[misty saffron]

fuck if i know

[young pecan]

To be fair there's multiple versions and they're some of the cheapest quality planars outside of Drop one can buy.

Honestly though, at some point it's worth just testing a bunch of super high quality phones.

[chrome estuary]

^

[young pecan]

My next set are probably going to be Audeze LCD-3s, but I already love my Sennheisers and I know the LCD-3s sound great as well.

Though a better amp is also pretty tempting...

[chrome estuary]

I've heard good things about the LCD2C and the LCD-X

[young pecan]

LCD-X is 5 grand or something?

[chrome estuary]

1200

the fucking LCD-3 is 1900

almost 2000

[young pecan]

$2,500 AUD.

[misty saffron]

these 100 euro hd600 have much better soundstage than sundara

[young pecan]

Though I can nab em at $1,600.

[chrome estuary]

ah yeah i'm using USD

[misty saffron]

genuinely a night and day difference

[young pecan]

Mmmm.

If you're going budget Sennheiser you better be going 6XX. :P

Those things are basically uncontested in all fields.

[misty saffron]

if you’re going budget sennheiser buy them used

[young pecan]

Yee.

Actually find 6XX for something like $130 AUD.

It's hilarious how cheap they can be had.

[misty saffron]

new hd600 are 300 euro, i bought them for 100

[thick elk]

My biggest gripe with the 6xx is that they are not the most comfortable even after a little bit of bending.
Besides that they are great.

[young pecan]

I found them to be quite nice to use with Dekoni pads installed.

But yeah, stock they're kinda alright.

[chrome estuary]

You might be thinking of the LCD4 which are 4000 USD

[thick elk]

I came from a hd 555 before and that was a lot more comfortable.

[misty saffron]

granted the headband foam thing is completely fucking gone on the ones i bought

but it’s a horribly cheap replacement

[young pecan]

Mmmm.

I do want the LCD-3s...

But the LCD-4s...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Worth almost 6 and a half grand, tho. :L

Might be worthwhile, I think.

Maybe if I get a really good amp at the same time, do a whole upgrade...

But then I'd need to actually go shopping for valves. Maybe Holy Grails or something from '65.

[misty saffron]

spending that much on headphones is regarded in my opinion

retarded

[young pecan]

shrugs

[misty saffron]

1/3rd of the price of a good car

[young pecan]

I do crypto mining, within a few years I'll be hilariously wealthy if I don't fuck up.

I'll be able to buy a lambo for shits and giggles.

[cursive summit]

You people are idiots

[thick elk]

For me the 6xx are definitely the sweetspot mostly.
Beating them in terms of sound quality without going overboard in price is hard.
And they really do not need an amp unlike what a lot of people claim.
Yes they have higher impedance but their sensitivity is still perfectly fine.

[cursive summit]

Here we were talking about budget headphones

HURRDURR BUY LCD-3

At MOST I'll be getting the Focal Elexes

[young pecan]

I already own a pair of HD800S, it's not a far leap. :P

[cursive summit]

And I do want to try out K812s

[chrome estuary]

i want a pair of the blue granite HD600

[young pecan]

@thick elk Could not be more wrong. You can run them without one, but they benefit so heavily from having an amp.

Shit, just the change when I got my Cavalli CTM was amazing.

And when I rolled my E88CC in was even better.

Just made everything sound way less muddy and far more intimate.

[chrome estuary]

https://www.headphonesty.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/7.Sennheiser-HD-600-1100x1639.jpg

like look how pretty they are

[young pecan]

Most headphones don't strictly need an amp to run, but it's the same as saying you can run any car on E10.

I mean yes, you can make it work on E10.

But... really?

Multi thousand dollar machine and you run E10 in it? There's such a blindingly obvious change between a fuel like E10 and 98 or 99.

[cursive summit]

Yeah HD600s/6XXs are a bit of "not worth" for me

[young pecan]

It feels so disingenuous saying they don't need an amp because they kinda do or else you wasted money on something you can't experience.

[cursive summit]

Why go 600 if you can get 650s

[young pecan]

Why indeed, but the 6XX is literally the 650 but cheaper.

[thick elk]

6xx is the 650 not 600

[young pecan]

^

[cursive summit]

6XX is U.S only

[young pecan]

Uhh, no.

[cursive summit]

Which means ridiculous imports taxes

And that literally puts them at about 300$ here

[young pecan]

I purchased mine from Drop for $400 AUD no severe import tax.

I'm in Aussieland.

[cursive summit]

Yeah hello there Aussie

Europe here

[young pecan]

You seen our import tax? It's nightmare.

Why do you think a decent Tesla is $110,000 here?

Less than half that anywhere else.

[reef patrol]

Why on earth would you buy an electric car in the wasteland?

[young pecan]

I mean... it's only mostly wasteland. :(

@cursive summit But nah, go for the 6XX man.

[cursive summit]

No

[young pecan]

It's so far worth it above literally any other pair.

650 be damned.

You can prolly even find a second hand one, and that's an amazing deal.

[chrome estuary]

i just assumed tesla was expensive everywhere cause y'know... it's an elon musk product

[young pecan]

Nah, in most other places switched for AUD it's like 70k or so for a good one.

But in Aussieland it's 40k more expensive because reasons.

[cursive summit]

None in EU

Meh I'd rather again, K712 Pro

Or Sundaras for 290

What my ears decide, that will be the option

[young pecan]

tips hat Aye!

Though if you locate em in a store at least give them a try. :P

[cursive summit]

Again I am mostly interested in 712s, Sundaras and 650s

I will try out if I can: Focal Elex/Clear, K812s (I heard it's way too overpriced), Hifiman Susvaras/Anandas

[zenith sonnet]

Tbh, I'm not yet decided between the K712 or Sundara

On a cheap AMP/DAC combo like the E10K, definitely Sundara

But I probably notice the lack of quality on the K712 more than the lack of soundstage on the Sundara

[young pecan]

Literally go for 6XX and you get the best of all of those phones.

[cursive summit]

I actually took a look

At the customs and shipping

With all the customs

240 euros

[young pecan]

Mhmm, looks about right.

They compete with headphones in the $800 USD range.

[cursive summit]

Meanwhile

[young pecan]

Mhmm.

[cursive summit]

And the Sundaras are 290

[young pecan]

And the K712s are not nearly as good as the 6XX.

[cursive summit]

I doubt that

[young pecan]

Or the Sundara’s for that fact.

I speak having owned them.

The sheer quality of the drivers far outstrips the price.

[cursive summit]

You can't say either of those 3 as better than one another when they do things differently

[young pecan]

Mmm, kinda.

[chrome estuary]

The thing about the K712 Pro is that they're reference headphones

[young pecan]

Sennheisers sound a lot warmer than most phones, and K712s are reference.

[cursive summit]

Sundaras will prolly sound the most analytical, K712s are the best in terms of soundstage, and 6XXs will sound the most fun, or warmest

I prefer analytical neutral

[young pecan]

K712s won’t be the best in soundstage.

That goes to the 6XX as well.

[cursive summit]

But they will though

[young pecan]

They really won’t.

Not at the price point.

[cursive summit]

Best in THAT COMPARISON

[young pecan]

See, the 650s are expensive phones, the only reason the 6XX is so cheap is because the material is plastic instead of metal.

The drivers are upgraded.

[cursive summit]

Sundaras lack in soundstage but it's good enough

I don't know much about the Sennheiser phones

Other than they are warm

[young pecan]

shrugs I’ve used them all before, the Sennheisers sound the best.

Warmer.

[cursive summit]

Honestly Ares said get Sundaras, so imma get EITHER 712s or Sundaras

[young pecan]

But generally they’re better at the direct comparison stuff.

sigh No, do not.

[cursive summit]

Meh I prefer neutral

[young pecan]

And you don’t even know what they sound like, you’re going off someone else’s word.

Do not.

Go find a pair and listen to them.

[cursive summit]

I actually listened to a "YouTube" comparison

But yeah I'll defo go to an audio shop

[young pecan]

First hand experience. I’ve tried all 3 of those phones myself.

[cursive summit]

Before buying

I'd be a retard not to try them out before buying

[young pecan]

I can tell you the K712s don’t sound as intimate since they’re reference, the Sundaras are only good if on sale with mods, and the Sennheisers fall into the same category.

Neutral noise is nice, yes.

But you’re better off getting something more expensive than Sundaras or K712 for that.

I’d go for Planars with a good solid state amp if you want that.

You won’t get what you want out of dynamics.

[cursive summit]

I'm planning to get a DAC with those knobs

For EQing

[young pecan]

Why not just run EQAPO?

Same function, just software.

[cursive summit]

I dislike running software in the background

[young pecan]

Then the DAC will cost you hundreds extra.

Then you need a good amp, which is hundreds more.

[chrome estuary]

What do you think of the BTR5?

Also they already have a Heresy combo (I think)

[cursive summit]

Nop

[young pecan]

Mhmm, for a good one with nice EQ controls.

[cursive summit]

Second hand market is overpopulated with DACs

And you can get some high end shit for pennies

Honestly we even have a lot of DIY DACs and AMPs for sale

[young pecan]

Look, you seem to have no idea what you’re doing.

That’s the long and short of it.

From what I see you have zero idea on what it is you’re supposed to be looking for.

Go reassess your goals and set a price target and effort target.

It’s a common fuckup, but first go try some phones in a store.

Check a bunch of price ranges, see what you like, and follow it up with fact checked research.

Don’t listen to shit anyone else says, take suggestions for exactly that, and go do what sounds good to you.

The most you should be taking from anyone else is suggestions for headphones and experience with them, looking for build quality and the like.

Buying headphones is entirely subjective.

[cursive summit]

Yeah I think I already made up my mind before you interrupted it

[young pecan]

Indeed, and that sounds like the end of that, no?

[cursive summit]

And I got no clue wtf are you talking about when I from the very beginning said: I will go to an audio shop and find out

Your advice: go to an audio shop

So, what's the problem?

[young pecan]

Take a fifth of what I said, alright.

Also cool.

[cursive summit]

Nothing of what you really said is something I haven't heard of before

[young pecan]

Coolio.

[cursive summit]

No offense taken, no offense intended

Just, really, I made up my mind

[young pecan]

Exactly, so head out to that audio store.

Try on some 8 grand phones and feel sad.

Everyone does it.

[cursive summit]

1. No local shop has those

2. I doubt it

[young pecan]

The allure of something more expensive than almost all first cars is too much.

You listen to them once and feel this pull. The longing to own them.

And then you feel big depresso.

[cursive summit]

I kinda doubt that ngl

It'll be hard to part with these cans cause they already feel great

Nothing can really be so much better that I'd want them

[young pecan]

shrugs Not my problem.

All I can tell you is there’s something so very good about a really nicely made product.

Random Ford versus Ferrari.

Same deal.

The Ford will be nice and it’ll work, but that’s a ferrari. It’s in an entirely different league.

And for headphones? The massively wide soundstage that’s so big that you feel like you’re in a concert hall when your eyes are closed, the crisp production that feels so nice and premium, every little detail hidden in the songs that you could have sworn you knew before, and the lyrics that’re so smooth that the music sounds entirely different.

You listen to a high end pair of headphones and the listening experience is entirely different.
Ferrari versus Ford.

[cursive summit]

I'm just happy to be able to drive

Also why'd you own a Ferrari over a good Ford when the rari will just get jacked

Against Sundaras are unrivaled in value up to what, 700$ or so

Up until like LCD-2s yeah

They have their tiny faults but they are technologically superior to anything else up until that price point

Does that mean they are the best? Fuck no, it's all subjective

You can spend a grand and be unhappy with your purchase

Again for me I think my ears mostly appreciate the spatial factor

When the sound pops off and sounds like it's around me, that gives me a whole lot of cool emotions

[young pecan]

shrugs Pog.

Still, there’s something to be said for lack of experience.

You’ve not used the more expensive pairs, no?

8k+, that kind of insane range.

(For the whole setup, amp and all)

[cursive summit]

Mate

I live in Klaipėda

A coastal city with population of 140.000

We have NO audio shops here

Not a single one

The next two bigger cities is Kaunas and Vilnius

Kaunas has like, also no audio shops

The only other one is Vilnius and that one has like 1 audio shop

[young pecan]

How the hell are there zero audio shops with 140k people?

The fuck?

[cursive summit]

And it's covid rn so borders are closed

Can't travel beyond city limits

[young pecan]

In Aussieland some places with 20k or so have audio shops.

140k? Jeez.

[cursive summit]

We have audio shops, but for instruments

Hi-fi audio shops are only in like a few places, in the capital

[young pecan]

Anywho, I’m gonna assume you speak not having experience.

[cursive summit]

300kms away

Yeah I got no experience

[young pecan]

Once you get to use a high end system that’s complete you’ll know.

[cursive summit]

Cause no audio shops

[young pecan]

But until you have that experience you have no idea.

It’s like any advanced experience in life, you won’t know what the fuss is about until you do it, y’know?

144Hz gaming, fast cars, gambling, extremely good audio, skydiving.

They’re all experiences you can’t think about or describe until you do them.

[cursive summit]

I was genuinely thinking of opening an audio business here

[young pecan]

Not a bad idea.

[cursive summit]

Dunno, might need to follow up on that

[young pecan]

Lack of competition and whatnot.

Can’t get much more fertile ground.

Mmm. What would you try selling?

Hifi stuff, or something else? Custom solutions?

[cursive summit]

Two biggest search engines

For prices

Nothing

So yeah there's money to be made here

[young pecan]

Y’know what’s horrible about hifi?

It ruins bad audio for you.

Badly encoded MP3s become aids cancer whereas before they’d be doable if annoying.

[cursive summit]

So like normal keebs vs mechanical keebs?

I actually don't have that

I can use 5$ keebs no problem

They feel bad but eh

Wooting is great but not that great

[young pecan]

Wooting is mid end.

Very niche use mid end, but mid end nonetheless.

It’s advantage is that it’s analogue, what you’re thinking would more be completely custom switches built around the person.

That kind of thing would ruin cheap keyboards entirely.

[young pecan]

Wym 2005?

You do realise that a vast majority of people use Spotify which is MP3?

Depresso, but that’s how it be.

[reef patrol]

Ogg...

Spotify uses OGG my dude.

[young pecan]

No shit?

Consider me corrected.

Pog.

Lmao

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4v8BVKlAfM

It's the latest fashion!

[young pecan]

Personally I’m tempted into just rejoining Redacted and taking all of their music.

Or maybe going through SoulSeek again.

SoulSeek is great and needs more love.

SoulSeek I find is better for obscure stuff.

But otherwise yeah, you right.

There’s always that one rando in SoulSeek that happens to have the esoteric weird collection in perfect FLAC.

Lmao

[shadow minnow]

https://youtu.be/MW3_VUgRafE

[crisp granite]

impossible

[shadow minnow]

Also thought so.

[crisp granite]

tbh, a 14nm furnace at 5.5 GHz will beat a 7nm 16 core behemoth any day, in pure frame rate

[shadow minnow]

It’s actually 10nm super fin, which seems to be quite good

[shadow minnow]

What else should it be?

[ashen spindle]

how can you make a video calling it the fastest cpu and just leave out that its just the fastest laptop cpu

[crisp granite]

it's LTT

[ashen spindle]

thats just not clickbait anymore thats just misleading

[crisp granite]

what did you expect?

[ashen spindle]

I expect clickbait not false titles from them still

[shadow minnow]

Yeah the title of the video was such a clickbait

[ashen spindle]

no thats the point, it is not clickbait it is false

clickbait does not imply it's wrong

[shadow minnow]

It’s basically both. Yeah, which is even worse, at least he did put laptop cpu into preview but still.

But also in cases like this, especially with more things to compare, I think the bar charts are a bit better overall tbh

[zenith sonnet]

Money flowing behind the scenes?

[shadow minnow]

Ltt just really like these clickbait titles for views I guess. Afaik they did sth very similar few months ago, but that time not sure if it was not with GPU or cpu again.

[wheat plume]

It seems Samsung are replacing Bixby with Sam

and this time, she has a 3D model

Unless Im being trolled

[pale sigil]

its not official

[wheat plume]

oo

[pale sigil]

https://www.facebook.com/lightfarmbr/posts/1955460447938972

https://www.lightfarm.com/home/work/samsung-virtual-assistant

[wheat plume]

Wait this was a thing before now, they are saying this is a redesign

oh, was 2D

[pale sigil]

https://vimeo.com/552576540

[wheat plume]

its not quite anime style and its throwing me off... but pretty cute :D

[cursive summit]

Can't wait for rule 34 of this

[wheat plume]

oh boiz....

this link already has her base model

[wheat plume]

WHY TF
ARE ISPs
IN CHARGE OF SOFTWARE UPDATES?!
In America

ah yes, I would love to get the May security patch but my ISP wont push it out yet....

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[crisp granite]

lana

that's america

[wheat plume]

Yes

but why tho

[crisp granite]

that's america

it's what they do

[wheat plume]

stupid

[pale sigil]

They are in charge of software in the UK

[crisp granite]

[wheat plume]

🤦🏼 The UK is similar to USA in the wrong ways

[crisp granite]

yep

[ashen spindle]

what software updates are we even talking about? router?

[wheat plume]

No, Android updates

[pale sigil]

I don't touch my router anymore though

Since j use my ownn

Oh you said isp

[wheat plume]

Yeah... I meant carrier

Im tired

[pale sigil]

XD

[wheat plume]

I had 5 hours sleep in the last two days

[crisp granite]

then...

[pale sigil]

But they are worldwide aren't they

[crisp granite]

why don't you get some sleep?

[wheat plume]

cause Im playig music that I like rn

[crisp granite]

it's good and healthy, all the rage among the cool and hip nowadays

I, of course, don't do it much; gaming is always better at 3am after burning your hands and arms cooking, mere minutes before you start playing

[ashen spindle]

and yeah I think thats not an NA thing but worldwide just in the US you are more likely to have a phone via contract than in europe where more people by it directly and not from a carrier

[wheat plume]

Not here, most of the time
I have seen some cheaper phones have like "Vodaphone Updater" r whatnot that you use to gt software updates

[crisp granite]

that's a thing here actually, phones from carriers, bundles with plans

"unlimited with the latest iPhone"

[ashen spindle]

yeah so its literally the same as if you get a OEM pc from dell and the dell software handles updates

so I dont see the issue

[wheat plume]

nahm windows settings handles updates

"handles" .... they are not stable a lot of the time lel

[crisp granite]

nah, nuclear family would have hand me downs, kids get the last gen phones from the parents

and would only upgrade every 2-3 gens

wtf

my spawn ain't ever gettin' the latest phone

I was one

they will bash it in

nope

usually bashed in iPhones

cracked screens

the works

lolnope

to be fair, some had last gen or even current gen iPhones at a given time

but...

those were the people I avoided, some odd ass tie between showing wealth of parents and being a jackass

[cursive summit]

I knew a person who got a brand new phone once

Dropped the phone and cracked it the next day

Somehow it was usually girls

Phones don't last long for them

I never actually broke my phone once, not by dropping at least

Which is funny considering I did slippery finger my phones on concrete before

[chrome estuary]

Speaking of phones. I'm hoping the Zenfone 8 Flip comes with an unlocked bootloader

I want a new phone, especially with LineageOS

[crisp granite]

I've actually been considering splashing out on a new phone for a while now

but...

nothing really catches my eye

[chrome estuary]

The Zenfone has caught my eye since the 6.

But I didn't know how well it would work with AT&T

[chrome estuary]

Tbh I just want to root the phone and have a clean rom experience again

[young pecan]

I purchased a Roomba a little while ago and it arrived fucked.

Got annoyed so they sent a replacement part.

The part was fucked.

Got annoyed again and they sent a replacement Roomba entirely.

Replacement Roomba was also fucked.

Me:

https://tenor.com/view/goofy-trial-crazy-evil-ill-fucking-do-it-again-gif-17111514

Though with that said I've managed to repair both, but there's not a fucking chance I'll actually tell them that.

[reef tundra]

Just don't get caught, Micky doesn't have to money to afford the best lawyer again this time

[shadow minnow]

I mean, can they straight up sue you for it?

[reef tundra]

Technically it would be falling under the broad umbrella term of fraud

[shadow minnow]

Would it if you only repaired it after you got replacement and had no idea you can repair it before?

[young pecan]

Not quite fraud.

I have warranty and it was broken when I claimed it.

They didn't ask for it back and I asked what I should do.

They said nothing.

[reef tundra]

Doubt they want to even pressue that option. Legal costs would be more than the parts are worth

[young pecan]

So I used the power of Right to Repair (eventually) and fixed it myself. :P

Had to take a sensor pad out and replace it.

Required some cable fuckaround, the only reason I managed to do it was Marketplace having a for parts sale.

Ripped the bin sensor out and replaced it.

A rando pad sensor.

[reef tundra]

Sensor that senses things

[young pecan]

Not super certain which one it is specifically.

But it does sense things, yes.

Found a broken cleaning head and I took a functioning one out.

Cost me $20 for what amounts to a $130 part. :)

[reef tundra]

I dunno, google the serial codes on the parts?

The part that senses things

[young pecan]

Locke, the cleaning head has a sensor for checking how full the bin is.

I had to take the sensor out and replace it with one from a functioning model.

shrugs Idk.

I just swapped the component.

Maybe a few grams?

[reef tundra]

Go ask roomba if you need to know

[young pecan]

You know I don't actually know the schematics off by heart?

[solemn compass]

lol

[young pecan]

Idk, could be infrared, could be something else.

I didn't need to know what it was, 4head.

I had 2 cleaning heads, one of which had a functioning sensor.

I simply pulled one out and put it in the other.

And thus had one working cleaning head.

[reef tundra]

If it has the same sku it should work fine, unless the manufacturer is being a dick

[young pecan]

I should also specify I never asked for a replacement part.

All I did was report issues with the model and the next message I got was an AusPost tracking number.

They didn't even ask for pics or verification.

Ebay tho.

[reef tundra]

Atleast they have decent costumer service 🤷‍♂️

[young pecan]

I mean... there's that.

[solemn compass]

if you didn't fix it, they would've send a third one i guess lol

[young pecan]

They haven't responded to my recent message.

[reef tundra]

Oh Ebay.... I know why they went out of their way to please you

[young pecan]

So maybe they will.

[reef tundra]

One bad review can break their profitability for the week

[young pecan]

Oh?

[reef tundra]

Same with Amazon. If you are not the top few results, preferably the top result you are getting little to no traffic. To be on that top, reviews from customers are a big factor in that calculations. One bad review usually means you need 20 positive reviews to balance that out again.

From a few people that did formerly business on those kinds of sites, they all told the same thing. Shit margins, bad reviews are really bad, don't ever begin. I had many requests to leave a false positive review for like 10 to 20 eur.

[old marlin]

I hope that is not real

IHS looks way too thick

or is it stacked already?

[cursive summit]

Videocardz reported on it

[old marlin]

[young pecan]

Could be a matter of the dies just being tall bois.

[old marlin]

although

tall die could make sense ig

[young pecan]

shrugs

[old marlin]

spreads heat better

[young pecan]

Much lower in size and you run into quantum mechanics.

[reef tundra]

If it does the NOPs im happy

[young pecan]

The next thing that makes sense is scaling dies to be bigger.

[old marlin]

for non-monolithic dies they might be better

well die is not ihs

[young pecan]

Obviously.

But bigger dies will be taller off the board as well as wider.

And wide dies don't make a heap of sense outside of TR, and we already know that design there isn't working with closer clustered dies.

TR already had warping issues with lower power components.

Ergo dies are likely taller.

[reef tundra]

For thermal performance you want surface area to be as large is possible

[young pecan]

Mhmm, and when your dies are so hot that it warps the IHS it's not a good idea.

[hard thicket]

warping the IHS ? you cant even cause that much heat without the safety features going off

[young pecan]

Over time.

Very slow warping.

[reef tundra]

Doubt it would be possible, almost all semiconductors have thermal runaway protection. At least everything from voltage regulators to mosfets.

[young pecan]

It's like flection based damage in phones.

[reef tundra]

You mean like delamination?

[young pecan]

Kinda.

[hard thicket]

highly doubt it, copper can easily handle 200ish celsius without giving a fuck

[young pecan]

You do know that metals don't work like that?

[hard thicket]

i work in the metal industry.

[young pecan]

Yes, copper can handle 200c, but slow change over time causes very small problems.

Unfortunately it's an issue with CPUs at year type scales.

AMD already had to contend with it for original TR.

[reef tundra]

You mean as the material expands and shrinks?

[young pecan]

Kinda.

That and another thing, I'll need to check OG TR details again.

But I remember it being a problem.

[reef tundra]

You could check to see if it passes bios. Given you have enough parts to pass the initial test.

🤦‍♀️ Someone got a DMCA notice from their ISP about torrenting an Ubuntu ISO

[reef patrol]

I mean if the ISP doesn't allow for the bittorrent protocol... doesn't matter what you transfer 😄

[reef tundra]

Without the copyright owner submitting the DMCA notice first?

[wheat plume]

the copyright owner was opsec
Later they said these are false claims and someone sent them out to tarnish opsec's reputation

[reef patrol]

Oh right. DMCA. I am derp.

[ashen spindle]

is opsec an isp?

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

the ISP was comcast in this context and the copyright claim was from opsec

[ashen spindle]

so the claim did not come from the isp, got it

[wheat plume]

the ISP sent the DMCA email

[reef patrol]

Yeah they're just the messengers.

[reef tundra]

Well, they should demand to see the DMCA notices and sue them for impersonation/trademark/etc

from the ISP

[ashen spindle]

yea no shit they send it, how is opsec supposed to know your info to send it to

[reef tundra]

The ISP should just be the messenger in the situation. They receive notice, they pass along

[wheat plume]

Yeh

they were

[ashen spindle]

then dont say it in a way that looks like the isp made the claim 😛

[wheat plume]

well, they did get the notice from them

[reef patrol]

Yep. Always will. Like how Youtube would, not the holder directly.

[reef tundra]

Rarely will companies/ISPs counter the DMCA notices as they become liable aswell losing their safe harbour status

[reef patrol]

Yep. It's an ass backwards law 😄

Based on a dead era where only TV stations were a thing and had lawyers.

[reef tundra]

Yup, where the norm was that lawyers handled that part

[fair gull]

building new pc for customer

gets a ryzen 7 5800x

[ashen spindle]

and a gt 1030?

[cursive summit]

Torrenting in general is illegal in the U.S?

[reef patrol]

Nope.

[reef tundra]

Torrenting is legal, sharing copyrighted content without proper licence is

[fair gull]

na an rx 5500xt

i think

he already got that

but didnt have the money for the rest of the sff build yet

better than nothing in my book

[reef tundra]

How are corsair psu in reliability?

[fair gull]

i only use corsair and bequiet in customer builds

never had an issue or rma

and ive been doing this for a solid 7yrs

8yrs

smth around that time

[reef tundra]

So to your experience they work fine and should do their job for a long time?

[fair gull]

from my experience yes

this one is very oversized for the job tho

could prob easily go with 200w less

[reef patrol]

For sure.

Used to run a 9900K and a 2080 on a 650W xD

[fair gull]

maybe even 300

[reef patrol]

A Titanium one admittedly but...

But in these times whatever PSU you can get is... whatever you get.

[fair gull]

im not to worried since the guy is constantly adding shit to his build anyway

in a few weeks he prob calls and wants to switch gpu again

wouldnt surprise me

altho idk what devil rode me to put a slightly modified 5500xt into his prebuilt hp

the fanshroud of his gpu saw 1 or 2 dremels already

[reef tundra]

Good to know, I'm pretty paranoid when it comes to choosing power supplies in general. All I know is to not go cheap with them, they might take more shit to the grave than themselves when they fail. If not outright catch fire. Tend to avoid brands that market themselves as gaming, especially.

[fair gull]

eh in my experience corsair and bequiet are rather reputable for psus since pmuch all their psus have at least 80plus bronze rating so if anything its people going way over the limits

if it says 550w and has 80+ silver or smth it def wont deliver full 550w

so u usually choose the right head room for expanding without replacing the cpu and plan in some extra useable watts in case u need more

the most worrying part for me is sff case and the liquid cooler

never did sff and never used that liquid cooler

but from reviews both are rather good

[reef tundra]

Looked through the emails and currently my machine is running with a Be quiet! PURE POWER 11 700W CM.

[fair gull]

partially modular i like that

[reef tundra]

Whatever cables are still unused will just be hidden away and out of sight, hehe

[fair gull]

if its modular u shouldnt have unused cables

[reef tundra]

Dont have any lighting in my machine

Dont remember exactly but any cables that were not used up went into the box where the mobo came in.

[fair gull]

thats how most people do it ya

usually the most spacious box

[zenith sonnet]

When choosing PSUs I also look at things like ripple and clean output

[reef tundra]

• performance is dependant on the load

[zenith sonnet]

So I went with a Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium unit

But 750W might be too small for a 6900 XT

[fair gull]

got another qt back to put in the ll120 fans

[reef tundra]

50 to 80% of the rated load

[zenith sonnet]

But I could not get the 850W unit at the time

[fair gull]

o11 dynamic razer edition

ngl the box does look dope

the razer emblem on the front panel glass not so much

[old marlin]

lol

[timid chasm]

Jesus what's the fucking power draw on a 6900 xt

[zenith sonnet]

Average ~ 300W at most
But it peaks at 620W for a few milliseconds

[timid chasm]

holy shit

[fair gull]

inrush?

or randomly

[zenith sonnet]

Inrush, I believe

[fair gull]

phew

randomly would have been worrying

but inrush makes kind of sense

[timid chasm]

I won't tell you all what I'm using to run the 3090 😂 . We'll just see if it survives

[zenith sonnet]

The card, or the supply, or both?

[timid chasm]

I mean I won't mention the PSU behind it

[zenith sonnet]

Yes

[timid chasm]

If something* dies I'll come clean though

[ashen spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/samer068new-lasagna-cheese-gif-12474671

[fair gull]

id guess since its a prebuilt it uses an hp brand psu from some cheap chinese manufacturer

ir was it dell

eh they all use more or less the same anyway

not always 80plus and if 80plus just barely

[cursive summit]

Ah yes my favourite most overused word

"Woke"

[crisp granite]

I love how this person feels a need to call out apple for something literally every major international corporation does

find the cheapest labour, parts, etc. to do the job

[wheat plume]

Yes, but the length Apple go to, to continue making that happen is far beyond every one else :/

[crisp granite]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

have you ever considered

that this might be a biased source?

[open dagger]

Except Apple is always playing the "but we dont know" card

[wheat plume]

^

[wheat plume]

He has shit talked Google / Facebook way more than Apple

so no

not biased

[open dagger]

And they are big enough to place employees to watch worker conditions at contractors

[crisp granite]

but that would be a needless expense

[open dagger]

In fact they already do that

[crisp granite]

that doesn't actually address if they're biased or not

it can be bias against the industry as a whole

[open dagger]

I recommend Louis Rossmann on that topic

[crisp granite]

and I generally take every bit of info on youtube with about 3 heaping tablespoons of salt

or anywhere really

[open dagger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeEERdbfH0c

you can also look at his sources on that

[reef tundra]

Louis Rossmann biggest issue is talking too much :)

[crisp granite]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm gonna sound like an ass here

[open dagger]

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/violence-breaks-out-at-wistron-corps-iphone-manufacturing-plant-near-bengaluru/articleshow/79691511.cms

[crisp granite]

but this is gonna happen either way, and people will get angry

so...

why bother fighting?

[open dagger]

samsung isnt better but defending apple in this is like bruh

[old marlin]

[reef tundra]

Apple did have the money to setup anti suicide nets around their foxxcon facilities :)

[zenith sonnet]

So, what I don't understand
The people complain about pay, but why not apply for a job somewhere else where you feel the pay is adequate?

[crisp granite]

not defending, merely pointing out that anyone would go out of their way to source cheap labour for unskilled jobs

[open dagger]

very american (western) viewpoint

[crisp granite]

very normal viewpoint tbh

not like turkey where getting a job before you're 30 is insane

[old marlin]

Ok

Other jobs that are available are probably prostitution or life threatening jobs in some chemical plant

[open dagger]

basically

[ashen spindle]

why bother fighting? because if you dont then it will get worse and worse and it's not the case that it doesn't cause any change

[old marlin]

I mean

[reef tundra]

Megacorps as Apple are usually the only one that offers a job. The rest are driven out of business by practices as intentionally driving a loss for years to undercut competition, forcing anti-compete contracts, possible bribing some law officials

[old marlin]

Arguing with "why bother fighting" is applicable everywhere

Why not give me all your money, with entropy it does not matter what you do

[old marlin]

Modern banana republics

[zenith sonnet]

So, they should fight the government for better regulation

[open dagger]

Its generally not good if a company engages with contractors who don't pay their employees

knowingly

[crisp granite]

so, your job choices are

1. work for apple, shit pay
   or 2. run a business to provide for the apple workers, and get so little, even compared to them

[old marlin]

With old banana republics it was a military dictatorship

[crisp granite]

seems like apple is the best bet

[old marlin]

Expect something similar here

[open dagger]

its not shit pay, its no pay. That happened

[old marlin]

Except that apple is probably also the sole importer for life necessities

[reef tundra]

Try.. in the US companies~ lobbiests are able to get laws into usually local governments

[old marlin]

And the pay is at best at the minimum to feed yourself and share a room with another worker or two

[open dagger]

while having insane profit margins

[old marlin]

They didn't end up being the richest for nothing

[open dagger]

But it makes sense from a business perspective 🤣

[old marlin]

Well yea

[crisp granite]

which is what they care about

what their shareholders care about

[old marlin]

And the average person has little enough morals to still buy them

[open dagger]

thats why its important to fight against it

[old marlin]

Byt hey at least you cna defend them with "why are they even complaining it is inevitable"

[reef tundra]

Because they own the company they can do whatever they want to

[old marlin]

[reef tundra]

workers can pound sand

[open dagger]

the same way its important to fight for the right to own (repair) your products

[crisp granite]

then you do you, I'll not buy them just because they're damn expensive for what they are, slave labour or not

[open dagger]

there are plenty reasons I don't buy their products

[reef tundra]

Doesnt an iphone cost like 300 to make?

[solar hinge]

if i'm not mistaken, that video was about the company stating you will x amount and after 3 months they weren't even getting 1/5th of x amount

becuase of "economic reasons"

while bosses got massive millions in bonuses

[reef tundra]

"Employers are the largest thieves in society."

[chrome estuary]

Welcome to the modern age.

[open dagger]

not all but many

[crisp granite]

nah, most are kinda chill, the worst just take advantage of those in tight spots

[reef tundra]

Its not that uncommon some employer just refuses to pay the staff or under declares the hours.

[crisp granite]

labour laws in western countries protect against that

we're shielded from that

[ashen spindle]

[reef tundra]

Yea, like they wont take advantage of peoples ignorance

[crisp granite]

well shit, the laws don't protect people from their own stupidity

[chrome estuary]

The company I work for was pretty good until the owner and creator passed away. Then his wife and kid took over and it's kinda gone to shit. I mean it's still a massive international company but around here it feels like they're running off the feeling of, "Yeah it's a great place to work for." from when the original owner was alive... Now it's bad.

[reef tundra]

Well not everyone knows the contract, tax code and legal code from back to front

[crisp granite]

but it never hurts to crack them open once in a while and read up

[chrome estuary]

Cause most people you talk to around here will say, "Yeah isn't it a great place to work?" because they heard about it from people who worked there something like 9 years ago before the original owner died.

[reef tundra]

My advice is for everyone to join a union and double check with them regularly what the boss claims to be the law

[crisp granite]

isn't that common sense?

[reef tundra]

US, especially the companies, are actively union busting

See, amazon

[chrome estuary]

Amazon is Apple but in the US

wage cage, the new fucking "Mental Integrity" box thing.

They've also got the same issue my place does. Your break starts and the first place you can actually take your break is a 5+ minute walk away. So you get there and go to relax and then you have to rush back to your work space because it's another 5+ min walk back

[crisp granite]

if it's in a large facility, that's to be expected tbh

[chrome estuary]

yeah but the problem is they keep adding complications and don't account for them in the break and lunch times.

We get 2 20min paid breaks and 1 30min paid lunch.
We get 5 minutes to get in and out of the gowning room (I work in a clean room).
Now we can only have 10 people in the gowning room at once, people will forget to fob in and fob out, they'll just blatantly ignore it, etc etc.

So to get to the cafeteria... It's a 3-5 minute walk there, not to include the fact you've probably already waited 2-3 minutes to simply get into the gowning room. Then however long it takes to get your lunch and eat it before the 3-5 minute walk back. Then the 3-5 minute wait to get into the gowning room plus however long it takes you to get gowned up, wash your hands, and get back to your work space.

[crisp granite]

wtf

so

a good portion of your breaks is simply getting in and out of the cleanroom

[chrome estuary]

yep

[open dagger]

atleast its paid tho

[chrome estuary]

shit i meant unpaid lunch

i don't know why i wrote paid

but yeah the breaks are paid

[fickle ore]

yeah those terms sounded good..

[chrome estuary]

but when you spend a part of your break simply waiting for it to get started

[crisp granite]

I mean...I would say "eat in the cleanroom" but that is just a really bad idea

[chrome estuary]

yeah funny.

[reef tundra]

I only count personal time where I dont have to think or do anything for the job to be part of my break

[chrome estuary]

Yeah we're not supposed to but I do.

I go out to my car on break. Plus I take my lunch and 2nd break together to give me a total of 55min.

I usually leave about 5min before my break actually is supposed to begin because of how long it can take to get out of the room.

[reef tundra]

Here that would be all on your own time

as an break is defined as taking a break with the intent to continue afterwards

I remember one supervisor complaining one time that I took too often or too long breaks.

Just told him to check the backlog of the day and if he had questions to ask the other supervisor

Ended that shift mostly deep cleaning the machine and roam around the factory floor

Anyone had to deal with incompetent technicians?

[reef tundra]

They give themselves an break each hour :)

Pretty good working conditions in terms of hours

i'm seriously considering snagging this

I want a gaming laptop for when i go to my buddy's place and other shit like that.

[reef tundra]

Thats pricey

[chrome estuary]

actually...

that's cheap

[reef tundra]

Not caught up much with laptop pricing but do see why it would warrant the price tag. Especially considering now.

More of a desktop for performance, laptop for typing kind of guy.

You could also get one of those external GPUs connected through usb-c.

Unless im expecting to use it daily and need that power on the go. I would find it too much to get it. But if you really want one and believe it to be the best solution to your needs. Go for it

[chrome estuary]

I'd like to upgrade my desktop's GPU (and likely will) but the issue is my desktop is way too much to carry around if i'm heading to a buddy's place for a few days. I want something powerful that I can easily pick up and go

but as we all know, getting a new GPU is practically impossible right now.

[reef tundra]

Its fine for most people

[chrome estuary]

the mobile 3060 ain't bad. I'd really like the mobile 3070 but I'm not really looking to spend 600-1000$ more on it

[timid chasm]

Nah, I put it in another PC. The dell it came in has a 1000W something or other

[cursive summit]

Honestly, those specs for that price look real good

FullHD though? I mean, it's a small screen size so the pixels will be nowhere near as pronounced as on a desktop screen

But not even QHD

But yeah top of the line CPU and a great GPU for that price, is defo worth getting

[chrome estuary]

yeah but the 3060 already has some troubles hither and thither with modern games at 1080

[cursive summit]

?

No?

[chrome estuary]

yeah

well at ultra at least

and even then

i should say, "new games" not "modern"

but that's because new games are demanding fucking 8gb vram and shit

[cursive summit]

Eh

You want too much for that price

[crisp granite]

to be fair, it's mainly the new games with ray tracing

I can't even get 60 fps with maxed settings at 1080p with my desktop 3070

gotta use DLSS for a good framerate

[reef patrol]

That's how it's always been.

New fancy tech. Not practical for years.

T&L etc...

[crisp granite]

well

hopefully I can get a 60 FPS experience with cyberpunk in the future without DLSS

DLSS just makes the game way too bright compared to without

also does some weird shit with car brake lights

[cursive summit]

Like VR?

Early VR had very niche adoption

Nowadays it's quite practical

[crisp granite]

not really

still way too expensive for most

[cursive summit]

I mean just like PC components are way too damn expensive

Even at MSRP

[crisp granite]

not really tbh

compared to 2016 levels, sure

[cursive summit]

Yes really

400$ for a good usable VR device

400$ for a good card

?

[crisp granite]

that's fair to me

that GPU is gonna see use regardless of being for VR or traditional games

for VR headsets, I could see myself using one for 2-3 games at most

[reef tundra]

Probably have to look around the xrandr documentation

https://tenor.com/view/chill-chill-out-chill-pill-calm-down-chillax-gif-21367936

[crisp granite]

true that

but

for now, it's a damn good card

and it's clear that cyberpunk just sucks in that regard

I get 100 FPS with maxed settings and no DLSS in metro exodus enhanced

[reef tundra]

Then you see something new today

[crisp granite]

I don't pay attention to playstation game listings actually

I don't have a playstation, so why bother knowing what is or is not on it

[reef tundra]

Once you publish a game you are cursed to be a game director forever?

[crisp granite]

and have it tacked to your name, forever

a ball and chain

[reef tundra]

Cbt style

[crisp granite]

true that

it is

[chrome estuary]

^

[crisp granite]

not as bad as getting a free copy of an $80 game with your dualshock

[reef tundra]

Overhype anything and it will dissapoint

[crisp granite]

a game so bad that they had to give it away to clear stock

and I actually payed $80 to preorder it

fallout 76

the fallout of the launch was insane

[reef tundra]

Water is not going to spontaniously combust and make a fire no matter how hyped you get

[crisp granite]

actually

probably possible

with an additive

and waving some fuego over it

not on it's own tho

[reef tundra]

Water is the product of fully oxidising hydrogen

[chrome estuary]

I played some of 76 AFTER the wasteland update

it wasn't bad

[crisp granite]

I played before and after

[chrome estuary]

wasn't good

[crisp granite]

the update added 5 hours of time wasting

which is sad considering that's all the game's content

[reef tundra]

Players will act as the NPC!

[crisp granite]

I refuse to play the main "story" of fallout 76

it's nothing more than picking up holotapes around the map

[crisp granite]

that's an issue when someone is acting as a vendor and selling .38 ammo for 5 caps a piece

🙄

one cap a shot, take it or leave it

[chrome estuary]

The only time i've seen "Players are the NPCs" work is in something like SS13 where every job is a person

[crisp granite]

I'll pay 2 caps a shot for 2mm EC

that's it

[reef tundra]

the only interaction you get is, people ignoring you. looking at you and walking off. Or telling your base is about to get nuked and you should come if you want to press the button.

Typical wasteland things

[chrome estuary]

yeah i didn't think about that

[crisp granite]

ngl, that's what I did

I had to use a nuke

so I nuked the fucker selling .38 ammo for 5 caps a shot

and that was completing the main story

[chrome estuary]

but the only thing i ever did on altis or city or any of the other spin offs was play with some buddies as drug runners and other various illegal jobs

[reef tundra]

.38 for 5 caps?

[crisp granite]

yes

that's criminal

[cursive summit]

So

[crisp granite]

that doesn't even happen in fallout 4

[cursive summit]

Why in #🔌│tech and not #🎮│game

[reef tundra]

imma give him 5 caps for 30 .38 rounds

[chrome estuary]

we were talking about tech

and it related to gaming tech

and then kinda merged to gaming

[crisp granite]

you can't, one unit requires a minimum price of one cap

so the least you can pay is one cap for one shot

[chrome estuary]

which is kinda stupid

[cursive summit]

Dunno about that second statement chief

[true quest]

games are tech

[reef tundra]

Thats just poopy. .38 is the poor mans .45

[cursive summit]

Thank god nobody actually talks about AC in game talk

I'd seppuku myself

[crisp granite]

I buy .50 BMG for my M2, .50 Musket balls for my quad barreled noob tube, and 2mm EC for my gauss rifle

jk

I just make my own ammo

no way I'm paying 1 cap for something I can make a hundred of from some garden supplies and lab equipment

[reef tundra]

Actually. You can just make all the ammo?

[crisp granite]

yep

and sell them for 1 cap a piece

being a good role model

btw, .50 BMG, only 1 cap a shot, bulk orders are possible

[reef tundra]

Is there anything to do in fallout 76 other than exploring the map

[crisp granite]

make and sell ammo

stonks

[reef tundra]

I wonder how you get all that gunpowder from

[crisp granite]

make it

[reef tundra]

Would be highly unwise to make high powered rounds with unreliable powder

[crisp granite]

it's not realistic

it's fallout

[reef tundra]

I know, as realistic as just rerifling your barrel

[crisp granite]

my handmade .50 BMG made from old lab equipment and fertilizers is indistinguishable from military rounds

so...

gonna buy?

[reef tundra]

Imma take the mgr

and the kalash

[crisp granite]

or

a gauss rifle

because gauss rifles are pog

[crisp granite]

bruh

the new switch

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqAYMx34euU 4am EU time fuck me

[crisp granite]

gotta wonder two things

1. will it be worth buying over the old switch?
2. will that fucker be in stock?

[cursive summit]

So, according to a few industry insiders

We SHOULD see the reveal on Thursday

But as always "Might be delayed like it has been multiple times now"

[true quest]

if it doesn't drift i don't want it

[crisp granite]

I want the switch to actually interest me

because the games on it that do interest me are already in my steam library

I mean wolfenstein, the outer worlds, metro redux

all on my steam library already and a better experience on it over a switch

if they made a new kirby game, I'd totally buy it, no questions asked

like the actual level based platfomers

not the brawl games

[cursive summit]

Lads

I can confirm

It's real

Fuck they dropped the Super Switch branding

Well they are gearing for launch

It better be on thursday

We know pretty much everything new hardware-wise about the console

The software changes will be interesting though

[crisp granite]

nah

they could do worse than "pro"

which is code for "same hardware, but more expensive" at least for apple

[zenith sonnet]

Something to read up when I get home

[wheat plume]

Well
Bigger screen
But yeh that's true

[reef tundra]

Pro to me just means overpriced because cooperate will buy it anyway.

[cursive summit]

Eh

A lot of money, but not that a lot

Then again, it's an investment, not a purchase

[reef tundra]

You would rather have the hip and modern one with all the wacky effects?

[cursive summit]

Uhh what

In a deleted press release, Xbox said this:
"The Xbox Series X|S have been Dolby Atmos compatible since their release and Dolby Vision will arrive on these consoles in 2021, both technologies will remain exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem for two years."

Taken from this https://news.xbox.com/fr-fr/2021/05/31/decouvrez-dolby-vision-et-dolby-atmos/

Aren't both of these technologies already released?

What exactly is going on with this "exclusivity", what was once not exclusive be exclusive?

[reef tundra]

Isnt dolby atmos also available for windows?

I think marketing made something up and ran with it

to the sun

[vapid zodiac]

like every marketing dept ever

[reef tundra]

Ignoring all warnings

Even the chief calling them would not stop them

Dolby vision seems exclusive just pay the royalties of like 3 dollars per tv

[cursive summit]

Dunno my LG CX has both Vision and Atmos

I used to have Atmos pre-installed on my 2016 laptop

So I really got no clue why is an old technology becoming exclusive

[reef tundra]

Also, xbox is running on windows in the backend.

Some madlad made a virus to make him lactose tolerant again, well atleast as long as the bacteria dont all die out

[crisp granite]

hm

very possible

considering that was truly the worst period of my life

10-12,13ish

[reef tundra]

Lactose is hard to process for the body. It doesnt like to break down easily

Stress does weaken the immune system

either causing it to go overboard or do fuck all

[crisp granite]

yep

started getting nasty ass sneezing fits whenever I walked near freshly cut grass as well

around the age of 11 iirc

still start sneezing and feeling awful if I get too close

[reef tundra]

I developed an odd allergic/just odd thing that my eyes would water suddenly around autumn

Just appeared in my teens and continued for a few years

stopped and never came back

[reef tundra]

poopy

[reef tundra]

Also that website name just gives me vibes its selling human slaves

[reef tundra]

Then im going to flex that im running RISC-V for free on my fpga.

[zenith sonnet]

I'm ready, Mama Su

[reef tundra]

Bruh, he want to be flexxed on by Su. Good on ya mate

[zenith sonnet]

I'm not actually looking forward to having a reason to upgrade my CPU again, though

[reef tundra]

But what if Lisa Su will sit on you?

[zenith sonnet]

Fucking AGESA 1.2.0.2 BIOSes are still not ready

Haven't even tuned this thing yet

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/tuning-guitar-tuning-tune-up-fixing-guitar-foy-vance-gif-14408123

Maybe this will help with the lack of tuning

I like to say clear from bios, I will fuck it up and I will kill it with a screwdriver

[young pecan]

Oh?

...

How much cache does one even need for gaming?

Pretty sure we’ve reached the point of diminishing returns.

At least on DDR4 and unoptimised programming.

[zenith sonnet]

I'm pretty sure Ryzen is just about touching the sweet spot

[young pecan]

^

Take a 3950X, that has 64 megabytes or cache.

That’s... that’s a lot of cache, even for 16 cores.

[astral haven]

3950x has 16mb of cache

x4

not 64mb

the difference is massive between the two

[young pecan]

I am aware the cache is split between dies, yes.

But core for core there's still a monstrous amount of cache in there, even when you include the whole CCX thing.

[zenith sonnet]

FSR is here
Now I want screenshot comparisons
And try it out myself

[young pecan]

And this is for AM5, we think?

Assuming the earlier render is correct it'd explain, at least in part, why the IHS was so tall.

[young pecan]

Mmmm, that is interesting.
