[ebon marlin]

hmm

[ebon marlin]

aww it's so cute i need it sm

[boreal vine]

sold out everywhere tho, there's a store here that sells it for 30 GBP

[lethal idol]

anyone knows what settings i should have when running DDU?

[mellow shadow]

Does the paw swing?

[solar moat]

remove all gpu drivers

[lethal idol]

so like this?

[boreal vine]

don't think so

[mellow shadow]

Sad

Aren’t those greeter cats that some people put in the front of their store?

[lethal bay]

my favorite coworker called out

this is a travesty

[molten sedge]

The actual fuck is wrong with deepseek?? 😭

[lethal bay]

It’s 2025 and we’re still acting surprised by AI models not being completely coherent

[molten sedge]

I am acting surprised by it being a complete piece of garbage not giving a shit about user input

not that it's not hyper-human intelligence

[robust hull]

so all the shilling on deepseek and its mid at best?

[lethal bay]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[robust hull]

I'm shocked

on the plus side, its becoming more human by the day if its ignoring all your instructions @molten sedge

I saw that, yea deepseek is alright for the most part

[molten sedge]

no, the machine has no internet acces + running the model locally for a reason

[robust hull]

the full model?

which quant

[mellow shadow]

It’s 2025 and we’re still interested in AI?

[molten sedge]

1.5b since my laptop is the definition of underpowered

[robust hull]

oof that will definitely not cope with good reasoned output

[molten sedge]

on my desktop I can run at least 80b tmk

[robust hull]

sir its current year, and AI is going CRAZY

[true stirrup]

1.5b is absolute dog shit

And you are surprised it's bad?

[robust hull]

yea i'm suprised its even able to output

mfw when a 1.5b model doesn't perform well

[molten sedge]

that already loads for about 3 minutes and generates 2 words a sec at best

[molten sedge]

honestly not, just that it is that bad

[true stirrup]

Well then forget about using it because that is useless

1.5b should not even be considered

[true stirrup]

Just like any 1.5b model

[robust hull]

i'd not settle for les than 8b

[steel umbra]

what’s your laptop model

[robust hull]

and thats on a bad day

[true stirrup]

I am currently running 14b deepseek and it's great

[robust hull]

14 should be good enough yeah

[spiral estuary]

are any of these usb 3.0

[tidal geyser]

why is the shittiest version of this LLM so bad

[true stirrup]

Yes the blue ones

[mellow shadow]

Blue ones

[robust hull]

the blue ones for sure

they can sometimes be red

[mellow shadow]

Is that a gigabyte board?

[robust hull]

but then its gen 3.1 or 3.2

[spiral estuary]

that's odd cause im plugging my cable into the blue ones for pc vr, but the meta app says it isn't usb 3.0

[mellow shadow]

Shit

[molten sedge]

ThinkPad X1C G5

[tidal geyser]

uses 1.5b llm and surprised its ass compared to one MANY MANY times bigger

[mellow shadow]

Shoulda known GB doesn’t do funky colored USBs

[robust hull]

try a usb stick?

[spiral estuary]

wdym

just plug one in but what will that prove

[robust hull]

there's that program that tells you the usb spec

hwinfo?

[tidal geyser]

no

well maybe

o well try it

[robust hull]

usbdeview ?

[random gyro]

it says that a 7800x3d runs fps games smoother because the games i play are more cpu reliant,

[true stirrup]

3d cache is great

[tidal geyser]

na

[random gyro]

yeah but would it be great for a 7800xt

[tidal geyser]

tis espensive

[robust hull]

USBDeview v3.07
Copyright (c) 2006 - 2023 Nir Sofer

[steel umbra]

aight, pretty low end though you prob should be getting better performance

[spiral estuary]

what is this for

[robust hull]

it tells you whats plugged in, and at what "speed"

[spiral estuary]

where do i go on the site to see this

[swift trout]

Does the corsair h100i elite rgb use the same bracket for am5 as am4?

[robust hull]

just google usbdeview

[molten sedge]

nah that thing has some ridiculously low spec, but enough for me usually [got my desktop for the rest]

[tidal geyser]

am4 and am5 use the same mounting yes

[spiral estuary]

it's a paid thing at least from what im seeing

[robust hull]

i'm stuck on am4 until something breask

[random gyro]

@tidal geyser ur the only person ive met so far saying a 7800x3d isnt worth it for a 7800xt im curious why?

[ripe spire]

Ur not “stuck”

[tidal geyser]

sick then you still have the ability to upgrade to a 5700X3D or if you already have it then stay with it for like 10 years

[tidal geyser]

since you will play at 1440p

also no

[random gyro]

i fw the bllodhound pfp btw

[swift trout]

Like this one? Sorry for the bad pic

[tidal geyser]

plenty of other people have said the same thing

[ripe spire]

Me and sim r besties, our setups r twinninnnnn

[tidal geyser]

yus

[random gyro]

no i believe you but not that ive met personally

[swift trout]

Thx

[spiral estuary]

found where to download but it just crashes on opening

[robust hull]

I have a ryzen 9 9500x

probably overkill for am4

[tidal geyser]

5900x?

[steel umbra]

specs?

[tidal geyser]

nothing is overkill for some jobs, but what do you do with it?

[robust hull]

yes sorry 5900x

[random gyro]

its just a hard choice i guess cus everytime i go with the 7900xt and a 7700x i will see someone say the 7800x3d will run the fps games i paly amazingly and gave high fps cus there cpu heavy

[robust hull]

AI and VMs , coding etc

[random gyro]

but then im over budget so have to knock down to 7800xt

death loop

[ripe spire]

7800X3D is a great cpu

[random gyro]

with a 7800xt?

[molten sedge]

Desktop;
3090 Ti, 32GB RAM and Ryzen 9 5950X
AI Server;
3080, 256GB RAM and some Xeon

[ripe spire]

I love mine

[robust hull]

give me your AI server!

[tidal geyser]

the 7600 or 7700 will be PLENTY fine since you will already be gpu limited in most games but for the games that become cpu limited they will be limited at like 400-500fps+

[robust hull]

🚀

[molten sedge]

Still need it tho

[steel umbra]

laptop though

[ripe spire]

“Some Xeon”

[tidal geyser]

then i would wait a short while before upgrading but tbf the 9950x is dam fast

[random gyro]

gpu limited as in the cpu isnt good enough for the 7900xt cus its higher end?

[molten sedge]

idfk man 😭 🙏

[tidal geyser]

no

[random gyro]

so if i go with 7700x and 7900xt i will still see high fps good gameplay and overall nice build

i just want high fps smooth gameplay and to be able to play 1440p when i wanna

[tidal geyser]

gpu limited means that the gpu is used to the max aka you would need a better gpu before the cpu starts to become a issue

[tidal geyser]

yus

[random gyro]

which is okay right?

[steel umbra]

i mean not that bad

[random gyro]

so go 7700x 7900xt and then save for a 7800x3d?

[ripe spire]

1.9 😭

[tidal geyser]

yus

[random gyro]

okay thank u sim

[tidal geyser]

at least save for a 9800X3D

[random gyro]

okay sounds good

[ripe spire]

Yeah and a 5090

[random gyro]

but ill have a good rig with lots of power?

[ripe spire]

Then ur set for at least 6 months

[tidal geyser]

it has the cache under the cores not on top of so it can actually boost well

[molten sedge]

as I said, enough for me, just not good for more than office and light gaming which I don't do on the go anyways lmao

[tidal geyser]

lower power use but high fps

[random gyro]

lower power use how and why?

[tidal geyser]

amd

[random gyro]

so good or bad thing

[tidal geyser]

the cpu wil probs be under 100w while gaming while a intel would be like 200-300

[tidal geyser]

lower power bill

[random gyro]

okay good to know

i do have a Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 TT Premium 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply so ill be good either way

also last couple questions youve seen my build already but ill showa gain

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bfvn8Q

any tips for my case? extra fans i should save or any advice?

or maybe even if the case isnt good enough airlfow wise?

[quasi field]

Minor cable management

[tidal geyser]

plenty fine

[lethal bay]

What monitor do you have

[random gyro]

dont worry ab extra fans?

[tidal geyser]

tis plenty fine, the case has 2 massive fans and everything will run well

[random gyro]

i use acer 1440p 240 hz

[tidal geyser]

1440p

[lethal bay]

Thank god

[ripe spire]

I’m interested to know how my system would perform compared to how it is rn if it got swapped with a 9800X3D and a 5090 rather than its current 7800X3D and 7900XTX

[random gyro]

yeah and my 2nd monitor display is 144 hz but only 1080

[lethal bay]

Was fully expecting 1080p 144hz lmao

[random gyro]

lol

[lethal bay]

Yeah same it’s fine

[tidal geyser]

tis perfect pc

[random gyro]

i did HELLA resarch talked to many people

[simple parrot]

hey i was looking at gpu rankings rn nd i noticed the 4090 and Radeon RX 7900 XTX are first and second , but the radeon is 880 usd while the 4090 is 2.520 usd! but they get simular performance, what is the deal why would someone buy a 4090 if thats the case. only stuff i know is amd cards dont have stuff like dlss and raytracing sucks on em but im not even sure abt those

[lethal bay]

It’s because they don’t actually get similar performance

[random gyro]

i would love a 50 series in the future but budegt wise i see the 7900xt king right now same with 7800xt

[lethal bay]

The 7900XTX is closer to a 4080 Super

[ripe spire]

It would be literally £3k in upgrades

[simple parrot]

i see

[lethal bay]

also the difference would be whatever the performance difference between the XTX and 5090 is

[tidal geyser]

IT WORKS

[lethal bay]

assuming you’re at an appropriate resolution for the GPUs

[sleek ibex]

Infinity better than how I do mine

[random gyro]

pretty sure 5090 has any 7900 series beat by a nice little margine

[sleek ibex]

I'm horrific at cable management

[random gyro]

and im team red so

[tidal geyser]

i love becoming good at NAS and server stuff

[ripe spire]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

[ripe spire]

Hell yeah same rn

[tidal geyser]

placeholder price

[lethal bay]

The 4090 and 5090 do. That’s it.

The XTX is loosely competitive with the 5080 in raster

[random gyro]

i started witha 2060

[ripe spire]

These aren’t

[random gyro]

but team red just easier and better al thogh the 50 series will be hard to pass on in the future

[ripe spire]

I wanna know what AMDs next move is, it’s gonna be like 8900XTX or something

[simple parrot]

so what is the difrence betwen amd cards and nvidia cards? i know amd is cheaper has more vram

[ripe spire]

Well not now nvidia has released the 5090 with fucking 32gb of vram

[lethal bay]

AMD already said they’re not putting out a top end card this go around

[ripe spire]

Wait what why not

[lethal bay]

We’re getting a 9070XT and that’s it

[ripe spire]

Oh what 😭

[lethal bay]

Because RDNA3 sold like shit

[tidal geyser]

marketshare

[ripe spire]

Is it at least gonna be better than the 7900XTX

[lethal bay]

in raytracing yes

[ripe spire]

AMD graphics cards gonna die off

[sleek ibex]

AMD's Radeon marketing has always been on the subpar side

[lethal bay]

In raster, no

[ripe spire]

Bc of that

[simple parrot]

aw man nd i was just getting interested in em

[lethal bay]

They’ve done this before and it’s been fine

[random gyro]

like i said im team red but idk how they will match a 5090 even the 4070 super is better then anything they have released..

[simple parrot]

ig ill pick up a 5070 ti next upgrade

[eternal cloak]

RDNA3 sales were really shit and they realized they wouldn't be able to keep up anyway

[sleek ibex]

I think it's a wise decision for AMD to target the mid range tier

[lethal bay]

According to rumors the 9070XT is supposed to be loosely equivalent to a 7900XT in raster performance and much better RT performance

[ripe spire]

To be fair, nvidia has so much revenue to spend on r&d on higher end cards

[eternal cloak]

They've done this with Polaris and RDNA1 so far, no problems. They're just refocusing

[random gyro]

unless they give a reason to stay, as of rn its price maybe in the future they will devlope a distinct difference that makes them considerable cus its not ever gonna be cus its more powerful

[ripe spire]

I’ll probs end up upgrading my system with a 7090 or 8090 in a few years time

[lethal bay]

I’m probably gonna skip this gen entirely ngl

[ripe spire]

Hopefully they can make high end cards again in future

[ripe spire]

Yeah I am, no point for me

[lethal bay]

Probably pick up whatever AMD puts out next gen, assuming they put out a flagship card

[random gyro]

5090 has to be the only gpu EVER to be worth it even at that price

[lethal bay]

debatable as fuck

[random gyro]

i mean the 5090 is INSANE

[lethal bay]

ok

[random gyro]

i dont even use or want nivida im js sayin

[ripe spire]

Maybe with DLSS, I wouldn’t personally value it that highly in terms of price

[sleek ibex]

Same here TBH. Though if I were to for some ungodly reason, I would probably shoot for PNY

[lethal bay]

They’re also retailing for like $2500 dude

[random gyro]

yeah i know

which is wild

[ripe spire]

I’ve used nvidia before, but only bc my dad got me some random 3060 laptop way back when

[lethal bay]

That’s like a fuckin down payment on a used car lmao

[random gyro]

but as time advances the new cards will be worth more and more anyways thats just factual so thats why i said it

[lethal bay]

All I’m saying is if it came between paying for a 5090 and paying what I paid for my XTX, the choice is obvious

[random gyro]

because in 5 years a new nividia will prolly be 3000$ so

oh yeah of course

[ripe spire]

Forgor u had an XTX

W

[random gyro]

but if there was a card worth paying 2500 for i think its the 5090 (no card is EVER worth that much)

[ripe spire]

All nvidia employee should buy AMD cards just for a laugh, they can plenty afford them

[lethal bay]

Would never pay more than $1,900 for a 5090 personally

[random gyro]

lots prolly do

[random gyro]

oh i wouldnt either

[ripe spire]

I wouldn’t personally pay more than £1500 for my next gpu

[random gyro]

but in 10 years lets say the brand new nivida will be like 3500-4000 brand new on release

[lethal bay]

Shit I wouldn’t pay over $1000

I bought my XTX a year ago for $800

[ripe spire]

I feel like the 4090 and 5090 aren’t as impressive releases for me as the 3090ti was, idk why but that was so peak back then

[random gyro]

1080 ti peak

[lethal bay]

Cause 20 series was mid asf

[random gyro]

had a 2060 it was never that good

[sleek ibex]

Definitely not paying the Asus tax

[random gyro]

think anyone witha budget will go xt and i think thats why team red will live on is people like us

that see price to power and value

no one thats not way above wealthy is gonna buy a 5090

and most people here wont buy a 5090 but next thing best outside of a 4090 is def a 7900 soo

[ripe spire]

Love this 😂

[random gyro]

taxing beyond

2 pcs for a 4090 thats worth 1000 usd

[trim idol]

Agreed

Esp with 7900XTXs still beating 5080s in some games/circumstances for $150 less

I'm biggie stoked for 9070XT as well though

[ripe spire]

Sometimes I miss having a gaming laptop, except I also don’t bc the one I had back then had the WORST battery ever, it still does, u unplug it and it died immediately

[drowsy flame]

I think about $1k (before taxes) is my GPU limit

I’ve got $1600 in my checking account right now for a GPU and I literally cannot find something decent to buy. That is sad.

[trim idol]

are you buying in USD?

[drowsy flame]

Yep

I’d really prefer to stay under 1k but I’d be willing to go a little over for an exceptional deal like a 4090

[trim idol]

damn... the 7900XTXs have evaporated on Amazon

[drowsy flame]

Yep, checked those earlier, found one 2 hours away for $1,050

[trim idol]

a week ago there were XFX ones for $849

[drowsy flame]

Best I’ve got so far is a 4070ti super for $850 but I’ve gotta drive an hour to get it

People are panic buying everything because 50 series is unobtainable

[trim idol]

Probably that plus tarrifs

[drowsy flame]

Yep

So I guess I’m between a 4070ti super for $850 or a 7900xtx for $1,050

[trim idol]

4070 Ti super for $850 is the better deal

[drowsy flame]

That’s the plan I think.

[trim idol]

its not that much slower

[drowsy flame]

Unfortunate is the specific model of card

[sleek ibex]

PNY is like how EVGA was for AIBs during 30 series this time around

[trim idol]

oh that weird MSI one!

[drowsy flame]

It’s the cheese grater MSI Expert dual fan

[trim idol]

oooo! in related news, my Intel B580 came today

er. is coming

[drowsy flame]

Nice!

[trim idol]

The B580 AIB cards just quietly came back into stock

got one on new egg for $260

[drowsy flame]

B590 when

[trim idol]

B770 when!!!?!?!?!?!?!

[versed ferry]

We are going to build a wall around LMG and Surrey is going to pay for it.

[trim idol]

LOL

[plush wren]

[drowsy flame]

Build a wall at the US/Canadia border

[plush wren]

build a wall around the usa

[drowsy flame]

Keep ur maple syrup ya moose riders

[trim idol]

Even better, build a wall at the New York border and have the North East US become a different country 😄

[sleek ibex]

B770 sounds appealing NGL

[drowsy flame]

B790

[trim idol]

an intel B770 would have 4070-4080 performance.... I'd pay $600 for that

[sleek ibex]

though I have a suspicion it'll be vaporware

[drowsy flame]

B790 would have 5090ti performance. I’d pay $1200 for that

[trim idol]

Alas, the silicon for that would be MASSIVE

like, so big that they'd get no useable yeilds

[drowsy flame]

We going back to 20nm process let’s goooo

but I'm hopefull

[lethal bay]

It would be awesome given the current state of this new generation but

[trim idol]

New England doesn't care about the great lakes

We don't need to own or conquer things, we just want less lunacy

[sleek ibex]

I just love how here we'll still buy them even if there is a snow storm going on

[spiral estuary]

ik but a lot of people on here know ssd's quite well, so i just want to see other peoples opinion

[trim idol]

Have you done any research though? Like, do you have any front runners?

that initial research may have shown you that 3TB ssds are pretty rare

[balmy jetty]

Yeah I was gonna say, best to pick out 1-3 within your budget then run it by others rather than throw a broad question out

[ashen light]

hey guys, i dont know if i should post this here but i was wondering if i could get some help with a keyboard issue im having, i already posted in tech support but no answer

[robust hull]

disagree, you can search 🙂

[fallow moss]

I gotta run wire from my house to my shed I’m sick of not having WiFi out their

How deep to bury this

[trim idol]

sigh

[trim idol]

are you going to put it in conduit?

[brave brook]

ethernet outside... well, you are a brave soul. You could have bought fibre instead and use two cheap china switches on both side for 10G link; or fiber to rj45 adapters.

is that cable meant for direct burial ? keep in mind, water is enemy, so conduit might be needed. and typically websites say 18-24 inches

[gleaming rose]

o parandroid this is what i ended up buying

[fallow moss]

Nah it says rated underground

[fallow moss]

Fiber how ?

[trim idol]

Then deep enough that you wouldn't accidentally dig it up. It also depends on how cold it gets where you live and where the frost line is.

[fallow moss]

I’m n Georgia

[gleaming rose]

power muncher

[fallow moss]

It’s hot mostly

[trim idol]

12-18 inches should be fine

[fallow moss]

That’s a lot of inches ima go find someone by the hardware store to dig it

But paranoid want I need fiber wire then

[trim idol]

You don't need fiber

[brave brook]

the point is that fiber you do not have to fear lightning strikes. With normal wires, that is another thing you need to be afraid of

[fallow moss]

Yea this a be fine I have good speeds

It’s the metal shed it blocks the signal

[trim idol]

a choice between fiber and ethernet has 0% to do with your ISP speed

[fallow moss]

Oh ok. Well ima just do like u said 18 inches trench and bury it

[trim idol]

that's a valid point, tbh... but a pretty small concern

[fallow moss]

And from what I read I’ll make this router n shed a access point

I ordered this but arrives today but I read this wait be good but ima still try it before I dig and run Ethernet

[brave brook]

and make sure to check cable specs again, you might want to get a plastic conduit for it

[frail delta]

Why are you encouraging running copper twisted pair outside

[brave brook]

is it this ? https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/Jadaol-Ethernet-Waterproof-Resistant-Internet/dp/B0CSG1W417

[fallow moss]

Yes

[brave brook]

then this one is "Direct Burial In-Ground Waterproof", so at least that

[trim idol]

Worked for phone lines for a century

[fallow moss]

Okay so nothing needed right

[frail delta]

At kbps…

[brave brook]

in a way yes. But phone companies can eat the cost of burned hardware from lightning strikes 😄

[frail delta]

Unless you’re going to run conduit, multi core direct bury fibre is a better choice

[trim idol]

I mean, I'd run conduit myself

[fallow moss]

They said this is fine

I’m stressed 😫

[frail delta]

So much time lol

[gleaming rose]

i wish we could get fiber :(

[gleaming rose]

i dont want to have to pay for colo

[fallow moss]

Other than worse case shit happening this will work fine right ?

[trim idol]

That being said, I also have 100ft of cat5 running along the outside of my house

[gleaming rose]

fastest you can get here is 1000/40

[trim idol]

works fine. no packet loss, 3 years in

[gleaming rose]

and thats tmobile 5g lmao, spectrum is a bit slower

[fallow moss]

Yes I think I’ll be fine doing this

Anyone want to come dig this trench.

[frail delta]

Hire a trencher for a couple hours

It’ll be worth it

[gleaming rose]

i want to like call up at&t or xfinity and ask them to route out here

[fallow moss]

Ima see ICE done ran all the good work from Lowe’s AND HOME DEPOT

[gleaming rose]

the only thing i can do is wait and pray ig

unless someone has ideas

[frail delta]

You can get fibre wherever you want if you’re willing to pay 😌

[gleaming rose]

yeah 10 grand lmfao

[frail delta]

That’s cheap as

Definitely highly subsidised

[gleaming rose]

no that was a random guess

[trim idol]

I love watching Linus get passionate about painting

[gleaming rose]

but colocation is expensivee

[frail delta]

You are guessing way too low 🙂

[gleaming rose]

especially when you have a dual xeon server rofl

[frail delta]

That would get you a couple hundred metres provided there’s already duct

im about 1/4 mile from the entrance

i guess colocation it is; i emailed a nearby datacenter to ask for a quote

[gleaming rose]

also thats business only and im just a guy

[trim idol]

You should be able to collocate in a shared rack for just a couple hundred a month

(including power and pipe)

[gleaming rose]

yeah that's too much lmfao

the place i emailed does $50 for 1u in Atlanta, this thing is 2u though and it eats power

i want to do it with hetzner but they're on another continent and charge for power

[woven wigeon]

[gleaming rose]

sim says itll do 400w

[nova lantern]

For anyone in the U.K…

22% off a 9800X3D

I’d buy it but I’m sick of changing parts in my PC constantly lol

[mellow shadow]

You sure that listing is legit?

[boreal vine]

it is

https://amzn.to/3Em8PB2

[mellow shadow]

Damn

[boreal vine]

it's sold by amazon too

[tidal geyser]

the msrp of the 9800X3D is not 600

[tidal geyser]

this is msrp

[nova lantern]

oh then idk wtf amazon is doing

https://youtu.be/88bMVbx1dzM?si=R_8n1Mt6g-mZxmbK

Also coolest shit I've seen, 10,000,000x zoom

[tidal geyser]

supply and demand

[kindred halo]

Should I downgrade my Gigabyte B760M to an MSI B670M-E DDR4 to both save on RAM prices & board itself

I'd be saving close to 100 US and would only be around 10 US over budget as opposed to 100

(Not actual case, still just list)

[terse meadow]

My daisy chain ends in a sata connector but they are all argb fans, im confused

[tidal geyser]

why not upgrade to am5

[cold skiff]

Probably get a brick delivered where an Amazon employee has pinched it. Happened to my mate when he ordered his processor and 4090 not once but twice from Amazon

Even took a photo of the box of the 4090 at his closed front door and saw him run off back to the van with it

[nova lantern]

bruh

[kindred halo]

Expensive as hell

[nova lantern]

I'm trying to sell my CL36 6000mhz ram at almost half price to original and people are trying to get me to sell it at 66% off lol

[kindred halo]

For reference; even a 5 3500X is 130

A 3400G is 160

And it only gets more expensive

[nova lantern]

Get a motherboard CPU combo

Usually knocks off a few $$$

[tidal geyser]

the 7500f is 120
you really do not need a 1kw vrm motherboard for am5 so even a 80$ is plenty and ram you can do anything from 40-80$

so it comes out to like 300$

[kindred halo]

From where

I can't get stuff from amazon

[tidal geyser]

i think you were the guy from somewhere in africa

[kindred halo]

Middle East, Asian sector

[tidal geyser]

you do have more then amazon in Asia

[kindred halo]

What? Aliexpress?

[tidal geyser]

yeah thats one

[kindred halo]

... Where's the /s 😭

I am NOT ordering stuff from Aliexpress

[tidal geyser]

why?

thats where most budget kings buy from

worst case you get your money back

aliexpress is used and recommended so much due to how good it is and how well the buyers are protected

[mellow shadow]

7500F is like $168 on AE

[kindred halo]

I'll check what CPUs & MBs there are then ig

[mellow shadow]

ATP just get an 8500G or something

[kindred halo]

I am just gonna stick with my 105 USD i5-12400

[tidal geyser]

o well, markets outside of the west have such horrible prices some time

[tender badger]

What is the best cheapest external hard drive for PS5?

[tidal geyser]

no

[random gyro]

wd

[tidal geyser]

throw in a new m.2 nvme drive into it

[random gyro]

make it ntfs tho

[tender badger]

Not looking to spend more than 100$ dollars for ps4 game storage

[random gyro]

I have debian on my ps4

[tidal geyser]

klevv c910 and put it in the ps5

should work

[random gyro]

https://consolemods.org

[kindred halo]

What's even the equal for the 7500F in Intel terms

[tidal geyser]

its where you look but from a 12900k to a i5 12600k

[kindred halo]

Then not too different to an i5-12400

I'll just stick with instead

[random gyro]

https://www.psdevwiki.com/

[tidal geyser]

no it is way faster

[kindred halo]

& the B760M DDR4, which is actually fairly well priced (I think)

[kindred halo]

For my applications, requirements, and budget I think it'd be best I just stick with that

Since AM Boards are bogus in price

[tender badger]

Are u guys tryna get my to take the hard drive out of my non existent PS4?

[random gyro]

xD

[tidal geyser]

what?

i am trying to get you to slap a new nvme drive into the ps5

[random gyro]

bro you can use a usb thumb drive also you know that right

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT use a external drive if you want good speeds

[random gyro]

he is talking about a playstation

[tender badger]

My poor 64 gb thumb stick will not handle cod modern warfare

Or cold war for that matter

[terse meadow]

How do I connect these things

[random gyro]

use the consolemods wiki for ref

[tidal geyser]

get a klevv c910 if you are in the US and put it in the upgrade slot

[tidal geyser]

a ps5

[upper palm]

u struggle

[random gyro]

he also said ps4

[tender badger]

I was gonna get a SSD for PS5 games and external hard drive for my PS4 games

[terse meadow]

Do you know if I need to connect the 2 pin?

[tidal geyser]

i would still just get a 4TB nvme if you really want to store it all at the same time

[random gyro]

[tidal geyser]

he does not own a ps4

[tender badger]

I sold my PS4 for PS5 because PS5 plays PS4 games

[random gyro]

oh

[tidal geyser]

YES

[random gyro]

i mean i have the ps5 linux kernel build

and the chip docs

i have 148gb of it

[tender badger]

That is crazy my PS5 came with near latest firmware when I got it so I just updated it

[random gyro]

oh i was apart of gitbrew that made otheros++ for ps3

[tender badger]

Awesome

[random gyro]

ye

use consolemods.org for what u are looking into

they are great for mods and info and all

[tender badger]

Kk I know how to take the PS5 covers off and attach the disc drive other than that's I'm smooth brain when it comes to a PS5

Not even sure where the m.2 slot is

[iron glen]

anyone know if DLCs on steam (shadow of the erdtree or curse of the pharaohs for ex) have sales?
personally i've never seen one

[tender badger]

Waitttttt

[tender badger]

Shadow of the erdtree hasn't been on sale ever so far

Probably won't for a while

Curse of pharaoh has

[iron glen]

i brought it as an example but ok

[tender badger]

Is there a way to use an SD card in PS5?

My mom brought home a 1tb one

[random gyro]

yes if you have a usb transfer cable for it

[tender badger]

Will it even be able to run a PS4 game tho?

[random gyro]

not sure

you know there are emulators for that too

[tender badger]

For what?

[random gyro]

playstation games

[tender badger]

The shadps4 emu but it's still pretty bare isn't it?

[random gyro]

https://pcsx5.org/

[tender badger]

How does it work?

[tender badger]

So the only the emulator does is hack the disc bypass console checks or smth

How don't know how consoles make sure discs only work on said console

[random gyro]

i am not sure how to answer that

https://vimeo.com/681392293

[tender badger]

How do the devs make sure the discs only work for the console they are made for?

[random gyro]

with firmware locking the dvd keys and the chip data sets on the board

https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps5/

https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps5/Publishing_Tools

https://tenor.com/view/knuckles-approved-gif-27640148

[tender badger]

Ok but then I would have to have a PC that can keep up with the ps5

And still doesn't solve my storage problem

Because my pc has a 128gb SSD and a 1tb hdd

[random gyro]

if you want to burn games you could always flash the dvd drive but then you would need dvd dual layer disk to burn the games too

[mental delta]

Ugh this laptop I got says it don't support more than 12gb on their website, it's got 4gb soldered, and I don't have a 16gb stick lying around that I can test it with, what kinda shit laptop only supports a 4gb ram upgrade ;-;

[tender badger]

I don't understand why consoles haven't let you burn updates of a game to it's disc and made discs that fully store all of the game data and don't need to copy it to system yet but idk

[mental delta]

So others can't edit the game files and mod games

[tender badger]

True true but can we not do that rn

[random gyro]

only if there were hackers here 😦

sorry im out of scope

[mental delta]

Lool, there's always work arounds,

[random gyro]

dd goes brrrr i hear

[tender badger]

I'm gonna break PS5 software lol

Till it lets me do what I want to it

[random gyro]

I hear that it's floating around in places if you look hard enough

[tender badger]

If only game devs actually compressed their games😭

[random gyro]

look a jtag xbox emulator

[mental delta]

https://youtu.be/7OwdCc81zHo?si=dc2silwiAqSK8S7y

Can't remember if this also worked for ps5. . . But it exists

[random gyro]

didn't they use something called zeus

[tender badger]

I don't understand why there aren't any people who just hack into the systems hardware itself to jailbreak it

[random gyro]

there are

[mental delta]

Sony using 3rd party stuff like Linux/ bsd so many issues found there will also affect ps

Windows being closed source is whats helping Xbox, else I'm sure it has just as many exploits etc

[random gyro]

i hear they like unity stuff 😛

I also hear they like to sue people

[mental delta]

Lol, what's wrong with unity?

Aside from the issue they had a while back

[random gyro]

🙂

Index of inserthackermansearchtermhere

[mental delta]

The CEO stepped down anyways

[mental delta]

Oh this sounds like something else, not the pricing issue?

[random gyro]

yeah I like the xmb build they did that let u use it in the web browser

[rose stream]

Nearly all of them do. Only ones who don't are the people with already tiny games.

[mental delta]

Lol I'm out of the loop on this one

[random gyro]

I mean wasn't there a massive source code leak not long ago heh

like 148gb of internals

not gonna post it here bc that would be against the rules and i don't like to break rules 🙂

[mental delta]

Unity is more or less open source as is? Well somewhat anyways. . Not the editor itself I don't think

[random gyro]

PS5 SDK Allegedly Leaked

sdk software development kit

[mental delta]

Ah,

[random gyro]

ye it's floating around if you get bored 😉 google.com/advanced_search

I used to write cheats a lot now i try to stay out of jail

[mental delta]

Lol, cheats aren't even that bad these days (legality wise)

Downloading ml models from china tho

Oh my, off with the head!

[versed ferry]

Man I wish that more games had a mod tool like CKAN for Kerbal Space Program. It is so fucking useful. Literally download one .exe from github, has just about any mod you would ever want to download for KSP, lets you easily install and manage them, see what mods work and conflict with others, see what's the max confirmed game update supported, etc. etc. etc. I love PC gaming, and modding is one of the greatest things about it. But my god, modding other games feels so inferior when you experience something like CKAN.

[versed ferry]

That's really cool!

Going to have to look into it

Just started using my PS5 again

Got the Spider-Man 2 PS5. Love it.

[random gyro]

Binding ports locally is interesting with video game consoles

[wanton walrus]

what is an sdk im a bit stupid

[random gyro]

software development kit

[wanton walrus]

oh yea

makes sense

[random gyro]

xbox uses gdk game development kit

[wanton walrus]

k

[random gyro]

windows key +r steam://open/console let's you debug steam again thank me later heh enjoy

[versed ferry]

Given the branding and advertising for Xbox vs Playstation those names should honestly be switched. Since the Xbox One/PS4 generation Microsoft has tried to sell its console as an "Everything box" while Playstation has tried to sell its console as a gaming machine first and foremost. You would think Microsoft would call their devkit a SDK while Sony would call it a GDK

[random gyro]

i hate how microsoft is trying to make xbox application based

[versed ferry]

Yeah I don't know I am mixed. I do like how much they are trying to integrate PC and Xbox. That much I like. They're a lot more open about certain things like mods on their console too

[random gyro]

but they did give us edge and if u use the edge browser on xbox and go to edge://edge-urls i wonder what happens

[versed ferry]

?

I know one thing that's fucking annoying on the Xbox One is that it uses Edge but you can't use extensions like ad block (or just extensions at all) despite being able to go to the page. Sad.

Don't know how it is on the newer Xbox though

I only have the XboxOne

God their names are so fucking stupid too

[random gyro]

you can debug the browser this way it works on the console also

[versed ferry]

Xbox One. Xbox One X/S. Xbox Series X/S

[versed ferry]

That's interesting

Didn't know that

[random gyro]

yeah you can do that with chrome also just change the edge to chrome same with brave vise versa

[versed ferry]

Yeah I know a bit about debug menus and whatnot but I am the equivalent of a script kiddie still when it comes to a lot of things outside of certain niches. Like, I know how to do things from just messing around or looking things up over the years, but half the time I don't know the reasoning behind it nor anything deeper than the surface level. I am just now finally starting to learn to code and whatnot. Wish I would have started it years ago, but whatever. Can't change the past. I remember renting a Web Design for Dummies book as a kid and I think I was still bit too young for that. If it were a year or two later maybe I would have stuck with it

Grew up too late for having to learn to code to use computers, grew up too early to be taught to code in school

sad

[random gyro]

I made this a while back in css and javascript

was my attempt at making a web based 360 dashboard

[versed ferry]

Its looks like a mix between Xbox 360 and Xbox One

That's cool though

[random gyro]

yeah heh

[versed ferry]

Definitely 360esque

[random gyro]

yes sir

i tried to do one for the blades dash and i got way too mad bc of the scroll i was like nope

[wanton walrus]

will vr work ok on the rtx 4060

[random gyro]

yes

[wanton walrus]

k

i wanna play vrchat and beat saber specifically

[random gyro]

I have a 980ti and it runs vrchat just fine

where can i get a quest 2 cheap?

cos i have one but cant use it cos my sister plays on it

and i wanna play at the same time

[gleaming rose]

[wanton walrus]

is it ok to buy one from ebay?

If your willing to take the risk of eBay sure

[wanton walrus]

i mean, will it be too unheiginic and gross?

or should i be fine

[random gyro]

You’ll get bronchitis and die

ok

i doubt it

is the pico 4 good?

Just clean it lol

I mean frankly everything bought off ebay should be cleaned first thing

emm sim can i ask 1 question

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-ham-gif-18682899

[left palm]

if a monitor comes with freesync premium pro
it would still be able to use g sync?

[tidal geyser]

g sync has to have a chip made by nvidia on it

[left palm]

ohh

what about "g sync compatible"

[tidal geyser]

should mean it has the chip in it but just do not worry about that as most people have it off'

[left palm]

ah i see i see

[south arrow]

5080s bundles newegg ❤️

[left palm]

have u seen the raffle for the 5080s at my local store i sent

[south arrow]

I have not been trying all morning so won't be in here much except to share the hope

[gloomy sleet]

disagree i love g sync

[gloomy sleet]

she be waiting there for the rest of her life at this point

[drowsy flame]

Package secured

[cyan bay]

any tips to lower the heat?

im planning on getting a new cpu cooler

[tidal geyser]

do not use speccy

hwinfo64 in sensor mode

[gloomy sleet]

why that one

[cyan bay]

yeah but when I touched the glass it was freaking hot

[drowsy flame]

Was the only one available

[tidal geyser]

speccy is ass

[carmine yew]

do you have decent airflow in your case?

[cyan bay]

yeah ik but that's not my problem

[tidal geyser]

also what were you doing?

[tidal geyser]

yes it is?

cant measure the right temps if the software is utter ass

[cyan bay]

wait imma send a pic

[carmine yew]

If your actual PC case is getting warm (and it should never be hot) then that's a sign that you have garbage airflow and are running an oven

[tidal geyser]

broken fan

[cyan bay]

oh so pc case is the problem?

[tidal geyser]

pic

[carmine yew]

send pics

[cyan bay]

fan was all goods when I used 1050ti

[tidal geyser]

send pic

[carmine yew]

yeah cuz that doesn't generate shit for heat.
Stop procrastinating and show us the goods

[cyan bay]

when I swapped to 3060ti it got hot lmao

pic of front fans

[cyan bay]

wym front? intake?

[tidal geyser]

yus

[cyan bay]

should I just remove the glass to get better airflow

[tidal geyser]

you have 3 fans in the front blowing in

i hope

[left palm]

oh my fingerprints

[carmine yew]

he does, but that front intake has shit for airflow

[tidal geyser]

cola is worse

[carmine yew]

The front of that case has very very little ventilation

[left palm]

is the fans blowing from the bottom actually working?
like some cases doesnt have full mesh bottom

[cyan bay]

very old tried cleaning it but dunno what my sister did to make it look like that

[carmine yew]

well, one is directly over the PSU, so.... no

[cyan bay]

yes it works

[left palm]

yeah...

[carmine yew]

not really

[cyan bay]

should I get a new case?

[cyan bay]

ahh

[left palm]

no
my case also have the mesh thing but the opening at the bottom is only for the psu

not the whole case length

[cyan bay]

ahh

so do i need to get a new case?

[left palm]

no
if its not overheating then no

just check if there are dust buildup

[cyan bay]

got none already cleaned it

[left palm]

how warm is it

oh lord

[carmine yew]

STOP USING SPECCY
jfc

[cyan bay]

when I touched the glass of the case it burns lmao

[carmine yew]

1. Go download HWInfo64 and get actual useful readings

[drowsy flame]

What’s so bad about about the MSI Expert card design lol

[carmine yew]

no it fucking doesn't.

[tidal geyser]

stoppp

[cyan bay]

ik it's bad just using it for checking temps if my stuff is overheating

[cyan bay]

it does tho..

[carmine yew]

Either go get a useful tool or stop asking for help

[gritty grove]

I don't know why, but I have the compulsion to watch the entirety of "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" again.

[cyan bay]

im still letting my pc cool down

[carmine yew]

no it doesn't.
If your case was actually hot enough to burn, your components would literally be on fire

[cyan bay]

alr

what do I download?

[carmine yew]

HWInfo64

[cyan bay]

what tool

[left palm]

https://tenor.com/view/its-shrimple-shrimp-funny-haha-meme-gif-9312733212572166512

[cyan bay]

okay okay ill download that later

[tidal geyser]

now

[cyan bay]

yes sir just gon let it cool down for a bit

[carmine yew]

So things I can tell you:

1. Your front intake is choked to fuck. Try popping off the front panel and see how much that helps.

2. Your CPU will never run "cool" using a stock cooler. You'd have to replace that to get "good" temps.

[tidal geyser]

what

[carmine yew]

don't ask, it won't help

[dusky citrus]

Would one of these fit for my laptop, if so which one, im quite bad with components

[tidal geyser]

¨nv3 is ass

[dusky citrus]

Mb wrong laptoo ss

Meant to sent storage

[cyan bay]

what cooler do u suggest

[dusky citrus]

Not ram

[junior valve]

i think the left one should perform better than the right , i could be wrong

[carmine yew]

most likely, but you'd have to check the laptop to see if there's a free slot or if you have to replace the existing drive.

[cyan bay]

liquid cooler?

[dusky citrus]

Im pretty sure it has a free slot

[cyan bay]

this is the intake of my case💀💀

[carmine yew]

you don't need a liquid cooler on a 3600.
But the stock cooler basically qualifies as "functional"

[eternal cloak]

Nah, the right cooler is their newest stock cooler and performs the best out of all stock coolers they had so far

[cyan bay]

planning on getting a new case but I got a new gpu first

[mental mango]

chat? we might be cooked

[cyan bay]

alright but do I need a better cooler for my 3600?

[junior valve]

the newer one only has 65w tdp while the uglier one has 135

[carmine yew]

depends, are you going to just panic if you see temps over 60c?

[eternal cloak]

Yes because TDP always said so much

[junior valve]

how much front panel breathing space i have

[cyan bay]

I panicked cause the temp got to 90 lmao it usually hovers around 60-70

[carmine yew]

and 90 is still "okay" even if not ideal.

[junior valve]

idk the left one looks abit chonker with thinner m denser fins rate

[cyan bay]

oh okay sure

[carmine yew]

but if you want the temps to be lower, you need to replace the cooler with a better one.

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is amazing and not super expensive

okay okay but my case is not a problem right?

[dusky citrus]

Or can both work but is 1 better

[tidal geyser]

nv2 and nv3 is ass

[carmine yew]

your case is absolutely part of the problem

[carmine yew]

they'd both work, but they're both crap drives

he has pretty good ventilation

[dusky citrus]

Ok what would you recommend

[junior valve]

just avoid kingston

[carmine yew]

no he doesn't. his front intake is choked off to fuck
and the bottom intake is a joke

[tidal geyser]

na

[cyan bay]

okay okay

[carmine yew]

do they have Teamgroup MP44's?

[dusky citrus]

Mu old laptop had a kingston 1tb ssd and it worked fine tho, whats wrong with kingston

[junior valve]

he had mesh front panel tho , atleast 50% of it is mesh

[carmine yew]

not really:

[tidal geyser]

a lot of it is fine but they make a lot of QLC drives

[tidal geyser]

more like 20%

[junior valve]

yea 40%

[dusky citrus]

What does qlc mean?

[tidal geyser]

something you do not want

[carmine yew]

QLC means is stors 4 bits of data per cell of memory
TLC = 3 bits
MLC = 1 bits
SLC = 1 bit

More bits of data in a cell means each cell will wear out faster, since it's accessed more often

[tidal geyser]

qlc are slower and die faster

[plush wren]

Makes sense

[dusky citrus]

Alr and what should i look for instead of said qlc drives

[tidal geyser]

sn580 and mp44l

[junior valve]

this is 5%

[carmine yew]

and his bottom "intake" is more of a joke than the front intake

[dusky citrus]

My country has those but not in that store, and im kinda trying to buy from that store rn cuz i got a small giftcard

[tidal geyser]

sn580?

[carmine yew]

What drives do they have?

[junior valve]

i also have fake front and side intakes made just for lighting

[tidal geyser]

"lists every QLC drive on the market"

[earnest zodiac]

i want to buy a TV mostly to watch stuff but also to sometimes play games. I am pretty sure any nice 4k OLED will look amazing for movies and stuff, but what about input delay? Would any decently expensive TV also not have noticeable lag?

[tidal geyser]

no

[gloomy sleet]

no

[tidal geyser]

sensor only mode

[gloomy sleet]

id just get 2 different ones

[cyan bay]

how

[tidal geyser]

you know how when you started it how it asked if you wanted sensor mode

[broken oar]

chat i spilled water on my laptop yesterdaya bd it stopped working wnd yesterday night it finally tourned on but it was really slow and now today i
opened it it was still so slow so i
opened up tje laptop sprayed it with a blow dryer and now booted it baxk up but its still slow asf pls help

[tidal geyser]

restart it

[broken oar]

i diiid

[drowsy flame]

Thinking about having the metal shroud of my MSI Expert 4070ti super graphics card professionally powder coated black to match the rest of my pc. Am I cooked or would it look cool?

[broken oar]

i crrything in task manager looks normal

[tidal geyser]

install hwinfo64

[broken oar]

whats that

[cyan bay]

oki

[tidal geyser]

hardware info

[dusky citrus]

Costs a fair bit tho

[broken oar]

so how do i rownload thwt

[tidal geyser]

mp44 or mp44l?

[tidal geyser]

google.com
hwinfo64
press website
install with sourceforge
run the installer exe
press sensor mode
start and try to do some stuff then send a picture of that window

[dusky citrus]

No

[tidal geyser]

what store is it?

[earnest zodiac]

would an oled monitor that wouldn't have a terrible lag be expensive?

[tidal geyser]

not the installer the app

[earnest zodiac]

I am not talking competitive shooters, just some singleplayers

[dusky citrus]

Klick

[tidal geyser]

xd

[cyan bay]

why cant I find it

[tidal geyser]

kinda a major point of OLEDs ALL OLEDs is the low input delay

[tidal geyser]

the actual app that you installed

[dusky citrus]

I mean i could go for 1tb instead

[cyan bay]

it's not appearing

[dusky citrus]

Idk, its a new laptop tho

Gonna have it for a while

[broken oar]

and also just saying the time is wrong on my laptop too its stuck in th wrong time wheb the incident hapoened and continuing from there

[cyan bay]

found it

[earnest zodiac]

i have a qd oled from alienware and it's amazing but idk if it's different with TVs

[carmine yew]

you realize that pic was HWInfo64, right?

[cyan bay]

what to do

[rapid lake]

Can i use an asus b450m motherboard for a ryzen 7 5800x or do i really need a b550?

[carmine yew]

scroll down, look for temps

[carmine yew]

if you update the bios to support a 5800x, you can absolutely use a b450

[rapid lake]

But does it have weak vrm or?

[carmine yew]

What's your current CPU?

[carmine yew]

that depends on the board, not the chipset

[rapid lake]

Only have that cpu, no motherboard yet

[carmine yew]

if you're buying a board, why not get a B550? They're better

[rapid lake]

A bit expensive

[rigid fjord]

not for a lg c2/c3 though a samsung s95 or qn90b/c/d or qn95b/c/d, though you can check their reviews on rtings.com

[broken oar]

alr installing the hw info thing for this water damage issue

[cyan bay]

is 70-80 °C alright?

[rapid lake]

I thought i could get away with a b450 board

[carmine yew]

is that at mostly idle, or under full load?

[carmine yew]

you can, but a b550 shouldn't really cost much more

[cyan bay]

im running elden ring

in idle it goes from 60-70

[tidal geyser]

he has never once used hwinfo64

only 3 pictures

[cyan bay]

oh cpu good

[slate blaze]

i can plug my graphic card to any of these connectors right? https://i.hidend.me/i/HY0znto.png

[carmine yew]

#tech-chat-1 message

[broken oar]

lol these pictures were from wheb i bought this laptop im having this issue with 1 yr. ago lol

[carmine yew]

the 6 pin ones are for SATA, not GPU

[broken oar]

thats som1 else bro

[tidal geyser]

go up

[slate blaze]

oh

[carmine yew]

he posted HWInfo 64 before that, and you replied to it 😛

[tidal geyser]

all of dis is for cpu and gpu

[tidal geyser]

i think you are getting this the wrong way around since abdu has never once used hwinfo

[tidal geyser]

it works

[boreal vine]

can I get more pixels please

[tidal geyser]

why was it normal for you

[slate blaze]

thanks a lot!

[tidal geyser]

wtf why does it sometimes work as it should other times not

[boreal vine]

wdym normal

[carmine yew]

it looked fine to me

[tidal geyser]

its not super light

[broken oar]

@tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

this is how it should look

[tidal geyser]

i have HDR on

[worthy sage]

Bro usps starting to piss me off, my package for my power supply sat at my local USPS store for a full day and now my ram sticks are doing the SAME thing

[boreal vine]

it looks lighter af to me

[tidal geyser]

you did the same thing, close it then start it again but press sensor

[tidal geyser]

plenty good temps

[worthy sage]

Check it out

[cyan bay]

it's consistently staying at 80 rn? is that bad?

[tidal geyser]

95c is when you should look for a new cooler

[carmine yew]

it's not low, but if it stays under 95, you're not going to have problems.

[cyan bay]

just staying at 80 rn and lowk increasing from 83-85

[cyan bay]

okay great

nah my cooler is testing me

[carmine yew]

did you try taking off the front panel of the case yet?

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[cyan bay]

suddenly gone up to 95💀

[cyan bay]

not yet

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[broken oar]

@tidal geyser is this right? (sry if i opened the erong thing im not the best woth these dtuff)

[tidal geyser]

its the right thing

[carmine yew]

you have 2 choices:

1. Stop watching temps and just let it run how it runs.

2. Get a new cooler and get better temps

[cyan bay]

bro my case is hot and gpu is hot too I think i need a new case and cooler

[tidal geyser]

but it just looks like the laptop is in a low power state, looks more like it might just be windows in eco mode or the bios in eco mode

[cyan bay]

when I touch gpu and stick my hand too long it burns

[broken oar]

so what should i do my g

the time is stuck too so that wpuld make sense tbh

[strong orbit]

Guys I just shat bricks, going back to the shop right now.

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaa, i would go into the bios and try to find a profile or power management thing and set it to max performance

[strong orbit]

This is why the IHS was askew

[broken oar]

r u sure

wouldnt that mske it max performance always and always

[tidal geyser]

well it is what i can try to do from here

[broken oar]

(since i use this for school)

[south arrow]

What a weird 7500F lol

[tidal geyser]

you can just turn it off worst case

[tidal geyser]

did you boot into window?

[strong orbit]

no and I don't think I need to

[tidal geyser]

i would

[boreal vine]

goddamn, did you just get scammed?

[tidal geyser]

also was it open box?

[boreal vine]

man that sucks

[tidal geyser]

can just be msi mislabeling stuff

but yeah the IHS aint normal

well it was printed by amd but it looks delided

[boreal vine]

the ihs looks mint

[tidal geyser]

no

it is a tiny bit scewd

[strong orbit]

Transistors or capacitors stuff doesnt look Ryzen 7 either

[carmine yew]

Do you realize what 65C translates into for people?

And before you said "touch your case" not "Touch and hold the GPU"

[lethal bay]

Have you considered not doing that

[boreal vine]

tkitch, I have a board that you would definitely hate

[lapis condor]

It's been swapped

[boreal vine]

[rigid fjord]

ou ee ou ah ah,||ting tang walla walla bing bang||

[boreal vine]

i ordered this bad boy

[carmine yew]

65C = ~150F

Which is a bit over 50 degrees above body temperature. SO YES THAT IS TOO HOT FOR YOUR FINGERS.

Fortunately your GPU is not made of flesh, so it doesn't give a fuck about that.

[tidal geyser]

really really sure it has been swapped

[broken oar]

also, if tou dont mind could you tell me how i can do this?

[quick stag]

fresh arch install

[broken oar]

and is it certain this is not due to the water damage

[neat flame]

yea even at 40-42°C on my phone it burns

65 would be crazy

[tidal geyser]

well really sure water damage did a lot of bad things

[carmine yew]

but did you know that you're not supposed to hold onto a running GPU backplate to see how hot it is?

[tidal geyser]

buuu i want flesh gpus

[bronze summit]

Me when my dad unplugs the computer to save 4 dollars a month when I have important shit that needs hours of rendering

https://tenor.com/view/mads-mikkelsen-smoking-gif-24232377

[tidal geyser]

use your gpu

[bronze summit]

I am

[true stirrup]

pay your dad the 4$

[bronze summit]

I do, with much more

[trim idol]

nahhh.... use your body as a heat sink

[boreal vine]

Balkan parents moment?

[bronze summit]

Uninformed Parents moment

[boreal vine]

my one turns off my monitors when I'm not at home (it saves like 4cents)

[tidal geyser]

use more of your gpu

[bronze summit]

They think that my computer ALONE is the sole cause of high power bills

[boreal vine]

now that I live on my own and pay for my own electricity, it is definitely not the cause of high power bills

[trim idol]

all other power is free power

[smoky karma]

what makes my electric expensive is my electric shower and the heating pump is electric.

[boreal vine]

you know what is? hot ass showers
