts from?
prime jasper
your moms house lol
mild bough
some micro center, dont remember what its called
imagine battlefield’s graphics in 10 years
supple bane
they cant really get much better than what they already are
supple bane
because you can only go up to the point where it looks identical to real life
and that isnt too far off
mild bough
thats good right?
supple bane
on ultra with rtx on in some places i would think it was real life if i was given two images
its the hardware that needs to get better, so we can play with ray tracing at 4k
mild bough
yeah
maiden copper
My PC can barely hold 60 frames
mild bough
what about screen resolution? will we have like 10k in the future?
same here, and i have graphics on low
supple bane
not 10k no. but 16k maybe
maiden copper
same
I used to stutter
I still do a tiny bit
but DX12 fixed most of the stutter
supple bane
we already have technology that is like a treadmill and you have a vr headset on, so when you walk, the character walks.
mild bough
oo
supple bane
its like a 360 degree treadmill
mild bough
thats awesome
supple bane
it doesnt work too well yet, but it is out there and it does work
maiden copper
They should add a feature when if you die, your mouse shoots out needles which inject you with poison to kill you IRL
so epic
mild bough
ahahahjaha
supple bane
i always wanted a chair that when you get killed gave you a tiny electric shock
not enough to do damage
but enough to sting a little
or even took damage for that matter
prime jasper
@supple bane how about I stand behind you with a cattle prod? should be just as effective
mild bough
thats how they did it in the good ol` days

r5 2600 and 1060
fallen harbor
hello
mild bough
is r5 like a i6/i7?
supple bane
depends
mild bough
hi ando
prime jasper
?
fallen harbor
i know this has been asked a lot but i dont remember all the details. Is it worth getting a 2060 over a 1660ti? Most opinions ive read in the past say no. I am guessing the difference in performance is little compared to their price differences? Is there any way to simplify how much in % the 2060 is better than the 1660ti?
fallen harbor
huh how so
supple bane
the 1660ti is cheaper and is basically the same performance
mild bough
Well my tips are, whenever you buy new specs. Go for the most expensive, so you dont have to buy a new GPU any time soon.
mild bough
But the RTX 2060 has the RTX feature tho
supple bane
it isnt powerful enough to run ray tracing tho
fast sedge
but you won`t be really able to use it with good FPS
supple bane
and some games allow the gtx series to use rtx
fallen harbor
i still have no idea what rtx really is
sour ivy
Who cares about ray tracing
supple bane
^
fallen harbor
ok ty
supple bane
its like paying more for basically the same performance
fallen harbor
is there anything better than the 1660ti from nvidia that doesnt belong to the 2000 series?
mild bough
What is the price difference between 1660 ti and 2060 anyways?
supple bane
you could get a second hand 1080 i guess
supple bane
and is better obvs
fallen harbor
how much in % is the 1080 better than the 1660ti?
mild bough
how do you install 2 gpus?
supple bane
idk exactly, my guess is like 20%
fallen harbor
icic
sour ivy
It’s like throwing money down the drain
mild bough
I`ve seen a guy with 2x2080 TI to play GTAV
fallen harbor
afaik installing two gpus doesnt necessarily mean that the full potential of both gpus will be used and only some games support sli
mild bough
So what is the point of having 2 GPU`s then?
fallen harbor
none unless youre so rich you can buy gpus like biscuits
supple bane
back then it basically was double the performance
mild bough
minecraft with 2x2080 ti, worth it
supple bane
does minecraft even support sli?
mild bough
I think NVIDIA posted a video about it on YouTube recently
sour ivy
Maybeee
mild bough
supple bane
ik you dont live in the uk, just to give you some inspiration
sour ivy
I feel so bad for them
mild bough
Why?
mild bough
oh
mild bough
Cant you drive to North-America and buy the specs there
ah man
you could open a shop in south america
where the prices arent sky high
sour ivy
That’s a lot of time
supple bane
huge journey
mild bough
oh
i am not good in geography, but it doesnt looks that far
but i dont know :p
But driving to my family`s cabin takes like 4 hours and it is 230km
so i guess its kinda big
sour ivy
It’s days of driving
supple bane
if he lived in chille for example it would be around 10k km
fallen harbor
@supple bane cant buy abroad but thanks bro
supple bane
like i said. it was just to show whats out there
fallen harbor
oh okay
sour ivy
How much is a 1660ti in Argentina
fallen harbor
^
mild bough
Is it anyone else feeling that GTAV`s graphics have gotten really poor and old nowadays?
fallen harbor
like 23k pesos let me translate it to usd
supple bane
jesus
mild bough
It is like the water that looks good, everything else you could almost count the pixels
supple bane
dat infaltion do
fallen harbor

prime jasper
holy hell
fallen harbor
tech parts always costed like double here
and actually x10 if you consider our average income
supple bane
wait, so is it normal to be a millionaire over there?
sour ivy
No
mild bough
So a 2080TI would cost like 2000$?
fallen harbor
...no, it means having a gaming pc is a burgoise thing only
sour ivy
It’s normal to make a lot less money
supple bane
ah right
fallen harbor
the average income is like 500usd a month
or less
i make 310 a month and im above the min wage lmao
