[wispy thunder]

first world issues:

not everyone is a data hoarder like you yk

[covert torrent]

well i have 3tb and i'm doing just fine

[strange atlas]

I'm not data horder those are assets i created for work

[wispy thunder]

there you go

[clear walrus]

I only have 6tb of samsung 990 pro 😭

[nimble frigate]

Is reflex 2 out?

[covert torrent]

homework folder is on there 100%

[strange atlas]

Rich behaviour

[wispy thunder]

justified data hoarding is still data hoarding

[clear walrus]

ssd? nvme?

[tidal geyser]

nettwork drive

[clear walrus]

ah makes sense

[wispy thunder]

I know plenty of people whose only computer is a laptop with a 500gb ssd, they live just fine

[strange atlas]

What would you want to get from your old windows? what should i look out for

[tidal geyser]

i have a few that are only 120

[strange atlas]

why does first place look like that

if its 4 drives how is your case looking like

[clear walrus]

all nvme too

[tidal geyser]

its nvmes

[strange atlas]

HUH how is that possible

[strange atlas]

how

[clear walrus]

all 990 pro too

[tidal geyser]

i dono skill

[strange atlas]

There is only one nvme slot in motherboards no?

[steel umbra]

This is why you should also not cheap out on extension plugs, cables soldered not so well soldered and the switch came broken, it turns on under vibrations or over time

[clear walrus]

[tidal geyser]

o no, poor soul

[clear walrus]

1. There is a lot more than that
2. There is other ways of adding nvme bescides in a motherboard slot
3. Nuh uh

[strange atlas]

[tidal geyser]

there are motherboards with 5 nvme slots

[strange atlas]

is that with people adding it through graphics card in pci slot

[clear walrus]

no you stick it in the ram slot

[covert torrent]

checkmate

[tidal geyser]

pcie

[strange atlas]

Huh is that costs much i might try to get one

[tidal geyser]

pci and pcie are very different

[tidal geyser]

not really on amd without doing pcie slot to m.2

[strange atlas]

i mean they look same

[tidal geyser]

no not at all

[strange atlas]

you mean no way for amd

[clear walrus]

This guy DEFINENTLY bought an alienware prebuilt from bestbuy

[lapis condor]

What

[tidal geyser]

not in the us

[strange atlas]

i know how it looks

[lapis condor]

There are x870e boards with 5 m.2 slots

[tidal geyser]

o yeah the dual pch thing

[lapis condor]

There are x670e boards with them too

[tidal geyser]

well i thought about full speed on em all

also its 2am i really should go to sleep

[steel umbra]

o

five times??

[lapis condor]

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#H=0,5&K=0,10&E=5,7&sort=price&page=1

In fact, here's a list of all of them

[strange atlas]

i have one small pci e slot thats all

[clear walrus]

I still have 1 more open on mine. Should i get an 8tb nvme for shits and giggles

[strange atlas]

can you even plug m2 into that small slot

i dont know how it works

[clear canyon]

big sad

[lapis condor]

No

[tidal geyser]

well i would hope you would be able to plug a m.2 into a m.2 slot

[clear canyon]

atx better for pcie slots

[strange atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-gorilla-sad-annoyed-gif-4090982112237695569

[lapis condor]

PCIe x1 is not an M.2 slot

[clear walrus]

just put it in the ram slot

[clear walrus]

dimm to nvme adapter

[strange atlas]

yea i know i was talking about those extensions

[strange atlas]

i know the original slot

[lapis condor]

Only Asus boards have DIMM.2 things

[tidal geyser]

o well adios

[clear walrus]

oh wait shit

wrong thing lol

[clear walrus]

this thing lol

[strange atlas]

is that a ramhuh

[lapis condor]

Ysee what's funny is that's unsupported on nearly every board

[clear canyon]

thats stupid

[strange atlas]

oh thats sad

[clear walrus]

i know but its finny to look at

[lapis condor]

Oh wait no, I just saw what it is

That's for sata drives only

It's using the RAM slot for support only lmao

[strange atlas]

I have gen 3 m.2 slot on my motherboard should i get gen3 m2 or just get gen 4 for future

[lapis condor]

Get whatever it really doesn't matter

[strange atlas]

i havent had m.2 in my life does it actually worth it

over hdd or slow ssd

Other than booting windows

[clear canyon]

100% worth it

[tidal geyser]

Gen 5

[steel umbra]

Gen 6

[strange atlas]

is that out already

[random gyro]

@true stirrup bruh

[tidal geyser]

Not just yet

[rapid quarry]

Skill issue

[tidal geyser]

Am6 will defo have pcie 6.0 and ddr6

[strange atlas]

i'm still not sure what will it change over harddrive

other than booting something faster like 1 more second

[lapis condor]

Boots everything in less than 10 seconds

[tidal geyser]

At times less then a minute

[steel umbra]

aslong amd doesn’t pull an amd on their platforms too

[lapis condor]

Running any pc off a hard drive in this day and age sucks ass

[strange atlas]

my hdd boots everything i've tried under 20 seconds i think

its 7200rpm still looks like a chick

[lapis condor]

Then an nvme SSD will do that in 2 seconds

[strange atlas]

its tempthing though not gonna lie i'm thinking of booting rdr 2 in less than 10 seconds

[steel umbra]

yeah, and mid range gen 3 vs mid range gen 4 nvme that’s going to be 0.1 second difference

[random gyro]

ng7 dlc+ btw, beat him already

[steel umbra]

no need for quik nvme when all you do is gaming and browsing

[strange atlas]

My cousin bought pc for 1000 dollars a few months ago now he gets something again for 1500 dollars

What a difference in lifes man i'm here coping with second hand

[strange atlas]

I wanted to build a good pc for once in my life finally i achieved but at what cost

[junior valve]

[devout sparrow]

usb 3.2 don't spend a ton on speed, thunderbolt i think is 2200 mb/second

[strange atlas]

[worthy sage]

I'm just saving, I have made 240$ out of the full 800$ for my PC within 3 weeks just sitting and my desk

[strange atlas]

Since i was born we had pc in the house but i was always buying parts/pc's 2-3 maybe 4 generations back of those parts it kinda bothered me after 22 years it snapped off and i bought it all in a day with dept money

[dim tartan]

done that, didnt work

it just loads

[clear canyon]

you dont seem to be good with money if you are in debt and buying a pc

[worthy sage]

Don't ever do this again, that's one of the stupidest decisions you will ever make in your life.

[strange atlas]

Yeah i'm not most of the times i'm on the edge of not being able to make it out for the month :d

[junior valve]

i3 6100 + 8gb mystery ddr4 , full build for 38$ good or bad deal?

[frosty oriole]

You could argue any sort of loan or mortgage is debt, but yeah, bro...

[worthy sage]

Pay debt get stuff nice

[worthy sage]

Yes

[whole garden]

[clear canyon]

so you are putting yourself deeper? thats super fucking dumb

[worthy sage]

Idk Abt the i3 but the ddr4 is some of your money back

[junior valve]

[strange atlas]

Man i dont care anymore i just wanted something that i could enjoy

[worthy sage]

Oh 💀

[strange atlas]

but i cant enjoy though pc stutters like hell i'm trying to format the os right now

[worthy sage]

Wait what

[junior valve]

what

[worthy sage]

Stutters???

You used your DEBT money on a PC that stutters -_-

[strange atlas]

its like 3 years of same windows apparently thats a no go

[clear canyon]

that does not justify that you are now deeper into debt

[strange atlas]

i'm not in big big dept only one salary worth of dept

[worthy sage]

...

[junior valve]

try installing more ram

[worthy sage]

Dawg

[clear canyon]

you are a stupid person

you need someone responsible in your life to deal with your money

[strange atlas]

um it should be enough

[clear canyon]

what did you spend on it

[strange atlas]

okay dude this is starting to be too much though i get it you are trying to be helpful but kinda harsh words here

[random gyro]

dude went to debt buying a ddr4 build

[strange atlas]

I live in turkey

[random gyro]

if ur gonna be in debt at least buy a 5090 system at least make it count

[clear canyon]

bc you are acting SUPER irresponsible, its deserved

[junior valve]

2 4090 looks better

[whole garden]

How much are you in debt?

[random gyro]

on an x870e board

[strange atlas]

I mean what do you expect to have fun with in a government that taxes you for even breathing? you gotta have fun some time

[random gyro]

USA does that too and im not in debt

[strange atlas]

you cant even go outside everything is so expensive

there is a thing that life quality that is not in this country so i'm trying to create a space that is livable

[junior valve]

specially with a stock cooler

[random gyro]

usa taxes just as hard thats a dog shit excuse man

[strange atlas]

Man you have no idea about turkey i'm telling you that

everything is dollar based and we get paid 458 dollars a month

does that seem normal and everything has at least %40 tax

[wheat torrent]

I bought my pc with a bank loan

[strange atlas]

14000 turkish liras and we get paid 17k a month

[random gyro]

well thats a lie, minimum tax bracket is $900 usd and sales tax is 18-20%

[clear canyon]

thats also stupid

[wheat torrent]

best decision ive ever made

[clear canyon]

you gotta pay that back and then some, that stupid

[strange atlas]

Oh there is a thing that you pay tax for everything you buy there is lots of things like KDV and all

[wheat torrent]

0% rate, paid it back in a month, using that exact computer

[random gyro]

yeah we pay tax for everything too...

[strange atlas]

Like for phones how much tax do you pay

if i'm not wrong its %44 tax in turkey

[junior valve]

they have taxes?

[random gyro]

turkey is 48.9% cheaper than the usa

[strange atlas]

Maybe not in other countries but in turkey yes

[strange atlas]

for you all

[random gyro]

well no its 18%, sales tax in usa is 7% (for my state) however in turkey stuff is much cheaper

just say ur shit with money bro

[junior valve]

ima pair the i3 6100 with this weird cooler i found

[strange atlas]

for buying brand new iphone you gotta give 6 times of your salary without spending a dime just to get one

this is how much tax there are

and how expensive things are

[strange atlas]

in america its like 2 salaries if i'm not wrong or even maybe one i dont know

[junior valve]

weekly?

[strange atlas]

monthly obviously

[random gyro]

dudes saying salary like its yearly

[trim gyro]

US salaries are quite high compared to the rest of the world

[random gyro]

usa is also much more expensive and currency is better

[wheat torrent]

1143 USD, in US it seems like you can get new one for 400

[random gyro]

iphones are shitty in many countries

[wheat torrent]

true

[junior valve]

400$ gets u a used 14 pro max tho

[strange atlas]

New iphone 16 is 99.999 turkish liras we get paid 17002 turkish liras a month do your math

[random gyro]

and your dumbass is trying to buy an iphone in Turkey 🤣 everyone knows the iphone market is shit there

[strange atlas]

I'm not trying to i'm giving you a math to check how much tax there are

mate you are tripping

[random gyro]

theres an 18-20% sales tax

[dapper light]

dont buy an iphone

[random gyro]

also here is the turkey tax bracket

so youre saying you make less than 18000 lira

[wheat torrent]

big if true

[strange atlas]

%44.4 tax for phones

[junior valve]

so half a year worth of salary for an iphone 16?

[strange atlas]

i'm not freaking lying mate why would i

[strange atlas]

yes almost its like 5.8 months

[steel umbra]

Does this look like fire hazard?

[strange atlas]

not sure but if i'm not wrong its only %44.4 and a dollar is 34.4 turkish liras so "17950tl "part seems wrong

[wheat torrent]

thats the msrp, the 1000 dollar

[strange atlas]

Most of the people does get 17.002 turkish liras yes if you dont know we have millions of refuuges in turkey thats why everybody even turkish people gets bare minimum salaries

[junior valve]

i dont think so

[steel umbra]

16A 250V rating

[random gyro]

so why the fuck are you looking at an iphone 16 if youre on minimum wage? 💀

[junior valve]

i say normal ,

[clear canyon]

dude is awful with his money

[random gyro]

im saying

[strange atlas]

Cause i'm showing you the cost man i'm not freaking buying a iphone 16 obviously i'm showing you how much things costs out here

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/erdogan-putin-ice-cream-ijsjes-creme-gif-24974059

[strange atlas]

Tell me something else and i can still tell you how much its cost

[random gyro]

doesnt matter turkey is cheaper than usa

ur shit with ur money idc what you have to say if youre going into debt to build a pc then idc

[wheat torrent]

94 USD for i5 9400f

[strange atlas]

it was the most obvious reference cause almost in everywhere there are iphones

[random gyro]

outside of the usa most people use android based phones 🤣

[strange atlas]

with your making of money sure but not for turkish people

[wheat torrent]

I live in Republic Of Moldova, price of living is way cheaper than USA or any other country. I paid 200 USD for 32gb of ddr4

[steel umbra]

it was doing this before i fixed it, one of the springs mechanisms clearly got messed up

[wheat torrent]

tech shit and poor country doesnt go hand to hand, it works differently

there is different tax for that kind of shit

[junior valve]

i smells quality

[strange atlas]

if you go out in your town or something wont you find somebody using iphone?
Dont you have a apple site that shows you apple prices

[wheat torrent]

you can buy cheap clothes in turkey tho

[steel umbra]

yesss

[strange atlas]

Its same everywhere,

[frail delta]

What a fantastic generalisation

[strange atlas]

But i agree with this there are pirate clothes everywhere

[wheat torrent]

people here in Republic of moldova get bank loans to buy iphones

[strange atlas]

its cheap even for us you can get like sweatshirt for 600 turkish liras

[wheat torrent]

a huge precentage of people have iphones, even though they cant affoard

[strange atlas]

its also same here its 6 months worth of money for it

[random gyro]

im in the usa ofc i will lmao

[strange atlas]

man its same for real

[wheat torrent]

yep, its not uncommon to get a 6-12 month loan for a laptop or phone

[strange atlas]

its like showing of your wealth or something

[random gyro]

iphone market outside of the US and UK and places like that is extremely small

[wheat torrent]

usually here you can get 6-12 month loan on 0% rate

[strange atlas]

it feels dumb for me but i dont care they do themselves i dont care

[junior valve]

psu i found for 3$

[random gyro]

Mf i'm telling you you are weird it didnt have anything to do with me its the country i told how everything works in this country you cant even understand what i'm saying either not trying to understand it

[random gyro]

[junior valve]

[strange atlas]

[wheat torrent]

133% price increase

[strange atlas]

I showed you proof man stop yapping already

[wheat torrent]

I am picking any tech products and there is minimum 30% price increase in turkey

[random gyro]

yeah because youre being a dumb fuck and showing iphones which have an extremely small market in turkey instead of showing a normal phone like an s22 ultra which is $400 in turkey

[strange atlas]

i think blocking you is better idea i wont try to show you things more cause conversation gets more dumber and dumber you cant understand what you are looking at

[wheat torrent]

where 400 dollar?

[random gyro]

fuck you and your shit ass country get a better job instead of bitching about prices

i’m worried about the switch not being 16A capable @junior valve
this just looks like fire hazard imo

[random gyro]

i saw 1 link, probably was something else, my fault

[strange atlas]

Yeah its 1200 dollar he probably looks at phones that get together with trash parts

[random gyro]

youre still talking instead of going to work and fixing your debt that you went into for your pc 🤣

[random gyro]

this looks too complicated for my brain to comprehend? what is it?

[steel umbra]

16A 250V rated extension cord switch

JL-K-1 TUV rated

[random gyro]

i assume thats bad?

[steel umbra]

it doesn’t look like it has enough contact for 16A

[strange atlas]

Can windows 11 media creation tool make boot flash drive or i should just download rufus and do it

[random gyro]

yes

[steel umbra]

well, it’s atleast TUV rated ig

[random gyro]

oh i forgot mr "ima go into debt for a pc" blocked me 🤣

[steel umbra]

i’m skeptical about the contact and the switches breaking and i’ve received one brokey one

[wheat torrent]

you caaaan but make sure your pc supports tpm

[steel umbra]

on my extension cord

[random gyro]

I got some 151 I have to post at some point was trying to get the set but to expensive now

[random gyro]

No this is the virtual one u won’t get killed over it

[south arrow]

Hit the alakazam, zapdos, and something else a trainer

[steel umbra]

repackaged or entirely fake

[devout sparrow]

second

the 1st if its done, likely had all the good cards removed so might as well be 2

[steel umbra]

does the method of tearing them apart still work?

to find out

there should be some sort of ink looking thing inside

and no solid foils

[random gyro]

There’s been fake packs since 98 ☠️

[strange atlas]

either servers are bad or my internet is under too much load right now

[simple nacelle]

can anyone help me find a laptop

selling my desk top for one and just wanna use it for school work and to play cs2

[thorn pewter]

get a w11 laptop within a 500 usd budget or a lil more of of ebay and make sure it has a good dgpu, nothing too crazy should run cs2 just fine

[random gyro]

MacBook or thinkpad for school is the best

[thorn pewter]

mac for gaming?

plus way too expensive

and for school work, lots of programs are windows only too

[simple nacelle]

im also in the military so i can get a discount

but yeah no mac books i like windows

[random gyro]

Most schools use website or docs tbh

[random gyro]

Yeah thinkpad

[simple nacelle]

not looking for crazy fps on cs 2 just literally wanna play when bored

best buy has some like discounts i was looking on the px website too they have some good prices but i have no clue about laptops

[bold sage]

Should I pick up a 7900xtx? Currently running a Rex 3060 and honestly not to hyped about the 50 series

[clear canyon]

thats a good upgrade

[thorn pewter]

yes

[limpid ivy]

worth it

[thorn pewter]

honestly if you hate yourself, buy a 50 series card tbh

i dont like the 50 series cards

[random gyro]

I lost my save 💔

[thorn pewter]

they are basicly ada 2.0

[clear canyon]

unless its a 5090, thats the only decent card

[random gyro]

YES

[thorn pewter]

yeah, but even then 2000 usd but realisticly 2400 usd for a card that only dose abt 30 percent better than last gen

[clear canyon]

im talking about the vram

[limpid ivy]

lol funny thing a 5090/any 90 series gpu fits perfectly into the realm of what I do. Next pc build when that time comes

Managed to almost max out the 20gb on my 7900xt so far so there is that.

[thorn pewter]

yeah, sucks that vram on the 50 series card other than the flagship blackwell is not good

[clear canyon]

lmao, i want more vram for ai stuff tbh

[clear canyon]

ikr

[thorn pewter]

8 gigs for 5070 is not enough

[swift moss]

I wonder if there are any custom vram bioses for 3070ti

[thorn pewter]

modern games easily take 12 gigs at idk 1440p

[clear canyon]

yes, thats why I dont have a 4070ti anymore

12 gigs SUCKS

[bold sage]

Awesome, so how well have amd cards come? A friend of mine had a rx 580 and it gave him a bunch of issues to the point where he switched to nvidia for good

[limpid ivy]

Been dabbling into that for fun with my spare 3070/2060 rig.

[thorn pewter]

16 gigs or more should be the industry base standard for modern gpus, shouldnt even be for high end ones too

[clear canyon]

i have a 3090 iv been playing with for ai

[limpid ivy]

When I was testing out a 4080 super rig it was fun seeing that being used within seconds.

[clear canyon]

ikr, my 4080 can do vram light stuff but 16gigs gets used quickly

[thorn pewter]

especially with dealing with running llms

[clear canyon]

yeah, thats why the 3090 is awsome, I want a 2nd one

[quaint pulsar]

holy fuck i got windows 11 installed, finally

[limpid ivy]

On the upside I had more vram to let my racing sims I play use. 3070 was limiting me.

[quaint pulsar]

all the secure boot TPM mbr2gpt shit oh my god lol

[clear canyon]

yeah, 8gig sucks for basicly everything

[limpid ivy]

I do need a new case though.

it's not fitting any of the new gpus for how fat they are

[gleaming rose]

just showed my dumbass cat how it feels to be woken up by him in the middle of the night

[swift moss]

I'm still coping lol

[limpid ivy]

The hellhound 7900xt is fitting in there merely if I remove one intake fan.

[gleaming rose]

he was sleeping so i threw my robe on top of him like a net

[strange atlas]

is it possible to deactivate hdd from bios

[swift moss]

Trauma ahh moment

[quaint pulsar]

i did this yesterday, it took a secc

[swift moss]

Unplugging it is out of the question?

[strange atlas]

yes if i unplug the cable its not possible to plug it in

[swift moss]

Hmm

[storm jasper]

Can I trust Aula keyboards

[junior valve]

how good is this psu? couldnt find any information abt it anywhere

[frank spindle]

Wait hold the front door

[gleaming rose]

why... why would you not be able to?

[frank spindle]

A 3060 has more vram than a 3060ti??

[clear canyon]

yes

[strange atlas]

Can i just unplug the cable from motherboard

[frank spindle]

What the fudge

[storm jasper]

Just asking if I can rely on them for good performance

[frank spindle]

I assume its faster vram then

[swift moss]

The SATA cable? Yeah sure that works too

[gleaming rose]

you can say fuck here

[storm jasper]

Cuz they look super cool while being quite cheap

[gusty wagon]

I just installed my subwoofer! :3

It's some YST-SW515

[frank spindle]

I cant bring myself to such a low

[strange atlas]

But will it damage my hdd since it will have the power cable

[storm jasper]

Ur on discord

[gleaming rose]

i can :3

[gusty wagon]

Woah wtf its a 1k sub

[gleaming rose]

"fuck it we ball"

[frank spindle]

Ive beeb using discord for many a year

[gleaming rose]

just buy it and see

[swift moss]

Turn PC off, then unplug, also unplugging running drives isn't inherently bad

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/supra-reface-gif-22186860

[storm jasper]

Exactly, when you join discord you enter a level of low that everything else doesn't matter

[frank spindle]

Do they still make 40 series GPUs or are they all discontinued now?

[frank spindle]

Fuck it youre right

[strange atlas]

No i meant like if pc is off and i plug out only the sata cable from hdd and power cable of hdd still attached and i start pc again and use it like that

Will it damage my hdd

[storm jasper]

They still make the 4060

And 4070

[swift moss]

Not really, it will just increase the motor hours as if it were working normally, it will just not transmit any data through the sata bus

[frank spindle]

Imagine buying a 4060

[storm jasper]

Frrrr

[frank spindle]

My 3060ti solos

[storm jasper]

Get an RX 7600 16GB OC instead

[frank spindle]

Im looking to upgrade for my birthday in like a month

I want a 5070ti but yknow scalpers so fuck me

[storm jasper]

Spec list of ur PC

[frank spindle]

7800x3d 32gb 6000mhz ram uhhh yea

Built it myself a few weeks ago but took my old gpu from my prebuilt

[strange atlas]

Okay im trying i hope i dont lose my files they are important

[storm jasper]

And ur still using an RTX 3060 ti 😭

[frank spindle]

Ik its overkill but it was a microcenter deal lolol

$600 for am5 motherboard, 32gb ddr5 ram, and a 7800x3d

Like lowkey pretty fire deal

[frank spindle]

Yea got my $300 gpu with my $450 processor type shit

I got a pc with a ryzen 7 5800x and 3060ti for $1600 in 2021 or 2 i forgot

[strange atlas]

Hell yeah they solled me graphics card with coil whine sound i just realized

[storm jasper]

I want a peaceful 1st time build which has an RX 7800 XT, R5 7600, CL30 32GB, 750 watt psu and an MSI A13 240 AIO cooler

[frank spindle]

Cuz my old pc literally fucking blew up and all my parts got fried

[strange atlas]

Fans were so loud i didnt even hear it

[clear canyon]

that all do it

[storm jasper]

Also 5tb of storage

[frank spindle]

I have a 2tb ssd which is so much better than 1tb

[storm jasper]

Puny

[frank spindle]

1tb had me TWEAKING sometimes

[storm jasper]

I want 3tb of fast NVME storage and 2TB of HDD storage for non-game files

Cuz I need to do some video editing

And coding type shit

5tb seems a bit small though

[frank spindle]

What gpu should i get chat

[storm jasper]

Tbh if I go with just 2TB NVME I could go with a R5 9600

[storm jasper]

RX 7900 XTX

[frank spindle]

I dont speak amd

[storm jasper]

Why?

[frank spindle]

Idk their gous lol

[storm jasper]

😭

[frank spindle]

Whats the rx 7900 xtx compared to nvda card

Is that lile 4080ish

[steel umbra]

E tier, group regulated, iirc unknown gauge, no OTP, mtbf iirc only rated at 25c, unsure if it has OCP on all of the minor rails

[storm jasper]

It's basically a competitor to the RTX 4080 super

[frank spindle]

Oh cool

Whats the price

[junior valve]

what ocp

[steel umbra]

over current protection

[frank spindle]

Looks like $850

Isnt that basicslly 4080super at that ppint

[storm jasper]

But it's better

In terms of raw performance and VRAM

[steel umbra]

anyways, it’s aliexpress/cheap thermaltake tier psu

you should avoid it ideally

[junior valve]

can i use it as a test bench psu?

i usally test 4090s , 780ti and 1080

[steel umbra]

that is not recommended with high wattage parts

[junior valve]

i3 6100 with random gpus

its 25$ new

the psu

[steel umbra]

if you don’t already own it don’t buy it

[junior valve]

i already got it , just wondering if its better than no brand 650ws

[storm jasper]

@frank spindle

[steel umbra]

do you have any other 650ws?

[junior valve]

no , just a rm850x

currently in my main build

[tidal trail]

any idea where i can get a single phanteks t30 for under retail?

[granite sundial]

the only reason to buy the 7900xtx was it was a cheaper 4080, but the 4080 super is cheaper than the 7900xtx

[steel umbra]

what are you going to exactyl test on the psu? which cards

[junior valve]

780ti , 1080 , gt430 , hd2600xt and a 4090 tuf

[storm jasper]

Is PC flipping a sustainable source of income?

[tidal trail]

no

[steel umbra]

i’d not put a 4090 on it no

[storm jasper]

Chat is this 65 dollar keyboard worth it?

[left dove]

could be, dunno

[steel umbra]

it’s worth $45 at most

[clear canyon]

it sounds good, but idk. look it up on yt

[storm jasper]

Is aula an unknown brand?

[steel umbra]

no

[left dove]

It could be, but I dunno

google might know, those reviewers might know

[steel umbra]

recent aula keybs are decent, but that one is not worth 65

you should be able to get it for cheaper

[storm jasper]

Is the Redragon Horus better?

[left dove]

maybe!

[storm jasper]

Not you peyton

I'm asking the guy who knows stuff

[left dove]

too bad, you're on an open forum

[storm jasper]

Smh

[clear canyon]

https://google.com

[strange atlas]

Huh they changed windows installation no way

It was always same

[junior valve]

what abt the gigabyte p750 gm , those are pretty cheap for high wattage

[left dove]

also #peripherals

[steel umbra]

C tier

[left dove]

is that not the grenade model

[junior valve]

how abt the corsair cv650?

[steel umbra]

was yes

[steel umbra]

why not invest into a lasting psu?

[junior valve]

im broke

[steel umbra]

you have a 4090 no?

[junior valve]

its a half alive / dead 4090

[strange atlas]

@tidal geyser i installed it into my crappy ssd its so slow man like at least 1.5 times more slower than my hdd

[steel umbra]

what happened

bought a broken one?

you could get it fixed btw

for like $300-500

[junior valve]

found a broken one listed for 200$ , screen blacks out with weird stuff happening

dots , lines

could be a mining gpu

[steel umbra]

have you tried flashing vbios?

[steel umbra]

unlikely

and even if most miners take good care of cards, more than gamers on average probs

[junior valve]

yes , still the same thing

its a decoration for my setup now

[steel umbra]

get it fixed then it’s worth it

if it’s not a damaged core or severely damaged pcb

[junior valve]

it looks fine ig

[south arrow]

That's rough :/

[empty quartz]

@south arrow my silly lga 775 system :3

[strange atlas]

Wtf is this new windows installation you can play games on it

[empty quartz]

Yes, that is ddr on an lga 775 board even though most websites say 775 is ddr2 to ddr3

[steel umbra]

send it to a repair shop tbh

[tulip beacon]

What are the differences between these two mounts?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7NY5TSY
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B72D88KL

[south arrow]

At least it all looks in good condition should serve you for many more years hopefully

If not just to abuse

[junior valve]

amd mount on intel?

[mellow shadow]

Any suggestions on how to take a 24 pin?

This thing won’t come loose

I’ve pressed the latch and it’s like 20% the way out but I can’t move it anymore

[keen vector]

Rtx 4060 or Rx 7600 I want to stream also and play at 1080p
What is better ??
Both are same price at my area so what is better?

[vivid pendant]

i got me a 5090

[mellow shadow]

Post it

[junior valve]

wiggle and jank

[mellow shadow]

This system is already pretty jank

[junior valve]

wiggle and pull

[mellow shadow]

I’ll try that for the 5th time

[ashen tangle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Sirhk/saved/MkKndC this is my friend's actual pcpartpicker build

I think that he should change up the cpu but whats ur guys's thought

[worthy sage]

Yo how do I know if I need one of those wifi cards or not

[steel umbra]

do you need wifi?

[junior valve]

@steel umbra i found a segotep an650w what teir is it? couldn’t find it on the list

[worthy sage]

Tf you mean do I need wifi 💀💀

[steel umbra]

so yes?

[worthy sage]

Yeah 💀😭

[gleaming rose]

i mean its a valid question

[steel umbra]

that board doesn’t look like it has one

so you’ll need expansion

[gleaming rose]

i don't understand his response

[worthy sage]

Expansion??

[steel umbra]

sec

[gleaming rose]

when a motherboard and a pcie card love each other very very much

[worthy sage]

Will this work

@steel umbra

[gleaming rose]

yes but not well

[worthy sage]

Why?

[gleaming rose]

use a pcie card with wifi

[worthy sage]

Ok

[gleaming rose]

usb a isnt designed to deliver power, that will have shitty range and will be slow

[worthy sage]

Yeah I got it

[granite sundial]

ready to start buying hype

what the fuck why is the cheapest 4080 super now 1799

are the asus tuf cards worth paying a bit of a premium for?

[steel umbra]

couldn’t find much information for it so E tier

[granite sundial]

is there a tier list of gpu like skus or whatever u call them, like the asus rog ones are usually the most expensive and some of the best

[steel umbra]

just buy a lasting psu, 650w C tier to 750/850w A tier is like extra $40

[simple nacelle]

good deal?

[steel umbra]

looks ok

[simple nacelle]

ok

[ember inlet]

I kinda hate my fios router should i use my ubiquiti usg, or build an opnsense box and use that. it's for home use and i wanna have vpn usage. I dont have any ubiquiti stuff in my house. I wanna boot the fios thing it's garbage i dont trust it at all

[rocky warren]

should be 100 less

[rocky warren]

what exactly do you mean by you dont trust it

[steel umbra]

@junior valve

[ember inlet]

it's like 10 years old and i am not sure it's still getting security updates

going on 11 years

maybe 12

[steel umbra]

or atleast a C tier if you can’t afford a good psu

such as a650bn, xpg pylon, or some CWT GPW platform such as kyber

[rocky warren]

i like thermaltake smart series for budget psu

[steel umbra]

(b tier for kyber)

[ember inlet]

I got my ubiquiti usg for five dollars at a thrift store

[steel umbra]

thermaltake boom boom

[rocky warren]

only had one fail after 12 yeras

[steel umbra]

they silently switch platforms so thermaltake psus i’d personally not recommend, especially that their pricing is not that good rn

[rocky warren]

and isnt the smart series A tier

single rail A tier

[rocky warren]

so you're gonna switch to usg and add like two APs?

[steel umbra]

toughpower*

[rocky warren]

i had the toughpower 430, thats the one that lasted 12 years lol

i think?

[steel umbra]

that’s not toughpower*

and 12 years is not good

[ember inlet]

maybe but idk if opnsense is better for my needs. that's what i am tryna figure out. i've got hardware that should be great for runnin opnsense but idk if i should do that or use the usg that i already have

[rocky warren]

try the #networking chat

[ember inlet]

It's for my house and i just want good security and vpn support because im doing some port forwarding and stuff

[rocky warren]

if you arent doing anything crazy i dont see a need for opnsense

[steel umbra]

most of smart series are E tier

especially the cheap ones

[rocky warren]

idk i personally runt he rm850

[steel umbra]

and also i would watch thermaltake as they were caught swapping platforms/components inside psus without any name change

a downgrade.

[gusty wagon]

what

[steel umbra]

yes you hear right

in their upper mid end line they were swapping manufacturers around (downgrading) without informing the user

from hkc to ce-link

[empty quartz]

nope

@steel umbra is this enough gpu's?

wait

i just noticed that my igpu supports rebar lmfao

[steel umbra]

no

more

[livid escarp]

I kinda wanna build a low end pc just to mess around with

[empty quartz]

@steel umbra omw to run 3dmark on a gpu from roughly 18 years ago

[steel umbra]

i recommend universe sandbox for the maximum damage

[high elm]

bro is 5090 stock just ass in the US or what

[clear canyon]

5090 is just expensive in general

[scarlet dust]

Hi everyone. I’m very new to pc gaming, however I need a portable machine for school as well so I got a laptop.

Currently I’m stuck between the

• HP omen 17 3080-16GB / 32GB RAM
• Legion 7 4070-8GB / 16GB RAM.
  Which one is better for long term usability?

[strange atlas]

I just upgraded my system to win 11 but dns doesnt work how can i fix it

[clear canyon]

the 1st one

[strange atlas]

Without dns i cant use most of the stuff i use i live in turkey

[clear canyon]

turn on DHCP

[high elm]

ok yeah its pretty bad

[steel umbra]

also, like only reasonably priced consumer top end die

there’s no 5080 ti

with more cutdown gb202

[strange atlas]

Its already on for ip

[steel umbra]

5080 is really just a 5070

renamed

[strange atlas]

But for dns i do it manually so it bypasses those turk site bannings

[steel umbra]

but whatever, nvidia has changed the name stack so

[clear canyon]

i need more info, send screen shot of your network settings please

[teal sinew]

5080 for $999 is the best value option in the 50 series stack

[clear canyon]

use a vpn

[teal sinew]

better value than 7900xtx/4080/4080s were as well

[strange atlas]

Cant log on to discord i need dns for it

[steel umbra]

5070 ti

[teal sinew]

naw

[scarlet dust]

So the HP OMEN is the better choice? Hmm… I’m getting mixed answers everywhere 😦 Reddit says legion is better, YouTube says omen is better. Reviews are mixed as well.

[steel umbra]

it’s slightly cutdown 5080

[teal sinew]

just spend the full grand and overclock it

basically a 16GB 4090

[strange atlas]

Too laggy

[clear canyon]

performance wise, the 4080 is better

[strange atlas]

Dns changing was working fine on win 10

[scarlet dust]

It’s the 3080 vs 4070

[clear canyon]

is it a correct one? and did you fill out the rest of the information?

[clear canyon]

oh, 4070

i misread it, sorry

[scarlet dust]

So 4070 all the way then. Thanks.

[strange atlas]

Yeah i also used it on the old one both cloudflare and google dns doesnt work

[clear canyon]

send screen shot

[left palm]

Doe this look bland?

[worthy sage]

WAIT this will fit Ryzen 5 5600x right??

[clear canyon]

yes

[worthy sage]

Oh thank bejesus

[strange atlas]

I cant log into discord cause i cant use dns discord is banned in turkey

[clear canyon]

use ur phone

[steel umbra]

it will explode, and your house will collapse from level 10 earthquake

[worthy sage]

The mobo will fit in this case as well with a 3070 TI 3 fan right?

[clear canyon]

dont forget it will summon 20 waves of zombies

[steel umbra]

you mean lawyers

[worthy sage]

Guys?

[clear canyon]

[worthy sage]

[clear canyon]

brother, have patience. and yes

[steel umbra]

just check the max gpu lenght of the case

[worthy sage]

How?

[steel umbra]

g o o g l e

very hard

[clear canyon]

https://google.com

[worthy sage]

What would I search up?

[clear canyon]

length

[worthy sage]

Uh

[steel umbra]

case model + max gpu lenght

[worthy sage]

Ok

Ty

So we should be golden correct?

@steel umbra

I'm officially on my build path 🥹

[steel umbra]

340mm space for a 3070 ti that’s plenty

[worthy sage]

Ok

[steel umbra]

i don’t think there’s any air cooled 3070 ti that’s even close to 340mm

[worthy sage]

🥹

Thanks bro

I really appreciate all you very smart nerds that can help dumb people like me! We appreciate you 🙏😊

[empty quartz]

@steel umbra do you happen to know how i would go about using a second gpu for display alongside my main

[scarlet dust]

@clear canyon 4070 145w good? With 16GB ram.

[clear canyon]

yes

[empty quartz]

Nvm

I gave up 🗿🗿🗿

I got excited at 3 pairs of boxers for 3$

If I were to ever make a monitor, I would give it a setting to invert colours, so you'd be able to independently invert colours of pesky applications and web pages that don't have a dark mode.

[trim gyro]

looks fine, if those are the parts that you want

[quasi field]

anyone know why this happen?????\

it was just working and i didn't do anything to the gpu... she was just playing marvel marvels and when i went to turn on the pc again it would only boot to the igpu

[trim gyro]

try reseating the GPU. Power off your computer, flick the power supply switch off, and remove the GPU from the pcie slot then put it back in

[granite sundial]

is a 9800x3d and 5080 prebuilt for 3300 aud/2000 usd a good deal

[trim gyro]

that sounds like a pretty high end computer. it could be good

[quasi field]

uh yea it is... problem is that mobo may be cheap or the psu may not be good enough

[high elm]

kind of yeah

[quasi field]

did that

i change out the power cables i think it has something to do with drivers

[trim gyro]

did you update your graphics drivers recently

[quasi field]

nope

i only ever turned off the pc went to bed and turned it back on

[trim gyro]

try reinstalling your graphics drivers using ddu

[quasi field]

i did

the gpu isn't dead its done this crap before

is tihis pc worth it

[trim gyro]

you can probably save about a thousand dollars if you built it yourself

but hey, at least it'll be professionally done

[short oak]

yeah

ive never built a pc also a 5080 that is actually available

[burnt swift]

okay, i need some help for a friend

buddy of mine got a pre-built with a 1tb NVME in it a while ago

[next zenith]

How much do you hate money

[burnt swift]

he comes to me with a problem: "my computer is running slow"

i'm.. speechless

what i'm asking is: can we merge D: and E:, then re-partition C: and D: to be 500gb each?

i've never done THAT kind of partitioning, and i don't want to fuck anything up

[trim gyro]

you can try to see if anyone has had the same problem on the web

[next zenith]

It's always the Chinese vendors who do that for like no reason

It's really odd

[burnt swift]

RIGHT???

[next zenith]

Truly

[burnt swift]

anyways, is the solution i came up with possible?

[empty quartz]

my fancy pcie 3 ssd (photo's 1 & 2) vs bog standard pcie 4 ssd

[next zenith]

Move it to the one partition, then shrink it via gparted

Presumably

[empty quartz]

the pcie 3 drive runs fucking hot tho

peaked at 72c

[next zenith]

Ideally you do it correctly in the first place

[burnt swift]

i may use aomei, i'm more familiar with it

hey man i'll build his next one

[next zenith]

That poor thing

[empty quartz]

its fine

ish

[next zenith]

Defo not

Normal NVME temp should be 10c less at a minimum

[empty quartz]

this is not a normal nvme

its max temp is also 83c

[misty sluice]

can someone like

help me

I just got this computer running again and now it’s got a password that i never set

removing cmos battery doesn’t work

[empty quartz]

try pressing enter

[formal sonnet]

You built this computer? Or where did you acquire it from?

[frank spindle]

Im back

That chart looks mad sus

[misty sluice]

it’s a hw computer, got it off ebay

[formal sonnet]

Gotcha. In that case, if attempting to clear the CMOS password doesn't work, you'll need to ask the eBay seller for the password.

[misty sluice]

I got it it’s okay

I figured out I had to move a jumper to get access

and clear all passwords

[tropic lynx]

what’s this

[misty sluice]

jumper

[tropic lynx]

guys could anyone help me

[tropic lynx]

It’s the second pcie cable

[empty quartz]

@next zenith heres what it looks like first of all

[tropic lynx]

It just happened yesterday morning, computer went very laggy and freezing. Unusable, I think the temps r too high cuz sometimes my monitor signal goes off too

[empty quartz]

@next zenith https://www.micron.com/content/dam/micron/global/public/products/product-flyer/2300-client-nvme-ssd-product-brief.pdf

[royal crest]

Wouldn’t I be able to access my pc from my laptop with a hdmi Capture card and update bios ?

[tropic lynx]

Choppy audio

[tropic lynx]

i think that’s normal , there also one hanging off for me

[iron glen]

do you have anything you can check temps with? nvidia overlay? amd afterburner or whatever it is, adrenaline iirc

[tropic lynx]

have u placed gpu in correctly

[iron glen]

3dmark works too

[royal crest]

Yea I’m thinking if none of my solutions are working I’m taking it to a repair shop

[tropic lynx]

I can check temps w nvidia overlay?

[royal crest]

My last hope is that I can access my pc with a capture card from my laptop

[iron glen]

yeah, alt + r

[tropic lynx]

Oh ok

I’ll do that

[iron glen]

i forgot what you have to set it on but it shows gpu temp

[tropic lynx]

If that’s the problem what do i do

[tropic lynx]

Advanced, i kinda remember playing with it

it was fine these past few days

[next zenith]

I don't see temperature info in there

[sharp narwhal]

Has there been any before and after benchmarking of the 4090 with the new nvidia app and driver and dlss update yet?

[iron glen]

ye, "went laggy" could be alot of things, could be slow internet, could be the game's server, probably more stuff it could be but i don't know them :P

[tropic lynx]

I mean whilst idle, my network wireless adapter didn’t even get identified

[next zenith]

Irregardless, it's too hot tbh

And it's Micron, so god knows what could happen to it

[drowsy flame]

Apparently a 12700f is around the same performance as a 7600X, interestinggg
