[gilded sparrow]

idk i love my build it booted up first try

on my first build

[tidal geyser]

no

if those do not fit then nothing will

but in what way do they not fit

[midnight linden]

I tired to screw it in

[gilded sparrow]

@tidal geyser

[plush wren]

[midnight linden]

I will show you when I get back home

[strange atlas]

is microsoft flight simulator worth downloading for non sim setup?

i have the game but not sure if i should download it

[tidal geyser]

this is just sad

[gilded sparrow]

Him or me

[tidal geyser]

him

losing 10% of your performance based on home vs pro

[strange atlas]

Those are the right statistics we just dont know it yet

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-soda-sleezeymir-gif-23333267

[gilded sparrow]

u know i got bit locker and better security

im happy i have pro

[tidal geyser]

no

do you even know what bitlocker is

[gilded sparrow]

no i was making a joke to sound smart

would i be aksing around if i did i would like someone to explain it to me

i think @tidal geyser took offense to what that man said

[tidal geyser]

yes

this disgusts me

he really cant understand after this much time how someone being told yeah you need to buy it again to get 10% more performance on something that does nothing for performance

[gilded sparrow]

i.almost did too glad i got a second opinion

[gloomy sleet]

0 difference

[tidal geyser]

no no

[gloomy sleet]

most things you do/download outside the game don’t affect games at all really

[gilded sparrow]

they can ram?

streaming

[tidal geyser]

the pro version has a massive amount of differences

[gilded sparrow]

Oh u said some

[gloomy sleet]

i mean in terms of performance

[tidal geyser]

a whopping one thing that almost no consumers could give 2 fucks about

[tidal geyser]

in that term yeah no nothing

[gloomy sleet]

if you have at least 16gb then it’s fine

[gilded sparrow]

i got double

[gloomy sleet]

i can watch 3 different youtube videos encode a 1 hour 4k video with discord open and it will still not really affect much

doesn’t matter when i get 300fps at 8k max settings anyway

with SSAA 4x

[gilded sparrow]

im on budget hardware so every inch of performance counts ya know

[gloomy sleet]

ehhh

what have you got

[gilded sparrow]

rx6600 and r5 7600 i went with a higher tier cpu so i could run things easier in the background

[gloomy sleet]

why?

that’s a not so good purchasing decision

[gilded sparrow]

because i stream run discord

[plush wren]

anyone else watched those mr bean animated cartoons

[gloomy sleet]

you know they only made like 10 episodes of that

[plush wren]

false

[gloomy sleet]

i swear there was atleast 30

[gilded sparrow]

also because 7600 was good for am5 gaming and i wanted to be on am5

[plush wren]

ye

season 2 episode 49

[gilded sparrow]

who tf is mr bean

[gloomy sleet]

oh the youtube series

[gloomy sleet]

leave this instant

[gloomy sleet]

they only aired 15 episodes on bbc1

[gilded sparrow]

i plead American

[gloomy sleet]

anyway i’m running a 4060 and 5500 at 8k

[plush wren]

???? 😭

[gilded sparrow]

@tidal geyser i got kicked from build a pc for asking someone to dm me

[tidal geyser]

i saw that

[gilded sparrow]

tf

i was gonna ask him if je wanted my windows 10 key

[tidal geyser]

i was like wtf happened

[gilded sparrow]

LMAO

[tidal geyser]

i just saw it for one moment then poof and thought it was my sleeplessnes

[gilded sparrow]

no

Brother

how would they know i was trying to avoid rules

[tidal geyser]

maybe you just worded it wrong

[gilded sparrow]

god istg sometimes mods just jump the gun and ban for no reason

[gilded sparrow]

i said dm me

litteraly it

[tidal geyser]

yeah the mods are a 180 of how it is here

[bitter rampart]

Brought an old HDD back from the dead by just having the drive actuator go crazy

[gilded sparrow]

because I didnt wanna talk about have a free windowa key to give in a public chat

[tidal geyser]

we have like one ban every week while there i think its per hour

[gloomy sleet]

i did this to my xbox one hdd

[tidal geyser]

not for long

[gloomy sleet]

it was also dead that’s why i ripped it apart

[bitter rampart]

Sector test is passing so far

[gloomy sleet]

i have all my important files stored on there btw

[gilded sparrow]

Its whatever

i got llt for tech support As u saw build a pc has some iconpetence

[bitter rampart]

Hasn't been powered on for 12 years

[tidal geyser]

sectores do not scan for the hardware itself as in the motor or drive head

[gilded sparrow]

ive never used a hdd

[bitter rampart]

It's funny because I've done this to other drives before and they still work today

[gilded sparrow]

ACTUALLY NO I TAKE THAT BACK

MY IPOD HAS HDD

[tidal geyser]

fun

[tidal geyser]

i would not put a lot of trust in em tho

[bitter rampart]

That's wise advice even for a working maxtor drive that never had issues

My oldest functional HDD is 120Mb

[tidal geyser]

xd

[latent gull]

It’s a dx4822, only changes are the SSD I put in, and I unplugged the optical drive and the cpu fan

I found the model number just to make sure I wasn’t fibbing on the ddr2 claim

[bronze summit]

Evil Tacos Guy

[latent gull]

Evil tacos? Where!? I’ll eat them

[gleaming rose]

tacos sound delightful

[latent gull]

Shrimp tacos would be so good right now

[plush wren]

fun fact rowan atkinson has a electrical engineering degree

[latent gull]

He’s actually a very intelligent person

[bitter rampart]

Hello fellow gateway desktop user

[plush wren]

the goat

[latent gull]

Oh god no you wouldn’t catch me dead with that as my daily. That’s my dads 15 YO desktop

[bitter rampart]

I run windows 10 on mine and it's got a Pentium D 915

[latent gull]

This is his. Idk about CPUs from the time

[bitter rampart]

Mine is the GT5224

[latent gull]

Again this means nothing to me, idk hardware from the time

[bitter rampart]

Btw if you have a retro laptop from like the 95-98 era and it has a battery manufactured by sony it'll still work

Both my HPs with sony batteries still take and hold full charge

I wanna know what they did differently

[gilded sparrow]

yo is opera actually the best browser with gaming in mind

[plush wren]

no

what the fuck is a gaming browser vro

[gilded sparrow]

no like a browser but with gaming priorities like what uses the least resources

not gaming browser thats stupid

[silent peak]

I installed Linux drive Windows is on the other I wanna format that drive I no longer have windows and more storage I drive doing it through the windows installed but Everytime I hit format or delete partition it doesn't work

[plush wren]

pro tip: close your browser

[sturdy harness]

Has anyone figured out how to arrange the monitors on Mac OS by size rather than resolution

[ripe spire]

Hi @plush wren

Guess what, I’m going to sleep now

[silent peak]

Anyone able to help

[plush wren]

Guess what

[ripe spire]

Nighty night

[plush wren]

I am going to brush my teeth

[ripe spire]

Sleep well polar

[plush wren]

[gilded sparrow]

i need it open i make content and meed to monitor my stream

[plush wren]

i mean by limiting your browsers resources ur just gonna make it slower so you're gonna eventually need to cap it higher and higher

[frail topaz]

what the fuck happened i saw sim saying this disgusts me what

[gilded sparrow]

some rando in build a pc gave bad info then i told him that the ltt discord was saying he was wrong he got but hurt said this server didn't know anything and angered sim

[frail topaz]

wtf happens in TC1 dude jesus

[gilded sparrow]

so legitimately bad advice told me win 11 pro decreases gane performance by like 10%

and then i got banned from that server

for a different but dumb reason

its just one of those things people will think they are right always

and get butt hurt they are wrong

[hexed spindle]

Hello dear LTT community. I was just hacked people have been using everything that doesnt have 2 way authenticator to make small purchases here and there. I have changed password and logged them out but i want to make sure that i fully remove everything everywhere, any advice on how to do so other than run Malewarebytes?

[gilded sparrow]

delte ur operating system

wipe all drives

[hexed spindle]

thanks

[devout oxide]

Is this good for a jelly fin server, a vpn, and a pihole? I could potentially add a gpu to take some load off the cpu

I could also add more ram if needed, but at what point do I just get a better build

[frail topaz]

sure

[oblique hill]

Anyone has expirience with Synology's Rackstations?

Thinking of buying the RS422+

Perhaps even two, one with SSD's and one with HDD's. The HDD one backing up the files of the SSD one

[thorn cove]

is buying RAM used in any way an issue?

[gusty wagon]

Yeah, you're paying money for it

Other than that, make sure they have the receipt and offer basic troubleshooting or returns if you run into issues

I bought 8gb ddr3 sodimms without receipt but that's fine for me because it's not a significant sum of money for that purchase

And also intel i5 is 11 years ago

[latent pasture]

wat

[thorn cove]

I salute you, fellow old pc owner. I must leave because I like only one thing more than money, and thats spending it

[gusty wagon]

No

Hoard it and hoard everyone else's money too

[thorn cove]

i tried to but bank said no

[true warren]

2x Kingston Fury 6000 ddr5 cl 30,
good for a 9800x3D + 9070xt build?

[dark comet]

Do you guys know of any good 4k monitors wit hsomething above 120hz for under $700

[dark comet]

that's what im going for acually, but I don't think the 9800x3d is necessary for a 9070xt

[true warren]

well I got it already 😆

[dark comet]

Oh well, thats like the top of the line cpu

[true warren]

I'm finaly upgrading my oldass i7-4790k

[hexed tapir]

You got a 5090 to run it at 4k?

[dark comet]

Thinking of getting a 9070xt, that's a decent 4k card.

I might as well get 4k as the card can reach it pretty easily in most games. I know in the larger games it will struggle more but I would rather use the card to its max potential

[hexed tapir]

For new big games it's not amazing

[scarlet echo]

is 16gb of ram starting to be not enough?

[compact arch]

quick question. is max temp 50c on a 100% utilized i5-650 impressive by anymeans? prime 95 for like 40hours and the cpu fan (from an ailenware) is quiet asf. gonna use the pc for a recording booth cause it still handles fl really good.

[hexed tapir]

With a 9070xt I would pair it with a nice 1440p OLED monitor personally

[frail topaz]

i should get 128gb ddr4 ECC

[plain cypress]

Yes

[frail topaz]

Thanks

[dark comet]

That sounds nice acually lol

[dark comet]

60fps on cyberpunk is more than enough for me (even tho i don't play) as long as a game is smooth lol

[dark comet]

I recommend 32 gb to last a little longer ngl

Just get a cheaper 32 gb ram, at the end of teh day ram is ram

[scarlet echo]

i had 16gb that ive been running but one of my sticks went bad so I went for new 32gb and will get it by tomorrow

i can tell you, 8gb isnt enough

[hexed tapir]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/rog-strix-oled-xg27aqdmg $650 on Amazon and here is a detailed review on it

[grave obsidian]

Do i need AM5 Contact frame?

[grizzled frost]

no

entirely useless

[spiral narwhal]

4080 Super with bottleneck still got me to 60 at all max on 1440p

Pretty solid looking game

Indiana Jones game looks better tho

[bronze flax]

Do anyone have info/backstory of this mystery monitor i bought it 2 years ago, i went to search it online for info and i can't find any, Model: M8WLA

[azure topaz]

probably a generic rebrand of a different oem momnitor

[bronze flax]

It might be

[spiral narwhal]

looks like the company is real

[bronze flax]

The only evidence of the same brand is a Duracom keyboard i found on ebay

[spiral narwhal]

there's almost nothing about the monitor tho

[bronze flax]

Exactly

[spiral narwhal]

https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-18-5-WXGA-WLED-Monitor/dp/B084471LTH

not quite

but that one sure looks like it

https://www.duracomny.com/

is this them lol

https://www.ebay.com/itm/285777669004

found another thing they make

[azure topaz]

"make"

[bronze flax]

DURACOM, INC. was registered on Apr 04, 2001 then it means it's a real company

[junior valve]

you can get like 60fps at 4k with rt

[bronze flax]

This is the keyboard that i was talking about https://www.ebay.com/itm/184731013831

[spiral narwhal]

looks like a different company, it's stylized in all caps

also just a rebrand of a super popular design at the time

https://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn86653136&docId=ORC20160119010220&linkId=2#docIndex=1&page=1

i found them, or at least the one that made the monitor and the security camera

[bronze flax]

Yea it says DURACOM computer systems on that keyboard

[spiral narwhal]

they no longer exist

https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=74415812&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch

i think i found the monitor one too

they made the keyboard. at least

https://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn86653136&docId=SPE20150609080102&linkId=9#docIndex=8&page=1

i found the exact security system

[bronze flax]

Sounds like duracom was used in multiple companys

[spiral narwhal]

they also made a dvd player

looks like its just different uses of their trademark

[midnight linden]

For this I the CORSAIR - iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX Liquid CPU Cooler with RGB Lighting - Black and I also have the Corsair iCUE LINK QX120 RGB 120mm Magnetic Dome RGB Fans - Triple Fan Starter Kit with iCUE LINK System Hub - Black do I have to use both hub or just one

[spiral narwhal]

I figured it out, mail-order company advertising in magazines selling rebranded low-end equipment with "coupons" to make them seem cheap

[junior valve]

one

[clever burrow]

why does my laptop audo not work

[midnight linden]

Thanks

[bronze flax]

But did you got info about that monitor from there or theres non

[midnight linden]

Then what do I do with the other

[spiral narwhal]

there's nothing. it's a rebrand of some other monitor they sold in a magazine, possibly alongside a similarly rebranded home security system

they never had a website

i looked through all their patent documentation

the guy who ran it is a lawyer now

[junior valve]

give it to me

[bronze flax]

I guess i have strange/rare piece of technology in my room

[spiral narwhal]

https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevan-hammond-97034a4 this is the guy who founded it if you wanna message him

[bronze flax]

My email fails loging in into Linked in btw so i could not message him

[native karma]

went to an arcade, found out how to glitch it and play for free

(i got kicked out)

[midnight linden]

I have 2

[mellow cairn]

generic ewaste

[mellow cairn]

it's not strange, and it's only rare because it's junk

[bronze flax]

Not really ewaste if it still works better than having no monitor

[mellow cairn]

I mean, it is, but yeah

[gusty wagon]

lol

[spiral narwhal]

the company is fairly strange 😛 the monitor, maybe not

[gusty wagon]

Bob, take the monitor

Your son could really use it as a fourth monitor just for discord

[mellow cairn]

lol if I wanted another monitor I would have it.
The problem I have with my desktop, is it only has 4 'heads' of output, so I can't have three monitors with one at 4k120, AND HDMI audio out

[frail delta]

Another GPU 😉

[gusty wagon]

use front panel audio with a converter

The spdif on your motherboard works too

[mellow cairn]

spdif is garbage

[peak knot]

pushed my external clock board to its limit and it also pushed my oscope to its limit still was reading extremely accurately

[mellow cairn]

I'm talking about 5.1 channel LPCM, not 1.5mbps stereo

[peak knot]

and it was getting toasty

[gusty wagon]

Big hands

[peak knot]

small board

[junior valve]

whats that

[bronze flax]

The monitor's hz is 59.99

[junior valve]

60

[sinful cobalt]

are u gonna notice that 0.01 hz

[peak knot]

external clock generator, lets you replace the BCLK of any device

[bronze flax]

On my Nvidia control panel its the highest it can do

[sinful cobalt]

then thats the highest refresh rate ur monitor is rated for

unless u didnt check settings

[bronze flax]

I can turn on the monitor to see

[junior valve]

ah, btw do you know any tips for overclocking? i tried 5.9ghz and my pc blue screened

[bronze flax]

59.99 hz is what i remember though

[drowsy flame]

[latent tundra]

I have returned

can a USD digital steam wallet code redeemed on Sweden?

[grizzled garden]

probably

or u could use a vpn

[meager coral]

So local pc shop did a clone of my c drive and if I hear this right, I don’t have to Download anything. I guess it saves all programs and settings….is that called cloning? Isn’t there a backup/restore where you have to redownload everything and redo all settings

[latent tundra]

no

you do know it's against steam ToS right

[gleaming rose]

yes

digital ones can

[formal sonnet]

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/78E3-7431-1E88-AD59#restrictions

[grizzled garden]

who cares about tos

[formal sonnet]

#rules 1 and 9 care, both of which users agree to by being present in this Discord server. 🙂

[gleaming rose]

hi kira

[grizzled garden]

all i said was an opinion nothing more

[formal sonnet]

Also, this. https://store.steampowered.com/account/redeemwalletcode

Note: If the gift card you attempt to redeem is not in your currency, it will be automatically converted if redeemable in your region. Not all gift card currencies can be redeemed in all regions.

[swift moss]

If my opinion was a slurr, doesn't make it fine

[grizzled garden]

idc really nobody reads them tbh

[swift moss]

Mods care???

Same in the workplace

[grizzled garden]

if so they gloss over the,

[latent tundra]

see this is the confusing part

other page says we changed how it works
the other page says you can

[gleaming rose]

doesnt matter - you're still supposed to read them

[formal sonnet]

It's more or less "yes, you can, unless your account is in a country where you can't."

[rapid quarry]

I presume the countries where it doesn’t work are hotbeds for scam callers but that’s just a guess

[formal sonnet]

For example, I can redeem US Steam Gift Card codes on my Canadian account because it's logical that I might pick up a gift card whilst travelling... but I'd wager a guess that Steam would get a little suspicious if I suddenly started trying to redeem gift cards from say... an EU country.

[grizzled garden]

what i mean is me saying who cares about tos is not an admission of guilt

[latent obsidian]

brothers, the cpu in my old build with the 13600k just killed itself due to heat and now I'm building a completely new pc and this time I'm going with the 6700 from amd and keeping the cpu cool is my number one priority. I went with the dual tower cooler from thermalright peerless is that good enough so that my cpu doesn't kill itself or degrade overtime?

[grizzled garden]

hence not against the servers tos

[gleaming rose]

and you cant give tos violating advice in here, rule 9

[gleaming rose]

you gave tos violating advice

[grizzled garden]

not stated in the rule is it

[gleaming rose]

yes it fucking is

[swift moss]

Teaching how to to circumvent it?

[gleaming rose]

please go to the nearest optometrist

[grizzled garden]

well its not stated if its true them they should update it

[latent tundra]

well ig if anyone here from Sweden recently bought a USD digital steam wallet code hit me up if you can actually redeem it there

[gleaming rose]

the rule is pretty fucking clear

[rapid quarry]

We’ll let the mod who is literally talking in this chat rn decide.

[grizzled garden]

not really tbh

[gleaming rose]

yes

[swift moss]

I mean you are giving possible advice

[grizzled garden]

Do not infringe upon any Terms of Service agreement in our chat. This rule is outlined in the Discord TOS agreement, but especially doesn't allow links to gray-market sites (sites that sell keys unofficially, etc.), or activity that would otherwise compromise a TOS agreement for any service.

[gleaming rose]

if you do anything in violation of a reasonable tos in here it is against the rule

[swift moss]

Yeah?

[grizzled garden]

not saying we cant state opinions \

[gleaming rose]

giving tos violating advice is an action that violates a tos agreement

[gleaming rose]

that isnt an opinion fuckwad

[grizzled garden]

just saying we can violate tos's

[swift moss]

In my opinion, you can bypass the tpm requirements in regedit

[latent obsidian]

I guess this isn't a tech chat anymore..

[swift moss]

That's just me though

[gleaming rose]

this is not an opinion

[grizzled garden]

so true man

[gleaming rose]

it is still a tech chat

[formal sonnet]

#rules 16 covers this. Anyway... it's aboot time to move on to another topic please. 🙂

[latent obsidian]

great

#1027757333117415424 dont bitch about not getting help, we are volunteers

[grizzled garden]

lets get back to tech alr

[swift moss]

Technically chatting

[latent obsidian]

now can I get advice on my issue

[gleaming rose]

this is still tech related

[latent obsidian]

calm down g

[gleaming rose]

yes, in #1027757333117415424

[latent obsidian]

same thing

[latent obsidian]

^

[gleaming rose]

we have been on the topic of tech fwiw

[grizzled garden]

what tech issue do you have ezxactly

[latent obsidian]

alright man

just calm down bro

it's not that deep

[gleaming rose]

im calm just annoyed

:3

please go post your issue in the dedicated channel

[latent obsidian]

I just wanna mnow if the dual peerless cooler is good enough for my 6700 non x

[gleaming rose]

yes it is

[grizzled garden]

yep

[latent obsidian]

my last cpu killed it self and I'm paranoid now lmao

[grizzled garden]

with the same cooler?

[gleaming rose]

cpus do not kill themselves because of lack of cooling

something else went wrong

[swift moss]

Mhm

[latent obsidian]

sort of, bit the problem wanst from the cooler, it was from intel fucking up with the temps n shit

[swift moss]

Voltage though could be a factor

[grizzled garden]

oh... so you did do something

[gleaming rose]

it needs to be a combination of voltage current and heat to kill a cpu according to sy iirc

[latent obsidian]

nope

it wasn't me

[grizzled garden]

well you quit intel cpus now right?

[latent obsidian]

I have sent the cpu for a replacement today and I'm building a new build rn

[latent obsidian]

ofc man fuck intel

[swift moss]

Whattt

[swift moss]

Nice

[gleaming rose]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor_Lake#Instability_and_degradation_issue

[swift moss]

I want a 295k ngl

[grizzled garden]

i absoulutely despise intel they are the only cpus that have ever broke for me

[gleaming rose]

i mean intel aint bad for some stuff

[swift moss]

Have y'all seen an amd epyc die shot?

[latent obsidian]

from a video I watched comparing amd and intel with an equally good cpu showed that amd was using alot less watts than intel while giving the same performance

[gleaming rose]

at least it wasn't; amd is mostly caught up, but they still don't have high core counts

[latent obsidian]

and I just care about longevity if I'm being honest

[swift moss]

Fixed in 15th gen

[grizzled garden]

alr new topic would it be possible to use an amd and nvidia gpu at the same time?

[gleaming rose]

i mean my 14th gen is doing just fine

[grizzled garden]

i have a 5600xt 8gb and a 4060 lying around

[gleaming rose]

at the same time? yes. for the same task? no.

[swift moss]

This

[latent obsidian]

current build in mind

[gleaming rose]

also doing so is fairly complicated on windows

[gleaming rose]

bad

[swift moss]

Yeah why not if you don't need a powerful gpu

And only 16gb

[latent obsidian]

I honestly dont

[gleaming rose]

why nvidia gpu
why corsair ram

[swift moss]

Save on case and upgrade ram

And save on GPU and get like 7600xt or something

[gleaming rose]

amd offers better price to performance in that range

[swift moss]

Especially in USA

[latent obsidian]

yea I'm getting 32

[swift moss]

Oh ok

[grizzled garden]

oh one sec i only have one one full sized pcie

[swift moss]

Get hynix ram so like g skill or kington

[gleaming rose]

i would say why nzxt case but after 5 years of being in this server I've learned it's not worth it to ask

[swift moss]

Dremel time

[latent obsidian]

honestly it's way cheaper for me with this pre built pc since I live in saudi

[swift moss]

Lol, phanteks p100 works, never used but SUPER CHEAP

[latent obsidian]

I have checked amazon aswell as other stores like newgg

[swift moss]

I need a powermac g5 case 😭😭

[latent obsidian]

but infiniarc was the cheapest

[gleaming rose]

i need a cheap case for my film scanning setup honestly

right now it's on a motherboard box

[grizzled garden]

im using a chap case its around 65 but its out of stock

Oh you mean camera film sick

I want to get into film photo but I don't have the money

I also want to scan actual movies on 35mm

But I can't get copies of the films

I've searched far an wide for movie reels

[gleaming rose]

yeah good luck lmao

[swift moss]

Yeah lmfao

[gleaming rose]

also scanning 35mm or 16mm film in bulk and at good quality is hard

[swift moss]

Ultimate project of my life is to scan 70mm film like interstellar, but there are only like 100 70mm platters

You can buy cuts of frames for like 500 bucks on eBay so I'm assuming the whole platter if I was to get one would be in the millions commericaly

Hello could someone care to give me a hand with installing windows

When I go to install windows on the drive I want it pops up with this

[swift moss]

You have to hit delete to delete the current partition and then try

If that doesn't work you need to delete every partition and install windows onto that if you want full disk

[wet atlas]

So delete all

[swift moss]

If you want to fully wipe the disk yeah

[wet atlas]

Ok

So this

But for all or just the one that I want to install windows on

[swift moss]

Yup, for all of the partitions

[terse canopy]

Hold up

[swift moss]

Oh wait

[wet atlas]

I’m waiting

[swift moss]

Do you want it full disk or are you dual booting

[terse canopy]

You have 2 different drives. Be sire you delete the correct one

[wet atlas]

Ok

I’m not dual booting

[swift moss]

If you only want it on drive 1 then only delete 1 partition, that one

[wet atlas]

Oh

Ok it worked

Power it off, remove battery if you can, Flip it upside down. Might have a tiny hole in the bottom. Use a paper clip in the hole, you should feel a button press.
Hold for 30 seconds, remove, then power back on.

[inland canopy]

I only pressed the bios reset button once, do i need to keep holding?

Once i pressed it reset, so i assumed it reset

[bronze jay]

bios reset button doesn't do shit when I try to use it

[inland canopy]

When the battery was installed and when it wasnt
Ive reseated the ram; removed most components, removed the fan, but no avail
Same result every time

[terse canopy]

Hold for 30 seconds. I think it just disconnects the internal battery, completely powering off all electronics. 30 seconds allows for the residual electronics to lose charge

i had massive issues with my laptop and they are mostly solved whats up

[vivid pendant]

9070xt out of thoes options

[latent pasture]

what prices
5070 and 4070super perform the same so get whichever is cheaper between the 2
9070xt is a lot better but also probably expensive?

[vivid pendant]

9070xt is like 650-850

BEWARE, theres two varients 300 watt TDP and 340 watt TDP

[latent pasture]

just get whichever is cheapest

[random gyro]

i go with 340

[vivid pendant]

not always the right choice

[latent pasture]

+3% performance 🤮
just get whichever is cheapest

[vivid pendant]

check out jaystwocents video his 300 watt card out performs the 340 one

[latent pasture]

if its 340w cool
if its a 300w u can just tweak it to perform as good as 340w

[vivid pendant]

check reveiws of the different cards base it on what performs best for the price you want

[latent pasture]

all of them are like +-2-3%

[vivid pendant]

he didnt teak them out of the box the 300 was better lol

[latent pasture]

just get whichever is cheapest attempt #233156665322124

[vivid pendant]

go watch reviews and pick what fits your budget and will make you happy

dont just grab whats cheapest they are not all made the same

[latent pasture]

what will NOT make you happier is spending +100-200 for that amazing and astounding +3% performance

[vivid pendant]

some of the cheaper models are as much as 10c hotter under every condition

because i said a more expensive 9070xt has some benifts like a better cooler and better performance with more oc headroom

hes getting the guy to spend +$100-200 on the same gpu just with "better" cooler

[vivid pendant]

the cheap cards have 2 8 pin connectors

thats 300 watt limit,

[latent pasture]

375w

[bronze jay]

That sounds reasonable to me

[random gyro]

gn chat 🫶

[vivid pendant]

cards dont really draw from the pcie slot ever

[bronze jay]

If they spent more to manufacture the card it probably has better cooling

[vivid pendant]

watch any reveiw they are barely touching it

[bronze jay]

you just need to make sure it actually does have better cooling and not just assume

[latent pasture]

watch any review and the "good" gpus perform 2% better than the bad gpus

[bronze jay]

but that's what reviews are for so this argument is useless

[vivid pendant]

my 5090 doesnt even touch my pcie slot ever most its drawn isw 20 watts there

a 5090 buyer is recommending people on a budget to buy expensive

GOODNIGHT

[vivid pendant]

i didnt?

thank you 🫶

[latent pasture]

thats why they have 0 idea what to actually say
they just pay their way out of problems

i told them go watch reveiws and choose from there within budget and rpeferance

[bronze jay]

You got a 5090? Nice! How is it

[vivid pendant]

read up and stop accusing thats disrespectful

its great ruins everything amazingly

also for the record my 5090 was almost msrp so.

[bronze jay]

Not like you even have to justify what you spend your own money on.

[latent pasture]

ur getting a guy to spend +$100-300 for an AMAZING AND ASTOUNDING +1-3% performance and 10c cooler temps
temps which btw are still way within limits for what the chip is designed for
this kind of advice can only ever come out of people who buy 5090s lol

[vivid pendant]

theres no stock of msrp dude calm yourself

every msrp model has sold out and they are NEVER COMING BACK

[bronze jay]

You're being oddly elitist

[terse canopy]

@inland canopy any success?

[vivid pendant]

EVERY RETAILER and the MANUFACTURERES of the gpus said they wont make more msrp models

stop recommending the impossible wake up

wow gee, almost as if i just said to get whatevers cheapest thats left

[vivid pendant]

yeah nothing is left but the models im refuring to

[bronze jay]

Honestly you just sound jealous. I'm jealous too but that doesn't mean you should be bitter and miserable about it.

[dapper light]

Believing AIB marketing material is some wild work

[dapper light]

Literally any cheapest model works just as well

[past current]

Genuine question, I know it’s all talk, but how likely do y’all think Intel will actually come out with a 24GB B580? And if it does, would saying $400 max be outrageously cheap for said card?

[latent pasture]

stfu you should get the ones with better coolers bc the ones with 'bad' coolers the gpu will die earlier

[dapper light]

My shitty colorful 3080ti literally still only reach 77C at 350w

[bronze jay]

In my opinion that would be so cheap I'd be cautious about it

[dapper light]

And the fans aren't even maxed kek

[bronze jay]

It makes me wonder what they are cutting corners on to bring the price so low

[latent pasture]

they probably wont
if u do the math theyre not even earning anything on the current prices

[sinful cobalt]

beliving companies is stupid

[latent pasture]

theyre not cutting corners, theyre losing money

We're talking about a the intel card not 5090

yes

[bronze jay]

[past current]

I thought intel made the GPUs at a loss and used their gain in the CPU market?

[bronze jay]

So they're trying to gain market share

[latent pasture]

the tsmc node arc B is buit on is quite expensive

[bronze jay]

If people buy the cards and like them they'll buy them again

[latent pasture]

and the dies are pretty big
the b580 chip is almost the same size and uses the same tsmc (5nm? i forgot) as rtx 4070
with like half the performance

[rose orbit]

I was trynna get some help man!

[past current]

Yeee 5nm and I get what they’re doing - budget gamer market - but say if the come with the 24GB, $500-$550? Better priced? I wouldn’t expect anything more expensive considering the 5070 and 9070 prices

[latent pasture]

what country/prices is this
its extremely hard to make recommendations without any pricing info
for example what if the 9070xt is $1000 for you but 4070super is $600
sure its better but its not almost double the price better and people will probably recommend the 4070s

5070 and 9070xt same price here 4070 super is 100 dollars cheaper for context

[random gyro]

🫵 😂

[latent pasture]

5070 and 4070super perform the same so whichever is more expensive is automatically out

[bronze jay]

I have a 4070 and 1440p monitor. My only complaint is that I wish it got more frames in raytracing.

[past current]

9070XT would be better, it’s already performing better than the 5070 and damn near as good as the 5070TI

[latent pasture]

so its between 4070S and 9070xt
what r the prices for those?

also dont forget the 9070 non xt

or since u included 4070super tier of performance, why not include 7800xt in ur choices as well bc it performs abt the same

[bronze jay]

But I'm not stupid. Ray Tracing is hard. I don't count that against the card.

[inland canopy]

I left for college, will try when i get back. I dont think hopes are high, but still worth a shot.
Its so done for i think, but ill try when i get bacl

Tbf, the AMD card will outlive the Nvidia card as far as reliability goes. Nvidia REALLY tries squeezing EVERY bit of performance out of every one of their tier cards, AMD is more conservative in that sense towards their beginner to mid tier cards. I’m suggesting; AMD will last longer than Nvidia cards. I’m still daily driving a day one launch edition RX 580 overclocked out the Wazzoo and she doesn’t lack behind.

[latent pasture]

what performance r u targeting
4070S is one of the options, and 7800xt performs about as good but its around 45k-50k inr

[random gyro]

70fps in 4k and 100 in 1440p

no 70super but it should be between 5070 and 4070ti

why not rx 9070 non xt? @random gyro

I have a stupid question

How much harder is 4k than 1440p

9070 xt is superior to the 5070 and the 4070 super.

still a lot, remember area scales exponentially since for each outer unit

[random gyro]

That doesn't sound right at all

[latent pasture]

is someone holding a gun to your family that u have to pick between these 3
im looking at india prices rn and can see 9070 non xt is the same price as 4070 super but you can clearly see in the tests its a big step ahead in perf while not as expensive as 9070xt
anyway, just to satisfy you, 9070xt

[past current]

NO!

[bronze jay]

125% more is 225% total

the 9070 xt competes with the 5070 Ti, not the 5070.

ok

[latent pasture]

guy is comparing between 9070xt and 4070super
...but 9070 non xt is the same price as 4070super and is qiute a bit better, and theyre ok with amd anyway (9070xt is literally the other opton)
but apparently its not included in the ok choices

🤷‍♂️

[bronze jay]

Why are you so mean

[past current]

As someone who is an audio file in the car, audio industry, let me put it this way if you wanna run a 12 inch equivalent size subwoofer, you can’t just put two 6 inch woofers together, it would actually be four 3 inch woofers to make up a 12. Now put it in screen monitor terms.

[bronze jay]

That just makes it more confusing LMFAO. I prefer numbers

I'm trying to explain to him how to phrase it

[past current]

“The percentage difference in workload between 1440p and 4K can be calculated based on pixel count:
• 1440p (2560 × 1440) = 3.69 million pixels
• 4K (3840 × 2160) = 8.29 million pixels

Percentage Increase in Workload

\left( \frac{8.29 - 3.69}{3.69} \right) \times 100 = 124.67%
So, 4K requires ~125% more rendering power than 1440p, or 2.25× the workload.

FPS Drop Estimate

On average, moving from 1440p to 4K results in a 40–55% FPS drop, depending on the game and GPU.

Would you like a specific FPS comparison with a certain GPU?”

[bronze jay]

He said 225% total is not 125% more than 100%

We should swarm him like angry cockroaches

[random gyro]

which board manufacturer should i go with

[past current]

Directly from GPT

[bronze jay]

The best one

[latent pasture]

how much do u care about noise
the main difference between models is the cooler thus noise/temps
the temps are negligible, the cards r designed as a minimum requirement to keep it within tolerable temp range
so its down to the noise

[gusty wagon]

If you have four 1080p monitors, you're running 4k

whats the price of like ryzen 7600 vs that 12700k

do u plan to do multicore work? for most gaming and other lightly threaded the 7600 will be better

[random gyro]

248 and 288

in dollars

[latent pasture]

go 7600 then
unless u planned to go cheap ddr4 with 12700k but that also has a major performance hit

[vast hare]

why bro, im using nzxt cam btw

[random gyro]

i want ddr5 clocked at 6000

16 x 2

for basically using blender and unreal engine @latent pasture

[eternal cosmos]

12700k is way better than a 7600x

@random gyrostick to the intel. thats an awesome price to get it for in a bundle

[random gyro]

i7 12700k with rx 9070xt right

[eternal cosmos]

hell yeah

get ddr5

[random gyro]

i a going with ddr5 at 6000 12 x 2
1 tb gen 4 nvme

gen5 is expensive

[eternal cosmos]

sn770 is cheap and fast

[random gyro]

@eternal cosmos suggest a motherboard

[eternal cosmos]

2tb for 120

[eternal cosmos]

z690/z790

what store/site do you have

[eternal cosmos]

if you can get 2tb now it will save you time and money in future

[random gyro]

great

[junior valve]

y not a 13600k

[eternal cosmos]

thats not what he has

[random gyro]

@latent pasture help me out with the motherboard

[molten patrol]

any recommend on good but cheap thermal paste?

[uneven vortex]

ok i need help, so basically my monitor DP don’t work for some reason. But my HDMI works, So when i’m trying to do DDU. I can’t enter safemode because of this. How do i fix this

[latent pasture]

if u do multicore

[eternal cosmos]

either way its better

in all uses

i7 compared to ryzen 5

[latent pasture]

so ur basing off the name?

[thorn pewter]

You know how much this narrowed it down

And that's a false statement btw

[latent pasture]

thats a 12900k which idt anyone would say is worse than 12700k

[sinful cobalt]

if its 12th gen vs 5000 series then sure

but were comparing 12th gen to 7000 series

[thorn pewter]

And not even then

[eternal cosmos]

show source

[thorn pewter]

You can't generalize this argument, end of story

[eternal cosmos]

why compare 1080p?

[molten patrol]

285k that bad?

[thorn pewter]

No

[thorn pewter]

Why not

[eternal cosmos]

still idk whats the source

[ebon marlin]

Damn, Apple considered removing the charging port completely from the iPhone 17 Air that would've been interesting

It would only charge with wireless charging

[sinful cobalt]

because the lower the res and graphic settings the more the cpu puts in work instead of the gpu

[eternal cosmos]

so even slower charging

[ebon marlin]

Not rly

[eternal cosmos]

its like 5w

[thorn pewter]

Reminds me of the attempt Xiaomi did with their charging tech that was beamed from a place in you're house to your phone lol

[ebon marlin]

What lol

Wireless charging is not that behind that it can do 5w

[thorn pewter]

At least 3 times that

[eternal cosmos]

15w isnt fast either

15w wireless takes 3 hrs

[ebon marlin]

Apple already has very slow charging for their devices at 15w for base models and most basic wireless charging already do that

[sinful cobalt]

everybody knows 3d v cache for gaming slams traditional adding more cores

[molten patrol]

faster than 5w at least 🤷‍♂️

[thorn pewter]

(at least)

[ebon marlin]

30w for pro models

[eternal cosmos]

theres no 30w wireless

[ebon marlin]

There is even higher

Iirc OnePlus has one that does 67w

[eternal cosmos]

not apple or samsung

[ebon marlin]

So more than double than that

[rapid quarry]

Because at every higher resolution, the performance difference between CPUs is within rounding error. Increased the resolution only slows down the gpu

[latent pasture]

even in many production apps are more gpu bound and only need the cpu for lightly threaded loading, 7600 still beats 12th gen
photshop premiere and AE
sources r hardware unboxed and pugetsystems
now u show tests where 12700k is better than r5 7600 in all uses
and by all i mean all

[thorn pewter]

Not quite true, while yes more cache is great, it's not always more cache therefore results in their performance

[ebon marlin]

Still wireless charging

[eternal cosmos]

and its slow

[ebon marlin]

67w is definitely not slow

[latent pasture]

and remember, in the guys stores the 7600 is cheaper than 12700k to begin with

[eternal cosmos]

idrc abt ur unaccreddited sources

just close ups

[latent pasture]

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/amd-ryzen-9000-content-creation-review/#Graphic_Design_Adobe_Photoshop

[ebon marlin]

Puget is very reputable

[latent pasture]

hardware unboxed and puget r now unaccredited

👏 2025

[eternal cosmos]

im seeing a lot of tests where its the opposite

[rapid quarry]

Show source

[eternal cosmos]

the intel comes out ahead

[thorn pewter]

Show us then said tests

[latent pasture]

im waiting what are their "credited" sources where 12700k is better than 7600 in all tasks

[eternal cosmos]

its posted above you two

[latent pasture]

the 14600k is better than 12700k too btw

[molten patrol]

sounds like some UBM thing 🤣

[ebon marlin]

Inb4 userbenchmark

[rapid quarry]

Not in recent times it isn’t

[eternal cosmos]

...

u blind?

[rapid quarry]

I ain’t going into a Time Machine to find your source

[latent pasture]

i think you are

the 3 screencaps r from the overall score of each app

[junior valve]

13600k is already faster than 12900k

[latent pasture]

anyway in the country the guy is asking in, 7600 is both significantly cheaper AND is either close enough(closer than the price difference value) or beats 12700k

why pick 12700k then

[ebon marlin]

• you get actually useful upgrades with the 7600

[junior valve]

and a cooler

[rapid quarry]

I don’t know bout you but I see a 7600X and a 14700K in those graphs and last I checked the 14700K was faster in every respect compared to the 12700K

[latent pasture]

inb4 theyre gonna pull the 12700k can use ddr4 ram (and lose 15% performance) thing

[ebon marlin]

Ion think they're here anymore

[honest gulch]

This is sarcasm
Right?

[rapid quarry]

No. And you seat your cpu into the socket with a hammer. ||no /s here||

[honest gulch]

Oh ok just make sure to pressure clean it a little before

[south arrow]

[neat flame]

wait what

[rapid quarry]

Scroll up before that comment to see what they were responding to

[latent pasture]

mmm just leave it

[neat flame]

i dont see hardware unboxed

[peak knot]

was just gaming on my pc and took these pics with my thermal camera after about an hour of it under load, the gpu cables are interesting to see, 3090 for the gpu

[fresh escarp]

for the sake of never doing it, is it a nice small oc?

[peak knot]

also its fun to see the corsair logo that is shiny in the thermal image on my rear rad

[graceful girder]

well that was quick, grok 3 is crazy

[dusky crest]

Hot boi

[tribal nest]

dell 1070 💔

its kinda cool ig

[dusky crest]

Gib

[tribal nest]

for how much

[sinful verge]

is there like any difference between education edition and normal windows bc i reset a school laptop a few months back and I need to reactivate it to return it\

[peak knot]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-patrick-star-broke-poor-gif-14729256

[dusky crest]

Uhh fwee.99

[sinful verge]

I mean obviously they are gonna see i formatted there laptop but im trying not to have to pay for the laptop

[tribal nest]

hmmm

for.01

[sinful verge]

fr tho can i just activate it with normal windows?

[dusky crest]

Shit, how do i mail 5 euro cents with 10 euro cents

[tribal nest]

ew euros

no

i only take red white and blue tokens

[dusky crest]

Le French?

[tribal nest]

wiwi

[sinful verge]

nvm I can just buy the education edition key

its like 11 bucks

[dusky crest]

Oh actually
I do have 5 usd lol
How do i send that for 15 euro cents tho

[dusky crest]

Hmm
Pirate windows, no?

[sinful verge]

I need to fool a IT department

[dusky crest]

Wdym

[vast hare]

should i switch from auto detect to dc mode or pwm mode in bios for my fans. (do i also do the same for aio pump)

[sinful verge]

I enabled raid to format the drive in bios then disabled it reinstalled windows but its windows 10 home

its a school laptop

[dusky crest]

Pwm every day of the week

[dusky crest]

Lol

[sinful verge]

the plans worked well so far but like I just looked at the sticker and it said education edition

[vast hare]

i have nzxt fans with a kraken aio, that should fine right

[sinful verge]

and i remembered I had to turn it back in

[dusky crest]

I think you can activate education edition with massg- thigy (can't say full name here, for methods use dm's, thx)

[sinful verge]

check dms

[dusky crest]

Prettey sure they need a proprietary hub

[vast hare]

my mobo has 4 pins but nzxt stuff onyl uses 3/2 of them

[vast hare]

so keep at auto

[dusky moth]

Is this alright?

[dusky crest]

What the hell

[dusky crest]

Eh, it should be fine that way

[fresh escarp]

😔

[fresh escarp]

eyy i see ya here too

[dusky crest]

Oi, wassup

[fresh escarp]

not much tbf, used amd software to oc gpu more and not sure if it was any difference 🤣

[sinful verge]

im ngl I wanna do a tech project but idk what I have a 3d printer and I have like a 30$ budget any ideas? Its just sat for a few months and i wanna use it also any good modeling programs i tried free cad But shit was confusing

[dusky crest]

Lol

On modern hardware undervolting sometimes gets more performance than stock

[honest gulch]

On amd stuff you aren't earning much performance from an overclock unless you also undervolt

[fresh escarp]

well the techpowerup says this gpu has:
Base Clock
2000 MHz
Game Clock
2382 MHz
Boost Clock
2593 MHz

But the OC that i did shows 2676mhz, which is a little bit more than what comes with it being what-so OC card 🤔

[honest gulch]

And an 80mhz increase barely does anything

[fresh escarp]

well ye, i'll probs play around more, some people have been able to get 2700mhz more or less

[honest gulch]

What's the gpu?

[fresh escarp]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/sapphire-pulse-rx-6600-xt.b9181

[honest gulch]

Oh nice,try undervolting and increasing the power limits

[fresh escarp]

why was the oh nice there? 😅

[dusky crest]

Hide a wii inside a pc

[honest gulch]

It's a nice gpu

[sinful verge]

I saw that yt video

[fresh escarp]

ay that's nice, makes me feel better that i got this gpu over nvidia i had before, tho i got it used for 185eur

[dusky crest]

From bringus, ye?

[sinful verge]

ye

[left dove]

bingus ' ^'

[sinful verge]

[dapper light]

Say it louder for the ones in the back linus (the keyboard and 1000hz monitor guys)

[left dove]

an purrween

[dusky crest]

I call bs on that

[graceful girder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyLxjG41tJQ

[dapper light]

there's a big difference between knowing there's a difference and that difference actually helping your KD

yea i can tell 360hz is smoother than 144hz

definitely not gonna help anyone improve their KD outside of placebo

if the random chinese username guy with 60hz monitor on internet cafe can rekt you yea it might be skill issue

[pearl fossil]

hey

[dapper light]

hai

[pearl fossil]

i need to know what upgrades i could get for my pc

could anyone help?

[honest gulch]

60hz -> 240hz made me noticeably better (I'm still ass)

[sacred meadow]

🫡

[sinful verge]

why does bro look like hes about to doa segway

[pearl fossil]

i thought it was segue

[sinful verge]

bought a g pro x2 bc i thought mouse was the reason i was shit It turns out its not the mouses fault doesnt matter if I shake like a parkinsons patient

[sinful verge]

(probably is i have the literacy of a 4th grader)
