I would never want to go back to school after a bachelor

stark bobcat
#

wise choice

#

started studying maths semester before rona

#

man am I sad

gusty kiln
#

Maybe for business if i want to become a manager

ashen spindle
#

I mean it really depends on what field, how you can learn best and what you want to do after

stark bobcat
#

yeah I need to be away from home to be my best

gusty kiln
#

Libraries are nice if they are still open

stark bobcat
#

defo the problem is I have very bad habits

#

having a set schedule is much better for me

#

than making my own hours

gusty kiln
#

Heh, I've been enjoying my work from home status dogekek

#

Well hybrid

stark bobcat
#

I can def see that being good for people it just isn't conducive to me learning anything

ashen spindle
#

yeah I like it for working but for self study I think I owuld do much worse

gusty kiln
#

Also, didn't realize there were so many Germans here

stark bobcat
#

quite a few

ashen spindle
#

we've quickly taken over the server in silence a while ago

wtf that sounds too good to be true

Just a moonriver stuffed inside a keyboard

Shame it doesn't have a knob for volume

like teacher's college, further study, etc.

Mechanical engineering

#

still deciding over if I should drop a masters in favour of just...going to become a teacher

gusty kiln
#

Was my major

#

hot take
I found those in engineering programs were wonderfully smart
couldn't think

ashen spindle
#

I would love to be a teacher if I could teach stuff for 0-18 year olds, unfortunately I hate 0-18 year olds dogekek

crisp granite
#

I'd be fine teaching like...late high school history and other liberal arts stuff

#

if anything

#

no math, never math

stark bobcat
#

I'd love to teach maths but I hate most other humans

crisp granite
#

although honestly, I'd say not all kiddos are terrible
a vast majority of them are

#

hot take number 2
people tend to be a little more invested in their education if they're actually paying for it

ashen spindle
#

yes but in a class of 30 people with 90% of kids being shit I wont have fun dogekek

crisp granite
#

or

#

get the remaining 27 outside till they choose to be civil

ashen spindle
#

I would rather throw them out of the window on the 6th floor

crisp granite
#

...well shit

#

I understand but that's one hell of a way to lose a job and never get one again

stark bobcat
#

teaching in schools also prolly doesn't pay that well

ashen spindle
#

thats why I wont take such a job

crisp granite
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

stark bobcat
#

if I were to ever teach I'd have to offer extracurricular activities on my own time

#

which seems like a bad deal for me

ashen spindle
#

oh I would only do it as civil servant role so I basically am guaranteed to have certain pay brackets and will be secured if something happens etc.

stark bobcat
#

I mean like a maths club to help lower performing students and elevate the ones already doing well

ashen spindle
#

(by giving them drugs)

stark bobcat
#

not doing that would go against my principles and for the amount of compensation that amount of work isn't worth it

gusty kiln
#

Did a lot of this after class

stark bobcat
#

A bad teacher is so bad imo

#

it can kill any enjoyment someone has for a subject

crisp granite
# stark bobcat A bad teacher is so bad imo

hehe true
I had this one teacher
she was west german
absolutely ruined any interest I had in kanuckistani history by shitting over the whites as genocidal maniacs
and making us do art in class
instead of essays

#

:|

#

I mean
historically, the whites did do plenty of trolling
but the heart was in the right place

#

somewhat

stark bobcat
#

I used to always be among the best physics students in my year proceed to one year with a teacher who hated my ass

#

all enjoyment gone

#

always had great maths teachers and always enjoyed maths even when I wasn't in a good place

crisp granite
#

it is always that one teacher that can ruin everything

#

or give passion to a student in an otherwise uninteresting field to them

gusty kiln

my school had a really low number, think it was in the 50s

NVIDIA RTX 4080 tested in Geekbench Just hours after the first RTX 4080 scores made their way to Geekbench site, the same unreleased SKU has now been tested with 3DMark software.  Hardware leaker MEGAsizeGPU, who has an excellent track record recently, is now the first to share RTX 4080 3DMark scores from TimeSpy tests.

waiting until we actually see this in games

ashen spindle

yes this is just for devs and was also announced some days ago

#

evga shill got the production sample they made before they dropped nvidia, wow such video

shadow minnow
#

Indeed interesting video

#

Ok only one hdmi 2.1 I don’t care dogekek

ashen spindle
#

its not even a surprise, JPM and GN said they saw evga work on 40 series boards when they reported on it happening lol

shadow minnow
#

Yes but it’s still interesting to see how it was supposed to look imo

gusty kiln
#

always liked EVGA's shroud designs

#

damn 40 series looked way better than the 30 series in terms of design

shadow minnow
#

20 series was the best design

gusty kiln
#

900 series was the best looking for me

shadow minnow
#

Wasn’t into tech back during 900 series yet

astral haven
#

1080ti was also a beaut

#

No clue what they were going for with the 780ti tho lmao

gusty kiln
#

yeah that was really weird

#

black and copper always look nice together

ashen spindle
#

oh also turns out headphone virtualization is a bad thing apparently so I got used to bad sound quality for years lmfao

#

so I guess I'm going to keep the equalizer setting for a while and try to get used to that now lol

frozen ingot
#

clearly they were going for a classified look

astral haven
#

That one was really sad
Blower? Come on...

#

What was also sad was no custom 690 boards

gusty kiln
#

I really liked the look of the 690 reference

astral haven
#

Yea its fine

#

I have two of them lel

Gets some nutty firestrike scores

gusty kiln
#

did you have a 295x2?

astral haven
#

I didn't have any of this, I bought it later

#

I do have a 295, but it's not the Radeon one

#

Card with some of the strangest looking rear io ever

frozen ingot
astral haven
#

One of the most monsterous cards ever made

#

Actually insane

frozen ingot
#

looks like 8800GTS/GTX

gusty kiln
#

kek, forgot dual pcb cards

astral haven
frozen ingot
#

one of the cards do at least

#

or is it the 9800GX2 or whatever it was called

astral haven
#

9800gx2 yea

#

Same concept

#

But the 9800gx2 is 1dvi per pcb

#

GTX 295 put both dvi on the same pcb

#

So it's on the wrong side of the card

frozen ingot
#

the dye itself looked very 8800gtx, but then I recalled they never had a cut into the end of the pcb for the fan

astral haven
#

Power connectors were also wtf

astral haven
#

Here's the 9800gx2

frozen ingot
#

has that big dye cover with a juicy shroud around it though

astral haven
#

Yo wtf

#

Suppose I've never taken apart my 8800 GTX+...

frozen ingot
#

that's a GTS, tho GTX had it too

#

larger pcb tho

#

discord embed failing, lovely

astral haven
#

Anyways I also don't own any useable amd dual GPU cards despite owning fully functional 3870x2, 4870x2, 5970, 6990, and 7990
All of my Nvidia cards are fully useable besides the first gtx295 which I bought for parts and emitted the magic blue smoke when I powered it on 😦

#

Everything else stress tests fine, but the Radeon cards all have use ability bugs on desktop

ashen spindle
#

so skip desktop and just boot directly into game/app ez

frozen ingot
#

yeah what are you some kind of nvidyuh fanboi

astral haven
#

I've had amd appoligists say stuff like that

ashen spindle
astral haven
#

"Who cares that your desktop icons are flickering, it doesn't affect you in game"

#

Well my hud flickers to so digest that one for a second

frozen ingot
#

buy a cpu with integrated graphics and use that on the desktop

ashen spindle
#

so thats why there are only 2 cus in zen4, its for desktop use to make sure the gpu cant break there mm 5head amd builds

frozen ingot
#

haha nvidia fanbois paying $1400 for working grabbics card when they could be paying $800 for half working one instead

ashen spindle
#

is it really a DIY if you dont DIY your frames?

gusty kiln
#

GN actually took it apart

vagrant pagoda
#

boss

#

this is totally burning the bridge with nvidia for evga

ashen spindle
#

is it though?

#

its not like they see anything they shouldn't

#

nvidia can be petty so maybe but I dont quite see what the reason would be here

shadow minnow
#

I doubt nvidia would do that unless they want to just totally start ignoring media

astral haven
shadow minnow
#

There has been a single shipment of 4090 tufs in uk since they launched

#

For a single retailer

reef patrol
#

Sounds like the 3080 drama.

ashen spindle
#

nah thats just the case for that one sku, others have been in stock multiple times

reef patrol
#

It was so bad that one of the biggest online shops in Scandinavia had to do daily updates on the situation on forums like LTT to inform customers exactly how many of each card were coming in. It was insane.

shadow minnow
#

Asus tuf OCs are in stock but it’s just extra price

ashen spindle
#

we've already had multiple shops confirm they got a lot more than they got on 30 series release

#

like especially with these prices AiBs will make more of the OC models to get some more margins since they have even less than usual due to nvidia making a compelling product and selling chips+memory to them

Cortex X3 eh?

wheat plume
#

wait, so all users in the same area share the 1TB data cap??

cursive summit
#

What

#

Where tf did you get that information

#

Sounds like a single user cap

ashen spindle
#

yeah idk where that says anything about shared data

cursive summit
#

1TB cap, go overboard and you get slower internet

#

1TB is a lot anyways

wheat plume
#

1TB is a fuck ton though LOL

#

especially for areas where the only option is StarLink

ashen spindle

that depends

#

Meanwhile, in Ireland, ISPs think you are a robot if you use more than 70GB a month

#

.-.

#

Got an email from my previous ISP anytime I went over 70GB, informing me that business plan data usage dont apply to personal plans

#

They thought I was a fucking business for using more than 70GB

tropic nacelle
#

1tb is nothing, that's 3 call of duty updates these days!

stark bobcat
#

Some months I have well over 200gb

#

On my phone even

tropic nacelle
#

Yep can't believe introducing data caps on broadband, it's like US all over again.... Virgin never contacts me here when I've ended up using 10tb+ in a month

crimson wigeon

Them satellites only have a limited amount of bandwidth sadly

tropic nacelle

They had no problems beforehand though 🙂

reef patrol

Never buying Lenovo again.

crimson wigeon

I dunno I just heard Starlink speeds are just getting slower and slower

tropic nacelle

It's kinda a bait a switch feels like. Here is a no limit plan and you pay for the initial hardware.

Once you are invested now they say there is a cap

They finally got off their arse and sent me a replacement monitor - Which admittedly DOES fix my 144hz chroma subsampling issue... but also comes with two neat dead pixels.

Maybe the universe is telling you not to get a VA panel haha

stark bobcat
#

va bad

cursive summit
#

VA is great

#

Higher end VA that is

stark bobcat
#

why get va when other panel tech exists

cursive summit
#

Like what

#

QD-OLED?

#

Expensive as shit

stark bobcat
#

ips

cursive summit
#

Not as good as VA

stark bobcat
#

lol

cursive summit
#

Although I do not mind my current Nano-IPS display

stark bobcat
#

va is dogslow

cursive summit
#

Still I imagine a 700$ Samsung VA is superior

cursive summit
#

In what sense

stark bobcat
#

gtg

cursive summit
#

@astral haven You know more than most of us about these things, could you defend VA for me? dogekek

#

I imagine VA is inferior to QD-OLED and such, but it's still far better than TN and IPS

ashen spindle
#

anything not latest gen VA is trash

#

that black smearing is just unusable

cursive summit
#

I agree

ashen spindle
#

give me TN over it all day

cursive summit
#

Okay you can fuck off with that

#

I'd take smearing VA over TN

stark bobcat
astral haven
astral haven
ashen spindle
#

absolutely not lol

ashen spindle
#

I tried some va last year think it was a gigabyte ultrawide

cursive summit
#

QDOLED shouldn't smear?

ashen spindle
#

god that was atrocious smearing

astral haven
stark bobcat
#

27 isnt uw

ashen spindle
#

g34wqc iirc

cursive summit
#

Ahh that one

#

It's a bad panel though

#

Like most gigabytes anyways

tropic nacelle
astral haven
stark bobcat
#

at a lot of pricepoints ips>va

tropic nacelle
#

I'm looking at mine right now and not seeing it

ashen spindle
#

think I'm at 50% brightness and I dont see it

tropic nacelle
#

0% brightness on black with white text, seems fine

astral haven
#

yea it happens with grey on black most obviously

#

va doesnt have any issues with white to black either

ashen spindle
#

I played hades on the VA monitor and you could see the black lines on the ground tiles smear around when I was moving

tropic nacelle
#

I see no smearing, I know from phones and that you can see smearing but it's never manifested itself in a visible way to me on my OLED TV nor my QD OLED monitor

ashen spindle
#

nothing like that on the oled

astral haven
#

youu may be thinking of 3 gen old va

tropic nacelle
#

Only Samsung's latest on the g7+ is actually fast VA to hide smearing for the most part

astral haven
#

or non samsung va (va is a samsung panel tech, so every non samsung monitor is a minimum of a gen behind)

stark bobcat
#

so you are saying most people who buy va are buying trash

ashen spindle
#

some samsungs still use old gen va

astral haven
tropic nacelle
stark bobcat
#

gaming obv

tropic nacelle
astral haven
#

the other thing about va is it has a minimum of 2x the contrast of a tn or ips
if you nerf a va to ips/tn levels of contrast its faster, but the thing is, humans are faaaaaaaaaar better at seeing contrast than 10% to 1% transitions

tropic nacelle
#

For gaming I wouldn't touch another VA panel unless it was on Samsung's topish lines as the rest are not good for motion.

astral haven
astral haven
#

but thats only for esports

#

for literally anything where you care about picture quality, va is superior

tropic nacelle
astral haven
#

literally better for reading text

astral haven
gusty kiln
#

I do miss the contrast on my old lg va

stark bobcat
#

I can read text just fine on anything

tropic nacelle
astral haven
astral haven
tropic nacelle
#

You can read text fine on IPS?

astral haven
#

its always possible to make it visible

stark bobcat
gusty kiln
#

That's also an edge case

astral haven
astral haven
#

im also exaggerating to make a point

tropic nacelle
gusty kiln
#

Sounds like a bad job instead of the monitor

astral haven
#

I regularly do 9 straight hours of staring at monitors, and its signficantly less eyestrain at the end of the day when im at home than at work even tho i have my monitors at home set brighter with a dimmer background

gusty kiln
#

I just destroy picture quality at work and just a blue light filter

tropic nacelle
astral haven
tropic nacelle
gusty kiln
#

I guess another factor is the ambient lighting

astral haven
astral haven
gusty kiln
#

How's the lighting at your job?

astral haven
#

ill admit not fantastic, however its at least 28khz and its near natural too

gusty kiln
#

Probably enough for you to notice the difference in the contrast

astral haven
#

wdym?

gusty kiln
#

Well not contrast, but the resulting eyestrain

stark bobcat
#

(1)QD display and LCD will affect the physiological parameters of human eye during continuous visual task, and can be quantified by changes in human physiological parameters; (2)The effect of QD display on human physiological parameters is significantly smaller than LCD; (3)The quantum dot display performs better than the liquid crystal display in visual health comfort.

Interesting

#

Didn't know qd had that slight benefit

stark bobcat
#

this is the only relevant scholarly thing I could find

#

this is not very well studied

#

shame

astral haven
#

im confident its very well studied, but behind closed doors for a competitive advantage

stark bobcat
#

I mean yeah

#

but that doesn't help me looking for studies

tropic nacelle
#

I mean if they have proof X is better than Y they would be using that in marketing at any point:)

gusty kiln
#

What was that technology that used two layers to achieve great contrast?

tropic nacelle
#

significant proof*

astral haven
astral haven
stark bobcat
#

and I even had to log in with my university shit to even get access to the study

#

this is some real bullcrap

tropic nacelle
gusty kiln
astral haven
tropic nacelle
astral haven
#

yup
you can get better than oled contrast (practically in a lit room)

gusty kiln
#

That tv could do 25,000 : 1

astral haven
#

yup, and the good stuff can do 45k:1 in an actually lit room

#

the big advantage of dllcd is the massive amount of light that is absorbed by the panel also prevents back layer reflections like you get on oled

tropic nacelle
#

I mean I don't think they beat the contrast however they have no peak brightness limit which is one of the main parts for HDR mastering and they have no ABL (mostly)

astral haven
tropic nacelle
#

That's wrong, they have a brightness limit they have much higher limit than OLED typo sorry

astral haven
#

darkroom contrast no obviously oled is better

stark bobcat
#

@astral haven pc has been freezing lately main screen goes black secondary still displays last image any ideas? I think my 10yo power supply might need replacing

tropic nacelle
#

Yeah practically all mastering is done in a dark room

astral haven
#

alot of color correction can be done in dark rooms but frequently its done with well controlled ambient light

tropic nacelle
stark bobcat
#

nah just freezes doing literally nothing

#

haven't been gaming much recently too much uni stuff

#

all that I can really say is test with different psu

I would also check that, your ram clock might be unstable.

Who is the goto for under 100 nowadays for psu?

stark bobcat

took it down from 3600 16 18 something something to 17 18 should be able to handle it regardless since it's b die

ashen spindle
tropic nacelle
stark bobcat
#

rated at like 4400 19

tropic nacelle
#

100 in what currency?

gusty kiln
#

Usd

ashen spindle
#

usually I look at seasonics focus lineup or similar ones from them

gusty kiln
#

I spent like 170 on my rmx750 at the time

ashen spindle
#

idk what the prices are for that over there

stark bobcat
#

I might just yoink the rm850x from my other pc and put some random shit in there

tropic nacelle
#

Seasonic was always the best, Corsair I'm not sure what they use these days.

Don't get an EVGA unless you look at reviews as they went to shit after the g3

stark bobcat
#

shame for all the cable management

gusty kiln

Think corsair got better after they hired Johnny guru

well I won't be able to do that in the next 2 weeks but I have a working laptop so that is fine

I sure as hell won't trust llt lab for the first couple years

tropic nacelle
stark bobcat

if it does it again I'll try it

#

also gonna be on the look out for sales on good psus

#

can't really afford to spend like 150+€ on one rn

#

oh look it's a fire hazzard

stark bobcat
#

I'm hoping I can snag a platinum rated one somehow

#

idk if there are any in that pricerange tho

ashen spindle
#

think they start at like 150 nowadays

tropic nacelle
# stark bobcat oh look it's a fire hazzard

Chieftec still going?? I had one of their cases that came with a PSU back in the day and that was the only power supply that killed a part of my pc when it died :(.

Lost a Samsung drive to that shit show

stark bobcat

maybe I'll get a be quiet psu this time

#

they seem to be ubiquitous in germany

frozen ingot

these things were a certified hood classic

#

back in the early 00s

sharp badger
#

Under 100€ is quite hard 😅

#

And if one would want a modular PSU

ashen spindle
#

nlg would be nice to see if someone makes a comparison how much you actually save from a gold vs platinum rated psu by tracking it over time the usage and how much more/less it would've been with another

stark bobcat
#

Not looking und 100€ unless there's a deal

ashen spindle
#

like does platinum pay for itself afer 5 years at x price per kwh etc.

astral haven
hardy idol
#

Banana bread

stark bobcat
#

There are calculators for that I think

ashen spindle
#

yeah I mean comparing 850w gold vs 850w platinum

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

yeah but I would like some hands on testing to make sure its not just a theorethical result

hardy idol
#

Go after efficiency curves
Not rating etc

ashen spindle
#

well yeah, some rough comparison test would still be nice

hardy idol
#

Efficiency curves 🫶🏼

ashen spindle
#

well thats basically what the 80+ ratings are

hardy idol
#

Nah

#

Not really

astral haven
hardy idol
#

Checking the actual curve is way better

tropic nacelle
astral haven
#

geez thats a while ago

#

liquid caps lel

tropic nacelle
#

Yeah that's why I thought chieftec was gone haha

stark bobcat
#

I think I'll just buy this

ashen spindle
#

like that one exists in gold and platinum, would ne neat to have a comparison from someone just using the pc for daily work since as an example for the consumption

#

also heh thats the one I have too I think

stark bobcat
#

lmfao

astral haven
#

and yea the efficiency curves absolutely exist, you just need to figure out your power usage and plug it in

stark bobcat
#

now I just gotta be careful not to leave any cables in there by accident

#

I think 116 is a decent price for that psu

#

espc since the euro is dying

ashen spindle
#

yes I just dont have accurate power measuring so I simply want someone do make an accurate test as an example, it's not that complicated why I want more than just the theorethical difference

#

yeah 116 seems quite cheap for that

stark bobcat
#

makes sense considering transients on gpus nowadays

sharp badger
#

Bought an Asus Rog Strix 1000W psu for 180€ in April 😅

ashen spindle
#

how the hell does hwinfo tell me my wall powerdraw

astral haven
stark bobcat
#

u know that varies

ashen spindle
#

yes that doesnt tell me the wallpowerdarw and last I checked my psu does not tell me that

astral haven
#

yea its super rare

ashen spindle
#

the whole deal about efficiency curves is that it's not a 1:1 of what the pc uses lol

astral haven
#

screenshot of what section its under?

stark bobcat
#

yeah

#

u see the problem

#

?????

ashen spindle
#

if I just want some average I could just take a 2% difference and make some estimate

#

and how do I get wallpowerdraw?

#

since my psu could be better or worse or degraded or w/e

stark bobcat
#

man I'm kinda sad if it's really the psu causing the problems

#

that thing has been a trooper

#

ever since the 2500k

astral haven
gusty kiln
#

10 years quite a while

astral haven
#

psus 10 years ago were alot worse imo

ashen spindle
#

all I said is I wish there was some accurate data of someone testing it, I don't have the equipment so I dont care about getting some estimates, it's not a 50% difference either way so without accurate testing no real point imo

stark bobcat
#

hx850

astral haven
#

its called the efficiency curves

stark bobcat

actual beast for sticking around this long

Is he really reliable?

idk what the obsession is with hardware u can't even buy yet

chill your nuts

astral haven

this is speculation based on amds and nvidias numbers
emphasis on speculation

ashen spindle
#

him finding stuff that doesnt end up being the reason something breaks isnt a "questionable track record"

#

it's labelled as an estimation

tropic nacelle
# cursive summit Is he really reliable?

No.
He can't be called reliable but he does have some good finds occasionally but he makes way too fast conclusions and backtracks after being wrong.

Wouldn't take too much of what he says, add lots of salt.

ashen spindle
#

what he got about the cables wasnt wrong just seems like he got a cable that wasn't the most used one and the conclusion was off but doesnt change the data that you could see for yourself

tropic nacelle

Probably also doesn't help with autotranslate as it might lose a lot of tone for what he really meant.

Don't know if this has been linked but interesting to look at tear-downs 🤓

Sponsor: Thermaltake Core P3 Pro on Amazon https://geni.us/6Q6M
We're tearing down the last video card EVGA ever made - the RTX 4090 FTW3 by EVGA on NVIDIA's Ada GPU architecture. The company last told us that it had no plans to ever make another video card -- that could change, we'll see -- and if it maintains that commitment, this would be its...

stark bobcat
#

it has been I'm pretty sure

#

but it happens

sharp badger
#

Kinda liked the placement of the power delivery to the card

#

Would've been kinda clean with the CableMod 90 degree cables

tropic nacelle
#

It will be interesting to see the outcome of this 12 pin melting issue.

There have been a significant enough reports now across many boards, adapters and direct 12pins all melting.

Maybe it's the card at fault or the spec itself really is just inherently not safe enough for general use.

astral haven
#

its probably just not being seated properly

sharp badger
#

Yeah will be interesting.

astral haven
#

the connector was poorly designed such that people can click them in without being seated, or its too high force to seat it that people arent clicking them in

sharp badger
#

But it's a lot of wattage delivered through thin wires

astral haven
#

thats not the problem

sharp badger
#

Ah so the seating of the cable is the problem?

astral haven
#

the wires of the 12 pin can handle something like 2kw easily at 12v

#

the problem is the contact between the plug and socket

tropic nacelle
#

Well it's part of the problem if it doesn't seat properly as its meaning fewer wires than optimal are taking the load.

The 8pin setup is designed for way more than its rated for for safety. This margin was cut significantly for the 12pin and maybe they have gone too far

astral haven
#

8 pins were not designed for that much power at all, and they also melted

#

i think people forget that 8 pins melt

#

the difference however is that the 12 pin doesnt have the luxury of having backup connectors if the contact is poor

#

note how we didnt have this issue on the 3090ti which on average uses more power?

#

thats because the 3090ti had separate power balancing for each 1/3 of the power connector

tropic nacelle
#

Yes, less connections and more load over the connected party.

8pin had more redundancy here which was my point.

astral haven
#

if 1/3 of the connector has bad contact, the gpu simply draws less power

astral haven
#

1 8 pin is 3 live 3 ground

#

2 is 6 live 6 ground

#

2 8 pin = 1 12 pin

tropic nacelle
#

But 16 pins Vs 12 🙂

astral haven
#

remember this is pcie 8 pin not eps

#

-_-

tropic nacelle
#

I know the power pins are not all of them but it's less in one block

astral haven
#

what

#

16 pin = 12 pin

tropic nacelle
#

In terms of power wires? Yes
In terms of connecting block it's 4 less and in 1 single block with a single point of failure

astral haven
#

no

tropic nacelle
#

Which makes it more open to human error

astral haven
#

theres no single point of failure still

tropic nacelle
#

The one plug fails though? If the plug isn't fully seated it could make a poor connection.

Having a big connector with a big card meaning even bigger cable bends will put more stress on the connector.

Whereas having two separate smaller blocks with actually 4 more locating pins can mean less likely being pulled out or compromised connection.

astral haven
astral haven
tropic nacelle
#

This is a bad design really as this is engineering 101 for making sure bad humans cannot break it as a connector.

#

I guess the problem is there have been many saying theirs has melted but was fully seated so this could be completely wrong angle anyway

astral haven
#

the burnt pcie 8 pins obviously wouldnt have burned if they had perfect contact either...

#

what appears to be happening is nvidia is power monitoring the 12 pin as an aggregate, so it is evenly load balancing between different pins instead of limiting each part of the connector's power draw

ashen spindle
#

yeah, on their previous iteration on the 30 seires they had it be balanced as separate connectors, now it see it as just one connector

astral haven
#

yup

tropic nacelle
#

What about ones using the 12pin directly via modern PSU? I've seen a few of these now, not even using an adapter and it fails

astral haven
#

well sorta

#

what happens is lets say the rightmost 2 power cables are having poor contact, and the middle 4 are having mediocre contact
the resistance goes up, so the power instead travels through the 2 wires with good connection

#

the card sees ok power draw across the entire connector so its like 🤷

#

on the 30 series, it would have seen oh this part of the connector is drawing too much power, lets limit it

thick elk
#

Personally I think the outcome of the 12pin cable issue would be tighter manufacturing tolerances, possibly by the connector disappearing into obscurity / a revised variant coming to market with a bit more headroom.
To me it seems it all just boils down to a spec that just does not leave a lot of room to user / manufacturer error.

astral haven
#

i hope they just come up with a connector variant that pivots 180 degrees
but what would be more awesome is a firmware update that tells you if the connection is good

ashen spindle
#

first we need to find out what exactly causes it before we know how it can be fixed

astral haven
#

the fe has 3 shunts

#

actually come to think of it
have there been any burnt fes?

ashen spindle
#

so far we had FE, gigabyte, asus, zotac on top of my head

#

with varying issues

astral haven
#

you got a pic of the burnt fe?

ashen spindle
#

I can see if I find it in a bit

astral haven
#

yea all i can find are aib models tho using the fe adapter

thick elk
#

There was also at least one with a cable direcly from the psu burning

astral haven
#

again tho

#

did it happen to the fe?

ashen spindle
#

hm I think I might've thought it was FE based on the poster saying it was an FE adapter

astral haven
#

interesting 🤔

#

did nvidia mess up the reference card but not the fe?
very possible...

#

tyvm for the sauce quin

thick elk
#

I don't know the sales figures to put it into context

ashen spindle
#

could be worth taking a look at the pcb pictures from TPU and see if there is a difference for FE and those listed cards

astral haven
#

theres huge differences

ashen spindle
#

in the 12pin area I mean

astral haven
#

yes thats what im talking about

ashen spindle
#

also even if that would be the difference, surely that's still a flaw of the design since bad protection or so on any 8 pin doesnt melt it

ashen spindle
#

oh is nobody using the V shape pcb? I thought with some of the overhead coolers they would use that for some AiB models

astral haven
#

i dont see any of them

#

but im only checking techpowerup cause they have pcb pics

ashen spindle
#

yeah same

astral haven
#

fe in the middle
asus and msi on either side

#

the partner cards all seem to have that arrangement of shunts that seem tied together right below the 12 pin

#

the fe shunts seem separate

ashen spindle
#

yeah seems to be the same for all AiB just moved to different spots

#

with a third one somewhere close

astral haven
#

3rd is a different value

#

the two tied together say 002 and the 3rd is 005 on both partner cards

ashen spindle
#

What is important to note here though is that not all connectors will fit this way. Since this recommendation was made by Johnguru, some users claim that their connector simply do not go all the way as recommended. Which raises a question whether the connector specs are wrong, or the power adapter is to blame.
now I wonder maybe its not about the power handling on the FE but maybe nvidia is just using a different batch/supplier for the 12pin ports on their cards and the others have worse tolerances lol @astral haven

look fam
its barely over a billion bucks to rent access to ibms system on the per second plan for 16k qbits

they wouldnt make it more expensive to buy than to rent it per second

who is going to buy a 16kqubit system other then dod?

Still if you make a completely new gpu architecture, it does make some sense to be a bit more forward looking in terms of platform features.

The process of a lot of these is rather crude but from personal experience in a company downsizing a lot after a partial bankruptcy, the smaller team that was left worked a lot more efficient. Simply because if you have to drop things, it will be the once with the least impact. Granted, not without side effects.

no need to boycott his content is horrid enough that it'll rarely be posted and when it is I sure as hell ain't clicking on it

#

nah what you share directly reflects on you

#

which is why I shared an adoredtv video recently

#

well within server rules I'd say but in a way that would also reflect on you

cursive summit
stark bobcat
#

would reflect u directly out of the server in fact

NNN is officially over

stark bobcat
#

november basically just started

cursive summit
#

Which wasn't even by jayztwocents

#

I guess jay is the best when he is not recording

frozen ingot
#

its basically a reaction to a jayz video

#

or rather man slowly losing his sanity watching a jayz video

vagrant pagoda
frozen ingot
#

I mean, most of the time he's not wrong

#

as someone who's worked a lot with electronics/soldering, it really is a painful video to watch though havo

stark bobcat
#

Hmm last video after homework before bed it is

cursive summit
#

Still didn't start

stark bobcat
#

Already did the homework

#

Hence

#

After

#

Bit last minute tho since it's due tomorrow

#

Also luis is wrong about what the liquid metal is used for I think

#

Or maybe I missed something

astral haven
#

pretty sure rossman got it near enough to correct

astral haven
#

as long as you dont consider them an authority on the causes for anything happening you are all good

stark bobcat
#

Hmm I didn't know they used liquid metal in that way, if that's the case it's even more stupid than I thought

astral haven
#

tho heres the totality of my jayz watch history
evga 4090 and when i was researching which 3090 to buy

stark bobcat
#

I've only ever seen buildzoid do voltmods and he never does that

astral haven
#

did rossmann say it was a volt mod?

#

i havent watched the vid since it was released and I cant watch it now

stark bobcat
#

Yes

astral haven
#

oh thats wrong

#

actually no

stark bobcat
#

He said it's used to trick current sensing or sum shit

astral haven
#

an ee would call it a volt mod

astral haven
#

voltmodding is literally changing the voltage

stark bobcat
#

Still is that what they use liquid metal for

#

I thought it was cooling only

astral haven
#

they used to use them in place of buying extra shunts for purposes of shunt modding

stark bobcat
#

Ewwwwww

#

Bruh

astral haven
#

🤷 it works and is far more tuneable than actual shunts

#

its terrible for the card but it does in fact work

stark bobcat
#

Yeah I'm not disputing the working part

astral haven
#

but yea it definetly isnt volt modding

#

if rossmann said that he would be wrong

stark bobcat
#

Sorry was imprecise in my terminology

#

Not an overclocker 🤷‍♂️

astral haven
#

what bz does is volt modding

stark bobcat
#

Hardmods are kinda dope when the person has some idea of what they are doing

astral haven
#

oooh
dsc and vrr strings for steamvr

ashen spindle
#

ohhh

#

astral haven
#

#

if you are going to spend actual money on it instead of stuff you have laying around, get the actual shunts lmao

Hi I’m looking to order a wooting 60 HE, has anyone had experience with this on call of duty? Will I still benefit from the actuation reset? I’ve heard that you can’t use analog keyboards on cod as it recognises two different inputs or is the analog mode separate to the actuation reset benefit ? Thanks

You don't want a massive fan on your goggles?

Might be good with AC control while gaming

I wish the Switch Pro Controller triggers were analog, cause other than that, I prefer it over any other controller I have used so far

#

its feels so much nicer than the Xbox One controller I have also
