[quartz kayak]

idk

probably me tbh

yeah if i go on bios it shows the boot drive as that one

should i just bring it to the store

thing is i dont have a win 11 drive

nor a 10

i do

idk

doubt i have a 60gb one

16

oh yeah

idk where it is

wait

i ll go find it

[jade pivot]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

option 2, create usb media

[quartz kayak]

hows this possible

i dont have one single one at home

my mom aparently took mine

to work

[jade pivot]

[quartz kayak]

we will come back for this later

[jade pivot]

understand that a clean w11 install will remove anything on the drive

[quartz kayak]

i know

not that dumb

only a lil

[jade pivot]

i didnt imply that

[quartz kayak]

[jade pivot]

but installing is pretty straightforward

[quartz kayak]

i know

i ve done it on win 10

[jade pivot]

and dont delete random partitions on your disk

[quartz kayak]

it just asks language and to wait and some other stuff

[jade pivot]

[quartz kayak]

i dont even remember doing that

it might have to do with the fact that im using my laptops os

because i mirrored it

because i lost this one like 3 times

[jade pivot]

there is a recovery partition for something on one of the other disks

disk 0 looks like an OS install

[quartz kayak]

i will wipe everything out

when i have the pen

so it don matter

[jade pivot]

might as well get all the required drivers now, if you're that bored

[quartz kayak]

i totally forgot that drivers were a thing

thats gonna be annoying

atleast i use normal hardware

[jade pivot]

i can't find my thermalpaste

overrated

i snacked a 3060 ti for 200 something, should be fine for this pc

gonna build a new pc end of the year or sth

no point in buying a 6900 now

[twin badger]

Just dont

Windows 10 better

I have not bothered upgrading to windows 11

[quartz kayak]

windows 10 starting to feel like the same thing

also

my partitions are apparently a mess

[jade pivot]

well, it works

you just can't do an upgrade install

[twin badger]

Wdym like the same thing?

[quartz kayak]

been using it for like 4 years and its getting repetitive

[quartz kayak]

i have some

and pads

i still need to repad my ps4pro

too lazy for it

[jade pivot]

my ps4 pro with SSD is

[twin badger]

Forgot women are into aesthetics so much

For me, if it works it works

[quartz kayak]

its not even the aesthetics, its really just the os

i can probably make windows 10 look better than windows 11

[twin badger]

And how is windows 11 not gonna be repetitive?

[quartz kayak]

use de brain and think

its basically windows 10 reworked

THINK

BRAIn

[twin badger]

And what aspect is "reworked" exactly?

[quartz kayak]

BRRRR

[twin badger]

The bugginess is enhanced

Thats the only rework i can think of

Oh and something about HDR

[quartz kayak]

i heard that using win 11 is basically the same as wind 10 so meh

bug wise

and performance wise

[twin badger]

You heard

[quartz kayak]

its probably true

[twin badger]

I am good for now

[jade pivot]

w11 does offer some performance improvements over win10

nothing that makes the upgrade mandatory tho

[twin badger]

Also, if i were to actually upgrade, would it affect any of my files?

[jade pivot]

if you do an inplace upgrade, no

[quartz kayak]

mine does

[twin badger]

Skill issue

L

[jade pivot]

it'll keep installed apps etc

[twin badger]

Well thats good

[jade pivot]

you could also roll back in a certain period

[twin badger]

But idk, i am still gonna stay with windows 10 for now

And if we are speaking about aesthetics, i find windows 11 to be ugly

[jade pivot]

you have until end of 25, so eh

[twin badger]

Enough time for me

I mean cmon

Theres still people on windows 7

Or god forbid, xp

Discord doesnt even work on XP

[jade pivot]

if you wanna collect all the viruses, why not

[twin badger]

Or you know, you could not be a complete dumbass when downloading and installing stuff

[jade pivot]

but good luck getting current drivers or games

[quartz kayak]

windows xp runs minecraft and thats all i need

im downgrading

[twin badger]

Based

[quartz kayak]

[snow rover]

will a dx12 gpu work with xp

[jade pivot]

it will run on older dx

xp is what, dx9?

i remember that vista was a big deal because dx11 or sth

or was it 10

idk

[snow rover]

so no arc

[jade pivot]

stuff like vulkan is only 10 and up

might as well go linux with amd cards because of the official support

[nova steppe]

Like most of the US government?

[jade pivot]

damn, the 3060 ti i got for 240 was originally bought for 770

gpu prices were whack

[junior flax]

770...

that's crazy

icl

[quartz kayak]

Bought my 2060oc for 400 back in the day

[twin badger]

L

[jade pivot]

that card still goes for around 280 atm

[warm kettle]

Unlimited Storage

[twin badger]

bullshit

its not worth that

[jade pivot]

didn't say it was worth it

[twin badger]

It doesnt even go for that much

[jade pivot]

[twin badger]

Anyone can put a bullshit ass price for a card

what you should be looking at is what it sells for

not what its listed for

I can guarantee its not 290 on average lmfao

[junior flax]

I got my 2080 super for 330 lol

[charred otter]

is there some sort of program i can see where all my storage space is going to?

[cold elbow]

Yup

I use hdtune but there are much better and faster apps
Wait for others to mention them

[lost fossil]

wiztree

[jade pivot]

treesize free edition

[charred otter]

[wispy mesa]

ive had better luck with windirstat free, no adverts, and a graphical view so you can see, larger files taking up space such as videos, etc

[arctic yarrow]

That looks about right.

[charred otter]

unistalled ark and red dead and it looks like this now

[spiral jasper]

Buy it

[nova steppe]

yeah, i use WinDirStat as well. Just being able to see the blocks is a big help

[lost fossil]

i also used to use windirstat

sure wiztree has a big paypal button but it scans the whole drive in like 3 seconds

it also shows a graphical view

[twin badger]

I personally use WinDirStat

Although its a bit slow

[spiral jasper]

Is there any difference in performance between the Arctic P12 and the Arctic P12 silent

[snow rover]

yes

[spiral jasper]

Which is better then?

[snow rover]

define "better"

[spiral jasper]

Better cooling

[snow rover]

the normal ones

[twin badger]

Well, shouldn't the name difference imply anything?

[junior flax]

ye but the silent could be like upgraded version

[twin badger]

Yes, upgraded in sense of being quieter

[snow rover]

they spin slower

🤯

[twin badger]

wait what

[spiral jasper]

I meant performance as in cooling

It's obvious which one is quieter

And locked in 1050rpm

[spiral jasper]

Fans tend to be quieter when they turn slower

[twin badger]

I dont think they are gonna be any different

[spiral jasper]

They are

Very

Slient ones don't cool nearly as much

[spiral jasper]

.

Normals ones can get from 200-1800 rpm

[tardy vortex]

What do yall think is better the Logitech z150 or z200??

[jade pivot]

eww speakers

the z200, more expensive must mean better

[tardy vortex]

Can i aks why the response 'eww'

Ik qurious as of I am new to gaming setups

[jade pivot]

usually people use headsets

[tardy vortex]

That is true but I am looking for something wich I can also use with friends as speakers I cna use so my friend can hear the sound

[jade pivot]

if i were to go for speakers, i'd look at some 5+1 or 2+1 setups

[tardy vortex]

What are those?

[jade pivot]

surround sound

but if it's just for the occasion, those should be fine i guess

[tardy vortex]

Is surround sound more expensive and what does it mean?

[jade pivot]

yes, it's more expensive

surround has more speakers and a subwoofer

to simulate all directions

[tardy vortex]

Ah yes I see now

I think it's out of my budget so a 2 set speaker is the better choice

[jade pivot]

might snack better setups used tho

not much breakable stuff in speakers

[tardy vortex]

Well thank you for your help!

[snow rover]

2.1 is not surround

[jade pivot]

there are 2 speaker setups that simulate surround

[snow rover]

presumably not very well

[jade pivot]

obviously not as good as a real 5,1

[tardy vortex]

I'm guessing that 5.1 is 5 speakers and a 2.1 are 2

[snow rover]

2.1 is left and right and a sub

5.1 is left and right front and rear and a sub

[jade pivot]

and center

[snow rover]

center channels are so garbage i forgot

[tardy vortex]

Nice to know, thank you!

[jade pivot]

and 7.1 is rich people stuff

[tardy vortex]

Like 5.1 isn't expensive-

[snow rover]

office depot has the Kanto TUKs for a really good price

nice little active speakers

[jade pivot]

PC cases are a scam, i'm running a mainboard floating on two wooden bricks

[wispy mesa]

Aud

[fervent granite]

I like how they call it “pre owned” instead of used as if that makes it any better

[cold elbow]

Only gaming laptop i respect

[tardy vortex]

i got a question, so my local gaming store 'gamemania' also buys up old games and resells them as used. how are used games worth less? i can like remove the save files on them and its good as new right?

[jade pivot]

[twin badger]

They are used

Theres bound to be some signs of wear on practically anything used

[tardy vortex]

yes but if you wipe the save files it will be just as good expect some scrathes or something on the case etc

[twin badger]

At that point its used

And you cannot just sell it as new

That would be false marketing

[tardy vortex]

but it doesnt affect the gameplay when you buy a used game right?

[twin badger]

Sure, but that doesnt mean the price will stay the same

[jade pivot]

a car with 20k miles still drives the same as a new one, doesn't mean you can ask for full price

[twin badger]

Exactly

[snow rover]

depends on the car

[jade pivot]

you're right

i wouldn't buy a clown car with 20k miles, they really deteriorate fast

[lost fossil]

used disc games can't be sold as new because you have no idea what kinds of torture some people do to their game discs

[snow rover]

has anyone tried making pcie power cables

i am not paying 60€ for 3 cables from cablemod

[rose yacht]

its better to buy than to diy

if you were to diy, you could fry your componets

[snow rover]

so true!

[rose yacht]

and thats a mistake not worth taking

[snow rover]

luckily a thing known as a multimeter exists

[cold elbow]

Buy something from another brand

[snow rover]

which is?

[cold elbow]

Idk
I searched for custom cables on the internet

Or extentions

[snow rover]

i don't want extensions

[cold elbow]

Then use the first option

[snow rover]

none of these are cheaper than cablemod

[jade pivot]

buy them used?

[snow rover]

not a thing that comes up for sale very often

[jade pivot]

you buy some old psu with the cables included

[snow rover]

and?

[jade pivot]

you take the cables and throw the psu away

or something

[snow rover]

i specifically want to get rid of these clunky ass stock cables with pigtails

[jade pivot]

pigtails?

[jade pivot]

you're talking about the extra connector?

[snow rover]

yes, the pigtail

[jade pivot]

just pull it off?

[snow rover]

from where?

[jade pivot]

from where it comes out of the first connector

[snow rover]

the wires are crimped

you can't just disassemble them non-destructively

[jade pivot]

you can push out the connector with a needle or small screwdriver

[snow rover]

two wires are crimped onto one of these

[jade pivot]

that's two bent metalflaps holding a wire, where exactly is the issue

[snow rover]

taking them apart and putting them together without the appropriate crimping tool without destroying anything

[jade pivot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPde711JiAI

here's the specialized tool to push out the connector...

and a small screwdriver etc to open the connector enough to pull out the wire

done

[snow rover]

yes, pushing out the pin is easy

[jade pivot]

could just cut off the second wire at the connector and leave it at that

[snow rover]

sure, but i would rather buy or make a new set rather than permanently mutilate an existing one

[jade pivot]

that's 20 bucks for a nonissue you might not even see if you ziptie and stuff the cable

[snow rover]

stuff these where

[jade pivot]

oh right, you dont have case yet

[snow rover]

i do, the gpu just doesn't fit inside

which is a problem that a dremel could solve

but i'd rather not

[jade pivot]

didnt you buy a new case?

[snow rover]

too indecisive

[jade pivot]

stupid question

are those seperate cables all connected at the first connectors going into the gpu?

[snow rover]

yes

[jade pivot]

are you afraid of a cable melting if you just use one?

or are you lacking the connectors

[snow rover]

if you use the pigtails you're drawing twice the current from one connector on the psu side

[jade pivot]

and?

[snow rover]

i haven't done the meth but it might go over the specified maximum

either way i'm not going to use them when i can just use 3 separate cables

[jade pivot]

i'm pretty sure they're rated for that draw

would solve your floating cable issue

[lost fossil]

even 2 8pin can supply that much current, it'll be fine

[snow rover]

well it still doesn't solve the issue because the gpu has 3 connectors and 2 cables have 4

[lost fossil]

if you route the cables up and over the gpu, then the extra connector can be hidden neatly until you decide to spend 60 on cablemod cables

[snow rover]

or about 20 on not cablemod cables

[lost fossil]

do it

[snow rover]

idk they're probably just fine but something about the cheapest aliexpress cables with a very expensive gpu doesn't feel right lmao

[lost fossil]

it was only very expensive in 2021

now it's just regular expensive

[mild relic]

sm1 help me with ma sparx ples

[snow rover]

hmm

i wonder what the price was in 2021

[lost fossil]

right, it's the 6900 xt custom

forgor that it was released later

[snow rover]

more power

because higher power draw = better

[jade pivot]

worst case you'll have a nice lightshow on your table

[rose yacht]

fireworks but for your house!

[spiral jasper]

Heyo back from zi dead. Im trying to upgrade my laptops ssd and wondered if sequential read and write speed matter

[wispy mesa]

depends on what your plan with the drives is, just general desktop usage it can be ok to pick drives on the low side, but if you plan on gaming with large 100gb+ games then you may want a higher speed

when I upgraded to w11 it wouldn't even let me sort my audio so my output was going to my headphones

so needed a quick cheap key

[twin badger]

Which is why i am gonna hold off from updating to windows 11 just yet

Cant count how many times ive seen people complain about bugs in windows 11, which yes, are expected for a brand new OS, i am aware of that

[languid narwhal]

Guess I made the right decision of going with Win 10 when I built my computer

[jade pivot]

he's talking about being unable to change settings without a license

[rose yacht]

i'll wait till 2025 to upgrade to win 11

[junior flax]

ye..

it's a dumb decision tho I can't change settings without a license

I couldn't even fix my audio basically 😂

[twin badger]

Ok, but thats still a valid reason not to use windows 11

[jade pivot]

you're just looking for reasons to feel superior

[twin badger]

what are you waffling about?

I get it, you corrected me

big fucking deal

not gonna use it for now

Wow thats racist

[sleek reef]

i spent 3 hours installing new ram on my pc and the shit still dont work 😭

this is why console is so much better no need for all that bullshit

[lost fossil]

you must've been installing ddr5 into a ddr4 motherboard

[sleek reef]

its a long ass situation to explain but I managed to get one stick to work

i add the other and it causes boot loops

[jade pivot]

post pics of both sticks

and the mainboard

[sleek reef]

man I really gotta wrote a paragraph for this shit hold on

[jade pivot]

idk about words, i wanna see the stickers on the sticks

[cold elbow]

U know what they say in this part of the town?
Skill issue.

[sleek reef]

aight so
cpu is ryzen 3 3200g
motherboard is asrock a320m hdv r4.0
cpu supports up to 2933mhz
motherboard supports over 3200mhz
my new ram is 3200mhz 16gb and when I tried to install it the bios which is already set on default for ram so no xmp or none of that wouldn't change the ram speed to 2933 for the cpu so everytime I turned on the pc it wouldn't boot up since I'm guessing the ram was being used at 3200mhz and it ain't supported for the cpu so it wouldn't boot

[jade pivot]

i just wanna see pics of the sticks

[sleek reef]

i had to use the old ram, go into bios manually set the speed to anything lower than 2933. One ram stick worked fine when i plugged it in but the other now causes boot loops

[sleek reef]

lol but that aint gonna do nun

[jade pivot]

it does help me see if you bought the wrong sticks

[cold elbow]

Tried updating bios for start?

And everyone knows that first gen ryzen struggled with ram compatibility.

[sleek reef]

ram is gskill ripjaws v

[sleek reef]

bios is pretty updated, did it few months ago

idk why this shit is boot looping tho it should work fine

im thinking since one ram stick works i go into the bios and maybe change voltage or something to accommodate for the second ram stick

[twin badger]

Had the same shit, you basically just have to get the order right

I also spent more time installing the first 2 sticks than i would like to admit

The second pair of sticks worked right away

[twin badger]

And i have the same exact RAM

Just keep switching ram slots

Eventually it should properly boot up

With both of em

Another bs i occasionally experience is my drives not showing up in BIOS for no reason

Even with all that, PC ftw

[sleek reef]

wdym order like timing in the bios? or just switch them up in the dimm slots

I mean i only got 2 dimm slots idk if its gonna work but ill try it

rn im testing to make sure its not hardware related since ik one dimm slot and one ram stick works im testing the other individually

im testing that now

i mean its brand new fucking ram and before the upgrade i only had one stick of ram the other dimm slot was always empty

there's no way the motherboard or the ram is faulty

[sleek reef]

just tried it and no boot

now im trying the ram on the dimm slot that i know works

[wispy mesa]

set speed to 2667, put both sticks in and enjoy

[sleek reef]

yeah but i first tried to leave the stick on the second dimm slot to see if it would work

[sleek reef]

ill try that after all the tests i gotta do first i wanna see if its hardware related

[sleek reef]

afterwards ill try to swap them around like you said

[spiral jasper]

ITS HERE

[wispy mesa]

👏

[wispy mesa]

also do you have the exact memory name?

[sleek reef]

gskill ripjaws v 8x2 3200mhz

[wispy mesa]

need bit more than that

a number like F4-3200C16S-16GVK

[sleek reef]

F4-3200C16D-16GVKB

[languid narwhal]

Anyone know why my computer monitor turn off and PC fans get extremely loud? The PC stays on.

It happens occasionally

[wispy mesa]

ah ok, that memory isnt support by the motherboard ,https://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/a320m-hdv%20r4.0/index.asp#Memory

its unlikely to work

[sleek reef]

I mean all the ram in the qvl list is older ram that isn't easy to find in stores

[wispy mesa]

Yup, old motherboard its going to be like that

[sleek reef]

but why the hell does one ram stick work

[wispy mesa]

its possible just by randomness, the single stick works, but both wont, which is why the kit isnt support on the qvl

[jade pivot]

remember when i asked you yesterday for stick pics to check if they were supported

[sleek reef]

i gotta check if the old ram I had was even supported

[wispy mesa]

Also, are you sure F4-3200C16S-16GVK is correct? this shows its a single 16gb stick

Did you get 2 of this kit?

[sleek reef]

no that aint the code i said

c16d is my code

[wispy mesa]

oh it isnt, where did that code come from lmao

[sleek reef]

and 16gvkb

[wispy mesa]

Ok try 2667 speed

it should work with both sticks

hopefully

[sleek reef]

what about the voltage and timing

[wispy mesa]

leave them

[sleek reef]

aight we'll see

[wispy mesa]

hopefully it works

[sleek reef]

alright huge news

ram isn't the issue

both sticks work on the first dimm slot

idk bout the second dimm slot

you sure about leaving the timing and voltage as is? @wispy mesa

voltage is 1.35

and timing is 16 18 18 38

bruh i so want this to work im so tired of moving these ram sticks around lol

[wispy mesa]

yea, try 2666 n hope it works, if it doesnt probably out of luck

[sleek reef]

omfg its still bootlooping

only things left to check is bad dimm slot or something in the bios

otherwise im returning this shit

could it be possible that the second dimm slot is just disabled in the bios

but the pc should boot fine because theres 2 ram sticks

[lost fossil]

mobo could be bad

[sleek reef]

its almost 2 years old 😭

2nd dimm slot was always empty how tf could it be dead

[lost fossil]

see it was always dead but you never noticed because it was always empty

[sleek reef]

fuck new mobo isn't in my budget

[lost fossil]

could it be that there's some thermal paste or something in the second slot

or if cpu is not mounted properly (sounds dumb i know)

[sleek reef]

i dont see anything sus

more light on this one

but i will say this putting the ram in and removing it is a pain

i have to hold the motherboard because it needs lots of force to click

[cold elbow]

I agree

[sleek reef]

so to end this either i killed the dimm slot with all the pressure i put on it or it was dead the whole time 💀

fucking great now i gotta buy a whole new motherboard

[lost fossil]

get a used b550 or smth

[sleek reef]

lmfao i definitely killed it first time i tried to put the ram in it took 10 mins

and i heard some very unpleasant sounds from the board while tryna put it in

[jade pivot]

practice with some lego before you buy the next board

[lost fossil]

practice with lego so that you're prepared for the pain when you step on the motherboard

horsepower

[plucky raft]

Anker cable is expensive damn

[plucky raft]

Iphone

[quartz kayak]

which

[quartz kayak]

the x better the s worst

like

Ps4 slim and Ps4 Pro

the s does 1080p 30 i think and the x does like 4k 30 and 1080 60

im probably wrong but its something along those marks

[desert totem]

so s is not worth to buy?

[jade pivot]

if you can afford the x, no

[quartz kayak]

normally people only buy the s because they either have a pc or they dont really want to leave 500$ on an x

or dont have enough money

but by my friends experience the s is not even that bad

you end up getting used to the frames anyways

[desert totem]

what about between series x and ps5

[arctic yarrow]

Oleg. You are evolving from russian to american!

My weird homework setup.

Doing linux administration homework on a macbook running windows running a linux vm, while following instructions and filling out a word document from a laptop running linux.

[brave field]

I... what?

whyyyyy

[arctic yarrow]

Because that's the most convenient setup for me right now while I'm at work, and I'm super used to dual monitors.

[brave field]

makes sense

You runWindows on the macbook daily?

[arctic yarrow]

Only for the vm actually

My linux laptop has better specs than the macbook.

I just pull it out for whenever I need windows specific tasks done.

Which in this case, the VM I have to use doesn't play well with linux.

Which is a little ironic because the VM is running linux.

[jade pivot]

[brave field]

I think I'm even more confused

nice setup friend

[jade pivot]

there's so many oofs in that setup

[arctic yarrow]

I agree. This is a better setup 😛

[quartz kayak]

2nd time seeing that setup

[jade pivot]

i'd love to show my gaming setup, but my desk is a mess rn

it's a mainboard propped up on two wooden shelves

[arctic yarrow]

My desktop gaming setup is a disaster zone tbh

[jade pivot]

why not run a dedicated vm host you rdp/ssh into

like cool people do

[quartz kayak]

cool people dont exist

[warm magnet]

Would anyone boost the online trophies on ps5

[arctic yarrow]

Because this is for homework, and I'm too lazy to set up an rdp.

[arctic yarrow]

That... actually sounds very cool

I need to clean up my desk and my room before I take a picture.

[jade pivot]

it's not cool, i cba do buy a case for my old components

[arctic yarrow]

Make a case from wood.

[jade pivot]

nah, it runs fine

surprisingly no cooling issues

[fervent granite]

Funny nintendy switch

[wispy mesa]

AU right?

[sleek reef]

nah im in greece

[wispy mesa]

ah ok fair enough

[sleek reef]

im not even in athens where everything is im in some island

[wispy mesa]

ah ok yea thats not the best location for pc parts

[lost fossil]

there are a lot of gods in the area so you plenty of ways to pray for new parts

[spiral jasper]

I have all my parts....but

[oblique solstice]

You still didn't get a case? Have you given up now?

[spiral jasper]

I have no case for them

It's still shipping

[snow rover]

my case isn't coming until monday apparently

🥱

[jade pivot]

i don't care that much, it works

[snow rover]

hmm

how viable is it to buy a Chinese market phone and try to flash a European firmware on

SD 8 gen 2 for 400€ looks appealing

[fervent granite]

as long as it's actually been proven to work I don't see why not

I'd just make sure to do as much research as possible since with hacks like that you really don't know what will and won't work until it's too late

[junior flax]

bro 💀

[warm kettle]

Ordered a custom controller from Microsoft. I feel happy about it

[quartz kayak]

Got scammed

[warm kettle]

[languid narwhal]

203 for a controller is wild

[quartz kayak]

I paid like 200 for mine aswell

And tbh i would do it again

[jade pivot]

dafuq

i'm still using a 360 controller

[quartz kayak]

Mines a custom Ps4 controller

Its literally just a normal on but pastel colored

[jade pivot]

you paid 4 times the price for custom paint?

[lost fossil]

surf lvl fish iq

[quartz kayak]

No, i meant the shell

It has alot of other mods too

It has back buttons and swappable thumbsticks

Also bigger triggers

Its just like my brothers but my brothers more costumized bcs his has metal buttons thats are adjustable too

And metal triggers and stuff

[lost fossil]

but it doesn't have halo effect sticks and triggers

so waste of money

[jade pivot]

for 200 bucks i'd expect lots of RGB and a handy

[quartz kayak]

My brother is buying a mod with that we are just waiting for them to be developed by someone

That someone also made the usb c mod for the dual shock 4

We also have usb c

[jade pivot]

where's the point

[quartz kayak]

Wdym whats the point

I dont need 2 different cables for everything i can use my mouses usb c for it

[jade pivot]

[lost fossil]

https://www.youtube.com/@MariusHeier1 this dude?

[quartz kayak]

Ye

Hes rlly cool

And sympathic aswell.

He asked me if i d prefer to have rumble motors on the new halo effect board hes gonna make

Which i said yes

We ll see if he imploments them or atleast gives us soldering points yk

[cold elbow]

Pov: linux user trying to fill a word document.

Like literally matching the meme

[arctic yarrow]

I mean... librewriter exists. But yeah lol

[spiral jasper]

Rate the setup

[jade pivot]

that gpu aint gonna survive a week

[spiral jasper]

Only one way to find out

[jade pivot]

also toasty nuts

[spiral jasper]

Beer behind monitor for better cooling

[junior flax]

bro if ur balls get cold just set game to 4k

[jade pivot]

that thing is gonna heat up surfing the internet

there's zero airflow

[junior flax]

💀

it's worse then my old setup

Well idk about that

this was

horrible

[jade pivot]

getting neck pain from a picture, noice

[spiral jasper]

Man

I wish I had a old setup like that

But yes

Very bad neck pain

[jade pivot]

where 2nd monitor

[junior flax]

my new setup

[junior flax]

idk I should get one but I'm saving up for driving lessons

I also should get 1440p

[jade pivot]

1440p is overrated

[spiral jasper]

You guys wanna see real no airflow

😎

3 fans in the whole case (including the one on the gpu and one on the cpu)

[jade pivot]

dude

this is gore

[spiral jasper]

My gtx 950 is dying at 70°+ everyday

[lost fossil]

do you have legs? if yes, where do you put them when at the pc

[spiral jasper]

Floor

[lost fossil]

floor gang

[spiral jasper]

(I'm 196cm tall)

[jade pivot]

dafuq

[spiral jasper]

I cant fit anywhere

[jade pivot]

alright, dude listen

[spiral jasper]

I take sweaty gaming to a whole next level during the summer

[jade pivot]

you get a measure stick

measure that table

then you get a wooden board from the next hardware store

[spiral jasper]

It's already on the table

[jade pivot]

and make you table longer

[spiral jasper]

Behind monitor

[jade pivot]

problem solved

[spiral jasper]

Btw

The table is broken in half

It's bent

[lost fossil]

or get a door on a used market

[spiral jasper]

That's this line above the mousepad

Guess wood isn't good at handling my raging

[jade pivot]

maybe return the pc and purchase therapist lessons then

and yoga

[spiral jasper]

Pffft

Nah

[lost fossil]

did someone say yoga?

[spiral jasper]

😨

Stick drift in that mission

[jade pivot]

🧘

[spiral jasper]

Yes

[cold elbow]

what is wrong with you

[spiral jasper]

I cant put it anywhere else

Unfortunately

[cold elbow]

the roof

[spiral jasper]

I want to remodel my room

[cold elbow]

i dont think u using the roof for anything

[spiral jasper]

And get a proper desk

[cold elbow]

at least for now

[spiral jasper]

Wdym roof

[cold elbow]

ok how about

ceiling

or above the monitor

[spiral jasper]

Oh your talking about pc placements

Hmm

[cold elbow]

[spiral jasper]

Can't fit anywhere else

And I won't bolt my new case onto the wall

[jade pivot]

put it behind you, get longer cables

tie it to the ceiling

[faint zodiac]

put a hole in your wall and shove the pc into it

it'd somehow still have more airflow

[light totem]

Upgrade from a 1660

[charred otter]

Ive got a 1660 now i think big improvement?

[quartz kayak]

U selling the 1660?

Know a friend that might be interested

[light totem]

nah have a use for it already

[nova steppe]

just don't do this with it

[jovial tide]

Can someone help me with my ps4?

[quartz kayak]

Sure. Whats wrong

[jovial tide]

The bottom right overheats for some reason

The rest dosent just wanna know why only the bottom right

[quartz kayak]

Cpu is in the bottom right lol

And ram modules surround the cpu

So all the heat is in that area

[jovial tide]

What should i do?

Its really hot but game dosent lag

[quartz kayak]

Does it actually warn you thats overheating or just makes alot of noise?

[jovial tide]

Just makes noise and when you touch it its really hot

Dosent warn me

[quartz kayak]

Well. I would disassemble it and clean it myself. But knowing that you probably dont have the dexterity to do it urself you should bring it to a repair shop or something like that

Because if you keep using it like that it might warn you in the future and possibly even damage something

[jovial tide]

I might clean it myself this is my brothers phone im not actually 9 if thats why you think i cant but thank you so much have a great night

[quartz kayak]

No i just dont think you have actual thermal pads and the specific screwdrive it needs to be assembled.

And disassembled

[quartz kayak]

Also, please follow a guide for it with your respective model. They are easy to break and playstation even made official youtube guides on it.

[lilac heath]

What happened to your rx6600?

[jade pivot]

get some canned air first, blow out the dust in the console

[quartz kayak]

That does nothing

[jade pivot]

yes it does

[quartz kayak]

The ps have like a heatsink inside of the actual vents

That gets clogged up

And its like

Impossible to get it with canned air

It like makes a carpet of fur bunnies

In mine i have a filter now so it isnt as bad but its still bad enough to where canned air dont do shi

Also the ps is such a drag to clean

U have to take like

2 panels and 3 heat plates

All that just to get into the cpu

If you want to clean the fan from the inside u need to basically disassemble the whole thing

Though i rember

@jovial tide if you have the ps4 pro, you can just take off the top plate and see the fan that might help.

Though normally the problem is in the heatsink. Not the fan. But gl

[maiden wren]

can you help me on sum?

[jade pivot]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[charred otter]

Oh wait idk what i have

[lilac heath]

[junior flax]

what if I do ask to ask

[nova steppe]

You just did

[jade pivot]

i will ignore or mock you

[junior flax]

can u help my pc

[jade pivot]

nobody can

[junior flax]

😭

[cold elbow]

[junior flax]

I am going to ask to ask

[cold elbow]

ok then

[quiet socket]

Evga still good for PSUs?

[cold elbow]

yes

[quiet socket]

Okay bet

[cold elbow]

and remember

fuck gigabyte

[lost fossil]

evga buys psus from oems

not all evga psus are really good but they're all at least fine

[quiet socket]

Always

[cold elbow]

i think that applies for most brands

[charred otter]

I have something Gigebyte

[cold elbow]

except gigabyte

[charred otter]

Oh wait not PSU

Im in the clear

[cold elbow]

[lost fossil]

but what about brands like super flower

[cold elbow]

i meant for the good well known brands

[charred otter]

I forgot which PSU i got

Its had no issues so far tho so must've been a good one

I think it was corsair or smth

[cold elbow]

nice

[charred otter]

I think you suggested it melon

[quiet socket]

I was going to get corsair but my current evga psu has lasted 9 years so I can't say that's a bad thing to continue

[jade pivot]

i have a gigabyte 3060...

is it going to blow up or sth

[charred otter]

a PSU

[jade pivot]

[charred otter]

Idk

[cold elbow]

only gigabyte part i have is the mobo and i hate it

[charred otter]

Ye i think i have a gigabyte mobo

[jade pivot]

my mobo has an overclock button and i have no clue what it does

[charred otter]

Turns on overclock

[lost fossil]

it adjusts the timezone

[cold elbow]

it overclocks your cpu

[jade pivot]

yea but, there have to be settings somewhere

[charred otter]

I think my next PC I'll not to do mobo from gigabyte

[jade pivot]

you can't just turn any CPU to 11

[lost fossil]

but you can turn it to 10.2

[jade pivot]

[quiet socket]

Never buy anything gigabyte

[cold elbow]

average pc gamer buying mobos with features they will never use

like LN2 ready bullshit

[quiet socket]

Shit quality

[jade pivot]

i ain't in need of chasing that 0,2 extra fps

[charred otter]

I somehow ended up with a gigabyte Mobo it wasn't intentional

[jade pivot]

the dual bios feature came in handy tho

[cold elbow]

flashback is better

[charred otter]

While i have peeps who are good at tech stuff what's a good second monitor i should go for

[quiet socket]

Also, can I copy my windows key to use on 2 pcs or do I have to rebuy

[cold elbow]

any cheap monitor with hdmi

[lost fossil]

gigabyte g27q

[jade pivot]

you need a standalone license to activate another pc

not hardware branded

[cold elbow]

they dont make them actually

[charred otter]

And how does that work when i get a second monitor do i need a display port thingy

[cold elbow]

they are mainly panels from LG or samsung

[jade pivot]

you plug in the monitor and it works

exciting stuff

[charred otter]

To the back of the PC or

[lost fossil]

apparently xiaomi copied the g27q and they're selling it under the same model name

[jade pivot]

no, you lick the hdmi port

then munch on the cable

[charred otter]

Well wouldn't you have to plug it into the GPU

To work

[cold elbow]

then u do this

[lost fossil]

[cold elbow]

😢

[jade pivot]

unless you bought a HDR monitor. then you fuck around for hours without any signal and cry

[charred otter]

HDR

[cold elbow]

GUYS i overclocked my second monitor

[charred otter]

High definition regret

[cold elbow]

it didnt handle 69

[jade pivot]

nothing can handle 69

[charred otter]

Wow

Mine can

I dont actually know

[cold elbow]

u have 60hz monitor?

[jade pivot]

59

[lost fossil]

[charred otter]

Uh i dont even know

[cold elbow]

remmi monitors are a good value

[charred otter]

Is 60hz bad

[jade pivot]

price has the same digits as the resolution?

[cold elbow]

colors usually not that good like mi 34 ultra wide 2k

[cold elbow]

yes

[lost fossil]

what are the chances that redmi g27q uses the same hardware as gigabyte g27q

[charred otter]

Well it was cheap tbf

[cold elbow]

fair

overclock it

[charred otter]

And it was originally for my ps4

So i wouldn't notice a difference cuz locked fps

And just locked quality in general

[cold elbow]

i hate looking at my second monitor since my main monitor is 165

[jade pivot]

rich people problems

[charred otter]

I mainly want another monitor for all my coding/modding stuff when i eventually do more of it

[cold elbow]

monitor is old... not even that expensive nowadays

[jade pivot]

i want a 3rd monitor sideways

[charred otter]

Oh and so i can watch youtube and discord in another screen so i dont gotta tab out constantly

Ive crashed my game tabbing out

Found recently that you can crash a ps5 player if you tab out in No Man's Sky. @unreal iron was the victim

[cold elbow]

second monitor is very important nowadays

i use a laptop as third laptop sometimes

[jade pivot]

just buy a mac and chain 5 ipads as additional monitors

[lilac heath]

Good idea

[jade pivot]

i hate how manufacturers don't print the specs on their hdmi cables

idk which ones to throw away

[charred otter]

Wait hdmi habe specs?

[jade pivot]

yes

you can't do 4k on old hdmi cables for example

which was fun to figure out

[charred otter]

Oh i dont think I'll ever have 4k

[unreal iron]

[charred otter]

I really want another LG monitor but i also want speakers for said monitor

[cold elbow]

speakers?????????

[lost fossil]

don't show this message to cora

[charred otter]

Well i have speakers now but idk how that works with a second monitor

[jade pivot]

there's only one audio output at a time unless you do channel shenanigans

[charred otter]

So it doesnt matter

[jade pivot]

no

[charred otter]

Will he yell at me

This is the one i have now for monitor or close enough i want something that doesnt have edges just full screen

Or well less edges

[jade pivot]

remove the bezel then

[cold elbow]

does it have vesa mount holes?

[charred otter]

Like wall mount?

[cold elbow]

4 screw holes on the back

[lilac heath]

Thicc bezels

[junior flax]

I remember playing 360 on the old 3 pin connector thing from xbox to tv

[cold elbow]

whats that?

[junior flax]

and if u wanted to play on higher quality you'd have to get a hdmi

but I didn't have a hdmi for soooo long

[jade pivot]

i think he means 360p aka SD

[lost fossil]

rca?

[junior flax]

uhhh

there was like 3 leads

each one controlled something

1 audio

[lost fossil]

he rly called rca a 3 wire thing

[junior flax]

wait

ye rca

[junior flax]

bro idk the name

[rose yacht]

tbf same

been so long since i needed to use rca

[lost fossil]

[junior flax]

I remember u wouldn't be able to play split screen on minecraft on rca so I begged my dad for a hdmi

to play with my brother

[junior flax]

[lost fossil]

i had a capture device that used component

which is rca but with extra steps
