Guys ive made the mistake of buying thermal paste even tho my aio already has some applied

[ocean narwhal]

Highly recommend the blue line lol

[kindred wraith]

Now i wanna use it how do i wipe my aio clean

I dont have alcohol

[ocean narwhal]

You "can" just wipe it clean with water and paper towels

[night heron]

if you don’t have alcohol just use the included paste until you buy some

[ocean narwhal]

Maybe not very recommended

[kindred wraith]

Already bought kryonaut lol

[wild mulch]

my 1630 came! finally goodbye to my old 1080ti and in with the new

such an amazing price too, £250

[sharp bobcat]

wait

[hearty spear]

Wat

You know that the 1630 is a 1050TI, right?

[wild mulch]

no it’s a 1630

550 higher than 1080ti

[full fossil]

😳

[wild mulch]

i’m half way through putting it into my rig now

[full fossil]

😳

[wild mulch]

i can’t wait, it’s going to be so good

[minor zephyr]

I hope this is a joke

[wild mulch]

you’re all just hating because they’re out of stock and i got a good price 🤷‍♂️

[minor zephyr]

I have a 3080 founders I’m not hating

[sharp bobcat]

[full fossil]

bruh

[minor zephyr]

He is joking

[wild mulch]

how did you know?

[full fossil]

I'm talking 'bout myself

[wild mulch]

me too!

[sharp bobcat]

I have a laptop with quadro M600M 2gb gddr5 and even I do know both 1630 and my card are bruh momentum

[coral verge]

Hello me fellow processors and motherboards

[wild mulch]

prebuilt i bought like 6 years ago

[hearty spear]

and the 1630 is just as fast as a 1050TI. Enjoy the downgrade!

[minor zephyr]

He is joking

Has to be

[hearty spear]

one would hope, but I've seen too much stupid on this server to be sure

[full fossil]

it's even worse, techspot says. https://www.techspot.com/review/2498-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1630/

[hearty spear]

how do they make a card 5 years later, with worse performance, for the same price?

[lilac quartz]

Because 1630 is budget card

[minor zephyr]

Happens every year

[lilac quartz]

And 1080ti was the most high end at the time

[hearty spear]

The 1050TI was also a budget card.
Same price as the 1630, and it was faster.

[sharp bobcat]

even 1030 is still far more appealing and far more hype than 1630

ngl

[minor zephyr]

You need to do research testing before buying

[hearty spear]

oh no, the 1030 is shit. The 1630 is absolutely better than the 1030.

[minor zephyr]

Not by much

[hearty spear]

Ryzen iGPUs are better than the 1030. It's not much of a bar.

[sharp bobcat]

but yea don't downgrade from 1080ti to 1030

[minor zephyr]

Don’t even downgrade to a 1630

[sharp bobcat]

I know. But release wise it was actually good at least back then

[hearty spear]

jesus, the 1650 is 50% Faster than a 1630. That's terrifying.

[sharp bobcat]

ikr

even rx6400 is even faster than 1630

and I have zero doubt it's the LP version

[hearty spear]

like, they only needed to re-release a 1050TI with current cores. It would have been fine. The 1050TI was loved for very good reasons.

And if they made it in a primarily low-profile setup? Holy shit, that would have been AMAZING.

[sharp bobcat]

1060 12gb

[hollow zealot]

I personally liked the 1660 Ti

[hearty spear]

1660 is a solid series.

If it was a reasonable price still, it'd be baller.

[hollow zealot]

What price would you like to see

[frosty osprey]

Fair. Thanks again BTW.

@vapid smelt

[manic torrent]

I got my 1660super for $430 in early 2020. It was a ripoff for what it was. I recently got a 6600xt for $500 and that was a good value. (Prices in aud)

[hearty spear]

yeah. At this point the 1660 series should be a bit below MSRP at least. Paying over it for a 3+ year old card is insane.

[neon mesa]

Not really they're more of an equal

[neon mesa]

1050ti doesn't release at 199$

[manic torrent]

Yeah but you're arguing about what type of shit tastes better at that point

[hearty spear]

5600g is pretty close, the 5700g beats the 1030.

[neon mesa]

If 200$ is now budget Im disappointed in gpu world

[manic torrent]

.... Be disappointed

[hearty spear]

you're right, it was 140.

[outer creek]

RTX 3050 are actually decent for laptops, problem is they're being paired with a measly 8gb ram

[hearty spear]

and that's fine

[outer creek]

no

[manic torrent]

Yeah... My freaking desktop 3070 only has 8gb ram

[outer creek]

who tf still used 8gb

[hearty spear]

It really is. you don't need 12 or 16GB on a low-end laptop GPU.

[full fossil]

so everyone knows lag switches right??
so i can across this youtube video where this guy is saying this other guy is using a lag switch when he is obviously not
plus u can use lag switches on dedicated servers (you use to be able to when call of duty used p2p)
and you can see everyone in the comments go on about how every game someone is using a lag switch or how they are talented but someone is lag switching them ruining their chances to go pro
and i find it freaking hilarious how stupid all these ppl sound goin on abt how they are good but can play bc of lag switchers bahaha

[outer creek]

nah I meant laptops ram not vram

also my laptop 3060 has 6gb vram omegalul

[manic torrent]

Oh, then you are buying the wrong sku

[neon mesa]

16 is minimal on gaming laptop
You'd be surprised

I only got a 1050ti on my PC and i got 16 because games do eat more

Without that I'd be in a world of suffering

[hearty spear]

you mean like the recent LTT Video where they showed that in most titles 16GB did absolutely nothing over 8?

[manic torrent]

I have an XPS13 with 16gb ram, thunderbolt egpu 6600XT

[outer creek]

there are games that will make your pc explode if y only gave 8

like rust

[hearty spear]

Rust is made like shit, and shouldn't exist

[neon mesa]

It won't have performance difference if the game fits well within that 8GB

[manic torrent]

If you don't do anything else with your PC ever, sure.

[neon mesa]

But if the game puts your 8GB at 96% usage it sure as hell drops performance a lot

[manic torrent]

But I am not closing my 87 chrome tabs to play a game

[outer creek]

yea but that's too little for an rtx3050. with a 1650 probably but def not an rtx

[neon mesa]

On iGPU 16 is mandatory

[outer creek]

for that you should be able to play games that require more than 8

[neon mesa]

Those vega iGPUs eat a lot

[full fossil]

they only eat up to 2gb

[neon mesa]

They don't

That's just dedicated

The part where other stuff cant eat

[graceful burrow]

Rust performs like ass even in top of the line systems

[neon mesa]

But the iGPU will eat as many as it wants

[full fossil]

uh

[neon mesa]

There is this thing called shared GPU memory

If my vega can only eat 1GB I'd be fucked

[graceful burrow]

Theyre right
It reserves a portion of your system ram for gpu only but if it needs more than what's provided it'll just use it up

It'll use more than what's reserved

[full fossil]

thats what im tryna say

[graceful burrow]

That's what Fiona is saying

[neon mesa]

Same with dGPU also
They can use ram if needed but unlike dGPUs, iGPUs already use the RAM so they don't have tanked performance using shared memory.

[north wraith]

the button confusion from hopping from switch to Xbox is real

[full fossil]

i dont even feel like explaining myself to u guys

[sharp bobcat]

how do I fix data transfer error that stuck in hddsentinel

granted it's only two data transfer error that makes the drive went 98% and not a physical or surface damage but

it's just annoying to see

[shy geyser]

what version display port do i need for 3440x1440 with hdr at 175hz?

will 1.4 do it?

[hearty spear]

See what version of DP those monitors use, and get at least that.

[livid imp]

@vale cape

[shy geyser]

aw3423dw uses 1.4 but i dont think that can do it

seems the only way to get its full potential is hdmi 2.1

but i cant think of any way of getting hdmi 2.1 out of my laptop

[hearty spear]

the manual will tell you what interface supports what refresh.

And if you odn't have HDMI 2.1 onboard a laptop? You can't add it.

[shy geyser]

is displayport over usb c lower bandwith than displayport 1.4?

usb c 3.2 gen2

[livid imp]

If you are a SaladChefs mod reply this

uwu

[lucid echo]

I have an HDR 3440 165Hz over DisplayPort 1.4. Most monitors like that don't have an HDMI port version that is capable of its full resolution

[hearty spear]

yes

[shy geyser]

do you know what the maximum refresh rate i would get on 3440x1440 would be with usb c 3.2 gen 2 displayport over usb c?

[hearty spear]

4k60 is the max, so... potentially over 60, but def not 175

https://www.displayport.org/displayport-over-usb-c/

[shy geyser]

that says 8k at 60hz

[hearty spear]

very compressed. scroll to the bottom.

[shy geyser]

oh i have no clue how that stuff works

[lucid echo]

I have a USBC to DP that I sometimes use with the monitor mentioned and I get full resolution/refresh

[shy geyser]

is that doing dodgy compression stuffs though and how to tell if it is?

[lucid echo]

I notice no difference in image quality or artifacting

[gaunt hawk]

Guys does anyone have experience with 3d printer cause i cant get my ender 3 to work anymore

[lucid echo]

What happened

[gaunt hawk]

I upgraded my ender 3 pro to a silent motherboard and touch screen display, at first it didnt want to go to home or print

Now i wanted to flash a newer version on it and now it doesn’t even move the motors

[lucid echo]

That's rough. I don't have much experience with swapping printer boards, sorry 😦

[gaunt hawk]

Sad

[peak sable]

Ugh. With how expensive things are getting, I think I'm going to have to really hammer harder on programming and I'm not to learn some new languages. Probably start Java or something like that and become more proficient and C++ and Python. I'm going to have to get a raise at work or try finding a better job because man like electric went through the roof. It's ridiculous. Anybody else experiencing the same thing?

[hearty spear]

look for a 3d printer discord, you'll probably have more luck

[gaunt hawk]

Ok

[lucid echo]

I did, then I found another software gig and lied to them about how much I was currently making, then they offered even more than that.

Infinite money glitch

[hearty spear]

If you want a real raise? Learn new stuff, then get a new job.

[peak sable]

Yeah I'm going to have to try getting a raise at work or a new job at work which realistically I can cuz right now I just process insurance applications because it's harder to get into our IT department outside the company then it is in but I have an incumbency period of 2 years so and that's for a promotional or promotional is one year and lateral movements is 2 years

[lucid echo]

Or do what I did, lie about what you know and learn on the job

[peak sable]

Well I have until minimum October anyways. Actually November before I can even get a new job in the company because that's my one-year mark this October. So I mean if I can learn what they're asking for in these other roles then hopefully I can get something cuz like man the one job that I want to get is like double my salary basically or I'll double my yeah annual salary but I make hourly

Just it's insane how much the cost of everything's going up like electric here use 134 kilowatt hours less than last month. But my bill is 60 higher. It's insane

[sonic barn]

You can make money off investing

I'm up like 2x

[molten drift]

Enjoy the taxes you'll have to pay when you cash out.

[sonic barn]

No taxes

Tfsa

[molten drift]

That's not how it works ..

Literally it's called capital gains tax.

[sonic barn]

You pay no gains tax in a tfsa

[molten drift]

Sure thing kiddo

[sonic barn]

CRA regulations

It's legit called a tax free savings account

Then I can use my personal account for day trading up to 18k basic income with no tax

After that it's up to 50% gains tax

[lucid echo]

So “I don’t work anymore” doesn’t sound very accurate then

[fluid ridge]

[lucid echo]

Is this directed at my rasppi comment?

jk I misread

thought you said "you cant" not "cant you"

[fluid ridge]

yeah it's more like "isnt a database not very machine heavy so of course a rasberry pi could run it since you could run one off of a file"

oh

[lucid echo]

Yeah and you can do data science without machine learning (ML) or complicated algorithms, which is generally what you need the beefy computer for

[fluid ridge]

ok but what data science are you doing with just a database 🗿

manual excel calculations

[lucid echo]

A lot of data science jobs are shit like ETF where you're just aggregating multiple shady data sources into a reliable known-good source

[sonic barn]

[fluid ridge]

ah so you aren't pumping billions of clusters into simulations

[lucid echo]

That's the glamorous side of DS. Most positions are not that.

[fluid ridge]

my life has been a lie

[lucid echo]

My first gig was taking an assortment of shitty excel files & formulae from an insurance company and converting it into a Postgres database with functions & triggers for the data, and python scripts to spit that out into automated charts/reports (something that an employee had done manually before). That's also data science, just not as exciting.

[fluid ridge]

fun

[lucid echo]

super

[lucid echo]

Don't get too hype, it's exhausting and emotionally draining

[hearty spear]

very few programming or data science jobs are "exciting"

also realize that if you go into programming to work on games or something? You'll be subjected to hell month regularly, where you're working 80+ hour weeks on the same salary.

[sonic barn]

yeah someone I'm friends with on steam works with a bank doing that and said that if you go to any other firm it sucks and you're overworked

but he said banks are chill with pay and hours

The specific banks/locations he worked at are that way, not all banks.

[agile jetty]

Bro just get 100 1TB M.2 ssds

[dense bone]

Yo is using an ssd that's not listed as compatible with a motherboard bad??

What happens?

Any1?\

[regal musk]

Assuming you're using an NVME SSD: Compatibility should only come down to physical size, and PCI-E version. If your motherboard's NVME slot is covered by a heat sink or plastic shroud, you may not be able to use an SSD with a big heat sink. Also it's possible that too long of an SSD might not fit without bumping into something.

As far as PCI-E version, the worst that can happen is you don't use your SSD's full potential. e.g. If you have a PCI-E Gen 4 SSD but your motherboard only supports Gen 3, it'll run at Gen 3 speeds.

[olive hearth]

My wifi is slower on my new pc then my old one, odd

[dense bone]

Bro than the MSI support person I just talked to is bullshitting me. My custom built computer has been having constant bsods for the past few months. I've tried many fixes like resetting my PC with a clean install, formatting my ssd, scanning my ssd, and uninstalling certain software but none of it has worked. I contacted Windows Support about this and they think it is a hardware issue with maybe the SSD or RAM. They told me to contact my motherboard manufacturer because they have the tools to actually diagnose the problem on a hardware level. Then the freaking MSI guy just told me my ssd wasn't on the compatibility list on the mobo website even though different sizes of that exact same ssd actually were supported

And he literally ended the conversation after I asked him if my only solution was just to buy a new ssd

[regal musk]

Yeesh. Yeah unless the SSD is actually faulty in some way, it shouldn't be causing BSoDs.

[dense bone]

It's so frustrating. Today is honestly one of the first days I've had for BSODS. I had 5 within the span of 2 hours my guy. 5!!!!

[olive hearth]

i think it may be the new board, idk.

[regal musk]

Though it is possible, but honestly I'd suspect the RAM first.

Have you gone through the troubleshooting steps of running with a single stick for a while, and then the other, to see if one of them is the culprit (assuming you have more than one stick)

[dense bone]

And the support ticket I made on Friday got a response of "lol just get it RMAd" on my mobo that's 2 years old. It was probably from a bot too

[dense bone]

No I have not.

Should I just pull one out rn .___.

I should probably turn off my pc

[regal musk]

Yeah, or alternatively you can test the RAM with software. Haven't used MemTest86 in ages, but I remember it saving me headaches years ago when I was dealing with dodgy RAM. It does require making a bootable USB stick though. https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm

[dense bone]

Will that fix problems or just diagnose?

Also, am I supposed to have 0 errors?

[regal musk]

Just diagnose. And yes, you should have zero errors. A single error means that stick of RAM is bad.

[knotty meteor]

Hello anyone know anything about computers I'm building a computer rn and I don't know what plug goes into what into the motherboard dm me

[vapid smelt]

Check your user manual

[devout tulip]

Do I need built in WiFi on my motherboard to connect to WiFi without Ethernet?

Sorry if it’s a dumb question idk about pcs

[vapid smelt]

You can buy cheap USB or pcie wifi adapters

[regal musk]

If you're trying to connect to wifi you either need it built into your motherboard, or you need an addon card - Either in the form of a PCI-E card, or a USB stick.

[devout tulip]

Where can I buy the usb from?

[dense bone]

Yep. Unless you get a cheap USB add-on

[regal musk]

Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, all the regular electronics retailers.

My question is: Are you using wifi as your primary connection, or do you want wifi for short term and/or emergencies?

[vapid smelt]

Hell you can use your phone too plug it in the PC

Gotcha. You'll want to spend a bit more on your wifi adapter then - Look for a Wifi 6 (also known as 802.11ax) USB stick, which is the latest iteration of wifi.

(of course, obligatory mention that ethernet is always strongly preferred over wifi)

[night heron]

don’t get a usb dongle

[vapid smelt]

If it's stupid cheap sure

[night heron]

look for a pcie card that uses the intel ax210 chipset

it’s the latest intel wifi nic and is only like $35

wifi 6e multi gig

[devout tulip]

Would the 802.11ac be fine ?

[soft swan]

I mean it’s like 290-300 ish I’m thinking about it cause z690 monos are too expensive and 12gen i7 is like over 400

[dense bone]

Bro I'm 66% done with the ram test and there have been no errors.... I swear on god bro

[full fossil]

Is there a way to control case fans speeds with the gpu temp?

[night heron]

12600k embarrasses anything 11th gen for $250

[dense bone]

For once I hope there's an error with my PC!!

[night heron]

in single and multi core

[full fossil]

And no

[night heron]

it has more cores and substantially faster cores at that

for less $

[soft swan]

Wait why not

[dense bone]

Compared to what? If your only 1 gen behind then no. But if you're a few behind than just get the latest gen

[night heron]

refer to my above comments

[vapid smelt]

12700f is $312 and a good z690 is $150

[soft swan]

I’m on a really old cpu like i5 1.8ghz so

[night heron]

what gpu do you plan on buying

[soft swan]

Rtx 3070 prolly

[night heron]

get the i5 12400f

[dense bone]

Sheeeeeeesh

[full fossil]

Bad price to performance compared fo 12600/12700 k

[soft swan]

Yeah it’s just I think it’s gonna last longer cause more cores

[full fossil]

Well, it doesnt work like that

[night heron]

it’s not more cores

the 11700k is 8 cores, the 12600k is 10 cores

[full fossil]

Yea, its another positive to buying the latest gen

[soft swan]

Yeah but some of them are efficiency cores

[full fossil]

On a 12700k you get 12 cores, compared to 8 on the 11700k

[soft swan]

Yeah I know it’s better but for 400 ish it’s expensive

[full fossil]

And you still get 8 performance cores just like on the 11700k, but this time they are way better

[soft swan]

On 12700k?

[night heron]

doesn’t matter

the 12600k beats the i9 11900k in productivity

[full fossil]

Than. Why. Are. You. Even. Asking. When. You. Already. Made. A decision.

[night heron]

it has more cores and is noticeably faster in both gaming and productivity

the performance increase from 11th to 12th gen is big

[full fossil]

Yes? Do you expect newer cpus to have weaker p cores?

[soft swan]

Nah I haven’t just thinking which is more worth buying 11700k or 12600k or maybe if there’s some cheaper 12700ks

[full fossil]

*even on linux that officially doesnt support big-little

[vapid smelt]

The 4 core i3 12100f beats a 8 core r7 3700x

[full fossil]

Lol

[soft swan]

Lol that’s surprising but u could run a 3080 on a 3700x can u run on on an i3

[vapid smelt]

At 1080p which is more cpu bound too

[full fossil]

Depends where you live, here in poland there is so much hype around the 12600k, that the 12700k goes for less

[soft swan]

Uk

[full fossil]

Yea, u not gettin that

[soft swan]

It’s 430 for it

[full fossil]

F

[vapid smelt]

In the test above it's using a faster rx 6900xt so yes a 3080 would work

[soft swan]

But 270 for the i5

[soft swan]

Pog

[full fossil]

An i7 from outlet (like bought and then returned and its sold again) costs 230$ here

[soft swan]

Wait 12 gen? Nice

[vapid smelt]

We call that open boxed

[full fossil]

Less than a 280$ i5

[north wraith]

ok boys and girls I'm gonna put down a reserve for a steam deck! should I go all in with the top end model or try the middle tier one

[full fossil]

Yea, 12 cores for under 250$

[full fossil]

The top one is just way better, but depends on the price

[night heron]

i would get the mid tier model because it doesn’t have the anti glare glass

matte coatings are the devil

[north wraith]

yeah I have heard weird things about that glass

very polarizing if you pardon the pun

[full fossil]

Well, i heard that its cheaper to get the mid version and replace the screen yourself for a mate one

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4PG9Kp $442 cpu and mbo but since more cores is not more better for gaming you could get a i5 12400f and mbo for https://pcpartpicker.com/list/63vxfv $280 @soft swan

[north wraith]

do you guys think that the type will influance shipping out date

[night heron]

putting a matte coating on a handheld touch screen doesn’t make any sense to me

[full fossil]

Btw

[night heron]

it’ll feel gross to touch and have worse clarity and contrast

[fathom pebble]

yeah id probably get the mid tier and if the screen really really bothers you but a replacement anti glare one

[north wraith]

or get a screen protector

[soft swan]

Hmm that’s ok ig but wouldn’t 12600k or 12700 be better with 3070

[hollow zealot]

Technically no

6-8 cores is perfectly fine for gaming

[night heron]

if all else is equal excluding storage why not get the base model and put your own ssd in it

[full fossil]

Btw about the 12700k, if you are getting it, look up the msi pro z690a ddr4, fine mb

[soft swan]

Yh ig but u know smthn that’s last a while

[night heron]

12400f with a 6900xt is a much better pairing than a 12700f and 3070

[north wraith]

so the low end one can have a "faster hard drive"

[soft swan]

I will thank u

[night heron]

by the time you want to upgrade gpus even the i3 of the new generation will embarrass the 12700f in gaming

buy a cpu that matches a gpu that’s out now don’t overbuy cpus

[full fossil]

Btw all radeons are way better value compared to rtx cards now

[night heron]

yah they have been

[soft swan]

I know but this channel called byte size tech or smthn said buy i7

[hot bough]

Hey is this a good channel to ask about recommendations for an SSD? Just looking for a solid (reliable over raw performance) NVMe M.2 1TB SSD.

[night heron]

you can get a 6900xt for low $700s new on newegg daily deals

[hollow zealot]

More cores won't necessarily future proof

[hot bough]

Feel free to yell at me if this is the wrong spot lmao

[vapid smelt]

Imo get a i5 12400f and if down the line it's not enough get a upcoming i7 13700

[soft swan]

The Msi pro mobo is good but no io shield installed

[vapid smelt]

6 seconds to install it

[hollow zealot]

^

[soft swan]

Yeah but I can cut myself on it by accident on that plus for that money better preindtalled

[vapid smelt]

Fx 8350 has entered the chat

[hollow zealot]

I have msi pro z690p

[north wraith]

so the low end steam deck is still good and upgrade-able

[vapid smelt]

Yup all are

[north wraith]

I mean they were saying running games off the mico sd was do able

[full fossil]

Yea, but a 6700xt, a 3070 eq costs 400$ now while a 3070 costs 500$

[vapid smelt]

6700xt slightly slower then a 3070 but the 6750xt matches or beats the 3070

[full fossil]

Like ok, but its a diffrent board

[soft swan]

There was an aorus z690 on prime day for 199

[vapid smelt]

Unless you're made of marshmallow fluff you'll be fine

[soft swan]

Yeah lol

[north wraith]

ok its in hopefully I still think this is a good idea come october

[full fossil]

Seriously? You cant pop in a shield? You will be better off having someone building the pc for you than buying a 400$ mb

[north wraith]

I had an earlier spot but the news about the fan noise gave me cold feet lol

[soft swan]

It’s just kinda outdated I know how to build one lol

[north wraith]

thanks for the advice yall

[soft swan]

Heard it in an ltt video

[full fossil]

Yea, and i once have seen a bird fall out of the sky, like ok, it was like that, but it isnt anymore

[frosty osprey]

A reminder that latest NVIDIA GeForce Experience is no longer support any OS below Win10. In that case, here's a guide to download older version via official website (Still viable)
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-experience/14/286013/download-old-versions-of-geforce-experience/?topicPage=1&commentPage=2

Use this 3rd party website as reference to adknowledge specific GeForce older versions, but do NOT download it from there (do it at your own risk if you do so!) https://www.filehorse.com/download-nvidia-geforce-experience/old-versions/

[full fossil]

Whats outdated? Shields?

[soft swan]

Yeah

[full fossil]

Who told you that?

[soft swan]

Ltt video

I think

[full fossil]

Built ins are nice additions like toolless m.2 instalation, but its not worth even another 20$

[soft swan]

Yeah fair enough h670 mobos are good as well I think

[full fossil]

Its nice to have them, but its not something that should guide you while you pick a board

[full fossil]

Noooo

[soft swan]

Why not

[full fossil]

You cant oc on them, they are just b660 with more lanes asigned to the chipset

[soft swan]

I thought u could they don’t even sell them that much for 6 series tho

Nvm u can’t but how come they don’t sell them anymore

[full fossil]

Yea, noone is buying them, so nobody is making them, making the price rise just above the cheaper z690 boards

[soft swan]

There were like z370s but I think that’s an older gen of those

[full fossil]

Here h670 costs just the same as z690

[full fossil]

And the ability to oc is somethig that should guide you while you pick a board

Savvy?

[soft swan]

Yeah I would want that

[full fossil]

So thread closed, buy 12th gen with a cheap z690 and with that you will be better of than with 11th gen

[soft swan]

I’m not that savvy on pcs haven’t built one yet but I know a bit about em

[full fossil]

No, likw this:

https://tenor.com/view/jack-sparrow-savvy-agreed-gif-18537282

[soft swan]

Oh lol

[soft swan]

Yeah plus u can prolly upgrade later on z690

[vapid smelt]

Not many great h670 boards too

[pliant karma]

0 if mobo has it hehehe or be panda and rock without it

[full fossil]

Yea, to a 13th gen or an used 12900k, thats not what you will get out off lga 1200

[soft swan]

Mhm that’s why I didn’t go with Ryzen

[full fossil]

Yea, they look like manufactures just pushed them out cuz intel wanted that

O yea, thats exactly what happened

[vapid smelt]

Most of the ones for sale lack vrm heatsinks

[full fossil]

Amd said that ryzen 6 apus would have an apperance on am4, but not much more

[vapid smelt]

Ryzens with apus are slower then the same generation cpus like the r5 5600g is slower then a r5 5600

[full fossil]

Yea, look at tech chat 2, i will post 2 screenshots there

[soft swan]

Yeah dunno if they’re gonna keep am4 or maybe bring in a new socket they did release 5800x3d so might keep am4

[kindred skiff]

they're bringing the new socket

[soft swan]

What do u look for when choosing a mobo btw

[full fossil]

#tech-chat-2 no heatsinks for you, buyers

[full fossil]

First chipset, second ports, third cooling, than brand (go to hell gigabyte), after that io ports and finally looks and optional features

Like usb fast charging

Like, you dont need it, you have a charger, but just that one time you might get too lazy...

[soft swan]

So I’m a bit confused for cooling

[kindred skiff]

i always use my charger for charging my stuff, it tends to be plugged on an outlet i turn on when needed

which is a faster charger than the mobo's so.. yeah

[soft swan]

Brand I’m not sure msi are good ig

[kindred skiff]

yeah, MSI's good

[full fossil]

Msi is not good? Than whats better

They are on the top

[soft swan]

Yh so about cooling what is there to know

[full fossil]

If the heatsink is made of metal, than it will be fine

The ssd coolers might be bigger, but you dont need to watercool your vrms

[kindred skiff]

not always, some heatsinks are still garbage, like on the X570 chipset biostar had some like that

[soft swan]

Ok fair enough are there any good priced msi Gpus as well like 3070

[kindred skiff]

the design didn't exactly pave way towards fan airflow

yeah, some MSI cards are good but like

[full fossil]

And especially chipsets, they dont need fans, they consume 6 wats

[kindred skiff]

on the AMD side there are better options such as red devil.

X570 can get toasty without a fan tho, if you don't have a good sink

[soft swan]

Yeah the gaming x and z are aight tho

[kindred skiff]

it still survives somehow, on the other hand, for the most part.

[full fossil]

No, msi (other than their ventus lineup) is mostly making cards for bigger bugets

[soft swan]

So what would u recommend

I saw a gigabyte gaming one

[full fossil]

Asus cards are nice, msi is expensove, gigabyte exept aorus sucks and all the smaller brands (powercolor, gainward, xfx, zotac, sapphire, kfa2)

[kindred skiff]

i recommend a glorious galax HOF card of all the white excessive PCB goodness 😎

that price tho.. lol

[full fossil]

Are decent in price to performance

[unkempt shore]

Every video of Linus, the transition to the sponsor is always the best, and kinda funny.

[soft swan]

Yeah Asus are nice, nvidia doesn’t really do xfx and sapphire tho

[full fossil]

Just look for big heatsinks if you buy these

[unkempt shore]

You know what else is the best?

GlassWire

[kindred skiff]

XFX was actually originally an nvidia brand.

[full fossil]

Im talking about gpus in general

[soft swan]

Oh oke

[full fossil]

Cuz amd is still better in price to performance

[soft swan]

Yh

[kindred skiff]

sapphire made some nvidia cards as well, through OEM channels and their sister brand zotac

[full fossil]

A 6700xt outperforms a 3060ti by a lot and is barely even more expensive

[kindred skiff]

actually it's cheaper in various cases

[soft swan]

But would u say 16gb ram is enough or should I go with 32gig

[full fossil]

Are they doing the dell ones or is dell doing these

[kindred skiff]

yeah, it's the prebuilt stuff from couple years back

[rugged bridge]

16gb should be enouh

[kindred skiff]

16 is fine for most stuff, but there are times 32 can be fruitful

[full fossil]

Unless you are going to host a game server on your pc, go with 16gb, much more affordable

[kindred skiff]

i know WZ / MSFS go harsh by consuming 10gb easy

[rugged bridge]

i would get 32gb tho cause my system uses 7gb ram at idle

[soft swan]

Might be using it for streaming on medal

[kindred skiff]

though some 32 kits are cheap and not too bad

[rugged bridge]

yea i can get ddr4 3200Mhz 32gb kit for like $150 AUD

[kindred skiff]

ya, if you're running alder lake for gear 1 faster speeds ain't exactly a necessity anyway

[unkempt shore]

It's mostly SVCHOST.EXE

[vapid smelt]

I'm running 3800mhz cl 16 32gbs

[unkempt shore]

or some background intelligence crap

[soft swan]

Is Corsair vengeance ram good

[kindred skiff]

mostly no 🙂

[unkempt shore]

mostly no.

[vapid smelt]

Avoid Corsair ram

[rugged bridge]

i approve

[soft swan]

Why

[full fossil]

Average

[full fossil]

Not like that dude, too hard dude

[soft swan]

What’s a good ram brand then

[unkempt shore]

Unsure
Depends on what you're using them for

[kindred skiff]

used to be below average during early days of zen, caused compatibility issues, now somewhat closer to average maybe tops..

[full fossil]

Well, unless you go amd, any ram from a brand you that know that exists will be fine

[unkempt shore]

But this conversation should go into #build-a-pc

[vapid smelt]

They have/had problems reaching advertised speeds in some kits, normally cost more than other brands with the same specs, and some other things I can't recall

[rugged bridge]

Thecoopatroopa you should def accept my friend req 💯

[full fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/snoop-dogg-rapper-raper-angry-anger-gif-17002797

[unkempt shore]

It got blocked

[kindred skiff]

you should deny his friend request i mean, 0️⃣ 😄

[full fossil]

Yea i know?

[soft swan]

Ok yh I’ve heard that I think crucial are better

[full fossil]

He didnt send me one

[kindred skiff]

heh 🙃

crucial's cheaper stuff tend to be fine too

[soft swan]

Yeah that or team group

[full fossil]

If you have heard of a brand that makes ram, that it will be ok

All of the chips are still manufactured in the same fabs of samsung or micron

[soft swan]

I only know crucial, Corsair and team group and this one called oloy or smthn

[kindred skiff]

or hynix in the case of vengeance, hynix isn't as sucky on DDR5 tho

oloy is one of those brands that can be a crapshoot

[fathom pebble]

hynix is generally the best ddr5 manufacturer so far

[kindred skiff]

along with neoforza, i have of their kits, supposed uh.. what was it called, some hynix higher grade die

barely does CL22 at 3600

[soft swan]

Hyper x are good as well

[vapid smelt]

Oloy dose have Samsung B die kits

[kindred skiff]

yeah, those are always good

i had some trident-Z that were CL17 at 3600, did 3800 at CL17 and CL15 at 3600 no issues

[vapid smelt]

Oloy backwards is yolo

[kindred skiff]

b-die tends to scale very well

good catch, lol

[full fossil]

No, like the chips on the modules, they are all manufactured by samsung, micron hynix or nanya, and than sold to the manucactures of sticks that put them on pcbs and sell them to the consumers

[kindred skiff]

some of them are in-house, like in the case of crucial. samsung also made green sticks that had a popularity during DDR3

[soft swan]

Ooh I didn’t know that I also heard they bin them according to cl and freqs

[kindred skiff]

yeah, like there are better b-die and worse ones

[full fossil]

As always

[vapid smelt]

Lower cl the better

[kindred skiff]

though b-die is still good in nearly all cases

[soft swan]

Apparently u can oc 3200mhz to 3600

[kindred skiff]

it has great compatibility which is its strong point

[vapid smelt]

I'm running 3000 kit at 3800

[kindred skiff]

8g sticks, on the other hand, mostly so meh for me. i shoot for 32 kits now.

[soft swan]

How do u do it tho

[full fossil]

Btw if you buy 12th gen, dont buy memory above 3200mhz

[vapid smelt]

Get micron E die ram

[full fossil]

Its not worth that, and the cpu doesnt support it without oc

[soft swan]

I see but y

[full fossil]

Y

[soft swan]

Yeah I shortened it lol

[kindred skiff]

my 12400 does 3600 at gear 1, but beyond is a no go, i have to call to gear 2 and performance worsens

[full fossil]

y

[kindred skiff]

3200 is mostly fine for them

[full fossil]

Y

[soft swan]

Yh should be good not much dif

[full fossil]

Yea, only diffrence i see is in price

[vapid smelt]

Seems to be fine on b660 mbo

[soft swan]

So we got that covered about cases what are some good airflow atx ones

[full fossil]

Yea, but just why

The only diffrence is to your wallet

[kindred skiff]

P360 / P400 from phanteks obviously

[full fossil]

Open bench

And spc ones

[kindred skiff]

open bench is fine for testing but on the long run it'll be a dust nightmare

[full fossil]

Not for me

I have open wibdows at all time and so my pc is not getting dusty

[vapid smelt]

Can't do open bench do you cats

[full fossil]

I have it in a carbord box

[kindred skiff]

catboard box 🙂

[vapid smelt]

That's a cat magnet

[soft swan]

Yeah so not open bench for me either

[vapid smelt]

What's your case budget

[full fossil]

Get a corsair case if you have some money, and if you dont get one from spc, and if you really dont have money, to to aliexpress

[soft swan]

Prolly looking to spend 50- 100 max

[agile jetty]

What about DDR5 8000MHz

Big old and answered but confusing question
Why is DRAM faster than our cpu

[kindred skiff]

RAM doesn't heat up anywhere as much as CPU, there are other reasons as well

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YCH8TW/lian-li-lancool-215-atx-mid-tower-case-lancool-215-black

[agile jetty]

One day we will move away from silicon chips..

[agile jetty]

No mesh panel. Bad airfloe

[soft swan]

Pretty aight

[kindred skiff]

i'm digging the lancool 3 quite a bit, but it's full ATX / $150

[agile jetty]

@soft swan bad airflow
Get a 4000D airflow or a corsair spec delta

[soft swan]

3 front fans case are pog

[vapid smelt]

Are you wearing your glasses?

[agile jetty]

Yes I am

[soft swan]

Sure as long as it’s not the one with the 3 red fans I forgot what it was called

[agile jetty]

Spec Delta RGB, those colors change.

[soft swan]

Oh oke then

[agile jetty]

ima be honest I hate lian li

[kindred skiff]

i'd prolly get a phanteks over spec delta tho, but 4000D is good

[vapid smelt]

https://youtu.be/un82B93xKOE

[full fossil]

Noy lian li no god

[agile jetty]

Also if you're really like me the case fits a 3090 Ti FE

[kindred skiff]

lian li great, i like my PC-011 air

[soft swan]

I’m prolly getting like a 3070

But good to have the room

[agile jetty]

Founders edition? Those have best airflow and powerdraw

[soft swan]

Maybe the gigabyte gaming the 3 fan one

[kindred skiff]

3070 FE is a harder find than AIB now

but get an AMD card 🙂

[full fossil]

https://www.amazon.pl/Obudowa-SilentiumPC-VT4V-ARGB-Ventum/dp/B08X1ZK9T6/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?crid=1U65SBWASK4FN&keywords=silentiumpc+ventum+vt4&qid=1658968370&sprefix=silentiumpc+ventum+vt4%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-8 i have a version in white if you want it like that

[soft swan]

Yeah plus fe is 12 degrees warmer apparently than aib

[agile jetty]

I found a 6700XT Founder amd card

[agile jetty]

That's what we call a fat cap

[vapid smelt]

Do you hate Lian li and don't value money 🤔

[soft swan]

Oke thank u

[harsh lodge]

can someone help me with a technical issue that has been bugging me for the past week?\

[agile jetty]

No, I'm an overkill user.

[agile jetty]

Sure

[kindred skiff]

then lian-li would suit your needs actually..

[soft swan]

Yh look up 3070 gigabyte vs fe there’s a video

[agile jetty]

I'm talking about 3080+

[kindred skiff]

don't those have different designs like.. so different point really

[soft swan]

Oh oke the channel is called techtesters btw

[vapid smelt]

Fe cards normally have worse cooling then the board partners cards

[full fossil]

https://www.amazon.pl/Silentium-SPC248-Obudowa-Komputerowa-Czarny/dp/B08XNL4L28/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?crid=3GQUDYBO1EJHQ&keywords=silentiumpc&qid=1658968652&rnid=20876086031&s=computers&sprefix=silentiumpc%2Caps%2C128&sr=1-17
If you really want some airflow with no compromises

[agile jetty]

also if I'm spending 320 USD on a motherboard fo u think I care about the case

[full fossil]

Well, thats a lot for an mb, since you make such a bad decision, you might just want a lian li case to fit in with bad oc decisions

[dense bone]

@neon mesa Yo the memory test has been running for an hour and a half and I still don't have any errors

[full fossil]

And maybe a custom loop with a single 240mil

And a lot of rgb

Like a lot of very flashy rgb

And some lian li unifans to top it all of, for an amazing price of a kidney per 4 pack

[kindred skiff]

don't forget about the pink coolant 🙃

[full fossil]

And a an old i9 paired with a 3070 cuz most of the buget went for the visuals and rgb ram

And thats how they build pcs on chinese pc buildig channels

ITX adds a lot of cost. It's cool, but ... oof

[pliant karma]

yes money go bye bye, but for college dorm pc it's not a bad tradeoff

[manic torrent]

oh yeah - although I think egpu is better value for money than itx.

[pliant karma]

I see yea I am considering an M1 or M2 or whatever macbook pro apple has when my xps 15 has another problem so egpu is uhh not supported just yet

I just replaced the entire palmrest which fixed my jittery trackpad

custom loop needs 2x360

@regal musk ... I went through 3 hours of error checking and not being able to use my PC.... just to be told there were absolutely no errors with my RAM .___. My brain is fucking fried

3 hours later and I still do not know what the fuck is wrong with my computer :(

[regal musk]

Ah. welp, that's unfortunate, but at least that's one possibility eliminated.

[dense bone]

I guess

I'm 99% sure it's not my ssd either because I literally formatted it and fresh installed windows on it

SO I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what the HELL is wrong with my computer

I have been having this problem since before Windows 11 came out bro 💀 I remember because I tried solving it by clean installing Windows 11 when it came out

That was like 8 months ago

[deft lake]

can somoene help me with my ram

[vapid smelt]

But 420 rads exist

And some girls bday number

[velvet marsh]

My loop has 2x360

[pliant karma]

now water cool 2 3090s jk

[coarse kayak]

I guess justification is if you use it in scenario where you'd use a desktop replacement laptop (portable and carried between places but used plugged in at desk) it's usually much better value than those

I think ITX is less painful price for AMD stuff cause the lower power for the gaming chips they have means easier to make the boards

[urban thistle]

My phone fell on my eye

[coarse kayak]

lol

[pliant karma]

hmm we'll see with am5 since I am doing that to maintain the same mounting I already have with my EK basic 240

Almost exactly a year ago, LTT did a review of Framework laptops

Do Framework laptops still hold up?

My gaming buddy bought a pre built an got a crupted win 11 install an no other computer besides his broken lap top an horid net cant get win 10 download fast enough so swapping harddive from laptop

[ocean pawn]

I think he has a professional email

Somewhere on his website or the company

[olive hearth]

Is this the offical LTT or a fan one lol

[sonic barn]

What's an LTT

[manic torrent]

it's just pretend

[sonic barn]

Isn't this the Nvidia discord under a long April fool's joke

[manic torrent]

it's the artesian builds discord

[stuck jacinth]

no its ncix discord guys

[sonic barn]

RTX 4000

I can actually see that being a thing

[full fossil]

How good is an rtx 3060 130w in a laptop

[sonic barn]

Worse than a desktop variant

[full fossil]

How worse

[sonic barn]

In terms of limitations to wattage, thermals and frequency it's not gonna be better

You could build a pc then get a cheap laptop and remote in if you got good internet

Easily upgradable since it's only a desktop part upgrade rather than the full system

[north wraith]

Hey just to follow up the mid range deck seems to be more instock so I decided to go for that one. Plus I don’t HAVE to open it up as soon as it gets here to give it a proper ssd

[full fossil]

So is the laptop going to have worse overall performance than a regular 3060

In fps in gaming i mean

[sonic barn]

Funny thing about steam is CSGO cases went up in price

Easy, you go to a store with keyboards on display, you try them and see what you like. I lean towards mech but i perfer that

I don't offer anything beyond for friends... "try and find logitech, they last" they want basics 🙂

G213 prodigy only 213 usd

[random lion]

Really? i paid $110 NZD for mine

[amber shuttle]

PBTech being a real chap here

[amber shuttle]

fun fact Logitech released a new G713, which is a wired G915 with G915 keycaps and TKL profile

[random lion]

Yes, i may or may not have brought it during a sale..... xD i may or may not be a regular customer.... my whole setup may or may not be 90% from them.... xD

[amber shuttle]

same here

my iMac, keyboard, mouse, mousepad all from them

[random lion]

only the speakers and monitor from other places

[amber shuttle]

even my headset (which I will change eventually because audiophiles say hard no)

[random lion]

even my phone and watch xD

[amber shuttle]

the good thing about PBTech in NZ here, great quality control

[random lion]

whats wrong with your headset, if you like it keep it

[amber shuttle]

for the most part* I know Obolon Prime ran into some stock issues

[random lion]

Yep, and they take care of returns easily

[amber shuttle]

Logitech Pro X headset, rip build quality overtime and the number of times it's been mentioned in tech support

I just think I got lucky from PBTech's excellent handling

[random lion]

O that one, i just use sennhesier for all my head gear

i noticed their speakers arent what they used to be

[amber shuttle]

fyi, EPOS broke free as a subbrand of Sennheiser, they've now become independent and created their own mic and headset range :p

[random lion]

Yes i know, but all mine at the moment is before that.

[amber shuttle]

but I go on U-Buy (NZ retailer sourcing stuff all over the world), its ~$400 for their flagship EPOS H6 Pros 😭

[random lion]

or are still very excellent

[agile jetty]

Ncix tech tips

[amber shuttle]

mhm

Worst thing, or best that can happen is when an audiophile company makes a headset for gaming... then proceeds to market and profit off sales of it ;-;

[random lion]

and my current bluetooth walkarounds, the M2 IE Free, are really legit, over two years old, still working in both buds, never had that be a thing. Usually i get maybe a year

[amber shuttle]

It was great when it came to stuff like the Drop Sennheiser (partnership between two companies) PC38X released, but no no for the Beyerdynamic MMX range

[random lion]

Yeah i missed out on that drop

[amber shuttle]

oh wow

[agile jetty]

The thrill is backk

I used jerryrigs knife 🔪 from lttstore to cut open qn LTT package

Another deskpad ANOTHER DESKPAD

[amber shuttle]

tl;dr for the beyerdynamics; attempted a "change" using beryllium drivers (and ended up with a huge lack in bass), earcups are designed for dwarves

bringing PCs to uni 💀

[agile jetty]

Eh I personally like techsource deskpads better but I'm an LTT Stan sooo

[amber shuttle]

though I assume at that point you'd have monitors ready on campus

[random lion]

Yo dude, i hear you like mouse pads, so i put a mouse pad in another mouse pad in another mouse pad

[agile jetty]

My parents think I'm not capable of building a pc
Yall think the monitor is the pc whule asking me to open chrome

I'm sorry do you see that massive tower sitting next to the monitor
Or the chrome logo in front of you

[amber shuttle]

must be the power supply

EXACTLY what my parents think all the time 🤣

[sharp bobcat]

🤝

with no power brick?

[random lion]

who needs a power brick not like mine is the size of my phone

[amber shuttle]

you sure they'll allow ethernet?

I mean ig its fine if wifi is different for each room

[gentle fox]

Guys do I get this one

Or this one

The apple one has a noticable amount of bad reviews tho

[amber shuttle]

Well for every classroom in my school, there are up to 10 ethernet ports lying around and connecting to them is the easy route to getting expelled

or wait for framework to release theirs

if you don't mind a chungus sticking out since you can't slot in the expansion card

but I would think QC is better their side

[gentle fox]

I checked reviews it looks a bit negative plus I am not a apple user so I thought maybe it's optimized for apple phones

Okay will see

Thoughts on this chair ?

I was getting a gaming chair but someone here told me to get a office chair because morr comfortable

[sharp bobcat]

my kpx arrived lets goooooo

[gentle fox]

What's a kpx

[sharp bobcat]

thermal paste

[gentle fox]

Uhh

Never thought thermal paste is that exciting

I got some Chinese brand and use it for life now

[sharp bobcat]

not for a guy who have a laptop that has the thermal paste never been replaced for probably 5 years

[sharp bobcat]

also why

[crystal eagle]

ye

[gentle fox]

First time applying paste by ur self as well ?

Okay no one uses threads

Oh forums hm

Btw how much would a gtx 1050 ti sell for

[sharp bobcat]

of course nah

but first time having a kpx lol

[gentle fox]

Oh cool

[night heron]

$100-120

(usd)

[gentle fox]

That's a bit expensive

[night heron]

yah i wouldn’t buy one at that price

[tired glade]

75-100 its 5 year old gpu after all

[night heron]

that’s what i paid for my 1050 ti in early 2017

[feral citrus]

what about an 750ti with USD

[gentle fox]

Bro should be 50 dollars now

[night heron]

agreed

[tired glade]

Below 50

[gentle fox]

Hey I have that as well

I got it for my brother

[tired glade]

And depends on region too

[feral citrus]

Same its my brothers and he probarly want to swap it out

[gentle fox]

What cpu?

It could bottle neck if u get something stronger

[feral citrus]

I think he has an i5-4590

He would want to upgrade that too, but i already have a plan

[kindred skiff]

evolve servers are back, i get shreked when i play monster tho.. usually get good players now against me

seems like the skill notch of the game upped since it's mostly the fans that came back to playing it

Guys I'm searching for a extremely good budget 1080 p over or 75 hz gaming monitor around 80 dollars anyone ?

[kindred skiff]

the car thread is pretty spammy, AFAIK somebody had like 2k posts just in that thread

then they deleted that account and it broke that thread

[full fossil]

get a 60hz one and OC it

[kindred skiff]

better off saving up for a 144, w/ freesync obvs

[meager fog]

hi guys, i have a ryzen 5 5600x and got it for 279.99 CAD, it is paired with an rtx 2060 super. i play games in 1080/144 and stream in 1080p as well. Right now the ryzen 7 5800x is going on sale for 339.99 CAD, would the 5800x be a huge upgrade over the 5600x when it comes to streaming, or should i stick with the 5600x

[kindred skiff]

no, use the NVENC for streams, keep CPU for other stuff.

[regal musk]

It has a couple more cores and a veeeery slightly faster base clock, so you might notice a bit of improvment though. I'm curious though, do you know if OBS is set to use a software encoder, or set to use NVENC?

NVENC makes your GPU handle video encoding, which is the intensive part of streaming.

[meager fog]

Currently I have it sent to NVENC, but I just wasn't sure if the extra 2 cores would really do anything, it just seemed enticing at a 60$ difference

[meager fog]

Thank you

[regal musk]

For gaming and NVENC streaming? Probably not a whole lot tbh.

[fossil frost]

if you do anything at all other than gaming, any work, programming, anything else at all... then the 5800x is worth it, if you just game, its not worth it

[meager fog]

I only game and stream nothing else

[fossil frost]

its not worth it then

[meager fog]

Alrighty, I appreciate it I'll save up for a better GPU and hopefully a 1440/144 monitor down the road

Thank you all so much!

[regal musk]

I'm looking into 1440/144 monitors myself. I'm hoping to find something reasonably color accurate, but I know high refresh rate displays are kiiiinda focused on speed over colors, so idk.

[sudden crane]

Are any of you guys on T mobile?

[regal musk]

I'm on Mint, which runs off of T-mobile.

[sudden crane]

have you gotten any Emergency alerts this morning?

[regal musk]

Nope, but those tend to be localized.

[sudden crane]

A whole bunch of Tmobile, Reddit users across the U.S. have reported the same problem.

[meager fog]

I've heard the MSI Optix G273QF is quite decent for IPS

[regal musk]

Ooo. I'd be down with an IPS tbh, I'm just used to seeing high refresh rate monitors with TN panels.

[kindred skiff]

yeah the optix seems solid

[odd nebula]

^

[kindred skiff]

i think it does 170 with an OC or something

[regal musk]

To be honest literally anything will beat my current "monitor"

It's an LG HDTV from 2008. Some of the backlight elements are noticeably dimmed compared to others, the lag is so bad that I found out I stop sucking at Halo when I'm plugged into any other display, and I have no idea how my photo clients don't complain about the colors after I export their images lmao

oh yeah and a few columns of pixels like to sometimes die

I have been trying to install Windows 11 Insider Preview build 10.1.22622.439 for several months, but I have error 0x800f081f

Apart from clean installation, is there any other way to install this build?

I would like to confess, I am part of the blame of Xbox controller shortage

What VPN service sponsors LTT?

[ocean pawn]

Nord VPN ?

[surreal mica]

anyone got a new pixel 6a?

just had a talk with google

my unlocked phone cant unlock so this is fun

[ocean pawn]

Why lol

[terse folio]

Because Xbox controller is the best controller for PC

[regal musk]

I have a wired Xbox One controller gifted to me by a friend years ago. I'm... dubious of its origins

[terse folio]

I am very sure mine is black market item

Intended for different countries

[regal musk]

It has a super thick coiled wire and a cut metal thing attached to the controller. I'm 99% sure it was stolen from a display booth

[terse folio]

After all Xbox is not officially sold here

[devout tulip]

I have an Xbox one controller that goes for £170 now I don’t have the box anymore tho 🥲

Bought it for £50 like 2/3 years ago

[tired glade]

Lol

[full fossil]

I have an xbox without the box🥲

[kindred skiff]

yeah i threw the box as well i think, lol

oh.. you mean.. 😄

@gentle fox AOC G2 is good

[full fossil]

1. It doesnt need double 360's
2. It was a joke on how not to build pcs, look at my other messages, some of them sugested on getting lian li stuff and cheaping out on the cpu and gpu

[kindred skiff]

certainly not

i built a custom loop to cool a 7900X OC only, i was using an XTC 280 on that

which gave marvelous results

[thorny badge]

My discord doesnt show images anymore, just links that lead to the image l. Anyone know why?

[kindred skiff]

you might not have permissions on every part of each channel

[manic torrent]

Of course it doesn't. I was also being facetious. But more rads means quieter running.

[kindred skiff]

not necessarily

in my case, i was doing push pull with 280's and actually corsair fans i had down here

[full fossil]

Still demendent on the fans

[kindred skiff]

not even the best fans. it was quiet enough.

if you have high grade WC gear, it won't matter as much as you think it does

in fact, using a lot of rad makes you more restrictive and more pump head pressure power needed

so less rads have advantage as well

[sharp bobcat]

I don't have PS2 and I have the DS2. I still can use it on my PC with DS2 to USB adapter because why not

basically if you, for some reason, have a controller for a console that you don't have, it's still can be a Godsend

you can just find adapters for it to use on PC and remap it for playing something that are enjoyable with controller

[hoary grail]

where is the like "tech help" channel

[sharp bobcat]

if you can even remap a toaster with USB port to run as controller for doom you can use actual controller for a console that you don't have for some reason as something on your PC

[sharp bobcat]

#tech-support

[hoary grail]

another one

[sharp bobcat]

ummm that's all this server got

#tech-chat-2 #tech-chat-1 ?

it's pc hardware

i forgot which channel i was chatting to last hour

[sharp bobcat]
