darn pcie subsystem inits from multiple points, fighting for the host flag

[chilly sage]

Like I said

[solid quail]

Yeah it is. Couldn't find a picture of those actual pcie sbc cards sadly

[chilly sage]

I have a b550 Aorus gigabyte board

[minor sleet]

I think some exist for Pi’s

Pi 5 is perfectly capable

Mostly

[solid quail]

There are some industrial x86 ones that use socket 1155, couldn't find the picture though

[minor sleet]

Intel phi also but its MEGA OLD

[chilly sage]

Look at this old build closely

[sharp ivy]

I have an Asrock Z270 Pro4

[solid quail]

Five years ago, I had a chance to buy one for 30€, but didn't do it. I'm still pissed about that

[sharp ivy]

Fantastic

[minor sleet]

What’s the prob- crayola makes a keyboard?

[left dove]

the fucking crayola keyboard 😂

god I kinda like it

[minor sleet]

I thought they only made food

[chilly sage]

Im an autistic bastard who loves have dumb crayola keyboards with full size GPUs strapped to mini PCs

[left dove]

that's a mood

[minor sleet]

Full sized pc strapped to mini gpu

Also known as an iGPU

[trim flicker]

ive seen one of these before irl

[granite sundial]

I can barely even get both thread holes on my cooler engaged with the screws is that normal

[chilly sage]

Yeah I just like cutting metal in order to go from m.2 to Pcie x16 then just throw a PSU under a desk

[minor sleet]

But m.2 is only x4

[chilly sage]

🙂

[minor sleet]

:)

[granite sundial]

I'm worried I'll break something if I torque it all the way down

[solid quail]

Oo and this was the 0€ gaming pc project I built a while back

Gtx 750ti, i5 7500, 120gb ssd and a 1tb hdd

[chilly sage]

I mean solid system

[solid quail]

Fine for HTPC use and some older games

Maybe e-sports titles, but nothing too complex

[minor sleet]

HTPC?

[chilly sage]

I hate those OEM Blower Coolers but still for not paying anything can't argue with you

[solid quail]

Home theater pc

[minor sleet]

Oh

I prefer HPC

[livid mason]

Should I buy a new GPU (Lets go AMD cause cheap) so my PC is %100 mine and then try selling it for some profit, and just kinda rinse and repeat?

[chilly sage]

This is my HTPC

I have it run Kodi

[solid quail]

There are some situations where blower designs are actually a godsent

[chilly sage]

Agreed

Skill issue

[chilly sage]

The Toaster PC uses a Temu Mini PC as the main board I then designed a bigger heatsink for Passive Cooling

[random gyro]

i pressed find on my airpod case when i was asleep and that shit woke me up bruh

[solid quail]

Like those SFF cases, a standard low profile cooler would be horrible there

[shrewd timber]

What does everyone think of the desktop being here

[cunning cloud]

is this a good board for $149, im getting it in a discount if i pair with a 7700x? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cPNYcf/gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax-v2-atx-am5-motherboard-b650-gaming-x-ax-v2

[chilly sage]

This is my main system

[livid mason]

I like the AIO

[shrewd timber]

Windows 10 is running like absolute dog water

[livid mason]

Mines very bland 😭

[chilly sage]

I just like building something from literally nothing

[livid mason]

Thats so real

[shrewd timber]

Mine runs like dog water

[cosmic stratus]

like that little display there

[cosmic stratus]

is it😭

[livid mason]

My friend is gonna give me a LGA 1200 board for my Intel 10th gen that I'll turn into a server

[livid mason]

Nice graphics card tho

I like the 3 fan cards

[chilly sage]

Oh it was car dashcam I stole the plug and ran 12v via molex

[cosmic stratus]

thanks its a vega 56

[livid mason]

Mines only two, Idk what it is with me

[livid mason]

Oh, well... 😭

[cosmic stratus]

whats wrong

[livid mason]

Actually know nothing about Vegas

[livid mason]

Hang on my words have no meaning yet lemme get some research in

[cosmic stratus]

oh it's a less than 100$ card that can come close to the 3060 with tweaks

[livid mason]

Oh sweet!

Way better than I thought

[chilly sage]

About the same power of my gpu

[livid mason]

I have a 3060 ti

[cosmic stratus]

just dont play modern games on it bc its not getting anymore drivers

[solid quail]

I would get the aorus one if possible

[livid mason]

😔

Always killing off the old cards

Grrrr

[fringe prairie]

yes

[chilly sage]

I just don't play modern games to need a good GPU I would be fine with a 960 tbh

[cosmic stratus]

stock is faster than 1070. Manufacturers OC makes it match an rtx 2060 exactly. And with an extra OC+ memory OC and Bios mod AND power unlock to like 325-400watts its roughly the rtx 3060 12gb

[chilly sage]

Most demand title I play is Fallout NV

[solid quail]

I was fine with an HD 4870 a year ago when I tested it and was too lazy to put my main gpu back in

So I ended up having the 4870 in my system for two weeks

[cosmic stratus]

NO HARDWARE MODDING REQUIRED

[chilly sage]

I should've went with a 1030 or a 6400 Im just too busy to game really...

[shrewd timber]

I’m running on Intel GMA 950 Graphics on Windows 10

[cosmic stratus]

its all software and easy to do

[cunning cloud]

is it worth the extra $85?

[cosmic stratus]

right? its not that old (I guess imo) its from 2017

[livid mason]

Damn really?

They should be making drivers still then 😭

[cosmic stratus]

yep its the gtx 1070 competitor

[solid quail]

The board you're looking at currently has quite shitty vrms for a board in that price range

[chilly sage]

I really want to build my original system I had as a kid

[sturdy thistle]

A GTX 960 is pretty good still, ngl

[solid quail]

Like the board you're now looking at is possibly fine for the 7700x, but if you might want to get something faster down the line, the board might be a limiting factor

[chilly sage]

Sempron with 512MB of DDR with a 120GB HDD

[cunning cloud]

mm yea i doubt ill upgrade for like the next 4 years

[chilly sage]

Socket 754

[solid quail]

You never know for sure tbh. You'll likely be fine with the ax v2, but if you can stretch the budget for the better board, I'd very much recommend you do it

[sturdy thistle]

Sata or IDE?

[cunning cloud]

honestly i was gonna sell the ram it comes with anyway so maybe i can just save the 85 from there

[solid quail]

The aorus comes with ram?

[chilly sage]

IDE

[livid mason]

Okay not to bad, this is only Deepseek 1.5b tho

[formal matrix]

Any idea if this will eat around 8.5a. From my knowledge this track is old ah and while it reportedly states that it appears to handle the standard 15a max, thing’s nearly 20 years going on moderate use til recently as an interim piece til I can get another PFS.

[livid mason]

Lets see how my gpu (3060 ti) handles higher parameters

[formal mulch]

hey guys im looking to buy a new wifi adapter, what would you guys recommend

[cunning cloud]

its a bundle with ram, mobo and cpu included

[solid quail]

Oohhh did you use chipset graphics Or did you have a separate gpu

[livid mason]

7b looking kinda scary

[cosmic stratus]

Look for intel wifi 7 or wifi 6 cards

look up reviews for the ones you're interested in

[livid mason]

14b, getting real slow

[junior valve]

corsair h150i?

[livid mason]

Idk whatever it is it looks nice

[formal mulch]

im gonna be honest, i wouldnt really know how to install it lol. I never built a pc and the one im using is used

[junior valve]

yea its a h150i

[cosmic stratus]

so you dont know how to install pcie devices

[left dove]

portable monitors with vrr

oh wait this isn't the google bar

[formal mulch]

nah, embrassingly enough

[cosmic stratus]

learning how to build stuff is easy fr, it just adult lego

[formal mulch]

true that, ive been wanting to do my own build for awhile

[left dove]

god at least if I'm gonna have that kind of fuckup, it's me trying to search for portable displays and not something else

[formal mulch]

i dont think i have the proper screwdriver to install and remove pcie devices atm

[cosmic stratus]

philips will do

mine uses that anyway

did you check to see what screws are holding it in

[livid mason]

I think I can conclude my pc clocks out at 32b

[formal mulch]

nah its been a minute since ive looked inside my pc

[cosmic stratus]

its a screw that secures this part of the pcie bracket

that slot you see at the bottom of that end

idk why they have it in this orientation but yea

[jolly zenith]

A 240mm aio enough for a Ryzen 7 9700x?

[formal mulch]

okok give me a second im gonna open up my pc

The wifi card is hiding behind that, but idk how to move that as well 🤦‍♂️

[trim flicker]

you cant

[barren birch]

The gpu market implosion is so satisfying to watch, I can't wait to turn a profit on my used cards.

[south arrow]

Newegg 5080 bundles up ❤️

[barren birch]

I'm speculating to see if the 7900xt used price will go up, hopefully they reach $950-1000

Then I can sell for a massive profit over my original purchase price.

[trim flicker]

welp looks like im not affording a new gpu for a while then

[barren birch]

First time?

[trim flicker]

nah ive been through the first wave of shortages

1650 for like 200 bucks

[barren birch]

See you on the other side when I buy a 4070 super for $300 in 2 years.

I have my watch set.

[lapis condor]

Funny if you think it'll get that cheap that fast

[barren birch]

Historical trends indicate this behavior.

[formal mulch]

Oh

[barren birch]

The used market in late 23/24 will likely behave like that in 27/28

[lapis condor]

Current trends indicate that ai is here to stay and people want to run llms at home, which the 40 series is great at

Also, 30 series is still holding its value real well

[barren birch]

The 4070 is an awful proposition for LLM, can't even run a 14B.

[barren birch]

This is exactly what was said and observed at the onset in 2020, so I'm not buying it.

The spike dramatically raised the price of the 2 previous generations and they dropped just as hard at the end.

[lapis condor]

You think the average person is smart enough to know that?
They'll buy it for the sake of the idea they have in their head and it'll be funny to point and laugh at them

[wispy thunder]

I mean yes and no - just a while ago you needed a 3090 to do image generation now you can do it on a 3060

[barren birch]

No, so I will profit off of their impatience.

[wispy thunder]

Yes as models become more complex you'll need more vram but they also become more efficient

[barren birch]

We will certainly see.

The liquid value of all my gpus is rising, which is nice to see.

I will probably sell everything besides my 3090/TitanXP/Tesla p41.

[wispy thunder]

I wouldn't count out a 4070 to handle an LLM just a couple years from now still

[barren birch]

In a couple of years

The 4070 will also be cheap in a couple of years.

Or maybe it won't be and NVDA continues to rise, either way I win.

[wispy thunder]

I mean again it's like, people who bought 3060 never expected to do anything like what it can do now

[rare musk]

do you intentionally type nvda

[barren birch]

Yes it's the stock symbol, hence the rising.

[rare musk]

ah

[barren birch]

This bubble seems mostly artificially driven by the 50 series launch, I don't believe the demand has risen insurmountably.

We are what, 2 weeks in, and people are already losing their shit.

From the leaks, which were almost entirely credible, it was known that supply would be bad.

[lament tartan]

The 5000 series comes around the time that everybody would want to be upgrading out of the 2000 and 1000 series GPUs

The demand is certainly inflated but how much I don't know because money these days is tight

[left dove]

walking on a dream

how can i explain

talking to myself

will i see again?

~We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it~

[thorn pewter]

i once remember dreaming that i woke up and them drmt that when i woke up i woke up from another dream, and went on with my day, and before i went to sleep i woke in in actual reality

i was like 5/6 at the time, still gives me reality check every now and then

i sometimes wonder why i vividly remember my life at that period

[north oracle]

I don't know if this is.. a thing? But I filled my spacebar and a few other keys on my SA cap set and by goodness the sound and feel is awesome

[rare musk]

i think its a thing

but i didnt hear before

what exactly did you use

and holy shit its fucking 6 am???

istg we live in a simulation and someone messed up the time

[clear canyon]

why are u up so late

ur gonna sleep the day off now

[swift moss]

Bring back google assistant!

[rare musk]

google ass is tent

[north oracle]

Oh! I ment to say. Hot glue.

[rare musk]

howd u made sure of filling it properly?

[north oracle]

I just threw it in there and hoped for the best

[lusty stratus]

I have some Bluetooth earbuds that I use to just chill with at the PC. When I try to use them for Discord calls, I cannot hear my PC sounds. Only Discord. When I can hear my PC sounds, both input & output sounds like ass.

Does anyone know why? I have a Bluetooth 5.3 USB dongle. Using them to make calls on my phone works completely fine

[rare musk]

dang, hows the key bounceback, i assume every key is heavy af now

[north oracle]

Yeah my spacebar is probably a bit too heavy. Overall, it didn't add that much weight.

[north oracle]

Yep. That's Bluetooth audio on windows for you.

If you look it's technically look like two different audio devices in windows. When you interface with Bluetooth headphones and also use the microphone there isn't enough bandwidth to transmit them at high quality so the audio quality is lowered, drastically. It's called like AG Hands Free Audio or something?.

[lusty stratus]

hmm at least it's good to know it's not an issue that only I'm having :/

[lusty stratus]

How come it works so well on mobile though

While also transmitting normal sounds

And for some reason, the signal strenth of my phone is so much stronger than using the USB dondle

[umbral sable]

You can switch back iirc in settings

[swift moss]

X

[left dove]

gemini is objectively better nowadays

[swift moss]

X

If it can do 100 percent of assistant features

I'll cave

[formal sonnet]

Usually because phones / tablets have much better Bluetooth support baked into their OS.

It seemingly a Windows issue. I've wondered this for a while, but as far as I know Windows implementation of Bluetooth is fucking awful.

[somber pier]

can the Asus Prime B450M-A II Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard do a CPU-less BIOS flashback?

[somber pier]

my payment of 150$ for bios update is no longer needed, Geek Squad

dude, u can get a usb flashdrive and flash the bios urself

just follow the directions on the mobo manufacturer's website and they will have the steps there

[north oracle]

I do not.

[thorn pewter]

go on

[random gyro]

Can you send me memory/vram temp if that's cool?

[flint badger]

is this a good deal for 225 itll come with a ryzen 7 7700

or is this better for 160

[random gyro]

I'm trying to compare it to my own temps to see if they're "normal"

[thorn pewter]

generaly from 30c to 55 c would be fine, you are good

[random gyro]

Thanks appreciate for the lookout

[thorn pewter]

if its a real deal then yeah go for it, this cpu can even handle the 5090 fine btw

[flint badger]

so the 225 deal over the 160

[thorn pewter]

yes

[flint badger]

ok thanks alot ive been looking for a tech channel like this i will more then likely be around here more

[oblique terrace]

Damn, didn't know I had a Rolex did y'all 😆

[limber nacelle]

yes

[thorn pewter]

too good

what was the listing selling it too

[flint badger]

dope i got it yesterday for my build

he listed at 400

talked em down to 325

[thorn pewter]

hmm nice

[severe cairn]

how do i imrpove my setup

im actually lost.

i cant do anything anymore

[flint badger]

ive been testing it adn everything seems good iw as running lords of the fallen on 4k 80-90 fps

[flint badger]

[flint badger]

well first things first is to clean

[severe cairn]

[steel umbra]

you could sell it for like $40 😆

[flint badger]

then send update photo after might need to organize whats being used and whats not next

[severe cairn]

cleaned

now what

[flint badger]

so u want like wires gone or what whats your goaal for the setup

[severe cairn]

i think my setup is good should i change pc cases

[flint badger]

are you looking aesthetic wise or performance

[severe cairn]

tell me a good small pc case

i have a micro atx board and a small gpu

[flint badger]

oh idk could prob look around my case is huge and steel lol

[drowsy flame]

First start with cleaning brother

[flint badger]

ahh okok could go for a micro glass case since your not putting it on tile

[severe cairn]

i bought a new small case now what

[drowsy flame]

Poggers. I use a G Skill LT1 mini tower

[flint badger]

seems like u got it handled my guy

Trade you for a 6 pack of beer

[steel umbra]

[severe cairn]

ok bro

[long goblet]

you put the side back on?

[severe cairn]

the panel?

yeah ofc

[long goblet]

sidenote: i really don't understand you people that want to look at lights.

doesn't that kill your nightvision?

[viscid star]

So the VPN guide on LTT was decent however it fails to mention how to set a server password via the data

The one with Vultr

[long goblet]

dunno what a vpn web panel is

this whole thing seems too complicated for me.

i'll stick with editing wireguard configs manually.\

besides, the point of a VPN is generally to obfuscate your ID to any particular website.

how does that work if the only traffic coming from a particular IP is you?

[left dove]

and staring at a display doesn't?

[viscid star]

The VPN guide is simple but relies on an SSH key only which is a security flaw as if someone had a password as well it would be an additional layer of protection and allow for Vultr management applications on iOS that would allow you to manage the server

Hence why they should make a follow up video

I meant if they had the private key they could access the server

[signal bridge]

anyone knows the solution for event id 153 ?

[trim flicker]

yeah, its ctrl+c and you open a browser tab then ctrl+v and get your answer

[signal bridge]

jokes apart but i have read every forum out there tried every possible solution , still not working for me 🤧

[hexed tapir]

smh you place your headphones on your monitor?!

[severe cairn]

always have

why do you worry?

Hey guys. I’m still having a few issues with my new pc. When I turn it on it boots up the. Shuts off but so I have to press the power button again for it to fully boot. I’ve tried reseating the RAM but it didn’t change anything. What should I do next?

[trim flicker]

sounds like a bad psu

[plucky frost]

can i restrict internet access for one application?

[lost halo]

I think it is the psu but it’s a brand new corsair rm1000x

And It didn’t have this issue a week ago before I reinstalled RAM

[trim flicker]

ah, what specs do have it could be a loose cable

inquire more in #1027757333117415424 tho

[lost halo]

Mb is b850

I’m running a 9800x3d with a 4070s and 64gb ram

[thorn pewter]

Is that couch from IKEA?

[trim flicker]

nah

[thorn pewter]

Looked like it, i.love there furniture

[rapid quarry]

You said you reseated the ram but how does it do with only one stick?

[trim flicker]

yknow what i love from ikea tho

[lost halo]

I haven’t tried that yet

[true drift]

i need to check my computer's engine

[iron glen]

i think its the shark, can't quite put my finger on it

[lost halo]

Other issue is that I haven’t been able to open the bios

[thorn pewter]

6 blajhs?

[trim flicker]

i barely remember the count but i have 14 in total

[rapid quarry]

If it boots up on one, gradually add your sticks back until you run into an error. If this is the case, you have a single bad stick which can be rma’d

[thorn pewter]

So you just buy one every time you go there, tbh that doesn't sound bad lol

[trim flicker]

ive been once

[thorn pewter]

So you're a go once buy all type

[trim flicker]

money

[thorn pewter]

It's worth it tho

[lost halo]

I would be really disappointed if I had a bad stick. It registers the full 64 gb available in windows

[thorn pewter]

U get fluffy guy, can't complain lmao

[lost halo]

Could it be motherboard related?

Or I might get lost in the plant section that looks hella pretty

I would like to respond with something meaningful, but my lack of knowledge on that game forces me to keep quiet

Surprisingly, I don't really play that much games tbh

[split laurel]

So I'm upgrading to a 5070 ti and I have a 1440p 240hz monitor for a second monitor should I get a 4k 144hz for games that aren't fps intensive or get another 1440p 240hz?

[random gyro]

Changed to thermal right fans chat

[haughty compass]

does anyone know if there is anything I can get to raise my monitor up by 1 - 2 inches? (I live in a dorm so I cant just get an arm to attach to the desk and I dont have any hard cover books)

I looked on amazon and all the monitor stands are like 3-4 inches minimum

[formal sonnet]

Step 1) visit your local thrift / used book store
Step 2) ???
Step 3) profit from your raised monitor

[haughty compass]

The only bookstore near me thats currently still open near me is the university bookstore

the rest are 40min+ walk away

I know there used to be one across the block but it shut down a few years ago :/

[torn salmon]

Might be dumb question but for a UPS do you still use a power strip that plugs into the UPS or just plug everything into the UPS instead?

[hexed tapir]

shoulve spent more money on parts and not rgb smh

[cedar hollow]

LETS GOO! Restock!!

[gentle turtle]

can i plug multiple speakers into my mobo?

[random gyro]

Came with an old AIO that got sent to me for free

[bronze summit]

Ever just

See so many cool shit in a DLC to the point that you're just contemplating about buying said DLC

[fervent moth]

Is there anyway I can get my gpu temps lower when playing games its sitting at 75-80c and fans sound like they are going to take off I’m using 2070super it’s 5 years old

[bronze summit]

Like it feels like they're saying straight to me "Mmmmm nah you can't have this cool mask it's DLC only"

[tidal geyser]

Maybe

[tidal geyser]

Normal temps but worth a repaste

[junior valve]

i ve seen these before

[fervent moth]

Ah ok Thankyou would pasting reduce temps? Or it just protects it

I’ll order some today

Any specific brand you’d recommend for paste?

This one ok

[random gyro]

Different model of fans, only sold on the aio. I’ve used these daily for over 1 year now in my other pc. They’re fine

[junior valve]

mines prob a bad batch

[random gyro]

prob

[junior valve]

upgraded to corsair since they look better

[random gyro]

fair

[gentle turtle]

it has 6 ports but which would be audio

[sleek ibex]

Yes. It's recommended very regularly here

[tidal geyser]

All of them

[limber nacelle]

????

I dont see any in stock

[cedar hollow]

read what i sent again

closely

[limber nacelle]

am I missing something other than it being ampere

for all I know they could've found some old stock in the middle of butt fuck nowhere

[cedar hollow]

oh. yeah no

that’s just a super old page i thought i could troll with

[limber nacelle]

oh lol

no I saw that it was ampere and was like, huh, guess they found some old stock

hope it's cheap

a cheap 3090ti would be nice

[cedar hollow]

i was poking fun at the 50 paper launch

30 series back in stock baby

[limber nacelle]

paper? shit is a whole ass match

flammable

[plucky frost]

how much ram is normal to use with only discord open

[cedar hollow]

i think not paper
i think is vapor

[elder quarry]

It’s just a web application

[sleek ibex]

The crazy thing is

[plucky frost]

my pc is using 59GB of ram and i have two applications open

what is going on

[cedar hollow]

bro is running premiere pro and discord

[plucky frost]

voicemeeter and discord 😭

[elder quarry]

Anti malware service executable once took 6GB of my 16 gigs so

[sleek ibex]

Is that here in the states (if you can even get a 5090) if you can get a PNY model, and get an Optimus Waterblock for it..... It would still be cheaper than what other AIBs are going for here. What a fucking wacky time to be alive

[elder quarry]

Yes

[sleek ibex]

Since AIBs like Asus, MSI, Gigabyte are being slammed with Tariffs and such

[elder quarry]

Armoured ssd

[limber nacelle]

kekw

[limber nacelle]

oh so after your card catches on fire the waterblock can put it out

thats some forward thinking right there

[vale reef]

howwww much per litre? @-@

[sleek ibex]

I'm not sure how I feel about getting one of the most expensive waterblocks on the market with an AIB not slammed by tariffs that would still be cheaper than getting an Asus, MSI, or gigabyte card

[plucky frost]

damn discord uses 4GB of ram

[gentle turtle]

how do i select multiple audio devices

[tidal geyser]

You first plug them in

[gentle turtle]

yes

i have done that

and been troubleshooting since

[sleek ibex]

Though then again, Optimus has a reputation of delaying production and shipping so who knows for sure

[tidal geyser]

What motherboard do you have?

[gentle turtle]

asrock b450 steel legend

[gentle turtle]

im trying to get my sub to work through the oragne

[tidal geyser]

This is what asrock gives ya

https://download.asrock.com/Drivers/All/Audio/Realtek_Audio(v6.0.9231.1).zip

You need this driver

[gentle turtle]

thank you

[mellow shadow]

Just plug in whatever you feel like

[granite sundial]

why can I not find any solid info on what kinda fan curve I should set for a CPU cooler

thermal right don't have a guide like arctic either

[mellow shadow]

Standard out of box fan curve should be fine

Maybe tweak it a little but it’s not gonna make much of a difference

[gentle turtle]

why sub no work

[granite sundial]

do I crank ram up times too? bios will only let me set step up to 0.7 and down to 1.0 seconds though

[mellow shadow]

What stuff are you running?

[rigid fjord]

he'll also need to get the control panel via ms store, as nowadays the drivers haven't been cooming with that bit

[granite sundial]

phantom spirit 120 se on a 7600, with 3 p14 max intakes and a 120mm phanteks exhaust

CPU is at 48c in the bios that seems way too high

[rigid fjord]

you need the control panel and then go through the advanced device settings to seperate all mic and speaker ports

[tidal geyser]

its not

[mellow shadow]

118.4 is fine

[rigid fjord]

unlike humans, it wont melt at that temp

[mellow shadow]

Also no need to mess around with RAM settings just enable XMP/EXPO and you should be fine

[gentle turtle]

what do i do here?

[mellow shadow]

Shhhhhh

You didn’t see anything

[tidal geyser]

show me your speaker setup

well cableing

[idle knoll]

What are the best budget 65% keyboards

[rigid fjord]

enable these

[tidal geyser]

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=What+are+the+best+budget+65%25+keyboards

[granite sundial]

huh I can still hear fans even with just windows nothing open

maybe it's gpu

[gentle turtle]

spekers

[rigid fjord]

@gentle turtlethis is what mine looks like, it changes based on brand and mobo

[granite sundial]

no gpu fan is off what can I hear then

[gentle turtle]

when i plug the sub into the green jack it works but in any others no sound

[granite sundial]

I think it's the PSU wtf

[rigid fjord]

is the subwoofer one appearing in the playback audio side on the main part?
also is the subwoofer and speakers on the desk one system or are they separately connected?

[gentle turtle]

they each have their own aux

[gentle turtle]

yes

its the bottom one

[rigid fjord]

nope, the digital one is not the sub connection, show the full pic, not a cut down version

[gentle turtle]

so its not detecting it ?

[rigid fjord]

now send full pic of the advanced device settings

[gentle turtle]

its plugged into orange

[rigid fjord]

yeah, it's not being detected properly, hmm, need to check what your audio is being set up as in windows

on the configure settings

[gentle turtle]

so when i test it in configure it works

[rigid fjord]

what did you test it as ?

[gentle turtle]

sub

5.1 surround

[rigid fjord]

do you have it setup fully as 5.1 via configure?

[gentle turtle]

ye

[rigid fjord]

checked back on the realtek control panel?

[gentle turtle]

if i click on the sub sound comes out

why no work

this made it start working

[tidal geyser]

swap center subwoofer output?

[gentle turtle]

it works now

[gentle turtle]

when i selected this

thank you for the help

annoyingly it's between windows sound control/sound panel and realteks own control panel most of the time when audio issues happen

[gentle turtle]

atleast i know now

cpu fans are really annoying me i might switch them for ones with a 0db mode

final picture set of some things including my cat

and a happy keyboard

and a lobotomized keyboard

[swift moss]

That keyboard PCB 😭😭

[boreal vine]

live laugh love ahh keyboard

[swift moss]

RJ45 is better than the connectors running out of that keeb 😭

[severe cairn]

listen

[boreal vine]

thick wires = more amps

duhhh

[severe cairn]

2 keys stopped working

[swift moss]

My 30A keyboard

[severe cairn]

thats a 2 key keypad.

soldered to o and m.

[swift moss]

I'll take a guess why 😭

[boreal vine]

I need to build one of these at some point actually

[severe cairn]

no? they stopped working because i spilled water on my keeb and didnt unplug it in time

[swift moss]

I'm half asked soldering my current split project

[boreal vine]

I'm currently engulfed in alice right now

[severe cairn]

it shorted/corroded the pads

[swift moss]

I've spilled diet coke on my keyboard before 😭😭

[boreal vine]

do it, you got this

give the world a split 40%

[severe cairn]

those cables were the smallest gauge i had or whatever terminology (smallest cables i had on hand)

[swift moss]

Soldering my keyboard: naaaaa

Finishing my ASIC CPU tapeout: YEAAAA

[swift moss]

I'm building a void ergo s, I wanted to try handwriting and not designing PCBS for the keyboards that sometimes work

[boreal vine]

There's fuck all to solder

[severe cairn]

also yes that keyboard needed two cables

its not a split board

[boreal vine]

I don't even want to bother with designing PCB, it's too much work for not too much reason to

[swift moss]

:P

[boreal vine]

if you think of a layout, it probably already exist

[severe cairn]

it needed 1 cable for everything except o, m and 1 cable for o, m.

[swift moss]

I'm taking CE anyways and it's good practice

[severe cairn]

losten ok

i was 12 when i made this mod

like 5 years ago

[boreal vine]

What I've been fucking with lately

[severe cairn]

i had no idea how to solder or anything

[swift moss]

Wdym, 40 keys more or less, pretty painful wiring matrixes considering my atrocious soldering I can't make up for with stencils

[boreal vine]

I just love this lil goofer

[swift moss]

Ooo cleann

[severe cairn]

i hate non rectangles

in general

[boreal vine]

that's still nothing LOL, would you rather desolder or solder

[severe cairn]

not just keyboards

[swift moss]

It depends

[severe cairn]

soldering is more fun

[swift moss]

Desoldering is easier for smd parts imo

[severe cairn]

i rip out pads when i desolder

[swift moss]

Also anyone else suck at routing traces?

[severe cairn]

cause i have nothing to desolder with

[boreal vine]

how life be, living the scoliosis keyboard fantasy

[swift moss]

I'm always trying to route a return path right under or next to my signal and power wires 😭😭 very difficult when min maxing my PCB sizes

Anti-RSI Central

[swift moss]

I love the exposed mos6502 style microprocessor on the orange one I'm ngl

[boreal vine]

you can get a diy kit for it btw

[wise jewel]

All I have to comment

any other things

[swift moss]

Not in my inexperienced eyes

I'm not a computer builder or anything

[wise jewel]

oh

[swift moss]

Yeah slightly overpriced then there's GST/vat

[shell cobalt]

My discord keeps going blank now and then

[wise jewel]

well theres nothing wrong with going with a 750W power supply in a 500w build

like what if i upgrade my graphics card or sum

[shell cobalt]

I have to shut it and reopen it for it to fix it self

[wise jewel]

reinstall

[shell cobalt]

I give that a try

[true stirrup]

It's happening to me as well I haven't found a fix yet other than restarting it

[true stirrup]

That AIO is incredibly overkill

[mortal mantle]

what 24 years does to chinese PS2 memory cards

from trash to insane

[boreal vine]

let themm have an all gigabyte build

[sand epoch]

older than me

😂😂

[mortal mantle]

(find the raspberry pi pico)

[sleek ibex]

I remember having a shit ton of these back in the day

Both PS1 and PS2 (latter of which more so by a country mile)

[boreal vine]

GIGABYTE 🗣️ GIGABYTE 🗣️
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/XzthFZ

[mellow shadow]

No but you can get better for cheaper

Like
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ljmt9C

[mortal mantle]

the one with the screen isn't

[boreal vine]

GIGABYTE GIGABYTE

[mortal mantle]

and now you can just have 1

because of memory card emulators

[mellow shadow]

If gigabyte made ram I wonder what it would look like

[sleek ibex]

I had a few that were those transparent coloured PS2 memory cards

[dark bronze]

What’s the difference between VA and IPS?

I’m looking at some monitors rn for fun

[sleek ibex]

I.e: Red, Blue, green

[mellow shadow]

IPS has better color accuracy and viewing angles

[mortal mantle]

and I have a black transparent one

[mellow shadow]

but don’t quote me on that I might be misremembering stuffs

[mortal mantle]

the only reason the second one doesn't have a size listed is because it just gets insane (the bigger your SD card is)

because it can store more than a 1000 PS2 memory cards (that you can just switch between)

[dark bronze]

Also does it matter if it’s curved or flat at 27’’

[grim pasture]

Are deepcool AIO´s good?

[broken oar]

chat what is an ic

hello

where do i pluck my ledsw into on my b550m pro 4 asrock

doesn't really matter so it's your personal opinion, I myself prefer flat because it's not a massive monitor

[livid fern]

What year one

[junior valve]

2024

[rigid fjord]

they're a high up tier A psu tbf

and for 180, a bit of a bargain for the HXi's

[junior valve]

im trying to upgrade my rm850x since my pc kept shitting itself under load

4?

yeah, i think 4 cause i wanna get the ugreen nas

[tidal geyser]

not custom?

[median warren]

i like the simplisity and the convenience of the ugreen one

[tidal geyser]

jonsbo n5
truenas scale

and with that its easy to upgrade

[median warren]

it is certainly chaeper than the ugreen one

[tidal geyser]

by a lot

[median warren]

yeaaaah

[tidal geyser]

a i5 6600 or something kinda pc should only be like 50-100$ then slapping some HDDs in it should have a idle with spindown of like 10-20w i suspect

and max 100w power use all with enought performance run a good few apps and a basic minecraft server

[median warren]

i do still have my old pc with a 10700k

and well its a full system

[tidal geyser]

use that

is he?

[severe cairn]

yeah cause he look like this rn

[severe cairn]

do u wanna melt rn?

then watch this.

[lethal bay]

It’s not about plugging them in fully, it’s literally a flaw with the power connector on the PCB

the connector on the 40 and 50 series literally can’t load balance between each wire

I think I bought a PSU that just fried two boards. I am kinda mad.

[terse sorrel]

does g skill usually put samsung in their stuff

[median warren]

what psu did you buy

[granite sky]

MSI MAG 850W

I had a 750W corsair. Worked fine, Put it in and the lights came on for a second, then DEAD.

Plugged back into corsair, DEAD

[median warren]

thats so weird

[granite sky]

Then I put everything on a new board, plugged into the old Corsair

Came to Bios everything looking good

Put it in with the new PSU

Never went to post

[median warren]

you have connected all the cables correctly right and are usin the correct cables provided? i know its a very basic question but still

[granite sky]

Oh yeah

All MSI cables no swapping

[true stirrup]

Any DDR5 6000MT/s cl30 is usually Hynix

[median warren]

i mean then it would suggest there is something up with the psu

[granite sky]

After I used the second one. I plugged it into my old PSU, it was just as screwed up

[median warren]

well yeah i guess it is the psu, try asking for a replacement

[granite sky]

I am gonna go to bestbuy today, they only have a 14 day policy. I got it like 20

If they just gave me store credit I would be fine

[median warren]

yeah should be okay i think

[granite sky]

I worked on it for 12 hours straight I was dumbfounded, it is the only thing I can come up with.

Still have a headache 😛

[median warren]

drink water and rest

[terse sorrel]

i found a 6000 c36 64gb kit could it be samsung?

and theres no way to check the max mobo support list goes to is 64gb

[true stirrup]

Check online if you can find any info on it

[rare musk]

sick, u should record a vid showing its sound

[solar moat]

are you going to maunal oc?

or just xmp

[median warren]

take apart the ram and check

[solar moat]

you can check with SPD at that point

[terse sorrel]

my current kit. Unable to overclock even the slightest

[solar moat]

or just set timings that only 1 IC can do

[terse sorrel]

expo

[solar moat]

same same

[terse sorrel]

no i swear there is a sofware for it which shows in detail ram specs

[true stirrup]

Not even XMP/EXPO?

[terse sorrel]

expo yes, but cant shorten from cl36 or bring p MTs from 6000

[solar moat]

only thing SPD tells you is info they put in it

[solar moat]

what timings did you try?

[terse sorrel]

yes i saw a screen shot somewhere which shows die version of installed ram

[solar moat]

that info not in SPD

[terse sorrel]

im not talking about cpu z smthn else

[true stirrup]

HWInfo64 has it

not the worst deal

can do same build for 500 if ur local market is just right

[trim idol]

that's pretty incredible

[true stirrup]

W deal

[terse sorrel]

pretty shit. I was gonna buy the 6400mhz c32 version of the same kit. Hopefully it is hynix

[ocean ether]

I’ve been searching hard and de used it go with it

[terse sorrel]

or i was looking at g skill one of my current ram specs (6000/c36) but cant f=confirm if it's samsung or hynix

[ocean ether]

Came with an asus 1440p monitor so I can’t complain

[tidal geyser]

you cant run 6400

[median warren]

you can, you just need to believe

[tidal geyser]

no

[median warren]

with the power of friendship

[livid fern]

36-36-36-36 is usually Samsung If manufacturers havent told otherwise

[true stirrup]

Kingston Fury 6000MT/s CL36 is Hynix-A die

[trim idol]

That would be pretty tight trying to pull that off

[tidal geyser]

anyways you will not see any performance improvments by messing with your ram well not a lot at least

[true stirrup]

The 1% lows get quite better

[livid fern]

Well RAM oc is worth

[terse sorrel]

no I don;t want to run 6400. I was to run tighter timings. But can't with this samsung kit cos everytime i do i have to reboot the motherboard

[livid fern]

Especially on non x3d chips

[terse sorrel]

source?

[tidal geyser]

what

you still need to reboot when changing timings?

[true stirrup]

Buildzoid and me owning it

[tidal geyser]

ok fair, but this aint really a OC server

[terse sorrel]

yeah because ram is shit

ive shortened the thing like 10 times now

[trim idol]

@rare musk like...

Cheapest 3070s are $250 and 12700ks start at $175.

That's $425 and you'd still need
Ram, mobo, psu, ssd, case, monitor for $75 to get all that for $500

[tidal geyser]

its not

[solar moat]

my eyes

[tidal geyser]

what?

[solar moat]

what did you set

[terse sorrel]

this is 32 gb no

[true stirrup]

1x16Gb

[terse sorrel]

Can't run 16gb this is my average ram use

[solar moat]

lol

[tidal geyser]

its not

[true stirrup]

Doesn't matter it's still Hynix-A die

[true stirrup]

It's actually really good ram

Mouse abuse

[severe cairn]

ikr

my second mouse btw

[terse sorrel]

KF560C36BBEAK2-64
could this be a die too?

[true stirrup]

There is a spreadsheet of dies let me find it really quickly

[trim idol]

Average Ram use 😄

[tidal geyser]

2400MT?

windows uses 4GB

[trim idol]

You know people also run software, too, right?

[tidal geyser]

buuu

[gloomy sleet]

what are you doing

[trim idol]

regarding the speed, I'm slumming it with an X99 Xeon on an aliexpress mobo because I needed an ITX mobo for this system

[tidal geyser]

na i mean unless he is doing something dumb it should not be this high in true use

[tidal geyser]

so thats why it thinks it has 24 slots to work with

[terse sorrel]

lol

[trim idol]

What do you mean by true use?

[torn lava]

oop

[tidal geyser]

there is committed and actually used

[tidal geyser]

xmp that

[gloomy sleet]

i forgot to

[trim idol]

All I have open is photoshop and premiere with a few chrome windows. If I were actually doing work in them, i'd probably be up over 40GB used

and sure, if I had less ram, it would write it to swap file, but why would I want that?

[gloomy sleet]

no one reminded me to switch it back

[tidal geyser]

im well under 32GB with tons of firefox tabs open and in davinchi

[trim idol]

how much ram do you have?

[terse sorrel]

now imagine adding a 3d printer slicer running the background to that

[trim idol]

because if you only have 32, then its writing things to the swap file to keep some headroom open

[trim idol]

At that point, 128GB starts to look appealing

[tidal geyser]

32GB

[tidal geyser]

like i mean only 20GB in use kinda thing not sure what it really is

but its well under

[terse sorrel]

where does it show the amount swap used? Macbook shows very clearly,

[tidal geyser]

what 0.5GB of ram

[terse sorrel]

because data is swapped to ssd

[tidal geyser]

you do not know what a swap partition is

[trim idol]

"Paged pool" shows that, but I'm not sure how accurate it is

[tidal geyser]

and no its not really

[gloomy sleet]

i fix

[tidal geyser]

just do not be wasteful and the ram usage tends to be low

[tidal geyser]

you should turn off some startup things to

[trim idol]

it's not wasteful to want gobs of ram to avoid SSD seeks and swapping

its called efficient

[gloomy sleet]

nah im good

[terse sorrel]

but idk 48 could be a valid option too

i think its better than 64 kits not sure how

[tidal geyser]

well as in i tend to see people using 12-16GB of ram on startup due to all the extra shit and then wonder why everything is so bad and laggy while i am sitting at 4

[terse sorrel]

because on 64 kits theystack 16 gb dies or whatever

[tidal geyser]

its not

[shell cobalt]

32GB ram is coming as a new standard

[trim idol]

It's going to depend on a lot of factors, and for regular use, the differences are going to be negligible

[granite sky]

Here is a dumb question. Can you plug ARGB into Jrainbow on a MSI board? I am motherboard shopping.

[tidal geyser]

just ask https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1106613567966429224 for a parts list and read the guidelines

[terse sorrel]

could u pls send me the spreadsheet?

i gotta return my ram and order new

[tidal geyser]

what

why return it??

i thought it is working as it should

[true stirrup]

It's missing a lot of model names but all 32Gb Kingston ram sticks are Hynix

[rare musk]

eh idk, i can make a 5600 system with 3080 for under 500 lol

[terse sorrel]

crashed my pc every time i try to overclock

[tidal geyser]

thats user error ya dumme

[terse sorrel]

not user inputted settings eithe

[tidal geyser]

xmp?

[terse sorrel]

no

basic bio settings likre "tightest timing"

etc

[tidal geyser]

what

[terse sorrel]

if ur on msi bios you would know the setting

[tidal geyser]

no

i have many msi motherboards

[true stirrup]

Do you mean MSI memory try it?

[terse sorrel]

no

it's undernesth expo

[true stirrup]

Actually a pretty nice feature of MSI motherboards
