600 is sorta medium range

gusty kiln
#

easily 2K on a top end chair

marsh glade
#

Herman Millers for everyone blobhyperthinkfast

frozen ingot
#

like actually good durable chairs cost twice that or more

fair gull
#

my office chair in my german apartment is like 20+ yrs old

vagrant pagoda
#

i dont know anyone with a chair that cost that much lol

fair gull
#

still works great except a bit of squeak when leaning and 1 arm adjustment being loose

gusty kiln

#

proper office chairs be €800-1200 ez

sharp badger
#

Was thinking of buying that one

#

But there's always something once one start looking at reviews

#

As with everything lol

gusty kiln
#

I mean, lots of these high end chair have great return policies

#

can try em out until one fits

sharp badger
#

Yeah

fickle ore
#

Nightingale 6200D I would buy

#

But I can't find in EU

#

Steelcase/HM are for short ppl

gusty kiln
fickle ore
#

lmk if u find eu shopp

fickle ore
#

so works with longer legs

gusty kiln
#

you mean the actual seat?

#

not just being able to move it

fickle ore
#

Seat depth at maximal position

#

idk if it's movable on Nightingale

gusty kiln
#

ah

fickle ore
#

HM Aeron C/Embody, Steelcase Leap v1/v2 at maximum position is 18.5"

#

this is me basically on any HM

gusty kiln
#

kek

#

how tall?

fickle ore
#

I'm not even tall. 183 cm. Just long limbed fella

gusty kiln
#

I'm 6' even so much chairs at max fits me

fickle ore
gusty kiln
#

the Vera clone I got fits nicely so far

fickle ore
#

Link

gusty kiln
#

back is so nice, basically a hammock

#

I guess your waist to knee length is longer than most

fickle ore
#

Ye looks nice but depth 18" reeeee

fickle ore
gusty kiln
#

gaming chairs also have pretty deep seats

#

most are near 20"

fickle ore
#

Yeah I may need to sell off my HM Mirra and buy a racing chair, unless I can find nightingale in EU

#

Mirra is even worse than Aeron C. I got so bad advice 10 yrs ago

gusty kiln
#

the secret lab one is like the only one people who are serious about chairs recommends

fickle ore
#

That a brand?

gusty kiln
#

secretlabs

#

it's still a gaming chair

#

but the least bad

ashen spindle
#

I kinda dont believe it since secret labs started the same as all the others and just rebranded dxracer's models

fickle ore
#

Yeah looks fine, and size seems correct

tropic nacelle
#

Secret labs is not good, those "gaming" chairs are just.... Like your "gaming" headphones

ashen spindle
#

and that still seems like the same base model slightly changed

fickle ore
#

I wouldn't label chairs like that

#

Seat depth is much more important than anything else, maybe back excluded

tropic nacelle
#

Get a refurbished steelcase leap v2 or something

fickle ore
#

Leap v2 sucks ass

#

made for midgets

gusty kiln
#

yeah the leap is not for everyone

tropic nacelle
#

Lumbar support is important, these gaming chairs have none or a "pillow"

gusty kiln
#

the secretlab one actually have lumbar

fickle ore
#

I'd get this secretlabs over leap v2 any day

tropic nacelle
#

Crazy!

#

But it's important that not every seat will be good for you, we are all different heights so it's good to try a range of chairs out.

I've got leap v2 at the office and an HM aeron at home which I find excellent.

Tried out the older secret labs as my friend bought one and I did not like it personally, it felt very overpriced for what it was.

gusty kiln
#

he's focusing on seat depth and almost all the brands top out at 18-18.5

fickle ore
#

@gusty kiln Actually not bad. 499€ free shipping from Poland

#

But idk 500€ for gaming chair. Add 500€ for the Nightingale.

ashen spindle
#

yeah but even just looking at seat depth, I still don't think secret lab do more than other gaming chair brands and those are all prone to break or tear way too soon for their price

#

I'd be happy to see them being a lot better and having their own factorys or so now

fickle ore
#

Yeah probs. Just not aware of other gaming chairs. Maybe they have 20+" seats too

#
ashen spindle
#

that idk

gusty kiln
#

@fickle ore what about Neutral Posture?

#

ignore the actual site

wheat plume
#

anyone here good at understanding Windows log files???

gusty kiln
#

don't think they ship to EU

#

20-22" seat depth

fickle ore
#

Yeah specwise looks good

#

Just quite expensive and reminds me of the torture chair back at work lol

gusty kiln
shadow minnow
#

Gaming chairs tend to be horrible

#

Bad for your back

#

And sold for 10 times the purchase cost

#

GN made a great video on them

empty wren
crimson wigeon
#

That's just the price you gotta pay if you want to level up your pro gaming

ashen spindle
#

yeah but also if its a model that isnt just a rebrand it might be better

vagrant pagoda
#

So now that there is nvme hard drives, how long before someone trys one with directstore

ashen spindle

At least on the upside the room will smell nice

On the downside of something catches fire well😵‍💫

Gaming chairs use race car designs

Race cars seats are not meant for comfort but for helping the driver maintain his position while whipping around at fast speeds

I'd rather the leather get sweaty, than the fabric soak it up permanently personally 😄

You obviously haven't sat in my office during summer. 😄

#

No AC here. Key difference.

young niche
#

I think it's a good investment even if you live in non air con environment.
A gaming chair with pure PU leather contains and traps heat too much for my liking.

pale sigil
#

It's a terrible investment atm

#

One of the worst you can probably make in Europe

cursive summit
#

A good investment is an AC cooler

reef patrol
#

Alas - Welcome to the world of renting 😄

cursive summit
#

Depends on the style, the typical ones that you hang are pretty expensive

#

There are solid mobile ones though

reef patrol
#

I can't just leave my window open and taped up all summer though.

cursive summit
#

I'd rather have an AC cooler than die during the summer

pale sigil
#

It's fine, we only melt a little during 35-40c heat

ashen spindle
reef patrol
#

My landlord would kill me for doing that 😛

fickle ore
#

Air Heat Pumps are only like 1.5-2k

reef patrol
#

And/or cats

ashen spindle
#

why would the landlord care?

reef patrol
#

Because this is Denmark 😛

#

Think HOA

ashen spindle
#

ok but why exactly

cursive summit
#

HOA 🤢

reef patrol
#

Aaaaaanyway - AC not an option here. End of debate 😄

cursive summit
#

Yeah I don't get why that'd be an issue

#

But Mansen knows best

#

What about a portable cooler or something like that?

#

They don't need venting

reef patrol
#

Swamp coolers only work in dry climates.

fickle ore
#

Usually landlords/the company who owns the flats dont want you to drill a hole and install AC/heat pumps, but our legislation atleast has changed so that you're now allowed to install AC/HP, atleast if you own the place but landlords can always so no 😄

cursive summit
#

You don't drill anything to install the portable AC

ashen spindle
#

yeah the point of a portable thing is that you leave literally no marks anywhere

cursive summit
#

And it's easy to remove if needed

#

It's a pretty good no compromise (other than space) solution to cooling

ashen spindle
#

yeah thats why I'm curious why it's not a choice for mansen

reef patrol
#

Oh ffs xD

ashen spindle
#

I believe him since he lives there, just curious how that is legal

cursive summit
#

They mentioned HOA, so as far as I'm getting if they see the isolation sleeve they will flip their butts off

#

Those bastards flip on anything they don't like

reef patrol
#
  1. I can't drill.
  2. I can't cover my window with something like an AC. Because 1 HOA style nitpicky landlords, and 2, I'd constantly have police coming by because I am OBVIOUSLY growing weed with an exhaust like that 😛
  3. I have cats. Having something stand in my room with a big tube to an open window is a recipe for it breaking and cats escaping.
cursive summit
#

I only see point 2 somewhat valid

reef patrol
#

👌

cursive summit
#

And even then the best answer is "fuck off neighbors it's none of your business"

reef patrol
#

Yeah...renting doesn't work like that here. I'd like to not fucking get evicted 😛

ashen spindle
#

I know people who put a panel in the opened window to stop cats from being able to break it and it's not drilled it or anything

reef patrol
#

(Or lose my cats)

ashen spindle
#

and idk if police would still come if it's as visible as that is but that's not my call

reef patrol
#

Y'all go back to debating PU leather vs. Fabric chairs. I'm out 😄

ashen spindle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯ just trying to help

cursive summit
#

Yeah I'd just take that risk and not suffer in the summer, but Mansen knows best

reef patrol
cursive summit
#

Just shows that renting is a bane dogekek

#

You never asked us not to help either

fair gull
#

although my cats were stolen beforehand

ashen spindle
#

I mean renting laws are also different since different country

cursive summit
#

Well in HerrMansen's case it's apparently bad which is a pity

reef patrol
#

I'll take "Don't fucking put shit in the window frames, please" over that any day 😄

cursive summit
#

House ownership is an investment, as well

#

Renting money disappears

reef patrol
#

Here it's like NFTs.

fair gull
#

mansen just get used to the heat and cold easy fix

fair gull
reef patrol
fair gull
#

and you can copy them?

#

why dont you download a house

cursive summit
#

This conversation just reminds me of communism in the 1980s

#

You turn to working age and you get a house for free

reef patrol
# fair gull so they have no value but everyone values them?

People think they have value, until you actually try and sell them. And get stuck with paying for two homes for 4-5 years and take a huge loss on the sale and overpay on the buy.

Rent money might disappear, but here our public housing is very strong. non-profit ownership means they can't charge more for rent than actual expenses, which have to be greenlit by renters yearly.

cursive summit
#

Can we do a petition for Wooting to fund Mansen's private housing and in turn get Mansen to work for them for 10 years? dogekek

What is wave32 and 64

reef patrol
#

Is this some DOS shit? Brings me back

cursive summit
#

"The RDNA architecture is natively designed for a new narrower wavefront with 32 work-items, intuitively called wave32, that is optimized for efficient compute. Wave32 offers several critical advantages for compute and complements the existing graphics-focused wave64 mode."

#

This doesn't really explain what it is

reef patrol
ashen spindle
#

google exists you know, can't expect every explanation to go back top basic word definitions

reef patrol
#

Silly Quin. Assuming anyone here googles. Especially with the prevalence of Lanaposting 😄

cursive summit
#

"New narrower wavefront with 32 work-items, intuitively called wave32"

#

Like I did google but the results are shallow

ashen spindle
#

so look up what a wavefront is

cursive summit
#

Which one? dogekek

ashen spindle
#

ffs its not hard to just see if adding AMD or RDNA or GPU to the search comes up with something

cursive summit
#

I found this

ashen spindle
#

yes there are dozen other options that all say it too, not just this one

cursive summit
#

Searches I found are for some reason personalized and regional

#

So sometimes I just can't find the correct results unless I go to incognito and start with a blank slate

#

Personalization isn't always a good thing

ashen spindle
#

if you search for wavefront AMD or wavefront gpu or wavefront rdna none of that shows it?

frozen ingot
cursive summit
#

I get the europa link where I found the spreadsheet and a bunch of wikipedia and AMD community links

frozen ingot
#

also fuck you discord for not autoscrolling the channel

cursive summit
#

Ohh it was in page 3

ashen spindle
#

ok again its not about that site there are dozens of examples that explain it

cursive summit
#

Thanks Erasmus

cursive summit
#

The competition in entry level IEMs is ridiculous

#

There's a new "best thing" every month

#

How cheap are those IEM drivers

#

If they can afford to stuff pretty okay drivers into a 20$ product

#

And why am I paying 300$ for overear headphones dogekek

#

Such is the market

#

Moondrop Venus look interesting, I want to hear some comparisons from reputable reviewers

#

I heard decent comparisons with hifiman's

#

It's priced for twice the price of a Sundara though

#

They are not though

#

I have amazing overears that to me sound endgame for 100$

pale sigil
#

Love me K612 pros

cursive summit
cursive summit
#

WHAT IS THAT

#

Tbf

#

I like stage and neutral

#

I don't have a clue what warmth or smooth is

#

Low bass is nice, my AKG's have very little bass and I find it really enjoyable

#

Bass extension like, wtf?

#

Also

#

What

#

If you aren't comfortable wearing your audio equipment then wtf is the point

#

I tend to agree with your top tier and maybe half of the second tier

#

Anyways you kind of sold me on the Etymotics, I will look into those at some point

#

I heard really good things from peeps like Crin

#

And they near match my AKG's sound signature

fickle ore
#

Will look into the next gen etymotics maybe aswell

cursive summit
#

No

fickle ore
#

yea but old

cursive summit
#

I'll take a look into ER2SE if I can find them anywhere for affordable prices

#

Tbf if the driver can't cope with that graph and it doesn't sound good, that's a fair assessment

#

I heard some shit ass drivers in Razers and Steelseries and such

#

It's not just the graph, the technicalities are important

#

How not shit the driver is dogekek

#

Literally what that means?

#

That is pretty shit

#

I trust Crin quite a bit, his picks are pretty damn good and explanations as to why something is good are trustable as well

#

I got AKG's cause of Crin's 3 star rating and I am amazed at how good these are

#

Ety's I think are also 3 star so I'll get them to complement my AKG's neutral tuning

crimson wigeon
#

Why not those Raycon EVERYDAY EARBUDS

#

All the sellouts shill those so they must be good!

fickle ore
#

@latent mural ofc there are things to improve are u telling me in 100 years shit wont sound even a little bit better?

frozen ingot
#

headphones/speakers have improved an insane amount in the last 30 years

#

well no, you basically couldn't make small speakers with half decent bass response 2-3 decades ago for instance

#

now you can, better understanding of materials and manufacturing

fickle ore
#

Says you in 2022, but can't look into future!

#

U dont know how much it could improve 😄

#

U dont have the power of hindsight

#

Oh boy

#

how many times have people been wrong in history

#

Yeah maybe freq curve won't be everything

#

Maybe they can wire up ur brains so we can bypass ears and hearing loss

#

:3

ashen spindle
#

I'd just be happy if we could get people on internet calls to have better mic quality instead of sound that sounds like 30 year old tech

fickle ore
#

Oh god yep

#

There may be others that are not visible atm

#

You say that but then focus on the µs of peripheral/PC latency

#

Which is?

#

Eww

#

I hate bass

#

I guess.

#

TBH, binaural audio or rather.. some kind of spanning audio recordings would be POG

#

Like

#

you're standing on the stage and the artist is moving around you

#

That too will be nice

#

But ya, Binaural is a thing but what about 'on the stage' recordings?

#

That thing wont open

#

Hmm lol yeah maybe

#

I have a ton of SACD and what ever they can blu-ray audio, that are in 5.1 or 7.1 already

#

What are you cooling

crisp granite
#

the ones that do almost 110 CFM

gusty kiln
crisp granite
#

this is me making a mad cursed watercooling setup in a PC case meant exclusively for air cooling

ashen spindle
#

are you putting the next intel workstation cpu in there and set it to like 2kW?

gusty kiln
#

I want to make a pc but with the radiator outside a window

#

At least for the summer

#

Back inside for the winter

crisp granite
ashen spindle
#

2025?

gusty kiln
#

What's the latest and greatest in air coolers atm?

ashen spindle
#

was thinking maybe you would want this nice and easy to cool thing that will make threadrippers look like mobile chios mm

gusty kiln
#

The power of the sun for the first few seconds of a cinebench run

ashen spindle
#

gotta make sure your cpu draws more power than your 4090

gusty kiln
#

Intel was getting jealous of all the attention nvidia was getting

#

The watt race

crisp granite
#

that's the most I can really accomodate in the case I'm talking about

#

and do...mini-itx motherboards exist for that CPU?

ashen spindle
#

uhh yea, lock it to like 50% power draw, undervolt , limit clocks and just deactivate 50% of the cores havo

crisp granite
#

ok, I guess I can go threadripper

vagrant pagoda
crisp granite
#

but...I'm limited to an SFX PSU in this case

vagrant pagoda
#

then you arent cooling it

crisp granite
#

mhm

ashen spindle
#

take a 1500w psu, just take it out of the box and make your custom casing for it to fit ez

vagrant pagoda
#

the 8490H is THREE HUNDRED TDP!

#

you think they are going to lower that for HEDT?

ashen spindle
#

just 300? they are going up to 350 on some skus

crisp granite
#

reference cooler is smol

#

would comfortably fit in my ITX case

#

999 for 7900xtx

that is good

a steal lol

that's a lot more heatsink
does the XTX run that much hotter?

#

yeah

#

my bad

#

cant hear

#

i love the stripe

crisp granite
#

that's really nice omg

ashen spindle
#

oh I'm not watching unboxing videos lol tahts just known info

crisp granite
#

I usually love AMD reference cards

#

but this is just

#

the best yet

#

DAMN

gusty kiln
crisp granite
#

blacked out, smol stripe

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah

ashen spindle
#

the ambient temperature sensors should be neat for SFF cases too

vagrant pagoda
#

nvidia coming out with crazy coolers and weird connectors for regf

#

meanwhile amd just makes normal card

#

like you could of told me that was almost any AIB

#

and it would of passed

crisp granite
vagrant pagoda
#

i mean

#

for 4090 its needed

crisp granite
#

somehow three and 4 slot monster cards over 30cm in length is becoming acceptable
which is weird

vagrant pagoda
#

remeber 4090 is 100 watts more than xtx

crisp granite
#

especially when AMD can put out 3 slot cards of a reasonable length

crisp granite
#

for future gens

vagrant pagoda
#

now the xtx is higher wattage than the 4080

ashen spindle
#

I mean in games it doesnt use the entire 450W

vagrant pagoda
ashen spindle
#

and from what we have seen you can limit that for just 2% performance loss to a lot lower

gusty kiln
#

I miss maxwell and pascal

vagrant pagoda
#

on rtx titles

gusty kiln
#

Lower tdp days

vagrant pagoda
#

4090 will draw full tdp

ashen spindle
#

ehhhh

#

even in timespy it doesnt

vagrant pagoda
ashen spindle
#

420 at 100% power ttarget

vagrant pagoda
ashen spindle
#

ahh?

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah every review has 410-440w for gpu under gaming for 4090

#

and oc at 500w

ashen spindle
#

yeah or as tested here you can set it to draw a lot less with barely any performance loss

vagrant pagoda
#

that dosent mean it dosent draw full tdp stock

#

it will draw 450 in rtx games

#

metro is the big one

ashen spindle
#

ok in some rtx edge cases in can then

#

didnt think it would draw more than in timespy

vagrant pagoda
#

timespy dosent use rt cores

#

so that part of the die is powered down

ashen spindle
#

oh right, port royale is the rt test

#

right wrong benchmark I was thinking of

vagrant pagoda
ashen spindle
#

either way it seems like nvidia would've still been able to make 4090s with 3 slot coolers and just 350w and almost all cases would've been close to the same

crisp granite
#

yeah idk NVidia is weird

ashen spindle
#

but that was maybe just too late in development when they noticed they could reduce power targets, not like all the 600w rumours came from nowhere

crisp granite
#

is GPU deshrouding still fashionable?

crisp granite
#

oversized
massive 3 slots

vagrant pagoda
#

no

#

there is 2 slot

gusty kiln
vagrant pagoda
#

there is a 2 slot blower 3090 and 4090

ashen spindle
#

yeah those are already removed from the market

#

because nvidia got very mad

vagrant pagoda
#

the way they are built

crisp granite
vagrant pagoda
#

fans are on the shroud

crisp granite
vagrant pagoda
#

yeah but then get a better cooler

#

lol

#

that mounts fans

ashen spindle
#

could make airflow worse depending on how its built if you just do that

#

so yeah in that case get a morpheus or so for it

vagrant pagoda
crisp granite
ashen spindle
#

yea

vagrant pagoda
#

yes

#

they fit everything lol

#

they even have a new one that fits 40xx and 30xx with a memory coldplate

ashen spindle
#

or just wait for the noctua edition that asus is making

vagrant pagoda
#

i have 1080ti with tghe morpheus with no fans in my torrent

gusty kiln
#

Man i hope noctua editions come to amd

ashen spindle
#

yeah I asked them a while ago and the reply was they focus on the 4000 series first

vagrant pagoda
#

i was really disapointed but the last one

#

no isolation for the fans

#

seems like a waste

gusty kiln
#

Man they would probably be able to use standard 120mm fans for the noctua edition on 4000 cards

#

Biiiiiiiggg

gusty kiln
#

Ahh ok

#

140mm time

vagrant pagoda
#

it was 4 slot

#

lol

gusty kiln
#

5 slots

vagrant pagoda
#

but yeah

#

asus literally took the existing card and cooler

#

and slapped two 120s on it

#

but

#

no one of the card matches colors

#

fans are hard mounted

#

only good thing avout it is the fans are normal 4 pin

gusty kiln
#

They didn't use the rubber on the corners of noctua fans?

vagrant pagoda
#

there is a fan splitter inside from gpu to normal 4 pin

vagrant pagoda
#

but they though screwed it

#

so its hard mounted

#

and they double side taped the fans in too if i remember

gusty kiln
#

I mean, that's fine for off the shelf

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah one sec

gusty kiln
#

Most consumer would want it hard mounted

vagrant pagoda
#

why

#

noctual literally includes rubber mounting things in the box iwth the fans for a reason

gusty kiln
#

Idk seems like the rubber should be enough even if it's hard mounted

vagrant pagoda
#

the corners are bolted down

#

so it ignores the rubber

gusty kiln
#

Like how a piece of tape is enough for metal cases on keyboards

#

But the rubber still contacts the surfaces

#

Unless they really cranked the screws down

vagrant pagoda
#

it is

gusty kiln
#

Idk, as long as it is not plastic frame to metal contact. Should be fine for me at least

damn

if they can pump out flagships for this much, I will go team red next time

tropic nacelle
# crisp granite the 7900XT is 900???????

And the XTX is "only" 100 more for what looks to be more like 30% more performance.

The XT should be cheaper in my opinion, will wait for third party benchmarks but on paper it looks like it's priced purely to make the XTX look better

gusty kiln
#

750 would be nice for xt

#

But at the current prices, a 7800xt would be 750 instead

shadow minnow
#

As wood is on the intake the fire would have to spread through plastic first and if it does it being wood won’t make much difference

#

it can make a very small difference but I don’t see how would it be anything crucial

tropic nacelle
#

Don't forget rDNA 2 was 999 for 6900xt and 649 for 6800xt.

It's a shame the 7900XT isn't closer to the 6800xt launch pricing as that's the closer target.

empty wren

Well the fire won’t start next to the wood

Fit wise I ended up liking the Razer Mamba the most I think.

Right size, had the thumbrest lip thing, side buttons easy to reach, not too heavy.

But...it's a Razer dogekek

#

Though the stores mostly Carry the big four here and then their own cheapo rebrands.

SteelSeries, Corsair, Logitech and Razer. Most exotic thing was the Xtrfferyryyryry m42 and a hyperX mouse I think.

Tried the ...g303? And 503's I think.

Something like that. Damn number names dogekek

This has to be a pricing error

Also this would mean that your M.2 slot would be free cause this slots into the PCIEx4 right?

Sounds like a solid deal

ashen spindle

idk not a fan of raid0, maybe it works better now but I'm rather on the safe side and dont use a dual ssd combo

nah not about your link, about the WD AN1500

gusty kiln
#

How fast are you looking?

cursive summit
#

That's pretty good

ashen spindle
#

well that depends since its not a single ssd but in game stuff it seems like it can be just the same or lower than a regular sn750 for example

#

but again mostly just not a fan of raid0 but maybe that's not an issue anymore, haven't really paid attention to how well that works for those dual ssd things

cursive summit
#

The read speeds are really good on this thing

#

I don't really get the raid0 thing, is it actually 2 ssd's combined into a single one?

ashen spindle
#

seriously how hard is to to just look at google

So basically it achieved the PCIe4 speeds by feeding the 2 ssd's in like random fashion?

Between these two : CL30 (30-40-40-96) vs CL32 (32-38-38-96) wouldn't the CL32 Perform better overall? Both @6000MHz

Kek same

cursive summit
#

Typically the lower CL number would do better

sharp badger
#

Yeah

cursive summit

But I am a bit confused how that 30 is 40-40 and 32 is 38-38

sharp badger
#

Yeah that's why i'm confused too

cursive summit
#

There still won't be any meaningful difference

#

CL30 and 32 is like, the same

sharp badger
#

Yeah negligible

cursive summit
#

Same shit with CL18, 16 and whatever else

#

It's just nitpicking

sharp badger
#
#

It's those two i'm looking at

ashen spindle
#

timings are different because thats how different memory bins have always been

#

and CL isn't the main factor for performance on ddr5, even on ddr4 other timings often matter more

sharp badger
#

Seems like they're not Hynix though

#

According too the link

#

Would like some low profile ram & don't care about RGB

#

Seems like Thermaltake has some Hynix sets

#

Ok 🤔

#

This set is there on the list though but can't seem to find any height on their page

shadow minnow
#

There are more important timings

#

Like in the case above

#

I think 32 may do be better

sharp badger
#

Ok 😅 👍

#

I can find one of these at CL32 , 6000MHz , Hynix

shadow minnow
#

Cl doesn’t matter as much

sharp badger
#

But they're not ''low-profile'' though at 39.2mm compared to the G.Skill Ripjaws at 33mm

#

But they don't seem to match anything on the Gigabyte memory support , KF560C32RSK2-32

#

And why is Hynix preferred? the kits i've mentioned has Samsung apparently

*cubic

ashen spindle
#

I need it to be in that rather specific form not any that fits, just using desmos or wolfram alpha gets me some that aren't quite fitting

empty wren
#

Piecewise smooth curve?

ashen spindle
#

no has to be one

#

like I have the rough shape but I don't remember all the tricks to correctly make it fit, this would need to have the last high point to be lower and move further to the left, without going below 0 before the last downtrend

#

so compressing it without increasing the high point basically, and that's not done by just addin +5 to the x^3 or anything

shadow minnow
#

For the green one

ashen spindle
#

thats why I was thinking maybe I can split it into two parts, have an x^2 function and a linear curve and have something like a clamp function equivalent so it goes to the linear at some point

#

yeha like modulo for that

#

but ideally without modulo since that is kinda like branching code which I want to avoid

#

Is there any other way to check kits or is that the only page?

shadow minnow
ashen spindle
#

yeah I'm looking at it on monday, brain fried for the week already

#

idk how performance will be or if it's insignificant enough to just ignore anyway

shadow minnow
#

Here a quick look alike

#

Actually ignore series

#

You just want something in the form of -c(x-a)(x-b)^2

#

Can give you an exact equation if you know domain and range @ashen spindle

ashen spindle
#

yeah I have that part already the tricky part is getting the values in the range I need

shadow minnow
#

It shouldn’t really be an issue

#

What are the values you need?

#

Will find it

ashen spindle
#

the points I need to hit are (0, 0.5) (16,0) (32 , 0.45) (64 -0.5)

#

it cant go up after 32 it has to go down

shadow minnow
#

Gonna cheat and use my calculator haha

#

@ashen spindle these is the graph to hit all the points

ashen spindle
#

yeah I already have that part, that works fine

shadow minnow
ashen spindle
#

basically instead of continuing to go upwards because it goes then down and hits 64,-0.5 it needs to not go upwards after 32

shadow minnow
#

Oh

ashen spindle
#

so basically that graph but compressed without increasing the peak

shadow minnow
#

That will need quite a few powers of X most likely tbh

#

Haven’t done that kinda manipulations in a year

ashen spindle
#

well from the looks of it it would fit if its a -x^3 just moved and rotated lol, I only have 3 points where it needs to change direction but getting that within the parameters is the hard part lol

#

sadly neither desmos nor wolfram alpha have an easy way to give a function for having a graph and moving it lol

shadow minnow
#

It would not fit a normal x^3

sharp badger
#

But i saw this video and he talked about the timings indicate if they're Hynix or not so the first G.Skill kit i linked should be Hynix? : https://youtu.be/uOD8vS0WHeQ?t=1339

ashen spindle
#

can you not make such a rotation with just cubic values? thought with sin or so that might work out in some way

#

but its been too many years since I last did that by hand so maybe it would not work without higher polynominals

sharp badger
#

Ok 😅

shadow minnow
#

It may be doable in x^4 form but that wouldn’t look nice x^5 May work better

ashen spindle
#

care about performance more than a perfect looking curve xD

#

higher exponent means its slower

sharp badger
#

Might either buy F5-6000J3238F16GX2-RS5K , F5-6000J3040F16GX2-RS5K and just test them to see if they're Hynix or not 😅

sharp badger
#

@latent mural KF556C40BBK2-32 is like 5€ cheaper than F5-6000J3238F16GX2-RS5K so it's not that big of a difference but one is Hynix guaranteed and that's the Kingston one 🤔
