nvidia and amd always have lol.

[echo ridge]

also aib cards pull more

so they will spike a bit higher

[tepid bolt]

What's the cheapest A or B tier psu available to you?
Buy that.

[echo ridge]

for him it's the c650 2022

[spiral zodiac]

as my current 850w is from uh....

2013ish?

[echo ridge]

it will be fine explodes

[manic torrent]

@spiral zodiac should be used to explosions

[spiral zodiac]

its warranty ended like....5-6 years ago now? its a good psu, but i ran it pretty hard early on. two 5870's and one 5850, an i7 930 overclocked, then a 5820k overclocked lol

well...yeah i'm used to hearing explosions lol. just not the kind you're probably thinking of

[tepid bolt]

My SO's PC has an 850w 80+ silver psu from an old alienware

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pFZFf7/apevia-signature-1050-w-80-bronze-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-atx-sn1050w ez 😛

[spiral zodiac]

i'm just thinking the psu may be leading to my system instability atm. i keep getting bsod's

its the oldest comoponent and its possibly whats causing it.

[manic torrent]

it's ok I'm a subaru guy, so I am also used to explosions. Boom. oil everywhere, inspection holes in the block

[spiral zodiac]

oddly enough i had a subaru as well

[echo ridge]

sounds like a subaru

[spiral zodiac]

wrx engine lasted well into the 200k mile range

[echo ridge]

subarus last forever or die as soon as you drive em off the lot

[tepid bolt]

Miles don't wear down engines, heat cycles do

[spiral zodiac]

i've done my years in high end gaming, i'm done with it now lol

mid range or mid-low range for me from here on out lol

[tepid bolt]

Same here

[echo ridge]

the x3d is high end change my mind

[spiral zodiac]

which is why i'm not thinking i'll need a high end or high output psu anymore.

nah, threadripper is high end lol

[echo ridge]

threadripper is low end for gaming

[tepid bolt]

Epyc Genoa tho

96 Zen 4 cores

[echo ridge]

clocks

[vapid smelt]

so is yoru pc

[echo ridge]

yes

[spiral zodiac]

or if i do decide to go cheap upgrade, 5700x lol

[tepid bolt]

IPC > Clocks

[spiral zodiac]

but be sure, i'm not overclocking anyway lol

[echo ridge]

so a 7700k at .1ghz is faster then a 6700k at 5ghz then right

[spiral zodiac]

so whatever the reviewed power use is, thats pretty much what i expect lol

[echo ridge]

never said my pc was high end

[spiral zodiac]

just say 100mhz...

[vapid smelt]

https://youtu.be/1LaKH5etJoE?t=625 no gpu gaming tho

[echo ridge]

so basically as much as you can oc nowdays

[tepid bolt]

No because they're both skylake cores

[full fossil]

i seen this guy somewhere :V

[echo ridge]

fine 11900k and 10900k

[vapid smelt]

its linus little brother 😛

[tepid bolt]

10900k will actually beat 11900k in a lot of things lol

[spiral zodiac]

[echo ridge]

INTEL

6700k and 3770k

[sonic spruce]

I’m have an emergency, tech support please

[tepid bolt]

5ghz 3770k isn't catching up to a 4ghz 6700k lol

[vapid smelt]

call 911

[echo ridge]

i said .1ghz

[sonic spruce]

Power supply turns on, then I power the pc on, then pc turns off

[vapid smelt]

[tepid bolt]

Huh

[vapid smelt]

fake news

[vapid smelt]

have you tried asking people who care?

[spiral zodiac]

but yeah, i mean a good seasonic at 500-650w if i can find one lol

its a shame pc power and cooling is a questionable brand

i remember when they were no.1 and seasonic was no.2

[vapid smelt]

these two words dont go together

https://imgur.com/NCbpauj

[full fossil]

enough lollygagging in here

[spiral zodiac]

good thing i'm not looking at focus

prime px probably

it also comes down to loading it up and putting it into that peak efficiency range under load. a 750-850w psu would put me at like 50-60% load range, which would be in the much lower of the 80+ efficiency range.

[tepid bolt]

No way Prime px 650w is the cheapest you can find.

[spiral zodiac]

looking up reviews, the px 750w would put it at high efficiency at ~50% load though

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/k9Wz4XuepnbtrvSfpXreH3-970-80.png.webp

it starts dropping off pretty early on after 250w load.

400-450w still puts it just above 90% efficiency though.

you dont want under, and you dont want over.

pairing a 800-1000w psu to a system that might draw 400-500w is a bad idea lol.

i wish we used 230v though lol. wouldnt care at all then

[modest sierra]

I ❤️ seasonic

keeps me warm in the winter

[full fossil]

hello guys

[rigid musk]

I have a Galaxy S9+ with Android 10 / Samsung OneUI 2.5. Samsung needs to stop reinventing the wheel.

I literally cannot open the Android Auto settings page by tapping on any entries in the Settings app (AA is not a separate app any more). I have to search for it - which takes a surprisingly long time, considering how few items are actually in Settings.

[echo ridge]

no

[rigid musk]

I wish I could just throw the Samsung crap out the window and use a AOSP rom, but then I lose the device security status so Google Pay won't work, and the camera loses all its advanced features.

[spiral zodiac]

lol i went from a galaxy s7 to a uh....

zenfone, and to now a note20 ultra 5g....because they were cutting support for my zenfone.

[full fossil]

ok bye

[rigid musk]

I know I'm never paying for a samsung phone until they make some major changes. this one was a hand-me-down.

I'm hoping the Pixel 7a gets a better camera than the one that's been in every pixel except the 6/6 Pro and 7/7 Pro. Might just be enough to make me pay for a new phone even though this one still technically works.

hell I'd even consider a 7 Pro if they made a smaller one (what is with all these heavy-ass phones?!)

I got a 6, it was cheap.

Question, why does Corsair get a pass when their behavior is equally bad as NVIDIA?

Or is it just me with beef?

[lyric plinth]

?

Explain

If you mean they abominably overprice their PSUs

[wraith sonnet]

Scuf being a patent troll, Elgatos closed system there's more I can delve into

They bought Origin and now are making their own laptops for some unknown reason

Imagine working at origin and watching your corporate overlords replace you like a Google product

Mind you I have beef with Origin as a former Xidax builder but still

[lyric plinth]

I got some shit with EVGA i haven't settled

[wraith sonnet]

Not to mention Corsair basically leading the charge on the whole killing the 5.25 bay and the flat solid front panel with no ventilation

[lyric plinth]

That's typical Corsair behavior

On top of selling shit ram

[wraith sonnet]

That's my point

Why do they get a pass when it's all horseshit

[lyric plinth]

The RGB may look nice but ram is effectively useless when that shit can't even xmp

B-but Linus said it has lots of good reviews on Amazon!

[wraith sonnet]

Oh and the fucking aio is the worst

[lyric plinth]

I got a bone or two to pick with Linus on his average PC build video too

Nah we don't need to go there

How fucking negligent do you have to be to not allow the display to be rotated

[lyric plinth]

Wait what

You mean the display on the block?

YOU CANT EVEN ROTATE IT?

[wraith sonnet]

Oh and the RGB fans being wired in SERIES so if one fan goes out the other fans up stream shut off too and you can't skip a port?

[full fossil]

what about battlefield 2042 and ready or not

[full fossil]

no im guessing?

[wraith sonnet]

If you get ANYTHING from MSI back from RMA just send it back to them, they didn't fix it.

[lyric plinth]

I returned my EVGA GPU cause i thought the fan had a problem but it turns out it's a stupid EVGA quirk. I also accidentally defrauded microcenter and got a partial GPU refund

[lyric plinth]

My dual boot pop install breaks the time on my windows install

Things are a bit different for me because I have an APU. If it dips into system memory that’s when we get problems, but I tend to run the game all by itself so it doesn’t dip into system memory

[lyric plinth]

I have a u14s with kryonaut extreme and i found out it's not good long term paste so i can't wait to change that in the coming months

[full fossil]

https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/Hydro-Series™-PRO-RGB-Liquid-CPU-Coolers/p/CW-9060031-WW im going to get this maybe

[polar fern]

It’s actually really funny, because if I run folding at home for a while and then play 1.19 Minecraft, the problem mostly goes away.

[lyric plinth]

Don't get any Corsair aio

They're all shit

[manic torrent]

oh, that's not watercooling, that's an AIO

[full fossil]

oh my bad h

[lyric plinth]

Get an ek aio

[polar fern]

I am actually wondering now if it has to do with the load voltages on the igpu

[lyric plinth]

Liquid freezer 2, literally anything

[manic torrent]

I mean, it's TECHNICALLY watercooling, but as a rule if you say that you mean custom loop

[polar fern]

My face is watercooled

[lyric plinth]

I don't like aios or water-cooling in general

[full fossil]

i might custom loop cuz my dad can help with that but idk

[lyric plinth]

Waste of money

[full fossil]

looks cool

[lyric plinth]

Unless you're overclocking a 13900ks

[polar fern]

Regardless of how you cool it just make sure everything is sized appropriately for the cooling that you are doing

[full fossil]

well it looks cool

[lyric plinth]

Looks cool but has more added points of failure

[full fossil]

yes

[lyric plinth]

See with air cooling you only have the fan to worry about

[full fossil]

i get like 70 degrees in games on my cpu

[lyric plinth]

What cooler

[full fossil]

artic freezer a35 a-rgb

i do get to like 60 sometimes

degrees

[lyric plinth]

My 12700k topped out at 79 under max load

[polar fern]

The biggest benefit with water cooling is the water itself has a large thermal mass, so it actually takes a while to warm up to begin with

[lyric plinth]

Pushing the u14s rated tdp to it's limit

[manic torrent]

How is it a waste of money

[lyric plinth]

Waste of money if you're using it for anything less than the highest end CPUs

[manic torrent]

is it? How do you define waste?

[polar fern]

It’s not a waste of money if it’s doing something that you want to do

[manic torrent]

What if you want to make your PC look good and enjoy doing it?

[polar fern]

No, no one likes doing that

[lyric plinth]

You can make it look good without a custom loop

But if you wanna put your money there then do that

To me it's a waste

[manic torrent]

Such a waste

[lyric plinth]

O11?

[manic torrent]

yes

[lyric plinth]

Water cooling favorite

[full fossil]

eh my dad was the one who suggested it

[polar fern]

Are you going to redo the internals of that or are you going to put something in a new case?

[manic torrent]

me? I already upgraded to a 5700x / 3080ti in that case

[polar fern]

Ahh

That’s a really interesting distribution block

[manic torrent]

but I will probably get the new O11 XL when it comes out

[lyric plinth]

The added points of failure give me anxiety

And with an air cooler i don't need to worry about that

[manic torrent]

There is no distro block

[full fossil]

my setup looks like shit compared to everyone elses

[lyric plinth]

That's a GPU block

[lyric plinth]

Is that Corsair RGB ram?

[polar fern]

Oh, that’s the graphics card

[manic torrent]

yep

[polar fern]

Sorry, I’m doing it on mobile so I have to zoom in

[lyric plinth]

Is that the same shit quality as lpx just with a different heatsink?

[heady flicker]

I'm sure it's pretty normal

[manic torrent]

probably, it's just 3200C16

[full fossil]

yeah its kinda basic but im happy with it

[lyric plinth]

God i love it but i kinda just want to go with Trident z

[polar fern]

@full fossil send me photo of setup. I’ll post in here

[full fossil]

its still a wip

[full fossil]

kk

[lyric plinth]

I have a pic of my cable management

It's organized chaos

[heady flicker]

my desktop has no personality

[polar fern]

My cable management is a giant rat nest behind the tower 👍

[lyric plinth]

I was talking about my internal cable management in my PC

But yeah

[polar fern]

I don’t have to worry about that, thankfully

[full fossil]

i cant send

to ur dms

[lyric plinth]

I have a literal piece of wood holding my GPU up

[polar fern]

No cables to manage in this one

[lyric plinth]

Mmm ribbon cables

[polar fern]

The cables in this one are a bit of a pain in the ass, but they’re mostly out of the way

Smol fan

[full fossil]

yes smol

[polar fern]

This is @full fossil’s setup

I give it a solid 7/10

[full fossil]

thanks!

[polar fern]

I think the monitor might be best wall mounted

[echo ridge]

[full fossil]

i was considering that

[polar fern]

O noes/10

[echo ridge]

bruh

[lyric plinth]

Windows 11

[heady flicker]

cozy

[polar fern]

I have no problem with the hardware and desk, having it in front of a window with drive me nuts

[lyric plinth]

My desk is in a window corner

[polar fern]

My current set up is very partially in front of a window and very partially drives me nuts

[lyric plinth]

Did you see my dm

[full fossil]

i want a setup like that

but with 2 monitors

[echo ridge]

monitor is kinda shit tho

[lyric plinth]

At least you can fit your PC on your desk

[heady flicker]

I need to repaint my walls

[lyric plinth]

I want to repaint this room

To a very light grey

[echo ridge]

I wanna repaint with black 3.0

[lyric plinth]

Vantablack

How about the pinkest pink?

[echo ridge]

no

[polar fern]

That bit on the left is a window. I basically always have the blinds and curtains closed.

@lyric plinth nu

[full fossil]

tbh i might just get an aio

[lyric plinth]

The easy way out

Ek makes me wanna get their aio

[full fossil]

i just need to find a good one

[lyric plinth]

[echo ridge]

what about alpha cool

[lyric plinth]

Arctic liquid freezer 2, lian li galahad,

Eh

[pliant karma]

Ek Basic 240 🙂 pretty happy with mines so far

[lyric plinth]

The RGB versions look so good

And work good

[full fossil]

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cooler-master-masterliquid-ml240l-v2-rgb-aio-cpu-cooler-240mm-hs-08a-cm.html is this worth it

[echo ridge]

wait 3 year /s

[pliant karma]

Oh by then I’ll have a new itx system lol

Going back to air cooler cause I can’t be bothered to deal with aios

[echo ridge]

wait 18 months

[lyric plinth]

And then?

[polar fern]

I can’t believe no one mentioned it

[pliant karma]

Problem with them?

[echo ridge]

aios usally die between 18 months and 3 years

[mild elm]

No

[lyric plinth]

Am i crazy or is that a prototype ltt driver

[graceful burrow]

L tbh

[full fossil]

ok

[heady flicker]

I was more taken away by the two keyboard and mouses until I later realised there's two os

[mild elm]

Which cpu

[graceful burrow]

It's just a black shaft one

[echo ridge]

didn't transit get it at the pop up

[lyric plinth]

Oh

[echo ridge]

wait that was someone else i think

[lyric plinth]

I thought they only had the one shaft version

[polar fern]

it is not a prototype, but it is the first round black shaft.

[echo ridge]

they had the black shaft but there were issues

so they removed it

[graceful burrow]

No he ordered it and then complained multiple times about it not arriving fast enough for him even though they said the black shafted ones would be a bit of a longer wait

[lyric plinth]

I want it

[pliant karma]

Yes and no. My friend has had his old Corsair one for about 5 years now. I’m running my older h115 at full speed inverted to see how long it will last before the pump gives out

[lyric plinth]

Looks clean af

[echo ridge]

70 bucks

[lyric plinth]

Expensive tho

[graceful burrow]

Just buy a whole ifixit kit tbh

[magic crown]

there were no black shafts sold during the popup

[mild elm]

Just use your dad’s tools

[full fossil]

oh i just realised i didnt sleep

[polar fern]

a limited production run. once they run out they won’t make more

[lyric plinth]

Ltt sunk his life savings into this damn screwdriver so he's gotta make it all back

[heady flicker]

the ifixit kit seems more practical to me

[graceful burrow]

It is a very nice kit
Would recommend

[pliant karma]

Ima have a fun time adapting ifixit bits to my ltt screwdriver

[echo ridge]

https://www.lttstore.com/products/screwdriver?variant=39857021976679

[mild elm]

Which kit

[lyric plinth]

I have an ifixit kit

[magic crown]

two different usecases

[heady flicker]

has the bits I need to repair my mouse, too

[lyric plinth]

But i don't use the driver

[graceful burrow]

The one that sells closest to 70 usd

[lyric plinth]

I hate the driver

[graceful burrow]

Pro tech toolkit

[lyric plinth]

I have a different driver i much prefer

[echo ridge]

improving a 45 ish dollar desgin is expensive

[heady flicker]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/488464/ifixit-pro-toolkit this one right

[lyric plinth]

Which works with my ifixit bits

[graceful burrow]

Yeah

[polar fern]

The black shaft was only available through the online ordering system and its shipped later than the plain steel

[graceful burrow]

They used to sell for 60 :(

[heady flicker]

it's cheaper to buy it online

[mild elm]

This website is so bad

Why isn’t the tech toolkit under kits

It’s under tools

[heady flicker]

because it is a tool

[echo ridge]

it's got the lifetime trust me bro warrenty /s

[polar fern]

👍

[magic crown]

1/4 to 1/8 bit adapter

[lyric plinth]

How does the handle feel

[polar fern]

It’s actually a great screwdriver, I really like it

[lyric plinth]

Except for the plastic bits holder

[echo ridge]

xalen have you seen project farms video

[lyric plinth]

Should've gone rubber for that

[pliant karma]

Been looking for that any links?

[lyric plinth]

Yes

[polar fern]

No- I like the whole thing

[magic crown]

i 3d printed one

[polar fern]

The retractable bit holder works great too

[echo ridge]

why would you buy one if you not sure it's ogod

[lyric plinth]

Drop that driver from more than 7 feet and tell me if anything in the holder breaks

Actually less than that

[echo ridge]

-70

[lyric plinth]

7 feet is generous

[magic crown]

fits perfectly in the stock bit holder lol

[polar fern]

I bought one after seeing how they were made…

[pliant karma]

Huh my friend got a 3D printer recently I’ll make him 3D print mines

[echo ridge]

4 feet

[lyric plinth]

Something plastic on that driver will break

Usually the bit holders

[polar fern]

Very unlikely that I’m going to drop the screwdriver.

[magic crown]

probably gonna need something with good tensile strength, but let me know how it goes

[lyric plinth]

Treat it like a baby

[wind pulsar]

I'm pretty sure Linus literally did that in a short

[pliant karma]

Yep that’s the weak point. Jay broke his, and someone on the ltt subreddit broke theirs after a drop

[echo ridge]

ill bet these will brake

[polar fern]

I don’t treat it with any special care, it gets used like a screwdriver

[pliant karma]

^im expecting mines to be abused on the film set

[lyric plinth]

I can drop my Stanley Philips driver from the top of a mountain and I'm sure it would be just fine

[wind pulsar]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0bvZ70wgZVM

[echo ridge]

but does it have a bitholder

[polar fern]

first rule of buying tools: if you have to baby it, it’s not going to last

[lyric plinth]

It doesn't need to

[pliant karma]

Lol my gear regardless camera non camera gear gets abused. my broken lens I dropped face first

[lyric plinth]

I don't get the point of bit holders

Just pocket the bits like a man

[echo ridge]

what if you don't have pockets

[magic crown]

you do realize that Triax 1120 got better tensile strength than rubber right?

[polar fern]

Uh you don’t put driver bits in your pocket

That’s how they end up rusted in the laundry

[lyric plinth]

Only if you forget about them

[polar fern]

If they’re in a bit holder, then you don’t need to worry about it

[lyric plinth]

The material i was referring to isn't rubber, kinda is, idfk what it's called

[magic crown]

silicone? that's even lower

[polar fern]

?

[lyric plinth]

Nah that ain't it either

[magic crown]

not all plastic are created equally

[polar fern]

Rubber gets full of shmoo

Delrin?

[magic crown]

having daily used few of my ltt drivers from the past 6 month, they do seem to hold up pretty well

[polar fern]

👍

[echo ridge]

just take it out

[magic crown]

other than slight shaft wobble on one of the units

[echo ridge]

one of?

[magic crown]

[polar fern]

Fancy pants with multiple units

[lyric plinth]

Slop

[magic crown]

#tech-chat-1

[pliant karma]

Oh yea forgot their hand assembled so there will be those like that

[polar fern]

All ratcheting mechanisms wobble a little bit they have to because if they didn’t, they would be exceptionally difficult to rotate in place

[magic crown]

newer ones actually got more vertical movements than the popup units

[lyric plinth]

Man i should sleep

I just can't fall asleep

[golden talon]

4:11 am for you too?

[polar fern]

Yes

[lyric plinth]

No, 3:11

[indigo plume]

would be more convient if we just had open boarders

[pliant karma]

Lol even that won’t fit the overhead compartment is super small

[indigo plume]

like 70% of our imports comes from usa anyway

[pliant karma]

And that’s how small this shit is

[muted wind]

Huh I wonder if they expect you to put a briefcase in there or something

Most likely and small backpacks/ purses

im thinking of getting an arc a770

My little sibling went from GT630 to RX570, massive change even when is power limited to 85% (PSU Constraint)

Though now he has new issue, the i3-3220 is bottlenecking it

[full fossil]

i went from intel hd 4600 to gtx 1650 h

[full fossil]

rip

[neon mesa]

Ahhh the endless loop of pc upgrades

[full fossil]

im really deciding between intel arc a770 or a rtx 3060ti

[neon mesa]

A770 is decent now

Get whatever is lower price

Because intel hilariously is actually better than amd at non gaming tasks

[full fossil]

rtx 3060ti is lower by like £20 but the A770 is better than the 3060ti

[neon mesa]

Get 3060ti then

[full fossil]

lol

[full fossil]

ehh i can spend the extra £20

[neon mesa]

Not worth it

Intel is getting better but it's not there yet

[full fossil]

it has 16gb vram and rtx 3060ti only has 8gb

[neon mesa]

VRAM is only one factor

im not getting a gpu now this is for like mid 2023

im getting watercooling for my cpu first

then im gonna get another 2x8 sticks for 32gb ram

can someone answer me the difference between
computer science and information technology

any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated

[neon mesa]

Computer science is concerned with the theory of computing and the design of computer systems. Information technology focuses on the use of computer systems for practical purposes such as storing, retrieving, and manipulating data.

[fossil frost]

and either way, unless you do either of those at a university level, you are only ever going to get a very very high level overview of the subject. and if you do choose to go down one of those paths at university level, it wont be choosing such a broad subject, you would choose one of the sub-classes of subjects within the broader subject

taiwan agri is also extremely strict but at least they are asian kind of strict, they will let you go as long as you tick all the boxes

nanotechnology is one of those stupid words that people use to cover a broad spectrum of things so that stupid people can sort of understand it.... if by "nanotechnology" you mean "they are created using incredibly small scale processes" then yes... but i would choose a less shit word to describe the process

[bleak abyss]

i see

about that word, i have no other choice lol

cos thats what my professor gave me and its in chemistry

i would love to know a good word from you itself to describe it though 🤔

[manic torrent]

Current transistor tech is incredibly small.

It's not nanotechnology.

It's just very small

[fossil frost]

ie. "transistors" within a cpu now, are made on the scale of 5-14 atoms wide/tall/high (depending on the arrangement), but transistors that you find in your tv, could be a few mm wide

your power mosfets in your motherboard are probably 8mm by 8mm by 8mm cubed... and are also a type of transistor

[bleak abyss]

yes, there are different use cases for mosfets there, but im specifically searching for the answer in the pc world

[fossil frost]

mosfets are the PC world 🙂

and now finfet and ribbonfet too, but still heavily relies on mosfet

[bleak abyss]

🤔

[full fossil]

can i make one by hand?

i have a steady hand

a transistor? yes... one that small? no

thank you bizzehdee

[fossil frost]

Modern processor transistors are considered to be a type of nanotechnology because they are made using materials and processes that operate at the nanoscale. The term "nanotechnology" refers to the study and application of very small things, typically on a scale of 1 to 100 nanometers. A nanometer is a unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter, which is about 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

Transistor technology involves the use of materials and processes that operate at this very small scale. For example, the components of a transistor, such as the gate, source, and drain, are typically made using materials such as silicon, which is then doped with impurities to create the desired electrical properties. These materials and processes are all used to create structures that are extremely small and operate at the nanoscale.

In summary, modern processor transistors are considered to be a type of nanotechnology because they are made using materials and processes that operate at the nanoscale and involve the creation of extremely small structures.

i refuse to read that

[sonic barn]

Chat gpt can be wrong

[bleak abyss]

cannot believe that ai helped rather than google

[fossil frost]

yep, but if you use it properly... you can use it as a starting point to help with research.. you should never take what it says as "the answer", but you can use what it says as a starting point to give you an idea on what terms you dont know you need to search for

[full fossil]

AI googled it for u xP

[bleak abyss]

lmao

[fossil frost]

so that there, is the outline to an answer.... but isnt an answer in its self, it still needs work and still needs somebody to do the research on what is said to verify it and add context and nuance to it

[bleak abyss]

thats the exact answer i wanted

😭

[hardy trout]

who do you think would win in a boxing match with austin evans and linus

[fossil frost]

hahaaahahahaha :D:D:D, i just asked it to rewrite the answer in a way that a 5 year old would understand... its incredible 😄

[river vector]

guys if flash bios and can put new cpu right away?

[full fossil]

why couldn't u? xP

[river vector]

cuz it says it kinda doesnt support my current cpu with new BIOS

[fossil frost]

if your board doesnt support your cpu, it needs to have "flashback" or something like that and you need to do that WITHOUT the cpu in the board...

[river vector]

its my first time doing this want to make sure

[vocal cobalt]

i see thank you, what would be a better major if i want to get into computer engineering?

[river vector]

and i have new cpu that i want to install

[fossil frost]

if your board doesnt have flashback support, then you need an older cpu, put that in the board, flash the bios, then put the new cpu in

[river vector]

after the flash

restart button appears should i wait for restart or turn it off?

[fossil frost]

after the flash, and after its rebooted so you can confirm the new bios is in place

[river vector]

but if it wont suport my old cpu

bios will work anyways?

[fossil frost]

no, if it doesnt support any cpu that you have, you need to check that your board can be flashed from a special usb port on the back that allows flashing of the bios without a cpu installed

and thats something you need to check the manual for yourself

[river vector]

i want to put 5800x3d and it needs newest BIOS

and in description it says that they dont recommend to upgrade if im using my current gen cpu

but yeah i will try to flash bios

restart and check bios if it works then exit and install new cpu

is that correct?

[fossil frost]

yes

[river vector]

okay thanks

i hope nothing goes wrong

[full fossil]

whatcha coding? xP

[fossil frost]

right now? nothing, later on today when the children shut up and leave me alone... robots 😄 (got a tank tread robot that needs its firmware finishing, and a spider bot that needs its firmware starting)

[full fossil]

u married? xD how did that happen?
robots? OwO with pi or arduino?

[fossil frost]

married, divorced, currently engaged and planning a wedding... 3 kids, and yes, making 2 robots, both powered by rpi-pico's

[full fossil]

sounds like interesting life xP
i also want to make a robot army and take over the world >:3

3D printer has been a large part in creating my first recruits

[full fossil]

lol, my first 3d printer was ender 2 or whatever its called xD
it was so bad, it would have been faster for me to mine iron, refine it, melt it and cast it, then wait for that crap to finish anything TwT
now im afraid to buy a better one

which one u have?

[upbeat orchid]

On Nvidia control panel, under global settings, do you choose "auto-select" or "High performance nvidia processor"?

I assume its referring to the igpu or dgpu

[fossil frost]

ender 3, but added a bed levelling sensor and made the bed a solid mount bed, and... compiled my own marlin firmware for it with all the bells and whistles turned on for tuning it up properly... got it very finely tuned now, and produces some amazing prints

[upbeat orchid]

I used to be an amd guy so its my first nvidia gpu

[fossil frost]

leave it as it is. it will use the nvidia gpu for anything that needs it, and the igpu when it doesnt, or... always use the nvidia gpu... depending on what it thinks is best

[full fossil]

damm xD sounds like a lot of work, how u write firmware? OwO i never done that yet :[

[upbeat orchid]

Thanks for the quick response!

[fossil frost]

marlin is a FOSS 3D printer firmware, you "just" configure it, build it, and install it to the printer... took me about 2 days to get the printer fully "just right" to where it prints everything really well every time

and writing your own firmware for stuff, i write c/c++ in vscode using the pico-sdk, or using platformio if i do stuff that is on esp32

[full fossil]

sounds pretty cool xP

[full fossil]

can i use marlin on any 3d printer?

im gonna reverse engineer my motherboard firmware

[fossil frost]

more or less yeah, they support practically every commercial desktop 3D printer, with example configurations for them too

[fossil frost]

i was going to say "no you are not" and explain why, but im not going to bother explaining.. im just going to leave it as "no you are not"

[full fossil]

wish i had time to explore this more TwT

im so charged rn, everything i touch creates a lightning,
why must door handle be metal 😭

[unreal sluice]

I just saw a string of starlink satellites for the first time

It's so bright irl

[full fossil]

Is it worth cheaping on the PSU?

[fossil frost]

no

[full fossil]

sounds cool xP i didn't see the sky in years 😭

[vapid dove]

Well it will cost 300k to rebuild your house so

[noble remnant]

true

[full fossil]

yes, it saves on heating bill by creating a nice roaring fire xP

[vapid dove]

i cant spell

[full fossil]

That when it comes the hard part, I don't live in us

[full fossil]

its ok, i cant either

I'm Brazilian and a PSU it's VERY expensive

But still, thanks for the advice

[full fossil]

is Brazil the country that tax tech in insane amount?

Yes, vídeo games producs has a 72% taxing as Casino machines

[full fossil]

im afraid the only solution is revolution :V

Especially consoles

[summer folio]

But, PSU is not a video game

[full fossil]

I was making some calculations about how much a steam deck would cost in Brazil

It's basically 3 minimum wages (more than 3000brl)

[noble remnant]

its so good bec it doesnt explode ✅

[noble remnant]

its very recomennded

[vapid dove]

Best psu ever

[summer folio]

If 1 PSU explodes, then all Gigabytes PSUs explode

[full fossil]

Yeah it's expensive

Too expensive for me to buy

[full fossil]

looks not bad xP
