[random gyro]

Yeah

[wheat field]

Can't believe he did all those horrible things and bullied his neuro divergent coworker

[bronze jay]

What if frame generation could be used for only parts of frames

[wheat field]

I don't understand the technology enough to comment

[bronze jay]

Like the sky and shadows being frame generation but then where physics is happening it cuts it off

[wheat field]

I have no idea

[bronze jay]

If I thought of it then hopefully so did an engineer

I turned on dlss frame generation in cyberpunk and went from an average of 84 to 103 fps

I thought it would go to 160. I'm confused

Is that an RTX 50 thing?

[vivid pendant]

I have been trying to find a way to get all of my performance out of my 9800 without straight up overclocking the chip. What are some settings that I could change in the BIOS that would increase my performance with precision boost overdrive there have been people in other servers saying that my single core scores are kind of low for the chip So I was wondering if there's anything I could do to increase that

[near crag]

i have a 3080 Ti FE, is it worth upgrading to any of the new cards? I only play DCS and am considering VR but don't have anything right now

[bronze jay]

That depends on how much money you have

Are you rich, middle class, or financially underprivileged

[south arrow]

If all of your games play great then not really

[vivid pendant]

On CPUZ my single core score is only 818 and others getting 850-860

[near crag]

DCS could be better but its pretty...pretty right now, but I don't know how VR impacts things

last VR headset I had was an HTC Vive from forever ago

and I hated it so swore off VR forever, but now with the mixed reality stuff I'm interested again

[south arrow]

Performance core boost on, xmp 1 for ram, then in cpu settings setting the mode to enhanced or eco the first level (or max temp, or max watt option), then under the more advanced option under pbo setting it to all core negative 15 to 20

Fans at 70% for best intake under high loads (70-100% you'll notice minimal gains of Maybe 1-2c unless flow was a bigger issue to begin with)

And at that point you're cooking

[elder grotto]

Damn it dexter you're the damn bay harbor butcher

Lab geek my ass

Surprise motherfucker

I get it, you kill other killers, but this.. this is some sick fucking ritual man

That was dexter actually

[neon locust]

So there’s this flashing red light on my m.2 my specks are (4070 super, i5-12600k 32gb or ddr4 ram) I’ve been getting low min fps drops in rocket league on all low settings could my m.2 be the problem

[mellow cairn]

DCS loves vram aiui

[near crag]

mmmmm

[left dove]

yea it do

[spare laurel]

What we thinking about 120$ for an alleged broken r7 7800x3d? Seller mentions thats it's from their client which is from china, no visible burnt pads or contacts, but doesn't post

My bet is they're using a mobo with outdated bios

[mellow cairn]

You asked about that yesterday, the answer hasn't changed

Or at least, someone did

[tepid gazelle]

My ryzen 7 9700x is 45-50 degrees idle while water cooled, is it normal? Its higher than my old pc

[mellow cairn]

You have to assume it's a paperweight and work from there

[mellow cairn]

Yes

[hard wren]

Would it be dumb to buy a 7800xt rn

[azure topaz]

yes

[mellow cairn]

Depends entirely on the price

[wheat field]

Spider-Man 2 patch is out

Time to see if it's finally earned verified on deck

(it probably hasn't)

[unkempt grove]

yo guys

there are these like subtle lines on my monitor

how can i remove them

[wheat field]

Show us?

#1027757333117415424

[unkempt grove]

im sure you can see them

[agile laurel]

Hi all, anyone knowledgeable with noctua fans? Looking to buy some 140mm and 120mm to replace the ones currently in my PC, are the G2 140mm fans a substantial enough upgrade to choose over the chromax?

[wheat field]

What's the model

[unkempt grove]

acer nitro vg240y

180hz

[chilly sage]

All I'm about to ask is thought for the concept

[mellow cairn]

What, ducting airflow? It makes a lot of sense and works

[chilly sage]

Oh

I'm used getting getting shunned sorry

[mellow cairn]

I mean idk what the hell is all over that card, but ducted airflow is a good idea

[chilly sage]

Painting GPU gone wrong

But I was mainly asking about ducting

I'm just trying to think of how I would do it with a non blower card

[wheat field]

Damn Spiderman 2 is actually better on deck now

[mellow cairn]

With shrouds.

[chilly sage]

Ok

[mellow cairn]

Lots of OEM cases have shrouds

And/or air guides

[wheat field]

Frame gen on, feels pretty good comparatively. I've finished the entire game on deck and it was not this consistent before

[chilly sage]

I thought of doing a 120mm into 2 80 mm into 3 inch to 2 80mm hard mounted the the plastic housing

[unkempt grove]

well

gg

[wheat field]

Plug your pc into another display

[unkempt grove]

can someone tell me what happened

[wheat field]

If it persists it's your card, if it's not the monitor is dying

[mellow cairn]

It's fucked

[unkempt grove]

another 1200 riyals down the drain.. here we go

[wheat field]

Did you see this Spiderman 2 performance? The steam deck is kind of a miracle machine at times

[mellow cairn]

Yeah very impressive. Steam deck is rad

[wheat field]

I'd never get to game if not for it.

[unkempt grove]

it's monitor issue

[wheat field]

Ya, monitor is fucked bud

[unkempt grove]

the other monitor worked

gg guys

[mellow cairn]

I will get one eventually, but in the meantime I'm using moonlight on my phone with a gamesir controller

[unkempt grove]

anyone have any good budget monitors 😢

🥲

i dont even know how this was caused, i just updated my drivers

[tall bluff]

Can someone help me, which of these are good or do you have a better recommendation for a powerbank

[vast hare]

yo guys, which PC is better for game development and 3d stuff, both are the same price.
PC 1:
i9-13900k
64gb ddr5 ram
2tb nvme
3tb ssd
3090ti
PC 2:
i7-14700kf
32gb ddr5 ram
1tb NVMe
4080 super

[mellow cairn]

2. 4080 super is significantly faster.

[vast hare]

is it okay if the 2nd one is nzxt prebuilt off marketplace, the 1st one is custom built

[wheat field]

Anker stuff is good

[wheat field]

Yes

[plain cypress]

it almost looks moldy

[rapid quarry]

NZXT prebuilts are solid last I heard. Their business practices though...

[wheat field]

Its fine

[rapid quarry]

Custom built doesnt mean crap because we don't know how well it was assembled

[real lantern]

that monitor is not worth 300 dollars

[unkempt grove]

i thought it was gpu artifact in

[real lantern]

a garbage acer is not 300 dollars

[unkempt grove]

and usually guys cost that much here

i'm now just mindlessly scrolling on amazon for budget monitors

[magic iris]

Anyone know of a good 13’ laptop for productivity

[real lantern]

connect your pc to another monitor

[unkempt grove]

i already know the issue it was the monitor that died

[mellow cairn]

Framework

[real lantern]

oh then amazon.sa doesn't have many good deals, look on newegg or haraj

[unkempt grove]

ill look at my local store

[magic iris]

Only has pre order option

[unkempt grove]

does anyone know a good budget monitor that's above 180hz

[lost sky]

Does anyone have trouble getting the "shift enter" to work in MSI Afterburner when trying to flatten the curve? I can't seem to figure out why it's so inconsistent.

[drowsy flame]

Got the OLED ultra wide set up. I’m never going back to LCD

[empty quartz]

Just a friendly reminder that this car company makes audio equipment aswell

[sacred python]

Newegg.ca 9070 all sold out I guess the scalpers have bottomless pockets

RIP GPU market

this isn't even like a throwaway listing, this is one of the #15 top sellers on newegg

[tulip sparrow]

Rip what lovers

[tulip sparrow]

WD Black

[drowsy flame]

No way they’re actually exiting the SSD market

Is that true or a troll?

[unkempt grove]

GUYS

[tulip sparrow]

@plain cypress blame Western Digital for using COLORS for their drives

[unkempt grove]

THE MONITORS BACK UP

but it still has the subtle lines

[drowsy flame]

Going from SSD’s to hard drives is a huge step backwards for WD

[frail delta]

Sandisk extreme

That’s wildddd

That would be like EVGA discontinuing their GPU partnership with nvdiddya

And the source is WD themselves https://www.westerndigital.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/2025/2025-02-24-western-digital-completes-planned-company-separation

[real lantern]

they make very nice elevators too

[plain cypress]

They should have switched to hex codes

[drowsy flame]

I’m never going back to lcd panels WHAT IS THIS?!?!

[real lantern]

a bug

[unkempt grove]

nevermind

[drowsy flame]

The blacks, the highlights, the smoothness 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[steep pawn]

bro discovered color accuracy

[plain cypress]

Looks like a dragonfly

[drowsy flame]

Everyone should have an OLED monitor, why doesn’t everyone have an OLED monitor?

[steep pawn]

money

[real lantern]

i love annoying people in my region's version of facebook marketplace

[steep pawn]

I LOVE LOWBALLING

[real lantern]

me too

we should become friends

[steep pawn]

i upgraded my server for 200$ cus of it

12th gen intel system for 200$ cad 👍

[drowsy flame]

Bro I had no idea OLED was this big of a difference. I knew it would look better but WHAT

how

[steep pawn]

wait till you see the difference of looking out a window

[drowsy flame]

HOW

[steep pawn]

im playin

[real lantern]

i usually taunt people when i lowball so yeah my offers always get denied

[steep pawn]

bro just does it for the love of the game 😭 😭 😭

[tulip sparrow]

I have OLED on my mobile devices and that is where it can stay

[real lantern]

i have nothing to do so i just look at kids selling their stuff (fortnite accounts, ps4) and i just make fun of the listing

[drowsy flame]

The blacks actually look black

[tulip sparrow]

I use my PC with far to much static content for OLED to be viable for me there

[steep pawn]

this but i got into self hosted media

[drowsy flame]

I gotta play Minecraft on this thing

[steep pawn]

this is the single greatest outlet of my energy from boredom

bescides dark souls

[tulip sparrow]

I am not constantly on my phone so the OLED there doesn't have any real time to sit and burn in

[real lantern]

i don't like hosting my own media, all of my videos and photos are in pixeldrian and google drive

[steep pawn]

play ds1 go to anor londo

or ds2 majula

or ds3 irithyill

or elden ring nokron

your eyes will thank you

[tulip sparrow]

I also expect 10 years out of a monitor NOT less then bloody 3-4 years

[drowsy flame]

Or doom eternal

[steep pawn]

that too

[steep pawn]

immich >> google drive

esp since i got a lot and i refuse to ever pay for a subscription

[tulip sparrow]

Phones have gotten good enough that I can easily wait 3-4 maybe even 5 years to repalce it

[steep pawn]

plus i stream a lot of pirated shows from websites and i hate the ads and litteral minefield of virus traps

so this is INFINITLY better

[cosmic stratus]

max budget for a psu is 80$ this good?

[tulip sparrow]

While a "dumb" monitor I am NOT replacing anywhere near that often and hope to scqueeze at least 8+ years out of them

[real lantern]

my school just upgraded their PCs and they are giving away 500gb drives i might take 4 and get around to self host my stuff

[steep pawn]

check a PSU teirlist for that company or look at a detailed review first pls

99% of the time its fine

but ur risk

[steep pawn]

my school just gave out systems lol

[viral osprey]

Guys Wannasee my full setup

[cosmic stratus]

I switch when the phone stops getting major updates and thats every 7yrs now thanks to samsung

[tulip sparrow]

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[real lantern]

optiplexes?

[cosmic stratus]

could you link me one or any of recommendation

[west matrix]

How much of a bad idea is this?

[cosmic stratus]

alright then

[glass canopy]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vN26Mp/adata-xpg-kyber-750-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-kyber750g-bkcus

[real lantern]

[steep pawn]

you do know you can remove the other 4 pins right?......

[west matrix]

yeah it was being VERY difficult

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah my S22 Ultra just recived a sercurity update today as a matter of fact

[steep pawn]

its a detachable connector

[cosmic stratus]

it needs to be at microcenter btw so hopefully these are available

[steep pawn]

nothing a chanel lock cant fix

[glass canopy]

just get one online

[steep pawn]

yea

and chromebooks

[real lantern]

how old

[steep pawn]

ddr3 era so old

[cosmic stratus]

needs to be in store, im going to microcenter for my bd, my parents are paying for it unfortunately and I wanna reduce the hassle as much as possible

[steep pawn]

but if ur just doing fileshare/image backup ur fine

[tulip sparrow]

I just switched to the S22 Ultra last year from a Note 10+

[real lantern]

my school is also giving away 13 optiplexes but they are a couple of months older than me

[cosmic stratus]

thats nice, Im avoiding the s22 series bc of the samsung made 8 gen 1

[steep pawn]

the only time u would need a good cpu is if ur doing multi video stream from ur server

[glass canopy]

there's nothing at MC worth your money in the PSU department currently

[steep pawn]

since me my family and friends might use this i overbuilt it

but ur fine with 1-2 devices on that

[cosmic stratus]

depends on where I live, did you set the location to Madison hights in Michigan lol

[steep pawn]

esp if u got hw enc

i was rawdogging it with a xeon so ur fine even with ancient systems

[steep pawn]

free computer take it lol

if it has a igpu ur better off than my original system

[real lantern]

Just a quick reminder that I use a elite desk as a footrest

[steep pawn]

use it as a foot warmer/ NAS

[glass canopy]

damn i dont see no michigan here

[steep pawn]

oh yea i did not want to spend money on this so i used a 20 year old case

i5 12400 in one of THESE

[real lantern]

i think i shorted my VGA output so i can't really use it as a NAS

[steep pawn]

does it work

u dont need a display output

[real lantern]

no doesn't output anything

[real lantern]

o

[steep pawn]

like does it turn on

[real lantern]

yeah

[unkempt grove]

yo guys how do i fix monitor artifacting

[wheat field]

Eat it

[real lantern]

i installed a garbage modified version of win10 called atlas

[steep pawn]

put a temp card in there install OMV 7 and then just manage it through ur browser

[grizzled frost]

make a thread in #1027757333117415424 and provide more details

[unkempt grove]

i did

[steep pawn]

u do need a display to install the software unfortunately

other than that ur fine

[grizzled frost]

so go answer the man trying to help you in your thread

[steep pawn]

u can even run OMV on a ras pi if u wanted

[real lantern]

i have a 1070 but 1. i don't think the SFF is wide enough for it and 2. it consumes to much power

[steep pawn]

ofc ur limited to file share only

[unkempt grove]

definition

[steep pawn]

2nd psu and uhh either take out the mobo or get creative with a angle grinder

[real lantern]

great idea

[steep pawn]

legit only need it for the install

[real lantern]

or i can just try the other port

[steep pawn]

that too

[real lantern]

i'll get to it then

[steep pawn]

if it posts then ur golden

theres beginners guides for the basics but after u get OMV installed get

omv extras
docker
docksr compose
portainer
immich
jellyfin
tailscale

i might be missing some i reccomend watching a beginners guide until they start mounting containers

[unkempt grove]

how i am supposed to talk to someone when there is no one to talk to

[grizzled frost]

you have some patience

[unkempt grove]

true

[wise jewel]

can i use 2 rgb apps at the same time like 1 for my aio and one for my case fans

[grizzled frost]

yes

[unkempt grove]

are there any good budget monitors above 180hz

[oblique terrace]

I had good help fixing a laptop today

[left dove]

now eat them

[wise jewel]

wwhat resolution

[unkempt grove]

any but i wanna try 1440p if there are any budget options

[wise jewel]

u will most likely find some for 1 ms then

[inland perch]

💯 💯 yum

[real lantern]

It is refusing

[wise jewel]

just get the SANSUI 27 inch WQHD 2560 x 1440p monitor

[real lantern]

We must punish this elite desk

[unkempt grove]

price

[unkempt grove]

what's is price

[inland perch]

why :(

[wise jewel]

$150

[unkempt grove]

not bad

[wise jewel]

thats like the cheapest u can find

[unkempt grove]

[wise jewel]

i sent it in dms

[wise jewel]

wtf

[unkempt grove]

😢😢😢😢😢

[wise jewel]

[unkempt grove]

it's ok

[wise jewel]

check whats taking up all the storage

storage settings

[mild hatch]

yo guys quick question

[cosmic stratus]

wow I love how bug free amd drivers are smh... its a shame nvidia cards almost never have good price to performance forcing me to go amd

[frank forum]

my AMD drivers are fine no bugs at all

[mild hatch]

I have an ASUS TUF GAMING F15 (FX506LH) gaming laptop
Nvidia GTX 1650
Intel i5 - 10300H
24 gigs of RAM

This laptop has been reaching CPU temps of 97 and 98 degrees celsius when gaming, and I'm concerned about the lifespan of the system. Is it possible to UNDERVOLT the cpu for this laptop?

[cosmic stratus]

replace thermal paste

[mild hatch]

Alright I can do that

[cosmic stratus]

also yes you can undervolt, try using intel XTU

[mild hatch]

is it viable to undervolt though

Ohh okay

[cosmic stratus]

yes with or without heating issues you should undervolt

[mild hatch]

I've seen a lot of ppl say that its improved performance on their systems so I thought I'd give it a try

[cosmic stratus]

im not sure which version works best

[cosmic stratus]

yea very true

[mild hatch]

I'll search up about that no worries

[cosmic stratus]

thats usually the case for me on vega 56 but my 5700xt is not as bug free

[frank forum]

im using the 7800xt and i have no issues at all for 2 months

[cosmic stratus]

ok so just 5000 series ig

hold up I havnt even restarted my pc after the 25.3.1 amd driver updaye

[unkempt grove]

what

storage can't be linked to monitor

[wheat field]

5000 series is not as stable, not even close

The 5700xt is a good card but when I had one I had nothing but driver issues

7900xtx, no issues

[hexed tapir]

after the first year it was smooth sailing

[clear canyon]

its bc you dont have league of legends installed

[rigid sierra]

why does it feel soo good. seeing micro second response times

[floral osprey]

Watching Pi-hole block queries to Microsoft is one of the most satisfying things in the world

[sinful cobalt]

when bro questions why he cant get a GF when he is hobbyless, frequently played games being league, valo, and multiple gacha games

[bleak ledge]

Is this a decent deal?

[clear canyon]

yeah sucks to be that dude

[clear canyon]

[sinful cobalt]

32, 48, 64

[empty quartz]

What do you do

Gaming?

Gaming: 32
Productivity: 32 or more

[clear canyon]

32 for gaming

[empty quartz]

I need more ram

[clear canyon]

internet browsing: 256MB

[clear canyon]

same

[grave obsidian]

editing, gaming

[clear canyon]

can you explain "editing" more?

[grave obsidian]

sorry video editing.

[sinful cobalt]

you should download the latest DDR7 ram, its fast af and the latency is very good!

69420MT and CL8!

[grave obsidian]

i got fastest ssd right now 990 pro @clear canyon

[clear canyon]

professional or just the random occasional video?

[empty quartz]

Hear me out

[grave obsidian]

i want learn after effect. but futurprof 64 will be good choise right?

then ill add more 64

[clear canyon]

64 is fine

[grave obsidian]

128 🤣

[cosmic stratus]

def not hobyless and the only two gacha games ill ever play in my life are genshin and honkai star rail.. I dont like league or valo. Im just playing what I got access too for the most part bc im broke as shit

[grave obsidian]

🫡

[cosmic stratus]

im sharing a steam library with a friend rn 🔥

[sinful cobalt]

I got the gacha debuff being HSR and ZZZ, maybe wuwa but idk no time to play dat

As for valo Ill put it at half bcs I jst play that shit with friends for fun

[cosmic stratus]

I only play forza 5 for the most part then some minecraft modded and fortnite and then osu is my 2nd most played game

[sinful cobalt]

My fav input is Up Right Down Down Down

iykyk

[cosmic stratus]

Im afraid I dont know.. too bad

😅

[sinful cobalt]

500kg bomb from HD2

[cosmic stratus]

I zzz nice but it looks too much like a gooner game and I dont need to be associated with tho ppl... genshin and hsr is bad enough

[grave obsidian]

what price acceptable for kingston fury beast rgb 2x32gb 64gb?

[cosmic stratus]

ahh (dint know what hd2 is😩 )

[sinful cobalt]

helldivers 2

[cosmic stratus]

ohh ok

[clear canyon]

well you can get 32gig ddr5 for around 80 bucks or higher so 64 should be around 160+

[sinful cobalt]

so many events in zzz, i got overwhelmed and did none of them

[grave obsidian]

sadly not that cheap in my counrty i checked price its 32gb for 118$ and 64gb for 210$😭

[clear canyon]

just the cost of higher ram lol

[sinful cobalt]

Why pay for more ram? Just download them off the internet!

(Do at your own risk frfr)

[grave obsidian]

imagine this price lowest price in my counrty i can see more market 64gb for 250$

[vast hare]

yo, ik this is like 2 hours later but like could u pm me and explain in finer detail why i should go pc 2 cuz i rlly wana go pc one but i just cant decide (if u got the time obv)

[clear canyon]

professional streamers do duel pc so their main pc can have its full peformance for what ever and the steam pc can do all the stream work stuff

[vast hare]

i can only get one bro

[clear canyon]

im just explaining it

[vast hare]

ok

got it

[vast hare]

thing with the choice is that i like the more vram the 3090 ti provides but i do know the 4080 super is faster

[polar pewter]

Hey yall I’ve got a question about my pc if anyone has a couple minutes to spare

[clear canyon]

its far faster

[vast hare]

like 20-30%

Fact: the iphone 16e is not an iphone se replacement, its a successor to the iphone xr

[vast hare]

or 5-10%

[clear canyon]

thats far better and it sucks less power

[clear canyon]

nope

[vast hare]

ok, also, is a 13700kf faster than 13900k

[empty quartz]

No

[clear canyon]

no??

[empty quartz]

Thats like asking if a 3050 is faster than a 4090

[vast hare]

which one

oh wahit

[empty quartz]

[clear canyon]

it clearly is, duh

[vast hare]

sorry

i meant 14700kf vs 13900k

[empty quartz]

13900k is still faster

[vast hare]

ok

[clear canyon]

no

[vast hare]

i saw benchmarks, its so split rn

[clear canyon]

go am5

[vast hare]

bro, im buying from marketplace
can't be picky <:(

[clear canyon]

why, go am5, its better

[vast hare]

also can't find any am5 platform pc that are good

[clear canyon]

build one

[odd marsh]

That’s a risky move buying used 13th 14th gen

leme try rq on microcenter

[cosmic stratus]

lmao

[cosmic stratus]

aka increase the paging file on your pc lmfaoo

[cosmic stratus]

oooh right, might up getting the once with the instability issues

[latent ledge]

this is insane... scalpers are wild

[oblique terrace]

That's what I think of that price

[cosmic stratus]

lmfao

ummm what is this

read the text in all caps at the bottom of the description

[cosmic helm]

my gpu blows onto my boot ssd and it gets to like 60c, is that a safe temp?

[cosmic stratus]

yea thats fine

[dusky crest]

So like phone companies are like saying "oi, m8, our phone has an npu"
Me with my 2019 phone with a 2018 chip that has an npu

[dusky crest]

Anti scalper wtf

[latent ledge]

it's like 3.5x msrp 😭
I hope nobody buys that

[cosmic helm]

ok, just wondering cause crystal disk info pops up red on temp

[cosmic stratus]

exactly they've been talking about npu improvements on my snapdragon 888 but now when it would actually be usefull I dont get any ai tools smh

[latent ledge]

I saw another one of those too, the levels of scam going on rn are crazy

[dusky crest]

I mean my shit stuck on Android 10

[cosmic stratus]

oh, I got a s21+

reportedly not getting samsungs ai tools smh

[cosmic helm]

thats against ebay TOS i believe

[cosmic stratus]

the npu is USELESS

[dusky crest]

I've got a huawei honor 20

[cosmic stratus]

[cosmic stratus]

natural selection-

[dusky crest]

I don't even know what the sales pitch of the npu was on this chip

[cosmic stratus]

AI ofc

[dusky crest]

Yeah, but like what kind

[latent ledge]

lol
even still though

[cosmic stratus]

lmao

[latent ledge]

you could get a 4090 for that price 😭

I actually found a 4090 local pickup for like $950

[clear canyon]

thats a steal

[latent ledge]

yeah
unfortunately it's on the other side of the us...

[dusky crest]

Damn it, fk u scalpers

[latent ledge]

I wonder if there's going to be any other msrp 9070 XTs or if they're all gonna be this expensive

[dusky crest]

Only time I'd buy something scalped is if it's only available in a different region (and i can get from scalpers to me)

[cosmic stratus]

nahh incorrect

[latent ledge]

especially with this going on

[dusky crest]

THEY COST MORE THAN WHEN THEY WERE NEW
Actually wtf

[cosmic stratus]

I saw that and ignore it

[dusky crest]

Holy shit, I'd snatch that up if i had money to do so

[latent ledge]

why

[cosmic stratus]

too good to be true

[latent ledge]

same... local pickup unfortunately

[latent ledge]

this may be the thing

[cosmic stratus]

"ebay taxes too high" sure you're not just trying to evade buyer protection smh

[latent ledge]

entice people with low price, direct them to the website, then charge more

[latent ledge]

that too

[cosmic stratus]

this same shit scam is on ali express

[dusky crest]

Ah shit, that's how they get ya
Also there's a seller on aliexpress (gpustar) that does this

[cosmic stratus]

with gpustar. com

[latent ledge]

damn
not a good deal then

[cosmic stratus]

yep

[dusky crest]

Fr

[dusky crest]

It used to be usedrtx

[latent ledge]

mannnnn
although as the saying goes "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is"

so yeah that definitely applies here

[clear canyon]

im good gpu wise, I have many rtx cards

[cosmic stratus]

47 results my ass

[latent ledge]

definitely paid for

I have to locate an msrp 9070 xt or another good gpu under like $650... I can't continue with an igpu
And I managed to pick the absolute worst time to try to find one 😭

[dusky crest]

I mean i love ebay for stuff like buying sealed phones from ages ago

[dusky crest]

Or like China exclusive devices on there available for a global market

[frank forum]

Overclockers still has 9070s just not 9070xts rn

[latent ledge]

isn't that in the uk though?

[frank forum]

Ye

they had like over 3K 9070XT's that sold out

[latent ledge]

damn

see the issue is, I'm in the US

and the nearest microcenter is like 4 hours away

wait apparently they ship to the us

do I bite the bullet on a 9070 or wait for a 9070 xt

[flint badger]

Took a trip to Miami for this

Spent the day with the family so it all g

[cosmic stratus]

these stocks are now 0 when the day ended😭

[latent ledge]

yay :)
If you manage to find a white xt version in stock for like less than $700 while browsing around... I would really appreciate it if you would ping me

[flint badger]

Yep

[cosmic stratus]

better than nvidia with single digit stock numbers ig

[flint badger]

Lol true true

[cosmic stratus]

there are very few 9070s non xt left, the only rdna cards available in Michigans microcenter

[flint badger]

They had 4070 super in the store for 600

[fleet pier]

damn this is crazy

[flint badger]

Im sorry but nice 😔

[latent ledge]

yeah scalpers are having a field day with this launch

[latent ledge]

ty 🙏

[flint badger]

That means I can sell mine for around same if wanted https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1338146435685941340.png?quality=lossless&name=VegetaSadge&size=48

[fleet pier]

scalpers are having a field day with this year i'd say

both nvidia and amd sucked ass

[latent ledge]

so far yeah

[flint badger]

Truly is shit tho

[latent ledge]

yup... amd never misses an oppurtunity to screw up a launch

[fleet pier]

truly

[latent ledge]

this launch sounded so good but they messed it up

[fleet pier]

i mean i already knew that was gonna happen, and was warning everyone to not lick amd's asses before they actually do show the stock and actually sell these cards at msrp, but oh well

[latent ledge]

I was just feeling optimistic because they said they were sending out cards months in advance but I guess I judged too early

[fleet pier]

yeah they lied about many stuff as usual. the 9070 being 20% faster than 7900 gre and xt being 50% faster than it, which ended up being only 5% and 20%, lied about stock, lied about msrp "erm, sorry guys, but msrp is only for a few hundred cards in the first day of launch, in reality it'll cost 1000 bucks" lied about rt getting better, lied about productivity improvement, etc.

[latent ledge]

oh the xt is only like 20% faster than the gre? Hmm... I found some pretty nice looking gres on ebay, maybe I'll get one of those if I can't get a 9070 xt
yeah the msrp thing is just manipulative bullshit to hype people up imo
also the rt isn't better? I thought it was a significant improvement even though it still can't compete with nvidia

[fleet pier]

if you look at the process node of the 9070 cards you'll even understand why they have stock problems like nvidia did, cus both 50xx and 9070 cards were made on 4n 5nm finfet tsmc process node, so both amd and nvidia cards were being produced in the same fabrication chain, and before that, like 2 months before 50xx launch nvidia were still producing rtx 40xx cards which was also on the same 4n 5nm finfet process node

[latent ledge]

ohh so they didn't start producing the 50xx cards enough in advance?

and same with the 9070 cards

[oblique terrace]

Don't trust a fart when you have the Flu... Especially if you sleep naked

3 hours of laundry before I can go to sleep

[solid crown]

the fuck did you buy it then

[flint badger]

To use it i want it for 600 I would've kept it but no point now

[solid crown]

so why did you buy it for more when the price tag was shown beforehand lmao

[flint badger]

The store only had 9070 base model I convinced the manager to get me a xt and the only one was the 900 one

[solid crown]

this just sounds like you want to scalp it

[flint badger]

Lol nah chill I wanted a base model im 4hr from the store by the time I got there they had zero 9070xt

[solid crown]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-meme-gif-26978290

[flint badger]

On their site it said they had a 600$ version available

When I got there they had none

[solid crown]

bro drove 4 hours without calling the store to see how long the line was lmao

I still wouldnt buy it for that price

[flint badger]

There was no line

And they can't hold stock

[solid crown]

thats surprising

my microcenter had a 2hour line

[flint badger]

Well no one really is willing to travel to miami

[solid crown]

wdym lol

[flint badger]

Miami ppl don't really delve to deep into pcs that's more of a upper middle class area thing

[solid crown]

miamians dont want to buy gpus?

[solid crown]

isnt miami full of rich people

[flint badger]

Miami way to rich

[grave obsidian]

7600 fine with 6400mhz ?

[flint badger]

I see gpus like 3090ti going for 500 in miami

[solid crown]

sure but might not be able to run it at 6400mhz

[flint badger]

4080 going for like 800

[solid crown]

thats a gold mine

[flint badger]

They to rich

[high elm]

is that not good

[solid crown]

moving to miami asap

[flint badger]

No cuz no one wants to travel 3 hrs

[high elm]

ou

[flint badger]

4*

[grave obsidian]

theres chance to run?

[flint badger]

One way

[solid crown]

yes but dont count on it

[flint badger]

8hr total

If u already live in Miami u either rich or poor or dead center there's not really a upper middle class there

Tampa area is really upper middle class

[solid crown]

shit if what youre saying is true, you can make a killing building pcs

[flint badger]

If only u lived in Miami man

I*

[solid crown]

yeah

[flint badger]

Id do it if it was 2hr

[solid crown]

maybe you could convince people to ship that stuff to you

[flint badger]

But 4 is killer

[flint badger]

Yeah but then I got trust the shipping process

No way to secure it i think

[solid crown]

yeah I guess so, cant trust people will pack it right

[flint badger]

I shop on Facebook market

[flint badger]

Exactly

[plush wren]

[solid crown]

my facebook marketplace is atrocious

[flint badger]

Us?

[solid crown]

3060 pcs going for three thousand dollars type shit

[flint badger]

Ohhhh noooo

[high elm]

prolly some white build right

[solid crown]

yeah it had the aesthetics of a 9800x3d 5090 build but with the specs of a $500 pc

[high elm]

💀

[solid crown]

and then I got people thinking theyre doing a favor by looking to trade theirt 4080 for a 5080

like in what world does that make ANY SENSE GUYS

[high elm]

lmao

[fleet pier]

uhhhhhhhh, physx 32-bit support?

[solid crown]

the only good deals are clearly stolen items

[high elm]

$500 lamborghini

[plush wren]

Trading my computer for a vehicle

[solid crown]

or... they could just return the 5080 and buy something else lol

[fleet pier]

yes

[solid crown]

had a guy selling a 5070ti for $600 cause "it didnt work in my build"

like ok dude you stole that

[high elm]

like the mailman stole it?

[fleet pier]

i mean, idunno if it's even nvidia and amd fault tbh, because there's currently too damn many companies that are ordering 5nm family chips from tsmc lmao

[solid crown]

he had a microcenter reciept so I think he snatched it out of someones hands lmao

[plush wren]

😭 snatched

[high elm]

poor guy

[fleet pier]

qualcomm, mediatek, intel, nvidia, amd, intel both for cpu and gpu, same does amd, apple most likely too

[bleak ledge]

6.35mm headphone and microphone jacks on a NAS are a really weird choice

[fleet pier]

there's too much stress on tsmc's 5nm fabrication chain currently

[solid crown]

id run after him until my legs gave out

[clear canyon]

speaker for error codes possibly

[solid crown]

and the kensington lock?

[bleak ledge]

Normally that's just a buzzer internally I think

[plush wren]

hunt him down 😭

[clear canyon]

thats common for all prebuilt nas's

[solid crown]

thats interesting, do you know why? NAS builds arent exactly displayed for the public to my knowledge

[bleak ledge]

Normally deployed in small offices where there typically aren't dedicated server rooms would be my guess

Hence why the drive bays are also often lockable

[solid crown]

ohh yeah that makes a lot of sense

[long goblet]

dress a little better, and it's like you're going to a job fair.

[long goblet]

if the NAS has media playback capability, and you have a really old tuner

[clear canyon]

wdym by media playback?

[long goblet]

like... play music through it?

[warped island]

look at this

admire the spelling

wolrd and srcibe

wonderful

[long goblet]

a NAS that is just a NAS needs a playback device in order to get music out of it. if your NAS also includes a playback capability, you can get music (or video) directly.

some commercial NAS's include this possibility.

[clear canyon]

i was thinking of a media server within a nas whcih is why i asked lol. its late and my brain is not braining

[long goblet]

just because it's a server, doesn't mean it can't also be a client.

just like my office PC and nextcloud

[clear canyon]

ik

i have mine set as that too

[heady saffron]

Anyone know how big a deal static is when building a pc? Building my first one tmrw, the room is carpet but there’s a rubber like mat that I’ll be standing on and I’ll be building on a metal desk. Should I still go get some wrist straps?

[long goblet]

wtf?

ditch the rubber mat.

[rich bloom]

Just touch something grounded every once in a while and you will be fine, mobos are very resistant to static discharge and are hard to break by static

[heady saffron]

It’s there for my setup lol do the carpet doesn’t get indented by the chair

[long goblet]

make sure to ground yourself while standing in the relevant spot before touching stuff

[rich bloom]

Carpet would be worse

[heady saffron]

I can def get rid of it while building tho

[long goblet]

not really. carpet will bleed some.

rubber mat is a near-perfect insulator.

[rich bloom]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1325929217359351921.png?quality=lossless&name=vei_drink

But human body on its own can't generate as much static as carpet

[long goblet]

it's the rubbing that causes the static.

take deliberate steps, no shuffling.

and make sure to ground yourself

[rich bloom]

Don't you have some room where there's no carpet

[heady saffron]

Ye downstairs but it’s gonna be a pain to move everything

I can do that to make sure nothing fries

[long goblet]

out of curiosity, what's your local climate like?

[heady saffron]

I’m in the south

[long goblet]

if humidity > 50%, then static is less of a concern.\

[rich bloom]

Just ground yourself

[heady saffron]

South of Atlanta so rn it’s cold but usually fine

[warped island]

rubber conducts literally nothing theres a reason they wrap cables in it

[rich bloom]

But make sure not to touch anything when it's connected to power

[long goblet]

the higher the humidity, the faster a static charge will bleed through the air.

[warped island]

its not like we are very conductive tho

[heady saffron]

Got it I’ll check the humidity tmrw but I’ll try and just move everything downstairs just to be safer

Appreciate the help lads

[long goblet]

also, the higher the humidity, the less effective shuffling on carpet will be at even generating static charge.

[swift moss]

Really grinding my gears

[long goblet]

there's a reason why the demonstration with long hair and a balloon requires clean, dry hair.

[heady saffron]

Also i assume plugging the psu into the outlet but not powering it on would be good enough to use as ground?

[rich bloom]

Wet hair would be much too heavy either way

[heady saffron]

Is that a Costco

[long goblet]

any big metal thing works reasonably well as ground.

[sinful cobalt]

usa issue

[heady saffron]

Well then my desk should do

[rich bloom]

If your house wiring is done correctly

[sinful cobalt]

cant trust any1

[long goblet]

for the small amount of static charge you're working with.

[sinful cobalt]

unless ur in some high security country

[swift moss]

Idk I'm not a US citizen but I sure know that woman is uneducated and the comments sections as well

[long goblet]

it doesn't take much charge to fuck up components, but again, if you're tapping something big and metal frequently, then you're gonna be fine.

[warped island]

that is actually kind of making me mad

[formal sonnet]

To be fair... a large majority of the population is completely uneducated about the differences between <PRODUCTS> in a given <INDUSTRY>, even if they use said products everyday.
We only know what we know, so I can't really fault someone for not understanding the differences - that's ultimately the retailer's / manufacturer's job, though these days sales metrics and making the most profit often means there's no incentive to educate the consumer anymore.

[warped island]

true

[swift moss]

really? i recently was shopping for a bike and in a matter of days i could tell you every difference in a bike, what each component does and what it's upgrade paths / top ends were, same with projectors

you just gotta love what you buy and care for your money and intelligence

[long goblet]

like, if it's meant to be a video, it fails.

[formal sonnet]

Yes, you can. And I could too. Thing is, many people don't make the time to do this research themselves, among other reasons. Some people still operate as if "every product should just do feature X" without realizing the world has become a complicated place. I'm speaking from experience helping older family members. 🤣

I dont know why but when people say something thats really wrong about a hobby or a topic I enjoy I get really mad but I just choose not to say anything.

[swift moss]

Yeah, i wish people were a bit more educated you know, like i'm genuinely ashamed if im in a convo and i dont know what the other 2 people are talking about (maybe thats just me)

im totally fine with people who are willing to hear me out and change their opinion after explaining

[swift moss]

😂

[swift moss]

what dealership do you work at 😡

[formal sonnet]

More or less, same. I only jump in if the thing they said could result in a severe issue, like loss of life, permanent deletion of data, or spending oodles of time using the product entirely wrong.

[solid crown]

why would you be ashamed you dont know about something

[clear canyon]

the custom one

[solid crown]

thats a perfect opportunity to ask those people what theyre talking about and to explain it to you

[clear canyon]

aka buy a harbor freight engine and slap it on something

[swift moss]

because it is a lack of knowledge, a gap in my understanding that will help enforce better choices, contribute more to the world and ultimately form closer bonds with my peers. Also, who wouldn't want to know everything about everything?

[warped island]

same but I mean I dont think miniature painting could kill someone. unless they go crazy and start to look like that photoshopped russian sleep experiment thing.

[solid crown]

I wouldnt be ashamed about it lol

not everyone needs to know the dynamics of coral reefs

guys are gpu fans supposed to spin while your in bios

[cedar hollow]

yes

[cyan bay]

I honestly think Nvidia should sell their gpu 1 per customer if the stock is limited

[cedar hollow]

no they should just do a queue system like apple

[elder quarry]

What do you mean

[cyan bay]

yeah and that

[unkempt grove]

i'm in the bios and gpu fans are spinning for some reason

[cedar hollow]

everyone will get a GPU eventually just have to be in a line for it

[cyan bay]

1 per customer is great and prevent scalpers

many retailers already do that

What are you doing?

[west matrix]

i sure do love vice grips

and hot glue

that psu has one screw crossthreaded and one threaded into the vent hole

[frank spindle]

When you sell a used pc, are you supposed to wipe the SSD or do people usually just completely remove it?

[west matrix]

the that front intake fan is hot glued in

[rugged sand]

Did you destroy the side of that case?

[west matrix]

I tore the bracket out because some other things in the OEM refused to let the Gpu sit properly

It works though!

[strong orbit]

Reformeat the ssd or clear it i suppose not too sure

[rugged sand]

You could clip it and sand it down so it looks nicer.

[west matrix]

I probably will when I can

[frank spindle]

Yea Ive heard ppl can run data recovery software and stuff but im not sure if theres a way to avoid that or not

I only have a vice grip with me currently

[wise jewel]

best outta this list for gaming

[tired path]

whats a good upgrade from rx 580

[rugged sand]

I took apart two old prebuilt office pcs so I could practice building them for the first time. (Both booted fine! 👍)

[strong orbit]

Actually yea with a company I know of they throw away old pcs and destroy the drives because people can get data off of it so if you have any sensitive information keep it or do whatever i suppose

[frank spindle]

Should i then buy a fresh SSD before selling the prebuilt or can i probably still get a buyer without putting any storage in?

Idk what people usually do with this stuff

[rugged sand]

Id probably buy ssd. Some people just buy prebuilts for parts tho.

[strong orbit]

You can just get a 250 or 500gb NVme ssd

And let the customer decide what to do

[frank spindle]

For those prices, wouldnt a 7800x3d or 9800x3d be the best choice? Idk how intels high end chips are these days but i know the x3d amd ones are rlly good

[frank spindle]

Its a 3060ti w/ ryzen 7 5800x and 16gb of ram so ifs probably only worth like $500ish

[rugged sand]

Well someone buying it will probably hope for it to turn on...

[frank spindle]

the tragic part of the prebuilt pc is that the 3060ti was capped the 70 degrees max the entire time whcih i didnt realize until i got ready to switch to my new pc… so i had really shit performance given my card

[frank spindle]

Lol true

[cyan gorge]

I'd trade my switch rn for a rtx 3060 ngl

[frank spindle]

Idk how much switches cost tbh

[true stirrup]

The switch is worth more money

[rugged sand]

You could buy crap storage and let them know that it could use a storage upgrade but other than that it's a great build. Then at least it can boot properly.

[cyan gorge]

V1?

[true stirrup]

No idea about your market but here definitely

[rugged sand]

Yoo wsg rauko.

[rigid fjord]

you wipe it with a fresh install of windows

sup

[rugged sand]

Not much not much

[cyan gorge]

Dang lemme have that market

But tbh I should refurbish it first before selling

[strong orbit]

How much can I sell an old 1650 super for I wonder

[lapis condor]

Like $50 to some schmuck if you feel reasonable

[strong orbit]

A hole 50 bucks lmao

[wind sleet]

Question: Whenever I boot my new pc, it asks if I want to boot from Windows on Disk 3 or Disk 6. Something did mess up during the install, but when I look at the drive files and disk manager, I don't see any 'disk 6' or any extra windows install

[strong orbit]

What do you want to happen? If you want to boot then you can use disk 3 i suppose or get a usb to get a new windows install

[drowsy isle]

anyone have a good recommendation on thermal pads? I went with some cheap amazon one and my vram is at 102c with a thermal throttle from 350w to 185w, so clearly I should have spent more.

[wind sleet]

Just want to not have to select it every time I boot lol, don't think there's any adverse stuff happening, but it just bothers me

[drowsy isle]

went from 70 fps psycho ray tracing in cyberpunk to 20 fps lmao hardest thermal throttle ever

[strong orbit]

I think you would just change bios boot order I guess

Something in bios to say where you want to boot

[wind sleet]

Turns out you can just go msconfig - boot and remove the second option lol

[random gyro]

I said the other day, the 9070xt will sell out, and won't be selling for msrp in the UK, and boy, was I right. 750 - 1000 for a 9070xt

[tidal geyser]

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

[tidal geyser]

it was sold at msrp

[random gyro]

I never said it wouldn't

I said, it would be scalped or sold out immediately

And you said, AMD aren't stupid enough to have little stock

It's gone up to 750 minimum, then jumped to 1000

I told you. I said I'd be lucky to get it at 570

[tidal geyser]

you just now
-and won't be selling for msrp in the UK

[vestal roost]

why my cpu stock settings at 3.6ghz, the same performance-FPS in any games vs PBO enabled on? Stock settings lower temps than PBO on? is it because my CPU is already hitting its maximum boost clock within its power and thermal limits under stock settings?

[random gyro]

is it currently selling for msrp in the uk?

I never said it wouldn't immediately, I previously said, that it would be scalped and retailers would raise the prices.

You said "no, amd has plenty of retailers and plenty of stock after seeing a disastrous nvidia launch"

[tidal geyser]

i know for a fact i did not say that

[drowsy isle]

I made the mistake of buying these for vram thermal pads now I am at 102c on vram lmao

[tidal geyser]

amd had stock and a lot of it but the amount of bots and so on bought them up faster then i understand

[drowsy isle]

So bad what was the point

[random gyro]

^^^

I said it was going up to 700 minimum

did it? Yes

[tidal geyser]

when you quote someone you do not change what they said

[random gyro]

You misconstrue what I say plenty of times. It's okay to be wrong every once in a while.

It's not going to go up. There is enough stock. They waited long to release it. Either way, I predicted it.

[viscid helm]

I can't Identify if this email is legit, how can I?

the same thing that these people mentioned yet I can't understand

[random gyro]

What does the email talk about?

[viscid helm]

a community partner manager asking to register for google events that help smaller creators to get more members?

sounds fishy to me

[random gyro]

Okay. Let's think, even if it's a real email, are you interested?

if not, just delete it and move on.

You have 0 obligation to keep it

[glass scaffold]

Hey all, anyone aware of any cpu fan coolers with at least 44mm of ram clearance?

[viscid helm]

I know, I received it after I passed 50 channel members recently, so I was thinking maybe if it is legit it could be helpful?

[random gyro]

yeah, even if that's the case, I don't suggest googles help

[viscid helm]

why?

[random gyro]

Something I've noticed, is googles "help" tends to hurt creators more than help

[viscid helm]

oh, so based on experience, yeah I'm launching my own stuff and my membership is growing fast recently

but I thought it may help too

[random gyro]

Also, no offence bud, I'm not insulting you. But perhaps change up your thumbnails slightly

[warped island]

hello guys

[random gyro]

It's very, VERY repetitive. It'd be nice to see some variation. You're doing well though, so that's up to you

[viscid helm]

I know I'm copying the same thing that worked all the time, good insight

it's good to make some changes

[random gyro]

Like, it's not a bad design, if used every once in a while

But this is 8 videos in a row lmao

Clearly it works though, so I can't really say much

[viscid helm]

yes, in fact it might be the last 50 videos the same thumbnail design 😅

[rigid fjord]

use the site i linked to you to check it out

[viscid helm]

I checked and it seems to be legit

however people on reddit made me nervous

[edgy holly]

why is he playing trumpet

[reef glade]

I'm currently running r7 5700x3d with rx 6700xt on msi mag a550bn psu will I need to upgrade psu if I upgrade to the 9070 non-xt

Tdp seems to be the same as the 6700xt but still wanna be sure

[azure void]

is pulsar x2 crazylight worth it

[latent pasture]

and around 490w transients
its getting a bit too uncomfortable imo

[reef glade]

My 6700xt seems to draw more like 215-235w in games

My main limit is that a550bn for some reason has a single 8 pin cable daisy chained into 2 connectors

[toxic crest]

Damn the european pricing for 9070xt is ASS

[reef glade]

Sales tax across eu is 20% ish compared to the what I understand to be approx 10% in the states so prices are gonna be more

Supposedly a few UK retailers have stock in the thousands at msrp though

[toxic crest]

Yeah but i expected the price to be 100$ lower
And there are gpus with that price, but they werent in stock

[true stirrup]

Yesterday they were pretty great

[toxic crest]

Better yet, apparently stores in germany had close to none cards

[toxic crest]

The cheapest available one is rx 9070xt OC from gigabyte which has 340w TDP and requires 850W psu

And i aint buying another expensive sfx psu

[tidal geyser]

it does not need a 850w psu

[latent pasture]

cap it at 300w again

u only lose like 4% perf

[viscid helm]

even tough it's legit in address, I'd perfer to take no action on it after talking to support

[tidal geyser]

650w psu is plenty fine for a 9070 xt unless you have a 14900ks or something

[true stirrup]

It doesn't require that PSU

[toxic crest]

Any crash or driver reinstall resets the undervolt

[tidal geyser]

so do not undervolt

just lower the power limit

[latent pasture]

that and also amd will probably fix such a glaring error fast

[toxic crest]

Also its still like
935$

[lapis condor]

Oof, 9070 XT MSRP models have now up about £90

[true stirrup]

Called it

[tidal geyser]

sad

[toxic crest]

They havent changed their pricing here since yesterday

[tidal geyser]

tbh amd should just have filled every store and warehouse to the top with them gpus

[true stirrup]

I just updated my bios because there was a chance it was corrupt and I don't have bios flashback so I'm not risking it and my ram OC profiles got wiped 🥲

[lapis condor]

They did

Like, that is exactly what they did

[toxic crest]

We have like 3 stores full of only gigabyte, but 2 of them sells them for over 1k usd
And theres alot of stock of non XT but theyre still expensive

[tidal geyser]

dam

do we have any clue how many 9070 xt were sold in total

[warped island]

whats the best HDDs for small amounts of server storage like about 3-4 TBs

[tidal geyser]

what will it be used for

[warped island]

media server

[tidal geyser]

and remember you need 2 drives

[toxic crest]

Recertified wd red

[warped island]

ik

[tidal geyser]

are you in the US

[warped island]

yes

[tidal geyser]

server part deals

[lapis condor]

More than 50 series has had stock ever

[tidal geyser]

XD

[lapis condor]

That's not an exaggeration either

[tidal geyser]

how much do you plan to spend

[lapis condor]

Multiple thousands, at least

[warped island]

prob 600$ not gonna make a big server just a small server to run the things I want over the years

[tidal geyser]

i kinda just wanna try and see around how much money has been spent on rx 9000 and or around how much money amd has made from it day one

[toxic crest]

Speaking of media servers

Wanted to get cheap rack server for my small firm
But idk which used xeon config has the best price to performance

[tidal geyser]

how bad are power prices for you

[tidal geyser]

performance for media?

a n100 can be a NAS and a media server with zero issues

[warped island]

I do not know

[tidal geyser]

do you pay for power

[warped island]

no

[tidal geyser]

how much does the data on the server matter to you and or speed?

[toxic crest]

Anything would work
I just wanted to not buy something super old

[lapis condor]

I would've gotten an msrp 9070 xt if not for OCUK going down for 3 hours and then refusing my order because 'weight limit exceeded'

[tidal geyser]

could in theory just do n100 mini pc and DAS

[warped island]

not much. I dont really have important files that need to be held on a server.

[toxic crest]

We never had msrp rx9070xt
And it is sad

[tidal geyser]

hmmm 3 drives and raid 5 or something

how much does the size of the NAS itself matter?

@warped island

[toxic crest]

I need atleast 2 drives for raid
And additional ones for keeping snapshots
All hotswappable

[warped island]

I want it to be small but I dont mind if its a little large

[edgy storm]

How to disable HDR on YT TV/Android TV? I am SDR guy and those HDR brightness flash bangs me.
