[junior valve]

this one just died on me last week

[rigid fjord]

wd sn580, no gambiling, always tlc nand

[thorn pewter]

we talked about our interests and what we like to do, that was actually for the first time, really did enjoy speaking with someone, idk how to describe it, but it was really great, she even agreed to arrange smthn like this later on, but once we took the bus to the second bus station, she took a different bus that i take, usually that's the case, but to my surprise before i went she gave me a lil kiss on the cheek, then she left. but now that amount of feelings i had that couldn't really be described, to put it in the closest thing is a warm and fuzzy feeling that i don't think any machine could ever replicate. But truly thanks for all of u, nice job tc1!

[junior valve]

are thermal right aios trustable? they r oddly cheap

[azure topaz]

mine has been so far

[left dove]

awwww water's first kiss

[rigid fjord]

funnily enough, yes

[left dove]

that's cute, I'm proud of you

[azure topaz]

mine wwas absurdly cheap but as of noww ive had no complaints like 8 months in

[junior valve]

what abt asus

[azure topaz]

probably normal asetek crap for asus

[rigid fjord]

it's on the cheek, so not really

[left dove]

it's still a facial smooch

I count it

[azure topaz]

not crap as in bad but yknow just the standard

[cursive agate]

i've been for 5 weeks trying to install a good os in this fucking thing

[rigid fjord]

extremely overpriced for asetek pump and noctua fans

[soft rover]

Hello

[junior valve]

mine doesnt have noctua fans

[cursive agate]

It's full of errors on tGRUB

[thorn pewter]

the amount of mental prep i had done was basically worthless, i actually enjoyed every second of it instead of dreading over it

[trim flicker]

ive been in 6 relationships and havent had my first kiss yet

[nimble burrow]

Which one do y'all think looks the more nicer

[trim flicker]

LD sucks at times

[azure topaz]

this guy

[soft rover]

How is this tech chat😭

[azure topaz]

all of the otherones are overstated or ugly like that blue version with a different face

[steel umbra]

watches are tech 200%

[random gyro]

Guys.

[thorn pewter]

but i think ill go to sleep sleep now

[rigid fjord]

i prefer nite watches tbh

[cursive agate]

nicer in what terms

[thorn pewter]

too much energy spent on one day now

[random gyro]

My pin is dying on the 28th

[random gyro]

😞😞😞

[soft rover]

Humans are tech?

[steel umbra]

what about a broken stick

[rigid fjord]

food is also technology btw

[junior valve]

anyone knows how to turn an aio screen into a displaying monitor?

[soft rover]

Humans make little humans

[trim flicker]

well we make humans so

[soft rover]

So we produce pc parts?

aw man no pc parts talk

[random gyro]

Rip humane pin

[random gyro]

this one even tho im an apple watch guy

[rigid fjord]

that's the fun side before their production

[steel umbra]

well technically we alter everything to make

tech

[soft rover]

Did we make the topic of making?

[trim flicker]

yeah

[soft rover]

Interesting

[trim flicker]

we made the making of make

we are the reason reason is a reason

[steel umbra]

tek

[random gyro]

im on ep 7 now

[trim flicker]

reasoning about reasons that you shouldnt reason about

[soft rover]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-swim-in-milk-cat-kitty-milk-milk-cat-gif-23473453

[nimble burrow]

Those bezels look kinda big

[soft rover]

Too much making

[trim flicker]

im waiting on eng dubs

[soft rover]

Did you hear about the new PSU Tier list?

[nimble burrow]

Why does that remind me of this

[steel umbra]

i decleare a broken stick is a tech because two smaller sticks are more useful than one big one, anyone who disagrees with my oponion is wong

[soft rover]

I disagree

2 sticks is much more useful for holding stuff, as you can hold two things, make two tools ect

[junior valve]

can u guys send more gifs, i wanna test out the aio screen

[soft rover]

She also told me that i should come over soon and hangout at her place

i might be killed or a fun time idk

scroll up

[soft rover]

"bring protection"
"Who am i fighting?"

[thorn pewter]

if only it wasn't raining heavily we could've went out on a walk together but oh well

i might bring my switch over there

epic

[peak knot]

recently killed my RIVE and found a good deal on another one

[trim flicker]

niceee

[peak knot]

the IO chip died so im gonna sell my current one for easy repair to a buddy to offset cost

[soft rover]

Oh mb

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/3tpWYN I got this for €1,000

I got offered €1,000 🙂

But when i tell you the pc was CRUSTY

No but a guy offered me €1,000 for the GPU alone

Ireland has a cooked market

Germany is good

Germany has 7600X3D and 7500F🙏

Mines basically new though tbf

[cursive agate]

poll
amd processor 👕
intel processor 👚

[soft rover]

5800X3D😎

such a cool CPU

[cursive agate]

who df is that

[soft rover]

How don’t you know what a 5800X3D is?

[trim flicker]

the best am4 processor, sadly they dont make them anymore

[soft rover]

3D-V Cache is so powerful in gaming

[cursive agate]

i only know about named things

[soft rover]

It’s better than a 7600

[chrome badge]

I'm trying to mount an image file from a CD-XA disc on Windows 11. How do I access Mode 2 Form 1?

[soft rover]

RGB lol

[azure topaz]

i miss the old kanye more real than ever

[chrome badge]

Did no one look?

[soft rover]

Well RGB doesn’t work without clear fans…

magnetic onto the block

i’m guessing

[junior valve]

pa120 is there

[azure topaz]

i couldnt even begin to tell you wtf a cd-xa is and im sure 93.58% of people here couldnt either

my brother in christ this is YOU

[cursive agate]

its not like that, theese people do not know about that or they just don't care

so don't get angry

[trim flicker]

have you tried turning it on and off again

[azure topaz]

thank you for putting "or they just dont care"

[cursive agate]

i believe it is the other way around

[junior valve]

the hub didnt arrive yet so the aio cant really function

[trim flicker]

nah i want them to turn it on then off, and go to bed i guess

[junior valve]

u need a rog hub for the pump to work

[azure topaz]

why did you purchase this item

[junior valve]

rog cool

[soft rover]

ROG not cool

[azure topaz]

nuhuhuh

[soft rover]

LF3 superiority

[cursive agate]

that's not a pc that's an abomination of fans

[azure topaz]

plus one

[junior valve]

no pwm cable

[soft rover]

should’ve gotten the Liquid Freezer III tbh

[junior valve]

no screen , 1/10

[soft rover]

FX360

[somber mason]

why is beamng using 100% of my cpu?!?! i just swapped out my gpu for troubleshooting, the monitor is plugged into the gpu

[trim flicker]

i got the lf2 like a month before the lf3 released and i was too lazy to refund it to get the newer model

[trim flicker]

your gpu isnt being detected

[cursive agate]

real question is why wouldn't it.

[somber mason]

14700k

[somber mason]

drivers?

[trim flicker]

probably

[cursive agate]

tf does that mean

[trim flicker]

try restarting ur pc

[somber mason]

i have a i7 1700k, the only time i get to 100% usage is when im importing/exporting in unity n stuff, even that isnt sustained for more then like 30 secs

[soft rover]

Is the GPU in task manager?

[trim flicker]

no

restart ur pc

[cursive agate]

what if i don't wanna

[trim flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/im-leaving-gif-11102179984780734185

[trim flicker]

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=how+to+delete+the+discord+app

[azure topaz]

good thing its not really that much bettter cause cooler innovation is dead 👍

[trim flicker]

fair

[cursive agate]

and what if i don't wanna delete discord

a physics game

[azure topaz]

multiple cars, etc

shit mods, etc its beam, theres a morbillion possibilities

[soft rover]

Quiet the difference

[white sphinx]

Beam when it has to be optimised

[azure topaz]

quite the difference
about 5c difference noise normalized

literally nobody who isnt looking at their cpus temp all day cares

[trim flicker]

i literally idle at like 24c 😭

[azure topaz]

its LESS in this one

again. nobody cares about differences this small

[soft rover]

LF3 is literally the same price

[azure topaz]

but it doesnt matter

[soft rover]

I do

[azure topaz]

i do too, but the very very broad and vast majority dont

its a useless difference to point out to someone whos just
building a computer™️

[soft rover]

Well considering this is a PC server i guessed more people would care

[white sphinx]

Whats the quietest 120mm fan that isnt terrible? At the intended rpm ofc

[jaunty moat]

im on cloud 9 right now i finally found out why my pc was crashing so much one of my sticks of ram was either bad or going bad 😮‍💨

[azure topaz]

i dont care because im a pc nerd, i know my cpu doesnt care about the difference betweeen 65 and 70c

[soft rover]

phanteks t30
noctua a12x25
be quiet silent wings pro 4

[azure topaz]

in an overclocking scenario wwhere you wwant the absolute highest sustained possible load yeah sure the cooler matters a little more but

even most people here dont overclock like that

[soft rover]

Most quiet fans have poor peformance due to low rpms

[azure topaz]

(I DO)

[trim flicker]

your cpu is always screaming at you no matter the temp

[cursive agate]

speaking of servers, is it possible to make my own webpage out of a wii or some old thing to use as a server?

[soft rover]

Well quiet fans have low max rpms...

[thorn pewter]

a whole wopping 2 bits of ram lol

[azure topaz]

quiet fans are fans that are quiet. you can have different noise levels at the same RPM

thats why there is fan testing

[soft rover]

He wanted a good mix

[thorn pewter]

i mean you can true, the hardware is from 2006 so idk good luck with that

[azure topaz]

if it was just "eeeeerrrrrr quiet fan SLOOWW AND BAD"

[soft rover]

Not loud, not bad airflow

[white sphinx]

Yeah thats what i mean, by isnt terrible. Like i understand you can get a 2db fan if you run at 2rpm, but thats by definition a terrible fan

[azure topaz]

yeah, i got wwhat you wwere sayin

[soft rover]

TL-C12C-S 🤢

They're fine but begin to rattle after time

You get what you pay for

[azure topaz]

to a degree, but i think those are literally the cheapest fans

like, p12 psts are cheap as shit, and good. like 5$ fan

maxes were/kinda are the same way

[soft rover]

P12s are my favourite when looking for a good mix of everything

[cursive agate]

the wii has like 2

[soft rover]

Maxes have no PST unfortunately

[azure topaz]

my bad, 7$ a fan

[cursive agate]

enough for a 1-visitor-at-a-time server

[azure topaz]

you get what you pay for when you buy the lowest level garbage but there are good things that are cheap and computer fans are one of them

[steel umbra]

that’s not very good price rn

[azure topaz]

thats what its been for like 2 decades, its 7$ i dont care.

[steel umbra]

packs should be $25

[white sphinx]

Yeah makes sense, also should i try to aim for static pressure or positive pressure airflow? AIO or traditional heatsink+fan setup?

[soft rover]

The 5 pack used be like 27$

[azure topaz]

the fans are still cheap

[cursive agate]

wtf you people buying fans for, they come with the case

[azure topaz]

to be entirely honest with you, unless youre after absolutely minmaxing everything and youre gonna be in your bios as much as me changing shit it doesnt really matter this much

pick a wwell reviewed set of fans that are cheap and fit your aesthetic purposes

[soft rover]

Not always

[azure topaz]

definitely dont go paying 20$ a fan for some corsair shit

(also i reco aios just cause they look prettier)

(thermalright shit is dead cheap and seemingly reliable so far)

[soft rover]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/N8NxFT/be-quiet-silent-wings-pro-4-839-cfm-120-mm-fan-bl098 🙃

[white sphinx]

Fair, im trying to build in an old pc case with no windows so aesthetics dont really matter that much to me

[azure topaz]

then p12s are 7$ a fan 🔥

[cursive agate]

if a case doesn't come with fans, thats a no-no (except that one with the touch-screen thingy that one's okay)

[soft rover]

No?

[cursive agate]

why would i wanna pay 32 extra dollars for fans that another case already includes

[soft rover]

Some cases come with like 3 fans but have room for 5+ ect.

[white sphinx]

Prolly gonna buy some nf-a12x25s from noctua, since they generally get good reviews

[cursive agate]

its funny to me how all of you spend a lot of money and i find it ridiculous

[random gyro]

left button is not responding. What do I do??? the mouse is dead

[steel umbra]

i’d personally get the p12 maxes or a12x25s over these

[cursive agate]

tried unplugging and plugging it?

[azure topaz]

that is like the direct opposite of what i said but go crazy on some 80 million dollar fans

[steel umbra]

the sw 4’s don’t have very pleasant sound profile

[white sphinx]

Yup, thanks for advice mr pc guy

[soft rover]

Yeah i'd get a12x25s over them too.

Maybe not p12 maxes

[random gyro]

tried turning the pc off

[azure topaz]

at least theyre good 80 million dollar pc fans so still thumbs up yww

[soft rover]

But i don't have that much money

[white sphinx]

Haha, i work in an electronics retailer part time so we get employee discounts n shiet. Do fans usually come with a db rating? (I dont work in the hardware section)

[steel umbra]

T30 are bit cheaper

[soft rover]

P12 are my budget limit 😂

[azure topaz]

yea but they all test differently so just go to like an independant reevieww site

basically EVERYONE lies to you

[random gyro]

did the mouse's button just broke?

[white sphinx]

Makes 100% sense

[azure topaz]

8dba from 40ft away 3 rooms down

[soft rover]

What?

[random gyro]

I have tried plugging the mouse to another computer and both buttons work

[white sphinx]

Are Phanteks sk 120s decent? I saw we had some in stock at a nice discount.

[cursive agate]

have you guys seen a laptop running android?

[azure topaz]

people say theyre a generic pc fan so

[soft rover]

Rifle bearings

[azure topaz]

like thats what the reddit reviewer said

"generic pc fan, just go buy p12s or something" basically

[rare pier]

You see how this cable has like a thick sleeve for most of the cable. Is it possible to cut it? Running an itx build so it would with clearance and flexibility

[azure topaz]

not a direct quote but same shit

[white sphinx]

Sounds about right, was wondering why they were like 7 dollars a fan inna 3 pack. (Less with discount)

[azure topaz]

SHIIITtttt may as welll

[empty quartz]

samsung still hasn't matched apple for selfie camera's

[azure topaz]

and you can get them right away

[white sphinx]

Yeah thats the biggest seller

[azure topaz]

worth™️

[trim flicker]

you can cut the cable sleeve just be careful you dont get wires cut

[azure topaz]

yea

[soft rover]

40~db at 1200rpm

[trim flicker]

want 0db? just wear headphones

[rare pier]

Also want to ask what is your go to thermal paste for repasting a gpu

[soft rover]

They're pretty good

[trim flicker]

cant hear ur pc if you are playing games or watching something

[azure topaz]

okay thats not incredible but for 7$ a fan and he can pick it up rn its fine

[trim flicker]

ptm7950

[soft rover]

https://youtu.be/A_ftk34sF_A?si=MGlMiSR1ivKRDCrm Here's my source, he seems pretty legit, records everything

[azure topaz]

its computer it turns on and it does the spinny thing and it doesnt explode

[random gyro]

thats straight up a pad!!

[trim flicker]

and a damn good one

[soft rover]

Not explode (optional)

[random gyro]

Thats sick!!

[azure topaz]

(and very hard to use)

(kinda*)

[trim flicker]

(if you have a skill issue)

[white sphinx]

Thats pretty much my requirements

[azure topaz]

(read their manual thing)

[trim flicker]

(just apply it properly)

[random gyro]

how is it hard to use tho? like is it like a peel n stick issue?

[azure topaz]

(it wworks even if you fuck it up tbh)

(it LITERALLY melts)

[trim flicker]

people cant get their nails past the peel

[white sphinx]

I only use it for vivado, light gaming and watching youtube anyways (fuck amd with a passion)

[somber mason]

I think my 14700k is bottlenecking my 1050 ti💔

[random gyro]

ik it literallt melts

LMFAO

[azure topaz]

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU

[trim flicker]

i put it in the freezer

[azure topaz]

bro randomly disses amd quickest way to my heart 💀

[white sphinx]

I dont mind their hardware but vivado can eat a brick

[azure topaz]

that actually made me laugh

lmaooo

[random gyro]

what is vivado

[rare pier]

Sorry meant paste not pads, were given some pads

[trim flicker]

its unironially insanely easier to take off the peel when the pad is frozen

[soft rover]

AMD😡

[white sphinx]

Fpga, asic and microprocessor design software

[trim flicker]

use ptm and never have to repaste again

[random gyro]

hotel? trivago

[rose stream]

Never heard of it.

[white sphinx]

Made by amd™️

[random gyro]

hmmmm

The UI still looks like that btw

In the big 2025

[somber mason]

Gonna make a chip better then whatever Intel's doing😭 🙏

[rose stream]

I mean, so does the recent MIPS assembly program I had gotten yesterday or so. None of that surprised me. Lol.

[trim flicker]

intel shat their pants with their recent gen

its all over the floor

[white sphinx]

Its like 200gb as well

For what could’ve fit in 15

[somber mason]

?!?!?!

[random gyro]

I'm using windows 11. What was changed to disable the left mouse button?

[rare pier]

Oh these aren’t pads, these are industrial thermal paste

Holy god the charts look insane

[trim flicker]

nothing?

[somber mason]

Is it using 16k images for every button?!?

[soft rover]

I reckon thats a software issue

[random gyro]

pluggin another mouse and the left button doesn't work. It's not the mouse. It's something else

[trim flicker]

have u tried restarting ur pc

windows likes to break like that

[somber mason]

OH

[tall crown]

Can the 12vhpwr 600W cable be used on the 3090 FE?

[white sphinx]

Well essentially amd did the amd thing and made it bloated, and took an insane amount of money and time to upgrade from the old xililx ISE to vivado (they look and do the same but now you can essentially do spice simulations)

[somber mason]

I know, press control alt delete and click the close button, don't press enter

[rose stream]

Spice simulations?

[white sphinx]

1000 man years, 200 million dollars. To do shit we could do in 1996

[trim flicker]

you get to watch the simulated pain of people eating really hot peppers

[white sphinx]

(Its not technically spice simulation but its the same concept)

[rose stream]

[random gyro]

if the left button works while in UEFI, before boot. Then it's windows 11 that somehow turned the button off

[rose stream]

Okay... So then like is every other alternative a better choice or is it just a locked down sort of thing for designing stuff and all?

[somber mason]

Can you click certain parts of your screen? Try each corner

[white sphinx]

Spice simulation is essentially simulating logic functions inside processors. You model the functions, using VHDL (barely higher level 1s and 0s) then the app designs the logic elements for you

[trim flicker]

try ctrl alt del

[white sphinx]

Iirc AMD uses it to make all their products

[random gyro]

already tried

[steel umbra]

the 3090’s connector doesn’t melt aslong you plug it in correctly and or the cable isn’t defective

you can yes

[rose stream]

... Ooohhh that... Makes it make more sense, in a way I just realized when you mentioned this specific point.

[trim flicker]

is ur prmary mouse button set to something else?

[rose stream]

It works... Moreso for them, than it probably does for anyone else. Lol.

[trim flicker]

win+i and use arrow keys and enter to select things

go to bluetooth and devices

[white sphinx]

They probably have in house releases that arent as shit lmao

[tall crown]

oh dw im putting my body weight on it (not literally)

[trim flicker]

then to mouse

[tall crown]

also this says 12 but my PSU gave me a 16? Would it still work?

[steel umbra]

just make sure it clicks or clips in place and that there’s no gap

[rose stream]

Or it's just one of those things where like with most open source software in the Linux/UNIX, it's designed to their specifications and workflow and just know how to make it work when it decides not to, while everyone else just... Is forced to either figure it out or suffer through it.

Which from the sound of it sounds a lot more like the latter.

[tall crown]

looking at the port it doesnt have the extra tab at the top like my cable has? idk if it makes a difference or the extra 4 pins will just sit on the top

[white sphinx]

Its actually a lot easier to work on large products and systems using it, since the actually hard part is making all the cores and threads individually, the rest is just adding small things, defining buses. Its like playing with legos when youre done with the small scale shit

But. They force everyone who wants to use their products to use it, which sucks

For example im currently just starting with a basys-3 fpga from amd, and for that vivado blows

Since you get minimal hardware to work with

(Im pretty sure a usb cable microprocessor has better specs)

Also vhdl is outdated by 45 years so that doesnt help

[rose stream]

Thought so.
Pretty sure the standard today is Verilog, so like... Why VHDL?

[white sphinx]

Theyre both equally shit tbh, also the industry is essentially split 50/50 between verilog and vhdl

Its essentially a CISC vs RISC type question. Theyre both their own thing

[steel umbra]

they’re just for sensing

[rose stream]

Damn.

And I'm guessing because it's almost always those two that seem to be pushed and whatnot, there's no real alt to either, is there?

[white sphinx]

Nope, and no matter what you do youre paying a lot for licenses since nobody is doing open source

Well technically vivado is free for the light edition, but the hardware for implement testing is like 300$ for single core 2kb ram fpgas

And the prices for higher spec goes up exponentially if you want a proper system

how much would a 2070 be worth

how do

[upbeat glacier]

normally i dont need to reach out for second opinions but ive found 3070 and 6750 xt listings for the exact same prices and im undecided if dlss or 12gb vram is more worth at 1440p

[left dove]

i am unsure

[white sphinx]

At least 5 pieces of bread

[trim flicker]

i saw one listed for 120 usd smackaroonies

[left dove]

thats a good deal

[white sphinx]

If you ask me, id say go amd in that case. I like my vram.

[trim flicker]

location is too far for it to be a good one sadly but i thought it was a decent deal somwhat

[inland perch]

smack- what

[trim flicker]

you'll know when ur older

[upbeat glacier]

i do also just have the option of saving up another month and getting a 7800 xt but im damn impatient

[inland perch]

https://tenor.com/view/neco-arc-transparent-victory-give-me-pls-gif-9808837427919532251

[white sphinx]

smackaroonies are directly tied to the price of eggs

[inland perch]

oh got it

[random gyro]

the button works inside the BIOS

[sharp dew]

Anybody here ever owned a laptop thats touchpad ever stopped working after a corrupt windows os and then reinstalling clean?

[random gyro]

I don't know what happened. I went in the bios and accidentaly changed XMP -> profile 1, something like this there. Now both buttons are working again

What do y'all think of ASUS ProArt P16 H7606WI-ME166X?
I'm really tempted to get this laptop $4499AUD ($2800USD)

What’s a good remote desktop service I can use to work on fusion 360 projects and run Microsoft 365 faster than my school devices’ hardware could? I have a pretty powerful pc at home but I don’t have a laptop so I’m stuck using Chromebooks or MacBook airs or Mac minis at school. It’d be great if there was something I could just set up on my home PC tonight and then sign into while I’m at school to actually get some work done but I need it to be secure so nobody could potentially gain access to my home computer when I don’t know, but it also needs to be something that wouldn’t be blocked by the school’s firewall, yall know anything that could work?

[lost yarrow]

It's not a gaming laptop tho content creation, images/video etc, proART

Can do gaming on the side with those specs

A basic proart monitor is about $1200 to be fair a gaming monitor is probably similarly priced just a different focus

Bougie mount 🥶

[fringe prairie]

id look for a zephyrus g16 (same chassis as p16), also highly doubt thats sodimm memory

unless you require 64gb ram

Just ordered a 7600xt off amazon. Had been sitting at 317 usd all day, i refreshed to page it was 180, ordered it immediately, an hour later its back to 300, chat whats the over under i got scammed or someone got fired

[warm dome]

Done :D

[random gyro]

Like it was suddenly 50% off and i hit it

[subtle mountain]

sold by Wangweidongdong

[random gyro]

I can still cancel the order i just placed it tonight

[subtle mountain]

yeah its a scam

[supple gull]

Amazon has decent services, would he not be able to just get a refund any way?

[wary spear]

yea, i'd just wait it out and take it up with amazon if it's bull

[random gyro]

Im going to

Says its shipped with ABF

[plain cypress]

Even fuckin 7600xt are low stock?

The GPU nobody wanted 💀

[random gyro]

I mean its amazons official listing. Different sellers can just be used no?

[plain cypress]

Click on the seller profile in the order receipt

Tell us how many reviews they have

if it's on credit card and not debit, even if amazon fails you, you should be able to get all your money back

[random gyro]

Its debit i dont have a credit card

[supple gull]

Don't feel too bad, I'm waiting on an intel CPU from ALi Express

[wary spear]

still might work depending on your bank. i dunno though

[random gyro]

Ill wait until the 7th if it doesnt show ill lyk

Its a local credit union, theyre usually good about this stuff

[plain cypress]

Amazon can still refund but credit tends to be easier to get it back
Worst case you end up with Amazon store credit

[random gyro]

This is what REALLY worries me

Gotta remove some stuff mb

Thats whats got me tripped up

[wary spear]

[formal sonnet]

You purchased something from a 3rd party seller. It's a 50/50 chance you're getting scammed. You either are, or you are not. You won't know until the item arrives, if it arrives at all. Third party sellers - never once.

[random gyro]

its not coming

Welp. Time to consult daddy bezos

[frosty cove]

No amazon protection on these?

[wary spear]

looks like it?

[formal sonnet]

There's usually protection, but it can be a pain to claim. I've been forced to wait 30 days beyond the manufacturer's "estimated" delivery date, which they kept pushing out a week at a time each time I contacted them. It's just usually far more pain than it's worth dealing with 3rd party sellers. 😦

[weak osprey]

It’s going to explode

Could you send me the listing?

I clicked on the SAME one, and it was 180

[gusty wagon]

no what

[weak osprey]

They were referencing the PTM 750 from lttstore.com

[grizzled frost]

you said ptm

[gusty wagon]

Pretrained transformer model

[grizzled frost]

7950* and that’s not the only place to buy it, and it’s far from the only PTM material

[gusty wagon]

Oh the phase tange material

[weak osprey]

That’s genuinely funny assuming it was intentional

ig technically it would be phase transition material

i always hear people say phase change though

My collection. Other then a few others I don't have boxes for rn

But these two are the coolest ones I have by far

[weak osprey]

Money haver

[forest lotus]

Both I bought used lol

[weak osprey]

Nice

How much was the 6900xt?

[forest lotus]

On the expensive side when I got it $600usd

Tbh worth the money

[weak osprey]

Eugh

[forest lotus]

Its been really reliable over buying anything rdna3 at the same price point

[weak osprey]

I got my 6800xt at 375 usd

[random gyro]

oc formula 😊

[forest lotus]

Everyone I hear really bitching about drivers is on rdna3 and I dabbled in rdna3 a bit with a buddies 7800XT its just not as stable as rdna2

So I just said oc formula it is

I could have gotten a cheaper 6900XT but I wanted an ocf

I have next to no driver issues on rdna2. The only crashes I get is if I oc far too hard

[plain geode]

does anyone here know much about AMD. i am looking at a pc with a ryzen 5 7600x and was wondering what peoples thoughts are? mainly in terms of if it is comparable to 13/14th gen intel etc

[forest lotus]

I think both cards could fetch a pretty penny if i sold them

[weak osprey]

Not more than you paid tho

[forest lotus]

6900XT maybe 6700XT def no

The 6900XT is a godbin core

Aka like doing 2770mhz on 430w and doing 2870mhz on 560w

On air

[weak osprey]

Damnn

[random gyro]

i played 400 flat including shipping for my 6900xt

[forest lotus]

I've gotten it to do 2910mhz on air but cant cool it for long enough to stay stable

[random gyro]

i can only do like 2670mhz but i dont have an xtxh chip 6900xt

MDM DOWNLOAD BLOCK: NOT ALLOW

[formal sonnet]

It might. I'm not familiar with how locked down MDM-enrolled Android devices are.

[warm dome]

most say its not possible

chat gpt says so too

and another option is a combination firmware but that i couldnt find for my specific device

[formal sonnet]

That's the point of locked down MDM-enrolled company devices... company would need to release the device from MDM-enrollment for you to do things with it.

[warm dome]

yea- but i dont want it that way :/

[empty quartz]

Finally upgrading

Gonna miss my old rift cv1

[weak osprey]

Please tell me it at least comes with the decent headstrap?

[nimble burrow]

Which colour looks more nicer?

[weak osprey]

The black

[formal sonnet]

Both look nice depending on your preference, but darker colors will stay cleaner longer.

[plain cypress]

I like the silver chassis, but don't care for the white band

[rigid fjord]

that 6900xt, a little extra tuning on it and it becomes a 6950xt in performance if i remember correctly as it has the xtxh die being used which turnt many 6900xt's into a 6950xt

[nimble burrow]

Which one looks more "fancy"

[forest lotus]

XTXH can surpass kxtx tuning wise

They use different bins

[rigid fjord]

nah, it's the fact it's using an xtxh die tbh

[nimble burrow]

I wonder how a black band would look on it

[forest lotus]

Its a godbin of XTXH as well tho. 2860mhz on 560w is fairly good

[rigid fjord]

i know, and many of the ones that have an xtxh die later became 6950xt's

[forest lotus]

2770mhz on 430w is very very good

[rigid fjord]

yup

[forest lotus]

Tho the vram is typical

2150mhz max

That's about all you can get on any XTXH

With the stock bios

[rigid fjord]

tbf, that's kinda typical on the vram side no?

[white sphinx]

Can you replace the bands?

[jagged frost]

Uhhhh

[forest lotus]

6950xt uses same vram on looser timings to allow it to clock higher

[jagged frost]

My phone is stuck on headphone mode

[forest lotus]

The slider goes to like 3ghz on the 6900XT ocf but will never really go beyond 2150

For mem

And the core slider goes all the way to 4ghz

But I doubt ill make it past like 3.3 on water

[rigid fjord]

the black one looks better and would match any clothing combo, especially suits, however i would go for a really good leather strap over a rubber/silicone strap

[white sphinx]

Black one looks better in those configs and is generally more classy looking (for a digital watch), id go with the silver though, its more versatile and casual

[forest lotus]

Tho tbh ocf goes pretty hard and I like that card.

[rigid fjord]

a black/ blued metal strap would also look better with it's watch face @nimble burrow

[nimble burrow]

Yea

[white sphinx]

Depends on usage, if youre an outdoorsy person id take the silver, but if you want to dress up, you dont really want it to stand out so in that case black.

Silver rim with a leather or fabric strap would be nice

[nimble burrow]

I already got a watch 7 for everything else so black is better?

[rigid fjord]

it's the way better looking one

[white sphinx]

I mean yeah i guess, id go for a dark metal clasp though over the silicon black

[nimble burrow]

I got a trash metal strap

Lol

[neat flame]

left

[nimble burrow]

I can't tell if the black is worth 5 bucks more

[white sphinx]

Probably is, get rid of the silicon strap though asap

[formal sonnet]

That I can do. I've bought a few things from Amazon's Refurbished section. You can save a bit and usually get something that's still in great shape, despite being used or without original packaging.

[weak osprey]

Got a great hard drive from there back in the day

[nimble burrow]

Amazon refurbished would be the only way I could afford this. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Classic-Smartwatch-Detection-Bluetooth/dp/B09JBC4SZB/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=14IG39HFNXNY0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BuuyypV3x0sWdltSpk82nDkRGDcV2kt5s2GnCIYFJa9-jbslTHiFi4ucgCYiOq5gJMC4_ehvEqAHDTDAXzOACV3uud0P9hLsvrobFvdsRHW3T6FMIaTgfv8r0K52C5JaiLqGXVZJiZfb2fScToFqRHJfXZoB03BlY-O08oj4FMfYvCrSAMgJE3g9K1-THMcLC2N8-rZacvAN6Rq1gHm5vA.ntCxi-wBOW4D_XWjdFg6hJItyn8eQufloJd7GU335Bs&dib_tag=se&keywords=galaxy+watch+4+classic+42mm&qid=1739945872&sprefix=%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-1 do you think it's worth trying?

[formal sonnet]

Oh, I didn't realize it was a smartwatch. 🤢 🤮 Battery life appears to be less than 5 days, so that's a hard no from me.

[nimble burrow]

Samsung smart watches don't even get to 5 days of battery life

I dont even think the "new" ultra does

[nimble burrow]

Aside from samsung and their known to be trash battery life (except for maybe the 5 pro and the ultra) do you think it's worth trying?

[empty quartz]

I dont see the issue

Can you show the differences?

https://www.meta.com/quest/accessories/quest-2-elite-strap/?srsltid=AfmBOorUBomieaVvCYVJPMPgLAiQZNefAe5mM-Q8fJDD_0wgcod5zRbr

Some come with that one and holy hell it is wayyy better

[formal sonnet]

Already provided my answer above. That said, I'm likely not the right person to ask though - to me, a watch's purpose is to reliably tell time. I do not consider a watch that must be charged more than once per work week a reliable time-keeping device. If you do, great - see how it works for you! 🙂
I've tried a few Smartwatches over the years, but always keep coming back to FitBit's because battery life. I'm currently using a Versa 2 (barely meets my 5 day between charge requirement), but am very close to pulling out my Inspire 2 again since that thing would last 10 days between charges. 👌

That was the navigation for TizenOS or whatever they call it

The only samsung "watch" to do such is the fit 3 and thats not even a watch

[rigid fjord]

tbf, can't beat a proper watch instead for that, plus it doesn't have to look tacky with anything you wear in comparison

[formal sonnet]

Indeed. Tis why my FitBit is on one wrist and my 20+ year old Timex Indiglo watch is on the other.

Is this a good low-budget pc?

[robust temple]

bonjour, my work pc right now has no graphics card. CPU is i3 10105
will a gtx 960 be a good enough card for 2025?

[for work I use AutoCad]

[limber nacelle]

for autocad? no

[robust temple]

right now I struggle with the integrated graphics ,UHD 630

[limpid dune]

...The 3D graphics might work, but the GTX 960 will almost certainly not be able to do any physical simualations, and it might not even do graphics either

[vale reef]

cookies for apps?

[limber nacelle]

welll, i mean, technically, TECHNICALLY it fits the min spec https://www.designmaster.biz/support/autocad-system-requiremen.html

[robust temple]

it's pain

[limber nacelle]

but it's not gonna be great

[limber nacelle]

^ this

also nvidia is dropping support for maxwell v2 / pascal / volta soon so

[robust temple]

thanks. i feel is pain

[limpid dune]

we don't know what's up with the mouse - maybe an old cable?

[limber nacelle]

i'd caution against getting a card that is of that microarchitecture

[robust temple]

I was thinking 1060 if not 960

[limber nacelle]

also probably not going to be great

[limpid dune]

still a little old. I would check with AutoCad to see what they recommend

[robust temple]

[limber nacelle]

Operating System: 64-bit Windows 11 or 10 version 1809 or above Processor: 2.5 GHz (3+ GHz recommended), ARM processors not supported Memory: 8 GB (32GB recommended) Disk space: 10.0 GB Display: 1920 x 1080 resolution with True Color Display Card: 2 GB GPU (8 GB recommended) with 29 GB/s bandwidth (106 GB/s recommended) and DirectX 11 compliant (DirectX 12 recommended)

Recommended: 8 GB GPU with 106 GB/s Bandwidth and DirectX 12 compliant

recommended is what.... 2070 or higher?

[limpid dune]

actually yes - the 960 is a 2GB card, so it could work

[limber nacelle]

yes it meets the min spec

but it's probably not gonna be great

[limpid dune]

wireless mice are black magic, it might just have failed to auto-pair. If it manually paired, it works

[rigid fjord]

get a g502 hero, it's a better mouse, the basilisk is an inferior clone of it

[robust temple]

thanks, ill look for second hand 2070s
right now I see a used 960 on fb marketplace at 40usd

[limber nacelle]

oh yeah i caught a rare deal on the vancouver FBM @limpid dune

[rigid fjord]

pretty much

[limber nacelle]

if you can, i'd recommend a 3060 instead, which would be probably maybe not faster but, for autocad the extra vram could be handy

i also don't really recommend turing cards (and i've been through a bunch of them) because of their tendancy to have a flackey bga

[limpid dune]

a lot of cryptographic handshakes and wireless signals have to go through in order for bluetooth devices to auto-pair, since they want to be a little careful (it would really suck if a hacker managed to auto-pair). Because of that, bluetooth devices are always kind of random and you sometimes just need to pair them again

[cyan latch]

trying to find a lightweight noise gate software and noise suppression cancels things I don't want it to and minimal latency

[limpid dune]

meanwhile on my Linux laptop, it's a 50/50 if bluetooth will even work in the first place

[robust temple]

I see a 2070 on fb marketplace at around 140usd[converted]

[limpid dune]

oh, huh. In that case, yeah, it might just be another weird wireless thing. Maybe try cleaning off the dongle in case it's a little rusty on the inside

[limber nacelle]

where are you local to?

i don't think 140usd is too crazy for a 2070, but also not particularly bad

[robust temple]

Philippines

sorry, Im not particular with desktop parts, I've always only used laptops

[cursive agate]

What do you guys think about radeon graphics

[robust temple]

being a civil engineer, I move a lot so I use laptops more often than not. My laptop isn't working right now

[limber nacelle]

don't be sorry

[limber nacelle]

how much are used 3060s locally?

[robust temple]

and the work pc provided only had an i3 10105 and no gpu

i can go 200

[limber nacelle]

dude I'm not asking you

not very helpful when I'm asking someone else a question about their local marketplace to try to help them decide what to get

[robust temple]

fb marketplace shows 205usd[converted] for 3060

[limber nacelle]

hmmm, i'm not too familiar with cad programs in particular, but if you think vram is important, paying a bit extra for a 3060 might be worth it

i think in terms of raw performance, the 2070 and 3060 should be fairly similar

but the 3060 has 4gb more vram, is a bit newer, and unlike turng cards, probably won't have a flakey bga

whether that's worth or not is up to you

https://www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/cad-workstations/autodesk-autocad/hardware-recommendations/

actually it's worth noting that puget says that autocad is light on vram, in which case, a 2070 might be a smarter choice

[tidal geyser]

i made 2 computers with it and yeah its still more then usable

[limber nacelle]

@robust temple

[nocturne matrix]

btw if the pc is issued by your workplace it might not be the best idea to add personal components to it

[robust temple]

thanks a lot, I'll look into it

[limber nacelle]

yeah, I would try to talk to IT probably

I'm not sure about in the Phillipines but companies are typically supposed to provide you with the necessary equipment to do your job

[tidal geyser]

its cheap but plenty usable?

and 12GB of vram

[limpid dune]

3060 is plenty for 1080p

[robust temple]

our entire office , of 12 civil engineers don't have any gpu
and most only has 8gb ram

[limpid dune]

yes you're gonna see some games dip, but having to DLSS once or twice is okay

yeah, a 3060 should be great, if not a 2060 or something

[robust temple]

that is true, but I'm losin patience

[nocturne matrix]

yes and unless you''re the boss or something that's a matter to bring up to one in charge. It's their problem that they can't provide the equipment for you guys to get your job done. It's not your job to spend your own money to do your job

[limber nacelle]

[robust temple]

omfg my pc was lagging I didnt know why,

most of those jobs are contract basis, where you can demand compensation for the work equipment

[limber nacelle]

I was thinking specifically about trades jobs

[nocturne matrix]

those included. Are you willing to get into the trades if they don't pay you good?

[limber nacelle]

do they provide compensation? I actually am not sure when it comes to their tools

[rigid fjord]

nope

[limber nacelle]

I thought they brought their own

but yeah no I wouldn't even consider trades if they didn't pay well

[nocturne matrix]

at least the pay has to be good enough to buy your own tools and live a life after that. If they didn't, nobody would wanna do it

[limber nacelle]

fair enough

mmmm time to hit the sack early so I can wake up to go buy my bdie and get lunch with my sister

😋

[rigid fjord]

the igpu on it is more like a 1050, plus you're not saying which xbox model exactly

nope

xbox would mean the OG xbox

and i still use my xbox 360 now and then

[tidal geyser]

or xbox series s

but no

[rigid fjord]

then you state the exact model

[tidal geyser]

the xbox x is more like a rx 6700

[tepid halo]

Guys is 24.5 inches too much for a full HD monitor

[tidal geyser]

32" 1080p is still usable

[tepid halo]

Yea just i found a really good one but i wonder if thats too big

MSI Optix G255F

So i shouldnt worry about it

Cuz like ive seen worse for more money and its like always 6 bit frc

[rigid fjord]

more like 5700/5700xt

[tidal geyser]

well tbh its more up to the game

[rigid fjord]

gpu wise, more like an rx5700

[rigid fjord]

xbox S/X

[tidal geyser]

wooow

the x is rdna 2.0

[rigid fjord]

yup

[tidal geyser]

so why compare it to a gpu that is rdna 1 and with no RT cores

[dusky crest]

I sure love picking my laptop by the display
Like why do so many things change bruh

[rigid fjord]

tbf the 760m should handle either decently

[tidal geyser]

yus

amd igpu is just amazing

[rigid fjord]

because despite that, it's not comparable to an rdna3 gpu

[tidal geyser]

the rx 6700 is rdna 2

and then there are things like the rx 6600 xt and such

[dusky crest]

Honestly i don't care if i have like 1080p on my laptop, i just want decent battery life, as well as it to be smooth
And oled would be nice but ig that's a luxury that will never exist with framework

[rigid fjord]

isn't it an rdna3 gpu?

[tidal geyser]

rx 5000 is rdna 1
rx 6000 is rdna 2
rx 7000 is rdna 3

[rigid fjord]

ah, my bad then

[dusky crest]

Then rx 500 is rdna 0? Lmao

[tidal geyser]

polaris

[rigid fjord]

nope, that's polaris which is cgn

gcn*

[dusky crest]

K

[tidal geyser]

im really thinking about going all out and buying a layer 2 switch from my server to the main machine

and sticking with it for like 10 years

[neat flame]

the series s is so much worse damn

[tidal geyser]

its also so much cheaper

[fast marsh]

Can I still adjust the fan speed of 3 pin fans plugged into a 4 pin header using software? (ie lower the voltage)

[tidal geyser]

a tiny bit

just use DC in bios and you can set it a tiny bit lower

[fast marsh]

like 20 percent?

[tidal geyser]

i think its more like the slowest is 40-50 ish or something up to different factors tho

you really do not get much control

the QNAP QSW-M408S looks pretty cool after a quick look

[limpid dune]

is the Tesla control unit the next ultimate gaming computer?

• Ryzen 7 3750H 4-core CPU at 4 GHz
• Radeon Pro W6600
• HDMI port on the side, USB 3, looks like another HDMI port but idk
• Super compact, all connected to one big water block

oh, and it has an M.2 SSD port on the inside (usually used to hold the TPU but we can swap it)

8GB of VRAM, idk how much RAM but some say 16GB

it also has CAN bus fittings if you want that for some reason

[neat flame]

why is it so powerful

[limpid dune]

I mean you're already buying a >$40 car, you might as well throw in a $400 computer to make the screen graphics nice and smooth

it runs Linux inside the car so that already works

[steel umbra]

Prebuilds be like

[rigid fjord]

nah, an r7 3750h isn't that good

[rigid fjord]

yes at whatever % you want (ideal for setting up case fans)

[warm linden]

Thermalright tf7 vs noctua nt-h2?

[rigid fjord]

neither, get some arctic mx-4

[warm linden]

I have both

Thermalright came with the cooler I got

[rigid fjord]

my condolences

[warm linden]

Already have some noctua paste

Which one is better rn

[rigid fjord]

then use what came with the cooler

[warm linden]

Is it better than the noctua paste?

[rigid fjord]

yes

noctua was never the best

[upper abyss]

helloo

what do yall think the price will actually be on release for the 5070ti?

[rain basin]

double what it should be

[mortal mantle]

has this game ever been ported to Windows

(and not been malware)

[rigid fjord]

what game?

[rigid fjord]

half a kidney

[nocturne matrix]

half? too cheap

at least 2 whole kidneys

[upper abyss]

aww man 😔 really wanted one

[rigid fjord]

nah that's the 5080

a 5090 you have to clone yourself 3 times over to afford it

[nocturne matrix]

You underestimate Nvidia's greed. You need 4 kidneys for a 5080

Aka you not only have to use your own, but also someone's too

[upper abyss]

how long till its close msrp you think

[tidal geyser]

1-2 years

[nocturne matrix]

5 years

[upper abyss]

cmon man 😭 wtf

i just want to buy a new gpu

[nocturne matrix]

It's the GPU triangle. New, decent and MSRP. Choose 2

[rain basin]

there is nothing wrong with an older GPU

[neat flame]

factual

[rain basin]

hell my mom's putting a 5700XT in her new build

my mom, 76 years old soon, wants to do her first build

[upper abyss]

need cuda, 4080 used is still expensive

[rain basin]

that's awesome

[nocturne matrix]

Yes. But also to quote Gordon ma: "gamers, you'll cry and bitch. Then you'll go out and buy that Nvidia GPU"

[rain basin]

well she's playinmg stuff at 1080p because she has the eyes of a 76-year-old woman lol

[nocturne matrix]

It's less of a hardware problem at this point and more of a social one

[nocturne matrix]

Well how did she handle building the thing herself?

[rain basin]

it's not built yet, but i got all the parts. she specifically wanted to use as many used parts as possible

[iron terrace]

quick question guys, will this run 7900 xt and 5700x3d fine? its chieftronic powerplay, on cultist tierlist it stays on top of A tier

[tidal geyser]

that does not say watts

[iron terrace]

750w

[neat flame]

should be fine then

[rain basin]

i would not trust that thing if you paid me

[nocturne matrix]

Good. And also watch her build if her eyes are as bad as you said

[iron terrace]

why

[tidal geyser]

its tier a

[iron terrace]

is it good quality? I wouldnt wanna risk the psu on those pc specs, i just wanna double check since cultist tierlist states its okay

[nocturne matrix]

I only trust my ax1600i

[iron terrace]

also, is it good or bad that its single rail?

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/meow-dancing-cat-cat-dancing-meow-meow-meow-gif-14608759981751543562

[rain basin]

there are only three makers i trust to any extent: seasonic, evga, corsair. everyone else may as well be one of those exploding PSU makers

[iron terrace]

XD

[tidal geyser]

All 3 of those have had horrible PSUs

Corsair orange label vs

[rain basin]

also i don't trust a little cabal of faceless internet dorks to tell me what PSU is good

[tidal geyser]

So you rather trust a massive corporation only out for your money?

[rain basin]

i prefer to trust no one, as far as PSUs go anyways

[iron terrace]

lmfao i guess whatever floats ur boat but idk the reason of being on tech chat if u dont acknowledge other ppls opinions

[tidal geyser]

Make your own psu

[rain basin]

i would if i could lol

[iron terrace]

i'll ask again, is it good or bad that its single rail?

[tidal geyser]

It's fine

[iron terrace]

so i should be fine with it right?

[tidal geyser]

Yolo

[frail delta]

@random gyro How’s your AI pin going? 🤣

[random gyro]

I knew it was coming 😭😭😭

[frail delta]

HP I did not expect

[random gyro]

I'm taking her out in the forest and putting her down like a real person would do.

Rip my ai assistant 🫡🫡🫡

[random gyro]

People are really mad that they won't let people mod or open source anything since HP owns all the patents and pins now

[green crown]

rip duo he got hit by a cybertruck

[random gyro]

You have a surface duo?

[green crown]

duolingo

[random gyro]

Oh

[green crown]

💀

[lapis condor]

And yet all three have made turboshit models, curious

I would trust the people with multiple thousands of dollars of test equipment to tell me if a PSU is good or not

[limpid dune]

most confusingly worded headline of 2025

[turbid echo]

bottleneck city?

[random gyro]

Tsmc doesn't want Intel fab

Intel is probably gonna be split among 2 companies.

[lapis condor]

What bottleneck

I think you use that word and not recognise what it means

Every PC ever has a bottleneck
At 4k it's the gpu
At 1080p it's the CPU

But it depends on the application
Games? Still depends on the game

[turbid echo]

i think you don't realise that bottlenecks vary.

"bottleneck city" means lots of bottleneck. but in a lot of cases, i see this as the cpu bottlenecking the gpu. unless this is a video editing rig, which i think it isn't marketed towards

[limpid dune]

intel is definitely going to split into Intel and Intel Fabs, just like GloFo splitting from AMD... it's just the sensible way, but they don't want to tell shareholders "we are going to sell our fabs and they will instantly go bankrupt" so they have to sugar coat it

[solar moat]

dont get any of the 200 cpus

[random gyro]

Don't get any Intel cpus*

[turbid echo]

yerp

i saw what happened with 13th/14th and just decided 7800x3d was my choice lol

[solar moat]

i think they fine just the 285k worse then 13700k

in games

[turbid echo]

however i am currently suffering with a 7800x3d, 32gb ddr5-6000 cl30 and 1650.

[random gyro]

Amd > Intel

[turbid echo]

for gaming*

[solar moat]

lol

[limpid dune]

1650 with a 7800X3D is insane

[solar moat]

your funny

[turbid echo]

its a borrowed gpu 💔

[tidal geyser]

eh not really

[turbid echo]

eh kinda yeah.
intel is more productivity than gaming

[rain basin]

yeah don't buy intel chips after 12th gen, and even then 11th gen was a bag of ass

[turbid echo]

if we're not basing this on the shittiness of intel drivers

[tidal geyser]

amd is still better for productivity in some fields

[limpid dune]

eh, I mean the 9950X3D is almost here, which is better in ALMOST EVERY WAY... except for, ironically, the iGPU encoder

[solar moat]

there good and bad cpu form amd and intel and depending on uses case/buget some are better then others

[tidal geyser]

i am thinking about a core ultra pc, but only due to the media engine

[solar moat]

if your overclocking intel rapter lake are good bit better

[random gyro]

I wouldn't trust Intel fab with my keys 😴😴😴

[tidal geyser]

how

its already running at 400w out of the box

[turbid echo]

no.

[random gyro]

Now if Intel used tsmc that would be another story 🤑🤑🤑

[turbid echo]

no raptor lake.

[tidal geyser]

they do for core ultra

[rigid fjord]

no and and now learn to remove that word from your dictionary

[limpid dune]

even an overclocked 285K aint gonna beat a 7950X3D bro, unless you specifically look at memory bandwidth

[random gyro]

No shot?

Tsmc based

[turbid echo]

i believe so.
really the only case where this would be a good setup is if you were using this for video editing, which it isn't marketed towards.

[tidal geyser]

i think they also have for most other cpus produced by TSMC too since their own foundry's are utter ass

[turbid echo]

and it kinda "wastes" a perfectly good 5080 that could go to customers instead of someone buying the new prebuilt because they need somethign fast for roblox

[rigid fjord]

3d rendering, code compiling also good options for it, you could game on it but it would lose to any x3d cpu from 7000 or 9000 series ryzens tbh

[turbid echo]

2nd last word

[rigid fjord]

still not a bottleneck @turbid echo

[random gyro]

I think we should all wait for Nvidia to launch their CPU

[limpid dune]

core ultra has intel silicon core tiles and interposers, the rest of the silicon is TSMC. So the worst of both worlds 😭

[tidal geyser]

na they will cost a ARM and a leg to buy

[lapis condor]

Overclock the 285k's various clocks and it can reach parity with the 7800x3d

Ofc, that's not a fair comparison
But still

[tidal geyser]

in what games?

[lapis condor]

Near all of them iirc

[random gyro]

When I saw arm I was excited. Then I read the sentence.

[lapis condor]

But especially those that are known to enjoy IPC and clockspeed

[tidal geyser]

and have they fixed cyberpunk on it?

[lapis condor]

Not a clue I've not kept up

[tidal geyser]

also power draw?

[turbid echo]

8 performance cores 16 efficiency cores 💔 what is intel doing

[tidal geyser]

huffing glue

[turbid echo]

and its not multithreaded either, i dont feel like this is good for them !!

[tidal geyser]

intel MT is ass

[limpid dune]

hate to say it bro but; it's gonna be shit

realistically, it's not even going to approach AMD64. it's either going to be a mobile-tier ARM doohickey, OR it might end up being halfway to an M4 Max... which would mean it's gonna be unbelievably expensive and at best on-par with Zen 5
