is it your own design?
vagrant marsh
yea
crisp granite

we can paint our stuff with electricity, then it goes into an oven to melt it
vagrant marsh
dunno. it charges the paint and it sticks on the surface
vagrant marsh
the color/paint used is called roteb black
crisp granite
hm
crisp granite
of course matte finishes are better
vagrant marsh
designed this thing myself. at the perfect height. my chair fits perfectly under it
crisp granite
nice
maybe I should build my own
knock out multiple projects at once
cuz I also want to make a desk pc
ditch the tower entirely
vagrant marsh
closed or with glass top plating so you can see the insides?
crisp granite

I haven't really decided yet
I'm thinking of including a wireless charging pad for my mouse as well

vagrant marsh
after brexit, its a whole lot further away
crisp granite
pissing distance
crisp granite
nope
vagrant marsh
i would have to check
gonna be honest and say that probably wont be as cheap as i had in mind
wheat plume
True ....
vagrant marsh
like, if it would be germany or belgium, i could have delivered myself and ud only pay for gas. england gets a little bit tricker. well, they are in lockdown i think so it would be hard getting in either way. but ireland is even further away, so that would mean we would have to call in a transport company
sorry

THIS IS FUNNY
Yeah I have to agree with reddit on this one
AMD deserves a shit ton more flak than Nvidia for their launch
NV might have fucked theirs, but not this badly
ashen spindle
yup, marketing just had to shut up and probably everything would've been fine
ashen spindle
it says REF so I assume its one of the things they sold last week and their stats dont track well
ashen spindle
or it was send from them rather than the shop requesting it regularly
old marlin
oof
ashen spindle
also why post shit like this with the date cut off, that just makes more confusion if you dont know from when it is
also could just mean AMD itself wont put them into AU but you can get the MBA designs fron xfx etc still
old marlin
lol
ye sure UB
ah yes
"market share"
aka how many benchmarks have we got with it
VERY important figure btw
ashen spindle
thank god they protect us from the vile AMD shill that is HUB and GN (who is also currently busy shilling for amd and nvidia at the same time)
old marlin
GN shills everyone by principle already
they don't even shit on intel at every opportunity
so they shill them too
old marlin
obv
vagrant marsh
So there are no 6800's?
thick elk
Obviously an Intel shill, they even made a award just for them: Best CPU for Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1080P with Medium Settings and using Dx12 API
pale sigil
some places are getting gpus today/tomoz
3080s
that aren't for pre order
hoping to snag one
ashen spindle
yeah, they gave intela spot but not a single ARM cpu in there? clear intel shills
ashen spindle
not amazing but it can handle it

Pure maple syrup
crisp granite
what did it look like?
cursive summit
@ashen spindle That's why I stopped questioning her a whole long time ago
crisp granite
the packaging?
cursive summit
@crisp granite Kinda in a rum-like glass bottle
With a tiny circle for "handle"
That was a long ass time ago though
crisp granite
did it taste slightly burnt?
wheat plume
sounds like you tried golden syrup
cursive summit
Dunno
crisp granite
yeah
cursive summit
But it was pure maple syrup
wheat plume
golden syrup is shit :')
cursive summit
Lemme google that shit
crisp granite
table syrup is made from corn, so it tastes like captain crunch
but way worse
I stick to maple
and maple sticks to me
cursive summit
Couldn't find the exact thing
But looked very similar to this
Label was fancier though
cursive summit
More brown and had a more fancy font
crisp granite
I wanna see the other side
cursive summit
Fuck off doge 
crisp granite
so either that's not maple syrup or you're fucking with me and love the stuff
cursive summit
Nope I'm not fucking with you
crisp granite
hm
crisp granite
I've seen some corn syrup with a bit of maple labeled "maple syrup", maybe that's what you had?
cursive summit
Dunno
crisp granite
did it taste like a really sweet bowl of captain crunch?
crisp granite
marmite is ok
cursive summit
I dunno what captain crunch is
crisp granite
yup
cursive summit
I only like wheat puffs or choco balls

I just hotfixed my Roccat Ryos MK Pro. It had an issue where if you mashed the right side of the space bar (and let go of the key over and over), the left side of it pop off.
I put some plastic from a tissue packet on top of the plus-shape on the left stabiliser and mashed the space button into place.
Works great now.

ashen spindle
they dont make the memory so it doesnt matter
its not a shady brand lol
they just dont do anything outside memory from what I know
ashen spindle
depends
usually the same
comes down to if the 16gb sticks are dr/sr, if you can get the same speeds and timings as on 8gb modules etc.
usually the same though
ashen spindle
sure, UK people seem to like to waste money so go for it
ashen spindle
dont matter

Bit late on that.
ASRock suddenly removed the CPUs from the lists. Most like AMD pressuring them to, so they gotta wait till January for the "official" support.
Aka. "We've sold enough new motherboards now."
No wait - I am thinking of 400 series boards.
This is neat - But also entirely expected of AMD 😄
ASRock have always been known to push the envelope and piss off AMD and Intel with stuff like letting people OC locked CPUs and such.
ashen spindle
as long as they allow it again after january, I don't see the issue, if something doesnt work in a lot of cases they would then blame amd rather than asrock here
ashen spindle
ye but we could also see this return then
reef patrol
Doubt it - 300 was never promised.
They said "We don't support it, fullstop".
Which means every manufacturer has to control which boards allow it or not themselves.
ashen spindle
I know, I'm still waiting till january to blame amd or not for stopping that :p
after all it would be quite weird to have 400 bios in january but then have some 300 work before that date?
reef patrol
If you can find a 400 compatible BIOS, you could do it now 😄
ashen spindle
im all for throwing rocks at companies, but just like this the gpu launch, I also didnt throw one before the aib (not-)launch to complain about stock :p
practically 0 supply when touting not a paper launch, that's bullshit, but we couldnt really know that for sure till yesterday
honestly kinda annoyed I can't really got with a 3080 at this point since I've seen them in stock a few times at msrp I'd just take whatever comes up first, but 6gb ram less and higher powerdraw? ehhhh

it's gonna be a doge knife doge world during the next launch

why do you remove your text doge?
removing redundancies and things I forget mid-post, as well as things I could phrase better

it reads better

@urban lynx How much did you pay for it?
I sincerely hope it's not above 130 euros
Damn I'd even say you were better off saving up a lil bit more for something a whole lot more powerful
Tbh they aren't that much more expensive, and whole lot more competitive
Especially for a 1440p screen

TWM when windows shits itself and doesnt want to show up in BIOS or GRUB when you reinstall Linux ON THE OTHER FUCKING SSD
ashen spindle
and what makes you know it's not linux that caused it
wheat plume
because if it was linux related it would show up in BIOS still and not GRUB
vagrant marsh
GRUB!!
ashen spindle
not really, why would it not have a chance at causing issues but windows has, same thing either way around
wheat plume
The solution to this problem is to try to boot into Linux and mount the windows drive to repair windows boot manager
sounds pretty much like a windows problem since the solution is in windows
crimson wigeon
Sounds more like a you problem wrecking the loader

on the nexus, it often happens that mod a breaks mod b, but its mod b's fault for having inefficient coding in the first place

vagrant marsh
nah. newer mods often break older mods
cursive summit
Dunno I haven't seen a mod break another mod

maybe ur just not modding enough

@neat oriole Are DT770s, 880s and 990s the same thing?
Or sound wise equal?
Beyer EU has all of them on great discounts
120-150 euros each
neat oriole
880 is the best one
cursive summit
I can't find anything of HD 650/6XX caliber
neat oriole
HD560s is ok if you’re EU
wheat plume
neat oriole
770 is closed back and very muddy, 990 is open back and very sharp, 880 is semi open and a lot less sharp
Although for all practical reasons the 880 is open back
cursive summit
Isn't 990 the best one here? 😄
neat oriole
No
cursive summit
I like sharp though.
neat oriole
I mean, it’s very shouty in the treble
cursive summit
Oh btw for a complete and utter moron, the ohm impedance, does it matter and influence the sound in any way?
Cause beyer allows you do with 24 250 I think and 600 for free
neat oriole
On Beyers, higher is better
cursive summit
In general?
neat oriole
Within the same model lineup yeah higher is better
cursive summit
Does it need special equipment to drive or is it just a free upgrade?
neat oriole
So the 880 600ohm will need an amp, 880 250ohm can work with meizu dongle
cursive summit
Will it work via just plug n play?
neat oriole
Plugging into what
wheat plume
I ran it again and its higher now
cursive summit
I think Beyers come with 6.5 to 3.5 adaptor, so just plug that into PC and do shit?
neat oriole
You could, idk how well onboard is going to drive the 250 ohms
I’d still get a dongle
cursive summit
Guess it's 3.5 to the dual mono thingy
cursive summit
Yeah it splits to audio and mic
But with a dongle I won't be able to use the mic right?
cursive summit
Oh right
Yeah that'd mean I need a dedicated mic
But that's fine I do want something really good
neat oriole
You could also take a look at the sennheiser HD560s
It’s also a pretty alright option if you can’t get a 600/650/6XX
misty pier
could get a modmic
I have one but they’re kind of pricey
they do require a boost since they’re kind of quiet
neat oriole
Looks bad, hard to get off, also cable management with a modmic is kind of a mess

I kind of want the new O11 Dynamic Mini
And a 3080 when they're in stock haha. I waited up on launch day only to have everything immediately go to s**t.

The Mini is awesome. Far too small for me though 😄
idle ingot
I enjoy the smaller builds. I only have mAtx at the moment though
I'd love something like the NZXT H1
I have the H400
reef patrol
Yeah I'd love to rebuild wife's PC into a H1 or a Mini.
She's using the A1 right now and it's a tad too cramped.
I've accidentally bent a few header pins on occasion
idle ingot
If I had money, I think i'd like to just have the PC across the room, and run fiber optic display port and usb cables from it to my desk.
idle ingot
It would probably require many smaller usb hubs.
i have a 10 port under my desk, and if I have too many things plugged in it resets often
So my headphone amp, audio interface, and mouse are plugged in to my computer while everything else is on the hub.
it'd be a lot cleaner if I could just have everything on the hub.
hard thicket
TB3 is more or less the key to such a setup
hard thicket
and the displayport cable lenght will become a issue
yup
he updated it recently aswell
hard thicket
yep
old marlin
so like 6 years by now
hard thicket
but he has like just a wall inbetween
so the overall distance ain't huge
once you pass the 8m mark, things will get troublesome
old marlin
nah
he uses an optical TB3 cable
so length is irrelvant
they sell them in quite long lengths
like 30m iirc
plush summit
old marlin
ah wait
hard thicket
whats the range on optical ones ?
old marlin
they are expensive af though
hard thicket
for sure
old marlin
actually over 50M lol
hard thicket
active cables are always pricy
hard thicket
totally affordable
hard thicket
it makes more sense to use 50gbit ethernet cables
nvm i take it back
3m 100gbit cable for 800 bucks
why not
15m long 25gbit optical cable for 2800€
totally forgot how expensive enterprise gear can be
crisp granite
Wait a minute...is this a pre built?
@vagrant marsh nope
and yes
very cheap mobo
only $130 CAD
it's a dirt cheap B450 with everything I need
besides
no point in getting a nice AM4 board with features I won't use
crisp granite
yup
ashen spindle
was gonna say, got a nice b550 for 120 just now
crisp granite
it's got good vrms though
same as the B450 tomahawk
besides
not like the motherboard affects performance much
ashen spindle
not really ye
crisp granite
so
less money there
more money for gpu
or a nicer ram kit since I'm running ryzen
crisp granite
not for $130 cad

first one arrived, second one comes next week
and the wateeblocks in a month..

wait, the 3090 dont have much stock issues? 
crisp granite
nope
it's the one gpu you can get here no problem
if you have $2000 CAD to spare
ashen spindle
eyy, I grabbed a gpu
they randomly had a 6800 on stock, got it and it was gone lmao
crisp granite
you got a 6800?
ashen spindle
non xt sadly but ye
ashen spindle
so now I'll just keep an eye out if I can grab something else and send this one back within 14 days
but if not I at least have something decent and dont need to grab a really bad one incase my 1080 does full die

and if I find an XT after the 14 day return period, I can just sell this one to a friend who was looking to get one, so worth it either way
crisp granite
nice
ashen spindle
and if he got one when I get a better model, I think there are at least 2 people here who'd want to get it from me then :p
ashen spindle
I mean I could do that, but only at an extra price :p
vagrant marsh
Sucki sucki good time?
ashen spindle
no that would be how much I probably would need to pay already lel
ashen spindle
nah we just trade, I give him my 6800xt for his 6900xt :p

pale sigil
I doubt you’re gonna get an xt
ashen spindle
I'm fine with getting one later next year, still gonna switch at that point and only lose limited value from selling my non xt
ashen spindle
eyy @fickle ore https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzI62SrDou6nkKc1894AaABCQ
looks like we might get some nice benchmark results then
ashen spindle

vagrant marsh
The earphones i bought and the costs for sending it back
reef patrol
Must have been a vintage soundblaster 32
ashen spindle

vagrant marsh
Fuckers didnt believe it was the law to also refund the costs for sending it back
So ive send then 7 pages of government website explenation
XD
reef patrol
I mean... not unless they broke 😄

”Some traders may not charge you for returning your goods. However, they should tell you in advance (before you order) if you will have to pay if you decide to return your order. If they don't tell you that you must pay for your return, the trader will have to pay for it. You don't have to pay any other charges that you were not informed of.”
Curry’s just got stock for a 3080

Any good Black Friday deal I should know of?
ashen spindle
well if I get an XT I'll make sure to ask either of you two if you want my 6800 :p
pale sigil
I’d probably take it at this point

I was thinking about buying 2tb Samsung evo 970 plus for 250€ but not sure if I do not want to wait for pcie gen 4 SSDs
crisp granite
not like games really take advantage of them
shadow minnow
I will have use for SSDs soonest Q1 2021
And not sure if some of features with GPU accessing ssd could not have difference between gen 3 and 4
shadow minnow
uh, I noticed, 250 for that evo is the normal price lmao
For evo plus?
ashen spindle
ye
shadow minnow
Always costed 100€ more in my country
ashen spindle
3 different stores here all have it for that price lmao
shadow minnow
I can not say the same
pale sigil
Wtf ebuyer, they have pre orders up for £1000
ashen spindle
yeah we also have on store here that has preorders for everything opne
with 6800xt prices starting at 950 for the cheapest lmao
fuck that
pale sigil
Even I’m not that desperate 🤣
ashen spindle
im tempted to call this one local store
they have 3080s in stock for 1300
ask for it, ask for a lower price, then tell them to go fuck themselves
zenith mirage
What's the worst that can happen
ashen spindle
I mean I never went to them anyway bc they are fucking scammers with their prices not only on gpus
wheat plume
The CMT510 is one of the more attractive cases that my eyeballs have had the oppourtunity to molest
vagrant marsh
Wvery store.i visited says 6800xt is in stock next year
crisp granite
nice
I just checked canada computers yesterday
If I put in a 3080 backorder

2023
silent latch
i'm in shock
silent latch
i was like "oh this is a good time to upgraded my computer"...but is it though?
crisp granite
and they get a few cards per week
silent latch
yeah, that makes sense... i'm sure the speed will pick up at some point but...
crisp granite
may have paid a lot more than I planned on though
I was gonna buy a reference one
but ended up spending a lot more and getting one of the high end AiB custom cards
silent latch
yeah i'm trying to avoid paying premiums
well, getting a fancier card is an option i suppose
silent latch
i want an AMD cpu and graphics card... so far it's not going well XP
yeah, MSRP is generally what i want to stick to
no encouraging scalpers/price gouging if i can avoid it
ashen spindle
well cpu is relatively easy to get
silent latch
is it? Been a struggle so far
ashen spindle
well, unless you shoot for a 5950 I guess
ashen spindle
ah, valid usecase then
silent latch
realistically though
ashen spindle
yeah my 5600x in my closet is happy I finally ordered the rest to put it into a system lol
silent latch
a 5900 is probably good enough, considering the price it might be a better option even? But i am dumb
yeah
i imagine those are more available
ashen spindle
5600>5900>5800>5950 in terms of availibility
silent latch
interesting, but it makes sense considering how they're produced
ashen spindle
in theory the last two could be switched, but it makes more sense to make one 5950 instead of two 5800 for margin I think
vagrant marsh
I could buy my 2070 at launch
Now i cant buy a card until new year
I hate this world
Humanity ia suffering from over population cause all the old people live longer. Now we got a virus that majorily hits old people. Its nature's problem solver. And instead of accepting it, we cripple ourselves.
ashen spindle
uhhh, you do realize the gpu shortage has basically nothing to do with it?
vagrant marsh
The virus crippled the global economy. Ofcourse its the cause for the huge shortages
ashen spindle
no?
urban lynx
i cant see the crippled economy at my workplace tbh
