[tired glade]

it's just about battery at that point

[fast basalt]

its not

its 4gb vram vs 6gb vram which is why im still indecisive between 2060 and 3050ti

[tired glade]

https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-5-series/legion-5-gen-6-(15”-amd)-gaming-laptop/82jucto1wwus1 get this than

[fast basalt]

thast 500$ more

[tired glade]

https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-5-series/legion-5-(17-inch-amd)/82jycto1wwus1

everything give game pass

jump from 2060/3050/3050 ti to 3060 is like 300$ minimum

[zinc brook]

question

does microsoft still have those restrictions

on windows 10 non activated

mine isnt activated snd i can customise + no watermark

[tired glade]

yes, they still there

[neon mesa]

Non activated windows restrictions only come after a month iirc

[zinc brook]

oh

[dusky tusk]

what is the difference between peg and pcie

[tired glade]

percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy ?

[dusky tusk]

no i mean in my motherboards stettings

[gentle slate]

OK nah this is the last time I'm getting a 64 GB phone. Sick of seeing "free up storage or ur phone may not function"

[tired glade]

is peg still a thing?

[gentle slate]

💀

[dusky tusk]

yes

but what is the difference

the only explenation i found that it is faster bc it goes directly to the cpu

[tired glade]

oh, PEG is dirrect CPU lines now

[dusky tusk]

PCIe Device <--- PEG lanes ---> CPU PCIe Root Complex
PCIe Device <--- PCIe lanes ---> PCH <--- DMI ---> CPU PCIe Root Complex.

[tired glade]

yes, that is difference

[gentle slate]

Also why do mobile carriers shill those garbage phones to elderly people? My grandma has a smartphone and the thing barely functions

[tired glade]

cheaper

[dusky tusk]

so its better and a little bit faster i think

[gentle slate]

But it's shit

It actively causes her trouble. Those things aren't usable.

[tired glade]

if you bottleneck in some place

[tired glade]

still cheaper

[dusky tusk]

wdym by that

[tired glade]

if you though put bottleneck Chipset pci you will see difference

[dusky tusk]

mmm so the performance will change

so with peg i dont have a bottlenek ß

[tired glade]

don't have though put bottleneck, at best

pci ex still way to fast for avg user

[dusky tusk]

huh

i dont rlly understand

[tired glade]

you putting turbo jet engine on daily use car in city

[dusky tusk]

thats what pice does

[tired glade]

there will be speed limits somewhere else

yes

[dusky tusk]

so peg is the better choise

[tired glade]

yes, in the end

[dusky tusk]

bc peg matches your needs?

[tired glade]

it's overkill for what you need

[dusky tusk]

so pcie is overkill

[tired glade]

yes, it is, but it like high way

but nvme ssd, that use pci ex, are same price as sata or very close

Thinking about buying a thinkpad.
Is the t480s with the 8350u a good one?

[dusky tusk]

guys i have one mor question

i have 1 16 gb ddr4 ram stick and one 8 gb ddr4 stick and i have 2 slots on my motherboard does it make a difference if i but the 16gb stin in the first and the 8gb stick in the second and the other way around?

would be happy if i get a answer

i dont find anything on the internet about that

[tired glade]

it will work

you can get bluescreens from time to time

[dusky tusk]

ye i know but which way should i do

should i put the 16b in the first slot and the 8 gb one in the second or the 8gb one in the first and the 16 gb in the second slot

[tired glade]

first slot 16 and second 8

[dusky tusk]

why

[tired glade]

because 16 will be closer

[dusky tusk]

i have an h310PRIME H310M-A R2.0

[dusky tusk]

a_1 is my default slot if i only have 1 memory

[tired glade]

no

[dusky tusk]

i have an teamgrop 16 gb ddr4 3200mhz and a gskill 8gb ddr4 3400mhz one

[tired glade]

don't use 8 gb

[dusky tusk]

why

i mean they work together

but in which slot which stick

[wary summit]

my shop lost power lmao

we had to serve people by candle light

[tired glade]

Unpredictive errors and compatibility

[dusky tusk]

ye but if i would do it what would you do

[tired glade]

memory can stack at 2133 too

or timing will jump everytime you boot

or booting can fail at all

[dusky tusk]

but the higer capacity in the a1 and the lower capacity in slot b1

[dusky tusk]

its working i tested it

[tired glade]

how I said - it will work

what long term effect it will be, no-one knows

[dusky tusk]

that i know

but in which order is my only question

[tired glade]

16 - 8

first slot is closer, there isn't anything else there

[dusky tusk]

ye

so first the higer and than the lower one

🙂

right?

[dusky tusk]

so in a1 the 16gb one and in b1 the 8gb one

but only the 8gb ne has xmp the 16 bg one doesnt have that

[north wraith]

You guys think we will keep seeing improvements in handhelds like a steam deck 2, or will streaming take over?

As it stands right now even with decent wifi you can’t replace having the actual hardware in your hand even if it’s “just” a switch.

[agile jetty]

No. Even if you got diff memory use slots
A2
B2

[dusky tusk]

ok

sooo i wíll go 16 gb slot a1 and 8gb slot b1

Optimus is 💩

how do I know?

Let me see

I think it uses advanced optimus

Thats good

[hollow knot]

It uses a mux switch instead which can fully utilize the gpu for more fps

[full fossil]

Is it turbo mode?

[unkempt brook]

So, the forums have been down for a while. Any ideas what's up?

[hollow knot]

I think there is an option in nvidia control panel

Thanks a lot

[steep void]

Yes

I just swapped the ssd

It had a 256 gb one 💀☠️☠️

[steep void]

Oh I see

Bruh

256 is like home laptop storage

[hollow knot]

Why does a 256gb ssd even exist

[steep void]

Idek

Budgets?

Maybe you could have it as a boot drive and add an hdd?

Still stupid

Wouldn't hurt to make 512 GB the minimum

AT&T at the same spot

[crimson hawk]

I’m suffering with Verizon in Wisconsin

[dreamy otter]

Verizon is pretty bad unless you're in a 5G UW zone

[crimson hawk]

Nah that’s not necessarily the case

My LTE is great in illinois, suburbs of Chicago

But the second you cross into Wis it’s gone

[dreamy otter]

Everywhere i've been with Verizon has severe congestion issues, T-Mobile is fine, AT&T is in the middle, usually still usable

[crimson hawk]

I feel like each state has its carrier(s)

T-Mo is improving everywhere though

[dreamy otter]

Yeah they do.. it depends on coverage

T-Mobile has the best nationwide 5G though.

[crimson hawk]

I don’t have a 5G capable phone so I’m not the best person for comparison

Still on a 11 Pro, so only LTE for me

I have seen and heard great things about T-Mo’s 5G

[dreamy otter]

The only usable carrier for my town is T-Mobile

[crimson hawk]

I can pull 100 mbit at my house on LTE

[dreamy otter]

AT&T pulls only about 10mbps at town center by the tower, T-Mobile pulls 900mbps, Verizon pulls around 60mbps but drops really fast

[crimson hawk]

What state?

[dreamy otter]

TN

[crimson hawk]

I can believe that.

My friend had much better results with T-Mo when I was in NC as well

however he was also 5G so hard to fully compare

[dreamy otter]

My fastest speed test speeds are on 5G rather than wifi

[crimson hawk]

His house is on the summit of a mountain at 1700’ or so, but I still could grab a bar of usable LTE

[dreamy otter]

I usually go between 1-3 bars at my house

every carrier is usually unusable at my house besides for calling

[junior tide]

my fucking 14 hour shift is finally fucking over

i love my job but this type of shit makes me hate it

goddamn i just wanna play some pubg

[dreamy otter]

on occasion I can get decent speeds

[crimson hawk]

I have an LTE run from NYC where my download was 179 but my upload was 0.79

love Verizon

[dreamy otter]

I've gotten 450mbps on AT&T LTE

but - it was only in one area

[crimson hawk]

I think my best was Fort Lauderdale Beach, FL

369mbps

[dreamy otter]

nice

I feel bad for you Canadians with limited data plans lol

[crimson hawk]

Yeah, if I ever move to FL, I’ll definitely be keeping Verizon

Yikes, I have unlimited but “deprioritizing at 22GB”

I’ve never felt a difference or had an issue with it

[dreamy otter]

I have 50gigs of prioritized data on T-Mobile & AT&T

[crimson hawk]

I don’t live in a downtown city area so typically I’m alright.

But I’m nearby a tower, like a half mile.

Pretty sure the population of my town is like 30,000.

[dreamy otter]

AT&T is unusable in my town.. kind of sad considering we have them as our main carrier 😂

my town is around 50k

[crimson hawk]

I need to get down to TN. One of my friends moved to Columbia and I wanna see him lol

[dreamy otter]

I got a T-Mobile line because I was sick of dealing with the unusable speeds, and it's worth it lol. I get basically 100+ mbps everywhere I go

[crimson hawk]

Lol

He was in Spring Green and then got a house in Columbia.

[dreamy otter]

nice

best part of living in my town

[crimson hawk]

The symmetrical gig tho.

[vapid smelt]

How much maple is that plan

[dreamy otter]

Canadian cell phone plans are crazy

I got my T-Mobile plan for $20/mo lol

[vapid smelt]

For a single phone plan with the provider I use, usd

[crimson hawk]

Ah, mint

[vapid smelt]

Was it me or did it double upload

[dreamy otter]

Mint is good.. that was what I was going to use, but I found someone who resells T-Mobile Business plans so I hopped onto that, as I'm not porting my number

[dreamy otter]

it double uploaded

[vapid smelt]

Hmm I blame Verizon, I'm house/puppy sitting and that's what isp they have

[dreamy otter]

I hope it's not DSL

[vapid smelt]

It's 250 down load so I assume not

But unlike my place it's not symmetrical

[analog jungle]

i just dumped some bootloader logs and it says INTEL CONFIDENTIAL in the logs 💀

[full fossil]

lmao tryzen is cool

[dreamy otter]

Verizon is trying to charge $50/mo for "0.5-1mbps High Speed Internet" at my grandparents house lol

[full fossil]

totally not his friend

[crimson hawk]

My dad used to pay $250/mo for 1.5 mbps symmetrical

this was 2017

[dreamy otter]

💀 I thought that was like 2000 😭

[crimson hawk]

Lmao I had to step in and find something for us

[vapid smelt]

My home plans

[crimson hawk]

Ended up getting Ubifi for $90/mo which was like 70 mbps over LTE internet

[night heron]

yeesh 10gb

[crimson hawk]

Then we went to T-mobile home internet which was horrible

[night heron]

in new york if you live anywhere except NYC your only option is spectrum

[dreamy otter]

jealous of that 10 gig price

[crimson hawk]

And then we got Comcast to run us a line for gig cable

[night heron]

rockin with that maximum 25mb upload

i get like 485/25

but the connection itself is so extremely unstable

[dreamy otter]

AT&T's offerings here

[vapid smelt]

Hey that's not horrible when this happen , wasn't it 80+ in the past

[crimson hawk]

I get 948/47
Would get like 1200 if I had a 2.5G NIC

[feral rampart]

Those are amazing

[night heron]

i really wish we had fiber here

[dreamy otter]

Who's your ISP?

[night heron]

i cannot stand the horribly unstable connections spectrum offers

[crimson hawk]

Comcast/Xfinity

[feral rampart]

We have fiber here
No gigabit though

[crimson hawk]

They dug us a line because nobody else would

[dreamy otter]

That's good uploads for the 900? plan I'm assuming

My uncle has the same plan and gets 25up max

[crimson hawk]

Well if metronet ever gave us their service we’d have symmetrical gig but yknow

[vapid smelt]

My plans are all symmetrical to no nasty 10 gig down with 50Mbps up

[crimson hawk]

I’m fine with 47 up

[dreamy otter]

Cable upload speeds should be going up pretty soon

[tiny violet]

My internet is 5gb

[dreamy otter]

Spectrum is already having insider info leak about new plans

they are said to be 300/125, 500/250 and 1000/500

[vapid smelt]

Smh cheap fucks won't do symmetrical

[crimson hawk]

I’d never switch to spectrum 💀

[tiny violet]

What’s the best plan for my money

[dreamy otter]

I thought you said you have 5gbps internet

[tiny violet]

I’m wanting

[vapid smelt]

Inb4 5gb data cap

[dreamy otter]

💀

[vapid smelt]

Does spectrum have a data cap?

[dreamy otter]

No.

[crimson hawk]

Comcast has a terabyte but if you pay 15/mo it goes away

[vapid smelt]

Seems like a scummy thing they would do

[dreamy otter]

$30/mo*

[crimson hawk]

thought it was 15

[dreamy otter]

$25/mo if you use their router/modem

[shy geyser]

yo guys, so a usb c hub with gigabit ethernet costs about 30 quid minimum. what if you just buy a usb c to usb 3 hub for 10 quid, then plug a gigabit ethernet to usb 3 adapter for 10 quid into it? will that work as good as the hub with ethernet?

[crimson hawk]

yeah we are using theirs

[vapid smelt]

Home plans with data caps should be illegal

[dreamy otter]

They really should.

[vapid smelt]

Oh yikes

Thought Canada's data plans were getting better 😅 😢

[dreamy otter]

Spectrum's offerings here

[slender pilot]

I got 13 ISP's offering me full 1000/1000 to my apartment

[vapid smelt]

Nice

[slender pilot]

And of course no "data plan"

[tiny violet]

I have unlimited cell data

but the catch is slow cell data

[lucid echo]

Just had to switch from 2.5gig down/1gig up, to Xfinity’s 1gig down/35mbps up…. RIP my Plex server

[lucid echo]

“Gigabit” plans with broadband-level uploads should be illegal too

The rep said they’re updating all plans to symmetrical next month, let’s see if that pans out.

[crimson hawk]

Oh really huh. That’s the one I have.

I’d love to see symmetrical Comcast

[hot night]

Is there any good reason to use Windows 11 as of now?

[tough spruce]

They need to switch you over to fiber. That’s why

We use xfinity and have the option for 2gig symmetrical

So somehow xfinity only has a copper line to your house

[silver barn]

ok saw the m2 macbook air video and.... i almost want one... only its a macbook and its an m2 with inadequate cooling... But it looks damn pretty. Can anyone recommend an aluminium black pc laptop? ideally for under £1000

[tired glade]

m2 should be best Ultrabooks out there, but m1 should be just cheaper

[silver barn]

im still not convinced on the arm cores for m2 on macs

besidesi dont actually want a mac, i utterly detest their eco system and locking down of hardware

But like i say its damn pretty and looking for a pc laptop with similar aesthetics.

not for hardcoregaming on, that what my desktop is for... But mostly hardware and software devving on

so a middling spec laptop

what linus said?

[unkempt brook]

mjk it really isnt. Macs hayday as a media focused system was 10+ years ago... its slowly be eroding away

[ancient sparrow]

I just bought my first Nvidia gpu

[silver barn]

and frankly the m2...

Just isnt there

[proud jetty]

what WAN show bombshell? I didn't watch it, but saw the thumbnail / title on YT, and I remember another youtuber a couple days ago posting a video about some prebuilt PCs that were like $1K overpriced or something like that, was it related to that?

290x is better like 10-20%

[unkempt brook]

But, for Mac, you still have a wide array of cool programs written by smaller teams that you just don't get on Windows.

[tired glade]

that with open source driver

[tired glade]

there are cool and fancy software for RISC-V

Apple ecosystem is perfectly polished product with little problems, if you need that, door is always open

for a price

[dusky tusk]

But Its way older

[unkempt brook]

I've been actively looking at picking up a used Mac for various creative tasks. The software available is simply better. Even for word processing, you get better options on Mac.

[tired glade]

there is guide

[dusky tusk]

What distribution

[rain forge]

sry what that means too

[dusky tusk]

[tired glade]

LInux isn't OS, linux is just core

[dusky tusk]

Exactly

[rain forge]

kali

[dusky tusk]

Idont know this one

[lucid echo]

This is being rolled out in my city apparently

[tired glade]

https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/install-vmware-guest-vm/ works

[hollow zealot]

Why kali

[tired glade]

oh, it can be school laptop

[hollow zealot]

Kali is not something to have on a school laptop

Unless you're in school for that

[tired glade]

can be security thing

[hollow zealot]

Do you understand what kali is for

[shy geyser]

can someone explain to me how vr works

how do u connect it to ur pc

[hollow zealot]

Depends on the headset

[shy geyser]

i dont own one but like, google says usb??

[hollow zealot]

That's one way

[tired glade]

I googled 1 min, looks like everything about security

[hollow zealot]

But once again it depends on the headset

[shy geyser]

so it sends video data over usb???

[tired glade]

For what Kali?

[shy geyser]

what are the options

[tired glade]

Kali Linux is an open-source, Debian-based Linux distribution geared towards various information security tasks, such as Penetration Testing, Security Research, Computer Forensics and Reverse Engineering.
oh

[hollow zealot]

Yeah that's definitely not ideal for general use

Tldr is Kali is a distro meant for white hat hackers or security professionals

[dusky tusk]

Should i enable Speed Shift or speedstep

[tired glade]

VM is pre-installed on it

who he got Kali anyway?!

I think, both useless if it not FPS

[dusky tusk]

I mean Performance

Not good If you wanna have Performance right

[hollow zealot]

I would recommend Mint, as a good beginner Linux distro, personally

[timber ridge]

is the ltt forum down?

[hollow zealot]

Yea

[timber ridge]

O_O

[tired glade]

@rain forge how you got Kali?

[hollow zealot]

Haven't seen any info as to why

[turbid hazel]

whats the pcie to laptop adapter thingy called?

[tired glade]

which one?

[dusky tusk]

So both disabled If you wanna have Performance

Right

[tired glade]

I never touch that thing

[dusky tusk]

Same

But i Wonder what does IT do

[full fossil]

is Fraps still good to have?

[hollow zealot]

Google it

[dusky tusk]

Done only cofuseing information

[full fossil]

A lot of games I have aren't on steam, and dont have FPS counters

I do remember there being a more advanced option though

[hollow zealot]

Just pick either one then, figure it out by trial and error

[sonic cove]

Ltt Twitter hacked?

[tired glade]

both Nvidia and AMD has inbuild FPS counters and Windows also have inbuild one

[dusky tusk]

What

That can Not be

[full fossil]

ok

[dusky tusk]

Rlly?

[tired glade]

no

[timber ridge]

so is there any info regarding the forum?

[hollow zealot]

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/what-does-intel-speed-shift-do.3574107/

Not yet

[full fossil]

where is the one that has CPU/GPU temp, RAM usage, among other things as well as FPS?

@tired glade

[dusky tusk]

Has Somebody ddr4 ram lying around that He doesnt need? I rlly need some

game something

[dusky tusk]

Pls DM me than

Okay, the program was MSI Afterburner

[timber ridge]

when did the forum go down?

[dusky tusk]

Mmm Server down maybe

Just wait i think they will fix it soon

[tough spruce]

Unless they just… run 2 copper lines, there’s a reason it’s taking this long lmao

[lucid echo]

I’ll definitely report back once it’s updated, I was equally confused when they told me

[tough spruce]

Yeah, I’m curious to see how they do it

I think they are fixing IT rn

[proud jetty]

ah thanks will go look at it.

backing up a couple minutes before that to see if i can get some context too

ah wow .... yeah I have no reason to believe Linus would have ever been involved with anything like that.

[lucid echo]

Yeah I think he handled the situation well

[proud jetty]

saw the little blurb about Bible camp ... if the things linus says he DID do (with his then high school sweetheart at 16) happened at my church while I was growing up (doing "it" before marriage) it would have been dealt with internally. Even kissing would have been frowned upon then until you were at least engaged (and some didn't kiss until their wedding ceremony), and at least when I was younger hugging wouldn't have been encouraged, but we're a bit more relaxed on that now.
Linus had a bit better luck in the "kind of an awkward teen when it came to girls" department than me ... I'm 5 weeks older than JayzTwoCents, and next time will be my first.

but i'm in no hurry to get in a relationship right now, I have other things i'm working on in my life that have nothing to do with that, before I feel I'll be ready. (Among them, trying to find a career path that will stick.)

What time is the forums supposed to come back online?

[somber igloo]

Probably not.

[dusky tusk]

rlly

[hearty spear]

it's a very complicated combination of materials that are forged in the heat of 1,000 suns, and the resulting crystaline structure is the strongest, and most durable substance on earth.

[dusky tusk]

probably not isnt an answer

[hearty spear]

it is tho. I can't imagine it'd be your RAM causing it.

reboot into safe mode and see if the lag is there still

[dusky tusk]

and if it is

[hearty spear]

fuck if I know at that point

your RAM has little to nothing to do with your mouse performance

[dusky tusk]

i know

[somber igloo]

If it does, turn off plug n play

[dusky tusk]

but maybe the ram with windows

[hearty spear]

no

more likely is you have something in the background fucking with it

so, go try safe mode

[dusky tusk]

nope its a clean install

Anybody has a 8th or 9th Gen Intel Prozessor that He doesnt Need anymore

[indigo comet]

I've been here quite a while and I still don't understand how someone had the audacity to put "No memes or shitposting" but didn't actually make a channel for a bunch of INTERNET DWELLERS to do so

[hearty spear]

simple:
Nobody want to have to moderate the fucking shitposts and memes

so the simple answer was "We won't have them"

WDYM? HOW LOW DO YOU WANT IT WHAT

[hearty spear]

what are you expecting to pay?

[polar fern]

Bro. Calm your mammaries

[dusky tusk]

150-160max

[indigo comet]

Am perfectly calm, using caps doesn't mean I actually feel that.. text on the internet is all about putting on a fun show 🤩

[hearty spear]

i5 8500 for less than 100 is... well under that?

[dusky tusk]

Are you broke or sth

[indigo comet]

They said less than 100

[dusky tusk]

But isnt a great deal for that price

[indigo comet]

I am confused.

[polar fern]

If you can afford it - buy it

[hearty spear]

do you expect to find an i9 for 160 or less?

[dusky tusk]

Nope

[polar fern]

Sigh.

[dusky tusk]

But 9th gen

[indigo comet]

@dusky tusk Can you perhaps say exactly what you are looking for with a maximum price you are willing to pay... and we can tell you how easy it'll be to find/give links

[hearty spear]

there ain't much change from 8th to 9th gen

[dusky tusk]

An i5 or i7 works for me 9th gen

And for my max 180 IS my absolute max

I have a question for those knowledgeable about the 30 series cards.

So I have a founders 2080TI right now, if I recall correctly the smallest 30 series card I found was 2mm longer than the 2080ti.. However, those 2mm will probably end up touching/pushing against my reservoir, did any company ever come out with a dual fan (obviously will be chonky) 3080/90/ti?

[soft swan]

maybe u can find the file for the virus and delete it

[vapid smelt]

Yes

[harsh lodge]

@soft swanI reseted my whole pc

it is still freezing somehow

[soft swan]

use glasswire

[harsh lodge]

what is that ?

[hearty spear]

wwindows reset, or wiped the drive and reinstalled?

[harsh lodge]

windows reset

[hearty spear]

ain't gonna fix a virus

its a program to check if u actually have a virus

[dusky tusk]

You did it

yep

[full fossil]

Who can give me some advice on buying something

[soft swan]

oh

[dusky tusk]

But IS IT working

[hearty spear]

depends on what

[drowsy berry]

When I plug it in and turn it on the fans spin up but no display

[dusky tusk]

Than no

[full fossil]

Just the regular specs and stuff i want the best for my budget and specifications

[soft swan]

what u gonna use it for it gaming?

[hearty spear]

nope, i'm not speccing out a build for someone from scratch

alr I downloaded it , now what do I do? @soft swan

[wind igloo]

aight, so I have another question tho,
I am currently looking to buy either a Zotac RTX 2070 Super Mini for $275 (USD) or an ROG Geforce GTX 1080-Ti for $325 (USD), according to userbenchmark.com with my current setup the 2070S would give me 115%/95%/108% gaming/desktop/workstation, and the 1080-Ti says 131%/95%/123%, which on would y'all go with? I currently have a 1650 Super.

[dusky tusk]

I dont think IT can fix this

[soft swan]

uhm there should be tutorials for glasswire on youtube

[full fossil]

Can i dm u because its a copy paste

[soft swan]

uhm i was just wondering i dont know much about pc parts tbh

[hearty spear]

See, people? This is what you do, YOU ASK FIRST.

[dusky tusk]

And you should try the Heat Methode with a hairdryer

[full fossil]

Okay

[drowsy berry]

It’s worth a try. I got it for free off a friend since his aio leaked on it and I helped him build a new pc.

[dusky tusk]

Yes

[drowsy berry]

Why’d you say no to 91% isopropyl then

[dusky tusk]

But try to Clean and than Test when IT does nothing try with the Heat method

[drowsy berry]

Ok

[dusky tusk]

But sth could make a Short circut

Thats what hapend i think

[drowsy berry]

There is residue all over the back of the pcb and there was a small amount of bubbly fluid on 1 small component that looked like battery corrosion

I’m not too hopeful

[dusky tusk]

Thats bad

Its dead

[drowsy berry]

But I am just trying to fix it for fun. I already have a better gpu I use in my pc so it means nothing to me

[dusky tusk]

You wont be able

[vapid smelt]

It's fine

[drowsy berry]

Alright

[vapid smelt]

And when you have it open look for any burnt bits or corrosion

[drowsy berry]

I saw corrosion when I opened it up on a tiny component on the back of the pcb

So I’m not too hopeful

[dusky tusk]

Corrosin means death

[vapid smelt]

Can always be fixed

https://youtu.be/aHnd6PAd4C0

[dusky tusk]

Not when its in on the layers

[dusky tusk]

But they worked and Had nothing

[drowsy berry]

What would you suggest besides cleaning. I’ve seen people fight about oven baking gpu’s but not much else

[proud jetty]

Okay so it's a bit annoying when sites put such low limits on traffic per connection :/ ... I thought I should be able to absolutely max out a top-end CPU (for example 8x Xeon Platinum which I can't in any way afford lol), RAM, SSD, GPU, network configuration and not even be a drop in the ocean in the server load when browsing various websites....
But here my poor peasant potato CPU, RAM, SSD, GPU and network are twiddling their thumbs, and I'm still often hitting "too many requests", "prove you're a human" or other errors when simply browsing sites like pcpartpicker, newegg, gsmarena and techpowerup gpu database, among others.

[vapid smelt]

don't put it in the fucking oven!!

[proud jetty]

yeah i have no experience there, but the oven does NOT sound like a good idea.

[dusky tusk]

Reinstall windows

[drowsy berry]

Exactly lmao

[proud jetty]

I just installed it in I think December 2021 though, when I built the PC. (It's the newest Windows install here, the one on my laptop with an i7-6700K is still the original install, even after cloning to another SSD cause I was running out of space. Still on a SATA SSD on that one cause I couldn't figure out how to migrate an existing install to NVMe, but my desktop is on an NVMe SSD.)

[dusky tusk]

Oh

I would do it anyway

[harsh lodge]

soo what exactly do I do if the virus messes with my mouse?

[dusky tusk]

Did you done all updates

[dusky tusk]

Clean Windows install

[proud jetty]

and I think the issue is server side, not client side. I'm just venting that I keep hitting a server-imposed traffic limit long before my system melts down. 😛

[drowsy berry]

But besides proving my point is there anything I can do as an average consumer besides cleaning?

[dusky tusk]

Nah cant be

[vapid smelt]

Unless you have fancy equipment no

[harsh lodge]

@dusky tuskwell I windows reset even reinstalling windows

so I dont know any other option...

[dusky tusk]

Lol

[proud jetty]

My desktop Windows is mostly updated, at least to the last time I restarted it which was only 15 and a half days ago. My laptop, on the other hand, flat-out refuses to update past Windows 10 1909, idk why. (It keeps complaining I don't have enough disk space, even though I have like 600GB free.)

[dusky tusk]

You need to do a Clean install

[drowsy berry]

Alright

[proud jetty]

idk what system you're running but you could probably make a site ask to prove you're a human too. 😛 For example, open pcpartpicker, go to browse a category of parts like GPUs or storage or whatever, and start middle-clicking or ctrl+clicking down the list as fast as your fingers will let you. (I can just about manage 3.5 or 4 per second, which doesn't seem to even make a dent in my 5950X or 128GB RAM.)
It probably won't take long before the tabs you're opening up start asking if you're human.
Just don't do it TOO much, I've actually had it lock me out of the site for a while (just with a "PCPartpicker is unavailable." message in text in the upper left corner.

[dusky tusk]

Havent Had that

[proud jetty]

I get it all the time.

[dusky tusk]

Even if i Had 300 Times the Same Website open

Even if i compleatly Spam f5 nothing

[dusky tusk]

Restart your Router maybe

Sometimes IT can cause issued for No reason

[proud jetty]

Also spamming F5 has been known to do the same for LTT forums for me.

[dusky tusk]

[proud jetty]

lemme try something...

[dusky tusk]

[hearty spear]

oof, the LTT Forum estimate of "30 minutes" was decidedly not right lol

[dusky tusk]

[hearty spear]

you can log into Slickdeals with your google account, too. Does that mean Slickdeals is google?

[hearty spear]

They bought the forum software that is running in the background.

That's not really uncommon

[proud jetty]

SaSa...grrr...will comment from pc

[hearty spear]

Well, likely they're paying an annual sub for the forum software.

[dusky tusk]

Have you done what i sayed

[strange solstice]

hm will a 700w psu be enough for 5900x, tuf gaming 3080 10gb, 16x2gb ram, 2 ssds (1 m.2), 2 HDDs, noctua cooler, 7 case fans 🤔

[proud jetty]

okay so yeah doing it on my phone and turning off WiFi (going directly through my cell provider, which bypasses my router) does the same thing.
And typing in discord from my phone is fucked up, it won't let me backspace all the way to delete messages, and often it adds / duplicates characters when I try to backspace to correct things. (I actually got kicked out of another discord a while back, I think because of that issue.)

[echo ridge]

Maybe

[dusky tusk]

Not only wifi

[hearty spear]

if it's a really good 700W, but you're pushing the high end.

you'd be better off with a good 800

[dusky tusk]

Turn of the while Router @proud jetty

[strange solstice]

thermaltake smart rgb

[proud jetty]

but when I go through LTE on my phone I'm not even going through the router, I'm going directly over the air through T-Mobile. (My router is hooked up to Cox cable.)

[dusky tusk]

Just try If its Not working IS another issue

[hearty spear]

nope, most of those are E or F tier

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

shop the tier list, going below B is usually a bad plan

(C may be okay on low-spec systems, but that box you're listing is absolutely not)

[strange solstice]

well its been running for 2-3 years lol

and never had issues

[proud jetty]

Just curious on PSUs ... what's the minimum tier you generally recommend getting, depending on the usage? I presume that A or S tier would be the minimum if you're running like a 3090 Ti and a Threadripper, but if you're running just a low-end APU and a bunch of hard drives (like a dozen or so, say for a NAS), would E or F tier be okay for that?

[strange solstice]

although i know with 3080 i might be pushing too hard on it

[hearty spear]

never buy E or F

[hearty spear]

you're fucking lucky. you're trusting 2 grand of hardware to a sketch PSU. you're braver than me.

[coarse kayak]

It depends on how the PSU reacts to power spikes the 3080 has which is kinda random

[dusky tusk]

Ltt IS Back for me

[strange solstice]

yeah the reason which i might just get an 850w one

[coarse kayak]

I think only way you could find out would be trying the 3080 with it and if it turns itself off you need a better one lol

[strange solstice]

am seeing a lot of posts in reddit saying it works for them even with 650w lol

[coarse kayak]

I have a 3060ti with a budget 550W seasonic and it's fine

[proud jetty]

was thinking of something interesting though ... I think on past tier lists I've seen some pretty old PSUs (like ones that are light on 12V and heavier on 5.5V or 3V) be in the bottom tiers ... but what if, for example, you're replacing a PSU in a really old system?
For example, maybe a Pentium III (I think the P4 was the first to rely a lot on 12V, but I don't remember), or maybe even a '386 or '486 (which used AT and predated ATX)...

[coarse kayak]

o nvm the seasonic in my brothers PC it even worse i got it with a 500w budget corsair one from a while ago

[hearty spear]

Tier B don't have to be crazy expensive. I got a sfx one recently for 90$ for my NAS build

[proud jetty]

Ah what's your nas specs, i'm curious 🙂

[hearty spear]

you can get a b tier 500W cheap. You don't need to spend a lot.

[hearty spear]

i5 8500, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVME, 512GB SATA SSD, 256GB NVME (Cache Drive), 5x12TB HDD, 650W sfx PSU, Jonsbo N1 Case

[coarse kayak]

it shouldn't damage anything even if your power supply protection did trip with it it would just turn itself off. May as well save the money and see if current PSU fine first then only get another one if it isn't

[strange solstice]

yeah i was thinking of that only, i usually don't replace things unless there's a real need to, these corporates will obviously ask us to do it since it sells their friends stuff also then lmao

[coarse kayak]

it's kind of annoying power is going off the rails now because you had nvidia 1000 series being really efficient but then they just yeeted it after

[harsh lodge]

alr so plugging my mouse into my motherboard ports causes it to freeze sometimes

but plugging them into the front panel usb 3.0 it doesn't freeze at all

[median rune]

I wonder what happened to the forum?

[hearty spear]

maintenance

[median rune]

Thanks

[hearty spear]

does front usb 2 cause freezes?

[agile lintel]

hey i have a question are corsair refurbs from corsair.com worth it?

[harsh lodge]

@hearty spearit doesn't

but the motherboard usb connectors causes them

[hearty spear]

depends on what

[agile lintel]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Certified-Refurbished/Liquid-Cooling/iCUE-H100i-ELITE-CAPELLIX-Liquid-CPU-Cooler-(Refurbished)/p/CW-9060046-WW/RF?utm_source=google&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=shopping&utm_term="keyword"&utm_content=corsair&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuO6WBhDLARIsAIdeyDI5759uYzH6n0YVIHzHdWMsX4B9LnCD3XBsTR___0n251XFv40TeuMaAr5IEALw_wcB

[hearty spear]

then something may be fucked up in the usb controller

or possibly the port

[hearty spear]

i would aboslutely never buy a refurb AIO.

[harsh lodge]

@hearty spearmy keyboard is plugged into the back usb and it is working good.

[agile lintel]

whats bad about them

[harsh lodge]

but my mouse has issues

[hearty spear]

on one specific port on the back, or any

[harsh lodge]

I tried switching the ports

I tried every port in the back, freezed on them

[coarse kayak]

pro tip you can remove the question mark in link and everything after it and link wil lbe the same lol. That's all like tracking data shit

[hearty spear]

but not the front?

[harsh lodge]

not the front tho

it works good on the front idk why .

[hearty spear]

likely 2 different usb controllers

[harsh lodge]

this just started happening after I download a virus which stole information/data

[agile lintel]

umm whats bad about refurbs aios

[hearty spear]

things with moving parts like AIOs are riskier than other refurb things

[agile lintel]

o

thank you ill just wait till i have enough to get teh regular aio

[hearty spear]

have you reinstalled windows from scratch, including deleting all the partitions on your drive?

[harsh lodge]

nn-o

should I do that?

[agile moth]

i've just had an idea

[harsh lodge]

I think I should let me do that.

[agile moth]

did y'all see the cpu pillow dogbed in the new LTT video?

how about this: an intel socket dogbed, where the walls of the socket serve as slightly raised walls in the dog bed, and the pins serve as cute little fluffy little material

[harsh lodge]

how to wipe all drives?

[agile moth]

some dogs don't like flat dog beds, like the cpu pillow dog bed.

[hearty spear]

if you got a virus? Yes.

[harsh lodge]

can I screenshare and you guide me to where I should go?

[hearty spear]

1. unplug any drive that isn't your boot drive.
2. boot off the windows USB Installer
3. Do a custom install
4. delete all the partitions on your drive
5. Click next

no, I don't screenshare on discord.

[harsh lodge]

oh

I meant I screenshare and you watch

[hearty spear]

still no.

[harsh lodge]

okayy

[echo ridge]

Why not you hiding something

[hearty spear]

also: Don't DM people for tech support without asking. You're not paying anyone here to be your IT Slave.

[harsh lodge]

I apologize 😦

[fluid mauve]

Forum is back up

[hearty spear]

Thank you Mortis!

Upgrade went rougher than expected?

[echo ridge]

What forum

Oh right

[hearty spear]

the LTT Forum

Mortis is Forum God.

[echo ridge]

When I hear mortis I think cs skin possibly because I have that cs skin

[hearty spear]

this is a pretty solid deal from `Egg right now

[pale bloom]

are you still wondering?

[woeful minnow]

Wtf the gpu has 5 outputs

[thin fjord]

maybe you want 5 monitors

[hearty spear]

nvidia limits it to 4

(It used to be a limit of 2 or 3 lol)

[thin fjord]

well that's no fun

wait but my gpu also has 5 display-outs

so what will happen if i use all of them?

[hearty spear]

the last one won't run a screen

it ain't rocket surgery

[full fossil]

lol

If i get a TN display laptop and connect it to a IPS display monitor does it translate

[narrow iron]

The display on the laptop won't have any baring on your external display.

[full fossil]

that shouldn't matter the laptop won't affect the monitor

Thanks

[peak sable]

Is it worth it to actually get higher than 60-75hz monitor?

[full fossil]

anyone know the 3070 equivalent in amd gpu?

[full fossil]

for gaming yeh

[full fossil]

For console no for pc yes

[peak sable]

hmm.. I guess I need to actually see the difference in person 😦

[full fossil]

Does hz represent how many fps your display can.. display?

[peak sable]

I use my 27" samsung which is 60hz iirc and 1080

for games, my 34" UW is for everything else

[full fossil]

the fps depends on the pc

the hz is the max refresh rate ( i think)

[full fossil]

Yeah but the monitor can only display how many fps in hz it takes… does that make sense

How many fps it translates into hz

Idk tbh

[thin fjord]

yes

[full fossil]

"While both refresh rate and FPS are related to each other and affect the smoothness of the displayed video or graphics, they are different. You may have a gaming system with a low refresh rate and high FPS or vice-versa. In both cases, the lower number will limit the performance."

[thin fjord]

yes

[peak sable]

I guess whats the benefit of going higher? like I mentioned i have the samsung t350 27" which does 75hz

[full fossil]

So if i have for example a 60hz monitor it can only display 60fps right

[short copper]

it looks way smoother

i went from 60 to 165 and i dont think i could go back to 60

[full fossil]

no but higher fps with less hz will look not as good

[short copper]

im probably going to get 1440p 120s or 144s

[full fossil]

Theres a point where theres no difference right? Between 240hz+

[thin fjord]

other than gaming, scrolling webpages/documents is generally a nicer experience as you can read the text more clearly as you scroll and general response times makes things feel snappier

[hearty spear]

60 to 75 isn't much of a change, but 144 or higher is a big difference, if your PC can push it

[full fossil]

yes, if you have more thqn 60 fps, it goes as input frames, in which they exist the same, and you will input commands at the frame that your display lacks tech to show

[thin fjord]

yes

[full fossil]

try reading this https://www.electronicshub.org/hz-vs-fps-find-the-difference/#:~:text=Is FPS the same as,number will limit the performance.

I dont feel like reading right now, ill read it later

[thin fjord]

there is still benefits to going above 240hz, it's just less noticable

[worldly kayak]

bruh so im installing windows right

[thin fjord]

yeah

[full fossil]

hm

ok

[full fossil]

rookie mistake

Why?

[full fossil]

lol

[worldly kayak]

and i didnt even do anything and i just restarted the bios and it just worked LOL

[full fossil]

Is windows bad

very bad

[worldly kayak]

average linux user

[full fossil]

that happens

[hearty spear]

watch the LTT video on it

[thin fjord]

he's just joking lol

[full fossil]

Brb

[full fossil]

above average says my mom

[worldly kayak]

yep just working now lol

[worldly kayak]

your mom = correct opinion

[full fossil]

Wait is linux, from linus

true....

[full fossil]

yes

Or is that just a coincidence in the matrix

[short copper]

yes

[worldly kayak]

linux is linus

[short copper]

linus torvalds

it is objectively from linus the linus tech tips owner

Wait whatt linus created linux
