[clear canyon]

i just prefer brave

[tidal geyser]

WHY

[whole garden]

Why

[cinder raptor]

And not just because he created javascript! He's an actual bad dude

[gloomy sleet]

the weirdest ever you always find on fb marketplace

[woeful leaf]

would it be fine if i used c- tier psu for a more midrange build (5700x 6800xt)

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/skelly-head-smirk-gif-3866109040965245241

[woeful leaf]

chieftec compact sfx 650w

[random gyro]

i want it

[gloomy sleet]

all of these were the search result for “controller”

[cinder raptor]

I mean im fine with it. The real question is are you fine with it?

Keep in mind, im fine with it because im not the one building it or using it

[thorn cove]

Which GPU can get me the most bang for my buck for 600 bucks?

[blazing onyx]

9070xt

[tidal geyser]

9070 xt

[next dove]

@clear canyon

[thorn cove]

Are they restocked? because I saved money for them but they kinda arent available online...

[clear canyon]

yeah ur good

[tidal geyser]

wait a week or 2

[midnight meteor]

Is there anything I need to do in regards to the new Amd microcode venerability?

[next dove]

okay well thats good to know, i did get a new monitor a couple days ago so it must be that then? didnt get this issue before

[blazing onyx]

wait what?

[tidal geyser]

what

[thorn cove]

not without sacrificing an arm and a leg at least

[blazing onyx]

scalpers

[midnight meteor]

It’s a few days old now but the issue with zen 1-4

[tidal geyser]

link?

[cedar hollow]

i hate scalpers

[cinder raptor]

Not much you can do without a bios update

[midnight meteor]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/you-can-now-jailbreak-your-amd-cpu-google-researchers-release-kit-to-exploit-microcode-vulnerability-in-zen-1-to-zen-4-chips

[cedar hollow]

fuck scalpers fr they ruined my day

[blazing onyx]

we all do

[rapid quarry]

Preaching to the choir you are

[midnight meteor]

Here is the most recent one and when I google it I get some stuff from last month

[clear canyon]

check the cable, see if its connected correctly

[cedar hollow]

Fuck scalpers yes

[midnight meteor]

If they somehow exist still maybe a Rx 6800 xt or non xt

[rapid quarry]

Because of them, I am not upgrading my gpu anytime soon. I guess I’ll upgrade something else in the meantime

[midnight meteor]

It’s more bang for your buck but less of both

[rapid quarry]

But my 6700XT is here to stay for a while

[flint badger]

u mean like a month or two

[blazing onyx]

amd is alot better about it

give it a week or two and keep an eye out

[flint badger]

yeah but the 600 price tag will be gone

[blazing onyx]

unless its from a scalper, itll be around 600

[flint badger]

tariffs

[blazing onyx]

im IN the us, shits still around 600 normally

lel

[rapid quarry]

There are none in stock. The price is irrelevant

[flint badger]

i am too ive read reports saying only the first batch will be msrp at 600

[blazing onyx]

its irrelevant only because they arent in stock, Normally they are 600, theyre only 1200 because scalpers are selling them

[blazing onyx]

from w h o

[gloomy sleet]

7900xtx if you can find it

[midnight meteor]

There has been retailers saying they won’t be getting more stock at the same price

[midnight meteor]

Sadly those aren’t 600 bucks rn from what I have seen

[gloomy sleet]

used

[midnight meteor]

I don’t think 7900xts are that price en either

Used is a good idea

[jovial tide]

cinebench 2024 or r23

[flint badger]

https://videocardz.com/newz/retailer-confirms-radeon-rx-9070-msrp-only-applies-to-first-shipments-price-set-to-increase-later

[thorn cove]

I found a 7800 xt but all those ones are going for over 1000 new. I would rather buy new since its too expensive and I am afraid of getting something that wont last me for at least a couple of years

[azure topaz]

lmao this one is pretty bad tbh

[blazing onyx]

sends a website ive never heard of and then immediatly gives an image of someone selling them for 600

like what lmao

[midnight meteor]

I think you can like flash a bios for it but I came here cause tbh idk much about it

[strong sail]

already disproven by amd themselves, they say they will discourage board partners from doing that

[flint badger]

https://www.techspot.com/news/107051-amd-rx-9070-gpus-msrp-disappear-after-early.html

[flint badger]

discourage does not mean stop read between the lines

[strong sail]

ikik

but its better than nvidia has ever done lul

[midnight meteor]

They said encourage and encourage could mean continuing rebates

[blazing onyx]

ok so this is retail sources, not AMD themselves

[flint badger]

theyre literally say the board partners can do whatever they want we'll just ask nicely

[azure topaz]

you are more than likely not a target for any type of these attacks and should not really be worried, make sure you’re on the latest bios and you’re good

[flint badger]

well retail and the people who make the cases like gigabyte xfx sapphire

[midnight meteor]

I forget is there a way to do that from the and app?

[blazing onyx]

STILL not AMD

[midnight meteor]

I have not had to update stuff yet on this pc

[azure topaz]

always use your bios to flash the bios. never anything in any os

[midnight meteor]

Alright

[flint badger]

it literally means your not gonna see a 600$ 9070xt ever

[blazing onyx]

Unless AMD themselves raise the price of the card, its usually not gonna happen

[azure topaz]

bro the aibs can price the card whatever they want

[midnight meteor]

I’ll search up a guide to make sure I do it right

[flint badger]

hes coping rn chill

[blazing onyx]

yea, and as soon as they do people will go everywhere else

[azure topaz]

amd doesn’t really dictate shit besides a minimum pcb quality

[azure topaz]

where?

[flint badger]

where when everyone else follows suit

[blazing onyx]

literally any other aib

[azure topaz]

mind telling me an alternative?

[flint badger]

lol this guy

[azure topaz]

no aib gets exclusive “skip tariff” passes bro

[blazing onyx]

its like talking to brick walls i swear to god

[random gyro]

how do i get my mobo to stay in place before the screws so i can actually screw it in. When it try putting the io shield into yknow the place for the io shield it just pops back out and my figners are becoming numb

[azure topaz]

every card is going to increase in price because there is a 25% import fee on EVERY CARD

they’re not going to sell at a loss out of nowhere 😭

[flint badger]

https://tenor.com/view/cope-kendrick-kendrick-lamar-not-like-us-gif-17139725945846535931

[blazing onyx]

get the shield popped in fully then put the board in

[random gyro]

the shield came on the mobo

should i take it off?

[true stirrup]

The io shield should stay in place

[blazing onyx]

wait what

[azure topaz]

the problem is that every aib is going to increase price because of tariffs

[random gyro]

i took it out of the box and it had the io shield on it

[blazing onyx]

never seen a shield come mounted to the board, thats, something

[flint badger]

its fine hes gonna learn after a few more scalped releases like this morning

[azure topaz]

one company is not going to be content selling something for 25% less than the other

[random gyro]

so what do i do 😭

[azure topaz]

supply and demand yo basic rules

[blazing onyx]

you assume im buying one

im sticking with my laptop

[flint badger]

even if u arent u wont ever see it at 600

[azure topaz]

not saying you are but you should expect higher prices

[random gyro]

what do i doo 😭

[flint badger]

unless u go knock on amd hq door ig

[azure topaz]

amd does not dictate what aibs sell their cards for because the aibs already paid amd

[blazing onyx]

ok, if it comes mounted on the board then it shouldnt have to be snapped into place on the case

[random gyro]

wdym

[flint badger]

can i control the light on this 9070xt red devil or is it stuck on red

[random gyro]

WAIT

[blazing onyx]

does it have a lip where it should snap into the case

[random gyro]

ee im supposed to have the pc flat

im working against gravity rn 😭

[true stirrup]

Yes

[flint badger]

id like it to be white

[blazing onyx]

o-o

sweet jesus

[random gyro]

i hate myself rn ngl

[midnight meteor]

I recommend pictures

[true stirrup]

You should lay it down on its side

[random gyro]

aight brb chat

[tidal geyser]

soooo i got a client from one of my computers with a mic issue and he now bought a usb-c headset to see if that fixes it but it just does not want to work, tis a HyperX Cloud III

[blazing onyx]

wired im assuming?

oh wait usb c im just blind

uh

[tidal geyser]

he is um not very techy

[blazing onyx]

if theyre trying to use it as full headset with audio and mic, make sure windows is using it as a headset and not headphones

[tidal geyser]

first thing i said

claims he already done so

[blazing onyx]

you said hes not very techy, im questioning if he actually did it right

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaaa

[blazing onyx]

theres quite a few settings to dig through to get to that point

no offense

[tidal geyser]

well nothing taken to me

[blazing onyx]

none to him lmao

[tidal geyser]

na he understands

[random gyro]

raven the io shield still wont go in and its on its side

i cant screw anything in an i dont wanna break the board

[blazing onyx]

get a picture of it

[tidal geyser]

pic

[random gyro]

from the outside or inside

[blazing onyx]

of the shield

[random gyro]

or both

[tidal geyser]

the IO shield is on the motherboard

[blazing onyx]

doesnt matter if its inside or outside, just a picture of the IO shield

[tidal geyser]

f it do a 3D scan of the entire pc

[blazing onyx]

lmfao

[blazing onyx]

wouldnt be surprised if we already had a phone app to do that tbh

[tidal geyser]

that is correct

[blazing onyx]

that looks fine

[random gyro]

lemme show u how it lines up

[random gyro]

I taped my io shield cause I’m lazy don’t feel bad

[tidal geyser]

any iphone pro i think it was anything pro after 12 that has ildar

[tidal geyser]

his is attached to the motherboard

[blazing onyx]

Didnt know that, actually nice feature lol

[random gyro]

Lucky

My new board will have that thankfully

[blazing onyx]

seeing this i think i prefer it off the board lol

[tidal geyser]

also ipad pro after 2021 i think it was

[tidal geyser]

push it in a little

[random gyro]

i cant

[tidal geyser]

yes you can

[random gyro]

well i barely can and thats what i tried

its boutta slice my finger

[white furnace]

Go deeper

[tidal geyser]

get a better finger

[blazing onyx]

io shields usually have a bit of spring to them, just push it in a bit and put the screw in

[random gyro]

ill try again but ok

[blazing onyx]

also, shoutout to the chronic dumbass that told me that i could open bios using my motherboard with a ryzen 5 5600 lol

shit was funny to read

[tidal geyser]

[white furnace]

I don't remember

[tidal geyser]

aaa you mean igpu

[blazing onyx]

the dude told me i could open my bios using the motherboard outpput using just my cpu, even if it didnt have an igpu lol

[white furnace]

I didn't tell you anything

[tardy jay]

Is the 2080 Ti worth the price? (300$)

[plush wren]

[clear canyon]

2080ti is around a 3070, a 3060/4060 goes around 300 so yes, in my opinion, its a good deal

[tardy jay]

Neat!

[flint badger]

How do I get my ram to follow suit

[ember inlet]

I got one a year ago for about that it was great

[tulip quarry]

I have stable 50ms ping and 0.5% packet loss but i still get game lags like every 30s

Could my pc be the problem ? If it could what should i check ?

[random gyro]

all the screws are finally in 🙏 😭

[white furnace]

Ethernet or Wifi?

Could be your ISP

[tulip quarry]

I had the same problem with both

[white furnace]

Did you test from a different device

Different PC/Laptop

[tulip quarry]

Even though i have stable ping ?? And less than 0.5% packet loss

[south arrow]

[tulip quarry]

No

[bleak ledge]

Is it hard to solder the standoffs back onto a laptop?

It's supposed to hold the cooler on

[white furnace]

Yes

[white furnace]

Try that if the issue persists contact your ISP

[tulip quarry]

Is there another network problem other than ping and Packet loss that causes lag ?

[white furnace]

Try on a different device

[south arrow]

Depending on your skill yes 🍀

is it safe to use windows 10 after it gets shutdown ?>

[random gyro]

yes

[robust forum]

People still use 7 and xp

[next dove]

is there anything out of the ordinary here?

[random gyro]

that car aint movin

[robust forum]

It's just that stuff stops being supported.

Also am I the only one happy that tools like winaero exist?

[robust forum]

It makes windows 11 "tolerable"

[rapid quarry]

But what is that car's speed at that point in time?

i cant tell if that was a violation of my consent to do math in my head or not

[chrome zealot]

My 14700kf pulls 253w in Cinebench r23 but only does 230w in Intel Xtu benchmark, I only did UV in Xtu and not yet in the Bios, is that the reason or is Xtu just being silly?

[rapid quarry]

Obsessing over power draw between different stress tests is a fool's errand. Don't think too much about it

500 Chrome tabs all running endgame idle breakout

No adblockers

[next dove]

can i quickly speak to anyone who wouldn’t mind guiding me through plugging in a cpu fan header into the mobo?

[chrome zealot]

Before Undervolting they were both drawing 253w, that's why it seems off to me now

[mild onyx]

I wonder, is CrystalDiskInfo picky with drives that have SMART but don't report sectors

'cause uh, exhibit A

[next dove]

can anyone tell me how to plug this in? trying to put it into sys fan but i think the fan plug is like blocked or soemthing and doesnt go in?

[peak knot]

goes on the left 3 pins

this keys the fan header to ensure you put it on the correct pins

[next dove]

yeah that’s what i am trying, but i feel that it doesn’t go in because of the inside of the fan cable itself ? like it feels blocked

[peak knot]

the tabs go down on the header

[pliant snow]

Has anybody run the corsair 6600 cl32 48gb x 2 96gb kit on ryzen 9000 it’s only listed as xmp and want to know if it works

[vestal stream]

The Peugeot looks better

[thorny saddle]

It will not work at 6600 in 1:1. I have run 6400 CL32 96GB though.

[pliant snow]

They sell the 6400 cl32 and 6600 cl 32 both 96gb

[random gyro]

Is the Jonsbo C2 still a good case?

[pliant snow]

The dominator kit correct?

[thorny saddle]

Yes except 6600 won't work and 6400 barely will

No I used GSkill

[pliant snow]

I just want to know if it would work at like 6000 cl32 on ryzen as it says it’s only intel xmp

[pliant snow]

Does that also only say xmp?

[thorny saddle]

Yes you can manually tune the settings on any kit

[thorny saddle]

Yes

[pliant snow]

What memory chips does yours have

[thorny saddle]

Hynix

[pliant snow]

Yeah the 6600 is like the same price so that’s why I would get that one

[pliant snow]

And you run on ryzen?

[thorny saddle]

Yes

[pliant snow]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/memory/cmp96gx5m2b6600c32/dominator-titanium-rgb-2x48gb-ddr5-dram-6600mt-s-cl32-intel-xmp-memory-kit-cmp96gx5m2b6600c32#tab-techspecs

That’s the kit I’m looking at do you think if I lowered the speed to 6000 it would work?

Plan to go 9950x3d once it’s released

[tidal geyser]

Why 9950x3d?

[thorny saddle]

It should work yes

[pliant snow]

Because it will be good for gaming and I need cores for cad

[tidal geyser]

Fair enough

[pliant snow]

Ty for the help

[pliant snow]

That’s also why I want 96gb ram

[thorny saddle]

I'm picking one up Wednesday

[pliant snow]

Fusion limits itself to 16 but solid works takes what you can give it

I’m going to try to get a 5090

[tidal geyser]

The 1000$ one its meant to cost

[pliant snow]

Specifically the tuf version because heat killer is going to make a block for that one

[amber wagon]

Anyone know how to force Windows to use AAC codec rather than the trash Windows forces devices to use ?

[thorny saddle]

That's what I got

[pliant snow]

Yea it’s not the cheapest but not the most expensive

My 3900x and 3070 are starting to show there age while trying to do cad

Also do you guys think dual loop 1 360 for the cpu 1 360 for the gpu would be enough

Or do you think I should do 2 X 360 cpu then a mora for gpu

I’m not going to over clock

[tidal geyser]

That cpu sips power

[pliant snow]

The case I’m going to do has 2x 360 mounts

Singularity specter m

[tidal geyser]

Well has does not mean they need to be used

[tardy jay]

Is the 580 a good 1080p card?

[tidal geyser]

I would stay away from watercoolikg

[tidal geyser]

No

[tardy jay]

2060 it is

[tidal geyser]

It's made to be a 1440p card

[tardy jay]

Really?

[tidal geyser]

Why do you think it has 8GB of vram

[tardy jay]

For 1080p

[tidal geyser]

Keep in mind this was 8 years ago

[pliant snow]

Aesthetics

[tidal geyser]

Well then I can't say anything

[pliant snow]

Do you think a 360 is enough for a stock 5090

[tidal geyser]

Hmm it should be but umm 575w is a bit

[pliant snow]

I’m probs gonna lower the power limit to like 450 so I don’t melt the connector

[tidal geyser]

Just have a fire extinguisher and your fire insurance ready

[tidal geyser]

Mmmm no still does it

[thorny saddle]

I run a single loop for a 9950X and a 4090

[serene atlas]

What’s a good way to calculate what wattage psu you need?

[thorny saddle]

pcpp

[pliant snow]

Do you think I would be better just doing 1 loop 2x 360 or doing the dual loop and just connecting the loops so there is 2 pumps in series

[tidal geyser]

Pcpartpicker+100w

[thorny saddle]

You don't need 2 pumps, I run two 360 rads in one loop

[vapid elbow]

Could anyone give me some assistance on a tech support

[thorny saddle]

looks like this

Mmmmmmmmh. Littral neurotoxins in my body.

Just looking for a decent monitor I don’t think I will be investing that much but I have heard good things about the odyssey line

[hollow sky]

Is this a bad deal? Am I missing something?

https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-0001-05944

[azure topaz]

probably not, maybe just go to an RTX 3060 or somethin

[rapid quarry]

I don’t like laptops that expensive that don’t look like great durability but that is me. I’d personally rather go with a laptop with Thinkpad P series or better durability but that does sacrifice a lot of performance for durability and stability so that is my opinion.

Also looks a bit thin for a 4070 so it’ll be a Lower power model

[strange atlas]

Man i cant decide if i should get a 1440p brand new monitor or second hand 1080p monitor it costs like 1/6 of the others monitors price

1080p 60 hz 6 ms for secondary monitor
But if i get the 1440p it will br my main and current one will be the secondary

[sharp badger]

Would that boost my fps because on sites it says my cpu is bottlenecking the gpu

[strange atlas]

Im currently using VG24VQr eith heavy ghosting

When i move i can almost see the other wall

But not sure if i should pay for a monitor that costs as much as my rx 6800

[hard wren]

it would be better to just upgrade to a newer platform

[azure topaz]

totally it would, at least better than what the 1070ti could do by a lot

bottleneck calculators are bullshit

[thorny saddle]

one pump is quieter than two no need for two pumps

[azure topaz]

basically just polling random numbers and hoping its right one of these days

[azure topaz]

if he really just games, i feel like hed probably still get another gpu upgrade worth before noticing how old his cpu is

3060 is about as fast as a 1080ti, which was definitely a normal combo back in the day

(9600K+1080ti)

[brave vigil]

is there any reasons anyone can think of as to why xbox app will not download anything unless i am connected to a vpn? everything else on my pc downloads just fine

[sharp badger]

Imma look into that and also might look into oc my i5 to 5ghz

[azure topaz]

3060 isnt like a direct recommendation, more of just anything that fits that level of performance and modernity

3060/4060/b580, whatever

2080, 2070 super, blah blah it really keeps going tbh

and yes ocing would defintely help

id imagine 4.8/9/5.0 would work on your chip at reasonable voltages

[sharp badger]

Hope my cooling is enough 😅

[azure topaz]

9600k shouldnt draw a bunch of power

as long as you have something kinda decent

[sharp badger]

I might oc the 1070 ti too its the rog strix version

[harsh vector]

Is it just my monitor or does hdr add a light tint
orange in my case

[random gyro]

if im using mtc should the new pc be off before I plug in the thumb drive or on?

[strange atlas]

What cpu do you have? I had r5 2600 with 1070ti i upgraded gpu into rx 6800 it was impossible to play anything like that

But i am in 1080p though

[azure topaz]

9600k, so a lot faster than the 2600

[strange atlas]

Yrah you are good then

[azure topaz]

r5 2600 is a 3 core cpu glued to another 3 core cpu

[strange atlas]

So shitty i hated it

I still hate it

[azure topaz]

oh wait nvm ryzen 2000 is monolithic it might be a full fat 6 core but it still sucks big ass

games about as good as 4th gen intel

[strange atlas]

Probably it was better then like i7 4-5k

[azure topaz]

9th gen especially if he can get an oc definitely will be faster than ryzen 2000 by a lot

[strange atlas]

But still shşt though

[azure topaz]

yeah not great

[strange atlas]

Can anybody help me on what to do

[lapis condor]

Still CCXs inside

Unsure if they're split though

[strange atlas]

I need a secondary monitor no matter what its impossible for me to not use second monitor

I started not doing anything on pc since second one is gone

[granite sundial]

is there a tool i can use for checking colour accuracy in my browser? ive got 3 browsers and the colours all look very different in them

[strange atlas]

My adhd looking ass cant do one thing at the time

[spiral narwhal]

What are the monitors

[hexed tapir]

A after market physical tool

[formal sonnet]

Once you go to a 27" or 32" 1440p monitor as your main... it's REALLY hard to go back to 1080p. But damn is it ever nice to have the extra space for productivity reasons. Slaps monitor. This bad beast can hold so much productivity!

[granite sundial]

yeah just switched to 4k from 1080p and 1080p is now ruined

looks blurry

ips -> oled too

[random gyro]

Why can't I install network drivers

Someone help pls 😭

[sharp badger]

what should cpu temp be max before its not safe?

[barren knot]

Sup guys, so I was unscrewing my laptop to remove the fans and all that and happened to have to use some force to unscrew some screws, thing is the motherboard bent a bit while doing it, how likely is my laptop having issues after this?

[hoary marsh]

Erm

[barren knot]

Like the motherboard looks fine and flat, it just bent a little while applying a bit of force while unscrewing a screw or 2

[hoary marsh]

Honestly I don’t even know I’m experiencing my own issue rn

[hoary marsh]

I feel like maybe you would be alright tho?.?.?.

[barren knot]

Looks like it

Thankfully, now let me try to help you, what's the story?

[hoary marsh]

Uhhh so yesterday around 3 pm cst my brother turned on the computer (this is his not mine) and he got this screen

Instead of pressing esc

[hoary marsh]

I press wtf button opens this

Wtv*

And yeah

[barren knot]

The problem is the boot drive, that being the HDD or SSD that has the bootloader not working I think

[hoary marsh]

Oh then this too…

[gleaming rose]

press enter

[hoary marsh]

Yeah but according to my dad the computer wouldn’t turn on if it wasn’t working

[hoary marsh]

I did the screen went black and then uhhh

Hold on I forgot what it did let me find it

[barren knot]

Did you switch drives?

[hoary marsh]

Nope

[gleaming rose]

did you adjust the ram

[hoary marsh]

Yes

[gleaming rose]

well then no fucking shit

[hoary marsh]

But it seems to be in secure

[gleaming rose]

it's just telling you the ram was changed

[hoary marsh]

But I can boot into windows at all

I turn on my computer and get this

[barren knot]

Try to reconnect the drives

[hoary marsh]

See I would but like

It’s behind like metal bars that make up the case cause it’s weird

And uhhh I can’t seem to even remove the ssd

Cause it’s stuck to the frame or wtv u wanna call it

So I can’t really do that

And I don’t trust myself to do it either

[barren knot]

Well, does anyone at home the skills to do that?

[gleaming rose]

yes, its easy stuff

[hoary marsh]

My dads being a baby because I didn’t ask him for help earlier

Earlier being yesterday

[gleaming rose]

also, i think the drive is fine

it's probably bitching because of the ram, try resetting the bios

[hoary marsh]

How do I reset the bios?

[barren knot]

I know, but some people fear breaking things anyway

[gleaming rose]

take out the battery, power cycle, put it back in

[hoary marsh]

The battery doesn’t have the weird mechanism to remove it

[gleaming rose]

what batteyr

[hoary marsh]

It has a cr2032 button next to the cmos battery

If that’s what we on about

[gleaming rose]

you pop it out with a screwdriver

[young crest]

back when Intel stock coolers had social skills

[azure topaz]

and copper slugs

[young crest]

That too

Tames this 3770k at 4.6ghz no problem lmao

[hoary marsh]

And too put it back in?

[gleaming rose]

after you power cycle yes

[hoary marsh]

It’s that thingy thing

[gleaming rose]

you take out the battery, press the button, then put it back in iirc

[hoary marsh]

I’ll pay u $50 to do it for me I don’t trust myself 💀

[gleaming rose]

fuck no

[hoary marsh]

Comn man

[gleaming rose]

literally all you have to do is remove a battery

[hoary marsh]

Will that actually fix it tho?

[gleaming rose]

i do not understand how this could possibly be so stressful

[hollow sky]

It has to get me through atleast 5 yrs of college, so maybe it would be best to invest in a quality laptop.

[hoary marsh]

If I fuck it up I’m fucked 💀

[gleaming rose]

THIINKPADD

[gleaming rose]

you wont fuck up its a cr2032

[clear canyon]

[vapid elbow]

Can anyone offer support in tech support?

[gleaming rose]

a surprising number of them are

if i wanted to id be in there

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/surprised-meme-shocked-pikachu-pokemon-gif-16898675

[hoary marsh]

Batteries a battery bro

[gleaming rose]

yes and a fucking harmless one

[hoary marsh]

This will guarantee a fix?

[gleaming rose]

there is quite literally nothing that could go wrong

[vapid elbow]

Okay?

[gleaming rose]

1. turn off your pc
2. unplug
3. remove battery
4. press button
5. turn on pc

[clear canyon]

you are gonna end up spending a good chunk of change then

[gleaming rose]

i speak for almost everyone here

[clear canyon]

6. Get a cool and refreshing drink from the ltt waterbottle from lttstore.com

[ember inlet]

AI Much?

[vapid elbow]

That’s fire bro, disregard the message then.

[gleaming rose]

who fucking knows

[hoary marsh]

Brih…..

[gleaming rose]

what i do know is im impatient and no longer really want to help you

[ember inlet]

well not really

[gleaming rose]

either do it or dont. troubleshooting is part of the process

[hoary marsh]

Bruh

Ight hold up

[gleaming rose]

explain to me what a cr2032 could do on a properly statically shielded motherboard in its designated spot

[hoary marsh]

Okay how long do I keep it out for?

[gleaming rose]

you can put it back in now

[ember inlet]

oh i was unaware that the concern at hand was specifically that scenario. I was thinking more about in a child's stomach

[hoary marsh]

Mk

[gleaming rose]

fair enough i guess

[hoary marsh]

…

[gleaming rose]

ill uhh ill concede that one

[hoary marsh]

So on now?

3.2.1

[gleaming rose]

yeah

[ember inlet]

my bike shop is a cannondale dealer and we have to take out the little wheel sensors with a 2032 cell in it now because of legit legal reasons. cant sell em with this sensor on it cuz it could be "swallowed or inserted into the body"

the sensors are a nightmare to even get off the wheel lol

[hollow sky]

Love them, but they don't have laptops with gpus 😔

[hoary marsh]

Didn’t work btw

Sad

[hollow sky]

I'm looking at the Lenovo 5i, or the rog zephyrus. Idek, it's so hard to figure out balancing specs and quality and a decent price. I might just go in store to a bestbuy one of these days so I can atleast view the quality.

[latent pasture]

arent legions usually cheaper than zephy

[clear canyon]

i also recommend watching reviews

[rapid quarry]

Found this baby on the Lenovo Refurbished. It is a literal workhorse and is better in the gpu than mine. I have a similar model and I love it https://www.lenovo.com/us/outletus/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadp/thinkpad-p15v-gen-3-15-inch-intel-mobile-workstation/21d9x03109

[latent pasture]

what country u buying in anyway

[hollow sky]

yes. I need something quality. My buddy got a legion and said the frame was really strong, so I am going to check that out when he brings it in.

[hollow sky]

US

[latent pasture]

ur paying an lot for that build quality bc that quadro is abt equivalent to gtx 1650ti, for $1300

[hollow sky]

there's just so so many... lol. It might be good to narrow down options. I like the "best budget laptops around $1500" those help

[clear canyon]

1500 isnt budegt lol

800-1000 is budget

"budget"

its budget for a gaming laptop

[latent pasture]

what kinda performance do u want
good build quality laptops for 4060 r like $1000-1200

1500 can get you a good 4070 laptop
or 1900 can get you a shit 4080 laptop

[rapid quarry]

But that quality will last you longer than any other laptop with a 4070 at that price. Also super repairable.

[sick pollen]

How long does it take for a wifi dongle to run out of wifi? Is it infinite? How does it work

[latent pasture]

legion with 4060 is cheaper than it nty

[rapid quarry]

If it is for college, you don’t need 4070 laptop performance. You need reliability and consistency

[latent pasture]

also thinkpads only got a good rep for their old models
the newer thinkpads are just as shitly built as any other thin light whatever shit

everyone go wooo thinkpad then find out the models that wer actually good were ones before 2015

[hollow sky]

A budget is literally just providing a particular amount of money to buy something. It could also mean inexpensive, but not what I meant in my case lol.

[rapid quarry]

I agree for the e series thinkpads

[hollow sky]

4070 laptop ig, I don't wanna push 1900 for a shit 4080 laptop.

[clear canyon]

you didnt use it in that way, you said "best budget laptops"

[latent pasture]

my sisters budget ideapad gaming 3 has no issues since 2019
idk wtf people do with their laptops that they need it to be made of wrought steel to be good

[clear canyon]

not "best laptops within a $1500 budget)

[latent pasture]

bad 4060 $700-1k
good 4060 / 4070 in bad model 1k-1,2k
good 4070 1.2k-1.8k

[hollow sky]

Thanks for the reference

[latent pasture]

havent seen reviews of the newest omen but the past one was pretty good
legion and neo14 are good (!!neo 14 has soldered ram and only 1 ssd slot, but at least its 14 inch)

[rapid quarry]

I personally don’t like gaming laptops due to battery life and build quality. You are going to be using your laptop a lot and will probably do minimal gaming due to studying. And you don’t know the outlet situation of every lecture hall you have to go to. At least that’s my experience so far.

[latent pasture]

battery life isnt an issue with amd non HX or core ultra for intel

the dgpu is irrelevant because it just turns it off for battery

the memes you see of gaming laptops running like a jet engine are innaccurate because u can just run a silent mode

if anything its the opposite, gaming laptops on silent mode will still be able to keep its parts cool bc of their better coolingsystems unlike ur thin n lights that will warm up if they go silent

[strange atlas]

Lenovo ThinkVision S24E-20 23,8 inch 60 hz 4ms
Second hand 50 dollars

Viewsonic 1440p 144hz ips monitor for 450 dollars
Brand new

[latent pasture]

idk where tf this gaming laptops noisy came from, ppl just not knowing how to use them ig

[spiral narwhal]

1440p 144hz for 450 is way overpriced

[strange atlas]

Oh i live in turkey

[spiral narwhal]

OHHHHH

Okay

[latent pasture]

is this gonna be a main monitor

[spiral narwhal]

If it's the 24 inch it's secondary

[latent pasture]

if u just want a 2nd then obviously the cheepo one

[spiral narwhal]

If it's the 1440p then main

[strange atlas]

Wait 350 dollar

[strange atlas]

Yeah

[latent pasture]

also surely theres better priced 1440p fast hz ips in ur stores

or is this the cheapest lmao

[strange atlas]

But my main has lots of ghosting and its va not sure if i should upgrade

[spiral narwhal]

Europe gets totally screwed PC price-wise

[strange atlas]

Its VG24VQr

[latent pasture]

i mean, does it bother you that much

[spiral narwhal]

I would also like to know the other options

[latent pasture]

yeah why is there no choices between $50 and 350 lmao

[strange atlas]

Not the cheapest but the one with known branf

[strange atlas]

If i pay a lot i tought i should get an upgrade and go for 1440p

And 1080p monitors are like 280 dollars min

Let me calc though

[spiral narwhal]

What are the non known brands?

[strange atlas]

200 dollars my bad

[rapid quarry]

Depends on the laptop

[strange atlas]

Like twisted minds

[latent pasture]

it has to be some extremely poor brand that doesnt have custom fan control app

[rapid quarry]

I heard razer laptops are particularly high pitched with their fans maybe that contributes to the idea given how much they are in the market

[sick pollen]

How do you add more data balance on wifi dongles?

[formal sonnet]

"Data balance" meaning... what exactly?

[strange atlas]

Didnt get your question well but the part i get use netlimiter

[sick pollen]

I have no idea honestly ?? I'm js reading through that wifi dongles have "data balance" and I'm gonna assume it runs out at some point

[formal sonnet]

I think you're confusing a USB WiFi adapter for a USB Cellular 4G / 5G modem perhaps?

• USB WiFi adapters allow a computer without WiFi to connect to a WiFi router / modem. Your PC uses one of these to connect to the internet via WiFi through your existing home internet hardware.
• USB Cellular 4G / 5G modems allow a computer to connect to a cellular network on-the-go. These let people (usually business folks) connect their laptop to internet anywhere cell service works.

[latent pasture]

what issues r u experiencing/what r u trying to solve that youve been googling this

[rapid quarry]

Dell that is Dell. At least in functionality. Also the Dell G series has a button to max out the fan speed(for some reason)

Don’t know about the full state of other brands

[sick pollen]

Very possible

[sick pollen]

It just crossed my mind, I asked about it earlier and pretty much no one answered so I just continued searching things up

[sick pollen]

^

[latent pasture]

wdym run out of wifi
like if u move it out of range?

or like if theres very many devices connected to it?

[strange atlas]

Or is it like you have limited amount of internet acces in your home that you can use likr 50 gigs a month

I use around 600 or more gigs of internet every month

[sick pollen]

Yes this ty I couldn't think of another way to put it

[latent pasture]

bruh that depends on the internet plan ur paying for then

[left dove]

you mean a

data cap

[sick pollen]

Thank you

[young crest]

“How many motherboard standards do you want to support?”

NZXT: Yes

Friggen phantom dude, i love it

[strange atlas]

In windows Ethernet settings there is a setting for it

But for whole home not sure about that

[latent pasture]

you can set a limit per month and windows will warn u when u reach it
but yeah just go pay for a different internet plan lmao

if u consistently reach ur cap, it might be better to get a slightly slower connection that has no cap imo

[umbral berry]

I can’t seem to get audio from my capture card to my other pc I want to stream from.

Tried googling and nothing works

Person in need of assistance ✅

[sinful cobalt]

ok lets see ur list

[fallen sky]

Thanks ✅

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8Lx3sp

found 5080 for $1500 (idk where else I can get for cheaper)

[sinful cobalt]

use case?

also I’d get a rmx shift instead of the e

[fallen sky]

it’s for someone else- but both streaming and games

[fallen sky]

I shall adjust

[sinful cobalt]

I’d also try to snag a 5070ti that is NOT from asus

[fallen sky]

PNY

[sinful cobalt]

asus msrp is not existent and the performance increase from the 5070ti to 5080 is not worth

[sinful cobalt]

zotac and pny work

[fallen sky]

Ye

[sinful cobalt]

also personally I’d go for the phantom spirit 120 evo

[fallen sky]

bam

[empty quartz]

@fallen sky what happened to basemoose?

[fallen sky]

Who is basemoose and why is he not base

[empty quartz]

I was making a science based joke

The opposite of acidic is base

Well opposite of acid

[sinful cobalt]

1460 is still criminal

[fallen sky]

Idk where else I could get one for cheaper and closer

Budget is 3200 USD- not like I’m tight on money

[sinful cobalt]

u can consider the 9070xt and 5070ti if he really needs nvidia

[fallen sky]

Well not me but someone

[sinful cobalt]

optional but I’d also recommend a 1000w psu, 850w is fine for 5080 but thats recommended and I prefer headroom

[south arrow]

Crushed the best score then crushed it again

[stark spear]

Guys

[fallen sky]

I’m guy

[south arrow]

I myte be of the guy variety

[stark spear]

Do you think 9070 XT prices will ever go down again

[sinful cobalt]

my 5070ti beat my friend’s 4080 by 127 graphic score

[south arrow]

In the next 2 years yuss

[sinful cobalt]

next year yes

[south arrow]

Just gonna take awhile

[stark spear]

Here in Australia they are all like 1300 dollar actually ridiculous

[empty quartz]

@fallen sky are you american?

[sinful cobalt]

i heard 9070xt OC can get like 32k graphic score

[fallen sky]

Depends who’s asking

[sinful cobalt]

Im copping 1 but only if I can get a yeston model

[stark spear]

I wanted to buy one think here it would be roughly AUD $950

[empty quartz]

because of the price of that 5080

[stark spear]

But it’s like 1.3 k

[sinful cobalt]

here in sgp the price went from 1k to 1200 sgd

[stark spear]

Yeah

[empty quartz]

i didnt even see that ngl

[stark spear]

So we probably won’t see MSRP for a while huh

Kinda a bummer

[fallen sky]

I’m in cali but the person I’m making list for is in Texas

[empty quartz]

@fallen sky send this to the seller

[sinful cobalt]

i bought my 5070ti at $1629 SGD (After 19% tax)

[fallen sky]

Blud send that to ME

[stark spear]

Isn’t the 5080 barely worth the price and basically impossible to find anyway

[empty quartz]

the fuck is sgd

[fallen sky]

🙏

[south arrow]

I wish it was in stock

[stark spear]

Why are you guys actually buying a 5080

[crystal pond]

5080 for that much? Might as well get a 5090

[fallen sky]

It’s aight. ~10% better than 4080 super and 5090 is about 20% better than 5080

As far as I know

[south arrow]

Pretty much xD

[fallen sky]

Idk about availability tho

All sold out on Newegg

[stark spear]

Yeah but is it even worth it when you can’t find any for reasonable prices

[sinful cobalt]

wtf

[south arrow]

Egg posts new gpu daily no need to rush for one ❤️

[sinful cobalt]

5090 is stronger than 20%

[south arrow]

I miss my 4080s alittle, the 5090 is just really power hungry

[sinful cobalt]

5080 doesnt even clap the 4090

[stark spear]

Idk if it’s just me but whenever I’ve tried using newegg for anything it’s been like 100 bucks more for the same product

[fallen sky]

Sold out

[sinful cobalt]

5090 vs 4090 is like 20-25% in gaming

[fallen sky]

Eh give or take 5%

Tomato tomoto

[south arrow]

Those who got a 4090 at 1600-1800 are big chillin

[fallen sky]

scalpers rn:

[fallen sky]

To…

[sinful cobalt]

10% perf diff between 5070ti and 5080 nice joke

[stark spear]

Lol

[sinful cobalt]

msrp models here are literal 69% difference between the 2 cards

1450 vs 2100 in singapore dollars

[empty quartz]

@sinful cobalt

[sinful cobalt]

and then the 5070 has like 0 known sold units based on availability check I did

[stark spear]

What’s the best price to performance GPU ever

[empty quartz]

nvidia 10 series

[sinful cobalt]

pure price to performance would be like 7800XT or 7900GRE area

[stark spear]

Yeah that’s what I would’ve said

[empty quartz]

10 series when it realeased was best price to performance

[south arrow]

Verts balls in your court show me that beyblade, beat that score ❤️

[fallen sky]

Is that Walmart

[crystal pond]

6700xt maybe?

[south arrow]

@cedar hollow

[stark spear]

No guys it’s definitely the 3050

[fallen sky]

GT 710 :

[sinful cobalt]

if we’re talking ever throughout history then sure

10 series was pretty good and still kinda holding up in 1080p

[empty quartz]

nothing has really come close to the price to performance of 10 series at launch

[sinful cobalt]

ok how bout we just look at the charts and see it lol

[solid crown]

he took a couple days to get back to me on the first troubleshooting steps so maybe nopt

[sinful cobalt]

lets look at the total picture

[empty quartz]

use google

[sinful cobalt]

thats what im doing

[stark spear]

Guys what’s the desktop power equivalent of a 3050Ti

Plugged in

[south arrow]

[empty quartz]

Depends on the tdp of the 3050ti you’re talking about

[sinful cobalt]

excluding the 50 series, battlemage and 9070s the best is the A580

[stark spear]

I think like 70Wh

Maybe a little more

[empty quartz]

70wh??? The 3050ti is not a battery 💀

[stark spear]

No bro I mean like that’s my laptops battery idk why I said that

I said the wrong thing

But I don’t know

[empty quartz]

I noticed

[stark spear]

I think the highest TDP I’ve seen for a 3050Ti is like 95

Maybe I’m wrong

[sinful cobalt]

whoever tf said 10 series had like the best price to performance ever prob a 10 series glazer or smth

[stark spear]

Lol

[empty quartz]

you also forget to account that you cant really compare the price to performance anymore because of how much faster gpu's are nowadays

[sinful cobalt]

dont get me wrong 10 series was good but modern day AMD and intel blew anything related to “nvidia” out of the price:performance chsrt

[sinful cobalt]

ever means both past and now

[empty quartz]

cry about it

[sinful cobalt]

ok buddy

[stark spear]

Typical discord argument

[plain cypress]

Price to performance at the time of release

Although the 3080 was pretty fuckin good

I loved my 1080ti, but people who say it's still "an amazing card, what more could you possibly need" are delusional

[empty quartz]

real

[plain cypress]

It's 8 years old

[sinful cobalt]

I can also make up the argument that you cant compare 10 series in the “ever” section, we’d need to compare more similar timed releases

[empty quartz]

as much as i miss my 1080 that i sold, it was really showing its age

[sinful cobalt]

I get ur point but

rly we cant realistically put it in price:perf ever with the modern gpus

[stark spear]

Also how good are iGPUs these days

[sinful cobalt]

even if we do their launch msrp comparisons

[stark spear]

Aren’t they significantly better

[sinful cobalt]

modern day igpus are like 1060s with the highest being that of a 1070

if u wanna count strix halo matching the 4060 then sure

[plain cypress]

Different games that would be relevant

[sinful cobalt]

but the strix halo is like 3 times of a 4060 laptop or smth

[stark spear]

Oh damn

That’s not too bad

You can play quite a bit with that

[plain cypress]

I think you can do a way to compare the relative value each card has at the time of it's release

[stark spear]

Only issue would be VRAM I think

[plain cypress]

It does have 16 CPU cores

So 140-150 mm2 of die space is for those

[sinful cobalt]

Yes but it wont be like a flush testchart/Controlled experiment

I cant explain properly but if u compare different games of different eras ur results wont be accurate

[sinful cobalt]

its basically the dgpu got baked in with the cpu tbh

u get like 90w of total cpu and gpu while a dedicated 4060 itself takes 90w

[plain cypress]

The IOD got roided with stream processors

[vale reef]

i just reset my shader cache and now my pc is running so fucking buttery smooth

gonna do it more often

[cedar hollow]

eeee i gotta buy 3dmark rip.

[cedar hollow]

i have to sell a cs2 skin if i wanna do that

[stark spear]

If clearing shade cache has that noticeable of a difference in performance that’s kinda worrying

[south arrow]

I posted some benches for him to match he wasn't here earlier

[sinful cobalt]

3d mark is free no?

[cedar hollow]

no no

[sinful cobalt]

unless u buy the expansion

for some other test he did

[cedar hollow]

lemme list a skin rn maybe i can 3dmark tn

[sinful cobalt]

3d mark timespy W

the first time I opened 3d mark shit didnt recognise my system and I got the amazing score of 7

[south arrow]

I still need the unrecognized achievement

Any tips? Giving her a rest tonight think that one and the keep the cpu below 55c is the only 2 I need left

[sinful cobalt]

I have a friend who’s no 1 on a leaderboard in 3d mark timespy

at least upon release

5600 and 5070ti on a 1080p screen fr

[vast hare]

yo, if im messaging a person on FB, and they ask me to text "their number", I shouldn't do it rihgt

[south arrow]

If he's shining in his bracket that's all that matters ❤️

[vast hare]

[south arrow]

Back in the day. But these days if they can text, they can facebook

So just say I only msg here not giving my #

[cedar hollow]

cs2 takes up 100% gpu

[sinful cobalt]

his OC’d eagle did like 30.2k graphics score and the 4080 sugar did like 30.4k lmao

both got kinda bottlenecked by the cpu in the test

[south arrow]

The 90 just eats kinda a hog

[vast hare]

ok, so i texted them but only said hi and gave a fake name. thats fine right

could you also see if the pf is legit or not:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572235841871

[sinful cobalt]

graphics score 4080 sugar vs 5070ti aero paired with 9800x3d

[south arrow]

Sure they have your # now and probs your name from Facebook so if they buy something cool

Otherwise now they got yo digitss

[sinful cobalt]

finna let them steal the name “mike oxmaul”

[vast hare]

is dat bad and shoul i get an entirely new sim

[south arrow]

With alittle more oc he could kill the board

He'll get there

[sinful cobalt]

wat board u referring to

[south arrow]

Scoreboard

He could hit legendary with alittle more pbo, or ram tuning, or gpu oc bets. Maybe even just a winter morning with the window open

Still great scores though

[sinful cobalt]

my total score was like 79 but the highest graphics score was like 31k

[sinful cobalt]

open air setup at that time, and I have a literal fan I can kinda blow into it

not open air, open case

[south arrow]

I wonder what I'd hit on non extreme brb

[sinful cobalt]

stock settings the 5070ti hit like 27-28k

[south arrow]

[vast hare]

is dat bad and shoul i get an entirely new sim

[harsh vector]

Audio output takes a quite a while to switch to my bluetooth headphones after connecting. Any fixes?

[south arrow]

Idk to be honest up to you

Probably fine but now you can get random calls

[sinful cobalt]

finna hit them with my autism

they’ll never see it comin

[vast hare]

aight

[south arrow]

Thank you for calling killer burgers this is the killer burger xD

[vast hare]

im only a freshman high schooler so the only app on my phone with money was a chase account app that I deleted.

[south arrow]

Should be fine beats me if they buy the thing I guess

[vast hare]

im the one buying bro

x_x

[south arrow]

If they sell you the thing it should be fine*

you know as much as I do in this scenario

[vast hare]

i just used white page, couldn't find a name

[south arrow]

Personally I'd just be like sorry can't use that number give no explanation and say only can use facebook

Cause you don't owe anyone anything, if they want cash in person cool ya know

Should be easy enough

[vast hare]

i already texted two texts : "hi" and "im gabriel" (fake name btw)

[south arrow]

I sell alot on Facebook and just face to face being honest is always good and cash only save you alot of grief

[vast hare]

they stopped responding after a few text after i said that i prefer texting on fb (red flag?)

[south arrow]

Could just be busy or showering but if they want it they'll message on facebook

[south arrow]

Target in store is fine just say I'm at the drink stand or smth meet there

[vast hare]

its a i9-14900 wit 4090 for 1350. i think its scam

[south arrow]

Yeah xD

[vast hare]

had to confirm yn

[south arrow]

Unfortunately that sounds broken or not real

[left palm]

brother what

is it cash only too

[cedar hollow]

Yea man i cant justify it at this price 😭

$35 is insane

[left palm]

if its cash only then u might get mugged

[south arrow]

Awww shoot verts I thought you had it for that like 8$ primo price that hits every year

[cedar hollow]

I may just use demo OR ill wait for sale

[south arrow]

Def wait for the sale or use demo

[left palm]

[south arrow]

[cedar hollow]

OH SHIT ur smart

[south arrow]

I'm a monster

[cedar hollow]

i completely forgot about this

[left palm]

[south arrow]

Don't feel like blietoothing the image and discords not downloaded*

[frail topaz]

[frail topaz]

[south arrow]

Msi trio

[left palm]

[frail topaz]

noooice

[cedar hollow]

msi trio gang gang

[left palm]

that one is going for $3700 in my area

[south arrow]

And some cpu magics

[left palm]

;-;

[frail topaz]

any 5090 is $4k+ here

[south arrow]

Shoot I'd sell mine for 3700 in. Flash

And go back to hunting xD

[cedar hollow]

someone wants to trade their TUF 5090 for my gaming x trio

[left palm]

but the local store might have forgotten about my 5090 reservation
just got in contact with them and they told me to contact sales

[south arrow]

The Tuff is pretty but idkk

[cedar hollow]

alternatively someone else is doing $3400 cash

[left palm]

but they only have astrals I think ;-;

[frail topaz]

my entire pc is 4090 MSPR

[left palm]

so still, 3.3k after tax

[frail topaz]

MSRP*

[south arrow]

I offered a dude 3400 for mine today xD I'm selling my pc though or trying to

[south arrow]

3400 is good ngl

If not through feebay

Pays for your time and the card

[left palm]

buy gpu
sell pc with gpu
buy and build new pc

[south arrow]

Trying to sell my whole setup really for this

[vast hare]

ye, thx anyway, (do you by chance know if chaning my sim will help in anyway?) might do that

[left palm]

but I cant justify a reason to get a 9950x3d and a x870e hero besides the spec and looks

[south arrow]

Changing the number and sim could try&

[cedar hollow]

ooo yea 9950x3d is releasing in 2 days

[south arrow]

Flex the leader board and take me down on scores

[left palm]

local store is selling OEM models for $30 less than msrp

[cedar hollow]

woohoo

[left palm]

and I think they have plenty

[cedar hollow]

im coming for ya worm

[south arrow]

Also need msi afterburner beta ❤️

[cedar hollow]

ya i got that one

[south arrow]

Unless they posted it to the live

[cedar hollow]

afterburner stable was crashing

[left palm]

if I get the astral
should I still use the msi afterburner or go with gpu tweak 3

[south arrow]

Yus yus

[cedar hollow]

afterburner always bc rivatuner

[left palm]

I heard gpu tweak is a little wacky

but its asus

so it has the pin voltage reader

for the astral

[south arrow]

Haven't tested that one but asus always alittle funky with features

Sometimes for better or worse

[left palm]

yeah

I wonder if the oc done on the afterburner transfers to the gpu tweak

[cedar hollow]

it does

[left palm]

oh nice

[cedar hollow]

i tink its driver level

@south arrow timespy?

[left palm]

alr
so oc on msi ab then check pin voltage with gpu tweak

[left palm]

holy moyl fast internet speed

[cedar hollow]

wait am i doing timespy extreme or normal timespy

[south arrow]

Could do either

[cedar hollow]

which did u do?

[south arrow]

Normal

Extreme below

[cedar hollow]

ok i do extreme first

[south arrow]

I believe in youuu

Mind you on the 9900x so beating my cpu should be cake

[cedar hollow]

am on 9800x3d

urs will be better

[random gyro]

is this everything i need for watercooling my gpu (i have a waterblock)

[south arrow]

I thought it vice versa but you'll have to show, mayhaps

[random gyro]

omg i just noticed i got 24 fittings

[wispy thunder]

it would depend on how much physics data is needed

[south arrow]

On extreme at least

[cedar hollow]

Bmmm i need to restart

[wispy thunder]

if all of it fits in the x3d cache, 9800x3d will take the cake

[cedar hollow]

i think multi thread performance is more important than 3d cache

[wispy thunder]

if it needs to dump and fetch from ram, 9900x will probably perform better for more threads

[south arrow]

Maybe I'll get point on the normal, and that's alright you got this verts

[limber nacelle]

@cedar hollow how much do you reckon a 4060ti 16gb is worth today

[south arrow]

Just take your time and have fun

[wispy thunder]

250

[cedar hollow]

right now market is fucked, like $500

[limber nacelle]

gg

[cedar hollow]

5060 ti 16gb should be announced this month and help bring prices down

[limber nacelle]

oh bet

sigh I just want muh vram

[cedar hollow]

had to restart my pc

[random gyro]

nvm i got 28 but i fixed it

[south arrow]

All good oc tings juiced her alittle quick wasn't ready xD

[unique creek]

Cats are such a pain

[cedar hollow]

i hate memory training

but now we are running!

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/david-stern-choke-water-drink-gif-16881676

[unique creek]

I literally just made this cable and was trying to figure out why it wasn’t working. The cats literally chewed it right as I was finishing doing the pinouts

[south arrow]

My pc when I just start shoving watts in places

[cedar hollow]

Did ya try shoving more than 250 on the core?

[south arrow]

I did but it wasn't loving it I myte need to drop mem down to push the core alittle

[limber nacelle]

ooooof

[cedar hollow]

def try that, our cards aren’t really memory bottlenecked much methinks

[south arrow]

I tried 300 and 350 but started diminishing some

But I have to save a few tricks unless you beat me 😉

[cedar hollow]

uffff 610 watts

is it just me or is something burning?

[south arrow]

It just eats like that xD

That's why we get not hotspot

Temps be like not even 60c (while I know it's lying)

[left palm]

anyone know the spec comparison for a 5090M?

to a desktop gpu

[cedar hollow]

Oh disclaimer, I took off the standard TIM and im using PTM now
