might need to force refresh your discord client

ctrl+r

[tardy terrace]

oh I didn't know that macro, awesome

[tiny saffron]

I'm a monke so if I wanna reset anything I'll just restart the Windows

[dull tapir]

just restart life

ezz

[full fossil]

you are a god damn genius

[gleaming temple]

I just overclocked my 2667 mhz ram all the way up to 4667 mhz, is this safe?

[full fossil]

if your house doesnt blow up it might be safe

[gleaming temple]

Actually, ram doesn't get hotter (I think)

Well if it does, then screw me because I am using a laptop

[full fossil]

ofc im joking

anyways idk man google it

[gleaming temple]

ok

I mean, it said that it is safe but to like this extent? It is like almost double the speed it was before

[dawn pilot]

why do people really buy the mac pro when you can get something like this within the price range + hackintosh it https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MkHrZw

[echo canopy]

hackintosh has questionable stability, might not survive a update, and is a general pain in the ass

[gleaming temple]

It uses an older 3990X threadripper. Maybe that's the reason people don't? Also, an rx 6900 xt is a bad match for any threadripper processor

[echo canopy]

whY NoT WInDowS, and because mac os

[dawn pilot]

have you tried it

im running an amd hack as my main and its fine

[echo canopy]

its a roll of the dice on some systems

[dawn pilot]

im not familiar with workstaiton gpus, hence i chose the best gaming gpu that can be hackintoshed

[dawn pilot]

i suppose so

[gleaming temple]

Not gonna lie, using 3 6900 xt's is the better option

2 is simply not enough

Also, you could have gone with an i9 13900k for a more budget - friendly build

and just overclock it to hell

[dawn pilot]

you could possibly with a riser cable but its more a case of how many you can get on the mobo

[dawn pilot]

i would chose a 64 core threadripper over that anyday

[gleaming temple]

dude, it's like 5 times the price

[dawn pilot]

yes but it is not meant to be budget friendly

it was intended to embarrass the mac pro mid spec

[gleaming temple]

You can still do that with an i9 13900k

You can spend the rest of the budget on quadro rtx's

In my opinion, that is a much better investment

(I'm talking about the quadro rtx 8000)

[dawn pilot]

i mentioned hackintoshing a build like that, nvidia cards dont work

because apple are annoying

[gleaming temple]

Why don't you use windows then?

[dawn pilot]

logic pro, final cut pro

[gleaming temple]

Ah

I mean, you can still use an i9 13900k

[dawn pilot]

to be clear im not buying this anyways

[gleaming temple]

and with the rest of the money, better ram, titanium power supply, better cooler for better overclocking, and 3 rx 6900 xt's instead of 2

Wait, I'm pretty sure you can use 4 rx 6900 xt's in crossfire right?

[dawn pilot]

i mean it is a pretty significant downgrade

[dawn pilot]

probably

[gleaming temple]

How exactly is it a downgrade?

for a slightly worse cpu, you get pretty much twice the gpu performance

[velvet marsh]

Half the multi core cpu performance

[gleaming temple]

Buying a much better cooler with the rest of the money and overclocking the i9 is an easy fix for that

he just bought a random msi magcore liquid for the cpu cooling

[velvet marsh]

You’re not going to overclock the i9 to anywhere near a 64c TR in multi

[gleaming temple]

he can obviously custom loop it and overclock it to maybe 7 gigahertz?

[gleaming temple]

Yeah, but it has much better single core performance

[velvet marsh]

The i9 barely competes with the 32c TR at multi

Even when highly overclocked

[dawn pilot]

64 x 2.9GHz vs 8 x 3GHz & 16 x 2.2GHz

[gleaming temple]

and the threadripper barely competes with the i9 at single core

[gleaming temple]

7GHZ*

Oh yeah btw, don't forget about the fact that you have 2 more gpu's with that

[velvet marsh]

You’re not going to get a 13900k stable at 7ghz

[gleaming temple]

ok CLOSE to 7 ghz

[velvet marsh]

On 8 cores

[gleaming temple]

still much better single core performance though

also keep in mind you have 2 more gpu's

those 2 rx 6900 xt's will get demolished by 4 of them

[velvet marsh]

The big thing is going to be the use case

[dawn pilot]

I mean there would still be budget left

[velvet marsh]

In a lot of instances a single 4090 can destroy 2 or even 4 6900xts

[gleaming temple]

Yeah, but you can't hackintosh it

[velvet marsh]

I mean at that point there’s no use in building a fast machine, you’re limited by MacOS lol

[dawn pilot]

lemme check the mac pro page real quick to get some idea on vega

[gleaming temple]

ask @dawn pilot , he is the one who wants to hackintosh the pc

[dawn pilot]

ever heard of a mac pro

[gleaming temple]

I am still pretty confused on why he would want to hackintosh it

[velvet marsh]

Ever heard of a Halo product?

[dawn pilot]

also you can dual boot

[gleaming temple]

Can you send screenshots here?

[dawn pilot]

of what

[gleaming temple]

a comparison of the 3900x and the 13900k in cinebench

[velvet marsh]

Only if you’re FP or Twitch sub

[gleaming temple]

oh well

anyway, the 13900k beat the 3990x in cinebench by 7000 points

[eager notch]

I went to an estate sale and saw this computer,

WHO THE FUCK PUTS THE MOUSE ON THE LEFT SIDE?

[velvet marsh]

No it doesn’t

[gleaming temple]

He's left handed maybe?

[shut violet]

A left handed person

[eager notch]

I'm still deeply offended

[shut violet]

What the fuck is wrong with you

[dawn pilot]

the thread ripper has a 1.61x higher Cinebench R20 (multi) result

24763vs15350

[shut violet]

There’s potentially a urine bucket on the floor and you’re complaining about where their mouse is

[velvet marsh]

Yeah, that’s a pretty big jump

[gleaming temple]

Did I check the wrong source? I'm pretty sure I saw it get over 7000 points more

[eager notch]

Many things, why do you ask?

[dawn pilot]

where did you check

[gleaming temple]

A random yt video

[velvet marsh]

On r23 the 13900k is about 39k, my 3960x is about 37k

[dawn pilot]

probably have a bias

[velvet marsh]

Or looking at the 3900x lol

[dawn pilot]

you have a thread ripper?

[velvet marsh]

Yeah a 3960x

[gleaming temple]

So for 2000 more points, you spent 3 times the price?

[dawn pilot]

and the 3960x is has 40 less cores

[velvet marsh]

Intel didn’t have anything that came close to this when I got it

[gleaming temple]

Ah, then it's fair

ngl, in my opinion it would be better to sell that threadripper and your motherboard and opt for an intel motherboard and an i9 13900k

you would be saving a lot of money

[dawn pilot]

WHAT IS YOUR THING AGAINST AMD

you are litterally userbenchmark personified

[gleaming temple]

I love amd? I just like saving money, problem?

[dawn pilot]

why would someone change their build that is working perfectly to a slightly slower processor when if they have that money is probably not an issue

[gleaming temple]

Idk, 1000 dollars sounds pretty nice to me

[dawn pilot]

if anything it would be better to switch to amd ryzen 7900x as the socket will probably last longer so more upgrade potential

[gleaming temple]

the 13900k has twice the cores

and more threads

[dawn pilot]

but it will cost less in the long run

[gleaming temple]

No it won't?

[dawn pilot]

wont have to buy a motherboard every gen

[gleaming temple]

And?

Dude, intel's top of the line motherboards are already extremely cheap compared to amd ones

[fervent oracle]

has anything happened to the forum with password resets? my acc got locked for trying to log in saying incorrect pass when its the right 1

[gleaming temple]

Don't know, I don't even check the forum

[dawn pilot]

one mobo vs 5 what costs more

[gleaming temple]

wtf is a mobo

[dawn pilot]

short for motherboard

[gleaming temple]

?

[dawn pilot]

mobo == common abbreviation for motherboard

[gleaming temple]

one mobo

Well, it doesn't matter much, since the i9 13900k absolutely dunks on the 7900x

in multi core performance

[dawn pilot]

i mean in real world a user probably wouldnt notice the differnce

[gleaming temple]

How so?

[dawn pilot]

i didnt notice a differnce between 4 and 8 cores when i upgraded

[gleaming temple]

well I sure as hell did

[mint yacht]

Then you are not someone who plays the latest games, which can leverage the extra cores
Or used programs which can make use of them all, in general

[dawn pilot]

possibly true, but i do play some triple a games and i do have a massive gpu bottle neck

[gleaming temple]

It did make a massive difference in video editing and cinebench

[sudden kettle]

is it possible to make razer synapse macros work for my gmmk?

[gleaming temple]

No idea

[dawn pilot]

i was kinda forced to upgrade because my motherboard died and it was cheaper to upgrade

[gleaming temple]

Then?

[dawn pilot]

most probably not, it wont show up

[sudden kettle]

Well I'm trying to bind it to a key on it

I'm currently using a razer keyboard next to me

[gleaming temple]

You can try using another macro software

[sudden kettle]

to toggle the macro on and off

[dawn pilot]

razer make their software for razer products

[sudden kettle]

I need the scroll up and scroll down option, and a lot macro softwares that have that, unfortunately have viruses

[gleaming temple]

Then try finding a safe one

[sudden kettle]

I tried installing tgmacro and got multiple red flags from virus total

[gleaming temple]

Then try again

[dawn pilot]

not with the same one

[sudden kettle]

Not sure what other ones there are lol

[gleaming temple]

Idk man, try searching for one

[dawn pilot]

i agree just look for an article from a trusted source

[sudden kettle]

What's the worst a virus can do?

[dawn pilot]

encrypt all your files

infect your bios sometimes

[gleaming temple]

If you don't have any valuable information, then pretty much it is just annoying and nothing more

[dawn pilot]

steal all your data

lag your pc

[gleaming temple]

reinstall windows

[dawn pilot]

crash your pc

[shut violet]

It might put you in prison

[full fossil]

Is the h7 elite back fan 120?

[gleaming temple]

literally, just reinstall windows

[dawn pilot]

not worth the risk

[full fossil]

Cause i might get lian li or nzxt fans for the back

[gleaming temple]

It can't do that

[shut violet]

Virus are srs bsns

[gleaming temple]

I mean it can, but you can just reinstall motherboard drivers

[dawn pilot]

some can mess with ssd firmware

[gleaming temple]

Like I said, reinstall motherboard drivers

[sudden kettle]

https://youtu.be/LfBaHblsAmE

[dawn pilot]

its easier to find something thats not a virus

[sudden kettle]

do you guys think it's safe?

[gleaming temple]

Already clicked it, I think it is

[sudden kettle]

like the macro recorder lol

[gleaming temple]

just a youtube video about macro stuff

[sudden kettle]

the youtube link is ofc safe

[gleaming temple]

Ooooooh, no idea what that is

[sudden kettle]

should I trust some guy with 2k subs to get me to download smth?

[dawn pilot]

see if there is other articles about that software, the channel owner seems to have developed the software

[gleaming temple]

look for reviews or the comments, and make sure they aren't bot reviews or bot comments

[dawn pilot]

the problem with comments is negitve ones can be deleted

[gleaming temple]

Oh yeah btw, is overclocking 2667 mhz ddr4 laptop ram all the way up to 4667 mhz safe?

[dawn pilot]

it depends, does it crash

[gleaming temple]

Nope

[dawn pilot]

in a stress test?

[gleaming temple]

in fact, I saw a 60 fps gain in the game known as ultrakill

Didn't try a stress test yet, but it doesn't show any sign of instability

[dawn pilot]

do a stress test

[gleaming temple]

what software do I use to do a stress test

[dawn pilot]

memtest86

[gleaming temple]

you sure it is safe?

[dawn pilot]

its built into several os

idk about windows

[pliant karma]

I have mines on a bootable usb.

[gleaming temple]

how do I download it

[dawn pilot]

you can get memtest64 on windows

[gleaming temple]

do I need a usb?

[dawn pilot]

for 86

just google how to do it because igtg

[pliant karma]

Been a while since I did any test on my ram, then again my kit does not take overclocking/cl tightening well.

[gleaming temple]

I literally just got the blue screen of death

well, I guess overclocking your ddr4 ram to over 4600 mhz isn't safe

what a surprise! I have never expected that (pun intented)

[frigid chasm]

overclocking ram is a bit risky

[fluid ridge]

weak ram

[gleaming temple]

Makes sense, I'm using a laptop

[frigid chasm]

i would never do it but only because my cpu and motherboard suck

[fluid ridge]

my 12600k is boosting to 9ghz right now and i overclocked my 3200mhz factory memory to 6600 (without xmp) 💪

[frigid chasm]

im buying ryzen i hate intel

[fluid ridge]

you would not believe me if i told you how fast my gpu was pushing fr

[gleaming temple]

Why? Intel has some pretty neat high end processors for a more budget friendly build

[frigid chasm]

no reason

[fluid ridge]

AMD is much more efficient

[gleaming temple]

What do you mean by efficient?

[fluid ridge]

if you want productivity, go for a normal X series, if you want gaming, go for X3D

[frigid chasm]

going from ryzen 5 1600 to ryzen 5 7600

[fluid ridge]

as in does not draw 14000 watts of energy

[frigid chasm]

should be a small upgrade

[fluid ridge]

power to performance ratio

[gleaming temple]

The i9 13900k has much better productivity in my opinion

I mean, 24 cores for 500 bucks is an amazing deal

[fluid ridge]

yeah but it also draws a shit ton more power

[mint yacht]

Gotta remember the difference between P and E cores

[fluid ridge]

honestly depending on the type of productivity work go for apple's M series instead

[gleaming temple]

A good cooler can solve that

[frigid chasm]

im not slowly upgrading my pc i waited 3 years without touching it and now i am buying a whole new pc

[gleaming temple]

8 p cores and 16 e cores are still better than some deals today

[fluid ridge]

i dont think any cooler thats not a custom loop can fully reign in the heat the 13900k produces

[gleaming temple]

A custom loop isn't that expensive if you buy the right parts

[fluid ridge]

3 years is relatively short

[fluid ridge]

yeah but the work involved

[gleaming temple]

it just needs time. Also, you can simply switch the fans on an AIO liquid cooler

[frigid chasm]

it was outdated when i bought it

[fluid ridge]

well fair i guess

[mint yacht]

As a person who has built a custom loop using the cheapest, yet still proven-reliable parts that I could find
It still cost about 90% of the cost of the system itself

[frigid chasm]

im buying a ryzen 5 7600 and 3060 ti so i can play valorant on low settings

[fluid ridge]

back to what i said earlier, if you're a video editor or a photo editor or whatever buy a mac studio if you can afford it

[frigid chasm]

i am a video editor but i dont like mac

[fluid ridge]

truly a tragedy

final cut pro optimization for apple silicon is so airtight i dont even think nanoatoms would be able to get in between

[gleaming temple]

Same, macs are more overpriced than beverages in a restaurant

[frigid chasm]

premiere pro solos anyway

[fluid ridge]

blackmagic did a really good job optimizing resolve for M1 and M2 too

[fluid ridge]

bro premiere is actual garbanzo

[frigid chasm]

i need to buy a firewire card that works

[pliant karma]

lol went back to using final cut x for a bit. hmmm might switch over to that when I get my M2.

[gleaming temple]

i9 13900k dunks on the new m2 chip ngl

[fluid ridge]

depends

[frigid chasm]

the one i bought off ebay does not work

[fluid ridge]

x86 vs arm, they are different and will have different benefits and advantages

[fluid ridge]

also i thought about buying FCP for a long time, i still might but i really am used to resolve at this point

[wispy marsh]

Hello people

[frigid chasm]

anyone have one that works?

[fluid ridge]

i started video editing on premiere, moved to resolve, looked into FCP (mainly for performance benefits) then went back to resolve

[fluid ridge]

https://www.amazon.com/FireWire-Port-Cards

[gleaming temple]

The i9 13900k is a must if you are on a budget for video editing

[pliant karma]

Ima see if one of my film prof's can pass me a davinci resolve studio activation code from the 6 BMK 6k Pros we got recently

[gleaming temple]

Well, intel's dual xeon cpu's are a pretty good option too

[fluid ridge]

bro's bout to get 400 dollar software for free

[pliant karma]

Literally I get freebie shit from them constantly

[fluid ridge]

uh what? sorry i dont understand what this means

[gleaming temple]

but ngl, it is for like extreme budget builds, since it xeon's only support dd4

[frigid chasm]

i have my interview for film school next tuesday

[fluid ridge]

how is the 13900k budget

[marsh jungle]

doesn't compare to the media encoders and efficiency on macs for editing though

[gleaming temple]

Well not budget, but it is cheaper compared to other good video editing processors. For example: Any threadripper

[fluid ridge]

orrrrr you can save your money and go with a mac studio

[pliant karma]

here is the fun part. Lost and Found stuff in the equipment checkout room stay there for a month max then after it's whoever found it keeps it, unless the checkout people take it

[frigid chasm]

orrr you can save your money and use a ryzen 3 2600

[pliant karma]

like a longboard

[gleaming temple]

The cheapest mac studio costs 1800 dollars, yeah right

[fluid ridge]

nobody editing a video on a 2600 bro

[frigid chasm]

id do it

[fluid ridge]

that is way cheaper than a 13900k 4090 build

[frigid chasm]

fuck i edit on a 1600

[gleaming temple]

and that is in Hong Kong. In the U.S, it is probably like 4000 dollars

[fluid ridge]

bro sauce me one of them codes if you get 2 of them

[gleaming temple]

what is a 1600

[frigid chasm]

ryzen 5 1600

[fluid ridge]

3fps 720p timeline moment

[gleaming temple]

bro I got a 4 core i7

[fluid ridge]

19 hour export time (it's a 480p video)

[gleaming temple]

laptop cpu btw

[marsh jungle]

I got a dual core i7, beat that

[frigid chasm]

honestly it works not too bad

[gleaming temple]

I can't even export 1080p videos, it simply doesn't have the power to do that

[fluid ridge]

i edit on a 12600k 3070 setup and my rig eats shit if i go past 4k 60

[gleaming temple]

Does that exist?

[marsh jungle]

I have a i7-6500U

[gleaming temple]

Ah, then it makes sense

[frigid chasm]

and i film on a 25mbps bitrate

[marsh jungle]

that 1600 certainly better than my fx-6350 hot 125W 3 core junk

[fluid ridge]

yeah i cant edit footage if i use max settings on my iphone camera (4k 60, h265)

[gleaming temple]

I literally can't even use my cpu unless I limit the usage. It gets up to 97 degrees celcius playing roblox. I am literally not joking

[frigid chasm]

canon gl1 my beloved

[gleaming temple]

It sometimes peaks around 100 and before you ask, I dusted it and replaced the thermal paste

[frigid chasm]

so my new pc will be so much nicer for video editing and valorant

[fluid ridge]

valorant mid

the real ones play CS 💪

[frigid chasm]

oh no! i guess i will have to quit! bffr

[pliant karma]

Yesterday student research presentation event. Lol I came there for extra credit and help my friend live stream the award ceremony. And then I get dragged into working with the photo/video crew

[gleaming temple]

Nah bro the real ones go outside

[wispy marsh]

Alright, yall. Would you rather

1. Buy and use an iPhone 14 Pro Max
2. Enjoy an entire can of Surstromming weekly

[frigid chasm]

im not big on all of the transphobia and racism

[glad mist]

The fuck is surstromming

[frigid chasm]

not a cine rig must be amatuer

[gleaming temple]

both

[fluid ridge]

that looks dope and im glad to see that you look like you're enjoying what you're doing, and that looks fun too

[gleaming temple]

food from sweden

[wispy marsh]

Emergency food

[fluid ridge]

it's a core part of the CS experience

[wispy marsh]

You swedish freak

[pliant karma]

my personal camera. I could have borrowed the film dep stuff but ehhh run and gun was my thing

[fluid ridge]

are you really playing CSGO if there is not a slur hurled every 13 seconds

[glad mist]

Fermented herring… sounds nasty

[frigid chasm]

damn ur game sucks then i enjoy the mostly positive playerbase of valorant

[gleaming temple]

Real ones go outside and yell racist words

[fluid ridge]

hey man dont knock it if you try it

[fluid ridge]

i simply enjoy and play the original game, play the best not the followers

[frigid chasm]

i personally much prefer camcorders and cine cams i would never touch a dslr

[fluid ridge]

ive said this so many times but every single one of riots games have been blatantly taking concepts from valve's games, the parallels are so similar that i dont think riot has ever needed to hire a game designer

if you saw league and then saw dota after you'd think dota was a league copy, but no it's the other way around

if you saw tf2 and cs and then saw valorant the similarities are so striking even the gun classes are the same

[gleaming temple]

I don't know man, but going outside is better than any game in my opinion

[frigid chasm]

valve makes the most basic of video games bffr

[gleaming temple]

Yeah, and they were the first ones to implement those concepts (I think)

[fluid ridge]

they still go hard and still go strong though

[echo canopy]

Valorant is more of a mix of TF2 and OW

[frigid chasm]

valorant better

[gleaming temple]

going outside better

[red marten]

have you played a lot of valves games?

[fluid ridge]

valorant is much more CS adjacent than it is TF2/OW adjacent

[frigid chasm]

yes

[fluid ridge]

even planting the bomb turned into planting the spike

[pliant karma]

Lol I caused some confusion since they had a list of volunteers, was never apart of it. Still gave me a badge so win win.

[fluid ridge]

there's a version of the scout (a weak sniper) and a version of the awp, a strong sniper

[frigid chasm]

that is how bomb defusal gamemodes work
in ever game

[frigid chasm]

ssg=marshall
awp=op
phantom=m4a1s
vandal=ak

[gleaming temple]

I'm pretty sure the scout's main weapon is a shotgun

[frigid chasm]

etc etc etc

[fluid ridge]

the scout in cs is a weaker awp

[leaden gale]

I sure do love it when my tactical team-based shooter has utility locked to specific characters rather than it being standardized

[fluid ridge]

they nerfed the fuck out of the awp though so now the scout is about the same

[frigid chasm]

but the guns on each side are standardised

i also appreaciate not being called slurs or being vote kicked the second i speak

[leaden gale]

And? Util not being standardized is my main gripe with the game

[leaden gale]

I've literally never had that happen in 5 years of playing CS

[fluid ridge]

truly a skill issue

[frigid chasm]

true, but i am a trans girl

[fluid ridge]

just dont tell the lobby that

[leaden gale]

What does that have to do with anything

[frigid chasm]

the sound of my voice does

[leaden gale]

Uh

[fluid ridge]

yeah idk, try using text chat then
csgo has not the most polite playerbase for sure

[leaden gale]

Yeah, that was never in question

[frigid chasm]

or i can just play valorant and be able to comm

[leaden gale]

Agent-based util bad

[fluid ridge]

i dont like valorant because riot is completely unoriginal

[frigid chasm]

a lot of it is the same stuff just different colours

[fluid ridge]

but it's a chinese company, not the first time that has happened

[frigid chasm]

csgo is a copy of cs source

cs2 is a copy of csgo

[fluid ridge]

[leaden gale]

Also agent-based special abilities that you charge up over the course of the game bad

[fluid ridge]

[frigid chasm]

adds another layer of complexity

[leaden gale]

If I wanted unique operator-based utility, I'd play R6S

[fluid ridge]

truly a linuth moment

[fluid ridge]

R6 is fun if you ignore the fact that it was made by ubisoft

[frigid chasm]

r6 got worse after like year 5

[fluid ridge]

ubisoft has that touch

[dawn pilot]

@gleaming temple did you sort out your ram?

[leaden gale]

I know it sounds like I'm knocking Val just because, but here's the thing: I don't think the game is terrible, it's just not for me

[gleaming temple]

sort out?

[dawn pilot]

do the test

[leaden gale]

I remember playing the Open Beta, and I enjoyed it

[gleaming temple]

I got a blue screen before I could do the test

[leaden gale]

But after not playing for a while and trying to get into it again, I had no idea what the fuck was going on at any given point

[dawn pilot]

so probably not a good oc then

[gleaming temple]

turns out, overclocking laptop ddr4 ram all the way up to 4667 mhz isn't safe. Who would have guessed! (pun intended)

[leaden gale]

At least with CS, I can count on the game not radically changing on me

[dawn pilot]

did you turn it all the way up or something

[fluid ridge]

yeah because valve is too lazy to update their games

[leaden gale]

Just the occasional balance adjustment

[gleaming temple]

yup, 2000 mhz increase

[fluid ridge]

making valve give a shit about any of their games challenge (impossible)

[dawn pilot]

ye with oc you have to do it gradually

its still probably worth trying to overclock

[fluid ridge]

but the surprising part of CS is that even 10 years later it still has 1M+ online active players

[gleaming temple]

With oc? Nope, I tried it with afterburner

[fluid ridge]

yesterday i checked the steam charts at like 8PM PDT and it had 1.1 million people on

[dawn pilot]

no oc meaning overclock

[gleaming temple]

Well, this time, I'll try overclocking it to just shy of 4000 mhz

[dawn pilot]

afterburner is for gpu tho?

[gleaming temple]

It is also for memory? Didn't you know that? It is also the safest

[dawn pilot]

start from stock speed and go up by like 100

[gleaming temple]

and it also works on the cpu

[dawn pilot]

no for VRAM i knew but i didnt know it could do ram

ive just been doing it from bios

[gleaming temple]

I know that, it isn't my first time overclocking. I usually pick somewhere between a 600 mhz overclock, but today I decided to try 2000

[leaden gale]

Because the formula works

[fluid ridge]

true

cs will always have a special place in my heart

[leaden gale]

Games don't always have to be "innovating" to be good and have staying power

[fluid ridge]

its been 2 years since i last seriously played but it's still my most played game in terms of hours

[dawn pilot]

ok i thought it was because it seemed silly to put it that much higher and expect it to work

[gleaming temple]

It did for like 10 minutes

[dawn pilot]

which is impressive

[gleaming temple]

and surprisingly it didn't show any signs of instability

[dawn pilot]

silicon lottery worked out for you

[gleaming temple]

I'll try overclocking it to 4400 mhz

back

alright, 4400 mhz ram

showing no signs of instablity, which is great. I'll try playing some games

brb

[dawn pilot]

ok

[gleaming temple]

My laptop just restarded, damn. I'll try 4000 mhz now

It refreshed again, I'll try 3800 mhz now

Looks like that's the sweet spot, I'll keep it that way

[young moon]

Now me personally i would go 1mhz higher until i crash

[atomic jetty]

I think i messed up.
I just updated a bios from like 2014 and now only the bios screen shows, but windows doesnt load.
How do i fix this?

I downloaded a virus that was attached to a setup that I didn't execute; should I reinstall windows?

[dull granite]

any music recommendations for boykissing?

[gleaming temple]

Depends. If you have a bunch of stuff you are way too lazy to re-install then try downloading an anti virus. If not, reinstalling windows is the safest option

I used to have Shadow, but I had to cancel it because of my ping issues.

So i bought an Xbox.

[gleaming temple]

Console gamer?

[sudden kettle]

does the normal windows anti virus work well?

[worn carbon]

so from shadow to xbox

[worn carbon]

it's decent, use hitmanpro or malwarebytes to scan your pc

[gleaming temple]

that crap scans your pc like how 18+ rated sites check if you are over 18

So no, it sucks

[shut violet]

Windows defender is fine.

[stray apex]

Yes, just don't do anything too stupid

[gleaming temple]

No it's not

[gleaming temple]

If it literally doesn't detect anything, just opt for avast or some other major anti virus

[shut violet]

Ok yes go for Norton bro

[gleaming temple]

Norton is a vpn...

[stray apex]

No lmao
Antivirus software is shit

[shut violet]

ROFL

[stray apex]

Please avoid spreading misinformation online for fun thanks

[full fossil]

motivational song because yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5-yKhDd64s

[fossil frost]

tbh, it is, it uses the same signatures and same heuristics that all others do... all the AVs are essentially the same core app now, with different bloat and different money making scams added on top

[gleaming temple]

So he's supposed to re install terabytes worth of storage?

[pliant karma]

First thing you do when getting a new laptop uninstall it

[stray apex]

Do you actually know anything about this topic

[gleaming temple]

Oh actually, it's both. It is an anti virus and a vpn

[shut violet]

They do not

[stray apex]

Windows defender is not significantly better or worse at detection than any other antivirus software, but it's built in, free, and by far the least annoying

[shut violet]

Yep

[full fossil]

.........

[stray apex]

This makes it the best by default for consumer use

[gleaming temple]

That's true if you love trojans roaming around your pc

[stray apex]

If you're a business or something, you might want a more restrictive antivirus that's more configurable, but normal users have no use for that

[fossil frost]

and that is just uninformed nonsense

[shut violet]

Completely correct @stray apex

[elfin jetty]

Unless you are going and doing shady shit you should be fine

[gleaming temple]

proof?

[full fossil]

acctualy windows is great for a free antivirus

[stray apex]

Guy really saying that Norton isn't an antivirus 🤡

[shut violet]

Proof?

[worn carbon]

I don't like Norton for their shady practices

[elfin jetty]

Norton crypto miner anyone?

[stray apex]

Yes, it's all you need, and it's very unintrusive

[worn carbon]

They said that I had to renew Norton 360 when I never signed up for Norton ,360

[stray apex]

It probably came with your laptop

[fossil frost]

https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/ the place dedicated to testing different AVs say that they are all almost identical to each other...

[gleaming temple]

Sure https://www.minitool.com/data-recovery/fix-windows-defender-wont-scan.html

[worn carbon]

I bought my laptop in 2016, got the email in 2022

[shut violet]

That is nonsense

[gleaming temple]

Explain

[worn carbon]

Norton wasn't even norton360 at that time

[stray apex]

I mean
Nobody ever said Norton was good
It is, however, definitely an antivirus

[elfin jetty]

Dude..

[gleaming temple]

Also it seems you guys are saying that I am saying that he should download Norton. I never said that, It would be better to download a good and trusted anti virus instead of using the built in windows defender

[shut violet]

That whole page is tellling you how to use windows defender, why didn’t you read it before sending the link?

[fossil frost]

that isnt describing any particular problem, its just "windows defender wont scan? reboot!"... any real site would describe "problem X usually causes Y, which stops windows defender from working... so to fix it, you do Z"... but this site is literally just an SEO farm for ads

[elfin jetty]

One sec

[fossil frost]

windows defender IS a good and trusted antivirus... used by 10s of millions of people and companies, and is tested against all other antivirus apps, and is just as good as any of them

[stray apex]

No, I'm saying that the fact that your immediate response to Norton, one of the first and longest lived antivirus companies in the world was "that's a vpn" shows that you have no fucking idea what's going on

[pliant karma]

I approve on the meat canyon background

[full fossil]

ok imo i so far had the best experoance with bit defender anti virus

[pliant karma]

Or somewhere else

[elfin jetty]

Damn i cant change my server username, i was gonna go with seabiscuit

[gleaming temple]

It's both a vpn and an anti virus...

[shut violet]

Indeed!!

[elfin jetty]

[dull granite]

met canyon?

[shut violet]

But you didn’t know this

[gleaming temple]

and?

[elfin jetty]

That isnt meatcanyon

[shut violet]

My god, what a pointless argument this has become

[stray apex]

1. You did not know this
2. How the fuck do you associate Norton with Vpns more than antivirus

[pliant karma]

shit lol

[shut violet]

Windows defender is fine, to the person originally asking for the advice

[full fossil]

agreed shold we jjst change up the topic?

[gleaming temple]

Because I never used Norton as an anti virus?

[fossil frost]

what you are doing, is just mindlessly bashing something microsoft created, because its microsoft, which stopped being fun or funny, about 10 years ago now... so you are pretty late to the party on this. if you are going to pretend to be knowledgeable on a subject, dont pretend in front of people who are actually knowledgeable on that subject

[gleaming temple]

you are the one who started it

[shut violet]

Christ almighty

[gleaming temple]

imma hop off

[stray apex]

That doesn't matter
Norton is literally the default example for antivirus software
You have to actually just know literally nothing about this to make that mistake

[full fossil]

ok ok listen shold we all just agree that windows is great for a free antivirus but there are better paid alternatives

It works well enough for most people - these days, your best defense against malicious attacks is scrutinizing emails like the plague (they can be easily forged), browsing with an Ad Blocker (and avoiding anything that feels sketchy), and never trusting anyone who calls you claiming to be from XYZ company.

i probably have it worse than you did bullying wise

my son has had a few people try and bully him in school now, because hes literally top of his class, and good at football (real football, not american bullshit)... he initially started to get upset quite easily about it, and sometimes still does (hes only 11), but hes very quickly learned a lot of lessons... one boy tried last week actually, to try and turn a bunch of people against him... so my son, during PE, when they were playing football, went in for a tackle on this bully, and, rather than keeping his studs in a safe position, he quickly flicked them up, and back down again, to make sure this bully got a nice stud mark on the legs and a HUGE painful bruise... he came home and told me about it... and i said "its not what you should have done... but... and i would have told you off if you had gotten caught by the teacher, but, since you didnt get caught and they deserved it, we will say no more about it"... hes also a central defender, and about 8 inches taller and about 15lbs heavier than most of the kids in his class, so when they run in to tackle him, they bounce off 😄 ... hes already very quickly learning how to mentally and physically deal with being bullied, because of my direction,

The worst insult is calling a football player harry maguire

Nothing is more anguishing than that insult

[full fossil]

And in what way is this tech related

And harry maguire isn’t bad just put him ca

this is public chat we talk abt anything

[glacial sand]

Football has “tech”niques

[glacial sand]

It has tech in it

Its tech related

[fossil frost]

it depends... if they just took a penalty, or any sort of shot on goal, and kicked it high enough to enter orbit... then yes, its an insult... to call any player harry maguire in any other way... hes a quality player, just poor at finishing... but given that hes not a centre forward, he doesnt need to be good at finishing

[full fossil]

He’s great at finishing (on his own goal)

[glacial sand]

Missing any shot will make you harry maguire

[full fossil]

He never misses tho

[glacial sand]

[fossil frost]

in fact, my son took a penalty a few weeks ago at football training, and did the exact same thing, kicked it so high over the goal, that he was in danger of killing some birds... and the whole team were jokingly calling him "harry" for the next 2 or 3 sessions after that

[full fossil]

Sad tbh

Luckily when i play football i play as a lb/rb or a rm lm

[glacial sand]

My friend shot a goal so far beyond the school it went outside of 3 neighbor hoods, everyone called him harry for the next 3 weeks

I genuinely suck at shooting

[full fossil]

He shot a goal dayum

I missclicked

[fossil frost]

my son is a defensive mid fielder (used to be a centre back), so has no business taking penalties, but it was shooting practice

[glacial sand]

He didnt goal

[full fossil]

I can shoot accurately but like no shot power at all

So i tend to play rb lb rm lm cuz i can pass rlly good but that’s about it and i can defend decently but no physical

💀

[fossil frost]

my son is gonna be more of a jordan henderson/Jude Bellingham/Declan Rice type player... sit back in midfield, be a shield for the CB, but be able to move forward and support the AM or ST

[full fossil]

With am you mean cam I suppose?

[fossil frost]

yea

[full fossil]

But i like the dribbling style of play personally but i dont like it when ppl dont pass

It's developing feelings

I might just join a team and start playing regularly again and hope that my knee will keep up

[fossil frost]

what bothers me is ball greedy players who try to play the entire game by themselves and think they can, but are constantly turning the ball over because they dont realise they are playing as part of a team and have options around them

[fossil frost]

my knee is toast, from rugby, and also from being run over when on a bike race 😄

in most "football towns", that would not have been handled well by your team mates, or their team mates, i can tell you for a fact, kids, or adults, fun/armature or pro team, they would have had the shit kicked out of them if that happened on any pitch i have been to

Nah unfortunate accident during a cornerkick

[vapid smelt]

My knee was fucked by getting run over by a car/trailer

[fossil frost]

ah ok, fair enough then... accidents happen, unfortunately.. though if it did happen on purpose, they would have known about it and felt the consequences of it

taxi hit me when it ran a red light (through a fucking closed road too), while i was in a bike race. tore my knee ligaments, ankle ligaments, tore my calf, and broke 3 ribs too

[full fossil]

Yea it happens ig when i use my left knee to much now it starts hurting like hell and yes i am left footed but I’ll probs still start playing again

[fossil frost]

if you can swim... swim.. as much as you are able... thats what physio gave to me to fix my knee... non load bearing, and you use your legs a lot in swimming

[full fossil]

Last week some guy driving 100kmh in my neighborhood hit my but im good so all fine

[full fossil]

I bike everywhere i go and i dont like swimming to much

[fossil frost]

as long as you make sure you pedal straight and dont twist your knee, cycling will improve your knee more than you know, and... as long as you are spinning rather than grinding 🙂

[full fossil]

Im 100% i know how to ride a bike and i also know how to get hit by a car while on bike and only get a bit of pain without broken bones

I hope i can make my way back onto the pitch again in the end

Also my condition is fucked

Everytime I see a War Thunder advertisment on some LTT video. I wonder do they know about the Terrorist funding allegations Gaijin had last year. i wouldn't touch a company like that with a 10 foot pole after that kind of allegations.

[vapid smelt]

Allegations means nothing

[stray apex]

well, they're not really allegations

they sponsored a youtube channel that was associated with ukrainian separatists or something

[full fossil]

yeah. and that wasn't the first time like this. one time there was news about one of the founders working for the FSB and starting the company with the FSB money. Then Gaijin being the perfect front for money laundering and Russian propoganda machine because it's technically a "European company"

i js realized that every construction worker who has worked on renovating my house was either mexican or like next level american.

[glass lantern]

this is why I have a backup of my OS drive because you can't trust Windows.

[sudden kettle]

are there any trustable antiviruses?

[granite tinsel]

i have a mac so skate or die bitches

[granite tinsel]

windows defender is good enough

you won't get much of an edge with the others anymore

certainly not worth the cost of admission

[sudden kettle]

I downloaded drivers from https://drivers.razersupport.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view because my razer device wasn't being detected, and I got this from virus total: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0e68dead0b4e39a89bd9a82de4b682dab8a79181e38c9c1043d97adcaf52b2af

[glass lantern]

Honestly for my next PC upgrade I wanna so I can run linux as the master OS and just virtulize windows and with GPU passthough I don't even need to give up much performance, means I need 2 GPUs and what 12 cores minimum and I mean 12 high performance cores so Intel is not an option at the moment.

[sudden kettle]

not sure if I should factory reset again

[glass lantern]

would really prefer 16 cores though

[granite tinsel]

did defender catch it?

[sudden kettle]

No, but I've downloaded viruses without defender catching it before

[granite tinsel]

yeah, probably reset then

[thorny axle]

Is there a reason you’d need high performance cores

[glass lantern]

I just keep my backup drive dissconnected and don't download doggy stuff, the times I have had to use my back up has purely been to bad windows patches.

[granite tinsel]

can't be too sure

[sudden kettle]

what if I didn't run the exe file?

[granite tinsel]

oh, then you're good

if it's a trojan then its payload only activates when you run it

[tidal python]

Should I upgrade my ram I have 3000 mhz ram Ryzen 9 5900x and rtx 3070 what and if it is limiting my components what is a better option to upgrade to?

[sudden kettle]

tysm

[glass lantern]

Well it's split between 2 machines, so really it means that each system would only get 6 cores each which is really the minimum performance cores you want

[granite tinsel]

np! make sure to delete it tho LOL

[glass lantern]

and as why I can't use the e cores, latency.

[sudden kettle]

Ye, I did

[glass lantern]

really to be honest using the e cores wouldn't be that horrible if it were not for the latency.

[thorny axle]

I mean, it’s 4p+8e vs 8p

[vapid smelt]

Only 2 options for modern consumer hardware 7950x or the x3d

[thorny axle]

Calling the 7950X3D an option is offensive

[stray apex]

hey, some people want to donate to the AMD enrichment fund

[glass lantern]

games don't work well with less than 6p cores, because they basically don't touch the e core because the e cores have so much higher latency the game ends up having to wait around for the e cores so lower frame rates than just using 4p cores.

and really 4C8T aint good enough nowerdays.

6C12T is really where you want to be.

[thorny axle]

I mean, the difference is that the ecores handle all the background tasks, so you don’t need to sacrifice performance from the performance cores

[fallen cedar]

depends heavily what youre playing, most games are still single threaded loads

[glass lantern]

8C16T is nice and does give to a slight performance bump in some games

[glass lantern]

Yes bit but it doesn't change the fact that I only have

4C8T for games

[stray apex]

what, are you a hardcore strategy gamer or something?

[glass lantern]

Hu most games that have came out in the last 5 years see scaling with 6C12T processors.

from 4C8T*

[thorny axle]

Have you looked how they do with p+e combos yet? Since they obviously function differently

It’s not really like all 6C are going to be 100% allocated to the game

[glass lantern]

Yeh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqB96Bdsb4M

[thorny axle]

Well, you have two options

7950X and X3D, if you can even call that an option

[glass lantern]

Na I'm not planning to upgrade until Zen 5

[thorny axle]

Which seems like a lot to pay for gaming

[glass lantern]

or if Intel has something with a bunch of p cores for around the same price.

not going to hold my breath on that one

[thorny axle]

Fair enough

[stray apex]

I mean
xeon w5 2455x is 12 p cores for a measly 1059

be cool if they would actually sell the cheaper ones retail

[thorny axle]

Hey, it’s only 1241

Idk why this one is $200 more expensive

[glass lantern]

yeh it's only $359 more expenive than a 7950X3D and with 4 less cores.

[thorny axle]

Ah, it’s on sale

[stray apex]

but think of the pcie lanes

[thorny axle]

$1041

[glass lantern]

and I don't need PCIe or more memory bandwidth

[thorny axle]

Yes you do

[glass lantern]

PCIe 5 x8 will be fine for a GPU for a LONG ass time

[thorny axle]

Famous last words tbh

[glass lantern]

like we were doing fine with PCIe 3 x8 until like the 3090

and PCIe 5 x8 is like 4x that.

[vapid smelt]

7950x3d is a great option for a dual production/ gaming PC all you need to do is disable half the CPU when gaming

[stray apex]

I mean
you could also buy a 13900k and not bother with that jank

[vapid smelt]

True

[thorny axle]

Just got to invest a bit more in cooling

[stray apex]

ideally they'd update it to do that automatically

[glass lantern]

you just have the e core jank

[vapid smelt]

And be able to use higher end ram to with the 13900k

[stray apex]

you can literally use an air cooler and it's generally fine

[tardy terrace]

aa i love my new chair

[thorny axle]

I mean, you leave a bit of performance on the table

Probably still faster than a 7950X

[thorny axle]

Not sure I’d call that jank, since they actually work

[stray apex]

I mean
not much

[glass lantern]

They don't work for gaming though so it's basically exactly the same trade

[stray apex]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o74u1u642I&t=656s
this guy must've won the coldplate flatness lottery or something with that u12

[thorny axle]

lol

[stray apex]

nah, they still do other stuff
you don't literally turn them off

[glass lantern]

to be fair Intel's solution to lassoing the cores is more elegant, but when you come down to it it's the same thing

[thorny axle]

You don’t have to shut them off to game

Name a game that actually has a meaningful benefit in being able to use more than 8 performance cores

[stray apex]

ashes of the singularity, probably

[thorny axle]

Actually?

[stray apex]

I dunno

that game supports every technology invented by humanity

they'll probably leak quantum processers on that game

[glass lantern]

Are you not making my point for me, and again I am using I want to use the extra cores to virtualize windows because I don't trust it anymore.

[thorny axle]

So would going from 8 to 16 be like going from 400fps to 600

[stray apex]

(it's actually quite old so idk if it really supports it)

[glass lantern]

and I want at least 6p cores for each machine

[thorny axle]

Just use the ecores to virtualize windows : }

[glass lantern]

preferably 8

considering I want to use Windows primeraly for gaming that would be really dumb

[thorny axle]

Just let 2 of them be loaded up with system interrupts

[glass lantern]

was hoping AMD were gonna go for 24 core for Zen 5 but according to leaks only 16...

just so I could get a 16 core for cheaper maybe

I don't actually need or want 24 cores

[vapid smelt]

I don't trust his test, using different lga mounting brackets for coolers, no noise normalized test, and he didn't do multiple mounts for each cooler

[stray apex]

eh
the point is that performance isn't significantly different

[dreamy rose]

yk they are going 16 core on Zen 4 laptops too

[thorny axle]

I just noticed rumors say meteor lake will be 6p 16e

Seriously about to go back to non-hyperthreading again

[glass lantern]

I think it's laptop only

[thorny axle]

I heard that too

[vapid smelt]

Somehow this did better than a nhd15 chromax black...

[glass lantern]

but like yeh for most people 8p cores is fine, I was only saying for my use case it's bad.

[stray apex]

nhd15 is actually pretty severely outdated these days, iirc

and given the methodology, it's probably all within margin of error anyways

[glass lantern]

well if you are willing to deal with windows derping out.

[dreamy rose]

16 Full core laptops. i wonder how they are fitting that in a laptop.

[vapid smelt]

Yuh but the newer better coolers like the ak620 only beats it by less than 5c

[glass lantern]

They are just using the desktop design and putting it in a PGA, maybe with a new I/O die, and 16 core of Z4 can scale down to 65W pretty well.

[stray apex]

I mean
in noise normalized the difference between a 360 and an air cooler is only like 4-5c

[vapid smelt]

True

[glass lantern]

you get like 70% of the performance

[stray apex]

even on massive loads at full fan speed it's like, ten degrees

[glass lantern]

all core

[dreamy rose]

yea but isnt the design kinda huge?

[glass lantern]

not really

like once you go PGA that cuts down the height and the width and length is by no means an issue

[vapid smelt]

10c and DBA 👂

[glass lantern]

oops

sorry I meant BGA

[dreamy rose]

so Desktop CPUs and Sockets can technically be smaller now they are using Chiplets. that wouldn't be practical but its a thought

[glass lantern]

Like have you ever looked inside a laptop, the substrate that the CPU is on is about the same width and length as the desktop version.

it's really not an issue.

if we were talking about putting it in a steam desk yeh sure it might be a consideration, although you are not cooling 65W inside a steamdesk foot print so kinda a moot point.

[dreamy rose]

so my i5 2450M IS the same size as a Desktop CPU? i get its old but these newer laptop chips barely look like they are the same size.

[stray apex]

the dba should roughly equal at 100 since you're just blasting the fans anyways
the larger aios are technically louder due to pumps and more fans

[west oar]

p

[dreamy rose]

yes i can pull out my CPU. its Socketed. and on a laptop! unheard of
