yeah small issue for my profession is that higher grade students get accepted only so they expect a lot more from us than other classes which ig is kinda fair but still lol

I would make a windows installer usb to have on hand if you're just gonna move platforms. you don't have to uninstall the old drivers as windows can probably figure it out, but it's honestly better to just reinstall

[plush wren]

math is hard for no reason when we wont even use it

[spring raft]

Alr, thx!!

[rapid quarry]

Algebra is useful for me everyday

[plush wren]

im not against math i mean like were going much more in detail

i think math is very useful but most teachers dont really care to explain well

it could also be from us not having much prior knowledge

[plush wren]

which i think is the prob the most common

[rapid quarry]

I personally think that a lot of high school teachers don't have the time. I also know that the curriculum that they teach is most likely not their choice

[plush wren]

oh yeah true

[dapper light]

algebra and trig is really up there in term of usefulness :D

[plush wren]

i need to read a book on math i swear

[plush wren]

i think geometry too

im missing a lot of knowledge in general math i think i just need to find a book to start from zero and fill in
the gaps

and also force myself to read it

[dapper light]

yes yes basic geomtry too. spatial reasoning is clearly lacking on this planet considering the amount of flerfs

[plush wren]

Lmao

i cant understand geometry for the life of me

[bronze summit]

Played Nioh for a while

[rapid quarry]

My precalc teacher for college, while teaching, actually said how useful some stuff would be. She had to mention polar symmetry tests, but she said they were useless and unreliable because failing a test doesn't mean the graph doesn't have that symmetry and we would not be tested on them. She also teaches calc 2

[bronze summit]

It's not difficult at all,

It's more just "Don't get hit" because most of the enemies give an output damage of 500 minimum and can one hit you if you leave yourself vulnerable

[plush wren]

yeah teachers like that are the goats

[rapid quarry]

The textbook was also free

[plush wren]

i have like 6 that i think are toptier just cause they teach well imo

[bronze summit]

My current math teacher explains shit to me in the most braindead idiot way that I actually learn and know it

[plush wren]

yeah my bosnian teacher just sends us book pdfs

[left dove]

[rapid quarry]

Same with my current comp teacher

[plush wren]

alchemist is a fire book

[plush wren]

yeah shes a bit odd at times but ig better than most teachers in the school for that subject

[dapper light]

my current semester math teacher actually got me to speedrun understanding Basic calculus all the way to advanced. something i'm having problems with the previous 2 semesters

[plush wren]

it class has to be the most boring ngl only memorization

[plush wren]

gg

[plush wren]

well for first year only ig

[rapid quarry]

I had a chem class last semester. Amazing professor but the class size was 200ish students. And some people just weren't paying attention. And everyone lost it at "sigma bonds"

[plush wren]

lmfao I saw videos on tt about first year hs students laughing when their chem teacher mentions sigma bonds

my chem teacher is the goat ngl i had to use gpt to understand covalent bonds but other than that shes great at explaining everythinf else

[rapid quarry]

The thing is, this is a college. I have lost my faith in the future of my generation

[plush wren]

True but shouldnt be funny in 1st year of hs either tbf

[bronze summit]

Sigma sigma boy

[plush wren]

fuck scoliosis

[neat flame]

quite the opposite for me i had to study everything from the internet cause our chem teacher was so slow

[plush wren]

yeah that blows especially if english isnt your first language but ig it depends where ur from

[rapid quarry]

If half to two-thirds of my class in chem were Thanos snapped away, it would have been a lot better. But, that is also simultaneously my last chem class so o7

[plush wren]

im glad i only have chemistry this year

[rapid quarry]

The thing that is amazing with the math at my college is that I can swing over by and basically get free tutoring from TAs that are working on their masters degree in very math heavy topics. I ask a question and they can help. Also saw my former precalc teacher there helping out students in calc 2

[balmy tapir]

chem is both cool but i also hate it

[rapid quarry]

Moles, molarity , and molar mass

[balmy tapir]

i dabble with the nuclear variety of chem lol

[neat flame]

is it just me or does physics feel easier than chemistry

[balmy tapir]

oh it 100% is

physics is just applied calculus with some real world facts

[neat flame]

so much memorization in chemistry my brain starts to explode

[balmy tapir]

chem is a bunch of fake bs that you cant even see and then it just happens 😭

[neat flame]

yeah lol

[rapid quarry]

Don’t get me started on those molarity dilution equations. They will be the death of me.

[random gyro]

what 😭

[edgy marlin]

Cause its like 1000-1400 msrp for a 5080 but a used 7900 xtx goes for like 700-800 but am not sure what would be better to go for

[plain cypress]

we do not because it isn't out of embargo yet

[plain cypress]

any leaks are pre-release drivers and not necesarily final performance

[edgy marlin]

When will the embargo be lifted

Is it only after release

[plain cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/google-exists-google-search-it-geekboy-geekboy-cz-gif-25933207

[plain cypress]

typically review embargos are 1-7 days before product sales

[empty quartz]

[edgy marlin]

The embargo for the 5080 says Jan 30th which is unfortunate (release day)

What are some good mini PCs? It doesn't need a dGPU but would ideally have 16GB+ of ram and 1TB+ of storage (though i'm fine with upgrading either manually if there isn't one with both requirements satisfied at a low enough price point), the cpu can probably be low-medium end

The 7900 xtx sold already which is unfortunate but anyhow I am running a 360hz 1440p oled monitor and will primarily play stuff like fortnite

[hoary agate]

does anyone see a difference between the red and black standoffs other than color

[south arrow]

Ive seen some hit 100k hours still lots of possible life left if lucks in your favor. Ofc they seem like theyve done their part

[vivid pendant]

5080 is fine

[latent pasture]

camp ur nearest micro center so u get the $1k one

[vivid pendant]

Incorrect

[edgy marlin]

So a 7900 xtx won't be able to raster 1440p 360hz low settings on fortnite probably

[severe dome]

one might be tapered on the inside? might be just stock photos but I'm aure its AM4/5 vs whatever intel is using these days

[vivid pendant]

Microcenter WONT have any founders editions

[gleaming rose]

what the fuck is this shit man

[edgy marlin]

Oh the aibs have ones that fit

[midnight plank]

I have just installed new ram which is 3600 mhz but my motherboard can only go up to 2993 mhz is there a way to increase that number or do I have to buy a new motherboard to get 3600 mhz?

[vivid pendant]

It should do it on low

[south arrow]

I hatee ai adds always so cringes

[vivid pendant]

Microcenter will not have any founders editions on launch

[edgy marlin]

P much I plan on a family member going to micro center and camping while I'm at home refreshing pages to buy the GPU. Cause I either need a fe, gigabyte sff, or MSI shadow sff

[cinder raptor]

Have they ever? 4000 FE was only at best buy

[vivid pendant]

They have had a few here and there but never at launch really

They sell out like instantly lol

[vivid pendant]

You need a bot

Your not getting it refreshing

The 40 series sold out in 4 seconds for founders world wide online

[midnight plank]

just installed new ram which is 3600 mhz but my motherboard can only go up to 2993 mhz in bios is there a way to increase that number or do I have to buy a new motherboard to get 3600 mhz?

[hoary agate]

I’m just seeing if I can use my 1151 standoffs on what I’m planning to upgrade to (am5 or am4 if I suddenly become even more poor)

[edgy marlin]

I made a script to constantly ping the site and once its in stock add to cart. And then I manually check out ofc.

[vivid pendant]

Yeah uh the bots auto checkout

[south arrow]

We all gonna be up early refreshinggg

[vivid pendant]

You need to set it up to do that too

[edgy marlin]

BestBuy doesn't hold an item in cart for like a minute once its in there?

[formal sonnet]

Many of these Ultra Small Form Factor (USFF) / Micro series systems from Dell, HP, or Lenovo are good options. They've got plenty of power (even if they're a few years old) and sip power when not under heavy load, making them great if you're looking for something to start homelabbing with.

[south arrow]

Youll go to checkout and itll say oops sorry 😦

[vivid pendant]

No

Whoever presses buy first gets it

That's why nobody got founders at 40 launch

It was all bots dude. You need your script to auto check out and buy it in 1 second

[vivid pendant]

Even then they might refund you days later saying it was out of stock lol

[south arrow]

You just have to be up and there

[edgy marlin]

Does BestBuy have any anti botting measures like captca. Cause Its not hard to just add a browser puppet to my script

[vivid pendant]

Look. Founders edition is not the bwst

[south arrow]

They do limit to 1 or at least they did here

The 5090 has had high temperatures for its memory

5080 uses same cooling solution

[vivid pendant]

That doesn't stop bots

[dawn tundra]

man i wish i could trade my 4060 for a 5070ti

[vivid pendant]

The AIB board partner cards, run faster, have lower temps, and use less power. And are easier to get

[edgy marlin]

Oh I'm saying that so I know whether or not to add a anti bot solver to my script

[peak knot]

none of those are guarunteed and use less power is straight up false

[vivid pendant]

Less power in idle/different configs and still perform better. More power at stock but better performance even then

[vivid pendant]

I saw a chart where 5 different cards were locked to 575 watts. And the founders still was the worst performing

So less power for the performance in that case

[severe dome]

I always keep my coolers accessories.

[vivid pendant]

Add it Incase

Also make sure you have gigabit internet sub 10ms ping

[edgy marlin]

And how does newegg fare on botting

[edgy marlin]

Already got that one

[vivid pendant]

0% packet loss

All websites suck with it

[edgy marlin]

Got fibre internet 1000/1000

[vivid pendant]

Remember the traffic on that day

Your ping to the general Internet of 10ms won't be the same as the ping to the website

That could be 100-300.

[edgy marlin]

My script can currently ping the site 15 times a second, but I can probably up that

trying to get PC ready for Windows 11, quick question.

TPM is on and working
System disk is GPT
BIOS is set to Legacy, Secure Boot OFF

If I hop in my BIOS, set to UEFI mode and then turn ON Secure Boot...

that shouldnt mess anything up right?

Why was the bios ever set to legacy anyway

What hardware is this?

What was wrong with it?

[grizzled nova]

As long as you don’t have bitlocker

It would be on the drive you have windows on

[peak knot]

[grizzled nova]

If you didn’t enable it you shouldn’t have it

[quaint pulsar]

I remember years and years ago bricking my pc when trying to enable UEFI on a previous build and I couldn’t get into windows lol

Will double check but pretty sure that is something I didn’t enable

can someone help me identify the cause of my pc crashing

[grizzled nova]

If you give me specifics I can try

No guarantee I’ll solve as I don’t know everything (yet)

[hazy timber]

my pc froze for a few seconds, my screens went black, then after like 30 seconds the sound from the game i was playing turned off
but the pc's rgb was still on
i unplugged it and plugged it back in and after turning it back on its fine

if it helps at all it couldve been some strange shotcut i pressed as i was typing as it happened

[grizzled nova]

It seems like your computer is switching resolutions while in dedicated fullscreen mode

Or you’re alt tabbing

[south arrow]

Seeing this as a common issue but no fixes even dudes using a brand new gpu getting downclocked ill keep digging myte find somethin

[hazy timber]

100% it because the game is aoh3 and i was alt tabbed and its in full screen

[quaint pulsar]

ty!

[hazy timber]

thanks @grizzled nova i just wanted to make sure it wasnt an issue with like my gpu or something that i'd need to do something to prevent

[grizzled nova]

I don’t believe so

That usually happens if you alt tab in dedicated fullscreen mode and the fullscreen is in a lower res than the monitor

[vestal cobalt]

Do i have to download my wifi cards driver before it can access the internet Σ(Ｔ▽Ｔ;)

[grizzled nova]

Such as upscaling

[grizzled nova]

I replied to the wrong thing

[hazy timber]

i have 2 moniters that are both different resolutions

[grizzled nova]

Shouldn’t cause it

I have that too

You could try running borderless windowed or windowed fullscreen mode

[hazy timber]

sadly for some reason the game doesnt have this option

its a solo dev and he released the game in basically beta

[grizzled nova]

Dang

[hazy timber]

it lacks alot of features from the msot recent game in its series

Ive dealt with much worse

[frosty oriole]

Anyone here know about modding a Steam Deck to have 32 GB?

[south arrow]

Just looking out I've had my share of goofs lol

[empty quartz]

Not that simple

[frosty oriole]

I know that, lol. I was wondering if the BIOS for 32 GB also allowed for SoC overclocking.

[formal sonnet]

Super easy. Purchase a 32GB 2230 NVMe drive, then install it into the Steam Deck.

[drowsy flame]

I have a serious question. The Apple silicon iPad’s could basically destroy a steam deck if there was actual games you could run on them right?

[empty quartz]

Either way

Why even try modding a steam deck?

[south arrow]

Oh if you mean storage make it fat32 should be set

[frosty oriole]

From what I've seen, the Deck takes nicely to it. There's shops that offer the service and with a 6-month warranty. It also sees a 2X performance increase in RAM-limited scenarios.

[frosty oriole]

Because 16 GB is a little restrictive.

[empty quartz]

Or… just get a more powerful system

[south arrow]

Oh then yeah the statement I deleted stands I wouldn't touch the ram

Stutters and gpu degradation is bad ofc you're your own person ❤️

[frosty oriole]

I don't see how it would cause that, it actually reduces stutters.

[empty quartz]

Its a console

[south arrow]

And if you do so I do wish lots of luck

[frosty oriole]

It's a PC, lol. Plus, it crashes on actual "Steam Deck Verified" games because it doesn't have enough memory for some of them.

[drowsy flame]

Good feelings coming from Jeffery Bezos

[empty quartz]

Then close background apps

[frosty oriole]

With only the games open, it still crashes.

[south arrow]

You can but if you brick your steam deck it's going to feel bad

[empty quartz]

That doesnt sound like a memory issue

[random gyro]

yay

[frosty oriole]

It is, I've seen multiple software report in multiple games that memory usage goes to about 18 GiB, then the game freezes and crashes.

[empty quartz]

You’re the only person ive seen with this issue

[south arrow]

https://youtu.be/R2hvSL30Rlg?si=-ipP9UZtDDgSiddY

While it's a cool thing to do the bios will need adjusted to use it on any system

[frosty oriole]

Ah, well, I'm the only person for a lot of things.
Anyways, here's my most played game being benchmarked with stock LCD and OLED models, and an LCD model with RAM upgraded to 32 GB.
https://youtu.be/c1mJShc2lLc?t=127

[thorn pewter]

Wait so it it only had 64 MB of ram??

[pulsar root]

is anybody able to access slickdeals.net with firefox?

[south arrow]

And it is glorius

[pulsar root]

cant seem to figure out why my firefox browser is not able to lol

[south arrow]

The 128mb mod can be used for like 4 games but barely and the 256 is just to say you did it but takes alot of bios work

[thorn pewter]

But even then did any game really max out the 64 mbs of ram

So adding extra ram is literally useless

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, a console would not actually see any benefit from extra RAM, as the games are designed to specifically use the amount of RAM the system normally has.
The Steam Deck, being a PC, does see a noticeable and significant benefit, especially for my use case.

[south arrow]

For that one yuss

[south arrow]

Depending on how difficult it is could be really cool, I just don't want to tell you it's easy then you get greifed

[thorn pewter]

But for akimbo, I think it will help, but would be a pain to set up

[frosty oriole]

It's pretty straightforward, I'm just curious what the BIOS allows for.

[south arrow]

That will fs take a deeper dive

[frosty oriole]

Ye, which is why I'm asking around. It seems like the 32 GB RAM BIOS allows for memory overclocking, but I want to make sure it also allows for SoC overclocking, too.

I go from 14 FPS to 28 FPS in Helldivers 2 when overclocked.

[thorn pewter]

What

How

[frosty oriole]

CPU gets pinned at only 15W, but at 18W, it can actually breath. Improved memory speed and timings also significantly helps the 1% lows.

[thorn pewter]

My system that I use in there could get 70+fps in 1440p high, which uses DDR3 ram and an Ivey bridge CPU??

[frosty oriole]

And the GPU?

[thorn pewter]

Titan XP

2017

[thorn pewter]

Ik it's hell bottlneckd by the old CPU artitucture, but in the steamdeck?

[thorn pewter]

I thought you were talking about the steamdeck,no?

[frosty oriole]

If I could use even more power, it'd be less bottlenecked. Helldivers uses both the CPU and GPU equally, so they fight over who gets the power.

[frosty oriole]

Yes, the Steam Deck's GPU is similar in performance to the 1050.

Overclocked, it's almost a 1050 Ti.

[thorn pewter]

Yeah, but the screen is a tiny 800x900 I think, so not even 1080p

But it also has a newer and better rdna2 artitructure

[frosty oriole]

There's also going to be a little bit of overhead for Proton, even though that's normally negligible.

[thorn pewter]

Yeah

Tbh I am really excited for a new build am going for, al.ost planed out everything, but it is going to be the biggest upgrade I have

[frosty oriole]

Ay, nice what are the specs?

[thorn pewter]

Leme pull up a pcppl

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QKb28Q, i have the monitor and os btw

might get smthn better than a 4060 tho

[south arrow]

Should be a pretty good build and if you can float it

Used 3080 mayhaps, or you mean like a 4070

[thorn pewter]

yeah

in the mean time, i might sell my titan and with the 4060 money get a 4070ti

[south arrow]

Could and then ofc if willing to wait the 5070 will be around eventually

[thorn pewter]

yeah, but i find one,

this is that the current gpu i have is abt 350 usd, so the 4060 is abt 300 usd, so that is 650 usd , plenty for a 5070

[south arrow]

No worries though whatever you get let us know and hopefully it's a good deals

ofc, try opening an administrator command prompt window and try using sfc /scannow (attempts to repair corrupted windows files) and chkdsk (looks for disk corruption)

[raw plover]

Nvm it's found a workaround by plugging the ssd into my phone and doing it there

[thorn pewter]

But am nervous as heck knowing that I'll be getting am5 somewhat around now, and then a few years later am6 comes out and am on the past gen, ik zen6 will be on am5 but idk, that's my only caviot

[bronze summit]

Being ninja in a souls like is so fun

[thorn pewter]

Ik am5 will be still good, just the that it will be old gen in around 3 years from now really makes me consider

Hey now

Wait a darn second

Also chat is this real

[rigid fjord]

i wouldn't trust it personally

[tidal geyser]

Also its a ryzen 8000 apu that is missing the whole point of being a apu

[hoary agate]

That’s fair

I could probably get a 5700x and keep my ram for cheaper (new motherboard too)

[tidal geyser]

Hard to rec spending anything on am4 if you do not already own it

[verbal prawn]

So it's a 7500f with less cache

[quartz wagon]

What is the best 1tb ssd which is money worth?

[rigid fjord]

sn580

[bronze summit]

I have to get a bigger SSD for more games to install

[tidal geyser]

If you are in the US a klevv c910 is a good pick

[rigid fjord]

about an r5 5600 performance roughly

[quartz wagon]

My main only support x3.0 though

[tidal geyser]

Pcie is backwards compatible

You can use a pcie 1.0 nvme m.2 ssd in a pcie 5.0 slot

[edgy holly]

its quite funny

also sup peyton

[quartz wagon]

Like the klevv c910 pcie x4 speed is about 5000mb/s, while my pc only support about 3500

[left dove]

ohio

[tidal geyser]

It's not, just get the c910

[left dove]

I was literally about to step away to make midnight mac'n'cheese

well I'm mildly intoxicated with mimosa, hungry, and I need to be up in about 10 hours

Overall - I'm doin' okay

How u doin'

[edgy holly]

ryzen 7 9700X and Radeon 7800XT good option for a £1200 build?

[rigid fjord]

7700x + 7800xt the 9700x isn't worth it over the 7700x

[elfin night]

im just future proofing with 9th gen

so i can spend a little bit more and be good for another 2 years

[elfin night]

only issue is with the b650 for 9th gen it needs a bios update and idk whether i can do it with the 9th gen or if i need to buy a 7th to update it

[true stirrup]

There is most likely a bios flashback button on the motherboard

So you can update the bios without needing a CPU compatible with the current bios version

[left dove]

Updoot, mac came out

[elfin night]

ah alright great

now question is, white pc or black

[left dove]

which goes with your overall theme

[elfin night]

im doing whole setup revamp cuz im moving house either way

[left dove]

go black, easier integration with earthy themes

[elfin night]

wdym earthy

[spring flame]

Why is my Samsung blu-ray thing powered with JAVA

[left dove]

google earthy colors

[elfin night]

lmao fair enough

[elfin night]

java best lang bro trust

[spring flame]

Yeah but this is a bluray player

It’s meant to play movies

Not Java games

[left dove]

integration at the time, also probably whoever was the lead product engineer at the time decided that the client-side software be done in java because that's what they knew best at the time

at the time at the time at the time I am very redundant

I'm going to eat this deliious pasta and then pass out

[edgy holly]

mac update ?

[left dove]

the cheesy pasta

[edgy holly]

goodnight peyt

[spring flame]

But like why though

[edgy holly]

oooh, have a nice meal and a nice sleep

[spring flame]

This isn’t supposed to do anything other than play movies

[left dove]

because I am intoxicated and wish to eat carbs

oh

[spring flame]

Then do that

[edgy holly]

then eat

and sleep

[left dove]

honestly idk, there's always some weird software package with external dvd/bd devices

[thorn pewter]

When

[spring flame]

I have never used this btw

[left dove]

idk the microcode could be java or some part of the firmware

[true stirrup]

Because Java is an awesome language

It can be used literally for anything

[thorn pewter]

Are you doing business/office work

If not

Then don't get the csm one

Simple

[rare musk]

[plush wren]

counter strike 2 sucks

[thorn pewter]

Whatareyoutalkingabout??

[thorn pewter]

Take that back right fucking now

[plush wren]

No

[thorn pewter]

Yes

[plush wren]

valve hates movement

[sharp sapphire]

their only 10 Usd difference in between them what should i go , building pc for gaming and vidoe editon g

[thorn pewter]

Go with the non Csm

Won't impact

[edgy holly]

i mean tis counter strike

you expect to be allwoed to bunny hop or sum ?

[plush wren]

why are there community servers then

[sharp sapphire]

actually CSM is cheaper should i go with CSM than ?

[thorn pewter]

Yeah

Literally won't impact preformance

[sharp sapphire]

ok thnaks buddy you the best 🙂

[tidal geyser]

Both you should not buy

Have you considered am5?

[sharp sapphire]

i need budjet white mobo for i7 14700k

[tidal geyser]

Do you already own it?

[sharp sapphire]

alreayd bought the i7

[tidal geyser]

Dam

[thorn pewter]

It's not that bad

[sharp sapphire]

what cpu than ?

i can cancel

[thorn pewter]

Wait so you don't have it physically then

Ok good cancel that

[sharp sapphire]

need cpu for gaming and edting

[tidal geyser]

Well there is the ryzen 7 7700

[sharp sapphire]

no bought onlien i can cancel it

[thorn pewter]

What?

[tidal geyser]

He placed a order

[thorn pewter]

Oh

[sharp sapphire]

i bought cpu from amazon i can cancel it and go for amd than \

[thorn pewter]

Yeah

[sharp sapphire]

suggest me cpu better than i7 14700k

for gaming and edtign

[tidal geyser]

Well what gpu will you pair it with?

Also do you have a pcpartpicker list?

[sharp sapphire]

gpu i already have 3080

[sharp sapphire]

no

[tidal geyser]

Then for gaming the cpu will not matter

[sharp sapphire]

i am designer mostly working on after effects and maya

what cpu should i go

[tidal geyser]

R7 7700 should be plenty

[sharp sapphire]

and a white mobo for 7700

[tidal geyser]

You can also ho for a r9 7900

[tidal geyser]

I would recomed you make a pcpartpicker list

[sharp sapphire]

ok

[tidal geyser]

[tranquil cipher]

I have bought this ram once in 2022, and last week bought this ram again.
Is there a chance it wont be compatible together, for example because of different years periode?
Or is it my motherboard that doesn't support 4 sticks even tho it has 4 slots?

Reason why I'm asking is, when I got the second 2x8 kit, I turned off my pc+psu and installed the other 2 sticks so I had 4 installed. Since I had installed the new ram I started getting game crashes for no reason (as in, no game stuttering or frame drops). I also started getting multiple blue screens out of no where when only running some programms in the background like discord, apps for mouse/keyboard etc.
What I think is the reason for the game crashes is my CPU being at 100% (for a longer time). because it has to work more for the ram to run? If this isn't a thing, I don't know what else it could be.
I this could be the case and it just needs more power, I could add a nother 4 pin cable for powering the cpu, altough as from what I have heard that is only the case for if you were to overclock.
I have heard that sometimes the ram doesn't work if the bios is outdated, so I have updated it to the newest version that is out.

I'm running the newest version of Windows 11 (Type: Home OEM).

RAM: https://www.megekko.nl/product/2046/1063418/DDR4-Geheugen/Corsair-DDR4-Vengeance-LPX-2x8GB-3200-CMK16GX4M2E3200C16-Geheugenmodule
Motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/nl/Motherboard/Z690-UD-DDR4-rev-1x#kf
CPU: Intel i5-12400f (if purchase year is needed, 2022)

[livid fern]

That kit is likely c-die again

[true stirrup]

try to turn off XMP

[livid fern]

So old one is also Same kit?

[tranquil cipher]

did, didnt work/help

[tranquil cipher]

yes

[tranquil cipher]

what exactly is c-die?

[livid fern]

RAM die
Worst die available for ddr4

[lapis condor]

RAM that doesn't quite like to exist

[tranquil cipher]

:/

[lapis condor]

Hey, C-die ain't thaaat bad
I know AFR is significantly worse lol

Just can't do super low primaries and can't do over 1.35V
But also tends to give up near those volts

[livid fern]

i know afr hates voltage and temp

But c-die can degrade at 1.35v(not usually) tho. Wasnt afr 1.4?

[livid fern]

Drd is 22*
C-die

Trfc ns is fuck face

[tranquil cipher]

its C-die (spanning means voltage)

or worse if that's with 1v or 1.2v

[livid fern]

hehh volt dosent really mean thats c-die or s8b. Could you send cpu-z spd pic

?

could be that new kit is bad and needs RMA

[tranquil cipher]

where can i get that?

[true stirrup]

Or install HWInfo64 and just check like this

[livid fern]

A way. Sadly hwinfo64 dosent go too deep

[tranquil cipher]

I currently am not at home (so cant reach my pc) if its okay, ill tag u guys when i can with this info?

[livid fern]

Yes

[true stirrup]

I mean it gives quite a lot of info

[gloomy sleet]

yummy numbers and letters

[true stirrup]

also I need to tune this better it's very mid rn

[tranquil cipher]

but like, some people had told me corsair keeps changing the version thoughout the years, and it could also be the newer ram is a different version that cant work together with the old one?

[gloomy sleet]

what the fuck does this actually mean

[livid fern]

Timings

[gloomy sleet]

looks like someone just assigned numbers to banging their head on their keyboard

[livid fern]

Oh i meant manufacturer and week

[livid fern]

Xmp stock timings

[gloomy sleet]

do any of those abbreviations actually stand for something

[livid fern]

Easy one

[vivid pendant]

you guys know how the msi godlike and the asus rox x extreme boards have all the connectors on the right sidde of the motherboard coming out at a right angle. any other boards have this?

[gloomy sleet]

or are they just a ram manufacturer inside joke

[true stirrup]

ah yeah you need CPU-Z for that

[true stirrup]

yes they do

[vivid pendant]

this sort of clean look all connectors on the right, anybody else have this?

[gloomy sleet]

sure

[lapis condor]

tCL is CAS Latency, or Column Address Strobe latency
RFC is Refresh Cycle
CWL is CAS Write Latency
...etc

[livid fern]

@gloomy sleet buildzoid has a video Abt it. He explains what any of them does

[true stirrup]

holy is that actually your ram?

[gloomy sleet]

really couldn’t make this a tad bit more simple

[lapis condor]

FAW is Four Address Window
Blah blah blah

[lapis condor]

But you don't need to know what the timings are or what they mean
For all except tREFI, lower is better

[gloomy sleet]

fair

[livid fern]

@gloomy sleet u have ddr4?

Trp is 20

[lapis condor]

I think I have vsoc set incorrectly because it's slightly not stable

[true stirrup]

How to you even learn how to ram tune well? Just a lot of buildzoid videos?

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[charred sundial]

Hello #tech-chat-1

[shell arrow]

The pimax vr 12k is crazy omg

[shell arrow]

Prolly released in 3 years

Would be crazy for vr since like a triple 39 inch monitor setup is like 3k

And it would be like 3k

Also 240 fov goddamn

[lapis condor]

Trial and error

Knowing how to ram tune is kinda just knowing what timings go where and a vague idea of which instabilities are a result of what (for example what errors in testmem5 can mean what)

[steel umbra]

buildzoid timings should work if you want them tighter

but most difference will be in trefi and cl

trfc

these will gib the most performance

the rest matter less or barely, but ideally you want them all atleast somewhat tight

[true stirrup]

Yeah I guess
Last time I tried I got nowhere so I just reverted to one of the MSI MemTryIt profiles
I guess next week when I have more time I will actually try to tune my ram to something actually better

[lapis condor]

Oh those profiles which are notorious for not being stable?

[true stirrup]

it works fine for me rn but ofc I want to tune the ram myself because yeah MemTryIt isn't that good

only running the 6000MT/s cl30 profile rn on my 6000MT/s cl36 ram but that probably doesn't even make a difference

[frail delta]

[true stirrup]

the 6400MT/s cl32 profile works as well if I remember correctly

[rigid fjord]

lemme guess, a series of coils around ferrite rings

[frail delta]

Or just a chunk of metal glued in so people think there’s something worthwhile in there

[rigid fjord]

yup, just so it has a little weight to it

[lapis condor]

But your CPU may hate that

[steel umbra]

what’s this even supposted to do according to the manufacturer/vendor?

[frail delta]

Make the audio more betterer™️

[rigid fjord]

can't be tighter than a nun

[true stirrup]

I didn't get any errors while running it so I guess that's fine?

[rigid fjord]

[boreal vine]

it’s the same card innit

[frail delta]

You have to place it at the IEC! I wonder if it includes flights to Switzerland

[rigid fjord]

literally screams ferrite ring with coil wrapped around

that and possibly a capacitor in line also

[frail delta]

I like how they said “over 1000mV” instead of just saying 1V

[gloomy sleet]

cost 5 cents

[rigid fjord]

gotta make it sound larger than it is

[steel umbra]

why not 1000000µV

[gloomy sleet]

big number

someone calculate the markup of that

it can’t be over £1 to make surely

[tired hawk]

big number neuron activated

[rigid fjord]

because people wouldn't understand what a microvolt is

[steel umbra]

i’d actually rather there not be anything inside that “device”

[rigid fjord]

many can barely understand what a milivolt is

[gloomy sleet]

i prefer terravolts as my unit of measurement

[rigid fjord]

a low pass tvi filter, similar to what would be designed as an audio filter @steel umbra

eyoo, anyone aware of synology whether its smbd process is capable of multithreading? I was doing two simultaneous copy jobs from it and just one core was saturated at 100%

does multithreading only work with smb multichannel over multiple NICs?

It’s an 8 port gigabit switch :)

The motherboards I’m getting are gigabit so everything will be gigabit except for my internet connection

You need to use two connections from the NAS to a switch

it probably also deepkeeps

Heya, last night my girlfriend was playing marvel rivals and I noticed something weird about the GPU. It’s a Gigabyte Aorus Elite 3060 12GB with 3 fans. I noticed that only two of the fans were spinning. Is there some sort of mode on these cards where the last fan only turns on when needed or is it a bad fan on the card?

[tidal geyser]

no

[robust trail]

[tidal geyser]

unless its overheating do not worry about it

[drowsy flame]

Not overheating, chilling at 55° C under load

[frail delta]

Out of curiosity, are you using the IP of the NAS or a domain when transferring

[tidal geyser]

then its fine

[robust trail]

I am running the 70b version on an m2 ultra. It is very slow.

and it tells me what it is thinking... too much

[drowsy flame]

The RGB on that fan isn’t turning on either, is there a way to change it so the RGB still works at least?

i'm accessing the share over smb://synoFQDN/path/to/share, if that answers your question

Try using the IP of the NAS

try openrgb

It could make a slight difference

errr.. yeah, one time, or maybe one per file (i doubt that tho). i'm transferring huge files, and the transfer rate doesn't increase. also, one core on the synology is 100% saturated with smbd proccess. so I don't think it is DNS this time. despite the fact, that it usualy IS always DNS (insert meme here)

well its more up to the program but going for the r9 9950x will be the better move for most if not everything other then video editing

[tidal geyser]

make it not external

[frail delta]

Ah, I was thinking tons of small files

[wooden forum]

wow, that is mind-boggling

[tidal geyser]

not really

[wooden forum]

it is domain integrated, indeed

[ripe spire]

What’s the best way to wake my pc, from shutdown, without being on the same WiFi as my pc so I can wake it from anywhere in the world

[frail delta]

Thanks Microsoft!

[ripe spire]

Without saying port forwarding as my dad doesn’t trust me to tinker with router settings

[tidal geyser]

WoL

[frail delta]

Quality software

[ripe spire]

But it doesn’t work over the internet

[frail delta]

Don't turn it off

Or a smart plug

[ripe spire]

😔

[tidal geyser]

nano kvm

[ripe spire]

Is there no other way

[ripe spire]

What’s that

[tidal geyser]

im trying to find it as i think thats what its called

[ripe spire]

I googled it and it makes sense but how would I even buy one

Bc that would just let me wake on usb device ig if it acts as a keyboard

[tidal geyser]

https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/sipeed-nanokvm-risc-v-stick-on

[tidal geyser]

as always aliexpress

[frail delta]

Yeah it thinks a lot

[thin plover]

there is if you wanna spend money

[ripe spire]

How so?

[tidal geyser]

going to take a while

[tidal geyser]

i just showed him how

[thin plover]

https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/expansion-cards/ES03-WiFi/
by buying this and installing it in your pc

[thin plover]

this is a different way

[frail delta]

That still wouldn't give them remote access :)

But why do you want to turn on your computer remotely anyway

[tidal geyser]

can you do it outside the house?

[thin plover]

wdym? it connects with an app on your phone that allows you to turn it on anywhere

[thin plover]

as long as your phone has an internet connection yeah

[frail delta]

[thin plover]

the device connects to 2.4ghz wifi and you can tell it to turn on through an app

you basically add the device between the power button and the pins on the motherboard

[ripe spire]

Does this work if for example I’m in France and my pc is in the UK still

[tidal geyser]

should do that

but i would rather go for the nano kvm at that point

[frail delta]

But why do you want to turn on your computer remotely anyway

[tidal geyser]

well to be able to turn it on remotly

[thin plover]

yeah, I use this in combination with parsec. Only thing is parsec might not open yet if you're on the login screen

[frail delta]

But why

[tidal geyser]

like when you are in school or something

[frail delta]

I see no point

[tidal geyser]

or on vacation

[ripe spire]

If I tell u, ur gonna hate me 😭

[frail delta]

why

[tidal geyser]

i am trying my best but there is not a lot of reasons

[thin plover]

my parents are divorced, and i only have a proper pc at my dad's house so when im at my mom I play games remotely

[ripe spire]

That makes sense

[tidal geyser]

i just moved my pc between houses

[frail delta]

Just leave it on 😌

[plush wren]

[thin plover]

my dad doesn't want that for the power bill, and this is pretty convenient anyway

[tidal geyser]

what 15w more

[thin plover]

and the monitors

[tidal geyser]

computers are really efficent ya know

[plush wren]

it adds up

[tidal geyser]

what?

[ripe spire]

This is cool and all but literally, where does it say to buy it

[tidal geyser]

you do not need to have the monitor on

[thin plover]

good question

[tidal geyser]

google.com

[thin plover]

i dont wanna turn off my monitors every time i leave

[frail delta]

Why do you need the monitors on?

[tidal geyser]

aint it the press of one button

[thin plover]

yes

[plush wren]

how often does bro go from uk to france

[thin plover]

but i'll forget i have turned them off and wait ages for them to turn on

[tidal geyser]

are power prices that bad

[frail delta]

I pay 28¢ AUD/kWh

[tidal geyser]

why not just use a power strip you can turn off and on and at the press of just one button both monitors turn on or off

[ripe spire]

Me? Not often, but it’s to emphasise the question of whether it will work if I’m not at home

[ripe spire]

Yeah ik I can’t find it

[frail delta]

Plus a ~215¢ daily connection fee

[plush wren]

[thin plover]

cuz my wifi booster is connected to it too and then it'd take ages to boot up and i'd have no internet on my pc

[plush wren]

daily connection fee

[frail delta]

For electricity. It's a thing here :)

[thin plover]

it was pretty hard to find for me too

[plush wren]

quality

i mean our electricity distributor is in deficit

[ripe spire]

Where did u find it

[thin plover]

on amazon a while ago i think

but I had an older version

[ripe spire]

How long ago

[thin plover]

uhhh

cant find the date but it must have been more than a year ago

[ripe spire]

What other motherboard things could I add that could be fun to play with

[median warren]

Screens

[ripe spire]

I have the MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI

So I think it has a few pcie expansion slots? IIRC

[thin plover]

you have a similar device like this that works with a little remote but that only works if you're in close proximity

[charred sundial]

Crazy what website

[median warren]

Screen

[ripe spire]

I don’t understand this message

[thin plover]

theres a device you can put in your pc that lets you turn the pc on with a little garage opener remote

[median warren]

A remote that can control things on the pc whilst you're nearby

[thin plover]

but it only works if you're close

[ripe spire]

Ohhh

[thin plover]

like this works with a remote

[frail delta]

https://www.omnicalculator.com/everyday-life/electricity-cost

[ripe spire]

One of these is obviously taken up by my graphics card so, what could I use the other ones for

[frail delta]

Omni Calculator is great for being lazy

[charred sundial]

That’s crazy

[thin plover]

extra ssd's, more usb's, capture card

[charred sundial]

This looks like the thing that opens my garage

[thin plover]

or a 10gbps port

[median warren]

2nd gpu, no sli, only so it looks cooler

[ripe spire]

Thanks for the suggestions

[thin plover]

or a sound card

[ripe spire]

||Ig I won’t be adding anything then bc I already have 4.5tb of ssd’s, I don’t use all my usbs and have no need for a capture card||

[ripe spire]

What does this even do

[thin plover]

lol

[median warren]

A screeeennn

[frail delta]

An add in IPMI card since you seem to like using your computer remotely

[ripe spire]

On my motherboard?

[thin plover]

better sound quality than the realtek device built into the mobo

[median warren]

Nah just like a screen that plugs into your motherboard and you can put it anywhere in the pc

[ripe spire]

Oo does this let me power on my pc from shutdown from France

[median warren]

It's just purely because it looks cool and gives you +aesthetics points

[ripe spire]

Hmm lmao

[frail delta]

If you wanted to port forward, yes

Or with a client to site VPN

[ripe spire]

I don’t think my headphones r good enough to relay that better sound quality tbh

[ripe spire]

How do u even do this, this is just a different type of router tinkering isn’t it

[frail delta]

Correct

[median warren]

If you had good headphones you'd also probably get an audio interface instead anyways

[thin plover]

maybe invest in better headphones instead of cool gimmicks that you'll barely use

[median warren]

Buy a 49" monitor

[plush wren]

monitor or tv

[median warren]

Yes

[ripe spire]

Well it’s bc I couldn’t find any headphones that matched the features of my current ones 😭

I like having both the transparency but also noise cancellation

[thin plover]

transparency mode on headphones for your pc?

if i wanna listen i just take it off of one ear

[ripe spire]

Yeah so I can hear if someone comes in, my chair is facing away from the door and I don’t like being jump scared, but equally when everyone’s in bed I quite like noise cancellation

[thin plover]

oh

maybe build a device in your room that gives a pc notification if the door opens

[plush wren]

greatness

[ripe spire]

That’s a funny idea

[frail delta]

Horrible feng shui

[rigid fjord]

doable with ras pi or just using a web came and motion tracking

[thin plover]

yeah

[frail delta]

Or just move the desk...

[plush wren]

[rigid fjord]

or, nerf darts that are plastic tipped with a point and if door opens they get triggered off and fired at the person trying to enter

[ripe spire]

I have a lot of these

[frail delta]

Lock the door?

[ripe spire]

A lot of effort

[ripe spire]

No lock, and it’s also not “my” room

[plush wren]

bros the laziest person in the world

[frail delta]

Less than jerry-rigging some fucking turret

[plush wren]

😭

[rigid fjord]

welcome to humanity

[plush wren]

[ripe spire]

I have that one nerf tank yknow

[grim pasture]

Is the r7 8700f good?

[ripe spire]

This thing

[minor sleet]

Not really

[lethal bay]

It’s one of the CPUs of all time

[robust trail]

its a NVDA bloodbath

[lethal bay]

it’s a psychobilly freakout

[ripe spire]

Hey I have one of those

[minor sleet]

What happened now?

[lethal bay]

someone ate a 5090
