Does this increase cooling performance? LappDumb

You may as well wait long enough for AMD to change the naming scheme again

rough patrol
#

Yeah thats a weird bug

#

Something weird happens when you plug in and its already at the limit you set

#

I have the same thing happen sometimes

spiral island
#

It does this every once in a while, but I don’t think it’s a bug or an accident.

#

At least I suspect that’s the case. I’m not a battery expert, I just play one on TV.

#

There it is

rough patrol
#

I tried the optimized charging for a bit but didnt work well for me cause my schedule is so erratic and my charging behavior makes no sense

#

So i just set a hard limit haha

spiral island
#

I’m pretty happy with the 80 limit’s results. Battery seems to be holding up better

steady sail
#

mine is just loosing power xd

balmy vector
rough patrol
#

This is with 80% limit from day 1 btw

spiral island
#

Dang

#

Day 1 for me too but wildly different results

rough patrol
#

Tbf i think i just use my phone way more than you

#

Almost 2x the amount of cycles

#

In less time

balmy vector
#

I use my phone so much I’d be scared to see the amount of cycles

#

Mainly since youtube watching in bed is just unbeatable

spiral island
#

I just keep it plugged in while I rot my brain to YouTube 😊

rough patrol
unkempt lake
#

How about

#

You use the phone then replace the battery when it goes down

#

And stop worrying

balmy vector
#

When i wake up

unkempt lake
#

A battery replacement isn't very expensive anyways

rough patrol
#

I always hav autoplay off

#

Hate that shit

balmy vector
#

Same

rough patrol
#

Also have it off for music and all

unkempt lake
#

Just... enjoy the darn phone

rough patrol
#

I want to choose what i watch/listen to

unkempt lake
#

Then when the battery is fucked

#

You replace it

balmy vector
#

Just fun to see

rough patrol
#

I‘d rather reduce the amount of waste i produce :)

balmy vector
#

Clean charging is a must of course

steady sail

#

imagine not having 99% of your electricity be clean

#

If any of yall are curiousp

#

14 pro i got in the last week of october

#

Didn't change my usage at all

#

My launch 14 pro was dropping 1% per month for the 2 years i had it

#

This one hasn't budged yet tho

#

And my usage hasn't changed

#

So idk

balmy vector
#

Ye i got a 14 pro that drops every few months

#

So when battery starts causing issues imma just replace and see what happens UmbreonSip

unkempt lake
#

Kinda cool tho that

#

Since there's no apple store near me

#

They were just kinda like

#

Here we'll charge your card for the price of a full phone

#

Send back yours when you get it

#

We remove the charge

#

So i basically got a whole new phone instead of just a battery

#

That's a W in my book

Does anyone happen to know if a modern consumer Nvidia GPU could initiate a DMA transfer to another one over the PCI-e bus without touching the CPU?

#

This feels like too niche of a question for the internet.

rough patrol

That is one of those questions that i am not sure anyone has asked before

Is 650w psu enough for a 2080 super and ryzen 7 5800x?

iron wave
#

No, CPUs haven't gone far enough.

#

Consumer CPUs have way too few PCI-e lanes and too few memory channels.

rough osprey
#

1 ssd best

iron wave
#

If I can get a 32 thread monster CPU I should be able to use 4 memory channels and a handful of PCI-e cards without having to think about it.

#

(My main computer has 3 lanes free by my math)

#

Yeah ECC support is an Intel thing and it's really stupid.

#

It won't be.

#

It'll probably have the same partial ECC that DDR5 has.

#

I just watched the new serial port video before this.

#

I like the idea of setting up a virtual phone exchange that you have to know how to phreak to call people with.

Hell yeah

digital cliff

#

i mean usa barely got any too

#

i'm curious what happens to my order, no news since

ashen spindle
digital cliff
#

...when it's in stock in 2 months though!

#

in the meantime you can buy our 600€ CPU that should be a 300€ CPU!

ashen spindle
#

Well yeah, they don’t get anything from you using their hardware other than the initial sale

digital cliff
#

...when it's in stock in 2 months!

ashen spindle
#

Also it’s been in stock for a while now

#

It had like 4 weeks after launch stock where it was on back order but you could buy it as a human for like an hour on launch

digital cliff
#

yeah I don't really care I just buy secondhand and not contribute to their bottom line at all, just laughing at all these crap launches in tech space every single year

ashen spindle
#

I mean it’s really not a crap launch

#

If you can meet demand with the first restock shortly after launch with such high demand that’s pretty good

digital cliff
#

out of stock right now with no restocking date known

old marlin
#

CNY is hindering production of the restock lol

analog sinew
#

darn

#

they gotta mine more gpus

ashen spindle
#

9800x3d has been in stock for like 3 weeks now and still is thonk

#

At multiple retailers even

ashen spindle
old marlin
#

Oh

#

Yea that is in stock lol

ashen spindle
#

Like it took nearly an entire hour before the release sold out

#

Then it was backorder and once that restock came in it’s been in stores

digital cliff
#

meanwhile there's 0 in finnyland

old marlin
#

Lol

digital cliff
#

jimms says can't provide estimate
multitronic is -18 units
datatronic is 0 units
verkkokauppa.com no estimate
rest of the sellers in finland are mom&pop shops not gonna check all of them

#

but basically every single large or decently-sized vendor is either "can't provide estimate" or just presells them anyway

old marlin
#

Kinda funny

#

Because jimms is part of europes biggest hardware retailer

ashen spindle
#

Yeah can’t do much if retailers are stupid but stock is there

analog sinew
digital cliff
#

I don't need one, I just find it ridiculous that while the 98x3d is out of stock in the entire finland, all these vendors have literally dozens and dozens of 78x3d listed for 500+€

#

just dead stock sitting on shelves because they won't slash the price to where it should be

#

guess they all bought pallets of them when they were going for 550 and still flying off the shelves

#

and now they can't sell them at the price they need to but also can't sell them for a loss lmao

reef patrol
#

Always a rough position to be in.

#

Act too soon, and prices might go up, wait too long and you may have to slash them even further.
It is definitely one of those harsh lessons learned as a procurer at any retailer.

Guess what, there is a German article describing how a German bot bought FEs half an hour before the official release from multiple countries with a leaked internal link. https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Geforce-RTX-5090-Grafikkarte-281029/News/Ausverkauf-vor-dem-Verkaufsstart-1464918/

PC Games Hardware

Die Geforce RTX 5090 FE und die Geforce RTX 5080 FE waren durch Bots bereits vor dem offiziellen Marktstart am 30. Januar um 15 Uhr restlos ausverkauft.

rough osprey
#

ye ik

#

😬

analog sinew
#

smol indi kompani cant launch a product

reef patrol
#

Leaked is a slight misnomer. They got into the API and found URLs.

analog sinew
#

theyre only a trillion dollars and this is their first launch

ashen spindle
#

3* Trillion

reef patrol
#

I hope all of those bot orders get cancelled.

#

And raffled randomly 😄

ashen spindle
#

Well it’s not a bot that ordered them

#

And proshop isn’t at fault for NVIDIA being unable to make a good website

#

So who do you punish more

reef patrol
#

Both.

analog sinew
#

its clear who ordered before release tho

rough osprey
#

how about we increase the price

analog sinew
#

those orders are not valid so cancel em

reef patrol
#

It remains true that the orders were all placed before the switch was flipped - Which means Proshop have an easy way to spot all of them and cancel each order, blacklist the payment option used and the addresses. And then shift stock in whatever manner they want to.

ashen spindle
#

So should proshop deal with fees because nvidia made their own website bad?

rough osprey
#

why would they care

analog sinew
analog sinew
ashen spindle
#

Because proshop had a deal with NVIDIA that you needed to enter via nvidias website to them

reef patrol
ashen spindle
#

Yeah nvidia does not care lol

#

So they won’t pay for it

analog sinew
#

read the article

#

other countries were bought out too

#

as it stands a good part of europe got their cards sucked up by this

#

nvidia might not care cus they are cunts

#

but they should

reef patrol
#

Nvidia fails to protect consumers, bots bought all stock because of shitty code and leaked urls

That'll be sure to help their stock prices 😄

rough osprey
#

oh the article got updated

digital cliff
reef patrol
#

What products? 😄

digital cliff
#

not like there's any morality or anything when it comes to capitalism, bottom line is they made their money, why care

#

customers can whine all they want, they'll still buy them from the scalpers

#

it's like the classic "boycott MW2 no dedicated servers" steam group with everyone playing MW2 lmao

old marlin
ashen spindle
#

Well if you have like 300 cards and ten thousand people who want to buy one, yeah scalpers will eat that for breakfast

old marlin
#

"you don't need one" is not an argument either

#

And quin needs to justify it because he also scalps if the opportunity is given

ashen spindle
#

No dogekek

old marlin

You did before

"man nvidia is greedy and sucks, they don't protecc us consumers"

-posted from my 5090

ashen spindle
#

I grabbed 3 Fe cards for friends at retail price and sold the one 3060 I had extra xD

#

Wouldn’t call that scalping

#

Im just not pretending I’d sell for free to randos when they willingly give double lol

digital cliff
#

yeah why would you honestly

#

I wouldn't sell a thing for 500€ if I could sell it for 1000€ no problem either, just so the next person can buy it from me for 500€ and re-list for 1000€ anyway dogenek

rough osprey
#

can someone scalp for me, i pay half of msrp

ashen spindle
#

Can’t deny I did try to get some more for selling but that was when NBB had the site set up so badly that you could just html inspect the page to skip the queue lol

rough osprey
#

the dumb thing about scalping a 5080 is the price being close to a 4090 which is a better card 😬

ashen spindle
#

And those cards stopped being made on like October xD

analog sinew
#

i never saw a 4090 under 1.7k

#

usually over 2k

ashen spindle
#

Yeah and some 5080 scalped prices get close to 1.6 lol

analog sinew
#

i mean yea they are not worth that

#

i really really hope alza pulls through for me 🙏

rough osprey
#

there is people selling them for 2k

analog sinew
#

if so i got an actually decent price

rough osprey
#

😭

analog sinew
#

to scalp it

#

jk

rough osprey
#

time to sell the box for 1k

#

maybe a bot buys it

analog sinew
#

haha if i get it i should

#

there are always people that dont have to care

There is a big German grocery store that also has an online store where you can buy all sorts of things. They still have 3x 5090 FE at 6500€ up for sale. I don’t know what the online store think, it’s just hilarious 😂

ashen spindle
#

I dont think they do?

zealous halo
#

Oh it’s a market place but still the seller is a commercial one

ashen spindle
#

that sounds like some people resell

only proshop had the FE cards

anyone can put listings there afaik

rough osprey
#

everything looks so scammy

#

wouldnt order there

rough patrol
#

you can buy samurai sauce there

#

in a giant tub

#

been thinking about it

rough osprey
#

i only trust Lidl

rough patrol
#

i know a guy that works on their UX haha

rough osprey
rough patrol
#

tho to be honest

#

80% of german online stores look scammy

#

and the least scammy ones you can order from are usually the ones that look the scammiest

fair gull
#

rebranding to scamazon might help

rough osprey
#

making a new open marketplace that people trust is very hard

fair gull
#

the issue is itll always be abused

#

you can only really do it like ebay where you dont try to be some retailer like reputable owners but just host a platform

rough osprey
#

atleast with amazon alot of stuff is sold by them directly

fair gull
#

and you can still get scammed lol

#

thats the funny part

rough osprey
#

didnt happen to me yet but ig so

#

with like fake or wrong products or in which way

fair gull
#

the issue is they dont store each sellers products separately

#

they use the ASIN to clump items together

#

and fakes can get into those bins despite those ASINs supposedly being seller bound

rough patrol
#

i'm honestly so fed up with amazon in general

#

i will go out of my way to pay more just so i dont have to use amazon

fair gull
#

but theres is entire multipage pdfs on how to fake ASIN and basically get fake products into those bins

rough osprey
#

oh damn

fair gull
#

so you ordering a product like sd cards or such could get a fake or a real one but a seller who stocked the fakes could end up sending real ones to customers as well

#

at the end all the packers and amazon system knows is they had the same ASIN thus the same place in the warehouses

rough osprey
#

atleast i would kinda trust them with resolving such an issue if you as the customer notice something is wrong

fair gull
#

yes but depending on their resolution it might end up back in the pile

rough osprey
#

:/

fair gull
#

so they could run out of real ones and the real brand could end up with X stock while the fake sellers end up with all their stock sold or most of it

#

(obviously not how it always works out but thats the goal of this scheme)

#

its basically laundering products

rough osprey
#

evil people >:(

#

send them to da moon with blue origin rockets

rough patrol
#

i think the solution is to stop using amazon and rely on third parties that dont suck and make the user experience hell to squeeze out every tiny bit of profit they can

#

amazon used to be so good for finding products and stuff, now its hell and unusable

fair gull
#

usually the safest is to rely on stores that buy from distributors as the distributors only get stock from well... the actual manufacturers

rough osprey
#

amazon is kinda one of the best user experiences from my experience

#

fast ship out, easy return and all

fair gull
#

yeah thats how they get you

#

same with paypal

rough osprey
#

galaxus is nice too

fair gull
#

the focus is on the consumer

#

businesses pay for that

#

either in fees or shitty experiences on their side

#

or both

rough patrol
#

i would drop immediately paypal if all the other services werent unusable garbage

#

only alternatives that work for me are those bank transfer ones and card obvs

fair gull
rough osprey
#

and has low fees for that

rough patrol
rough osprey
#

lol

#

no ty

rough patrol
#

anyone tells me to use f&f i immediately assume they are trying to scam

fair gull
#

they are most likely trying to

#

ive paid outside a marketplace twice

rough osprey
#

or people that wanna send via bank transfer and then show me a screenshot as proof

fair gull
#

once it went well was just a mom not getting it

rough osprey
#

so im supposed to ship out before i get the money

fair gull
#

second time i got scammed hard trusting the first experience going well

#

150eur down the sink

rough osprey
#

rip

rough patrol
#

but yeah i havent had good experiences with amazon and paypal so i try to avoid when i can

fair gull
#

i had good experiences in the past

rough patrol
#

browsing on amazon feels like i'm in hell tbh

fair gull
#

like years and years ago

rough patrol
#

like the shipping and returns experience is probably great but shopping there is something i cant bring myself to do

fair gull
#

but now i mainly use proshop.nl for example for buying electronics stuff

rough osprey
rough patrol
#

i'm kinda eyeing a return gpu on galaxus atm

fair gull
rough osprey
#

ye

rough patrol
#

cause it seems ok from a price perspective, tho it is more expensive than a used one

fair gull
#

but im not sure what to think about this one tbh cause of the subject of the controversy

rough patrol
#

not proshop fault imo tho they could have done some stuff to mitigate

rigid tinsel
#

amazon got so bad after it got popular. now its just dropshipping bs unless you know the exact product you want

fair gull
#

not their fault but i didnt like their reply where instead of cancelling the orders before 3pm they just said go ask nvidia

rigid tinsel
#

people be selling you aliexpress items with 200% markup

rough patrol
#

yeah idk i'd rather shop on ali than amazon now xdd

fair gull
#

some things i use ali for

#

but its only very small in scope

rough patrol
#

i mean obviously i wont be buying anything super expensive or anything

#

but if its like a switch plate or whatever it's probably fine

rigid tinsel
#

buying anything with a print on ali you already know its a bootleg

rough patrol
#

speaking of, i need to figure out where i can get an iso plate for 80he

#

noone seems to be selling em so i might have to get it custom cut pain

fair gull
#

i mainly shop for non soldering iron related rework stuff there

#

hot air stations, ir stations and what not

wild coyote
#

Give me some good headsets that's less than 200 and defo not razer branded

rough patrol
#

you asked for good headset

#

ofc it wont be razer

rigid tinsel
#

i bought keycaps and a strap on ali knowing im gonna get mid af quality but i didn't agree to pay 3-4 times the price for highest quality keycaps and straps were just not existing except for commissioned ones

I need moar suggestions

rough patrol
#

i am firmly a headphones+mic kinda guy

rough osprey
wild coyote
#

I do plan to get a mic regardless

Like a NT usb mini

fair gull
#

why a headset then

#

just get good headphones

rigid tinsel
#

i spent 75€ on g pro wireless but im kinda contemplating to get beginner tier audiophile headphones with a standing mic

rough patrol
#

if ur getting a mic anyway, get good headphones instead of a headset

wild coyote
#

I got IEM's, but they irritate my ears

rough patrol
#

you can get pretty decent headphones for 200 bucks

fair gull
#

iems arent headphones

rigid tinsel
wild coyote
#

I know

rough patrol
wild coyote
#

I just wanna have some sort of over hear headphones/headsets, with or without mic that works better than my Razer Kraken TE

do you care if its open back or not?

wild coyote

Ehh kinda

rough patrol

aka if someone else in the room could potentially head what you are doing or vice versa

rigid tinsel
#

have used wireless for 10 years..

rough patrol

i'm personally a fan of open back but if you dont like the idea of it then go for closed back

rough patrol

if you want wireless you get the maxwells i suppose

I do prefer only me to hear it, so ig closed 🤷

Tell me about it. I have to have 2 versions installed, and the new one dosent support my mic. Also both my mobo and mic like to randomly loose their RGB settings and go full RGB puke randomly, so I have to keep it installed to turn it off again.

I can turn it off in the bios but it doesn't stick

#

yeah and nvidia has benches that put the 4090 ahead of the xtx

vapid ruin
#

The footnote seems fairly okay, and it's not like they're running 70b with the 7900xtx having 48gb of vram.

ashen spindle
#

I mean simple to believe, if the bottleneck would be vram bandwidth the xtx is quite fast there

vapid ruin
#

That's nice. If it can do dual gpu interface while keeping the speed, can be a nice cheaper brand new alternatice compared to 4090/5090

#

6090 gotta have 48gb of vram

#

Yeah, just have the UE5 engine do 8k texture.

ashen spindle
#

honestly 60 series might, depending on when it releases relative to consoles

vapid ruin
#

Sony could include like 32gb of fast ram for PS6, that'll be nice.

#

making it also a local llm machine for sale is even nicer.

ashen spindle
#

yeah even if xbox will have a decent console it wont move the needle on what people will do on pc lol

#

sony is so clearly ahead, if they dont entirely mess this up

vapid ruin
#

Yeh, they just gotta have more game to compete against Nintendo

ashen spindle
#

ehh dont think they compete in the same price segment

vapid ruin
#

Fuwee, but also nice

ashen spindle
#

maybe if they go with some PSvita thing again

vapid ruin
#

I guess Nintendo is facing against mobile game then

ashen spindle
#

but the ps6 wont care about switch 2

#

I mean that was super low effort and did okay for them

#

so im just saying they could make something in that area

supposedly around 2 million sales

IT WAS SO STUPID

#

but then again i paid like 100cad for a 32gb memory card back then

#

nowdays you can just sd2vita

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah it did

#

The web browser

#

I got free sim is why lol

unkempt lake
vagrant pagoda
#

I paid like 50 bucks more and the sim/data was free for me at the time

unkempt lake
#

Or havent been paying attention to that

#

Mostly ran some emus on my vita

vagrant pagoda
#

GTA sa, bunch of FF games

unkempt lake
#

Gta sa i can play on a trillion of other devices

#

FF's been ported to a trillion of devices as well

#

I'll say most of the emulation i did on vita was well running psp games in adrenaline

#

And nowadays i just run ppsspp on my phone

fair gull
# unkempt lake 3ds better

yesnt and noent. the vita is good for anything non nintendo. 3ds is the nintendo beast for its gen and before

unkempt lake
#

I love my pikachu new 3ds

fair gull
#

i wish ppsspp could emukate disk read times. cant play the one game i want cause of its copy protection

i'm turning my phone into a psp go

vagrant pagoda
#

That's a worse layout though

unkempt lake
vagrant pagoda
#

Long ass bar is better then tall

#

Tall kills your wrists, especially if your in car/bus

unkempt lake
#

Lucky you

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah it's called the bus

unkempt lake
#

Woah

#

public transport?

#

that's too fancy for my part of the world

vagrant pagoda
#

I only use it when I travel

#

We only get one train a day and no busses here

unkempt lake
#

TRAINS?

vagrant pagoda
#

Train

unkempt lake
#

THAT TRANSPORT PEOPLE?

#

WOAH

vagrant pagoda
#

And it's amtrak so it barely counts

#

Could be on time, could be 4 hours late

unkempt lake
#

You at least have one

vagrant pagoda
#

It's all we got

unkempt lake
#

I have industrial trains only

vagrant pagoda
#

Don't even have Uber or lyft

#

Some Jim bob advertising rides on Facebook marketplace

unkempt lake
#

We have a taxi service for the elderly

vagrant pagoda
#

Fancy

unkempt lake
#

i guess

#

Its pretty even then

#

The train did seem cooler

vagrant pagoda
#

You ever used Amtrak?

unkempt lake
#

I've never used a train

#

At all

vagrant pagoda
#

Lucky

#

So the closest airport is about 2-hour drive away

#

It's a major international airport

#

If you want to take the train to it there's one train a day and it takes 3 hours to get to the city and then doesn't connect to public transport it takes you to the airport

unkempt lake
#

I could grab onto a train from the factory and hitch a ride

vagrant pagoda
#

So you have about 2 minutes on arrival to catch another train South that only goes every hour

unkempt lake
#

But then i'd end up like the idiots who get their legs cut

vagrant pagoda
#

And then get on a bus to the airport

halcyon moss
#

I used amtrak once to go to NYC from boston

vagrant pagoda
halcyon moss
#

Yeah it was a good train ride. Not ice fine, but good

vagrant pagoda
#

Sad thing is I think Amtrak's the largest train service in the world

halcyon moss
#

In what way?

vagrant pagoda
#

Size of the network

halcyon moss
#

Like km of rail?

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah

halcyon moss
#

Sounds easily verifiable

vagrant pagoda
#

China would be the only thing close

halcyon moss
#

21000miles

sharp badger
#

According to this it's first

halcyon moss
#

DB has 33000km

vagrant pagoda
#

That's total freight and passenger

halcyon moss
#

Then why is it so shit

unkempt lake
#

trains are technology

vagrant pagoda
halcyon moss
#

No idea

#

Don't care enough :p

What about actual metrics that count. Ppl moved

vagrant pagoda
#

Then China is king by about every one else combined

#

China moves like 30 billion riders a year

#

Can you get better latency connecting wirelessly from windows to a tablet?

sharp badger
#

Just using the built in wireless option that windows have makes the connection choppy on the tablet

#

It also seems to limit it to 60Hz & no option for 120Hz

#

Connecting PC -> S9+

#

Yeah it's fine but might just use a cable instead

#

Welp locked to this

halcyon moss
#

Try it anyway

sharp badger
#

Yeah for sure

halcyon moss
#

Your usbc port has miles more bandwidth than wifi

sharp badger
#

It works fine as a discord monitor but would like to have it less choppy

#

I've got the S9+ so thought i'd just use it as a secondary monitor with touch input if i'd so like or the pen for whatever

halcyon moss
#

S9 is a old phone by now

sharp badger
#

The tablet, yes naming is stupid

halcyon moss
#

Ah

Had it as a F1 monitor for multiviewer last season and it was fine for it, sitting in the sofa just checking other different views or statistics

I’ve set bios settings to default settings but that’s all I changed

I had to do it recently

drove me insane

#

eventually I just like safe booted by fucking boot

sharp badger
#

Yeah it's like the steps mentioned but one's forcing it instead of Windows doing it

lyric hatch
#

it's a fast boot thing

#

if you disable it you can get around that

sharp badger
#

Yeah read that too

lyric hatch
#

interesting results

spiral island
#

Oh getting into safe mode nowadays requires speaking backwards in a dark incantation. I miss the days when it was as easy as start -> shutdown -> reboot in safe mode 😣

lyric hatch
#

if you turn off fast boot it's exactly like the old way still

spiral island
#

Oh really? I wonder how valuable that is to me anyway 🤔

#

I had no idea, thanks 🙂

lyric hatch
#

saves about ~5 seconds on boot

loud hemlock
#

fast boot is evil particularly if you dualboot

spiral island
#

Sure but I only reboot like once a month when I do a driver update or something is getting wonky 🤷

lyric hatch
#

yeah I've turned mine off

#

I was just yesterday lamenting the fact that I apparently formatted my games drive as NTFS. Been strongly considering setting up another boot drive for linux (again).

I suppose I could and maybe should move everything to my NAS temporarily while it gets formatted/repartitioned

Do u guys know what the issue prob is tho?

spiral island
#

Eh, save some data transmission. Yeah it's just game data, nothing irreplaceable, just takes time.

spiral island
vagrant pagoda
spiral island
#

Not sure what your issue is. You did a bios reset to factory settings and that's what led to this?

#

Maybe the boot device is incorrect now, though I'd expect it to say something about that if that were the case

Overclocked, or overheated?

You could switch to the iGPU then to bypass your discrete card and see if that's the issue

If I broke something 😭

Blasting air on fans can over rev them. It can also back emf the fan driver

#

I would start with removing the riser

spiral island
#

Yeah don't do that T_T

#

hold 'em still

vagrant pagoda
#

And replugging all the power

analog sinew
#

also arent most bearings magnetically levitating?+

spiral island
#

and blast 'em

analog sinew
#

so if they spin unpowered they arent working as designed

graceful wedge
vagrant pagoda
vagrant pagoda
analog sinew
#

hm

vagrant pagoda
#

And it's just a name for fancy sleeve

analog sinew
#

i wonder how fast you have to spin em to power the entire pc that way lol

spiral island
vagrant pagoda
#

That can't happen lol

#

Fans are 12v

#

It wouldn't backfeed the 3.3v rail

analog sinew
#

well considering the fans take like 0.2-0.4 watts or something..,. very fast

vagrant pagoda
#

Also 3.3 was never core voltage supply

spiral island
#

Really going off on a tangent 😄

analog sinew
vagrant pagoda
#

It would blow up the fan speed driver mosfet

spiral island
#

mosfet or jfet? (callback!)

vagrant pagoda
#

If the 12v was in the main 12v rail with no protection the load on the rail would keep it down

#

There are more than enough caps and bleed resistors to keep a fan from damaging anything on the 12v rail.

#

But you can blow the driver out and then the fan won't spin full speed.

#

Yeah most fans have them built in

analog sinew
#

electrostatic damage sounds more likely then :D

vagrant pagoda
#

It would have ripped the blades off the fan and damaged the fins on the cooler first

spiral island
#

Now I wanna test this with a junker pc

#

and a serious air compressor

or a jet engine

'garbage software

ashen spindle

?

vagrant pagoda
#

The Nvidia app

ashen spindle
#

but since they made it not a 1990s software its actually useable and has features

vagrant pagoda
#

Aka GeForce experience

#

It does nothing of value

pale sigil
#

experience was better

ashen spindle
#

you dont need a login anymore

pale sigil
#

nothing was working properly for me on the new one

#

replay was none existent

ashen spindle
#

replay finally has av1 and more options with it

pale sigil
#

it was just not working at all for me

#

its like it did not exist

#

and the overlay is awful

ashen spindle
#

as if the previous overlay was better xD

reef patrol
vagrant pagoda
#

Replay can be done with oba though

pale sigil
#

obs poop for replay

vagrant pagoda
#

How

vagrant pagoda
#

It literally dose the same thing as shadowplay

#

Just doesn't have the overlay

#

Plus obs can do it in ram

#

So it isn't wearing out your ssd

pale sigil
vagrant pagoda
#

So you can't use the app correctly so it's worse?

#

It's easy to setup

ashen spindle
#

yeah this sounds more like "its different so I dont like it"

pale sigil
#

it also doesnpt automatically orginized based off the game

vagrant pagoda
#

I mean I'd rather have it by time than by game

#

But that's preference

pale sigil

you can have both tho

vagrant pagoda

And it's an option you can change

graceful wedge
rough patrol
#

sounds like something is interfering with one of the fans

#

doesnt even have to be gpu fan could be a case fan for all we know haha

graceful wedge
#

Cable?

rough patrol
#

possible

graceful wedge
#

I don’t even wanna turn it on because it sounds so bad

rough patrol
#

take the gpu out and try again n see if you still get that sound

graceful wedge
#

Alr

rough patrol
#

its probably the gpu but i wanna make sure

graceful wedge
#

Me and my brother took it out the first time to put it back in

#

It’s prob that

rough patrol
#

ive had case fans with cables pushed against the blades before so i want to rule that out at least

graceful wedge
#

I need to get a spare since it’s so hard to pull out

steady sail
rough patrol

thats a displayport cable

you need to push on the tab to pull it out

it has these teeth

if you just yank at it you'll fuck it up

graceful wedge

yeah idk how you managed that

graceful wedge
#

And the shell broke off

rough patrol
#

but you can still see 2 lil tabs on the metal

graceful wedge
#

Yea

iron wave
#

Yeah that's Display Port.

rough patrol
#

you can probably move those to unplug it

graceful wedge
#

Thx guys

iron wave
#

Huh, the Discord image editor doesn't exist in their weird version of Chrome?

graceful wedge
rough patrol
#

yeah dont do that pls unplug it properly

graceful wedge
graceful wedge
rough patrol
#

get a new cable or stop continuously unplugging and replugging it

#

you'll fuck up the port on your gpu and the cable

its probably fine if you do it a few times but i wouldnt recommend it is all

just make sure it meets whatever spec you are looking for tbh

is there a list of those?

there's quite a few, not all of them have the same support for switches though

halcyon moss
#

And then there is the firmware

whole axle
#

1000 watt psu should be fine right?

#

9800x3d and 5070ti/5080/4090

#

Or like 7900xtx/9070xt

fair gull
#

1000w is prob overkill

#

most id say is prob 850

sharp badger
#

850W could be enough according to the cards

#

But 1000W is usually not that much more expensive so would just choose that and have some headroom

whole axle
#

Yeah it’s $20 more for the 1000w

#

And is 1500w needed for future proofing?

fair gull
#

unless gpus and cpus somehow gain over 150w in the next few years no

#

unless you plan to multi gpu then yes

sharp badger
#

Wish i had a better 1000W than the Rog though with the layout

whole axle
balmy vector
#

Itll last CatThumbsUp

whole axle
#

Kk

fair gull
#

yeah itll last

sharp badger
#

Yeah will upgrade to an ATX 3 in the next build

whole axle
#

Then motherboards. If I want it to also last that long. Should I pay the extra $30-$50 for the x870 boards?

fair gull
#

im almost certain all chipsets in am5 get support for the cpus

whole axle
#

So b650 will work for that long

sharp badger
#

Yeah

whole axle
#

Kk

fair gull
#

if you dont need any pcie 5.0 yes

sharp badger
#

If we're looking at the AM4 platform

balmy vector
#

glorpmeeting this is chat when discussing pc hardware

sharp badger
#

The gains with PCIe 5.0 isn't that much as of now though

fair gull
#

b650 is am5 not 4

sharp badger
#

Yeah meant with socket support

balmy vector
#

I’m hopeful to see the future of am5 these next few years if they keep the pace of 9000 series

fair gull
#

could also always go with b650e to get pcie 5.0

sharp badger
#

Yup

balmy vector
#

Yeah thats what i did personally

whole axle
fair gull
#

they dont loose perf from pcie 4

#

1-2 % which is considered margin of error in measurements

balmy vector
whole axle
#

Ah gotcha

#

Is asus b650e good?

fair gull
#

they all the same basically. the main difference will be ports

balmy vector
#

i have their b650e-e, been doing me well

fair gull
#

just check it has the IO you need on the back and internally

whole axle
#

Some brands perform better no?

#

At least I heard that for the new gen cpu

fair gull
#

not that ive heard

balmy vector
#

Doubt it

fair gull
#

i mean they all use the same chipsets

#

lol

sharp badger
#

With the ram ''training'' or what it's called

#

Wasn't the Asrock faster?

fair gull
#

i mean given that i sometimes wait no time and sometimes a minute or 2

balmy vector
#

Memory context restore?

fair gull
#

thats already varying in 1 mobo

whole axle
#

Idk I just heard that MSI was the best for 7000 series so didn’t know if that was a thing

fair gull
#

with the context restore

balmy vector
#

Interesting 🧐

fair gull
#

i just bought the cheapest asrock x670e and it works the same as any other mobo

#

benches come out to the exact same

#

(within the 1-2% margin of error)

whole axle
#

Gotcha

#

So just get the brand I like the most?

#

lol

fair gull
#

basically

#

or try to get the same as gpu

balmy vector
#

They all can handle jeff from marvel rivals thankfully

fair gull
#

if you wanna use their rgb tools

whole axle
#

Ok I’ll get asus. I’m most likely gonna get their oled

fair gull
#

maybe if you go into overclocking a lot then mobos differ sure

sharp badger
fair gull
#

but most people are prob fine with the default bios options to gain some perf

whole axle
#

Yeah I’ll go asus

sharp badger
#

Not that expensive

whole axle
#

Their GPU this year is crazy overpriced tho no?

balmy vector
#

The astral one

whole axle
#

Yeah

fair gull
sharp badger
fair gull
#

lol

balmy vector
#

Which is their new ultra high tier over engineered

fair gull
#

oh wait its 870

whole axle
#

And it gets like what 4 more fps in tests?

#

💀

fair gull
#

saw a GN review

whole axle
#

Ye ^

balmy vector
#

Yeah its pretty middling

whole axle
#

Looks cool tho

fair gull
#

not gn someone reviewed it

whole axle
#

I think personally the FE looks the best this year

fair gull
whole axle
#

I might be the only one with that opinion tho lol

fair gull
#

given the cooler is prob the same design for the 90 itll have similar issues

balmy vector
#

Fe is definitely a step up this gen with the smaller slot design

whole axle
#

For the 5070/ti how hard you think to get one at msrp?

fair gull
#

yes

whole axle
#

Or should I just try for a used 4090 lol

#

4080 super

#

Idk

sharp badger
#

If you can find a 4090 for decent price, sure

fair gull
#

depends on the game

whole axle
#

I still can’t decide on a gpu for the life of me

fair gull
#

but a 4090 for a good price used will prob be more than enough

whole axle
#

I legit play Val, CS, Wukong, cp77, and souls like

#

That’s it

fair gull
#

get a 40series

#

unless you play 8k

#

and need the framegen power of 50series

balmy vector
#

Yeah 40 would be perfectly good

whole axle
#

I’m planning on getting the oled 480hz

#

Or I guess the 500hz coming

fair gull
#

i mean youll mainly be cpu bound in val and cs if you play at 1080p for example

#

or even towards 1440p

whole axle
#

Even with the high semester?

#

Framerate

lyric hatch
#

where we getting 4090s for good prices at the moment asking for a friend

balmy vector
#

Val and cs just love cpus

fair gull
whole axle
#

Bottleneck only happens based on resolution?

fair gull
#

its the reason why for most high end gpus they arent in benchmarks

#

the numbers dont change much

#

mainly a cpu limit

whole axle
#

Ah ok

#

I thought that framerate had to do with it too

fair gull
whole axle
#

Gotcha

fair gull
#

if you play them at 4k youre less likely to be cpu bound

#

ofc you first tank tons of fps

balmy vector
#

gets 4090
plays kingdom hearts 2

#

Peak gaming

fair gull
#

na i play KH1

#

and minesweeper

balmy vector
#

Minesweeper cant be beat

fair gull
#

but yeah 4090 will prob be the best you can do rn unless you can wait for 5080 cards to be back in

#

perf isnt too different but you get the upsides of 50series

whole axle
#

So another question. For oled 500hz I need dp2.1 right?

analog sinew
#

yea if you can find a 4090 with fair price

lyric hatch
#

damn, might be looking a while to snipe a deal on one of these

Alt tab I think

lyric hatch
balmy vector
#

Not really

whole axle
#

And makes it look worse

#

Interesting

balmy vector
#

I use it perfectly fine with 240hz 1440p

fair gull
#

not at all

balmy vector
#

No issues, no quality loss, its designed for that

fair gull
#

i use it on 240hz 5120x1440 sometimes

#

but yes 500hz isnt an hdmi thing

#

DP 2.1 (and up) only

whole axle
#

I just thought that dsc on 480+ caused problems

#

Gotcha

#

Interesting that companies aren’t just putting dp2.1 in it anyway tho. Weird to me.

fair gull
#

cause no gpu had 2.1

whole axle
#

Well msi is the only one doing the 500hz with 2.1

#

That’s why I asked

#

Didn’t know if I had to get msi bc of that

lyric hatch
#

this just makes me think I should have bought a 4090 2 years ago dogekek

My friend got his 7900xtx second hand for €600
