7900x build still cheaper than a 7402p while being faster

[nocturne nebula]

yes

but clock speed is not a factor.. i need core for vms and nas, i chose the 7402p bc of it being a good middle ground between speed and cores for what i need and what im working with right now.

[nocturne nebula]

also higher memory max on epyc

[red badge]

true, it does allow for way more memory

Adaptive brightness is the best

[tidal geyser]

12v 2x6 was not even the issue this time

[median warren]

Each day I'm thankfully i invested in 40 series before 50 series release

[lapis condor]

haaaaaahahahahahhhaaa

[glacial kraken]

I hate Facebook so much

[median warren]

Delete it

[glacial kraken]

The settings are horrible, it took about ten minutes to delete an old account and another half an hour to make my account private and not professional

[tidal geyser]

All rog pc too

7k total

[glacial kraken]

Nah it is the only good place for fishing groups

Local knowledge

[median warren]

All rog PC is so fire, no pun intended

[tidal geyser]

Played a game then after boom it stopped working tried to turn it on and FIRE so bad there are marks on the motherboard

[glacial kraken]

Finally, I have made my account just right, it's private, and it's my only account

[median warren]

Warranty timeeee

[median warren]

Yeah i deleted Facebook and while ago too tbh, I made a new account with 0 info, just my name and all the settings customised for privacy and 0 information, just use it now for marketplace

[tidal geyser]

Uh well they kinda need stock to be able to replace his gpu

[muted lance]

hello. I was able to do conversions and math straight from the start menu but not anymore. what might cause this?

[glacial kraken]

I got banned from marketplace lol

[lapis condor]

what the fuck

[median warren]

He would be a priority though

[median warren]

Gg

[lapis condor]

It's asus no he aint lmao

[tidal geyser]

Why

[median warren]

Ah right it's asus

[glacial kraken]

Even tho my birthday is set to 2000 it knows I'm underage

[median warren]

My bad, I forgot that they don't have good customer service

[glacial kraken]

Cause I set my pfp to my face

[neat oxide]

The more i see of the 50 series, the more i see...that shit is a fuckinh ripoff

[tidal geyser]

Asus ain't getting a cent from him again so why would they waste a gpu they can both sell old stock and make loads of money on to give to him for free

[median warren]

Bc warranty

And they'd probably have the right to sue or something

[tidal geyser]

Warranty just means he has to get a unit back at some time

[median warren]

I'm sure there is a reasonable time frame, aka I'm sure they can't make him wait 2 years for one

[tidal geyser]

And asus can also claim they are doing research or something on his card for å few months

[tidal geyser]

It's asus and nvidia soo it can be possible but probably not

[median warren]

Oh yeah ik they'll pull out all of their excuses

[median warren]

To be fair, as long as the customer gets reimbursed in some way shape or form within a reasonable time frame, its okay

[median warren]

If not, then sue their ass

[median warren]

I actually do wonder what went wrong on the insides

To have that happen

[tidal geyser]

600w

[median warren]

What about it

[tidal geyser]

It's 600w

[tidal geyser]

Not seeing any issued with these kinda electronics at 600w is more strange then not

[neat oxide]

You know, just forcing more watts through a system shouldn't be the solution to getting more fps and stuff

More technological upgrades should be

[median warren]

I wonder if is the graphics card that caused the issue

[random gyro]

more power gives more performance

[neat oxide]

Is there really a difference between the 40 and 50 series aside from more wattage

[median warren]

Performance

[true stirrup]

You should check out shunt modding

[neat oxide]

Whats that?

[tidal geyser]

No shit pumping more power into the card will give more performance

[frail topaz]

tc1, never change

[median warren]

😭 hey man I'm not wrong

[tidal geyser]

Can make the card think it's using half the power it's actually using

[median warren]

1000w power draw gpu incoming

[neat oxide]

Thats beneficial for?

[frail topaz]

OC

[granite sundial]

newest NVIDIA drivers hardcrashed my PC twice in Alan wake 2 guess I'm gonna roll it back

[neat oxide]

Oh ok

[granite sundial]

idk how tf all the newest drivers do is add support for 5070 ti and dlss 4 in marvel rivals

[tidal geyser]

More performance

[neat oxide]

Also the word shunting makes me uncomfortable

[true stirrup]

You solder a resistor onto a specific part of the GPU making it think it's pulling half of its power

[tidal geyser]

Shat gpu did you have again

[neat oxide]

This just sounds like you wanna speedrun burning your house down

[median warren]

Shunt modding is not meant to make a gpu live longer, does quite exactly the opposite

[median warren]

Not really, if you know what you're doing, and using a high quality power supply, you're all good

[true stirrup]

It's not meant for daily driving

[tidal geyser]

Well it's not meant to be a long term thing

[neat oxide]

By forcing more power through it?

[tidal geyser]

Xd

[median warren]

Maximising performance

[median warren]

What's wrong now

[neat oxide]

More power = more heat which = not good

[median warren]

Right

So use more heat dissipation

[tidal geyser]

Uh the board is not meant to do 2x the power draw

[true stirrup]

More power = more performance

[fluid matrix]

do you also know a good intel socket? (I know AMD has the better deal most of the times but I just want to compare them)

[coarse forge]

Chat

[tidal geyser]

Lga 775

This is a joke BTW

[median warren]

Ofc it's not, just like how cpus aren't meant to have liquid nitrogen poured over them, but people still do it

[frail topaz]

core 2 duo ♥️

[coarse forge]

Should I buy am5 with igpu

Or

Am4 with gpu

Budget is £600

[frail topaz]

LGA1700

[tidal geyser]

600 is not good

[tidal geyser]

Used am4 pc

[true stirrup]

We already told you yesterday you can get an AM5 build with a 6600xt for 600£

[tidal geyser]

Or that

[coarse forge]

Just wanted more responses jeez

[median warren]

Yeah it's a big decision, so it's fine if he is anxious about making a choice

[fluid matrix]

alr

thank you

[frail topaz]

or LGA1851 but just dont mess with that

[fluid matrix]

i mean

[solar moat]

ah yes for gaming 285k getting beat by cheaper i7 from a few years ago

[fluid matrix]

almost everything would be a upgrade from what i have now

[random gyro]

So what We need cooler companies to step. Their shit up
Water or air cooling aint enough
We need casea that have these electronics submerged in cooler liquid lile crypto miners which is cooled by special oils and liquid nitrogen

[tidal geyser]

What is the budget?

Also please for the love of God do not use user benchmark

[fluid matrix]

i really dont have a specific budget

[tidal geyser]

Then amd offers the best for gaming

Intel has nothing that's really close to amd

[neat oxide]

Please dont diddy your pc with your "special" oils

[fluid matrix]

I do like a lot of things on my pc

[tidal geyser]

The 9800x3d for gaming had no competitor

[frail topaz]

maybe the 14900k for desktops but thats a 🔥 (literally) chip

[fluid matrix]

not just gaming (and when i play games they are MOSTLY gpu heavy)

[tidal geyser]

The 7800x3d still beats it

9800x3d does a lot more

[tidal geyser]

Eh still 9800x3d darn nice if you do not have a budget

[frail topaz]

of course

[tidal geyser]

And due to the low power use you do not need to spend much on a motherboard

[fluid matrix]

alr imma look at that

[true stirrup]

You just get a custom loop and gg

[neat oxide]

Isnt the 9800x3d only a bit more expensive than the 7800x3d tho

[tidal geyser]

Eh kinda

I think the 7800x3d is back to 480 while the 9800x3d is 600

But for a massive budget the 9800x3d had no competitor

Well other then the last generation

[neat oxide]

Man im jealous of those prices

In Canada both those are 600-700$

[tidal geyser]

Well yeah usd vs cad

[frail topaz]

CAD?

[neat oxide]

Yeah

[frail topaz]

well of course then

[rigid fjord]

you use the website itself not windows search

[tidal geyser]

Anyway a 7600 is plenty

A guy coming from 2 14900k was seriously impressed how good the r5 7600 was

[frail topaz]

LOL

[tidal geyser]

I think you know why he had 2

[drifting crow]

i have two lists can u guys tell me which one u guys think is better

[junior valve]

what is that rattling noise?

[drifting crow]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/yPKvDj

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/kNxpQd

[latent pasture]

[frail topaz]

could be all sorts of things but check if a fan is caght on a cable

[junior valve]

i checked , all clear

[tidal geyser]

What is this

[latent pasture]

wat r these supposed to be

[drifting crow]

im rlly new

[tidal geyser]

Good lists

[drifting crow]

and i dont know what im doing

[latent pasture]

if theyre going for a white build why change the mobo

[tidal geyser]

So you have a great cpu and gpu that will beat the other list in just about any and every game and the other list is uh

[drifting crow]

first or second list

[tidal geyser]

What do you think

[drifting crow]

idkkk

like i said im new

[tidal geyser]

Also why watercool a 7800x3d a cpu that draws 50w when gaming

[tidal geyser]

The 7800x3d and 7900 xt will nuke the other pc

[latent pasture]

neither
the list that includes parts from both would be better

[tidal geyser]

Yup

[latent pasture]

like why not 7700x with the cheaper mobo of the 2nd list

[tidal geyser]

Anyways its all very overpriced

[oblique terrace]

Windows XP SSD cloning is fun

[drifting crow]

its aud

[tidal geyser]

No shit

[latent pasture]

what about it
its overpriced even in aud

[oblique terrace]

This sucks

[drifting crow]

can u help then

[thin plover]

sim

I got the headset

[tidal geyser]

Nice

[true stirrup]

Budget?

[drifting crow]

3500 aud

[somber mauve]

Hey all my gpu has 2 plugs should I be using 2 diffrent cables to power it or will one cable with 2 plugs work fine?

[latent pasture]

you could make the more expensive list fit in 3500 with minor adjustments

still white https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/8G2JpK

[drifting crow]

ok ty

[junior valve]

y that aio

[lime bone]

quick question; can you use a UniFi G4 Doorbell Pro as an access reader thing to unlock their electric lock?

[gloomy sleet]

also 140 dollar fans

[junior valve]

that’s important

[latent pasture]

they put that there

[gloomy sleet]

that’s a bit much

[oblique terrace]

Fuck Hewlett-Packard

[junior valve]

some high quality fans instead of shitty aliexpress ones wont hurt

[gloomy sleet]

a 3 pack of rgb fans is like £30

[junior valve]

u can get like 6 ll120s for that

[latent pasture]

also its aud

[gloomy sleet]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/P49kHW

[gloomy sleet]

a 3 pack is 34 aud lol

was going to say you could fit a 7900xtx now but apparently not https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/qcyYRV

[junior valve]

what fans?

[gloomy sleet]

here

[junior valve]

those arent pretty

[latent pasture]

or get a cheaper fishtank case that also comes with free fans
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/z7yYRV

idk whythe pic wouldnt load correctly but it looks like a fine white pc with a 240mm aio
(not exact same mobo and gpu but its pretty close to what itd look like)

and those are the 3 free case fans

[oblique terrace]

I'm about to shit on this laptop keyboard and close the lid

It's really that bad of a piece of crap

[tidal geyser]

Spent 600$ on my intel i5 13th gen laptop with a nvidia gpu and it performs worse then a mini pc with 2 cores aka i3 4th gen at 1.7ghz

I tried everything but a windows reinstall but it's utter dogshit

[fluid matrix]

is aura rgb header just a different name for a ARGB header or are they different

[tidal geyser]

Screen is ass it does not last

[tidal geyser]

3 pins is argb
4 pins is drgb
More then that is not rgb or is some random shit standard

[fluid matrix]

okayy

[oblique terrace]

Pata SSDs do exist

[fluid matrix]

so for example, these are ARGB pins right? (sorry for blurry picture

[rigid fjord]

the second one is far better build, though if you wanted you could do a best of both

[neat flame]

guys yall wanna see a funny take

[ebon spire]

Like what exactly? Somebody mentioned the PSU being E tier but Ive never had any issues with it

[true stirrup]

This can go wrong in so many ways

[latent pasture]

surely theres a defect if its that bad
even if horribly power limited it shouldnt get beat by that

[tidal geyser]

Well not performance wise I suspect but just the feel of it

[tidal geyser]

I swear the laptop is just utterly dogshit and does not last

[latent pasture]

ssd problem

[true stirrup]

I mean I guess it's fine if they are referring only to themselves

[rigid fjord]

the hdd's. ram, psu mainly, other than htat you use the paste that comes with the cooler, not add in extra paste

[tidal geyser]

Well just opening the Web browser takes a short while

[forest cipher]

it tells me nvme status failed but it does recognize it in the settings, any help??

[north marlin]

Last year i started saving up money for a new gpu. I was planning to get 5080 but now im reconsidering. Im not about to play 1600 for a fucking graphics card

[tidal geyser]

Dead nvme ssd

[ebon spire]

Whats wrong with the ram? Corsair Vengeance, 3200mhz and its 32gbs dont see what the problem with that would be, and Im assuming with the drives is that theyre sata, and barracudas which are from when I first built this pc so Im not gonna have less storage or like replace them unless I need to

[true stirrup]

Yeah not worth it

[tidal geyser]

Rx 9070 xt is not too far away from launch and the rx 7900 xtx is a choice if you go used

[forest cipher]

fr??, i bought it like 2 months agoTwT

[strange atlas]

Can anybody help its been almost a month https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1337481292589170818

[tidal geyser]

Name of this nvme

[latent pasture]

9070 isnt looking good tho

[tidal geyser]

Also reseat

[tidal geyser]

As long as it looks better then nvidias shit show

[forest cipher]

it's a wd black

[north marlin]

Cheapest 5080 and 5070ti here in Latvia. This is just insane

[tidal geyser]

Tells me nothing

[true stirrup]

Get a mouse pad

[rigid fjord]

as it's vengeance ram, this

[forest cipher]

WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB

[bronze jay]

Please help, I don't understand how I'm using so much ram and yet so little in each app

[tidal geyser]

Is that the boot drive?

[bronze jay]

I have 32GB. This should not be happening

[forest cipher]

yes

[strange atlas]

I do have 3 mousepads both didnt work I have Klasse classic, hyperx, Klasse Pro

[tidal geyser]

Why is it in percent

[bronze jay]

I set it to percent just now

I usually keep it in mb

[true stirrup]

Ram is meant to be used

[tidal geyser]

That too

[bronze jay]

Well yes but if I had 16gb I'd have none left, which means something is wrong

[broken saffron]

whats wrong with percent?

[true stirrup]

Nope it would just use less

[night skiff]

Wich uns is the best? They are all around the same price the sn770 a little more cheap but it doesn’t matter!

[latent pasture]

theres like 200+ proceses or something

[bronze jay]

It doesn't show how much ram is being used by each application

[night skiff]

Is the 990 evo better than the 990pro?

[strange atlas]

press performance tab and show us

[tidal geyser]

Xd

[latent pasture]

lol no

[bronze jay]

mb is better because it tells you exactly what's actually going on

[tidal geyser]

God no

[night skiff]

Ik that the 990evo is gen 5 so probably faster no?

[latent pasture]

990 evo is dramless gen5x2/ 4x4

[night skiff]

What are the main differences

[ebon spire]

Never really had any issues with the ram that Ive noticed

[night skiff]

What ahahaha didn’t understand

[tidal geyser]

First of all it only had 2 lanes and secondly the pro has dram making it on paper many many many times faster

[strange atlas]

you do actually have 32 gigs 😮

[bronze jay]

As someone who has 32 you don't need 32, don't get too envious

I got it because I didn't want to ever think about ram but here I am

[night skiff]

2 lanes? What do u mean

[tidal geyser]

16GB is plenty for gaming

[bronze jay]

^^^

[night skiff]

So I should go for 990pro 2tb or the sn850x 2tb

[latent pasture]

990 pro

[strange atlas]

No like you said i have it but i wasnt sure if you actually had it

[tidal geyser]

You do not need a fast drive

[latent pasture]

but what are u doing that u want ultra top tier ssd

[tidal geyser]

I swear I have made like 10 lists for you already

[bronze jay]

I get that

[tidal geyser]

When will you be buying the pc

[night skiff]

Why not? I am thinking starting to make some videos

Editing

[latent pasture]

fast ssd only becomes obvious if u do like say professional video and audio editing that makes you transfer terabytes of files at a time

[bronze jay]

so what then, my computer is using ram because it's good to use ram? It's holding more application memory so I can switch between them faster?

[dapper light]

That

[latent pasture]

even gigabytes sized files, "cheap bad" ssds alreayd do like 5gb/s while expensive ssds do 7gb/s

[night skiff]

Nothing now I just want gaming but I’m thinking to starting to edit

[dapper light]

I literally edit off a network drive via gigabit
Kek

[bronze jay]

and so the only real problem would be if it was exceeding what it can afford to use and stuttering?

[dapper light]

And it still works fine

[strange atlas]

press that 3 dot button in performance tab and press resource monitor and press memory and send us photograph so we could see

[dapper light]

Any SSD will work

[latent pasture]

and yeah that
people edit off network storages that r like 250mb/s

[night skiff]

I just wanted the date because I want the installing games or updates to be fast

[bronze jay]

I have a SATA SSD from 2016 and it's still good

[dapper light]

Gigabit is 125

[latent pasture]

and ur tearing ur hair out deciding on 7gb/s vs 7.5gb/s

[night skiff]

Next week

[night skiff]

Ahahahaha sry

[dapper light]

Whatever editing software you'd use most likely load the video into ram anyway

After the initial load

[tidal geyser]

Even a hdd can get close to maxing out a 1Gb link

[tidal geyser]

No no I am thinking wrong

But 4 consumer hdds can max out a 1Gb link

[strange atlas]

memory

[bronze jay]

@latent pasture my only problem with my SATA SSD is that sometimes when I want to copy large amounts of files it takes a few minutes

[dapper light]

1Gbit is only 125MB/s

[bronze jay]

You don't need "top tier"

[dapper light]

Any consumer HDD will saturate it on sequential tasks

[latent pasture]

this is for processing a 30gb set for adobe premiere
the big jump in time at the bottom for sata ssds
the rest are minor improvements eve gen5 vs gen4 vs 3 vs budget and expensive variants of both
and remember gen5 is 2x faster than 4 which is 2x faster than 3 which is 7x faster than sata (so gen5 is 28x faster than sata in raw bandwidth)
yet the actual observed usage tell nothing of this sort

[tidal geyser]

Sata is only 600Mb

[dapper light]

Sata is 600MB

[tidal geyser]

Yes I am dumb

Ducking sata I keep forgetting it's 6Gb

Theoretical

[dapper light]

More accurately 550MB/s or the standard's name
SATA 6Gbps

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[bronze jay]

Exactly. What I'm saying is that it's shitty in today's standards and nothing to tear my hair out over

So if you just get something decent you should be fine

[dapper light]

Out of all the standards SATA is one of the most straightforward one

[tidal geyser]

Ok yeah no not originaly wrong a normal consumer hdd can max out a 1Gb link

Not all but some should be able to

Maybe not CMR

[dapper light]

CMR is the faster one

[bronze jay]

@strange atlas

[dapper light]

SMR is the slower one

[tidal geyser]

Whoppse

So many different names

Welp ama take a shower

Good luck

[trail wyvern]

is drive cloning (software raid 1 for both) faster than good old copy paste?

[dapper light]

It would be as fast as the slowest drive

[night skiff]

the sn770 faster than SN850

[trail wyvern]

I know that, but would cloning go faster than just copy pasting?

[bronze jay]

I got my 4070 in december right before prices skyrocketed because I felt it coming

[strange atlas]

Can you choose commit from top so you can see it in order

[bronze jay]

What

[bronze jay]

oh

[solar moat]

32GB or bust

[night skiff]

so i might go whit the sn770

[pearl notch]

Hey guys,
Just need a quick insight..
So i got my girlfriend a 12700k.. but not sure what GPU do I pair with it.. she’s an average gamer but dont wanna max spend just maybe enough

[solar moat]

rooky number you have more then 0mb free

[bronze jay]

I try to manage bloat.

[strange atlas]

So many small things open in the background

[solar moat]

i do to but have 0mb free

[bronze jay]

What can I do about it

[latent pasture]

convince them to not be an ultra settings bot and give them like 7700xt or something of that tier

[strange atlas]

in task manager show us your startup apps

[night skiff]

If u say i dont need the sn850x or the 990pro i will just go with the sn770

[pearl notch]

Well I got like 2070 in old storage room.. but if I play on her PC it might be shiet

I got i9 13th but on 4070 ti.. hmmm

Thank you so much for the input again! But ye Im atill confuse

[bronze jay]

wtf apple mobile device manager

[strange atlas]

this is your problem

[latent pasture]

y not use the 2070 and see if theyre fine with it
might be able to avoid buying anything altogether

[bronze jay]

I downloaded it one time to help my friend who doesn't own a pc and now it's a parasite

[strange atlas]

deactivate all the ones you dont need

[pearl notch]

Ogi I guess I dont have to spend too much then 🤣

[pearl notch]

But what GPU would u reckon in a quick buy?

[bronze jay]

wtf is steelseriesgg

[true stirrup]

The app that controls steel series devices

[bronze jay]

When In try to screen snip task manager I have to move it to the other monitor and then the snipping tool is underneath

[true stirrup]

Honestly a really good app when it works (it usually doesn't)

[latent pasture]

higly depends on what country/store and what u want to spend ig

[bronze jay]

I don't think I have any steel series devices

[strange atlas]

I was trying to find my pc parts apparently almost none of them here my, case , psu , keyboard, mouse, headphones https://pcpartpicker.com/list/72fQKq

[pearl notch]

Im in AUSTRALIA and dont wanna spend like 4070ti

[true stirrup]

Then delete it

[latent pasture]

pcpp is shite outside of developed countries

[bronze jay]

Also, my motherboard RGB is suddenly dead or something. MSI center won't even detect it. I tried uininstalling and reinstalling and disabling and re enabling in bios and flipping the motherboard switch and none of it will make it detect it

Do i need to flash my bios or something?

[strange atlas]

😳

[true stirrup]

The fact your PSU is not on pcpp worries me

[true stirrup]

Try SignalRGB

[strange atlas]

oh its non branded psu it came with the case :d

[bronze jay]

Can you send me the proper link so I don't accidentally download malware

[latent pasture]

send him malware

[true stirrup]

Replace it or you will be even more in debt

i know i will do it one day

why dont you have intake fans

Did you read the part where I said I need 4 reverse airflow fans?

[pearl fossil]

it's €22.49 on sale rn with free shipping should i risk it

[true stirrup]

I'm so fed up with microsoft. Does anyone know of an app that can force it to work like windows 11 clock

[pearl fossil]

i think i'll order it

[trim idol]

I mean, the board is actually brand new... jsut not all the chips on it. You can tell because it has NVMe. No board from that era had nvme on it

[trim idol]

I've bought a fair number of these remanufactured boards on ali and they've been good

[true stirrup]

Very safe

[pearl fossil]

will i be able to boot from it though? i heard with a lot of these new mobos with nvme you're not able to boot from it

and it makes sense since yk this kind of motherboard wasn't meant to even have nvme

[latent pasture]

there are just rare

[pearl fossil]

and wow this board supports 32gb

i won't be having more than 16 in it but wow

[trim idol]

I've not done it with that chipset, but on others that didn't initially support NVMe, yes, I've booted from it

[latent pasture]

w8 4th gen is no longer 1155 right

[pearl fossil]

yup

only 2nd and 3rd gen

[latent pasture]

oh sadge

[pearl fossil]

well technically some 4th gen are ivy bridge

[trim idol]

I also have systems booting off pcie nvme cards... I've actually never had a system that wouldn't boot off a nvme whether that tech existed when the system was made or not

[bronze jay]

wtf it works again

it was the "light keeper service" application

[keen stratus]

Will this DVI fit into these ports

[bronze jay]

I'm but happy and also kind of mad

[pearl fossil]

normally i think so

[keen stratus]

I was asking cuz the cable has pins and the port also has pins

[pearl fossil]

if anything i'll just use a bootloader on a hard drive lol

like i'm gonna be running macOS on it either way so doesn't really matter where i put opencore

[bronze jay]

It works now. Just another example of MSI being shit at developing software

I thought I had to buy a new RGB controller

[keen stratus]

So the pic of the cable I sent will fit?

[true stirrup]

It should

[keen stratus]

Alright I thought I should ask since ports had pins inside and the cable had pins

[true stirrup]

Makes sense

I love their bios tho

[tidal geyser]

Well.yes

[bronze jay]

I tried asking so many times and I couldn't get a good answer. The ONLY reason my RGB works again is because you happened to be in chat. Thank you so much.

[keen stratus]

Alright good

[livid fern]

Model name is black power

Stress test it

[true stirrup]

I've already had one PSU explode in my pc I really don't want another one lol

I just use it to flush my loop easier

[bronze jay]

Me too

[iron glen]

it hasnt even been 10 min and im already stuck

[bronze jay]

It looks like I only have 2 jrainbow ports. I swear I had 3 before. So weird.

[tidal geyser]

Good thing they can be daisy chained

[bronze jay]

Can I add splitters or will it overload

What happens first, does it fry itself or does it shut off

[elder quarry]

What is jrainbow

[bronze jay]

RGB port that's like this -- -

[tidal geyser]

Just keep the LEDs under 3 amps

[elder quarry]

Blinking lights

[tidal geyser]

Aka most argb ports are max 15w

[bronze jay]

I have some german brand idk the amps

[elder quarry]

Doesn’t most motherboards have 1 amp or is that fan headers

[bronze jay]

alphonfonn. I had them shipped from germany because I like the ring design. They took a while to get here

[elder quarry]

I don’t remember

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tidal geyser]

Fan header is more like half that bit for 4 pin rgb it's 1amp

[elder quarry]

The amperage raring is usually on the back

[tidal geyser]

For the fan not rgb

[elder quarry]

Ah

[tidal geyser]

Anyways unless you do something dumb it's fine

[bronze jay]

Once I replace my ssd with a 4tb one the transformation will be complete and I will have a fully high end pc

I don't like having to uninstall games

I could fit all of the files I wanted to keep on a flash drive but games are so big now

[elder quarry]

Specs?

Alr gtg skiing

[bronze jay]

32Gb ddr4 3200mhz with like b dyes or something, ryzen 9 5900x, msi meg x570s ace max, rtx 4070, kingston 1tb SATA ssd, 1200w power supply with a little display that tells me the power usage

I look at the display often to make sure my compuiter isn't wasting power on nothing

[junior valve]

2 amps

fan headers have 2

[true stirrup]

1200W PSU

[bronze jay]

I got it specifically because it's overkill

I don't want to replace it until it literally burns out

[tidal geyser]

A 650w would do the same and maybe even last as long

There have been moves to make computers 12volt only

[latent pasture]

why replace when can add

[bronze jay]

I don't want to deal with RAID bullshit and also my sister needs a bigger drive

[tidal geyser]

What

You do not need to deal with hardware or software raid

[oblique terrace]

I'm going to install windows 11 on a Quantum Bigfoot drive and benchmark it

Just to mess with the algorithm

[latent pasture]

so just.. use it as a 2nd drive
who said u need to raid

[bronze jay]

I just don't like having to think about it. I like the simplicity of having ONE drive

[latent pasture]

this is some next level of not paranoia, but something

[bronze jay]

stubborness

[tidal geyser]

Uh just no

[fluid matrix]

This pin would be a ARGB pin right? (it has 3 pins) website is saying that it is just ''rgb''

[bronze jay]

Eventually I will get a hard drive backup

[tidal geyser]

I would not want to think about how the convo with the local repair show would go when your drive dies

[latent pasture]

yes thats what the A means

[bronze jay]

I'm not talking about not having a backup drive that's been on my todo list for a while

[latent pasture]

how convenient ur about to have a 2nd drive that you wont do anything with

[fluid matrix]

oh wait that makes sense... thank you!

[tidal geyser]

Having a backup is the nr.1 thing you should do

My rule is, if there is not another backup of a file it did not matter

[bronze jay]

I know, I just don't have any important files yet

I'm going to get one this year

[dapper light]

Wanting to have ONE drive is wild considering how often the C drive combust thanks to windows

I even split a single drive into two partition

[bronze jay]

That's whyh i'm going to get a backup.

[dapper light]

You really rather cut your usable storage in half than using it as a second drive to store only necessary files (because also mirroring the windows install is wasteful)
But you do you.

[bronze jay]

If a file isn't necessary then I delete it

[elder quarry]

Why 4070 and am4

[bronze jay]

I got the cpu years ago

I just recently replaced the 2060 with a 4070

[tidal geyser]

Good move

[tidal geyser]

Why not

[elder quarry]

[rigid fjord]

get a nas instead

[elder quarry]

Amd, and for a new system I would go with am5

[tidal geyser]

What do you mean amd

[rigid fjord]

lol, no it won't be

[elder quarry]

Radeon GPU

[tidal geyser]

Also am4 has been around for 8 years

[bronze jay]

I don't care

it's high end to me

[rigid fjord]

nope, most are 1 amp per header, only some do 2 amps per header, and only one designed for use with a pump for custom loops/aio's do 3amps

[bronze jay]

I don't buy parts all at the same time, I replace them overtime as I become dissatisfied

[elder quarry]

In my opinion storage capacity doesn’t matter if it’s “high end”

[tidal geyser]

I think for most it's more like 0.8 or something but tend to say 1 amp myself too

[bronze jay]

You're just playing semantics, again I don't care how it's actually classified

[junior valve]

my mobo fan header supports 2amps , aorus board

[tidal geyser]

Well no shit, its super high end

[rigid fjord]

nope, 1 amp on average dude

[tidal geyser]

Dam

[junior valve]

aorus elite isnt highend

[rigid fjord]

that's just the aorus board, it doesn't count for the rest

[rigid fjord]

nope, not high end at all

[tidal geyser]

Dam

Welp damit

[junior valve]

stock fans gets up to like 95c , i replaced it with ml120s , down to 88

full load

[vocal parrot]

should i get the razer blackshark v2 x or hyperx cloud stinger 2

[bronze jay]

I need to get some kind of cable so i can change the RGB on my psu

it's just been red ever since I got it

[tidal geyser]

Well yeah it came in the box

[quick stag]

new mousemat and monitor light chat

[rigid fjord]

an old 2nd/3rd gen ipod there

[quick stag]

6th gen classic

180gb

[tidal geyser]

I just bought me a kit of parts with a hx750 in it

[rigid fjord]

didn't they slim it down after 4th gen?

[mortal venture]

I got free parts

[gloomy sleet]

so if i were to cover my xbox one motherboard and chip in epoxy resin to frame how would i do that

just pour it on it then put the wooden frame around it?

[tidal geyser]

200$
Motherboard asus rog strix b450f
CPU ryzen 2600x AMD cooler / new thermal paste
Ram hyperx ddr4
Gpu strix gtx970 -new thermal paste
Corsair 750w - cables enough to power the aforementioned components.

[gloomy sleet]

id be skeptical of that psu

unless its new then itll be fine

[tulip geyser]

is the stock Ryzen Prism Wraith CPU cooler bad? Cause I'm currently temporary using the one that comes with my ryzen 9 7900 and it's idling 55 to 60 and I don't think that's normal. I have re-applied thermal paste and still same. I have no OC or anything enabled

[tidal geyser]

Nope it's really good

[tulip geyser]

damn so wtf did I do

[tidal geyser]

Sounds like normal idle to me

[tulip geyser]

55 to 60 idle is normal?

[tidal geyser]

Just make sure the lever is all the way down

[calm idol]

55-60 can be normal depending on fan curve

[tidal geyser]

On ryzen 7000 yeah

[tulip geyser]

ok

[tidal geyser]

Well OK fine its a bit high but not too bad

[tulip geyser]

almost panicked

[tidal geyser]

Also you were probs not measuring idle

[tidal geyser]

The psu when new cost as much as all of this

[tulip geyser]

ok thanks for the answers, just asking cause was seeing temperatures that was worrying. Should be getting a better cooler soon

[calm idol]

anything below 95 or so is completely normal temp anyways

[tidal geyser]

The cpu is even made to do 95c 24/7

[tulip geyser]

aight

[rigid fjord]

you build a frame first, place the board in it, then pour in the epoxy resin mix

[dusty dew]

Time to play Forza @rigid fjord Just installed in my external SSD

Though pretty jank 780m isn't a preset for Forza and have to benchmark to set proper settings

[rigid fjord]

someone modified that corsair psu dude, i would not touch it

[rigid fjord]

tbf, most games won't

[tidal geyser]

How is the psu modified

[rigid fjord]

look at the fan, it looks to be an arctic p12/p14 that's black caged with white blades being put into it

[tidal geyser]

With the corsair logo?

[rigid fjord]

not a corsair logo on it

[tidal geyser]

Yes it says corsair

[dapper light]

That is a corsair logo

[rigid fjord]

when you show a bigger pic sure, not when it's the smaller one

[tidal geyser]

No I can still tell on this pic

[rigid fjord]

still the corsair psu's don't have white fans in them

[tidal geyser]

What

[tidal geyser]

Also it's gray

[rigid fjord]

if it was the cx-f, that would be a clear blade due to them having rgb

[bronze jay]

SignalRGB works so quickly that it updates the RGB even as I drag my mouse across the sliders. Other apps would freeze and stutter for a second.

[tidal geyser]

Anyways its the same gray fan as on the corsair website

[hushed tapir]

i was deleting some files on my pc and all of a sudden avast appeared on my pc, i have only kaspersky. can someone help?

[latent pasture]

also gray on cybenetics test who r like the psu guys

[rigid fjord]

my bad then, so used to them only using ones with black blades

[tidal geyser]

I'm not

Most of my corsair power supplies are gray fan

[gloomy sleet]

simple enough

just need to not be shit at woodworking

[tidal geyser]

Anyways worst case the buyers protection is really really good

[rigid fjord]

you may need to partially pour in some epoxy resin mix beforehand and then set the board onto it

[gloomy sleet]

thatd probably be the best idea

dont want the board scratching whatevers behind it

[rigid fjord]

it's not that it'll scratch it

it's about having it have enough space for the resin to go behind the board itself

if needs be, some nylon spacers/standoffs also works

[dapper light]

Buyer's protection don't cover the parts that a PSU blew up with itself. Not implying the one you're buying is bad.

[gloomy sleet]

ehhh

[dapper light]

Related to PSU.
Second hand sellers on my country straight up void personal warranties if you use a shit PSU

[gloomy sleet]

most of the time a psu dies it doesnt take other things with it atleast on modern ones

[dapper light]

Because 10 bucks bomb PSUs are so prevalent here

[rigid fjord]

these

[gloomy sleet]

i think i have some of those

[rigid fjord]

incorrect, it won't take things out with it, if the psu has all the relevant protections

[gloomy sleet]

ill think about it tomorrow thanks

[tidal geyser]

Good thing I have a lot of working e waste

[chilly pawn]

yo what’s a good small case in the like 110 - 120 budget i would like rgb fans pre installed for good airflow if possible im from the uk so my currency is pounds and i can buy from amazon or overclockers uk

[tidal geyser]

How small

Ans are you ready to pay the sff tax

[rigid fjord]

if it's a piss poor psu, then that psu will take 1 or more things as it dies

[gloomy sleet]

most modern ones should have those protections

not shit psus will be fine

[rigid fjord]

wait til we show him matx mini cases that have the same foot print as itx ones

[clear oasis]

if your so worried about your psu quality just go to tomshardware and read about it

[tidal geyser]

It's a used psu momo

[rigid fjord]

funny that there are several modern ones that are shit psu's

[clear oasis]

i wouldnt buy a used psu

[tidal geyser]

I have bought many

It's a hx corsair psu a line known for its quality

[rigid fjord]

or psu cultist website, looking up the model in it's tiering, and looking up reviews via the spreadsheet they have

[dapper light]

My current one is used
A Tier A

[tidal geyser]

Same

[dapper light]

Be quiet straight power 11, the gold one

[tidal geyser]

The hx should be a+ or a++

[clear oasis]

my psu has been with me since 2017 so i know where its been haha

[tidal geyser]

Well considering I have over 20 computers I have no clue where most of that hardware has been

[rigid fjord]

for example of reviews in the spreadseet

[clear oasis]

i have a platinum i think superflower or something or the evga one thats just a rebranded superflower

its quiet and lovely

10 year warranty

[dapper light]

A used Tier A PSU has less probability of blowing up than equivalent priced Tier C and below

[clear oasis]

probably

[dapper light]

Worse case the PSU kills just itself

While low tier ones can take other components

As long as the used psu is not modified of course

[tidal geyser]

Yeah I love the used market

I love buying a or b tier power supplies for like 20-30$

[clear oasis]

my one concern with used hardware is if the guy is a vaper

otherwise it doesnt matter

[tidal geyser]

For me it is smoker

[clear oasis]

smoker or vaper

vape leaves sticky residue everywhere

[tidal geyser]

Vape does not leave too much behind but smokers really do and you can't wash it out or do anything

[ashen hedge]

Same price as the 16e 💀

[tidal geyser]

Only had one really bad smoker pc

It smelled and looked horrible

[dapper light]

Mainly because conventional cigarettes got them tar

[tidal geyser]

It was a mini itx prebuilt from msi so was not easy to take apart or reassemble, I DEEP cleaned that thing but nope

[dapper light]

The idea that people are willingly smoke tar is still wild to me

[neat flame]

wayyy better deal than a 16e

[tidal geyser]

What was it like 40-100 known poisons in a cigarette

[dapper light]

Let's see....
Hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, radioactive polonium 210, carcinogenic formaldehyde

[gusty wagon]

even if it's chili oil?

[neat flame]

polonium 210 is probably the deadliest here

[dapper light]

Per mol yes.
But the amount is so small it's the least of your worries here

Chemical toxicity is the biggest concern

[sinful cobalt]

Some1 tried bundling a gigashit PSU with the 5070ti aero I wanted

Maybe I shldve bought it and detonated it in front of his face

[thorny saddle]

very cool story

[tidal geyser]

O well

[tidal geyser]

Snail gotten your hands on a 50 series yet?

[thorny saddle]

Not yet - and now they're catching fire

[tidal geyser]

True

[thorny saddle]

https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-rog-astral-rtx-5090-catches-fire-after-capacitor-blows

[neat flame]

2800$ is insanity

[thorny saddle]

Capacitors exploding is the insanity

Haven't had a good capacitor face spray since my X570 Master

[bronze jay]

I don't buy new cards. I usually prefer to buy whatever the previous generation is because now they always cost $1000+

[thorny saddle]

You fuel my hobby NeutronJohn

[bronze jay]

Wait I think that's not true

Because 4070 was current in December

[bronze jay]

How?

[sinful cobalt]

heard 5080 had 1 case or so on the PSU side

[thorny saddle]

That's not what I am talking about see article above

[thorny saddle]

Do you buy used?

[sinful cobalt]

5090 was alr widespread news

[bronze jay]

No

[thorny saddle]

That's not what I am talking about see article above

[bronze jay]

I'm lucky, I can afford not to

[thorny saddle]

Oh just new old stock

[bronze jay]

yes

[sinful cobalt]

chey capacitor mb

5090 has a few raster tops missing aswell for some cards

[thorny saddle]

That's a shame I sell a lot of basically brand new GPUs

[sinful cobalt]

some1 also stated 70ti had the same issue

[bronze jay]

I already have one

Crypto ruined the idea of used hardware for me

[thorny saddle]

I am just saying, I will buy GPUs and usually sell within 5 - 6 months

I picked up two 4080 Supers and I think I sould them 7-8 weeks later lol someone got a good deal

[teal sinew]

the downfall of Asus will be studied for generations

[thorny saddle]

ASUS will rise again

[teal sinew]

their 50 series cards are expensive and poopoo

somehow MSI is dominant for thermals and noise this gen

excluding the ewaste Ventus

[thorny saddle]

Ventass

I just hate dragons so I will die on that hill

[teal sinew]

somehow this little gaming trio card gaps the Asus TUF this gen lololol

[sinful cobalt]

msi’s higher models are mid asf

[teal sinew]

and even the monstrous Astral cooler loses out to the MSI Vanguard and MSI Suprim

[sinful cobalt]

ventus is what u pay for lmao

[teal sinew]

hell nah you got it backwards

the ventus card is ewaste it's loud and hot

the gaming trio, vanguard, and suprim are far better

[thorny saddle]

The worst was the prev gen MSI cheese grater

[sinful cobalt]

its a msrp card ofc its gonna be shit

[sinful cobalt]

LOLFR

[teal sinew]

the new ventus card is following in the footsteps of the old msi armor cards that were horrible

[sinful cobalt]

thats the only card that’d make me consider buying asus models

[thorny saddle]

ASUS Prime asus cards

[sinful cobalt]

prime looks alr for what it is

[teal sinew]

Ventus is doodoodoo

the prime gets like 65c btw

[sinful cobalt]

I liked the proart in SFF pcs

[thorny saddle]

I am going to buy the most expensive 5090 and rip the cooler off anyway

[teal sinew]

so the prime isnt great either

[thorny saddle]

prime sux

[teal sinew]

the astral that blows capacitors? xd

[thorny saddle]

yes

i will glue them down ahead of time

[teal sinew]

the downfall of Asus will be studied for several generations

[thorny saddle]

Disregard michael

he didn't even try ARL

[sinful cobalt]

astral is big on many things and loses to vanguard?

[teal sinew]

yah asus shit the bed

[thorny saddle]

Truth is the bed was too small and ASUS was tired of it

[teal sinew]

if i could pick any card i wanted i would pick the 5090 aorus master ice i think

[smoky karma]

is the vanguard the top msi card ?

[teal sinew]

it's just so pretty

[sinful cobalt]

with suprim yes

[teal sinew]

suprim is, but the vanguard performs nearly identically

[sinful cobalt]

imo aorus master is better mounted vertically

[smoky karma]

ah okays and id imagine its not as thicc as the supreme is ?

[sinful cobalt]

it looks mid mounted normally

[thorny saddle]

(the secret is that none of this matters they all perform the same so long as they aren't missing ROPs)

[teal sinew]

Vanguard left Suprim right

[smoky karma]

ah okays

[teal sinew]

the suprim is thicker and heavier

[sinful cobalt]

they both look shit

for being their flagship

[smoky karma]

id still take that over rgb puke tbh

[teal sinew]

yeah im not a fan of the way that any of the msi cards look this gen tbh

[smoky karma]

i like the industrial design of it

[teal sinew]

but my cases dont have windows anyway so i buy off price, and thermals:noise

[thorny saddle]

they all look the same when you rip the cooler off

[rigid fjord]

tc2 leaking into tc1?

[thorny saddle]

trying to improve the quality

[brave brook]

getting low temps is not hard, getting low temps at low noise is what is important

i don't care if the GPU goes 53C when it also sounds like a jet engine while doing so

[sinful cobalt]

Which is why buying a PNY card to watercool it is the most sensible thing but u do u

ur gonna resell anyway

[thorny saddle]

fun fact - there are rarely any PNY waterblocks made

[teal sinew]

the test is noise and power normalized

[sinful cobalt]

rly? damn

[charred sundial]

What's the difference between windows home and pro again

[brave brook]

aren't PNY always just "standard design" ?

[eternal cloak]

Some negligible shit, most notably RAM capacity support

[thorny saddle]

there is no "standard design"

[brave brook]

reference etc

[eternal cloak]

Home supports 128GB and Pro supports what, 2TB?

[brave brook]

https://bykski.eu/products/en-waterblocks-gpu-nvidia-n-rtx4080h-x

[thorny saddle]

Can join domains, etc. Don't need.

[thorny saddle]

For some models, sure

Also Bykski = no go my dude

[charred sundial]

Cool I’m going to the windows… Microsoft… website right now to buy a key!!!!1,

[brave brook]

that was just an example

[thorny saddle]

Yes but you have to look at more than "it fits":

The end result is - don't buy the low end cards to block - the blocks are never made to fit properly its more of a "oh it happens to fit sorta"

[teal sinew]

i would probs wait and then buy a card that already has a block made specifically for it

instead of buying a card immediately at launch and then hoping that a block that fits it will be made

[high elm]

usually for the rarer cards only brands like bykski makes blocks for them

like my 4080 sakura

oyeah p sure 4080 was supposed to use 2x 8 pins

there are the things on my board for them

[gleaming rose]

:3

[vestal stream]

pretty

[vestal stream]

twink

[gleaming rose]

?

[vestal stream]

[high elm]

yeah lol the only white pcb for the 4080

other than the HOF

[clear oasis]

whats the shortcut to restart windows explorer

[gleaming rose]

hi mom

[clear oasis]

hi

nevermind i figured it out

[wheat field]

Anyone here know how to install mullvad on mint while in mainland china?

[clear oasis]

stupid windows corrupting itself

[iron glen]

i <3 windows

[tidal geyser]

Yeah ask iono about it

[wheat field]

Nevermind, just airdroided the flatpak

[tidal geyser]

What is she on the 4 reinstall

[clear oasis]

Mine literally just started like a week ago

[tidal geyser]

Mine just works

[clear oasis]

On a laptop with no issues, no hardware issues second time it’s broke in 6 months

[tidal geyser]

Even on the laptop that loves disconnecting the c drive windows is still working as it should while my games are corrupted

[clear oasis]

It’s probably the ssd

[tidal geyser]

Yeah if it's the oem ssd then it's probs qlc

[clear oasis]

I dun think it’s qlc tbh

I’m going to go exercise I’ll check later lol

[tidal geyser]

Welp what even is the issue you are having

[clear oasis]

Whenever I have a monitor connected to the laptop and I leave it alone it’ll shut off randomly

It won’t boot with a second monitor connected

lol

[tidal geyser]

Have you tried a different display cable

[clear oasis]

no

[tidal geyser]

Do that

Might be a damaged or broken cable

[clear oasis]

ok

when I get back from the gym I’ll try

[tidal geyser]

Nice, have a good one

[eternal cloak]

CTRL ALT DELETE -> task manager -> File -> Open New Task -> Type in 'explorer'

[eternal cloak]

Even QLC SSDs usually don't pose much of a problem, especially if they're new

Could be a DOA SSD though

[bronze jay]

Does anyone know what the cable is called for the "addressable RGB" port

[eternal cloak]

That sounds like something you'd want to consult the manual for

What's the PSU unit in question

[bronze jay]

ROG THOR 1200W

I was hoping someone was already familiar with it

[eternal cloak]

lol

It's the third page in the manual

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/612722.pdf
It's for the 850w, but since it's the same unit it's not gonna differ

[tidal geyser]

It came in the box

[bronze jay]

I bought mine secondhand

Unless it was the one affected psu it's fine

They still sell repectable power supplies at low prices

[sinful cobalt]

tier F

[tidal geyser]

Yeah so does corsair have

[tidal geyser]

The psu in the build?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

i am not hearing anyone out when its gigabyte psu

i am going to associate any gigabyte psu with a bomb
plan

[lethal bay]

lmao.

[tidal geyser]

This guy is very brand>product

[sinful cobalt]

(I was trynna get a 70ti aero)

[tidal geyser]

Exactly

Well kinda

[tidal geyser]

What is more important product or brand

[sinful cobalt]

the moment the guy said gigabyte psu we went hell nah

[sinful cobalt]

both

[tidal geyser]

You can only chose one

[sinful cobalt]

product

[thorny saddle]

you just got done telling us you don't buy used

[bronze jay]

It was my only option

I don't remember why

[south arrow]

Goodmorning my tc1 fams

[tidal geyser]

That's not what you have kept on saying

[south arrow]

[thorny saddle]

A used psu but you won't buy a used GPU? Sheeeesh

[bronze jay]

It's not like some kind of principle I just avoid used hardware

[thorny saddle]

A used PSU is super sus

[gloomy sleet]

used gpus are probably the safest thing to buy used

[gloomy sleet]

i avoid new hardware as principle

[bronze jay]

Good

[sinful cobalt]

mini neutron bomb ✅

[bronze jay]

It's good to avoid e waste

[tidal geyser]

Just bought a used psu

A 80+ platinum too

[bronze jay]

The seller was reputable and tests their products before sending them out

4.5 stars and lots of reviews

[lethal bay]

my open box RM1000e

[gloomy sleet]

but you wont buy a used gpu?

[south arrow]

It's one of the things that's harder to notice if tempered with until to late so I understand snails point (yes most of my psu are used)

[tidal geyser]

Fun fact I have only ever bought 2 PSUs new

[bronze jay]

Not unless it's a really good deal or something

[thorny saddle]

I am just saying the dude said he'd never buy a used GPU but bought a used PSU is wild

[tidal geyser]

Ofc

[sinful cobalt]

thats legit crazy

[tidal geyser]

Anyways I know what I am doing

Already done it well over 60 times now

[gloomy sleet]

thats what most used gpus are

have you seen new 3060 prices?

[south arrow]

That's valid sims, snails just meant for the comparison

[bronze jay]

It doesn't have to make sense to you, I can't trust that any used GPU wasn't abused by some crypto bro

[thorny saddle]

who cares if it was crypto brod tho

[sinful cobalt]

its been proven crypto does nthn

[tidal geyser]

And I only have 1 dead and 1 shit power supplie

[gloomy sleet]

crypto mining abuses a gpu less then normal gaming

[dapper light]

Well when recommending to someone else it makes sense to say never buy used

[south arrow]

To not get a used gpu but willing to get a used psu is alittle sillies

[thorny saddle]

how do you know a PSU isn't completely hosed and you plug it in and it zaps your entire system

[bronze jay]

They tested it and had a warranty

[dapper light]

That's the neat part, you don't

[gloomy sleet]

how do you know that the psu hasnt had the resistors tooken out

[tidal geyser]

Test it with some atx ewaste parts like i do

[south arrow]

Or swapped for x

[tidal geyser]

What

[bronze jay]

Why are we arguing about this? I don't care

[tidal geyser]

We do

[thorny saddle]

its just a wild take

[sinful cobalt]

Experienced PC builders: 👍
New pc builders:

[tidal geyser]

I hate typing on my phone

[south arrow]

Butttt anyhow very niche very unusual. Used psu are ok but having the take that it's ok but a used gpu is not is weird

A used gpu even by miners are typically undervolted so they don't awaken to a house fire

Or to damage their unit and lose profits as that's counterproductive to the goal of mining

[dapper light]

You mean undervolted

[tidal geyser]

I would rather buy a used mining gpu then gaming

[gloomy sleet]

same

[south arrow]

Hate auto correct

[tidal geyser]

Way less likely to get solder cracking

[south arrow]

Miners stay in the 60-70s unless they have old cards and free or cheap electric and don't care about efficiency, gamers hit that 90+

[vale reef]

D:

[gloomy sleet]

i once got my 4060 to 93c

[tidal geyser]

Thermal cycles

[gloomy sleet]

i was rendering 4 games at once actively

[random junco]

what 😭

[tidal geyser]

This is the main killer of gpus

[sinful cobalt]

good job, u somehow made an efficient gpu unefficient

[gloomy sleet]

it was still at 110w

[sinful cobalt]

ntnt (nice throw)

[tidal geyser]

That's not how it works

[sinful cobalt]

even worse

[tidal geyser]

Inefficient does not mean hot or cold

[gloomy sleet]

thats normal usage

[sinful cobalt]

its a joke btw

im not meaning literally

[tidal geyser]

Jokes are meant to be funny

[sinful cobalt]

Pokes msi and asus : gib 5090

Asus site was robbed yesterday had the tuf up like all day but it was not really available

[sinful cobalt]

[south arrow]

Hopefully not to long of a wait for shipping and lmao you know final fantasy move or maybe a magnus from baiton kaitos

[gusty wagon]

[sinful cobalt]

[gusty wagon]

windforce 6600xt

[sinful cobalt]

oh xt

i deadass thought he was using non xt

[gusty wagon]

i don't remember

it doesn't matter

[sinful cobalt]

he’s back in tk anyw

[gusty wagon]

don't worry about that too

we have tabs on each other

24/7, as family do

yep, everyone has access to everyone else on the Find My network

[sinful cobalt]

btw i was late yesterday on purpose

and he was still later

[gusty wagon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

probably just enjoy stuff and throw away the judging

[sinful cobalt]

nah u told me it runs in the family

its 100% a canon event

[grand eagle]

Does this matter?

[elder quarry]

Depends

[elder quarry]

One is nvme, one is sata

[tidal geyser]

No

[elder quarry]

The bottom one looks weird

[tidal geyser]

Or we'll that

[tidal geyser]

How so

[elder quarry]

I don’t really pay attention on how the connectors look

[tidal geyser]

It can be missing most of its pins and still work

[latent pasture]

just look up the model number anywhere

[elder quarry]

Yeah, it probably doesn’t need all the lanes

[grand eagle]

It’s the ssd in my laptop I’m trying to replace it with the other one but the new one isn’t recognised

[elder quarry]

The bottom one is usually faster

[grand eagle]

But it’s only 128gb

[elder quarry]

Is the bottom one the new

[grand eagle]

Nah

Oh no wait it is

[tidal geyser]

Not pcie lanes the missing ones

Huh

[tidal geyser]

M.2 is a connector that does many things
