found this amazing "B-stock" deal what arctic calls it to sell their products which are barely used or "open box" , grab them for people where they ship it https://www.arctic.de/en/Liquid-Freezer-III-420-B-Stock/ACFRE00137AB https://www.arctic.de/en/Liquid-Freezer-III-360-B-Stock/ACFRE00136AB

Man I hate that I got rid of a one of a kind laptop

Static shock ended up not killing it and actively making it overclockable. If was cool af.

But I threw it out due to HDD issues a few years back when I was a beginner in tech shit

I regret it now. As I don't think I'll ever get an opportunity to OC a 4770HQ again

2 posts earlier there was a pc with a 1060 and a i7 7700 for 160🤣 imagine

#

So I barely keep up with cpus and have always had intel(just by happenstance since I get all my tech free secondhand), someone just dropped off a ryzen 7 2700x with MB and power supply at the e waste center my roomate works at and currently my rig has a core i7-6700k and an rtx2070, is it worth the trouble of the upgrade? I think it would be nearly free but I might be one generation behind when it comes to ram and I'll probably need a heatsink since it seems to be an old AIO water cooler that sounds terrible

# onyx lake def worth the upgrade

@onyx lake @true stirrup could you elaborate how much of an upgrade it would be? the reason I'm asking is looking at the specs I don't see anything compelling other than 2018 vs 2016 and slightly faster multi core with slightly slower single core

just use a £20 dual fan tower cooler

it almost seems more like a tradeoff then an upgrade, especially when i do run single core workloads

considering it’s free it’s a massive upgrade

i might have ddr4 in this let me check, I just got the message from my roomate that there's a free case with no HDD or RAM(probably from a system upgrade) with a ryzen72700x and power supply

quick question: does enabling the eco setting and limit the cpu power to 65w help improve ryzen 7700x performance?

would it be worth it to upgrade from a rx 6600 to a rx 7700xt

you could move to a 5600x for 100 bucks and get insane performance if you’re in the 2700x am4 system

that's why i was confused, it seemed like it should have been an upgrade but then userbenchmark said it's basically a tradeoff, so i fired up discord

gloomy sleet

you can then go to a 5950x if you want too

and ddr5 as well

onyx lake

just stick with am4 for a while man. big upgrade from 6700k.

so there's no way i'm getting a 7 7800x3d in any relevant timescale

that's the only game i play that's seriously CPU limited with my 2070

and am4 has an insane upgrade path

you can get a cpu from like 2022 in an am4 board. you’re limited to 2015-2016 on your current board

Yeah, since it's free that changes things, for some reason I thought am4 was on ddr5

onyx lake

no it’s not

#

am5 is

undone star
#

I dont know ryzen like at all so I must have had the dates mixed up, if it's ddr4 then the cost is reinstalling windows

onyx lake
#

a 2700x will allow you to upgrade to insane cpus like the 5950x and stuff

#

I'm assuming I can't just yank the ssd and throw it in a new mb with a new cpu. I haven't tried that since like win 7 but it was extremely unhappy last time I did

Like with OS still in place

i dont see why it would matter

dire cipher
undone star
#

I can't remember why but it caused a ton of headache and issues taking an install from one machine and putting it on another rather than imaging the installer

onyx lake
undone star
#

But again that was win 7 so drivers worked pretty differently and the OOBE wasn't as involved

undone star
#

Reinstall windows, that is

onyx lake
#

to avoid problems just in case

#

you’d probably be fine tho not reinstalling

I think it was both driver issues and MBR problems with win 7 but idk how that would even work with the way UEFI and GPT works now

i mean 195/44 over 5G is nice, but what about it when monthly data cap is 30GB 😄

I’m capped to 25 Mbps speed on 5G lol due to plan limitations

Could technically get unlimited, but im paying like £7 a month with 50gb (100gb with rollover as I rarely use more than 10gb a month :P)

i have unlimited data, but get dropped to 4g after 32gb iirc

I sorta want Intel to have a 9070 (non xt) performance competitor purely because I don’t think scalpers would target Intel gpus because of them being hyper niche. And Intel would be a lot more price competitive. I am probably imagining the most idealistic situation right now but one can dream

ik there was one yeston distributor for 40 series cards that was in the price range of zotac and PNY cards

u can drown if u drink to much water

gleaming rose

Water intoxication, also known as water poisoning, hyperhydration, overhydration, or water toxemia, is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that can result when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside safe limits by excessive water intake.
Under normal circumstances, accidentally consuming too much water is...

random gyro
#

yeah that

#

you needa drink a lot of water to do that tho

steel umbra
random gyro
#

like a gallon every hour or smth

steel umbra
#

that’s why it’s considered bad for you

random gyro
#

iron is much more common

#

almost in everthing

steel umbra
#

drinking a proper amount of water will not introduce you to damaging elements assuming the water is clean, silver is itself slightly toxic

rapid quarry
steel umbra
#

silver has 0 benefits in your blood, cells as it’s not used in any sort of metabolism or cells don’t use it

#

anything that plays absolutely no role is considered neutral and because silver can have toxic effects in the body it is considered bad

Is panel types really important between ips and va

#

I want to get 1440p monitor but prices change a lot between ips and va

#

A lot a lot

bitter nimbus
#

VA better contrast in some cases but also smearing with white text on black background etc (can be minor depends on monitor), ips better motion clarity and viewing angles

thorn cove

When should I turn on Vsync? I notice it makes my games look noticibly more laggy when I am running it at high framerates

I dont notice anything except stutters on lower framerates

mellow gull

if it makes things worse turn it off

strange atlas
#

Like i can see almost 3 pngs behind

#

In games like elden ring it becomes impossible to play too much ghosting

bitter nimbus
#

If you experience smearing yes IPS will fix it but a good VA monitor may be better too

#

Will never be as good as IPS from that standpoint though

strange atlas
inland perch
bitter nimbus
#

I hear the odysseys are some of the better VAs in terms of smearing but yeah hard for me to tell

#

Never used odyssey monitors, find a review or a store that stocks both

strange atlas

#

IPS will always be better afaik it's just a question of how much worse the VA version is

strange atlas
bitter nimbus

It might be minor in a well designed VA panel and not noticeable

First off, there is
120hz is several times faster than 60hz, despite it being 'only' twice the refresh rate. The math is quite complicated

Though the higher the refresh rate the less notable it is; I still notice a difference between 360 and 500hz, but that's mainly because I've been playing rythm games since 2008 and the kind of level I play at is so high that it'd be strange if I didn't notice additional smoothness
