[proud trellis]

wtf

[latent light]

Supports up to 8-channel 2TB RAM

[proud trellis]

how much is it ? 😛

[latent light]

At least $4000 for the CPU alone

[proud trellis]

the fuck

[supple bane]

for 64 cores ?

thats a really good price tbh

[proud trellis]

i guess your right but still

do you think they will ever make 24 core cpu's ?

[coarse nimbus]

cant wait to see all the youtubers that get them to do "funny" videos 😒

[supple bane]

they already do ice

[proud trellis]

nvm then

oh btw granty , i think i found my issue

using 2 moniters

[weak girder]

wtf will people need this for

8c 16t can already do anything

[storm osprey]

can do anything is not the same as can do it efficiently

[weak girder]

pretty sure 8c 16t can do evrything efficiently as well smh

[digital hill]

What is that z490

[proud trellis]

im hoping to save enough money this year to get a R9 in a new pc

[digital hill]

Also I heard a mobo for like jaguar cpus sony and xbox used was released and linus testing it just showed how weak it was

[glacial pivot]

Upgraded from a i5 4690k to a Ryzen 7 3700x and must say its amazing the difference.

nice to see amd is back in the game

[weak girder]

humm
its been a long time that they're back in the game

[latent light]

2005 was the last year for AMD competing with Intel until 12 years later when Ryzen arrived

First 2 Ryzen generations weren't very competitive in top performance but were way more value oriented

Would rather have a Ryzen 7 1700 than a i7-7700K right now especially for frametimes

Ryzen 5 1600 was way better option than i5-7600K imo

[digital hill]

The 1600af was better then the r5 2600

[storm osprey]

wasnt it just barely worse but much cheaper?

[digital hill]

I think it was but for the value it was decent

[storm osprey]

bang for buck kind 100%

[digital hill]

Yeah

[storm osprey]

right now i would go 7700k easily, in a year or 2 probably not

and thats an 1800x

[prime jasper]

i5 3470T
8 GB RAM
GT 1030

can i run battlefield 3?

[weak girder]

sure

[prime jasper]

its a T @weak girder

[weak girder]

hm?

[prime jasper]

it means 2 cores 4 threads with boost enabled

[weak girder]

oh

still gonnd run pretty well

bf3 is quite old

[prime jasper]

the boost makes it good ngl

[weak girder]

2 cores is not enough today

[prime jasper]

even as a 2 core processor it runs game smootth

[weak girder]

you need minimum a quad core to game properly today

6 core is ideal

[prime jasper]

nah i just play 2016 17 games

[weak girder]

even 2016-17 games

[prime jasper]

oo

[weak girder]

a quad core is much better

[prime jasper]

i didnt know about cores tho

just bought it but it doesn"t have performance issues

some games run better at 2 cores

[weak girder]

wow your are positive

[weak girder]

not... really

[prime jasper]

oh

sad

[weak girder]

old games can

[prime jasper]

i play valorant on integrated graphics tho....

[weak girder]

but 2 cores nowadays is just gonna result in a stuttery mess

[prime jasper]

runs smooth

[weak girder]

valorant can run on anything

[prime jasper]

what abt boost enabled

[weak girder]

even with boost...

cores are a lot more important than threads

[prime jasper]

also look at the other hardware 8gb ram + gt 1030

it isnt that good

so its ok for me

[weak girder]

8gb ram is ok
not ideal but ok

[prime jasper]

can i run games like gta 5 on dis?

[weak girder]

you could ig

[prime jasper]

i can

[weak girder]

not gonna be on max graphics tho

but it should run ok at 1080p

[prime jasper]

i checked on net guy was getting 60+fps high 1080p

[weak girder]

wouldn't expect that

[prime jasper]

o

[weak girder]

more likee 30-40 ish fps

on high

[prime jasper]

oh

isnt gpu more important for games

[weak girder]

idk I'll have to check before confirming

[weak girder]

your cpu and gpu work today

if one is weaker, it limits the other

[prime jasper]

oh

[weak girder]

yes, the gpu is important

but a good cpu is essential as well and a lot of people overlook that

battlefield eats your cpu

[prime jasper]

everywhere I go i listen this lol

[weak girder]

if you don't have a good one, no matter your gpu it's still gonna stutter
and that can be applied to almost every game

[prime jasper]

i never got a performance issue tho 😦

[weak girder]

what games do you have?

[prime jasper]

watchdogs just deleted gta 4 and valo

i havent installed my gpu yet thats the thing

[weak girder]

the first watchdogs?

[prime jasper]

i have been gaming on integrated gpu for a month now

[weak girder]

you mean drivers?

[prime jasper]

yes 1st watchdogs

[prime jasper]

the card it self

[weak girder]

that's normal.. these are old games and can run on pretty old hardware

[prime jasper]

yes

[weak girder]

except valorant which is recent except it's really not demanding at all

[prime jasper]

i was asking if i can run games like battlefield or stuff smoothly

i dont wanna run 2020 games tho

[weak girder]

bf3 sure

[prime jasper]

bf4

[weak girder]

it's quite old

[prime jasper]

wt bt that

[weak girder]

maybe not

[prime jasper]

ok

[weak girder]

could but with some stuttering

[prime jasper]

aight

is my cpu generally of its time ok

i mean when it was released

[weak girder]

actually bf4 could

[prime jasper]

not compared today

[weak girder]

your cpu enters the minimum specs

but as I expected there should be some stuttering

not game breaking tho

Core i5-3470T 2.8GHz Game Requirement Analysis
Core i5-3470T 2.9GHz is a super power optimized CPU based on the 22nm, Ivy Bridge architecture.

It offers 2 Physical Cores (4 Logical), initially clocked at 2.9GHz, which may go up to 3.6GHz and 3MB of L3 Cache.
Among its many features, Turbo Boost and Virtualization are activated.

The processor integrates relatively weak Graphics called Intel HD Graphics 2500, with 6 Execution Units, initially clocked at 650MHz and that go up to 1100MHz, in Turbo Mode which share the L2 Cache and system RAM with the processor.
Both the processor and integrated graphics have a rated board TDP of 35W.

It is a powerful Dual Core whose performance is good. It's thus capable of running most applications smoothly without any problem.

[weak girder]

let's say it was more common back then

[weak girder]

woah thats a lot of info

when did you buy it?

yeah maybe it could run any app 5 years ago

but now it's not capable of running programs at the same time

This redditors pc looks pretty awesome

Though I wonder if he has the t-virus vaccine on it

[molten coral]

I wonder which case that is, looks like the O11 but also not

[coarse nimbus]

that looks way to many fans than necessary

[supple bane]

ruined by the fact that ALL those fans are exhaust

it looks ace, but they are probably missing out on some cooling potential and have lots of dust build up

[digital hill]

Yeah

[molten coral]

How do you know they are all exhaust

[digital hill]

True

Looks more like intakes

[molten coral]

Bottom and side intake and top is exhaust

atleast that is how it should be

[coarse nimbus]

bottom intake for maximum amount of dust collection

[supple bane]

generally, the side with the supports on is the exhaust side

ive experience with different fans, all from different manufacturers and they all use that

cooler master, deep cool and corsair

[molten coral]

Well yeah but I was kinda talking about the other side

although I didn't really specify that

[supple bane]

what side? all the fans i can see have the pretty side pointing inwards. which means they are all exhausts

[molten coral]

talking in general not about that build

[supple bane]

ahhh

yeah, if the sticker is pointing inwards, it means its an exhaust, if the back side of the fan is pointing inwards, it means its intake

[proud trellis]

they aren't

bottom ones are different way around to the front side ones

[flat void]

is it ur ?

[digital hill]

no

[opaque saddle]

It’s so expensive and no one really wanna buy it as a normal consumer. if we all use it as our system drive in a blind test, I don’t think we can identify any noticeable differences apart from much lower the latency in PCIE 3 SSD era...

[digital hill]

Ah

[prime jasper]

@weak girder i checked a site... Its and i5 with 2 cores not a core 2 duo lol. And it said i caan play many games i checked website ;)

[opaque saddle]

Depends on what games you wanna play. Lower specs computers can run the game but without a good gaming experience, like powerpoint slides

[prime jasper]

?

its a decent processor

not if u look today

but if u go 3 years back

[weak girder]

even 3 years back

it was ok 5 years ago

and decent maybe 6-7 years ago

[prime jasper]

i can play games bro @weak girder

it isnt that bad

Its good

i dont wanna play latest stuff

its decent enough

I am getting 35 fps

But there is constant fps drop to about 6 fps

[grizzled crater]

back again... looking for some help with pc bf1 gun texture issues.

[weak girder]

what is your gpu?

it could be lack of vram but I wouldnt get why it would only be the gun

[opaque saddle]

I think someone had the same issue before

Can’t remember who it was, ended up telling me it was a driver issue

[grizzled crater]

evga gtx 1060 6gb sc

[grizzled crater]

yea... it's essentially like guns textures aren't loading in correctly... they look low res and fuzzy

[opaque saddle]

I can’t remember who I was helping with last time

Try DDU to uninstall the driver

[grizzled crater]

i've tried uninstalling with ddu and reinstalling newest drivers before

no avail

tried uninstalling game and reinstalling on formatted ssd

[opaque saddle]

Try lower the settings

[grizzled crater]

tried many combinations of settings, all at low, med, high and ultra

[opaque saddle]

Have you uninstalled the game?

Or it only appears in game?

[grizzled crater]

only appears in game

[opaque saddle]

I still can’t remember the solution

That someone that I have helped last time

And eventually found out the solution

[grizzled crater]

thanks for help

tried to reach out to answers hq for solutions too, but we'll see

strange issue, cause rest of textures look fine lol

just guns...

[opaque saddle]

Anyway sounds like in game issue to me. Try repair or reinstall the game first

No worries

[grizzled crater]

it must be a game issue.. I have repaired and reinstalled the game multiple times now and the problem still persists

[weak girder]

most of the time when ddu doesnt work is that you don't have the latest version running

I think it's a driver issue

[grizzled crater]

thanks for help seb

i will try to update ddu and uninstall drivers

[opaque saddle]

So here is what I have found for the solution regards to the “texture issue”

Incorrect texture has been applied to the weapons

[weak girder]

make sure to follow a good tutorial

you could screw something up if you don't uninstall the drivers correctly

[grizzled crater]

i followed a good tutorial and uninstalled drivers with ddu and installed new drivers, issue still persists

fully updated ddu*

[weak girder]

yeah

[chrome skiff]

Why are you getting the qvo? Its pretty cheaply made ssd. The 850 evo would be much better

Oh and dramless iirc

Ice are you in the states? Amazon has the adata su800 1tb ssd with dram on sale for 99 bucks and i think a coupon

Oh shit its 15 bucks off

85 bucks for that ssd

I went to sleep my bad , does it say how much dram is in the ssd’s or not ?

[supple bane]

no

[proud trellis]

oh

is there any ssd’s you guys know which is 1tb and it around 80 pound ?

[supple bane]

do you need one tho?

didnt you just buy an ssd?

[proud trellis]

I would say I do , I have the 240gb one which has my windows , and then 2x1tb HHD’s

[proud trellis]

I did but it never came Idk why , no point in tracking where it is now

[supple bane]

wait you paid for it ?!

[proud trellis]

yeah

[supple bane]

and it never arrived and you didnt follow it up?!

where did you buy it from?

[proud trellis]

I ordered it around the 10th December for Christmas

from scan

[supple bane]

then fucking message them and ask lmao

[proud trellis]

ok

do you think I will be able to get it then ? I doubt I will

[supple bane]

of course you will

and if you dont you can contact trading standards lol

you cant just pay for something, not get it then give up

[proud trellis]

I will contact them now

[supple bane]

i cant believe you paid for something and never even attempted to contact the company when it never arrived. since you paid they have a legal obligation to get that product to you, you need to stand up for your money if things like that happen

[strong breach]

what Granty said

[proud trellis]

dont think my mum has the email anymore

[molten coral]

Don’t you have an account on Scan?

Also why don't you use your own e-mail

[proud trellis]

yes

nah I can’t find the email , I’m allowed to order a new one tho

[strong breach]

the website you ordered should have a order history section

no need for emails

[molten coral]

You don't have to order a new one, Scan need to deliver the product after you paid for it.

[proud trellis]

I will look for the order history

[molten coral]

order history, get the order ID and contact scan

[proud trellis]

oh ..... I don’t have an account , they just ordered things via guest account

I will just get a new one , it was a 30 pound 500gb ssd , doubt I will get it delivered

[molten coral]

Pretty sure you can still create an account with the corresponding e-mail and after that it will load up the purchases made with that e-mail.

You already fan boi that fan enough, you don't need a gif

[storm osprey]

hey, when you have a fan thats 1/3 the price of a noctua fan but almost performs the same, you gotta announce that

damnnn.. that custom status

[proud trellis]

why are you so obsessed with those

[toxic wigeon]

Haha fan go brr

[storm osprey]

what way said

but these fans go brr at the best bang for buck

[toxic wigeon]

Best brr for buck

[storm osprey]

lol yesssss

[proud trellis]

you have no taste

you just go plain all the time

[storm osprey]

you have no performance

[proud trellis]

ff sake

[storm osprey]

ill spend like 10% more for better aesthetics if performance is the same, otherwise i aint doing it

[proud trellis]

i do admit some RGB fans are overpriced like corsair

but not all RGB fans are a waste

[fallen harbor]

i filled my computer with molex blue light fans because any rgb fan was x5 more expensive

[weak girder]

nah but when the guy who built my friends pc put rgb fans and 1x16gb ram it kinda makes me mad

[proud trellis]

just get another stick then 16

[storm osprey]

my problem with rgb is mostly people having a limited budget (very few dont) and yet they drop all this money on rgb shit

as long as youre not leaving peformance on the table to make a cool looking pc i dont care

[proud trellis]

i have 2 rgb things that came in my pc , my front pannel and my rear fan

[storm osprey]

but thats only like a 5600x/10600k with 3080/6800xt build

[opaque saddle]

Don’t know why I don’t like RGB stuff inside my rig

[storm osprey]

i wouldnt mind it, i like the looks, but im not gonna spend more for it

[opaque saddle]

I would rather to turn my rig into a display monitor

I found it cool

[proud trellis]

i would spend a extra 100 pounds on RGB

ngl

[storm osprey]

thats a gpu upgrade though

[opaque saddle]

I guess 100 bucks is enough for a new IPS display

Mount it to your desktop side panel

[storm osprey]

until 3080 another 100 bucks will get you a better gpu

or even a new cpu

[proud trellis]

i have a list in pcpart picker for my next build whenever that is , and i spent like an extra 70 pound on RGB

[storm osprey]

gross

[proud trellis]

i wouldnt mind spending things on RGB

it looks nice at night time

[storm osprey]

rock made a night light out of his pc

[opaque saddle]

If I have to spend hundred bucks on RGB, I would rather to spend it on RGB lighting

[proud trellis]

oh btw nyphon did i send u the pics of my ram to you

[storm osprey]

probably

[opaque saddle]

If you got an ambient sensor paired with it, it looks nice and building the atmosphere

[storm osprey]

the only thing that has rgb capabilities in my build is my gpu

[opaque saddle]

This is what I will do if I have to spend 100 bucks on RGB

[proud trellis]

tbf tho i like nyphons pc

[opaque saddle]

I got a mouse, GPU and motherboard all on RGB OFF

[proud trellis]

it looks clean without a shit tonne of lights beaming in your eyes

[proud trellis]

wait what

wtf

[storm osprey]

the things i have rgb on i just set to orange

mmmm i love me some orange

[proud trellis]

isnt your AIO also RGB ?

[opaque saddle]

And my monitor is also RGB as well

[proud trellis]

what moniter is it

[opaque saddle]

I got 3 lol

[proud trellis]

the fuck

[opaque saddle]

viewsonic vx2758-2kp-mhd
DELL S2721QS
xiaomi 34" ultrawide

[proud trellis]

what gpu is it you have ?

mine can only handle 1 moniter but its because i play 1440p

[proud trellis]

ohh

[opaque saddle]

With this as well

[proud trellis]

a 2070 must be strong

[opaque saddle]

not that strong

sometimes it go up to 95% utilisation

so i have to use my 960 for 2nd or even 3rd monitor

[proud trellis]

yeah

does higher resolution higher the utilization on a cpu then ?

[opaque saddle]

much higher

[proud trellis]

oh

[opaque saddle]

but mostly 50-60

bfv is exception

coz i run it at 720p lmao

[proud trellis]

bfv is annoying

i can run it fine now but i have to wait like 1 min before i can start running as its so laggy

[storm osprey]

you run bfv at 720p?

[opaque saddle]

yes

[storm osprey]

why?

[opaque saddle]

coz my 2070s is too slow for bfv

so i run it at 1720x720 at 144hz

without FFR on

[proud trellis]

720p 144hz ?

[opaque saddle]

yeah

[proud trellis]

they do 720p moniters with 144hz ?

[opaque saddle]

custom res

[proud trellis]

how is it not blurry ?

[opaque saddle]

blurry for sure

in return for faster reaction time but i cant see things far behind

[proud trellis]

yeah

[opaque saddle]

coz i dont snipe and usually do close range combat

[proud trellis]

i love sniping

[opaque saddle]

...

right

[proud trellis]

lol .. anyway

[opaque saddle]

anyway if i use my macbook and usually i will set it to 1080p res for 4 times sharpness

so it is 4k under the hood, but it looks like 1080p

for all applications and windows

[proud trellis]

i didnt know res highered cpu utilization tho

thought it just lowered fps

[opaque saddle]

not that much

coz it is still capped and bottlenecking

all cpu are basically too slow for 4k gaming

[fallen harbor]

what in the what

[proud trellis]

oh

[opaque saddle]

coz if i run bfv at 3440x1440p, it will be considered as 1440p to 4k gaming

[fallen harbor]

ah slow for 144fps

ok

[supple bane]

Man, 2070 super running at 720p

That hurts me

[opaque saddle]

then it will be like 80fps

coz i do recording as well, so 10% performance loss hurts a lot

[storm osprey]

4k gaming is easier on cpus though

[opaque saddle]

we all know 4k gaming isnt 1080p res cpu utilisation x4, but a bit more

[storm osprey]

thats why a 10400f is only 1 fps slower than a 5600x at 4k gaming

[opaque saddle]

weird logic aye

i must say intel's 14nm is well optimised and quite dense compared to tsmc' 7nm (although not as dense as 7nm)

[supple bane]

wait, is that richard madden?

[storm osprey]

idk famous people

[storm osprey]

that doesnt help

[supple bane]

damn ando dropping some facts

[proud trellis]

pink is one of my fav colours lmaoo

[storm osprey]

i wear a bright pink shirt to work and everyone looks at me weird

[fallen harbor]

they aren't men of culture

[prime jasper]

I like purple better I'm a guy btw

[storm osprey]

ehh, they just gotta be macho

[proud trellis]

they are ashamed that you look cool and they don’t

[storm osprey]

yea purple is way better

[primal pier]

Purple do be nice

[fallen harbor]

i prefer pink over purple

pink is generally nice

magenta too

but pink always better

[opaque saddle]

orange

[storm osprey]

yes?

(my origin name is OrangeNyphon)

[molten coral]

now you're yellow

[storm osprey]

gross

[proud trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/kid-look-stare-awkward-guilty-gif-5289290

[storm osprey]

wait that means admin

ive made a list of people to ban for this moment

[proud trellis]

ahh shit

[storm osprey]

1. ice
2. rock
3. rock

[fallen harbor]

nooo

poor lil ice

[proud trellis]

ikr

i mean he has a point of removing me

no more complaints about my computer not working

[storm osprey]

well you actually listened to my advice for once

[proud trellis]

yeah true

[fallen harbor]

what was the advice

[proud trellis]

ssd advice

[fallen harbor]

but i was right about it being the two monitors right? i want my muffin reward

[proud trellis]

yeah you was right

[storm osprey]

what is the 2 monitor thing?

[proud trellis]

my cpu was getting pinned to 100% because i was running 2 moniters both 1440p

[storm osprey]

like idle or during games?

[proud trellis]

during games

[storm osprey]

interesting

[proud trellis]

but now i only have the 1 i dont get pinned to 100%

cant wait till this SSD comes tho

gonna put CW on it

[storm osprey]

cold war?

ive been playing it since you didnt buy my copy

[proud trellis]

i got the game when it was on sale

[storm osprey]

im fucking swole bro

[proud trellis]

4 hours play time

[storm osprey]

4 hours AND 23 MINUTES LIL HOMIE

[proud trellis]

i cant rlly speak i have around 15 hours

have you played the prop hunt on it ?

[storm osprey]

nopes

i mostly play face off or domination

[proud trellis]

dom is so sweaty

is your game on an ssd ?

[storm osprey]

yes, i only have ssd

[proud trellis]

oh

wait what , only ssd's ?

[storm osprey]

yee

adata sx8200 pro 1tb, mx500 500gb, and samsung 850 256gb

[proud trellis]

oh

i was looking at the samsung ssd's but the 1TB ones were like 120 pound

which is stupid

[digital hill]

Well looks like there's going to be a sucessor to gt 710

the gt 1010

[storm osprey]

for gaming theres hardly a difference between a decent sata ssd and a nvme drive

[digital hill]

though later on it could be bigger

[storm osprey]

yea hopefully

[digital hill]

because nvme could also mean 0 load times

[proud trellis]

idek how im gonna fit it

i need to see if i have any space in my drive slot

[storm osprey]

i can only hope with consoles adopting ssd that load times in general will be cut down

@proud trellis case?

[proud trellis]

company own case

[storm osprey]

hmm

[proud trellis]

im pretty sure i do anyway

[storm osprey]

i mean, at worst you lay your ssd on the ground in your case

[proud trellis]

ssd's are only thin arent they ?

i should have enough room

[storm osprey]

yea they are tiny

[proud trellis]

should be fine then

[storm osprey]

like i said, at worst you put it in the floor

assuming you have a psu shroud no one will tell

[proud trellis]

a psu shroud ?

[proud trellis]

ohhhh

btw that case looks cool

[storm osprey]

solid budget case

even if it is a ripoff meshify c

[molten coral]

what about airflow

[storm osprey]

the front panel is a mesh

hence meshify ripoff

[molten coral]

oh my brain didn't connect the dots with that

But I've seen some cases with like 0 intake on the front

Like why would you even buy that

[storm osprey]

🤷 looks cool

most of those have some side vents at least

this one shows the mesh better

there are non mesh versions though

[molten coral]

that doesn't look too bad

[storm osprey]

in usa its like 60 bucks too

[molten coral]

better than any NZXT cases

[storm osprey]

nzxt cases are such memes

when you said "some cases have 0 intake" i instantly thought nzxt

and the h410 iirc

[molten coral]

That was kinda the reason I said it tbh

[storm osprey]

h510

im sure theres gaps at top and bottom but my lord

[molten coral]

I kinda wanna build a new PC because it's fun but it's an expensive hobby

[storm osprey]

buy that pc building simulator game

[proud trellis]

^

it looks fun

[storm osprey]

its 12 bucks on humble bundle with 5 other games right now

[proud trellis]

im pretty sure there are air holes at the top at the front pannel

[molten coral]

humble bundle yikes

[molten coral]

Also making a build digitally isn't the same

[storm osprey]

nah

[digital hill]

I mean it isn't but vr will make it real

[storm osprey]

lol i wonder if that support vr

[molten coral]

probably

[digital hill]

They should

[molten coral]

I tried VR so many times now and it always makes me sick

[proud trellis]

building a pc does seem addicting

[digital hill]

There's an engine building simulator in vr

[storm osprey]

imagine if pc build vr makes you route the cables too

[supple bane]

i mean, just a new case will require a new pc build i guess

and can totally change the way your pc looks

[molten coral]

eh there aren't really any cases that have my attention at the moment

[supple bane]

imo people always say that the upgrade cycle should be 3-5 years. but i say a new case every year is aight

[digital hill]

I'm gonna create a pc with 0 cable management

[storm osprey]

a new case every year?!

[supple bane]

cuz its not too expensive, and gives your pc a refreshing look every time

if you enjoy pc building i mean

[digital hill]

I mean cases every year is weird

[storm osprey]

ive had my case for like 5 years

and kept my old internals for longer

[molten coral]

I currently have the Lian Li O11 and kinda have been thinking about buying the mini version lol

[digital hill]

I had to change my case due to the fact the fractual focus g is a good case but I didn't really like it and how it looks

since there's always going to be a rat nest

[proud trellis]

the lian li case you have nacho looks awesome

[storm osprey]

i kind of want a new case since my case now is kind of like an nzxt case that has the front panel solid

i took the front panel off for better thermals though, and i made my cart specifically for my case too

[supple bane]

I LOVE that thermal take case

God whats it called

[molten coral]

this was my first build

[supple bane]

The open one

[storm osprey]

you mean thermalfake

[molten coral]

It looks so bad

[storm osprey]

pfffft

[supple bane]

Thermal take core p3

[molten coral]

and tbh it was a bad PC

[supple bane]

Id love to do a build in that

And it would be super easy

[digital hill]

I am already annoyed by the cpu cooler

Though I like the hard drive bay

[storm osprey]

this was my first case

all plastic baby

[supple bane]

If I ever get a case soon, it will probably be the core p3

[digital hill]

My first case was the fractual focus g

Built my first pc last year

[supple bane]

This was my first case

Its shit

Terrible to build in, and awful airflow

[molten coral]

eh it's a lot better now :P

I love the Lian li PC-011

Such a fun case to work in

[supple bane]

You can't even get the eps cable above the motherboard tray in that coolermaster case its so bad

[digital hill]

Man it does look fun

[supple bane]

The hole is there, but it isn't big enough

[storm osprey]

sadly i want meshify c, which is really just my pc with a mesh front

[proud trellis]

why

[storm osprey]

why do i want a meshify?

[proud trellis]

yes

wait nvm i read it wrong

[primal pier]

Can’t see the eyes lad

[proud trellis]

ohhh god

[molten coral]

the eyes?

[proud trellis]

the 2 fans

=2 eyes

[storm osprey]

i cant find the eyes we did for nachos build

[molten coral]

I hate it

[proud trellis]

LTT'S new vid is sponsored by intel

[fallen harbor]

i love it

[proud trellis]

do you guys think headset stands are worth it , nothing fancy but something just plain

[molten coral]

I don't think it's worth it.

[digital hill]

I remember someone buying a banana rack as a headset stand

[proud trellis]

WTF

[molten coral]

banana racks are perfect for it though

[digital hill]

and much cheaper too

and more common

[proud trellis]

i literally have one in my kitchen lmao

[digital hill]

Then there's your free headphone stand

[proud trellis]

yup

[tender horizon]

i just put my headphones on my monitor

its effective because my desk isnt big enough for any extras

[digital hill]

My monitor has a stand in the back too

[weak girder]

ain't that annoying when your not doing gaming

?

[tender horizon]

nah

[proud trellis]

this sounds a bit gross but when i have been sat their gaming my ears obvs get hot so when i put them on my moniter the headphones make mark my moniter and it is annoying to clean

[proud trellis]

i can now follow my dreams and party in the shower

[digital hill]

and pain

[latent light]

https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-g-sync-ultimate-hdr-1000-requirement/

[proud trellis]

you've suddenly changed

this looks like a decent looking case tbf

[weak girder]

this thing boggles my mind

why are the fans on the sides and the gpu sideways

[proud trellis]

I wouldn’t put a AIO at the top , I’d put it on the side instead and have the actual front panel side as Intake and then rear and top as out take

because then the front panel fans are feeding the AIO fans cool air and the heat coming from the gpu fans will rise and go out the top fans

[weak girder]

it just feels wierd

[ashen ether]

Help, when I boot up my PC, I cant access most websites and apps such like steam, origin and discord wont connect. But when I open chrome and open sites as facebook, youtube and google it's working fine
steam, origin, discord and other sties only work after 10 minutes

[weak girder]

wtf

[ashen ether]

nvm fixed

[proud trellis]

can someone help please , I got a ssd and installed it but it hasn’t shown up in documents

[molten coral]

Go to disk management

@proud trellis

[supple bane]

its fully not detected

[proud trellis]

@molten coral do you know what this means

[weak girder]

when I installed my drive it didn't show that

[supple bane]

i guess you could just press ok?

[weak girder]

ig

[supple bane]

although you decide on that lol

i have heard of GPT before, iirc all that means is you cant install an OS on that drive

[molten coral]

You want GPT, it's basically the newer version of MBR.

[supple bane]

there you go @proud trellis

just press ok

[proud trellis]

its showed up now

one min

[weak girder]

4 years ago I was installing a torrent version of photoshop
it asked me to download adobe flash player

shpuldnt have pressed on ok

[supple bane]

there you go

click the black one

then basically just spam ok

unless you want to change the name

[weak girder]

yeah it has to be unallocated so it show up right?

[molten coral]

It isn't activated yet

[proud trellis]

where

[molten coral]

click on it > new simple volume> and just follow it

[supple bane]

^

[molten coral]

Just be sure you when it asks for size you do the maximum

[molten coral]

Give it a name and click next.

[proud trellis]

is it best to "do not format this volume"

[supple bane]

next

[proud trellis]

oh

[supple bane]

name it, press next

[molten coral]

your SSD should be ready now

[proud trellis]

thanks guys

[molten coral]

nice

np

[proud trellis]

when i installed a HHD ages ago, i never had to do all this did i ? @supple bane

[supple bane]

no because it was out of an old pc ?

so it was already partitioned

[proud trellis]

ohh

[latent light]

Intel outsources next gen Core i3 to TSMC's 5nm process

i3 will still be Comet-Lake based, just on a smaller node it appears

Only i5 and up will use Rocket-Lake architecture

[radiant plover]

Is it worth upgrading to RTX 30 series ?

[molten coral]

Depends on what you have now

[weak girder]

if you have a 2060 or more nah

/1070 or more

exceot if you really want a very smooth consistent 1440p 144hz experience

[molten coral]

Also really depends on the CPU tbh don't want to bottleneck it

[weak girder]

yeah

[radiant plover]

I7 8700k
GTX 1050
8GB ram

[weak girder]

ooh yeah proabably wanna upgrade that gpu right there

[molten coral]

8700k should be fine

[weak girder]

go for the 3060 ti if you really want a 3000s series

[molten coral]

I personally also would upgrade the ram

to 16GB

[radiant plover]

I get alot of stutters on Fjell map thought could be my gpu not powerful enough.

[radiant plover]

Might want to do that aswell

[weak girder]

not rly

its the ram

[molten coral]

Do you have a single stick or dual?

[radiant plover]

It's a single stick ram

[molten coral]

oof

[weak girder]

your gpu may contribute but its mostky just gonna cause bad fps

[weak girder]

oh no 1x8 is the worse

probably where the stuttering is coming from

[molten coral]

Yep

[radiant plover]

Forgive me but I bought this pc prebuilt and I regret it ever since.

[weak girder]

reminds me of someone

lookin at you @proud trellis

[molten coral]

tbh prebuilts aren't always that bad

It's mostly just how you order it

[weak girder]

unfortunatley a lot of them are

[proud trellis]

yeah ?

[weak girder]

skytech leaves a lot of fake reviews

[molten coral]

Hessu 👀

[weak girder]

and thus get a lot of stars on amazon but ehy're actually shit

[radiant plover]

Well thank you guys when I have the money I should upgrade my ram do you think 16GB should be good enough?

[strong breach]

prebuilts are either too expensive than they actually are, or then they cheap out on the motherboard so upgradability goes to the trash or cheap out in RAM, PSU or something like that

👀

[weak girder]

16 most definitely yes

leaves a lot of space for multitasking

[radiant plover]

Alright thank you SEB

[weak girder]

and games wont occupy more than 12 in general

[radiant plover]

My free ram space rn is 600mb and 7.4Gb is use by battlefield and other applications like GeForce and etc.

[weak girder]

8gb is still ok today, it may cause stuttering but its mostly because it's 1 stick

I don't know the exact details but somehow 1 stick reduces gpu usage and your fps by a lot

[molten coral]

Depends on where you buy the prebuilt but most people will just buy it from some mega corporation instead of a more unknown builder.

[strong breach]

pretty much :^)

[weak girder]

but the problem is most people who buy prebuilts don't know a whole lot about pc's and the corporation who built it will cheap out on the ram and motherboard

[proud trellis]

does anyone know how to move game install locations on blizzard.net

[weak girder]

pretty much the same as any app probably

[proud trellis]

think i might have to uninstall cod and then re download it onto the new drive

[weak girder]

press windows-I>apps>apps and features choose the app and click move

oh you mean games?

theres an option on blizzard settings to move it I think

kinda like steam

[fallen harbor]

why do yall tell the guy what parts he should upgrade to before he specified what level of performance he is looking for?

[molten coral]

I was just waiting for you to say that.

[proud trellis]

ahh shit i read it WRONG AGAIN

for fuck sake

[fallen harbor]

oh ok

[latent light]

https://www.pcgamer.com/arctic-mx-5-thermal-paste/

[storm osprey]

interesting

arctic do be killing it though

p12 gang gratata

[lofty light]

I've got a gigantic tube of Arctic Silver, just a generally good paste

[latent light]

i9-11900K cheaper than 10900K, while 11700K, 11600K, 11400 are more expensive than predecessors

[digital hill]

Wait that makes no sense

Why make the i9 11900k only one cheaper

[latent light]

Because it has 8 cores, 2 less than the 10900K

11900K has same core count as 11700K, only difference will be like 200-300 MHz clockspeed

Just wait until 12th gen imo

Intel will have DDR5 and 16 cores on 12th gen Alder-Lake

Also larger performance leap than 11th gen

[digital hill]

Ah that makes sense

[digital hill]

A redditor pc setup tipped over

[opaque saddle]

ddr5 ram cost... really expensive

[supple bane]

what de fuq happened there

[digital hill]

No idea

[opaque saddle]

just like when ddr4 just launched

i would just wait if i were you. like 3 years after

and @weak girder have you seen the pic i have pinged you earlier?

[weak girder]

but...

how

[digital hill]

I dunno

Though the monitor mount I want it

If it survive that

[weak girder]

uhh sory, I missed it

[opaque saddle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/422598689928773632/799627076394418176/unknown.png

i said... I reckon i found an interesting pic that i took a few years ago, about Hard Drives and its regional pricing . Of cause you can read it

that was the HDD prices in hong kong a few years ago

[digital hill]

500gb for 335 dollars

[opaque saddle]

like 5 years ago. coz we were talking about regional pricing

[weak girder]

hkd

about 25 usd

[digital hill]

Oh damn

127.06 for 4tb is pretty cheap

[opaque saddle]

i remember a 2tb hdd used to cost 1000 HKD or 129US... that was about 2012?

[weak girder]

it is here

[opaque saddle]

5 years ago tho

even the hdd gets cheaper and cheaper these days

[weak girder]

I don't excpect the prices to have changed that much, I bough a 500gb ssd about 4 month ago and it cost 340 hkd

[opaque saddle]

from golden arcade?

[weak girder]

fortress

[opaque saddle]

why fortress?

its a scam like broadway

[weak girder]

rly?

[supple bane]

i thought you lived in Australia, derek

[opaque saddle]

i do Granty

hmmm people will go to Sham Shui Po

[supple bane]

you moved from hong kong?

[opaque saddle]

i was living in 3 different countries in the past

[weak girder]

sham shui po is rly far from where I live

[opaque saddle]

i remember i had sushi buffet there

and the dragon centre

with rollercoaster. thats was near the golden arcade

Golden arcade is a computer parts mall in hong kong

[digital hill]

My american best buy is bad with pc parts

[weak girder]

to get pc parts I would go to mong kok

[opaque saddle]

NO

[weak girder]

my friend recommended

but I never rly been there

[opaque saddle]

but if you wanna get parts, go to Golden Arcade

[weak girder]

rly?

[opaque saddle]

you know there are two golden computer mall there

[weak girder]

oh yeah, actually I have a friend who bought a pc at sham shui po

he recommended it to me too

[digital hill]

The only store for pc parts is microcenter in my state

[opaque saddle]

not as in golden golden. it is Golden (the one with gold)

[digital hill]

The us is not very friendly with pc parts stores as its all online

[opaque saddle]

yeah but what i can do is to get it online in australia

coz im aussie

[weak girder]

hong kong is quite small actually but because of population concentration we have a billion pc centers

[opaque saddle]

i got my xeon build off there. with like 600 HKD discount

[weak girder]

thats a nice discount

[digital hill]

Damn nice

[opaque saddle]

because intel wont provide you a discount. even the F series is even more expensive there, is what i heard of

a friend of mine, used to shop there every single time and i know some of them are dodgy

[weak girder]

yeah a lot of shops are dodgy here

[opaque saddle]

@digital hill sorry didnt meant to ignore you there...

the only one i would go is centralfield

i remember i bought a chinese made mini pc there back in late 2015 and it almost explode in front of me in the hotel room

[digital hill]

Jeez that psu in there must have been cheap

[weak girder]

a lot of stuff here is makeshift

[opaque saddle]

without the stupid GST

[weak girder]

or resold

in "dodgy shops"

[opaque saddle]

you mean, as in dodgy

[weak girder]

yeah

for how long did you live in hk btw?

[opaque saddle]

@supple bane Just to clarified. I have been living in 3 different countries in the past. usually i would stay in a city for like, a few years before i moved to a new one

hmm i was living in thailand when i was a kid, and i did live in hong kong for like 14 years?

and yes my dad is a white aussie

[supple bane]

I see

[weak girder]

my dad is a white french guy

[weak girder]

I was born in hk

lived here ever since

[opaque saddle]

anyway i moved to straya when i was like 15, and yes spending a few months, almost a year in thailand

[digital hill]

I was born in the us though never lived here as after I was born like 2w or 5w we just moved to lebanon to see with our family

[supple bane]

id love to go to different places. but my family arent that type. we go on holiday every year but they are more into going to a sunny tourist place like spain or Greece and lying by the pool

[opaque saddle]

anyway computer prices are different

[digital hill]

then we moved back in 2006

But technology wise leabanon I don't know

[weak girder]

muuuch cheaper apparently

[opaque saddle]

i went to the one in thailand and my mum said these shops are dodgy

[digital hill]

I wish it was like thailand with all those pc parts store

in the us

[opaque saddle]

pc parts store

[weak girder]

my family loves going to switzerland on holidays

[opaque saddle]

wait up.. you mean as in computer parts? or parts as in pc component

@digital hill

[digital hill]

computer parts yeah

There's very little

All stuck online

[opaque saddle]

coz i know you cant really get pc part components, like the little chip, or resistor unless you get it online

[digital hill]

Yeah

Its annoying trying to buy a 3080 or 3060 as its all online and microcenter is the only store thats sell it in store

[opaque saddle]

always go for 3080

[digital hill]

I want the 3060 ti or 3060 as I don't really got that much money

[opaque saddle]

you wont be regretted coz the stronger the parts are, the more powerful it will be, speaking as in longevity

[digital hill]

Yeah though the 3060 ti would be great in longevity

[opaque saddle]

and if you use it for an extra year before you reckon it's too slow for it, it wouldn't really cost you that much

[digital hill]

Yeah though it costs way too much

for 3080

[opaque saddle]

true, maybe a 3070 will do the job. not sure whether they gonna have new GPU coming out with more vram

[weak girder]

if you're not doing 4k 8gb vram is gonna be more than enough

[opaque saddle]

cant tell coz 8gb of vram is not enough for my 2070s at 3k

[weak girder]

rly?

what game?

[digital hill]

For me eeh 1080p 144hz

3060ti would be enough for 1080p

[weak girder]

it would be enough for 1440p

[supple bane]

i own 3 games that make me run out of vram (8gb, 2070) ark, msfs2020 and onward

[proud trellis]

ark ?

[supple bane]

oh yeah

[weak girder]

well, I have 3

[supple bane]

i hit that 7.8 ish gb cap real quick on ark

[proud trellis]

i dont like ark no more

[opaque saddle]

Planet Zoo

[weak girder]

isnt ark one of those terribly optimized games?

[supple bane]

its ok

[proud trellis]

after playing rust , ark looks shit

[supple bane]

its a massive world, with lots of detail and good enough graphics. so yeah it uses a lot of vram

[weak girder]

after playing rdr2, everything looks shit

[supple bane]

after playing msfs2020 everything looks shit

best looking game out ez

[proud trellis]

the graphics in flight sim look sickkk

[weak girder]

they remind me of google earth pro

[digital hill]

We all forget about saint row 2

should be remembered for the worst pc port

[weak girder]

pretty much every pc port is shit

[digital hill]

Eeh no

Gta v was a good pc port

[weak girder]

look at horizon zero dawn and rdr2 when it first launched

[opaque saddle]

i reckon pubg is another example

[digital hill]

batman arkham knight

[weak girder]

pubg is shit on every platform

pc a bit less

[digital hill]

Anthem launched so bad it corrupts your hard drive on consoles

[weak girder]

oh yeaaah

[opaque saddle]

you guys forgot no man's sky on console

[weak girder]

problem with no mans sky is that they privileged quantity over quality

[opaque saddle]

quantity you mean?

[weak girder]

yeah

[digital hill]

I mean they fixed it though

They're one of the games that become so much better overtime

[opaque saddle]

they did but it was a great disappointment due to bugs and hardware issues

[digital hill]

Yeah

[weak girder]

also a lot of the planets were just boring

[opaque saddle]

like the ps4 version was corrupted

i mean it still run on ps4, but not for long. the hardware can run it but the software cannot

[weak girder]

I had pubg installed on hdd for some reason when parachuting the textures took forever to load

[opaque saddle]

i think another game that runs terribly on pc is... Forza Horizon 4

coz they have a ram cache, eg 64MB of fast memory inside the hard drive to speed things up

when you drive at 400km/h, the hdd struggles to load the texture coz it uses >100mb/s read speed

[weak girder]

then theres crysis remastered but honestly I think they made it terribly optimized for the luls

[proud trellis]

think i found out my freezing issue

i ran a user benchmark and my ssd that windows is on is rated at 37%

[digital hill]

Oof

[proud trellis]

the freezing pisses me off so much

[digital hill]

Yeah is the ssd sata or nvme?

[proud trellis]

nvme is m.2 right ?

[digital hill]

It still is

but not really

[proud trellis]

yeah its little shitty nmve

[digital hill]

can you check its temp
