good enough for a pc 2 monitors and a fan?

[surreal wraith]

Whatever happened to John? Heavier set guy with the longer hair. I liked Him.

[alpine gale]

Pretty much. So long as the cable's length is rated for the same amps the wall socket it's plugged into can deliver... you're good. usually.

[surreal wraith]

In LTT videos.

[alpine gale]

Last I recall, they were still script writing behind the scenes, but that was quite some time ago.

[blazing beacon]

as for the AC yea it sucks but ima be real

that unit was a fucking vampire

electic bills of 500+

also repairs as the thing it a bitch

also while its not a big deal as it was only 20 bucks the charger for the rechargeable batteries for my xbox controller i dont even use often also crapped out

[oak pier]

if it can run on a 15amp circuit, it can run on a 15amp rated cable extension plugged into that circuit

[blazing beacon]

uh use speech i can understand

[oak pier]

you in the US?

[blazing beacon]

son of a bitch i lost hours of save progress FFS old games and not having auto saves

[blazing beacon]

yes

[oak pier]

if it looks like this it’s a 15 amp circuit

[alpine gale]

If you visit a hardware store and tell them what you need, they will likely know what to recommend.

[oak pier]

you should then look for a cable that states 15amp 120v

[surreal wraith]

I would do the tiniest bit of research so they don't talk you into crap you don't need.

[blazing beacon]

i see i do have one of those im just not sure what its rated as and its older

[oak pier]

most cables are going to be rated for 12amp or less, which isn’t what you want

[blazing beacon]

because lol lets just say the power in my house is completely messed up beyond what can be fixed

[oak pier]

you should go out and purchase a cable specifically rated for 15amp

[blazing beacon]

15 or 16?

[surreal wraith]

Even if you just know the lingo, they won't look at you as someone they could easily oversell.

[blazing beacon]

what all should i get so i can have it fit both the PC 2 monitors and a fan

[alpine gale]

https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-25-ft-14-3-Extension-Cord-360728-6ES/316604657

[wary iron]

hi

[blazing beacon]

how would i hook up 4 devices to that?

also would that be enough to do 4 devices and whats the main diffrence with them

[alpine gale]

Get something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/GoGreen-Power-50-ft-14-3-SJTW-Outdoor-Extension-Cord-Orange-with-Lighted-Green-End-GG-13850/205667862
Then attach something like this to the end: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-5-Outlet-Extension-Cord-Hub-360696-4DT6ES/309215109

[blazing beacon]

could that handle all 4 of those thigns

2 monitor a PC with a 3070 and a i think 57watt fan granted i run it on low as i keep it close enough

[alpine gale]

Impossible to answer without knowing how many watts the devices pull. If they pull less than 1500w constant load / 1800w peak / spiked load, and the outlet you plug the extension cord into isn't literally hot garbage, then yes.

[blazing beacon]

i dont know as well

the fan is a fan

[oak pier]

that setup would have the same capacity as the wall outlet

[alpine gale]

Remember that an "800w" power supply doesn't constantly draw 800w from the wall - it can supply up to 800w, but will only draw what your computer needs. It's unlikely that someone's consumer grade PC, 2 monitors (made in the last 5-10 years), and a small-ish fan, a couple lights, etc. would overload a standard circuit, but not impossible.

[blazing beacon]

my hardware isnt the newest stuff

[oak pier]

That means next to nothing

[blazing beacon]

3070 and i think a 10700f

[oak pier]

older hardware while less performant tends to consume more power for a given unit of computation, so overall power draw has remained quite inconsistent

Plug in your pc specs into pcpartpicker, and it should give you can estimated max power draw

add up both pcs, as well as the advertised max power draw of the monitors, then add a bit for margin of error

[blazing beacon]

isnt pc part picker not good

[calm swan]

it's pretty good

for some countries

[blazing beacon]

oh nvm not pc partpicker i thought he meant that one benchmarking software

[blazing beacon]

not possible its a prebuilt

with uh custom stuff because alienware there is a story behind that it was NOT my first choice for a 30 series card

[calm swan]

hwinfo should list specs anyways

just use whatever the closest is

[blazing beacon]

i dont know its a alienware r11

as for the monitors i dont honestly remember the models ones a brand i bought off amazon and the other is an LG

[dense tundra]

yooo does anybody know if theres a fix for a 7800x3D frame stuttering issue

[surreal wraith]

I would check your AMD drivers. Also make sure your GPU is up-to-date.

[oak pier]

non-specific given that is a customizable prebuilt

[blazing beacon]

i mean it has a 3070 nividia 10700f intel 32gb duel ram 2tb HDD and 2 diffrent 1 TB ssds 1 being a sata and one being a NVME

killer wifi card and not sure what power supply

[karmic wedge]

oh my god that is pathetic

IT'S NOT HERE UNTIL OCTOBER

[oak pier]

ok?

not like anyone should be buying a 5050 anyways

[karmic wedge]

[sharp notch]

how do i cooldown my blower gpu? like its so different to my previous GPU

my case is cool af but my gpu be on 87% ingame

like if i add extra fans (still have 4 fan slots) will it matter

[alpine gale]

87% is fine? Unless you don't want to use 100% of your GPU...

[narrow sage]

I paid for the whole GPU so I’m gonna use the whole GPU

[sharp notch]

eh i mean my temp

[dusky forum]

So 87 degrees C?

[sharp notch]

yes

[dusky forum]

Yes

Also turn on ur air con

[sharp notch]

how much temp does it usually decrees?

[dusky forum]

Also depends on ur room temp

[sharp notch]

ac is on 20

but barely ever hits 20 tbh

[dusky forum]

Then more fans would make a large difference

[sharp notch]

2 intake 2 outtake?

[dusky forum]

Is that ur current?

[sharp notch]

my current is 3 fans but side and behind

theres 4 slots on the top

[torpid crest]

Yeah it's that bad here

[sharp notch]

wait lemme take a pic then u judge @dusky forum

[torpid crest]

I just hope it performs as better as the one you sent me!

[dusky forum]

Also what GPU is it

[sharp notch]

RTX 3080 Gigabyte Turbo OC

[sand root]

Good morning everyone. I have a problem to troubleshoot which would cross multiple channels, where do you think I should ask the question?

I'm playing games by local (LAN) streaming from my gaming pc to my macbook pro m3 connected to a TV via HDMI 2.1 (sunshine/Apollo + Moonlight). All my gear (new) are Ubiquiti and I see that there are a ton of frame drops when the macbook is connected to the ubiquiti switch.

Where should I place the question? #networking or #gaming or maybe another channel? (the question is much longer and detailed :D)
Or maybe it's even better if I post on the forum?

[mild otter]

Hi!

[dusky forum]

Top is for exhaust

[dense tundra]

check the amd adrenalin and nivida app it's all up to date but there's still stuttering

[little nexus]

does anyone know a ungodly amount about unreal 5 ??????

[oak pier]

https://dontasktoask.com

[alpine gale]

How much is considered an "ungodly" amount?

[winter tree]

Did ubisoft actually say microtransations makes games more fun?

[alpine gale]

They claim this, but what Ubisoft has yet to figure out is that fun is subjective. Microtransactions can make games more for for those who value their benefits, otherwise they can suck the life from games. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ubisoft-claims-its-microtransactions-make-games-more-fun/1100-6533346/

[winter tree]

Im starting to think they're doing this just to ragebait

Bc there ain't no way pay to win is fun

[alpine gale]

Who knows. They're criminals in my eyes. I wasn't finished playing The Crew's single player campaign before they stole it from me. (Didn't give a crap about the always-connected online functionality.)

[winter tree]

Wdym by stole?

U cant play the game anymore?

[alpine gale]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/241560/discussions/0/4040355933295898190/

[winter tree]

Question is, why?i mean for online servers yeah thats valid but taking away the game u bought is insane

[alpine gale]

Correct. Due to how Ubisoft deliberately designed the game, you can't even play it in single-player mode because there's "no offline mode" built-into the game. When they shutdown the servers, everything stopped working.

[alpine gale]

Insane? Maybe not. Illegal? Depends on your local laws. Immoral? ABOSOLUTELY. But until laws change, this is the world we live in. You will own nothing and be happy. https://www.stopkillinggames.com/

[winter tree]

Yeah i heard about that

But my point is, do we even own our games anymore?

[winter tree]

But they did reach the required amount of signatures

[alpine gale]

Technically, we never owned the games themselves, but the days of owning a perpetual license to a piece of software in its as-sold state / form are [largely] long gone. 😦

[winter tree]

Were cooked bro, imagine losing the money u paid for a game only to realize u cant play it anymore

Corporate greed is insane

hu

[latent atlas]

Yo

Can someone rate my build 1-10?

Case: 4000DRS
PSU: RM850W 80+ Gold
CPU: i7-14700K
AIO: Corsair Nautilus 240
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 5060 AERO OC 8GB GDDR7 ( I personally don’t need 16gb vram)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 Eagle AX
RAM: 64GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance cl32 RGB SL 6000MHz (2 kits, each stick is 16GB)
Storage: 2x NVMe M.2 SSDs each 2tb

I tried the same cpu, aio, on my old HP omen prebuilt after the f.20 bios and it refused to post yet the h770 chipset on that board and the updated bios supported it straight from hp

[kind vine]

if its for like video editing or smth sure

[latent atlas]

And if not? Lol

[kind vine]

if its for gaming it belongs in the dumpster

[viscid elm]

5060

Also REALLY REALLY hope you updated the bios

[latent atlas]

It’s a brand new board I just ordered it haven’t done anything yet

[latent atlas]

Why?

[viscid elm]

Should have a good bios but there do many "fixed" bioses

I do wonder, what was the old GPU

[latent atlas]

I had the bios updated on my old board which was a oem HP ARCTICL
it was on F.20 newest bios Rev and the i7-14700K refused to post, yet HP confirming the board supports it, same with wattage, and a new bios

[latent atlas]

2060 6gb

Power hungry mf

165w for what

Ngl I think the VRM on the OEM board hated the i7 lmao

[viscid elm]

I know HP is bad but not this bad

[kind vine]

that cpu, mobo and ram budget just to be with a 5060

[viscid elm]

Also 14700k and 2060

Hp does not do that and never has

[latent atlas]

It used to be paired with a I3-13100f

[viscid elm]

What was the point of that new cpu then

[latent atlas]

I went to i3-13100f, 1660 super ( stock prebuilt)
2060,
4060,
5060 aero
I3-13100F
I5-13400F
I7-14700K

[latent atlas]

Because I got a z790 Mobo so I can use the full power of a unlocked cpu not bounded by the OEM board limits with the heavy restricted locked bios

[latent atlas]

The 5060 aero from gigabyte isn’t that terrible, I guarantee your judging it off the vram which I don’t need/use 12-16gb for now so I don’t feel like upgrading atm I will tho

[latent atlas]

Keep in mind to the GPU I had before the 4060 was a PNY Xclerate 8GB from Best Buy

[viscid elm]

What

[kind vine]

literally approaching 9060xt 16gb price

[viscid elm]

So you did not upgrade the gpu

[kind vine]

wait nvm

the AERO is the same price as the 9060xt reaper here

[viscid elm]

4060 to 5060 is insane

[latent atlas]

No I did I’m on 5060 aero

[viscid elm]

Pain

[kind vine]

another $10 for a 9060xt white reaper

idk ur prices but it shld be similar

[viscid elm]

You do know the performance difference is so tiny to the point its just dumb to not save up a few more cents for a 9060 XT

The 5060 is such a joke of a card

[viscid elm]

What are you even doing that needs this much cpu

[latent atlas]

Holy airball

[kind vine]

hellhound spectral white 9060XT here is another $58 sgd

[latent atlas]

I can’t use attachments 🙏🏼

[viscid elm]

Most modern games will be GPU limited

[kind vine]

the aero is overpriced in itself, with the fact its only a 5060? its approaching the next tier gpus

infact aero pricing will make it approach the next tier

[latent atlas]

I only paid 330 not the $500-550

[kind vine]

its in singapore dollars

not freedom money

[latent atlas]

Wild statement

[viscid elm]

This whole upgrade list makes no sense

[latent atlas]

It’s not a pain lmao I’m using GDDR7 instead of 6, higher core count, higher cuda cores.

[viscid elm]

For a massive like 10% gain or something

It also uses more power

[latent atlas]

How? I typed out every component that’s been in there that’s been upgraded the i3 + 1660 super was on the prebuilt

[civic fox]

totally offtopic, buuut i turned of HT on that i5 we were talking about awhile back, and man that made it much much faster.

[viscid elm]

Yay I'm not the only one

[latent atlas]

Not really, gigabytes model and gpu build has a TDP of 115W

[viscid elm]

I3 13100f yeah

[civic fox]

its quite crazy how much of a perf boost that made.

[viscid elm]

You can throw a 4090 at that cpu and not have issues in some games

I3 13100f

[viscid elm]

Ikr, there is a reason core ultra does not have HT

[civic fox]

i had that same i3 for awhile paired with a 1650, and a 1080ti, upgraded to a 12700KF and a 3070

[viscid elm]

Here see that is how you upgrade

[latent atlas]

I’m not pairing a i3-13100F on a 4090. The bottleneck would be wild in real use case + lower cores lower boost ghz

[civic fox]

they dont??? thats wild. HT seems to make a huge difference, at least with mobile cpus.

[viscid elm]

Well yes a massive difference in a bad way

[civic fox]

really? how so.

[viscid elm]

Did you not turn off HT?

[civic fox]

i did turn it off yes.

[viscid elm]

And it felt way better

[civic fox]

very much so

[latent atlas]

• up until right now I was running all of the other pc parts on the oem motherboard

[viscid elm]

Well there is the reason

[civic fox]

i assume it affects something important?

[viscid elm]

Right now you have on the best Intel CPUs for gaming aka you can throw a 5099 at that pc without issues and you are ofc running a 5060 with it

[latent atlas]

So I got a new better motherboard to use the full power of what I paid for in the cpu

[viscid elm]

You were not even using 50% of the performance the cpu have out

[sinful solar]

yall my keyboards right arrow is red and none of the other lights are on. any of yall know what this is

[latent atlas]

Wdym ofc why do you dog on the 5060 so much

[civic fox]

charge your keyboard.

[echo nymph]

Guys should I get a steam deck or mini pc?

[latent atlas]

It’s better then my last card better then the 2060 I had + lower TDP

[civic fox]

im not joking either, my keyboard does this. when its dead

[sinful solar]

its wired

[civic fox]

oh, well then idk.

[sinful solar]

i did just get some water on it. i dont wanna sound like an idiot but im guessing thats the issue

[echo nymph]

Top tier discord mod

[latent atlas]

Rice.

[sinful solar]

is that actually a thing that works

[latent atlas]

Rice. Do it

[sinful solar]

this keyboard is huge i dont even own enough rice

[civic fox]

yes it does work

[sinful solar]

do i just dump rice on this cuase i dont have a bag big enough for this

[civic fox]

rice likes liquid.

[viscid elm]

Hyper Threading is just kinda adding a extra shitter core or something to each main core and was really really good when we only had like dual core and single core CPUs and such, while now a days it just uses more power and lowers the clock speed at least on Intel, most overclockers disable it on Intel.

[latent atlas]

Rice orrrr take every key off wipe it down and blast it with air

[sinful solar]

good idea ill go tear all this off

ill come back with the results later

[viscid elm]

Since you paired it with a 14700k

[sinful solar]

pray my house doesnt burn down

[civic fox]

ohhhh that is some neat information, now should i turn it off on my 12700KF then too?

[viscid elm]

Also you can like get a used 3080 for the price of it

[latent atlas]

Ok? So why dog the gpu

[latent atlas]

Lmao

[sinful solar]

im jsut saying this red arrow shouldnt be so ominous

anyways yall have a great night or day bye

[latent atlas]

It’s red

[latent atlas]

It’s supposed to be

[viscid elm]

Eh not a massive difference, not tried it on desktop Intel, just laptops only got so much power they can give to the cpu and HT uses a lot of it that could be used for better performance while in desktop there is no real power bottleneck.

[viscid elm]

Price of a used 3080 ti some times

[latent atlas]

Also rtx 3080 tdp is 320W

[viscid elm]

You have a 14700k

You really do not care about power

[civic fox]

ah thats fair, i will leave it on then. laptops make sense power wise.

[viscid elm]

I used the difference of 4060 v 5060 due to that being a major scaling factor in the 5060s small performance gain over last gen

[civic fox]

well this is awesome.

i did my RT testing for results etc, and i can confirm that RT does not perform well at 8gb of vram at 1080p or above. now this 3070 is gonna get modded to 16gb so that will change sooner or later.

[lavish laurel]

Are headphones on ltt labs yet?

[sinful solar]

Just took all the keys of my keyboard. Y'all think I can just turn a blow dryer on high and fix my water problem

[keen mural]

well that escalated

[sinful solar]

Aye how long should I blast it with air for on your recommendation

[civic fox]

they left the server

So im planning on changing my phone and laptop. I want to change to an apple phone and use a windows os in my laptop Could it be compatible?

I wonder if there's a mod to give a 3080ti 24gb of memory

Actually seeing as how it'd be cheaper to buy a used 3090.. damn

Its amazing just how fast prices fall on the used market

[timid storm]

are they? In my region, in Scandinavia, used 3090s are going for like 650-700 USD Starting price

[elfin jetty]

Goddam, im seeing them in the US for like 400-500 on ebay

Some even lower

[timid storm]

wow

[elfin jetty]

I mean i got my 3080ti for 500 bucks a few years ago used, best decision ive made and I'll probs only be buying used from now on

(But even though it was used it came in basically brand new and not even a little dusty)

[viscid elm]

yes

[elfin jetty]

[viscid elm]

you just replace the vram chips with the same but 2x the size

[elfin jetty]

From what ive read it isnt that simple unfortunately :(

Plus id need the experience to do so

[viscid elm]

and the tools

i never said it was easy just possible

[kind vine]

there is but it requires skill and knowledge

[elfin jetty]

Yehh id have to practice on some dead push i have laying around, but I need to buy a hot air gun

it's been like forever

[elfin jetty]

Good. Fuck em for doing stupid things.

[pearl knoll]

why change it now

[elfin jetty]

Cause they need to justify being paid

And instead of actually making improvements they decide to mess around with the UI

[pearl knoll]

are they still testing it?

it overlaps some of the old stuff that they didn't hide for some reason

Man I hate google

[elfin jetty]

Could be certain people getting the new UI. Google/YouTube tend to do that.

[pearl knoll]

depending on what?

I had it couple of hours ago but now it's gone

[elfin jetty]

Idk, its just what they do

[pearl knoll]

is it a testing phase like?

Randomised A/B testing. Could be that they pulled the plug on the test, or the test finished, or it had problems, or you are just hitting servers that can't push the test to you now. A/B testing happens all the time

hi peeps

[shy patio]

How does LTT get that thick nice line in the category names? 🙂

[untold loom]

Well, that is some kind of screen...

About "retina" at... 30 feet away.

21% more pixels than 720p.

[vestal sentinel]

as someone who is studying live events in college rn, thats a pretty basic wall install

just built a similar one from when we hosted a esports event on campus

[untold loom]

I'm always impressed by the wall setups Apple Store's use. So little of the screen is lit, but at a distance, they look really good.

[vestal sentinel]

they are suprisingly fun to work with

where it gets fun is the engineering side of the walls

you would be suprised how much IT work happens in the live events space

[untold loom]

Apple’s screens are way higher resolution, and might be closer to MicroLED?

[vestal sentinel]

probably

its likely closer to a real tv with a low pixel pitch then the walls used in live events

the panels that linus was playing with is more similar to a billboard seen on the highway

[untold loom]

Certainly way cheaper. I liked this failed macro shot I tried to take of Apple’s

[vestal sentinel]

definately

apples displays are meant to not look like crap when you are close up to it like you would be in a store

the LED pannels used in concerts are meant to be seen 100 ft away

[untold loom]

Yeah, right sized pixels for the viewing distance.

[vestal sentinel]

exactly

[vestal sentinel]

i stand corrected, the ones we were building are slightly smaller then the wall linus was working with

oh crap ive worked with this exact setup!

we had a wrestling company on campus earlier this year and part of that setup included building extra LED walls

[untold loom]

For the most part the technology is now dense and bright enough, so I expect that manufactures will need to start competing on price (I suppose weight and speed of setup too)

[vestal sentinel]

for the nieche that it serves, the LED wall market isnt going to change much

the people buying them are the kind of people that just write it off at the end of the year

[untold loom]

True

[vestal sentinel]

its not the average joe shmoe buying them which is where actual competition comes in

also they are reusable

you dont buy whole new sets of pannels when a new tour happens

you rent them out for your event then hire a bunch of guys for $19 an hour to install it in a couple days

the pannels that taylor swift uses for a tour this year likely would get used for a metallica concert the next

[forest wedge]

Aye i5 10-400 or i7-8700

Its for gaming,

later i added a 1050ti

[sly mirage]

Dang, I sold a computer just like that for an equivalent price just a few days ago, that would have been crazy if it was the same one

[viscid elm]

have you sent it

magnus

the chap i bought that pc off still has not sent it

[sly mirage]

Wasn't me

[untold loom]

It feels like AM5 is is pretty reasonalbe for a cheap build now. DDR4 is not getting cheaper

[sly mirage]

I send mine out in a, well sooner or later

[viscid elm]

ddr4 is no longer being made

[untold loom]

Right

[viscid elm]

but 40$ or so for 32GB is nice

but yea no, nobody should be buying anything new ddr4

[sly mirage]

I just got DDR 4 from microcenter last week, they weren't all so cheap

[untold loom]

I was looking at what a cheap AM5 system would look like, and I see no value for AM4, excerpt in the used market:

[viscid elm]

8600g??

also that is 1k

i have seen people on here asking for a new 500$ build

[vestal sentinel]

you could probably get a deal with a cpu mobo bundle from microcenter but it would end up being around that

[sly mirage]

I wouldn't call that cheap

[forest wedge]

Thats the gpu? I need a good gpu in slightly above price range than the cpu

Or i mean just tell me a gpu that matches the cpu

[wispy dragon]

Hello my fellow humans

[untold loom]

More, "sweet spot" than cheap.

[sly mirage]

Who says we're humans

[wispy dragon]

Uhhhhh

[sly mirage]

Fair enough

[vestal sentinel]

technically you could subtract the gpu and use the graphics cores on the cpu

[untold loom]

Yup

[viscid elm]

nope cpu again

[mystic tundra]

get a 7400f or 7500f and a dgpu instead of 8600g

[viscid elm]

5090

[untold loom]

dGPUs all cost too much

[viscid elm]

b580

[mystic tundra]

also why you're getting those crucial sticks?

[untold loom]

And I personally value motherboard graphics

[viscid elm]

now that ram is horrid

[mystic tundra]

7600/x

[forest wedge]

Wait how tf

Why is it so cheap

[viscid elm]

250$ for a 7600X and decent b650 wit h600MT ram is nice

[viscid elm]

yea no, ya need a budget

[forest wedge]

I have not been in pc building in years iam pretty sure when my interest from this area was shifting to programming this shit was the newest shit

[viscid elm]

but with a used pc its hard to hard rec stuff but i would imagine a 5 3600 and 57000 xt pc should be about 500 or under

[untold loom]

Used opens up a huge sea of options

[viscid elm]

well yea

i can make a BALLER pc for about 300-250

5 3600 and 6600

[forest wedge]

Nvm its not cheap

Bad website

[viscid elm]

5090 is the most spensive "consumer" gpu out there

[forest wedge]

So what gpu would be good with that cpu

[sly mirage]

Do you care what brand?

[viscid elm]

brand

[viscid elm]

rx 6600

[compact trout]

i am actually glad i bought a 7800x3d + b650 + 32gb ram for $499

cuz holy thats expensive for what you get

[sly mirage]

Some people I know will only ever get a nividia GPU no matter how much I beg them not to

[viscid elm]

300$ cpu with a eh like 120$ board and 80$ ram

[viscid elm]

im not sure TI even knows about different companies in the GPU market

he should get a moorethreads card

[compact trout]

this seems more reasonable than what you sent

[viscid elm]

QLC SSD 🤮

[sly mirage]

Fair, yet I still know a guy who knows nothing about gpus and he just wants nividia because popular people use it

[compact trout]

this is just one preconfigured one pcpartpicker has

[mystic tundra]

ud90 part swappage

rugpull

[viscid elm]

also again 80$ psu

i think that case only comes with 2 fans

[compact trout]

case psu and ssd need to be swapped

[viscid elm]

i would also go for the id cooling a620 and save another 8$

[compact trout]

but its a much better system than what he sent

[calm swan]

or just like
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p2jd74

7500f from aliex and 3080 from ebay

[viscid elm]

yus

[calm swan]

good psu case ssd as well

[vestal sentinel]

heres my "attempt"

[compact trout]

fanxiang ssd are good?

[calm swan]

that psu

[viscid elm]

bomb

[compact trout]

ive heard of them but never tried it

[vestal sentinel]

itll only expload a little bit

[sharp notch]

guys is there a cooler for my RTX 3080 Gigabyte Turbo?

[untold loom]

Sure, if I was to get a dGPU, it makes more sense to get a cheaper CPU with minimal graphics.

I have serious doubts that most people would care about the distinction between 5600 a 6000 memory 😛

The rest of the differences feel pretty subjective 🙂

[calm swan]

they're fine
https://www.servethehome.com/fanxiang-s880-2tb-pcie-gen4-nvme-ssd-review-with-ymtc-232l-nand/2/

https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/fanxiang-s880-1-tb.d1589

same (or similar) hardware as other dramless drives like vp4300 lite and old us75

[compact trout]

well not in the market for a ssd rn but maybe in the future xd

[vestal sentinel]

no dram 💀

[mystic tundra]

and

hmb exists

[vestal sentinel]

d ram is what makes an ssd fast

[mystic tundra]

not exactly

you can have very slow dram ssds

[viscid elm]

cheapest am5 pc i could ever consider https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MpVkZc

[mystic tundra]

and it still wouldn't matter for most people

[supple pawn]

Why go 8000 over 7000 or 9000 series?

[viscid elm]

i would take a dramless pcie 5.0 ssd over one with a MASSIVE dram but on pcie 3

[untold loom]

If one isn't getting a dGPU, I would just consider the laptop parts in mini PCs

[viscid elm]

cheap and usable igpu

[supple pawn]

Igpu? You're doing it wrong lol

[viscid elm]

what

[supple pawn]

Idk, I'm just bored lol

[viscid elm]

you make a cheaper am5 pc with a gpu then i dono

[calm swan]

^ 780m/880m mini pcs are cheap

[supple pawn]

Just get a legion go

[calm swan]

or like a mac mini

[supple pawn]

Plug it via thunderbolt to display

[viscid elm]

why thunderbolt

[untold loom]

Well, USB DP

[viscid elm]

why not just DP

[untold loom]

Most Thunderbolt ports are just doing USB DP

[supple pawn]

Yes

[untold solar]

hi

[calm swan]

16gb ram legion go isn't amazing either and i'm not sure if they offer a 32gb ram variant

[untold loom]

I like to see more "low-end" Strix Halo make it into more Mini PCs

[sly mirage]

Hello there

[supple pawn]

Yes, in the Legion Go S

https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/handheld/legion-go-s/len106g0002

Only has z2 go processor rather than extreme tho. I expect that the next mainline go (non S) will have 32gb ram and z2 extreme?

[civic fox]

i would not be surprised if that was a thing honestly. but 3090s are getting cheap these days.

[forest wedge]

Not really but preferably amd

Rx 590 with R5 3600

Good combo?

Vs
2600 with rx 5500

[viscid elm]

i think the 590 somehow is better

[calm swan]

there should be a z1e version

z2 go is iirc 4c zen3+ with 680M

[flat turret]

Hey

[supple pawn]

Not yet, not with 32gb ram, I don't think. Good news is if you can deal with 16gb its cheap

[untold loom]

Apple needs to hurry up and get off of 3nm so AMD can move from 4 to 3 🙂

[forest wedge]

Rx 590 and ryzen 5 3600

Psu watts?

550?

[supple pawn]

225w for 590, 65w for 3600 I think

[untold loom]

Was the 590 worth it much over the 580?

[supple pawn]

I mean probably not? Depends on what you're doing with it. Both are cheap at this point.

Why spam mods? Lol

Why go with such an outdated GPU? Budget constraints?

[hybrid echo]

for 20 bucks ore you could get a 2tb one instade of that 1tb

and for like 250 more you could get a 3060 12 gig

which would be a real machine by then

[untold loom]

An 880m iGPU must be pretty close to a rx590, depending on the system? (new is still expensive, though. Also way less power)

[supple pawn]

Probably not?

It can probably be faster than an Rx 580 (the gutted 2048sp version). The full fat 580 still probably outperforms.

[untold loom]

Yeah, my kid has a 570, which I compare things to (the 880m beats it)

[supple pawn]

I got 2 580s sitting on a shelf. Plus 2 r9 270s

[primal cairn]

Pc keep having BSOD

[supple pawn]

What's the error code?

[primal cairn]

Idk it doesn't even stay long enough for me to read it

[supple pawn]

Rip

[primal cairn]

The codes are in the bottom of the screen and the pc restarts itself when it's only loaded halfway

[untold loom]

Use a cellphone to capture the screen and slow it down?

[primal cairn]

I'll try

[supple pawn]

What are you doing when it happens?

[primal cairn]

Whocrashed didn't tell me much, it says it's the Nvidia driver, I updated it, uninstalled the game driver and installed the studio driver and it still happened

[modest sequoia]

#off-topic

[primal cairn]

One time I was typing the password to get into the desktop

[supple pawn]

Have an igpu?

[primal cairn]

Integrated? You mean

[supple pawn]

Yes

[primal cairn]

No mine is a 5090

[supple pawn]

Crap. No other GPU to try? Could maybe ddu the entire driver then reinstall from scratch?

Could also check event viewer to see if there is an entry for that time?

[regal lintel]

duuude I'm in love with the navi

[supple pawn]

What's an navi?

[primal cairn]

The aliens in avatar?

Oh.. it's not happening anymore?

I changed the bios settings

Oh never mind it happened again

Something like this but I don't remember if that's the same numbers

[modern cove]

If there's any Aussies in the chat, do y'all know any good truly encrypted email services?

[primal cairn]

I think it is my SSD

[vestal sentinel]

its probably a rouge driver

i doubt the ssd itself is causing the issue

Geez, about 16x5? I wonder how many ~32:9 movies exist 🙂

[cerulean canopy]

sadly i dont have another pic of full array from the back so not sure

[cerulean canopy]

is this core or scale

[viscid elm]

scaly boy

i think the nvidia drivers did a shit

[winged spire]

Louisiana voted to reduce the maximum car window tint allowed

Now its as dark as 25% on the front windshields

[untold loom]

Good?

[winged spire]

Starting next month or something

[untold loom]

Wait, "reduce the maximum" means they have to be lighter?

[viscid elm]

yes

[winged spire]

No

[viscid elm]

what

[winged spire]

Oh

[untold loom]

😵‍💫

[vestal sentinel]

🤷‍♂️ idk

[winged spire]

Misspoke

You can have darker tint

[viscid elm]

wait so it can be even darker

that is insane

[winged spire]

From 40 to 25

[winged spire]

Not really

[viscid elm]

wait so it is getting lighter

[winged spire]

What

[viscid elm]

tf is going on

[winged spire]

The number is the amount of light that goes through

[viscid elm]

aaaa

[winged spire]

25 is darker than 40

[viscid elm]

i thought it was the other way around

[untold loom]

This is why I asked 🙂

[vapid smelt]

Y'all do red light cameras or toll cameras?

[winged spire]

No

I don’t live in 1984 lol

[viscid elm]

anyhow, that is insane, people already have issues seeing at night and ofc anyone who might be approaching the car like lets say a police officer someone who is VERY likely to get shot when approaching a car when they can anyways seee what is going on inside might not be happier when they cant even see inside

[winged spire]

Yeah good

A massive benifit is not letting cops see into my car

Most tint laws are a legal way to violate the 4th amendment as far as I’m concerned

[untold loom]

Tinting all of front windows should just be illegal, or include some exciting multiplier on insurance.

[vapid smelt]

I find it funny how it's illegal to have a temporary tag in a tinted rear window

[winged spire]

It already is in almost the entire US

Oh

Wait what 💀

Horrible take

[vapid smelt]

My windows have no tint

[winged spire]

Tinting the WINDSHIELD shouldn’t be legal, banning all tint on the front windows is an incredibly bad take

[winged spire]

Almost all have tint from the factory

It’s just usually like an 80% or something

[blazing beacon]

My PCU is only like less then 700 I think

[untold loom]

Well, all windows have some light loss 🙂

[winged spire]

My car has the tint baked into the glass

[vapid smelt]

If they can have full black visors we should be able to have full black windshields

[winged spire]

It’s not a film

The actual glass is tinted

I’m likely gonna do 25% on all my windows now

[vapid smelt]

Just don't cross state lines ezpz

[winged spire]

I don’t think my back windows are legally allowed to be darker

[winged spire]

25 is basically what most states are at

[vapid smelt]

In Utah we can have limo tint in the rear

[winged spire]

Arkansas is at 25, Mississippi is at like 28

[winged spire]

Same here dependjng on the car

My sedan cannot but an SUV can have darker than limo

[untold loom]

Rear tinting should just require good rear camera systems 🙂

[winged spire]

Tint shouldn’t be paywalled

[vapid smelt]

Weird

[winged spire]

Yeah it’s strange

[untold loom]

SUVs have lots of of "get out of jail free" rules, I thought? 🙂

[vapid smelt]

You can have no windows unless Your a sedan!

[winged spire]

Now that 40% is 25 starting next month

Rest is the same though

[untold loom]

But yeah, reducing visibility out of a car should have consequences that help improve visibility.

[viscid elm]

now you can be anonymous at 80km/h

[winged spire]

The consequences happen if you crash into someone

[viscid elm]

well yea but i do not think the other person is gonna like it

[untold loom]

regulation exists to reduce the chances of that happening, which is way cheaper 🙂

[winged spire]

Yeah, no thanks

[viscid elm]

american cars are sad

they are designed to hit people in the head and or upper torso while the SUVs and trucks are so tall to the point you can put a line of like 6 kids in front of it until you can see one

[winged spire]

We can reduce fatal accidents a ton if we limit all cars to 75mph max

Yall should do that next

[viscid elm]

the US feels like a reality show almost

a mother went to jail i think it was for letting her kid have some basic amount of freedom by being able to walk by herself to i think it was school or friends.

[winged spire]

rolling paper lol

[viscid elm]

possible it comes in special boxes with a 6 pack while the singles have their own stuff, and they got no more of the 6 pack boxes but i dono how they do it

[winged spire]

nah

the 6 pack is 6 of the individual normal packs

same exact thing

[viscid elm]

then someone messed up some code

[winged spire]

I use the rolling papers for my CNCs

[viscid elm]

mhmm

thats kinda cool

But if you see iPhones as the superior phones for you, good, but don't assume everybody does. What's good for you might not be good for others.

[cedar forge]

I don’t have an iPhone are they good?

[raw cargo]

Him "iPhones are better than android" also him "are iPhones good?"

[cedar forge]

Oh alright now it’s funny

My family built Apple

And Samsung

[civic fox]

sure they did

[cedar forge]

What kind of phone do you have

[civic fox]

pixel 6a

[cedar forge]

Galaxy a11

That phone phones

[civic fox]

no it doesnt, the a11 is literal ewaste and garbage.

like most budget phones these days

[cedar forge]

The a series is good

Mid range

Better than a goofy pixel

[civic fox]

not even close

[cedar forge]

I’m rocking one plus 7 pro

[civic fox]

a series samsungs are just trash until you hit the a50 series etc

[keen mural]

android phones have hella features

[keen mural]

i cannot stand android, so annoying to use and it looks ass

agree to disagree ig

[timid storm]

Here we go again

[full fossil]

what is your response to people who judge your entire personality based off of the color of your text messages?

"EWW , its green text bubbles 🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢"

[pulsar violet]

I personally think Nokia 3310 is better

[simple quail]

from my experience Samsung's skin is really annoying, clunky and sluggish

[civic fox]

had the same experience, i agree.

[simple quail]

funnily enough, for some reason my iPhone refuses to use iMessage, despite having every setting related to that turned on, it uses SMS for everything

[pulsar violet]

I like how I got a ergo office chair last year and it’s been the least ergonomic thing

[bright zenith]

You up? 😏

[vapid wharf]

Agree

[pulsar violet]

Apple choosing which volume setting to use and no way to change each different one easily is one of the most stupidest things from a apple user

Also one thing makes any other os better than apples and is its freedom, as android is open source and allows side loading

[timid storm]

I am quite deep in the ecosystem. Work MBP but all other devices are my own... I agree, it gets really frustrating but man, nothing beats the transparency mode on APP2, and also the watch is so awesome....

Thinking of switching to Samsung flagship ecosystem because it will also work well with Windows... but really need to know from someone's hardcore experience about the shift as it will cost me quite a lot

[timid storm]

As someone who travels and stays between continents multiple times in a year, I get frustrated with the App Store Region lock for some apps (same with Android) but can atleast sideload

[opaque thorn]

Minor setback. She’ll probably recover.

[vocal wing]

How are the petrol so cheap? In California it’s like $5/gal

Deep South baby

[near nymph]

That's a fucking fan in a phone wtf.

[primal cairn]

Sign-in option disabled because of multiple restarts...

[fossil frost]

4 letter word, starts with c, ends with t

[primal cairn]

Told me to wait 2 hours and the pc went to sleep mode, now 8 hours later still can't sign in

[pulsar violet]

Yea I have APP2 as well and that’s is all true, the problem is apple makes Samsung look bad while knowing fully well they can port those features to work on android easily

Apple wants others to look evil while they have proprietary products

Take the usb cable for USB-C iPhones they have that stupid chip you need to unlock full bandwidth

[timid storm]

Earlier I thought Samsung also did the same... but the buds can work on other android devices, except for the Samsung Scalable Codec. https://www.samsung.com/ae/support/mobile-devices/can-i-connect-the-galaxy-buds3-and-buds3-pro-to-apple-iphones/

Don't quote me on this one, but I think I saw a page where they mentioned it is because their buds rely on Google Cloud Services, which are ofcourse not available on iOS

Except for sideloading, I do not see much use of the Android ecosystem as well

like they seem to be comparable, no..? Don't care about system wide AI images because I got Google Photos and Perplexity Pro for those requests

[near lava]

can i install linux alongside winows on my laptop

[stark idol]

Yes you can dual boot

[near lava]

how much mb required to install linux

[stark idol]

Not a lot

It’s still an os tho

It’s also dependent on which distro

[near lava]

i m not a tech guy so i hope its not too complicated oe cause issues

[stark idol]

Dual booting is where you have a different partition for windows and linux

And when the drive boots it loads both partitions

[near lava]

many people on discord seem to have cat pfps

[civic fox]

because cats are lit, and the best pets ever. worthy for pfps

[timid storm]

if you wish to try it out first, there are bootable USBs which run linux off the USB drive

[stone aspen]

guys quick question, what browser do yall use?

[sharp notch]

guys sorry if i sound dumb but is the space below my gpu meant for extra fans?

[viscid elm]

you can if you want to but does not look like its gonna be easy

[vapid wharf]

Firefox

[smoky badge]

[forest wedge]

Ryzen 5 2600

16gb ram ddr4
128gb ssd
Hdd 500gb
Psu 600w
Case rgb with fans
Gtx 980 gpu
Stock Cooler

This is good? Or should i replace 2600 with 3600 and then rx 590

[viscid elm]

wow what a pc

[viscid elm]

update the bios, install windows 11.

save up for a gpu with actual support then upgrade the cpu to a 5600 or something

[forest wedge]

980 in this range is not good right?

Thats what i was thinking

[viscid elm]

980 is still getting more support then the 590 xd

[forest wedge]

Really? Thats where iam stucj

Which one is better in terms of gaming lets exclude the cpu

Raw gaming

[viscid elm]

well the 590

[sharp leaf]

Do I need the additional protection plan when buying a 5080 from Amazon? Is it better to buy from Newegg or Best Buy? Looking at the ROG Astral

[sharp leaf]

Capture card or bracket to hold up your card if it sags

[sharp notch]

holy shit ur PC is almost the same as my old rig except fro the 980.
anyways, i upgraded to a 5600 and then GPU was 2060 but its 3080 now.
added 16gb more ram

[forest wedge]

ah nice

[sharp notch]

go for a used GPU imo

[forest wedge]

if its like 90% same condition how much less price would it be

can the price drop by 10% or so?

[sharp notch]

idk abt conditions

@forest wedge all i know is in my country, a 5060Ti costs 1.68x more than a used rtx 3080 whilst also being 12% slower

@forest wedge but even used GPus under 3080 should prolly be dirt cheap now

[brisk jasper]

I pretty much always buy used GPUs and haven’t ever had an issue. I’ve built 7 PCs this year for friends/family/myself and all used. When there are issues you can get a refund from eBay which is where I buy usually

The only parts I refuse to buy used or PSUs and SSDs

Anything else is free game used, but motherboard/CPU I prefer new

[forest wedge]

gotcha

[sharp notch]

yes

[polar fern]

My Logitech MX vertical mouse has a failing microswitch under the left click button. This is a mouse which has a millions of clicks rating & there’s no way I am close to the durability limit. I also treat this mouse well & keep it clean & away from spill risks etc. Going to be contacting Logitech & demanding a replacement. It’s the switches that go bad because they’re not spec’d correctly. Not very repairable in my situation, sadly.

Logitech has shit switches in a few of their products, and they fail almost reliably at 2 years

[viscid elm]

I buy those but somehow a used ssd costs more

[brisk jasper]

Idk if I would demand a replacement, but if you contacted them and explained your issue you’d likely get one. You don’t need to immediately jump to brashness necessarily.

[sharp notch]

been using my steelseries for like 8 years now

[viscid elm]

Buyers protection

[viscid elm]

Perfect for Europe

[polar fern]

They know about the issue & they’re a HUGE company & can easily send a new product to replace a bad one.

[brisk jasper]

I’ve always gotten replacements for stuff that have failed early by just contacting customer support and explaining my issue, but have never got one being brash. I’ve probably received 40+ pieces of replacement tech

[polar fern]

Yeah, my G402 is 5 years old & still works like new.

[viscid elm]

Almost like we have warranty for a reason

[polar fern]

I never said “I’m going to act like a jerk”

[brisk jasper]

Demanding vs Asking

[polar fern]

I’m not asking. They know it’s an issue. I need my mouse to work.

[brisk jasper]

Demand: ask authoritatively or brusquely.

I sure wouldn’t replace your mouse lol

[polar fern]

You’re assuming a ton dude

[brisk jasper]

Regardless, I do hope they resolve your issues- I definitely don’t love or have had any long term luck with Logitech at all either. I’ve had a lot of luck with Corsair tho

But they’re probably the same way and have definitely broken early in the past- overall pretty good tho

I had one memory stick come missing a capacitor near the pads. So I assume during testing it got knocked off or it was RMA’d and “tested”. Unsure. Eitherway I got new RAM

[viscid elm]

If you're in the eu all electronics have a 2 year warranty

[kind kindle]

Hm

Not always

[viscid elm]

When not always

Here in Norway even used shit sold by stores has 2 years

[dawn pond]

🤨

[kind kindle]

In ireland its really petty we have 2 years to but they can decline it if its been used to much or any reason

[viscid elm]

Well yes

It's just the same as warranty on a ssd

If it does Uber the TBW then you have a warranty case but over like yeah it's already done what we claim it to be able to do

[shell kindle]

Hi, Long Time watcher here.

[drowsy moon]

hi

was for getting started

[upper saddle]

hey guys 🖐️
i'm new to this server.

i'm looking for a friend here.
The reason is that lately i'm really into online privacy/security/anonymity and stuff like that. And even some tech stuff.

My main language is russian, and no one around me is interested in such things, which feels really sad, because, sometimes i want to share some progress/experience/knowledge, to discuss some topic, share some channels/articles/resources or whatever.
And i also really love english, so it's a skill that i'm improving in parallel during this journey, and it will be great to have some communication experience, besides perception.

by the way, among all others things, i've just started learning Linux (Mint on VB)

[upper gyro]

I'm not that friendly though 😄

[fossil frost]

if you are "really into online privacy/security/anonymity", i wouldnt admit to where you were from, especially since discord is banned in that country right now, making its use against the discord ToS, and a reason you would get banned from discord, and/or banned from this server

[lament crystal]

Has anyone here played Avowed?

[upper saddle]

I didn't say from where I am, I just said that my main lang is RU

[fossil frost]

and there is only 1 country on the planet where the main language is russian... which heavily implies where you are from, implies it strongly enough that mods would be obliged to look into it, and report it

[lament crystal]

That's... not true

Russian is the official language of russia, belarus, Kyrgyzstan and kazakhstan

[upper saddle]

Europe is not a country, and Russia is not the only country with RU main lang

[lament crystal]

Also the unofficial lingua franca of Azerbaijan, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan

According to Indiana University

[upper saddle]

thanks

[lament crystal]

https://russian.indiana.edu/about/russian-language/index.html

[winged spire]

They speak Ukrainian in Ukraine but like 80% of them also happen to speak Russian as well

lol

[fossil frost]

where did i mention europe? and yes, ive just found that out, i was mistaken.. but discord is banned in russia, Belarus officially, and "heavily curtailed" in the other 2 countries

still, saying your main language is russian leads people, including the mods, to look at you, and you probably dont want them looking at you

[lament crystal]

There are also a load of other scenarios where their main language is russian but they live somewhere else

[upper saddle]

You didn't mention, it was a joke, like a common mistake by US people usually

[winged spire]

He isn’t even in the US

[fossil frost]

good job i live nowhere near the USA then isnt it

[fossil frost]

fair enough... ill not help them next time, ill allow other people, including the mods, to jump to the same conclusion, and allow them to get banned... what was i thiniing... trying to help someone...

[lament crystal]

You're making an assumption, I'm just telling you how that assumption could be false

[upper saddle]

to get banned for what?

[fossil frost]

i made the assumption you were from russia, because of what you said.. its not that big of a leap for others to make that same assumption. its against discord TOS for you to use discord from somewhere that has banned its usage, because that opens up discord to legal issues... so discord bans users who do that... and because this is a verified server, the mods are REQUIRED to report that to discord admins if they suspect it...

i never said discord blocked users from russia, i said that russia banned discord in russia

when discord finds out that users admit they are connecting from russia, their TOS says they will ban that user, to avoid legal issues

but if you keep your mouth shut about where you are from, they dont ban those users

as i already said... i was trying to help the guy... people seem to want me to not help them... so... fuck him... let him get banned

[upper saddle]

trust me, its really not like that at all.

there still discord servers with tens thousands of active russian members

[polar fern]

Salut

Let me please apologize for my fellow American discord users. We have a lot of misinformation here about external cultures and countries

[fossil frost]

im not american... dumb fuck

[winged spire]

Transit talking about misinformation?

[fossil frost]

Transit is the biggest misinformation spreader/troll here

[winged spire]

Yep

I need to find a tint shop

Theres a local one here but they don’t mention anything about what tint they use

Which.. that’s sketchy

[fossil frost]

for your car?

[polar fern]

Smol doot on the car’s charger this morning 😎

[winged spire]

If I’m getting tint installed I’m gonna get a nice ceramic tint

[winged spire]

Yeah

I can have as dark as %25 on the front windows now
