this handsome card

[stone apex]

Ew.

I don't need a screen. Too much.

I love fancy tech thingies

[thin turtle]

Get a water cooled gpu

[upbeat spade]

no way another keqing phone owner

[cold elbow]

Abomination

[stone apex]

Yes.

I absolutely loved it when I first saw it.

Like damn... Purple color? With flowers? Shiny? And even sun projection?
Hell yes.

Very very😊

What's IPS and why do all these monitors have it

I read that it's something LCD monitors use but iirc LED monitors are better

So why is every company saying their monitor has IPS like it's a good thing

[snow gazelle]

IPS is a display technology. it's a good cheap option

[stone apex]

"All LED monitors are LCDs — but not all LCDs are LED".

[frigid echo]

IPS (In-Plane Switching) is an electronic screen display technology used in LCDs (liquid crystal displays). IPS changes the behavior of an LCD's liquid crystals to produce a sharper, more accurate picture.

[livid ember]

wonder if this is a high usage time for a harddrive.

get on my level 😄

[quaint helm]

Aorus 2070 wb looks insane tbh

[upbeat spade]

mmmmmmmm yes

yours have the printing on the back though, is that the 12r/global model

mine is the ace 3/chinese domestic model, it doesn't have the printing on the back

[cold elbow]

Now put a cover on it

That's why idc about how phones look

[upbeat spade]

what's wrong with a transparent case

[cold elbow]

They turn yellow

[upbeat spade]

they cost like three bucks, if yellowing bothers you then you can just buy another one every year

[cold elbow]

And feel bad

And they often dont offer proper protection

Anyway
This dude went full open source which is surprising

Self hosted stuff on his freakin steamdeck

[upbeat spade]

i used my old phone for seven years, probably five of those without a case on and the most damage that's happened to it actually happened when the case was on and what i assume was a piece of sand happened to be between the phone corner and the case corner, shattered the back glass in the corner ¯_(ツ)_/¯

luck is luck, and i've certainly dropped it from heights that it never should have survived without a shattered screen from, but i never dropped it more than like three times total in those seven years

[cold elbow]

I dropped my phone waaay too many times and if you check it now not a single scratch on it

Also these transparent cases tend to damage your phone because they collect dust

Good cases seal the phone so nothing can get inside and even if it happens there are grooves that contain them...

[upbeat spade]

it's not going to stop collecting dust just because it's an opaque case, it depends on the flexibility of the case material

[cold elbow]

I have this phone for 5 years with the same cover and not a single scratch

[upbeat spade]

my phone from before my previous phone, i had a steel frame case on it

stuff still got in

[cold elbow]

Oh yeah fun fact my phone back cover is not even glass... it's plastic

[upbeat spade]

no matter what you do, things are always going to find their way in - it's down on you to remove the case once in a while and flush it out, clean your phone, remove debris

regular maintenance is better than putting on an expensive or tough case and praying

(and if my phone is this sexy you bet i'm taking it out of the case and cleaning it more often 😉 )

[cold elbow]

The only dust buildup is see is around the buttons which i clean regularly

[cold elbow]

Oh my case was like 10 bucks with the screen protector

[upbeat spade]

mine is like two dollars, and the screen protector i have coming is like six

that's syrup bucks mind you, that's probably like four bucks total in eagle coin

unless you're doing it for a fashion statement, cases are cheap, replace it when you don't like it, replace it when it's yellow, replace it when it's deteriorating

two buck case?? just do it

two bucks a year

protect my limited edition Genshin Impact™ purple flower phone with a live wallpaper of a girl on the lock screen showing everybody that i'm a degenerate

[tidal plume]

Yes I like

[rapid lake]

This not a normal sound is it

Happens when GPU is at 100% for longer than 5 seconds

And holds 82c

[lost fossil]

try stopping different fans in the pc with your finger to see which one is rattling

[civic cloud]

Yes what oleg said

[lost fossil]

just carefully pressing onto the center of the fan thing type of thing, don'thve to put your finger into the blades (although that's what i do most of the time )

[thin turtle]

[cold elbow]

Not sure if that's a loose fan or just coil whine

[lost fossil]

i had a rattling fan on my 1080ti, turns out that fan was just bad bc it would also stop much faster than others, i ended up buying replacement fans on aliexpress (where else)

if your gpu is 2nd (or 3rd) hand, this could be the issue

is this kingston nv (3?) that i'm seeing

[cold elbow]

Also a lot of cards love to maintain temperature around 85 which is fine but also not fine so use an app like afterburner or FanControl to speed up those fans and maintain around 75 maximum

[rapid lake]

Is there a safe way to do this

[cold elbow]

Stop them by pressing the middle hub

There's no risk whatsoever

[rapid lake]

Alright

Let me see

[thin turtle]

There is a risk but I'll keep it to myself

[cold elbow]

...

[thin turtle]

It should not be that bad so

[rapid lake]

It’s the cpu fan

[lost fossil]

||hand reveal fr this time||

[rapid lake]

And not the gpu fan

[thin turtle]

I knew it

[rapid lake]

It’s not

The cpu fan

[thin turtle]

These cheap ass coolers

[cold elbow]

Thank you so much oleg

[lost fossil]

yeah but it's the same principle

[rapid lake]

Nor is it the exhaust fan on the case

[thin turtle]

Finger reveal 🙀

[cold elbow]

Gpu fans are even safer because they dont carry as much mass

[rapid lake]

It’s neither of these 3 so there’s the 3 front case fans left

[thin turtle]

You mean risk on the fingers?

[lost fossil]

he's not trying it with the gpu fans

[rapid lake]

???

I did try the gpu fan

[cold elbow]

No on global warming

[lost fossil]

then

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

[rapid lake]

I only managed to try one before the noise stopped

So let me uh

Crank it up again

[rapid lake]

I have afterburber yeah

The mobo software also has fan control but only for the cpu fans

It also detecs "system fans" but shows no information on them

0 rpm

I’m gonna have to close the case again for it to get hot LOL

[quaint helm]

[rapid lake]

I used to leave the side panel out on my old pc

[lost fossil]

bloatware

uninstall and use fancontrol

[thin turtle]

They're probably connected to sata hub

The case fans

Spinning at constant speed

[rapid lake]

The afterburner one?

[rapid lake]

Idk they’re router to the back (maybe straight into the psu)

And I don’t wanna open it up yet

I love how now that I want them to make noise so I can diagnose the issue, everything runs fine

[quaint helm]

is ur cooler fan's pin inside the male fan pin on the mobo?

[rapid lake]

Cpu fan cable is connected to "CPU FAN 1" on mono

[thin turtle]

Wait is that even

Hmm

[quaint helm]

that should provide data tho

[rapid lake]

Oh it does

I’m saying the case fans I have no control over

[thin turtle]

The case fans don't show reading

Probably in a SATA thingy

[rapid lake]

There is a sys fan spot on the mobo aswell but nothing connected to it

[quaint helm]

ah bcus it doesnt have pwm

[rapid lake]

Is this right

[quaint helm]

this fan is gpu

[rapid lake]

I know

Forget about the cpu that’s running fine

It stays below 70

[quaint helm]

wait wait what mobo u having?

[rapid lake]

MSI h610 ms

[quaint helm]

some mobo have build in fan curve in bios iirc

[rapid lake]

Melon says to use msi afterburner

[quaint helm]

afterburner have nothing to do with cpu lol everything u change = gpu only

[rapid lake]

For the GPU…

That’s what’s causing the noise

Or… was

[quaint helm]

ig this fancontrol lol

[lost fossil]

afterburner is for overclocking, I mean, it is for fan control too, but personally I would use only for oc and do with fancontrol

[rapid lake]

Fancontrol is a separate app?

[quaint helm]

yeah

[rapid lake]

Ah

And that can control all fans right

So I don’t have a bunch of different apps

[lost fossil]

yes

[rapid lake]

Ok so I’ll delete the MSI center app

I need afterburner for monitoring still

Also I let the seller know if he gets a good clean GPU that’s more powerful than this 3060 to let me know

But ideally what would be a good GPU to pair with the i5 13400f

Because this one is very much a bottleneck, almost always at 100%

[quaint helm]

3060ti , 6600xt , b580 only

[thin turtle]

The GPU is at 100%m

?

[stone apex]

Yes, 12R.

[thin turtle]

Good thing if so

[stone apex]

That was planned ahead.
I'm using transparent cases.

[thin turtle]

You want the gpu to be doing all the work in a game, so 100% there is a good sign.
But if 100% was on cpu that might mean you gotta get a better one

I'm still not sure if 100% on CPU can interfere with background processes

[rapid lake]

Yes

All the time

CPU doesn’t really go beyond 50%

So I think the GPU is holding it back

He tried to sell me a 5060 btw

[quaint helm]

golden garbage

[thin turtle]

You should try a used 3080 if it's at 350$ range

Or a better option should be 6800xt

[rapid lake]

I’ll see what the shop finds because they inspect them before buying and reselling

This 12gb 3060 was $170

I could never find one for the same price that’s clean

[thin turtle]

It's really better than all of the 8 GB cards and at the same price so

Well all of the 1080p cards

[quaint helm]

more power ⛈️

[thin turtle]

Nvidia 60 and radeon 600 or 9060

[rapid lake]

Idk there’s so much to buy

[thin turtle]

Yea

[rapid lake]

Monitor, mouse, mechanical keyboard…

[thin turtle]

It get confusing

[rapid lake]

Better GPU is not a priority ai guess

[quaint helm]

umm ai = more vrams

[rapid lake]

Monitor and keyboard should be the first thing I get

[thin turtle]

The 3080 and 6800xt are still good cards for even 1440p

[rapid lake]

This TV is painful to look at lmao

[thin turtle]

Peak technology

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[rapid lake]

What’s your gpu?

[thin turtle]

Try to invest in a 1440p monitor

[quaint helm]

find some aoc monitor

[thin turtle]

3080

[rapid lake]

Ah

[rapid lake]

I found some cheap ones

Not 1440p

[thin turtle]

The 1440p monitors are about 50% more expensive than 1080p

Here

[rapid lake]

$120 for 180hz 1ms IPS

[quaint helm]

not bad

[thin turtle]

The 1440p variant should be 200$

Is it not?

[rapid lake]

1440p 240hz is $300

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

25G40E is the 1080p one

[thin turtle]

Well you can always do supersampling

[quaint helm]

sampling pro max

[thin turtle]

I play old games at 2.0 frame scaling

Or 1.750

New games can go to 1.25 with ray tracing before dropping below 60 fps

But this might be due to the weak cpu

[quaint helm]

weak cpu? slap in a 9800x3d

[thin turtle]

Nothing flex tape can't fix

[rapid lake]

RDR2 on max settings ran 20fps

A bit of DLSS and it was up to 70

[quaint helm]

novideo

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

https://tenor.com/view/salt-bae-sprinkling-salt-gif-7535412

If only I could sprinkle some DLSS on my other problems

Life on DLSS

[fallow forge]

finally ordered a new SSD to replace my half broken one

i removed it today and holy shit my pc became faster

even when i wasnt doing anything that was installed on that drive, it would hit 100% usage and crash my pc

gotta put it back in tomorrow to transfer everything tho

[thin turtle]

Nice

[lost fossil]

i realized earlier today what the issue was. i deleted only the device symlink itself without deleting the "parts" which are partition symlinks i think

i deleted the alleged partitions and did the import again and it work

themoreyouknow.jif

[fickle finch]

Raid?

[lost fossil]

mister shadowlegend?

[devout basalt]

Help so i want to reset my pc like new and delete everything but it wont let me it says (Could not find the recovery environment Insert your Windows installation or recovery media, and restart your PC with the media)

[rapid lake]

Damn

So glad I don’t have that issue anymore

[twin badger]

I use Afterburner for both and it works well

[rapid lake]

Fancontrol detects the cpu fan but doesn’t exactly… work with it

[snow gazelle]

Cpu fan tune from bios

[lost fossil]

true but if you already have fancontrol running then might as well offload all of the fan control to it

and you can use a median temperature over a period of time which is what I did to stop things from getting out of fancontrol

I mean fans ramping up outta nowhere

[snow rover]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d#id0ejd=windows_11

basically use media creation tool to make an installation media on a usb drive and plug that drive into that pc and restart

[rapid lake]

So 2 days in fresh install of w11 and already the icons in my taskbar are blank

[civic cloud]

it's a quiz to see if you have been attentive

[rapid lake]

What the hell

I can’t open rdr2, keeps telling me I ran out of memory

[quaint helm]

more ram

download ram

[rapid lake]

It was steam overlay

[rapid lake]

Does that look normal

It's... odd around the edges of the white spots

I have most things set to ultra

[snow gazelle]

use optimized settings

[rapid lake]

I did

Is there any channel/video you recommend in general

[snow gazelle]

you can watch HUB video

this one is more recent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyzp4zRivis

[rapid lake]

Yeah I used that now

Way better fps and still looks the same

eh

@lost fossil i found the fan that’s making that noise

What do

Should I limit it to an rpm where it doesn’t make that noise?

[lost fossil]

is it a gpu fan?

[rapid lake]

Yes

[lost fossil]

if so, go to aliexpress and look for replacement fans for your gpu model

[rapid lake]

[lost fossil]

if that's not an option, then just deal with it bc if you limit the speed then what's the point of cooling

[rapid lake]

It only makes the noise at a certain rpm actually

If it goes beyond it, noise stops

[lost fossil]

you can use fancontrol to make a curve that skips that rpm range

like this

[cold elbow]

woha aowah awoajhgdgh

what you think you doing pal

this is illegal

i would set this to 5 seconds lol

[lost fossil]

i use time average anyway

[cold elbow]

yeah cus fan ramping up and down based on slight loads is not fun

[cold elbow]

using that cpu sensor is not ideal imo

[rapid lake]

Meh

I fiddled with the fan a little maybe that does the trick lol

Also this fancontrol app takes some getting used to

It’s a little confusing

[cold elbow]

u just create a curve

and set it to target a sensor

[rapid lake]

I did

[cold elbow]

that's pretty much it

[rapid lake]

But I dunno what’s the optimal

Can it self-tune or smth

[cold elbow]

trial and error

it can calibrate itself

but the curve is all your preference

[rapid lake]

Also I don’t think the app is launching on startup

[rapid lake]

Even though I have it set to start minimised

[cold elbow]

this is my gpu

bottom case fan

[rapid lake]

I’ll shiw you mine

[cold elbow]

case fans

which are mostly off

and this is cpu

[rapid lake]

cpu

gpu

[cold elbow]

you beating those fans up

lower your curves

and why is max temp set to 120 wtfff

[rapid lake]

You said keep the GPU cool

under 75

[rapid lake]

default idk

[civic cloud]

damn dude

[cold elbow]

yeah but now its 37

[rapid lake]

ok lowered max temp to 90

[cold elbow]

mine looks like this

[rapid lake]

that should be safe

why is max temp set to 120 wtfff

[cold elbow]

yeah i just noticed

but yeah whatver

i usually chage it to 100

but you want your fan to be off when its idling

[rapid lake]

Does your GPU not get really hot like thaty

Like above 85

[lost fossil]

me personally, i don't use the 0 rpm mode

[thin turtle]

You really playing with fire

[cold elbow]

it used to reach 82 on stock fan curve

[rapid lake]

Same

[cold elbow]

but thing is the fan was like 40% when its 82C ....

[rapid lake]

You're cool like that

[cold elbow]

its not good

[cold elbow]

i care a lot about noise

[thin turtle]

CPU fan runs 100% 24/7

[rapid lake]

My fans are really really quiet

Might be a bad thing

[thin turtle]

My AC is loud enough to not care about noise

A damn jet engine

[cold elbow]

hdd noise triggers me

this is how quiet my pc is

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

i like my hdd noise

puts me to sleep sometimes

get these 12tb ultrastars

[cold elbow]

nah

use a NAS and throw it somewhere

[civic cloud]

"hehe it's thinking"

[lost fossil]

i mean mine's in the hallway but sometimes i leave the door open to listen to it as fall asleep

[civic cloud]

pc asmr

[rapid lake]

How is this

[thin turtle]

Is it the same as ps2 noise

[lost fossil]

move the middle dot one box down

or just remove it tbf bc if you move it down like that then it will be almost a straight line

[rapid lake]

Why does it need to be linear

[lost fossil]

it doesn't

[rapid lake]

I like my fan curves exponential

[lost fossil]

but it also doesn't make sense to reduce the fan speed increase as the temp gets higher

[cold elbow]

this also does not make sense

40% when its doing nothing

[rapid lake]

for u

[cold elbow]

nah

[lost fossil]

the thing is that if you set it lower than 40% then it's possible that the cooler will not be cooling well enough for the temps to stay under no-longer-40%

[cold elbow]

u either commit to the zero rpm or not

[rapid lake]

wdym

[lost fossil]

used to happen to me with 30% which is why it's at 35%

[rapid lake]

that's 0

at 35

I will try 40

[lost fossil]

she probably meant smth like this

[rapid lake]

ah

Here is cpu

[rapid lake]

I don't really see the point

Cars do this because they have liquid cooling

My pc only runs on fans, it will heat up beyond that 0 percent mark

quick

So fan needs to be at like 20 at least

[thin turtle]

Get AIO

[lost fossil]

yes so don't listen to lemon's propaganda

[thin turtle]

And do it

[rapid lake]

Expensive

[rapid lake]

True

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Also unnecessary

[thin turtle]

Why are you adjusting to noise anyway

Do you not have an ac

[rapid lake]

I'm not this thing is SILENT

Until the GPU fan goes brrr

[thin turtle]

Hm

[rapid lake]

I am just trying to understand these fan curves man

With this the GPU is at 60c rn

That's bad

[thin turtle]

Yeah they are useful if you keep them on the higher side from my experience

[rapid lake]

I just have discord and steam open

[thin turtle]

Why is your fan not reaching 100%

Y axis is speed right?

[rapid lake]

I was copying 🍉

[rapid lake]

Yes

[thin turtle]

If temps are 80° C you wanna cool that thang bro

Make that the 100% point

[rapid lake]

btw at 100 it's 3200 rpms

[lost fossil]

put 0c and 40c at the same %

no point in 0rpm mode

📠

[thin turtle]

What matters are the temps

[cold elbow]

what matters is temp under load

[thin turtle]

So?

[rapid lake]

This is it

I'm not changing it

[thin turtle]

Why is it only 80% at 80C

You never allow it to go there willingly

[rapid lake]

This keeps it below 75

or at 75

[thin turtle]

Hopefully

[rapid lake]

I will use the same for GPU

maybe a few tweaks

[thin turtle]

Do GPUs even throttle ? Or do they just crash

[rapid lake]

They throttle I think?

[cold elbow]

they do

after like 65 C

[rapid lake]

What is good idle for the gpu

[cold elbow]

while playing hd2

[rapid lake]

It seems like

Your cooling setup is better overall

Mine is not, so I have to compensate by ramping up speeds

[lost fossil]

ofc, lemon has one of the best coolers on the market

[rapid lake]

Shorten fan lifetime > shorten component lifetime

[lost fossil]

she doesn't know the struggles

[civic cloud]

highest stress on the components is from changing temps

[rapid lake]

The more you know

[thin turtle]

Whoa mine idles there lmao

[rapid lake]

🤝

[thin turtle]

Thx lessy

[civic cloud]

my electric soap dispenser died yesterday, and I just fixed it by breaking it open and taking a look

Now it works again

????

[lost fossil]

gauss used intimidation

it's very effective!

[civic cloud]

Didn't even touch anything, literally just pried the cover open

[civic cloud]

:3

[rapid lake]

The fan goes beyond the 100percent limit I set

Which is 2600rpm

Can I make it strictly stay below

[lost fossil]

set the limit to 90%

[rapid lake]

Yeah I figured it out

Now no matter what the fan won't make noise

at the expense of like, 3-4 degrees hotter

Still rdr2 is running 60fps at 65-67

🧊

[mossy violet]

What is value for money considering left one is 40$ expensive

[twin badger]

It's gonna start ramping up like a jet after 60 degrees

I'd personally do something like this - gradually increase the fan speed before it gets too hot

[devout basalt]

My pc doesnt meet the req for widow 11?

[rapid lake]

@twin badger This is what I ended up going with for the CPU

[rapid lake]

This would not keep the CPU cool enough

60% at 75c

[lost fossil]

download the iso and burn it to usb using Rufus, it will ask you before burning if you'd like to apply some hax to the image

[snow rover]

or just use window 10

[twin badger]

Oh, well, that's actually my GPU fan curve

[rapid lake]

Even worse lmao

[twin badger]

It works well for me

Keep in mind i have a 3 fan model, so i don't need to ramp up my fan speeds as much to keep it somewhat cool

[rapid lake]

Yeah, I have 2-fan model so I set mine accordingly

[stone apex]

Okay, so, uh....

I kinda wanna try building a white PC...

[brave field]

do it

Us would love to see the result

[stone apex]

I'm thinking of what should I change.

I think I will keep the b650m
It has white particles on it.

White cooling fan and ram I think it is? Also a case.

[quaint helm]

10% more expensive than black build moment

[cold elbow]

Pulling off a good looking white pc os not easy

[tidal plume]

Pulling off a working PC is not easy

[tidal plume]

*is

[cold elbow]

That's soooooo easy

Think i was 10 when i built my first computer

[tidal plume]

Build a pc and send it to me (for evaluation ofc)

[cold elbow]

It was a cheap pc with 3rd gen i5

And i think gtx970

[tidal plume]

Better than my old OEM

[cold elbow]

Who are you to evaluate my craftsman?

[tidal plume]

I’m basically god

[junior flax]

Haha similar build to my first

i had a i5 4690k and gtx 970

[cold elbow]

U did that before or after you learned that your gpu is actually 3.5gb?

😭

[junior flax]

😭

i didn’t know too much back then

[cold elbow]

Yeah me too

And i installed cpu fan in the wrong header

[civic cloud]

spins anyway, good enough

[cold elbow]

I figured that mistake only after changing that stock cooler

[lost fossil]

is it because a lot of white parts are actually yellow?

cough cough arctic cough cough

[cold elbow]

That and ummm... a lot of these "white parts" are not totally white

[tidal plume]

And some look like Temu products

Referring to this https://www.asrock.com/Graphics-Card/AMD/Radeon RX 9070 XT Steel Legend 16GB/index.us.asp

[cold elbow]

Or you dont find a specific part in white

[lost fossil]

then you just paint it white

[tidal plume]

What the flip you can’t discuss p graphy here

The 2TB is 145

[civic cloud]

2TB then

[snow rover]

more better

1tb is what, 3 games now?

How about a crucial T500 pro

Same price and has a DRAM

[thin turtle]

My current ssd is gen 3 1TB

[rapid lake]

My PC came with 256 originally but I told them to put in a 1tb... I regret not paying extra for 2tb

[quaint helm]

that 1tb is enough for OS lol u can buy better nvme for extra

[rapid lake]

So don't cheap out on storage especially if you don't have a second m.2 slot

You paid for the whole motherboard you’re gonna use the whole motherboard

[thin turtle]

Get some sata

[rapid lake]

I have one

But I don't think I can put it anywhere in the case

[quaint helm]

why waste whole mobo when u can just use 1 pcie slot

[civic cloud]

I just keep adding 1TB when they are on sale, I got 4x1TB drives

[rapid lake]

You have 4 slots?

fancy mobo

[thin turtle]

Yeah high end mobos

[rapid lake]

I forgor to mention I have a 1tb hdd plugged in, but it's way too slow'

[civic cloud]

2 NVME and 2 SATA

[quaint helm]

iirc E-atx have like 5minimum + 2 from extension card

[civic cloud]

Think the mobo has 3 or 4 NVME slots

[rapid lake]

Can I see'

Your case

[civic cloud]

mine?

[rapid lake]

Yes yours

[thin turtle]

Some of these go to waste if you use a sata

[rapid lake]

@civic cloud Where do the sata drives go?

Are they just hanging on the wire

[civic cloud]

You can mount them in the back where you put all the cables

[rapid lake]

[thin turtle]

I can supply the wood myself so

[civic cloud]

[quaint helm]

i can simply chop down some wood near my area

[civic cloud]

you're also missing a bunch of steps from cutting down the tree to having wood that can be used for furniture

[lost fossil]

[thin turtle]

He will put the whole log in his room

[civic cloud]

I think you need high rpm hdd to keep up with sata3 ssd

[rapid lake]

I have kingston

[tidal plume]

It says error

[rapid lake]

Steam being weird I guess

[civic cloud]

Half the price and 1% of the speed

[lost fossil]

you need a double actuator hdd to keep up with a sata ssd

[tidal plume]

Can you add me?

I'll add you when I'm on PC yeah

Alright

I don’t know what I’m looking at

There is nothing related to the GPU

wait right no which fan being overridden? cpu fan or gpu

GPU

Even with force apply

list all the app u downloaded for gpu lol

[thin turtle]

Do it jiggle now?

[quartz kayak]

No

It jiggled before

Thats bad

[thin turtle]

What's this thing even

[quartz kayak]

Its like, when a 3d printer has issues, you 3d print that model that tests everything. Hangs, bridges, towers. Everything. And then you fix the 3d printer (or try to) and reprint to see if its fixed. Its a benchmark.

[thin turtle]

[quartz kayak]

The first one (when she was broken) didnt even print because the base got warped due to how poorly the pla came out of the nozzle

Theres als9 the 3d benchy

Is a boat

🚢

Does the same but its kinda shallow in the issues it exposes

My 3d printer can make a benchy in like 4 minutes, its crazy fast

[fickle finch]

Isn't it expensive

[rapid lake]

Reset? No i just turned fan control off

[quartz kayak]

what is

[fickle finch]

to 3d print stuff

[quartz kayak]

depends

the printer is the most expensive. a pla roll costs around 20 euro per kg.

most prints ur gonna do are gonna be hollow so its really not that expensive to print overall.

[quaint helm]

bambo lab (?) have good 3d printers right?

[quartz kayak]

ye

i have an a1 mini it was like 200 euro

[fickle finch]

expensive

why not just get a laser printer

[quartz kayak]

and its pretty much the best entry printer, even better than some 500 euro ones

[quartz kayak]

thats for paper no?

[fickle finch]

only yes

[quartz kayak]

bcs 3d printing prints plastic parts

like

objects

[fickle finch]

oh

[quaint helm]

i saw bambo lab product every where lol even some vids about 3d printer , bamboo lab stuff 100% exist

[nova steppe]

bamboo lab printers are so good dentist offices here have almost 10k worth of their printers in their offices

veri nice

Broooo, I just wanted a WEATHER WIDGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is it an ad widget ffs.

Is there any way to disable all those ad tabs?..

[nova steppe]

Turn off expand on hover

I don't even click it anymore, I just use it for temps

[civic cloud]

you can turn off the whole news tab

[stone apex]

How?

[civic cloud]

also you doxxed yourself, the adress is on the weather app

[civic cloud]

somewhere in windows personalisation settings, im sure you can find it

[stone apex]

It's fake anyways.

[exotic patrol]

if you right click the taskbar itself you can remove news and interests

[civic cloud]

okay ,just wanted to point it out :)

[stone apex]

Then it disables weather.

[exotic patrol]

you can't really remove the ads from the widget itself

What are some normal priced white pc cases?

[quaint helm]

[quaint helm]

these are the consider low price ones u havent see y60 and y70 lol

[thin turtle]

You really are a blessing

[quaint helm]

o wait nvm y60 is 170-180 ish now

[stone apex]

Well..............

[quaint helm]

imo good white case = y60 , 3500x , lian li O series , and fractual if u like wood

[stone apex]

Eh, idk.

Too many sweats just because I like white gpu.

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/q7GbQd

Kind of/

[quaint helm]

get aorus ice gpu cheaper white option

can consider this

[stone apex]

Meh no.

This one it the one I want.

[quaint helm]

wait a min......why is this one 12vhpwr

[stone apex]

What.

Well then, just need to choose case.

I think some case with hidden PSU.

[thin turtle]

Get 5070 while you are at it

[stone apex]

+150 euros. Toomuch.

[tidal plume]

get 9060XT while you are at it

it's cheaper

[stone apex]

Nvidia only.

[snow gazelle]

Novideo only

[tidal plume]

crazy brand loyality

[stone apex]

Nah,

[tidal plume]

why are you making a white build?

[stone apex]

I need their features.

[tidal plume]

you didn't even add a case

[stone apex]

I'm thinking about it.

Because the GPU is white, and would look kinda stupid while everything else is black.

[tidal plume]

btw there's a double fan version of the card for 47 less

[tidal plume]

use a differenet model

and the cooler is a little overkill for that cpu

[stone apex]

I'm sure I wouldn't listen to you.

[tidal plume]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/3Yt9Zc

in black

except the motherboard

I forgot the motherboard

are you planning to use a micro ATX case?

[stone apex]

12 gb vram.

5060 ti has 16.

[tidal plume]

that's the 5070

if you still wanna have the 5060ti I can add that

or you could go with a 9070 but you need those NVIDIA features for whatever reason

no

But close

[civic cloud]

[stone apex]

I also have this build.

But it's fully black.

[civic cloud]

only ask because of the .de in the link

[stone apex]

Uh, it didn't save for some reason.

I've changed the HDD to SSD and tower cooling.

[tidal plume]

yea I was about to ask if you are trolling

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/pDddTM

Amazon now

[sharp coyote]

Wouldnt we do single 2tb ?

So u have 1 m.2 slot free for later use

[stone apex]

Ehhh... Isn't separating them a better choice?

[tidal plume]

it doesn't really matter that much

I added a case for you https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Gwny2x

(sorry)

[stone apex]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/ynqPWc

[tidal plume]

so you are going for no GPU?

[sharp coyote]

For wat

[tidal plume]

why are you so obsessed with that micro ATX motherboard 😭

[stone apex]

That was a base.

[stone apex]

Two channels of data.

[tidal plume]

it will look very stupid in a full size ATX case

period

[stone apex]

Nobody said I wouldn't take matx case.

[tidal plume]

you used an ATX case in your last PCPP list

[quaint helm]

Phew thought u put a g

[quaint helm]

If u have a big gpu it wont look stupid lol

Like noctua 4080 thats a 4 slot card

[tidal plume]

He wants a 5060Ti

[quaint helm]

Even funnier is the one he want have a 12hvpwr

[tidal plume]

The white?

[tidal plume]

It shouldn’t be a problem since it doesn’t draw nearly as much power than the 5090/5080

[quaint helm]

Yeah

[quaint helm]

180w tdp and u have to find a suitable psu lmao just for the 12hvpwr

[tidal plume]

🤷‍♀️ freedom of PC building

[twin badger]

That would translate to "I haven't heard about this GPU manufacturer"
