[glad fog]

yeah i think that's what i need

[true stirrup]

Oh you can just move the folder to a different drive and change the path in vanguard

[rare musk]

epic doesnt have it the last time i used but u can get around it with manual stuff, theres probably some tutorials for it

[true stirrup]

Literally just changing the path

[rare musk]

i remember moving it manually to D: and picking the path i moved it to then re-downloading and restarting the app

[obtuse moss]

i want to make a topre macropad for some reason

[rare musk]

out of what

[true stirrup]

Should be decently easy

[obtuse moss]

pcbs and 3d printed plastic and an arduino or something

[obtuse moss]

there’s an existing guide for building your own topre keyboard

i could follow that

[rare musk]

sounds sick

[obtuse moss]

i’d probably want a volume knob though

[rare musk]

potentiometer time

[true stirrup]

I actually got one of those ready on my shelf for my microcontroller lol

[obtuse moss]

oh epic

[harsh venture]

preciate it

[trim warren]

Hi guys, I have a pc that i didn't touch for a couple of years, when I tried to turn it on, the light wont blink, it just turned on, I tried to change the lithium battery but nothing changed

[rare musk]

a laptop i assume

[glad fog]

Okay so i dont think that 12vhpwr adapter would work, that requires 12 pins right?

[rare musk]

use #1027757333117415424 and give as detailed explanation as u can

[rare musk]

mf clean that shit lmfaoooo

offroad psu

[rotund mirage]

Cattle

[true stirrup]

The adapter will use up both the PCI-E cables coming out of the PCI-E PSU slots

[glad fog]

Okay i see, then it should be fine i guess

[true stirrup]

Yeah as long as you still have the PCI-E cables for that PSU

[glad fog]

Only have this one i think

isnt the adapter providing those 2 cables that connect to the psu

[true stirrup]

I don't think so it's usually that you plug the cables from the PSU into it

[glad fog]

Or it might just plug into the 2x pcie cables coming from the psu, in that case i gotta look for it or at least buy another one.

[true stirrup]

Not all PSUs are modular

So that's why it's an adapter

[stray holly]

does dram help with longetivity
every ssd i have starts killing itself for some reason?

[azure topaz]

is every ssd you buy terrible?

[true stirrup]

All QLC nand?

[azure topaz]

this could be a board issue. what do you mean killing itself

[stray holly]

s70 blade, 870 evo, kingson nv3.

They all eventually start having 100% disc usage

[azure topaz]

thats not a bad thing

[stray holly]

100% disc usage and nothing being written, its awful on OS drive cause the windows starts crashing you cant do anything.

those 3 ssds across 3 different systems.

[true stirrup]

The a70 is SLC and 870 Evo is TLC so you should be fine

[stray holly]

do i just have garbage luck

[glad fog]

Okay so the pcie cable seems to split into two 8 pin ones, not sure if that would work or do i need to use the 2nd pcie slot on the gpu

[stray holly]

I've sent the 870 already for repairs its back but i haven't tested it yet

sorry 970 evo plus

[true stirrup]

Yeah you plug the adapter into those two

Your good

[glad fog]

Okay cause i got two of these pcie slots on the psu, but i guess this should work, just thought it might pull too much power or something from one slot it comes from, or it doesnt matter.

[harsh venture]

what is this supposed to mean lmao

[rapid gazelle]

what is the current price for the 5090

[true stirrup]

Nah you are nowhere close to the limit with the 285W TDP of the 4070ti super

[mellow gull]

it means you can't go there. you don't want to go there so just leave it as it is

[hot stone]

Can DP handle a separate monitor or does it only mirror to said display?

(nvm)

[rare musk]

the what

[gilded anvil]

So how many of yall are financial well off enough or financially irresponsible enough to be looking at 5090

[rare musk]

i will be in 2 years, especailly right around the time where msrp is actually the price

[high elm]

its 2k thats like a month at mcdonalds

youre prolly never gonna find it at 2k but eh

[rare musk]

uh huh

good thing food lasts for 5 minutes and a gpu lasts 20 years

[gilded anvil]

gotta beat the best buy bots and get a 5090fe otherwise youll never get it for msrp 💀

maybe in 2027 itll be msrp maybe

[rare musk]

like i said, i aint financialy there yet anyway

[high elm]

a month at mcdonalds as in like your salary

[rare musk]

oh lol

thats one way to say 1 monthly wage

[high elm]

“yo i make a 5090 every month”

[rare musk]

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/975143120759042079.png?size=160&name=neco+arc+celebrate

i used that so many times for 4090

deadass

[vivid pendant]

A month at McDonald's fulltime here is about 3400 before tax

[warm linden]

2000 usd

[tired bear]

what about after tax?

[rare musk]

for 0.05 second, sure lololol

[cyan bay]

rate my setup

[vivid pendant]

Bout 2800

Even minimum wage here is over 2k a month

[gilded anvil]

I'm definitely upgrading to 98x3d soon and that's $1k in itself

Including a new case and cooler, maybe 650 for the essentials

And gonna add in fkin 2400 for gpu and shit 💀

[rare musk]

5090? make it 2600 atleast without taxes

[tired bear]

do you already have a am5 motherboard and ddr5?

[gilded anvil]

Absolutely none of the above

This be the plan

[rare musk]

i assume u dont have a budget, wouldve recommended 5700x3d but just go for 9800x3d, no reason to dont with no budget

[gilded anvil]

Wait that's an old url

[rare musk]

yea lol

[gilded anvil]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZwTBTM

🙂

[rare musk]

based

it will go past 4k easily

u could also just get 1500w psu type shit so u dont have to deal with replacing it 3 generations down the path

[gilded anvil]

o that could b a good idea

idk we r gonna need like

[rare musk]

also 240mm rad aint good, get 360 atleast

[gilded anvil]

ubsurdly cheap energy if PCs are gonna require more than 1k

shit expensive as-is

[rare musk]

its not a matter of performance/money but instead overall cooling

[gilded anvil]

trying to do a small case is really cucking the cooling situation its annoying

could go SFX psu and then get 280mm rad easily

[rare musk]

ah okay

[rare musk]

do it if the psu is 1000 or 1200+

[tired bear]

https://github.com/KCORES/KCORES-CSPS-to-ATX-Converter
the funny

[rare musk]

worth the 280mm full sized rad, would look much better too

[rare musk]

im not a psu nerd but that looks sketchy enough even for me to notice it

[gilded anvil]

wtf is this lmao

wacko chinese psu adapted into atx form factor?

[tired bear]

no, just a converter board from server psu to normal atx pinout

[rare musk]

why not get the
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM7GNxTSkPI
instead

[gilded anvil]

they r basically the same

[rare musk]

this has much more airflow

[gilded anvil]

oh no i remember

[rare musk]

aka less noise too

[gilded anvil]

bcs meshroom D needs the $50 basement for matx and i dont rly wanna get mitx

[tired bear]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV12A411N7AG/

[rare musk]

i dont understand, is mitx smaller and more expensive or what

[gilded anvil]

yes

[rare musk]

do u expect me to be able to read this?

cus i cant

[rare musk]

is size and price the only negative?

[random gyro]

one yen dollar 10 watt

[tired bear]

broken ahh browser

[gilded anvil]

price is the thing

[rare musk]

mf look at ur setup, 50$ aint gonna hurt if u manage to get an all mesh case

[gilded anvil]

which yes i realize buying a 5090 and worrying about like $100 or so for a mobo is stupid BUT, might as well save the money bro

[tired bear]

https://youtu.be/Dy0Jgn7Dg4A
i found a yt version

[rare musk]

u can save much more from aio and not going for such small case

[random gyro]

@gilded anvil what are your pc specs?

[rare musk]

this only gets more useless, i dont understand any of it

[gilded anvil]

right now 12600k 64gb ddr4 7900xtx

[random gyro]

nice

[gilded anvil]

12600k ddr4 is the real killer, it sucks

[random gyro]

are u a programmer

[gilded anvil]

ya

[random gyro]

should i get the 5700xt

[tired bear]

neither do i but monke see monkey want

[gilded anvil]

if for gaming its prob fine

im not sure what competes with 5700xt really

[gilded anvil]

what do you mean on the aio thing here

like picking a cheaper aio?

[rare musk]

picking a cheap af aircooler lol

[gilded anvil]

o ya well

[rare musk]

its just a random pcb next to some psu looking thing

[gilded anvil]

I have thermalright frost commander 140 right now
But the problem is with 5090 it's gonna be dumping 600 watts of heat directly into the cpu cooler. im kinda worried its gonna harm cpu performance

[rare musk]

you know, theres a cheap thing called
✨ venting ✨

which is done by 3d printing parts to redirect air

[gilded anvil]

Eughhh seems like a bad time

[rare musk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cehXZftIYok&t

[tired bear]

it is going to blow hot air anyway regardless if you are using air or water cooling

[rare musk]

say that to optimum, he loved it

im gonna watch this shit for the 3rd time, i cant hold myself

[gilded anvil]

water cooling will help with exhausting it right away tho

[rare musk]

sure

especially if u manage to place ur aio good, so front as intake

ur cpu will stay nice and cool, ur gpu will have some hot air unless u block front intake to reach to gpu intake

and just slap 2 more 120 fans to bottom to boost gpu

[swift moss]

e5 2630L v4 or just 2630 v4?

[rare musk]

what

[swift moss]

i want to try at some point kek, thermals aint really an issue rn

[rare musk]

its just overall fun af as well

and its basically free

[swift moss]

which cpu is better? i heard L is the same at idle, just throttled for lower tdp

[swift moss]

not even close

[rare musk]

mf i never heard any of those cpus

[rare musk]

10$ for the filaments if u already own a 3d printer, and u should own one too

[tired bear]

you heard right

also xeons dont do really low power idile

[swift moss]

aight ill just get the normal model

might go for a 2680 v4

[tired bear]

chinese motherboard?

[swift moss]

i'd say its around a kilo of filament for venting, so 20usd + power costs (my a1 mini is 60 watts while working) * 48 hours flat out

[swift moss]

yeah im planning on getting a qidiya e5 a99 to replace my dead h110m chipset + 6700

[rare musk]

it can be like 1% infill 💀

and 120w/h aint that expensive

its like less than 50 cent here bruh

[swift moss]

60c per killawatt hour
2.88 kwh

[tired bear]

just vase mode it bruh

[rare musk]

yeah

im just saying 1% infill so he cant say "it will be weak af"

[rare musk]

your electricity is excessively expensive wth

oh kw/h okay lol

[swift moss]

$0.3306/kWh

[rare musk]

yea it aint high enough to mention it

[swift moss]

i mean it should have some structural integrity, i find 12% gyroid is nice

[rare musk]

it doesnt need any integrity

u can make the same outta cardboard

air pressure in it is just 120mm fans at like 40% lol

[tired bear]

it is supposed to be holow as air is supposed to blow through it

[rare musk]

yea he knows it

[swift moss]

bruh lol if my server floor 550W all year round its 1987 NZD to run it

[swift moss]

no the walls i mean

[swift moss]

oh i see

[frail delta]

That's your fault for buying ewaste

[elfin shoal]

my 9700x idles at like 22 watts

kind of annoying

[tired bear]

they are going to be all solid anyway if they are 1mm thich

[swift moss]

my 2990wx + 2080ti drew that much lol

[elfin shoal]

i feel like it shouldnt be that high

my 1080ti also idles at 60-80 watts :D

[swift moss]

2018 is NOT ewaste

[rare musk]

be happy, this is mine at just watching 4k vid and talking on discord etc

[elfin shoal]

pascal efficiency 💪

[vivid pendant]

Look at the hyate h60 AIO. Idk if that will fit but it outperforms most 360s

[frail delta]

Yes, it is

[swift moss]

k80 with 300w power draw for gtx 970 performance:

[elfin shoal]

my mac studio idled at 500mw 💔

[rare musk]

i mean mine can go down to 9w if it really does idle

[tired bear]

what specs?

[vivid pendant]

My bad it's q60 not h60

[plain cypress]

The entire year is ewaste

[elfin shoal]

2018 is ewaste

[swift moss]

i have yet to see a company running inhouse servers in nz that are newer than 2019/2020 unless they are very large or startup

[swift moss]

2990wx 2080ti 128gb @tired bear

[rare musk]

[tired bear]

[frail delta]

Most micro to small businesses have no need for anything on-prem anyway

[swift moss]

still, idk what you are on about

ewaste?

@frail delta

[frail delta]

No...

It was released like 14 months ago

[swift moss]

soooo, 550w is not ewaste?

[frail delta]

It's not going at 330w 24/7

And if it is it's probably time to move to colo

[swift moss]

yeah ig

[swift moss]

i was hypothesising ig, my server defo didnt draw 550w either idle

[tired bear]

our entire DC draws about 3-4kw

[frail delta]

Yeah lol

[rare musk]

tf u powering

[swift moss]

is power cheaper at a colocation?

[untold zealot]

My daughters PC has this same aio it's a great AIO highly recommend

[rare musk]

your daughter?

[frail delta]

Well, yes, but you also have proper redundancy and cooling

[swift moss]

as in like the fees you are paying to be there, would that include power at a discount

[swift moss]

oh yeah for sure

[frail delta]

And you don't have to worry about idiot end users

[trim flicker]

fishy aio

[swift moss]

fair enough

Isn’t that the hyte aio

thats total of 1tb, 64gb per blade

you only get a pass cause you're from NZ

[swift moss]

@limber nacelle debating between 2630 and 2680

[limber nacelle]

i will not approve either

[frail delta]

None

[limber nacelle]

well i mean, lga2011 cpus are so cheap anyways that it's probably just a couple dollar difference

[tired bear]

why ryzen 5 5500?

[swift moss]

i mean yeah its like 30 -> 40

[charred ledge]

Got an NVME drive so I installed Windows to it. Everything was going fine. Booted up repair to use disk part and clean up the partitions on the old drive. Deleted the efi and reserved partitions. Verified it was the right drive multiple times. Restart windows won't boot. Somehow it was still booting from the old files. So now I'm reinstalling windows again.

[limber nacelle]

might as well just big ball it

[swift moss]

thats just the baseline of what i could buy for like 3x the price (120nzd for the chip + 180nzd for the mobo)

[swift moss]

fair enough (the 2697A is 80nzd)

[junior valve]

is that mold or smt

[limber nacelle]

i'd get the 2680 then

[swift moss]

toplime im adjusting my expectations rn, and its not exactly ewaste just yet, better than the 6700 i had earlier at the very least

[limber nacelle]

i wouldn't spend that much on it

[swift moss]

yeah i was leaning towards that too

[swift moss]

yeah its more of a solution for around 2 years (2026-2027)

[limber nacelle]

it's just $10 in which case, might as well

wouldn't spend more than $10 extra

[swift moss]

yeah around 25nzd for the 2680 vs 6-10nzd for the 2630, still worth it i think

[limber nacelle]

meh

[tired bear]

cant wait for chinese to start making intel scalable compatabile moterboards lmao

[swift moss]

lmfao, their rare metal series is still quite pricey beacuse it can be purchased new and isnt quite ewaste for datacenters just yet

[limpid kernel]

Should I worry that my new laptop is experiencing screen flickers at times? I did the SupportAssist hardware check, nothing came back bad. The screen just goes black for like half a second to a second every now and then.

[limpid kernel]

(Dell Inspiron 15 3535)

[tired bear]

gotta get started on development tho

[swift moss]

once they start hitting the used market en masse, thats when the chinese makers will buy salvaged chipsets and craft boards for them

[swift moss]

lmfao, r&d prep

[tired bear]

jk, there is no development

[swift moss]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-gif-24973773

just a bunch of russian chipset moders

[swift moss]

LGA 3647 is becoming old ig

c621 chipset if i recall

[tired bear]

coolers will be a problem as they are also retention mechanism

[swift moss]

actually the cpus are getting cheaper im ngl

[tired bear]

ik

[swift moss]

i mean ig, just added manufacturing costs right?

[tired bear]

yea

[swift moss]

no budge though yeah

i wonder why

[tired bear]

wb this one

[swift moss]

probably takes some time to make

[random gyro]

Pokémon

[swift moss]

just looked professional grade to me lol, ill check it out

i mean ig im paying off the r&d cost directly with this one

[limber nacelle]

not a bad price for a dual socket 3647

[swift moss]

thats the cooler

[limber nacelle]

oh the 131 is just for the cooler innit

[swift moss]

LMFAO yeah

[limber nacelle]

yeah.....

[swift moss]

when supermicro is cheaper than a chinese clone yk something up

[limber nacelle]

lol

yeah I was thinking, that looks and sounds exactly like a supermicro board

[swift moss]

also the x11dai is a supermicro board, thats why i thought nothing of it

the classic deep green pcb

[swift moss]

yeah

we do love 10 sata slots + 16 dimms though

[limber nacelle]

also blue dimm slots

[swift moss]

what about them?

[limber nacelle]

i mean, do sata slots even matter

[tired bear]

on ebay it is cheaper

[limber nacelle]

won't you be running an hba anyways

[swift moss]

lol yeah aliexpress only good for like new junk

[swift moss]

i mean ig, but sometimes its nice to avoid a slot filler

[limber nacelle]

off the top of my head supermicro likes to use blue dimm slots and green PCBs

[swift moss]

10 boot drives moment

[tired bear]

ngl that board looks delicious 😋

[swift moss]

yeah thats their distinguishing factor

[limber nacelle]

god I do love them yummy green PCBs

[tired bear]

all generic oem motherboards like to use same color scheme

[limber nacelle]

nothing quite screems performance like green PCBs

[swift moss]

yep

[tired bear]

when you know you had gotten the good stuff

[limber nacelle]

love it

(yes I know it's a dell oem gpu but they're good anyways)

[rare musk]

has a passthrough, good enough

whats gpu is it exactly

[limber nacelle]

4090

[tired bear]

green pcb doesent look half bad but those blue, green, yellow, black fan wires are ugly

[limber nacelle]

true

[rare musk]

they do those? damn are they trusting to themselves

whats the price of it

[limber nacelle]

they don't sell it by themselves

[rare musk]

ik, im asking used anyway

[limber nacelle]

the same as any other 4090

[rare musk]

sad

id expect it to be considerably cheaper

[tired bear]

they have oem do it
just they encourage them to make it cheapest way possible

[limber nacelle]

why? a 4090 is a 4090

[limber nacelle]

despite that, they're decent iirc

[rare musk]

yea but used market values change a lot on the shroud design n shit

[rare musk]

i agree to ennui, its only the looks that suck ass

[wispy thunder]

Gamers Nexus said the design was good

[rare musk]

gamers nexus isnt me

i dont like black shroud

[wispy thunder]

paint it

it's just plastic

[tired bear]

should be green

[rare musk]

this doesnt scream anything to me, looks like some random ass 3 fan amd gpu

not it not it

but not a bad ground to paint white over it

not as bad as zotac's shit

[south arrow]

It serves me well and I wish I could see the actual grater vs the top of it

[rare musk]

get a riser frfr

[south arrow]

Probs going back to fe or maybe a white model idk yets time will tells

[rare musk]

white 4 life

paint a fe white 😋

this is actually fucking nuts

[south arrow]

I feel like some in here would plot my asasination

[rare musk]

dude, wth

[south arrow]

I kinda dig its

[tired bear]

chrome plate it

[rare musk]

i might just have to wash my chair after seeing these, this is so good

how did i not think of it before

[south arrow]

It's a vibe no qualms

[rare musk]

just so darn good

[tired bear]

why is lettering so ugly
would preffer it just being left indented

[swift moss]

what an amazing die shot.

[south arrow]

Why does every pic get better xD

[rare musk]

lol i think thats hand carved by the wrapper

[rare musk]

nice, is that the highest resolution?

[tired bear]

yea ugly af

[rare musk]

lmfaooo ikr

[swift moss]

its reddit lol, doubt ity

max res here

its an amd vega 10

[rare musk]

not enough, i wanna see every one of the gates!!!

[swift moss]

pascal arch now (gp104)

[rare musk]

whats up with the coloring, is it height related?

[swift moss]

usually only microproccesors are macro photographed at 8k+

[swift moss]

probably the natural silicone tone or colored in post, not sure

microproccessor 6k die shot

rp2040

[rare musk]

gyaaaaaaaat

[rare musk]

@lapis condor look look

[swift moss]

its just a macro photo of a bare die but ig 😭

[rare musk]

its still so hot to see it high res

[swift moss]

2960×2850 µm die

99% ram lol

[rare musk]

wth

[swift moss]

it absolutely crazy what we can do even at such comparatevely cheap and weak scales

[rare musk]

first time seeing a ram

i mean i seen 3d models but thats just nothing compared to this

[swift moss]

intel 8008 (first 8 bit microprocessor) by machines vs human made

[lapis condor]

You ain't seen die shots they've got of more recent silicon things?

[rare musk]

i did butidk it just looked so high res compared to those

[swift moss]

these are technically die shots

[south arrow]

Can fit so much data in them spaces

[swift moss]

we are reaching the theoretical limit soon i believe

[rare musk]

with silicon, yeah

but ltt reviewed some tech that used atoms

i mean, 1 atom

[tired bear]

for cache it is already reached

[swift moss]

not saying much considering we currently have around 10 atom transistors

[rare musk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1198727661783093318.webp?size=48&name=Necoarc_Stare

wait really, thats so cool, whats the l1 limit?

currently, 3nm is 20 atoms @rare musk

[cyan bay]

how do u get this kind of GPUs design

[swift moss]

headache

[rare musk]

wrapping the parts

like car body panel wrapping

[cyan bay]

ion get it

[swift moss]

so 8x64KB?

[rare musk]

basically this

[cyan bay]

oh frm

[random gyro]

i actually want to murder warship

[rare musk]

same

[swift moss]

https://tenor.com/view/putting-on-decals-viralhog-road-runner-peeling-the-decals-gif-23769764

[rare musk]

lol

thats just sticker, not really wrapping

[cyan bay]

No seriously though other GPUs dont look like that

[swift moss]

absolutely ridiculous speeds

[rare musk]

because they arent wrapped lol

that white FE designs dont exist from factory, its custom made

[rapid quarry]

❌Fix the dent
✅Add a decal

[rare musk]

oh theres a dent too lol didnt notice

[cyan bay]

they always look like this

[swift moss]

found this 285k die shot on bilibili @rare musk

[rare musk]

nice 144p

[swift moss]

its the official asus die shot, probably just reuploaded lol

[cyan bay]

but not like one from Nvidia website

[rare musk]

possibru

aniwae i gotta sleep, bai

[teal sinew]

here's a high res one that i labeled

[swift moss]

@rare musk https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1npy5Y8EC3/?vd_source=b1d7076cbe7eab656ccc9e2a8fb982c2

[swift moss]

ooh nice, whats the filler for? a nice cpu shape?

[lapis condor]

Literally structural support

[swift moss]

i see

[cyan bay]

like where do I find this kind of designs

[rare musk]

why does that look blobby like ai upscaled or smth

[teal sinew]

i probably did ai upscale it with gigapixel

[lapis condor]

Buy from Nvidia directly

[swift moss]

custom

[rare musk]

dang

[cyan bay]

how to make custom

[tired bear]

i would bet that they havent accounted for silicon being fliped over

[swift moss]

yeah odd strokes

[teal sinew]

i dont remember doing it, but if i did then the source image was probably ass

i paid for gigapixel a long time ago

[swift moss]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/zeqkk6/rtx_3090_fe_white_vinyl_wrap_process_in_comments/

[rare musk]

do u not mean pixel phones when u say gigapixel?

[lapis condor]

What

[swift moss]

topaz labs

[teal sinew]

no i mean topazlabs gigapixel

[swift moss]

i have their ai suite lol

[rare musk]

crazy

[teal sinew]

my version is super outdated but im not paying them twice :p

[cyan bay]

btw guys just asking if ur playing a game does making the graphics and everything "High" takes up V ram?

[swift moss]

:p frfr

[lapis condor]

More better graphics settings means more Vram, yes

[swift moss]

i love aida64 overlay

[cyan bay]

ahh

[swift moss]

not sure who authorised 1.589V being fed to my cpu but sure

[cyan bay]

does 3 fan gpu and 2 fan gpu differ in any performance?

[lapis condor]

You did :D

[swift moss]

i have a 1.35?V hard limit in bios

[lapis condor]

One might be louder

[cyan bay]

what

[swift moss]

basically under 1.4V

[lapis condor]

One of them might be louder

[cyan bay]

so no difference in performance?

[swift moss]

and you can see im not wrong @lapis condor

[lapis condor]

No

[lapis condor]

That ain't Vcore voltage

[swift moss]

shit 😭****

[lapis condor]

Well there you go, tasty 1.6Vcore for your 13600k

[swift moss]

i have been running a suicidal chip at 1.6V lol

[lapis condor]

I can smell the delicately roasted e cores and ring bus from here

[swift moss]

it crashed once i think, but it hasnt failed yet consistenly, so no RMA yet

i would love to get a free 14700 replacement (which you can get from pbtech)

[swift moss]

wait so what exactly did i set to 1.35V?

[lapis condor]

They dont test them yknow
You can just rma it

[lapis condor]

You tell me

[swift moss]

yeah no thats a replacement, i cant rma to pbtech, pbtech actually tests it unlike intel

i could just replace it for fun

[teal sinew]

why is it requesting 1.55v at 4400MHz

oh

4.5GHz ring that's why

[swift moss]

my bios is from 2022 ig (DONT BULLY)

[tired bear]

spicy

[lapis condor]

Lmao
Update it idiot

[swift moss]

i will probably do that yeah and see if its automatically fixed the voltage

[lapis condor]

Or are you waiting for it to fry for the free upgrade

[swift moss]

if not ill just rma for fun and to "renew" the chip ;D

[swift moss]

na i'm satisfied with the current chip, besides it aint strictly guaranteed, they could just replace it if they feeling devious too

how do you file an RMA with intel? also, free shipping?

or do i file it locally?

[tired bear]

why tf does my cpu run at higher voltage at idile compared to 100%

[swift moss]

lol

[swift moss]

0.9V is a ridiculous undervolt lol

[limber nacelle]

wait I can?

[lapis ocean]

thats a nice cpu martin

[limber nacelle]

might do it for my 13700k

[tired bear]

didnt touch the bios i swear

[limber nacelle]

gonna ask for a refund then buy a 14900k

[swift moss]

lol

[limber nacelle]

give me cinebench accelerators

[swift moss]

ill drop you an aida build, just run the stress test or cinebench r17 until it crashes

[limber nacelle]

lol

well im on latest micropatch so

[lapis condor]

Because more volts at idle means less current means less heat

[swift moss]

i hope they offer me a 14900KS instead of another 13600k 😋

[tired bear]

ig

[swift moss]

"boxed cpu rma's are handled by intel", sweet

where do i get this?

[tired bear]

box is gone, unfortunately need to take the cpu out

i dont have any photos afaik

[swift moss]

yeha i saw

im gonna reach out to pbtech first, then if they tell me to go to intel i will

i know for sure they have 0 stock of the 13600k so im hoping for an update/upgrade

[tired bear]

i guessed correctly that it is on the box and engraved on the cpu lmao

[swift moss]

i was joking about the die 😭

[tired bear]

maybe it is in your walls?

[crude shoal]

Any electrician in here? I live in an old apartment with subpar insolation so it causes my heater to turn on frequently. When it does, it causes my lights to dim for a quick second. Will this ruin my PC? It's on a surge protector and I am eventually wanting to get a UPS. I just worry that slight dips in electricity by the heater will damage them.

[tired bear]

you need a soft starter

[swift moss]

https://tenor.com/view/debora_perez-gif-21495314

[plain phoenix]

Do you have a decent powersupply? I'd only be concerned if you have a bargain box psu. The large capacitors should be able to sustain the system through the voltage drop, the voltage recovers very quickly

[random gyro]

is that a decent amount tho

[random gyro]

are those integrated ram sticks

[tired bear]

windows iot enterprise lmao

[crude shoal]

I have good PSUs, yeah. That's good. I was really worried. So i should be alright?

[swift moss]

lmfao, im updating my license to 2022/3 soon

[tired bear]

yea, also regular ups wont protect you from brownouts, you need a online double conversion ups to protect against that
and those are really expensive

[tired bear]

update it to windows pro for workstation to get RDMA support

or server

[plain phoenix]

Should be fine, any decent psu will be designed to deal with voltage dips like that. You can actually flip the power switch on the psu off and back on and the system won't turn off if you're fast about it.

[swift moss]

ya reckon its better than ltsc for my workstation

[swift moss]

a bit overkill but i dont mind

[tired bear]

it doesent matter but it is cool

[swift moss]

can i use the same license of ltsc and workstation?

[tired bear]

no

[swift moss]

oh i se

[crude shoal]

Oh interesting. i didn't know that.

[tired bear]

workstation is 300$ upgrade from pro

[crude shoal]

Okay great! Thank you!

[frail delta]

He's a fucking cheap ass and is going to pirate it

[tired bear]

yea i know that ltsc isnt obtained legally

[plain phoenix]

Now some ups's will have settings to help with that downfall. The ups I have will automatically switch to battery if the voltage falls out of a certain set range, but it won't smooth out those voltage dips like the fancy ones

[junior flicker]

Do you guys think i should get a 4070 ti super or wait and get a 5070/5080 if my power supply can handle that. I have a 850 watt power supply so i think it can

[plain phoenix]

May not be a bad idea to wait anyway, 40 series pricing might be a bit more palettable when 50 series is out

No matter what people say they're still gonna sell their 40 series cards on ebay and try to get a 50 series card

luckily i have business edition too for 100% of features

[swift moss]

yeah i pay for extreme, pirate the rest

[trim flicker]

fair

[swift moss]

you can probably see why

also some of this pricing is absolute shambles, like aida64 extreme = aida64 engineer, but adia business marginally better than engineer at the same price

There's also the huge funny that Nvidia did a fucky with the VBIOS, requiring cards to be updating meaning that day1 supply is very thin

It looks like you've screwed the drive directly down to the motherboard, bending the m.2 drive. This might not damage the drive now, but could cause damage if left this way over time.

[steel umbra]

just to ensure it’s not a scam because lately there have been scammy stores running around aliexpress

[trim flicker]

best bang for the buck chip on the platform tbh

[swift moss]

for computer parts 600 sales is fine? ig

[steel umbra]

this should be legit

[swift moss]

aight

if you can find a cheaper 2680 listing i would be very grateful btw, havent been able to personally

[trim flicker]

source: my girlfriend owns a lga2011 server with dual 2667v2's and they run like a titan

[steel umbra]

well, the “discounts” aren’t but they will ship you the cpu and not attempt to scam you

[swift moss]

yeah lol, just wondering if theres anything cheaper

[swift moss]

v2 WAYYY too old

[hoary agate]

was it worth buying a 20yr old asrock motherboard with pcie for the funsies

[swift moss]

[swift moss]

mobo btw

[steel umbra]

maybe wait if you can when aliexpress drops their coupons?

[swift moss]

why? isnt that more expense?

i thought this was already end of season sale

[steel umbra]

do you already have applied them?

[steel umbra]

nah they just drop them like whatever whenever they can

[swift moss]

which ones? these?

[steel umbra]

yes

[swift moss]

im not ordering 99usd worth, but ig i can try push it to that

im about 21 bucks off, which is the amount of the discount

ok ill have a look if i need anything else

[steel umbra]

oh you don’t have coupons inbetween $29 and $99

[swift moss]

i do need a good multimeter

this looks cool

[swift moss]

i could just get better cpu ngl

[hoary agate]

What I bought btw (I also bought a stock cooler but that isn’t there)

[trim flicker]

cool gamer girl setup

[swift moss]

why the heatsink? is it proprietary or just really old?

[swift moss]

switch aint where it at iono 😭

[steel umbra]

the cheap aliexpress multimeters work, they’re ok accurate like +-5% for most stuff but they do tend to break if you expose them to something out of their operation range unlikely more expensive multimeters, pretty sure you’ll find decent multimeters on ali but i’d look for a review for them

[hoary agate]

cheapest one i could find and the socket has a weird way of set up so ye

[trim flicker]

yes it is :p

[swift moss]

ah okay i might just invest in a better chip

whats the next upgrade over the 2680 ya reckon?

[steel umbra]

i don’t know tbh, i haven’t been paying much attention to the multimeter market

[swift moss]

no i mean cpu lol

😭 slightly overpriced imo

[steel umbra]

oh i thought you were talking about some multimeter sku lol

[swift moss]

LMFAO nana

[steel umbra]

you should be able to find a decent multimeter price inbetween the cheap chinese junk and these

[swift moss]

hanmatek oscilloscope 🆒

[steel umbra]

hmmm what’s your budget

[swift moss]

hold on

[crisp oasis]

hey can i ask tou guys a question

[swift moss]

62.29 New Zealand Dollar

i just calculated what it would take me to get over the 99usd barrier

[crisp oasis]

i have an intel motherboard and cpu if i switch to amd cpu do i also have to change my ram sticks

as well

[swift moss]
