And trying to build your own atm while staying close to MSRP is like winning the lottery
Yeah, with ibuypower, originpc, PC Specialist, and Chillblast, you actually get what you pay for.
Actually, I just built my brother a PC at MSRP without a new GPU
RN it's just the GPUs that are fucking overpriced.
Nope, CPUs are overpriced to high heaven here as well (UK).
At the very least the high-end ones, same situation as the GPUs basically (like GT 1030s and GT 710s are fine, but pretty much anything above that and you're getting scalped out the wazoo)
Ah gotcha, here in the US it's not that costly. I actually spent $220 on a Ryzen 5 3600
Ryzen 5-3400G APUs... currently going for about £600 where it's in stock... normal MSRP is ~£160
MSRP is (or was) $199
Ryzen 9-5900X CPUs... currently going for about £800 where they're in stock, normal MSRP is about £350
Yeah... high-end cpus have almost doubled in price where i'm at
but midrange hasn't increased in price very much
Yeah, the Ryzen 5 CPUs (not APUs) seem to be fine
APUs seem to be skyrocketing in price though, mainly because the GPU market is cancer.
but yeah, CPUs have been affected too. Just not to the same level as GPUs
And I'm pessimistic, I think these scalped prices are going to be the new normal.
As in, once everything settles down and the manufacturers know we'll pay those prices, they'll set those scalped prices as the MSRP
yeah, that sucks
and then obviously the scalpers will scalp them and double the price over again, and the manufacturers will see that we pay that price and set those as the new MSRP, and so the cycle will continue ad infinitum until PCs become a thing for the uber rich only
So say an RTX 5050... would be priced at like £25'000 MSRP
People will eventually just... not buy any new tech.
The uber rich will, but that's it
Nah, I'm not convinced that's gonna happen
Should I overclock the 3060ti?
Omg
Skipper said to come here
You already got the answer tho
well then
Pepega
no point to tbh due to gpu boost
maybe overclock the memory
aaaa
i cant figure out how to crop an mp3 file
fuck this
i just cropped down the mp4s and converted them to mp3s
bruh
i need to fucking convert it into .wav
fuck windows
I GOT IT BABY
Audacity?
i did it all for this
i spent an hour trying to fix modern warfare
just to change the sound of a usb connecting/disconnecting
all i had to do was turn of rivatuner
rivatuner has overclocking capabilities too?
RivaTuner is a freeware overclocking and hardware monitoring program that was first developed by Alexey Nicolaychuk in 1997 for the Nvidia video cards.
yeah its only for overlay
its bundled with afterburner
cheese
using an old tablet as a third display
I wish I could use sidecar on my mac so I could use my ipad as a second display but it requires catalina 
@lilac heath
U face any lags?
nop
you running a crypto miner? My antivirus detects a similar PUP because of my ETH miner.
no
i turned on my pc n
winrmsrv asked for internet access
so i accidentally allowed
Anyone willing to check out a future project I plan on expanding on over the summer
ok, someone has installed malware that uses your computer resources to mine crypto for them
windows 
😦
firewall said its by windows
Probably a fake sig
hmm
But it doesn't require internet access
Try to remove the virus ofc
Well, try running a scan, malwarebytes or a similar antivirus program.
Or reset ur pc
mm yes In System32
ok going to download mb
uh @arctic yarrow cant i just goto firewall and deny internet access ?
you could try that too yeah, but the program would most likely run in the background trying to mine and consuming resources.
possibly, but I'd wait for the scan results.
Just wait until it starts scanning the file system.
thats what its doing rn
oh
PUPs or malware?
buncha trojans, damn
Tbh I’d just reinstall windows
Woah there satan
Virus scare me
Windows reinstalls should only happen in the case of changing to a lower capacity SSD or multiple BSODs
IMO
Dude, remove everything you don't recognise.
well i havent explored win files as such
but ill see
lemme restore defaults too

no results

lemme double check, I can't trust my intuition rn, being drunk af atm
lol
NP
nah, imo you really should conisder this option if you happen to get infected by something
it wasnt really infected
Wouldn't hurt to do an "sfc /scannow" on a cmd prompt, and maybe a "chkdsk /r" as well.
a hitman pro scan wouldn't hurt either
I just reinstall windows like a monster just to be safe
you should do a kaspersky scan as well
to be safe
and maybe hitmanpro
have you restarted the pc since then scan?
there might be some other malware that comes when you restart it
i havent restarted it
Currently on my call with my co-worker, we're talking about gaming PCs. 
How about if you get infected, buying an entirely new PC. Since there are some viruses that run at BIOS level so even reinstalling Windows wouldn't get rid of the virus (yes, they exist)
same for me. My dad needed a laptop for work. But my God. ThinkSeries is so expensive. So I just bought/recommended him to go for Lenovo Legion 
does the company provide with money ?
no my dad was working as freelancer during that time
not gonna be viable for 3000 series.
3000 series gonna need an 8x link speed to reach full speed.
dude
that's not what that motherboard made for
people mining with SSDs now in china
Ah yeah, chia.
Chia coin
A coin thats not even gonna have value till may.
China playing WSB style bet on cryptos as usual.
I check their site and I see no goal?
What is the point of Chia? Filecoin at least wanted to be an uncensored archive of all knowledge that can be recorded
Chia has no purpose though, just a "because we can" currency? "improve global payments systems" is a goal EVERY currency lists, but that's it?
is an intel i3 10th gen still good for gaming
how much
well, its in a prebuilt
what prebuilt
10100 is fine for gaming but 4 cores is really starting to show their age
ok
if you can id save up for something much better
when the gpu shortage is over
whenever this shit is over you could build a rig that will be probably 3-4x better than that for around 1000-1200 bucks
ok tysm

What are your thoughts on this? (Warning, this site has a super cluttered layout) https://decrypt.co/69205/cardano-developer-iohk-strikes-partnership-with-ethiopian-government
Any pc wizards that can help
I sent this in a diff server so that’s why it’s an image
Does your PC have a wifi adapter?
Do you mean the drive
Bc it says switch adapters and stuff
Wifi worked a year ago and nothing broke in the past year
@rotund meadow use your phone
connect it to wifi then plug it to pc by it's cable
I can’t plug into cable
My pc used to be here with a desk and now my bed is there. Ethernet is behind my bed
u dont have a phone charging cable?
Oh you’re talking about phone
yes
I do
I mean I have the apple cable that is this
It’s usb c connected to lightning I think
lighting to type C
check if u have a type C port in the back of your mobo
or search for an old cable that has USB
Ethernet will always be the best
My router is in another room 
What is better? 1440p Resolution and 120 Hz or 4K UHD Resolution and 60 Hz
Depends
Oh ok, thank you
Xbox won't play at 4K
Even Xbox one S?
It's the same thing
Oh right
Is it a TV or a monitor you're getting?
There is no need to upgrade
Oh sorry, no that’s not the question I was asking
If you had an Xbox Series X then it would've made more sense
I meant to say what display option should I set for my Xbox one s?
Should I use the first option or second option ?
Ohh
I have a 4K tv so Idk which is better
The Xbox One S is capped at 60fps so keep at 4K 60hz
Yeah Xbox one s will default to 1080 and sometimes even run at 720
just baught gta on rockstar games and it says play on epic?
What happened now?
so i just discovered this
windows 10 moment
dude id just reinstall windows at that point

ill reinstall updoot
Never had an issue
nvm
Like that
why is your solutions always to reinstall
lmfao
Always work, and you dont need new keys (from so much reinstall, Microsoft just invalidate your key) if you have a less legal way to activate it (or live with the activate windows watermark)

You forget about the watermark but you can't change any settings anymore
Which sucks
You'll have the default Windows 10 background
Clone a drive from someone with a activated windows it should stay that way idk
Major hardware changes invalidate the key, dont they?
On OEM yes
OEM keys are tied to your board
while retail keys are tied to your Microsoft Account after you link it
bruh
tbh i just reinstall since i dont have a lot of stuff on my os drive and it basically guarantees nothing bad on the drive
my relationship with tkinter is over, pyqt is now my friend
like seriously, tkinter is giving me crap, PhotoImage is not working as intended, it sometimes complains path doesn't exists and sometimes it doesn't (unchanged code) which really confuses me, and sometimes it doesn't show images even though I keep references of them as recommended
bye tkinter, straight to the bin
..
O have a question my freind has a dell g15 laptop and i have a msi gf63 hus laptop is silent while mine is loud when we play the same game
My laptob has a 10th gen i7 his is an 8th gen i7
What GPUs do you and him have?
Not sure let me check
I have a gtx 1650 max Q acourding to the msi website ima message him and see what he has
Its likely your CPU and GPU together just output more heat than his, or your laptop's fan curve is set differently
The GF63 also has a few cooling complaints so it might just be something MSI messed up on too
the for all mankind season 2 trailer with gangsta's paradise
Ok well its not an issue just curious
well, False ** False is more like zero to the power of zero, it's not defined, but in python it returns 1, and 1 in python is considered True in flow control
well, True by the Power of False is more like one to the power of zero, while false ** true is more like zero to the power of one
just... don't do arithmetic operations on bools, not a good idea, makes code a lot less clear
Thanks.
My understanding is False is converted to integer 0, and 0**0 is integer 1, which is True in boolean.
Logic can be weird :P

"what should i use to clean around HIGHLY SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS?"
"hm, acid"

Acid, yum

I have to wonder what concentration of hcl was used
But even then who the fuck would use THAT as a cleaning agent?
New windows install. Uses edge to download chrome. Download blocked because it's an exe file. Not allowing me to workaround.
Gonna use chrome to download chrome and throw the exe on a flash drive, then run the exe.
Problem is, I can't do it remotely
o wait I can
edge blocks exe downloads and doesn't let you allow? wat
Ya, edge is a fucking nanny
use curl to download it
I just downloaded the setup exe on my computer, then transferred the file via AnyDesk.
wait... anydesk install is an exe also, but edge didn't block it
it only blocked the chrome installer

I've turned to the dark side in an effort to get a gpu at a reasonable price.
which one do you even want
send me that bot btw 😳
@brave field Do you know how i can install an older version of windows without it cleaning out my entire pc?
windows 10 version 1809
Yes
get the iso for that version
use rufus to put it on a drive
To have it not wipe your current install, use another partition on any drive and things should work out as long as you don't physically remove whichever ends up with the bootloader later on
ah
i cant select the option when i run the setup
If you install all your apps to the C drive and keep files on the C drive, there's not much you can do
some apps will work fine when copied to another drive but others won't
hmm
this is something that has to be planned ahead for though, you have to install your apps to another partition from the start and windows won't clear it then
welp nvm then
its still about that warzone spoofer, it crashes my game and the dude keeps saying its not working with my current windows
You can try the upgrade option from within windows (load the iso on the usb, there should be a setup.exe in there), it might preserve something
Think im just gonna leave warzone alone untill my old spoofer comes back, this one is too much trouble
Anyone know how you can make a Table of Contents like this in Word? (two pages per topic)
@me because 😴
@strong saffron my time has come
basically you have to use a style which are these things:
You can always change their font and stuff of course to fit whatever project you're working btw
But once you're done you can then head over to the references tab and go to the table of contents option
but you can see here that the toc is based on the style you used
it also doesnt matter when you add the table, you can always update as you create more headers
microsoft don't want you to download chrome lmao
You can just type "browser" and this will come up:
The new Microsoft Edge is here
The new Microsoft Edge is powered by the same open source technology as Google Chrome, providing best in class web and extension compatibility.
Open source but still depends on Google’s services 
Kindles and Nooks have a softer screen than normal tablets, right?
I want to get a dedicated e-reader, tablets have been too hard on my eyes 
have you considered the paperwhite?
really any e-ink display should be perfect for an e-reader but I personally have a kindle touch
What's the difference between a paperwhite and the normal kindle?
paperwhites have the e-ink display, normal kindles are basically android tablets
if you're talking about the kindle fire tablets yeah there's nothign special about them, other than their own version of android called "fireos"
I've got a fire 7 myself and it's pretty bad ngl so I gave it to my sister
I found a seventh gen paperwhite for $60. I'll give that a try.
what is that?
A gpu buying bot.
cool! wanna show me how to use it? i want a gpu too
i have no clue how to use it but ill try over weekend
im more into hardware and actually building pcs over dealing with software/code
i can probably run it on this spare dell i have

I'm the complete opposite, I can deal with software and a little bit of code, but I'm no good with hardware other than the basics
All I want for my bday is a 3060 at MSRP.
Well, I guess I'm not getting that bday gift, at least not on time.
You sould wish for people to start manufacturing silicon chips again so everything can go back to normal 
How do I get it to display two pages per topic? (Like in the picture I posted, it has a question page and an answer page for a topic)
Basically, if I have a heading called 'HelloThere' I need to have it again later in the document and have the ToC show it in the same line
Maybe use separate styles for each?
I think if you do that you'll be able to have separate tables
Hmm I'll see what happens. Thanks 
lol
hmm... do I wait for the 5000G series of processors, or just get myself a 3400G now?
you can find some of the oem 4000 apus on ebay/aliexpress
which are zen 2 based but i dont know much more about them than that
I don't want to get any APUs from eBay/AliExpress, I don't trust tech from those sites
Just there's a brick and mortar store not too far from me (about 3 hours by bus, but I have free bus travel) that has an OEM 3400G in stock with the Wraith cooler (the non-RGB one though). Was thinking of picking it up and then getting an X570-I Strix motherboard
I am new at coding do you know how to make a chat bot that replies to different things
Do you know any programming languages?
Python
Discord.py is the library you want https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
The introduction/quickstart is very helpful
Thank you
Its okay. Not the best but it'll definitely run the majority of games at 60fps on some settings
really should target something GTX 1060-level or higher for 1080p
and if this is the same PC from yesterday, its price needs to go down a bit
In that budget range, not now.
I know I only set up my gpu buying bot to only buy one graphics card, but I still feel like a slimy bastard for using it.
Don't feel that way about it
loads of people do it and its the best alternative to no-lifing stock notifications
I guess the people who use them to buy all the stock and resell them are the real bastards.
Is Lester a discord bot or exclusive not?
I want to know how does .topic command work tho
I suppose buying all the stock and reselling to people on reddit for MSRP would be chaotic good?
not really
You're putting in a lot of work and getting nothing out of it
and reddit users specifically are being the worst about the GPU situation right now
anti-mining copypastas, not doing research, complaining without attempting to use stock notifs or a bot, turning loads of subreddits into rage pits, artificial stock limiting conspiracies, trying to push off COVID as part of these theories, being entitled
1050 ti is not a great value imo
I wouldn't, really. IMO you're better off putting them up on ebay as auctions (starting a bit below MSRP) than feeding into something so toxic
I mean, if you can find one dirt cheap you might be able to get by with it, but at current prices F U C K N O
Can HDMI 2.0 run 240hz 1080p?
2.0 can run 1080p240hz, yeah (r: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Refresh_frequency_limits_for_standard_video)
I'm planning to buy LG 27GN750
I have Acer Predator (1060 with i5-8300h)
I might buy a new 30 series laptop
Is it worth?
Really depends on if you're currently limited by your CPU or your GPU in the games you play
30 series will be pointless if you want to hit 240hz but are CPU-limited, which is very likely at 1080p
What if I'm limited by both?
then in the context of a laptop, do upgrade to the 30 series one, but make sure it has a significantly better CPU than an 8300h, probably going to be very expensive, and even then, 11th gen is hugely better for games than 8th.
What are the chances of winning a newegg shuffle?
really low
basically it
ive won once
and ive entered for every single one
all it was was a 5800x anyway 
Kinda fucked up that I have to basically enter a lottery to have a chance to buy a product.
yep
aww well, I have a gpu bot running for amazon listings and I'm constantly signing up for newegg shuffles. I'll get a 3060 eventually
On an unrelated note, I've almost broke $2000 profit on my crypto portfolio.
And I only started doing crypto a little more than a month.
Don't use coinbase
they tax you for even transferring coins to another coin / token
I prefer Binance.
Well, my strategy is just buy and hold when using coinbase, and I use etoro for active trading.
I am curious though, should I stake my ethereum on eth2 or leave it alone?
Also, I've heard a few things about eip 1559, how it will change the way ethereum fees are managed, as well as potentially cause the value to increase. Should I take any action in preparation or should I just hold?
question, why are you using coinbase. I'd understand if you are from the us because you already get taxed to fuck but it makes no sense if you're from anywhere else.
I'm in the taxed to fuck crowd.
ah. rip. I'd advise learning to vpn out to canada and trade using binance.
if they catch you... you have 14 days to move your assets elsewhere.
IRS don't fuck around though.
But you don't get taxed to fuck and it's saved my friend a fair bit.
It's all digital.. you gotta know what you're doing.
Besides, the fees aren't terrible if i'm buying and holding, and I use etoro for active trading.
8%-10% fees are terrible
I get 2% if that
at most i get £1.50 on withdraws or i can take a 1.5% fee
which if its less or more i'd go either way
I pay around 3% when buying, and I'm planning on holding long-term.
https://binance.us is also a thing
Trade over 40 cryptocurrencies and enjoy the lowest trading fees in America, from your laptop, tablet, or mobile device.
bruh i don't pay anything when it comes to buying lol
eek
binance.com is wayy better than coinbase
or any other platform you'll find if you are taking this seriously
also their api is beautiful
I love it
I have a bot that pulls all chart data from the start of the coin/tokens life to current date to the minute.
exports into a .csv file
drop it into google docs or something else and boom you got a nice little chart, you can also give bots that info
and make it auto trade
which is what i am currently working on
I just double-checked how much I spent on fees on coinbase when I bought, and it was only 1.5%
thats every time
Every time I buy, I know.
what about when you transfer from lets say ETH to BTC
does the fee still stay at 1.5%
on binance i don't believe there is a fee for such a thing
it's 1.5% every time I buy over $500.
Yup, but I'm not doing a long-term stake in BTC because I think BTC will hit its all time peak soon.
I'm buying ETH and holding for long term.
ETH is what I'm actively mining and trading rn
But a good thing to look for is when BTC goes up everything else tends to do the same
same when BTC goes down
At my current rate of deposits, if I buy and hold ETH until at least 2025 I'll have enough money to drop a decent down payment on a house, and only have to pay around 20% capital gains tax.
10% to the feds, 10% to the state.
I wish you good luck with that. The way you're doing it can be very much refined for a lot more profit but you do you :p
I'm doing some active trading on the side as well, but my coinbase account is basically being used as an extremely high interest savings account.
Hmm, is etoro bad in your opinion?
never used it so cannot give you an opinion.
Is that the platform
where others trade for you?
Then your account mimics the other people and buys when they buy
sells when they sell etc
Yes, I dropped $500 into one crypto trader, and am using another $500 for my own attempts.
So far I've been trying to time the weekly and monthly drops.
It's a shit way to do it but if it works then i guess keep it going. I'd rather program my own bots with python and make it auto trade using https://uk.tradingview.com signals.
all it does is send webhooks to a bot
the bot is like oh cool a new web hook is that buy or sell
oh its buy? okay buy X amount
typically a percentage of current capital
I'm not a confident enough programmer to do that yet. I've only had experience with very basic python.
Honestly it's easy af
It'll take you a week or so looking into it
to make it
start off with a small amount and just make it auto trade for you
learn it
if you are holding for 4 more years
Right now, the extent of my experience is fucking around with function parameters and making functions interact with each other.
auto trading the entire time will maximise your profit
don't really need functions for this to work. there is other ways if you dont wanna program yourself
Another reason why I haven't fully jumped into short-term trading as much is because I want to make damn sure what I'm doing before the feds fuck me sideways with short-term capital gains tax.
Long term (think holding for a year) isn't as brutal
Yeah.... at current market prices that's pretty tough.
How? it's already botted to fuck find someone to bot one for you
they charge like 5% ontop of normal prices
What I'd like to do right now is fuck around with trading a low amount so I don't get raked, get a feel for the dips and bounces, then I'll seriously look at programming a bot to do it for me.
its really simple to get gpus just takes time
considering you are in it for 4 years
you got time
I've already downloaded fairgame and have it running on my home server to try to get a 3060.
Okay, do you run servers?
I just have a home server.
I'd have like 50 instances of these guys going at once with different IP's all trying to buy it at once
Think plex, minecraft, valheim, etc
10 tb
Nice did you go with seagate?
I think it's a hitachi, but lemme double-check
nm, it's only 8 tb, lemme check the brand real quick.
HGST
not bad
rpm?
or do you only have 1 drive
raid 0?
I tend to try go at least raid 1 if possible
I don't have it running raid atm, mainly because I don't have anything important on the server.
Just some movies, tv shows, and game server files.
And my game server files are automatically backed up to a SSD, so there's not much of a chance that I'll lose those.
Can I dm you a moment?
Sure
i3 and 8 gb ram is bad
gpu is good
but with that cpu and ram you wont get anywhere
what are you planning to play on it?
you'll probably get around 30-40 fps with low/mid settings
maybe less
Still ass imo.
At that price i can easily found a dell optiplex 7020/9020 with 4770 or 4790 with 8/16gb of ram, buy a new SSD, and still have enough spare for a 1650 super
hi guys how can i make this batch file choose ultimate performance by itself? all i can make it do is add that power plan
Type powercfg /L in cmd to find the Power Scheme GUID for the power plan you want. Then powercfg /S [GUID here] to switch to it
thank you it worked :D
Its super ubiquitous, seriously. I can find it in indonesia and knowing EU market, there's probably one in scandinavian area
Use ebay.
Here's one in UK
Those 2 you found are also used and refurbished at a markup
Its classic tactic of budget local "gaming pc" brand
Thats quite nice
Its kinda okay with how the market goes
Whats the rest of the system looks like?
Storage? RAM?
The one with 3770 and 1050 ti looks fine
It needs more ram tho
It allows u to run more background applications
Some games are already ram hungry
It's an easy future upgrade tho
The 3770 is a better cpu
Not much difference from 1050 ti and 1650
The I7 will run games a lot better, especially new games that require more threads
Storage is cheap asf you can upgrade whenever
As i said in terms of graphics card performance they are close so it doesn't matter
What about price?
How much ssd u get with the other
The 1050ti comes with 128gb
That's not bad
If you're ok with waiting 2 minutes for GTA to load
GTA doesn't care about HDD\ssd
It doesn't?
Even with the change
Even loading into story mode?
Yeah
Crap
I'm still running my game off a 2TB Seagate barracuda hdd
20$ huh
A 120gb ssd is around 30$
Maybe less
Anyway, do they offer the system with some changes like adding more ram for you?
Check local prices for the ram
Lil bit overpriced but getting matching ram and they install it for u is a good thing especially when you are new
It ranges from 43-50
It's not 45 for +8 ?
Then why u mentioned 85
Then get it from the site now
As u saw adding the ram now will save u a lot
Matching ram stick is important to make them work without issues
U can easily do that
I saw that u can replace the hard drive
Can u like remove the hdd and add more ssd
Like making it 500 ssd
Or maybe 240ssd with 500hdd
Ew
U want it or have to get it
Wireless is bad for online especially GTA
Use Ethernet cable
Cable can be 100 meters

Keep in mind u will get weak signal from wifi if the router is far
I can still connect to my router even when outside the apartment 
Still useful for when I don't have mobile data and someone is coming to pick me up
Yes but not for online gaming 
I won't be gaming outside my apartment 
U will waste 15
That can easily be fixed with a drill
The difference is day and night
Can't you get one of those Wifi extenders that look like routers and can be plugged in anywhere?
And connect your pc to it with a cable
These are bad as well
Less speed for more stability is still worth it
Only another option is the device that u plug it into the wall and it transmits the signal by electricity cables
Might cost a lot tho
What are those called? Never heard of them
Interesting
you can add multiple receiver too^
does anyone know how to fix this? [Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink 'C:\Users\Benjamin\AppData\Local\Temp\puppeteer_dev_chrome_profile-wxtID6\CrashpadMetrics-active.pma'] {

That’s what I have to live with till Fiber Optic is available in my city 
@brave field ya got a PC Part Picker Account?
My account is still borked, just made one like 2 days ago but i cant make custom parts or even use the forums
No account, sorry

actually, i wanna try
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/SorryClaire/ @brave field can ya see this user?
h u h
so it exists in their database
but i cant use it
at all
i suspected that i dont exist because i can make multiple acc with the problematic email
Weird question. Why does my discord status not say I’m on mobile when I’m literally on my phone?
Oh right never mind 🤣
Thought it would show that symbol from my end but it doesn’t. It was bugging me, thanks for sending that.
its a block, so it must be an andriod
No iPhone and iPad
Block ?
Ohh like the shape
Dk why it’s saying that, maybe because I was on iPad?
Ethereum just hit $3k today, what do you guys think are the chances it will hit $10k by the end of the year?
i know bro just made $$$
chances it'll hit 10k is kinda low but very possible
I feel like if a large correction doesn't take place, I'll be hitting a 75% ROI by next month.
So glad I dumped 2k into eth during the last correction.
I want to keep a little bit of fiat for surprise charges.
For instance, I just found out I need to pay car insurance this month.
You know you can make money if it goes down too right?
It's like right now while it's at it's peak
it's probably gonna crash
so if you borrow X amount of ETH
when the price drops
pay it back at like 2.5k
and you'll be left with 0.5k in your account
ofc only do that if you know what you're doing
hmm, where would I borrow ethereum at?
ah, so it's only available in the EU, right?
Or that general area I should say.
Fuck me, I'm talking about crypto when I should be studying for my finals tomorrow.
My boi did it. It broke 3100
Is there an easy way to control a normal 4pin RGB strip (R, G, B, 12v+ pins) with a Raspberry Pi? I'm reading all sorts of stuff about Ohms and resistors and needing to have some step-up converter since the color pins also require 12v?

On my mb I have a Corsair slot for some reason when it’s an msi board, if I wanted to use Iclue to control the rgb, when my fans are argb connectors how would that work?
I think my mb is B450 max wifi carbon
Msi
I haven't used anything related to Corsair's custom connector they list in the Gaming Pro Carbon Max's description
You should be able to use the normal ARGB connector on the board with Mystic Light, I don't know if iCue will control something connected to that
Mystic light sucks ass lmao
Maybe the Support->Downloads on their website is a custom version of Mystic Light/iCue made specifically for these sorts of boards that have both?
also yes, good RGB software doesn't exist, and its unfortunate
Iclue is my personal favourite for rgb control
The problem with mystic light is that they lack like user preference or color wheels to choose colors
I like using Razer Chroma for my RGB.
Also, RGB SSD covers, how badly do they affect thermals?
for 2.5" SSDs or the smaller form factors?
I'd be surprised if it did anything for the 2.5"
2.5"
https://www.coldzero.eu/rgb-ssd-covers/ I found these, so was looking into them since I can't get a 2.5" SSD with RGB built in with side mounting holes (only on the rear of the SSD)
Custom made High Quality RGB Ssd Covers for your drives. Will make your rig that much better. Get yours today
I wouldn't worry about it really
There aren't designated cooling holes on 2.5" and internally most of them don't even have heatsinks at all
they run pretty cool, under 10W of power use
so how come the HyperX Fury RGB SSD has major overheating problems with its RGB?
Al the power and circuitry for the lighting is inside the case, touching up on the NAND
Ah, so as long as the circuitry is outside the case, it's going to make little to no difference?
and weirdly, Teamgroup's RGB one seems to not have the same cooling problems
That's what I'm thinking but I have no experience
yeah, I had looked at Teamgroup, but only rear mounting holes 😦
not sure how I'd mount those in my case as a result, as the mounting points on the case itself are for the side only
might be a DIY alternative you can try
That's where the SSDs will mount to the case
Hopefully they'll fit on with the covers on 😦
double sided tape
The issue could be clearance, they're pretty close to the edge of the case.

Could someone help me with a ram issue i encountered?
I wanted to extend my latop ram with another ddr4 2400mhz 8gb stick. Both sticks alone run at 2400mhz but in dual channel they only run at 2133mhz
Now my question is, if If i buy the same stick twice, if theyd run at 2400mhz in dual channel
that would be the stick
Some ppl say enable xmp but the bios cant do that
Generally you wanna buy 2 matching stick on sodimm iirc, but it can be a memory controller limitation, what laptop it is?
Are you able to manually set the frequency, latency, and timings? It might be worth manually setting 2400mhz and then slowly inching CL down until you've found the limit on stability, and then run a memtest
@brave field Is efficiency loss of going from 80+ gold to 80+ bronze worth it if you can run at a lower load percentage?
Don't know, though the difference between 80+ plat and none at all should be just a few pennies yearly on your average system
@kindred temple If you're able to find some sort of johnnyGuru archive, it 100% will be super wel-documented in there
So i think i just miscalculate and make it out to be 20$ a year on 50% load

oh my
seguhjsedbvo;.usnbojsrjnhbo;iahjboi;hbo;aehvo;ah
cant find
just kill me
mk
this fucker personally attacked me and basically ate PSU marketing material and i wanna give him actual lesson @brave field
not you
but in other serv
So next month I'm planning to get a new headset
Bluetooth one, to use with my phone
damn
theres some fucker in the server sending emojis that trigger my AV
making it sign out of my discord
Is Dyno Bot down for you guys too?
I do not belong in this chat
I think Corsair virtuoso works with phone cause it’s Bluetooth but that headset is pretty good
Don’t get the SE version cause it’s bad
I tend to avoid Corsair. I'm pretty sure which one I'm getting and aesthetics do play a decent part in it too.
Their sound quality has not failed me yet
And the iclue software is good
I use Corsair for keyboard mouse and headset
Nothing has died yet
I use Razer Synapse not iCUE
Nice
And my Razer products have lasted me well too. Though my PC headset is Steelseries (connected to a MixAmp Pro)
The thing about RAZER is I’ve heard it to have fuck ups when it comes to support team
Whether that is true or not, idk
It is true, their support is hit and miss
but I use a Razer keeb, keypad, mouse, mousemat, headphone stand, USB wireless headset (though I prefer wired usually, I only got this Razer headset because of the haptic feedback on it), and speakers
Nice
I wanted to get one of those left charging mouse pads and a mouse
I am not sure what it’s called but like while the mouse is on the pad it self charges
With Razer, it's called HyperFlux
Logitech has their own name for them too, and I think there's a couple of other gaming brands too
Yes why not making an off site backup then
Mine keeps deleted and modified files for a month then delete them permanently

userbench video uh oh

@frosty vortex how much storage are we talking about here?
Nah i rather throw an old system in our place in the states for off site storage
They charge for download and totall capacity.
Wow, I decided to pop into user benchmark to take a look at their review for the 11900k, and, no joke, it looks like North Korea propaganda.
"Little effort is made to counter widespread disinformation such as: “it uses too much electricity” or the classic: “it needs more cores”." [...]"At every release, AMD’s marketers coordinate narratives to ensure another feast of blue blubber. "
The reviews for multiple 11th gen CPUs have this paragraph-long "AMD is brainwashing you" section, wow
Its just so bad, especially now when it would've been valid to say "Its in stock at decent prices, unlike the competition"
I mean, yeah, AMD cpus seem to be selling like hotcakes, so it IS valid to say you're more likely to get an Intel CPU RN.
Entered into the newegg shuffle for a 3060, wish me luck
I ain't returning it if it functions, but I believe I can RMA if it doesn't function
I only care if it works rn so my brother can game on something better than an old 8400gs.
Besides, I can make use of the PSU or RAM that comes with it.
Yeah, it's the most recent card I have on hand that works.
In hindsight I shoulda hooked him up with a ryzen APU instead of a 3600
At the very least he's doing ok playing Guild Wars.
dont really care about it being 100% running cus it's a back-up of a back-up of a back-up
Would anyone be able to give me an insight on laptop cooling pads and whether I should cop one for 20 bucks or not 
send a pic
it looks good
if you dont like it you can just return it
and its not that expensive either
Yeah
I wanna drop the temps of my laptop but I can't seem to find a program that can let me undervolt
I also don't want to go inside of the laptop and applying some thermal paste
What cpu does it have
intel or amd
AMD
I have tried using the AMD app thing a while back for throttlestop or whatever it was but CPU wasn't supported so I couldn't access it 
oh
yeah I have no clue then
I undervolted my 10700k the farthest down it will go on intel xtu
Yeah I can't seem to find any programs that support my laptop and can't try to undervolt 
My laptop is still gonna be hot af since I use it all day, every day
But cooling pad can provide me some cooling alongside lights and an incline 
The strimer cables are so hard to find
I just won a newegg shuffle for a 3060.
congrats
Givin the middle finger to scalpers while I check-out.
$3.4k ETH 👀
No shit, my protfolio jumped by $1500 over the past couple days.
Eth is going fucking ham.
Hunting for ARGB hubs now... need one that can be plugged into the ARGB header of the motherboard (so the motherboard can control it), with 5 ARGB ports for connecting devices
Reason being is I have 5 devices to connect:
SSD covers x3
Case
A third CPU fan on the cooler (likely an intake, with one Noctua fan being exhaust and the other being a mid-lane push)
We all have to start somewhere, welcome!
Teach me ur ways
Well, what kinda tech do you like?
I mean, you gotta like tech to start on the path of being smart with tech.
I need to learn C# 😦
Hype! Newegg shuffle, I managed to get a 3060 at MSRP
congrats
you order it already because ive heard stories about winning and not getting it
You got lucky on best buy
yep
Nice my guy
its the founders model though so it runs loud and hot
planning a custom loop during the summer when i have the money
Nice

I should be able to use any old PCIe wifi card in a Dell Optiplex 7020, right?
should work
Finally got a new (used) setup for my mom ordered. Come to find out her monitor doesn't have display port so I'm stuck connecting via VGA (no HDMI on computer).
Am I right in assuming that a DP to HDMI out adapter will still pass through audio?
Also, she just wants something that boots and loads quick(er) than her ancient HDD. Will a SSD with DRAM increase boot times or am I fine with the cache-less SSD I ordered?
Eh, cancelled the cheap Kingston and got an Adata SU800 instead.
pretty sure since dp also carries audio
I went to other discord server and someone made a modded DOS 7.1 that can run on Modern PC with settings akin to FreeDOS called "Ultimate DOS 7.1".
is rx 470 good graphics card?
depends on which games you want to play :p
Fivem rp servers with a little bit over 250 scripts
Should work
welp me
rtx 2060's are expensive now
how much fps tho? depends on cpu too ik
1080/60
And yes gta rp and online needs a decent cpu but in some servers even rtx 3090 cant get u 60fps
a friend who is building and trading pcs told me i5-2300 is as good as ryzen 5 2600
Lmao
That's just bullshit
I remember my old pc had i5 3450 and cpu was 100% all the time
Switched to ryzen 1600 and everything was better
Btw i5 2300 has like 4 cores and 4 threads
2600 has 6 cores and 12 threads
And they're running on better single core performance
i looked up on the internet and i read they can give it 66% rating and the games cpu can run are league and gta v..
well my virus and threat protection isnt starting
windows reinstall time?
i know alot for pc specs but i have no idea about rx graphic cards
no, not yet, not yet
I mean yeah it can run gta yeah but cpu usage will be 100% means stuttering and lag
And good luck running anything in background
ah, you have to restart the threat service from services.msc
turn it off and on again
doing it from that window does nothing
wait
It's no way close to ryzen 2600
thanks for the explanation
@brave field where threat service 
Windows Defender something something, under all those ones
should be the third one, I think
Windows Defender Antivirus Service, or WinDefend
antivirus service isnt there
Windows Defender is uninstalled 
i guess time to mess with regedit for the 3rd time
Or
no
reinstall
stop
Ok
Make your system reinstall-ready at least
just for the future, its easier to do things when you're not at risk of losing your files and having to reinstall your programs
ill try finding for the defender antivirus services .reg file online
lemme do a rootkit scan
That sounds like a bad idea 
interesting
so defender just removed itself and all of its services?
or perhaps this is new malware?
idts i havent downloaded anything malicious as such
all this is happening since the new update
@brave field Ive come to bargain!
I need help finding an object from the past. A dark era. I saw at one point a large touchscreen monitor, approaching 30+ inches at a receptionist desk, it was an all-in-one like apple does where everything is built into the monitor. It ran windows 8.
hmmmm
any brand names?
If none, that could really be any all-in-one system made by any company, or it could just be a wired display + digitizer with the actual computer components elsewhere. You can load Windows 8 on just about anything too, it likely could've been a Windows 7 all-in-one or a larger PoS system or something Linux-based with a theme, hard to say what specifically it was
So ever since starting to use my TV as a secondary display I'm having a bit of trouble maintaining my primary monitor setting. If I turn on my PC, the primary monitor consistently switches to my TV instead of my monitor, despite having the monitor specified as primary before shutting down. Any thoughts?
Whichever is closest to what is defined as port 0 gets its output first, regardless of software setting. If you have others, try moving the TV's cable to the other end of the GPU's ports (If the monitor's cable is the leftmost connected to your GPU, make the TV's cable the leftmost, or vice versa)
Just three outputs on the GPU. DP > HDMI > DVI. Will have to check if the TV has a DP port.
TV WITH dp ? LOL
Diana lets be bloody real, anything above 32 is a small TV
@brave field the CPU and GPU are working and the case is lit a blue light but the case fans aren't working and there isnt anything displayed
specs? This sounds like either a ram issue or a new CPU on a board with an older BIOS update
yeah post your specs
Core i3 10th generation
Gtx 1060
H410m s2h V2
8gb hyper X ram
Yep it's bec the Camera can't focus properly
Ddr4 hyper X fury
What are the solutions I can try
checking to see if your ram is correct type now
Ok
hm, all those should be compatible
the ram works with that board, the board doesn't need a BIOS update for that CPU
Ensure your 8/4+4 pin CPU power and your 8/6+2 GPU power aren't swapped and are fully plugged in
do you have enough power?
600 wat
damn, that's enough alright
