[teal agate]

do u think u need an upgrade?

[solid crown]

I mean its not terrible for a card with warranty but not worth the upgrade tbh

30% isnt that big of a jump

[vale wing]

yeah but I'd like to play in 1440p smoother

[solid crown]

you could easily find a 3070 for $300 used

and that would be a 60% jump

[teal agate]

or a 6700 xt

[vale wing]

I'd prefer to jump atleast up one generation if im gonna upgrade

[solid crown]

even if its a lower uplift? lol

[teal agate]

generation doesnt really mean anything

[vale wing]

the reason i say that isn't for performance

im thinking longer run when support begins getting cut out for 60 series cards and 30 series cards

which won't be for a hot minute i get but

[solid crown]

youll upgrade a long time before that happens

[teal agate]

yea especially if ur already upgrading from 6000

[vale wing]

idk times starting to creep up

[teal agate]

its not tho lol

[vale wing]

60 series is what five years old

[solid crown]

just not worth the upgrade for 30%

I mean nvidia 1000 series JUST lost support and thats 9 years old

and they still work just fine

[vale wing]

yeah fair enough

[teal agate]

exactly

[south arrow]

The series x true purpose

[teal agate]

yes to warm ur switch lite

[vale wing]

i think I'll go with the 6750xt, now before you say just go with the 6800 or 6800xt they've suddenly gotten a shit ton more expensive????

the 6750xt is like...$290 I think brand new?

[teal agate]

great choice if u can get it for that price

where r u buying it from for that price

[solid crown]

yeah gpu market is inflated currently

[teal agate]

i really wanted something around the 7700 xt price but theyre all inflated

so probably gonna go with a 7800 xt instead

[vale wing]

my stupid ass is so out of it, I got my hands on a 6750xt for $290 back during black friday sales, my computer went bust and i sent it back to amazon incase it got fried

now a 6750xt is fucking $400???

my luck is so ass

[teal agate]

yea...

[solid crown]

just wait bro

[teal agate]

was like 310 less than a month ago

[vale wing]

i got a decent setup as is right now

[teal agate]

even less used

[solid crown]

hopefully tariffs dont ruin everything though

even if there is plenty of nvidia and amd stock tariffs might keep prices elevated

[teal agate]

dont have high hopes

[vale wing]

-rx 6600
-r7 5700x
-32gb ddr4
-1 tb nvme

i dont think im cooked for awhile

[solid crown]

yeah thats a fine setup

[vale wing]

it works good as a high settings 1080p rig im happy with it

i got it as a prebuilt for christmas about 2 years ago

[solid crown]

its really only cause FSR sucks that you have an issue

Im running a 3060 and its 7% faster and I can run games at 1440p ultrawide

just use dlss balanced on everything lol

[teal agate]

yea but 6000 has fsr 3

[solid crown]

probably could use quality with 1440p non ultrawide

[clever scaffold]

FSR 3 is pretty good.

[solid crown]

yeah 😔

It was this pc but iirc it was like $750 when they got it

holy fucking link dude

[teal agate]

dang u got a refrence gpu

[elder quarry]

Meh

[vale wing]

im gonna probably just stick with my 6600 until i notice i cant play any of my games at a decent quality

[solid crown]

wow thats so good

[elder quarry]

THE LINK

[teal agate]

honestly i think the refrence gpus are better than nvidias founders cards

[clever scaffold]

Just dont stare at it.

[solid crown]

FSR 4 for comparison

[teal agate]

its not that bad

[clever scaffold]

Im fine with either of those.

[solid crown]

I mean jesus christ bro, looks like 360p

[teal agate]

whats dlss look like

[left dove]

imagine a game

but supersampled

[elder quarry]

What game

[left dove]

any game

[junior valve]

is that liquid?

[vale wing]

solid prebuilt tho 7.5/10

[teal agate]

i think its in performance mode

[solid crown]

not sure other than "much better" since this was a fsr 3 vs 4 video

[left dove]

thats the magic

[clever scaffold]

Unlike DF, Im not playing zoomed in 500%.

[elder quarry]

Probably your snot

Or saliva

[solid crown]

bros just trolling at this point

[teal agate]

huh

[silver heron]

Guys is this okay?

[elder quarry]

Hullo

[elder quarry]

What is ok?

[silver heron]

My first 12HPwR card

[solid crown]

saying FSR 3 is good is just objectively wrong

[silver heron]

I’m scared with the connection

It’s all the way in

[iron glen]

https://tenor.com/view/electro-nwh-lightning-gif-25291301

[teal agate]

why u hating on fsr 3 😭

[solid crown]

cause its shit man?

im just saying if he had a 3060 instead bro would have DLSS 4 quality

[clever scaffold]

cuz bro be trolling. /s

[solid crown]

prolong the lifespan of the gpu

[teal agate]

make sure u dont plug it in all the way to conserve power

[vale wing]

overclock the storage

[solid crown]

DLSS 4 isnt perfect, I can notice it when its on very clearly

so FSR 3 must be nigh unplayable

[south arrow]

I only recommend using the adapter that comes with the card butt looks good

[teal agate]

just agree both are good lol

[solid crown]

its so good AMD themselves had to release a better version -_-

[teal agate]

huhhhhh

what do u call dlss 2 3 and 4

[clever scaffold]

so youre saying dlss is bad too cause nvidia had to release a new version?

[solid crown]

bro hasnt heard of FSR 4?

[teal agate]

wdym

[solid crown]

saying FSR 3 is good and so is DLSS 4 is crazy talk

[south arrow]

Any rtx super graphical pinball games for pc?

[solid crown]

its FSR that uses AI

[vale wing]

ok quick question, would a 6700xt for $310 be worth

[solid crown]

aka, what DLSS 3+ has been using

[teal agate]

look if ur a nvidia fan boy just say it

[solid crown]

did you not see the images I sent that look like 360p

thats how it looks at 4K video quality

[teal agate]

eh for the prices rn its ok

if u need a upgrade go for it

[south arrow]

I forsure am can't say I'm not. AMD and intel are really cool though and I want them to be better

The 9070xt is alright no qualms so far though from what I've seen*

[solid crown]

toxic positivity about amd is not gonna help them guys

they NEEDED FSR 4 this generation

if they didnt release FSR 4, it would be DOA imo

[teal agate]

nah cause the 9070 and xt dont need fsr

[solid crown]

they do lol

its just free FPS

[teal agate]

they dont

[solid crown]

my 4090 needed dlss

[south arrow]

They myte xD

[solid crown]

trust me they need it

[south arrow]

Jokes, but depending on the scenario ❤️

[solid crown]

if youre playing old ahh games at low settings, why are you getting a new gpu lol

[clever scaffold]

tbh, These companys all suck.

[solid crown]

agreed

[teal agate]

yea

[south arrow]

Yeah 3k was not funny for a gpu

Like I feel goofy even just saying that

[solid crown]

I sold my 4090 for almost 3K lmao

[teal agate]

maybe apple can save us with the m chips 😎

[solid crown]

so thanks nvidia for that, got a new dishwasher with the proceeds 😄

[solid crown]

they fr might be our saviors

amd integrated graphics also looking very nice

[teal agate]

yea have u seen theyre new laptops

[south arrow]

Maybe in a few years if competition gets hot who knows

[teal agate]

apples popping off

[neat flame]

yea theyll save us

for anywhere outside of gaming

🙏

[solid crown]

insert smug wojak face

[teal agate]

if apple got better support for stuff id buy for gaming

[fresh nest]

can i have an AMD gpu and still use nvidia app for the shadow player?

[solid crown]

"yeah theyll save us"

sorry for cursed meme format

[teal agate]

maybe just forget getting a pc and get a mcabook

[neat flame]

bro did you read the full message

[solid crown]

you can I guess buy this poster for $11.80

[solid crown]

oh lol

[teal agate]

and a ps5 pro for gaming 😈

[neat flame]

ps5 pro looks like a fire deal compared to 5070

[south arrow]

The pro was temptingg, but gotta budget for switch 2

[clever scaffold]

I like to play more then the 5 games that Macs can run. /s

[neat flame]

ikr

[solid crown]

fr

[teal agate]

the ps5 pro needs a price drop tho

[solid crown]

not keen on paying for online

[teal agate]

then id cop

[solid crown]

plus I like my indie games

[clever scaffold]

does ps5 have kbm support?

[formal sonnet]

No? Shadow Play is an nVidia exclusive technology.

[neat flame]

if anything i think itll inflate

[south arrow]

Facts if the pro was cheaper instead I got a disk normal edition for $370 with a few games

[neat flame]

especially after gta 6 release

[teal agate]

😬

do i sell my pc and buy an open box ps5 pro????

[solid crown]

yes, people have coined the term "sonic inflation" for this rise of graphics processing cost. Look it up for info

[left dove]

god dammit

[south arrow]

Ehhh naaa

[left dove]

this fucking meme

[south arrow]

Don't sell your pc

[left dove]

every time it makes me giggle like a dumbass

[fresh nest]

well then ig imma use my 3060 Ti until it dies

[left dove]

fuck you i almost spit my coffee

[teal agate]

i got a steam deck so i dont really need it

[south arrow]

People get hard up for cash every day keep an eye out locally for a deal ❤️

Ofc if you want it rn I won't tell you how to live

[neat flame]

oh the ps5 pro gpu is like between 9070 and 9070 xt

60 cus

[solid crown]

idk if youre being obtuse on purpose but you couldve worded that better 💀

[still valve]

I had to reseat my ram rn because my pc didnt want to display image but it was working fine yesterday. What could've caused this?

Could my ram be dying?

[south arrow]

Lol people get the need for moneys

Hard up is poor slang

[solid crown]

"bro when your neighbors are struggling to pay for food, purchase their valuables for pennies on the dollar"

[teal agate]

if i get a ps5 pro i might be able to run gta 6 at 60fps 🥹

[still valve]

30fps

[south arrow]

That ps5 pro starts looking good at $400 when a dog needs to eat idk

Js

[teal agate]

sonys cummy as hell tho

charging extra for the disk drive and stand on a $700 console

hold up

[south arrow]

I think they should all come with the drive but I get making a cheaper model so it's kinda cool and also making it available is sooooo convenient for repairs

[teal agate]

did the psvr 2 get a price drop?

[clever scaffold]

Yes

[teal agate]

its 700 it aint cheap lol😭

ok i got it ima sell all my stuff

[south arrow]

I meant like digital models for $100 less or so

Just having that as an option usually is neat

[teal agate]

ima sell my pc steam deck and quest 2 and go all in on the playstation ecosystem

[south arrow]

Vs only a more spendy disk model (I personally only buy disk editions)

[clever scaffold]

I like the convenience of a PC.

[south arrow]

I'm usually pc supreme but lately collected every modern console (not including steam decks and Rogs Allys etc)

[teal agate]

I like the convience of console

thats why steam decks the goat its best of both worlds

[south arrow]

Both certainly serve there purpose. Bringing my pc to the living room to game with my 4 kids would be chaos

[teal agate]

i think the only console i really need is my steam deck

console/pc

[south arrow]

Buttt using a ps2-ps5 with a Bluetooth controller is noicee

[peak knot]

Psvita is still goated

[teal agate]

who needs a vita when u got the portal!

[south arrow]

I still need to set mine up so many things on the list

[peak knot]

When there’s no internet

[teal agate]

yea jk

steam decks>>>>> tho

[south arrow]

I think the vita was the oled

Yeah sounds right

[peak knot]

Only the 1000 model

[teal agate]

i love oleds

it just pops

[south arrow]

Yuss I also want a 2000 for testing, I was thinking if it was the psp that had it. Hadn't looked at them in awhile since I cleaned them up got a 3000 model recently for a noicee steal

Once the rack gets here and all the consoles are on it I'll have to get a pic

[teal agate]

wait a openbox ps5 is only $240?

from best buy?

[peak knot]

I’ve been playing balatro on my vita

Mines a 1000 model with the oled

[teal agate]

how?

[south arrow]

My guy getss ett

[peak knot]

Someone found how to port the steam version to vita

[teal agate]

danggg

[south arrow]

Amazon was like I sensed you mentioned us

[teal agate]

is it addictive? been thinking about buying it

[peak knot]

Yeah

Worth it

[teal agate]

is it just poker?

[peak knot]

It’s a poker roguelike

[teal agate]

how does that work lol

[peak knot]

Check it out on YouTube basically there an increasing ante and you have to build your deck up with multipliers and modifiers to increase your score as the ante increases exponentially

Goes until you can’t keep up

[teal agate]

ok ill look into it

[peak knot]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/660489048405704704/1346804843511021610/image.png?ex=67ccd101&is=67cb7f81&hm=7c00ea853426896c64a85cb61669542e6c3053b62a34e4248827d692d1d94901&

My best run so far lol

Was a seeded run

[solar moat]

RIP

just get to 1*10^309

[peak knot]

Goal it to beat ante 8, after you beat it you get to access endless mode

[solar moat]

DONT GET THEM

[peak knot]

Goal is to hit naneinf (not a number error, infinite)

[neat flame]

i cant even afford 🙏

[solar moat]

its somtihnh*10^308

aka flote limit

[teal agate]

i didnt realize theres a lot of sales and price drops rn

how does the student discount thing work for apple?

[sinful cobalt]

@solid crown bro I think i give up on the galahad mirror lol

the only connection possible is with f panel

[elder quarry]

What’s happening

[formal sonnet]

https://www.apple.com/ca-edu/shop/browse/open/salespolicies/edu#:~:text=Eligibility,Canada%2C are eligible to purchase.

[sinful cobalt]

the galahad mirror white rgb stopped showing

stopped with me taking out the front panel connector for a external power button

[elder quarry]

How did it stop working

[willow coral]

can anyone give me some good wallpaper or lockscreen pics? i dont know what to do?

[elder quarry]

Started?

[sinful cobalt]

now im gonna put back f panel see if it works

[elder quarry]

Uh… black screen? Any oled guys here

[sinful cobalt]

But can I put the external power switch connectors

to USB pins?

[elder quarry]

Huh

[sinful cobalt]

yea idt so

[elder quarry]

Why

[peak knot]

@elder quarry You see my recent franken adapter?

[sinful cobalt]

k so one of the lianli connectors i plugged it into the mobo

upon startup it shows some rgb then turns off

[thorn pewter]

The SATA clock thingy?

[dusk acorn]

Hey guys quick question. Do you guys know where I can get this but longer like a wire that’s white because im trying to make an all white pc build but my case had a black wire for the type c in the front. thanks

[peak knot]

Yeah it has a voltage readout on the buck converter

[junior valve]

why the 780ti still getting drivers update?

[grave obsidian]

guys its fine to get C tier PSU for Nvidia 4xxx or Amd 9xxx series gpu?

[formal sonnet]

Because it is? Would you rather it not receive updates?

[teal agate]

i just looked and it says that the apple eduactional discount is honor based?

is this true?

[junior valve]

i thought nvidia stopped doing that since 2020

[harsh whale]

Should I downgrade to a 4070TiS (from 4080S) for a 9 7950X3D?

[teal agate]

Yes

[harsh whale]

The CPU isn't too powerful for the GPU?

[teal agate]

whats ur cpu now?

[harsh whale]

I was looking to get a 7 9800X3D

[teal agate]

9800x3d is better

u big ol goof

[harsh whale]

Its cheaper tho

[thorn pewter]

I believe old Kepler and fermi drivers are done and are in the legacy drivers, but volta, pascal and Maxwell still getting game ready drivers and are in the rtx game driver series

[teal agate]

9800x3d is newer

7950x3d has more cores tho so its better for non gaming stuff

[worldly drum]

i have a silly question, i want to know if i should be using this to clean the inside of my desktop

[harsh whale]

Alr, I'll get it and pair it with the 4080S

[teal agate]

good boy

[harsh whale]

"Safe to use on electronics"

[worldly drum]

so i'd have to get a specialized one for inside my desktop then

[harsh whale]

What?

[elder quarry]

Oh sorry, show me

[worldly drum]

it liquifies on top of my gpu, even at a rulers length (30cm)

[teal agate]

dont use it

let it get dusty

[elder quarry]

?

[teal agate]

it adds character

[worldly drum]

i dont plan on getting a new one any time soon

i bought all my parts brand new two years ago

[teal agate]

good

use a vaccum 👍

[worldly drum]

totally

wont damage the cpu at all im sure

[elder quarry]

You are using it wrong theb

[elder quarry]

No it won’t

[formal sonnet]

Oh it's a security driver update. That's why.

[worldly drum]

thank you for reminding me

i havent done a gpu update in over 2 months

[drifting geode]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326361517829

[drifting geode]

I want a laptop for 200 mate

[teal agate]

itll be more powerful than those 200 laptops

[drifting geode]

I wont buy anything else

[worldly drum]

the dollar to performance value on a laptop is pretty rancid at best compared to a desktop

[drifting geode]

bt then I need a monetor

[teal agate]

exactly

[broken saffron]

bruh then sit your ass and save some money

[worldly drum]

that thinkpad you were looking at, starts to perform pretty badly after the first 3 years

and the case is built cheaply so it breaks easily

[teal agate]

trust me i got a steam deck its worth it

[drifting geode]

bro don't fucking tell me what to do I don't want a pc

[broken saffron]

then dont fucking ask for advice

[drifting geode]

I want a laptop tho just recommend the best laptop for 200

[latent pasture]

the first one they sent have a ryzen 4000 which at least is zen2
this new one is ryzen 3000 which is zen 1

[cosmic stratus]

the janky dual ssd set up in my laptop🔥

[teal agate]

oscar

[drifting geode]

wtf u mean his is an advice serer u gimp

[drifting geode]

y?????

[teal agate]

ur best option is to either save or get something else

[broken saffron]

im not telling you to get a pc save some fucking money so you get a decent laptop so your 12 year old ass can play roblox

[worldly drum]

so true

i saved up and this is what i have now

[cosmic stratus]

Huh, im new to the conversation. what do you need?

[drifting geode]

I ain't got roo m for a pc dawg

[teal agate]

a desktop or steam deck is much better

just buy a steam deck then

[drifting geode]

I want a laptop for 200 just to play Roblox and Minecraft and use a macro

[cosmic stratus]

sure.. lets see that floor space in your room

[cosmic stratus]

oh just sand box games

[broken saffron]

portability

[cosmic stratus]

bet

[drifting geode]

yeah i ain't playing huge ahh games

[teal agate]

are u gonna use it for anything else?

[drifting geode]

I ain't getting a whole setup to play Roblox and Minecraft that's just cringe

[cosmic stratus]

I can probably find a couple of ryzen 5 3500u laptops that will do the job

[drifting geode]

probably picture transfer and maybe movies

nice

[teal agate]

thank god lol

[cosmic stratus]

cringe... wdym

you mean "unnecessary"

[cedar hollow]

is there any 1300W psus with dual 12vhpwr?

or is it just those fat 1600w ones

[drifting geode]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326361517829
I found this and someonem recommended it to me

[cedar hollow]

My current PSU is "Super Flower" and it may not be enough wattage for me

[teal agate]

that laptop is so ass

[stone gazelle]

i wonder if rtx gpus could thoretically use fsr 4 considering that they also have ai accelerators

[latent pasture]

for what gpu

[teal agate]

dont get it

[cedar hollow]

Wanted to do dual 5090, but my PSU doesn't have dual 12vhpwr native

[teal agate]

oscar

where r u from?

[cedar hollow]

ts is blocked off

[worldly drum]

honestly man just get whatever you're happy with

[drifting geode]

I just want the best laptop for Roblox and Minecraft and a macro for 200

[worldly drum]

i'll be blunt with a 200 pound budget you need to expect some problems very early on but it will do the job you need it for

[latent pasture]

there are 1000-1200ws that do have 2x 16pin but what r u doing that u think u need 2 5090s lmao

[cosmic stratus]

this should so the job

its in excellent condition

[cedar hollow]

AI

[drifting geode]

link?

[worldly drum]

what he needs is a celeron processor

[cedar hollow]

that's odd then why doesnt my PSU have dual 12vhpwr if its 1300W

[cosmic stratus]

wait a min lemme make sure there arnt any better options

[drifting geode]

8gb? ram this one got 16

[cosmic stratus]

very funny

[peak knot]

Why do you need dual 5090

[cedar hollow]

AI

[cosmic stratus]

ahh

[peak knot]

Get a proper ai accelerator card then

[cosmic stratus]

[cedar hollow]

I have 2 5090s already but they don't fit in my PC so im looking to trade one for a 5090 FE

[broken saffron]

spend 10 more and get another 8gb

[drifting geode]

no chrome books L

[cedar hollow]

I also need a new PSU if i want to do that though

[peak knot]

Trim your link

[cosmic stratus]

can you not

[worldly drum]

lets go back to the towers running dual 1080ti's in them

they were the real beasts

[cedar hollow]

Yes

[drifting geode]

Chromebooks suck right

[cosmic stratus]

what the hell non of the things you guys sent can run for shit

[teal agate]

not what?

[junior valve]

nvm

[broken saffron]

ye

[cosmic stratus]

what 😭

[worldly drum]

nothing with that budget can run much of anything

[cosmic stratus]

send garbage

[drifting geode]

ty

[cosmic stratus]

he needs atleast a ryzen 5 2500u laptop..

[drifting geode]

what ab ram?

[cosmic stratus]

and 8gb of ram at the very least

[drifting geode]

sm I multitask like having Roblox open with discord and a YT video for a tutorial

[teal agate]

dawg hes playing roblox it can run on anything

[broken saffron]

bro if its only 8gb just get another 8gb stick its only 10

[latent pasture]

if u have money for 2 5090s, surely u have enough money to get the 1600w or more psus that have the double 16pin
its like $300 for those vs $170 for the 1000-1200ws that also have 2x 16 pin

[worldly drum]

630 pounds, i bought my current pc of these guys

[cosmic stratus]

WRONG it will WALK on those slow ass apus... I been in the struggle before I got a desktop bro

[broken saffron]

never used a good laptop then

[teal agate]

its roblox tho

[broken saffron]

stop glazing desktops lol

[cosmic stratus]

im not...

[junior valve]

is that how much it weights

[drifting geode]

I used a 30£ laptop and it was fine on rblx 💀🗿🗿🗿🗿

[worldly drum]

thats the price

[cedar hollow]

Yeah I understand, but im having trouble finding the good models

[broken saffron]

where tf do you get 30$ laptops

[junior valve]

lenovo thinkpad something i5

[drifting geode]

bro a pc isn't 630 lbs 💀

[cosmic stratus]

yea at 30fps, I bet you're just easily please but no. here imma find you best value for your money

not some shit dual core celery cpu

[drifting geode]

11 fps 🚨

[broken saffron]

what with it?

[worldly drum]

i'll be real, 30fps hurts my eyes

[cosmic stratus]

omg

[teal agate]

630 pounds u dumb ass

[junior valve]

mines like 150lbs

[latent pasture]

also why does it have to be direct 16pin
whats wrong with just 1 16pin and the other uses adapter from 8pins thats just the same anyway

[drifting geode]

ik £630

I know it was the price

[broken saffron]

bro can you read

[teal agate]

sure... lol

[cedar hollow]

Considering the recent news surrounding 5090s and their power connectors, I'd rather err on the side of safety and opt for a ATX 3.1 PSU with native 12v2x6

[broken saffron]

crazy chat

[junior valve]

its slow

[drifting geode]

look who I replied to

[latent pasture]

the issue with the 5090 is on the gpu end of the cable not the psu
and the 5090's wiring system

[peak knot]

Peak performance build

[teal agate]

oh mb g thought u said it was weight lollll

[broken saffron]

oh well what are the specs

[drifting geode]

no so who's the dumb ass now

8gb ram

[drifting geode]

who can recommend me a pc for 200 hat can run Roblox and Minecraft and a macro good

[worldly drum]

not a bad deal for a free pc

[peak knot]

If your asking about the SignalRGB TikTok also no

[teal agate]

tf is macro

[peak knot]

I’m a qa dev not marketing

[cosmic stratus]

you ok with the tiny dent on the bottom, it wont affect anything also this apu can even run some triple AAA games so you should have a fine flawless experience witg those sandbox games👍

[drifting geode]

I'm not responding to this ffs

[junior valve]

100$ i5 7600k combo + 40$ gtx 780ti , 60$ for everything else

[teal agate]

hu

[drifting geode]

link

[cosmic stratus]

not worth the trade offs, either save up to 300$ or get a laptop at your current budget

[peak knot]

This is my test bench atm running a 265k on a z890 taichi on a gravity mounted athlon 64 cooler from 2003 with a gt 1010 gpu

[junior valve]

i saw signal rgb tiktoks abr drilling 5090 heatsinks and components

just wondering if its u

[cosmic stratus]

WAIT NVM

[teal agate]

can someone tell me what macro good is?

[cosmic stratus]

lets talk in dms

[peak knot]

Yeah that’s our marketing guys gpu he waterblocked it and drilled the cooler there no pcb In it

[broken saffron]

bro google

[sinful cobalt]

@solid crown after a few bleeding fingers (i have eczema and therefore weak skin) I finally fixed it

[sleek ibex]

Or even a Super Flower Leadex Titanium 1600W?

[peak knot]

I have some motherboards that won’t work until a blood sacrifice is made

[sleek ibex]

Damn the dual 5090 guy is gone

[junior valve]

whatever gets the views rolling ig

[peak knot]

Most notably my evga sr2 without fail won’t post until blood is drawn

[worldly drum]

what do you want a macro for

[junior valve]

who

[teal agate]

i dont that oscar kid was ysaying he needs it

idk what it is tho

[peak knot]

Vert

[worldly drum]

its an automated click or button process you can set up

[junior valve]

he has 2 5090s?

[peak knot]

No

[junior valve]

bwomp

[worldly drum]

but doing a macro on a budget laptop will max out its cpu in no time

[peak knot]

He said he wanted 2x for ai

i was still looking at 2x 16pin psus lmao

oh thats what i thought then whyd he say he wanted a lapto pthat can run it lol

[sinful cobalt]

that was hell

and finally i can get my direct cpu temperature

[teal agate]

cant everything run macros

[peak knot]

My bequiet dark pro 13 1600W has 2x

[junior valve]

@peak knot btw do you know any cheap 480 rads , under 30$ would be nice

[sleek ibex]

I was able to name a couple top tier 1600w units since he 'couldn't' find any

[peak knot]

I do not I got mine as a gift

[broken saffron]

nah i think hes probably doing it for minecraft or something shouldnt be too much

[latent pasture]

ye i was looking at straight power 12 1500w

[worldly drum]

some mice and keyboards come with a macro feature

[latent pasture]

but hes gone anyway so 🤷‍♂️

[junior valve]

im thinking abt water cooling my cpu any tips?

[latent pasture]

aio

[kindred halo]

Honestly thinking of buying a gaming laptop instead of a desktop

[worldly drum]

dont, honestly

[junior valve]

my current one aint doing shid

[cedar hollow]

im lurkin

[latent pasture]

why
did someone snag the cheap 3090

[drifting geode]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235964188173
this

[kindred halo]

Easier to grab & leave with in a hurry

[kindred halo]

Both are still up

[worldly drum]

if you really need it to be portable go for it

[kindred halo]

But wellll, security situation is getting heated once again

[teal agate]

grab a steam deck

[worldly drum]

but laptops are more expensive, and even the same parts are worse than their desktop counterparts

[kindred halo]

Last PC died to JDAM overpressure because I couldn't grab it and leave

[cedar hollow]

I'm looking at this
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GwtLrH/asrock-phantom-gaming-pg-1600g-1600-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-pg-1600g

[latent pasture]

much better
you can also look at ryzen 5300u and 5500u theyre also zen2 and 7nm vega
i see some in the 220 ish area too

[kindred halo]

So having something that's both a bit decent in terms of power AND can be taken immediately helps

[cedar hollow]

$269 after rebates is tasty

[drifting geode]

I'ma get it then

[kindred halo]

Although if nothing happens I'll stick to the 3090

[junior valve]

95c with 250w load

[latent pasture]

i cant find reviews of it bc asrock only came into the psu game like last year (?) iirc

[peak knot]

Minimum 240mm rad to start but if high end go 360mm and add 120mm more for every component and another 120mm for every component you want to OC

[broken saffron]

oof

[junior valve]

what about dual 480s

[peak knot]

[junior valve]

in the front

[sleek ibex]

A 420 has more surface area than a 480 and the 1000D should support it on top just saying

[latent pasture]

what are you cooling

[junior valve]

13900k

[kindred halo]

@latent pasture Cheapest option is a Victus with a 3050, opinions?

[latent pasture]

at some point adding more rad doesnt rly do much and the bottleneck is the transfer from cpu to the water

[kindred halo]

Not a great card but atleast it's better than HD 620

[worldly drum]

thats crazy

[peak knot]

Honestly I don’t have much experience cooling newer than 11th gen on ambient

[worldly drum]

ive never seen my pc as a whole run above 85c

[peak knot]

I typically run them on ln2

[latent pasture]

if possible step up to rtx 4050
its like 2-3x better than of 3050

[junior valve]

2x 480 at the front and a 420 at the top should be good enough

[teal agate]

do u ever just have that late night motivation after listining to dance now

[kindred halo]

Lemme check prices

[latent pasture]

also avoid msi cyborg and GF
they cap the gpu at 40 watts which nuke its performance

[peak knot]

But right now my z690/z790s and my 13900kf are being repaired atm

[junior valve]

did it die?

[sleek ibex]

Do you plan on adding the GPU in the loop?

[junior valve]

how come?

[peak knot]

Yes but all able to be fixed

[junior valve]

nah

[peak knot]

Got gifted a z690 apex that had some damage and then my z790 apex encores vrm controller fried due to a static shock, got replacement parts and my 13900kf had some minor damage also but still works

Then I’m also getting my GTX 2080ti 22gb modded and having my Asus ares repaired

[junior valve]

how do i plan out the tubes layout here

[sleek ibex]

420×140 = 58,800mm² as opposed to 480×120 = 57,600mm². Also lower speeds as opposed to 480s

[peak knot]

What pump did you get ddc or d5

[junior valve]

im still thinking , currently planing out the tubes here

[kindred halo]

@latent pasture Cheapest is a 699 victus, 13420H & 4050 6GB

[peak knot]

I’d recommend getting a ddc pump

You’ll want the higher head pressure

[junior valve]

what abt a really thick 480 rad?

[sleek ibex]

FWIW a single D5 will have zero issue powering this loop. Even people underestimate the power of an DDC

[latent pasture]

sorry for 3rd task but how much is it compared to cheapest 3060 laptop then since they perform abt the same
but 3060s might be on sale bc theyre old

[peak knot]

Yeah but the d5 will wear faster due to the higher load a large loop like that is

[kindred halo]

Lemme check

[junior valve]

this one

[cedar hollow]

@latent pasture How's this one?
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GjWJ7P/be-quiet-straight-power-12-1500-w-80-platinum-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-bn340

this is also comfortably below $300

[peak knot]

Nah go thinner

[kindred halo]

@latent pasture How similar is the RX6650M

[junior valve]

should look something like this

[peak knot]

That Corsair d5 is subpar for large loops

Trust me I’ve nuked 2 on my test bench

My ek ddc has been going great for a couple years though

i might need like 3 more corsair commander pro for the extra fans

[broken saffron]

does anyone here have a mbp nano texture display?

[junior valve]

what that mean

[latent pasture]

its also about the same as 4050 but u lose nvidia features ig

[kindred halo]

Cheapest yet

And has an R5 7535HS

[latent pasture]

how much cheaper

[kindred halo]

About 90 US cheaper

Lemme check used market rq

Forgot it existed

[latent pasture]

what laptop is specifically

hopefully not msi gf

[kindred halo]

HP Victus again

[peak knot]

I’ve had several die on me over the years it’s just not a good pump can see where it was on my test bench ATM an Intel sponsored OC event

[kindred halo]

Also, used market is selling either 20 series or highly marked up laptops

[latent pasture]

how long does it take u to earn that difference in cost of 6650m vs 4050
4050 having fg and transformer dlss is a pretty huge feature especially on the lower end where it matters even more

[turbid ruin]

quick question, is silverbench (the website) a reliable measurement of cpu perf?

[sleek ibex]

Yeh the Corsair D5 is often regarded for being subpar despite being a genuine Xylem pump

[peak knot]

Now corsairs xd3 ddc pump is solid

[kindred halo]

Wait a minute

If a war even breaks out again I wouldn't be able to buy a laptop lol

If it doesn't, can probably get a puter

Where then budget is 900, aka fits a decent laptop

I am stupid 💔

[junior valve]

does asetek make custom loops pump?

they r pretty reliable

[sleek ibex]

It's usually Lowara/Xylem/Laing for D5s and DDCs so no

[kindred halo]

I can like legit just get an MSI Cyborg lol @latent pasture

That's IF I don't get the desktop

[sleek ibex]

And all three are essentially part of one big name

[latent pasture]

avoid msi cyborg and gf

[broken oar]

would this be okay to cool an i5 14600kf?

huh

[sleek ibex]

Which country do you live in?

[junior valve]

some brown slipped out

[junior valve]

y u ask

[cedar hollow]

yuch

[junior valve]

i wonder whats the color inside

[cedar hollow]

might be brown because of the corrosion of the metal

man who knows

[sleek ibex]

To determine which would probably be best to get your WCing parts?

[junior valve]

im still planning

[junior valve]

i think its the aged lubricants

[sleek ibex]

Here in the States the two big ones we have are PerformancePCs and TitanRig

Also there's ModMyMods but their shipping times can be very bipolar

[junior valve]

can i use water tubes for soft tubing?

[latent pasture]

is the power button on the middle or the top right
if top right then its the newer much worse variant of loq that has like 1 ram slot and 1 fan and low power limits to compensate
the victus is better than it

[lament tartan]

You can use PVC if you wanted

[sleek ibex]

MMM is weird since the shipping time depends if the item is in the shop or not. If it isn't (despite saying it's in stock) what they'll do is once they get your order, they'll send an invoice to the manufacturer, manufacturer sends it to them, and then they ship to you after receiving from said manufacturer

[kindred halo]

Lemme check

[kindred halo]

Top right

[sleek ibex]

For soft tubing, I like to use EPDM tubing in the 10/16 size

[kindred halo]

Victus it is

[sleek ibex]

Or 3/8" 5/8" for freedom units

[kindred halo]

Wait there's an LOQ 15AHP9 @latent pasture

my 5070ti maxed at 30.8k

[rigid fjord]

i'd get a pump with distro block instead of pump with reservoir

[solar moat]

overclock cpu

[red badge]

I think stock 9070 xt gets like 27.5k

[red badge]

I undervolted my cpu since my cooler is a single tower air cooler

[sinful cobalt]

may i ask what model u using?

[solar moat]

memory?

[red badge]

Hellhound, it's kinda barely above the min spec

[latent pasture]

that cpu doesnt exist, do u mean 7435hs?
it has no igpu so its battery life is trash bc it needs the dgpu to display
but other than that yes its the good loq line

[red badge]

My ram isn't 10ns latency unfortunately. It is a 5200 cl 36 kit that I overclocked a ton. The ram is now like 5800 cl 30 I think

Like it's on the cusp of being 6000 cl 30

[solar moat]

what IC

[red badge]

I got it when am5 first came out

[thorn viper]

bro, this code just worked, wth is wrong with the syntax now, it was working just fine

[red badge]

It's a Samsung chip

[solar moat]

💀

[solar moat]

did you do anything but praimrys?

[red badge]

I did a lot...

[modest pivot]

is the crucial p3 plus a good ssd?

[kindred halo]

Misspell, 8845 apparently

[latent pasture]

then that is good
is it expensive? since its just straight up better cpu and gpu

[solar moat]

so your checking if one is like more then other 2 combined?

[red badge]

https://youtu.be/x5U-8rvmGDc?si=FikZiKXri5FwC6mp

Except his settings ofc don't work for my specific kit. So I adjusted a lot of it

[thorn viper]

im checking if a and b combined is less or equal to c and so on

it just was working but somehow the air particles made the syntax invalid

[sleek ibex]

@junior valve also for coolant, I strongly recommend going with clear or a transparent/translucent

[latent pasture]

nah opaque doodoowater vomit green
or canal ditchwater graybrown

dont be normie #126753 with ur rgb clear liquid loop

[abstract wigeon]

'aestetics'

he insists on x870 for the extra performance it apparetly has

[storm jasper]

How much does the RX 7800 XT cost in the USA

[true stirrup]

It has absolutely no extra performance

[sleek ibex]

I love using this stuff. DP Ultra is my fave

[rigid fjord]

it doesn't have that when it comes to an x3d cpu, and unless he's coding, video editing or 3d rendering theat ssd is really a poor choice,, the ram is just terribad as well as the aio he chose

[abstract wigeon]

he wont listen man ive tried

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hLYwC8 check out the 2 monitors he NEEDS to have also

[solar moat]

nooooo

[sleek ibex]

As someone who's used Mayhems Pastel for years...... Yeah no

[true stirrup]

Now I want to expand my loop again 🥲

[thorn viper]

omfg, i had a variable assigned to x = float(input(" ......") and i forgot to add a )) to the end instead of )

[rigid fjord]

i have some "blood red" coolant from EK i've used in a couple trial setups i've done for experimenting with, i like it alot, especailly as the coloured transparent coolant also lets me know where the leak is

[sleek ibex]

Although I didn't have any problems with Pastel (in fact in my experience Mayhems Pastel was one of the better Opaques out there) but you will regret it real quick

[rigid fjord]

i should really pick up some more as it should be stupidly cheaper now

[elder quarry]

who pinged me

[rigid fjord]

despite how EK's management are a buch of arseholes

[sleek ibex]

Mayhems has this sick black coolant that's from their X1 and XT-1 line

[rigid fjord]

think you got a ghost ping

[rigid fjord]

tbf distro blocks make it look cleaner, but also at the same time means for the likes of the cpu/gpu could specifically keep them soft tubed incase you ever need to pull them out for upgrades

[kindred halo]

17 US more than the desktop

[latent pasture]

is it the cheapest 4060?

[rigid fjord]

sup dude

[abstract wigeon]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Fg4Gdb managed to save him £400

[latent pasture]

the 4050 perf if u wanna save

[elder quarry]

bleh

[topaz shale]

i got a 4070 laptop on black friday for 1k

[sleek ibex]

Also have a few bottles in Blue. Though DP Ultra is known for selling out a lot as it's not uncommon for folks to buy it in bulk. Even the 5L Jugs aren't safe LMFAO

[true stirrup]

You made the ram more expensive

[abstract wigeon]

HE wanted white ram

[elder quarry]

oh god

[abstract wigeon]

i said no my friend you dont need rgb ram at all

[elder quarry]

just paint it rainbow or something

[true stirrup]

There should still be some cheaper one

[topaz shale]

white doesnt hide dust as well

[rigid fjord]

@junior valve this is a really clean way of doing a custom loop though still not a fan of hard tubing on the cpu and gpu

[topaz shale]

and cleaning your pc frequently is... well you wont be doing it as frequently as you hope

[elder quarry]

oohhhh

slurp

[rigid fjord]

still with shitty ram, there's way better white ram kits

[elder quarry]

that ram is a bit too expensive though

[sleek ibex]

Though Mayhems was another I used to use quite a bit. Tony sadly the US retailers don't seem to get as much of their products like years prior. Tis a shame though I guess importing will have to do since they're based in the UK

[abstract wigeon]

what would you put?

[peak knot]

run firestrike

[rigid fjord]

dominators, basically corsair's only 'GOOD' ram

[sleek ibex]

People also really love X1/XT-1

[true stirrup]

Sadly distro blocks are crazy expensive

[iron glen]

i want to play a nice round of cs2 and my teammates are staring at boxes 😔

[red badge]

In bed atm, dm me so I remember tomorrow

[kindred halo]

Pretty much

[sleek ibex]

And Koolance is another great choice. I've used both the 702 and 705 though 702 is what most people should shoot for

[latent pasture]

well debate with urself if its worth it over the 4050 perf ig

[kindred halo]

DLSS off?

[latent pasture]

yes

[kindred halo]

Victus allows purchasing of peripherals with the rest of the 200 US saved

Although idk if it's worth it

30 FPS difference on average

Don't know single game performance

Might be though, I don't play that demanding of games

They'll stay as 2 options

But for now I am sticking to the desktop

Wait no Desktop was 852

863 with a 14400F instead the 12400F

I could probably get an extra 16GB stick to make it 16x2 instead of the original (temporary) 16x1

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/8W7ZqH as they want a white build, i'd do this

[elder quarry]

What’s happening? Are you trying to convinxe someone to buy 4050

[kindred halo]

Comparing what I can do if I bought a 4050 laptop or a 4060 laptop

[rigid fjord]

true, though it just makes things easier for custom loops

[elder quarry]

Ouch expensive gpu

[rigid fjord]

it's the gpu they selected because white

[strange atlas]

Ive got the m2 anything i should do while doing that

[kindred halo]

Security situation in the country might be getting worse so I am keeping a few laptop options incase they get shit to the point that grabbing my stuff and leaving immediately is a real situation

[abstract wigeon]

cheers, any idea on what pack of rgb vomit fans he should buy? no rgb is NOT an option

[rigid fjord]

personally, the new 9070xt in white looks way better

[latent pasture]

you buy laptop for portability and nothing else
if u dont need it then why is it even an option

[kindred halo]

Lost my last puter because of that, don't wanna lose 900 US in tech

[elder quarry]

Just do a water loop at this point, like 500$ more expensive due to a color

[kindred halo]

I am keeping them as options that depend on circumstance

[rigid fjord]

arctic's own ones to match with the aio's fans, the bigger bonus you can use them all on signal rgb and have only 1 software controlling the lot

[strange atlas]

Help would be nice

[kindred halo]

Portability is good, since I can grab it and leave, aka won't lose 900 USD in tech to a JDAM, but if security situations stay neutral then there's no need

[rigid fjord]

custom loop would turn that build into a 5-6k build

[elder quarry]

Thermalright offer some good options, and if you wanna go fancy; you can go with fanteks

[latent pasture]

buy era

[kindred halo]

Then again I can probably get an Iris Xe machine

[abstract wigeon]

any idea which fans that would be? https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCTIC-P12-PWM-RGB-Pack/dp/B09MJDRYM9?th=1 these?

[kindred halo]

JDAMs were put on depth fuses

[elder quarry]

money spent well at least ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[kindred halo]

It'll act like AP on the ERA

[rigid fjord]

yup the 3 pack of those in white

[kindred halo]

Funnily enough that's how the building across from me got brought down whilst the one right next to it was almost unscathed

Also, back to laptop point

I can probably get an Iris Xe machine

Pretty decent integrated GPU

322% better than HD 620 according to technicalcity

[rigid fjord]

nope, custom loops are a rabbit hole of spending

[sleek ibex]

Can confirm

If anything it's more of a hobby these days

[rigid fjord]

the cheapest parts are the water blocks and pump with res/distro

[gloomy sleet]

sure

[rigid fjord]

it's the pipes and fittings that get you

[rigid fjord]

you've proven it more times than i'd like to count

[elder quarry]

Oh yeah

[storm jasper]

Will an RX 7800 XT be enough for 1080p gaming?

[gloomy sleet]

i literally said that the one in the picture wasn’t mine before you sent your message

please use some critical thinking

[latent pasture]

4050 and keep the extra to bribe border patrol when u leave

[kindred halo]

Nowhere to leave

[rigid fjord]

it'll be overkill for it, but totally fine

[kindred halo]

Syria's taken over, Israel's the one bombing us

[gloomy sleet]

i’d buy it then save for a 1440p monitor

[kindred halo]

Airlines won't really stop a laptop

[latent pasture]

get urself a sick gaming pc so u can at least game well while u get zombed

[kindred halo]

Esp M.E.A

[elder quarry]

Wanna hit these 500’s

[kindred halo]

Atp that's a good idea

[topaz shale]

use the excess for starlink for uninterrupted cs2

[storm jasper]

Will it bottleneck with an i3 12100f

[kindred halo]

I'll just watch security situation

Hopefully Israel pipes the fuck down

[elder quarry]

And a ups

[kindred halo]

So I can game on an FTW3 3090

[topaz shale]

maybe a generator too

[rigid fjord]

fuck no, that's not how the stupid word works dude

[elder quarry]

Yeah

[topaz shale]

i miss when evga made gpu's

[storm jasper]

I'm kidding

[elder quarry]

Tons of solar panels and a nuclear power plant 🌱

[elder quarry]

Bad mood today, huh

[kindred halo]

I was in like 5th grade when they still made GPUs (I think 6th when they stopped?)
Couldn't witness their peak 💔

[sleek ibex]

Of all the builds I've done combined in the past four years, for the cost of fittings........ Let's just say that it can get you an AIB 4080/7900 XTX back when they were current gen

[topaz shale]

my first gpu upgrade was a FTW 2070s... that card was 3 slots

[elder quarry]

Totally agreed tho

[kindred halo]

That's.. A very bulky card

Looks great too

[storm jasper]

I'm planning a build with a Ryzen 5 7600X, RX 7800 XT Phantom, 32GB DDr5 CL30 with a b650-S WiFi for my first PC

[elder quarry]

Ok?

[kindred halo]

Mine was an ASUS Strix 1050ti, took one slot but handled everything like a champ

[storm jasper]

Is that alright?

[kindred halo]

Poor thing was bottlenecked by my 4460

Also, how long did the 2070S last?

Not saying it stopped working ofcourse, EVGA's stuff is reliable

[elder quarry]

You don’t need cl30, and I don’t exactly know what mobo b650-s is but looks good

[kindred halo]

Sorry man, for 1080/1440p you'll need at MINIMUM a 6690D Ti 128GB

[topaz shale]

back when i upgrade to a 3080ti..

[elder quarry]

What are you talking about

[kindred halo]

NVidia short fused all their cards to make people buy new ones so you quite literally can't use anything else

And AMD left the GPU scene after the 10090 XTX crashed their servers because of the extra digit

Intel still hasn't made the B770

[topaz shale]

NAH the commitment

[elder quarry]

4090D is a bit too much, but a nVidia a6000 48gb should do the trick

[elder quarry]

5090D*

[kindred halo]

A6000 only handles 1440p medium

[elder quarry]

I’m a budget baller, let me be

[kindred halo]

Yeah fair enough

Also did you hear that the 60 series will be getting their 16 pin cables replaced by a V4 motor

[abstract wigeon]

how do i know what linux distro is right for me

[kindred halo]

Because home electricity just can't produce what it needs

[topaz shale]

prayer

[elder quarry]

Trying out some; I just like the package managers, not the distro

[kindred halo]

The A7000 will have a Royce Merlin V12 to power it

[elder quarry]

Oh yeah, I read that on toms hardware

[gloomy sleet]

the a6000 is like 3090 levels of performance iirc

[kindred halo]

NVidia calls it the "GCSS 4.0"

The Merlin V12 one is GCSS 12.0

[elder quarry]

Ah, also, wasn’t it nvidia PTX 6905 rev 5

[gloomy sleet]

in games it’s nearly identical to the 3090 performance wise

obviously ignoring the fact it’s got double the vram

[kindred halo]

Pretty sure yeah

[topaz shale]

do you update your bio every year

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[kindred halo]

Also they're bringing the 0X00 cards back

[gloomy sleet]

i’m unbanned from the official fortnite server now

[kindred halo]

6690D Ti Super direct fuel injection

[gloomy sleet]

they insta banned me 3 years ago

[topaz shale]

is this part of the forgiveness thing

[kindred halo]

It takes JP-8 and JP-8 only

[topaz shale]

or just cause you are 13 to the average bot

[gloomy sleet]

they asked for my drivers license or passport to verify that i’m not 10

fuck that

[kindred halo]

If you give it standard gasoline it sends a signal to Jensen who then sends an RT Death Squad to you

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

people even think i’m 13

[elder quarry]

You are 13

[gloomy sleet]

i’m not

[topaz shale]

your car is older than mine i think i will have to kill you

[gloomy sleet]

damn

[topaz shale]

sorry

[gloomy sleet]

outside of lidl 1:00 tomorrow

[elder quarry]

Proof

[topaz shale]

ill arrange my cruise missile to your coordinates

[strange atlas]

Apparently my mobo didnt come with ssd screw can i put random nail

[gloomy sleet]

shit up

[mellow cairn]

My 3080ti is a nice single slot unit

[elder quarry]

Should’ve overeritten with white

[topaz shale]

my 3080ti doesnt need to be flushed tho

[mellow cairn]

Yes

[drifting geode]

WHOEVER GOOD AT LAPTOPS FINE ME A GOOD ONE FOR ROBLOX MINECRAFT AND A MACRO, 200 IS MY BUDGET

I've found these 2
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326361517829
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235964188173

[rigid fjord]

6000 cl30 kit?

[frail delta]

Make sure you hammer it in well

[gloomy sleet]

your ssd can work unscrewed in

a bit of electrical tape would be my recommendation

[strange atlas]

What the fuck do you mean huh

[elder quarry]

Or just a qlatch

[gloomy sleet]

use double sided tape where the screw is meant to go

[gloomy sleet]

true

[frail delta]

You said nail...

[strange atlas]

Nah apparently this ssd already gets too hut

[elder quarry]

Huh?!

[gloomy sleet]

3d print a new screw

[strange atlas]

I tought those are same thing damn

[topaz shale]

sounds challenging

[gloomy sleet]

nail is something you bash in with a hammer

[storm jasper]

Yeah

[elder quarry]

Yeah no double sided tape wouldn’t be my go-to, electrical tape was fine

[strange atlas]

Then im putting random screw in i hope it doesnt f it up

[elder quarry]

Screw*

[gloomy sleet]

double sided electrical tape

[iron glen]

fun fact: you can use a nail as a drill bit but not the other way around sadly

[rigid fjord]

as long as it's not corsair you're golden

[storm jasper]

Unheard of

[gloomy sleet]

what’s wrong with corsair

[storm jasper]

It's XPG lancer blade

[elder quarry]

Bruh.

[rigid fjord]

good ram

[rigid fjord]

you've not dealt with an sds drill have you?

[iron glen]

nope

[storm jasper]

I wonder how long it will take for the GPU shortage to hit the Indian market cuz most of these GPUs are currently being sold at discounts

[topaz shale]

there is no shortage

[storm jasper]

It's cheaper to import an RX 7800 XT from India to the US to buy an RX 7800 XT in the US

[topaz shale]

real

[rigid fjord]

they make holes fast and if you catch a bit wrong, well your arms.chin can become part of it

[storm jasper]

Costs 575 USD here for a card that costs 1150 in the states

[rigid fjord]

there technically is on nvidia's side

[elder quarry]

1150 since when

[iron glen]

i've used one of theese before, wasnt very fun

[rigid fjord]

what 7800xt costs 1150?

[elder quarry]

Exactly

[eternal cloak]

There is, especially Nvidia cards

[rigid fjord]

that's an sds drill dude@iron glen

[thin oak]

the great browsing experience comes when we use ad blocker and you are blocking ad blockers from your extension store, so nah. I am not buying this crap...

[eternal cloak]

Purely because of lacking stock and scalpers though so it should stabilize pretty quickly

[elder quarry]

Yeah

[rigid fjord]

yup

[strange atlas]

I dont have a single screw that can fit what am i gonna do...

[iron glen]

oh

[warm linden]

Lmao

[mellow cairn]

Tape

[abstract wigeon]

are they really this close

[tired path]

at around 70-75 dollars is there a better alternative for the 1070 (for casual gaming)

[rigid fjord]

get an m.2 screw kit, the mobo would have m.2 screws that came with it as it is

[strange atlas]

Dont have electrical ones only transparent ones

[iron glen]

most experience i've had is with a stationary drill (i think thats whay they're called)

[true stirrup]

9800X3D is much faster in gaming

[storm jasper]

Huh, th is wrong with part picker? The phantom gaming was like 1150 on that

[mellow cairn]

Yeah, whatever

[strange atlas]

Too expensive man

[abstract wigeon]

is there a website that shows that
