[random gyro]

good luck

[iron glen]

wut

[vernal lotus]

Guys should I get a 1080 ti founders for 240 usd

[latent dome]

the futureproofing is just me saying that i've only got like 8gb of vram rn, and the 4080 has 16gb, so i'd be set for longer. you don't think the upgrade is worth it either way?

[random junco]

heck no

[vernal lotus]

Why not

[broken saffron]

overall its a great laptop but i wouldnt suggest spending extra 1400 on it after trading

[random junco]

much better used amd cards

[vernal lotus]

There are no 3070s just 2070 supers and 3060 tis

[random gyro]

Guys how do I force windows to use iptables

[broken saffron]

also look at the heating issues. ive heard zephyrus heats up a lot

[latent dome]

thanks for the input

[vernal lotus]

Should I get a 2070 super?

[latent dome]

the 4080 has the vapor chamber which i heard doesn't heat up as much as the 4070 version

[random gyro]

https://tenor.com/b0B4T.gif

[broken saffron]

not sure about it but i think the design of the laptop itself has poor cooling

[ripe spire]

minecraft

[broken saffron]

@latent dome have a look at yoga pro 9i too

i think its better than g14/16

[random gyro]

[frank spindle]

Gpu market is so cooked

[random gyro]

Fiddler plus burp = oh well hello web site care to do do what i say reeeeeeeeeee

[frank spindle]

How is production still so bad

How can none of these companies meet demand

[bold sage]

Get a used 2080ti for around 300

[frank spindle]

Theyre all losing money

[random gyro]

because they charge a 300% markup and sheil it to normies

[broken saffron]

are they?

[latent dome]

only goes up to 4060, i'm trying to upgrade my graphics card

[broken saffron]

i think european models go higher, if possible you can try that

[latent dome]

which is a shame because i like lenovo keyboards a lot

[random gyro]

I'm selling the concept of security FeelBetterSec we make you think you are safe

[latent dome]

any good marketplaces to check those out?

[broken saffron]

yeah that laptop is a gem with the keyboard, trackpad, speakers, thermals

[strange atlas]

I found a buyer for r7 240 he wants me to take a video my question is if i take out my current graphic card rx 6800 and put r7 240 can i just use it

[broken saffron]

not sure, id recommend getting it through a relative or something otherwise it can be overpriced

its already at a higher price in europe i think (when converted to usd)

[frank spindle]

Scalpers selling high doesnt make them money

I think NVDA should iust charge 25% more for all their cards

[random gyro]

Im getting ai to build me a clone of tinychat

[vernal lotus]

Are the 20 series good??

[broken saffron]

that will make it worse for us lol

[frank spindle]

Not really

Theyre already 30-40% more expensive anyway

[strange atlas]

Im sick of getting electrocuted by the pc i want grounding so bad

[frank spindle]

Except the 3rd parties are making the money instead of nvidia

[random gyro]

Friends don't let friends use unfsafe vpn's use socks5 proxies not proton

[broken saffron]

theyre still gonna get scalped and then sold to us at even higher prices

[low abyss]

Guys, I have checked everything from my ram to motherboard to CPU, all of them are xmp compatible, still I can't find the xmp option in the bios

[frank spindle]

But at a cetain point you cant scalp as much because demand drops off

[random gyro]

check profiles

[low abyss]

How can I fix this

[broken saffron]

yeah i dont think demand is dropping off

[frank spindle]

Scalpers cant scalp if the 4060 is $700 msrp you feel me

[broken saffron]

pretty inelastic for gpus

[low abyss]

Profiles? Xmp profile? The option is just not appearing in the bios

[frank spindle]

I suppose

[random gyro]

what bios do you have does it look like that ?

[low abyss]

Yea I have ASRock motherboard too but I can't find that option of "load xmp setting"

[random gyro]

This is what google says
to enable XMP on an ASRock motherboard, you can do the following:
Restart your computer and press the key to enter the BIOS. This key is usually Del, F2, or F10.
Locate the XMP profile toggle.
If the toggle is off, switch it to On.
Save your BIOS settings and exit.
You can check if XMP is enabled by:
Going back into the BIOS and checking that the toggle is on
Checking the memory speed in the BIOS
Using Windows software like CPUZ to confirm the memory speed
XMP, or Extreme Memory Profile, can improve memory performance by overclocking the RAM. This allows for higher data transfer rates and improved memory bandwidth.
Explanation
Some motherboards don't support XMP, and some have speed limits.
The first XMP profile usually contains enthusiast settings, while the second profile contains more extreme settings.
AMD has its own version of XMP called EXPO, which is only available on the DDR5 standard.

[frank spindle]

Does amd even make 7900xtx’s anymore

[random gyro]

go to oc tweaker

[strange atlas]

Help graphics card is so big i cant pull the pin

[vernal lotus]

What do I get if I can’t get a. 3070,3060 ti

[random gyro]

it's in the oc tweaker

[vernal lotus]

There are none in Australia all are from USA

[low abyss]

I have watched almost all tutorials and articles online

[low abyss]

Yea

[vernal lotus]

.

[random gyro]

type this into command prompt systeminfo hit enter

[limpid dune]

they still do, yes

[random gyro]

then ask gpt

[limpid dune]

but they stopped production of the RX6600 like six months ago... and it's still topping the Newegg charts 🤣

[random gyro]

you will at least have your system specs

[low abyss]

It tells me to update bios 💀

[random gyro]

are you trying to enable the windows sandbox or something for virtualization?

[random gyro]

ok so update it

[frank spindle]

Well rip 7900xtx i guess, i cant find one but i can find an $800 4070ti super somehow

[random gyro]

what is the exact version of your bios

[low abyss]

No, my ram speed is stuck at 2666 tho max speed can reach 3200 both by mobo and CPU and ram

[frank spindle]

Ah nevermind its sold out fuck me

[strange atlas]

Man help 2x8 pins are not u pluggable from graphics card

[random gyro]

oh well then you need to uac bypass

[next hill]

I was scrolling and just learned that apple using nvme in phones, the heck. In the tiktok it said samsung using UFS 4.0

[low abyss]

What's that?

[random gyro]

I would ask someone who knows more about that try #1027757333117415424

[frank spindle]

How much do used 3060ti’s go for? $400?

[latent gull]

TikTok having false information 🙀

[bold sage]

How’s the xfx brand for amd cards? Currently that’s the only thing in stock for me

[vernal lotus]

WHAT GPU do I get if o can’t get a 3070 or 3060 ti

There are none in my country all that I see are from the us and have 50$ shipping

I found a 2070 super for 140 usd

[random gyro]

I made firmware for mah flippa now it's anonflippa

[frank spindle]

Thats probably fine

Idk the gpu market is so fucked rn

[random gyro]

Buy gpu parts from trusted sources like ebay rofl jkjk

[frank spindle]

Not as bad as 2021-2 though (at least yet)

[clear canyon]

For 50 series and 40 series

[frank spindle]

Yea

Modern cards are like gold rn

[clear canyon]

Ebay can be a great place to get 2nd hand parts

[clear canyon]

That's why I keep mine whenever I upgrad lol

[random gyro]

yeah if you want one that has been mined to heck and back or has dormant malware on it

I just don't like used parts like that

[frank spindle]

I wanted to upgrsde for my birthday in a few weeks but thats not happening lol

[vernal lotus]

How can a gpu have malware?

[frank spindle]

My 3060ti will have to hold out longer

[clear canyon]

Uh, no?

[latent gull]

Wild fear mongering

[random gyro]

A graphics processing unit (GPU) can have malware when it's used to store or execute malicious code. This can happen through:
Cryptojacking
Malware can use a GPU's processing power to mine cryptocurrencies without the user's knowledge
Keylogging
Malware can store keystrokes in the GPU's memory space
Hiding from antivirus
Malware can be stored in the GPU's memory, making it undetectable by antivirus software
Using CUDA
Malware can use CUDA, NVIDIA's API for parallel computing on a GPU, to run on NVIDIA graphic cards
How can malware affect a GPU?
Malware can impact the performance of a graphics card
Malware can cause a system to lock up or operate inefficiently, which can potentially impact the GPU
How can you protect your GPU from malware?
Maintain strong cybersecurity practices
Be aware of signs that your graphics card is dying, such as graphical glitches, strange fan noises, and crashes

[frank spindle]

The odds of that are very low

[latent gull]

Damn you sure are great at copy pasting

[random gyro]

I know

[clear canyon]

Wow you are paranoid, never had a mined card or what ever the fuck this is

[vernal lotus]

Lol alr ile get the 2070 super

[clear canyon]

Ebay is a great place if you do research before just buying stuff

[random gyro]

I've been on chats trolling ppl since 1999

[clear canyon]

No one is trolling

[vernal lotus]

Ye I brought a Asus turbo 3070 on eBay a few weeks back and I had to return it

[strange atlas]

God damn it feels good

i put r7 240 back in

which game i can test it

[frank spindle]

youll be fine

[vernal lotus]

So should I js buy the 2070 super

Rn ?

I had so many good deals on 3070s like a few days ago

But I was waiting for my refund to process from eBay

[frank spindle]

We’re cooked

[rigid fjord]

6000 cl30, or if you can, possibly 6400 cl32

[strange atlas]

if you want nvidia sure but amd side is cheaper and better in my country maybe you can also check that out

[vernal lotus]

I want nvidia for the cuda cores

[glass marsh]

rauko i made a list tell me if this is good

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/42YbC8

[strange atlas]

than maybe look out for 3070 its cheap

[rare musk]

then*

[strange atlas]

i always forget which one is which 😦

[rare musk]

try harder, u will get the hang of it one day

[glass marsh]

oh shit yea the 4080 supers are sold out only 5080s are there

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wMJXYd now its fixed

[rare musk]

used market has plenty 4080 supers brother

[rigid fjord]

the only things i'd primarily change is the ssd and mobo

[strange atlas]

By the way why does people want to get r7 240 in 2025

is it cause of 4 gb vram or something

its not even too cheap its 500 turkish liras

[frank spindle]

Looks solid but isnt that ram expensive?

[frank spindle]

For above msrp lmao

[tidal geyser]

FFS this is why you were so slow

[rare musk]

shit ass used market

[glass marsh]

yea

[rigid fjord]

for 64gb kit, it's on the lower side

[glass marsh]

i tried to get a lexar its sold out + its more expensive than 990 pro so

[frank spindle]

I got a 7800x3d, 32gb 6000mhz ddr5, and a motherboard for $600 from a microcenter bundle a few weeks ago

[glass marsh]

could u help me on the mobo bro?

[frank spindle]

Idk if thats still available though but its worth checking out

[glass marsh]

w

[frank spindle]

It is indeed a shit ass used market

When the used shit is above msrp you know the market is fucked

[glass marsh]

damn

[lost halo]

If I could get 6400 cl32 ram for the same price as 6000 cl30 which is the better buy

[rigid fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7GmjNz

[tidal geyser]

6000MT

[frank spindle]

$900 for a used 7900xtx with 27 bidders bro. Fuck this market

[glass marsh]

ahh thanks

[rigid fjord]

the 6400cl32, but it can be hit or miss for working with a zen5 cpu, which can tend to make the 6000 cl30 the better option

[tidal geyser]

did you mean am5

does it really matter na

anyways i hate power use and how expensive it is for some

[frank spindle]

Sold out

At least for all the stores within 200 miles of me

[rigid fjord]

nope, you got better chances with a zen5 than zen 4 cpu despite both being am5

still can be hit or miss though

[vivid pendant]

Apparently some microcenters are getting 5090 stock every 2-3 days rn

[tidal geyser]

ok yeah no 7900 XTXs are in stock for micro center

[tidal geyser]

what 10 units a week

[vivid pendant]

Around that lmao

[tidal geyser]

for like a 100k+ demand

[frank spindle]

Yea lol

[vivid pendant]

Lmao

[frank spindle]

Why is amd sold out too bro

Did everyone just stop making gpus

[ripe spire]

@tidal geyser and i are big amd fans

[tidal geyser]

kinda

they stopped making old gen well most of it

now most places are fully on making rx 9000 and rtx 5000 stuff

[hexed tapir]

The well priced 7900gre stop being made months ago

[tidal geyser]

many many months ago

[hexed tapir]

While still expensive it was a great value

[tidal geyser]

rx 6750 xt has just been really good value for a long time

welp damit looks like its going to be going to school sick and probably making most of my classmates sick tomorrow day

[hexed tapir]

Could wear a mask

[tidal geyser]

i do not have one 😐

i cant even get a doctors note

[eternal cloak]

I'm glad masks were common here even before the pandemic

[hexed tapir]

I still have a old af cloth mask in my car

[frank spindle]

Amd is lowkey pmo with the new product in stores but not for sale shit lmao

[frank spindle]

Oh are u in japan or something

[tidal geyser]

also going to be a massive pain for me physically since im still sick

welp lets hope i magically become unsick tomorrow

[frank spindle]

Oh yea true

[hexed tapir]

Why was it common in Japan? Because y'all are close to other people in public all the time, air quality?

[eternal cloak]

I remember the time when I was at the convenience store in Germany, some Walrus fat man came to me and told me 'to keep distance, I have tuberculosis'

WHY ARE YOU HERE

[eternal cloak]

Long-time propaganda to prevent epidemics
Most people wear them when they feel sick and have to go to work/school anyway

[tidal geyser]

sadly thats not normal in Norway

[strange atlas]

Im selling 2 graphics card to get tower cooler hell yeha

[tidal geyser]

probably why i am sick

people in my class do not know what basic hygiene is

[cold skiff]

Wait until you come to the work place

[frank spindle]

Let me guess, comp sci or game design?

[cold skiff]

It only gets worse

[tidal geyser]

well i kinda plan to try and make my own and or have a lot of control over it

[strange atlas]

If i put 1070ti armor thermal pad into rx 6800 would it work

[tidal geyser]

well its Norway so maybe a closer thing is comp si maybe well we have computer hardware and networking and electronics

[tidal geyser]

thermal pad??

what

welp its going to be a pain speaking tommorow

[cold skiff]

Don’t speak.

[tidal geyser]

cant use my phone in class

and i am the only who who knows jack shit

welp if i become even more sick then i am now tommorow wich i think i might i will just take a sick day and watch my perfect record go away

[cold skiff]

There was a time when using a phone in class wasn’t possible, then there’s a time when using a phone in class was distraction only.

[tidal geyser]

i have become better but also worse over the days so it can go any way

[random gyro]

L

[cold skiff]

When I was at school we used phones for snake and 8 bit ringtones. Those were the days…

[strange atlas]

For gpu memory cooling

[tidal geyser]

i might be able to use my phone since i actually know whats going on and some times teach the teachers

[tidal geyser]

what temp is it at now?

[frank spindle]

Sounds about right lmao

[strange atlas]

101

[tidal geyser]

thats fine

[strange atlas]

Celcius

[cold skiff]

Dayumn son. Don’t worry until it hits 110

[tidal geyser]

well it would be nice to have it under 105

but its made for 110c

i have so much stuff i wanted to do this weekend

[cold skiff]

AMD run hot. Even deltas run above that “sweet spot “ people want

[tidal geyser]

even the core likes to be closer to 110c

well hot spot

[cold skiff]

Sim answer me this one because I do not know why

[strange atlas]

Got it it kinda bothers me but okay

[cold skiff]

My 7800xt using RT drops 1-2c hotspot on average compared to running pure rasterisation.

Same fan speed. Same average gpu temp.

[strange atlas]

By the way can i pull rx 6800 apart and just clean it and dont repaste would it effect anything

[cold skiff]

Reports as running cooler but to me, makes no sense. Should be the reverse.

[gloomy sleet]

do people not sell white ethernet cables?

all of them are piss stain yellow

[cold skiff]

I buy black.

[gloomy sleet]

i want to be able to actually they and hide them

[tidal geyser]

RT cores

[gloomy sleet]

i have white skirting board

[cold skiff]

Piss stain yellow is cheap and designed to be hidden.

[strange atlas]

Any idea

[tidal geyser]

RT will use RT cores

[strange atlas]

I dont have thermal paste

[gloomy sleet]

surely yellow paint cost more then white paint

[shell arrow]

[tidal geyser]

go to a priest

Surely the RT cores on the same die will add additional heat on top of the rasterisation? Affecting the hot spot to be higher with same average temperature?

[gloomy sleet]

it’s cat7 innit

[shell arrow]

I just hate amazon basics

[tidal geyser]

probably, remember the cooler and die are directly connected so any point like the raster cores vs RT core area will have different temps

[shell arrow]

They try and cheap out on anything

[hexed tapir]

It's so old and you might ruin the pad when removing it

[gloomy sleet]

it’s pretty hard to fuck up an ethernet cable when it’s rated a certain speed

[shell arrow]

[gloomy sleet]

it’s an ethernet cable there’s not really much to cheap out on

[shell arrow]

Eh ig but like they normally suck

[gloomy sleet]

durability of plastic rubber and copper

literally every other ethernet cable is made of those 3

[hexed tapir]

White one of the most expensive for computer parts since it's more difficult to keep the same shade of white

[shell arrow]

Wjy dont they make fibre data cables that are not just fir internet

[gloomy sleet]

that’s fair

[teal sinew]

they do

[shell arrow]

Like fibre usb c cable

[shell arrow]

Wait fr?

[teal sinew]

you can get fiber usb, hdmi, displayport, etc

theyre a lot more expensive so normies dont buy them

[hexed tapir]

The long boy HDMI

[gloomy sleet]

i have some little flares on my skirting board that sticks up and can probably be good for hiding the cable

[shell arrow]

32k 500 fps 💔

[gloomy sleet]

fibre usb is wild

[tidal geyser]

fake, cat 7 aint really rj45, it uses GC45

[gloomy sleet]

reminds me of people making usb with DP cable locking mechanisms

[cold skiff]

I guess so. I just expected the heat to build up.

[gloomy sleet]

the fuck is the difference 😭

will that do 1gbps? if so i’m good

[tidal geyser]

you do see the pictrue

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

also no its for shielding

[gloomy sleet]

that looks like an rj45 cable?

i don’t fucking know

[tidal geyser]

not a single one

You want 1gbps just get cat6 and a cable you can actually bend more than 5 degrees.

[tidal geyser]

well i would want something more modern if possible but yolo

[quaint hedge]

it’s already 11 it’s gonna take me like a few more hours

[gloomy sleet]

you’d want a 3060

[shell arrow]

Its like 3 cm (my table?

[cold skiff]

1080ti in war zone probably isn’t gonna be great

[shell arrow]

Or 4

[gloomy sleet]

1080ti is gonna stop getting updates soon

[vernal lotus]

How soon??

[gloomy sleet]

this year isn’t it?

[tidal geyser]

few months

[hexed tapir]

Rx 5700xt are cheaper used

[gloomy sleet]

you wanna get a 3060 at least

[vernal lotus]

Oh so should I get the 1080

[shell arrow]

Well not like it can run the new games for the updates

[gloomy sleet]

basically same performance same price newer

[tidal geyser]

price for the rx 5700 xt?

[vernal lotus]

Is a 3060 ti good?

[tidal geyser]

1080 ti is a good bit better

[steel umbra]

measure it

[vernal lotus]

Or a 2070 super??

in what?

[shell arrow]

Taboe length

[teal sinew]

3060>>>>>> 1080Ti

also i’d get a t150/tmx or a t300 g29 in the big 2025 is an interesting financial decision

[teal sinew]

just crank the power limit on a 3060 and use DLSS and youre gonna fly ahead of the 1080Ti

[true stirrup]

Sad reality

[shell arrow]

I cant 3rd world country so only logitech 💔

[cold skiff]

380AUD probably won’t get you better than a 1080ti used. I think you need a higher budget

[hexed tapir]

Pascals Architecture (GTX 1080ti) is really showing it's age in new games

[steel umbra]

unsure

[tidal geyser]

yeeaa

[steel umbra]

shhh

[tidal geyser]

welp good thing i just sold my 1080 ti

[cold skiff]

To be fair it’s done well considering 50 series just launched

[tidal geyser]

still able to play most modern games

[shell arrow]

Ok it might work

[cold skiff]

Sorry 50 series just “launched”

[gloomy sleet]

i beg you get a tmx/t150 though

g29 in 2025 is kinda ass

it’s a last ditch option if you can’t get a moza r3 a t300 a t248 a t128 a t150 or a tmx

[frank spindle]

Have scalpers started reselling 5090s yet

[shell arrow]

Fuck desj is 7 cm

[tidal geyser]

sold for 10k

[teal sinew]

they started less than an hour after launch xd

[gloomy sleet]

all of those will be better and most of them are the same price

[steel umbra]

well, yes but even scalpers barely managed to get hands on them

[tidal geyser]

michael showed me the post of that 10k 5090

[teal sinew]

people walked out of microcenter and put them on facebook marketplace 5 minutes after launch

[shell arrow]

Chat so my desk is 7cm and cant take a g29 tf can i do

[cold skiff]

There’s anti scalper eBay listings too

[shell arrow]

Their are prebuilts on amazon for like 5k n shit very good ones but they ship in like 3 weeks

[cold skiff]

Literally taking bot money to not deliver a card

[steel umbra]

i don’t know why people are killing each other for an overpriced gpu

it’s a good gpu, but the gen to gen uplift was mediocre

[worthy sage]

Guys check it out im so close to be done! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CfdPgn

[tidal geyser]

has anyone done that yet?

[worthy sage]

Master sim check it out!

[cold skiff]

Has anyone actually tested the AI performance?

[steel umbra]

kil? 😂 no

[tidal geyser]

dam not yet

[steel umbra]

does anyone remember when a truck full of gpus was ambushed and they stole gpus

during the crisis

[tidal geyser]

well cpu comes with a cooler

[worthy sage]

I have saved 412$ at 17 with no job buy buying and flipping stuff online!

[cold skiff]

As Nvidia claimed a 12 month waiting list for businesses wanting a 5090 for AI before it was even announces at CES

[worthy sage]

yep!

[shell arrow]

Crazy to me how scalpers actually get sales because like if u need it for professional use just get 2 4090s for the price more vram and preformance plus modt pro software has dual gpu support

[tidal geyser]

i started building computers at 16 and made like 3k in half a year

[cold skiff]

If you can find 2 4090s

[gloomy sleet]

remove the clips

[worthy sage]

I still need the gpu, ram (4 dollars away), ssd, cooler and op

[tidal geyser]

i now have like 5k worth of things

[gloomy sleet]

or better yet DONT GET A g29

[worthy sage]

Nice!

[tidal geyser]

the cpu comes with a cooler

[worthy sage]

I know but people say the stock cooler is as*

[tidal geyser]

its not

[shell arrow]

But then it will not clamp? I dont understand

[cold skiff]

5k NOK or USD

[tidal geyser]

usd

[worthy sage]

So buying an rgb cooler isnt worth?

[gloomy sleet]

it will

[tidal geyser]

50k+ nok worth of stuff

[shell arrow]

How wont i be removing the clamping mechanisim

[cold skiff]

Was gonna say 5k of NOK wasn’t much

[tidal geyser]

well that can be the last thing you buy¨

[worthy sage]

Oh

[cold skiff]

RGB is garbage

[gloomy sleet]

hot take

[worthy sage]

Im scared my pc isnt going to look good 😦

[tidal geyser]

5k is like the most pure profit i made from just a single computer

[tidal geyser]

it will look fine

[worthy sage]

Like i had a blast going through all this sh** but i want my pc to look really good

[cold skiff]

I remember building PCs when you couldn’t even see inside the thing. The good old days.

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind you are looking at the screen not the pc

[worthy sage]

And im shivering my pants off becuase i dont know if it will work

[worthy sage]

When i get it in could you help me build it ill pay you

[tidal geyser]

well plan on making computers like that now, aka use the shitties of my cases to make NASes or something

[worthy sage]

no i dont want to watch tutorials

[cold skiff]

My first computer sat on my desk horizontally. And I had to a PCI (not PCIE) graphics card when I saved enough paper round money. The good old days.

[tidal geyser]

uh well i do not really take tips and such also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1fxZ-VWs2U

[worthy sage]

Should i make the extra money jump for a aio?

[tidal geyser]

nope not at all

[worthy sage]

May i ask why master sim?

[rare musk]

uggy zotac gpu

[cold skiff]

Nothing will ever be as exciting again in the GPU world as buying a voodoo3d at the time.

[rare musk]

yummy cheese

[worthy sage]

whats that

[tidal geyser]

this is what happend to my first water cooler

[worthy sage]

whats wrong with it

[tidal geyser]

well

[cold skiff]

Uh

[tidal geyser]

the milk cheese

[cold skiff]

Is that direct copper contact?

[worthy sage]

im so confused

[tidal geyser]

thats the copper plate on the bottom of the AIO block

its this part

[cold skiff]

Did the liquid leak on to the copper?

[tidal geyser]

milk cheese

[rare musk]

lol

[tidal geyser]

fins

[rare musk]

liquid is always on the copper brother

[worthy sage]

hi @rare musk

[tidal geyser]

fins blocked by that white stuff

[cold skiff]

I thought AIOs nickel plated

[tidal geyser]

under side some times

[cold skiff]

Haven’t had an AIO for such a long time tbh

[worthy sage]

@rare musk this is what i got done so far 🙏🏼 https://pcpartpicker.com/user/FaZeToosmooth/saved/VtnyVn

[hexed tapir]

In less than a minute

[cold skiff]

Just always preferred good old fashioned air

[tidal geyser]

the fins should look like this

[rare musk]

im busy playing cs

[tidal geyser]

wbut mine looked like that

[worthy sage]

-_-

[gloomy sleet]

that’s actually a big improvement

[tidal geyser]

aka AIOs are known to not last long

[gloomy sleet]

resolution is 3 1440p monitors side by side

[rare musk]

https://tenor.com/view/csgo-ace-pistol-plays-tv-plays-tv-gi-fs-gif-8981662

[worthy sage]

guys whats the best kind of gaming 3070 3 fan?

[limber nacelle]

they can last long and not so long

the issue is that they're not servicable; or not designed to be

[worthy sage]

I dont know because there are so many, i want the built in nvidia rec and filters

[gloomy sleet]

the cheapest 3070 you can find or the one you like the look of

[tidal geyser]

in general just go air

[limber nacelle]

yes 100%, that's my recommendation too

[tidal geyser]

air coolers are cheaper and some times better in performance and ofc last lets jut say a tiny bit longer

[limber nacelle]

unless you really like the look, it's much better to go air

[tidal geyser]

just a tiny bit

[worthy sage]

I want one thats the best for gaming but its a 3 fan

[hexed tapir]

Aio lose liquid over time so they suck

[gloomy sleet]

the cheapest one

[worthy sage]

wdym

[tidal geyser]

well yeah AIOs now a days are only really for looks

[gloomy sleet]

they will all perform within 5% of eachother

[worthy sage]

But the 3 fan looks so sexy

[gloomy sleet]

get the cheapest one or the one you like the look of best

[tidal geyser]

eh modern tubes are so good against that its not a massive issue

[gloomy sleet]

why are you looking at your pc and not your monitor

[tidal geyser]

i even have a old AIO that is sloshing but still works well

[worthy sage]

I have monitors 💀

i have 11 of them

[gloomy sleet]

bruh

[worthy sage]

💀

[tidal geyser]

so why look inside the pc then?

[worthy sage]

IM BUILDING A NEW ONE

😭 and its going to be a desk pc

[gloomy sleet]

what 3070 you choose doesn’t matter in the slightest

[hexed tapir]

I physically cant see my PC when I'm using it

[worthy sage]

so any of them will have the same performance?

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[worthy sage]

or will the 3 fan out perform it?

[gloomy sleet]

no

[worthy sage]

(cooling wise_

[gloomy sleet]

no

[worthy sage]

so it just the same?

[tidal geyser]

i can see my pc but its in the far far right corner of my apartment and under my desk

[worthy sage]

Are there any rgb 3070?

[tidal geyser]

i over spent so much on looks

[worthy sage]

I dont want one of those shity looking pcs

[tidal geyser]

i think i bought it when i was 15 or 16

wich was not a long time ago but dam if i learn quick

[worthy sage]

i dont want it to end up looking like this

[gloomy sleet]

a case?

[worthy sage]

more like this

[tidal geyser]

xt pro ultra?

[worthy sage]

but blacked out

[gloomy sleet]

welp i’m fucked

[tidal geyser]

he does not know he can just add it

[minor sleet]

Oh

[worthy sage]

I dont want to im trying to keep track of the normal parts i need

as i have a 1060 to use temp just to test and shit

[gloomy sleet]

just get any 3070

[tidal geyser]

cheapest 3070

mined ones are best

[gloomy sleet]

literally any 3070 will perform within 5% of any other 3070 at the most extreme example

[worthy sage]

I thought those were only for office work or flipping

[tidal geyser]

wut

[worthy sage]

/benchmarking

[gloomy sleet]

what?

[hoary agate]

I found a monitor on the street and it fully works

[tidal geyser]

what is

[gloomy sleet]

they are normal 3070s

[gloomy sleet]

is that a hole there?

[tidal geyser]

flipping what, burgers?

[worthy sage]

No pcs

[tidal geyser]

there is a reason its on the street

[gloomy sleet]

cooking a burger on my pc

[frank spindle]

Lmao im watching an ebay bid war for a 5080 and its already over 2k

[tidal geyser]

ox?

[hoary agate]

Nah I just haven’t cleaned it

[gloomy sleet]

ok so turning my tv off and on again at the wall just happened to work

[tidal geyser]

what is it 5% better then a 7900 XTX

[gloomy sleet]

weird considering i DID THAT 5 MINUTES AGO

[hoary agate]

It is vga and dvi only but a monitor is a monitor

[tidal geyser]

the XTX is like 900$ or something

[tidal geyser]

yea

[worthy sage]

Yo master sim, could i ask you to look at something for me just real quick

[frank spindle]

Im not buying a gpu until its within $50 of msrp so guess im gonna be on the 3060ti for the foreseeable future

[worthy sage]

why

[worthy sage]

okie

[gloomy sleet]

you paid triple what it’s worth

[tidal geyser]

[minor sleet]

Congrats on wasting money lmao

[worthy sage]

imma die

[tidal geyser]

get war shipped

im too sick to care

[worthy sage]

😦

[minor sleet]

ignore my pc case thing

[worthy sage]

Master is being bad master

[tidal geyser]

case is fine

not really that over priced

[minor sleet]

only a small like thousand dollars

[worthy sage]

Its really nice

good cable management

[tidal geyser]

can get like a 30$ cheaper case but that one still got plenty more rgb

[worthy sage]

It hides litterally everything!

[worthy sage]

Without fans

[tidal geyser]

well montech xr

ok no its almost the same price

[minor sleet]

With those savings you can buy an entire second case

[worthy sage]

well this one comes with 5 fans and supports all my stuff + hides all the stuff in the back

[worthy sage]

Why tf would i do that

[ripe spire]

me putting my pc in hibernate mode instead of shutdown bc im unnecessary

[minor sleet]

Idk

[tidal geyser]

o well like i said i cant care enough to try and fight over it

[sage ocean]

CPU 112 degrees at post. Cooler is secure and i did a dime of paste? Any ideas?

[worthy sage]

Ngl i was thinking about buying a pc that had to spots in the case to put 2 motherboards in for dual pc

[cold skiff]

A dime!?

[minor sleet]

I want my case to support two motherboards

[tidal geyser]

cooler?

[true stirrup]

Did you remove the plastic cover?

[sage ocean]

Stock 5600x

[minor sleet]

c?

[sage ocean]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

stock 5600x cooler?

[limber nacelle]

hard to say what could be the issue, but i would dismount and remount at the minimum

[cold skiff]

Dime is a small dot right?

[empty quartz]

:3

[tidal geyser]

he probs used the wrong mounting

[limber nacelle]

i would be willing to bet that you hav a mounting issue

[worthy sage]

omg master sim, I should call you master splinter 😉

[tidal geyser]

maybe just maybe me too

[sage ocean]

I can remount it

bro

[worthy sage]

Bro why cant anyone have a really nice looking black pc 😦

[true stirrup]

Gotta love that massive case

[tidal geyser]

best part is that the psu is upside down from how it is in most computers so if the gpu leak it goes STRAIGH into the PSU

[cold skiff]

Then cables manage themselves!

[empty quartz]

Not as massive as this segue to our sponsor

[minor sleet]

The best case has a solid side panel or a mesh side panel

[empty quartz]

Mid

[worthy sage]

Something like that

[true stirrup]

Yeah it faces up in that case because it has no intake on the bottom

[minor sleet]

I don’t need no fuckin glass or acrylic

[tidal geyser]

make your own :3

[tidal geyser]

normal

[cold skiff]

I once dropped a full can of Irn Bru on my PC. Went in the PSU. Over everything. Sprayed it off with water. Everything worked after drying out 48hours later. If Irn Bru can’t kill a PC, don’t know what will.

[true stirrup]

Tbh I have all the tools necessary to do it rn lol

[tidal geyser]

did i tell you about the cola pc

[cold skiff]

I will never have a PC like that again

[strange atlas]

My graphics card heatsink fans has white stains on them does it mean it has corrosion

I bought it second hand

[cold skiff]

Think that was my AND thunderbird PC from 2004

[random gyro]

i know an oc formula when i see it

[cold skiff]

What you do with cola?

[worthy sage]

.

[minor sleet]

I burnt a cpu with 12v and killed a motherboard by just looking at it weird

[tidal geyser]

well not me but spill it into computers

[true stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-suspicious-stare-reaction-gif-gif-26297876

[cold skiff]

This AMD CPU survived Irn Bru. But 1 year later the OC did cause the PSU to fail and start a fire. I knew then I had to get a new PC.

[strange atlas]

Any idea?

[steel umbra]

may i ask for picture of the packaging? to ensure it’s not a counterfeit

[empty quartz]

It snowed a bit

[cold skiff]

Did they live?

[minor sleet]

Hot chocolate weather :)

[tidal geyser]

well most of it

[cold skiff]

Just the gpu died?

[empty quartz]

Boykissing weather

[minor sleet]

Facts

[tidal geyser]

everything survived but the motherboard

[cold skiff]

Aww dayumn.

[sage ocean]

We already found the issue

[tidal geyser]

it also had a wifi card and capture card

[sage ocean]

The cooler wasn't mounted

[tidal geyser]

not tested the psu tho

[cold skiff]

Tbh I was surprised spraying off with water worked

[tidal geyser]

i love it when my first response is the fix

[steel umbra]

aight, though you could check if it’s not counterfeit kryonaut

[strange atlas]

If anybody has an idea please tell me if it would gets corroted even more if its corrosion

[sage ocean]

I got it from Amazon

[steel umbra]

they’re common in the us even at retail

[cold skiff]

I knew too much kills it, too little kills it. Never thought for 1 second I’d get lucky

[frail topaz]

cocke spilled pc

[tidal geyser]

the gpu was soaked but i used super duper clean water and ISO and it worked

[steel umbra]

yes, amazon has counterfeit kryonaut, it’s not guaranteed if you don’t buy from an official distributor or tg themselves

[tidal geyser]

did you remove the stock paste on the cooler?

[sage ocean]

Yes

[cold skiff]

That’s a good result sim. People under estimate the power of a quick clean and always dismiss a dead PC from spillage

[tidal geyser]

ok good

[sage ocean]

It said the TG store on amazing

Amazon

[steel umbra]

alright

the real deal then

[cold skiff]

Also white stains shouldn’t be corrosion.

Should be someone cleaned it and you need to wipe their shit off

[true stirrup]

Corrosion would be brown

[tidal geyser]

yeah, just a good clean and i might be able to make what i spent on and then again how much i payed for it in profit for the pc since the gpu alone is worth what i payed for the pc well more

[tidal geyser]

for iron

but oxidization is white for aluminum

[true stirrup]

Oh I actually didn't know that

[cold skiff]

Heat will do that to a heatsink. Especially if you live somewhere humid.

[strange atlas]

Oh thank you but i tryed peeling off by metal pin it did not go away

I have the same thing on my gpu currently i was scared for a second

[tidal geyser]

well its fine

it just looks bad

Would it grow in time im planning to use this for the next 5 years

[empty quartz]

@true stirrup since it snowed, you now what that means; put the shitbox in 4x2

[tidal geyser]

how far away from the ocean are you?

[strange atlas]

Right by the sea but no ocean

[tidal geyser]

salt water?

[cold skiff]

I’ve never had that happen to me before and I’m right next to the sea.

[strange atlas]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

well then it will become worse over time but its mostly just cosmentic

[true stirrup]

Hell yeah
I've only driven 4x2 lol

[strange atlas]

I dont care about cosmetic thank youu

[left palm]

yey

[steel umbra]

if it’s not corrosion of the pcb or heatsink’s coldplate it’s fine

[cold skiff]

I’m sure you could probably repair that if you really wanted anyway

[left palm]

and I got to pre order a 5090 too

yippe

although it will come at mid feb 😔

[cold skiff]

How does it feel knowing you just got ripped off by Jensen?

[left palm]

hmm

[cold skiff]

A heck of a lot better once you get to use it in mid feb 😉

[left palm]

a 3060M -> a 5090
i feel like its worth it

[cold skiff]

Oh hell yeah. That’s like going from a 1060

[left palm]

i started off with a 750ti

then a 1050ti then a rx280x then a 3060M

and in some weeks Ill get to experience the high end

no more going to settings to lower my graphics settings

[cold skiff]

Instead of doing that you can just generate 3 fake frames! The excitement

[left palm]

indeed

[cold skiff]

I hope you’re playing on a 4K monitor

[long goblet]

never heard of irn bru. googled.

[left palm]

1440p

but I might consider buying another monitor thats 4k

scotland, you have some explaining to do.

Sugar free irn Bru is awful tbh

[nimble frigate]

It’s arrived

[left palm]

ive never heard of this brand before

oh wait thats

70hz only lol

[cold skiff]

Probably because it’s a 5ms response time

have you not walked into any box store in the past 10 years>?

[left palm]

nop

gee all the 4k 144hz+ are 400$+

[hybrid zinc]

ngl i expect dat kind of pricing

[hybrid zinc]

is 5080 gud
i heard 5080 isnt as better dan da 4080

[hexed tapir]

Some are $300

[left palm]

gimme some recommendations that are that price

[wispy thunder]

xd

[left palm]

oo

ig acer is the only option

[wispy thunder]

Screw 4k get this xd

[left palm]

I do have a 2k

a samsung 2k 165hz
but since im getting a 5090 someone suggested a 4k monitor

[hexed tapir]

https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/acer-nitro-xv3-xv273k it's meh

[left palm]

y do they have those big brackets around it

[latent gull]

These are used a lot in offices

[left palm]

ah

well its 70hz so its a no go

[hybrid zinc]

u can prolly overclock it to 85Hz

[left palm]

still

not that great for fast paced fps

[strange atlas]

What would you guys prefer losing anti sag bracket or back panel of the case

My anti sag doesnt let me put back panel on

I think im gonna choose back panel

[high elm]

how do you even overclock monitors

[strange atlas]

Most of them have setting inside

[tidal geyser]

[viral lantern]

What would be some good white wireless headphones for under 50 bucks

[tidal geyser]

no they do not

[strange atlas]

You can like boost from 240 to 280 hz

Like asus tuf does that

[left palm]

anyone here uses the aduze maxwell?

[tidal geyser]

only some very rare ones like my old monitor

[strange atlas]

Both of my high refresh rate friends had to overclock it i tought all high ones like that

[hybrid zinc]

in nvidia control panel

[tidal geyser]

no its very uncommon

[high elm]

oh

[worthy sage]

Guys, so, if i use a m.2 from my pc and it dont have windows on it what will happen? what would i do?

[cold skiff]

Monitor over clocking will be the next big thing now Jensen is giving us 75% performance increase

[worthy sage]

its a 1tb m.2

[cold skiff]

Sorry 75% frame increase. That doesn’t mean performance

[olive rose]

Im reinstalling Windows 11, and and need to select I agree everything will be deleted etc...." is that on the OS drive or all the harddrives in the computer?

[lament delta]

for that money you can get 1440p 180hz 1ms with HDMI 2.1 (needed for PS5 to run on 120hz)

oh and 32"

[hexed tapir]

You could get a mini led or OLED monitor at 1440p for around $400

[cold skiff]

Does ps5 actually run any games at 120fps natively?

[left palm]

i hit a 20 critical success on your pfp
left
clicked again
hits a 1 critical failure

[cold skiff]

Cause the AMD tech is good… just can’t see it being that good

[left palm]

anyways, is there really much of a difference between IPS 1440p and mini led/OLED 1440p?

[hybrid zinc]

pc wont turn on
U would need to install windows on it by a USB with windows installer or a windows CD

[lament delta]

couple F1 games, GT7, couple CoD titles

[cold skiff]

From someone using a VA… YES

[lament delta]

in fact, https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/12wsfcg/list_of_120hz_supported_ps5_games/

[frank spindle]

Is the 9070xt stronger than the 5070ti? I heard there are leaks that the 9070xt should perform around 4080 super or something like that

[hexed tapir]

For hdr yes

[cold skiff]

I googled and you have to enable performance mode… also known as upscaling/fsr

[lament delta]

oh you meant that

[cold skiff]

Yes I said native

[left palm]

hmm
hdr feels too bright for me
or am i doing something wrong

[lament delta]

eh, its good either way

[cold skiff]

It’s good. Just wondered how good given ps5 pro costs like a 4070ti

Apparently it’s 120fps at 1440p

[frank spindle]

Are there any rumors about 5070/5070ti stock?

I saw a leak that it should come feb 20th but idk if its gonna be a 5080/90 situation again

[gleaming rose]

how much do yall think this pentium shitter is worth

(considering buying cuz cool)

[teal sinew]

there will be more supply of the 70 cards than there was for 80/90

70>70Ti>80>90 in terms of supply

[cold skiff]

They’ll be sold out within an hour

[frank spindle]

Id expect minutes lol

[teal sinew]

5080 supply should be fine in a couple months but 5090s will be hard to get for most of 2025

[frank spindle]

Supply lasting an hour would actually be pretty impressive

[frank spindle]

I see

[cold skiff]

They’ll last an hour because the reviews will show no point in upgrading from a 4070

[frank spindle]

Im at a 3060ti so im down to get a 5070ti hehe

Although idk if a 5070ti will be better than 7900 xtx

[cold skiff]

Given the 5080 is 10% better than 4080. I expect the 4070 and ti to be 3-5% better than 40 series and it will be another uninteresting card

[rare musk]

1:
thank you for coming

[brazen glen]

It absolutely will be to some degree

[cold skiff]

No the XTX will beat it

[brazen glen]

There’s no way they’re going to accept any amount of real volume for larger dies of Blackwell going to consumer when they’re making 50 grand off the same silicon to AI farms

[cold skiff]

But if you add 3 fake frames.. it will beat the XTX.

So what’s better?

[teal sinew]

if you dont need more than 16GB of vram then yes

[rare musk]

yea it likely will

[teal sinew]

DLSS is so much better than FSR3, and Ada/Bw are so much better with RT enabled that you cant only look at native raster performance

[brazen glen]

Personally I feel like the next few years are going to be “I really should’ve bought that open box 4070 ti super/7900 xt” or “damn I’m glad I bought an RX 6800/3080”

[latent pasture]

right on time as amd gets its hw accelerated fsr4 going that actually looks good compared to old dlss, nvidia comes out with the transformer model

[brazen glen]

Save for the fact that there are like, 10 games where RT is good or essential to the game looking good

[teal sinew]

i have a 6900xt and im feeling it age rapidly because itll never have good upscaling or RT performance, both of which are expected of you in new AAA games

[cold skiff]

Nvidia don’t want you buying the lower end. The 70 series will blow.

[brazen glen]

I mean if you’re feeling FOMO and want better RT go for it, I’m not one of those gamers tbqh

[teal sinew]

it's not even a matter of fomo, radeon is just not aging well in new games

[brazen glen]

New games that require RT

[teal sinew]

7900XTX is competing with the 4070S in some cases even at 4K

and that's without taking DLSS's advantage into account

[frank spindle]

Nvidia’s software is much better you cant deny

[brazen glen]

I play at 1440p and 4k so FSR looks fine to me with some TAA lol

[teal sinew]

i play at 2160p and i think FSR looks horrendous :p

[frank spindle]

7900xtx has better raw performance but nvda pulls ahead with dlss and other shiz

[brazen glen]

I also don’t play cyberpunk or Indiana jones or black myth wukong or avatar

[brazen glen]

Add moar AA imo

[frank spindle]

I play ark survival ascended lolol, mfg plz save me

[teal sinew]

those games arent going to be one-offs though is the point

more and more games that come out will be like those

[brazen glen]

Yeah in like 4 years it might be a real issue but for now I’m cruising

[frank spindle]

Most of the games coming out are ray tracing by default and taking up crazy vram

[teal sinew]

yeh im not urging you to replace your GPU, i just think that it's safer to recommend nvidia to people who ask for a recommendation

[brazen glen]

And at this point my GPU is already 3 years old so my 385 bux is going a pretty good way already

[teal sinew]

assuming they can find a nvidia card at normal price

[frank spindle]

5070ti has 16gb of vram right?

[teal sinew]

hopefully RDNA4 and FSR4 will be massive improvements to RT performance and upscaling quality

[viral osprey]

GUYS IM GONNA RUN 2 GPUS!!!!

[frank spindle]

We can only wonder 😦

[hexed tapir]

My 5700xt feels it more, I don't play new games much because of it

[brazen glen]

I still think that asking whether or not RT is a big part of their gaming diet is the way to make that call, if they’re playing fast paced raster games there’s nothing wrong with suggesting Radeon

But yeah everyone wants team green lol

[teal sinew]

sure if they only play old games or esports or minecraft then raster cards are fine

[strange atlas]

Man im still getting those 1 long 2 short beeps

[teal sinew]

if they want to play new games then nvidia is the obvious choice assuming they can find a card at normal price

[frank spindle]

Games cater to NVDA more often than AMD too

[strange atlas]

I dont know why is that im tripping out

[frank spindle]

Im gonna be waking up at 7am or whatever when the 5070s drop fo sure

Ill beat the bots trust

[teal sinew]

i think 5070 is going to be extraordinarily mid

[frank spindle]

Well im going for 5070ti but yea they wont be anything insane

[teal sinew]

4070S best case scenario and it's only a $50 price cut from that

hopefully 9070XT will offer a much better value

[frank spindle]

I was originally gonna get a 4070ti super or 7900xtx but theyre out of stock so im gonna try for a 5070ti instead

[viral osprey]

Yall fw the rx580?

[steel umbra]

if those aren’t available to you i doubt a 5070 ti will

[hexed tapir]

Intel had pretty damn good Rt for the A series so I was hopeful for battle mage. If only it was a bit more powerful

[teal sinew]

itll be really funny if it doesnt even beat the 4070S at stock clocks

[lament delta]

tomorrow OneUI7

[teal sinew]

we need the B770 🙏

[minor sleet]

Why

[rare musk]

bo7

[teal sinew]

which has 1.6x as many Xe2 cores

[frank spindle]

Well i mean when it launches, they stopped making those other cards

[hexed tapir]

I want 7900gre raster performance with Intel RT performance

[rare musk]

intel rt performance lol

[teal sinew]

assuming perfect scaling 1.6x a B580 is 7800XT/6900XT performance

with substantially better RT and upscaling

[frank spindle]

It definitely will

[hexed tapir]

Hey they did an amazing job with rt giving it was their first ever gpu
