But on other hand RtX 4080 is also very expensive

Main problem is that Geforce now don’t have nearly all games

[quartz kayak]

It still isnt. My pc still runs every game fine

Literally plays most aaa titles in medium to high graphics (1080p) with like 60 to 70 fps

what were you renting then?

HP gas better brand value than gigabyte so

Probably better service too

[lost fossil]

yeah but i mean if u rent a 4080 now, what were u renting then?

[toxic sentinel]

Renting when?

Do you guys have any suggestions for good solid laptops? I was forced to use a iPad at school and it is severely restricting my productivity.

[cobalt cobalt]

Hey guys my pc is using too much disk space again... but this time in system

Idk why

It's not like I can close it so I've just updated my drivers

See if that fixes it

If it dosent then idk what to do

Pls help!

Steam wad downloading a big game

That might be why.

That's why

Whys that happening on steam now

It's weird why is system using 23 million while steam downloads

its stable ish now

It's working as intended

How strange it just spikes to 100^

@lost fossil aliexpress pro

do you know if promo codes can be used multiple times

as in could i split my order into 2 parts to use the code twice and get it cheaper

or would it be like: no

[lost fossil]

no and if you use one and close the page or revert the code then you can't use it anymore

or maybe that only applies to some codes but it's better for you if you think they're all like that

[lost fossil]

i used the smallest zipties to ziptie it to the mobo mounting bracket

[civic arch]

why does this case exhaust such hot air

the top is very warm

[nova steppe]

you said it yourself

it's the exhaust

[nova steppe]

you have the radiator exhausting through the top, so the heat of the air then heats up the case

hey guys my ssd is maxing out to 100% when downloading stuff 😦

why is that just tsarted happening on steam

it could be a broken hard drive but idk how to fix that

[light sinew]

https://youtube.com/shorts/vibK3FyzWvU?si=ui7fSuZJASm8ZRqF

[lost fossil]

it could'nt be a hard drive when it's an ssd now, could it

[cobalt cobalt]

man idk computers 😭

Device Manager -> Right Click SSD Drive -> Policies -> Uncheck them and enjoy i saw this as a fix

think it could work

[lost fossil]

if you have a shitty ssd like a kingston nv2 then you might have a dying drive

[cobalt cobalt]

its this ion know

[lost fossil]

crucial p3 is not the best but certainly better than kingston nv2

[cobalt cobalt]

i also saw uhh

open device manager, rightclick your ssd, click on guidelines, uncheck the write cache feature

think that'll work

?

or...

i could just update my driver

ssd driver*

[lost fossil]

i have no idea

im just saying bc i had a slow system pegged at 100% and it was a dead drive

and skipper here had a kingston nv2 and his drive was also at 100%

[cobalt cobalt]

wild

[civic arch]

how long will amd be so good

dont they usually fuck it up?

[cobalt cobalt]

its only 100% when downloading

[nova steppe]

What is the speed

[civic arch]

do the i9's stand any chance when compared to ryzen 9

[nova steppe]

What does it say the write speed is on that same screen in task manager, and what is your internet speed

[civic arch]

its normal for the ssd to bog down when downloading stuff

if u got fast enough internet

what no cache does to a mf 😭😭

[cobalt cobalt]

internet is like 50mps or sum

mbs

its system thats taking the space

[civic arch]

wont a broken ssd just not let you boot?

[nova steppe]

It's not "space" it's the utilisation, the usage

[civic arch]

when i had a doa drive i could not get anywhere else but the bios

[cobalt cobalt]

yea system taking all the usage

😦

[nova steppe]

If the write speed is keeping up with your download, then it should be fine, at least in my limited experience

[cobalt cobalt]

nah its just maxxing out during any download using like 55 million or sum for it

im more annoyed about not being able to use anything else while i download

on top of my memory being slowly used for stuff idek its at like 50% with 4 things open

[civic arch]

do you have a ssd or hdd?

[civic arch]

ram memory?

no worry if it aint 100% usage

[cobalt cobalt]

alr lol

[lost fossil]

relatable

[cobalt cobalt]

ssd

i got 15 gb 😭

the guy of facebook that made my pc scamming

[lost fossil]

16gb is okay tho

[cobalt cobalt]

yuh it is

[civic arch]

how do people get high ram usage

idle windows uses like 4gb??

[lost fossil]

they open a web browser

[cobalt cobalt]

i mean steam in the background takes up abit

[civic arch]

i never seen firefox use more than like 5gb

discord + steam dont use much either

[lost fossil]

after closing 235 tabs (how tf did i open this many )

[civic arch]

ram is there to be used anyways

32gb is not enough for beamng almost 😭😭

also vram is almost full too

damn does my pc get hot on the top

that aio must be inhaling all of the gpu's hot air

[lost fossil]

it is, but when the usage is high for seemingly no reason then it don't feel right

[civic arch]

its not like the ram cares

[cobalt cobalt]

should i uncheck write chache? i saw it helps

[lost fossil]

it depends

it can increase the wear and/or slow down the system even more

[cobalt cobalt]

freak

idk what to do then lmao

might just

be patient and not use my pc when downloading stuff

[civic arch]

maybe limit the download?

if it reduces your systems load

[cobalt cobalt]

idk how to do th\t

[civic arch]

steam?

in steam you can easily limit the speed

it does it automatically if you open a game too

idk if its by default

[cobalt cobalt]

where is that?

nvcm found it

what would be the right speed

in kbs

mines is usally 50

@civic arch HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I MESSED AROUND WITH IT AND DISBALED IT

MY DISK FUCKING WORKS NOW?? LMAOO

nvmm..

its shot up

[civic arch]

try 25000?

[cobalt cobalt]

yea nah thats way too low

but 100000 works

yea i can handle like 100 mbps but past like 200 it maxes out

weird

its spiking to 100% every so often but thats alr

it can handle 200 but it'll be really inconsistent spiking to 100 for abit and then down

not cuasing issues to discord or anything at all

alr its fixed

it hasnt maxxed for abit and i have abit going on

this isnt so bad!

[cold elbow]

It's a grind

And the guy is good at it

[toxic sphinx]

Ngl gang as long as u supplied the parts there ain’t nun to be aware off

Real scammers use refurb parts tha have been used for many other stuff. Stuff you don’t really want to put your parts through

[lost fossil]

my 6600m refab is still going strong

[toxic sphinx]

There’s a different between looking for it yourself than trusting a potential scammer that charges prices of an original thing and goes to the cheapest for the cheapest part possible.

[cobalt cobalt]

I have a 6600....

Oh well it works for what I want it to work for

But like iirc everything's new, i didn't buy the pc so oh well

[snow rover]

i tried it immediately after placing an order and yeah it didn't work again but i tried it just now again and it works

[cobalt cobalt]

update: my steam is not capped at 50 mbps which is the normal for my xbox and whatnot and im not longer maxxing out?? i just updated my windows maybe it was a silly bug

im so confused

epic games works now... despite being capped at 5mbps

what should i put my core clock and vram clock at? i have rtx 4050

[lost fossil]

if it's a desktop, uninstall msi center and install msi afterburner and do that there

if it's a laptop, don't change anything because it's already hot without any overcocking

[exotic patrol]

what

[exotic patrol]

it was rgb afterall

[ebon oak]

Which video editing software is good

[snow rover]

qobuz

tidal still has mqa files even though they officially dropped mqa

warner bros converted all of the music they own to mqa and it has taken ages to replace the mqa versions with actually lossless

so there's a ton of songs on tidal that aren't available lossless

[exotic patrol]

how about no

[twin badger]

Awesome... my front panel power connector decided to shit itself, so now the only way i can turn on my PC is with a screwdriver

if you have a spare keyboard switch for some god forsaken reason, get two female to female dupont wires

[twin badger]

I do infact have a spare switch...

on the wire, on one of the sides u have to remove the plastic thingies and bend the flaps in for a more secure connection
(and not put the plastic thingies back on bc otherwise the pins on the switch can't reach )

Need to do this math lesson for university.

A construction crew is lengthening a road that originally measured 52 miles. The crew is adding one mile to the road each day. Let L be the length (in miles) after D days of construction. Write an equation relating L to D. Then use this equation to find the length of the road after 21 days.

Here is my equation: L=52+D

And the answer should be 73 miles. Am I correct?

[trail cape]

Are you serious?

I genuinely can't tell

[leaden kelp]

what

[trail cape]

Yes, both the equation and answer are correct.

[leaden kelp]

thx

[lost fossil]

that's the issue with some of these math problems

this sounds way, way, way too complicated for something that is in fact as simple as x+y=z

[leaden kelp]

lol fr

[trail cape]

I'm shocked that this is university level math exercise

That's why I was unsure whether this guy was serious or not

[rapid lake]

That’s like

8th grade math

[snow rover]

university? that's 6th grade

[trail cape]

Exactly

[rapid lake]

I mean unless you’re doing something that has nothing to do with math but you need to take a math class

[trail cape]

no, come on

[rapid lake]

Some unis will require a math class

Whatever your major is

yeah, but like you've said it's 8th grade math

Idk man some people have a hard time with math

it's under 50 liters

who needs a case that big damn

does that fit like eatx mobos

[snow rover]

no

but it fits a strix 4090

[civic arch]

is that even that big

[snow rover]

also like who cares about case size

my pc could be the size of a fridge for all i care

[civic arch]

smaller is much easier to carry around

computers are so heavy these days

i think just the mobo is a few kilograms

[snow rover]

i have literally never carried my pc anywhere besides the porch to dust it

what if you want to take it over to a friends place

its a pain to move big cases

[snow rover]

???

people do that?

[supple walrus]

Assembly was AUD$100 for 2-3 day assembly assuming all parts in stock + labour costs
Warranty is free, because Australian consumer law is very, very good, and the instapak was free,

I'm getting a custom system built because although I know how to build PCs, I don't trust myself to actually do it because of my disability
$100 extra for piece of mind is pretty no cost at all in the grand scheme of things

[supple walrus]

Tldr: my disability, so peace of mind when actually moving it
And my PC will be under my desk lmao so it doesn't matter

So more likely early-mid next week

You know 7900x is kinda equivalent to i9 13 gen

That's already a massive upgrade

do you game

if yes

if no

non X3D

exception being the 9800X3D because that shit is so cracked that it does both productivity and gaming extremely well

[supple walrus]

as someone who uses gaming laptops, the only good choice is '60 cards

3050/4050 doesnt have enough performance power, and the 3070/4070 and above draw too much actual power

3060/4060 is the sweetspot for laptop cards, especially if you're actually planning to dual use the laptop for productivity and gaming

[arctic yarrow]

[supple walrus]

People can slander them all they want, but even for productive I can never go back, especially as a CyberSec student
The extra robustness of gaming oriented laptops is a huge bonus for heavier productivity tasks

Even now that I'm getting a PC, I'll still be keeping my trend of mid range gaming laptops for on the go work

[arctic yarrow]

Well, I got this one for $500, so it was too good to pass up too.

Shit that's a great deal lmao
I'd guess 11th/12th gen mobile intel?

[arctic yarrow]

10th gen actually

[supple walrus]

Huh
I seee

My current laptop is a 12th gen i7 + 3060

[arctic yarrow]

Thing came with 16gb ram and a 1tb NVME too

[supple walrus]

Niice

Mine was the same
Plus I slotted the 970 evo plus 1tb in from my old laptop for 2x1tb

[arctic yarrow]

The only downside was the chassis was cracked a little bit and misaligned from the ports.

I fixed the misalignment issue, and the cracks aren't a problem

[supple walrus]

although
One thing I dislike about my current one lmao
The cooling is actually good so I can't use it as a space heater lmao

[arctic yarrow]

Why not? More effective cooling brings the heat into the environment quicker.

[supple walrus]

I don't know what Asus did to the TUF lineup to change the cooling between the 2021 and 2023 models but holy shit, it went from 'it works' to i didn't know laptops could be cooled this well

[supple walrus]

It just runs way cooler as is lmao
So it's not outputting as much heat

Hence, no space heater lmao

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, how tf?

Actual voodoo magic

[supple walrus]

LEGIT

They changed something serious and made the cooling actually work lmao

[arctic yarrow]

They had to have lessened the power consumption pretty dramatically

[supple walrus]

Nah
I went from an i5 3050 to an i7 3060 lmao

And even when I opened it up, the cooling ducts looked way different

[arctic yarrow]

Probably, but if it were consuming more power, the "space heater" effect would be increased compared to the past laptop.

[supple walrus]

Well it wasn't lmao

That shit don't make sense

Actual black magic

[arctic yarrow]

Maybe it has better power management

[lilac heath]

Asus?

[supple walrus]

Yessir

[lilac heath]

2020 model had heating issues

I think they fixed it after that

[supple walrus]

Perfect mid range on a budget tbh

TUF lineup is great

[lilac heath]

Fr

[lilac heath]

Only problem is that laptop version has less vram

[supple walrus]

I mean... yes?
Mobile GPUs
Designed for laptops

[lilac heath]

But 4060 has same vram as desktop
3060 got massive downgrade from desktop gpu💀

12 vs 6

[rich latch]

I have very bad connection issues is that due to the ps4 or my internet

[snow rover]

the latter, almost certainly

[civic arch]

4060 might be the only card that performs similarly to desktop

[rich latch]

DAMNET

[lilac heath]

Yeah

[cold elbow]

Only because the old tuf 21 had a garbage tier cooling that is so stupid that you start questioning what the fk are these guys doing and who greenlight this garbage?

After they were done designing their shitty cooler they realized something.....
"eng1: oh man we forgot about cooling the VRMs.
Eng2: you are supposed to cool these?
Eng1: yes you fkn moron!!!
Eng2: hmmmmmm, how about we restrict inlet airflow so it can enter from tiny holes about the VRMs and keep them cool enough to pass.
Eng1: dude that's brilliant! Sorry for calling you a moron."

[lost fossil]

[supple walrus]

Ye
Especially when you factor in thermal throttling that occurs in higher cards

You're essentially being kneecapped down to a 4060 so you might aswell have just saved money and got a 4060 model one

do modern pc fans just require pwm and 12volt to work?

if i had an arduino for the 5v pwm and a separate 12 volt supply would the fan work ?

if i connect the ground of the 12v supply and arduino cuz the pwm needs that

is there some issues with voltages going into the arduino?

i plan on converting that 12v to 5v for the arduino too

most likely an lm2596 buck converter

[lost fossil]

there are modern 3pin fans though

it depends on the startup current of a given fan, some might work with just 5v

noctua makes 5v versions of some of their fans

[cold elbow]

Any fan even 4pin pwm can run if you supply voltage to it
It's usually from 6-12 volts or even lower depending on the fan design
Pwm

[cold elbow]

Tho i dont understand what you are doing here

Why not just using a 5v power supply to power the arduino and fan

[civic arch]

its a 12v fan

standard 120mm

the 5v part of the fan is the pwm signal

it does not power anything it just allows power to go through

also im using 4pin so i can get rpm if i want

my plan is to have it be able to be controlled with pwm

[cold elbow]

Just yolo it with a resistor

40 is fine

but if it's 40 down 4 up then that's not so fine

I coded an announcements bar just now for my website which also scrolls through it using PHP and CSS, is PHP the best approach for an announcements bar? Or could it be static

[sharp coyote]

Im not aware that u can control the fan inside it

Also make sure it does get airflow

AS ps4 pro indeed is loud

[rich latch]

Wym make sure

[lilac heath]

Change its thermal paste

And clean air vents

[rich latch]

Brother this shit was such a waste of money

My base ps4 never made this fucking sound

[sharp coyote]

did u buy it new

Or used

[rich latch]

used

Cuz the controller is chipped in the dpad area

[lilac heath]

Well thermal throttling happens due to dust build up in air vents and fans

[rich latch]

Man I shoulda just fixed my ps4

Can I return it?

That's gear 1 looks like it

But he IS running very high vdimm

i need to update my bios :D

uclk is not 1:1

[civic arch]

i hooked up a power switch to bios reset so its easy to test

[sharp coyote]

How did it go

[civic arch]

no idea what these do but seems to boot just fine

might see where the limits are

im gonna run memtest for like 5 mins

if theres big issues it will show

[cold elbow]

There used to be a software called ryzen dram calculator

U give it your ram and it creates better timings for it

[twin badger]

Ok

[sharp coyote]

Your twtrl is high

[sharp coyote]

Dosent give good timings anymore

Most of it is loose

Also u could do trfc probs 150

What die IS it also

Trc can be 112

Easiest way IS trp+tras

On stock

Although trfc isnt game changing like tfaw

And trrdl/s twtrs/L

[foggy pebble]

had to read a ping here just for an Ok

sad

[civic arch]

which timings matter most

i will probably keep it at 6000mhz 28cl

On ddr4 21
On ddr4 42 perhaps let me check

Not my pic

[civic arch]

i think trfc cant even go below like 200-300 on ddr5??

good cpu luck with flck of 2167mhz

[sharp coyote]

Trfc can

Can go lower than on s8b

how should i test performance ??

do i just play cs2 cuz thats what matters

minimal testing showed better 1% and 0.1% lows

300fps cap cuz its always that

500fps is max i seen

[sharp coyote]

Sure cs2

[sharp coyote]

Yes that will be noticable most

In cpu bounds scenarios

Like cs2

[civic arch]

my poor ryzen 5 7500f

idk how helldiver 2 abuses it so badly im running it ultra 1440p no upscaling

Do pbo If u are interested

[civic arch]

already max of 200mhz pbo

wish it could do more

[sharp coyote]

Limits also?

Curve optimizer?

[civic arch]

if i set static i can easily do like 5.4-5,45ghz

curve optimizer negative -30

is there any way to increase boost clock more ?

static 5.4 uses like 40w idle

For a single person household who games and watches streams? Yes
For someone trying to stream? No

[civic arch]

or seeding

[lost fossil]

u just like me fr

[twin badger]

So... what kind of speed does one need to stream...?

[ebon oak]

[arctic yarrow]

Why?

Streaming shouldn't be that bad with those speeds.

In fact, I'd say streaming is fine with those speeds

[latent drum]

very fine

i seed on 8mbps

[nova steppe]

Streaming is fine at those speeds

[exotic patrol]

streaming all depends on the stability of the upload not its speed

[nova steppe]

Even 10megabit/s is fine(enough™️), as long as you're the only one uploading

[civic cloud]

Considering the asymmetric upload/download speed he's probably on copper cables so it will go down a lot during peak hours 🤝

[lost fossil]

i keep saying

that latency is stability of the connec are more important than speed, and then my coworker keeps continuing to insist that wifi > cable for home use

[nova steppe]

Even if they thought the other way around for the speed/latency thing, then they'd still be wrong for the latter argument 🥲

god, these model names...

[lost fossil]

the only issue is that one of the ips277 developed a vertical line of dead'ish pixels

[twin badger]

@prisma linden Also, LG manufactures panels for other companies, so i find it a little funny how they are considered bad

[lost fossil]

they're not dead dead but one or two of the 3 subpixels on it don't work

which is weird

[nova steppe]

If optiplexes are the standard of reliability, then that's a pretty low bar

wdym, the ips277l is a great model name all things considered

Hm? Not sure what their PC's gotta do with their monitors

1. Clean tf up holy shit
2. How many intake fans do you have

[unreal iron]

the other pc is the fiances, so uh that cannot happen and 2 idk

probablyy 1 each way

[civic cloud]

Get a cheap 3 pack of those fans melons always recommends (they are like 15 bucks for 3)

@cold elbow

And clean up your desk so you have space for working on the PC

[unreal iron]

ay time I need to work on it i just disconnect the squid of cables and take it to the table

[cold elbow]

Remove the side panel anyway and leave a gab between it and the wall

[cold elbow]

I also noticed that you havea magnetic air filter on the top exhaust fan or air hole...
Remove that cus it's doing nothing but harm your computer

You dont need to filter air that is already going outside of the pc

[unreal iron]

idk which way is wich

[civic cloud]

The logo on the fan is where the air gets sucked in

Thermalright tl-c12c fans

Excellent airflow but shit static pressure. For case fans very good

These are DC fans which are worse than thermalright tl-c12c

no they are PWM?

But its expensive and not worth for a single fan
