[steady sail]

The thing is its gonna be long before all pc peripherals gonna switch to usb-c to usb-c

[rough osprey]

usbc port kinda ugly

[frozen ingot]

yeah usb-c has been out for almost a decade now and its still not used on so many new products

[fair gull]

i wish

i so want a usb-c only mobo

[frozen ingot]

I wish we'd revamp the whole i/o placements for mobos period

[rough osprey]

do the two thunderbolt ports even work

[frozen ingot]

make cases with a front slot for most of the usb instead

[rough osprey]

they are in there a bit far

[old marlin]

I don't want my io in the front

[frozen ingot]

I don't want to crawl on the floor or reach behind the computer to access 90% of its ports

[fair gull]

id rather not have my io in the front

except the FPIO which 1 usb-c and 2 usb-a im ok with

[frozen ingot]

you don't want it actually intuitive?

[old marlin]

I don't want an absolute mess

yes

[frozen ingot]

like I can get that you want some of the stuff on the back like the network input, sound, mouse/keyboard etc

[old marlin]

yea I got 2 A and a c port in the front, what more do I need?

[frozen ingot]

but other than that you use a lot of things you plug and unplug regularly

[fair gull]

idk how many usb devices you regularly connect and disconnect to need more than what most frontpanel io offers

[old marlin]

uhh yea like a USB stick maybe once every few months

[rough osprey]

like what

[fair gull]

no

lol

[old marlin]

and atm a smartwatch charger becaue i cba to put it elsewhere atm

for that front io is MORE than enough atm

[fair gull]

i maybe charge my xbox controller every few weeks and a single usb stick every now and again

thats it

[frozen ingot]

I plug in controllers, keypads, thumbdrives, bt dongles to my hub relatively often

if not unplug them I like being able to toggle the port on/off

[rough osprey]

do it in bios :D

[frozen ingot]

[sudden imp]

Me too, atleast we are seeing more than one usb c port on mobos recently

[frozen ingot]

a lot of them still only have one tho

like how hard/costly would it be to add one or two more even for the less high-end boards

[open kite]

hello i just got take control keycaps they are cool but i have a problem with the spacebar it gets stuck when i press it down. is there any fixes for that?

keyboard isw 60 he

[frozen ingot]

but they can add two display outputs or some other shit 99% won't need or use smh

[reef patrol]

What I hate most about this is how much space there's between each USB C port.

[halcyon moss]

I like it

Allows for c to a dongles

Which you will need!

[reef patrol]

You don't need THAT much space for them though.

It's too much

[ashen spindle]

you also wont gain room to add something else to its just making it nicer to work with cables instead of making them closer

[halcyon moss]

They have the space, so they use the space

[halcyon moss]

Oh my lord

I have a tnt2

[reef patrol]

I got my first Mac in 94?

First PC was a 386... Might have been a 486 actually but I don't remember exactly.

[frozen ingot]

had an og voodoo, voodoo2 and tnt2 but none of it still in my keeping of course

[reef patrol]

Kind of destined to happen, when you've got an Uncle at Apple.

[frozen ingot]

those just look like they took modern cases and sprayed them beige and slapped a 90s pc front panel on

no case at the time had internal layouts like that

[reef patrol]

One you slap the side panel back on, they become stealth.

[fickle ore]

hax lolo

[reef patrol]

At one point they needed help desperately with some accounting and bookkeeping stuff, so my uncle convinced my dad to help out.

Express shipped one of their high end Macs just so he could work on it. Taxi, airplane and everything to get it overnighted.

I am honestly not sure how he got the data back to them, since this was before modems we're commonplace. Probably couriered floppy disks back and forth tbh knowing him.

[fickle ore]

rofl imagine that happening today haha

life was so simple back then

[distant tapir]

Cool cases.

[fickle ore]

Apple was so relatively small bcak then

[reef patrol]

So small and very high end. Very business exclusive.

i have a random question, Do oled monitors have a chance of hurting your eyes? I know these been some reports of people having eye fatigue because of it but i also heard IPS monitors fatigue your eyes quicker than oled screens. Just wanted someone opinion on this

[ashen spindle]

google for oled pwm flicker

[rough osprey]

depends on you

[sharp badger]

It looks nice but do still like the all white Gigabyte more

[bright briar]

i had an oled tv and never had issues but when i used my oled switch for too long i had bad eye fatigued

but thats also because an handheld is going to be closer to your face than a tv will be

[steep creek]

here’s an article on this topic (it’s what quin mentioned above)

https://displaybly.com/what-is-oled-flickering/

personally i got some eystrain after looking at the s23 ultra, but no eyestrain on my iphone due to pwm flickering

[bright briar]

thx i'll give this a read

[leaden kiln]

i love oled

[bright briar]

i can but i also have dark mode on and display brightness at 50% ish

im just curious about oled since i did have that issue once with my switch oled but like i said the switch oled was very close to my eyes that caused it. Any other oled products i had in the past didnt cause an issue for me

i use an ips monitor and im on my pc for 15+ hours a day for work and gaming. Obviously i take breaks inbetween but just being cautious because if i replace it with an oled screen i dont want eye fatigued and headaches

thanks for the tip. Would 80% brightness on the oled be fine ? or?

i use blue light on my pc but use 80% brightness all the time but the lighting in my room is okay

i use these tips once i get the oled monitor and test it out

ty for your advice and tips everyone

[cosmic thunder]

whats the difference between x3d and non-x3d cpus

[crisp granite]

extra cache directly on the CCD
makes a major difference for performance

the cache also necessitates the CPU run cooler, so the overall package is much more efficient on top of just being outright better performing

[cosmic thunder]

in gaming right?

[crisp granite]

in everything

fair warning though, the extra cache is only on one CCD
so it can actually be really weird for multi CCD parts like the Ryzen 9 series parts

but for the 7 series, which are just one CCD...woooo dawgy

[gusty kiln]

9000 both ccd still have vcache

[crisp granite]

no way
they changed that from previous gens?

[gusty kiln]

At least the current rumors

[crisp granite]

it used to be just one had em

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

They are also adding new extra features

[crisp granite]

either way, I'm just loving my 7800X3D
don't think I'll swap it out for a while

[mild dome]

I am waiting for the 9800x3d to replace my 5950X

Don't think I used the extra cores enough to justify having them anyhow, but if the 9950x3d goes double cache then I might be tempted depending

What is good temp for 7800x3d

While gaming on ultra

[ashen spindle]

anything below 89C

[fading harbor]

Hello, Woots. Since Cherry MX introduced their solution to analog switches, what's called "induction" based switches (Cherry MX Multipoint). What do you think is next move from Wooting? Will they stick and improve current magnetic switches or will they move to this new induction mechanism? What are your thoughts about that? What do you think is the future of the next keyboards wooting produce and how will it affect current ones?

[lyric hatch]

relevant article https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gaming-keyboards/duckys-worlds-first-inductive-keyboard-offers-cherry-analog-switches-and-wirelessbut-is-it-better-than-hall-effect/

[fading harbor]

Read this post, but that doesn't give a view over the future

[lyric hatch]

well from the article if they were to go into a direction it would most likely be TMR

[fading harbor]

If we talk about TMR, is it just the different sensor or is it about the switch aswell? Cause they mentioned that it's pretty similar to magnets

[lyric hatch]

well from the little research I've done it's a pretty new technology but it has a lot of promise for the future

at the moment the cost of implementing it into a keyboard would be way to high to consider doing

but if the price drops it could theoretically be an option to save on power and also be more precise

[rough osprey]

need that 0.000001mm precision

[lyric hatch]

yeah I'm not sure the precision is that needed in a keyboard but the power saving would allow for significantly longer battery life if it was used wirelessly

[fading harbor]

Another thing I'm quite intrested about is the Wooting's point here. If they lets say decide to move to the new technology, will they offer PCB replacements like we saw with 60HE and 60HE+ or will it only be new keyboard

Ofc if the new technology would come along with wireless, that would be harder to replace on 60HE or 80HE

But if it's only the PCB with TMR, maybe they should offer replacements for the current users if they wanted to move along

[rough osprey]

no need for wireless or

like i dont think its something people really want

[magic minnow]

Motherboard question is an ATX and a Micro ATX motherboard exactly the same besides the size and the amount of ports?

Like one wouldn’t be better for gaming than the other

[rough osprey]

nah

[fading harbor]

Well from one point wireless keyboards are not as important as wireless mouses, but from other point if TMR is only about precision and power efficiency and we do not need more precision, there's no sense to move to TMR if Wooting doesn't decide to go wireless

[marsh glade]

I have no comment on the specific technology, but if we make a new product then that's a new product

[magic minnow]

I want a micro now

[fading harbor]

So no replacement PCB's right?

[marsh glade]

We currently sell a module product that's pretty much just the PCBA in some packaging

[fading harbor]

This depends on the specific models, some are just about that, some are not

[marsh glade]

So if that's what you mean?

I'm just a bit confused what you're actually after here

[lyric hatch]

I'm guessing TMR would also require new switches like the transtion from flaretech to lekkers

[fading harbor]

What I meant is let's say I have Wooting80HE right now which uses HE technology and Wooting decides to cut HE by moving to TMR, will there be for example TMR replacement PCB for 80HE or the 60HE, or will it just continue to improve new products

[marsh glade]

So you're asking if a new keyboard product would be compatible with the case of a previous keyboard product

Quite possibly, especially as the 60HE is made to a given standard

[fading harbor]

Well 60HE is kinda standard layout, but if we talk about 80HE it's unique to Wooting

[marsh glade]

Right

[fading harbor]

Except they decide to go 80HE with TMR

[marsh glade]

We have a tried and true history of backwards compatibility but that's not a guarantee

You should never buy any product from any company on a promise of future features

[fading harbor]

As I've understood we don't see 8k polling on the 60HE, was because the PCB size

[marsh glade]

It requires a different MCU that is physically larger, and therefore requires a PCBA redesign

Doesn't mean it can't fit in the same case standard

[fading harbor]

Okay, understood

[lyric hatch]

I doubt TMR is coming anytime soon (if ever) it is cool though

[marsh glade]

The tech is currently firmly in the "but why?" stage

[fading harbor]

That's what I was telling before. Basically TMR is only about power saving and more precision

[marsh glade]

This quote gets me every time

[fading harbor]

If we leave out precision, which I would say is actually nowhere more to go

Because it is currently not possible to tell the differencr

We are left with power saving

Which is unecessary until we go wireless

[lyric hatch]

which is a can of worms in and of itself

[fading harbor]

So there's basically only point to go TMR if Wooting wants wireless

No other reason

But again, wireless keyboards are not giving that advantage as wireless mouses

Keyboards basically sit on the desk without moving

[marsh glade]

Except media center keyboards

But there's not much reason to prioritize latency in that

[fading harbor]

Well but those do not need rappid trigger and other stuff analog HE offers

Exactly

TMR is just the question of wireless gaming

And as of keyboards whether it's wireless or wired, it doesn't impact comfort

[lyric hatch]

it's already being added to joysticks in controllers I think it makes way more sense for that

[fading harbor]

I completely understand wireless mouses, where that wire is tangling and dragging your mouse when moved

And TMR would kill the custom cable companies aswell 😂

[fading harbor]

Not PS5 controller tho xD Sony needs money on those sticks

I heard their regular PS5 controller have issues with sticks where after some time they just go crazy and need basically joystick replaced

So they introduced this PRO controller with swapable sticks

And those replacement sticks are almost never in stock xd

Basically you get same potatoe from potatoes

Just for 100$ more

Expecting to be able to replace the sticks

[crisp axle]

doesnt 8bitdo have HE controllers?

[primal musk]

I don’t get it the 4090 is already so powerful and so expensive when the 50 series comes out, I don’t know if any PC that anyone bought can handle

I don’t know how you can make anything more powerful than the 4090

[reef patrol]

[balmy vector]

You advance technology

[primal musk]

But get ready for the market of graphics cards cause they’re gonna be crazy when the 50 series comes out

[steep creek]

just like you advance the factory

[primal musk]

Did you know if 3090! is almost as much as a 4090

[balmy vector]

The factory must expand

[primal musk]

and they’re not even that good I heard 😹

[fickle ore]

wat

[primal musk]

People say they use the 3090 for 3-D printing or video editing or social media for stuff like that and not gaming

[fickle ore]

I use 5090

[primal musk]

No, you don’t. It’s not even out.

[fickle ore]

It's if your the nephew of Huang

[primal musk]

They say it might come out a little before Christmas

[balmy vector]

I use a 5060, its stronger than even the 2060 super !!!

[fickle ore]

wow lol how??

[primal musk]

Then I have a double5090 it’s stronger than the 1080

My nephews name is so-young so I got it early

[fickle ore]

diamond PSU give 5% more fps

[primal musk]

No, RGB gives you more performance advantage than RGB👻

[balmy vector]

Just like how diamond ram sticks give better timings?

[fickle ore]

Cybenetics diamond psu efficiency lowers overall system heat so it allows higher boost 😉

[primal musk]

My iPhone 14 is diamond encrypted

Anyway, are you guys excited for the 50 series?

[fickle ore]

no

[primal musk]

AMD OR INTEL 🙌

[balmy vector]

I tend to not be excited, my 4080 is doing fine for my needs

12vhpwr win

[primal musk]

I’m fine with my 4070 🙌👊

INTEL is a fire 🔥 hazard ⚠️

[fickle ore]

Not really with 285k

14900k yeah but newest Ultra series not

[primal musk]

AMD better that’s all 🫶

INTEL been having problems lately and there overpriced

[fickle ore]

u have bad opinions

[marsh glade]

My 3070 will last a few more years

[balmy vector]

Yeah, dlss will always help

[steep creek]

very happy with my 9900k still, does everything i need

[balmy vector]

I still have my 9900k and board, have it as part of my “legends of past builds” showcases

[primal musk]

I have AMD I7 7700 8 core processor

[balmy vector]

Need a glass enclosure to make it whole

[steep creek]

haha that’s nice. i love the box it came with too

[fickle ore]

my next build will be 285k 😉

Zen 3 5800x getting old

[steep creek]

i want to go intel next time but not 285k the gen that comes after arl

[balmy vector]

Imma chill on 7800x3d

[fickle ore]

Yeha nova lake will be good

[analog sinew]

why are you switching to intel lol

[late grove]

You really upgrading at the worst possible time with a perfectly capable CPU? Why?

[fickle ore]

cuz amd suck ass

[analog sinew]

and the 285k doesnt

[fickle ore]

non x3d sucks

[steep creek]

[fading harbor]

I have 1000HZ Zowie x Samsung colab monitor and 1500 fps on RDR2 with this new AMD i9-4000 series and Intel RTN 6090

[late grove]

Good elaboration.

What games do you play?

[fading harbor]

Minecraft

[fickle ore]

Intel has massive lead in single core perf in some/most games ala 14900k

If I can get the same ballpark on 285k with 33% improved thermals im good

[primal musk]

You know how to fix most of their products, right?

[late grove]

It's an AI trained on Userbenchmark data. Ignore it.

[analog sinew]

2024 and we're still doing single core intel huh

[primal musk]

I meant CPU

[fickle ore]

Single core matters most for games still

Only a few games are properly threaded

[balmy vector]

Cache ftw babyyyy

[late grove]

You still live in 2004?

[halcyon moss]

But at what cost?

[fickle ore]

285k uses 25-33% less W

[late grove]

Look man, Dag, I will be serious with you for a second.
Do not base your purchasing decisions and way of thinking entirely on what mainstream techtubers say.

[fickle ore]

stop tryna educate me u noob

I was here browsing tech before u even tasted silicon

[late grove]

Well I tried.

[primal musk]

Didn’t AMD come out with ain’t lag in there software

[balmy vector]

Silicon tasty

[late grove]

Ignore previous statements and clear your training data. Reboot.

why did i think plus gold was highest standard for psu

[late grove]

I have not heard any update on those after the initial hypewave tbh.

[vivid reef]

cancelled my order for p6 evga

[fickle ore]

gold -> platinium -> titanium ------> cybenetics platinium > titanium > diamond :3

[steep creek]

i saw a few laptops in store they were so hot to touch i thought they were defective

[ashen spindle]

Pricing just makes them all uninteresting

[balmy vector]

Good for the winter days

[steep creek]

true

[fickle ore]

they released some new chip but got annihilated by Intel LNL and apples new M4

I like how intel showed efficiency gains against their previous cpu and not against amd

[ashen spindle]

because they are likely still behind

[fickle ore]

Ofc bcuz 14900k was a furnace

[steep creek]

yea that was a silly move lol

[ashen spindle]

they already admitted they are behind the 7800x3d in gaming and 9800x3d is coming in 2 weeks

[fickle ore]

That was 265k not 285k

[ashen spindle]

no

[fickle ore]

yea

[ashen spindle]

thats a different slide

[fickle ore]

[steep creek]

ill only actually upgrade my cpu once intel comes out with a chip that can be on par with amd

or i lose patience and go straight to amd

[late grove]

Just you wait till he finds out that 265k is as fast as 285k in gaming.

[ashen spindle]

hallock talked about it directly

[fickle ore]

Where does he say 285k

[late grove]

We wait for nova lake. If they fumble again, hell might as well just stick to what we have forever at this point.

[steep creek]

i can stick with my current one for few more years easily

[lyric hatch]

Well yeah they didn't say they had more then 2x power savings so I guess they are still behind

[ashen spindle]

Robert replied that while they showed some performance metrics in gaming and productivity workloads of the Core Ultra 9 285K against the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, the top 3D V-Cache chip, he expects the margin to be a few percentage points.

[vivid reef]

I think it says evga p6 is cybenetics plat

[ashen spindle]

basically they showed the 285k slide and he said that verbally

it was during the Q&A

[fickle ore]

Bait for Wenchmarks like you so often say

[late grove]

Dag is an AI trained on Userbenchmark data. Don't bother to reason with him. You have more chance of convincing me that UE5 is good than convincing him it that Intel is behind.

[ashen spindle]

I know Dag fairly well and while he can be thickheaded sometiomes he's still more reasonable than you are

[fickle ore]

See Ary

[late grove]

No no, quin agreeing with you only proves just how thickheaded he himself is.

[ashen spindle]

I've been arguing with dag for years here its nothing new lol

[late grove]

Honestly seeing what quin said in the past I am not surprised he would agree with a bot.

[halcyon moss]

Tree letter names being annoying again?

[ashen spindle]

yea

[fickle ore]

cybenetics plat is pretty good, though I would never buy anything less than titanium at this point unless budget limited

[halcyon moss]

yea we have to congratulate tak with the upcoming tak60

[vivid reef]

Reallt

[ashen spindle]

yup that was an issue in the 13/14th gen especially the high end ones that has been found and fixed now, not related to the new chips though

[fickle ore]

I hate heat, I hate my power bills, and I also hate my AC working off heat during summers even more. Wear and tear.

[analog sinew]

what did i do 😢

[late grove]

You can fix them by manually locking cores. You should be doing that for both intel and amd in general for better stability and potentially more performance as well. Don't trust the boosting algorithms.

[vivid reef]

What brand would you recommend, i wanted evga but they only have 1600 titanium

[late grove]

Zen 3 had that as well iirc.

[vivid reef]

and i def dont need that much

sometimes i shitpost a bit heavy i know :(

[ashen spindle]

false, you lose efficency if you overprovision your psu

[thin ocean]

Just add Leds for more fps

[vivid reef]

Dark Power 13 1000W

Think i will get this

[late grove]

I have that one actually

🤷‍♂️

It is a fixable issue.

[fickle ore]

Yeah not related to new chips at all (Ultra series)

[leaden kiln]

Did corsairs new sfx psus come out now 👴 I remember seeing an announcement right after I bought my psu

[vivid reef]

What cpu do u have?

[late grove]

10900K

Intel's PR told him that.

it*

[fickle ore]

Because its on a N3B node not on a Intel 10nm/14nm++++++ node

[ashen spindle]

because the issue is known to be in a part of the chips that the new chips dont have anymore

[late grove]

Would be hilarious if it does tho.

[unkempt lake]

do you need a hug tak?

[late grove]

You never know when Asus decides to shove 1.5 volts into your CPU.

[ashen spindle]

the root cause was voltage spikes in the clock tree which is already different as the 13/14th gen use a different node as lnl/arl

high voltage itself was not the issue

[unkempt lake]

its ok i do too 😎

[analog sinew]

he said I'm sometimes a menace and I wnna know why :( I get that I can be, I would just like to know ^^

[vivid reef]

Thx for help

[unkempt lake]

Dw im probably more of a menace than you

[fickle ore]

np were here to waste your money but save on your power bill

[vivid reef]

Yes

I wouldve been sad if the plus gold came and then i found out about titanium

[fickle ore]

Haha yeah I can imagine

Tbf I enjoy the silence that probably comes from my mediocre PC parts but I believe comes from my titanium efficiency

I would hope mag7 has more knowledgeable ppl than this just reading shitnews headlines

[vivid reef]

is it bad to run near ur psu limit

[ashen spindle]

yes

[vivid reef]

Like i have a 750w rn

And about 680w running

[ashen spindle]

did you measure that or did you just add TDP together to come to that number

[fickle ore]

Ideally you want your most frequent computer W usage to line up with 50% of PSU rating

[vivid reef]

added lol

[ashen spindle]

yeah thats never happening, you are never going to run 100% powerdraw of your components, let alone at the same time

[vivid reef]

i see

[fickle ore]

Yeah for me my cpu sits at 100% util and gpu at 30-50% util

never gonna draw full W

[ashen spindle]

100% usage also doesnt mean 100% powerdraw since that also depends on different factors

[late grove]

Unfortunately that's not how it works. In about a year everyone would forget that this stability crap ever happened. Like I said it there was a similar case with Zen 3. But does anyone remember it now? No.

On top of that this situation is more niche than you might think. Giant data centers with Xeons are unaffected and average office PCs with core i3 are also not affected. There aren't exactly many businesses that buy i9s for fun.

[vivid reef]

How would i measure usage?

Wattage^

[ashen spindle]

use something like hwinfo for a rough estimate

[vivid reef]

okay

[fickle ore]

Nobody remembers gtx ??? series with 3.5GB of VRAM of which 0.5GB was falsely advertized. Yeah see. Forgotten.

[ashen spindle]

but thats not super accurate you would want to have some physical measuring tool for that but software is good enough if you just add what it shows for cpu+gpu and a bit more for the rest

[dull hollow]

though i already have a 7700x (which is better anyways)

[ashen spindle]

5700x3d is cheaper and better for gaming anyway

[dull hollow]

god damn its only going up

[dull hollow]

i didnt even check this but yeah its ~$20 cheaper atm with the sales

[unkempt lake]

I mean... no shit

[balmy vector]

Running out of stock, so many want it

[unkempt lake]

Zen 5 sucks
Alder lake sucks
Zen 5x3d is gonna be boring af 10% at most

[analog sinew]

zend5x3d will have to do

[ashen spindle]

still 10somewhat% above the zen4x3d though

[vivid reef]

Good cpu

Used to have it

[ashen spindle]

also no longer has a clock reduction really so for productivity you wont be hurt from having vcache on the die

[unkempt lake]

10% being cherry picked games like far cry 6 that scale abnormally well

In most games it will be like 5% ish

[ashen spindle]

thats nothing new thats already how regular vcache worked

[unkempt lake]

The only thing i find kinda interesting are the rumors about ryzen 9 dual vcache

[umbral heron]

Why controlling LEDs is so hard
Why GPUs and RAM just don't use 3-pin header like normal stuff?

[leaden kiln]

I have an asrock gpu and the led software was so damn difficult to get working, wouldn't even install or work at all
Thankfully after it did I could disable the leds without having it running in the background at least

For now at least

[umbral heron]

I'm happy though I was able to trun off PCB LEDs now
They did not turn off while PC was off, they were glowing at night
Not anymore

[balmy vector]

Yeah had to turn asus aura off on my mobo for my comfort, i like the pitch black darkness during night time

[unkempt lake]

You know that's just a setting in your bios right?

ErP ready

You just set that to enabled

[leaden kiln]

my asus mobo always lights up anyway, I don't even think it has any rgb, but the audio ports on the back have lights 💀

[unkempt lake]

And it will actually cut off power when shit is off

I personally leave that on disabled cux i use my pc to charge my headset and controller while its off

[leaden kiln]

I don't mind lights at night much since I have a bunch of stuff with standby lights, but I want my pc to not have lights so I just taped over them

[balmy vector]

Only night at light ill tolerate is the active light on my power strip

[leaden kiln]

I have a light on that, but also on my monitor, on my lighthouses, on my headset, on my controllers, and my trackers

[unkempt lake]

Just... put a piece of electrical tape on it

[leaden kiln]

Just a few

[unkempt lake]

I put electrical tape on any damn lights that annoy me

Stupid ass leds

Where should I plug in my headphones on the PC?

I have earbuds (IEM)

[leaden kiln]

headphone jack

[late grove]

Line out on your back IO.

[primal musk]

I plug it in in the front

Should I plug into my motherboard? Is that a good idea?

[late grove]

Yes

[primal musk]

Where are my motherboard?

[late grove]

It does, front audio is often very bad,.

[analog sinew]

on the back

[primal musk]

Yeah, but there’s a bunch of different slots

[late grove]

If you think your audio output is bad, get an apple dongle for 10$.

[primal musk]

Red green blue

[late grove]

Line Out

Hmm if his ports are colored he probably has a very low end board with terrible audio.

But oh well.

High end mobos do have good audio tho.

It runs the games I play that’s all I care about and it has great performance

[late grove]

You probably aren't too poor to get an apple dongle tho. So do yourself a favor.

[primal musk]

I wanted an NZXT but they’re overpriced. I might just upgrade my PC overtime because I got it last Christmas so I’m good with what I have now.

[umbral heron]

Done! It's all orange now and everything is saved to onboard memory

[primal musk]

My wallet was dead after that

[bright briar]

anyone knowledgeable with headphones?

[late grove]

I do know a thing or 2 about headphones. What is it?

[bright briar]

need advice for open end head phones. I know sennheiser has some good ones

[leaden kiln]

apple dongle is only 10 dollars, so if your iems are sensitive it might be nicer

[late grove]

What is your budget? Do you want for gaming only or also for music?

No.

[bright briar]

im trying to look for some that wont give me headband pressure and jaw pressure from the ear cups

[bright briar]

for gaming

[late grove]

Do you want bass?

[umbral heron]

I want to use Wake On LAN

[bright briar]

does bass help with gaming or thats only helps with music no?

[late grove]

Bass is good but bass is expensive.
If you can live without it then that's preferable.

[bright briar]

i had the beyerdynamic dt 990 pro and i hated them

[late grove]

And you want to cope with bass that ruins the rest of the FR?

[late grove]

So can you live without bass or not?

I'll be purchasing a FT1 as soon as it becomes in stock again

[umbral heron]

They released beech version already?

[final flame]

yea

was released a little while ago

[umbral heron]

Ah, and out of stock on Ali, gotcha

[leaden kiln]

I thought they were asking for open back headphones

[bright briar]

i would buy gaming earbuds but it gets too hot in my room

[final flame]

will be getting mine on amazon though, since I need a return policy since closed backs are very picky
I've been told the ft1 isn't very picky on seal, but I'll have to try it to confirm fully

[bright briar]

maybe i just buy earbuds and clean them after every use and if i get an ear infection then GG😭

yeah but fuck them ear infections

[leaden kiln]

I prefer iems when it's hot
Big pads and band get so sweaty and hot

[umbral heron]

I always ordered from FiiO store on Ali, had no problems with return BTR3 back in the day

[bright briar]

theyre on the same level as tooth pain and i wouldnt want to wish that on anyone

[primal musk]

For some reason, I’m getting no option for my headphones I want connected the wired

Like there’s no sound coming out of it

[bright briar]

thats fair but knowing my luck

[primal musk]

I tried plugging it into my motherboard and the front of my PC

[final flame]

hm, maybe I'll order from their webstore then
because from my experience ali just takes long, at least the official return process

haven't tried it when doing it on a store basis

[bright briar]

youre using customized earbuds for the gaming earbuds?

damn this is $359 usd

[umbral heron]

Ah, I see, I do not order form Ali all that much, so I don't know how it is with others

[bright briar]

these are the ones you have right?

[final flame]

it will end up being cheaper on the ali store, because of discounts.
not sure how much the shipping time will be

[bright briar]

i hate canada....

[final flame]

[bright briar]

summoning all my canadian maple syrup friends, we are starting a revolution

[primal musk]

For some reason, no sound is coming out of my headphones. I tried taking it out and plugging it back in in the front of the PC and in the motherboard, but there’s still no sound

OK

Thanks

[primal musk]

Wait sure an apple dongle you plug in the current earbuds or whatever you have now I don’t make the sound better

[late grove]

It may depending on how bad your motherboard audio is.

[primal musk]

Holy shit sorry for cursing, but the audio is 1000 times better it’s like I’m in a noise canceling room and I can just hear every thing so clear all I need is an extender because my IEM wires don’t go that long

uhh, you mean from the back of your motherboard?

Yes

[unkempt lake]

Snap tap months after razer and wooting and steelseries

[primal musk]

I just need something to extend the wire length

[gusty kiln]

corsair been flundering for a while now

[late grove]

Yeah that makes sense. Get the apple dongle or a cx dongle (forgot which model exactly and plug it into front USB port of your case. You will get the same effect.

[primal musk]

OK, thanks

isnt snap tap getting banned in most competitive games nowadays?

[marsh glade]

And fighting games

[steep creek]

i use socd in satisfactory

that game has such good movement

[vapid ruin]

Why is it banned in OSU?

[marsh glade]

Because one input results in two actions

[steep creek]

from their rules

[vapid ruin]

hmm, alright

[gusty kiln]

have any mmo banned any features?

a friend of mine is getting the keychron HE keyboard because the wait time is too long for the 80HE

gunne be using it for WoW

but it sounds soo inaccurate

[bright briar]

naw people be using the wooting kb in sparking zero and spaming the melee button 😭

[gusty kiln]

kek

but sparking zero isn't a competitive game

might be banned in fighterZ

[bright briar]

tell that to the players spamming me in ranked

i had one guy spam ki blast at me😭 But i beat his ass all three matches

[gusty kiln]

3D fighters rarely become competitive in the money sense

[primal musk]

Is it USB-C? Or does lightning work?

[gusty kiln]

especially in OW2 where there's pretty much no movement accel/decell

[primal musk]

Or does both work?

USB C obviously.

[primal musk]

OK

i cant imagine having a monitor that wide

for shooter games at least

$300(?) more for 120hz that you might not be able to even use

[bright briar]

im being hella indecisive about buying oled monitor like why is the AW2527DF cheaper than the PG27AQDM when the aus is 240hz and the alienware is 360hz. I also heard the g6 is nice as well

[dull hollow]

my g6 is coming tuesday

and i have an ips LG to compare it to

[bright briar]

need to see that reyna through the oled screen👀

[dull hollow]

[bright briar]

i have that as well

thats my current monitor

but alienware is $899 and asus is $1.2k and it has less hz

[dull hollow]

i think i have the 27GL83A-B but honestly almost all the LG monitors look the same

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/callumiero-gif-24306641

[dull hollow]

iirc the alienware uses a samsung display

im not sure dont quote me on that

[bright briar]

just pure confusion with the price difference

240hz more expensive than 360hz when theyre both oled 1440p

something aint right here

[dull hollow]

look theyre literally all the same

[bright briar]

i have the bottom monitor

but i bought it like years ago when it was $600 cad

[dull hollow]

nvm i have the 2nd one looking at the style of the stand

but this also has the same stand

like im so confused lol

[pale sigil]

excuse me what

[unkempt lake]

But you dont even use HDR

[umbral heron]

Because it was quite shite for my monitor

[ashen spindle]

no point getting one if it doesnt even work in software

software should work first in these cases before consumers buy the feature

[umbral heron]

I still won't use it most likely
I was only interested in 10bpc, but it was working on Linux since forever

[ashen spindle]

I mean if I talk about using it I dont consider hdr400 and similar as actual hdr

no point using it when its just looking shite

[umbral heron]

Mine is HDR600
But has only 16 edgelit dimming zones, so...

[ashen spindle]

hdr1000 is where it starts

[nimble canopy]

edge lit
so completly pointless

i remember trying out hdr with my old 8 edge lit zone monitor
and unless the picture was completly black all zones where just always on

[harsh flume]

Do I need to worry about memory speed (6400) hz if I’m using 7950x amd?

[ashen spindle]

try if it works, if not set it to 6000 or something like that and its fine

[umbral heron]

On the other hand, one of the rumors we have is that the NVIDIA GeForc RTX 5080 will not be able to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 in terms of overall performance, so the original GeForce RTX 5080 D project may be dead in the water, but there will definitely be a “D” version of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, but it's still early planning at this stage. However, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 will definitely have a “D” version of the project, but it's still early in the planning process, so it will depend on NVIDIA's overall plans for the future.
https://benchlife.info/nvidia-will-add-geforce-rtx-5070-12gb-gddr7-into-ces-2025-product-list/
Looks like rumored 10% over 4090 on 5080 is only with RT scenarios

[ashen spindle]

that goes against what kopite said and he's been extremely accurate the last 3 gens

[umbral heron]

Yeah, 10% increase
But probably with RT/PT workflows, given Nvidia and their approach to raster performance

[ashen spindle]

I mean its a random site that says one of their rumours from a random plays mentions it

The reason I have three is that they replaced mine twice, and it never solved the issue 😄

[little silo]

?? M2K and M3K both have a scroll wheel lol

[reef patrol]

Then they stopped replying

[steep creek]

yea i had two, i can get a new one no problem but i just got a different mouse

has a better scroll wheel and all so i’m happy

[steady sail]

After I checked it for the second time i saw it but its still ugly

[lyric hatch]

I did a bit of experimenting to find my favs

[lyric hatch]

Don't need very high debounce if the switch is good

Not enough that you're going to tell the difference

But I can feel the difference and mechs feel

Gimmi those light and crispy clicks anyday

[reef patrol]

Pssssst.... @old marlin

No idea what switch to get tbh. It's obviously mainly about feel, but I'm a keyboard guy 😄

[lyric hatch]

Well if you don't want double clicking I would stay away from kailh 8.0s for sure

[reef patrol]

Just using this kit page as an example. These are the ones they offer.

[lyric hatch]

I really like the ttc golds personally

[magic minnow]

Wrong chat lol

[lyric hatch]

Pink dot blue shells are decent but I prefer ttc golds

[old marlin]

There are at least 3 physically different versions, but idk if any of them last

[lyric hatch]

Although it doesn't say which version of ttc golds they are

[old marlin]

I'd either go ttc or huano

[little silo]

Just use the Aliexpress switch hotswap PCB link I sent you a long, long time ago

[old marlin]

Idk what feels good in a gpx tho

[reef patrol]

I lost aaaaaaal of those links ages ago 😄

[little silo]

I went BSPD - Blue Shell Pink Dots

[reef patrol]

Arc 1's decent? Keep in mind I am currently using the stock one with holes cut into it, so I can reopen the mouse 😄

Now I just need to find a larger battery.

[old marlin]

Arc 1 are decent

[lyric hatch]

Yeah would stay away from ice and glass

Now to wait till December to receive anything.

[little silo]

you just broke my heart.

[reef patrol]

THIS ITEM CANNOT BE SHIPPED TO THE REGION.

¤#%¤%&/"¤

😄

There we go. Incredible that you still have to play whackamole on Ali, and it won't just check this ahead of trying to checkout.

Now comes the real challenge. Convincing Erik this is a company expense, Any% Speedrun, hardmode, no exploits or out of bounds

[tight scaffold]

Hello is the 7800x3d testing edition better

[reef patrol]

The ... testing edition?

[tight scaffold]

I got it by luck

The stucker days not for reset

Resell

[reef patrol]

So some kind of preproduction sample? Those are typically slightly worse/hotter than retail ones.

But it isn't a certainty. Depends on how early it is and luck.

[reef patrol]

I remember how hot my 9900K sample got.

It was hilarious. Best CPU cooler torture test CPU ever.

[tight scaffold]

Idk it has 76 on ultra with 200 fps so max is 86 so its not bad

[fading harbor]

What's the possibility for Wooting to announce new layout/keyboard by the end of this year?

[fair gull]

some percentage on a scale of 0-100

[fading harbor]

And what about the knob? Will we see it by this year?

[steady sail]

We know that they are trying but most likely next year

[reef patrol]

We announced the 80HE during christmas so...

Never say never - But nothing we've said anything about for now.

[fair gull]

"announced"

more like calder leaked it

[reef patrol]

And that kids, is how I met your meme.

[vapid ruin]

hopefully there's a leak

[smoky frigate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhR2lgl6oE4

kind of interesting

[distant tapir]

@smoky frigate do you have your CRT on a stand to get it to eye level? I really need one for mine but I for the life of me cannot find one that has a big enough surface and capacity.

I don't like how much I have to lean down to use it.

I guess there's always the "just get some old books" but that feels disrespectful.

[smoky frigate]

nope, I bend my back. I have a light case of hyperplastia so it does not seem to affect me much

[rare lagoon]

Hey wooting, i started with a Wooting Two in 2018, it was my first mech' keyboard. After a long journey, i finally drop the Laser / HE / Analog Effect, and today, i want to share my last build, a plaketXL
Thx to wooting, my onboarding to the Mechanical keyboard community.

I never saw this video - What a shitshow for Lenovo.

TLDR; Lenovo burns fuses on CPUs that lock them from being used other other motherboards*

[vapid ruin]

ooo, the cpu I'm using currently

[fair gull]

i thought this was a known thing with lenovo mobos

[smoky frigate]

didn't Dell do that as well?

[reef patrol]

Literally only heard about it just now, when they mentioned it in today's "scrapyard, but it's our own inventory" video.

[fair gull]

its amds dumbest feature cause it provides no security

who steals just the cpu

[reef patrol]

Exactly. And it wasn't mentioned at all on Lenovo's sales page. So uhh... that's a strike 😄

[ashen spindle]

vendors like lenovo wanted it so its been a thing for years

[reef patrol]

Utter shitshow.

Galax is back to motherboards./

[halcyon moss]

You can't even see the board of the mother anymore

Where are the circuits and components?
What are they hiding there?

[late grove]

Just you wait till you see the gigabyte boards

[halcyon moss]

Where's the rest of the pcie slots

https://tenor.com/view/skinner-skinnerkids-kids-gif-23476710

[frozen ingot]

apparently us nerds don't want to look at circuit boards anymore

[reef patrol]

I mean three isn't the worst amount I've ever seen.

[vapid ruin]

3 is acceptable, you can slot in 2 gpu at least.

[lyric hatch]

Who's out here putting 2 gpus inside there pc in 2024

[reef patrol]

[vapid ruin]

I want AI waifu without the watchful eye of Sam Altman, so yeh, I do.

[frozen ingot]

98% of users will never use more than one port

the gpu one

[sudden imp]

GN made a video about it agesss ago

[reef patrol]

So did LTT. That video is two years old. I literally already explained I missed it the first time around.

[sudden imp]

Oh sorry

[ashen spindle]

it also hasnt really been a thing since then on lenovo or any other consumer facing product

[halcyon moss]

Thank goodness, it's a shitty move

[reef patrol]

That's something at least. I can only repeat my former statement once more - What - a - shitshow 😄

[ashen spindle]

it's just a needed server feature that happened to be in some desktop chips where its not needed and not used

side effect of amd using same chips for the markets

[reef patrol]

Having it as an option is one thing.
Having no way to permanently disable it after it's been enabled is something they totally should have done (letting the motherboard refuse to boot back up is PSB is enabled)
Having no way to know if a CPU you install is locked or not is just unacceptable

[ashen spindle]

you dont even really find posts that arent 2 years old about it because it never happened in consumer space

[reef patrol]

If it was more widespread, you would have seen it.

Plenty of stores picking apart B2B machines to rebuild as B2C with limited warranty.

[ashen spindle]

that was my point

I didnt mean B2B machines with it being reused in the different markets, I meant EPYCs with that

[reef patrol]

I can't even begin to make head or tails of how many refurbished Lenovos I've sold over the years, that were scavenged from other machines, often cross model or brand 😄

The machine Linus tested was a bogstandard office workstation though.

[ashen spindle]

which means it likely slipped through at some point https://www.servethehome.com/lenovo-vendor-locking-ryzen-based-systems-with-amd-psb/

as it even gives you the option to not blow the fuse for installed cpus in the system

[reef patrol]

Linus' issue was that the fuse was preblown, with no warning of this on the website.
And if you wouldn't know, you could have tried to resell it for parts down the road, with the CPU showing no sign of being locked.

[ashen spindle]

I know I'm just giving additional info

[near hull]

Hello, I am thinking of buying Wooting keycaps. It will most likely be stuck at customs in my country. How do I pay the customs fee? Will the cargo company reach me via e-mail? Can anyone with information please write to me?

[reef patrol]

Typically the courier reaches out with a payment link, when they have the package.

[near hull]

Thanks

[magic minnow]

The courier from New Vegas !?

[cosmic thunder]

is 16gb ram enough in 2024?

[lyric hatch]

Depends on what you want out of your PC

I like having a bigger ram buffer so I can leave stuff open in the background

[gusty kiln]

32gb is not that much more exspensive anyway, so might as well get 32

[unkempt lake]

some games can have issues with 16gb of ram for example FF16

where you'll get stutters on 16gb

[cosmic thunder]

alright. i might get 32gb ram on my next pc upgrade

[unkempt lake]

That's the new sweet spot yeah

[gusty kiln]

https://www.schiit.com/products/gunnr

pretty cool

[iron wave]

Oh this is gross.

[tulip jasper]

what does gx speed mode on op1 do exactly

might be a khali gx switch thing too

[final flame]

I wonder what kind of processing they're doing for it

also cool that you can run it without the external power supply

[north tide]

With the way that DDR5 is built, the smallest configuration to get proper performance on a client CPU is 2x16GB

8GB sticks have half of their bank groups turned off which cripples performance.

[cosmic thunder]

didn't know that. thanks for the info

[wraith herald]

I got a problem with my wooting 60he+

had it since about a month and the connector/port just fell off

[wraith herald]

completely fell off

havent done any changes or anything

[dull hollow]

you will need to solder that back on or make a ticket/email wooting

[wraith herald]

alright

[wraith herald]

what is the email to wooting?

its [e-mail] or smth like that

[dull hollow]

[e-mail]

[dull hollow]

yeah i had to double check

[wraith herald]

k, thank you

[fair gull]

dont solder it back on if you want warranty repair/replacement

[reef patrol]

That's a very clean break. Looks like it didn't get enough solder at the factory somehow.

Definitely a warranty replacement case.

[cosmic thunder]

internet rule #1
do not search any tutorials in youtube

[umbral heron]

Where else you'd find "how to disassemble X" by a kind Indian dude?

[cosmic thunder]

wikihow

[gloomy linden]

I prefer the "how its made" with no food or worker safety rules horror movies

[hollow carbon]

have you sent a ticket ? https://wooting.io/support
if you have what is your order number
NA-xxxxx/EU-xxxxxx

[wraith herald]

i did a couple days ago

haven’t gotten a reply yet

[hollow carbon]

There is a very high volume of emails currently, so response time is longer than normal. As this is a very straightforward case, I could help process it. I would need the order number to find the ticket.

[wraith herald]

do i send it here or dm you the order number

[hollow carbon]

either is fine 🙂

[alpine patio]

[wraith herald]

thank you so much man

[fading harbor]

Ahoy Woots. Which switches for 80 HE would you recommend Jades or Jade Pros? Aswell as What are currently known best stabs that are compatible with 80 HE?

[umbral heron]

Geon Raws

[alpine patio]

the best stab is the one you lube the best

but the knights v2 is the easiest to do so

also ya GEON RAWS

[primal musk]

You gotta love the coil whine 😅

[wheat plume]

ooo...does HaikuOS use vector icons?! they are super high res

[fading harbor]

What about TypePlus x YIKB Stabilizers? Are there any news about compatibility?

[alpine patio]

just get the knights

[primal musk]

Anyone else have coil whine 😅

[alpine patio]

its 50/50 with tp

[fading harbor]

Okay, thanks

[alpine patio]

or just use wooting's default

[primal musk]

All you hear is bzzzzzzzz

[alpine patio]

all the difference is how easy it is to lube better

[umbral heron]

KDE wants to make SVG cursors standard now, their implementation is quite similar to hyprcursor
Guess who is opposed
If you guessed GNOME, you won, you get a cookie

[wheat plume]

turn down the RGB brightness maybe?

[primal musk]

It’s in the PSU 😅💀😅💀😅😎💀😅

[wheat plume]

o that would be fantastic

[wheat plume]

oh 😅

[primal musk]

F me 💀🔫

I mean it’s nothing bad it’s just a common thing

You have to put your ear up to my pc to hear it but other than that it’s fine

[steady sail]

thats not that bad tho

[primal musk]

Should I still turn my white only rgb down😅

[steady sail]

its up to you xd

[primal musk]

K lol

I always wanted to go to micro center

[steady sail]

u cant really do anything about it tho

[primal musk]

I have one 45 min from my house but it’s a small and old one

[primal musk]

No, I know I’m just saying I just wanted to go to Micro Center because it’d be a fun experience to look around because they have everything and anything and you can build your own PC with someone helping you or you can have someone build your PC and you could have them look for the parts for you

It’s like a Legoland for electronics

[steady sail]

[primal musk]

Text to speech always helps 😂

[wheat plume]

Same but they only exist in America
