if i try it my motherboard will not wake up again

#

cos of my shitty ram lol

tidal geyser
#

its not shitty

#

its user error

terse sorrel
#

there is nothing up to the user

tidal geyser
#

this is how we get the billions of tons of tech waste worth of returned products

terse sorrel
#

its a msi setting

tidal geyser
#

i have never returned anything

terse sorrel

since thats cheaper then putting them back on the shelf

well before but now that have liquidators so its not as common

where they waste shit

tidal geyser

o well anyways its not the ram that is faulty

What’s the performance difference from Ubuntu and Debian

true stirrup
#

Probably pretty minor

terse sorrel
#

similar to tails os

#

but runs off VM

terse sorrel
#

u said 9900x will run games same as a 9600x

tidal geyser
#

ye

#

tbh worse in a lot of cases

terse sorrel
#

9900x clock higher

#

double the l3 cache

#

2nd ccd to handle background tasks

#

there is no way it could be worse than a 9600x

eternal cloak
#

The 9900X is roughly equal to a 9700X

It's across the board a 7700X/9700X in gaming tasks

The intel b580 in selling for 300euros in germany, so im just wondering if its worth it to buy it at that price if anyone knows or if im better of buying another gpu at that price. Ive never built a pc before but i am looking to try getting into it

Is lenovo intentionally setting a lower design battery capacity then actual to make it seem as if it's aging slower than competitors?

#

"Oh, it's only down to 94% capacity after x-amount of cycles, all other brands are at 90% by the same cycle count" kind of thing?

Hey im seeing a lot of used 30 series cards nd I was thinking if i could sell my current 3060 ti for a small upgrade maybe 3070 up to 3080 level? I would pay only a bit more but since I would've sold my previous card it wouldn't be that bad

#

What would be the best thing for a significant enough upgrade in the 30 series from a 3060 ti

rigid fjord
#

not that, it's usually around 200-250 for HX/HXi/AX/AXi line psu's fron corsair usually, so getting one that's 1-1.3 kw for less than 200 is bit of a bargain

livid mason
#

Just had a brilliant idea

#

I'm gonna use Guacamole so I can access my pc from school just using the browser (Assuming they don't block the only domain I have left which is my dads)

livid mason
#

My school already blocked my domain because it has a few games on it 😭

uncut pelican
#

aren't school firewalls moreso an allow list than a block list?

#

at least they were at my school(s)

livid mason
#

Idk

#

My thought process is as long as the website isn't blocked it'll worked

#

Since they already blocked the domain I own I'mma have to use my dads

#

Which is a .net so hopefully they'll be less inclined to block that one

#

As of now his domain isn't blocked

#

So if I can get him to host me another VM that I can use his domain for I can probably setup remote access through my browser

#

I also saw another video about a free and open-source Remote Desktop but I'm worried that might be blocked on the school wifi

#

Not to mention these damn school chromebooks are so locked down I can't install any software on them so it wouldn't even work

livid mason
#

Fines, my school will fine me for it

#

Thats why I removed chromeOS on my personal chromebook and installed Linux

azure topaz
#

pretty annoying to get rid of

livid mason
#

So for now this shitty vhromebook stays with chromeos

azure topaz
#

only way to do it nowadays especially if they disable developer mode is with a ch341a

#

and for the windoes machines? not really lol

livid mason
azure topaz
#

thats the firmware write protect screw not cr50 more than likely

livid mason
#

Nope had to disconnect the battery

#

And run it off the power brick

azure topaz
#

if developer mode is disabled on your device that wont do anything

#

and if its not you didnt need to do that 💀

hey is upgrading from a 3060 ti to a 3080 worth? i think if i sold my 3060 ti and bought a used 3080 id only be paying 125 extra since the money back would be from my old 3060

and i saw its like 50% more frames so its pretty good

neat flame

if there is some amd alternative for a better price (375 usd) im also open to tha

3080 for 375 is decent so

i dont mind buying used since i make sure they say its functioning nd stuff cus if its not i got buyers protection

#

i even see 3080 ti's for the simular price but thats more sketchy to me ngl

azure topaz
simple parrot
#

it looks good but 3080 ti used for this low sounds like a scam

neat flame
#

375 for 3080ti sounds kinda fishy

#

those things are 600$ usually

azure topaz
#

not unheard of

ocean ether
#

Everywhere around me sells them used for around 6-700

neat flame
#

yea

simple parrot
#

she is saying its her sons and she is selling cus he got a newer model, saying everything works, card is 100% funcitonal, paste was changed,wasnt overclocked

azure topaz
#

is it like an in person thing?

idk if a non techy mom would know abt overclocking

or is it shipping or whatever

#

its not delivery its in person

azure topaz
#

oh then its fine

#

test it there if you can, if no work no buy

is 3080 ti way better than a 3080?

#

ah ofc

#

so upgrading to a 3080 isnt a terrible idea i just need to find a deal, also smtn that will fit, a 3080 is a just plug in nd it works ?

azure topaz
#

yeah

simple parrot
#

awesome

neat flame
#

make sure your psu is sufficient

#

especially if its a 3080ti

tardy kettle

oh yea,i think 750w can manage

i need to check for bottlenecking

what cpu, should be fine unless its really old

simple parrot
#

its a i5-10400f

neat flame
#

ah

tidal geyser
neat flame
#

use it at 1440p

azure topaz
simple parrot
#

could i also try upgrading to a better cpu with the same socket?

azure topaz
#

also do you see the source

tardy kettle
#

im only powering like 3 hdds which would use like 30 watts at most

tidal geyser
#

eh not worth it

tardy kettle
#

alright

simple parrot
#

then id also need a 1440p monitor, ALSO used cus i love the enviorment

azure topaz
simple parrot
#

1440p 144hz monitors are cheaper now right?

neat flame
#

yes

simple parrot
#

what should i look for around? used also i dont look for monitors a lot so what do i look out for

#

if anything

tidal geyser
#

1440p 180hz is hella cheap

neat flame
#

idk much about monitors specifically so

tidal geyser
#

use rtings

simple parrot
#

i mean my brain says companies that make tvs prolly know how to make monitors

#

also i remember iiyama and lenovo being goodish

#

one of my monitors is iyama and it still works

tidal geyser
#

my dell laptop still works but with its 13th gen i5 it feels slower then a 3rd gen i3 with 2 cores

#

but you know it does not work well

anyone know why this is the only option i get when i click on the power button i also only see lock when i press ctrl at del and i cant open task manager with the other 2 ways i know of

what is the best 460hz mointor out there? and is it worth it over something like OLED g9 (240hz)

tidal geyser

thats a spesific hz

never heard of a 460hz monitor

are you even able to reach 460 fps?

for the games i play yes

and also 540hz

There are 480Hz 1440p OLED monitors

random gyro

the 540hz is prob a s rog swift

You'll need a 50 series gpu by the way

looks like the 540hz are tn only

random gyro

tn?

proven shoal

i would go an oled 480hz rather than a tn 540hz ngl

Only display port 2.1 has the bandwidth to do 2560x1440 480Hz

ohhhhhh i see

Full fat display port 2.1 UHBR20

With DisplayPort 2.1 on the 50 series gpus you'll be able to do 2560x1440 480Hz at 10bpc, but I am assuming you probably do not care about bpc

not 5w or tbh a lot less kinda expensive

So I plan on changing my gpu thermal paste today after 5years of owning it. Should I let it cool down first before taking it apart or do it while it’s slightly warm ?

boreal vine

only update the bios if you need to, otherwise you're just asking for trouble

yeah

either way, by the time you get the cooler off, it's probably already cold

I got the sever you showed with the HDD and it was painful trying to use windows 10 that came pre installed

it can still sip only 65w and still run hot

yeah ive learned that

with the my old pc

Oop, forgot to attach, lol.

boreal vine

reddit post saying why their r9 3900x runs hot proves that lol

and overclocking that 5? it didn't like it

go to big picture mode and show it, i used to run 4ghz all core

what do yall think of the new switch?

# tidal geyser yeh

Do you know what PCie lanes came with the server it came with to a old nvidea card but I might try to get an adapter for NVme since I believe the sevrer only had 2 storage bays for SSDs or how would you advise I do the storage

frosty oriole
peak knot
#

just put it in handheld mode then

frosty oriole
#

It won't pull 24W in Game Mode, as you need to run a Konsole command in Desktop Mode to allow it to do so.

#

Off the top of my head, the CPU clocks end up sitting around 3800 MHz, though I do have it set up to 4200.

peak knot
#

whats your cooler situation like, cause the stock cooler cant handle that extra heat

frosty oriole
#

It can if you take the backplate off or put a different backplate on it.

#

I've currently flipped it around to increase flow.

#

With it on, it struggles to maintain temps at 20W. With it off, temps are manageable, even at 24W.

peak knot
#

whats the point in all this if you cant take it portable, mine overclocked and was still portable, and it just boosted as high as it could while being power limited

frosty oriole
#

I still have the memory overclocked and allow both the CPU and GPU to clock higher while handheld. I just let it pull 24W while docked.

#

The GPU still hits 1.7 GHz in Game Mode, and the CPU hits 3.8.

peak knot
#

ok but your running the chassis with no screws while on the go or you take the time to screw them in, which i doubt

frosty oriole
#

I'm running it like this temporarily until I get a vented backplate.
