i mean these are like your ordinaries.

however hongkong and canada? those are weird AF. like plastic, and the see through stuff

and you saying that british pound are like that now too?

wtf

[reef patrol]

Plastic money ftw.

[urban lynx]

makes me wanna go back to these

[reef patrol]

Paper is so bad.

[misty saffron]

hey i have a 10 too

[urban lynx]

lol

[ivory geyser]

I just kinda wonder how bloody phones react to touch these days... when I typing on a phone, the bloody letters trigger like... 1-2 cm before I even touch the screen sometimes.

It can be a real pita sometimes

[wheat plume]

some phones have a polling rate about double of the screens refresh rate

so a 60Hz panel would be looking for touches at 120Hz

[crimson wigeon]

3d touch

[ivory geyser]

No, I mean like... I hover the finger OVER the screen

I dont physically touch it

[wheat plume]

👀 oh

[old marlin]

aka

capacitive

[ivory geyser]

Gotta be

[old marlin]

but VERY sensitive

[crimson wigeon]

Probably so you could even use it with gloves on

maybe..

[ivory geyser]

Considering how much static shocks I sometimes give out.

[old marlin]

prob not

[ivory geyser]

Not that surprising now that I think about it lol

[old marlin]

the gloves probably already cause too much intereferrence

[ivory geyser]

Nah, gloves insulate

Unless you have those special "phone gloves"

[halcyon moss]

some phones have a gloves setting

[solar hinge]

good old chairman mao... when your country is all about the people, but stick a dictator on every banknote except for the 10-20-50cent note, who nobody actually uses because #PeopleAreUs

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/UAebN66W44I

[vagrant marsh]

alright

baseline set

im now gonna repaste it with that kryonaut stuff

see if there are improvements

Seems like previous paste spreaded well enough

Looking at the cooler, it was placed a little too high, but still covering the entire plate

[vagrant marsh]

LOL

0.1 difference

so it definately wasnt the thermal paste that caused the additional heat

[crisp granite]

wow

nice

maybe the cooler is on it's last legs?

[vagrant marsh]

no man

its a good cooler

[crisp granite]

heatpipe dry out is a thing if you run it really hot over long periods

[vagrant marsh]

it never ran hotter than 80 with the 3600

[crisp granite]

ah

so it should be fine

maybe airflow in the case is an issue?

try some stress testing with open air

[vagrant marsh]

extra fans needed, probably. but im also gonna make a metal plate at work that will divert the gpu air under the cpu cooler

[wheat plume]

is this good SSD for price?

[crisp granite]

ye

pretty damn good

[wheat plume]

it looks so naked

[vagrant marsh]

i know. its sexy

[wheat plume]

id be afraid to touch it incase I damage it

[vagrant marsh]

lol. dont be

[crisp granite]

you won't if you be careful

[wheat plume]

so this is a good price for this?

[vagrant marsh]

at the red line i closed the case. temp went up, as expected

[cursive summit]

1TB Intel 665P?

That's a really good SSD @wheat plume

Also it's M.2 so it's a good offering

I got a SATA 1TB SSD for same price 😄

[wheat plume]

oh man :') the kingston and PNY are faster

[cursive summit]

But it's Kingston and PNY

I would rather go with Intel

[wheat plume]

I see

[cursive summit]

Although

The PNY is an NVMe

If you can cough up those extra 10 euros

I would actually go with that one

Depends on who makes their memory modules

[wheat plume]

PNY?

[cursive summit]

No

Afaik Samsung and SK Hynix are the main memory module makers

Samsung > SK

Iiirc

[wheat plume]

welp, My laptop came with SK Hynik SSD xd

[cursive summit]

Still good

[wheat plume]

I just realised the name of the PNY one is Accelerate :')

[vagrant marsh]

so

[ashen spindle]

... the intel one is nvme too...

just get the cheapest one you will not notice any difference anyway

[wheat plume]

oh hell, its going to be soooooooooooo slow to transfers like 700GB from the hard drive onto this

wait, nvm, I need to get a 2.5" cause I do not wanna go through the pain to reconnect that SATA port

that angle.... A@OIGHSUIOGH

[vagrant marsh]

this is the situation right now

[crisp granite]

yup

[vagrant marsh]

this is my idea, to guide the heat from the gpu underneath the cpu cooler

[crisp granite]

a picture really is worth a thousand words

[ashen spindle]

what, what is your setup that you need to touch a sata port to put a M2 drive in?

[wheat plume]

The angle I had to plug my SATA connector in at was the most frustrating
me and my friend spent like 10 minutes trying to get it connected

[vagrant marsh]

another thing i could do is place more fans 😛

[cursive summit]

Ah so she hates SATA

Yeah I kinda understand that

[wheat plume]

no, just that angle xd

[ashen spindle]

ok but how does that relate to an M2 ssd

[crisp granite]

or drill holes in the case, or both!!!

[cursive summit]

M.2 SSD has nothing to do with SATA 😄

[vagrant marsh]

the last resort would be to use an aio for the cpu

[wheat plume]

i forgot I cant get one, if I get one, then I will have a SATA cable connected and not going to a drive so itll be hanging out in the case

so I need the 2.5" SSD instead to replace it

[cursive summit]

@wheat plume Did you forget M.2 SSDs have their own slots on the motherboard?

[wheat plume]

cause like I said, dont wanna unplug that sata connector cause it was a plain to get the cable to connect

[crisp granite]

most AIOs can't work as well as a really damn good tower cooler

[wheat plume]

no

[crisp granite]

I'd warn against that

plus

[ashen spindle]

then leave it connected?...

[crisp granite]

super pricy

[ashen spindle]

I dont see the issue

[vagrant marsh]

lana, you can connect m.2 drives and sata drives at the same time

[ashen spindle]

ofc not

[crisp granite]

lana

[wheat plume]

it wont damage anything if its connected to the port on the motherboard but not doing anything?
QuintoshToday at 17:59
ofc not

[reef patrol]

They all are 😄

[crisp granite]

is this a laptop?

[wheat plume]

nu

[crisp granite]

well

[misty pier]

🗿

[vagrant marsh]

lana....

[crisp granite]

this is just confusing the fuck out of me

[vagrant marsh]

[misty pier]

i don't even comprehend what's going on

[vagrant marsh]

lana being lana :p

[crisp granite]

I'm not high enough for this to make sense

give me five

[ashen spindle]

ok how and why did discord add my message into lanas message

what the fuck

[misty pier]

can't install it cause you don't want to yoink out a cable??

[wheat plume]

ok ok
I will explain xd

I need to replace the hard drive
with an SSD

but I do not want to unplug the SATA cable from the moptherboard cause we spent like 10 minutes fiddling around with the awkward angle trying to connect it last month

so I need to get a 2.5" SSD to replace it

[vagrant marsh]

looks like it tops out at 89/90

[crimson wigeon]

Why not just leave the spinning rust in there then, never know when you might need that extra storage

[misty pier]

just keep it there....

[wheat plume]

I guess.... but I wanna use that for my OLD computer so I can use that as a server

[misty pier]

unless you don't have another sata port?

[wheat plume]

I have 2 more sata ports but no more sata cables

[ashen spindle]

then disconnect it, removing it means you remove it, not that you need to reconnect it

[wheat plume]

so its ok to leave a sata cable with no drive attached plugged into the motherboard?

[crimson wigeon]

Obviously..

[vagrant marsh]

yes

[crisp granite]

ye

[misty pier]

yes

[wheat plume]

ooook

[ashen spindle]

yes, but I still dont get why you wouldn't just remove it

[vagrant marsh]

cause she finds it a pain to remove them and replug them

[wheat plume]

I dont wanna go through the hassle of fiddling with the akward angle

[vagrant marsh]

she wants to keep the cable there for easy plugging in

[misty pier]

its painless to remove and install 🗿

unless you don't have those L-connectors

[ashen spindle]

no she said it was a hassle to put it in, not that removing it would be annoying

[crisp granite]

lana, will you remove that SATA cable?
Y/N

[wheat plume]

nope, its a right angled connector and I have like 2mm of space to try to connect it that my fingers can squeeze in

[wheat plume]

N

[ashen spindle]

is disconnecting an issue or just connecting?

[wheat plume]

connecting xd

[crisp granite]

goüt

[ashen spindle]

then why does that matter for disconnecting it

[misty pier]

is it your case that makes it hard?

[ashen spindle]

[vagrant marsh]

@crisp granite you really think an aio would be worse than a tower? atm, that gpu is totally making the cpu cooler run hotter

[crisp granite]

in these specific conditions, an aio should do better

but otherwise, nope

[vagrant marsh]

@ashen spindle understand her, man! if she disconnects it now, but needs to reconnect it later on, its a pain to reconnect it. so she wants to leave it connected but only the cable

[wheat plume]

^^

[crisp granite]

^^

I love doing that

^ ^

[wheat plume]

LEL

[crisp granite]

^_^

[ashen spindle]

so you are saying you have only one m2 slot so for the future you want to maybe add more storage and have to use sata again

[wheat plume]

Yea

I have 1 m.2 slot left

[ashen spindle]

ok, but that is not something someone can read from "the cable is a hassle to plug in" when it's about one m2 ssd

[wheat plume]

and two sata

its not!

its about my hard drive I wanna replace with said SSD

if I get 2.5" SSD

[crisp granite]

keep the hard drive in

it's great for small files

[misty pier]

alright my head hurts

im dipping

[crisp granite]

like pictures and short videos...

[wheat plume]

Yeah, but it wont be in my computer if I keep it
I wanna replace it with the SSD so I can put it into my old computer to use as a server

5400RPM should be fine for a minecraft server right?

[crisp granite]

idk

never ran one

probably

test it

and get an SSD if it's not enough

[cursive summit]

Can't you plug in an M.2 SSD into the PCIe x4

[crisp granite]

try it

I dare you

shove an M.2 into a PCI-E slot

[cursive summit]

Modern problems require equally modern solutions

[ashen spindle]

ok but that still means if you get a SATA ssd you need to plug in a sata cable since you need to have both drives in the pc to transfer data from hdd to ssd...

[crisp granite]

oooga booga?

[ashen spindle]

so it would mean you need to add an extra cable which apparently is annoying on that mobo

[wheat plume]

One sec, I took a photo of it, lemnme try to find it

[crisp granite]

that will allow it to work

but going full caveman on it ain't gonna work

[wheat plume]

It's that sata cable on the left sata port

[crisp granite]

girl

either that cam is off

[wheat plume]

Took like 10 minutes of fiddling

[crisp granite]

or that pc looks like an asthma attack

[cursive summit]

Jesus christ

that looks painful

[wheat plume]

To connect?

[ashen spindle]

ok, whats the current setup on the pc it's only one sata drive that you want to replace yes?

[wheat plume]

yes

[cursive summit]

What mobo did you get?

[ashen spindle]

and you want to copy that to the new drive

[wheat plume]

yep

[ashen spindle]

sooo.. if you get another sata ssd you need to plug in a new sata cable

bc you need both to be connected to transfer data

[wheat plume]

my friend has a usb adapter

t plug sata to usb port

[crisp granite]

I got a USB-C to SATA III adapter

it's what I used for downloading my steam library onto a new ssd for my pc in advance

[ashen spindle]

does that power it though or is that just for external sata that already has power from elsewhere?

[crisp granite]

depends

[ashen spindle]

not yours

[crisp granite]

I'm saying, I've seen both

more likely not though

[ashen spindle]

yes, hence I'm asking the question to lana bc if it's not powering it the plan doesnt work

[crisp granite]

ooo

plan

I like those

never make 'em

but I like seeing them

[wheat plume]

ive used this adapter before

[ashen spindle]

and?

[wheat plume]

it works fine

[ashen spindle]

whats the other cable btw, is that not a second sata cable?

[crisp granite]

it's a sata cable

[wheat plume]

yep
i have 2 sata drives

[ashen spindle]

and the issue was with future sata ports you dont want to use the L shaped connector, but if you keep it and use it for this purchae, the next sata ssd would still need to have a new cable, so at that point just buy one without L-connector and we get the same result

aka it doesn't really make a difference what you get

[wheat plume]

will a 5400RPM drive be fast enough for a minecraft server? chunk loading when elytrra flying is intense

[crisp granite]

get an SSD

I've experienced some issues with a 5400rpm

legit tested minutes ago

[cursive summit]

And get a threadripper

For server

[crisp granite]

nah

for a minecraft server, get a ryzen 5600X

and OC it

[wheat plume]

I will have like 5 players max on the server :')

its fine

[crisp granite]

then a cheap ryzen APU is way more than enough paired with dual channel ram and an ssd

oh

and a good internet connection

[cursive summit]

Get the Epyc 7742

Make a server equivalent to Mineplex

Earn millions

[crisp granite]

good one

you need to get people in the server and someone paying

besides, epyc CPUs are expensive AF

but pretty expensive for the average consumer

[vagrant marsh]

the cpu while playing bf1

it was at around 64/65 degrees

so, not that bad as during the stress test

[wheat plume]

what?

It wont send my replyt

[reef patrol]

Bad connection to Discord servers.

Try again.

[wheat plume]

true

[vagrant marsh]

if someone could advice me on fans ;P

so i got here 2 system fans connectors and 1 d_led2 connector on the top

could i use all of these for extra fans?

i also got some extra connectors on the lowerend...

but i could use all of those for normal fans, right?

well, i guess d_led is for rgb-less fans

[crisp granite]

I think those are RGB headers

but I'm probably wrong

consult the manual on your mobo

[vagrant marsh]

assuming i still got it

probably, somewhere

[crisp granite]

btw

the poco takes decent pics, I guess you were just really shaky last time

[crimson wigeon]

SHOT ON POCO X3 NFC

[crisp granite]

one mark against the poco removed

[vagrant marsh]

no, im now using the photo mode

[crisp granite]

ah

[vagrant marsh]

it really clears the picture much better

[crisp granite]

nice

POCOPOCOPOCO

X3 the POCO

fuck yeah

[vagrant marsh]

for some reason the pro mode isnt really...

well, its pro, but too pro

i just want the camera to fucking focus

[crisp granite]

ah

so, that connector labeled "TMP" is for front panel USB

that's out of the question

[vagrant marsh]

well, yea. im talking about those d_led and led-c1 things

[crisp granite]

the connectors labeled "sys_fan_pump" may work but may be affected by CPU temps

so the fans will ramp up with cpu temps and the connector is probably meant for AIO pumps

but idk, not the most knowledgable person aboot this stuff.

I'm surprised my system even started (I built it while stoned)

[crisp granite]

RGB headers, I think

doubt they'll work

but feel free to try

[vagrant marsh]

i think i might

but which fans to buy

[crisp granite]

arctic P12

cheap, and great fans overall

[vagrant marsh]

i wonder

the top part of my pc i think it can only take 12cm

so i guess 3x 12, but i think there is only 1 header there

unless i use the sys_fan connectors

well, i figured out how to open up the front panel

but the top panel...

guess that one is attached with screws by the looks of it

yea, a screw in the back of it is holding it in place

well, since i got 2 massive intake fans, i guess i will make them outtake

too bad gigabyte doesnt make case fans

https://azerty.nl/product/arctic+cooling/3678938/arctic-p12-silent-ventilatorhuis-120-mm

yea, the store got em

https://azerty.nl/product/arctic+cooling/942053/arctic-f8-pro-ventilatorhuis-80-mm

lets go retro lol

[crisp granite]

nice one

[vagrant marsh]

https://azerty.nl/product/zalman/4333189/zm-sf120-ventilatorhuis-120-mm

hmm

i like this design

[crisp granite]

woah

zalman getting fancy

[cursive summit]

No RDNA on mobile or APUs yet

[ashen spindle]

.. just link the article and not 50 pictures

[vagrant marsh]

why desperate?

i simply like the design

too bad they arnt in stock

i think i still got an artic cooling gpu cooler here

yea

found it

[crisp granite]

last year

their new tower cooler is pretty damn good

[vagrant marsh]

yess

https://www.megekko.nl/product/0/1106382/Zalman-ZM-SF120?r=tweakers.net&utm_source=tweakers.net&utm_medium=cpc

this store got em in stock

i think im gonna buy em

[crisp granite]

nice

send pics of them fans

and uh

don't lose fingers

woah

17 euros a pop?

that's a bit pricy for fans

[vagrant marsh]

beauty has a price

[crisp granite]

you make a good point

[vagrant marsh]

these fans are way more interesting than those stock square box boring thingies

[crisp granite]

true

and zeh RGB...

[vagrant marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h10MU3Jebx0

lol

nexus aint got much nice things to say about zalman XD

these fans are 1 way only tho

there arnt many vids with this particular fan tho

alright, i bought em

like, fuck it XD

i like the design

[old marlin]

Those fans are terrible

The reason why fans are boxes is to not loose pressure

[halcyon moss]

its probably fine

[vagrant marsh]

Well, the cpu cooler itself turns out to be actually fine

So the fans should also be fine right

[misty saffron]

pog

i wonder if they’ll ship it from usa

that’d hurt

[wheat plume]

Goze

[old marlin]

someone really doesn't like a certain stick of memory

gave the same error over 20 times in total fml

[thick elk]

Last time I had to get replacment parts from nzxt they shipped from The Netherlands as quite a few international companies do within europe.

Often Either Netherlands or Germany.

[misty saffron]

oh, that’s nice

those are usually 2 weeks tops for me

[thick elk]

This was quite some time ago, so things may have changed.

[misty saffron]

very much doubt it tbh

[foggy solstice]

NL has a big boat port, so that makes sense.

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/Y4wrxLVs3eU 2 screen protectors...

yes

I love watching some guy slash at the latest phone

well, can afford but dont wanna spend that much on a thing that ends software support in 2 years

[cursive summit]

YES

REM IS THE BEST GIRL

Fuck Emilia the girl's problematic af

Marry Rem, have her children, live in a cabin

Jesus christ Rem's dialogue with Natsuki was so strong when he went on a fit and she fantasized about the future

I would have been like naah man fuck this witch shit, lemme run away with one of the best waifus ever

[wheat plume]

I dont like Emilia either but damn :')

I felt so sorry for her at the "I love Emilia " scene

[cursive summit]

I kinda get why the mangaka "got rid" of her

She would have been really hard point of story, as a lot revolves around her

Which makes everything really complicated in terms of storytelling as Rem's around

So I understand the decision to get rid of her

[vagrant marsh]

I prefer that big boobs witch

[cursive summit]

Echidna?

[vagrant marsh]

I cant recall the names

Not the one that looks like emilia

[cursive summit]

If it's the white haired one it's Echidna

Yeah it'll be her

[vagrant marsh]

I think she was blonde

[wheat plume]

big boobed witch
ffs is that why???

[vagrant marsh]

Meh. She had big boobs. Thats the important detail

Noooohooo

[cursive summit]

Not this one??

[vagrant marsh]

The second witch to make her intro. The blonde one

[wheat plume]

oh yeh, the one who made him drink her bodily fluids by hiding it in his tea

[cursive summit]

But the second witch is literally Echidna

After Satella

[vagrant marsh]

...

[wheat plume]

Satella is the one that looks like Emilia

[cursive summit]

Oops spoilers

[cursive summit]

Jeruzalem Echidna's pretty much the one you are thonking about

And she's the second witch to be introduced formally

[vagrant marsh]

The blonde one

[cursive summit]

Ooh

[vagrant marsh]

Ffs u know what blonde is

[cursive summit]

The Witch of Wrath

Minerva then

She's I think 4th witch to actually be introduced

Satella -> Echidna -> the green haired girl one -> Minerva

[vagrant marsh]

Hmm

Ur right. Excuse moi

[cursive summit]

Echidna's got the best bust

But I love Minerva's character

[vagrant marsh]

Hans...

HANZZZZ

[cursive summit]

That's your bed?

[vagrant marsh]

Hanz! Get zeh flammenwerfer!

[cursive summit]

You are fucking disgusting man

[vagrant marsh]

No im not

[wheat plume]

shudders ight imma head out

Also yes! Great wallpaper

[vagrant marsh]

that is one big ass spider if ive ever seen one

alright

the spider has been released into the wild

my life was in grave danger

@vagrant marsh that's pretty gross man

clean yo crib

[crisp granite]

seriously, clean that up. that's fucking gross

[vagrant marsh]

its just a candy box and an empty bottle

[crisp granite]

so, clean that up

and vacuum

[vagrant marsh]

but daaaaaad

[crisp granite]

I'm serious

and I'm not your dad

[latent mural]

Now you are

[crisp granite]

oh

I'm someone's daddy

just not his

but seriously

that's gross

spend a few hours cleaning your place next time you got a day off work

vacuum the floors, scrub the walls, counter-tops, table-tops and stuff like that, change your sheets, remove garbage from around your home and cook a nice meal for yourself afterwards, then do the dishes

[vagrant marsh]

jesus christ, change the message some more 😛

[crisp granite]

nah

that's it

anyway

do that

[crisp granite]

is my next GPU gonna be an intel GPU?

[vagrant marsh]

intel gpu's?

[crisp granite]

ye

[vagrant marsh]

i forgot those were a thing

[crisp granite]

they are

but rn, they succ

succ swollen ghoulies

[vagrant marsh]

and i found someone willing to buy my card for 500 euro 😛

gonna deliver it tomorrow

[crisp granite]

noice

[cursive summit]

Looks shite

[vagrant marsh]

Wish!

[crisp granite]

like one of those chinese scam gpus

[crisp granite]

4gb

of vram

in 2021?

[vagrant marsh]

only 4gb?

[crisp granite]

lolwut?

[cursive summit]

The TDP is quite good though

[vagrant marsh]

ofcourse

[crisp granite]

true that

[vagrant marsh]

its a 2016 card

[cursive summit]

It's a budget budget card as far I'm getting

[crisp granite]

yup

but it looks like it's scalable af

[reef patrol]

Ah yes. A fake MSI Cooler.

Good ole' twinfrozr design.

[crisp granite]

an MSI bambooler cooler

twinheat3r

[reef patrol]

[crisp granite]

ngl though, twin frozr cards actually looked decent

[thick elk]

Definitely a placehlder, you really don't need this type of fan design for a 30w card

[crisp granite]

10nm superfin=14nm++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

14nm gpus

[reef patrol]

Or just a knock-off with a cheap cooler. To upsell the card.

[ashen spindle]

... no?

[crisp granite]

close enough

[ashen spindle]

not even remotely

[crisp granite]

• or - a few pluses

wait

intel actually has 10nm now?

not 14nm rebrand?

cool, if true

cuz this is what my brain sees when intel says "10nm"

[halcyon moss]

its empressive what they do manage to push with 14nm

[crisp granite]

true

[vagrant marsh]

im not gonna sell my card for 500 bucks...

[crisp granite]

600?

[vagrant marsh]

dude messaged me he asked his parents for more money but didnt get it so he cant buy it

wtf

[crisp granite]

wow

pain

sell it to him for less

maybe 400?

[vagrant marsh]

nah, cause i got 2 others saying they are willing to pay 500 for it

[crisp granite]

be human

[vagrant marsh]

however, i already google searched 1 of them and he is like 12...

how does a 12 year old get 500 bucks

[crisp granite]

ah

check with the others

[vagrant marsh]

and i wanna be human, but the 2 highest bids were 455 and 460. then this one messaged me he would want to buy the ask price of 500. so sure, okey. then that 12 year old came, yea, i will pay 500 bucks. even more.

but yea...

trusting a 12 year old to pay 500 bucks?

meeeeh

[crisp granite]

yikes

if any of 'em pay 500, send it to them, otherwise take the 460 offer

[misty pier]

🤷‍♀️

[cursive summit]

@vagrant marsh Buy a cash checker

If he hands over 500 euros, check the thing if it's real or not

[vagrant marsh]

Lol

I only do digital pay

[crimson wigeon]

Excellent

Time to become root everywhere

[wheat plume]

just got a sudo update

[vagrant marsh]

holy crap

my room is like a freaking sauna

i didnt notice cause i was playing bf1 XD

man, that 3080 really pumps out alot more heat than the ol 2070

like vsync? nah

[chrome estuary]

Got my fold 2. It's pretty weird to get used to. The front screen is so small but it's surprisingly usable. The inner screen is weird to get used to as well since Gboard is a little weird with it's key layout

[vagrant marsh]

screen only does 120 fps

well, as my cpu is at its current setting

it doesnt become too hot

i know what is

but the gpu causes hte cpu to heat up more

however, tomorrow i get my extra fans, and ive made that metal plate i was talking about to divert the gpu exhaust away from the cpu fans

so that should help a good deal too

in this case, that would help alot XD put a fan at about the same spot those rtx 3000 cards has the rear exhaust. blow away the hot air

[misty pier]

i want side panel cutouts for fans

idrc about glass and rgb anymore :(

honestly should've gone sff and gone with something like the ncase m1 or the smol coolermaster itx chassis

idk why i went with a big bulky case

[vagrant marsh]

@misty pier or the coolermaster h500p mesh 😛

[misty pier]

idk i dont want anything big

[vagrant marsh]

you dont like big?

[misty pier]

anything that doesnt break my arms trying to lift, im cool with

thats why i gone itx in the first place

[vagrant marsh]

i dont know. i like the room i got in a big case

if i went with anything smaller, that 3080 might not have fitted

i think you underestimate just how big those dreadful things are

imagine the 90

fuck

[reef patrol]

"Calling it XL is kind of crap"

Yeah... dude... It's larger than the normal. What would you have called it oh genius of the modders? 😛

[misty pier]

meh i dont really need a big card

get me something small

[crisp granite]

mmm

thicc card

[misty pier]

cards these days are built like trucks

massive and large

[crisp granite]

ITX cases can fit large cards

[vagrant marsh]

yes

thicc cards

[reef patrol]

"The case is metal"

Yes Daz... Aluminium is a metal. 😛

[crisp granite]

an NR200 could easily do a 3090 FE and fit an AIO for watercooling the latest ryzen 9 cpus at the same time

[reef patrol]

This video aggrevates me 😄

[vagrant marsh]

case is made out of aluminium?

damn, that cringes me so hard

[reef patrol]

It's steel with alu sides.

[vagrant marsh]

ahh, ok

if the frame was alu, that is so freaking weak

shipping would damage it

[reef patrol]

Not really an issue.

[misty pier]

mmm, fully alu case sounds nice

[crisp granite]

sounds bad

[vagrant marsh]

it sounds nice, yes, but its a pain. alu is really weak

[misty pier]

i mean yeah

don't drop it or dent it :p

[crisp granite]

heh, an ITX PC that can fit in my backpack will be going through a fair bit of torture

I'd want it to be made out of thicc and stronk metal

[reef patrol]

Also - Restrictive holes my ass.

https://www.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2019/cases/lianli-o11xl/lian-li-o11-cpu-torture_allhi.png

Daz as usual is talking out of his arsch 😄

[misty pier]

so build it out of titanium

[crisp granite]

heh, it's still cheaper than a ghost S1 imported from sweden

[misty pier]

i'd like something that small

hgggg i want to mod my case like this

but what can I use to cut metal

[vagrant marsh]

a torch...

angle grinder

pick your fetish

[misty pier]

🤔

[crisp granite]

angle grinder all the way

[misty pier]

might also get a rivet gun too

[vagrant marsh]

i know a company that has a laser cutter

we usually get some stuff from there

i bet they can do it

YUP :')

[thick elk]

Personally find the current naming scheme of intel not that bad i7 being how high end the chip is 1165 cpu model G7 number of gpu cores.
Most normies look at i7 and call it a day anyway.

[thick elk]

No those are Apple users, they are a different species

Normies use windows laptops slowed to a crawl by all the virus scanners and other bloatware they throw on there.

[wheat plume]

Exactly

[neat oriole]

Apple M1 vs Intel Core i7-69420HQ

Intel should change their naming scheme tho

The core i name is basically meaningless these days

[thick elk]

Damn, I thought that was just something people above 80 did.

[neat oriole]

My friend doesn’t use a browser app

They use the Google app

[thick elk]

reminds me when someone else uses my phone.
WTF is that launcher (using T-ui)
Why is the text so small.

I don't think I ever used the goolge app, in fact I don't even use google as my main search engine.

[wheat plume]

my mom does the same

[thick elk]

If my mom would do that I would have lost all faith in humanity. Then again she works as a software tester among other things.

I think she started working in IT in the late 80's / early 90's.

Damn I was still in primary school when that happened.

A few days before my 9th birthday.

I remember seeing it on the news and finding it fascinating.

Reminds me, is it common that kids around 8-9 watch the news regularly because they enjoy it. I sure did back then.

That seems pretty uncommon at that time, I think my parents got tv at a younger age and they are in their 60's

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume

[wheat plume]

👀

this is cursed

[pale sigil]

You love it really

[ivory geyser]

@pale sigil did you get the freaking Computer Launcher on your phone?

[pale sigil]

I'm just randomly downloading launchers atm

[wheat plume]

:') oh

[ivory geyser]

Try Alpha Launcher.

I am using that one, fairly nice one.

Very unusual design and flow tho.

[pale sigil]

Looks pretty basic

[wheat plume]

same

[thick elk]

I ended up on T-ui, I agree it's not the most efficient but I used it for memes and kept using it.

[wheat plume]

LOL

best use case

[pale sigil]

[thick elk]

I basically only use a few apps so icons for them would be the best thing.
Trying to type it out, it's actually a decent number so maybe just typing them is the fastest option.

[wheat plume]

What size battery you have?

[ivory geyser]

I tried that one, was buggy af.

[pale sigil]

Deleted it anyway xD

@wheat plume 4000

[wheat plume]

Oohhh ok!

[chrome estuary]

I like Niagara launcher.

it's stupid simple

it's just like... favourites panel on main screen, a set of letters on the right leads you to an alphabetized list of your apps, you can hide apps

i'll show it off in like 20mins when my phone gets done downloading it's update

[latent mural]

When is the release date for the wooting 2 HE tkl, or would it be smarter if I buy one of the last wooting one tkl?

[astral haven]

different switches,

also #archived_keebs_talk

[crisp granite]

first off, no tkl with lekkers is currently planned, but a "smaller than tkl" with lekkers is next

second

that's your choice

if you want a wooting sooner rather than later, I'd get the one or two with flaretechs

otherwise, a wooting 2 HE is superior

also

one and two represent the size

one is tkl and two is full size

has nothing to do with the switches, that's what the "HE"(HE=Lekkers, no suffix=Flaretechs) denotes

and lastly, next time, @latent mural, #archived_questions_answers is a better place for this

that's where questions get asked and answered

[chrome estuary]

I forgot to post it

Here it is unfolded

[misty saffron]

replacement nzxt aio mailed from usa 💢

[vagrant marsh]

a windows 10 launcher for android?

where....

i want it

[zenith sonnet]

OOOOF

AMD just released quarterly financial results

Oh, nvm
They got 1300 million in taxes back, everything looks normal

[astral haven]

wut?

[zenith sonnet]

Dunno why they would get a tax return that massive

But it seems they did

Good on them though

They can shove all of it into R&D, lol

[astral haven]

thats not how that works

[old marlin]

Intel informed us on request that the Iris Xe AIC only works with processors of the 9th Gen (Coffee Lake Refresh, CFL-S) and the 10th Gen (Comet Lake, CML-S). In addition, a B460, H410, B365 or H310C chip and a special motherboard firmware must be present. The Iris Xe AIC does not run in other systems.

why would you go out of your way to use intels low end gpu

[astral haven]

encoding

[old marlin]

also an OEM only card

now I get why

[astral haven]

cheapest av1 gpu 🤷‍♂️

also its 30 watts

also ill bet $20 that if you stick one of these in your system itll work just fine

[old marlin]

knowing intel

prob not

also I still daily drive a laptop

9th gen one

but idk what funky chipset it uses

should be Z470?

idk

[astral haven]

you havent messed around with intel gpus much

laptops have different chipsets

[old marlin]

uses a desktop cpu

and is overclockable

so prob uses a desktop chipset

[astral haven]

clevo?

[old marlin]

alienware

[astral haven]

area51m?

[old marlin]

ah

Z390

ye

[astral haven]

neato

the throttleyboy

[old marlin]

only throttles because of VBIOS

[astral haven]

no, the cpu

[old marlin]

eh

I run it on 4.8 allcore

without it throtteling

at all

9700k though

not 9900k

[astral haven]

clock doesnt matter

watts matters

[old marlin]

well yea

[astral haven]

i can run 5.1g allcore in my clevo at 30 watts lel

[old marlin]

still not throtteling

[astral haven]

how many watts

[old marlin]

unsure

never measured it

I could ig

[astral haven]

open up whatever hardware monitor tool you have, it should be in there

[old marlin]

cba to since I would have to separate out my powersupplies to get an accurate reading

alienwares tool doesn't show it at least

[astral haven]

hwinfo64

[old marlin]

could try it ig

could try it out later

[astral haven]

nyways my clevo ran 4.8 allcore occt large at 125w forever no throttling and 160w boost for 5 seconds before throttling

[old marlin]

it gets 480W

[astral haven]

in ltt's testing the alienware couldnt run stock

[old marlin]

for a 9700k and a 2080 at ~1800MHz

should be enough

[astral haven]

which is 95w forever 125w boost

oh yea

power supply not an issue

cooling is the issue

and power in == heat out

[old marlin]

yea

I am not thermally throtteling though

like

the CPU gets warm

but not 90C

[astral haven]

ah

so you havent stress tested it

[old marlin]

I have

[astral haven]

no you havent

[old marlin]

right

I have though

got to 89 iirc

not 90

[astral haven]

4.8 allcore set on the 9700k draws 140w easily

what did you use to test?

[old marlin]

prime95

[astral haven]

yea no chance

whats your avx offset?

[old marlin]

unsure

[astral haven]

im gonna guess at least 2

probably 3

[old marlin]

you can only OC with alienwares fucky tool

[astral haven]

not true

[old marlin]

[astral haven]

xtu will always work

[old marlin]

last time I tried it alienwares tool just changed it as soon as it booted up

can dl xtu and check though

[astral haven]

i mean if you have the alienware tool installed to it will overwrite it lel

1 overclocking tool at a time per component

[old marlin]

ye makes sense

can't OC the gpu unfortunatley

since dell fucked the vbios

[astral haven]

i mean

its not just dell

[old marlin]

and downgrading is a hassle only t oget nagged 24/7

[astral haven]

all the 2080m are locked

[old marlin]

nah release vbios was a lot more lenient

up to 200w

[astral haven]

oh

[old marlin]

newest one is 170 afaik

[astral haven]

well rip

[old marlin]

not an m card

is a desktop chip

[astral haven]

its not

its the mobile variant

[old marlin]

it is

[astral haven]

with more cores

[old marlin]

nope

it is a desktop chip

problem is they thermall locked it

so when you go above like 76C

they just half gpu clock

so you have to edge around there

which happens to be 1800MHz for me

I could run at over 2000MHz before the VBIOS updates

I don't think hwinfo shows power draw for this laptop

[astral haven]

tu104m vs tu104 on desktop

[old marlin]

ah

[astral haven]

same core count but it is a different chip

[old marlin]

was before the m spec was public though

[astral haven]

oh no

nvidia still calls it the 2080

not m

but that is lies

so i call it the 2080 m

[old marlin]

ig

[astral haven]

alienware should be calling it the 2080 max-p

[old marlin]

same core count

if the clock is the same it should also perform the same

afaik

is barely below a dekstop one

[astral haven]

yea but it isnt the same clock

so it doesnt

[old marlin]

since none of thsoe are limited in temps that harshly

so you do trade in perfromance

but overall I am positively surprised by it

[astral haven]

last desktop gpu to make it into a laptop without any sacrifices is the 1060

[old marlin]

expected it to be MUCH worse in those regards

[astral haven]

and only about 1/200 of them did

[old marlin]

besides noise it is effectively a desktop replacement

[astral haven]

ye

spensiv tho

[old marlin]

CPU should be locked to 210W max

could not find any indication to current power draw though

[astral haven]

its in sensors

[old marlin]

don't have that point

[astral haven]

right click the tray icon

[old marlin]

ah

[astral haven]

should be one of the options

[old marlin]

am stupid

[astral haven]

you can also start the program in sensor only mode

[old marlin]

don't have both psus with me atm

so can't hit it with a decent load

[astral haven]

then you can just run prime95 and take a screenshot

[old marlin]

can try later though

[astral haven]

dont need both psus for just cpu

do you?

or do they limit you in firmware

[old marlin]

from experience I do

[astral haven]

thats very very odd

[old marlin]

it changes with every bios update though

is really weird

[astral haven]

when idling the gpu should be drawing a max of 30w

[old marlin]

CPU has a higher power limit for a reason ig

gpu sits a bit above 30w

[astral haven]

the cooling in the laptop is physically incapable of dissipating over 150w from the cpu

150+ lets say 40 = 190

[old marlin]

yea will try later

[astral haven]

chipset is 2 watts ram is 10 max, 30w for drives you are still solidly under 240

[old marlin]

ah right

reminds me of the one thing you HAVE to change on it

they ship it with SSHDs

[astral haven]

yea that happened to my clevo too

[old marlin]

such a stupid thing for a secondary drive

[astral haven]

i mean

[old marlin]

drive has to constantly spool up again

cause it loads some stuff in the cache

then stops spooling

[astral haven]

could be a 5400 rpm non ss hdd

[old marlin]

then needs something from the platter again

[astral haven]

hmm

thats odd

[old marlin]

and has to spool up again

[astral haven]

mine would just spin up on startup

[old marlin]

I replaced it with a 2TB barracuda

[astral haven]

never turned back off

[old marlin]

idk

lemme look if I can find it again

iirc was some seagate drive as well

[astral haven]

clevo ignores power saving requirements lel so idk

yea

only seagate made sshdds for a serious amount of time

[old marlin]

ye is a regular 1TB firecuda

[astral haven]

mine came with a pair of 2tb firecudas

gotta store dem gamez

[old marlin]

ye this one came with 2 m.2 drives and that sshd

[astral haven]

mine stock came with 1

swapped it with the 2 from my old laptop

i am moderately sad i had to upgrade away from that laptop

i ran out of storage 😦

and ran out of usb ports to add more

[old marlin]

rip

TB3 helps with that by now ig

not that I will end up going that far

[astral haven]

already in use for my gpu

[old marlin]

ig alienware has the solution for that

[astral haven]

i looked at the price of an internal 2080
then looked at the price of an external 2080ti
and it was the same

[old marlin]

since they use a different connector for their egpu box

[astral haven]

yea

but that one requires power cycling

[old marlin]

• it is pretty cheap

ye

[astral haven]

yea

but the alienware was +1.5k over mine

so like

naaaaw

[old marlin]

ye I got it cheap

"cheap"

also

[astral haven]

how cheap

[old marlin]

company money

[astral haven]

right

[old marlin]

2.3k

euros

with tax

[astral haven]

oh wow thats amazing

[old marlin]

was supposed to get the regular 15"
