[zenith silo]

Built it in 2023

[somber coral]

plus selling my old rig time for 6090

[somber coral]

i built my first pc like 2 or 3 years ago lol

[upper imp]

My dad promised he would give me half of the BTC and he did that on the 30th... ^^

[zenith silo]

Am5 was just coming out when I built my pc and everything was over priced as hell

[somber coral]

4060ti+13600kf

[upper imp]

So I bought that 3.6k system ^^

[zenith silo]

400$ for 32gb ddr5 ram

[somber coral]

back when intel wasent totally shit

[somber coral]

i built my brother a 9070xt+7600x pc

[zenith silo]

My first pc i built was in 2020, before thst I had a gaming laptop since 2014

[somber coral]

his pc is fine

[somber coral]

i used an old imac from like 2013 or smth

[upper imp]

Back to your issue tho

[somber coral]

it ran minecraft which is all i played

[somber coral]

yyea

[zenith silo]

I played cs, ow, and rust mostly

Stopped playing ow in 2018 and started mainly grinding rust and cs hvh lol

[upper imp]

Nvidia Profile Inspector?

[somber coral]

huh

[upper imp]

It is a program. Which let's you tweak a lot of shit per game on your Nvidia driver.

Also on the global profile.

Look for global profile -> check for refresh rate -> set highest available ; Scaling Mode - can be GPU or Display Scaling.

Apply Changes.

I dunno.

[somber coral]

fym i dunno

[upper imp]

I am kind of out of ideas after that. if CRU doesn't do it either. Or maybe have you tried messing with the timings?

It is an LCD screen right?

CVT-RB is recommended for that I guess.

[gaunt terrace]

Breh I did reset PC and windows was like No fk you not

How do I reset it then 😭

[upper imp]

Win11 is so sheit.

[gaunt terrace]

I'm going to 10

[upper imp]

I miss 10.

[gaunt terrace]

Wtf does that mean

[gaunt terrace]

Real

I have a separate drive with Linux on it

Cause i see you're talking about NVIDIA driver issues and literally I have an issue right now and I'm like fuck that , so we resetting it and it's not going well I don't know

[upper imp]

Windows 11 is literally drinking refreshing energy drinks in that picture...

[gaunt terrace]

If it's gonna nag about internet I'm unplugging it

[upper imp]

Bro, I think my system is cooked...

[gaunt terrace]

Howww

Mine kept doing this

[upper imp]

I get BSOD or hard freezes with audio hang daily almost now.

[gaunt terrace]

Cnt read that

[gaunt terrace]

4k issues lmao

Cheek event viewer

I'm stuck at 75%

[upper imp]

What du heck

[gaunt terrace]

I was doing stuff with emulators

[upper imp]

I hope I didn't leak anything.

[gaunt terrace]

Nah lol

[upper imp]

Ahhh

[gaunt terrace]

Ps 4 emulation to be exact. Still a bit unstable

[somber coral]

nope gg i have access to your system now

[gaunt terrace]

But the real issue is Nvidia

[somber coral]

nice "4k homework folder" you got there

[gaunt terrace]

Desktop icons are hidden lol

How did u get the wooting role @upper imp

[upper imp]

Bought a keyboard.

[fair gull]

have you tried googling it

also expect misalignment/color issues

[wanton parcel]

Yes but no.. i dont see alot of iso keycap layouts. Most use ansi.

[fair gull]

i only know 1 website with iso and idk if they are legit or not

goblin something

goblin keycaps - i think

but yeah just expect it to come out ok but not perfect

[fair gull]

sad they dont allow uploading custom graphics files like the goblin one does

[neat cove]

that’s pretty sick

[fair gull]

it is sick but when i wanted to order a goblin custom set i found it a bit weird there was so little reviews

so idk how legit it is

[neat cove]

never heard of it before but the few reviews it has seem decent

I know YUZU is legit and of decent quality but it might be a bit expensive

[old marlin]

you know, if you ask xiami to do a custom set for you they will do it

not even super expensive

[fair gull]

xiaomi?

[old marlin]

gotta contact them over taobao/aliexpress

[plush stirrup]

I use a dell as server pc, I don't dare touch the bios or hardware

There's been one instance where I did a reboot and it caused the bios to fall back to another disk mode... I had to connect a screen etc to see what's wrong and why it's not booting

It was still showing some kind of OS life so it was eum interesting, I thought an update failed and broke it, but no dell bios did 🤣

[pale sigil]

Powered usb a docks don't seem to exist much anymore

Well they do but they are overkill ones

*hub

I used to have one like that with 5 ports and 1 charge port

[old marlin]

idk there still are like 600 of them listed for sale in germany

[sharp badger]

Would think that they'd exist

Type-C would be a change for those though and it's nice to have Type-C

[pale sigil]

https://amzn.eu/d/05V8j4J

Ohh this is cool!

But 5gb is pretty slow and it's not powered

[old marlin]

still over 400 of them listed

[sharp badger]

Would think that they would be more of a standard nowadays?

[old marlin]

oh so you want fast speeds, powered but also cheap?

[pale sigil]

Oh it can be

It had 5v usb c port

[old marlin]

you sure you aren't looking for a dock?

[pale sigil]

Nah, I just don't want one with 50 ports

[pale sigil]

I am

[old marlin]

every usb port is 5v?

[pale sigil]

I mean to power all the usb ports

Or something idk

[sharp badger]

What do you use the dock for?

[pale sigil]

Well my computer is on the floor and I'm in a wheelchair so it's not impossible but annoying af for me to reach

[old marlin]

https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=nwpcie&sort=p&xf=14065_USB-Hub

callum just do me a favor and use this

has excellent filter options

[pale sigil]

So controller receiver, usb drives, mic and possibly mouse receiver

[sharp badger]

Ok just wondering if you need a lot of USB ports? usually one just plug stuff in and it'll be good

[pale sigil]

Honestly it's just to make my life easier.

[sharp badger]

Ok 😎 👍

[pale sigil]

I used my power dock in the past for my oculus sensors etc hahahah

4 bloody usb ports just for VR was annoying af

Back then

[old marlin]

4?

[pale sigil]

CV1 and 3 sensors

[old marlin]

ah

[pale sigil]

They were funky too

[leaden kiln]

only 4? smh

[pale sigil]

They didn't like certain usb ports like 2.0

[old marlin]

was confused cause I haven't used one older than the og rift

[pale sigil]

4 decent powered usb 3.1 ports back then yes

It was annoying

[old marlin]

I think I am running 5 usb devices without vr rn?

[pale sigil]

When sharing with all my other usb devices which I had loads of

[leaden kiln]

I think I use 5 ports just for vr rn

[pale sigil]

ATM I'm using 7 usb ports

[old marlin]

ok I checked usbtreeveiw and I got some mediatek usb device in there idk what that is

[pale sigil]

8 if you include my mouse charger which is actually plugged into my desk lol

[old marlin]

prob some chipset thing

[pale sigil]

The decks usb port comes in handy NGL 🤣

Behold this beautiful mess I can't physically fix myself

[sharp badger]

What desk is that?

[pale sigil]

Well the motors/frame are maidesite but the top is an oak top I got cut and varnished.

[sharp badger]

I see, my brother did something similar

[pale sigil]

https://amzn.eu/d/cxTtffa

[sharp badger]

Is the controls good?

[pale sigil]

I built a standing desk and 7 months later I lost the ability to stand

[sharp badger]

Welp that sucks, still have the possibility to adjust

[pale sigil]

Ye but tbh the safety detector leaves a little to be desired

So it's always locked

[pale sigil]

It's been a godsent

I can go under it at full height lol

Which allows me to do all sorts

[sharp badger]

Yeah cleaning, sorting and so on

[pale sigil]

Like opening my window lol

The only thing I can't clean is my wires.

I've been waiting months for my mum or friend to nail them down

[dusk tartan]

i have a ryzen 7 5700x, rtx 4060 and 32gb ram and on fivem i have like 120fps, what can i change for having like 200fps

[pale sigil]

Download GTA v classic

[dusk tartan]

? what

[ashen spindle]

probably new system all around

[pale sigil]

I'm assuming you're using the enhanced version

[dusk tartan]

i was thinking abt the cpu

[ashen spindle]

cpu yes, gpu idk how much fivem taxes it

[sharp badger]

I've also actually started to think of buying a new PC too lol

[dusk tartan]

how can i check that

[pale sigil]

It will say in your library

[sharp badger]

What is truly the best ''high-end'' performance/value GPU?

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUlZx7dSWYs seems like 9800x3d and decent gpu will do the 200fps

[steel current]

i'm loving the 9070 (non-xt)

[ashen spindle]

probably 9070xt, if its at msrp in your country

if not at msrp uhhhhhhhhhhhh idk time to wait for 5080 super probably then

[dusk tartan]

i have the classic one

[sharp badger]

Cheapest 9070XT is 749€

[dusk tartan]

damnn

[ashen spindle]

thats not too bad

[dusk tartan]

i have like for 400 budget for a better cpu

[sharp badger]

Was thinking of getting a 5080 but should just keep on holding for that super then

[ashen spindle]

you would need new cpu+ram+board

[dusk tartan]

yh... i think soo

sooo 400 isnt enought

[ashen spindle]

not for 200fps in gta online

[dusk tartan]

rip cause i have like 240fps on every game i played but on fivem its like max 120

[sharp badger]

Was thinking of getting the HAVN BF360 and that is releasing in September according to OC3D so i'm not in a rush to buy

[ashen spindle]

5080 super, based on previous 80 super class cards could be great value, but obviosuly we dont know prices, so 9070xt instead would be the better value if thats not out by then

[sharp badger]

Still the build would consist of a 9800X3d & 32GB ram at 6000MT/s

[ashen spindle]

yeah

[sharp badger]

The old 12700K build would get the 16GB DDR5 i don't use and just be reused to something else

[old marlin]

9060xt 16gb is prob better price to performance if you OC it

can achieve similar levels of performance to a 5070 apparently

but "high end" is weird nowadays anyways

[sharp badger]

Don't feel the need to buy a 5090 because that is money wasted for me at least

[dusk tartan]

i was thinking to take R7 7800X 3D for like 350euro and look for a another mother board, but why do i have to change my ram ?

[ashen spindle]

mh 9070non XT with oc probably, but that sucks power quite a bit, but OC isnt guaranteed so I nver really recommend that for builds if I dont know the person

[sharp badger]

If the 5090 would drop down to 4090 or 3090 pricing, sure

[ashen spindle]

DDR4 vs DDR5 ram platforms

non compatible standards

[old marlin]

oh yea

[dusk tartan]

soo i must need like more 600euro for all that or more ?

[pale sigil]

I always forget that exists

Why do you need 200fps for gta

[ashen spindle]

^

[pale sigil]

And? XD

[dusk tartan]

cause im the type of guy who love having max fps haha

[ashen spindle]

and he wants more simple as that

[dusk tartan]

im playing pvp server

[pale sigil]

But GTA has a built in aim bot

[pale sigil]

Fair

Can't English

[ashen spindle]

ram is probably around 100, board like 200 then cpu 450 if you go for 9800x3d, or 350 for the 7800x3d

could use used parts if you want that to get stuff cheaper

[dusk tartan]

i appreciate your help buddy i will need to work more for money xd

[dusk tartan]

i dont have confidence in ppl to buy used things haha

[ashen spindle]

yeah thats fair

[dusk tartan]

but i mean i could sell my pc and buy i new one cause the price of those in new its like 1000euro max

i will think abt all of that

[sharp badger]

Opinions about the MSI MAG X870E EDGE TI? should i look at other white mobos?

Also the compatibility list of memory on motherboard support pages is it just what they've tested that works?

https://www.gskill.com/product/165/377/1649234797/F5-6000J3040F16GX2-RS5K-F5-6000J3040F16GA2-RS5K This is the ram i've got

[ashen spindle]

yeah but 6000 basically works on anything with everything these days

[sharp badger]

Well just have to buy more ram if it won't work

I've got a 16GB kingston kit which i bought at first so would just reuse that with the 12700K and make a home server with it but would just have to use the 32GB kit othewise and buy a 64GB kit or something else if it wouldn't work with the new build

[plush stirrup]

Trackers + headset?

[unkempt lake]

Qvl is useless

Its basically just does it boot yes no

[ashen spindle]

.. thats not useless thats doing what its supposed to do lol

[unkempt lake]

Just check what module it is and generally with that you're good to go

[ashen spindle]

..which you could see form the qvl list

[unkempt lake]

If you boot with one kit of m die you'll boot with another

Yeah i know but

The main thing im trying to say is

Limiting yourself to just that is kinda meh

Use it to figure out what works then see what's the best deal you can get

Or just buy somethibg and then tweak it yourself

@fair gull

cheaper than lexar

[dull hollow]

the notch on the ram sticks are ever so slightly moved over on ddr5 compared to ddr4

so it wouldnt even fit

[plush stirrup]

Samsung/Sandisk seem to be cheaper, depending on what you're looking for

[unkempt lake]

Only Samsung express card i saw was the official one

Sandisk only makes 128 and 256gb

i heard they have 512 in europe now

[plush stirrup]

Sells for 62usd where I live, 256GB (Samsung)

[unkempt lake]

We talking about sd EXPRESS right?

[unkempt lake]

Yeah i have the samsung 256 i got it for 75cad

It's just everything else was out of stock xD

[plush stirrup]

that's even cheaper vs here

[unkempt lake]

And i have a massive sw library

I have a 1tb in my sw1

So i just grabbed the cheapest samsung and was like i'll wait

[plush stirrup]

the 512gb sandisk here is 166cad but idk if it's certified

[unkempt lake]

@plush stirrup i'll stick with my 256gb samsung and 256gb internal till they get cheaper xd

[plush stirrup]

Sounds like a good plan 😛

yay first 5090 video with the common pcie slot crack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XiRsLZ7Ea4

[pale sigil]

There's definitely a benefit to having this right? Would it essentially work like any other powered hub you would plug in?

For example I'm pretty sure plugging a Wooting into it would benefit from it when using tachyon mode.

Past ones I've used didn't use usb c for power input which is why I'm curious.

[raw zephyr]

Yes, if your hub has one, you should definitely use it

[pale sigil]

I think the last one I had was 12v

Sadly it dead af lol

But I don't need to draw a lot of power like I used to years ago with my vr setup.

[raw zephyr]

It's mostly just about data integrity on longer cables

[pale sigil]

Bloody sick of having plugs though ha

Tbf it'll probably be fine without extra power, if I have any issues it'll be there for me to fix.

[raw zephyr]

I remember having issues on my old hub where some devices would report as USB 2.0, got a shorter cable and it was back to 3.0

[pale sigil]

Another thing I can't decide on is 3usb a and 1 usb c or 4 usb a

I would use my apple dongle on it but ATM that's in the back of my system with a 3.5mm extension cable lol

The only other devices I would use usb c wise was phone/external SSD.

I just finished the ultimate Windows XP computer, and I’m too scared to start the restoration on the Macintosh IIVX

[reef patrol]

Mine's more of a "in spirit". The Mac PCBs had long since died from battery acid, and the CRT is... a death sentence waiting to happen. So it's been gutted fully, and I've replaced the CRT with an ipad LCD and a Raspberry Pi running emulation.

It all works on paper, I just need to finish the 3D printed brackets to get everything fitted inside, so it's travel safe.

I used to work in an IT repair store that also did ipad and iphone stuff. So we had a stack of "for parts" ones laying around. I was allowed to grab one and got an LCD board from Aliexpress. Everything works except sound, and that's fine.

WHY

It's also preventing me from clicking "decline" on their cookie banner.

Thoughts?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BQbgcx

[ashen spindle]

seems alright, if you dont need that board you could maybe look for a cheaper one

[iron wave]

I'm going to be using all three of the PCI-e slots.

I can't believe modern boards have so few slots....

[ashen spindle]

well most people only need one

[iron wave]

My workstation has 4 right now.

[ashen spindle]

do they need to all be x16?

[iron wave]

No, but it would be nice if the GPUs were.

[ashen spindle]

because there are cheaper options with 3 slots https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QtnXsY/asus-b650e-max-gaming-wifi-w-atx-am5-motherboard-b650e-max-gaming-wifi-w

[iron wave]

They are only at 8x.

The GPU I have for this computer is 4 slots.

[ashen spindle]

ah right chongus cooler

[iron wave]

I couldn't get a FE. :-(

[ashen spindle]

I mean if the main focus is workstation/pcie intel might be a better choice, arrow lake has better IO

[iron wave]

This one is for VR and junk.

GPU, capture card, 10GB SFP+.

[astral haven]

they are x4 electrical besides the primary, and the primary drops if you use certain m.2s

[iron wave]

Yeah.

Only the GPU is x16, the other things are x4.

[astral haven]

as long as you know

[iron wave]

Currently I have the network card on top of the computer connected to an M.2 slot via OCuLink because I had that stuff on hand and I need to wait for other stuff before I can upgrade the CPU.

[north wasp]

I would never get a 5090

[iron wave]

At this point I likely wouldn't get one. I have no need for 2.

[north wasp]

Why would you even need 2 specifically?

[iron wave]

Double the compute, explicit multi GPU rendering experimentation.

[north wasp]

Yeah but that's not really effective in most applications, you're paying extra $3k for like maybe 15% performance increase, because nvidia sli is no longer being upgraded to handle high thread performance charts.

[ashen spindle]

multi gpu is not sli

mGPU if implemented does still work https://forum.level1techs.com/t/the-zen-of-mgpu/219175

[north wasp]

sure, but isn't there a gap?

since there's a limit on what you can do specifically with mgpu setup?

[ashen spindle]

read the post I linked

[iron wave]

I wish NVLink was a thing.

Imagine a dedicated potentolly faster and lower latency than PCI-e link between GPUs.

Very nice. Don't see many etched cases these days.

[magic minnow]

Actually etched glass

[reef patrol]

Mine's just as faux sticker. But it does the job 😄

[fair gull]

tbf a good sticker might be better.... can always change it another design

[reef patrol]

And a lot cheaper too. Which was why I ended up doing it. The printer who did the UV print on my case suggested a sticker, he could easily put on instead of looking up somewhere to scratch the glass (which would be difficult to replace)

[pale sigil]

Damn I thought it was some magic fuckery with etching

I'm actually more impressed knowing it's a sticker

[iron wave]

I don't like this new case, it forces cable management.

Yeah. Everything isn't in the same chamber.

[iron wave]

I can't put the side panel on right now.

[reef patrol]

Welp.... My Corsair fan controller finally decided to die... sort of.

I was noticing a weird burning plastic smell. Nothing out of the usual but enough to be a red flag in retrospect. Some of my fans suddenly spin really slow or jerk back and forwards. One of the controller's fan headers suddenly won't work. Thankfully it has spares... but I gotta swap it out sooner rather than later.

[plush stirrup]

Does it have any advantages over using motherboard PWM?

[reef patrol]

Not enough voltage or headers. And I need a temp probe header.

[plush stirrup]

temp probe? so you have those fans with built in temp sensors?

[reef patrol]

Watercooling

[plush stirrup]

Fancy

[pale sigil]

Ah nice, more Corsair junk breaks

Shocker :p

https://amzn.eu/d/gPdo1L4

i think corsair being around is great, makes it super easy to weed out 50% of the shit products right away

[flat tapir]

god damn

[reef patrol]

Again - I need temp probes

[pale sigil]

Eh?

Fab temp sensors? Or curves?

[reef patrol]

Sigh... nwm

[pale sigil]

Oh

I see

These?

[reef patrol]

No.. headers... on the fan controller.

Temp probes are two pin

[pale sigil]

Why would the controller have a temp probe

"Two included temperature sensors can be used to accurately monitor temperatures inside the case. "

Doesn't the motherboard do this?..

[reef patrol]

Alright. I can tab out for more than two seconds now.

I use custom watercooling - Well established. My fan speeds are set based on the temperature of the coolant. Which I use a temp probe for. Which needs to plug into the fan controller - so I can set the fans accordingly.

[tribal dirge]

I also have a custom water cooling loop and I use the Aquacomputer OCTO hub and it works great

[reef patrol]

Yeah it'll be something like that. Maybe... at a quarter of the price from Aliexpress.

75€ to do basic fan control is kind of extreme 😄

[tribal dirge]

It can take 8 fans and 4 NTC 100k type temp probes

[tribal dirge]

It's been super reliable though

[reef patrol]

I bet. So was my Corsair controller for about 6 years now.

But now that I no longer need it for corsair fans I don't have, I can swap it. Just haven't gotten around to it, cause it worked fine

[tribal dirge]

Ah

https://videocardz.com/newz/geforce-rtx-5050-falls-behind-arc-b580-and-rtx-4060-in-first-review

[pale sigil]

I should have checked the measurements XD

However this works 👀

Alternatively I could 3d print a bracket for it to attach to

[vapid ruin]

what is dat

[pale sigil]

Usb hub you can attach to desks

Example images

[vapid ruin]

mmm, naisu

[pale sigil]

What

[thick elk]

They are pretty nice yea

[pale sigil]

Stop teasing me

I could cut away some of my desk

[thick elk]

your desk is definitely nicer than mine though, not worth it, could make a 3d-printed adapter for that to work

[pale sigil]

Already doing it

[thick elk]

Wonder what your design is, hmm I generally overcomplicate things myself when it comes to that.

[pale sigil]

Very very very basic

Just a spacer

[thick elk]

Just something that friction fits around the desk with a narrower part to clamp the thing onto?

Maybe a few screws to attach

[pale sigil]

Basically a block to go inside the clamp and that block will be stuck to the desk

Or screwed in if I like it

[thick elk]

Oh stuck on the desk, of course

[pale sigil]

I could use a bracket

[rough patrol]

make a second clamp that you can clamp onto

[pale sigil]

But tbh

[rough patrol]

and another clamp for that one

[pale sigil]

It wouldn't look great

[rough patrol]

clamp maxxing

[pale sigil]

Eg I'm not a fan of this

Unless I got a dock like that

[thick elk]

I would be cautious with screwing / gluing to the front

[pale sigil]

It's kinda pointless to use on this and I would rather return

[pale sigil]

It'll be velcro for testing

If I permanently fix it I'll use some screws, it's solid oak.

[thick elk]

Wouldn't do that in the front personally

[pale sigil]

Oh lmao

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4668172

[pale sigil]

It'll be on the side nor front

So ye I would essentially do this but a much bigger block, idk, starting to wonder if I should just get a usb hub and print a normal bracket

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4822235

Like this

But the usb version not charger

[thick elk]

For the thicker table, would probably have tried something like this, but better:

[pale sigil]

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3101282

[pale sigil]

Not sure what I'm looking at

Oh

[thick elk]

Solution to this:

[pale sigil]

I didn't think of putting them back there tbh

[thick elk]

you mount the thing to hub to the thinner side, the thicker side clamps around the desk, be it with grub screws, will be a little bit further from the desk but still nice enough.

[pale sigil]

Ohhhhh

I see what you mean

That's actually a really good idea

The spacing would annoy me though lol

[thick elk]

you can offset the thinner part vertical to make it flush

[pale sigil]

Like even this much annoys me xd

[thick elk]

Fair

[wheat plume]

Does Steam remote play work when the computer you are streaming from doesnt have a monitor connected?

[thick elk]

will say having ports vertical on the top is a lot more convenient than horizontal

or you could do that but at the back of your desk like me.

also saves the cable towards it being in the way.

[pale sigil]

Ye true and if I put them at the back like your pick it's out of sight out of mind lol

I would have to get an extension cable tho

[thick elk]

Ah you didn't get the usb-c one?

oh wait for what you plug in?

[pale sigil]

I got the usb c one yes

With 3 usb a and 1 usb c

[pale sigil]

I don't wanna worry about data transfers being poop

I guess I can get a usb c to usb c

Not an extension lol

[thick elk]

Honestly don't worry about data transfer speeds much, I am mostly fine if I just hit usb 3.0 speeds

which is not hard to achieve

[pale sigil]

External ssd

[thick elk]

Even then, in practical terms not that important.

most of the time at least.

[pale sigil]

Most usb c cables are usb 2 speeds

[thick elk]

Oh yea that you should avoid

[pale sigil]

Just used some tape to see how it looks

5gb cable

[thick elk]

Watch out for garbage quality no brand cables, been burned by those

[pale sigil]

Aye ik

The problem is anything more than 1m is not cheap lol

[thick elk]

How long does it need to be?

[pale sigil]

I could just put it on the side too

[pale sigil]

1.5-2m

Otherwise when I lift my desk it'll get ripped out lol

[thick elk]

Should not be too bad price wise

[pale sigil]

Yes but at a certain point would it not just be better to buy a normal one XD

The cheapest 2m cable I can find is £15

Or well £13 from a random brand

[thick elk]

a to c or c to c?

[pale sigil]

C to c

[thick elk]

and what speeds are you looking at, but yea 15 seems about right

[pale sigil]

I could get a usb a to usb extension

https://amzn.eu/d/53giCie

This hub is 5bg anyway

[thick elk]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-one-cable-rapid-charging-Black/dp/B0B6422MN3
Honestly this brand is pretty good, had troubles with other 5m hdmi cables hitting 144hz or 4k60 and the kabeldirekt ones have been solid

[pale sigil]

Ayyup

Nice ok, well, as much as I wanna do this now my spasms are acting up. Still curse me for going overkill on the thickness of my desk lol

My workbench is solid oak to and 40mm thick

[thick elk]

You'd think that ugreen is decent but this so called 8k cable definitely a fail vs the kabeldirekt one

[pale sigil]

Ye tbh I've had my own issues with hgrenee

Ugreen

[thick elk]

Most their stuff has been solid but not always.

[ashen spindle]

if it was causing bad performance I believe you would've noticed that by having bad performance

but no doesnt matter

Stop code: Memory Management

[ashen spindle]

get memtest86 and see if your ram is broken

[lunar elm]

it could be EXPO somehow not playing nice as well tbh

had like 2 incidents where expo shat itself

[ashen spindle]

that would be unstable oc yes

[lunar elm]

just my personal opinion i dont count expo as oc lel

[ashen spindle]

well however you count it, it is OC

like, the name is literally Extended Profiles for Overclocking

[thick elk]

100% an overclock for the memory controller. The most you could reasonsbly say is that it's not a overclock of the memory dimms themselves as they have been advertised / rated for those speeds.

The cpu amd motherboard however are not.

[reef patrol]

Time to sue RAM manufacturers and standard makers.

[ashen spindle]

for?

[somber coral]

guys what do i check for when buying a cpu

[ashen spindle]

that it fits what you need? idk thats too vague

[reef patrol]

What do you have now?
Do you expect to upgrade your Motherboard and RAM as well, because you're moving up to a newer platform?
Budget?

So CAN can only transmit 8 bytes at a time?

It is so weird that they say Windows 11 and a 14 year old kernel version.

Oh hey one of the data sheets is from 2000.

It's PCIE-1680 if you care.

[fair gull]

idk why thats a think... its not designed for massive amounts of data

[iron wave]

It just feels like with how popular it is there would be more data per frame.

[fair gull]

yeah well its not popular because of data transmitted

more the rest that comes from it being so simplistic

[iron wave]

CAN FD can do more data at a time, but that's still pretty new and not on so much stuff.

It just feels like cars would have needed more data before now.

[fair gull]

na most of the time its request response stuff anyway

[iron wave]

Huh, this thing has a Lattice part on it.

Also for running Ansys software

hey question Rapid Trigger IS when you do not have to lift the key fully and you can press it again, right? mechanical switches have a fixed actuation. and with a good software and the right switches, the switch resets as soon as you let go.

[sudden imp]

Yes?

@bright briar did you have any other 9070 XT questions

[slate umbra]

My money is on BeamNG. thats what i got 64 +128 for

(64 is the actual RAM, the 128 is an SSD that i had laying around that i installed and formatted as SWAP lmao)

also unrelated but should i spent the money to replace the Raspberry pi 2b that is currently running my NAS lmao

i think its time

[bright briar]

not at the moment

just looking at pc stores in my area

and the only white gpus they have are 5080 msi and gigabyte

only nice white gpus this gen are the 9070xt pure, Aero and Aorus Master Ice

everything else basically sucks balls

aero is in a weird spot

5070ti is 3.5 while 5080 Aero is 2 for SFF

but honestly both shouldve been 3

is that google pay or samsumg wallet?

it wont since apple pay doesnt "clone" the card it creates a proxy card

I like the darkest one
Forgot what one that is now

[vagrant heath]

well they're all dark besides latte (since milk is white i guess)

[wheat plume]

I think frappe is too

[vagrant heath]

well i have it open. it is not xd

but pure luminance wise mocha is the darkest

[lyric hatch]

Coffee

[distant tapir]

Thankfully 17 is going to have 120 Hz for every model according to rumours

[bright briar]

i need to find a new machine for coffee

still on the quest

[steady sail]

Yeah rumors, thats the issur

[distant tapir]

They're most likely true. I see little reason to be skeptical

[lyric hatch]

If rumours/leaks are true the next iPhone is hideous also

[vagrant heath]

img?

[bright briar]

because its no confirmed sources

[distant tapir]

If you buy the pro models yes

[vagrant heath]

wt-

[bright briar]

google pixel clones

[vagrant heath]

[balmy vector]

Iphone 26, iphone 26S iphone 26pro iphone 26 ultra pro max

[vapid ruin]

[sudden imp]

The cameras are still raised 😭

[bright briar]

[vagrant heath]

the 16 base models have this design already

[balmy vector]

Best innovation was the pocket frog app

[bright briar]

mango phone gonna be diff

[balmy vector]

But now it has AI image as app art

[balmy vector]

Easily clears apples M chips

[steady sail]

Tbh i do like this design for some reason

I mean pixel phones design are kinda nice

Atleast it it better than the big circle camera shit on the back

[vagrant heath]

damn i didnt see that

[steady sail]

I do have some dried mangos at home

[lyric hatch]

Not a fan of either look tbh the bar sucks and the big washing machine look also does

[analog sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-freaky-cat-cat-meme-tongue-out-gif-1492882876567450372

[steady sail]

I would look at a bar easily

[vagrant heath]

🤨

[steady sail]

But at this rate i could just go with a 16 pro max and not care about it

[vagrant heath]

i mean theres actually no way they're gonna get the (not so) dynamic island on the back

[steady sail]

Tbh im even looked at the ROG phones as well

[vagrant heath]

ill stick with my 15pm for a while either way

[vagrant heath]

valid point but who actually does THAT much mobile "gaming"

[steady sail]

I would stick with my lil 14 but i wanna get a bigger screen

[vagrant heath]

just use a magnifier

[steady sail]

The only mobile game that i play is Balatro

[fickle ore]

BTODTv made a vid of the Omni https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPqOfbz2ixM

[steady sail]

I meant the screen size

[vagrant heath]

ill just stream my games from pc to phone

[vagrant heath]

it increases it (visually)

[distant tapir]

They sell chairs but they do seem mostly trustable to me

[lyric hatch]

I tend to hold onto my phones for at least 4 years so I'll be in the market again then

[steady sail]

I do wanna get both visually and in person as well

[fickle ore]

BTOD seems reliable idk

[vagrant heath]

the thing that attaches the seat portion to the back looks like GlAdOS

[distant tapir]

Libernovo doesn't ship to my country

[vagrant heath]

my wallet wont survive it anyway so doesnt matter

[fickle ore]

sad :<

I got it, 80$ shippings tho

[steady sail]

700$ for a chair no thanks

[nimble arch]

Cheaper than my Herman Miller

[vagrant heath]

i read 5k first 💀

[fickle ore]

700 is a steal kek

[distant tapir]

It looks great. Much cheaper than my current chair but also looks way better

[fickle ore]

ya

[distant tapir]

If it is as good as it seems then that's a very good price

[vagrant heath]

about 50x my chair

[fickle ore]

BTOD said its more comfortable than Embody etc

[steady sail]

Im happy with my 120$ “gaming” chair

[fickle ore]

wait till ur 30+

using it for work too

[steady sail]

I do physical work soo

Most of the time i stand for 8 hours straight

[vagrant heath]

im outdoorsy (climbing and stuff) so i got my back covered

[steady sail]

Tbh i still wanna get a Titan Evo

[vagrant heath]

my chair always un-adjusts itself xd

[fair gull]

or 22 with only a few years of carrying printers places you shouldnt carry them alone

or with just 2 people when the copier explicitly states 1 person per handle

[worn kernel]

i went to go visit someone today at their office, at some point we talked about PCs so he pulled up his task manager
(i was worried my windows was bloated, on boot i ran 5/32GB RAM usage)
as it turns out i'm fine. cause his pc runs at damn 90% RAM usage (about 29/32GB) with literally nothing open????? HOW

[ashen spindle]

it probably means there was stuff open

[worn kernel]

his process list was huge but the numbers didn't add up
i'm talking about. literally at boot

at boot it started at 80% then went to 90%

[steady sail]

my casual RAM usage

[worn kernel]

is 5/32GB idle usage good

or should i shoot for lower

[ashen spindle]

it doesnt matter

the only time ram usage matters if you run out of it

[worn kernel]

oh

[ashen spindle]

if you dont run out of ram it doesnt matter if you are at 1% or 99%

[worn kernel]

i thought the number of processes running on your computer contributed to
framedrops and stutters and whatnot

[ashen spindle]

cpu usage not ram usage

[worn kernel]

ah, ok

[worn kernel]

(i've been trying to clean stuff out cause so many apps are crashing on me for no reason)

[steady sail]

Reinstall windows at that point

Or just switch to linux

[worn kernel]

i'm already doing my research into that but
i'm an idiot for not knowing how to do a clean install

[ashen spindle]

get usb stick, put windows installer on it, boot onto the usb and do a clean install

or simpler attempt at first just to the reinstall in windows itself

[worn kernel]

i'm figuring this out jeez

look it was just a misconception i had OK

got it

[vagrant pagoda]

free ram is the only wasted ram

[graceful wedge]

Update - Pc is good now, had few software issues since last time but using Microsoft copilot and ChatGPT to held me (it’s helped a massive amount)

[lunar elm]

some other gpus ive had in

[whole osprey]

Hey, everyone! I am looking to buy a 360hz 27 inch OLED 1440p Monitor but I am not sure which one to get. What monitor would you personally recommend? Currently, I am looking at the Samsung G6 OLED, Alienware AW2725DF, and ASUS XG27ACDNG. I am debating between the Asus or the Alienware. I know the Samsung have issues where the power button would just fall off after some use and its not covered by warranty. Meanwhile Alienware have bricking issues but is covered by warranty. I haven't seen much complaints with the Asus one but I heard about the horror stories with their customer service. So between the Alienware and Asus which one would you personally pick or do you guys have any other suggestions?

[dull hollow]

me and @bright briar currently using the g60sd but goku had the Alienware before

[whole osprey]

@sonic adder Hi thank you for responding. What will you personally recommend? (I don’t know much about monitors)

[whole osprey]

Have you had any issues with the power button falling off? Other than that issue how is the monitor?

[dull hollow]

and the screen coating

some are picky

[whole osprey]

I don’t mind the coating. I don’t mind if it is glossy or matte.

Just trying to buy an oled monitor but not sure which one to go for

[dull hollow]

not with the ones ive used

[dull hollow]

all oled policies/warranties are shit like what @sonic adder said
