[fair gull]

49" DQHD 5120x1440

been going strong over a year now with 0 issues

[distant tapir]

1600 x 1200p

[spring mortar]

yeah i run samsung gaming monitor for main center and widescreen lg with no built in sound so alot cheaper for side monitors @fair gull i switched up to smaller monitor when was running serious mmo FFXIV stuff needed be faster in big raid fights especially if running as support job having look over the party lists alot more . but recently had get some new gaming controls for pc since gaming keypad broke . so now be running the wooting and corsair scimitar

[fair gull]

i feel like that point is even more odd in ffxiv

just move the party list closer to center

[spring mortar]

yeah for ffxiv not much big move .but found alot faster in shooters . save alot neck movement .

how are the 4090s running . the quality control still ok or drop like most other products. almost time to start making parts list for new pc build

[sharp badger]

Shouldn't the 5000 series be announced soonish?

[spring mortar]

yeah i dont game on much mmo anymore they all handheld teddybear games now not the hard core xp grinds like old days . back when had use resume for ffxi to get into end game stuff

oh man new stuff coming out haha the ever changing list of pc parts here we go again lol

[sharp badger]

So would kinda hold off building a PC if it's not needed atm.

But can always start looking at parts

[spring mortar]

yeah dont need pc right now . just wanted to start make list of parts. because think was like 5years ago when i finally built parts i had for 2 years lol asus rog maximus VIII extreme . so my stuff is kinda old

[sharp badger]

Ah yeah

[ashen spindle]

50 series is end of the year as earliest, likely CES or something around that

[sharp badger]

Well the new AMD Cpus is said to be released in July so there could be some good deals coming and then it depends on what ones current GPU is

[ashen spindle]

Gpu also can just be switched out whenever

[umbral heron]

Hoping for 7xxx to go down in price

[ashen spindle]

Doesn’t need a new board or ram

[sharp badger]

Yes which is why one could pic up a new CPU/Mobo/Ram and keep the current GPU if it's sufficient

[fair gull]

i hoped for computex to be 50series announcement tbh

[sharp badger]

Well the stock split is happening on Monday so maybe there's some waiting to push the stock higher after it, creating the hype

[unkempt lake]

Your 2080 ti still being ded?

the dreaded bad memory chips strike again

Bad micron chips

@pale sigil you dropped an e from your name also i saw you type you can't hide from me

[sharp badger]

Oh noes the .deb :(((

[pale sigil]

I meant to do sh

[unkempt lake]

[pale sigil]

Ha, one sec.

I kill people with this name (epic)

[smoky frigate]

I still use Jia Tan xz, lasse collin only adds bloat

[digital cliff]

what

[crimson wigeon]

Not false

[digital cliff]

but what do these words mean

[crimson wigeon]

Wait where is this Jia Tan now anyways, still developing xz?

[ashen spindle]

name of the guy that made the backdoor commits to ssh that almost got into some important upstreams

[unkempt lake]

lies

I'm not dead yet

YOU LIED

[digital cliff]

news to me

[ashen spindle]

https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/03/backdoor-found-in-widely-used-linux-utility-breaks-encrypted-ssh-connections/

basically thanks to some microsoft guy who noticed some 100ms delay when logging in while he was working it got caught

[smoky frigate]

it was actually really well hidden, in the tar archive itself iirc

[steep creek]

how does he notice a 100ms delay

[smoky frigate]

thank god for OCD

[sharp badger]

Btw got some wierd MS bug atm. when putting the PC to sleep and then starting it's taking waay to long for an M.2 SSD to start. Might be the latest update that's borked

[ashen spindle]

Never trusted sleep and havent used it for like two decades

[sharp badger]

Do you always shut down?

[ashen spindle]

pc off literally means I turn off the extension cord xD

[smoky frigate]

I barely shut doen my PC anymore, it's always on suspend

[sharp badger]

Sleep or Hibernate?

[smoky frigate]

pretty much only when there is a kernel or GPU driver update

[smoky frigate]

sleep

[sharp badger]

Okie

Sucks that it's started to act like this suddenly

[ashen spindle]

I just prefer never having to deal with uptime issues and its nicer to see all rgb off instead of that sucking standby power on the mic leds and such

[sharp badger]

Most of my stuff just also go to ''sleep'' while putting the PC to sleep

[fair gull]

seems like it. only used the amd rx card of my gf for 2 days now and it hasnt crashed yet

[pale sigil]

Someone stole my identity

Do I abuse my powers

[fair gull]

and since computex didnt bring new nvidio gpus im sort of just waiting a week to see if it still happens

[unkempt lake]

Uwu

[sharp badger]

That backplate didn't look good

[fair gull]

it it hasnt crashed till next weekend ill just have to buy new stuff

[unkempt lake]

A 2080 ti is worth fixing imo

[fair gull]

or check for a used working 2080ti

[fair gull]

idk any gpu fixing places lol

nor their prices

[smoky frigate]

what does it do

[pale sigil]

Depends on the fix

[unkempt lake]

Bad vram

It's not too bad

[pale sigil]

That's worth trying

[fair gull]

bluescreen with 3 or 4 different errors and all point to either dxgkrnl.sys and/or nvlddmkm.sys

[pale sigil]

Vram is quite cheap irrc

To buy yourself

[fair gull]

and the only real thing i can see is OCCD showed vram errors

[fair gull]

i dont have any solder stencilc or rework station lol

nor will i basically ruin an other wise functional gpu just to try and do it myself

[astral haven]

micron just leaked very fast card coming very soon
https://www.techpowerup.com/323314/first-nvidia-rtx-5090-performance-view-micron-knows-better

[ashen spindle]

that doesnt mention anything about a date

[fair gull]

yeah

[sharp badger]

Yes would still kinda think that they would like to push the stock with some ''new'' hype

[fair gull]

at this point i have to assume CES is the earliest date for release date mentions and that will be ages still

so either i find a place that can replace vram on my 2080ti for me, i find a used one of the same model for a good price or i drop a few g on a new pc

[sharp badger]

Do you need to upgrade your CPU/Mobo?

[astral haven]

can also try warranty?

[ashen spindle]

its out of warranty

[astral haven]

yea but for defects theres sometimes out of warranty options if it would have been covered under warranty

[sharp badger]

Yeah

Slim chance but

[astral haven]

^ no harm in trying

[sharp badger]

Yup

[fair gull]

its not under extended warranty

there is an extended warranty for the cards but it also expired

[sharp badger]

Welp

[steep creek]

maybe see if the store you bought it from offers repairs

[fair gull]

they 100% do not

[steep creek]

ah

[smoky frigate]

might as well upgrade

[fair gull]

well the original plan was wait for next gpu gen and buy that or prev gen depending on price/perf

but now im sorta crapped and need a better solution

[sharp badger]

Can you borrow your girlfriends GPU?

[fair gull]

its her old one

but it sucks butt

[sharp badger]

Does it do the job for your current games?

[pale sigil]

Damn, GPUs can suck a butt?

[smoky frigate]

as a former Vega 64 owner, they can suck butt and perhaps even eat ass

[sharp badger]

Went from a 980TI to a 3080 so was quite a upgrade

[halcyon moss]

Oh now he's interested

[smoky frigate]

went to 3080 too and I was happy to not have the feckin games crash all the time

"hur dur AMD good on linux" yet the driver managed no more than 240hz output

[sharp badger]

Yeah had some friends have a lot of crashes with AMD gpus so was like nah going NVIDIA again

[smoky frigate]

that was definitely my last AMD gpu, I will not get tricked a third time

[sharp badger]

I do belive they're quite good value and such but still NVIDIA have been just perfect

[umbral heron]

[sharp badger]

First PC i had while playing CS 1.6 had an AMD Gpu and that just sucked and then i got my fathers NVIDIA Gpu and then all was good

[smoky frigate]

I did manage to coax it to a higher refresh rate a few times, but it would generally not work past kernel 5.9, and only by appeasing the gods with suspend/resume SOMETIMES

[pale sigil]

Never heated of a Hz issue with AMD drivers

[umbral heron]

I had no issues, be it with high refresh rate or with HDR

[ashen spindle]

on linux?

[smoky frigate]

I do not know. maybe the Vega was just that shit. switched to NV and the issue was no more

[umbral heron]

Ah... Vega...
Now everything makes sense

[pale sigil]

Yes

[analog sinew]

@fair gull https://krisfix.de/

[fair gull]

im aware

i saw the prices

[analog sinew]

okay :/+

[umbral heron]

If Nvidia wasn't so expensive, I'd strongly consider it, especially now, since Nvidia fixed Wayland in beta now
But at this point everything for me works on AMD, so...

[ashen spindle]

yeah at those prices especially when its not quite certain what the cause is might as well get a new one since that not a cheap repair

[sudden imp]

https://youtu.be/wX9cJ6t8IdI?si=obXaMK7g-Uk52dOW

[sharp badger]

Well it depends on what one can get, the Nvidia GPUs most people don't need a e.g. 4090

[fair gull]

thats exactly the issue... i think its vram but it might be more and might not even be fixable due to no IC available or such if its some special controller stuff... and then i basically either let them throw it away or pay even more money to get it back assembled

[ashen spindle]

used 2080tis on ebay go for <300€ these days so a 150€ repair if thats it isn't an amazing deal really

[umbral heron]

Nah, I wan't something high-end now, so I'll ride it till it dies
And for price of 4090 I can get ~2.5 7900xtxs so...

[fair gull]

well i looked for the same model (since it had some nice boosted clocks) and it was 400eur minimum

[ashen spindle]

yeah I was just looking at sold cards and saw some for 250 and some for "accepted an offer" while listed at 280

so your model might get more but it's not really much faster than those

[sharp badger]

Cheapest 4090 atm. here

[fair gull]

i have seen 3070Tis for 400 as well

[smoky frigate]

shame right after crypto bubble we got an AI bubble lawl

[fair gull]

cant even find the listing anymore for it. next one i find rn is 475

[umbral heron]

7750zł
7900 is 4200zł

[ashen spindle]

I mean, if we were to stay in the price bracket you can buy new cards that are faster for less these days xD

[fair gull]

oh no here it is https://www.ebay.de/itm/386928756728

[ashen spindle]

I would only look at sold products

[fair gull]

well i cant buy sold products

so i have to also look at listings

[ashen spindle]

no but it shows what price stuff is going for

[fair gull]

yes i still have to hope i can actually get it for something close to those prices though

[ashen spindle]

ohn yeah for sure

was just thinking in terms of if the repair is worth it

[sharp badger]

Would be kinda good if you'd be fine to use what you can atm.

[fair gull]

well i did a quick calc and if its the vrams it would be around 320 or so

plus shipping twice

[sharp badger]

Usually these temporary fixes just aren't good enough

[fair gull]

main issue is it says ab so the price can be way higher per vram chip

[fair gull]

well it would have 6 months warranty on the repair. the main issue is that a vram replacement is easy enough for a pro that does it often enough BUT i am not even sure its just VRAM

currently i assume it is since theres no real pixel errors but straight crashes and OCCD found a handful of VRAM errors

[sharp badger]

Yeah it could be a capacitor

[fair gull]

well it could also be way more

like vram and power stages

and then some

[sharp badger]

Yeah it's difficult to say

[fair gull]

and id be out at least 50eur + 2x shipping

since thats the price for not taking the repair quote

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[fair gull]

so depending on how they ship it that can be close to 100eur if they choose a really expensive shipper and then i could have already put that towards a better temp replacement

[sharp badger]

Yeah but the temp. replacement just wouldn't be worth it depending on how soon you'd buy a new GPU

[fair gull]

exactly the dillemma

[sharp badger]

So if you could borrow some temporary GPU would be the best option

[analog sinew]

i have a 550ti you can have

[smoky frigate]

well I still have that vega 64 but I don't know you well enough to hate you that much

[unkempt lake]

what about anime characters with cat ears

🤔

[umbral heron]

furry and weeb is a dangerous combo

[unkempt lake]

https://tenor.com/view/traumatized-cat-scared-terrified-nervous-gif-17769683

[halcyon moss]

True

[analog sinew]

isnt that very common

i mean most furry stuff is cartoonish

[unkempt lake]

a wild nico has appeared

[umbral heron]

Common doesn't mean it's not dangerous

[analog sinew]

valid point

[umbral heron]

For example asbestos is too very common and very dangerous

[unkempt lake]

It's not that bad

Unless you crack open the wall

[analog sinew]

yeah asbestos is treated like its polonium or some shit

certainly not healthy and all but it doesnt kill you on sight

[umbral heron]

Neither does weeb furry

[unkempt lake]

I mean my old apartment had asbestos in it, so did my old house

As long as you're not renovating

Who gives a f

If you are renovating then yeah you'll have to deal about it

Like my dad did a few years back at some point

[halcyon moss]

Don't argue about anime though

[unkempt lake]

All depends on the type of exposure

[astral haven]

its like lead, theres no safe amount of it, while a small amount of asbestos does small amounts of damage, you always get lung damage, and it always sheds fibers

[analog sinew]

we are all leaded up to the gills tho

[unkempt lake]

If the asbestos is behind a wall and physically separated from you

You're fine

[analog sinew]

I wonder how much group 9 metals I contain

[unkempt lake]

It's only if lets say you crack yhat wall

[analog sinew]

I could be valuable ore

[astral haven]

common misconception
unless you have hepa filters on all air inputs and outputs from your crawlspace, its still getting out
the further it has to travel the better but the fibers are incredibly light and love to migrate

[astral haven]

doesnt make it good

[halcyon moss]

Worse level than copper?

[unkempt lake]

My dad did have hepa filters

Because i have had asthma since i was a child

[astral haven]

🤔

and im talking about the venting of your attic

[umbral heron]

Worst durability, fastest mining speed
Can mine dirt

[astral haven]

your dad probably hepa filtered the indoor air, and vented the asbestos outside

[unkempt lake]

Yeah that

But yeah the asbestos got removed at one point when he was doing big renovations

Werent allowed back at the house for a bit

I was a kid memory may be foggy

[astral haven]

we still have some stuck in some very unfortunate locations

[unkempt lake]

But yeah here as long as you dont renovate you dont have to remove it

[astral haven]

https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/biden-harris-administration-finalizes-ban-ongoing-uses-asbestos-protect-people-cancer

here in the us it wasnt even completely banned until this year

[unkempt lake]

Also took a while for it to get banned here (2018)

And even then

We still sold it to other nations until like... 2022 i think

And still some exceptions were allowed

Ah remember the days when we wanted to see the electronics instead of sheets of plastic

[reef patrol]

I love and hate this trend.

On one hand I love painting my motherboards in a safe way.

On the other hand they had to ruin those plans by not making it a flat surface.

It's also a bit too covered up imo.

[analog sinew]

you paint your mobo?

show

[reef patrol]

Nothing fancy. I take the covers and grime them up a bit, some scratches, cuts and black marks for an industrial look.

Cyberpunk themed PC and all.

[whole axle]

Would you take requests 👁️

Or or

The new msi board coming out

For amd

[whole axle]

How hard would it be to paint the yellow parts white?

In your opinion

[sharp badger]

Really like that B650E would like it to have a Debug display but eh

[lofty pivot]

why not just get the asrock one if you want white

[whole axle]

Not all white. Just small accents

I always do black builds

[reef patrol]

Depends on how they did it. Could probably rub off the yellow marking on that using IPA (Isopropyl alcohol), though it might also damage the black finish below, so you'd have to do more work to restore that.

[whole axle]

And if I have to have colors or anything I do white

[lofty pivot]

i like that they're doing taichi lite with none of the rgb stuff of the taichi

[whole axle]

Rip. The yellow isn’t bad looking but who does yellow…. 😭

[trim crane]

Z890 is Intel Core Ultra and LGA1851, before intel makes GS delete the vid LOL

[whole axle]

That’s the white one right?

[lofty pivot]

nah white is their non e line, steel legend and the pro wifi one

[whole axle]

Ah ok

Lemme look at that one then

As rock huh

I heard they were bad

[lofty pivot]

it's honestly pretty clean, although this time around E actually gets 2x prom21 so there is actually a difference between e and not e line

[lofty pivot]

they used to be long ago but nowadays it's flipped and asrock are the reputable one

[whole axle]

I just heard that for amd chips msi is the best board for performance

[lofty pivot]

msi is solid too

msi haven't shown whole lineup yet though, since none of their E boards have been shown

[whole axle]

Well personally I don’t care for the brand I just want the best performance

And tbh I can’t tell who is the best

💀

All I know is until Asus gets their stuff together don’t go with them

[lofty pivot]

asrock top end stuff is as good as msi and other these days, i'd just pick based on who offers the ports/option you want

like asrock flagship taichi isn't cheap, it's just as pricy as msi top end stuff

[whole axle]

Basically I just need Wi-Fi 7, usb speeds for 8k hz mouse, and usb for my wooting. And the obv best for amd chipset for performance

[lofty pivot]

motherboard performance is usually not that different in the mid range especially if you aren't overclocking stuff (and you don't overclock the x3d chips anyway)

so long as you go with any of the reputable brands in the mid range or above you'll be fine

[whole axle]

Ok cool

This upgrade will be my pc for the next 3/4 years so I don’t want to waste any performance by picking the wrong stuff lmaoo

That’s my problem is I don’t know enough the know what’s the “best”

Then I end up having to waste more money to get the right thing

Trying to avoid that this time

[trim crane]

asrock is really cool ngl ye

[whole axle]

Is the new chipset/boards gonna be 6000mhz cl30 still for the best memory or is it gonna be higher now?

[lofty pivot]

it's funny how asrock used to be the budget brand everyone avoided or meme'd on but now they're the reliable brand and asus are the ones shitting the bed

[lyric hatch]

was my first mobo

[reef patrol]

I don't remember what I had, only that everything had light blue PCBs at the time 😄

Of course I've had PCs since long, long before the days of 2000 series Intel, but that's the earliest one I remember building for myself.

[trim crane]

Z370-E Strix, when ASUS was goated

8700K and 1070Ti Strix

[lofty pivot]

My itx build is an ASRock now lol

[whole axle]

So basically msi and asrock. Avoid gigabyte and Asus

[lofty pivot]

I think my psu is finally tapping out trying to keep everything running at 650w

But need it to survive long enough for next gen cpu, psu with atx 3.1 and new motherboards to come out

[whole axle]

Ok yeah the Taichi looks amazing

I’m gonna do that

Based on price I might go with the lite tho

[sharp badger]

What case do you have?

[lofty pivot]

old modded nzxt h1

honestly I wouldn't do itx again. It's just paying more for more headaches and finding replacement compatible parts is a pain in the ass

had to throw in so many extra fans to keep it cool too. Just not worth the headache for tight spacing and cooling. Next case will just be north xl and have plenty of room for whatever I want

[thick elk]

Actually was more my first non oem system as well so I count it as my first one too.

3570k with that, delidded at some point and overclocked to 4.7ghz

[lime agate]

We definitely need more cat
Videos instead of bugfixes🫣

[ashen spindle]

Aren’t 3.1 psus out already?

[lofty pivot]

some, but a lot more are still 'soon'

[ashen spindle]

3.0 is ok some specs even tighter if you ignore the pinout for 12 pins xD and I don’t think I ever heard a case of the psi having issues and not the gpu connector

So I wouldn’t even say it’s better always

https://www.igorslab.de/en/should-you-buy-an-atx-v3-1-power-supply-now-or-is-atx-v3-0-enough-here-is-the-surprising-answer/ ah found what I was thinking about

Article guest is Aris who’s doing the cybenetics ratings

Im starting to build my zen5 list and just use my current psu model and a cheap b650 board since I don’t need more xD

[lofty pivot]

yeah i don't think it's a big deal 3 vs 3.1, but at this stage I have to wait for 9800x3d anyway so must as well wait for 3.1

i can't reuse old psu since it's 650w and already sometimes i get spikes that get sketchy

[ashen spindle]

Ah if you wait for the x3d fair enough

Okay maybe I do need a different psu since I see the seasonic focus series isn’t in stock anywhere lol

Oh damn and they all shot up in price compare to last year

[lofty pivot]

ssd went up again too, was cheap last time I looked i think it was last year but now prices back up

[ashen spindle]

Oh yeah

But that was expected sadly

Because they just drop production when it goes too cheap

[whole axle]

For a 8000 series GPU and 9800x3d will 850 v3.1 psu be enough or should I get 1000?

[halcyon moss]

Who knows. Nothing about that had been announced yet

[ashen spindle]

850 will be enough u less you want to OC

[whole axle]

What about 7900gre and 9000 series?

[ashen spindle]

I run my 4090 and 5600x on 750

[whole axle]

Maybe like auto overclock on ryzen master is all I would do

I ain’t gonna manual

[ashen spindle]

Yeah that’s not going to add much on cpu side anyway so that’ll be fine

[whole axle]

Cool I’ll get 850 then

Corsair is the most reliable?

[zenith silo]

ive had no issues with both my rm650x and rm850x

both my brothers and one of my buddies run the same ones just fine as well

[ashen spindle]

Nah there is a psu ranking you can take a look at, can’t link it right so will do that later if nobody posts it till I’m back

Psu tierlist of people that spend too much time on it so it’s accurate lol

[whole axle]

Well tier list won’t help since I’m waiting for the new ones lol

[ashen spindle]

They will be added and tested quite fast afterwards

[whole axle]

Damn they on it huh

I was gonna get the 2023 Corsair 850 but no reason to with the new ones coming out soon

Is it at the end of the year or closer?

[ashen spindle]

Also as in the article from earlier, not necessarily a better option than existing ones

[whole axle]

How is it not better? Just curious

[ashen spindle]

Check the article , cba typing it on phone

[whole axle]

So it’s basically the same with one different connection

If I read that right

[ashen spindle]

Yeah

[whole axle]

Eh newer is better in my eyes

3.1 it is

[halcyon moss]

Apparrantly you haven't lived long enough :p

[whole axle]

I mean I am 21 😭

[halcyon moss]

Eyy you are newer than me! :p

[whole axle]

This build is gonna be my next 4/5 year build so I’m trying to get all new stuff to “future proof” it if you will

[ashen spindle]

New stuff hasn’t proved itself to not break yet :p

That’s why I was looking at the same psu model I got before, has been working fine for ages and isn’t missing anything

[frozen ingot]

its far from useless, just not secure

being able to roll back in detail for days in my user timeline would be dope af, but I don't trust microsoft for a second with it

[ashen spindle]

[thick elk]

Intel has a serious problem on their hands with this one, hope they change their ways.

[merry osprey]

what is this

mt button do

[whole axle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V7Gyn6

Aight guys

Lemme know what should change

[reef patrol]

You tell us, it's your profile 😄

[analog sinew]

modtap

[reef patrol]

It's some kind of "one key if tapped, other key if held" bind

[balmy vector]

IMO not bad, i think you'd be able to get more storage at a similar price with a gen4 drive instead but otherwise i dont see anything wrong with this

but thats just my thoughts

[whole axle]

I just looked up fastest gen5 to "future proof"

[balmy vector]

gen4 is quite more than enough

[ashen spindle]

you can get 2tb gen4 for less than that

[whole axle]

sn850x or 990 pro?

[ashen spindle]

gen also has more heat so cooling is more of an issue while you dont get any benefit for gaming at all

either ones fine

[balmy vector]

[whole axle]

aight ill just get the faster one then

990 pro i think

do i need the heatsink?

[ashen spindle]

the board has one

[thick elk]

Realistically faster ssd's are pretty low on the priority list, as long as you get something decent.

For most workloads

[whole axle]

ok cool

[whole axle]

is the 1000 psu overkill?

also nzxt new psu gonna be good you think?

or should i stick to corsair

or someone else

ok i changed it a bit

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HmWHmD

Although idk how much of this will change

i do want the new x870 boards when they come out

and ryzen 9000x3d chips

and amd 8000 gpu

whenever those all come out

then my pc will be complete

[balmy vector]

looks good, i think you can still go with the xtx with an 850W

[whole axle]

Just dont know if the 400 extra is worth it

[dusky glacier]

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/bunnies-what-confused-meh-gif-12007368131756137942

[crimson wigeon]

The one that has the form factor you want

[lofty pivot]

A lot of the psu are made by same places and rebranded, but as long as you get one from a reputable brand you’re usually fine

Having extra room on your psu isn’t bad, I’d generally do it if it’s not a lot more since you keep your psu for many builds normally

[whole axle]

OK cool. I usually like to match brands so I will get the new Nzxt psus since imma use their pc case

[lofty pivot]

Nzxt is just a seasonic psu iirc

Either that or cwt, I forget which one

[whole axle]

They reputable?

[lofty pivot]

Yeah seasonic make some of the best psu and cwt make psu for a lot of the industry

[whole axle]

Bet

If Nzxt comes out with a new motherboard I might get that

They use asrock right?

The Nzxt motherboard just looks so clean

[lofty pivot]

No idea. Nzxt isn’t really a manu I’d put up high though

[reef patrol]

It changes.

NZXT has used several OEMs for both PSU and Motherboards.

[whole axle]

Is there anywhere that says which one?

[reef patrol]

Reviews.

[lofty pivot]

I like the aesthetic of their cases and even have an nzxt case for one of my pc but I wouldn’t buy motherboard from them over reputable brands

Personally fractal north has overtaken them as the aesthetic case choice for me

[sudden imp]

Saw their fan modules which I thought looked really clean

[lofty pivot]

yeah the kraken aio are really popular for the lcd, although i think a lot of other brands do lcd screens now

[pale sigil]

The latency is killing me

[sudden imp]

Did you see the screen that bends to cover a right angle?

[halcyon moss]

Are you playing a game?

[frozen ingot]

186 ping is horrible even by early 00s standards

[pale sigil]

Yes

Streaming from my desktop

[unkempt lake]

I don't even know how you manage

Just on the steam deck streaming from my pc if it accidentally connects to 2.4ghz instead of 5ghz I'm like ewwww this is unplayable

[halcyon moss]

I tried it from a pc to laptop.. Artifacting was terrible and latency not nice...

But this was in the Nvidia 970 days, I hope it improved a lot in between

[unkempt lake]

Over a good wifi connection with the deck or a laptop and with your rig plugged into ethernet it's pretty good

I use my apple tv to put games on my tv downstairs

[pale sigil]

It's pretty good over my WiFi at home

Tbh you kinda get used to the latency and compensate for it.

But it very much depends on the game, for example destiny 2 isn't that bad.

[sudden imp]

Back connectors are really growing on me

This looks so cleaaann

[final flame]

Finally it'll kill the rgb cable trend

[analog sinew]

theyll put rgb stripes there then

[sudden imp]

When problems can be introduced let’s introduce them!!!!

[frozen ingot]

screaming white case with huge glass panels and gaudy pink rgb fans, clean indeed

[sudden imp]

It’s fun

Maybe not clean

It’s all preference

[zenith silo]

Lol, my main desktop only works on 2.4g because our router is dogshit

Love playing apex with 2.4ghz.... yippie so fun

[unkempt lake]

But then you used a 240hz monitor

confused noises

Just buy a better router xD

[zenith silo]

I can't change my internet

[unkempt lake]

Route a cable

[unkempt lake]

Why not

[zenith silo]

Because I'm not paying for it💀

[unkempt lake]

Doesn't mean you couldn't just plug in your own router

To the modem

Repurpose the second one as an access point

A decent router isn't super expensive

[zenith silo]

Pretty sure ours is a modem/router all in one

[unkempt lake]

You can just disable the built in router

Bridge mode

[fair gull]

vm install so slow

[zenith silo]

The main issue is the fact that I'm at the worst place in our house for internet

So it forces 2.4ghz because it's so far and has so many walls in the way

[fair gull]

time to get wifi repeaters

or a dedicated AP and ethernet cable

[zenith silo]

And shaws wifi pods literally do nothing at all

Matter of fact they made us have to factory reset our Internet when we tried setting it up

It soft bricked our router

[unkempt lake]

Disable band steering

[unkempt lake]

Are they plume superpods by any chance?

No clue what shaw offers we dont have them in quebec

[zenith silo]

I think they are ignite pods

[zenith silo]

We don't have an option for this, only to make each channel it's own different wifi you need to manually connect to

And that kinda fucks over most of our other devices

[unkempt lake]

Just disable the erouter

Set up your own

If it's too restrictive

Everyone can benefit

Notnjust you

Yes you don't pay for it but i'm pretty sure everyone will be happy

About the changes

[zenith silo]

Nah I'm the only one with any issues

But when I can afford a new router I might give it a go

[unkempt lake]

Also

Are your pods wired

Or wireless

[zenith silo]

Wireless

[unkempt lake]

Wire them

[zenith silo]

But I can plug Ethernet into them (doesn't change anything)

[unkempt lake]

I'm saying wire them to your router

Also their placement may not be ideal in your home

[zenith silo]

There isn't a single place ideal for them

[unkempt lake]

Idk how many walls you got or what materials everything is made out of

[zenith silo]

And unless we put them 5ft from the router we can't just run a 90ft Ethernet across our floor

[zenith silo]

It's a rental and it's a big house with lots of walls

[unkempt lake]

I mean you could drill a small hole that can easily be plastered over when you move out

[zenith silo]

Parents won't do that for me

[unkempt lake]

...

[zenith silo]

If it was something for them no hesitation

[unkempt lake]

Could use Powerline?

[zenith silo]

Power line? Is that like coax?

[unkempt lake]

No

It uses your house's electrical wiring

As ethernet basically

Plug it into an outlet close to your router connect an ethernet cable

Then plug another one in your room

Won't be as good as straight up ethernet but it will be miles better than wifi

@zenith silo does this help you understand

[zenith silo]

Yeah I get it

I'll look into that

[unkempt lake]

Prob ur best bet

They're also not too expensive either

[zenith silo]

Probably my only option aside from figuring out how to make Shaw's pods actually do anything

[whole axle]

Powerline setup? I heard those were bad a while ago

[zenith silo]

Better than 2.4ghz wifi probably

[unkempt lake]

If your wiring is awful in your house possibly

But it will def beat out 2.4ghz wifi

[whole axle]

Damn should I do it 😭

[unkempt lake]

We talking about a house from hell with poopy parents and awful wifi interference

[whole axle]

It’s that or run a 25ft Ethernet cable from my room to the living room

[zenith silo]

Basically

[unkempt lake]

Ethernet is better if you can but

Powerline is technically a super easy option

All depends on your living situation

[umbral heron]

Do like I did few years back
My parents didn't want to drill several small holes for me to pass ethernet to my room
So I bought 20 meter cable and passed straight through the middle of the house
Took them 3 days of tripping on it to finally drill the holes

[zenith silo]

They would just unplug/cut the cable

[unkempt lake]

^^*

[whole axle]

See for me I do live with my parents rn

But I pay the internet

So like

Plus with where my room is I can run it along the bottom of the wall the entire time

It would cross the floor

Wouldn’t

What’s the best powerline adapter?

[unkempt lake]

Make sure it matches the color of the wall and buy proper clips for it and it will look clean

[whole axle]

Easy I’ll use staples for the wall

[unkempt lake]

But powerline would be ez pz

No effort

Worst case if it doesn't work well enough with your wiring

You return it

😛

[whole axle]

Hmmm

Which one do I get tho

What’s the best

[unkempt lake]

Well idk your price range or anything

[whole axle]

What is usually the range

They vary at?

[unkempt lake]

Also what do you need speed wise

[whole axle]

Like this is the “best” I found I guess

[umbral heron]

$30~40 for a pair of TL-PA4010KIT

[whole axle]

I have att fiber 1gig

[unkempt lake]

But do you need 2gbps networking? Does your pc even support it

[fair gull]

oh no powerline

[whole axle]

Idk

[whole axle]

See

I said that too 💀

[umbral heron]

https://www.amazon.com/Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter-Extender-TP-Link/dp/B084CZMYNM

[unkempt lake]

If his wiring is ass in his house he can just return it

[fair gull]

its not just the wiring

anything plugged in on the same circuit that feeds back weird frequency noise can cause issues

like literally anything

[unkempt lake]

Most appliances run on separate circuits

[fair gull]

depends on how the house is setup

[zenith silo]

Laughs in my houses wiring

[whole axle]

The house was built this year so I’d hope it’s not ass

[unkempt lake]

Which is why it doesn't work out he can always return it

[fair gull]

yeah he cant if he buys smth new in a few months and then it fucks with the powerline

[unkempt lake]

Doesn't cost anything to try especially if they're stuck with shitty parents who won't let them route a cable

Powerline is hit or miss dependig on the house's setup

[fair gull]

and on all devices plugged in

its not just the houses setup

[whole axle]

So like I pay the internet that can’t really say anything if I do the whole Ethernet setup 💀💀💀

Also is cat8 needed or is cat6 fine?

Cuz like cat6 cheap

[zenith silo]

I don't think cat8 is needed unless you wanna do like 5+gbps no?

[fair gull]

cat6 can do 1gbps

[whole axle]

Ok so that Ethernet cable is completely fine?

[unkempt lake]

ye its fine for the speeds he has

[fair gull]

i think it can even do 10gbps

[unkempt lake]

@whole axle get a color that matches the wall

Or it will be an eyesore

[whole axle]

That’ll cost way more…

[unkempt lake]

Since you're not drilling holes and will tack it onto the wall

[unkempt lake]

not like it's the kinda thing you need yo replace often

Just do it once

But do it right

Ya know?

[whole axle]

Only other one is grey

And the wall is weird

It’s white on one side

And dark blue on the other

Maybe I should just take a picture 😭

[fair gull]

i mean do it once do it right would mean glueing or screwing cable channels to the walls/ceilings and properly route the cable with expandability and easily replacability

[unkempt lake]

@fair gull i get that powerline aint ideal but you gotta consider the circumstances here

[fair gull]

im in basically similar circumstances and id rather suffer wifi than use powerline

as im doing rn

[unkempt lake]

well i've seen powerline work well in some cases

[zenith silo]

My house is wired like a nightmare

[unkempt lake]

All depends on the house and the layout

[fair gull]

same but after nearly 8yrs of having been in the field and trying to make powerline work well i gave up

[zenith silo]

Probably just gonna hopefully figure out how to make Shaw's ignite pods work

[fair gull]

and like i said twice now its not just the house and the layout

literally any appliance plugged in and/or turned on can cause it to make powerline iffy

[unkempt lake]

Well do they even have any appliances that could cause that issue in between

We don't know

[fair gull]

yes but even if they dont any new purchase can fudge it

thats the entire issue of powerline

it works as long as nothing changes

[unkempt lake]

Worst case it's 50$ down the drain

And it can still be repurposed elsewhere

[ashen spindle]

might as well just do wifi and not bother with it imo

[fair gull]

exactly

[umbral heron]

Does your router/ap support 5ghz? if so, then maybe get a wi-fi card then

[fair gull]

i just invest in good wifi coverage at this point and am quite happy with it

[unkempt lake]

He's using the isp router...

Band steering forced on

[zenith silo]

Its Shaw's best offered router

[unkempt lake]

Can't turn it off

I told him to get a router and turn off the erouter

XD

[umbral heron]

So it should push him to 5GHz regardless then

[unkempt lake]

Too far too many walls

Switches to 2.4

[zenith silo]

I think because of the distance and amount of walls it's mostly 2.4

[unkempt lake]

Too much interference

[fair gull]

the client can just... not support 2.4ghz

[umbral heron]

Ah
Repeater then

[fair gull]

a laptop/pc wifi card can literally force itself into either 2.4 or 5ghz

no matter if band steering is on or off

[unkempt lake]

You know what you're right hadn't thought about making him do that

[fair gull]

literally how i work around the dumb bandsteering of my isp router

cause i havent setup my unifi router and APs yet

[zenith silo]

How would I go about trying that

[unkempt lake]

He has some but i think they're misplaced around his house or something

Cuz the repeaters themselves are on 2.4

From what he told me

[zenith silo]

The one time it actually setup it did nothing

We tried multiple locations but eventually the thing soft bricked itself and our main router

Haven't set it up since

[umbral heron]

Have you considered an exorcist at this point?

[fair gull]

Device Manager > Network adapters > Double click the wireless one of your PC/Laptop > Advanced > select the 2.4G or 5G mode and then set the value to disabled of whichever you wanna disable.

bish bosh your device is automatically only connecting to this one band

cause its not dual band anymore

dont ask me how to do it on linux i wouldnt know but its prob possible

[reef patrol]

Next you'll tell me you picked jumbo packets.

[fair gull]

no wambo packets

also if i dont force 5GHz only i constantly switch between 2.4 and 5 causing massive issues when watching videos or playing online games. only way is i force myself into either of them

made me remember why i hate ISP routers

[reef patrol]

So glad mine can be turned into a dumb modem 😄

[fair gull]

not even that for mine

[zenith silo]

so i dont have a 2.4g/5g wireless mode option but i have this

the channel width idk what its for but this is what it has

[zenith silo]

im assuming this might be what im looking for though?

[fair gull]

no the top 2 are right

you basically wouldnt want any of a/b/g/n

and just use ac/ax

[zenith silo]

K I'll set both to that and see how much better it is

Thanks Tony

[fair gull]

btw setting the top one to 5ghz 802.11a should also be pure 5ghz from some newer standard to reexpand the old standards to 5ghz

its some outside standard for connecting on campuses and such basically

[umbral heron]

Pretty much the same way on networkmanager
One line of config for systemd-networkd

[whole axle]

I have ax, ac, n, and a/b/g

which do i pick?

[fair gull]

if you cant just select a from a/b/g ideally just ac and ax

those are pure 5ghz standards

[whole axle]

aight ill stick to ax then

and for the channel bandwidths it has auto or 20mhz only

do i keep all 3 at auto?

[fair gull]

ax is for wifi6 so make sure your wifi base/router supports it

the channel width just keep auto

dont mess with the rest unless you can fine tune the base and clients

and also ofc know what youre even doing with those

[whole axle]

Preferred band i have 2.4, 5, or 6

or no preference

[fair gull]

ideally youd prefer 5

[whole axle]

or really not 6?

oh*

[fair gull]

if youre router supports it you can but the higher the GHz the less distance it can cover

also less wall penetration

[whole axle]

Last setting i have is romain agressiveness. default is at medium low

[fair gull]

if you go with a 5ghz or 6ghz only setup make sure your client is even covered wifi wise

just leave roaming at default

[whole axle]

Yeah mine supports wifi 6 and my router is literally on the other side of my wall (i positioned it to be like that)

idk

but im heavily considering just going to best buy rq and getting the ethernet cable lol

oh also what is the metered connection setting and should i have it on?

[fair gull]

then you can trying wifi 6

and not the 5

[umbral heron]

Helps a bit with Windows' background shenanigans

[fair gull]

no

just no

if you have windows issue due to updates or such sucking internet at some point just disable those specifically

[umbral heron]

Isn't WiFi 7 also 6GHz?

[fair gull]

i dont trust router/mode/wifi combo units

assumes you got a modem/ont

lots of ISPs in europe like giving our router/modem combos and not pure modems

[whole axle]

For Ethernet the ISP router is fine right? I don’t need a new router

[random prairie]

ISP routers are bad at Wi-Fi, for wired it shouldn't matter

[lyric hatch]

really depends on the ISP, at least here not all of the options are terrible

[whole axle]

My isp is att fiber

i dont know anything about routers

or ethernet

[lyric hatch]

well, i'd suggest using ethernet if you can to your desktop. If you're having issues with slow wifi on your other devices then upgrade your router

[random prairie]

wired/ethernet is the best (lowest ping + most stable/connectivity + fastest speeds)

go for cat6a ethernet cables from monoprice

[umbral heron]

Cat5e is enough for 1gbit
And much cheaper too

[whole axle]

Best Buy only got cat6

Any other cat and I have to order from Amazon

Pretty cheap too

[umbral heron]

Cat6 will do too

[whole axle]

Aight imma pull the trigger

I hope 25’ is enough

[umbral heron]

That's feet or inches?

[whole axle]

Feet

I’d hope 💀

[umbral heron]

Ah, ok

[whole axle]

Yeah feet

So it says the max is 1gig

And my internet is 1gig

Will that be an issue

Having no headroom?

And the connector type is RJ45 is that matters

[ashen spindle]

thats all fine

[whole axle]

24k gold plating good too?

[ashen spindle]

gold plated cables is just marketing scam

[whole axle]

Ah gotcha

[ashen spindle]

if its not costing more its w/e but never pay more for it

[whole axle]

Gotcha

Big upgrades bois

[umbral heron]

There's no headroom
1000BASE is 1000BASE

[whole axle]

Gotcha

Just didn’t know if like having more headroom was better for the connection?

What’s the difference between a router and a modem?

[umbral heron]

Cat6 to up to 50m can support 10Gbit connection, so plenty of headroom

[reef patrol]

Modem takes the outside connection and turns it into one, local connection.
Your router takes that one connection and spreads it out to more devices in your home, wired and wireless.

In a nutshell.

[whole axle]

Ah ok cool

[whole axle]

So a modem is not used in houses usually?

You would only really see routers

[reef patrol]

Most ISP gear is a combined modem and router - aka. a "gateway"

[umbral heron]

Also throw in wifi AP on top of that

[reef patrol]

Though you can get lucky and receive both a modem (especially with fiber) and a router separately.

[whole axle]

Damn

My fiber didn’t

I only got one

Assuming that’s a router

Wi-Fi 7 vs Ethernet

Ethernet wins everytime right

[reef patrol]

I have a flat ethernet cable going from my bedroom, through the living room and into my office, covered by small carpets. Just so I don't have to deal with wifi equipment put in a metal and concrete technicians closet.

[empty wren]

You gonna plug an Ethernet cord through a dongle on your phone?

[reef patrol]

Practically unusable Wifi.

[whole axle]

I’m talking about for my pc.

Ok yeah I have a gateway

[empty wren]

Is that normal, for it to be in concrete not like in a closet or a extra room?

[reef patrol]

To be this enclosed is kind of unusual - But I guess there's a reason why every ISP always offers 2-3 "free" wifi repeater cubes with every subscription these days.

I refuse to conform to such bad practices.

[empty wren]

I remember my high school had repeaters in the form of routers

[whole axle]

But in terms of performance has Wi-Fi caught up or is Ethernet still superior

[reef patrol]

Wifi will never "catch up", since it has to deal with things in the air.

[whole axle]

Ah ok

[reef patrol]

A cable doesn't receive remotely the same level of interference or has to deal with wall materials and so on.

[whole axle]

Yeah that’s fair

[reef patrol]

Wifi 6,7 or 8 - Doesn't matter. A cable will always have a more stable connection with less potential for data loss.

Doesn't matter as much for Netflix, since it buffers. But if you're playing an online game? Oofda

[empty wren]

Power line adapters or whatever they do, but not directly from router.

[reef patrol]

Those rarely work here due to how our breakers are set up.

[whole axle]

OK cool I’ve never used Ethernet so this should be cool. Wonder if I’ll notice a difference

[empty wren]

Interesting

[reef patrol]

I've sold so many of those adaptors, only to have to take them back within a week from customers.

[empty wren]

At very least the speed should be consistent

[empty wren]

Figures

[reef patrol]

We've kind of reached a point here where you either get internet and cable TV together through coax, fiber for high speed "influencer friendly" internet or a simple 5G router for "I just need to watch Netflix and doomscroll" 😄

[empty wren]

5G to wifi is great, but at least here such routers are locked down. On the upside can put them in the same room as where you are for the strongest connection.

[ashen spindle]

[whole axle]

Ethernet Speeds

do i need to change any of these settings?

There is a lot LMAO

[ashen spindle]

no

[whole axle]

Just leave it default?

[fair gull]

pls dont randomly change your ethernet settings. just leave em as is

[whole axle]

I just didn’t know If there were any that make a difference

I won’t touch em 👍

[ashen spindle]

default stuff on things is usually made to work

[whole axle]

Sounds good

[fair gull]

had to virsh destroy this one cause apparently 2 vcpu and 4GiB ram isnt enough

That saves motherboard space for other components. Second, CAMM2 modules can provide dual-channel performance equivalent to two DIMMs from only module. For a small form factor (SFF) motherboard, that could save much-needed space without compromising on performance. Finally, we’re interested in the high capacity of CAMM2, especially compared to SO-DIMM. With next-gen 32Gb DRAM chips, CAMM2 could reach a max capacity of 128GB per module.”

Saw this on Asus’s article so there are advantages to CAM becoming a standard.

There are some things there that can potentially improve your network connection, as there is no "perfect solution" for everyone. You should read about what each setting does and decide for yourself if you need that or not. Default doesn't mean good in any way.

[whole axle]

This is amazing thank you!

There is so much info

[dawn yarrow]

The author put his recommended settings in the Addendum section, but in general, I still advise you to read it yourself with his reasoning.

[whole axle]

bet ty

[halcyon moss]

Heic is better than jpg

And discord used to handle it fine.. But recently not anymore

[whole axle]

I just put his recommended. I read thru it all but yeah he did a good job with recommened i didnt need to change anything

Look for optimizer on GitHub and for OOSU10

[whole axle]

kk

[whole axle]

For the OOSU10 can i just set the recommend settings and be good?

[dawn yarrow]

Yep

It's more of an anti spyware & telemetry than optimizer

But I guess it will help your network a lil bit

[whole axle]

kk

[dawn yarrow]

Since it won't be busy sending all of your data to big daddy Microsoft

[whole axle]

Is there a specific optimizer you are talking about

for github?

@dawn yarrow

[dawn yarrow]

I think his name was something like hellzerg

it has many stars on GitHub

[whole axle]

kk

[whole axle]

Well he didnt have recommended settings so hopefully i didnt mess anything up lmaoo

I was hoping he'd make a Recall video!

[digital cliff]

I asked before but nobody pinged me for the response so I forgot but what is recall

[crimson wigeon]

It records everything you do on your computor so you can then ask AI about it

[digital cliff]

sounds like a great idea

love being watched

Updated build

What we think

And yes I know some of those parts are overkill. I’m like future proofing this thing to the max

[ashen spindle]

it's better to not spend money on something that doesnt do anything for you and use that for new stuff vs futureproofing

like the ssd is just costing double what you can pay for fast 2tb and you wont ever get a benefit

[whole axle]

Well the only thing I’d change in that is the 7000 series for the 9000 series when it comes out. And the motherboard for the x870e when they come out.

Well if the board has pcie 5 I might as well use it

And get the fastest

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah DirectStorage man

[ashen spindle]

no you are literally just wasting money to have a higher number that doesnt change anything

like gen4 ssd is already future proofing because that doesnt even get used in games or anything

[whole axle]

Well if it’s not that then I would get the 2tb sn850x

[analog sinew]

MS be like

[digital cliff]

"what do you think of my build"
"your build is stupid"
"no"

[whole axle]

No im not trying to be like F off or anything. Im just trying to figure out why pcie 5 sucks I guess? Everyone says it does but I still don’t get it cuz 14gbps read is crazy fast

[ashen spindle]

psu you also want to make smaller because sure you can just throw 10kW at it and never need to upgrade, but that runs them at lower efficency if you dont hit their sweet spot

ideally you would want to run psus at 50% load, much lower drops the efficency a lot and just means you use more electricity for nothing

[whole axle]

So for that build I would need a 850 or 1000?

[ashen spindle]

and pcie gen5 just sucks from consumer point because it makes the product more expensive, it gets warmer and the faster theoretical! speeds just dont get hit in anything desktop
