dude, it was and still a paid software and only way to get hands on virtual device images to lab/practice besides having a cisco contract or something. now its available for free with some limitation, but still good enough for someone who just want to play around with some features or practice on tiny labs.
no
Bitch
it was a joke
-_-

https://youtu.be/bl22smBooyE?t=260 "let's put some load on the minor" aris hold up

We bought several highly affordable (others call them cheap) power supplies and put them to the test, to check if they are safe to use in a modern system. This is part #2 of our El Cheapo Power Supplies series.
You will find part #1 here: https://youtu.be/bWBzu80so0A
If you want to listen to our expert advice, DON"T trust your system on cheap...
😰
Low end Ce-link moment
Same for gf a3 kekw
Are you guys excited for new intel ARC gpus?
the redemption arc
Yeah more competition is always good for consumers
But this chart can be a bit misleading because it is representing perfomance per dollar and not actual performance 
In reality i dont think B580 is gonna be 32% faster than 4060
front intel cherry picked benchmarks they seem kinda horrible
RTX 2070 super ass level of performance
Atleast it has 12gigs vram unlike 4060 with only 8💀
these are coming out in 2025
shelf life of milk?
if AMD launching all cheap first in janurary like their leaked road map then intel is already more shitters in
in the US not global
i guess it does make sense to launch both in other places at the same time
they probably dont want to miss out on christmas season or whatever
249
They said it’s 1440 p gpu
unless Nvidia decides to re launch the 3060 again somehow or AMD fucks this completey up, i seriously dont understand where this card fits in the current market yet teh future one
But we will see 😅😅
Yeah
is the 2070 a 1440p gpu?
Obviously u are not gonna expect it to run new games at 1440p
doesnt that just puts it at the A770 level?
Yeah
It is a 1080p card at best for new games because most games are unoptimized 
With upscaling
But def not native
What cpu are you gonna pair it up with
the only recent game that card hit native 1440p without i failed at programming assist scaling is god of war
from 2018
which is already an insanely optimized game
4060?
Oh
Well Intel must have handpicked best performing games
it really sucks dick for a card releasing in 2025
Better to wait for a comparison vid from Hardware unboxed when it launches on 13th
Bruh
even if it was just like 259$ for the limited edition, AIB cards have a 300$ MSRP
It is still better than 4060
atleast on paper,specs wise
intel is claiming its 10% faster
over all
Because most newer games require more vram at high/ultra settings
and 10% slower in raster from what i understand

the card does seem to have very fast ray tracing and thats what intel is banking on
Yeah but i dont think ray tracing is a useful feature for budget segment
yeah '
to be fair if someone with 2 braincells is going to buy a budget gpu, they arent getting a 4060
Sure it is good to have but what's the point in playing at 20fps with path tracing 
a person getting a 4060 is getting a 4060 for a nvidia specific thing
Fr
like a Uni program or some editing program, or low budget blender
since intel and AMD at this point suck at most stuff outside of gaming
Atleast with more competition it will force nvidia and amd to lower down the price of 4060 and rx7600
the 7600 xt is already at like 300-320$ for AIBs
which is faster than a 4060 and got like 16gb of vram
Yeah but i was talking about the non xt one
that isnt really a fair comparison but yeah
intel wanting to hit that 270$ so badly is as shitty as nvidias founder editions

remember to buy used
if you can buy used, you can get next gen performance for less money
and you keep money circulating outside of their pockets
telling them "maybe next time next gen perforance shouldnt be in last gen as well"
I think intel launching a really cheap card might get them somewhere because guys dont forget these cards support new technologies like AV encoder and more ray tracing cores...
Plus having good amount of vram so some people will find good use in these
I think everyone is just waiting for how drivers are going to be.
majority of people dont care about av encoders, or linux support
thats the reality check part
these cards arent even cheap to make, hence why intel is doing the 270$ for a limited time
their die sizes are ugly big
the position intel is in right now is tough
they need to offer something to the table, real claps
a single good gpu can be the game changer like the 5700xt
are the temps low tho? 
we do not know
on the previous gen i mean
the TDP is 200W, way higher than cards in that teir
amd and intel can't keep their cpus cool (for the amount of power that they draw, anyway) bc their dies are the size of a pinky nail
same as the 4070 is impressive lol
if this card has a yuge die then that's a lot of surface area so it will probably be able to stay cool
as big as a 4070
same power as a 4070
not a 4070
tbf if intel was selling 300$ 4070 it would make nvidia and AMD shit themself
like actually do
if intel is selling a 4070 at 300$ at HALF the die size then god knows what the fuck the B770 is like
black magic 4080 TI type shit at 400$
Not necessarily true. Way more people in general trust Nvidia and will buy it, because they are more familiar with the brand.
Brand recognition goes a long way
especially for the less tech savvy
They are looking decent, i just want their software to mature up
And that is gonna take a while
But i do see the potential
it does
AMD and Intel both are losing market share
iam talking about a tech literate person
not NPC mega consumers that buy the package
I mean... what as a tech literate person would you really expect from a 4060? Ok, there's DLSS but that's about it, raytracing is pointless, productivity is gonna be meh due to the VRAM amount
It's not even deserving the name of a 4060
the specs sheet is more reminiscent of a 4050
if you are on a tight budget and you need a nvidia card you have to buy a nvidia card
either for university or something that requires it
At least do it in a smart way then, buy last gen
some recent stuff only run on the 30-40 series which sucks but that will change in the future
what stuff?
Sc stuff
?
thats really niche though
because it is
Even the die of it is a 107
if you have looked at the least leaks all the way back
like around 6 months before the 4000 series came out
the 4050 had the same specs as the current 4060
some of them are on 106
that goes for all of them since nvidia changed how the lineup works
early 2024 nvidia started making 4070s on 104
Either way, its pretty strange how there is no 4050 anymore
nope, that changed few months ago
theres 4060
nvidia burning all the dies
they are literally willing to kill the cores than discount shit
Even if they changed it up, majority of the cards will have 107
yeah, iam just saying how scummy they are
Eh, water is wet, they have been scummy for like a decade now
dating all the way back to the 970
i sadly cant move away from them
Thats the unfortunate part
they do have some stuff in gaming as well
Just not enough competition
this is running way better than i expected for a celeron
at 6watts
Gotta love how it's "RTX" but doesn't even support raytracing

My windows 10 install idles on 1.3 GB ram
Which version
Latest
I do have 22h2 dual booted and it idles on 2.2
U should use the install script and reinstall windows
that's a clean windows install
oh that
It will remove and disable all the crap
no I did use it on 10 and didn't do much
I think the reason why it doesn't matter is because windows update will just reinstall all of it and because it's a laptop it will reinstall a whole bunch of drivers and pretty much every single one of them has its own bloatware app
Nope
You probably didn't use the same file i used because it removes stuff even from registry
well send the file
Even window update wont bring them back
let me see
nap
Power napping for 20min is the key 🤝
Right
So you sleep long enough that you feel guilty you wasted valuable time, but short enough that it doesn’t actually matter
Therefore you get to work
And this is math so it’s totally relevant to this channel
No I can either feel miserable during the afternoon eepyness or I just lay down and take my nap and feel better afterwards
ok
I guess we're not seeing that file today
She's probably napping
I mean, she did say that 
Aint no power nap lasting 20 minutes for me
Usually far too tired
That was a bit excessive nap
ok but where's the file
there ya gooo
Scary scary
Windows could not parse the unattend answer file because value <ProductKey> is invalid
Ok I added a generic product key to the file
let's see if the 1.3gb of ram is real or not
i think its safe to say that file did nothing
Chrome only takes 200mb so it's not that
Wtf is that
Looks like a fucking foot
Looks like a sex toy
Right?!
That's an iron
Wish it was
What is it then
Oh of course, like i got the will power to do math all of a sudden.
Dönt be like John from the math problems xD
Having to solve John's shit. He should do it himself
Man up John
😭
y u crying
hm 
using google is crazy when i got you guys here
gus you are cooked
fym cooked, its been like this for years
yeah but i never had an internal drive being detected as removable unless it's a vm or the drive is connected via a pcie sata controller
goofy ahh board
gigabyte bs
the price is just you wasting money not like getting something better
I come to bargain!
A friend wants a PC. His budget is 1500-2000. Gaming probably, with future upgradability, probably 2-4tb storage. (Whether this is 2 m.2 or SATA is just budgetary) No preference on GPU other than probably 30 series minimum
What resolution is he gaming at?
This price does not include peripherals
He has no moniter/keyboard/mouse
He has a moniter I guess. Some $1000 144hz 4k moniter he bought for ps5
At a price point this big he shouldn't even be considering a 30 series and shoot for 40 series from Nvidia or 7000 series from AMD
Then again, 50 series is supposed to launch soon, but it's not very clear what the pricing and availability will be for that
Perhaps he can wait it out just a little longer and see how that goes?
@unreal iron https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jLpf9C Just a quick one i put together, i think this should be a decent build, at least i think so, perhaps there's a thing or 2 someone else would change out but it looks ok to me 
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 7700, GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, Phanteks XT PRO ULTRA ATX Mid Tower
clean
I was gonna put a phantom spirit, but that's out of stock, so peerless assassin it is, should be plenty for a 7700 anyways
TIL 7800X3D is $500, goodness!
I've neglected researching the DDR5 platforms because of prices and they're still so expensive
Maybe it'll start getting better Q3 of 2025
SN850X being more expensive than 990 Evo Plus is interesting. Samsung tends to charge significantly more than competitors with similar specs
what about samsung PM983 on ali? 
thank
@lost fossil china market don't count
Plus I'm mad at ali
5700X3D sale ended 18 hours earlier than advertised
And the second place seller vanished
as they all do
Welp, the motherboard doesn't seem to have a gen 5 slot anyways and i am sure gen 4 is plenty fast
we're a while away from games saturating SATA, kinda amazing to think about
yeah, my drives are in a hot swap bay and show up as removable devices in windows
Psu is no

Gf3 tt is best out of these options
Rme IS on 1000w territory while being mediocre
And this
Instead of sn850x
No difference in gaming
Similiar performing ssds but p41> sn850x
Idk why I thought the last link was a phone at first glance
I made a bot recently to help with coding, 10/10
@sharp coyote Overall, pretty nitpicky changes
Pricing also fluctuates all the time
One can be more expensive than the other and vice versa
Yeah Im aware but gf3 tt is noticable ahead
Than low end rme
Which is HEC
Same as sl-850g asrock
Which is slightly worse than rme but in a bigger housing

I have never seen a TT unit be preferred over a Corsair unit, wowza
since it came out
Since when it came out
Even jonny himself says that
Except gf a3
Which was hardware swapped
From HEC-> CE-LINK
Ce-link blew up on 25°C testing
We have have 3 gens of rme's
3rd one is most quietest.
But all have coil whine
Which is pretty normal with 3.0
smh fine
i am not a PSU geek
i simply chose an option i thought would be pretty decent
cant expect me to know every single in and out of a PSU
but really there are a bunch of options for a good PSU, he doesnt necessarily have to copy everything i put in that list, the prices, as i said, always fluctuate.
Comes down to pricing yes
Although rme has never been for a good price
I really only chose that one because i knew for sure that it has that 12WHPR connector
Not dedicated one
?
PSU?
SEASONIC 👍
Or any seasonic rebadged psu like some of corsair psus or NZXT C series
No
"nzxt's bullsh response nzxt"

Hating on the 🐐?
finally got me gigabit upstairs

holy hell how do some people play 60hz
feels like vaseline on display and mouse has insane latency
imagine all the people living happily playing on their nintendo switches and steam decks
does rog ally have higher refresh?
if you never tried above 60hz you dont feel it
i used to happily play on xbox one
yes but reasonably you're going to be playing at 30 fps on handhelds
gta runs on like 24fps on ps3
I'm trying to get an ssd and ram upgrade for this ideapad 330 15-igm I believe it only supports a 2.5 sata 3 ssd and 2400mhz 8gb ram max so I'm not sure what to get
I know it's probably not worth it but it makes the thing usable instead of being e-waste
u cant upgrade the ram?
or its soldered to the mobo?
It's upgradeable but I think there's one unsoldered slot and a soldered 4gb
U can put more than 8 for sure
ye but with a celeron would that really help
I don't think the celeron will be able to multi task running more than 3 apps at once and they definitely don't need more than 8gb
Steam Deck is so nice when I don't feel like getting on my PC
that much?
Having more ram means a lot of stuff stays open in the back so the cpu doesn't have to load them again whenever you need them.
Maybe it wont matter for your use but you can definitely have more than 8gb ram
idk the lenovo website says it can't and some people who have tried say that the bios just gives up when you do
for my use case not really worth the risk
Lenovo moment
fr
Hot
i have this but with the cpu 8pin power header, is there a safe and non-ignitable way to glue it back in place?
(not my pic)
googling the issue returns unrelated bs
As long as the glue doesn't conduct electricity, there should be no risk. There's a chance the wrong glue could introduce resistance (and thus, a bit of heat) if it touches any of the pins but I have no idea how one would prep for that
Maybe just glue down the outermost edges of the connector?
This looks like a feature not a bug
Just put it in its place and use tiny drop of super glue from the side
Is Twitter mobile super laggy all the time for anyone else
Rtx 3060 getting more fps than 4060 in Indiana Jones at 1440p due to more vram

Also with 4060 u can only select low textures otherwise it will exceed vram limit 💀
With 3060 u can select Very Ultra textures
in the end i put a kind of a ring of super glue around the pins and a
on the housing
shit's never coming off again
A bit excessive but alright
I feared some of it might sneak on the actual pins that's why i mentioned a tiny drop
it was just a smidge and on the outer perimeter (isn't a perimeter technically already "outer"? and how do americans call a perimeter?)
maybe tanisha will call my dogass if she stopped fucking with that brain surgeon or lawyer she's fucking with
mobo
idk man it seems like the mobo came with a quality crop of thermal pads bc they were juicy as hell and so that thermal pad juice probably dissolved some of the glue used in these connectors
it's an asrock steel legend, and before you start talking shit, i had an asrock mobo before that in another pc (still have it actually) and the power connector there is snug and solid
Honestly, the spec sheet for the game is all around just....dumb as hell.
It's just the modern standard at this point to include Frame Gen and DLSS/FSR 3 to just brute force optimization. It'd be nice if it was included as an optional thing for those who have weaker cards, but instead, I have to run DLSS on my brand new PC because the devs don't give a shit about optimizing their game
Indiana Jones overall has good optimization apart from high vram usage
Rtx 3060 can easily get 60fps at Ultra Settings 1440p
Have you considered playing factorio or doom eternal? Both very well optimized games and factorio is extremely bug free :)
also no micro transactions bs in factorio
The new DLC for factorio turned me off
Good
35 dollars for a DLC is wild
It's insane, worth it
The game itself is 32€ and the DLC is also 32€
Base game has one planet
DLC has 4 new planets and also a bunch of new mechanics
Definitely increases playtime by x4 or smth
I'd like to think it's an overhaul, but it's essentially community mods just bundled into the main game 
If it was content I didn't already experience via mods, I'd have no problem putting money down on a proper overhaul.
The dude who made Space Exploration is also the dude who worked on Space Age
so yes it's a bunch of mods and QoL improvements but as a official DLC

iOS users, you don't know what you're missing from Android...

next mouse is going to have optical wheel because this sucks
Or use some perfume

Why perfume ?

Intel destroys RTX 4060 with B580 (12GB VRAM) and 250$!
If I would be building budget rig right now 
I really hope Intel gets a solid footing in the GPU scene, they're making good progress
three way competition of Teams RGB will be great for consumers
- hopefully their 18A process node brings them back to solid ground in the CPU scene too, consumer wise at least
he proclaimed the magic words
that's not going anywhere
Lets assume "for the sake of science" there is an ethernet cable (for the sake of science) with female ports on each side
What the fuck is that used for
Extension
A stupid way to make an extention but im pretty sure there's a good reason for their making
is there any open source email organize application or extension that helps me to delete unwanted mails in an instant
i found inbox zero from git but not tested it out
Imagine two ethernet cables with male ports on each side
That connect into said cable with two female ports
Normal people would just use one of these
And have two males cable connected to either end
If you have two cables with their usual plugs and want to insert a cable in the middle of them then you will need female to female.
then why not just buy a longer cable?
As what other person above said
Im sure there's a good reason for this
Tbh i have a female to female type c cable and i have a use for it
tbh a lot of modern type Cs are female to female
especially with SFC/UFC charging wall plugs that are type c
Nevermind yea I was having a moment
You're right
its funny they're called that 🤭

I added the ssd and ram and it no longer boots
nice
time to spend 2 years figuring out why
comfy finally moving to pc 
Would assume it's a ram issue
no it's the old dead laptop I showcased a while ago
that would really suck because that would indicate that the bios either cant underclock 3200mhz to 2400mhz or doesn't support higher than 4gb which would be extremely disappointing
I'm hoping it's some loose connection
that's best case scenario but if the old ram works then sure the ssd will give it a good boost but that ram bottleneck won't allow it to do much
put old ram stick in with new stuff (memory)
ye that's the plan
How to download gpu?
@wary pawn whats up my dude
I feel like I need some help
becasuse I have a project due in class and I cannot use MySql and I am inexperienced with it
Could be that or timing... ram really sensitive about timing
yep it boosts up with that old ram
Well that sucks
I'm gonna try to assemble the new ram one more time just in case it's that
ye no the new ram is the problem
Even tho people told me it was compatible
oh well
I guess no new ram for the old guy
Good thing I didn't risk 16gb
This thing is ridiculously picky
I have zero idea about mysql. 
wait
there is no reason this ram should be incompatible
Even the official crucial recommendation for this laptop has the exact same specs as the one I got
This makes no sense
No, what if you already have two male cables?
Me
Vez dm
How many ram slots
@wispy mesa Do you know MySql well
Ask the question here and i will try answer
I am trying to use MySql for a databse on my project and I am very inexperienced
I got that
I am asking if someone can help me build a database and help me with connetcting it to my Project on Visual Studios?
@wispy mesa
only one
I dont have time for that, but if you have questions you can ask
Ah ok thats annoying
I dont know, eat them or something
Am i the only person with like 7 billion ethernet cables in a stash
Why not just use like
Microsoft Access and use SQL conversion
Access is like
Databases for dummies
@supple walrus Im on a MacBook
use a Windows VM
What about SQL lite?
If you don't know how to build databases it's access or bust
or well, learn how to make them
My guy asked me to do his work
Yea doesnt surprise me
Seriously google is useful bro
Making a database isnt that hard nor is connecting it to a backend
Especially given how Microsoft Acess takes all the hard things out of it lmao
Never heard of that before, is it actually useful?
Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) from Microsoft that combines the relational Access Database Engine (ACE) with a graphical user interface and software-development tools. It is a member of the Microsoft 365 suite of applications, included in the Professional and higher editions or sold separately.
Microsoft Access stores da...

Does anyone here know a decent AI that can count how many times in a video/audio a specific word was repeated
xbox series s for gta6? yes or no
if i had to guess it'll be 30 fps
big red cross on that one 🚑
from experience no
unless you bare minimum want to play it
for the casual guy who doesn't care about fps then it's good enough
30fps cap?
they didn't tell us so
sigh
how changes have timed and turns have tabled now that console players talk about fps 
tbh up until ps5 era you didn't even have a fidelity or performance option
every game was just default settings so people didn't care
but when the average console player experienced higher fps obviously they started caring about it
It's like switching from console to pc and seeing the difference
is there really no way to change the taskbar size natively in w11
not even a registry hack?
even better transcribe the video text first then give it to an AI
Hey can someone help me out with my project? I have a hard time using MySql and database connection and I have an error on my proect

Yo
The CIA is watching
I am trying to put this domain in somebody's hands that will make good use
BuildAndHostMySite.com
Hey

How’s everybody doing
Its basically this meme, but the thing in question is the 60 fps mode for console
^ same question
air pod
android phone is not really good with those
so they are out of the question
you lose anc and all features cuz apple
it's the same audio quality but no anc
tho I'm pretty sure if you root you can activate it regardless
could this mean that my cable is dying or could it be my router?
keeps cutting out the wired connection
but the features
go into the router settings and lock the channel
see what it does
oh its ethernet my bad
it started happening today
what does a speedtest look like
like ookla?
sure
its half the speed of what i pay for, but it keeps going from below 100mbps to 200mbps
currently this while i pay for 200
gonna call the provider tomorrow
yeah that's not normal and your loaded ping is terrible
Yep
that would suggest router but what do i know
it could be the cable
but i dont want to replace it because the previous owner made it stupidly hard to
i would always check the cable first when possible
well can you just move your pc to use a different cable run
it goes trough the floor for ~15m trough a very narrow pipe with a bunch of bends
so checking would mean replace and its really stuck in that shit
I had a Cat 5e cable that was either mislabeled or had a fault, and it instead always ran at just Cat 5 speeds. I thought the problem was with my drives (was using with a NAS)
i'd be inclined to think the router is the issue more likely than the cable
might be, im gonna call the provider
a cable that doesn't move around just suddenly dying would be odd
i could have went fiberglass connection but i literally signed a 2 year deal with another provider when they started putting the connections in
Check if you can "upgrade" your plan to fiber, that will most likely reset the 2years tho
Nope
another Dutch L
The other provider has a contract that gives them exclusive rights to the fiber connections for 2 years
it deos
they paid the costs of putting down the cables and everything
they can't
They can though
other operator can just lay down their own fiber
Is it though?
battlemage is pretty cool
B sounds lame and boring
i don't really care about a 4060 level gpu though
Like the B boring boards
make a 4090 competitor and i'll be more interested
What's the percentage of people actually buying a 4090
The majority of users are in the midrange category so going for your interest is going to be stupid.
about 1% according to steam hardware survey
ye but i doubt most will foot the cost of laying down fiber for just one person unless they are likely to get alot of customers
Do not purchase. Do not purchase.
who says the operator is footing cost
Purchase. Purchase!!
Everyone who isn't filthy rich, you think normal people pay several grand to get fiber? Fucking no
i don't think several grand will cut it
Ok so your argument is even dumber then
To be fair, at that price point people want the best of the best and dethroning a 4090 is no easy feat.
No need to cater to less than 1% of 1% of your customers
@civic cloud waiting for RDNA4
I didn't read whatever it was they released saying they'd focus on budget and midrange
which still will likely not be within budget, but eh
No purchase. No purchase.
When's that coming?
I don't think I'm going to upgrade my 3080 any time soon
I only play factorio and other old games anyway lol
AMD's going to be at CES on January 6th, so we're likely to get news then. No clue if it'll actually focus on RDNA4 though
oh man how the turns have tabled 
rest in peace sweet baby
Kinda besides the point here.
I mean.... b580 is pretty wild wonder how the b780 will be
I hope its enough for people to take Intel seriously
Right? So far battlemage has done a great job for the low end. I hope it matures more with future driver updates.
I wonder what it would take for system integrators to start using AMD and Intel more
Nvidia's prices are high, and rightfully so, but it would be huge if HP Omen or Alienware were shipping with Battlemage next year
That's a good question.
Even if Intel wins over builders someday, Nvidia's marketshare is growing right now. Competition in prebuilts is even more important
Oh January 6th is a local holiday in Germany :)
What holiday happens then?
im kinda happy to see more competition
the b580 seems to be solid budget option
it seemed to perform pretty good
shitting on 7600 and 4060
intel also has xess which is pretty good already
prebuilds is the most important imo
its what the average joe is gonna buy
that why intel still has so much marketshare on cpu side
no it's because of userbenchmark 
even github is calling my code hacky wtf
tbh I've never seen that before
how bad is the code that github is showing it as a hack 💀
I am kidding
Github tends to mistake php code as hack code because its basically the same thing
ye I know but it's really funny
People already taking it seriously and stock is limited...
@civic arch apparently it was an issue with the provider
Couple colleagues have the same provider and had issues too

Why is my internet slower when using certain things like discord but otherwise it’s fine?
Loading images here takes ages whereas on whatsapp it’s really quick
And this is my speed
Internet speed mostly rely on how far the site server is and how much bandwidth it's giving to your location
Also, a lot of ISPs use a lot of caching to reduce the bandwidth they purchase from other countries and reduce the load on their infrastructure
Whatasapp or Facebook own servers everywhere and it's being heavily catched because a lot of people use it unlike discord
Likely because there might be momentary congestion in the path to nearest discord's node, likely a cloudflare node, while the other services which are running just fine like whatsapp are likely taking a different route to their servers which may not be congested. maybe its also possible that cloudflare DDos protection maybe acting weird and slowing down legit traffic hence discord being slow.
There could be multiple factors.
usually difficult to pinpoint.
Hello Tech channel friends, can you guys give me suggestions for good budget laptops for my parents? They had an Acer nitro 5 before and only do emails, Facebook and solitaire (and stuff like that)
A thinkpad would be sweet
lenovo ThinkPads?
So it might not have been the provider
i called them today and they said they couldnt see downtime on the network
they sent me a cable and asked if 7.5m was long enough, i said no.
She said thats the longest they have and i said ill buy one myself
"We dont recommend using other cables than the ones we provide"
well maybe you should provide cables that are long enough
Are they talking about ethernet cables?
ye
yeah i know
if the cable doesnt fix it im gonna see if i can buy out my contract
and switch to the provider with fiber glass connection
they have an offer right now
What about after the contract ends?
same prices
so 45/mo for a gig?
yeah
Yeah, I'd jump on that in a heartbeat
currently im paying 50 for 200mbps which is just insane
but i signed that contract a week before the other provider put down their fiber
I paid $140/mo with comcast for 300mbps before switching to google fiber. Now I pay $70/mo for a gig
so i have to see how much it would cost me to buy out my contract and if its worth it
idk if its just full price for the remaining months
if it is its not worth it
ive only had this contract for 6 months
current network is just unstable as fuck
Does it disconnect or is it slow?
Do you know if the disconnection happens on your local router or going out to your ISP?
One way to figure that out is to run a continuous ping to your gateway IP, and also to your ISP's server.
Try doing a trace route to google's dns (8.8.8.8), then run a continuous ping on your gateway ip and after your gateway ip.
open two instances of command prompt and type in "ping -t {ip address}", then keep an eye out while playing games, and see which one drops when you lose connection
i have no idea what you mean by that
if you open the command prompt, first type in "ipconfig" to find your gateway ip address. That's the ip address your router shows to your computer. After that, type in "tracert 8.8.8.8" to list the hops from your router to google's DNS. The hop after your gateway is your ISP's server.
default gateway?
so i just keep an eye on them and see what changes when i lose connection?
Yeah, if it's a problem on your ISP, only the ISP's ping requests will time out. If it's a problem going to your router, both will time out at the same time.
the second one says trace complete now
Go ahead and do a continuous ping for the IP address on the second hop
"ping -t {ip address}"
Correct
i shall return with the results
and ofcourse now my network stays up
lol
I call it the "intimidation factor".
The moment someone who works with tech looks at it, the problem no longer appears.
Omg skipper
omg me
@fallow forge just a random thought, but see if there's been an update for the Realtek LAN driver for your motherboard newer than the default.
Could actually just be the cable or something else, but that's something to tick off the troubleshooting list
sometimes a disable and re-enable from the sharing center helps for no discernible reason
@exotic patrol any specific model?
What about that vivobook that u got? Still pretty good laptop
soldered ram is 
Ill update that when i get home
I really doubt its the cable though because when it happens its in a regular interval, only cuts out for a secons or two and then connects again, and the internetspeed is 80-90mbps sometimes and other times its 180-200mbps
Even without any movement in the cable
If it was the cable you would expect it to do it constantly and not randomly
the skullest
the link speed in my pc constantly drops from 1000 to 100 and i have no idea what to do
because i think it's because of 220v interference from the power cable that goes right next to the ethernet cable and currently i can't have it any other way
vivobook? Ain't got one
Yes
all other laptops aspire to be like that one
Oreo with new pfp 
shh don't tell anyone 
Yet another trap
@arctic yarrow i have results
nothing
both the pings kept going while my ethernet disconnected
Wait, so it falls back on wifi?
Yeah
That's helpful to know. Is your ethernet driver up to date?
I'd also try another port on your router, just in case
My internet also disconnect randomly and kick me out of game
Does it happen to all your devices?
I will check if it happens again
do you have a microwave running on that cable
doubt it would matter tbat much
cat cable is shielded
no
i mean idk it shouldn't be a factor and it wasn't for quite some time
Hey hows everyone doing
hi
So Im upgrading from B550, R7 5800x and 32gb DDR4 to AM5, I need cpu ideas, the entire upgrade may not exceed 800$ ram, mb and cpu all within that budget.
Already settled for Asus B650 Aorus Elite ex ICE. And 4x16gb white ram, sadly 8gb sticks are nowhere to be found.
Fyi I use a white rtx 3070 for any bottleneck calculations taken into account for your suggestions
one sec
this is what I would go for https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7KJ9mD
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
you can add whatever cpu cooler you prefer
Dont do 4 sticks
On am5

paleolithic era bios
as god intended
that speed be bussin
remember the time when cpu temps didn't skyrocket the moment you put any load on it?
Get a better gpu instead
Getting any better gpu at this point ain't worth, it will just get bottlenecked by the cpu
However 3070 works great w r7 7800x3d but I'll probably go woth 7700x
What game gets bottlenecked by a 5800X?
The CPU "bottleneck" is almost negligible on 1440p or 4K in most games
the 5800x is fine for most GPUs higher than what you have
oh hey look they already compiled a list of them for you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Unreal_Engine_5_games
kek
aw so nice of them :)
For gaming 7600x=7700x
Did someone manage to model lucia from the GTA trailer and leaks
There is something about her model thats just unnatural to me
Like creepy ish
I'm sure you can find some models if you Google Lucia R34
Lol
I want something accurate, i dont know her face doesnt sit right with me
Its like that thing in the human mind that detects fake faces and stuff, first time getting triggered
Hopefully rockstar changes it, we have seen the ugly rdr2 models on the first announcement
uncanny valley?
Yeah
The reallife actor looks gorgeous though, i have no clue whats wrong about the model
My pc keeps getting really hot when idle or when i open chrome games always crash and sometimes it bluescreens when i try to turn it off
I look at a bench mark
its running 4.7ghz when idle
which is its max load
So i cant figure out what it is
Here are my bios settings
at me if you can find anything wrong
7600x is not worth the extra from a 7500f
the igpu on those sucks ass
I also run a 7600x and a thermalright assassin 120
i personally love how blurry most ue5 titles are
really adds to the experience when moving the camera
how high does the clock go when gaming
4.7 ghz because theres something wrong with it
Its also at it when idle
are the temps ok?
No
is that assassin 120 the single fan tower
Yes
and cpus have pretty ass idle consumptionn
my 7500f uses like 30w idle from the io die alone
i think like 50c idle with a 240mm aio
30% fan/pump
I reapplied thermal paste when cleaning it
I did that like a week ago
Im pretty sure its fine though
I could take it out and send a pic
Yes they are nice and tight
are you checking the tdie temperature or tctl?
What
why is pbo not on?
Wdym
The fans are ramping up as well
and its still crashing
i think its actually getting hot
the vast majority of monitoring software show you the tctl
if your tdie temperature is in check then you can forgor about it
what does tctl stand for
temperature control or smth
Im using gigabyte control center to monitor
get hwinfo and check there
and don't use gigabyte control center, or any gigabyte software, for that matter
Should i turn pbo back on
try resetting your bios
Reset it last night
thats a pretty weird ass problem
Yeah ik
if it was a bios setting the reset should have fixed it
I cant figure it out
Seriously the only time it doesn't get hot is when its in the bios
you been checking the bios settings at all??
I think its ddr5 auto booster
pbo settings
cpu powerlimit
in bios theres like 65w and 90w and 125w
Should i turn off ddr5 auto booster
Theres some really stupid ass bios settings
why don't you load optimized defaults and then just enable xmp for your ram and run your pc like that
i only used msi and asus bios
no ddr booster no other bullshit
this is the way
Lets try this
Hopefully it works
Uhm
Well
My pc id being weird
Bro what
Now this is happening
Cant turn it off
This is great
its not working at all now
let it be for 10 min
Im gonna take out the cmos battery
no don't
It will reset the bios
it's probably because ram has to settle in after a reset, that's a thing with ddr5
give it some time
i spend like an hour donalding tiny10 from archive.org
it doesn't install on this 17 years old pc 
never seen that take more than a couple minutes
ddr5 and memory training be like
give them a few bucks if you can
Yes
google how to set memory training to be avoided when possible
after it boots
if that light stays on try re seating the sticks and loosening your cpu cooler
i got a ram light when i installed my aio drunk cuz i overtightened the screws
i am smart
I dont think mine is overtight
Yeah
The ram settings made it worse
a power button
you can also just power down (after the PC has done whatever, if it's still loading something) and check if you put enough. You don't have to completely replace the paste, you can just add more if you see it's not a lot of coverage

I had bills that came first before getting the ps portal
Indeed it isnt
X ver is better binned
Useless thing. More problems than results
Also for am5 i wouldnt set scalar 5
10x fuck no
It should be fine but i wouldnt recommend it
On am4 anything above 1 is degrading basically
Btw
You have to have PS+ to cloud play on it
Buying a handheld then having to buy subscription to even use it if you don't have a ps5
he was gonna buy a 4090 so i imagine money isnt an issue
can you explain how
