[jagged juniper]

I cant even root my phone or change the bootloader. Its all locked down by Samsung

[edgy sun]

Yeah it's dreck these days

I managed on this a71 but it shows a giant warning sign with red text saying bootloader unlocked every boot

[jagged juniper]

You will take what we give you and you will like it - Samsung

[edgy sun]

Kinda a mean move because anybody that steals it will know :p

[jagged juniper]

I bought a phone I thought was pretty decent spec wise... but phone bloat on apps and such is so damn high I feel like new phones are slower than older phones used to be

[runic lagoon]

What happens to just rooting the phones. 😉

[idle skiff]

I don't understand

Why is this one $80 cheaper, significantly undercutting every other monitor with these specs

And it's even more confusing when you check the Acer website; on their own site they list the $220 one as like $430 and the $300 one as $300

Like there HAS TO BE something I'm missing, I can't find it anywhere

[fluid ridge]

amazon clearance?

[jagged juniper]

The $300 model is 92% the color space

[fluid ridge]

amazon has no problems taking a hit if it means getting rid of old stock lol

[edgy sun]

Yeah on a71 i pretty much doubled the battery life after rooting and using fx do disable like 999 samsung packages

[idle skiff]

Ooh sold by Amazon you're right

[fluid ridge]

yeah amazon's just built different that way

[jagged juniper]

Which is why I dont buy electronics from them anymore

B&H is better

[edgy sun]

Nah i used newegg tho

[idle skiff]

It's weird too, because the 27" model of the $220 one is more expensive for the smaller screen

I guess it's a pixel density thing

[edgy sun]

I did order the case off amazon tho

[fluid ridge]

the average "We can't just sell at a loss, we'll make no profit and our shareholders will be angry when our quarterly revenue doesn't meet expectations" fan vs the "yo we need free warehouse space just sell that shit for half the price we bought it at" enjoyer

[jagged juniper]

@edgy sunOh god thats just as bad

[idle skiff]

Lol

[edgy sun]

Oh come on I can't imagine newegg is worse than amazon lol

[idle skiff]

When the paycheck hits I'm gonna snag it I think?

Because $220 for what it offers??????

[fluid ridge]

amazon beats everywhere else for electronics

[jagged juniper]

@edgy sunI didnt say worse

[fluid ridge]

30 days no questions asked returns is insane

[edgy sun]

It came in 2 days no shipping upgrade

[edgy sun]

Fair enough

Yeah comparing to amazon isnt saying much i guess

[jagged juniper]

I refuse to use Amazon for anything

[fluid ridge]

???

[jagged juniper]

Why ???

[marsh carbon]

Valid stance

[jagged juniper]

You find that hard to believe?

[fluid ridge]

i only use amazon to buy shit now lmao

[jagged juniper]

Why?

[fluid ridge]

their customer service is cracked and their prices are either on par or better than everywhere else (if sold by amazon themselves) and the shipping time is 2 days at most with prime

[jagged juniper]

I refuse to give that asshole another dime

[full fossil]

Why it is the best

[fluid ridge]

not to mention an insane return policy

their inventory is huge too

[marsh carbon]

Amazon has horrible working conditions

[fluid ridge]

ok and?

i dont buy a product based on the working conditions of the place it was made in

[full fossil]

Nope I used to worked the I'm am ex worker there and it was nice

[fluid ridge]

you would be paying 200 dollars for a T-Shirt if you wanted ethical manufacturing and selling

[jagged juniper]

@fluid ridge That is a fucking TERRIBLE way to buy products

[marsh carbon]

I know a few others who will disagree

[fluid ridge]

i buy what's cheapest and most readily available

[marsh carbon]

As do I, but I understand if people dont want to support that

[fluid ridge]

i could care less whether it's from the most virtuous company in the world or sold from raytheon as long as the prices are the best

[full fossil]

Guys the computer parts there are great and some are cheap

[fluid ridge]

nothing wrong with that either, good on you

[jagged juniper]

How about all that fake product

[full fossil]

Wdym

[fluid ridge]

but if you expect me to pay a 40% upcharge on something as intangible as ethical manufacturing practices that's not happening

[sterile rivet]

are they paying you to say that

[jagged juniper]

Or fake reviews

[fluid ridge]

buy the shit amazon sells themselves

[jagged juniper]

@full fossilThey are FLOODED with fake or low quality copies of crap now

[fluid ridge]

buy the things amazon sells themselves or amazon distributes themselves

if it's garbage, return it, no questions asked

[full fossil]

No I used to work there before ethe pandemic then I stopped because I cpuld not get money from the pendamic now I am learning video editing

[jagged juniper]

I'll stick with B&H knowing what I'm getting is legit and the prices are very similar

[fluid ridge]

you're going to suffer in either shipping times or return policy

[jagged juniper]

I dont need stuff in 2 days

[fluid ridge]

amazon can take a hit so if you tell them "hey some asshole stole the 4090 straight off of my porch" they'll either send you another one or give you a refund

it's cheaper for them to take the hit than to escalate so their customer service is insane

[jagged juniper]

If I need something right now I can simply go to a store

If I need some sort of specific PC part I can just drive to microcenter and get it today

[fluid ridge]

prices probably wont match depending on where and it's insanely convenient

IDK

[full fossil]

Yep micro center is great

[fluid ridge]

i also live in canada so micro center doesn't exist

[jagged juniper]

@full fossil Is it 45min away? Yes... Am i glad I can go there when its an emergency at the company I work for to pick up a replacement part.. oh yes

[fluid ridge]

depending what you buy amazon offers same day delivery sometimes too

but it's a bit of a dice roll as to if your local warehouse happens to have the item

[full fossil]

Na just 10 mins away

[jagged juniper]

Its 45 for me... my city sucks. We get nothing

I bet you can guess which one I live in if your from the usa

We had a water crisis a few years ago and the whole country was in uproar over it on the scandal

[full fossil]

Na can't I was born in Canada

Moved to the US to study at age 18 Im 26 now back incoolege to get another degree

[full fossil]

Do you know why sun never went to college?

Because it has million degrees

You can laugh now

[leaden gale]

How the fuck

[atomic meteor]

all i am asking is can those 2 parts run together without any problem ?

[leaden gale]

Yes. Yes they will. The only problem here is you worrying about a term that's overused and misunderstood.

[glad meteor]

is a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition 10GB NON LHR for 640$ (used) a good deal

[mild elm]

It’s fine

[glad meteor]

alr thanks

[leaden gale]

It's an alright deal, but I'd take a used 6800 XT over the 3080.

[glad meteor]

i was thinking of maybe shooting for a 3080 ti

[mild elm]

Don’t waste money

ti = tiny improvement

[glad meteor]

i prefer 3080

[leaden gale]

Except in the case of the 1080 (Ti)

[glad meteor]

cause of ray tracing and stuff

[leaden gale]

You're uncultured, but it's not my money.

[mild elm]

I prefer 200 bucks in my wallet and better performance

[fossil frost]

the 3080ti isnt worth it for "ray tracing and stuff" because you have no real use case for it... if you KNEW you NEEDED a 3080ti, firstly, you would be buying a 3090ti... secondly, you wouldnt be in here looking for us to justify it for you... get a regular 3070 or regular 3080 and dont waste your money

[gilded quest]

indeed

[leaden gale]

1080 Ti gang rise up

[gilded quest]

too bad my motherboard doesn't support SLI

:/

[leaden gale]

Mine does 😈

[glad meteor]

wasnt talking about 3080 ti

i probally dont have enough for 3080 ti

[leaden gale]

If you "probally" don't have enough for a 3080 Ti, you "probally" shouldn't be worrying about real-time ray-tracing.

[gilded quest]

my X470 board did, but the Z690 does not

[fossil frost]

again, if you had a use case for it, you would already know.. "ray tracing and stuff" suggests you have no idea why you need it and just want it... at the end of the day, its your money, do whatever you want, but dont ask us to justify your decision

[leaden gale]

It doesn't? Huh. I mean, it's not surprising given how SLI is considered EoL, but still...

[gilded quest]

Its a ProArt
I assume because SLI was dead when the board was released in late 2021

[versed socket]

yo just wanna make sure we still aint fucking with eufy?

[gilded quest]

I even have dual PCIe gen 5 16x slots

with proper 8 lane bifurcation

[leaden gale]

To be fair, SLI was dead when the X570 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero released in late 2020, so

And it still has SLI support

Though that might just be because Crosshair and all

[gilded quest]

I'd be better off getting an A770 for DX12 titles than running SLI 1080ti anyways

[leaden gale]

Agreed

[idle skiff]

ngl thermalright is kind of a bangin' brand for how insanely cheap some of their stuff is and how not-bad they look

I still can't get over my CPU cooler, half the price of a top end cooler for same performance

Just ordered a pack of case fans to match the cpu cooler

frickin schweet lois

[steep trellis]

the guy who says this just died

[idle skiff]

Wot

[idle skiff]

.... Seth MacFarlane?

As far as I'm aware he's still kicking

[manic torrent]

I ❤️ my 3080ti

[fossil frost]

yes, but you know what you are doing, know the reasoning behind buying it, know your use case for it, and didnt come in here expecting everyone else to justify your purchase for you

[manic torrent]

Indeed, because that would be insane 🙂

[fossil frost]

but thats what most people come in here asking us to do 🙂

[manic torrent]

nah some people come in for other insane reasons 😛

[balmy oxide]

Fully dissembled and resampled my first pc today. It still works perfectly.

[full fossil]

Hello, I'm having trouble getting my gamaky Lk67 to Bluetooth to my PC via it's bt mode

It just doesn't show up

[cerulean canopy]

do you have wifi card with bt or bt usb adapter in your pc?

[full fossil]

Bluetooth works on my pc

[fossil frost]

anybody know if any apps for windows, that do guitar teaching... via a usb cable connected to a guitar (real guitar)?

[full fossil]

I've used earbuds and also headphones that Bluetooth

[full fossil]

Rocksmith

[fossil frost]

ah nice, didnt know i could just use any regular guitar

[full fossil]

Idk but ik the bt works I've used it for audio devices

[full fossil]

As long as you have a cable that connects your guitar to your computer

[fossil frost]

i will have when i get the guitar... fiance is buying me a squire strat for my birthday, gonna order myself the cable and re-learn... not touched a guitar for about 15 years and always regretted putting it down

[full fossil]

Then yeh Rocksmith is a good idea

[tribal compass]

Anyone know of a good laptop for college 5-$700

17inch

[jagged juniper]

Just basic class stuff?

@tribal compass

[bitter rain]

Do I spend 150 dollars I got to Amazon on a second monitor or save for a gpu upgrade

My specs are in my bio

[toxic dune]

gpu

[bitter rain]

Even though it’s not enough for one alone?

[jagged juniper]

?

[bitter rain]

Wait actually I forgot it’s 200

[jagged juniper]

You seem to know what you need already

[bitter rain]

Yeah but also I’m running a 1050 ti

[tribal compass]

Yeah, just don’t want something slow af and want 17inch

[bitter rain]

I’m not even sure it can run a second monitor

[jagged juniper]

Why 17?

What do you mean "Cant run a second monitor

[tribal compass]

I just don’t want a 13 or 15 inch

[jagged juniper]

Ofcourse it can

[bitter rain]

Like it’s super weak

[jagged juniper]

Not for dual monitors its not

[tribal compass]

I would consider a surface pro or something as well but most interested in a decent laptop

[jagged juniper]

@bitter rainMy I7-2600 can run dual monitors and its using an IGPU and its OLD AS hell

@tribal compassWell 17" laptops are generally more expensive for less

@bitter rainYour gpu isnt running games on both monitors is it?

[manic torrent]

You need at least three monitors to be cool these days

[tribal compass]

What would you recommend at 15inch

[bitter rain]

One monitor and then probably a yt vid or something in the other

[steep trellis]

nah

[jagged juniper]

@bitter rainThen stop worrying about what gpu you have

[steep trellis]

he just died on his own terms

[jagged juniper]

ANY gpu can run dual monitors fine

[steep trellis]

he said "'my peanut farm went sour i cant go on"

[jagged juniper]

@bitter rainThe only thing you need to decide is if you want 2 monitors or a better gpu. Let the thought of "Can it run 2" slip from your mind... because they all can with no issues and NO slow down

[manic torrent]

He reached up with his dead hand and signed it in his own blood.

[full fossil]

People: calling and bitching about delivery times

All of us at work: ok well you will just get your stuff very late then 😄

[graceful birch]

Going to CES right now, would Linus be mad if I saw him and asked for a pic?

[bitter rain]

Yeah so is like the 45 fps on high ish enough for single player games?

[manic torrent]

he will fight you

[graceful birch]

I'll use the rgb rope

[bitter rain]

That’s what I should be asking myself

[jagged juniper]

@bitter rainWhy are you telling me this. This is your decision

[bitter rain]

Yeah ig I just wanted a second opinion

[steep trellis]

hes layed 5 family guy stones all across the state of rhode island

they say the first to get all 5 will be the most powerful in the universe

[full fossil]

60fps minimum for single player games 75fps recommended, 144/165 minimum for competitive/multiplayer

[idle skiff]

Last time someone asked Linus for a pic we never heard from them again. Be safe. Bring a few friends. It's a huge safety threat when in the presence of a Mr. Tech Tips

[jagged juniper]

@tribal compassForget that one.. its a low res screen

[idle skiff]

I recommend a rope around the waist Incase a friend needs to pull you back out

[steep trellis]

if u had a 6 inch clone of linus would u put it in tupperwear and like pour water in there

[idle skiff]

That's an oneyplays kind of hypothetical

[jagged juniper]

@tribal compassThis one has a full 1080p screen. https://amazon.com/dp/B08BKVJV2N But Lenovo makes good laptops for school and business

[steep trellis]

its word for word an oneyplays bit but i slightly changed the punchline

[full fossil]

But are you guys making your way down town?

[steep trellis]

(this is the future of standup)

[full fossil]

Walking fast? Faces pass? And you are homebound?

[ebon otter]

Will plex support av1 encoding soon?

[idle skiff]

I am aware

[jagged juniper]

@ebon otterYou should ask Plex

[manic torrent]

yes. As a random person who doesn't use plex in an unrelated discord, I can assure you that my information is far better than that of plex

[ebon otter]

Lmao

I’ll ask

[delicate arrow]

Best GPU upgrading from 1660 super? Any recommendations 😛

[manic torrent]

4090

[ebon otter]

Honestly just get a 3060 ti or 3070

[steep trellis]

I met linus at a funeral, pretty cool dude except for the part where he kept burping loudly when the mourners cried or made "audible disruptions"

[steep trellis]

1050 ti

[jagged juniper]

@delicate arrowGT 710 is a good gpu

[toxic dune]

@bitter rain i love ur website btw

[manic torrent]

I think this should be sufficient to raise and lower my monitors

[fossil frost]

some would say... overkill 😄

[manic torrent]

I mean, you're talking about 30kg+ cantilevered. Better to overkill 🙂 - also overkill saves you from ridiculous wobbles and failures.

[bitter rain]

Perfectly low quality lol

Project I did a couple years ago

[manic torrent]

I have hit a hitch in my crane mounted PC plan - wife approval factor. It looks like I will have to have the PCs "home" be over on a shelf. The good news is that should be possible, while also allowing it to be above my screens as planned.

it just means it needs to work in two dimensions.

[bitter rain]

Thanks tho

[vapid smelt]

that looks like allot of hard work

[bitter rain]

That sounds mad hype

[manic torrent]

it does! it's made from rocks. silicate paper.

[bitter rain]

Can I see a picture of progress

[manic torrent]

of the crane? just bought stuff, haven't done anything yet

[bitter rain]

Oh

So the pc will be floating above the monitors

[bitter rain]

Wow

[manic torrent]

yeah, so it will have three positions, one above the monitors, two over on the shelf, three service position on the table.

[vapid smelt]

wait how the fuck did you get the wife approval permit ?!

[fossil frost]

you not gonna go dual-z, with a rail connecting them, and then mount to the "X" rail?

or you gonna go individual Z sliders for each monitor?

[manic torrent]

there will be an X rail the monitors will be mounted to (on gas arms)

the center speaker will also be mounted there, and probably the mic and camera.

basically removing 90% of stuff off the desk.

[manic torrent]

yeah I had it all setup perfectly wall mounted etc, but I moved the whole room around, so it's time for some upgrayedd.

[bitter rain]

When you set it up you may want to 3d print something to stop it from falling too far in case of disaster

[manic torrent]

The monitors are fine since they are on a screw.

I think safety for the winch will have to be a pinch block that needs to be opened by solenoid

[fossil frost]

was gonna say, worst thing that would happen is that they gradually make their way to the lowest possible position

[manic torrent]

yeah, all I need is a stop

[vapid smelt]

im just surprised it got wife approved

[manic torrent]

the crane? I haven't... exactly got approval for that

only for the PC being on the shelf 😉

the crane is obvious and implied, because how else would it get there

[vapid smelt]

so its a "temporary" crane

[fluid ridge]

have you tried buying a new computer

[manic torrent]

I am a genius. The crane will be 2020 Extrusion along the roof, and then there will be a seperate section of 2020. It will transit onto that, which is mounted to a hinge down the wall. This will fold down, moving the computer out in front of the monitors, AND avoiding the garage door rail. it's brilliant brilliant brilliant!

and it is super simple, and doesn't have too many moving parts.

AND it integrates into the fascia I was already planning for the monitor lift

[sick root]

lol some guy offered me there 5950x for my 5800x3d scam?

[vapid smelt]

5800x3d is way better for gaming and the 5950x is better for productivity

[manic torrent]

nope

[sick root]

ok'

[full fossil]

7950x3d is best for both productivity and gaming

[stray apex]

no
7950x3d is worse than a 12100f rn

[full fossil]

Proof?

[stray apex]

12100f scores more than n/a in cinebench r23

[full fossil]

Care to share the proof or?

[stray apex]

prove that the 7950x3d outperforms an 8600k in cinebench r23

[tribal compass]

Where can I find used gaming laptops?

[full fossil]

Theres no benchmarks out man

[tribal compass]

Besides eBay and Craigslist

[stray apex]

that sounds like a you problem

[manic torrent]

in the ewaste mostly

hi. what is the best picture recovery app . i had 500 GB HHD and I, unfortunately, choose it wrong and use the clean command in the cmd on it. is there any app that is promising?

[crystal mirage]

after a 10 second google search I found a software named recuva

[full fossil]

Anyone else see the 7950x3d max temp is 89c instead of 95c?

[manic torrent]

yeah the v cache makes it more sensitive to heat

[full fossil]

Is that bad

[manic torrent]

It's just... physics.

Nothing comes free.

[full fossil]

Sure but i meant is that bad for.the cpu as a consumer

[manic torrent]

Why would it be?

[crystal mirage]

well in my opinion the cpu being cooler is better

[full fossil]

True

[full fossil]

What if it surpasses 89c

[crystal mirage]

*if it performs as well

[manic torrent]

everybody dies

[full fossil]

Thank god

[crystal mirage]

it would downclock and possibly turn the pc off

[manic torrent]

and/or thermal throttling... you know, whichever comes first

[full fossil]

I mean what

[ebon otter]

Which would be better for a nas, more storage with less redundancy, or less storage with more redundancy?

[manic torrent]

a balance of the two as befits your use case

[crystal mirage]

well i guess it comes down to do you care about redundancy

if you don't care about the files go for more storage

[manic torrent]

also: redundancy is NOT BACKUP

[ebon otter]

I plan on using it for movies and I don’t want to have to redownload muiltple tb of storage

[crystal mirage]

imagine using backups

[ebon otter]

I was thinking useing 4 drives total but would 2x2 be better or should I use all 4 for max raw storage

[cold jacinth]

Best way to keep dust of my desk and setup ?

[manic torrent]

all 4 in a "jbod" style so they aren't dependant on each other seems to fit your use case. That way you might lose data

[ebon otter]

Clean

[manic torrent]

filter the air in your room with a HEPA filter

[crystal mirage]

by vacuuming your room

[manic torrent]

Remove all your skin

[ebon otter]

But HDDS fail and how long would it take to redownload TBs of movies?

[manic torrent]

I don't know and I don't care - this is your issue 🙂 you need to work out the inputs to the question. How much is it worth to you in time and effort and hassle, vs time and effort and hassle and money, etc etc

[ebon otter]

Farr enough

[cold jacinth]

Does it collect the dust molecules form the air?

[crystal mirage]

well an air filter filters the air

[manic torrent]

"collect" is a strong word, but it captures them as air flows through it, yes.

[cold jacinth]

K thx I will give it a try

[last solstice]

I like actually love the fact that the good value card is actually 4090

[full fossil]

Anyone have hands on experience with the arozzi arena desk?

[vapid smelt]

lmao a gaming desk

[summer folio]

All my vacuums have had HEPA filters

[vapid smelt]

look around locally for a good used real wood desk

[full fossil]

I hate used stuff

What are other good desk recommendations if the arozzi arena is bad?

[summer folio]

Go to IKEA then?

[cold jacinth]

Do you use it for your desk?

[full fossil]

Instead of recommending other stuff can you just tell me if the arozzi arena is bad or not? Thanks

[summer folio]

No, I use like my great great grandmothers wooden table

[vapid smelt]

you can get a new shitty particle board desk that legit made of glue and saw dust or a real wood used desk

[cold jacinth]

I didn’t word that right.. I meant do use the vacuum to clean ur desk?

[summer folio]

No, kitchen wash cloth

[vapid smelt]

I THINK I MADE IT CLEAR that the gamer desk is bad

[summer folio]

Then you vacuum the floors

Then you mop the floors

[cold jacinth]

And for the keyboard ? cause my keyboard has dust in it

[summer folio]

I think LTT put them in the dishwasher machine in a vid

[vapid smelt]

then after a few months most of them died

[cold jacinth]

So I suppose taking the keycaps of and vacuuming it will work?

[summer folio]

Did they create a follow-up video, or did I just skip that part of the video?
I don't own a dish washer

[vapid smelt]

risk of static electricity

[graceful burrow]

Honestly would have probably been fine if they gave a few distilled water baths

[cold jacinth]

Ok what would u suggest?

[summer folio]

It's hard to get all dirt out, if the caps still on? I have a laptop & permanent disgusting keyboard myself

[vapid smelt]

take the caps off wash the cap in soapy water, then get a damp cloth and wipe the keyboard

[summer folio]

& maybe dry it for some super extra long time, before thinking of plugging it in again

[full fossil]

Are you implying its bad or not

[vapid smelt]

MDF "wood" is weaker then real wood and if you want it to last i wouldnt get it

[full fossil]

Any desk recommendations i can order online?

[summer folio]

Get a personal local shopper, ask your mom/dad

[vapid smelt]

https://www.flexispot.com/electric-height-adjustable-desk-with-bamboo-top a nice bamboo one

[full fossil]

How good is it?

[summer folio]

You can't even change the shipping country to Sweden, what if he lives there? How could he order it?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6WDvzlmtSM it can hold 1 linus and lift

[full fossil]

Oh he actually reviewed it? Got a video for me?

[vapid smelt]

sort of they took the top of to replace with radiators, but they use very strong steel alex and problems drilling it to modify

[summer folio]

🤽‍♀️🐴❔

[vapid smelt]

https://www.flexispot.com/electric-height-adjustable-desk-with-rectangular-top $269 for a 48"x24 with a real bamboo top

[full fossil]

Is the actual desk very solid and good though?

[vapid smelt]

yes

[full fossil]

Good 🙂

I like the price

[vapid smelt]

in the first 5 seconds of the video i showed it was lifting 1 linus

[full fossil]

XD

[vapid smelt]

plus its adjustable so even if you dont use it as a standing desk you can fit it to your comparable sitting height

[full fossil]

Any particular model you recommend or literally any of them depending how much i wanna spend?

[vapid smelt]

any model is great

[full fossil]

Cool 🙂 ty

[vapid smelt]

it seems for 30 bucks more you can get a cherry wood top over bamboo

Should I remove all of the program files

[neon igloo]

[finite rain]

That’s taking up 302gb

[slim mirage]

why you want to remove it

[vapid smelt]

just buy a 8tb ssd

[finite rain]

Taking up to much space

Bruh I can’t afford that

[slim mirage]

download windirstat and see what program is taking up the most no doubt it will be your steam games

[manic torrent]

storage is ... computer parts.

[summer folio]

You can always install Everything,
then sort by file size.
tada, delete video files/games u dont need

[manic torrent]

like system32

[summer folio]

I did that on my first PC

[jaunty compass]

man, being able to use the steam deck as a PC and then easily switch it over to console and unplug it and get in bed is like
kinda wild tbh
i use its desktop mode a lot more than i thought i would

wasnt enough space to install Petsson & Findus

[sonic barn]

better than qualcomm. I got a 845 and its still basically the same performance as the new highend mobile chips made by them

[jaunty compass]

speaking of qualcomm
they made a switch emulator for android

so that's pretty cool

[night heron]

that's an amazon mobile app link

not sure why they shorten it like that but yeah

[slim mirage]

yeah but they tell people to watch out for dodgy links and then companies use these short domains that are never seen until sent as a text or an email and they wonder how people get confused

[night heron]

yeah if you can be automatically redirected to the amazon app by clicking a desktop link then why don't they give you the desktop link for the product when you copy it from inside the app

it's very stupid

[sonic barn]

there is a site to remove embed code if any

I forget what its called

[summer folio]

Just uninstall the app

[night heron]

i prefer doing my shopping on mobile apps

maybe that's sacrilegious for a pc enthusiast but it's just nicer

i also prefer reading emails on mobile

Cant trust critic’s websites anymore

not yet i think theres like people trying but the screen res isnt common for oled panels plus a touchscreen aswell as far as i know

[last solstice]

Sadge

[slim mirage]

put it this way i remember the switch screen and thinking that is horrible then i seen the steam deck display which is also horrible and then i seen the oled switch and it was a massive game changer for me like its making me want to buy a switch now just for mario kart

[manic torrent]

yes

[manic torrent]

buy a switch just to tell tom nook to get fucked!

so switch emulation is basically an android emulator as its arm or am i missing something

because surely there would be android switch emulators that would run better

Gonna do some minor RGB but can't go overboard or it defeats the point

[unique needle]

i honestly have plans to custom loop my 6750xt reference card

[full fossil]

Just a soft light blue or white I think on the RAM and fans

[manic torrent]

it absolutely does not

[unique needle]

just to see how high it can be pushed

and prolly because the cooler is shit tier

[full fossil]

On that specific case too much RGB ruins it I think

It's supposed to be a classy/minimal case

[unique needle]

exactly

[manic torrent]

yeah that's fair - but the thing about rgb is you can turn it off and on 🙂

[full fossil]

Well yeah true

[unique needle]

cant argue that

[vapid smelt]

even when you dont want it to

[full fossil]

Gonna do some soft blues/whites on the fans and ram and then get an AIO with an LCD on the block

Put my temps on it

Will look nice I think

[manic torrent]

I used my 3080ti with the stock cooler for 2 days

[full fossil]

I'm kinda past the unicorn vomit of RGB that I used to be into

I tried Signal before, had some issues with it

Wait no nvm, it was Open RGB

But I'm just circumventing that problem by only buying Corsair and Asus products, that way I can do everything through ICUE

[unique needle]

man my 6750xt is giving me headache my cpu (5700x) never passes more than 60c oc (wraith cooler form my 2700x). my case is an incrediblty well thought out airflow design and i have good fans but the card has zero openings so all the hot air stays inside and the results is over 90 c junction temp with an aggressive uv (so much that its unstable in some situation/games)

[full fossil]

I made the mistake of buying a gigabyte board and gskill ram this time, thinking RGB would be easy

[unique needle]

1200mv down to 1125

[full fossil]

Gigabyte has a room full of apes making their software I swear

[tribal compass]

My pc is in another room so I never get sick of the rgb

[unique needle]

ah i wish to do that some day

[full fossil]

I've just left all mine on default at this point

[vapid smelt]

i turned off all my rgb

[full fossil]

It's hidden by my third monitor anyways so don't really see anything except the front fans which I have a breathing purple

[unique needle]

thats the way haha

So worth it for me in summertime and anytime for noise, air cooled 3080ti playing in 4k is a space heater

rgb is annoyance,

[full fossil]

Yeah as I've gotten older I'm not that into it anymore

[tribal compass]

I used a fiber optic hdmi and a usb extender and powered usb hub

[full fossil]

I bought my PC to play games and stream, not to be a centerpiece or decoration

[unique needle]

i will never again play pc in summertime, 28c room temp is not a great expereince

[full fossil]

@vapid smelt can I borrow 2000$ to buy a strix 4090? ill pay you back in 400 years or less

[unique needle]

seems resonnable

[vapid smelt]

it would make your room 104f in the summer

[full fossil]

it already is

[full fossil]

Jokes on you I run my AC at 68 or less year round

[vapid smelt]

does it not have ac?

[full fossil]

it does sometimes

[tribal compass]

Put my setup in a basement in Michigan so lit, basically like I water cooled my pc for the cost of the fiber hdmi cable, the hub, and an Ethernet cord, I lost like 10-20c

[full fossil]

sometimes it doesnt work

Couple weeks ago my 9900k was idling at 16C

@ 4.7ghz I think

[unique needle]

jokes on you, i proved myself to be a heat resistant type of person........for a specific amount of time tho lol

[tribal compass]

Wut

Custom loop?

[full fossil]

Lmao yeah, it was a combination of my apartment being an ice chest and the water cooling

[heady flicker]

cold front

[full fossil]

put an aio rad in ice bath

[full fossil]

Nope, dual fan Corsair AIO lol

[heady flicker]

I think someone's pc was idling at like -5C

[full fossil]

Christ

[unique needle]

oh i am thinking of bringing a compact pc build in the ice hotel

lol

[full fossil]

Thermal paste choice can make a very small difference sometimes

[unique needle]

someone do it and share results haha

[full fossil]

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is about the best thermal conductivity you can get that isn't liquid metal

It's expensive but I swear by it

[unique needle]

you are using thermal paste or liquid metal ?

[full fossil]

Just paste

[unique needle]

ah yes you answered i guess

[full fossil]

I don't fw liquid metal, I'm too scared of shorting my board lmao

[unique needle]

electical tape to the rescue

[vapid smelt]

whats the smell and taste like?

[manic torrent]

ouch

[full fossil]

Delicious

[unique needle]

poisonous type of taste not bad

[unique needle]

indeed, but well atleast i can cook on it

[full fossil]

Repasted my friends old 2015 PC with it, he's using some garbage single fan air cooler and it was idle at like 27 or 28

[unique needle]

does repasting really helped that much

i mean my gpu is new so i dont think its a paste issue

[full fossil]

But that was idle in BIOS, not the OS so that's about the lowest load possible

[manic torrent]

My 3080ti boosts to 2ghz. It gets to 70C or so, but it's absolutely flying.

[full fossil]

Nah probably not

Unless it slipped by qc at the factory and they pasted it like shit

[vapid smelt]

think of how much higher it could be if you had more than 2 360mm rads 😛

[manic torrent]

no, it isn't. You'll find that the bios will keep it at a fixed state for stability

[manic torrent]

like in an O11 XL 😄

[full fossil]

Does amd use actual paste on their gpus? Or like a pad

[unique needle]

man i dont get, are 6750xt's cooler this bad i mean a 6750xt is an oc'd 6700xt but thats too high temp wise even my shit tier 5600xt gaming mx is better cooled

i guess its the fact that its all open on the sides

but even then its strange

[full fossil]

Dude the Corsair 7000d airflow is where it's at

The amount of fans you can stuff in that thing is great

[static aurora]

Good day, I just want to ask your opinion on the NZXT C750 Semi-modular for my PC specs
Ryzen 5 5600x
B550M Aorus Elite
16gb 8x2 PNY XLR8 RGB
512GB Kingston Gen4 M.2 NVME SSD
Rx 6700xt

[full fossil]

Doesn't have bottom fan support like the lian LI but still

[manic torrent]

perfectly cromulent - Check the PSU tier list though

[manic torrent]

I already have 9, I don't ACTUALLY need more.

[full fossil]

I didn't even know nzxt made power supplies I ain't gonna lie

[static aurora]

saw the c750 on the tier-a single rail list so I'm hoping its good?

[full fossil]

I usually run with Seasonic myself

[manic torrent]

perfect

[unique needle]

judging from the h510 id stay away from them lol

[manic torrent]

Have a rog 750, which is a seasonic

[full fossil]

I'm running a focus GX1000

[manic torrent]

omg I would rather stab myself than build another h510

[full fossil]

Nzxt should have stuck to making monster size cases and nothing else

[static aurora]

is it possible or is it still good for lets say a CPU upgrade to the Ryzen 7 5800x3D with NZXT Kraken?

[full fossil]

The OG phantoms were awesome

[manic torrent]

yep still good.

[unique needle]

funny thing my case is a speed hole mess cause i couldnt find the mesh front panle its a p3000

form phantek

[static aurora]

Thanks a lot bro! helps me a lot, been doing an accurate calculation for this since its a big jump for me from a i3-4160 gtx 1030

[unique needle]

i'd say the holes turned pretty great (please see context lol)

[full fossil]

You could always get the Obsidian 1000D

That thing is just the most ridiculous case lmao

Granted it's meant to house two PCs

[manic torrent]

haha, I mean, I'm using a PBO 5700x at 4.85 and a 3080ti at 2ghz on my 750W

[unique needle]

the new hyte aio would fit atleast lol

[full fossil]

How's the 3080/3080ti holding up? I'm on the fence between going to the 40 series or not for this build

Like I'm considering going more budget friendly this time

[manic torrent]

absolutely perfect tbh. FH5 110fps at extreme 4k

[full fossil]

So I can put more money to other stuff

[unique needle]

do you find vram to be a bottlneck sometimes ? (obviously only for textures)

at 4k?

[full fossil]

I'd still be running 1080 for a while, I just run very high hz

I use a 360hz monitor

[median idol]

7000D is nice. You could fit dual 480s (one front and one side) with that case and a 360 on top (though 420 might be a tight fit and too close for comfort). I've seen a few builds with dual 480 rads in that case

[full fossil]

Would it be a pretty good upgrade from a 2060 you think?

[manic torrent]

only in far cry with HD textures - and that's because far cry is a piece of crap

3080ti has 12gb, which is plenty.

[unique needle]

yeah that was like a slap when i saw 10 gb of vram at 1080p for my gpu while running far cry 6 hd textures

[full fossil]

Yeah it's a really big case, I want one I just would never use that much room

[full fossil]

If I can find one near MSRP I might run with that then

I haven't seen Linus' video on it yet but why does him and everyone else hate the 4070ti so much

[manic torrent]

I got mine for $475 USD used

[manic torrent]

because it's very expensive.

[unique needle]

price to perf ratio is atrocious

oh and 192 bit bus

[full fossil]

Even though it's faster than a 3090ti? I thought 800 would be reasonable

[unique needle]

its not important its supposed to be a 70 class gpu

• 192 bus is more in line for a 60

[full fossil]

Ah I see

[manic torrent]

The market segmentation is fucked

[unique needle]

and, its lies

[manic torrent]

40 series has high end and MORE HIGH ENDERER

[unique needle]

cause on all tests they were using dlss3

[full fossil]

I mean how is the 4080 in that comparison?

[unique needle]

wthout specifying it, so they were marketing this card at being 3* faster than a 3090

[full fossil]

Is that worth it's MSRP?

[manic torrent]

still sucks

[vapid smelt]

so 1200.....

[unique needle]

thats it + msrp dont exist cause no FE

nvdia ******** consumers again

[full fossil]

The 3080?

[manic torrent]

Honestly, buy a 3080ti or 3090/ti used, or a 4090 (or a 7900xtx)

[vapid smelt]

3080ti

[full fossil]

Damn I didn't know it was that much

[vapid smelt]

what the fuck dude you cant fucking swear in this damn chat

[unique needle]

srsly ? sorry for that

[full fossil]

So let's say I want something new what is the best price to performance point?

Like is the 4090 worth what it's costing?

[manic torrent]

shit mate, gotta keep a lid on that sort of fuckin thing

[full fossil]

I'm just trying not to get ripped, you guys know more than me

[static aurora]

4.85 did you overclock or thats the stock clockspeed?

[unique needle]

hum yes no swearing i see

[vapid smelt]

hell no im not

[manic torrent]

that's the max boost speed using PBO with limits off blah blah on my setup.

[unique needle]

honestly please dont jump me yes

if you are in the US yes

[manic torrent]

Stock boost is 4.6.

[unique needle]

Canada its another story

its good price to perf considering the fact that we never saw this much of a gen uplift

but it still is very costly (too much for a gaming card for sure)

[vapid smelt]

if you like to support Nvidia yea

[full fossil]

I just don't really want to use Amd is all

[unique needle]

you do you no explanation needed

[full fossil]

Nvidia can get fucked as far as I'm concerned I just like to have RT and dlss

[unique needle]

yeah, its a fact amd is lacking in that domain

[full fossil]

Like there's no arguing Nvidia has better tech, there's a reason amd is cheaper

Which sucks

[vapid smelt]

amd has that tooo

[unique needle]

YESSSS and the -the --- the software thing too hypr rx

[full fossil]

AMD has ray tracing?

[unique needle]

srsly, even if its gonna be bad i am still happy thy are atleast making all whats possible driver wise

[full fossil]

Ok I'm a jackass then I was unaware

[vapid smelt]

yea since the rtx 6000 series

[unique needle]

ofc they have

tho the 7000 are the first to introduce ai cores

ai dedicated and rt dedicated cores

which means faster rt

but, not enough sadly for 4k gaming

[full fossil]

Ah

[abstract sluice]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K8Rzwc

Is this a good 1500 build

[unique needle]

i mean its enough but you need fsr 2 + not expecting a high refresh rate

unlike the 4090

[full fossil]

Are there any decent prebuilts around with 3080s? Seems like their cost is a bit better in prebuilts

[manic torrent]

buy a 3080ti second hand

[full fossil]

I liked that star forge one but the RAM was a bit shit

[unique needle]

yes the pp balls Linus moment

[manic torrent]

surely they can change the ram though

[full fossil]

I doubt it, I'd have to

But tbh theres not much ddr5 out there that's comparable to ddr4 in terms of latency anyways

[unique needle]

not the slightest

[full fossil]

It had 32gb of ddr5 Cl40 @ 5600

[unique needle]

its not possible yet

[full fossil]

Which is not great

[unique needle]

true but at that speed diff is almost inexistant

[full fossil]

But everything else seemed kinda reasonable imo

[unique needle]

i think

[vapid smelt]

[full fossil]

Like what do you guys think? I'll send hold on

[unique needle]

prebuilts incoming

[full fossil]

https://starforgesystems.com/

Tf wrong link

[unique needle]

shit thir naming tho

[jaunty compass]

starforge is kinda mid

[unique needle]

wow

[full fossil]

https://starforgesystems.com/products/horizon-ii-elite-pc

There

[unique needle]

its like a totally a space theme

[full fossil]

Like is that in line with 2300 dollars?

[unique needle]

ah shit

[vapid smelt]

too much for a 3080 build

[unique needle]

you are getting an i5 at that price

[jaunty compass]

2300 for a pc with a 3080
what the fuck

that price is way too high

[unique needle]

nah too much

[full fossil]

You think? Even with the cost of warranty and build/testing? I try to factor that in

[jaunty compass]

not worth it

[full fossil]

They're giving you two m2s as well

[unique needle]

what m2 curious

[full fossil]

But yeah you're probably right

[jaunty compass]

it's an i5 and a 3080 for 2300. not worth it.

[full fossil]

Some mid team group

[unique needle]

meh

[full fossil]

Why do you people only talk about PC's

[unique needle]

what you wanna talk about then

[jaunty compass]

you're in a linus tech tips server

[unique needle]

WHAT SPIT IT OUT

[full fossil]

This is a discord for LTT lol what else is there to talk about

[unique needle]

come on aint havin all day

[full fossil]

Surprise me xP

[jaunty compass]

I can talk about other things, but like

it's mostly like
fucking beyblades

[unique needle]

hows you're day going ?

[jaunty compass]

I collect those, they're neat

[full fossil]

Beyblades are sick

[neon mesa]

literally 3090ti and i9 range

[full fossil]

I used to have a couple

[jaunty compass]

I collect the beyblades from metal fight, so the ones from 2008-2014
