Can you load up Val with no issues?

[jovial tide]

I'll tell you what happens

Soo I turned on my pc, it asked to restart, I did and it worked sometimes I turn on my pc and it works without restarting

Was just asking why it asks re-start randomly, but not on my internal ssd

[smoky mist]

So its recurring?

[jovial tide]

Yep, random times

[cold elbow]

do both of these games use the same launcher?

also its probably due to the shitty anticheat valo is using cus its kernal based so needs to be running and spying on you all the time 😊

[bronze vortex]

@graceful torrent

Salam aleikum

[jovial tide]

Nope, probably ur right, it can be cause of its anti cheat

[unreal iron]

I come before thee with questions regarding a fren

[snow rover]

sir this channel is for tech, not friends

[unreal iron]

He wants to build a Ryzen pc because Nvidia cards "get too hot"

He doesn't want anything to do with their cards or cpus

[snow rover]

nvidia cpu and ryzen gpu

[unreal iron]

He's built pcs in the past and wants to build a ryzen, probably with a 7000 series. He has a budget of 2k for a normal build, and more if it means future proofing

Also, he wants a water cooled cpu

And it has to be quiet. Like dead silent

As little rgb as necessary he doesn't care about that

I dont think he wants water cooling all over, just the cpu. He wants function over looks

[cold elbow]

Ok so

[brave field]

<brand> is too hot, future proofing, quiet water cooling

[cold elbow]

Ryzen 7600

Probably novideo 4070 super or 7800xt

Arctic liquid freezer ii

Done

Go

[unreal iron]

I can only assume he overclocks and it Cooks stuff

[cold elbow]

The rest is whatever

[unreal iron]

And avoiding an intel cpu

[cold elbow]

Yes that's amd cpu

[snow rover]

saying nvidia cards run too hot is pretty funny though when nvidia has the best power efficiency

[unreal iron]

His last pc has 2 2060s

But that was made when they were new

[cold elbow]

That's pretty smart

Two shit cards

[unreal iron]

[cold elbow]

Probably an awful airflow as well

[brave field]

How willing is he to compromise on the dead silent thing? Might be difficult finding a silent CLC with 2-3 fans + pump noise

[unreal iron]

Hes the type of guy who does his research so I would guess they were purchased on faith they were good when they were new

Before issues were known

[cold elbow]

Liquid freezer is near silent

And to be even more silent he can get the 360

And run one fan

[unreal iron]

He's probably willing to change the cooling type, or case, to achieve silence

[unreal iron]

Novideo lol

Mobo and ram recommendations? He was thinking 32 or 64 ram or 128 if it's not obscene

[brave field]

What is he

doing with the PC?

[unreal iron]

Uh probably games

He's retired army grunt he wants his games to look good when he's showing his sons how to play an RTS

Or whatever he plays

He's playing balders gate rn

[brave field]

baller's gate

32gb should be fine, 2x16

[unreal iron]

Ddr5 or not worth the money over ddr4

[brave field]

Desktop Ryzen 7000 only supports DDR5

[unreal iron]

Oh huh. Thank.

[unreal iron]

Ripjaws or

I've never looked at "what's the best bang for your buck" at top ends. Only "what can I get for $5 and a piece of string"

[brave field]

The highest MT/s + lowest CL without paying hugely more than other kits will do. Brand doesn't matter.

[unreal iron]

@brave field what would be a better intel chip if he can be convinced? One thing here says the amd 7600 is not good for gaming

[brave field]

What says that?

[unreal iron]

Pc mag

[brave field]

Have a link?

[unreal iron]

https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-7600x

My guy got approved to spend like 4-5k if it means getting what he paid for.

So if I'm going to spend his money, I'd like to not fuck him

[cold elbow]

[brave field]

The review argues the 7600X at it's launch price is a poor choice for gaming when compared to the 12600k, rather than saying it isn't good for gaming.

[unreal iron]

I'm under the impression you can build a "great" pc for like 2k

[cold elbow]

U mentioned "future proofing" tho

With amd u can upgrade in the future

With intel you are 💀

[unreal iron]

It's a word I see used more about how people don't want to buy something else in the next 5 years

[brave field]

That line is under the iGPU gaming tests

[exotic patrol]

@unreal iron

[unreal iron]

So
...a laptop version

Hey comfy what's up

[exotic patrol]

Didn't your fold have some sort of problem

[unreal iron]

It did yeah

[exotic patrol]

But doesn't samsung give you 2 year warranty

[unreal iron]

1 year, but I pay for asurion so I got a claim

$99 and a new phone

It's not my limited edition Burgundy anymore

Big sad

[exotic patrol]

Oh right did you hear when they wanted my ID for the charger

[exotic patrol]

Rip

[unreal iron]

They fockin wot

[exotic patrol]

Yep it was a big mess

[unreal iron]

Like your drivers liscence?

[exotic patrol]

No my actual ID

But that wasn't enough

[unreal iron]

So the 7600 as a normal cpu will do big boy stuff like RTS games

[exotic patrol]

They wanted driver license or a birth certificate or family photo

Didn't have it at the time

They came the second day

We provided the information

And I finally got the charger

[unreal iron]

A charger like

Cell phone brick that plugs into a wall

Not even a cable?

[snow rover]

a birth certificate to take delivery of a 10 dollar charger

lol

[exotic patrol]

Fr

I was like let me just order from another place

[unreal iron]

You had to give samsun/asurion your birth certificate

To get a $5 wall brick?

[exotic patrol]

Samsung rep calls me back

They apologize

And they're like we only need your ID and a family photo

[unreal iron]

I got a free one in the frigging asurion replacement box

I aint even ask for.it

[exotic patrol]

Apperanlty orders over 15 JOD do require a birth certificate

[unreal iron]

Jod

[exotic patrol]

Where the problem happened

They noticed that the brick didn't have a cable

[rose yacht]

he is losing on fps

[unreal iron]

Japanese Orangatang Dollar

[exotic patrol]

So they were like we don't need too much info

[exotic patrol]

Jordanian dinar

[unreal iron]

Do you pronounce the picture format Jif too

[exotic patrol]

No

[unreal iron]

I do

But 15 sounds...like really low

[exotic patrol]

But fr why did they need an ID

Problem is we stayed outside for like 15 mins me and the delivery driver talking to the Samsung higher ups

They just weren't having it

[unreal iron]

"Dawg it's a charger in a box, just take it back im going to walgreens"

[exotic patrol]

They did actually end up taking it back

[unreal iron]

Lmao

[exotic patrol]

The charger shouldn't even need an ID

[unreal iron]

Get a better one at walmart

It's a nice fast charger but like....you can get those anywhere

[exotic patrol]

About that

I tried and got scammed

The only reliable place I could find was a Samsung store like 25km away

[unreal iron]

How y9u get scammed qt a walmart

[exotic patrol]

I was like I might as well get it on delivery since it's free and it's only a day extra

[exotic patrol]

We don't have Walmart here

[unreal iron]

Oh

[exotic patrol]

The selection here is relatively low

[unreal iron]

Lol

[exotic patrol]

Any custom good chargers are pretty rare

Samsung directly was just my best option

[unreal iron]

Converted it

You have to show I'd any time you order something over $20

That's fucked up

That's like...EVERYTHING

[brave field]

@unreal iron The 7600 is very capable

[unreal iron]

Oh how do I go finding a mobo for it. Like for me we had to look for an lga 1184 or whatever. Whats amds name for the chip slot

[brave field]

pcpartpicker.com

put in 7600

[exotic patrol]

Noo

[brave field]

since he's experienced with PCs, leave the mobo slot blank and have him choose his own

[exotic patrol]

Anything under that you only need to show an ID

Anything above that you need more than ID

[unreal iron]

@brave field
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wGcVcH

[brave field]

not x

[unreal iron]

Not X what

[brave field]

7600

[unreal iron]

Oh

Why? Is the X irrelevant or for something else

I said some parts he may not need to splurge for unless he was doing machine learning and got an "ehhhhh" and he made a face

[snow rover]

it simply isn't worth paying extra for

[unreal iron]

Ok

[snow rover]

which has always been the case with ryzen x cpus

[brave field]

He's paying $40 more for a <500mhz overclock

[unreal iron]

Nah I'll take your word I switched it

Sapphire pulse or should I put something else

[snow rover]

pulse is the base model

if ultimate silence is the goal, a card with a beefier coolier might be in order

[unreal iron]

In tandem with the ice cooler

What is the step up from pulse

[snow rover]

nitro

i have the nitro+ 6950xt and it's very quiet

[unreal iron]

The skill in the middle

They have the fastest first word

Those seem to be the best, yes?

[snow rover]

7200 mt/s for amd seems like a waste

unless bios updates have done magic to how fast memory will reliably run

[unreal iron]

What is mt/s

[snow rover]

megatransfers per second

the measurement of speed for ram

[unreal iron]

The 2nd one?

No, the 3rd

Since it can be clocked

[snow rover]

they're different gpus

[unreal iron]

Well sure but one can be boosted and therefore have a longer life at the tail end right

[snow rover]

no

[exotic patrol]

Why don't you just crop

[snow rover]

the 7800 xt just doesn't have the boost clock marked correctly for some reason

[unreal iron]

Because that takes time

[exotic patrol]

Also is it only me or after one ui 6 the color palette only applies to Samsung apps

[unreal iron]

I have only had after like one-ui 9

[exotic patrol]

Hardly any

[unreal iron]

So the 2nd one is the one to set to part picker

[snow rover]

assuming the gpu of choice is a 7800 xt, yes

[unreal iron]

Ok

Thanks I sent the lift-off to him.with those 3 parts

[unreal iron]

What range-price ratio is ideal for that? I searched by first-word latency

[snow rover]

idk

i got 6000 mt/s because that seemed about the highest that would reasonably work with a 7800x3d

[brave field]

I like this kit on paper https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Pqt9TW/teamgroup-t-force-vulcan-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-5600-cl36-memory-flbd532g5600hc36bdc01

[unreal iron]

Why is 7200 bad then, it has room for improvement if it's bottlenecked

[snow rover]

you're paying for 1200 mt/s extra that you won't get any use out of

[unreal iron]

At the moment. Not even in future?

[snow rover]

ask amd

[unreal iron]

Seems like everything goes up eventually though doesn't it

[snow rover]

you cannot predict without insider information what memory compatibilty will be like in the future

also the performance uplift from memory speed is minimal

[brave field]

5600cl36 while being only $12 above the cheapest and fits the 32GB mentioned

[snow rover]

cl36 is like really slow for 5600 though

[unreal iron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HNZXsY/teamgroup-t-force-vulcan-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-flbd532g6000hc30dc01

[brave field]

Eh, you're right. I probably shouldn't chase savings that small with this budget. Still, a decent jump up seeing as there's 4800cl46 within $15

[unreal iron]

10ns for 30cl?

[snow rover]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/tbYmP6/gskill-ripjaws-s5-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-f5-6000j3040f16gx2-rs5w

this is the exact kit i have

[exotic patrol]

What is RAM that's more than 64gb used for

[snow rover]

chrome tabs

[exotic patrol]

Other than that

[snow rover]

productivity

[exotic patrol]

Yes like what

[snow rover]

good luck editing 8k raw footage on 8gb of ram

[brave field]

3d modeling/rigging/animation

[exotic patrol]

Makes sense now

[brave field]

Once you leave the desktop space, >64GB makes loads more sense

[cold elbow]

hol up a minute why the liquid freezer cost 140$

[brave field]

heavy VM use, for example

[exotic patrol]

What about servers

[unreal iron]

Freezer 2 360

[cold elbow]

it should be around 120

u know the 7600 is like super efficient cpu so a 360 is overkill

[cold elbow]

holly

get that 240

WAIT

WHAT THE FUCK

[snow rover]

even a cheap air cooler would be more than enough

[cold elbow]

420 is 120$ lmao

[unreal iron]

Gimme that Dead Silence perk

[cold elbow]

then 280 is good i guess

it comes with 140 fans which are quiter

[unreal iron]

500 watt gold psu yeah?

[cold elbow]

even the RGB version of the 360 is cheaper than non rgb 360

[cold elbow]

850 gold

[unreal iron]

Current demand, no mobo or ssd is just short of 300

[cold elbow]

i know

but you want dead silnet which means you want that psu fan off all the time or low speed

so 750 to 850 gold

[unreal iron]

Brands to get or avoid?

Oh there's titanium now too?

[cold elbow]

check these and buy the cheaper
corsair
seasonic
NZXT C series
EVGA
silverstone

[unreal iron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4ZRwrH/corsair-rm850e-2023-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020263-na

Cheapest 850 gold 80+

But needs an atx size

[cold elbow]

ofc

[unreal iron]

So we're automatically mid size tower or bigger

[cold elbow]

just make sure it has that button for silent mode

[exotic patrol]

What is ethernet on mobile used for

[unreal iron]

Where lol

[cold elbow]

should be next to the power button

small button

[cold elbow]

you can give or take internet from your phone by cable

[exotic patrol]

So use your phone as an ethernet wifi hotspot

[cold elbow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YYZ9TW/nzxt-c850-2022-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-pa-8g1bb-us

[exotic patrol]

Basically router

[cold elbow]

i sometimes use my phone as wifi adapter for pc with no wifi

[cold elbow]

or connect my pc to the internet by 4G

[unreal iron]

I still can't find it with all those red arrows

[cold elbow]

i personally have that psu and its amazing

[exotic patrol]

But that's usb tethering not ethernet tethering

[cold elbow]

its kinda is

[brave field]

phone + ethernet cable makes for a good parsec/steamlink client for a TV

and many phones support the same networking and troubleshooting options as desktops via Termux or desktop-mode launchers

[exotic patrol]

My phone is capped to 270mbps on 5ghz

Some guy tried to troubleshoot why on termux for like 2 hours

It was such an awful process

And we got nothing out of it

Lol

[brave field]

where wifi is involved, "wifi bad" is the most likely answer

[unreal iron]

Should.i just select fanless

[cold elbow]

fan starts when its needed

[exotic patrol]

But still should be more than 270 mbps for a 900mbps connection

[brave field]

not necessarily

[cold elbow]

which in my case
almost never

[brave field]

270mbps from which two points?

[exotic patrol]

When it is like that on higher end phones then yes

[exotic patrol]

How you mean

[brave field]

How are you getting 270mbps? From your phone to your modem? From your phone to something else on your LAN? To someone else's speedtest server?

[exotic patrol]

Oh

It's just on speedtest by ookla

Using the ISP's server

[unreal iron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fxGhP6/corsair-rm1000e-2023-1000-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020264-na

[cold elbow]

[unreal iron]

No button but 1000 is more than enough to never trigger the fan right

[brave field]

You can probably get moderately higher speeds testing from your phone on wifi to another device in your house on ethernet, but not much else. Advertised internet speeds and link speeds are on-paper only

[cold elbow]

just get the one i told you about

[exotic patrol]

But why do other phones get around 550 mbps and mine seems to be capped at 270

Speedtest shows the speed very stable at 270

[cold elbow]

im too lazy to explain the efficeny curve

[brave field]

Do those other phones get those speeds in the same location/building, all other factors identical?

[exotic patrol]

Exact same place

That's why most people explain it as a hardware limitation

[brave field]

hardware limitation, maybe

Do those other phones use the same SoC?

[exotic patrol]

No

[brave field]

probably hardware then. Unfortunate.

I do wonder how many people are using phones in a way where gigabit internet speeds are worth the extra battery use

[snow rover]

do not buy this

the rme series have notoriously loud fans

[unreal iron]

I added the one melon said. The c850 or something

[jovial tide]

Soo my issue is that my wifi adaptor of pc is far away from my wifi box, and it is kinda weak but my phone catches my wifi well here, from close my wifi adaptor catches internet really well it's just that it's range ain't that far away, is there any app through which I can share my phone wifi with pc? Idk why but using usb therting doesn't work

Simply am asking for wirelessly wifi therting if that makes any sense

[cold elbow]

how about you buy a cheap acess point and connect it by cable then try to get as close as you can to the router

or just use a cable

[brave field]

^Nothing on your phone will be worthwhile if you can't use USB tethering

[exotic patrol]

[brave field]

Tried bluetooth tethering before. Would not recommend.

[exotic patrol]

😭

500 kbps

[frigid echo]

So a friend has an x99 board laying around. Wondering if it would still be good to slap an i7 6850 in there or go xeon? Got spare parts laying around it'd be like a project pc or if good enough good for something useful. Like plex server or such.

[jovial tide]

I see alright

[jovial tide]

It has usb tethering option but it doesn't work like it is greyed out when when I connect the charging cable

[wispy mesa]

oh yea for sure, chuck proxmox on it and you got a nice VM server for game servers

[lilac heath]

Which phone is it?

[cold elbow]

Maybe you need a better cable

[lost fossil]

xeons go for as low as $5 on aliexpress, but they might need ecc ram

$8 for 12 cores

[exotic patrol]

Is that even real

[lost fossil]

yes

[frigid echo]

Heck ya, Russian dirt cheap xeons. And ya I got the ecc ram

Though I can't remember if the x99 can run either. 🤔

[cold elbow]

Slow ass cores and expensive motherboard

[lost fossil]

it can, i have a xeon+ecc ddr4 in an asus x99 board

[frigid echo]

Nice.

[fickle finch]

INTEL CORE I5 13400F, H610, 16GB 3600MHZ RAM, RTX 4070 12GB, 512GB, GAMEMAX BRUFEN C1, 750W.

PSU is deepcool
RAM is Kingston
Motherboard Asus Prime

Opinions?

[exotic patrol]

Is the ram dual channel and is it ddr4 or ddr5

[cold elbow]

GUYSSSSSS

[rose yacht]

why 512 gb

you'll be full withing 10 minutes of booting

[cold elbow]

Amd made yet another AM4 cpu that is amazing

[rose yacht]

which one

[cold elbow]

5700x3D for like what 249$

[exotic patrol]

What

[exotic patrol]

Oh that's nice

[cold elbow]

Ikrrr

They also made 5600GT

With radeon graphics

[jovial tide]

Mi A2

[jovial tide]

Got the cable, still ain't working

[lilac heath]

What do you guys think of the specs

[wispy mesa]

funner to build

[lost fossil]

pointless question without the pricetag

[rose yacht]

Cpu might bottleneck the gpu

[rose yacht]

Also true

[fickle finch]

1485 dollars equivalent

[exotic patrol]

For that?

Ehhh

[wispy mesa]

wow thats kinda expensive

hmm

4070

could wait for 4070 Super

few days

Anyone know of a pcb based balance charger for a 5S2P 18650 liion pack.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/255694637721

maybe this

assuming its parts are worthy

[fickle finch]

1.5k is too much for those specs?

it is a prebuilt after all

[wispy mesa]

its ok

but you can probably find lower

youll probably run out of storage in a few days

[fickle finch]

i have another pc offer same specs except cpu is ryzen 7 5600x but comes with liquid cooler which comes to 1.8k dollars

because it can overheat

300 dollars more for ryzen 5 7600x

[wispy mesa]

a r7 5600x?

[fickle finch]

yes

Oh sorry

7600x

[wispy mesa]

that means its ddr5

what ram?

[fickle finch]

same as that one but ddr5

[wispy mesa]

what speed?

[fickle finch]

speed of?

5200mhz for ddr5

[wispy mesa]

low but ok

[fickle finch]

that upgrade for 300 dollars more

[wispy mesa]

is this USD?

[fickle finch]

i currency converted

[wispy mesa]

ah oke

[fickle finch]

not

[lilac heath]

There's no R7 5600x🤔

[fickle finch]

yea i made a mistake

[lilac heath]

Maybe u should stick with AM4

[wispy mesa]

made this for 1,232 and using win 10 no license

i tried to find the same specs

[fickle finch]

i got get 1 year warranty benefits btw

[lilac heath]

[wispy mesa]

these got 2+ on each item

[fickle finch]

oleg what you think of those specs

1.5k dollars

[lost fossil]

i was gonna say that "currency converted" means there's a big markup caused by import tax and everything so the deal is not as bad as it might seem at first after considering usa prices

[wispy mesa]

thats is true

[fickle finch]

oh

[wispy mesa]

but mine is also in aud currency that i converted

so it half balances out

[fickle finch]

i am also getting a 1440p monitor

[wispy mesa]

dont get mine, im just showing you the same specs as a non prebuilt

[fickle finch]

this

[lost fossil]

then i was gonna mention how here where i live the prices can get wild sometimes
but then i guess i still got a good deal

[lilac heath]

U can also wait for 4070 Super to launch and 5700x3d

[wispy mesa]

yea

i would do that

wait for those

theyre similar prices but much better

[fickle finch]

my laptop is on its last leg and i kinda need something for work and gaming on the meantime

[lilac heath]

Yea

[lost fossil]

tell it to not skip the leg day for like 3 more weeks

[fickle finch]

lol

[lost fossil]

bc 4070s and 5700x3d are coming out real soon

[lilac heath]

[wispy mesa]

🙃

[fickle finch]

my only worry is the summer here the heat with the combination of ryzen heat

[wispy mesa]

ryzen is cooler than intel most of the time

[fickle finch]

ryzen produces more heat then intel

but better performance

[lilac heath]

Well it's the opposite

[lost fossil]

it's just because intel uses a bigger piece of silicon so the heat dissipation area is bigger

[fickle finch]

i see

[wispy mesa]

ryzen may be warmer but it doesnt get super hot after performance like intel does

[fickle finch]

is your pc specs similiar to the one i showed?

[wispy mesa]

my r7 7600 @ 5.25 ghz on all cores sits at 65c

[fickle finch]

wait

we got similiar specs then rai

[wispy mesa]

similar yes

well you dont have them yet but yea

[fickle finch]

i was thinking of running monster hunter world but i think it'll be unstable

Monster hunter rise on the other hand

[wispy mesa]

it wont be

my friend runs that on a 2060 and a r5 3600

[fickle finch]

wow

but on low i assume

[wispy mesa]

medium i think

that game isnt that intensive

[fickle finch]

world or rise?

[wispy mesa]

its mininum specs are a 1050

world

[fickle finch]

holy fuck

and our gpu's are like double his

[wispy mesa]

something like that

[fickle finch]

ill go with the one i posted

[unreal iron]

@rose yacht Why a ryzen 5 over a ryzen 7 or 9

@lost fossil I was recommended a ryzen 5 for gaming, why not a 7 or 9?

An r5 7600

@fickle finch you around?

[lost fossil]

we're at the stage rn when a midrange cpu is more powerful than the flagships of a few years ago, and games' demands for cpus haven't increased dramatically for 12 cores to be a requirement

[unreal iron]

Would it get him more time? His turn around question is could he get more time on not having to buy something new by spending the extra

[lost fossil]

see if he can get the r7 7800x3d

[unreal iron]

Longer life perspective kinda deal?

[lost fossil]

yes

it's the best cpu for gaming currently

[unreal iron]

Should I bump the cooler from the liquid freeze 240 to the 360 for the extra heat?

Brand recommendations for mobo?

[exotic patrol]

I'm just messing around I don't even know what the convo is

[wispy mesa]

[rose yacht]

have i said that?

probably due to budget ig

[unreal iron]

It was just what got mentioned, he changed it to a 7

are they supposed to be this awful

[plucky raft]

No

[exotic patrol]

Yes

For high quality standards they are pretty bad

[snow rover]

i find it interesting that rtings says these are bulky and not stable on the head

but this is the tightest headphone i have ever tried

i could ski jump and they would stay on

[exotic patrol]

You don't even know the half

Which headset is it

[snow rover]

steelseries arctis nova 1

[exotic patrol]

Ofcourse steelseries

[snow rover]

i paid 15€ and that went to charity for these

[exotic patrol]

They are ridiculously tight

It fits my head by like 1cm

I have an arctis 3

[snow rover]

which costs more?

[sly wharf]

Is there a long time Linux user here or at least someone that has some knowledge about it?

I'm not that bright with coding nor software in general, I managed to avoid bricking my pc twice because of trying to switch back to Windows from PopOS

[exotic patrol]

Sennheiser ofcourse

[snow rover]

but that's 1 pair of cushions

[exotic patrol]

Oh

So 1 pair of sennheiser cushions or one gaming headset

I'm gonna go with the sennheiser cushions

Was I right

[snow rover]

yes

the headset is 69.99 msrp

the cushions are 72.00

[exotic patrol]

I feel the original solder was lead free but I replaced that solder with leaded

[snow rover]

idk looks kinda dull

[exotic patrol]

What OS do you use

[snow rover]

windows 11 pro

like a normal person

[exotic patrol]

What do you dislike most about it

[snow rover]

microsoft

[exotic patrol]

Fair point

[snow rover]

i love misspelling something in the windows search and because that doesn't exist on my pc it launches a bing search

such a great feature, especially given you can't disable it without registry editing

[exotic patrol]

Do you have any complaints about game bar

[snow rover]

i don't know what that is

[exotic patrol]

What happens when you press the windows key then g

[snow rover]

nothing

[exotic patrol]

Oh that's interesting

The biggest complaint I heard about windows 11 is you being unable to remove xbox game bar without using a cmd command

Apperantly it's also very broken on windows 11

But good you don't have it

[snow rover]

apparently i do

[exotic patrol]

Ok just don't launch it

Or you will want to kill Microsoft even more

[snow rover]

oh and onedrive

that fucking thing

made sure to disable it completely before i installed anything

[exotic patrol]

Makes a backup of the most random folders and messes up game files

[snow rover]

then i logged into a microsoft account to download something from ms store and it immediately wanted to link onedrive

god it is so fucking annoying

[exotic patrol]

I remember I spent like 2 hours trying to figure out how one drive works when a guy in tech support kept getting the files altered error

Turns out one drive was placing some funny files in the game files

Idk how that even happened

I’m thinking of switching from 4070 to the super version but is it really that good

[arctic yarrow]

4070 to 4070 Super? Not worth it IMO.

[tidal nymph]

No I don’t have any I was gonna get the 4070 but I’m getting the super instead

[arctic yarrow]

Oh, in that case go for it

4070 super is a better deal at the moment

I havent had a problem with it

[arctic yarrow]

Sometimes yeah.

Their anti-adblock stuff is causing issues for even people who don't use adblock.

[rose yacht]

dumb yt tbh

[next garden]

when they were testing out the anti adblock stuff i had my adblock extension off and it still wasnt letting me watch videos and it took me forever to realize that it was opera gx's built-in adblock that was giving me issues

My Lian Li fans aren't getting registered on their Lconnect3

I recently switched to Windows 11

[cold elbow]

Can u recognize them on other software or maybe in devices manager

If they connect to a hub then nvm that and make sure the hub is connected and recognized

my hdr keeps breaking whenever i open settings

[cold elbow]

also windows 11?

cleaning products for PC what to use and not?

[jovial tide]

Isopropyl?

[cold elbow]

u only need to invest in an air blower and piece of cloth

[fickle finch]

not compressed air?

[cold elbow]

nope

compressed air is not actually air

or

umm

not the same room air cus that is very hard to compress

[fickle finch]

oh

[cold elbow]

one of these bad boys can clean your pc in matter of seconds but make sure you hold the fans or just dont let them spin too fast and it can also be helful to clean your home or electronics

they are also cheap

[fickle finch]

thx

[supple walrus]

Depends on the source

If it's from a can? Nope

If it's from an actual air compressor? Then yeah, it is

[cold elbow]

Pretty sure he meant a can cus air compressors Usually in workshops

[supple walrus]

You can get small ones that are good for computer work

[lost fossil]

you know how you can turn an air freshener into a flamethrower with a lighter

does that work with "compressed air"?

[supple walrus]

No.

[lost fossil]

what if you turn the can upside down

[supple walrus]

How an aerosol flamethrower works is combining fuel (the chemicals in the can, - the propellant gases mostly, ie propane, butane)
With oxygen - the air in the environment
And ignition - the lighter
It'd work with canned air because they have the canned propellants, but not compressed air, because that is literally just air from the environment, meaning there's no fuel

[lost fossil]

i'm talking about the canned air of course

that's what everyone means when they say compressed air

personally, i used a plastic turbocharger like the one that melon posted

[supple walrus]

If you want a 'compressed air' flamethrower, you'd need a seperate fuel source, which is essentially what an actual flamethrower is, pressurised air being used to project an ignited fuel at a distance

[supple walrus]

With something like that it would not work, because that's compressed air, not canned air
No fuel

It doesn't matter what's in the can, could be deodorant, air, anything
What matters is the aerosol propellant in the can

No propellant means no fuel means no fire

[lost fossil]

i was never talking about the actual compressed air that comes out of an air compressor or an electric duster like the one melon posted

but i guess

[supple walrus]

Canned air =/= compressed air

[lost fossil]

i know

[wispy mesa]

it was a joke

[cold elbow]

Yeah but an air blower is probably a lot better.

[supple walrus]

They do exactly the same job
Compressor would give you more precision too, because of the directed hose

+smaller

So easier to store

[cold elbow]

Donno i just plug my blower and blow the computer for 5 seconds and it's all clean
It has large radios of airflow and a LOT of air since i have a 700 Watt unit.

[lost fossil]

sis same
although mine is a measly 600w

🔫

[cold elbow]

So creative

[junior flax]

i use a hairdryer on cool setting to get majority

then a soft paint brush to get in smaller areas

[cold elbow]

Im slightly concerned about that power extension

[lyric idol]

you can also turn your hand into a burnt hand when the can explodes

[lyric idol]

Yeah that could be rated in excess of the power boards limitations. Usually they can manage around 2400 watts, I reckon that compressor would be a solid 500-600 ish. Really depends what else is attached

[cold elbow]

600watt average not peak or start up power draw

[ripe bluff]

lf2 to do the 10 mio challenge

[lyric idol]

well yeah the transient when it starts up would be pretty large thats why they come with protections in the power board as well as the main circuit and spometimes the device

[cold elbow]

True

[lost fossil]

microsoft is not wrong when you still haven't finished setting it up after 4️⃣ years

[exotic patrol]

Just kill the oobe

Idk what it's setting up

[snow rover]

data collection

[exotic patrol]

Then I'm definitely killing it

[cold elbow]

You can't

[exotic patrol]

You can

You just have to replace sticky notes with cmd

Then kill the oobe process

[cold elbow]

Yes ok but

U can't stop data collection

[exotic patrol]

Sadly

[cold elbow]

U can reduce but not stop

[exotic patrol]

I recently started playing ori and the will of the wisps

[cold elbow]

At this point data collection is just a waste of bandwidth to me

[exotic patrol]

I was talking about it a bit

My youtube feed got filled up with ori playthroughs and speedruns

Not really windows but still data collection is everywhere

And when Cora started mentioning sennheiser headphones

I kept getting sennheiser news in discovery

It's insane

[cold elbow]

Maybe a lot of it is happening by your keyboard itself

For me a lot of my apps struggle to figure out what i like.

Also using custom DNS that blocks a lot of trackers

[brave field]

Laptops that have soldered ram + a sodimm slot

What exactly explains the frequency and timings changing mid-use for the soldered ram?

Mine jumps between 2133cl18 to 3200cl22 based on if I'm doing something like video playback. Shouldn't this mess with the overall system clock?

I'm guessing it's a power saving feature but... why save power on the ram of all things?

[cold elbow]

Especially on ddr 4

Makes no sense

[exotic patrol]

Can 5ghz in some instances be better than ethernet

I know it sounds like a dumb question but I found an article that claimed that

[cold elbow]

No.

Unless you are running cat 5

[exotic patrol]

is Wi-Fi 7 faster than cat 6

[cold elbow]

Cat 6 goes to 10 gigs

If your devices support it.

[exotic patrol]

I don't need that

Anything above 250 mbps is good enough for me

[cold elbow]

Then cat 5e is fine

[exotic patrol]

I don't really do anything that much network related

[exotic patrol]

Couldn't find one so ended up going with cat 6

[cold elbow]

Good

It's more durable and future proof

[exotic patrol]

But my router doesn't allow more than 1000mb/s linking speed on ethernet anyway and the plan is 1 gigabit

So anything more would be useless

[cold elbow]

As i mentioned

Cat6 is better if the price difference isn't enormous

[exotic patrol]

Barely

[cold elbow]

And especially if you are planning to run that cable into your walls

[exotic patrol]

Funny I know but

My xbox is in the living room

You can't really wire it inside the walls that easily

What I ended up doing is putting the cable under the carpet under one of the sofas

Its hardly visible

[lost fossil]

cat5e does 10 too, at short enough distances

according to the tube on the internet

[cold elbow]

Yeah and only good quality

It can do 2.5 so yeahhhh

What i was talking about is cat6 has some extra shielding that makes it durable

[exotic patrol]

[dark fog]

Hello community, just a quick question, I bought an Asus Tuf F15 with Intel I7 and RTX 3050 Ti 4GB, my problem is that sometimes my temperature rises inexplicably high because usually I have 80-85° CPU and 70-75° GPU and when it's raising its around 90-95° CPU and 85-90° GPU, I don't have a clue why does that sometimes and I'm talking the same game, same settings in armoury crate, also since I always play plugged in I set the battery charge to 60%.
Does anyone have any Idea??

[cold elbow]

Actually 95C is normal for the asus F15

It's just how gaming laptops roll
What is happening is when you have more cpu load your temperature goes up
Cus usually you are GPU bound while gaming.

If you wanna make sure of that just run any cpu stress test.

[snow rover]

at least it's portable tho

[lyric idol]

You should see the price of some of the cat 7 I work with

This stuffy is beefy and messy, it's filled with glue so when you try and terminate it it gets very sticky

[latent drum]

I got this from the tech scrap and other stuff for like 44$

[exotic patrol]

Not bad

[latent drum]

Sadly the owner replaced the fans on it with molex frgb fans 💀

[exotic patrol]

😭

[latent drum]

They were a smoker too
I fully disassembled thr case and cleaned every Cm with a sponge and brush

I thought this was rust
Turns out it was orange nail polish

Its very clean now
And i like it
Just the fucking molex fans man

[latent drum]

They probably didn't know the ARGB fans needed a software so they just got these

I will keep them for now
Until i find a nice cheap set of ARGB fans

I also ordered a powersupply

https://www.deepcool.com/products/PowerSupplyUnits/powersupplyunits/PQ650M-80-PLUS-Gold-Modular-Power-Supply/2021/14012.shtml

[cold elbow]

You can upgrade it massively by buying arctic p12 value pack

[lost fossil]

arctic value pack is god tier

[latent drum]

The first upgrade iam doing is replacing all the fan screws with M3 30MM screws

[lost fossil]

why

[latent drum]

Lemme check it out

[latent drum]

Because its just better

[lost fossil]

i guess

[latent drum]

Allows me to screw and unscrew the front fans from outside rather than inside

[lost fossil]

if your case has m3 holes for m3 screws

most of the time that's not the case (ba dum tss)

[latent drum]

When the fan set cost as much as the tech scrap i got lmfao

I will probably buy it later though

I dont want to arse with molex fans going 100% all the time

(Molex fan controller when)

[lost fossil]

you can "convert" molex to use 7v instead of 12v which will make them significantly quieter

but it can be dangerous if you forget that you did that

[latent drum]

Oh man

Its 2007 all over again

[cold elbow]

Yes but placing the fans away from the front mesh holes can reduce noise due to turbulence.

So install the fans on the inside while screws from the outside.

[latent drum]

5 Non RGB fans for 33$
Thats actually nice

PMW and all

Still need a controller

[lost fossil]

i don't understand the obsession with pwm

they can still be controlled with mobo or software so who cares

why u need a controller?

you can daisy chain them

I dont like daisy chaining more than 2 fans

Well it depends on the power lmfao

u can run them all from one header

Rn I have a S20+

Great phone but its old now

Before it I had a S9+

I have a iPhone 11 pro rn

I like it because it has rounded edges

I like the looks of Samsung way more

Looks more premium and badass

[jovial tide]

4070 super's performance is similar to 7800xt

[arctic yarrow]

How's the price between the two?

[cold elbow]

Or to the 6800 xt

[cold elbow]

Are you trying to plug your fans by a molex and let them run full speed all the time?

[arctic yarrow]

No, the fans are connected via molex

We were talking about a way to connect the fan to a motherboard header via a molex to fan header adapter.

[cold elbow]

Oh trash tier fans

[arctic yarrow]

Yup

[cold elbow]

Even the trash fans i owned before came with molex and fan header

[latent drum]

Dont

D O NOT

Call them trash teir

You know they cost

1 DOLLARS AND 40 CENTS EACH!!

The RGB is fixed
Aka its personality is Strong
I dont want any no body to address my RGB

And finally
Its 12V
Yes 12 mother fucking cylinders

Fr though
Iam getting a pair of 3 pack fans with my monitor at the end of the month
