@reef patrol

[reef patrol]

I'm referring to the bricking

[unkempt lake]

theres a hotfix

no issues on 20 series with the hotfix

[unkempt lake]

prob just needs to boot off the igpu and ddu

[pale sigil]

This is after the hotfix afaik?

[unkempt lake]

doubt

[plush stirrup]

That’s kinda how my 3090 performed when some of it’s core power components failed 🤣

[unkempt lake]

Its just the card reporting the wrong temp and throttling if you have your fans managed by msi ab or asus armory crate or whatever

Literally what got fixed w the hotfix

Nvidia sucks but at least can we criticize them for factually accurate things?

Instead of random reddit posts with absolutely 0 substance or details?

If multiple users report a problem sure but just one dude being like CARD DED

[reef patrol]

DOOR STUCK DOOR STUCK

[unkempt lake]

30 series sucked reliability wise anyways, random crap would cause them to just kinda fucking die xD

[plush stirrup]

Haven’t looked into it, just mentioned mine looked similar

I’m already on a used 7900xtx because my new one broke after like 3 months, so instead of new I get used due to warranty, I honestly want my nvidia card back 🤣

[steady sail]

how did u broke a 79xtx?

[unkempt lake]

Refurbished is basically new...

And statistically refurbished products have a less likely chance of having a defect

Literally doesn't matter

[plush stirrup]

Well I’m without 7900xtx again because the one I got didn’t have an rpm sensor

It didn’t show me the values, fan speed was stuck at 100% when gaming, I had to put it in quiet mode which felt like ~75% fan speed or like 3000rpm for 3 fans

[unkempt lake]

That you can blame asrock for, they're notoriously shit at repairs xD

[plush stirrup]

I didn’t it just started having driver crashes + the fan started rattling

[unkempt lake]

Like genuinely i would never buy a gpu from asrock

[steady sail]

how do u make the driver crash

[plush stirrup]

I mean they’re still better than the webshop "no defects were found"

[plush stirrup]

... using it?

[unkempt lake]

Can be anything failing really

[plush stirrup]

Twice per day it crashed sometimes, but it could also be once every 2 weeks

[steady sail]

never get a single driver crash on amd card

i had more driver crash on nivea

[plush stirrup]

Well mine was defective soooo

[unkempt lake]

Because yours isn't... defective?

Could be anything causing it really

[steady sail]

[plush stirrup]

It’s funny because my 3090 which couldn’t maintain clock speed due to not getting enough power due to failed components didn’t even crash drivers xD

[unkempt lake]

Only driver crash i had this year was a known ff7 rebirth bug which would cause the driver to crash if you played it dor 7 hours straight

I think they just wanted me to take a break

Damn corporations trying to make sure i take a break to eat

😡

[plush stirrup]

My amd crashed after ~4h of cs2

[unkempt lake]

Then uh... last year there was a bug with helldivers and ssao when on but... just turn it off and it was fine

Thats it for the 2 years i had my xtx

2 known issues

[unkempt lake]

Never saw that

[plush stirrup]

Someone else said asrock cards crash on cs2 or at least theirs did aswell

But I’m not gonna stop messaging until I have a working card

[umbral heron]

ASrock
AMD
XTX
No crashes in CS2 at all

[plush stirrup]

here

but I'm not going to be limiting anything as a workaround, for something that cost 1000eur, they either fix it, or pay me back

[analog sinew]

be me

[umbral heron]

Okay

[analog sinew]

woah i am now femboy

[plush stirrup]

ayo

[steady sail]

[umbral heron]

[gusty kiln]

Asrock have pretty good gpu rma of you haven't tried that yet

[plush stirrup]

Oh I have 🙂 they're shipping the 2nd replacement today or tomorrow 😛

can't complain about their willingness to help, their support being knowledgeable is one reason I picked asrock

[gusty kiln]

Yeah they are tier 2 AMD aib and relatively new to the gpu space. So they are actually making an effort to gain market share.

Think they also make intel gpu, so they aren't in the sapphire/xfx/powercolor club

[unkempt lake]

I'll say the main bad things i heard were about asrock north america

No idea about europe

[frozen ingot]

they had a bad reputation in the early days but now its not too bad

doubt they much worse than other big brands now, they all have issues with bad batches or design flaws on occasion

[plush stirrup]

I mean the first rma they gave me it was just too loud and didn't show rpm speed, I can see something like that be overlooked especially when doing (automated?) benchmarking on multiple cards you won't hear the noise

I mean asrock even provided me with the serial number of the card so I know if the webshop swapped it or not (I have trust issues towards them :P)

On another note my ISP broke their upload speed limit on 5G should be 20Mbps 😆

[gusty kiln]

Man I've been on 1gig symmetrical for years now, can't imagine having those speeds now

[plush stirrup]

I have 250 down 20 up at home

I can get gigabit down 40 up but same 3TB limit and costs me 20eur/m extra

Once fiber gets here I can get 8.5gbps up and down

[unkempt lake]

imagine having fiber

[plush stirrup]

My network is only capable of 2.5gbps so no need to get higher, or is there 😇

I wish!

[unkempt lake]

I get 550 down/50 up

coax

Best i can get

[plush stirrup]

Coax here aswell best I can get is 1000/40 iirc

1000/40 is 78EUR/m and 3TB limit between 17:00 and 23:59 -> + they have limited people before, at will once their capacity went low to 10Mbps

If you go over the 3TB you get put on 20Mbps down 2Mbps up, with my 250 down 20 up subscription it's 10 down 1 up

[unkempt lake]

funny thing is... i work for an isp but i can't get free employee internet because our lines stop... 1 street away from mine

[plush stirrup]

Here ISP's got a monopoly if you work for one it's likely it's available everywhere, which means gigabit is pretty much everywhere but also means only 1 real option

The real unlimited option for me is 70Mbps VDSL but last time I used that the ISP accused me of getting an abuse report on a dynamic IP which was impossible to get for me at the time right before that incident I did get a real one though

They even used caps in that 2nd abuse report something along the lines of "ONE MORE" very professional 🤣 that was business internet with static IP, my current ISP doesn't do much against abuse, for business customers they even ignore it 🤣 which sadly I'm not

(Fyi the legit abuse report was handled within 24h, because I don't want any malicious things comming from my network, sadly I don't live alone and iirc it was something on my brother's PC)

[steady sail]

ah yes

[nimble arch]

This is what I'm stuck with at home

Certainly worse is possible I guess

This is my mobile phone speed

Lol 5g

[minor citrus]

haha, this just made me notice that I get more upload speed with my phone than on my coax line

[plush stirrup]

Same here, about 6x faster 😭

download speed is also double since they seem to have removed the limitations

I HOPE YOU ||have a very nice evening :3||

[umbral heron]

Upgrading to 8000/2500 later this year
It'll be way more costly to upgrade to 10G than it was to 2.5G

[marsh pewter]

why so greedy?

what do you need all that internet for?

https://tenor.com/view/mistwol-cat-his-greed-will-consume-him-eating-silly-gif-14271929065765266047

[umbral heron]

I dunno, but it'll be few euros cheaper when bundled with my phone plan

And good network gear will last forever
I still have Cisco switch from 2007 that works great

Just have to find some nice AP/router with one 10G WAN and one 10G LAN port, getting 10G switch will be easier

[ashen spindle]

think the asus wifi7 spider has that

[nimble arch]

Ubiquiti!

[ashen spindle]

only like 600€

[umbral heron]

[nimble arch]

Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Fiber

[umbral heron]

I found TP-Link for ~400€

[nimble arch]

It's £230

[ashen spindle]

unifi APs arent a great choice until they are out for long since I think the wifi7 AP took a few weeks or months after launch to actuality support wifi7

[umbral heron]

Well, plus SFP+ thingy

[ashen spindle]

but also just a good idea to wait till you get the 8gig connection bc newer stuff is still coming out

[umbral heron]

+60€ from Ubiquity

[umbral heron]

Yeah, it'll be like 4 more months or so until my current contract ends

[ashen spindle]

wifi8 is still far out so seeing whatever wifi7 devices at the time make sense will be quite long lasting

high speed network and even good wifi, what a rare chance xD

[umbral heron]

I don't really care about wifi, I only use it on my phone and Steam Deck

There's CAT6 lying everywhere

[ashen spindle]

well, even for steam deck, future steam decks, VR or anything it's really nice to have solid wifi

gigbit wifi is really neat if you can make use of it

[umbral heron]

[gusty kiln]

Intel ER was today

[ashen spindle]

my prediction before from before

and so far its true

but who cares, hearing lip bu on call will be more important

[gusty kiln]

[pale sigil]

He’s enforcing more return to office days, that’s not something that will make people happy

[gusty kiln]

Yeah that's not great got moral

[balmy vector]

wanna share?

[marsh pewter]

yeah can I get some too?

[unkempt lake]

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-23/nintendo-says-demand-for-switch-2-console-in-japan-overwhelming

Switch 2 may be the best selling launch of all time

[frozen ingot]

and this is why videogames will be $150 in 5 years

humanity is fucked

[unkempt lake]

Everything will be more expensive in 5 years just like everything is more expensive than it was 5 years ago

Funny little thing called inflation

[frozen ingot]

nah this shit got nothing to do with inflation

[unkempt lake]

Last 5 years have been hyper inflationary

[fickle ore]

why go doomer over videogames lmao

[frozen ingot]

tru gaming sucks these days anyways

[fickle ore]

waa waa cant buy my videogame, humanity fked

[unkempt lake]

Literally just inflation

You're just having a BACK IN MY DAY A SODA WAS 10 CENTS moment

[frozen ingot]

am not pissed I can't buy it or that its too expensive for me, I'm just fed up because corpobros keep doing us dirtier and dirtier and the majority of people be like oh yeah harder daddy charge me more

consoomers can't make a stand for shit and that's why we all get what we deserve

[fickle ore]

u can stop buy if its too expensive, subjective inflation is adjustable by you

[frozen ingot]

I can but nobody else does so they'll just keep pushing it further and further

[unkempt lake]

Generally wages are approx 5 years behind inflation

It's just part of being a capitalist society

Stuff doesn't get cheaper

I mean look at groceries lol

[frozen ingot]

I could somewhat see the motivation for $80 on a game like gta6 but on nintendos 9000th copypasta of mario kart? gtfo lmao

[unkempt lake]

Can also just buy it with the console... for a quite steep discount

[ashen spindle]

the only reason we can afford that games stayed at 60 for so long was dlc/ingame items, but people arent ready to hear that reality

[frozen ingot]

I mean there's still full featured games being released new for below 60

[ashen spindle]

rare and usually for a reason and I cant think of any atm

[fickle ore]

every system including capitalism must have inflation, otherwise currency adds value over time and trading is disincentivized

[unkempt lake]

from smaller studios with lesser production costs

Who generally rely on gamepass and subcription services

Morenthan actual sales

[ashen spindle]

or grants from epic or similar

[unkempt lake]

70cad/50usd when bought alongside the console

[frozen ingot]

and more often then not they're much better games than what the triple A slop factories put out

[ashen spindle]

well if you prefer them what does the AAA price matter to you if you dont buy it

[unkempt lake]

Depends on the genres you like

[fickle ore]

For some reason game makers are paid top $. They could be paid less too like cleaners

People do not need to buy games at all

[ashen spindle]

game makers are paid top $
best joke I hear all year

[frozen ingot]

I mean everyone hates on these games for how uninspired or sloppy they are these days but the very same people keep buying the next game over and over incentivising more bad practices

anyways am just shouting into the void and people won't change

[unkempt lake]

Also reminds me of people being like I want restaurant employees to be paid better, prices increase, the same people that were supporting a raise are then like omg not like this

people talk in principle that gave xyz employee should be paid more but get annoyed that products end up costing more

[fickle ore]

Im fine with game makers get paid less so I can get my games at 20-30$

[unkempt lake]

But then no one will want to do the job xD

[frozen ingot]

pay the devs more and the publishers/upper management less

[gusty kiln]

congratulations no game now

[frozen ingot]

but since upper management handles the payouts... fat chance

[fickle ore]

Yes they will, all cleaners will switch because office job >> cleaning

[ashen spindle]

you do realize, the gaming industry is some of the lowest paying indusrty already?

[fickle ore]

good joke keke, ur paid min wage?

[unkempt lake]

The corporate stuff is where the money's at

[ashen spindle]

devs that write engines could do easier work at meta for 5x the salary and this is not a exaggeration

[frozen ingot]

why would they need to write an engine just use UE5 bro

[fickle ore]

slap some cryengine and ductape

[ashen spindle]

because juniors/mid level devs make even more so it would be a more than 5x pay increase to go to work on AWS containers lol

[fickle ore]

Not everyoen can work in mag7 tbh

everyones cutting now

[fickle ore]

with the way games been lately it wouldnt be big difference tbh xD

[ashen spindle]

people continue saying that and I have more fun playing games every year xD

[frozen ingot]

idk I still find gems I like and spend a lot of time playing but they get fewer and longer between

down to like one or two games a year tops that sticks

[unkempt lake]

that's also just called getting old

Having less time to dedicate to hobbies

[frozen ingot]

finding time is easier than the motivation to spend hours in a game nowadays to me

but yes I've literally been gaming since the late 80s, seen just about every genre and big franchise rise and sometimes fall and played hundreds and hundreds of games

finding anything that's new and fresh is difficult

[balmy tendon]

I just got a woothing 80he and everything was nice and fine then my keys stopped working specially the enter, backspace, and escape key. What should I do?

[somber coral]

my ram rma finally came

[unkempt lake]

The 64gb was defective at first?

[somber coral]

my dumbass ordered 2 32x2 kits, but then they sent ram kits that were unstable anyways so I just rmaed

[unkempt lake]

no shit... you can't run 4x32 and expect them to be stable

[somber coral]

no i used them 2x32 and 2x32 and one of them was still unstable

or both of the idr

either way i rmaed and they sent out 64gb so we're chilling now

[unkempt lake]

Hold up there are we talking about the 7700x build

[somber coral]

nah

[unkempt lake]

Ok

[somber coral]

its my pc

7700x case and psu arent even here yet

[unkempt lake]

Ooo

[somber coral]

i mean the cpu bundle is here now

[dull hollow]

@somber coral which oled did you buy

[somber coral]

alienware 2527qd or smth

[unkempt lake]

I sent him a good open box deal the other day

[dull hollow]

ah

[hoary mist]

hi this isnt normal right

[ashen spindle]

idk what "this" is

[hoary mist]

[hoary mist]

the chart

did it not load for u

internet

mbps

[ashen spindle]

yes what is it not supposed to be

[hoary mist]

task manager > performance > wifi

is it supposed to have those spikes

[ashen spindle]

idk what you are doing

[hoary mist]

this is bad wifi right

[ashen spindle]

no

[hoary mist]

what does yours look like

[hoary mist]

oh

[ashen spindle]

if you dont have like a 100gb game that takes minutes to download why would it not be spiky if you do nothing but download small things at a time

[hoary mist]

idk ive been trying to launch my rainbow six siege for the past few days and it wont launch

the error code it gives me is wifi related but nothing seems to be wrong with it

[somber coral]

[analog sinew]

sure but am5 doesnt rly need one unless you do direct die or sth

[unkempt lake]

You don't need one

[umbral heron]

Yup, it's more fiddling than any gain

[somber coral]

Alr I’ll just get one for my pc then

[unkempt lake]

Not worth it for a 13600k lol

Stop wasting munz :)

[somber coral]

It’s like 10$

I also hate cleaning the thermal paste when I replace it

[unkempt lake]

Yeah but its wasted time and mo gains

[unkempt lake]

Use ptm7950

[somber coral]

When I run out I will use that

Still got enough for my brothers pc tho

I’m scared my brother will replace paste and short his mobo tho

[umbral heron]

Thermal paste does not short electronics
You'd have to look specifically for conductive thermal paste
Or use liquid metal

[somber coral]

What if I am using Liquid Metal am I cooked

[umbral heron]

No, but if you are using liquid metal on IHS and not directly on die you are a moron

[somber coral]

Hey

Anyone here in the TV Game looking for a new one but I don’t wanna spend to much lmao. Not looking for some fancy TV OS bullshit wanna keep using my Apple TV and for sound my Sonos system. Currently thinking about the Samsung Q80D but idk

[nimble arch]

Depends on what you want to use it for and/or want to spend? An OLED or QD-OLED is going to look better, even for streamed media, but you'll also get LG webOS or an Android-based platform such as Google TV.

[little valley]

Honestly no clue OLED Qled whatever.
I don’t really watch TV whatsoever just want something new if watching some series or movies I was thinking about getting something with decent refresh rate might play from time to time on it and my current TV with 60hz kills me

I don’t like this whole smart tv stuff tbh that’s why i didn’t buy any new tv in the past but i guess 1080p LCD is more then dead🤣

Just wanted to make sure 🙂 so they don't look for a random site, or maybe I could learn new site.
Though I did see rtings has a VPN review now, that scares me, since for other products rtings usually takes into account history (eg. breaks easily, etc), I wonder if they'll do it for VPN's.

I’m so bored in science I’ve resorted to learning python

[topaz fog]

lovely!

[balmy vector]

i shoulod get into more coding projects now that i think of it

maybe learn C

[marsh pewter]

learn assembly

[balmy vector]

lmao

[trim crane]

I would love a 9080M framework module for the Framework 16 ngl

[halcyon moss]

Only 16gb 😦

[trim crane]

That would make me get a laptop in a heartbeat

[fair gull]

bad heidi bad. encourage them to learn a good language

[topaz fog]

there arent any

[reef patrol]

Did someone say PHP?

[topaz fog]

but no genuinely thats the most wholesome message ive seen all week YOU GOT THIS EATHAN

[ashen spindle]

false, c# is good, for the simple reason it has very good documentation and does what it should do

anything can work as long as it has good documentation and you dont need to guess imo

[topaz fog]

i used to like c# but i havent used it in so long

[halcyon moss]

Python is a sane language at least

[thick elk]

I should write more code sometime but hard to not distract myself when I do.
Then again same goes for most things in my spare time.

Also glad I know enough bash to know writing longer things in it is generally a bad idea.

bash / shell that is.

[fair gull]

no

[marsh pewter]

in what world?

[halcyon moss]

More sane than js, ts, c, cpp, php

It isn't fast. But it is sane

It's also "fast enough" and has been for 20 years

[ashen spindle]

depends how you define sane, I dont think whitespace languages are sane xD

[halcyon moss]

Ugh... Really that argument.

You indent anyway

[ashen spindle]

yeah but different stlyes and I can still read it and I can read it no matter how its formatted if I look at something not in an ide etc.

[halcyon moss]

Wat?

[crimson wigeon]

Not having to specify types makes it difficult to figure out what I can and can not do. Yeah laugh all you want that I rely on autocomplete, but fact is it makes it really easy to see what functions are available

[ashen spindle]

I can read it regardless how someone prefers to use their style and format it is what I mean

[crimson wigeon]

Yes I know there is optional typing. Now find a single library that actually has types like that

[halcyon moss]

Type hints indeed

[ashen spindle]

or if its like a code I should look at when someone copies it into discord I can read that easier when theres not just indentation telling me what goes where

[halcyon moss]

Such a weird edge case

[ashen spindle]

I just dont think theres any benefit to it

[halcyon moss]

As almost every platform support markdown

[covert ravine]

$800 💀

[marsh pewter]

worth

[covert ravine]

💀

[wild coyote]

Does that come with a 10 year warranty?

😭

[covert ravine]

Nah, it comes with a "if it breaks, you're shit out of luck"

That's such a wild thing to see on an app. Resale price too bwahahaha

Slapped "custom built" in the title to really sell it

[wild coyote]

I'll do that with however much it costs + 50 euros

[covert ravine]

Some dumbass gonna buy it too :(

[dull hollow]

if only i could sell my old pc for that much

[covert ravine]

Immediately dropped it to 600

They faking a sale now

OMG THEY REMOVED THE PHOTO OF THE SPECS

Oh nvm, this a diff guy

This is like a 8x better build for $200 less, wild

[plush stirrup]

it has rgb worth it (/s obviously)

[somber coral]

Is two alex drawers and a countertop still meta for a big desk? i want my two monitor setup back

[somber coral]

i used to have a spare 3060ti lmao

im sorry why is the cable 80$

wtf

[dull hollow]

cause its coiled ezpz

[somber coral]

ts better be made out of adamantium

[dull hollow]

just get other ones then :v

[reef patrol]

1. It's optional if you want a coiled cable
2. That's what a high quality, long coiled cable costs

[somber coral]

is there any option for just black cable that my 60he will work with

[reef patrol]

The cable the keyboard comes with.

[somber coral]

but its yellow and black i want a pure black

[reef patrol]

Then. No.

[somber coral]

._.

[ashen spindle]

just a regular usb cable will do

[somber coral]

nah 60he pulls a lot of power no?

Grab a quality data cable from Anker or something similar.

Keep it at 2m or lower.

[somber coral]

is there any benefit of it being coiled versus straight?

[ashen spindle]

yeah its only an issue if you get cheap crap or super long ones that are not high quality

looks only

[marsh pewter]

it looks cool

[ashen spindle]

(if you prefer it, I think its ugly lol)

[somber coral]

oh W totally worth then

ok wooting price seems like a bargain compared to whatever this is

[reef patrol]

It's not about raw power. It's about signal integrity at length.

Too much noise and you get glitchy keeb.

built for mechanical keybnoard 🔥

[covert ravine]

You're fkin joking!??!??

[somber coral]

to be fair it is 800$ on amazon

too bad its 350$ from wooting

[covert ravine]

Ye some cuck posted it on there prolly

💀

Wait there's so many at like $500-$800

This is insane, am I missing out on money??? 🤣

[marsh pewter]

sell your wooting for 600 dollars and then buy another wooting and profit

[somber coral]

balls of pure steel bruh

[fair gull]

tbf if you have the patience that the people who buy them at those prices dont... go for it

[iron wave]

Why is this in the wrong language?

[somber coral]

i have no apps open

[ashen spindle]

click on cpu to sort by cpu usage

[dull hollow]

valorant sometimes doesnt close properly

[somber coral]

Why would it take 100% of my pc

Also why is it taking forever tos shut down

I just want to restart my pc

[ashen spindle]

because your pc is trying to do something else first

and its taking 100% because its trying to stop the running process which is running into an issue

if it doesnt shut down just hard reset by holding the power button I guess

[somber coral]

I just repasted the cpu, could that be an issue? I made sure all of the cpu was covered tho

[ashen spindle]

unlikely

but check temperatures

I guess if its thermal throttling maybe its downclocking hardcore and makes everything slow but shouldnt be like this

[somber coral]

why are we at 60c and 70c with 4 apps open

[dull hollow]

its not that bad

[somber coral]

wtf is eating up my cpu

[dull hollow]

everything adding up

[somber coral]

26+6 does not equal 38 bruh

no way theres enough processes at 0.5 or smth to take up 6%

[ashen spindle]

task manager percentages are estimates not accurate readings

temps, idk some cards disable fans untill they hit 70c and try to keep it there for lower noise for example

also no clue what your hardware is so idk if the temps look fine or not

also doesnt matter if its 4 apps or 5 million if 1 of them is a game that fully loads the gpu

[somber coral]

aw wait wtf

[dull hollow]

skill issue

[somber coral]

ok basicallyt whenever i press alt r my mouse starts a two second delay

and also im only getting like 260 fps

in a tdm.

[ashen spindle]

if everything worked before you reseated your cpu do that again I suppose

[dull hollow]

average intel price to performance

[somber coral]

i didnt even reseat

i just took the cooler off, took the fan off, cleaned everything, repasted

[somber coral]

i have a 9070xt there should be no bottleneck

[dull hollow]

[ashen spindle]

valorant isnt gpu limited so your gpu wont matter much

[somber coral]

bro it didnt even record

[ashen spindle]

also still dont know what cpu it is, also the other options is try and limit the fps you get to like idk 120 and see if it works

[somber coral]

13600kf

[ashen spindle]

defender is generally the best option to have these days

[somber coral]

isent window antivirus like decent

[ashen spindle]

yes

[somber coral]

i mean i can reseat my cpu and everything, but 3 of my fans broke and my performance was literally bnetter then im pretty sure

[ashen spindle]

anyway go set a fps cap and see if it still gives issues, could just be the cpu being fully loaded causing it all and you need a frame cap to fix it

[plush stirrup]

I saw someone sell a galaxy watch 2 active here for 100eur, for comparison, a sealed galaxy watch 7 (that still gets updates... because it's way newer) sells for the same price 🥲

[somber coral]

Cpu usage arnd 40% gpu arnd 30%

[ashen spindle]

usage isnt relevant

it tells you noting

[somber coral]

at a 360 capim still getting 240 fps ina gunfight 270 normally

[unkempt lake]

why

your temps were fine

[ashen spindle]

yes thats why I said set it to like 120 or something, it has to be lower than what you get to make a difference obviously

[somber coral]

because i havent repasted in a year or smth

[unkempt lake]

so what?

[somber coral]

and also i wanted to take the fan off the cpu cooler to clean it

[unkempt lake]

You don't need to repaste yearly

[somber coral]

yeah but it was already open and exposed

[covert ravine]

It caught any program without a paid publisher

[unkempt lake]

didn't need to take the heatsink off

[covert ravine]

[somber coral]

my fatass cant take the fan off without taking the entire heatsink off

[unkempt lake]

Also i gave you suggestions to check what the issue was and you're just doing random shit

[covert ravine]

[ashen spindle]

also no need to take the fan off at all when temps and noise are fine

[somber coral]

the heatsink was dusty asf

[ashen spindle]

hold the fan still and use compressed air

[covert ravine]

Electric duster

[unkempt lake]

woosh woosh canned air

[somber coral]

my datavac didnt do shit

[covert ravine]

Fork

[pale sigil]

I need to replace my CPU fan.....

[unkempt lake]

Those things suck ass

[somber coral]

i used compressed air too

[unkempt lake]

Use a can of compressed air

[somber coral]

the dust that gathers on my pc is unable to be blown away

[covert ravine]

My duster makes my room into a tornado, shits strong

[somber coral]

30 new diseases unlocedk

[unkempt lake]

I think you worry too much about dust

[pale sigil]

Poor CPU was at 65c idle because it has just a single fan to cool down a huge heat sink

[ashen spindle]

if your temps are fine and the dust isnt even moving with compressed air or a cleaner, it doesnt need to be removed lol

[pale sigil]

Hoover, what I used to do was have the tube nearby.

[unkempt lake]

Was it thermal throttling?

[pale sigil]

Not inside just nearby

[pale sigil]

Fuck knows, I just don't like seeing 65c 😂

[covert ravine]

Ngl that whits prolly caked on there. Wouldn't be surprised if his room is moist

[pale sigil]

Before it was 35c idle

[covert ravine]

🧴

[unkempt lake]

y my oblivion no workies >:(

[somber coral]

idk my room is pretty dry

[unkempt lake]

cpu at 105c throttling

[pale sigil]

My GPU seems to be getting really hot too

[covert ravine]

Skill issue

[pale sigil]

Well no

Fans kick in

At idle I have them at 5%

Or did

Now it's one less fan

[somber coral]

my cpu is at 65c with valorant discord and opera open

[ashen spindle]

yes that is normal

[somber coral]

gpu is at 50c

[unkempt lake]

For a 13600k its fine

[pale sigil]

My GPU was 75c with oblivion but not surprised

[somber coral]

shouldnt i be getting more fps then ._.

[unkempt lake]

no

Your temperature doesn't matter

[somber coral]

i mean ig as long as no thermal throttle

[pale sigil]

Dashi

Do you remember the fans I was gonna buy for my server

[unkempt lake]

callum

[pale sigil]

I forgot XD

[unkempt lake]

Yes

[ashen spindle]

yes your fps should probably be higher in valorant with that setup

[pale sigil]

Nvm p12

[ashen spindle]

but its not because of the temps that its not

[somber coral]

what are posisble causes then

yes

[ashen spindle]

oh wait I misread no 240 is absolutely the expected average

so your fps is what people get with that cpu in valorant

[somber coral]

already did

[somber coral]

so i have to upgrade my cpu ._.

[unkempt lake]

You don't

[pale sigil]

Near, just ordered one, same day delivery baby

[somber coral]

if I want 360fps+ what can i do then

at 1440p\

[ashen spindle]

if you want a ton more fps in valorant you need to switch to amd cpus basically

[pale sigil]

Probably won't install it for a month though

[unkempt lake]

9800x3d

[somber coral]

yeah i know, meaning a new mobo and probably ram sincei m on ddr4

[unkempt lake]

Yes

[somber coral]

so i have to upgrade my cpu

/ram/mobo

[unkempt lake]

No

Because 240hz is fine

It won't make you be better

[somber coral]

but i bought a 360hz

[somber coral]

placebo is placebo

[ashen spindle]

it wont make him better but its nicer to play at

[pale sigil]

Wait, quin.

[somber coral]

exactly

thats a whole 120hz i might maybe notice

[pale sigil]

If I put a 3 pin for my CPU with a 4 pin connected to the same splitter will that be fine

[unkempt lake]

I thought you just wanted an oled

But no you wanted to waste your money to plqy valorant

[somber coral]

that, but that oled is also 360hz

[unkempt lake]

-.-

[somber coral]

why not make the most of it

[ashen spindle]

why are you always so hellbent on not letting people enjoy more than minimum if they have the hardware and want to spend money on it

[pale sigil]

Or do I need both to be pwn

[somber coral]

fair enough

[ashen spindle]

its very simple, do you have the money and want to spend more on something thats not a massive but small upgrade? then upgrade, simpler as that

[pale sigil]

Xd

[unkempt lake]

i need a 5090 for my 5120x1440p 240hz monitor!!!!

[ashen spindle]

4 pin is 144w I think? so doesnt matter if you dont go massively above that

[somber coral]

im ngl i think i bought the cheapest good oled

idk ill upgrade to am5 at some point any ways

[pale sigil]

AI says you can't control the fans

[unkempt lake]

shove the ai up your ass

[pale sigil]

Cancelling the order XD, I need my fans to be silent unless I reach certain temps.

[unkempt lake]

You can

[ashen spindle]

oh are you talking fan connectors, thought you meant 4 pin power lol

[unkempt lake]

i literally have one of my noctuas that's non pwm and it works fine

I can set fan curves in my bios

No issue there

[pale sigil]

The rpm can't be read no?

[unkempt lake]

It can

[pale sigil]

For an extra £1.20 surely it's better to just get pwn

[ashen spindle]

I mean, I was considering dual 4090 while just having uwqhd ¯_(ツ)_/¯ if only mGPU would be a wider support

[unkempt lake]

Sli frametimes flashback

[ashen spindle]

mgpu isnt sli

[unkempt lake]

i know

But you made sli pop into my mind

[somber coral]

is it worth it paying 200$ to upgrade to a 14900k or should i just get am5 at this point

am6 better be good

expensive too

[unkempt lake]

lol

[somber coral]

R9 7950x3d is better then 9800x3d right? or am i tripping

[unkempt lake]

no

not for gaming

[somber coral]

oh its like a bit slower

[pale sigil]

I need to clean my desktop

[somber coral]

but 7950x3d has more number then 9800x3d

[unkempt lake]

you what what's the best gpu ever?

the xfx rx 7900xtx

[somber coral]

ryzen 4070

[unkempt lake]

so many x's

more x more better

[somber coral]

ryzen 4070 best gpu

[ashen spindle]

No am6 is still like 3-5 years off

[unkempt lake]

x is a gamer letter

[ashen spindle]

Next gen is still am5

[somber coral]

would a 7800x3d get 360fps?

[ashen spindle]

Zen6 is coming next year

[unkempt lake]

im not installing ccp malware

[somber coral]

too late

[unkempt lake]

@somber coral https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2PlpbJWTdg

just do this funny stuff

[somber coral]

huh

[unkempt lake]

free 360hz

mess around with your hardware a little

[somber coral]

wheres the part he like

ok

bro aint no way the upgrade to a 9800x3d is 1k

we count is at 750 since i sell my cpu and ram

[unkempt lake]

or you can learn how to tweak your current hardware a little

[somber coral]

or i can go buy new parts cuz bigger number = better performance (jk imma just tweak hardware)

i mean ill upgrade at some point but ill tweak some stuff first

[pale sigil]

Transformers? Xd

[somber coral]

https://www.facebook.com/share/12MX1ehyJwu/ heres who was selling the 80he for 550$ btw

[somber coral]

dashi if i were to buy a 7800x3d for my brother would 450 (including tax) be a good price

[unkempt lake]

450 yes

including taxes

that's good

[somber coral]

what if it was a used for 450

[unkempt lake]

see it working before you buy

but if you want to save some money sure why not

[somber coral]

or i just buy it for myself since i think mhw is a mainly gpu game

idk we shall see

[covert ravine]

It's pretty graphic intensive, si

[somber coral]

yeah thats why he got 7700x (also to save some money), but seeing as how I play a really cpu intensive game mostly Im considering it

[covert ravine]

Am using 7950x

[somber coral]

are pcie retention clips universal btw? if my brother bends one off can I just get one off aliexpress or smth

[dull hollow]

two alex drawers and an aditional leg?

[somber coral]

what do you mean high

[digital cliff]

this one will be wobbly and bendy even you fill the entire underside with legs

get a wooden top if it's for a PC setup

[somber coral]

it says its wooden

[digital cliff]

it does not

it's cardboard

[digital cliff]

well go ahead and buy it if you don't believe me

[somber coral]

any alternatives then? im looking for at least 180x60cm

[digital cliff]

yes, wooden top

not cardboard

i have that one and the entire top weighs probably a kilo or two

it's hdf with a cardboard core

so technically it's made of wood but so is toilet paper but you don't call toilet paper wood

it's not good for any load (monitors, a PC if you want to put it on top)

[somber coral]

ok whats an alternative?

[digital cliff]

well something that is actually wood, idk

ikea doesn't seem to sell any

go to a hardware store and have em chop off a piece of countertop for you

no idea what's available to you but home improvement stores should have wooden countertop at hand and a sawing service

walnut, oak, birch, beach (yuck) in order of expensive to cheap, any would work

26mm if you want a middle leg and 40mm if you want to span the 1800 by just supporting it with a couple drawers at the end

[somber coral]

[digital cliff]

you'd need to butt up two since only 12in wide

but sure, acacia can be nice

[somber coral]

30cm is good for me lmao

My current desk is 20 or smth

But two Alex drawers an a leg in the middle?

[lone dune]

If i was u man i would buy a Fully Jarvis Desk from herman miller Expensive but adjustable

[somber coral]

Idgaf about adjustablility, I don’t work all day and I have an adjustable desk right now, I only move it on accident.

[lone dune]

Ah lol

[reef patrol]

IKEA definitely sells actual wood tops.

(but also those cardboard core ones)

They're just very pricey

[nimble arch]

I believe the kitchen counters are actually wood

But the desks are the cheap frap

[digital cliff]

what

that's barely enough for a keyboard

whree you gonna put your monitor

a mousepad by itself is larger in that direction too

[leaden kiln]

my cheapo ikea desk has been fine, seems like their desks are rated for 50kg total
should be fine especially if you use one of the leg structures with a beam, or an extra support leg on their bigger desks

wooden desk is definitely nicer, though I don't think a desk from Ikea is gonna just break unless you have like 10 monitors

[reef patrol]

If the dimensions don't match, you don't want to buy the cardboard core boards. They cannot be cut to size.

Go to a wood market and grab something that fits the dimensions and/or ask them to cut it to size.

[nimble arch]

I had something cut to size for my Bekant frame

Can’t say I’m a huge fan of IKEA’s standing desks though

If anybody is after something like that

[wheat plume]

🤔

Why does Bazzite think I have a Graphics Tablet?

[reef patrol]

Go ask the Bazzite support team.

[ashen spindle]

It tells you in the picture…

[wheat plume]

it doesnt really...

[reef patrol]

Again. Go complain to the Bazzite devs if anyone.

[ashen spindle]

yeah it does tell you

[umbral heron]

Laptop?

With touchscreen

[wheat plume]

🤔 does it think the Deck itself is a graphics tablet?

[umbral heron]

Well, it's a touchscreen after all

[ashen spindle]

we dont know what you are using it on, what is connected nor how the os would interpret things if it only has limited info and tries to guess what it is

or as usual could just ask google and seems common enough that even the google ai can link to it

[hasty surge]

Does anyone have any experience with the Keris II ace? I was planning to buy the viper v3 pro but wanted to see if there are better options in terms of shape and quality since the overall mouse experience will be similar in terms of performance in the high end category

What about the mousepad, I’m so confused, hybrid/hard/soft from razer

And no I can’t get the artisan ones, those are very very expensive for me considering the custom charges

my desk is L153.04 cm x W86.36 cm

i think... if im converting inch to cm correctly

[somber coral]

Yeah my desk is like 23 inch/55cm

welp we go back to looking for a solid 200x80cm desk ig

bro i cant with facebook

here's the thing

[somber coral]

LMAO

[somber coral]

is it worth getting a 9700x3d for the same price as 7800x3d?

ok ty

[ashen spindle]

9700x3d doesnt exist

yeah thats how the answer would be found if the cpu existed xD

[balmy vector]

Any word on the TakMD 12800x3d3d

[bright ravine]

Hi there. I am wondering what the most silent switches are that wooting offer? (My wife has been constantly complaining of how loud my wooting 60HE is) and if there is a much more silent switch, will it cause any competitive disadvantage? Or would all features be the same in terms of actuation points etc

[pale sigil]

That was not on my bingo card https://youtu.be/pVI_smLgTY0

@wheat plume

[somber coral]

This look fine?

[ashen spindle]

Yes

[marsh pewter]

he’s teased this video for months

he’s been on arch since late feb or early march iirc

big youtuber on linux is good for recognition or whatever

[somber coral]

This is after the repaste, took sink off today to put on a contact frame

That’s not the ram i ordered …

Second time Corsair gave me wrong ram

[somber coral]

im talking azbout how one is 16gb one is 8gb

and the timings are different according to the label

no i bought the same set

they gave me ram from two kits

i did not buy 2 kits

corsair/amazon

[pale sigil]

No?

You're chatting shit.

Yes but that's not "ocing yourself"

[unkempt lake]

It's an overclock still

[pale sigil]

The way you worded it is what bothered me.

More than anything 😅

[unkempt lake]

Its also not guaranteed to work

[pale sigil]

Especially for someone who might not know what XMP is etc

Yesnt

You don't need to touch frequencies, just enable xmp which you did clarify.

Does it all for you as you have made clear.

Without context you'll have people going around thinking they have to change unfamiliar settings and just click numbers that sound the same as their ram.

@somber coral can you explain more?

What exactly did you buy?

[somber coral]

its fine im talking to support and plus im probably gonna sell the new replacement set

[pale sigil]

It's not fine

[somber coral]

basically bought 3 kits of the same ram (dont ask why) and one was unstable one other they literally gave the wrong sticks

[pale sigil]

Because I want to know

Define unstable? Also was that one kit open already? Also was it sold by Amazon or a third party.

[somber coral]

unstable cuz all my games were crashing, sold by amazon, i bought new

[pale sigil]

Yes being sold by Amazon doesn't prevent this happening but it's definitely more likely to happen sold by third parties but distributed by Amazon

[somber coral]

pretty sure it was corsair

[pale sigil]

Nah that's just the store

Go to your orders, order details, it should say who the seller was.

You can also click create invoice and it'll show it

[unkempt lake]

Amazon reships an item as new if it's sealed even if its a return

Was probably just an employee who thought it was sealed and sold it as new without opening the pack to check

[pale sigil]

Example

[pale sigil]

Afaik at least in the UK they can't do this, only the manufacturers can.

[unkempt lake]

Any store can...

[pale sigil]

They have to be sold as second hand by Amazon on Wearhouse.

[unkempt lake]

Sealed is literally new

[pale sigil]

Click view order details

[unkempt lake]

They can and will do it xD

[pale sigil]

Wait 2023?

[unkempt lake]

If an item is opened then it will be an open box warehouse deal

[somber coral]

ahh, i see

[somber coral]

yeah lmao i put it in my attic and forgot abt it since i rmaed a 64gb kit

[unkempt lake]

now you learned an important lesson

check if you actually received what you bought

[dull hollow]

so we're just blowing money just becasue we can

[unkempt lake]

now you're shit outta luck

[somber coral]

theres a lot of backstory to this which i dont wanna share, but honestly idgaf i bought 3 kits

[pale sigil]

Not really

At least with the unstable ram

[somber coral]

nah number one corsair is willing to rma number two im pretty sure amazon support is willing to give me a refund

[pale sigil]

The wrong kit probably

[somber coral]

corsair rmaed my unstable kit

[pale sigil]

Ye I thought so

[somber coral]

and i thnk amazon support is willing to give me a refund

[pale sigil]

Corsair are very good with RMA, at least in my experience.

[somber coral]

on a product i bought 1.5 years ago

[somber coral]

i submitted a ticket and its been 3 days, my last ticket was good tho

[pale sigil]

Tbf Amazon refunded my GTX 1070 after 3 years lol

[unkempt lake]

They won't do shit

[pale sigil]

Because it started to burn

[somber coral]

[somber coral]

nah thats what the last support guy told me, this guy just told me to check the email

[pale sigil]

Amazon genuinely doesn't care.

[somber coral]

i think we're chilling

[somber coral]

trillion dollar company or smth a 200$ gpu means nothing

[pale sigil]

And if one customer support member says nay just start a new chat.

[pale sigil]

$200?

Lol

It was £400+

[somber coral]

its like restarting a minecraft speedrun after a bad seed

[somber coral]

damn i thoguht i was being generous 😭

[dull hollow]

bro 💀

[somber coral]

whats the chances they let me refund my mobo

[dull hollow]

[somber coral]

obviously that means easiest refund of my life

[pale sigil]

Msrp was £364

But well MSRP means jack shit

I got it at launch with Amazon 2 hour delivery on the way home from uni 😄

[somber coral]

[somber coral]

[dull hollow]

[pale sigil]

[somber coral]

[somber coral]

what i do need is a 9800x3d trust

[pale sigil]

I got a 1070ti with a free 850w PSU for £330 with the refund lol

Then evga RMAd my PSU and i got a 2021 model PSU which I'm now using 😄

[somber coral]

immmmmm probably gonna buy a skypad if i get the refund

since i had to cancel my previous order

[dull hollow]

did you not order that either???

[pale sigil]

Tbh I miss my 1070ti, I never felt let down by it Vs my 3080

[somber coral]

i needed the money in that specific moment

[pale sigil]

@unkempt lake cough

[somber coral]

ill probablly get it in a week or two

[somber coral]

my first gpu was a 3060ti then i bought my 4060ti lmao

i think i sold the 3060ti for a profit

[pale sigil]

I will say though, I'm proud of having my 3080 for almost 5 years

I say almost....

Its like 4 years 5 months old? Or 6? Idk

Brain no work ATM

[somber coral]

idk i cant stick with one setup im constantly trying to upgrade

[bright briar]

sod for profit huh

[somber coral]

yes

[dull hollow]

the joy of not spending your own money 🔥

[bright briar]

which 3080 you have

[pale sigil]

Just invest then?

[somber coral]

already did

[bright briar]

i got the asus rog strix and it's so amazing

[pale sigil]

MSI RTX 3080 Gaming trio z

[pale sigil]

Clearly not XD

[somber coral]

eh technically the onloy thing thats not my money on my setup is my pc

also my desk yeah my mom bought the desk

[bright briar]

i wanted to get the white gundam one but it was sold out

[somber coral]

nuh uh

[pale sigil]

Tbh I wish I got a 3070

I spent way too much

[bright briar]

we all did during that era

[dull hollow]

which is basically the whole thing

[bright briar]

[somber coral]

nah its in a grey area where i spent my money but it also waasent my money

[pale sigil]

You're going from mediocre to mediocre

[somber coral]

going from va to oled this better shock me

[somber coral]

i would explain but too lazy and also kinda private

[pale sigil]

I'm on about hardware

[somber coral]

13600kf to 9800x3d

[pale sigil]

3060ti to 4060ti

[unkempt lake]

Hi

[somber coral]

yeah, but hey i made a profit so

[somber coral]

wait no my peripherals are like as much as my pc

[pale sigil]

But that doesn't really fix your problem...

[dull hollow]

that doesnt make it any better

[somber coral]

its ok 4060ti is 🔥

[pale sigil]

And you got a 4060ti?...

[somber coral]

probably not

[somber coral]

it was 2 years ago

[pale sigil]

I'm confused

What do you have now

[pale sigil]

Read my 1070ti comment

[somber coral]

4060ti 16gb

[pale sigil]

Sooooo

[unkempt lake]

Why did you upgrade if you never felt let down

[pale sigil]

My point still stands

[somber coral]

im not gonna argue the fact i make bad financial decisions

[pale sigil]

Why on earth would you get a 9800xt with a 4060ti

[somber coral]

9800x3d?

i havent actually gotten it yet chill\

[unkempt lake]

You kept the card for barely 3 years lol

The 1070 ti

[pale sigil]

Because I did need the upgrade but my entire time with the 1070ti I never felt let down

Get me?

[unkempt lake]

Assuming a purchase on launch day

[pale sigil]

I moved to 1440p/144hz towards the end of my 1070ti

I was also making a whole new build

[pale sigil]

The 1070ti replaced my 1070 for free

So I count them both as one xd

[unkempt lake]

I had a GTX 980 from launch to the launch of the 2080 then a 7900xtx like 6 months after that launched

[somber coral]

what the frick

[pale sigil]

Lol I had a GTX 970 for like a year

Gave it to my friend for £50

When i got my 1070 XD

Best upgrade i ever did, even now I felt I gained more from that than my 3080

[unkempt lake]

980 - 4 years
2080 - 5 years

Didn't feel let down by either card

So honestly idk what you're on about lol

[pale sigil]

Idk, the 3080 I never felt like it was worth it, yes the performance difference was nice but I never felt like it was a beast that could tackle everything like my 1070ti did, it quickly felt like it became redundant because gaming just kept getting worse.

[unkempt lake]

new gen of consoles released

the bar got raised

[pale sigil]

Idk

I still disagree

[unkempt lake]

A ps5 is equivalent to a 2070 super

[pale sigil]

It was the market shifting to being lazy

[unkempt lake]

...

[pale sigil]

Being more profit driven than ever

Cutting corners

[unkempt lake]

it's always like this...

[pale sigil]

Even games that came out before new gen got worse over time.

[pale sigil]

I feel like it just got worse so quickly, the pandemic also didn't help l.

[unkempt lake]

new console releases, base specs get updated, new engines are more demanding, pc gaming takes a shit until prices go down

[pale sigil]

Idk

[unkempt lake]

I'll argue the pandemic actually helped older hardware stay more relevant

Its what allowed cross gen games to still be made

[pale sigil]

I truly believe modern gaming is abysmal and the pandemic heavily pushed trash and profits before actual products.

[unkempt lake]

Because the ps4/xbox one install base was still big

[pale sigil]

Games are never complete anymore, release now fix later.

Pc gaming was never perfect but like, idk late 2010s were fucked.

More than ever

[unkempt lake]

I said the same shit 10 years ago

[pale sigil]

The market was and still is awful, especially the bigger market, nothing is creative anymore and just slop or lazy, at least in the bigger market.

[unkempt lake]

Hell console players said the same shit 10 yeara ago

[pale sigil]

Did they?

[unkempt lake]

Yes

I know i sure as hell was

Example: battlefield 4 being a complete dumpster fire at launch

In 2013
