[unkempt lake]

You can play at 8gb you just gotta keep your expectations reasonable

[rain quiver]

I was gonna buy it but my pc cant run it all that good so ill pass

[cursive summit]

You don't?

[rain quiver]

Thats what the games recommend specs are tho

[cursive summit]

7800XT gets 70+ at QHD raytracing lol

[rain quiver]

4090 for 4k ultra 60 fps

And 4080 for 1440p ultra 60 fps

[cursive summit]

What the fuck are you talking about jan

[unkempt lake]

He's talking about the pathtracing mode

Lmao

You don't have to turn on pathtracing...

[cursive summit]

4K raytracing

[rain quiver]

I didn’t even know it had PT all i know is that RT is on by default

So rip AMD users

[cursive summit]

QHD

[unkempt lake]

it runs well on amd

lol

[cursive summit]

So, troya, what the fuck are you talking about

[rain quiver]

On ultra?

[cursive summit]

Also pathtracing if I read correctly is not in the game

[unkempt lake]

yes

[cursive summit]

They'll release it later iirc

[rain quiver]

Not that well because RT is on by default

[unkempt lake]

it releases at launch

[rain quiver]

You cant turn it off can you

[unkempt lake]

rn the game is in early acccess for deluxe edition owners

[unkempt lake]

...

dude look at the benchmarks

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/220093300672167936/1315079607820750859/image.png?ex=67561ad3&is=6754c953&hm=0ac6ba3f022f069a6abafc0de4f712abba6a1f1b5114e14020f711bdd358ceaa&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

how's this bad for amd

[cursive summit]

Oh damn look raytracing and AMD matches its Nvidia equivalent

This has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE

AMD is ALWAYS LACKING

Suddenly it's matching

[rain quiver]

This is what the fuck im talking about

[cursive summit]

Why the fuck are you looking at requirements when THE GAME IS OUT?

Benchmarks are out

Look at BENCHMARKS

[rain quiver]

This benchmark isnt enough

[unkempt lake]

there's more than just this benchmarkj

[rain quiver]

Also its not that deep stop freaking out

[unkempt lake]

look at the DF video i sent

[rain quiver]

Bruh is about to pop a vein

[unkempt lake]

technically im not gonna match the 4080 with my 7900xtx in RT but i'll be around a 4070 ti super which is generally what i noticed when using RT on the 7900xtx

[cursive summit]

Brudda is trolling

[cursive summit]

Well yeah it's not supposed to match lol, AMD's RT is a full generation behind

But the fact it nearly does with MachineGames custom engine implementation of RT it's kinda great

[unkempt lake]

but then again i literally got my 7900xtx for the price of a 4070 ti back then lol

so im not complaining

still very nice performance :)

[cursive summit]

It seems to be decently optimized, also pretty good game apparently

[unkempt lake]

i bought it

the basic bitch edition

[cursive summit]

Todd Howard.. actually did it

[unkempt lake]

so im waiting for it to like.. be available to me

[unkempt lake]

[unkempt lake]

nuh huh

no todd howard

[unkempt lake]

he only took part in the game's story

and was hands off

[cursive summit]

Don't you dare defile Todd Howard's work, peasant

Todd is the God, truly

Hasn't had a single miss, all games perfect for 30 years

[unkempt lake]

cough cough

[leaden kiln]

tesvi when

[unkempt lake]

[raven grove]

predictions this won't ever ship?

[cursive summit]

Lol you must be just a hater, look at these accolades from these actually real and influential publications

You are probably a Twitter hate bot

Todd is GOD!

[unkempt lake]

You're right

I'm literally just an Amazon Alexa programmed to chat on discord

literally my purpose

im an ai

[cursive summit]

Starfield got GOTY snubbed cause he didn't pay Geoff Clownley for the award

Todd is always right, he would never tell me sweet little lies

[rain quiver]

So garbage

Spent so much money on a half assed bare bones game

[cursive summit]

https://wccftech.com/asus-intros-core-tuning-config-for-gaming-feature-in-am5-bios-reduces-overall-system-latency-for-faster-performance-on-ryzen-cpus/

Is this like a dynamic game overclock?

[unkempt lake]

idk

[cursive summit]

That's what it seems it is, it messes with memory and CCD timings

Ain't that.. kinda not safe?

It'll crash during gameplay

[unkempt lake]

Generally overclocking as a whole can do that already

[cursive summit]

Not as much as timings I don't think

Those are, or well I remember them being, very sensitive

Not as much as GPUs

[unkempt lake]

I've had my 7800x3d since june

Havent even bothered tweaking it

Besides turning on expo

And setting up a fan curve

[raven grove]

There isnt much to tweak? Especially on 3d chios

[unkempt lake]

Pbo + UV

[raven grove]

Isn't the only thing basically undervolting

[unkempt lake]

Is all you can do yeah

And tightening timings on the ram

[raven grove]

I just use gigabyte x3d turbo boost crap

[unkempt lake]

To like cl28

[cursive summit]

Todd Howard would have undervolted and overclocked that system better than you Dashi

[raven grove]

My CPU kept hitting 90+ degrees (7800x3D)

[cursive summit]

That's why he's the goat

[raven grove]

Gigabyte turbo removes so much CPU features so it runs colder

[unkempt lake]

You're right i only undervolted my 7900xtx i'm incompetent

[raven grove]

I got 7900XTX too, it's annoying, too much heat

[unkempt lake]

It's fine

[analog sinew]

todd just buys New hardware

the game is optimized

[raven grove]

My SSDs are always at 60 c

[unkempt lake]

I undervolted to gain a few more fps for free

[raven grove]

I don't know if that's bad

[unkempt lake]

That's fine

[balmy vector]

Kinda toasty but its fine

Generally

[unkempt lake]

Just open the window

[raven grove]

I put my 7900XTX in a 4000d airflow, I should have bought bigger case lol

[cursive summit]

Indeed, you don't deserve to play the goat's games if you can't afford a new GPU

[raven grove]

I went pure functional build, no aesthetics

[unkempt lake]

I have mine in a Meshify 2XL

[raven grove]

I would buy new case but then I would have to sell the old one or throw it o7t

[unkempt lake]

Also idk what cooler you're running but i'm in the 60s and 70s with an NH-U12A with my 7800x3d. Idk what you're doing to get yours to 90

[balmy vector]

7000d airflow

[raven grove]

I have dark rock pro 4

[cursive summit]

Eh, that's fine

[raven grove]

I just run it at 100% now since you can't ever hear the fans I was dumb and didn't do that from start

Only Metro Exodus gets me to hit 90 C

7800x3D + 7900 XTX, ultra 2k resolution

[cursive summit]

How are you getting such toasty temps on an airflow case and a decent tower cooler

[raven grove]

Was thermal throttling with that game at like 300+ fps

[unkempt lake]

meanwhile i run my fans at like... 1200rpm and they don't move

Its just a flat line

[cursive summit]

Did you forget to peel off the plastic at the top of the CPU and the cooler plate?

[raven grove]

No I idle around mid 30s

[unkempt lake]

Tbh there's clearly something wrong with his stuff

[raven grove]

I think that game just eats the CPU or something

[unkempt lake]

Even when running the latest cinebench i hit like 80 at most...

[raven grove]

I might buy some thermal grizzly though

[cursive summit]

Metro Exodus is perfectly optimized afaik

[unkempt lake]

yep it's super light on cpu actually

[cursive summit]

Something's up with your case, maybe you are suffocating the case and forgot to put fans in proper push-pull configs and they are all on pull

[unkempt lake]

Clearly something wrong

[raven grove]

Even with side panel off it would hit the 90s

[cursive summit]

I doubt it's the cooler

[cursive summit]

Well then it's prolly the cooler and CPU

[raven grove]

I just think it's the game, no other game or workflow produces that same temp

[cursive summit]

Repaste it cause that's sus

[unkempt lake]

Maybe he mounted his cooler fans in a reverse configuration

[cursive summit]

Don't they come pre-mounted

[trim crane]

which variant of the XTX

[unkempt lake]

They don't

[raven grove]

XFX

[cursive summit]

Hm, my Peerless didn't but maybe those do

[unkempt lake]

I have the same

[cursive summit]

Actually my 212X did come premounted

[unkempt lake]

No issues with heat

[trim crane]

i like the XFX cards,

[raven grove]

With gigabyte turbo mode and CPU fans at 100% I don't get past 70 C

So I don't worry about it anymore

[trim crane]

they are so clean in design

[raven grove]

Yeah XFX are really good price and seem high quality

[unkempt lake]

Gigabyte turbo mode lmao

[raven grove]

I like the mounting bracket stuff it came with

[unkempt lake]

Oh yeah that gpu anti sag bracket is solid

[cursive summit]

I mean..

[raven grove]

Gigabyte turbo mode actually is good compared to other manufacturers cause they do sneaky RAM stuff

[cursive summit]

Dark Rock is kinda old by now, and not the best, and if you are using some low end thermal paste

[unkempt lake]

How does a dark rock compare to a u12a

[cursive summit]

It shouldn't still hit 90 but like 80 or so

U12A isn't that Noctua's low profile cooler?

[unkempt lake]

It's basically a u12s with extra heatpipes and 2 better fans. Gets equivalent perf to the D15

[raven grove]

I just used the cheap thermal paste that came with be quiet, it's funny cause I used to run thermal grizzly on my 5600x

[unkempt lake]

Without being well... a d15

https://noctua.at/en/nh-u12a

[cursive summit]

Seems about equal to yours

[raven grove]

I know someone who did a gaming build, 9900x + 96 GB of Ram then paired that with a 4070 Ti, I didn't comment on how stupid that build was lol

[cursive summit]

Looking at a TPU review, same thermal performance

[unkempt lake]

Which is why his temps puzzle me

[raven grove]

Apparently 48 GB sticks are a thing now

[cursive summit]

48GBx2s is completely normal

Prolly does productivity

With a 12 core especially

[raven grove]

Nah, maybe tinker with python

You don't need 96GB for that lol

[cursive summit]

You kinda want a lot of RAM for that

Depends on use cases obviously

[raven grove]

Idk I doubt it

[cursive summit]

AI and stuff is pretty hungry if you are running a model

Honestly, I think Dashi's build is very similar to yours, and you defo have some kind of hardware problem lel

I would repaste your build, check mounting pressure, maybe forgot to peel off plastic or something

[unkempt lake]

i'm not even using an am5 offset bracket, just using am4 brackets

[raven grove]

If it idles in mid 30s I definitely did not forget the remove plastics

[cursive summit]

Jesus the delinquency levels are insane

Mid 30s is completely normal lol

Tbf 90 iirc is not even close to thermal throttling

[unkempt lake]

At 100% fan speed

[cursive summit]

I mean.. then it's yeah kinda high

[unkempt lake]

Actually 85c is the limit for 7800x3d

[cursive summit]

Isn't it 110

[raven grove]

It's like 89

[unkempt lake]

nope

[raven grove]

Or 91

[unkempt lake]

That's zen4 non 3d

[cursive summit]

95 I am seeing is the limit

Which you are close to hitting which is defo extremely sus

[raven grove]

Only in metro Exodus

[cursive summit]

Time for tinkering with the rig

[raven grove]

No point in retesting, no more hyper threading = CPU maxed out at 70C

Its a pure gaming usecase

[unkempt lake]

I idle in the 40-50 range but i have my fans set to like... being non existent at those temps

Because i like my pc being quiet af when i work

Zero rpm gpu + fans almost at idle

[raven grove]

The be quiet fans are legit unhearable at 100%

You can't hear the CPU fans, may as well run at 100%

[leaden kiln]

Yeah 7800x3d tjmax is 89C according to amds website

Mine is also idling at 40-50 with my tiny low profile cooler, but it's not quite silent then

[raven grove]

If Amazon gives 1 day shipping on thermal grizzly then I'll repaste and retest temps

Or what paste should I get

[unkempt lake]

I just use good old nt h2 from noctua

As well it doesn't really dry up

[raven grove]

I want end game thermal paste that costs like $10-15 a tube

Is nt h2 better than thermal grizzly

[cursive summit]

Tbf since you are running the Dark Rock 4 which is ancient with a pretty new CPU and you said you used the cheap one that came with the fan, the thermal paste is prolly just solid lol

Literally solidified calcified toothpaste on that CPU

[balmy vector]

Ptm the goat

[raven grove]

Bios idles 30

[cursive summit]

If it's not liquid metal, yes

[raven grove]

These?

[unkempt lake]

Running cinebench r24 i hit 85c but that's with like... the slowest ramping fancurve on earth

[cursive summit]

Don't lol

[unkempt lake]

And that's r24 which is well... one of the worst torture tests you can use

[cursive summit]

Noctua's one and MX-6 are pretty good pastes

[raven grove]

Maybe be quiet sucks cause they focus on fans that are inaudible at 100% speed

[cursive summit]

I mean, just get a Phantom Spirit or a liquid cooler and it'll be gucci

[raven grove]

Nah no point buying new cooler

[cursive summit]

DarkRockPro4 does 1200 / 1500 which are.. normal I think?

Kind of similar to the D15G2 iirc

[leaden kiln]

Until I set pbo on my x3d, I was just barely hitting 89 and throttling

[cursive summit]

If you don't trust their fans, you can always buy replacement ones

[cursive summit]

Keep the tower, throw out the fans and insert new ones

[raven grove]

I turn off x3d turbo, what stress test did you say I should do, cause metro Exodus is the most extreme one temperature wise lol

[unkempt lake]

Literally barely running my fans...

[cursive summit]

Tbf my laptop in turbo mode has lower temps than you people do lol

Tbf 7800X3D does run very hot

[unkempt lake]

Not when running cinebench r24

[raven grove]

I'm running prime95

Barley breaking 66

Well let me give it a few minutes

[unkempt lake]

Also welp... i don't care about temps as long as my fans are inaudible

3x140mm at the front
Helps too :3 all noctua

[cursive summit]

The black versions?

Cause Noctua brown is so 🤢

[leaden kiln]

Ew

[cursive summit]

That's literally racist, sir?

[leaden kiln]

That's literally racist, sir?

[raven grove]

few minutes of prime 95

now let me show you temps with metro exodus running lol

[unkempt lake]

My u12a is brown

[raven grove]

can't even break 70 degrees

metro exodus will get me to 90s right away

[unkempt lake]

because you're not running avx on your prime95

... and metro uses avx

[raven grove]

I didn't disable avx

also ew, did bios update forgot to turn off integrated GPU

my 2 watts bruh

[unkempt lake]

Why would you turn it off

[raven grove]

save the planet

[unkempt lake]

Its practical + you have smart access video with your 7900xtx

[raven grove]

wait I get benefits for keeping it on?

🤨

[unkempt lake]

With a 7000 series gpu yes

[raven grove]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-meme-gif-26978290

[unkempt lake]

Allows you to encode/decode video on the cpu's igpu

[raven grove]

do I need to enable anything or is that enabled by default

[unkempt lake]

Default

[raven grove]

is it this?

[ashen spindle]

SAV is the amd version of quicksync if you edit something in davinci or similar

[raven grove]

oh it doesn't do much for gaming?

[unkempt lake]

no

[ashen spindle]

absolute nothing

[ashen spindle]

this is something else, keep that enabled

[unkempt lake]

You could run your second monitor from the igpu tho

[raven grove]

I'll keep it on cause I only turn it off cause minor OCD

[wild coyote]

[kindred heart]

Does anyone use pwnage stormbreaker, can you let me know if it’s worth getting

[timber yacht]

wooting 60 he windowws key not working and cant acess fn layer 2 by pressing fn1 and capslock

[raven grove]

well I can't seem to get it to hit thermal limits anymore... guess all I needed to do was just run CPU fans at 100% (since Dark Rock Pro 4 fans -> Achieves only 24.3dB(A) at maximum fan speed)

Legit sounds the same from 20% speed to 100% speed

[cursive summit]

It's cause the min speed apparently is 1250RPM and max is 1500

There's very little difference between them

[harsh flume]

phantom spirit for 7950x or is there better?

[magic minnow]

I use one on my 7950X3D

[harsh flume]

okay ill prob be going phantom spirit

[haughty vector]

anyone with an amd graphics card know how to remove fps cap? its like an inconsistent cap and goes away for a little after i disable enhanced sync but comes back after like 5 minujtes

[magic minnow]

@sonic adder gotta @ the number 1 shooter for amd

[haughty vector]

i think its something with like tuning for each game

[gusty nexus]

I don't have a FPS cap on my AMD GPU so it's probably something inside adrenalin

[haughty vector]

its like everytime i alt tab it resets

[mossy prawn]

Do we have any audio professionals in here? Would you say it's worth it to get an AMP/DAC for my DT 1990 PRO Headphones?

I mean they work fine (I guess) when I use them for pc audio.

Using EqualizerAPO with their profile

Idk if the amp/dac stuff is just snake oil or if it actually improves the quality of the audio

[trim crane]

[magic minnow]

Wowow

[final flame]

realistically you don't need much to power them, a basic amp will suffice if you want headroom to be eqing them

main reason why you'd want something is if you're going to be eqing, or your PC audio is introducing noise

[mossy prawn]

Yes I can run them with no problem by just plugging them into my pc.

I was just wondering if I would get noticeable better sound with an AMP/DAC?

[final flame]

not really no

unless if your pc audio has issues

[mossy prawn]

Why do so many people have an amp/dac then?

[final flame]

flexibility is the main reason

if you're going to be eqing a bass shelf on a headphone you're going to want headroom

[mossy prawn]

what flexibility?

[final flame]

if you get a new headphone, it'd be nice to just plug it in without having to upgrade anything else

[mossy prawn]

Shouldn't most motherboards run them without problem?

[final flame]

most motherboards also introduce noise into the signal, they aren't really the cleanest signals out there

most motherboards also don't output much power

[mossy prawn]

Ok, probably true with all the other stuff going on with mb's.

What AMP/DAC would you recommend?

[final flame]

budget being?

[mossy prawn]

maybe 200€

I saw the topping DX3+ pro, but its so ugly

[final flame]

I would recommend something like a jdslabs atom + apple dongle as the dac

[mossy prawn]

Why the apple dongle?

[digital cliff]

because it's basically perfect and it's 10 bucks

[final flame]

the atom is only a amp, it only amplifies the signal
you need to put a analog signal into it if you want to hear anything

the apple dongle is simply acting as a dac

to convert digital audio into analog

[mossy prawn]

can't get the jdlabs in EU without paying a ton of duties and taxes

[final flame]

what country are you in?

[mossy prawn]

germany

[digital cliff]

magni is an option from schiit-europe.com

or the ifi zendac that's already a dac/amp and widely available in EU wheverer

[final flame]

wouldn't you also have to pay taxes on that too?

assuming the magni is in stock, because it's nearly never in stock

[digital cliff]

well you pay taxes on everything, you just also don't have to import it since it's pre-imported

and don't have to pay 50$ in shipping from across the pond as well

[magic minnow]

Schiit is good since based out of Texas

[final flame]

ifi amps are alright, although they do color the sound a fair bit

[mossy prawn]

the ifi things look super ugly

[final flame]

blame the brits

[magic minnow]

https://www.schiit.com/products/fulla-2

[mossy prawn]

Would rather buy the topping DX3 pro

[digital cliff]

so what do you consider not ugly

[magic minnow]

What about this little guy

[mossy prawn]

the atom thing looks clean

[digital cliff]

then do

[final flame]

how about the fiio k7?

[mossy prawn]

could get that for 228€

[digital cliff]

feels like all the audio gear is either US-based or chifi

meaning either you get flaky ugly garbage or pay +100%

[final flame]

for the most part yea

[digital cliff]

I'd just get something off the secondhand market and dodge both these issues

magnis are constantly being sold locally in finland, I assume same goes for germany

[final flame]

senny doesn't sell anything that's affordable

[digital cliff]

pay 70-80€ instead of like 180€ for no reason

[final flame]

as far as amps go

[mossy prawn]

yeah probably will try that

[misty matrix]

I can recommend the k7

especially if you need a dacamp

[digital cliff]

geshelli labs archel

[final flame]

@mossy prawn
I would also recommend running a eq with the dt1990 pro, just because it's FR can be quite wonky

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/et4v9fw4c2xmu0r0t0dzz/Beyerdynamic-DT1990-Analytic-Earpads.pdf?rlkey=c6q4z6l4g73ju7lt4ficb4cqe&e=1&dl=0

[mossy prawn]

I do run an EQ. I use EqualizerAPO with AutoEQ profile

[final flame]

personally the autoeq profiles can be kinda meh
the oratory autoeq profiles are different from the ones oratory actually makes

[mossy prawn]

easy way to import this?

[final flame]

sadly no

the main thing with auto eq is it doesn't generally take account of how the measurement rig responds to things for example resonances that are created from it

and as you can see on the right side of that screenshot there is a bunch of preference options that can be made to fine tune the eq

[jovial ivy]

Peace has an online feature somewhere, I've used it before but had no luck personally but all I know about peace is that it uses lowcut filters for basically everything or highcut filters depending on the freq

[mossy prawn]

Idk what that means

[final flame]

it means nothing

[jovial ivy]

Just don't use Peace.

[final flame]

because it's just wrong

I wasn't agreeing with you

[mossy prawn]

Do you use an eq @final flame ?

[final flame]

yea, I use peace

for some headphones I use oratory's profiles, otherwise I make my own

[mossy prawn]

where can I find the adjust stuff?

[final flame]

just adjust the gain of the bands you've inputted from the eq profile on the left

and once you get it where you want it you're going to want to adjust your preamp

[mossy prawn]

copy this right?

[final flame]

wdym copy?

you're editing the gain of the bands accordingly as they are on the left side

do this first

you can ignore the BW column

[mossy prawn]

ok done

[final flame]

take a screenshot of it just so I can verify

[final flame]

okay for that first band, the low shelf one
select the low shelf with q as slope

now that that's done you can take a look at the right side and adjust the bands it calls to for those different traits

go ahead and listen to music you listen to often as you do this so that way you can hear what you're adjusting

[mossy prawn]

is that necessary or could I just leave it like that?

what about the pre amp? Its at -5.9

[final flame]

you can just leave it that way if you alreadly like how it sounds

as for pre amp press this button and take a screenshot of the window that shows up

[mossy prawn]

somehow the sound doesn't change if I turn peace off. It did previously

[final flame]

most likely auto eq isn't working

[final flame]

your preamp will be fine at -5.9

are you installing eq apo onto a realtek audio device?

[mossy prawn]

actually don't know if I did

[final flame]

you can press this C button right here to bring up the configurator

[mossy prawn]

[final flame]

okay you're going to need to install eq apo

https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/

peace is only the interface to eq apo, without it you can't run any eq profiles

[mossy prawn]

https://www.amazon.de/FiiO-Bluetooth-Kopfhörer-Verstärker-PCM384kHz-Cinch-Eingänge/dp/B0C3HHCTJC

Maybe getting this because auf AAC support

[mossy prawn]

yes, I thought I did

just headphones right

[final flame]

yes just the headphones

[mossy prawn]

somehow I still get the error when I click the C

but turn on/off works now

[final flame]

interesting, well at least it works now

if you want to fix that error you can do this

actually nvm, probably best to just leave it

as long as the eq get applied is what matters

the configurator should just show up under windows search anyways

but yea, just go ahead and save that as a profile and you can close out of peace

[mossy prawn]

doesnt show

[final flame]

check this directory
C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO

[mossy prawn]

can I dm you, so we don't spam the channel to much?

hi

[charred nexus]

bro apple music is so stupid

idk why the autoplay never works

sometimes i just wanna play one song and let it suggest me other similar songs

[steady sail]

LMAO

[charred nexus]

this is one of the reason i kept spotify

i have no idea why it doesnt work half of the time

[steady sail]

Same tho i never tried

Apple music

[reef patrol]

Jesus. Microsoft have really gone off the deep end. It still scans files when it is supposedly turned off.

[charred nexus]

I have Apple Music cuz i have Apple One and i want to use it for the Hi Res Music

but it keep me away from fully switching cuz the algo are worst on auto play and it doesnt work for me half of the time

[steady sail]

I do use an airpods soo i dont really care about music formats

Im perfectly fine with mp3 quality

[charred nexus]

i mean i do use airpods on the go

but like when im home i dont

[steady sail]

Im soo used to spotify and i mainly listen Japanese songs

And not every Japanese artist are do global stuff

And i know that bc one of friend do use apple music

As i know that he needs to download songs xd

[charred nexus]

idk i dont really listen to much indie stuff

most of the artist are on both

[steady sail]

Thats the funny thing they are not indie

[charred nexus]

huh

the one i listen to either they are on both or on neither

but thats like only for some who only make cover

*In the event of a spill of any kind, We strongly recommend taking it apart fully, cleaning/drying all individual parts (except for the switches and keycaps) and leaving it to air dry for a day or so. The only place where you may run into issues would be inside of the switches, and where the stabilizer wires slot into the black housing pieces - since both of these have lube applied.

The PCB has two areas that cannot be coated with our "anti spill" coating, the USB-C connector area, and the four pinholes above spacebar.

This video shows the complete disassembly process.

And no. Damage caused by bad choices are not covered under warranty. Though we can help with replacement parts at cost as needed. First they gotta clean up the board and see what needs fixing.

Any dead keys? Try the replacement ones included with the board.
Sticky switches? Impractical to open up and clean and relube - easier to buy new switches.

[woven fractal]

alright

Ah yes.

We're going for the secret ending I see.

lol something similar happened when my friend was updating his router I think

progress so far it's off the screen

[scarlet jackal]

Newbie question;

I have a 16gb 3600mhz stick and an 8gb 3200mhz stick.

At first I was thinking of just using the single 16gb stick, I know I can’t go wrong but if I downclock to 3200mhz and set to same clock speeds couldn’t I run dual channel with the 8gb stick, in terms getting more ram and better speeds?

[reef patrol]

Expect all manner of instability.

[analog sinew]

two different sized ram sticks is hell

[scarlet jackal]

That’s what I was assuming

[analog sinew]

idk if single channel could work

but dual channel hell naw

[scarlet jackal]

I mean

Single channel 16gb won’t be that bad

[analog sinew]

i meant single channel 24

[scarlet jackal]

Oh yeah

But might just be worth sticking to 16gb at that point

[analog sinew]

i doubt it works from what i read

[steady sail]

Just buy another stick of 16gb ram with the same specs

[scarlet jackal]

I’m just going off of what RAM I have at hands, if I’m buying more ram I’d just buy a kit I know I can’t rely on

[reef patrol]

Try and sell what you have, buy a 2x16 kit and stop worrying.

I tried to make two, 2x32kits work together for the better part of a year and ultimately gave up and went AM5

[scarlet jackal]

Hahahaha

[ashen spindle]

you can just pop it in and try, how well it works is just luck when you mix ram sticks

[steady sail]

Im still happy that i dont have issues with 4 sticks of ram

[ashen spindle]

I had 2x4 and 1x8 on my ddr3 board years ago

[scarlet jackal]

I mean this is for a 3rd PC to mostly play Valorant and Apex, I just don’t know how much the performance will change from single channel 16gb to dual channel 16gb/32gb

I genuinely don’t care about capacity aslong as I have 16gbs

Honestly I could pop in the 16gbs and call it a day

Also it’s on Intel

Cause I know ryzen is goofy

[steady sail]

I use 4 sticks on amd ryzen

[scarlet jackal]

Same on my second system

4x8gb

[steady sail]

Yep 4x8 at 3200

[scarlet jackal]

And I forget what’s in my main system but it’s ddr5 something 😆

AI shit strikes again.

[fair gull]

hmmm

#🎮│game message

[reef patrol]

Ah whoops. I guess it fits in either channel

[cursive summit]

I thought that was more game channel than tech

I am only aware of Itch.io doing indie game hosting and funding indie devs

[reef patrol]

Two angles I suppose. Effect on a game company, or "AI literally has been given the power to cancel domains with no human checks"

[halcyon moss]

what a shit company funko and iwantmyname

especially i want my name

[cursive summit]

Some people hate Funko, why?

I am only aware of them for polluting the world with shit figurines

[halcyon moss]

i find them the be fugly

[cursive summit]

Ah so they are not actually like.. anti-consumer?

Meh, I can live with that, there's a type of person that buys them

I'd buy anime figurines if I had the space for them

[rough patrol]

Funko are everything wrong with modern consumerist mindsets

[distant tapir]

Seen the Funko Pop game?

[bold coyote]

funkos

[final flame]

Funko's are ugly, I think that's their entire point for existing

[balmy vector]

Pretty much

[analog sinew]

i never understood them either yea

[final flame]

wanna know the funny thing, funko's are actively incentivized to be kept in their packaging
unlike many actual figures where it's the opposite, you want to display them properly

partially due to the way the plastic degrades by being kept in a environment without airflow

[reef patrol]

The main issue with Funko is that it went from a point of collecting a few, fun figures for your office, to becoming this craze to buy each one and keep them in box, like it's some sort of investment.

They also generally look way too similar, to the point of being lazy.

I have one - one. And only because it came with a cool mecha suit.

[final flame]

highest effort funko vs the cheapest anime figure

[analog sinew]

yeah they just look cheap and boring

a proper figurine at least looks high quality

tbh i miight get a capcom series MH statue one day

[reef patrol]

That's a fair point - Anime figures are so much more vibrant and detailed (often at the same prize)

[final flame]

I'd buy any goodsmile figure over a funko

[rough osprey]

do they sell some for 10-20€?

[final flame]

yea

in general there's a lot of affordable figures in the 20-50$ price range

[rough osprey]

ig also depends on who has the ip you want

[bold coyote]

the only funko i own is this one that I bought in the US. Thats simply cause the simplistic design of sanrio characters kinda work with the funko design, other than that I hate them haha

[magic minnow]

The amiibo wave, I had met this dude online who had a rental unit filled with them 2 of each

Get one of those noctua fan cooled GPUs

[pale sigil]

Raspberry Pis for a desktop environment experience is just stupid tbh

[reef patrol]

Limited supply, every manufacturer overpromised and shops didnt' receive anywhere near enough to fulfil preorders, so they were cancelled over and over.

I had my orders cancelled like 5-6 times, before I ultimately gave up. Bought an HP prebuilt and waterblocked their very barebones 3080. Then sold the prebuilt with my 2080.

[pale sigil]

I'm not mad how much I paid for my 3080

But it's something I'll never forget

Especially with the prices now....

[reef patrol]

I am - Because my original pre-order was a nice MSI at MSRP.

Suffice to say prices quickly went out of control once Proshop and co. admitted to taking too many orders knowingly and cancelling them at random.

[cursive summit]

Which 3080 model do you have though

[reef patrol]

Moi or P?

[cursive summit]

Yours, Mansen

The 10GB one or 20?

10 one is kinda.. already a bit old

[reef patrol]

20GB 3080? wut 😄

[cursive summit]

Yeah? There're two of them

[vagrant pagoda]

you can mod 3080s to have 20gb

[cursive summit]

There's also the official 20 version

[reef patrol]

I have the bare, reference 10GB from launch.

[vagrant pagoda]

nope

[cursive summit]

Ah it's called 3080Ti, I googled

[reef patrol]

[vagrant pagoda]

they where sample gpus that got sold

[analog sinew]

poor soul

[reef patrol]

It was what was available at the time- Thankfully PNY didn't lock it down or anything.

[vagrant pagoda]

3080ti is 12gb

[cursive summit]

No it's 20?

[vagrant pagoda]

nope

[vagrant pagoda]

there were sample cards that didnt get destoryed of 20gb 3080s

they found their way onto the second hand market in china

[cursive summit]

Ah so there's a 12 version as well

[ashen spindle]

Don’t trust techpowerup for hardware specs

[cursive summit]

What on earth is wrong with that generation

[vagrant pagoda]

then they used the bios to make more of them in china

but they are reworked 3080s

[ashen spindle]

They have some random listings in their database

[cursive summit]

The same with RTX 4060 having 8 and 16GB versions

[vagrant pagoda]

the 3080ti has a wider bus so no way to make it a 20gb

[cursive summit]

It's not random cause it actually exists

[vagrant pagoda]

if you put bigger chips it would be 24gb

[ashen spindle]

Yes but they also have actual random listings in there

[reef patrol]

Poor 3080 just have to keep on chugging till the 5000 series comes out.

[ashen spindle]

So don’t trust TPU tables to have accurate specs

[cursive summit]

How much would that even cost though

I've seen it done on YT and it seemed like an easy enough process

If you can just double your VRAM like that, why wouldn't you

[vagrant pagoda]

you need a ton of money in tools

and even more in skills

[ashen spindle]

And it can go wrong and kill the card and isn’t changing performance much

[vagrant pagoda]

it will be slower most of the time

as you cant clock the memory as fast

its why 3090 has rear vram

[fair gull]

na costs maybe 300eur in tools for a soldering iron and the IR heater

[vagrant pagoda]

you need the stenciles

a microscope

hot air

board heater

[fair gull]

no you can do all of this without any of those

[cursive summit]

It adds like 4-5 years of extra longevity though

[ashen spindle]

Nah

[vagrant pagoda]

LMAO you can solder bga gddr6 with a iron?

[cursive summit]

Very much yes

[fair gull]

no the IR heater

its also how you desolder them

[cursive summit]

That's what I've seen, someone just did it with a heatgun

It worked fine

[ashen spindle]

It adds the option to lower fps instead of having to tone down the quality setting in some specific very new games

[fair gull]

and for the whole reballing you can do that with the ir heater and hand placing solder balls as well

[vagrant pagoda]

radiant rework stations are like 2k+

the cheapo phone ones wont heat up a 3080 pcb

[cursive summit]

That's why I asked what's the barrier of entry on those GDDR6X modules, it's supposedly easy to do the mod

peeps on YT just did it with a heatgun

[fair gull]

i mean having seen and used some of the smaller 200-250eur ones from aliexpress myself yes they are

[vagrant pagoda]

you need a few KW of heat for a modern gpu pcb

[vagrant pagoda]

you reworked a modern gpu with one?

[fair gull]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007519742888.html

[vagrant pagoda]

you still need top heat

[fair gull]

i just linked the first. there is units with a top IR heater as well

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah and the cheap ones with a 400w top heater is going to roast chips

[fair gull]

and yet people repair gpus with those

and they come out working

no one says itll be childsplay

but you can 100% do vram replacements with just a soldering iron and somewhat cheap ir station

[vagrant pagoda]

you can do it with a toaster over, a heat gun and a iron too

been there dont that

ir station dosent make it magicly better

[fair gull]

it heats more directly

[vagrant pagoda]

i would take a high heat air gun over low heat ir

fast heating is key

[fair gull]

i mean you do you but ive prob broken more stuff with hot air stations than ir stations

[vagrant pagoda]

but back to the topic

the 20gb wont help

a 12gb 3080ti is faster than a 3080 20gb

[fair gull]

wasnt there also other cards in the 20series that had modders put on more vram which was borderline worth it and more of a show of possibilities

2080ti with 44gb or smth

[vagrant pagoda]

its been done for ages

modern gpus are rarely out of vram on highend

[cursive summit]

2080ti with 22 and I think the 2070 with 16 or something

[cursive summit]

16 is plenty enough, 8 though is not lol

With the pricing of the RTX 4060 you'd almost think it's a high end GPU

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah thats the issue on lower end

but then mid/low end cards around worth the cost to mod it

like i said cost of a 3080 vs 3080ti is less than the cost of the gddr6 modules to do the mod

[cursive summit]

You still get a 20GB 3080 vs 3080ti with 12

[vagrant pagoda]

ti will be overall faster in gaming

[cursive summit]

That's futureproofing, that's a 3080Ti struggling with Indiana Jones whereas a 3080 mod wouldn't

[vagrant pagoda]

fatter pipe > more vram

[cursive summit]

Well yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

doubt

[cursive summit]

But games seem to be becoming VRAM heavy so, that 8, 10 and 12 isn't cutting anymore

[vagrant pagoda]

idtech loves memory bandwidth

[fair gull]

downloadmorevram.com

[vagrant pagoda]

hence why the 3080 dose so well vs 6900xt

[cursive summit]

UW QHD 4080 is struggling already

[vagrant pagoda]

20% more bandwifth

lol thats with RT

[cursive summit]

Actually it's struggling on QHD

[vagrant pagoda]

3080s sucked at rt

[cursive summit]

AMD sucks at RT too

And that's their own proprietary implementation of RT, it comes enabled by default

[vagrant pagoda]

in non rt the 3080 is faster than a 6900xt

dispite the 10gbv16gb

mainkly due to the 3080 have 25% more memory bandwith

[cursive summit]

And how's it slower than the 6700XT

That's a VRAM limitation

And I imagine more are coming in the future

[cursive summit]

Source?

Ah, DSO

Those results don't seem right

If people actually hit near 60 FPS people would not be complaining

You are forced to reduce texture pool to not run out of VRAM, that's not actual supreme settings

Here's QHD with ultra textures, VRAM is out, need to reduce the settings https://youtu.be/hrx8HzP9gss?t=144

[vagrant pagoda]

pool is just how much vram to use

it dosent reduce the quailty

you just may have texture popin

which idtech is famous for

7 massively improved that by ditching megatextures

which is why it loves memory bandwidth

[bold coyote]

what aboout a 3060ti

[fair gull]

measured in seconds per frame

[vagrant pagoda]

good luck fam

[cursive summit]

That is technically not what the game itself says

[vagrant pagoda]

just get better gpu is simple

[cursive summit]

Lower res textures, lower quality

Prolly also popin

[vagrant pagoda]

its not more = better its more = less pop

[cursive summit]

That specifically says higher resolution, higher = more VRAM, higher res textures, 8/10GB GPUs are dying

[fair gull]

apparently around 80-100fps at 1080p low

[cursive summit]

Lower - pop in, lower res textures, looks worse, older GPUs can breathe

[bold coyote]

but I have the 3840

[vagrant pagoda]

thats not how idtech works

[cursive summit]

That's what it says

[fair gull]

thats not a gpu

[bold coyote]

yeah I know

[fair gull]

if thats the screenres you can just set the game to lower than your display res

[bold coyote]

talking about the monitor

[vagrant pagoda]

no thats how you are reading it

[bold coyote]

I dont have the game anyways haha

[cursive summit]

Also that's DF's recommendations

[vagrant pagoda]

idtech will also render full texture quailty if it streams in time

thats how it works

[cursive summit]

12GBs of VRAM literally CANNOT play at full settings at 4K, you need to pop the pool size down

[vagrant pagoda]

if you gave a 1050ti 30gb of vram it wouldnt render high restextures ever

as it couldnt stream them in time

just because the texture is on disk dosent mean it wont render in time if the gpu has enough grunt

and high memory bandwidth help a ton when you are swaping in and out of system memory

[cursive summit]

Your provided benchmark is bullshit though, those numbers are impossible with those settings

The german one actually fits what people that play the game are actually seeing with those settings

30FPS at best with those settings

Texture quality has to go down, and you'll get 60 or so when VRAM buffer is not full

[vagrant pagoda]

so youve tested it yourself with the same hardware?

[cursive summit]

I've seen plenty of people test it?

You I seriously doubt have tested it yourself

[vagrant pagoda]

i never said i did

[cursive summit]

Well then what's the argument

[vagrant pagoda]

but calling a benchmark bs without apples to apples is pointless

[cursive summit]

DF did it, german publications did it, invidual people did it

DSO goes against all of those benchmarks, I call cap

[vagrant pagoda]

you dont know where each of them tested

and you didnt watch DF

as the literally explained the texture pool setting exactaly as i did

[cursive summit]

I am reading neogaf right now lol

Texture Pool size does not affect the quality of textures all the time, but it does allow for a larger amount of textures to be cached, resulting in the highest quality textures always being present instead of the more aggressive streaming of lower setting.

So, pop in and worse textures until good ones load in

That sounds rather horrid

[vagrant pagoda]

they found no difference in high and supreme

but it has terrible popin with texture and models on everything

some guys trying to make metal gaming mousepad a thing again

[latent mural]

Book mousepads when

[cursive summit]

First off, why though. Secondly, why is that link just sounding like a sus pron one.

[gusty kiln]

cuz why not, this is like boutique/luxury product territory

[cursive summit]

You could just make a metal "shell" and incorporate magnets into a pad that just snaps into the shell

[gusty kiln]

and probably intentional

[cursive summit]

It's... partly metal I guess?

There's virtually no reason to make the actual sliding layer metal lol

[vagrant pagoda]

idk why but all the text on the page is pulsing

[gusty kiln]

lol not for me

metal would be a nice alternative to glass pads

especially those who fear the glass shattering

[vagrant pagoda]

idk why the first was at 30fps

[gusty kiln]

@vagrant pagoda oh yeah finally got my unraid server running

it's crazy to me that you could technically just move the USB and all the drive to another sysem and it'll just work

hopefully an easy transfer when I build a giga rack mount server in the future

you gotta redo netowkring but yeah

[cursive summit]

2 dudez and beatz

[latent mural]

would be ez to make yourself no?

I learned to work with metal through metal engineering courses

[gusty kiln]

anyone can just buy a sheet of metal, it's getting the right surface finish that is hard

[latent mural]

depends on the proccesses and how you like it, what type of metal etc

[gusty kiln]

that takes a lot of trial and error to make something that just won't wear out after a month

[latent mural]

I think doing the right hardening processes tho will be hard

without proper equpiment

[gusty kiln]

hardness doesn't matter because almost all metal will be harder than ptfe

maybe for the edges

so you don't get bumps and nicks just handling it

[latent mural]

Aluminium would be great I assume, cheap, and matches if custom keyboard with aluminium case

[gusty kiln]

nah aluminum deforms way too easily as sheet metal

[latent mural]

What thickness would people even want?

[gusty kiln]

I would want under 3mm

or even 2mm

superglide v2 is only 1.5mm

Lol OpenAI is finally launching Sora video generator and

https://vxtwitter.com/MKBHD/status/1866153153869095315/video/1

WHERE DID THAT PHONE GO

Man I love AI videos lol, they always just make no sense and I love it

But yeah I agree with MKBHD that the primary usage for these is "stock footage" https://vxtwitter.com/MKBHD/status/1866153637845606495/video/1

It's not good for anything that is really meant to deceive people due to hallucinations

But it's great for scenery footage, which are largely static and are just panning style shots

Not sure what the real audience is.. youtubers? Commercial makers?

[fair gull]

ah its i wanna endager people by driving way over the limit man

[cursive summit]

It indeed is, but I'm just focusing on subject matter

[analog sinew]

its still hallucinating but that is scary compared to the first AI video we had

it is evolving fast

[cursive summit]

It's evolving great, but I'm confused what the target audience is

At first people always said, "AI will never do anything beyond generating text garble"

Now it's replacing jobs of copywriters and software developers lol

Image gen is aiming at 2D and 3D graphics artists

But like with video generation, is the aim to make it create commercials out of a prompt?

What's the target audience, what's the target goal

[analog sinew]

cheap marketing stuff so the world can drown in even more ads

this is powerful

[cursive summit]

Ads was kinda what I thought but, you'd still need a video editor to actually edit in your product lol

[analog sinew]

suddendly every mom and pop shop can have ultrahd commercial video

[cursive summit]

Yeah but it doesn't really do it

[analog sinew]

they will come up with an ai for that too

idk where it is going

[cursive summit]

I guess?

[analog sinew]

but it is going somewhere

[cursive summit]

Yeah that's what I'm also feeling, I have no clue where it's going

Actually I think Google showed off a new video model that does insane quality movies out of a prompt

That was today or yesterday, it was incredible

You could clearly see what its inspirations were though, lol, you'd get sued easily

https://streamable.com/hxqzkz

Oh yeah it was Sora 2, they are launching Sora 1

I wonder what the training material was for the viking footage huh

[charred nexus]

bruh my dumbass forgot to update my debian server for like 5 months and i couldnt connet to my amp inst manager and wonder why

[stable sedge]

i spilled coffee on my 60he

its fine now cuz i reacted to it quickly

but now when i wiggle the wire it disconnects

what do i do

[digital cliff]

what does "react to it quickly" mean exactly

[analog sinew]

post a yt short

[lone plank]

Add anti-wiggle cream to the wire to straighten it out

[lone plank]

Took action to drink the coffee on the keyboard fast drinking keyboard coffee

[naive kindle]

whys its doing this and if i click shift + enter quicky, it freezes the keyboard and i have to unplug it then it starts doing all this, and for example if i click,U, it would click it like uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, unitil i clicked another key to stop it

[digital cliff]

turn off 8khz

[naive kindle]

how?

[digital cliff]

Ooh come on Jensen https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-accused-of-usd8-billion-tax-dodge-by-u-s-newspaper-his-remaining-family-would-be-the-beneficiaries-of-this-estate-tax-avoidance

I hope that's not the case

[analog sinew]

i hope it is

fuck the rich

[cursive summit]

I mean, no laws were broken, simply the rich getting richer

But come on, this is coming at a time where people are glorifying the assassination of a CEO

It's devolving into a class struggle lol

[analog sinew]

the world has always been a class struggle

they sometimes drop you a treat or distract you from it

[lone plank]

Just the way it is

[analog sinew]

back then it was the church

[cursive summit]

It shouldn't be that way though, if the system worked properly

[analog sinew]

nowadays racism is a good way

somehow americans believe they are all millionaires one day

and vote for the rich to get richer at their own loss

[cursive summit]

Imo the concept of wealth redistribution should properly devalue the rich and prop up the impoverished

So that everyone are at least somewhere on the spectrum of middle class, whether they are well off enough or just scraping by

Tbf how do you even value non-monetary wealth, that's the problem

If Jensen has 0 cash to his name and his wealth is just pure company shares, you can't ask him to sell his shares to pay wealth based taxes, that's doing more harm than good

It's a problem and it has no easy solutions

[lone plank]

😂😂 don’t get political on us

[unkempt lake]

At supreme settings i'm hovering around 15gb of vram used at 5120x1440

Thought you may find that interesting

Then again i'm fairly early in the game

[cursive summit]

Yeah that seems normal

16 is defo what should be sold as standard now

[ashen spindle]

yeah that isnt at all whats happening so he can pay the taxes like he should

[cursive summit]

I mean if his CEO salary, bonuses and cashing out stock is raking him in insane amount of billions, tax the fuck out of him

But not non-monetary wealth

[ashen spindle]

there is never a ceo that would not once get a shares payout he has to cash out or anything like that so there is always a very easy solution to just have them pay taxes

[cursive summit]

Idk if he actually has that many zeroes in his bank account that he needs to pay 8 billion in tax, tax him them

[ashen spindle]

read the fucking article you linked it says enough

why do you argue hypotheticals about something you link instead of just reading what it says lol

[dull dome]

between wooting 60he and wooting 80he the 8000 polling rate have a big difference?

[ashen spindle]

no get whatever form factor you prefer

[cursive summit]

It only mentioned shares being distributed to trust funds

[unkempt lake]

12 on xx60/x600 series
16 on xx70/x700 series
24 on xx80/x800 series

I think is how things should be

[ashen spindle]

yes they "gave funds to a trust" instead of selling them directly to get around the taxes

its that simple

[cursive summit]

That's a loophole yes, but still, are those shares intended to be sold?

[ashen spindle]

they are basically sold and the trust can pay their shit instead of them paying it directly

[dull dome]

i prefer the60he model

[ashen spindle]

then get the 60he

[cursive summit]

If they can prove wrongdoing then yeah Jensen is dodging tax

[dull dome]

ok, thx bro

[ashen spindle]

hes dodging taxes like everyone, if its legal these loopholes shouldnt be legal is the only difference

[dull dome]

the taxes in brazil are so abusive broo wth

[unkempt lake]

do you pay your taxes quin

[ashen spindle]

I got money back the last 3 tax seasons

but I'm also not quite a billionaire level yet

[unkempt lake]

Well you did say everyone

[lyric hatch]

*everyone who has lots of money

[ashen spindle]

I am dodging them as well, I am writing stuff off as far as the law allows of course
