What's a better alternative to the O11D XL for custom water?
Did they make those ridiculously expensive 'handmade'cases?
Can't right now, at work
Why would I go for that?
Gimme something EU made ^^
Blame the laws
Hiring someone in Germany is a lifelong obligation for the company
yeah that's how it goes
break it to the point where resale is almost impossible
unless you know what you're doing
“please cut the tubes of the cooler on both pump and radiator”
definitely doesn’t sound that bad
Replacing the tubing is not too hard indeed.. would be repairable if the pump and radiator are still functional
can’t wait to have to explain to my girlfriend why i need her to film me destroying an expensive piece of computer hardware
Yeah, Siri is not the best. But it is currently enough, especially after some updates. But apart from it being smart speaker, it is also really good as normal speaker for songs.
Well, it is a good speaker for movies or songs. Most likely best sounding smart speaker for it’s price, the issue is it does not have Bluetooth. It does, but only for setup. Otherwise only airplay
Well ye it will be for £280 lmao
I'd rather just get the sonos one though with alexa
The mini for 100€ is amazing too though
In this video, we put together one of the coolest Mini ITX build I’ve ever had the pleasure of building!
The case we are using is known as the MY64 from My Retro computer.
As you can see it's molded after the commodore C64 but this puppy is gonna be running Windows 10 and is cable of playing some low-end PC games and its does and amazing job wit...
Really, really want this.
Kind of burned out on my Retro Mac for now, since I need a fabricator to help me out.
poor aio

gotta yoink the fans before throwing out the radiator
didn’t cut too close on the pump so might even sell that lol
why do ppl do water cooling? isnt air cooling usually almost as effective and waaaay cheaper?
(and more reliable)
Yes, no, yes.
you can make a custom loop reliable
if you know what you are doing
which the majority doesn't
idk.
i guess it comes from when motorcycles used to be air cooled,
but eventually they got too hot, and had to do water cooling...
except harley. harley sticks to air cooling because "it's american, it's harley!"
watercooling starts to shine once you add multiple components in your rig, especially very powerhungry ones
except you dont care about noise levels
but my pc isnt doing lots of tiny explosions
Noise, depending on workload it can be better (takes longer to reach saturation), form factor/case might limit aircooler option etc.
In the end its all about heat generation and able to keep it controlled.
are you sure?
if you do it "right" it could do!

Air is a poor thermal conductor but if the watts are low enough moving air is enough
regarding noise: i got ANC headphones anyway. so i dont even notice when my rx580 goes jet mode just because i started minecraft

after all intel called it comet lake because you need a lake to cool it 
Also keep in mind that silicone aint your bodytemperature and it has thermal runaway protection buildin
i’m not sure how i’m gonna cool a 3950x on air without wanting to kill myself
Atleast you wont have to worry about fans shitting the fan and causing it to overheat
im passive cooling by watercooling
i don’t care about passively cooling it and noise levels since I hear jack shit
all I hear is my music
ultra low noise pump(s), enough radiator space
and good to go
the 3090 and 3900x stay both below 80c
with a little bit of voltage fine adjusting
i have two 3090
and am on discord
why shouldn't i be ?
question mark
you're using those 3090s to the max :p
oh my god i am such a moron
i dont get it kinda
you said it not me
i have no idea where i’d put the default am4 heatsink mount
also @misty saffron did you get your cooler sorted
what.. ?
two grand? hah
why should i be 
pot kettle
is reading the personality of someone from a gpu they have the new astrology? 
yes @solar hinge
im so confused how this is a thing
he doesnt have it yet, so he has a couple hours left of being nice I guess 
quin did erik delete the role ?? lmao
oh
Rip
oh i’m an idiot
hah, its so sad to see him become a total dick when he has the new card
i thought that’s an nzxt
plate
i don’t remember what i replaced when i installed the aio
don't screw into your cpu 
be nice
.... be nice ffs
enough thermal paste between socket and cpu I hope?
of course
nice
half a tube should be enough
I'd go with 2 full tubes at least
and uh, this is just me
but I like to draw a star with thermal paste
on the IHS
intake is what side of the fan
usually there are arrows on it
my dickness is not defined by the value of my gpu...
it's defined by the difference in value between your gpu and my gpu 😄
so massive dick
replaced my 970 with a 5700xt
currently in my possession:
GTX 770
R9 280x
GTX 1080TI
later today (not 100% sure yet) RTX 3090
these were all bought used 😄
same cause I dont have anything to do it properly with
so i just put them back on in one piece
for the 770 i paid 130 euros
280x i paid 15 euros
1080ti i paid 450 euros 😄
bought it from Tony in this discord

it was a mining card for 4 months and then bitcoin crashed too much 😄
not bad
Locke, he will have a 3090 soon. dont you need to be mean to him now?
does it sound like a jet engine?
yes
has no pipes though
sure I'll take it for free
isn't just mining banned?
China first banned foreign crypto
and then they banned mining foreign crypto
but these guys were just abusing free electricity
this as just a question, would wind power work well in Hawaii? or is it too much of "wind, no wind, wind, no wind"
i think it's difficult, because you can't just go solar, because you'd need to invest heavily in batteries as well
or you need to do a gas powerplant, because those can actually be turned on and off (relatively) easy
mine is cheap, because my parents bought it 😄
personal geothermal plant?
ahhh
yeah, i know it
my dad wants one
over here power is pretty cheap
here is where?
southeast US
my parents currently have solar panels for electricity and solar panels for hot water 😄
we got LNG power plants, nuclear, and I think one hydro dam?
heh
everything is cheap over there, except for health care 😄
that's why you don't get sick or die
yet the life expectancy as an american is like 5-7 years less than someone from western europe :d
😄
what happened to the 290x i send u
whenever i get my education shit sorted out i'm hightailing it out of here
sorry, i meant 290x 😄
so i’ve just realized it’s the fucking chipset fan being the loud bitch
not the gpu
nice
yooo, same
Almost all of the X570 chipset boards have at least one southbridge fan. Some Intel high end boards have one or more as well.
The Velocita Z490 I just reviewed has 3! small fans on the VRMs.
there are also some that do not have one right? on the x570 boards
which free software will allow me to monitor cpu temps?
i don’t trust this shitty air cooler
hwinfo
speccy, hwinfu, cpuz
The really expensive ones with a ton of metal. Or watercooling I think.
if canada isn't a good place, where to
did you see the message below that one 😛 i even added you as the source :p
hwinfo64 is usually the most accurate tool
Speccy is rarely updated. Always better to use a different app if you know how to download and install anything 😄
Speccy is for selling shit on facebook if you're a PC newb who knows nothing.
probably to europe, the writting on the wall here shows a lot of things in decline, and it's getting too liberal and tax heavy for my tastes. and it almost never snows here
speccy looks the best though, of all of them 😄
aida64 
tbh, europe is east
everything is east if u go far enough to the east
big brain
hahahaha fuck's sake
now i have to deal with jet engine sounds
good thing my headphones are open back!
sell em as movie sfx
I got family there, but I'm not sure that's the place for me
ok fuck this
does nzxt mail rma replacements in retail boxes
because i think i'll just rage buy another aio and sell the new one they'll mail
go to poland if you want an even nuttier far right country 🙂
canada ain't that nutty or far right
we're comfortably straddling the middle
yeah, but he said if canada is too liberal, check eastern europe
that is why i said poland
if I wanted to go somewhere right wing, I'd go to the rural US
there they also like to put pressure on minorities, foreigners, etc. just like what the trumpians and "right republicans" want 🙂
communist country

Fascism is just superior to communism
i can live my days in happiness eating banh mi and drinking bootleg fanta
Agree or not?
one country that i would move to if i could
taiwan seems nice too
poland is also dismanteling its justice system
arctic liquid freezer II
just like trumpians want 😄
@crisp granite Cmon mate give me an answer 
i have the 420version coming in :p
you're wrong, purely on the basis of me wanting to be an asshole
happy?
ye
@crisp granite Not really but eh
Do the water loops need maintenance?
Yeah
Like refilling water or something
honestly, very controversial topic, makes sense I'd give a non answer
no, they're just used up after about 3 years
most AIOs you cannot refil
no good AIOs in chelyabinsk?
the 360/420 variants also not in stock?
yep
dang
there are some you can buy that are refillable
that's why i said "aios are usually used up after 3 years"
alphacools LT240
but those are prone to pump failures or something
best value AIO probably
i want one myself since i can't be arsed to set up my own custom cooling
11000 rubles
unless I'm reading that wrong
yes
yeah that one is really a good set to get into customloops
not a good deal imo
So is there an AIO solution that will last me a lifetime?
that's rent for a month
idc about the price btw

Dunno I was thinking of watercooling but man air cooling is just better I think
it is
Tell that to the shitty chinese fan that's in my parents PC
16 damn years its been running
that's made out of the finest chinesium
No thanks I don't drive and I don't want to drive
i have to drive because we have no public transit 
3$ monthly unlimited public transport goes brr
it's better in the sense that it can't have a catastrophic death that can destroy your system. if you want to never ever worry about it, get an excellent air cooler 😄
cooorsair
it's a decent AIO
i think most people run with them anyways
any AIO is great with noctuas
doubly so if they're those brown/cream fans
Once noctua, always noctua
once you get used to the noise level it has, you'll fall in love
true that
if only arctic released it around the time i was building my pc
oh well
this current one i have is fine for what i do atm
@ashen spindle this one you mean? https://up.hw.gl/no8TmOT0zH.png
ye
calculated once a corsair 1000d build with all radiators being push pull with noctua's you'd have to pay around 800$+
just in fans
if you seek for a money sink
How's this one?
endgame
🤔
haha fuck
looks good ?
in idle?

yep, i'm so rage buying an aio
Ryzen can be tricky with Idle temps
rage buying?
they accepted my rma request so i had to destroy mine
now i'm running my 3950x on a shitty air cooler
you're right
mine just goes boost clocks all the time
O.o
actually it's the same temps while playing csgo
set a all core OC with 1.28v 4200mhz
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
or 1.3v
that's not safe
that should calm the temps
I must try that
it is safe if you fine tune it
he actually did that and documented it
impressive results
in stock zen2/3 boosts at the slight load to 1.5v
that's where the idle temps come from
Download ClockTuner for Ryzen (CTR), Guru3D is the official download partner for this handy utility that can possibly boost ZEN2 processor performance on your PC....
try this @misty saffron
this will help you
hollow apparently
me with my stock cooler as well
it will bring down your temps, wattage without hurting the performance
being an idiot isn't an attitude
oof
true that
not paying twice as much for an inferior 16 core
i bought a 16 core for programming
good usecase
tbh, it's reasonable to buy a 12 core for gaming now
not a good idea
but not stupid
Hello!Nice to me to
if you stream
it's actually usefull
fair point there
but plain for casual gaming
idk
not when it sounds like a jet engine though
fair point
but those temps wont go lower even with an AIO
the noise level will, but not the temps
i care about the noise
time to AIO then
open back headphones block none of it
?
huh?
Wondering why its above 3.6GHz not under load
because it's not under total idle?
load doesn't mean 100% load lol

jesus
would already be dead at those voltages so had to be a typo
imagine running your cpu at 2.8 volts
overclock
maybe he does LN2
nah not crash, the cpu would be dead lmao
fried
crispy
yeah that's fine for now
hence you can't even put that high into the settings
If you run it high enough clocks 2.8V would actually not damage your cpu
I doubt you can raise clocks that much though
define high enough clocks
Like ridiculously high
22ghz
On every clock you get a small voltage drop
20 ghz here I come
You raise voltage so your voltage rises high enough for the next clock
Considering how few atoms you actually energize you probably need a few hundred ghz tbh
And beefy cooling
a few hundred gigahertz
not necessarily
Tbh when we can make cpus fast enough we will have better materials than silicon
if the die area gets like 5x increase 
Which means better efficiency
liquid nitrogen cooled 3950x when
cpu out of graphene
we can be the crotchy old farts saying, "back in my day, 5 ghz was impressive, now everyone has their fancy 250 ghz chips and crazy coolers"
the magical substance that never gets real
oooof
And when it started mattering again it was the mark of someone that fell for the 14nm++++++++ trap
plus or minus a few dozen +'s at this point
Yea idk
That is why i just put some
I think it is 4 now?
Or 5?
Unsure
Newest gen is not slylake for once though
ew
Is 14nm 10nm
hm
As in
marketing material says one thing, but my brain says another
yes, rocket lake is a backport
I hope they squeeze out more than that leaked qs sample
Cause if not it will be less than redundant
doubtful
really shit product won't sell that well
unless they price it for the performance it offers
original sunny cove was designed as for after skylake, so backporting it and still having it match the multiple iterations is actually solid work
and yes, amd's server share increase is dropping, bc they just can't make enough cpus
that's the only advantage intel has atm
but it's a big one
so, OEM systems will sell new intel chips
Too bad development is capped by fab atm
but the average custom PC builder does some research first
Gpus as well afaik
yeah, which is why it's good nvidia went to samsung, so we get money pumped into more than one fab to develop more stuff
better than tsmc trying to make everything on one node
wait
they are
rip
Can't wait till china has to bonk fabs again so they increase production capacities once again
yeah can't imagine the disaster if nvidia went with TSMC
we'd probably have half the gpu's now
would have even less of everyhting now yeah
yikes
yup
heh, that crap
TSMC even posted the schedule for the next 2 years
woah
Oof
all the chips they are doing
Well yea
booked entirely?
Companies probably just scheduled whatever they could
apple took also a big chunk of it
don't blindly trust digitimes, they are quite biased when it comes to tsmc vs samsung for example
for their new arch
ye he does good research
2021~22
I hope Xe won't suck balls
Zen 4 aswell
plus, hopper
AM5
waiting such a long time for it
and at what price for 32 gb?
dont think that there is any info about pricing yet
atleast didn't hear much about it
not sure if we will get DDR5 at all
we won't unless supply of DDR5 becomes available
and if there are enough platforms for it
it's a render rig for Octane
once i get in my server room again
don't have an interface here
what
hell no
if I had 2 rtx 3090s, I'd totally be using it for fallout new vegas
if things continue to go well with the business a third and fourth will also be added
boosted the workload by almost 70%
quadro not the way to go for octane? or whatever their new line is called now that they retired the quadro name
it's mostly under contract
the Axxxx series, iirc
octane scales like linearly with every gpu you add
no I meant, does it not need pro drivers? lucky then i guess
ok
ah
little bit of confusion goin
I thought maybe it needs quadro/tesla drivers not just regular studio ones
but, can it run crysis with those drivers?
ye, their naming isn't helping with it
i tried gaming with it, it's basically identical to the "gaming" driver for some reason
noice
what game is that 👀
Starbase
I’m actually thinking of switching to studio drivers should I
on octane i can't enable RTX without the studio drivers
so it kinda depends on your usecase
Games and editing software and ps
Does it make it spike
i can't tell if it's the same in every game
This ^
The newest game driver breaks my editing software
I’m not on it
But making we want to switch to studio
Me
If you like it and can afford it who cares
Because even sough they waste more on a 2 bloody TVs, a £300 Toothbrush! Etc id still be the stupid one

Huh
This is your run of the mill NVME drive for comparison.
A 4x multiplier is pretty noticeable in demanding apps 😄
o hek
a $4 microcontroller
im so glad i waited
baby viper?
dont know how many have AE installed but it basically starts in an instant for me
as comparison
or loading some 4K footage makes the biggest difference
:P
the only thing mine is missing is a choker collar
:P
the answer is obviously yes to the RGB choker
Look at that Canadian syrup slurper
tbh, I drank the nicest thing last week, a litre of maple tree sap
slightly sweet, with a bit of that maple flavour I love
but way less heavy than maple syrup, way more enjoyable
Y U nu LYK CHROMIUM
Wtf is that?
Kast
Kast is a live streaming hangout for friends that want to be together. Share videos, movies, live content, and games with friends in private or public watch parties.
This is gonna piss you off, but it runs PERFECTLY fine in Opera 
flexes with the superior browser Yeeeeah!
o.o
I sometimes get a bit sad about people going "REE OPERA EATS YOUR SOUL AND DATA, BECAUSE CHINA"... when it is a Norwegian company that just has majority of shared owned by some Chinese company...but people dont wanna hear that is about 1/3-1/2 companies in the west nowadays lol
ye cause chromium
Yup
Ccp best party in China. Ccp 100% voter approval
(Taiwanese whispers)

dang
we can't get cards here other than RTX 3090s
and even then
only the premium models
i don't mind that 
well
I do
not having $2.5 CAD to spare on a GPU
only had $900 for my GPU budget
yeah
i got my first unit for 1550
rip
but
not here in europe apparently
stock is great, but damn all the prices are messed up
where to find this info?
if you are in Europe
$120 for a fucking SLI bridge
decent site for looking up prices across everything
the graph part of the website?
yep
if you click on a item
on the right side
you can check the graph out since release
i see now
vruh
one card has risen 11 euros since launch lmao
which one ?
tbh, blower cards ain't that bad
i find this one much sleeker than gigabyte's other cards
uh i meant gigabyte
lmao
wait i wasn't wrong
Asus brought the first blower card out
the 3090 turbo
that's what i meant
buy high, sell higher
didn't realise till now that gigabyte also has one
that asus turbo card actually looks pretty sleek
function wise the gigabyte is better
for multi gpu setups
the blower part is like recessed so if you stack the gpu's the cards don't choke
fair enough
gaym
gayming ?
Not true, some of the newest games want up to 12gigs for UHD textures
If you are running the game on Ultra
And on 4K
that's not entirely true
Allocated vram =/= Vram usage
you will need 24gb once you enter the 8K territory
otherwise 8-10 is more than enough
and lets be honest non of you will ever play at 8K
I might
in 20-30 years
not aslong the TV's costs still 60K
"non of you will ever play at 8K"
Damn I wonder if that's what people were saying 5 years ago about 4K gaming
🤔
you know when 4K got introduced
Nope
when we had the R9 Nano.
The issue with 8K is that it scales exponentially form 4K.
or the first Titan card
It is A LOT OF MORE pixels
"Theaters began projecting movies at 4K resolution in 2011. Sony was offering 4K projectors as early as 2004.The first 4K home theater projector was released by Sony in 2012"
the first 4k monitor vexxy got was in 21--
jk
Tbh, real issue here is mostly in the fact that we are already slowly hitting limits of physics with chip design using the current tech.
4k will be the extreme budget option soon
affordable by your standards, sure
@crisp granite I'll be getting my LG CX this year 😄
by my metric, nope
Maybe in the next few months if I get luck on my side
I am incredibly impressed by the LG CX
8K TVs cost like, 3k$
what
yeah this ^
you get a Nice 4K Tv at 65" already for 2-3K
the hell is that
NanoCells are actually nice TVs
you can get a great GPU or two for that money
LG NanoCells?
oh LG
meaning great for porn?
Hmm
okay my bad i was kinda hung up with the 8K 80" stuff
which costs like a car or house
It's alright I love you anyways 😄
Yeah 8K isn't THAT expensive
But still gl running that
65" LG CX is like 1.6k on a good day
it's meant for linus tbh
And that is an incredible display
HDR, Freesync Premium, colour accuracy, great motion response time
a showcase piece
Like a 1.6k LG CX is everything any kind of person needs
Those 10k TVs are just for FeelsGood to spend a shit ton people
Markup price
anyway
how people call it in the audio department
gn
See you my least favourite canuck
really?
I mean it's either Hardware Canucks, you, or Linus..
ah
I put you last in that equation
I understand
lmao
OH
a new record
weakling
everything wrong
Oh right I share the same name with him 
Oh that guy
yeah...
i always thought he's nice
good one?
Dunno I don't like politicians in general
pretty much
this one stinks extra bad
in a world filled with people like trump and boris
he's mean, he's lean, he's after your daughters your income
Don't insult my best girl Merkel!
anyway
I'm gonna do the mäkäräinen, my mistake, the Macarena
how am i got/
I hate my ansi enter key
merkel
Oh right
o/
it's a piece of shit for my muscle memory
Has anyone ever done Wooting Hunger Games?
que?
Way back in the day this used to be cool 
Sounds like a normal day in the countryside
it really does
Her name does have some truth to that face ngl
KATPISS
Katpiss got fucked
very nice tech talk we got going here
I have questions
no, it was the next simulation vex
@normal urchin yes, this is the oracle of all that is holy and truthsome. what is your question(s), my child?
ask away
I wanted to say that
dang it
next time
fine
Dose anyone know if this keyboard works on ps4 because it understands there is a keyboard in the ps4 but when I press a key it won't respond
No on anywhere has anything on this keyboard and ps4 I thought it would work like a normal keyboard just plug it in and go it's a keyboard
im not sure at all. supposidly, you would need to program it, link the buttons to console controller spec, and then start using that mode, that might work. though it might not, as its recognized as an xbox controller, not a playstation one.
the wooting does work as a regular keyboard as well
maybe the wooting in digital mode works?
didn't work on mine when i plugged it directly to the ps4
I want to use it as just a regular keyboard no special settings
That's what I want to use just regular digital mode
does any plain old keyboard work?
Yes
You want to mouse and keyboard on Consoles?
ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo, wait, wut, adaptor?
Yes I don't have a pc

And it dose I've done it before with other keyboards
Where'll your mouse go?
The other usb port

idk
from my experience
the mouse and keeb support on console varies by game
some work flawlessly, others don't
most don't
and the list of games that do is wicked short
Most PS5 exclusives most likely do not
So yeah you can per theoremum, plug it in and play
But all that depends on is support
yup
Im using it on fortnite why would it not work
With the adapter afaik it's compatible with all games
See Fortnite is a cross platform game
does fortnite explictily support keeb and mouse on PS4?
