[gilded sparrow]

TOILET PAPER SHORTAGE

[tame siren]

idiots buying medicine and other products just to resell them

[tame siren]

i remember seeing vids of us stores being completely sold out of paracetamol and ibuprofen

as if that helped with covid

[frosty prism]

@tidal geyser i decided to get a non wifi/bluetooth board and just get a pcie expansion card later or a dongle

[ashen hearth]

Is it ok to play 1400p on 4k monitor or will it look bad? I feel like my GPU won't support 4k but I still wanna make the upgrade to my monitor and buy a 4k 34"

[latent gull]

Tell that to car manufacturers

[tame siren]

for wifi try to get an ethernet connection, i have bad experiences with wifi dongles

[frosty prism]

dont care about wifi just want bluetooth

my headphones are bluetooth so i need that, already have a ethernet cable

[sonic canopy]

is intel really that bad?

[latent gull]

WiFi pcie card ≠ WiFi dongle

[frosty prism]

amd is just better for the price and beats other cpus on the same price point but if amd is unavailable intel is fine

[tame siren]

ah alrighty, then one of those usb bluetooth dongles should do perfectly fine

[frosty prism]

will i have a delay when i hear audio?

[wheat torrent]

fucking 160 usd

[sonic canopy]

sorry let me rephrase, i forgot a part
is intel really that bad? cus i wanted to build a workstaion and gaming pc

[wheat torrent]

I hate my country

[sonic canopy]

without breaking the bank too much

[strange atlas]

Mate you still have to clean your parts with toilet paper after that you do know that right ?D

[frosty prism]

where do you live

[tame siren]

im aware, still dont get a dongle if you can avoid it

[sonic canopy]

wipe first, then bidet

[sonic canopy]

italy

[strange atlas]

still you have to dry it up

[sonic canopy]

use a towel

and wash it then

[strange atlas]

for your cheeks?

[sonic canopy]

we have special cheek towels that belong to 1 person only

[tame siren]

not really, sure more than wired headphones probably, but not noticable

im using a like 10 year old bt dongle and it works perfectly fine

[frosty prism]

alright thank you

[wild solar]

shit ass windows 11 breaks bluetooth randomly

[frosty prism]

is this good? @tame siren

[tame siren]

what currency is that

[wild solar]

black screen i reboot bluetooth is gone

device manger cant see it

its like if it was never there

[tame siren]

missing/bad drivers for whatever you use for bt?

[wild solar]

worked fine

[frosty prism]

aed

[wild solar]

for 2 years

[frosty prism]

so thats 16 USD

[wild solar]

same intel drivers as before

same ax200 wifi card

[tame siren]

cant really go wrong with one of them except you get one for like 12ct off aliexpress, you could look for one with bluetooth 5.0+ but even my old one works

[frosty prism]

12 ct?

[tame siren]

yeah if seen some of those dongles for sub 0.2€ so 20ct

on aliexpress but i wouldnt try them since they cant be very great

[frosty prism]

only downside is this has no built in wifi, i dont really care since i will be using ethernet but yeah

[tame siren]

wifi dongles without antennas are even worse than just those little thingies

dont bother with it if youre using ethernet

[frosty prism]

alright so for bluetooth its good?

[tame siren]

id say so

[frosty prism]

i can get my budget ddr5 no bt or wifi board

perfect now no more spending a shit ton on import charges

[tame siren]

what u gotta import?

[thin plover]

drugs

[frosty prism]

mobo and psu

[tame siren]

those get exported from afghanistan, not imported to uae

[frosty prism]

i kept trying to get a wifi/bt mobo

now im trying to deal with finding a new good psu

[tame siren]

ah damn

really none available in uae?

[frosty prism]

they are but all over priced

and the 1 store that sells fair prices barely has any good ones

[tame siren]

rip

[frosty prism]

and amazon makes me pay a shit ton for shipping from US to uae

[tame siren]

obviously since its quite a long distance

[frosty prism]

unfortunately

now i'll try my best to find a good psu

[plush wren]

theres no way there isnt any 3rd party forwarding services for uae

[frosty prism]

would this mobo look weird around a all black build?

nah i'll think its okay

[tame siren]

surely you could import from a different (closer) nation than the us? maybe egypt, turkey, some european countries?

[frosty prism]

they dont let you pick that unfortunately

[plush wren]

they mean with a different site too or other amazon sites like amazon.de etc

[frosty prism]

https://amazon.ae go ahead find me a good psu under 300 aed that doesnt have shipping fees

[desert ore]

No?

[tame siren]

what wattage?

[ocean gull]

Abandon aesthetics, return to ominous black monoliths for pc cases

[frosty prism]

my pcpp says that

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LVfdgn

[desert ore]

Bro coulda just typed 314 ☠️

[frosty prism]

feel free to leave comments

[frosty prism]

so maybe 650 ish

[tame siren]

thats quite a color combo you got there

[frosty prism]

550

[tame siren]

white gpu, black rgb ram

[frosty prism]

no the gpu im getting is black and the ram is black yes

its just pcpp didnt have a black version with the length im buying so i just got the white one there

[tame siren]

ah alright then

[frosty prism]

so yeah if you can find me a psu i'd appreciate that a ton

[tame siren]

damn thanks for shortening the link amazon

https://amzn.eu/d/is0xFnm

there we go, non modular but free delivery and sub 300aed

[fringe prairie]

its also a bomb

[tame siren]

most are ~300 plus 100 delivery

[warm sage]

What's the cheapest under $100 Lenovo Thinkpad with 512 GB or more that works

[plush wren]

that one

[thin plover]

no the one to the left

[tame siren]

https://amzn.eu/d/hbhgqeI
this ones a bit over 300aed but its fully modular (and not a bomb hopefully)

[solid osprey]

did someone just ping everyone or smth

[tame siren]

at $100 you barely cover an okay screen so youre gonna get one with a cpu comparable to what the saturn v used

[warm sage]

my cuz bought a thinkpad for like $30 so i wanna get a laptop for other use

the crappier the better

bc then it's more affordable when it breaks

[tame siren]

id say look for one used, better chances to get one with a cpu that can actually run a single tab of a nondescript browser

or even open said browser

[warm sage]

yea it'd be impossible to get one refurbeished or new i should've mentioned that

[tame siren]

used $100 laptops are actually worse than the saturn v flight computer

[stuck berry]

hey guys, haven't built a PC in a couple years, is DDR5 worth it yet on a more budget minded build?

[tame siren]

depending how "budget minded" you are

[warm sage]

I just want it to work fine and have a load of storage (also idc about if it's an hdd, ssd, or nvme)

[tame siren]

what are you planning to do with that thing

[stuck berry]

im in the ryzen 5 market, wondering if its worth the cost to go to the 7600x/nonx and ddr5, probably going to get a used 3070 or something similar

[tame siren]

just to do funnies and make it as unusable as humanly possible?

[tame siren]

total budget?

[warm sage]

upload stuff

[stuck berry]

dunno, 750-800, not included ssd and accessories. Might be giving my laptop away to family that needs one and thought i might go back to desktop.

[warm sage]

on the go

bc my internet sucks

[stuck berry]

usd

[steel umbra]

Yes not a bomb

[tame siren]

well, not too sure about us prices but id say if you can get a 7600x and ddr5 go for it, also maybe a 7500f if you need a bit more budget for a stronger gpu

especially for future upgrade ability with am5

[stuck berry]

Don't think the 7500 is in the US market, ill play around in pcpartpicker

[tame siren]

not sure what price that used 3070 would be, but if youre able to get a 7800xt somehow definetly get that

[tame siren]

aliexpress has some yeah, but kinda forgot about that

[main sleet]

idk why but i really want this.

[tame siren]

imma head to sleep now, my personal recommendation would be go for ddr5, but maybe a gpu with more than 8gb of vram

[frosty prism]

bro.

[tame siren]

im aware, shipping is 80aed tho, do totals to over 300

[tame siren]

ah lol free delivery nice

"yes i want free delivery" top right

[frosty prism]

i meant find a psu under 300 that has no delivery charges

[frosty prism]

dont want to pay for prime my man

[tame siren]

oh well

[frosty prism]

yeah

well there are some psus here but idk if they're bombs or not

[tame siren]

the only ones under 300 are basically bombs

[main sleet]

I saw the LTT video about the Retrotink 4k and it's extremely compelling.

[frosty prism]

cmon

[tame siren]

yeah theyre brands ive never heard of and some have pretty horrible reviews as far as ive seen

[frosty prism]

any good non bombs

[plush wren]

prime trial

[frosty prism]

dont have one

[frosty prism]

the benefit here is they'd swap out the psu for me if anything happens to it for free, slight issue is they wont swap out the rest of the parts im buying from other places that'll probably get cooked by the psu

[tame siren]

thats why i wouldnt risk getting a cheap psu

[frosty prism]

dont know, bunch of my friends get the cheap psus from this place and havent had any issues

[high elm]

the FSP and silverstone ones are good

[frosty prism]

fsp is too expensive

[mint umbra]

Buying tech in Canada sucks

Everything so expensive

[frosty prism]

white psu in black build gon go hard

[foggy marsh]

What ssd would you guys pick from these two options (or suggest something else) Samsung 870 Evo (50€) or Adata SU800 (37€), is it worth paying more for the samsung one? (i want to upgrade my opnsense router so i would be running two in raid1)

[high elm]

the deepcool ones are alright

[mint umbra]

Even more so now with USA tariff bs

[frosty prism]

looks like a bomb

[high elm]

nah theyre actually ok

just dont get a lian li power supply and youre fine

[mint umbra]

White parts cost like 20% more tho

[frosty prism]

idk if i want it anymore

[tame siren]

or mars gaming

[high elm]

yeah the FSP and silverstone ones are still the best choice here

[frosty prism]

white psu in a black build is gonna be the death of me

[tame siren]

any rgb psu is worse imo, as long as the white psu isnt exposed

[frosty prism]

this is the case, will it be exposed or

[tame siren]

no

[stuck berry]

i just tinkered around in pcpartpicker, its like a 70 dollar difference between a system with ddr5 over ddr4, and a ryzen 7600 over a 5600x. I think ill go with ddr5.

[tame siren]

yeah then definetly worth it

[frosty prism]

nvm found this one

theres multiple videos of them blowing up under close to zero load

Do reverse fans only work as exhaust? Meaning I will have to buy a mix of reverse fans and normal?

[gleaming rose]

reverse fans don't exist

[dark comet]

What are they called again?

[gleaming rose]

unless you're wasting your money on those shit lian li ones

or any other one with a screen

[dark comet]

40 bucks per fan 💀

[gleaming rose]

yep

[dark comet]

I'm getting the arctic p14

[gleaming rose]

arctic p14 is $40 for a 5 pack

very good fans

[gleaming rose]

@dark comet

p14s are like $7/fan

[true sequoia]

The PN-D is safe, albeit somewhat mid. Obviously the G Pro is the best here but it's quite pricey

[frosty prism]

getting this one

[true sequoia]

Yeah this one is fine, least it won't blow up

[frosty prism]

yeah and it'll last me a few years so

[graceful girder]

[oblique jay]

Tempted to get a pixel 8 8 pro refurb, currently on a s21. What do you guys think of that upgrade if I were to go through with it? I was leaning towards Samsung but upon researching the p8p seems to br better value

[plush wren]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Disk_Image

[graceful girder]

so basically an iso?

why do they need to complicate things

[plush wren]

should be used for images tho i believe

[strange atlas]

anybody knows what are these kinda wallpapers called

[random gyro]

iphone wallpaper

[strange atlas]

Yes but does they have a name i want to use it on my pc

[dark comet]

I was talking $40 for the lian li ones lol

[dark comet]

just search iphone wallpaper for pc bro 💀

[strange atlas]

makes sense :d

[real lantern]

iphone pro max wallpapers hd 8k

[plush wren]

look for them on gumroad they might be paid tho

[strange atlas]

couldnt find any 1440p ones

i wonder if ai can make me one :d

[mellow cairn]

[plain cypress]

by the way thank you all i found it by searching ios wallpapers

[hollow jackal]

What’s the different between these? Can I use them both on my graphics card

[chrome cosmos]

has anyone here used teamgroups m.2 before?

[mellow cairn]

no, EPS12V is only on your motherboard

They won't plug in

[hollow jackal]

So does that psu have enough cords for my gpu?

[mellow cairn]

no, not in the right format.

It has enough power, just not the right plugs

[hollow jackal]

Which one would have enough?

[bronze jay]

Linux is both wonderful and horrible

[worthy light]

debian vs arch

[hollow jackal]

I have a 7800xt

[bronze jay]

I'm in mint because it plays nice

I WANT kubuntu

[worthy light]

ubuntu distro ?!?!?!?!?!

[bronze jay]

but when I installed the nvidia drivers in kubuntu it killed my mouse. Then I reformatted and tried the "tested" version and it killed my mouse again. So I had to go back to mint because I don't know how to install the 550 version without the gui. And at this point I'm too pissed off and fed up to reformat again and figure it out

[bronze jay]

They're both ubuntu based. I just refuse to use any DE other than KDE Plasma

[worthy light]

LMDE 😥

[bronze jay]

LMDE?

right

[worthy light]

lmde 6 is lowk goated

[bronze jay]

I like chromebooks. But only when it's because I'm using one.

[oblique jay]

I've been looking around online and alot of people are saying the jump was worth it and that the 8 pro is a great phone. I'm just not really sure what to do there seems to be mixed opinions when I come to discord.

I made a post in tech support to try get more opinions etc snd explained a bit more of my needs and preferences

[worthy light]

i actually love cinnamon NGL

[oblique jay]

My budget wad originally around 300 but was happy to stretch a bit if it was a good phone and worth the money, but I don't wanna buy something thst isn't gonna be worth

[bronze jay]

There's a lot to like about it. It's just severely not my taste.

I don't think it's bad or anything I just hate it

[oblique jay]

Bud as mentioned in my post, my current phone is dying quite quick even on battery saver all the time I know a replacement is an option but I'd rather just upgrade, so unless prices will drop anytime soon making an upgrade more worth it then I'm not too sure

[bronze jay]

I'm actually really jealous of you because mint is a legendary distro and I hate that I have to make it unstable with KDE

It just pisses me off when I look at it

[worthy light]

true, like how i hate GNOME with all my life, even though it's not bad at all

[bronze jay]

I hate gnome and I think it's bad

I looked at it for 20 seconds and was like what is this windows 8 bullshit and switched back to plasma

[worthy light]

it's more of some chromebook MacOS hybrid BS

It's one thing for people to not have much of an idea of what using an electric car is like.

It's a completely other, maddeningly infuriating thing when people simply will not accept simple facts like "the circuit that powers a clothes dryer provides at least 100 miles of driving range overnight"

i know lol its a chromebook i have from high school im not doing anything with so i just wanted to see if it was possible to flash windows oon it

[orchid aspen]

kinda, i have more experience with smaller devices like phones but still

[worthy light]

don't. windows on chromebooks is like practically almost impossible to install and linux better

[sleek remnant]

fr?

[orchid aspen]

i've already found drivers for everything (except the sd card reader but i can just disable and re enable the device manager to get around that)

[worthy light]

you have to crank open your chromebook to flash windows if im not wrong

[orchid aspen]

i've already got it open, i've disconnected the battery

[worthy light]

flash storage with pesky BIOS protection my beloved

im pretty sure the only way to do it is to replace the flash chip/SSD

with this model the bios protection is supposed to be tied to the battery

Would anyone be willing to hop on a call and help me out with installing windows? Im running into some issues

my rate is $100/hr minimum 1hr billing

After the windows installation finishes it keeps going back to the screen

[chrome cosmos]

Rip

[plain cypress]

what happens if you click NEXT

[chrome cosmos]

It takes me through the normal setup options. Then looks like it's installing Windows but once it gets to 100% it goes back to this screen after a reset

[plain cypress]

in the last 10 years I have not run into that once

[chrome cosmos]

Neither have I. Kind of at a loss right now

what I would do: re-create my installation media, wipe my drives again, make sure its all GPT and no MBR

as initial troubleshooting steps

well any yall recommend

my bad

[grizzled frost]

bykski heatsinks

[grizzled frost]

go on the site you plan on selling your pc on, find similar listings, price it based on that

[long parrot]

i looked on facebook market couldnt find accurate one i asked the other discord they told me to come here

[grizzled frost]

look on sites like ebay

[plain cypress]

It took me way too long to realize this was a dual system case ngl

[long parrot]

is a 2070 rxt super a bad gpu

[wispy thunder]

no

but if you can find a 3060ti for cheaper (which you prob can) it's a much better card

[crude blade]

Good, meh , or trash?

Ik the 4060 is not great iirc

[long parrot]

@wispy thunder my cpu is pretty bad i wanna get a ryzen 7 9800x3d but with my 2070 rtx super would that be fine?

[wispy thunder]

what do you already have?

[long parrot]

i9-10850kk

[wispy thunder]

that's not bad at all

[long parrot]

might sound stupid but i wanna gget that cpu cause its crazy for the game i plau

[wispy thunder]

I'd honestly say just keep using your system for the time being until you have enough money for a full system upgrade

no point buying a TOTL cpu just for it to become outdated by the time you get a new GPU

[long parrot]

@wispy thunder Would a 4060 and that ccpu be fine?

[wispy thunder]

no

4060 is garbage for a full desktop, only good in sff builds

[long parrot]

better than 2070

[wispy thunder]

barely

[long parrot]

idk my pc just feels so slow and want to upgrade a part as im trying to do better in competitive

@wispy thunder i have like around 750$ cad what should i upgrade for right now

[thorny saddle]

9950X3D

[long parrot]

u think my gpu would be fine though?

[thorny saddle]

i dont know what you have

[long parrot]

2070 rtx super

[crude blade]

I purchased 32 gb of ddr5 thinking ram was universal because I’m an idiot…I have an I5-9800…is it even going to work with that chip

[wispy thunder]

nothing. Just save it

you have enough for a used 4070 super

[long parrot]

but my pc feels really slow

like even when im typing rigght now my letters are so slow and laggy

[wispy thunder]

a 9800x3d won't fix that

go reinstall windows and stop installing bloatware

10850k is perfectly capable

[long parrot]

i dont have any of that

[wispy thunder]

if your pc is lagging while typing and you have a 10850k that's a skill issue on your part.

[long parrot]

i dont have any viruses or any weiird stuff downloaded

[wispy thunder]

how much ram are you using rn? send ss of task manager

here's mine

[long parrot]

idk why ligt mode is on

all im doing iss playing rust

thjis shit so asnnoying feels like im typing in 30 frames

[wispy thunder]

why is your entire system utilization so high lmao

[long parrot]

idk

[wispy thunder]

you literally can't complain about your system feeling sluggish while your CPU is being pinned under load

[long parrot]

this isnt normal right

[wispy thunder]

uh yeah not at all

[long parrot]

yea but why isnt a i9-10850 at least decent

[wispy thunder]

no.

that's not the issue, any cpu being pinned under load will feel sluggish

[long parrot]

how do i unpin

[wispy thunder]

come here and see what's using CPU

[long parrot]

this dont add up

[gaunt sigil]

i know i should most likely get a RX 7800XT but i might get a RTX 4070 instead because metro exodus doesn't have FSR

[wispy thunder]

go exit Rust

[long parrot]

im playing it

[wispy thunder]

you're playing rust which is capping your CPU out and you're complaining your system feels sluggish?

[long parrot]

yes

[wispy thunder]

if you upgrade to a 9800x3d you'll get more frames in the game and the system will feel equally sluggish

[long parrot]

a i9-10850 should be able to run rust and not use 100%

[wispy thunder]

you might be uh

not the smartest at this...

[long parrot]

so than tell me what i should do

[wispy thunder]

a game will use whatever it can to the fullest extent

[long parrot]

so how do i cap it

[sinful cobalt]

why tf is discord eating so much cpu and ram

[wispy thunder]

set a core affinity and set aside like 4 threads for windows to play around with

[long parrot]

cause this shit too laggy

[wispy thunder]

idk the guy buys razer stuff

[long parrot]

raxewr v3 pro mouse is the best

[wispy thunder]

no it isn't lol

[long parrot]

one of the best mouse if u dont wanna spend 500+

[wispy thunder]

lolwut

[sinful cobalt]

razer
“best”
nice joke

[long parrot]

ur calling a razewr v3 pro bad

[wispy thunder]

All razer peripherals are bad

[sinful cobalt]

razer
“easily disposable”
“boatware”
✅

[wispy thunder]

Either ur a kid or you're just plain ignorant

[long parrot]

i mean i gotta download the soft ware for my mouse

[wispy thunder]

and if you're a kid, you're being ignorant

[wispy thunder]

lol imagine needing to download software for mice

[sinful cobalt]

ikr

my beast x max didnt even need software

[long parrot]

razer v3 pro is like the best mouse for fortnite comp what are u guys on about

[sinful cobalt]

all the settings u can literally physically alter on the mouse

[long parrot]

cant tell if yall are ragggge baiting

[wispy thunder]

My mouse "software" is in the browser

[long parrot]

nothing is wrong with razer v3 pro mice

[sinful cobalt]

that 1 time razer made a super comfortable iem but

the iem itself everywhere else crapped its pants

[wispy thunder]

moray sucks sonically

[strange atlas]

so good

[long parrot]

ok so how do i cap my cpu @wispy thunder

[sinful cobalt]

the only good product i can think razer made is the viper v3 pro but thats simply outclassed by its alternatives

i’d take a lamzu maya anyday

[inland perch]

hi

[wispy thunder]

I already told you - you can use google to figure the exact steps out right

[inland perch]

hi

this server is getting dead,i can feel it

[sinful cobalt]

hi
nihao
bonjour

[terse canopy]

Whatever this giveaway is has encouraged a large amount of useless chatter.

[sinful cobalt]

asking a chat for a easily googlable answer and ragebaiting with razer lowk crazy lmao

[wispy thunder]

useless is one thing, infuriating is another

[terse canopy]

Lol

[wispy thunder]

the answer isn't common, but once I gave the term he needs to search, the rest becomes very easy

I swear the giveaway acc just dropped the average IQ of this server below 50

[sinful cobalt]

meanwhile me: What giveaway?

[wispy thunder]

I didn't know either

Been here since 2019 I stopped really watching ltt

it's just progressively getting worse

[inland perch]

konichiva

[stoic nova]

Bought the new 92mm Arctics. Excited to see if they're better than 120s for a gpu deshroud. Apparently you can lose significant pressure with gaps from the fans overhanging the heatsink

[stiff thunder]

i 3d printed a new shroud for my video card to attach 120mm fans

[stoic nova]

Is it ducted on the overhangs?

I just got a mounting bracket

[stiff thunder]

yeah

[stoic nova]

Lemme see

[stoic nova]

Oh hey that's lit

Good stuff

What fans are you gonna use

[stiff thunder]

oh i did this like a year ago it has arctic P12s on it

[stoic nova]

Satisfied overall?

[stiff thunder]

yeah it is pretty quiet and stays cool in my somewhat small case

[stoic nova]

Likewise. The amount of noise you're able to offset with proper 25mm thick fans is so much better

[long parrot]

any tips to increase fps and lower input delay etc

[stoic nova]

Send a screenshot of your task manager. Show as much processes as you can fit in a screenshot. Just like this

[long parrot]

@stoic nova

[stoic nova]

Everything looks fine here besides razer synapse

But I've seen much worse

[long parrot]

had to raise the volume on my mic ngl

will delete it now

[stoic nova]

Otherwise all I can say is. If your game settings are set to..."butt ugly"

Overclocks.

That's it.

Buy new hardware

[outer marlin]

Finally got a 5090 founders edition from eBay I got it for 13k

[tidal trail]

used 2080ti for $75 evga 2 fan model

[long parrot]

how jobless can u be

[outer marlin]

Very

[runic perch]

is stock cooler enough for the i5 14400f?

[clear canyon]

Yes, but like any cpu, I recommend getting a tower cooler like this one: https://a.co/d/7xBFgeD

[stoic nova]

148w boost. Probably not. But for gaming most likely

[clear canyon]

148w? Not stock

[stoic nova]

It would be much quieter if you got a tower cooler

[stoic nova]

It's got 65 base TDP

[clear canyon]

Yes but I've never heard of something like that for a low end cpu

[stoic nova]

Oh I see 148 is if you unlock power limits

[runic perch]

do you think i can go with a i3 14100f for just office work?

[limber nacelle]

pretty good

shi if ur not gonna buy it send it to me

[clear canyon]

I recommend a cpu that won't become ewaste in the next 4 years

[clear canyon]

Yeah, 2080ti still useful

[limber nacelle]

for office work it'll be far more than sufficient

[limber nacelle]

not really but I want a fourth

[runic perch]

why would it?

[clear canyon]

Most i3s become pretty crap after a bit due to their low core count. I recommend someone with 6 cores as it will last much longer

[limber nacelle]

its good enough - but I don't see a reason to buy one unless it's a lot lower in price than a 12100f

but uh, why are you getting an f for office work

[clear canyon]

Yeah it should be a KS

[limber nacelle]

spend the extra for a non f variant so you don't have to buy a dGpu

[limber nacelle]

dude it's fucking excel, it doesn't need to have more cores

[clear canyon]

Excell peforms better with more cores so a 6 core cpu would be great

[limber nacelle]

I don't see why they should pony up extra money for an office pc....

[clear canyon]

Longevity

[tidal trail]

it was on fb marketplcae sadly it sold already

[runic perch]

im helping someone who only does office work but for some reason they want a dedicated gpu, i tried explaining that they dont need it but they are willing to spend and i can't refuse, so im just planning to buy a rx 580 for them

[clear canyon]

Im one who wants people to get a little better than an i3 as it will allow for a longer lifespan of the pc

[limber nacelle]

such a waste of money imo

[clear canyon]

What are they needing a gpu for?

[bronze summit]

I want a pet crocodile

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/arlecchino-get-out-kick-out-bye-gif-78393710324309994

[limber nacelle]

12100 is completely sufficient for browsing the web and doing excel, they really shouldn't spend more for performance they won't get real value out of

[wheat torrent]

Most offices here use absolutely trash hardware and they don't complain

I don't think they ever got to use something better

[runic perch]

i think they want to let their grandchildren play games ocassionally or something, im not sure but they refuse to not have a gpu

[wheat torrent]

Talking schools, hospitals and all of that sort of thing

[limber nacelle]

yes I was dealing with a core 2 duo at work and it was literally not an issue

[bronze summit]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-beocord-no-lol-gif-24435520

[clear canyon]

Thats a fair reason

[runic perch]

alrighty

[sharp ivy]

Nice, You should put it in my Gaming Beast system with a tempered glass side panel

[wheat torrent]

Idk it heavily depends

[bronze summit]

How are you Evilhead

[wheat torrent]

But sometimes office work is just arranging some numbers in a spreadsheet and writing some text

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/good-evil-skeletor-gif-13395223

[wheat torrent]

Sure there are people who have 479207 row excel projects of whatever

[limber nacelle]

yuh exactly

[runic perch]

yeah thats what they are mostly doing, apart from web browsing and watching yt/netflix

[bronze summit]

I love my PC but it needs to transition from mATX to an ATX

[clear canyon]

I say everyone now days should have a 6 core cpu, 4 cores are so meh for anything besides light server work

[wheat torrent]

Just get a PC good enough to play videos at 1080p

[limber nacelle]

dude that's just privilege speaking

[clear canyon]

Give it a Mario power up mushroom

[clear canyon]

No, its 2025 not 2016

[wheat torrent]

I wouldn't recommend a PC that can barely play videos

[wheat torrent]

Light server work does more work than what some of those office computers get to ever see in their entire lifetime

[runic perch]

they are willing to spend so i was thinking a i5 12400f, do yall think the stock cooler will be enough tho?

[limber nacelle]

People literally use mini PCs with n100s to browse the web and make spreadsheets

[clear canyon]

I recommend a tower cooler as it will be quieter and cool better

But yes it will work

[bronze summit]

FUCK

[wheat torrent]

I used a stock cooler on my i5 9400f for past few years

I did 3d modeling and development

It worked fine

[limber nacelle]

if you think you need more than a modern 4 core to just fucking browse the web well... not much words for you other than get well soon

[clear canyon]

The office pcs iv seen are being abused, always being worked to death

[wheat torrent]

At my school the administration still used windows 7 with what you would assume equally old CPUs

[runic perch]

ty for the help yall

[wheat torrent]

They worked enough to type some numbers and send emails

Make some powerpoint presentations

[limber nacelle]

I can speak with experience that a fucking core 2 duo is enough for office tasks

[wheat torrent]

Truth is most office things are very very simple operations

Of course there are companies that require powerful computer for their needs, for example video editing, graphics, heavy calculations and whatnot

[limber nacelle]

even then ehhhh

[sharp ivy]

My gaming pc is 4 core😭

[limber nacelle]

up until 2 years ago my campus was using w2225 xeons for their 3d wing

and it was fine

[sharp ivy]

It runsg games very well

[limber nacelle]

great? no
workable? yes

[sharp ivy]

Even my i3-4130 still works decent for games that render on gpu not cpu

[limber nacelle]

'very well'

[sturdy thistle]

4 cores is enough. Depends on what you’re playing. A dual core cpu and a gt 220 is more than enough to play my favorite game.

[limber nacelle]

dude it's for freaking web browsing and office work

a fucking Chromebook could do that

[clear canyon]

This has to be rage bait 😭🤣

[limber nacelle]

I really dunno what blud is on about

[clear canyon]

Last time i used a Chromebook, it struggled to have 2 tabs open

[sturdy thistle]

The game is from 2004.

Star Wars battlefront 2 from 2005

[clear canyon]

A duel core and a gt 220 is something no one should be using now days lmao

[sturdy thistle]

Anyways I was trying to make the point of you don’t need a high end pc when you aren’t doing something high end.

[dapper light]

i think i fucked up my repaste

[limber nacelle]

u spread the paste?

[dapper light]

i did

[sturdy thistle]

Damn

[limber nacelle]

hmm

remount it

[dapper light]

it's still better than before the repaste, much better in fact

[limber nacelle]

u didnt repad it right?

[dapper light]

but still the repaste is not ideal

no i used the original pads

[limber nacelle]

hmm yeah bad mount probably

[clear canyon]

Never said to go high end, I said ppl should be getting 6 core cpus. 6 cores isn't high end what so ever

[limber nacelle]

I think ur take is genuinely pretty bad

[clear canyon]

A r5 5500 is 6 cores 12 threads and is on the cheap

[limber nacelle]

dude a 4 core cpu is by far more than sufficient for what some people want to do with their pc

[sturdy thistle]

I agree

[dapper light]

nah 6 core minimum with how cheap they are nowadays

[limber nacelle]

I've seen 12100s go for like, 50 cad

[clear canyon]

Its not, my argument is that people should get something that will last longer so there is less ewaste

[dapper light]

the point is, 6 core is not high end at all

it's actually quite deep in the budget area

[wispy thunder]

that's probably backside memory actually, what which 3090 is it?

[clear canyon]

Idk how ppl don't understand this

6 cores is stupid cheap

[dapper light]

you can't tell me 100 bucks 5600 is high end lmfao

[limber nacelle]

by the time the 4 core is irrelevant for web browsing and light office work, the same 6 core will be too

[wheat torrent]

6 core CPU on decaying platform

[clear canyon]

Where did you get this conclusion???

[dapper light]

i think if you're willing to settle for 4 cores you're not in the position to complain about dead platforms

[sturdy thistle]

And you can get a e5-1660 v4 which is a 8 core 16 thread cpu for less. Your point being?

[clear canyon]

You can make the same argument for intels 14th gen

[wispy thunder]

do 4 core cpus even exist on modern platforms...?

[clear canyon]

Invest in something that wont be out dates in 4 years

[wispy thunder]

like aside from weird ones like AMD G

[limber nacelle]

because the only reason why those cpus would be fucking irrelevant for light office work and web browsing is that they're no longer supported

[limber nacelle]

if u count lga1700 as modern

[wispy thunder]

4c8t is plenty lmao

[clear canyon]

Why are you cussing? No one is being aggressive

[wispy thunder]

look at Intel Lunar Lake laptops

[sturdy thistle]

You just said to get a Ryzen 5500?

[sinful cobalt]

5500/5600, 7500f still slappin

[clear canyon]

I used it as an example for how cheap 6 core cpus are now days

[clear canyon]

Solid chips

[sturdy thistle]

And I just talked about an even cheaper 8 core cpu. So 8 cores are the new minimum then?

[wheat torrent]

[limber nacelle]

especially for the task suggested.....

[clear canyon]

You're just being ridiculous for no reason

[sturdy thistle]

Xd

[wheat torrent]

How about instead of getting 6 core CPU to reduce ewaste, you reuse ewaste

[wispy thunder]

WAIT do you have a TUF 3090?

[clear canyon]

Getting an old 8 core isn't a good idea for office workers

[dapper light]

Not a tuf, not asus at all

[sinful cobalt]

the 2 extra cores yes but the core themselves are shit

[limber nacelle]

i had one of those, it was shit ass

[wheat torrent]

How so

[limber nacelle]

fuck the tuf 3090

[wispy thunder]

I'm like 99% sure that hotspot is backside mem

[wheat torrent]

Its reusing e-waste exactly what you want to prevent

[dapper light]

Hot spot is core not mem

[wispy thunder]

TUF was particularly bad because the pcb flexed more than the backplate, so part of the backside mem had no cooling

[sinful cobalt]

because tech improvements overtime, current day cores are way stronger than old shitters

[clear canyon]

Bc your example was an older xeon

[dapper light]

Fuckkk opening this card is an absolute chore

And i have to do it AGAIN

[wheat torrent]

Stronger for what

Writing text

[sinful cobalt]

???????

[wheat torrent]

Sending emails

[sinful cobalt]

running excel in 240fps

[clear canyon]

Everything

[sturdy thistle]

The last work computer I had to deal with was a Core 2 Duo E2200, 2 GBS of DDR2 Ram, and a 40 GB HDD.

[wheat torrent]

Editing some powerpoint presentations

[limber nacelle]

I'm sure people will really appreciate that for sending emails bro

[clear canyon]

Excell peformance is Linear to how many cores there is

[sinful cobalt]

its actually very important to do my basic work in 240fps u dont understand

[wispy thunder]

Modern 4 cores are faster than even 6 cores, maybe even 8 from just a few years ago. It's fine.

[limber nacelle]

I think what you're forgetting is that we're talking about laughably light tasks

[sinful cobalt]

14100F matches the 9900k p’sure

[clear canyon]

Its for multi tasking, not a single application

[wheat torrent]

Hear me out now

[wispy thunder]

8 threads is fine for most people's "multitasking"

[dapper light]

The problem is modern 6 cores are dirt cheap

[clear canyon]

9th and 10th gen has aged poorly lol

[dapper light]

You can get a 3600 for 70 bucks

[kindred halo]

EVGA FTW :3

[wheat torrent]

I would say that school work would be a close representation of what office work might represent on average.

What kind of computers do they give at school?

Chromebooks, those often have celerons inside them

[kindred halo]

That's expensive - I can get one new for like 50

[clear canyon]

Iv noticed a noticeable peformance jump from going from 4c 8t to 6c 12t on office work

[wispy thunder]

Intel 13100 already beat that CPU ages ago

[limber nacelle]

70 bucks is far too much zen2

[dapper light]

5600 is still there

[wheat torrent]

God damn celerons

DUAL CORE

[kindred halo]

And that's atleast in a socket that allows great processors
I7 12700s, i9 series, etc

[wheat torrent]

yet Chromebooks are still used a lot

Often with 4gb of RAM and whatnot

[kindred halo]

Next thing you know you'll be running Pentium IVs

[wispy thunder]

ok that's also a bad argument

[wheat torrent]

Its true they can't do real work

But it can do just enough

[wispy thunder]

which cpu to which cpu?

[limber nacelle]

mediocre value for office pcs imo

[wheat torrent]

A 4 core CPU would be much much better and it would suffice

[kindred halo]

Mhm

[limber nacelle]

id rather have a 12100 so I could forgo having to buy a dgpu if I'm writing word documents

[wispy thunder]

because day to day text work, a 258v beats my 12700h, despite being a 4c8t vs a 14c20t

[sinful cobalt]

oh great now theres ads on a fucking digital door app

[kindred halo]

I think a 13100 would be similarly priced

[limber nacelle]

I'm sure that difference isn't noticeable anyways

[kindred halo]

Unsure, but might

[wispy thunder]

it is

12700h performs beyond ass if it's power limited

[limber nacelle]

I see

[wispy thunder]

fortunately my laptop isn't thermally limited, but most laptops are

[sharp ivy]

Is 236fps on high settings in a game that uses cpu to render bad?

[wispy thunder]

and thermal limit = power limit

[limber nacelle]

what game?

[sharp ivy]

War Thunder

[wispy thunder]

CPU to render what?

[limber nacelle]

lol.

[sharp ivy]

Objects

How bout BeamNG

[limber nacelle]

I'm not gonna get started on this one

[sharp ivy]

Physics based

[sharp ivy]

sorry

[limber nacelle]

I have enough of a headache......

[wispy thunder]

no it doesn't

[sharp ivy]

I just think 4 cores is enough for me

[wispy thunder]

it uses CPU for logic and physics, not objects

[sharp ivy]

It's all I realistically need

[wispy thunder]

basically anything user facing is thru gpu

[kindred halo]

I ran war thunder on integrated graphics and a dual core dual threaded CPU, you can run it on anything newer than a current 5th grader

[wispy thunder]

and every game is like that -

[kindred halo]

7600U & HD 620

[sharp ivy]

I ran WT on a dual core and got 26fps

[kindred halo]

Which dual core

[sharp ivy]

i3-4130

[kindred halo]

Yeah but that's an i3

Older i3s are always e-waste

What's your budget, if you're looking to upgrade

[sharp ivy]

Is BeamNG Cpu demanding then?

[wispy thunder]

anything older than 8th gen to run windows is ewaste now

[sharp ivy]

I have a 7700k

[wispy thunder]

unlucky

[kindred halo]

Okay fair enough

[wispy thunder]

time to switch to linux

[sharp ivy]

The i3 came from a PC I got for $20

[kindred halo]

I recommend getting an 8700 tbh

[wispy thunder]

he can't run 8700 in 7700k motherboard

[kindred halo]

Want to make the best of your e-waste PC? :3

[sharp ivy]

It's running win 11 very well thank you very much

[kindred halo]

Aren't they both LGA 1151?

[wispy thunder]

oh no I'm just saying that 7700k is slow

[wispy thunder]

yesn't. Both use the same physical socket but they're wired differently

[sharp ivy]

And out of pure satire I put an Assasin X 120

on it

[kindred halo]

Not that slow, still usable

[kindred halo]

Put a 4790K in it.

Make the e-wastest of e-wastes

[wispy thunder]

Skylake and Kabylake used LGA1151v1, Coffeelake used LGA1151v2

[wispy thunder]

on windows? there's so much shit happening in the background it's not that great

[kindred halo]

Oh, right

[wispy thunder]

like I ran a 7700k at 5ghz for a really long time

it's nothing compared to be subsequent systems

rn I run a 7700 and it's just plain better

[kindred halo]

Huh

Basic 7700 better than the OCed one?

[wispy thunder]

forgot to clarify

I had an i7 7700k for a really long time, then switched around and now landed on a Ryzen 7 7700

[sharp ivy]

Is 2420 Cinebench points bad?

[wispy thunder]

cinebench 2024? Which version?

[kindred halo]

Oh right

I forgot the R7 7700 existed

[sinful cobalt]

i went from some 2015 imac to a 5600 to a 9800x3d

[sharp ivy]

R20\

[wispy thunder]

who the fuck runs R20

[sinful cobalt]

him apparently

[wispy thunder]

either R15 for the classic artwork design and fun fast boxes

or R23 or R24

anyway I'll run it rq

with everything still open

[wispy thunder]

just ran a 6985

[wheat torrent]

Do y'all think this can be used to stack 2 monitors vertically (24 inch)

[wispy thunder]

yes

absolutely yes

[wheat torrent]

Without any gaps?

[wispy thunder]

yes

[wheat torrent]

Damn

[wispy thunder]

those gas spring arms are fricken awesome

it's like being able to steer with a single finger

[wheat torrent]

Idk if this is gas spring

[wispy thunder]

it is

traditional arms can't adjust height without tools

[wheat torrent]

It is

[wispy thunder]

the fact those two arms arent at the same angle

means it's gas for sure

[wheat torrent]

So you sure it can mount two 24 on top of eachother

I just can't find any photo

[wispy thunder]

OH

THAT'S WHAT YOU MEANT I thought you meant like

two vertical monitors and I'm like obv yeah

[wheat torrent]

One bottom one top

[wispy thunder]

in that case uh

probably not, not that one anyways

stacking ones would have the mount points separate from each other

[wheat torrent]

They show this

I don't think this would fit with my setup

My current setup, I am planning to buy a 24 inch drawing tablet

[wispy thunder]

for those there's wider arms

[wheat torrent]

Said drawing tablet must be able to be easily adjusted to lay at an angle at the desk

[wheat torrent]

For that I need to mount my other monitors somehow

[wheat torrent]

This wouldn't work, I'm getting another one

4 displays

[wheat torrent]

Also I can't use tri arm mounts on a triangle desk

The middle monitor won't be in the center

[wispy thunder]

remove the base drill hole

[wheat torrent]

It would be at an angle

This won't work either way!!

I'm getting a fourth montior

I think this could work

Red display is my drawing tablet

This would hold the monitor on top and the middle monitor

Hmm

Will it work will it not work

Fuck it I'm buying it and if something I'll refund

if the proportions are accurate

there is more room to move the monitors up the rod

such that another 24 inch monitor can fit under

in theory

[sinful cobalt]

wat the-

[wheat torrent]

what

[sinful cobalt]

24 iches for a drawing tablet lowk crazy

[wheat torrent]

fr

[wheat torrent]

[elder quarry]

What’s happening

Are you wasting your time

[wheat torrent]

?

[elder quarry]

Nevermind

[mellow cairn]

I almost always use one mount per monitor. Gives most flexibility

[wheat torrent]

Oh I remember you have a lot of setups

[mellow cairn]

yeah and they change semi-regularly

[frail delta]

I almost always use the mount included in the box :p
Gives more flexibility

[mellow cairn]

You disgust me

[knotty breach]

Hi Guys

[wheat torrent]

Would you mind helping me out? with some tips or recommendations

[frail delta]

The included HP stands are better than 96% of the mounts people buy from Amazon

They are so fucking heavy

K?

[wheat torrent]

This is my current setup right now, 24inch side monitors and 27 inch center monitor;

I am buying a 24 inch drawing tablet (they are bigger than 24 inch by quite a bit)

Ideally I want to mount the drawing tablet such that I can easily move it to be a normal display

[knotty breach]

Is 1151(b150-hd3)
What is that missing pin responsible for?

[wheat torrent]

then to move it on my desk so I can draw on it

tbh I am not really sure if a normal arm stand will fit a drawing tablet

I doubt they can go so low and bend at such angle

[knotty breach]

Anybody?

[elder quarry]

Look up the pin diagram

[compact spear]

I can’t tell which one is missing

[knotty breach]

I Looked Is VSS(Ground)
Is Fine?

[compact spear]

Yes

Just one missing?

[knotty breach]

Yep

[compact spear]

If it’s ground pin than it’s most likely fine

[hoary tree]

Apple is refusing to add iPhone mirroring in the EU

[compact spear]

R9 fury x ♥️

[hoary tree]

Likely because the Digital Markets Act would require them to get it to work on windows as well

Apple are sore losers

Anyone familiar with linxmint ive been setting here for hours trying to install ans run commands for "intel-undervolt" but it just doesnt work correctly and its pissing me off

[sinful cobalt]

hey weekend when free

[true stirrup]

Why not just use the bios?

[knotty breach]

Does it affect your performance? Is G4400

[high elm]

need see if i doing anything

[tidal geyser]

laptop bios

[high elm]

Asus havent reply me yet

no email no call no nothing

[true stirrup]

Ah

[compact spear]

I don’t think so

[cyan bay]

so like my friend got a pc and this is his pc

is this any good?

[frail delta]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/get-windows-11

[true stirrup]

Sub 100$ pc right there

[tidal geyser]

cpu is ok but where is the dgpu

[tidal geyser]

update the bios

that tends to be the fix 90% of the time with computers like that

[frail delta]

?

[wheat torrent]

Lmao

[tidal geyser]

most of the computers i work on or people who come to tech support with older computers run parts that came out before windows 11 did but are supported

[frail delta]

Ah, fraud

[wheat torrent]

Ikr

Custom tax fraud

I was so hyped reading this

[junior valve]

roblox 20-30fps, 50 sometimes

[wheat torrent]

Openly admitting to committing tax fraud

That's some BALLS

I really wonder how much it will be in the end

200 USD product with 800 dollar shipping cost

Nothing out of order

[sinful cobalt]

come hangout by crinacle then go din with us

[frail delta]

[elder quarry]

Ofc huh

[elder quarry]

Tf is this

[frail delta]

The updates that need installing for a single Windows computer

[tidal geyser]

xd

worst part is when you need to do it all before you enroll the computer into the network

[elder quarry]

That like how many packages I have on Linux

[frail delta]

What is wrong with these people

[elder quarry]

Who

[tidal geyser]

why should i update if its already working as i want it

not like it might work better to do

[frail delta]

How has Windows not just forced these updates

[tidal geyser]

why do you think

people hated on windows doing that so now they try to avoid it as long as the computer is on

[tidal geyser]

i suspect these are laptops

[frail delta]

Nope

[tidal geyser]

what

welp teach people how to turn off a pc

[sinful cobalt]

i should probably UV my 5070ti instead of overclocking it to 5080 levels

[frail delta]

It's a desktop

[tidal geyser]

O NO

[high elm]

bro it already failed to beat my 4080

[tidal geyser]

what is the up time

[frail delta]

COB today

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[frail delta]

Exactly

[tidal geyser]

only thing i can see is if they unplug it

[frail delta]

Why didn't they automatically update

[tidal geyser]

other then that windows WILL force the updates

as when you turn off or restart after enough updates have passed you are forced to update if you want to turn it off

[frail delta]

It will just do it during boot if needed

[elder quarry]

switch to linux

[tidal geyser]

cant

[elder quarry]

whhyyy

[tidal geyser]

yeah its meant to, are you really sure there are that many updates

[frail delta]

I trust big K with my life

[tidal geyser]

i do wonder, is there anyone with no updates available

[elder quarry]

ye

[tidal geyser]

as its possible it might be optional updates

[elder quarry]

look

no updates

simswitchtolinux petition

[tidal geyser]

e

[elder quarry]

yeah

[elder quarry]

what's up

[sinful cobalt]

that was when the GDDR7 OC was still locked buddy

[high elm]

lets be real right

it nets like a 1fps gain

[sinful cobalt]

realistically the 9070xt slaps both gpus

[high elm]

core clock is what matters

[high elm]

ya in time spy

[sinful cobalt]

hey whats ur 4080 best score then

[high elm]

iirc like 30700

[high elm]

bro your 5070ti needs my magic

trust
