Drill press.

[warm linden]

Gamers nexus on YouTube

[iron glen]

anyone in my family just says drill so idk the names

[rigid fjord]

ah, drill press/ pillar drill, those can be 'fun'

[topaz shale]

they do drill

[strong sail]

Not bad

[true stirrup]

https://youtu.be/s-lFgbzU3LY?si=0raT5y3areCnaBRZ

[broken saffron]

just use ublock origin

[warm linden]

But you don’t need anyone to confirm. The 9800x3d is pretty much the best gaming cpu right now

[eternal cloak]

Doesn't exist in Chrome anymore

[eternal cloak]

Or chromium in general, really

[strong sail]

Just get a 4070 man

[rigid fjord]

the kids version of the real fin ones

[strong sail]

They're still priced well

[broken saffron]

?

[eternal cloak]

Install it, try to run it

[drifting geode]

[eternal cloak]

It's gonna get blocked, chrome recently removed MV2 out of their system

[ebon marlin]

I'm on a chromium browser and my ublock origin still works

[rigid fjord]

the one you'r GF told you not to worry about @iron glen

[drifting geode]

guys pls help

[thin oak]

aleady using, but chrome asked me to remove it

[topaz shale]

the one my gf tells me not to worry about is a mill

[broken saffron]

damn its still working for me

[storm jasper]

It's cheaper than a 4070 in India

[eternal cloak]

Weird, then they're probably rolling it out slowly, it's been disabled for since a week ago

[ebon marlin]

look local u can find proper gaming laptops for that price range I got my i7 7700hq laptop with a GTX 1070 for that much

[iron glen]

my dad used to have a small one for fixing chairs and such, iirc the belt or something like that broke and its yet to be fixed

[broken saffron]

hmm could be or maybe im just built diff

[drifting geode]

wdym

[iron glen]

more or less rebuilding then fixing

[ebon marlin]

what is there not to understand

[broken saffron]

@drifting geode you still havent found a laptop?

[ebon marlin]

I was clear as day

[drifting geode]

wdym by look loc

[drifting geode]

i have but it's this and ppl say it's bad

[broken saffron]

buddy if you mowed a lawn for this much time you wouldve been able to get a beter one

[ebon marlin]

look at local used marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace for example

[drifting geode]

the hp one

[ebon marlin]

not sure what others there are in UK

[drifting geode]

give me an example then show me a good one for 200

[broken saffron]

the thinkpad isnt nice idk about hp

[drifting geode]

the hp one is 240 and it's good enough for me

hp has tk be fine for Roblox and Minecraft

[broken saffron]

whats the max you can push your budget

[drifting geode]

200 fr

[ebon marlin]

they're both fine for roblox and minecraft but with that budget you could get a much better laptop

[rigid fjord]

yeah, they be belts on them, similar to what you use in a car tbf

[drifting geode]

the hp is 240 so if 250

[broken saffron]

you jus said hp is 240

[drifting geode]

250 is maxx

[strong sail]

That's sad

[drifting geode]

with cupok 220

cupon

[rigid fjord]

same performance tbf between the 2

[drifting geode]

230 max

and if u find one for 250 but cupon makes it 230 I'm down

@broken saffron

[broken saffron]

let me see

[rigid fjord]

neither of them are great but i'd grab the thinkpad

[drifting geode]

bro ppl say do hp

idk who to believe now

[gloomy sleet]

look on fb marketplace

i was able to get a 5800H and 3050 rog g15 for £200

[storm jasper]

What's FB?

[drifting geode]

facebook

[iron glen]

theres a big pile of powertools and benches waiting to be fixed in the garage, most probably arent repairable

[gloomy sleet]

facebook

[storm jasper]

What's that?

[ebon marlin]

I just snagged a nice laptop for 15€ + shipping yum

a HP ProBook 430 G3

[storm jasper]

Is it like Instagram for old ppl?

[rigid fjord]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315701215228? what's the discount on this with the code?

[eternal cloak]

Except the company who owns Facebook also owns Instagram

And WhatsApp

[ebon marlin]

whatsapp

[eternal cloak]

And the company who makes the Quest 3

[eternal cloak]

WhatsApp

[drifting geode]

no discount that's way over rmy budget tho

my budget is 200 230 max!

[ebon marlin]

yummy has a i5 6500 in it no info about ram and storage but I've got plenty of those laying around and the laptop is having issues with staying on it randomly just shuts off and only starts working again when the battery dies

I could easily fix it

not bad at all for 15€

[rigid fjord]

you can make an offer on it, it's also better specs

[drifting geode]

i play roblox and Minecraft tho remember that @rigid fjord

[iron glen]

this made me wonder what vive is up to

kinda gross looking ngl

[ebon marlin]

@drifting geode I recommend checking local markets for deals like these I5 9300H and GTX 1650 laptop for 200€

there are plenty of laptops like these in my local markets

just look for older gaming laptops

you'll be able to play much more than just roblox and minecraft

also allowing you to play minecraft modpacks if you wanted to since they are quite heavy in performance

[drifting geode]

idk what to look for tho I'm not good with laptops

catto DM me pls i need some help

[ebon marlin]

just put it in here so others can help too

[drifting geode]

ok

what do I search. on FB markeyplace

[broken saffron]

gaming laptop

[ebon marlin]

yeah pretty much just search that up

[drifting geode]

ok

[ebon marlin]

also with facebook marketplace be cautious since there's no buyer protection so don't buy shipping stuff

preferably with facebook marketplace try to do local pick ups

[broken saffron]

im getting stuff like nitro5 for like 250 usd

1650, i5, 1tb hdd 256gb ssd etc

[drifting geode]

Lenovo ThinkPad E14 i5 11th gen?

[ebon marlin]

look for laptops with discrete gpu's

[drifting geode]

tf does that mean

[broken saffron]

like nvidia

[ebon marlin]

so the laptop doesn't run on Intel UHD jank

[novel robin]

1000€ for a Original 🤡🤡

[drifting geode]

man idk what to I'm doing SM do this for me

[ebon marlin]

Ryzen 7 3750H + Gtx 1660 Ti for 225€ insanely good deal

[drifting geode]

what's that website called

[broken saffron]

bro just search for a gaming laptop on fb marketplace

[ebon marlin]

this is a used marketplace in finland

[drifting geode]

i am

[broken saffron]

how old are you

[drifting geode]

17

[broken saffron]

bruh

[drifting geode]

u

??

[ebon marlin]

One thing you could do is searching up specific keywords that you'd want in the laptop like the graphic card itself

but you'll get lots of desktop gpu's but you just gotta scroll past em

[broken saffron]

just search for something like gaming laptop nvidia

[ebon marlin]

like Gtx 1650, Gtx 1060, Gtx 1050 Ti, Gtx 1070, Rx 5500M stuff like that

[drifting geode]

inten dore i7 Nvidia quardo win 11

[ebon marlin]

quadro's are poop for gaming

they're not meant for gaming

[drifting geode]

dude can u just find me one near my area

[ebon marlin]

ay caramba

[drifting geode]

?

[strange atlas]

Does m2 screws has to be flushed in with base?

Im trying to find a screw that can fit

[sick pollen]

whats with the demands

lowkey disrespectful

[drifting geode]

bc it's so hard to find one

I just can't believe it

[sick pollen]

be nice bro, theyre already going out of their way giving you info

[drifting geode]

yeah true

zoke maybe u can suggest something

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

[sick pollen]

Why would you think its any easier for them? 😭 youre just giving them YOUR problem bro

[ebon marlin]

just search gaming laptop and see if you can find any laptops that have these gpu's as they are usually at the 200 buck pricepoint

[sick pollen]

Im not knowledgeable about these kinds of stuff i js started researching about pc parts like a month ago

[ebon marlin]

with ur linked laptops you'll only be able to play vanilla minecraft and basic roblox games meanwhile with a laptop with a proper gpu could play any minecraft modpack and any roblox game

[drifting geode]

same mann

[drifting geode]

I can't find any maybe m area don't got

[ebon marlin]

did you try searching the term "gaming laptop"

[drifting geode]

yedd

[broken saffron]

what are the results

[drifting geode]

yes

dell

[broken saffron]

send ss

[hollow sorrel]

Thinking of going for the ryzen 5 9600x over the 7600, would that be wise? The price difference is about £30

[drifting geode]

i kinda wanna buy on eBay BC Facebook is dogey

[ebon marlin]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/306062600068 @drifting geode

[drifting geode]

and i believe eBay is better for my situation

[broken saffron]

bro just go yourself to pick it up and test it

[junior valve]

how much does it cost?

[broken saffron]

and just open it up and see inside

[drifting geode]

my budget is 200

[ebon marlin]

I just realised it's in the US so shipping might be a bit

[drifting geode]

I'm in the UK

[ebon marlin]

yeah that's 192 pounds unsure about shipping

international shipping exists

[drifting geode]

it's 250

[ebon marlin]

250 usd

google 250 usd to pounds rq

[drifting geode]

i want one from uk anyways tbh

is there any others

[ebon marlin]

idk i can't be arsed I got better things to do rn

[grave crystal]

what would you guys say is a fair price for me to sale a computer with a rzyen 75800x,4060ti 16GB, 16Gb DDR4 4400Mhz, 360mm aorus AIO, 750W corsair cx750m psu, 2Tb Samsung 970 Evo, and a Mustex case?

[drifting geode]

fairs ima get the hp

bc i used to use a geobook 1e 💀🙏

[ebon marlin]

ur loss

[drifting geode]

what do I get then

[frosty wolf]

3090 pc for 1k$, seems a good deal

[drifting geode]

bc ppl recommended the hp for me

[ebon marlin]

we've told you everything to search for

[topaz shale]

ill take it off your hands for 30$ and a dennys giftcard

[drifting geode]

how much ram then

[ebon marlin]

8gb-16gb

[grave crystal]

😭

[drifting geode]

tell me all specs to look for pls

[ebon marlin]

I already did

[drifting geode]

ram:
processor:

[grave crystal]

i was looking fr at about 1100-1225 tho

[drifting geode]

that was ages ago

[ebon marlin]

i already did and processors vary alot

[ebon marlin]

that was couple minutes ago

[drifting geode]

idk tbh I'm just gonnna save

[frosty wolf]

I'm seeing 4060 and 5700x3d build for around 800, so 1.1k is not unreasonable

[true stirrup]

You are not getting that much

[ebon marlin]

probably around 600 bucks

[junior valve]

@rigid fjord what do you think about this tubes setup?

[rigid fjord]

that'll work but tbf, would still get one with a distro and not a reservoir built in

[junior valve]

that will touch my gpus though

[storm jasper]

Hi

[ashen hedge]

I don’t understand how Sony can do perfect SDR to HDR conversion, on the ps5 SDR media looks perfect in HDR mode but in windows if you dare try to watch SDR content while HDR is enabled it will look absolutely awful

[tidal geyser]

looks good to me

[tidal geyser]

windows 10 or 11?

[ashen hedge]

Nah the black levels are raised

Don’t use HDR mode for SDR content in windows

Microsoft can’t do the conversion correctly

[tidal geyser]

OLED?

[ashen hedge]

Microsoft don’t use the correct curve to convert content

[tidal geyser]

what display do you have

what version of windows do you have

[true stirrup]

I'm calling a HDR400 rated monitor

[ebon marlin]

hdr400 my beloved there's nothing better in this world than hdr400 monitors

[ashen hedge]

As of version 22H2, Windows 11 does not allow us to pick which tone curve to use for SDR — in fact it uses neither of the above. Instead, Windows 11 uses what's called the piecewise sRGB transfer function, originally intended for computer/web use. This curve is technically the tone response that gamma 2.2 approximates, but for various reasons it wasn't commonly used as an actual display EOTF. Gamma 2.2 took over as the pseudo-standard, and almost every computer monitor still uses it to this day.

Because it's so prolific, almost all web content and computer games are color graded using a gamma-2.2 outputting monitor, intentionally or not. For Microsoft to decide using piecewise sRGB as the virtual SDR curve was a mistake; it forcibly renders almost all apps and web content to look incorrect, some more than others.

There you go that’s why SDR looks bad in HDR mode

[ashen hedge]

Oh and btw I’m on an oled, this is nothing to do with poor HDR

[ebon marlin]

I can't tell the difference ngl

unless that's the point?

[ashen hedge]

Then you’re blind

There’s a big difference

[ebon marlin]

ig the platform looks a bit darker?

that's the only thing I can tell

[tidal geyser]

the bottom one is a bit darker

[ashen hedge]

flick betweeen the two

[tidal geyser]

this is on a 10 bit OLED

[ebon marlin]

yeah I can tell the difference now

[ashen hedge]

you'll see windows raises the black levels of SDR content quite significantly

Because of the curve they use

[tidal geyser]

ok yeah its washed out

[tidal geyser]

on OLED there is actually a pretty big difference

[ashen hedge]

this is why you shouldnt watch sdr stuff in hdr mode on windows

[tidal geyser]

one actually looks like dark is dark the other one not so much

[woeful leaf]

right looks better

[tidal geyser]

was mostly using HDR but then just stopped since it makes discord screen shots super duper dark

[tidal geyser]

left is windows hdr to sdr

[ashen hedge]

or you could leave hdr on and force autohdr on all games that also works

[sinful cobalt]

Having HDR on valorant makes it look like absolute shit

it just simply sucks balls

[tidal geyser]

HDR on non OLEDs in general tend to looks horrible

[sinful cobalt]

I do like HDR tho

[ashen hedge]

sometimes autohdr is weird though so be careful

[sinful cobalt]

Still thinking if I wanna cop that alienware oled rn

[ashen hedge]

rtx hdr is better at converting sdr games to hdr but not all games support it

[grave crystal]

whats a good price for ThermalTake DDR4 4400mhz ram i see the shit going for 150 but obviously not getting near that

[tidal geyser]

i know high dynamic range is meant to make everything look better and so on but i really do not see windows supprting it any well

[tidal geyser]

4.4Khz ddr4 ram?

[grave crystal]

yea

[tidal geyser]

why

[grave crystal]

bc fuck corsair for frying two slots on my motherboard

[tidal geyser]

that still does not say anything

[true stirrup]

Just don't go with 4400MT/s

[grave crystal]

well yea ik that but originally i bought them for like 60

[tidal geyser]

if you want ram speeds go ddr5, a simple 2x16 3200 kit is only like 50$

[grave crystal]

no no im selling

[tidal geyser]

cool so do the last part

[true stirrup]

2x16Gb?

[grave crystal]

2x8

[tidal geyser]

ew

150$ for 2x8

[fallow yacht]

my dumbass finally changed from raid to ahci without reinstalling

[grave crystal]

yea i aint upgraded in a while

[tidal geyser]

you have ddr4 4400

[fallow yacht]

turns out i had to boot into safe mode after disabling vmd

[tidal geyser]

that aint old

[true stirrup]

Yeah $50-60 max

[grave crystal]

had it for like 2 years now

[tidal geyser]

exactly

[true stirrup]

Hopefully today I can get my ram stable at 6800MT/s again
Hopefully the issue really was just bios corruption

[fallow yacht]

HOLY SHIT

no more shit RAID 0 finally

[tidal geyser]

if the bios corrupted from tuning memory i might wanna avoid doing it or something

[analog hill]

can someone tell me if the screen on the asus tuf a14 is made out of plastic or glass with antireflective coating

[tidal geyser]

why

[fallow yacht]

almost every display is glass mate

you probably meant if your display is gloss or matte

[tidal geyser]

ummm

[analog hill]

nah man i was just a bit skeptic with the build quality thats all

[tidal geyser]

you mean the other way around right

or no wait am i being kinda dumb or wait

[true stirrup]

TestMem5 showed 3 errors that together "might indicate" bios corruption so I just updated the bios
It could also just be that it's always had an issue because a couple of months ago windows kept fucking my ram and the ability to post

[fallow yacht]

most laptop panels are glass

[rigid fjord]

not if you get the right one

[tidal geyser]

my oled is 100% glass but my side 1080p feels and sounds like plastic

my laptop is 100% plastic since the keyboard has made marks in the display

dell is just horrible

[abstract wigeon]

if you owned a supermarket what would you call it

[woeful leaf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w9gpVF is this a good build (i bought gpu used last month)

sfx build btw

[fallow yacht]

would be better investment for am5 tbh

[woeful leaf]

yeah ig

[fallow yacht]

oh so everything is used

[woeful leaf]

no just the gpu

[fallow yacht]

why is there no store price then

[woeful leaf]

i bought the gpu but im buying the rest new cause cant find any decent deals around me

[fallow yacht]

you're polish right?

[woeful leaf]

it took prices from amazon but im buying it from other website where its cheaper

[woeful leaf]

yeah

[fallow yacht]

why not german amazon it probably ships to poland too

[true stirrup]

Set the custom price then

[strange atlas]

In whole İstanbul couldnt find a single m2 screw...

[woeful leaf]

yeah but its cheaper if i just buy it from some polish shop

[woeful leaf]

i did tho

[strange atlas]

What am i gonna do

[rigid fjord]

it's decent but why an a520i when you could have gone b550i?

[true stirrup]

AliExpress

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/its-pretty-cheap-marques-brownlee-its-affordable-its-inexpensive-its-budget-friendly-gif-12730920786572924941

[woeful leaf]

it costs 1.5x times more

[strange atlas]

Turkey borders

[woeful leaf]

actually more than 1.5

[true stirrup]

So?

[rigid fjord]

tbf that dude is to busy doing 95 in a 30

[gloomy sleet]

lmao

on a sponsored video too

[tidal geyser]

knew you were going to say that

[strange atlas]

They either dont let it or heavily put prices on it so you dont get it :d

[true stirrup]

It's a couple cents

[fallow yacht]

IMO am5 is a better investment

[strange atlas]

Nope

[fallow yacht]

might cost a bit but it's still supported

[tidal geyser]

ofc it is but have you seen mini itx motherboard pices for it?

[strange atlas]

Border control sucks here

[fallow yacht]

shit speeds regardless

[strange atlas]

They let people without pasaports in but not screws so freaking nice

[fallow yacht]

@rigid fjord finally disabled VMD without reinstalling

[rigid fjord]

it is, yes, but tbf can still do a lot on am4 still

[rigid fjord]

noice

[rigid fjord]

oof, ge3 x2 speeds

[rigid fjord]

actually cheaper on am5 compared to am4 when itx was released

[fallow yacht]

ironically boot times are faster now

[gloomy sleet]

that’s not that bad

unless your transferring 100gb files regularly i guess

[rigid fjord]

sn500 (gen 3 x2) vs sn570 (gen 3 x4)

[fallow yacht]

my drives are now finally recognized on setup

[fallow yacht]

mine is a foresee ssd

[rigid fjord]

i should really swap out my sn500 at some point for a larger drive

that + 2 more mx500's

[fallow yacht]

probably a bottleneck for me atp

and raid too cuz boot times was actually slow

[gloomy sleet]

my gen 3 drives are 1000mbs-1500mbs

[high elm]

this has to be the worst binned 13900k ever

102 p core 72 e core

92 average

[solar moat]

that long way form worse

worse ones are just over 1.5

[high elm]

damn 1.5 volts

[solar moat]

1.504V

good ones are just under 1.4 like 1.397V

[solar moat]

aka shoud of been 13900ks or 14900k if any better

[high elm]

1.454 is pretty average?

[sinful cobalt]

it has been sitting in a drawer for a month

[solar moat]

its the mode

[high elm]

ohh

[solar moat]

wait got that wrong

[sinful cobalt]

also skem

[solar moat]

what ever math name is for one in midel of range

[junior valve]

mine only goes up to 1.2

[strange atlas]

I have open old hdd apart and i think this screw is usable for m2

I dont think that hdd can be usable anymore though

[solar moat]

under what?

[shy lake]

So I got my 9070 installed yesterday
Framerates are really great, as expected. I dont play a ton of super intense AAA titles but still a couple heavy games.

Some games do have a bit of jittering and stuttering no matter the settings
However this may be fixed with a driver update like AMD has done at the start of previous launches

I am also severely... cpu bottlenecked right now so that prob doesnt help

[junior valve]

fullload

[high elm]

no way right

[junior valve]

cinerbench

[high elm]

iirc mine needs at least 1.35

[junior valve]

i set the intel default settings to extreme

[solar moat]

yep that not what we where looking at

[solar moat]

the SP they where looking at that is calced of VID of single coer

[junior valve]

limited to 253w though

[solar moat]

aka 5.8ghz 1.45V

[solar moat]

there not looking at same thing you are

[high elm]

o

yeah mine wont even let me use asus’s ai oc profile

it just straight up crashes

[sinful cobalt]

hey where ur yeston 9070xt reservation

[high elm]

sold out bro

[sinful cobalt]

wtf

[broken saffron]

does macbook pro miniled have same depth as oled screens for blacks

[sinful cobalt]

9070xt had a rly good launch ig

except for the msrp drama

[junior valve]

what ever this means

[solar moat]

power limit =253W for short and long

[junior valve]

huh

my cooler can only tame 250w

[solar moat]

ok

[sinful cobalt]

overclock the cooler

[rigid fjord]

what cpu?

[glossy veldt]

how did he get a 9070 in the first place

[rigid fjord]

got it at the right time/pre-ordered

[glossy veldt]

lucky

[tidal geyser]

turn on rebar

[glossy veldt]

rebar tends to rust inside concrete

[tidal geyser]

amd had massive amounts of stocks

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/encadenado-cage-steelwire-gif-13378949

[grave jay]

my macbook display panel feels like plastic

[tidal geyser]

nice

[grave crystal]

would $500 for a 7900 GRE be a good deal?

[glossy veldt]

guess what display panels are made out of

[tidal geyser]

that is not a gpu

[grave jay]

glass?

[rigid fjord]

if it's the non-galvanized stuff, yeah it may, , but even if it is that, you won't even see it

[tidal geyser]

nor anything

[grave crystal]

meant none xt

my bad

[glossy veldt]

no last i checked not many laptops have glass displays

[tidal geyser]

i would wait a short while and rather go for a rx 9070 non xt then that tbh

[rigid fjord]

7900gre exists though

[tidal geyser]

it does but not gre xt

[grave crystal]

yea i miss typed on that

[grave jay]

yeah but bloom

[tidal geyser]

golden rabbit edition

[rigid fjord]

ah

[glossy veldt]

i dont even wanna post my display in this chat

[broken saffron]

oh fuck

[tidal geyser]

what do you have now

[glossy veldt]

sick

[grave crystal]

4060ti rn i like it but kinda under powered for my ryzen 7 5800x ive been told

[tidal geyser]

its not

well not really both parts are pretty good together

[broken saffron]

doe sit look as bad in person or is it better

[glossy veldt]

did you get your info from softonic

[grave jay]

worse irl

[tidal geyser]

XD

[broken saffron]

ooh damn which one do you have

[tidal geyser]

that was removed

[iron glen]

my gif expired

what the fuck

[tidal geyser]

how

[grave crystal]

lmao just some friends who are deep into computers and ngl i kinda regret buying the card just imo didnt live up to it for the cost

[iron glen]

ask something simpler

[grave jay]

macbook pro m1 pro but i think the difference is just brighter from later version

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-cat-cat-meme-nuh-uh-cat-gif-9271722470286310300

[glossy veldt]

putting your cpu and gpu in one of the thousands of bottleneck calculator it tells me there's 10% cpu bottleneck

[broken saffron]

dwym brighter

[tidal geyser]

o nooo, how much did it cost

[grave jay]

what

[iron glen]

ohh

[grave jay]

this the display idk

[iron glen]

the bot i used to make it deleted it from its storage

[grave crystal]

think i paid 400-425 for it last year

its the 16gb

[solar moat]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mc8QKq rate this build

[glossy veldt]

honestly

thats close to "MSRP"

for the 4060 ti

your gpu isn't causing a bottleneck

[gloomy sleet]

bottleneck

[glossy veldt]

calculators say it's the cpu being a bottleneck at 1080p

[grave crystal]

i suppose but i still regret it

[gloomy sleet]

please never say that word

[gloomy sleet]

don’t use those

[glossy veldt]

why when it's easier to tell someone who doesn't know about computers

[tidal geyser]

good joke

[gloomy sleet]

don’t.

[glossy veldt]

that their gpu is fine

[gloomy sleet]

just say that their gpu is fine?

[iron glen]

why must discord be so greedy

[glossy veldt]

there is a kind of disappointing amount of people who don't understand those words

[strange atlas]

Didnt fit

[grave jay]

cus big corpo needs to make money to support their business

[glossy veldt]

Graun D. Mullner?!?

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-23137893

[strange atlas]

Yes? Do i know you

[glossy veldt]

no

[iron glen]

an extra 5mb of upload storage aint hurt their profits

[broken saffron]

i meant wdym by brigther from later version

[gloomy sleet]

it is

it 100% is

[grave jay]

100nits brighter, but the panel is the same

[glossy veldt]

poor poor discord corp when their thousands of servers worldwide can't handle over 5 mb uploads*

[strange atlas]

Aight do you need anything

[broken saffron]

also what brightness was it on when you took the photo

[iron glen]

mightaswell remove the image feature then

[glossy veldt]

i would like a better gpu sir Graun

[gloomy sleet]

they said they were considering it

[strange atlas]

If i take my 2.5 inch ssd apart i wonder if those screw fit for m2

[broken saffron]

@gloomy sleet is bloom huge on your mbp?

[broken saffron]

like this much

[strange atlas]

What kinda system you have and whats your budget and are you down for second hand

[grave jay]

like i turn the exposure really low

[glossy veldt]

oh it was a joke

i've already doubled down on the RTX A2000

[grave jay]

oh the laptop itself

100% brightness

[iron glen]

not suprised

[strange atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-gorilla-think-monke-monki-gif-25919916

[broken saffron]

yep

[glossy veldt]

i think sdd mounting screws are M3

[strange atlas]

I hope my 2.5 inch ssd have same screws as these

[broken saffron]

oh ig im never gonna use it on that high brightness

[glossy veldt]

you can try but don't force screws they can eat the thread

[strange atlas]

Im okay even if half of it goes in

[glossy veldt]

bigger screw = death

[broken saffron]

just search it up online

[glossy veldt]

that's probably better than my pc

[strange atlas]

Its okay i wont lose anything if this wont happen i will tape m2 ssf down

[grave jay]

yeah ajnt that bad at nirmal brigthness but when hdr it shows

[glossy veldt]

macbooks are dookie dook

my n4020 chromebook wins

what the fuck

between 1600 and 1900 usd?!??

[broken saffron]

what is it like on half brightness?

[glossy veldt]

see macbooks are so dooklie, my CCFL LCD wins

[broken saffron]

ahh man

[broken saffron]

i hope its not too much in m4

but its the same panel i think

ok nvm apparently its better

[grave jay]

https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/1hwv294/anyone_get_blooming_on_m4/

[glossy veldt]

man i wish my LCD still had CCFL

[broken saffron]

might be a display issue

[glossy veldt]

those were so bright

[real lantern]

i'm in awe due to this magnificent creation

[grave jay]

thats just the side effect of miniled ig

but ig not vunerable to burn in is a good thing

[broken saffron]

idk but from what im seeing on reddit its different for some people and they just exchange it

[grave jay]

i see

[broken saffron]

ig ill just test it out in the store and buy offline

[grave jay]

yeah better see it for urself

[broken saffron]

yeah i feel its better than buying online

look at 3:55 here @grave jay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhqCC70ZfDM

[real lantern]

did you know you can copy timestamped urls from youtube

[grave jay]

yeah its way better than the ipad

[broken saffron]

yeah too lazy

[harsh vector]

I want to replace my XM5 since the left cup rattles/vibrates during bassy parts when ANC is on. Looked at other ANC headphones and they suffer from the same thing.

Should I just get anc earphones for PC gaming and daily usage?

[grave jay]

but i guess he got the exposure down

[real lantern]

it's literally 2 buttons clicks

[broken saffron]

theres braely any bloom on his

[grave jay]

no bloom

[broken saffron]

wha did you do?

[broken saffron]

yeah too lazy

[grave jay]

exposure

tbh for nomal usage it isnt that noticable

[broken saffron]

does it look bad?

[graceful meadow]

Heard about snappy drivers to update all drivers. Anyone knows if its save?

[grave jay]

unless hdr, it isnt that bad

[tidal geyser]

its trash and just a virus

[broken saffron]

without changing the exposure?

[grave jay]

no i mean the exposure of the camera

[broken saffron]

oh

[tidal geyser]

anything that claims to update all your drivers tends to just be a virus

[graceful meadow]

Alright good, so how do i update drivers? windows should do it automatically in windows updates right?

[tidal geyser]

specs

[grave jay]

u can see the hdr kicks in

[graceful meadow]

i5 10400f RTX 3060, 16GB Ram

[tidal geyser]

then its just display drivers from the nvidia app

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/software/nvidia-app/

[broken saffron]

is this an issue when streaming content?

[graceful meadow]

Alright already got that, thanks for the quick help.

[grave jay]

hdr is off at 100%brightness

[broken saffron]

is it as prominent

[grave jay]

no thats just hdr

hdr makes the vid brighter

and thus the bloom worsens

but ig you wont be watching a vid of a pure white line at 100% brightness + hdr

[broken saffron]

yea

also @grave jay it seems like most people talking about bloom have a m1 mac

[grave jay]

turning off hdr lessens the effect but why would spend $2000 for that

[broken saffron]

there are some about m4 but its not too significant apparently and if it is its a display issue

[grave jay]

better off seeing the real deal for urself

[broken saffron]

yeah

[grave jay]

hope u wont regret it later lol

[broken saffron]

if there is bloom on my display will they change it there itself?

[grave jay]

uhhh like replace the display?

[broken saffron]

idk i want to use it for coding and sometimes there will be white lines on black bg

[broken saffron]

idk either that or change the macbook itself

[grave jay]

cus bloom is normal for miniled

[broken saffron]

nah if its extreme or something

[random gyro]

Hello, I just started my pc and a command prompt suddenly opened and disappeared, should I be worried? I only downloaded battlefield 2042 from steam earlier

[grave jay]

[quick stag]

WARSHIPS, ASSEMBLE!

[broken saffron]

ig its fine then

[iron glen]

my hands smell like butter and cinnamon

[solar moat]

dose not matter what borad you get as long as vrm dose not melt with cpu/got all the I/O you need

and other then that maybe not 50 cards

[inner veldt]

It has 12 vrm

[tidal geyser]

just use pcpartpicker

[solar moat]

many lie

[lapis condor]

Doesn't matter

[tidal geyser]

do you use more then like 400w

[solar moat]

Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi 7 lies about it

and i to lazy to check for that one since i need to read data sheats on the chips on the board and find image of the chip so i can read it

[lapis condor]

I love adding useless info to the conversation

It doesn't matter if it's 12 phases or 6 doubled, you still get 12 power stages of current capability

[tidal geyser]

welp im gonna grab some new headphones as i need some new parts and there is free shipping if i spend enough sooo now im looking at the Xiaomi Redmi Buds 6 Active vs Xiaomi Buds 3

sooooo if anyone has em leme know

[inner veldt]

Nope

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/spbGdb

[tidal geyser]

then it could not matter less

[tidal geyser]

also why 5080

[inner veldt]

Used different mobo because of theres no colorful battle ax b650m

[inner veldt]

I can fit that into my budget

Card is 1400 USD

[forest lotus]

There's better buys tbh

[tidal geyser]

GODS NO

you know its meant to be 1k

[forest lotus]

Way better buys

[tidal geyser]

and people still say its expensive

[elder quarry]

Get a used 4090 at that point

[forest lotus]

Please for the love of God don't buy that lmfao

[tidal geyser]

XD

[elder quarry]

Not really but

[inner veldt]

I live in Turkey btw

[tidal geyser]

itgs well over 1400USD

[inner veldt]

Used pcpartpicker to show pc

[tidal geyser]

what is the price of a 9070 xt?

[inner veldt]

1000 USD

[forest lotus]

If there are any.

[elder quarry]

Yeah, especially after end of prod.

[tidal geyser]

jesus

[forest lotus]

Yeah they uhh. They got sold out fast

And retailers iirc in EU/UK are ripping people tf off

[sinful cobalt]

5080 is not worth it over 70ti

[inner veldt]

Ah

[forest lotus]

Newegg, ebuyer, Amazon. Canceling backorders.

[tidal geyser]

well its like 10-15% is it not

[inner veldt]

5080 is 250-300 USD more expensive, ur right

[forest lotus]

Not to mention the scalping

[sinful cobalt]

realistically 10% tbh

[gloomy sleet]

it’s like £200 more

[gloomy sleet]

that’s literally within like overclocking range lmao

[inner veldt]

Phantom spirit would be enough right?

[sinful cobalt]

In SGP
5070ti= $1450 SGD
5080= $2050 SGD 💀

[rigid fjord]

yes tbh

[sinful cobalt]

phantom spirit 120 evo slaps everything

[sinful cobalt]

msrp models and assuming u get msrp*

[gloomy sleet]

what’s the performance different from the 4070 ti super and the 4080 super i wonder

[sinful cobalt]

both have the same oc potential p’much

[modest pivot]

r7 7700x is fine for coding right?

[sinful cobalt]

like 10-15%

[modest pivot]

coding, gaming, editing

[gloomy sleet]

damn

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[gloomy sleet]

i’d get a 7600 or a 7700

[tidal geyser]

DAMIT

[tidal geyser]

a n100 is fine for coding

[modest pivot]

xiaomi buds are £12 ?? 😭

[sinful cobalt]

nah u should get the i17 69420KS

[tidal geyser]

the play are even cheaper

[rigid fjord]

ideal tbh

[tidal geyser]

sadly i am just short

[sinful cobalt]

spend more moners

[tidal geyser]

i am trying to do that

but i do not like being wastful

[sinful cobalt]

look at what happened to me when I decided “nah imma skip and get it later”

[peak saddle]

Does anyone have a bios bin file for the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ITL05

[sinful cobalt]

but this is still up for grabs

[broken saffron]

thats around 50 usd right

oh nvm 100

[tidal geyser]

[sinful cobalt]

311 sgd (after discount) to fkin 459 best part is locally they themself sell 409

[broken saffron]

[broken saffron]

now its 459 tho

[sinful cobalt]

yes indeed i got this robin acrylic from robin earbuds which is from ali

[sinful cobalt]

yea now this $459 is local source

their pricelist has the board listed for 409

[broken saffron]

damn pc looks neat

that acrylic isnt working tbh

[broken saffron]

how much is it on alie

[sinful cobalt]

the gpu is too big for a good position

[sinful cobalt]

$329 for the M version but ama sells like $298

[chilly zephyr]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/user/J101/saved/#view=phT3Hx is this good to upgrde my laptop? (i only olay cs2, hoi 4, hl2, portal2 and roblox while listening to spotify while on discord)

[broken saffron]

idk if it would look very nice anywhere. have you considered etching something to the panel tho?

[sinful cobalt]

nope

[broken saffron]

which laptop is it

[chilly zephyr]

it is in the part list name

[sinful cobalt]

when and if I change case which might be arnd q4, im looking at the hyte y70 or even havn hs420

[broken saffron]

also get like artic mx 6 or something @chilly zephyr . honeywell ptm7950 if you can

[chilly zephyr]

it has only 1 m.2 slot so i got an 2,5in

[chilly zephyr]

i know but it thermalthrottles a lot and i dont have a problem swiching out thermal paste every 1 year or so

[broken saffron]

yeah then go with the options i gave they are better

[chilly zephyr]

ok

[gloomy sleet]

copy and paste ass description

this is £220 btw

[sinful cobalt]

i still have my am5 kryosheet sitting around n prob never seeing the light of day till I change my case and mobo

[broken saffron]

also use two ram sticks instead of having just one @chilly zephyr . if your laptop has two slots that is

[broken saffron]

lol

[chilly zephyr]

it has 4gb soldered and 4gb sodimm

[gloomy sleet]

yeah i’m fine thanks

[broken saffron]

[broken saffron]

yeah thats good

[tidal geyser]

Xiaomi Redmi Buds 6 Active - Blue it is with some ESD stuff too

[broken saffron]

do they have active noise cancellatin

[tidal geyser]

nope and that is kinda the point of em

[chilly zephyr]

it is a multi media laptop rn, i will make it a very budget gaming laptop

[tidal geyser]

the lite does have ANC tho

[broken saffron]

wdym their point?

[broken saffron]

its a vivobook right

[gloomy sleet]

passive noise cancelling is the best type of noise cancelling

[chilly zephyr]

i am getting cmf pro2 are they good?

[chilly zephyr]

mhm

[hidden juniper]

I’m keen on running total war warhammer 3 at 3440 x 1440p at above 100 fps (preferably near to 165 fps). What is the recommended GPU for this? Would it be a 5080 or 9070 XT? I don’t think DLSS is available for the title, so it’ll just be raw performance for the 5080, which I can use AMD’s driver-level frame generation technology.

[gloomy sleet]

can’t beat a good pair of iem silicon tips

[tidal geyser]

well for me the point is that i can hear music but also sounds around me since i already have overear headphones with ANC

[broken saffron]

integrated graphics tho sadly

[broken saffron]

oh

[chilly zephyr]

yeah, but i dont play heavy games

[tidal geyser]

the 6 play has it and is like 10$

no ANC tho for that low

[gloomy sleet]

damn

[broken saffron]

yea should be fine with roblox and all not sure about the other ones i havent layed cs2 or portal2

[chilly zephyr]

here is my list of gmes

• CS2
• HL2
• Portal 2
• ROBLOX
• HOI4

[chilly zephyr]

cs2 is like 2004 era oof

[chilly zephyr]

portal 2 is 2014

bye, gtg

[tidal geyser]

cool little thing about em, you can see the insides

[broken saffron]

damn

@tidal geyser do you know that one chinese company with crazy quality earphones and decent prices i cant recall

[tidal geyser]

[tidal geyser]

aaa not looking for wireless

[sinful cobalt]

singapor

[modest pivot]

ah

[gloomy sleet]

fair enough

[rigid fjord]

when people learn there's more than one kind of dollar

[gloomy sleet]

those are wireless pretty cool

[modest pivot]

LOL

[gloomy sleet]

didn’t know there were any real budget wireless iems

[broken saffron]

[tidal geyser]

get warshipped

[rigid fjord]

usd,cad,aud,sgd,hkd and a couple more on top of that

[sinful cobalt]

“its time to spread democracy”

[sinful cobalt]

ts normally retails for 1k+ SGD

[sinful cobalt]

budget and wireless iems do not go well

[broken saffron]

yeah im saying 1k sgd is like 750 usd

[gloomy sleet]

why not

[gloomy sleet]

the ones i’m using rn i got for £50 and have been perfect

[sinful cobalt]

whats ur use case bcs im assuming gaming

[gloomy sleet]

music

[modest pivot]

600 dollars for a monitor? seems a bit high priced

[gloomy sleet]

i do also play games but not the games where having good audio really matters at all

[tidal geyser]

not if its OLED

[rigid fjord]

it's alienware, so not a surprise

[gloomy sleet]

you don’t really need audio in a racing game to have a good time

[sinful cobalt]

Its OLED, and over here we got a +19% total tax

[modest pivot]

manufactured in area 51

[modest pivot]

ah right

[elder quarry]

Who wireless what

[sinful cobalt]

the only use case for audio in a racing game time trial is to naturally know when to shift

[tidal geyser]

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

[sinful cobalt]

im gonna cop the oled nxt week hopefully b4 the deal goes

[gloomy sleet]

ehhh

even then just look at your tachometer

[elder quarry]

Huh

[tidal geyser]

wtf i am only able to do home delivery even when i put the address as a store that has that shipping company for delivery

[gloomy sleet]

you have rev leds in most race cars for a reason

[iron glen]

yesssss

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-girl-wave-hi-chat-gif-2365642607471124822

[sinful cobalt]

most of the time I listen to the revs, Id be more concerned about the spacing, braking zone and lining on screen

[broken saffron]

does the nno texture on mbp have any blooming?

[sinful cobalt]

good surround sound is also very nice for multiplayer

you can hear the other car revs behind u

[gloomy sleet]

peripheral vision

[sinful cobalt]

Im reliant on sound bcs I played wangan (the arcade) and u dont have a dedicated mirror in 3rd person

[tidal geyser]

WELP GUESS IM SPENDING 3k nok on this shit since i can only do home delivery

[gloomy sleet]

this is what i play with on my hud

the rev leds are literally right there

[iron glen]

Gotcha

[tidal geyser]

[tidal geyser]

i said ok

[strange atlas]

press okay? aight

[pseudo swallow]

@frail delta The transfer worked without iCloud. Btw android is soo much better then iOS

[strange atlas]

huh after i pressed okay disk dissappared

[frail delta]

You never said anything about a transfer? I have no clue what you're talking about...

[strange atlas]

i'm in disk management i should have been able to see it

weird

maybe restarting fixes

[stoic nova]

Anyone got any tips for cleaning the "paste" (more like of a clay texture) outside the GPU die / between the array of caps and resistors

[iron glen]

alcohol and a q-tip ig

[strange atlas]

disk is gone after this hwelp

[stoic nova]

It's not if barely breaking it down

Oh well may as well pull up some music this gonna take a while

[true stirrup]

If you are careful you can use a toothpick to loosen it up

[quick stag]

Guys I finally have my speaker orientation correct

[stoic nova]

I do have a dielectric pick but

[quick stag]

(previously)

[stoic nova]

It wouldn't take very much to pop off a cap

[quick stag]

Had to get a longer RCA cable

[strange atlas]

Can anybody help me i changed my disk to GPT disk is gone doesnt show up in disk management anymore what am i gonna do

[stoic nova]

Ironically chatgpt would give you the best instructions for this

[spring latch]

hopefully windows 10 2016 LTSB works fine on my little tiny box of shit

(shit hardware)

[strange atlas]

weird doesnt show up in disks but shows up in here hmm

[true stirrup]

Yeah you have to be very careful

[stoic nova]

The alternative to this is straight up bath time.

[strange atlas]

okay works now

[stoic nova]

Alright. Thanks

[spring latch]

if i had to guess you just didnt format it but idk what you did

[modest pivot]

i found this intel SATA ssd in a macbook on the side of the road, so i took it out and plugged it into a SATA to USB adapter to try and look into it
the actual label on the ssd says its 120 gigs, but in disk manager it only has 8mb?

[strange atlas]

i did and even if i didnt format it it had to be shown in disk management place

[spring latch]

mkay

[strange atlas]

go disk partition

[modest pivot]

already did to create a volume for the disk - shows 8MB in there

[spring latch]

run dialog
diskpart
lis dis
sel dis <number>
clean (or clear i frogot)

[stoic nova]

Windows can't read APFS (Apple file system)

Your need to boot Linux to read the files

[strange atlas]

show this

[spring latch]

run dialog
diskpart
lis dis
sel dis <number>
clean (or clear i frogot)
Since your in windows this clears the partition table

obv

so if you really wanna see whats on it you need linux

or mac

[sinful cobalt]

i wanna cop so bad rn

[spring latch]

xpensiv

[elder quarry]

Nah

Is anyone here good with BIOS voltage stuff, I need to attempt to increase my ram voltage to make expo stable. I wanna know a safe increment to increase by and what the max should be, it's expo profile is already 1.4 volts

Hello, i want to know what is the best to do this :

• i have a linux distro on SSD A,
• i want to transfer it into a SSD B

[frail delta]

Clonezilla

[elder quarry]

Just boot a live image

[strange atlas]

weird hmm

[honest scarab]

My god I hate windows, I'm trying to log on but I'm having a blank login screen

What the hell do I do

[elder quarry]

use linux

[honest scarab]

I do want to but I wanna play r6

[stoic nova]

Boot safe mode

[elder quarry]

Oh rip

[stoic nova]

Hold f5 or f6 at boot

[elder quarry]

run with administrator

[uncut mason]

i am already on adminster

[honest scarab]

Cant even get into safe mode

[stoic nova]

Become giganerd tier and carry a ventoy with you everywhere now

[honest scarab]

Whats the goal here exactly?

[elder quarry]

I have one on my keychain

[stoic nova]

If windows itself doesn't automatically do it if your UI / explorer.exe doesn't work. This shortcut manually starts windows at the advanced boot options screen

Safe boot starts windows with the bare minimum to work. Even loads it's generic gpu driver for display issues

[stoic nova]

Chad af

[elder quarry]

It’s actually very useful

[stoic nova]

Got a 1tb m.2 ventoy

[elder quarry]

I got a 128 gb flash

Is this normal like being stuck here for along time or it's broken

[stoic nova]

The sooner you reinstall the less of your time you waste hoping you can fix it

[uncut mason]

[honest scarab]

I would waste another 10 years to get back my windows to the way it was

[stoic nova]

Takes me 10 minutes

[fiery plover]

Wait is this for my question?

[stoic nova]

Reinstall doesn't always mean full format and fresh start

[stoic nova]

No.

cat the

[strange atlas]

why does it use that much god damn 70 gigs difference i bought 1 tb disk

[median warren]

cause windows

[strange atlas]

nothing installed on it

[sleek fulcrum]

hey all. quick question. where the heck is nvidia saving updated driver setups files. the folder i used to delete them from is no longer there. C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\Downloader

[median warren]

no not that, but because windows in general

[stoic nova]

No longer binaries.

[stoic nova]

Just cache data

[sleek fulcrum]

so it doesn't save setups after instal completes?

[strange atlas]

got it

[sleek fulcrum]

how does rollback work in this case?

[stoic nova]

It does. But since Nvidia app, it's not user accessible

[stoic nova]

Like it always has

[sleek fulcrum]

hmmm

[median warren]

@strange atlas

[graceful meadow]

should i use msi afterburner?

[median warren]

for what

[graceful meadow]

Overall for gaming like overclocking

[stoic nova]

What you got now

[median warren]

i mean you can use it to overlock your gpu and set fan curves

[graceful meadow]

Alright and how do i find the best overclock setting?

[solar moat]

only use for nvida gpus

[solar moat]

and gpu OC dose not much for perfomiocne

[stoic nova]

I'd use it if you don't install all the software with your GPU drivers.

I wouldn't use it if you installed adrenaline / Nvidia app

[solar moat]

ram is main one for gaming

[median warren]

i mean you can look online for it and just google your gpu, or you can just increase it slowly by little and see how stable it is and what performance gain you get

[median warren]

gotta squeeze every little piece of fps out yk

[solar moat]

what specs

[stoic nova]

Best OC settings is an under volt. Lower power limit

[sleek fulcrum]

can i delete everything in Installer2 folder ?

[median warren]

i dont oc so it doesnt matter for me

[stoic nova]

Why are poking around in there

[elder quarry]

what folder

[sleek fulcrum]

i read thats where it stores them now

[stoic nova]

What are you doing
