[crude jewel]

btw 2.3kg 15.6 inches

[lilac heath]

Use ryzen controller to lock temps if u have an amd cpu

Or use intel xtu to undervolt if u an Intel

[crude jewel]

it just has an application named armory crate

that has manual options for

[lilac heath]

For?

[crude jewel]

SPL and SPPT

and fan speed controller

[crude jewel]

like pl1 and pl2

in intel

Sustained Power Limit

Slow Package Power Tracking Limit

im not very good with tweaking these options and am scared of blowing something up so didnt mess with them

also when i close the armory crate program, my laptop stops using the loaded settings and runs on some random settings

[lilac heath]

[crude jewel]

yeah its messed up

I wish i didnt have to buy a laptop

so can u pls link some stands

[lilac heath]

Cooling pad would be a better option tho

[crude jewel]

Ive always heard bad reviews about them

that theyre just waste of money

no good airflow

tho ill have to get something

else my laptop will catch fire anytime im afk

[lilac heath]

[crude jewel]

wow

well thanks

for searching it in my region

[lilac heath]

Cost of cooling pad is almost similar to the normal stand

[crude jewel]

well idk what should i buy

do they have much difference?

also how to open bios, none keys from f1 to f12 work

[willow aurora]

gotta do it in advance startup

[crude jewel]

hows that done?

[cold elbow]

F

Cooling pads or stands wont do u shit

[digital pike]

@crude jewel what are your specs

or what laptop is it specifically

[small mural]

He did say before he had a Ryzen 9 5900HX

[digital pike]

and a 3080?

hmm

I mean he can use CTR to put a more thermally sensible clock on it

that's what I did with my 5800X

I'm running a wraith RGB cooler and it works just fine

CPU usually sits at 25ish over ambient during common loads, goes up to 45ish over ambient during harder loads

ofc this is in a desktop

so your mileage will vary

but you can definitely get 90-100% of the original clocks with way less temps if you're smart

[crude jewel]

Asus Rog strix scar 15 r9 5900hx 3080 8gb gddr6 dimm ddr4 8gb(1600mhz*2) 1tb Intel pcie ssd

Its a laptop btw so I'm scared to change anything

[crude jewel]

[digital pike]

I don't believe you have to be scared of changing things

CTR's Phoenix makes OCing relatively simple

[crude jewel]

Okay

How to do that

[digital pike]

https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/clocktuner-2-1-for-ryzen-(ctr)-guide,1.html

but I should check if it supports the hx

@crude jewel don't think it does, you might want to undervolt your CPU by -80 mv and adjust the fan curve, as well as using MSI afterburner to change the GPU's clocks as well

though the bios should also offer some headroom there

said bios should provide you with relatively safe clocking options, unless you wanna go full manual

[crude jewel]

It's a Asus Rog product so it has a software that can tweak a few things

SPL and SPPT

I'm not able to open bios

If i had a really small desk i would go for tkl but my desk is big enough to hold a 100%, 60% keyboards are just stupid and lack most of the keys i use on a daily basis

[civic cloud]

That's why you get a 80%

smh

[analog wharf]

the loss of the numpad can be handled by rebinding, but I just cant stand a 60% since it removes like almost half of the keys i actually use on a daily basis

[civic cloud]

Yes you've said that

but i mean

didn't ryzen 1000 get shit for shitlet design

so with that in mind why is single ccd bad?

[brave field]

A single CCD isn't bad outside of lowered L2/L3 cache amount. They should be faster since they can avoid inter-CCX latencies and such

Being single-CCD and 6c12t is weird though, the old CCXs were 4c8t and the Zen2 CCDs are 8c16t, so this means they're spending the GOOD yields of CCDs on this chip. Why bin CCDs with 6 good cores when you could use two with 3/4 good cores instead?

[lost fossil]

so it's a cache issue

[brave field]

no clue on the actual performance cause. Looks like a 3600, is specced like a 3600, same arch as a 3600, runs much worse 🤷🏿‍♂️

[supple walrus]

Ah

As having 2 ping roles was too confusing

[supple walrus]

[echo mural]

We should just accept staff pings, we're mods

So that's the course we're taking

Can still ping mods that are shown in online staff hoist

Like you did

[supple walrus]

Ngl I probably shouldve used staff ping for ip pullers

[arctic yarrow]

Wait, that txt doc was an IP puller?

[echo mural]

No the link was actually safe

[jovial tide]

wait till you realise all links pull ips

[brave field]

NGINX and Apache, commercially supported "ip loggers"

[jovial tide]

oh, we're talking about "ip loggers"?

i thought we were talking about "ip puller"s

Pull means to take, and all websites do that, all websites take your IP and use it to connect you or forward content to you

[brave field]

I do wish there was some way to remove stigmas around IP addresses

public addresses are public intentionally

[jovial tide]

yeah theyre pretty harmless in the hands of criminals

well, kinda

they can inconvenience someone, a school, a library, etc.. but thats about it, and only for a few minutes at a time

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, your IP address is kinda... already open. Especially in gta online.

Hell, you can grab the ip address of everyone in the lobby by pulling up windows resource manager.

[jovial tide]

is gta online's way of hosting game servers unique? or do other games do it this way? it seems so hacky

[arctic yarrow]

GTA online makes someone a host, and everyone else connects to them.

[jovial tide]

yeah

[brave field]

unique in that there are two hosts per session, not unique in that its peer to peer

[jovial tide]

oh, so a lot of games do p2p?

[arctic yarrow]

Yup, one of the reasons why COD requires you to change NAT settings to connect to more people.

[jovial tide]

i honestly thought most game servers were dedicated, but i come from a position of playing minecraft as my main game for years, which is all dedicated

[arctic yarrow]

MMOs are almost exclusively server based, while matchmade games are split.

[lilac heath]

[brave field]

can the world please go all ipv6 publicly now?

Every person on the planet can rotate through 25 public ipv6 addresses per day and we won't run out

[arctic yarrow]

But.... My server hosting would be fucked.

[brave field]

Mine too, but it would force my ISP to stop disabling the ability to make ipv6 firewall exceptions in their modems

Why would yours break?

[arctic yarrow]

If I had to rotate IPv6 addresses.

[brave field]

you get to keep your long-term one each device has though

[arctic yarrow]

Tru

[brave field]

just get the rotating ones for people who like playing their games

Chrome tends to request one for each window you have open if multiple google accounts are signed in...

[arctic yarrow]

If we abandoned ipv4 and went with ipv6 only we'd all have to use domains tho since ain't nobody gonna type in an IPv6 address to connect to a minecraft server.

[brave field]

I wouldn't mind, as long as we get some sort of non-abusive TLD provider

the .tk domains are cool until they decide to beg you for your ID or have your domain get turned into a porn redirect

[arctic yarrow]

Well, I pay $20 per year for my domain.

I think... lemme check the billing rq

[brave field]

oooh, where?

[arctic yarrow]

Godaddy

[brave field]

I have a .tech but renewal for one year is >$40 :(
I get a free domain per year, so I guess I'll domainhop until I find a good cheap one

[jovial tide]

[arctic yarrow]

It's whack using your domain for literally everything tho. I have an MC server, a valheim server, and an FTP server set up with it.

I basically can forget what my public IP address is.

[brave field]

MB/s vs mbps vs Mibps, why do we consumers let every ISP, NIC manu, and drive manu get away with being vague all the time?

[jovial tide]

thought my internet was faster than it was

[lilac heath]

[spare fulcrum]

What the actual fuck is this chat even. I don’t understand half of these letters or words. I understand what USB and HDMI is 😂😂

[brave field]

104.8576 Mbps == 13.10725 MB/s == 100MiBps
When you see "100 MB/s" advertised anywhere, you get none of these. You instead get 100Mbps. Its awful.

These are measurements of data transfer @spare fulcrum
Megabits per second, megabytes per second, mebibytes per second, etc

[arctic yarrow]

I'm probably a little biased as I work at an ISP currently, but I think it makes sense to advertise as Mbps instead of MBps. That's how many bits, or zeros or ones, you can transmit down the line at the time, while a byte is 8 bits, the size of an ASCII character.

Most ISPs (from my experience) advertise Mbps, but phone reps do confuse the two and say MBps instead.

@brave field what ISPs are you referring to when you claim they're being vague on speeds? I'd like to take a look at their website.

[brave field]

I'm frustrated more with NICs right now than ISPs, admittedly. "100MB/s" ethernet port on this mobo is in fact 100Mibps

I think it would be cool if everyone could just pick one measurement to use and stick to it

[arctic yarrow]

OK, yeah, that's stupid. From my experience on the residential side there's 100mbps NICs, 1gbps NICs, and 2.5gbps NICs.

i used to be on a 1060 3gb i upgraded to a 6600xt lol

[jovial tide]

The 1060 is the earliest generation of graphics card capable of ray tracing

[civic cloud]

"capable"

If you want to play with 5 fps

[jovial tide]

Capable meaning it has access to that tech

However no, it does actually allow games like BFV and Watch Dogs Legion to play with Ray Tracing enabled just fine

Albeit at low settings, but with Ray Tracing enabled nonetheless

[analog wharf]

If you’re ok with slideshow graphics preset then yes

[jovial tide]

again, depends what game you want to use it on lol

[brave field]

Why do DXR and VKRT limit which GPUs you can use when all other software with raytracing doesn't care what GPU you have?

[twin badger]

In GTA specifically?

Because the same thing happens for me. I have tried 3 different cards - R9 270X, GTX 1060 and an RX 480, between all the performance is identical on low settings and in an online session

[arctic yarrow]

A lot of times low settings can have the exact same fps as medium or high settings depending on your hardware. It's all about how much you're utilizing it.

[twin badger]

Well, in case of GTA i think its more depending on your CPU

rather than GPU

[arctic yarrow]

Yes, but there are some graphical settings that utilize your gpu.

[twin badger]

I know, i think it was mainly MSAA, shaders etc.

Grass aswell i think

[arctic yarrow]

Pretty sure grass is for CPU, but I'll need to double-check

[twin badger]

Typically in benchmarks grass is what tanks the FPS, even on good CPU's

[jovial tide]

Yup (GTA online), hence the CPU bottleneck

[civic cloud]

GTA online is such an embarrassment of optimization

Got a 3900X and a 3080 and I can barely get above 80 fps in an online session

Meanwhile it's basically locked 188 in story mode

Fucking joke

[twin badger]

True, literally any card will tank down to 60 fps

[civic cloud]

It's so hard CPU locked

Ridiculous

[jovial tide]

idk how cpu stuff works 100%.. but what would happen if you spent more money on a very highend CPU than a GPU and played a game like gta online? It's logical to think it'd perform better but I can imagine it would perform just as badly 😭

Ah, I forgot apt-get is outdated.

[brave field]

probably exists if you're on Ubuntu or others. A port of it in C, faster and lightweight

[arctic yarrow]

I'm using htop rn.

[cold elbow]

Linux users trying to install something ^

[brave field]

htop is probably fine though

ugly, but readable unlike top

btop and bpytop are just pretty graphs

[arctic yarrow]

hmm, I get this message:

Try "snap install bpytop"

[brave field]

smells like Ubuntu?

Don't get the snap, not worth

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, Zorin OS specifically

btop is available only as a snap too.

I guess I'll keep using htop

[brave field]

grab btop++ from here https://github.com/aristocratos/btop
or bpytop if you'd prefer to just run a python module https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop#installation

very easy installs for both

[arctic yarrow]

Maybe I should test it out on my laptop before applying it to my server.

They're both running the same OS

if you've installed a virus, I'd recommend running Windows Defender

[lost fossil]

computer is already connected to the ground thanks to gravity and as for fans it doesn't matter unless you make them spin at like 500000 rpm

[lost fossil]

the amount of rotation that you induce on these fans by blowing them with an air compressor is not enough to generate enough current to fry your motherboard

cheap fans tho

so normally it's not a concern

[arctic yarrow]

Cleaned out my computer after putting it off for 2 years, also found out I had one of my fans on my rad oriented the wrong way.

No wonder it was hitting 80-85c on the CPU

Oh fuck, it's still bad.

Prime95 tho

Maybe I should look into delidding it eventually.

[civic cloud]

Damn 99

What cooler?

[arctic yarrow]

Corsair H150i

[civic cloud]

and you hit 99 degrees???

[arctic yarrow]

Yup

[civic cloud]

Are you're you removed the plastic lid!

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, I'm sure

[civic cloud]

Seems awfully high for such a potent cooler

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, which makes me think I should try to delid. I might have a bad paste job under the IHS.

[civic cloud]

I couldn't get above 80 with my 3900XT

[arctic yarrow]

It's a 7700k

[civic cloud]

didn't know they run that hot

Did you forget thermal paste? xD

[arctic yarrow]

Nope, got Arctic silver 5.

[civic cloud]

Fancy

Maybe it's just broken 🤝

Are you using fans which didn't come with the aio?

Maybe you did a lil oopsie and you're using airflow fans

[arctic yarrow]

Nah, it came with the AIO

And they spin

[civic cloud]

Oh well I'm out of ideas then

Maybe check the pump settings

At which speed it is running

[arctic yarrow]

Ah, my pump was running in quiet mode at 1020 RPM. Now it's set up at 2850 RPM.

I'll see if that fixed it.

I also had my fans plugged into the motherboard instead of the cable on the pump 💀

I need to jump out of RDR2 first before testing prime95 again

Holy shit, my game's FPS improved tho

[cold elbow]

Dude all these issues you have

Also arctic liquid freezer ii master race

[arctic yarrow]

Well, that definitely improved it.

I was using that AIO at less than it's full potential for the longest time

💀

This is running prime95 btw

[cold elbow]

Still pretty toasty for a 7700k

[jovial tide]

prime95 is a pretty stressful tester tho, so it should really never reach those temps when doing normal things like gaming

[arctic yarrow]

My temps when playing RDR2. It usually got up to 85c before.

[cold elbow]

Great

Also why would you plug your fans to the mobo when you have H150i

[arctic yarrow]

Because I was being stupid when I built it in 2019.

[cold elbow]

Ahh

Icue is pretty cool

It can target cpu or gpu temp for fans

[jovial tide]

i like how it changes rgb color to match the temps

cool for the radiator especially

[arctic yarrow]

I'm a heathen who turns off the LEDs on it entirely.

[jovial tide]

so do you have 0 rgb on in your case?

[arctic yarrow]

Yes.

The only LED lighting up is the power button.

[jovial tide]

damn

so you have like all noctua fans or somethin?

[arctic yarrow]

No, I have 3 corsair fans for the rad, and two case fans that came with my case.

Antek

[cold elbow]

And your case is?

[arctic yarrow]

I need to double-check the case itself, one sec

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

[cold elbow]

Looks pretty outdated and restricted

[brave field]

5.25in bay moment

honestly, they should come back
just for hotswap drive slots, or storage drawers

[jovial tide]

can't beat a corsair case

[cold elbow]

Im guessing your fan in the back is exhaust?

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah.

Intake on the front

[cold elbow]

So 1 intake

4 exhaust

For the CPU that exhaust in the back is probably hurting temps or not doing anything

[arctic yarrow]

So I should have intake on both the back and the front, with the exaust out the top?

[cold elbow]

Stopping it might improve temps

Making it intake might hurt gpu temps

[arctic yarrow]

GPU temp is 73c on 100% load.

[cold elbow]

Try stopping it and test
Seal it completely and test

[jovial tide]

wonder what removing that rear fan would do

so intake is nearly equal to exhaust

[cold elbow]

It's better to make some negative pressure so the air gets in from below the gpu

[upper marlin]

I feel so dumb now

I didnt know i should of full reset it

[lost fossil]

my case has tooling for a 5.25 bay but the entire front panel is solid glass

but there is another case from silverstone with the same dimensions that has a 5.25 bay so i guess

[civic cloud]

Sleepy and autocorrect doesn't mix well ok 🥺

[civic cloud]

Why do you buy the RGB version if you don't want RGB

Also glad it's working now :)

[jovial tide]

there's a non-rgb version of the h150i?

[lost fossil]

get h150i

then get noctua

[jovial tide]

more money = less better

[arctic yarrow]

I wanted RGB at one point, then turned it off when I got sick of it and decided to no longer care about aesthetics.

[civic cloud]

That's fair

[civic cloud]

Corsair has non RGB versions of their aios, yes
They are about 10 bucks cheaper :)

[lost fossil]

but have you tried signal rgb with some tame idle effect

[jovial tide]

didnt know that tbh

[civic cloud]

Have you tried not bullying us for once Oleg 🥺😭

[lost fossil]

not like these cringe ass visualiser rgb effects thatt make your pc look like dis

[civic cloud]

A little rave doesn't hurt

[arctic yarrow]

The only visuals I care about now are what's being output on my monitor.

[lost fossil]

agreege but a lot of rave all the time gets boring eventually

put rgb behind your monitor

[civic cloud]

Yeah fair, most songs are quite similiar lol

[arctic yarrow]

[lost fossil]

i didn't mean as in songs get boring

i meant the rgb effects in your case

[civic cloud]

Ambient light is neat, why are you vomitting

[jovial tide]

blue gives me 50 extra frames in gta

[light totem]

[lost fossil]

that's marginally false though

[civic cloud]

orange and pink make sense tho

horny oleg

[lost fossil]

white draws the most current so if you put white on your gpu, there will be less power available for the graphics chip

[civic cloud]

LEDs get their own connector

at least mine has because its a waterblock

hehe

[lost fossil]

if you have total board power of 350w, and 50w of it is for all the shit on the pcb, that's 300w for the chip

but if you set all rgb to white then there will be less than 300w available for the chip

[jovial tide]

thats one way to limit power hungry gpus

[lost fossil]

and that's not good

hi jake

[warm panther]

Hello

So actually funny enough I’m only 16 and I am a self taught programmer

[muted grove]

oh

i’m 17 lol

[fair condor]

It's worth it

[muted grove]

last year of school

[warm panther]

I don’t really have an actual job unless you want to count me doing devwork for gtao as one

[warm panther]

Do you wanna do programming or IT?

Because they are pretty different

[fair condor]

You can actually earn a good job from being a programmer

[warm panther]

It’s one of the easiest professions to earn 6 figures in imo

[fair condor]

Facts. Only issue is you need some experience, skills, and practice.

[warm panther]

Yeah but all of that is free

That’s what I love about programming

Open source software

[muted grove]

[broken aspen]

anyone know what specific storage would do me better for this?

[analog wharf]

whats your use case

first off, prices are dropping and you can actually get a custom built for a decent price and second off if you play games you'll defo benefit from a larger drive

[broken aspen]

yes gaming

but what kind of drive

[analog wharf]

meh

i would go for a custom built

if you have to go with a prebuilt ( you dont know how to build a pc) try searcing for a 6600XT prebuilt if possible.

A 6600XT with smart access memory enabled will almost always outperform the 3060 in gaming.

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/scan-gamer-rx-amd-ryzen-5-5600x-16gb-ddr4-8gb-amd-radeon-rx-6600-xt-1tb-m2-ssd-win-10-see-info

dis sound good?

to you

its got a 6600xt and r5 5600x, a pretty good pair

also, a 1tb NVME ssd (the one you found was only 512gb)

[broken aspen]

idk shit about anything man

[analog wharf]

lol

I'd recommend this over the one you found

[small mural]

A bigger SSD

[vital rapids]

This bot has been programmed to message and call every single unit on the viral message and calling app discord, if you heard the code please repeat.

[analog wharf]

Yea, i managed to find them a prebuilt with a bigger ssd

[broken aspen]

can i even order from there? im from the us

[analog wharf]

idk

Wait

imma search more

unfortunately its impossible to find a good prebuilt when searching on amazon

Jus check if you can order from there

[broken aspen]

i am pretty set on buying the one i showed. i just wanna know if i should upgrade to ssd or hdd

[analog wharf]

hmm

i would recommend searching more

A 6600xt will defo outperform the 3060 when sam is enabled

[small mural]

The ryzen 5 will also outperform intel

[analog wharf]

but, if you cant find one that ships to the us i would stick with that one and upgrade the NVME ssd to a 1tb and get a mechanical drive for storing games on

[broken aspen]

will it be around the same price?

[small mural]

AMD CPU and GPU are cheaper I believe

Let me check

[analog wharf]

amd cpu and gpuss often are more efficient aswell

[small mural]

AMD is just better in general

[analog wharf]

True

[small mural]

Wait

[broken aspen]

what gen of ryzen 5?

[small mural]

The R5 5600X is more expensive than the i5-11400F

[analog wharf]

Eh

By how much?

[small mural]

MSRP is $300

[analog wharf]

lol

[small mural]

Compared to $157 of the 11400F

[broken aspen]

i dont even know anymore

i came here for reassurance and now im back to square one

[analog wharf]

Honestly i would get the amd one if i were you

not exactly a 5600x, instead the one with integrated graphics but its got the 6600xt

[small mural]

You could get the previous gen AMD chip I guess

Ryzen 3000 is still decent

[broken aspen]

cool i got it

tytytyty

[analog wharf]

the 3060ti does slightly outperform the 6600xt, but not by enough to make it a better option imo. The amd card will be more efficient and should still net you enough fps

with rt off on both cards, the difference just isnt huge enough imo

[arctic yarrow]

This a good upgrade list?

I'm upgrading from a 7700k on a z270 motherboard.

[lost fossil]

what about a 9900k engineering sample from aliexpress

although, even with double the cores, considering how intel advanced since then, it wouldn't be much of an upgrade

[arctic yarrow]

Hmm, would a 5700x be better worth it?

[lost fossil]

i still say x570 is 90% useless

when b550 has pci 4 for your gpu and main ssd, that's all that u need

[arctic yarrow]

What if I want to eventually move up to a 5950x?

[civic cloud]

Buying a new 5950X when AM5 socket is just around the corner? Tough choice

Maybe go for used CPU/mobo

[arctic yarrow]

Yup, but I do have to upgrade in the next little bit (I lost a bet)

[civic cloud]

why do you have to upgrade if you lose a bet?

[arctic yarrow]

Cuz the person I lost the bet to gets my current CPU, RAM, and motherboard.

[civic cloud]

lmao what

[arctic yarrow]

I was intending to upgrade anyway, and wouldn't have sold that hardware so, I'm technically not out of anything but the next upgrade cycle 😛

I wasn't expecting him to finish Halo Infinite LASO so soon.

[lost fossil]

get a beefier b550 board ez

would be a better value than buying x570

[arctic yarrow]

how about this one?
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ROG-B550-F-Motherboard-Addressable/dp/B088W7RKVZ/

[lost fossil]

that's more expensive than the msi x570 that you showed initially

in that case i have no idea

if you find a good x570 for cheap then get

i expected b550 to be like 30-40 $ cheaper

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, the ones with good VRMs are about the same or more expensive than x570 boards.

[lost fossil]

in that case whatever fits the bill

i didn't educate myself enough on the intel side, i just know that 12400/f is good value for gaming

[brave field]

I'm thinking of something useful

[jovial tide]

Ohh, then yeah idk

I'm not sure what's even in a PSU

[cold elbow]

Yooooo wtf

[cold elbow]

Recycling would be a useful thing to do.

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, I'll obviously need to recycle, but would it be a bad thing to pull the fans out and cut the cables coming out of the PSU?

[cold elbow]

Fan is useful yeah

[arctic yarrow]

I was also thinking of using the cables coming off the PSU itself to create adapters if needed, like molex to PCI-e or other PSU connections. This dead PSU is not modular.

[cold elbow]

I would not recommend that unless you know what you are doing

[arctic yarrow]

I'd definitely need to consult a couple datasheets before implementing it, but I'm confident in my ability to do it.

Make sure I'm connecting the correct voltages and grounds.
