And in turn they are incredibly transphobic

[runic saddle]

Needs help… Legion Go, or a mobile gaming laptop like the Dell G15 5511 that I can get for about the same price second hand? I’m looking for something windows based I can do mobile gaming on and need help because I’m an indecisive idiot that can’t figure it out. I figure with a legion go, I can get a dongle if I need a keyboard and mouse… but equally a laptop would come with that. What am I missing here?

[rare otter]

And they wonder why I've attended to kms so many times

[pallid falcon]

Mine is also 😔

[thin smelt]

hi im looking to upgrade my cpu, I have a 2070 super and i play on 1440p, and need a ryzen cpu. any recommendations

[rare otter]

As if it wasn't obvious

[rare otter]

How old are you btw and do you have your own place

[vapid smelt]

7800x3d

[pallid falcon]

I can't until i graduate college because of state disability funding

[thin smelt]

anything a little cheaper..?

[runic saddle]

Anything 7 and fifth gen or up is not bad. I’ve got third gen ryzen 9 but it’s really just preference

[rare otter]

I'm moving out as soon as I turn 18

I'm 17 atm

[thin smelt]

i have a 5 3600 but its just not cutting it

[polar fern]

Not really great to talk about your age online if you are not a legal adult, just FYI

[pallid falcon]

W

[rare otter]

Ima see if my boyfriends mom will let me stay at her place

Whenever I do

[polar fern]

Also, you can have a lawyer or a public defender file for emancipation if you have the ability to take care of yourself in terms of housing and food

In most US states the age for this is 16

Minimum age, I mean

[rare otter]

I don't. My parents refuse to let me get a job for that reason

As of rn. I'm fucked

[pallid falcon]

Sound like a good plan

[rare otter]

They don't want me to transition because it goes against their religion

Fuck their religion

[polar fern]

Public defenders are free and you can usually find someone that they work with that can represent you for free so you don’t even have to go into the courtroom

[pallid falcon]

(I recently had a scare because I had a family member ask what my Twitter was )

[rare otter]

I'm in missouri

An incredibly transphobic state

They'd have me labeled as mentally ill

[polar fern]

I haven’t used Twitter in coming up on two years and I don’t miss it at all. Deleted my account December 2022 but I stopped using it in November.

[rare otter]

So what do I do?

[polar fern]

I wish I could give you information to help, but yeah, that particular state is problematic when it comes to the rights of individuals

[strange elk]

Haaaaa wooooo yeah.

[rare otter]

It's because American politicians are idiots who put religion over human rights

Fuck religion

[mint violet]

Hi .

[polar fern]

I would recommend trying to contact advocacy groups that can represent you in court and get you into a safe situation. That’s really all you can do at this point.

[rare otter]

What about the people.

Why not serve the people?

[pallid falcon]

(Tbh idk if I'm trans or what, I somewhat don't do gender so I go by it/its instead of a they or a him)

[strange elk]

Fuck your beliefs, science doesnt give a shit

[polar fern]

Ahoy @mint violet

[strange elk]

[polar fern]

Talk about religion and stuff is actually barred by the rules here so let’s respect that

[rare otter]

Who you talking to?

[mint violet]

Time to see my computer cuz it is telling me show off battle station .

[rare otter]

I'm sorry. We just got on the subject so I kinda forgot

[strange elk]

Just generally.

But ye

[polar fern]

I would highly recommend reading #rules so you don’t get in trouble

[rare otter]

I did when I first joined

[graceful burrow]

This convo is much less entertaining than looking at how castles are fortified and made

[polar fern]

@mint violet you posted in #1019713714968088586 ?

[mint violet]

About to now just one sec

[polar fern]

@graceful burrow machicolations

[graceful burrow]

If you're gonna block me at least have the resolve to not peek my messages

Or just
Unblock me

[polar fern]

You’re not blocked

[mint violet]

did it !

[polar fern]

Oo let’s go see

[strange elk]

[graceful burrow]

I was
I checked, I wasn't able to react

You just unblocked me

[graceful burrow]

I checked before sending this message.

[pallid falcon]

I only have a handful of people blocked. Mainly rude people who are like, anti pronouns and lgbtq and weird stuff like that

[graceful burrow]

But since I'm not blocked what is your favorite castle

[polar fern]

That’s a difficult question

[graceful burrow]

Given you know that specific word I imagine you know the names of at least one or two castles

[strange elk]

Castlevania

[wary dock]

I don't think you appreciate how much self control that would take 😅 . I wish blocks just hid all posts in both directions, rather than collapsing them.

[strange elk]

Frank Castle

[graceful burrow]

Malbork castle is my favorite, aside the colors lol

[graceful burrow]

Me too but I'm pretty good at controlling where my fingers go

[wary dock]

White Castle?

[graceful burrow]

No like the chess strategy

Castling

[mint violet]

Just posted my specs too in that listing in case u wanna see em 😄

[polar fern]

I like the traditional Saxon castles with the simple single building & maybe some wood walls within archer range

[long briar]

I had to double take when I saw a microwave in bestbuy thinking it was a Pixel 9.

[graceful burrow]

Those feel like what were the natural evolution from those super simple Motte and Bailey style

[polar fern]

Yes

[graceful burrow]

Bramburgh castle is quite stunning

[polar fern]

Let me find one that I really like one moment, please

Stalker is pretty neat, though it’s not the typical

[graceful burrow]

Oh that one's goin in the list for sure

[graceful burrow]

Yeah
Perfect

[wary dock]

Zillow gives that place a really good Zombie score.

[polar fern]

One of the other ones I like is Rochester but it’s a bit later I think.

I’m not a huge fan of the Norman castles mostly because it really marks the beginning of a long period of turmoil in that region. Lots of persecution and consolidation of power.

They are definitely definitely more impressive than the earlier works, but they give off a totalitarian vibe

[graceful burrow]

The history behind the castles is much less interesting to me

I'm looking for large imposing

As well as a certain aesthetic I can't describe but I can feel

I'm gathering reference for a project

[polar fern]

The Norman castles were built new or improvements on existing fortifications on the command of William the Conqueror so there’s a lot of bloodshed connected to them

[graceful burrow]

A lot of Norman castles look normie tbh

[polar fern]

Norman castles use a lot of the same engineering with their stonework as the great cathedrals in continental Europe. That’s why they are so imposing and often quite elaborate.

[graceful burrow]

That makes sense now tbh

[polar fern]

Sadly, a lot of extremely talented masonry folks met their end when the castle did not meet the expectations of their patron

[graceful burrow]

Naturally tbh

[wary dock]

Layoffs suck.

[graceful burrow]

I'd rather get laid off by my old manager than an early British king or whatever

[polar fern]

And then more extreme cases, the masons who knew all of the secrets of the fortifications would be … silenced…

[pallid falcon]

[graceful burrow]

No you told me he said something and then said that info wasn't out yet

[tepid jasper]

i cant rmemeber clearly cause this happened 2 sems ago

[tepid jasper]

fine ill ask my classmates if they remember exactly what he said

[graceful burrow]

[tepid jasper]

[wary dock]

What's the project?

[slender robin]

hi all

[graceful burrow]

I'm not telling to people I don't trust

[wary dock]

Keeping stuff hidden doesn't help you fail fast, but if you think you have something other people may copy, makes sense to me!

[dusky veldt]

or maybe it's not at a stage where they're comfy with sharing it

[wary dock]

That too. Lots of possibilities.

[slender marsh]

My fucking cousin peed his pants when were playing NSMBW

The closest I've been to being in a dust storm is the Santa Ana winds in CA. I wonder if they will get worse.

[plucky pilot]

Done with homework assignments by 9, thats a new record for me

[mint violet]

I have too much homework ... 😦

When will it end ?!?!??!

[full fossil]

when you graduate L3

[plucky pilot]

Yeah felt that

[mint violet]

In college right now ...

[graceful burrow]

Keeping stuff hidden when it isn't even real yet makes sense

It's not something even copyable at this stage lol

[strange elk]

GTA IV has fucking plastic windows on the cabs

This game is sick

It looks better that way anyway though

Kinda jumping between 3 and 4 rn

Gonna play the original trilogy in order at least

My first laptop other than school provided ones was a framework 13

[gilded quest]

Nice

[fierce moth]

Also, what do yall think abt the meta quest 3s?
Might pick one up to upgrade my meta quest 2

[gilded quest]

My first laptop was an Acer aspire one (AMD powered netbook)
Second laptop was an HP 14" Ultrabook (core i3 3rd gen), with beats audio lol
Third was XPS 13 with Skylake
Fourth was Asus rog strix gl753VE-DS74 (7700HQ, 1050ti)
Fifth is rog zephyrus G14 2020
Sixth is M1 MBA

[vapid smelt]

damn you went to a rich kid school?!

[long briar]

so when you upgrade every part of that framework, is it still the same framework 13?

[pallid falcon]

Do you want one :3

I can give you.. kobold.. coins? Totally not stolen

[fierce moth]

What?

I had different laptops in high school

[fierce moth]

Still the same metal

I only got my fw13 this year

[vapid smelt]

my school had old thinkpads with 1 hour battery life and the good laptops where the new chromebooks

[prime solstice]

My middle school had laptops then they switched to Chromebooks and ever since then I hated the Chromebooks

[fierce moth]

Ah, these weren't the best
But lower midrange laptops

8gbs ram with i5 class processors

[pallid falcon]

When I had to use them.. they was fine?

But I think was 2014?

[fierce moth]

I had a fair few run ins with the ict department back then lmao

Chat my gaming laptop only can go 1-2 hours,how to fix this?I use all power saving options too

[alpine gale]

Most gaming laptops don't last more than 3 hours maximum when under load, so 1-2 hours seems average. Without knowing the exact laptop make/model and what you're running on it, this is just speculation.

[vapid smelt]

carry around a power station or get a new laptop

[keen bobcat]

That is what I do.but i need to put in sleep mode or power off to charge fast

How??

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXNeoXnU7iM

[keen bobcat]

I have a 200w powerbank with ac plug socket.but i fear its watts will be obselete if i get a new one.do new gaming laptops still at below 200 watts?or what average watt power is a gaming laptop today.

[vapid smelt]

or you can mod your device like hand held gamers do

[keen bobcat]

For now I have a 150w gaming laptop.

[graceful burrow]

If you want a portable gaming device why are you not just getting one of the many handhelds

[keen bobcat]

Oh its not just everyday task.I also code and even do some stuff that needs rendering like blender

[keen bobcat]

Too expensive,Also it is unavailable in my country

[graceful burrow]

I'm with coopa mod a handheld

[keen bobcat]

Thats okay.mine are all high level like python

One question.do you think laptops from now to 4 years are around 200-250 watts?

[vapid smelt]

get a mac

[modern pier]

Mcdonalds app makes my phone make clicking noises

[prime solstice]

It’s communicating with Ronald that’s why it’s clicking

[graceful burrow]

The bugs are back

[keen bobcat]

Ok so a laptop powerbank is all I need to fix it.I have one already.

My laptop have a rtx 2060 tho

im aus so ill be righty

are they argb so like can they be controlled with software

[dusky veldt]

not really, no

[graceful burrow]

Dam

[solemn reef]

can these fans be controlled with like signal rgb and open rgb

oh ok but will those fans i sent be controllable with a software

so do they have that idk how to tell \

[graceful burrow]

They're listed as argb
Yes they are addressable in software

[solemn reef]

it says they have 4 pin but have adressable rgb

[solemn reef]

ok thank you

[graceful burrow]

You guys are tripping over each other's statements like crazy

It's infuriating to watch

Wouldn't it have been smarter to just say "idk sorry"

[dusky veldt]

too prideful for that

[graceful burrow]

Nah I'm just bein a hardass

[solemn reef]

Are the COOLERMASTER Sickleflow good fans???

[graceful burrow]

If they're asking basic questions like that, there's an insanely good chance they're just plugging into the board
Most rgb/argb controllers are super basic and can be controlled both with signalrgb and openrgb

[vapid smelt]

cooler master makes the stock coolers for amd so id imagine they have good fan

[mossy abyss]

Hi

[graceful burrow]

Hello

[ionic abyss]

i see kapersky left the us in a horrific way

installing ultra av without asking was a dick move

[manic torrent]

Tbh if you installed Kaspersky you were kind of asking for it

.... RGB control is entirely electrically seperate to fan speed control.

[balmy tiger]

lmao

[manic torrent]

And "three pin" is not helpful, as while yes, technically argb is three pin, it typically refers to the fan plug.

[balmy tiger]

?

[manic torrent]

It's complete crapware

[balmy tiger]

Kaspersky is the best antivirus

He installed UltraAV, that's not KV

[manic torrent]

... I see you don't read the tech news

[balmy tiger]

UltraAV is an unknown av and no one knows it, that pretty much sets the tone for how trash it is

[balmy tiger]

Nah I know them very well

The USA banned kaspersky because it's a russian company based in moscow

not because it's bad

[balmy tiger]

And USA/Russia are worst enemies

[manic torrent]

Wow thanks for brushing me up on global politics

I had no idea

[balmy tiger]

always here to help

Just don't say stuff like Kaspersky is a bad Antivirus

it has the best heuristics

and the kaspersky team is one of the most advanced

[graceful burrow]

I bet they pay you well too

[balmy tiger]

https://www.av-test.org/fileadmin/pdf/reports/AV-TEST_Kaspersky_Ransomware_Test_September_2021_EN.pdf

[balmy tiger]

I'm a teenager living in france

they don't know I exist

[manic torrent]

Wow, 100% effective

[graceful burrow]

Dang
Anyway

[balmy tiger]

This is just an example of an award they won

no AV is 100% effective because 0 day

[manic torrent]

Oh, please, tell me more about zero day

[balmy tiger]

Zero day malware is malware that is made too early for its presence to be detected by most antivirus

[alpine gale]

While I'm not about to pick "sides" in a software industry that shouldn't even need to exist if Operating System developers had cared to bake security into their OS's 30 years ago... I will say that any test "commissioned" by a participant in the test should be heavily picked apart.

"The test was commissioned by Kaspersky and conducted by AV-TEST GmbH."
"We paid a team to investigate ourselves, gave them only data that showed we did nothing wrong, and they found nothing wrong, so we didn't do anything wrong." 👀

[balmy tiger]

this is one of the reasons AV ccompanies created heuristic detection

[manic torrent]

Do you really think they would do that!?

[balmy tiger]

So they can detect the behavior of the malware

and flag it

[graceful burrow]

This Kaspersky advertisement is wild

I love getting advertisements in my discord chat

[balmy tiger]

No it's simply the best

[manic torrent]

Kid let me let you in on a secret, I have worked in IT admin and security for decades.

You don't know shit about fuck.

[balmy tiger]

cite me an antivirus that's as good as kaspersky other than BitDefender

[balmy tiger]

Of course sorry papi

[graceful burrow]

That's not what I'm even arguing
I just don't want to get fucking advertised at

[balmy tiger]

A 50 year old with traditional tech values isnt teaching me shit

[alpine gale]

While I still recommend Kaspersky for some clients up here in Canuckistan (due to reasons), there is no "best" security product. In fact, there is no "best" anything - it's all objectively subjective at the end of the day.

[balmy tiger]

HardwareBob said KV is crap and I'm saying he's false

[manic torrent]

The problem there is you don't even understand the problem. "What av is best" is a stupid question

[graceful burrow]

All I'm seeing is unabashed shilling but go off

The reason is ultimately irrelevant

[balmy tiger]

Well just don't say Kaspersky is "total crapware" because it isn't

[graceful burrow]

I didnt

[balmy tiger]

It's one of the most respected antiviruses in the end of the day

[graceful burrow]

Sure

[balmy tiger]

Sorry for the misconception, I was talking to HardwareBob

[graceful burrow]

Can I stop being served ads?

[manic torrent]

It's like saying it's the nicest smelling piece of shit.

[balmy tiger]

And the ban in the USA is because of politics, not because it's a bad product

[graceful burrow]

Ig not

[manic torrent]

End users should not be installing any AV.

[balmy tiger]

You've worked in the IT industry for decades? Tell me an antivirus that has the same capabilities and features Kaspersky offers

[alpine gale]

This. CommonSense™ and leaving security up to your OS is de wey in this age.

[manic torrent]

Again, you're fundamentally asking the wrong question.

[balmy tiger]

Yuh uh but you've already started the battle

[balmy tiger]

"Kaspersky is a nice smelling piece of shit", ok, why ?

Ah I know the question, why is it so bad to your eyes ?

[graceful burrow]

@covert cradle what do you keep typing and deleting

Say it with your heart, brother

[manic torrent]

Dude, if you love AV so much, go ahead and install it everywhere. I really don't care.

[glass mural]

Trying to hide evidence of their existence

[covert cradle]

lol. What I wanted to say got said by bob and kirashi. The OS can be secured plenty well without an AV

[balmy tiger]

Haha

so you're avoiding my question

You said Kaspersky is a nice smelling piece of shit and refuse to elaborate/explain why it is

[manic torrent]

The reality is that there is almost no advantage at all vs standard defender.

[balmy tiger]

Cool but you're not answering my question

[balmy tiger]

(and there is)

[graceful burrow]

Probably because you're cumbersome to even talk to in the first place, you're being overbearing to try and control the argument

Probably not even consciously

[balmy tiger]

The point of an argument is to prove the opponent wrong

[graceful burrow]

But that's whats happening

[balmy tiger]

That is what I'm trying to achieve

[manic torrent]

Because your questions belie your lack of understanding of the subject matter

[graceful burrow]

It's kind of a dickhead way to go about it

[balmy tiger]

So he calls out kaspersky as trash and refuses to elaborate, that's being a dickhead

[graceful burrow]

He's right too what a chad

[balmy tiger]

He should be pressured on not me

[graceful burrow]

@manic torrent high five

https://tenor.com/view/xluna-high-five-gif-25422702

[balmy tiger]

If that's how you go on about things, call out a thing as total shit and refuse to elaborate I'm not meant to debate here

[graceful burrow]

Word

[balmy tiger]

Because that's being an idiot

[graceful burrow]

You tell em

[manic torrent]

Or... Others here know me and understand I know what I'm talking about and they agree with me.

[balmy tiger]

Understand what

[glass mural]

@balmy tiger 3rd party AV isn’t really necessary just use common sense and windows defender if you believe your PC has a virus use malwarebytes as a spot check then delete it afterwards

[balmy tiger]

you refuse to elaborate anything

[balmy tiger]

oh my god that's not what I'm talking about

[graceful burrow]

Yeah tell em fresh

Tell em what's up you're doin great

[balmy tiger]

He said kaspersky is trash and I'm asking him why kaspersky is trash

Stop telling me that windows defender is enough that's just off topic

[vapid smelt]

because its russain

[manic torrent]

I didn't say "Kaspersky is a bad AV compared to other AVs"

[balmy tiger]

This is quite racist

[vapid smelt]

russain is a race?!

[balmy tiger]

Derogating something from its race/origin

[balmy tiger]

you meant russian, and russians are slavs

slavs are a race

[manic torrent]

No I'm pretty sure he meant Russia the country

[graceful burrow]

Are all slavs Russian tho

[balmy tiger]

yes and who lives in russia

[vapid smelt]

this

[balmy tiger]

russians, so a product is trash because it's russian ?

[manic torrent]

Irrelevant

[balmy tiger]

it is relevant

[vapid smelt]

every race

[graceful burrow]

You can dislike a government but not dislike the people

[balmy tiger]

did somebody shit in your brain

[balmy tiger]

and did kaspersky interfere with the russian government

[manic torrent]

I don't know if you've noticed but the country of Russia is having some slight... Wars... At the moment.

[balmy tiger]

kaspersky did multiple tests to prove their integrity and their servers are not even hosted in switzerland

[graceful burrow]

I'm not entering that convo just pointing out a simple fact

[balmy tiger]

That fact is irrelevant to the conversation

[graceful burrow]

It was directly relevant

[balmy tiger]

I feel smart

Not worth my time, have a good day

[graceful burrow]

Thank GOD

[balmy tiger]

Since y'all simply refuse to state any reasonable reason

[manic torrent]

@alpine gale I can't sleep do I take a funny gummy it's 230am

[alpine gale]

https://tenor.com/view/archer-scotch-gummy-bears-today-food-gif-5965686

[graceful burrow]

Hell yeah

[alpine gale]

Whoa, hey, wait - that wasn't an endorsement to make bad decisions at 0230! Besides, HIMYM taught us that "nothing good ever happens after 2am" so...

[graceful burrow]

Too late

I was gonna take one anyway
Insomnia decided I don't get to sleep tonight so i get to brute force it and be groggy tomorrow

Just gonna play games until it hits
Easy nights

[alpine gale]

Oof. Sometimes it do be like that. Not exactly insomnia for me, but my condition(s) mean every night is revenge bedtime procrastination, resulting in the same half-functioning state the next day.

Gummy bears help you sleep? I find they make me more manic and excited, which is probably the cause of my insomnia.

[graceful burrow]

they definitely arent regular gummy bears

[wary dock]

I no

[covert cradle]

lmao. high ratio or regular?

[graceful burrow]

they're 50mg d8

[wary dock]

I would not be functional.

[graceful burrow]

most people wouldnt

[covert cradle]

I've heard the high CBD ratio ones are better for sleep. I don't use them for sleep myself so idk personally.

[graceful burrow]

i originally just did cbd + melatonin gummies and those helped a lot
tried a d8 one and decided they work better plus i get to relax before hand easier

and they dont cost more so

[graceful burrow]

do you know what hhc is

[wary dock]

Nope

[graceful burrow]

darn
i take even scarier amounts of that kek

my body doesnt intake cannabinoids correctly so i have to take crazy dosages
father is the same way

[covert cradle]

Something something entourage effect is good is what I've heard. The combination of cbd+thc being better than either alone

[wary dock]

My prescriber suggested cbd and cbn for sleep. They do help.

[graceful burrow]

the gummies i take only have 0.3% thc by law

the cbd is what helps me tho, and that's just inherently kinda in there

[tepid jasper]

but did you bring enough for the whole class?

[wary dock]

I should probably get some medicine for sleep.

[graceful burrow]

technically i do have enough for everyone because i'd have to split gummies into 1/5ths lol

[covert cradle]

Ah, it's full legal here. Shops sell high ratio 20:1, 10:1, 5:1, etc CBD:THC gummies that are supposed to be really good for sleep

[tepid jasper]

the class teacher splitting your gummy into 1 atom thin slices:

[graceful burrow]

jealous
my governor just made it much much harder to get gummies
and if i cant get gummies ill go weeks without any meaningful sleep, and zero actual rem sleep

[tepid jasper]

just be me and willing lose sleep

[graceful burrow]

before i tried cbd stuff i was 5 days in a row without sleep id do anything to be asleep

[tepid jasper]

i should be going to bed but i'm not

[graceful burrow]

5 days in a row workin 40 hour job no bueno

[tepid jasper]

wait holy hecking cow

were you not hallucinating at that point?

[graceful burrow]

i was delirious according to friends and family

[tepid jasper]

i'd bet

[graceful burrow]

but i wasnt hallucinating

[covert cradle]

ouch. I hope the feds get their shit together but I'm not optimistic

[wary dock]

Didn’t some gamers die after a few days of no sleep?

[tepid jasper]

personally i find anything over a day super brutal

[graceful burrow]

theres a loophole they cant do anything about at the state level so im good kek
i just have to order it from an out of state store

[covert cradle]

yeah, farm bill iirc

[wary dock]

The feds will. They eventually go in the direction of popular opinion as a pressure relief valve.

[wary dock]

Which games?

[graceful burrow]

i unironically cant tell you its under nda kek

[covert cradle]

trust us bro, we won't tell

[misty burrow]

Aldonist. I gotta give you props. I come into this discord every couple of months for tech help or advice and I always every single time see you bruh you are active

[graceful burrow]

nice pfp

[misty burrow]

Thank you lol

[wary dock]

I feel like there aren't enough games designed for medicated people. a11y miss.

[graceful burrow]

there are plenty

[wary dock]

What's top for you?

[graceful burrow]

play alan wake 2 off 100mg of d8 and tell me it isnt immersive

[fossil frost]

alan wake 1 and 2 are immersive anyway

[wary dock]

I was thinking more chill and cozy games. eg. Mini Metro. Mini Motorways.

[vapid smelt]

why roll a d8 when we have d20s

[graceful burrow]

oh i usually play fps games lol

thats comfy for me

[wary dock]

I must have overlooked those relaxing shooter games. jk jk

comfy is familiar

[solemn reef]

is D_led1 on the b560m ds3h plus compatible with ARGB???

[graceful burrow]

your manual will give you that information

[solemn reef]

it says it is and the fans i want to purchase say they are but it 3 pin or 4 pin the ARGB

[graceful burrow]

if they're both listed as specifically argb that means they go together

you have all the information

[solemn reef]

ok thank you

Argb means it is compatible with softwares correct

[covert cradle]

Yes. Normal ARGB is 3 pins on a 4 pin header

[solemn reef]

ok thank you so will these fans. https://www.umart.com.au/product/cooler-master-120mm-sickleflow-argb-fan-3-pack-mfx-b2dn-183pa-r1-59634 be compatible with this mobo. https://www.gigabyte.com/au/Motherboard/B560M-DS3H-PLUS-rev-10#kf

[covert cradle]

yes

[wary dock]

Is it because you are working on it?

[graceful burrow]

no

im dont do game dev for a living

[solemn reef]

thank you

[wary dock]

ah gotcha. if you want to try my game. lemme know and ill drop a key.

[graceful burrow]

what engine is it

[wary dock]

unity

[graceful burrow]

why did you choose unity

[wary dock]

It was the right tool for the job.

[covert cradle]

That's a very non-answer lol

[graceful burrow]

no i understand it

[viscid elm]

when did you start making it?

[graceful burrow]

i wasnt tryna mean anything about it i dont subscribe to the unity drama kek

[wary dock]

It's PC only. It works on Steamdeck (randomly?) but the UI is expecting mouse clicks, so you need to mash the screen.

[graceful burrow]

does it have a linux build or is it just using proton

[wary dock]

it must just be proton.

[graceful burrow]

yeah if you didnt do a linux build its proton

proton is REALLY good
i plan to bank on it but if need be put out a proper linux build

[wary dock]

2023 after getting 'retired'. I picked Unity because I wanted to do a mass simulation game. Where quantity had its own quality. And DOTS seemed like an interesting fit. Wanted to try data oriented before.

Honestly I don't think I'll make another non ECS game again.

[viscid elm]

makes sense

[graceful burrow]

its definitely a concept i havent seen before

[wary dock]

100% sold on ECS for gamedev until a robot does all of this instead of me.

[graceful burrow]

im unfamiliar with the term ecs and dots

[wary dock]

Sorry for all the edits. I feel like if I don't use very precise language, someone takes a shit on my head.

[graceful burrow]

im too high to do that rn anyway

[wary dock]

ECS = entity component system. and alternative to OOP.

DOTS = data oriented tech stack. It's Unity's new way of making games. Which has a HPC# (high performance C#), the Burst compiler that leverages HPC# to get about a two order of magnitude speed increase. New Jobs system. And all of that packaged into an ECS framework.

[graceful burrow]

i see

[covert cradle]

ECS is almost like a runtime OOP

[graceful burrow]

i dont write real code i write python

[covert cradle]

lmao

[wary dock]

oh so you make those ML dollars.

jelly.

[graceful burrow]

thats a big reason i chose godot over unity or unreal
gdscript is python-like

[graceful burrow]

dont get it twisted
i suck lmao

im makin no dollars from my coding skills

[wary dock]

imo. C# would be an easy step for you. If you ever felt the need.

I hate coding in Python. But that might just be a me thing.

[graceful burrow]

that's what i plan to use if i ever but python is comfy cozy and does everything i want

its stupid simple and tech is fast enough now that unless the project is HUGE it doesnt really matter that its techincally slower

[covert cradle]

nah, not just you. Python gives me a headache too

[graceful burrow]

[wary dock]

It also might be that I hate the things I use Python for. If it is not juicy enough to warrant C# or better, its gonna be a slog of a task. imo

[graceful burrow]

I like writing little tools

[wary dock]

Not that it matters once someone combines AI and coding into some new approach to system design and impl.

[graceful burrow]

@wary dock idk your age so idk what consoles you grew up with if any but are you familiar with the kings field games

[wary dock]

intellisense++ is cool. but it doesn't light my world on fire.

[graceful burrow]

I won't use an ai unless I can run it locally and offline

No reason to do anything different

[covert cradle]

I've only made vulkan toy renderers, so I've stuck with C++ and Rust. I'm trying out Swift now though and it's a pretty neat language. Like check out the tuple syntax. very cool

func minMax(array: [Int]) -> (min: Int, max: Int)

It's so tasty tho.

What else do I got to look forward to? The climate? 😭

[hazy parrot]

[spiral zodiac]

is it a dick move to call in sick despite only feeling slightly under the weather, but knowing you have a high body temp of around 100?

[hazy parrot]

bro you are literally contagious

[spiral zodiac]

sooo....call in sick then

i have a sore throat, thats about it rn lol

[hazy parrot]

im not your doctor

[wary dock]

Should I take a day off and chill at home or should I make my coworkers sick.

Tricky.

[dusky veldt]

take the sick day and play some gayme or do ur laundry or something

[spiral zodiac]

well i work in manufacturing, QC. so not going in to work can cause serious problems. i help keep the electrical grid operating lol

[wary dock]

So you are saying you might accidentally give other people the day off work?

[spiral zodiac]

maybe lol

[dusky veldt]

bro ur work's gonna have even more problems if you go in like a walking talking disease factory

[wary dock]

I don't know of the negative impacts. But I remember the blackout of 2003 being really chill in T.O. It was a city wide patio day.

Damn. I can barely remember it. Covid brain? Or just old?

[wary dock]

Nah never played them. But I grew up with Atari onwards.

[ionic abyss]

ok who else thinks kapersky left the usa customers in a nighmarishly reputation scaring way

[wary dock]

People use Kaspersky stuff still?

[graceful burrow]

Nobody in the usa lol

[ionic abyss]

what person at kapersky thought it was a good idea to force the install of some garbage scam av program rather than asking the end user

no one in the usa uses kapersky we all got moved to ultra av weither we wanted it or not!!!

[wary dock]

ultra av = windows defender?

[ionic abyss]

no worse

think mcafee lvl stuff

or worse

i never heard of it till it installed itself

i would have refused it if given the option

had to google what happened

[wary dock]

We're still talking about Kapersky, so maybe he made the right choice, sold out and bro downed. /s

[ionic abyss]

kapersky wasnt in the wrong for leaving the usa market

they were extremely wrong for forcing the install of ultra av

if they come back ill never trust them again

thats the move they chose to go out on

why not partner with a company like panda

panda has ok av not good but ok

its like i may stop using some iobit programs soon due to their itop partnership\

dont know about itop dont want to know or install any of their software

rare to make such a bad move to do the right thing

[wary dock]

Sounds like a poorly structured business if someone getting sick or hurt can drop the grid 😅 Ya'll might want to fix that up there. I get my hydro from QC afaik.

[ionic abyss]

hey we need to get out of the usa market

hey heres a idea lets ditch that market and install what is basicaly malware inplace of our old av

yeah that will go over great with them

thats what conversation some one at kapersky had to have had

[hazy parrot]

AV as a concept had its gold age dry up years ago

its a dying business relying on scare tactics and false positives to convince end users.

in the business sector access control for employees has left physical workstations in favor of vpn'ing to virtual machines

[wary dock]

sounds like vpn providers😅

[manic torrent]

And it was never a great industry to start with

[manic torrent]

Not entirely - but it's now endpoint control and protection not "AV"

[hazy parrot]

yup, in the end the core feature of an AV, all used the same exact signature database.

[hazy parrot]

right, proactive approach vs passive/reactive

[wary dock]

Feels like it has outpaced innovation on the other side.

[hazy parrot]

in what way?

[wary dock]

viruses as an end user seem like less of an issue.

or maybe it is because I don't visit the bay anymore.

i also don't own a pager, so don't take my word for it.

[hazy parrot]

its a lot of things, internet literacy is probably the biggest

[manic torrent]

It's more that the threats are complex and different

Bad actors are following the opportunities.

[wary dock]

luckily i don't think end users need to know the term 'state level actor'.

[hazy parrot]

they just subpoena whoever holds the data

[wary dock]

not that state lol

maybe it has been a shift in responsibilities. or maybe literacy.

[spiral zodiac]

@wary dock qc as in quality control

I inspect to make sure the components going to power plants are right.

[wary dock]

ahh. au revoir then.

[manic torrent]

Lol that's not what state level actor means

[wary dock]

well it could mean that if you want to get laid in college.

(that joke is a reach, but I'm not going to explain it)

[covert cradle]

So much is now purely social engineering. Who needs a zero day when you can get a user to just run your malware

[manic torrent]

[wary dock]

There is a reason red teams aren't allowed to use social engineering. It's cheating.

[covert cradle]

I noticed Defender even got some form of phishing protection, but idrk how effective that is

I just made my xmas wallpaper, i know its but early, but it was almost free... Im not charging 50usd/year for it.

[spiral zodiac]

gonna take a test to see if i cought the new strain going around

[austere shale]

A homeless person just asked me if I had cashapp after I said I didn’t have any cash in me. That’s a first

[wispy marsh]

Huh

[austere shale]

I was filling up my car at a gas station that always has homeless people at it, dude walks up and asks if I have any change on me, I said no, then he asked if I had cashapp so I could send him money with my phone

[supple jay]

and what did you do?

[austere shale]

Lie and say I didn’t have cashapp

I don’t give homeless people money, instead I give them food or water or stuff like that so I know they don’t use it for drugs

[wispy marsh]

That's nice

[bright silo]

how does one be homeless and afford a cell phone/data?

i am confusion

[austere shale]

Boost Mobile or something to that sort I assume

[bright silo]

oh right prepaid

[austere shale]

But yea that was definitely a first

[mortal kraken]

I mean, many definitely lie right, but I'd not immediately assume if someone doesn't actually have a stable place to live in means they have absolutely no technology to use and no phone service.

Many also can be using their cars actually to sleep, still considered homeless

[austere shale]

I agree, there are definitely some of those around but most of them I would argue don’t have their shit together enough for even that. There’s definitely a lot of people sleeping in tents places or the sidewalk

Or the tweakers who walk around damn near naked doing the fent lean

A good portion of the homeless people I see around are pretty chill tho

Back when I worked in a field position at my job we’d pay homeless dudes to watch our trucks and equipment overnight so shit didn’t get stolen

I’ve also been known to pick up hitch hikers on my many journeys across the country, one time in Oregon I had this dude Idaho Joe ride on the roof of my wagon into the next town which was like 10 miles or so

Lemme see if I can find the video because ik that sounds fake as hell

[bright silo]

while I agree, I just don't think someone living in a car would be asking for money like that

idk its a complicated issue

lots of nuance

[spiral zodiac]

On top of the temp and sore throat, my heart has been skipping a beat a lot more frequently. Which is why I went to the doctor yesterday lol

I don't feel pain, lightheaded, or any kind of sign of a heart attack. Just...skipped beats.

[bright silo]

sounds the same as my mystery virus I had recently, minus heart stuff

wasnt Covid, strep, or flu

[coarse tinsel]

man why is the latest vid's title that 😭

Wonder if there will be video about the new xiaomi 100inch oled

How's this for a motherboard? I'm not entirely sure what makes a motherboard good or bad

[hazy parrot]

Good question.

Nothing at all. Unless you're buying the highest TDP CPUs on the market?

All it needs to do is support the hardware you wanna plug into it. Some exceptions like wifi.

If your storage is a gen 4 mvme, make sure mobo supports it etc.

Otherwise, the price curve in motherboards is inconsequential / style / stupid stuff

Hey guys. Yesterday I kinda spill water off my desk while my pc was off and then some water drops made it on top of the pc. I don't know if some made it inside the pc and I am worried to turn it on. What should I do

Hey hi o//

[shadow spruce]

without knowing what country that is id say you are out of luck and would need to save up and move to a different country that discord is legal in if you wanna be able to keep using discord legally that is!

[fossil frost]

irc, matrix, slack

google exists too, and you can just search and find out

also, you are on discord, so it cant be THAT banned

[shadow spruce]

im saying if you wanna keep using discord itself you would have to save up some money and move to a different country where discord is legal to use in!

[fossil frost]

tbh, any country banning discord, is likely banning anything similar too

[shadow spruce]

which country is it that you live if i may ask?

[fossil frost]

does your country start with an R and end with an A in english? (the word is banned i think)

thought so

[shadow spruce]

yup can comfirm you are screwed by your own countrys leader!

[fossil frost]

i would say, struggle by with what you can do, as long as you arent seen to be "causing trouble", from what ive read, you are likely to be fine to use a vpn within your particular country

[shadow spruce]

just wondering where did you read that at?

[fossil frost]

that isnt legal advice btw, you know your country and your ruler better than we do, im just going from what i have read and heard from other people... you have to draw attention to yourself while using the gray area services, to have anyone pay any attention to you

people dont get to choose their spawn point in life, they only get to choose how they play their own game.. nobody should be judging you because of where you live, just because you happen to live there

[fossil frost]

just discovered an actual, real, good use of chatgpt style LLM's

gave me the shopping list that i would have made myself 😄

whats the most protective iphone case nowar days

[fossil frost]

the box it came in

[tropic gulch]

i want to buy a 16 pro and have it last as long my 11 its still brand new

back in the day it was rhinoshield dont know about now

[wary dock]

maybe otterbox or lifeproof. something that is completely enclosed and waterproof up to some depth.

[fossil frost]

i use these style cases https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ringke-Onyx-Compatible-Anti-Fingerprint-Shockproof-Mint/dp/B0DBWTSNR9 they are just a tight TPU cover that is plenty to take the shock out of any drop, and stand away from the screen just enough to make it so that if you drop it screen down, the screen never touches the floor

[wary dock]

Personally I went for the shieldon leather wallet / folio case for my 16p. Because I'm old as fuck.

[fossil frost]

im pretty sure they do the same style cases for iphone too

[tropic gulch]

being old and having an iphone dont go together 😂

my dad still uses a cat b25 ifykyk

[fossil frost]

older people generally use iphones, because they dont know any better

[wary dock]

i'm the youngest in my direct family and am the last one to switch over to the apple ecosystem.

[fossil frost]

that, and they have the image of being easier to use than android based phones, which they arent, they are the same usability, have been for a while

[tropic gulch]

dont know about old people but I have used both android and iphone(mostly android) but its personal preference for me to use apple

[wary dock]

young people think old people use iphones because they don't know any better, because they don't know any better 😂

apple makes fantastic products, they are just slow on feature uptake.

[fossil frost]

your personal preference is just that, your preference, you use whatever you want

just because i dont/wouldnt, doesnt mean nobody should, and just because you do, doesnt mean everybody should

Is using an older PSU a smart idea?
I reused a CM Vanguard V850 and sometimes end up in doubt with the new build

[viscid lagoon]

Depends on rating and what you're going to run on it

[unkempt bluff]

Earlier had a i7 6700k and a 980 ti
Now swapped to a Ryzen 5 7600x and 7900 gre - primarily gaming and WFH use (Microsoft office and Gsuite for Digital Marketing)

[wary dock]

is there a risk of older PSUs burning out and damaging newer components?

[unkempt bluff]

Literally my fear - the cm Vanguard v850 is 80+ gold but started use in 2016

[viscid lagoon]

I'm not the guy to ask for that. Honestly I'd make sure you stay within the Wattage rating and I'd think you're fine.

[unkempt bluff]

I7 6700k - 100 watts
980 ti - around 250 watts

Pretty sure the current setup pulls way less because ryzen cpus are efficient

[exotic oxide]

what car is linus driving?

[unkempt bluff]

So basically

7600x - 95 watts
7900 gre - 260 watts

Crux being I'm literally pulling less than 400 watts on both builds

i have a desk mic so dont really need a mic on my headset

hi

Everybody has different tastes too when it comes to audio, so buy from some place you can return them to if you don't like the fit or sound.

[hexed seal]

i like decent audio but at the same time budget friendly

[wary dock]

100%. min max that value/cost.

whats a decent enough upgrade from the rx 480 that isnt TOO EXPENSIVE (over 170 euros or smth like that cuz ion got money for that nor would my dad allow it), my cpu is ryzen 5 3600 and i have 16gb ram

[wary dock]

Don't skimp on display or audio, the two senses you are experiencing. imo

[sour merlin]

is the rx 5700xt a good choice for this kind of situation

[wary dock]

I recently switched to Sundaras (since they match my preferred style of eq) and am kinda sad that I've been missing out on a lot from my favorite songs for so many years.

[hexed seal]

i have speakers for my audio i just use my headset to interact with my discord and ingame chat

[wary dock]

Ah gotcha. I listen to music on them when I can't make noise.

[tired glade]

Oh, speakers

[hexed seal]

yup

ya i just broke my headset i had for years

so looking for replacements

my headset was the razer kraken v3 X wired headset

[still geyser]

Hear me out: Audio Interface + headphones + microphone

It's so much better and it's so worth it

plus if one thing breaks you only have to replace that part not the entire set up

and if you want to upgrade you only have to upgrade the part that needs it

plus you'll have the best audio quality of anyone you game with

[fossil frost]

Plus the power your ram uses, your motherboard it's self, any drives you have attached, any USB devices you have attached, any fans you have, any RGB you have. Those watts can add up quickly

I wouldn't run your system on a PSU rated lower than 550

[fossil frost]

So you are saying that better things that are designed for an individual purpose, are better? 😁

[still geyser]

Yes

[long briar]

yea, it's also more expensive

PC38x will do just fine.

going like HD560s + Minifuse 1 + XM8500 costs twice as much and that's about the cheapest setup I'd be okay recommending if you're going that route

[still geyser]

you can get pieces at a time and spread the expense so that you are getting the best of both worlds

[long briar]

except you still aren't

Then you'll find that the XM8500 doesn't have tight enough bass response so you decide you want smth better, bam you bought an SE V7 and you've spent three times as much as you would've - then you go spend more money on a better headphone or more headphones, or literally anything in the chain.

all for what? so your teammates can hear you in HD?

most of them can't tell the diff between a U47 and a PC38x built in mic,

Going for a "nice" audio setup is for you and yourself only.

Nobody cares what you have except for you

so if you have the money for a headphone interface xlr setup and it makes you feel good by all means go for it

but it's not neccessary by any stretch of the imagination

[balmy tiger]

audio interface ?

[still geyser]

it allows you to use separate microphone and headphone as well as just better quality mics

[balmy tiger]

You mean a sound card ?

[still geyser]

no

https://www.mi.edu/in-the-know/do-you-need-audio-interface/

[balmy tiger]

what about a sound card

[long briar]

Tl;dr: you don't need an interface

you don't need any fancy audio setup at all

[still geyser]

you don't need a headset then. a inline mic on some earpods will work fine /s

[fossil frost]

an audio interface can be a soundcard as well, but it can also be just an adapter that connects to your sound card.. or, you can just plug nice headphones and a nice mic into your existing ports on your machine

[long briar]

unironically there are professional gamers that do this.

[bronze juniper]

Hey guys and gals does someone knows how to get a floatplane subscription on iphone app it doesn’t work very well for me, idk why

[fossil frost]

people think XLR is some massive thing that massively increases quality... its used in pro audio because its a more robust connector...

[still geyser]

professional gamers have very different needs than your normal user

[balmy tiger]

nobody should get a headset

[long briar]

you said earpods.

[balmy tiger]

tl dr of headsets:

Cheap build quality
Trash sound
Bad Mic
Gaming Brand that doesnt mean shit

Headphone + Microphone setup >

[long briar]

Drop x Epos (sennheiser) PC38x.

I've been saying this. Over. And. Over.

[balmy tiger]

ok that's not your typical headsets and that costs a fortune

[long briar]

driver structure of a 500 series but tuned like an HD600

[fossil frost]

my step brother was sending me links to £300 "gaming headsets" last week... i told him not to buy any of them, and to buy the sony xm5's instead, cheaper, sound loads better, and the mic that is built in, is far better than any of those logitech ones he was sending me

[long briar]

169USD is a fortune?

https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset

in fact the HyperX Cloud ii is actually somewhat decently tuned

but it's not surprising since it's based off of the Takstar Pro 80 which is a DT770 ripoff

[long briar]

XM5 have too much bass IMO

but most people seem to like more bass so I understand why Sony tuned it that way

[long briar]

tl;dr of most headphones:
Cheap build quality
Trash sound
Bad [No] Mic
Gaming Brand that doesnt mean shit

[balmy tiger]

???

what

[long briar]

I stand by what I said.

Sennheiser has like 50 models for sale and only like 5 are worth getting

[balmy tiger]

Sony also makes great headphones

[long briar]

sure they do

(they don't)

[still geyser]

thats what 3rd party reviews are for

[balmy tiger]

you cant compare actual headphones to the gimmicky ahh hyperx and corsair crap that dominates the market

[long briar]

mm yes 400hz 10db bass shelf

you can't look at that and tell me those are good

[balmy tiger]

what about a headset in the same price range

[long briar]

or Sony's flagship headphones; the MDR Z1R

[balmy tiger]

200 dollar, compare it to that

[long briar]

yikes.

[long briar]

PC38x is 169.

[balmy tiger]

compare it to the sony

one

[long briar]

yum yum

oh wait you can get HD6xx for 200ish

[muted delta]

Hi

[balmy tiger]

damn it

[still geyser]

also I'd just love to say that saying "get an audio interface, mic, and headphones" is not saying "get audiophile gear and chase percents"

[balmy tiger]

I surrender

[long briar]

it's misleading at best

[still geyser]

even a budget audio setup is better than the mass majority of headsets

also no it isn't

[long briar]

getting an audio interface, mic, and headphones does not neccessarily mean it's gonna sound better than a decent headset

audiophile gear is NOT percents

it's a subjective hobby

that's why while I don't like the XM4/5, I won't hate people who like it

[still geyser]

of chasing percents. It's just subjective which percents you chase

its all just miniscule differences

[long briar]

no it isn't

10db is what, perceived 3 times louder?

your bass isn't bleeding into the mids it's just splat across the entire graph

[balmy tiger]

ig I should stick to what I know

and not try to argue on topics I have little to no knowledge on

[still geyser]

👍

[balmy tiger]

😭

[long briar]

dw about it

get what you like, if you like how it sounds that's what's important

[still geyser]

I'm saying get a good enough AI, good enough (for you) headphones, and good enough mic

it will almost certainly outperform most headsets

[balmy tiger]

After the purchase of a new phone, I want these headphones: https://www.amazon.fr/Sony-WH-CH720N-Bluetooth-réduction-dautonomie/dp/B0BTDX26B2/ref=sr_1_5

[long briar]

and a PC38x is for most people a great headphone with a decent mic

[balmy tiger]

Give me criticism

[still geyser]

and then when one part breaks it's not all ewaste

[long briar]

you send a setup then.

[balmy tiger]

@long briar

[long briar]

Send a setup: your goal to beat is a PC38x.

[long briar]

I don't like those headphones either

[still geyser]

nah, I'mma go touch grass lol

[long briar]

lots of the same issues as XM series which is an incredibly bassy frequency response

[long briar]

then don't go around spouting shit you don't understand.

[still geyser]

except i literally do lol

I'm just choosing to no longer engage with you

[long briar]

"nah"

What's your audio setup?

[muted delta]

Linus I love your videos when I get the time to watch them. Just keep up the great work. I also love it when you involve your own family in these videos. Families are really important. Feel free to DM me.

[pure knoll]

Aight dawg

[dusky veldt]

what did he mean by this...

[hazy parrot]

[solemn reef]

anyone familiar with fan brands. Which would be better Coolermaster Sickeflow 120mm or the deepcool 120mm fans

[hazy parrot]

those are fans I would only buy if they came free with something else.

whats your budget

[solemn reef]

like 120 bucks aud

im not doing too much intensive gaming

[hazy parrot]

can you link me your favorite retailer

[full fossil]

Guys who remembers the 1000$ high end pc that comes with the i7 7600k and GTX 1080ti and 16GB of DDR4 from 2017 😢

[solemn reef]

i dont mind buying them individual i just kinda want ARGB and daisychaining

[solemn reef]

https://www.umart.com.au/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjNS3BhChARIsAOxBM6p8STSqVXjm6EywEFU1rEnLLkSCXfdKZf8mRbInofyYbc8lrG4RkH0aAl9gEALw_wcB\

[hazy parrot]

are you sensitive about noise, or really care about silence

[solemn reef]

i dont care to much as long as they dont sound like jett engines i currently have the EZDIY FAB fans and they are just shit

[hazy parrot]

these fans are fantastic in that case, but if you want rgb, thats not the play

[solemn reef]

yeah they would be a bit pricey for 5 of them as i have 6 in my system yet i have a normal black one that came with the case for exhaust

[hazy parrot]

you'd faint seeing noctuas then lol

[scarlet maple]

O.O I just saw the LTT CompTIA video and I Used tech quickie to pass the CompTIA A+ back in 2017

[solemn reef]

already have lol

[hazy parrot]

this retailer has a great selection, but im unfamiliar with what rgb variants to go for. I really really like the silentwings4 though.

[tribal zenith]

What Would yall choose, 27 inch or 32?

[hazy parrot]

49"

[tribal zenith]

Intresting

[solemn reef]

ok thank you are the Sickleflow still a decent option for lower budget fans

[hazy parrot]

idk, what Ive seen is, people more often than not, swap out the fans included in cooler master cases for more popular options, like arctic p12, the aforementioned, nf120, t30's

[solemn reef]

i have corsair 4000d fan caser

i just need some like cheaper fans that will get the job done are they an okay option

[hazy parrot]

I just dont wanna vouch a fan that proritizes how it looks over what matters

[solemn reef]

well whats some that do both

[fossil frost]

any fan will move air for you, and thats what you NEED it to do... what you WANT it to do, and what you pay for, is for it to move a lot of air, quietly...

[solemn reef]

yeah true but with my headphones on i can barely heare them and not at all

[fossil frost]

yeah i use headphones too, but loud horrible grindy fans, just make your expensive PC feel and seem cheap

[astral summit]

Hi, I need someone to talk to. I want to grow younger and become a technologist.

[solemn reef]

yeah would u have any reccomendations for cheaper and possibly ARGB fans from that UMART webstie

[fossil frost]

no idea, good fans dont come cheap

i bought noctua, because its not worh the hassle of trying to shop round to save 5-7 on a fan that is quite literally, quieter than my own breathing

[solemn reef]

is antec f12 fusion any good fans

[solemn reef]

yeah the sickleflows say 8 db but pretty sure thats on lowest of lows rpm.

[solemn reef]

i just dont have that kind of money to fork out over fans unfortunately

[fossil frost]

they would make more noise than 8db when they were switched off

[solemn reef]

yeah lol thats what i was thinking it seemed a little too quiet

[surreal kernel]

i dunno if 2 noctua fans are worth 5 similarly good fans :p

[long briar]

sickeflows are probably one of the noisiest fans I've ever tried

[solemn reef]

really? shit

[fossil frost]

bearings made from gravel?

[long briar]

bearings are kinda whatever, the motor is so loud

well, probably overstating it a bit

but it's really annoying

[solemn reef]

https://www.umart.com.au/product/antec-f12-racing-argb-120mm-pwm-case-fan-3pack-76259 what abt these ones

the fans i have now are sittig at 22 db

there is these ones https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/cooling/fans/91820-fd-f-as1-1207\
