Like the most popular Japanese animated show

Ah I have heard of it, it's one of those children ones like doraemon

#

I have no interest in those type of animes

vagrant pagoda

It's more adult than kid show

It's pretty much all adult humor

For several years now, Nvidia has been working on a new gaming processor codenamed T239. Derived from a Tegra chip designed for the automotive and robotics industry, T239 combines an eight-core ARM CPU cluster with an Nvidia Ampere-class GPU with 1536 CUDA cores, advanced machine learning and RT capabilities - plus a file decompression engine fo...

Sapphire releases first graphics card with overclocked memory in months Sapphire has unveiled a new version of their Radeon RX 6750 GRE graphics card.  The AURORA Edition of Radeon RX 6750 GRE stands out for several key reasons.

#

Can I use all the features that the normal cable can do with the Wooting Detachable USB-C Coiled/Straight Cable?

#

Or is there any latency issue...

cursive summit
#

If they are good cables that aren't too long, there shouldn't really be any issues

#

Just have to deliver the data efficiently

#

All Wooting cables are cut out for the job

#

When you want to use an extra long cable of your own then there you can have problems

lost patio
cursive summit
#

They should, yes

vagrant pagoda
#

You'd have to out of USB spec before length affected latency

cursive summit
#

If it's a Wooting cable, they will work fine

vagrant pagoda
#

Speed of light is 300km/ms

lost patio
vagrant pagoda
#

So a 300km USB cable would add 1 millisecond of lag

cursive summit
#

Signal degradation, corrupted information, etc

#

Speed does fall over longer lengths

vagrant pagoda
#

Only if you're out of spec

rough osprey
#

Lucid in forza :O

#

although electric cars kinda boring in games

cursive summit
#

This is tech talk angry_noot

rough osprey
#

oh

#

yes the technological implementation of cars in the Forza franchise is really impressive

vagrant pagoda
#

A 30 meter active USB cable would work fine with a wooting

cursive summit
#

Well, keyword is active

vagrant pagoda
#

Yes

#

The max in spec 2.0 cables ive seen are about 5m

cursive summit
#

Last I read here anything above 2m is subject to degradation and worse performance with a Wooting keyboard

#

Especially with Tachyon on, etc

vagrant pagoda
#

Only if it's a bad cable

cursive summit
#

Well when it's the consumer, who knows what amazon or temu trash they buy

vagrant pagoda
#

A 10cm cable could fail if it's bad

hi i ordere tje wpptomg 60he but why do i get all the keycaps for the bigger one ? Or is this normal ?

#

Or did i made a mistake by the order ?

vagrant pagoda
#

I think only the fancy black/yellow keys come in a 60 set

#

The rest are full sets

tall nimbus
#

i dont get it

vagrant pagoda
#

The normal black and white key caps only come in a full size set

tall nimbus
#

so i have to use them ?

#

or what ?

vagrant pagoda
#

You can use any key caps you want

tall nimbus
#

there were 4 choices, 1 without any keycaps or 2 black and 1 white one

#

have i done anything wrong ?

vagrant pagoda
#

Yes

#

No

tall nimbus
#

i bough the iso german abs default one

#

im freaking confused rn

vagrant pagoda
#

The 2 double shot pbt, black and white, as well as the abs black set, only come as a full set

#

You will just have extra keys

tall nimbus
#

but idk which keys belongs now on they keyboard

vagrant pagoda
#

But there are all the right keys to fit on the 60

#

Look at a picture of the 60 then

tall nimbus
#

is there a pic from the german version of it ?

analog sinew
vagrant pagoda
#

Did you not read the manual?

#

Or the box?

tall nimbus
#

no because i was confused

vagrant pagoda
#

Please go here and follow the guide

tall nimbus
#

my friend freaking scared me

#

Thx a lot ❤️

vagrant pagoda
#

There is only one kit that only fits the 60, and that's the fancy black and yellow set

#

The rest are universal for wooting products

#

Minus the ansi vs iso

#

As long as you have an ISO Wooting, and an ISO keycap set, you have the right products.

tall nimbus
#

ah okey

#

thx a lot ❤️

shold i get pulsar x2 as main mouse?

devout raptor
#

Thoughts? Im excited. I hope I didnt make a bad purchase...

#

joshua valor said that dac is pretty good soo i thought why not

astral haven
#

i mean its good, but its not much better than the generic cs31993

devout raptor
astral haven
#

type cs31993 into amazon
it should be $13

#

but yea you are getting what you pay for, each cs43131 is about $20, so its not technically a waste, but you dont need the extra voltage

devout raptor
#

I see

#

well, if it wasnt a total waste im happy

pale sigil

I have a logitech g pro x and im sure the arias will atleast beat that piece of shit headset

unborn belfry
#

@latent mural the new finalmouse is not 30g tho

#

just to be aware

latent mural
#

It is it says

unborn belfry
#

in real it weighs 38.5~

latent mural
#

wdym

#

why would they say otherwise then

unborn belfry
#

they brand it 30, reviewed it as 35 (I think?) and the actual mouse is 38

#

no one knows why

#

it may depend on the size I think

umbral heron
#

UltralightX?

unborn belfry
#

yea

umbral heron
unborn belfry
#

optimum reviewed it with 38

boreal kiln
unborn belfry
#

hmmm

boreal kiln
#

also kinda pointless weighing the mouse without skates since you need skates

latent mural
#

there is 3 sozes

boreal kiln
#

the 29g was meant for the small

latent mural
#

yes

#

and then 32 or smth for medium

boreal kiln
#

but the chance of the small being that weight is slim af

latent mural
#

and 35 for big

boreal kiln
#

its prob going to be around 34g

latent mural
#

regardless

unborn belfry
#

I might try it if I can get one

latent mural
#

normal size for sub 40g

#

is crazy

unborn belfry
#

Since I liked the Model O shape but the mouse is just cheap

boreal kiln
#

isnt the gwolves in that similar weight range already

latent mural
#

theres only 2 mice i want and its the ultralight x and the m2k

#

but im not paying 400 for m2k

#

180 does seem fair for the ulx

boreal kiln
#

theirs is 39g

latent mural
#

im jealous of ur mouse

#

yeh but plastic feels kinda bad

#

i dislike my dav3p slowly cuz of it but i might just need grip tape

boreal kiln
#

the ulx is prob going to feel similar tbh

latent mural
#

cant tell without touching

boreal kiln
#

since its similar material thats used in bike saddles

latent mural
boreal kiln
#

and that feels like plastic already

latent mural
#

may i have permission to steal your m2k

unborn belfry
boreal kiln
latent mural
#

what about all the other nice miceblobaww

#

don’t be shy

#

also are ur hands small cuz maybe thats why u main it

#

i feel like i couldnt main a m2k

#

just for aiming stuff id use it

boreal kiln
latent mural
#

I rlly wanna get a job for 1 month to buy some nice setup items

boreal kiln
#

put it this way for the gpx & viper i normally will palm or sometimes claw grip those

latent mural
#

o

#

i claw my dav3p

boreal kiln
#

i tried the dav3 a few times but mouse is way too big and shape actually hurt my hand

#

but something like the EC1 besides being big i didnt have issues with that

latent mural
#

i like it it feels like air

#

like

#

when i move it

#

it feels like so stable idk

#

but i want the ulx to just see if i prefer the shape

#

if not i can just resell for profit

boreal kiln
#

i have a starlight small

#

which i really like the shape and size of

latent mural
#

may u send that over

boreal kiln
#

i much prefer that shape over like the viper mini

latent mural
boreal kiln
#

the thing i hated with the viper mini was the hump

latent mural
#

i like the humps being in the back

#

hence i claw grip

upper comet
#

How do honey comb mice even feel

latent mural
#

so dav3p isnt a big fit

upper comet
#

Are they kinda annoying

latent mural
umbral heron
boreal kiln
#

the viper mini hump just pressed in my hand and became annoying compared to the flatter shape of the starlight

latent mural
#

i had a model o and it felt okay

boreal kiln
boreal kiln
#

my only issue with the starlight small is the balance of it when using it as an ftip mouse

latent mural
#

narisa are u good at games

#

does the equipment make u good

boreal kiln
#

is that it was back heavy with my grip

latent mural

or not

i keep switching between the hien and otsu

Do you get like soft xsoft or mid

Then you'll be looking for amp shrug_weeb

cinder tinsel
boreal kiln

no idea

#

i havent looked at amps in ages

umbral heron

Cheaper than any amp would be getting 80 ohms ones instead of 250 havo
There's no difference between these two when it comes to beyers, any differences in freq responses are within very tight measurement error shrug_weeb

you prob wont even hear the difference but your wallet will thank you

Other than that FiiOs are like low-end of high-end, minimum when it comes to good quality stuff

I bought myself BTR7, wanted to try to add bluetooth to my m50xs

TLDR cpu-z is a terrible benchmark
It fits inside the l1 of modern cpu's and hardly loads the branch predictor.
This makes it very synthetic and a poor predictor of real world performance.

You know how Hauwei got banned in the US and are not allowed to use American made software?

How are they allowed to use AOSP to build HarmonyOS ontop of?
Technically AOSP is American software cause its made by Google

Hauwei's Find My Phone feature: "Do dododo du do IM HEREEEE!!!!"

wheat plume
#

I still dont know how they are allowed to use AOSP since its american made software

thick elk
#

AOSP as the name implies is open source, you can't export-restrict open-source

wheat plume
#

hmmmm

ashen spindle
#

And if you just google it you find HarmonyOS is removing aosp code from its os

wheat plume
#

Yeah, they are now...but they havent been so far

#

HarmonyOS is basically AOSP with Hauwei instead of Google libraries

#

Even if they replace all Google services and libraries, AOSP is still code written by Google and that is banned for them

#

this doesnt make sense, Hauwei still sell products in the EU

cursive summit
#

U.S is EU?

ashen spindle
#

So look at licenses for the parts of android they use if it’s actually google owned

#

Yes vex read more than one sentence

analog sinew

wait

wheat plume

where you get that from

ashen spindle

He didn’t read past the sentence you had highlighted I assume

wheat plume
#

ohh

cursive summit
#

Also the fact that Lana said that Huawei still sell products in the EU, which is like, okay?

ashen spindle
#

So you either still didn’t read the rest or didn’t understand it

#

It’s about the ability of the US stopping Huawei if they use google products and they very clearly could get the EU to comply if that was an issue but not China

cursive summit
#

Indeed yes, that's what is written

#

Tbf it's just stating the obvious lol

#

Not sure why Google would pursue legal action in EU either

wheat plume
#

Im just saying, how can Hauwei use AOSP outside of China when using code written from American companies is banned

cursive summit
#

Cause they want to?

wheat plume
#

AOSP is either written by, or under a license from an American company, but they are allowed use it inside China

ashen spindle
#

Is all of aosp google owned?

wheat plume
#

yet they still sell to the EU

snow moon
#

China is above laws, you should know that

cursive summit
#

Xi comes to save us from filthy capitalists yet again

#

Power to the people! (and communist leaders' pockets)

wheat plume
#

AOSP uses GPLv2 license, which is by the Free Software Foundation, I think

snow moon
#

There's no international laws that cover everything, each state is sovereign and all that

wheat plume
#

Yeah, but the ban on Hauwei blocking American software extends to the license the code is protected by

#

GPLv2 license is American

#

AOSP is licensed under that but Hawuei got an exception for China

#

Yet they still sell to EU, idk how they are allowed for that

frozen ingot
#

how is the US supposed to enforce it in EU though

snow moon
#

US can't do shit outside its borders

ashen spindle
#

Very easily via legal treaties

frozen ingot
#

unless they can prove to EU courts they're using their software

wheat plume
#

They can...

#

AOSP is under a license created by an American Foundation

ashen spindle
#

HarmonyOS is open last I checked so that would be a task of 5 minutes lol

wheat plume
#

Yeh but theyd have to change the license its protected by

#

and no longer use any code protected by the GPLv2 license

ashen spindle
#

I meant the part of proving it a using the code

wheat plume
#

yeah

frozen ingot
#

I mean theoretically huawei could probably just lie and claim their new model has 100% their own software and start selling it

ashen spindle
#

These things are easy to find out

frozen ingot
#

in the unlikely event they'd get "busted" they could make a new bs statement saying this time we mean it

ashen spindle
#

Not really

#

Not hard to find out and prove in court

misty saffron
#

why would that be an unlikely event?

#

you know how cheat makers are sued for copyright, of all things?

#

the bar is extremely low

frozen ingot

someone would have to open up an investigation around it for starters

misty saffron

leave it to internet people

But thanks Apple, phones don't have SD card slots anymore

#

Absolute shitheads

thick elk
#

I would not blame that on apple at all, apple never had them, neither did google on their nexus line.
It's just that the amount of people relying on them is not that large and they do take space and why not take the upsell for double the storage instead.

#

Also blame people buying garbage SD cards then being surprised they are slow and unreliable in their phone.
Is what I hear / read. Personally find it rather stupid but it sadly sounds plausible enough.

misty saffron
#

tbf buying storage is confusing if you don't know what you're doing

umbral heron
misty saffron

same thing as people buying 2 tb 10 tbw ssds

thick elk
#

Also android's implementation of microsd's is rather garbage.

The whole idea of micro'sds being formatted like internal storage and not being freely movable between devices is stupid.
Just accept they are not for apps, just media and be fine with it.

Sandisk by far is the most commonly seen sd card manufacturer

In general smaller sizes are slower and even with samsung / sandisk you have their budget line.

You have ohms and you have sensitivity
sensitivity will determine how loud they are
Ohms determine the resistance of the headphone

a Apple dongle if you're in the US
or a CX31993 dongle if you're in the EU

If you want something with balanced the moondrop dawn pro

cx31993 also in the us

apple dong is for use as a dac only, dont want to use it without a stationary amp since the cable is so weak

If you have a cable extension then it wouldnt be so bad

astral haven

if your cable extension is wrapped around something to avoid stressing the dongle sure

the only advantage of the apple dong is you can find it locally

if you are buying online anyways, get the cx

For like 10-15€ here

Same as the apple dong

#

Same thing

astral haven
old marlin
#

Can't you just use a 10cm extension or something

astral haven
#

i wasnt able to find an extension short enough to fit in the index hp jack

old marlin
#

Rip

astral haven
#

why tf did they put it there???

old marlin
#

Cause it's funny

mortal saddle
#

Will a dac significantly improve audio for 100dollar headphones?

old marlin
#

Depends on your source

cinder tinsel
old marlin
#

Also yea

#

Price doesn't make a good headphone lol

astral haven
old marlin
#

And a bad one will always sound bad

astral haven
#

^

astral haven
#

cx31993 can hit 99db on 990 pro 250 ohm

#

according to osha it will take over 2 hours for permanent hearing damage

old marlin
astral haven
#

as long as the source doesnt have any noise or distortions

old marlin
#

I meant volume

astral haven
#

and the cx31993 and apple dongle have no such distortions

cinder tinsel
old marlin
#

No

#

Cx is more than enough

#

Unless you like to listen to music loud enough to hurt your ears

astral haven
#

beyers are an acquired taste

#

eh they arent that bad

old marlin
astral haven
#

but they definetly take a while to get used to

old marlin
#

Treble spike moment

#

990s are prob the worst of the bunch

#

Doesn't make them better

#

They aren't t1 level of memes tho

astral haven
#

akg the real winner for closed backs right now

mortal saddle
#

You guys have any recommendation for 200dollars or less. Headphones

old marlin
#

If you can get them for that price

#

If you buy them used look up how much stock pads are before buying

mortal saddle
#

Wait thats like 450

old marlin
#

Look for used ones then

#

They are discontinued

astral haven
#

i also dont recommend hd600 because of the maintenance costs

#

also they are not designed to be comfortable

old marlin
#

Lol

#

They are pretty comfortable to me

astral haven
#

i more recommend the hd560s

astral haven
cursive summit
#

That's.. not really how browsers work?

astral haven
#

they arent designed to be comfortable to begin with

old marlin
#

What

astral haven
#

they are flat

old marlin
#

?

astral haven
#

with extremely minimal spacing

old marlin
#

They swivel

reef patrol
#

Ah yes. Three browsers in a trenchcoat

astral haven
#

and not deep

old marlin
#

Ig if you have very protruding ears?

reef patrol
#

Ah yes. Such valid arguments.

old marlin
#

Hasn't been a problem for me at all

reef patrol
astral haven
mortal saddle
#

560s looks nice

#

Ill check review and all that

#

Thx

cursive summit
#

So just get those off drop

mortal saddle
#

Im not in america or eu

cursive summit
#

Mars?

#

Don't know much shops there

mortal saddle
#

Lmao

astral haven
#

i cant wear my 6xx for more than an hour or two, and thats after purchasing replacement pads since i thought it was just that the pads wore out

old marlin
#

I have rather normal ears and a large head

#

Absolutely no problem

astral haven
#

so your ears touch and you dont care
lucky you

#

but its not something i can recommend to just anyone

cursive summit
#

What does it matter anyways

astral haven
#

unless theyve tried it

old marlin
#

They don't tho lol

#

Even with worn pads

astral haven
#

600 series on stock pads?

old marlin
#

Yes

astral haven
#

ive never heard of someone who couldnt notice them touching at all

#

i guarantee you that your ears are touching the driver protector

old marlin
#

My ears just don't protrude an inch

astral haven
#

600 series is nowhere near an inch deep

old marlin
final flame
# astral haven lucky you

meanwhile they're are the most comfortable headphone I own, and many reviewers also state they are among the most comfortable headphones you can get

astral haven
#

yep

#

many do

old marlin
#

Not most comfortable to me for sure

#

But definitely better than average

astral haven
#

that I definetly agree with

old marlin
#

Can wear them for a full day without any issues

astral haven
#

yea noone in my family can wear them for more than an hour

old marlin
#

Not any hifiman issues with omega cmalping force or no swivel adjustments

old marlin
astral haven
#

it is a one time thing tho but if you or the previous owner didnt do it, its not great

old marlin
#

Still is stupid that you have to do it

#

With something as expensive as aryas

astral haven
#

🤷 sennheiser also has the same issue

#

at least for 600 series

final flame
#

you don't have to bend them
you can wear them in naturally over time
getting a used pair and swapping the pads seems to overall be a good option, you can get it for cheaper and don't have to mess with the clamp

astral haven
#

500 series doesnt

old marlin
#

You need to wear them in for clamping force

#

But they do have swivel

astral haven
#

so do some of the hifimans?

old marlin
#

Yes

#

Aryas don't

#

Lol

#

And you don't wear in the clamp on he400s

astral haven
old marlin
#

Yes you can, i wore them in myself

astral haven
#

if i had to judge 600series based on their stock feel, they would rate worse than cals

#

in terms of comfort

old marlin
#

cals?

astral haven
#

creative aruvana live

old marlin
#

Never tried them

astral haven
#

think on ears

#

but slightly larger so that as few people can use them as possible

old marlin
#

Definitely better for me

astral haven
#

highly recommend cals for kids tho, bc with small enough ears you can wear them as overears

green remnant
#

Is is true that keeping your pc on the floor is worse

astral haven
#

and if you can manage a seal, they are easily the best closed backs under 100

old marlin
#

But you get less noise from it

green remnant
final flame
frozen ingot
#

I got mine on the floor

final flame
#

you can also use a box to rise it off the floor

astral haven
#

also worse than what?
on the ceiling?
a tall shelf?
what options do you have

green remnant
#

I kind of have mine on the floor but not really at the same time

old marlin
#

What

green remnant
#

Its on kind of a stance

#

Is this fine too or

final flame
old marlin
#

Yes it's fine

astral haven
#

whats wrong?

old marlin
#

Should just stand on a hard surface

green remnant
green remnant
old marlin
#

What's the issue

#

The length of the cable

green remnant
#

Like

#

If I were to

old marlin
#

Or the cable getting dragged down

green remnant
#

Nevermind

#

Kind of that

#

But its fine because you said the place of my pc is fine

old marlin
#

Just use a piece of tape

frozen ingot
#

well an usb extension cable is pretty cheap if you must have a longer one

old marlin
#

And tape the cable to the rear of the desk

green remnant
#

How do I check the temp of my pc

old marlin
#

Hardwareinfo

final flame
#

also hwmonitor

green remnant
#

Where do I find this stuff

old marlin
#

Google

final flame
#

Google

old marlin
green remnant
old marlin
#

Yes

astral haven
#

yes, thats the best option

green remnant
#

So I downloaded hwinfo where do I see my temp

astral haven
#

when it opens, theres a few checkboxes

#

click the sensors only one

#

or if you missed it, theres a sensors button in the bar at the top

green remnant
#

Is this bad or good

astral haven
#

what are you doing, with what cooler

green remnant
#

Wdym

#

I’m confused now

#

😭

astral haven
#

what is your pc doing

green remnant
#

Just playing like roblox

#

Discord and opera running

astral haven
#

and what block of metal and plastic is on top of your cpu

green remnant
astral haven
#

no

green remnant
#

Lemme close my stuff and see

#

This pc is decently old s9o

#

So

astral haven
#

the cpu is tiny, on top of it is a thing with a fan on it

green remnant
#

I cannot seem to find it

#

But I can send a image of inside my pc

astral haven
#

that will work

green remnant
#

I think I need to clean it sometime

reef patrol
#

Your case fan's the wrong way.

astral haven
#

well that temp isnt fantastic

green remnant
frozen ingot
green remnant
#

I got this from my brother

reef patrol
#

No wait. I guess they did that to intake air for the AIO.

Still not an amazing idea but beggars and choosers.

astral haven
green remnant
reef patrol
frozen ingot
#

musta been one spicy drop

astral haven
green remnant
frozen ingot
green remnant
#

So is there any big problems you guys can see with my pc?

astral haven
#

nope

green remnant
#

The core temp is 48 with no games running just opera discord and spotify

astral haven
#

well nothing that needs fixing

green remnant
#

Anything I could change?

frozen ingot
#

other than the rear facing fan is probably blowing the wrong way, not much

green remnant
astral haven
astral haven
green remnant
#

Is the fan upside down

#

I can

#

I can't tell

frozen ingot
#

ohh its some weird aio thing

#

might be correct then yes

astral haven
#

just leave it alone tbh

#

50 idle isnt fantastic, but it sounds reasonable

final flame
#

the aio does look like it has a quite a bit of dust on the fin stacks

#

wouldn't hurt to dust that off

serene otter
#

its also a 120, it aint gonna perform fantastic

dusk slate
#

How do we tell if our keyboard is defective itself

astral haven
#

and since its an intake, most of the dust is on the side we cant see

old marlin
green remnant
dusk slate
green remnant
#

Yeah, my brother gave it to me

astral haven
#

but yes dusting is good

dusk slate
#

Maybe my cable is defective who knows

green remnant
#

Dust is conductive right?

reef patrol
old marlin
#

not necessarily

#

usually isn't

frozen ingot
reef patrol
#

That AIO will eventually die out.

old marlin
#

oh

green remnant
old marlin
#

that is an NZXT asetek 120

green remnant
frozen ingot
#

all in one

old marlin
#

the cooler you have is an all in one liquid cooler

#

also called aio

green remnant
#

Oh

#

How can I fix it from dying out

#

Oh crap

frozen ingot
#

replace it when it dies

green remnant
#

So what do I do when it dies

#

Oh ok

#

Where would I buy it

#

Its just an aio cooler right?

#

Do I need to buy a liquid with it or

final flame
#

Replace it with either another aio or what would be best is to replace it with a air cooler

frozen ingot
#

probably won't find the same model still for sale when its time, so need to look for one with your cpu socket type

final flame
green remnant
old marlin
#

if it dies

#

you replace it completely

green remnant
old marlin
#

no

green remnant
#

Oh

old marlin
#

if it dies

#

replace the entire thing

#

a decent air cooler will do tho

green remnant
#

Only the aio or?

old marlin
#

will prob perform better as well

#

yea only the aio

frozen ingot
#

yeah would probably replace it with a tower aircooler when its dead

astral haven
#

depends how bad it dies lel

final flame
#

just get a thermalright air cooler once it dies

old marlin
#

where and what to get really depends on where you are though

green remnant
frozen ingot
#

less stuff to go wrong, less maintenance, more peace of mind if you're not very familiar with the insides of a pc

green remnant
old marlin
#

it's 1151

#

will be marked as 115x

green remnant
#

So you guys are telling me once it dies I should get another AIO & a fan

old marlin
#

hard to find something incompatible

green remnant
final flame
#

you have a intel i7 8700k

old marlin
#

just get a tower cooler

green remnant
old marlin
frozen ingot
#

get a noctua, scythe or deepcool tower aircooler

final flame
#

so it's gonna be 1151

green remnant
#

But if I try to buy it will be marked as 115x

old marlin
green remnant
final flame
old marlin
#

depending on where you are, what you buy etc would cost you like ~35-60€

green remnant
final flame
# green remnant Where would I put this once I buy it
frozen ingot
#

those are dependable brands for tower coolers

frozen ingot
#

thermalright also

green remnant
frozen ingot
#

not to be confused with thermaltake mm

old marlin
#

but since we don't know where you are we can't give you any direct recommendations

old marlin
green remnant
old marlin
#

where the round part of the aio sits rn

frozen ingot
#

pc parts brand

frozen ingot
#

like the other ones I listed

green remnant
#

Ok so once my aio dies will my pc just not boot anymore or like

final flame
#

your cpu will overheat and the pc will turn off

green remnant
#

Oh ok

final flame
#

either will turn off or the cpu will throttle and it will be very very slow

green remnant
reef patrol
final flame
#

Hearing bubbling or hearing a crackling coming from the aio

#

generally is a sign of pump failure

reef patrol
#

It could start making weird noises, it could cool less well. It could leak.

It's a closed system, so there's no one easy way to diagnose it.

frozen ingot
green remnant
reef patrol
#

Personally I'd just grab a good air cooler from a brand like Noctua now - Because they will offer you mounting brackets for future upgrades, without needing to re-buy the cooler.

frozen ingot
#

the problem with many AIOs is once they break down they often tend to also start leaking

astral haven
green remnant
#

What happens if that leaks?

final flame
final flame
frozen ingot
#

best case no damage, worst case it'll end up on pcbs and cause shorts

cursive summit
#

Btw Musk is an absolute idiot

#

He posted a meth recipe on Twitter to showcase bot's capabilities

#

Like, what

green remnant
final flame
frozen ingot
#

depends on how many things in the pc that gets exposed

final flame
#

yes

#

looking where it's mounted it's either gonna drip on the gpu or on the mobo
both are bad

frozen ingot
#

but the graphics card is probably the most likely to get wet first should it burst

green remnant
frozen ingot
#

since it sits directly under the AIO parts

green remnant
#

You guys scaring me with how much bad outcomes there are

frozen ingot
final flame
#

yea

misty saffron
#

you’ve had SO many options

green remnant
cursive summit
frozen ingot
#

just make damn sure your replacement fits not just the cpu socket but isn't blocked by nearby components like ram sticks

misty saffron
#

but you had to pick the one which has 50 ads on a page

frozen ingot
#

modern tower coolers can be very large

cursive summit
#

What ads thonk

#

Adblocking sure makes life so much better

misty saffron
#

yeah that’s not the point

frozen ingot
cursive summit
#

I have virtually no clue how the website looks for you lol

#

It looked like an alright website, well structured, so I linked it

green remnant
final flame
#

looking at the model of aio cooler that thing is quite old already

green remnant
frozen ingot
green remnant
frozen ingot
#

one of the perks of watercooling systems is the size of the actual cpu block and connectors are relatively small

green remnant
frozen ingot
#

no they just need a lot more surface area to dissipate heat, that's basically the only reason why they're so big

green remnant
final flame
frozen ingot
#

a good tower cooler is typically better than an AIO

#

but a bespoke watercooling system will typically be superior to either

astral haven
#

the performance of an aio can be very good, by making it bigger and bigger

green remnant
frozen ingot
#

yeah, but most of them comes with those tiny radiators

astral haven
#

tower coolers have practical size limits

green remnant
astral haven
#

dont even think about it

#

just dont

final flame
green remnant
#

Dont what?

green remnant
astral haven
#

consider a custom loop

green remnant
astral haven
#

the water cooling systems with the highest performance

final flame
astral haven
#

what

frozen ingot
#

tower coolers can be anything from a breeze to a whole lot of hassle to install

astral haven
#

dont

#

where did that word go

frozen ingot
#

tons of different designs on the market, most brands figure out their own solution

green remnant
#

What about the one I was sent earlier

final flame
#

the ram sticks are bare with no heatsyncs
90% of air coolers will likely fit

final flame
#

a piece of metal that distributes heat

green remnant
frozen ingot
#

a tower cooler is a heatsink

green remnant
#

Ohhhhhh

frozen ingot
#

parts of it anyways

final flame
#

ram sticks will come with them pre installed
I'm simply stating that there are none as coolers have height requirements and ram sticks with heatsinks can get in the way of the cooler

green remnant
#

So the only thing really wrong with my pc is the aio

#

Not much else?

final flame
#

yea, at least it's going to be the most likely for failure

green remnant
#

Crop up?

#

What is a colloquialism

#

😭

final flame
#

V is just saying that more issues will appear over time

green remnant
#

Oh

#

Should I probably get a newer pc sojmetime

#

Sometime

#

My brother was opting to give me his rtx 4080 sometime

final flame
#

"Crop Up"/ "pop up"

frozen ingot
#

well that pc has quite a lot of time left in it

#

its a lot more recent than my rig mm

#

I would take a gander at todays parts probably surviving longer than 90s/00s hardware has

green remnant
frozen ingot
#

true but gpus are kind of an anomaly vs the remaining pc

#

unused or lightly used cards will probably survive for many decades, just keep an eye on those electrolytics

final flame
#

computer history in general is hard to preserve as data rot will exist
I'm sure even the microcode on cpus could have issues down the line

frozen ingot
#

yeah am a bit sadge our very first voodoo card ended up getting thrown out

#

aside from a few museum pieces is there really that much worth saving from 1900s computing

#

not many people in their right minds would want to subject themselves to actually using machines from that era more involvingly

ashen spindle
#

we have seen the CU count before

cursive summit

that ramps up quickly and then goes away again?

green remnant
#

Usually high pitched

old marlin
#

just for a short duration?

#

is prob just a component that barely reaches into a higher fan curve

you could check rpms in winfo

this one ? 🙂

is this the right one?

i'd prob pick up the L45's but both are good

okay! should i grab their lube set and switch kit , or are there better out there

i mean im sures there might be smth better but this one isnt bad and if ur buying everything from the same store why not
