they couldve called it titan heart

[delicate stirrup]

do any of yall actually need dp2.0 cuz 1.4 seems good enough

[full fossil]

me still using hdmi lol

[supple totem]

for the ultimate quest of having minecraft look realistic, pairing a 3090 and the new i9 intel announced to enable more shaders

than anyone has ever seen before

and have 8000X texture packs

[delicate stirrup]

intel actually have good pricing now

[valid siren]

Have for a while at the budget segment

[median idol]

NGL 13th gen looks pretty pog

[supple totem]

thenagain, im still using a 2080 super like a poor pleb

[valid siren]

AMD was completely uncompetitive this last generation for the sub-$150 market

[supple totem]

i deserve the worst :C

i need to upgrade soon tbh

i cant be using this 2080 super forever

[full fossil]

You're underestimating the 2080 you've got

There's still people using 1050's even, a ton of them

[remote whale]

2080 super is still fine. It's like 3060ti

[median idol]

2080 super is still fine in 2022. there are people still rocking pascal and 9 series

[delicate stirrup]

I mean is the 2080 super giving you problems

[supple totem]

dont remind me that its literally been degraded down to a 60ti series gpu already in just 2 years :/

[valid siren]

Is there anything that your 2080 super can't do that you want/need to do?
That's the approach you should be taking when you're considering dropping $1600 on a luxury item

[south stone]

Isn't the 2080 super just an overclocked 2060 super?

[valid siren]

Happened with Pascal as well. It's just that the uplift of the 20 series was a joke.

[valid siren]

Completely different GPU

[remote whale]

$1600 it's literally a good pc build...

[supple totem]

you guys are hurting my ego :/

stop it

[delicate stirrup]

actually depends on the workload, there's something about the TU104 die that makes it twice as fast in blender with everything else identical

[vapid smelt]

2080super was a weak 2080ti that didnt make the cut

[supple totem]

yeah i gotta have a high end computer, once my computer starts to feel not high end anymore i usually replace it

i dont like mid end, mid tier stuff

i dont like to feel mid :/

[delicate stirrup]

so if you guys upgrade do you sell the old stuff

[supple totem]

usually i just put it in my closet and end up throwing it away at some point

[vapid smelt]

i just throw my stuff in the trash

[remote whale]

Yall don't sell or give it to friends?

[supple totem]

dealing with randoms online in hopes to sell something worth like 200 dollars is such a pain in the ass

imagine being lowballed by 20 people where maybe 4 of them actually intend to buy it

over 200 dollars :/

[polar fern]

Man I’m becoming increasingly irritated by people.

[valid siren]

The super lineup was NVIDIA realizing that their lower end parts (2060 and 1650/1660 especially) weren't going to be very competitive compared to the AMD 5000 series, so they released the super line. Then they figured they should probably do something for the higher end too.

The 2080 was no longer manufactured after the 2080 super came out

or at least no more FE cards ig

Unless I'm misremembering

[supple totem]

honestly having the 4090 and then being able to turn settings to max and still have 400 fps sounds pretty chill

frankly i would approve of that purchase

[valid siren]

While for the 2060 and below the non-supers continued being produced at the same time.

[delicate stirrup]

2060 super was just a 2070

[remote whale]

It's better to have 4k 144hz monitor with that 4090.... Otherwise it's waste of money atm

[valid siren]

1660 super was nearly indistinguishable from a 1660ti, the 1650 super was really close to a 1660.

[polar fern]

Any fps over your monitor refresh rate is pointless.

[stray apex]

4090 can't push more than 4k120, apparently

[south stone]

But then you have 0.1% low users that go "but the 0.1% lows aren't 144hz"

Anyways, don't want to start a war. Any numbers about the 4090 mining?

[delicate stirrup]

mining is dead

[south stone]

Profits are, mining isn't 😛

[remote whale]

On some game. Most it can go over 120fps

[stray apex]

no
it cannot output more than 120fps at 4k

[remote whale]

The display?

[stray apex]

rtx 4090 only has displayport 1.4

so it physically cannot output more than 4k120 on a single cable

[valid siren]

probably pretty high, especially given how much you can limit power draw without substantial loss in performance.
Thing is, it's a $1600 card. Can't imagine ROI would be great

It'll be funny when less informed miners start using hot garbage power supplies on 4090s and wondering why their 22 gauge cables are melting

[polar fern]

Imagine exploding your electric bill to try and create imaginary tech bro currency

[delicate stirrup]

oh right I was gonna ask, is 650W power supply ok for 3090 + ryzen 2700X (105W)

[remote whale]

It can go over 4k 144hz with DSC unless you don't want DSC

[valid siren]

it has an HDMI 2.1 slot which can do 4k240

[vapid smelt]

1.4a*

[polar fern]

@delicate stirrup no

[delicate stirrup]

Do the 3090 power spike a lot

[vapid smelt]

all gpus do

[polar fern]

It’s not necessarily just the wattage of the power supply it’s the capacitor layout and quality

[valid siren]

A Corsair RM850X can handle a 3090ti. A Seasonic Prime TX-850 likely won't

[valid siren]

yes yes haha epic embed failure laugh pls

[delicate stirrup]

ok there goes my 650W psu then

[valid siren]

which 650W?

[delicate stirrup]

EVGA g5

[valid siren]

Mid.

[supple totem]

this isnt nessesarily true, your monitor shows you the most relevant frames, so the more frames it has to choose from, the better end picture you will end up with

[remote whale]

That's only going to support a 3090ti and that's it

[supple totem]

60 frames on a 60 hz monitor vs 100 frames on a 60 hz monitor is significantly more noticable in this respect

[polar fern]

The most relevant frames? Breh.

[valid siren]

Multi-sample antialiasing is a thing you can do. But you're better off just increasing other settings

[supple totem]

yes, it cant show you all 240, if you have a 120hz monitor

[polar fern]

Next you’ll be telling me that copper infused socks will improve my golf game

[supple totem]

so it shows you the best 120 of the 240 you have

[delicate stirrup]

bruh what

[valid siren]

how does it decide which one is the best

[supple totem]

im not an engineer

well i am, but not in that field

[rancid cedar]

You're also not a comedian

[supple totem]

specifically

[rancid cedar]

If you were, your joke would've landed

[valid siren]

honestly sounds like you're just remembering MSAA wrong

[polar fern]

It doesn’t it just yeets the frames outside the refresh multiplier

[supple totem]

and how does it choose which ones get yeeted

[polar fern]

Math

[rancid cedar]

It's based on the last frame that was rendered by the GPU before it's time to draw the next frame on the monitor

[polar fern]

“Refresh multiplier”

Yes.

[valid siren]

by ignoring unused frames probably or smth idk

[polar fern]

Yes

[supple totem]

i use a 300hz 1080p monitor

some people call me crazy for this :/

[polar fern]

There’s not a magic little monitor goblin sorting through the frames to pick which one gets displayed on the screen

However you can apply algorithms which detect brightness and other features in a frame

[supple totem]

https://gyazo.com/f62608e2530fe246672a4c26d650d21d just take all of the frames then

[valid siren]

Frank is very offended by this, he is a very hard-working monitor goblin who does not appreciate you belittling his work in hand-picking pixels for me

[supple totem]

problem solved

[polar fern]

Gets put through the signal processor and that will decide dimming and stuff

[delicate stirrup]

can't wait for 900Hz 480p monitor to play CSGO on

[supple totem]

i play 300hz 1080p on csgo

[polar fern]

🤣

[supple totem]

frankly i have to ask if thats enough

[south stone]

They'll just put the 30 footage and slap a "500 hz" tag on it

Then 60 fps footage with a "1000hz"

And 144 fps footage with a "2000hz" tag.

[supple totem]

honestly, 300hz is okay

[south stone]

https://youtu.be/DC7mT7QqOAA

[supple totem]

but i remember when i played on 60 hz all those years ago and

i cant help but feel like ive been on 300 for too long

[delicate stirrup]

the human eye cannot see more than 8 fps

[supple totem]

either i upgrade to 1440p 300 OLED

[polar fern]

Screen refresh rate is more to do with the biochemical workings of our eyes than anything else

[grim cloud]

I'm bored

[supple totem]

or 4k 300 OLED

bcuz 360 doesnt seem much better

[valid siren]

That is correct, I cannot stuff more than eight grams of feta into my eye each second

[supple totem]

i think my next display is 360 1440p OLED actually

i saw a display with those specs

[valid siren]

ok mr moneybags

[supple totem]

its not that expensive

[velvet marsh]

which one?

[polar fern]

One metric ton of feta per second

Cheese hose

[supple totem]

i would need to look

[grim cloud]

And yet I can't tell the difference between a 60hz and a 75hz monitor

Can*

[valid siren]

Sarcasm

[polar fern]

I think the most marked difference with the least distance most people can see is between 60 Hz and 75 Hz.

[supple totem]

ahh i checked

its just 300 hz 1440p oled

[velvet marsh]

which monitor?

[delicate stirrup]

oh no

[rancid cedar]

75-90 is noticeable too when doing certain things like scrolling a web page

[grim cloud]

If u can't find 240hz that's cheaper, I'd recommend that

[polar fern]

I do have to wonder if something like 300 Hz creates a lot of EM noise

[valid siren]

360hz monitors are cool but if you need a TN panel to do it it just seems so niche to give up that picture quality from decent VA and IPS panels

[rancid cedar]

Beyond that.... diminishing returns

[grim cloud]

Nerd alert

[velvet marsh]

Where?

[valid siren]

lol 300hz? my green laser pointer gets 530THz.

Massive skill issue

[polar fern]

I have my MSI optix g241 set to 120 hz & it works really well for me. It’s a 144 hz panel

I think the next step I would make is 1440p and 144 Hz. I honestly don’t see the point in 4K

[valid siren]

Things like the gigabyte M27Q and MSI G273Q(P)F regularly go on sale for $250ish now

[polar fern]

There are a lot of 4K displays out there and a lot of them succ

[vapid smelt]

the only 1440p 300hz panels im seeing are ips

[polar fern]

They are feature bare and even the build quality can be on the lower end

[valid siren]

That's the case with pretty much anything that's just trying to hit a feature for marketing points

[polar fern]

There are both monitors and TVs 4K that are worth purchasing for the right use case but they’re not in my budget

[vapid smelt]

highest oled on pcpartpicker is 175hz

[valid siren]

Like that with 80+ gold power supplies too. Because there are still way too many people who equate 80+ rating with quality

[rancid cedar]

Proper pixel density is better than anti-aliasing. That's what makes 4K better (given the same physical size)

[valid siren]

MSAA = beggar higher res

[delicate stirrup]

80+ gold saves like $10 a year

[polar fern]

I feel like the high end 4K market is still extremely expensive and the budget 4K stuff is crap if you’re not wary & do your homework

[rancid cedar]

Value proposition is a different issue

[valid siren]

In theory. The issue I take with it is seeing it as literally anything other than a certification for efficiency at three load levels.

Because every time someone says "get 80+ gold" that's potentially one more person with a P-GM or Aresgame AGS.

[rancid cedar]

AA only exists because monitors didn't (and still don't) have enough pixels to render diagonal lines with any kind of smoothness

[polar fern]

I guess my point is that feature rich 4K with a good on-screen guide and all of that stuff are still pretty expensive. I personally really loathe products that go for one feature such as the 4K resolution but the signal processor is at the upper limit of its performance capacity so it only has one or at most two inputs for example.

This happened with HD TVs as well

[valid siren]

Also the fact 80+ doesn't measure vampire power or 5VSB efficiency means it doesn't ever factor in the power draw when the PC is sleeping or powered off.

[polar fern]

You had a ton of 720P panels parading around as full HD

[valid siren]

Not sponsored by Cybenetics btw

[valid siren]

Even youtube doesn't consider 720p HD anymore

[polar fern]

My next Lenovo or very likely have the higher tier psu. They currently allow you to pick between 80 and 90% efficient

[valid siren]

80+ rating isn't a tier, though, and it shouldn't ever be seen as such

Or rather it shouldn't be what you base your purchase on

[polar fern]

It’s a feature tier when you’re building a computer on their website. Good better best etc

[valid siren]

Seasonic SPX-750 is highly efficient. Doesn't change the fact that it doesn't have consistent over temperature protection

[polar fern]

Most of Lenovos power supplies as it stands now or either 80+ bronze or 80+ gold The one I mentioned a moment ago is 80+ platinum

[valid siren]

Probably CEC requirements which require higher efficiency over a certain capacity

[polar fern]

Correct

And because they do a lot of enterprise and government contracts they have to have these options available

[valid siren]

don't see Dell selling bronze and silver 950W PSUs anymore

[polar fern]

These are under 300 watt

[valid siren]

For their workstations, I mean.

like, precision series with quadros in them

[polar fern]

I think the higher and one is 285 watts

Oh ok

[glacial basin]

[valid siren]

or no it was this thing and it was for alienware stuff https://www.amazon.com/Dell-U662D-UR006-H1000E-01-Compatible/dp/B00LNGHAW6

[polar fern]

One of the benefits of the more efficient power supply also doing higher wattage is that you can have higher tier components without that energy waste

[valid siren]

For an el cheapo iGPU rig group regulation isn't much of a problem assuming there aren't other things wrong with it, which with stuff that cheap there often is.

CV450 with a 12400 is fine. N1 450W with a 12400 is not.

[polar fern]

I do very much appreciate the tech industry as a whole moving towards more efficient components and such. The less power we use per person or per household the less stuff we have to burn to make the spiny thing go around etc

[valid siren]

Well... until you consider that a GTX 1080 would do fine on a 550 watt power supply.

Those days are long behind us lol

[polar fern]

So many people are focusing on power generation and where we get our electricity from - A huge solution lay in reducing electrical consumption to begin with so your demand is then in the realm of technologies that may otherwise not have the practical output for a more energy intensive situation

[rancid cedar]

Very likely that an RTX 4080 12GB that is power-limited to 150W will significantly outperform a 1080, so we're still moving in the right direction

[polar fern]

Well one of the reasons why I limited myself to the way that my setup is laid out is to reduce energy consumption.

At the wall all told I am pulling about 650 watts total and that is with everything running full bore which it doesn’t

[valid siren]

Efficiency is great, but a higher efficiency PSU is never going to make up for just how much power draw has gone up. Going from 90-92% efficiency (i.e. the difference between platinum and titanium) on a fully-loaded 1kW power supply is 20 watts. Compare that to a 3080 drawing about double what a 1080 does...

[polar fern]

That is two computers two monitors external hard drives a NAS, and various peripherals & two lamps and a desk fan

Yes

I almost feel like this is Chrysler Ford and GM back in the early 2000s when climate change was very much at the fore of public consciousness and they started coming out with all of these very fuel inefficient vehicles

[valid siren]

Feels like in-cable capacitors for power supplies. They suck, no one likes it, makes cable management a pain, but when one company starts doing it and gets better ripple suppression in benchmarks, now everyone has to follow suit to keep up

[polar fern]

I would be more impressed by all of the specs and performance numbers from graphics processors and such if they could do it with less power

[valid siren]

(Thanks, EVGA, very cool.)

Is your monitor 120hz?

[full fossil]

and i cant be assed to set my res to 1080p120 every time

its a 65" LG B7A oled

can only do 1080@120 and 4k@60

also what kind of monitor is 4k120 but doesn't come with a DP1.4/HDMI 2.1 port

That's cringe

[polar fern]

See my comment from earlier

[full fossil]

google isnt being my friend trying to find it either

[valid siren]

mkay so it's a TV. Neat. Set the resolution in windows settings rather than in-game

[polar fern]

I think TVs and monitors should have specific grading for the type of components that they have. Have it be like colour-coded or something

[remote whale]

What GPU do you have?

[full fossil]

vega64

i want to make it so every resolution only has their highest refresh rates available as a selection

[polar fern]

The best quality monitors and TVs with multiple different inputs and outputs and so on should be in the green tier for example

I think smart TVs should probably have their own reading system. They have different storage and other things that are unrelated to a plain old monitor or TV

[full fossil]

what im thinking of i did like a decade ago so it probably wouldnt work anymore anyway

[remote whale]

vega has hdmi 2.0 (I think)

so 1440p120hz is the max?

[full fossil]

its not an option, i could try making a custom res

[remote whale]

There should be custom res in the uhhh amd adrenalin

[polar fern]

Okay pyjama and TV time you all take care be safe stay healthy

[valid siren]

1440p on a 4k screen isn't great. 1080p is a straight 2x increase in both directions so you can do integer scaling

[full fossil]

so i guess i cant post pics directly

[remote whale]

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/b7-b7a-oled apparently the tv can't do 4k120hz

[full fossil]

lol thats not what im trying to do

[tired yarrow]

WDYM?

[wispy marsh]

I wanna change from a 12

[tired yarrow]

Are you okay?

[hearty spear]

as long as it's decent paste to start, it'll be fine for 3 years.

[hearty spear]

What 12 vs 14?

[full fossil]

Just got my 4090

[tired yarrow]

I don't change the thermal paste since early 2020, any thermal paste recommendation around 3-5 US Dollars?

[hearty spear]

what does MX-4 cost?

[tired yarrow]

Good for you, can i see it?

Wait lemme check

[south stone]

Mine, mine, mine. Lol

[full fossil]

Idt I can post pics here

[south stone]

As in mining. Do a quick test to see how much it does. lol

[full fossil]

80 cents a day

But I'm keeping it for workstation and for gaming

[cosmic dune]

Was anyone here able to snag a 4090?

[full fossil]

Yes

I got the msi trio

They run out of asus tuf asap. I was number 8 in line, and they only had 3

[tired yarrow]

I got it around 3 US Dollars, thanks for recommendation

[wispy marsh]

Yes

This year's iPhones

[hearty spear]

.... 3? Wow, such a launch!

[full fossil]

They had a ton of other cards, but those were the only msrp cards

Unless you wanted a surfboard card

[tired yarrow]

They doing pretty well this year's

[cosmic dune]

was newegg the only place to buy them online?

You can buy it on Amazon, or you can buy it on Shopee if exist in your country

[rotund wagon]

yo, second hand 3090s on ebay goin hella cheap lol, just picked one up for only $300aud more than i paid for my 3070 brand new lmao

[tired yarrow]

Check on Facebook marketplace, sometimes there's good deal

[tired yarrow]

No way, that's so cheap

[tired yarrow]

I'm not lying, i'm honest

[rotund wagon]

$1300 + $30 shipping aud, theres tons going for $850-950 usd too, great time to buy if you game with less than 4k ahah

[dreamy rose]

OBJECTION! a look at the iPhones will tell you that they are Mediocre this time round.

[tawdry pecan]

I have made a terrible financial decision

[wispy marsh]

A 6900xt performs better than a 3080 outside of rtx, and costs $670

[full fossil]

hii

how r yall

[tired yarrow]

Is the GPU on good condition? Very lucky if you got it in low prices and good condition

[tired yarrow]

Im good, hbu?

[full fossil]

im having aan unfortunate day

XDD

[tired yarrow]

Umm, i don't think so
Don't blame the company if they made same thing over and over

[rotund wagon]

@tired yarrow ye looks good, no mods, dude doesn't seem like a shitcoin miner, still got the sticker to indicate it wasnt taken apart. i mean i only need it to last like 2 years anyways until 4000 series drop in price about the same lol

[tired yarrow]

Im feeling sad about that, i suggested to watch some comedy show to cheers you up

[rotund wagon]

An unfortunate day huh? tell us more...

[full fossil]

why u wanna know?

lol

[tired yarrow]

Maybe you can change the thermal paste for better performance or use custom water cooler

[rotund wagon]

idk lol

[rotund wagon]

Hmm, maybe, never modded or taken apart a gpu before, i guess since its hella cheap for what it is i might try that...

[tired yarrow]

If you tell people more about your unfortunate day, it can cheers you up too

[full fossil]

nah rather not

[tired yarrow]

Yeah, it gonna be rock

[tired yarrow]

It's okay to if you won't share with us

[fossil dirge]

Why is that most theaters don't adopt THX as their certified cinema

The movie theaters close to my area has Dolby Atmos

[tired yarrow]

Dude, i know some THX intro

[fossil dirge]

Yeah same here

[tired yarrow]

The THX intro is very loud

[fossil dirge]

Yeah LOL 😆

THX is very loud because of the Deep Note

[tired yarrow]

Now days people more familiar with Dolby Atmos than THX

THX intro make me trown back sometimes

[fossil dirge]

Exactly Dolby Atmos is more common than THX

Yeah the THX intro is scary because it's loud

[tired yarrow]

Agreed 👍

[full fossil]

lol tnx for understanding

[tired yarrow]

No problem, have a good day

[hearty spear]

but they're saying "Thanks!" so it's super friendly!

[fossil dirge]

LOL 😆

[full fossil]

....?

[hearty spear]

Thx = Shorthand for Thanks

has been for 20+ years lol

[full fossil]

ik ik but even if the thing is called THX it could stand for smth else so it isnt necessary that its friendly 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[wanton glade]

Oh ok

[dull granite]

'piracy' (also known as media preservation) is 100% morally okay if you "pirate" some animated show sold off to gvt to pay taxes

[wanton glade]

Ok sure

[dull granite]

but game is still accessible

Minecraft you can play it

but you can't play original most wanted for example

[misty scarab]

is it possible to flash OneUI / Android onto a samsung phone without tripping knox
for exmaple if Android 14/OneUI 6 isnt release for my phone
but someone dumped a samsung rom of Android14 and OneUI
and I flashed it to my phone
would Knox stay as normal since its a samsung rom?

[hollow zealot]

Ah gee I'm so ready for sq2

Not like they're gonna upgrade that thing

[full fossil]

I mean most likely but I would backup your rom and data first

[misty scarab]

im not worried about loosing the data should knox self destruct mode, im more worried about just loosing knox

I actually enjoy having real time protection and not just protection when my phone restarts

[full fossil]

That's why you backup your rom first

[misty scarab]

well no

if Knox trips, then its done. Its a physical fuse

thats how it prevents from physical attacks

[full fossil]

ah Well I haven't had a issue like that yet when doing this

[misty scarab]

the hardware level, physical isolation, encryption and transportation with sensors that can even prevent temprature/laser and voltage attacks

Knox is unlike the other security chips in that manner

[full fossil]

what phone are you doing this with?

[misty scarab]

Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G

The Knox Vault Processor provides the main computing power for Knox Vault. To provide the strongest isolation, the Knox Vault Processor is separated from the primary processor on the SoC. This separation helps prevent side-channel attacks that depend on malicious software sharing the same execution core as the target software under attack.

[full fossil]

can I get the rom u want to do this with?

[misty scarab]

no rom yet

Im talking if I found a samsung rom

[full fossil]

ahh alr

[full fossil]

It may trip if you do it drk

[misty scarab]

if I dump my Android 12 / OneUI 4.1 ROM from my phone, then flash it onto a S9 or something, would It make Knox still work as it is a samsung rom on a samsung phone

[full fossil]

I mean why do you want to do this tho?

[dull violet]

wrong server

[hearty spear]

many apps already have. 8.1 is old, and was never that good.
*Yes 8.1 was better than 8, but not good.

[full fossil]

Windows 10 is not dead nor will it be dead for a couple of years. W10 LTSC will be supported until at least 2027.

What's a pretty cheap ($80-170$) GPU that can atleat run some less demanding games at reasonable fps's

[hearty spear]

You can find an RX580 8GB or a GTX 1660 TI used in that range pretty easily

(The 1660 being a chunk ahead of the 580)

[full fossil]

Alright

[red barn]

It will trip knox (warranty void: 1)

However, you could try to root it using magisk and hide itself from the OS. (the hide functions it’s called now zygote iirc) and enable your knox-related stuff

What’s your device? Let me see if i can give you a hand

Also take into account, not all samsung phones allows for custom images to be flashes (mostly those from carrier locked, for ex: tmobile, att, verizon, etc)

[misty scarab]

Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G

[tough spruce]

s20 pro plus ultra 5g 6g 9g max: Wide edition

[red barn]

Go to settings > about phone > software information > service provider software information. Tell me what it says in that section.

[misty scarab]

does that information change at all

the phone is under contract until end of this year, and I dont plan on modifying it until well after the contract ends but anyway heres the current one

SAOMC_SM-G986U_OYN_ATT_0033ATT/ATT,ATT/ATT

[red barn]

I think it does not accept custom images. Do you have developer options enabled?

[misty scarab]

Yes

I assume It will only accept a custom image once my contract ends and they send the unlock signal

[red barn]

Go to said option, then check if there is an option called OEM Unlock

[misty scarab]

not in there

[red barn]

Not really. Some carriers don’t let you enable oem unlock, doesn’t matter if said device its on contract or not

Speaking from experience

[misty scarab]

So even if I fully pay off the phone tomorrow and end the contract it wont let me do it?

I always thought it had to do with having a snapdragon phone

[red barn]

Yup, that is correct

[misty scarab]

is that even legal

because after the contract ends, I own the device not them,

also isnt it still possible to flash an image even if you cant enable oem unlock, it just makes it harder

[night heron]

yeah

if you buy the phone from them they can do whatever they want to it first

regardless if it stays that way after you fully own it

as long as its written in the contract that you agree to

[red barn]

You could try and wait but i wouldn’t keep my hopes.

[misty scarab]

there has to be a way to unlock the bootloader without enabling oem unlock

[night heron]

what provider is your phone from

[red barn]

Only MTK devices

[night heron]

if it’s from verizon or spectrum i wouldn’t expect to unlock it later

[misty scarab]

mtk?

[red barn]

Mediatek processor

[misty scarab]

Ass Telephones & Telecomunications

[night heron]

never heard of it but if you can’t flash their phones then yeah they are ass

[misty scarab]

its AT&T lol

[night heron]

oh

[misty scarab]

its not even that the setting is greyed out its just not there at all

So not a good idea?

[vernal basalt]

you'll be fine

unless they are drawing like 30 watts each

[sonic spruce]

Idk

They are 40mm fans

I love store-specific game exclusives!

You're not wrong, but I'm a director so I have minions for that

[tough spruce]

[hearty spear]

Having seen what some people do with cables?
You fucking NEED professionals to do that shit.

[vernal basalt]

Exactly, like what I used to be

[tough spruce]

oh im not knocking those people
running cables stealthly and efficiently isnt something you can just teach

[vernal basalt]

Lot's of experience. I'm really good at it, but I'm also a very organized person. The thing I hate and I had to get used to was... TEST everything THEN tape/hide cables

[hearty spear]

sure you can:
Perch with a paintball gun, and if you see them pop up anywhere they shouldn't: Shoot them

[tough spruce]

also operating a audio console is the equivalent of a new york bus line RTS lol

[vernal basalt]

eh, what I do is very basic AV stuff when it comes to microphones. We arre still using and will never use anything other than SM57's

Which are absolutely TERRIBLE for voice... so much feedback

[tough spruce]

yeah but once you get guitars and drums and such
gets really complicated really quick

[tough spruce]

feedback

[vernal basalt]

I don't do concerts, I hire people to do them for me

[vernal basalt]

You can have like 30dB above floor noise speaker about 30 feet away and it could cause feedback, because the way podiums are setup, they are usually about 1-2 feet away from the microphone

My favorite thing, is when they get SUPER close and it just clips

[tough spruce]

eliminating feedback is a artform of its own

[vernal basalt]

It's really not as hard as you think it is. But it's just learning, took me about 1-2 weeks to perfect it

at least for just speakers, not singing/guitars/drums/etc...

Which is all I really know... I'm not a true A1, but I know enough to be dangerous

What starts getting crazy is when you start having like... 4-5 languages

Each language is at least 3 inputs and 3 outputs

Televic is solving that though, hopefully we can start implementing it more...

hi can i get an opinion of a good upgrade after the MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge motherboard?

i use intel chip btw

[hoary furnace]

Really depends what you want to upgrade with it

New cpu?

[buoyant urchin]

upgrading old pc

[hoary furnace]

How, what for

What's your plan here

[buoyant urchin]

is it just better to build a new one then?

[hoary furnace]

How would we know with so little information

[vapid smelt]

A CPU using the z390?

[old smelt]

Hey LTT friends, how’s it going?

[buoyant urchin]

sorry lemme get the specs

[hoary furnace]

What are you encountering which makes you want to update

[buoyant urchin]

hasn't been touched in like 3 years so i figured its time for one

[hoary furnace]

Anything slow or unplayable?

[buoyant urchin]

it runs fine tho truthfully will it be fine for things like streaming and such? its a Intel Core i5-9600K, 16gb RAM, RTX 1660 is all what i know about it so far

oh its on a corsair 4000d case too

[vapid smelt]

Could upgrade to the upcoming i5 13400f with a b660 mbo

[buoyant urchin]

sorry if i aint specific i just got this system from my stepbrother so idk the specs entirely

[golden hearth]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/932033372363051058/1029851328068980767/unknown.png sexy

[hearty spear]

well, the Z390 can only run 9th gen chips, so nothing newer

if you want newer than that you have to replace the board and CPU together

[buoyant urchin]

a good setup for what i need to get would be awesome

im new to all this so xD

[hearty spear]

well, so far you haven't told us anything to go by

[warm kite]

Currently have a 5800x and 3090, pulled the trigger on a 4090 because clearly I'm a responsible adult doing responsible adult things... So, is it worth considering a CPU upgrade at this point or just wait for 13th gen intel to see how that pans out?

[hearty spear]

What is the current system?
What is it you want to do?
What is your budget?
And what is the current system NOT doing that you need it to do?

[hoary furnace]

at 1440p or lower? yeah, at 4k? eh

[warm kite]

On a 1440p ultrawide, so kinda in the middleish

[hearty spear]

I'd say to wait and see how the 7000x3d chip shape out in Q1 of next year

[warm kite]

They ever confirm those? Was surprised they weren't in the zen4 launch after how well the 5800x3D did

[hearty spear]

I believe they were slated for Q1. They wwanted the other high end chips to go first.

[hoary furnace]

I wouldnt, but I also wouldn't update from a 3090, so maybe you will

[warm kite]

Yea, only really made the leap because I managed to get a friend to buy the 3090 off me making it only a $700 upgrade

[hoary furnace]

Only

[warm kite]

Fair point when some people are building $700 systems I suppose

[hoary furnace]

If you like being on the latest and best then sure, or wait until you get the 4090 and see how you're doing

[warm kite]

Yea, benchmark data has been a bit thin this launch so kinda having to guess more than usual

Pretty telling that almost everything is CPU bottlenecked at 1080p anymore though and some times even 1440

[hoary furnace]

Yeah that's true

[worn saffron]

you guys, americans, have options when buying laptops?

[worn saffron]

i cant even imagine having this on my local websites

in fact, msi doenst sell laptops here and most sites just make it difficult finding a laptop that inst a hp i3 5000

[fossil frost]

are jake and sarah together? or do they both just happen to have a cat named arlo?

[worn saffron]

thats a great conspiracy theory you can make

[fossil frost]

or... since we have never seen them both in the same place at the same time, is jake, just sarah, in a costume?

[warm kite]

A quantum superposition is more likely, can't be sure if said entity is jake or sarah until observed

[night heron]

you should wait regardless

for either 13th gen or the ryzen 7800x3d

if you want a meaningful performance increase in games youll want the 7800x3d which should launch in early 2023

otherwise upgrading one generation is pointless

[warm kite]

Seems about right honestly, just hadn't seen if the x3d had a firm launch window yet

[molten drift]

I think Amazon is on crack
.

They just said an order in placed just now at 5:14 pm will be delivered between 4am-8am tomorrow...

[vapid smelt]

It's the same cat 😲

[night heron]

if the 7800x3d has the same performance uplift over the 7800x that the 5800x3d did with the 5800x thatll be insane

(25% on average in hardwareunboxed's testing at 1080p with a 3090Ti)

could be an even larger gap with a faster gpu

[lilac sage]

time for 7800X3D + the worst DDR5 ram imaginable

[night heron]

i say it's insane yet it's not perceivable, only measurable

still fun to see hardware get better anyway

[gleaming mural]

What's the best way to keep a room cool during gaming sessions?

My room gets quite hot while gaming so that I have to open a window to let the whole room cool down

[lilac sage]

good air flow

[gleaming mural]

Using a ceiling fan but room still gets hot

[lilac sage]

you could place the PC in another room

[night heron]

leaving the door open to your room is unironically the easiest way to help your room not get hot

[lilac sage]

and have longer wires

[night heron]

second best thing would be to open a window

third best is air con but that's loud

[lilac sage]

create a case that fits in a window as an AC unit.

[gleaming mural]

Since it is fall, I'm taking advantage of the cold outside

It drops down to 4C° at night

So opening a window helps

But it isnt really a long term solution since I don't want to have to open my window when winter comes

[lilac sage]

how good is your temperature tolerance

[gleaming mural]

?

[lilac sage]

if it gets that cold during the winter. the extra heat made by the PC will be beneficial

[gleaming mural]

It drops down to -18C°during the winters

[lilac sage]

well. then I fail to see why this is a problem during the fall and winter. seems more like a summer and spring issue

[gleaming mural]

Well more in part since I've got a heating system

I just barely know how to work the thing

I set the temperature to be at 20° but it's currently 25°

[vapid smelt]

@gleaming mural

[lilac sage]

well you could fix that by opening a window

should drop temps a bit

[gleaming mural]

what is that

[lilac sage]

exhaust from the PC goes straight out the window

[vapid smelt]

And intake from the outside

[lilac sage]

which means the only heat is basically that absorbed by the case

[gleaming mural]

Why do PCs get so heated up lmfao

[vapid smelt]

500+ watts of heat

[gleaming mural]

It's like I've turned on a space warmer or smth

[gilded quest]

billions of transistors

[lilac sage]

whats the power draw of a space heater?

[fair sage]

man, i wish i had a reason to buy stuff of from a friend :P. He bought a 7950x + ASUS B650-E Strix. Did some benchmarks, selling it :D. Sadly i got a 5950x + 128GB RAM, so no real good reason to upgrade

[gleaming mural]

Well, thing is, I'm only running on 240W

[vapid smelt]

500watts from a space heater is the same as 500 watts from a PC

[lilac sage]

ever used a vacuum?

[gleaming mural]

So I have no idea why it gets so hot that fast

[lilac sage]

generates heat alot

or a stove

[gleaming mural]

Depends on the type of vacuum tbh

I've got the type that goes in the wall

[lilac sage]

the type that goes into the wall?

[vapid smelt]

Electricity is heat and PCs components are made to remove heat asap

[lilac sage]

you mean like a regular vacuum?

[gleaming mural]

No

[vapid smelt]

The weird ones that are connected in the walls of your house?

[lilac sage]

btw refrigerators are your closest comparison to 240W I think

feel the sides and back of a fridge

[gleaming mural]

A central vacuum system

[lilac sage]

also. you ever touched a 100W lightbulb?

[warm kite]

Not the best example since those generally aren't actively cooled

[lilac sage]

PC cooling is equivalent to just expelling the air instead of dissapating heat from the case

it just ends up outside of the case faster

[warm kite]

Yea, one results in a much lower surface tempature than the other

[lilac sage]

its a comparison to how much heat these things can produce

[gleaming mural]

Different materials as well

Glass isn't exactly the best heat conductor

[warm kite]

Aye, passively cooled PC cases get REALLY damn hot

And extruded aluminum fins are a pretty good conductor

[gleaming mural]

Wait

Are small form factor desktops Passively cooled?

[lilac sage]

whats ur definition of SFF

[warm kite]

Most are not, passive cooling massively limits TDP

[gleaming mural]

HP ProDesk 600 G1

[warm kite]

The annoying inconvienience that human fleshy bits are much better at absorbing heat than air makes touching either thing quite miserable

[lilac sage]

no those have like laptop fans

or like <90mm case fans

[gleaming mural]

also how do I know whether to switch thermal paste or not?

[warm kite]

If its 4+ years old or otherwise overheating when it shouldnt?

[lilac sage]

your PC hits 90+ degrees but your cooling is adequate and properly mounted most likely.

[gleaming mural]

I feel as though the paste might've gone bad and I tried to check for throttling via Resource monitor, but no temps show up

[warm kite]

Some pastes have a shorter life, as does liquid metal

[lilac sage]

use some third party tools.

[shadow hazel]

"Today's the day it really set in for me that I've been watching LinusTechTips since y'all were a group of four Canadians in a garage that are now the name in tech."

[gleaming mural]

If I do replace the thermal paste

would Arctic MX-4 be a good option?

For use within gaming that is

I heard some pastes perform worse if subjected to demanding tasks (i.e gaming)

[lilac sage]

if its thermal paste its gonna be good enough

also gaming isnt a demanding task

[vapid smelt]

Most pastes perform within 1-4c of each other

[lilac sage]

most strenuous tasks are productivity

[fossil frost]

anybody know of any internal argb/fan hubs that would run from a pci-e 1x slot or an internal usb2 header?

[sonic spruce]

So would using this product be good or bad?

It’s for fans

[fossil frost]

your fans would run at max, all the time, you wouldnt get any pwm

[sonic spruce]

I don’t plan on it

They’re just 40 fans

[fossil frost]

then its fine, a molex connector will supply more than enough power for 4 fans

[sonic spruce]

Ight thx

[fossil frost]

will be fucking loud though

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Splitter-Sleeved-UIInosoo-Computer/dp/B099DZY2VF fixed your link

[vapid smelt]

https://a.co/d/bC1B8iq if you want to go full Chad mode for $10

[fossil frost]

i dont get how they can make those active pwm fan controllers for so cheap

even produced at scale, they have to cost about $9 to make, and then they are being sold for around that too

[vapid smelt]

AliExpress has them at $3.50

[fossil frost]

even accounting for chinese slave labour, and much cheaper parts, and doing everything in the same pcb factory... that still cant be making any money at all

[vapid smelt]

Maybe a dollar

[molten drift]

I'm seriously so amazed that Amazon even offers a 4 am to 8 am delivery window for what I ordered

Like... Amazon I just wanted my Lego in standard prime timeframe not sub 15 hours.

[sonic barn]

Thank the people with broken backs at Amazon

[molten drift]

It's a gosh darn Lego set how is it being deliver in sub 15 hours max from when I ordered it...

[sonic barn]

I wait 1- 2 months for everything to arrive

[sonic barn]

Wait until you hear how much companies outsource other factories for

Most are Malaysia, India, china, Pakistan

[molten drift]

Yeah ild post my screen shot... But I don't have floatplane sub.

[sonic barn]

Chinese workers get way more

[fossil frost]

yeah i know, i get my own PCBs from china... $2 for 5x PCBs

[analog night]

can someone help me with a issue im facing

[sonic barn]

AliExpress and Alibaba are basically one site to buy stuff for factory prices

Rather that wholesale

For some products

[fossil frost]

aliexpress IS ebay for selleing outside of china, from chinese factories

[sonic barn]

Not used though

[fossil frost]

aliexpress isnt available in china for chinese people to buy from

[sonic barn]

They got one, I forget what it was called but you could've gotten 2060s for 300$ off msrp with this weird brand off their. Site requires Chinese id though

There's no translate option for pages, it's only in chinese

[signal abyss]

i'd never trust aliexpress personally, especially for electronics

just not worth the risk

[steady sky]

i have a 3080ti, i'm gonna upgrade my monitor soon, 4k 144hz or 1440p 240hz? or are they both overkill?

[vapid smelt]

I would personally get 4k 144

[misty scarab]

PCBS 2 is out

Launch price 161 TRY and its on sale for 144.90 try

[fossil frost]

Depends on what electronics. A GPU, no chance, a big bag of cheap stepper motors, good to go 😁

[molten drift]

Oof. I gotta restart from scratch in order to get access to 1/3 of all the endings in cp2077.... Well there's another 40 hours down the drain for 2 achivements.

[unborn latch]

Does anyone here own a noblechair ?

[cosmic dune]

Ugggh so bummed I lost to bots buying up all the 400 series

[vapid smelt]

Gtx 400 is old af

[idle skiff]

[sonic spruce]

Thx

[sonic spruce]

Wdym?

[vapid smelt]

10 fan pwm controlled fan hab for $10 if you want a over kill quality option

[full fossil]

Ah yes I need that to power the 10 fans that fit in my 011D that I totally have

[idle skiff]

@vapid smelt @echo ridge ended up going w 5600G, cheaper cpu and cheaper motherboards during sale. got total price down to only $430. kinda nuts lol

[echo ridge]

Nice

[idle skiff]

thanks for your input & whatnot

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/L2k4wc

[echo ridge]

Have fun

[idle skiff]

build will be done by end of month

[vapid smelt]

Sweet now your parents PC can play Minecraft with acceptable settings

[echo ridge]

I mean your parents have fun

[idle skiff]

theyre going to use it for

google and storage basically

maybe video compiling from hunting rail cams

[echo ridge]

I mean if they have a another kid they would probably enjoy that you got that pc

[idle skiff]

theyre borderline retirement already lolol

[vapid smelt]

I built a r5 3400g build for my folks (newest g CPU at the time) with 16gb of ram too

[echo ridge]

My parents don't know how to use a keyboard

[vapid smelt]

And a 1tb mx500 along with it

[idle skiff]

i got a set of 5 cheap white light fans bc my dad "likes that my computer lights up" lol

[vapid smelt]

My parents have a dual monitor setup 😎

[idle skiff]

i got my mother adjustable vesa mounts for her dual monitor for working from home and she spent the whole day adjusting them instead of trying to stack the stock mount on top of books to level them

i fully embrace my family IT guy role

tech support

i couldnt beleive that silverstone case was as cheap as it was

[vapid smelt]

Thankfully my older brother is the main IT guy

My folks have a$30ish rosewill case with a blue led fan for extra fps

[echo ridge]

My older brother is the main it guy

But he doesn't know much ngl

[idle skiff]

now to convince my sister and boyfriend to get themselves a gaming pc

but first i need to convince you about this segway! to our sponsor!

[vapid smelt]

My brother is a nerd for a living (use to work at Motorola working on the police servers) he is the best family it guy

[echo ridge]

Square space

[sonic spruce]

Will it work with my 460 watt psu?

Also I don’t even have enough fans for that
I can fit 5 at the most

Maybe if I take out some stuff

[vapid smelt]

It should fans and hubs draw very little power

[sonic spruce]

Ok

[fluid ridge]

is anyone aware of any browser that completely mitigates fingerprinting

[sonic spruce]

Is there a way to like make a stand for the fans?

Like you know the gpu mount thing to help heavy gpus, that for fans cuz if I don’t I’ll be using screws on the case vent

[idle skiff]

brh a town board member and i were just walking about the ridge before todays meeting

we both got our wallet years ago

and he just recently got their key thing

[vapid smelt]

Ridge products have an enormous markup

[fluid ridge]

of course

it's 2 slabs of metal glued together

how expensive could it be

[vapid smelt]

A knife they sell for $175 uses the same steel as $30-$60 knives

[sonic spruce]

What’s the best single slot gpu?

Needs no power cable or 1 6 pin power connector

[vapid smelt]

No power cable would be the Rx 6400 or the rtx a4000 if you have a huge budget at $600 used

[sonic spruce]

Cheaper please

[vapid smelt]

Rx 6400 is $150

[sonic spruce]

Too expensive for me

I need around the same price as a gtx 745

[vapid smelt]

What's your budget

[full fossil]

I want to see a video where Madison the ltt's social media coordinator and Emma the girl from rog rep reboot 2020 build the computer together and then Linus has to watch it

[latent plank]

thats a terrible idea

also madison left the company forever ago

[sonic spruce]

$50 at max

And that’s if I go with a cheaper ssd

$55*

[full fossil]

Oh she did I didn't know that but either way I don't think that's a terrible idea I think that would be a hilarious video

[latent plank]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-gif-23756243

[fluid ridge]

what the hell is a social media coordinator

how is that an actual position that exists anywhere

[stark meadow]

its an important position wdym

social media is a massive marketing tool, you need someone who understands it best controlling it

[leaden gale]

If Nick is saying it's a terrible idea, that's because it probably is

[fluid ridge]

so you get paid for tweeting

lol?

where do i sign up

[ocean narwhal]

Is there a modern alternative that is less sketchy than logmein hamachi?

maybe something i can self-host on a amazon vm

[stark meadow]

depends on the company,usually they manage all company accounts and deal with issues if messaged on those accounts i think? my knowledge is limited

[sonic spruce]

@vapid smelt $55 is my budget on a single slot gpu

[fluid ridge]

nvm they make minimum wage

[vapid smelt]

Good luck you'll need to find a deal that will be grabbed fast

[fluid ridge]

my gripes are retracted, at least nobody is stupid enough to pay someone 6 figures to make instagram posts

[spice dew]

Is there a channel for pic/video?

[fluid ridge]

all other channels except for this one

[whole lake]

Cooling a PC Nile red style when

[sonic spruce]

What card tho?

[vapid smelt]

Idk

Gtx 1050 or 1650

[livid belfry]

@latent plank The OG Kyle B gave Linus some props https://twitter.com/KyleBennett/status/1580247905956376576

figure your active and staff so who better to tell the man the myth the legend of dropping things Linus Sebastian 🙂

[stark meadow]

basedo radeon

unironically might go for arc or radeon next year when i build my pc

hopefully by then arc has fixed most major issues

[livid belfry]

it is obvious why nv has a dp 1.4a connector on its 1500+ card

the sales will mostly go to miners that are in their house, storage units or warehouses violating fire codes

[stark meadow]

real

[livid belfry]

they could of waited for dp 2.1 but they needed to launch NOW

[night heron]

eh

they couldve launched it with dp 2.0 right now if they wanted to

but chances are they finalized the design for the 4000 series a long time ago and were too lazy to change it

[south stone]

I'm back after a long ass nap, anyone with a 4090 in their hands? How's the mining? I'm pretty damn curious xD

[night heron]

nicehash said they only have one test result so far and it was 118mh/s so not spectacular

[south stone]

Just saw a youtube video! lolllllll, dark times for nvidia and miners.

[eager notch]

HOWEVER

Seems like he says however a lot

[cold tinsel]

Hopefully video cards no longer get used for mining going forwards, but that's a fever dream

[granite finch]

Yo whats goody my gang

[thin fjord]

what's crackin

[night heron]

whats brackin

[eager notch]

I mined for over a year on a few cards. I'm not currently mining due to it costing more in electricity than I would make but I'm not getting rid of hardware either

[hollow knot]

Guh?? 😈

[vale kernel]

im severely dissappointed with pc building sim 2

how can you launch the game on the same day the 4090 launches

and not have x670 anything, not have ryzen 7000 am5 40 series gpus..... they dont have corsair 3000, 5000, or 7000 d airflow NOR x rgb

they dont have 420 mm rads or 480 mm rads... you cant pull the rails out on the obsidian 1000d

it feels like a skeleton

yeah you can mess with your shop but it makes me wonder why release a new game at all

if youre not gonna add newer parts

i was going to build the pc im going to build irl for a friend so i can show him but it looks like ill have the damn thing built before they add everything needed to virtually build it

[graceful burrow]

Homie acting like the game can't receive updates

💀

[hybrid shell]

💀

[noble locust]

Am i allowed to ask for help with my minecraft server plugins in this server?

[graceful burrow]

You can try making a post in #1027757333117415424

[dim lava]

so like when is LTT gonna add a turbo to a pc

[hollow pulsar]

I’m sure you can too.

[light tundra]

Turbo blows, pc goes with it 💀

[slim yacht]

you know 2080ti's were added quite a while after pcbs 1 launched right ?
they can get updated

[granite finch]

YOOOOO

3090 JUST CAME INN

LETS GOOO

along with a new mobo and cpu

but who cares about that

[regal vapor]

Fromm the deep night though series:
What is cash without love.

Aight, gifs dont work here

[bleak vessel]

What’s a good usb hub taht won’t break my bank. Under 40

I need a lot of ports

[jagged oar]

hi

[dreamy rose]

use Arc as a Coprocessor for Rendering video of thats what you do

[stark meadow]

I meant buying one of them lol

So whatever I buy will be my only gpu

[dreamy rose]

well then you want Radeon

[stark meadow]

Maybe, I'm waiting till next year so I'll see how the next gen gpus go

[dreamy rose]

who knows what Radeon 7000 Will be like

[stark meadow]

Ya we'll have to wait and see
