Lana you are the last person I would have expected to think you have to buy Windows

[fair gull]

just google it

[reef patrol]

Or you know.. use a throwaway email and go through setup, then make it offline once installed and learned from this

[cursive summit]

Windows installation is free

Activation is optional

[wheat plume]

Ooo rebooting again made this show up!!! Let's gooooo

[umbral heron]

Either way you don't need a key for Windows anyway, you can use it non-activated for personal use

[cursive summit]

Yeah you have three options, never activate, activate for free using some shady means windows doesn't seem to care about so it's technically legit, and buy a license

Or be a linux pleb

[umbral heron]

She already is

[wheat plume]

Yes

[cursive summit]

Yes, and that's a problem

[umbral heron]

It's not

[modern sky]

Ummm

[cursive summit]

[modern sky]

Honestly yeah that sounds accurate if your boss forces Linux onto your workplace to save money

You should call him and the it guy that approves it Linux plebs and tell them buy Chrome books and juice boxes next time

[cursive summit]

Best kind of workplace is when you tell your management you'll pirate adobe acrobat for pdf editing at work and they go "yeah go ahead"

[wheat plume]

LOL

[modern sky]

Now you are just unhinged

[cursive summit]

That actually happened though

[umbral heron]

In our case it'd something like so:

Nope, not without a license
So, can I get the license
lol no, use some free pdf viewer

[cursive summit]

Tbf some of our companies are unhinged in this country

I've read how in U.S you'd get a notice from your ISP if you ever as much as touch torrenting software

Real story though, our local ISP literally torrent apps so they don't give a shit

[wheat plume]

Ok I made local account

[wheat plume]

I saw a few cases where people got cut off by their ISP for torrenting Linux ISOs

They had to prove to the ISP they weren't pirating .-.

[cursive summit]

It happens, in U.S, in Germany more recently

Hell even here one of the bigger ISPs do track that

But mine is a local, smaller one who literally pirate themselves for cost optimization

[reef patrol]

If they don't want torrent traffic, they can literally just filter it. No need to send letters or complain.

[umbral heron]

I wake up, still on a sick leave, happy that no one tries to force me to work, getting paid for it too, drink some nice tea imported under EU regulations, checking my torrent client which already uploaded some 10TiB of data and looking outside from a window at a park, with no cars in sight, only people walking and biking around, and thinking how lucky I am to not live in US

[cursive summit]

Let's be real there are many more reasons to be happy not to live in U.S

[modern sky]

I might be wrong here but I think the spring is noticeably longer on TTCs than Lekkers, and what you are feeling might be placebo

[reef patrol]

You looked into it. I am not aware of any such reports.

But as Froge points out, noticeably different design from a different brand.

You'll have to take that up with TTC I guess.

[wheat plume]

Ah yes
I love when my speakers pop when windows boots up
/S

[marsh glade]

That is USB related

[reef patrol]

Just be glad Windows doesn't start a big intro video on first bootup with max volume 😄

(anymore)

[marsh glade]

Watch these ads to enable Windows features for the next 2 hours

[wheat plume]

Windows is so slow OMFH

I right click and it takes 3 seconds to open

[ashen spindle]

This, If the speakers get random electrical signal noise before the OS even boots it’s not related to the OS

[marsh glade]

Well it may still be OS-related, but the cause is the port power cycling

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxBZYbnn8WnrOjBzMFKp4SO4_12TfQ2bN9

Can't even exit it for several seconds 😄

[crimson wigeon]

gotta admit that tune is p good tho wish there was a full length version

[cursive summit]

Tbf WinXP bootup was scary if you did not know how loud your audio is

[marsh glade]

I wonder if Heidi's Windows-98 Linux skin replicates this

[cursive summit]

I think a fair few people got their ears blasted by earlier Windows versions

[marsh glade]

INTEL INSIDE

[cursive summit]

That's prolly one of the few good changes Microsoft has done, get rid of the earrape

[wheat plume]

There is still a login sound

[analog sinew]

turn it offf

[wheat plume]

Ooooo you can pin the Trash Bin to Quick Access inside File Explorer now
Fuck yeah

No longer need to unhide my desktop icons to use the trash

[marsh glade]

Or use the delete button?

[analog sinew]

i always did that

back in win7

[wheat plume]

Hehehe perfect

[marsh glade]

Not even ultimate edition

Smh my head

[fair gull]

not a thing since win8 came out

ultimate just became pro

[umbral heron]

I prefer Premium Deluxe edition

[fair gull]

dont forget to get the season pass

[analog sinew]

on steam?

[umbral heron]

I won't get it on EGS, come on

[wheat plume]

I used the office tool too

No need to login either

This would be in memes if it wasn't a real product it seems

[reef patrol]

[fair gull]

unless the product link exists its a meme

[cursive summit]

I am trying to locate it and it might be a meme tbf

[fair gull]

not to mention i dont see temu making their own products and not being an absolute cess pit of scammy marketplace offers

[cursive summit]

I am trying to find that article lol, if it's real or not

[umbral heron]

A meme, some dude changed name in firmware

[cursive summit]

Ah yeah it's a meme, it's a reddit user

u/LateDitto, a degenerate memer also a shameless self insert in the meme

I was wondering wtf is "PCKnow"

[dull hollow]

still named as an RTX 4060 FE

[bright briar]

oh hell naw lmfao

[analog sinew]

didnt der 8auer already do that? Also it seems like waterblocks exacerbate the issue as theres no airflow over the connector

833€

[old marlin]

800€ here

but germany tends to be cheaper with AMD parts so

[cursive summit]

A shithole here

[unkempt lake]

yall don't need it

[cursive summit]

I do

For rendering moumou photos

[unkempt lake]

That's a noble usage

I support that

[umbral heron]

815€ is the cheapest I can find
Oh well, it'll wait until next month I guess

[unkempt lake]

how is your 7950x3d limiting you in any way

[umbral heron]

It's not

[unkempt lake]

Exactly

Wait for ryzen 10000

[umbral heron]

I don't need an upgrade and won't need it for a long time
But my brother will have a new PC and my CPU goes to his PC, and he pays for half of the new one
The other half gets paid by my comapny, because of seasonal bonus

[unkempt lake]

Ok that makes a bit more sense

[nimble arch]

9950X3D is £700

[fair gull]

just get a 9800x3d or 7800x3d?

[vapid ruin]

Google just released a model that can caption an image

can't really caption women though

[cursive summit]

Gemma 3?

[vapid ruin]

yep

[cursive summit]

Supposedly we might get a new Dalle release this year

It's been a bit

[vapid ruin]

Im more interested in llama 4 and qwen 3

[unkempt lake]

What is this tandom text

[cursive summit]

Gemma 3 prompt n response

Not a great response tbf, didn't follow the prompt

[unkempt lake]

Everyone knows we're just CIA operatives

Dummy

[vapid ruin]

😭

I just want my AI uncensored

[cursive summit]

I can help you with that

[unkempt lake]

sorry you can't caption cia operatives

[cursive summit]

There's chinese AI models out there that are very little censored and can generate some nsfw stuff

[vapid ruin]

Elon Musk genuinely can make better AI than Open AI and Anthropic because he can allow all type of NSFW to be placed into their AI

[unkempt lake]

when OwOai

[cursive summit]

Well actually

https://huggingface.co/Qwen/QwQ-32B

QwQ is pretty close

[unkempt lake]

Oh my fucking god

[nimble arch]

I already have a 7800X3D. I was just checking the price out of curiosity.

[grizzled night]

I was thinking about this but most games I play r bottlenecked at the gpu not cpu

[cursive summit]

We will do.. something with this information

[wheat plume]

......

you cancel a subscription and immediately get forced into another subscription ...

[marsh pewter]

10/10 lanapost

complaining about something with no context given to the rest of us

[wheat plume]

im on reddit and saw this...I also have no idea what service this is ....

[astral haven]

why post it then?

[nimble arch]

New controller day

[unkempt lake]

you're on reddit first mistake

Second mistake no context

Third mistake the context is probably in the comments somewhere but reading is hard

[wheat plume]

Oh hell yeah!!!!! I have the first model and it's amazing 💜

The one without HE sticks and Bluetooth

[analog sinew]

maybe 1 day i buy one

[unkempt lake]

dont you already have a cintroller

[analog sinew]

nope

[unkempt lake]

dude plays mh with kb/m

[analog sinew]

well i have a wooting if that counts

[unkempt lake]

What's wrong with you

Kb/m mh wilds

Oh no

[analog sinew]

its good

[unkempt lake]

Its not

[analog sinew]

focus mode on mouse is sick

[unkempt lake]

You're insane

[wheat plume]

Why'd you get the boring ass black color? Xd

[analog sinew]

i dont dispute that

i played ds1 without dsfix on kbm

[nimble arch]

Because I am boring

[analog sinew]

after eye surgery

[unkempt lake]

Black often goes on sale iirc

[wheat plume]

LOL fair xd

[wheat plume]

Oh hmmm...maybe

[marsh pewter]

I got the ultimate 2C recently

probably the best controller I’ve used

[timid willow]

What do I need to buy to build a 60he custom keyboard

[nimble arch]

I, too, have that one but I also wanted the dock.

So this was a good choice even a few months later.

Idk if I see point

[nimble arch]

I'm liking this new 8BitDo controller already

[wheat plume]

Yeh they are great 💜

[marsh pewter]

the triggers on the ultimate line are hall effect

bumpers are switches

face buttons are membrane iirc but they’re still really clicky

the angle is a little too narrow imo, especially if you’re coming from something like a dualsense

[wheat plume]

copying the magic keyboard...but hopefully not the price of the magic keyboard

[misty matrix]

LETS GOOOOO

oh

:(

[old marlin]

no please do copy it, that makes me able to justify expensive custom boards

[wheat plume]

huh? im talking about the tablet keyboard case

[old marlin]

yea

350€ makes customs not that bad

[marsh pewter]

is that how that works?

[old marlin]

[marsh pewter]

don’t you dare :Clueless: me

[old marlin]

[marsh pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-angry-kill-cat-kill-angry-gif-500231649981196765

[old marlin]

no but fr I don't get how apple got to that price

[sudden imp]

kitty so angy

[dull hollow]

its apple

[old marlin]

other than slapping on like 200% ontop of what might have been fair

[dull hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-gif-25177956

[old marlin]

good point

https://vxtwitter.com/GATERONOfficial/status/1899359588606218517

Only GATERON can do:)

[balmy vector]

Only GATERON can do:)

[sudden imp]

That is so cool

Hal effect means no psychical moving parts which may be incorporated

[old marlin]

if you spill coke on your keeb the switches are still gonna end up sticky

you can't really make them fully liquid-proof

[scenic thunder]

Apple mac pro wheels, nuff said, its an idiot tax for people willing to pay it.

[old marlin]

that is a 700 dollar accessory to a 8000 dollar computer

the keyboard is a 350€ accessory to a 1200€ tablet

[wheat plume]

I fucking love lsd

these lil icons to show the filetype are so cute

[balmy vector]

This will be taken out of context

[wheat plume]

You got to admit, these icons are super cute 😍

Apple under Steve Jobs: Innovating product design and marketing
Apple under Tim Cook: Innovating ways to milk the most money out of customers

[astral haven]

nah, if that were true they would make better products

[astral haven]

nah
never any innovation

steve jobs just took existing tech and repackaged it in a way that made sense to him, and he had pretty decent taste in UX

problem is that the current designers have awful taste

[wheat plume]

yeh

[fickle ore]

Steve jobs was the king of median

He knew what most people wanted

[astral haven]

eh, idk about that

he knew very well what a decently sized but small subset of the population wanted

[marsh pewter]

he also took a lot of credit for stuff he didn’t do

[fickle ore]

Dude even my dad buys apple

He knew what most people want

[astral haven]

did he buy apple during the steve jobs era?

[fickle ore]

Yea cuz his bro also got apple and for all the kids

[astral haven]

so he was part of the small subset

[fickle ore]

Not the most financially inclined one

[astral haven]

"U.S. smartphone market for 2011, Apple's market share was 27.4%,"

ai result but probably got it from somewhere real

[fickle ore]

Mind you this is Nokia country where everyone had nokia before

[astral haven]

actually maybe that was bs, heres what statistica came up with at the time

[nimble arch]

Global sales include tons of budget phones

The iPhone is immensely more popular in the full price regions

Not to mention it's even more prominent in marketshare for mobile app revenue

[astral haven]

which if that is what people wanted is still an indicator of appealing to a small subset

[fickle ore]

I fail to grasp how can Apple be so popular in Europoor/globally. It should only be popular in US but im prob on spectrum so

[astral haven]

people in europe can spend money on enthusiast items without risking bankruptcy due to getting sick

[fickle ore]

makes sense actually

[astral haven]

also considering how much time we spend on smartphones these days, they are actually obscenely cheap

[rough osprey]

iPhone da goat

[astral haven]

*if you are part of the target market

[fickle ore]

1-2 month net salary

[astral haven]

which is relatively cheap for something you spend more time with than your house and car combined

[rough osprey]

i might be

why is swipe to reply gone???

[astral haven]

lucky you

[astral haven]

Ios strangeness?

[rough osprey]

ah its a setting

[fickle ore]

ye but u can get same shit for 100€ chinese model

[rough osprey]

why they making channel details the default....

[astral haven]

we need to go back to the era of doing real wonky shit that costs alot of money

[marsh pewter]

because so many people complained

[rough osprey]

weird people

[fickle ore]

My 100€ phone has better camera than my gfs 300€ samsung phone that is like 2 years newer

I got Poco something

[rough osprey]

can apple make iphone 16e but with their pro screens

[astral haven]

its called a 14 pro

[rough osprey]

and magsafe and stuff

[rough osprey]

old and too many cameras

i just want one small one

[astral haven]

who cares and tape respectively

[rough osprey]

what

[astral haven]

tape gets rid of the extra camera, and not caring fixes the old problem

[rough osprey]

💀 😭

[fickle ore]

not caring fixes most things

wallet too

[cursive summit]

Tbf I've been looking up 16 Pro Max reviews.. why is the camera a bit shit?

Apple used to have almost supremacy at cameras

They've really fallen off

[astral haven]

when lol

[cursive summit]

Tbf that "dynamic island" is a bit shit

I don't understand why it's not software enabled, why's it physical

[astral haven]

?

they have some hardware there

[rough osprey]

i know everyone says that but you really dont care once you use the phone for a lil while

[cursive summit]

Cool, have a punch hole

And a software enabled dynamic island like how android imitations do https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamicisland.notchscreenview&hl=en

[astral haven]

the hardware is large for the scanner

[rough osprey]

https://preview.redd.it/jp2lusn1zkt91.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=36939d09621071fb826c33c38649859a899108a3

thats without the software

[cursive summit]

Tbf I still cannot understand why Apple does FaceID

Be normal, use fingerprint sensors

[rough osprey]

both would be cool but faceid is very nice

[astral haven]

their clients demand it despite it being such a bad experience

[unkempt lake]

Fingerprint scanners suck

[unkempt lake]

How is it a bad experience

[cursive summit]

They do not

[astral haven]

have you used it?

[balmy vector]

both would be nice, i personally had no good experiences with fingerprint scanners

[marsh pewter]

FaceID is leagues better than TouchID

[unkempt lake]

Yep since the iphone X

[cursive summit]

Fingerprint scanners on a 200$ budget device work perfectly lol

[unkempt lake]

Never had issues

[rough osprey]

i can probably count the times it didnt work on one hand

[unkempt lake]

But fingerprint scanners are meh if your hands are too dry or too wet or whatever

[astral haven]

place your phone on your desk and try to get in

[unkempt lake]

Works

[rough osprey]

move head

[astral haven]

faceid : your phone being oriented wrong lel

[marsh pewter]

it works you just have to look down slightly

[unkempt lake]

Literally just had to move my eyes

[marsh pewter]

which i’m pretty sure is an artificial requirement you can turn off

[unkempt lake]

Yep

[marsh pewter]

ye

[nimble arch]

A flagship should really include both pieces of hardware

User choice is a feature

[empty wren]

Vein id

[unkempt lake]

If i place the phone on my desk way too fucking far of course it won't work but i'd like feab the phone at thay point

[rough osprey]

lets get VoiceID

[balmy vector]

Telepathy ID

[astral haven]

no i mean on your desk like this

[empty wren]

Probably could that with that yeah

[marsh pewter]

theoretically possible with something like neuralink

[unkempt lake]

It was in front of me like this

[astral haven]

with my personal phone, laptop, and even if i had an ipad or macbook id be able to get in much faster

[astral haven]

yea thats where my trackpad is, my phone resides off to the side

and for most people the keyboard is at the edge of the desk

[unkempt lake]

My phone is in my pocket where i don't use it or face down to the left

I flip and grab it anyways

Literally

[astral haven]

and if your phone is in your pocket, i wonder what would be faster to get you logged in...

[unkempt lake]

It just unlocks as soon as i swipe and im ready to use it

Hush i know its dirty rn

[astral haven]

i mean really the fault with apple is it doesnt dismiss as soon as it detects after you raise the phone, but due to that touch id got me to home screen 4x or 5x faster...

[unkempt lake]

Whenever i borrow nico's phone im just like

I hate this touch id shit

[astral haven]

which is why apple will always be stuck with their garbage UX for most folks

[unkempt lake]

Like he hands it to me and half yhe time i just get frustrated and input the code

[astral haven]

they are stuck pandering to a small portion of vocal users

[unkempt lake]

I just prefer faceid

Only complaint is i wish i could add nico's face for whenever i hand him my phone for something

Cuz he always goes

I FORGOT UR CODE

And then im like

[astral haven]

as a user who was forced to switch from touchid to faceid on my work phone with zero personal money investment, i can assure you that it is not faster

[unkempt lake]

U fucking goldfish

[rough osprey]

more like the opposite

[marsh pewter]

erm goldfish actually have pretty good memories

[unkempt lake]

@true robin there gave it a quick clean u happy

Shamed me into wiping it down

[rough osprey]

now clean the desk

[unkempt lake]

The deckpad is literally my whole desk

I bought it cuz the finish on the desk is all fucked

[astral haven]

its literally the parliament problem that germany just fixed
around 5-10% complain loud and make all the decisions,
30-40% are willing to go along with it since it works well enough for them
then another 10-20% dont like it but dont say anything about it and just go along with it since they dont know anything better

[unkempt lake]

Why replace it when i can slap a deskmat on top

[rough osprey]

wouldnt u be the loud complainer in this case while all the other people say they had good experience with it 🤔

[astral haven]

ive been tweaking settings on and off for around 2 years, its fine

[unkempt lake]

Literally not even that bad smh

Just a bit of cat hair

49

[marsh pewter]

have you ever thought that monitor might be too wide

[unkempt lake]

No its optimal

[marsh pewter]

really?

[astral haven]

im in the remaining 30-50% that uses something else

[balmy vector]

16:9 ftw

[marsh pewter]

16:10 is peak but big 16:9 doesn’t want you to know that

[astral haven]

you mean 3:2?

[balmy vector]

1:1

[unkempt lake]

Perfect for productivity

[astral haven]

i just feel that due to using it and alternatives i am much better than average positioned to critique

[rough osprey]

im pretty sure most people here have tried androids too or

[astral haven]

if you arent using an iphone, why bother critiquing it
and if you arent using a different phone, how do you know how much better things can be?

[astral haven]

90% of folks who tried a phone and didnt like it were getting the budget model or an ancient one and comparing it to a brand new fancy competitor

[leaden kiln]

my current phone has one of the better fingerprint scanners I've used but I really liked faceid when I had an iphone x

[rough osprey]

i used androids all my life and switching to iphone has been the biggest improvement there was

[astral haven]

if you had an iphone 5c and switch to a s24 ultra youll get as much benefit as switching from a lg transformer or whatever their bottom tier 2013 unit was to a 16PM

[rough osprey]

although my criticism of android is mostly that the UI is just ugly on like all the models

[astral haven]

then you are definetly part of the small minority, since most of our users dont like the iphone ui

[rough osprey]

our users?

[astral haven]

people i support

[magic minnow]

Face ID is really good on iPhone, my S24U was extremely hit or miss with it

[rough osprey]

idk if that really reflects the whole phone using community xd

[unkempt lake]

I love racing games and those games support 32:9 so

[astral haven]

much better sample than redditors

[unkempt lake]

Mine's a mini led @true robin

[rough osprey]

for sure

but if you need support with a phone you kinda already in a special group

[unkempt lake]

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/rise-of-the-ronin-is-another-crappy-pc-port-performance-patch-coming-soon/

Yep

Looks awesome

[balmy vector]

microled pls

ye most are hdr400 certified at most

[ashen spindle]

hdr1000 is where actual hdr starts yeah

though stuff like hdr true black400 also works thats a different scale

but normal hdr400/600 rating might as well just be ignored

[unkempt lake]

only one way to find out

If this is true 9070XT is an insane card

https://www.reddit.com/r/AyyMD/comments/1j9mocq/9070xt_undervoltingoverclocking/

Dropping 70W and gaining performance

[astral haven]

It is if the content is that bright

[cursive summit]

Seems it's possible to get a far higher score while also dropping TDP with these cards, the underclocking is nuts

It'll normalize, no rush

[ashen spindle]

no we dont pay more we just have taxes and us doesnt have VAT in prices

[cursive summit]

Some U.S states don't even have taxes so they are just outright far cheaper

[dull hollow]

i was talking about this yesterday

[cursive summit]

I think I remember Der8auer's results being a lot more perf for.. some extra wattage unless I misremember

But it seems to be able to compromise for far less wattage and still increasing the perf considerably

[gentle osprey]

Nah Userbenchmark said otherwise

[dull hollow]

tho i have to wait till tmr to do UV testing on my own gpu

[gentle osprey]

[cursive summit]

Yeah I'd be willing to buy a "better" model of 9070XT just for the thermals, VRMs and better bins

Nitro+, I will own you one day.. when you cost less

[astral haven]

anything is possible if you are ok with instability...

[dull hollow]

right now im running -100 mV core and 2800 mhz vram

[unkempt lake]

Its a shitty connector just because its amd sapphire doesn't mean it's any better

[dull hollow]

the only xfx i saw at my microcenter was 820$ before tax

[cursive summit]

Sure is, and we'll see if a single one burns on that card

[gentle osprey]

Tbh I doubt the Nitro card will melt

Not that much power going thru it

[cursive summit]

5080 melted so 9070XT can lol

[astral haven]

this is why clickbait headlines are bad
theres nothing wrong with the plug
the problem is the circuitry on nvidia 40 and 50 series

[cursive summit]

But with an undervolt I am quite interested in the low TDP (mid-200s)

[ashen spindle]

https://www.intc.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1730/intel-appoints-lip-bu-tan-as-chief-executive-officer @fickle ore

[unkempt lake]

The circuitry on the 9070xt is just as dumb

[astral haven]

nvidia 30 series (which used more power) didnt have the problem

[cursive summit]

Lip Bhutan?

[astral haven]

[citation needed]

[dull hollow]

the 9070xt does have some extreme power spikes

[gentle osprey]

Didn’t know 5080s were melting but fair enough

[ashen spindle]

if you click a link it usually opens a page and there is more info on these so called websites

[cursive summit]

Nah his name is just funny

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/2HjnByG7AXY?si=lQDUCo0g_ecy2pvm

[balmy vector]

Thats cool…. But any laptop news?

[analog sinew]

the nitro+ also dumps it into one plane then splits it via two fuses

soo it could theoretically melt the connector from what we know

[dull hollow]

the card normally runs around 330-350w under load and it can spike up to 450w (for a fraction of a second, most ive seen)

[cursive summit]

He's a venture capitalist? But has a degree in physics

[gentle osprey]

I’m not an electrician but I say fuck this connector lol

[unkempt lake]

Same stupid crap just has a lesser watrage which means it has less of a chance of welp melti mg

[balmy vector]

I think we should make a connector of my design

Mango connections llc

[gentle osprey]

Seems like is causes more problems than it fixes

[marsh pewter]

shaped like a deer ofc

[astral haven]

nah, ill bet that this will have crazily lower failure rates

[balmy vector]

Patented and very efficient. Doesnt burn up like 12vhpwr and is even better than 8pins

[fickle ore]

what the hell

[astral haven]

and ofc comparing only to same power draw units

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I mean I’d like to see it not melt but we’ll see

[astral haven]

the design is definetly still very stupid, but its not nvidia tier

[gentle osprey]

That’s good at least

[balmy vector]

Should make it sideways

[fickle ore]

LBT had issues with Pat so I guess he can now come back lol. Well atleast we got the "asian CEO" meme that everyone wanted.

[balmy vector]

Maximize burning

[astral haven]

i hope other board vendors make much better versions tho because its really not something they should be selling

[unkempt lake]

Also a literal placement that makes you HAVE to do a 90 degree bend

[unkempt lake]

And that makes it harder to see if the cable is all the way in or not

Its a stupid design

[cursive summit]

.. wrong...

[unkempt lake]

You literally do

[cursive summit]

It's a soft bend

[gentle osprey]

Kinda lame that they don’t just all use the same design, if they had a design with the lowest failure rate, they should all use that, not just everyone making their own

[cursive summit]

Not a crank

Doesn't matter that it's 90

[unkempt lake]

Still easy to pull on it while cable managing

And you're not gonna see it easily

[cursive summit]

Just like any other connector?

[unkempt lake]

It adds a point of failure

[balmy vector]

Overriden

Get drawn

[cursive summit]

Yeah Dashi you really just want to hate for very little reason

[unkempt lake]

Its a bad design

[cursive summit]

Maybe first see one actually burn

[unkempt lake]

Objectively

[astral haven]

it depends on your case and motherboard

[balmy vector]

Can i eat it

[astral haven]

we dont accept that in literally any other case

[unkempt lake]

I think you're just defending it because it's amd and sapphire

[cursive summit]

Tbf you don't need to put the magnetic panel on as fr as I understand

[reef patrol]

Bad design? Who said 12pin?

[gentle osprey]

I don’t see the bend being an issue if you give the cable some slack

[cursive summit]

If you don't put the magnetic panel on there will be virtually no bend there

[gentle osprey]

But if it’s pulling super hard on the connector then yeah

[unkempt lake]

The nitro 9070xt has a 12vhpwr on the back

[cursive summit]

Cause I don't have a hate boner for no reason?

[balmy vector]

Agree, depends on the cable i think

[cursive summit]

I will want some concrete evidence before I start to rageboner

[unkempt lake]

It'd be easy to do look at how many managed to do it with a 40 series

[gentle osprey]

Skill issues

[astral haven]

the problem is a design that encourages issues is always bad when its easily avoidable

[unkempt lake]

Literally lead to everyone saying its only user error for like a year

[balmy vector]

IVE BEEN HIT WITH GREEN

[gentle osprey]

I agree

[marsh pewter]

(I just wanted to edit it too)

[unkempt lake]

Until people did a deep dive on the circuitry

[ashen spindle]

looks like the same if not more bending area than cases where its close to the side panel so not worse than any nvidia card

[cursive summit]

The magnetic panel on that card is still optional though

[marsh pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/nyehehe-laughing-laughing-cat-nye-nye-nye-nye-nye-gif-9020437857016829000

[astral haven]

smart people always knew it wasnt user error since it didnt happen on 30 series

[unkempt lake]

Because some melted from not being plugged in properly some melted from shitty circuitry

[gentle osprey]

Yeah this is what I was thinking too tbh

More space than a horizontal GPU against glass panel

[cursive summit]

The curve on that card is NOT a problem

And you can easily not put that magnetic panel on either and it will be straight

[astral haven]

its curving the wrong direction tho

[ashen spindle]

it doesnt make it a better connector but its not worse than what we have

[balmy vector]

Chunky cable, yum

[unkempt lake]

Makes it just as bad as a 40 series

People shit on 40 series for it

People shit on 50 series

[astral haven]

no it is worse unless you keep the panel off

[marsh pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/monsterhouse-monster-house-candy-chocolate-gif-23787505

[unkempt lake]

This deserves some shit too

[ashen spindle]

no this deserves some shit if something burned/broke

[unkempt lake]

True cuz then you can at least see if its still in apl the way

[astral haven]

nah

[unkempt lake]

Lets wait till someone's house burns great

[astral haven]

you cant see the bad contact unfortunately

[cursive summit]

And not a single one yet has so people are just hating for no real reason whatsoever

[marsh pewter]

saying it’s gonna burn with no evidence is just fear mongering

[unkempt lake]

Someday i'll say i told you so

[astral haven]

the evidence is a very similar design burned alot

[cursive summit]

I severely doubt that 12v fire will ever cause an actual house fire

[astral haven]

🎲

[ashen spindle]

did we have any 4080s that had issues or was it just 4090?

[cursive summit]

It'll just melt and lose connection

[unkempt lake]

I bet yall will blame ohhh it wasn't in properly

[gentle osprey]

80s too

[unkempt lake]

i love sapphire and amd uwuwuu

Can do no wrong

[ashen spindle]

no you are just making shit up now and not reading what any of us are saying

[cursive summit]

Which they are trying to rectify btw across all brands and cards

[gentle osprey]

My only issue with different connectors designs is if/when something does happen, who’s taking the blame

[cursive summit]

Well the funny thing is, nobody said that

[balmy vector]

I just hate that it bends so poorly

[cursive summit]

What evidence you have a single 9070XT with 12V has burned yet

[balmy vector]

At least mine in my 4080, not talking about the 9070 were talking about

[astral haven]

this is all bait btw, the issue is the circuit design, just the brands are suceptible to peer pressure

[unkempt lake]

Card's barely released less wattage means less risk but it will happen, some 4080s burned at 320w

A 9070xt is 300+ w

Its just time

Took a bit before we saw some 80s burn but some did eventually

[cursive summit]

Yeah I'll wait to see that day before I start shitting on a product

[ashen spindle]

we did see not a single 30 series card with it causing issues or did we?

[unkempt lake]

Had proper power balancingp

The 40-50 series and 9070xt don't

[cursive summit]

Actually just this week I remember seeing a post with 8pins melting

It can happen to anyone, whatever connector

[astral haven]

i believe the source for the unplugged myths (for 40 series and 50) came from someone with a 30 series that actually wasnt plugged in

[unkempt lake]

Ok then clearly nvidia has nothing to blame themselves for

Following this logic

It can happen to anyone!

[astral haven]

and unlike all the normal cases, every single pin was super burned

[cursive summit]

It was a 7900XTX that melted actually

Your card innit?

[gentle osprey]

Only thing I remember is the 3090s having crazy transient spikes

[astral haven]

ti

[gentle osprey]

Yeah

[unkempt lake]

Oh my moumou

[dull hollow]

xt peaked 350w but usually hangs around 320-345 (not including power spikes)
but having 3x8 pins is nice

[astral haven]

and while it was pain for psus, they didnt often (if ever) burn

[unkempt lake]

I guess 40 and 50 burning doesn't matter anymore

[gentle osprey]

Yeah don’t think I saw any burn

[unkempt lake]

Guys a 7900xtx burned

It can happen to any card

Mystery solved

[cursive summit]

Call me when a 9070XT burns due to a 12V

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I mean even 8pin can burn

[unkempt lake]

Therefore 12vhpwr is great

[astral haven]

it can happen to any card from user error

[unkempt lake]

The issue doesn't matter

[cursive summit]

Nobody said that

[unkempt lake]

It can happen to anyone!

[cursive summit]

Nobody said that either

And we'll see if that's even an issue

[ashen spindle]

you're really just making up an argument none of use made because we dont fully agree with your point

[astral haven]

im happy to say and defend that

[cursive summit]

What's the word for that.. strawman?

[unkempt lake]

Vex is the one who brought up a 7900xtx melting

[cursive summit]

I know a thing or two about strawmanning

[unkempt lake]

Which had nothing to do with the flaws of 12vhpwr

Like it being easier to make user errors with

[balmy vector]

Will yeah, 1 they’re made of straw

[unkempt lake]

And the location of the port on the nitro making it even likelier

[astral haven]

actually that is wrong

[unkempt lake]

You're right, people are so paranoid its impossible

[astral haven]

it was 10x easier to forget to plug in 1 of your 8 pins

the difference is when the user error happens, the issue is not even remotely catastrophic

[unkempt lake]

But then your pc won't boot

[cursive summit]

Connectors melting is not a new thing, has never been a new thing, and likely will always be a thing.
Is 12V on Nvidia's cards melting more often than usual? Quite likely
Are we aware of the core issue? Quite probably
Are AIBs doing their best to rectify it? Yes
Is Nvidia stuffing 600W into a single connector a problem? Yes
Is AMD affected? No idea, we will see

[astral haven]

exactly

if the cable isnt plugged in properly, it shouldnt boot

or if you have a 3x 8 pin card, you can boot with 2 itll just drop power use

perfectly fine very good responses to user error

what isnt ok is doing nothing

[unkempt lake]

Depends on the card

[unkempt lake]

Why do we have 4080s with 320w melting then

[cursive summit]

Boards partners are putting colors on the connector to make sure that they are properly plugged in, I think I read about a magnetic 12V connector that makes sure it's properly in, and we got ATX 3.1 so the standard makers are trying to make it work

Peeps are trying their best to make it work, we'll see if AMD has that issue

Maybe it's just exclusive to Nvidia

Which will be very funny

[gentle osprey]

Is there anything they can do to make it just power off if there’s a loose connection ? And what about running 2x12vhpwr cables

[unkempt lake]

Most still have all black connextors example 12vhpwr from corsair

Only one i know who does this psu wise is MSI

[analog sinew]

seasonic has blue ones

[unkempt lake]

Msi doesn't do it on their whole range

Evga is black

[dull hollow]

thermalright is black

[balmy vector]

Where is blue though

[unkempt lake]

Seasonic

[balmy vector]

Ok then purple

[unkempt lake]

Everyone's just doing whatever they feel like

It's a mess

[marsh pewter]

what about green

[dull hollow]

someone had yellow on their 12

[unkempt lake]

Msi on some models

[gentle osprey]

Red

[balmy vector]

Can’t put green cable into amd card, makes it rethink its life

[unkempt lake]

Red seems like fire we can't use thay the customers will get scared

[gentle osprey]

No that’s good then

If you see red then bad

Get scared

[balmy vector]

Instilled fear

[unkempt lake]

We should add a little lcd with flame effects

Its like a firedrill for your gpu

[balmy vector]

And an overwatch “im on fire!” Line

[gentle osprey]

Just make cards run 3 x 12vhpwr cables

[unkempt lake]

You can practice at home

[gentle osprey]

Then if one melts you have 2 more

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4w_aObRzCc
Here we go. 😄

[marsh pewter]

what if all three melt at the same time

[gentle osprey]

User error

[balmy vector]

Then go with 6 cables

[dull hollow]

thats a lot of cables

[balmy vector]

All of them get 100W

[marsh pewter]

what if all 6 melt

[unkempt lake]

Just do this

[marsh pewter]

PEAK

[balmy vector]

Then we double it and give to the next person

[gentle osprey]

Put two of them

In case one melts

[balmy vector]

Mr beast gpu

[ashen spindle]

anyway here have 2 12v cables to scare people

[gentle osprey]

Yeah the galax cards

[balmy vector]

HDF

[unkempt lake]

Its not halloween yet

[gentle osprey]

Was gonna say wasn’t there a card with two already

Nobody gonna be able to test those tho

They don’t exist

Rare unicorn poop cards

[gentle osprey]

HOF *

[cursive summit]

That does seem like an even bigger fire hazard I'll be honest

[gentle osprey]

That’s why you install two

Bigger number = better

[cursive summit]

Ah so they cancel out? Genius

[balmy vector]

Dont do that youll catch a cold

[marsh pewter]

it’s probably fine

[lyric hatch]

My gpu has a massive 8 pin power connector

[ashen spindle]

yeah but the cable rating never really was the cause of the issues

[unkempt lake]

Anyhow i made my point

stupid decision by sapphire

And when one melts i can say

I told you so

[dull hollow]

isnt the 5090 dangerously close to that with a tdp of 575?

[ashen spindle]

has anyone said it wont be able to melt on sapphires card?

because I dont think anyone said that

[gentle osprey]

I’ll say it

[lyric hatch]

I did see comments that thr 9070 xt doesn't draw enough power to melt the connector

[gentle osprey]

Just for the record

[unkempt lake]

It... does tho... same as a 4080

[balmy vector]

The court will now archive this

[unkempt lake]

Which does have cases of melting

[balmy vector]

For future proceedings

[gentle osprey]

Apparently 5080s melts so 9070xt can too

[ashen spindle]

well do we know that? if they were to take the full 75W from pcie power it would be only like 250W that comes from the cable

what cpu do you have

[simple pilot]

14900kf or ks

[ashen spindle]

can you even cool it lol

[simple pilot]

I have liquid cooling

So ig yes

[ashen spindle]

lol most liquid cooling cant keep it cool at stock settings

[simple pilot]

Mhm i have 360 aio

Shoud be good at all

[gusty kiln]

360 aio is barely enough, maybe a 360 custom loop though

[reef patrol]

Please don't spam several channels.

[ashen spindle]

if you want to do it for fun, read about it and learn basics first

if you want to do it to have more fps, its not worth it

[gentle osprey]

What you mean to say is, social media is a great way to connect with people all over the world at any given moment, but people are just bad in general.

[simple pilot]

Sorry sir

[simple pilot]

I dont understand it at all , my friend have 7800x3d and have more fps like 100 more

[ashen spindle]

what game

and overclocking isnt going to make that much of a difference lol

[simple pilot]

Valorant

[dull hollow]

valorant likes multi core performance more (i think)

[ashen spindle]

yeah the game likes the amd cpus much more, idk if its the cache or something else

[simple pilot]

I play on 1080p

[ashen spindle]

you're not catching up with overlcocking your cpu

[simple pilot]

And have arround 450 to 600fps

I need stable over 540

[dull hollow]

are you gpu bottlenecked?

[simple pilot]

Sadly my 4090 die , i have only 4070ti s

[rough osprey]

lowest settings already?

[ashen spindle]

the gpu is fine but you cpu just isnt going to reach that unless you maybe turn down settings more

[simple pilot]

Yes

[simple pilot]

Alrdy low settings

[ashen spindle]

if you need more fps then you will need a new system because you're not going to get a stable overclock that gives you a lot more

[simple pilot]

[rough osprey]

😔

[simple pilot]

Problem is , need new mobo new cpu and this cost 850€

[ashen spindle]

you could get a 9800x3d and a board for like 700€

but yes, if you dont want to spend the money overclocking isnt going to fix your issue

[simple pilot]

9800x3d cost 500€

[ashen spindle]

plus you would have a lot more stability issues or could break stuff

[simple pilot]

And mobo like 350

[ashen spindle]

I know and a good enough board is like 150€

[simple pilot]

X870e

[crisp granite]

you don't need to spend more on your mobo than your CPU
some people do
they're idiots

and pcie5 is not going to give you a single fps over pcie4 ssds either

[simple pilot]

But i have t705

[crisp granite]

also no real games or anything like that actually can take advantage of PCI-E 5 speeds yet

can barely take advantage of 4

[ashen spindle]

you can run it on pcie4 just fine and it will work the same

[simple pilot]

Hold on

[gusty kiln]

9800X3D sips power, so you don't need an overbuilt VRM

[simple pilot]

My friend have 3080 and 7800x3d and have more franes

[crisp granite]

probably your GPU then

[ashen spindle]

the 14900k in valorant is just far behind amd for some reason

[simple pilot]

4070ti s

[ashen spindle]

the gpu is fine

[crisp granite]

GPU makes the bigger difference unless you're playing CS-GO

[ashen spindle]

its valorant, the gpu is not making a difference

[crisp granite]

well then

also wow people still play that?

either way
a 14900k is still perfect for that game

[simple pilot]

I bought last year 540hz and now i have fps drops

[crisp granite]

it's like those people who get 4090s for league

that shit runs on anything

[ashen spindle]

no he wants higher fps and hes not getting that on his setup

a 14900k just isnt reaching that

[crisp granite]

then get a better CPU...
and a mobo that supports it
doesn't take too much

[unkempt lake]

its the stupid esports gamers who want 500hz

[crisp granite]

gaymers

real gaymers play mince raft at 720p 9000 FPS

[unkempt lake]

On a 60hz monitor

[crisp granite]

amen to that

[ashen spindle]

he already has a monitor so what you think is stupid or not doesnt really matter

[unkempt lake]

But yeah don't try to make sense of that thing

It's a valorant player

[simple pilot]

Stop

[ashen spindle]

you also dont have to reply if you all you want to say is insults you know

[simple pilot]

Be valo shaming

[rough osprey]

chill 😭

[unkempt lake]

I'm just messing around...

[gusty kiln]

turning into that one dude who got banned lol

[unkempt lake]

Are we not allowed to joke about certain games being bad anymore?

[ashen spindle]

"hey guys I need help for more fps " "haha look stupid valo player" isn't very productive

[gusty kiln]

not the game channel

[rough osprey]

you attacking him and not the game

[simple pilot]

We talk get more fps to overclock

[unkempt lake]

The stereotypical valorant player

[crisp granite]

seriously though
you don't need a PCI-E 5 speed SSD nor an interface that supports it
PCI-E 4 is fine
nothing can take advantage of it
you don't need a mobo with integrated waterblock and VRMs enough to ensure your EV can run smoothly
get a good one that supports your CPU

[unkempt lake]

I was making a joke ffs

Just like how people make jokes about league of legends players

[simple pilot]

[gusty kiln]

probably can find a good deal on someone upgrading to a 9800X3D, cheap used 7800X3D and cheap mobo

maybe less than 500 euro

[ashen spindle]

anyway, if you want more fps your best bet is selling you cpu/board and picking up a board and a 7800x3d or 9800x3d

[simple pilot]

If i sell my stuff i get maybe 500€

[unkempt lake]

cheap used 7800x3ds are a thing?

[ashen spindle]

overclocking would maybe get you a few % more but will also cause mroe crashes or other issues

[unkempt lake]

I see them sell used for more than i paid new for mine

[crisp granite]

...you live in the middle of the woods

[unkempt lake]

At that point it's 9800x3d or bust

[unkempt lake]

Ebay

[crisp granite]

that's full of GTA scalpers lol

[unkempt lake]

Pretty sure no one scalps 7800x3ds...

[crisp granite]

but yeah
cheaper to go to kanukhlfucks puters and get a new 9800X3D

[unkempt lake]

It's just they kept their value

The same way old intel cpus did

[gusty kiln]

7800X3D going for 350-400 usd on ebay

not that cheap

[unkempt lake]

Hell @gentle osprey sold his for like 385usd recently

[unkempt lake]

At that point it makes no sense

[gentle osprey]

Yeah 375

couple days ago

[unkempt lake]

Yeah i remember

[crisp granite]

I paid less for mine new...

[unkempt lake]

Same

[crisp granite]

in 2023
iirc

[unkempt lake]

It's just... there's no new ones at that price anymore

So the used ones now sell for that much

[gentle osprey]

Yeah with that sale, I basically paid less than $100 for my 9800X3D

[simple pilot]

Usa cheap

[ashen spindle]

now to wait till everyone realizes the guy talked in € so any USD/CAD prices or stock don't matter

[unkempt lake]

Xddd

[gentle osprey]

Basically

[crisp granite]

thought that was a given
no one speaks in kanukhistani kopek except for Dashi and I

born on the wrong land 💀

[ashen spindle]

also your prices are the same they just dont include sales tax in US prices because its different by each state

[unkempt lake]

moumoucountry

[simple pilot]

Befor i send money for amd i go for oled monitor

[unkempt lake]

Always shocks me that people never understand that

[crisp granite]

most EU countries include VAT in the price you see
so while they seem higher
they do already include taxes

[unkempt lake]

You already have a monitor tho

[crisp granite]

which I wish we had here

[simple pilot]

Not oled

[crisp granite]

can do this

[unkempt lake]

You can't max out your current monitor... you also can't max out your future monitor

[simple pilot]

This is fire

[unkempt lake]

Seems like a dumb idea to buy another monitor you can't max out

Because your pc is still underpowered

[simple pilot]

[ashen spindle]

except he would be able to max it out if he can hit 500fps but not 540

[gentle osprey]

Not cursed at all

[gusty kiln]

valorant from 1080p to 1440p is almost no perf loss

[gentle osprey]

Reminds me of Karen from Spongebob

older but should still be the same

[crisp granite]

it's an F:NV reference

that and fingerpenises

[unkempt lake]

49inch monitor gang

[gentle osprey]

Been awhile since I touched that so don't remember

[lyric hatch]

Na I bought a 1440p 165hz monitor in 2015 lasted a long time before I replaced it even if my gpu couldn't handle it in a lot of games it was still a good investment

[crisp granite]

my monitor is bigger than yours 🤭

[unkempt lake]

It's 49 inches

Same as mine

[crisp granite]

shush

my ego is bigger than yours
