[polar fern]

Plus, there are some have real flexibility in upgrade path into the future

[thick agate]

mhm

[jolly sonnet]

[thick agate]

Hi.

[jolly sonnet]

how does my new battle station look ? #1019713714968088586

[thick agate]

normal?

i mean the GPU doesnt have a PCB backplate but thats fine

i dislike fans set to multiple colors tho i prefer a colortheme

[jolly sonnet]

it’s personal preference to me

[thick agate]

mhm im just giving you my opinion since u asked

and i prefer black cases if the parts are not all white

[jolly sonnet]

that’s why i ordered a new case

new case is otw.

[thick agate]

white pc is a money lost cuz its often more expensive

and that money could be spent buying better parts

[jolly sonnet]

#tech-chat-1

that’s the case i went with

[spiral ice]

how are single fan AIOs?

[vapid smelt]

120/140mm aios are shit

[spiral ice]

how about 2 120mm fan aios

[vapid smelt]

240mm aios are normally good

[rain dust]

[wind pulsar]

Try out now Final Fantasy XIV Online for free up until Lv. 60 and play the base game of Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realms Reborn and the award-winning first expansion of the game, Final Fantasy XIV Online: Heavensward™™™!

[slim creek]

the amount of people who play those nsfw games is worrying

[wind pulsar]

On one side my main Steam account is unfortunately German and I'm too lazy to switch the game region. Why does that matter? Because Adult Only games without a German age certificate on the page are regionblocked in Germany.

On the other hand I have an Argentinian sideaccount I can use to let out my degeneracy

[slim creek]

you tell me you pay for that?

[wind pulsar]

Yes, the reason why is that I pay like 10 cents for each game

Argentina is like the second cheapest country to buy Steam games in

e.g You can buy the entire NieR series for like $3 there

[slim creek]

well uh whats the point in paying for those nsfw games away

can’t you just use a search engine instead

[wind pulsar]

That's a stupid question bruh

Why buy games in the first place then, you can probably just crack them

[slim creek]

like you can achieve the same thing for free is what im saying

[vapid smelt]

To support the devs

[wind pulsar]

It's like saying why buy FPS games when you have a gun at home, just go to the shooting range and do the real thing, duh

[slim creek]

no im talking about a whole different topic here

nsfw is nsfw

I got quite a few degenerate friends but they never pay for anything

like they do stoop quite low but not like that low

[wind pulsar]

So what lmao

It's each their own entertainment, it's how it is

[vapid smelt]

why listen to music when you can make your own

[slim creek]

its not like that

[wind pulsar]

What else then

Why buy Fifa when you can play football for free

[past egret]

im tryna get the LT720 water cooler and it says it uses around 250w and i only have a 600w psu and a 2060 im rlly nervous im not gonna make it work bec my estimated power useage rn is 254w and so ill be about maxing when i install it so if it is too much lmk and also what psu i might need to upgrade to?

[slim creek]

appeals must be so easy now because you can use chat gpt

[vapid smelt]

... it can cool up to "250watts"

[full fossil]

ooo so u think ill be good?

[past egret]

you cant appeal vacs

[vapid smelt]

yes

[past egret]

also i hvh'd thats why

[slim creek]

idk much about steam mb

[past egret]

because i hate csgo

[full fossil]

ok cuz i was rlly stressing my uncle just upgraded his psu tho so if i have any issues he said he would just give me his old one and its like 750w

[slim creek]

I should use my steam points lol I got like 11k

[past egret]

thats so little

i have 33k

[slim creek]

I spend like $10 every 2 months on steam

[past egret]

but thats also not a lot compared to like franzj who literally bought everything on steam points shop

[past egret]

he had 2 million points or so

[thick robin]

Is upgrading from a i7 12700F to a Ryzen 9 7900X a big jump?

[vapid smelt]

why not the 13700k

[thick robin]

That's....

That's a good point

[thick robin]

Of the 13th gen CPUs which would pair better with a RX 6900 XT?

[vapid smelt]

for pure gaming the i5 13600k

[thick robin]

Big hmmmm

[thick robin]

And how big of a jump is that from the i7 12700f?

[wind pulsar]

Only through the straight lines aka the channels, the fins are there to radiate the heat so the fans can remove it

[thick robin]

Oh so a massive difference

[wind pulsar]

On the image Coopa sent, use the 12600K as an example, because the 12700 is basically just a slightly worse 12600K with more cores

[thick robin]

Oh oh

[wind pulsar]

So the 12600K at the very bottom is your example, unless you have a DDR5 system

[ocean narwhal]

Wait for 14th gen 🙂

6c/12t i3

same platform

[wind pulsar]

14th is not on the same platform though

[ocean narwhal]

It is tho

[wind pulsar]

Meteor lake is on LGA1851, the refresh is on 1700

[thick robin]

So question what if I go with the 13900k with a 6900 xt is that overkill?

[ocean narwhal]

14th gen is a raptor lake refresh

[thick robin]

I'm fine with the 13th gen

[wind pulsar]

Massively, the chances of you being able to cool it aren't that high either

You'll be fine on a 13600K

[thick robin]

Ahhhhh I see I see

[thick robin]

Oh last question. Wouldn't the 13700k be a sweet spot?

[vapid smelt]

youll gain more fps gettinga better gpu

[thick robin]

Ah

That's why you said 13600k

[wind pulsar]

No, since the 13700K barely offers any benefit yet still runs hotter than Australian wildfires

[thick robin]

Ahhh I see I see. Really appreciate the help guys

[vapid smelt]

no problem foodgang

[wispy marsh]

I'm tired. I'm angry and disappointed. The room and much of the house got flooded, because the washing machine's drainage pipe was left out.

[wispy marsh]

No, it's supposed to go into the throne room or the bathroom

The pipe went in neither

unplug the hdd and just have the drive you want windows in the system.

How do I do it without unplugging any drives

[pliant karma]

One second

I might be wrong

Let me double check, which one it’s on

If you just installed windows fresh, just do it over again

[slim creek]

is the forums for tomshardware.com good?

[pliant karma]

@sonic spruce odd I have a positive suspision that windows is installed on disk 0 your sata ssd but also it might be on disk 2 your nvme

[wicked cape]

Last time I was there not really, though that was 2020

[sonic spruce]

Uhhhhhh, ok so what should I do?

Uninstall and reinstall or?

[pliant karma]

remove the nvme drive from the system and see if it can still boot into windows. If it can't then at that point I can rule that it's on the nvme

[sonic spruce]

It’s under my gpu and I can’t take that out rn

Imma just redo the installation process since there’s nothing on the pc yet

[pliant karma]

yea you can do it agin just remember install it on the 1tb drive this time lol

*931.5gb to be specific

[sonic spruce]

I will send photos to screenshot and you can walk me through it

[pliant karma]

which the installer tells you the storage available so you can see the them

[sonic spruce]

Do I need to go to bios to do it or can I use windows recovery tool?

[pliant karma]

same process you did for the windows install just change the boot order to the USB drive that changes through motherboard so google how to change the boot order on your board. In the bios

[sonic spruce]

It’s booting into the usb drive rn

[pliant karma]

oh just continue until you see the screen that allows you to see the drives

The different, varied topics on wan show is what keeps me subscribed to fp

I just have lmg double dip their other videos with the yt premium on my portable devices

mate im not naming my company pwc because fo my current discord name

that is a big no no

[fossil frost]

FFS. Seriously, Google pwc international 😁

They are one of the largest companies in the world and are the administrators in most companies bankruptcy cases

[full fossil]

how has that got anything to do with building a computer?

guys quick help

I am from india and I really want to see ltx 2023 so can I subscribe to floatplane for this month and then cancel it after ltx??

[full fossil]

yes

[lucid echo]

Two things:
1 - Yes, you can subscribe for a month, then cancel
2 - Unlike past LTX events, there will be no livestreams of the panels on Floatplane. This is because it's way too chaotic to produce. There will only be VODs on floatplane after the event. WAN show will be the only thing livestreamed

[solid flame]

oh okay thanks for the details.. I think I still be subscribing for a month because I really want to see LTX I haven't seen any LTX event before

[full fossil]

i had never heard of it

[lucid echo]

I would wait to subscribe until maybe a week or two after the event, that way you'll be able to see all the VODs for as long as possible

[solid flame]

I kinda already did

Is my celeron chromebook a good candidate for a pfSense router?

[steep girder]

Lol that's the only thing that came up when I searched pink

[steep girder]

Whenever that happens, it's due to an outdated android system with exploits. The system itself runs as root which is why over time, certain versions of android have crap discovered that makes it possible 👍

But the whole idea is that it's not supposed to touch recovery or bootloader or any of the other firmwares. Furthermore, the bootloader is usually locked to installing signed roms by oem going up a version. They don't even allow downgrade usually

[rose wadi]

anyone here use a Kensington lock? trying to decide if I should get one with keys or a combination lock

[jolly sonnet]

yo

[lucid echo]

Keys are more secure but you're more likely to lose the key and be locked out (vs forget the combination code)
Combination is easier to manage but more prone to being broken-into (they're usually less secure chambers)
Depends on what your priorities/use-case are

[rose wadi]

dang, I don't know if I trust myself with the key option now that you mention it, but I feel like I'm more likely to forget to scramble the combination after locking. Also the less security you mentioned. Thanks for the detailed answer.

[lucid echo]

No prob! Years of watching LockPickingLawyer have finally paid off lol

[fossil frost]

opening a combo lock is less than trivial for any passing thief, it wont even be seen as a deterrent

in fact, its probably worse than no lock, because having it, gives you a false sense of security, but at the same time, having no lock at all, is the same level of security as one of the combo locks

[rose wadi]

oof, that's scary to think about

I also found one with keys for 1,5 bucks... but im leaning more towards a kensington branded one

[steep girder]

I mean at the end of the day yeah a combo is never lost. It's positioned inside the lock

I've seen a buffalo lock opened by ear lmfao

Then again, I've picked a pin lock. All it took was the right flexibility and insulation thickness of electric wire and a manicure kit cuticle skin cutting thingy to turn

[lucid echo]

What exactly are you locking up?

Like, yeah, anything that's not a disk detainer core is gonna be picked within a few seconds, but the way more likely outcome is someone taking some clippers to the cord itself. And most kensington locks I've seen are just a couple millimeters thick

[steep girder]

If it's a computer case bios opened trip, then it may be worth. If it's for physical fixture, you'd also have to consider how well the lock itself is secured and the kevlar on chain, etc, etc

I'd just go for a camera :P

[lucid echo]

I've always viewed K locks as just "stops some random person from yanking away my laptop at the coffee shop"

[steep girder]

(And some minimal thing to break just for show so that the cameras catch a real breaking and entering as per criminal penal code of wherever you are)

[fossil frost]

yep, thats exactly what they are

[proven sinew]

hi

[steep girder]

Just get whatever. A gibbon-type individual will just yank + pray + break your laptop

Just get any lock for show and make sure mobile device is under camera so that way it stacks infractions legally. They'll serve to help get your compensation back :P

[hollow root]

6950xt prices are up 200 usd

Also amazon is out of stock

[steep girder]

But they also serve as some buffer to take damage so that way if somebody determined enough to yank it away (and I'd bet anything there are people strong enough to do that in most cases... at least w tools). Since lock/laptop/fixture was damaged, it's additionally property damage; not just theft

A door being locked makes difference between trespassing and breaking and entering

+1 for the perp... in a bad way

Maybe I'm dumb but those display model locks are deterrants in terms of time. It just helps with the process of noticing some jackass is trying to rip a laptop out of display case. The real security is at the door :P

[hollow root]

Do they still manufacture 6950xts?

[lucid echo]

Yep, pretty much. It's there to filter out the 98% of silly geese who aren't gonna put in the extra effort

[lucid echo]

No, probably not. It's last gen, and it is often newsworthy if silicon companies start producing last-gen GPUs. See: Nvidia with the 2060 (I think)

[hollow root]

😭 that is not good

It's probably not going to be restocked

[lucid echo]

Oh I'm slightly mistaken, they haven't released the 7950XT yet. Regardless, they often slow/stop production right before release of the next gen

That way, the market isn't flooded with discounted GPUs that are a better value than their hyped-up new lineup

[hollow root]

Got it ty

[lucid echo]

You'll likely find great deals on used ones in the coming months

[hollow root]

I got rlly scared because everywhere the prices raised like 200bucks

[lucid echo]

Happens. They'll plummet when the 7950XT is released.

[slate agate]

the 7950 xt is going to be a repeat of the 6950 xt. fair sized bump in vram speed, a very small core clock increase

How do you get a homeless persons attention when your trying to give them money?

[lucid echo]

You say hello to them

[low rain]

I talk rlly quietly and especially when there’s the sound of other cars it’s js hard

[lucid echo]

How do you get any person's attention

[low rain]

I usually tap on them or say their name

[lucid echo]

Sounds like you got some growth potential on speaking louder in public spaces

[low rain]

Like if it’s someone ik but I don’t rlly get peoples attention if I don’t know them

[lucid echo]

Time to learn how!

[low rain]

I had to say a speech in front of my whole school I was so scared 😭😭😭

anyone watching daily dose of internet?

[white fractal]

Well that Godwin’d quickly.

[opal trench]

So I gotta question and hopefully someone can help

I'm super stupid in this area and I've tried looking it up already but it doesn't give u a specific answer.

[winged ferry]

is a usb ssd as fast as an internal one

[opal trench]

So I have a o11d ( non evo ) and I'm wanting to vertical mount my gpu for the fun of it is there a secondary gpu mount outside of lian lis that will work for the case

[opal trench]

I would be inclined to say no but it should list the speeds on it

[winged ferry]

whats a good speed

[white fractal]

I haven’t found one but the thought has crossed my mind to design one

[opal trench]

@winged ferry u wanting solely a ssd or m.2 nvme?

What's the use case

@white fractal so the random like cooler master or antec ones won't fit the o11d?

[winged ferry]

i want more storage for games on my pc but i dont have any ssd slots left on my motherboard so i was gonna get an external usb ssd since ive used some in the past and they were decent

or i was gonna get a pcie adapter for an internal ssd but idk if that would be very fast

and being right under the gpu idk if it would get really hot or something

[opal trench]

This is the best idea

[white fractal]

I haven’t found anyone who has tried and reported back.

[winged ferry]

would it be fast?

[opal trench]

Or get a pcie that has a nvme slot of it and plug up a nvme drive

Dang thx man

[winged ferry]

wdym

[opal trench]

Get this then buy whatever nvme u want to put on it would be normal nvme speeds

[winged ferry]

ok cool

[opal trench]

Or u could do something like this one that's external but plugs into USB port but it also uses nvme. My buddy uses one of these for his laptop and he says it works ok

[winged ferry]

how would it work

just put the ssd in there and plug it in? or do i need like pcie connection or something for it?

also whats a good affordable m.2 or nvme ssd

[lucid echo]

I have two of these in my system and they work great

[lucid echo]

slap in any nvme m.2 drive and slot it into the motherboard. the slot is the pcie connection (if you mean power, the slot also provides power)

[lucid echo]

If you're just looking for games storage, really any drive will be fine. They're all cheap right now

[winged ferry]

i dont get it lmao how would i put that in the motherboard?

[lucid echo]

The same way you put your GPU in your motherboard, just in the PCIe slots below it

[pliant karma]

nope just slot it into the bottom pcie x16 slot under the gpu.

tf I thought image got sent welp guess not

[winged ferry]

wait do you mean the pcie adapter or the usb thing

[vapid smelt]

Mich some of your address info is in that

[pliant karma]

pcie to nvme adapter

[slate igloo]

I like Turtles

[winged ferry]

ok whoops i thought he meant put that usb thing into the motherboard lmao

[manic torrent]

you can do that too.

[broken dome]

Hey! Is there any channel where I could share some information of a personal project? I just launched a videogame collection manager tool (similar to LaunchBox or Playnite) and would like to show it to you so you can try it and provide feedback if you wish. Thanks in advance!

[timid meadow]

Technically no self advertising. But if you can find a relevant time to say "hey i built this" there probably wont be anyone upset. Plenty of builders and coders in here. Occasionally we see their work. Bobs midi/macro/whatever the fk build is an example of something that gets brought up every now and again.

So like dont just spam "hey i built this". But if you see someone complaining about something your launcher can fix, or if the overall topic of the chat is related

[fierce moth]

Mornin people

[broken dome]

Thank you!

[manic torrent]

haha yeah "whatever the fuck" pretty much covers stuff I do

[grim ravine]

[timid meadow]

Do you have some kind of big long term master project going on? Guys like you usually do lol. Whats bobs "floppotron"? The big magical thing you keep going back to and improving with no use other then because you can. Do you have like a singular piece of your "lifes work" in tech?

Thats multiple questions but its not i know what im tryina ask lol

[manic torrent]

I don't think so .. possibly that would be my car monitorin / dash project

I am working on version 3 which will be usable in any car.

[timid meadow]

See, dont undersell yourself.

[vapid smelt]

Even 1930s Ford?

[manic torrent]

This is my real lifes work though

[manic torrent]

It has its own canbus and monitoring hardware, so while there is an optional canbus bridge, that's not a requirement.

It would need some tweaks in the power module, either a boost converter or some code changes, because it would shut itself down due to low voltage, but other than that. (because 1930s cars were 6V, not 12V)

[timid meadow]

Bob got tired of car manufacturers not getting along. If you want it done right, gotta do it your damn self

[manic torrent]

haha, the real problem with my car is that it was pushing the absolute envelope of what was technically possible at the time. Independant quad cam advance control, e throttle, boost control, etc. in a 512k ROM 32 bit ECU. Even now those features are premium level features in aftermarket ECUs.

So there's very little scope for adding features to the ROM, because there simply isn't space or processing power.

find the original vector logo and pick up that colour

[manic torrent]

[fierce moth]

[fierce moth]

Anyways, can some lads help me, my mum is looking to get a printer that won't cost a fortune in ink

[long briar]

Does she need color

[long briar]

If not, black and white laser (toner) printers, especially old ones like HP 1005p can be next to free, the catridges are cheap and last for quite a while

[fierce moth]

Preferably

[ionic abyss]

how the heck did some one come up with that anime

[long briar]

what's the use case

image printing? text documents? etc.

[fierce moth]

Documents and images

[ionic abyss]

for black and white just get a laser

[fierce moth]

Australian pricing btw

[long briar]

for images... how often...

[fierce moth]

Idk, she didn't really specify

[ionic abyss]

ink tank printer if they plan to print photos

[long briar]

you won't be getting good quality images out of a color toner printer

but for documents it's very good

[long briar]

budget?

[fierce moth]

Alright scratch everything I just said, she told me she only needs black and white

[long briar]

Oh

Laser all the way then, anything made in the past 15 years will work fine

[fierce moth]

I've always heard good things about brother printers

Might go with them

[long briar]

Yea they're solid, just make sure it's laser and third party cartridges exist

[ionic abyss]

laser printers are good for black and white

cheap as heck for that use

[long briar]

I've been using the same printer for.... 14 years now

[vapid smelt]

Its old enough for discord

[long briar]

lmao yea

laser printers last forever

it's an HP p1005, I've bought like 4 or 5 cartridges throughout the years and still have one extra...

none of the cartridges were actually from HP except for the original one

before that, my lexar laser is basically 20 years old now

no usb driver support, but hook it up to something with serial port and it'll print just fine

[digital jolt]

Do y'all buy things like laptops money down or pay monthly sometimes?
Do you think is viable to buy tech in installments?

[long briar]

Pay all on the spot, no matter what tech it is

Only exception is house for obvious reasons

[fierce moth]

Gonna get this, I can get the toner from Amazon for 33 aud for a 3 pack

[long briar]

ye that'll work fine

and probably last you a decade or more, assuming you don't drop it or something on it

[fierce moth]

For sure

If it wasn't wireless I woulda used a pi and put cups on it lol

But no need to do that

Cheap toner to boot

[marsh bronze]

hey, anyone know how i can search for micro-atx cases under 15 inches tall?

i wish pcpartpicker had a way to search for dimensions :(

[signal night]

looking to get a second monitor to my 27GP850-B which is a great monitor i love using for gaming and am tempted by the 34GP63A-B
i would feel bad using the 34 as the main and 27 vertical on the side as it is a better monitor, and if i had the 34 as the vertical, im worried it will be too tall
i also would like to avoid stacking as i adjust my monitor heights frequently

any thoughts?

[wind pulsar]

We've released anime about anime girls transforming into jets, what did you expect

[ionic abyss]

i thought it was girls who were guns

oh well mabey i lost track

yes the one were girls were realy guns was upotte!

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, complain to mangaka and novelists I guess, Anime studios just produce wtf is currently popular

[manic torrent]

The 27 would work vertical - the 34 is VA and would suck vertical

[signal night]

rly, i would do that but the 27 i have is much better quality, and like twice the price

[white ruin]

is the keychron k12 better sounding or the razor blackwidow v3 hyperspeed mini?

[dreamy rose]

ah yes an anime about giving medievals soda and mentos

[signal night]

im hesitant to get another monitor that's worse for gaming than the original one and use it as my main one

[manic torrent]

yes, you are in a pickle!

[dreamy rose]

thats gotta go well

[signal night]

would it jus tbe better to get a 27 as a secondary and just live with the 27 main one? i was thinking of using the wideness for productivity as i am a college student

[manic torrent]

yes, in your situation dual 27s I think would be best

I also have dual 27s .... either side of my 48

[signal night]

lmfao subtle flex

[fierce moth]

I need a CRT with rgb in

For my retro consoles

[manic torrent]

lol I'm using a 65" 4k TV right now

[fierce moth]

But they cost an arm and a leg

[signal night]

my gf would also be sharing the desk tho, and its a very wide desk, 78in to be exact
so i was wondering if it would viable in that sense? to get a 34

like if im on my own i could use either one as my main with the other as secondary, and when we game together we just use one each

[manic torrent]

time to use a calculator 😄

but that makes sense

[white ruin]

is the keychron k12 better sounding or the razor blackwidow v3 hyperspeed mini?

[signal night]

is it easy to swap between portrait and landscape?

[manic torrent]

on a monitor arm, you just turn it around

[signal night]

sry i mean in software

[manic torrent]

oh yeah it's a drop down

[signal night]

oh bet okok so ez, mb i'll get the 34 then

[manic torrent]

and if you have something like displayfusion you can have profiles

[signal night]

ooh i'll keep that in mind

[dreamy rose]

sounds like hell

[fierce moth]

How so?

[manic torrent]

it's things that he doesn't like and/or understand

[fierce moth]

Most likely the latter

[dreamy rose]

you should remember how dangerous it is to open up a CRT.

[polar fern]

Casual appearance of the proart board I was originally intending to purchase on the Iran quantum chip video

Okay, this is not really a Microsoft Xbox support channel. There are multiple resources available by people who are actually paid to help people with these issues.

Try the Xbox app help page

A fan

I need to nail down the storage and memory for new computer. However, I have forgotten that I wanted to do a memory upgrade on my Mac mini from the current eight gigs to 128 gigs.

Upon looking at the price, for this, I decided instead to go for 64 gigs in two rounds

[full fossil]

real6??6?6?6?6?6??6?6

[polar fern]

Yeah I’m into HVAC stuff so I was looking at some condenser fans over the last few days during this massive heat wave

Comparing identical model fan motors, and how they are holding up

Rpm, sound, and current draw etc

There is surprising variation even among models produced in the same short time frame

My guess is that the windings are slightly different with varying qualities of copper

[fierce moth]

award winner aye?

[sick coral]

would it be worth it to sell my 9900k for 350$ and buy a 5700x for 280$?

[granite agate]

Nice controller in a sea full of competitors

[granite agate]

It really makes your performance implode

Sorry 😭

[sick coral]

sorry, i meant to ask if i could realistically sell it for that much

[manic torrent]

ehhhhhhhhh

[fossil frost]

nobody is going to buy a 9900k for 350$ for a start

[sick coral]

on ebay theyre selling it for that much

what do you think is an appropriate price then

[fossil frost]

on ebay they are listed for that much, does not mean they are selling for that much, search for completed listings rather than active

[fierce moth]

id bite

embed fail

[fierce moth]

Interesting...
I can mod a CRT to add rgb if the circuitry exists on a chip

But that ofc requires opening up a CRT and checking

[sick coral]

320$ isnt unrealistic i think

[marsh bronze]

why can't i find a good micro-atx compatible case that's shorter than 15 inches ;-;

i've been looking at cases for ages now and i feel like i'm going insane

[sick coral]

can yall tell me what would be a good price to sell this cpu for? im trying to buy the 5700x which is 995 INS = 273.5 USD
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Core+i9-9900K&_sacat=0&LH_BIN=1&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1ca

[marsh bronze]

i might just have to go mini-itx :(

[velvet marsh]

I forgot the flagship cpu usually appreciates in value towards EOL

[sick coral]

would 275$ be a good price to sell it at?

[wispy marsh]

6c12t

[velvet marsh]

what is?

[wispy marsh]

Oh, i was wrong

It's 8c16t

For some reason there's no 6c12t for coffeelake on diy desktop
