I just wish LG would make something normal
I prefer WOLED to QD-OLED but they just want to make stupid bendable shit
It's not full 80 Gbps DP2.1 but otherwise seems great
Should still be enough for 1440p 480Hz without DSC though
Yeah
Damn yall doing full system upgrades I usually swap my gpu mid way through before the full upgrade
This looks sick
sold it and got 7800x3d when it released
2500K/HD6950
6600K/1060
5600X/6900XT
7800X3D/6900XT
just casually been making 5+ year entire system upgrades except now with the AM5 up to 7800x3d
was it just underwhelming or did it give you actual trouble?
Nah no trouble
Just wanted to switch to AM5 for the longevity and gaming performance
AM5 is goated ngl
no it's garbage actually, I've never had more issues -- whether it's because AssUs mobo is trash or because DDR5 is finicky but in general I've not enjoyed one second on AM5 whereas on AM4 everything just worked all the time without me having to touch anything
with memory training and having to set particular UEFI options to even get to UEFI on dGPU, I spent like 3-4 hours after my build just troubleshooting
Windows was hurting performance too lol
Windows
to get EXPO on too, just so finicky
Yeah I've had some issues with memory forsure
luckily I found the golden settings and now I'm really careful not to touch anything haha
me only having DOCP 
I avoided the exploding cpus when they launched tho

exploding cpus and melting gpus, crazy times
Freezing gpus next
My AM5 experience has been insanely good so far
I went
3570k/660 ti - 970
9700k/5700 XT(returned) - 3060 ti
Is that how long it takes to boot
those are pretty massive upgrades as well
I'm patient (broke) 
I believe that to be a virtue 
meanwhile I'm seriously trying to get a 5090 since I just saw I could sell my 4090 for more than I bought it due to low supply of everything atm lmfao
I mean yeah but also no supply and they did stop making 4090s in like september so thats only been old stock since then
have to buy it when they can't have it
so if someone just now has money to upgrade they dont have any options
no, it's how long it takes to do memory training for my sticks with the 9800X3D and X870-I STRIX board I own
a sane person waits
boot usually takes 10-15s
a sane person recognizes the current market rips them off and most likely their life isn't dependent on their PC's gaming power so they can probably wait until prices are back to something sane
but I guess there's enough people with more money than sense buying a year old product for more than it sold for when it was new
I have 35-36 seconds of BIOS time according to Windows 11 but otherwise AM5 has been really good for me
7800X3D is an absolutely monster CPU that just runs any game I throw at it
Bottlenecked in many games by only having a 120 Hz OLED
time to do more hunttrains and you arent limited by the screen anymore 
literally me lol
I was like wait I can get exactly what I paid for my 4090
I can do that when I get home
yeah but I'm glad I didnt get one first batch with all these issues they all have lmao
Maybe next gen price to performance will improve 
instead of Multi Frame Gen
we'll have Quantum Frame Gen
I gotta wait for jensen to tell me it's safe to upgrade again
6060 with 5090 performance
With DLSS5
*10 billion times frame generation
Infiniframe
now with more vaseline
how do a 1440p 144Hz can actually refresh at 285Hz max when i downgrade the resolution to 1080p?
i'm kinda wondering why
have u checked for frame skipping?
whats the monitor name
what
it does not
i tried with 960fps slowmo
uperfect 2k 144Hz
i'm clue less, last time i overclocked a 1080p monitor from 60 to 109 and i thought it was good and fair since it was already lower than the actual max since it could allow for less tearing
nice
they have a 1080p 240hz is it maybe the same panel
could be the panel can do 240 but the controller cant unless you lower resolution
would be weird the amount of pixel is still higher than 1080 and it;s clear when putting 1080p on it since it become blurry as usual on a 2k monitor
no I'm saying they might be using the same panel on the 1080p240hz model just doing nearest neighbor scaling and acting like a 1080p screen
id be real careful, often you are frame skipping galore on those monitors
like uperfect in a whole?
any monitor running decently high pixel rates
got it
i rewatched the slow mo vid frame by frame, and i can see one skip every 3 to 5 frames (i can't be sure it's the monitor as my pc is laggy as hell)
it's what i did
wrong link
here
It does skip some
"some"
xD
it's clearer
so it skips, but like why then it does not glitch out like other monitor going above their refresh speed?
you are getting near perfect 144hz
bruh
it'seems more like 160Hz
240/5*3
240(10/15)
you sure? first row looks blank to me
perfect 144Hz
yup
i got it
sad
i could try some lower refresh rate to see if it stills does frame skip
usually laptop screens are the most directly hooked up to the gpu
i mean gpu generally, igpu still counts
on monitor theres the monitor controller (scaler) inside in the way
finally started playing around with good lock on my phone
some nice customization options
what phone
on my s21 currently but getting an s25 ultra soon
Nice how you liking it?
yeah good, the shape and flat screen is so much nicer
feels way better in the hand
and the curved glass always felt cheap to me
Yeah plus it's easier to replace a flat screen (and usually cheaper too)
Yeah I'm excited should be a nice upgrade from my base s21
The trade in deals are pretty crazy
i dont think we get crazy trade in deals here in aus like everywhere else
i just pay an extra $15 a month and swap phones every 12 months
Yeah my trade ins aren't great in NZ but I've stacked coupons to get the price down to $900 USD after taxes and for the 512gb model
if i want to, i could just go between the fold and the flagship every 6 months as they release
i just dont because i need quadlock case support
yeah
rip
i also use it in my car
and on push bike (for the rare occasion i ride one)
You'll notice it's quite a bit faster 🙂
(I came from s21u)
ive never noticed phone speed (since my iphone) but masybe thats because of how i use it
No that's because you upgrade every year, then there is no 4 year difference
no i mean, ive never had my phone feel slow
but my iphone felt like dogshit, hence why i swapped over
Biggest change is oneui7. Gotta change some settings to have it be more like it was before
Like the right corner swipe for settings.. I changed it back to the extra swipe in notifications
me too
Lowered animationspeed..
yeah, i set mine to 0.5x, changed to extra swipe, increased to qhd
changed some camera settings
Yeah much bigger screen is going to be an adjustment too
And I might actually have to use a case with this phone
Just not sure which one
I got the spigen Ultra Hybrid S (MagFit)
So far so good
dbrand ghost case or whatever it is looks good
I like the spigen cases but not a fan of the camera cut out
yeah their camera cutout is wack
It's just a hole?
its like two individual holes
one for the 3 cameras on the left, and one for the other camera + ir and flash
lifetime guarantee itll never yellow
Yeah would prefer cutouts for each camera
either individual cutouts or one big one for me
quadlock has one big cutout, it looks tasteful
I like the pitaka one
part of me wants a clear case, but dont really have that option
The first ghost case was a meme
And the QA is bad
On dbrand stuff
Same case i use
but well iphone 14 pro version
They're super cheap too so...
ye but they replaced all the v1 with v2 free of charge
After how many months of waiting?
not sure, didnt have one
I had this one for my S24U
The pin button one and it was nice
Gave it to my friend after I came back to ios

The magbak elite is my favorite current case on my iPhone though
It's ugly but that pinky rest at the bottom is a god send
pinky rest??
Very cool
I won't be able to use it the first day because I have no way to connect it to my monitor 
get the cables you need now?
most prebuilt should come with cables too
I have ordered it but it won't be here until after I have the PC
It's not a prebuilt + the cable I needed was a hdmi male to displayport female which was surprisingly hard to find even online
Why do you need such a weird cable
but you are getting it built? or do you mean the parts come
The parts
pc building time!
Motherboard only has HDMI for video. My adapter uses displayport
id still hit up a computer store or something for the cable just to use it right away. then just swap it out when what you get arrives
No physical store has the cable
using the igpu to drive a monitor?
Yes
What the fuck are you cooking
wild
Do hdmi and dp even use the same protocol/have the same # of pins etc?
well worst case it needs a converter chip
Yeah i dont think itll be a simple thing
The converter is an active one that needs USB power
Are you running a crt off that?
None of this is ideal but as long as it works shortterm until I get a GPU I'll be happy
Yes
I wish the motherboard had DP out that would save me the hassle
I'm able to find millions of them online
Not in my country I had a hard time finding even a single one

The Reevo hubless bicycle is absolutely insane, but what is going on inside it? We took it to a bike shop and took it apart to find out!

Seems like a definitive case of reinventing the wheel, and why you shouldn't do it.
yep xd
without the motor running to provide assistance, pedalling is really really hard on this
this opengl shit will get me in the grave i swear
i want to specifically use opengl es2
for max compat
android opengl es3 is already iffy and vulkan even more so
but im so confused rn
declare attribute in vertex shader
get attribute position in array
always reads a s -1
WHY DOES IT WORK AS A VEC2 BUT NOT FLOAT
what is this black magic
was 2 float attribs before and it never worked for size
combine into vec2 makes it magically work
or not it broke after a few compiles
what the crap is going on
na the debug build is without any optimizations
just hardcoding the positions works
wonder if its some bug or issue with the function to retrieve the location
getting there
why
thats how the og looks
its the exact mesh and vert colors etc
screenshot so you can see it maybe better
lemme switch emulated devices so i can show you the original
"almost"
now only comes the random movement, lifetime logic, compute touch and drag

Odd he didn't reuse the stock tension plate for the core
Refusing the backplate but not the weight spreader is odd
I don't have a Live Wallpaper section
Insane temp drops
i think it's just the GIF compression
Idle temps? Still quite cool.
All air after a bad experience w/ water 😢
yeah
I've used AIOs since about 2018, never had one fail me yet
never had a leak or a pump die or anything
I tried one for the first time around then, maybe a bit before, and the pump died just days outside of warranty. Probably just bad luck, but once burned twice shy.
Oh for sure AIO is beautiful and usually cooler
Fortunately case shame basements and backside sections allow me to hide most of my cabling misdeeds
Did you see the new hydro shift?
Yeah I kinda want one
Cooler Master is bringing back the V8 Style CPU Coolers!
#CES2025 #coolermaster #cpucooler #thinkcomputers #tech
these are sick tho
I’d love to see one without the lcd
noctua is always top tier
The only change I would like to make but can't really justify is switching to a Torrent case to get the top closed off, which would let me get rid of those top fans.
not ugly
Love the compact style of the build
No space wasted
Everyone's got their aesthetic. I just could not care less about how the inside looks as long as it's got good places for the air to move.
I have my box strapped to the underside of my desk with the window facing away from me 😄
I find bright computer nauseating in dark rooms
When the room is 90% lit up by neon fans it makes me feel ill
That and I don’t like corsairs LEDs so I pick on them specifically
When I used to share my bedroom with my PC it was just the worst. Now I just find it distasteful.
Need better diffusion
Don’t like seeing every single individual LED
Ugly
Yep, that’s my rant, lol
Would be fun to set this up on my PC. Someday.
good taste
Are your top fans set to intake? Based choice on Torrent though, older case but does well on performance, that's what I'm using.
seems that way
i dont think its a toreent
that has top mount psu
this is a meshify or sth?
zero rgb
Nah I know that's not a torrent lol
Yeah they're pulling in. This is a Meshify 2, not Torrent, though I would ideally be using Torrent.
He's saying he wants to switch to one.
Can't really justify throwing out a perfectly good case 🤷
Talk about compact ✨
cleannn
was gonna drop a 5080 or 5090 FE
Downright chilly 🙂
Seems like it'd fit no problem
icl i like some rgb but not a lot. Only my ram and gpu has rgb
too much rgb is also ugly
ASUS ends promotion for its only MSRP RTX 5080 card NVIDIA MSRP cards make no sense anymore. There’s no other way to put it, ASUS has manipulated NVIDIA’s MSRP system for launch reviews. Their cheapest RTX 5080, the PRIME model, was initially launched as an MSRP card and included in “MSRP-only” reviews. However, it is […]
WHAT
thats so BS
if it aint MSRP than the plastic shroud is stupid
AMD please bless us with decent cards this gen
that is so cringe
1449cad=1013usd
canda has a cheaper card wtf

Tariffs have repercussions
Man 12VHPWR is cursed
I was so careful when I installed it and it didn’t feel very secure for how much power runs through it
he was using a third party cable tho but yeah i have no clue about moddiy
Never heard of them before
yeah most likely the cable was only tested for 4090 powerdraw
Sure but even stock the connector just didn’t seem nearly confident enough
I'm just happy with my good old 8 pins on my 7900xtx
Would explain why it worked fine with a 4090 for a while before
Is it that big a wattage delta between the 4090 and 5090?
especially since its burned on both ends I'm more willing to think its the cable itself having issues
like 125w more
I'll say tho 12vhpwr is just
Bad
As a whole
Stupid standard that should have never existed
watch it be 18AWG
shoutouts to cablemod
could also be beacuse its a SFF build so the hot air likely just heated up the case even more
so more heat+more powerdraw on 3rd party cable is questionable
mama miaaa😭

look at this guy so eager to give away free steam money, so generous wow
true
Thanks
If there's any channel with it still posted (the auto delete doesn't always work quite right) ping me
@marsh glade is there a landing page where people have to click to accept the rules or something before they get access
Perhaps this would fix the issue
Ah thought they were new accs
any sort of onboarding discord could do can be outdone by discord bots tbf
so many mr. beasts out there man
even when there is onboarding or react to gain access that gets automated
theyre like crawlers, the only way to get rid of them is to make first option "react with this option to get banned from the discord", speaking from experience
Ah yes
I love when my games require a file inside the EFI boot directory
Dafuq?
damn double lanapost, form the original and the imitation back to back
dw at the rate microsoft is changing kernel access we'll only get like 2-5 more years of "there is a riot file in my efi after installing the riot kernel anticheat!!!!" 
Isn't this a known quantity with their anti cheat solution? I know it's why I've never had the slightest inclination to try Val.
They said they'd need kernel level access, I just assumed they'd take full advantage of that.
I never thought it would make a freaking EFI boot file though
Wtf is that even for?
Making it boot up before Windows does, maybe???
Aren't they updating Vanguard to no longer run from boot?
At least for Windows 11 24H2 with certain other hardware security functions correctly enabled
Could've sworn I read something about that in late 2024
ngl im kinda proud i got this far already
@ashen spindle i accidentally stumbled on the original source in the android repo which helped immensly
just need to fix alpha applying and then i only need to work on touch events
yeah that does help xD
what difference does it make if it just runs in ring0 or if it makes a boot file?
microsoft are in general working to get all apps out of the kernel after crowdstrike and for anticheat they are working with riot, there are some beta test timelines etc. but nothing hard commit
god i wish that were me
no he wishes he was the 5080
both are valid options
I think he's just relieved that someone taller finds him attractive 
SMH my head she doesn't respect her man enough to buy a 5090 

Idk if any man is worth both of your kidneys to be honest
It's one of those scam eBay empty boxes T_T
Actually it's her confronting him about only getting HER a 5080 instead of 5090. He's hanging his head in shame.
She's posing an ultimatum - this relationship or the card. He's crying because he already knows the answer.
Shes going to annouce to her boyfriend that she's leaving him for the 5080
Everyone knows husband is supposed to get the leftover after I upgrade my own stuff smh
Think I want some OLD stuff in my PC? Nuh huh
Nico is being abused and you all laugh at it. It's crazy.
Honest skill issue at that point
You're right, look at his steam review of Battlefront Classic Collection
Wouldn't be suprised if she plans out his day, from bathroom breaks to snack times.
Hell he might not even be alive, she might be weekend at Bernieing him
Cause the payout goes up if he lives X amount of years, you're holding out for mroe
Yeah but he's still useful, he cooks banger food
a cry for help
fewer! It's FEWER! NOT LESS*
Because you beat him senseless if he doesn't!
Moumou can confirm I don't
I call Moumou to the stand as a witness
darn
that looks clean what
tbf im just reimplementing the original noisefield wallpaper from ICS in opengl.... cause the renderscript version doesnt work on new 64bit only phones
smth smth deprecated and long removed api
but ive used this wallpaper for like what 10yrs now or so
Nice job man!
Finally shipped
does the wooting app work for the 80he? or only can use web version?
Yes, but you need to download the v5 beta
i did but still cant get it to connect
Uh... not sure then
download v5
question; why do you prefer the desktop app? just curious since having a platform-agnostic web configurator you don't have to download is one of our biggest selling points and we often wonder why so many download the desktop application
perfectly cool to use wootility desktop though ofc ^_^ but for the 80HE you want v5: https://wooting.io/wootility/changelogs?version=5.0.0-beta.8
See what we've been cooking in Wootility releases.
I know I prefer the app because I use Firefox
yeah thats totally valid
Same 
firefox desktop browser market share is like 3% only but im pretty sure more than 50% of wootility users are using the desktop application
thats crazy
Huh that surprises me. I dunno, I mean I guess I use Discord and Slack as desktop apps even though they're both electron as well. Maybe folks just like things to be in their own box, even if under the hood that box is the same as the other box 🙂
ye so do i
At least I think they are still, right? Anyway, boxes.
firefox has 3% market share? thats sad
i used to use it too but from a security pov chromebased is better engineered :(
wooting website down for anyone else?
https://isup.me but works for me
Yay
I do because I don't use chrome personally
I think other firefox users feel the same
Could I just open edge do what i do and close it yes
i was a firefox user until this job lol so i feel you guys
Funny thing is I use chrome for work
Lmao
But with my personal machine i'm sticking to good old firefox
I use edge at work 
I use edge when chrome is buggy
When at work
🧠
Same, chrome at work for... reasons upon reasons
brother ew
I mean it beats people who are connected to the internet thinking they are fighting some good fight against Chrome
Meanwhile they already have profiles built about them
it just works so I install it
you edge at work?
Idk Im just in the mindset they already know what you are doing on the web, thinking a specific browser is somehow stopping that is just crazy talk
You want privacy, you have to get off the web and live in the woods
Number one mark moment
Firefox has the better ublock origin its all i care about
im doing my part meme*
what does the fox say?
<--- says "Firefox has the better ublock origin its all i care about"
i was just meming the song
it is indeed
i'm over a decade old
I'm actually... over 2 decades old
in 3 years i'll be over 3 decades old i'm scared
I don't want to disintegrate
"mr stark i dont feel so good"
you wont you'll be fine
TL;DR: Nvidia should add extra shunts to monitor the current balance of the connector(like ASUS is doing on their cards).

ASUS actually being smart
lol right
whats the best switches for wooting 60he+
there's no good or bad choice just depends on what you like
thats
plusle and minun
you UNCULTURED SWINE
nuh huh
hmm deep sounding ones :) tbh some videos make keyboards sound better than they actually do
"how dareee you!"
edge actually good browser, i always use it
Well that's Def a hot take
You like to edge at work?!

who doesnt
yeah whats the point to 50 chronium reskins
you can find your favourite flavor of chromium
statistically speaking chrome is naturally occuring in all humans, just like chromium on your pc
That's true
still a good browser
Edge is a browser held back by bullshit from the company behind it 😄
i mean they could just bundle chromium
My phone fell to the ground and now it says I have no sim card. I reinserted it three times and I still get that message. Anybody ever had this problem?
Buy a Zenfone Reddit said. Never listening to Reddit again
id imagine this depends on how it falls and can happen on most phones
we had those but nobody used those so now they are dead
still a nice browser tho despite all the bullshit
however windows is a pile of dog shit
i dont really get the motivation from people to use edge, doesn't it give the same ick as using google chrome, for the same reasons?
I'll never know, because I need an adblocker just to get through the intro process. 😄
chromium just works for everything
people don't get the ick from chrome
and edge looks nicer then chrome and performs better
i mean the choice is: safari, firefox or your favorite paintjob of chromium
those who do, use firefox
and safari and FF are sadly not the best
they do cuz it's google
but there are more open flavors of chromium not developed by [conglomerate]
chrome/chromium works the best imo, annoyingly
^ this
yeah and that's why everything else died away
i mean chromium is made by google and chrome is just their reskin of chromium
at the end they are all the same
powered by google
i would if i wasnt a web dev or needd webhid heh
you can't webdev unless you use chrome?
id use FF if it wasnt going down the crapper and actually good
yeah and you don’t wanna use operagx lmao that browser sucks balls
well the majority of our users are using chrome, of course i also test on FF
(because the majority of everyone is using chrome)
I use librewolf and just feel fine with it
isnt that just a FF reskin
that's really the issue, isn't it. everyone is using chrome so websites and libraries are built for chrome, so ff just does worse on account of nobody bothering to optimize for it
ergo, more people use chrome again
i think so
It is with a bit more privacy setting out of the box
FF shoots themselves in the foot tbh. they to this day refuse to implement some APIs chrome offers out of security concerns. but instead of just implementing them securely they just ignore it.
i really loved FF for years.... but it spiraled down and the latest news i keep hearing make me feel like i took the right turn when switching to arc on windows
what are the latest news
its just FF getting worse and worse for privacy
what are some concrete examples of that
and ofc native performance of video playback etc
Arc? Never heard of that browser
Arc isn't much of an alternative given how they ceased development.,
Sounds niche
it's a mac browser for hipsters or something like that
everythings getting worse for privacy
idk maybe starting with the 20 or 30 percent layoff of their advocacy division
vpn yourself to the teeth if you care about that shit in this age
you will own nothing, have no privacy and be fine with it.
privacy default settings being worse than on older version overall
even then its hard to avoid entirely with endless sign ins to do so much
what is advocacy division
Yeah sadly privacy isnt really a thing anymore
they worked on free and open web stuff. basically pushing to not have the web be controlled by corporations
sadly the corporations have money
they didnt really cease dev yet just more an LTSC mode
from how i understood it they wanna make a new browser with what they learned from arc but fresh start to not keep tech debt
if they ceased it would mean no updates at all
does it really matter if it works
nope
well i guess yesnt. it wouldnt matter if they actually release another browser that better
Maintenance vs. Development (i.e. adding and improving)
again, if it works then what does it matter if it never gets updated
it gets updated
thats the thing
they even fix use after free issues in chromium
they just dont add new features
like either it's good for you now and then it doesn't matter if gets updates
or it's bad for you now and then it doesn't matter whether it gets updated or not because you aren't using it
its not like they just upgrade the chromium they build upon
this is one im somewhat excited for though
sans their issues of their website not even rendering correctly at the beginning of the project id love to see what they come up with
yeah it's gonna be great in 3-4 years if they can keep development up
better than never
not gonna even release for 2 and then probably takes another couple years to get to somewhat feature-parity with the big ones out there
with all this development overhead I wonder what kind of monetizing scheme they'll run
wonder if it could replace firefox as the main chromium alternative
rn its sponsorships from companies like shopify
hope it's crypto 
where my brave browser enjoyers at
I enjoy Brave despite its crypto
same, it is still what I run
I enjoy Brave, no crypto ads here anymore 😄
just have to hide the VPN, wallet and Leo AI
does what it needs to do and keeps me safe from googles literal scam ads 
i'm not really even sure what the other browsers offer since I've used firefox always
i just hope that vivaldi fixes webhid one day 
is it another chromium-skin?
what's the value proposition
so the same as everyone else that isn't Chrome it seems
ngl I'm intrigued to try opera or vivaldi or brave or any other of the chromium skins but I'm just too invested in how I've set FF up that it would be a bother to set a new browser up again
i think for me it was purely arc tab management that i couldnt nicely replicate in FF which made me switch
yeah I dunno about any of that, I don't really use tabs
if i have a few things open at a time it doesn't really matter how I "organize" them or so
whether they are laid 123 or 321 or 213 makes no difference I guess
for brave at least: faster, less websites are jank, privacy out of the box without configuration and actual profiles as opposed to whatever firefox is doing
for me its mainly i keep tabs open more like bookmarks because bookmarks themselves is smth i tend to forget about as well as being palced in the menubar which (at least for me) is odd. so i tend to keep tabs open of what i wanna look at later or keep an eye on. some of those even lead to mem leaks before crashing my browser (thanks wowhead)
Do you not have auto-hibernation for your tabs?
yeah I see, my browser starts fresh on every boot
no tabs brought over no cookies brought over
firefox is supposedly capable of that via addons
but those never worked for me
That's unfortunate. They help a ton.
yeah id even go with other chromium browsers but i have experienced tabs and previous sessions being permanently lost from just shutting down windows and booting it back up before. not too recently my gf had the same happen
so arc played right into my cards with bookmarks being tabs themselves
I think brave also has a better mobile app imo
For mobile brave is the goat
For desktop ive settled on libewolf after trying various browsers
i found it crazy how a 20 year old game can have so much info on basically everything yet also practically no information on certain items quests etc

yeah i have one of those psus theyre cute
What’s crazy to me is that there is a 1000w edition now
hello guys yestreday a i shutdown my pc and my keyboard was working
today i open my pc and my wooting 60he is dead its not working anyone got an idea?
Unplug it and plug it back in
9800x3d and my DDR5 memory arriving today, can finally put that 5090 of mine to proper use
Managed to loan an am5 board from a friend too so I'm gonna be making some big upgrades after work today
its not plugged in cuz its dead not working
it is plugged but#
not woking##
open up full the keyboard?
yesterday was working just fine
no problems
7
somehow i moved it uop down and now it oppend
it was blinking nfirst the rgb#
but now opening and closing agian
thank you for your time
i think im close to 2 years now
with tis keyboard
thanks alot for the help and ur time i will try to contact support for warranty
Yes. Works nice in my build
Yeah got the MSI gaming trio lol. Had 3 buddies on release day and we only scored one
One of my other friends is mad cos he had to settle for a 4070ti
why did they not just get a 4090 though
😂, the other 60% is on eBay for £4000
They said it's not worth it cos they're being sold way too expensive. They would have got the 5070ti but they didn't wanna gamble on it
Just praying that my GPU power connector doesn't melt like I've seen in some posts on pcmr subreddit
I guess as long as I'm using the provided cable I should be covered as far as warranty goes.
But I seriously think they should have put two 8 pin power sockets on the GPU as opposed to the one. It's just such a big gamble
I don't care if it looks ugly bruh
User error?
From what I've seen it's due to people using third party connectors
But it still feels like too much power to push through 8 pins
yoinked new wallpaper from wallpaper engine
Don’t question nvidia
or you’ll answer to me
New GPU idea: PSU is attached directly to it
If they at least designed it so the cable fails before the GPU does at least I could save money on that
I'm not sweating it too much though. This is my first actual upgrade since my 2060
So I'm just happy I can run games at consistent frame rates mow
soldered 12vhpwr connector applied so nobody can use 3rd party cables, to prevent all melting
Big brain
Throw in a big fuck off cable as well, similar to something you'd see plugged into a wall outlet for an iron or space heater
Bro you get 1 free month of discord nitro if you buy the 5090 off Best Buy
savings galore
Yes actually
Would make the GPU look cleaner in the case as well
Don't care if it takes an extra slot just do it
You guys are not allowed to make gpu 
This is what the GPU looks like In my case rn, running with the am4 board
Single cable looks cleaner 
thats a big ass gpu
The included GPU sag bracket is too small so I had to cut up some foam and stick it underneath
Yeah it's fucking massive. It's in an nzxt h9 elite case as well
Is that the sfx corsair psu?
Yes
I got that one too 
What case is that
I’ll make mango gpu and make millions
Good access to ports!
Fractal Era 2
The ultimate stardew valley machine
If only my gpu wasn’t so long 
I saw optimum build the 5090 founders into a mini it's build and it looked so clean. The guy is truly an artist
That being said the 5090fe is tiny in comparison to aib 5090s
I wish
Tbh I've not had thermal issues with my 5090, runs at around 45-50
That being said it's probably chilling compared to my 5800x which is running at 90 💀
yes but the reason they are big is the comparitively bad thermal solution
Processor clocking overtime
But they look cool
Tbh the FE ones look clean as hell though I can't lie
You sure Tony? 
yes
I will say. I would have liked to get the 5090 fe. But I can't be picky 😂
true, so sad that the FEs are rare
Even the ROG Matrix? 
I am, monster hunter comes out next month and my 2060 was not gonna run that shit
Why are games so demanding these days goddamn
4090 is good enough for me until 5090 supply is stable ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Soon 
Monster hunter gonna go crazy
I wanna test out the older titles once I've finished my upgrades
Cos I swear I could barely run world at 60fps on my old setup
Monster hunter world just looked so good
What you gonna do with 4090?
I kinda locked myself from upgrading since I got little brother 7900xtx
Tbh it's probably not worth upgrading to the 5090 from the 4090. The performance increase is not great
But if you got money why not
Still a beastly card
cant exactly get a reasonably priced 4090 now
maybe if id bought it right on 5090 release
Yeah but I'm saying like, if you already have one why upgrade
I was gonna try and get a 5090 and hand my 4090 to my little brother but then got swayed into getting him an amd card
Im gonna wait an see what 60 series brings
true ill just give my gf a pc without gpu
If anything
Sounds good. Lmao
I’ll wait a few gens
hopefully the price won’t keep going higher and higher
I think I'm set for a decade at least ngl
Only time will tell
At which point I'll probably be done gaming
I’m just happy i got my 4080 openbox and practically perfect
Then you just respawn
He's already got spawns
love me a good tactical insertion
Someday I’ll deshroud my 4090
I never understood why these cables have so many plugs on them up along it
Anybody eggsplain?
For if you have more devices that require sata power
Yeah since it’s low power you don’t need multiple cables for multiple hdds
PCs also used to have more demand for SATA devices. You can build one now without using SATA at all, but go back a bit and most would have at least one optical and one disk drive.
Still plenty of people building home servers atm so sata power cables like that are still very much needed
yeah it's just that since you can have multiple device plugged into one cable since it's so low power, why not
it's ugly and inconvenient, but cheapest way to accommodate everyone's needs
I specifically did away with all SATA devices in my newest build just to avoid these cables because I hate em
Yeah pc + nas is the best way for clean system
me building a PC in the 00s with 5 hard drives and an optical drive using both ide and sata
nice cable management was damn near impossible back then with the rat nest you ended up with
Can't wait for btf motherboard to be more mainstream
No cable showing on the fun side of the pc
technological progress
But idk about all that extra power through the mobo
should just do the same as nvidia did with quadros, use EPS connectors and each one is 300W
so 2 of them mean 675W max TDP possible on a card
would mean same cable for cpu, gpu, everything but sata/24pin basically

Moomin!
seems alright
That's what I paid for my 3070 back in the day, and you've got a generation and half a version newer
So yea, seems pretty alright
nice
these partner card prices make me angry 😡
no need
Thermal paste? Meh just stick some chewed up bubblegum in there, it'll be fine
Use mayo
hehe, classic
sorry to say, but unfortunately that's just how it is
I have a little conjecture however, but I can't test it myself till either someone wants me to put something together with that aio for them, or till I refit mine
it might be possible to screw in the aio into the mounting brackets, and then screw the brackets in
which aio
ALF III
what
mounting ALF III on amd sucks
Finally
gz
I have 3 connectors, one labelled CPU, PUMP and VRM. Whhere do they go
Do I not have enough ports for all of them?
There's the chassis/water pump fan connector but then I'd have no way to connect the case fans 
No splitters?
Urrr
Usually coolers come with one
Don't think there is one, no
Read the AIO manual.
Kind of depends on how it's built.
Some AIOs do everything with just the CPU plug, others use CPU fan and a secondary one, or uses SATA/USB to control itself.
some mobos also have a dedicated aio plug
Yeah that's the pump one. Still need to make sure the AIO is designed for it.
oh i mean my mobo actually says aio 🤣
pump/aio headers are just higher amperage
my mobo just has 3A on all of em lol
even chassis fan
that thing can drive some beefy fans
should've gotten an aircooler instead 
There will be a Der8auer Video soon, he mentioned it already.
my thirsty ass could never have water in the pc 🥵
Would be interesting to use the Noctua NH-P1
no need for watercooling in cold ass scandinavia
Yeah well sometimes during the summer
pc can afford to suffer a bit for that one week
Yup lol
We've had some very nice winter weather now though sunny, a bit of -degrees and snow
had some snow around new year, other than that its been warmer than usual
Wat 😄
It’s not smart for me to watercool here because when I’m traveling in winter, my pc is often subject to around -50°F temps. Water would freeze and mess up the loop.
using PCIE 5.1 (12V-2x6) should help avoiding this issue
thats literally what he is using
12V-2x6 only changes the wires in the slots, the cables stay the same and every 50 series is using that
the post says it because thats the name people know because the naming is stupid as well
yes but by using 12v-2x6 the card shouldnt work if the cable isnt plugged in properly
no it just lowers the risk of it not being correctly working
its still just assuming the cable is correctly slotted by using the sense pins, its not checking if the pins are connected correctly
and again, he IS using 12v-2x6
hes saying the cables and psu are from a psu 2 years ago, there was no 12v-2x6? didnt read the whole thread, but what lets u assume its the newer one?
isnt there the h++ / vs h+ label thing?
which is a 2mm imprint on the plastic? 
my cable got the h++ imprint
but it seems like it only changes the possible power
600w vs 675
yes and the changes that article describes are changes in the connector aka the part on the gpu the cables just have it because marketing and to show it follows the latest spec, which for the cables is identical
in this case their marketing got me. learned something, thank you 
its just a shit connector all around that nvidia enforced because they felt like it xD
somehow I still wanna upgrade my 4090 to the 5090 
I'm having an issue with the build. The rad is so thick that the one fan is bumping into the riser cable. I'll have to get thinner fans
must not be a huge fan of money
the more you buy
We love ngreedia
guys wootility cant detect my wooting its already in restore mode
anyone can help with this problem?

lol I just had to explain this to some peeps in another chat
Some dude was like I bought two 12v 2x6 cables just in case
I’m like bro the cables didn’t change lol
problem isnt the connector, its the power balancing
if you had a 3x8 pin card, and left 2 8 pins unplugged, it wouldnt draw all the power from the remaining 8 pin, but 12vhpwr allows that
Yeah making the sense pins shorter didn’t fix the problem
Very lazy half ass solution
That isn’t a solution
why not put two connector like the evga cards ?
waste of pick and place time and board space
should i buy a 4070 super or the 5070
The fact that people are this worried
Shows there's something wrong eith the product
Tbh
You shouldn't have to worry about... your gpu melting
Fucking ridiculous
that is complete nonsense and you know it, something that is newsworthy every incident it happens is evidence that the issue is rare, not that its prevalent
Problem is it happenned enough to become newsworthy to this point
And some people like northridgefix still get new melted 4090s to this day
For melted connectors
yes, because its rare
we know school shootings are something to be worried about beause most of them arent unique enough to be newsworthy
(in the us)
do the repair channels report that they are constantly doing them so much that they only show some of them on the channels?
Yes lol
when rossman was doing the screens killing macbook motherboards, he said that
erm it's actually fine that the connectors melt

Go watch northridge fix he said the same
alright, if thats true, let me know which video he said it in, im willing to do the skimming, but only of 1 video
I hope they melt more so it becomes properly common place so people just disregard the issue
I assume you mean "it's better taht the connector melts than something else"
well, ideally, I'd have the whole card be set on fire but I'll take what I can get really
Why not just shorten the sense pins so it won't run with the connector not seated?
they did, it didnt work
they updated it mid cycle on 40 series, and there were still afaik 2 burns after that
Just add a 12 inch pigtail with a female connector on the end XD
Prevent cable strain
good luck getting that mounted in a pick and place
Just have the sense use a mini jst and screws for power and ground
Like the titan prototype
actually wait they already do that for the 5090 dont they
@astral haven this is an exceptional failure which is why he was talking about it but in the intro he talks about how many he's had come in with burnt connectors before but that this is an exception and that it's why he's showcasing it. He talks about how many he's had come in before for repair. https://youtu.be/N2SLnAUdhSQ?si=Frqb6GWt-oPmO5b9
