[rough osprey]

and has holes in da side

[old marlin]

2D comparisons really don't tell you all that much

esp if you got no clue what you are looking at

[deft raptor]

Yeah, no clue what look for lol

[charred nexus]

42g 🤷🏻‍♂️

[rough osprey]

where is big akitsu

[leaden kiln]

I need that one finalmouse that's blir and white to match my mousepad

[rough osprey]

im not heavy weight lifter sry

[charred nexus]

i need a smaller akitsu

[old marlin]

for example

that looks to be stupid wide

[rough osprey]

op?

[old marlin]

the xm1 shape actually gets quite slim towards the middle tho

[old marlin]

op1 has the curves going all the way up

[rough osprey]

close enough

same brand

[old marlin]

but yea, the concept is shorter xm1

[old marlin]

different "designers" though

[deft raptor]

oh lol, I saw op1 on amazon

[old marlin]

the xm1 is very much johnny r

the op1 is fr3ak

the op1 is even named after fr3ak lol

[deft raptor]

I lean more toward claw/finger tips style than fully gripping the whole mouse

[leaden kiln]

I printed out an op1 and it felt nice

[rough osprey]

both mid shapes

[leaden kiln]

I was thinking of getting the 8k

[old marlin]

I like the op1 shape

but there are shapes that I prefer

[rough osprey]

too slim for me

[rough osprey]

not da anime pad

[old marlin]

is miku anime

[leaden kiln]

nah

Maybe

[deft raptor]

Not miku

[rough osprey]

none of them are from actual animes

[old marlin]

yea but this is from an actual IP

[charred nexus]

i gonna start saying that you should go try out all the shapes in a shop but i realize not every one have a peripheral shop nearby

[old marlin]

not just AI generated bs

[rough osprey]

buy them

and return if you dont like

[analog sinew]

there are mouse shops that stock these?

[deft raptor]

Exactly, I can go to best buy or staples but all I could see is just big fucking brands like logitech, razer, maybe corsair

[rough osprey]

live in japan or sum

[deft raptor]

@leaden kiln the printed Op1 lets you do the claw ?

[charred nexus]

thats one way to do it (if your country have laws that allows that, which mine dont)

[rough osprey]

oh rip

eu best

[deft raptor]

Eh, buying overseas and return these could suck

[leaden kiln]

I think I could probably pull it off, my hands aren't huge but I think I generally fingertip mostly

[charred nexus]

nah i dont need to buy it i can just go to a shop and try it out

[deft raptor]

fingertip is fine too, I also use it.

[rough osprey]

the popular ones ye

[old marlin]

just know if a shape fits you, duh

they are very iterative anyways

barely anything fresh in the market

[charred nexus]

yeah Wallhack is the goat, i dun fw AI gen glasspad

[rough osprey]

tbh you get kinda good at it after a few mice

[old marlin]

yea since there is so little new stuff

[rough osprey]

😭

[leaden kiln]

I sold my old pad after I got the miku
The art is so good I'll never take the yuki pad out again

[deft raptor]

Yeah, unless we grow tentacles. We are stuck with human hands.

[old marlin]

you can still trace back the original shapes of most mice back to like 2002 or something

[rough osprey]

how does the cf wlmouse still weigh the same bruh

i thought we getting da next step

[old marlin]

cf ain't magic

[analog sinew]

[rough osprey]

they just lazy

[deft raptor]

Btw, Op1 can be found on amazon

[charred nexus]

dunno about you but there’s ULX, Pulsar, OP1, Akitsu, WLMouse and others

[rough osprey]

what kinda store is that

[charred nexus]

A store that sells mouse

[leaden kiln]

in stock ulx
your local store is nuts

[rough osprey]

cool

[deft raptor]

Lemme check for the local mouse store. brb 2 min

[charred nexus]

Good thing to be living in HK

[vagrant grove]

I’ve just connected my wooting 60he+ but none of my keys are working but windows, alt and tab. Anyone know how to fix this?

[cosmic thunder]

go to the wooting hub

[charred nexus]

Damn I just realized they also have Hitscan Hyperlight, kinda wanna buy one

[analog sinew]

unplug it and replug it and dont touch for few seconds

[cosmic thunder]

eat donut

[charred nexus]

And Xlite v4 Quiccs Edition in stock, damn I haven’t been there for a long time. I think I should go there this week

[vagrant grove]

Didn’t work

[alpine patio]

open up wootility

[vagrant grove]

Fixed it

[cosmic thunder]

see? eating donut fixes everything

[charred nexus]

but i dont have donut

[rough osprey]

i do

[charred nexus]

eat donut

[cosmic thunder]

let me cook

[charred nexus]

cook donut?

[cosmic thunder]

yes

[charred nexus]

ok me hungy

gib donut

[umbral heron]

Ooo, good idea
Was 3 weeks already since when I made donut

[leaden kiln]

donut skate

[umbral heron]

[leaden kiln]

not donuts but crazy skate setup

[charred nexus]

my ass thought these are onion rings

[umbral heron]

Cheese donuts
Or I guess quark

[charred nexus]

[leaden kiln]

I put one dot on the bottom

[cosmic thunder]

https://images.app.goo.gl/uK3qvTffGmR3XSNq8

[leaden kiln]

Just have a good sense of balance

[deft raptor]

sus image

[charred nexus]

and its fast asf, truly goated placement

[cosmic thunder]

what? it's just donuts OwO

[charred nexus]

sure

[deft raptor]

pwnage and wlmouse looks good, light weight. Gotta figure the max size of mouse for me.

btw, Op1 has mechanical switches for left and right clicks. Not the optical kind.

[charred nexus]

ngl i dont find it an issue, as long as its good quality mech swiches

[deft raptor]

Good to know

Right now, I lean towards op1 for faster shipping

[charred nexus]

also i think they have warranty

[deft raptor]

Sadly, the pwnage store is sold out for all custom mices

[umbral heron]

Is the Korad KA3005D good? Looking for some cheap bench power supply, a lot of people seem to recommend this one

[deft raptor]

It is a good linear power supply

However, there's tons of used hp power supplies online which are better

[analog sinew]

kinky

[umbral heron]

Oooh, I see, 3005 is 30V5A version, 3010 is 30V10A one, finally model numbers that make sense

[deft raptor]

Grimmicy or not for adjustable sensor location from Pwnage Stormbreaker ?

[wild coyote]

calslock I'd like to request cookies from you!

[charred nexus]

depends on your preference, someone like having it forward for less wrist rotation when moving left and right, some like it more backward for a more "stable" movement using higher sens

[umbral heron]

session_59105c40-5dff-4580-98f3-a1a68c49dfca
There you go

[deft raptor]

Alright, Stormbreaker then. I move my mouse in ways that might require to adjust the location of sensor

[cosmic thunder]

nice cookies

[cedar fog]

got your ip address now

[charred nexus]

i dont accept this cookie

[wild coyote]

Internet cookies aren't tasty, gibb real cookies NOW!!!

[gloomy linden]

You can print it out?

[charred nexus]

how you grip the mouse tho, that shape is more of palm/relax claw/claw grip.

[umbral heron]

[cedar fog]

no no no

i got the real one

[umbral heron]

It's here, I have it too

[deft raptor]

Eh, for me I go in this order of relax claw/claw grip/finger tips

[umbral heron]

[charred nexus]

if you do claw/ relax claw i think its fine, cuz i do ft and its not really a shape for ft grip

[cedar fog]

wait one sec cals ima ping u

[wild coyote]

Fight me in IPv4 war

[umbral heron]

stop

[charred nexus]

fight me

[cosmic thunder]

but what can you do with those ip addresses?

[charred nexus]

idk, nothing?

[umbral heron]

No idea
I can just unplug my modem for 5 seconds and will get another one

[cosmic thunder]

clever

[charred nexus]

i have my IP tie to a domain

[umbral heron]

DDNS

[charred nexus]

hell yeah

[cosmic thunder]

you own domain?

dang

[charred nexus]

i didnt buy it, i rent it from Google Domain (But Google killed it)

[umbral heron]

Unblock 22

[cosmic thunder]

[cedar fog]

unblock 25565 !!!

and start the server

[charred nexus]

give me 5900

[cosmic thunder]

but then there will be like hundreds of ssh login attempt on it

[charred nexus]

yes i need to put a zip bomb on there

[neon silo]

i remember seeing that on my computer for the first time lmao

[cosmic thunder]

me too

[deft raptor]

Give me 100$ and I will double it for you.

[charred nexus]

let me guess, its between 0 and 65535

[deft raptor]

Ironcat looks to be the OEM maker for mouses sold on pwnage website excluding the stormbreaker

[severe phoenix]

Huh

Those who tried to scalp things not limited, yes. 😛

[magic minnow]

Mango has one

[charred nexus]

i forgot today is drop 3 of the white vmse, i want one buy im not sure if i can sell my black one

i dont wanna keep two vmse for nothing

[deft raptor]

I found the right mouse that looks like it was sold on pwnage as gaming mouse "Ironcat Incott HPC01M" == https://pwnage.com/collections/gaming-mouse/products/ultra-custom-symm-2-gaming-mouse

[charred nexus]

iirc their newer mouse aint oem anymore

but im not sure, im only interested in them after the stormbreaker

[deft raptor]

Interesting, you can configure the mouse by itself like wlmouse ones

[old marlin]

their old mice used to just be customized F&G designs

[deft raptor]

Yeah, I learned about the F&G designs stuff. Anyway, I am torn between choosing Pwnage Stormbreaker or Endgame OP1
Update, I went with Op1 8k ( polling rate will be set to 1k just in case, will check if the polling rate at 8k can cause fps drops in games )

[deft raptor]

G502 and Mx Master 2s are too big for my hand, wew I should have picked the right size

[leaden kiln]

https://youtu.be/PuYSOoHrQAQ

[coral oracle]

X-Raypad Obsidian Skates or superglides ?

[leaden kiln]

I've heard superglides slow down after a while(I haven't used mine enough personally), I'd go for ptfe but it depends on what you're looking for

[coral oracle]

which one

[rough osprey]

obsidian for slower and jade for faster

[coral oracle]

jade?

[leaden kiln]

i think it's like jade > jade air > obsidian > obsidian air > obsidian pro > obsidian pro air
For xraypads skates from fastest to slowest

[jaunty marsh]

can i take you up on that offer?

[reef patrol]

You were told not five minutes ago not to go fishing for old comments to necropost reply to.
@bold coyote yeet them to the bad place or something.

[crimson wigeon]

Thin clients are hot again?

[reef patrol]

Or Microsoft is trying to make them cool again I guess.

https://tenor.com/view/fetch-regina-george-mean-girls-santa-hat-mean-gif-5497996

[charred nexus]

Thin client to the cloud seems like a bad idea

Yeah I remember my old school used to have old pc with them huge ass crt on the desk, then they got fundings from the gov to switch to thin clients our IT teacher (which is also the IT dep head for some reason) said that they swap to thin clients is the best decision they made

[crimson wigeon]

Eh my experience is from school back in like 2004, it was horribly slow and sluggish to use and unreliable

Hated using those things

[halcyon moss]

most thin clients these days are fat clients

[crimson wigeon]

There were only a few of those around though, most were proper fat computers

Perhaps but at least using them was not a slideshow

[halcyon moss]

back in the days i experimented with a linux rdp server which allowed the browser for example to run locally

true. i tihnk it used rdp though. worked decently wel

[charred nexus]

I think the school redid their whole network, i dont remember they got 1G switches each floor with like 6 classroom and like a couple 10G switches for the computer lab and the servers back in 2014 or something

He did said it’s quite overkill for that purpose but I think at that time they were also planning for e learning

Consider that’s like 30 student each class 6 class would be 180 students using iPad or whatever Android tablet they bought having 10G isn’t really that overkill

Meh, they probably got enough budget to make it more future proof.

I think they have get into doing 3D Printing and laser etchings pretty early on, but im not sure what they are doing after that lol

[wild coyote]

Finally got the one mouse that people in here recommended

We got friends on this one 🗣️ 🗣️

[fair gull]

thats not a wooting

[analog sinew]

do you make mouses

[gloomy linden]

Technically any keyboard with a numpad can serve as a mouse, at least on windows and linux

[wild coyote]

It may not be wooting, but certainly better than Razer

[gloomy linden]

So they kinda do, so wooting makes some of the worst mice, time to improve

[wild coyote]

I already got the 80HE, game is game

[analog sinew]

🤢

[gloomy linden]

Hey I didnt say it is a fun experience and it is even more of a reson to improve the wooting mouse

Especially on the 60 and 80he... got to use the function layer for it

[analog sinew]

2he 😎

stay winning

Oooooh

Might actually be a usable solution for my retro mac

[feral skiff]

Pretty solid

[lilac shoal]

Hello guys, I just received my motherboard and the box came opened, should I be worried about anything ?

[reef patrol]

Definitely check the stickers holding the ESD bag closed and take photos of everything. In case it's a returned product you got sold as new.

[lilac shoal]

Don't see any stickers

[scenic thunder]

Someone got sold someone elses return lol

[reef patrol]

There's usually a piece of sticker/ tape holding it closed. If it was removed, you should still see some glue residue along the edge.

[lilac shoal]

Nope, there's nothing

[scenic thunder]

Was this something you ordered from an online vendor that would have sourced from a local shop/bought from a local shop?

The only alternative is if it was on the floor and shown to a customer, if you bought it via a reseller on a website, but that just looks like someone bought it, returned it, and you got the return

[lilac shoal]

Took it from galaxus that was listed jere

https://www.galaxus.fr/en/s1/product/asrock-b650-steel-legend-wifi-white-atx-am5-retail-am5-amd-b650-atx-motherboards-43245858?supplier=2705624

[reef patrol]

It might be brand new. It would be somewhat obvious if it wasn't, because people always manage to leave fingerprints or thermal paste somewhere. Definitely carefully pop the CPU cover off and look for bent pins.

If anything seems off, contact the seller and explain the situation.

[scenic thunder]

They do refurbishing, so make sure they didn't just sell you a refurbished unit by accident

[lilac shoal]

Bios is 3,0,6 so it seems pretty recent since it support 9800x3d

I'll try to look for bent pins and fingerprints

[reef patrol]

Doesn't say it's refurbished - So by law it can't be.

[scenic thunder]

quick google search, multple posts on galaxus own website of people receiving "NEW" units that have clearly been opened and used by customers

https://www.galaxus.ch/en/productrating/the-supplier-sold-a-previously-opened-package-to-me-7942045

just one for fun

[reef patrol]

They may have opened it to do a BIOS flash though. Not uncommon - Though there's usually a sticker on the box stating "Ready for XXXX"

[scenic thunder]

Personally i would be contacting them today about it lol

[reef patrol]

Sure - Might as well go through everything and take any photos as needed before emailing them though.

[lilac shoal]

Yeah I have a friend that speaks Deutsch that is contacting them for me

I don't see any speck of dust or fingerprint it seems new and shiny

[reef patrol]

Bit insulting to send a German to speak to the French no?

[lilac shoal]

It's in German sooooo

Yeah from my amateur eyes it seems new
I'll check the pins

[reef patrol]

Ah they're international. You were sharing a .fr domain 😄

I was wondering why it was so easy to read in English. That's usually not something the French do.

[lilac shoal]

Yeah sorry they are located in Germany but ship to France

I checked, it really seems brand new, not even a speck of dust, uv light don't light anything, I don't see a bent CPU pin (but they're so small, I looked really hard with magnifying and couldn't see anything strange

[lilac shoal]

I speak more English than french nowadays so I sure hope I am understandable hahaha

Yeah I looked at them, one by one with magnifying
No dent pins

Do I just carry on with the installation, like could anything go wrong with the board if there's no bent CPU? Or do I wait for information about my friend calling ?

Also I can see this on the shield

A little blue sticker

Which don't seem to cover anything

[reef patrol]

You're supposed to pull it.

There's a clear piece of plastic on the patterned top. It's being protected from scuff in shipping.

[lilac shoal]

Oh, I see, does it make it approved new or not really ?
I can't see anything wrong with it but I have no knowledge of those things, just want to be careful

[reef patrol]

It is most likely brand new. They may have opened it to flash the 9000 series BIOS on it and packed it back up. That is normal.

If you didn't spot any bent pins, fingerprints or other smudges, I wouldn't worry.

[lilac shoal]

I'll trust you then, and will continue with the installation
Seeing that the CPU can run on it without update, would you still recommend to flash or make use of the autoupdates in the bios ? Don't know if that makes a difference, but better ask than be sorry

[reef patrol]

See if it powers on, then do the flashback if it won't. Doesn't matter that the CPU is already installed.

[lilac shoal]

So I just install everything and try to turn it on
If it does, then good nothing bad can happen and I can update it by some way after
If it doesn't, flashback

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/definitely-maybe-romance-comedy-ryan-reynolds-yep-gif-5008341450946414225

Might want to start with just one stick of RAM till you hit the post screen.

[lilac shoal]

so everything on but only 1 stick of ram
I have to installe windows and everything, so I'm just trying to process the steps in my head, sorry haha

[unkempt lake]

Why would you do everything on one stick

Just plop your 2 sticks in already

Only do 1 stick if you have some issues

[lilac shoal]

From what was said above, I thought that was something to do

[reef patrol]

Just until you get that first bootup to the POST screen and can go into BIOS 🙂

Then you can set your RAM XMP/EXPO settings, save and shut down. Pop the other RAM in, wait for it to boot again and start installing Windose

[lilac shoal]

Oh I see what you mean
Setting up everything until I put the two sticks in

Do I have to take care of anything beside enabling expo on the ram ?

[unkempt lake]

I say pop the 2 sticks in then install windows then at the very end enable xmp

[unkempt lake]

Expo's the only thing you have to tweak, i suggest updating your bios as well if it's not already up to date

[scenic thunder]

Aa long as you documented the fact the box was already open when you received it with the company, you might as well proceed with installation as normal

[lilac shoal]

It's 3.0.6 and I have a 3.10 stick ready

[scenic thunder]

Oh there's discord updating the chat well after I hit send lol

[unkempt lake]

I say do that before installing windows

Or xmp

[lilac shoal]

I honestly don't know anything about that, so I might have to look a bit

[unkempt lake]

Just pop everything in, update bios, install windows, enable xmp

[lilac shoal]

I took a lot of photos yeah

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/ngyni0nnTXA?si=6rRI0vADoIV2GmVH

[lilac shoal]

Yeah bios update has been launched, I was talking about expo settings, that's something I never look into or did

[unkempt lake]

Oc tweaker

Dram profile configuration

[scenic thunder]

Is that background as rock stock? Holy shit lol

[unkempt lake]

That's the livemixer's background

[lilac shoal]

Update is finished, I'll install everything , install windows, and look into this

I followed the manual stating to only connect the 24 pin before update so I did

[unkempt lake]

Menu is the same for a steel legend, just diff bg lol

[scenic thunder]

Ooh it's a streamer mobo, no wonder it's artsy lol

[unkempt lake]

I mean the mobo itself is like bright orange lmao

[scenic thunder]

Honestly kinda love the style

Yee I'm looking at the product page, this is like something directly out of the mid 2000's lol

The purple version too. Goddamn that's neat

[lilac shoal]

Should I be worried if CPU socket is hard to close ? And make some noise ? I did install the cpu the right way though

[steady sail]

There is a chance that the little arrow is pointing to the wrong way

[lilac shoal]

The little holes are placed and the CPU seems stable, can't seem to go deeper or anything wonder if I can send a video here

It had a socket, but the top flew off when it started making noises

[steady sail]

Can u wiggle the cpu inside the socket ?

[steady sail]

Its weird

[lilac shoal]

Should I just try to close it nonetheless ? It just feels really weird I never had this

Granted I only did CPU mounting twixe

[steady sail]

You can try

[lilac shoal]

Well it closed

Guess it's the metal against the plastic that did the noise or something

But that's still weird

[ashen spindle]

yes am5 does require a decent amount of force to lock down

that amount of resistance seems correct

[unkempt lake]

bends socket, cpu burns

[shrewd jay]

Does anyone know the difference in the Msi qd oled and rog strix qd oled? They’re similar in price, and I’m going to buy one during this Black Friday sale.

[scenic thunder]

AMD mountings always felt kinda bad

they went from needing to balance 2 metal fins on an unattached bar to get any leverage and clamp it down on old gens, to making it feel like your breaking it on new gens

shit works tho

[frozen ingot]

its not much different to an intel socket now really

[rough osprey]

lets make one big screw mount

[scenic thunder]

amount of force specifically, the bar on my intel chip barely needs any force to be fully mounted and in place

I set my fiance's desktop not that long ago with an amd chip and that video brought back the memories of feeling like i was breaking it lol

[frozen ingot]

was a bit scary pressing that cpu down for sure

[daring widget]

where my wooting it been 2 week 😰

[charred nexus]

I ate it

[daring widget]

knew it

[charred nexus]

my bad, i will try not to eat it next time

[lilac shoal]

Anything I can do about this ?

[reef patrol]

Yes. But you're going to have to use the console a tad.

[lilac shoal]

In bios, you mean ?

[reef patrol]

No.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f81qKAJUdKc

[lilac shoal]

Thanks a buncj

[reef patrol]

Ugh... this one clears the drive as well. HANG ON

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/wheel-keep-calm-hang-on-inspiration-gif-12692607

[reef patrol]

I give up. None of the guides will show it without formatting the drive. But there are tools.

[unkempt lake]

@lilac shoal do you have anything important on the drive?

Also do you still have your old pc (if you had one)

[lilac shoal]

I did a backup of what was needed of this drive

[unkempt lake]

Then just nuke it

[lilac shoal]

I just formatted a wrong one by accident, oh well, most important data are saved up

[unkempt lake]

Just press delete on the parition

Then select the black drive

Click next and let windows create a parition

[lilac shoal]

Yeah I cleaned the disk and starter installing on it

[unkempt lake]

Ok

[lilac shoal]

Sorry that I have so many questions

[balmy vector]

Better to ask questions than be left with nothing

[lilac shoal]

Yeah my thought, I just don't like being a bother

[neat lion]

why am i seeing pc prroblems right when im about to order mine#

im scared now

[lilac shoal]

Ok now that's bad, it deleted the drive that had the backup on, and all of my work files

[reef patrol]

Did you write TO that drive during install?

If not, you can possibly still save most/all files. Unplug it physically asap

[marsh pewter]

is the drive completely empty or is it missing from explorer?

[lilac shoal]

I tried a recovery software, nothing was found

It is completely empty except from a tracking log of system

[reef patrol]

Did you try GOOD recovery software? 😄

[lilac shoal]

Uuuuuh

Idk, took the first one I had

EaseUS

It was done from the format button of windows install

[reef patrol]

A lot of the cheaper ones are quite shite. I paid 25 bucks for Acronis years ago, and it is a champ. It will lock the drive and do a deep drive, sector by sector instead of just a surface level scan.

[lilac shoal]

So I think I'm doomed

Made the mistake of plugging it

Can't believe I did such a mistake, mind was elsewhere

[reef patrol]

If it's important enough, shut the PC off right now, unplug the drive and buy something like Acronis (or get a free trial from somewhere)

The longer you wait, the less chance there is of getting something back.

[lilac shoal]

Pc has been turned off, I'll unplug it and see yeah, thanks I'll look for that

[lilac shoal]

Ok well, that's even worse
Somehow windows got installed on the wrong disk that had the backup
I tried acronis on the M2 and found nothing soo

If found things on the SSD that got windows installed though, so I'll work on this later and reinstall windows onto the m2

[unkempt lake]

You only had 1 drive in your picture earlier

Also i have a feel like... your backup wasn't really a backup

You had 2 partitions and you deleted them both and wrote over them

You ain't gonna get much back out of this

Shoulda backed things up on a completely separate drive or cloud or both

[reef patrol]

😭

[lilac shoal]

I had my 3 drives, with one of them being partitioned
M2 was drive 1, SSD was drive 2
I cleaned and formatted drive 1

[tiny tree]

why my fps are so trash? 2070super and i7 9700k

what should i do

[ashen spindle]

hmmm

let me ask my crystall ball what game it is

[tiny tree]

hmm fortnite

[ashen spindle]

lower your graphic settings

[tiny tree]

i play perfomance mode

and have low

[unkempt lake]

Idk but there's nothing wrong with that config

My husband uses a 9700k and a 2080, runs every damn game out there fine

Lower a few settings if need be

[ashen spindle]

well we dont know what fps hes getting

trash isnt quite well defined

[unkempt lake]

Trash would be under 60 no?

[ashen spindle]

why are you asking me

[tiny tree]

i have like 200fps but it crashed every 3seconds on like 70

[unkempt lake]

Check cpu/ram/gpu usage
Check temps/throttling
make sure your shit is up to date
Make sure you're not running the game on a ssd that's filled to the brim or an hdd
Test other games run some benchmarks if it's just this game then verify files/reinstall the game

troubleshooting basics

[inner zinc]

Any idea when the finalmouse UltralightX will restock

[unkempt lake]

Ask finalmouse

[tiny tree]

okey thankss

[pale sigil]

That's kinda nuts, I didn't realize Samsung still used MicroUSB till 2019

Nope, the Samsung A10 had micro USB!

[final flame]

damn

I mean, still not as bad as apple. But damn

[pale sigil]

microUSB 2.0, OTG

[final flame]

I mean, the likelyhood someone will buy a outdated a series phone is not very high so it's not like it matters

the newer ultra budget a series phones all use type C

not necessarily

type C is convenient to have

[gloomy linden]

C is still nice even if it doesn use the full capabilities

[rocky tulip]

My 3070 Dual has started to have a lot of fan rattle that gets louder as the fans ramp up, so I'm looking at upgrading to a 4070 Super. Would you say it's worth it at this point, or try to wait out for the 5070? From what I've seen, the 5070 is estimated to be about the same price as a 4070 Super.

[final flame]

I own a a14 and that phone is great and really all I need
I doubt there's really a cost advantage for them using micro b over type C anyways

[ashen spindle]

we dont know price or performance of next gen just that its likely getting shown in january, but most likely just the 5090 and 5070 class would be some months/weeks later

so comes down to you if you want to upgrade now/if your card holds up

[pale sigil]

I was just looking out of curiosity

I was quite surprised!

[rocky tulip]

Right. The rattle was usually only at 60-70%, but now it's a low constant rattle. Probably just better off selling it for $200 and let someone else change the fans since I don't feel like messing with it and buy a 4070 Super

[pale sigil]

My cheap xiaomi phone form 2019 had USB C

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-good-news-everyone-professor-farnsworth-great-news-gif-17213270

Because Im spontaneous

And loud

[final flame]

I want you to take a look at the specs on the a14/a15
They're very competent phones even for their price, not the fastest processor, but it can play basic games and do basic tasks like youtube videos and social media as long as you don't expect too much from it
decent display + flagship battery capacity + microsd slot
make it ideal for me

[pale sigil]

OK

It's more

Because I played on battle net too

Why not?

I can make it worse, my longest streak of playing daily was 54 days.

[empty wren]

@iron wave any suggestions on what else could be useful? Saw two repositories filled to the brim with modules I never heard of.

[iron wave]

On that list I only used PIF.

[empty wren]

Oh

[magic minnow]

D2 was really fun

I think I have around 4K between Steam and BattleNet

Yeah to me it fell off before the last expansion dropped

Something about them announcing Marathon killed it for me

[balmy vector]

id only hop back to do some raids personally

[magic minnow]

without me

[pale sigil]

Witch Queen seasons were definitely where it was showing its weakness.

Final Shape just killed all hope for me, didn't like it at all and I very much dislike acts.

Although I do like the new dungeon a lot.

Soooo still?

Because technically any popular dance is a fortnite emote.

Fortnite sucks dances up

quick question does anyone know if razer synapse inteferes with wootility

[ashen spindle]

iirc sometimes it causes issues with the rgb sync or similar yea

[broken moat]

oh okay because I hane synapse 4 but I don't have razer chroma (the rgb app) so hopefull it doesn't mess with it

[hasty thunder]

Did Discord just make their mobile client intentionally worse?

i can't check anymore what servers someone has in common in case i get a friend request

[magic minnow]

D1 had the big band emote too though

[balmy vector]

Been having issues with my cursor moving to my second monitor in games, think ive narrowed it down to game bar

[balmy vector]

To preface, it would move to the second screen regardless if in borderless, or in fullscreen

[deft raptor]

Uploaded video on discord are not playing on my pc for some reason.

[iron wave]

👀

A CM5 with 2GB of memory and 16GB of storage with options did 1G, 2G, 4G or 8G of memory and 8G, 16G, 32G, 64G or 128G of storage according to that picture.

[deft raptor]

I have been noticing that heatsinks might be required if the m.2 ssd controller can get very hot like around 70-90C

Aye, I don't think I can see so many gb of updates. Anyway, the new ssd I bought will have fresh Arch Linux or those variants installed onto it and I will be moving my data from old ssd onto it

Plus, the slot I will be using is pci 3.0 where the sn770 can go up to pcie 4.0

[cosmic thunder]

nice

i have x870e mpg carbon and it's already great

[mild dome]

What do these premium motherboards get you over the more regular ones?

[cosmic thunder]

wifi 7 with up to 10gbit lan support, screwless m.2 slot & cooling pad, and sometimes more stability for overclocking

[analog sinew]

the 8 segment scam is real

but i dont wanna pay 400 for a dumb mobo :/

Man what a slow news cycle

That’s all the same as speculations where a year ago already lmao

[umbral heron]

But we got a new name

[ashen spindle]

But that’s also been months old officially even lol

[rough osprey]

rtx 5000 rumored to be announced at CES 🗣️

new news

[analog sinew]

lets hope so

[magic minnow]

I can’t wait for MSI to announce their X870i

[umbral heron]

Yeah, more overpriced motherboards

[magic minnow]

Their Z890i can hold up to 4 nvme

M.2

[umbral heron]

So can PCIe card

[magic minnow]

but they’ll block the airflow of my card in a smol setup

[steady sail]

Water block

[ashen spindle]

Get a riser cable for the pcie card then, much cheaper still lel

[deft raptor]

pcie card with 4 m.2 slots also works, pcie lanes are lanes

[ashen spindle]

Yes but he just said why that doesn’t work for the setup

[magic minnow]

[rough osprey]

smol setup but you got second pcie slot?

[magic minnow]

This is the one I got it’s a mATX

[rough osprey]

Wad da fok

[rough osprey]

mAtx

[magic minnow]

Real gamer mobo

[rough osprey]

so mid size

[magic minnow]

yeh micro for smaller case

[rough osprey]

[steady sail]

Just get an E-ATX board

[deft raptor]

There's one size bigger than e-atx

[analog sinew]

eee

[deft raptor]

SSI MEB

[magic minnow]

too big

[steady sail]

Hptx is even bigger

[deft raptor]

SWTX is bigger and I own that board

[deft raptor]

Lmao, that gaming branding on the HPTX

[misty matrix]

it was a gaming board lol

[deft raptor]

It must be from SLI era ?

[old marlin]

all of those are lol

[leaden kiln]

new mouse to match the miku pad

[latent mural]

finalmouse?

[leaden kiln]

yeah

[latent mural]

is it even worth the pricetag

its js a more expensive beast x right?

[steady sail]

[deft raptor]

[leaden kiln]

mine was cheaper than a beast x but there are also differences

Mostly got it for the color

[latent mural]

i mean thats a plus

but i did get the beast x mini in custom colour

[rough osprey]

fire

[deft raptor]

I mean, I have seen some ppl online who own more than one gaming mouse that's not logitech or razer

[steady sail]

Im more than happy with my Pulsar mice :3

[latent mural]

razer and logitech arent allat imo the razer v3 is big for my hands

[old marlin]

mini version should release at some point

[latent mural]

beast x mini beat them too it so i got that

fits my hand perfectly

[leaden kiln]

🤝

[deft raptor]

I am hoping the Op1 will fit on my hand

[latent mural]

endgame mentioned

[leaden kiln]

I 3d printed this shape to try it first

[rough osprey]

i would put it under your hand

better for aiming

[latent mural]

i have tiny hands so i took the risk with the mini

it was probably my best bet

3d printing stuff sounds cool tho

[steady sail]

Me who went with the pulsar x2h mini and its small but comfy

[latent mural]

looks like u have small hands too

[deft raptor]

Oh my bad, gotta put op1 under my hand. 😂

[steady sail]

Not really lol

[latent mural]

oh

too be fair being 5'1 might be the issue with my hands

what would the new owner do in terms of harm? sell user data to google ads?

bring manifest v2 back?

[marsh glade]

Back to #🐸│memes with you

[north tide]

CES is gonna be fire

2ccd+iod zen5 parts for laptop incl vcache i think

2ccd vcache zen5 parts

both of the above may have new interconnect

strix halo which is supposed to have new interconnect and giga APU IOD + 2ccd with quad channel DDR5X

nvidia 5000

and there is always somebody to pull out a 1000hz DP2.1 monitor or w/e 😄

i'm personally leaning towards dlss4 with async reprojection as well, that tech is insane for improving smoothness and reducing latency

excitement guaranteed even if the bare minimum happens

[ashen spindle]

Yeah I expect some high refresh rate oled screens and nvidia demos for it

How well that works in practice is another thing

[umbral heron]

9950X3D already confirmed to have 2 v-cache CCDs?

[north tide]

Nvidia is finally going for DP2

[ashen spindle]

Nope unknown

[north tide]

no, but there are some very interesting things pointing to changes on it

and zen5, unlike zen4, makes vcache ccd's superior even for productivity.

[umbral heron]

If it doesn't then I don't want it

[ashen spindle]

Welll, it’s more like the IOD bottleneck is now so big it helps even in production to be accurate xD

[north tide]

zen5v gained clocks while zen5 lost them

so it's relatively like 300mhz up, and L3 latency came down, both big.

lots of these

[ashen spindle]

No it still loses clocks vs stock

[north tide]

Vs standard CCD's yes

on zen4 it was around 5.7ghz standard, 5.2ghz vcache

now on zen5 it's like 5.65ghz standard, 5.55 vcache

standard went down, vcache went up

[ashen spindle]

Better iod would have done more, which make me excited for stxh

[north tide]

ye but there is a heavily rumored new IOD for zen5 midgen and zen6

[ashen spindle]

N4 ccd while the iod is on N3 will be funny

[north tide]

with InFO interconnect and maybe merged L3 caches / virtual L4 between ccd's

[ashen spindle]

I don’t buy that we get a midgen for zen5

[north tide]

i think we will because the CCD is designed to work with either IFOP or InFO, and they are doing InFO on strix halo. And they need the IOD for zen6 anyway on the socket so why just send it a little earlier for gaming halos and laptop power efficiency

[balmy vector]

Im just excited to see those monitors mainly

I want to drown my eyes in beautiful displays

[ashen spindle]

The ccds would work but they don’t have the time or people to put on validating a new io die for a half gen

And laptop will be monolithic anyway

[north tide]

fire range and strix halo are both IOD + 2x CCD

they would benefit massively from interconnect which lowers latency and has 1/9'th of the power cost per bit

[ashen spindle]

That is such a tiny market, I just can’t see amd spending resources for that when they are so insanely stingy

Idk if there were more than the msi and Alienware options for dragon range even

[north tide]

Intel says same thing about gaming / cfd etc workloads. But vcache exists

[north tide]

dp1 does i think 1440p 240 10bit.. or maybe even 8 bit. It's so far behind the panels now lol

Even dp2 is a bit behind but it's way better

[ashen spindle]

Vcache is a lucky repurposed server part and laptop for amd is much much smaller

Intel is saying that but we know that’s just marketing bs

ADM cache was planned for both BMG and ARl

[north tide]

planned then cancelled because too small market

royal core was also planned and then cancelled because too small market on client for 1T and cache perf

[ashen spindle]

No adm got the axe just like 8+32 because time to market was already fucked

ARL is like a year after supposed release

[bright briar]

praying for a x870 mobo to go on sell so i can justify spending 1k on a 9800x3d,new ram as well🤞 even if its $10 off GIVE ME SOMETHING

if only it was

i have maple syrup money

689.99 before tax just for the 9800x3d

[scenic thunder]

Loonies doin baaaad right now lol

[ashen spindle]

Ahh yeah didn’t assume it was CAD

[frozen ingot]

got the kingston furys ddr5 6000, no christmas lighting tho

[bright briar]

all good

thats why i was gonna get the 7800x3d if the price dropped but theyre not making that cpu anymore so GG. Just going to get 9800x3d

[bright briar]

canada been doing bad ever since that idiot got into office

a decade of pain

[gloomy linden]

I wonder if they will get up to intel numbers or just redo their naming

[umbral heron]

Why all bundles are with x870

[bright briar]

theres a saying over here

"canadians get f*cked with no lube"

because all these places just try to rip you off

overpriced because of greedy retail prices and etc

[umbral heron]

You haven't been to Poland mate
Not only +23% VAT, all retailers also shaft you over new tech

[bright briar]

yeah i hear the horrors about that

😭

[gloomy linden]

25% vat and less competition

[frozen ingot]

screams in nordics

[bright briar]

a lot of the food here doesnt even taste good anymore

it depends where you go nowadays

[gloomy linden]

Nordics get paid better than poles last I checked

[frozen ingot]

things are also significantly more expensive

[gloomy linden]

True, offseason leek is crazy, leek in genereal too

[bright briar]

its because the terminids have taken over

[gloomy linden]

Was a bit surprised

[frozen ingot]

just being part of the mainland europe is a big benefit for a lot of grocery prices and availability

[umbral heron]

Essential stuff, sure
For electronics and such we pay more than Germany

[rough osprey]

hehe noobs

[frozen ingot]

yeah I don't get peoples fondness over those damn bugs, the toasters are much more managable

[umbral heron]

But having bread for 0.5€ or 200g stick of butter for 0.8€ is nice

[gloomy linden]

So thats why people hate danes, continental nordics

[frozen ingot]

us too

electronics are silly money

[gloomy linden]

It was a bit fun when I wanted to get a xbox elite controller, the core(base) version here was more expensive than the version with all the addons in germany

Luckily I knew someone from germany that went on a vacation nearby

[bright briar]

i mean if i lived in Europe i wouldnt be on my pc as much

[umbral heron]

Why?

[bright briar]

it calls to me but fuck that price

[bright briar]

depending where i live. For example like spain or portugal. I would be at the beaches or going to football matches or be at the cafe

[old marlin]

you don't want a white steam deck

[gloomy linden]

Could be one of those people living in suburb hell

[old marlin]

it will just stain a ton

[bright briar]

oh

naw i keep my stuff clean

but i see what youre saying

[umbral heron]

Just get a white shell and replace it

[bright briar]

is it true europe doesnt have ice coffee?

[frozen ingot]

valve trying to pull a sony on us, the audacity

[umbral heron]

It's quite poplar in summer, why?

[frozen ingot]

you can have that and various other coffee drinks from most coffee chains

[bright briar]

some mofo lied and said it was hard to fine ice coffee in europe

im tired of these liars lmfao

[umbral heron]

You'd have a hard time to find restaurant with good poutine, sure
But iced coffee?

[bright briar]

poutine only good in Quebec

everywhere else its meh

[frozen ingot]

poutine doesn't win me over on paper

[bright briar]

i tried explaining poutine to an american once and he said "oh its like cheesy fries"

[frozen ingot]

fries drowned in gravy idk

I prefer my fries crisp

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/stare-blank-gif-8379844

[umbral heron]

Fries with cheese and gravy separately

[frozen ingot]

yeah having the gravy on the side sounds better

ngl tho poutine looks like a dish invented by accident by someone drunk as shit 3 in the morning by throwing some fries and leftovers together on a plate

[near hull]

its so good

[bright briar]

the warm gravy is better on top because it melts the cheese custards

[balmy vector]

this is the way

[gloomy linden]

Wel the chamnel is called tech not technology
So we are discussing poutine tech-niques

[frozen ingot]

I mean you literally go through all that effort of making fries for the sole purpose of getting that texture

only to undo it all with soaking them in liquid

[gloomy linden]

The japanese also do similar crimes where they put fried panko coated meats in gravy

[frozen ingot]

yeah japan has a few of those dishes where you're just loss for words why it exists

or how it came into existence

[umbral heron]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torisashi

[gloomy linden]

Tbf they have A LOT better standards for chicken meat

[frozen ingot]

eating raw meats I can sorta get behind but the feel and texture of raw chicken leaves a lot to be desired imo

[gloomy linden]

Depending on how fresh it is and how it was raised it can actually vary a lot, that is just from handling raw chicken meat though, not eating it

Not as extreme as comparing duck breast to chicken breast but there is enough of a diference

[frozen ingot]

also chicken barely has flavor even if you've managed to brown it, so eating it raw is solely for its texture/mouthfeel properties

[gloomy linden]

Which part? but yep it is one of the milder meats

[frozen ingot]

idk man think I'll stick to the sashimi

[gloomy linden]

Too many people just go for the boring white meat

[umbral heron]

I prefer thighs

[frozen ingot]

true wings and legs will have a bit more flavor to it than breast, but its still one of those meats you bombard with seasoning

[umbral heron]

At least they don't have texture of a chalk once you overcook them a tiny bit

[gloomy linden]

Depends on what I make it with, I bombard a lot of stuff with seasoning, but do cook with milder flavours from time to time

The local spice store learned to not second guess my purchases, and warn me of spicy or expensive

Still a lot cheaper on average than buying bland supermarket mixes in tiny containers

[frozen ingot]

I try to buy as many whole spices as possible, and yeah extremely rarely do I buy any premixed stuff

or preground

got a lot of grinders and refillable containers

[gloomy linden]

I do have a lot of premixed stuff but it is well stored and most mixes are simple so I can add individual spices on top

The most underrated thing is a peper mill though

Peper is so bad preground

[frozen ingot]

its mostly the case with dry spices for me, I'll buy things like curry/chili paste, sambal, gochujang etc

technically premixed stuff but usually wet/oily so flavor compounds can't escape from it like dried ones do over time

[frozen ingot]

yeah horrible

[analog sinew]

i want to buy long pepper some time

[frozen ingot]

think I got 5 or 6 mills/grinders for stuff I use often enough for it to have its own grinder

[gloomy linden]

I have a ceramic mortar and pestle that is kinda bad but pretty and relaxing to use

[analog sinew]

i want an achate one

but they are expensive

[analog sinew]

this is one in our lab

[gloomy linden]

Ooh shiny

But probably not as good for kitchen use?

Too smooth

[analog sinew]

no it should be ok to use i think

[frozen ingot]

ikea had these pepper mills for like €3-4 and they were fuckin ace, enough coarse/fine adjustment to fit most commonly used spices, compact enough to fit a bunch in a spice drawer or cupboard and they last for years and years

[analog sinew]

but this one was used to grind chemicals ^^

so i'd rather not

[frozen ingot]

then they discontinued it the heckin morons

[gloomy linden]

Oh well I only have mills for peper and salt but do use the thing from the picture and a smaller version of it for everything else

[frozen ingot]

there's so many pepper grinders sold where the mill itself is dogshit, like you barely get anything for each twist

[fair gull]

just get metal pipes. one small enough to fit in the other with a metal end cap. put stuff in the bigger one (also with an end cap) put smaller pipe with endcap in bigger pipe. go ham

you have successfully crushed things

[frozen ingot]

yeah I use a pestle and mortar for less used spices too, its kinda messy to use and takes time to get things nice and evenly smashed

[gloomy linden]

I do like putting in some salt or suggar with whatever I grind of the recepie also demands that

Helps grind it down

[frozen ingot]

I kinda prefer just using one of those electric blade coffee grinders a lot of the time

[fair gull]

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx86yR5gP_d1Les2jcklAwf02gx_tl7sbt?si=FbzI1-fT23Y19Uc3

[frozen ingot]

they suck at grinding coffee but great for lots of spices

[gloomy linden]

Nooppe no huge pipes kthanks

[fair gull]

how could you not

who doesnt want to look like a caveman

[gloomy linden]

Uneven results and more waste

Also most of my cooking is not the most elegant anyways

[frozen ingot]

there's enough ied bombings being conducted by the gangsters here I'd probably be put on a watchlist buying assorted pipes

[gloomy linden]

Also if you want to look like a caveman with a sling take a mesh bag or kitchen cloth and swing your freshly washed salad around for better results

[frozen ingot]

am not great on presentation or slicing things nice and tidy but I'll get the seasoning and cooking method done properly for most part

[gloomy linden]

Plating doesnt matter if hungry

[frozen ingot]

life too short for eating bland food

at least on the regular

[gloomy linden]

Also helps to go to a fancy restaurant from time to time for some new combos, last time the cook somehow combined rosemary and blaukraut and it was good, never would have mixed those

[frozen ingot]

yeah I try to prioritize going to places with cuisines I suck at making myself

[analog sinew]

i might try that

sounds good

[gloomy linden]

It was in a very thin roll and not too sweet, as in the role itself was not thin but the baked dough that was used for making the roll was thin

[balmy vector]

would probably look even better together with the white steam deck edition https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/4472731215261073464

[marsh pewter]

not exactly the same color https://extremerate.com/products/extremerate-replacement-full-set-shell-with-buttons-for-steam-deck-oled-pale-red

[wheat plume]

buttons too, I would skip out on that xd

[marsh glade]

Better to ask forgiveness than permission 😛

[wheat plume]

i found the video LOL
https://youtu.be/TP2MOhLSE5U

[minor citrus]

if you can afford the potential fines like Linus, sure... 😄

[reef patrol]

They even changed the video title...

[minor citrus]

was probably too edgy to keep it for longer

[wheat plume]

what was it before??

[distant tapir]

Maybe CIA something.

[wheat plume]

Glow in the dark cia?

RIP Terry.....

[unkempt lake]

Dont you dare complete that sentence

[wheat plume]

(thats why I didnt)

[unkempt lake]

Xd

I haven't seen a ring glow like that since the last time I had a vindaloo!
TechSpurt

I hate that the battery is always exposed on the back

[old marlin]

that seems straight up dangerous

just requires you to put it in your pocket with your keys to puncture it

[wheat plume]

They ship it by default with the case already on it

and advise to not take the case off unless you are using an "outfit" which is what they callthe modular parts

[old marlin]

why is the battery not easily removable if it is already exposed smh

[wheat plume]

apparently it is?

iFixIt sells batteries for it

[old marlin]

you still need to remove a gorillion screws

[wheat plume]

yeah.... :/

[old marlin]

step 1

don't drop your phone

also that has nothing to do with android

[rough osprey]

thats was cool tho

[old marlin]

just with easily replaceable batteries

[frozen ingot]

doubt some keys rubbing up against the battery would be enough to puncture

yeah was about to say who would have their phone and keys share pocket for starters

[old marlin]

I mean I would not recommend that but I also would not want my battery to get scratched when that does happen

[frozen ingot]

assuming its lowkey designed with the expectation of using a back cover

heck that seems to be the case with the vast majority of phones available these days using glass backs and easily scratched metal frames

[wheat plume]

the car mount I got for my phone has scratched up the back of my phone...and the back of that phone is plastic

[halcyon moss]

so? its the back.

[wheat plume]

and you can barely see it cause its white xd

but I can feel it...

[halcyon moss]

extra grip

[marsh glade]

Ribbed for... no I'll stop

[rough osprey]

lets have full tungsten phones with sapphire screens

[wheat plume]

and spend like 300 extra for those materials?

[empty wren]

Pass

[rough osprey]

but it will never scratch

[empty wren]

More pants will fall down

[analog sinew]

A phone contains maybe 10g of tungsten at most

[empty wren]

For?

[unkempt lake]

Use a case

[rough osprey]

sapphire screens would be cool tho

[empty wren]

Ask HTC

[rough osprey]

ye

[empty wren]

Or go get a sapphire screen cover

[rough osprey]

no ty

they all wanna sell screen replacements ig

[empty wren]

Not a replacement

[rough osprey]

whats is corning even doing

[empty wren]

Sapphire on top of the display

[rough osprey]

same product every year

[rough osprey]

i want spaghetti

[empty wren]

Well they either make it but more scratch resistant or drop resistant

However 6 mohs hardness is between sapphire and plastic

With sapphire, remember it is more brittle, got sapphire on my watch and I wear the screen inside often.

[deft raptor]

Funny, I have my watch Casio with thick sapphire panel, it never got scratched or broken.

[rough osprey]

only noobs drop their phone

scratches are kinda unavoidable

[empty wren]

It can still happen

[analog sinew]

yeah then u become noob

[lyric hatch]

True, no case life

[rough osprey]

same

[empty wren]

That depends how you treat your device.

[lyric hatch]

Why ruin the ergonomics of your phone when you can just not drop it

[analog sinew]

i have never held a phone without case for more than an hour tho lol

[rough osprey]

u will still have super small stones and all everywhere

[empty wren]

I run my new one naked

[lyric hatch]

I run a screen protector that i swap out every once in a while but that's it

[frozen ingot]

didn't use a case for many years but using one now mainly because it has foldable stand on the back

[empty wren]

My phone fell down on the stairs and the screen cracked even though I had a case and screen cover

Protruding edges on case at least on each radius are a must

[lyric hatch]

I had a perfect record until my last phone where I cracked the screen

[marsh pewter]

you monster

[lyric hatch]

It was 4 years old though

[empty wren]

The kevlar and flat frame makes it feel safe

[marsh pewter]

I bought my phone used so there’s a small crack in the middle of the screen

it’s barely noticeable tho

[empty wren]

Totally fine, I do so too years ago

[marsh pewter]

I don’t think I have ever cracked the screen on any device ever

I’ve cracked screen protectors but that’s about it

[empty wren]

If you got a decent case it should be fine

[gloomy linden]

never ever cracked a screen but I drop my phones a few times a month

[empty wren]

I honestly wish more phones used composite materials, pass on the stainless steel rails though(adds quite some weight) or titanium(it will chip over time due to wear).

[gloomy linden]

also no case

[empty wren]

You got lucky I guess

[gloomy linden]

quite lucky and I am more careful outside

[empty wren]

Mine fell out of pocket and that was the end of the glass outside

[empty wren]

Some do use OtterBox cases but those are quite bulky

[analog sinew]

i dropped my old phone on concrete twice but it was fine save for sratches on the top

[empty wren]

Lucky

[marsh pewter]

otterbox is so goofy

[analog sinew]

yo since this is the tech channel

does anyone have a fractal north

[rough osprey]

no

[analog sinew]

noctua fans fit just baarely i'm wondering if the flat silicone mounts fit in there too

[marsh pewter]

do not the intel processor

[analog sinew]

these

[analog sinew]

but its hot

[marsh pewter]

temperature wise

[analog sinew]

yeah

[rough osprey]

just try

[analog sinew]

i will but I have to overthink

[rough osprey]

is that your taktic

[analog sinew]

yeah

I can't just do things like this

[rough osprey]

nice

https://tenor.com/view/just-do-it-shia-la-beouf-do-it-gif-4531935

[analog sinew]

yeah once my bank cooperates I will at least buy all the nonimportant stuff

I can't decide if I yolobuy a PSU either

probably not I can still use the old pc

[empty wren]

Shave the fan down a bit

[analog sinew]

uuh

no?

[empty wren]

Shave the case down?

[analog sinew]

uuh no

[empty wren]

Okay

[analog sinew]

i will just try to suqeeze the silicone in

[empty wren]

That is possible

[analog sinew]

i mean if there were screws in from the front it would work

i could also remove the outer silicone pads maybe that buys a milimeter

hmm

these lil tabs protrude slightly

it could work

[empty wren]

Is there more room on the side past the frame sheet metal?

Or are the fans supposed to be set there?

[unkempt lake]

Never used those

I just used the corner pieces

On my noctuas

[rough osprey]

i dont use front fans

[analog sinew]

the corner pieces?

[unkempt lake]

You already have them on @analog sinew

[analog sinew]

thats not my build

but the corner pieces have no mounting

theyre just damping? I dont get it

[unkempt lake]

Yep

They dampen vibrations

[analog sinew]

so you just press the fan in?

[unkempt lake]

Then screw it in yeah

Basic screw

[analog sinew]

well yeah screws

i wanna use those dangly mounting thingies

I'm just worried the head protrudes too far

[unkempt lake]

Never used them seems useless

[rough osprey]

can help with vibration

[analog sinew]

the question is how far it sticks out

[unkempt lake]

I have 3x front fans and they're just mounter normally

[analog sinew]

well I will just try

[rough osprey]

but i mean no other fan company seems to use them

so cant be that important

[analog sinew]

its certainly nbd if i cant use them

[rough osprey]

do u own a hydraulic press by chance

[analog sinew]

i could also try to use regular ones and clip them

[analog sinew]

sadly not
