[hoary jackal]

I need to eat this

[cursive summit]

Displays are prolly the only normal market where the best stuff is priced consistently at a specific price, and then gets 50% cheaper over next 2 years

Unlike.. GPUs

[steady sail]

i would just get an IPS panel instead LOL

[cursive summit]

First OLEDs were like a grand, now you can have them for like 500$

[hoary jackal]

😡😡😡😡😡

R u mentally ok

[unkempt lake]

Everyone should get a 32:9 super ultrawide

[cursive summit]

Hell some peep shared QD-OLED for 500 which is kinda nuts

[steady sail]

yes

[deft raptor]

Oh yeah, I got mine for 640 usd

[hoary jackal]

Once u go OLED u can never go back

[tight dragon]

Let's say I wanted to do streaming, I could ofc use a separate laptop or something, but what do you think would be the best choice for that?

[deft raptor]

I did start with OLED steam deck

[unkempt lake]

I already converted 1 person to super uw i need to convert more people

[charred nexus]

Wait for the main course, LP 4060

[hoary jackal]

Shhhhhh low quality eye user

[steady sail]

yeah im not paying 900$ for a monitor

[cursive summit]

I mean, your display doesn't really impact your streaming experience, only your own

[hoary jackal]

Sell ur kidney

U have two

[charred nexus]

I need to save this as an insult when my teammate can’t see the opponent

[steady sail]

im gonna sell u instead

[tight dragon]

I mean, I would need a resolution of 1080p right?

[compact relic]

It was me and i ordered it, getting it tomorrow

[hoary jackal]

Guys I need help

[compact relic]

AOC AG276QZD2

[cursive summit]

@tight dragonI'll take a look on amazon what black friday prices are good rn

[cursive summit]

I would not go below QHD

[hoary jackal]

Trueeee

U know what ima save it too

[tight dragon]

Alright.

[charred nexus]

Do I get a 7900XTX if I save you, if no I’m letting him to sell you. You know what, get me one OLED monitor too

[hoary jackal]

@steady sail

[charred nexus]

Sus file

[steady sail]

?

[hoary jackal]

Gif didn’t load kill me now

[hoary jackal]

No

I don’t wanna be saved

[cursive summit]

Man I fuckin love when KTC and Koorui just do not mention what panel type are their monitors

They sell by far the cheapest ones, yet their marketing is god tier trash

[charred nexus]

Don’t, selling you. Can’t be sold if you die

[hoary jackal]

💀

[hoary jackal]

Ohhhh right true

[cursive summit]

I've not heard of HVA panels, that's some new stuff? https://www.amazon.com/KTC-Gaming-Monitor-DisplayPort-AdaptiveSync/dp/B0DF285RDG

[charred nexus]

Don’t KTC mention their panel type? Iirc I ask them once and they tell me the exact panel in their monitor

[cursive summit]

Tbf they do, I just saw HVA and ignored it

Cause I've never heard of it

I'm guessing some newer type of VA that's like.. better maybe?

.. wat

Why's there a QD-OLED for 400$

Did display prices just nosedive or some shit

[deft raptor]

Not really

I am checking rtings right now

[cursive summit]

I'm guessing it has bleeding issues lol

Flicker and shit

[hoary jackal]

Anime Garl yayyyy I buy now

[steady sail]

this is the cheapest OLED monitor in Hungary at 450$

[cursive summit]

I have an AOC panel, it's really good

Maybe it's not a scam lol

[deft raptor]

Oh yeah, I managed to solve my flickering issues

[charred nexus]

Idk I think it’s tcl’s tech or whatever

[deft raptor]

Turns out there's several bugs with my linux kernel where my gpu cannot go full speed after waking up from suspend

[tight dragon]

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-CQ27G3Z-2560x1440-Adjustable-Zero-Bright-dot/dp/B0BXC41BTD/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1 This was my first option but idk

[hoary jackal]

Those who know 💀💀

[charred nexus]

KTC have one selling at the same price
I though of buying one ngl

[cursive summit]

I want to love KTC but boy do their specs sheets suck

[deft raptor]

Eh, I don't know what to do if I have 2 OLED displays

[charred nexus]

Iirc they have the same panel

[charred nexus]

If i run OLED I ain’t running two, one IPS one OLED always

[compact relic]

That's the same one i linked for 500€, Finland's taxation is just aids

[hoary jackal]

I’ll eat ur shipment

🥭🥭🥭🥭💀💀💀😎😎😎😎🥶🥶🥶

[cursive summit]

Can you stop with this cringe

[hoary jackal]

No

[cursive summit]

Anyways @tight dragon, this is perfectly affordable I think https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG276QZD2-Tournament-2560x1440-Compatible/dp/B0D682HF6R

Since you are spending less on a GPU

[charred nexus]

Brave for you to assume I even have a shipment

[cursive summit]

It seems to be a gen 3 qd-oled which is pretty good

[tight dragon]

Thank you

I actually saw this earlier on amazon but passed it by mistake

[hoary jackal]

Ohh no I believe u built like dat

[cursive summit]

Yeah for that price even I might buy an OLED lol

Look up QD-OLED prices, they are really expensive for a reason

[charred nexus]

Go

[cursive summit]

The fact this one is this cheap, is kinda a miracle

[charred nexus]

Go ahead

[cursive summit]

I literally won't cause I swore allegiance with the MiniLED gang

[compact relic]

It's hdr400 but idk does it matter that much on oled

[charred nexus]

it’s getting cheaper cuz so many of em is making a panel

[cursive summit]

Doesn't really

Just don't turn on HDR lol

I never liked HDR either, OLEDs have already perfect colours

[deft raptor]

Yeah, been thinking about it. I also have IPS but it is in another location atm.

[tight dragon]

Trump's tariffs are coming?

[cedar fog]

True it's like every brand now

[hoary jackal]

Hdr sucks

[charred nexus]

Ain’t it HDR True Black 400?

[cursive summit]

Wtf do Trump tariffs have to do with anything lol

[tight dragon]

The rumbling

Nvm

[cursive summit]

Seems to be just HDR10

[charred nexus]

It have 1000 peak but in a small % window cuz OLED

[deft raptor]

Retailers can raise these prices whatever if tariffs did happen or not

[charred nexus]

Wait fr?

[cursive summit]

HDR TrueBlack HDR400

Oh yeah it's the actual HDR

Their website has far more info, amazon page just said HDR10

[deft raptor]

Oh, my monitor has been set to DisplayHDR True Black

[tight dragon]

Shipping will be more expensive

Tax

[cursive summit]

My brother or sister, Trump is not in office ffs

[tight dragon]

He is gonna be president tho

[cursive summit]

And whatever that fuck says is likely not even going to pass

[hoary jackal]

Egotist

Evorist

[cursive summit]

No need for that?

[tight dragon]

I'm not even voting for the man

We just gotta accept it

[hoary jackal]

Why

What did trump do

[cursive summit]

I just remember Trump's first term and I realized he did jack shit for 4 years lol

[tight dragon]

I'd rather not explain it in a Tech channel

[cursive summit]

I am hoping that U.S will have another 4 years of jack shit

Instead of some dumbassery

[compact relic]

Nothing ever happens

[charred nexus]

Yeah I think basically every OLED get True Black 400 aka 400 on 10% window HDR1000 or whatever means how bright it can get, no matter the size iirc

[hoary jackal]

Dm me

[tight dragon]

Ok.

[compact relic]

Can someone recommend cheap 4:3 monitors to be used as 2nd and 3rd monitors?

[cursive summit]

I am noticing that people are comparing HDR1000 to TrueBlack HDR400, is the true black stuff really that good?

https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/1g8mc1y/hdr1000_vs_hdr_true_blackhdr400_in_a_nut_shell/#

Peeps seem in support for True Black 400 over HDR1000 lol, that's rare

[hoary jackal]

Ultra instinct vs true mastered ultra instinct

[cursive summit]

Something something better standard

[charred nexus]

TrueBlack means how bright it can get over a 10% of the screen HDRXXXX means how bright it can get

It doesn’t mean jack shit on a oled

[cursive summit]

Huh, isn't HDR[number] the amount of dimming zones?

[charred nexus]

Cuz a small dot on the screen can get to 1000 nits doesn’t mean shit

[cursive summit]

I am perfectly aware that OLED has basically an unlimited number of dimming zones lol, each pixel is either on or off

Thought for OLED you want the HDR10+ standard cause that's what actually matters on an OLED

[charred nexus]

No, it means how bright it can get, let’s say a monitor can reach 1000 nits peak, it’s HDR1000

[cursive summit]

Heh, I thought it was dimming zones

[deft raptor]

🤔

Good info to know

My monitor supports HDR1000

[cursive summit]

Mine's that fake HDR shit that everyone hates

[charred nexus]

It’s mainly for LCD monitors as how bright the backlight (dimming zone) can get is important

[cursive summit]

I mean, I am happy with a 350cd display so I imagine HDR400 TrueBlack is prolly perfect on a QD-OLED if you don't use it above 400cds?

Why tf is that display so cheap then

[charred nexus]

True black or whatever is more important on OLED cuz it means how bright it can get on 10% of the screen

[cursive summit]

Imagine if it also was HDR10+ certified

[charred nexus]

As OLED can’t have full screen 1000nits or at least not for monitor of this size afaik

[compact relic]

if you figure it out please let me know

[cursive summit]

Idk, economy

[compact relic]

Still feels too good to be true

[charred nexus]

cuz somebody order a shit ton of panel

Now it’s cheap

[compact relic]

or maybe its just the first step towards affordable oleds

[cursive summit]

Oh and that panel's sold out

So yeah that one's gone

[compact relic]

Check different shops, it's cheap in a bunch of places

[cursive summit]

I mean, that one was in America, it's cheap even here in EU

[charred nexus]

Someone saw your message and went there buy all of em

[compact relic]

Here it was 499 in like 3 different webstores and in some places it was 799

[cursive summit]

Lol minileds have fallen in price even more

Cheapest is now 300 euros flat, down from 500 last time I checked months ago

I'm good with my main display which is NanoIPS, but if I ever replace my quite aged secondary Samsung, it'll prolly be with a miniled

[gusty kiln]

miniled version of 4K240hz/1080p480hz would be end game for me

[cursive summit]

Still waiting for microled

[gusty kiln]

at least a decade for that to be cheap enough

[cursive summit]

1440p240 is all I really care about

At 27" as well

[tight dragon]

@cursive summitHey, my friend told me that x870 motherboard is better than the B series, specifically one in the price range, ASROCK makes good boards.
And with my GPU that I'm going for I should look for something more like 1000w 80+gold or higher and not worry about power draws.

[gusty kiln]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-0tbJ6BbsY

[deft raptor]

[cursive summit]

Objective

X870 is better but you don't need it

[tight dragon]

Are you sure though?

[deft raptor]

Objection!

In case you want use this word

[cursive summit]

ASRock I've had two products from, a GPU and a mobo, and they were both shit

And you don't need more than 850W on that rig, anything more is just futureproofing

[gusty kiln]

X870 is the same as B650E

don't overspend on X870

[cursive summit]

And yeah X870 is now X870E

[gusty kiln]

go for X870E if you want to drop the dough

[steady sail]

u mean 1000w right ?

[cursive summit]

X870 non-E is like a B650

[deft raptor]

Fun fact, there's a Asrock B650 where they managed to put pcie 5.0x16 instead pcie4 for one model

[cursive summit]

Wym, 850W is literally enough to run anything

[steady sail]

wait

[tight dragon]

I honestly want to focus on the longevity of the whole build and great performance for gaming and streaming.

[gusty kiln]

higher end parts usually last longer

[steady sail]

yeah i woke up at 4:50 am

[cursive summit]

A motherboard and PSU will not give you that much longevity lol

[steady sail]

im tiered

[cursive summit]

Very tiered

[gusty kiln]

I would go 1 step below the TOTL if you want a good system to last for at least a couple gens

[cursive summit]

Buying an X870 over B650 will definitely not give you more longevity, that's not likely

[analog sinew]

5080?

[sharp badger]

I'd buy X870 or X870E only for the white gigabyte one lol

[gusty kiln]

well yeah

[cursive summit]

Getting a, let's say 1000W PSU over a 850W of equivalent specifications will only come relevant in the future

[deft raptor]

1000W might make sense on a threadripper cpu

[cursive summit]

They are getting an X3D, so it doesn't make sense imo

I mean PSU is an innocuous place to upgrade I guess as long as you get the right things

[tight dragon]

I'm still thinking it over, I want to be certain

[cursive summit]

It shouldn't have below 80+ Gold, it should be at least ATX 3.0 compatible, look at reviews to see if any areas were skimped like overcurrent protection

[deft raptor]

Btw, I don't know if the 9950x3d really did best all other cpus in benchmarks of factorio

[cursive summit]

Some PSUs have insane coil whine

That 2023 Corsair is for all intents and purposes just fine for that build they're getting

[steady sail]

u dont need it

850w more then enough

[cursive summit]

1000W I imagine will only come relevant in the future when Nvidia makes a GPU that pulls 600W

Oh wait, that's literally next gen

[deft raptor]

Hah, as if, amd is focusing on making efficient cpus

[cursive summit]

On CPUs? Yes

GPUs sadly I wish they were

Nvidia has efficiency leadership and it pisses me off

[steady sail]

i mean they are greate overall xd

[deft raptor]

Yeah, I haven't claimed about gpu because I don't have an idea what they are in the future

[tight dragon]

If I get a 850W, will I have to worry about power draws?

[cursive summit]

Not really

850W will be enough even for peak spikes

[tight dragon]

Sometimes I may be on the PC for like a full day, so idk how much power that can drain

[cursive summit]

And also 850W are apparently enough to even support RTX 5090 whatever that will be

850W for nowadays is literally the perfect area

[cursive summit]

That doesn't mean anything, any PSU can handle that

[tight dragon]

Alright

[cursive summit]

Like, what exactly are you worried about, how much power in general the whole PC will sip?

Or how much total power will the rig sip so the PSU doesn't blow?

You don't need to worry about total power, 850W is perfect even for spikes

[distant tapir]

I really want a fanless PSU but my gosh they are expensive.

[tight dragon]

I simply just don't want to worry about any setbacks in the future, gotta be careful about this stuff. This has been stressing me out all week too.

[cursive summit]

https://tenor.com/view/nvidia-jensen-huang-the-more-you-buy-the-more-you-save-keynote-2018-gif-12315008507302833354

Just buy GPUs, as Jensen says

Don't worry about it

[analog sinew]

isnt that just amazon buzzword spew

[cursive summit]

Considering it was deleted I doubt it?

Also those are prolly listed by manufacturers

[steady sail]

and im just gonna wait till amd's next gen gpu's

[cursive summit]

Really interested with what those will be + Battlemage

I think we are entering the stage where low end will be Intel GPUs, mid-end a mix of AMD and Nvidia and high end just Nvidia

[steady sail]

im fine but im struggleing at 1440p

[tight dragon]

So much people been telling me to wait as well, not everyone wants to upgrade and not everyone has money to spend lol.

[analog sinew]

you can always wait in the pc space

[cursive summit]

The problem with that is obvious, Intel has like maybe 1 or 2 generations of GPUs imo before they get axed yet again

[analog sinew]

you need to know for yourself when to buy

because there is always new shiny toys on the horizon

[steady sail]

im just not gonna buy a GPU before next gen

[cursive summit]

Pat Gelsinger is already yapping how he wants to axe unimportant projects like GPUs

[smoky frigate]

eh gpus age like milk anyways

[steady sail]

i mean if battlemage gonna be somewhat great

[cursive summit]

They only managed to launch Alchemist and Battlemage ain't a thing yet and the idiot is already yapping about axing GPU division

[analog sinew]

i have more faith in intel gpus than cpus at this point

[steady sail]

atleast intel can win something

[cursive summit]

Like, why the fuck would Intel invest many tens of billions into GPUs

To then just make a major loss selling them and axe the whole thing

[analog sinew]

arrow lake was such a nothing burger for the diy space

[smoky frigate]

both are the worst in their market, can't fault them for consistency

[tight dragon]

Intel is terrible at gaming

[cursive summit]

It's an investment ffs, Intel stick to it

[tight dragon]

Expect crashes

[analog sinew]

thats every big company ever tho

[cursive summit]

Yeah but that's imbecilic behavior lol

If Intel sticks to it, they can cost optimize and actually do something

[tight dragon]

Maybe

[cursive summit]

They have a good amount of patents to actually achieve something

[smoky frigate]

well imagine a dozen people can decide on it and it's not their money they're wasting

[cursive summit]

Especially in shit like video rendering

[tight dragon]

You can't upgrade any further tho, and the current latest version sucks unless you only do stuff for productivity

[cursive summit]

Intel has like, a lot of potential for video encode and decode and leadership there

AMD is just doing raster nowadays

And Nvidia "AI" stuff

[steady sail]

did even intel released the fix for the gaming performance ?

[analog sinew]

have 3 gpus in your pc, one for raster, one for ai shit, one for decode

the trinity build

[tight dragon]

Strictly for gaming

[cursive summit]

That is.. kinda cool if you think about it

[smoky frigate]

software decoding is just TOO SLOW

[deft raptor]

Oh yeah, lack of vram where 1440p requires to have 16gb vram to be okay with new games ?

[steady sail]

its not the lack of vram tho

its lack of optimalization

[deft raptor]

Ahhhh, I see.

[cursive summit]

I think Intel can prolly do really well in some areas just cause their whole GPU design is honestly fresh and new

A lot of stuff from AMD is just old

[deft raptor]

the encode gpu, my gpu can do av1

[cursive summit]

Idk I kinda want to see Battlemage and then get Celestial at some point, instead of them just axing the whole project

[steady sail]

like i played crysis 3 remastered with RT and i had a good enough FPS

[tight dragon]

Even if AMD is old, you know they have the best performance at a low budget which is insane

[deft raptor]

both

7000 series supports hardware encoding

:)

[tight dragon]

AMD is for budget but also saves you room for upgrading, intel not so much

[deft raptor]

Btw, discord cannot play videos with av1 encoding for video stream

[distant tapir]

Does 9800X3D have a GPU?

[ashen spindle]

2CU in the iod

[cursive summit]

9800x3d still has that 2CU mini iGPU?

[ashen spindle]

so yes but not worth much, but runs secondary screens fine I guess

[deft raptor]

iGPU, maybe but that's preferable to disable in bios if there's pci gpu installed

[cursive summit]

I thought they axed it

[ashen spindle]

its the same IOD

[deft raptor]

Some drivers can select wrong gpu and give us problems

[tight dragon]

Some CPU's already have a built in AI, so I'd be surprised if it doesn't

[cursive summit]

I like that they have that little iGPU, great for troubleshooting

[gusty nexus]

Some app use the igpu

[distant tapir]

Ah okay, great. Been considering surviving on the built-in GPU for a month or so to save up a little extra for a discrete GPU.

[deft raptor]

Ah, I don't know because iGPU stuff is new to me

[cursive summit]

Pretty sure you need laptop drivers for hybrid usage

[steady sail]

why does the 4060 is the top 1 sell in hungary

[cursive summit]

Zen 5 iGPU I doubt ever gets usage unless you literally plug the HDMI into it

[deft raptor]

For linux, that's already taken care within the kernel

[cursive summit]

Sheeples

[ashen spindle]

use the igpu for secondary screens and void high idle on dGPUs or similar

[smoky frigate]

cheapest nvidia gpu in fps per doller, by far

[steady sail]

💀 4090 Rog Strix is 2900 euro

[cursive summit]

Ain't that a very Radeon issue to have

[cursive summit]

Well yes it's also fuckin overpriced

[deft raptor]

Oh yeah, for some reason asus tuf 7900 gre gets so fast

[distant tapir]

Rog Strix is quite xpensive.

[unkempt lake]

Smart access video if you have a 7000 series dgpu

[steady sail]

the TUF 4090 is 2250 euro

[distant tapir]

I like how founders edition looks and it is also the cheapest.

[cursive summit]

2124.45 € here

[distant tapir]

Can't you just overclock the FE yourself for the same performance?

[steady sail]

oh sorry i just looked at it the PNY GeForce RTX 4090 VERTO is 3380 euro

[cursive summit]

Dunno why you'd want that

Only good Smart Access is Memory

[steady sail]

this is 3380 euro

[cursive summit]

Either nobody or sheeples

Though prices are high cause stock is low, so probably somebody

[distant tapir]

I kinda want a 5090 even though I wouldn't be able to afford that on it's own with my full budget.

[unkempt lake]

I'm just saying there is a use for it lol it's basically like quicksync on intel

[gusty kiln]

ignore PNY until 5000, kingpin is working with PNY now

[cursive summit]

A new overpriced K|NGP|N would be fun

[deft raptor]

Wow, that's some silly prices

[gusty kiln]

it stands for Paris-New York

[smoky frigate]

2.687 in deutschland

[thick elk]

Thought it was one of the many chinese names that just don't work in english

[cursive summit]

Whenever I see PNY it just always sound like penis, it's a horrid name

[gusty kiln]

they are literally the only company the US government will buy GPU from for workstations

they are originally from new york

PNY made all the quadro cards before

[thick elk]

Yea read it now, just never paid much attention to them, not really a standout gpu board partner.

[analog sinew]

pny is solid middle ground right

[gusty kiln]

their only problem is mid CS

[cursive summit]

I'd rather buy PNY over ASrock lol

[thick elk]

Also only ever had one nvidia gpu

[steady sail]

ever since my 1070 im on AMD

[cursive summit]

Imo best OEMS are either Sapphire or Powercolor

None of the Nvidia ones I care about

[smoky frigate]

I'm on my.. gosh, only third now. FX 5200, GTX 680, RTX 3080. the FX 5200 was worse than child leukemia, terrible fucking gpu

[cursive summit]

Oh wait I forgot, Nvidia actually has a good one

Palit, they make some cool cards

Palit, Powercolor and Sapphire are cool imo

[steady sail]

XFX is good as well

[thick elk]

went oem HD4800 > HD5770 > HD7950 > GTX 1080 > 7900 XT

[cursive summit]

Oh that company has some shitty history lol

XFX
Pine Technology
If you know, you know

[steady sail]

https://www.xfxforce.com/shop/xfx-quicksilver-amd-radeon-rx-7800-xt-magneticair tho this card looks interesting

[thick elk]

Hey they were offering the best value at the time, so using a merc 310 one.

[smoky frigate]

I think I used to have a computer with a geforce 2 at some point, so maybe I'm on my fourth nvidia card now actually

[steady sail]

what other company doesnt have shitty history ?

[smoky frigate]

memory long eroded because who cares, gpus were shit in those days

[thick elk]

oh and before that some other oem machine weak amd gpu but I don't remember the model number, had 128mb of vram so there was that.

[cursive summit]

Mm.. many others?

XFX is the only one I'm aware that actually actively scammed people lol

Not literally scamming people lol

Well, not my Sapphire

[wheat plume]

anyone here have the Soundcore Liberty NC earbuds???
I heard the case is real bad to use, is that true?

[steady sail]

HE fans

[cursive summit]

Soundcore eh, cheap shit

[marsh pewter]

google is free btw

[cursive summit]

Reddit is also free

[wheat plume]

Seems you have to hold it in such a way that makes it easy to drop if you wanna get the case lid open

[cursive summit]

Lana how about you get something that actually works

[thick elk]

Nothing new, existed for some time easy swapability is a selling point if you get the exact same fans that is.

[smoky frigate]

finally I can have my own ionosphere in my computer

[thick elk]

but not the biggest deal.

[wheat plume]

is for friend suggestion, buget of 60 euro and the Liberty 4 NC are on discount to 55

LDAC
Fast Pair
ANC profiles

[cursive summit]

For 60 euro you buy a good IEM

Not wireless trash

[wheat plume]

They want wireless ;-;

[cursive summit]

Brainrot

[steady sail]

best board partner

[smoky frigate]

found a pair of headphones for 30 bucks that has all of these and I tested them extensively over the last week, love them. but they're over-ears

[steady sail]

yes they do

[wheat plume]

she want earbuds not headphones

[cursive summit]

Prolly just typical harvest from a prebuilt lol

[steady sail]

https://store.acer.com/en-us/predator-bifrost-radeon-rx7900-gre-oc-graphics-card

[smoky frigate]

don't use those. but my ear canals are goopy and mutated, not because I think they're bad or anything

[cursive summit]

For less than 60 you aren't getting anything objectively good that aren't IEMs

Lypertek PurePlay Z3 is lowest you can prolly get something actually good in TWS form factor lol

From there on in it it's all the Samsung buds, they ain't trash, tuned by AKG

Foam eartips...thats strange

[cursive summit]

Foam is imo, ass

[tight dragon]

Hey, to be honest, I'm just gonna get Windows 11 as a OS, it's just more easier to me. Do you think I still should buy a 2$ key with a 4080 Super OC?

[cursive summit]

I have some foam ones and hate the shit out of them, they feel godawful in the ears

[cursive summit]

What else would you get if not Windows 11, that's the only normal option

[wheat plume]

they come with silicon ones too, phew

[cursive summit]

Yes just get a 2$ key or just do free activation scripts, whatever fits your boat

[thick elk]

If you are going to pirate just download windows from microsoft and get an activator from github

[wheat plume]

[thick elk]

Obviously not something to link here but easy enough to find out.

AVOID the premade custom ISOs

[steady sail]

https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

[thick elk]

Obviously, I would however create the usb with rufus

or something like that yea

[wheat plume]

WinUtil can make custom ISOs now, right?

[cursive summit]

Also, Lana, check Jabra Elite 4 and WF-C700N

[thick elk]

Don't know have never used it.

[wheat plume]

Im guessing the second one is Sony cause of that awful name

these are 130, thats double the budget xd

[thick elk]

Rufus is nice and quick to skip the bs of the installer microsoft account, and such.

clicking on no on all those privacy options.

[steady sail]

yeah u can

[cursive summit]

The fuck are you talking about

The Sonies I see are $79.99

[wheat plume]

ScratchDir?

[steady sail]

i guess

[wheat plume]

idk wtf that is xd

[wheat plume]

the ones you suggested are 130

[cursive summit]

Seems the price is shit in EU then

In U.S they are a lot cheaper

[wheat plume]

as per usual ...

[smoky frigate]

also it looks like 11 Enterprise LTSC is fully out now, for enterprising fellows

[thick elk]

ireland specifically I think in her case

[wheat plume]

^

23% import tax is hell

[smoky frigate]

everyone is racist against the irish as usual

[wheat plume]

plus now they have to avoid sending shit through the UK cause that would have its own fees to pay too

[cursive summit]

Deserved

[wheat plume]

nah, the UK deserves the racism, not us xd

[steady sail]

the last one is the best

[thick elk]

Seems in NL you can have them for € 67,87 on amazon

[wheat plume]

o hek yeah

[cursive summit]

Razer is indeed shit and why I refuse to buy a mouse from Logi or Razer or any big company

Got an OP1 8K for my wife and been using it for a bit, it's a nice mouse

[wheat plume]

I love my Logitech mouse :D

[cursive summit]

Shit software

That's why I want a simply good no compromise Wooting mouse

[thick elk]

Logitech has some okay things on the lower end but sure.

[steady sail]

im happy with my pulsar mouse

[cursive summit]

Good hardware and good software

I don't understand why Wooters can't just do a simply good mouse

It has to be "unique", there ain't nothing unique to be done about mouses

[thick elk]

I actually would love wooting to try a controller I am sure a lot of things can be done in that space with wootility too.

[cursive summit]

Good software is what's unique in PC mouse market

[steady sail]

even tho pulsars software needs to be downloaded its still okay

[distant tapir]

Logitech has my fav vertical mouse!

[steady sail]

good enough for me lol

[tight dragon]

That's true. If wooting did make a mice then it's officially goated

[thick elk]

In terms of software mice are mostly set and forget to me.

[cursive summit]

Indeed, except I refuse to touch any mouse software cause usually it's just pure ass

[thick elk]

Let me set the 2 CPI's I want to use and that's about it.

[cursive summit]

Razer ones I refuse to even install, total shite

[thick elk]

never go near it again

[tight dragon]

What why?

[thick elk]

On linux this exists: https://openrazer.github.io/

[cursive summit]

Ew, linux

[tight dragon]

razor vip v3 uses synapse software

It's the best rn

[sudden imp]

GASP

[cursive summit]

Razer's trash

[tight dragon]

elaborate

[cursive summit]

Bad software, mid hardware

[tight dragon]

bruh

Can you explain why?

[cursive summit]

Cause it has really bad software?

[thick elk]

Cannot really call current Razer one thing or the other but 2010's they had some really big hardware quality issues.

[tight dragon]

What about the software that's bad??

[cursive summit]

Everything??

I have yet to also have a Razer mouse that lasted more than 2 years lol, they all start to break in some manner

There's no arguments to be made on the obvious

[smoky frigate]

software is pretty shit but the mouse itself I have no complaints about, after using it for.. nearly 2 years now

[thick elk]

Just saying everything does not do any good job of explaining why the software is bad.

[cursive summit]

I had like 3 razers, they all are misbehaving after 2 years in some way

[thick elk]

I only know 2010's razer and there most people I know had razer hardware fail early.

[tight dragon]

What if you don't use the software?

[cursive summit]

My Abyssus broke its middle scroll click, Basilisk stopped working completely, and my Viper Ultimate is constantly double clicking

[thick elk]

back in 2010's they had no onboard memory so you basically had to, but that improved nowadays luckily.

[thick elk]

those are common issues, overall though.

[cursive summit]

I got this OP1 now and it's honestly just a far better mouse than any Razer I've ever had

Not to mention, not shit software lol, Wooting inspired

[pale sigil]

This is unhealthy (from reddit)

[thick elk]

double clicking is a result of lower voltages and pushing debounce times to thee limit on modern mice.

[tight dragon]

rapid trigger

[smoky frigate]

I thought it was bad switches

at the same time!!!!

[distant tapir]

When you reinstall Windows and get a Razer Synapse popup during the setup.

[thick elk]

Not really most of the time, switches are build to last much longer but won't if you lower voltages and leave less room for error in terms of debounce time.
Granted they support that, but the same switches placed on some old mouse will last much longer until they physically deform.

Got to have that good battery life lightweight cheap mouse that also has fast response times.

[wheat plume]

I use piper
No need for the actual logi software

[thick elk]

again vex does not like linux

[smoky frigate]

that said openrazer is also pretty gud

[wheat plume]

You could say that Linux makes him Vexed.....

(I'll see myself out)

[wheat plume]

Facts

[thick elk]

all libratbag

[wheat plume]

My G305 has been saying low battery for the last 3 months

[tight dragon]

I bought a Razor VIP V3 😭 If it had malfunctions like this I would have just got the logitech instead. I haven't had any problems with mine yet tho, and I haven't used it yet either.

[cursive summit]

Mighty original

[pale sigil]

No

[smoky frigate]

if you buy any razer product, their mice are probably their best

never seen another type of razer product that wasn't dog shit

[thick elk]

Their keypad thing was not too bad at the time.
The hydra was fun to have at a massive discount

but neither were made by razer

keypad originally belkin hydra by some startup

[tight dragon]

These youtube videos are real over the top..I guess it's just something people will notice over time when using it

[thick elk]

oh their laptops were also not that bad

[tight dragon]

I know what keyboard I'm getting though..

[cursive summit]

Laptops as qlum said

Actually their laptops are prolly some of the better ones

Other than that, yeah they are dogwater, wouldn't want to own anything from them

[wheat plume]

Arent their Blade laptops hella pricey?

Fedora is so so slow at writing an os-tree commit damn

[cursive summit]

Afaik they are normal priced, sometimes they get some cool quirks though that sets them apart

[hoary jackal]

Just got it

100 worth it

Razer synapse sucks tho

[wheat plume]

yeah, their software is pure computer STD levels of garbage

[hoary jackal]

Viper v3 pro is good and the huntsman v3 mini is good although it has heavy actuation force which is annoying me rn also Razer blades

[hoary jackal]

Its super mega aids of laptop software

Real

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah i have a razer mic and everytime i need to use the software, i think about replaciong it

[wheat plume]

Need to reboot now
Ugh
Atomic distros are such a pain sometimes

I know there's a way to live boot into the new deployment
But I don't trust that method

[deft raptor]

My op1 8k lets me swap the left/right click microswitches

[hoary jackal]

Mic sucks

[hoary jackal]

Biased mouse

[wheat plume]

😢 another reason atomic sucks

Not sure if it'll fit in the motherboard.

[vagrant pagoda]

[tight dragon]

hah

[vagrant pagoda]

if mobo has heatsink then no headsink

if no heatsink get heatsink

[tight dragon]

What do you think? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2v8mqH

[vagrant pagoda]

also its like one of few stereo mics

[hasty thunder]

i'm feeling fooled by Asus...

They claim it's a 540 Hz Monitor while it only runs up to 510 Hz vertically, which means it's NOT a 540 Hz Monitor

[tight dragon]

rip

[hoary jackal]

Bro it’s still 510 hz

💀😭

[hasty thunder]

yet still false claims. If a car salesman tells you this particular car can drive 200 mph you expect 200 and not 180

[ashen spindle]

probably means you have to OC it via the overlay menu

nothing new most screens do that

[hasty thunder]

well, actually no. They did mark their other monitors correctly. Their 380 Hz monitors are listed with 380 Hz vertically

[cursive summit]

Imo no heatsink

[hasty thunder]

you have a meme for everything, do you mark?

[marsh glade]

Yes

[hasty thunder]

where 77.5% meme?

also false advertising btw if we're nitpicky

[vagrant pagoda]

they never said it could do 540 with an input

maybe 540 is osd only

or only with a frame doubler

[hasty thunder]

even with a frame doubler it would still be only 270 Hz in reality, which would absolutely be false advertising

[hoary jackal]

No if car salesmen told u u can drive 50000 mph but u got 48000000 that’s still better than 99 percent of cars

[hoary jackal]

Real

[wheat plume]

30fps is fine on controller
60fps for keyboard and mouse

who tagged me

[gentle crest]

Can anyone explain, why when i hold W all the way down, it types it with normal speed. but when i press it like 0.3 mm down, (not all the way down) then it types w A LOT faster, like 5-6 times as fast

and sometimes when i just press w, it just writes 3-5 W's

it doesnt happen with the other keys where i have same actuation point

also my visual feedback key is moving without me touching the keyboard. like moving from 0.01-0.16

Thats my W key that is giving the feedback ( just took it down to 0.1 ) and it just spammed it. Like a lot faster than what you can usually type

it has happend before. It worked to just replug it, but its a week old and i dont feel like that should be happening?

it does not work to just replug it

AFAIK the Chrome on iOS can do extensions

It's the ad money.

It's $100 (IIRC) and like 1000+ pages.

If I had a better job I'd get it in a heartbeat.

(I think I screwed up an interview for a 60K+/yr job today too)

[unkempt lake]

Rip

Welp you'll do better on the next one

[iron wave]

If I get it, this one took a decade of applying to similar jobs.

What I learned from this chapter is that you take the error, do a derivative and some other math on every neuron in the output layer, then do some very similar math on the next layer and repeat until you get to the first hidden layer. Then you take all of the deltas you just found, multiply them by a "training rate" (like 0.01 or lower), add the results to the weights and go to the next sample. Eventually you'll hypothetically create a network that can do what you want without much error.

It also hinted at some errors in this process, probably to get you hooked into reading so you don't put the book down.

I know there's also code oss and vscodiun though, and that microsoft has visual studio too

Thought visual studio was their brand

[umbral heron]

Yeah, VS Code is Code OSS or whatever they call it now, and Microsoft VS Code is the whole Visual Studio shebang

[leaden kiln]

visual studio code is a text editor with extra features for programming, and and visual studio is their full ide
it's great that they named them almost the same thing, no confusion

[thorny viper]

Visual studio is made only for windows
Vscode provided by Microsoft contains telemetry, if you don’t want that you have to compile it by yourself, or dl Vscodium

I honestly really like it
Looks like it'd be nice to use

[cursive summit]

I doubt that'll be very comfy though

It's too chonk

I think the grip is supposed to be pinkies on the horns and rest of fingers behind the device?

That does not sound comfortable to use

[umbral heron]

I think it'd be supposed to be held like a bit shorter Deck and without the screen
So really comfortable for most of the people

[cursive summit]

Well we'll see, I'm not the market for this

I have a single controller which is Xbox and I can count on fingers how many times I've used it

[umbral heron]

For now looks like DualSense with touchpad in a comfortable spot, so you can use it as a mouse, best of both worlds

[bold coyote]

this is also obviously not a final render so who knows what the final product will look like

[rough osprey]

who needs touchpad

[umbral heron]

I like touchpads, I use the one on Dualsense a lot

I don't normally do narrow band eq just because of how much a pain it is to do

this is for the ft1

for me it overall sounded quite artificial from a timbre perspective, mostly fixed it with this eq
doesn't sound as spacious anymore, but that's what a spaciousness effect sacrifices

[reef patrol]

Welp. Vortex skates were not the thing. 24 hours later and I've had to peel them off and just leave the mouse unskated 😄

They just felt too restrictive and grindy compared to just sliding the plastic bottom on the pad.

[old marlin]

wtf are vortex skates

ah

[reef patrol]

Dots 😄

[old marlin]

yea I've just seen it

reg ptfe dots would have prob been better

[leaden kiln]

Dot skates definitely aren't great on a soft cloth pad
Even worse if they're a slower material

[rough osprey]

true

[reef patrol]

Unfortunately they are the only alternative to no skates with this mouse 😄

[leaden kiln]

There should definitely be full size skates for sale if your mouse is from Logitech

[reef patrol]

Yeah - Ones that block the screw access. Which is the core issue

[rough osprey]

what mouse are you using

oh

[reef patrol]

Ye olde' shitterlight

[rough osprey]

do you need to access the inside that often?

[reef patrol]

Yes. Because of Logitech's poor design. I need to open it every few months to clean the scroll wheel. Otherwise it clogs up and starts going in the wrong direction.

[rough osprey]

oh

pets ?

[leaden kiln]

You could try another mouses skates on it
Finalmouse shape skates are pretty small and might fit around the holes, they are still a bit bigger than dots

[reef patrol]

Bad sensor, dust buildup, impossible to get to scroll wheel without taking it apart - And Logitech loves covering screws with skates n' batteries 😄

probably just get any other white dot skate

anyway the meme part of it is

[umbral heron]

Lana 2.0

[ashen spindle]

lacking the means to infect all Linux distributions other than Ubuntu

[old marlin]

[ashen spindle]

it is a proof of concept so more tailored to one option but still funny

[digital cliff]

had to replace skates when I replaced the clicks because of course the screws are under the skates

[analog sinew]

[wheat plume]

I'm getting mixed messages

Is it in the wild or just proof of concept?!??

[umbral heron]

Something something modern journalism

[ashen spindle]

those sentences arent mutually exclusive

[umbral heron]

Eh, if you don't use Ubuntu with self-signed certificate you don't have to worry

[ashen spindle]

continue reading the ars article and it says how and where it appeared

you can find proof of concepts in the wild, doesnt mean the finding was an actively exploited machine

[wheat plume]

Oh....now I need to enable secure boot

Though I don't use Ubuntu
So it's not a problem yet

[old marlin]

On their new models

They even have threaded inserts on the shell so the threads can't degrade or rip out

[digital cliff]

wish it was on the old models too

[vagrant pagoda]

everything should always have threaded inserts

[deft raptor]

Yeah, Op1 has brass threaded inserts

[old marlin]

They also sell you switch modules

[leaden kiln]

qpwgraph or helvum

[errant bay]

where i have to go to change wotting settings

[marsh glade]

Don't cross post across multiple channels

[iron wave]

Does anyone happen to know how to find more information about this?

(It's from a 2023 Chevy Bolt)

[marsh glade]

Maybe here?
https://www.chevybolt.org/

[iron wave]

I really don't want to make another random account but that sort of thing might be required. I really wish auto manufacturers made accessing information I have a right to have easier....

[analog sinew]

guys i think i didnt win the giveaway

[iron wave]

What giveaway?

[smoky frigate]

elon's crypto giveaways? yeah I never win those either

[iron wave]

I've given him like 50BTC, he owes me like 5000BTC.

/s

[analog sinew]

there was a 9800x3d giveaway

[iron wave]

Oh that's nice.

Those are monsters.

[errant bay]

Can someone help me set my mouse

[cursive summit]

https://youtu.be/NFPcLmIVIbY

I swear HU is getting on my nerves

Yet another video where something is wrong with it, and this time there's no mled

People just forget about miniled which imo is best display tech rn

[ashen spindle]

maybe because its only TVs and not in monitor size

[charred nexus]

cuz it's a monitor?

[cursive summit]

What, miniled monitors are plenty nowadays?

[distant tapir]

Miniled is the king display tech for TVs imo. HDR king.

[ashen spindle]

for example?

[cursive summit]

Uhh?

[ashen spindle]

wait are you mixing things up again

[cursive summit]

There's plenty to choose from nowadays, well priced

[ashen spindle]

like this IPS mini led

or this VA mini led

mini led is the type of backlight

not the panel

[cursive summit]

Kay, the products are still known as miniled

[ashen spindle]

but its about display tech not backlight tech

[cursive summit]

So why's the QD in OLED in the title?

QD afaik is backlight tech

[ashen spindle]

no it changes how the pixel is illuminated

[charred nexus]

But on a monitor, something like 27 inch or 32 inch imo doesn't really fit the mini led use case
If you are sitting that close to it, do you really need it to be that bright?

I mean mini led do have something that isn't a problem compared to oled

Which is it doesn't have burn in risk

[ashen spindle]

its mostly for better HDR due to better zone control and the contrast

[charred nexus]

Yeah but like OLED already has good HDR?

[ashen spindle]

yeah thats why miniled is used on ips/va

[charred nexus]

I know, I'm saying that I dont think mini led monitor would be the best monitor

Especially talking about a 27-32 inch range

[ashen spindle]

yup

im guessing hes thinking of microled or something

[charred nexus]

micro led would be a way different topic

[bright briar]

someone posted this in a server im in and im just speechless

[crimson wigeon]

Beauty

[charred nexus]

It looks good enough for me

[bright briar]

the cable management though😭

[charred nexus]

Slap a side panel on it no one will know

Unless you are running glass, then if they dont gaf about the cable I don't see that's an issue. Most "normal" people just run their PC on the floor anyway. No one will even see that.

[cursive summit]

I've seen miniled displays in action and I prefer them over OLED

Mainly cause 1) No burn in 2) Color saturation

[trail roost]

that cable management is criminal

four ram slots taken up too cooked

[ashen spindle]

no burn is irrelevant, still dont have burn in on my qdoeld screen

[charred nexus]

Which OLED monitor are you comparing the situation to tho. I've seen QD-OLED and a mini led monitor side by side, I like the QD better

[cursive summit]

Burn in is relevant for me, so I'm never going to consider an OLED for a monitor

[trail roost]

color is fine if you set it up properly on mine atleast and burn in is not really an issue atleast with the latest gen ones

[cursive summit]

Miniled though looks quite nice in colours, I'll prolly look for one eventually

[ashen spindle]

wym it its relevant for you, it basically doesnt happen

[cursive summit]

Even hub is reporting faint burn in after what, 6 months of usage?

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi37daETnf0

9 months of never running any compensation cycle and never moving taskbar etc. and at worst you can see where the taskbar is on a dark screen

[cursive summit]

It's happening, so not getting an OLED

If it self destructs even slowly I don't care, my secondary is 6 years old and that's at least how much I'm expecting it to last

[trail roost]

bros just stubborn let him be

[charred nexus]

lmao

[cursive summit]

Miniled is good enough anyways

[ashen spindle]

it self destructs if you do it ON PURPOSE

[bright briar]

thats what im thinking. still a nice build but they could do a better job with the cables

[distant tapir]

Of course there's little burn-in risk when oleds are so shit at brightness

[charred nexus]

Tbh I have no rights to change your choice of monitor but I just think that OLED isnt worse for a monitor than a mini led. TV is another topic

[unkempt lake]

I have something worse to show you

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[molten silo]

how to get this role?

[trail roost]

its not that bad, people tend to blow out of proption how "important" it is for a build to look good but when do you actually just stare at ur pc when you use it. If it works it works

[cursive summit]

Tbf you'll never change my choice for monitor lol, it self destructs = I'm not getting it

[charred nexus]

Pre order an 80HE

[bright briar]

true youre not wrong

[cursive summit]

And then I'll have to also enable that hide taskbar thing for that not to burn in either? Not doing it

[ashen spindle]

no you dont have to do that either

[distant tapir]

I never hid the taskbar on my LG C2. I had around 8 000 hours with no burn-in. But I ran at lower brightness when at SDR.

[molten silo]

uh ok

[trail roost]

like this one mine its simple and works

[cursive summit]

Oo, Ukraine 🇺🇦

[unkempt lake]

Helped a guy and he couldn't be assed cable managing

Eventually after shaming him for it he "cable managed" it

[trail roost]

cable management aint thaaat hard unless you got a really shitty case

[unkempt lake]

For reference here was his previous pc

[charred nexus]

I learnt quite long ago when I used to have friends. That to most people the looks of their PC doesn't really matter, it's a tool to them. They don't look at it like we would.
I built a PC for them and made it as tidy as I could, they bought a new GPU and upgraded themselves, and the cables are messy asf after they did it. And they just don't care

[molten silo]

this cooler.... my mann

[reef patrol]

4+4 EPS cable just casually going across the CPU cooler and down the bottom, instead of... up and behind the motherboard where it belongs.

https://tenor.com/view/critical-role-foldbaron-matt-mercer-oh-boy-gif-2354853502876055378

[trail roost]

yeah i mean i tuck in my cables as much as I can because its just convient for me so I dont have a mess infront of me when I try to replace or take out parts. But I agree its not important performance always >>> looks. If it works it works

[unkempt lake]

He kept complaining his cables were "short"

[charred nexus]

If you preorder it you get the role, if you buy it rn you won't have the role. Just like you buy a 60HE rn you won't get the 60HE pre order role

[unkempt lake]

Despite me explaining to him how to route it

He just wouldn't listen

[reef patrol]

[molten silo]

thx

[gloomy linden]

he could still probably get longer cables and make more of a mess

[bright briar]

yeah but thats so much better than the pic i uploaded

[charred nexus]

I did my cable pretty nicely cuz I like my PC on my desk to look tidy.

On the other hand I don't really cable manage on my servers, as I won't look at it, I just tidy to a point where the cable wouldn't tangle itself when I work on it, it's fine for me.

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man2-spider-man-spider-man2train-fight-tobey-maguire-train-fight-gif-26415193

the pc build holding itself together

[charred nexus]

No problem, hope you are happy with your 80HE

[trail roost]

my server just sits as an open bench on a table haha

[balmy vector]

Hmmmm, they should rotate the aio cap

[trail roost]

yeah ture but it didnt take long just need a decent case to build in

and you need to know what you're doing

[bright briar]

they should do a lot of things

[balmy vector]

Naaah

[charred nexus]

My server just sits in a cheap ass case I found that has hard drive cages, it has little to none back side cable manage space, I just route all the power cable from the front lmao

[trail roost]

lmao

i like my setup for my main pc just waiting on my keyboard and mouse to come in rn

[charred nexus]

I mean who's gonna look inside it, basically no one so idgaf

[trail roost]

yuup

[charred nexus]

Unless it's an aesthetic build, like I have a glass panel over it and it's the main show piece in my setup.
I ain't gonna spend 1-2 hours trying to tie up all the SATA cables all the power cables and hide it in the back panel. And when I need to swap stuff I need to do it all over again.

[leaden kiln]

Cable managemtn kinda cringe
I just have a case with no glass and no space for management 😎

I built ny first pc in a prebuilt dell vostro case
that one was even worse

[trail roost]

yeah fair enough

[leaden kiln]

maybe i will spend 50 bucks on mouse skates just for fun
I didn't end up living the obsidian pros

[charred nexus]

I don't cable manage much cuz half of my builds are itx/sff

[leaden kiln]

doesn't itx just mean you are forced to manage
at least a little

[charred nexus]

I just make it fit

I don't make it look nice

[leaden kiln]

I routed mine just real quick but there isn't that much space

[charred nexus]

I do manage a little bit so it won't have a cable sticking inside the fan blades or whatever

[steady sail]

i hate cable managing xd

[leaden kiln]

I had trouble with that so I just got a grill for one of my fans

Printed one

[charred nexus]

I don't have a 3d printer

I use tape

If it were to be sticking in my fan, I just use tape to stick it onto something else

But good thing that I don't encounter this problem, I just let it hang and it's fine

[leaden kiln]

I was gonna buy one but then I realized I could just print one

[smoky frigate]

managed spaghetti beats too much effort

[steady sail]

yeah

[tight dragon]

@cursive summit Hey 👋 someone suggested me this monitor for the setup I showed you last night. What's your opinion on it? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8Q6S98S/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_9S1Z520X2HSNBQZG82FC

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PsYtgn

Also, regarding the motherboard you suggested, I did some research on it,

It has exploded for some people, or burned out using this CPU for this motherboard, it definitely still works for the 7000 series, but I just don't know that much about it.

7800X3D

[ashen spindle]

every board is fine just update bios

[analog sinew]

fucking x3D preorder price has gone up another 10€

these damn rats

[tight dragon]

You have any recommendation on what videos to watch for configuration on the BIOs?

[ashen spindle]

no configuration needed just make sure its updated

[tight dragon]

Alright

[tight dragon]

What's your opinion on this monitor by the way?

[ashen spindle]

idk check rtings or tftcentral or monitors unboxed and see if they have a review of it

[tight dragon]

Thank you 🙏

[tight dragon]

I know right..It's tragic, but it is the most latest hardware tech right now

[analog sinew]

at the same time... it will go down to msrp rn

but that just means I have to wait

:/

[cursive summit]

Seems tad expensive for what you're getting but that's a fine panel I guess
