I'm not owner?

And no one is gonna fall for that shit

the hell is that bullshit

So

You are literally impersonating a owner of omar

I see

why

Ok

also I don't think omar will say wtf 😭

And

And you're doing it while the mods are gone oh ok

[lilac heath]

Buying a nvidia gpu would be better since u will have access to both of the upscaling tech

Drifting in gta

[toxic sentinel]

But I have RTX 3000 series already 💀

[lilac heath]

[toxic sentinel]

And I ain't buying 4000 series just for frame generation

Nvidia is just like Apple

[lilac heath]

Fr

[toxic sentinel]

I guess I could sell my old GPU, but it still wouldn't make it worth it I guess

GPU's are so cheap now so upgrade wouldn't be that bad

[cold elbow]

At this point you cant even call it gta from the amount of customizations that you can do to your already custom cars like handling and stance
There are presets for drifting in the server also which you can apply and enjoy drifting

It's enjoyable to listen to music and chill.

[lilac heath]

U should try Forza horizon 5

[cold elbow]

I did

Got bored of it in few days

[lilac heath]

[sharp idol]

Is upgrading the storage on a steamdeck relatively easy? I've never done it before

[sour marsh]

There are some youtube videos about it. from what I have seen it seems easy

however the SSD has to be in a smaller formfactor

[rose yacht]

2230 nvme to be specific

[sharp idol]

Yeah got a 2230 1tb, thanks will check that out on YT. Just wanted to see if anyone has any personal experience on it

[sour marsh]

at least you can buy a steam deck

[rose yacht]

its not like i cant buy one, i dont have a reason to get one

[sour marsh]

I can only buy ASUS Rog Ally here

[rose yacht]

the steam deck is cheaper in bulgaria than the ally

💀

even the 512 gb model is like 300 bucks off of the ally

my god

[sour marsh]

wait they sell it in bulgaria

bruh

[rose yacht]

yea

they dont sell it in your country?

[sour marsh]

I think Valve just hates Norway

for no reason

[rose yacht]

it should be in the eu.. tf?

[sour marsh]

They sell in FUCKING Sweden

we aren't part of EU

that's the thing

[rose yacht]

oh..

thats the problem

[sour marsh]

EEA still allows us to have comedies from EU as much as EU countries have

so whatever reason they have is bullshit

[jade pivot]

or selling in countries with their own rolls of import handling is just too much of a hassle

[sour marsh]

I still think the lose more money vs import handling

regardless what you think, Alot of people had to drive to sweden or send a parcel from Sweden to Norway to get the steam deck

[jade pivot]

if it takes the same effort to manage norway compared to the EU, it makes sense to focus on europe first

[supple walrus]

Still not available here in Australia like bruh

[sour marsh]

Should not take years to focus on EU first

[cold elbow]

It's easy just take your time removing the back cover and use the right tool for it to avoid scratching it
Also you have to reuse the ssd cover that comes with the steamdeck ssd.

Ifix it probably haveva detailed guide.

[jade pivot]

buy the ifixit repair kit

[quartz kayak]

Dont

Its too expensive

[jade pivot]

you're just too broke to buy quality

[rose yacht]

its 80 bucks

[jade pivot]

but look at all the sexy stuff you'll never use

[sharp idol]

got them already

[jade pivot]

you see that's yellow

yellow is weaker than blue

[quartz kayak]

God

[jade pivot]

see, blue is better because it's more expensive

missing the ifixit logo though

[quartz kayak]

You can even buy an electric screwdriver for cheaper than the kit

[jade pivot]

i got both fixit kits and they work well

[jade pivot]

that's almost as much as i paid for my throwaway xiaomi phone

[quartz kayak]

🤑

But its xiaomi

So yk its quality

[jade pivot]

compared to my iphone i wouldnt use the word quality personally

[quartz kayak]

Did you just compare a 35$ phone to an iphone

Ur dumb

[jade pivot]

it was 60 something € actually

[quartz kayak]

Doesnt matter

[jade pivot]

but it has more camera holes than my iphone!

[quartz kayak]

Ur too silly

Stop beeing silly

[jade pivot]

and two sim slots!

two!

[sharp idol]

I've had a few of these, all broke too easily

[quartz kayak]

Proof or didnt happen

My aunt has a weird dog

[jade pivot]

i bet that dog loves wet food

[quartz kayak]

Its waterproof

I think

I bet it is

Its currently under me

Its not the same

Thats a wowstick

[jade pivot]

Isn't the real one called irobot

[quartz kayak]

Thats the real one

Cant u see the i

[jade pivot]

Where's the i

[jade pivot]

That's an R

[quartz kayak]

Ok

Ur so annoying

Istggg

[cold elbow]

Robot vacuums are a waste of money

[rose yacht]

we have one, but my mother prefers to clean by hand

with a vacuum

[jade pivot]

They work well for what they do

[cold elbow]

Battery powered vacuums >>>>>

Silly robots don't clean well

[jade pivot]

But robots are battery powered vacuums

[quartz kayak]

Real

I mean

[cold elbow]

Being silly

[quartz kayak]

Roombas are good to clean when ur not home

Thats about it

[cold elbow]

[jade pivot]

I had the Dyson battery vacuum and it was absolute garbage

[quartz kayak]

I have one of those and its so good

I live it

[cold elbow]

Yeah

[jade pivot]

Big motor sucks better than smol motor

[cold elbow]

I have a 50$ battery powered vacuum cleaner and it's amazing

Can get anywhere

And cleans well

[jade pivot]

Try to vacuum cat hair

[cold elbow]

I have a cat

[quartz kayak]

Ours was 150

[jade pivot]

My Dyson didn't even pick up paper scraps

[quartz kayak]

I just wish it came with like an atachment to change the tube thing to a brush or something

[cold elbow]

Mine came with that lol

[quartz kayak]

Ours picks up like plastic film fine

[cold elbow]

It also can be wall mounted

[quartz kayak]

Lucky

[cold elbow]

Comes with two extra filters

[quartz kayak]

Ours can be wall mounted too

And 2 batteries

But we only use 1

[jade pivot]

Try to vacuum this

[quartz kayak]

Bcs it lasts more that way

[quartz kayak]

Why are u trying to vacuum a whole cat

[jade pivot]

Because his fur is full of plant garbage

[cold elbow]

Yeah i never felt the need for the second battery

Or the need to use the maximum speed

[quartz kayak]

For that you bathe the cat

Not vacuum it

Though ig cats should be rarely washed

I have no idea

[cold elbow]

Corsair is being silly today

[jade pivot]

Good luck washing cats if they haven't been raised that way

[cold elbow]

Probably bought a knockoff dyson

From wish

[jade pivot]

Wdym

It said daisun on the sticker

[quartz kayak]

Yeah i heard dysons are really good

[cold elbow]

Daison lol

[quartz kayak]

The one with the green light

[jade pivot]

Or datsun

[quartz kayak]

Ours also has a light but its white

[cold elbow]

Mine white also

[jade pivot]

Buy a Kirby instead

They succ

[quartz kayak]

Which ones urs specifically

[cold elbow]

Forgor the name

[quartz kayak]

Lol

Is it like

Red

[cold elbow]

Some German thing

[quartz kayak]

And grey

[cold elbow]

Yes

[quartz kayak]

It may be the same brand as mine

[cold elbow]

Oh

[quartz kayak]

I also forgot the brand of ours tho

[sharp idol]

i have a 🦈 hoover at home and Dyson at shop.. I prefer the Shark

[cold elbow]

[jade pivot]

German could be Siemens Bosch or thomas

[cold elbow]

These are usually expensive

[jade pivot]

Quality

[quartz kayak]

That looks like mine

[cold elbow]

Similar but not like it

Trash tray is vertical

[jade pivot]

the dyson fan is pretty cool tho

the bladeless one

it blows better than the vacuum sucks

[cold elbow]

But

[sharp idol]

Dyson fan looks nice but thats about it

[cold elbow]

A 15$ fan gets the job done

Or in my case

Noctua A15

[jade pivot]

you wouldnt cool a room with noctua a15s

[cold elbow]

It cools me

Which is the whole point

[quartz kayak]

My fan was like

10€

Lol

It works fine

Has been working for 5 years

[cold elbow]

My noctua was 3$

[quartz kayak]

Fell like 200 times

Im not even exagerating

[jade pivot]

alpenföhn > noctua

[cold elbow]

Ok

[quartz kayak]

Im not dutch sorry

Blahaj>

[jade pivot]

it's a german company

[quartz kayak]

Same thing

[cold elbow]

They probably overengineered

Ugly af

[jade pivot]

[cold elbow]

Swap these fans with p12s

[jade pivot]

ls swap the fans

top gear did a v8 blender, why not v8 cpu fan

[cold elbow]

Ls swap your nose

[snow rover]

[cold elbow]

[snow rover]

[quartz kayak]

No its like a really fat case

[snow rover]

i have a feeling it won't last very long

[quartz kayak]

One of those heavy dutty ones

[jade pivot]

[quartz kayak]

It was like 50€ 😭

[cold elbow]

Silly cases

[quartz kayak]

Idk i forgot

[quartz kayak]

Nono this ones legit

Not those from aliexpress

[cold elbow]

I've seen em
They are big for no obvious reason

[jade pivot]

billy boy should create phone cases fr, their stuff is untearable

[cold elbow]

Often come in parts

[quartz kayak]

Its from ghostek

I just asked him

https://ghostek.eu/Catalogue/489/atomic-slim/53268/ghostek-atomic-slim-4-samsung-galaxy-s22-red-ghocas2942

He bought it because at the time he was working mainly in costruction to pay off stuff

But now he just uses the carbon case i bought him

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOYDNzG

The carbon one is p good if you like those type of stuff

[jade pivot]

real man buy leather cases

[quartz kayak]

It protects the phone well but breaks once it falls oncr

Leather cases suck

Like they look good and all that

But dont last as much as a solic case

[jade pivot]

i have this one, it works well

[cold elbow]

Transparent case besst

[jade pivot]

can your transparent case do this

[quartz kayak]

I like traparent cases too, but most of them get yellow

And the ones who dont cost too much for a transparent case

Also theres no real good transparent cases for my phone

[quartz kayak]

Samsung official ones can

Lol

[snow rover]

wallet cases are the worst

[jade pivot]

i hate wallets

i hate physical money

that's why the case is perfect for me

[cold elbow]

That's so big to have in a pocket

[quartz kayak]

I hate wallet cases

Like any of them

[jade pivot]

it's not really much bigger than the phone

[quartz kayak]

They are horrible

[cold elbow]

I also need to mount the phone while driving

[quartz kayak]

When ur using your phone alone u have a flippy thing on it and its annoying

[cold elbow]

Way i see it it makes it double the thickness

[quartz kayak]

And they always look horrid as they age

[jade pivot]

only if you stuff it full of cards

but ye, the case is kinda damaged considering its 5 years old now

[cold elbow]

This is the style of cases i prefer for everyday use

[quartz kayak]

Those are meh too

Looks like those cheapo aliexpress cases

[cold elbow]

They protect the phone
Gives good grip
And they dont make the phone big

And they also cheap

[quartz kayak]

I dont need grip on the phone, im grippy enough by myself

[jade pivot]

give see through phone cases like with the old gameboys

[snow rover]

i like this

[quartz kayak]

Me too

But then

[snow rover]

not as good as the dbrand teardown skin but still

[quartz kayak]

Those are like 50€

From spigen

[cold elbow]

????
My phone keeps slipping from my hand

[jade pivot]

yes, but it has to have some shitty purple tinge as well

[quartz kayak]

What phone is it

Tf

[jade pivot]

like this

[cold elbow]

I have iphone and s10 lite

[quartz kayak]

Oh thats why it slips

Its the finish

[jade pivot]

huh?

[cold elbow]

All phones slip

[snow rover]

this dbrand skin is great

but then putting a clear case over it

just ehh

[quartz kayak]

Its glossy isnt it?

[jade pivot]

cora, did you throw away your spicy pillow yet

[snow rover]

no it's in the closet

[cold elbow]

Metal and glass so yeah

[quartz kayak]

I feel like gloosy would be kore grippu than frosted glass

Frosted glass is so slippery

[cold elbow]

Even frosted slip off my hand

[quartz kayak]

Frosted slips more than normal glass

[jade pivot]

get hand cream

[quartz kayak]

Yeah hidrate ur hands woman

Glass doesnt slip if they are hidrated!

[cold elbow]

???

[jade pivot]

unless you hydrate with oil

[quartz kayak]

Oh god

I use moisturizing cream and i hate it

[cold elbow]

U guys are weird

[jade pivot]

you dont use handcream?

[quartz kayak]

Bcs my phones screen gets warped with the cream

[cold elbow]

I do

[quartz kayak]

Wdymmm

[jade pivot]

dafuq kind of cream warps screens

[quartz kayak]

Ur the one moisturizing with oil

[quartz kayak]

Every

[jade pivot]

warping means bending or expanding

[quartz kayak]

Put cream on ur hand and pass it on ur screen

[jade pivot]

dafuq kind of cream are you using

[cold elbow]

Last time i checked
Oil helps slipping things

[quartz kayak]

Yeah it makes the image look funny

[cold elbow]

I asked a friend and he was like hey your hand is small and soft so of course they will slip

Point is u should always buy a cover that protects the phone and grip well

[quartz kayak]

Stop putting oil on ur hands melon!!!

[cold elbow]

Barely put any

After shower especially in winter

Don't need it in summer

[jade pivot]

moisture is important tho

[quartz kayak]

Ong

[jade pivot]

especially face cream

[quartz kayak]

I should moisturize my feet more

They are cracking

[cold elbow]

I always wear sunscreen outside

[quartz kayak]

I walk so much

[jade pivot]

i havent found a sunscreen brand yet that doesnt melt into my eyes

[quartz kayak]

Tf

Why are you putting it clise to ur eyes

Close

Englsih

[jade pivot]

your eyes are in your face, fish

you put sunscreen on the face

[cold elbow]

So u put it in your eyes

[jade pivot]

no, it drips down from my forehead

[cold elbow]

Have wipes with you all the time

And

[jade pivot]

that defeats the purpose of suncream

[cold elbow]

U can apply the sunscreen to some cotton balls then wipe your face

[latent drum]

When De UMBEREKLLAS

[jade pivot]

i am blonde, so the sun is my enemy

if i dont use enough, it's crab people time

[cold elbow]

Im a redhead so the sun is a bigger enemy for me

[quartz kayak]

I rarelly even put sunscreen

Even on the beach

[cold elbow]

Lucky

[quartz kayak]

Im not even dark skinned, im just mostly in shade

Im a shade girl

I rarely go to the water

[jade pivot]

lucky genes

if i'm in the sun for one hour without cream it's game over

[cold elbow]

Man im pale af

Skin too sensitive to the slightest sun

AWFUL

[jade pivot]

fellow basement dweller

i got sunburn from my daylight lamp once

[cold elbow]

Lmao

What's more awful that we can't have a tan

[quartz kayak]

Probably bcs im from here

[jade pivot]

tan is doable, it just takes forever with 60+ cream

[cold elbow]

I don't use 60+

[quartz kayak]

Ima also not particularly dark skinned

[cold elbow]

Rather die

[quartz kayak]

My veins are green

So

[jade pivot]

actual fish

[quartz kayak]

Its just shade

[jade pivot]

dafuq kind of shade, are you colorblind

[quartz kayak]

Im not gonna stay more than 10 minutes in the sun unless im in the water

[quartz kayak]

What

Im saying

If you stay in the shade

Ur not getting sunburnt

[cold elbow]

Lol

Not true

[jade pivot]

ye, UV doesnt care about shade

[quartz kayak]

It definitely does.

Beeing in shade wont get you burnt as much as in the shade

[jade pivot]

for light skinned people it does

[quartz kayak]

For anyone

Its the same for everyone

!

[jade pivot]

i was chilling under an umbrella with cream for half a day

fat red square on my chest

[quartz kayak]

Ew

You should also go to the water

[jade pivot]

yes but, all inclusive free bacardi cola

[quartz kayak]

Half a day in the shade is not ok

In a sunny day

Wait

Why tf are talking about this in tech

Uhmm

What are you opinions

VGA W

[quartz kayak]

Dvi>

[cold elbow]

Tru

[jade pivot]

displayport

i've had more trouble pulling a dp connector than vga

[quartz kayak]

Recently changed from dvi to dp

Saw no changes

I still dont know why dp is a thing

[jade pivot]

what changes did you expect

[quartz kayak]

Idk

Probably something

[jade pivot]

dp supports higher resolutions and audio

[quartz kayak]

Dvi also supports all that!

[jade pivot]

you cant do 4k60 with dvi

and 4k30 is only possible with dual link

[quartz kayak]

4k is not needed

4k overated

[jade pivot]

for you, but dvi was a serial connector and needs to die

[quartz kayak]

It still is!

[small mural]

i remember some teacher at my school found a way to bend the vga cable

the metal part

[jade pivot]

especially because there's like 30 different dvi connectors

[quartz kayak]

They should make all of those cables into usbc

Why come up with new cables

[jade pivot]

connecting monitors via usbc has been a thing for years

[quartz kayak]

Sounds silly to me

[rose yacht]

i prefer displayport

[jade pivot]

you can even daisy chain monitors with usb c

[quartz kayak]

Yeah but yet hardware never comes with it.

Idk any gpu that uses usbc

[jade pivot]

it does, but usually only expensive office stuff

[quartz kayak]

Or console

[quartz kayak]

Why

WHY

[jade pivot]

buy any enterprise lenovo hp whatever, all the docks are usb c

[small mural]

i totally didnt find that out from apple

[quartz kayak]

No

I want my hardware to be like that

Becausenits the one thats getting more use

[jade pivot]

buy hardware for usb c then

[quartz kayak]

Enterprise is only getting connecred once in its whole life

[jade pivot]

no?

you know what a docking station is?

[quartz kayak]

They should nuke every display formfactor and just make everything usbc from now on

[jade pivot]

go to the EFFF then and make it so

[quartz kayak]

Nty

Not my job

But just imagine

Everything beeing usbc

That would be so good

[rose yacht]

yea but what if you want to make a retro station

[quartz kayak]

Adapters

[jade pivot]

you wouldnt charge a car with usb c

it would take forever!

[rose yacht]

yea but half of the time they dont work too well

[quartz kayak]

Make a gigant usbc

[jade pivot]

[quartz kayak]

What adapters have you been using

Tf

[rose yacht]

uh rn i dont use since i have no need

[quartz kayak]

Then why are you even talking here

Ughhhh

[rose yacht]

🗿

cuz i want to say that sometimes adapters just dont work how they are supposed to

[jade pivot]

dont buy shitty aliexpress adapters then

[quartz kayak]

I ve never bought an adapter that didnt work

Is that not the average adapter experience

[jade pivot]

stuff gets weird once you go dp > hdmi

[quartz kayak]

Expected

[jade pivot]

because you need an active converter

or was it hdmi dp, i dont remember

i think hdmi > dp

because dp supports hdmi signals

[quartz kayak]

Who is going hdmi dp tho

Its so weird

Just use one

Ur probably gonna lose something adapting anyways

[jade pivot]

i had to connect a raspberry to a tv wall once for a shop

[quartz kayak]

Maaaan

[jade pivot]

had to special order a converter from amazon

[quartz kayak]

I want a raspberry

They are so expensive thooo

But just

Imagine what i could do with one

It would be so cool

[jade pivot]

they're 40-50 euro rn

[quartz kayak]

Is that not alot

😭😭

[jade pivot]

no

[quartz kayak]

Yes it is

[jade pivot]

my rasp 2 was 35 something

[quartz kayak]

Give it to me

Im gonna make

A calculator on it

A

Game

A

[brave field]

Would an ESP32 work for you?

[jade pivot]

if you pay for shipping

i havent used my rasp for some time

[quartz kayak]

Idk what an esp32 is

[brave field]

microcontroller, does all the GPIO stuff the Pi does but without needing an OS

[quartz kayak]

Yoo

Imagine

Making a powerbank

[brave field]

They're some $4 if you're interested

[quartz kayak]

Mehh

I d like to

But i know that if i get one i wont do anything

Yk its one of those things where you wana do stuff but cba to do it

All ambition

[brave field]

I have two collecting dust 😭

Would you use 18650s for a powerbank?

[quartz kayak]

Yeah

I would try

To make those cool ones

With like

8 of them

[rose yacht]

i dont

[quartz kayak]

And an acrylic case or something like that

And maybe a screen if i could

Thats probably pretty hard to make tho

[brave field]

The TP4056 does an okay job

[quartz kayak]

But if i d imploment a mini screen with charging speeds and stuff like that something better would be needed im guessing

[brave field]

likely

Would you want the screen to come with the BMS or be something you add using a microcontroller or such?

[quartz kayak]

No bms screens look cheap

Would probably make a smol ui on a smol lcd

If i wanted quality

[jade pivot]

probably start with a rasp server and work your way up if you have no clue

[quartz kayak]

Though if price is a factor a bms screen would be better probably

[jade pivot]

lots of tutorials

[quartz kayak]

But if the price was a problem in the first place i just wouldn't add a screen at all

Just add a led with blinking modes or something like that

All of these look so cool for different models

I really like that long 0.91 inch one

@brave field have u seen these?

I would try to make a my way version of it

[brave field]

Never, but it looks great

[quartz kayak]

Ikr

[jade pivot]

looks like something you wouldnt get through airport security

[quartz kayak]

I mean it says that it is airline safe

[jade pivot]

that thing looks more like a bomb than an actual bomb

[quartz kayak]

😭

Its so cool though

It costs like

200€

Sadly

Could probably make one with like 50€ maybe a lil more if im expensive

[latent drum]

I saw someone on twitter saying many people dont have VRR monitors

[quartz kayak]

Whats twitter

[small mural]

macOS is cool and all

but some things are simply annoying

I spent 5 minutes trying to think of why it couldn’t let me restart

Only to find out I didn’t log out of the other account on this mac

smh

[rose yacht]

some ancient site

[spiral jasper]

whats vrr?

[jade pivot]

vroom vroom

[latent drum]

Variable Refresh Rate

if you got a gaming monitor in the last few years, it probably have it

i think monitors started shipping with VRR wide spread with around 2015-2016

[solemn cargo]

Whats 1+1

[jade pivot]

vrr is garbo

[solemn cargo]

[jade pivot]

you want to hit the max refreshrate of your monitor anyway, what's the point

and if you cant hit 30 fps at your fancy upscaled 4k, that's a big skill issue

[proud night]

Hey does anyone know why I can't install black ops cold war?

I'm game sharing with a friend and he owns cold war

But it's not letting me install the base game

I've set my console as his primary

I've downloaded the multi-player and zombies

But not the base game

[jade pivot]

there's this thing called error message that usually pops up when you try to do stuff and it doesnt work

that would help

immensely

[proud night]

Lemme try to install zombies again, trying to do that gave me some error

[jade pivot]

yea, the full message would be even better

[proud night]

This is the only info I can get

[jade pivot]

yea, see

that message tells you it's already downloading

[proud night]

Also cold war doesn't have the download indicator

[proud night]

I know, and it's the only error I can get, the only info I have for any of this

He has the game digitally, I know

[latent drum]

its not

not all games will run at your monitor refresh rate

you can play shooters or story games

ones will run at 60 and others at 120

VRR is a saver for these

[jovial tide]

Anyone here have an idea about what CPUs go good with a 6650XT? Currently looking at a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X or a AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700X

[jade pivot]

people need to know your mainboard for recommendations, the socket might be incompatible with newer CPUs

[cold elbow]

Am4 obviously

[jovial tide]

AM4

[cold elbow]

Btw

5700 exists

[jovial tide]

Currently running a Ryzen 5 3600, but it's just not up to par for what I do

[cold elbow]

I sometimes think about upgrading and only thing that worth it for my use is 5800x3d

5600 is not much better to justify the price difference

[jovial tide]

So then what do you recommend as an upgrade that would be worth the price for me

[jade pivot]

what's your budget

[jovial tide]

No budget at the moment, I just want to look at my options that would best pair with the GPU I have right now

So any recommendations that you think are best is fine

[cold elbow]

It all depends on what you can find in your region

[jade pivot]

5600 is good if you want to keep the price in check

it's 134€ rn here

[cold elbow]

Undead usually streams so more cores can come in handy

[jovial tide]

For the most part, things are readily available here. I also use best buy all the time for pc stuff

[jovial tide]

Oh right, that too

[cold elbow]

Would say 5700

[jovial tide]

Probably should've mentioned that

[jade pivot]

no separate streaming pc?

[jovial tide]

Cause I recently found out my dropped frames were because of my GPU

[cold elbow]

Keep an eye on the x3d

[jovial tide]

Well, that would require building a new PC, which I don't exactly have money for right now

I don't stream on the regular anymore, just fridays, so I dunno if it'd even be worth building one

[jovial tide]

Also really strange, Best Buy doesn't have it

Just the 5700G

[cold elbow]

Yeah as i said just check what's avaliable

[jovial tide]

There is the 5600x, but that's also 6 cores

[jade pivot]

5700 is slower than the 5600

[cold elbow]

Can be good if you wanna save for new gpu with better encoder

[jade pivot]

5800 if you want more cores

or look for used stuff in your area, if you're not in a hurry to upgrade

[proud night]

I fixed it

[inner garden]

im only in this channel for my ego

i dont know shit

[latent drum]

If you are talking about the non G then dead ass never give PC advice ever again

[jade pivot]

3rd row is base clock, i hope the circles are helpful to you

@latent drum

[latent drum]

i dont think you know how these work

[jade pivot]

i think you want an argument, but please explain how 3,4 is more than 3,7

[latent drum]

Because base clock is not boost clock??

its this simple?

[jade pivot]

ah, gotcha

[latent drum]

the CPU will be running at its boost clock on most of the demanding tasks

[jade pivot]

so why not turn up the base clock then

[latent drum]

because its an 8 core CPU

[jade pivot]

why list it at all if it doesnt matter

[latent drum]

because power

[jade pivot]

can you do full sentences

[latent drum]

you got 16 threads running at 3.4ghz
Instead of 12 running at 3.7ghz

[jade pivot]

because brain

...you're adding up the cores to measure performance?

[latent drum]

Base clock is just for lower power
or if your CPU doesn't have enough cooling , it will just go back to base clock

or if your CPU is not running heavy tasks

usually when CPUs hit high power they will go back from Boost to base or slightly less than Boost depending on the motherboard

[latent drum]

no

iam saying

the reason it have 3.4ghz base clock is because it have 16 threads

also the CPU have more access to Cache

Ryzen 7 5700X would KILL the 5600X

in mostly anything

as far as i know all the 8 cores of the 5700X are on one chip

[jade pivot]

and the cores on the 5600 are somewhere else?

[latent drum]

no

they are also on one chip

but back in the day the X700 used to be split up

lowering its performance

thats why the 5900X performs worse in video games

as the 5900X is just 2 5600X added together

[jade pivot]

you do know that pretty much all games except for a handful are not efficiently utilizing multiple cores, right?

because multicore programming is hard

[latent drum]

games have been really good in the last 5 years or so at utilizing multi cores

[jade pivot]

do you understand at least why one CPU has a higher base clock than the other?

[latent drum]

but having all your cores on chip is better

because they can all share the same cache pool

and communitcate better

[latent drum]

more threads
lower running clock
to get lower idle power and temperatures

[jade pivot]

so no

[latent drum]

then what is it

please explain

[jade pivot]

why should i, did your parents block google

[latent drum]

because AMD is not Intel and they dont work similarly

[jade pivot]

they dont?

[latent drum]

AMD doesnt brust into 28 seconds of boost and go back to base unless you set it in BIOS to run on boost for infinte periods

like Intel Does

[jade pivot]

oh no, it kinda looks like the CPU with the higher base clock performs better

[latent drum]

the only downside of the 5700 is probably having to set its power limit above 65 watts to take advantage of its full power

unless you are someone who struggles with 5 mins tutorials

[latent drum]

my man read the graph

there is no scores on it

whats funny about this
the Stock 5600x is running at 4400mhz while the 5700x is running at 4100mhz

[cold elbow]

To make the 5800x more appealing

I never cared about base clock cus it's only relevant for OEMs and companies that make computers with shitty cooling

[jade pivot]

the 5700x is kinda weird in general for the price it's at

[latent drum]

clocks dont really matter in general

[cold elbow]

It's all about the max boost clock and actual benchmark performance
Base clock is irrelevant

[latent drum]

there are some stuff that heavily benefit from clocks and others just can get extra 400-500mhz and barely gain any increase

[jade pivot]

it's not irrelevant, higher base clock usually translates to more stable frequencies

[latent drum]

there are also power dumps

the best example is the 4090

[latent drum]

which doesnt matter
frequencies dont matter

[cold elbow]

Do you have concrete evidence?

Cus the way i see it some 3600 cpus clock even higher than 3600x

With pbo ofc

[latent drum]

silicon lottery

if that was the case people wounlt be running 2.5-2.7ghz intel 6th gen CPUs at 4ghz-4.2ghz

also there is Intel

which the base clock and all core boost clock difference can be closer to 2ghz

[cold elbow]

Base clock is made to give you an idea on what you get with your TDP

It's a standard for OEMs to follow

Again 3600 is 65watt
3600x is 95 something watt

Enable pbo and both will boost and consume the same power.

[jade pivot]

here's the general problem with comparing overclock performance

cpus usually only have a few production lines and a certain yield that performs below spec gets cores deactivated/throttled and sold as a lower tier cpu

[latent drum]

okay and

[jade pivot]

so two different budget cpus with OC might have wildly different benchmarks

[latent drum]

is PBO even OC lmao

[jade pivot]

yes it is

[latent drum]

just increase the power limit

increasing the power limit isnt OC

[cold elbow]

Pbo comes enabled in most motherboards

[jade pivot]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/cpu-pb2

[cold elbow]

It's just not set to the maximum

[jade pivot]

This technology can improve your PC’s performance by raising clockspeeds, which makes the processor—and your applications—run faster.

[cold elbow]

It will monitor your power budget and cooling then boost accordingly

[latent drum]

it does this withen the CPU range

its not Overclocking

the boost clock you see on AMD website is a single core boost clock

[cold elbow]

It's like saying xmp is overclock

[latent drum]

Single core boost isnt the same as Multicore boost

also again

Boost clock is irrelevant as SHIT

Base clock is irrelevant as SHIT too

someone straight face me rn and tell me the 5600G is faster than the 5600X

if clocks even mattered the 5600G would be killing it rn

[jade pivot]

if you have a cpu with a certain vendor defined treshold and you activate a feature that lets the cpu perform above the regular spec, is this not overclocking?

also fun fact, pbo technically voids your warranty

Amd themself state to not use pbo when benchmarking

because the results can vary wildly based on the quality of your die

[latent drum]

yes and

all benchmarks are

Stock

and clocks still dont make a difference

[cold elbow]

Any decent board you buy enables pbo by default

As i mentioned earlier only oem garbage companies keep it off

[latent drum]

a 4.1ghz 5700X is still beating a 4.4ghz 5600X

[cold elbow]

We are talking about actual performance not the bullshit that companies say

Why would you bottleneck your own cpu
No one does that.

And no one goes out of their way and disable it.

[latent drum]

so your CPU comes without a warrenty

[cold elbow]

If amd has a problem with it being enabled then they would enforced it on their partners that make said motherboards

[latent drum]

as its by default on

unless when you submit your warranty to AMD like
"I was trying to run this thing at 50V 60ghz and it died"
you would be fine

[jade pivot]

please read the footnotes on this article https://community.amd.com/t5/gaming/understanding-precision-boost-overdrive-in-three-easy-steps/ba-p/416136

[latent drum]

Thats V1

whats mostly commonly used is V2

and V2 is a curve optimizer

thats why its on by default

its like intel boost 2.0 and 3.0

[jade pivot]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-introduces-precision-boost-overdrive-2-boosts-single-thread-tremendously
As with all overclocking, and AMD's policy with the first-gen PBO, the new PBO2 invalidates your warranty.

[latent drum]

yes we know 💀

[jade pivot]

have you tried not being a pigeon

[latent drum]

literally

[latent drum]

have you tried reading what we have been saying for the last 70 years

[jade pivot]

yes numbnuts, i understand that they'll most likely replace your cpu even with scorch marks on the top

point to where i stated anything different

[latent drum]

other than your initial argument being that Base clocks matter
(no they dont, the 5600G base clock is 3.9ghz and 5600X is 3.7ghz)
then boost clocks matter
(no they dont, again)

PBO2 is ON by default

meaning you Void your warrenty the moment you connect power to your motherboard

[jade pivot]

within certain parameters, which also vary between different mb manufacturers

[latent drum]

PBO2 is automatic

[cold elbow]

[jade pivot]

how is it automatic if it's an option that needs to be toggled on and defined on certain mbs

[latent drum]

THIS

[supple walrus]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/soviet-pc-replica-from-chernobyl-zone-boots-up-after-30-years

[jade pivot]

https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3491-explaining-precision-boost-overdrive-benchmarks-auto-oc

Precision Boost OVERDRIVE is what AMD is calling it when those three thresholds are bumped up. The default setting for PBO is “auto,” which the stock specification defines as disabled; further, AMD’s own review guide states to disable PBO for reviews, as the Overdrive portion is not spec.

[latent drum]

AND?

[cold elbow]

Now we only need to build the reactor

[jade pivot]

The default setting for PBO is “auto,” which the stock specification defines as disabled

[supple walrus]

Some still exist today
I'm sure we could steal one

[cold elbow]

[jade pivot]

some dude enriched uranium in his oven, i'm sure you can do it as well

[lost fossil]

idk about all of u but my amd cpu doesn't work on default settings

[supple walrus]

Wouldn't even need enriched uranium

RBMKs can run on raw uranium

[lost fossil]

i have to disable pbo and core performance boost otherwise system crashes every 5 minutes

[cold elbow]

Is your cpu held by duct tape?

[jade pivot]

no that's mine

[cold elbow]

Or zipties

[lost fossil]

no

[jade pivot]

and i'm using velcro strips like a pro

is your stuff still in warranty, @lost fossil

[lost fossil]

never was

[jade pivot]

[lost fossil]

[cold elbow]

Is it a gigabyte motherboard

[latent drum]

asrock

what even are good motherboard makers these days wtf

[lost fossil]

msi

[latent drum]

buying a mobo nowadays feels like choosing different suicide pills

[lost fossil]

was actually asrock b4

[cold elbow]

Usually a gamble

I gambled and lost unfortunately

Fuck gigabyte

[latent drum]

they range from
Asrock: Severe depression, so cheaply made doesnt even have the power to implode
Asus: August 6, 1945

Gigabyte and MSI competing on the worst ways to cool vrms

[lost fossil]

idk wendell from level 1 often sings high praises of asrock motherboards

[latent drum]

asrock have been in free fall for ages now

almost every asrock board i had gave me severe dread

[lost fossil]

[latent drum]

their BIOS might ass fucking delete itself

[cold elbow]

Actually gigabyte doing better with vram cooling
And you get better specs for your money than msi
But then you get awful software and support then they sometimes cheap out on places that make no sense
It doesn't even save them money....
WHY

[jade pivot]

Big corpo wants you to remove the cool cover

Do not fall for their lies

[cold elbow]

Nice cooling for already efficient and beefy vrms

[latent drum]

X670E

[cold elbow]

Im talking about the low-mid range boards

[latent drum]

lmfao

imagine paying a university dept for a motherboard to find out its not cooled properly

[lost fossil]

it is cooled properly though, look at that fat radiator

not even a basic slab of aluminium like most other mobos

speaking of, do u think that it's possible to diy cool vrms with m.2 ssd heatsinks?

[latent drum]

yeah i know its cooled probably

[cold elbow]

Yup possible

But you need to cut them

Vrms are smol

[latent drum]

thats THE LEAST you should expect from a 750 Euros motherboard

oh its the master

again its still 500 euros msrp

[jade pivot]

That 750 euro mb better come with some serious bling to justify the price

[latent drum]

i love how humans think

[spiral jasper]

Did this channel move up or is it just me?

[latent drum]

yes its possible

dont my M2 heatsinks

just buy normal electronics heatsinks

get something beafy and you should be good

[jade pivot]

Does it do taxes as well

[lost fossil]

what if i need a heatpipe

[latent drum]

then you are probably locked to M.2

[latent drum]

three year warranty

it probably costs less than 100$ to make these shit

[lost fossil]

https://www.idcooling.com/Product/detail/id/314/name/ZERO M15

this would probably cool the vrms better than almost any default mobo vrm heatsink

too bad the one pc where i want to try this out does not have enough space for one of these

[latent drum]

hmmmmmmmmmmm yes i love my CPU 80C farts go to my NVMe

[jade pivot]

In a shocking turn of events, scientists discover that heatsinks require airflow to operate

[latent drum]

it costs 20$

12$*

how much do you think they will make a difference

is a 25$ VRM cooling upgrade even worth it

[lost fossil]

it's a lifestyle

[latent drum]

just like me frfrfr

[lost fossil]

it only makes sense to buy $25 worth of vrm cooling for a $160 cpu+mb combo from aliexpress because it didn't ship with adequate cooling

[latent drum]

show

me

the

mobo

why not buy the cooling from Mr Sir Ali Doctor Express the 3rd

oh uh quick warning

dont buy M.2 from kingstone

[jade pivot]

Source: trust me bro

[latent drum]

i bought a 2Tb NV2 from them

it broke after 2 weeks

so when my power went out

the M.2 broke

they dont put power protection on their 120 euros M.2

and label it as consumer problem

i went to check the amazon reviews and yeah, i wish i did

scumbags

[latent drum]

i find it funny as shit that Aliexpress 64gb 5$ ssds come with

and kingshit was like Nah

also their support is awful
they can weeks to respond

[latent drum]

is this a Mobile CPU in an ATX format?

[lost fossil]

yes

[latent drum]

oh god why

[lost fossil]

it's cool

[latent drum]

at least i hope its like an 5950X or something

the Chinese are stealing this conversation rn

[lost fossil]

get a load of this dude who thought a 5950x equivalent + mobo would cost just $160

[latent drum]

its ali express

you dont know who they killed to get the required components

[jade pivot]

Five finger rebate

[latent drum]

what will happen if

i combine a 5700X with the cheapest board ever

lets see

[lost fossil]

vrm after 2 minutes:

i'm gonna commit unspeakable things on my mac

the keyboard is getting worse every day

i have the n key on the clipboard atm

[lost fossil]

get one of these $500+ keyboards with a windows/mac os switch

[jade pivot]

it's a macbook

[lost fossil]

that's not what they meant by n-key rollover

[jade pivot]

and they riveted the keyboard onto the case in my series

[lost fossil]

he has ⬇️ on the clipboard atm

[jade pivot]

enkei is kinda mid

[lost fossil]

and you only have one usb port so plugging in an external keyboard is out of the question

if that's not planned obsolescence then i don't know what is

[jade pivot]

no, i paid 200 extra so i have 4 thunderbolts

[lost fossil]

got 99 ports but usb ain't one

[jade pivot]

thunderbolt has the same connector?

[lost fossil]

let me pretend for a minute

[jade pivot]

pretend what

spot the difference

[lost fossil]

pretend that thunderbolt and usb c are not compatible

[jade pivot]

they are tho

It is possible with a 3600

3600 is like 1800-2000 liras

and a motherboard for 2000 liras

[lost fossil]

that's 4000 liras and you still need ram, gpu, case, psu, ssd

[latent drum]

i can PROBABLY get a PSU for 1000 liras but it will suck dick

I have a GPU and Ram

[lost fossil]

that's 5000 liras and you ram out of budget

[lost fossil]

look at available options from those chinese cpu+mobo boards like the one i sent

[latent drum]

bruh

what even is your CPU

i swear

screen protectors

i did it just like oleg said

shower so fucking humid it would give the amazon rainforest a run for it's money

throughly cleaned the phone with a sticker, took the film off the screen protector and put it on. less than 10 seconds of downtime

still there are 2 or 3 little particles under it

god
