[stuck lichen]

can someone with a yeti help me out

[brave field]

What sort of help do you need?

[stuck lichen]

well i don’t know if mine is damaged @brave field

so i need to confirm it’s not

[junior flax]

Ye i got my pc for £350 locally which for the specs its good + it had a aio and fat ass fans

[brave field]

@stuck lichenHow are you looking to confirm it? You have a picture, or recording?

[stuck lichen]

picture

the pins look weird

[brave field]

I don't actually have a yeti but having that pic posted in the channel would make it easier for someone who does have one to answer if they're scrolling by

[stuck lichen]

well there it is

even if you don’t have one, do you think it could be damaged?

[brave field]

Possibly. Every pin of miniUSB is used, so if those outer two are truly missing, it would cause problems

[stuck lichen]

oh

if it is broken

should i get a new yeti?

cause they are….

pricey

i might be able to get it repaired

[brave field]

You could get a new port soldered on depending on how it is internally, yeah

[stuck lichen]

would that be alot

[brave field]

I'm seeing 10 pack miniUSB connectors for $2 on ebay. It would cost you more if you have to use someone else's soldering toolset or you get an official repair outside of warranty

The connectors are pretty small and they're difficult to solder on, but doable

[stuck lichen]

well i certainly am no solderer

and know no one with one

[brave field]

Do try to confirm with someone who owns one if they show up soon, but I'd look into inexpensive alternatives worth buying

If a light helps, check again if every hole has a pin in it, just to be sure

[stuck lichen]

i think it has 4

[fervent granite]

yeah soldering is hard :(

My first soldering job was replacing an old dsi's display, and I didn't know that you weren't supposed to use the tip when soldering

[pliant lynx]

vga is the stupidest things to solder

[jovial tide]

that's hot air soldering iron's job, not regular soldering irons

[kindred temple]

You can do SMD with regulars, but the success rate is about as high as the rate of English people being polite about football.

[jovial tide]

actually it is possible to solder SMDs with regular irons, but the rosin flux is a must

[pliant lynx]

hey im completed mine

you need tape too

[jovial tide]

I dont wanna look at it though, i can guess its terrible

[pliant lynx]

thank goodness my board is good for soldering

i dont think i have picture

[jovial tide]

what device is that?

[pliant lynx]

?

[jovial tide]

the one you working on

[pliant lynx]

just a timer

0-99 timer

[jovial tide]

inb4 NE555

[pliant lynx]

yes 555 chip

8 pin dogshit IC

[jovial tide]

noice, thats a very useful chip

[pliant lynx]

i did 16pin too i just tip and move

[lost fossil]

i soldered a microusb connector to a keyboard pcb and had to reinforce it with pieces of an eraser sandwiched between the pcb and the case of the keyboard

tells you how shitty that soldering job was

[brave field]

Small components coming in 5-10 packs is the best

Helps when I end up melting and deforming 3 of them

[blazing sundial]

why is it that my computer is getting slower everyday even though i have overclocked it

[pliant lynx]

overheating

[jovial tide]

unfortunately around 80% of wholesale components which are sold on ebay or amazon are fake, especially power mosfets and some type of ICs

[cold elbow]

overclocking cant really make a difference if you're overheating, you'll still get down clocked to hell
so in order to help you we need more information
and also your credit card details.

[blazing sundial]

i have a debit card

and heat is no issue

i used to get around 57 fps at 1920*1080 high settings

now theres frame drops almost everytime

[jovial tide]

overclocking should be considered as a 'hobby' thing, not a permanent solution to your slow hardware

you just make it worse

[cold elbow]

frame drops are usually related to CPU or lack of ram

[blazing sundial]

i have enough ram
maybe the cpu is the problem

[cold elbow]

monitor it while playing using HWinfo

[blazing sundial]

but how come im losing my fps day by day

[cold elbow]

monitor every core activity and speed

and ofc temp

also VRM temp

[blazing sundial]

temperature never exceeds above 58 degrees

of cpu

[cold elbow]

what's the cpu and game and gpu

[blazing sundial]

whats vrm btw

[cold elbow]

VRM is the CPU power delivery... they're installed on the mobo next to the socket

[pliant lynx]

[blazing sundial]

ah
1050ti, i5 2400 and gta5 online

[cold elbow]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

gta on an old i5

[blazing sundial]

ik the bottleneck thing

its 3.1ghz base

[cold elbow]

u noticed these slowdowns during online

right

[blazing sundial]

i didnt understand its 3.4turbo oc

[blazing sundial]

yes

idk

i might just check the cpu clocks while playing ig

[cold elbow]

you pc is fine,,, cpu is kinda a bottleneck but it should be fine
the problem that gta wants strong single core performance, no matter how power your system is you will face drops while playing online

especially in crowded sessions and in the city

[blazing sundial]

oh

[cold elbow]

TL;dr it's the game's fault

[blazing sundial]

but usually like a month ago i got avg 57 fps no drops

i see

[cold elbow]

also reduce grass quality to the lowest which is "normal"

[blazing sundial]

do old cpu's have thermal throttling?

[cold elbow]

no yours is fine and idk how the heck you overclocked that

it cant be overclocked

[blazing sundial]

it just automatically oc's itself

[cold elbow]

that's turbo boost

[blazing sundial]

idk

[cold elbow]

all modern cpus has it

not OC

[blazing sundial]

never understood it

lol okay

[cold elbow]

also worth checking your ram speed

maybe you missed enabling XMP

[blazing sundial]

whats that

[cold elbow]

what's your ram speed that is written on it?

[blazing sundial]

i have two rams, each 1600mhz

ddr3

[cold elbow]

ok now go to task manger and then performance tab then click on memory

there read your ram speed

[blazing sundial]

it doesnt show there

[cold elbow]

fine use CPU-Z

[blazing sundial]

where do i read it

[cold elbow]

memory tab

[blazing sundial]

okay

it says...

[cold elbow]

multiply that by 2

[blazing sundial]

what

DRAM?

[cold elbow]

you are running 1330

not 1600

[blazing sundial]

lol what

[cold elbow]

this is your ram speed

switch to SPD tab

[cold elbow]

single stick or u have two

check the other slots

[blazing sundial]

yeah dimm

idk what do call it

"two rams"

[cold elbow]

dual channel

well here it says that your ram is 1330 not 1600

[blazing sundial]

Oh.

So...

Does it have anything to do with the Performance

[cold elbow]

nah you're running dual channel which is fine but

i noticed that you're running 8gb ram

sometimes that's not enough for the game

that explains why you used to have better performance, you have more background apps installed now and they're not leaving enough for the game

[blazing sundial]

Not really

I cleaned my pc once

And more ram is available

It's just the game which doesn't Fully utilize my gpu

[cold elbow]

it will never do

that's how gta works

u should not benchmark your system by gta

[blazing sundial]

So I get the conclusion that this game is not optimised for low end pcs

Only the rich get 60fps

Thanks

[brave field]

Game is not optimized for anything

[vapid grove]

But why
https://www.guru3d.com/news_story/dude_smuggles_256_core_i7_10700i9_10900k_processors_strapped_on_his_body.html

[vapid grove]

Must have really wanted to avoid the couple thousand in import taxes

Still, what a strange thing to try to smuggle through customs.

[jovial tide]

Any antivirus *

[jovial tide]

Step 1 you reinstall windows and get rid of all that bloatware lol

[cold elbow]

Bit defender is alright

[pliant lynx]

[jovial tide]

I've disabled win defender too

also win firewall since i use hardware firewall after router

These headphones seemed good

[hybrid ferry]

Its bad.

[junior flax]

Tell me why

Every review said its good

@hybrid ferry

Tell me why

@lost fossil

I saw u were talking lately so

@hushed lichen shut up

[lost fossil]

all i can say is that this guy up there with a toasted threadripper is bullshitting too hard

[kindred temple]

This is why you REALLY gotta do some research rather than amazon reviews.

They scalp the price to hell and they sound about as bad as Razer Kraken.

Shouldve gone to Cloud 2 but hey

I guess you gotta be a

And harass everyone in this chat

[junior flax]

Uhh what

I was pinging oleg over a steam scammer?

[kindred temple]

.

[junior flax]

Literally pinged oleg over a steam scammer?

[kindred temple]

:Hmmm:

[junior flax]

And i didnt even read amazon reviews

I looked at yt reviews

[junior flax]

I literally got the headset for £160 when other places was selling for £200+

🤨

[kindred temple]

Considering that you can get the better sounding cloud 2 for 50-60 pounds, no

Still bad value.

And, to really rub it in, at that price you can get the god sounding DT770 by Beyerdynamic https://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-Over-Ear-Headphones-professional-smartphones/dp/B008POFOHM

[junior flax]

I like how comfy the arctis is tho

I like the band

[kindred temple]

All headphones are uncomfy for me so sound is the priority

And DT is super comfy too

So does C2

[junior flax]

Comfort > sound

And i know these sound good

[vapid grove]

So many people disregard sound quality/accurate reproduction until they actually hear good headphones.

Gaming headsets 🚮
Quality headphones + external microphone :thumbsup:

[kindred temple]

I mean considering something like K669 doesnt sound like hot trash and costs like 30$

[cold elbow]

But it doesn't have the GAMER looks

Doesn't have fake 7.1 surround badge slapped to it

[fervent granite]

gamer looks 🤮

[supple walrus]

Ehhhhh

[junior flax]

Plus they sound good anyway from reviews

And my arctis 3's sounded good

[supple walrus]

I'd rather tough it out with a pair of mildly uncomfortable headphones that have amazing quality than ones that are padded as shit and sound like shit

[junior flax]

But it doesnt sound like shit

Lol

[supple walrus]

But it does

[kindred temple]

Golden case: Kraken

[junior flax]

Not 1 review has said arctis pro sounded like shit and my arctis 3's sounded good

[supple walrus]

Hell. Even bottom of the barrel HyperX Cloud Stinger is clearer sounding and more comfortable @kindred temple

[kindred temple]

Mhm

[supple walrus]

And light as fuck

[kindred temple]

Arctis lineup is poo all around, youre just having a massive episode of buyers remorse

[supple walrus]

Well they've obviously never experienced real sound quality then

[junior flax]

I am really not

Anyway, with no due respect, go fuck yourself ill enjoy my headphones

[cold elbow]

@junior flax check rting site

[hybrid ferry]

cuz its bad

[kindred temple]

Or not, considering Arctis lineup is all the same. https://youtu.be/5thXK91hAoI?t=684

Dankpods reviewed Arctis 5 a while back in an entertaining manner.

[frigid echo]

true! I love my AKG K7XX's and Fostex T50RP Mk3 planar's

[supple walrus]

I mean, don't mind me, just a regular basshead with Sony WH-1000XM3's

[frigid echo]

xD Those are some decent cans for sure. I know the DT-770's are Sub bass city which is amaze for some dynamics

[supple walrus]

Yeah

[frigid echo]

if I ever had to have a headset. I would get a pair of Phillips SHP 9500's or SHP 9600's and toss a V Moda boom mic on them and call it a day. Be better than anything else in the "Gaming" headset market for sure

[fervent granite]

I'd just use airpods

[slender trellis]

Microsoft killed a hidden registry hack that brings back old Win10 Desktop Start Menu on 11.

Do you think Classic Start Menu devs will bring these feature back?

[brave field]

If its not them, someone else will

[slender trellis]

This is the first casualty of me trying to upgrade to 11 for DirectStorage.

[brave field]

I wouldn't upgrade until there are actually things using it, unless you're a dev

Windows 11 seems to be a downgrade for consumer choice and privacy in every way

plus its bloat...

[urban wing]

win 11 bad 😥

[slender trellis]

They made it look like Mac OS to insult their rivalry probably because of Epic Lawsuit or something.

[brave field]

It looks closer to Deepin

macOS has a dock instead

[slender trellis]

That makes sense because 11 has a chance to either download or sideload apps from Android apks.

[brave field]

I wonder how that will work

I assume Android-x86 emulator using HAXM, but maybe this Intel acceleration is something newer

[blazing sundial]

why is it that my cpu clock speed drop not because of thermal throtlling but randomly

[fervent granite]

they wouldn't

I feel like the android emu is just a gimmick tbh though

[jovial tide]

I think this android thing win 11 claims will be a custom tailored opensource emulator like they expanded edge over chrome and chromium, but which emulator is yet to be seen

anyways, I wont upgrade to this os when its final version arrives, first cuz it doesn't support my hardware (which can be circumvented) , second because i don't like the privacy schemes MS is following in this os.

[fervent granite]

I won't upgrade until ltsc stops getting security updates which I think is in at least 10 years iirc

I don't really care about 11, I've only got 10 installed just in case I need to use windows-only programs

[jovial tide]

same here

[fervent granite]

my main os is macos though

[jovial tide]

macos aint innocent looking in its privacy schemes too, but still, atleast theres more clarity in comparison to ms

[fervent granite]

I mean apple already has my data since I use it with my iphone and apple watch, so it's not that bad

Besides they provide genuinely useful services to me, so I don't really care too much about the privacy aspect of it

[jovial tide]

please dont mix nietzsche with technology here

[cold elbow]

Windows keeps getting more bloatware with every update

So imagine what would they do with a new version of Windows

Some of the bloatware that we used to delete/disable will probably be merged in the OS core.

For example the xbox app

[jovial tide]

yea most probably

[fervent granite]

@past orchid Airdrop, iCloud, iTunes, time machine, native AirPod support, find my iPhone, iMessage/FaceTime, my music/movie purchases, Apple Pay (a big one), Apple Watch health data, etc.

Basically invaluable stuff to me

Oh and handoff, really handy for continuing stuff on my Mac from my iPhone

[cold elbow]

A fancy way of saying " I'm already stuck in the eco-system "

[fervent granite]

Pog ecosystem

But fr everyone loves playing that card, the other one I always hear is “walled garden”

[cold elbow]

Most of these features that u mentioned are available on other devices and most of the time better
For example Spotify...
And the entire world "except the united states" uses WhatsApp for messaging and voice/video calls

It's good to have everything well integrated into one ecosystem but you will always be limited to what that system offers.

[jovial tide]

https://thehackernews.com/2021/07/google-details-ios-chrome-ie-zero-day.html

dayum you chrome

it just never ends it seems

[kindred temple]

The thing is: Apple's demographic is not that expansive and most ecosystem app of Apple already provides for them.

The casual tech owner who just wanna communicate and do tech stuff

not tinker.

Also, apple health is way way better than existing deal, except for calorie control.

[fervent granite]

And sleep tracking

[kindred temple]

Nah, Google's are better.

[cold elbow]

i use a xiaomi 15$ smart band and it has most the thing i need for a smart wearable and last for more than a month with a single charge
it has most of the sensors like walking heart beats sleep tracking and oxygen

[fervent granite]

Apple’s sleep tracking is awful imo, it always gives me like 1-3 hours of standing time while I sleep

[silent mason]

Apple has its niche perfectly covered.

I'm not in that niche though. So I'm Windows and Android

[cold elbow]

The cheap band knows exactly when I sleep and wake up and how much deep and light sleep I had.

[fervent granite]

Congratulations?

[silent mason]

Oh I hope Fanalab has fixed stuff for me.

[kindred temple]

I mean, all things considered

Xiaomi really do want to build that ecosystem too.

[cold elbow]

Everyone wants to build their own eco system

[kindred temple]

Their phones, branches to TVs, headsets, smartbands, cameras

[silent mason]

Samsung is doing the same

[cold elbow]

Like Samsung and huawei

But on Android you cant be limited by an eco system

Hence imessage

[fervent granite]

I think Samsung is slacking though, they went with OneDrive in favour of their own cloud thing

[silent mason]

They partnered up with Microsoft as a middle finger to Google.

[fervent granite]

Ngl I think Google has the best shot

[silent mason]

To try and get more leverage.

[cold elbow]

Samsung is a terrible eco system imo

They never settle on something

[silent mason]

Only Samsung thing I have is the phone.

[cold elbow]

Worse than google

Same

[fervent granite]

never settle

[silent mason]

The Galaxy S20 FE 5G is a nice phone.

[kindred temple]

Their last provider was dropbox

[silent mason]

I mean sure it's no iPhone which most people say is the best thing since sliced bread, but I like it.

[cold elbow]

Not the Exynos variant

[fervent granite]

Tbh I don’t thank any Android ecosystems exist, they’re all pretty much reskins of Android

[kindred temple]

Its not their own.

[silent mason]

Samsung are wanting to swap to Tizen

[kindred temple]

Oneplus new slogan should just be a single word

"hypocrisy"

[silent mason]

But on phones they can't. Android is too entrenched.

[cold elbow]

Tizen is how Samsung fucked up with wearables

Now they are back to Android wear and bought fitbit

[silent mason]

I thought Google bought Fitbit?

[cold elbow]

Samsung was the first in wearables

[fervent granite]

"hypocrisy"
@kindred temple for real, I saw how they started out and thought they would continue the trend of “flagship specs for budget price”

[cold elbow]

Oh yes google

I remember my old Samsung gear watch was something so futuristic

[silent mason]

I know Google bought one. Think it was Fitbit

Actually wait was it Garmin that Google bought?

[cold elbow]

Samsung invest something then drops it
Apple perfect it
Then Samsung copies

[fervent granite]

Apple refrigerators

[silent mason]

The iFridge

[kindred temple]

You laugh John but apple fridge would be a big goldmine of data

[fervent granite]

[kindred temple]

Grocery is the big bastion of targeted advert.

[silent mason]

Which do you think we'll get first, the iFridge or the Pixel Fridge?

[kindred temple]

Depends on who wanna buy out kroger/publix first

I know walmart and target is out of reach for even google and apple

[fervent granite]

Would be ironic if LG fridges killed the smart fridge competition

[pliant lynx]

[blazing sundial]

How to force constant cpu speed

[kindred temple]

Why would you want that

Legit, why would you want that?

[blazing sundial]

Because my cpu keeps dropping speed for no reason

Even at 50°

And I lose most of my fps there

No thermal throttling

[jovial tide]

whats your cpu?

[blazing sundial]

I5-2400

3.1ghz base 3.4ghz turbo boost

[jovial tide]

don't expect much from intel gen 2 bro

[blazing sundial]

I don't but it's just getting worse

[jovial tide]

did you buy it second-handed?

[blazing sundial]

I don't think so

I directly purchased it from Amazon

[jovial tide]

when you bought it?

[blazing sundial]

Tho the box I got it in wasn't very promising

Bought it in 2019

December

[jovial tide]

Im not sure what you got was a brand new cpu

[blazing sundial]

Does that have anything to do with the clock speeds?

[jovial tide]

well, that cpu may way passed its standard lifetime by now

so instability is expected

[blazing sundial]

So that makes CPUs go under their base clock speeds?

Okay

[jovial tide]

did you also get any warranty when you bought it?

[blazing sundial]

Btw this is what I bought, also the reviews aren't very good https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00974KLX6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_0K0YHH202FGC2ZYKYHM3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[blazing sundial]

Well I just got a box which could be crushed by hands, also there were no paperwork. Just the cpu and Intel's stock cooler

And there were some wrong spellings on the box too

[jovial tide]

probably refurbished cpu

[kindred temple]

Used from amazon is always just bad experience. Either its a bad return, used up to high hell, or just straight up sending paperweights

[full hull]

Don’t buy hardware from amazon

[blazing sundial]

Oh

Okay

So where to buy pc parts from

[kindred temple]

Its okay to buy new, but their used and non amazon refurbs is ALWAYS red flag.

[full hull]

Are you in US?

[blazing sundial]

no

[kindred temple]

India

[full hull]

Even the new

Oh

[blazing sundial]

I gotta use vpn ig

[kindred temple]

Why, because you cant test them? Cool, so does other online store

[blazing sundial]

Also my Mobo has 3.1usb even though it doesn't support h61

That doesn't work anyways

[full hull]

Mate i got a lot of crap called new in amazon and I’m 100% it’s not

[full hull]

Actually you can test

At least last time I bought from them

[vapid grove]

Amazon is fine to buy components to from

If you have any doubts, return/exchange it

[jovial tide]

but not every reseller in there is fine

[vapid grove]

Well of course.

[jovial tide]

especially those who sell used hardware

they are all like semi-scams

[vapid grove]

That cant be blamed on Amazon. That's a seller issue. Same precautions need to be taken when buying on ebay or any other online market.

[jovial tide]

also some are so nasty that dont mention the part was used before

[vapid grove]

Cant just make a blanket statement saying "Amazon bad."

[jovial tide]

well thats right, one should not deduce it's amazons fault

[vapid grove]

I spend probably $5-6k a year on Amazon (most purchases admittedly arent PC components) and I can count on one hand how many issues I've had with the product itself.

[jovial tide]

buying brand new hardware is all fine

[vapid grove]

Ye

I try to stick to items fulfilled by Amazon

[jovial tide]

ye safest way

[vapid grove]

Or at least those with free prime 2 day

[blazing sundial]

can anyone recommend a good website to buy pc parts from

[vapid grove]

Pcpartpicker, set your region. Itll list the retailers that have the parts you're looking at.

[jovial tide]

I got my gpu and cpu from best buy but id do what like said and check pcpp

Can compare prices there

[brave field]

Steam Deck looks like it will kill sub-$700 laptops for people who don't mind having to use an onscreen keyboard

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, on top of that, it looks like the APU inside it outperforms the APU in the PS4 and XBone. The only potential issues I can see are battery life (duh) and possible issues with the Proton compatibility layer.

[brave field]

If Valve can support it, I honestly think it has potential to be the most successful hardware they've ever sold (outside of the Link + Controller becoming $5 at end of production)

The base model is fairly priced when compared to something like a Switch, you can install other OSes like Windows, the control options look decent (spacing is weird, though), its powerful on paper, the prototype reviews show okay-ish battery

I don't think it'll have that sort of appeal to the average person but it really looks like a nice product

[arctic yarrow]

My only question right now is... can you swap the NVME SSD on the midrange model or add one on the base model.

[blazing sundial]

Okay thanks

[kindred temple]

Its emmc

Definitely soldered

And 64 gig?

[brave field]

64gb is a big ouch but not the worst when you look at the competition

The people choosing to install Windows instead of keeping SteamOS will feel pain

[arctic yarrow]

I'm curious if the base model may have an NVME slot.

[arctic yarrow]

You can also add on an SD card (which admittedly isn't as good as emmc or nvme), and those can go up to 1tb in capacity.

[lost fossil]

would be cool if it had a 2230 m2 slot

there are 1tb 2230 drives

[fervent granite]

even with steamos I feel like people will still feel pain

but that's what I'm most excited about tbh, if steamos gets popular enough that'll mean more people will want to port over their games to linux

[kindred temple]

I just want Epic to finally drop their swear to not port EAC to Linux

[jovial tide]

MS is the godfather in gaming world who pulls all the strings (software, hardware), i guess if the puppets betray him there will be punishments due and also theres no money in opensource to satisfy their greedy ass

[jovial tide]

well, considering his specific case, which seems to be a used cpu with unknown type of previous usage and also overheating issues which the causes of it could be that this cpu may have gone through a poorly performed delidding OR it needs delidding already.

with this overheating issue he also overclocked it and the heat can actually affect the lifetime

[jovial tide]

he also mentioned the clock is lowered automatically which is a protective mechanism built-in to the cpu in case of critical temperatures

[cold elbow]

Extreme overclocking would hurt maximum frequency after few years of using them tho.

But that's a drop in like few MHz that doesn't make any noticeable difference

[kindred temple]

I wanna try full lapped CPU

Lapped die, IHS, and lapped heatsink

[cold elbow]

But

Why?

[kindred temple]

Because Extreme Overclocking

Its like because racecar

But even more useless

:omegalul:

[cold elbow]

Extreme as in pumping a lot of voltage to get that tiny last frequency out of the cpu

[jovial tide]

the copper heatsink is actually glued on top of the cpu die, thermal compound is also used in between the die and heatsink

[kindred temple]

They start that in haswell, not sandy

Wait, not sandy

Ivy???

[cold elbow]

Had a 3770k running on like 4.8ghz for years and one day it just stopped doing that, had to drop frequency a little bit and give it more voltage but that's after 5 years of keeping it running on that speed and never turn the pc off

I think it's started with ivy

[kindred temple]

Ye

Earliest delid tool i can find is for 3000 series intel

[cold elbow]

I wanted to do that to mine but then motherboard died

Switched to amd

[kindred temple]

Honestly i cant believe bitches like JayzTwoCents or Linus Tech Tips havent done 3000 series intel paired with 3000 series nvidia

3770k with 3090

[cold elbow]

Well hardwareumboxed and gamernexus usually do things like that

[cold elbow]

Also it makes zero sense to do that

[kindred temple]

Yes, it doesnt.

But so does this

https://youtu.be/5HJVWqyOW-M

[cold elbow]

"Meme pc"

Cpu availability was never an issue to go back to old hardware

[kindred temple]

You can delid an ivy bridge

[cold elbow]

Yes

[kindred temple]

And by that time, AMD basically gone off the radar at the top of the line SKUs

i wonder if thats a coincidence

[cold elbow]

Sandy was bullet proof

It destroyed amd

And ummm

[kindred temple]

Intel itself too

[cold elbow]

Amd came with the most pepega architecture ever

[kindred temple]

Considering all the way from ivy to skylake its not good enough of an improvement

[kindred temple]

300W stock CPU

80°c throttle

[cold elbow]

Vrm 100C

This is fine

[kindred temple]

Exactly

A good working 990FX board that havent got a black spot? Whats that

Thats right, a hoax

[cold elbow]

Amd mobos used to be shit anyways

[kindred temple]

Honestly AMD's story pretty much mirror Williams.

But Lisa Su actually understand how to bring a dying company in her industry

[jovial tide]

you're right, i just checked it out.

my bad

[lost fossil]

i used to have this

kinda... it was a 1920x and a 1080 ti

[arctic yarrow]

3rd gen intel isn't soldered. I know because I delided my 3770k on my last PC.

Also, delidding isn't very risky if you use a delid tool.

[arctic yarrow]

I mean, that's a decent pairing.

[kindred temple]

Delid tools should be rented tbh

[arctic yarrow]

I think I get your reason why, but I want you to spell it out.

[kindred temple]

Youre more likely to only used it once, and then you gonna seal the CPU and forget. You only gonna bust them out when you suspect your liquid metal leaks out.

And also, CPU sizes changes.

[arctic yarrow]

It's because the liquid metal might seep out that I think delid tools should be purchased.

Also, Intel CPUs are the only CPUs that use thermal compound between the die and the IHS, and Intel CPUs have not changed their physical dimensions since Sandy Bridge.

Unless you're looking at the enthusiast LGA 2011 pin layout.

[jovial tide]

how about AMD cpus? how are they structured?

never seen one

[arctic yarrow]

There's no point in delidding AMD CPUs, because AMD has always soldered the die to the IHS.

And AFAIK they will continue to do so.

[jovial tide]

why would intel switch to thermal compound? reducing the costs?

[kindred temple]

Yes.

[jovial tide]

hmm

[kindred temple]

You literally deleted a step in CPU creation and makes it just a dot of easily squeezed compound

And then sealant on the edge

[arctic yarrow]

That's why Intel has had thermal issues since Ivy bridge released.

And why AMD CPUs nowadays have better thermals than Intel.

Intel: Let's make overclocking reserved to a specific subset of CPUs we sell at a higher premium, and make the thermals shit, and only make overclocking available in the BIOS.
AMD: LOL, we're unlocking the multiplier on all our CPUs. Here's an overclocking utility you can use in Windows too, while we're at it.

[kindred temple]

And Intel rushed XTU to the market

Which while less borked than Zen Master, is still pretty barebone

And then B460 happened

And they basically their way thru r/pcmasterrace

[arctic yarrow]

I have a quick question. So I compiled a barebones video clipping utility from python, and anytime I try to share it with any of my friends their windows defender immediately deletes it. How can I get that exe file whitelisted on windows defender?

Ok, thanks for clarifying. Yeah, delidding a soldered CPU is risky AF, and not worth it IMO.

What exceptions are there with normal Ivy bridge? IK my old 3770k wasn't soldered.

My understanding is LGA 1155 CPUs were not soldered, while the LGA2011 CPUS on that architecture were.

Oh, there were the LGA1356 CPUs as well, but they were Xeons and a Pentium for some reason.

[kindred temple]

*1366

Or was it 1156?

Lemme check

[kindred temple]

Oh thats X58 board

[arctic yarrow]

1366 supported the Intel 900 series, as well as the xeon 35xx, 36xx, 55xx, and 56xx series.

1356 supported Xeon E5 14xx v1 & v2, 24xx v1 & v2 series, as well as Pentium 14xx v1 & v2.

[kindred temple]

Ic

[stone harbor]

ah yes

cooling

thats my gpu btw

[arctic yarrow]

That looks normal for a GPU under load.

[stone harbor]

eh

not a GTX 1650

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, then that's kinda bad

[stone harbor]

it normally caps at around 68

after the last driver update its been much higher

its down to 73 now

[arctic yarrow]

Have you noticed an increase in your core clock?

or voltage?

[stone harbor]

core has been a bit higher i think

[arctic yarrow]

That explains it.

[stone harbor]

yeah

i might underclock core

[arctic yarrow]

Nah, I'd keep it like that. Most gpus are designed to operate within that temp range.

I'd start to worry if it's hitting at or over 85C

Think of it as "manufacturer overclocking" or something like that.

[stone harbor]

yeah sure

[brave field]

75C, normal

[stone harbor]

eh

[viscid lintel]

what

[fervent granite]

of all the things they could've cheaped out on it had to be storage?

[kindred temple]

You prefer what as a compromise? No touch screen? Smaller battery? Integrated ads?

400$ for a mobile desktop machine is impressive considering their laptop peers can barely run windows 10

Or even fat linux like Ubuntu.

The handheld v 400$ PC especially used is gonna be a different battlefield though

1280x800 screen was a good move

all thesr phone elitists want a 4k 5 inch screen and then complain that their phone lasts for 2 hours

[silent mason]

I have a 1080p+ screen (because not 16:9 aspect ratio) on my phone and that's great. I didn't need a 4k screen on that. Heck, probably didn't even need 1080p...

[cold elbow]

For its price the new steam deck is a steal, it will probably be scalped hard for a while.
I don't think valve making a profit from the device but it will be in the long run.

[kindred temple]

I dont think any phone enthusiast ask for 4k

I love my 1440p as is

The 4k is so overkill you cant even tell a rose dithering at lower res

[lost fossil]

i had a galaxy alpha ( ? ) with a 720 display and it was perfectly adequate

[kindred temple]

720 is not that good

1080 is bare minimum and thats the standard for a series rn iirc

[blazing sundial]

is it possible to use daw for live audio manipulation

[brave field]

I've used FL plugins live, Ableton is designed to be used live

[blazing sundial]

i dont think fl is that good for live

also im looking to use them as an audio source

like pitching, reverb etc to an live audio either from computer or mic

and using daw to become the input source after the audio is processed

is it possible?

[brave field]

very

I used FL as a voice changer for a bit, and helped a friend use it live with their bass guitar. With the right settings, you can have almost 0 latency if you choose as well

you'll want software that can emulate a second audio input, be it an ASIO plugin or VB audio cable or something of the sort

[blazing sundial]

do you know any?

[brave field]

VB audio cable is free and used often. There are others like VAW on github, or VAC on muzy you can try if you want

[blazing sundial]

alright i'll check them, thanks.

[brave field]

also, check if your current audio driver has a "stereo mix" device you can use instead, or if on Linux, Pulseaudio has the option

[blazing sundial]

okay

i'll just use daw as it has much better manipulation

[brave field]

You use these with the DAW if its ASIO doesn't do it on its own

mic->DAW->output into virtual speaker->routed to virtual mic->"Listen to this device"/use it as your mic in Discord/other external programs

[blazing sundial]

Okay

Thanks

And also if there's any way to connect two computer for live audio/video etc

Like I use a laptop for vocal mixing and a pc for some other thing

[brave field]

line in port, usually blue for audio

[blazing sundial]

Ohhk

Yeah that works

Thanks

[arctic yarrow]

To explain it more in-depth, the first 6 characters of the MAC address are called the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) which is assigned based on the manufacturer of said device, while the last 6 characters identify the specific device.

[jovial tide]

Didn’t know that, thanks!

I know this is a very specific request, but does anyone know of a ps/2 multimedia mechanical keyboard, preferably using buckling springs, and utilizes n-key rollover?

The closest I've found is the Gateway 7001211 keyboard, but I'm unable to find any documentation to determine if n-key rollover is supported.

[arctic yarrow]

I suppose I could go with a unicomp pc 122 keyboard and utilize the f13-24 keys for multimedia.

[brave field]

ooh, F13-F24

I've been wanting to set up binds to use those keys in some way for a while but I have no clue what to bind

[arctic yarrow]

Probably volume up/down/mute for the first three, then shortcuts to the programs you use most often.

Get custom keycaps for them too.

I can break it down for you if you want.

[arctic yarrow]

I just reserved the base model of the steam deck, tell me I'm stupid.

[brave field]

No waiting for reviews?

[vapid grove]

Unless it's a complete flop with major issues stemming from poor QC or poor design, I dont think it's that bad of a choice.

From what I've seen it's fairly competent performance wise, and the price point really is decent.

[arctic yarrow]

Honestly, I just reserved it so I could have a fun toy to fuck around with. I'm also definitely gonna try throwing in an NVME SSD in it.

[arctic yarrow]

IK I'm beating a dead horse at this point, but fuck Netgear. They charge $150 for BASIC tech support on a $200 router that doesn't renew the DHCP lease properly. I crushes my fucking soul talking to people on the phone and finding out they got swindled by this POS company.

For the love of God, I beg you, buy ANY other router than Netgear.

[blazing sundial]

what does this mean

[arctic yarrow]

Generally means your computer has been up for 15 hours.

nope, i had unplugged it a long time ago, i just turned it on about 10mins ago

Superfetch saves uptime too, uptimes in windows 10 nowadays means nothing

[pliant lynx]

because of the fast startup features

[blazing sundial]

whats that

i thought the cell on mobo was bugged

[pliant lynx]

" instead of Turning PC off at shutdown, it saves Drivers + a copy of windows kernel into ram, and other things into hibernate file, and puts PC into a hybrid hibernate state"

[blazing sundial]

okay

[pliant lynx]

so that why uptime is so high even tho u turned it on 10mins ago

[blazing sundial]

okay, thanks.

[arctic yarrow]

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying.

Whats the most accurate option for checking uptime in this case?

[kindred temple]

Logging when you logged in and logged out on a piece of paper

[blazing sundial]

nice

[pliant lynx]

u can turn it off

[arctic yarrow]

Apparently rebooting doesn't use superfetch, while shutdown does.

[blazing sundial]

though what's the use?

[kindred temple]

Faster bootup

[blazing sundial]

[arctic yarrow]

I guess the reasoning is shutting down generally doesn't mean there's an issue, while rebooting does.

Therefore, the OS is technically in hibernation mode for faster bootup when you shutdown, while rebooting is a full shutdown and startup.

It's... confusing, but also makes a bit of sense.

[fervent granite]

Imagine having enough space for the hibernation file

[arctic yarrow]

I mean...

is it unreasonable to try and get your whole build for watercooling 5-7 years after all warrenties expire?

water loop cooling with reservoir

[kindred temple]

Reasonable, but you should watercool something that actually can perform in the modern day.

Least thats my opinion

[brave field]

5-7 years after all warranties, that's 15-17 years with some power supplies

with how expensive custom loops are, you could get a brand new and significantly more powerful PC with that money after 7 years

$450 is often enough and is around how much the average PC on the Steam hardware survey costs, when prices are normal

Is this the 5300G + RX5500 model or some other model?

[jovial tide]

yes this one

costs $888.99 along with the slight changes i made

[brave field]

What changes?

[jovial tide]

true but, my friend is on a budget

the changes i made - 16 gb ram/512 ssd/1 tb hdd

nvm , 256 gb sdd is enough

so thats $848.99

[brave field]

$900 is super high for those parts, I wouldn't

[jovial tide]

time to look for more pre builds 😭

[brave field]

At absolute max, maybe $600, but even then PCs were more powerful at $100 less in 2018

Checked all the usual dealsites?

[jovial tide]

i forgot most of the names

[jovial tide]
