[tidal geyser]

looks like i got 200$ more for the pc

[worthy vault]

Going to take some time

[tidal geyser]

god i feel awful but its nice to eat and mess around with networking and server stuff

[clear canyon]

how dare you swear against it 😠

[tidal geyser]

swear against what

i know its strictly business but like dam

eh still fun it semi sold same day i listed it

[clear canyon]

[ripe spire]

um

@tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

nice

[clear canyon]

102c, spicy

[ripe spire]

am i cooked

[frail topaz]

funny

[ripe spire]

is that a bad hot spot

[tidal geyser]

nope

[hexed tapir]

Under volt it

[clear canyon]

yep

[ripe spire]

im just messing with some oc settings for my gpu

[tidal geyser]

i have showed you my hot spot

110c is mine

[ripe spire]

decided to run furmark

[clear canyon]

ouch

[tidal geyser]

unless i -10% the power limit it will be 110c hot spot limited before power

still 105c tho

[clear canyon]

redo thermal paste

[vale saddle]

i finished my build im thinking of overthinking the gpu with msi afterburner

[clear canyon]

looks like prebuilt pc

[ripe spire]

currently on these settings

[plush wren]

cod4 too

[hexed tapir]

Nice a dedicated kitchen pc

[vale saddle]

hes actually right tho

[tidal geyser]

did 2 times

[ripe spire]

i got this @tidal geyser r u proud

[tidal geyser]

well furmark is not a benchmarking thingy

3D mark is the one you wanna use

[ripe spire]

Furmark isn’t “bad” tho is it?

[hexed tapir]

But did you do it correctly both times?

[tidal geyser]

GOD DAM i love the phanteks xt/ ultra

[tidal geyser]

first time nope 2nd time yus

i really do not want to take it apart AGAIN

[clear canyon]

skill issue

[vale saddle]

sim I finally finished the pc u actually helped me alot with the issues i had lol

[tidal geyser]

if i am doing it again it will be with PTM

[ripe spire]

HOLY SHIT

[clear canyon]

looks great

[tidal geyser]

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

[ripe spire]

I'm ngetting closer to about 200fps in fh5 max settings whereas i usually get abt 170-180

[tidal geyser]

nice

[vale saddle]

Thanks it looks so much better than the previous case and other stuff

[ripe spire]

Shit is SCREAMING tho

[left dove]

oh hey its my old pfp

[hexed tapir]

How much ram?

[vale saddle]

32gb

[hexed tapir]

... Did you buy 4x8gb kit?

[clear canyon]

you think that is loud? you should hear my ai server XD

[hexed tapir]

Or did you buy dummy ram

[onyx lake]

i’m kinda outta the loop for new cpus. what would you pair with a 7900xtx / 9070 xt for 1440p? I don’t do anything besides gaming and web browsing

[ripe spire]

u guys r seeing this right? this is max setting fh5, thats over 200fps man, HOLY SHIT

[vale saddle]

yes

[tidal geyser]

O NO

[hexed tapir]

[vale saddle]

Well not really

[tidal geyser]

wait this was am4 right?

[vale saddle]

yes

[azure topaz]

if its any ddr4 platform, 4 dimm is fine

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/woah-phew-relieved-wipe-sweat-alan-ritchson-gif-16464054

[azure topaz]

it literally does not matter on ddr4

[tidal geyser]

fhew

ddr5 and 4 sticks on consumer platforms is no good

[azure topaz]

yea

[fickle ivy]

Attempting boot to windows, its an hdd so it might take a while

[tidal geyser]

oof

hdd and boot drive does not mix

[clear canyon]

@ripe spire

[tidal geyser]

what motherboard

[clear canyon]

this is back when I first put it togather @ripe spire

[ripe spire]

Holy SHIT

I’m resetting the oc rn back to default, don’t wanna push it too hard for too long

[vale saddle]

i didn’t change the ram also whats bad about having all 4 slots filled?

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[ripe spire]

Fans no longer sound like my pc is gonna take off

[fickle ivy]

These fans look fucking great for $10 cad each

[clear canyon]

This is it now

[tidal geyser]

HDD boot drives went out of fashion like 15 years ago

[ripe spire]

Sim do u think there’s any fucking around hardware wise with my pc I could do to get EVERYTHING inside it to consistently run cooler

[tidal geyser]

front fans go faster

thats it

[fickle ivy]

Boot to windows first try, no tutorial

[tidal geyser]

or put the pc outside

[ripe spire]

When I was running furmark, I saw the gpu hit a peak power draw of 458W

[tidal geyser]

xd

[ripe spire]

That’s fucking crazy

I’m so glad I got that 850W psu

Rather than the temporary 750W one I had bc my original 850W one was broken for unknown reasons

[vale saddle]

Next time i upgrade the psu has to be changed im on 750w is just barely enough for my system

[tidal geyser]

what cpu and gpu was it

fake floppa incoming

[plush wren]

Floppah

[forest lotus]

So far antiseize might work as thermal paste

[plush wren]

antifreeze

[forest lotus]

Imma dry test it with no power and see how it spreads first off then test with power

[left dove]

it looks like a lichtenburg figure

[tawdry nest]

How much do you guys think I could sell my PC for if I wanted to build a new one? It's got an i9 12900k, 3090 EVGA ftw3, 64gb 3200mhz ram, a bunch of fans, 011 dynamic XL case, 850w PSU, custom cables, 360aio. Id probably keep the storage except for a 512gb SSD, and also the BT and 10g card I would keep.

[forest lotus]

But. Hmmm

How well is this as thermal paste.

Imma find out

[clear canyon]

bruh

[stuck depot]

i don't think this is normal for my cpus idle temp

[solid osprey]

we have no clue what country your from so we cant tell

[clear canyon]

what is your cpu cooler

[tawdry nest]

MB I'm in the us

[solid osprey]

no clue im not in the us

[stuck depot]

stock amd cooler

on turbo preset

[clear canyon]

thats why, stock amd cooler is ass

[tawdry nest]

Do you know of a site that could maybe help me estimate the value?

[stuck depot]

nah i think i have to clean the cooler itself because i have a bit of dust on it

[stuck depot]

before it was idling at 30 to 40c

[clear canyon]

no, its just an ass cooler

[solid osprey]

not really, i think micro centre do in store valuations but they will be atleast $100 or $200, maybe more below what its really worth

[stuck depot]

i disagree honestly because my temps before were always chill on my cpu

the cpu is so warm that the chipset is also hotter than usual

[clear canyon]

well you are wrong, i have 2 stock coolers, and it always runs hot on my 3600, and 5600x

its an ass cooler

[stuck depot]

i have an r5 1600af

[clear canyon]

the only time it runs cool is right after it turns on

[clear canyon]

ouch

[stuck depot]

before i had a r3 2200g but i got this cpu for free from a friend so i don't mind it

[hard isle]

Okay so should I get the ryzen 7 5700 or the ryzen 5 8400f for gaming?

[stuck depot]

which is better?

[hard isle]

I've got a 6650xt so idk, currently on a xeon but the mobo is dying😂

[stuck depot]

rip capacitors ig

[wheat field]

Would taking freelance work to build a website count as breaching a non-compete clause?

[clear canyon]

dont go ryzen 8000, go 7000 or 9000

[stuck depot]

i had to change 3 caps on my asus prime b450m k2 motherboard

[wheat field]

I assume yes?

[hard isle]

Thing is 7000 is way more expensive and out of my budget atm haha

[clear canyon]

save up, ryzen 8000 has very low pcie lanes

its only 40 bucks

[hard isle]

I'm in the UK and the prices here are shocking, plus in some places it's like a 80-100 difference

What about a 14400f?

[clear canyon]

damn, but I do highly recommend saving up

[clear canyon]

no, stay away from intel

very unstable and hard to cool

[wheat field]

You have cex stores in the UK?

Go into them, see what they have. Not bad prices on decent hardware

[hard isle]

That's a whole other story😂

[clear canyon]

amd is the superior choice currently, they have simular or better peformance for far less power draw and are much easier to cool and offer a future path for upgrading as intel kills off their socket every 1-4 cpu generations

[hard isle]

That was my worry and why I wasn't considering intel at the start. I've got an e5-1650 v3 atm in my rig and whilst it does good the motherboard is on its way out. My plan with that is to get a cheapo Chinese motherboard and run it as a nas

[vale saddle]

4080s white gigabyte is 940 on cex not bad

[wheat field]

yarp

[hard isle]

Just need something to replace my main rig

[fringe prairie]

7500F on aliex

should be under 130

[hard isle]

Is aliexpress decent for processors though? I know.the x99 reps are decent but not had much from.the processor route

[fringe prairie]

yes assuming you order from a reputable seller

[supple gull]

What is this massive misinformation

14400f is 65 watt

was never affected by the instability either really

[supple gull]

I got a $107 14400f from Aliexpress last week

but am5 is more future proof

in case you plan to upgrade

[hard isle]

The prices are roughly the same on ali express as normal uk sellers for intel cpus

[solid osprey]

[plush wren]

[solid osprey]

thats with like 50% cpu utilisation

[supple gull]

Then Ryzen 5 8400f?

70 pounds on aliexpress

[solid osprey]

icl thats on u

[plush wren]

nuh uh

[solid osprey]

what have u got one

[plush wren]

what

[solid osprey]

open

[solid osprey]

on ur pc

[solid osprey]

yeha your finished

[solid osprey]

im at 35c with 60 firefox tabs and 12 other apps open

[fickle ivy]

Just built my first pc

[solid osprey]

w

[supple gull]

what gpu n cpu?

[fickle ivy]

Intel i5 12500t rtx 3070

[outer marlin]

linbus tec tip

[supple gull]

amazing

I keep forgetting 13500 exists

[plush wren]

1.2k€ for a 5070 ti worth it!!

[solid osprey]

damn

when you think about it this worlds finished

1200 on gpus now

gpus used to be like 500 euro

[plush wren]

theres no way im ever paying that much thx

[solid osprey]

and they take more power

[plush wren]

well any time soon

[solid osprey]

and electricity rates rising

[plush wren]

Generate your own electricity

[solid osprey]

chernobyl in my back garden

[plush wren]

why not

[solid osprey]

because it wont go well if its coal or nuclear

[plush wren]

have you tried it?

[solid osprey]

solar is extremely inefficient

[solid osprey]

not a single place in the uk will allow a house to have a windmill installed stretching 25m

[plush wren]

hmmmm

[outer marlin]

beans and toast

[solid osprey]

my garden does not have a river or sea going down it for hydroelectric

[plush wren]

Invent a new source

[solid osprey]

i dont see how you will generate electricity

[outer marlin]

pedal a bike

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1244166768273002527/1332435019481874583/caption.gif

[solid osprey]

water is possible but then you get silenced

[solid osprey]

yeah so i can power just the ram sticks in my pc

[outer marlin]

yesp

[solid osprey]

[plush wren]

ok but what stops us from pedals pedalling themselves

[solid osprey]

you could just use ur phone

reverse wireless charging

yk my phones always stealing charge from my computer

[plush wren]

[solid osprey]

about time it starts giving charge

[plush wren]

what if we just like

[outer marlin]

plug extension cord into your neighbors outlets

[plush wren]

and then we

[solid osprey]

finally a good idea

[plush wren]

basically thats it

[forest lotus]

It's gonna begin.

[solid osprey]

bro

[plush wren]

Shot on OnePls

[solid osprey]

why have you put thermal paste before putting cpu in mobo

[plush wren]

😭

a better question, why not?

[outer marlin]

chips and dip

[solid osprey]

because its wrong

[forest lotus]

As the "thermal paste" is very very electrically conductive. And I need to use it very sparingly

[plush wren]

No

i didnt know thermal paste was electrically conductive

[outer marlin]

its not

[forest lotus]

This is what I'm using goof s

[outer marlin]

unless its liquid metal but thats metal not a paste

[plush wren]

[frigid shore]

Most thermal paste is not electrically conductive, however some of the super high end stuff is.

[plush wren]

i dotn see why you would want that

[tidal geyser]

Thermal paste can be electricly conducitve

[mellow cairn]

I mean, You can easily power a household entirely from solar on the roof.....

[forest lotus]

Its metal antiseize it's been done before and preforms very well if done right

[outer marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/the-greatest-technician-that-s-ever-lived-technology-tech-meme-gif-277608402450587269

[plush wren]

For a small price of €80000

[frigid shore]

electrically conductive thermal paste performs better than electrically nonconductive, but of course you have to be more careful.

[mellow cairn]

nope. In Australia, solar is far more common and cheaper.

[forest lotus]

Due to the high content of copper, aluminum and graphite.

[plush wren]

it was a bit exaggerated but how big is the roof

[mellow cairn]

normal size roof. It's proportionate

[plush wren]

my house is like 52m^2 dear

[mellow cairn]

Of course - this is for australia, YMMV in other locations.

[outer marlin]

can i drop linus like he dropped the expensive hdds

[neon ocean]

Quick q, any tips on what to do when AMD Adrenaline refuses to open up, even after a factory reset GPU driver update?

[mellow cairn]

have you tried turning it off and on again?

[neon ocean]

Yup. That's part of the factory reset bit as I figured it needs an update anyways

[ripe spire]

Restart PC

[outer marlin]

get a nvidia card

[cosmic stratus]

omfg bro the g305 has HORRIBLE GRIP

[plush wren]

claw

[cosmic stratus]

I keep accidentally lifting the fucking mouse

[plush wren]

😭

[cosmic stratus]

to stop my fingers from slipping

this shit is ridiculous

[plush wren]

seems like a user issue

[outer marlin]

yeah ngl

[plush wren]

[outer marlin]

just go to the hand store and get these

[plush wren]

grippers

[cosmic stratus]

nope my othe moust doesnt have this issue bc it has a wide base and doesn't sides that go inward causing my fingers to slip well doing a beat map and lifting the damm mouse on accident just enough to skip

[plush wren]

personally never had this issue with the g305

[cosmic stratus]

I need to buy some modifications, this mouse still has like zero drift and I love it

[cosmic stratus]

you play osu?

for regular fps shooting its a none issue

[plush wren]

nope i did try it prob with the mouse but im not at a higher level

[cosmic stratus]

this mouse works perfect when my fingers havnt slipped to the bottom

[neon ocean]

Sighs Guess it takes two restarts + factory reset install to get a basic GPU app to work. 😓

[ripe spire]

Don’t complain abt something u bought, should’ve done FUCKING RESEARCH

[plush wren]

so aggressive for what

[cosmic stratus]

I never knew this could be an issue so womp womp

anyways imma proceed to just buy grips, they're 8$

[ripe spire]

It’s an ick for me when ppl buy shit and then complain abt it bc they didn’t do research pre-buying it

[plush wren]

Ok but they bought it not you

[cosmic stratus]

for the record I havnt seen anyone complain about it

[ripe spire]

It’s a person complaining abt such an avoidable issue tho, it’s just funny to me

Like why r u complaining when ur the one who woke up one day and spent ur own hard earned dollars on something ur not happy with

[plush wren]

So is it funny or an ick

[ripe spire]

It’s both atp

[plush wren]

[candid jewel]

hey guys my minecraft is running on my intgraded gpu instead of my rtx 4070 super how do i change that

[cosmic stratus]

but I didnt see it comming

[gilded sparrow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BCMRnp this is my pc but im not using that case im using a sama s40

parts are all already ordered

[ripe spire]

Hold on, let me go out and buy something without doing research into it, oh no! It’s bad, I wonder why, maybe bc I barely have a clue what I bought, it happens to so many ppl and it just pmo

[plush wren]

Dear many people dont do research when buying stuff

[somber mason]

My pc's mouse started lagging, entire rest of the system was fine i could alt tab into windows but one tab was not responding. Pc played like morse code through the headset??? am i being hacked or wtf

[plush wren]

For example your parents (most likely)

[cosmic stratus]

I did tho.. a lot of it back when I was looking for a mouse with a cheaper budget, I just couldnt buy it at the time

[gilded sparrow]

i researched and had people peer edit building and configuring my list

[ripe spire]

It sucks, imagine how many better products there are out there that ppl could’ve bought

[plush wren]

many videos recommend the g305 as well lol

[ripe spire]

The biggest one for me is ppl who complain abt stick drift when there’s literally Hall effect joysticks out there

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-peabody-hypnotize-gif-18017563854157472082

[ripe spire]

And TMR joysticks

[gilded sparrow]

MOM

[plush wren]

i bought the g305 because people recommended it

[gilded sparrow]

HELP

[plush wren]

[cosmic stratus]

this argument is both right but wrong and I cant put my finger on it

[gilded sparrow]

but seriously is there anything like super wrong with my buid i should know so i can return

[ripe spire]

Maybe I do have ADHD bc I just mass research shit so whenever I need to buy something ik what the absolute best one is, every few ppl have any clue what the actual fuck my controller is, but I vouch it’s the best controller I’ve ever used, and I imagine the only one better will be its successor which isn’t even out yet

[cosmic stratus]

I also have adhd

[plush wren]

i research stuff too

[plush wren]

silly emoji

[tidal geyser]

They thought i had ADD then just went nope

[gilded sparrow]

as somebody who suffers from adhd this is something i would definitely go test off of

[tidal geyser]

I do have dyslexia tho

[cosmic stratus]

infact the mouse was a impulse buy lmfaoo.. a proper mouse is something I have needed for while so when I had like 43$ left to spend I deicide to just buy it lmao

[gilded sparrow]

YO sAmE

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1222666666308010124/1312920197069406248/attachment.gif

[cosmic stratus]

especially given what I have heard about the mouse in the past already

[gilded sparrow]

i use g502 but wired because latency

[cosmic stratus]

I should get that, it has a proper base

but its wired

[plush wren]

fuck wired mice

[verbal prawn]

I am worried I have ADD but I will not get myself tested for it because if I do it I can't get a medical for flying

[cosmic stratus]

I really didnt wanna deal with the wear and tear of a wire..

[verbal prawn]

which is probably not a good idea but...

[gilded sparrow]

but i have no clue what the latency is like is wired compared to wireless now i just went off prior knowledge i was fine with either

[gilded sparrow]

woah man

[tidal geyser]

Wut

[plush wren]

hey

[tidal geyser]

You are not going to wear out a wired mouse, the main reason to go wireless is less drag and weight and also you know not having to deal with a wire

[ripe spire]

A lot of my time is spent watching reviews or researching stuff

[gilded sparrow]

Not nearly as much as an issue than u think if ur wire breaks before your mouse thats a owner taking care of their stuff issue

[tidal geyser]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/532914296502353930/1333352803317317673/attachment.gif

thats you

[ripe spire]

Rly 😭

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-eating-soup-gif-25773991

[gilded sparrow]

yes if u feel like u suffer go get a test

worst case ur right best case ur wrong

[plush wren]

guys what is even adhd about, genuine question

[ripe spire]

I might get tested when I’m 18 or something, currently as I’m still technically a minor at the big ol age of 17, I’ve floated the idea of me having adhd to my parents and they both just kinda said, nah if you did, it would’ve been noticed by us or ur teachers at school, u don’t have it and all that general yap

[plush wren]

[tidal geyser]

In my eyes it's like being on special powder while

[plush wren]

Discord is not a search engine message incoming

[tidal geyser]

The white nose candy

[ripe spire]

The only time I consider myself to “suffer” bc of it is education wise or if I have to sit down for a long time and “lock in”, everything else I’m perfectly fine and enjoy the what must be a constant hunt for dopamine or something idek

[gilded sparrow]

I mean i agree with both parties u could just be hyper obbsessive doesn't mean u have adhd doesn't mean u don't but sometimes its not noticable

[ripe spire]

https://tenor.com/view/you-can-google-it-gill-engvid-you-can-search-for-it-online-you-can-browse-for-it-on-the-web-gif-10409511348401384306

[gilded sparrow]

its more like when you try to focus on one task u notice every small detail of everything around u

[ripe spire]

Yeah I agree but it sometimes sucks that they say no when there is a possibility

[plush wren]

😭 just did

[tidal geyser]

I know someone who I unfortunately went to school and such with and they were insurable as they just lack any and all control some times, my little sister also had ahdh and yeah no she does nothing but sit in her room and watch youtube all day

[plush wren]

peak brainrot development (possibly)

[ripe spire]

It’s so bad, I pick up on spelling mistakes, when my teacher has an error on their power points, when someone says something wrong, I’m debating going into audit bc I’m so picky on small stuff like that

[gilded sparrow]

think of it like this when u walk in the hallway and u see or hear something even small u focus on it somethings different ur focused think of it like focusing on so many things that u can't focus

[gilded sparrow]

possibly ocd

[plush wren]

i think that may be normal

[forest lotus]

So anti cease works as thermal paste lfg

[gilded sparrow]

fits that

[tidal geyser]

Totally not me

[plush wren]

i had that too but it went away kinda

[tidal geyser]

But might be more the dyslexia

[ripe spire]

My mum keeps thinking I have ocd and jokingly asks me when I’m gonna get tested for it

[tidal geyser]

When people use some1 or some shit like can't spell one sentence right it makes my brain hurt

[gilded sparrow]

but i also have autism and works hand and hand with my adhd so i can't be as accurate

https://youtu.be/5l2RIOhDXvU?si=-AH3n45Wer_MqePa

[ripe spire]

To the point tho where my favourite teacher now looks out for spelling mistakes more and if she sees them she’s go “(my name) before you point it out that’s supposed to say (something else)”

[gilded sparrow]

heres a great video

[plush wren]

i think i understand

i dont think i could bear with that 😭

[gilded sparrow]

evry day buddy

[ripe spire]

Doesn’t necessarily make my brain hurt, just makes me consider their intelligence and what led them to making that error

[gilded sparrow]

im gonna let yal in on a secret

Who here knows a adhd friend who acts like a zombie

[ripe spire]

I can also be very hyper over discord and msg a lot, so much so that I end up typing rly fast, even on phone and can sometimes exceed the slow mode on some servers

[gilded sparrow]

slow sad and overly calm?

[tidal geyser]

For me that's not a sometimes

[plain cypress]

If your friend is murdering people and eating their brains you should report this to the appropriate authorities

[tidal geyser]

That's always

Like just now I did it again

[gilded sparrow]

that wasn't meant to be a joke but thanks lol

[plain cypress]

Joke?

[gilded sparrow]

alot and i mean alot of adhd medicine causes depressional thoughts i actually decided to get off my meds when i started getting ending life thoughta

[plush wren]

I summoned bro 😭

[gilded sparrow]

and ive been happier ever since

[ripe spire]

Only when I can be bothered, I’m not always 100% focused on discord

[ripe spire]

Oh shi

[tidal geyser]

I can be focused on so many things at the same time

[ripe spire]

What do meds do aside from that

[ripe spire]

I just put ALLL my focus into one thing most of the time

[plain cypress]

Your username has ball in it

I remember playing that like 5-8 ish years ago

[outer marlin]

BALL istic

[unkempt timber]

I dont understand, on this motherboard if I populate the first two NVMe slots, the PCIe for the gpu will run at full speed, but if I use the other two it will reduce the speed of the GPU connetor?

[tidal geyser]

Or at least something like it

[plain cypress]

Ball-s---

[tidal geyser]

Proshop spotted

[unkempt timber]

Yeah

[tidal geyser]

Read the motherboard manual

Also why such a high end board?

We have a 5 year right of complaint here, so if something breaks after 4y 364 days u can still get it warrantied. U can even put a waterblock on the card and it'd still be valid unless they can prove your doing is the reason it's broken. This is standard for 99.99% of electronics and does not require payment or anything.

hi
uhh i forgot how to update bios ik u need to have to use a usb with rufus or smtn but does anyone khow the site for dell bios?

[dusky crest]

Oh my fucking hell

[dusky crest]

Hmm

99% does not need Rufus just download the bios and put it on the stick then go bios update

[dusky crest]

Oh shit, that's neat
I would just have guessed modding shit makes warranty go void

[sharp ivy]

I don't have much experience with Xeon. You should prolly ask someone else sorry

[dusky crest]

That's a lot of blue gpus
Are they rx 580s by any chance?

[cosmic stratus]

I came up with a solution and added weights... this thing is PERFECT NOW

[mellow cairn]

indeed - but an average house - in australia where I am - can be comfortably powered entirely from solar (assuming it had batteries). Now - there are exceptions when the weather has extended unsuitable times, but most people are also grid attached. But we actually have a problem here now during the day with OVERSUPPLY of solar power

[cosmic stratus]

dont worry im putting glass skakes later

[fickle ivy]

And my pc just randomly restarted itself

[random gyro]

Yes I have more in my shed, maybe 60 total or so, paid $8 per gpu

otherwise get a 7700, the 7700x and 9700x are not worth it, maybe a 7900 if you’re doong work

[chilly sage]

7900x if usd

[onyx lake]

a 7700 is only 170 bucks so prob go with that

9700x is barely better like 3-10% depending on the workload

[junior valve]

my whole peripherals setup cost 80$

i only need 6 cores for what i do, the 7900x has 8, and i dont need some fake e-core

yeah this keyboard was cheap, but then I spent over double the cost of it modifying it to be "silent"

[night skiff]

im whatching im in the middle

[cosmic stratus]

wait is there a wireless g502???

[junior valve]

my g305 was 25$ renewed

[steel umbra]

loyality, marketing

[mellow cairn]

[junior valve]

wired new g502 is 28$

[steel umbra]

what is it then

[mellow cairn]

Availability, product knowledge.

[chilly sage]

i just dont have a use for a handheld if the majority of my time ill be at home

[cosmic stratus]

remember I cant do wired unfortunately. I need my mouse to be more portable

[mellow cairn]

I use my phone with a gamesir controller and moonlight on the couch

[junior valve]

my ll120 is doing the time warp effect on camera

[mellow cairn]

I have ..uhhh... 5 current mice and a spare

[steel umbra]

i mean yeah, some people don’t want to wait 10 days until their mice arrives, idk what you mean by product knowledge you mean loyality?

[cosmic stratus]

damm g502 light speed is 89$💀 thats GPU money right there... im broke so I would rather put that towards a arc a310 bc I do need an encoder

[chilly sage]

with the games i play 512mb of vram would be overkill

[steel umbra]

or component-wise inside the mouses

[mellow cairn]

No, I mean they know the product. logitech has been around for many years and the products have long lifetimes and are well marketed and publicised

[junior valve]

you can buy like a pack of rgb fans for that

which is more important

[chilly sage]

tbh im just a pc ricer

[tidal geyser]

Pc ricer

[steel umbra]

i mean other brands too, their lifetimes are average just as with other major gaming brands

[cosmic stratus]

well my pc already has 3 106cfm blowymatron fans..

[cosmic stratus]

gah damm

oh

I have 3 mice two of them are budget trash mouse

g305 is my first legit good mouse

[junior valve]

g502 and g102

[cosmic stratus]

nice

[steel umbra]

g305 was the last logitech mouse i didn’t dislike for being overpriced

[junior valve]

300$ should be put into rgb fans

[steel umbra]

nowadays even egg shell styled mouse market is full of better options

[mellow cairn]

but how much time did you spend researching mice

I can buy an MX Master 3S mouse, and I know it will be excellent. I don't have to think.

[steel umbra]

a lot, don’t ask me 😅

[mellow cairn]

They are excellent quality.

[chilly sage]

To prove my point here's the PC I built yesterday,

[mellow cairn]

that's my point though, the average person doesn't care that much

[steel umbra]

i mean yeah if you never had anything better i agree their mices are alright

[mellow cairn]

You're arguing about minor nuances

[chilly sage]

it hangs on the wall like a painting

[mellow cairn]

an MX Master 3S does everything you ever need to do as a business mouse.

[steel umbra]

yes, better is in this instance subjective but most people want lighter mouse, better skates, better coating

[mellow cairn]

no, they don't

[fickle ivy]

I just was swapping the ram sticks on my pc cuz I was getting s dram error, but now I have no error but no display putput

[sharp ivy]

Huh

[mellow cairn]

MOST people use garbage tier mice

[tidal geyser]

[steel umbra]

they don’t until they don’t find out, that’s why peripherals can be a rabbithole for many

[frosty lynx]

Pretty sure USB / wireless mice use CPU resources but PS2 do t

[mellow cairn]

wrong

[frosty lynx]

ZTT made a video about this

[tidal geyser]

Ram channel b is dead

[steel umbra]

good enough is very subjective when it comes to mices

[frosty lynx]

Lemme find the link

[junior valve]

barebone rams too

[mellow cairn]

indeed, but you care a LOT more than most enthusiasts, so imagine how little fucks the average person gives

[steel umbra]

someone may consider your mx master good enough, someone may call it garbage

[chilly sage]

as long as it for a old trackball mouse if not there's not a purpose unless you still need more usb ports on your back io

[mellow cairn]

... anyone who thinks an MX Master is garbage is objectively a huge poser who has problems.

[steel umbra]

what’s wrong with wanting a higher stand though?

logitech is just overpriced

[mellow cairn]

I didn't say that, I said that most people don't.

[sharp ivy]

I use it cause it's got excellent tracking, a DPI button, no batteries and it's good for reacting quickly

[fickle ivy]

Was working fine earlier

[frosty lynx]

I found the video, have no idea if this will work https://youtube.com/shorts/1Jj3PsSqfbI?si=NtnyfXds2WpwnRHA

[steel umbra]

unless you’re into their ecosystem i just don’t get it, i do consider brand loyality but like… why?

[mellow cairn]

logitech are priced for their position in the market and their brand reliability.

It's not brand loyalty.

[ionic robin]

guys on the topic of this, for some reason like when playing games if I press too many keys at once it does not register all, how do I increase this limit, assuming it is a limit within the system

[sharp ivy]

I do believe it is a hardware thing

[brave vigil]

hey chat, could someone possibly help me with my ethernet port on my mobo not working? Ive tried reinstalling drivers, checking bios, etc, but no avail... The cable works, I plugged it into another device and it works so im a bit clueless here

[ionic robin]

damn so it is limited by keyboard

💔💔💔

[sharp ivy]

Yeah

[ionic robin]

https://tenor.com/view/jover-gif-16964140724042266462

[frosty lynx]

Lowkey check the ports and clean them maybe

[mellow cairn]

..... he's right about XOC using it, but he's entirely wrong about why

[sharp ivy]

Maybe ask someone else as well

[mellow cairn]

standard ZTT garbage

[brave vigil]

the ports are very clean

[frosty lynx]

Any bent pins or disconnected wires in the Ethernet head?

[brave vigil]

nope

[mellow cairn]

get a better keyboard with N key rollover

[brave vigil]

here ill take a picture

[ionic robin]

wym

[frosty lynx]

You got any free x8 PCIE slots? Network card could solve that

[steel umbra]

yup, but why not cover more people with higher standards, it’s not just about mouses most people don’t need the high end chip in their phones, but if you can get it for the price of a mid range why not?

[mellow cairn]

also it's hilarious because he's not actually old enough to have been there 😄 - I was.

[mellow cairn]

people. don't. care.

[brave vigil]

yeahh i do, i just really wanted my motherboard to work

[steel umbra]

it’s subjectibe…

[frosty lynx]

Opinions on windows 2000

[sharp ivy]

You don't seem very nice

[frosty lynx]

WAIT, what OS are you using?

[mellow cairn]

No, it isn't. "I don't like MX Master mice" is subjective.

[mellow cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/skeletor-not-nice-gif-13392625

[brave vigil]

Win 11

[ionic robin]

WHY TF use PS2 keyboard for a little boost on performance when it is basically inferior in every other way compared to USB

[steel umbra]

yes, that’s also why logitech isn’t stepping up their lineups much people continue to buy their mice and that’s it

[mellow cairn]

eh, perfectly cromulent at the time.

[sharp ivy]

That explains a lot

[brave vigil]

i routed this ethernet cable through the damn wall just for it to not work 😭

[sharp ivy]

Good

[frosty lynx]

Because I need every last drop of performance from my tinny ass 6300FX

[mellow cairn]

yes, they are predictable and reliable - that's literally what most people want.

[steel umbra]

yes, but mx master being good is also subjective

[sharp ivy]

Win 10 is still my fave

[quick stag]

Guys what do y'all think of my home assistant setup?

[steel umbra]

mx master isn’t special nowadays

[frosty lynx]

Win 7 is good, not saying it’s better than 10 but still

[steel umbra]

it’s just okay

[mellow cairn]

It really isn't, it's objectively a good business mouse that provides features and ergonomics that suit many people.

[ionic robin]

holy shit how old is that

[frosty lynx]

2012

[steel umbra]

consider other models from different brands

[frosty lynx]

I have that and an RX 560

[mellow cairn]

... I'm not saying it's better or worse than anything.

[frosty lynx]

Life is good

[mellow cairn]

You aren't getting the core concept

[ionic robin]

BRO I have a i7 2600k and I AIN'T THAT DESPERATE

[ionic robin]

wah wah

[frosty lynx]

I’ve had the same computer for 9 years. Still boots from HDD in under a minute

[sharp ivy]

Yeah but a 2600k is quite powerful

[brave vigil]

the controller shows up

[ionic robin]

I HAVE A GTX 1050

[frosty lynx]

Well I’m poor so

[ionic robin]

bro I am too

BUT I DON'T BITCH ABOUT IT

damn bro trust me

[sharp ivy]

I have a ASUS 1060 6GB in my $299 Cad system

[frosty lynx]

You have a GPU with 4 digits, I have one with 3, we are not the same

[sharp ivy]

I understand

[steel umbra]

i don’t accept good enough as a totally valid argument, we criticise nvidia for not being good enough while logitech does the same thing. yes they’re peripherals but again competition is “though” in the peripheral market due to them generally being cheap to produce compared to let’s say cpus, which also weird because we criticise brands such as nvidia, amd, intel for often not being good enough, most people also don’t care about nvidia being just 10% faster gen to gen

[mellow cairn]

I'm not defending it, I'm explaining it to you.

[ionic robin]

you are NOT in the trenches

[frosty lynx]

Holy shit we’re still on logikek

[ionic robin]

picture unrelated to chat

[mellow cairn]

mice are what is considered a mature market - they are a solved problem. There isn't a lot of change.

[frosty lynx]

this is my PSU

[cyan latch]

did the device connect disconnect sound change
it sounds trash

[ionic robin]

wattage?

[frosty lynx]

500

[sharp ivy]

I have a picture of my desk

[steel umbra]

i agree with your points, but i’m also explaining that logitech not stepping up their peripheral game due to them being good enough is not… healthy for the market, consumers
logitech does not have the best mouses tbh there are still areas to improve

[ionic robin]

uhh and what is TDP for cpu-gpu

[mellow cairn]

nobody is saying they are the best

[frosty lynx]

Is this a bad daily driver

[sharp ivy]

It's cool

[frosty lynx]

What is tdp 😭

[mellow cairn]

So, good enough isn't.......... good enough?

[steel umbra]

well, then i don’t get your point you’re trying to explain sorry

[ionic robin]

"what is tdp" 💔💔💔

[sharp ivy]

Like max power

[mellow cairn]

They are reliable. People know what they are getting.

[frosty lynx]

OH

[sharp ivy]

How much power something takes. also can be used in cooling

[frosty lynx]

I have no fucking clue what its real max is but I’ve seen it draw 125+ running BEAMNG on medium

[sharp ivy]

So like a 45w cooler can cool a 15w cpu

[steel umbra]

i mean other brands are too, this is really just brand loyalty (mb for misspelling it before)

[sharp ivy]

Yaay beam appeciation

[frosty lynx]

It has a 50w cooler

[night skiff]

https://youtu.be/IDX0l5kaYsc?si=Hm3z-AHcYQiDpu06

[night skiff]

so no one knows what the problem is

crazy

[sharp ivy]

Epic

[night skiff]

is this normal?

[sharp ivy]

That's a really cool pc

[sharp ivy]

!!!!!

[frosty lynx]

Oh no

[sharp ivy]

AMAZING

[ionic robin]

holy shit

archaic structure

[frosty lynx]

What did I do wrong

[sharp ivy]

I want

[frosty lynx]

We making out of windows Server 2009 with this one

Chat died

[sharp ivy]

That's for real a really cool build.

[frosty lynx]

Really?

[sharp ivy]

Yes

I feel like no one thinks stuff like that is cool anymore

[sharp ivy]

Honestly. I'm not just saying it to be nice

[frosty lynx]

Actual in depth tour

It won’t even load for me

[sharp ivy]

Nope

Not loading for me either

[frosty lynx]

Eh it’s fine

[sharp ivy]

Wait did you see my floor PC

Built for $20CAD

@frosty lynx ?

anyways, people buy logitech due to their popularity (of which sponsorshipping is a big chunk of that), loyalty or past experiences that have been “good enough” with logitech, which does not mean they’re the best at making peripherals.

[frail delta]

I could not give a shit how popular logitech is, most of their products are great

[mellow cairn]

.... nobody, ever, said they were the best at making peripherals. That is something you made up

[steel umbra]

they’re great because most people don’t look much elsewhere, even when considering availability

that’s what the popularity point is

when you google for a mice logitech is one of the first

their peripherals are not bad.

[fresh nest]

is 90° for a 9700x at 160W okay when running cinebench?

[south arrow]

Logitech made some interesting xbox accesories, thats about all i recall

[sharp ivy]

I like my logitechs. If I'm not using my aliexpress mouse then my blue logitech is my go to

[steel umbra]

well, then why are their peripherals good nowadays?

[mellow cairn]

huh? "good" vs "best" - what are you asking

[gilded sparrow]

i bought a gt 1030

[frail delta]

I have multiple MX Master 3/Ss
What other mouse would you recommend that's of better quality, has two scroll wheels and multi-device connectivity?

[steel umbra]

sec

[mellow cairn]

nope, too long, I don't care.

[steel umbra]

well, what do you define by “good”
