[fair gull]

any good budget gaming cpus you can recommend

budget for de

building for a friend rn

[ashen spindle]

no I mean some of the assassins are just not budget in some areas idk why

how low budget

[fair gull]

yes and i mean it needs to be affordable in germany

not suddenly cost 60eur

im talking hartz iv kinda budget

[ashen spindle]

well I mean take any assassin on geizhals and whatever is the cheapest atm

so like, 8600g and no dGPU?

[fair gull]

alle gleich lol

gtx 970 gpu

they already have that

but their fx-8350 just is uh

yes

[ashen spindle]

I mean, could get a 8600g for integrated gpu and use the box cooler

the 7600 (nonx) comes with a wraith cooler and that works

so 180 for cpu+cooler

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/AMD-Ryzen-5-7600-6x-3-80GHz-So-AM5-BOX_1476281.html

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/Intel-Core-i3-12100F-4x-3-30GHz-So-1700-TRAY_1444379.html if you want to go lowest budget

[fair gull]

what was the smaller noctua? d14?

[ashen spindle]

u12

but that aint budget

[fair gull]

yeah he shared plans and im just trying to see how to improve his plans

[ashen spindle]

the low profile ones are a bit cheaper but I really would say just got with a free boxed cooler at this price point

[fair gull]

and meet in the middle so to say

apparently he got a car he doesnt need anymore and might sell it for a pc

[gusty kiln]

lol PC for a car

[ashen spindle]

7800x3d it is then xD

[fair gull]

he moved to a big city and only uses trems now

he hasnt used it in a year apparently

imo a good trade

sell car get tons of cash. buy pc and pay rent etc

[gusty kiln]

would prob cost 100s to clean and make it usable

[fair gull]

especially since he got no job rn

[fair gull]

doesnt matter to polish buyers

they buy them and usually take em apart for parts

or just run em down by driving them to shit

[gusty kiln]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C76XLPCW?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1#customerReviews

dual fan thermalright cooler

should be enough for a 7800X3D for $23

[fair gull]

we arent talking 7800x3d

[gusty kiln]

then what

[fair gull]

most likely a 7600 or 8600g

they also apparently just have a d15 from 2018

[gusty kiln]

oh nice, 7600 should be cheaper

unless 9600 isn't 299 again

lol, the 7600X is cheaper than the 7600 at microcenter. 160 vs 180

I guess people are willing to pay for no hassle low temps

[unkempt lake]

U12A i love mine

[ashen spindle]

its also simply not budget

[unkempt lake]

True

I hadn't read everything beforei answered also hi @ashen spindle how you doing today

[whole axle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TbgbbL

w build. also 7900xtx at $869

[ashen spindle]

unusual cooler

and hi just doing like any normal sunday

[whole axle]

The cooler is super cool!

[ashen spindle]

fair enough if it's chosen for looks

[gusty kiln]

but bordline under sized

[whole axle]

For the 7800x3d?

[gusty kiln]

it'll work but I think it would run at like 80+ C

[whole axle]

I like how its flush thats super cool to me and it shows the same performance as the bigger ones they have

[ashen spindle]

its much smaller so the fan will ramp up more/it gets hotter

[whole axle]

its noctua surely itll be fineeeeeeee

[ashen spindle]

the brand name doesnt change how much a smaller finstack can cool

[whole axle]

Lemme go watch a vid on it

rq

[ashen spindle]

less metal means less chance to soak up heat its quite simple

like if it would perform the same nobody would just take a cooler thrice the size xD

[whole axle]

Yeah no tests with the x3d

and ig noctua said its good for 65 watt cpus

rip

low profile looked so clean

[ashen spindle]

its not a small case so it's not like you do anything with the saved space

[whole axle]

Yeah but air coolers are bulky af lmao

[ashen spindle]

get the peerless asassins or u12 if its noctua, not everything is a NHD15

[whole axle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QvvD4D/noctua-nh-l9x65-chromaxblack-3384-cfm-cpu-cooler-nh-l9x65-chromaxblack

What about this one?

way bigger still LP

[ashen spindle]

I mean it will work you will just have the fan be louder for the same heatload than if you were to use a peerless asassin

assuming it can fully sustain max performance

for something you wont look at while you use it anyway

[whole axle]

Well the only thing with the PA

is its not like blackout black LMAOOO ik thats dumb

[ashen spindle]

then get a black u12 or dark rock pro or some black tower cooler

[whole axle]

And i heard noctua was better

[ashen spindle]

yeah a D15 is better

but also costs like 3 times as much

[whole axle]

Yeah lmao

what about the u12s

hella ratings

[ashen spindle]

that ones fine

[whole axle]

Well actually i should prob get the better one

[gusty kiln]

thermalright has a AIO for like 60

[whole axle]

cuz i am going to the 9800x3d

air > aio

[ashen spindle]

I have the U12 for the 7800x3d and that's completely fine

will be fine for the 9800x3d too

[gusty kiln]

https://amz.run/9PKq

kinda hard to beat a 360 AIO for 54

[whole axle]

AIO has hella problems long run vs air coolers no

[balmy vector]

oh yeah i saw a vid on that one

[ashen spindle]

yeah its a good choice for cheap AiO but I just dont see the point when the PA exists

you dont get more performance but you get to deal with an AIO over a small aircooler

if you simply prefer it sure, but for long term use not really a benefit to have more potential issues imo

[whole axle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YxVmP6/thermalright-peerless-assassin-120-black-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-pa120-black

well shit gg

[ashen spindle]

there you go, full black

[whole axle]

idk all i heard was noctuas sound profile sounds way better?

not sure what that means for cooling lmao

[gusty kiln]

you can replace the fans down the line

or use Arctic P12 max

[ashen spindle]

just means how the sound is from the fan but you can replace them or just change the curve

like even a silent fan can have an annoying pitch or something like that, noise can bother you even if its not loud

[whole axle]

oh so i can just put noctua fans in if i wanted? LMAO

[ashen spindle]

for example yes

[whole axle]

oh bet

and the PA is like the goat of coolers im assuming

[ashen spindle]

you dont get anything close to it for the money

[whole axle]

bet

[ashen spindle]

as GN said in their last video people dont understand how they get their products to be so cheap haha

[whole axle]

Ah if GN said its good

i trust

Whats the goat SSD

sn850x?

[ashen spindle]

ye

[whole axle]

bet

i figured

2tb for $150

w

or should i do two 1tb

[gusty kiln]

boot drive or just extra storage?

[whole axle]

one for os, one for games

i heard doing that helps

or sum im not exactly sure

[ashen spindle]

makes no difference these days

[whole axle]

ok so i can just get the 2tb

[ashen spindle]

yeah more cost effective

[lyric hatch]

Nvme so much cheaper nowadays

Definitely paid some early adopter tax back then

[whole axle]

I was gonna either get 1 sn850x, or 2 of them

[gusty kiln]

just buy a nice gen4 nvme with cache for boot drive, then whatever cheapest per TB for the rest

[whole axle]

also does the 990pro offer anything better?

[ashen spindle]

Nah

All gen4 ssds are fast enough they won’t really make any difference in loading times and stuff anymore

[lyric hatch]

Theoretically faster, not that you would notice

[whole axle]

I just want reliable and fast and some brand that doesnt sound like a made up name LMAO

[lyric hatch]

Western digital isn't exactly new to the scene

[final flame]

so get something from samsung or crucial

[final flame]

WD has been having issues with their portable ssds

[gusty kiln]

crucial T5, for boot, then crucial P3 for the rest

[lyric hatch]

Wouldn't worry about it if you're just gaming

[final flame]

their portable drives have all been having really high failure rates

wouldn't personally trust them after that

[lyric hatch]

And the 990 needs firmware updates because of some serious issues

[final flame]

it's something that can be fixed immediatly though

unlike a drive that is just waiting to fail

[lyric hatch]

You're talking about external drives though

[whole axle]

If i get samsung it would be the 990 pro, for WD sn850x, for crucial t705

[final flame]

they use the same chips regardless

https://www.zdnet.com/article/check-your-ssds-what-to-know-about-the-sandiskwestern-digital-data-loss-disaster/

[gusty kiln]

https://amz.run/9PLP
https://amz.run/9PLR

ez pz

[whole axle]

gen3

nahhh id rather get 2 t500

[gusty kiln]

doesn't matter much outside of boot

[lyric hatch]

I ain't ever heard of anyone having issues with the sn850x and the article only mentions external drives

[ashen spindle]

Sn850x is the go to drive because it’s best price and just works

[whole axle]

t500 is $5 cheaper

[lyric hatch]

Save $80 get the sn850x

Comes with a 5 year warranty anyway

[whole axle]

vs what>?

[lyric hatch]

The 990 pro

[whole axle]

oh i heard their shit was fried

im good on that

im talking about the t500 vs sn850x now

[ashen spindle]

Works too, just get whatever capacity you want and whatever from these brands is the cheapest

[whole axle]

well t500 2tb is $5 cheaper

so im doing that

[lyric hatch]

I mean it's fixed if you get the firmware update but I wouldn't spend the extra $80 unless you were doing something that needed a super fast nvme

[whole axle]

so when i wanna upgrade to pcie5 for no reason at all i can get the t705 lmao

[gusty kiln]

you can buy whatever you want for the boot drive

but don't overspend after that

[whole axle]

im just gonna get one 2tb t500

call it a day

thatll be fine

then once i get some more whatever adult money ill just upgrade to the newest shit

no reason other than why not lmao

[unkempt lake]

I got an SN770 1tb on clearance for like 80cad brand new recently it's kinda being phased out and honestly for the price i was like why not. That's also a good alternative if it's cheap enough yeah it's not as fast damn it was a good value

Didn't really need the extra speed from the 850x and saving 55cad seemed appealing 😛

All depends on your workload really, makes a fine boot drive and stores some games

@balmy vector i spy with my little eyes

A separatedmango typing

YOU CANT HIDE FROM ME

I AM INEVITABLE

[balmy vector]

I grabbed a p3 plus 2tb for below 100 us months ago

[unkempt lake]

Maybe i should have put my price in USD

58usd

[balmy vector]

Also really good

[unkempt lake]

for a 1tb sn770 that's a nice deal

Not the fastest but for that price no complains

[digital cliff]

just not the NV2 recently RMAd mine because it just fails, looks like plenty of others have the same issue

works for a couple months then it just keeps freezing and you can't get anything in or out

[atomic dragon]

Nah it's called the artic liquid freezer

Yes it's 2x the price but 100 is still cheap and their 360 beats even a alot of 420's and is da best

[old marlin]

Is a thicker rad

Has offset mounting for amd

And has 6 years of warranty

[fickle ore]

1 TB 905p on discount is faster than any regular SSD pretty much

if money is no issue then p5800x

[golden girder]

@uneven sandal About the Windows Performance Analyzer...

I tried the command you mentioned:
wpr -start power
wpr -stop c:\temp\power.etl

But while I manually disconnected a USB device I can't see anything directly related to a USB device. I only see an activity for the audio devices.

When I use the GUI for the recorder I do see the USB devices but I don't see that these were disconnected at some point.

[umbral heron]

Motherboard just arrived
Now I only need to get a CPU

[woven laurel]

[ashen spindle]

a cpu? can give you a 8600k slightly used

[old marlin]

sounds like a good use piece of tech for a proxmox system

[steep creek]

it was grub, i don’t know how or why but grub decided to disappear

[umbral heron]

Ah, classic

Let me introduce:

unfuck-grub(){
    sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --efi-directory=/boot && \
    sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}

[steep creek]

haha that’s nice, thanks i’ll save it for next time

[umbral heron]

Here are my aliases if you're interested in that

[steep creek]

very helpful

will take a look once i’m at my computer

[umbral heron]

Better

[fair gull]

time to use nmbl

[umbral heron]

Yeah, idea is really nice
And quite logical given EFI is a bootloader in and of itself

[ashen spindle]

smh skipping yang for winter

[wheat plume]

OMFH I'm saving this

[umbral heron]

yang used to be my proxmox node
It's going to be again, but I'm moving it from a Thinkcentre to DL380p g8 and have to order some parts for it

[ashen spindle]

oh having proxmox issues?

[umbral heron]

For once I don't have any issues with my cluster at home
At work however it's quite a different story

But at work we got 2 more nodes lately

[fair gull]

time to play ffxiv on those juicy cpu cores idling

[umbral heron]

Damn you Debian
What do you mean there's no php7.4 in deb12 repos?!

[fair gull]

8.2 only

7.4 is oldstable

[whole axle]

Anyone know best place to sell pc/pc setup and Apple Watch?

[fair gull]

pawn shop

or ebay/craigslist/gumtree/marktplaats

whatever your local trade platform is called

[whole axle]

Pawn shop gonna rip me off or nah

[fair gull]

prob

they are in for profit

[whole axle]

True lol

[fair gull]

but they are easier to sell to than private buyers often

so it depends on if you wanna put in the extra work of putting this stuff on a platform and selling it yourself

or not

[whole axle]

Hmm

I guess Facebook marketplace

eBay, Craigslist

Cuz I got some motorcycle gear to sell too

Time to make chatgpt make me a post

[fair gull]

if you take the bit of time to make decent pictures and decent listings you can easily sell it yourself

also scout what they sold for in the past to get a gauge on what you can ask for it

[whole axle]

I’ll probably make more

I’d assume

Yeah I have a rough idea of what I want for each one based on what people are selling there’s for

[fair gull]

dont look at whats still being sold

look at already sold listings

[whole axle]

Ah gotcha

[fair gull]

because the open listings are more what the seller wants while the already sold listings show what people actually pay for it

[whole axle]

Makes sense

Tyty

[tender scarab]

Ty for the share will get added to mine :p

[umbral heron]

[halcyon moss]

its not wrong

[umbral heron]

To compare AI generative models to an invention of microprocessor?

[steep creek]

cnc just posted a video too

https://youtu.be/YoZ0hP9mkU4?si=pdUPWdXQQ09TOeLF

[halcyon moss]

its even more disrupting

[ashen spindle]

yeah zen tech day just ended, didnt post that one here since it goes a bit more indepth than I assume most people can follow haha

[steep creek]

ah fair

[fair gull]

when i read chips and cheese all i could think of was james may with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or4IE8fkpn4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYWtP4tZe30

[steep creek]

lmao how come i haven’t seen this before

good match

[wheat plume]

Yes, but humans are not good decision makers....

[mellow arrow]

anyone here know why this might be happening? I thought it was because I was using another mouse to input the key combinations, and that it had actually registered the keys as forward and back, but no. I tried using an old keyboard that has those keys and it does the same thing, so now I'm stuck.

in notepad I was trying to use them but it wasn't working. It works perfectly fine if I make the key combination something like 'd'

[umbral heron]

That... is true, models as are now would do better job than most big corpo CEOs

[proven garden]

@old marlin @fair gull so its compatible?

i found these info

[fair gull]

id say ask pulsar

seems like a firmware/configurator issue

[mellow arrow]

ye I asked there as well but the server is dead

[exotic plinth]

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000197983/installing-a-3rd-party-vesa-mount-on-a-dell-gaming-or-alienware-monitor

[proven garden]

@old marlin its says vesa mont 100x100 so thats good?

look here

[exotic plinth]

@proven garden

[proven garden]

down right

[fair gull]

jesus you already got told by them it should fit

how hard is it to read

[proven garden]

i didnt understand

[old marlin]

I just refuse to interact with you anymore ffs

[proven garden]

i just wanted to amke sure

[old marlin]

you are so incredbily thick headed and entirely unable to think for yourself at the same time

[proven garden]

dawg its hard for me to understand but ok

[exotic plinth]

Did you ever tried Googling your issue

[proven garden]

yea

[proven garden]

i did coudnlt find anything

[proven garden]

i just wana make sure that buying the ergotron lx will fit my monitor

so it will? cause if so then thank you for thehelp

[umbral heron]

Yes, it will, ergotron can support crazy 11,3kg, you'll be fine

[proven garden]

okay thank you i just wanted to know if its compatible with my monitor thank you

also i wanted to ask

i searched everywhere on internet but cant find

i saw other peopels laiewanre monitors have a cyan led light idk if mines suport but how do i turn on?

[sharp badger]

Here's the MIS-D that Ergotron LX uses which is normal VESA 100x100, which fits that Dell monitor

[proven garden]

THNKA YOUUU

[umbral heron]

Most Alienware monitors have RGB lightning, in my model it's called AlienFX Lightning in Settings

[proven garden]

its a app?

[steep creek]

probably settings panel on the monitor itself, my asus is that way at least

[proven garden]

when i got the monitor i got this app called alienware comand panel or soemthing

[umbral heron]

Yup, it's in panel settings, no app

[proven garden]

comand center

[proven garden]

you mean the button in the middle?

[umbral heron]

Yup, that's the one

[proven garden]

i cant find those settings

only night visions and sutff

[proven garden]

yea

i cant find it still

went up to that but it doesnt have the alienfx lighting setting

maybe it doesnt support?

[sharp badger]

I don't think that monitor have any

[proven garden]

yea i think so also whats smart hdr?

[steep creek]

google your monitor and check the product page i guess, if its not there it probably doesnt have it

[proven garden]

i tried coudnlt find anything so i dont think it has anything

[proven garden]

u got the 27inch one?

[umbral heron]

Yup, 1440p280

[sharp badger]

Newer monitors have this or the middle part that shines

[proven garden]

i got those

[sharp badger]

Yours only have this

[proven garden]

but thye like blacked and 25

yeaa thats mine

[umbral heron]

Ah, then it doesn't have RGB then

[proven garden]

well also whats smart hdr?

it shows like a leaf aswell next to it like eco or some?

[umbral heron]

Smart HDR means monitor will automatically switch to HDR if it detects HDR content

[proven garden]

so i turn that on?

whats lcf conditionaing?

lcd conditionaing

[umbral heron]

https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/monitors/lcd-conditioning-explained/647fa0fef4ccf8a8de6276fd

[proven garden]

thank you

[umbral heron]

As for HDR set it to either DisplayHDR or Game HDR

[proven garden]

switched to game hdr

there isnta display hdr

[umbral heron]

Some models may not have it, yeah

[proven garden]

whats sharpness?

its set on 20

what i set on

i set response time to extreme btw

idk whats dark stabilizerr

[umbral heron]

Iunno, just change until you like it

[proven garden]

well what it does like makes images more cleaner or?

[umbral heron]

Dark stabilizer increases visibility when the image* is darker, but makes colors look washed out, I have it set to 0

[proven garden]

yea jsut left at 0

i cant see difference on sharpness

[umbral heron]

Then set to 50 and done

[proven garden]

yea good idea

iw as leaving at 100

what the fuck is aliewvision night?

hacks!?

[umbral heron]

An overlay, yeah
I have it turned off, it's annoying

[ashen spindle]

just read the handbook for it that comes with the thing it explains it all

or just google it if you don't know a thing

[proven garden]

i saw

cal do u ahve the lcd thing on?

[proven garden]

just asking her cause she has alienware monitor and probably expireinced

[umbral heron]

LCD conditioning? I have it turned off, I haven't touched it

LCD conditioning is a manual checking feature and it should be manually interrupted when you’re satisfied with the viewing image quality.
So you should enable it for a few minutes every few weeks/months or so

[proven garden]

u ever tried or na

[umbral heron]

Nope, at all

[proven garden]

what else should ik?

[umbral heron]

Connect to your PC via DisplayPort and not HDMI, and... that's it I think
And change refresh rate in Windows settings

[proven garden]

i use dp cable

[fading glacier]

Can anyone help me

I’m trying to download windows but I keep running into this issue😭

[proven garden]

just dow aht it says

restart computer then isntalation

[reef patrol]

I have a feeling that's exactly what they've been doing.

[pale sigil]

Basically you need to make a recovery boot or just do a proper re install/format

[orchid spire]

hey i dont know if this is the right channel to ask this question but i'm trying to build my own analog keyboard with the wooting switches and I'm having trouble finding what kind of sensor to put on my pcb (in particular what sensing range is suitable for those switches)

[unkempt lake]

Use another pc, make a bootavle usb

[fading glacier]

Alright, I’ll try that

[marsh glade]

I'd recommend one of these two sensors. Neither are what we use on our keyboards, but they are more accessible for DIY projects
https://www.allegromicro.com/en/products/sense/linear-and-angular-position/linear-position-sensor-ics/a1454
https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv5053.pdf
If your project uses more than 8 keys, I suggest the section link in conjunction with a multiplexer
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/CD74HC4067SM96/390310

[orchid spire]

i already wrote the code and tested on sensor like these i was juste wandering what sensibility of sensor i shoud use (i have 12 keys):

https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/DRV5053VAQDBZR/5015738

i have enough adc on my microcontroller to directly read the analog value

[marsh glade]

I'm afraid that I don't have the technical knowledge to answer your questions

[orchid spire]

no worries thanks anyways

[gusty kiln]

There were slight differences between x670 and x670e, what is it with x870 and x870e?

[unkempt lake]

More usb and sata ports

[astral haven]

Pudget systems

[gusty kiln]

chipset pcie is pretty big

[astral haven]

yep, its still looking to be a daisy chain situation

[ashen spindle]

yeah its basically the same boards

[whole axle]

damn really

isnt the power output or whatever better

i forget what the actual thing is called

but its for the chips

[astral haven]

thats independent from the chipset

[ashen spindle]

boards are just there for features and to not limit the cpu

[astral haven]

i do wish amd would push for some A#00 boards that were capable of running the nice chips

especially now with the incredible IO built into the new cpus
in fact now that i think of it, how about framework do it, and have the rear io basically just be framework expansion modules, and the lower expansion slot be that amd stacking chipset prototype, except compress it into a half height module that you can stack 2 on top of each other

[vagrant pagoda]

So wait 870 has less chipset lanes now vs 670?

[astral haven]

yep

[uneven sandal]

Here you are filtering only on the IntelAudio\ ...

[whole axle]

So then whats the advantage of getting x870e over x670e

[astral haven]

guaranteed usb4 and itll be the only option soonish

[uneven sandal]

These are all available during the recoridng. Identify the HWiD/InstanceID and then filter on the D-states report

[whole axle]

so if im doing a new build

i was gonna get the 9800x3d

and x870e

should i still get the board?

[ashen spindle]

no just get b650

cheaper and does all you need

[astral haven]

and dont get anything until you are ready to go since prices will only go down for what you need

[whole axle]

Well i just need pcie5 m.2 for the future thats it

[ashen spindle]

you think you need it, you wont

[astral haven]

you dont need that, and some b650 do have that

[ashen spindle]

yeah like the 200$ b650 pg lightning has m2 gen5

[whole axle]

Thats what i have in my build

[astral haven]

or actually a crazier idea, make it ITX, then theres a connector on the bottom that turns it into a slightly compressed matx, that stacks to make a full length atx board

[golden girder]

Again, when I used the command you gave me and no USB device appeared. When I use the GUI the "First Level Triage" and "Power usage" is enabled, nothing else. The detail level is set to verbose.

Here the how the settings window looks for me. So far the tool don't show any helpful data.

[fading glacier]

I FIGURED IT OUT

I kept getting an error while trying to download windows, and kept trying to restart the whole installation process, it kept freezing at like 50%, but I had a feeling it was cuz of my wooting that was plugged in, I unplugged it and it worked😭😭😭

Idek why it worked but it did

[uneven sandal]

hmm. something is off. You should have all information recorded. I would try collecting a trace on another system (using the commandline) to be sure.

[wheat plume]

oo Bazzite supports the Nvidia drivers, unlike SteamOS and HoloISO

very very cool :D

[steep creek]

oh it reminds me i need to fix my arch install. installed nvidia drivers recently and it black screened right after rebooting

[wheat plume]

Yeah.....sounds about right for Nvidia drivers .-.

also, am I stupid, where is the mic on these??

is it removable or is the mic just a hole on the earcup or what?

[reef patrol]

It's a pinhole

[wheat plume]

....oh, it is part of the earcups

[wheat plume]

🤔 its bluetooth, gonna sound horrible no matter what

you can use dongle too, that is 2.4Gh AFAIK, maybe that would make the mic sound better?

[reef patrol]

Use the cabled version instead?

[astral haven]

knowing logitech, probably not

[halcyon moss]

Mmx200 @wheat plume

[wheat plume]

those are 200 .....

dafuq is a Meta Link Switch?

their update tool only works on Windows .... 😢

[reef patrol]

www.google.com

[wheat plume]

oo what about these??

[analog sinew]

mmx300 gang

[wheat plume]

is the number in the model name just the price??? XDD

cause the MMX200 is 200 Euro and the MMX300 is 300 Euro

that also applies to MMX100 but these are on sale rn

[analog sinew]

kindof, it's the model, idk the higher ones are the fancier ones

i just wanted a good headset and decided to spend a little

also, they sent me B-stock when i ordered new, then I got 20% off for that 👍

[wheat plume]

aha!

[halcyon moss]

Unfortunately.. Yes

[sharp badger]

The MMX 300 do also have the replaceable headband which is good

[wheat plume]

I dont want wireless headphones cause id always forget to charge them

[halcyon moss]

Fortunately it charges fast and has decent battery life

[sharp badger]

I don't think about it the headphones just says battery low and then one can just go for a walk or something

[halcyon moss]

I wanted wireless with a decent mic (working from home and plenty of meetings) and low latency for the occasional gaming

[whole axle]

iems for the win

[wheat plume]

oh, the headphones itself tell you the battery is low??

[halcyon moss]

Yes

[wheat plume]

oh, thought youd have to rely on the OS to tell you that

[halcyon moss]

Every wireless headphones I've had did that though

[sharp badger]

Can also check what battery lvl they're on too

[wheat plume]

watch, the audio warning is way too loud by default

like my last set of wireless headphones were....

played a high pitched beep sound when battery was low reallllyy fucking loudly .-. I hated it, gave mea headache cause it did that every 30 seconds when low

[sharp badger]

You can set the voice prompts level

[halcyon moss]

It's just as loud as the normal sounds on the mmx200

[wheat plume]

oooohhhhh, thats nice!

[halcyon moss]

They are a bit tight on the head and a bit sweaty when hot

[wheat plume]

the 200?

[sharp badger]

I'm using Audeze Maxwell though but the MMX 200 should have an app/software too for such things

[wheat plume]

I hope the software saves the settings on the headphones and not on device

cause id have to use my old laptop for the software cause that has Windows installed on it

[halcyon moss]

Tbh, I've changed zero settings

[sharp badger]

I don't run the app in the background

[wheat plume]

im talking about the firmware updater tool they have

wait no

the config software, for EQ

[halcyon moss]

There's a phone app as well.. But that can't uodate

[sharp badger]

Most of the headphones i've got just remember the settings even TWS

Unrelated but this dongle is fun instead of the normal boring ones

[lyric hatch]

Best dongle

[sharp badger]

That's unique too

........ why tf does a washing machine need internet access to begin with?! not to mind nearly 4GB data per day

[halcyon moss]

Wow, old tweet there

It wasn't

[sharp badger]

https://www.tomshardware.com/networking/your-washing-machine-could-be-sending-37-gb-of-data-a-day

[wheat plume]

Router issue LOL

but still, why tf does a washing machine need wifi connection?!

[halcyon moss]

So you can turn it on when power is cheaper

Or free, or you get paid to use power

Was that in January?! I thought it was 1 or 2 months ago

[empty wren]

It folds

[wheat plume]

....bruh

the first half of the video is JUST CAMERA talk

[empty wren]

Must be that good then

[wheat plume]

yeah maybe

[sharp badger]

Only 3x :///

[empty wren]

Well maybe AI fills in the blank

[sharp badger]

Is Google Fold the only one with 5x? don't think it's a periscope though

[astral haven]

and samsung

both google and samsung are periscope

[empty wren]

Well here is the newest fold

[astral haven]

ah fold

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[astral haven]

xiaomi then

[empty wren]

Yeah they are always peaking

3.2 is technically more than 3

[astral haven]

yea but it also has a 5x

[sharp badger]

Yeah but are they China only?

[astral haven]

europe too

[empty wren]

Possibly but nothing stopping you from importing besides carrier bands

[astral haven]

also that model is old, the new one is coming out within a few months

[empty wren]

You mean the pixel?

[astral haven]

i meant the xiaomi 3

[empty wren]

Oh

[sharp badger]

The Mix Fold 4 will be a global release apparently

[astral haven]

maybe, arent they on some us list?

[sharp badger]

Oh they're launching them this month https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mix_fold4_will_go_global_with_an_ultrathin_body-news-63551.php

[lyric hatch]

Seems like they were banned under trump, unbanned under Joe but haven't come back into the market

They always sold phones here in NZ

Just not a very big player

[distant tapir]

[pale sigil]

I hate the ultra thin trend so much

[analog sinew]

blame apple lol

[steep creek]

apple is kinda going back on it, their mac’s and iphones are thicker than before

[cobalt palm]

anyone knows if 60% 8k polling coming soon?

[ashen spindle]

its not

[cobalt palm]

zamm

i hate anything bigger than 60%

[ashen spindle]

just get regular 60% then

[cobalt palm]

i got it alrdy

[ashen spindle]

8k polling doesnt change much wouldnt even say its worth an upgrade

[cobalt palm]

I have way too much money

and i like tech a lot

[empty wren]

A case can compensate back unless you got a curved edge display

[pale sigil]

Sorry what

[empty wren]

if put on a case you get a border to hold onto

or is your concern on otherwise matters?

[pale sigil]

Yes but why not just more battery space and um keeping tech like headphone jacks etc

[empty wren]

oh totally agree on more battery also technically an "edgeless" screen does not take up that much space. Keep the top an bottom bezels to reduce display major thickness though

hate to bum you out about the headphone jack but your only option is sony, asus and other midrange devices

[wheat plume]

Apparently the earcups on the mmx100 are super shallow and your ear will likely be touching the inside

[unkempt lake]

Iphone aint even thin, my iphone 14 pro is like a brick that can kill someone with how big the camera bump and heavy the thing is

[wheat plume]

Give me some of it

I don't have enough ;_;

[unkempt lake]

cuz you spent it on that smartwatch you posted a few days ago?

xd

[wheat plume]

I didn't buy that watch
Calslock did

I'm waiting for her to review it :')
Though the reviews I see online aren't very optimistic ....

[balmy vector]

You and me both smacking people with those camera edges

[stoic elm]

;lkjuiogvhhjk;tyuhio/

oops

i was testing my keyboard

it hit enter by oopis

[little silo]

cool

[cobalt palm]

get wooting to release a 60% 8k polling and ill give u 500 bucks

[stoic elm]

id kms if i had to rebuy this hoe this fast

[cobalt palm]

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[stoic elm]

i got this 1k polling rate td if ima have to rebuy the it and get the 8k one i would tweak

[cobalt palm]

bro resell

[stoic elm]

smart

[cobalt palm]

i do that every year

with my gpu

i got 4090 and as soon as 5090 comes out im selling my 4090

i did the same with 2080 ti and 3090

[ashen spindle]

8k doesnt make any difference so whenever they make one you should not get one just for that

[stoic elm]

thats why i love when navida drops gpu

[balmy vector]

i just like seeing competition

[cosmic thunder]

intel core 15th gen vs amd ryzen 9000 series

[ashen spindle]

blue vs red

[balmy vector]

its gonna be an interesting year

who knows these days, with the amount that folks are rebranding and stuff that might not even be the case at the end of the year /s

Eh, if there's no price difference get one with heatsink

SSDs might get a bit warm when under sustained load

Thx 👍

[halcyon moss]

motherboard probably already has a heatsink, but its fine eitherway

@old marlin @lofty pivot claims realforce did rapid trigger way before we did and you apparently are the lore master of keyboard history

they called it kill switch

[lofty pivot]

ah kill switch

[fair gull]

thats 2023

[lofty pivot]

that's it

[fair gull]

also not rapid trigger

[old marlin]

didn't say they did rapid trigger

[fair gull]

sno did

[old marlin]

they implemented rapid trigger some time ago

but after wooting

[fair gull]

also kill switch doesnt look like rappy snappy either

[old marlin]

kill switch is similar to razer snap tap

[lofty pivot]

didn't they have that old feature that cut off keys early like rapid trigger before as well

[old marlin]

they do now

[lofty pivot]

i can't remember the name for it but I recall there was an old keyboard that did the disconnect key thing but it wasn't very good

[fair gull]

not that id consider multiple actuation points similar to rapid trigger either (like some keyboards have now with HE)

[old marlin]

we also got this now https://x.com/notxelus/status/1811727254843720007

Every cunt arguing about razer's snap tap and wooting's rappy snappy.
So here's the code in QMK for every cunt instead.

[lofty pivot]

i mean either way we kind of got a bit off topic - I think wooting does funky names and it's fine, part of how the company works because it's not a marketing company and that's endearing to a degree

[fair gull]

yeah but we usually do goofy names for either products or features we come up with that are novel

[lofty pivot]

kind of like how the custom cables from wooting have the wooting flare too, even if I don't love it

[old marlin]

most people prob care tbh

[fair gull]

i dont think relabeling SOCD as snap tap or any other funky name is a good thing as it doesnt build the same awareness for consumers

[lofty pivot]

realistically from a marketing perspective it's a great thing for them

[fair gull]

well marketing wise fomo is also great for a company

doesnt make it morally ok

[lofty pivot]

i mean there's no moral angle here

i don't know what you're talking about. No one has the moral naming rights to these hybrid features

you can call it wacky inflatable snapping and that would be morally fine

[fair gull]

idk from my pov it isnt as it sort of positions a company as having invented a new thing not seen before. and snap tap is a good example of this.

its just socd but consumers praise razer for inventing crazy new tech

[lofty pivot]

from the consumer pov from now on last input socd is going to be synonymous with razer because 'last input socd' is a complicated and confusing name

[fair gull]

ok so now we just assume consumers cant understand the concept of socd and then different socd modes

[lofty pivot]

i think wooting needing to tweet the difference and people still being confused between them is proof enough

the average consumer does not know the nuances of socd

[fair gull]

because they never had to deal with it on a keyboard

[lofty pivot]

because they never had to deal with it period. Most people don't know what socd is

not everyone played fighting games etc

[fair gull]

and thats the whole issue. just introduce smth like this as what it is and educate consumers

[lofty pivot]

and that's what razer is doing. They're just branding their usage of it and it's working extremely well

[fair gull]

they arent educating anyone though

and they didnt introduce it for what it is

[lofty pivot]

they are introducing that one particular usage of it as snap tap

yes it's not all socd and not all ways to use last input socd

but from now on that usage of it in fps games will be known as snap tap by the general public to such a degree that even rappy snappy is being called snap tap by people even though it's not the same

[fair gull]

and thats the issue

razer didnt educate anyone on what snap tap actually is and people will mislabel other tech because they didnt get educated on the not too complex nuances

[lofty pivot]

i think you're just coming at this from a programmer perspective and not from a 'people are dumb and don't want to be taught to fish' perspective

it's the old 'well why can't we teach people to fish and they'll never go hungry' thing

reality is people don't care about learning those things

[fair gull]

i think having a perspective of people are dumb is already not good

[lofty pivot]

i mean people are - if you refuse to go into it with that perspective then that's why the messaging is failing

it's the same reason newspapers don't use complicated language

[fair gull]

being lazy and not being interested to learn is not being dumb

[devout raptor]

did they stop selling the 5800x3d

[lofty pivot]

for example i'm sure you could write a way more education newspaper article using much more complicated language but newspapers are written at a highschool level on purpose

it caters to the consumer

[sharp badger]

They're still available? maybe the stock will deplete sometime who knows

[fair gull]

i can still get one

[devout raptor]

the biggest tech retailer in my country delisted it and the prices are going up in any store that still has it

what the hell. 5800x3d is selling 250+ for used

[umbral heron]

Quite a lot available here too

[devout raptor]

i see

how much does it cost

[devout raptor]

you are finnish too?

[umbral heron]

315€?

[devout raptor]

jimms stopped selling it

doesnt seem that worth it at this point

[sharp badger]

Yeah i see that now but there's still ways to get it and AM5 will replace it in due time

[fickle ore]

definitely not worth it

[fair gull]

i cant even read that screenshot

[devout raptor]

cpu price 270

7600x beats it and costs less

[fair gull]

but thats am5

[devout raptor]

realistically you are spending a 100 more compared to am4

[fickle ore]

I have a 5800x and I been debating 5800x3d but I'd only pay like max 150€ or 75-100€ and give 5800x in exchange

[raw sinew]

am5 is still a hefty investment

[fickle ore]

2 gen old cpu

[raw sinew]

depending on usage case I'd still go for 5800x3d

[sharp badger]

Eh not that bad tbh.

[fickle ore]

tech loses its worth rly fast

[ashen spindle]

If you buy new a 5800x3d isn’t a good idea that should only be used or upgrade on existing platforms now

You’re stuck on ddr4 with it so getting it as a new platform makes little sense

[fair gull]

isnt the 5800x3d basically the last am4 cpu you could get

[ashen spindle]

Yes

[sharp badger]

5700X3D in some places too

[fickle ore]

just wait a few months it will go down in price

[devout raptor]

this costs the same as a 5800x3d kit was before the summer while those were still being sold

[fickle ore]

if ur buying new pc it doesnt make sense to buy 7xxx either, just go 9xxx

[devout raptor]

7800x3d is the best gaming cpu

[fair gull]

for gaming it still makes sense to go 7800x3d

until 9000 series gets x3d

[sharp badger]

The kits can be priced good but might just be better to get things from seperate vendors

[umbral heron]

I'm scared of 9950X MSRP

[devout raptor]

or are you talking about getting a 9 seires

[fickle ore]

7800x3d has been the best gaming cpu for 2 years ish

meaning its old af

[devout raptor]

datatronic and proshop has cheap prices but ive never heard of anyone buying from there

[fair gull]

yet it still beats 9000 series non x3d according to amd themselves even in games

[raw sinew]

proshop is legit I've used them in Norway

[devout raptor]

i see

[fickle ore]

Yes and the play is to wait for 9xxx3xd

[ashen spindle]

No it’s about even depending on what games

[sharp badger]

I order stuff from Proshop even Datatronic depending on what i need

[umbral heron]

F no, I'm getting 7950x3d lol

[fair gull]

wont 9000 series be more expensive? so price/performance ratio is easily better

[devout raptor]

7950 was somehow worse for gaming than 7800

[fair gull]

unless they have really good launch prices for some reason

[ashen spindle]

We don’t know pricing yet

But just performance wise it’s within like 2% according to AMD

[raw sinew]

if ur on am4 and not looking to invest too much the 5800x3d still packs a punch and is great value

[fair gull]

im assuming launch prices a little higher than 7000series

[devout raptor]

its not really great value when the resell value shot up

[fickle ore]

Imo on cpus the only thing worth getting is latest gen. If price is an issue just go some cheapo used PC or laptop w/e

[ashen spindle]

Intel going up in flames certainly isn’t helping prices to go down lel

[fair gull]

ye exactly

i mean i dont think amd would uber abuse the situation

[devout raptor]

I still feel scammed by nvidia for buying a regular 4070

[umbral heron]

[fair gull]

but i think the prices for 9000 series will be quite a bit above 7000series

[devout raptor]

when they released the 4070 s a couple months after which was 10% faster and cost the same...

nGreed

[fickle ore]

AMD would def abuse any and all situations where they have a moat and can dictate pricing. Business/Corpo 101

[raw sinew]

what's the price graph looking like for finnish retailers?

[fickle ore]

Tbh hardware baked security improvements are another point for only considering latest CPU gen

[devout raptor]

i have no idea how i can figure that out

[fair gull]

id hope amd keeps it at like 400-450 for smth like the 9700x

[raw sinew]

on the page u screenshotted the various retailers there should be a price history on the top right

it's like "prisjakt" in Norway I believe

[sharp badger]

5800X3D

[fickle ore]

1 year flat price

[halcyon moss]

there's also the other x3d variants, 5700x3d and 5600x3d

[ashen spindle]

which you should not consider or cant consider

[devout raptor]

5600x3d was a microcenter exclusive no?

[sharp badger]

5700X3D

[ashen spindle]

56 is microcenter, 57 is just 58 with much lower clocks

[devout raptor]

57 doesnt seem worth it whatsoever

[ashen spindle]

and given lower clocks is already an issue on 58 you really shouldn't take that one

[devout raptor]

atp you should just wait for 9000 or get a 7600x idk

im still running a 5600x and dont plan on upgrading in a hot minute

Im too fed up with the 4070 to buy anything pc related

[fair gull]

ill prob just get the 9000 series x3d when they drop

[umbral heron]

I'm getting new CPU in 2 weeks
Don't want to wait until 9xxxX3D

[raw sinew]

do they hand out 2for1 offers, if so buy me one tony

[fair gull]

i also just got a 7800x3d

but being cpu limited in games

[raw sinew]

when is the 9k series dropping?

[fair gull]

non x3d end of this month

[raw sinew]

i can def wait for the x3d then

[umbral heron]

x3d probably 25Q1

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[devout raptor]

be me
Buy rtx 4070 for near 700€ in july 2023
3 months after nvidia releases 4070super
10% performance increase and same price

[fair gull]

i sadly couldnt but ill also have easily be able to get an x3d 9000 series in 25q1

[ashen spindle]

no likely in like 3 months

it seems to come with the mobo refreshes

[fair gull]

[umbral heron]

I don't want to wait 3 months

[ashen spindle]

but we also dont know if all x3d models come out there etc.

[devout raptor]

9600x3d sounds solid

probably wont exist tho

[fair gull]

we dont know yet i believe

all we know is that amd confirmed they wanna keep investing into 3d v-cache

[sharp badger]

New mobos is rumored to release in September

[raw sinew]

easy money, cs2 players will be buying them en masse

[fair gull]

hope i wont need to replace my x870e

[halcyon moss]

simulation players as well

[ashen spindle]

the only difference for boards is that you get TB4 natively the rest is basically the same

[sharp badger]

670?

[fair gull]

x870(e) already had usb4 by default right?

[sharp badger]

X870 hasn't released yet

[umbral heron]

Of course they'd announce new chipset few days after I ordered a new mobo

[fair gull]

oh thats the new ones then

welp

[sharp badger]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/chipsets/am5.html Seems like it's a standard on the X870 & E

[fair gull]

right ok yeah i got a tb port on the mobo but not by default on the IO panel

[umbral heron]

I wonder if 11xxx will be AM6

[ashen spindle]

zen6 at this point seems likely to be on am5 still

[halcyon moss]

i fail to see the added benefit on desktop for thunderbolt

[umbral heron]

If zen6 will be B650 compatible then I'm happy

[fair gull]

the main advantage would be the USB4 speed

[ashen spindle]

you can add more displays, faster charging, higher speeds

pc to pc connection thats >10gig

[fickle ore]

you also get to pay more for monitors that support TB4

[umbral heron]

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 allows for up to 20Gbps
Even my ol' B450 has this

[fair gull]

i mean its sort of like 10gig ethernet vs 2.5gig

both are way too much dosmetically

[sharp badger]

https://uniaccessories.com/blogs/blog/usb-3-2-vs-usb-4-shocking-differences-and-similarities Hmm?

[scenic thunder]

cant wait for the first lineup of USB 4 1tb flash drives to launch for like 500$ lol

[umbral heron]

I dunno, my smart box can barely buffer 1080p video on 1Gbps, maybe I should throw 10Gbps at it

[fair gull]

lol

[halcyon moss]

but on a desktop there usually is a dedicated gpu, with plenty of connections

[fair gull]

id just want usb4 for faster backup storage

[chrome estuary]

I meant back then. I had a Note 4 at the time

[fair gull]

wasnt the note4 microsd already?

[chrome estuary]

I meant micro SD. I screwed up what I said

[fair gull]

oh

i thought sd cards made some jump

[chrome estuary]

So yeah I was on Amazon earlier and saw 1.5tb microsd

[bold coyote]

no need to spam

[bold coyote]

If you're pressing two buttons that are linked, the one that gets sent to the computer is the one you're pressing down furthest

[terse rapids]

What do you mean by linked? Like I press number 1 and a on my keyboard?

[terse rapids]

Was being ignored in general thought i had to do it in tech

[burnt laurel]

For instance. You activate Rappy Snappy and link the A and D key. Now, when you press both keys (A and D), the one that's pressed down the furthest is active.

yep... and it used an awful on board memory

SMMD iirc

every day it was basically a coin flip if the phone works or the memory cheap deciding to jump off a bridge

awful experience... Lost so much stuff, because my Note 4 decided to commit Seppuku when i needed it the most

[frozen ingot]

first mistake was buying an assmung

[reef patrol]

We've talked about this. You can't buy people like they're property. Leave poor Assmung alone.

[fair gull]

still contemplating getting the new flip

Question: Will a Ryzen 5 7600 bottleneck a 4070? I've had mix responses as some of my friends have said that the gpu is somewhat overkill for a 7600

As of current this is what i have

Formd t1 v2.1 titanium pc case with cnc mesh panels

Rtx 4070 super founders edition

Asrock b650i lightening motherboard

Ryzen 5 7600x

32gb g skill flare ddr5 ram

1 tb ssd Samsung 980 pro

Corsair sf750 with custom cables

Thermalright axp120-x67 cpu air cooler

2x phanteks case fans

look up benchmarks for the games you play, if it gets the performance you want its fine

[vital apex]

I'm a engineering student, and i gotta use like all the cad software ect ect. and im hoping this pc can do this for me for the next 5-7 years...

so im hoping to squeeze out all that i can right now and just ride the wave the next few years

[digital cliff]

you can use cad software on a computer from 8 years ago so it's not gonna be a problem

[vital apex]

lit

thanks!

(im honestly clueless at this pc stuff so thank you lol)

[astral haven]

cad software is famously inconsistent, and often poorly optimized, look up benchmarks for what you use

[steep creek]

idk what engineering branch you’re in. i’m in electronics and i have classmates who manage on old high school issues laptops, slow but works

probably good to ask your faculty, they should know

[wheat plume]

so this thing should still be good by 2030, if ChatGPT hasnt gained sentience and made us all it's bitch by then

It baffles me that laptops over £700 can still have 1080p

I just saw one for £1300 with 1080p

[wheat plume]

laptops over 400 in Ireland still sometimes have 768p

[reef patrol]

Battery life, cheaper panels.

[pale sigil]

Cheaper panels but premium price.

[reef patrol]

I never said it was fair. But using 1080p panelsis a good way to fatten your battery life specs without adding a larger battery 😄

[wheat plume]

and 4k at laptop display sizes makes everything too small unless you scale to like 200%

[frozen ingot]

even on 17" 1080p is still pretty crisp for a laptop

[balmy vector]

Agreed

[gusty kiln]

shame there are barely any 1080p OLED laptops

they are always 4K and now 1440p starting to roll out

[sharp badger]

With displays like the Flexmirror one would think that there would be those kinda options

[smoky frigate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7NxRFT6FiI

I have not heard of the manufacturer dCS before but they sure are on my shitlist now

[gusty kiln]

they would have never gotten on your radar, they sell 5-6 figures audio equipment

[smoky frigate]

jesus fuck. shit AND expensive!

double shit basically

[gusty kiln]

I mean the guy in the video liked one of their other product, just didn't like the product in question

it's a very niche market anyway so it doesn't matter for 99% of people

[smoky frigate]

I follow audio stuff with passing interest, so letting people know who might too seems like the least I can do

[reef patrol]

LTT smells blood in the water. This should be fun to observe

[sudden imp]

sorry for asking im not in the loop whos bleeding?

[pale sigil]

https://amzn.eu/d/06QB6Xpy

Why isn't there at least a 4050 in this

[ashen spindle]

because thin and light doesnt work with dgpu

also super budget gpu and high end cpu doesnt sell in laptops

[reef patrol]

Look up about five messages. There's a literal video and everything.

[astral haven]

when did ltt get involved?

[wheat plume]

Seems the earcups are really shallow on the MMX 100...maye the ones on MMX 200 are deeper?! idk ;-;

[sudden imp]

Oh sorry I didn't realize they commented

[astral haven]

Sweet, thank you!

[wheat plume]

😅 wtf?

[smoky frigate]

what the fuck?

that's remarkably broken

[wheat plume]

RIGHT?!

Never seen any site break so badly before

[sharp badger]

https://9to5toys.com/2023/09/28/beyerdynamic-mmx-200-review/

[wheat plume]

so barely less shallow than mmx100...got it ;-;

[sharp badger]

https://www.logitechg.com/en-eu/products/gaming-audio/pro-x-2-wireless-headset.981-001275.html Can buy these instead 😎

[wheat plume]

nearly 300 Euro...too much

[grave plaza]

Any sites or recommendations for mousepads/mats that can cover 63"D x 75"W x 30.4"H (L-Shaped desk)

[sharp badger]

What's the budget then?

[sharp badger]

Depends where you're located?

[wheat plume]

Ideally 100-150

https://www.logitechg.com/en-eu/products/gaming-audio/g435-wireless-bluetooth-gaming-headset.981-001074.html what about?

[grave plaza]

Wrong dimensions earlier, apologies. Im NA/East located.

I've discared the top monitor portion. So 23.5" deep.

top monitor tabletop*

@sharp badger

I've looked at some rolls of the material used for mousepads, but they lack the fabirc on top. and stitching would be missing on edges.

[sharp badger]

Hmm, ok could try to find something, First i would think of is Etsy, might even get something locally and cut it yourself

for kids...that explains the wacky colors xd

[balmy vector]

Its so ugly

[balmy vector]

I love the pc38x

[reef patrol]

Excuse you?

[wheat plume]

XD

I like the colors also :P

[hasty thunder]

so the earcups and headband of my Audeze Maxwell are wacky?

[wheat plume]

oo very wacky !

Double UwU action, nice nice!

[analog sinew]

UwUUwU

[hasty thunder]

UwUwU

[wheat plume]

UUwwUU

[hasty thunder]

@reef patrol Lana dislikes blue and purple mixes

[wheat plume]

I said wacky

Wacky != Bad

:')

[hollow carbon]

But that is the best color combination

[steep creek]

i like those posters

[exotic plinth]

Screens are not connected

[hollow carbon]

From My point of view they line up

[wheat plume]

maybe if you want words on your wallpaper, dont put the clock in the middle of the lockscreen, cause for a moment, i thought it said POS xd

[vagrant pagoda]

Fam get display fusion and set a real multiscreen background

GNOME desktop seems to be working on moving away from Cantarell font, want to replace it with Inter

[smoky saddle]

guys

do i switch motherboards

i have an i7-13700k

but i can get a 5950x

for 250….

[empty wren]

Uh yeah you cannot mix amd and Intel up.

[red snow]

no your cpu is fine wait until it bricks or buy AM5 motherboard with 7000 or 9000 series OR wait till arrow lake comes out

[smoky saddle]

No i know i have to switch motherboards

i’m saying is it worth switching.

the 13700k is good

[red snow]

it’s a lot of money since your switching motherboards and possibly ram

I’d say no

[weak schooner]

its not worth switching at all.

[empty wren]

If you are mostly gaming Intel still makes a lot of sense

[smoky saddle]

i have ddr5 ram

[weak schooner]

spending money to get downgrades in every sense of the word

[smoky saddle]

so i wouldn’t have to switch ram

[empty wren]

Well amd processors got a ton of cores

[smoky saddle]

the 5950x is better in every aspect.

like objectively

[red snow]

just don’t switch at minimum wait like 2 years and then think about upgrading

[smoky saddle]

look at benchmarking

[weak schooner]

only when it comes to energy efficiency and productivity

if he is not doing productivity, it is a straight downgrade.

and even then, given software optimizations, it's probably a downgrade even then.

[smoky saddle]

hm

maybe i just gun it on a 7950x

and call it a day

[weak schooner]

fwiw zen5 is just around the corner

[smoky saddle]

i guess technically speaking

how much is the 14900k

[weak schooner]

unless you are either (a) loaded and money is no concern or (b) absolutely need productivity, there's 0 reason to side-grade. but its your money. you do you.

[smoky saddle]

money isn’t necessarily the issue

[weak schooner]

then do you need productivity?

[smoky saddle]

ehhh

[weak schooner]

then there's zero reason to side-grade

[smoky saddle]

more output then anything tbh

my computer is more than good i feel but like

depending on the game

[weak schooner]

CPUs are in a state where they aren't really worth upgrading.

granted zen5 could change that.

[smoky saddle]

fair

i’m just trying to upgrade to something that can run 500+ frames consistently

my build now can do it

just depending on the game

but it’s not as consistent as i’d prefer

[weak schooner]

do you have a 480hz monitor?

[trail cipher]

500 consistent gaddang

[weak schooner]

are you a professional gamer?

if not, it's placebo and you shouldn't really care.

[smoky saddle]

i have an XL2586X

benQs 540hz panel

[smoky saddle]

not professional, would like to get into the field

but i mean i play a lot of competitive games

ranked fairly high on most of them

i feel like no one really NEEDS certain things

it’s more of a want to me

540hz is absolutely unnecessary

but i will say its 100% a competitive advantage
