[agile ermine]

here's mine... small footprint, looks good, is still super fast

airflow is horrible though, had to install an SSD cooler

[spiral yew]

well yea that's what happens with those SFF cases

[agile ermine]

otherwise there's absolutely no air moving around the motherboard, since all the cooling is at the top

[spiral yew]

for it's do i want my pc to sound like a jet taking off

[agile ermine]

should've bought a motherboard with a built-in SSD cooling fan, but I realized that too late

honestly mine isn't too loud, the pump ramping up is a bit too much sometimes but that rarely happens as my CPU doesn't require a lot of power

GPU is really silent, same goes for the PSU since it's never fully loaded

[brisk meteor]

I found a nice fan to cool it down LOL

[languid oak]

Sir....

That doesn't work like that

😂

[polar lance]

Mhm

@spiral yew what do u recon

[spiral yew]

is there no room for the SSD in the back?

[polar lance]

Ehhhhhhh

It could go down there

[spiral yew]

that's the corsair 4000D right?

[polar lance]

Naaa

[spiral yew]

or wrong brand

[polar lance]

its a HCS case (HCS255W)

ive got room for more drives which i recon ill end up fitting soon

[spiral yew]

do you have dram rgb lighting?

[polar lance]

na

would be nice

itd be sat on a single colour either way

[spiral yew]

what's that orange light next to the dram then?

[severe sage]

Is that a 3060?

[polar lance]

XMP

oh wait

i suppose i could change the board colours

[polar lance]

1660

[spiral yew]

where is this light coming from

[polar lance]

mobo

[spiral yew]

those are some thick fans though

[polar lance]

😭

[spiral yew]

or do they look thick?

[polar lance]

i did take it on ultra wide idk if that made it look thick

[spiral yew]

oh that's probably why

[spiral yew]

those top 2 look like thick rad fans

[polar lance]

came with the case

[keen cave]

window rinse?

i use glasses lense cleaner and a microfiber cloth

[polar lance]

glass cleaner

[simple citrus]

move the radiator from the top to the backpanel, tubes on top.
that way your rad doesn't get fed with hot air

[languid oak]

I'll send in my pc

It's basic

[languid oak]

Was not arsed getting the glass off

[languid oak]

What gpu is that

[woeful light]

rtx 4070 super

[languid oak]

Nice

[woeful light]

my first pc that i build it myself

[languid oak]

fair play. well my pc consists of a 4060 ti

[languid oak]

she is a beauty

[simple citrus]

95% RGB 5% performance

I got the toothpaste ahh pc

[stark delta]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[cloud garden]

Now that is a lot of RGB

[sand valley]

damn this shi clean

[simple citrus]

[polar lance]

To much

[cloud garden]

Yea

[hot shore]

[severe sage]

Very nice, that PC case would be a nightmare for dust though

[hot shore]

That what i thought too, but it is actually pretty much the opposite. The fans are positioned in a way that everything gets blown out. A almost closed tower is way different of course.

To be fair i was concerned too with this open design.

[mental acorn]

Hi, I have a question. Which water cooling is good for the gaming area for gaming

[hot shore]

There are so many, it´s also budget related.
You can even dunk your entire pc under "water".

You cant go wrong with common ones i would say.
I use one from corsair which is a closed system.
You could also build your own fancy water cooling system.

[mental acorn]

can you send me a link to what kind of water cooling you have

[hot shore]

Corsair iCUE H150i Elite Capellix XT | 360mm, white

[spiral yew]

the so called "water" is mineral oil and you either need a fish tank or a plastic pc case

[hot shore]

Have you seen the 3 part build log from linus? That´s 9 years ago. time is flying...

[spiral yew]

don't really watch LTT youtube video's

[hot shore]

I mean, good for you.

[tiny flower]

does anyone know how to bypass this?

[polar lance]

Why would one need to bypass SSL

[fossil ember]

Got a question

Would a Ryzen 7 5700x with a rtx 4060 (8gb) and 32gb of ram be any good for tmp? What fps should I be thinking of then (on ultra graphics, assuming it can run on ultra )

[agile ermine]

On TMP ? Probably anywhere between 10 and 250 depending on the area you are in

[fossil ember]

areas like dusseldorf or cd road would be 10fps?

[simple citrus]

yes

[fossil ember]

thats even less then i got rn

[simple citrus]

well might not be exactly 10fps, it's just gonna be worse than anywhere else on the map

[fossil ember]

Yeah thatz what I got rn aswell

I got Ryzen 5 5675U pro with iGPU, I get around 15 - 20 fps around dusseldorf Kathode. On medium graphics

[agile ermine]

If I remember correctly, I get less than 10fps in the busiest areas with my laptop (Ryzen 7, RTX 4060) in 1440p max settings

But that's basically only in Calais or Duisburg where there are over 100 players loaded, the c-d is mostly fine

[fossil ember]

I plan on playing on 1080p, dont think my monitor can do 1440p, that'd boost fps, no?

[polar lance]

my i5 8500, 1660 Super gets 55fps on ultra in kathode and 40 in calais (100plr)

[slate bear]

if you're just gaming might be worth going for the 5700x3d depending what pricing is like in your country. would also consider a used 3060ti as it performs better or an amd gpu.

[polar lance]

wouldnt bother with a 4060 either, a 3060ti would out performe it i recon

@fossil ember https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-4060-vs-Nvidia-RTX-3060-Ti/4150vs4090

🤷‍♂️

[slate bear]

wouldn't use userbenchmark as a source. they're highly biased

[polar lance]

Even still, nothing has changed on the new cards tbf

[slate bear]

in this case though its about right

[polar lance]

Is he looking at prebuilt or building himself tho

[fossil ember]

Prebuild

Looking at this one

[polar lance]

You could build one yourself for cheaper

[fossil ember]

I dont think theres that much a price difference tbf

Maybe 10€

[polar lance]

a 3060ti would drop it, performance would be identical

[fossil ember]

I can look on pc builder

[agile ermine]

Yeah, that could give you something like a 50% boost, though tmp is hitting game engine limitations so it might not make that big of an upgrade

[fossil ember]

But pretty sure over here prebuilds are cheaper...plus I dont know the square root of jackshit about building pcs

[polar lance]

fairs

what website are you looking on?

[fossil ember]

Uh

https://rigbuilder.nl/winkel/game-pc-samenstellen/

[polar lance]

they dont do 30s cards

mhm

[agile ermine]

With that kind of specs, on an AM4 platform I'd say you can build a similar desktop pc for 150-200€ cheaper

[polar lance]

^^

[fossil ember]

What website would you recommend?

[polar lance]

im from the UK so might be different

[agile ermine]

30 series cards aren't really made anymore, so you'll hardly find one

[fossil ember]

Dont try dont win

[fossil ember]

The 4060 takes the 3060 by like the minimum

[polar lance]

ehhh

youd probs build that one they are selling for £750 - £800 dependent on where you get parts from ofc

and tbf, TMP it doesnt matter about system, i know people on 4070s and still get shat on in calais

its more CPU then GPU

[agile ermine]

Its more of a gpu issue, but mostly game engine overall

I had 2 computers with similar CPUs and one with a better GPU than the other, and that one had a much higher framerate

But in busy areas your framerate will be crap no matter what

[polar lance]

ye

i mean, i feel 45fps on ultra everything is fair for calais

[agile ermine]

45fps is hardly attainable though

[polar lance]

thats what i currently get in calais

lowest its dropped to is 32

which is still playable

for some people, they may have the best specs but still install the game onto a HDD which limits them even more

[agile ermine]

Lowest I've seen with my previous desktop was something like 15 (ryzen 5800X and rtx 3070 ti, 1440p) and less than 10 with my laptop (ryzen 7845hs and rtx 4060, 1440p)

[polar lance]

jesus

[agile ermine]

The hdd isn't much of an issue apart from the occasionnal autosaves

[polar lance]

even when there is no autosaves, it still shits itself

[agile ermine]

The framerate depends of a lot of things on tmp, I believe even stuff like blinking lights can be an issue

[polar lance]

beacons are annoying, and yeah they do drop frames for rendering more stuff

[agile ermine]

Never had issues when I was playing on an hdd years ago

What kind of issue was it ?

[polar lance]

my good friend @glossy rain loves HDD issues

🤣

[fossil ember]

so a higher end ryzen 7 would work just fine with 3060ti?

[polar lance]

either a R7, or a i7 if intel based

[fossil ember]

idm which cpu really

i got amd rn

[agile ermine]

A ryzen 5 would also be fine

[polar lance]

the 5600X ive heard good things about

[agile ermine]

If you don't go for a very high end gpu, you don't need a high end cpu

[fossil ember]

i want a 3060 at minimum tbf, just my dream build really

[polar lance]

the r5 5600x is probs on par with a i7-10700K

[agile ermine]

The 5600 isn't much slower than the 5600X but is much cheaper, I believe

[agile ermine]

In multithreaded applications, maybe, but I'd say the ryzen is better for everything else

[polar lance]

Mhm

[slate bear]

nah way more than that. prebuilts are at least 20% more expensive than building your own plus they often have bad parts choices

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/wt9Hyg

[fossil ember]

If I knew how to build a pc id do that, But I dont know the square root of jackshit abt it..Im too afraid to mess smth up worth nearly a grand.

[slate bear]

just watch a few youtube videos. or even just the one, linus tech tips has a few really good ~2 hour guides

[fossil ember]

Idk yet

Yes I want a new pc...but I atleast know the one I got in sight is good for what I wanna do

I mean Im confident itll play games like fs22, NFSMW2012, GTAV etc just fine

Or Beamng

[polar lance]

Fairs

[agile ermine]

It seems scary when you've never done it, but it's not that hard in reality

I'd say the hardest part is the CPU cooler installation, and even that isn't very hard if you can read a manual

Ah, and cable management, that one is annoying

[fossil ember]

I mean I am a expert at that...I turned my steering wheel cables into a circle, Ran it to the outlet, Ziptied the circle and managed it

[agile ermine]

You will understand the pain the day you build a pc

Depends a lot on the case you pick as well

[fossil ember]

I mean yes I want a pc...but first of all I gotta convince my parents

[agile ermine]

Well maybe start there then

[fossil ember]

I atleast know what I (roughly) want

[spiral yew]

Just tell your parents if you buy me this pc i won't annoy you anymore

[simple citrus]

it's just like lego, throw it all together and if you forgot a cable it'll just yell at you

[agile ermine]

Well, it might not yell at you, that's the problem

[simple citrus]

I've only managed to break 1 part and it's because I tried to disassemble it lol

silly SSD had a cooling block mounted on it, but that didn't quite fit in my new motherboard

I can now tell you, those cooling blocks are stuck on there for real

[agile ermine]

Never broke anything... Only issue I've ever had was a new pc not starting because the power button was wired the wrong way... But it was a crap case, now that stuff is idiot-proofed

[simple citrus]

almost idiot proofed, those little case connectors on motherboards are still bad

with the lil individual wires

[agile ermine]

Same, the aftermarket cooler I use doesn't fit, it's just stuck in the motherboard in place of the old heatsink, the ssd isn't even screwed in

[simple citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/engineer-fixed-tape-gif-14723651

[agile ermine]

I knew I should've bought a motherboard with active ssd cooling

[simple citrus]

I'm never buying an ssd with a cooling block on it again

[simple citrus]

half the fans are static red and the rest is on rainbow?

[polar lance]

😭

[mighty idol]

the pc is literally a seizure

[mighty idol]

I just realized I've been using half of my ram since I upgraded to 16GB

oh god tonight gotta full of troubleshooting

[simple citrus]

hah

my pc has been doing the weirdest thing

at some points it will start using more and more ram to the point I got none left

and there's not a single app that's using it all

[spiral yew]

Run a virus scan cause it sounds like someone installed a backdoor trojan on your pc to use your ram for bitcoin mining or something also you could unhook the internet cable and see if the ram usage keeps going up

[spiral yew]

687Mhz ram man that's some slow ram is that DDR4?

[mighty idol]

that's ddr3 but don't worry task manager just reporting some false info

it's running on 800mhz

[spiral yew]

Are you running a XMP profile?

[mighty idol]

it's that ancient that xmp doesn't even exist

so I just manually oc it

[simple citrus]

How on earth is that a thing

They use ram for mining now

[spiral yew]

Wouldn't surprise me

[cold frigate]

No. I don't think RAM chips can do that sort of processing.

But if it's mining, CPU mining is coming back last I checked. Prices gonna skyrocket if it continues.

[spiral yew]

I've heard of people doing SSD and HDD mining

[cold frigate]

That's interesting. I'll do a Google.

[glass berry]

who can help me with wheel g923? I can't set the gears because my cursor moves down and I can't do anything, can anyone help me how to do this?

[agile ermine]

Got that issue once, iirc I had to start the pc with 1 stick of ram and then restart it with both sticks

[mighty idol]

yeah I've heard of that but I've already backed up and downloaded new version of bios

I'll try that first beforehand just to make sure I don't need to update the bios

[agile ermine]

Yeah, a bios update is a last resort solution

[mighty idol]

thanks @agile ermine just fixed it

[polar lance]

Slow ram speed damn

[cold frigate]

M9, it's time for an upgrade.

[mighty idol]

give me the money then we'll talk

[cold frigate]

Job?

[pliant comet]

1. Unplug the wheel
2. Start the game with wheel unplugged
3. Select profile, then head to "Options", then head to Controllers tab
4. Reset the cursor's alternative controller
5. Reconnect the G923, then press "Ignore"

[glass berry]

Thanks Titanic

[agile ermine]

yeah, thats Windows for you

[simple pelican]

im having problem with my pedals its always inverted the accel is a reverse and the brake is also reverse for some reason is there any idea about how to fix it and i tried to bind them i cant

[flint egret]

Paddles or pedals?

[simple pelican]

my bad its pedals

[flint egret]

Invert them in the settings

[simple pelican]

i tried that it doesnt work

[weak flare]

Hello, is there anyone who understands monitors?

@ornate salmon my friend, let's talk here

[ornate salmon]

sure

[ornate salmon]

you need a monitor?

[weak flare]

yes

[ornate salmon]

what are the specs?

[weak flare]

It must have 2k image resolution, minimum 165 Hz and 1 ms.

[ornate salmon]

any budget?

[weak flare]

Yes, since I live in Turkey, 8000 TL in Turkish currency should be 245 dollars in dollars.

There are 2 models I am considering, but I am afraid of ghosting.

[ornate salmon]

witch two?

[weak flare]

why?

I don't understand

[ornate salmon]

nvm

[weak flare]

Is there any chance you can write clearly?

[ornate salmon]

sure thing

i found a well rated one: Samsung LS27CG510EUXUF 27 inch Odyssey G5 QHD 1ms 165hz FreeSync Flat Screen Gaming Monitor

[ornate salmon]

it meets the specs you specified

[weak flare]

hm its good

[ornate salmon]

its on amazon tr for 6.909 TL

[weak flare]

But on Samsung, they say ghosting is chronic, so there should be no ghosting.

[ornate salmon]

you should probably watch some reviews on youtube before buying

[weak flare]

GameBooster 27" GB-2719FQHD Aoc 23.8" Q24G2A These are the products I am considering

[weak flare]

that's for sure

[ornate salmon]

this monitor is adequate to the specs but i have never herd of this company before so i cant really provide feedback on this device.

[weak flare]

So which one do you recommend?

The graphics card I will buy is Asus RX 7800 xt, I am looking forward to playing RDR at 2k settings :)

[ornate salmon]

personally i would choose the Samsung monitor manly because its a well regarded company but also i dont really mind ghosting that much but its your choice

[weak flare]

As long as it's not excessive ghosting, it's fine, I have it on my current monitor

[ornate salmon]

i agree it can be annoying after a set ammount of time

[weak flare]

I have it on my current monitor, but it is not darkened, if it is that degree, it will not be a problem, I will look at the monitor you said, thank you

[ornate salmon]

your most welcome

[ornate salmon]

i trust you can make the right decision

[weak flare]

Thank you for your help and attention

[simple citrus]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-g5-g51c-s27cg51

that's this one right?

[simple citrus]

yea I wouldn't buy the gamebooster one

contrast of 1000:1

[weak flare]

Aoc?

Aoc or Samsung?

[simple citrus]

look for AOC Q27G3XMN

great contrast, good local dimming

[simple citrus]

still doing it, no virusses. still does it when the internet is off

every driver on my system is up to date

[agile ermine]

the cpu usage is extremely high if you're not doing anything in the background

[agile ermine]

check in the resources manager instead of the task manager, you might see what eats up all your ram and cpu

and run a windows defender scan and a malwarebytes scan

[simple citrus]

I was playing sea of thieves, but the game wasnt taking all that ram. only suffering from it

[simple citrus]

I've done a full system scan, took some time. nothing came up

[agile ermine]

what did you used ?

[simple citrus]

windows defender

[agile ermine]

check with malwarebytes as well

if you close the game, how's the ram usage ?

[simple citrus]

stays up, drops a few GB, the amount the game was using

[agile ermine]

does anything comes up in the resources manager?

[simple citrus]

nothing unusual

I've changed the paged ram amount, see if that had anything to do with it. no difference

[deep hound]

Is it showing witch application that is taking up all of the RAM In the task manager

[simple citrus]

no that's the annoying part, no running or background app is using all that

its just nowhere

[agile ermine]

thats odd, it should appear in the resources manager, can you send a screenshot ?

just to make sure you're looking at the right thing

[deep hound]

Was thinking the same

[simple citrus]

I've restarted my pc since then, it hasnt gone up yet

[simple citrus]

I'm gonna update my motherboard, might help might not xd

[latent aurora]

I'd re install Windows if you did not do that yet (saves a lot of money if you start to change out parts as per se now)

[deep hound]

I think that they are talking about updating bios, if there is a newer version

[latent aurora]

yeah, true. but still 😛

I'd reinstall shitdows before buying new pc parts

[deep hound]

Yeah, always update and then reinstall, if it doesn't work then it's time to start looking at the hardware

[latent aurora]

[agile ermine]

probably won't

avoid updating your bios unless you have no other choice

and your issue is not hardware-related

[simple citrus]

I reinstalled windows last week, didn't help either

And for some reason the newest bios version won't even boot into windows

Stupid

Like it starts up into automatic repair and can't even exit into windows

How on earth

I even went down a previous version now

[agile ermine]

^

[simple citrus]

It shouldn't break my pc

[agile ermine]

why the hell do you think im saying that ?

it can litteraly transform your mobo into a rock if it fails

and your issue isn't even related

[simple citrus]

The update didn't fail, the uefi bios says what version it's on

It's just windows being dumb

I've tried too many things to search for what's using my ram, nothing helped so far. And the last thing I tried was way too complicated just to show no result

[agile ermine]

have you tried what I told you ?

[simple citrus]

The malwarebytes?

[agile ermine]

yeah

if nothing came out of that, then I'd guess some program has a memory leak

[simple citrus]

Gonna have to fix windows first anyway, dumb system won't launch anymore on any bios version

[simple citrus]

How do I find that, that's what I've been trying

[agile ermine]

resources manager

[simple citrus]

Yea but no program is shown using all that ram

[agile ermine]

not the task manager, specifically the resources manager

looks like that

[simple citrus]

Yea I know

[agile ermine]

every single process in use should be listed

[simple citrus]

Man I'm pissed off at windows

I can't get my pc out of this loop, not even a windows bootable drive wants to work

Fixed it

God damn windows had two bootable location on my pc

I moved windows from one drive to another like months ago, and apparently it leaves two partitions behind on the drive (that I completely formatted)

I love software

[deep hound]

Did it fix the RAM issue as well?

[simple citrus]

can't tell yet, I don't know what triggers the ram issue so I'll have to wait and see if it goes back up to 32GB again

[deep hound]

Let's hope it's fixed

[simple citrus]

this is honestly the fist mayor issue I've had with my pc that I can't fix

[barren olive]

[simple citrus]

so I've currently got youtube open playing a video and discord

huesync running on the background to sync two lights to my monitor

wallpaper engine somewhere in the list

all those that are above 100mb added up are about 6GB of ram

and windows 11 uses about 4GB

so that's 10GB, but somehow I'm using 21GB

[agile ermine]

Hang on, why do you have 9GB of cached memory ?

Oh, btw, you might want to find a way to see the virtual memory, apparently that's not taken into account in the task manager

If you can identify something eating up a large amount of virtual memory, that might solve your issue

[spiral yew]

I'm on win 10 pro and have 32gb and only using 30% of ram

[simple citrus]

this is just from system information

lots of numbers

[sand valley]

Move...? You need to reinstall it on that drive. The partitions are insanely important

[simple citrus]

I did a reinstall

[sand valley]

Full?

From usb

[simple citrus]

yea

[sand valley]

And your missing partitons

[simple citrus]

they're all there as far as I can tell

[sand valley]

Odd

Windows is weird for me too

[simple citrus]

it's a mess

I just don't wanna completely wipe my C drive now and start from scratch

it's just always the page table that grows too big, and it's impossible to find the driver that might cause it. there's too many to reinstall by hand and wait to see if it's fixed

[sand valley]

Backup information and do it if you need

Ive reinstalled linux and windows countless times within a yeae

Just backup passwords

And files you deem important

[grave rivet]

anyone heard from southern trucker gaming lately?

[sterile laurel]

@sand valley this enough FPS for you?

Failed to extract installer

oh

i dont have gigabates

[polar lance]

clear some storage, id stay on win 10 if it was me tho

[polar lance]

Same as what ive got

Yeh windows 10 works much better than windows 11. 11 has broken my new 8k setup

[polar lance]

Cancer to look at

[tribal violet]

Aside from the 24pin and However many that card has, If it was the same colour as the rest, it'd be pretty nice

[brisk meteor]

adjustable

[tribal violet]

[hardy timber]

probs 1000fps in the menu 😭

[celest yew]

Maybe , but tbh almost everyone gets 1k fps in menu

[hardy timber]

that’s my point

bottom server is a DL380 G7 and is what I'd be using right now if it weren't HP. temp sensor issues and outdated hardware; I want to get rid of it at some point
middle is the R730 running the show. we love you Dell

• 2x E5-2640 v3, 16GB@1866 - this is incredibly overkill currently but i do wish i had 2400 sticks instead
• 2x SAS(6Gb) 300GB HDDs (RAID0 - dw i have backups; planning on replacing these anyways)
• 1 Gbit link to some TL-SG108E switch, going to:
  Archer C6 in the other image, currently WDS bridged to some other router behind a very thick wall giving an incredibly unreliable connection, 8 MB/s at most. within my own network. i really want to just run a cable at some point but i'm also too lazy to make it look good, so
  there's also an Acer at the top of the first image, used this a few weeks ago to test a setup for the R730. was transferring everything when i took the pictures, now it's just sitting there doing nothing

man those images are incredibly noisy. not surprised though, budget phone sensor

every day I'm greeted with R# telling me my computer's slow without it telling me my computer's slow

[severe sage]

That wifi router is holding on for dear life

[sand valley]

oh yeah definitely

it's balanced on some styrofoam whatever that came with my R730 which is also balancing on two boxes of.. something? i have no idea what's in that garage

i won't be surprised if that thing falls one day though

I did try to use some double sided tape to affix it to a wall at one point but I left for a few minutes, came back and uh

I'll find the image

[severe sage]

Your wifi reception probably wouldn't get worse if it did, or at least not noticeable hehe

[sand valley]

oh yeah it wouldn't make any difference but it would've looked cooler

can't find the image but i came back to it hanging on by the cable which was dangling off of some helmet hanging on the wall

[bold mica]

I used to have a Samsung tv that’s almost as old as me that I gave to my sister and still is fine today

I used to have a Hisense tv that after a year it wouldn’t respond to anything so I unplugged it, plugged it back in and wouldn’t turn on ever again

[latent aurora]

That sucks... well, I plan to have that TV as long as possible. But at latest when I start working on my plan, then I can't take it with me anymore

[lavish dome]

what s this #tech for ?

[kind viper]

Anything tech related

[lavish dome]

blender too ?

[kind viper]

Why not

[lavish dome]

do you have knowledge in blender ? because if so u can help me with it

[kind viper]

No

I just roam channels

[lavish dome]

Does anyone from here has knowledge of blender ?

[grizzled crow]

first pic smh

get a cab

[sand valley]

too expensive

also no point for me for now

[grizzled crow]

you can build one out of 4x4s 😛

[sand valley]

ooor

i could not

lol

[grizzled crow]

[sand valley]

if i ever get more stuff i probably will

R730 fans get annoyed if there's stuff on top of them, they make this awful screeching noise

also it's just resting on top of some table that i do not trust at all and it'd be nice to have something that doesn't collapse

[grizzled crow]

https://i.imgur.com/xtdhZ1a.png

it has been tidied up since

[sand valley]

I could never

cable management is impossible for me, you should see this room

latest one

[sand valley]

incredibly clean

but what do you have on them

[grizzled crow]

its the ones at work

[sand valley]

aw

[grizzled crow]

we have 2 batteries, 3 NVRs and 2 servers

but we have 2 servers instead of 4

[grizzled crow]

ye cos you dont have a cab smh

[sand valley]

meh

i wouldn't have any room for it anyways

the fact that i've managed to hide anything is a miracle

[grizzled crow]

i have a mini one in the garage

old pic tho

[sand valley]

and very cropped pic too

oh hey you have labels on the plugs

i wish but i don't have a thing that makes those

[grizzled crow]

whenever i next go in the garage, i'll get a new pic

@sand valley that's the main networking one

[sand valley]

ooooh

clean as hell

very nice

[grizzled crow]

we had an upgrade and they tided all the cabinets up ages ago

[kind viper]

What port is this

[latent aurora]

Micro USB

[kind viper]

Fun

[eternal cliff]

usb c but older

[kind viper]

My old phone had it

[spiral yew]

It'd be a shame if someone pulled out a cable

[grizzled crow]

[copper scaffold]

I decided to clean

[orchid cliff]

trolled my friend, stole one of his ram sticks. His Fps in games dropped by like 20-35 percent. Lol

any ideas on what to do with it now? The ram stick

[simple bobcat]

Give it back

[simple bobcat]

Next step: Replace the 2 laptops with 2 monitors

[copper scaffold]

yeaaaaaa once i can

[simple bobcat]

Or just 1 monitor

2 monitors are pretty much the sweetspot imo

[safe fractal]

Guys, I just got the thrustmaster simtask joystick. I wonder if I can get a desktop mount for it because it’s pretty high up rn

[copper scaffold]

I would like 2 monitors but then 2 systems, so 3 monitors

[latent aurora]

I have 3 screens and one system.... so whatever you are on about, its probably not true 😄

[dense crystal]

Thoughts on this?

[spiral yew]

i would have the 2 monitors next to each other but have it look like they are curved

[stone oyster]

use the dual monitor arm

put the case on the table in the right side and the second monitor in the left side using the arm

[dense crystal]

I dont trust putting it on the desk like that tbh, on my old setup, i did that but the pc had almost fell off the desk

[polar lance]

Need a monitor arm

[safe bronze]

My setup. Opinions?

[orchid cliff]

Well you see that’s boring and rather simple. Any more creative ideas??

[open hinge]

I want to buy a logitech g923, which gear lever is suitable for it?

[pliant comet]

You can get Driving Force Shifter for it. This one plugs into wheel. If you already have either G25, or G27, you can use its shifter too. In former case, you can use sequential mode. In both cases, the shifter's console is unavailable.

[rough orchid]

That's class

My setup is a bit mediocre

It's transportable though

I use a good portion of my room for it

The laptop has Ryzen 3 and I'm hopefully going to upgrade to a Ryzen 7 one

[mighty idol]

could you see things that far away

I'm kinda near sighted so idk if that works for me

[rough orchid]

That's a 45 inch TV so yes

Looks small in the photo bc I zoomed out

[mighty idol]

oh fair

yeah it's indeed looks small kekw

[rough orchid]

I would move slightly closer but my gaming chair doesn't have wheel locks so I put it up against a chest

[dawn peak]

laptop cooling system must be crying

[rough orchid]

I have it on a surface

Not on the bed

So it's actually fine lol

[dawn peak]

ah fair

[rough orchid]

Dw, when I get my own house I'd definitely get a pc set up

This does well enough for the space I have

[mighty idol]

you got a wheel stand or smth?

[rough orchid]

Yeah

[mighty idol]

just wondering how sturdy it is lol with all the ffb

[rough orchid]

Oh it's great

Mine folds up too

But it was like 120 quid so it's sturdy though

That's just the stand

You can move the top half side to side if you really try

[mighty idol]

made out of metal I suppose?

[rough orchid]

But not up and down

[rough orchid]

Yup

And no the ffb doesn't move it like that

[mighty idol]

that's kinda wobbly tho

[rough orchid]

But yeah look at the distance

I have it quite far

Anyway I'll be getting back to hauling

Forgot to add that I use a mouse. Track pad is 😳

[bronze terrace]

Guys whats computers/laptopa you have

BC im kinda lookin for a new one

And idk what to buy

[latent aurora]

dis mine

[bronze terrace]

Whats your average fps in ets2mp

[latent aurora]

since i dont play tmp but in SP I get between 150 - 250 fps - depending on the region I'm in

[bronze terrace]

What graphics in game you have

[latent aurora]

the best 😄

[bronze terrace]

nice

my pc is kinda bad tbh

on high graphics I have 40-50 fps MP

60 max I have 60Hz screen

[spiral yew]

I9-10900k
RX 6900XT
32GB ram
2 SSD'S

[frozen mantle]

I got one like that and I ram it up against something and it’s fine 😂

I take it you got the GT omega one

[rough orchid]

Yup

[opaque osprey]

Anyone get the paddles on a TMX working for Drive and Reverse on ATS real auto trans?

[bold mica]

My laptop just crashed again but this time the bsod finally popped up showing "VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE", any idea what this is?

windows 11, this is the 3rd or 4th time it happened since i installed win 11 but the last times it happened i didnt get the bsod

[hushed kestrel]

W xbox 360 enjoyer

[rough orchid]

Ofc man, rrod repaired one too

No HDMI

Component/AV

And no wireless Internet either, need to use ethernet

[sand valley]

Google is your friend

[radiant fox]

This is the link I wanted to give to him but you got ahead of me

[teal lodge]

Anyone know what cpu I should get for a 1080ti? I have a AM4 Mobo

[polar lance]

Probs a ryzen 5 5600x

[hushed kestrel]

how was it repaired

by Microsoft?

if someone reballed/bolt modded it then it likely won't last long

[rough orchid]

Yes

[hushed kestrel]

when? if it was repaired past mid 2008 it should be reliable

[rough orchid]

2006

When it was brand new

Been well took care of

[hushed kestrel]

ooooh, it might die again though

[rough orchid]

Could but I did a deep clean recently

[hushed kestrel]

it's a defect not in the amount of heat but it's the amount of heat cycles

the heat cycles stress the underfill of the gpu and end up cracking the bumps

[rough orchid]

Then it can get fixed again lol

I wouldn't worry we have like 3 360s

The pro, and 2 e's

[hushed kestrel]

theyre shutting down the store in a couple weeks fyi

a bunch of games have been marked down and some are under a dollar

[rough orchid]

I've known for a long time

[rough orchid]

I already have hundreds lol

[hushed kestrel]

oh damn nice

youre og?

[rough orchid]

Sadly not og xbox

360 days

But I'm a big Microsoft gamer

Mostly xbox but recently I've got more and more into pc/laptop

[hushed kestrel]

ah

[teal lodge]

Good thing it’s on sale atm

[bold mica]

Well I’m assuming my gpu is dead cos I tried everything I could to fix it and nothing worked and all forums with same problem for the same gpu lead to their gpu ended up dead

[strange sluice]

Have you tried to reseat it

[strange sluice]

or move it into a diffrent pcie slot?

[hard wolf]

Hey someone know how to fix c0000005 error?

[bold mica]

Slight issue, it’s a laptop so it’s soldered onto the motherboard

Plus I’m not too worried about it as the laptop is reaching 8 yrs old and I’m saving up to get a new pc, prolly gonna go for a desktop as the laptop is still usable for laptop activities, just not gaming and I rarely do any laptop activities

Probably gonna build my own pc so def gonna do research for that

[mighty idol]

[bold mica]

It was bound to happen cos I been pushing the pc to its limits

[bold mica]

Until I can afford a new pc I might get an $80 monitor from Walmart and hook everything up to my Xbox and use it as a makeshift pc

Only issue is no tmp with that method

[severe sage]

That shouldn't damage your laptop hehe, it's probably just some solder breaking due to its age.

[sand valley]

half of the time I end up just using mine to remote to my desktop

[bold mica]

I figured, especially since my laptop doesn’t have good cooling as it wasn’t designed for gaming

[bold mica]

Just realized after I bought the monitor I could just NVidia GeForce now on my laptop instead of my Xbox, which means I ended up not needing the monitor at all

But since I already bought it and it was so cheap I might as well take advantage of it

At least I have one for when I get a desktop

[rough orchid]

Forgot to add (late reply I know) but I'm not too worried about that since I do a bit of electrical engineering in my spare time

I've fixed a couple phones and did an og DS teardown to replace the digitiser (the ds bit is a lot easier tbh)

I do love my DS. Sometimes better than the 2DS or Switch

[distant osprey]

hi

[simple citrus]

man's ambitious

[hushed kestrel]

yeah but if it dies then you gotta get a bga rework station

and either reflow (temporary fix) or swap to one of the fixed gpus

[rough orchid]

Could do that lol

[sand valley]

what's a good graphics card these days?

[modest shard]

What performance are you looking for? High-End? Mid-End? AMD? NVIDIA? There’s a lot of options to choose from so I gotta nail it down to a few.

Important to know is if you want an NVIDIA Card with DLSS and Raytracing

Or if you want an AMD Card with way worse performance on raytracing but FSR and want FPS, not pretty looking games for your money.

Both options are good but it depends on preference which one you want to go for.

[sand valley]

Ah thank you

[simple citrus]

way worse performance
as if a 4070 can run raytracing on high settings

[simple citrus]

https://versus.com/en/amd-radeon-rx-7800-xt-vs-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070

[agile ermine]

Well there's still an important performance gap between the two in ray tracing

[simple citrus]

that's the only reason you'd wanna buy nvidia these days.
ray tracing in combination with DLSS, cuz without DLSS your game is gonna run like shit

and even then I'd go for AMD, they're plenty capable at ray tracing for half the price depending on the card

https://versus.com/en/asus-rog-strix-geforce-rtx-4080-gaming-oc-16gb-vs-xfx-speedster-merc-310-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-black?sort=versusScore

[modest shard]

Depends on which game you’re playing. I have a 4060TI and I can run ultra raytracing on any title I own (2560x1440p).

So I wouldn’t say that what I said was wrong. But any information is helpful, so I like that you put YouTube links for the people that need them.

Also, for people looking forward to buying a 40 Series NVIDIA Card, waiting just a little more for the 50 Series Cards may be the better option because of price drop and performance of newer cards.

[simple citrus]

resolution is a big factor too, like 1080p or 4K would be a big leap

[agile ermine]

Stable drivers

AMD drivers are still a mess, and thats kinda sad

[simple citrus]

do you have an amd gpu?

[agile ermine]

Yes

[simple citrus]

I've got no big issues with the drivers

[agile ermine]

Got quite a lot of these

[simple citrus]

[agile ermine]

Sometimes an update fixes a game but another becomes unplayable, sometimes a game works just fine and the next version it doesn't work anymore... Right now it seems like end of last year drivers are working fine, but still, thats kinda annoying, even though the gpu itself is performing great

[simple citrus]

I honestly struggled just as much with nvidia back when I had a 2070 super. I would update the driver and games would run worse

confusing stuff

also games would run real bad if I let geforce experience set the settings lol

[agile ermine]

Seems to be kinda hit or miss... Never had a single driver issue with all the Nvidia gpus I owned (and still own), for the past 10-ish years

Geforce experience is crap, but thats it

[simple citrus]

I do agree nvidia drivers will not crash as fast as amd drivers. if I'm pushing amd real hard with too much at once the driver will shit itself after a while

mostly happens in newer games, triple A titles

https://tenor.com/view/pc-pc-explosion-pc-burn-pc-fire-computer-gif-2323271670262777828

[agile ermine]

Im not even pushing my gpu that hard, so idk... Maybe its just my bad luck, I'll see how it goes with old drivers, im not playing any super recent game anyways rn

[north radish]

I bought a 4070 and a i9 processor but idk wich motherboard i need to buy

[sand valley]

I usually recommend AMD GPUs just because they're so much cheaper on the used market here compared to NVIDIA equivalents

[modest shard]

Any current i9 uses the LGA1700 Socket. There’s many Mainboards out there for LGA1700. Depending on which i9 you bought, you’d have to look up (in the mainboard description for example) which CPU is Supported. Usually the newer i9’s have 2 8-Pin cables going from PSU to Mainboard so you’d have to check if your PSU (Power Supply) has at least 2 8-Pin connectors for CPU’s.

Personally I’d recommend ROG Mainboards. I have one myself. They usually come with metal cooling blocks for anything on the mainboard (cpu not included). Choosing a full ATX Mainboard usually has the advantage of having more space for other stuff.

[north radish]

Okay bec i need help with finding good selection of things to buy for my new pc but i dont know what like exact thing i need to get

[modest shard]

What price range are you aiming for? I could go ahead and look some up if you want :3

[north radish]

I dont know yet i wanna know wich power supply i need to buy for 4070 and wich one does support the cables yk

Like maybe 500-700 (EX the 4070 and ram and i9 13700)

[modest shard]

I’ll be looking thru internet real quick to see if I find anything that fits the i9 13700 and 4070

[north radish]

Yes alr thank you 🙏

[severe sage]

It's weird because as a long running AMD user I've never had any stability issues, it's certainly not as much of an issue as it was 5/10 years ago but even now it's still more than nvidia.

[agile ermine]

even with the latest drivers ?

[severe sage]

Yep, always try to keep updated, never once had any difficulties.

[modest shard]

Aight!

I found something that might be quite good for your Components.
You said you maybe wanted a 1100W PSU and thats good for future proofing but I wouldn't pick one with that high Wattage (Still here an example of a good 1200W PSU ).

In terms of Mainboard side, I chose and ROG Strix B760-F because it has all you need, looks good, has RGB, is equipped with the newest technology and is at low cost.

Because the RTX 4070 only pulls a max of up to 200W and the i9 13700 up to 360W, another option for PSU would be the ASUS TUF Gaming 850W Gold. It's good quality, 850W (which would still future proof the build), reliable and quite silent for being an 850W PSU.

All these are in black and chosen to be compatible with the RTX 4070 and the i9 13700. All these components are in black so lmme know if you want to rock a white build and I can search other components.

[north radish]

Does that motherboard support ddr 4

@modest shard what case would you recommend

[agile ermine]

there is so much wrong stuff going on there... what the heck is even a core i9 13700 ? that doesn't exist

[north radish]

13900

[agile ermine]

K or not ?

[north radish]

Yea

[agile ermine]

in both cases there's absolutely no point in pairing a core i9 with a 4070 unless you run very CPU-intensive softwares (games aren't)

just get a core i5 14600K at this point, or get a Ryzen 7800X3D if you only need a pc for gaming purposes

and get a better GPU with the price difference

[north radish]

Okay okay so i get a 4070 what type of cpu i should get

I7 13700k

[clever spire]

7800x3d on top

[agile ermine]

... I just told you the 2 options you have imo above

[severe sage]

But it's 14th gen

[agile ermine]

yeah, ik, it's 13th gen but with a 4 instead of a 3

no you absolutely can't

there's no such thing as a motherboard that supports both

[clever spire]

Bro is using ChatGPT for his advice

[severe sage]

And voila, a new product with new higher prices

[modest shard]

oh yeah right. i just had a brainout for a moment

[severe sage]

CPU wise yes, it can support ddr4 or ddr5 but not the motherboard hehe

[north radish]

Okay so i5 14600k with ddr 4 and 4070

Sorry guys i am just a noob😭😭

[agile ermine]

first of all, do you even have a budget in mind ? because you could probably get a much better (or worse...) machine than what you're expecting to build

[clever spire]

Go 7800x3d instead. You’ll have an upgrade path and better performance for near enough the same price

[modest shard]

no it does not. But ddr5 is usually way faster as ddr4 and is cheaper in most cases.

[agile ermine]

also, yeah, again, for gaming only, the ryzen 7800X3D is the king

[agile ermine]

... DDR5 is NOT cheaper

[north radish]

1500 euros

[agile ermine]

oh, yeah, so no core i9 for you

[north radish]

Because the first thing was thst i wanted to upgrade my pc but i saw 4070 use 12 pin and my i9 didnt fit in the thing

[agile ermine]

what's your current CPU ?

[north radish]

The cpu i have in my 10700k i7

[agile ermine]

that's still perfectly fine

if you're worried about the power supply, there should be a 12-pin to 2x8-pin in the box of any graphics card that has a 12-pin power connector

what's your power supply ? It should be enough anyways since the 4070 isn't very power hungry, but still, just in case

also, check the maximum graphics card length supported by your pc case, it wouldn't be funny to buy a graphics card that can't fit

[north radish]

Base 650 watt

[north radish]

It fitt tho but the connector is the thing

[agile ermine]

doesn't matter, there should be an adapter in the box

[modest shard]

In germany 🇩🇪 it is. Idk abt other countries but it should be similar

[agile ermine]

you have no idea what you're talking about... even in germany, DDR5 sticks are way more expensive

don't tell me I'm wrong, I have all the prices right in front of me

[north radish]

Nope mine is prebuild🥰

[agile ermine]

that's not a lot, but it should be enough for a RTX 4070 or a 4070 Super. You should start to think about upgrading your power supply if you pick a more powerful GPU, though

all in all, you don't have (yet) to upgrade anything else than your graphics card

[agile ermine]

I was talking about the graphics card's box... the one you haven't bought yet

[severe sage]

Ideally ddr5 but that would still be a good combo

[modest shard]

There's no need to start beef now. Everybody knows best of their countries and nobody from a different one can correct you to know better. I have the prices also right in front of me. I'm not sure which sticks you compared. But I am comparing 4800mhz DDR4 vs. 6000mhz DDR5 Sticks, with DDR4 having the high-end specs for DDR4 and DDR5 low-end for DDR5 specs.
Please don't insult people. We all want a normal and friendly conversation.

[north radish]

I just found the pin graphics card box xD

Sorry for that

[agile ermine]

pcpartpicker is a thing. I can set my location to germany and have all the prices from the main sellers. And I can tell you that what you're saying doesn't match at all what I'm seeing, no matter the specs of the RAM sticks

[severe sage]

To be honest intel based systems don't usually need the highest speed ddr4, only ryzen systems really benefit from faster memory. Obviously in an ideal world it would be the fastest it could be but it's not necessary to spend more than you need to.

[agile ermine]

cheapest kit of 2x16GB DDR4 I can find is 3600MT/s CL18 in germany. That one costs 52,90€. The cheapest 2x16GB DDR5 I can find is 4800MT/s CL40, and it costs over 87€.

[north radish]

Okay so i found the box with the pins and the graphics card is working now

[agile ermine]

wait, im not sure to understand... You had already bought the graphics card ?

[north radish]

Yea the thing is i bought the i9 and the graphics card alr yea

[agile ermine]

oh no

uh

[modest shard]

Even if I was wrong, doesn't it matter anyway?
Our fellow xavier probably doesn't live in germany which means the prices in different countries don't matter right?

[agile ermine]

in that case, do you have the possibility to get a refund for the core i9 ?

[agile ermine]

it does matter, because if DDR5 is twice as expensive than DDR4 in Germany, there's no way DDR5 is cheaper anywhere else in the world

[severe sage]

Not much we can do now, it will just be an unbalanced system

[north radish]

Yes

[modest shard]

Twice as expensive? which modules are you comparing for god's sake.

[agile ermine]

I said it above

im comparing 2x16GB kits, 3600MT/s CL18 vs 4800MT/s CL40

[north radish]

After i connected it my processor is using 100%💀💀

[severe sage]

Good DDR5 sticks are about double the price of good DDR4 sticks pretty much everywhere in the world. Misterclic is right.

[agile ermine]

53€ vs 88€

[north radish]

Something not good

[agile ermine]

and that's low-end DDR5

[north radish]

Base speed 2,90hz.. currentspeed 3,60

[agile ermine]

you should probably do that, then, because with that CPU you not only need a new motherboard, but also a new power supply and most likely a new CPU cooler

[severe sage]

If you stick with an i9 it will probably need a watercooler, not sure there are many air coolers that will manage the turbo.

[agile ermine]

save your money for the next upgrade when you'll really need it, and upgrade with something that makes more sense

no air cooler can keep a core i9 13900K under control, thats as simple as that

actually, most AiO watercooling systems will struggle as well

[severe sage]

Probably looking at another £200 on top of the cpu at least

[agile ermine]

that would be for the motherboard alone

[severe sage]

Yeah cooler only, I mean.

[agile ermine]

sounds a bit much, I believe there are some 360mm AiOs for around 150€

[modest shard]

That is true. The price of the DDR4 sticks is dropping down with every month.
But all I'm saying is that DDR5 is better for the money you spend on it. You don't have to go all on cheap RAM. Sometimes it's good to spend aprox. 100€ on a RAM-KIT. Especially with gaming, you would want a high-speed RAM of at least 6000mhz with when buying DDR5.

[clever spire]

Even less, if you don't care for RGB or flashy screens on the pump. My 420mm was £110ish

[agile ermine]

the difference in CPU performances between a good DDR4 kit and a good DDR5 kit is still minimal... it's just more futureproof since you'll be able to reuse it later

[north radish]

But my cpu is overheating now so i need better cooling or cant my cpu handle it

[agile ermine]

wdym its overheating ?

what temperature is it sitting at ?

[north radish]

Its slower than normal like the normal speed its giving is like 2.90% but i am not 3.60% alr

[agile ermine]

thats perfectly normal

it runs slower if you don't need it to go at full speed

[north radish]

Its on 100%

[agile ermine]

... why is it even at 100% in the first place ? also, what's the cooler on your CPU ?

[north radish]

DeepCool Theta 15 PWM Compact CPU Air Cooler, 1x 100mm Hydro Bearing PWM High Performance Fan, Intel: LGA1200/1151/1150/1155, 65W TDP

[clever spire]

oof

[agile ermine]

oh

thats a hell of a dogshit cooler for such a CPU

[clever spire]

sounds about right for a prebuilt

[agile ermine]

yeah

[north radish]

Its doing its work all the time tho with the 3060 but when i putt the 4060 its exploding yea i need to upgrade real quick

[agile ermine]

the issue doesn't come from your GPU upgrade

your CPU shouldn't be pinned at 100% unless you're running a stress test

[north radish]

I just opened task manager thats it

[agile ermine]

and what process is using up all your CPU, in the task manager ?

[north radish]

Just some software things

[agile ermine]

well yeah, it's not going to be anything else

but what's the one using all that CPU time ?

[north radish]

Just when i try to open ets2 its giving a error now and then its going on 100%

Its no problem now i guess it work

But should i get a new cooler

[agile ermine]

well, if it has worked out up until now, I guess it's kinda fine if you only play games on your pc...

but that's definitely not a cooler I'd put on a core i7

[north radish]

Okay i think everything is fine now i will keep you updated xD

[jaunty sail]

Does anyone have Windows 11 down?

[modest shard]

What’s windows 11 down?

[jaunty sail]

Blue Screen

[modest shard]

Never had a bluescreen on windows 11

[agile ermine]

aand what does the bluescreen says ?

[jaunty sail]

Idk, I'm not in home rn but I saw all the ppl talking about it on social media.

but I want to know if someone already had the blue screen

on windows 11

[dawn peak]

it happens because of the antivirus app

icr its name

[agile ermine]

that's not a thing you'll get unless your system has Crowdstrike's cybersecurity service installed on it

that's not a software random people have on their computers, its usually big companies

[jaunty sail]

Oh, so it's not a default service.

So you mean domestic computers doesn't have that one

[agile ermine]

yeah, that's not a Microsoft issue for once

[bold mica]

Someone on Reddit in my town offered to buy my broken laptop off of me knowing the issue I have (possibly bad solder on gpu causing it to not work) and asked for a price

It’s a dell xps 15 9550 (2016 model) how much is a reasonable price to sell it for

I see online good models range for $800-1,000

[clever spire]

If it’s broken prob like $50. Idk about the US but I just checked here in the UK and they go for $150-200 used and working

[severe sage]

From memory I remember that having an igpu as well as a discreet one, if that's still functioning then it might go for a little more than just parts.

[agile ermine]

Theres no way a 2016 laptop in perfect condition sells for 800$

Thats the price of a decent brand new one

Renegade is probably right

[severe sage]

Did you not know that there's massive demand for a 6th gen i5 and a gtx 960m

[harsh spade]

Which wheel is good for ets2?

[north radish]

Logitch wheel

[agile ermine]

Moza and (especially) Hori both have special wheels for truck simulators, otherwise the Logitech G29/G920 and the Thrustmaster T-GT II are nice because they both have a ton of buttons on it... Though your choice really depends of your budget, the Logitech is fairly cheap (and not that good in terms of build quality and force feedback) and the other options are probably much better but far more expensive

[sand valley]

god i wish i had a moza wheel

i would never be able to afford one though

[north radish]

does anyone reccomend a good cpu ( i have a i7 10700 rn )

[polar lance]

nothing wrong with taht

[north radish]

Bec it has some lagg spikes when i am in busy area of ets2

[latent aurora]

That's because the game engine cant handle that much of load. it is designed for singleplayer, not multiplayer. espicially not for MMOs like TMP and their 10000 players on one spot on CD (where the rest of the map is literally empty)

[simple citrus]

[pure wharf]

Is it worth to buy u guys say its about 100dollars for the english peopel

https://www.komplett.se/product/1249493/gaming/gamingdator/gamingdator-stationar/komplett-pc-advanced-gaming-a126-rgb?channable=0094536964003132343934393366&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwO20BhCJARIsAAnTIVTM8z2LCgneFbfliw7ZVoVn5iW7M7unDYXFgKL8gZL2GH85VmRCCjgaApW6EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[simple citrus]

1100 dollar

[pure wharf]

Oo thats right forgot the last 0

[simple citrus]

[pure wharf]

But is it worth it

[simple citrus]

I would buy the parts separate and build it myself

but the price seems about right for the parts that're inside

[pure wharf]

Nice

[pure wharf]

Problem i cant build and dad is spending to mutch time on work

[hushed kestrel]

not sure about local pricing but thats a bad deal in the usa

if pcs are generally more expensive in (germany(?)) then i guess the price seems about right

in the usa though that's probably like a $900-1000 pc

[simple citrus]

I just checked on pcpartpicker tho, it came up around 1000-1100$

considering the cpu costs 200$

and ignoring the windows 11 cost

[pure wharf]

I live in sweden so its a good deal and I get Windows 11 whit iitso I bet it is good then I need to a Whole setup White screen and all that

[pure wharf]

Okej so u say that the deal is good

[simple citrus]

yea is good, can always upgrade after.

[agile ermine]

you can remove the windows licence to save some money, installing windows is easy and you can find very cheap activation keys on internet

[pure wharf]

Funny part is that the parts cost what the whole pc is priced as and I get Windows whit it

[agile ermine]

it's not cheaper than getting the parts separately

it never is

but it can be cheaper than it is by removing the windows licence

[pure wharf]

Sure but ima do White the Windows either way

[hushed kestrel]

what???

1100???

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DvCHCd

that's pretty much the exact same build

except the cooler is different*

AND upgraded power supply

AND upgraded cpu

[hushed kestrel]

@simple citrus this!!

[simple citrus]

[hushed kestrel]

you could upgrade the ram and the gpu and get a waay better experience with the $200 you saved @pure wharf

and windows for $200 is a scam, i got mine for free through other means but you can also get keys off of old prebuilt pcs and off of grey market sites

[simple citrus]

yea well I picked the same parts to check if they made it more expensive than needed. I would totally pick other parts myself to make it cheaper

[hushed kestrel]

theres no point in matching the EXACT SAME parts if other ones offer similar/better performance for the same price/cheaper

[simple citrus]

he's not gonna build his own pc tho

[hushed kestrel]

the black case for example wasnt on sale at all in the us so i picked a white one but alternative cases like the 4000d arent out of the question

[hushed kestrel]

i'm just showing him how much he can save if he did, and trying to get him to shop around and find a better deal

[simple citrus]

prebuilts suck

[hushed kestrel]

depends

if its dell/hp/alienware=automatic shitbox

if its 3rd party its likely hit or miss

[pure wharf]

Can u go on shark gamer site and pic a pc and take parts for under 1100

[hushed kestrel]

could i have a link?

please

[pure wharf]

I fix

[hushed kestrel]

what?

[pure wharf]

I fix the link to the website

https://sharkgaming.se/

[hushed kestrel]

whats your sek budget

https://sharkgaming.se/max-bite-bloodlust @pure wharf this alone is an upgrade over that newegg listing

faster ram, gpu and cpu

actually gpu not sure

this setup maximises value for money

[pure wharf]

I say like 12-15k

[hushed kestrel]

oh

[hushed kestrel]

that pc is still pretty good, the next pc tier up just switches to intel and the pricing is absurd

you pay more to get a worse cpu though you get a 4070

so if you wanna trade off cpu performance for gpu performance then this is another build

[pure wharf]

Okey i say IF it is under the price i sanden its more to get to upgrading my screen and all that

[hushed kestrel]

so you'd like to be under budget by a little?

[pure wharf]

It would be Great yes but the first u sent looked really good

[hushed kestrel]

this website is so badly designed i'm so overwhelmed with the amount of different pc models they have 😭

[pure wharf]

Ik they didnt have time for the website but for the pc they had

[hushed kestrel]

the shark bloodlust is also an option

[pure wharf]

Yes can we do that we take thise in dm so it easy to find tmw

[hushed kestrel]

it has a little worse gpu than the 4060 but it's an intel arc card and can get very high performance uplifts from driver updates since it's such a new card

[pure wharf]

Send a link to it would be great

[hushed kestrel]

actually the first one i sent is the same price and performs better

just get that one

[pure wharf]

Yes thx for the help

[hushed kestrel]

no problem

[polar lance]

Tech support!

[simple quiver]

which one should i get, a g920 or a g923?

there's only a 40 euros difference

[agile ermine]

they're the same

wait, no they're not, g29 and g923 are the same, mb

[latent aurora]

and I'd take the G923 then, as it has more buttons to press

[agile ermine]

get the g923 if you need the extra buttons, otherwise get the g920 that is (I'd assume) cheaper

[pliant comet]

There's also Trueforce available on G923. ETS2/ATS won't support TrueForce, however certain games do support it. BeamNG.Drive is one of these games.

[simple quiver]

thanks guys

[simple quiver]

i love to press buttons

[latent aurora]

I have the G923 myself and I gotta say - its deffo more silent than their previous models (G29) and stronger in FFB.

[simple quiver]

how much did you paid for it?

[latent aurora]

Euh... give me a moment.... I dunno out of my head

317€ back then.... seeing it now with 281 makes me mad

[simple quiver]

good thing that i can use it for some years and still sell for over 200 in my country

[latent aurora]

Why would you sell it? 😄

[simple quiver]

maybe i can upgrade in the future

[latent aurora]

True as well

my next wheel is being a truck wheel 😂 well, in reality. But my next gaming wheel... I'd say its going to be the HORI Truck Wheel

[mighty idol]

just casually using my pc and suddenly there you go

and no, windows, I will not upgrade to windows 11

[dusk topaz]

Here's my new set up

[tiny flower]

I'm doing investment

[vital thistle]

my racing , truck driving and call of duty setup

[unreal trellis]

Where you live bro?

[vital thistle]

the uk

[unreal trellis]

Because if I put my setup near my window everything will start cooking

[unreal trellis]

Great

[vital thistle]

yeah its never hot enough here lol

[unreal trellis]

Keyboard mouse placement is not good for posture

[vital thistle]

its just for the pic

[unreal trellis]

I saw the news that on 23 C people in UK feeling hot

Here 27 C means it's winter

[vital thistle]

23c isnt hot

[unreal trellis]

Not at all

[mighty idol]

yoo congrats for the new phone

I've been using the same phone for 4 years and I can already feel the slowness and choppiness of it

might need to do investment soon™

[tiny flower]

I am currently having a Xiaomi 13, then non-T model.
Houses a Snapdragon 888 Gen 2 but their HyperOS is awful.
Only good thing is the battery life.
Other than that, micro lags when swiping on the home screen and when scrolling

therefore, after my second Xiaomi "flagship", I decided to give OnePlus a try, heard almost good stuff only about it

Good thing is, today I get to sell my 13 for 500€
Gotta use my old 11T Pro until my new baby arrives

[simple citrus]

Took these photos with the OnePlus 12

Pro mode can do a lot but their regular camera mode has improved a ton

Not sure if AI is involved but it does some great colour correcting and HDR

[hasty marlin]

23c here in the north people are all melting as they used to single figures 80% of the year

[tiny flower]

wow, thanks for sharing!

Not sure if I am that into photography but a snapshot or two will defo be in

I suppose you do not have any heating issues while using the device normally?
Like YouTube, discord and such?

Discord heats my phone up abnormally

[simple citrus]

not really, fast charging it about the only thing that stands out

but it's not like you can't hold it.

[tiny flower]

oh alright, thank you

do you also play games on your phone?

don't do that much but three or four times a month

[simple citrus]

got some of those afk games I play, but any heavy games shouldn't be a problem

[sterile laurel]

@tribal violet rate this 1050Ti xD

[flint egret]

Yikes

[sterile laurel]

Such a good deal xD

[spiral yew]

i bet they are gonna sell that card for 75 british pounds 😂

these comments though 😂

[sterile laurel]

They sell it for £50 now xD

[polar lance]

less sometimes

[sterile laurel]

No.. They sell it for £50

[polar lance]

should of just used ebay

[sterile laurel]

Nah im good

I want that 2 year warranty

And the products to actually work

[polar lance]

they do on ebay, or you return and get a refund

ive never had problems doing it

CEX are just extortionate, theyll buy it cheap and sell for more which is just shit

[severe sage]

And in most cases it's a lot more...

[polar lance]

yeah

they basically rip you off to make there own profit

[severe sage]

I've only ever sold there for things that would take years on eBay or just not sell at all. Other than that it's a fun place to look at when you're bored despite the awful deals.

[polar lance]

[arctic adder]

where was this? x3

[simple citrus]

belgium last month

[arctic adder]

oh xD i saw them in denmark after i guess 😄
