My countries economic state is so bad rn though iPhone 17 pro max costs 1199$ US to 1800$ CAD after conversion

[spare relic]

Dust

[cold elbow]

I can probably buy a full blown NAS for that price

[sterile cliff]

120$

Thats highway robbery

[rapid lake]

I wish I could find thrown away laptops and pc parts in junkyards here

[cold elbow]

Go to hardware stores

[mystic solar]

Nvm it was even more money

[rapid lake]

I know a place with dozens of broken laptops stacked

to use as parts

[rapid lake]

that's cad right

not usd

[cold elbow]

Take one with broken screen

[mystic solar]

Yes

[cold elbow]

No battery

[rapid lake]

look

[cold elbow]

[rapid lake]

the only reason I don't have a little NAS setup is

the internet here is dogshit

[cold elbow]

internet is irrelevant to the NAS

[rapid lake]

I'm not transferring files or mirroring my PC on 30mbps internet

[snow rover]

but

[cold elbow]

Yes

[snow rover]

you put the nas on your local network

[cold elbow]

It's local network

And u get gigabit transfer speed

[civic cloud]

Anyone said that the Nas is on your local network?

[cold elbow]

Gus

What

[civic cloud]

What

[rapid lake]

good point actually

I have this old dell xps I think

i3 4th gen with 4gb of ram

[cold elbow]

Perfect

[rapid lake]

I don't think it has 1gb LAN port but eh

[cold elbow]

It does

[rapid lake]

how can I hook up a 4tb HDD to it

[cold elbow]

Is it 3.5?

Or usb

[mystic solar]

is this good

[rapid lake]

oh I'm not talking about the one I have

I want to buy a regular 4tb hdd

the ones that use a sata

connector

[cold elbow]

There are two sizes

3.5

[rapid lake]

3.5 yeagh

[cold elbow]

2.5

2.5 is what comes in laptops

So u can probably find 2tb easily

2.5'

Plug two of these

[rapid lake]

I've never ripped open a laptop but I'll have a crack at it when I get the hdd

though I have a little question

[civic cloud]

Depending on the laptop there might be lots of cracking, yeah :D

[rapid lake]

my mobo only has one ethernet port

[cold elbow]

Your router has more

[rapid lake]

do I need to get a switch

[civic cloud]

Why do you want to put a new HDD into a laptop tho

[rapid lake]

it's not gonna be new

that is for sure

[rapid lake]

Oh I can just use my router as a switch?

[civic cloud]

ok why don't you put a not new SSD in there?

[rapid lake]

I have two already

[cold elbow]

Yes

[rapid lake]

not sure how that works but we'll see

maybe I can run my mc server on it when no one else wants to play and get 0 ping

[cold elbow]

U might need more ram

Idk about minecraft

[quaint helm]

more of everything

[rapid lake]

what if I run linux

I bet that would be totally fun

and a great experience

[rapid lake]

mc servers can run on 2gb of ram

[cold elbow]

Mint uses like 800 MB from ram

Linux mint

[rapid lake]

Holy

I forgot how big this was

That’s a full sized keyboard almost

I don’t even remember how to turn it on

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

You think

Can I use water-based lube or will that mess it up

[civic cloud]

id stick to oil

[rapid lake]

It’s a 3rd gen i3

Definitely need more ram

But not as slow as I thought it was gonna be

[quaint helm]

almost same average temp (OCed the core clock only , mem clock remain same bcus no vram cooling)

[rapid lake]

And

Performance

[quaint helm]

700 points gap

[rapid lake]

What’s that in fps %

[quaint helm]

66.69 vs 66.91

wait wait no

wrong one

61.85 vs 66.91

[cold elbow]

that's 7.5% improvement

[quaint helm]

just from gpu core clock

[spare relic]

[nova steppe]

But what are the memory temps?

[quaint helm]

[nova steppe]

Is it a laptop or desktop?

[quaint helm]

desktop

[nova steppe]

Then point a fan at it and don't worry about memory temps when you're like 15-20° away from throttling

[quaint helm]

i 'kinda' have a push pull near the vram spot

[muted mantle]

hello long sock users

if i were to get 2 ssds instead of one for a next build

would a slower 1tb main drive and a faster 2tb secondary drive be alright

or 2tb slower, 1tb faster, etc.

what should the setup be?

[twin badger]

Second one

And keep that bigger drive as your secondary

Well, that's at least how i do it

Since the second drive is for all the games and programs and the main drive is OS and some light stuff

It's recommended not to keep your SSD full anyways

[muted mantle]

so 2 drives

1. 1tb fast, home directory, pictures, movies, videos, etc.
2. 2tb slow, steam directory

[muted mantle]

i once filled my ssd to have 2gb left

peace of mind now that i have 300 left

-valorant, -fortnite, im balling

i could install many many indie games with this space

[lost fossil]

i would do it the other way around

[muted mantle]

ive seen worse

[void turret]

Is it usb-c

[muted mantle]

1tb slow and 2tb fast or 1tb steam 2tb home?

[thin turtle]

Omg yes

[nova steppe]

Str8 from 🇨🇳 (in a good way)

[lost fossil]

games these days load a lot of assets and some use direct storage which needs a fast drive, so i would use a fast big drive for games and a slow smol drive for windows and media libraries

[nova steppe]

Oh, reply brokey

[lost fossil]

damn

[muted mantle]

ok yea thats good, 1tb slow for home and 2tb fast for steam

[nova steppe]

Would have been another in a row had the reply not broke

[lost fossil]

as u can see, yes

[muted mantle]

imagine this

main drive has both windows and a linux distro installed

[lost fossil]

blinux

[muted mantle]

could i possibly give both OS's access to the secondary drive?

[nova steppe]

I don't want to imagine anymore

Yes*

[muted mantle]

ok you people arent helping ill go ask in the other long sock server

[muted mantle]

symlinks?

[thin turtle]

Omg I'm on tv

[thin turtle]

Indeed

[nova steppe]

Idk what that is, but if the file systems are the same, then yes, you could have the secondary drive accessed by both seamlessly

[muted mantle]

symlinks are in laymans terms shortcuts to files and directories

[nova steppe]

And if not, then you can just have two partitions anyway

[quartz kayak]

I have the board to mod mine aswell but i am not capable of doing shell mods yet

[muted mantle]

True...

[muted mantle]

whered you get this kind of board?

[nova steppe]

Is hardware acceleration off? And you have a site with crazy graphics open? (I know the mihoyo sites run terribly without it)

[muted mantle]

Are you also a fan of the ds4

Best controller ever made tbh

[muted mantle]

i have one on my desk rn

i have ds3-5 on me

and i think that the ds4 fits my hands the best

ds5 is good

[quartz kayak]

I agree

[muted mantle]

but ds4 is enough

ill have to mod it to have usbc

[quartz kayak]

Ds5 has too many features

[muted mantle]

i cant stand the older usb port

[muted mantle]

id say its for the better

the demo was a really fun experience

[quartz kayak]

Marius also has a joystick mod for stick drift. Also worth looking into if ur willing to solder

Hall effect

I ll eventually do all of that when i have time and money

[nova steppe]

I'd rather have Mini-B than Micro-USB

[muted mantle]

quick question about the ds4, specifically about modding it

if i were to make this my primary controller, the first mod i should do is change the port to usb-c, yeah?

what about other mods

HE sticks? shell swaps are a possibility

stock could be fine too

[civic cloud]

hell yeah

[lost fossil]

tmr is better than he from what i've read

i say that as i put he sticks into my ds4s what buying a pack of 10 does to a mf

[muted mantle]

whats the difference?

arent both based on the same principle

[lost fossil]

higher resolution and less power draw from what i've read

i have no idea

[muted mantle]

ok thats actually pretty cool

oh and also on the topic of power draw i should also swap out the battery

and also also on the topic of hall effect sensors i need to swap out my keyboard

i have that amount of balance that i could even build one myself

IF they have switches in stock, im mainly thinking about Boba U4T's and they werent in stock the last time i checked

i swear to fucking god

oh wait nvm i found something

42€ for 30 pieces

the switches are just under a different reseller

[civic cloud]

just buy it from aliexpress, probably half the price

[muted mantle]

im not paying customs

especially if they have to be shipped or flown to eu first

what the fuck is a labubu big into energy

[jovial tide]

[twin badger]

I feel like at a certain point the drive speed becomes irrelevant for games. I have not felt any difference even between my old SATA and NVMe drive.

[muted mantle]

man idk ill just keep this kb and look at it later

Certain games show it more than others. It depends on how it loads files.

i finally found the battery size that i ordered for one of my ds4s a few years ago and ordered some more to replace the batteries in all of my ds4s, it's called 103450

it's roughly 2mm thicker than the default so closing up the controller is a bit

also replaced the sticks with my 10-pack halo effect remainders

before you ask, i just kept buying new ds4s until i discovered this halo effect magic

for the part, they are not exactly calibrated out of the box so i had to use https://dualshock-tools.github.io/ to calibrate them and in the process of calibrating the center i thought for a second "why did i buy these modules if i could just recalibrate my drifting ones to 0,0 with this"

[civic cloud]

And what's the answer to that question

[lost fossil]

[civic cloud]

Thank you oleg

@rapid lake can you show me the monitor holders behind your monitors

I cut my desk shallower so my monitors are way closer to me now , but I can't move them further back because my monitor arms are shitty

[lost fossil]

[lost fossil]

no i mean fr

what about me posting the name of his monitor arm is not clear

[rapid lake]

Yeah sure

@civic cloud

[lost fossil]

but fr imagine living in a rented apartment and being unable to drill walls

[rapid lake]

Imagine living in a rented apartment and being unable to cut a square in the wall to make a window

[rapid lake]

With this style of monitor arm you can move them back quite a bit, for reference my desk is like 60cm or slightly less

If you want to move them further back you'll have to move the desk off the wall though, I try to keep it as close as possible without having to put the monitores in my face

[muted mantle]

heya

[rapid lake]

ello

[muted mantle]

ill take a pic on my phone quick and then ill ask the question

just to give you context

this is my current build

[lost fossil]

it's less headache to get 2 separate arms on the chance that the setup that you have in mind is not going to work bc the two arms are glued to the same base

gauss prints money basically so it's no issue for him

[rapid lake]

lmfao

[muted mantle]

im thinking about either buying a new case or filling up the case with fans

yes its messy i know but it does the job

[rapid lake]

Yeah I mean I'd probably recommend that

two arms

[muted mantle]

would black or white fans be better?

[lost fossil]

before you do that, remove one of the gpu power cables, two piggybacks hanging just look bad

[muted mantle]

wait actually atp its better to just buy a new case

[lost fossil]

i wouldn't buy a new case

[rapid lake]

case look good

[lost fossil]

what u got looks good

[nova steppe]

if you leave it white, the only "issue" is it not being a matching white

[muted mantle]

remove one pci-e cable and connect the bit hanging off the other cable?

[lost fossil]

yes

[nova steppe]

and I'd stick with that same amount of fans honestly

[muted mantle]

with the glass panel gone im idling at around 45 degrees

under HEAVY load it goes up to 90

[rapid lake]

That's a bit high

that's too high

[muted mantle]

its toasty

[rapid lake]

heavy load as in like

[nova steppe]

cpu at 90?

[rapid lake]

gaming

or benchmarks

[muted mantle]

buy matching fans and put them below the gpu?

[muted mantle]

max rt in online

[muted mantle]

nope GPU temps

[rapid lake]

That's no good

[muted mantle]

cpu is at uuh

ill check

[nova steppe]

if the GPU fans aren't near max at those temps, then you need to adjust fan curves before you add more fans

[rapid lake]

ngl this case design is kinda bad

[muted mantle]

cpu temp is at 40-50c

[muted mantle]

yep ill have to check that

[rapid lake]

Are you using fancontrol

or afterburner?

[muted mantle]

uuuuh

[nova steppe]

it's kinda typical now, but yeah, it does suck for directional flow

[muted mantle]

im pretty sure i set up the fans in bios

[rapid lake]

Yeah fishtank cases in general

[nova steppe]

that's why I'm still on the fence about changing my aio to intake instead of exhaust

[muted mantle]

but that was a while ago

[rapid lake]

that's the cpu fans

[muted mantle]

shit

[rapid lake]

fancontrol lets you control both at once

https://getfancontrol.com

[nova steppe]

i need to take my fans out the hub so that fancontrol can actually work

[lost fossil]

how much would 9 of these be
Thermalright TL-S12RW

[nova steppe]

is the R in that for Reverse?

[lost fossil]

yes

[muted mantle]

[nova steppe]

[rapid lake]

I've heard of p12 and f12 but what's s12

[lost fossil]

you've heard of arctic, this is thermalright

[muted mantle]

15€ for 3 on amazon

[rapid lake]

ah

therm(alright)

[nova steppe]

thermals alright

[lost fossil]

get 2 of these 3 packs and put them at the bottom and side as intake

move the 3 nzxt on the side to the top as exhaust temporarily

[muted mantle]

omfg amazon links are long

[lost fossil]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CC1DMTJ5

[nova steppe]

remember when you could get away with one intake fan in the bottom front and one exhaust in the upper rear?

Pepperidge Farm remembers

[lost fossil]

it was so long ago that not even the pepper bridge farm remembers

[muted mantle]

glup

i could give the usb a bit of slack

i shouldve planned this better

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0DDTP5979

ok does this work

yes

[muted mantle]

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0DDTFQ52M

what would the difference between these two be

same product afaik

whats up with amazon having duplicate products

[nova steppe]

[lost fossil]

these 90 usb adapters are a godsend

[muted mantle]

im so tripped out

[lost fossil]

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0F6NB6593 damn

[muted mantle]

these are the same product

[lost fossil]

good guess but actually no

[muted mantle]

[lost fossil]

first is reverse blade, second is regular blade, third is one fan regular blade

you need the reverse blade ones if you want good looking bottom intake

[muted mantle]

[nova steppe]

I really need some static pressure fans for the side intake, as these airflow fans can't pull the air from the massive gap on the side

[muted mantle]

so

the 16 euro pack is reverse blade for bottom intake

and the 15 euro pack is for ... top intake?

or bottom exhaust

so thats cool

[nova steppe]

no bottom exhaust

[muted mantle]

alr

[nova steppe]

unless you want a handwarmer

[lost fossil]

i don't see the prices despairj

[muted mantle]

so this one is the same as the 16 euro one but already daisy chained

[muted mantle]

for which product

[lost fossil]

any of them

[lost fossil]

it's a different design, so not the same

[muted mantle]

15 for regular blade, 16 for reverse blade, 27 for reverse daisy chained

ok yeah im not even going to try to copy the gif ill just give up on sending gifs

[muted mantle]

yeah looks like it

yep

IS THE GPU REALLY NOT BLOWING

[nova steppe]

Well, the program doesn't know your fan speeds yet

this is my first build

i couldve planned this better ok

it works fine for now

[nova steppe]

and?

[quaint helm]

affects the fps

[nova steppe]

[nova steppe]

where's the old Jason?

[lost fossil]

died of age

[muted mantle]

[nova steppe]

[civic cloud]

Thank you🤝

[lost fossil]

what for

[nova steppe]

my gpu fans idle at 1100, but they don't have the fan stop feature
you can't hear them at idle, but I'd like for them to be able to turn off

[civic cloud]

I drilled so many holes into the wall already, what are you on about? This isn't america

[quaint helm]

unplug the fan header

[civic cloud]

Topic is over already cuz I managed to fuck around with my current monitor arms enough for everything to fit🤝

odd choice to go to sleep at 10am but you do you queen

[nova steppe]

[muted mantle]

now what could the fans be

[quaint helm]

what happened to the 2nd fan

[muted mantle]

its the front cpu fan

for some reason the back cpu fan and the exhaust arent detected

there is also a 5th fan but im not sure where its getting that from

gpu temps are way better now

idling at around 35

ill turn off the pc and check the connections

maybe thatll make the fans pop up

[lost fossil]

it says on the card, set to 100% see which one spins up

[muted mantle]

yes i already set them up

even gave them names

how cool is that

[civic cloud]

Did you call one Bob

[quaint helm]

bob

[muted mantle]

yes thats the side bottom fan

so first

take one pcie cable out and place the dangling bit in place of the old one

done

the problem was that i had connected the rear fan to the wrong port

actually no

thats the cpu fan

found the right cha_fan port

should work now

[lost fossil]

these labels don't matter in the grand scheme of things, and especially when you use smth like fancontrol

[quaint helm]

so if i want to merge 2 fan's wire into 1 female fan header is it possible or its dangerous (bcus i dont wnat to waste 1 fan header on my mobo )

[civic cloud]

You can buy Y Splitters

or, crazy idea, get a fan hub

[quaint helm]

i dont want to spend another 7$ on fan hub

wait i think i have to now.....5 fans to 1st hub , 2 fan + a AIO pump to 2nd hub

[lost fossil]

F splitters are better

[civic cloud]

[lost fossil]

i remember going to the internet to get a fan splitter and they all split right at the connector which is cringe

i much prefer daisychained female connectors

like this but for fans

[quaint helm]

i hope theres p12 max pwm pst in local shop here

[quaint helm]

theres fan with this header?

[lost fossil]

no

[quaint helm]

[lost fossil]

this is what a y splitter is and i hate these

[quaint helm]

if it stack horizontally its better imo

[muted mantle]

im going to vertically mount my gpu the next time i build a pc

ok yeah i got the rear fan mounted and while i was there took out one of the pcie power cables

i had to take out the entire gpu to reach the fan port

genuinelty if something broke im going to stick a fork into this pc

[lost fossil]

pics or didn't happen

also btw i think i saw a cpu 4pin dangling about at the top of the case

don't need that there

[muted mantle]

yes its just chilling/hanging around or something

the rear fan got fixed

back cpu fan is still gray

5 and 7 are still somewhere

fan 7 is for some reason set to 100

its probably most likely an empty connection

ill turn it to 0 just to be safe

[lost fossil]

open the case, stop a fan with your finger, see which one has gone to 0 rpm

[muted mantle]

already tested that

[lost fossil]

label it accordingly and stop the next one

[muted mantle]

wait actually no not tested that

ive already labeled every single one of them except for one ghost fan and possible the back cpu fan

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MOBO GETTING 80 DEGREES FROM

[lost fossil]

hotspot somewhere

[quaint helm]

it just feels hot

[muted mantle]

i need a thermal camera

[quaint helm]

ayo

[lost fossil]

that pepe looks like he's putting my advice to good use

[muted mantle]

crying in pain too

committed to the act

[lost fossil]

[quaint helm]

i dont dare to touch my p12 max lol that shit is metal or some material inside the 'metal family'

[muted mantle]

what about curves

[lost fossil]

touch the hub then

[lost fossil]

thems curves dang

[muted mantle]

[quaint helm]

Gimme ur insurance first

[muted mantle]

this good?

[lost fossil]

i'm not the best in here to ask about curves bc my curves are fucked up compared to what ppl usually have

maybe not really fucked up now that i'm looking at them again but definitely not what people tend to run

[quaint helm]

Imagine using curve i use the % slider only frfr

[muted mantle]

this is quiet

my keyboard is louder than the pc

but you know what

MORE

actually wait lets benchmark the setup first

[rapid lake]

damn how many fan hubs does your mobo have

[rapid lake]

that second one is exactly what I have

[muted mantle]

i actually have all 4 case fans connected to different ports...

[muted mantle]

i couldve thought it throughout better

[rapid lake]

wdym

This gives you more control it's fine

[muted mantle]

true

but i have no space to add additional fans

[rapid lake]

I have two fan hubs and one of them used by the cpu

because my mobo is cheap

[quaint helm]

Run steelnomad frfr

[rapid lake]

Aren't you ordering some fans that you can daisychain?

[muted mantle]

oooooh no not at all

im going to stress test the pc

im going to run some games

[muted mantle]

thats kinda the plan

[rapid lake]

Run minecraft with photon and DH

on ultra

[muted mantle]

True...

but i have a better idea

[rapid lake]

[quaint helm]

The new benchmark in 3dmark is enough to test lol

[quaint helm]

Newer rt stress test

[rapid lake]

She wants to test it on games

[muted mantle]

yes 3dmark works

[rapid lake]

and honestly trhat's what matters

[muted mantle]

but i already have a test in mind

[rapid lake]

This will run just fine I think

what's your gpu

[muted mantle]

it ran last time

[muted mantle]

3060 ti

everything works fine for max rt

[rapid lake]

Ah

Might struggle a little bit

[muted mantle]

it went 85 the last time i ran the game at maximum settings

[rapid lake]

That's not ideal but not dangerous either

[quaint helm]

How the hell u get 85 on gta5

[muted mantle]

🥀

[thin turtle]

85 temperature?

[muted mantle]

i am above your level of comprehension

[muted mantle]

yeee sure 85 fahrenheit

[quaint helm]

I get 80+ on F1 24 only

[muted mantle]

oh wait actually i have an EVEN BETTER benchmark

[thin turtle]

Why would a gpu overheat

[muted mantle]

cyberpunk

[thin turtle]

Couldn't you like cool it

And look what's overheating

A 3060

[rapid lake]

Shit fans, shit case and no fancontrol

[thin turtle]

Ridiculous

[muted mantle]

now i have shit fans, a shit case and fancontrol

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Now should be better

fancontrol made a 7 degree difference for me

[thin turtle]

Undervolt it

[rapid lake]

after some configuring

[muted mantle]

soon™

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

don't

[thin turtle]

You are the best 3060 owner I know echo

[rapid lake]

it's extra headache just run stock

[muted mantle]

ok not bad

[rapid lake]

undervolting a 3060 is hilarious

[thin turtle]

Ratio

[quaint helm]

29????

[muted mantle]

this is running at max rt without secondary bounces remember

[thin turtle]

Well y'all can't maintain the temperature under 70

[muted mantle]

it was a joke

[rapid lake]

Let's see at 100%

and use an overlay in-game

[thin turtle]

It shouldn't really matter that much

[muted mantle]

ok let me just turn on secondary ray bounces

[sterile cliff]

Puny levels of heat

[rapid lake]

it's normal to be over 70

even 75

[quaint helm]

I think i can hit that if i direct the AC cold air into my px lol

[sterile cliff]

85 and above is a bit worrying

[thin turtle]

This isn't an excuse for not optimising the heat control

[thin turtle]

No

[muted mantle]

oh also

[rapid lake]

Yes

[muted mantle]

where do i turn on the steam overlay people are using

[thin turtle]

Stop using chat gpt

[quaint helm]

My 3060 is allergic to 72+ now lol max 71c

[sterile cliff]

Do shift tab

Then go to overlay

And search for a fps setting

[muted mantle]

or whatever the benchmark overlay is

[rapid lake]

Because you have like 10 fans in your case?

[muted mantle]

oh ty

[sterile cliff]

Oh msi afterburner

[rapid lake]

75 is very much normal

[thin turtle]

75 is lazy

[sterile cliff]

Steam has an overlay but only for fps

[quaint helm]

D-die cooling with AIO

[rapid lake]

For your average gaming PC it's fine

[sterile cliff]

Msi afterburner lets you see info bout ur system in real time

[muted mantle]

runs at 80 fps

[quaint helm]

Hwinfo better

[muted mantle]

this pc is a fucking beast holy shit

[thin turtle]

Absurd

[muted mantle]

with secondary bounces

[sterile cliff]

Never heard of it

[thin turtle]

Stop normalising this

[rapid lake]

Bro your have unrealistic expectations

[thin turtle]

I don't

[rapid lake]

go away

[thin turtle]

[muted mantle]

and the temps are lower

[quaint helm]

Give it a try frfr

[thin turtle]

@cold elbow look at this

[rapid lake]

that's bad

why is this gpu unable to stay cool

[thin turtle]

Had says that 75 is a perfect temperature for a gpu

[rapid lake]

Yes 75 is fine under full load

[muted mantle]

i know

[rapid lake]

I'm not saying it's perfect smh

[muted mantle]

ill uuh

get an ac

and direct the airflow

[thin turtle]

75 might not be technically bad but it means there's an issue

[quaint helm]

Sad that mine max at 71 only

[muted mantle]

into my intake fans

[thin turtle]

It will get higher

[rapid lake]

It doesn't though

[thin turtle]

So the gpu instantly spikes to 75

[muted mantle]

so fan control lowers the temps by a few celsius

[thin turtle]

Is that normal

[rapid lake]

If your GPU doesn't have the best fans and your case doesn't have very optimal airflow 75 is good

[thin turtle]

My gpu reach 70 after like 15 minutes of full load

[quaint helm]

Yes

[rapid lake]

But if you took care of all that and it's 75 then yes

there is an issue

[thin turtle]

Get the best fans

What's stopping you

[rapid lake]

So in the case of echo, and me
75 is a good goal

70 and below is astronomical

without new fans

[thin turtle]

Alright I'll stop bullying you

[rapid lake]

I build new PC next year

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

I'll use the Lancool 217

[thin turtle]

I just want the best for you you know

[muted mantle]

huh

i lower the settings drastically and the gpu doesnt cool down

[thin turtle]

The gpu is the most expensive part of a build

[muted mantle]

i guess cooling just requires to shut down the game

[thin turtle]

You'll need to optimise the whole hardware for it's sake

[rapid lake]

You don't think my gpu is gonna die because it's at 75 under full load lol

[civic cloud]

Everything above ambient is baaaaad

[rapid lake]

that's crazt

[thin turtle]

Yes

You're such a smartie fartie

[rapid lake]

Ja GPU should be room temp

lesgoo

[thin turtle]

My gpu would only cross 70 if the window is closed

(Diabolical undervolt)

[quaint helm]

And smelly

[civic cloud]

Below ambient for real pros

[thin turtle]

Apparently, msi afterburner conflicts with rockstar rage engine

[civic cloud]

You tryna fight

[thin turtle]

It is the cause of the gfx error

[rapid lake]

I like to keep things stock, undervolting software can fail and cause issues when I just want to hop on and play after a long day

[rapid lake]

Yes that's what was causing it for me

and other games too

now it works though

[thin turtle]

Did you update it or what

[rapid lake]

nope

it just works

I don't question

[thin turtle]

Not so engineer of you

[rapid lake]

Rivatuner keeps telling me to update

I refuse

if I update it might break something

[thin turtle]

Rdr and gta

[quaint helm]

Delete that shit , its awful

[rapid lake]

rivatuner the goat

don't tell me use nvidia

[quaint helm]

Rubbishtuner

[thin turtle]

I'll need a new undervolt software

[rapid lake]

Yeah those two mainly

[thin turtle]

Only those two

[quaint helm]

Just cut ur 6 8 or 12pin by half

[thin turtle]

I'll cut your ears

[quaint helm]

[muted mantle]

im just now looking back on this

and omfg

https://modrinth.com/shader/photon-shader

ill have to try this out

oh my fucking god

the cpu is the one doing the heavy lifting here

this is a better benchmark for the cpu rather than the gpu

[rapid lake]

Yeah DH will work the cpu a lot when loading the world at first

Btw

Go to your installations tab on minecraft launcher, clikc the three dots and set the resolution to 1920x1080 or whatever your monitor is

You’ll be able to play in windowed borderless

I don’t know why it’s not like that by default, windowed borderless is a must

[muted mantle]

oh sorry i didnt see the thing

i have cubes without borders installed

i play in windowed borderless but it wasnt on this time

[rapid lake]

Is that some sort of mod

I guess that works too

[civic cloud]

@snow rover hello I have arrived with an audio question

so my stereo speakers have a sub out port (mono signal) and the manual of the subwoofer says to put the mono signal into the left line in

BUT the signal seems to be super duper quiet because I can barely feel any vibration from the sub

ideas to fix? Cinch cable is from Amazon basics and maybe 1.5m long (it's the cable the dude used who sold me the sub)

Already tried on/off and replugging a bunch of times

[mystic solar]

That’s fucking awesooomme.. now just doxx all their asses and send their info to the local police stations they don’t deserve privacy if they doing shit like that

You better not create no fucking anti-piracy clause

[snow rover]

what sub

[civic cloud]

mivoc hype 10 G2 (yeah I went with the budget pic)
Speakers are nubert A125 (not the pro)

just to be clear, the sub is getting a signal but it's super duper quiet, gain is already cranked to the max

Found a forum post describing that exact issue and the dude just said "fixed now" at the end

Like brooooooooo

[civic cloud]

Probably already part of it

[mystic solar]

Them bastards

[snow rover]

can you measure what voltage the sub out is outputting?

[mystic solar]

Fuck you Apple as far as you know I’m in Sweeden

[snow rover]

i'm guessing it's variable but the sub wants 2v

[civic cloud]

I have a voltmeter somewhere

Let me check

[mystic solar]

Wait it’s basically like a filter.. Apple scans your photos for nudes and if it is on a child’s device it won’t allow it to be sent, it also scans for incoming nude photos and won’t let them be received idk if I like this considering they didn’t ask to look at ppls nudes

There is a better way to approach it: just blacklist pornography entirely the internet doesn’t need it

[quaint helm]

CSAM SCAM

[mystic solar]

Yes Apple is just stealing all of our nudes and collecting them on an overseas server so they can one day use them to blackmail us

Good thing I don’t send nudes

[quaint helm]

they take sharing is caring to another level

[civic cloud]

How do you define pornography

[civic cloud]

Found it, but it doesn't have a battery in it 💀

[mystic solar]

Hmmm lemme see.. the 10,000+ terabytes of pornography that is spread across the internet

Ppl needa chill

[civic cloud]

That's not a definition

[mystic solar]

What you want? Me to send you a picture to describe it? I’m not getting banned

[civic cloud]

[quaint helm]

@civic cloud this hub looks good right 8 pwm 8 rgb for 7$!!!

[civic cloud]

how do you expect apple to ban something that you can't even define

[quaint helm]

ask cook

[mystic solar]

Apple can’t ban that

[civic cloud]

Looks like a fan hub yeah

[mystic solar]

Not by themselves

It would be cool if the internet could collectively ban it but that will never happen

[quaint helm]

what else if it aint fan hub

[civic cloud]

idk why do you ask me 😭

[quaint helm]

[lost fossil]

this shit is so ass

first, get a fan splitter

then, get a nollie16

[quaint helm]

7 bucks SEVEN BUCKS

[lost fossil]

nah

i'm not rich enough to buy cheap things

[quaint helm]

all i need is pwm not awful-rainbow-lights

[lost fossil]

[quaint helm]

currently i have one and those rgb pins = covered up so yeah i need another bcus of 2 fan (technically 3)

[lost fossil]

nollie16 is king

[quaint helm]

i see no pwm

[mystic solar]

You guys want me to switch from MSD cards to SSD? Fine. then what external SSD should I get

[quaint helm]

seagate

[mystic solar]

There’s about a million

[lost fossil]

i didn't say that it has fan controls

[quaint helm]

okokok so in my country here they dont sell fan splitter only either a fan hub or get lost

[mystic solar]

Has to be compact too, something I can travel with so not incredibly bulky

[lost fossil]

then fair enough ig

[quaint helm]

• finding cheap fan hub here is rare af if i did not choose that one , next = deepcool which cost like 12$

[lost fossil]

this + any 2230 ssd
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP85BQKV

[mystic solar]

[lost fossil]

i changed the link, check the new one

[quaint helm]

https://www.seagate.com/products/creative-pro/lacie-portable-ssd/ frfr

[mystic solar]

Ok but I also need the actual hardware too though

[lost fossil]

[mystic solar]

NVME

I don’t have

[lost fossil]

yeah as i said

[mystic solar]

Ok I’ll fine one

Find*

[lost fossil]

look up "2230 2tb" there are a lot of options these days

[quaint helm]

2230 now is 2025 only

[mystic solar]

I thought it was 2879

[quaint helm]

dont get wd black

[lost fossil]

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=2230+2tb ton of options

[quaint helm]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D61SDZD2?tag=consecho12357-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_US this this

[mystic solar]

Anything bigger than 2TB

Or not possible?

[lost fossil]

not yet it seems

[mystic solar]

[lost fossil]

back when i was assembling a similar thing, the biggest 2230 was 512gb

so i had to get a 2242 enclosure

[mystic solar]

Bruh why do we have 4TB SD cards but not SSD

[quaint helm]

for now i think 2tb is max

[quaint helm]

bcus uh they build for camera , aint for storing documents and apps stuff

[civic cloud]

@lost fossil how do I use a multimeter to measure the output of my sub out connector? :3

[mystic solar]

I’m only using it to store movies

[civic cloud]

Doesn't give me any real result when I touch the pin and the outside with the thingies

[mystic solar]

and tv shows so it wouldn’t be much different from a camera

[quaint helm]

make sure u have a sd slot on ur device lol then ig u can get any 2tb sd card

[lost fossil]

turn up the volume maybe if it doesnt register

[mystic solar]

I want 4TB

so I’d have to get a hard drive

?

At least 4TB*

[lost fossil]

there are some 4tb 2242 options but they look sussy since they're from noname brands

[mystic solar]

No. I’m not falling for that again

[lost fossil]

well

[civic cloud]

which is positive and negative

[mystic solar]

My noname 1TB MSD?

[quaint helm]

yea

[lost fossil]

when i was in the market, i needed it to have no cable, like the connector right on the thingy, if you don't care about that, you can get a 2280 enclosure and then you can pick any ssd

8tb even

[quaint helm]

[mystic solar]

Yea I know

[lost fossil]

or you could get a brand external drive but the issue there is that you most likely won't be able to take them apart so when 16tb ssds start rolling out you won't be able to upgrade

[mystic solar]

I have a hard drive

[civic cloud]

no worky :(

[lost fossil]

i read that this award is basically given to everyone who signs up

[lost fossil]

shit cable?

[snow rover]

not quite

but it's basically pay to win

[civic cloud]

more likely shit multimeter, this was 8 bucks on AliExpress 💀

[lost fossil]

put the leads in the wall outlet see if it shows 220

if it does then the multimeter is alright

[civic cloud]

I don't feel like killing myself

Can I use a battery to test it

[snow rover]

yes

[lost fossil]

no bc it's dc

[snow rover]

220v don't kill you

probably

[lost fossil]

it doesn't

don't ask me how i know

[snow rover]

well yeah that's true you can't test ac voltage with a battery

[civic cloud]

I am reading conflicting information here

[snow rover]

but you can test if the multimeter works at all

[civic cloud]

Works with battery 🤝

[quaint helm]

ask electroboom

[civic cloud]

I think the multimeter just doesn't go sensitive enough for 2V AC

[civic cloud]

I can't, but I bought a 4€ battery for the multimeter

[lost fossil]

pump up the jam, pump it up
while your feet are stomping
and the jam is pumping
look ahead, the crowd is jumpin'
pump it up a little more
get the party goin' on the dance floor
see, 'cause that's where the party's at
and you'd find out if you do that

[quaint helm]

sounds fun

but words form oleg aint trustable

[snow rover]

you are playing sound while trying to measure, right?

if you aren't playing anything there obviously isn't going to be a voltage

[civic cloud]

Yeah I put on a 50 and 60Hz test sound

[lost fossil]

but is it loud tho

[civic cloud]

so loud that I can hear the bzzzzz sound of the speakers

will buying a different cable make a difference? Perhaps a shorter one with less impedance

[snow rover]

no

[civic cloud]

Heck

What's the chance it will work with a Y Splitter

[snow rover]

high

actually can't you just do rca straight from your pc to at least test it

wait do motherboards even have rca

[civic cloud]

I can offer a 3.5mm jack and optical

[civic cloud]

Really? I'll just buy a new cable then

[snow rover]

i'm using these

dummy expensive but they work

[civic cloud]

I gotta be honest, it's going to be the 7€ cable from amazon

https://www.nubert.de/nucable-y-adapter-6/a038062

or this for 10+5 shipping

ugh this is annoying

Alright, delivery tomorrow, thanks for the help 🤝

[snow rover]

how are the speakers even hooked up

[civic cloud]

Optical to motherboard

They are active

[snow rover]

oh but they also have a dac

i was thinking you get analog signal from pc to both the speakers and sub

[civic cloud]

They should have that, considering you can plug HDMI in

Wait

there

I could switch 3.5mm jack from pc to speakers and sub, but then I can't use Bluetooth for both

[chrome mirage]

Intel 12th gen + RTX 3060
or
Intel 13th gen + RTX 2050 ?

[snow rover]

the former

[chrome mirage]

what?

you mean 12th gen + 3060 ?

[snow rover]

of course

[thin turtle]

Buy intel 14th and 5090

[uneven heron]

Hey guys I'm considering buying a used gaming laptop off eBay or somewhere similar. I don't need anything top of the range, just a semi decent integrated graphics card. What's a reasonable price range? I'm looking to spend between £200-£300

[chrome mirage]

[thin turtle]

[twin badger]

300 pounds? That's a slim budget

[uneven heron]

Is it really?

[twin badger]

Yeah...

I'd try snagging a 2060 laptop

[uneven heron]

So what's the minimum amount?

[twin badger]

but... at 300 pounds..
