[fickle ivy]

Please help

[forest lotus]

People have done 1kw on this card or more

Or run dual gpu.

Iirc this card in a dual gpu config can beat singular 4090s but the 5090 overtook it

[sinful cobalt]

Here I am unable to get MSI afterburner to play nice with the 5070ti performance bios

[forest lotus]

I bought my OCF cus I like the funny card. Also the raster pref per dollar was pretty good

[whole garden]

L opera

[forest lotus]

It's sad asrock only makes the OCF when they see a chance to compete for top spot

They are such elegant cards imo

Not too flashy but got some style

[solid crown]

please let it rest

[forest lotus]

It yearns for the power lol.(I'm running it at 400w rn and it's basically sleeping it's way thru games lol)

[fickle ivy]

i cant be the only one who always has task manager open right?

[solid crown]

yup, youre the only one

[broken saffron]

guys one of the screws in my laptops heatsink is stripped, so after i remove it is it fine if i dont put a screw back?

[solid crown]

even if I did want to use it if gets very inaccurate after a while

[forest lotus]

I mean it doesn't care at all about going up to like 480w

It's only pushing 500w it gets dicy

[solid crown]

I did that on one of my laptops and it never cooled correctly again

[broken saffron]

just one screw?

[solid crown]

yeah

is it a screw in each corner or?

[dusky crest]

Guys, new asus logo got leaked

[forest lotus]

I also want to see if I can stay on am4 longer

[dusky crest]

I'm still on fm2+

[forest lotus]

I'm not done with my experiments and I don't wanna change platforms

I'm trying to get 5ghz on ambient on basically all Vermeer processors

Or ryzen 5k for that matter

Including Cezanne

So far I've gotten two 5600s to 5ghz a 5800x and a 5500

The 5500 was the most difficult out of them all

[broken saffron]

its the one i marked green, sorry for the bad image i took it off google

[solid crown]

yeah thats probably not good

[broken saffron]

okay so i need a replacement then

[solid crown]

yes or if its its not too stripped you can try screwing it back in

[broken saffron]

no its really stripped i cant even get it out

[solid crown]

lol niceee

[broken saffron]

ill super glue it then take it off

[forest lotus]

I hate Phillips screws fr

[broken saffron]

@solid crown how do i find which screws to buy online

[forest lotus]

Could just find what size machine screw it is

And get it at your local hardware store

[fickle ivy]

wtf why does the spotify web player suck so much ass

[forest lotus]

Make sure it's the right length and thread

[broken saffron]

yeah idk how to measure the size of screws

[forest lotus]

Just take it with you to a hardware store and see if you can find one that matches

[solid crown]

might not be that easy

my old laptop had preloaded screws with springs

[fickle ivy]

i will try and play a song and it will say "Spotify cant play this right now" then skip through half my playlist and play some random song for 10 seconds before it stops working

[solid crown]

I guess a regular screw would still work

[fickle ivy]

actual worse experience ive had with a companys website

[forest lotus]

That's the spring from the other put it on the new scree as long as it's the same length

[solid crown]

apple music bro

[broken saffron]

i cant go to one cuz i live in dorms ill have to order online

[solid crown]

true

[fickle ivy]

i am NOT using apple music

[solid crown]

spotify sucks ass

[forest lotus]

I might be able to gauge what size machine screw it is if you can show me a picture

[solid crown]

did you expect more from the ltt discord

[forest lotus]

I'm actually dead serious. I can look at something and have a rough estimate of what size screw fits there.

[solid crown]

weird flex but ok

<@&750150305383186585> bro sending racist shit check the deleted posts

[sinful cobalt]

Im a yt music user, 2 in 1 lmao

[broken saffron]

alr ill send it when i take them out. btw can i use supreglue to remove the stripped screw

i dont wanna drill

[solid crown]

mods asleep go wild ig

[forest lotus]

Could work. Try using a flat headed screw driver first

[broken saffron]

yep didnt work

[sinful cobalt]

💀

[solid crown]

MODS WAKE UP

[sinful cobalt]

ok this is too far

[forest lotus]

<@&750150305383186585>

[left dove]

the fuck is happening lmao

[broken saffron]

wtf bruh

[outer marlin]

What happened

[forest lotus]

Fastest ban I've seen from me pinging mod

[outer marlin]

I’m so confused

[solid crown]

took a while tbh

[sinful cobalt]

racism and nsfw

[sullen obsidian]

20seconds

[outer marlin]

Ahh

[solid crown]

they need more mods on here

[left dove]

"took a while" dude its midnight

[sullen obsidian]

is not a long time, chill out

[forest lotus]

Pretty good time tbh

[solid crown]

no not blaming you haha

I guess on other servers mods are half the activity so theyre always in chat already

[sullen obsidian]

yeah the mod team here has a life outside of discord

[solid crown]

how dare you!!!

[arctic kettle]

Cherenkov radiation type beat

[broken saffron]

@forest lotus can i just use thin pliers or something

[solid crown]

desperation has set in

[broken saffron]

????

[solid crown]

True desperation is known, only when escape is impossible.

[broken saffron]

wy do people get high and come on discord

[solid crown]

The sin is not in being outmatched - but failing to recognize it.

[fickle ivy]

i caved and downloaded the spotify app

1440p 27" looks so much better then 1080p 24"

[solid crown]

it sure does

[fickle ivy]

my computer is almost silent when idle

maybe i can tweak the fan curves or smth

[solid crown]

thats usually how they are lol

I have an air purifier running though so thats louder than the PC anyway

[forest lotus]

Part of me likes silence part of me wants performance

[dusky crest]

If i make mine throttle enough, it'll be silent too

[forest lotus]

My parts do not enable both

[fickle ivy]

this is a million times better

[forest lotus]

They be old. But they can sure perform if they get loud

[fickle ivy]

i have an aio on a 75w cpu lmao

[solid crown]

if only there was a way to reduce your gpu power down from 480w... hmmm

[forest lotus]

I can run it at 375w but it doesn't clock as high

Or really even 330w

[fickle ivy]

ive got 1 stock case fan, 2 p12s on my aio, and 3 random thermalright fans

[solid crown]

a 9070 would seem like a good purchase for you lol

[forest lotus]

Possibly.

[dusky crest]

I have old amd stock cooler on 65w cpu lmao
Even wose, i modded the fan so it's pwm but 5v by twitch and tape-ing on a usb cable

[forest lotus]

Tho i can't justify it

[solid crown]

hoping the xfx swift is msrp and available at microcenter

[forest lotus]

I have no real need for more frames then I already get

[dusky crest]

Honestly made no sound difference

[forest lotus]

I'm keeping my monitor usually fed

And that's 1440p 165hz

Anywhere between 140-160 I'm happy with

[solid crown]

fair enough but also youre running it with a crazy OC

[dusky crest]

My monitor is uhh 1440x900 75hz
I have 2 of them
They are from 2007
And i obtained them for free last year

[forest lotus]

That's simply to see how it scores. As well as some of my games running smaa 4x hurt

[dusky crest]

Maybe in 2023 tho, idk

[forest lotus]

Aka warthunder menu hurts most with smaa

[solid crown]

unless youre poor thats ewaste

[dusky crest]

Yes

[forest lotus]

4x 1440p res for anti aliasing simply to make my pixel jets look better

[solid crown]

worth

[fickle ivy]

lets see how much fps i get in war thunder

[forest lotus]

Still get like 130fps in battle and 90-100fps in menu

[fresh escarp]

im only with 1x 1440p@165hz, then 1x1080p@75hz(oc), 1x4K@60hz

[forest lotus]

Maxed settings on Vulkan

[dusky crest]

Altho honestly they are just perfect for text based operating systems
Or as side monitors
Cuz like they are 19 inch

[fickle ivy]

i think my drivers just installed cuz my screen went black for a second

[ripe spire]

I want this to be me

[solid crown]

yeah pretty sure I used those at my job

[dusky crest]

Well i had a 1080p panel from 2014 but long story short it cracked

[fickle ivy]

hoping for 60fps 1440p ultra

[dusky crest]

Acer a1916w or something along the lines of that

[forest lotus]

And I like rdna2. Idk. Haveing stable drivers is nice

I don't get driver issues lmao

And if I do. It's usually related to OC instability

And that's an easy fix

[solid crown]

yeah I mean if you arent playing newer games at higher settings then there isnt a point to upgrade

[forest lotus]

Newest game I play. Ehhhhh. Uhh.

Might be cyberpunk?

[hearty kraken]

Guys if have an asus tuf b360-m e-gaming , and i have 3 nzxt f120 fans, if i order an nzxt rgb hub 2022 . Will it connect?

[solid crown]

I pretty much need the 9070xt to play modern games at high settings on a 1440p ultrawide

[forest lotus]

And I already stopped playing it after 200hrs

[solid crown]

200h is a good amount for a singleplayer story game though

[forest lotus]

I gotta think. Uhhhhh. Ready or not runs fine on my 6900XT

[turbid shore]

I've got a question. Ryzen 5 3500U, or i5 1135G7 (bear in mind I can push higher clocks and TDP on the 3500U) and I can swap out the motherboard with a 5000 ryzen series processor

[forest lotus]

Satisfactory runs fine.

[dusky crest]

Basically this what happened to my 1080p panel...
It fell
With one of my tiny shitty monitors
Both survived first fall, second fall had 1 fatality
And only because it landed on a piece of wood

[forest lotus]

I really gotta think

[hearty kraken]

Guys if have an asus tuf b360-m e-gaming , and i have 3 nzxt f120 fans, if i order an nzxt rgb hub 2022 . Will it connect?

[solid crown]

can you get a mobo that supports the 3500U and 5000 series? if so, go with the 3500U

[forest lotus]

I think dirt 2 is the only game that kinda struggles a bit at 1440p max but that's cause it's not the greatest for optimization

[dusky crest]

Guys

[solid crown]

not a bg3 enjoyer I see

[turbid shore]

Its a laptop, essentially I can swap out the motherboard anytime I want with a Ryzen 7 5865U Pro (they share the same chassis and battery + peripherals)

[solid crown]

oh

[dusky crest]

I brought my ventoy usb to school
It has hirens boot cd on it
And we gon be using school computers in English lesson
I'm about to gain admin perms holy shit

[solid crown]

just go desktop bro

[forest lotus]

I kinda stick to games I grew up around the only game that semi struggles is heavily modded Minecraft

[turbid shore]

That's not possible

Anyhow, 11th gen i5 or r5 3500u

[forest lotus]

What specific 11th gen i5

[turbid shore]

I5 1135G7

Bear in mind I can swap out the motherboard in the ryzen 5 3500U for a AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5865U

[solid crown]

can you get a new laptop

[tidal geyser]

4 core i5, yay

Better then my 13th gen 2 core i5

[forest lotus]

I mean tbh for a lightweight work laptop a 4 core 8 thread processor is plenty

[solid crown]

why dont you just do that, thats clearly the obvious answer

[tidal geyser]

Tbf that's p cores not counting e cores

[forest lotus]

It is 11th gen so no ecores yet

[fresh escarp]

Got that 5060 on ma desk bout to run tetris on 2k res

[turbid shore]

well there's a problem. The i5 has 2 ram slots whereas the ryzen has 8gb soldered and one ram slot available. Additionally HDMI 1.4b vs 2.0

[tidal geyser]

Does the hdmi matter to you?

The 1.4b can do 4k

[solid crown]

I mean you can still upgrade that ram though right

[turbid shore]

I want a 120Hz display which the 1.4b can do at 1080p

[solid crown]

either way that laptop is only gonna be used for writing essays and video consumption

[turbid shore]

.....

[tidal geyser]

Well you need to be able to run it

As in the gpu horse power for it

[solid crown]

you said that 8gb was soldered and one ram slot open

[tidal geyser]

I think you should be able to put a 32GB in it

[turbid shore]

Yeah max ram is 40gb for ryzen and 64 for i5

[fickle ivy]

120fps max settings 1440p, think i can do 4k 60?

[forest lotus]

Iirc that soldered 8GB does take up a channel so if you go over 8gb ram useage it does have to do it with a single channel

[tidal geyser]

Both laptops are not strong enough to be able to use that much ram before the cpu ain't enough

[solid crown]

nope

[turbid shore]

I play minecraft, dayZ and doom 2016 so not a problem

[fickle ivy]

by max i mena, every slider cranked to the maximum

[tidal geyser]

Well both laptops are gonna be utter crappie in 3D games that are not minecraft

[turbid shore]

Its flex channel though. Over 16gb ram would be used as single channel

[fickle ivy]

no dlss

[solid crown]

so why isnt a desktop possible

just use the laptop at school then a desktop at home

[forest lotus]

Yeah exactly sorry I messed up the number

[tidal geyser]

Or parsec

[solid crown]

lol

[fickle ivy]

what about ray tracing?

[turbid shore]

I gamed on UHD 620 at 720p60 for DayZ I think it can manage over 100

[solid crown]

eh maybe at 1440p lower RT settings

[turbid shore]

I'm not a school boy and neither do I have the money for a desktop

[solid crown]

but you have the money to upgrade the laptop motherboard?

a thing like that isnt gonna be exactly cheap

[turbid shore]

Okay, now you're purposefully trying to piss me off

[solid crown]

im not

unless you meant you already have 3 different motherboards for a laptop

if so, why...

[turbid shore]

Your reading comprehension skills are sub par if you can't determine that I listed out an upgrade path not an upgrade I would instantly do

[solid crown]

this entire "upgrade path" is gonna be more expensive than a desktop lol

probably gonna cost like $200 in total bro

[turbid shore]

First off stop with the desktop

And secondly, no

Not every place is America and neither does everyone have the money to blow or have a usecase for a desktop

[forest lotus]

I mean I use a sandy bridge i7 as my daily work laptop

[solid crown]

a desktop is cheaper than a laptop bro

[turbid shore]

[forest lotus]

4 cores 8 threads of pure Beef

[neat flame]

not really

[forest lotus]

It's not easily portable

[turbid shore]

Ah I used a i7 3740QM back with the T430

[solid crown]

yes but you have the $30 laptop for that

[mellow cairn]

This is not true for all cases

[forest lotus]

Im running a rugged Dell latitude

I forget what model

[solid crown]

well in this case bro wants to like upgrade his motherboard in his laptop, then change out the CPU in the laptop or some crap

[cyan shadow]

Hi all

SVM - enabled or disabled

[forest lotus]

It was cheap that I got it for reading spare parts as they still go for tons on eBay no matter what parts they have

[neat flame]

bro what

[mellow cairn]

I mean, that is a terrible idea

[neat oxide]

whats a good, cheap mouse thats wired, my current one is starting to go to shit, with it sometimes double clicking, and other times not clicking

[turbid shore]

Neat, so do you recommend the r5 3500u or the i5 then ?

[forest lotus]

I say the i5

[turbid shore]

Dude no, he's waffling, read above

[solid crown]

yeah idk either man he said I had bad reading comprehension so ig I dont know what hes trying to do

[forest lotus]

It's better then the 3500u and no need to upgrade path it

[turbid shore]

Thanks

[forest lotus]

I also used to daily a pentium b940

[solid crown]

I have a $30 chromebook it does everything I need

cant run video over 1440p but eh whos watching videos at school

[forest lotus]

I have the uhh. Basically $800 USD rugged laptop

[mellow cairn]

I used to daily a Pentium 133.

[forest lotus]

And it's not a modern one

[solid crown]

so the CAT phone of laptops?

[forest lotus]

It's just expensive

[forest lotus]

Probably bullet resistant to like .22LR

Pulled straight from a cop car. It's no fast laptop but it survived being a mechanic's laptop in the shop.

[solid crown]

I assume that was still using an HDD?

[forest lotus]

Ofc all software was wiped and I'm running SATA ssd's and 32gb ddr3

[solid crown]

oh damn

my elderly dad is still running a laptop from like 2009 or something

windows 7, HDD, slow as all hell

[forest lotus]

I mean any modern laptop would beat my tank in everything but basically being fully life proof

Fall off the toolbox. It's fine. Wile other laptops would be fucked

[solid crown]

maybe not the chromebook

that thing is crazy slow

[forest lotus]

I honestly like old laptops over new ones

Just something about being actively able to repair it is nice

[solid crown]

oh yeah the chromebook has a celeron n3050

[forest lotus]

I did get the laptop for trading a old GPU tho so

:D

[solid crown]

so uhh whyd you get this laptop in the first place

im seeing a similar pattern of stuff you do resulting in asking "why" lol

[forest lotus]

Biggest reason.

It can survive a fall of 5-6feet

Other reason. Who doesn't want a rugged laptop?

[solid crown]

are you particularly clumsy?

[forest lotus]

I'm a mechanic so it's possible things get knocked over occasionally or get hit by something so it's just nice to have peace of mind

[solid crown]

ahh gotcha

yeah that makes sense

question for the mechanic, the heatshields for my exhaust fell off and are rattling on it, is there any issue with taking them off

[forest lotus]

Not really unless there's really anything that's able to be melted near them. I'd probably see to seeing if you can properly reattach them first before outright removing them.

[solar stirrup]

i want a 4k 240hz oled monitor. where do i look?

[forest lotus]

There is also some like heat insulating tape that we sometimes use that can help in place of proper heat shielding but I don't use it much so proceed at your own risk.

[solid crown]

alright sounds good

im probably gonna take them off anyway I can cause I dont have anyway to lift the car up very high

I guess I could buy some ramps

[forest lotus]

Good ol' 2 ton jack and stands usually does it

[solid crown]

yeah nah idk my jack doesnt go very high

I can only get one rung on my jack stands

[forest lotus]

Ahhh damn

[solid crown]

would be helpful if there was a flat surface anywhere around me lol

[forest lotus]

Once I get a place of my own I'm making sure I have a hoist.

I hate working on the ground.

[solid crown]

hoist as in like a car lift?

[forest lotus]

Yes

[abstract wigeon]

dumb profile pic

[solid crown]

cause if I have the money, id totally do that too just to do the oil changes (so much for saving money on them by doing it myself I guess)

[solid crown]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

[rigid fjord]

if any one is getting an msi laptop, this is what they class them under

[forest lotus]

You can do oil changes with a jack just ain't as convenient as just lifing the damn car up

[solid crown]

yeah I do them with the jack, its such a PITA

I got that oil adapter thing that you can switch and itll pour the oil out without having to unscrew it

[forest lotus]

Oooh. I've seen those occasionally

[solid crown]

ive seen people saying it would open randomlly and kill the car but im risking it lol

im not really going offroading or anything in a corolla

[forest lotus]

If your smart it should be okay. Make sure you have it protected and I doubt it would open.

[drowsy flame]

$350 for an EVGA 3080 ftw3 on marketplace that I have to drive an hour and 20 minutes for?

[solid crown]

not bad but idk if I would personally drive that far

[forest lotus]

It is simply safer to run a regular drain plug but the valved one is convenient

[high elm]

pretty good

[solid crown]

honestly for my adhd ass it might be safer, ive accidently doubled up the crush washers before

[high elm]

not worth the gas money though

[drowsy flame]

I’m thinking of upgrading my girlfriend from a 3060

[forest lotus]

[high elm]

does she even need it

[drowsy flame]

Not particularly lol

[forest lotus]

Not the worst thing you can do.

[high elm]

then dont get it

[left dove]

i thought you were talking like your pc was your girlfriend

[sinful cobalt]

btw how much did u buy ur unifans for

[solid crown]

not a great benchmark to follow tbh 💀

[drowsy flame]

My PC is my second girlfriend

[sinful cobalt]

lowk I might jst get knockoffs lol

[high elm]

USD$15 for 1 AL120

[forest lotus]

Indeed

[high elm]

USD$25 for the controller

[forest lotus]

At least you aren't the one apprentice I saw out two seals on a oil filter

[solid crown]

yikes

[forest lotus]

Uhh. Let's say that ended pretty explosively with alot of oil spewed everywhere

[sinful cobalt]

where tf are u finding these prices

[solid crown]

thankfully I have anxiety each time I work on the car so I usually dont mess up too bad

follow my haynes manual and all that

[high elm]

bro i told you i got friends at corbell

who can order from lian li directly

[forest lotus]

Good. The biggest anxiety I get is when filling oil.

[sinful cobalt]

pro

[forest lotus]

The newest cars and trucks don't have dipsticks

And that is why I decided to go Into heavy duty

Cause. Hell naw.

[solid crown]

thats cursed

[forest lotus]

I also hate the "lifetime" transmission fluid.

[solid crown]

well hey if you only drive the car 100K miles then itll be fine!

[forest lotus]

Or "lifetime" differential fluid

[solid crown]

we all get new cars once it hits 100K right??

[high elm]

oyeah im getting the 9070xt

$599 cheap asf

[forest lotus]

Yeah real absolutely (not)

[sinful cobalt]

which model from yeston the wife one or the aqua 1

[high elm]

atlantis

[solid crown]

this corolla better last 300K

[high elm]

i check already around SGD$1050 can get

[sinful cobalt]

the aqua 1 is like $1150 after rmb to sgd conversion btw

[high elm]

rlly meh

[sinful cobalt]

its 5.1k rmb

[high elm]

its $5099 RMB

[sinful cobalt]

did i check wrong

am i high

yes i am its 941

mb

[sinful cobalt]

wtf

[forest lotus]

Biggest tip. Check diff fluid and transfer case when applicable it just helps to keep that checked. And top it off if it needs some using the right fluid for it.

[sinful cobalt]

where are you shitting this from

[high elm]

PROMO CODE

[sinful cobalt]

i forgot taobao has a roundabout method from the +19%

[high elm]

i just went to a 7900XT listing that was the closest to the 9070xt price

to estimate the import tax

[solid crown]

yeesh I probably need to get that changed asap

[forest lotus]

Oooh boy. How many miles?

[solid crown]

180K and I dont think its ever been changed

[sinful cobalt]

oh

[forest lotus]

Should be mostly okay. If you don't drive like a madman. Definitely check the level tho.

[solid crown]

oh ok whew

[hallow fog]

Hey guys pls i need help when i turn on my pc i have no display and my aio hi150 is flashing red i checked the cables and everything but everything is connected my aio was running fine on my old system

[solid crown]

ill check the level when I go to repair/ripout the heat shields ig

[sinful cobalt]

@high elm u getting the 80he or nah

[forest lotus]

I hope there isn't too much metal sitting on the fill cap. There sometimes is some. But as long as the diff still kinda works it's good enough. But if it's chunky on the cap. You got big problems

[solid crown]

are there symptoms that I would notice while driving or?

[high elm]

bro taobao is mad, i can get a B650 for SGD$70

[lapis condor]

Display cable plugged into GPU?
CPU power connected to motherboard?
RAM seated properly?

[forest lotus]

I doubt 180k on OEM fluid is gonna do much to the diff unless you really rammed on it but I've seen cars with 330k come on still running OEM fluid and haven't been topped off since they were bought. So biggest deal if you had a fked diff is you can't drive. And if your diff is wearing out it's probably gonna be grinding audibly.

[solid crown]

gotcha, yeah nothing like that happening so far

thanks for the tips, I gotta go to sleep -30 minutes ago so see yah around

[forest lotus]

Your probably fine. Most shops make it a check to do whenever you get your oil changed.

[forest lotus]

Same haha.

[late sluice]

hi, i have a Redmi 10 2022 and i want to make it really laggy, what should i do?

[sinful cobalt]

how are we going from kb to mobo

[high elm]

idk

$70 for a b650 is cheap asf

[sinful cobalt]

it is extremely cheap

sadly no b850 aorus ice

[tidal geyser]

what?

[late sluice]

it has to be frustrating to use

[whole garden]

Why

[neat flame]

fill up the storage

[tidal geyser]

stop helping them brick their phone

[neat flame]

make sure all the ram is utilized by keeping everything running in the background

[tidal geyser]

i know what he is trying to do

[neat flame]

what

[tidal geyser]

he is trying to make the phone that is more then plenty for him to look way worse then it is

trying to guilt his parents to buy him a new phone because this one is so slow

[fresh escarp]

so i wanna send a funny incident that happened, but just FYI i'm all good and alive, just that was before i got new psu and gpu, but thought i might be able to share maybe

[neat flame]

redmi 10 isnt that bad

[tidal geyser]

redmi note 10? funny enough i thought if i'd upgrade to 11 pro 5g things would be better, the camera was worse and generally was usable for what it is, but for my needs was a downgrade, at the end gave dad that phone and he gave me samsung note 10 plus 5g which is awesome so far, got back glass replacement for it

[neat flame]

yea note 10+ is better than both

[fresh escarp]

yep was thinking for the funny trying to emulate postal 2, but can't get past the warning thing 😔

[tidal geyser]

my s10 lite is still holding well together only thing having issues now is the battery

[fresh escarp]

wanted to impress dad as it's hes favorite game

[tidal geyser]

well also charging port

[tidal geyser]

active use the phone only lasts like 1-2hrs max

[neat flame]

I'm helping out a friend troubleshoot a problem with his TUF Gaming A15 laptop. Dude gets a black bar that covers 1/4 of his screen whenever its plugged in. Set the refresh rate to 60hz, and it fixed it. Can anyone tell me why this is the case?

[tidal geyser]

but the cpu is on par with modern budget phones even after 5 years

sadly it will lose software support this year

[naive vapor]

Did Asus hook this particular model with bad screens?

[fresh escarp]

tho rip the PSU, was a not-good brand either way

[hallow fog]

Yes all of the above and aio still blinking red also now the other fans stopped working and it refusés to boot after going to bios

Anyone able to help with some an issue I just had on my pc? Took my gpu out, cleaned the fans carefully. When I put it back in, my pc was acting very weird. Went straight to bios. After bios got no display signal. Turned it off then back on, told me I needed to reset my windows pin. When I went to do that it froze. Turned it off then back on, blue screened for a sec then prompted me to restart in safe mode. Ended up booting up normally but why would just taking my gpu out cause that?

[fresh escarp]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

what issue?

you said it was working normally and benchmarks normally

[void ore]

I’m just not sure what could’ve caused my pc to act so weird after the gpu being put back in. Everything’s working now but worried I damaged something in the process

[tidal geyser]

well its working as it should?

a computer is binary, it works or it does not work

ofc there is more to it then that but if you are not having a issue then there is no problem

[void ore]

Copy, maybe I’m just overthinking it. Just worried more might come up later

Does that matter for you?

Up to you

[charred sundial]

vengeance ram is good right

[grave obsidian]

right now i will use 7600.

but i think in future i will get 7800x3d

[tidal geyser]

That uses even less power

[grave obsidian]

7800x3d?

[tidal geyser]

Yus

[grave obsidian]

do u think that giga b650m gaming plus can handle this cpu?

[tidal geyser]

No way not like the cpu is 88w max

[grave obsidian]

how can be low power when big performance in game

amd cooked

[tidal geyser]

Cache

evne motherboards without a VRM can do a r5 7600 without ANY issues

[grave obsidian]

sounds good

i dont need worry then about upgrade

my xternal ssd is faster than my internal drive

and almost larger

[tidal geyser]

cool?

[fickle ivy]

tempted to just rip out the m.2 ssd thats inside it

[trim idol]

An external USB drive?

[raw cedar]

Any suggestions on how I can fix my laptop?

[trim idol]

Probably

[tidal geyser]

you fix it

fix it by fixing it duh

[raw cedar]

It's turbo boosts above its turbo boost frequency

💀

[trim idol]

what is the CPU and laptop?

and how high is it boosting?

[fickle ivy]

Usbc to m.2

[raw cedar]

Lenovo g460, i5 480m
Turbo boost - 2.9 ghz, on high load on battery goes to 3.1 or 3 ghz

[fickle ivy]

Bjt it's in a full metal enclosure that o can't open

[raw cedar]

..

[tidal geyser]

nice

How do I make a bookable windows usb.

[tidal geyser]

what os?

[fickle ivy]

Win10

[trim idol]

oh! I thought you were referencing something else there... damn that's old, lol

[raw cedar]

Yh

[fickle ivy]

I just wanna stop using this hdd

[raw cedar]

My dad won't buy me a new one 💀

[tidal geyser]

go 11 if you can

[fickle ivy]

I5 12500t with 16gb ram rn

[trim idol]

Your max boost is 2.93GHz, so hitting 3-3.1 isn't a problem, really.

There could be a bios setting that has it in some sort of "High performance" mode. Or you could try switching windows power management off performance to balanced or battery saver (if you haven't already)

[tidal geyser]

VERY good so go 11

[raw cedar]

The bios is crap, can't do shit there.

[trim idol]

wait a second... you have a i5 12500, presumably on a 600 series mobo with an m.2 SSD?

That seems really unlikely

[raw cedar]

It never boosted like this before it's been happening since 2 months

[trim idol]

What is your windows power profile set to?

[fickle ivy]

Its on a b760

[raw cedar]

High performance

[fresh escarp]

does that windows setting actually do anything, cause maybe for laptops, but for desktop pcs?

[fickle ivy]

I'm using an hdd right now cuz I'm waiting on an m.2 ssd. But I have an external ssd

[tidal geyser]

not for desktop

[tidal geyser]

sad

[fickle ivy]

Its so slow

[trim idol]

Wow... I need to finish this coffee... I thought you said at first that you were on an m.2 sata ssd. I must have inserted that because you said it was so slow.

[fresh escarp]

me moreless chilling

[trim idol]

Oh I see... you want to rip out the ssd in the external drive.

This is where sleep deprived brain went "that's probably sata"

[whole garden]

Oof 2.5inch hdd

[raw cedar]

Just went to 3.2 ghz💀

[tired path]

whats a good reliable 650w psu

[fresh escarp]

msi

[trim idol]

Yeah, it does do things. Less on desktop, though.

But if you have Performance and E-Cores, high performance will use the P cores more, and a lower performance profile will prefer the E cores.

on something like a 7990X3D, high perf will use the non X3D CCD as that one clocks higher, etc....

[raw cedar]

Any help??

[fresh escarp]

ooh, well that makes sense, so for my pc it would be eh to have it enabled? cause i found it being on performance ( chances i've probs done it myself ), but haven't seen much change when i set it back to balanced

[trim idol]

Have you tried changing the performance setting like I suggested?

[fickle ivy]

I had an m.2 ssd somewhere but my mom took it

[trim idol]

depends on your PC

[raw cedar]

There is nothing in the bios

[whole garden]

why

[trim idol]

I'm refering to the windows setting

[fresh escarp]

🤔 🤔 🤔

[raw cedar]

K

[trim idol]

what version of windows are you running?

[raw cedar]

Win 7

[fickle ivy]

So I couldn't use my pc

[fickle ivy]

On my pc rn I'm currently dual booting win8 and win10

[raw cedar]

I usually keep it in high perfo. Bc then the cpu stays at 2.8 on idle so I get more performance. If I put it at balanced it will still go to 3.1 or 3 idk why

[raw cedar]

My dad said if ya install win 10 on it it will get slower

[trim idol]

On your machine... probably about the same

[fickle ivy]

I'm gonna install win11 too

[raw cedar]

At balanced the cpu clock speed keeps fluctuating as per use

[trim idol]

that's the idea, yes

[tidal geyser]

250GB sata HDD

[raw cedar]

Waiting for laptop prices to drop so that I can buy a new one

[tidal geyser]

why not look used?

[raw cedar]

💀

[trim idol]

I'd say the biggest risk with going to 10 on your machine is driver support--unless you upgrade rather than doing a fresh install

[tidal geyser]

used laptops can be REALLY good if you are willing to repaste and clear the vents

[trim idol]

Where do you live?

[raw cedar]

Used laptops 💀
Used pc's 😃

[raw cedar]

India 💀, the country where a normal ps5 costs 700 dollars

[trim idol]

I pretty much only ever buy refurbished laptops. Never new

[fresh escarp]

ain't that deep, unless you buy from some odd people that bully the living out of the laptop then it's a problem, my dad gets and resells back either fixed or made better depending in condition he gets them

[trim idol]

You should check out the Dell/Toshiba/Lenovo/Microsoft factory refurbished stores. Lower prices + mfr warranties

[raw cedar]

See if I buy a laptop, it needs to be fast and last me a long time like this did

[trim idol]

So you want to buy a Toshiba 🙂

[raw cedar]

Lenovo

[raw cedar]

Toshiba doesn't exist in india💀

A gaming laptop with rtx 4050 costs $1000

[fickle ivy]

So, how do I make a bootable win11 usb?

[raw cedar]

In India

[trim idol]

That doesn't sound super far off what they charge here

[tidal geyser]

you use the tool

[fresh escarp]

windows installation tool, simple google search

[raw cedar]

But still

[trim idol]

like to actually use it as an OS drive you run off, or a bootable installer?

[fickle ivy]

A drive i run off of

[raw cedar]

They have specs like 8gb ram 512 gb ssd💀

[tidal geyser]

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2156295

[trim idol]

Don't be ridiculous

(that was for Zylcel)

[tidal geyser]

never do usb drive boot

[fickle ivy]

Is a usbc 3 external ssd

[tidal geyser]

no

[fickle ivy]

The internals is basically just a usb c to m.2 adapter

[tidal geyser]

just no

[fickle ivy]

It would be faster than this hard drive

[tidal geyser]

here is the issue

[trim idol]

I'm curious how you know this if you've never opened it up

[fickle ivy]

They have a cross section sorta thing on the website

[raw cedar]

The laptop that I have chose has 24 gb ram 1 tb ssd rtx 4050 and costs $1000

[trim idol]

Interesting. That could just be a marketing image, though

[tidal geyser]

sad

[fresh escarp]

odd choice considering, unless you're wanting to squeeze every fps that laptop will be able, a temp solution can be having lower spec'ed laptop, yet that still would be able to play on logical settings and so on

[tidal geyser]

120GB transcend

[mellow cairn]

My laptop has 32gb ram and no dedicated GPU and costs more 😄

[raw cedar]

It's not made for gaming

[tidal geyser]

mine had a 3950x and has 64GB of ram and a Dgpu (rtx 2070) for half that

[raw cedar]

I want a lot of perfo and durability

[mellow cairn]

no, it isn't, that's why I have a gaming PC

[raw cedar]

💀

[trim idol]

Used?

[tidal geyser]

ofc

[fresh escarp]

well you ain't gonna get everything you want to at the budget you're tryna find, means will have some sacrifices to make

[tidal geyser]

was like 3000$ new

[trim idol]

so just trying to make him feel bad?

[mellow cairn]

I'm literally installing GTA V enhanced right now, on my gaming PC, but I'm using my laptop to do it

[viscid helm]

After 5 years I noticed there's a dead pixel in my camera sensor

is it fixable?

[fickle ivy]

So I have to completely close discord and re open it for it to get the cropped image to send and not the uncropped one, why

[raw cedar]

I think that laptop is perfect for my uses

[mellow cairn]

because discord is a piece of shit

[viscid helm]

I noticed it today

[tidal geyser]

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

[viscid helm]

a white dead pixel

[mellow cairn]

as a rule - no

[raw cedar]

Thinking of used

[tidal geyser]

parsec?

[viscid helm]

and maybe it was there since day 1??

[fresh escarp]

yet you don't have the funds to have it, so

[raw cedar]

I have but my dad won't allow

[fresh escarp]

what's the recommended specs for it?

[mellow cairn]

6600XT

[tidal geyser]

well warranty is out sooo

[fresh escarp]

well i assume ur under 18, then makes sense

[fresh escarp]

eyyy amazing, i fit perfectly, atleast GPU wise 🤣

[viscid helm]

yeah, I can't unsee it now

I see it in every single B roll I recorded today

it's everywhere

[mellow cairn]

You could fix it in post, obviously

[viscid helm]

I first thought it's my Lens but I don't think so, because I cleaned it

but I should later try the other lens too

[coarse forge]

Yo chat

Should I get r5 5500

Or

R5 5600

I wanna save costs

[raw cedar]

5600

[tidal geyser]

5600 has 2x the cache

[coarse forge]

Should I get a b550m motherboard or b450m

I wanna save costs

[tidal geyser]

what gpu will this be going with

[cosmic stratus]

isnt the 5500 just a 3600 refresh

[raw cedar]

Gpu?

[coarse forge]

Rx 6600xt or rx 5700xt

[gloomy sleet]

it’s typically cheaper

[tidal geyser]

just give us the pcpartpicker list and now build a pc part to part for you

[gloomy sleet]

i got mine for like £40

[coarse forge]

[gloomy sleet]

£40-£50 i think it was

[raw cedar]

[tidal geyser]

do not go corsair ram

[coarse forge]

Can u edit it?

[fickle ivy]

So what? The interface it uses can do 10gbps, whats wrong with it, its a fast ssd, it will be faster than that shit 2.5" hard drive i have in there

[coarse forge]

I wanna get it lol I don't have it yet

[tidal geyser]

cooler comes with thermal paste

[tidal geyser]

since usb boot is utter dogshit

[coarse forge]

Does it? This id coolin?

[fickle ivy]

What do you suggest i do.

[raw cedar]

Go with crucial ssd

[fresh escarp]

i upgraded mine from zotac 1060 3gb mini to Sapphire RX 6600 XT 8GB OC Edition, so far it's a huge upgrade, but ofc it's aimed at 1080p

[coarse forge]

Okay

[tidal geyser]

if possible rip the ssd out but why do you not have a ssd for such a higher ender build?

[coarse forge]

Can someone edit it so ik what to change

[tidal geyser]

i know for a fact since i have 2 of that cooler at home rn

[tidal geyser]

i am doing it

yes

[fickle ivy]

I5 12500t, 16gb ddr4 4000mt/s

[coarse forge]

I dont have a pc

[tidal geyser]

there is always a bottleneck

[raw cedar]

Either get a better cpu or a worse gpu

[raw cedar]

✅

[coarse forge]

Other way

[raw cedar]

Worse gpu?

[coarse forge]

No better gpu and worser cpu

whoa whoa whoa... LGA1700 recommended?

[coarse forge]

Whats wrong with corsair ram

[raw cedar]

Lga 1700 is 👍

[trim idol]

it's mid, but not awful

[tidal geyser]

i think the line of ram you had used like 100 different ICs

[trim idol]

As a proud 12900k owner, no

[raw cedar]

Why tho

[coarse forge]

Whats IC's 💀

[tidal geyser]

the ram chips

[coarse forge]

K

[raw cedar]

Why adata ram💀

[tidal geyser]

why not

[raw cedar]

I think corsair ram and crucial ssd would be good 👍

[tidal geyser]

yeah LPX and p3

[trim idol]

97% of the time, RAM is RAM is RAM

[tidal geyser]

perfect combo of shit

[raw cedar]

Yh

[trim idol]

The other 3% it's corsair

[tidal geyser]

what is it 6 companies is 80% of the market

[raw cedar]

💀

[tidal geyser]

for the ram chips themselvs

[grave obsidian]

wont run 7200?

[trim idol]

I think its 3 companies for 90% tbh

[tidal geyser]

no*

[tidal geyser]

i cant fine the pie chart but yeah most of the market only a few that make

[raw cedar]

B450 or b550?

[fickle ivy]

[kindred halo]

Budget?

[smoky heart]

i was thinking of a rtx 3070 but its not possible

[raw cedar]

Bro the guys oc requires 350 w

[smoky heart]

around 200 euros 220

[kindred halo]

Are you able to use the used market, or only new?

[raw cedar]

I think I just like those companies

[smoky heart]

used ofc

[tidal geyser]

PRODUCT>BRAND

[raw cedar]

True...

[kindred halo]

Cheapest 3070s are like.. 200 minimum, soo, pretty much your only option in that price range for NVidia

[fresh escarp]

ay u have steamdeck too, hawt

[kindred halo]

I think theres 6700s for that price? Idk though

What marketplaces do you have available

[smoky heart]

yeah but i dont think it will work on a 550 psu

[raw cedar]

I still like apple even if their os is shit

[kindred halo]

I think its best you upgrade your PSU first though, btw

What GPU do you have rn

[smoky heart]

a gtx 1070

lol

[kindred halo]

Try to find something like a 6600/XT

[frosty oriole]

Yuppers. What kind do you have?

[tidal geyser]

only reason i like apple is for the OS even if i do not own anything apple

[raw cedar]

It's buggy sometimes

[kindred halo]

Although, again, I'd recommend upgrading the PSU first things first

[smoky heart]

RX 6800 16GB ASROCK CHALLENGER PRO

[tidal geyser]

unless you have a 14900k the rx 6700 xt will have plenty of headroom

[ripe spire]

Still can’t believe my gpu peaked at 458W power draw last night

[smoky heart]

for about 200

[raw cedar]

It's simple to use and stuff but....

[tidal geyser]

thats the point its meant to be simple

[smoky heart]

i have a i5-10400

[kindred halo]

Recommendation is 650

[tidal geyser]

what 65w cpu

that leaves 107+100-550

[junior valve]

107w boost

[smoky heart]

tbh i bought my pc for like 400 bucks

[ripe spire]

Love the 250W turbo draw on that cpu

ok fine

[fresh escarp]

well, my gf has, but it's with me atm, as gonna be installing the uhh Split Fiction game, it's a lcd 64gb one, with a 256gb external i think, and another external 1TB

[tidal geyser]

this is how much power you can do

[smoky heart]

ok thanks for the help guys

[kindred halo]

How much are you willing to pay on a PSU

And how long are you willing to wait to afford a new GPU

[frosty oriole]

Ay, nice. I got the 512 GB LCD.

[smoky heart]

1 or 2 months

[tidal geyser]

he has plenty of psu headroom

[smoky heart]

i dont mind waiting

[tidal geyser]

he has like 350w of headroom on the gpu

[smoky heart]

the thing is idk how to change a psu or do the wires

i whould buy a new one

[tidal geyser]

you can do the rx 6800

[kindred halo]

Oh right, 10400F

[ripe spire]

Our gpu is cool sim

[kindred halo]

Yeah, go ahead with the 6800, but do keep an eye out for PSU upgrades in the future, your cheapest upgrade is an MSI MAG A650BN

[smoky heart]

RX 6800 16GB ASROCK CHALLENGER PRO will be it i guess

[tidal geyser]

the 6800 uses like 250w

[smoky heart]

thanks guys

[tidal geyser]

what gpu do you have now?

[smoky heart]

gtx 1070

i want to play read dead 2 on smooth 60 fps

on high- mid

[kindred halo]

Resolution?

[smoky heart]

on this gpu i get like 50 to 60

[tidal geyser]

welp cpu aint great but it will have to do

[smoky heart]

1080p

[kindred halo]

Oh then, sorry, but you'll need an ASTRAL 5090 128GB minimum

[smoky heart]

huh

[kindred halo]

And an i11 17110K

[tidal geyser]

he is joking

[kindred halo]

(/s)

[smoky heart]

is this a real ?

[plush wren]

/s

[smoky heart]

graphics card

[kindred halo]

Nope

[smoky heart]

lmao

[kindred halo]

I am pretty sure the highest VRAM on a 5090 is around 48GB?

[smoky heart]

damn

[kindred halo]

Or 32, I don't remember

We'll probably see 128GB for AI cards in the coming years though

[smoky heart]

guys did i overpay for my build ? 400 euros gtx 1070 i5 10400 16gb ram and 1tb ssd

it was all new

[tidal geyser]

it only has 1 vram version

[grizzled frost]

32gb

[kindred halo]

I phrased incorrectly

[tidal geyser]

na pros not

[grizzled frost]

every 5090 has 32gb of vram

[tidal geyser]

for now

[kindred halo]

If it truly is all new somehow, then it's a good price

[tidal geyser]

but its nvidia so who knows

[grizzled frost]

in past all the 90 series have all had only 1 vram variant haven't they?

[smoky heart]

yeah i bought a prebuild from a store

[tidal geyser]

true but again its nvidia so who knows with this strange gen

[grizzled frost]

yeah that's fair

nvidia will do nearly anything to make some money

like releasing a 3050

[kindred halo]

350 would've been better, but 400 isn't too bad

[grizzled frost]

god i hate that card

[tidal geyser]

3050 6GB has a good reason to be

8GB eh no not really at the price it is

[kindred halo]

3050 2GB

[tidal geyser]

not a thing

[kindred halo]

:3

[kindred halo]

I know 😭

[smoky heart]

alright thanks agian guys bye

[tidal geyser]

i really want a 5060 that is pcie power only or something

[grizzled frost]

LP would be great

[tidal geyser]

yus

[kindred halo]

5060 SOLO 12GB

[tidal geyser]

5060 is 8GB

[grizzled frost]

that way i can throw it in a little minisforum box or similar and have some actually good performance

[tidal geyser]

i can really see budget mini media machines becoming the next console if we got LP 5060 or something with the same performance as a 4060

4060 aint the best but its still plenty good

[grizzled frost]

with how powerful tiny little PCs are getting, and their pricing it's becoming harder for consoles to keep going

[tidal geyser]

upgradable mini pc would sell so many units

[kindred halo]

For 250-270 (The prices I am seeing them at), they've got good price to performance

[tidal geyser]

but it would ofc cost more

mini computers are fun but i just want a igpu faster then a 1650 for a good price

[grizzled frost]

Real

[frosty oriole]

780M.

[tidal geyser]

yeah thats the 1650

[grizzled frost]

mini computers with IPMI or some sort of remote management would be amazing

that way i can throw it in a closet and forget it physically exists

[grave obsidian]

@tidal geyser this one is good?

[tidal geyser]

there are some cheap machines with it but eh 1650s performance was not good enough for me 6 years ago

[frosty oriole]

It's about 1060 6 GB performance in most games. I thought the 1650 was worse.

[tidal geyser]

yea

[tidal geyser]

well the 1060 is also older then the 1650

there are many factors but in general 780M=1650 is the rule

there are many factors here too

[sour remnant]

Hello there puppy 🐶

[tidal geyser]

like what ram is being used, how much power it gets, how much cooling it gets and so on

[ripe spire]

Why the 7950X man

[sour remnant]

Cuz it’s one hell of a sexy cpu

[tidal geyser]

16 cores is fun

[ripe spire]

What u using it for

[sour remnant]

Everything 😄

[frosty oriole]

From what I've seen, the 780M gets 1060 6GB performance in 90% of games, but gets half the performance in 10% of games, which brings its average bench down.

[ripe spire]

Our 8 is better in gaming

[ripe spire]

What do u mainly do

[grizzled frost]

i wanna see a company release a 1 core 1 thread cpu for shits and giggles

[sour remnant]

Not everything is gaming 🙂

[grizzled frost]

max out the performance on a single core

75w peak draw 1 core CPU

[tidal geyser]

so a intel cpu

well with that peak power draw per core

well if tested single core

[grizzled frost]

nah they threw in a bunch of crap cores, wastes room

with one core you can have loads of super close cache

since you don't have to share room with nearby cores

[sour remnant]

I basically do everything and the range of work is so fucking varied I’d probably get married before I’d guess the next thing I’ll be doing on it. But the things I do are very core reliant.

[tidal geyser]

its 92w

XD

[lapis condor]

Still can only go in through one side of the core

Can't make a core that is surrounded by, and can access cache on all sides

[grizzled frost]

Is there a physical limitation, or is that just how cores are designed atm

[tidal geyser]

surround the core on all sides with cace super 3D cache

[sour remnant]

I went for 6000 cl30 cuz I don’t really need anything much faster

[lapis condor]

Physical limitation
How do you connect the inner workings of a core to the cache

[tidal geyser]

thats the rec for tha cpu yea

[grizzled frost]

Fair enough, i honestly don't know much about core architecture

[ripe spire]

It’s 98% of what my pc does

[tidal geyser]

what in the name of god dam wtf

[sour remnant]

I saw people be able to run 8400 at ridiculous latency 💀

[grizzled frost]

it saw the power headroom and ran with it

[sour remnant]

Yes I figured that bud

[tidal geyser]

at gear 2

[ripe spire]

How old r u

[grizzled frost]

500w with that size of die is wild though

that's like epyc powerdraw, but on a tiny die

[tidal geyser]

and the 7800x3d still beats it in most games

[grizzled frost]

that had to have been a delidded chip

[tidal geyser]

ofc then the cpu is only using like 250w

[grizzled frost]

no way it pulls that much power without thermal throttling like crazy with an IHS

[tidal geyser]

only 5x more

[tidal geyser]

well the ihs is kinda as thin as they can get it while also using special TiM

[sour remnant]

22 why 😭

[grizzled frost]

doesn't really matter how thin it is, the more materials in the way the less thermal transfer headroom

there's major losses anytime you switch materials

[tidal geyser]

yus

all this while amd is making their IHS thicker

[grizzled frost]

at least they stopped use their 3d cache as a thermal blanket for the cores

[tidal geyser]

it was nice you could beat a 200w cpu in gaming and only do 50w

[lapis condor]

Not really special tim, its just soldered normally

[frosty oriole]

We're doing it, bois.

[sick pollen]

How do rgb fans work? How do people get them to have the perfect theme? Like id assume that some fans dont work with other types of fans due to rgb problems but what about AIOs? Do you just replace the fans with it or hope it matches the rest of your fans? some1 explain

[lapis talon]

my friend's $2.1k partpicker list

[grizzled frost]

use the same fans everywhere if possible, or at least the same brand

[tidal geyser]

cool?

[lapis talon]

b650

[tidal geyser]

yea?

[lapis talon]

and $2k

[tidal geyser]

cool?

[gloomy sleet]

i got a 90gb decrypting thing

[tidal geyser]

not seeing a issue here

[tidal geyser]

for a RAD you do want pressure optimized fans

[lapis talon]

I mean I personally would want an atx motherboard for a build like that

[tidal geyser]

well maybe you have more space

or did he go ATX case

[lapis talon]

atx

[grizzled frost]

doesn't really matter

[tidal geyser]

for thicker rads it can really do that

[tidal geyser]

well there is nothing but looks to get a atx motherboard tho
