[sour talon]

This can also be done via the browser. Do I need the app for that too?

[latent aurora]

Yeah, as that program reads out the telemetry data which is needed for that kind of thing you wanna do 😄

but once setted up and installed, its running finesse in the system tray and you dont have to worry about it - also it supports a load of other games too

[sour talon]

OK. Thanks, I'll take a look at it sometime

[latent aurora]

👍

[main coral]

hey i need help, i recently got a new pc and got truckersmp but i get frame drops anyone know how to fix?

[severe sage]

Does it only happen in busy areas such as Calais and Duisburg? Also what are the specs of your PC?

[main coral]

it does not

ill get my specs up

Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor 3.70 GHz, Installed RAM 6.0 GB

idk what other specs you need but tell me if you need a bit more info

[severe sage]

Graphics card would be ideal

[main coral]

AMD Radeon RX 6600

[severe sage]

OK that shouldn't have any issues running base ETS2/empty TruckersMP. Have you made sure to update your graphics drivers?

[main coral]

gonna sound dumb but how do you do that?

[severe sage]

Do you have AMD adrenalin software installed?

[main coral]

yes

[severe sage]

Open it up and go to settings on the top right

And the driver update should be on the top right.

[main coral]

ah i see thanks

hopefully it fixes the mp lag

well frame drops

[severe sage]

It might not, frame drops are a bit hard to diagnose. If it's stuttering then I'd also suggest turning down the graphics settings in ETS2, turning on v-sync and possibly Radeon Enhanced Sync.

If none of those work and you get stuttering in other games, then it might be a faulty card but as I said, it's hard to diagnose over text

[main coral]

when you say vsync is that in game?

[severe sage]

Should be, but you need to turn it on in your monitor settings and posssibly in radeon software if you don't have the previous option.

[main coral]

how do i do that? just tried playing theres a bit less stutter but it happens still

[spiral yew]

6GB of ram oh boy that's not much ram

[severe sage]

@main coral I misread the ram as 16GB, is it correct that you only have 6?

[spiral yew]

i have 32 in my system, but samma only has 6GB

[main coral]

its 16 for some reason i didnt put the 1

[spiral yew]

i was gonna say 6 is a little low 😂

[severe sage]

Thought so, haven't seen a new system with 6GB in a while. Mostly DDR3 and DDR2 days.

Anyway.

[severe sage]

In your monitors menu using the buttons, there should be a setting that says freesync/vsync which you need to turn on. This won't appear on monitors that don't support it though, but in most cases it's there in some form.

[main coral]

dont think mine has that lol

[mighty idol]

I don't understand how google account works

[severe sage]

You need to use the same phone number as the one you set your account up with.

I believe

[mighty idol]

that's a new account

so no number is set up

[severe sage]

Huh.

[mighty idol]

[severe sage]

I'd suggest refreshing it or trying to access your Google account a different way, through YouTube or something, that normally works in my case.

[glad skiff]

[mighty idol]

cool now I have to appeal to google

when google itself logged me out automatically on pc while I'm logging into my phone

[jade socket]

So I've been having this problem with my pc where it just keeps freezing and crashing and I have to completely shut it down and so I just completely wiped my pc deleted everything on it to see if it was anything downloaded and it wasn't and it's still doing it after having no games on it. Anyone know a solution or what the problem could be.

[mighty idol]

could be hardware problems uhh

can't say for sure

[jade socket]

yea, cause I've completely wiped the computer and it still did it

[mighty idol]

try downloading monitoring software to check the temps, utilization and stuff

Does someone know where I can get a custom wheel for the g920 base?

[polar lance]

Well, I’d watch which you go for. Dish wheels will add strain to your base and could damage it so if you are going for one aim for it to be flat

[bronze terrace]

can someone help with my game?

everytime i join game its keep saying that i have an "missing controller" i dont use any. When i swap to keyboard its keep reseting my settings

i play on keyboard only

[pliant comet]

Head to Controllers section of game's settings, then locate the entry with name of the missing controller and select "None" in that specific controller slot.

[bronze terrace]

@pliant comet doesnt work

[bronze terrace]

i mean its not the whole problem

What are your computer specs?

[flint egret]

Ryzen 5 2600
RTX 3060 12gb
16gb of ram
1.2tb of SSD storage
6tb of HDD storage

[vernal crystal]

hello,
for a school project i need to know what would be better a laptop or a desktop. the project focuses mainly on Financial administration.

[polar lance]

Probably a laptop for portability

[obsidian kayak]

id agree

[brazen depot]

Laptop and preferably one with a number keypad on the side if doing financial things like entering in lots of numbers, much easier than the top row of the keyboard

[flint egret]

I got a number keypad integrated into my trackpad

[golden umbra]

Guys what to upgrade in PC to get bigger FPS in busy areas?
i5 9400f
rtx 2060
ddr 4 2666mhz 16gb

[flint egret]

CPU

And ram

[agile ermine]

a new CPU and RAM won't get you that much of a framerate upgrade, GPU is what will matter the most

unless you haave only a single stick of RAM

[flint egret]

What causes lag in busy areas is your PC loading other players, which is done via CPU afaik

[golden umbra]

Will 5 7600 be good choice? Will it make any diffrence?

and ddr5 6000mhz

[flint egret]

It'll be a good choice. I got a Ryzen 5 2600 on desktop with a RTX 3060 12GB. And I got a Ryzen 7 5800h and a RTX 3050 4GB. Both can handle TMP in busy areas with respectable FPS

[agile ermine]

Both my laptop and my previous desktop had a similar CPU, but the desktop has a more powerful GPU so I would get a significantly higher framerate out of it

TruckersMP runs into game engine limitations

but a GPU will give you a bigger upgrade over a CPU

though upgrading both would be better

[flint egret]

My laptop gets slightly better FPS in Calais over my desktop

[agile ermine]

my desktop (5800X, RTX 3070Ti) would get around 50% higher framerate than my laptop (7840HS, RTX 4060) with the same settings, in the same spot in Calais with the same number of players around

and my laptop's CPU is slightly faster than my desktop's CPU

[golden umbra]

so you think 6 cores 7600 will be enough in 2024? (gaming with streaming also sometimes some video editing)

[flint egret]

Should be plenty enough

[golden umbra]

okay thanks so much

how do i weaken the brake pedal for the logitech stuff

its way too hard to push 100% and makes me feel like im supposed to play a F1 game

ping me when ur replying

[severe sage]

The only way you can do it is by opening the pedals and removing a rubber block that's placed within the spring, there's plenty of guides online on how to do it if you're interested. I'd strongly recommend only doing it outside of warranty as altering the pedals will void it.

[mystic blaze]

damn i wish it wasnt so damn hard to push so i dont have to set the brake intensity to max

[severe sage]

Mmm, it is a pain. It's something you will just have to deal with though until you upgrade to adjustable pedals or the guide I mentioned above unfortunately.

[mystic blaze]

ight fren

is this cpu good for TMP

[latent aurora]

Yes

[agile ermine]

best gaming CPU period.

useless without a very good GPU, though

[frosty osprey]

sure

[mystic blaze]

full setup lmao

[spiral yew]

7000D case nice choice

[polar lance]

I disagree

It isn’t hard to push even with the rubber in

[polar lance]

I’m pretty sure I have my % on 50 in LG HUB and in game 25 I’m not to sure tho

I also don’t do leg day I ride a bike

[obsidian kayak]

i dont do leg day, i speed walk 5 miles to school and back everyday

[polar lance]

A Logitech pedal really isn’t that hard to press is what we are hinting

[obsidian kayak]

which one tho?

brake with the full rubber block>>

[polar lance]

G29 or g920 I suppose they on about

[polar lance]

Mines bone stock rn but I might buy a pedal mod for it

Clutch could do with it

[obsidian kayak]

i just took it out

[polar lance]

Nah it’s better with the rubber in

[obsidian kayak]

i would say with half, i could barely press it down when i first got it because it kept sliding

[polar lance]

Ah

Mines on flooring it don’t move

[obsidian kayak]

mines on carpet

[polar lance]

Did u have the grip thing out

[obsidian kayak]

yup

[polar lance]

Damn

[obsidian kayak]

i need to find that rubber block again

[polar lance]

I can move this brake pedal with my little toe

💀

[mystic blaze]

my chair moves back because its not stationary and i dont want it to move farther from the pedals and i dont want that buh

[mystic blaze]

oh yea btw

should i get smth like this even if it takes me like a year to get the full setup?

[vestal owl]

Depends on your choices.

I would say yes.

[mystic blaze]

it has extras for buttons but that and the wheel costs 300 combined lol

[agile ermine]

"even if it takes me like a year to get the full setup"

don't buy it if you can't afford it...

[mystic blaze]

its the same stuff with the pc setup

2k for a full pc and 1.2k for a full wheel setup

i also got flight sticks on the side that arent overpriced trash

[clever spire]

why buy a rim without a base to use it with

[mystic blaze]

why not ?

[clever spire]

That's not really an answer is it? It's like buying parts for a car you don't own

If you're not getting the base at the same time then I'd assume you can't afford it which in that case you should wait until you can and get it all at once

[simple citrus]

silly

[minor lagoon]

hi

[mystic blaze]

the base is like 600 to 800

[clever spire]

well yeah they're not cheap

[keen cave]

its also alot easier for most to jsut buy things here and there when moneys free isntead of all at once and in some countrys cheaper ebucase less tax or importfees etc

[clever spire]

We're talking about a rim for a wheel base here. Like, it's literally useless without the base

[keen cave]

i mean i ahve 4 jsut for wall art lol

dont even own a sim rig anymore

[clever spire]

I take it it was one you actually used beforehand? It seems a bit weird to buy a rim just to put it on a wall

[keen cave]

nope just liked the look there in my office ill try to take a picture sometime

2 nardis and 2 momos all woodgrain

[clever spire]

To each their own I guess. In this case though, buying a rim with the intent to use it with a base you plan to buy in future just isn't so wise. What happens if a new base comes out in the mean time that's better value but isn't compatible with the rim?

[keen cave]

i mean all sim rigs now days "ones that arnt from walmart" sell adapters to use irl bolt patterens

and fanatec has used the same pattern for like 10 years plus no changeing

[clever spire]

Sure he can get an adapter but why bother when he could just wait a little? I mean, surely you can see it makes most sense to wait until he can buy everything at once

[flint egret]

Meanwhile I own 2 sets of wheels for a BMW. Haven't owned a BMW for 2 years

[clever spire]

That rim isn't exactly super special or low stock

[keen cave]

me and my trans am lol upgraded the brakes now 4 sets of wheels dont fit anymore lol

[keen cave]

it was on sale when i checked before thought that was why they wanted to get it now

[clever spire]

What's the price reduction? I don't see any kind of offer on the screenshot but I haven't actually checked the fanatec site

I mean.. if it's $20 meh who cares

[keen cave]

i checked the site it was like 35%

[keen cave]

i basicly never buy all at once do to the taxes in my country and import costs my last pc build i saved 1200 not buying at once

[clever spire]

How does spreading out the purchases out save on tax/imports?

[keen cave]

if it coems from the states its gets a painful import fee and think of it like 15% tax on a 100 dolalr purchase vs 15% on a 4k purchase

much higher taxes

like i bought a 4080super and a new psu was 1900ish before tax and import afterwrerds it was around 2450

[clever spire]

Sure but 15% tax on 100x$40 purchases would still be the same as 1x$4000 purchase, no? Maybe I don't understand you

[keen cave]

its taxed on the total some of the purchase instead of each purchase

[clever spire]

Well yeah but if you're paying 15% tax on each individual purchase you're still paying 15% tax overall

[keen cave]

hard to explain its a shit system

[clever spire]

Alright fair, tax often is lol

[keen cave]

the import shit is even more anoying as sometimes they dont even charge you for import othertiems they do

i once crossed the border with my own pc and they made me pay its import on its dolalr value when i took it back to canada

shuts messed up lol;

[clever spire]

Yeah sounds like it

[spiral yew]

everything is expensive in canada

a $60 game is like 80 CAD right?

[keen cave]

after tax its liek 94

for my province

like the new "ultimate edition" forza was like 165after tax

[spiral yew]

yikes

[keen cave]

yeah first forza i regret buying as its dog shit lol

[spiral yew]

did you get forza horizon 5 or the motorsports version?

[clever spire]

Is that motorsport? I cant imagine paying 160 for that

[keen cave]

last forza fm7 i had 4300hours this one i ahvent even broke 100hours yet

horizons for kids imo

[spiral yew]

don't be dissin on horizon 😂

i enjoy those open world racing games

[keen cave]

i mean lets be real ever since horizon 2 they drowned motorsport so it was "more beginner friedly and less difficult"

they un motorsport the motorsport

[spiral yew]

yeah i haven't played a motorsport for a while

[keen cave]

i can win a online race by simply turning on all the asists and taping down the gas

[spiral yew]

i don't have all the assists turned on for horizon

[keen cave]

the phsycis engine itself is full arcade which the big turnoff for me

atleast horizon 1 and 3 used motorsports engine directly

2 used fm5s engien but we dont talk about fm5

thats the voldemort

fm5 so bad i bought a ps3 and gran turismo

lol

[spiral yew]

i'd have to look but i think i only have ABS, driving line on corners only and automatic gears turned on

[keen cave]

so all the as assists except braking

[spiral yew]

no braking and no steering

[keen cave]

they even got steering now?

[spiral yew]

can't remember what the AI is set on

[keen cave]

i usually jsut crank mine to unbeatable

[hasty marlin]

Any got any advice on opening up a laptop to fit a new drive in? Apart from doing it carefully lol

[pliant comet]

Usually taking the bottom cover, or the service panel off should be enough to access the area, where 2.5 inch drive is located. In some cases there's dedicated spot for such drive. That depends on the laptop, in which you're trying to install the new drive in.

[hasty marlin]

I've found tutorials but just a bit apprehensive say, I know it's a full removal of the case and just plug and play for the drive, one of those new stick types as opposed to the normal drive.

One of those M2 drives

[severe sage]

I'd also recommend you wear an anti static bracelet and disconnect the battery, then it will be very safe.

[hasty marlin]

I've just upgraded a laptop before, built so many desktops in the past.

[severe sage]

Yeah, if you're well versed in desktops then it's not that difficult. The biggest pain is not loosing screws and making sure you don't forget to put a component back in 😅

[hasty marlin]

Been a while though, think the last time I built one was when ddr3 ram just came out

[hasty marlin]

Ok so successfully installed the new drive and the laptop runs again but need to grt it to find the new drive

[hasty marlin]

Just not finding the second drive now, I've also hit google for a solution but not finding specific to what I need other than reddit saying I need a partition manager to help.

[spiral yew]

Does the BIOS screen detect the drive?

[hasty marlin]

Made a total rookie mistake and made it way more complicated than it needed to be LOL

Just needed to format the drive in disk management for it to find it. Been a real long time since I had to install a new internal drive

Thanks anyway to all helped.

[agile ermine]

you've gotta use these properly, though... nobody has that kind of equipment at home

[severe sage]

I mean, I think most people who build PCs have one lying around somewhere, they're only about £5 and simple to use. It's obviously not essential but laptops are more prone to static discharges in my experience

[agile ermine]

never needed one, never had any issues, usually static discharges aren't enough to burn a motherboard... also, a lot of people have random "antistatic" bracelets that don't even connect to a ground

[severe sage]

True, there are people who buy those 'wireless' antistatic bracelets but anyone with basic physics knowledge should know they're a scam haha. Indeed, static discharges don't always damage components, but if you're dealing with £200+ components I think spending £6 isn't that much of an investment 😉

[agile ermine]

you'd be surprised by the amount of people that lack common physics knowledge

[simple citrus]

You can litteraly zap your ram sticks with an electro static gun and they'll be fine

Hello gamers

[polar lance]

Id go for a g29

[mystic blaze]

i has

but i dont play racing games

[polar lance]

Keep g29

Hori is a downgrade lol

[mystic blaze]

i dont really like the wheel facing straight to me

and i dont have a desk for the setup quite yet

homemade desk with attachtments over factory made desks

[polar lance]

Yeah but the hori is a massive downgrade

Less turning degrees too im pretty sure

[severe sage]

I promise you that will not be a massive issue, most wheels are large enough that even if you don't have a proper setup you can still use it perfectly well.

[mystic blaze]

isnt 900 degrees the same in the G29?

well 1800 both ways

[severe sage]

It will only be 900 overall, 450 each way.

[spiral yew]

@mystic blaze are you talking about this wheel? https://stores.horiusa.com/HPC-044U

[mystic blaze]

yea

[mystic blaze]

huh

[spiral yew]

there is also a ps4 wheel made by hori

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNewKm0wG4U here is a review video from SCS Software

[severe sage]

Oh wait no I was wrong, I was looking at a different wheel 😅, it is in fact 1800 total.

[mystic blaze]

whar???

which wheel

[ancient compass]

torture it

Rip

[raw hull]

How'd that happen

[stray pulsar]

Any PC expert here that can say if this is decent?

This is a site focused on gaming PC. I know building myself would be better..

Like for a base to start. I play allot on console and sometimes on pc. But I want to make the switch to pc only now

[latent aurora]

I've got a better system for less of your price.

[agile ermine]

seems somewhat decent, but idk about the power supply, it's a brand i've never heard of and that's usually not a good sign

[stray pulsar]

Bought recently or years ago ?

They build them aswell. So that’s why it cost a little more

[agile ermine]

is there any shop that builds the pc with the components you've chosen, where you live ?

choosing the components yourself could end up being a bit cheaper

[stray pulsar]

Im from Germany. Shop close to me would ask 300 euros more I think from what I’ve heard

[latent aurora]

A month ago 😄

[stray pulsar]

What specs do you have ?

[latent aurora]

.

[stray pulsar]

How much did you pay for that ?

[latent aurora]

1100€

[agile ermine]

im pretty sure you can find a website where you can get a similar pc for cheaper

but im not familiar with specialized resellers in germany

I only know caseking, but their configurator is a bit scuffed iirc

[latent aurora]

I selected all parts by hand and built it myself

[agile ermine]

yeah but that's not what he wants

of course its much cheaper to select the parts from different websites to build the pc by yourself

but the options are limited if you don't want to build a pc

[stray pulsar]

I was looking at some prices and the build I posted here, is not really cheaper if I build it myself

[raw hull]

It may not be cheap, but compared to prebuilts with similar or identical specs it will be cheaper

[agile ermine]

it totally is

you have to do a bit of research to get cheaper components

[severe sage]

It probably depends on his location I suppose, occasionally there might not be much in it.

[agile ermine]

but you can get a similar build as the one you sent for at least 200€ cheaper

he lives in germany

[stray pulsar]

There musst be some sites in don’t know of. But the sites I looked at are not really cheaper.

[severe sage]

Ah yes, not obvious at all

[agile ermine]

people tend to go for Amazon

[stray pulsar]

We have a site called hatdwaredealz and they link you to Amazon

[agile ermine]

but there are a lot of less known websites that can be cheaper

[stray pulsar]

Problem with those sites are if they not trusted I won’t buy from them

[agile ermine]

pcpartpicker can be very useful if you build your own pc

you just have to set your location properly

[stray pulsar]

Yeah I know that one

[stray pulsar]

I have

But thanks I will have a look if I can build it for cheaper

[simple citrus]

https://www.alternate.de/
not sure if you'll find cheaper tho. just sharing a good website

[stray pulsar]

Yeah thanks. I already looked at Alternate 🙂

[simple citrus]

[simple citrus]

these specs are wrong btw.
it says DDR4 but that motherboard is DDR5

unless there's a DDR4 version of those motherboards... hm

god damn brands recycling board names

the photo is not showing the actual parts, that's for sure.
cuz that's a corsair aio

bit cheaper than mifcom

[stray pulsar]

Yeah that’s what I’ve seen that it’s not really that cheaper then just buying on

[simple citrus]

true

building one is an experience tho

[stray pulsar]

That’s the problem. I would build I myself, but if something breaks and it’s my fault then yeah wasted money.

[simple citrus]

You won't break anything

I believe in you

And each parts you buy has its own warranty

[agile ermine]

well no, the warranty isn't for when you break the parts

though building a pc isn't that hard, it just takes some time when you don't know where you're going

but there are plenty of good tutorials to build a pc, and the parts manuals will tell you the rest

[simple citrus]

neither if you break your prebuilt pc on purpose

[severe sage]

PC components are stronger than you expect, except for CPU and motherboard pins. I've dropped my fair share of GPUs which have never broken hehe

You're on the bit i mentioned ye?

[eternal cliff]

[sterile laurel]

you said to go from the search

[eternal cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/smart-thinking-thoughts-think-ponder-gif-7713620

[sterile laurel]

and use this

but that

[tribal violet]

this

[sterile laurel]

is useless

[rigid dirge]

ill let andy help you

[sterile laurel]

you never said that-

[tribal violet]

[sterile laurel]

and how do i go back to W10? Im already giving up with this

yeah i was on that andy

clicking this

[tribal violet]

:dindk

[sterile laurel]

brings me to this

[tribal violet]

wrong page

[sterile laurel]

I know

I blame W11

[tribal violet]

No. Blame yourself

[sterile laurel]

rude

cant even format it wtf

[tribal violet]

Are there any partitions on the drive? in the selects above that?

[tribal violet]

this bit

[sterile laurel]

ah yes

help

[tribal violet]

[sterile laurel]

me rn fr

[eternal cliff]

[sterile laurel]

so uh.. how does one get it to work

[eternal cliff]

buy new ssd

[tribal violet]

On file explorer. Does the drive look ready to use?

[sterile laurel]

nop

[sterile laurel]

im getting this one to work it was free

[tribal violet]

Is it a new drive that you added to the PC?

[sterile laurel]

I got 5 in total

Yeah I put it in yesterday

[tribal violet]

Oh

[sterile laurel]

new to me drive

[eternal cliff]

just use reset this pc option

[sterile laurel]

NAH

[tribal violet]

So that same menu i shown earlier ye? this bit where all the drives show

[sterile laurel]

yeahh

[tribal violet]

Find the drive

[sterile laurel]

its in there

[tribal violet]

Right click it

[tribal violet]

would usually allow you to create a disk format, add a drive letter then auto format it

[sterile laurel]

Yup I know

Might go get my Win10 install USB and format it though that xD

[cold frigate]

Does the drive appear in the list above?

It should.

[tribal violet]

Ye, this is the drive

[cold frigate]

Right click and set it as active.

[sterile laurel]

Its alive, Just not able to be used xD

It is active

Its online

[cold frigate]

Okay, then you need to allocate the partition.

[sterile laurel]

well thats a lie

i want to format it so its all 1 partition

[cold frigate]

It's best to use DISKPART for that.

[tribal violet]

Did you manually add a partition to the drive? Noticed something from your drive list earlier

[sterile laurel]

I aint touched the drive since I installed it

[tribal violet]

[sterile laurel]

It was used as a old boot drive in a sensitive document pc

so idk what they did to it to remove the data

[tribal violet]

[cold frigate]

They just formatted it.

If you're comfortable in command line, you can use Diskpart https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/diskpart

If not, I think there are plenty of free 3rd party tools to configure drives and partitions.

[oak onyx]

those are some pretty small drives

*the last 2

[sterile laurel]

They are used for pics and stuff

[sterile laurel]

o

gimme

[oak onyx]

the 2tb m.2 is used for like games and stuff I want fast. HDD is just anything inbetween lol. pics, random files, etc

[sterile laurel]

my bank account is empty me need space

holup

is your 2TB named Bubblegum Pink?

[oak onyx]

yea

[sterile laurel]

Awesome

[oak onyx]

I bought that m.2 for like 70 quid?

[polar lance]

ehhh

[sterile laurel]

oh you lucky mf where from

[oak onyx]

Amazon on prime day

[oak onyx]

now that's a large system reserve

[polar lance]

HDD problems haha

[meager maple]

Since its kind of car/tech related, I'll ask here first.

Due to the age of my car (18 y/o) the loudspeakers are not the finesse. Meaning if I wanna do a Disco-Mobilé, they dont sound too good with the bass I'd like to have.
Changing the speakers is a possible solution, yet not the one I'm seeking for - in case I wanna switch cars (either because I have to or because I can) I eventually cannot take these speakers with me.
So my solution would be a little but fine subwoofer - enough power yet not overdoing it and me getting sent to space 😂

If anyone of you here did something like I did with a subwoofer, any pointer what brand/set you took and how the build-in process were 🙂

Thanks in Advance!

[polar lance]

Either a sub or a amp, I’d look for a reliable brand and at least more then 200w

[cold frigate]

It massively depends on what you want. If you just want a little extra thump for yourself, you genuinely could just replace the factory speakers with higher quality ones and the difference would be plenty.

But if you have the space, you could just buy a prebuilt subwoofer and box with intergrated amp, which won't break the bank and can be easily removed if you need it.

Also, if you car has an OEM headunit, you'd need to confirm that there are extra RCA outputs so you can actually connect the amp to it.

[latent aurora]

Well, I want it to be removed easily, in case I want/need to switch the car (on whatever reason), thus replacing the current speakers is a for me.

No, I do have a head unit from JVC which does have SW Output

[cold frigate]

Then the world is your oyster.

[latent aurora]

Sure? 😅

Well

I found some kits already for about 150 - 200 €

I guess thats a good price range - cant really go above that 😅

[cold frigate]

What's included in the kit?

[latent aurora]

cables, subwoofer, amp, everything

[cold frigate]

Fuse for the amp wiring as well? Volume/Amp switch?

[latent aurora]

It's either that one: https://amzn.eu/d/8MIUDYM or https://amzn.eu/d/amA8Ol3 but the first one is basically an AIO, just need the wiring. so I'd be about around 170€

[cold frigate]

The first one is only 8 inch, which is a bit small. Second one looks good but I never heard of the brand before, and the rating is only 3.8.

But second one is 12 inch, and has an inline fuse. So that's good.

[latent aurora]

and its within my price range 😄

the worst part: its not as it should be - but I do hope that its working out, when choosing the second one

[cold frigate]

What car is it?

[latent aurora]

A Skoda Fabia Soul 2006 😄

its a hatchback sedan 😄 (if translated correctly)

[cold frigate]

Yes okay. I was just looking at alternatives or individual components that were in your budget but were from brands that were more reputable. If budget was about 250, it would've been better.

But no problem. Also, try looking at other retailers, and automotive tuning stores for better prices.

[latent aurora]

well, 250 is okay - but then it really should have everything in it - but I really really really cant go above that 😅

[cold frigate]

Okay, I will post links in a moment.

[spiral yew]

realistically it's not really that large of a system reserve especially if you use it for gaming cause i have a 2TB SSD that only has 151GB left

[cold frigate]

Subwoofer with built in amp. The wiring kit is also posted just below. 248 euro.

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/TSWX400DA-Pioneer-TS-WX400DA-Subwoofer-Black/dp/B07NS9LMN6/ref=sr_1_9?c=ts&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.oYXyEbPwEkZdhxzFrfpWe7kGUkC01v-c9jbLSJzUBimrBKeNEBK6phaNa6qJueBAcZuvNHjHVXJ-HjEQMMbI8PsqPiaxzRO0u_PM4Mk22kKxjfdinH7eQ0Q17WVye9CavNcc2mLNkVN07tqK9VjSYvGhsKCJrwgsTP4awr9n_sm5SjoGQJMpgWZPDaT2bkwzldewNdMCnJ6YctVlQzz8lwBY4op7nV2sSukfPtATv3wfgjoqLlxQTg_NZHYbmr15IU-KzPaksifzKrxI0GlXpEIE4HQ3l3eVdChl-z16MIE.2-wAqNoHM2FTsc4xlAEPYUjtrn1Zjs-NFMPodzIBBFQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=Car+Enclosed+Subwoofer+Systems&qid=1715800502&refinements=p_72%3A419117031&rnid=419116031&s=ce-de&sr=1-9&ts_id=3468031

[latent aurora]

216€

thats fine

[cold frigate]

It has very good rating, and many reviews.

[latent aurora]

ah, yeah. fair 😂

[cold frigate]

Also, it's packaged nice, and there's an image so you can see how big it is.

It'll be easy to remove.

[latent aurora]

Awesome! I saved it and will order it when money will flow again

[cold frigate]

But to be honest, it's still not as big as the other Crunch one. There are some good amps and normal subs at this price, but you want something you can remove easily.

[latent aurora]

I can't thank you enough! 😄

Yeah, a quick removal is good 😄

[cold frigate]

No problem. You should read the reviews first before you make the decision. They're all in German so, I don't understand...

But I hope it's what you're looking for, and is loud enough for you.

[latent aurora]

Haha - thank you

Yeah, since I can hear low frequencies the best, I figured just a sub will solve it, as the mid/tweeters are in original pretty good but just the bass s*cks

[cold frigate]

Before anything, here's a video of someone playing it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjSkm7F9KPI

I hope that's what you want.

It's a compact subwoofer, meant for small spaces. If it's not enough, I think the best buy would be the second one you posted.

[latent aurora]

will take a look onto it later

[spiral yew]

maurice if it's not enough bass just go look for one of those bass car meetups and you'll find out real soon which car is the loudest

[latent aurora]

🤣

Well, that..... that is true

[signal nymph]

is tmp still only 1.49?

or does tmp support 1.50

[latent aurora]

wrong channel

but its still supporting 1.49

[signal nymph]

"Whatever technology based."

[latent aurora]

still wrong channel

technology isnt software imho

[signal nymph]

i mean it is

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=is+software+technology&sca_esv=0a002056b542477b&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ADLYWILD0dJ3_BQE35HB5RcGUNcNtha-ZA%3A1715803137256&source=hp&ei=ARRFZvSyDYSZhbIPtuWHyAQ&iflsig=AL9hbdgAAAAAZkUiEQpTKcA2vpHA3hV__DbOJ8fFqSiF&oq=is+software+tech&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhBpcyBzb2Z0d2FyZSB0ZWNoKgIIADIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyCBAAGBYYHhgPMgYQABgWGB4yCBAAGBYYHhgPMgYQABgWGB4yBhAAGBYYHjIGEAAYFhgeSPwiUABYihVwAHgAkAEBmAGRAqABkgyqAQU1LjcuMbgBAcgBAPgBAZgCDKACogrCAggQABiABBixA5gDAJIHAzUuN6AHkFA&sclient=gws-wiz

[polar lance]

I mean it isn’t

[vernal crystal]

did you just read one sentence or the whole article?

cuz this is the article you got it from

[signal nymph]

software is still considered technological

[polar lance]

It’s considered technically yeah but it’s not appropriate for this channel

[signal nymph]

have i hurt anyone by doing so?

[polar lance]

Not really they were just telling you where to go instead

[signal nymph]

well yes or no?

[polar lance]

But yeah, anything technology based means electrical wise

[signal nymph]

not "not really"

[polar lance]

It’s not going to hurt someone’s feelings using the wrong channel, god we ain’t a bunch of 12 year olds

[signal nymph]

exactly

so what was the need to point out i put it in this channel

[polar lance]

It was a polite message to say wrong channel.

[signal nymph]

if i havent harmed anyone then why bother??

"wrong channel"

doesnt really come across as polite either

[polar lance]

Moving like mr Daniel from #programming message

Going to leave you be 😂

[signal nymph]

was that necessary?

[signal nymph]

anyways i have made my point

[west phoenix]

This is where is Discord mods could enforce the 2.2 of our #discord-rules since your message wasn't tech related, and could easily had been asked and gotten answer in #guests

[simple citrus]

y'all goofy

[polar lance]

dont talk about yourself

[sterile laurel]

@tribal violet rate my bottleneck xD

ets2 at ultra on 1.50

[tribal violet]

Oh yea Pretty much a lot of people

[sterile laurel]

Thats still a stable 30fps xD

On high I get 80fps xD

[summer quartz]

Why do you need 4 disks?

[sterile laurel]

Why not?

I plan on getting another 2

[simple citrus]

only 4

[sterile laurel]

I had 5 yesterday

[simple citrus]

gotta have all the storage for games

https://tenor.com/view/more-kylo-ren-adam-driver-screaming-star-wars-gif-17734637

[vernal crystal]

should i upgrade for trucky and ets2 new update and ofc tmp.

[agile ermine]

are you happy with how your pc performs ? if yes, then don't change anything. If no, then upgrade.

[keen cave]

my "bottle neck"

gpu never gets stressed cuase my moniters wont go past 1080p

also makes it run hot for some reason

[acoustic sinew]

Yall does it matter if game specs recommend you use a rtx 2070 but the minimum is a 1060? I got. 3050

[cold frigate]

It doesn't. You'll just have to run lower graphics is all.

[spiral yew]

how's my "bottle neck"

[hard acorn]

Dose anyone know how to solve this

[mighty idol]

not related to tech

at all

[nova hazel]

yes I know how to solve that issue

I don't know how to solve that issue, sorry.

[ancient compass]

my pc negs yalls

[mossy crown]

damm some ancient piece

[ancient compass]

believe me or not i game on it

[mossy crown]

if it works it works

[ancient compass]

🙂

[mossy crown]

funfact that was my first cpu i got

[ancient compass]

my first one was a Core 2 Duo E8400

beast for it's time but can't do anything nowadays

[mossy crown]

yeah same had a Radeon 6650HD thought was a good gpu after i bought a 1060 6gb day and night performence in ETS 2

[median dirge]

Anyone know if Hori will sell that button box/shifter separately? 🤔

[west phoenix]

When asked they initially said that it's a package deal, no idea if they plan on changing that

[median dirge]

Man.. if only that wheel was direct drive. that bundle would have been a really good deal

idk if i can justify going from a Moza to that just for the box/shifter..

[hollow shell]

Does anyone have any suggestions? What in-game settings would you adjust to ensure the cars don't formulate when they are 1 meter apart but earlier and also that the surrounding environment loads faster?

[snow nymph]

Hello!

I'm new here.

[polar lance]

Yes hello

[native swan]

Damn my old computer was a fx8350 and a 970 and I thought that was ancient what in the living hell 💀

FYI I gave that computer to my brother and he still uses it as well, Still runs almost all games on low

[native swan]

https://tenor.com/view/computer-gif-21610643

Bros computer

[native swan]

Your always ganna have a bottle neck, Get that thought that bottleneck is some sort of big huge problem out of your thick skull. Who ever told you that has a brain the size of a peanut and I would never take there advice again.

Even if you had a 4090 with a i3 your computer would function, It would just be working harder

[native swan]

Everyone needs to realize bottlenecking is not a big deal lol. What is it with this channel & bottlenecking. Unless you have a $1200 gpu & a $200 cpu it's not a big deal and even then it's not that bad unless your on 4k then everything is a big deal lol

I can't read any further I am ganna lose my mind 💀

@untold parrot look at this man like wtf

[ancient compass]

didnt fx cpus used to run at sun's temperature lol

[native swan]

Yea 😂 I can still remember turning my old computer on for the first time before putting the new case on and my room turning into a desert literally

I would be sweating like I had just ran a marathon while I was playing intensive games like DCS

[ancient compass]

decent pc nice

[summer quartz]

decent? this is the biggest jump i had ever, before this, i had an pc from 2007

at least, it had 8 gb ram

if i didnt had this pc, then i wouldnt have all the dlcs...

so i am very thankful with this pc

[ancient compass]

fr going from ancient hardware to something fairly modern feels like heaven

[raw hull]

going from integrated graphics on a 4th gen intel to a dedicated gpu is heaven

[simple citrus]

bet

[native swan]

Wait til you see my new 1. I will post it later today

[ancient compass]

you could mean anything

like going to from hd 4600 to a gt 210 💀

[median dirge]

Does anyone know if ETS telemetry is enabled by default or how to enable it? (P.s asking cause i dont have ETS installed, and considering setting up a new rig) ❤️

[pliant comet]

Telemetry API initializes automatically when the plugin, which uses it is loaded on startup. If there are no plugins installed, telemetry API isn't initialized. When telemetry API is initialized, you'll get a prompt on the launchpad. That prompt needs to be confirmed with OK button.

[median dirge]

got it! thanks

[woeful elk]

i think i need an upgrade soon

gonna just buy a new pc

1660ti is starting to not run so smooth

[mighty idol]

aw hell nah man I ain't upgrading

except if microsoft can treat me a new gaming pc then I'm okay with that obv

[vernal ridge]

you have to be careful to opt out of W11 if you're not ready yet

we've still got nearly 18 months until W10 support stops

[oak onyx]

And I aint switching until it stops

[vernal crystal]

i got both win10 and win11

[latent aurora]

After Win10 support drops I'll be using Linux cba with w11

[cerulean bluff]

what is wrong with my wifi, other things work fine

[cold frigate]

Probably the host is slow.

[polar lance]

I still won’t switch

[mighty idol]

well, this picture speaks for itself I guess

[native swan]

I prefer 11

Way more sleek

[polar lance]

Less optimised and the ui looks terrible

Imo

[native swan]

I like the ui more than 10 bur thats my opinion

[polar lance]

Can’t even use small task bar icons anymore with it, a good feature that isn’t supported

[native swan]

I am sure there is a app for it in the microsoft store

[polar lance]

The only thing that looks better is the file explorer yeah, but that can be changed in win 10 with ui themes that look better then that

[native swan]

Taskbar looks better to wdym lol

way better

[polar lance]

all depends on person tbf

[native swan]

I garrentee you can with a app

[polar lance]

i do love my small icons

[polar lance]

it is possible yes

i used to have a theme which looked amazing before i reset my system. didnt bother re installing it

[native swan]

I use TranslusentTB & lockscreen Wallpaper synchronizer

[polar lance]

i used to have ttb, wallpaper engine the goat tho

[native swan]

I use that as well. Im just in love with my current wallpaper

[polar lance]

can tell its your pfp too

[native swan]

same with my phone lol

[polar lance]

😭

[native swan]

told you I am in love

[polar lance]

i had one similar to this

[polar lance]

https://github.com/ChrisAnd1998/TaskbarX

[native swan]

I use microsoft store apps. I am just scared of getting a virus. I downloaded a mod off of github once and almost got f*ked lol

[polar lance]

depends on what you download, i rarley do from github. Some have a supposedly good looking repo and still are dodgy so i wouldnt trust many people on there.

[native swan]

I am allways modding but I refuse to use github from now on

[polar lance]

i have seen a few good looking repos which are dodgy tbh

[native swan]

Thats what happend to me

[polar lance]

ahh

[native swan]

I got lucky I had 11's defender

[polar lance]

some can get past windows defender

[native swan]

ik

it was literally trojan.exe

[polar lance]

😭

howd you fall for that one then

[native swan]

that was the file deep inside the file defender got I am not that stupid lol

[polar lance]

ahh, files inside of files never fail to amaze me

[native swan]

it found it quick thankfully before it did any damage

[polar lance]

as long as rtp is on you should be alright most of the times

[native swan]

what is rtp?

[polar lance]

real time protection

[native swan]

oh yea allways lol

Why a second pc though?

For streaming then overall just.. Idk... Would be nice to have..

[latent aurora]

what in the world is that pc design i've seen some weird designs but that just takes it to another level

also good luck trying to upgrade that in the future if you end up buying it

[severe sage]

Although it looks visually interesting, it will be a pain to work on if something goes wrong or you want to upgrade further down the line. I wouldn't be surprised if the 3080 is limited by thermals as well.

Guys, i need help. LIKE VERY. so uh i just bought a g27 and for some reason i cant turn it fully 900 degress and the h shifter is not working. Can someone PLEASE help me here?

[severe sage]

Have you installed all the necessary software and made sure everything is plugged in correctly/fully?

[sand valley]

i plugged in everything, but i can get all the necessary softwares

[severe sage]

https://support.logi.com/hc/en-hk/articles/360024155954--Getting-Started-G27-Racing-Wheel I'd recommend following the set up guide again very carefully, it should hopefully fix any of your issues

[sand valley]

so it worked, but my steering wheel is acting up

i cant do a full 900 degress turn

[severe sage]

Physically or virtually?

[sand valley]

virtually

[severe sage]

In every game you've tested of just ETS2?

[sand valley]

ive only tested ets2

[severe sage]

You've made sure that ingame under the controls section you've done the input wizard and ensured it's set to 900⁰ rotation?

[sand valley]

yup

i can send you a clip if you want

[severe sage]

Sure

[sand valley]

uh

I have a tablet which has intel atom zf3735f and has broken android 4.4.4 that cant even open OS. How can I install linux on it

[severe sage]

I think we have a winner for most potato CPU user in this channel

[verbal dirge]

Emm thats my old tablet, not my laptop

[severe sage]

Ah I see, still awful either way though haha

Although that said, windows 10 on that thing would be an experience

[verbal dirge]

Where is the windows 10 comes from, I said linux

[severe sage]

I know lol, hypothetically that is , linix might be borderline usable hehe

[cold frigate]

https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/bltqjh/linux_on_intel_atom_bay_trail_laptops_is_it/

I think you're better off just installing a custom ROM and using it like a normal Android device.

[verbal dirge]

thanks

Nevermind it can be dusty at shelf again

[mighty idol]

waita minute

if it's intel atom, but running an android, what's the arch it's on tho? x86? arm?

[verbal dirge]

I remember its x86, I'm not sure about it btw

[woeful elk]

i dont know much about drives and i thought that switching from HDD to SSD would only effect my loadspeed (which it has, i load very fast now) but for some reason my cpu and gpu temps are also down by over 10c.. is this related or is it something else?

[mighty idol]

well technically, ssd produce less heat than hdd (no moving parts), and when assets can load faster, gpu can render faster and cpu can process faster

there's so many factor but in simple terms it be like that

[woeful elk]

ah i knew the first part about heat but for some reaosn the rendering didnt click lol

appreciate it

its taken me from 75c to 65c

[mighty idol]

nvme or sata btw?

[woeful elk]

i forgot one sec let me just pull itno this gas

massive queue so might be 5m

i believe its nvme but ill double check

nvme

[mighty idol]

yeah even better

those load time gonna improve by a lot

[woeful elk]

yeah its amazing lmao

[pliant comet]

Switching from SATA HDD to SATA SSD already makes a huge difference. Switching to NVME SSD takes that to the next level.

[mighty idol]

[errant cave]

hello good evening i want to ask is the GPU GTX 750 TI worth it or suitable to play euro truck simulator games?
Thank you

[mighty idol]

in general depending on the VRAM that's on the card....it should be okay I think

low-med graphics quality

also depends on overal system specs

[errant cave]

What is the minimum or recommended GPU to use?

Can I use i3 4160 RAM 16 GB to play euro truck simulator games?

[mighty idol]

the cpu might suffer but the game will run

[polar lance]

Yeah lol

I play on a i5 3470 and 16GB ram currently but am upgrading

[mighty idol]

there you go

[errant cave]

What GPU are you using?

[errant cave]

thanks you brother

[polar lance]

GTX 960

[errant cave]

how many FPS can be obtained?

[polar lance]

I get 40 on ultra

pushing my luck in populated areas 25

[errant cave]

According to you, which one is better between GTX 960 and GTX 750 TI?

[agile ermine]

eh, depends of what you call "populated"

960 is better

[errant cave]

oke thanks you

[sand valley]

Looks like steam community is down.

Oh? "just had issues".

& back offline. ugh.

[polar lance]

anyone here got a ryzen 5 3600 gtx 1660 6gb

[woeful elk]

Anyone elses g29 increase cpu temps by 10c?

And gpu

[ionic mango]

I have laptop RTX 4070 and still lag in Duisburg on mid graphics

[polar lance]

Ah it will as it’s a more compact version of the gpu and in populated areas you do tend to lag

[agile ermine]

every single computer lags on heavily populated areas in TMP anyways

[simple bobcat]

Eh my NASA computer doesn't I'm afraid meaning your statement is wrong.

[severe sage]

Not even a NASA computer could run 100+ driver areas above 60 FPS

[keen cave]

i can lol

well 40-50fps but close enough

[woeful elk]

my performance and pc thermals increase when im using my g29 is that normal

sorry im slow

[latent aurora]

I highly doubt that your wheel is causing your system to produce more heat 🙂

[woeful elk]

it seems to be the case though

i thought it was stupid at first

but everytime i plug in my wheel my gpu and cpu go up 5-10c

[mighty idol]

[latent aurora]

5-10 ° are not that much lol

[woeful elk]

yes but 10c is an increase

when its from 70 to 80 it matters to me

[latent aurora]

whilst gaming or idle?

[woeful elk]

gaming; and i know its safe but im just wondering why it seems to do it

unless its the logitech software

but i cant see it increasing that much

[latent aurora]

if its in gaming, then its not that bad; if it were in idle, then I'd be careful.

[woeful elk]

yeah im like 30-50 idle

[latent aurora]

Eventually repasting your CPU with fresh thermal paste - eventually its overdue 😄

[woeful elk]

not so easy for me im using a gaming laptop :((

[latent aurora]

Sounds fine to me - I sit around 35 - 45 °C idling

[woeful elk]

ive opened it up to clean it

ah

i gave it a good cleaning the other week and bought it down 10c

while gaming

[latent aurora]

then I am even less surprised 😂 laptops are known to be bad coolable

[woeful elk]

yeah well mine used to be

that is when im running it on silent

but silent works fine for most stuff

performance and turbo mode is a diff story

very unbalanced as it just takes my temps up to 99c

[latent aurora]

its a laptop

my "old" laptop did about 95°C at gaming - whilst on a cooling pad - whilst repasting it every 3 months to keep it really fresh

laptops are bad coolable 😄

[woeful elk]

i know, im happy with my temps

i just dont understand how it increases during wheel use

or do you think the cause is something else?

[latent aurora]

well, wheel needs a software (the ghub), more software = more cpu processing power = more heat producing

its that simple

🙂

[woeful elk]

ok that was what i was thinking

thank you

[woeful elk]

ok

[agile ermine]

though the Logitech software shouldn't put that much extra stress on your CPU... unless it's really weak, maybe ? otherwise, it's really weird

[simple citrus]

could be a thing

[spiral yew]

The G29 is far from a direct drive wheel

[polar lance]

Ini

[torn sail]

could me mounting pressure

try slightly bending the mount to increasing the pressure

[pliant comet]

Cleaning the cooling system is also important.

[worldly barn]

Among with a good brand thermal paste ofc xD

[raw hull]

most of the time there's negligible differences unless you buy watery goop from ali express

[sterile laurel]

Anyone use dual screens for tmp? If so, Could I get your configs? Mine is annoying me and I dont know how to fix it

[spiral yew]

Trying to use 2 monitors on ets2/ats isn't worth the struggle cause it's never gonna look right

[sterile laurel]

I have it nearly right

[coarse ice]

Why cant i post pictures

I need help

[brisk meteor]

İ7-14700K I think it will catch fire soon 😄

[cold frigate]

Only 52% load...

[spiral yew]

you need better cooling since the cpu is already thermal throttling

[brisk meteor]

i use msi 360r v2 it but I think it's not enough

[spiral yew]

what case do you have and how many fans you got

[brisk meteor]

gamepower warcry, 6 fans +3 fans liquid cooling fan total 9 fans

[spiral yew]

no wonder your cpu get's over heated there is no airflow except for the fans and it's all glass which is even worse cause glass reflects heat

i have the corsair 7000D airflow case and 6 intake fans and 1 exhaust

do you even have exhaust fans?

[polar lance]

is that a prebuilt

[brisk meteor]

I bought and assembled it all myself.

[brisk meteor]

I gave some importance to its visuality, but at the same time, I tried not to compromise on performance.

[brisk meteor]

no i have a tablet there xD

[polar lance]

very bright

[spiral yew]

you need exhaust fans

[polar lance]

atleast 1 yer

[spiral yew]

without exhaust fans your pc is an oven

if you don't wanna remove the screen at least take off the front glass panel

[brisk meteor]

Since liquid cooling fans provide air flow from inside to outside, they remove all the air inside the case from the inside to the outside.

[spiral yew]

that not how it works

[polar lance]

you still need 1

[brisk meteor]

for what

[spiral yew]

exhaust

[polar lance]

to take the heat out?

ur pc is just suffering atp

[spiral yew]

liquid cooling does not replace the air inside the case

[spiral yew]

your are killing your pc by not exhausting air from the inside of the pc

[spiral yew]

that 2.1G cpu clock is due to the pc thermal throttling due to the high temps

[brisk meteor]

I turned off Intel Turbo Boost, it is currently between 50 and 60 degrees.

[spiral yew]

my i9-10900k is currently at 29c cause i have my fans set correctly

[brisk meteor]

You're right, but I don't have much budget for a new replacement right now.

[spiral yew]

just change your fans around

[brisk meteor]

I think I'll use it like this a little bit

[spiral yew]

have the 3 bottom be a exhaust and the 3 on the side become intake

[brisk meteor]

okey mate

[spiral yew]

you'll see a improvement of temps

[brisk meteor]

If this works I will send you a thank you message.

thx mate for help

[severe sage]

From my view I see all exhaust fans and no intakes.

[spiral yew]

all exhaust would be better than no exhaust

[keen cave]

change the bottom and back/side fan orientation all your fans are set to exhaust so there not actually taking in any fresh cool air for a easy and siomple test just put a peice of paper over where you think the air is coming out or in if its pulling in it will suck the paper agaisnt the case or push away if exhaust also looks liek your cpus safteys are turned off as most cpus would shutoff your pc past 90c

[severe sage]

It has a max T Junction temperature of 100ºC so it is within the expected range. The 14700k usually runs hot anyway so I'm not particularly surprised it's in the 90 degree range.

[agile ermine]

eh, even with intake fans the cpu might still overheat, because intel

what's the TDP on these ? 250W ?

[keen cave]

at that temp god only knows lol

[keen cave]

i panic when my cpu hits 70 lol 90 is nuclear to me

[severe sage]

Somewhere around 250 I believe

At 50% load though it is a bit higher than I'd have expected, might be down to the msi AIO which in itself is a concern

[keen cave]

i think its purely the fan setup

[agile ermine]

90 is still kinda fine, for example newest AMD CPUs are designed to be pinned at 95°C while running as fast as they can... but when it's thermal throttling that hard it's really bad

yeah, MSI AiOs aren't the best either

[keen cave]

my 3950 gets pegged at 100% for hours on end in vr and barely ever gets past 60c

[severe sage]

Possibly, but looking on amazon reviews most say it has great airflow in most likely the same configuration.

That said, it could be a simple fan curve fix 🤔

[agile ermine]

yeah, I was talking about the newest AMD CPUs, your 3950 is already 4 years old

[keen cave]

its the worst possible configuration lol

[keen cave]

still top of the line

[severe sage]

Mmm, it's obviously not ideal but having all exhaust on 9 fans shouldn't be too detrimental.

[agile ermine]

you'd be surprised by how much CPUs have evolved in the past few years

[severe sage]

I still think 8th gen intel is top end

[agile ermine]

and 8th gen intel is nowhere to be found in the benchmarks nowadays

[keen cave]

well seeing how what would be the only open air intake is covered by a dumb screen makign airflow even worse its deff not helping

[severe sage]

Surprising as everyone had a 8700k hehe

[severe sage]

Also true.

[agile ermine]

remember back when the 9900K was the real top dog, before intel decided that every cpu should run as hot as the sun ?

[keen cave]

remmber back when ddr3 was the shit lol

back in the days of a 10gb downlaod for the entire game never needing a patch

[agile ermine]

eh, that's still the case

[severe sage]

9th generation I'd always forgotten about, I think it was the last with the XE and black editions iirc

[agile ermine]

nope, last XEs were 10th gen

[keen cave]

what intel gen was 1151? the oen that had liek 4 varients for the same socket

[agile ermine]

it was 6th gen to 10th gen I think

[severe sage]

Huh really? Can't remember a XE variant 😅

[agile ermine]

nevermind, 9th gen was the last using 1151

[agile ermine]

the 10980XE

[severe sage]

Oh yeah, I remember actually.

The one good thing with new generations coming out is finally no cheap prebuilts are shipped with AMD A series chips, a lot of people got caught with that.

[agile ermine]

eh, A series chipsets are fine nowadays, as long as you're not planning on installing too much stuff in your PC

[keen cave]

by a series i assume you mean like am4 am5 etc

never seen the term "a series" before

[agile ermine]

nonono, the chipset isn't the socket

[severe sage]

Nah, A8s and A10s etc.

[agile ermine]

A-series chipsets are A320, A520, A620, etc

[keen cave]

dont even know what those are lol

green pcbs n stuff lol

[severe sage]

No the CPUs, but A series mobos are also awful hehe

[brisk meteor]

Does the processor shut down to protect itself when it gets too hot?

Is there a limit for this?

100 degree or 105-110 etc

[brisk meteor]

I tried it and they push air in.

[keen cave]

i mean for msot things am4/5 is perfectly fine and alot of cases like usieng programs liek blender or unity is alot better then intel and especilly in vr amd cpus have always been more stable under vr load

[agile ermine]

basically, you can find different chipsets on motherboards. Let's take AM5 boards : you have A620 on the low end (low amount of PCI-e lanes, no overclocking, slower USB with less available connectors, less SATA ports...), B650 in the mid-range (adds overclocking, PCI-e gen 5, faster USB) and X670 for the top of the line (more of everything)

and that's kinda like that for every available CPU socket

[severe sage]

It does, but before that it will begin to thermal throttle which is essentially slowing its performance down to generate less heat, it will continue to do this aggressively to keep temperatures in safe regions but if temperatures keep rising it will turn itself off.

[agile ermine]

and motherboards with cheap sockets usually have less functionnalities overall (2 ram slots instead of 4, no support for fast ram, not a lot of fan plugs, no rgb plug, etc...) while higher-end motherboards have some fancy stuff like reinforced pci-e slots, overkill power supply system, lots of connectivity, etc...

[severe sage]

In your case @brisk meteor , your CPU will reach 100ºC before starting to thermal throttle and will turn off only a few degrees above this.

[brisk meteor]

These fans already draw air in

@spiral yew

[agile ermine]

pretty sure they dont

if the fan is stopped you can easily see wether it pulls air in or pushes it out

but given the way it looks, since most fans are designed the same way, they're not drawing any air in

[spiral yew]

i would keep the front panel off so the hot air has somewhere to escape and yes having that screen covering the only 2 exhaust fan slots is pretty bad

[agile ermine]

eh, he has 9 other exhausts fans anyways

[spiral yew]

also i care more about airflow than looks

[agile ermine]

you can have both

[spiral yew]

why would i care bout looks when my desk is full of monitors

[agile ermine]

I personally care about looks, but not that kind of looks

never been a fan of RGBs, I'd rather have something that looks sleek

[spiral yew]

that's what my case looks like

[brisk meteor]

For me, it should look good as well as performance

[brisk meteor]

looks good

[flint egret]

The airflow looks horrible

[spiral yew]

it is horrible they blocked off the only 2 exhaust fan slots with a screen
