[lusty hinge]

any fans will get the job done for literally any pc as nothing out there is gonna need some crazy fans lmfao

unless youre running quad 3090 set up any fans work

brand also means nothing

and unless your case is solid front youll have enough airflow for a pc to be alright

[shell bay]

Has nothing to do with it. The i5 is an example i used. a mid tier pc with those specs dont make insane heates to run 6 fans.

[shell bay]

Thats the point i pointed out pick any you like

[lusty hinge]

nothing needs 6 fans

anything past 1 exhaust 2 intake has diminishing returns

[shell bay]

The Brand is also important.. Customer experience waranty, reputation. + A LOT of people still run a solid front pc.

[lusty hinge]

unless youre buying asus brand means nothing

[shell bay]

If your specs are demanding it could decrease thermal throttling

[lusty hinge]

no. you really do not need 6 fans unless you have a bunch of 3090

[shell bay]

As i just mentioned. reputation

[lusty hinge]

every brand has a sketchy reputation

you dont decrease thermal throttling. you either are throttling, or arent.

if you are, youve either got a bad case and a hot room, or your cooler is on wrong

[shell bay]

lmao ngl i think ur dellusional

[lusty hinge]

there are no flawless brands out there

[lusty hinge]

i dont care what you think because i know im right

having more than 2 intake and 1 exhaust doesnt make much less of a difference compared to 6 intake 4 exhaust

as long as your case has decent flow and you room isnt hot youre fine with 3 fans

[shell bay]

this made me stop reading your text

[lusty hinge]

okay?

3090 draw a lot of power and easily get hot

[shell bay]

@sweet jasper Get on reddit read some forums you'll figure it out. Dont take recomendations from strangers xD do your own research

[lusty hinge]

compared to a 4090 youll likely find the 3090 running hotter and using more power

lmfao okay then

why would any sane person use reddit of all places for fan research

something like gamersnexus, techpowerup or toms hardware are good places.

this shows airflow through a radiator which can be informative

im sorry that you dont know what youre talking about.
but just because you dont know, doesn't mean i dont know.

those fan recommendations that i had given were good choices

[last island]

I am looking to build a PC and just went and put together a list, any thoughts? Would this somewhat work or is it just a bunch of electro scrap: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yZxFjH

[chrome wren]

What you using it for?

[last island]

Gaming, coding, virtual machines, most likely some pentesting and graphics design

[chrome wren]

Do you actually need 16 cores?

I'd personally got for a 7800x3D

[last island]

Most likely not, I will probably do that. I am a little bit out of date with the PC world, I just went and put together some stuff that I thought might work.

Do you have any other recommendations on what you would change?

[chrome wren]

Yeah, I'm making a list

Any reason why you went for that case?

[last island]

I currently have a Fractal Design Case and I like how it looks, so I went with one I kind of know already. Case is not that important for me aslong as it fits, has good airflow and preferably at least 1 USB-C Port

[chrome wren]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J9Nnz6

[last island]

Thank you very much, I'll def. look into this

[chrome wren]

Cheaper CPU: (That's better for gaming in 90% of cases)
Better CPU Cooler: These CPU's get HOT and the first limit on them is temps, if you cool it more, you get more performance (Out the box with no overclock) (Personally I would go custom watercooling or AIO over air coolers for Ryzen but this is more expensive)
GPU: I don't trust Zotac, so changed it
Cheaper PSU: Same watts

I have a 7900x and it IDLES at 45-55c with a 360mm AIO, with higher than normal fan curves. they get very hot

[last island]

I thought about maybe getting an AIO for the CPU, however from what I got they tend to be a bit louder in idle compared to air coolers and from what little research I did, the Dark Rock Elite or the Noctua NH-D15 should have enough cooling power to cool the CPU down. Installing an AIO is something I haven't done yet although I think I would manage, money is not really an issue with my build.

Is the cooling really that much bettter?

[last island]

The case seems to come with 3 fans, do you think it would be necessary/worth it to install more? The mainboard seems to have pins for 1 more

[chrome wren]

Really hard to find graphs for 360AIO vs DH15, but 7950x, gaming, AIO is 70c, DH15 at 100% is 78c

[last island]

Do you have any AIO you would recommend? I will probably make the decision about whether to use an AIO or a Cooler once I actually order parts.

[chrome wren]

Lian Li Galahad II Performance 360
Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 ARGB
Corsair iCUE H150i

More temp headroom you have with these CPU's, the better they will perform, as their target temp is max which will be the first CPU limiter, so cooler you can get it, higher it will perform

[last island]

I see. I'll probably make it a decision between noise/performance then.

I am not sure if I need an XL case, the GPU seems to fit with a normal case aswell

[lusty hinge]

erm

that list could be much cheaper

the 7800x3d also does not get hot

in fact, it is very easy to cool

the only am5 cpus that are "hot" are the 7900x and the 7950x

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wphqt7

@chrome wren @last island

could go even cheaper

but i didnt bother to change case, and kept full sized ATX board

custom water cooling typically never has much of an advantage, if any, over an aio

its very much an expensive aesthetic thing

its extremely enthusiast

[lusty hinge]

if you're aio shopping, you basically never need to look outside of thermalright.
in terms of noise normalised performance, a Core Matrix is the best. these are using stock fans.

Core Matrix > Frozen Edge > Frozen Magic Scenic V2 > Aqua Elite V3 > Frozen Prism > Frozen Notte

[lusty hinge]

yes

[indigo kiln]

yes what

???

[lusty hinge]

you didnt say anything?

you just said 4080

[lusty hinge]

is that in USD?

or are you using CAD or something

[indigo kiln]

it should be in usd

[lusty hinge]

are you from the US? or did you convert it

[indigo kiln]

convert pc

[lusty hinge]

alright.

so that price means nothing to me

[lusty hinge]

no.

[indigo kiln]

nvm

[lusty hinge]

^

the 3060 is very bad value.

if you get it on ebay for cheap, sure. but you shouldnt consider buying it brand new

the 12gb of vram on it means literally nothing

[indigo kiln]

i kniow

[lusty hinge]

so why do you keep mentioning it?

[indigo kiln]

idk

https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Multiple-Arc-Graphics-Card-Dual-Arc-A770/m-p/1612180/highlight/true#M132495

[lusty hinge]

shared vram sounds rubbish

there is literally no point in it

genuinely 0 point

[devout wolf]

doesn't NVLink already do this

[chrome wren]

Why would anyone want an Arc GPU, biggest waste of money ever

I'd rather use my AMD iGPU than an Arc

[lusty hinge]

arc gpus are great

granted if your budget is more than like

500 dollars

they dont even need to be considered

but theyre great

tbf, the newer ones could actually have much more use than the current ones

[wet agate]

I need a pc expert here, friend bought a voltage regulator thats says 14 volts 120w on the box, call me crazy but i dont think he should plug his 600w power supply pc to that

Or maybe he could IDK

Its a koblenz er2250, it says desktop computer and other devices on the box, i just think theres a better safer option for him at roughly the same price

CyberPower CL2000VR 2000VA/1000W voltage regulator is the one ive had for a few years now and ive had no issues with it

[chrome wren]

Yeah, don't plug that in

[wet agate]

Aight im forwarding this mssg rn, thx

[chrome wren]

Why do you need a voltage regulator in the first place

[wet agate]

Shoddy electrical infrastructure and constant power outages as of the last 2 months in certain regions of Mexico

Better safe than sorry

[chrome wren]

I'd buy a UPS if that's the case

[wet agate]

No officials have come forward to explain anything so idk why these have been happening

Will look it up

[chrome wren]

It's a Uninterruptible Power Supply, basically a battery backup and has voltage regulation, so the PC will stay on, even with a black out for a set period of time (Depending on the one you buy and power usage of the PC etc etc)

Gives you enough time to finish what you're doing, save any work and safely turn the PC off

[wet agate]

Oooh i think i had one of those in 2008

It could last for 15 minutes and made beeps and screeching during those 15 or so mins

[chrome wren]

A small, modern one would keep a PC on for about 40 minutes, if it was using all 600W (Which in most cases, it's not using the full 600W)

Or you could get a large office sized one, which will keep it on for 1 hour 40 minutes, or enterprise one that would keep it on for 17 hours, but the bigger the capacity, the more it will cost

[wet agate]

I think something nice and simple would work alright, im looking at one that i would consider cheap that should keep it on for 20 or so mins

I think i found basically the same one i used to have back then, im surprised Vorago is a brand that still exists

[haughty vault]

@lusty hinge Im getting the parts today yeah, and I know I'll have to format the ssd, but with the ram. Do I need to anything for it to work or is it just plug'n play

[lusty hinge]

as long as the ram is in correctly it should just work

[haughty vault]

Oke

Well turns out my ram didn't come yet, but I'll torture my ol' hp compaq with ram installation

: D

Its smaller than I expected

I thought nvmes where the size of the package

[chrome wren]

It's SATA SSD's that are bigger

[haughty vault]

Ohhhh

Right

[last island]

I want to get a new monitor but can't decide between the LG UltraGear 27GP95RP-B, 27" and the LG UltraGear 27GR93U-B, 27"

Any insight would be appreciated about which one to choose

[haughty vault]

Samsung Odyssey G4

Very nice

I have it

But don't decide on my dumb opinion

[lusty hinge]

nope these guys are small and super fast

[last island]

Bro, I am trying to decide between 2 4k 140 hz monitors and you recommend a full hd 240hz one

[lusty hinge]

are they 4k oled?

4k is pretty mid outside of 4k oled types

so unless you really want 4k then id recommend 1440p ips/oled

im too lazy to search the models though lol

[haughty vault]

Its a 1440p oled 240hz

[lusty hinge]

thats awesome

[haughty vault]

Yea

Big difference than my Hp

[lusty hinge]

😎

[haughty vault]

The model is literally my nickname

Lol

60hz

Dreadful

[last island]

Which one?

[haughty vault]

I use two monitors 😎

Laptop monitor and Oddesy G4

Can't go back

[last island]

Because the only G4s I find online are full hd

[haughty vault]

Ah

[haughty vault]

Mines actually Ips not oled

[lusty hinge]

@last island what country

[last island]

Germany

[haughty vault]

Should be Ips dudee

[lusty hinge]

do you want 4k?

[haughty vault]

My market is from Lithuania

[lusty hinge]

i believe theres a good 4k oled on sale rn

i could check

[last island]

If possible yes

[last island]

that would be greatly appreciated

[lusty hinge]

is the AW3225QF available?

[last island]

Seems to be available however pretty expensive

[haughty vault]

Also could this be a monitor issue on one game? I play Warthunder and every time I get into a new match I get like a very saturated and different filter for like 10 seconds untill it goes into the default graphics

[lusty hinge]

ehhh any worthwhile 4k monitors gonna be pretty costly

what are you using it for?

you could get a 4k ips.. although it isnt really too worth

[lusty hinge]

do you have auto hdr on

sometimes its jank

[haughty vault]

Yea

[last island]

Why? Isn't 4k still 4k, even if it isn't Oled=

[haughty vault]

Otherwise everything is bad without it

[last island]

What would be some good wqhd monitors (or whatever is below 4k)?

[lusty hinge]

if youre buying 4K you usually want all the features from it. visually, its not usually worth it compared to a 1440P resolution monitor unless youre buying a 4K OLED

its basically just a "tldr if you want 4k you want all the features"

[last island]

But there is nothing bad about 4K IPS right, it's just that OLED is better?

[lusty hinge]

no, it isnt necessarily bad

its just that its never really worthwhile

if youre gaming a 1440p oled/ips is usually more worthwhile than a 4k ips

[last island]

I'll look into it

[lusty hinge]

S2722DGM

hows this?

wait, wrong one

EX2710Q

should be a good price

1440p IPS

[last island]

Price is not really the issue, If I am taking a wqhd Monitor I want it to at least be OLED

[lusty hinge]

ah, 2 seconds then

27GR95QE-B
240hz, 0.03ms response time (if that even matters to you) and is 1440p oled

its still kinda costly at 650 euros but thats oled

[last island]

OLED is kind of expensive, ngl. I was looking for something below 500€ and in that range as good as possible. If I spent above that, it's only going to be for 4k OLED

[lusty hinge]

if you wanted a 4k oled, a "cheap" one is at like 1.3k euros, but its pretty large at 47 inches.
the asus pg42uq at 42 inches is 1.5k euros

what do you need the monitor for?

gaming?

[last island]

LG UltraGear OLED 27GR95QL-B, League of Legends Edition, 26.5"

Sounds pretty interesting

[last island]

Gaming, Coding, Watching Videos/Movies/Stuff, maybe some Video Editing. 4K OLED is probably overkill for that.

[lusty hinge]

whats the price of that? it seems alright

[last island]

Nevermind, I do NOT want a League of legends monitor

[lusty hinge]

lmfao

i dont blame you

[lusty hinge]

gaming? you should probably lean towards a 1440p display. what gpu do you have?

[last island]

Right now a GTX 1660 super and an rtx 3060 Laptop, I am getting the Monitor together with a new PC with an RTX 4080 super

[haughty vault]

Lucky

I have a laptop that has a 4070 laptop

I think i heard that the laptop version is just an 80 but dumbed down no?

[lusty hinge]

a 4080 super? awesome.

i also have one.. which is why im currently also in the market for a 4k monitor.

personally, id recommend something like this (G2724D) if its available and then maybe save towards a 4k oled

[last island]

Saving is not the Problem, my theoretical budget for the entire PC is between 5-10K . It's just that I don't want to spent that much money on a monitor

[lusty hinge]

you could get a 4k ips if you wish, but if you're choosing a 4k display you're likely in it for the visual clarity. with a 4k IPS, you lose out on the looks of an oled panel. a 4K oled will bring you much darker darks and much nicer colours

[haughty vault]

If u have 10k for pc and things just go with a good monitor

[lusty hinge]

10k? wow. thats a lot of money. is this USD?

[last island]

I'll probably go with this one, this is as far as I am willing to go prize wise, seems like a good compromise between resolution and OLED: https://geizhals.de/lg-ultragear-oled-27gr95qe-b-a2850560.html?hloc=at&hloc=de

[last island]

Euro

I saved up money to be able to furnish a flat, but now I got one and it is projected to be much cheaper than expected

[lusty hinge]

a monitor may seem silly to spend a lot on but if you buy one, youd understand. if you wish, you could try shopping for a 4K oled TV. they might be a bit cheaper, but theyll provide the same visuals. you could then use the TV to play at 4k on visually pleasing games and then a 1440p monitor for other games

[lusty hinge]

looks awesome, seems alright

[last island]

I'll probably get that one for now and use my current monitor as a 2nd one, and once I have moved in and saved up some money, I'll get a 4K OLED

[lusty hinge]

that sounds like a good plan

you could always sell your current 1660 for a bit of extra cash if you wish

i hope you enjoy your new pc though, youll have no issue running at 1440p

[last island]

I'll probably convert my old PC into a server and sell the 1660, unless I find a friend who I can give the enetire PC to for cheap

[lusty hinge]

thats cool, using old hardware for new uses is always great

[last island]

My Raspberry Pi is always overheating when I try to host a modded minecraft server on it 😉

[lusty hinge]

haha, that pc should definitely do the job instead then

[hardy relic]

🇷🇸

[last island]

This is most likely what I will purchase (a few items at a time if they're for sale): https://geizhals.de/wishlists/3915466

[lusty hinge]

honestly isnt the worst. what do you need 64gb of ram for?

[last island]

VMs

[lusty hinge]

the NV2 is also complete ass

[lusty hinge]

makes sense

[last island]

really that bad?

[lusty hinge]

yeah.. its bad

its not even pcie 3 speeds

[last island]

I'll probably get a 1 TB Samsung 990 Pro then,

[lusty hinge]

mmmmmnah

ill take a look

[last island]

Probably not the best bang for the buck, but pretty reliable imo

[chrome wren]

I'd always go Samsung, WD Black or Firecuda or SSD's, just for their speeds, reliability and warranty

[lusty hinge]

totally depends on market

usually samsung is just god no territory

wd isnt too bad

[lusty hinge]

was this germany?

your ram market is... something

[chrome wren]

Most SSD's use samsung chips anyway

[lusty hinge]

but not all are nearly anywhere near as expensive as samsung

samsung ssds are just stupid

you can get so much cheaper

sometimes 1tb samsung ssds cost more than 2tb ssds

[chrome wren]

But reliablity and warranty is worth it over some sketchy cheaper brand

[lusty hinge]

who said sketchy

[chrome wren]

Your data can be important, if it is, storage isn't something you want to cheap out on

[lusty hinge]

i also never said cheaping out

where are you buying from that has no warranty??

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/QDprKX

i didnt put the monitor in i got lazy

[last island]

That SSD you put in is even slower than the kingston one

[lusty hinge]

no it isnt

i can change it

but it isnt

just because it says pcie 4 doesnt mean it is pcie 4

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/XFF4z6

changed ssd

[chrome wren]

I'm not buying from any of these brands

[lusty hinge]

lmfao why

SK hynix? silicon power?

do you even know what youre talking about?

[last island]

3500 read and 3000 write for the Lexar, kingston nv2 is basically the same

[lusty hinge]

SK Hynix and Silicon Power are complete leaders

SK Hynix makes the best dies

[lusty hinge]

nv2 isnt the same

yet again, just because it says it is, doesnt mean it is

[lusty hinge]

^

i changed ssd anyway

[lusty hinge]

it got worse the more i looked at it

you just selected everything that isnt samsung. which is known to be insanely overpriced

[chrome wren]

There's 15 brands that are on PCPartPicker that I would choose from

But at the end of the day, I only buy the best of the best at the time, so

[lusty hinge]

are they all perchance the brands id expect from prebuilts

samsung isnt even best of the best

you literally have SK Hynix de selected

do you even know who they are?

lmfao

[chrome wren]

No, prebuilts use ass random stuff to save money

And yes, I do

[lusty hinge]

they're on par, if not better than samsung and wd

[lusty hinge]

yeah i realised right after i sent it lol

im not explicitly saying youre wrong. youre somewhat right. samsung make good drives

but they are absolutely not as good as theyre made out to be

and absolutely aren't worth the price

they even had the uhh

self bricking issue a while back iirc

[last island]

I think this configuration is something I am happy with https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/6QjJKX,

[lusty hinge]

cheaper alternatives dont always mean worse

[lusty hinge]

looks great. case i only changed because i knew it was way cheaper. nothing wrong with that one.

how come you want that gpu?

nothing wrong with it

but its overpaying for the exact same thing

also its asus. but theyre fine for the EU

[last island]

It's just one I selected, my current GPU is from Palit. I'll probably change it to the Palit one

[lusty hinge]

fair enough

you can buy that one if you'd like

any 4080S works theyre all the same. its just that there is no reason to not choose the cheapest one

[chrome wren]

The first m.2 I ever bought is still at 100% health :)

[lusty hinge]

same lmfao

my hdd from god knows when is only at 98%

😎

[last island]

Same for me, but they're also still in use which is why I canÄt just take them

[last island]

I am still using the HDD I took out of my laptop I had for school 15 Years ago

[lusty hinge]

epic

[chrome wren]

I've had this SSD for 5 and a half years, use it as a secondary SSD now though as I bought a faster one

[lusty hinge]

hell yeah

personally waiting for another vi5000 to arrive

[chrome wren]

I'm personally waiting for the new Japanese internet and atomic clocks in every PC and server

[lusty hinge]

i should have bought this one though

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RFQMqm
full list cuz mobile

4TB for sub £200

[chrome wren]

Japan beat the download speed record recently with 402 Tbps download

[lusty hinge]

@chrome wren , how silly do you think a custom loop would like with an mATX board in a King 95?

[lusty hinge]

lmfao really??

thats insane

[pulsar fossil]

Mine is 5 ish years old and at 93%

[lusty hinge]

93%? unusable. send it my way and buy a new one

[pulsar fossil]

LOL

[lusty hinge]

god you must be facing so many issues with 93% trust me thats a huge red flag

[chrome wren]

Any mATX board in a normal sized case looks goofy, so with a custom loop it would look extra goofy

[lusty hinge]

😎

idk if i can be arsed to pay £220 for a white board

[chrome wren]

I just hope ever PC and server has atomic clocks in the near future

[lusty hinge]

power a pc with a bit of uranium

[chrome wren]

every*

It would reduce ping massively

[lusty hinge]

it would

personally i wouldnt notice

i get 5 ping wireless

5 ping

am i a droid

[pulsar fossil]

Heh

I think I'll keep it

[lusty hinge]

last time i used that software i accidently downloaded the wrong one

[chrome wren]

In an ideal world, with fiber the whole way, with a server in Australia (With an atomic clock) and my PC (In the UK with an atomic clock) I would have less that 1ms ping

[last island]

What software is that?

[lusty hinge]

imagine my surprise when i opened it up and there was some anime girl speaking to me

crystal disk it looks

[pulsar fossil]

CrystalDiskInfo

[lusty hinge]

fiber the whole way? ha. i was told my area would have fiber ages ago

if fiber means digging up the roads every month and blocking us in then yeah they succeeded

[chrome wren]

Can you imagine how good less than 1ms ping, from the other side of the planet would be though

[lusty hinge]

oh, can't forget the shoddy job of patchwork

[lusty hinge]

itd be insane

maybe i could finally get lobbies at 3am

[pulsar fossil]

I don't even get that to 1.1.1.1 reliably :D

[lusty hinge]

i either have to play a single player game or suffer 200ms for a lobby

[chrome wren]

How fast webpages would load, you'd be able to play games with anyone in the world without having 300 ping

Your PC would be faster with an atomic clock too, as it wouldn't be waiting on processes as much

[lusty hinge]

what a nerd. youve named your user?

i think mine is still just

new user

[chrome wren]

Facebook devs have made a working atomic clock, that is the size of a single slot GPU

It just needs to be standardized

[lusty hinge]

yeah but its facebook

does it count

[chrome wren]

It works so

[pulsar fossil]

It's microsoft account based

but yes I do :D

[chrome wren]

I named my user and my PC

[lusty hinge]

crazy

i name my pc

ill check if my user is named now

guess im a nerd too

lisqu

so awesome

[lusty hinge]

epic

my average is 11ms 😎

[last island]

This Laptop is like 2 years old :(, I think the drive does not like Heat

[lusty hinge]

laptop drives are funny yeah

91% isnt too bad though

[chrome wren]

Wish it was this for none local xD

[lusty hinge]

thats awesome

too lazy to check mine

[chrome wren]

With the new download speed record, you could download GTA V in 0.00214 seconds :O

100 times faster than it is for me to connect to an Australian server xD

[lusty hinge]

thats insane

havent played gta v in ages

i ran out of stuff to do

[chrome wren]

FiveM
Steam
Also had multiple rockstar accounts
And I majority played on xbox for the first like 5 years it was out.

[lusty hinge]

way too much

[chrome wren]

Also played on Xbox for like 2/3 years before playing it on PC and also have multiple Epic Games accounts xD

[lusty hinge]

jesus christ get off rocket league

i own collectors edition and have less than 200

[chrome wren]

I can't figure out how much time I spent on GTA on Xbox :(

Across steam, xbox and epic games I've spent well over 200 days in Rocket League xD

[lusty hinge]

its.. somewhere

i checked it a while ago for my fortnite hours lol

[chrome wren]

It shows on some games, but not all

[lusty hinge]

thats weird

[chrome wren]

It shows on GTA online and GTAV xbox series edition, but doesn't show for Xbox One edition

[lusty hinge]

very weird

[pulsar fossil]

😅

I did play through the story on Xbox 360 and Xbox One as well but I doubt it adds very many hours 😅

[lusty hinge]

thats how much play time a sane person has

[mystic drift]

I have 10k+ hours in Rocket League if I combined my Xbox accounts and pc together lol. Bad addiction

[lusty hinge]

thats insane

[chrome wren]

No thank you xD my 5k/6K ish combined is 5/6k ish too much lol

[mystic drift]

Save yourself while you can

[chrome wren]

Awful game that went downhill once EpicGames bought it

[pulsar fossil]

Is it really that bad tho?

I haven't played it but I've had the pleasure of working on the esports side of it

[lusty hinge]

gameplay is basically the same afaik lol

but they ruined everything else

it is complete ass

[chrome wren]

It's asss

Servers are awful now, they removed trading, full of smurfs because they made it free to play so everyone has 20 accounts, new bugs every single update, which is very few other than cosmetics which are ridiculously priced now, no communication from them at all, and just loads of issues

[crimson scroll]

I have no problem with you all bashing rl but let's keep the non pc related convos elsewhere

[tiny scroll]

what would be a decent reliable and fast budget m.2

[lusty hinge]

what country

what size

[tiny scroll]

Turkey. Preferably more than 250gb if thats what u meant

[lusty hinge]

choose whatever one youd like from these. preferably cheapest:

vp4300 lite, vi5000, mp44l, fanxiang s550, silicon power a60, adata legend 800, xg7000

[lusty hinge]

my 4080S doesn't have any nice compatible waterblocks

so now i cant decide if i should wait for 50 series and see how they look/perform

or if i just get another XTX/80S

[chrome wren]

I'm waiting for 5000 series

[lusty hinge]

epic

i knew ages ago when i bought this card

i just had a slight feeling i should pay the extra £40 for the other one

its fine though

ill wait for 50 series and then see what the cheapest 80/90 is and their blocks

if not ill get a cheap 4090

[ashen karma]

I own a headset and there are many problems with Arctis Pro + GameDAC shooter games

Is there anyone to help me!

[lusty hinge]

what even are the problems

[ashen karma]

He has no enemies assigned to him when you are saved + he will see a lot of things

• The sound is not accurate at all. I regret this experience

[wraith loom]

Hi there, i would like to get some thoughts on the AIO cooler radiator position. I have it positioned on same side of motherboard with tubes on top, the top of radiator is higher then the pump, the pump sits lower. It wont damage the pump with tubes on top of radiator will it?

Is this AIO cooler positioning ok?

I dont get any issues, no overheating, everything works well

[chrome wren]

It's a good thing to have the rad higher than the pump, any bubbles will get trapped in the top of the rad instead of in the pump

[wraith loom]

Yes, thats how it is now. Thanks for confirming

[fluid cobalt]

sonar wont let me drag and drop my audio sources to different boxes

[leaden rampart]

In order for apps to output to the other devices in Sonar, you'll need to route the apps to the specified device. Routing can be done in one of two ways:

1. Use the routing drag and drop interface underneath the audio outputs to simply move any apps playing sounds to the required output

2. Open the Windows sound device by going to Settings > Sound > App Volume and Device Preferences. From this settings menu you can use the dropdown to route any app.

If you are having issues with routing not working or apps moving back to another device after dragging them, you may need to check the app itself for any sound output settings. Some apps like Discord, Spotify, and Apple Music may need to have their outputs changed within their app settings rather than done through Sonar.

[lusty hinge]

nice

[umbral bramble]

@lusty hinge thoughts about the lf3?

[lusty hinge]

the aio? its alright

[umbral bramble]

and the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero EVO

[lusty hinge]

meh

[haughty vault]

I may of f'ed up

I didn't realise I needed two ram for my laptop

And I bought one 32 gig stick... Uhhhhhh 🤦

Will one ram do for the time being or is it better to buy another one and wait

[pulsar fossil]

Should work just fine. You'll only lose a little performance since you won't have be using dual channel

[haughty vault]

Ok thanks Lennart. I'll probably buy a second one then. I'll have 64gb of ram then XP

[pulsar fossil]

That should definitely be enough 😅

[haughty vault]

Definitely 💯

Lol

Overkill for a laptop ig

[umbral bramble]

lets say I'm looking forward for something similar like this one

[lusty hinge]

lennart already answered but yes its fine. you just miss out on the dual channel speeds

[lusty hinge]

aqua elite v3 or frozen prism

theyre good aios

nice and affordable ones too

[umbral bramble]

also have unique stuff like the ryujin iii or the one I've mentioned

[lusty hinge]

most thermalright aios are great

iirc these are unavailable in the US unless you import but they also product LCD AIOs called the Frozen Vision and the Warframe

i personally use the frozen vision

[umbral bramble]

https://geizhals.de/thermalright-frozen-vision-360-black-argb-a3120998.html

[lusty hinge]

thats the one. it has an LCD front on it similar to the NZXT KRAKEN

except this one doesn't suck lol

iirc Amazon has it cheaper

[haughty vault]

I'll buy another one

Its not like I can't afford it

[lusty hinge]

yeah, make sure you buy the same stick

mixing and matching ram is a very fun adventure (it doesn't work)

[haughty vault]

Stop changing ur pfp its confusing. Also Toradora fire

[lusty hinge]

lmfao, i change my pfp a lot more often in other servers

[haughty vault]

Lol

[lusty hinge]

easily 6 times a day

[haughty vault]

U have a problem

Lol

[lusty hinge]

haha yeah, its fun to change it up though

[haughty vault]

Yea

[lusty hinge]

[haughty vault]

I wish my nitro didn't run out

I don't usually buy subscriptions

[haughty vault]

Ima dm ya a cat photo if you don't mind. I have well over 100 of them

[lusty hinge]

it sucks when it runs out. but christ its not worth the money it costs

[lusty hinge]

feel free to do so

[lusty hinge]

ah wait

[haughty vault]

D:

[lusty hinge]

there you go

dms open

[umbral bramble]

i wish it had a fan like the ryujin 3

[lusty hinge]

on the radiator?

just change the fans

you dont have to use the fans it comes with

[haughty vault]

Im probably going to return it and buy two 16gigs

Hmmm

Would a smart tv benefit from the ram stick

Probably not because i might have soldered ram

[lusty hinge]

what are you using the laptop for? honestly you might not even care for 2 sticks

[haughty vault]

Gaming for the most part

[lusty hinge]

ah okay

id rather dual channel then

[haughty vault]

Yeah

So I'll return it

If I can

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[haughty vault]

If not

64 gigabyte power

[umbral bramble]

nes, i mean if it would it is nice but if not no problem for me

[haughty vault]

Same speed, same manufacturer, different size

[lusty hinge]

yes its fine. you can buy seperate fans and switch them out

[haughty vault]

Plus I'll save 20 quid

[lusty hinge]

are you buying 2 of these?

[haughty vault]

Yea

[lusty hinge]

i cant remember how laptop ddr5 chips are. cl46 would be considered rocky for an average 32gb ddr5 pc

but it seems fine

[haughty vault]

Or I can get 4800mhz

That doesn't have cl46

Oh... And the 32gig i got has cl46

[umbral bramble]

I ment a fan like on the radiator like the ryujin 3 that is cooling the mainboard,

[lusty hinge]

that is literally what i said

those 3 fans?

those 3 fans... that are.. on the radiator??

[lusty hinge]

nah its fine. laptop ddr5 is in the 40-46 range

i had to double check it thats all

[umbral bramble]

my bad i ment on the cooler

upsi

[lusty hinge]

its all good

that fan on the ryujin 3 changes nothing

its just there to make it cost more than anything else

[haughty vault]

Ah oke

[umbral bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-sailor-moon-shake-strangle-gif-14386929

thats lisqui right now wishing to do to me

[lusty hinge]

😭

the ryujin 3 is an overpriced aio

its not worth it

[umbral bramble]

yeah....i know it's expensive

[lucid owl]

should i get an air cooler or a liquid cooler for a 12900k

[umbral bramble]

liquid
or if you find and have enough space for a powerful air cooler than air

[pulsar fossil]

I've been using a Noctua air cooler with my i9-9900k and it's been fantastic

[lusty hinge]

air

[lusty hinge]

??

a decent dual tower air cooler would work

the real question is why is he getting a 12900k

[umbral bramble]

i guess since the newest showed up some issues.. I mean that is for me the case.

[lusty hinge]

what

[umbral bramble]

I don't want to buy the newest intel cpus pecause I heard that they have big issues. that kept me away from buying them or go for them. and what i ment is that maybe he thought the same

[stuck thicket]

@lusty hinge what could this sound be 💀

[lusty hinge]

lmfao i love that it sounds like it's just some little guy in there

its likely coil whine or something

[lusty hinge]

what were you doing when taking this video

[stuck thicket]

playing roblox lmao

i'm not hearing ti rn

it*

I just did again

[stuck thicket]

It's still persisting even after closing roblox

restart time

[lusty hinge]

coil whine probably

@stuck thicket

i didnt see your messages, apologies

[stuck thicket]

All good

[stuck thicket]

What is coil whine?

[lusty hinge]

the coils inside components make noise

[stuck thicket]

Also I set up fan curves but they’re pretty basic

[lusty hinge]

eh, its fine. fan curves dont have to be fancy

i have mine just a straight flat line at 43%

[stuck thicket]

This is what I have it at rn

idk lol

[lusty hinge]

seems alright

[stuck thicket]

Is there anything that can be done about the coil whine

[lusty hinge]

nope

[stuck thicket]

Aw

Maybe I should have gotten an AIO

[lusty hinge]

would probably be louder

wait

why?

[stuck thicket]

Simpler

Is what I had before

[lusty hinge]

fair enough

if anything an aio is more complicated

could easily be louder, it can be more difficult to install, you have to monitor curves based on coolant temp etc etc

[stuck thicket]

I never did that 😅

[lusty hinge]

fair enough

you need to make sure an aio is set to a constant rate

[stuck thicket]

Is the coil whine from the GPU?

I kinda doubt it since I never heard it before

[lusty hinge]

could be

or psu

[lusty hinge]

do you have any HDDs

[stuck thicket]

Yes I have one

I haven't used my PC a ton since I put the fans in honestly so I don't recall if this issue existed before today, it may have without me noticing

[lusty hinge]

probably

it could not have

its not harmful to have coil whine

[lusty hinge]

could be that

sounds similar to weird hdd noises ive heard before

[stuck thicket]

That's good, it's just kinda annoying lol

How am I supposed to record my voiceovers now (not that I do much of that these days)

Sonar does have noise cancellation ig

I'm trying to identify the source but I can't tell

[lusty hinge]

yeah, it can be annoying

if it is actually coil whine... the quicker you get used to it the better.

[stuck thicket]

Sometimes it is happening sometimes it isn't

🤷

[lusty hinge]

weird

oh well

doesnt sound like anything concerning

you could try unplugging your HDD for a bit and running it without

making sure you turn your pc off beforehand..

[stuck thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/spencer-shay-icarly-may-be-an-idiot-not-stupid-jerry-trainor-gif-17290280

[lusty hinge]

😭

[umbral bramble]

ever heard of the dunning krueger effect?

[lusty hinge]

lmfao thats not yours is it

thats a fan running at higher speeds on a cooler which hasn't been tightened properly

[neon mantle]

Is there a difference between these too? Or should I just get the cheaper one

[lusty hinge]

mp44l is better

mp33 uses rubbish internals

[neon mantle]

Okay thanks

[neon mantle]

I found the Ryzen 5 5500 for $88 should I get it over the Ryzen 5 7600?

[lusty hinge]

no

[lusty hinge]

whats your country, budget and use case

i assume US from the 102 dollar mp44l

[neon mantle]

Yeah US, under $1000 I’ll be able to buy better stuff later, mostly for gaming

[lusty hinge]

when are you buying it

within a week?

theres new cpus literally end of month and 50 series is supposed to release soonish

so markets gonna change if you arent buying soon

[neon mantle]

Yes this week hopefully

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[neon mantle]

So that means that prices are gonna drop?

[lusty hinge]

meh maybe

probably not

usually 6 months later

prices will just fluctuate

are you fine with an mATX board

[neon mantle]

Idk what that is lowkey lol im new to pc gaming

I had a gaming laptop but it broke

[lusty hinge]

micro ATX its slightly smaller than standard

https://ibb.co/dL8pcd3

[neon mantle]

Is that bad?

[lusty hinge]

like that

[lusty hinge]

no

just wondering if you're fine

its cheaper

[neon mantle]

Yeah it should be alright

Are there any downsides? Or it’s just smaller

[lusty hinge]

literally just smaller

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w4TkYN

you can get a bigger board for just $3 anyway if youd like

b650 eagle ax

[neon mantle]

Tysm 🙏🏿

[lusty hinge]

no problem

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DbYDYN

this is the alternative board lol

itd look nicer in the case ig but its literally just personal preference

the actual difference between an mATX and ATX board is very negligible

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2JLFf7/teamgroup-t-force-delta-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-ff3d532g6000hc30dc01

you could also get rgb if youd like

[neon mantle]

What about monitor keyboard and mouse?

[lusty hinge]

i am not so talented at that stuff

do you have a seperate budget for them

or do you need them in 1000usd

[neon mantle]

Yeah

[lusty hinge]

ah awesome

[neon mantle]

Nothing too crazy doe

In my honest opinion I don’t like the ones that curve

[lusty hinge]

?

what ones

keyboard?

[neon mantle]

Nah the monitors that curve

[lusty hinge]

ah

[neon mantle]

Like the ultra wide ones

[lusty hinge]

oh those huge ones?

neither do i

[neon mantle]

lol

Appreciate the help man have a good night 🙏🏿

[lusty hinge]

the vx2428 is a good monitor

keyboard and mouse choose whatever you like

[neon mantle]

Alright gotcha 👍🏿

[lusty hinge]

[limpid bobcat]

can anyone help me with what might be wrong with pc.

mobo has speaker not LEDs. isn’t making any sound (has went off before when gpu was not plugged into power but was in the pcie slot)

just switched all components into new case. pc switches on as soon as power supply is connected. no display. it will power back down when holding power button but will turn itself back on after 5-10 seconds.

all fans have power but no post. usb does not have power (keyboard usually lights up after post, no response at all) fans will maintain a constant, normal rate of speed (when plugging fan into pump it spins up to max speed so fan is getting some sort of signal for speed)

cmos reset didn’t work (jumper from 1-2 to 2-3)

everything was working perfectly fine prior to case swap. all components were bought brand new. tried taking it apart and starting over again but no dice

[lusty hinge]

could be many things

easiest method

2 seconds

send a photo of the centre of your motherboard, 24 pin power connector from the side, gpu power connectors from the top down, powersw cables in front header and the cpu power cable

[limpid bobcat]

alright hold on a sec

front io cables (powersw is tucked away on the side)

powersw at board

24pin

mobo

and gpu connector

wait and cpu is coming

[lusty hinge]

weird, nothing noticeably bust or anything

if you plug them all in, are they in securely with no gaps?

[limpid bobcat]

yes

cpu cables

[lusty hinge]

dont see anything wrong with them either

[limpid bobcat]

i even found the video hp put out showing how to replace all the components, so i had found a guide for making sure everything went back together correctly

but weird enough i’ve had the mobo speaker go off when oc the ram or once a long time ago after forgetting to plug back in gpu power

[lusty hinge]

do you use a discrete graphics card?

[limpid bobcat]

but nothing at all no beep or tone

[lusty hinge]

or your cpus igpu

[limpid bobcat]

no just gpu

no integrated

[lusty hinge]

when you plug it in, how are the connectors?

[limpid bobcat]

snug, flush

[lusty hinge]

hm

is it in the x16 slot properly?

[limpid bobcat]

yes seated and tab clicked

rn it’s out the board just because i need a a new support but it’s had support in the old case so nothing should be bent or suffering from sag damage either

[lusty hinge]

weird. what about display cable? are you using hdmi or display port?

[limpid bobcat]

this is quite literally the first problem this thing has ever caused me, about a year and a half long

tried both

[lusty hinge]

ah already tried it

is ram seated correctly?

[limpid bobcat]

i know which one the system recognizes as the main monitor as well so i know it’s not some weird second or third monitor strangeness

yes and tried removing sticks and entirely different sticks as well

[lusty hinge]

yeah i did think it looked right

did you reinstall that cooler? or did you leave it on for the case swap

[limpid bobcat]

reinstall but it wouldn’t be the first time because i’ve changed the thermal paste before

[lusty hinge]

ah

you applied paste this time i assume

[limpid bobcat]

i did not, the paste on it wasn’t very old

[lusty hinge]

ah thats fine then

[limpid bobcat]

cpu never left the slot either

[lusty hinge]

wouldnt be the cause of the issue unless there was no paste at all

cooler is on the mount properly?

securely fastened?

[limpid bobcat]

yes and not over tightened either, just until it starts to get tight

[lusty hinge]

nice

did you try several monitors/displays?

[limpid bobcat]

yeah i have three i tried

MY BRAIN IT HURTS

[lusty hinge]

same, this is very weird.

[limpid bobcat]

this makes no sense

[lusty hinge]

i dont see what it could be

[limpid bobcat]

i only can think mobo. i shorted something or broke a pin somewhere i can’t find

[lusty hinge]

hm, maybe

i do think somethings dead, or at least malfunctioning

[limpid bobcat]

i had a grounding strap but could’ve done it some other way

[lusty hinge]

do you have a computer store near you? micro center or a local repair shop or anything?

[limpid bobcat]

it doesn’t even get to the bios or anything at all. i’ve even tried running it without the boot drive

[lusty hinge]

might be worth getting them to check it as theyll have other parts they could test with

[limpid bobcat]

yeah i tried to test the gpu with my cousin but he doesn’t have the right power connectors (he has rtx 4080 and gtx 1080, which both have different cables)

there is a shop down the road

i was just hoping i was missing some elusive step in the building process 😭

[lusty hinge]

no it doesnt seem it

i dont see any broken capacitors or anything

no connectors are visually damaged

[limpid bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/tobias-funke-crying-suffering-struggling-shower-gif-11961332

[lusty hinge]

everything looks and sounds like it should work

[limpid bobcat]

well at least i didn’t make some stupid mistake plugging something into the wrong slot or something

i appreciate the help. i will take it to the shop in the morning

thankfully i am off of work

[lusty hinge]

no problem, hopefully it ends up fine.

take care

[stuck thicket]

Nah dw

My PC doesn’t have nearly that much RGB

[limpid bobcat]

the shop down the road is closed until the 14th

[vernal bane]

order from Amazon

[limpid bobcat]

i’m fairly confident at this point it’s either the mobo or power supply so i went and got a b760-p and thermal take 700W

[limpid bobcat]

context

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[lusty hinge]

i think he assumed you were buying something from a shop

[limpid bobcat]

it’s definitely the mobo. new psu didn’t change anything. waiting for the mobo to be ready for pick up

thanks for the help tho i’m definitely glad to have the new mobo anyways

[lusty hinge]

ah that sucks. at least we know the issue

[noble oak]

hi #💻-building-a-pc my bro want to build gaming pc for max: 965 dollars. Can you recomend a parts? Thanks

[neon mantle]

Building a pc isn’t hard right?

Also is this a good enough pc for the price?

[lusty hinge]

no

[lusty hinge]

what country

[neon mantle]

So it’s bad?

[lusty hinge]

yes

its awful it wont even work

[neon mantle]

Damn

[lusty hinge]

change cpu

suddenly it becomes alright

[neon mantle]

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
Motherboard: MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI Micro-ATX AM5
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR5-5200
Storage: TEAMGROUP MP44L 2TB SLC
Graphics Card: XFX Speedster SWFT210 Radeon RX 6650XT
Case: GAMDIAS ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply: EVGA 600 W1 80+ WHITE 600W

How about this?

[lusty hinge]

not the W1

thats a bomb

[neon mantle]

But everything else is good?

[lusty hinge]

b650 eagle ax is cheaper

[neon mantle]

For the motherboard?

[lusty hinge]

yes

also ram

awful

[neon mantle]

Bruh

[lusty hinge]

whats your budget

[neon mantle]

Anything that’s cheap 😭

I have a build alr but my parents say that it’s too expensive (it’s around $1000)

So anything under $800 that can run Elden ring well is good in my book

[lusty hinge]

hows $870

800 is doable though

[neon mantle]

That’s actually perfect thank you

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g9b3PF

could get a cheaper psu but i mean

its like 5 dollars more for 12vhpwr + 750w

good for future upgrades

[neon mantle]

Nice

Is there a difference between the both of the intels? And also is there an alternative video card that’s on Amazon?

[lusty hinge]

get a 12400f

also yes

2 seconds

are you sure that one isnt available

just search "RX 6800" on amazon

then show me

[neon mantle]

My fault there is idk why it didn’t show me

[lusty hinge]

all good

[neon mantle]

Ok so is all
Of this good?

[lusty hinge]

yes

thats probably the best youll get at that price point

[neon mantle]

Alright thanks again 🙏🏿

[lusty hinge]

no problem

[neon mantle]

Building it is gonna be easy too right?

[lusty hinge]

same as any other pc yes

linus has a full length 2024 build guide

[neon mantle]

Nice

[stuck thicket]

What’s this sound lol @lusty hinge

Oh lovely, I started a game and now the coil whine is back

[stuck thicket]

Wow the coil whine is already annoying I might have to open my PC up soon

If it is coming from my GPU this is an excuse to buy a new one

[limpid bobcat]

it’s finally back together in the new case. i’m obsessed

and it is posting! def mobo, and this new one fills out the case so much better apart from the half assed cable management

[shell bay]

Coil whine is very annoying if ur pc is close to you.. but it doesnt effect performance. you can cap your fps to lower the coil whine or undervolt ur gpu.

Sad thing is most countries they dont accept rma for coil whine issues

[lusty hinge]

buying a new one sure. returning it? you may be able to... but its a gamble. you could easily get one back with worse

oh, lucid already replied.

it is completely just noise

i had a PSU before that would emit crazy levels of coil whine

just got used to it

[lusty hinge]

it was a board issue?
thats epic, glad youve got it working. it looks awesome

its very weird that case swapping it killed your motherboard

[stuck thicket]

No way they’d let me return this I bought it in probably 2017

[lusty hinge]

no chance then

[stuck thicket]

I really only hear the cool whine when I’m not playing a game but I’m not always on a game yk

[lusty hinge]

a coil whine flare up after 7 years is impressive but makes sense

[stuck thicket]

I mean I never had the issue until I put the fans in and then it cropped up not long after

I also wasn’t hearing it initially when using my PC yesterday but I think it started when I launched a game so it probably is from the GPU

[lusty hinge]

or psu 🤷‍♂️

[stuck thicket]

I’ll find out this weekend if I’m up for it

I don’t use my PC all that often any more but I did just buy some new games

[noble oak]

i'm from Poland but i asking for dollars

@lusty hinge BUT if you can give me parts in PLN i will be grateful

[lusty hinge]

i dont want to know what it is in dollars if youre not from the US

whats your budget in your local currency

[fading current]

If someone can @ one of the admins that would be great, for some reason on sonar it recoginzes my new headset(steel series arctis nova 1) as a usb audio device even tho it uses cables. I have been having issues and hearing slight static sounds when playing music on spotify and watching youtube videos. If anyone knows how to fix this please lmk asap no rocky

@steep dome

[noble oak]

PLN

@lusty hinge thats ok?

[lusty hinge]

i asked for your budget

PLN is a currency

what's your budget

[noble oak]

3800 pln

@lusty hinge

[lusty hinge]

i see

what sites do you use in Poland to buy pc parts @noble oak

[noble oak]

komputronik.pl

[lusty hinge]

ill take a look in a minute

site wont load on my phone

[noble oak]

okie dokie

[noble oak]

so you do some research?

[lusty hinge]

yes i will

[noble oak]

and

[lusty hinge]

and im not done

its a low budget

[noble oak]

ok so 4500 pln?

[turbid nymph]

can you guys rate my new setup? https://www.x-kom.pl/lista/cd67h8mey

[noble oak]

[turbid nymph]

thanks!

[noble oak]

@lusty hinge what about it: https://www.komputronik.pl/zbuduj-pc/8A7WzBMLd0-5ed8gV3lpK

[noble oak]

a lexar drive is not expensive

[neon mantle]

How can I put windows on my pc if I don’t have to buy it?

[lusty hinge]

usb

[lusty hinge]

its near perfect yeah

[lusty hinge]

mid

[neon mantle]

How would that work?

[lusty hinge]

you dont buy a 3060 brand new

[lusty hinge]

a usb?

[neon mantle]

So I just put windows on a usb?

[lusty hinge]

theres a few changes

[lusty hinge]

yes you use the windows media creation tool

if you have a laptop or something use that

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11

[neon mantle]

Dang it’s that easy

[lusty hinge]

change the ssd to one of these:
xg7000, vi5000, mp44l, vp4300 Lite

[lusty hinge]

yes

then you just plug that new usb into your pc you need to install windows on

itll automatically pick it up

[lusty hinge]

its important you use this link

its an automatic download so if you pick up a malicious version you could very easily get brick components or malware such as trackers

[neon mantle]

Alright

[pulsar fossil]

Anyone got suggestions for a good/cheap router and NIC that does 2.5G?

[noble oak]

complete PC parts: https://www.komputronik.pl/cart/shared/show/GwdJeKyepV-5ed8gVXlpK

[lusty hinge]

looks alright yeah

endorfy seems like a polish brand

from my very quick search its alright

their PSU im not 100% on, but theyre quality enough to not blow up which is probably the important thing.

[lusty hinge]

@obtuse hedge spoke to you a while back about your eevee figure lol.
im very interested in your pc specs. could you send a list?

sorry if this is outgoing lol, just a tech nerd here 🤓

model specific would be ideal

[obtuse hedge]

When I have time, I absolutely can!

[lusty hinge]

thats great, thank you!

[limpid bobcat]

yeah its especially strange since I didn't even have to reinstall windows on the new board. everything worked right away. just had to install msi drivers

i thought maybe OS might not play well when swapping boards but it was fine

[lusty hinge]

thats so weird

[limpid bobcat]

[lusty hinge]

i would recommend a fresh os install if youd like, windows may like it more. however it doesnt really seem necessary in this case

but its always better to do so if you care enough for it

but yeah thats weird

lmfao board just killed itself for no reason

[limpid bobcat]

I probably will sometime soon. I'm considering linux because I need to learn it for cybersec

[lusty hinge]

linux mention

😎😎

had a debate with some guy over linux for like an hour in vc the other day

its awesome

[limpid bobcat]

idk the first thing about linux other than the basic command line stuff

but i know linux users will live and die by linux

[lusty hinge]

linux is awesome

i have a 2nd pc i dual boot linux on

its the best

[limpid bobcat]

i used to do security sims on linux using data fed through splunk. we would remote in to the server the director had and it was cool becuase anything you did in your own sim could affect other's sims like if it was a real company

So you might've gotten an alert that someone's password expired, and if an operator sent through a force password reset it would change in everyone else's sim saying that the password had been changed and did not need to be reset anymore

[lusty hinge]

thats epic

[limpid bobcat]

final pics then i’ll stop oversharing

[lusty hinge]

whoa, looks epic. thats that musetex one right? the case.

[gusty bolt]

That's a sick setup

[lusty hinge]

feel free to share in #1059414196858662923

[gusty bolt]

[lusty hinge]

you could pick up a cheap pack of TL-C12 white if youd like to fill in the remainder

[limpid bobcat]

yes it’s musetex. lowkey thought it was gonna NZXT on it but musetex sounds cooler

[lusty hinge]

yeah, i was looking at that case earlier. its great value

[limpid bobcat]

hold on let me look those up

i figured, that’s fine tho i paid $60 for it

[lusty hinge]

yesh, those fans are like 13 dollars for a 3 pack iirc

[lusty hinge]

$60 is awesome. so cheap!

[limpid bobcat]

i buy a lot of stuff from open box auction. sometimes you end up with damaged stuff but most of it is minor damage or no damage at all. overall it’s way cheaper

i think i paid $80 for the Acer 1440p 144hz and it was in perfect condition

[lusty hinge]

thats awesome

[limpid bobcat]

actually what i won today will shock you more than anything hold on

[lusty hinge]

thats epic

[limpid bobcat]

$70 monitor light for $5 plus tax and fees. original box

[lusty hinge]
