Any other f12 isnt pwm

[lost fossil]

are you saying that arctic fans are AC?

[sharp coyote]

29$

[lost fossil]

yeah

are u saying that $6 per fan is expensive?

[sharp coyote]

F12 has pwm and non pwm models i meant that

[sharp coyote]

Not really but tl-c12c exist

With 5 pack

Which does outperform it on airflow wise

On static pressure wise no

[lost fossil]

[sharp coyote]

Thermalright needs to upgrade the static pressure

Here

[sharp coyote]

Tl-c12b is non rgb variant

Aris chose 25dba at the end due it is low enough not to annoy most users and high enough to allow for speeds that offer decent airflow and static pressure performance.

[lost fossil]

dang that's quite a margin

[cold elbow]

And how much they cost?

[sharp coyote]

3 pack is 13$

5 pack is 21$

[cold elbow]

That's excellent value

[sharp coyote]

19*

I just checked

They were 21 in some time

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/x3Kscf/thermalright-tl-c12c-s-x5-6617-cfm-120-mm-fans-5-pack-tl-c12c-s-x5

[cold elbow]

I watched a review from a channel that i trust and it says the p12 is giving more cfm than the c12c unrestricted.
So in conclusion the difference is minimal and you should buy whatever is avaliable at a cheaper price
Both of these fans have availability issues or you find them at a higher price.

But if you want a baller fan then p12 max

[lost fossil]

i had to get a p14 the slim variant to make my old psu look presentable

regular is 27mm which is too thicc, ends up pushing against psu's internals which ends up pushing the blades into the grille

[sharp coyote]

Looking at max by aris TLC IS around 10cfm ahead

66.xx for tl-c
And p12 pwm 52

Was it hardware canucks that u watched?

[solid coyote]

i got a questionn

anyone knows if its possible to friend someone whilst im on PC and they are on console?

anyone?

[lost fossil]

no but with some rare exceptions

[solid coyote]

what exceptions

[lost fossil]

some ea games, maybe forknife, idk

[solid coyote]

im talking abt gta

[lost fossil]

you need to look it up for the particular game that you're interested in

[solid coyote]

gta

[lost fossil]

no, gta doesn't have that

[solid coyote]

oh

dang it

[civic arch]

p14's are pretty good fans

they suck alot of air

wish arctic put little rubber feet on their fans

they vibrate alot and that increases noise

the p14's with diy rubber feet can run 1000rpm and only make that slight air getting sucked noise

[lost fossil]

so they suck

[sharp coyote]

[nova steppe]

that's what i was thinking at first

[lost fossil]

replace the corsair kuhler with arctic liquid freezer 3 360 and the case with uh idk something else, that should free up at least $70

maybe even a 240, considering the cpu that ur going with, that frees up even more $

https://www.techspot.com/review/2699-amd-b650-motherboards/#Starting_at_120 check the ASRock board that he mentions here, or perhaps something else that can fit under $130 that you have in your list

[exotic patrol]

you could easily build it yourself for like 1k

it's really not worth it

comfy just can't stop setting himself up for tech support nightmares

[lost fossil]

malicious compliance or something

[brave field]

bust out the Windows 98 VM

[exotic patrol]

not as bad as this

but tbh why does powershell allow base64 conversion and runs the code without any warnings

[brave field]

nice "poWERSHelL," that'll make sure nobody detects it

A shell with a bunch of warnings would be terrible.

base64 conversion is pretty standard, and whatever the string gets passed to doesn't know or care where the string came from

[exotic patrol]

sure but if it notices the code has been copied or started from run then it should start the powershell window with the same warning you get for running scripts instead of executing the code right away

it should also fall under executionpolicy

they make the execution ExecutionPolicy for basic unobfuscated scripts that you can easily view but copy and pasting base64 with a PoWerShelL not falling under it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me atleast

but either way it wouldn't matter since they will most likely confirm any warning if there was one anyway and that's the problem with user error

I need help pairing my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3. I watched a video and saw Headset assigned on Xbox. I’m not getting that notification

[latent drum]

I moved into an apartment in may,
To my circumstances it got roach infestation

Which i didnt notice till july

After getting the place done, i kept notcing roachs on my desk

Yeah.

[wispy mesa]

do you plan on continuing to use it after

[latent drum]

Yeah sadly

Its a new power supply as well

Got it in like march

I could have just sprayed it to hell

I took the entire PC apart

There is nothing except the psu

[wispy mesa]

Ok well i wouldnt open it

[latent drum]

I already did

Temoved the top half

[wispy mesa]

just removed the top?

if it happens to get damaged and cause a fire, opening it wont help you getting insurance, etc.

but ok

Just spray it, wait 5 minutes, clean it with iso propl bath

Just becareful

make sure you have it unpowered atleast 5 minutes before doing anything else

[latent drum]

Nothing in the room is flammable

Except the mouse pad, i also have a kill switch if something goes wrong

[latent drum]

I also did the power button trick

In few months yeah

Except the gpu and the hard drives

I might have fucked up

Yup i fucked up

Bug spray have aerosol

A very flammable substance

Well lads

I turned my Deepcool psu into a gigabyte psu

[wispy mesa]

They evaporate and move away

Not an issue

We use flammable isopropyl to clean pc parts all the time

[latent drum]

Well yeah

Until it turned into white goo?

No clue what this bug spray got

I just sprayed it with IPA

And will leave it to dry for like 2 days

Then i will tey to multi meter everything

[wispy mesa]

Just wipe it down

[nova steppe]

i think they meant the spray was on the inside

touching anything should be the last thing they do

[nova steppe]

I'd just be careful in the warranty questionnaire with my wording and try to get a new one entirely at that point

[lost fossil]

every time i had to fiddle with the psu fan, it was like i was doing surgery on a grape

[sharp coyote]

Dont do it

If u dont know what u are doing

And dont known the inside of it

Safety first

U could easily blow up mosfets afterwards

Or burn transistor

[lost fossil]

or game end yourself if you accidentally touch the wrong thing

[pliant lynx]

any thoughtsss

[lost fossil]

it's a computer

i see no pricetag so that's my only thought

and it's a prebuilt so actually nvm my other thought is no

probably costs more than the pc that you configured earlier and it uses a box amd kuhler

[latent drum]

Iam currently studying electrical engineering
So i did avoid this part lol

Do you think i should go for AM4 build or AM5
my budget is around 890USD

[nova steppe]

putting budget aside, AM5. AM4 is dead™️, so if you wanted to go for it anyway, it would have to be a really good deal. In my opinion.

[exotic patrol]

what even are those troubleshooting steps

"ah yes my friend's pc is stuttering let me just reduce the mouse DPI and downgrade to win11 rq"

[latent drum]

Bet the ram is inserted incorrectly + XMP isnt on

Update: i fought aresol with more oil free aresol and it worked the PSU is working again somehow
And lol my MOBO is still broken

[lost fossil]

i can see how reducing the polling rate (not dpi) can help bc i had a razer deathadder and for some reason it would reset (as in, restart like a reset button) some computers that it was plugged into

[lost fossil]

probably will stay broken now that you turned it on... should've put it in the dishwasher

no, i'm not trolling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVuI-Fn27-U

[cold elbow]

Only good reason for going am4 is buying it used and in a really good deal since you can find a lot of these around... it's actually a good idea but new!!! Nahhhhh.

[civic arch]

which light is that

[lilac heath]

5700x3d

[civic arch]

some games dont like 8khz polling rate i noticed

[lilac heath]

Higher polling rate also increases cpu usage

[civic arch]

not like it matters

barely more

cpu only reaches 80-90% most times on cs/pubg

300fps cap on both games

[lilac heath]

If the dpi is 10k+ then it does increase cpu usage

Especially on weaker CPUs

[civic arch]

dont think over 8khz is used on any

[cold elbow]

Ill give you 120 for it

[civic arch]

5700x3d is kinda nasty value

[cold elbow]

Not really

[twin badger]

Its the slightly younger brother of a 5800x3d

i want an intel arc gpu just cuz they look cool 😭😭

[twin badger]

[cold elbow]

It's just the end of am4

[twin badger]

Mostly just the clock speeds

[cold elbow]

Ye

[civic arch]

aliexpress cpu enjoyers

[twin badger]

I got that board in 2019 and i could still use a chip like the 5700x3d on it

[civic arch]

mine came in a unbraned box in middle of some foam no protection

[twin badger]

I wonder how's the warranty

And shipping times

[cold elbow]

I saw some listings on ali express for 150 but shipping time is wild

[civic arch]

2 years i think

in europe theres some companys that sell them too

[twin badger]

Do you really get warranty for an aliexpress one though...?

[civic arch]

idk

why is 7500f so rare tho

[twin badger]

I got my cpu, i am not even kidding, in LESS than a day

[civic arch]

its a good alternative to a 7600x

same shit better value

[cold elbow]

Probably not made in big quantities

[twin badger]

You just answered your question

Lol

[civic arch]

its the worst bins probably

where the igpu fails or somethibg

[cold elbow]

Yep

[civic arch]

could my 7500 been an ryzen 7 too?

how does amd bin their cpus

[twin badger]

Well thats sorta what 5700x3d is, a 5800x3d that couldnt reach the target clock speeds

Because structurally they are the same

The l3 cache is the same

TDP is also the same i think

[cold elbow]

Potato is good.

[civic arch]

are those unlocked

[twin badger]

No

3 ghz base, 4.1 turbo

[civic arch]

how much cache do the x3d even have

l3

[cold elbow]

Only unlocked 3d chips are the new 9000

[twin badger]

I think 96 mb

[civic arch]

thats like 3x what the 7500f has

damn

[cold elbow]

Because they put the cache under cores so you get much better cooling

[twin badger]

It was funny to look at people being all fussy about 9000 series being a minor improvement over 7000 series, even though this was the same case for 1000 and 2000 series

It was just a more efficient refresh

[cold elbow]

Mhhhmm ...

No

[twin badger]

Wym

[cold elbow]

2000 was better and more mature especially memory compatibility

[twin badger]

It was still a minor improvement over 1000 in terms of actual performance

Thats kinda what i am talking about here

The actual IPC gain

[cold elbow]

Minor is better than no gains at all

[twin badger]

Well yeah

[cold elbow]

While being more expensive

[twin badger]

Kinda obvious

[cold elbow]

2000 basically gamlve more confidence in amd new cpus

[twin badger]

I'd argue it was the 3000 series that really made them take off, since thats when they matched intel's competition in gaming performance

[cold elbow]

I remember my 1600 unable to run my ram over 2900mhz

So i got me a 2400 ram and overclocked it to 2666 while having good timings

[twin badger]

Mmmmhh.. last time i had such low frequency was back when i had that 4x2 kit with my 1500X

[cold elbow]

Welll

Low speed but cl12 is crazy fast

[twin badger]

I actually still got my 1500X, the poor thing has burnt pins, but still works lol

I also still have both of my old cards

Figured out it's pointless to sell em because i wont get much for them anyways

[cold elbow]

Why u don't sell old stuff

I always sell whatever i have

Keeping them will only degrade them more

[twin badger]

Mfs are gonna negotiate like crazy and make me sell it for 2x less than what i want...

I already had a hard time selling my 5600 for 65

Most offered me 50-55...

[cold elbow]

Still better than nothing

[twin badger]

Meh, i'd rather keep a GPU as sort of a novelty piece... or just a backup incase the current one suddenly dies

[cold elbow]

[twin badger]

If it was a more expensive card, i woulda bothered

[civic arch]

is ddr5 actually any faster than ddr4

more transfer but more latency

ddr4 can match the bandwidth almost still

[cold elbow]

On launch it wasn't faster maybe a little but nowadays it's hitting crazy speeds not to mention the architecture and the new technologies

In most cases you don't even need dual channels

[civic arch]

is it not dual channel even with single stick

cuz its dual rank??

[sharp coyote]

pyprime is only thing ddr4 can win in, with like an 11900k in g2
pure minmax latency is only thing it can beat ddr5 in, but bandwidth gains r big enough where it'll basically always win

[civic arch]

can excel include dates but mark all holidays ?

maybe its better to do it manually

But is it good

[sharp coyote]

Meh

Should be ok

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/77NMZc
I can do this with little more

[timber timber]

Is it good for Fortnite and Gta FiveM

[sharp coyote]

Well it runs it

[timber timber]

On high graphics on fivem

Would that work

[sharp coyote]

Likely yes

I dont like prebuilt psus

Neither motherboards

Also ddr5 16gb is ass likely

Better off getting 2x16gb ddr4

Motherboard is way overkill xD

[wispy mesa]

no gpu so a heavily modded fivem wouldnt run well

wait

bit blind

[wispy mesa]

DM the build

[timber timber]

I did now

[wispy mesa]

and its 10990kr?

[timber timber]

Yes swedish currency

Bc its black friday discount

[wispy mesa]

Are PC parts relatively expensive in denmark?

Wait kr

swedish

my head is falling off tonight, please bare with me

Ok, yes it will run FiveM and fortnite fine, is it worth 10990kr, maybe not, but its a prebuilt so its gonna be more expensive then a custom build by someone who can actually make PCs

[timber timber]

Why is that bad

16gb ram is enough if i only have 1 game and discord open at the same time right

[timber timber]

Is the motherboard bad

[wispy mesa]

if you do heavily modded fiveM, 16gb may reach its limits pretty fast

[wispy mesa]

no its fine

[timber timber]

What does he mean by overkill then idk what overkill is

[sharp coyote]

For that cpu

[wispy mesa]

its too good for the rest of the system, not an issue, just a spot where money is wasted

[sharp coyote]

And ddr5 2x8gb IS bad because its similiar to ddr4

8gb sticks of DDR5 consist of half the memory modules as other typical 16gb or 32gb sticks. As such, this creates what is dubbed as a "half-rank" or "half-channel" RAM stick. Even if you use a 2x8gb kit of DDR5 RAM, you are not truly running a dual channel configuration. This significantly drops the speed and performance of your RAM to a point where you may as well get a DDR4 system for the same kind of performance, with considerably lower costs. Not only that, but 32gb kits of DDR5 RAM are hardly more expensive, so a 2x8gb kit is not recommended even for the penny pinchers.
Yes

As an adept advisor

I use this command

[timber timber]

Oh but I’m thinking of upgrading parts later on for the pc like my gpu and cpu for example

So then its maybe not overkill

[wispy mesa]

then yea the mobo wont need upgrading unless the socket changes

[twin badger]

16 GB is definitely not enough for FiveM

I literally had to upgrade my RAM to 32 Gb because of FiveM

[timber timber]

But I can upgrade all of that later on after I get pc

Right?

[wispy mesa]

have you made a pc before?

youll find it easier to upgrade if you build your first one

[timber timber]

No but my moms brother is very good at doing it he can help

[twin badger]

Yea

Obviously

[timber timber]

Yay

[twin badger]

Ofc given you have enough ram slots

[wispy mesa]

that mobo has 4

[timber timber]

Is mobo motherboard?

[twin badger]

Ye

[timber timber]

4 what?

[wispy mesa]

memory slots

[timber timber]

Oh

[twin badger]

4 ram slots

[timber timber]

Yeah that is the pc

[twin badger]

Next to the cpu socket

[sharp coyote]

Then u need to get another 2x16gb kit sadly

And throw out 2x8gb one

[twin badger]

I'd honestly give building the PC yourself a try

It's kinda fun, as long as you know what you are doing

[timber timber]

Well i dont

[wispy mesa]

and dont spend 1/5 of the budget on a motherboard like that prebuilt does

[twin badger]

Plenty of tutorials out there

Really is just like building legos

[sharp coyote]

Because mixing ram isnt good and 4 sticks

12400f imc isnt that good

[twin badger]

Why tho, i had 8x2 and just bought a matching 8x2 and it runs perfectly

[sharp coyote]

Mixing RAM isnt good

[twin badger]

Then again... 4 ram sticks on an am5 board...

[twin badger]

Its not mixing, if you are buying the exact same kit

[sharp coyote]

Also matching one doesnt guarantee they use Same IC

[wispy mesa]

last i checked ddr'5 basically has no issue with mixing ram

[sharp coyote]

It can be

[twin badger]

Wasnt for me

[sharp coyote]

It can be Same ic

It can not

[wispy mesa]

its more of your issue when it runs at the slowest sticks speed overall

[sharp coyote]

Comes down to production date

[twin badger]

Guess i am just that lucky... i guess...?

[sharp coyote]

Could be

[twin badger]

Its a g skill ripjaws v

[sharp coyote]

It has but nobody does that that anymore

In my view

Although hynix rules

On ddr5

[sharp coyote]

Few are c-die on that
3600 18-22-22-22-42? Kit

[twin badger]

Mine is 3200 mhz

[wispy mesa]

you have 3200mhz ddr5?

[sharp coyote]

No

[twin badger]

...

[sharp coyote]

Ddr4

[twin badger]

DDR4

[wispy mesa]

ah

[sharp coyote]

16:20:20:20:36/42 then

Likely

[twin badger]

It was cl16 for sure

[sharp coyote]

Ya

Most 3200 ones are cl16 ones

For now

[twin badger]

Either way, a solid kit if i say so myself

It just works ™️

[sharp coyote]

Yeah

Im myself into oc

Well ram oc is most worth for now

[twin badger]

Dont think i can squeeze more out of that 8x4 config

The IMC is probably already working hard to keep it stable lol

[sharp coyote]

U could do some timings but amd cpu right

[twin badger]

I am on 5700x3d

[sharp coyote]

Dang then dosent matter

Tuning

Trrds/L tfaw only matter then

Twtrs/l

[twin badger]

Gibberish to me lol

I havent dabbled into ram OCing

I just slapped on the xmp profile and called it a day

[sharp coyote]

Yeah

That's okay

X3d cares noticable less Abt timings

Than non x3d

[twin badger]

[sharp coyote]

I have a 5800x3d/5800x/5600x myslef

[wispy mesa]

you dont know which one?

[sharp coyote]

What?

I have them all lol

5800x is for hwbot

5800x3d for gaming

xD

[twin badger]

Quite a collection huh

true AM4 connoisseur

[sharp coyote]

Naa

Compared to sub zero overclockers

Thats very low

[twin badger]

Obviously

but 3 is more than 1

[sharp coyote]

Yes

[jovial tide]

I still have my FX processor 😭 shit was a literal heater even with an AIO

[sharp coyote]

Fx6300 godly for ov

Oc

If u have that

[jovial tide]

Yeah, surprisingly I was able to squeeze a LOT of power out of that thing

Yep that's the one

[twin badger]

Anyone has a recommendation for decent wireless earbuds? I have unfortunately lost my last ones and looks like i'll need a replacement...

[cold elbow]

cheap soundcore would do good

[twin badger]

Whats that

[cold elbow]

i have the R50i which was like 20$

[snow rover]

air pod

[frail lark]

Who here knows how to configure a Monitor that can help me?

[spiral jasper]

7800xt is probably the better deal

[latent drum]

what do we expect for a 5000 series

[timber timber]

Guys I have a question

[timber timber]

Hey

[jovial tide]

Anyone here ever get a delivery via DHL? I was wondering if they ever deliver late. My package says it's out for delivery, but it's 7:30pm

[civic cloud]

Latest is like 9pm

But there's a chance the driver just couldn't finish his trip today

[timber timber]

Guys

[exotic patrol]

guy

[cold elbow]

You mean a rebadged 6800 xt

Maybe look in the used market before you make the move.

[spiral jasper]

i dont want anything used

i just dont trust people that much

but the 7800xt is better than the 6800xt right?

[rapid lake]

I suppose bigger number means better

[timber timber]

Guys does intel b660 have wireless wifi

[spiral jasper]

intel b660?

[rapid lake]

There’s wired wifi?

[timber timber]

Do I need a wire to use wifi if I have an intel b660

[spiral jasper]

i found a 6950xt for 614 euro

what about that

[rapid lake]

You don’t need a wire if you have wifi, no

[timber timber]

Do you know what I mean tho bc some motherboards doesn’t have wireless wifi

[rapid lake]

The b660 does

It has wifi

[timber timber]

Are you 100% sure

[rapid lake]

No

But you can ask google

[timber timber]

So I can just connect the wifi to the pc if it has intel b660 like I can on my phone

[timber timber]

It does not give me a direct answer

[rapid lake]

Oh really

What does it say

[timber timber]

The chipset supports integrated Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) solutions,2 which enables fast and reliable connections across new 6 GHz Wi-Fi channels.

[rapid lake]

Right

[timber timber]

What does it mean

[rapid lake]

You’re joking

[timber timber]

No im noob

[timber timber]

Idk what integrated means

[rapid lake]

It has wifi, same way your phone does

[timber timber]

Wireless

[rapid lake]

Means it’s in the mobo, you don’t need an external USB bit to connect tto wifi

[timber timber]

So it has wifi in the mobo

Which means its wireless

Right?

[rapid lake]

@exotic patrol can you help this is a really hard question

[timber timber]

I usually ask him stuff but he did not answer

[rapid lake]

Comfy has a certificate in wireless wifi connectivity

[timber timber]

Comfy has helped me a lot with pc questions

[rapid lake]

Me too

[cold elbow]

Meh

[brave field]

The chipset having wifi support in hardware and the board having a wifi adapter are different

What specific motherboard are you looking at? @timber timber

[timber timber]

Intel b660

[brave field]

That's not a motherboard, but a chipset. Many motherboards include that chipset

[exotic patrol]

there is a whole load of b660

[timber timber]

Oh

[brave field]

Send a link to the product you're looking at

[spiral jasper]

intel makes CPU's not motherboards

[timber timber]

Oh

[exotic patrol]

ye but it looks like a gigabyte motherboard

[wispy mesa]

is this the same prebuilt

[spiral jasper]

do you maybe know the brand of the motherboard?

[timber timber]

No

[timber timber]

Let me check

[exotic patrol]

i just said its gigabyte

[timber timber]

ASUS PRIME H610M-A WIFI D4

Is that the mobo

[wispy mesa]

that is a mobo but not b660

[timber timber]

Oh

But that is then the mobo

Does it support wireless wifi

[wispy mesa]

it has on board wifi yes

[brave field]

That board comes with a wifi adapter, yes

[timber timber]

Wait what

Does it have wireless wifi

Or do I need something to use wifi on it

Can’t I do it wireless like a phone and console can

[exotic patrol]

you just need to download the driver and it will work

like your phone

[timber timber]

What is the driver

[exotic patrol]

a driver is like an app (not really) but this app allows windows to see the wifi module in the motherboard and interact with it

[timber timber]

Then I need wifi to install right

[brave field]

This is a prebuilt PC, yeah? The driver should be preinstalled

[exotic patrol]

oh right

ye dont worry about that then

[timber timber]

So will it have wirless wifi like my phone has

[exotic patrol]

ye

[timber timber]

Or will I need an adapter

[brave field]

Wifi is wireless
The adapter is built in. You're all set and shouldn't need to do anything extra.

[exotic patrol]

no

[timber timber]

Thank u

[brave field]

I missed the $130 5700X3D and then missed the $200 3060ti

And then a $70 7.2 receiver

These past 6 months have had some 2018-level deals

[civic cloud]

[twin badger]

That's tuff, love my 5700x3d

[brave field]

What've you got paired with it?

[twin badger]

3070 ti

[brave field]

Nice

You play at 1440p?

[twin badger]

1080p

[brave field]

Does your GPU mostly take a nap in games?

[twin badger]

Depends on the game i am playing really

In GTA for the most part its chilling

CPU does more of the heavy lifting

It's kinda why i got this CPU, i knew it would be awesome in 1080p

[brave field]

I imagined a 3070 ti wouldn't even hit 50% 3d util at 1080p but some of the new UE5 games seem to hurt GPUs of all kinds

[twin badger]

I don't really play the newest games

simply no interest to pay for games that are not at all ready products

[twin badger]

Well, in Far Cry 5 it gets up to that 95-99% mark even at 1080p

Also, realistically since my CPU can push out more frames, more frames also means higher GPU utilization

[brave field]

Makes sense

Are there any games you play where the 5700X3D sees a challenge?

Like those games that are measured in sim/turn times, or physics sandboxes?

[twin badger]

No, not really

At least so far the chip has been able to run everything i throw at it

[snow rover]

modern youngsters are so knowledgeable about tech!

kill me

[cold elbow]

There are a lot of b660 intel motherboards... which one is yours?

[brave field]

households are probably more likely to have two phones per person than a working desktop. This is fair.

[nova steppe]

Damn wtf, our 5.1 was like, $200 on-sale 😭

[nova steppe]

I can max out the GPU in cyberpunk

[brave field]

Ah, I still need to play 2.0!

[lost fossil]

bro

there is no such thing as wireless wifi

[timber timber]

It is

[lost fossil]

it's either wired (ethernet) or wireless (wifi)

[snow rover]

wifi is literally a wireless network protocol

[timber timber]

Oh ethernet is when its wired and wifi is when its not wired?

[snow rover]

not necesarily

[timber timber]

Intel® Core™ i5-12400F processor
1 TB SSD & 16 GB RAM
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3050 OC
ASUS PRIME H610M-A WIFI D4
Phanteks Eclipse G360A Mid Tower

[snow rover]

but there is no such thing as wired wifi

[timber timber]

This is what im getting

To play fortnite and fivem

[snow rover]

hopefully you aren't paying much above 400

[exotic patrol]

[timber timber]

900

[snow rover]

that sucks

[exotic patrol]

but it's a pre-built so what'd you expect

[timber timber]

Are you swedish

[snow rover]

no i'm handbrandsläckare

[timber timber]

Datorn är från netonnet

[snow rover]

https://www.komplett.se/product/1317036/demovaror/datorer/komplett-pc/demobrukt/komplett-pc-epic-gaming-b-grade

for about 100 more this would be like

a lot better

nv2 ssd kinda eek but

[lost fossil]

skipper had one die here just a few weeks ago as u know...

[snow rover]

yeah isn't great

sell and buy something better for a few bucks more

[sharp coyote]

Basically russian roulette

With nv2

[rapid lake]

Where do you get that for 400

[snow rover]

presumably nowhere

[brave field]

not many places but there should be better value systems for a bit more

[sour marsh]

ngl seeing a komplett link in an english serer is weird

[civic arch]

swedish people are not good

[brave field]

we love komplett

[short pendant]

Should I upgrade my cpu from an i3 8100 to an i7 9700 or buy a new CPU?

[brave field]

depends on the price of the 9700. How much is it?

If its sufficiently cheap vs going current gen, and you need the extra cores, it might be an okay pick for a while, but you'll likely be wanting an upgrade within a few years if you do get it

[prisma trellis]

Anyone here own a BackBone one and is it good? I plan on getting one since I'm away from home most of the time due to school on weekdays, and I don't want to be using a fucking controller mount at school to cloud play Xbox games

[short pendant]

I can get an i7 from 100 to 120 U$D

[brave field]

@short pendant If that's a 9700, try and talk the seller down as low as you can

[short pendant]

Alright

[fervent granite]

I had one but returned it because it wouldn’t work right with my case

The only way it would fit on my 14 pro was with the adapter which would fit but at an angle which didn’t look good

Do Not Buy NZXT | Predatory, Evil Rental

i mean

that's the point, right? i'm buying, not renting, so what's the big deal?

[civic arch]

is this gonna make nzxt die

that case thing gn did actually made their sales bad

or are stupids kids still gonna rent a pc

whole thing sounds stupid to me

why not just pay it off in a year with a loan or payment plan

[snow rover]

because people aren't smarty

[civic arch]

some companys have 0% interest rates on payment plans

my phone was 400€ and i took a year plan and paid 400€

[twin badger]

Thats what boggles my mind, it's literally more logical to just take a loan from a bank and pay it off in like 2 years and still end up paying wayyyyy less than what NZXT is asking for 5 fucking years

[civic arch]

i noticed that the pricing was so high you would pay it off in a year almost

if you just loaned money

not rent

[civic arch]

children cant get loans

i feel like they advertise to younger people

cuz tiktok

i kinda wonder if many people rented it

need to check reddit

and again i wonder how people are this stupid

[twin badger]

Children also can't really afford to splurge $120 a month on a PC...

So the involvement of a parental figure is definite

[civic arch]

maybe the parent wont read the terms or know better?

[civic arch]

they could get some monthly allowance?

or earn small amounts

[nova steppe]

Have you seen some of the people in this server and also this channel specifically?

[civic arch]

i know that guy its me

[nova steppe]

[twin badger]

At that point, why not just save up and buy the PC honestly

And since you are gonna be on a stricter budget, you are not gonna overpay the ridiculous amounts that NZXT is charging

[civic arch]

but what if you need it now

and cant wait

[twin badger]

Nah, i am still not doing it

I have lived for long enough without a good gaming PC

it's more than possible

[civic arch]

people these days want it all instantly

[twin badger]

Bit of a generalization

[civic arch]

have you not noticed

[twin badger]

Also, let's say you need it now - then why tf can't you just go to any other retailer that sells prebuilt gaming PC's and get one there for a monthly payment?

You are still gonna be paying way less

[civic arch]

cuz you know nzxt because of their aggressive marketing

and they advertised themself more

the rent thing must make money if they bother doing it

so someone is renting them

[snow rover]

not necessarily

nzxt has enough money to just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks

[nova steppe]

Upon reflection, the answer to most of your questions is either "Time," "Money," or "Time and money". Kinda funny, honestly

[twin badger]

I am pretty sure more people know about Walmart than NZXT

[latent drum]

iam renting a 7th gen dell opti for 499$ a month if anyone is interested

[outer oxide]

Tf

[junior flax]

what cpu upgrade is worth it from 5600x?

looking to upgrade to am5

9700x seems good

[sharp coyote]

Isnt worth

Usually

[junior flax]

ye i just like running simulation games and feel like my cpu is pulling my system back

[lost fossil]

just because *800x3d exist, doesn't mean that 9700x is a bad deal

[cold elbow]

A 5700x3d

[civic cloud]

AMD should make their portfolio smaller by making 1. A budget cpu, 2. Gaming CPU (X3D) and a productivity CPU with lots of cores but not so many cores like Epyc🤝

Easier to compare and less different SKUs

[sharp coyote]

No not that

Its usually badly priced

[lost fossil]

can't complain about my 7800xd that i got for an equivalent of $330

[latent bloom]

whats the best options to upgrade my rtx 2060? willing to spend around $500-$600

[civic arch]

7800xt or 7900 gre from amd and 4070 from novideo

or a 4070 super

4060 ti 16gb is also a good choice

[latent bloom]

ok thanks, and sorry i forgot to specify but im only interested in nvidia

[lost fossil]

look at this hater smh smh

he's the reason he's paying 4 digits for an 80 series

[latent bloom]

wdym hater? i just want DLSS and Ray Tracing

[lost fossil]

nothing wrong with that but ur creating a market for shitty games that can't hit 60 fps without upscaling

[civic cloud]

Me buying a 3080 during crypto boom and covid

[civic cloud]

No just don't buy those games

[lost fossil]

which i don't

[civic cloud]

slay

im gonna be playing factorio for another few hundred hours fr

[civic arch]

im clarifying the 4060 ti 16gb was a joke

that thing is horrible value

it costs 50€ more than a 7800xt

oh not 50€ only 30€

[civic arch]

is the space age dlc worth the 32€

[civic cloud]

absolutely

theres so SO much additional content its insane

makes the 32€ for the base game look outright overpriced

[civic arch]

i might need to get it then

powerful gpu and plays factorio

i dont i ever hit a cpu abuse point of the factory size yet

[civic cloud]

one of my other favourite games is Supreme Commander FA from 2012 :)

[civic cloud]

i only manage to make the game lag when i place like 2 million concrete blueprint

[civic cloud]

yesssssssssss

im playing with a friend but he cant play as much, so its basically just me playing lol

its been like 60 hours on this map

or more

[civic arch]

damn

sad

[plucky raft]

🤣

[civic cloud]

its ok theres time where its the opposite

we all got lifes

[cold elbow]

oh yeah the 4060 ti is such a bad value but poeple still buying them soooo

nvidia gonna jack up the prices even more

[frail lark]

who here knows about coding?, preferably in-depth

[plucky raft]

Preferably ask your question

Instead of asking to be asked

[rapid lake]

Real

[frail lark]

I want a program or something that makes this:

Allow me to load a Pic, either PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, any format to it, with a limit of 4096 Pixels Long and 4096 Pixels Wide (a little higher than 4K)

In a separate Tab, Allow me to type manually Hex Codes, with a Miniature Square that shows the actual color I'm typing, up to 1000 Different Colors chosen by the User

Then when i click Start, the Programs compare each single pixel with each one of the User Colors, calculating their RGB Differences like ((R-R)+(G-G)+(B-B))/3, then choosing the Color with the smallest Value of that calculation and applying it to a new Pic Generator, Pixel by Pixel, and export the New File in any format as well

[snow rover]

so you want someone to do your software development unpaid

[frail lark]

And if there are 2 User Colora that have the same value after the calculation and are the lowest values as well, as the User to choose a new color

[frail lark]

That's the second part

[frail lark]

I wanted a person to teach me

[rapid lake]

Are you asking for help making it or asking someone to do it

Because either way it’s not gonna happen I’m afraid

[frail lark]

Asking for how to make it and teach me about how that coding works, because i actually would like to learn something like that

[rapid lake]

If you’ve already started on it and got stuck somewhere and need help figuring something out, stackoverflow will probably help, just make sure you word your post in a way that doesn’t look like you want others to make code for you because it will get removed by mods

[rapid lake]

People pay to learn coding/get paid to teach it so

You’re asking for too much

[snow rover]

epic embed fail

[rapid lake]

avif

Tf

[snow rover]

also you can get python courses on udemy for free/very cheap pretty often

no idea if they're good

this is not sponsored

[frail lark]

I know that what i want is not so hard to code, but I'm okay by paying around $5-$10 for teaching me how to do it

[wispy mesa]

Easy done with a .net gui app heaps of free tutorials out there

[wispy mesa]

If you want 1-1 training on a project like that expect to pay 30ish an hour

[frail lark]

$30‽

[wispy mesa]

Yes

[frail lark]

Average?, or minimum…?

[wispy mesa]

Average probably

[frail lark]

Am poor

[wispy mesa]

Better start teaching your self, heaps of free stuff to do so

[frail lark]

Thanks man

Thank you guys tho

collatz conjecture

[keen jolt]

Is it possible to connect to my Xbox on a Hotel TV? It’s an LG

[nova steppe]

just plug it into the HDMI port like any other TV?

[arctic yarrow]

You'll also need to switch inputs to the right input. In my experience, LG tv inputs are difficult to change.

[keen jolt]

I did and nothing

[keen jolt]

I didn’t see an input option

[fickle finch]

Got this switch from someone to play with. Can fully configure it with console cable @exotic patrol

[wispy mesa]

Whats the name of it

[fickle finch]

Catalyst 3560-C

[wispy mesa]

Nice good for cameras i guess

[agile siren]

You will likely get more features to play with in CML (or higher end switch) then this. ill suggest play with this for the features it provides and for other things, hop on to CML.

[fickle finch]

I wanted to try and setup a home lab with a server, firewall, etc

need budget options

[agile siren]

Just use CML. There is a free version available now,

[fickle finch]

oh

[agile siren]

and personal version is 25% off

right now

[fickle finch]

cisco modeling labs?

[agile siren]

24 hours ago it was 40% for 4 hours

[agile siren]

yes

[fickle finch]

how come i didnt see this dam

[agile siren]

or u can just transfer the free version's images in GNS3

[fickle finch]

it has an access duration 😕

[agile siren]

access duration?

free version?

[fickle finch]

oh free

[agile siren]

yes paid version has 1 year.

[fickle finch]

This is new apparently?

[agile siren]

free version is.. free.

yes new

introduced few days ago

[fickle finch]

I see

[agile siren]

with CML 2.8
