I was thinking of getting a 3060 Ti. But none are available in Australia really

@brave field

[brave field]

Looks alright, but you definitely should not buy the GPU at that price

3060 Ti are available but PCPP doesn't list up to date GPUs at all with the current situation, you'll just have to search manually and get them when they're in stock for 3-4 minutes

should save something around 600 AUD doing that

Well about 2 weeks from now i will start in a summer course for Web design in a programming school.Any recommendations?

[brave field]

Web design and lots of programming stuff can be done on anything

That's not possible, and that vid is staged. Li-ion batteries would literally explode if charged that fast due to heat. Too many lithium atoms being forced through the electrolyte at the same time would cause excess heat and melt the layers, which would then cause it to combust and explode.

Why on earth is the camera cover on the S20 FE 5G made of... essentially paper with how little it has in durability...

It fell literally 30cm... the glass has shattered 😦

[brave field]

Is it in warranty? If not, there's likely some replacements on ebay or aliexpress

[fervent granite]

[brave field]

would be pretty nice if every phone was just durable from the start though
there's really no excuse when you have Samsung's level of money

[fervent granite]

honestly yeah, I'm surprised it wasn't

iirc the camera bumps on the recent iphones are a separate component and even have their own adhesive

[brave field]

That's a very non-Apple thing to do and I like it

as long as there's no software-side detection and complaint system if you replace it

[fervent granite]

not the adhesive part though, they love their glue

they've done it with macbook batteries, glass backs, displays, etc.

but they did try to lockout 3rd party cameras, it was changed in an ios update though

[brave field]

wonder why

cameras are one of the most expensive components in a phone, maybe second most expensive in iphones with how much heavy lifting the software and SOC do for image quality. Locking out third parties would be super profitable, no?

[fervent granite]

profitable because only apple would've been able to repair it yeah

[silent mason]

It's not covered by warranty. It is insured though.

but there is a problem... place where my insurance is with... only does replacements (from what I can tell)... and they don't have my model anymore, which means I'm getting thrown onto a different model which means I'm giving something up...

(likely the desktop mode and wireless charging and 5G)

[brave field]

owie

Desktop mode shouldn't be lost but losing hardware features on replacement is awful

[fervent granite]

The phone isn't even a year old, how can they not have your model anymore?

[junior flax]

I did the same thing with my s8

Dropped it not even high up

And the whole back gone

And it all just peeled off over time

[silent mason]

if the phone has USB-C 2.0, then it doesn't have the bandwidth for desktop mode...

[silent mason]

Well, the page for my model of phone on the website just leads to a 404 now...

Do I turn off or turn off and unplug when I got DDosed?

And is it safe to message someone on another router or you'll get DDosed by them again?

For PS4

[brave field]

You need a new public IP when under a real DoS/DDoS attack, restarting devices in your house won't do anything unless your ISP gives you a new IP when you restart your router

Power cycle your router and if the attack is still going on, contact your ISP

[tulip plaza]

I believe I have dynamic ip

Thx

Is it safe though to message the person who (probably) DDosed you (to ask if he did it or no) on another router or I'm in risk of getting this router DDosed too?

I heard you can DDos only with ps4 usernames

[arctic yarrow]

In my experience, most DDoS attacks on you only last a maximum of 5 min.

[tulip plaza]

Thanks

[brave field]

Another router won't change anything, the DDoS is on your public IP address and not the router hardware

[arctic yarrow]

Unfortunately R* doesn't exactly give a shit about public ip address exposure. You're vulnerable to DDoS attacks playing this game unless you use a VPN.

[tulip plaza]

How do I know though if I got DDosed, or my router is just dying for no reason?

[brave field]

Read your router's logs

What OS do you mainly use on mobile or PC? There's almost always a very easy way to get the address you need to use to check them

[tulip plaza]

I use IOS

[brave field]

Should be able to get the router's IP by going to settings, wifi, and then tapping the blue "i" icon. If you put that ip address in a web browser, you'll be able to get to the settings page. Unfortunately, its a different layout for every brand from there, but logs/diagnostics should be in there somewhere

[tulip plaza]

What should I look for there? I see the diagnostics option

[brave field]

Look for logs

Some menu should mention access or error logs or something of the sort

[tulip plaza]

The closest one is system logs

Not in diagnostics though, it's in admin

[brave field]

If you see a whole bunch of SYN or TCP floods in there, that's likely a DoS/DDoS attack

what is different in android 11?

[brave field]

File access is pretty much dead

Scoped storage was introduced and forced, and its just barely less restrictive than it is on iOS

in short, app storage is containerized, which is good and stops ransomware, but everything else is containerized too, and you, as the user, have less access than apps do

How much of this is directly from the people making the regulations? Did the people making the regulations specifically choose to exclude consoles and server PCs despite knowing they are using hugely more power, or was this the writer's own interpretation?

[tall dome]

we follow the 75KWh/Yearly of non active hours

basically sleep mode

this is measured via the intel chart provided to the Environment groups in California that I don't know the name of

Why do they mention cloud-based gaming as an activity increasing energy demand?

[kindred temple]

because server load I guess, which is stupid when small scale servers are exempt

[eager tapir]

@brave field do you know how to get air pockets out of the cpu block? I’m getting horrible cracking noises from the radiator. MSI aio cooler mag

[jovial tide]

windows for gaming, linux for everything else

[cold elbow]

Windows for everything

[brave field]

@eager tapir No idea, I avoid all liquid cooling

[cold elbow]

U can start by showing us how it's mounted

[silent mason]

Ah, are you a pure air cooler then?

[brave field]

yes, air is perfection! Its inexpensive! It never leaks! It never crackles! Its easy to mount! There are also many situations where liquid cooling is good, but it seems half the people who get it are using $120+ AIOs on CPUs that barely get warm (10400/f, 3600)

[silent mason]

On a 5900X would liquid make more sense then?

Even though I'm going to a Noctua air cooler anyway

[brave field]

That can still be air cooled effectively but a liquid cooler has the potential to be a small bit quieter at high load.

[silent mason]

Yeah, I'm gonna be using my NH-D15 with twin fans

[lost fossil]

Its easy to mount!
installing a noctua cooler with lian li unifans was not easy in the slightest

[cold elbow]

Also liquid cooling is safer for travelling and quiet

[eager tapir]

Not all aio’s leak unless you don’t take care of them

Plus air isn’t exactly that effective

[lost fossil]

what do you think the radiator does in a liquid cooling loop?

[eager tapir]

well ik that

but blowing hot air on an already hot cpu

[iron lantern]

air isnt effective when ur gaming in a stadium...

when u have a high performance cpu while running higher performance games, go for AIOs, you'll find it to have not so toasty cpu and possible damage of the cpu

[jovial tide]

that needs a good air flow design inside the case

Like I say, if I was gonna liquid cool, I was gonna be going full custom, with 2 480mm rads, a 420mm rad, a 360mm rad, and a 140mm rad

[cold elbow]

that's because the x62 sucks
show me how a noctual gonna stand against arctic liquid freezer 2 AIO which is cheaper than the NZXT and probably even cheaper than noctua in some places

especially when the new models are coming with an off-set bracets

[lost fossil]

i have an x61 actually

[silent mason]

And I'd be going for the actual best of the best custom liquid cooling solution, aka, getting a full custom one for £100'000

[cold elbow]

lol

im playing rdr2 on my AIO and cpu be like 50C max

fan on 600 rpm

[silent mason]

Yeah mine isn't that cool, but I'm using a Wraith Prism

[cold elbow]

i had that one and modified it but it was just loud

i wanted a silent operation

[lost fossil]

i play gta on my noctua and cpu be like 91c max

[silent mason]

If I was gonna be liquid cooling, even under max sustained load in max Florida heat, I would not be happy unless it was producing 0db noise, and was keeping the CPU below 0C

Even after 52 weeks of sustained non-stop load with no breaks, every single core and thread running at 100% without breaks

[cold elbow]

yeah

but going to 0 isnt good lol

[silent mason]

Hence why I'd be looking at a minimum of £100'000 for my liquid cooling alone

Likely to be closer to £100'000'000

[cold elbow]

not really

u can do that for like 200 bucks

[silent mason]

Bear in mind I'd be getting a company to custom build me a solution

[lost fossil]

this is not funny

[cold elbow]

you would want your parts to run on operating temps

[silent mason]

No AIO or anything, this would be paying a company to R&D and produce me something completely custom

[cold elbow]

like nand does not like to run very cold

[cold elbow]

what kind of monster cpu u have

[silent mason]

Which is another reason I've avoided liquid cooling... if I'm going to go liquid cooling, everything is being liquid cooled, not just the CPU. I've said that countless times already. Which means 200 bucks isn't gonna cut it.

[lost fossil]

5800x with pbo enabled

[cold elbow]

i went for liquid cooling for few reasons
first, stop the fans from randomly ramping up for opening google chrome
second, to keep cpu on maximum boost all the time (PBO)
third, near-silent operation

[silent mason]

I'm gonna be either all air or all liquid cooling, for every single component. I won't for example liquid cool CPU and air cool GPU, either both air or both liquid.

[cold elbow]

u can go for an AIO and having a gpu that has good cooling

[silent mason]

I've already said I'm either air cooling or liquid cooling all components.

That is not up for negotiation.

[cold elbow]

you sound like a guy that be like if i buy a an X type mobo like x470 i should buy an X type cpu like 3600X

why? nobody knows the wisdom

[silent mason]

It's just the way I'm approaching it. Even if it looks so dumb to you I should be murdered on the spot.

I already know I'm going to be dead before this PC goes out of warranty anyway (3 year warranty), so I'll stay firm.

[cold elbow]

we approach things differently ofc
I look for the best efficiency for the best price

[silent mason]

Yeah, if I'm liquid cooling, I'm going for efficiency with no care to cost

Which will mean a full custom loop tweaked for maximum efficiency, to ensure nothing cools better than it, and nothing in the next 20 years will reach that efficiency either.

[lost fossil]

kinda sounds dumb

[cold elbow]

yeah cus colder does not mean faster lol

[lost fossil]

you can't have 0c temps without having a dozen fans dissipating condensation

and having a dozen fans defeats the point

you need to get 2-3 or those 9x140 rads and put them in the attic or something

[silent mason]

We're talking being able to overclock this 5900X to 100GHz per core, all cores, and keep it within operating temperatures

[lost fossil]

Nope, I'm deadly serious, but if you think I'm trolling, htid is highly encouraged by me to permanently ban me from this server here and now for it.

No questions asked, no appeals allowed.

[cold elbow]

nah it would be interesting to see that 100GHz

[lost fossil]

we don't do it like that here

[silent mason]

Thing is, I don't have millions of pounds lying around to cover the cost of the cooling needed to achieve that (as the R&D costs would be insane for a start), so therefore I'll be sticking with air cooling, likely keeping my 5900X at 2.2GHz 6c/6t with zero boost allowed.

And yes, I currently have the CPU in that state.

[junior flax]

When ur cpu probs costs more then my pc

[lost fossil]

reaching 100 ghz has nothing to do with cooling

even when using liquid helium which is the coldest substance in existence the world record overclock is in the 8.5ghz range

you'll have to live until 2121 to see frequencies like that

[ionic thistle]

[jovial tide]

We'll probably not see 100ghz even by then

i just started the game on pc after playing on ps4 for a while

and it wont let me go into the full 2k resolution, plus start menu is all laggy but ingame its normal

even if i go into 2560 x 1080 the aspect ratio wont let me full screen

ok NVM dont worry

the game is just like that XD

when im in freroam im 2k resolution

[lost fossil]

in single player the pause menu is all fucked up with lag if you have a high fps

[grave dagger]

how do i limit fps ?

[lost fossil]

RTSS

[grave dagger]

where dat

[lost fossil]

on the internet

also bundled with msi afterburner

[grave dagger]

okey ty

[cold elbow]

First of all, it depends on your network card
For example, if you have a gigabit LAN card you will need something like cat5/cat5e cable to reach these speeds and stability
If you have more than that like 2.5gig or 10gigs card you will need a cad6 cable

[junior flax]

Hey so im thinking of ocing my cpu tonight i have a i5 4690k running at 3.7ghz

What should i oc it to?

[lost fossil]

4.3

4.4?

[jovial tide]

4.2

[junior flax]

I did originally overclock it to 4.2 but i had to reset bios when changing boot drive and it reset i believe.

[jovial tide]

so is overclocking to 4.2 causing u problems

[cold elbow]

Oc to whatever that silicon is capable to do

[junior flax]

No it changed to bios default but i didnt oc it my grandad did for me

But im trying myself this time

[jovial tide]

overclocking is ez

just a matter of settings change

[junior flax]

Yh ik its just a first time

[jovial tide]

read about your cpu's OC abilities on the internet first, if this is your first time doing oc

[junior flax]

It said it can oc to around 4.2

[fleet marsh]

what code editors do yall use

im looking for a good one to use with Java

[pliant lynx]

visual studio

[jovial tide]

if you're a beginner, Atom or VSCode is more than enough, if you wanna write serious business code, use Intellij Idea ,community edition

[timid lark]

if my heaven benchmark is crashing does it mean my gpu is dead??
and not working ?

please answer i've beem having trouble for a while

[cold elbow]

Heaven is not a gpu test only ...

It might be memory oc or cpu
As for gpu do u see any artifacts before the crash?

[timid lark]

yes

like it keep getting so loud

and all my heavy games crash like f1 2021, call of duty, battlefield and apex legends

[cold elbow]

Loud fans?

[timid lark]

loud gpu fans

[cold elbow]

Maybe you have a bad thermal paste

Are you monitoring the temperatures

[timid lark]

nah my cpu is new like 3 months old and my gpu 2 years old

it cant be

[cold elbow]

Fans goes loud when you overheating

And u just need a simple software to verify that

[timid lark]

well my cpu temps stay from 35-45 degrees

[cold elbow]

Im talking about gou

Gpu

Not cpu

[timid lark]

i havent checked it

alright just checked 65-70

degrees

and it crashed my whole pc

[cold elbow]

U probably have something else because it shouldn't crash the whole pc

[timid lark]

i dont know it just crashes my whole pc i can record it to u on my phone and send it to you?

so when it crashed the gpu loadage was at 192% idk what happened

[junior flax]

192% wtf

[mystic cargo]

any money dropper?

[jovial tide]

did you read the channels name?

[slender trellis]

Are you kidding me?!?! Damnnn where am I going to buy gaming PCs in California now that Fry's is gone?

[junior flax]

@CookieStudios#5609

@brave field

Ok

Im having bit of problem

I try to boot into bios pressing f12 while booting and it shows no display

Im so fucking confused

It boots into windows normally tho

[brave field]

weird

Is your display just black, or are you getting some message like "unsupported resolution," or does it just say no signal?

[junior flax]

No signal

I was able to boot into bios when installing my ssd but i want to reoc my cpu as it reset as i had to reset when changing boot drice

Drive

[brave field]

Does your system have an iGPU?

[junior flax]

No clue what that is, i have gtx 970

[brave field]

What CPU do you have?

[junior flax]

I5 4690k

[brave field]

There's a small chance your BIOS/UEFI is being displayed solely on your 4690k's integrated graphics and not your 970

[junior flax]

Right..

[arctic yarrow]

^, try plugging directly into your motherboard and check if it's set to display on the discrete gpu.

[junior flax]

Mhm

I know barely shit about pcs 😂

[brave field]

Lets say your PC looks like this from behind

The blue area is your 970, the red is the output for the Intel HD GPU die that comes with your CPU

When you have the no signal error, try moving your display's HDMI/DP/DVI from the blue area to the red

[junior flax]

Right you see i have an hdmi port at the top

And there is them ports that screw in on bottom 2 od them

Lemme see if i can get pic

Too dark

[junior flax]

Its already in red

[brave field]

That's problematic

[junior flax]

Its in top not bottom hdmi

[brave field]

Your 970 has been doing nothing if you've always been using those top ports

[junior flax]

Huh

[brave field]

and most BIOSes default to showing only on the dedicated GPU once you have it plugged in

[junior flax]

But in task manager it goes up and down and in games it shows 4gb ddr5 or whatever

[brave field]

It might be doing copy operations or math

Or if you have a really weird setup, the 970 is rendering and then sending that to the Intel HD, at a performance loss

[junior flax]

AAAA

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, plug that shit into your 970

[junior flax]

Just annoyed its all good

[junior flax]

My 970 aint got no hdmi the bottom ports!!

Only screws!

Screw ports

AAAAAAAA

[brave field]

You should get a DVI to HDMI adapter then

[junior flax]

No wonder shits been running slow lately

[brave field]

Sadly, the DVI "standard" is very stupid, but its likely your 970 is using DVI-D, Dual Link

[arctic yarrow]

https://www.amazon.com/Benfei-Bidirectional-Female-Adapter-Gold-Plated/dp/B07CXY79KR/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=hdmi+to+dvi+adapter&qid=1627674769&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzSkNXWjVIWUFCMFE3JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjU3NzYzUFM3V09aRDY4WTBTJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwOTI2NzczUjJOOUlHWkNYVElOJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

[junior flax]

OMFG

UR RIGHT

MY 970 AINT EVEN BEING USEd

[arctic yarrow]

Ouch

[brave field]

970 is sleeping!

On the bright side, its running at a wonderful temperature for other parts of your system being under load

[junior flax]

The thing is this sounds weird my grandad made my pc and shit hes done pc for years years

[junior flax]

Thats cos of some fat fans and aio on cpu

[arctic yarrow]

Well, on the upside, your 970 is probably in pristine condition from not heating up that much.

[junior flax]

Ye

[brave field]

Bartor, teach me English

[junior flax]

So i need to get dvi to hdmi

Aaaa

[brave field]

Once you've started using your 970, your BIOS will likely disable your Intel HD. You can re-enable it if you'd ever have a use for a second GPU

[junior flax]

Ok

[arctic yarrow]

I'm sorry, I'm only half-proficient in my natural language.

[junior flax]

So just buy dvi to hdmi?

[brave field]

If your 970 has something like a DisplayPort instead, go for that. DisplayPort to HDMI is a simple conversion, while 1 of the 6 versions of DVI to HDMI can cause some adapters to not work

else, yeah, try DVI-D dual link to HDMI

[junior flax]

Ok

Ill ask my dad now

To order

[arctic yarrow]

Here's what all the different modern connectors look like:

At least, what I assume you have on your PC

Ideally, you'll want to locate an HDMI port on your 970, but if it doesn't have one, try locating a DisplayPort port and try to get an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter

[junior flax]

@brave field

Is this right

Red is where hdmi is plugged into motherboard
Blue is where it should be in the gpu?

[brave field]

yup

[junior flax]

NVM

I FOUND A HDMI

YES IT WORKED

Thanks for help 😂

Now is working

@brave field does this mean my cpu will run better as its also not running a gpu on it?

[brave field]

Not much will change in regards to the rest of your hardware

Your CPU might run a bit cooler, and your system overall will have a tiny bit more ram to use if the iGPU got disabled

[arctic yarrow]

Your games will run much better, but everything else will generally be the same with the exception of less RAM usage and a cooler running CPU.

[junior flax]

thanks lads,

[arctic yarrow]

You're welcome 🙂

[ebon wigeon]

Does anyone know any software that can make my cpu run better , even if not significantly?

[arctic yarrow]

Well, you can overclock your CPU in the BIOS if your CPU is unlocked.

What type of CPU do you have?

@ebon wigeon

[cold elbow]

Yes, remove bloatware

[ebon wigeon]

I5 3340 , Not the best ik

[ebon wigeon]

how

[ebon wigeon]

how would one do this

[arctic yarrow]

It wouldn't matter unless you purchased a K type CPU for your CPU generation.

Your CPU is not currently able to be overclocked without a custom bios, and even then there's a chance you won't be able to.

[ebon wigeon]

Understood.

[arctic yarrow]

The best option I have for you, besides buying a 3570k or 3770k, is to uninstall programs that launch at startup and you don't use.

And maybe even prevent programs you do use from starting up when you turn on your PC.

[ebon wigeon]

Alright cool

Is an I7 3770s A viable replacement?

[arctic yarrow]

It's a decent upgrade from what you're using, but it's also a locked CPU.

Also, lemme double-check that cpu, I thin that might be a mobile processor.

[ebon wigeon]

Ah Alright

[arctic yarrow]

Ok nvm, it's a desktop CPU

Yeah, that would be a decent upgrade from what you have.

Although, at this point, I would recommend saving up and going with a newer desktop, either a decent prebuilt or something you can build.

That CPU released back in 2012 IIRC.

[ebon wigeon]

yeah my current pc isnt the best , and i am looking to get a newer one

just looking for short term upgrades , any suggestions?

[arctic yarrow]

Depends on what you're looking for. What games/programs are you wanting to run at passable performance?

[ebon wigeon]

I dont really have a specific game or programme , i use a variety of things

[arctic yarrow]

What gpu do you currently have?

And what's your monitor's resolution?

[ebon wigeon]

Recently Upgraded to a GT 1030 Aero , and my monitor is at 1440 x 900

[arctic yarrow]

Gotcha. at that resolution, you might be able to squeeze in a different GPU, depending on your budget.

[ebon wigeon]

I did get the 1030 like last week , upgraded from a GT 710 , It was like right at the peak of my budget

[arctic yarrow]

Oh ok, so I guess you'll want to hang on to it for a while. The used GPU market is kinda insane right now.

Right now, nothing really screams "bottleneck" to me with your current build.

[ebon wigeon]

would you recommend more ram , an issue im currently having with games is that they can sit idle , one even at like 150 frames but the second i start to do stuff it plummets insanely and often crashes

[arctic yarrow]

How much RAM do you have?

[ebon wigeon]

8gbs

[arctic yarrow]

I'd grab another 8gb to be safe then.

Offhand, do you know the frequency of your RAM?

[ebon wigeon]

799.9 MHz

Wait thats 'DRAM' is that a different thing?

[cold elbow]

Which means 1600

Ddr3

8gb is enough if you clean your windows bloatware.

[ebon wigeon]

how do i do that?

[cold elbow]

There are many ways

Best one is using a script

[arctic yarrow]

You're talking aobut windows 10 debloater right?

[ebon wigeon]

this is still going way over my head

[cold elbow]

https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater

[arctic yarrow]

Personally, I'd not be that comfortable with only going for 8gb, since I generally use 12gb or more on a daily basis.

[cold elbow]

There are videos on the internet explaining how it works

[ebon wigeon]

Alright , so debloater and ram.

when my budget goes up ill grab 2 sticks of 8 and see if i get any improvement

[cold elbow]

Probably not much

[arctic yarrow]

Do you already have 1 stick or 2?

[cold elbow]

Because your card is weak

[ebon wigeon]

i have 2 sticks of 4

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, I recommend getting 2X4gb if you're looking at adding RAM.

[cold elbow]

Or one extra 4gb

[ebon wigeon]

i only have 2 slots

[cold elbow]

Not worth it to spend on that system

Maybe invest on an SSD since you can move it later to a new system

[arctic yarrow]

It might be ok to tide him over until the market stops being absolute shit.

[cold elbow]

And an ssd will make a massive difference

[ebon wigeon]

honestly i dont think my motherboard has an ssd slot

[cold elbow]

It does

[ebon wigeon]

its so out of date its unreal

[arctic yarrow]

It's the same slot as a hard drive slot.

[cold elbow]

U buy a sata ssd

[arctic yarrow]

^

[ebon wigeon]

Oooooh alright

what will that help with?

[cold elbow]

Loading times, hiccups

[arctic yarrow]

General data access times, especially on windows 10.

[cold elbow]

System snappiness overall

[arctic yarrow]

Windows 10 is garbage on a HDD, but works fine on a SSD

[cold elbow]

It can even help your ram

Since it would be faster to page file

[arctic yarrow]

Yes and no. Ram is generally utilized while programs are active.

[cold elbow]

I know what im talking about

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, I'm aware of page files, but it will still slow down if the RAM hits capacity.

[ebon wigeon]

I may do both once my budget goes up

then again i could just wait longer and buy a new system

[arctic yarrow]

But Melon is right, a SSD would provide a noticeable performance boost if your OS is currently on a HDD.

As compared to RAM.

[ebon wigeon]

So SSD over RAM?

[arctic yarrow]

Yes

[ebon wigeon]

Gotcha

[cold elbow]

"and u can move the ssd into a new system"

[ebon wigeon]

Double Gotcha

[cold elbow]

It's a wise investment

[ebon wigeon]

what about the CPU?

[cold elbow]

Leave it

[arctic yarrow]

Not worth upgrading the CPU imo.

[ebon wigeon]

Triple Gotcha

[cold elbow]

It will be bottlenecked by your 1030

[arctic yarrow]

What cpu isn't bottlenecked by a 1030? Pentium 4?

[cold elbow]

Depends on the game i guess

[ebon wigeon]

Will the SSD Help with the frame drops?

[cold elbow]

Maybe

[arctic yarrow]

Depends on if the frame drops are from assets loading.

[ebon wigeon]

Basically I spawn things in , and game just plummets , in a game where the whole point is to do just that

People Playground ^

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, You might have a reduction in frame drops in those specific cases.

I can't guarantee they'll be fully eliminated.

[ebon wigeon]

Alright sweet , ill have a go at that Bloat thing now

Thank you for your help guys

[arctic yarrow]

NP

[ebon wigeon]

one last thing , can i run the HHD and SSD simultaneously as i have more than one SATA Slot

[cold elbow]

Yes

But you need your operating system to be on that ssd

And applications

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, I'd preferably find an SSD with the same capacity of your HDD (assuming it's not too expensive), then clone the drive over.

Then use your HDD for extra storage, like movies and shit.

In fact, that's what I do, I use my SSDs for games and my OS, and use my HDD for movies and to dump my shadowplay recordings.

[ebon wigeon]

Alright cool , doesnt seem too hard , and its cheaper than new ram and the CPU i nearly accidentally wasted my money on

thanks again guys

[arctic yarrow]

YW. One more thing, what's the capacity of your OS drive?

[ebon wigeon]

my main storage im using now?

[arctic yarrow]

Yes

[ebon wigeon]

1tb

[arctic yarrow]

Oh, that might be a little expensive if you're looking at a direct clone.

[ebon wigeon]

I found a sata one for £80

[cold elbow]

Fresh windows install is always the best option for moving to an ssd.

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, that's the lowest price for 1tb

[ebon wigeon]

its all i need!

[ebon wigeon]

ill be honest , i have no idea how to do that , and im scared im just gonna break the thing

i looked at that bloat thing and it looks way too complicated for me lmao

[cold elbow]

If u break something then boot back from your hdd like nothing happened

There are guides on the internet

Videos

[ebon wigeon]

ill have an in depth look in the morning

Thanks Guys!

[unreal iron]

@cold elbow do you know anything about app development

[winged swallow]

Eh. Usually it doesn't matter if you clone if the old one is not horribly bloated or old from like 2015 or a win 7/8->10 upgrade

[static torrent]

Is anyone know python programming language

[brave field]

@static torrentI'm learning, you?

[hoary marten]

I’m like a beginner intermediate

Why

[dire orchid]

I know some Python

[strong goblet]

Snake

[static torrent]

Actually I'm Learning C++. But can write intermediate Codes in Python

[static torrent]

Reptile... LoL 😂

[strong goblet]

I mean it’s a snake

A lizard is a reptile

[arctic yarrow]

I'm an amateur in python, but I was able to make a simple video cutting tool using moviepy.

[civic cloud]

That moment when you build a custom watercooling loop and forgot to buy the fucking pump ._.

Delivery time of 10 days

:(

[cold elbow]

Custom water cooling they said
It would be fun they said.

[prisma citrus]

xd

[zealous pasture]

yeah ok

[civic cloud]

It was but all pumps come with molex and only ekwb has one with Sata...and that has long shipping times

[cold elbow]

Not even pwm?

[civic cloud]

Oh molex and pwm yes

But Sata and pwm is only from ek

Could have gotten molex and dial on monday

But fuck that

@cold elbow do i need more than the pcie extension thing to mount my gpu vertically?

[cold elbow]

Assuming u get the bracket and the riser then no that's pretty much it

[civic cloud]

Already got a bracket in my case

[cold elbow]

Btw

Check pcie gen4 compatibility if you want to use that for your card

[civic cloud]

Yeah wanted to get gen4 anywa

[cold elbow]

Old risers cannot accomplish it

[civic cloud]

🤝

I shall search

And ask if it's ok

[cold elbow]

Btw

Why u didn't put that rad on top?

[civic cloud]

Because the current top is a glass panel which looks great and i would have to change it out for something ugly

[cold elbow]

Glass bad

[civic cloud]

No glass fancy

[cold elbow]

No glass bad

[civic cloud]

Why

[cold elbow]

Restrics airflow

[civic cloud]

No need for airflow to the top if you only got fans at the front

It's the fractal design S2 Vision

Google it, it looks great :D

[cold elbow]

U know ummm ....

When air gets in

It needs to get out from somewhere

[civic cloud]

Yes at the back

🤝

[cold elbow]

1 fan isn't enough

[civic cloud]

It is

🤝

[cold elbow]

Ok

[civic cloud]

:D

Once the air goes through the rad it barely matters anymore anyway

a lil for chipset and you're good

[cold elbow]

U think vrm does not need cooling?

[silent mason]

I'm running 9 fans on the case and frankly I don't think it's enough... but I'll check again once the Noctua is installed.

[cold elbow]

Anyways your setup will be positive pressure so air will try to escape from anywhere

[civic cloud]

They do need cooling, but the air you got from the front fans is good enough

[civic cloud]

Bruh

[cold elbow]

I have 5

3 front and 2 exaust

[civic cloud]

And you're bullying me for having 4 fans? smh

[silent mason]

4 on the front (120mm), 1 on the bottom (140mm). That's intake. For exhaust I have 3 on the top and one at the back, all 140mm

[cold elbow]

Im bullying you for having a massive water cooling setup and one exaust fan

[silent mason]

I might need to replace my case fans with Noctua equivalents.

[civic cloud]

Noctua fans are great

Unfortunately no rgb

:(

[cold elbow]

Get Arctic p12 value pack

Perform like a noctua for fraction of the price

[silent mason]

I'd need to see comparisons. But likely if I replace the Lian Li fans it'll be for Noctua only.

[cold elbow]

Arctic fans needs more attention

They're so damn good

[silent mason]

Unless the Arctic fans perform better than Noctua.

(Price not a consideration there)

[cold elbow]

1 nocua fan is 32$

Arctic 7$

[civic cloud]

Do you want to fund my next PC

[cold elbow]

Also arctic fans looks better

[silent mason]

Arctic could be $1 a fan and Noctua $1000 a fan. If the Noctua performs better it'd still be worth it to me.

[cold elbow]

And they have rgb version

They even release chainable fans

[silent mason]

How does the daisy chain work?

[cold elbow]

U just stick a fan to the other and they work

[silent mason]

On the Arctic. I use LL Unifans ATM, so use their daisy chain (cable free)

[civic cloud]

How do you daisy chain without cables? 🤨

[silent mason]

Like they clip straight onto each other with no cable, except except the end of the strip

[cold elbow]

They have pins

[civic cloud]

That's smart ngl

[silent mason]

Ah, so they work same as LL Unifans then Melon?

Do they come with a hub?

[cold elbow]

Yeah i guess

Im not a big fan of rgb but i know these exist

[silent mason]

I'd want a hub for the RGB, and it'd need to sync with Asus.

[cold elbow]

Dude

Why would u think about that when commander pro exists

[silent mason]

Because I avoid iCUE. I have it all synced to Synapse

[cold elbow]

Oh

[silent mason]

And for the PWM, I use Arnoury Crate

[civic cloud]

Why does an extension cable cost 70 bucks

What the hell

[silent mason]

I'm after the EKWB vertical GPU mount.

[cold elbow]

Extension for what

[civic cloud]

...pcie

[cold elbow]

Cus gen4?

[civic cloud]

Yes

It's just a cable smh

[cold elbow]

Yes gen 4 should cost more because they are a new category of products and they need much better components to make them

[civic cloud]

Yeah i guess my gpu will stay normal

[cold elbow]

Also before buying make sure it actually works

Keeping it normal is probably best anyways lol

[civic cloud]

It would look nicer vertically but a 70€ cable is ridiculous

[silent mason]

Yeah, mine will be a gen 3 cable, but may upgrade to gen 4 so I can use the G3 cable with a vertical RGB triple fan setup.

Because that's what my case needs, MORE RGB 😂

[civic cloud]

And more fans

[silent mason]

No room for any more fans

[cold elbow]

i think gen4 risers are still maturing and if you wait few month u might find something better and probably cheaper

[civic cloud]

Yes but if i wait a few months the loop will be completed already

And then I'd have to open it up etc etc

I should probably build in a drain port

Eh I'll think about that once i have to maintain it

[cold elbow]

u going hard tubes? i hope not

[civic cloud]

No

@cold elbow is it normal to not be able to screw the compression fittings in 100%

Like with a tube in you can't screw them in completely

[cold elbow]

depends on the fitting and tubes

[civic cloud]

But there's no way I could get them tighter with just my hands

[cold elbow]

no need to tight them up a lot

just enough to not leak

[civic cloud]

Oki

[cold elbow]

matt black tubes would look amazing

[civic cloud]

EK has ZMT but that's 16/10 instead of the 13/10 i need

My current tubing isn't fully clear, so i think it will look cool as well

Not fully frosted like the tubes from Corsair tho

[little parcel]

@level

[ebon wigeon]

I bought the Rgb fans

And they’re stupid

I can’t even get them to light up without a £60 hub thing for one fan

[brave field]

Your motherboard doesn't have a header? Are these those fancy branded fans with non-standard connectors as a "feature?"

[junior flax]

Why buy rgb

I have nzxt blue fans that came with my pc

[civic cloud]

Corsair Software is like Apple

Doesn't work with non Corsair things

And you can't use other software for Corsair stuff as well

[junior flax]

honestly idk but my gpu after gaming for like 8 hours is at 40 0c

and heavy gaming

[arctic yarrow]

NZXT used to make good cases, like the Phantom series back in 2013. They've gone downhill ever since then.

[junior flax]

i have an nzxt white case

its got some fat fans

it came when i bought my pc with it

atleast i think its nzxt

[arctic yarrow]

Hell, I had a Source 530 on my previous build, and it was pretty amazing.

[junior flax]

i think this is my case?

idk

tho

actually ye it is

shit runs like a beast gpu aint going above 42 c

but mines got 2 fat fans at the top

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, that's one of the old phantom cases, back when NZXT wasn't a steaming pile of shit.

[junior flax]

ye i love this case

gtx 970

cpu is i5 4690k

2tb hdd 500gb ssd

and 16gbs of ram

[civic cloud]

Well

You're a lil late with that information

[lost fossil]

i wanted to respond to that like 11 hours ago but i forgot

[civic cloud]

That would have been too late as well, dw <3

[lost fossil]

now u know about these tho

[civic cloud]

Yes

But wouldn't it need to be a female sata

Wait no male is right

Got confused for a sec

while looking for this cable for u i found nearly exactly what i needed like 2 months ago

[civic cloud]

What kind of abomination is that

Why would anyone want that

[lost fossil]

a usb charging port that can provide more current than a typical phone charger

[civic cloud]

Just buy a bigger charger for your phone

[lost fossil]

buying a high wattage phone charger is much more expensive than buying this and connecting it to the pc power supply

[civic cloud]

But you have to have your case open

[lost fossil]

i need it for a 5v led strip

no i can just run it through the psu hole and kinda squeeze it

[civic cloud]

[lost fossil]

or i could just run it through one of the expansion slot covers

[civic cloud]

Hm

Fair enough i guess

Why do you need to charge your phone that fast tho

[lost fossil]

[civic cloud]

The LED strip didn't come with a power brick?

[brave field]

gross

MOLEX to SATA, lose all your data

IS there something that rhymes with SATA and works for a pump?

[civic cloud]

Lump

🤝

Lump still works even after edit

[lost fossil]

so it will be sata to molex to usb to barrel plug

[brave field]

sounds nice and dangerous

[civic cloud]

Thanks I hate it

You couldn't find one from sata to USB?

[lost fossil]

no

the problem is that if you search sata to usb then all you get is external storage drive adapters

it becomes literally impossible to find a power only adapter like this

[civic cloud]

Ah yeah

Good luck tho :D

[lost fossil]

there's this

actually using molex for this is better bc i can easily move the pin to 12v or 5v depending on what i need to connect

won't work so easily with sata

[jovial tide]

yea molex best for accessories, you can make it all by yourself tho, dont buy these things, you can solder a 3 way switch to switch between 5 n 12 without hassle

[brave field]

ironically your own soldering job is probably less likely to set your house on fire too

[junior flax]

I rlly need to get a surge protector

[jovial tide]

yea thats a must tbh, although all today's PSUs and switching power supplies have included the surge protection circuit themselves, but nobody likes them to trigger, they only should be considered as the last resort to protect the devices.

[arctic yarrow]

My case has some holes covered in rubber intended to mount an external radiator, I can see me fitting a usb cord through that.

[civic cloud]

But you're not oleg

So unless you're giving him your case...

[pallid yacht]

Hey I need some help

Not sure how much you can bend a data cable

Can I can’t post pictures here so

[vapid grove]

You can usually bend things until they break

[pallid yacht]

Ok

[jovial tide]

like what? sata cables?

[lost fossil]

your desktop will look like

you can bend computer cables a good amount but of course it's better to not bend them too tight

[jovial tide]

especially where the connector is connected

[lost fossil]

yeah i lost a sata connector on one of my add-in sata controllers like that

[fervent granite]

yeah try doing that with apple cables and see how far that gets you

[cursive epoch]

And Another One

[arctic yarrow]

You're rich, we get it xD

[severe kernel]

who here likes to hack into gta

as well

jk

[kindred temple]

Jokes are meant to be funny

[vapid grove]

You know you're a black hat when you've learned how to download a menu

[jovial tide]

[tall dome]

so you know the limits placed by California I mentioned, I found something INTERESTING about Monitors and what their regulation is

less than 1.2W under sleep load, BUT the G Sync monitors all have 14.2W while not showing anything on screen in sleep mode

Free syncs all do 0W since it's software based

Nvidia is gonna have to change up G Sync entirely to fit for California

[jovial tide]

doesn't sound right

it also wears the parts at a double speed

[tall dome]

don't believe me?
someone already measured ithttps://youtu.be/Gxs5YxY2xXI

when he was measuring voltage on G Sync screens, it was 14.2W

around 13.00 in the video

[jovial tide]

oh Watts, i thought u mean Volts

[tall dome]

My bad

[jovial tide]

but still, thats something that should be addressed

14 watts on sleep mode is like too much, not sure what circuit scheme those gsync modules use

[zealous pasture]

so i need a laptop under 1k usd which can do everything(game, work, etc)

[tepid solar]

Heyo i need some help rq

I wanna upload a image on social club as a crew image but my developer code isn't working

[civic cloud]

They patched that as far as i know

You can get some websites for you to do that
