Its just a player

U click on video

Video plays

[rapid lake]

It’s not just a player

It’s a player I’ve been used to for so long

[foggy pebble]

im using gpt 4 for free

the stanndard model

heres my functional sign up form which uses php for the errors displayed on the page it has username length, password complexity etc what else should it have? it also logs ips in the database too

[cold elbow]

Why would you need to log ips?

[foggy pebble]

every social network needs to

lmao

for law enforcement purposes

[cold elbow]

Smh

[foggy pebble]

discord logs your ip

[hexed crystal]

thats not true lol

[foggy pebble]

what if creeps use my site and I have to report them to the law

[hexed crystal]

well their ip address wont help you

😭

[spring sleet]

What are u planning to run in the back end??

[foggy pebble]

only if their dumb enough not to use a vpn

heh

[hexed crystal]

i dont think you know what an ip address is

lmao

i could give you my ip right now and the most you'd find is where my ISP is located

[spring sleet]

I ran Flask. For communicating between backed and front end I ran Javascript even though I hate it the most

[foggy pebble]

its like an identification number every device gets

[hexed crystal]

no

thats a mac address

[foggy pebble]

php

[spring sleet]

Hmm

[foggy pebble]

yes I know ips dont give addresses unless you have a subpoena

[spring sleet]

Flask would be much better

But it’s up to u

[foggy pebble]

yeah but im coding with xampp

[hexed crystal]

no.. ip addresses dont give addresses period

thats not how they work

[foggy pebble]

you havent seen any doxes lmao

[hexed crystal]

😭

l337 hax0r here

[foggy pebble]

this dude was doxing people by calling their isp and pretending to be law enforcement with a subpoena 😭

thats called social engineering

[hexed crystal]

that may work with some smaller less notable ISPs but any credible isp wouldnt fall for that

[spring sleet]

Uhm no, they do but a very rough estimate. Say if there is a data centre near me, they will give its location not mine

[foggy pebble]

yeah probably bad isp

ive seen people get doxed by that

all you gotta do is lie to their isp

lmao

[spring sleet]

Countries like Germany are dense with data centres. The ip address of such countries are more useful in determining their location

[hexed crystal]

people usually get doxxed by including information in their profile that links them to facebook where they either give too much info or are related to someone who gives too much info

[hexed crystal]

bro no

lmao

[foggy pebble]

a good hacker can find an address

if a hacker is determined enough

[hexed crystal]

you cant just call an isp and be like "i have a subpeona, give me this persons address"

☠️

[spring sleet]

Maybe if he somehow gets the Internet service provider location instead.

[foggy pebble]

idk if thats the method they used but its something like that

[hexed crystal]

i think someone bullshitted you because that is just not how it works

[foggy pebble]

its literally the first thing I learned in cybersecurity

[hexed crystal]

like for them to do that, they would have to PROVE the subpeona

and have a warrant

[spring sleet]

Bulshat * it is the past tense of bullshit

[hexed crystal]

i think you may be subject to the dunning kruger effect

[foggy pebble]

ive seen very good doxes with addresses in them

even pics of their houses 💀

[fickle finch]

would someone be able to recreate an ai neural network like clifford eventually in the future?

[foggy pebble]

you haven't seen what I've seen bro

[hexed crystal]

yeah that (rarely) happens when they give either names or locations that they are near and somone malicious does a very simple google search and just uses their brain

[foggy pebble]

Microsoft's AI already wants to be a God 💀

im concerned for Copilot if it wants to be a God

[spring sleet]

Elongated Musketeer will like to have a word with u

[fickle finch]

💀

[spring sleet]

Is t Avon hertz a German dude?

[fickle finch]

im not sure

[spring sleet]

German American techpreneur

Hertz are German

[foggy pebble]

but like how do you off yourself over AI

unless it told him to do it

[fickle finch]

i dont think they knew much about AI and 100% believed in it

[foggy pebble]

yeah

they added more safety regulations to it now

[civic cloud]

hello any idea when i record using obs and then when i playback, it playbacks as normal and completes the playback, but if i fastforward, the video glitches by sluttering

[snow rover]

are you using fragmented mp4

[lost fossil]

sluttering 💀

[lost fossil]

do you record at a high bitrate? is the drive you record to fast enough to manage the accelerated playback?

if you record to a hard drive, it could be that it's alright for normal playback, but when you fast forward, the data transfer increases and the drive can no longer keep up

[prisma trellis]

[nova steppe]

oh, digital logic?

[latent drum]

When i submit assignments or papers i usually add silly unintentional spelling mistakes to avoid false positives for AI detectors

Like duplicated letters or missing letter, i do it infrequently and make sure its on a very simple words, so its obvious it was unintentional

[foggy pebble]

I wonder if they care about AI coding in computer science classes

Like if it was generated by AI

Funny how ChatGPT sucks so bad at CSS but if I tell it to use a framework like Tailwind it’s pretty good at it

[flint haven]

Hello
I recently got back into GTA V and have encountered a frustrating audio issue. While sound functions perfectly across all other applications on my computer, there’s no audio coming from GTA V. I’ve tried several troubleshooting steps, but unfortunately, none have resolved the issue, which has significantly impacted the gameplay experience.

I’ve verified my sound settings in Windows and within the game itself, ensuring my default audio device is correctly selected. I also checked that the volume is set properly, but the issue persists with GTA V remaining completely silent.

Could you please provide any guidance on potential solutions or steps I might try to resolve this? I’d appreciate any help in getting my audio back so I can fully enjoy the game.

[lost fossil]

first, #gta-tech-support
second, go to settings - sound - app volume and device preferences - see if gta is using the correct audio output device
third, in game, go to settings - voice chat and check that sfx volume during voice chat is not at 0

[flint haven]

I got told by another staff to ask here and there first of all.

[lost fossil]

anyway, i just opened the latest steve nexus video and that reminded me... on average, new intel cpu naming scheme has less syllables on average than the old one, why are people still complaining

[lost fossil]

there would be a more appropriate channel to ask for support with that than here

[snow rover]

i bought this bike light and sent the included cable to narnia because it was like 30 cm long

[cold elbow]

Maybe because your fps is set to unlimited?

[junior flax]

problem i may have a virus

windows defender will not open

wont open thru this jus gets stuck on the button

[junior flax]

(also crashes my settings)

tried resetting wont work

also has 0 bytes

wat to do

and yup, 7 detections on malwarebytes ugh

how to reinstall defender now?

as it seems the viruses nuked it

[snow rover]

have you considered

[junior flax]

probs best bet

but losing all my files is painful

[junior flax]

would i lose all my files?

[snow rover]

yes of course

[junior flax]

ffs

best bet tho ig

[snow rover]

when you have a computer compromised by malware you probably don't want to keep the files

[junior flax]

w

would this work

whats best way going about this

[snow rover]

using the media creation tool and a flash drive

[junior flax]

i dont have a flash drive

[lost fossil]

a flash drive setted up (yes) with the media tool on another pc that is not infected

[snow rover]

the store has flash drives

[junior flax]

ill have to order on amazon

[lost fossil]

imagine not having a 1tb 2230/2242 ssd installed in a smol "2004 thumb drive"-sized external enclosure

[junior flax]

never needed a usb 🤷‍♂️

[lost fossil]

no usb-tches?

[junior flax]

only irl bitches sadly 😔

[snow rover]

i used an sd card with a usb reader to reset an xbox i bricked

god that took fucking forever

[prisma trellis]

I managed to code the bot to turn an led on, except it's supposed to turn off and on every second

[cold elbow]

Or use ventoy

[junior flax]

oh ok

[cobalt cobalt]

It's on like 250 so yea maybe

Also it's back to 25%

Hopefully pc survives overnight 🙏 (it will)

[wispy mesa]

whats the hardware like?

[lost fossil]

didn't work for strelec pe

[exotic patrol]

you don't need a usb

Just partition 8gb of your C: and make it a simple volume then add the installation media to it and using easybcd set it as a dualboot

it's practically the same thing

then after you're done reinstalling windows delete the 8gb volume and extend it back to C:

even better if you add an unattend file to the root installation media to skip the oobe and installation steps (except disk selection)

[lost fossil]

yeah and make the malware infect that too to have a compromised installation from the get-go

[cold elbow]

A

[exotic patrol]

by that logic then the flash drive would also get infected

[snow rover]

not if you make it on a clean machine

kebor

[rose yacht]

what the fuck is that

30%?

[snow rover]

hmm

[lost fossil]

might as well

https://youtu.be/YIEJJWnXEC0?t=533 literally big if true

[civic cloud]

Might as well get a steno keyboard instead

[junior flax]

not if i boot directly into bios to change boot drive tho right?

[nova steppe]

He meant making the bootable usb from the infected pc

What’s normal RAM usage for windows 10

[exotic patrol]

2gb idle

[rapid lake]

Does it matter how fast the RAM is

[exotic patrol]

unless you're gaming or doing fast tasks

[rapid lake]

No I mean at idle

[lost fossil]

no

[rapid lake]

I’m using 3.8gb at idle wtf

Well I don’t know what background apps are open hold on

Discord was open

Now it’s 3.2

[exotic patrol]

go to performance then cpu and see how many processes

[rapid lake]

102

[exotic patrol]

ok not that bad

what's using the most amount of ram

[rapid lake]

News and interests

I should run a bloatware script

It’s using 112mb

[exotic patrol]

not really

what are your specs

[snow rover]

install tiny10 or something like that

[exotic patrol]

I would install windows 10 iot enterprise ltsc

I don't like to use debloating scripts or custom ISOs

ltsc is already debloated enough and is official so

[rapid lake]

Behold

i7 7700
8gb DDR3 RAM
GT640

Wait no

16gb ram

[snow rover]

baller

[rapid lake]

Yes

[exotic patrol]

then why are you that concerned about 3gb on idle

[rapid lake]

Very baller

[rapid lake]

Are you saying, better specs means < RAM at idle?

I’d just rather have more RAM in case I want to open a shitload of stuff at the same time

Which I only occasionally do

Game + discord + browser with multiple tabs + whatsapp + something I’ve been procrastinating on doing since forever

[exotic patrol]

ye but that extra 1gb that a debloating script or ltsc would get you is not gonna make a difference in practice

so you're fine

[rapid lake]

Well

You’re probably right

[exotic patrol]

I doubt the cpu would even let you handle 16gb that smoothly anyway

[rapid lake]

Do you think it can run autocad smoothly?

Because I’m gonna need that soon

[snow rover]

it's probably fine

[compact sierra]

I bought this Bluetooth receiver will it let me connect my soundbar to my home theater receiver

Bought it from a dollar store

[lost fossil]

should've bought a fiio btr11 like me

[snow rover]

fiio swag

wait what it's only 20 bucks

[compact sierra]

It says xtreme Bluetooth receiver and mic and made in china

[snow rover]

xtreme!!!!

[compact sierra]

You know that brand?

[snow rover]

nobody does

[lost fossil]

well it's a smol entry model so it makes sense

[snow rover]

i bet those things are about 7 cents on taobao

[exotic patrol]

if it wants to use the gpu then not at all but if it's rendering 2d or simple 3d without hardware acceleration then it will be fine

[compact sierra]

Funny enough they're $22.00 on ebay

[lost fossil]

they know that there are people who would pay $22 for that

i mean there is one here in this channel right now

[compact sierra]

Hey atleast i got it at a dollar store

[snow rover]

are they in the room with us right now

damn bro fiio btr11 seems pretty swag for 20 buck

Anyone know why my fucking TV doesn't output sound through the soundbar even though it's connected via HDMI to both eARC ports and the output setting is set to ARC?

TV is Panasonic TX55 HXW584 and Samsung HW Q60T

[lost fossil]

did you enable HDMI CEC?

did you restart the tv?

[civic cloud]

The TV manual says it enables automatically if you enable HDMI ARC sound output

[civic cloud]

Turned it off and on

These are the manuals

(give it some time)

[lost fossil]

idk, my tv has a toggle for cec

and arc didn't work until i restarted the tv

and i decided to not use it anyway bc the delay is atrocious and with optical it's like 3 times worse... ended up using a 3.5 from a cheap USB sound card directly into the sound bar

[snow rover]

why do you have a soundbar

[prisma trellis]

Managed to successfully code my robot in class today, turned out my stupid ass mistyped a number

High and Low were supposed to be the same numbers but I accidentally put 12 in Low and 13 in high when both were supposed to be 13

[lost fossil]

why wouldn't i?

i mean i know why but for a smol room a soundbar is more than good enough

[snow rover]

meme product

[lost fossil]

but still infinitely better than built-in tv spookers

[snow rover]

i've been looking for another pair of speakers but nothing interesting on the market 😦

[cold elbow]

U should buy a 3000$ speakers instead of a soundbar

[snow rover]

you should buy $100 speakers instead of a soundbar

[bold hinge]

It’s better?

[lost fossil]

vrm temps are better on the elite ax

but that doesn't mean that the gaming xax board should be avoided

it's alright

actually now that i look at it again

77c is valid and acceptable but 53c is better

if the gaming one is significantly cheaper, then get the gaming one, if the difference is neglegible, should probably go for amogus pro or elite

Tcl is already known as a good brand

Hisense is getting there

[lost fossil]

right but what about their other "adjacent" stuff

for example, my sister wants to yoink my old tv but i know that its speakers are dogshit (as they always are) and i remember seeing tcl and hisense soundbars (don't tell cora about this)

[lilac heath]

Still nowhere close to Samsung,Sony or LG

[cold elbow]

They probably use the same panel and hardware

And usually much cheaper and with more features.

Maybe the exterior build quality is better on LG or Samsung and some software and warranty.

[lilac heath]

They are more reliable than TCL

[cold elbow]

Are they really?

[lilac heath]

Had one of the TCL oled in office and it got red line in just 1 year of usage💀

Also yellow patches

And after sales service is very bad

[cold elbow]

I like watching a channel called rting and they also a big website

They do really good job with testing monitors and TVs

[lilac heath]

Yeah i've heard of that website

[cold elbow]

Yeah tcl might have quality issues but keep in mind they have products from the bottom of the barrel to the highest ones

So ofc cheap monitors might have issues

An issue like what u mentioned is a panel issue so that tv might have a panel from a bad brand not lg or samsung

[lilac heath]

Maybe

[lilac heath]

Never had any issue with Samsung TVs
We have like 4 of them at home

[cold elbow]

TVs usually dont break even cheap ass brands

We have unknown brands and they have been running for years

[fervent granite]

ngl i thought tcl was the great value brand of tv's

[cold elbow]

That what makes them good

Most ps5 pros are buying tcl

[fervent granite]

damn people actually bought those

[civic cloud]

"PS5 Pros"

[cold elbow]

I knew there's something with that but

I need more tea

[latent drum]

After those X3D leaks no way intel is winning

[cold elbow]

[devout basalt]

E com and video editing

[civic arch]

is this real

what happened to intel

[civic arch]

p12 were good so i assume p14 are too

35€ for 5 pack aint bad either

p12 are slightly less tho

same as a 1 noctua 120mm or phantek

[rose yacht]

I don’t think it will be that great for video editing. Yknow, you need a strong cpu and maybe a gpu to export the video

[devout basalt]

What if you minus the video editing? Will it be fine

[rose yacht]

Yeah then its good

[snow rover]

flag muscle

[lost fossil]

i ordered it like a month ago and it was delivered to someone else got the dispute approved tho

[civic arch]

what do aios use inside them

the liquid

[lost fossil]

ethylene glycol + distilled water

[civic arch]

so i can leave it in my car hopefully

gonna pick it up before i go to the gym

[civic arch]

wth is seyrex

i got a scyrox v8 tho

stock skates are mid i have dots

[lost fossil]

it's the scyrox

ordered it after cora suggested it and the rest is he/himstory

[civic arch]

its pretty good but the wire sucks ass

avoid charging it at all costs during gaming

thickest cable i seen

my mouse was 40g with the bigger stock skates

some people have lighter ones but they seem to use a kitchen scale

[nova steppe]

Is the problem heat or cold storage? The heat is no problem, but if it's cold, as long as it's not sitting in sub-zero temps for hours and hours on end, it's fine

[civic arch]

its cold

[nova steppe]

It is officially stated it can run at 0°C, so it'll be fine in storage

[lost fossil]

as i said, it's part made with ethylene glycol

which is the key ingredient in antifreeze

you can make you own germ-free cooling fluid by mixing half of antifreeze and distilled water, the result is 1/4 glycol 3/4 water which is just right in terms of viscosity

or more glycol to further suppress galvanic corrosion

found it

anyway, the point is that it will do fine sitting in your car for some time

[civic arch]

alright then

[civic arch]

imagine running a i9 and barely getting more than a 180€ processor

i9 costs around 500€ here

talking bout the 7600

1080p on a 4090 is only pro gamers tho

[quartz kayak]

[lost fossil]

classic russian ali

that's 194.2 $

[brave field]

crazy close to u9 285k gaming performance

one of these + RX 7600 would be a comfortable fit

[lost fossil]

rx7600m a man can dream

[trail cape]

RIP Intel

that's embarrasing, dude

and let's not forget about the power draw xD

[latent drum]

Reminder that the 985K is ghe latest gen

[trail cape]

285K is even worse xD

9800X3D is 35% faster than 285K

[lost fossil]

comparing it to a 14900k puts intel in a not as bad position as 285k

[trail cape]

fair enough

[latent drum]

The biggest upgrade this generation is essentially installing the cache the correct way

The Ryzen 9 leaked to have like insane cache sizes

208 mb

[lost fossil]

that better mean that both ccds get the cache

[latent drum]

Yes

So next gen ryzen is made by the same team that made Zen 3

ZE Zen 3

Destroyer of competition

[latent drum]

So Zen 3 team + innovation on understanding cache placements + memory compatibility getting their shit together is probably gonna be the final bullet

[trail cape]

man, when are people going to wake up

[latent drum]

A lot of these are old systems

[trail cape]

fair enough

AMD is on the rise tho

[latent drum]

Yes it is

[trail cape]

Man, I just love how the turns have tabled

[latent drum]

AMD have been in the lead for like 4 years

[trail cape]

no surprise there

[latent drum]

Intel was in the lead for 11

[trail cape]

if you look at it objectively AMD is just superior

price, performance, power, socket longevity

[snow rover]

i have 2 amd computer and 2 intel computer

[latent drum]

I still want intel to kick amds ass though
Thats how we win

[snow rover]

they all compute

[trail cape]

who's gonna buy a new motherboard with a new socket to use 285K? xD

[latent drum]

Outside of games the new intel cpus are way way too dangerous to ignore

[trail cape]

yh, okay

I focus on gaming performance

[lost fossil]

genuine intel
authentic amd
legitimate qualcomm
nvidia nocap

[latent drum]

I need to make my own GPU company

[trail cape]

I love that doggo emote

doggoKek

[latent drum]

Deep down i wish someone at intel gets a major brain oc and makes a 4090 for 200$ and makes AMD and Nvidia just Suffer and edge so much that a lot of investors drop them

[trail cape]

same

GPU market is so much worse than CPU

even though we've had crazy levels of stagnation this gen

[brave field]

they have the money to, but will it bring the profit they need for the next gen? Doubtful. I think the first run of Arc got so much negative press that undercutting won't be enough

[trail cape]

Nvidia having a monopoly on high-end...

We gonna end up with a 5080 which has half the VRAM, half the cores and half the bus width of the 5090

[latent drum]

Nvidia have monopolies on all ends

[trail cape]

we're doomed

Nvidia has no mercy

[lost fossil]

tbh

[trail cape]

they legit don't have to charge as much as they do

I know they're a business and their goal is to make money

but their margins are crazily high

[latent drum]

Using AMD cards is unjustified unless you have an Edge case scenario

[trail cape]

they got datacenter clients

and despite all that they stick it to the gamers

pure greed

[latent drum]

The new gen is priced so good in europe but AMD was reminded europe is a real place on the map like 3 years ago

[snow rover]

my edge case is that a 6950xt was half the price of a 3090 for about the same rasterization performance

[latent drum]

On the other hand nvidia supports everywhere

[trail cape]

the hell is that supposed to mean

[latent drum]

AMD pricing used to be so ass in europe

[trail cape]

I had a 7900XT but I switched to 4080 Super

not having the feature set was worse than I've anticipated

[latent drum]

Yeah

[trail cape]

and adrenalin software was randomly crashing graphic drivers when I alt-tabbed to my secondary monitor with a fullscreen game on main

[latent drum]

Something with AMD gpus in general sometimes you feel like you are the only planet on earth suffering from a specific problem that no one else ever had before

On nvidia the problems tend to affect a large group of people

[cedar ruin]

True, there is literally 0 competition to Nvidia GPUs.

I wouldn't call them a monopoly tho

They just have the best architecture and support, they are also the most popular.

[civic arch]

i got amd gpu and had zero issues so far

7800xt was pretty good value in eu

4070 would have been 150€ more for a decent cooler model

i only play cs2 and pubg and both run nicely

wont call amd cheap tho

they think only raster matters

[cold elbow]

WHEN??? I have been waiting for its price to drop for months

Maybe i should just grab it now

[lilac heath]

Performance uplift between 5800x3d and 7800x3d was really huge
Compared 7800x3d and 9800x3d

[cold elbow]

We really shouldn't compare to the 5800x3d
Use the 5700x3d and compare price difference.

[latent drum]

yeah 24% vs 11%

i know people like to %s so much

but that difference is only like 10 fps

[civic cloud]

5800X3D is the best and last upgrade you can do for AM4

So it makes sense to compare with it so people can see if it's worth it to upgrade

[cold elbow]

I feel like it's a bit misleading to do considering the price to performance.

And also amd is mainly making 5700x3d now so

[lilac heath]

Overclock it and u have a 5800x3d at lower price

[cold elbow]

U really dont need it
The difference is like what 3% at best?

And btw u cant oc these chips but maybe give them better tuned ram

[lilac heath]

6-10% diff

[cold elbow]

Watch hardwareunboxed review
For gaming it's 4% diff

5700x3d currently going for 190$ to 200$ and 250 msrp meanwhile last time i checked the 5800x3d is like 300$ and 350 msrp

[lilac heath]

https://imgur.com/a/udZCyZW

[cold elbow]

Even if it does work amd does not recommend it

That's why they flipping the cores under the memory in the 9000 x3d chips

[lilac heath]

Also 5800x3d is sold out or unavailable in most retail outlets

[cold elbow]

Memory really does not like heat

[lilac heath]

But 5700x3d is available

[lilac heath]

True

[cold elbow]

Yes i read somewhere that they are discontinuing and rolling with the 5700x3d

when i was making an image of that dead ssd of mine, i got read errors during the process, in the end after some trial and error (no pun intended ) i did like 10 passes with victoria in remap mode and after that i could make an image without any errors

[civic arch]

does anyone have a arctic aio 240mm

how noisy are all the different parts

should i use the single cable or control the pump , fans and vrm heatsink fan

single cable easiest but the same pwm signal might be not optimal

[civic cloud]

wdym pwm Signal might not be optimal?

And you want a cable for the pump and a different one for the fans

Pump should run at the same speed

[civic arch]

if i want the pump to run on 100% pwm and the fans on 40%

[civic cloud]

Run it on 90%

[civic arch]

with single cable all get 100% pwm

if i set it to 100%

[civic cloud]

Yes

ok so we agree

[civic arch]

but they might be noisy in comparison

the fans cant probably run 100% but the pump can

[civic cloud]

Set the pump to a speed where you can't hear it, my pump made an annoying sound if it goes above 92% or smth

The fan speed should change depending on CPU temperature

[exotic patrol]

what causes this funny glitch

[rose yacht]

or.. google something like "artic aio 240mm reddit" and let the reviews pile in

[rose yacht]

???? rewened their platinum.. of ?????? for 18 months!

probably your name wasnt being able to be loaded

[civic arch]

they will all go the same speed

if i use separate headers they will take up 3 of 5

which in theory is fine

i need 2 for case fans

[civic cloud]

Do you know about the existence of fan hubs?

Like yes you need to use up your fan headers on your motherboard?

What's the problem with that?

[rapid lake]

Good question

[exotic patrol]

hi

[rapid lake]

Hey Comfy

I have a question actually

[exotic patrol]

what is it

[rapid lake]

Recently, and out of the blue, when I turn on my PC it makes a really loud noise (could be from one of the fans) for few seconds and then it comes back down to normal

There’s no cables getting stuck or anything

Could it just be dust

Hold on I’ll record the sound

[civic cloud]

Perhaps it's one of the fan bearings going bad

[rapid lake]

Perhaps

I pressed the GPU fan slightly and now the sound is gone

But the case it still really dusty

Can I use compressed air for it

[civic cloud]

Yes or just a microfiber cloth for the most part

Just don't ultra spin the fans forever

[rapid lake]

I’m not sure that would get into the tight spots

But I’ll try because I don’t have conpressed air at home

[civic cloud]

Yeah but you can clean most dust with it so you don't need as much compressed air :)

[rapid lake]

Yeah that is not doing it

[rapid lake]

What about one of these?

[wary pawn]

Do you have old content that has fan making that sound? Somebody here suggested some years ago using some machine oil to fans.

[civic cloud]

Sure, If you own them

Vacuuming and cleaning your room regularly also helps 🤝

[civic arch]

not all fans are designed in that way

i would recommend silicone oil not engine oil

[civic arch]

fan hubs wont solve it tho

[wary pawn]

Just make it oily.

[civic arch]

most fan hubs just give the same pwm signal to all the connected fans

so the problem still remains

i recently added some oil to my gpu fans

[lost fossil]

you are not of understandment here

arctic has a fan cable running inside one of the tube sleeves and the result is that the whole thing has just one fan cable

they include a separate fan cable in the box but that's kinda cringe bro and it's not like that out of the box so most just end up using one cable, and with that setup the pump is controlled as if it was a fan

and so is the vrm fan

they're not noisy tho can confirm as an owner of an lf3

ty melon

[rapid lake]

I’ve done that to my room fan when it wasn’t spinning and it worked

But this is much smaller and it’s working as intended now

Though I took out the cpus heatsink and fan and can’t get it back in

[civic arch]

so single cable it is then

my cpu aint that hot so i dont think i need 100%

65w max unless in really pushing it

then its 100w

[civic arch]

is it run a pre run cable ?

is it possible to swap the fans

[lost fossil]

it's a pre-run cable, but it's kind of an extension, so you can swap the fans, though why would you

[civic arch]

i got a couple phantek t30's

and the rgb fan would look cool in the front/rear

maybe they light up better from the top tho

expensive case fans tho

had them on my gpu for a bit

[civic cloud]

Yes, you use one cable for the pump and one cable for all fans

[civic cloud]

That's dumb as fuck

[lost fossil]

no u

it's perfect

well, it's not, but it almost is

[civic cloud]

yis :3

[fallow forge]

Okay so now it seems to work fine

ffs

yep

From some quick searches, try taking off the joycon, disconnecting it from the switch in that controllers menu, then putting it back on

[sterile storm]

Oh okay

[sterile storm]

Is there a mechanic that can break when the joycons are attach?

Or is it always the joycon being faulty?

why not?

i remember when i got an aio (it was a measly 140mm lmao) and it didn't fit between the psu and the hdd fortress (bottom rad lmao) and for some time the radiator was just laying on the floor outside of the case

on the floor bc it was an aio for the gpu (nzxt g10 bracket) so it was quite low and i wasn't able to reach the top of the case with it

[civic arch]

my case has not yet arrived

the new one

i could install it and lay it on top of the pc

[lost fossil]

that will work

[civic arch]

cant put my side panel back on but who cares

how tight do the screws need to be

i dont see why this would not be fine

maybe i will tape it down

the pump noise is a bit excessive on 50%+

but that is with no side panel

Ik fair bit on gaming laptops

You can ask me

[quasi egret]

Hello, I have been thinking about getting an ASUS Tuf F15

[ebon oak]

What's the specs

[quasi egret]

rtx 3050, 16gb ram

512gb ssd, but I have a 1tb ssd, so storage isn't much of a problem

[ebon oak]

What purpose are you getting a laptop

Is it for casual gaming or hardcore or Streaming etc

[quasi egret]

Aside from gaming, coding and studying and stuff

[ebon oak]

Hmm

[snow rover]

a laptop terrible at everything!

[ebon oak]

Gaming and coding might need a better GPU and cpu

[ebon oak]

Not really

[snow rover]

really

[quasi egret]

Could you give me any recommendations?

[ebon oak]

What's your budget

[snow rover]

too slow to game and not convenient for casual use because terrible battery life and screen

[ebon oak]

Sure you can gift them a pc

[quasi egret]

maybe like $850

[rapid lake]

Get asus vivobook instead

[ebon oak]

That's a nice budget

[snow rover]

stating the realities of a low end gaming laptop doesn't make me obligated to donate computers

[quasi egret]

I thought it would be better to get something that will last as long as possible

[snow rover]

then buy a macbook

[quasi egret]

No, thanks

[rapid lake]

Good luck finding one of those for sale

[snow rover]

i mean, i wouldn't buy one either but you can't deny they last

[rapid lake]

Especially the bigger storage ones

People never sell them

[ebon oak]

Are you interested in lenovo laptops

[quasi egret]

I never thought of it actually

Might need to do some research

[ebon oak]

They have a variety

[quasi egret]

I'll check it out, thank you for the suggestion

[ebon oak]

@quasi egret you can search
Lenovo IdeaPad, loq, legion
Asus tuf is also great but 3050 is kinda insufficient for coding and gaming might work but might give an issue

You can get 4060 laptops for 850$ i believe

There is also MSI

[rapid lake]

Where

$850 for a laptop with a 4060

[quasi egret]

4050 and further are mostly above $1000

[ebon oak]

I saw a deal earlier wait lemme check
It was on discount

[quasi egret]

I could probably save up a bit

[ebon oak]

Yes

[quasi egret]

Would it be worth the money?

[rapid lake]

No

Gaming laptops, and laptops in general break or become slow after 2-3 years

What kind of games do you play

[quasi egret]

Valorant, Genshin, GTAV, CS2, Dota 2

and some other low-end single player games

[snow rover]

gaming laptops in general are just the worst of all worlds

[quasi egret]

well, it is really useful in uni tbh

[snow rover]

i think you'd still be better served with a dedicated laptop for the tasks you need it for and a desktop for gaming

a laptop 3050 is like a desktop 1660

which is like a $50 gpu nowadays

[rapid lake]

@snow rover do you think he’d get away with a no-GPU laptop

Something like

[snow rover]

yeah easily

[ebon oak]

This was on good discount now it's up

[rapid lake]

Or a ryzen equivalent

[wispy mesa]

16gb, 8gb onboard. what lol

[ebon oak]

It was 880 euros

[rapid lake]

What’s the rest of the specs though

[snow rover]

just looking at used parts, man you could build a decent desktop for so little money with some savvy shopping

saw a 2060 for 100€

[quasi egret]

I'd love to have a desktop, but I live in a dormitory

[quasi egret]

Only in a few years will most likely get a desktop

[ebon oak]

I got a laptop even though I have a desktop because I travel often

[quasi egret]

Alright then, thank you all for the suggestions

I'll do some more research on these suggestions

[ebon oak]

Yeah, own research is much better because you gotta choose something that's useful for your work.

You can watch yt videos too

[quasi egret]

Alright, thank you for the tips

Have a nice day, y'all

[quartz kayak]

You can buy a pc with a 4060 with like 900€ these days

Its crazy

[snow rover]

is that crazy though
