didn't you have a shidenkai before?

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

Yeah

old marlin Nov 25, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

mayeb try something like an allsop raindrop, hyperx fury speed s or mionix alioth

#

what makes you switch to the zero lol

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

I've an issue...

pale sigil Nov 25, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

Ahhh I hate that amd and their million pins

#

Scares the fuck out of me

old marlin Nov 25, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

intel has a similar amount

#

they just are on the mainboard

#

and much more fragile

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

Where I involuntarily move the mouse when clicking because I seem to click with slight lateral force

#

So I need something just a notch slower

#

Not that I don't love the Shidenkai

#

But it worked much better for me with the G600

Newegg had already sold out in the US before 9am

old marlin Nov 25, 2019, 5:43 PM

@zenith sonnet the zero is more than just a notch slower

#

it is the slowest pad they sell

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

Is it?

#

Didn't feel that slow to me

#

Maybe it's just right, though

Is it normal for ryzen to spike so much

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

voltage? yes

#

though newer bios versions made it happen less often. did you update bios?

pale sigil Nov 25, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

This is a new build I’ve done

#

I’m going to update the bios soon

#

Just installing stuff

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 6:15 PM

I know hence I asked if the bios was updated or might still be an older one :p

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 6:17 PM

And yes, it's normal
Happens usually during low load

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

Kinda sad about how little Black Friday deals there are that are actual sales, genuinely hoped I’d at least find like 20€ off on a not crap ssd

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

Oh

#

Right

#

Ordered stuff today

#

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/PNgTJb

#

Saved 50€ in the Mobo, RAM and CPU due to deals

#

@ashen spindle Look at the XPG SX8200 Pro

#

Only thing missing are the PSUs

#

And watercooling parts

#

The case is on backorder until Christmas 😦

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

that one does look nice, though its only like 10 less than the samsung I found

#

meh

#

maybe I'll find something on friday

#

im also very confused at your psu

#

I'd get one for like 100 less and a 3800x instead or so

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

I'll sell the 3700X next year and get a Zen 3 CPU

#

Thought it'd probably have the best resale value

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

I mean a 3800x will sell for more than a 3700x lmao

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

But also cost more

#

I think I'd lose more

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

yes so save the difference by getting a not stupidly expensive psu

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

It's middle field?

#

Corsair AX are over 400

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

you plan on using dry ice cooling for your cpu or what

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

Nah, why?

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

because without exactly knowing the powerdraw of a 7 I'd estimate 550W psu would suffice

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

It's probably the second best on the market though

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

yeah or you pay sub 100 for a platinum rated one

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 7:41 PM

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

So I guess they cheaped out on something

#

For that money I could get a Prime Ultra Platinum 650W

ashen spindle Nov 25, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

550w version is like 95 at mindfactory

#

and I think that's enough but would need to double check that gpu's powerdraw

#

got 550 for my 8600k and 1080 and thats easily enough

zenith sonnet Nov 25, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

The GPU is 240W average in Witcher 3, peak should be around 300-320W

zenith sonnet Nov 26, 2019, 2:30 PM

In April, Mark Cenry mentioned to Wired that PS5 will use a new advanced SSD technology that will be customized to provide access speeds that are higher than anything currently avaiable on the PC market. In the months after that, AMD introduced PCIe Gen4 to PC users, boosting SSD speeds from ~3GB/s to ~5GB/s [and above for RAID solutions]. Many have believed that Sony would use some version of this traditional NAND tech, only optimized for faster use and smaller CPU overhead.

But now, Sony has detailed their new big persistent memory technology push that aims to become direct competitor in to Intel's Optane. They call it Cross Point ReRAM, and they are accelerating to deliver it to market in 2020. Advantage of ReRAM is ability to become cheaper with smaller process nodes [Optane will not be easy beyond 14nm], faster speeds than NAND, less power and heat than NAND, etc. They are focusing a lot of their efforts on making a smart and low-power controller for this type of drive.

Target specs:
128GB drive [8 x 16GB] - 25.6 GB/s read, 9.6 GB/s write, PCIe gen5 x8, target wattage 14.6W+
256GB drive [16 x 16GB] - 51.2 GB/s read, 19.2 GB/s write, PCIe gen5 x16, target wattage 27.2W+

#

I want to believe

reef patrol Nov 26, 2019, 3:05 PM

#

I hope not. It makes third party drivessuch a pain, if they get away with that cartridge format.

fair gull Nov 26, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

the question now is: why

tawny prism Nov 26, 2019, 3:09 PM

#

It sounds like an existing SSD tech, which is Single Layer Chips, and is extraordinarily expensive and difficult to produce.

zenith sonnet Nov 26, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

Well, guess they need selling points vs. the XBox

fair gull Nov 26, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

single layer cells*

#

or single level cell depending on what u prefer

#

i mean just buy a Nimbus Data DC100

those have like 75PB of writes

wattage seems.. high? 😮

You could argue it is abusing the "discount" concept not having a meaningful discount. The ombudsmand loves those.

Also a price has to be stable for six weeks running, before a discount (To avoid fudging prices a few weeks up to)

I'm sure they do - Thankfully price matching sites catch it. And if you did that in Denmark, you'd get slapped with a fun fine and paying customers could get a forced discount.

I don't see the Steam controller work well with VR games. So they're most likely working hard on more VR hardware moving forward.

What is "relative performance" though

#

Did they use a specific benchmark?

Usually crystal disk iirc

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 11:15 AM

but which version?

hopefully the Shizuku edition

zenith sonnet Nov 28, 2019, 11:18 AM

@feral jolt They had like 10 different benchmarks

That's the average across all

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

somebody here did stuff with liquids in blender before?

#

couldn't get mine to behave like it should

#

before it kinda got stuck in a tube it should go through

#

so I lowered viscosity

#

now it just splashes everywhere and deletes itself

fair gull Nov 28, 2019, 1:24 PM

#

lowered too much

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

yea probably

#

I try higher visocisty now

#

granuality might be too low

#

it also sticks to the inside of the tube

#

dunno if I borked a setting there

fair gull Nov 28, 2019, 1:41 PM

#

sticking to the walls sounds more like weight and surface tensions

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 1:52 PM

#

well

#

it is two seperate problems

#

atm I am messing aroudn with a slight force field on the tube

#

and see if that works

#

probably messes everything up lol

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 2:15 PM

now it became portal gel lol

halcyon moss Nov 28, 2019, 2:16 PM

well thats a new game idea 😉

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

isn't for a game actually

#

I just wanna understand how liquid works in blender

pale sigil Nov 28, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

Can someone help me understand

#

my mobo says 1× M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4) / 6× SATA 6G

#

the m.2 i got is

#

m.2 2280

#

im sure its compatible right

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

2280 basically gives yo uthe lenght

pale sigil Nov 28, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

Ah

#

I see!

#

I never understood this.

#

Nice to klnow

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

I doubt that you can actually find a somewhat decent SSD that wouldn't fit on any modern board that has the slot

#

since they basically are all teh same lenght by now

pale sigil Nov 28, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

the one i got is tiny

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

some wack OEM and enterprise stuff, but hard to coem by

#

they all are tiny

halcyon moss Nov 28, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

unless you have a MS surface 3, which has the tiniest m.2 slot

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

a stick of gum is the closest analogy I can find

pale sigil Nov 28, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

deffo gonna fit

📎 unknown.png

#

xD

halcyon moss Nov 28, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

those 3 screw holes allow you to fit all m.2 sizes

reef patrol Nov 28, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

4* holes 😛

pale sigil Nov 28, 2019, 2:36 PM

#

oh the screw is already in there

chrome estuary Nov 28, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

2280 is basically the standard size. 2242 is like what youd slap into the wwan port on a laptop.

reef patrol Nov 28, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

Sure - 99% of M.2 uses 2280.

#

A few ones from laptops use the shorter one - usually with an adapter bracket. Never seen anything with the longest one - 22110

zenith mirage Nov 28, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

my m.2 didn't come with the standoff, just the screw, so it's kinda just stuck in there

#

works fine tho, just kinda miffed

reef patrol Nov 28, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

The drives never come with screws or standoff. That's up to the motherboard

zenith mirage Nov 28, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

hmmm

#

so they just threw a screw in to confuse me

reef patrol Nov 28, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

Mhmm.

zenith mirage Nov 28, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

whack

reef patrol Nov 28, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

You don't really NEED either. I have ran M.2 drives just hanging in the connector shortterm. Electrical tape could do longer term in a pinch 😄

zenith mirage Nov 28, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

well the motherboard didn't come with one either so i guess i was SOL there

#

either way it works as i said, just something i was confused about

old marlin Nov 28, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

teh motherboard should have the screw and the standoff

#

you can even see it in the picture above

pale sigil Nov 28, 2019, 3:15 PM

they are usually already in

or included in a bag

anyone good with monitor issues?

#

i have an old benq monitor that's 1920x1200 (got it for free otherwise i wouldn't be using this res lol)

i was able to get my resolution to display properly using a GTX 460 through DVI, but I'm trying to upgrade to a GTX 1660 ti/HDMI (it doesn't have a DVI port)

the scaling is all fucked and 1920x1200 doesn't show up as an option in windows or nvidia display settings; I tried setting a custom res in nvidia settings and it kept changing it back to 1920x1080

pale sigil Nov 29, 2019, 1:30 AM

It should scale fine via hdmi

latent mural Nov 29, 2019, 1:39 AM

except it's not lol

reef patrol Nov 29, 2019, 8:33 AM

Could be a bad cable I guess

It's an active adaptor, so the chip inside probably can't handle 16:10

1920x1200 is not even uncommon...

it was after they got ATI so maybe to unify the colors and not have green vs green in the gpu market

Ati was red

I like it, where did you get the blue pentagonal cube from?

It's the packaging of the 9900K

Oh wow

I just got an order confirmation for stuff I received yesterday

That means someone over at Alphacool does this manually and works on a Saturday evening 😂

reef patrol Nov 30, 2019, 6:54 PM

I imagine they did it while packing.

#

Here you get an order confirmation - no legal use. Then you get an order confirmation once it has actually run through the system, and someone's packing it or had packed it

zenith sonnet Nov 30, 2019, 6:55 PM

Well, I chose PayPal checkout without making an account on their website
Not surprising if someone has to go through it manually to send me a confirmation mail

performance of them is okay

comparable with meh paste

reef patrol Nov 30, 2019, 10:34 PM

Four tiny dips of glue on the corners and you've got a perfect OEM "paste" solution 😄

old marlin Nov 30, 2019, 10:34 PM

the difference is how long you can use it

reef patrol Nov 30, 2019, 10:35 PM

Exactly?

old marlin Nov 30, 2019, 10:35 PM

and that you can reuse it

the VII is discontinued

they don't make that anymore

zenith sonnet Nov 30, 2019, 11:05 PM

That is true

old marlin Nov 30, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

just because of the similarity in how the cards operate it will get indirect support by optimizations for other cards

ashen spindle Dec 1, 2019, 2:49 PM

#

you kinda excluded an important part there

#

it covered everything from smalles to biggest in equal steps between, seems like a good idea from 1855

#

???? where is your issue with that

#

you want them to not have any standard sizes or what

#

no that would be dumb

#

because why would you make a standard, where its made after naming convenince instead of practical reasons

#

thats not what I said

#

I said it would be dumb to base the standardized sizeson the measurement system

#

because why would you make a standard, where its made after naming convenince instead of practical reasons

#

if the next "Step" for the size would be 2.165 for example, why change that to 2 or whatever you would prefer, instead of keeping the steps the same and in turn just call that the x-th size of your system

however its causing the script to constantly open a new window

check if the script has admin

@pale sigil 144Hz. VRR. Anti-lag. Proper moue. All steps toward a smoother gameplay that were noticeable.
To be fair, I don't recall when I switched the keyboard.

pale sigil Dec 3, 2019, 1:11 PM

Anti lag is amd right

old marlin Dec 3, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

ye

#

but tbh it doesn't do a lot

#

saves a single frame of input delay AT BEST

fickle ore Dec 3, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

In CPU-bound scenario you have 0 pre-rendered frames

#

so there is no need for anti-lag or nvidia equivalent

old marlin Dec 3, 2019, 1:48 PM

yea

#

makes no difference

fickle ore Dec 3, 2019, 1:49 PM

you still have double buffered rendering though

@old marlin Doesn't make any difference if I run 2133 JEDEC or 3200 XMP

#

It's entire memory channels missing

got another CPU to test on that board?

Nope

Swapped the factory original 160GB HDD to a cheap 240GB SSD (which it will realistically never be able to use because SATA1, but it removes a bit of weight and adds lifespan). Also upgrade the whopping 2x128MB (yes MEGABYTE - This was 2004) RAM to 2! GIGABYTES through sheer luck. Found two completely new DDR1 sticks in the back of the shop I work at.

i dont really think an ssd adds lifespan

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 9:15 AM

#

They don't break as easily since there are no moving parts, and they don't need to be remagnetized for data safety.

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

except that i now have read multiple times that SSDs lose their data in 1-2years while HDD can be stored for around 5-10years

#

depending on certain factors

#

and unless you carry your iMac around i wouldnt worry about moving parts

#

i have multiple HDDs that lasted well over 4 years by now

#

running each day

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 9:32 AM

#

I have lost a lot more HDDs than SSDs over the years 😄

#

At any rate - SSD was free.

old marlin Dec 5, 2019, 9:34 AM

#

the thing is

#

that has an old HDD in there

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 9:54 AM

#

i mean replacing it wasnt the issue

#

just from experience lost a shit ton more SSDs than HDDs

#

kinda sad i didnt take a pic from our dead drive collection

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 9:57 AM

#

The thing here is - I'm not going to be powering this on for much on average. And HDDs are more likely to lose data from staying unpowered and unspooled for long periods of time compared to an SSD.

No magnetism - Just switches set in place without power phases holding them in place. And potentially faster even on SATA1 due to no seek time.

#

Not that it's going to matter. I moved about 25GB in total over to it, and a lot of that are imaged game cd's to play games that I haven't been able to find cracks for...because this is 2000s Apple releases 😄

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 9:59 AM

#

like i said all reports i have read said HDDs start losing data at around 5years unpowered were SSDs do around 1-2years unpowered

#

unless you bake your harddisks and expose it to ionizing radioation

#

both of which affect SSDs and HDDs

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

Half to a whole year actually.

bold tide Dec 5, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

my hdd is 5 years old and still works great suprisingly

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

SSDs don't lose data passively like this.

feral jolt Dec 5, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

i recently pulled my old pictures off a phone from 2007, no noticeable data loss, everything worked fine

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 11:26 AM

#

@reef patrol what they do literallygoogle it there even have been studies about this

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 11:26 AM

ablobsigh

#

I don't care either way - I put a bloody SSD in the dang thing, and I am not going to put an old HDD in it 😛

#

bcaSleep1

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 11:27 AM

#

otherwise everyone would use ssds instead of magnetictapes for cold storage

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 11:27 AM

#

Except you know... cost. 😛

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 11:27 AM

#

why would they care

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 11:27 AM

#

Needn't I remind you that a 3.84TB SSD is hilariously expensive. Compared to magnitudes more storage worth of tape 😄

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 11:28 AM

#

there are 100TB SSDs for like 15grand

#

not really exensive imo

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 11:28 AM

#

Yes...but no. They announced one in 18. Which is 3.5"

#

Also... expected pricetag was something in the area of like 50K USD. So.. again. Tape.

#

You don't need speed for storage.

old marlin Dec 5, 2019, 11:30 AM

#

tape is extremely scalable

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 11:32 AM

#

Anyhoo - Returning back to initial point. The damn thing had an ancient 160GB HDD in it from 2004. I dumped a cheap 240GB SSD in it (Which is going to outlast the Mac anyway with all likelyhood), and I need like 25GB of data space in total anyhow for my ENTIRE old Mac game library including discs.

EOD 😛

#

Now feel free to continue discussing merits of SSD versus Tape for sotrage. 😄

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 11:36 AM

#

@reef patrol u know that uh since i already sold 2 of those they exist

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 11:36 AM

#

bcaWorking1

#

Good! They still don't make sense for STORAGE. They make sense in a scenario where you need speed AND STORAGE.

#

Enterprise or not, money ain't growing on trees - Especially as you need to scale.

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 11:37 AM

#

what was your scenario again

#

sata1?

reef patrol Dec 5, 2019, 11:37 AM

#

My scenario is getting my shit on a Mac, where I won't have to worry about it starting to suddenly click and die after a year at random, if my cat decides to topple it 😄

fair gull Dec 5, 2019, 11:37 AM

#

but ya since SSDs dont lose their data like ever in 3 billion years we will switch to all SSD

Mhmm. Getting the old battery out is actually the tricky part. Those glue strips have a tendency to break, so you gotta force the battery up a bit and grab it again 😄

zenith sonnet Dec 5, 2019, 1:12 PM

@fair gull SSDs lose data after 1-2 years on a shelf without power
If they're powered, this doesn't happen

Whoops, shoulda read the whole thread first :p

@fair gull why use promises when you can use async/await? spinthink

Two column looks terrible on most everything. I bet it'd look nice on super ultrawide, only because it's literally two monitors in one

@sick creek because async await uses promises

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function

MDN Web Docs

async function

The async function declaration defines an asynchronous function, which returns an AsyncFunction object.
