[lost fossil]

have u considered getting the arctic p12 value pack

[thin turtle]

now I can bottleneck in peace

[thin turtle]

where

I bought this from a local store

[lost fossil]

whereever you buy computer parts from

[thin turtle]

hhmm

[lost fossil]

Arctic P12 PWM PST (Value Pack)

[thin turtle]

there's kinda 3 degrees climb in in GPU temps

[lost fossil]

pwm and/or pst optional

[thin turtle]

it usualy at 70-71

[thin turtle]

I didn't know

I better fix this pipe issue

I just want it to do this

[lost fossil]

if you insist on not getting these grilles, you can ziptie them to that vrm radiator, i see that it's screwed in so it shouldn't move

[thin turtle]

I should stop using flash

[thin turtle]

no I don't insist

we may find some low profile grills

[lost fossil]

you could also get some more zipties, put a pencil between the tubes somewhere above the cpu block and secure it with like 4 zipties along its length which hopefully should straighten the tubes in that area a little bit

super ghetto but it should work

[thin turtle]

lmao

[lost fossil]

but then they'll be hitting the rear fan, i feel like they already do

[thin turtle]

like medical cast

[lost fossil]

yeah

[thin turtle]

we got some clearance

if they did, one fan is enough anyway

also the pipes can do slight rotation

I can bring them towards the glass panel more

about 30 dergrees ROM

[void turret]

I have this 😎

[quaint helm]

Wtf what am i looking at lmao

[thin turtle]

The perfect ratio

[quaint helm]

mmm free cooling for gpu too ig

[thin turtle]

Except it's getting cooked

[quaint helm]

time to get a new case ig

[thin turtle]

No

We must fix it

Meet me

The engineer

[thin turtle]

Send me some paste

[thin turtle]

See here @quaint helm

[quaint helm]

i think make the pipe stick to the mobo + try to make it straight

[thin turtle]

At 60~ of cpu the GPU already past the 70 base temp

But that happened after 10 minutes

So my guess is I have poor ventilation for now

Might be wrong

[thin turtle]

I'll buy a grill for the fans most likely

Not gonna risk over bending it tbh

[quaint helm]

ur case dont have mesh filter? or some filter stuff

[thin turtle]

It does

[quaint helm]

time to buy some thermal paste for ur cpu n gpu

[thin turtle]

What are you cooking

[quaint helm]

for this

[thin turtle]

That never happened before

Why would the GPU paste fail today

[quaint helm]

time to rethermal paste ur gpu

[thin turtle]

Don't jinx

Once I get a proper airflow we'll see

[quaint helm]

u can see like a 5-15 or even more degree celcius different

[thin turtle]

It will not get lower than 70

[quaint helm]

it will trust

70%

my gpu heat dropped like 20c (overclocked) + stress test

[thin turtle]

I will undervolt it eventually

[quaint helm]

[thin turtle]

Think2hmmmShrug

[civic cloud]

hehe :3

[tidal plume]

What’s mesh filter?

[thin turtle]

Dust filter

[thin turtle]

I think I'm in love with arctic

They have great value for money

[lost fossil]

they do

[thin turtle]

How do I make the gpu have the rgb settings on startup

Can I connect it to the mobo?

There's a 3pin slot here

Lemme see if open RGB have that

[lost fossil]

it depends on the gpu so there's no clear and definitive answer

[thin turtle]

What this for

[lost fossil]

that looks more like a debug header of some kind

rgb headers are different, they are like 4 pin rgb but with one pin in the middle missing

unless this is like a custom solution and in the manual it says "use provided cable to connec rgb to the mobo"

[thin turtle]

It is an rgb header

It is an input header to override system settings

[quaint helm]

their LF3 series = 100$ for a good performance AIO lol

[thin turtle]

Or output from the gpu perspective

[thin turtle]

Cheap

I bought my LF3 240 for 70 dolla

[quaint helm]

rmb LF3 = less than 100bucko (unless pro series)

[lost fossil]

right mouse button?

[tidal plume]

Oreo demoted

[thin turtle]

There's a pro arctic freezer?

I will buy

Liquid

[quaint helm]

new came out like 1month ish

but for ur cpu still too overkill lol

[thin turtle]

Stop mocking my i3

He's hot enough

[quaint helm]

i3 aint hot

[thin turtle]

60 is plenty hot

Go outside in this temperature

You'll get cooked

[civic cloud]

Just like you

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

that's a lot

[quaint helm]

overclocked astral OC of course alot

[nova steppe]

He could also see that difference with better air cooling.
Let him optimize the air flow better before you talk about repasting a new card.
Then check paste if the temperature issue persists even when lowering power.

[cold elbow]

How tf????

[thin turtle]

it's a fridge

[snow rover]

I'm a genius

sent off a print without checking if there was a build plate

there was not

[quaint helm]

[frigid echo]

[proper sundial]

and your friend kept imagining in the sky

[digital oar]

Guys i have a math question, If you take Radian and Radius, remove the prefix and combine the suffixes, what do you get? 👌

[thin turtle]

There's no math in this question

[jovial tide]

hi there

[scenic charm]

I wanna upgrade my GPU - currently running a GTX 1060 6gb and thinking of going for the 4060 ti 8gb
My only problem is that I dont want to upgrade my psu (i have 600w) and I also want to use my current 8 pin GPU plug
I just read that 8gb isn't enough

Originally i was looking at Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Ti EAGLE OC 8G GDDR6 Graphics Card but now I found Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Ti WINDFORCE OC 16G Graphics Card but the windforce is only 2 fan does that matter?

[quaint helm]

lesser cooling thats all

[scenic charm]

Would it be an issue? I've never liked the smaller gpus but i like the 16gb vram

[quaint helm]

are u going to do like intense OC?

[scenic charm]

No OC keeping it factory

[quaint helm]

then it doesnt matter at all

[scenic charm]

So i may aswell get the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Ti WINDFORCE OC 16G

[quaint helm]

yeap

[scenic charm]

Sweet thanks for the help

[quaint helm]

u can consider getting gaming series cus u aint gonna overclock (save some bucks)

[scenic charm]

Which one is that?

[thin turtle]

600 is enough for these low tier nvidia cards even for the 70 cards I'd argue

They're very efficient

[quaint helm]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N406TGAMING-16GD smtg like this

[scenic charm]

sorry what do you mean by 600?

[scenic charm]

Thanks ill check it out

[thin turtle]

600W

[scenic charm]

Ohhh sorry! Yee they recommend 500w

[scenic charm]

Doesn't looks like my local stores sell this card

[quaint helm]

600w is plenty tbh if ure just looking for a 1080p setup

[scenic charm]

Yeee thats all im after - i feel like the 1060 i have now is struggling but to be honest its been really good!

[quaint helm]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N406TWF2V2-8GD what abt this

o wait this is 8g version 💀

[scenic charm]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N406TWF2OC-16GD#kf

thats the 16gb one i can get

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N406TEAGLE-OC-8GD
and this is the 8gb

[quaint helm]

if u want more budget version = palit/pny/zotac

[scenic charm]

Yeee i did think that but i think prefer to spend that a little bit more on something i know

and plus my local stores you dont save much on them anyway

[thin turtle]

Check for used 3080

But that'll cook your psu

They're spreading like a plague here

Very good price too

[scenic charm]

oh really ill check it out! Dont they make them brand new anymore?

[thin turtle]

No

[scenic charm]

ill see what i can find - but i think im liking the 16gb 4060ti 2 fan though

[quaint helm]

is there any 7700xt avaible at ur local store?

[scenic charm]

There is but my psu plug is different and plus they recommend more power also

[thin turtle]

Yes look for amd as well

[thin turtle]

Is your PSU non modular?

[scenic charm]

Oh im not sure actually

[thin turtle]

Yeah you'll need to open the side panel

[scenic charm]

i should check and see but then ill still need to upgrade psu

[quaint helm]

if its modular = u can see like empty pcie cable slot , if non-modular = every cable tie up tgt

[scenic charm]

Yeee ill need to check been a while since i had it open

[snow rover]

that's a monitor

[glacial viper]

should I buy this someday?

[snow rover]

sure

i've been considering the g61sd which is just the 360hz version of that panel for a long time

just haven't had the right price at the right time

[quaint helm]

no point getting that overprice monitor tbh unless ure running 5090 (but still no point it aint gonna reach like 300fps in 4k)

[glacial viper]

i agreee, i would rather do the 550 one

[quaint helm]

that 550 imo is like a top tier 1440p monitor tbh

[glacial viper]

ill have to suck my wifes clit for it lol

[thin turtle]

the gaming vacuum

[sterile cliff]

Damn that the rgb vacuum?

[brave field]

⁠

iLoop Sense???

[thin turtle]

[civic cloud]

@lost fossil remember when I complained about my headphones changing volume randomly? It does seem to be interference, cuz it doesn't happen when I go for a walk with nobody around, but happens frequently in the gym

[lost fossil]

that's weird tho

[civic cloud]

It is what it is

[thin turtle]

the light bulb sending some noise

[civic cloud]

Goddamn LIGHT

[snow rover]

if i get a call while my phone is on my desk my speakers start making strange noises

[lost fossil]

https://youtu.be/ouCg7GbZtro?t=183

[tidal plume]

Sound?

[civic cloud]

Sound?

[rapid lake]

sound.

[civic cloud]

:0

[quaint helm]

frequency sound i believe

[thin turtle]

yeah the amplifiers caught the noise

[nova steppe]

But why do my guitar amps make so much extra noise when I have them plugged into the same audio source?

[thin turtle]

idk

but generally if the sound is in a certain frequency bandwidth it will get amplified

[muted mantle]

the MOMENTUM 4's are on sale, take it or double it and give it to the next person?

[thin turtle]

double it

basically anything in this range gets amplified

and depending on how much gain your amplifier has it will be stronger

[quaint helm]

skip

[muted mantle]

better options? im not paying for Beats or other brand headphones

no but actually, i want to hear suggestions

[thin turtle]

see philips

[muted mantle]

shp9500/9600's were on my checklist but nobody sells them in finland

[quaint helm]

select the non pride edition lol cus this u aint gonna get straight sound

[muted mantle]

ok this one is funny

[thin turtle]

buy online

[snow rover]

headphones for what purpose

[muted mantle]

thats where i checked

[thin turtle]

ali express

[snow rover]

also shp9500 is old and very likely discontinued ever since the shp9600 came out

and i don't think those are sold much anymore either

[muted mantle]

general purpose, mainly music though

[thin turtle]

yeah listen to cora

[snow rover]

i wouldn't buy any closed back unless you need that

[muted mantle]

yeah they are cheap, good for their price, reliable all that but they are not beating the more recent ones

[muted mantle]

open back headphones have better sound but they leak sound, like a lot

[muted mantle]

cora?

[snow rover]

which is why i said if you don't need it

[thin turtle]

jaredapplebee

[muted mantle]

still no idea what this means

ooooooh

[snow rover]

same

[muted mantle]

im a fucking idiot

[thin turtle]

[muted mantle]

the shps are really good but what about something even better

[thin turtle]

what was that called? HD600?

[muted mantle]

yeah, the shps are beating sennheisers in price

[muted mantle]

philips or sennheisers? shp9600 and momentum 4

[thin turtle]

sennheiser

[muted mantle]

yeah just checked both websites

[snow rover]

i have sennheiser rtx 4090

[muted mantle]

the hd600 might be better but omfg they are expensive

and they are open back

[thin turtle]

zamn

[muted mantle]

open backed headphones, again, have better sound quality due to more room for the speaker, but they, again, leak sound

[thin turtle]

no matter what, do not buy a gaming brand

[muted mantle]

i dont want headphones to leak sound

no, im not listening to "girlfriend bashes your skull in with a brick ASMR", i dont want to bother the people who live with me

[muted mantle]

yes i am not stupid

[nova steppe]

but a flat [straight] line is just a single tone! You want all the gay wavy sounds!

[muted mantle]

the only reason i have turtle beaches is because i got them for free from my brother

[nova steppe]

damn, how open is the area or how loud are you listening that it would disturb other people?

[snow rover]

buy different headphones for different uses 👍

[muted mantle]

plus i dont really have a place to plug the headphones in

[civic cloud]

You're such a good roommate

[nova steppe]

buy em for me and I'll use them :D

[muted mantle]

i have a record player, but i also have a mobile device which does not have a female 6.3mm jack port

[snow rover]

i would hope it doesn't

[nova steppe]

the Marshall phone

ah nvm, that one had two 3.5mm jacks

[muted mantle]

2x3.5=/=7

[nova steppe]

I've never seen 4.4

[muted mantle]

also, i have a budget which i would rather use on quality headphones rather than a glorified mp3 player

[snow rover]

i have

[thin turtle]

is your budget 300 dolla?

[muted mantle]

couple hundred, but im not in the urgent need for new headphones as these hold up

[snow rover]

for couple hundred i would buy lightly used hifiman ananda

[muted mantle]

again, closed back

[thin turtle]

cloudX

[muted mantle]

yes, yes, open back gives more wiggle room for the drive, but IT LEAKS SOUND

and lets see if there are finnish resellers or second hand pairs

none

[high delta]

i have hd 569 which i think works fine (closed back)

but i feel like someone is going to tell me its bad

[muted mantle]

no, no, no

only nanos available

[muted mantle]

200 but atp just go for momentums

[thin turtle]

Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 Ohm)
chatgpt

[high delta]

im not really invested in headphone stuff anyway

[snow rover]

dt 770 is not that bad

but the fixed cable is awful

there just aren't really any good cheap closed backs

[muted mantle]

yes, fairly priced but i dont think they a) ship to b) resell in or c) have second hand ones in finland

[snow rover]

who

[muted mantle]

beyerdynamic, dt 770 pro in question

[snow rover]

????

like every music shop has those

and there are a million used pairs

[muted mantle]

wait nvm

forgot that we have thomann

[thin turtle]

250 Ohm

you'll need and amplifier

[muted mantle]

80 ones are same price

[civic cloud]

Not if you have a decently powerful motherboard

[thin turtle]

my 240V mobo

[civic cloud]

[snow rover]

connect your headphones to the wall outlet

[muted mantle]

but there is one thing: does the 145 euro drop somehow affect the sound/build quality?

[silk plaza]

Sennheiser

[muted mantle]

that was the original

[thin turtle]

yes

[muted mantle]

#tech-coding-math message

[muted mantle]

and how much?

[civic cloud]

Just get the 250 Ohm and send them back if they are too quiet on your devices, then buy the 80 Ohn

[thin turtle]

idk

[snow rover]

with momentums you're paying for the tech

[muted mantle]

pretty sure my pc cannot handle the headphones well, plus a major requirement is BT/wireless support

[muted mantle]

what should i be paying for?

[snow rover]

i don't know

if you want wireless then you have to be paying for wireless

[thin turtle]

bro keeps adding stuff

[muted mantle]

ok lets lay down the groundwork

• The headphones have to be compatible with my smartphone that lacks a headphone jack port
• The headphones have to have good battery life
• The headphones should not crumble when looked at
• The sound quality should be good enough to hear clearly
• The headphones have to be somewhat transportable, so nothing which requires an amp or an entire room to function
• Closed back headphones

thank you

[snow rover]

focal bathys mg

fork out the cash

[civic cloud]

???? You should have mentioned BT earlier

[muted mantle]

oh wait shit mb

[snow rover]

by wanting wireless and closed back you basically filter out all of the good options

[civic cloud]

Sony WH XM4 or 5, whatever is in your price range

Call it a day

They are not audiophile or some shit like that, but good enough and the ANC and battery life is great

[thin turtle]

[muted mantle]

thank you

[civic cloud]

also cute shark pfp

[muted mantle]

then find me a good male USB-C to female 0.069 Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese headphone jack adapter

[muted mantle]

oh nice ty, yours is cool too

[snow rover]

there are no good dongles for 6.35mm because nobody uses that on the go

it's either 3.5 or 4.4

[toxic sentinel]

[muted mantle]

let me add something to this:

Smartphone compatibility isnt exclusively BT/wireless, headphone jack can work with an adapter and USB-C is even better

[civic cloud]

You don't have a cute shark in your pfp

[muted mantle]

though all of the headphones with usb-c ports are always wireless...

[toxic sentinel]

[snow rover]

there are basically no wired usb headphones because usb is used for digital signals

[muted mantle]

yep

yeah ill do even more research, thanks yall

[civic cloud]

🤝

[nova steppe]

meanwhile I was just gonna get the bluetooth ATH-M50x and call it a day

[snow rover]

man those are pretty atrocious

[nova steppe]

how so?

[snow rover]

wonky frequency response
tiny earpads

not very well built
high clamping force

i wouldn't call high clamping force an outright bad thing but it is a bad thing when the pads are so tiny they press on your ears all around

[manic ibex]

Replacing the pads fix that issue

[gaunt topaz]

I'm glad the DT770 Pro X exists and I managed to get one, which has a detachable cable from the factory 🙏

48 ohm so no idea where they got the drivers from but they're pretty good either way

Modding beyers with mini-XLR yourself is a challenge, but not entirely impossible, but can't recommend it

[snow rover]

shame it's worse than the dt 770 though

[civic cloud]

be rich and buy the DT1770

[gaunt topaz]

pretty similar in terms of frequency response actually.. no idea tho

I mean, I have the 770 Pro X, I tried 990 Pros a bunch and the 1770 for just a few tracks.. They're all good imo

[snow rover]

it's not really

it's wonky

regular dt 770 is much more balanced

[wispy mesa]

Can you find 990 pro vs 1990 pro

[thin turtle]

I ordered a second ram stick

I'm a proper gamer now

[civic cloud]

Hell yeah queen

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

did you match the specs though?

[nova steppe]

[thin turtle]

from the same guy who built it for me

it's still gonna take some time to come

[lost fossil]

you suggested vxe smth last time

[lost fossil]

what is a good static pressure-oriented fan that is better than arctic p12 and is not expensive? summer hasn't even started yet and my seedbox is starting to cook itself

/dev/sdm: HGST HUH721212ALE604: 43°C
/dev/sdn: HGST HUH721212ALE604: 43°C
/dev/sdo: ST14000NM001G-2KJ103: 41°C
/dev/sdp: WDC WD140EDFZ-11A0VA0: 39°C
/dev/sdq: WDC WUH721414ALE6L4: 41°C

it also has to be standard 25mm thick because of the design of the hdd bays that i use

[nova steppe]

Is it too loud if you turn up the fan speed? Or is it already max?

[lost fossil]

already max

[pulsar finch]

Is it worth it jailbreaking your iphone?

[quaint helm]

these temp is normal like very normal

phantek T30 ig good static pressure + airflow (like 3k rpm + 39db max )

[upbeat spade]

if you can't answer this for yourself, then you probably shouldn't do it
it's not something you do because you have the option to, it's something you do with intention because you know there's something you need from it

oh looks like heart

aorta

[upbeat spade]

but why

it looked so uncomfortable to use

i just bought a gpx and it feels so cheap and the 11g weight decrease from my viper ultimate is honestly hardly noticeable

the fact that it feels cheap next to a razer product

insane

you out here getting 1/5th of a mouse

[quartz kayak]

it costs like 80 cents to make so why not

[upbeat spade]

can't argue with that

for the price of 80 cents you also lost 80% of the mouse but i guess that's the point

[quartz kayak]

return it and buy a viper v3

i heard its really good for the price

and theres cool designs

i ended up buying a wlmouse as a new mouse @lost fossil because everywhere i see they say its one of the best at the moment

its magnesium and its cute

car mouse

i wanted something that would last more than the plastic chinese mice

so i got a magnesium chinese one

[upbeat spade]

it does look good but i don't want HOLES

[upbeat spade]

nnah i'm ok with it

it was on sale

[quartz kayak]

sele

[upbeat spade]

about time i stop buying razer things

👴 does not suit my refined aesthetics

[civic cloud]

Imagine paying more to have less mouse

"I can't play pew pew games if my mouse weighs more than 45g"

Sentences only uttered by the deranged

also wtf happened to your name

[upbeat spade]

i lost a cool dock, my leds, and two side buttons in exchange for 11g of weight reduction

[civic cloud]

Sounds whacky

[upbeat spade]

i'd return it and pull that viper but the whole reason i bought it was because the viper was not inputting for a second once in a while

stops moving stops clicking

can't live like that

[civic cloud]

Yeah that sucks :(

[quartz kayak]

The new razer products dont have leds or anything they are pretty cool

[quartz kayak]

Theres currently 0 mice without holes made from magnesium

[quartz kayak]

I ve done electrode and semi bcs you can literally do them eyes closed

Thats not the magnesium incident tho

The magnesium incident was in fq classes

Thank god i left the area tho

Pretty bad conditions

Hell yeah get a cozy office job with remote work

[minor eagle]

poor elephamt

[stone apex]

LMFAO.
Huperbug core vs Oxygen.

No wonder people don't like Xiaomi.

[thin turtle]

But that's how it's supposed to be no?

You either hard limit it to 80 or let the algorithm decide

[stone apex]

You either limit to 80%, and it shouldn't be override.

Because smart charging limits to 80%, and then charge to 100%.
That overrides the limit of charging to 80%.

Which shouldn't be.

That's like you're asking a waiter to pour half of the glass with wine, but he pours all of it.

And THIS shouldn't be like this.

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

if it works like that then tbh batteries should be programmed to report 100% charge while actually being at 80

like u know, scale the limit down to increase lifespan

[thin turtle]

That's how you get a lawsuit

[lost fossil]

no but wait

everyone knows about this 80% thing so why just not bake the functionality into the battery

have the battery permanently be in the protection mode

[thin turtle]

That will be impractical in some situations

When you go camping for example, you should have the first charge to 100%. Then you think about a power bank and stuff

And maybe someone didn't bring their own and you'll have to share

Or your charger fails just like mine

I don't trust this phone

My phone had troubles with fast charging and only accepted normal speeds. The other it fell on the floor and now it's doing the opposite

This is a Samsung moment of all time

yo guys i need some urgent help

my screen time shows that i used 2-3 apps for 4 hours when i didnt even enter those apps once

also it shows that it was during the time that i was on a 5 hour call with some friends

any explanations or help please let me know!!!

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

Are these apps of communication purpose?

Maybe they detect the camera or mic activity

And be in standby state, or worse stealing your data 🙀

[civic cloud]

They already do that for cars

[civic cloud]

Don't be so american

[brave field]

Great concept

I think the numbers for how often people replace phones is relevant

when battery protection modes first came out, people weren't holding onto phones long enough for noticeable degradation. It could be argued having reduced battery life for 10 months of use was a worse user experience

[fickle finch]

Something about lithium ions learning and adapting to your charge the longer you charge it the faster the batteries health degrades

[thin turtle]

Just make nuclear battery

[sterile cliff]

You gonna get the chunkiest phone from that

[thin turtle]

The technology doesn't exist right?

Nuclear power plants use heat still

usually i run 200w tho cuz its no different in fps

or barely

[quaint helm]

OC aint really obvious in game (fps) , but for those benchmark its ver obvious

[lost fossil]

why not uv

[twin badger]

Well yeah... because when you play a game, you are not glued to the fps number all the time

[brave field]

At any given nanosecond, memory latency, capacity, bus speeds, or anything else could be the limiting factor instead of core clock

[quaint helm]

[civic arch]

why

[civic arch]

i dont care about benchmarks only fps

fps is usually with in like few %

[lost fossil]

I assume it's a 6 or 7 pin all in one

Omg

No

[thin turtle]

Yeah true

[quaint helm]

umm now days theres alot case fan uses sata (even some newer one)

[twin badger]

I was joking

[thin turtle]

I will get more of p12 fans

[lost fossil]

like how I removed all the pins from that so-called proprietary thermalfake 9 pin cable and split it into 4pin pwm + 3pin rgb

'ARGB is essentially a more advanced version of RGB lighting. While RGB allows for a wide range of colors, ARGB allows for individual control of each LED, enabling dynamic and complex lighting effects.
Here's a breakdown:
RGB (Red, Green, Blue):
Combines red, green, and blue light to create a vast array of colors. Traditional RGB lighting systems can only display one color at a time, meaning all LEDs light up with the same color.
ARGB (Addressable RGB):
Each LED can be individually controlled, allowing for dynamic lighting effects like gradients, flowing patterns, and animations. ARGB is more versatile and visually impressive than RGB but is typically more expensive.
Key Difference:
ARGB is "addressable," meaning each LED can be programmed independently. This allows for creating more complex lighting effects like rainbows, patterns, and even synced lighting across multiple components.
Usage:
ARGB lighting is commonly used in gaming setups, PC builds, and any application where individual LED customization is desired.
In essence, ARGB builds upon RGB by adding the ability to address each LED individually, offering more flexibility and visual options for lighting effects.

from google

[quaint helm]

low speed?

[thin turtle]

Bro is chadgpt

[civic arch]

decently high speed

1200-1600 rpm

with thicc rubber spacers

[thin turtle]

Arctic is chill like that

[quaint helm]

not high at all lmao thats why its quiet

[civic arch]

1800 rpm is as high they go

[thin turtle]

How high is too high

[civic arch]

i find that fan speed stops mattering afrer a certain rpm

atleast on heatsinks

[quaint helm]

3k ish

[civic arch]

like phantek fans at 2k vs 3k is not that much different

[thin turtle]

What are we doing here

[civic arch]

in term of temps

[quaint helm]

same same but different

[thin turtle]

Arctic fans suck better

More air

[civic arch]

arctic fans apparently can break tho

that fluid bearing thing is not rated for as long as noctuas

[lost fossil]

[civic arch]

noctua just stupid expensive

[quaint helm]

look at the cost first

[thin turtle]

Break as in

[thin turtle]

Noctua cost a liver and a half

[civic arch]

might buy one 92mm just so i cna have 120x2 and 92mm on my gpu

[thin turtle]

Is that you irl

[civic arch]

why

[quaint helm]

noctua cost like 1.5-2x the average fan price

[twin badger]

Quality does cost money

[thin turtle]

Arctic isn't bad quality

[twin badger]

Isn't bad, but not as good

[thin turtle]

Noctua is just toyota grade

[twin badger]

You get what you pay for basically

[thin turtle]

Having that cheap price is good

[twin badger]

It's what makes it good

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[lost fossil]

[thin turtle]

Better than whatever on it's price range

[wispy mesa]

Youre paying for the support if buying Noctua

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

noctua's 40mm offering is scheibe compared to arctic

it is quieter but moves a lot less air

[quaint helm]

youre paying for the rgb if u buying corsair

[snow gazelle]

Funny reply to someone choosing much slower novideo card for same price

[quaint helm]

he have a point tbh

[fickle finch]

What is RAID?

[cold elbow]

Valid point

[cold elbow]

This is a question that is not easy to answer

[fickle finch]

Combining multiple disks into one physical disk?

[cold elbow]

Basically the ways that u can link multiple hard drives together

Might be for performance or redundancy or both

[fickle finch]

Yes there is different RAIDs for different purposes

RAID 0 is performance

RAID 1 is availability

I dont understand RAID 5, 6 and 10 though 😕

[quaint helm]

https://www.techtarget.com/searchstorage/definition/RAID#:~:text=RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a way of,case of a drive failure. this might help

[fickle finch]

I think RAID 10 is combination of 0 and 1 which is why it's 1 + 0

5, and 6 is strange

[cold elbow]

5 is 4 drives

U can lose one

[fickle finch]

What is the RAID Array thing as well like is it another word for disk

[cold elbow]

No i mean

Raid 5 can handle losing 1 drive

[fickle finch]

oh

[cold elbow]

And it needs at least 3 disks

When u use 3 disks you will get the capacity of two drives

[fickle finch]

I see

So for it to be RAID 5 it MUST have 3 disks

[cold elbow]

Yep

[quaint helm]

minimum

[cold elbow]

Because parity is divided in all the disks

[fickle finch]

What is parity?

I see this term used in RAID and I dont get 😦

[cold elbow]

It's like

Ummm

It's like the logfiles or archive that can rebuild your data in the case of a drive failure

[fickle finch]

😮

[sterile cliff]

Basically the backup to a backup

[fickle finch]

🤯 !

[cold elbow]

Raid 6 is basically raid 5 but has two parity partitions in each drive

So it can handle losing two drives

[fickle finch]

so there is backup for both partitions for each drive

what is the difference between RAID 5 and RAID 6?

[cold elbow]

Raid 5 can lose one drive
Raid 6 can lose two drives

[fickle finch]

ok

[cold elbow]

By "lose" i mean you can replace that drive and the system will rebuild the data

[fickle finch]

Are their performance the same?

[cold elbow]

Rebuilding takes a LOT of time and in some rare cases it might lead to another drive failure

So your data will be lost

[fickle finch]

thats interesting I didnt know about that

[cold elbow]

Dealing with data is not simple

You need a plan B for your plan B

[fickle finch]

so in a way it's like RAID 1 but you can backup more then one drive in the case of RAID 5 and 2 drives in the case of RAID 6

[cold elbow]

Raid 1 is fine but you get 50% of your capacity and not much performance

[fickle finch]

I dont think RAID 1 needs a backup actually because the same data will still be present in the second disk

exactly yea

[cold elbow]

With raid 5 you get 77% of your drives capacity

[fickle finch]

oh

[cold elbow]

At least.

[fickle finch]

RAID 6's drive capacity?

[cold elbow]

You also get performance benefits because your data will be spread across 3 drives and your computer will pull from all of them at the same time

[fickle finch]

I see

[cold elbow]

4 drives at least

But this wont be beneficial tbh

[fickle finch]

really

[cold elbow]

After u start to understand anything from RAID you will find other rabbit holes like UNRAID and ZFS

[fickle finch]

How you know about this though

[cold elbow]

Curiosity

[fickle finch]

the CompTIA A+ Core 1 only covers RAIDS 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10

[cold elbow]

I wanted to build a home NAS

[fickle finch]

woah

Did you succeed?

[cold elbow]

Yeah it's simple to do

Just find an old computer and install some drives and a NAS OS

[fickle finch]

What about TrueNAS?

[cold elbow]

It's a nas os

[fickle finch]

Isn't it the same

[cold elbow]

Uses zfs

[fickle finch]

My brain doesnt know whats zfs 😭

[cold elbow]

Just stick with raid now

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels

This is helpful

[fickle finch]

wikipedia though ?

I've been following Jason dion and professermesser for RAID and still dont get it

Like the difference between 5, 6 and 10

[cold elbow]

No clue who that is

[fickle finch]

instructors for CompTIA

they do network+, security+, server+, linux+ and so on the CompTIA family

[cold elbow]

These guys dont teach in the simplest ways possible

They go over technical stuff and details that only useful for academic purposes

[fickle finch]

But they do it in the case of the exam's syllabus

[cold elbow]

Yes

[fickle finch]

yea what you said sorry I read that late

but isnt that better?

[cold elbow]

Better for the exam

Not for knowing things on top of your head

[fickle finch]

True good point

[cold elbow]

Like i wanna setup some disks

[fickle finch]

I am looking for a complete understanding and what they're teaching is just for the exam

[cold elbow]

Dont care about how it works

[fickle finch]

I guess I have the same mindset as you

[cold elbow]

I just need to know

• requirements
• pros
• cons

[fickle finch]

Yea I am also trying to find out about those

[cold elbow]

Find videos about people building budges nas systems

Then scale up

[fickle finch]

oh

[cold elbow]

They try to make it easier

[fickle finch]

I wanted to build my own Active directory with 2 domain controllers that have DNS and DHCP services all hosted in VMware workstation pro

[cold elbow]

Doesn't look simple

[fickle finch]

I found some guides in youtube

[cold elbow]

There's stuff like pfsense

[fickle finch]

pfsense?

[cold elbow]

And pihole

[cold elbow]

Basically a router OS

[fickle finch]

oh?

how would that help?

[cold elbow]

U want dhcp and dns

It can offer both

[tidal plume]

Raid shadow legends?!?!?

[fickle finch]

In a real environment they set it up in each of the domain controllers thats why

1 Virtual windows server takes 60gb space in our storage device

so 3 is 180gb plus a windows os machine 40 or something 220

[wispy mesa]

easy

[civic cloud]

yes

[fickle finch]

how would you do it?

[wispy mesa]

create the VMs and do their setups

then go to the virtual network editor in workstation pro

and link them all in a network

then connect the 2 windows servers and enable dns and dhcp on them

[fickle finch]

on both servers?

[wispy mesa]

That really depends on what you want with 2 dns

dhcp can be set up on both

I think by default one is a redundancy

[fickle finch]

I learned that in a real environment it's better to keep both separate

[wispy mesa]

right but a real environment should know exactly what it needs

[fickle finch]

because if one goes down with like a DHCP then how are pc's going to get their ip leases

yea

[wispy mesa]

and having 2 or not depends on the environment

[fickle finch]

I am doing this in a work PC so I need to isolate it from the network or the ports are being listened to @wispy mesa . Apparently vmware has virtual switches

[wispy mesa]

yes thats the virtual networks menu i mentioned

[fickle finch]

oh

[wispy mesa]

you put all things into a VMnet#

[fickle finch]

cute

[wispy mesa]

and set static IPs on them depending on what you want

[fickle finch]

I'll need to see and of course check with windows server version is safe for installing incase one has vulnerabilities

[wispy mesa]

windows server 2025 is the latest

[fickle finch]

oh

[wispy mesa]

and its enterprise so generally comes with all the antivirus tables updated

[fickle finch]

i didnt know about that

[wispy mesa]

Which bit

[fickle finch]

enterprise version coming with better antivirus

i mean what im saying its enterprise lol

it needs that kind of security

[wispy mesa]

Windows server is built for enterprise so yea, but dont be mistaken for it doing everything automatically, you still need secure passwords and all

[fickle finch]

which is what I want to try with AD

Can only test these policies in 1 windows vm though lol i guess it counts?

[wispy mesa]

Sure...

[fickle finch]

you worked has a sys admin before?

[wispy mesa]

No im still in uni

[fickle finch]

oh

[wispy mesa]

Depends on what you count as worked

Ive "worked" on in production enterprise systems

[fickle finch]

nice

Do you see yourself working in this field though

[wispy mesa]

Most likely

[fickle finch]

pog?

[wispy mesa]

Are you asking if its pog?

[fickle finch]

I have an idea of the job lol

Im just a tier 2 technician atm

[wispy mesa]

Fair lol, i think im going to go into cybersecurity further though

[fickle finch]

I was looking into soc analyst with SIEM tools and what not

but I will leave that for later since I dont know how to secure an AD or a server first of all

what area of cybersecurity?

[wispy mesa]

possibly pentesting

since its what im best at

[fickle finch]

Kali linux

You heard of EJPT and OSCP certifications? its for pentesting

[wispy mesa]

Kali linux is like the base elegy of gta cars

[fickle finch]

lol

[wispy mesa]

Yes ive heard of those, not so popular in my country but still useful

[fickle finch]

I guess you heard of tryhackme and hackthebox sites as well

[wispy mesa]

yes

[fickle finch]

you done their red team section?

[wispy mesa]

Na i havent really done much of either of them

[fickle finch]

They teach how to listen to open ports, take advantage of them, exploit the system and gain access.

basically every step into getting into a system

Phishing, Network, Application, Firewall, Computer vulnerabilities and exploit strategies

[wispy mesa]

I dont often do self paced ones like that, currently im doing ecitadel

[fickle finch]

oh

first time to hear about ecitadel

[wispy mesa]

I just got 50/50 on my ethical hacking assignment with no study lol

[fickle finch]

holy

So the material comes by easy for you?

[wispy mesa]

that was 5 vms we needed to get into

[fickle finch]

5?!

[wispy mesa]

Yea i self taugh myself most of it

[fickle finch]

dam

So like each VM has a vulnerability and you figured how to exploit it?

[wispy mesa]

Yea there was smb exploits, sql injection, suid privledge escalation to get root and a few more

[fickle finch]

i only know sql injection lol

so one of the VM has an admin account

the rest are normal users. Thats cool you learn how to deal with different scenarios

[wispy mesa]

I also hobby program

[fickle finch]

programming?

[wispy mesa]

haha yes i cut that off

[fickle finch]

lol

Its a crazy skillset to be a pentester you need knowledge in multiple areas of IT

Since you are quick to absorb info it can work for you

[wispy mesa]

Yea id say I've done pretty well getting knowledgeable in multiple areas of IT

[fickle finch]

I see myself maintaining stuff in IT mostly I don't like breaking stuff lol

[wispy mesa]

Yea fair enough

Seems like im stuck with the PC legacy role

[brave field]

you want enhanced too?

[wispy mesa]

Just enhanced

[brave field]

also, did you get to make the payloads for those exploits yourself?! Those programs/courses always looked fun

[wispy mesa]

Yep

the buffer overflow over network was honestly the wackest thing ive done

[wispy mesa]

ty

[brave field]

I have to get in on this, it sounds wonderful

Just eCitadel? Any others you do?

[wispy mesa]

You might be interested in general CTFs

like pingctf, picoctf, downunderctf

theyre generally once a year

and have a wide range of tasks

https://ctftime.org/ tracks all these

[brave field]

Does it come with any education/guide resources? I struggled to find one that isn't too easy but also has a solution somewhere

[fickle finch]

capture the flag

[wispy mesa]

CyberPatriot as well is like Ecit

uhm hackthebox could be of interest, where it has a range of guided and non guided

[brave field]

hackthebox was one I kept going back to but never starting

thanks so much man

[wispy mesa]

Theres even prebuilt hacking boxes you can try locally on VMs

like SickOS and metasploitable boxes

[fickle finch]

Do you know about Vulnhub? @wispy mesa

[wispy mesa]

Yea that sounds familiar

[fickle finch]

vulnerable vm's

[wispy mesa]

Yea

i think ive tried some, would have been 4+ years ago now

[fickle finch]

oh
