lucky

#

ive heard buying a powered usb hub fixes it, im going to pick one up soon

ember breach
#

Do you have an older motherboard, or do you use a type C adapter?

quick locust
#

my usb ports are always powered even when pc is off

supple bane
#

and no its a new mobo

#

b450 aorus elite

ember breach
#

Some motherboards have thunderbolt ports that let you plug in both the display port and USB cable into a type C port with an adapter

supple bane
#

thats a fat SOME for ryzen lol

#

i think there are like less than 5 am4 boards that have thunderbolt

#

cuz its an intel standard

ember breach
#

I used to have to unplug and plug it in again on ly laptop, I recall it having to do with my USB C hub

#

I haven't used AMD for a while

quick locust
#

my phone has both usb c and dp in one

ember breach
#

I was burned by bulldozer

quick locust
#

on both ports

#

lul

ember breach
#

My last AMD CPU was the FX 9590 black edition

quick locust
#

toasty

ember breach
#

Yes!

#

God, just running it was like running a pc with a super unstable overclock

quick locust
#

although its probably much more coolable today

#

with newer coolers i mean

ember breach
#

I had a beefy aircooler, too

quick locust
#

5 GHz on 32nm boi

ember breach
#

But it ran so poorly my pc would just freeze constantly, and I had to restart

supple bane
#

yikes, fx

quick locust
#

fx 9590 pc with dual 380X gpus when

supple bane
#

4ghz+ on 6 cores and still performed like ass leo

ember breach
#

So I switched to Intel, then I was stuck on that motherboard for a while with a 6700k , lost that pc when my apartment was burglarised, got an Intel laptop, then I built a new pc with some of my friends spare parts to save money, so I ended up with a 7700k

supple bane
#

amd be like fuck it, throw more of the watty watts at it and call it a day

quick locust
#

intel today

supple bane
#

yeah lol

quick locust
#

although not as bad

#

as fx was

ember breach
#

I miss AMD, though

quick locust
#

ryzen now is stronk

ember breach
#

The first pc I built myself had a phantom II

#

I'm switching to AMD hopefully by the end of the year

quick locust
#

I've got a 8700K so ive no reason to rn

#

Although I used a vega 64 for a bit

supple bane
#

thats even more of a yikes than the fx Kappa

#

vega 64 is the same story. just pump more power into the core and job done

quick locust
#

less than ampere though

supple bane
#

that thing drew like 300w right?

quick locust
#

yeah

#

295W stock

supple bane
#

meanwhile 2070 will outperform it at half the wattage almost

quick locust
#

in gaming yeah

#

in compute the vega 64 destroys it

supple bane
#

yeah

ember breach
#

I've got a 3070 now

quick locust
#

which is why it was gone for first months after launch cause darn miners

supple bane
ember breach
#

Yep, bottleneck city, baybee

supple bane
#

yep

quick locust
#

i got 2080 ti and 8700k

supple bane
#

the 8700k is vastly better than a 7700k tho

quick locust
#

ye

ember breach
#

I was using a 1660 Super

supple bane
#

its got 3x as many threads lol

ember breach
#

I only ever intended it as a temporary card

quick locust
#

quick

ember breach
#

Going to stay on the 3070 for a while

quick locust
#

do you have resizable bar enabled

ember breach
#

I've at least manage to overclock my 7700k to 4.8,might be able to tweak it a bit higher

quick locust
#

I pushed my 8700K to 5.0, but 5.1 is unstable always

ember breach
#

Might delid my 7700k after I've replaced it

#

Just for fun

#

Try to get it to 5.5 or something

quick locust
#

See if you can beat my single core

#

in geekbench

#

it's not that high

#

better than zen 2 but worse than zen 3

ember breach
#

For now I'm happy with what I have, it's not perfect, but I make it work

#

And it'll be fun to see my GPU running without bottlenecks next year

supple bane
# ember breach Just for fun

for ages ive wanted to buy a baggie of old cpu's A. cuz i want to make a cpu keyring and i also want to delid it and play around with it

#

would be a cool keep sake

proud trellis
#

you could of had my old pc's cpu for free. it was a R3

supple bane
#

amd is no good for a cpu keyring

#

because of the pins

proud trellis
#

oh

quick locust
#

keyring epyc or TR

#

jk

supple bane
#

bro if i could find a broken epyc or TR i would buy that shit up

proud trellis
#

how would u turn a cpu into a keyring tho. what would u do to make it actually be attachable to a ring ?

#

kinda curious

quick locust
#

gaming HDD

proud trellis
#

i thought that would be dangerous or something

#

that looks cool

supple bane
#

why would it be dangerous ?

#

you can get really nice cpu's that are dead for next to nothing

#

imagine the flex. my keyring is more powerful than your pc :)

ember breach
#

Hmm, not a bad idea

quick locust
#

dead opterons maybe

#

Dead GPU earrings

quick locust

nvidia actually made one

ember breach
#

Dead Mars II earrings

ember breach
#

God, who remembers Mars II?

supple bane
#

can you forcibly remove a GPU from the PCB ?

#

cuz if you can, that would be so much better than a cpu

quick locust
#

yes you can

#

harder though

quick locust
#

here's one

ember breach
#

If I find my old phantom 2 I might turn it Into something

ember breach
#

Actually, I know where my fx 9590 is

quick locust
#

now imagine a fx 9590 but much lower clocks and less threads

#

then you got ps4/xbox one

#

lul

supple bane
#

meh doesnt look as good

quick locust
#

python why are you so slow sometiems

storm osprey
#

the coding language?

digital hill
#

Well I'm kinda shocked

#

the 5800x is still in stock

#

not being scalped as hard as them gpu's

#

for msrp price

solar kestrel
#

did you ever get the 3060

digital hill
#

Sadly not

solar kestrel
storm osprey
#

when i was in stockdrops for any amd cpu announcements i constantly got 5800x pings, but maybe a 5600x every once in a great big while

digital hill
#

Could be

storm osprey
#

when a 10850k has been similar price for MONTHS (sometimes even lower) is a shame

#

10850k has similar performance, 2 more cores, but of course high power draw and a 5800x will win in lighter titles like csgo/valorant/fortnite

#

once amd turned in their good guy card intel is now the value king, fucking weird

digital hill
#

true but strangest part

#

intel is still 14nm

weak girder
quick locust
#

My code too much for vm to handle

#

jk

ember breach
#

Well, the yield is usually higher for weaker gpu's, no?

#

Like, more gpu's per wafer

#

So when there's high demand and low supply, it makes sense they focus on getting as many gpu's per wafer out there

chrome skiff
#

I posted a link earlier you can get the 10850k on back order at b&h for 33...6? 336 iirc and you can get a 20 dollar off with one of their coupons

AMD Radeon RX 6700 delayed? Cowcotland claims that cut-down Navi 22 is not launching with RX 6700XT. AMD announced its reveal event for March 3rd, and it was believed that AMD could be showing more than just one card, according to Cowcotland, however, that is not the case. AMD is would allegedly only showcase one […]

quick locust
#

hm

latent light
#

RX 6700 XT coming in March with 40 compute units, 12GB
RX 6700 non-XT coming in April/May, 32-36 compute units, 6GB (12GB possible)

#

Probably the exact same lineup as last gen minus the VRAM capacity

quick locust
#

so nvidia barely improved over 2060S and AMD barely did over 5700xt

#

ok then

latent light
#

RX 6700 6GB better be ~$250 msrp

#

If not the 3050Ti will likely run it down in value

#

6700XT is the 3060Ti destroyer

glossy plinth
#

everyone probably just waiting for amd's announcement of fidelityfx super resolution

latent light
#

Super Resolution is already available but there's a new version being announced on March 3rd

#

New version gonna be a massive overhaul iirc

glossy plinth
#

i tried fidelityfx cas on SOTTR

#

its pretty cool

digital hill
#

Well poop

#

my corsair mouse left click stopped working

opaque saddle
#

you can replace the thingy or to get a new mouse

digital hill
#

Well its warrnaty time

#

Took corsair last year to replace one of my keys that broke for no reason like 10-20 days

#

ok it started working now after unplugging it for 30 seconds but I ain't trusting it getting it replaced

Intel Xe 4-tile HPC GPU to be a serious threat to Nvidia and AMD in the datacenter and server side of things

#

Rumored to be more than twice as powerful as Nvidia GA100

quick locust
#

Thing is giant

glossy plinth
#

does anyone even use a intel gpu?

#

wtf

fallen harbor
#

in some places intel is cheaper than ryzen

#

here i5 10400 is VERY much cheaper than ryzen 5 3600

#

so its convenient

quick locust
#

They are making dedicated cards to consumer soon @glossy plinth

opaque saddle
#

10400f i guess...

fallen harbor
#

yes

#

the f

#

sry

glossy plinth
quick locust
#

but their intel graphics for server is nice

#

if its competitive then why not

latent light
#

Yeah but H410 and B460 motherboards wont even support 11th gen @fallen harbor

opaque saddle
#

coz 10400 cost much more right here

#

like 40 AUD more when it is on sale

quick locust
#

Most ryzen is out of stock here except 3600 XT and 5800X

#

and 2600X

latent light
#

You can pair a Ryzen 5 3600 with a $60 ASRock A320 motherboard and still have a chance to upgrade to a Ryzen 5000 CPU in the future

opaque saddle
#

i would be very surprised if people wanna opt for a320 not b450m

quick locust
#

B550 and X570 is what I'd go for

opaque saddle
#

coz asrock b450m cost 75 bucks here

#

75 AUD

quick locust
#

prices dont really drop here so B450 costs the same as when they launched originally

opaque saddle
#

58 USD with tax

quick locust
#

so might aswell buy b550 here

latent light
#

75 AUD for B450 chipset that's a stellar deal wtf

#

Surprised to see a board with VRM cooling at that price

opaque saddle
#

the b450m board is so cheap tho. i can find one for 69bucks

glossy plinth

opaque saddle

VA ultrawide is cheap

fallow garden
#

Yeah cheap

#

400$

opaque saddle
#

IPS ultrawide will cost twice as much

quick locust
#

I paid more for my meds than I did my pc

fallow garden
#

☠️

glossy plinth
#

if your gonna buy an ultrawide, get an ips

opaque saddle
#

coz high end VA looks similar to high end IPS

glossy plinth
#

if its not ips, you just trolling

opaque saddle
#

but if you cant afford for that, go for VA

glossy plinth
#

a litle saving wouldnt hurt

quick locust
#

Imagine TN curved ultrawide OMEGALUL

opaque saddle
#

still depends on whether you think paying twice as much is worth it, not talking about 200. it is starting from 800

quick locust
#

LG website has a typo

opaque saddle
#

the only thing i like VA is black colour is actually in black colour, unlike the infamous greyish black from IPS panels

quick locust
#

Yeah

#

One thing that made me consider between both

opaque saddle
#

still, talking about low to mid end IPS, which is about 350USD

quick locust
#

Contrast far higher on va

opaque saddle
#

the only screen that i have, without those issues is my macbook IPS screen

the black looks like black from VA panel, and no IPS glow

oled isnt really for pc

quick locust

yes but very expensive with monitors

fallow garden

i had a thought about buying an oled monitor but i was confused

huh

#

Phillips has a rather cheap 3440x1440 ultrawide

Not one I'd buy but didnt expect one in that price range

this cost just a bit more than my current monitor

opaque saddle

if it is a curve screen, it will more likely be sourced from samsung

glossy plinth
#

see

#

now thats a monitor

quick locust
#

the phillips one isnt

glossy plinth
#

that doesnt have a shitty design

opaque saddle
#

better to get a curved one rather than not curve

opaque saddle

coz in game screen will look like, straight line

quick locust
#

huh

#

a 500 usd ips ultrawide

#

dunno if it has large drawbacks though

#

besides being 75 Hz

opaque saddle
#

there is no point getting a 75hz monitor for gaming

quick locust

I know

#

I just didnt expect 500 usd ips ultrawide

for the price range tho, people are more likely getting a 144hz VA

Polaroid sell these tvs nowadays. if you can remember the instant camera from the company

glossy plinth
proud trellis
#

would a 1050ti be fine in a streaming only pc

latent light
#

1650 would probably have better codec support because tensor cores iirc

#

I don't really remember but I think there's something about GTX 16 and RTX 20/30 series GPUs that makes them better for recording/streaming than previous generations

molten bramble

I have both, but it's a night/day difference between the two's performance.

1650 is only 24% faster than the 1050Ti on average in gaming

1650 Super on the other hand is a different story

Nearly 80% faster

the regular 1650 is good for very old pcs

1650?

latent light
#

Yeah especially the ones that dont use PCIe power cable

glossy plinth

how about the 1660

fallen harbor

like you have an old pc but you cant afford an entire computer and you are ok by playing 40-70fps, just get a 1650 and that does it

my friend wants to stream escape from tarkov but his cpu isnt good enough he doesnt think

did you ask him what his cpu is?

i have an 8400 and streaming hardly affects my frame rate

#

i never tried tarkov though

latent light
#

Tarkov kills CPU

proud trellis
#

im not sure if its ram ? does streaming take up ram ?

fallen harbor
#

what happened with your pc btw ice, did you get it replaced or what

proud trellis
#

no

fallen harbor
#

wut

proud trellis
#

long story but it works fine

#

i can run BFV perfectly

my sister had a i3 6100 with 8gb ram and tbh getting a regular 1650 was the best decision

latent light
#

1660Ti and 1660 Super are around the same price now with current situation lol

proud trellis
latent light
#

It kills CPU single-core

proud trellis
#

ohh

#

i did say to upgrade his cpu only but dont u have to do alot of things after installing it

#

BIOS wise or something

solar kestrel
#

No

#

Not rly it’s just plop and play rly

#

When I built my pc I didn’t have to do any configurations

#

Well upgraded it

#

Added a new cpu, mobo, psu, eventually gpu

latent light
#

Tarkov is unoptimized, relies way too much on single-core so if you got an older CPU (before Ryzen 3000 or Intel 6th gen) that has relatively low single-core performance you may have a stuttery experience

proud trellis
#

yeah it is unoptimized

latent light
#

Although Ive seen Tarkov be a stutter mess on enthusiast class hardware

#

So results vary lol

proud trellis
#

i remember some guy who had a 3070 im pretty sure it was with a R7 and he was only getting 60 fps lol

solar kestrel
latent light
#

Depends on the R7

#

If it were a R7 1700

#

Then makes sense

#

But a 5800x

#

Then somethings wrong

solar kestrel
#

So grim just to confirm

proud trellis
#

pretty sure it was the 3700x

solar kestrel
#

If the 3050 perform how it’s excepted I would get it over the 1660s?

#

Exspected

#

Whatever I can’t spell

latent light
#

3050 should match the 1660Ti in performance but it will have 4GB VRAM instead of 6GB

proud trellis
#

wait the 3050 has 4GB vram ?

latent light
#

Yes

proud trellis
#

tf

latent light
#

3050Ti has 6GB

proud trellis
#

ohhh

latent light
#

AMD on the other hand isn't going lower than 6GB for this generation (could change for OEM prebuilt PCs)

proud trellis
#

i would of done 6GB instead of 4GB and then 8GB instead of 6GB lol

latent light
#

6600/6600XT has 192-bit bus and 6-12GB
6700/6700XT has 192-bit and 6-12GB as well

proud trellis
#

i dont get why a more powerful gpu has less VRAM then a less powerful GPU that has more Vram

solar kestrel
#

Oh so I should get the 1660s

#

When prices go down

proud trellis
#

i have that card

#

its good

solar kestrel
#

But being realistic how big of a difference is 1660ti vs 1660s

latent light
#

6700XT will compete against 3060Ti/3070
6600XT against 3060

solar kestrel
#

How much power do they use?

latent light
#

There's 2 different power limits for the 6700XT

#

190W and 230W

solar kestrel
#

Ahh

latent light
#

It depends on model

proud trellis
solar kestrel
#

Ya

#

Trying to find the best card to get for that psu

proud trellis
#

i have the 1660s with 450watt

solar kestrel
#

Think it will just have to be the 1660s

proud trellis
#

its a strong card

solar kestrel
#

I also gotta keep in mind I’m just going for 75 FPS 1080 medium to high

proud trellis
#

on what

#

BFV ?

solar kestrel
#

Most games newer I’m on with lmwdium to low

#

Ok*

#

Any bf

proud trellis
#

i play 1440p resolution and can get 70-80fps ultra

solar kestrel
#

Christ

proud trellis
#

on BFV

solar kestrel
#

Wowza

#

I’ll just go with that then

#

And I have a better cpu

proud trellis
#

yup

solar kestrel
#

Wich one do you have

proud trellis
#

i have the 9400f

solar kestrel
#

Like brand or whatever

#

No gpu

proud trellis
#

i5

#

ohhh

#

EVGA

solar kestrel
#

Ok

#

Probably get that one byway

#

Anyway

proud trellis
#

lol

solar kestrel
#

Don’t different brands have somewhat different power consumption?

proud trellis
#

dont think so

solar kestrel
#

Ok

proud trellis
#

not sure tho

solar kestrel
#

Then I might go with an msi

proud trellis
#

the msi version looks nice

solar kestrel
#

Cause Msi has great c rolling

#

Cooling

proud trellis
#

the temps on this card are good

solar kestrel
#

Ok god to know

#

Good

proud trellis
#

i do hit the 70's on most games but i think its just cuz i dont have many fans in my case

solar kestrel
#

F?

proud trellis
#

its not rlly that bad

#

donst most people hit the 70's ?

solar kestrel
#

Celcius or far he hit

proud trellis
#

celcius

solar kestrel
#

O wow

#

That’s close to 200 f

proud trellis
#

lol

solar kestrel
#

Could literally cook an egg on that

proud trellis
#

new way of cooking

#

u dont have to leave ur chair

solar kestrel
#

Lil

#

I’ll

solar kestrel
#

S hard to type in the shower lol

proud trellis
#

in the shower

#

is ur phone safe ?

#

lmao

solar kestrel
#

It’s in a bag

proud trellis
#

oh

solar kestrel
#

The hot water keeps fucking my over

#

Anyway thanks for t he Sheldon

supple bane
#

Custom water cooling with a water chiller

solar kestrel
#

Yah ik but I was wondering cause c is almost 200 f

#

70*

supple bane
#

Yep

#

I don't see your point tho hehe

solar kestrel
#

What is average heat for a flu

#

Gpu

supple bane
#

Maximum is 95c. Id say a maximum comfortable is 85c

solar kestrel
#

I always thought you wanted to say below 150 f

#

Guess I was wrong

supple bane
#

65c?! Nooo

#

Only high end coolers can maintain that

solar kestrel
#

Ahh ok that’s very relaxing

#

Relieving

#

Cpu?

supple bane
#

Intel its a maximum of 110c

solar kestrel
#

Oh ok

supple bane
#

And amd I think its 95?c

#

Those are the temperatures at which the pc will turn on to save the hardware

solar kestrel
#

So 100% cpu at 100f is fine?

supple bane
#

So its actually impossible to damage a component from heat because the system will shut off WAYYY before that happens

solar kestrel
#

I’m sure it would get much hotter if I payed for longer

supple bane
solar kestrel
#

Well I was only at 100 for a few minutes

#

Didn’t check constantly

#

I’ll check agian later

modern gull
#

wot 37c at 100% load?

proud trellis
#

granty was it you who used to have the corsair 275 case ?

modern gull
#

that be amd or?

solar kestrel
#

I don’t think it was 100% now that I think about it

supple bane
#

Besides even if you could damage a component from heat. It won't reduce functionality or performance

#

It only reduces life span

modern gull
supple bane
#

And it changes from like 15 years, to 12 years

solar kestrel
#

Ik

#

Oh lol that’s a long time

modern gull
supple bane
#

So yeah you could run a cpu at 200f every week and it will only have a few years knocked off

solar kestrel
#

Could double my lifespan before it breaks

modern gull
#

btw i think amd cpu needs much lower temps, unsure on this tho

supple bane
#

When I play around with overclocking I manually set my gpu fans to 100%

#

And some times I forget to turn it back to automatic

#

So when I restart my pc my fans default to like 20%

modern gull
#

lul, probably loud 😛

supple bane
#

And my gpu reaches almost 90c

#

Because the fans are barely turning

#

I've done it about 3 times now I think

modern gull
#

You use like msi afterburner?

supple bane
#

I set an alarm in msi after burner for that reason

#

It beeps at me if it reaches 85

modern gull
#

ah. btw cant you start it when windows starts? so it adjusts fans etc...

supple bane
#

Generally means I forgot to turn the fans back on lol

modern gull
supple bane
modern gull
#

But fans still 20%?

supple bane
#

Let me explain again

modern gull
#

Sorry

#

Oh it dont save?

#

then locks to 20

supple bane
#

Why i do really big overclocks i set fan speeds to 100% permanently as keeping temps low is easier than cooling a card down right

#

But when I'm done playing with 3dmark or what ever I will dial back the overclocks but not set the fan speed to the curve again

modern gull
#

oh ya i see

supple bane
#

But for some reason then when I turn my pc off and back on with the fans on manual they default to 20%

#

And I forget I had turned them to manual so it over heats

modern gull
#

mhm i see i see

NVIDIA's CMP 30HX and 40HX mining chips will leverage the 12nm Turing architecture: meanwhile, the higher-end 50HX and 90HX could put supply pressure on 8nm Ampere gaming cards

digital hill
#

Good news for you cpu buyers amd is gonna be in stock for a while since scalpers might be pulling off since they have no use for them

#

no wait

#

its only the 5800x

latent light
#

Ryzen 5 5600 might get announced next week on the 3rd, makes perfect sense to announce a new mid-range CPU with the mid-range RX 6700XT

#

There may be no need for AMD to make a 5600 non-X model as all of Zen3 chips appear to have no trouble reaching 4.6+ GHz boost

storm osprey
#

5600 countering next gen intel hype makes most sense. Though I wonder how stock will be.

its been a long time since you last sent a message

actually it's been 9 hours

ig I wasnt awake then

subtle adder
#

Ok

weak girder
#

@subtle adder it your disk an old hdd?

#

so is it an ssd?

subtle adder
#

Ok Got confused

#

Its not ssd

#

Its disk

weak girder
#

is it an hdd or ssd?

#

disk can be whatever

subtle adder
#

Hdd

weak girder
#

hmm is it old?

weak girder
subtle adder
#

System software said everything Is ok

weak girder
#

getting an ssd will fix your problem

subtle adder
#

I have 3 hdd's

#

So Idk why Is It craping out

weak girder
#

the number of hdd yku have doesnt change anything

supple bane
#

@weak girder this is why its only using 25% of my cpu

#

msfs is only core 0 intensive

subtle adder
#

Could be a Windows glitch or virus ?

weak girder
#

its because you have an hdd

#

only reason

supple bane
#

that happens @subtle adder

subtle adder
#

Ive seen plenty other people with hdd's and theirs are runing fine

supple bane
#

yeah because you probably have an old or crappy one

#

my laptop does it, im waiting to get an ssd

weak girder
supple bane
#

my laptop has a normal hard drive in it but its maximum read speed is like 5mb/s. i bet yours is the same

subtle adder
#

It sometimes was overheating so maybe becaus of that. So Its hardware problem 100%

supple bane
#

your not listening

quick locust
#

HDD sequential should be 100-200 MB/s on most modern drives

supple bane
#

hard drives dont over heat

#

your problem is that you have a slow hdd and it cant keep up

weak girder
#

and installing windows on it is a bad idea anyways

subtle adder
#

I know but the Heat Impacted the HDD

weak girder
#

no

supple bane
#

no it didnt

#

hard drives draw like 5w maybe less

#

its not possible for them to overheat

weak girder
#

^

quick locust
#

Anyway yeah put windows on ssd and rest on hdd

weak girder
#

yes

#

and itll fix your problems

#

thats all

quick locust
#

at least youre not using emmc luæ

supple bane
#

@subtle adder open task manager, and see what the disk read/write speeds are

quick locust
#

lul*

subtle adder
#

So anyone who uses HDD on Windows will have crapy booting up. What a joke

weak girder
weak girder
#

thats normal

#

hdd are old af

supple bane
#

ok im just gonna leave cuz he isnt listening

weak girder
#

its getting frustrating

subtle adder
#

I am listening

weak girder
#

no

quick locust
#

@weak girder emmc sucks almost more than hdds

weak girder
#

you arent

supple bane
#

no your fucking not

#

ive told you, open task manager and see what the disk read and write speeds are

#

these

subtle adder
#

I dont have a spare ssd laying around lol

#

Ok

weak girder
supple bane
#

if its 200mb/s then you have a problem, but if its pinned at 100% and your hard drive is doing like 10mb/s then its what i predicted

#

its a crappy old hdd

weak girder
#

they cost 20 dollars

#

for a 128 gig one

subtle adder
quick locust
#

Also try to reduce startup programs and background tasks

#

Some of them keep using disk

weak girder
subtle adder
#

Ok pal

weak girder
#

an ssd isnt usually expensive

supple bane
#

reee thats not going to help if the hdd is old.

quick locust
#

use hwinfo64

#

and go check

supple bane
#

look some crappy hard drives basically die

weak girder
supple bane
#

sigh

#

when old hard drives die their read speeds go to less than 10mb/s

subtle adder
supple bane
#

which is why im trying to get him to send the read speeds

weak girder
subtle adder
#

Im getting there

supple bane
#

look let me show you my laptop

quick locust
#

Not really thats when they move smaller files

subtle adder
#

Wait Like 5 minutes

weak girder
subtle adder
#

So whats the point of It then

weak girder
#

you dont understand

quick locust
#

HDDs dont really slow down with age @supple bane

weak girder
#

what program

subtle adder
#

Its craping out. I cant enter In everything

#

Its really slow

weak girder
#

is it task manager?

supple bane
#

look see

#

thats my laptop

#

its doing nothing rn

subtle adder
#

Ok Its fine now

quick locust
#

Small files and file fragmentation

#

Its not the drive getting slower

weak girder
#

granty is right

supple bane
#

its barely got anything on it but sure

quick locust
#

HDDs dont really slow with time

weak girder
#

yes they do

quick locust
#

when they die its usually rapid

supple bane
#

well maybe its just shit then

quick locust
#

No

supple bane
#

but my point is. if he sends what the read speeds of his drive are. it can say alot about whats happening

subtle adder
#

Shit Ill dm you

supple bane
#

but he wont do that because yall keep telling him to do other things gigaMeowStatic

quick locust
#

Just use hwinfo64 or crystaldiskinfo

subtle adder
#

Calm down

#

Ive sent ya dm. I cant post here

supple bane
#

so its not obviously chugging,

#

so its probably just normal hdd speeds what you are experiencing then

subtle adder
#

Sure

supple bane
#

not something like my laptop where the hard drive is really bad

subtle adder
#

Ok

#

Ill try deinstaling programs and games

#

Thanks

supple bane
#

that probably wont help

quick locust
#

wont really do much

subtle adder
#

Yea

quick locust
#

HDDs dont slow as they get near full

subtle adder
#

Ok

quick locust
#

fragmentation and lots of small files is their bane lul

subtle adder
#

Well its not a big deal anyway

#

Thanks again

opaque saddle
#

HDD as system disk...

quick locust
#

Yeah

opaque saddle
#

also page file

supple bane
quick locust
#

He should get 128 gb ssd sometime

opaque saddle
#

it is gonna be really slow

subtle adder
#

Yea ok

#

I get It

quick locust
#

it does but windows does it automatically

opaque saddle
quick locust
#

Why have two ntfs partitions on it

#

oh well

opaque saddle
#

actually i used to have another ssd plug in

quick locust
#

I've used ssd as os drive since 2014 or so

opaque saddle
#

i swapped to ssd in early 2016

#

coz ssd at that time cost a fortune and not as reliable as expected

#

apart from samsung

#

i remember my friend got the 120/128gb ssd and it dies within a year. so he replaced it 3 times during the warranty period

quick locust
#

My 2014 ssd is a liteonite one

#

256 GB toshiba MLC

opaque saddle
#

i wished mlc is a thing in 2020

#

coz there are too less manufacturers are making mlc ssd

#

mostly TLC and QLC is getting cheaper and dominating the lower end/ high capacity budget market

molten coral
quick locust
#

@opaque saddle yeah and PLC soon

#

I wish they'd make a nand replacement

#

theres optane but expensive

opaque saddle
#

hopefully those aren't "archive drives"

#

coz QLC (no cache) has a speed of 80MB/S. PLC will be slower

quick locust
#

my current drive has pretty low rating

#

yeah I know

#

lower speed and endurance

opaque saddle
#

worse than HDD to me lol

#

but much lighter

quick locust
#

still not as bad as eMMC

#

lul

opaque saddle
#

i have installed windows 10 on emmc

quick locust
#

its awful

opaque saddle
#

slow, really slow

#

i have a mini pc with emmc inside

#

32gb and cant even install windows with latest update

quick locust
#

lul

opaque saddle
#

and windows is trying to install updates on it and it got 1gb free space

#

nice work windows

quick locust
#

laptops with emmc and 2-4 GB ram is just shovelware rn

#

Can't believe they are still making so many

opaque saddle
#

cheap laptops

#

especially budget chrome book are equipped with emmc

quick locust
#

yeah

opaque saddle
#

like 1366x768 TN panel with 2-4gb ram, 32/64gb emmc

quick locust
#

I still see many laptops that cost the same as my 2013 laptop did back tjen

#

that are slower

opaque saddle
#

coz the lower end intel processor cost fair bit of money

quick locust
#

yeah but a few has 9125 too

opaque saddle
#

you know the atom series laptops were heavily subsidised by intel

#

so the chinese tablet manufactures made tons of 80-100USD 8" tablets for much cheaper price

quick locust
#

i know, they get from MS too

#

the windows laptops i mean

opaque saddle
#

coz they dont cost much money for win 10 home licenses

#

i think it is free or something as long as it is smaller than 10.1"

quick locust
#

theres a minecraft themed cheap laptop that cant run minecraft

opaque saddle
#

yeah i posted earlier

quick locust
#

some lightweight linux distro would be better for them

#

well chromeos is linux but lighter than it

weak girder
#

I hate chromeos

#

you cant do anything on it

molten coral
#

ChromeOS is perfect for elderly people and people who only use the internet and stuff like word

opaque saddle
#

think about netbook

weak girder
#

chromeOS is good for old people but even for internet stuff I think it sucks

opaque saddle
quick locust
#

they should just do manjaro xfce

#

it only uses like 600 mb idle

opaque saddle
#

i would rather to get my dad an ipad for internet browsing

molten coral
#

How does it suck for internet stuff?

opaque saddle
#

not chromebook lol

molten coral
weak girder
opaque saddle
#

then you cant really play games on it

weak girder
#

it takes forever to load anything

opaque saddle
#

people used to play games on their netbooks

weak girder
#

even google runs horribly on them

quick locust
#

mine didnt use computers except for a few times

opaque saddle
#

so our government paid for 1200 AUD for a laptop that cost 250AUD

molten coral
#

Ye cuz your school got some cheap chromebooks

opaque saddle
#

big ripoff

weak girder
#

they won't buy the expensive stuff

opaque saddle
#

then i decided to get myself an ipad and it works well

#

it still works 6.5 years later

#

and i gave up on school windows laptops

weak girder
#

like a medium range phone

molten coral
#

I don’t think you’re able to judge on something if you use the cheapest of the cheapest product.

opaque saddle
#

i think it cost like 738 AUD when i got it 6.5 years ago

weak girder
opaque saddle
#

so my mum got a demo ipad for 50 bucks lol

molten coral
#

Judging that chromeOS sucks

opaque saddle
#

12.9" first gen ipad pro

weak girder
molten coral
#

Ye because that is the purpose of the OS

#

It’s a super light OS that you can run on basically everything

weak girder
#

Linux should run the same

opaque saddle
#

at least if im a teacher, then i wouldnt want my students to play games during my lesson

weak girder
#

and Id use linux over chromeOS

weak girder
#

so it doesn't matter

opaque saddle
#

and windows 10 is getting bigger and bigger, it cost more for them to get a proper windows laptop or ipad

weak girder
#

they could use linux

opaque saddle
#

nah limitation is the key

#

it serves the purposes

weak girder
#

maybe but I don't think it changes much

#

everyone who plays games in class just play .io games

opaque saddle
#

at least not COD or CS lol

weak girder
#

playing CS at school is probably the worst idea lol

opaque saddle
#

coz i remember people back in the days used to play COD on their school laptops

weak girder
#

really?

opaque saddle
#

yes

weak girder
#

worst I seen is minecraft or valorant

opaque saddle
#

the OG COD

#

nah the worst i have seen is a grown uni student playing fortnite on the uni machines

#

it has a 8700 on it with iGPU

#

anyway we have gaming rooms at uni, so i can play PS or XBOX, or even windows games at the uni gaming room

weak girder
#

but thats not in class and at lunch

opaque saddle
#

oof the school desktop seems to be really nice at your school

weak girder
#

theyre not bad

opaque saddle
#

we used to have windows 98 or windows 2000 machines at primary and secondary schools

weak girder
#

theyre quite good for work

#

they even have an ssd

opaque saddle
#

lol

#

think about this tho

#

so using windows 98 and windows 2000 when you got vista or win 7 at home

#

this is bad, really bad lol

weak girder
#

one of my friends in france has school computer with windows 95 on them lol

opaque saddle
#

anyway my high school have swapped the imac to another up to date imac lol

#

so white imac to silver, 21.5" imac

weak girder
#

your school had an imac?

#

wow

opaque saddle
#

my high school have heaps of imac and macbooks

#

that was in 2012 tho

weak girder
#

big budget ig

molten coral
#

My high school didn’t had any cool stuff

#

I did everything on paper

weak girder
opaque saddle
#

so i was helping my high school teacher to fix 60 of their macbooks in 30mins

#

i got 20 bucks from the teacher

#

afterward

weak girder
#

did you ask them to restart? leo

opaque saddle
#

no it was a massive issue regards to the internet connections. so login via school network was no longer working

weak girder
#

oh

#

my school gives very good laptops to my teachers

opaque saddle
#

so i fixed that all of those by myself and helped others art students and teachers, so they can use the macbooks in class

#

i think my dad paid for his laptop lol, school laptop

weak girder
quick locust
#

my hs or uni doesnt have student pcs

#

its all own responsibility to bring own

opaque saddle
#

the problem is tho.. the school department got the students drones and new imac and macbooks after i left high school

#

and new DSLR camers as well

#

that was in 2016
