public-chat

[molten drift]

Generally when I'm near a town nicknamed deluxeburry

[vapid smelt]

And it's only been over a year with it right?

[molten drift]

Two years in August

But on a positive note I just remembered I got chicken patties in the freezer!

So... Might make some dinner later..

Depending on how dead I feel after I finish this shift at work.

Are pci gen 4ssd's backwards compatible like if I stick it in a gen 3 slot it will run but at gen 3 speeds.

Cause it would knock a few bucks off the proposed build for this kid if I could do that.

[vapid smelt]

Pretty sure it works unless it's Intel 10th gen on a pcie gen 4 mbo

Like a 10400f on a b560 would disable the gen 4 nvme slot

[molten drift]

Sweet deal. Micro center.has a 5600 and a non gen 4 board on sale.so I'll get a gen 4 SSD for like 4 $ cheaper and bigger capacity for them than a gen 3 SSD

[summer folio]

I thought money was not a problem?

[vapid smelt]

Why waste money in this economy

[molten drift]

Oh I plan on showing her what "the best" actually costs vs what her child actually needs.

[summer folio]

Nooo, Telia is doing "work" on my towns fiber, it dead now

[pearl remnant]

I don't think so. I have pcie 3.0 in my mobo and it means I can't use a 3060 card that has pcie 4.0

[summer folio]

Stop fixing things that works smh

[molten drift]

I'm talking ssd's. Not gpu.

[vapid smelt]

You can Use a rtx 4090 on a gen 3 slot

[pearl remnant]

oh well interesting

[summer folio]

Put it in an AGP slot

[vapid smelt]

You might lose like 3% performance

[molten drift]

The fact that a 4090 is 1800$ and I could build this child a system for 1100$ or less of I donate my fractal torrent compact..

[summer folio]

ikr? AGP Master Race

[pearl remnant]

I would have thought the 3.0 wouldn't have known how to use a 4.0. But a 4.0 slot probably would have been able to use 3.0 as long as it physically fit.

[molten drift]

I think will be a wake-up for her.

[molten drift]

Espically when the kid only plays Roblox and Fortnite...

[vapid smelt]

I would totally build him a apu build with a r5 5600g if I were the parents

Roblox is caped to 60fps

[molten drift]

I was doing a 5600 and 6600 build at microcenter with 16gb 3200 stock cooler a lian LI case 1tb SSD and buying win 11 on store for.. 1049$

And rmx850w

And a wifi card can't for get that.

But yeah... I got back ups for the kid if I had to build a system. But hopefully it's just a bunch of stuff on the PC I can try and fix tomorrow.

Would it be rude if I doordash food to their house while.working on the PC.

[vapid smelt]

I would get a $20 aircooler knowing their dusting habits and the weak stock cooler

[vapid smelt]

I would expect them to buy it for you tbh

[molten drift]

The family friend would cook for me but I would melt from spice.

[rose kestrel]

dang the 5800x runs HOT

[vapid smelt]

Wait they actually use spices?! Can I join

[molten drift]

She's a Portuguese mother... Of course she uses spices.

[rose kestrel]

i have it hooked to a 240 rad and it’s at 91c at 100% load

meanwhile my 4790k passively cooled never broke 80c

[vapid smelt]

I'm used to white Mormon food

[manic torrent]

.... is it a shit rad? Because that seems very high

My 5700X is far more reasonable. Although tbh it's almost never at 100% load, and I have 2x360 rads.

[vapid smelt]

Did you take the film off the cold plate/CPU block?

[summer folio]

Radical!

[vapid smelt]

But it also shares with a hungry 3080

[molten drift]

Tonight I'm probably just gonna put two perdue chicken patties on my plate warm then up with 2 slices of cheese and then a smidge of dill relish and call that dinner

I'm just feeling rather dead already and got the rest of the hour left of work

[manic torrent]

ti 🙂 - and yeah that dumps mega heat into the loop. But I don't think the CPU has even been as high as 90

but I also have more fans and good airflow, so eh

[vapid smelt]

For some reason I thought you had a 12gb 3080

[manic torrent]

Negative, I have a 12gb 3080ti

[vapid smelt]

Much fancier

[manic torrent]

indeed, it gets the job done

[vapid smelt]

But you know you want a 4090 for that sexy display

[manic torrent]

I don't though - I can play every game I have at over 100fps full detail 4k

which is why I'm focusing on doing my battlestation build

[rose kestrel]

yes i did haha

[manic torrent]

it's possible your airflow/aio is just shit

[rose kestrel]

it’s not the best but it gets the job done, CPU doesn’t thermal throttle

[manic torrent]

but that seems high.

[rose kestrel]

also it’s rarely at 100% load for extended periods of time

[manic torrent]

ah, then yeah who cares

[rose kestrel]

i’m just extracting a 37 gb archive into 115gb

airflow is probably shit tbh, i have 3 in pull and only the top in push, but i don’t care enough to swap some out

plus it keeps my foot warm

[manic torrent]

haha

[vapid smelt]

My brother's 5800x3d runs cooler on a nhd15 at around 75c

And a good 240mm aio beats the nhd15

[rose kestrel]

wait really?

i thought the nhd15 was a beast

my 240mm aio is a shitty thermaltake, but it was the only one available at best buy and my impatient ass didn’t wanna wait for a cooler to ship

they literally had either that, 120mm AIOs, or the 212

[vapid smelt]

Used to be now cheaper aircoolers beat it in both temps and noise

[manic torrent]

custom loop > all

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9T92FT/deepcool-ak620-6899-cfm-cpu-cooler-r-ak620-bknnmt-g beats the nhd15 in every way

[rose kestrel]

id do a custom loop if kits weren’t literally half a grand

i swear shit used to be much cheaper

[rose kestrel]

how about bequiet? those used to be pretty good back in the day

[vapid smelt]

You can save a lot of money if you don't get custom water cooling kits from big brands

[manic torrent]

the future is now, old man

[manic torrent]

indeed you can. It doesn't make it cheap, but it makes it much more affordable

[rose kestrel]

i’m only 22 😭

[vapid smelt]

Same boat as noctua they need to play catchup now

[manic torrent]

RIP

[rose kestrel]

how much do you think i could build one for? $200?

[manic torrent]

depends how you count.

[rose kestrel]

block/rad/pump/res and then rest of everything else from home depot 😂

[vapid smelt]

I've never waterlooped that's hwbobs wheel house

[molten drift]

I'm staring at mine lol

[rose kestrel]

where’s the crying linus emote

[manic torrent]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004609201972.html

[molten drift]

Like one day I want to water cool.my rig. Cause my case is designed for it. But.. at the same time rads are expensive.

[manic torrent]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001621399294.html

[rose kestrel]

too much rgb

[manic torrent]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001621399294.html

[rose kestrel]

the most RGB i can take is what i currently have and even that is too much

[manic torrent]

incorrect

This is going to shock you but ..... you can turn it off.

[velvet marsh]

Never too much rgb

[unkempt widget]

my fans don't even work lol

they just straight up don't spin

[vapid smelt]

You can get a block for $40ish cheap soft tubing then a 360mm radiator for $60

[unkempt widget]

i probably should take it back to the shop

[molten drift]

Ild love to go 2x360mm rads in my thermaltake core p3 pro . And put the 6800xt red devil and my 12600k in a single loop but ... Ehh just so expensive for rads and then hard tubing and learning how to bend

[manic torrent]

bending is not hard, just takes a few goes to get the feel for it

[rose kestrel]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1078111116816822382

[molten drift]

I could also just go the fittings like all hell route. And metal tubeing.

[manic torrent]

AGH MY EYES, it's a 510. my day is ruined

[rose kestrel]

what’s wrong with a 510

looks inconspicuous

[manic torrent]

basically the worst case in the world. It's NPC spec

[full fossil]

Not that good for the price but looks good ig

[vapid smelt]

That case has 0 airflow no wonder your temps are so bad

[rose kestrel]

it’s super easy to build in and was only $50

fair

[abstract sluice]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WgjGC6
Is there any way to get this under $2000

[manic torrent]

it isn't, it makes baby jesus cry

[velvet marsh]

The h510 is awful. Even for $50

[rose kestrel]

y’all wanna see my old build before i got the case?

https://share.icloud.com/photos/0c1vcNjdhVaH8YVDWlC3DsNiA

in the dorms. basically elite dangerous and CAD machine. PC was on top of a binder

[manic torrent]

better tbh

[full fossil]

Probably

[vapid smelt]

Could've spent $70 less on the mbo

[manic torrent]

Thank fucking god. I got a spare 8266 amd was able to lower my monitors. My neck says thankyou

I was considering putting knitting needles in my eyes, but the NZXT 510 is basically the same

[vapid smelt]

With more airflow you can oc higher with the same noise level then a hot box 510 with parts at stock speeds

plus it’s light and looks pretty

and syncs with my iphone

[velvet marsh]

I like my MacBook but it’s so limited

[remote jacinth]

We assuming I am cis gendered and uses he/him pronouns, an individual of living dangerously non gendered specific well mannered individual..

[normal cargo]

If only they had something to put in it

[remote jacinth]

they are very handy the ol Jerry Can

[rose kestrel]

it’s about as limited as any *nix system

plus it has more support for mainstream apps

[molten drift]

Personally I think a laptop hidden in a Jerry can enclosure would be neat.

Much better than Evan and Katelyn's 43 inch laptop

https://youtu.be/uUVfHaW6nWs

[manic torrent]

fanta

[polar steeple]

Jerry can cyberdeck

Runs on the gasoline inside to generate electricity

4090 inside

[manic torrent]

how exactly does that work.

[polar steeple]

Shit if I know

You don't pay me to engineer you Pay me to create

[molten drift]

I don't pay you at all

[manic torrent]

I mean, for me those two things are more or less synonymous

[polar steeple]

For you maybe

[manic torrent]

but I design things for fun

[polar steeple]

If we are being technical about it

[manic torrent]

... and why wouldn't you be.

[polar steeple]

Part of it would have to be false to contain the gas, there'd have ti be a small pump inside there, and you'd have to run hoses to a small generator but you could definitely do it

I'd have to find like a small cc small footprint type of generator but you could do it

It would be very unsafe for the user and the hardware

[manic torrent]

https://idmbackboss.com/en/index.html

[polar steeple]

There we go

Mad max shit

[manic torrent]

It might be able to fit in a jerry can - but it would take up the whole thing

[polar steeple]

I didn't say the generator would be inside the Jerry can

The generator would definitely have to be external

[manic torrent]

ok, that was unclear

[polar steeple]

But some quick disconnect plumbing would fix that right up

I got this countertop dishwasher I hook up to the sink cause this place doesn't have a full sized one, I'm thinking something like that

[polar fern]

New towels are gross.

[brisk lance]

lol what

[manic torrent]

it's good to be prepared 😄

[finite cloud]

id switch windows and macos. linux being better than both in my opinion is so so

any of them though is fine as long as it works for you

[rose kestrel]

macos is *nix AND it runs more mainstream apps

it’s honestly my preference over both, but gotta have windows for NX and games

programming on windows is like selling your soul to the devil

[pliant karma]

Same. Lol I’m bored in my class atm so just vibing

[brisk lance]

👍

[manic torrent]

meh, it's wayyyy less bad these days, I don't find it's a huge deal. Programming FOR windows is awful though

[dense coral]

102dba

that thing is cranking

[rose kestrel]

it’s much much better than it used to be but it’s still terrible.

plus imagine not having zsh 💀

[finite cloud]

Relatable

[pliant karma]

Lol but also I’m relieved my grade in astronomy didn’t take a huge hit after the first exam yesterday

[finite cloud]

zsh isnt necessary. but if you really want it, you can get WSL and install it

[pliant karma]

39/50 but at the cost of tanking my grade 15%

[rose kestrel]

zsh >

[wraith sonnet]

Curious if funk still has me blocked

[unkempt widget]

funk has everyone blocked

[wraith sonnet]

Anyways, should I get a m&m fan for the spite PC or should I get a different candy fan for it

[unkempt widget]

who did funk not block tbh

[full fossil]

me maybe

[unkempt widget]

try reacting to funk's message

[full fossil]

nvm...

[unkempt widget]

exactly

funk blocked everyone in this discord

[wraith sonnet]

Bob? Can I have your input on the spite pcs intake fan?

Or should I use vanilla parts

[unkempt widget]

how large is your blocked list

mine is 10 people

[queen fractal]

Hello, one question my liquid refrigeration started to make strange noises, I changed the liquid and then the pump makes a sound like rain, could anyone know what it is?

[wraith sonnet]

@pliant karma should I do the candy fan or should I restrict to actual PC parts

[full fossil]

Was 40 now its 0

[wraith sonnet]

Possibly air in the pump? Idk

[queen fractal]

I see a lot of chunks

[wraith sonnet]

My Blocklist is 1 and it's a discord bot that's broken so it will spam me the second I unblock it

[queen fractal]

Changing liquid

[wraith sonnet]

So there's debris in the loop?

[manic torrent]

There should be 0 chunks

more than 0 is too many chunks

[queen fractal]

It's broken?

[pliant karma]

The m&m fan might be pushing it but ehhh regaular fan is fine

[queen fractal]

I clean but idk

[pliant karma]

Use molex fan cause why not

[wraith sonnet]

The m&m fan is a funny idea, the problem is more that the spite build is meant to be all wrong choices

[queen fractal]

I send in #screenshots my liquid

[pliant karma]

Molex fan is a wrong choice

[wraith sonnet]

Yes

Thermaltake molex fan

Unless you can find a worse option

[wary summit]

What's W81 chipswt?

[wraith sonnet]

Holy shit

[wary summit]

I'm at this restaurant that has Dog meat

[vapid smelt]

i will disown you

what about frog

[vapid smelt]

frog is ok

[wraith sonnet]

@pliant karma it was in my TJ09

[wary summit]

they don't have chicken

they'd rather have chickens for their eggs

[pliant karma]

Yep that’s going on the build

I was gonna look for a 2 bladed 120mm fan 👀

[wraith sonnet]

As long as it spins

[wraith sonnet]

If you can find that

[cedar pebble]

Use 100 server fans in series

[finite cloud]

lord have mercy on your ears

[tropic dune]

Any tips on not getting made fun of for watching ltt?

[heady flicker]

what?

[hollow pulsar]

Don't tell?

[heady flicker]

that thought never came to me

just watch whatever you want in public, just be careful to not break any laws

[tropic dune]

That ship has sailed unfortunately

I unfortunately also use Linux so that triples the issue

[cedar pebble]

Oh it’s painful but still fun

And also extremely useless (I have 104x 40mm fans in serial and it pulls ~1kw, completely pointless but static pressure is fun)

[heady flicker]

are they the type of person to make fun of you for using a weird brand of computer mice or something

[plush rivet]

Why would you get made fun of

Ha! How dare you have personal interests!

[vapid smelt]

what a fucking nerd

[wraith sonnet]

@pliant karma so I got the fan in and noticed that the GPU I have is actually a 730

Also I put my 6600 in and it is a damn tight squeeze

[pliant karma]

https://www.amazon.com/Case-Addressable-Radiator-Cooler-Computer/dp/B0BR7TYJFZ/ oh no well here are fans that are bear naked

god the more I look the more I am like wth

[wraith sonnet]

That's going to get jammed

[pliant karma]

[wraith sonnet]

Wtf is that another spite PC?

@pliant karma seriously look at the image I think that's the x570itx tb3

👀

[wraith sonnet]

Look at the screenshot I sent it actually is a spite pc

[pliant karma]

prob amd crossfire logo

[cedar pebble]

Why control fan rpm when you can control wind speed

[rose kestrel]

what’s a spite pc

[wraith sonnet]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/NedOfTheNet/saved/Gfq3RB

[rose kestrel]

yeah my fans are running at 10 m/s wind speed

[pliant karma]

oh boy you gonna use a 32bit operating system on this lol

[wraith sonnet]

That's why I did 8gigs of ram

[rose kestrel]

so it’s just a shit PC with an overpriced mobo?

[pliant karma]

basically

[wraith sonnet]

It's a build where every choice is purposely wrong

[cedar pebble]

These fans provide excellent hedt dissipation as well 🙏

[rose kestrel]

yeah but all the choices are shit parts except for mobo

i could build a more spiteful PC

[pliant karma]

👀 I am considering running a NAS with used office desktop harddrives I have in a bin so there is that

raid 1 them

[wraith sonnet]

That mobo restricts you to lga 115x and wants dp in, Ryzen wants fast dual channel ram; slowest single channel kit available, gt710 doesn't have dp functionality for thunderbolt, 3200g restricts you to PCIe gen 3, since it's AMD it can only see the 32 gb part of the optane drive, hotswap bay with the os in it, non modular PSU in a SFF chassis

Oh and windows Vista 32 bit because it's only 8 gigs of ram

[hollow pulsar]

Vista 32-bit with PAE?

[wraith sonnet]

What does pae stand for?

[hollow pulsar]

Physical Address Extension. Usually found on Windows 32-bit server OS's. It allows the 32-bit Windows OS to see more than 4GB of RAM.

[odd nebula]

[wraith sonnet]

Oh shit, I thought it was 8 gigs, I'm gonna have to source a 4gig dimm then

[rose kestrel]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/znqbMb

real spite pc

[rose kestrel]

32 bit can only support 4 gigs

[odd nebula]

fucking

[wraith sonnet]

The 5450 doesn't have any drivers available for win 10

Believe me I tried

[odd nebula]

5450 + 13900ks + hyper 212 evo

[rose kestrel]

710 then

still more spiteful imo

[odd nebula]

610*

[rose kestrel]

at least yours isn’t such an enormous waste of money

[wraith sonnet]

I'm not spending 1500 USD on a joke to take to ltx

[rose kestrel]

oh it’s for LTX

nvm

[wraith sonnet]

This system is real, sitting next to me and is coming with me to ltx

[rose kestrel]

what the fuck

[wraith sonnet]

I had all the parts already except the board

[odd nebula]

get a small 15k rpm HDD to be loud for fun LOL

[rose kestrel]

i’m spited

spate? spote?

[odd nebula]

spitten

[wraith sonnet]

I have two of the five motherboards from AMD's 500 series that have thunderbolt functionality

The b550 creator, x570 creator and x570 aqua are all obscenely expensive, I don't count the D-p because it's a minor revision

[rose kestrel]

what’s with everyone in #1019713714968088586 stating their age

[odd nebula]

flexing

[wraith sonnet]

I'm guessing someone copy pasted and now people think it's a template

[odd nebula]

im X age and I already have X item

[rose kestrel]

that’s not ur money at 13 😂

[odd nebula]

my laptop was 75$ lol, 3050 ti, got it off some chump cuz they offered it

[wraith sonnet]

My main build uses a b550 board but this abomination just had to be x570

[rose kestrel]

my first gaming PC was at 14, parents paid for it. 4790k and 760

i got good grades lol

[steady kelp]

Guys I need help asap

[wraith sonnet]

So I guess I need to source an actual 710, a ddr4 4g dimm at 2133, and competent memory for when the joke has subsided

Because I'm gonna try to put my a770 in this during ltx

Rather than my 6600

[rose kestrel]

you should get a 212 evo anyway

i feel like its shittier

even tho it’s really not

[wraith sonnet]

No clearance

[rose kestrel]

they’re still selling those at best buy here lmao

[wraith sonnet]

Cooler master doesn't discontinue popular products

The HAF XB EVO is from 2012 and is still being manufactured

[rose kestrel]

do we have any reps in here? i was kinda sorta friends with one of them in the bapo irc days

[wraith sonnet]

I have had a less than functional communication line with them since I left xidax

[rose kestrel]

y’all remember when the corsair logo changed to a tramp stamp

[wary summit]

gold, 500grams each, might be a robber for a day tbh

[wraith sonnet]

Remember when Corsair was actually cool and not the bane of my existence

[rose kestrel]

what’s wrong with them now

[wraith sonnet]

Bump

[pliant karma]

I see you have something for corsair too.

[wraith sonnet]

How have you not known this?

[vapid smelt]

imagine caring bout elgato

[pliant karma]

I have never seen you say it

but yea I blacklist corsair from my list I make. Maybe case and psu but that is all I have allowed, everything else has been banished

[wraith sonnet]

Look at my issue with Corsair PSUs, you should be pissed

[vapid smelt]

my corsair psu has been solid for nearly 4 years

[wraith sonnet]

Also they were one of the companies that killed off my beloved 5.25 bay

[wraith sonnet]

I have no issues with the build quality of Corsair PSUs

[vapid smelt]

we have this new invention called usb C

[wraith sonnet]

But the fact that their sata pin out is the same as every other manufacturers MOLEX is unacceptable

[wraith sonnet]

Front panel USB C is a nightmare on top of which the lack of a 5.25 bay basically cannibalizes the biggest reason we use windows in the first place

[vapid smelt]

why do we need a 5.25 bay

[wraith sonnet]

Backwards compatibility means backwards compatibility

[rugged bridge]

funny when public chat turns into floatplane chat

[velvet marsh]

[wraith sonnet]

I'm not saying you have to have a floppy drive I'm saying that it not being an option is offensive to the core concept of backwards compatibility and makes us hypocrites when we laugh at "console peasants" or whatever

[pliant karma]

elaborate

[wraith sonnet]

Look at a modular Molex cable from Corsair on the PSU side, now look at anyone else's modular SATA

Pin number 5/2 depending on how you look at it shouldn't be populated but it is

[frail steeple]

100 rpm hdd

[wraith sonnet]

You know damn well what I use the 5.25 bay for

[vapid smelt]

tbh i dont

i see no point in having one

[wraith sonnet]

Hotswap bays, I do an excessive amount of data recovery for friends and family

Having a caddy take up desk space is just not an option

[vapid smelt]

they use hdds?!

[wraith sonnet]

How many external drives do you think a Mormon population will have for family photos

Especially when there's a Costco nearby

If you answered less than 3 you're wrong

[vapid smelt]

my parents use paper photos and have a 1tb m.2 sata drive

[wraith sonnet]

I envy you and your parents faith in this

[sullen saddle]

real men create a dynamic disk with the main operating system so incase a drive goes bad, everything will die, a small sacrifice

[rugged bridge]

real men use raid 1

[sullen saddle]

i actually do have 2 drives in RAID 1 💀

[rugged bridge]

good

[sweet jetty]

Hihi

[sullen saddle]

nvm it's in RAID 0 (striped)

[rugged bridge]

im too poor so im running off an ssd and 2 recycled HDDs from laptops

[rugged bridge]

dang

[sullen saddle]

i like to live dangerously

and it's encrypted with veracrypt

[sweet jetty]

Dude lmfao, my dad's office had computers that physically no one wanted to fix cuz their motherboards were fried and those were running pentiums, I took all the hard drives and SSDs and made a server out of it

[velvet marsh]

I have 6 drives in raid 0

[sweet jetty]

I have like 12 tb

[sullen saddle]

wtf

[velvet marsh]

It's a project drive, it's super fast tho

[sullen saddle]

i don't even have a backup for my RAID 0 💀 so if it goes it goes

[elfin jetty]

[elfin jetty]

What glue should I use when glueing a piece of paper on PLA plastic?

My membership card if my union is just a PDF you print but I don't wanna carry a paper piece that will get beaten up in a day. Was thinking about 3D printing a piece of plastic that'll make it sturdier

[loud chasm]

my ST3160815AS hdd has a current pensing sector reading of 0xfffffffd and I am assuming its corrupt, how can i uncorrupt it? the drive works fine otherwise

[wise tundra]

Oh actually I might use PETG instead as the color I have would match the union colors

[wise tundra]

Well I'm guessing you could just zero it out

[stuck stratus]

I mean how could you possibly expect citrix software to not be unnecessarily stupid

[loud chasm]

[wise tundra]

Oh

[manic torrent]

have you heard of .... laminators?

[wise tundra]

I don't have one

And I'm not gonna get one to make a single card

[stuck stratus]

well I mean you might want to laminate other things in the future

[manic torrent]

do you live somewhere with an office supplies store

[timid meadow]

Places like wallmart sell single sheets. Clear tape works too

[manic torrent]

they will laminate it for you

[stuck stratus]

but I believe staples or w/e will laminate for you

[manic torrent]

do you have an iron?

[wise tundra]

Where would I store it? My room is under 9mm2

[manic torrent]

also doubles as a laminator

[stuck stratus]

go to office max or whatever

fuck me, it's ant man

Oh wait

I mean 9m2

[wise tundra]

[fossil hamlet]

quick question, is there a place where I can post photos? It's just photos that I took of random stuff around my house

[wise tundra]

I guess I can borrow my moms

[stuck stratus]

depends on what kind of photos

[fossil hamlet]

they are kid friendly 100%

I mainly take photos of my pets but those can go into the pets section

but i mean like, a picture of the snowy weather and a closeup of a lock

[wintry dagger]

guys completely off topic but Great Big Story is back

[wise tundra]

@simple quail what's that plastic thing people out on school books?

[manic torrent]

contact.

[wise tundra]

Right, I have that stuff

But a plastic card would be cooler!

It matches the colors aswell

I have epoxy but that might be overkill

[past egret]

just get a L type folder

[timid meadow]

Overkill is always the right choice. Epoxy that mf

[past egret]

youre gonna just make a brick

[fossil hamlet]

would the photos go in off-topic or different?

[wise tundra]

I mean yeah but, paper and epoxy? That just sounds wrong

[wintry dagger]

wait paper and epoxy for what?

If my cpu has 16 pcie lanes, gpu uses a 16 and a tv tuner uses 1, will the gpu go down to 8?

i7-860 and ms-7613 motherboard if it matters

[polar fern]

If your CPU has only 16 lanes you’re in trouble

[loud chasm]

Its from either 2009 or 2010 so might make more sense

[polar fern]

Oh

[polar fern]

it’s the first edition but I believe it was actually built in 2007

I actually just realised a few days ago that I could upgrade the processors

It is the dual 2 core 2.66 ghz

they have higher clock and higher core count processors that I could pop in there no problem

[full fossil]

[low vessel]

I just built a new pc. My computer is shut down but my usb ports are still on. How do I fix this.

Motherboard usb's

[trim robin]

look in bios for settings related to always power usb, that or look at the port, some mbs will have usb ports thta always have power a diff color or icon

[low vessel]

Ok another problem. When I shut down my pc, my monitor and peripherals dont turn on until I turn on the monitors manually. Fix?

[fossil hamlet]

I have a laptop with a intel core i5 8250u, and an intel integrated 620 gpu, it's 4 years old now and it still runs games at playable fps

3080ti == playable 😉

it runs beamng drive at like 20 fps at lowest for the graphics

and what's the 1% lows? 3fps?

[fossil hamlet]

10

[wind pulsar]

Even if that also was 20FPS or near that, there's no way they can spawn more than one car

[fossil hamlet]

i think, somtimes 5, depends on the map

[thin fjord]

quick question: I have a 3080ti and a 1080p monitor, I want to know if trying to maximize my vram/gpu usage would increase my fps more than it already is

[manic torrent]

uhhhh, I don't think you understand how things work

[wind pulsar]

No

[manic torrent]

you will be CPU limited in ... everything.

[thin fjord]

ic

[golden talon]

except cyberpunk

[manic torrent]

I have a 3080ti and I run forza horizon 5 at extreme 4k, and get around 120fps

[thin fjord]

i remember hearing that upgrading to a 1440p monitor is also better for gpu performance since it's actually being uptilized

[golden talon]

no

that is a blatant lie

[thin fjord]

or maybe i am misunderstanding

[manic torrent]

That makes no sense

[thin fjord]

i am definitely misunderstanding

[golden talon]

by upgrading your monitor you can utilize your gpu better

[thin fjord]

this

[manic torrent]

ok imagine you had a 500hp engine (3080ti) and you're driving at 100km/hr in a small car

[thin fjord]

is what i meant

[golden talon]

then yes

[manic torrent]

you get a medium size car (1440p) and the same engine, and drive the same speed - it uses more of the available power, because physics

[fierce grotto]

Would a usb hub work with a kvm switch ?

[golden talon]

playing 1080p on a 3080 ti should be criminal unless you’re just playing cyberpunk with rtx on

[manic torrent]

but the available power doesn't make any difference at all

[manic torrent]

yes, and it depends 🙂

[wind pulsar]

Joke's on you, I use a 4080 an 1080p

comp fps gamer moment

i need all the frames

[fossil hamlet]

0_0, the newest pc part here in my house is the hardware on the Oculus quest 2

[manic torrent]

basically every game runs VERY well in extreme or very high at 4k, 120hz with a 3080ti and a decent CPU, so I don't know wtf you'd use 1080p

[golden talon]

i hope you have a 400 hz monitor or some shit lmao

[wind pulsar]

The panel's 40 inches and VA too

[thin fjord]

poor budgeting (i think 1440p monitors are too big for my liking)

i had a 1440p 144 but because I sit so close to my monitor it felt like i was in the cinema

[manic torrent]

LOOOOOL, I played on my 144 27 1440 and it felt like a toy

[golden talon]

i use 1440p 144hz VA with my RX 6800 but i would’ve stuck to 1080p if i didn’t get that 1440p panel for $80

[golden talon]

both of my monitors are made of chinesium

[wind pulsar]

Nah, I just don't give a fuck

[thin fjord]

lmaoo i have a 24inch 1080p and no joke i sit maybe a foot away

[wind pulsar]

I have a panel, why would I pay more for another

[thin fjord]

1440p panels are usually 27 inches which is too big for my liking

they dont really make 24 inch 1440p high refresh panels

[golden talon]

is that a landline on the right

[wind pulsar]

True, I wish they still made 15" monitors apart from laptop screens

[manic torrent]

no, it is a midi control surface

[golden talon]

rip

[wind pulsar]

Then I could play on 720p and have the fpes

[golden talon]

I did just buy another Intel arc gpu, so maybe i should buy another monitor for it

[fossil hamlet]

wanna see something funny?

[manic torrent]

I have a spare 27" IPS 144 and a spare 24" VA

[thin fjord]

real gamers will player 480p stretched to maximize frames

if ya'll wanna see something funny, look in #cars , and yes, it's amazing to use

[polar fern]

We had one fish that we won at a carnival & it lived like 12 years

The amazing thing is that he lived in a fishbowl and we had to change his water frequently. No filter, none of that stuff just an old-fashioned fish in a bowl.

[fossil hamlet]

Used to have 3 rabbits but that one had spinal issues that at the time, we were to poor to pay for the surgery

[polar fern]

Not just change the water, but you know clean the gravel, the artificial plants and all that stuff

Awe

[fossil hamlet]

She lived I think 6 years

Maybe 7

[polar fern]

And I also helped raise & train 22 service dogs including many blind assistance dogs.

[fossil hamlet]

0_______0

[polar fern]

Yeah

And I also did pet sitting for about 20 years

The saddest animal thing I’ve ever done, was completely by chance

[fossil hamlet]

The most I’ve done is help install and fix tv and Wi-Fi stuff for my neighbor

[polar fern]

I was with my girlfriend at the time, and she was at the stable where her horse was kept

The owners of the stable were housing temporarily several thoroughbreds

These are the horses whichcan run like 40 mph

They are bred specifically for racing

One of them broke their leg and we don’t know how

I think they got playing a bit too rough, and one hoof landed on the leg

It was broken in a spot that cannot be mended properly

So I had to help the vet put it down

[fossil hamlet]

Sadness

[polar fern]

This horse was probably about two months old

Yes very

We both stood there inside the stable and cried for a good 45 minutes, her and I.

So anyway, as you might imagine, I do have some thoughts and opinions on animals in sport

[fossil hamlet]

The rabbit we had for 6 years, she was put down in the end because we couldn’t let her suffer

[polar fern]

Yep, it’s rough

[fossil hamlet]

Then a few months later my neighbor who had 7 cats had to put the oldest one down because his seizures were getting too much and he was puking a lot

[polar fern]

Human beings have a somewhat unique position in the animal kingdom because we can breed other animals & take care of them & use medicine to fix them. Always been very fascinating to me.

[fossil hamlet]

Early 2022 was not good

We are also the only species that I know of where can take stuff from this planet, such as an animal or a plant etc somewhere else off the planet.

Is 2560x1080 too low a resolution for 34inch ultra wide

[polar fern]

No

[dusty raft]

I'd say no

if it was like 40 id say yeah

but you should get by perfectly fine at 1080p 34"

[polar fern]

1080p is good at a max of 42 & you’d want to sit back a bit (tv)

[dusty raft]

yea a few feet should be fine because you don't wanna see the pixels ya feel me

[manic torrent]

Imho yes. 3440x1440 is perfect at 34

[polar fern]

if you asking about a monitor, then, yeah that’s basically their quality of life limit around that size

[dusty raft]

anywhere past 38" i'd say its litterally a high refresh rate tv

[polar fern]

Okay, I have a five hour drive this weekend twice. I should get to sleep

[dusty raft]

alr me too I got school in 3 hours

[manic torrent]

34 ultrawide 2560 is 82 ppi.

My 48 4k is 92 ppi

Which is the same as 24" 1080.

[polar fern]

actually, yeah, no that actually makes sense

32" 1440 16:9 works, ends up at 92 ppi

that depends if you can actually run it

[fierce grotto]

Rx 6600xt + r7 1700

[dull granite]

i doubt you will be actually able to play most graphics-intense games on 4K with this GPU

[dull granite]

while RX 6600 XT is 1080p queen™, it will perform okay on 1440p, but also you should compare color accuracy and features like HDR or adaptivesync @fierce grotto

[manic torrent]

I would absolutely not get 4k with that

[dull granite]

ye

also does 32 inch displays look good with 1440p?

[manic torrent]

Yes. 92ppi.

[dull granite]

ppi?

resolution

pixels per inch

[fierce grotto]

Yea I have decided to not get the 34inch ultra wide, which was 2560x1080

It had the same ppi as a 27inch display

That is 1080p

And I found those blurry

[manic torrent]

Exactly.

92 ppi is where it's at.

I upgraded my 3700X / 3070 system because of 4k, so yeah.

That can probably drive 4k media no problem. You might be able to get 4k low in some games. My 1070 and r5 3600 is starting to show signs of struggle since i went 4k

But ive got a couch table thing for when i need mkb

[fierce grotto]

My use case;

Getting university work done so big screen is nice
Being able to play games
Watching content

[manic torrent]

As a student? Absolutely would do

As a cranky old man who wants things just so? Not unless it was separate from my main setup.

[timid meadow]

Youve only got so much space and money. Tvs will last awhile. Get a good one now, then separate into a decent monitor on sale or when you have room for a desk setup in addition to a comfy setup

But cozy first

[sweet jetty]

Hell yeah, I do it and and I love it

[dull granite]

30fps kinda sucks tho

@fierce grotto if you had like RTX 3060 Ti maybe you could pull off "4K" with DLSS

[manic torrent]

Yeah but it would suck with a 1700

[dull granite]

Ryzen 1700?

[fierce grotto]

Going from 144hz to 30fps is gonna be something

[dull granite]

is it still holding up today tho

[manic torrent]

Thing is, you could easily run 1080 into the TV for gaming

[timid meadow]

Yea. His gpu isnt terrible. The cpu will scream at 4k tho

[dull granite]

it's like 6-7 years old

[fierce grotto]

I only rlly play guild wars 2

[manic torrent]

So going 4k TV and using 1080 for gaming is a legit option

[timid meadow]

4k media is still dope even if you can't game at that res

[dull granite]

how much reliable is this site?
https://technical.city/en

[manic torrent]

Never heard of it.

[timid meadow]

Been playing Overwatch and Borderlands in 4k but downloading the wizard game now and thatll probably have to sit at 1080 high

[cinder mason]

hello there, just joined. how are yall doing?

[timid meadow]

Pretty good. Yourself?

[cinder mason]

doing alright

[unkempt widget]

that wizard game 💀

[manic torrent]

Blood libel the game

[timid meadow]

Bruh the nfo for the download was wild but idc the person who did it is a genius.

[cinder mason]

i still hate that i have an i5 4690k and a 1070ti.

those 2 does not fit together

[dull granite]

what is NFO?

[timid meadow]

Why? 1070ti solid

[cinder mason]

cpu bottleneck.

[weak sonnet]

that was a fine pairing

[timid meadow]

An additional file with a message from the person who made the version of the game your downloading

[manic torrent]

Can't get a cheap second hand CPU/mobo upgrade?

9th gen maybe?

[cinder mason]

i need a new socket for that which means a new motherboard

[weak sonnet]

I had a 4670k/1070 that moved into a 4790k/1080ti

[dull granite]

oh yea, guess denuvo didn't do it's job

[manic torrent]

"version"

[dull granite]

it worked alright at sucking ass tho

[manic torrent]

It did.

[dull granite]

it did?!?!

[timid meadow]

They know Denuvo only makes it harder at first. But Theres only one person bypassing it rn, so it clearly does something.

[dull granite]

also i think people who want to avoid paying for it for 'obvious reasons' rather skip the game all together than pirate it to play it without supporting her

[weak sonnet]

yeah the nfo for that release, crazy empress

[timid meadow]

Im honestly planning on buying it out of my tax return. Not the first game ive bought after. Got love for the studio still. They seem to have done well with fragile IP

[dull granite]

hæry poettah

[timid meadow]

Im sure it does. But ya know consumption under capitalism and all that jazz

[dull granite]

"no ethical consumption under capitalism!!!" is my favorite irl 'get out of the prison' card

if you happen to have any social awereness then probably it's harder to make an excuse to consume but i dunno

[timid meadow]

I dont use it to justify. Just to say theres a million other things id rather be worried about. I know im a good person, thats what matters

[dull granite]

for me at least, most important thing is being true to myself

[timid meadow]

Yepp

[dull granite]

if you are okay with your actions then I'm ok with that

[wise goblet]

I used to buy pirated games back in the PS2 days because that's what I could afford

[timid meadow]

Nah, buying them is kinda scuffed. I get that some people need to sometimes but still

[dull granite]

i would consider actions of my purchases but nobody should force you to anything

[timid meadow]

Buying a rip defeats the purpose of the initial rip

[dreamy rose]

did you have fun with Spyro?

[wise goblet]

nowadays I have stuff like the gamepass so in a way they made access to proper versions of games more affordable

[timid meadow]

Gamepass is great value

[dreamy rose]

Sony could never compete

[wise goblet]

I played midnight club 3 dub edition remix, winning eleven, ATLA games and GTA SA almost exclusively

[dreamy rose]

do you know what happens when you pirate Spyro Year Of The Dragon?

[manic torrent]

I mean, we don't want to support her, but games which obviously vilify people are fine.

[wise goblet]

no clue

[manic torrent]

It gets hard.

And then.... It gets harder

[dreamy rose]

its fucking insane.

[manic torrent]

And then it gets impossible.

And then it basically goes in reverse.

[wise goblet]

oh I saw something like that for another game like they added a crazy zombie crawler thing to follow you around kek

[timid meadow]

Is that on all non disc copies? Or are the rips clean of that? Ive never actually played through emulated spyro to see

[dreamy rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GYSeXLr5sY
have a watch

[wise goblet]

will do later since my phone is currently playing in the aux

[dreamy rose]

what you pumpin?

[wise goblet]

right now it's Billy Joel

[dreamy rose]

nice

[wise goblet]

it's probably a radio since the playlist already ended but I don't mind it the song is chill

[dreamy rose]

Piano man?

[wise goblet]

like a Spotify radio

yep Spotify only plays the popular stuff they never throw you a curve ball haha

[dreamy rose]

Eh. i keep everything i could wanna hear on my drive

[wise goblet]

oh I just realized this is a different chat my server usually stays on build a PC that's why I'm seeing some new faces nice to meet you public chat people

[manic torrent]

Forever stuck in whatever year you stopped adding music to it

[dreamy rose]

always adding MIDIs and MP3s to my music folder

nearly got 4GB of that goodness

[manic torrent]

4gb? that.. doesn't seem like very much tbh

yeah you could fit it all on a 2006 4gb ipod nano

[full fossil]

hello bob

[dreamy rose]

1358 files. yeah rookie numbers

[manic torrent]

or even an OG ipod, 2001.

[weak sonnet]

mine is a few TB

[dreamy rose]

a Heich Pee Ipod

[manic torrent]

yo, what shenanigans have you been up to

[full fossil]

been running ethernet in my walls for the past 3 days

[manic torrent]

that's a lot of days to be running ethernet

[full fossil]

yep, just to much stuff in my way rn

I would kill for a cake

[weak sonnet]

I'm eating carrot cake right this second

[full fossil]

[full fossil]

WHAT

[full fossil]

I want a real cake 😭

[full fossil]

[unkempt widget]

[full fossil]

[unkempt widget]

[full fossil]

BigStarMinor

🐈‍⬛

[full fossil]

Lol

[full fossil]

so what you been up to bob.

[light trail]

bob went to get the milk

[full fossil]

Oh no.

[dreamy rose]

goes right to the thighs?

[unkempt widget]

yea lmao

if i stretch my hand out fully and tried circle my thighs, i could not even do it

like not even close

i'd need 3 hands

[manic torrent]

I semi recently built a monitor riser platform to control my monitors height using a stepper motor. I integrated this into home assistant with an ESP32 running esphome. I have it working, but have not yet finalised the wiring and sorted it all out to travel the full distance. My wife sometimes uses home assistant to flash the lights in my office if she needs me for some reason. Today, she mis-tapped slightly, and set the monitor riser to 45cm. I saw and hear it going up, and it wasn't stopping - and it could damage things. I pulled out the first thing I could reach/see, which was the control for the stepper motor. It stopped with the monitors a bit up, but still workable. .... Turns out the ESP32 is fried - and I don't have a spare! Moral of the story? Put an interlock on your monitor riser control so your wife doesn't accidentally change it! I'm sure this will apply to many of you

[heady lion]

I can't get the Afterburner to show the stats, when I run Fortnite
I'll show the necessary screenshots to whosoever replies

[dreamy rose]

copy paste

[unkempt widget]

actually if i put my hand all the way my thighs, i would need 4 hands to circle it

[manic torrent]

.. yes.

[dreamy rose]

Afterburner isnt getting updates anymore. dude behind it is Russian.

[full fossil]

my god

[manic torrent]

... and wasn't getting paid

[dreamy rose]

its very sad

[heady lion]

Isn't the whole MSI company behind it?

[manic torrent]

nope

[dreamy rose]

no. this one guy

[heady lion]

What do youtubers like Hardware Unboxed use to capture framerate then?

[weak sonnet]

MSI stopped paying them

[dreamy rose]

you can still use MSI Afterburner

[manic torrent]

OCAT

[heady lion]

I still have to binge watch LTT, so I am not up to date on what's going on on their channel

[weak sonnet]

https://www.techpowerup.com/303298/msi-afterburner-developer-hasnt-been-paid-for-a-year-product-development-in-limbo

[heady lion]

So, help me set it up, I'll probably understand, why it hasn't been working on multiple games on my system

[dreamy rose]

its a Grey area. Russia's stupid wars and chains leaving russia in protest

[heady lion]

anyway, help me out

I'll send the screenshots that you would need to help

[dreamy rose]

i cant help with that. i've barely ever used it and i have no reason to with my current system when everything is below playable anyway

[manic torrent]

it isn't.

I mean, it's entirely likely their original method of payment may no longer work.

But they tried ... not at all... to get him paid.

[broken hazel]

yo

i found a dude selling an rx570 core only for dirt cheap

[manic torrent]

omg who are you and where did you come from

[broken hazel]

is it possible to like buy the other part separately?

[dreamy rose]

last i heard they were talking

[manic torrent]

yeah, but what I'm saying is it's not grey. There was an issue and they didn't fix it and pay him what he was owed

[timid meadow]

The....core? Like....a gpu die? Post pics

[dreamy rose]

do you know for sure that there are avenues where they can pay him?

[timid meadow]

If you mean the whole pcb then yea you can probably buy a cooler

[broken hazel]

https://media.karousell.com/media/photos/products/2022/6/19/gpu_core_amd_rx580_used_1655649394_0651c8ec_progressive.jpg

[manic torrent]

yes

[unkempt widget]

what song should i add to my playlist

i don't like a specific genre, just give me whatever song

[dreamy rose]

Half Life 2 - Tracking Device

[broken hazel]

in my country this is super cheap

[timid meadow]

You can probably find a cooler for it. At worst youll be forced to watercool it

[broken hazel]

it like easy to put it apart?

like theres no plastic or fans on it

[timid meadow]

The cooler goes on top of what you have. Check ebay for the same gpu but damaged. You can maybe find a dead version of what you have with a working stock cooler.

[full fossil]

no vram lol

[broken hazel]

aww 😦

[timid meadow]

Oof i didnt see that one. Your screwed there afaik

[broken hazel]

currently i have an i3-8100 with intergrated graphics and 4gb ram ddr4

i wanna just play casual games

[trim robin]

Nice

[broken hazel]

so i want to add a good gpu and increase the ram

and also upgrade the psu

yeah

[unkempt widget]

yo i bet you have good music taste, can you recommend me a song?

no

you feel like someone who has a good music taste tbh
