[eternal jacinth]

yea it’s not lol

[pale sigil]

9800x3d

[vapid ruin]

damn

[pale sigil]

Bare in mind this is before VAT but they all mark low value

[eternal jacinth]

the foot is magnet

[reef patrol]

Garphics.

[dull hollow]

oh wow there is space for it

[mental helm]

garphield

[dull hollow]

is that where your gpu lines up?

[eternal jacinth]

lmao

[eternal jacinth]

is it ok and safe to plug it in and screw it down to see?

and make a judgement?

[dull hollow]

yes

put in the gpu first

attach this piece

first to the gpu

[eternal jacinth]

is this back plate supposed to come off to? cause it won’t fit

@dull hollow

[dull hollow]

uhh

you might have to take it off and then reinstall it when the gpu is in

slight oversight in case design

[eternal jacinth]

ok cause i just googled said it’s compatible

[eternal jacinth]

ok a question and a issue

[dull hollow]

?

[eternal jacinth]

is that supposed to snap in place like ram ?

[dull hollow]

yes

its to help release the gpu from the slot like ram

[eternal jacinth]

am i to close it myself or by itself?

cuz i didn’t try to put pressure on it was worried

[dull hollow]

sometimes it closes by itself sometimes you do it yourself

but majority of the time it should close on its own

[eternal jacinth]

does it make a click?

[dull hollow]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

im not sure lmao

[steady sail]

nope

[eternal jacinth]

ok the issue is

[steady sail]

or idk i never really heard it xd

[eternal jacinth]

every screw but the top last one can’t fit ll

the gpu metal part is partially stopping it being straight in

[dull hollow]

you want to plug it in all the way before you screw it in

[eternal jacinth]

i think i did?

[dull hollow]

the gpus is sagging then

lift up the far right corner and screw it in

[analog sinew]

yeah thats just the weight of the gpu

the modern gpus are so damn heavy

lift it up and put the screw in

[eternal jacinth]

i got it

ok now what

[dull hollow]

install sag bracket

using the instructions it comes with

in the gpu box

[eternal jacinth]

fuck

gotta unscrew it i fucked up lol missed the washers

[dull hollow]

lol

its like 2 screws dw about it

wont take too long

[eternal jacinth]

wtf is that for? looks like a AIO bracket for the cpu

[dull hollow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ashen spindle]

because its basically the same it keeps the cooler mounted correctly

[dull hollow]

your motherboard has one on the back

[lofty sable]

cooler mounting

[eternal jacinth]

ok done

this is how far it comes out @dull hollow

[analog sinew]

looks alright?

[eternal jacinth]

i think there’s 2 ways of doing it?

one into the pc case and one allow?

alone?

i did the shorted one

it’s a magnet foot at the bottom of it

[dull hollow]

yes

now screw it together

[steady sail]

My gpu sag tool

[eternal jacinth]

i assume this is correct?

[dull hollow]

yeah

[eternal jacinth]

I assume that’s correct? i mean idk im just paranoid lol

am i able to take this off? what even is this

it slides back and forth lol

[dull hollow]

wdym

[eternal jacinth]

idk it’s like a slider idk what it is

looks like led lights to the right of gigabyte lol

[steady sail]

read the manual

[analog sinew]

might be a light or bios slider

or just for lulz

idk never seen it

[eternal jacinth]

doesn’t even explain it lol

you’d be surprised the amount of manuals i read, that don’t give a real explanation on what’s what and what they’re for is baffling

[analog sinew]

what a "feature"

thanks gigabyte

[eternal jacinth]

i took it off

it can lick my balls

it can clip back on 😂

now it’s time to hook a monitor up and turn it on.. @mental helm @dull hollow

[mental helm]

hell yeah brother

glhf

[steady sail]

imo the cleanest card this gen xd

[eternal jacinth]

wait

trying to connect the psu to the gpu

doesn’t feel or look like it’s in

[steady sail]

its a little hard xd

[eternal jacinth]

i am scared ima break it lmao

[steady sail]

push it more

[mental helm]

you gotta put decent force into it

[steady sail]

its not gonna break its gonna burn down if u dont plug it in

[mental helm]

yeah youre more at risk of it breaking if its NOT in

[eternal jacinth]

i’m taking it out and doing it

better angle cause i genuinely have no grip

[dull hollow]

there should be no gap between the plugs

[steady sail]

oh and idk if its still an issue but install GPU-z and check ROPs

idk if ngreedia fixed that

[eternal jacinth]

what thebhell is that

[dull hollow]

software when you boot into windows

tells you your gpu specs

[steady sail]

looks like this

[steady sail]

thats better

[eternal jacinth]

looks in?

[steady sail]

less chance for burning down

[vagrant heath]

+1

[steady sail]

but the chance its still there sadly lol

[magic minnow]

Gacha!

[eternal jacinth]

wdym lmao that’s for any card tho? right??

[steady sail]

mainly for 5080's and 5090's

[analog sinew]

the 12vhpwr connector is problematic on all of em yea

[steady sail]

and some 9070 xt's

[analog sinew]

but 5080 should be mostly fine

it doesnt draw that much power

[vagrant heath]

specifically the 12v hipwr connector

[vagrant heath]

yea

[steady sail]

all 50 series uses 12vhpwr

[vagrant heath]

yep

thats why i use the 9070 xt

[steady sail]

if u want the nvidia shit buy it

[analog sinew]

yeah there sadly is no way around that shitty connector

if you want nvidia

[steady sail]

tbh 5080's should not need that connector at all xd

[tribal dirge]

You just have to be super careful and make sure to properly strain relieve that connector.

[dull hollow]

meanwhile linus:

[vagrant heath]

yea

[tribal dirge]

Thankfully my 5090 didn't melt yet because I'm very mindful about cable stuff

lol

[vagrant heath]

did you get the founders?

[steady sail]

imagine having money for a 5090

[tribal dirge]

I managed to get one, it took a lot of finding lmao

[vagrant heath]

oof

[tribal dirge]

It was 3 in the morning when I managed to strike one on Newegg lmao

ROFL

[analog sinew]

even then it has no load balancing so if one of the wires is bad internally you are already in the danger zone

its just not well designed and unsafe at high wattages

[vagrant heath]

YESS i was about to say that

[tribal dirge]

It's because that molex connector was basically maxed out with no safety factor whatsoever.

[steady sail]

just limit ur 5090 to 300w

[vagrant heath]

the asus one doesnt have that problem

[analog sinew]

just desolder the 12vhpwr connector and build your own load balancing pcb onto it

[vagrant heath]

07 warranty

[tribal dirge]

Power balancing isn't that easy

[analog sinew]

i never said it was realistic

[eternal jacinth]

yall are freaking me out with this connector and fire stuff lol

[tribal dirge]

At that point I'd just use a 12 gauge wire lmaooooo

[tribal dirge]

Just give the connector proper strain relief and you'll be just fine

[steady sail]

sadly its a risk with the connector

[eternal jacinth]

how does it look? and is it ok if the water cooled tubes or whatever touch the gpu possibly?

[balmy vector]

Its fine

[analog sinew]

yeah thats no problem

[balmy vector]

Mine do

[analog sinew]

they are afterall cooled

and the backplate doesnt get that hot

[eternal jacinth]

just hate how the gpu and AIO wires are in the way

[analog sinew]

when wireless water

[tribal dirge]

You're fine lol

[eternal jacinth]

also when you said strain connector you talking about the connector to the psu to gpu?

[balmy vector]

When it implements MangoHE technology

[eternal jacinth]

cause it’s kinda force bending i guess?

[steady sail]

loosen it a little bit

[tribal dirge]

As long as there isn't a constant force tugging on that connector it looks fine

[eternal jacinth]

how does this look

@tribal dirge

@dull hollow

[tribal dirge]

Does the cable feel like it's under tension at all?

[eternal jacinth]

with how paranoid i am with everything, it does so my answer isn’t fully close to accurate

best i can do to show lol @tribal dirge

[tribal dirge]

Oh you're fine lmao

That cable is not under any significant amount of tension

[dull hollow]

just make sure the glass isnt forcing it when its on

[eternal jacinth]

uhh

i just realized a flaw design in this case lol

[steady sail]

u cant cloose it up

[vagrant heath]

🤨

[tribal dirge]

Ooop

[eternal jacinth]

LOOK AT THE GAP

[vagrant heath]

i mean if its not touching the pcie power its probably just bad tolerances

[eternal jacinth]

no im saying there’s a gap i never noticed

it’s their design lol

[vagrant heath]

...

[steady sail]

its a Lian Li case right

[eternal jacinth]

antec c5

[vagrant heath]

did you install an os already or it it a new build?

[dull hollow]

its his first

[vagrant heath]

get linux imo

[eternal jacinth]

taking it upstairs to my room rq

[dull hollow]

spent like the last few hours doing this

[vagrant heath]

oh

[eternal jacinth]

i have one more issue but i’ll explain what it is once im there 😅

[vagrant heath]

sad i came this late

[steady sail]

for a first time pc user not

[leaden kiln]

crazy take

[dull hollow]

AIO wasnt even installed yet 🥀

[vagrant heath]

why you dont have to relearn anything

[vagrant heath]

i UsE ArCh BtW

[dull hollow]

id imagine windows has more game support

[eternal jacinth]

I mean, I HAVE a PC. I never built it myself, it was gifted to me by a good friend I met on WOW like back in 2016 and he gave me the pc for free, shipped it to me. Used it ever since but needed an upgrade badly.

[vagrant heath]

i mean if it need s anticheat like craporant and league of stink but the rest works great

[dull hollow]

upgrading to a 9800x3d and 5080

[eternal jacinth]

It was a 1080TI, i7-6700 lol

[eternal jacinth]

heol yea ima call him today too once it works

[dull hollow]

damn a 1080ti for free? sheeeeet

[eternal jacinth]

back in the day too

when it was #1

[dull hollow]

should give it to me (i have no use for it but its cool)

[leaden kiln]

I've used linux before but I would only recommend it to people who are already trying to get away from windows :)

[dull hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-16847314810084971000

[vagrant heath]

businessman spotted

[vagrant heath]

so everyone?

[dull hollow]

business major

[steady sail]

no xd

[leaden kiln]

I don't think so

[vagrant heath]

my bad xd

[leaden kiln]

I switched back to windows after using linux for a year

[vagrant heath]

lol why and when was that

[dull hollow]

my cousin is also upgrading now

he has a normal 1080

getting similar specs, 9800x3d and a 9070xt

final parts should arrive end of this week or next week

and ill have to go do all this again

[leaden kiln]

late last year, I got a vr headset and play fortnite with my friend now, my usecase changed and I wanted to spend less time tweaking my os, of course there are lower maintenance distros than nixos but that's not the main point

[vagrant heath]

have to? i think tech support is fun when the other person is trying to learn something

[dull hollow]

well more like im gonna be the one building it lol

he got a kid coming this week so

no time

[vagrant heath]

i dual boot because my vive is not supported on penguin

[dull hollow]

but yes, i agree its fun, building pcs are very cool

more expensive than overpriced plastic bricks

[leaden kiln]

unless you have a goofy one like the cosmo it could probably run
but support was far from perfect last time I checked even for steamvr native headsets

[vagrant heath]

i'd assume your'e referring to prebuilds and laptops?

[eternal jacinth]

Anyone know if an Anker surge protector is any good? i just bought it today lol

[dull hollow]

lego lol

building a pc is just replacing plastic with metal

[vagrant heath]

the index works afaik but its kinda dated

[balmy vector]

I fear no sag for it fears me

[vagrant heath]

oh i feel stupid lol

[dull hollow]

speaking of which i think i wanna build my first gundam this summer

[leaden kiln]

they are so much fun to build
it's been a while but I'm gonna try to get one when I go to japan if I can fit it in a suitcase

[dull hollow]

wheres that extra fan huh

[eternal jacinth]

about to boot the pc up

ready??

[balmy vector]

Im waiting for my RMA replacement

Still

[dull hollow]

i got a ton from my last trip and never built them, was before covid started

[vagrant heath]

you should plug the installer in if you have one

[eternal jacinth]

for windows?

[vagrant heath]

if you really want that yes

[leaden kiln]

my 2016 vive and index both worked with steamvr and monado, my beyond should work too after some patching, a lot of stuff is supported decently, so depending on hardware and what you play you can actually have a good experience

[eternal jacinth]

How do I install windows? Can’t I boot up the PC then go to my browser and buy one or? how does this work

[dull hollow]

@leaden kiln #💬│general message scroll down a lil more and i got all the boxes in an image

[eternal jacinth]

Never installed windows before so.

[vagrant heath]

thats the problem with my vive pro 2 it has no native steamvr and only works through the vive console

[vagrant heath]

if you build a pc your hard drive (ssd) is empty (no browser or OS)

you have to use another computer and flash an image to that usb stick

[dull hollow]

oh

we probably shouldve done that

while this pc build was going on

[leaden kiln]

https://lvra.gitlab.io/docs/hardware/ should be usable with a little bit of work

[eternal jacinth]

my brain is dying rn

[leaden kiln]

that's a lot

[vagrant heath]

OK basically

[dull hollow]

indeed, it was quite cheap in japan so i said fuck it why not

[leaden kiln]

have fun building them

[vagrant heath]

do you have a alpatop or another WORKING computer?

[eternal jacinth]

so I gotta turn this shit back on and buy windows 11 and install it on a flash drive?

[leaden kiln]

did you ship them back of just have a huge suitcase

[vagrant heath]

yes

[eternal jacinth]

i think my mom left her work laptop here i can use that i guess?

[dull hollow]

we had em in like a huge bag

[vagrant heath]

or use linux for free

im not giving up ':)

[eternal jacinth]

before I do that.. I have a issue lol

[dull hollow]

im shocked theres no damage to the boxes when we flew back

we had to go through 3 seperate airports when coming back

[leaden kiln]

windows is free too if you use mas, official licenses are ridiculously expensive and if you buy an oem license from some sussy website you may aswell be pirating already

[leaden kiln]

man I have 3 flights each there and back too

kinda annoying

[dull hollow]

its annoying but so worth it

i really want to go again in the winter

[leaden kiln]

out of my price class to get a direct flight anyway, and my airport doesn't have any regardless

[dull hollow]

as its been over 5 years since my first and only time visiting lol

[leaden kiln]

I'm going for the first time in august to meet some online friends and to a miku concert
maybe this is a bit offtopic, sry mods but it's not like anyone's being interrupted :P

[dull hollow]

ah, i was visiting family in china and decided to go to japan for the first time

very cool place

[dull hollow]

we can probably move to general xd

before the angry duck arrives

[leaden kiln]

sure

[latent mural]

Can someone here tell me if I should use Thermalright Helios thermal pad or thermal paste for my R5 9600X

And for thermal paste is Noctua NT-H2 good?

[vagrant heath]

i think the LTT forum is better for that kind of question but i use paste (specifically the mx-4)

[reef patrol]

LTT forums are useless.

Even Reddit somehow manages to be more useful in comparison.

[steady sail]

MX-6 or PTM7950 honeywell or what is that

not even honeycomb

[vagrant heath]

im not getting the joke

[latent mural]

Yeah it seems to have only 1-3 celsius more but costs significantly less

[steady sail]

im using mx-6 on a 5800x3d with an AIO soo its pretty cool overall

[rough osprey]

duronaut

[vagrant heath]

temps after 10 minutes of cs2

aio

[latent mural]

Windows “cant reactivate” even with the troubleshooter just because I upgraded cpu bruh wtf, what do I do?

[crimson wigeon]

Welcome to the lovely world of DRM

[reef patrol]

You call the robot hotline.

[latent mural]

Great, had such a fun experience last time

[analog sinew]

heh yeah

i called them too last time and they couldn't tell me what the issue was either

everything i could see from my end indicated my license was transferrable and they didnt know either

such a clownshow over there

[latent mural]

I once had an issue with a corrupted system file, their solution was to reinstall windows, like wow I really waited 40 minutes for that

I did end up fixing it without reinstalling windows

[analog sinew]

i also like their forums

first of all they spam redirects so your back button doesnt work

[reef patrol]

Tell you? Not you just call up a robot hotline, type in the number that Windows gives you, and then type in what the robot tells you.

[analog sinew]

then its always the same "hello my name is blabla i'm a clown at microsoft have you tried this old thread that is a tottaly different issue"

[reef patrol]

No hgumans involved.

Or humans for that matter.

[analog sinew]

i got people

werent any useful tho

[reef patrol]

slui4 yes?

[analog sinew]

yes that too

[latent mural]

I cant figure out where my Windows product key is listed, do i need it to update my activation if its just a cpu change?

[analog sinew]

they still couldnt tell me what the issue was

[reef patrol]

Should be a sticker on the side, if it's a prebuilt.

[analog sinew]

i mean bad on me for losing the key but idfk where it went

its funny cause i have ALL of my old windows keys except that one

[latent mural]

I built it, I can’t remember where I bought it tho

[reef patrol]

So how did you get the key initially? Digital purchase? A box?

[analog sinew]

i actually think i accidentally acitvated it on another machine but then again i deactivated it online? so hows that work?

i actually should read it out and see what that gives

[latent mural]

Digitally but I can’t find anything by searching “windows product key” on my emails

I bought retail for like 20usd pretty sure it was from microsoft

[reef patrol]

Well. You have three choices.

1. Keep fighting with Microsoft
2. Buy a new key on eBay something for a buck (Unless you're in spooky Germany, heh)
3. Use an activation tool.

[latent mural]

How much can I get W11 Pro retail for? It might not even be worth it to try and get support might be better to rebuy depends on price

[analog sinew]

or you just enter that activation konami code

[latent mural]

@reef patrol I used the MAS activator but quick question, I have all my settings and stuff saved through a Microsoft account using it this way wont mess w that for other devices right?

seems to work

well, i found the product key

it was in my password manager

[empty wren]

@vagrant pagoda printer electrionics

[vagrant pagoda]

look at mr moneybags with din rails

[empty wren]

I got em cheap off amazon

[balmy vector]

Nice crocs

[steep pond]

is buying cpus from Ali expresss worth it

[vagrant pagoda]

maybe

if you like gambling

[unkempt lake]

They dont do those anymore

[vagrant pagoda]

key has been in the mobo for ages now

you just get the fancy sticker hologram, no key

retail packs of windows have keys on a coa, and servers still get coas

[pale sigil]

It's not really a gamble though

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

[pale sigil]

Use common sense

[vagrant pagoda]

you get the cpu, or you get ewaste

[pale sigil]

If it's fake you refund

[vagrant pagoda]

its still a gamble

[pale sigil]

Eh still use common sense

There's reputable vendors

[reef patrol]

I see plenty of brand new PCs with license key stickers. Don't know what Y'all are about.

[vagrant pagoda]

10 and 11 dont get key coas

now if you buy from a small/medium builder they are using retail/oe packs and putting the coa on

[charred forge]

anyone have qd-oled monitor? how it is for long gaming sessions and for static work graphic programs

[ashen spindle]

Works very well

[charred forge]

im sure it does. im more worried about burn-in problems on static images

[vagrant pagoda]

then dont leave static images up

[charred forge]

while you work or game there is hud / program panels etc. you cant just cut them off

[ashen spindle]

thats not an issue

[charred forge]

even if you browse, all these browser elements are static

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

[charred forge]

even discord is a problem

[vagrant pagoda]

but you dont do it 24.7

only one thing

if you game, then browse, then game

they cancel out

[ashen spindle]

if it would be that bad people couldnt use it for anything

[vagrant pagoda]

if you had a secondary oled and used it for just like discord then it could be an issue

[charred forge]

i guess second monitor would be more for browsing and static stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

but qdoled are less likely to get burn in

i used a og lg cx for a monitor for 2 years

and it got dimmer, no burn in

[rough osprey]

no problems after like a year and a half

[charred forge]

i mean my daily pc usage is 15-16 hr

[rough osprey]

do u sleep

or go outside

[charred forge]

yea, only for food 😄

i woudnt care if i was just be using monitor for 5-6hr a day, but with very long sessions it could be a problem.

[rough osprey]

just leave the usual protection features on

and maybe dont use max brightness all day

[charred forge]

yea, i will wait for 60SF or XG27AQDPG and will take a look into them.

[astral haven]

How many hours tho

My monitor had 6k hours on it after 2 years, which seems to be on the higher end of normal

[rough osprey]

no idea lol

[tribal dirge]

I use asus OLED care with my asus monitors and I have zero burn in issues

[charred forge]

how long you have monitor and how long sessions?

[tribal dirge]

sometimes I forget to turn them off LMAO

so its just fusion 360 on the screen overnight

lmao

i've had that happen to me a few times since my dumbass forgets to turn off my computer sometimes but the monitors handle it no problem

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-NOoMklpPM

[tribal dirge]

yeah, OLED tech now is way better than it used to be

LED degredation isnt a big issue anymore

[dull hollow]

i got just over 2k hours on my g60sd and havent had any issues yet

[charred forge]

yea, i guess with all those protections and dark mode on OS its not very easy to make a burn-in

[dull hollow]

i just found out how to get into samsungs service menu

[dull hollow]

on the newer samsung oleds, they got heatpipes on the back of the screens and uses pixels shifts to move the screen a few pixels

[charred forge]

im looking at gen4 qdoled which should be available in the end of this summer. maybe even more improvements

[somber coral]

update: now my fps is low as well

and my ping is spiking like crazy

[dull hollow]

pro tip: fix your god damn pc before you decide to spend $160 on a hoodie, another $400 on a keyboard and another $50-60 on a mouse you dont need

[unkempt lake]

protip you have a button called printscreen

[somber coral]

what

[somber coral]

tell me how bruh

[dull hollow]

not using nshidia 🔥 /s

[somber coral]

...

valorant is mostly cpu based

[dull hollow]

what are cpu temps

voltage useage?

clock speed?

ram consistancy?

🤯

[balmy vector]

play a better game

[dull hollow]

real

[somber coral]

Fax

[unkempt lake]

Also you only talk about valorant and nothing else so as far as i know it's a valorant problem

[somber coral]

Only game I play lmao

[dull hollow]

"bUt vaLoraNt cAn rUn aT 1200fPs!!111!!!"

[unkempt lake]

Play something else then...

Or else how are you supposed to know

[somber coral]

Tbf it should be running 600fps plus

[somber coral]

Oh god I have to go back to rivals

[unkempt lake]

Run 3dmark and compare your score against others

Ffs

It ain't that hard

No stop testing stupid multiplayer games

Thay have no consistency

boot up a single player game whose performance you know

Or somethibg like 3d mark

Something repeatablea

And test it

It's not fucking complicated

[dull hollow]

theres so many fucking variables in a game like valorant

no test and gameplay will be one to one

and thats not even mentioning background applications

its like saying standing still in the finals get me 300fps and then when some heavy runs through 10 walls my fps drops to 50 (it doesnt but thats not the point)

[unkempt lake]

not by posting random blurry pictures that and whining that your shit will rub better xd

I already explained to you what i needed to help you

[lunar elm]

pixel shift is already on most current gen oleds, with some have a fan at the back to cool the pixels down

[lunar elm]

valorant has gotta be one of the most repetitive games tbh

[unkempt lake]

for performance testing absolutely not

[dull hollow]

yes but gameplay to gameplay performance cant be compared unless it is a built-in stress test

[lunar elm]

you do not benchmark valorant lmao

ts has potato in the specsheet

[spare dust]

laughing

[eternal jacinth]

@dull hollow this looks good yea?

the wire from the power supply to gpu

wires can touch the sides of gpu yea?

[dull hollow]

yeah it should be fine

[digital cliff]

uh oh fire cable

[exotic plinth]

Do not bend 12vhwpr

[somber coral]

Chat what’s the chances the 12 pin to my 5080 melted

[crimson wigeon]

High

[magic minnow]

50%

[fair gull]

i wonder why no one made a 12vhpwr modded cable yet with only 2 wires of heavier gauge

[analog sinew]

actually real

[fair gull]

i mean thats basically what the spec wants you to do on the pcb connector.... tie all vcc pins into one plane and all gnd pins into 1 plane immediately at the connector

[analog sinew]

tho i spose you arent getting around the connector failing still

[fair gull]

aka its essentially just 2 wires

[analog sinew]

just wire some fat copper directly to the plane

nvidia engineering

[fair gull]

its actually not the connector and i firmly believe the spec is just fudged up for requiring the pins to be tied into 1 plane at the connector

[analog sinew]

yes thats what i mean too

i mean that the thick wire would still have to split at the connector

else you are pushing the 600W down one leg

[fair gull]

custom connector ez

[analog sinew]

ye

thats what we need

i like how when i googled it for images some of the first are melty ones

[fair gull]

spec should have just used these

[analog sinew]

unironically yes

that is what they are doing

[reef patrol]

Wouldn't fix the issue afaik? You still have to deal with the terrible connector on the GPU. Otherwise you're doing some sketch soldering ala. Lienus

[analog sinew]

ye thats what we just discussed

you'd also need to replace the connector

[fair gull]

yeah but thats basically what the pci spec for 12v2x6 and 12vhpwr are calling for

the actual connector is useless since all the 6 pins of each side have to be combined at the connector on the pcb anyway

idk how this even became the actual spec

[lunar elm]

I undervolted my 5080 lmao

[eternal jacinth]

i mean i have it like this what other way could i possibly not somewhat lightly bend it?

it’s not a strict or tight angle, it’s kinda loose just looks awkward

[exotic plinth]

You have 90° bent

[eternal jacinth]

@analog sinew @mental helm 2 friends helped me fix the pc it works now!

[exotic plinth]

Also connector is not fully in

[eternal jacinth]

uhh idk what else lol 2 pc friends of mine helped me and it’s fully in

it can’t go any further

[exotic plinth]

Can you show pic of pc?

[mental helm]

what was wrong w it, i stopped reading chat yesterday bc i was working lmao

[eternal jacinth]

whoever in chat no offense to them had me wire it wrong lol like the cpu fan? that was the wrong thing to place it in and the fans where the pcb connected was wrong as well. There were other pins on the board it needed to place and dual link the fans. Also I got a DRAM error which took like 2-3 hours to figure out, tried it all and it was the cpu missing a socket lol re socketed it and works good

[eternal jacinth]

it’s currently off but sure, i just woke up was putting windows on a flash drive to put on the new pc

Friends told me to install my old pc windows to my new one so i don’t have to buy it for $200+ again lol

@mental helm @analog sinew but wanted to say thank you for the help and everything

@dull hollow @sonic adder

[mental helm]

🫡

[eternal jacinth]

i may forget some tags so, sorry

[eternal jacinth]

the $3,500 pc is almost complete 🫡

[mental helm]

ahhhhhh yeah wiring a pc is aids to explain and do lol

https://tenor.com/view/frog-pet-froge-gif-25912715

[eternal jacinth]

I spent like $5,000 in a week.. in the entire setup.. new equipment, pc, room, etc 😢

[mental helm]

what desk you get

[eternal jacinth]

It’s not even that, I wish they had a video of a guide somewhere showing your exact build parts and how to build it like in a easier way showing like “ok guys, this wire from the AIO this one, will plug down here in these needles that say or should say (cpu fan) right beneath it” and explain what it does and w/e.

[eternal jacinth]

ekbacken countertop from ikea 98”

@exotic plinth there’s the Pc

[eternal jacinth]

Also the fans in that pc when they’re on.. that pc is extremely cool… the bios, even though it’s idle and not running anything was literally 21 degrees

[exotic plinth]

Definetly great pic

[eternal jacinth]

what did you wanna see lol i can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or not, did you mean inside the entire pc?

[exotic plinth]

Yes..

[pale sigil]

@eternal jacinth is there like, any support for that desk in the middle?...

[eternal jacinth]

Yea i got 3 angle irons setup for that so it doesn’t bend

[eternal jacinth]

also ty for the help earlier yesterday, you were one of the tags i missed.

[eternal jacinth]

I will in a bit

[leaden kiln]

new mousepad again

[raw zephyr]

i want a pure color one without their stupid branding

[leaden kiln]

I don't mind their small branding, I think it's done tastefully and it's pretty small

[mental helm]

yeah luckily wallhack branding is always non intrusive

good quality stuff

[analog sinew]

miggu

whys it flicker

[steady sail]

Migu

[analog sinew]

ooh

[hasty surge]

Guys should I get the atk x1 ultimate or a second hand super light 2( it’s my friends mouse and it’s in perfect condition) for the same price, the other mouses will take ages to arrive

[dreamy glade]

yes

secondhand superlight

then order the a new bottom for it from lgg

[lunar elm]

get the SL2, both are virtually the same

[steady sail]

Tbh wallhack has one of the cleanest branding and its not that noticeable

[magic minnow]

Or

Viper v3 pro and get the custom shell for 300$

[hasty surge]

Yeah nah

I’m honestly wondering is viper v3 is that good compared to super light

They’re pretty much the same right?

[strange smelt]

superlight sucks

[magic minnow]

Viper V3 Pro is the superior mouse

But the superlight is popular for the price

[hasty surge]

Really?

Why?

Sucks for the prices or is it ass in general?

I’m getting it for like 70$

[rough osprey]

viper clicks a bit better but both have a different shape so

[hasty surge]

Well

Fuck

Idk what to choose

Atk x1 ultimate is like the clone of vv3p

[rough osprey]

can u hold the mice somewhere

like in a tech store

[hasty surge]

Nah TvT

That’s the issue

I myself didn’t try a lot of mouses

The only one I really liked was the shape of razer cobra since I used that the most

[rough osprey]

hmm they pretty similar

cobra just smaller

[hasty surge]

What are similar?

Yea I would like a mouse slightly bigger than cobra

[rough osprey]

what grip do you use

[hasty surge]

Claw

But it gives some details about how the switch 2 will work to run games

Nothing specific though like internals

um amd already has all of that in mobile handhelds XD

Amd doesn't have dlss in mobile handhelds

[rough osprey]

das a lot of work

[unkempt lake]

Which i'll argue having good ai upscaling really matters when you're dealing with a low base resolution

Amd needs to bring fsr4 to its mobile apus

[unkempt lake]

Dlss4 works on ampere

Transformer model

So yes it will

[rough osprey]

ye but embed still faster in the end

and you dont fill your storage

[unkempt lake]

And even dlss3 would still look damn good tbh

[rough osprey]

does it have reflex

[unkempt lake]

Considering reflex works even on 2000 series i guess so

[vagrant pagoda]

it needs frame gen to get ths 120hz

[unkempt lake]

no

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah it will

[unkempt lake]

it won't do framegen it's ampere

And metroid prime does 120hz without framegen

[vagrant pagoda]

im saying to get 1080p120 the hardware will need framegen and upscale

[unkempt lake]

ok well metroid prime works at 120hz without framegen

[vagrant pagoda]

you tested it?

[rough osprey]

does it do 4k 120 docked

[unkempt lake]

It literally was at press events

[unkempt lake]

no

[rough osprey]

😭

man i thought i could sell my gaming pc now...

[unkempt lake]

Metroid prime was 4k 60 or 1080p 120

[sudden imp]

My barber when I ask for a little off the top

[unkempt lake]

Fast fusion also does 120hz without framegen

[jaunty rose]

Switch oled had the same thing

Ok

"The screen is covered with a film layer designed to prevent fragments scattering in the event of damage. Do not peel it off."

It doesn't break the screen

Its just to protect dumb kids

Which fair enough

No ps5 pro support lol

[ashen spindle]

Was obvious they said night reign got like minimal resources

[reef patrol]

Wouldn't it be an unfair advantage anyhow? Hehehe

[jaunty rose]

Maybe if Sony implemented PSSR into the base model their wouldnt be these issues lmao

[analog sinew]

hate when my switch gets hit with a high velocity projectile and i get hit with glass

[ashen spindle]

Can’t implement something the hardware doesn’t support

[unkempt lake]

Like uw 😡

[jaunty rose]

So ps5 pro isn’t just the same console with a slightly better gpu???

[unkempt lake]

And they made a shit product

[ashen spindle]

Just like fsr4 it’s not a decision to gatekeep the product it’s hardware limitations

[unkempt lake]

Broken solo, only playable if you're doing trios

[jaunty rose]

Ohhh so its like that

[unkempt lake]

quality meme

[ashen spindle]

Wow the game made for group play works in group play? Shocker

[balmy vector]

they just buffed solo play

so

[unkempt lake]

fromsoft sucks at making coop, hell there's a reason why seamless coop is the most popular mod for fromsoft games

[jaunty rose]

Was gonna buy night reign but Deltarune tomorrow

[unkempt lake]

Trios only is ridiculous lol

[ashen spindle]

anyone I know who plays it is enjoying it so idk what you’re on about

[jaunty rose]

Been watching my friend play it on discord and all night reign did was make him start a ng+8 in elden ring

[unkempt lake]

pog

[ashen spindle]

But yeah ps5 pro has bigger gpu and that includes an npu for upscaling

[unkempt lake]

If your friends have at least 3 other friends? Surecthey'll have fun

[ashen spindle]

Similar to the added ML hardware in rdna4

No even solo players

[jaunty rose]

Ps5 pro still doesnt seem worth it at all because rarely 3rd party titles support it. It’s usually first party triple a

[ashen spindle]

Last comment was “solo is definitely too easy for me now with the patch the extra runs gain was overkill”

Yeah I fully expect Witcher4 and gta6 to be the pro console sellers

[jaunty rose]

Even so gta 6 looks amazing on base model ps5, the most I see them doing is maybe 60fps support

[unkempt lake]

I heard the opposite

[jaunty rose]

Dunno about witcher 4

[rough osprey]

might pick one up if gta6 pc release is later

[main crest]

You must’ve not thought hard enough! I have plenty of ideas ahaha

You can bind different points of one key press to work as different keys,

This then lets you do activities like this

Now whether or not this is something that Jagex will ban you over I have no idea about.

I would personally argue that this isn’t macroing, and it’s like rebinding left click and f2 to 2 different keys that I spam alternatively

if they actually work on better routes it might help

[ashen spindle]

yeah but just use free tools for it

[vagrant pagoda]

you cant make an isp change your route

[ashen spindle]

neither can they but you can use a vpn or change dns or whatever else

[vagrant pagoda]

they 100% could if they pay for the pipes and workwith the dc net ops/isps

[ashen spindle]

cmon think for a second if thats realistic lmao

its the same as wtfast and whatever else people used in the past just with fancier marketing

[ashen spindle]

does it work and is not too loud? then its fine, if you want it quieter you can change it

[vagrant pagoda]

they could, but they arent

I'm laughing my ass off

Holy shit

[ashen spindle]

I mean a name is just a name that marketing decides on

[astral haven]

9070 XTX ultra ai

[inner zinc]

So I was playing on my pc then my monitor went black and my keyboard disconnected. And the game I was playing closed, no error message everything went back to normal after the monitor came back

[somber coral]

Does that make 5070ti 4070ti ultra ai

[astral haven]

Nope

[ashen spindle]

no? its not the same architecture

[astral haven]

Ty for the tag btw lol

[ashen spindle]

haha

saw it and was like, okay fine you win discord the feature does have its use xD

[astral haven]

Much quicker than doing that for every message

[somber coral]

5060 ultra ai take it or leave it

[old marlin]

there was a 9070xt config with 32gb vram

it's just a double sided config

wasn't worth it in the end

[ashen spindle]

no thats coming its the R9700 ai pro

its the workstation card

[old marlin]

yea makes more sense there

[brittle sentinel]

anyone got any good budget moniters?

[trim crane]

If the 9080XT exists I hope it's actually 24GB instead of 16GB

it's weird seeing 9060XT, 9070, 9070XT, and potentially 9080XT all have 16GB

[ashen spindle]

its not, its technical limitations

[trim crane]

yeah :(

just that no one is making 24GB cards now

[ashen spindle]

yeah because it doesnt make sense

you would need 3gb ram chips for it and those arent a thing on gddr6 iirc and for gddr7 they only now started making them so its not cheap enough for consumers

the other option would be making a much bigger card and cut down, but then you pay sooooo much more just to use it in cut down configs

hence the 50 series super refresh likely has 24gb and such and maybe we even get 12gb on a 5060 and similar levels

[trim crane]

is there anything hinting that the 9080XT is actually going to be 16GB

leakers?

[ashen spindle]

theres not much hints that we even get a 9080/9090

[lyric hatch]

I patiently await cards that aren't

[ashen spindle]

it would absolutely be possible but the most important thing for companies is always time to market

if they make a 9080 but its after nvidias refresh and shortly before rdna5? then theres no point wasting money on making it

[trim crane]

yeah

UDNA is exciting tho

[ashen spindle]

eh not at this point, we dont know anything about it really

[trim crane]

at least the idea of it

[ashen spindle]

I mean it doesnt mean anything for the gaming side really

[trim crane]

thats fine, I don't want it just for gaming, also for video editing and hardware acceleration, encode decode for stream and video etc

[astral haven]

Pretty sure udna means even less for that

[ashen spindle]

honestly I think all it means is that compile targets for rdna5 will also work on mi400 or something like that

that the base uarch is similar but mostly for compute, shouldnt change much if anything for raster, de/encode etc.

[astral haven]

And that they're not wasting engineers time by having them develop 2 separate units

[ashen spindle]

well they are still different

instinct doesnt use texture units etc. so its hard to say how much that really matters

[astral haven]

🤦 wut why

Yeah, but that's not really part of the CU, is it?

Wow, that is the worst I've seen futo mess up voice to text in a while.

[ashen spindle]

mhh no that should be part of the CU

thats the same for all 3 gpu vendors that the texture unit is part of the core

or was it ROPs that instinct doesnt have? might've been that I dont remember atm

[unkempt lake]

xtx gang

[ashen spindle]

but either way even if they are not part of the CU you still need to plan around it you cant put it like a totally detached chiplet and design it while ignoring other things, thats how you get arrow lake issues

[unkempt lake]

16gb for the 5080 is pathetic

Shoulda be 24 from the start

Honestly the 4080 shoulda been 24 too

[ashen spindle]

did you read over the part where I said due to technical limitations it cant

[unkempt lake]

Yes but i still think it's pathetic

Shoulda been gddr6 and just more of it

[astral haven]

It should have been 384B

But it would have been more expensive then.

[ashen spindle]

no lol

instead of upgrading the memory you want to downgrade it? not a chance

[astral haven]

384B plus G6 probably would have been a wash.

for a lot more money.

[unkempt lake]

Almost as if nvidia's upgrades ain't worth shit if not paired with faster vram

[ashen spindle]

because it was designed around g7 bandwidth?

[unkempt lake]

Kinda shows how underwelming these upgrades really are

When you think about it

That vram bandwidth made more of a difference than anything else

[ashen spindle]

idk in a sense its a lot like zen5

massive gains in some things but laughed at because not in gaming

[astral haven]

VRAM issues are people tricking themselves into needing more VRAM.
The only current reason that is valid is AI.
The 5090 is a little bit overkill on VRAM, but that's because it's a barely disguised AI chip that just happens to have some gaming cores on it.

[ashen spindle]

you can say as a performance/$ its bad and all but value for consumer being not great doesnt directly imply anything on the technical aspects of the product

[astral haven]

Is it possible for the 5090 to have less VRAM? (While keeping 512b)

[ashen spindle]

in theory yeah if there are smaller vram chips I suppose?

[unkempt lake]

Technically yeah 16 is enough but i just feel like it's kinda cringe considering the price of the 80 series

Even if there are technical limitations

[ashen spindle]

those are seperate arguments though

[unkempt lake]

Like it just feels half assed for the money

[ashen spindle]

one is the bLACKwell value the other the technical aspects

[unkempt lake]

What it someone wants an 80 class card and do more than gaming

[astral haven]

That's what I was asking, and it does seem like there are 1G chips.

[astral haven]

Then they can buy the 80 class quadro, or whatever the heck it's called now.

[ashen spindle]

yeah the rtx pro 5000 blackwell iirc would be that?

the name is so stupid

[unkempt lake]

Companies really dropped the ball for product names

I still can't believe we have ryzen ai max plus cpus

[astral haven]

4500 it seems?

[ashen spindle]

thats fine thats dumb but at least isnt using completely different names

[unkempt lake]

I guess?

[ashen spindle]

yeah 4500 seems right

[astral haven]

They individually identify each with its own stupid name.

At least with nvidia there's only one difference between each model.

[ashen spindle]

6000 should be the full gb202 die, 5000 the cut down and 4500 gb203

[astral haven]

Yup, and it tells you what generation a product is in the sku

[ashen spindle]

ehh but theres no need for it

just make it numbers, if I now see a rtx 6000 ada and a rtx 6000 blackwell I need to know which one is which

[astral haven]

RTX 5000 Blackwell >>>>>7520u

[ashen spindle]

sure its not a accidental purchase at that cost but theres just no need for extra confusion

[astral haven]

Yes, but the model number itself isn't introducing confusion, it's just inducing you having to look up further information.

[ashen spindle]

just call it quadro rtx 5090 or something

[astral haven]

Where on the AMD numbering scheme it was intentionally obfuscating the important number.

[ashen spindle]

oh the mobile naming sure

could still argue as long as I know 3rd number is generation I can still roughly place it, rtx 5000 means nothing if I dont know what ada is

neither are good

[astral haven]

If the numbering scheme that AMD picked for mobile was carried across everything, including desktop, then it would have been annoying but fine.
But they skipped it on desktop...

[ashen spindle]

because OEMs demand "new" products for laptops especially

and amd isnt in a position yet where they could say fuck off with stupid marketing names

[astral haven]

There are 10,000 ways to make a new product that doesn't involve using an awful naming scheme.

[ashen spindle]

yes but may I introduce you to Dell

[astral haven]

I see no issue with AMD making Dell's specific SKUs and just having them have weird names, but the model numbers can be specific.

If I tell you to look up the MS130-48X
There is zero confusion about that.

I dont remember which of you wanted it

But they're on amazon now

[astral haven]

not i

[unkempt lake]

Then it was ion

I think

[lyric hatch]

Damn that's one expensive PSU

[rough osprey]

who even hears a psu fan

[astral haven]

people with otherwise quiet computers?

[rough osprey]

then u gotta have a shit psu

and for a 1600w unit, your other components will probably be much louder

[astral haven]

LOOP

[rough osprey]

still has fans

[lyric hatch]

Also pump probably louder than your PSU fan

[astral haven]

the fans dont turn on for a while

[astral haven]

d5 time then

[rough osprey]

how long would that be with like a threadripper + 5090

or higher tier stuff

[astral haven]

depends on rad size

[rough osprey]

so no idea how loud the normal is but the usecase is drawing more then 1000w while barely using other fans 🤔

[astral haven]

my system draws 700w, now ive got 5 fans worth of radiator, and it takes about 5 minutes at full load before the fans kick on

with a mora, it would take probably 10 minutes at full load

[rough osprey]

u mean a 360 + 240?

[astral haven]

360+280

[unkempt lake]

i have a 1500w platinum psu and the fan never kicks in on it

Like ever

With a 7800x3d and 7900xtx

[rough osprey]

and your other fans would have to be quieter too

[unkempt lake]

So yeah i feel like this psu is a bit dumb because it will be in zero rpm mode for like 99% of the time unless you really pin it

But iirc it was ion and it was for multigpu use

I swear it was someone here

[astral haven]

my 3090 can pull 650w when i push it hard, and my cpu can do 200
ive had my 1600w psu fan kick on first a few times

[unkempt lake]

My psu fan still wouldn't kick in when i had my 9700k

Which used more power cuz i oced the crap out of it

[astral haven]

that was back on my previous 300w cpu tho, nowdays due to making the mistake of going x570 the first fan on is always my chipset fan

[rough osprey]

do you not use a fan for like mobo and stuff

[unkempt lake]

7800x3d is so efficient compared to that

[rough osprey]

vrm cooling

[unkempt lake]

Mobo blocks exist

[astral haven]

convection

[unkempt lake]

Ok so i wasn't crazy

[vagrant pagoda]

I have a p1 on the cpu and a semi passive psu above it

no issues with vrms

[eternal jacinth]

@dull hollow

[rough osprey]

p1?

[vagrant pagoda]

the big ass passive cooler

[rough osprey]

ah

[rough osprey]

and whats your gpu then

[vagrant pagoda]
