[frail delta]

Neither

[random gyro]

[gloomy sleet]

google

[upper wave]

I forgot how easy it was to make a pc a chromebook

[gloomy sleet]

do your own research and dont trust tech youtubers is the way

[random gyro]

ok

[boreal vine]

Wrist rest

[broken saffron]

what 😭

[random gyro]

i was wondering when samsung are paywalling the ai features

[frail delta]

Ask Samsung

[upper wave]

I don't think anyone knows here

[frail delta]

I think someone twos here

[broken saffron]

why would you

[random gyro]

i might get the nothing phone ngl

[broken saffron]

i threes here

[random gyro]

nothing phones r great value

[upper wave]

because my old laptop is running slow and I don't want Linux

[gloomy sleet]

what do you want out the phone

[random gyro]

to do phone stuff

[gloomy sleet]

like?

[random gyro]

people get new phones, but never use the compute

[gloomy sleet]

multiple people have different definitions of that

[frail delta]

Phone stuff? How much do you want to spend

[random gyro]

10 dollars

[gloomy sleet]

if you just text use a nokia 3310

[upper wave]

there is no phone for $10

[random gyro]

on temu there is

[broken saffron]

@gloomy sleet what do you think about g903 on mac?

[gloomy sleet]

idk

[upper wave]

don't trust one from Temu, it will be the worst phone ever

[gloomy sleet]

ive never used that

[dusky crest]

https://www.amazon.de/Touroll-B1-Battery-Pedelec-Electric/dp/B0D46J7JY5
What are the odds of this burning down? Like i just want a bike for rego like going to school and shi

[broken saffron]

nah temu is the goat

[frail delta]

You said you don't want it to look like a gaming mouse lmao

[cosmic stratus]

they said after 2025

[random gyro]

i wouldnt use products from unknown brands for lithium batteries

[gloomy sleet]

not likely but not impossible

[frail delta]

And you're going to have a dongle sticking out of your Macbook all the time

[compact rose]

Does anyone have a confident choice in a 75-85 inch Oled TV? Price range about $1500. Don’t know much.

[random gyro]

does that apply for features on the earbuds too

[broken saffron]

the redragon one looks way flashier

[upper wave]

any samsung TV

[gloomy sleet]

huh?

all it is is a logo

which your hand covers anyway lol

[cosmic stratus]

im not sure on the details

[robust trail]

It is... some switches?

[compact rose]

I’m trying to find the “best” in that market though, any specifics?

[random gyro]

dont sony do the best tvs

[gloomy sleet]

whatever the one on sale is

[broken saffron]

it doesnt bother me too much

[upper wave]

in my opinion all Samsung TVs are great, but I don't think any tv out there will be $1500 for 75"

[gloomy sleet]

the m913 is a beast for excel and video editing and shit

main things you do on a mac

[random gyro]

also i got a mouse for 20 dollars, is it enough

[boreal vine]

No I mean the keyboard itself lol

[frail delta]

True freaks in the sheets don't touch their mouse.

[boreal vine]

me when I peddle ewaste to strangers online

[upper wave]

from my experience with them, I don't think they are the best, Samsung has good UI (sony has Google TV which pushed users to use their store)

[broken saffron]

i wont be editing videos, maybe a little excel use

[boreal vine]

facts

[cosmic stratus]

chat gpt gave me a good selection but its all based on winter sales

[gloomy sleet]

its not e waste its just a good mouse

[random gyro]

the sony guy said they are best tvs on the market

[indigo bay]

its not e waste if you never throw out your electronics

[upper wave]

Of course the sony guy would say that, it is his brand. It is like me asking an Apple employee is I should get a Mac or Windows Laptop, he would say apple

[gloomy sleet]

everyone of my colleges ive recommended it to have said its perfect

[random gyro]

😭

[frail delta]

Grammarly is free.

[upper wave]

LG is a good contender, I like their TVs

[gloomy sleet]

what?

[random gyro]

gramamrly free sucks

[upper wave]

I use it, it works well

[cosmic stratus]

they are AMONG the best

[indigo bay]

Grammarly*^

[cosmic stratus]

they arnt THE best

[frail delta]

Did you recommend it to colleges, or colleagues?

[random gyro]

it always doesnt tell you the corrections that are needed

[gloomy sleet]

oh yeah

[random gyro]

unless u buy

[gloomy sleet]

im stupid

[indigo bay]

not true, i went to the playstation booth and the guys said xbox was better

[frail delta]

We know :P

Mods I'm joking

[upper wave]

99% of the time they would say their brand it better

[gloomy sleet]

anyway all the people who ive recommended it to have said its the best mouse theyve ever used

[indigo bay]

granted he said he works for sony only to get revenge in the inside

[random gyro]

people say the best mouse is the apple mouse

[frail delta]

Because they're used to other random el-cheapo mouses?

[upper wave]

no, not at all

[gloomy sleet]

no he isnt im currently wiping the tears away at that comment

[agile stag]

i like the g502

[indigo bay]

did anyone else have fights break out and rival platforms beating each other in high school

[agile stag]

imo its the perfect mouse :3

[gloomy sleet]

no they wanted a mouse with 12 side buttons

[indigo bay]

like the xbox and PlayStation fanboys actually fighting irl

[frail delta]

And yes, mouses is correct in this context

[gloomy sleet]

why

[upper wave]

I use a nintendo switch

[random gyro]

some people just like making every single product apple 🤷

[gloomy sleet]

we know

[cosmic stratus]

a god send for macro users...

[gloomy sleet]

real

god send for excel

[cosmic stratus]

I personally use 2 bottons on my mouse for minecraft camera toggle

pretty useful

[random gyro]

btw is kaspersky the best antivirus

[cosmic stratus]

but I dont need more than 2 buttons

[agile stag]

ive got a foward button and a back button

[gloomy sleet]

ive seen one of my freinds make a graph with it its like watching a wizard

[agile stag]

whats it do

[gloomy sleet]

not enough

[frail delta]

Nobody should be using a mouse in Excel

[agile stag]

i also have 2 bonus buttons but they go unused because logitech software sucks

[agile stag]

ive ran two mice on google sheets something about it wasnt too bad i forget why though

[left dove]

[gloomy sleet]

i need one for ctrl v ctrl c forward backward ctrl f ctrl d ctrl z win shift s win d and other shit

[random gyro]

scan files

[gloomy sleet]

fair

[frail delta]

We’ve done a cool $50 million of R&D on the Apple Human Interface. We discovered, among other things, two pertinent facts:

• Test subjects consistently report that keyboarding is faster than mousing.
• The stopwatch consistently proves mousing is faster than keyboarding.

[gloomy sleet]

but its good for it otherwise

[agile stag]

thats neat i guess but i dunno uh my files are pretty fine i think

i do wonder if it would find anything to be angry about on my pc

[tulip geyser]

thinking of getting the Tangzu Wan'er S.G as my first IEM to try and introduce me to the Audiophile world and IEM space. Is it good? I will mainly use it for gaming and music. Gaming is very casual singleplayer and MMORPG's, and Music as in Pop.

[gloomy sleet]

id say the keyboarding is better then

[random gyro]

i keep getting calls from guys from microsoft saying i need to connect to their secure server

[gloomy sleet]

if the user thinks its faster and prefers it then so be it

[agile stag]

i have no input on those but i have cca cras they cost me 20$ and theyre insane for that price

[agile stag]

evil

[upper wave]

i think you are here to troll

[random gyro]

they wont take no for a answer. i think microsoft need to hire more professional workers

[left dove]

thats called

a scam

[agile stag]

fun fact most people who think they have a virus probably just accepted notifications for chrome and theyre getting notifications from random websites about anything at all

[random gyro]

no?

[tulip geyser]

I'll check those out thank you

[agile stag]

theyre probably not the best but theyre 20$ and they do good :3

[gloomy sleet]

i kinda want another mouse

thinking a superlight 2

[agile stag]

evil mouse

[weary nacelle]

whats a good cpu cooler for an am5 mobo

am5 chip

[gloomy sleet]

?

[agile stag]

its pretty common but at least the fix is easy enough

[agile stag]

i use a g502 i have to just oppose lightweight mice

[gloomy sleet]

i use a m913

thats heavier then the g502

[agile stag]

i do like chrome personally

[agile stag]

hmm ok fine then ill excuse you

[mossy sparrow]

Hi, I've got a question.

I'll buy a new laptop on Black Friday with a larger screen and I want to know if I can better choose a laptop with a internal GPU or with a dedicated GPU.

I mostly use my current laptop for programming, media consumption, to surf the internet and gaming. The game I play for now is Clash of Clans for context.

I'll use my future laptop for the same things but however I was advised by someone that my use case doesn't warrant buying a laptop with a dedicated GPU.

I would lastly like to hear your input about this.

[agile stag]

yeah just run something with a not garbage igpu and youll be alright

[elder quarry]

K

[gloomy sleet]

i just want a different mouse

[agile stag]

dgpus have their compromises and realistically you probably wont need one

[mossy sparrow]

Alright, so you say it doesn't matter right?

[agile stag]

fair go for it then

[gloomy sleet]

i need one for work (ill 100% be using the m913 for that) and one for home

thinking a lighter actual gaming mouse

[agile stag]

fair their ui is nice and they do mix well with google profile stuff and all that and im also just familiar with it but grr they are a little evil

[mossy sparrow]

As long as the integrated GPU is good, my present laptop also has a AMD Radeon integrated GPU.

[agile stag]

for what youre doing you should be fine unless your programming is really insane

oh and gaming too yeah hmm it depends what games actually

im bad at reading

:3

[mossy sparrow]

Nah, I only build scripts, apps and website.

[elder quarry]

Scripts? What scripts

[mossy sparrow]

No, it's just a grain field with a blue sky

[agile stag]

hmm alright just watch what games you play then and then also just get a solid igpu

ideally get a uh laptop that doesnt have hinge issues or cooling issues

[mossy sparrow]

Alright, thanks!

[broken saffron]

you have that on the buttons?

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[agile stag]

but that stuff is harder to know

[mossy sparrow]

Okay, I'll pay attention to that.

[gloomy sleet]

some other stuff

[broken saffron]

damn itd take me like 5 years to remember allat

[gloomy sleet]

i think i have volume up volume down and end

for the last 3

[agile stag]

what does the end button even do

[gloomy sleet]

end stuff

[kindred halo]

@left dove Guess what
I've finally completed a case plan that I am (Mostly) okay with
RAM listing is single channel only FOR THE MOMENT, will most probably be able to dual channel
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JGYbyW

[gloomy sleet]

i use it for GHPC

[elder quarry]

?

[left dove]

[agile stag]

grr whats ghpc

[gloomy sleet]

[kindred halo]

PC is short for Personnel Carrier

[left dove]

also nice, i might be getting a 3090 soon

[gloomy sleet]

its a game

you need to use end to end missions

[agile stag]

i see i see

[gloomy sleet]

my keybaord doesnt have end on it

[kindred halo]

There's a Hall of Fame one here with all its stuff for 600 :3

[agile stag]

evil fake war thunder

[gloomy sleet]

nah its better

[left dove]

The title's supposed to be like "Gunner, HEAT! PC"

[gloomy sleet]

the pc does mean pc as in personal computer

[kindred halo]

Gunner!! APBC!! Tankette!!!!

[left dove]

besh

[agile stag]

tankette mm ok ok

[gloomy sleet]

pretty good game

[kindred halo]

Yeahhh but PC would be a little confusing, especially here lmao

[gloomy sleet]

highly recommend it now that it doesnt run like shit

[gloomy sleet]

thats the joke in the title

[kindred halo]

GHM 🙏

[gloomy sleet]

gunner heat PC is a phrase used in the game for a PC

[agile stag]

i cant buy game i NEED more audio equipment

but maybe one day

[left dove]

please tell me the tank commander can tell you to target a computer tower

[gloomy sleet]

its like £20

idk

[agile stag]

that gets you pretty far

[gloomy sleet]

i havent tested

[broken saffron]

opp of home

[agile stag]

30 dolla its not audio equipment but it does have a couple headphone jacks

[agile stag]

home buttons HATE this one EASY trick

[left dove]

[broken saffron]

home buttons take you to your home

they are good

[agile stag]

what are you gonna plug it into though

[left dove]

???

[agile stag]

i pressed mine mere seconds ago and nothing happened

[agile stag]

it has usb ports too

[left dove]

what are you on about

[broken saffron]

skill issue honestly

[agile stag]

the motherboard its got aux and usb its crazy

[left dove]

???????

[agile stag]

ill keep it in mind

[left dove]

all motherboards have a fucking line out and usb

are you high

[agile stag]

most of them probably do

and all that for only 30$

oh and that one also comes with a 5820k pictured separately

[sinful cobalt]

I might get a hyte y70 non touch, slap regular arctic p12s and call it a day

[agile stag]

valid based

[sinful cobalt]

fuck the lianli corsair or whatever fans

fuck rgb, I just like the y70 design

[agile stag]

i NEED a phanteks enthoo with NOCTUAS

[elder quarry]

Yeah

[sinful cobalt]

finna transfer the non rgb fans from my h6 flow

[wheat field]

Hey guys so about the new laptop. Performance is great BUUUUUT

[wind radish]

5070 TI vs 7900XTX for the same price?

[sinful cobalt]

raw raster XTX

[wheat field]

There's two white marks from I assume pressure damage that show when it's booting (pitch black screen) can't see it during normal use

Best to just not care?

[sinful cobalt]

If u want flame generation or potentially missing rops, then yk

[magic ivy]

about damn time we got some

[agile stag]

do they line up with the kb or anything

[wheat field]

Nah, just seems to be from the previous owner lugging it around

[agile stag]

huh well if you buy it used then it might be a bit used

[rough imp]

I’m upgrading the cpu on an old office dell optiplex motherboard and I’m going to fit it in a regular pc case and make a low end gaming pc with it (my room’s a mess)

[agile stag]

i wouldnt worry about it just make sure you trust the hinges and youll be fine enough

its not worth keeping a laptop in perfect shape anyways imo

[wheat field]

Worst case scenario: replace the screen

[somber void]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/n2JTFZ
retro build idea

[wheat field]

My thoughts exactly. My Thinkpad that was killed by a Starbucks employee was held together with tape

[sinful cobalt]

chat should I set aside my x870 steel legend that somehow the CPU 8pin socket came out (The pins are still there) and get a B850 gigabyte ice (For the better white aesthetic)

[agile stag]

how did it die

[rough imp]

Oh god the old thermal paste doesn’t even come off with water

[agile stag]

you could so easily just ship of theseus it

[wheat field]

Guy knocked it onto the floor and it never turned on again. Decided I got my money's worth

I live in China so secondhand tech is cheap

[agile stag]

hmm fair enough

china seems neat hmm i dont know how the tech market would be there uh secondhand wise

[broken saffron]

which one did you get?

[wheat field]

Some 2060 mobile i7 shabang with 16 gigs of ram

Hassee, clevo reseller

[broken saffron]

the firsthand market is great id think secondhand would be better too

[wheat field]

Cheap and reliable

[broken saffron]

what company?

[wheat field]

As long as you're not stupid

[wheat field]

Hassee

Hasee*

[broken saffron]

hmm never heard of it

[wheat field]

Clevo reseller

[agile stag]

just as a disclaimer this seems fake

[sinful cobalt]

yk what I shall do that, cya in a month

[agile stag]

or not disclaimer i forget the right word but it looks fake just in case anyone uh thinks its not

[sage lily]

Are there any m.2s that can take advantage of gen 5 x4

[wheat field]

No

[sage lily]

As I’m looking at a b650 motherboard for my new build and it only has 2 gen 4 x4 lanes and the gpu is gen 4 x16

[wheat field]

Actually, maybe

[sage lily]

https://amzn.eu/d/fUUdiIK

[hollow sorrel]

Whats a good GPU in the £500 (About $630) range

[sage lily]

I want to use the mobo for 9800x3d

Will there be any problems?

[agile stag]

TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS

[hollow sorrel]

It literally says it supports Ryzen 9000

[agile stag]

grr im glad i dont worry about modern hardware and prices anymore

all of this modern hardware talk is evil

[sage lily]

I know I’m kinda asking if there is any benefit to go 850 or 870

[agile stag]

one thousand dollar gpu that is 8 times faster than a 1080 or something all just to play like webfishing and have it still lag

[hollow sorrel]

Wait we're up to 9000? Bruh I'm still on 2000

[sinful cobalt]

no

[sly halo]

4060 ti

[sinful cobalt]

I might start a war when I pair a hyte y70 non touch with non rgb arctic P12 fans, a non RGB AIO (Except for the infinity mirror)

[sly halo]

Or 4070

[hollow sorrel]

Reviews say that sucks

[robust trail]

😦 I have to go to game developers conference instead of gpu tech conference

[sly halo]

what about the 4070

[agile stag]

i ran an 011 mini with corsair uh black and gray fans

it was nice

[valid heron]

what’s the best gpu to get for a 900£ budget build

honestly can’t decide

[sinful cobalt]

do i wanna replace my x870 steel legend for a b850 gigabyte ice for the purer white aesthetic or na

[agile stag]

i am planning on replacing my asus rampage board for an msi godlike one but the only thing im gonna lose there is money

[sinful cobalt]

also i somehow plugged out the cpu pin black connector thing out

[honest gulch]

What's the use for the pc?
Do you need wifi / Bluetooth?

[sinful cobalt]

luckily its just 1/2

[agile stag]

built in wifi is great to have

[sinful cobalt]

maybe i shld do the other- (jk)

[valid heron]

gaming, mobo i’m getting is wifi - gigabyte b650 eagle

[valid heron]

will also use it for other stuff, mainly gaming though.

example of this would be uni work

[honest gulch]

I'm just making a build
Do you need wifi / Bluetooth?

[valid heron]

yeah wifi

[rugged juniper]

I have the gigabyte Aorus elite AX Z690 it is great, built in wifi with a dual pronged antenna I stay hardwired. But, if I was forced to its antenna is really great for wifi with speeds in my case equal to the hardwired connection.

[valid heron]

preferably ddr5

ram too ^^

[valid heron]

this is the case i was looking at btw https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/fc88TW/montech-xr-atx-mid-tower-case-xr-b

divided between this or a 89£ fractal

[brazen glen]

what an awful suggestion

[valid heron]

??

[brazen glen]

Don’t buy a GPU right now in that price range

[hollow sorrel]

What do you recommend instead

Because that's... what my budget is

[valid heron]

7800xt @hollow sorrel

[brazen glen]

The new Radeon RX 9070 will be in about that neighborhood

[hollow sorrel]

That's what I was thinking actually

[hollow sorrel]

How new?

[brazen glen]

And at that point 7800xts will be cheaper

[brazen glen]

Comes out in two weeks

[hollow sorrel]

Oh then it'll be out by the time I've saved up the scratch for a new system

[brazen glen]

Will be about ~30% faster than a 7900 GRE for the same price

[hollow sorrel]

I only have a quarter of £1200 saved up so far

[brazen glen]

Yeah you’re good to keep saving and not stress about missing out

[valid heron]

what’d i’d reccomend- https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/GYfxFT/xfx-speedster-qick-319-core-radeon-rx-7800-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx-78tqickf9

same card but better aesthetics and cooling i believe- https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/rfV2FT/asrock-challenger-oc-radeon-rx-7800-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx7800xt-cl-16go

3 fan (1st one) cheaper by 40

[hollow sorrel]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/KD9pzP

This is the list I havee right now

[brazen glen]

I feel like the 7800xt will retail for like 400 next month easy

[valid heron]

it’s ugly asf tho

[valid heron]

swap 7600 to 7500f if ur comfortable with ali express

[hollow sorrel]

I actually kinda like it

[valid heron]

alright

[hollow sorrel]

I am not

[valid heron]

okay

that’s completely fine

[ionic sonnet]

I just switched to a desktop pc from a laptop, for some reason my ping in games has gotten so much higher to the point it is literally unplayable, does anyone know what I can try? (I'm using wifi I do not have a way to get Ethernet near me)

[hollow sorrel]

Play single player games, then ping doesn't matter /hj

[blissful gazelle]

I run my secondary off my iGPU it gave me better performance than on the dGPU

Look at that screen bruh 😂

[ionic sonnet]

Im not an npc mate

[hollow sorrel]

Wdym my guy

[ionic sonnet]

Single player games are good for abt 5 hours

[hollow sorrel]

Tell that to my 1400 hours in stardew valley and 1700 hours in skyrim

[valid heron]

@hollow sorrel for a couple extra u can get ur ram in rgb

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/2JLFf7/teamgroup-t-force-delta-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-ff3d532g6000hc30dc01

[hollow sorrel]

Ew

[ionic sonnet]

Might be the biggest drone statement I've seen in my life icl 🤣🤣🤣

[valid heron]

trust me it looks sexy

[hollow sorrel]

I do not like RGB at all

[valid heron]

team group makes some of the best rgb rams

[hollow sorrel]

They're good games my guy

[valid heron]

fair enough

[random gyro]

Whats the diff between assassin and spirit?

[hollow sorrel]

Cyberpunk 2077 is absolutely peak

[random gyro]

Nah it aint

[hollow sorrel]

It was not on release I grant you

But now, it's amazing

[valid heron]

spirit has one more heat pipe

[valid heron]

generally

[hollow sorrel]

Just... don't abbreviate it

[valid heron]

@random gyro

[random gyro]

I have it now and it's meh. The only thing it's good for is benchmarking GPU's

[valid heron]

wrong reply mb

[random gyro]

Right, so minimal difference really?

[hollow sorrel]

Fair enough but I really like it

Doing a shotgun build rn

[valid heron]

no it has better cooling

[honest gulch]

Than what

[valid heron]

it is slight increase

[indigo lintel]

HELP
I Installed Gigabyte RGB Fusion (i have a gigabyte z790 mb) and i just installed two rgb fans
Tho rgb fusion doesnt detect anything. help? IS a restart required?

[valid heron]

so you kinda are correct

i honestly prefer spirit more

[random gyro]

Tell u what, im done hating. If you enjoy it, im glad!

[valid heron]

personal preference

[valid heron]

hey you said you were making a list or something is that over?

[ionic sonnet]

For people that can't compete in online games, yes

[hollow sorrel]

Remove the RGB /j

[broken saffron]

can i use absolute ethanol to clean thermal paste

[indigo lintel]

huh

[random gyro]

I have the Assassin but am debating going to a liquid cooler cause my r9 5900x gets hot under load

[hollow sorrel]

The important thing with games is that you enjoy them

[valid heron]

don’t liquid cool

get an aio

[hollow sorrel]

If you enjoy online games that's valid but don't shit on people who enjoy single player games

[ionic sonnet]

Yh exactly so don't come force ur horrid singleplayer games onto me while im looking for a fix 🤯🤯🤯

[valid heron]

before u do tho have u replaced thermal paste

[hollow sorrel]

I'm joking. Are the fans gigabyte fans?

[indigo lintel]

No, corsair. But they are A-RGB

[hollow sorrel]

The tone tag indicated I was joking

[hollow sorrel]

you'll need the corsair software then I think

[indigo lintel]

icue?

[random gyro]

That's what i mean

[hollow sorrel]

I think that's the one

[indigo lintel]

They're non-icue tho

[valid heron]

so u want an aio?

[hollow sorrel]

Idk then

What are the fans

[random gyro]

Yeh, I ain't got the money for 1 atm tho

[rigid gyro]

IS a restart required?
Doesn't hurt to try

[jagged hazel]

I have a gigabyte motherboard never had any luck with the software that comes with it. I downloaded signal rgb and it picked up on it all

[valid heron]

before u do buy anything tho

[hollow sorrel]

This is another reason I don't use RGB

[valid heron]

replace the thermal paste on ur cpu

[indigo lintel]

apparently aura works

[valid heron]

clean out ur fans and case

then test performance

[jagged hazel]

Well whatever software you wanna use

[honest gulch]

Right
Budget was 900, right?

[random gyro]

Got a new case and fans, so no need to

[valid heron]

just remember to power off ur pc or ur stuff is gonna catch on fire

[valid heron]

yeah

[jagged hazel]

I just never had any luck with the built in across the 2 gigabyte motherboards I've had

[valid heron]

still change the thermal paste

[random gyro]

Bud, im not an amateur lmao

[valid heron]

i know

i’m suggesting

[random gyro]

I did a full rebuild yesterday

But the temps are dog water in the new case

[valid heron]

i see, thermal issues still present?

[valid heron]

to back to old case

[random gyro]

Nope

[valid heron]

are ur fans set right?

[honest gulch]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XKCgZc

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005008073148125.html

[random gyro]

Yes

[valid heron]

i’m so confused

[indigo lintel]

guess it doesnt matter, motehrboard is still motherboard?
'

[random gyro]

This isn't my first build dude. And the temps aren't dreadful, 75 under load.

Im not new to pc building

[valid heron]

thank you!

[random gyro]

Been doing it 4 years

[valid heron]

i know i’m just trying to eliminate every possibility

[valid heron]

dawg

you stated it

anyways

has everything else in the pc been updated

[random gyro]

It think its a circulation issue. I went from mesh front to glass panel front. And 1 less fan. Therefore, the heat from the gpu is causing everything else to heat up

[jagged hazel]

Yeah I just had luck with signal rgb

[honest gulch]

75 is completely fine

[jagged hazel]

I don't really like it but I haven't explored other options

[random gyro]

Not under load it runs anywhere between 52-58 but can hit 60 degrees. But under load its typically around 75, not seen it above 80.

[valid heron]

could i see a picture of the pc

[random gyro]

Its the not under load temps i don't like

[jagged hazel]

That's nice btw

Was the not underload with the side panels on?

[random gyro]

Yes

[jagged hazel]

Do you have a temp gun?

[valid heron]

looks nice

[random gyro]

Its literally a cooling problem. I even resat the heatsink

So i was thinking either 3 fans on the bottom or top, or an aio. Fans would be cheaper

[indigo lintel]

Alright, thanks for the help!

[valid heron]

bottom

[jagged hazel]

You are welcome happy to help

[random gyro]

I was debating whether to go for intake or not, im thinking 3 intake

[jagged hazel]

Because I've noticed my aio kicks out about 100 F air and my intake temp is like 80-90 F

[honest gulch]

I mean, nothing performance wise / longevity here is getting hurt

[jagged hazel]

What was your cpu?

[random gyro]

Im gonna find something like this But not lian li. I have some in mind I'll stick to the bottom

[random gyro]

5900x but undervolted

[honest gulch]

For that cpu, those idle temps are completely normal

You are trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist

[random gyro]

Nah, on my old case, it would idle between 45-53

[jagged hazel]

60 degree non load

[random gyro]

Now its 53-60

[jagged hazel]

Let me check my temp rq

And mine is like worse case scenario lol

My cpu temp is 50 C

[limpid ivy]

I got a 5900x but yea your temp not underload is the same as mines

[jagged hazel]

And the exhaust temp on my aio is 85 F

[plucky frost]

mine is at 60c now

[limpid ivy]

just with the deepcool ak500

[agile stag]

my cpus at like 44

[jagged hazel]

My gpu is 40

[valid heron]

whatever you think is right

[agile stag]

my gpus at 71 though mm

[valid heron]

it’s not something you have to fix

it may be bugging you yes but honestly it’s not too big of an issue

[random gyro]

If there's no reason for concern, then I'll save up for a new gpu. The 6750xt is good. Not great for what i do.

[valid heron]

isn’t too alarming

[jagged hazel]

It wouldn't alarm me

[valid heron]

6750xt is amazing yes

[agile stag]

grr my idle hit 47 for a sec

[honest gulch]

For a 5900x that's normal

[jagged hazel]

Especially your underload temps are fine

[random gyro]

I need an nvidia gpu

[jagged hazel]

Did you say new fans? New fans on the cooler too?

[honest gulch]

Rendering I'm guessing

[random gyro]

Or even intel

[somber void]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yQ8zpK
retro build (improved)

[random gyro]

Yeh, primarily video editing but I also do 3d modelling. Im in uni for film making. So amd isn't ideal

[jagged hazel]

Maybe your old ones were running quicker or moving more air

[agile stag]

is it for retro games or something

[jagged hazel]

Is that a possibility?

[random gyro]

I do just think it was a bigger case, had an extra 4 fans not 3 and mesh front

[honest gulch]

There are a good amount of video editing softwares where amd is better

In da Vinci 7900xtx = 4090

[random gyro]

Not the ones I use. I need to use davinci and avid for uni

[jagged hazel]

I have a infrared thermometer that I check temps with

[somber void]

2010s looking case so i decided i would call it that

[honest gulch]

Da Vinci is definitely one of the apps that prefers amd

[random gyro]

Avid works best on intel and nvidia, as for davinci, my gpu runs it horribly

[agile stag]

fair enough

[honest gulch]

Maybe you just need a stronger gpu

[agile stag]

you should get an authentic retro case off marketplace its more fun

[honest gulch]

That case is a sauna

[plucky frost]

pcpartpicker dosent have my psu or my case

[somber void]

is it really?

[random gyro]

Probably. But Nvidia would be ideal too as it feels like amd are kinda giving up a little. But Nvidia is over priced as fuck

lmao I can hear the poor HDD in my pc just chugging along

[rose stream]

What's the gpu you're using again?

[random gyro]

6750xt

[honest gulch]

That makes no sense
For da Vinci, amd is better

[random gyro]

I use AVID

[honest gulch]

Just look at it

[random gyro]

Avid Media Composer to edit, davinci for colour grading

[honest gulch]

Overall probably still Nvidia
Just saying that da Vinci definitely prefers amd

[rose stream]

Eeehhh with an asterisk.
AMD is better IF we're talking RDNA 3 (which also includes RDNA4 pretty much).

Anything before is either mediocre or will just not do well versus Nvidia and Intel.

[somber void]

its got a front mesh so it looks like you can mount a fan in the front

[random gyro]

why such an ugly case?

[somber void]

its not that bad

[random gyro]

yes it id

[somber void]

also this is just a build idea not something im actually gonna build

[rose stream]

It's... Just okay.

[random gyro]

why tf did u go for rgb ram?

[jagged hazel]

@random gyro your airflow looks ideal. if you are really worried about it you can adjust your fan curves at idle

[rose stream]

At least to me. Lol.

[frail topaz]

Steaming pile of shit, fire for a sleeper build tho

[jagged hazel]

but honestly im not even sure how much itd help tho

[dim patio]

the fact I barely talk in public chat 💀

[wispy thunder]

Not even sleeper tho

it's just ugly

[azure topaz]

yeah too new

[frail topaz]

throw a 5 and a quarter inch optical drive and one of these bad boys and you have a fire sleeper right there my friend

[wispy thunder]

You got a blue USB port up there

[honest gulch]

Oh wait that's a mesh?

[random gyro]

weird, my cpu is idling at 40-45 but has literally just jumped to 60 for no reason

[frail topaz]

Hey i think itd do nice fora sleeper

[wispy thunder]

It's not sleeper it just screams broke

[frail topaz]

why the fuck does that have a usb3

ohymgfod it does

nevermind then it just looks ass

[wispy thunder]

Yep

[jagged hazel]

because my intake is about 80F and aio exhaust is 87F so it can only move so much air for me. I can't really get it below 51 C

[frail topaz]

who even measures PC temps in Farenheit

[azure topaz]

idle temps mean nothing

[frail topaz]

fahrenheit*

[jagged hazel]

i mean im measuring it with a infrared thermometer

[frail topaz]

oh then sure

[jagged hazel]

mhm

[frail topaz]

i need a cooler for LGA2011-3 so bad

currently just have an AM2 cooler slapped on it with no mounting pressure and just some thermal paste

[jagged hazel]

because im basically comparing it to room temp

[azure topaz]

why

[jagged hazel]

because it's the temp of the air my pc is taking in and putting out

[frail topaz]

for a 120w chip its fine

let me cinebench it rq

[wispy thunder]

...???

[azure topaz]

you have real software to see how warm your computer is

[jagged hazel]

to see how warm the cpu and all is

[azure topaz]

open a program

[jagged hazel]

it doesnt tell me the temp of my intake and exhaust

[azure topaz]

hwinfo, sensors only

[frail topaz]

why tf do i have cinebench R15 lol

guess im running that

[azure topaz]

but it does tell you the exact cpu temp 😭

[wispy thunder]

A laptop at 90C drawing 100w will put out air "hotter" to a thermometer than a desktop at 50C drawing 300w. The desktop will warm the room faster than the laptop.

[rose stream]

I can't seem to find anything about AMD gpu compatibility and such with Avid for whatever reason, so I'm not really sure just what it is.

[frail topaz]

R15 doesnt stress it enough

under all core 100% load

pure broadwell power

[jagged hazel]

okay what im trying to say is sure my cpu is 52 C right? but I have my pc in a cabinent (open front and back leave me alone I don't have a choice right now) but I can check the temp of the aio air coming out and make sure it's not going back into the intake

[azure topaz]

106w is not a lot

[frail topaz]

i know i know, for a server cpu its even less, but this is broadwell

and id like to mount it into a CASE which i cant do because the cpu needs to be horizontal (since i dont have a cooler)

[azure topaz]

buy a 10$ cooler

[frail topaz]

for example

actually not bad ($39)

[somber void]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M6ssMC
better case

[frail topaz]

are you for the retro aesthetic or something

[somber void]

yeah

[thorn pewter]

from lek to usd how much

[frail topaz]

its in the message lol

[azure topaz]

what ILM style

[thorn pewter]

me cant see

[frail topaz]

fuck if i/this guy knows

[azure topaz]

why not just get one of the shitter 10$ ones

it’s 100w it’s not that crazy

[frail topaz]

there are none, for lga2011-3

[azure topaz]

like every shitty aliexpress cooler supports 2011-3 wdym

i’m looking at like 60

[thorn pewter]

i have the same hpz420 as the last 69 doller oc build

[frail topaz]

send link

[azure topaz]

bro search “x99 cooler” and filter by price

[frail topaz]

the idea is that i want it to be PWM

[thorn pewter]

yup, mostly cuz the 420 name in it

[azure topaz]

skill issue

my delivery is free over 10$

[frail topaz]

yeah no all of these seem to be coming from the same seller/factory

[gloomy sleet]

cant you get an x99 adapter bracket

[frail topaz]

i have one

[gloomy sleet]

use taht on any cooler

[frail topaz]

but i dont know what to use it with because its kinda dumb

[azure topaz]

assassin king 90 thermalright

supports x99, 25$ on amazon

[frail topaz]

there is no amazon here.

[azure topaz]

okay so find it elsewhere man

[frail topaz]

tried

[wispy thunder]

Never filter by price, just make sure it's a choice item and call it a day

[thorn pewter]

i paired it with the best overclockable cpu, the x79 e5 xeon 1680v2 and a Titan x pascal for the gpu overlocked too, and 48 gigs of ram, and 2 tb nvme ssd lol

[azure topaz]

filter by price and choice only

then buy the 2nd cheapest one that actually looks different from the 1st cheapest

[wispy thunder]

Filter by price on Ali is broken half the time

[azure topaz]

i think they’re fixing it cause it actually worked for me that time

and the ui changed again slightly

[wispy thunder]

just get one that doesn't look like garbage, if it's choice it'll match the picture

If it doesn't that's a free cooler for you

[thorn pewter]

i got it for 50 usd for the whole pc, but then i got the ram gpu and cpu for it, but all in all less than 300, plus it came with a 600 watt psu

plays the games i play and all the work that i do perfectly fine

[agile stag]

the 8g 580s are pretty fire

[thorn pewter]

thats like a good 1080p medium to hihgh card in general

[wispy thunder]

It's basically a 1060 6gb

[azure topaz]

low-medium

[agile stag]

its a good gpu

[wispy thunder]

Eh

Try to snipe a cheap 5700xt

[thorn pewter]

yeah yeah

[azure topaz]

if you have 50$ to spend on a gpu and can’t find a vega 56 or something better, sure

[wispy thunder]

Those things can be had really cheap and is faster than the 1080ti

[ionic sonnet]

I just switched to a desktop pc from a laptop, for some reason my ping in games has gotten so much higher to the point it is literally unplayable, does anyone know what I can try? (I'm using wifi I do not have a way to get Ethernet near me)

[azure topaz]

yeah

esp the ali ones

[thorn pewter]

why not vega 64

[azure topaz]

buy a better wifi card for your desktop

[wispy thunder]

Vega 56 is around a 1070 iirc, Vega 64 is a 1080 non ti

[azure topaz]

flagship, you won’t find them for dirt cheap like you do 56’s

[oblique terrace]

Oh man I lucked out today. 3 Ewaste PCs and Dell Windows reinstall disks for $20

RD Ram

[azure topaz]

v56 is able to be flashed to 64 (won’t unlock cores) but does boost performance up quite a bit

[ionic sonnet]

Can I show u rq which one I have? It doesn't seem bad

[azure topaz]

closer to a 1080 than 1070

[azure topaz]

it doesn’t seem bad but is giving you worse ping….

[wispy thunder]

Slightly worse than 1070ti though iirc?

[azure topaz]

i mean sure but that’s probably it lol

that or the antennas but either way

[azure topaz]

or your wifi sucking 💀

[thorn pewter]

flash and under volt

[ionic sonnet]

Wifi here has never been amazing, but it's never been this bad

[azure topaz]

and you have the proper drivers?

probably. it’s wifi. windows is good about that

[ionic sonnet]

I'd assume so I tried to update them in my device manager thing

[azure topaz]

i am not sure myself of the ax3000’s quality as a network card but it doesn’t look terrible, maybe try a different style of antenna

[abstract wigeon]

did anyone else get nitro for a week free from discord?

im not complaining but nobody else i know got it

[ionic sonnet]

should be ts yh?

[azure topaz]

just go on asus’s site for the AX3000

then support

[ionic sonnet]

let me go look, when i installed drivers yesterday i was on intels site, could that have been the problem?

[azure topaz]

then the windows 11:10 drivers

[azure topaz]

probably not but we can try it before you have to spend money of sorts

[blazing quiver]

hello, i just wanted to ask a question, my gpu doesnt even get 300 fps, its the 5600 xt, but my friends pc which has a 1660 super gets up to 800 fps looking up in creative. whats going on

[indigo lintel]

so i installed singalrgb
what the heck do i do now -.-
Im so confused by all these settings

[azure topaz]

ram or cpu or other limiting factor in your computer

different settings, fps caps, etc

[blazing quiver]

my cpu is the r7 3800, his is r5 5600x

[azure topaz]

his is faster

[blazing quiver]

is that the whole reason why then

on technical city it says mine is like %5 faster/better

[azure topaz]

probably not but part of it

[azure topaz]

well, technical city or whatever tf is wrong

3800 can only use 4 cores in games, the 5600x can use all 6 and they’re faster to start with

and you probably have different ram, etc

fortnite is a very temperamental game that changes drastically at minor variables because it runs at such a high frame rate

[blazing quiver]

can i not change that at all

[azure topaz]

no

[blazing quiver]

wait i got 8 cores tho why are they being limited

[azure topaz]

i’m not explaining the inside of your cpu past this so pay attention closely:

[iron terrace]

Ok guys i need help, upgraded from 5600x to 5700x3d on asus tuf gaming b550m plus and now im stuck in bios, windows asked me about tpm and i clicked Y, now pc keeps getting into bios and i cant get out

[ionic sonnet]

@azure topaz it was already installed, reinstalled it now

[thorn pewter]

not all games utilize these cores

[azure topaz]

your cpu has 2 halves that communicate to eachother through another chip

[limber nacelle]

well 4 without crossing CCDs

[azure topaz]

these 2 halves for you have 4 cores each

[limber nacelle]

it could probably use both but the cross CCD latency will just be :^)

4+4 is so cursed though

[azure topaz]

to prevent games from running bad, they limit themselves to 1 half of the cpu because when you talk to both sides it introduces performance loss

[limber nacelle]

oh wait they straight up just limit it?

💀

[azure topaz]

well i mean you can tell the game to do what you want but

[limber nacelle]

ah

[blazing quiver]

the 5600x has only 6 cores

[azure topaz]

generally the game sticks on 1 ccd/x

[blazing quiver]

i got more cores but using half of them

[limber nacelle]

6 on one CCD

[azure topaz]

but all of those 6 cores can talk to eachother effectively without performance loss

[limber nacelle]

yes because they're split between two CCDs

[azure topaz]

there are games that won’t buy the exception not the rule

the scheduler tried it’s damndest to keep things on 1 half of the CPU if it can

[limber nacelle]

as it should

🙏

[azure topaz]

so yeah, probably just a lot of variables combining to make this huge loss

fix?

faster ram,
faster cpu
better settings
custom tuning and probably more

[iron terrace]

Where can i see bootable devices in bios?

[plucky frost]

depends on brand, on mine its a boot menu on the right

maybe F8 for boot menu

[iron terrace]

It says system cant find any bootable devices?

[azure topaz]

okay, did it change anything? restart any time you install a driver (literally any driver)

[plucky frost]

that happend to me after i switched motherboard and i had to reinstall windows

[iron terrace]

😱

[plucky frost]

idk maybe clear cmos

[iron terrace]

How do i do that

Just remove battery and put in agaib?

[azure topaz]

yes

[plucky frost]

yes but leave it out for a minute or three

[azure topaz]

make sure the computer is fully off and unplugged before hand

[plucky frost]

yes that too

[iron terrace]

Aight imma google to see if theres other solutions b4 but i'll try that also

[azure topaz]

then pop the battery out, press the power button a couple times, then put the battery back in

[azure topaz]

saves you 5 minutes by draining all the power from the board

[plucky frost]

yes

[iron terrace]

Aight tyy

[plucky frost]

you can empty the capacitors by pushing the powerbutton

[polar thicket]

does anybody know if these two paired together could power a raspberry pi pico

https://thepihut.com/products/solar-power-management-module-for-6v-24v-solar-panel

https://thepihut.com/products/2w-solar-panel-80mm-x-180mm

[azure topaz]

then plug it back in and blah blah should be reset

[polar thicket]

very confused on solar powering a pico

[indigo lintel]

Trying out SignalRGB and im trying to get a rainbow spiral thing going for my fans. They're A-rgb, so i just gotta run off the motherboards default motehrboard strip controller. How do i get it to do the rainbow spin thing i want? Found myself spiral rainbow profile

[plucky frost]

what the heck, it says that its expected to be ready for shipping 7th january 2027?!

[ionic sonnet]

Nope, it's also started kicking me off the wifi all the time, saying some things have changed since the last time I connected

[azure topaz]

try undoing and redoing the antennas

thats insane

[hollow jungle]

But it’s cheap to live in America though

[lone ginkgo]

how u gonna pay rent if you're only making $11 an hour lol

[hollow jungle]

Rent is like $200 a month

[azure topaz]

depends on where you live like with everywhere else

[hollow jungle]

True

[azure topaz]

WHAT.

[hollow jungle]

Just move to like Tennessee

[lone ginkgo]

rent is not $200 a month weirdo maybe back in like the 70s

[azure topaz]

bro what are they telling you over there

[odd marsh]

if you live in the middle of nowhere sure lol

[plucky frost]

wtf

[azure topaz]

if rent is 200$ a month you definitely don’t live anywhere civilized

[hollow jungle]

You’re a weirdo for calling me a weirdo, weirdo

[hollow jungle]

Damn, that’s harsh

[odd marsh]

it is true lol

[azure topaz]

it’s true 💀

I'd go for 30-series at this point

[odd marsh]

? that is not a good enough reason to completley change my life and move somewhere else lol

[tidal geyser]

how much is it like 100$?

130

[plucky frost]

is tuf gaming rx 7900 xt better than lets say gigabyte? or like is there a difference between brands?

[odd marsh]

lol I wish, GPU prices are crazy rn

[tidal geyser]

not for me if i try hard enough

[worthy comet]

I'm trying to sell it because I upgraded a while ago

[tidal geyser]

Okay I need some help, I'm getting a Rivatuner statistics direct3d9 components cannot be hooked error

[tidal geyser]

restart the pc

[dark bronze]

Already did several times

[tidal geyser]

if its for cs2 you need to disable some stuff

[tidal geyser]

fyi you start it before the game

[dark bronze]

No it's whenever I open the Riva application

I can't even access teh Overlay editor

[tidal geyser]

do you have any background capture software like medal or steel sires gg

[dark bronze]

I just closed steel series

[jagged hazel]

sure

[dark bronze]

I'm getting a filed to initialise Direct3D whenever I try to open the Overlay editor

[tidal geyser]

is afterburner also open

what gpu do you have

[dark bronze]

RTX 4070S

[tidal geyser]

latest drivers?

ever used a different gpu in the pc?

[dark bronze]

572.47 and yes it fails on my AMD GPU as well

[tidal geyser]

knew it, did you do a ddu?

[true stirrup]

I would do what sim said and reinstall afterburner

[dark bronze]

DDU?

[tidal geyser]

KNEW IT

when you switch gpus you NEED to ddu

[random gyro]

would the 12900k be fine to pair with the 4080 super??

[true stirrup]

Nostradamus Sim

[true stirrup]

Yes

[random gyro]

or would i lose an absurd amount of performance?

[tidal geyser]

you can do a 5090 too

[random gyro]

hm

[tidal geyser]

maybe

[dark bronze]

Well my NVIDIA GPU is connected to an EGPU so it's not really that I switched

[tidal geyser]

what do you have now

[random gyro]

3090

[dark bronze]

But I'll try it anyway

[random gyro]

i got it for super cheap from my bestie

[pearl notch]

who's waiting for monster hunter wilds?

[tidal geyser]

welp it might be due to a nightmare setup since riva tuner is not really made for egpu setups

[dark bronze]

But it also was working a few days ago

[tidal geyser]

thats a decent enough gpu, so you have a 12900k and 3090 how much memory and what games do you play and what resolution

[tidal geyser]

before or after a driver update

[dim patio]

is this a good monitor for this pc

[tidal geyser]

there can be so many factors here

[abstract wigeon]

does facebook marketplace have no money back when you scammed? wierd they just rolled with it when they got scammed on the type of gpu they ordered

[iron terrace]

Cleared cmos, didnt help, when running from legacy mode csm it shows m2 normally but i get to 1st pic after booting the m2, any ideas what to do?

[tidal geyser]

if you pay with a offical facebook service but i do not think they have any

[true stirrup]

Nope there is no protection

[abstract wigeon]

damn that sucks

[tidal geyser]

windows is in MBR

[true stirrup]

You should pay over PayPal invoice

[random gyro]

i have the neo g9 but im swapping to the rog swift, i dont know what resolution the swift is but the neo g9 is 5120x1440 currently, i also have ddr5 5600mhz 32gb, i generaly play games ranging from like gta v, fortnite, high demanding games tbh

[abstract wigeon]

i always use eBay anyways 🤷‍♂️

[tidal geyser]

MBR=CSM on only

MBR no worke without CSM

[random gyro]

i wna use rtx or just get a major fps boost

[iron terrace]

No idea what u mean bro those are new words to me

[tidal geyser]

windows reinstall time

[iron terrace]

Really

No workarounds?

[tidal geyser]

you have a RTX gpu?

[tidal geyser]

not really anything you should bother with

[random gyro]

yes

[iron terrace]

So its windows reinstall time aye?

[random gyro]

rtx 3090

[iron terrace]

Clean install, no way to save files?

[tidal geyser]

so you are using RTX?

its what you have in the pc already

[random gyro]

this is what i play or have installed

[tidal geyser]

anything you really need to save

[random gyro]

yes but i am thinking of getting the 4080

[tidal geyser]

are you not already getting around 120 fps in most games?

[tidal geyser]

well rtx 5000 is out

[left dove]

im sorry theres a framework DESKTOP now??

[tidal geyser]

is it worth it EHHH

[abstract wigeon]

are we recommending rtx 5000 now

[tidal geyser]

for a few days now

[tidal geyser]

well considering rtx 4080 prices

[true stirrup]

Elden ring 🗿

[iron terrace]

Not rly just loads of games mods n saves, wondering if theres way to reinstall windows without losing those

[tidal geyser]

trying to get a 5080 at msrp will be miles better

[random gyro]

yes but i want more since i have a 240hz monitor

[abstract wigeon]

imo theres no 'ehhh' at the moment, if/when prices get to msrp then i would consider it 'ehhh'

[mellow shadow]

Why don’t Corsair shift PSUs show up in PCPP or am I just dumb?

[tidal geyser]

how much do you plan on spending on the gpu?

[abstract wigeon]

oh god yeah what happened with 4080 and 4090's man

[carmine vortex]

i've noticed that on default settings in gigabyte control center it will sometimes disable your pump at startup causing the system to overheat and crash. I have it plugged into system 3 because that's as far as the wire could reach and I don't have any extensions at the moment. msi aio so the pump is in the radiator.

[random gyro]

im trading for it technically

[abstract wigeon]

just stay with the 3090 graphic cards fell off after that

[tidal geyser]

wut

[random gyro]

im trading my 3090 and some other stuff for it

[tidal geyser]

have you seen the 3090 prices?

[true stirrup]

Just use fan control instead

[jagged hazel]

I like it

[left dove]

im lazy, can someone link me pls

[jagged hazel]

also hey aunt pey pey lol

[left dove]

[abstract wigeon]

https://frame.work/gb/en/desktop

[carmine vortex]

it should be fixed now that the pump is set to always run at 100% but it's weird that it was completely turning it off.

[plain cypress]

Do you live under a rock

[tidal geyser]

yes

[left dove]

god that feels weird coming from y'all

[jagged hazel]

https://frame.work/desktop

[plain cypress]

It's been all the rage for the last day or so

[left dove]

I don't really keep up with new releases anymore

[jagged hazel]

i'm not the old one

[tidal geyser]

ubiquity also launched some new gateways

[jagged hazel]

gatways

[plain cypress]

Is it not normal to visit videocardz.com 50 times a day?

Am I the weird one?

[tidal geyser]

lil screen and a few 2.5 rj45 ports

[random gyro]
