[neon mesa]

So? It's an x60 card

[quick blade]

still impressive

depend on pricing

[idle skiff]

odds of getting a wan/SC hoodie from the Mystery Hoodie item

[jaunty compass]

golly gee

it's not like i got a good price on my 6600 xt

[neon mesa]

That's like Dunkin on 3060 because it's slower than 2080ti
I mean no shit it's midrange card compared to a flagship just a gen ago

[jaunty compass]

(i did, I got a good deal on it in april of last year)

[neon mesa]

How much

[jaunty compass]

why would you ever recommend for waiting for a 4060 when the price is going to be inflated as hell?

[quick blade]

3060 ti is like a trimmed down 3070 ; 3060 is a very different than 3060 ti

[gilded quest]

I have no reason to buy nvidia at this point. I won't take advantage of CUDA/NVENC/RT. I mostly play eSports/older games and use my pc for general productivity.

[quick blade]

dont get the 3060

get the 3060 ti if u can - but i suggest waiting

[neon mesa]

Ermm it depends?

3060 and the ti pricing is quite far

[jaunty compass]

$300 new in april of 2022

Prices were still high back then, but it was still below msrp

[sage flume]

bruv its nvidia

[quick blade]

nvidia is better than amd in basically everything EXCEPT pricing atm

[sage flume]

when was the last time they tried to make anythign remotely cheap

[neon mesa]

And some might want 3060 4GB more VRAM more than 3060ti

[sage flume]

secondhand 3070 ti

[quick blade]

second hand from where? mining?

[gilded quest]

amd does better raster per dollar

[jaunty compass]

basically, my 6600 xt is fine
i got a good price on it at the time and don't need a new card when the games I play run fine

[quick blade]

that doesnt translate to ingame performance that well

[neon mesa]

Pricing is always Nvidia's Achilles heels

[sage flume]

if ur getting secondhand mining gpus get used 3090 ti for 3070 price

[neon mesa]

Their card is superior in every metric

[gilded quest]

it always depends on the games tho

[quick blade]

amd FX cpu had good cinebench score per dollar - you can see where it led the FX series

[gilded quest]

im fuckin basic and play overwatch and civilization

[quick blade]

FX was terrible for gaming

[neon mesa]

Not many games leverage multi core at the time

[gilded quest]

I am the ideal customer for RDNA

[jaunty compass]

bro do you know what raster is??
why are you making that comparison?

[quick blade]

yes that is true , but most like nvidia

[sage flume]

why does nvidia bother with cuda cores in consumer gpus like it just rasies the price

[quick blade]

because raster doesnt translate to fps as many people think

[gilded quest]

nviddmkm.sys has crashed 🤪

[sage flume]

at this point its just a spec which ppl dont use

[gilded quest]

i have a 12700k lol

[jaunty compass]

most games are rasterized you bozo

FX cpus were basically fake 8 core chips

[gilded quest]

yeah you can't compare RDNA3 to FX

[quick blade]

Ray tracing even today is a gimmick - but dlss and other AI features sell me on nvidia

[gilded quest]

I like real frames and real resolution.

[jaunty compass]

raytracing is a complete gimmick i literally never use

It stays off, right with motion blur

[gilded quest]

The only thing nvidia has going for them is Reflex

[jaunty compass]

FSR and DLSS are something I would use because I have bad eyesight anyway and when I play games, i'm playing games I'm not looking for image artifacts

[gilded quest]

and tbh idk if i can tell the difference of reflex on vs off

[quick blade]

sometimes its not achievable unfortunately

there is no way gtx 1060 can ever run cyberpunk 2077 - FSR gave it a chance

[jaunty compass]

turn off fucking raytracing and play at a reasonable resolution, there, easy

[gilded quest]

I play mostly eSports and older titles at 1440p165hz

[full fossil]

raytracing is a proof of concept

[jaunty compass]

cyberpunk can run on a 1060

[quick blade]

not on the 3GB varient

[ocean narwhal]

matlab can run shit on GPU?

[gilded quest]

cyberpunk could technically run on a PS4

[jaunty compass]

the 3gb isn't a full 1060

[quick blade]

trust me i tried 🤡

[full fossil]

quite interesting the tecnology

[night heron]

real men play at 3840x2160

[full fossil]

lol

[jaunty compass]

it has less cuda cores and half the vram. you can't default to that as a 1060

the 1060 6 gig is the universally accepted 1060

[gilded quest]

yet they really tried to do 4080 12gb

[quick blade]

my class topper has a celeron laptop which he uses for MATLAB

idk how he does it - he is a legend

[jaunty compass]

ada lovelace has been a tire fire

[gilded quest]

i've only used matlab for math labs. all cpu

[ocean narwhal]

apparently u can gpu compute in matlab

[quick blade]

pls dont hurt me this way

[gilded quest]

40-series laptop skus are every more fucked

[ocean narwhal]

the only thing ive used matlab for was our teacher showing us how to do matrix math in it for a circuits class

[gilded quest]

"RTX 4090 Laptop"

[ocean narwhal]

Thank fuck i never have to touch that cursed tech

[quick blade]

thats basic

[night heron]

🫃

[jaunty compass]

"RTX 4090 Laptop"
battery explodes and the pc melts into molten slag

[ocean narwhal]

If i have to do anything else ill just use a better programming language

[quick blade]

people use to say this when nvidia claimed to have ported FULL pascal GPU on laptop

[gilded quest]

ehhh matlab isn't that bad

[quick blade]

1060 razer blade got alot of lash before its release

[jaunty compass]

chasing after ever increasing resolutions and graphics is kinda ruining gaming tbh

[gilded quest]

its a glorified calculator most of the time tho

[ocean narwhal]

Yea

But python is a better calculator

[jaunty compass]

at what point to we acknowledge that making the graphics better won't make the game more fun

[quick blade]

is becomes bad when it decides to crash

[gilded quest]

lol

[ocean narwhal]

but im a programmer so i dont need to do complicated math usually

[jaunty compass]

we don't need 8k garlic textures damnit

[quick blade]

in my engineering degree - i think it was only handful of times matlab did what i wanted to do flawlessly

[gilded quest]

8k ray traced matlab???

[quick blade]

oh no

someone stop this person

[gilded quest]

oh yes

[jaunty compass]

8k skyrim garlic with rtx on

[gilded quest]

i've never played skyrim

[quick blade]

same

[gilded quest]

or any elder scrolls title

[jaunty compass]

i've played too much skyrim

it's kinda mid but i still have like 500 hours in it

[quick blade]

i wasted my youth years on minecraft and vice city

i love vice city

i memorized every street in that game

[gilded quest]

I spent the early 2010s constantly replaying the mass effect series

[indigo mountain]

when i enable uefi my widows doesnt load

[full fossil]

lmao xD

[jaunty compass]

My youth was spent on gmod, skyrim, and minecraft

because those were the games my pc could run

[gilded quest]

big oof

[indigo mountain]

it seems like uefi doesnt read the ssd , maybe i need to choose it

[indigo mountain]

im on the pc rn

i changed it back on legacy

[gilded quest]

is your SSD a MBR partition?

[quick blade]

i tried so hard getting gmod but i wasnt able to get it for free

their forums banned me - apparently they had a clever anti piracy measure Xddd

[jaunty compass]

it was the first game i bought on steam, i think

[gilded quest]

my first steam game was portal 2

[quick blade]

i have yet to get steam xD

[gilded quest]

since the ps3 version included a steam copy...

[quick blade]

moving on...

[indigo mountain]

yes

[gilded quest]

MBR2GPT

[indigo mountain]

im only using ssd currently i havent formatted my hdd

[jaunty compass]

lmao it did?

[indigo mountain]

i think i just need to choose ssd on the settings

brb ill do it

[jaunty compass]

valve was really like
"a ps3? cringe. Take this, king"

[gilded quest]

im pretty sure
i even made my steam account using my ps3 credentials

[jaunty compass]

that's hilarious

[quick blade]

despite ps3 awful cell gpu ; portal on ps3 was great

[jaunty compass]

I knew valve hated the ps3 but man

[gilded quest]

on the contrary...

[quick blade]

yes

[gilded quest]

they were happy to work with sony lol

[quick blade]

money

[jaunty compass]

maybe by the time portal 2 launched

[gilded quest]

well

I didn't get a PS3 till late 2010

[jaunty compass]

Gabe Newell went on the record saying "I think [PS3 is] a waste of everybody's time."

[quick blade]

yes that is true

[gilded quest]

so at that time their feelings may have been different to launch times

[quick blade]

but add money to the equation

[jaunty compass]

valve didn't even do the orange box themselves on ps3

[pliant karma]

lol first game I got was Dead By Daylight...I question my "Relaxed" games list

[jaunty compass]

portal 2 released 5 years after the launch of the ps3

[quick blade]

portal for RTX is heavier than cyberpunk in terms of requirements - i read this on facebook ; not sure if this is true

[jaunty compass]

by then the architecture was more understood and everyone was more used to games being multithreaded at all

[gilded quest]

my first games were Portal 2, SWBF2 classic, Civ V

[pliant karma]

COD ain't a relax game but it's just there

[jaunty compass]

this is true, portal rtx runs like shit on everything

[plush rivet]

Depends on how you play it

[jaunty compass]

and frankly it looks bad

[gilded quest]

how tf is uno relaxed

[plush rivet]

It can be a relaxing experience or a hellhole

[pliant karma]

and Phasmophobia is just pure yelling for me/screaming

[quick blade]

i find minecraft relaxing

[plush rivet]

I think everyone does honestly

[leaden gale]

I remember watching a video about this very topic LMAO

[quick blade]

only "relaxing" game in my "library"

[pliant karma]

me holding onto a +4 or +2 or one of those color changing cards till the end to place it

oh and in Phasmo I just casually play my soundboard sooo it's just me trolling

[leaden gale]

The PS3's Cell architecture was super fucking cool - as long as you took the time to really understand how to put it to use, which no one really wanted to do

[quick blade]

a good friend of mine went crazy after loosing in monopoly - after that i avoided card based games entirely

[jaunty compass]

around the ps3 launch
gabe said "I think [PS3 is] a waste of everybody's time. Investing in the Cell, investing in the SPE gives you no long-term benefits. There's nothing there that you're going to apply to anything else. You're not going to gain anything except a hatred of the architecture they've created. I don't think they're going to make money off their box. I don't think it's a good solution."

He only changed his tune later because of money, i think. By then the ps3 was more well understood and the console was actually selling units because of heavy price cuts

[quick blade]

for research purposes , yes ; it was developed with IBM

[jaunty compass]

for multiplats, you couldn't really take advantage of it effectively

ps3 often had the worst versions of multiplat games

[quick blade]

IBM watson was suppose to run on cell arch

[gilded quest]

ehhh

PS3 also had some pretty good looking games for the time

[jaunty compass]

the games started looking good near the end

[indigo mountain]

hey navy does uefi or legacy affect gaming performance in any way?

[quick blade]

basically IBM and SONY had different goals with cell ; neither of them acheived their goal

[leaden gale]

Reminder that fucking Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was a native PS3 title

[jaunty compass]

but at the start it was really rough

[gilded quest]

i dont think so

[leaden gale]

And Revengeance is goated

[jaunty compass]

the ps3 was priced way too high at launch
frankly, the ps5 is priced too high and so is the XSX

if they let me run linux on it, i'd pay $500 for a console

[leaden gale]

It shouldn't, though why you wouldn't use UEFI given the choice is beyond me

[gilded quest]

PS3 Slim was the true ps3 imo

[quick blade]

ni

[full fossil]

but the cell was really very good in a beowulf

[jaunty compass]

ps3 slim didn't have linux or ps2 backwards compat

[leaden gale]

PS3s before the Linux-killing update: bonjour

[quick blade]

thicc ps3 has backward compatability

[gilded quest]

the Slim was the better console

[quick blade]

u can run ps1 ps2 games on the THICC ps3

[gilded quest]

the OG fat PS3 was more interesting and cooler; but a worse console

it was too expensive

[jaunty compass]

it used the spiderman font lol

[leaden gale]

Not every PS3 Phat has PS2 back compat

[quick blade]

the first mighty THICC ones did

[jaunty compass]

the slim ps3 was way more reasonably priced, i have a modded ps3 slim

[gilded quest]

also the OG DS3 were so trash

[quick blade]

i dont think they allow to talk about moding on this server

[leaden gale]

Yes, but then they made thicc models without PS2 back compat

[jaunty compass]

I hate the playstation controllers

I have a third party playstation controller that uses the xbox layout

[indigo mountain]

uefi & legacy or just uefi

[jaunty compass]

what?

[gilded quest]

PS4/PS5 are a lot better than PS1-3

[quick blade]

its stupid ik - but piracy and modding can get u kicked here

homebrews

[gilded quest]

I prefer the playstation stick layout

[leaden gale]

Sure they do, it's discussing DRM circumvention that's not allowed

[jaunty compass]

piracy =/= modding

[quick blade]

99% of people mod their consoles for piracy

xD

[jaunty compass]

if you think they're the same thing

go back to the nintendo corner where you belong, goofy ass

[leaden gale]

You're really misinformed if you think that's the case

I modded my Wii to back up my discs AND to play fucking CTGP-R and Project M

[quick blade]

idk how mod will react but i used to JB phones and crack consoles and service for people during my teen years

modding is my domain < 3

[leaden gale]

There's literally nothing wrong with this

[jaunty compass]

frankly, fuck apple for making it so you have to jailbreak their stupid fucking phones to begin with

[leaden gale]

Nothing in the rules says you can't talk about modding, it's DRM circumvention that's the problem

[fossil frost]

yeah, everyone did, thats just what people do at that age

[quick blade]

helped me make quick money that age

[jaunty compass]

modding a console has tons of benefits, like save data backups, game mods, custom themes, being able to play dvds or play games region free, running alternative operating systems like linux, supporting controllers from different consoles

and tons more stuff i haven't even mentioned

[quick blade]

newer iphones in US dont hav sim slot - they are forever locked on a carrier

so much E waste

[quick blade]

yess custom themess ahhhh

[jaunty compass]

Fuck apple^2

modding consoles usually adds features that are supported by the hardware but just don't get added

Like a web browser on switch

they literally have one that works but intentionally don't let you use it and even removed features from it once people found a way to use it

[quick blade]

im happy valve is open about their handheld - they placed no measure to stop people to run windows on the thing

[jaunty compass]

the deck is just a pc

as it should be

[leaden gale]

They don't want kiddos accessing the Hub on le Switch, and I'm okay with that

[quick blade]

im waiting for good emulators to pop up for valve - PSP has a very rich library

i wish to play psp games on the steam deck

[jaunty compass]

...you do know that ppsspp is a thing, right

[leaden gale]

My brother in Christ, this is what EmuDeck is for

[quick blade]

yes ; its buggy on steamdeck

ive tried - no workey

[leaden gale]

That's an emulator issue

[jaunty compass]

ah yes, parental controls do not exist

[quick blade]

yes

[leaden gale]

They don't trust parents enough to know how to actually do that

[jaunty compass]

completely stop all users from accessing the internet to "protect" the children (try to stop web browser exploits from happening again)

[leaden gale]

Yep, definitely the latter

[jaunty compass]

that's the real reason, because every time they have a web browser on their console, it leads to an exploit

[quick blade]

yes

[jaunty compass]

the user experience suffers because a company wants to keep their walled garden intact, and of course it's perfect that the switch has a hardware exploit anyway lmaooo

[quick blade]

no matter what they do , people will find a way

[leaden gale]

I forget, where is the exploit for the 3DS derived from

[jaunty compass]

which one

[quick blade]

card

[jaunty compass]

there are many

[leaden gale]

The one recommended by the guide nowadays

[quick blade]

i use the card one

[leaden gale]

I forgor

[jaunty compass]

right now i'm pretty sure it's from a DS mode exploit

[quick blade]

soft crack

[jaunty compass]

and seedminer, right?

[quick blade]

i dont know what it is called ; it was in russian

[jaunty compass]

not you

[quick blade]

i just know how we did it

[jaunty compass]

yeah, right now it's seedminer

you did the flash cart exploit probably

[quick blade]

is selling of modded consoles legal?

[jaunty compass]

yes

[leaden gale]

I just checked, it's fucking BannerBomb3

Which exposes movable.sed

[quick blade]

universally?

[leaden gale]

For Seedminer

[jaunty compass]

i mean, probably not in japan

[leaden gale]

Wait no, it's the other way around

[quick blade]

my country doesnt care what copyright says ; so no check and balance on these things

[leaden gale]

Use Seedminer to get movable.sed, and then BannerBomb3 exploits to install boot9strap

[quick blade]

90% of all consoles sold in my country are modded

[jaunty compass]

console modding isn't really a copyright thing

[quick blade]

yes - i added that as in addition to modding

they just dont care Xd

[jaunty compass]

modding consoles is illegal in japan

just another reason for me to hate nintendo tbh

[quick blade]

i didnt grew up with their consoles so i dont have any feelings for them except anger cuz of what they do with their old games

so many 3DS games were released as digital only

they are all gone when the store closed

[jaunty compass]

the secret ingredient is crime

[quick blade]

yes but... nintendo

they dont like game preservation

[leaden gale]

Which is why game preservation is so important. There's a reason the Internet Archive (yes, that Internet Archive) has the entire 3DS library backed up and available.

[jaunty compass]

internet archive my beloved

[quick blade]

yes , i was shocked when i saw that

they also have the full original gta trilogy ; people went there after rockstar removed it from steam xDDDDD

[leaden gale]

And the Wii library. And the Wii U library. And the DS library. Pretty much anything from the Wii U/3DS era and earlier is on the IA

[jaunty compass]

i've uploaded some stuff to the IA before

[quick blade]

nice , like?

[jaunty compass]

4 volumes of the metal fight beyblade manga that were previously considered lost media

[quick blade]

wow amazing

[jaunty compass]

no scans existed anywhere online other than the ones I had managed to track down

don't ask how, you don't want to know

[quick blade]

👀

[jaunty compass]

by that I mean the only scans of these things that existed digitally anywhere were in a weird 3ds homebrew program on some russian FTP

[quick blade]

i uploaded tons of my engineering books on various websites ; most books were taken down

[jaunty compass]

I extracted all of the assets and uploaded the raw scans to the IA

[quick blade]

education should not be paywalled

i never considered uploading them to IA... hmmm

do you think they will allow me uploading textbooks?

my university keeps all books on their intranet service since online hosting websites took them down since its illegal i believe

[wanton glade]

Wait wat

All this shit is so cool

[full fossil]

thats true

[storm coral]

Guys how do yall ship to countries that amazon doesn't deliver to?

[gilded quest]

simple
i live in america

[full fossil]

you mean, other websites like ebay?

[full fossil]

hmm

[storm coral]

No like deliver from amazon to my not supported country

[full fossil]

oh, I think you can buy from amazon and then they just send to your mail provider

[storm coral]

Wdym

[full fossil]

like here in brazil, if I buy a phone from ebay for example, the phone arrive in the border and then the mail provider just deliver to my house

[quick blade]

aliexpress

we use alternatives

aliexpress delivers even in north korea so yea

[full fossil]

oh waw

[quick blade]

bing chilling

[full fossil]

🦑

[jaunty compass]

wait really?

aliexpress:

just found out that the steam deck and other handheld pcs like it actually have their own classification

they're called ultra mobile pcs

or UMPCs

[full fossil]

cool

[storm coral]

Isn't it sketchy

[jaunty compass]

not really
it's like ebay but based in china

[full fossil]

I think it has buyer protection so dont have to worry

[jaunty compass]

it has buyer protection

I got sent fake beyblades one time and aliexpress gave me a refund for all of them

[full fossil]

nice

[leaden gale]

Based AliExpress, they look out for Bladers across the globe

[jaunty compass]

indeed

it was like $65 worth too, so i'm very glad they gave a refund

[long briar]

Thing with Aliexpress is that it sometimes takes a while to ship... and yes there are fake listings but that's the same with every site. Just compare the store that is selling it and see how many followers and % of positive reviews

and if it seems too good to be true then it probably is

but otherwise aliexpress gives your money back 75 days after ordering if it doesn't show up or isn't what you payed for

and has been pretty reliable for that guarantee in my experience

[jaunty compass]

depending on what seller you buy from, the shipping can either be relatively reasonable, like a week for it to get to your door, or absolutely insane; like two months

[sonic barn]

2 months

AliExpress is really good for replacement parts

Better than ebay

Except motherboards

[neon mesa]

a week is where i draw the line for shipment time

which is why i only buy online where it is not far away

waiting 2 months for shit is just crazy

[quick blade]

sometimes there is no choice

also its very very very vague

[neon mesa]

give me an example

[quick blade]

i ordered fidget spinners back in 2018 - they came in 15 days

[neon mesa]

15 days is still 2 weeks

i can order and it comes next day

[quick blade]

better than nothing

[quick blade]

privilege xD

[neon mesa]

how exactly?

[quick blade]

not in that way exactly dont get the wrong meaning

but * most *countries dont have stores where vast variety of stuff is available

more than half of humanity lives in the "third world" countries - personally i find this tern derogating ; i prefer developing country

[neon mesa]

i live in one

[quick blade]

where

[neon mesa]

prefer to not say exactly but somewhere in southeat asia

not singapore

[quick blade]

malay?

indo?

[neon mesa]

as i said i'm not giving details

[quick blade]

okay i understand ; i get the idea

there is so much variety in aliexpress

many options

my friend once ordered custom LEDs ; he got a mail legit saying "Package fell in sea" xDDDDD

[quick blade]

after 2 weeks

[full fossil]

my brother ordered a series s and it came in 23 days

[quick blade]

how was it

[summer orchid]

fishes be getting a full pc build

[quick blade]

yesss RGB fishesss

glofish

thats a real thing btw

[full fossil]

dont know exacly where he bought but was the only option

pretty much

[summer orchid]

everybody gangsta until the fgl comes out

fish gaming league

im so funny

[winter spindle]

It’s as shrimple as that

[winter spindle]

It was pretty funny

[summer orchid]

imagine having a server and not being in it

[winter spindle]

Limnus better join

[summer orchid]

limnuts would never

[paper dawn]

Anyone with an i9 13900k that has played dead space remake?

[molten drift]

I really hate when you order something on Etsy and the seller takes forever to ship

[mortal gate]

i heard a loud snap in my pc is it okay

my ram snapped in two

unlimited ram glitch

[polar fern]

@molten drift I’ve actually figured out what causes this

[molten drift]

No like the seller has not stated it shipped.

And I ordered it on the 22nd...

I messaged them. And am waiting for a response

[idle moat]

my ltt screwdriver arrived lets gooo

[bronze wolf]

fr, i ordered something for my hamster once and it took the person like a month to ship it

[bronze wolf]

when did you order it?

[polar fern]

There are shortages of literally everything everywhere. And then on top of the shortages, the prices keep bouncing all over the place. Etsy creators have to balance product availability of their own raw materials and pricing and their own personal finances. They have not shipped because they are shipping a whole bunch of stuff all at once

[idle moat]

september 1st

[bronze wolf]

Yeah I think that’s what did with thing, it was just a big shipping day

[idle moat]

i was in wave 4 for the black shaft one

[bronze wolf]

oh wow that took a bit

[polar fern]

Wave 4?

[molten drift]

It was a stand for a Wii mote...

[polar fern]

Yes

Every Etsy seller that I know mails like 20 things at a time

[rocky pulsar]

the only problem with aliexpress refunds is that they take FOREVER

[polar fern]

They do not ship things piecemeal, typically

[rocky pulsar]

i got scammed once on aliexpress and it took me at leasts 3+ weeks for a refund

[jaunty compass]

Mine took a couple days

[rocky pulsar]

i didnt even recieve my product

[polar fern]

AliExpress is like a fun place to look at, but I would never purchase

[jaunty compass]

I did and sent pictures that proved they were fake

So I got my refund fast

[rocky pulsar]

i had to explain that my address was not in fact blumenau brazil

then it took an extra week before my refund processed

[polar fern]

Well then

[rocky pulsar]

i bought all my keyboard stuff from aliexpress cause usually it doesnt have mad issues

[polar fern]

Typical refund process can take 7-10 business days on their end & then a possible another 7-10 business days for your bank etc. anything faster is good luck

Need to dust that thing & tape up the grilles & put it in a corner in the closet

[twin raptor]

Guy in front of me on bus is watching ltt

Im watching over his shoulder lol

[full fossil]

dont be a creeper dude

[rocky pulsar]

minecraft's grim reaper

[hollow pulsar]

So I realized something... you know how in Minecraft the enderman pick up blocks and randomly placed them?

This is the exact behavior of a young child.

[rocky pulsar]

interesting

[pine grove]

What's the best 140MM fans without RGB

[leaden gale]

Yes.

[leaden gale]

[pine grove]

I'll look those up
Thank You

[wanton glade]

Yo guys, is it common for a headache/migraine to last for years ? Literally years, not joking

[sonic barn]

No

After like 1 week it's not normal

[fossil frost]

after about 3 days, you should probably see a doctor

a year, and you are probably too late to see a doctor

[sonic barn]

1 month and er will probably take you fast

[wanton glade]

Oh ok. How am I still alive, I wonder...

Maybe my months of abuse which resulted in a total ignoring of physical pain whatsoever ? Maybe... Who knows...

Whatever, it's probably nothing. (No it is not, I'm gonna see a doctor asap)

[wraith sonnet]

dumb question, anyone know how to stress test a wifi card?

[full fossil]

donwloading a steam game?

[full fossil]

The ring guy xD

[gilded quest]

thats not a bad way

[full fossil]

if you have a decent connection could stress a little

[gilded quest]

You could do a client to client transfer test on your network

[full fossil]

yoo

[full fossil]

Lol, hello

helo

Lol

[full fossil]

true

thats a better way

[long briar]

longest shipment that's taken for me that I didn't get a refund for was 1 month

most of my stuff has been around 14 days though

including 3 sets of iems...

but it's a lot of wack stuff

lens hoods, thermal tape, keycapsetc.

[sonic barn]

It's different in Canada it's 2 months freighters

Some of the warehouses are in USA but we can only ship from china mainly

[wraith sonnet]

anyone know why noctua.at keeps crashing?

[full fossil]

it crashes on your phone?

[wraith sonnet]

no the website keeps saying too many requests

click on the press section

noctua.at/en/press

did I miss something from them other than the am5 update for the nh-l9a?

[full fossil]

it doesnt open here

the page doesnt load

try changing your dns

[fossil frost]

or.... try leaving your dns alone and realise that their website is taking too many requests in general right now and no matter what you change your end... THEIR servers are still swamped

[wraith sonnet]

yeah I was trying to figure out if there was something that I missed on their site.

[full fossil]

[fossil frost]

well... they wont have "the world is ending" or "this is the secret to eternal life" on there... so.. its probably something that can wait until later

Whats the goat gpu in yalls opinion

[tepid bolt]

1080ti

[opal pulsar]

I agree

The 1080 ti is the goat

[tepid bolt]

It was a mistake Nvidia will never make again

[opal pulsar]

They made a card too good

And it wasnt costing half your liver

I kinda wanna get a 1080 ti and 1080 one day

[pure bobcat]

hi

[tawdry pecan]

what would need to happen for Nvidia to drop the prices for a xx90 class card at launch?

[full fossil]

1630

[opal pulsar]

Nvidia is too greedu

Greedy

[night heron]

competition from either intel or amd

[tepid bolt]

AMD would need to offer more performance at like half the price

[opal pulsar]

3060 ti last good value card.

[tepid bolt]

3060ti wasn't good value

It never hit msrp

On paper it was better value than say a 2018 rx 580

[opal pulsar]

Sorry i mean used

[tepid bolt]

Yeah no

[tawdry pecan]

it honestly feels like AMD is okay with the status quo because they can charge higher prices for their lower tier GPUs too 😦

[opal pulsar]

New? Probably a 6600xt

Best value i think

[tepid bolt]

Used rx 6600xt too

[opal pulsar]

Good value

Like 230 bucks

[full fossil]

@night heron Michael

[opal pulsar]

For a good modern card

[night heron]

Biggie the Cheese

[tepid bolt]

Exactly, if they wanted marketshare by brute force they could've priced the 7900xtx at $899 and the 7900xt at $699

[night heron]

people underestimate gpus heavily

a $250 6650xt is better than a 1080Ti which most people wouldve killed for just a few years ago

and most people are still playing the same old easy to run games

[tepid bolt]

Exactly what happened to me

Used to buy flagship gpus

[slate tulip]

we're working on it!

[tepid bolt]

Now I only buy entry level because I don't need anything more

[opal pulsar]

I dont know what makes a gpu the goat

But the 1080 ti just feels like its the goat

[hidden fable]

ur not wrong that it still kicks

[tawdry pecan]

and I went the complete opposite path, I would buy entry level because I couldn't afford anything else as a teen. Now I have a 4090 and a 4K 240hz screen....

[night heron]

samsung odyssey neo g8 user

[tepid bolt]

Last flagship I bought was an r9 290x

[slate tulip]

right? I remember that was like a career/life milestone for me - When I was young, it was hard to get a GPU just good enough to play the game all my friends were, at minimum settings. I finally got a point where I could buy the latest greatest GPU with my disposable income

[abstract sluice]

Is it ok to get a used PSU or will there be problems

[night heron]

i had never bought a flagship gpu before my 6900xt in 2022

[opal pulsar]

Do you want a bomb

[wind pulsar]

Buying used = Buying bomb

[abstract sluice]

I’m getting a i9-13900k so yes at this point

[opal pulsar]

Nah just test it before using it on your main rig, talk to the seller, test it on their pc

[opal pulsar]

A powersupply? But it was a joke lol

[tawdry pecan]

Same here 🤣 But now instead of my friends making fun of me for having shit hardware, they make fun of me for wasting money on hardware.

They just jealous 😛

[opal pulsar]

Im tryna scrape by whatever i can from my shitty job to build a mid range pc later this year

[opal pulsar]

[tawdry pecan]

I've started saving this year for a down payment for a house, so no more big purchases for me 🤷

[hidden fable]

I luckily live with my friends so i dont have to pay rent

[tepid bolt]

[tawdry pecan]

chipsets do though

[hidden fable]

ive settled with my 5800X

gonna wait a while for next jump

[opal pulsar]

Ill get a 3700x from ebay

[opal pulsar]

Cpu z can tell you if its fake right?

[onyx folio]

Watch Dogs: Legion is on sale for $12 on steam

[plush rivet]

I love watchdogs to death, but I hate legion

I’ve been the biggest fan of watch dog and played both but I hated the idea of legion

[onyx folio]

I've played both also, I haven't played or seen anything about Legion (on purpose). Just thought $12 wasn't a bad price for a newer game

[jaunty compass]

how do you fake a cpu

that's like

not a thing you can really do

[opal pulsar]

I heard people etch a fake name onto a weaker cpu

🤷

[plush rivet]

Idk I hated the gimic of having multiple different characters

[jaunty compass]

i've never heard of people doing a scam like that because of how easy it would be to spot tbh

[plush rivet]

That legit never happens

[opal pulsar]

Ah cool then

[plush rivet]

that’s such a rare thing to happen honeslty

[jaunty compass]

yeah, i've never heard of anyone doing that

[plush rivet]

the worst thing you can get from a used cpu is it being dead

[jaunty compass]

i've seen people swap IHSes like once or twice

[plush rivet]

which again is rare on its own

[jaunty compass]

never personally, though

[plush rivet]

most of the time used CPUs are perfectly fine. Mine is used and it’s fine

[opal pulsar]

I could contact ebay for that if the seller claims it works right

[plush rivet]

Yes you can always get your money back

[opal pulsar]

Good

[plush rivet]

if it’s broken you can immediately ask for your money back

honestly sellers get scammed more then buyers

[jaunty compass]

the only thing that might happen is like

it could be an ES chip or something? i've seen scams where they sell cheap ES chips they got somehow as retail ones but that's not common either

with cpus i never really see scams going on tbh

[onyx folio]

It only works if you build the backstory for the character's

[jaunty compass]

gpus are a very different story

[opal pulsar]

Thats why you get them locally if you can

To test them to see if they are good

[plush rivet]

Eh if you find a good seller it not as bad as before

Rarely these days do people REALLY get scammed

when 3000 came out is a different story

[opal pulsar]

Rtx 450 😆

[jaunty compass]

who is this bozo on ebay
some clown is trying to sell a steam machine with an i3-4170T for $500

that doesn't even boot

there are working ones with i7s for less on ebay right above this idiot's listing

[opal pulsar]

Steam machine? The consoles valve made that flopped?

[jaunty compass]

well
technically it wasn't valve that made them but yes

other companies made the steam machines

steam os was kinda bad 💀

Steam OS 3 is actually decent

[opal pulsar]

The one deck uses?

[jaunty compass]

deck uses steam os 3, yeah

[opal pulsar]

Yes

[jaunty compass]

old steam OS was based on debian 8 and was very outdated

[opal pulsar]

I keep hearing mined gpus arent bad and i keep hearing they are, which is it?

[jaunty compass]

gpus that were used for mining are fine as long as they were properly taken care of

[slate tulip]

just use Intel Arc - problem solved

[jaunty compass]

but they had to have been properly taken care of, that's the sticking point

if they were in some dusty chinese warehouse mining for like 2 years while overheating, that's probably not the card you want to buy

[opal pulsar]

Naww i found this local listing for a 1030

[jaunty compass]

what?

[opal pulsar]

"Usable for gaming if you have an igpu"

[jaunty compass]

that's dumb

whats a good alternative to karbly from ikea?

its a little expensive

i dont know what karbly is

[pine goblet]

Does the Floatplane Android app have Chromecast built-in?

[dreamy rose]

SteamOS 3 just needs the Desktop release.

[dreamy rose]

buy

[modern pier]

ok

[jaunty compass]

basically identical

you won't notice the difference iirc

[modern pier]

alright. looking for a friend but thanks for the advice 👍

[jaunty compass]

you can make up the performance difference with a mild overclock

[jaunty compass]

personally, i'd just tell them to grab a used 6700 xt on ebay

[modern pier]

yeah they seem a bit worried about having the gpu die and other second hand stuff though

[jaunty compass]

well

[dreamy rose]

buy any radeon thats not a 6500 or below is what i'd say.

[jaunty compass]

i say 6700 xt specifically because it's the best performance/$
especially a used one

[modern pier]

6500 xt is kind of a no go

so ofc

[jaunty compass]

it's around $320 (USD) for a 6700 xt on ebay

[dreamy rose]

unless they find a Mining card then theres no real reason to worry about a card dying Quickly

[modern pier]

hm yeah alright ill try to convince them

[jaunty compass]

most used cards atm are going to be mining cards, also; just make sure that they're a seller with good reviews on the cards. mining cards are fine as long as they were taken care of properly

[modern pier]

looking to pair with a 12400/12400f depending on which is cheaper

[dreamy rose]

if absolutely necessary, a 5700XT might do the trick but go with a 6600 or above

[jaunty compass]

a 5700 xt is a way better choice than a 6500 xt or a 6600

[vapid smelt]

5700xt is stronger than the rx 6600

[jaunty compass]

the 5700 xt is cheaper and faster than 6600 on the used markets

[modern pier]

6600 xt?

[jaunty compass]

5700 xt has equal perf with 6600 xt

it just doesn't have RT

[vapid smelt]

non xt it trades blows with the rx 6600xt

[modern pier]

ah okay i dont think he cares about rt like many people

[jaunty compass]

RT is a meme anyway who cares about not having it

most people don't care about RT

[modern pier]

i mean its kinda cool but not practical

[jaunty compass]

most people never turn it on even a single time, it's a meme

raytracing is still just a meme

[modern pier]

i sometimes think its only so nvidia can say they're new gpu is 3x faster than the previous one when effectively it's not in non rt

their i mean grammar gone out the window

[vapid smelt]

i probably wont use RT unless it matches rasterization or beats it

[dreamy rose]

Thats DLSS

[jaunty compass]

right now nvidia is using DLSS as a crutch to make ada lovelace look good, because they're artificially locking older cards from using the newer dlss versions

[dreamy rose]

and yes Nvidia leans heaviliy into the bullshit and everyone eats it up

[modern pier]

dlss 3 + rt on new one and no dlss + rt on the previous one

[jaunty compass]

it's an entirely artificial restriction

[modern pier]

plus a bit of lying here and there

[jaunty compass]

nvidia likes to impliment entirely artificially restrictions a lot, it seems

[modern pier]

but how else will they get lots of money 😢

they love money

[jaunty compass]

make good products

at good prices

[modern pier]

oh yeah nvidia doesnt seem to like that one though

[dreamy rose]

Which is why i'll tell people to Buy Radeon because when they get more users and more cards being sold the more they feel like they need to participate in actions of Anti Consumerism

fuck Nvidia. Radeon is cool and we need to get these iGPUs onto Desktop chips

[modern pier]

i got a 1660 ti off a friend after he upgraded to a 3070 about 7 months ago so i didnt technically give nvidia any more money

[unkempt widget]

hi

[jaunty compass]

as a steam deck owner, an igpu that's as fast as a gtx 1050 is pretty fucking cool

especially when the cpu and gpu combined only draw 15 watts

[full fossil]

Does any1 know why wanshowbingo isn't working?

[jaunty compass]

like

it's really impressive to me

[dreamy rose]

you give them another user. even if you dont give them money

[dreamy rose]

no. not really. the 680M is faster and lags behind somewhat.

[modern pier]

crap

[dreamy rose]

Steam Decks a little weaker. its 8 CUs vs 12 in the 680M

[dreamy rose]

dont worry. we'll hopefully have a great Cheap CPU and GPU upgrade soon.

[jaunty compass]

Compared to a GTX 1050? I'm pretty sure you're wrong here

[modern pier]

i wont be buying a gpu for a long time though

[jaunty compass]

The steam deck's rdna 2 igpu performs right around a 1050

[dreamy rose]

an APU.

[modern pier]

amd can't be praised, they're not some sort of savior here

i mean kinda but

[dreamy rose]

i hadent checked in a while my bad

[jaunty compass]

Obviously there's a lot more to factor in. An igpu is very different from a dedicated GPU; but looking at real world tests the deck performs slightly above a 1050 in cyberpunk 2077

[dreamy rose]

ok so 780M is gonna destroy the 1060 6GB

[jaunty compass]

that's.

quite a leap

[modern pier]

i'd love a powerful 2060-level apu in a cpu at a sane price i don't like more fans in a system than absolutely necassary

[dreamy rose]

they need to be Praised for making the good products.

[jaunty compass]

incorrect

[modern pier]

but with stuff like the Ryzen 4500 and 5500 it's a bit hard for me

[jaunty compass]

they're still a for profit company, they don't release products that are priced better out of the goodness of their heart

[dreamy rose]

you're going on about how their IGPUs are good but now saying they dont deserve the Praise that gets them?

[jaunty compass]

and even then, the pricing is only a bit better

and yes, i am

[modern pier]

they're not "bad" but with the 12100 beating or matching them

[jaunty compass]

you shouldn't praise a company for doing what they have to to be competitive, they're legally required to

they have to operate in the interest of the shareholders, legally speaking

which means making competitive products

[dreamy rose]

they are One and Two generations old at this point i think its safe to say that that shouldn't be held against them when one competitors product is better than a 2 generation old product at the mid Range

[jaunty compass]

the 12100 is also a generation old

[dreamy rose]

Doesnt mean they should be disappointed when it defeats the 4000 generation's mid range. i mean. come on.

[jaunty compass]

the 4500 released in april of 2022

the 12100 released in January of that year

[dreamy rose]

if its a 4000 series then its Zen 2.

[jaunty compass]

yeah. and amd released it that way

[dreamy rose]

ofc zen 2 isnt gonna be that good.

[jaunty compass]

they're right to be dissapointed

[vapid smelt]

amd is weird

[dreamy rose]

you cant be disappointed when Alder lake beats Zen 2 thats pointless

[vapid smelt]

but you can they where released at the same time at a similar cost

[jaunty compass]

bro

the i3 12100 beats the r5 4500 in multicore, and single core

the i3 12100 has 2 less cores than the 4500

they released around the same time and the 12100 was cheaper

[fringe sluice]

is amd known for the graphics driver crashing or do i need to update it

[jaunty compass]

they can be dissapointed

[vapid smelt]

THE SAME PRICE as a i3 12100

[dreamy rose]

that's cause Zen 2 is OLDER than Alder Lake. thats what i've been saying. of course its gonna be weaker.

[jaunty compass]

then it's amd's fault for releasing it

[vapid smelt]

the r5 4500 was released AFTER the i3 12100 at the same price of $129

[jaunty compass]

they can be disappointed with a new product being significantly worse than one that's a few months old.
the 12100 released months before the 4500

[vapid smelt]

amd fucked up

[jaunty compass]

get some better takes tbh

[ripe patrol]

arguable, you spent more on the lga1700 for the intel; whereas the 4500 was cheap old mobos...

[dreamy rose]

yeah. but if you Expected Zen 2. (which is 3 years old) to compete with Alder lake from a year ago. you need to lower your Expectations then.

[vapid smelt]

true

[jaunty compass]

then they shouldn't be releasing an obsolete product.

because the r5 4500 was obsolete when it launched

[vapid smelt]

we dont give a fuck about the architecture! we care about when it was released and at what price

[jaunty compass]

it was a bad product at a bad price, it was a dissapointment

[vapid smelt]

the r5 4500 was released AFTER the i3 12100 at the SAME price and performed WORSE

[dreamy rose]

Zen 2 isn't obsolete. its still Viable in shit like handhelds. it has its place and that isn't to compete with the newest Architectures. thats what Zen 4 is for.

[jaunty compass]

I'm referring to the 4500.
It was an obsolete product when it launched, and was months before it launched

It was a bad product at a bad price

[dreamy rose]

doesn't mean you should be disappointed when it doesn't perform against a Faster and more efficient Architecture chip.

[jaunty compass]

it literally fucking does

[vapid smelt]

but it was the same price and came after it!

[jaunty compass]

you're actually deluded

the r5 4500 came out after and at the same price and was slower

it was objectively worse than the competition and was a disappointment

[ripe patrol]

covid milk the chip shortage release - accept it move forward be glad you didn't buy one lol

[jaunty compass]

the 3600 was faster than the 4500

amd's last gen zen 2 product was faster than the new one when they were barely like half a tier apart

[dreamy rose]

what does that matter when you KNOW for a FACT its going to be slower because its using some OLDER technology.

[jaunty compass]

also
the 4500 didn't even support pcie gen 4
when zen 2 already does

[vapid smelt]

so if amd made a product that performed like a r7 3700x renamed it the R7 4700x and sold it for $300 would you be disappointed?

[jaunty compass]

the 3600 had pcie 4

[dreamy rose]

you Manage your Expectations. you dont expect everything to be Neck and Neck.

[jaunty compass]

the 4500 was objectively bad

it was worse than intel's current offerings at the same price at the time, and worse than amd's offerings from the gen prior

[dreamy rose]

i wont deny it shit. but i wont Deny the fact that people need to manage their Expectations on what Older thing vs newer thing does for a Product.

[vapid smelt]

the price as the same as the faster i3 12100

[jaunty compass]

then stop acting like being disappointed with it when it was specifically targeted to compete at that price point is unreasonable

you probably think the 6500 xt is an okay purchase, too

[dreamy rose]

So? its a shit product. to be expected.

Zen 2 isnt going to magically beat Alder Lake

[vapid smelt]

you can have a shit product at a reasonable price

[dreamy rose]

pff. please i'm not braindead

[stray apex]

1600af was good
Because even though it was way slower than the fastest chips
It was like $100

But if 1600af was $200

It would be an insult to the sand they murdered to fab it

[vapid smelt]

cant even beat the r5 3600 both are on zen 2

[jaunty compass]

it doesn't even support pcie gen 4 💀

[vapid smelt]

lets make a budget cpu to pair with our rx 6500xt

[vapid smelt]

even gets beat by OLDER zen+

for the low low price of 1 i3 12100

Hello

[graceful burrow]

hi

[manic torrent]

Has anyone ever been so far

[jaunty compass]

i just remembered something

I have an ES i7 10750h that goes into a desktop board

and a b365 board with a modded bios

it's free real estate

[sonic barn]

Yes, I am so far from the tech tips

[fluid ridge]

why are USB sticks so bad

my USB is now half the read and write speed it was advertised as

i guess dont use a usb stick as a media server that you constantly read and write to

[ocean narwhal]

Because ppl still buy them

[fluid ridge]

USB C USB when

that has to be a thing now right

[ocean narwhal]

You can buy usb C to m.2 ssd's, that will probably give you the highest performance

[fluid ridge]

external nvme is expensive as hell

[ocean narwhal]

I dont know of any companies that make actually high quality usb drives

i mean more than usb? yeah, but thats bcs theyre faster

[manic torrent]

Right now.

Right. Fucking. Now.

[ocean narwhal]

usb C doesnt automatically make a flash drive fast but yea

[manic torrent]

USB C is a connector

[red obsidian]

Can you use a usb c thing to install windows

[manic torrent]

But a thunderbolt/usb4 nvme drive? Extremely fast.

[manic torrent]

Why wouldn't you be able to

[red obsidian]

Usb-c drive*

I’m been having problems installing windows on a old usb drive

[manic torrent]

When you say USB C drive, that covers basically any storage.

[fluid ridge]

i will wait for the day when we can get cheap SSD storage in the same capacities as hard drives

[ocean narwhal]

Probably wont happen

[fluid ridge]

100 dollar 5tb nvme stick

[fluid ridge]

we just need to wait until there's something 30x better

[ocean narwhal]

Both are going down in price, they would never equilize

[manic torrent]

.... Wtf are you on about

[ocean narwhal]

also tbf I just bought a 4tb nvme for $200 so we're getting close!

[fluid ridge]

thats still expensive

[ocean narwhal]

Depends on u ig

Bcs for me that is a good deal and i need more storage so i grabbed it

[jaunty compass]

motherboard transplant time

[jolly galleon]

i paid $200 for a 2TB Nvme not that long ago

[ocean narwhal]

I was waiting to find a deal like the one I got

[balmy lotus]

should i go for ram speed or cas latency

[plush rivet]

Ram speed

CL latency barely matters

[ocean narwhal]

Gets complicated fast

[jaunty compass]

probably balance of the two, cas latency and speed both matter

[balmy lotus]

so 6000 40 is better then 5600 36

[ocean narwhal]

homie 2 different speed/lactencies can function identically

[plush rivet]

anything that is 16 or 18 is fine it does not matter

[balmy lotus]

same price

[ocean narwhal]

DDR5 i have no damn clue

[fluid ridge]

storage also dies really quick

your CPU will last you 20 years but a drive disk will not last more than 7 or 8 of constant use

honestly that's pretty lucky if you get 7-8 years of daily use from a hard drive

[vapid smelt]

6000 cl 40 has a first word latency of 13.333 the 5600 cl 36 is 12.857ns so the >5600<kit would be better

wait

[ocean narwhal]

me with a 256gb ssd with 135tbw, 33k power on hours, and "100% good" smart

[gusty dawn]

what manufacturer are those kits

those xmp bins are only good if they are kingston

[fluid ridge]

135tbw isnt that much

[gusty dawn]

first word latency is pointless on ddr5

[fluid ridge]

most drive companies will warrant your SSD up to 600tbw and 5 years i believe

[balmy lotus]

kingston fury :rahh

[vapid smelt]

why must ddr5 be so difficult

[gusty dawn]

for kingston ddr5 both are identical

[fluid ridge]

but i think its more impressive that you've had 33k power on hours with this drive and only 125tb written

[gusty dawn]

xmp will perform very similar on both

[fluid ridge]

ive had my laptop for 7 months and i have 15tbw on the 512 m.2 already lol

[ocean narwhal]

thats 540 capacities written tho 🫤

[balmy lotus]

im not looking for overclocking, im looking for just written speed

[fluid ridge]

that is true

thats very impressive

[gusty dawn]

XMP is technically overclocking

both will perform basically the same with XMP

[balmy lotus]

whats xmp

[ocean narwhal]

The reason it has so much traffic but low power on is because its my scratch drive for all the garbage i do on my system

for video recording and anything like that

[balmy lotus]

what about 6000 30 from team group

[gusty dawn]

that's also good

[balmy lotus]

its 10 dollars more expensive

[gusty dawn]

frankly it doesn't matter with XMP

[balmy lotus]

whats xmp

[gusty dawn]

the profile that loads from your memory to run the "advertised" speed

ex 6000 cl30

[full fossil]

[balmy lotus]

what do you think of this build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gTYvxs

[balmy lotus]

the 10 percent thats get cut off

[vapid smelt]

why ryzen

[balmy lotus]

idk its really hard to think interms of intel

their naming scheme is bad

[vapid smelt]

you know pcpartpicker has a AU website right

[balmy lotus]

i put it in american for you

i built it on the australian site

i like parametric filters their cool

[vapid smelt]

its impossible to help you find better priced parts if you dont use AU

[balmy lotus]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/gTYvxs

budget 4500

aud

[vapid smelt]

assuming you already own the locked items?

[balmy lotus]

the locked ones are parametric filters

just the cheapest of the selection

the only one i own is the adata legend 710 512

only for rgb model

waltuh

Armoury Crate is compatible with the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro and the Dominator Platinum RGB modules.

[unkempt widget]

15% keyboard?

[gusty dawn]

the ssds are garbage, and don't overspend on garbage fans

[full fossil]

30%

[balmy lotus]

they are the cheapest

[balmy lotus]

fans look cool

[gusty dawn]

you are wasting your money

[unkempt widget]

what? corsair armoury crate?

[gusty dawn]

also the reference xtx is awful

I used one

[balmy lotus]

fr?

[gusty dawn]

yes, and I returned it

[balmy lotus]

whats the difference

[gusty dawn]

I'm on my 6900xt now

[manic torrent]

Please define waste

[balmy lotus]

is all xtx bad

[gusty dawn]

the cooler is awful

[gusty dawn]

no

[manic torrent]

Get signalrgb

[gusty dawn]

fans that perform worse than Artic P12 and cost several times the price

[balmy lotus]

i like rgb

[manic torrent]

.... But they have rgb

I do not believe so

You HEARD? From an anonymous third party?

And instead of spending 5 minutes seeing for yourself you are wasting time on discord?

All RGB software is shit

[gusty dawn]

how does that justify spending 4x the price

[manic torrent]

I mean, I don't really care about the specifics, I have 9 SP120 fans

Oh there are worse ones, my point is they all suck

No, but it works with many.

[gusty dawn]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/WDzJ9r

and I made it over $500 cheaper

[manic torrent]

Dude. Read the website. Install it and test

[gusty dawn]

and better

[balmy lotus]

what are the best argb fans @gusty dawn

[icy oak]

I know Lian Li Uni fans can work with Mystic Light. And I know Deepcool's AIOs do as well.

[manic torrent]

Then fix it

[balmy lotus]

no rgb

[manic torrent]

.... THEN fire ze missiles

[icy oak]

In terms of cable management? Uni fans from Lian Li

[gusty dawn]

the front fans literally have rgb

[balmy lotus]

but not the ram not the cpu and more

[manic torrent]

And you are imagining how RGB works in the meantime?

[gusty dawn]

you do NOT want rgb ram

[manic torrent]

Rong

[balmy lotus]

why

[valid siren]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Etherwave_Theremin_Kit.jpg/1280px-Etherwave_Theremin_Kit.jpg 0% keyboard

[manic torrent]

You want RGB everything

[gusty dawn]

creates heat and causes stability issues. Also it resets to the default profile the moment your pc goes to sleep and looks weird when it does.

[valid siren]

Your puny mortal CPUs run at 4.8GHz? Pathetic, my green laser pointer outputs at 600THz

[icy oak]

Just. All white?

No rainbow barf?

[balmy lotus]

why air cooler

[manic torrent]

A) no it doesn't. B) wtf goes to sleep, and you can set the default profile, including off.

[gusty dawn]

I instinctively did that

[balmy lotus]

less storage

[gusty dawn]

I'll add more

[balmy lotus]

is i5 good for photoshop

[vapid smelt]

better multi core then the 7700x

[gusty dawn]

it has similar or better single core than the 7700x so yes

[balmy lotus]

but less cores right

[vapid smelt]

more

[manic torrent]

What?

[valid siren]

depends on the i5

[gusty dawn]

what the hell does that mean

[gusty dawn]

13600k

[balmy lotus]

14 cores wow

[manic torrent]

How much RGB is too much RGB

[gusty dawn]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/LsmXQ6

4400 aud

and has a LOT of ssd storage

6tb

and RGB AIO liquid cooler

[icy oak]

LS720... I approve

That C40 isn't the greatest, but I'm sure C30 costs an arm and a leg in Australia

[gusty dawn]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/B7vB3y

[manic torrent]

What if I told you that was just the start. That my entire battlestation had RGB everywhere

[gusty dawn]

actually the Lancool 216 is nicer

[tropic dune]

i will kill you

delete this

[balmy lotus]

wtf lmao

[gusty dawn]

it's SKhynix DDR5 for one so overclocking is extremely easy, and with XMP it doesn't really effect performance

[vapid smelt]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Pc4Hgb is this enough rgb and storage?

[icy oak]

Ah. Got it.

[balmy lotus]

no

[gusty dawn]

Buildzoid has a video demoing that Cas latency doesn't do all that much on ddr5

your sub timings like tfaw do a LOT more

[icy oak]

I feel stupid in comparison

[vapid smelt]

wdym no? 10tb of storage and rgb on the cpu block, radiator, case and gpu

[tropic dune]

you 👏 dont👏 need👏 a 👏 liquid 👏 cooler for an i5, a nh u12s redux is more than enough. you dont need z790 unless u r gonna plug in 3 m.2 ssds. oh wait!!! just buy two 4tb ssds for less money than 3 2tb ssds. inland ssds are rebranded sabrent ssds if u live in the us

[vapid smelt]

u12s redux is ass in value

[tropic dune]

i dont care

[icy oak]

But my RGB 🥺

[vapid smelt]

this isnt 2018 i5s use power

[tropic dune]

oh crap
they do

[jaunty compass]

I'm doing something cursed rn
I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing nobody can see it lol

[gusty dawn]

to be fair under normal workloads they never go above 80w or so

[jaunty compass]

I have one of those bga to lga chips and I'm working on it tn

[tropic dune]

but you still dont need a liquid cooler

[jaunty compass]

Rn

[gusty dawn]

Intel's VID table is extremely cursed

[icy oak]

It's okay Z690I Unify. You're doing great, sweetie.

[gusty dawn]

that's one of the best z690 boards lol

[jaunty compass]

Puro Linus tech tips real?

[icy oak]

Fr.

[gusty dawn]

actually the second best z690 board
