then again as he said ymmv

#

Those are some pretty numbers

#

9ns less than my 3700X with 3666 14-13-13

astral haven
#

that seems quite bad for a 3800 c14

#

Not the best, but not bad either

#

I don't think you can reasonably break 50ns even with 2000 IF, though

@old marlin been jumping back and forth between the Razer Viper 8k (~70g) and G Pro Superlight (~60g).
The weight difference is definitely noticeable. But I really have no idea whether it impacts my aiming if at all xD
What are your opinions? I honestly feels like 70g feels nicer to hold, but the 60g feels better to hold (for both long run and rapid swipes)

#

Everything feels so marginal nowadays pepecry

#

I’d probably perform the same on a DA2017 as I would on the RVU

old marlin
#

difference in shape is probably the bigger impact

analog aspen
#

Viper and G Pro obviously have different shapes and performance proven to be the same

#

If not marginal

#

Original G Pro is obviously bad because it’s back-heavy

#

But it’s centered on the Superlight so that gap has closed now

fickle ore
#

with logitech you get firmware updates that increase mouse latency and double clicks

old marlin
#

lol

fickle ore
#

gl, its a way of pain

old marlin
#

true

#

but

#

will barely matter

#

if the shape would be better for you

fickle ore
#

dunno 60g still to fat for me

analog aspen
#

But that’s about it

#

Idk I’m still trying around but definitely not blindly on-boarding the giga-light mouses hype train

fickle ore
analog aspen
#

My personal opinion is ā€œjust get fitā€

fickle ore
#

logi bullshittery

analog aspen
fickle ore
#

U dont need those thats why I collapsed them

#

xD

analog aspen
#

Chakram core still at the best nice

fickle ore
#

funny how from g203 the latency has somehow getting smaller.. or when u look it the other way around they probably started as low as superlight and firmwares increased lag little by little.

analog aspen
#

Superlight wired has fastest latency? How

fickle ore
#

and superlight will be 3-5ms in couple years too

analog aspen
fickle ore
#

yes

#

or no

analog aspen
#

Would be nice if it’s an adjustable option like Burst Pro

fickle ore
#

they have mathed it out

analog aspen
fickle ore
#

function of odixation depth and average usage hours and switch type

analog aspen
#

But they release new batch tho

#

Those don’t age the same with the first batches

fickle ore
#

doesn't matter, they have to have 1 firmware per model so its a blanket fix for all mice with even new switches

#

so no logikek for me

analog aspen
#

Also you sure it changes with time?

#

Maybe can just use onboard memory forever xD

fickle ore
#

they have increased latency in the past and admitted to it. we dont have reflex data for it so think of it what you want as we can't say for sure

analog aspen
#

Anyways I haven’t really gotten any marginal performance difference since EC1-B

#

That’s all the G Pro RVU Superlight etc that comes after

#

My life could’ve gotten easier thonk

fickle ore
analog aspen
#

I have no idea what that means because you shortened everything

#

I’ll just assume it’s bad

fickle ore
#

6330µS avg and 586 SD

analog aspen
#

1 microsecond = 1000ms?

#

So 6.3ms?

fickle ore
#

yes

analog aspen
#

5ms is noticeable = my rule of thumb

#

Noticeable doesn’t mean react-able

fickle ore
#

statistically significant difference is enough for me, even if it's 1ms or less

analog aspen
#

You notice a drop of water flying towards your eye but you won’t close it on time

#

Despite blinking muscles are the fastest, most reactive muscles on the body

#

Damn this means some of these mice actually reached sub 1ms latency

#

Props

#

Viper 8k claims to have 0.125ms latency

#

I honestly doesn’t see myself clicking faster (the switch they use is 10g heavier)

Arch linux install without doing everything manually

Official installer script! Awesome

#

What if you forget to install some crucial system package and nothing works?

#

But it still boots into the desktop

#

My friend found a way to connect to wifi on the raspberry pi from command line and I forget how he did it

#

Cause we installed ubuntu server onto it

#

I remember he added the SSID and password into some text file and rebooted and when we rebooted it was connected to the wifi

#

Hmm
Where does the OS store login details for wifi? In curious now

#

The desktop then?
Cause in the wifi setting for plasma, I let's me choose to store the login details for just my user unencrypted or for the system encrypted

#

Or is it the other way around
Idk rn

Fourth-generation Threadripper not coming soon.Ā  AMD has not revealed its official plans for Ryzen Threadripper 5000 yet, despite numerous virtual events taking place in the last few months.

#

meh zen3 tr isnt as interresting

#

epyc 3rd gen has already almost maxed out TDP and we see some issues of the 19% ipc improvements not fully scaling there so I dont think TR can really do a big upgrade aside from usecases where you probably dont want one anyway

Zen 3 tr might be on 6nm tho

cursive summit
#

Since threadrippers don't really have "refreshes", yeah N6 node is possible

ashen spindle
#

doubt it

#

would mean they use chiplets for TR around the same time they release warhol/trento etc.?

#

no way they would prioritise TR over retail or servers

analog aspen

#

Zen 3 Threadripper won't be N6. That's ludicrous idea.

It will be the same core chiplets on N7, and the same IOD as Milan, on GloFo 12nm finFET.

Is the ship and all goods on board even worth a combined 1 billion?

#

Anyway, that's ransom no matter now you look at it

#

then the Ever Given and its some $3.5 billion worth of cargo

#

Well, that's answered already

#

Still ransom

reef tundra
#

That is an absolute dick move. You need to pay a fee to even cross it, you have to let two experts in to guide you and it was a "act-of-god". The fee should be and is already enough to cover the liability of having the risk of blockage causing total loss of revenue. They could also have denied entry if they didnt want to risk it. They made their bed and now have to lie in it

#

Its like you ask/demand your money back when you lose in a casino

Trucks already can hold millions worth in cargo

Nah bioses are ultra hard to make, they don't even wait for it to post for sure they just make sure it posts at least once out of every 10 tries and retries 10 times

#

Except for asus, asus has 2 engineers working on their bioses instead of just 1, so they can make it work 50% of the time

In the recent wan show linus seems to be pretty strict on staff and their social media presence

#

Which sounds so bizare to me

#

For example he didn't like them streaming for a while

#

Or making their own videos (which is somewhat reasonable but also kinda bad) and if they do they have to ask linus

#

I guess

#

But restricting what a person can do outside of work is kinda lame

#

I understand to a degree

#

A few people threw the world around "abusive"

#

During the stream

#

There were other things

#

That sounded pretty meh

#

Again I get it to some degree

#

But stuff like this

Linus said he had to moan at someone recently

#

Maddison hasn't really said anything

#

Afaik

#

Or done anything

#

As I was curious

#

Only thing j could find was this really

#

I disagree

#

They are allows to be their own person seperate from LTT

#

As proven by luke...

#

But as said that isn't an issue anymore I regards to twitch

#

Linus is chill with it but never used to be

#

However any content outside of LTT even if not related to the channel

#

Has to be done via float plane

#

Again I get it to a certain degree

#

But I don't like the normalisation of being suppressed and still working outside of work

neat oriole
#

If you invest in someone and then they turn around and leave to create a competitor with your training how would you feel?

#

It’s perfectly reasonable to make sure your employees aren’t actively trying to compete against you

pale sigil
#

Again

neat oriole
#

And as Linus said, he had a pretty strict guideline for Luke when he first started streaming

pale sigil
#

I get that

#

But being so restrictive is just wrong

neat oriole
#

But then he decided LMG would never pursue streaming so he opened it up to everyone

pale sigil
#

On social media Anthony shouldn't feel so scared

#

To post his opinion

#

their fault for being on camera as part of a social media company

neat oriole
#

It’s more than reasonable imo

#

They’re a social media company

reef tundra
#

Also the liability for companies as it brings the risk of them saying something not cash money. If people only would target their differing opinion to the employee and not redirect it towards the company aswell. Its a financial risk. Guilt by association

pale sigil
#

Just realised something

#

Literally do all this myself

#

With wooting

#

Haha

astral haven
#

to be fair tho wooting isnt exactly a social media company

pale sigil

Sometimes I don't hold back though.

pale sigil
astral haven
#

yup

pale sigil
#

And have to be careful what I say in public in general

#

Especially reddit

neat oriole
#

Well yeah

pale sigil
#

Idk if im truly passionate about something

#

That I really believe in

#

I will say something

neat oriole
#

As an employee you’re sort of an ambassador so things you say could reflect on wooting

astral haven
#

yup

#

and social media can be considered part of customer service

#

and bad customer service is problems

reef tundra
#

Even purely and clearly defined personal accounts would have the risk of bringing heat to the company

pale sigil
#

Ye I get that

#

I just think it's toxic to make your employees worry about whet they say in their personal time.

#

Yes I get it to a certain extent

#

I really do

astral haven

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø its a shame that it is that way but i dont see how it could be any other way

#

Well you probably don’t have to act like a PR manager when talking in private to your family

#

Well social media being twitter

neat oriole
#

Alternatively find employment with someone who lines up with your personal values

#

pale sigil

Or

#

NCIX and LTT weren’t competitors

reef tundra
#

The standard is lower for employees and their behavior. Unless you say/do/do something severe (like advocating for cp, political(especially nazi retoric, holocaust denial. conspiracism, etc), or somein. It wont cause issues

pale sigil
#

No but linus signed the contract he was very vocal about being hassle etc

#

The exact same ones he makes his employees sign

#

He's scared of his employees doing exactly what he did

astral haven
#

no?

reef tundra
#

That is hypocracy

neat oriole
#

Again, LTT and NCIX weren’t competitors

astral haven
#

^

#

you cant make a social media channel while working for a social media company

reef tundra
#

LTT was the resultants of NCIX i believe

astral haven
#

unless the company has decided not to use a certain social media

pale sigil
#

Yes, he took that idea had had for thst company

neat oriole
#

If anything NCIX benefited from LTT’s existence

pale sigil
#

And then made it into his own

astral haven
#

did you watch the lan show where he explained it?

pale sigil
#

Even though he signed an agreement

#

Saying he couldn't do so

#

He literally wasn't allowed

#

To make his own channel

#

Without breaching the contract

#

He had to lawyer up

neat oriole
#

His idea for NCIX was to switch to smaller brick and morter stores so they could get acquired by amazon

astral haven
#

again ncix is not a social media company

pale sigil
#

I'm on about the video aspect

#

LTT wasn't originally a social media company

astral haven
#

ncix doesnt make money from youtube videos

#

wut

pale sigil
#

Was just a tech channel in a house

#

Oh

#

Wait j get what you mean

#

Bleh the idea regardless

#

The concept etc

#

Was owned by them still

neat oriole
#

They were a social media company run out of Linus’ house

astral haven
#

yes the idea was owned but thats just ip

#

ip can be bought and sold no problem

pale sigil
#

Which they wouldn't let go

astral haven
#

i mean they did?

pale sigil
#

Not without a fight

astral haven
#

no?

pale sigil
#

And asking stupid demands

#

Yes?

#

Example linus still had to make videos for them

#

For x amount of time

astral haven
#

thats not a fight lel

pale sigil
#

Lawyers got involved

#

Thats a fight

astral haven
#

i can assure you that no

pale sigil
#

They had multiple offers

#

Etc

#

Linus rejected multiple and so did ncix

astral haven
#

not according to linus šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

pale sigil
#

The point is the very agreement he signed with that company and caused him issued etc is the very agreement he makes his employees sign

astral haven
#

no

#

when did he ever say he had any issue with the agreement he signed?

#

i dont remember that at all?

pale sigil
#

In multiple videos he talked about how it was difficult to get rights to do it bevsuse of said contracts

#

And thst it was a back and fourth issue

astral haven
#

did he ever say he had any issue with that?

pale sigil
#

Till they come with an agreement

#

Yes

#

When they went bust he said it all

neat oriole
#

Iirc originally the LTT channel was only to be worked on off work hours

astral haven
#

yea he wasnt happy that he couldnt get the ncix channel

pale sigil
#

As they had no legal grounds anymore

#

As another agreement was to keep the terms silent etc

#

No

#

Not that

#

The fact he wasn't allowed to make his own channel

#

He wanted to also take the channel but that was a seperate thing

#

But ye when they went bust linus literally said since I'm not longer legally tied I can discuss how it went down

#

And he talked about all this stuff

#

Ugh oh

#

Calder is here

Gonna go hide

1bn in damages isn't the value of goods on the ship itself - if Egypt is demanding it, then it's for loss in revenue and repairs to the canal.

Depending on the cause of blockage was human error, technical, or "force majeur" it will decide who and if they have a claim right.

This should be stipulated in a service contract with the suez canal if what Lordpanda says it's true, being that they need to pay a toll + escort fee.

astral haven
#

lol

hexed gyro
#

I'm reading now $3.5 billion worth of cargo - ok

astral haven
#

on just that one ship?

pale sigil
#

Ship itself is cheap af

astral haven
#

yea so what about the 40? other ships that ended up stuck

hexed gyro
#

(I'm not a lwayer, but just basics) The ships that ended up stuck, they can't claim damages unless they were guaranteed passage and it's stipulated in a contract they're compensated for breach of contract - Breach being for example not getting passage within x days.

#

Same goes for their insurance and what is exactly stipulated in the insurance. It's a manner of finding the border of definitions, that's what you'd have a good lawyer for.

#

Usually a contract also limited the amount of damage that a company can possible claim for breach.

#

if there's no contract at all or a very weak contract, then it's a free reign, and you get things like Egypt keeping a ship hostage as leverage

astral haven
#

im somewhat surprised that noone is really talking about the specifics of the contract

#

youd think that the contract controlling 10% of the world economy would be public

neat oriole
#

I re-watched the bit of the wan show after NCIX went bust and basically the only reason they had lawyers involved was to do it by the books so that when NCIX collapsed, their creditors couldn’t claim LTT.

#

Maybe there’s more where he talked about it but idk

#

Seems like he trained the new NCIX people how to make videos and then peaced out with Luke and Edsel

#

LTT had 240k subs at that time

astral haven
#

iirc the only thing that linus ever whined about was not getting the channel or the play buttons

neat oriole
#

Yeah he was sad he couldn’t get them for the NCIX channel

astral haven
#

and he wasnt too sad about the play buttons since the person who got it had zero play buttons and deserved one

neat oriole
#

Oh yeah I think there was some drama around that

#

Like some guy who had 100k subs but something happened to his button or something?

#

Don’t remember too much

young pecan
#

Have any of you guys had experience setting up acoustic panels and bass traps?

#

The tech looks extremely interesting, fucking expensive, tho...

reef tundra
# hexed gyro 1bn in damages isn't the value of goods on the ship itself - if Egypt is demandi...
#

The rules of navigation also go into the "terms of use" and liability, if interrested.

In anyway it is going to be very complex legally and you need a lot of smart competent lawyers to figure the mess out

oh hey.... This is the first time I had both plugged in with USB and they show as separate outputs here

cursive summit

That shouldn't be the case though

#

Well maybe with USB, it is

#

But hyperx does the whole double input thingy

wheat plume
#

yeh cause these headphones have a mic too

#

that I happened to lose..... .-.

#

but the input channel stil shows up

atomic wharf
#

it should be separate output

wheat plume
atomic wharf
#

they have different programs and are not standardised

wheat plume
#

yeh, all good here
I just cant get the speakers to be used once I power them on

atomic wharf
#

you need to manually change the output every time

wheat plume
#

I didnt have to wen I had my headphones plugged in with the front jack

#

it auto switched to speakers when I turned them on and back to headphones when turned off

atomic wharf
#

front jack and the rear jacks are using the same microsoft audio controller so you can do this, but it will not function the same when using discrete USB connection

wheat plume
#

I prefer Linux's way... it does autochange back and fourth even over USB

#

well, last time it did, I havent connected them with USB in a good bit now

ashen spindle
#

so if I plug in a controller it would switch in and output to the controller.. yeah not thanks I'd rather have the MS way

wheat plume
#

no, audio devices

ashen spindle
#

yes

wheat plume
#

Controller isnt audio device

ashen spindle
#

at least ps4 controllers have audio/mic inlcuded

wheat plume
#

oh hmm

ashen spindle
#

and shows up as audio device

atomic wharf
#

or like me i use external DAC and a discrete mic

wheat plume
#

I have a discrete mic

#

cause I lost my headset one

ashen spindle
#

and I plug my controller in much more than any actual audio device so I much prefer it not changing it every time

wheat plume
#

you can tell it to switch

#

it doesnt normally

atomic wharf
#

haven't tried the jack on the controller though

wheat plume
#

yeah same

ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

yeh cause I set up that way

#

just get pulseaudio control setting

ashen spindle
#

so it's not linux way but you prefer your settings...

wheat plume
#

idk how to do that on windows

#

so yeah, I can do it on Linux, so I prefer it cause of that

atomic wharf
#

win10 is wonky so i just go with it

ashen spindle
#

but that's not prefering one over the other that's just knowing the settings in one and not the other notlikemiya

wheat plume
#

oookk then

#

I need to find out how to do that in windows, I thought simply making the speakers the default output would work but it doesnt

#

Unless you need a reboot to apply that setting?

atomic wharf

I dont get python

#

I have to make an "error dialog box" despite this being a script that runs in terminal and usually is meant to be run automatically

why tf we need a popup window in terminal mode?

pretty sure MessageBoxA is in user32.dll

It does what it wants, as long as it does what it needs. Good for C/C++ access to the windows api and co

my exact instructions are "instead of simply printing..do an error dialog box and raise systemexit"

Give the kernel the signal to kill the process themselves

intel trying to stay competitive with these OMEGALUL

crisp granite
#

that kind of pricing?

#

seriously?

old marlin
#

pricing is not even the biggest issue

#

imo

crisp granite
#

true

ashen spindle
#

pricing doesnt matter it's just for show anyway

old marlin
#

biggest issue is that they have too little core count

ashen spindle
#

nobody on amd or intel side ends up paying tray pricing

old marlin
#

like 40C is not that much

crisp granite
#

still, it's a token fight tbh

#

AMD is dominating this space

#

or at least should

old marlin
#

well

#

atm intel holds a lot of share because people have software that is optimized for intel

crimson wigeon
#

AVX512

old marlin
#
  • supply is also a big factor
#

oh yea and AVX

#

in general

#

oh also

#

TDP of the 8380HL is 250W

#

non HL is 270W

#

these are 10nm mind you

zenith sonnet
#

If you exclusively run one of those five workloads where it's faster, then sure AVX512 is a consideration
Other than that, it exists to look good in benchmarks

reef tundra
#

The performance per watt on intel series is terrible compared to AMDs offering.

zenith sonnet
#

Just look at RKL needing 3.5 times as much power for a single CB run as Ryzen

zenith sonnet
#

Well, how are they gonna sell them to business customers without a fancy "our CPU is 1.5 times faster per core than AMD at this specific synthetic workload! Also, here's 50$ to ignore the rumour that AMD has 1.5 times more cores for half the money."

crimson wigeon
#

Sounds good I'll have 20

proper crystal
#

The biggest problem for Ice Lake isn't the comparison to AMD or ARM stuff.

It's the platform "appeal".

ashen spindle
#

as someone pointed out a while ago, dont remember who, it's a bit awkward with SPR so soon after and those using ddr5/CXL so moving all the interconnects to pcie4 for just one platform seems a but awkward

#

ah

proper crystal
#

Well the PCIe 4 add-in card ecosystem is quite good thanks to Rome.
But the bigger issue is that SPR is supposedly quite close, and Ice Lake platform is an orphan with no upgrade paths.

ashen spindle

What’s the difference between glossy and matte mouse?

astral haven
#

glossy is shiny and matte isnt
yes thats actually the only significant difference

vast moss

One attracts a lot of fingerprints; the other not as much

old marlin
analog aspen
#

G Pro Superlight white version’s coating is so nice I like it the best out of all the mices I got

#

Never owned a glossy mice tho. But I ordered m2k

old marlin
#

I have normal hands

#

you are aware that some people just have sweaty hands and some don't?

analog aspen
old marlin
#

glossy is prob better for you then

#

also luckily it is MUCH easier to get a mouse glossy than it is to get it matte

analog aspen
#

Yeah the reason I asked is because there’s option to sandblast the m2k

#

It comes glossy exactly like M1K

#

Sand blasting extra production step so could potentially create more problems.
I don’t know if I should give glossy mouse a try
I tried touching my monitor arm is has glossy surface. The grip is fine but I prefer grainy surface over smooth surface (feels cleaner for some reason)

Just a different cooler color, doesn’t cost more so it’s not like it matters either way

#

But those would be actually different skus not just a different color on the plastic ...

#

ok no these not the same things

#

ofc not

#

why would you make it exclusive after the last time that was done everyone shit on amd for doing that

#

because news like that is what people signed up for?

#

"hey we are having some restock of something at this time and you signed up for news about it, but we are going to sell out anyway so we ain't telling you about it despite the fact you signed up for this" waitwhat

#

so whats the magic solution they should do instead

#

create a new fab in a week?

#

not send any emails anymore?

crimson wigeon
#

Whaddya mean 10 people managed to buy them!

ashen spindle
#

so instead they should just secretly make it, so only bots can buy it?

#

I dont see what other way is better

#

40 series will be out by then lol

ashen spindle

"I couldn't buy it so I dont want other people to have a chance either, just let bots buy them and dont tell anyone"

nothing could go wrong with that!

#

if it was getting IDd in person that would be fine

astral haven
#

You can't collect that sort of stuff

#

And there's no way to do that online without somehow storing the data

ashen spindle
#

yes, primarily something should be changed about the absolutely wrong perception that all this is only caused by bots/miners

astral haven
#

Yup

ashen spindle
#

im not disagreeing

astral haven
#

30-40 million new steam users need a gpu

ashen spindle
#

I'm merely saying bots almost dont matter

#

ok but the situation would be the exact same without them

astral haven
#

Bots can't not exist

ashen spindle
#

so its not like it's worth spending an insane ammount of effort on them

#

ok but nobody else was

astral haven
#

So amd shouldn't have made the consoles?

#

Thats not a good business decision lel

ashen spindle
astral haven
#

Again million people a month buying each console

ashen spindle
#

aside from the 5950x, any ryzen has been in stock since forever, maybe 1 or 2 weeks with some lower stock

Dunno where you live quin but that's not the situation here

#

In the us

ashen spindle
#

screenshot is from mindfactory

#

and sure it might not be the same I kinda doubt you can't buy a ryzen without bots even in the us

almost like it's easier to fulfil demand that is much lower Thinking

yeah because bitcoin matters when literally nobody mines that on gpus..

Hey guys, i owned a wooting one about two years ago but returned it because i didnt like the keys. but i realy loved the software and the idea of an analog keyboard. now i struggle with the idea to buy a wooting again and change the keycaps.

Twisting when pulling, mostly

#

If you're not aware that you should pull straight up, you might easily break one just pulling slightly sideways

#

It's more like: Too many things to know how everything works any more

#

Some people are good at engineering, some learn handiwork, others learn medicine or house keeping
The key is: be aware when you're about to break something because you don't know what you're doing

#

That's just a personality trait

neat oriole
#

Oh is that the cherry m whatever super low profile?

Isn’t that like a $150 option?

Wasn't there also news of a Ryzen laptop with 6800 series mobile graphics recently?

#

Ofc

#

Always is

astral haven
#

wdym isnt

#

that alienware you showed is pretty darn thin

#

and its well over 8 pounds

#

that aint gonna be enough heatpipage for a full 3060 šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

#

its gonna be 90w or 80w

#

instead of the full 120w

#

yea not a chance itll hold that

#

yea zero chance it holds that if the cpu is running anything over 25w

#

so you might be able to run 2 cores flat out

#

they aint cooling 150w in 20mm

#

its just not happening

#

oh my fucking god those utter imbiciles

#

theres so much space on the back

#

smh

#

at least its 2.5 gbe

astral haven
#

yea the processor has a chance of being cooled, but the gpu is deffo gonna throttle

#

tho i guess it literally doesnt matter at 1080p since itll be cpu bound no matter what pretty much

analog aspen
#

@astral haven gave GPU OC a try today. Both 1080p preset but OC-ing Core Clock alone FurMark doesn’t crash +123 but Firestrike crash at +33 what is this sorcery xD

astral haven
#

you can be unstable without crashing

#

use occt to check stability

#

also firestrike is alot higher clock than furmark

#

with boosty gpus (literally any gpu after 2015) you gotta test a bunch of different levels of gpu stress

analog aspen
#

Firestrike just failed my +25

#

XD

#

Gonna try +17 now

#

Looks like it’s gonna crash anything not +0 at this point lmao

astral haven
#

oh dont forget that firestrike is also harsh on the cpu

#

even the gpu test

#

gpu test doesnt use avx but has pretty harsh sse

#

and worst case sse is more stressful than medium stress avx

analog aspen
#

Firestrike just failed +17 as well

astral haven
#

remember if your gpu is power limited you need to lower the gpu usage % slider in occt

analog aspen
#

My PSU is 1000W so I doubt it’s the case

astral haven
#

no

analog aspen
#

In MSI AfterBurner every slides is at max but the clocks

astral haven
#

gpu power

#

just because you maxed the slider doesnt mean you arent limited

#

all 10 series and later nvidia are power limited

analog aspen
#

How to know if I’m power limited then

#

I use 2080ti

astral haven
#

look at the power usage

#

if it goes up to a number and then stays there, and your clock goes down, you are power limited

analog aspen
#

In OCCT?

astral haven
#

in anything

#

but occt too

#

occt will jump straight to a lower clock usually tho

#

no ramping

analog aspen
#

O and for CPU I listened to you, downclocked to 5.2ghz, downed level, 0 avx offset

#

CPU is super stable rn

#

5 tests 1 hr in OCCT of Small/Extreme/AVX2-AVX-SSE

#

Yayyyy my GPU passed Firestrike at +9

#

xD

#

I think it’s the case actually

#

No point having GPU OC’d then

#

MSI running in the background conflicts with some overlay programs

#

+9 is not gonna make that much difference vs +0

astral haven
#

remember your clock is already higher than it would other wise be cause of the increased power limit

analog aspen
#

The score actually decreases going from +0 to +9

#

Neat

#

I’m looking to see if the GPU is limited by power

#

core clock looks like that during stress test

#

power%, reached ~105% and stays there

astral haven
#

you can also open hwinfo

analog aspen
#

Ooo

analog aspen
#

Yeah I have both Power and Ultilization limit at maximum

#

According to hwinfo it’s basically normal tho until they allow their cards to draw more

#

But you’d always hit that wall when OC-ing and stress testing anyways

astral haven
#

you can choose not to with occt

astral haven
#

well yes

#

So, I found something amazing today

#

In my search a good hifi headphone piece

#

I found the Hifiman Deva

#

Which is, apparently, livelier sounding than Sundaras, with a BT adapter, and an included amp/dac in the package

#

Same price if not cheaper than the Sundaras

#

That sounds like a great deal

old marlin
#

the deva is effectively the same as the he500 btw

#

same drivers

cursive summit
#

He 500s are like 599

#

This is with the bluetooth dongle, a dac/amp and the headphones, 299

#

Isn't that a great deal?

old marlin
#

yea

#

well

#

you prob don't wanna use bluetooth for most things

cursive summit
#

People are saying Hifimans have a lacklustre soundstage, but sometimes it works in their favour

#

The deva sounds livelier than the Sundara apparently

old marlin
#

have not listened to them a lot yet

cursive summit
#

More fun sound

old marlin
#

due to my brothers he400is falling apart

#

and me not buying a cable fitting my amp because of that

cursive summit
#

How were the 400i's?

old marlin
#

he liked them

#

like I said though

#

they fell apart

cursive summit
#

Are they "high end"?

old marlin
#

he replaced ear polsters 3 times in a year

#

and the plastic rings holding the grates on the sides start to loosen over time

#

causing them to rattle at certain frequencies

cursive summit
#

Like I just need a high end sound, not to worry about any new headphones ever again

old marlin
#

like

#

they sound great when they function right

#

but that isn't always the case

#

also the 2021 revision apparently got worse again OMEGALUL

cursive summit
#

So I guess they'll trump my K371s

old marlin
#

yea idk

#

I'd guess so

cursive summit
#

Especially with an included dac/amp

old marlin
#

well

#

BT is kinda dogshit

#

for anything but listeining to music

cursive summit
#

Thats mostly all I do

old marlin
#

also runtime seems kinda bad?

#

5 hours a charge

#

wait

#

what

#

Bluemini Battery Life : 7-10 Hours (Bluetooth); 4-5 Hours (USB DAC no charging)

#

I probably would be pissed with one side being heavier

#

but prob something very subjective

cursive summit
#

I'll need to research more about this particular option

#

Might be a really good find

#

I need something that sounds high end for the cheapest price

#

Sundaras will net me like 300€, I'll need 300€ or so extra for amp/dac

#

This is an all in one package that supposedly sounds better than the base Sundaras? So I'm really in for that

zenith sonnet
cursive summit
#

Like I need to spend as little money as possible for high end sound

#

This looks to be a really good offering ngl

misty saffron
#

i'm completely happy with my sundara

cursive summit
#

Do you got a dac and an amp attached to it?

misty saffron
#

fiio something

cursive summit
#

Cause I can try finding online used Sundaras for 250€

#

But this thing the whole package brand new is 299€

#

You needed new headphones right?

#

Look no further, I found the best new thing lul

#

Apparently the HE 400i 2020 version is 400$ headphones just priced down

wheat plume
#

O.o

cursive summit
#

They ship from EU it seems

wheat plume
#

interesting....

cursive summit
#

Apparently it sounds really good

#

It's planars also so

#

Take that as you will

wheat plume
#

oh yeh... apparently those sounds amazing

cursive summit
#

So if you are in the market for headphones

#

The 2020 model of HE 400i seems to be overwhelmingly positively received

#

I am looking at the Hifiman Deva rn

#

And the review says "One thing that is worth mentioning is that the Deva is a similar headphone to Hifiman’s He400i 2020. The biggest difference between the two when it comes to the sound is a slightly different timbre. That’s actually a great thing, as we still think the 400i is THE headphone to beat in the +/- $200 price market."

#

Deva costs 299 lul

wheat plume
#

wtf is timbre?

#

is this site safe?

That's the official hifiman store..

idk what hifiman is but ... ok then!

oh wow
