[random gyro]

I wish those videos were boring so i didnt feel compelled to perserve them for perpetuity

Or maybe i just wish i had higher standards because i also decided to save 100+ food theory episodes because they 'were interesting'

[dawn tundra]

How do I finish my stupid idea

[gloomy sleet]

that is probably not ikea i’d guess

i’ve drilled into loads of my ikea furniture and all of it is wood or chipboard

never seen cardboard before

although that honeycomb vertical cardboard is probably the strongest you could make cardboard tbf

[hexed tapir]

It is ikea

[gloomy sleet]

i honestly doubt it

[hexed tapir]

https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/7k3srq/the_inside_of_an_ikea_desk_panel/

[gloomy sleet]

literally none of my entire house worth of ikea is made of cardboard

[gleaming rose]

not that you know of

[boreal vine]

ikea moment

I swear I can punch a hole through an ikea desk

[hexed tapir]

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/linnmon-adils-table-white-s29932181/

[boreal vine]

i've used this thing for qutie a while

[gloomy sleet]

i have this desk and have drilled through it and it’s not cardboard

[boreal vine]

thing's barely a desk tbf

[gloomy sleet]

it’s fine for me

it’s held up with 0 damages so far

[left dove]

I feel bad for you brits and your tiny houses

"0 damages"

[gloomy sleet]

real

[left dove]

dude it looks like it was left in the rain

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[gloomy sleet]

that’s from the reddit thread not mine

[left dove]

its mdf and swollen, it's no bueno any more

[gloomy sleet]

his one is cardboard

i’ve drilled into mine and it’s all chipboard

[left dove]

k

[sleek ibex]

[gloomy sleet]

this is what the ikea website says about the desk

i must of gotten an older model or something

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/get-real-cat-skate-funny-meme-gif-18666878

[hexed tapir]

Did you drill in the middle of it or the sides

[gloomy sleet]

on top of it

the far left side of the desk

[hexed tapir]

Just knock on it and see if it's hollow ezpz

[gloomy sleet]

people don’t seem to be reporting any issues with the honeycomb cardboard so i guess its fine

[gloomy sleet]

it isn’t hollow

[hexed tapir]

The long desk sag over time

[rigid fjord]

this one can actually work if you're plugging it into something that has an aux input

[gloomy sleet]

how long does that take to develop on the cardboard is the main question

if it takes like 5-10 years then that’s fine honestly

[dawn tundra]

What about video

[rigid fjord]

if this is 0 damage to you i have another thing to show you

[rigid fjord]

can connect to any tv tbh

[gloomy sleet]

this isn’t mine dumbass

[dawn tundra]

But it needs to be funny

[hexed tapir]

First year

[sleek ibex]

I'm going to do a funny

[sleek ibex]

I see a Swiftech Reservoir

[hexed tapir]

Not mine so idk

[rigid fjord]

is it me, or is there a massive bend there despite the middle leg?

[rigid fjord]

the only dumbass around here, is you

[ripe spire]

oooooooo too cold from rauko

[tired bear]

why monitors arent aligned

[hexed tapir]

[south arrow]

Oddly enough, warpage things

[hexed tapir]

The power of Ikea cardboard and saw dust

[rigid fjord]

[south arrow]

[ripe sable]

Why is not amd showing up for me like it does with nvidia gpu

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/cuddles-cuddle-cat-cat-cuddle-sleepy-cat-cat-sleepy-gif-13127427148831486106

[rigid fjord]

they wouldn't get that kind of warp with a support of 6 inches on either side and on the rear

[hexed tapir]

Or if it was solid wood

[tidal geyser]

did you install amd drivers?

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-trapped-kitten-speech-bubble-gif-25553629

[south arrow]

Sweet lil thumpers getting some good rest

[hexed tapir]

Must give belly rubs

[wheat field]

He's mentally deranged

But we love him

[ripe sable]

It’s a prebuilt with 7900xt

[tidal geyser]

so no

[wheat field]

Install the drivers

[ripe sable]

Will I hit more fps if I does install it

[tidal geyser]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html

[wheat field]

....yes

[hexed tapir]

Contact the pre built company that's why people buy them

[tidal geyser]

maybe

[grizzled frost]

generally, no

but you will have greater compatibility and less issues

[tidal geyser]

way too many do not

[ripe sable]

So it’s not a neee to install the drivers?

[grizzled frost]

you should absolutely install the latest drivers

[wheat field]

You should install your drivers.

[tidal geyser]

why would you not install drivers

[ripe sable]

Why do I need the drivers?

Idk

[tidal geyser]

why do you need anything

[grizzled frost]

greater compatibility and less issues

[wheat field]

Stop giving "well, actually no, but yes" answers to things like these lol. If someone says "why do I need drivers" the answer is "...download your drivers"

No need to get pedantic around installing drivers

[grizzled frost]

sorry for giving complete answers

[ripe sable]

The pc runs fine tho without them

[wheat field]

It confuses the new brains. I'm not bashing you, it's a dialect you learn

[wheat field]

You should install your drivers

[tidal geyser]

your body can run fine without your kidneys

but only for so long

[ripe sable]

Ye but what does it actually do if I install them

[grizzled frost]

well one of them

[hexed tapir]

Why do I need to change the oil in my car if it still runs

[ripe sable]

I know I should I just want to understand why

[grizzled frost]

Increases the compatibility with different games and render engines, while also reducing bugs and issues

[wheat field]

Your drivers can increase performance stability so the PC would run better with it than without it.

Why would you leave performance in the table?

[tidal geyser]

both but only for so long

[grizzled frost]

so get to installing those drivers

[wheat field]

I don't understand why you don't want drivers

[tidal geyser]

i even sent the link

[wheat field]

Smooth brains

[tidal geyser]

there is zero reason not to install the drivers

[south arrow]

Geforce does it all for you if on team green. Its real convient

[grizzled frost]

they’re amd

[ripe sable]

I didn’t say I don’t want them I just wanted to understand why before I download them

[wheat field]

Andrenaline is much the same

[tidal geyser]

so does amd adrenalin

[wheat field]

Adrenaline*

[south arrow]

I gotcha no worries

[grizzled frost]

installing drivers is like installing the latest update for your game

[wheat field]

Lol I love the suspicion around installing drivers

[left dove]

Where the antics of the gay variety at

[plush wren]

dogime

[grizzled frost]

sure you can run on an old update with more bugs and less optimizations, but why would you

[ripe sable]

But if I download the drivers now will I need to do it again later or it’s gonna update itself?

[wheat field]

I've been up for eight hours fixing another person's mess at work. Is that one of these antics?

[grizzled frost]

You’d need to install it down the line if you have any issues

[left dove]

Gay generally infers pleasant experiences

[tidal geyser]

you just press 2 buttons in amd adrenalin once you need to update again

[south arrow]

The app usually lets you know as you check it or will notify you if you have notifications on. With a list of what the update does* or you can always look up the specific update if curious for a more in depth look

[wheat field]

It'll be pleasant when he gets canned or reprimanded

[ripe sable]

The only issue I have is my ping rn my fps is hitting 600fps in 1080p

[grizzled frost]

I’m having a gay old time drinking tea

[grizzled frost]

ping is largely going to be an issue with your ISP, or how you connect to your router

[wheat field]

My 9070xt arrived @left dove

[sleek ibex]

Speaking of tea, I'm making some cardamom tea RN

[left dove]

nice, I'm making travel plans :D

[grizzled frost]

i’m jealous

[wheat field]

Where you going ?

[left dove]

There's like 8 people I'm gonna go visit up in seattle

[tidal geyser]

7900 xt pc but probs like wifi 5

[ripe sable]

But if I download the drivers my fps won’t be less than it is now?

[left dove]

90% of my friends are in washington its so annoying

[wheat field]

Nice, that's Washington?

[grizzled frost]

i mean theoretically you can still have quite low ping with that

though ethernet would be vastly preferred obviously

[left dove]

train ride up north, spend a week or two with everyone, etc

[tidal geyser]

+far away only using 5ghz and so on

[ripe sable]

Because when I downloaded new drivers for my 4070 which already had drivers downloaded my fps went down

[wheat field]

Just use ethernet tbh. No reason not to when you're on a desktop

[wheat field]

Cool

[tidal geyser]

cool

[grizzled frost]

sometimes it’s not super practical to run a cable from your router to your pc

[south arrow]

Double cool

[wheat field]

Wasn't the drivers

[tidal geyser]

UMMMMM

[south arrow]

[wheat field]

Don't have to. There's ways around that

[left dove]

YEAH its gonna be fun. Some I haven't met in-person yet, and a few will be re-visits from past events

[tidal geyser]

no

[tawdry nest]

so i just ordered an rog pg32ucdm. It has hdmi 2.1 and displayport 1.4a. I have an evga ftw3 rtx 3090, which has dp1.4 and hdmi 2.1. which one should i use with this monitor?

[ripe sable]

It went down after I downloaded them I ran the game

[grizzled frost]

i don’t like powerline adapters

[sleek ibex]

The tea I use

[wheat field]

Fair

[grizzled frost]

bandwidth shits itself if you turn on a noisy device on the same circuit, or even on a different circuit

[wheat field]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

any inductive load and bye bye internet

[ripe sable]

Which drivers should I get then for the 7900xt

[grizzled frost]

moca i can tolerate

[tidal geyser]

I SENT THE FKN LINK

[lethal bay]

The AMD ones

[wheat field]

So don't. Granted I live in china and have always had wired internet installed around the house by professionals

[grizzled frost]

#tech-chat-1 message

[grizzled frost]

Not super common in the US still

[plush wren]

the ones for the 7900 xt

[glass scaffold]

hey all, 5700x vs 5700x3d? is the 100/150 dollar difference justifiable for getting the extra cache on the x3d?

[ripe spire]

does anyone know if u can get a mic boom arm for the yeti x?

[wheat field]

Yikes

[tidal geyser]

gpu?

[ripe sable]

How do I know if which one is right

[wheat field]

I'm sure you can

[glass scaffold]

7900xt

[tidal geyser]

what games do you play?

[grizzled frost]

usually you’ll have coax to major rooms, but ethernet isn’t common

[tidal geyser]

100% 5700X3D

[plush wren]

why not

[ripe spire]

its just such a BEEFY, HEAVY ass mic, id be surprised if theres that much choice on what there is to hold all that weight

[grizzled frost]

so moca can be a good option if you have coax to the room you need but no ethernet

[tidal geyser]

here in Norway both are not common

[glass scaffold]

again, is that ONLY bcs of the cache? they are both zen 3, have same cores, the x has higher base clock etc

[plush wren]

compass boom arm expensive as shit tho

[tidal geyser]

modern houses do have rj45 ethernet tho

[grizzled frost]

depending on how it’s run you can also use the coax as a pull line for ethernet

[tawdry nest]

help please

[tidal geyser]

well yeah for gaming that extra cache is a MASSIVE benefit like MASSIVE MASSIVE

[grizzled frost]

hdmi 2.1

[wheat field]

Compass radius III. Thank me later

[tawdry nest]

ok thanks

[ripe spire]

why is that a giant circle, what does the circle do

[tawdry nest]

will a calibrite display pro hl colorimeter work with my 4k 240hz qd-oled?\

[tidal geyser]

well its a color gradiong thingy for displays?

[wheat field]

Pins, my guy or gal

YouTube buddy, YouTube. You can see how it physically works

[wheat field]

Yes

[tawdry nest]

Ok cool

[trim mesa]

Could someone tell me if the integrated graphics on an i5 12600k could be Compatible with DirectX 12 with WDDM 2.0 driver

[ripe spire]

i feel like the shock mount is unnecesary

[tidal geyser]

first one 100% the other one uh

[trim mesa]

Because I’m gonna use my gpu to bypass the windows 11 requirements then remove the graphics card once it’s installed. Do you think that would work?

[south arrow]

You should only use the chipset drivers for that cpu.

[tidal geyser]

what???

[left dove]

yes it will be fine

[tidal geyser]

bypass what you have all the support?

[left dove]

also windows activation doesn't work like that

[trim mesa]

I just not too sure exactly what I’m doing but it says you need a gpu for windows 11

Also I’m upgrading from 10 to 11 through windows not installing it for the first time

[left dove]

yeah, you have one, the one in the cpu

[tidal geyser]

no?

well you do need something to be able to see

[left dove]

windows doesn't like headless

[tidal geyser]

but you do not need a Dgpu

[left dove]

unless correct env

[trim mesa]

Ok how do I update then

[tidal geyser]

you just install windows 11

[left dove]

Google.

[trim mesa]

Ok I think I’m doing it

[tidal geyser]

usb stick 8GB+ install windows installer to it then boot into it from bios then reinstall windows and wipe the old drive to put windows 11 on it

So a couple days ago i switched from a 256gb ssd to a 1tb ssd and downgraded to windows 10 again bcs i like it more then 11. Games run on the normal fps like before but very rarely on fortnite it freezes for like half a second. I just don't understand why could it be the ssd or is it windows 10?

Never had issues with windows 10 before though

And it even ran smooth when i installed it on my hdd before

[rigid fjord]

check the antialiasing settings

[faint mirage]

drivers too

[graceful meadow]

How can i update all drivers i mean i know how to update nivida drivers and thats about it never really got into it never had any issues before.

Does anyone have any advice / suggestions on this build list? The goal was native 1440p with high FPS. Aesthetics were low priority.

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/brytonp10/saved/v8jyVn#compatibility_notes

[tidal geyser]

990 pro is not good for the price and no you do not need a 1200W platinum psu

[rigid fjord]

tbh, should have gone with a 7600x, sn580/sn770 for ssd and you'd only need a decent 750-850w psu

[violet robin]

I need help with windows setup plz

[acoustic mantle]

The psu was bought new off of fb marketplace

[south arrow]

Is the 9100 pro good? I kinda want one kinda dont

[acoustic mantle]

Figured $100 for the psu wasn’t bad because I can use it in my next build as well

[tidal geyser]

for tbh anything a basic sn580 or something is plenty

[rigid fjord]

yeah, that wasn't new if it's from fb mp

[acoustic mantle]

Were you there?

[tidal geyser]

so that psu has 12vhpwer

[acoustic mantle]

Nah it doesn’t

It’s a model from a few years ago

[rigid fjord]

i don't have to be, a new hx1200 is around $200

[acoustic mantle]

But it was in the A tier on the new psu tier list

[tidal geyser]

there are like 750-850w for 90$

[acoustic mantle]

Yeah looking back I should’ve passed on the psu, it was a slight impulse buy. I guess I can sell it if I really need to but what’s the point now

It’ll work for my current build

The people I bought it from also sold me a 3090, which I then sold from there

[tidal geyser]

what were the specs of your old pc

[acoustic mantle]

I’ve had a few pcs. My 2nd to most recent was a 4080 and a 13700k. But what I’m using now is some old parts slapped together haha. It’s a 5600x and a 1660Ti

I got the 4080 for $575 😭

[empty quartz]

Today I learned that you can use an external rgb mechanical keyboard with the ifon 16 pro max :3

[tidal geyser]

what

[acoustic mantle]

I didn’t buy it online. I bought it in person from someone off of fb martketplace. That’s how I got it for $100

[tidal geyser]

so you went from a 13700k and 4080 to a 5600x and 1660 ti?

[acoustic mantle]

Yeah lmao

[tidal geyser]

you could also just slap the 9070 xt with the current build

[acoustic mantle]

I built that entire pc for like 1200

[tidal geyser]

that bad

[rigid fjord]

which means you got it secondhand, not new like you initially stated

[acoustic mantle]

I’m gonna use the 5600x for my server

[acoustic mantle]

Sure dude

[acoustic mantle]

I did make some decent money off of the 4080 build. But I do miss it

[tidal geyser]

why sell it

[trail forum]

lol Alienware dropped the Area 51 desktop pc here in Australia price wise it’s like 7k starting price 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[acoustic mantle]

I just needed money at the time

[trail forum]

[tidal geyser]

fair enough

[trail forum]

7.5k for 5080 16gb ram 1tb ssd and a core ultra 7 cpu

Literally no airflow

Gamers nexus would have a field day with that pc

[acoustic mantle]

I bet the only people buying Alienware are rich old guys who still think Alienware is top tier

[junior valve]

theres a gap plus 5080s doesnt run hot

[tidal geyser]

it uses more power then a 4080 😐

[junior valve]

like 10w more

4080 was already a chill card for

[trail forum]

The rear io is like 4/5 usb type c 6 usbs and shit

Can’t wait to upgrade my pc tho

[tidal geyser]

XD

[trail forum]

7700k and 1060 gpu I’m still rocking here in 2025

[tidal geyser]

more like 40w+ more

[junior valve]

dell makes pretty reasonable coolers so its should be fine

[tidal geyser]

you are joking right?

[junior valve]

watch gamer nexus review on the 3090 dell

[tidal geyser]

one gpu 😐

have you also watched the reviews of the alienware computers they make

[trail forum]

Haha gamers nexus did the review on those Alienware Aurora pcs thought it was hilarious

[tidal geyser]

they made A good card

[junior valve]

they haven’t review the newer one yet so idk

[tidal geyser]

the rest are utter dogshit

[junior valve]

3090 , 350w close enough

[tidal geyser]

so the 5080 is using the same cooler as the 3090?

[outer marlin]

It’s coming along

Also can anyone tell me what to use to clean my monitors

[junior valve]

prob the bigger 3 fan one like the dell 4090

[proud jay]

I just use a micro fibre cloth to clean mine

[tidal geyser]

a cleaning cloth with a dash of soap and some hot water

well microfiber for the monitors

[formal sonnet]

I use /r/whoosh and a microfiber to clean my monitors.
https://whoosh.com/collections/shop-all/products/go-xl

[tidal geyser]

if you have that

[tidal geyser]

this is what apple uses @outer marlin

[frail delta]

Used*

[tidal geyser]

dam

what do they use now and why did they change?

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/the-arch-linux-team-is-now-working-directly-with-valve-steamos-and-arch-should-both-benefit-greatly

[tidal geyser]

SHIIIIIIT i did not mean to stay this late up

[gusty wagon]

??????

[tidal geyser]

its 3:24

[tidal geyser]

o hell yes

[frail delta]

Ask Apple

[tulip sparrow]

9:25pm for me lol

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/awake-im-awake-im-up-waking-up-just-waking-up-gif-17567905378229855665

[frail delta]

Apple recommends water

[tidal geyser]

but their stores uses that stuff

at least from what i know and been told

not heard about them changing it

[frail delta]

From tiktoks that just happen to have an amazon affiliate link to it?

[tidal geyser]

i do not have nor have had tiktok

[tidal geyser]

cool so i was not really wrong

[frail delta]

I would say it's debatable

[formal sonnet]

Ah, yes, I too use hard water to clean all my electronics. /s

Hey, wait, why are my screens all permanently dirty? 😡 Apple lied to me!

[tidal geyser]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/830516974521679905/1178809416502493254/togif.gif

[frail delta]

These are more "Apple Approved™️" than Whoosh

[tidal geyser]

nice

[hexed tapir]

I use tap water to clean my monitors

[tidal geyser]

i do too but with soap

[frail delta]

Just don't get them dirty

[ashen tangle]

maybe???

[frail delta]

That's my strategy lol

[hexed tapir]

I get a clean sock get it wet in the sink and clean them, then dry it with a different clean sock

[mellow shadow]

Step 1 get a clean microfiber cloth
Step 2 spray it with water (preferably distilled)
Step 3 wipe your monitor (if you need more water spray a little extra on the cloth)

Enjoy your clean monitor

[oblique terrace]

So much crap 😭

[tidal geyser]

no modern systems there

i am able to tell what gen a intel cpu is from just by the sticker

[oblique terrace]

Asus laptop...

Most modern thing

It was also all free

[tidal geyser]

ok yeah the asus laptop is modern but what cpu?

[oblique terrace]

Celeron

I haven't booted it for the numbers

[tidal geyser]

knew it

yeah no those are not great

[oblique terrace]

There are also a few water coolers and radiators

[tidal geyser]

broken

or missing the parts needed to use it

[oblique terrace]

Nope, just used

[tidal geyser]

o well i need to go to bed considering its almost 4am for me

thank god for the weekend

[oblique terrace]

I'll be up for the next few days fixing as much as I can

[empty quartz]

im fucking lost rn

[tidal geyser]

i can do 4hrs of sleep but 3 and under i do not work anymore

[tidal geyser]

are you trying to download the crew?

[empty quartz]

no

it wants me to update it

[tidal geyser]

heading out now

[empty quartz]

idk why, considering the update im on was the after they shut it down

[vivid pendant]

I can do 2 hours, 4 hours and 6-7 hours anything more then I need 12

In between doesn't work well either

[left dove]

Meow.

[limber nacelle]

meooooooow

[left dove]

Ennui hello

[smoky heart]

guys is it worth going to win 11 ? or should i just format my pc

[left dove]

the new trend is no os

just wipe

[smoky heart]

bcs i prob got viruses lol my pc is bugging

[hexed tapir]

Windows 10 dies in October

[smoky heart]

when i use to use win 7 like a few years ago i wanted to switch from 10 but now i want 10 not 11

[hexed tapir]

To bad 😞

[smoky heart]

damn i hope my fps dont drop

my pc already not good

[limber nacelle]

henlo

[thorn pewter]

Long boi

[smoky heart]

gforce gaming

[frank pasture]

My work gave me points. Should I buy this motherboard? Or just get ram 32 gbs

I’m on AM4 rn I had my pc for 2 years I want to upgrade to am5 so

[coarse grotto]

wonder how long we have to wait till the sourcecode for that magicly leaks so companies that cannot upgrade can do their own patching (like with xp and 2003 server)

[limber nacelle]

sweet

[violet kraken]

so my pc needs a new cmos battery does anything work or do some have better performance or something

[limber nacelle]

any cr2032 would work

[violet kraken]

alright also is it like an urgent repair? ik it resets my bios but i dont mind

[limber nacelle]

not really but, i'd do it cause it's annoying

the bios reseting

[frail delta]

I like CR2032+, it's a subscription service that provides better performance from your CMOS battery

[violet kraken]

been letting it happen for like a year plus now

[south arrow]

Duracell cr2032 or even amazon I guess should be fine

[violet kraken]

my fan curves are default anyways i dont really mind

actually nah imma replace it its been like 2 years 🤦‍♂️

plus mine is very very easy to access 😂 so replacing it wont be hard which is good because im not too good at this stuff

[outer marlin]

She’s almost done

[cyan bay]

how much would b650, and ryzen 5 7600 and 32gb ddr5 cost?

[outer marlin]

I need a get windows 11 and cable manage

[solar moat]

depends

[violet kraken]

i like how the usb ports are on the side looks nice man

[solar moat]

$350 usd

[cyan bay]

alr

[solar moat]

why do you ask?

[solar moat]

since i was looking at OEM sorts of prices

[outer marlin]

thx

[cyan bay]

planning on saving uo

[frank pasture]

300

[sick pollen]

costs double that in my country lol

[frank pasture]

Dang I’m sorry

[gleaming rose]

i could never go to a chiropractor

[gleaming rose]

closer to 400

[bleak ledge]

Is this error because the servers have been shut down for this version of Teamviewer?

[left dove]

uh, yes.

[bleak ledge]

Damn, will have the try and use terminal services to connect I guess

[verbal prawn]

peyton how do i explain to my mom that taiwan is infact not inside of china

[sinful cobalt]

was thinking of considering a switch to the hyte y70 but H6 flow has better thermals
Main problem I have is that the radiator is huge, it kinda blocks the cpu connection

[lament tartan]

Use a map?

[haughty grotto]

Recommended PSU wattage to power ONLY a 9070 XT?

[verbal prawn]

and that they yes do speak chinese there

[lament tartan]

Does she happen to think that Hong Kong is inside of China

Because if she doesn't that would be really funny...

[verbal prawn]

no

[lament tartan]

HAHA

[verbal prawn]

she used to live in guangzhou

which makes it even more funny

[lament tartan]

LOOOL

Okay so the nation that is not inside of China is inside of China and the nation state that is inside of China is not inside of China

Show her a map

And then show her a map of the Taiwan economic exclusion zone

[verbal prawn]

I don't think she knows what an EEZ is

[lament tartan]

It would be a perfect time to show her just how much Taiwan is not in China

"we even have this extra map border!"

[haughty compass]

genuine question, would any of these cpu's be better than the 2nd pentium in the list?

[ionic rock]

If she’s Chinese national you’re basically trying to overcome narrative bias as strong as trying to convince an American that the federal government isn’t just stealing their money and burning it.

[verbal prawn]

no she steright up doesn't know what taiwan is

and she is a chinese national

[haughty compass]

would the wolfdale core 2 duo be the best option?

is there a performance different between the intel core and wolfdale core?

[gleaming rose]

yeah

wtf is a wolfdale

[sinful cobalt]

If I want to add an external power switch to the PC, but the case connection for the PC case to the motherboard is already all in 1, is it not possible to add it?

[solid crown]

I mean you could just unplug it but if you want to keep it plugged in, you could daisy chain it

would require you to modify the wiring though

[sinful cobalt]

im pretty sure the case fans are also connected through that 1 cable from the case

[lament tartan]

Wire it in parallel*

Y split the wire(s)

[solid crown]

how would you wire in parallel without modifying the wiring

[lament tartan]

If you D-chain it you would have to press all of it at once

[solid crown]

ohh I see what you mean lol

yeah I meant parallel mb

[solid crown]

that shouldnt be the case

[lament tartan]

You would actually want the reverse of this. One female to two males but yeah this

[sinful cobalt]

Im using the H6 flow

[solid crown]

seems right to me

[solid crown]

the case fans are controlled by the mobo

they arent connected to the power switch cable

[strange atlas]

i dont remember what this is but feels so nostalgic and i remember using it too much what is this

[lament tartan]

Y split cable for Dupont pins

[solid crown]

you probably remember it most from an arduino starter kit

[lament tartan]

That would make sense

[strange atlas]

oh right thats where it is from

[sinful cobalt]

What are they controlled by?

[solid crown]

the motherboard via fan headers

[strange atlas]

wasnt that nostalgic i guess :d

though its been 4 years thats crazy time passes by really quick

[solid crown]

4 years is not long at all but also very long

[strange atlas]

NO way

i will have an ssd man i feel so freaking good

[strange atlas]

it will be first time ssd in my life

[sinful cobalt]

The only connections I rmb is some usb header and the f panel header

unless at the right side of the mobo 1 is the case fans which idk

[bleak ledge]

Probably one of the biggest upgrades you can make relative to the cost

[sinful cobalt]

its not pwm therre tho

[strange atlas]

i feel like %1 lows are too low cause i'm still on hdd i hope it fixes that

[bleak ledge]

Probably

Before SSDs I used to run four HDDs in RAID 0 for my OS to make it less painful lol

[strange atlas]

cause like i have r5 5600 and rx6800 but i'm still gettng stutters in games like valorant or cs2 its not thermal throttling too i have thermalright phantom assassin cooler

[bleak ledge]

There's no way it's your hardware, then

[strange atlas]

i run normal 7200rpm hdd to run my system before this i was using 5400rpm

[bleak ledge]

Not unless you've got something seriously misconfigured

[bleak ledge]

Yikes

[strange atlas]

didnt change anything

guess ill see it today

oh shoot its already 8 a.m

[bleak ledge]

Are you going to clone your existing install to the SSD or reinstall from scratch?

[solid crown]

idk what those are but your fans might be molex

those turn off when the PSU detects your pc is sleeping

or however that works I dont really know

it still doesnt get controlled by that cable though

[bleak ledge]

This takes me back

Surprised this is on the Server version of Windows 2000

[solid crown]

damn

used to play that as a kid cause the computer we had wasnt connected to wifi or something

had to connect with AOL online or some crap but never set it up

[bleak ledge]

I used to play it during my school lessons

They were still running XP right up until the release of 10

[solid crown]

also used to play "speedy eggbert"

dont mind that image lmfao

came with the free trial of wildtangent I believe

[bleak ledge]

Ah

That thing HP and Acer bundled on every PC they sold

[solid crown]

yup

[strange atlas]

it is fresh install that i'm usign currentyl so i will probably use brand new system now

[solid crown]

played FATE too, pretty good arpg tbh

[bleak ledge]

Sounds good. Hope you get your 1% lows fixed.

[bleak ledge]

I've heard of that, but never played it.

[strange atlas]

thanks

By the way does anybody knows i have an mechanical keyboard that when i press r button it flies off

But keycap doesnt have a crack inside

or the switch

[sinful cobalt]

kk ill try

[bleak ledge]

Sometimes the plastic just wears down over time

[solid crown]

pretty fun to go at for a couple hours

[bleak ledge]

The Mypal developers are a bit stingy with the bandwidth, lol.

[vestal owl]

people said that 3050 and 3060 are always trash... why?

[dapper light]

3060 is not trash

It's near equivalent to 1080ti

It's just that they're often overpriced

A good buy if you can get it for like 200 bucks

[split laurel]

Pricing

It's all about pricing

The 3060 is good but at a used price but there are better alternatives like the a750,b580,and 6650xt

[split laurel]

Right at $200 it's not bad but you can still get a used a750 or spend more and get a new b570

[dapper light]

A750 is shit if it's at equal price to the 3060

[split laurel]

It's not I used it for 5 months

[dapper light]

It is shit

In many ways

[split laurel]

I seen them for $180 all the time

Or spend a little more and get a b570 it's around 4060 performance definitely better then a 3060

[dapper light]

A750 is below 3060 in every gaming metric

Has 4GB less VRAM

[left dove]

y'r a gaming metric

[dapper light]

Raster and RT, in every resolution

[split laurel]

Actually no

[dapper light]

Source: LTT's B580 benchmark which includes A750

[split laurel]

The a750 beats the 3060 in alot of games

[neat flame]

B850 would be fire ngl

[neat flame]

the gpu not the motherboard

[split laurel]

I've only heard b750,770,and 980

[dapper light]

You were saying?

Other than performance being slightly slower.
You also have higher power usage

[neat flame]

B980? damn

[dapper light]

Unless you can get a significant discount on it, 3060 anyday

[split laurel]

Yeah but don't forget the b570

It's more yeah

[dapper light]

I have only talked about the A750

There's a reason I didn't say about the B570

Because it is actually good, unlike A750

Which shouldn't even be in the same sentence as B570 and 3060

[split laurel]

Yeah again tho the a750 is cheaper

[teal agate]

is the 7800 xt that much worse than 9070

[dapper light]

You get what you paid for

[neat flame]

yea

9070 performs like a 7900xt

[dapper light]

Cheaper is only relevant if they're going after A750's price point.
But if they're willing to spend more for better performance, it's irrelevant

[split laurel]

Yeah and RT performance is way worse

[teal agate]

cause i wanted a gpu around 500-550 but they said they were gonna increase the price

[split laurel]

Right it was a good card when the 3060 new was like $280 and it's new price was $200

[split laurel]

It will

[dapper light]

9070 is just that good

[teal agate]

do u know by how much?

[split laurel]

35% or more I think

[dapper light]

Back when the 3060 was newer
A750 was plagued with first generation driver issues

[teal agate]

ok nvm thats wayyy too much

[split laurel]

And it can actually ray trace

[teal agate]

ill go with the 7800 xt lol

[split laurel]

How much is it?

[teal agate]

i found a white xfx one for 560

[dapper light]

7800xt is like 4070S performance while 9070XT is closer to 4080S

[teal agate]

or a black 2 fan for 520

[split laurel]

No it's not

With a OC mabey

But it's worse then 5070ti

Factory and the 5070ti isn't even 4080S

[teal agate]

ok but what about the 9070 cause isnt quite a bit worse

[split laurel]

The 9070 isn't that much worse

It's way better then a 5070 or 4070S

[teal agate]

i heard like 10-15 %

[split laurel]

I haven't looked into it that much but something like that

If you can get one tho

[teal agate]

yea but if the price increases by 35% that means over $200 😦

[latent pasture]

more like 4%

[teal agate]

thats not too bad

[latent pasture]

its at 4k that the difference becomes major

[teal agate]

if i could get it for 550 id buy it

[split laurel]

Yeah I was like there's no way a 9070xt is 4080S

[teal agate]

but theyre sold out so i cant

[dapper light]

No, they were saying 35% performance increase not price

[split laurel]

I will OC mine to be more like 5070ti and 4080 perf

[split laurel]

Yeah

[teal agate]

oh how much is the price increase then

[split laurel]

I haven't heard yet

[latent pasture]

in like 1 or 2 games it is but yeah if u avg the data its not
ppl r just getting hyped with the screenshots of 1 test

[split laurel]

Right

Because average it's just under 5070ti

By like 4 or 5 fps

Without RT

[teal agate]

well... so ig i gotta wait

[split laurel]

I played that game till yesterday

[teal agate]

but i feel like it will take forever to get them back in stock

[split laurel]

I'm just happy the 9070xt RTs like a 5070

[teal agate]

it is?

[latent pasture]

even that isnt consistent

[teal agate]

i thought it was like a generation behind

[split laurel]

Shhhhhhh

Yeah but it's something over 7000 and 6000

[teal agate]

yea

now it can run those rtx remakes

[split laurel]

Like my friends 6800 in mc 1080p max render and RT on only got like 8 fps

My 3090 got in 1440p like 60 to 75

Even at $750 the 9070xt isn't that bed it's still better then a 7900xt and the 5070ti is $850+

I haven't seen a 5070ti under $850 since launch

Only $850,$900,and $999

[teal agate]

but what if u need a $500 gpu

if the 9070 isnt 550 anymore

[split laurel]

Time

[teal agate]

whats the best option

[split laurel]

Uhhhh that's a great question not easy to answer

[limber nacelle]

explode

either get your funny up or buy something within your budget

idk what you want people to say

[teal agate]

yea but whats the best option

[split laurel]

You could just get a 7800xt or wait save and get 9070

[sinful cobalt]

I cant tell what the case fans use, but I just plugged the external power switch in instead of the front panel and it does work. However now, my lianli gala mirror isnt showing the RGB (not that i care abt rgb)

[limber nacelle]

great question with no one answer

[split laurel]

Mabey a used 6800xt or 6900xt

[limber nacelle]

that is up to YOU to decide

[split laurel]

I haven't looked at there prices tho in like 2 weeks

[teal agate]

i dont really wanna spend any more money on a gpu so i think ill go with the 7800 xt

[limber nacelle]

personally I'd hold off on buying a gpu atm

[split laurel]

Yeah

[limber nacelle]

everything except the 9070/xt is overpriced as shit

both used AND new

[teal agate]

not really

[limber nacelle]

ha

[teal agate]

the 7600 is alright

[split laurel]

This all happened in like 1 month 😭

[limber nacelle]

well, everything worth buying

[teal agate]

most stuff is but not everything

the 7800 xt isnt

[split laurel]

For now

[limber nacelle]

how much is it?

[teal agate]

it used to be out of stock or marked up but i think sice the 9070 launched its back

i saw it for 520

[limber nacelle]

dude

[split laurel]

Until people like you buy them all and there's no stock

Btw I mean people that want to get a card rn and not wait not trying to be rude or anything

[limber nacelle]

that is overpriced as hell

[teal agate]

thats msrp

[limber nacelle]

I would not buy a 7800xt when the 9070 exists for 550

[sinful cobalt]

at 140w, my 9800x3d seems to be capping at around 76 degrees, I dont think I need to worry abt my LL gala AIO not functioning properly

[limber nacelle]

ok and...? still bad relative value

[teal agate]

they dont tho

theyre all out of stock and when they come back in stock theyll be a price increase

[limber nacelle]

not right now

[split laurel]

Not ever

[sinful cobalt]

Here in SGP, 7800xt cheapest price is arnd $650 SGD, 9070 sits at $900+ and XT at $1009+

[split laurel]

They're going to raise the prices

[sinful cobalt]

msrp models

[limber nacelle]

ahhhh classic amd

shooting themselves in the foot

why have market share when you can just be greedy as fuck.....

[split laurel]

Wait so I can sell my 9070xt and make like $200 because of taxs

[limber nacelle]

gross

[split laurel]

Well there's 0 competition

Rn

[dusty dew]

The competition is iGPU

[split laurel]

I bet they will lower prices if Nvidia figures there shit out

[dusty dew]

igpu supremacy

[split laurel]

Never

[limber nacelle]

despite that, I am of the opinion that they should capitalize on nvidia's blunder and win some mindshare away from them

do you know how unpopular amd gpus are?

[split laurel]

They should

[limber nacelle]

go look at steam hw survey

[split laurel]

Ik I look all the time it makes me sad

[limber nacelle]

tell me what is the highest percentage owned radeon card, and what percent and spot it's at

its the 6600(nonXT) iirc

[split laurel]

Isn't it the rx580

[limber nacelle]

more people own the fuckin

[split laurel]

Ah

4090

[limber nacelle]

4090 than it

[limber nacelle]

yes

[split laurel]

Called it I've said this before

It's so sad

[limber nacelle]

see that's my point

amd can't fucking stop shooting themselves in the foot

[split laurel]

Yeah I've made it it's a very good and sad one lol

[dusty dew]

new iGPU is getting close to dgpu

so its never a never

[split laurel]

No matter how much Nvidia fucks up no one will rly care

[dusty dew]

also I hate drawing Airconditioning unit power

[limber nacelle]

different market

[split laurel]

Took long enough

[dusty dew]

it will eventually merge

[limber nacelle]

doubt

[dusty dew]

given that dgpu power draw is getting ridiculous

[limber nacelle]

ok and?

[dusty dew]

600w for a gpu? thats ac unit power draw

[limber nacelle]

you think the people out there buying 5090s give a shit

[split laurel]

Don't you want rly fast ram for igpus?

[limber nacelle]

[dusty dew]

soldered ram

[dapper light]

Yea this 600w GPU is also like 40x faster...

[teal agate]

im back

[dusty dew]

rn, but in 10 years that 600w is for mid range gpu

[dapper light]

Just laws of physics, iGPU will never be as fast as whatever "current gpu" of the future is

[split laurel]

Fr

in 10 yrs we might not have gpus

[lament tartan]

There is only so much wattage you can pull from a 15 amp outlet honestly

They are running out of room

[dusty dew]

yeeep

next up: direct outlet power

[vale wing]

would a rx 6600 to a rx 7600 xt be worth it

[limber nacelle]

so like, here's the thing - even if, and I emphasize if igpus become as fast as higher end gpus, there will probably be a market for people who just require more gpu computer

whether that's for AI, 3d rendering via gpu, etc

[lament tartan]

I did this for a little while in my garage

[split laurel]

And there's only so much room in that cpu without making it to expensive and hot

[lament tartan]

Flex conduit

It actually wouldn't help with amperage

[teal agate]

good thing i dont do any of those thigs

[latent pasture]

save ur money

[dusty dew]

we do know that too, but it means mobile devices like laptops and steamdecks that are as powerful as gaming pc will be a thing

[solid crown]

weird

[lament tartan]

You also need to consider the fact that you are using about 300 Watts of power between all of your peripherals and monitors

[limber nacelle]

I think there will always be a market for dgpu even if igpus become the norm one day

[teal agate]

bigger

[lament tartan]

Sometimes even way more

[split laurel]

Not how it works

[dusty dew]

oh yes, only smaller market and specialized, but there will be

[lament tartan]

The truth is you only really have about 7 to 10 amps of working room

[teal agate]

more room = better

[split laurel]

When you make them bigger it's way way more expensive to produce

[split laurel]

And way way more expensive and hard to make

[latent pasture]

wtf kinda monitor and perifs do u have

[sinful cobalt]

yea the mirror rgb isnt showing

[ember inlet]

bruh windows file explorer has officially shit itself this is so dumb

[dusty dew]

Intel should be investing in a new gpu architecture that isnt using nvidia model

[split laurel]

If that was the case cpus would already be big

[teal agate]

well eventually theyll drop right?

[lament tartan]

Go look at the specs on your monitor and TV

[tired path]

correct me if im wrong pls
1060 < 1650 super < rx 580 < 1660 < 1660 super < 1070

[solid crown]

should work if you do the parallel wiring thing though

[vale wing]

would a rx 6600 to a rx 7600 xt be worth it

[split laurel]

No

[vale wing]

oops

[lament tartan]

It's basically a flashlight

[dusty dew]

since this squeeze will force them into new architecture, and having a headstart is good

[lament tartan]

It puts out a ton of power

[teal agate]

no price drop 😦

[split laurel]

Actually because it's how silicone is made

[cosmic stratus]

FUCK YOU OPEN GL

[ember inlet]

1070 is fire i ran one for a while like a year ago

[sinful cobalt]

as in?

[split laurel]

Want me to dm you I can go into full detail

[dusty dew]

aaand 780m = 1650

[teal agate]

ok

[sinful cobalt]

For the fpanel connector there I placed my thing on top left, Power+ Power- Power SW

[lament tartan]

On the power adapter itself

[latent pasture]

ill go look at my (broken) tv brb

[latent pasture]

theres no power adapter

[solid crown]

@sinful cobalt

[latent pasture]

theres just a wire that comes out and goes to socket

[lament tartan]

Double check with the sticker says against that information

Usually that kind of stuff does not consider loss at the transformer

[sinful cobalt]

I dont get wym

[tired path]

so i am right?

[lament tartan]

Which is really annoying because legally it should

Also on the stickers they only have to consider typical consumption not if you like flashbang yourself and try to output maximum power

They also don't consider things like having G-Sync on which enables the co-processor

[latent pasture]

amd went from 880m doing gtx 1650 tier to 8060s matching 4060

[solid crown]

external and case connector fit into the double end, then you put the single connector on the mobo

[sinful cobalt]

nvm i think i found the solution

apparently the aio is linked to one the fpanel case connector

I need to plug the usb directly into the mobo

[latent pasture]

i mean the monitor is from like 2009

theres no info on the back either

whats the power consumption of the typical 1080p semi high hz monitor that most ppl use anyway

[dusty dew]

yes mostly

[dusty dew]

its fun that my 30k office laptop is same performance as a gaming laptop from 3-4 years ago

[oak cove]

Yo im trying to move a file to another folder but it says this

[ember inlet]

depends on type of backlight and quality of the power supply

[oak cove]

what can i do

[ember inlet]

tough to say

[oak cove]

can anyone help

[solid crown]

considering its the temp folder the file probably doesnt exist anymore

[formal sonnet]

Without more information, we'd just be guessing. Where is the file located? Where are you trying to move it to? Why are you using WinRAR to move files instead of Windows Explorer?

[latent pasture]

smh do u not move files by zipping them in the target folder then extracting them there

[ember inlet]

bro what's it doing

multiple restarts later and a windows update

it's just broken

[oak cove]

i just extracted before moving the file and it worked thanks

[oak cove]

twin i do not know anything abt pcs i just play games

why u think im in here

[left dove]

Holy shit my upload got a HUGE bump

thanks xfinity!

[ember inlet]

omg it's just breaking more

[iron glen]

i need one of that

[ember inlet]

oh god it's getting worse by the second

[left dove]

I could actually like

host services now

[oak cove]

tuff

[teal agate]

do u think its worth it to get a refurb case

[thorn pewter]

Yes why not, buy it used to save even more

Cases are like one of the least needed part (not aesthetically) but it can be almost anything

[teal agate]

if i bought it refurbed from newegg will it have scratches on the side pannel

[thorn pewter]

The ATX standard haven't changed in 30 years

So yeah it well not affect preformance at all

[teal agate]

ok ill consider it

[solid crown]

might as well find one used on a marketplace

[thorn pewter]

(well except for stuff like it on the case then that could differ but in most cases yeah

[teal agate]

do side pannels scratch easily?

[thorn pewter]

Sometimes

Depends on the material

[left dove]

if you treat 'em like shit, yes

[thorn pewter]

It's not universal

But like normal use cases it will probably not scratch easily

[teal agate]

so if i buy one refurbed it probably wont?

[thorn pewter]

Probably yeah

[teal agate]

or should i just spend the extra $18

[thorn pewter]

Don't, it's not worth it tbh

[formal sonnet]

Only the seller can answer that. None of us have any means of knowing.

[teal agate]

its from the case manufacuaer

[vale wing]

i need a quick second of attention

[thorn pewter]

Just replaced the panel with titanium steel alloy and it won't scratch at all👍

[vale wing]

is rx 6600 -> rx 7600xt worth it upgrade wise

[dusty dew]

wow fsr is decent

[thorn pewter]

Yeah

[vale wing]

i think I'll buy the 7600xt and then have my 6600 as a backup

or maybe sell the 6600

[teal agate]

look up a comparisen video for games u play

see if the diffrence is substantiol enough for u

[teal agate]

if not think about the 6700 xt

[solid crown]

how much you spending on it

[vale wing]

haven't bought one yet but its the cheapest decent card brand new

I just like having the added safety of being able to return it

[solid crown]

but whats the price youre paying

[vale wing]

I think $300(?)
