because all the main stores here always overcharge on games

way above what they go for online

[kind vine]

what laptop shld I get? prices as follow in SGD
1449 from MSI, 1384 for A15 TUF, 1349 for F16 tuf

only MSI offers 24g here with i7 13620H

the A15 comes with a AMD cpu being the 7435HS and a 4060

The F15 is some 210H intel cpu with a 4050 being the cheapest here

[iron blaze]

if there ever will be a hack for the switch 2, you bet your ass i'm getting a used console off facebook marketplace or smth

[wild imp]

keegi eestlane siin

[iron blaze]

what

[wild imp]

dont asck

ask

is that wrong

[hot tartan]

Most the recent Switch games I have played have been without touching a switch at all

[wild imp]

i eat bread

[iron blaze]

i just hate the input lag from bt controllers that's why i don't emulate on pc

[wild imp]

yhat do you eat

[hot tartan]

You need some better controllers or smth

[iron blaze]

i get like 3/5 of a second using official controllers

tried both joycons and a pro controller

[hot tartan]

Or a better bluetooth receiver

[iron blaze]

idk i just use the one from my wifi card

[hot tartan]

Oh I just use my dualsense works fantastic

Joycons on PC are wack

[iron blaze]

so is every other controller from my experience

[hot tartan]

Dualsense lets you use gyro aiming and the haptic feedback

[hot tartan]

Back in the dualshock era where I had to use a bluetooth usb adapter it was bad, but nowadays native Dualsense bluetooth just works like a charm

[iron blaze]

i have a ds4

[idle nymph]

Sweet ride, idk how u use it as a controller tho

[iron blaze]

LMAOOO

[idle nymph]

I'll trade u the car for three bucks and a controller

[full fossil]

Anyone online

[iron blaze]

i wish i could drive ngl

not old enough

[idle nymph]

I can drive with a parent in the car

[iron blaze]

you need to be 17 to pass the exams on a pc

[idle nymph]

I'm an insanely trash driver

[iron blaze]

and 18 to pass the actual driving test

[iron blaze]

oh wow

[idle nymph]

Can't lie I might be one of the worst there is

[iron blaze]

and i'm only 16 so yeah i can't

[idle nymph]

I got a joke I wanted to make but nah not here

[iron blaze]

although in france there are cars you can drive without a license from 14 iirc

[idle nymph]

Rip, I'm also 16 but here at 16 you can drive with parent in the car

[iron blaze]

you do still need to take exams

[idle nymph]

[kind vine]

chat shld I get the 210H or the 7435HS laptop CPUs?
AMD here has the advantage in power efficiency and temp, but is $70 SGD more expensive than the 210H

However, it does come with a 4060 instead of a 4050

[gilded quest]

4060 is worth it alone

[kind vine]

alr ty

[gilded quest]

Assuming you want to game or do anything that would utilize the better gpu

[kind vine]

I was originally gonna jst get a laptop for sch and ez games to run, but the price brackets and availability for 16gb and more ram sucked

[gilded quest]

Yeah gaming laptops have always been "budget productivity laptops"

[kind vine]

so im thinking why not jst get one with a gpu so if i go out i can jst play if i want

[sonic meteor]

Is an R9 9900x overkill for an RX7900xt?

its cheaper than getting an R7 9700x with the microcenter bundle and the parts that i want to get

[kind vine]

then go ahead

[gilded quest]

Microcenter bundle is 9900x?

Sure ig

If the bundle price is actually a deal go for it

[kind vine]

and to answer ur question, depends but I wouldnt say its overkill

both are “pretty” high end on the spectrum

[sonic meteor]

Yeah

With the bundle price it drops the price of the r9900x to the MSRP for the R9700x

[gilded quest]

9900x isn't necessarily overkill since in gaming its 2 9600x in a trenchcoat

[sonic meteor]

and then it also reduces the price of the mobo and ram

[gilded quest]

And ideally your game will sit on one CCD to reduce any core to core latency

[sonic meteor]

Since i also do CAD and aero sims that should help me out considerably

Bro ran a program

bro may be cooked

[keen helm]

is there anything he can do

he does have nordvpn though

atleast thats what he told me

[sonic meteor]

Whatever program that got ran may be still running in the background

[gilded quest]

Ultimately any of the 9000 series CPUs is going to game well so you can't really go wrong

[neon mesa]

Nothing like posting rage bait on reddit and leaving notifications on

[strange elk]

why are people so annoyed by bezels still

Just get over it

like oh no my phone is wider than my screen by .5mm

[neon mesa]

Do people forgot what it's like before the Samsung S8

[strange elk]

Holepunch is more annoying to me than having a top bar tbh

Because interrupts in the screen are better ig

[echo sluice]

yes

[sharp drift]

Hey can you guys tell me a good water pump for builcing

I’m on a budget

[harsh quartz]

Same. Make the content a little smaller, that’s okay, do not put a fucking hole in the screen

But same with the notch. Make the content go to the edge of the notch, don’t make it go to the edge of the screen and have a notch cut out

[vocal wing]

I love ragebait

"Macs are so good for gaming. It is so faster than my old PC"

Linux sucks, windows better

[harsh quartz]

[neon mesa]

That's a cold ass take

[vocal wing]

Don't hate me for this but I perfer the Windows 8 Start Screen before Windows 11 came out...

[gilded quest]

Ah, an intellectual

[vocal wing]

Screw Adobe, THEY fucking charged me for a cancellation fee even when for a free trial or something

[strange elk]

if you need my card for a free trial, I know you def dont intend on keeping it that way

[surreal lodge]

That's why you use paypal with them, then just never pay

[strange elk]

Or get one of those funny limited digital cards. https://www.privacy.com/

[crystal flare]

my samsung galaxy s25 came today! i'm so happy!

[surreal lodge]

I thought I purchased a monthly subscription, turns out it's yearly paid monthly, wording was not clear at all. I just never paid

[abstract elbow]

Guys planning my first ever build takes too much of my braincells.

It has to be perfect.

[strange elk]

lmao thats stupid

[surreal lodge]

pcpartpicker

[abstract elbow]

Doesn't apply for me, I don't live in the states unfortunately.

[surreal lodge]

oh does it only work in the states?

[strange elk]

smule took money from apple I didnt have after the free trial and locked purchases on that apple account.

[crystal flare]

try payin 360 dollars for 12 months of service when it's advertized as 30 bucks a month for 12 months.

[abstract elbow]

I mean the stores there most likely don't ship here

[surreal lodge]

ah

[abstract elbow]

Sure I can pick parts, but can't know the price

[surreal lodge]

oh that's a rip

[abstract elbow]

And availability

[crystal flare]

where you from?

[abstract elbow]

Baltics

🙏

[surreal lodge]

amazon and stores might be the answer

[strange elk]

back on android for good now since jailbreaking is basically dead these days

[crystal flare]

damn anti consumerism.

[abstract elbow]

Do you root

[strange elk]

I plan to.

[vocal wing]

that is what I did AND they charged me every month

[strange elk]

I got a secondhand phone which was apparently verizons first so I cant do that with what I have rn. Ill prob do it on my pixel 9 tho

[abstract elbow]

I rooted all my samsung phones

And with a little work you can use secure folder still

But I went back to stock and can't use it rn

[strange elk]

I dont plan to ever get a samsung lol

[surreal lodge]

I have a fold4, I am currently back to dailying my pixel 4

[strange elk]

Moving from the P4 lol

[surreal lodge]

cancel payments to them

[crystal flare]

I'm loyal to samsung phones because for me they just work.

[surreal lodge]

what phone

[strange elk]

Pixel

[surreal lodge]

9,10,11,500?

[strange elk]

There arent really options for phones that have a more open platform, that is available for romming

[strange elk]

4

[abstract elbow]

And I don't wanna learn how to root another phone.
With a samsung phone, I do it in my sleep.

I heard pixels are easy to root tho

[strange elk]

[strange elk]

long as it isnt a verizon

[abstract elbow]

And Google doesn't void your warranty I think?

[crystal flare]

mines a spectrum mobile.

[strange elk]

Not sure, dont really care much about that

No idea about other carriers tbh. It SEEMS the general concensus its just Verizon, maybe more recently T-Mobile

[abstract elbow]

Me neither, I literally bought A55 and rooted it the next day

It was brand new, day 1 basically warranty void

Oh also I heard Samsung US phones (Snapdragon) are impossible to root

[strange elk]

yeah, hence part of my disdain for them

[surreal lodge]

I'm dumb

[abstract elbow]

Me with my exynos chip and hot phone, yes.

[strange elk]

other part being their data collection policies and how much they want to push you into the smasnug ecosystem I dont want to be a part of

I see the value, its not for me. I have linux for that

[abstract elbow]

Anyways just waiting for OneUI 7 Beta (Android 15) to roll out for UK users and someone to get the ota link so I can download the binary and sideload the update, in case the beta doesn't get offered in my country.

[strange elk]

lol

ive never been more anxious about getting a phone. Excited but also just.. not

took me forever to choose it in the first place even though I kinda knew it was the only choice for me these days

[abstract elbow]

This is me rn, but instead of phone, it's my first desktop build.
And tbh I can't go too crazy cuz I don't even have peripherals

[strange elk]

also annoyed I couldnt get peony with my carrier

[strange elk]

I get/got anxiety over that. Lots can happen. In my experience its been super gratifying though

[abstract elbow]

I wanna get a 5090 tho. But then I can't afford the peripherals (Keyboard, mouse, monitor worthy of a 5090)

[strange elk]

yea 5090 aint worth it

not for a first build esp I dont think. unless you have a TON of disposable income ig and need it for production mostly imo

[abstract elbow]

I mean 5090 holds value better than a 5080, no?

Cause 5080 is basically just 4080 Ti Super

[strange elk]

I mean.. idk maybe? But whats that matter?

[abstract elbow]

16 GB VRAM is a joke in big '25

[strange elk]

I wouldnt say so

8gb and less is a joke

[split swift]

No, that's 8gigs

[strange elk]

12+gb is fine though

[abstract elbow]

I mean on a 80 class GPU

[strange elk]

Clearly not to Nvidia lmao

[vocal wing]

Is this worth it? HP 27 inch All-in-One Desktop PC, FHD Display, AMD Ryzen 7 7730U, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, AMD Radeon Graphics, Windows 11 Home, 27-cr0012 (2024) as I want to use it for healthcare training

[vocal wing]

Its a slap in the face

[split swift]

Its not bad, it should be 24 now since the 90 class has more but it's not bad, i never run into a vram issue on games

[abstract elbow]

4K?

[vocal wing]

8GB of RAM on a Mac was a total joke

Also why Macs have 256GB of storage

[split swift]

Yes

Never had a vram issue on anything

[abstract elbow]

Maybe it'll happen whenever GTA 6 drops

[split swift]

Iv done all resolutions and none of them give vram issues besides 8k

[split swift]

I doubt it

[strange elk]

Macs are.. different™️ so they almost get away with it. Maybe not so much these days though

[abstract elbow]

Ight

[strange elk]

I havent had vram issues either in 1440p at least with a Radeon RX 6700 10gb

Performance issues maybe but not vram related.

[split swift]

Oh i have, I have a 4070ti and it's 12gigs of vram struggles on some games at 1440p

[strange elk]

Running LLMs is a different story, if you plan on running those I guess go for a 5090 but thats kinda dumb imo

[split swift]

My custom llms run fine on 16gigs lol

[strange elk]

Which ones?

[split swift]

Wdym

[strange elk]

I mean for like the billion param ones or whatever

[strange elk]

What games

[split swift]

4b can run on like 4gigs lmao

[strange elk]

Ah. Idk LLMs, I just know I couldnt run much past some of the more basic ones

[split swift]

AAA games struggle at 1440p max settings

[split swift]

70b requires 48gigs of vram

[strange elk]

Idk what AAA games I guess. There arent many AAA games I care about much less buy I suppose

Do you want your primary monitor on the left or right of center?

Personal preference or some spaces are better suited for left/right

[civic fox]

Discord says it's a an api issue apparently

[regal hazel]

I came here to see if anyone was talking about that lol

@winged spire from a scale of one to 10 how big chance is it that it will work over usb-a to usb-c as the intended wps setup doesn't work

[winged spire]

probably 10

USB stick

I just got home and tried to open it on the desktop

[tiny halo]

to compooter

[winged spire]

USB stick

[tiny halo]

there's supposed to be a wpa_supplicant file on their website. That website is down

[green rapids]

discord should work on most phones since it probably doesnt fully stop the app, so it doesnt need to request api status to start

my theory at least

[regal hazel]

Yeah I'm on my phone right now Just a lot of delay

[primal cairn]

Is discord acting up?

[regal hazel]

Yes

it took 2mins just to get signed in on desktop for me

[oak pier]

please learn to just check downdetector

some servers took 20mins to get them loaded

now its not loading on my phone

[pseudo sand]

@strange elk you can react to my message with a linuth but theres literally nowhere to sign out of my microsoft account as far as i can see

As Jawa noted, it's likely AMD. If you want to be certain, I would contact LMG via the official contact details on the LMG website. We Discord mods have nothing to do with nor any control over the giveaways.

[urban thistle]

Can you guys build a system? That’s under 500 I will perform better and fit in with this desk/room.

[gilded vale]

ps5

[pallid falcon]

Microsoft support kinda wild

[tiny halo]

this is the wallpaper

[urban thistle]

A Pc

[shy summit]

If fitting in with that desk is a must, the fractal north is the first case that comes to mind. New it's going to blow the budget but you might be able to get one used.

[gilded vale]

something used on fb marketplace

[gilded vale]

just dont run a case lol

[urban thistle]

Or it could be white

[urban thistle]

You’re not helpful

[gilded vale]

i mean you literally dont have to run a case? and spending 20% of your budget on a case is not a good idea

if its gonna be inside a desk who cares how it looks

[shy summit]

I guess I assumed it was going to be on top of the desk.

[gilded vale]

ohh gotcha

[urban thistle]

My dad and Mom do they’re the one gonna be using it lol

[pallid falcon]

Change it to that

[gilded vale]

your best bet will be something used on fb marketplace though, $500 is kinda low for a brand new pc

id look for something around a 5600x 3060/AMD equivalent for $500

[tiny halo]

but the joke (srs sure)

[gilded vale]

if not better

[shy summit]

If feels like for these users, the way it looks is just as (if not more) important than performance.

[urban thistle]

Yes

[gilded vale]

but theyd like the style of a corporate workstation over something stylized lol

[pallid falcon]

:D

[shy summit]

What are the primary things they want to do on the system? Anything outside of light browsing?

[urban thistle]

Spreadsheets documents that kind of stuff

Maybe an occasional game

[shy summit]

What sort of games are we looking at

[urban thistle]

Mainly CPU focus games

[strange elk]

That fuckin penguins just standin there

Ugliest penguin I ever seen
MAAAAAAAAAA

[urban thistle]

It would be nice to have a GPU, but that is not a priority

[shy summit]

At that budget, I would be looking at intigrated graphics.

[strange elk]

At that budget likely secondhand too

least for a couple parts

idk locale but https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yXswHW

That might be decent

[shy summit]

My first instinct is to start with a decent second hand PC and then transplant it into a case that they like.

[tiny halo]

no gpu..

terrible

[strange elk]

$500 budget you arent getting a good gpu unless you just get an entire PC secondhand

[vapid smelt]

over priced cooler and ssd is a qlc drive

[tiny halo]

you'd go much better with a used 3[678]00x instead, and get like a 5700xt or 6600xt kek

that's a huge upgrade

[strange elk]

guess Im behind on the times regarding the cooler

[tiny halo]

[vapid smelt]

like by 5 years man

[strange elk]

youd go 3000 series?

Guess thats fair. Still a decent cpu

[tiny halo]

this ^ is what I'd do

[tiny halo]

well. Very good. THe performance is much better if you have a dgpu

[strange elk]

I know the drive is QLC, figured the concensus was thats generally fine these days

[jagged linden]

just got my noctua psu and i got the am5 contact frame because its going to look better with the water block

[tiny halo]

cheaper, better, TLC https://pcpartpicker.com/product/99RwrH/klevv-cras-c910-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-k01tbm2sp0-c91

[gilded vale]

yeah for $30 there is basically no other option than the A620 PRO SE (which goes on sale for like $25)

[vapid smelt]

tlc is the same price

[strange elk]

Ah. I thought Peerless Assassin pushed their prices

[gilded vale]

PA?

[strange elk]

different brand

misread

Never heard of Klevv, wary of names I dont recognize

[tiny halo]

nice mindset, no brand you reckon, no purchase

do some research for others then

[strange elk]

Not really what I said but aight

Im open to it, I just dont know of them. I have stuff to catch up on ig

[gilded vale]

theyve been around tbh and that drive is a commonly suggested one

[tiny halo]

also, sn580 was right there

[strange elk]

imblind

[gilded vale]

mp33 mp44ls are also decent tlc drives

[jagged linden]

is the sabrent rocket 5 a good drive?

[tiny halo]

overkill

[jagged linden]

im doing a 4tb gen 5 and then a 8tb gen 4

[tiny halo]

why

what workloads

[jagged linden]

cad

[strange elk]

lmao

[jagged linden]

video editing and i like to have all my games downloaded

[gilded vale]

bruh cad files arent even that large

[strange elk]

games are lol

[tiny halo]

a reputable TLC gen 4 drive will be more than enough. If you want a fast SSD, sn850x is my recommendation

[tiny halo]

most is done on ram too

[gilded vale]

yeah but like I never understood why people want to keep games downloaded

surely 90% of the games these people have they hadnt played in years

[tiny halo]

I thought we were talking about speeds meh

[strange elk]

I have a couple reasons, mostly relating to ADHD and archival.

[jagged linden]

im going 96gb ram

[gilded vale]

and if its a GOG game without DRM you should prolly just get a NAS and offload it to long term storage

[tiny halo]

Full specs of system and budget + monitor?

[jagged linden]

i am doing 9950x3d 5090 custom water cooled using heatkiller blocks and am probs going to get the new lg 5k2k

[strange elk]

granted Im also using ssds and mainly an 8tb wd blue for storing games

[gilded vale]

ok so youre either 12 and you arent gonna do any of this or youre 43 and having a midlife crisis

[jagged linden]

I have the mobo ram and psu rn

cpu and gpu are sold out at microcenter

[gilded vale]

lemme guess, you have a $12.3K pc part picker list youre gonna sendd

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/BOSGAME-M1-PCIe4-0-Speaker-Graphics/dp/B0CZKZQT5T? $457 with coupon the apu is pretty great, much faster then the 7600 apu

[tiny halo]

Hell yeah! Totally valid. I'd still not go with such high end SSDs, compare some higher end gen 4 and gen 5, if SN850x is at a good price rn, go for it

[jagged linden]

i dont have a pcpp list

i am probs going to order the case and stuff this weekend and daniel from singularity has been a big help with the water cooling stuff

[echo sluice]

goofy

[strange elk]

damn actually p sick

[shy summit]

43.. Man, I started my midlife crisis at 35.

[tiny halo]

sabrent rocket 4 is pretty cheap too

[gilded vale]

Sorry I usually dont believe people who say theyre gonna get expensive shit cause 9/10 times its just a kid building his dream pc and is never gonna go through with any of it

[jagged linden]

im going to do the rocker 4 8tb

[strange elk]

Ive been in crisis since I left high school

[gilded vale]

I think ive had like 5 mid life crisis' by 23 lol

[jagged linden]

i can show you pictures of what i have so far if you would like

[gilded vale]

perk of untreated adhd

[gilded vale]

that would improve your credibility for sure

[strange elk]

Mine was treated but the meds made me klepto lmao

so it was no longer treated

Also probably not just ADHD that I had

[gilded vale]

you started stealing stuff?

[strange elk]

yeah lmao

[tiny halo]

what's so special about this

[gilded vale]

ah so youre actually a baller then

[jagged linden]

x870e hero 96gb dominator titanium 6600 cl32 and noctua psu i had to import for england b/c its on backorder in the us

[gilded vale]

that PSU is so overkill but if you can afford it why not lol

[strange elk]

damn ok then

holy shit the psu lol

[jagged linden]

it was actually cheaper to import the psu then it is on amazon

[tiny halo]

noice, this is unnecessary by the way

[gilded vale]

please dont tell this guy about local LLMs guys

[jagged linden]

thats for asthetics

[gilded vale]

bros gonna come back with a 4x5090 watercooled setup

[tiny halo]

wowee, send the build when it's done

[strange elk]

I mean I dont really recommend storing all your games on gumsticks but if you can afford to I guess

[gilded vale]

as it should be fr

[jagged linden]

noctua psu is $654 on amazon rn i got the psu for $547.83 shipped from quiet pc

and then i spend $30 on a 14awg c19 at microcenter

so it still ended up being cheaper

[gilded vale]

nice deal? I guess 💀

[jagged linden]

the shipping was $92.45 and it still ended up being cheaper

[strange elk]

$600 psu fucking wild

[gilded vale]

I dont think you can brag about getting a deal on a luxury item

[vapid smelt]

not sure how the tariffs are working right now but you can make a "normal" pc with a engineering sample 7840hs https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807426301794.html? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B6hCqH

[gilded vale]

like if you said you had 10K off on a lamborgini thats not really valid lol

[winged spire]

Paying that much for a PSU is very dumb

[jagged linden]

all 5090s are like $3k retail rn

[tiny halo]

pounds?

[jagged linden]

im going to get a tuf normal or oc whichever is in stock

[strange elk]

nas firewall and gameplay 2 in 1?

[jagged linden]

usd

[tiny halo]

why TUF

nevermind

[jagged linden]

thats the only north american card heatkiller is going to make a block for

[tiny halo]

I forgot the waterblock

[gilded vale]

ok cool youll be changing the thermal paste then?

[jagged linden]

they have a block for palit/gainward but you cant get those in north america

[gilded vale]

my 4090 tuf thermal paste was terrible

[jagged linden]

thermal grizzly kryonaut extreme on cpu and hydronaut on gpu

[gilded vale]

nice

[strange elk]

@urban thistle couple good recommendations Coopa has here lol

[gilded vale]

how does the thermal grizzly duronaut compare to those?

[jagged linden]

not sure but i know hydronaut is better for direct die stuff so thats what im doing for gpu and krynaut is just great stuff and what i have on my current build so i got extreme

[gilded vale]

gotcha

yeah I think the kyronaut extreme is still the best one

[strange elk]

i 404 on this but Ill take your word. historically had issues with aliexpress

[jagged linden]

i was deciding between kpx and kryonaut and i was like i prefer roman over vince so i want thermal grizzly

[vapid smelt]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807426301794.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt how about now

[jagged linden]

and this whole rig is going to be mad quite b/c i probs could get away with a 1000 watt psu so the fan on this will like never spin

and im going to be doing push pull on 48mm rads with nf-a12x25

2x 360 rads

[kind vine]

hell yeah gigashit gaming OC $4899 SGD

only model that’s available

[jagged linden]

the tuf oc is $3000 and the non oc is $2750

the non oc is actually $10 more then the non oc astral

[tiny halo]

non oc and manual OC

[jagged linden]

im not going to oc so im just going to get which i can get

dont want that 12v2x6 melting

[kind vine]

i am not gonna spend $3k usd for a card supposed to have a 2k usd msrp

[tiny halo]

then go with ROG Astral

[jagged linden]

heatkiller is not making a block for that

[tiny halo]

Yeah

[kind vine]

the astral idy is safe

its rng of what melts and which survive

[jagged linden]

and i love the look of heatkiller blocks https://shop.watercool.de/HEATKILLER-V-ULTRA-for-RTX-5090-for-Palit-Gainward-ACRYL-Ni-Bl-aRGB_1

[tiny halo]

yeah

[jagged linden]

i need to decide though if i should go heatkiller cpu or something else

[tiny halo]

alphacool looks fine, unsure of performance https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/gpu-water-cooling/nvidia/10270-alphacool-core-geforce-rtx-5090-rog-astral-with-backplate

[jagged linden]

i am leaning towords this cpu block https://shop.watercool.de/HEATKILLER-IV-PRO-AMD-AM4-AM5-ACETAL_1

[jagged linden]

i personally dont really like the look of the full acrylic front blocks

thats why i like the heatkiller

[urban thistle]

That’s great!

[jagged linden]

i like the optimus gpu blocks aswell but i dont like that the terminals are transparant

[tiny halo]

what coolant will you have

[kind vine]

every single fucking 5090 on carousel is listed for 5k+ sgd even going as far as 7k

fkin scalpers lmao

[tiny halo]

yeeee

[jagged linden]

im not sure yet i really like that gochiller graphine coolent that ltt did a few vids with a while back

[strange elk]

There it is ye

[jagged linden]

b/c that coolent is like matte black

[kind vine]

I am not paying above 3.5k sgd for a 5090 bcs that is indeed suggested MSRP

[tiny halo]

ooh

[jagged linden]

and for tubes daniel is going to help me figure out what fittings i need to just use prebent 90 tubes so i can get some prebent nickel plated brass tubes

[tiny halo]

hardline, wow

no RGB?

[jagged linden]

rgb on the blocks the motherboard and the case and distro plate

[tiny halo]

well, will you use it

[jagged linden]

the heatkiller cpu block does not have rgb but the gpu does

[jagged linden]

probs just gonna set it to white

[tiny halo]

lol

[gilded vale]

isnt that noctua like a 1600w psu lol

[jagged linden]

mabye purple to match my keyboard

[jagged linden]

yes

[tiny halo]

or even better - black /j

[jagged linden]

lol

im going to do nf-a12x25 cromax fans for all of them

going to get 13 b/c i can do push pull and the case supports one behind the cpu socket

[tiny halo]

chromax black?

[jagged linden]

yes

[tiny halo]

nice

[jagged linden]

and its not enough fans for me to haev to buy in bulk

you need to get multiples of 36 to buy bulk from noctua and thats why i have 36 nf-a4x10 24v fans

[tiny halo]

how big rad and what case?

[gilded vale]

are you putting it in a corsair 9000D or something 💀

[jagged linden]

2x 48mm thick 360 from heatkiller case is the singularity specter 4m dark https://singularitycomputers.com/product/spectre-4-m-dark-water-cooling-case/

[gilded vale]

jesus

[tiny halo]

oh dang

[gilded vale]

and I thought $500 for the 9000D was expensive lol

[tiny halo]

you're really spending 10k on a computer

jeez

[jagged linden]

i mean its small batch "hand" made in australia

[tiny halo]

hand made on computers and manual setup of machines yes lol

[jagged linden]

yeah

[tiny halo]

man made

[jagged linden]

6061 aluminum stainless steel and acrylic

[tiny halo]

acrylic?

[jagged linden]

the distro plate

[tiny halo]

ah

[jagged linden]

the back and front are distro plates

[vapid smelt]

@winged spire Remember yesterday when i said china was at 125%? now its at 145% BB! good luck building your sat and drone

[winged spire]

Killing myself rn

[tiny halo]

the case really has RGB

[gilded vale]

plus I learned the duties are higher too

something something stuff under $800 gets charged more

[jagged linden]

Yep

I love the look of singularity’s cases

[tiny halo]

yea

[jagged linden]

And the 4m is just a slightly smaller version of the 4

So 360 rads instead of 420

ATx max support instead of eatx

[tiny halo]

e

[kind vine]

hell yeah lets keep stacking tariffs on china and fk the trade industry

[vapid smelt]

frfr

[jagged linden]

And this is going to be a great cad workhorse

[tiny halo]

what CAD software?

[kind vine]

“lets produce locally”

mf didnt account for the shit state of the american economy and the higher costs of labour compared to china

[jagged linden]

I currently use fusion but am going to be moving to solid works for school next year

[kind vine]

all for their own profit

[jagged linden]

Majoring in robotics engineering

[tiny halo]

nice

[jagged linden]

I spend all my time either 3d printing or playing games

[tiny halo]

👍

[vapid smelt]

i mean if we bring back child labor 😛

[bitter harbor]

I recently got some certification in Solidworks.

[kind vine]

YEAH YEAH

[jagged linden]

Once I move to solidworks it might be time for me to get a space mouse

I tried one once and I’m just not used to it

[vapid smelt]

then kids could afford rent when they turn 18

[shy summit]

I hear they prefer the mines

[jagged linden]

But I will need to learn what’s different so it might be worth it

[bitter harbor]

So that’s how you are supposed to already have 10 years of work experience…

[kind vine]

nah fk them kids they can only
afford when they’re 21

[vapid smelt]

yup you start at 8yr

[jagged linden]

I could get solidworks for free rn from first or mate rov but I use fusion for school rn so there is not really a point

[shy summit]

OMG the world makes sense now

[strange elk]

lmao tarriffs were raised again?

[kind vine]

too late, u start right outta the womb

gotta start the grind bro

[shy summit]

I think only on China? idk. I'm sure this is a big insider trading scheme

[bitter harbor]

Nah. Earlier

[kind vine]

starting in ur father’s balls is crazy

[urban thistle]

New receiver!

I got it for $48

[jagged linden]

Yes but also put on hold for another 90 days I think

[strange elk]

lmao

[jagged linden]

Not really sure as I can still import stuff without the price being increased

As shown by my power supply

[gilded vale]

the onion released a news article "Trump Boasts About Strong-Arming Trump Into Pausing Tariffs" lol

[jagged linden]

I genuinely feel like he is doing this to do what he did to tiktok

He was the one who started then ban and then was the one to stop it

[hot tartan]

damn what receiver? Does it support HDMI eARC?

[jagged linden]

He is going to put the tariffs then get rid of them

[kind vine]

hes doing this either to smite and challenge china or he jst racist tbh

[jagged linden]

His last term I thought he liked china and Russia

[gilded vale]

Im predicting the tiktok sale will be pushed until the next election fr lol

[jagged linden]

Now he only likes Russia

[strange elk]

Or hes just.. mentally degraded

[urban thistle]

Not e arc but my TV doesn’t support e arc either

[jagged linden]

I mean he won’t be able to run then which is good

And this is why I did not vote trump

[hot tartan]

So are you using toslink then?

[urban thistle]

Nope, HDMI

[strange elk]

Hes put tarriffs on sweden so

[jagged linden]

I still think we should let FDR finish his 4th term

[kind vine]

he likes russia but turns against china

[jagged linden]

FDR 2028

[hot tartan]

Oh XBOX into Receiver, receiver into TV?

[winged spire]

Yeah I nolonger can afford to keep manufacturing in the US

[urban thistle]

Yes

[winged spire]

Looks like I’ll have to outsource outside of America due to the tarrifs

💀

[hot tartan]

sweet, enjoy it. I love surround sound stuff

[gilded vale]

im down fr

[kind vine]

oh yea elom streamed path of exile and died in the tutorial

[gilded vale]

as he was getting spammed with hate messages and listening to Grimes (which is his ex)

[kind vine]

still funny

[gilded vale]

kinda sad actually if he wasnt such a douche

[gilded vale]

oh yeah its hilarious

[shy summit]

Very funny

[winged spire]

Coextrusion silk filament always looks so good

[kind vine]

hell yeah fkin 1.3k sgd 9070xts (msrp is 1k sgd)

[gilded vale]

damn thats almost 1K USD 😔

[kind vine]

u also need account 19% tax

[shy summit]

I'm so happy I built mine and my wife's pcs last year

[kind vine]

so 812.5 usd

[gilded vale]

oh tax is included? thats not as bad

thats def acceptable considering the real msrp in usd is really like $750

[kind vine]

im not saying 5070 is gud but that card has msrp models from zotac here

[vapid smelt]

damn flexing on us with the wife card

[shy summit]

lol

[harsh quartz]

Make it purple instead

[gilded vale]

I agree, the 5070 isnt that good but the MSRP is actually the MSRP and theyre in stock

[winged spire]

its blue and green

[harsh quartz]

Just means we have more free time

[kind vine]

best i can do waifu gpu

[harsh quartz]

…yeah, that’s why I said make it purple

[shy summit]

idk man. marreid but no kids. I kind of do whatever I want.

[shy summit]

still counts

[gilded vale]

waifu gpus are reasonably priced compared to the rest too lol

[kind vine]

i got a yeston 9070xt coming nxt week

[winged spire]

3 days until katy parry goes to space

kind low key fake space but yknow

[kind vine]

technically i got it at red devil msrp

[winged spire]

shes gonna be past the karmen line for like 15 minutes lol

[kind vine]

im gonna say gudbye to the 5070ti aero for the yeston 9070xt

[gilded vale]

the yeston sakura is priced at $870 while the 9070xt swift (which is a bare bones stock model) is $850 lol

[kind vine]

i bought the 9070xt sakura atlantis for $1173

selling my 5070ti aero for $1500 (current retail 1565)

[shy summit]

If I were building right now, the 9070xt is likely what I would go with. Since I built last year, it was the 7900xtx red devil

[kind vine]

the 5070ti is actually a good buy from nvidia here, if u go on carou you can see many idiots trynna sell their 4080 for $1500+

that is if u are a nvidia glazer

[gilded vale]

too bad 5070ti stock is not very high

[kind vine]

the only reasonably priced 4080 is at 1250 and that has no warranty

lowest i saw with warranty 1.4

[gilded vale]

you dont even need to be a glazer really

AMD pricing is back to NVIDIA - $50

[kind vine]

in singapore they surprisingly are

[gilded vale]

lucky

[kind vine]

my aero retail drop from 1629 to 1565

almost every nvidia card got a -50 sgd

except for 5090

[gilded vale]

lol

[kind vine]

if im not wrong 5070 msrp is 550/600?

zotac has models at $900 sgd

[gilded vale]

yeah its 550

[kind vine]

which is the msrp here

[gilded vale]

oof

[kind vine]

5070ti here tho is still abit far off from real MSRP

5080 is a big offender of value this generation

[gilded vale]

yeahhh

its basically the 4070ti situation of last gen

except they didnt release the 5080ti alongside it

[silver raft]

Helo I need help

[gilded vale]

they will totally release a 5080ti which will be the "real" 5080

[kind vine]

5070 Ti Eagle SFF 1405SGD (878 usd)
5080 PNY triple fan 1795 SGD (1121 USD)

[silver raft]

I somehow blew up one of my outlet extension cords and now my whole apt unit is out of electricity

Do I call an electrician tmr

It's 3am

[gilded vale]

reset the breaker

[kind vine]

realistically other brand models start at 2k sgd

[gilded vale]

if it trips instantly you probably need an electrician

[silver raft]

Did on the main hall, apartment unit still not getting electricity

Tripped all breakers

[gilded vale]

uhh that doesnt sound good

[silver raft]

Yeah, and worst part is:

The outlet is nearby the one I'm using for my pc

My PC was at idle and wasn't doing any important shit, not even downloading anything

[gilded vale]

howd you blow it up

[silver raft]

Would that still hurt the PC in the power surge doe

[gilded vale]

possibly

[silver raft]

Outlet extension dropped

Big bang

[gilded vale]

if its connected to the outlet without even a surge strip

maybe you should call your apartment maintenance

[tiny halo]

bonk‫ was this message

[gilded vale]

if you really didnt do anything to cause it to break it sounds like they messed up the wiring

[silver raft]

It was a manual fault

[gilded vale]

wtf howd you do that

[silver raft]

But idk if it would hurt my PC is the question

[gilded vale]

its possible

[silver raft]

Let's hope it isnt

[gilded vale]

especially if you have a cheap psu

[silver raft]

I just upgraded my PC bruh

[kind vine]

pov that thigh cramp in the middle of the night

[silver raft]

Thermaltake 850w gold good enough?

[kind vine]

I have known this one guy irl for 4 days and I still dont know his name LOL

[gilded vale]

its not the worst psu by far

should be ok but really we dont know until you test the pc when the power goes back on

[gilded vale]

bruh ive known people for months and dont know their names

[kind vine]

msi bomber wifi burst bomb

[silver raft]

With reputable sources I can say this;

I fucking killed my tripbox

[kind vine]

u kena thigh cramp then u not happy u go kick ur tripbox ah

[silver raft]

My PC was on idle, PS5 was on idle, GAHD DAMN this is gonna suck

[kind vine]

/j btw

[gilded vale]

so you messed the electric up?

[silver raft]

It's my wrongdoing and yet not my fault

Not like I spilled a holy concoction on a plug

Outlet extension dropped down from a counter and everything went on a big bang

[kind vine]

so ur not that onr guy in chemistry class doing stupid shi

[tiny halo]

car‫ cat¨=

[gilded vale]

sounds like maybe the connections on the outlet were loose and the drop made them pop out and short on something?

[silver raft]

Basically that's what it is

[gilded vale]

either way you should have some circuits be live

unless the entire apartment is on one circuit breaker

[silver raft]

Aaaaand they're not live

The outlet extension burnt on the inside

But the outlet is clean

This is the culprit 💔

It smoked after tripping everything to zero

[gilded vale]

ngl that doesnt look like the highest quality

[silver raft]

It's not supposed to be, only uses two things

[gilded vale]

carbon fiber extension 💀

[kind vine]

bro does that thing smoke cigs and vape

[silver raft]

A fan and a phone charger

[silver raft]

More like a forgotten middle child

[gilded vale]

usually if a product has fake carbon fiber texture its a red flag 💀

[silver raft]

Well it survived 1.5 years, with no yoinking for ever..

[gilded vale]

until it didnt and apparently bricked your entire apartment

[silver raft]

I'm baffled and most likely going to lose my shit if this outlet is the reason my PC dies

[gilded vale]

your pc is probably fine

at worst the psu is dead

[silver raft]

It can't really die tbh,

At least that's how I know with these European plugs

[gilded vale]

you should get a UPS

[gilded vale]

they arent even that expensive tbh

especially if you dont need it to run the pc for 5 minutes under full load

[silver raft]

Used my allowance on the R5 9600x, Msi b650m gaming plus and 32gb ram

[stray arrow]

you, my king
spent your money well

[silver raft]

My PC was idle tho, it can't possibly die THAT fast

[gilded vale]

its not that your pc was idle its about if your psu got a surge

[silver raft]

Atp morning will tell

[gilded vale]

anyway your next purchase should be a $80 UPS

make sure its pure sine wave

trust me the relief when updating bios is worth it

[stray arrow]

ye, i got pure sine wave ups and it's totally worth it

[kind vine]

I have a 1000w unit and my pc takes like 644w max assume I OC cpu gpu

[gilded vale]

no way your pc takes 644w bruh

[kind vine]

ready for 5090 fr

[gilded vale]

wtf

oh I thought you were north nvm

[kind vine]

Only if I run everything max and OC the 9800x3d to 140w and 5070ti to 350w

[gilded vale]

he has a 9600x so 600w+ is highly unl;ikely

my PC used to pull back like 1kw at full load lol

4090 + 13900K 😭

[kind vine]

bruh

[gilded vale]

(this is accounting for post psu power )

so like 10% more power cause its a gold psu

[stray arrow]

was there a short circuit?
i had a power extension that did short circuit and it even affected the circuitry of the house
my fridge and two ceiling fan died

[silver raft]

My problem is close to a short circuit, yes

Outlet extension died as it fell to the floor and took everything around it with itself

A big bang if you will

[kind vine]

i got a 1000w LL edge platinum unit

[silver raft]

Went down to open the main circuit breaker, went back to open apartment breakers and nothing works

[stray arrow]

ye, make sure no wiring in the house melted and got stuck together

[kind vine]

unless I get a 40/5090 idt im gonna be touching the full 1000w

[stray arrow]

my house is very old, so it was a possibility for me

[silver raft]

The only thing that smelled burnt is my outlet extender

Other than that no bueno on circuits

[stray arrow]

good then

[full fossil]

similar event just killed my mobo walked to the store and replaced it but like damn

[gilded vale]

I used to have a 1200w platnium unit but it wasnt atx 3.0

I found a 1200w NZXT unit on marketplace for $80 though so I got that since its a great deal

[silver raft]

Fuck

I hope I can get everything sorted out tmr

No stress, still got warranty..

Still got warranty.

[gilded vale]

at this point stop worrying about it cause its not gonna help

[gilded vale]

warranty doesnt cover customer induced damage

[silver raft]

How would they know power surge is customer induced

[gilded vale]

I mean you can lie about it sure and see if they accept it

this is not legal advice

[kind vine]

I see that the C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 at $233 here

[silver raft]

They have to take it 💔

Ok time to sleep

[gilded vale]

yeah theyre pretty pricey

[silver raft]

Gn

[kind vine]

SGD*
I got my LL plat unit at $250

[gilded vale]

I actually dont really like the nzxt unit cause it has coil whine at low loads

[full fossil]

acting like this isnt half of warranties

embed fail 😔

[stray arrow]

there was a time when i messed up the grounding for my work bench
and i was always having static electricity on me, i would zap everyone
it was good that i didn't damage any electronics

[kind vine]

either it works or it doesnt

[gilded vale]

professionalism fr

[full fossil]

brb i gotta charge at my desk

[kind vine]

u pro

[full fossil]

how many volts

[stray arrow]

like 4volt

[kind vine]

more than 1

[full fossil]

left over on him yeah

shouldve been 6 so anytime you shock someone its the same as them licking a 6 volt battery

[stray arrow]

that sounds like a better idea

i was not dating anyone at that time
so, it would be electrifying kiss

[silver raft]

Oh right before I sleep

[jagged linden]

I saw somone returning a gigabyte 5090 to microcenter today

[stray arrow]

i dont blame them

[silver raft]

@gilded vale my other power outlet has built in surge protection

[full fossil]

dude coulda sold that on marketplace for twice the price at that point

[silver raft]

So that should be fine?

[kind vine]

I can buy a gigashit gaming 5090

but that’d take half my bank acc

[gilded vale]

stop worrying bruh

[full fossil]

we arent in the depths of the gpu shitconomy yet but its getting there again

[silver raft]

Aight

[gilded vale]

ehhhh thats debatable

[silver raft]

Just making sure

[gilded vale]

its pretty damn bad rn

[stray arrow]

Id never buy a 3090, 4090 or 5090

[gilded vale]

it was worse at 50 series launch

[full fossil]

u havent seen nothin yet baby

add the trump tax and you have a 1500 dollar gpu

[kind vine]

same, but I sure as hell would buy a 6090 for funi number

[gilded vale]

guess how much I sold my 4090 after the 50 series launch

[kind vine]

more than $1

[full fossil]

750

[vapid smelt]

2000

[stray arrow]

i wouldn't buy that either
cuz I'm broke, homie

[full fossil]

i refuse to believe you got over a grand

[kind vine]

im gonna cop the 6090 unless the price is x1.5 and above the suggested MSRP

[gilded vale]

I sold it for 2.6K but it was 2.2K after ebay fees and insurance costs

[polar fern]

Watching the latest AMD upgrade video & noticed the wraith spire cooler. 😎

[full fossil]

mannn

[gilded vale]

a tuf model lol so nothing even that good

[full fossil]

750 bucks sounds fine to me

[stray arrow]

tarrif will ruin the price

[kind vine]

the tuf isnt so tough tbh

[kind vine]

senator im singaporean

[full fossil]

damn communists

[polar fern]

Tariff roulette with the orange globular

[full fossil]

[stray arrow]

where do they make gpu? i know that chip is mostly made in taiwan

[polar fern]

Tsmc Taiwan

[gilded vale]

no tariffs on the chips at least (yet...)

[stray arrow]

all of it in taiwan?

[kind vine]

for 6090 if the msrp for example is 2000 usd and the thing is 3000 usd after currency exchange and taxes (which is x1.5) i sure as hell not gonna buy it

[gilded vale]

I imagine the cooler for the gpu is from china along with the pcb

[stray arrow]

i can buy a car for 3000 usd

[gilded vale]

memory is probably in taiwan or not in china

[kind vine]

i can buy a car for 200k sgd

[polar fern]

Some are Taiwan, some are China
