[tidal geyser]

just stop

[vivid pendant]

Dude that's just simple physics

Water doesn't evaporate through metal xD

[brittle apex]

I mean if you wanna be REALLY Pedantic....

[vivid pendant]

That's why air coolers which do use a liquid if they have wicking technology never have any issues with evaporation

[tidal geyser]

how much water do modern AIOs lose

i have a 10+ year old aio with nothing special to the tubes and it still works

[vivid pendant]

As far as I remember I could be incorrect but it's not about the fact that they don't lose much water cuz they really don't lose much of anything Just a couple of little bubbles going into that pump could be enough to kill it.

I would also say 10 years ago something that you purchased is probably better quality with how it was made and something you buy now.... That's my own personal experience buying stuff though

I have a top mounted AIO with top mounted tubes on my pump

[vivid pendant]

Physics tells me not to trust the last image. xD

[tidal geyser]

https://youtu.be/BbGomv195sk?si=WKlJ_q58W72LjJ3y

[tidal geyser]

what

physics tells me air goes up

[vivid pendant]

What happens if an air bubble forms on the tube going back towards the pump with the water? Not the one pushing the water to the radiator the one pulling it back to the pump

If the air bubble forms inside that tube it goes up towards the pump not down and then up the radiator

[tidal geyser]

it cant

air goes to the highest point in the loop

[vivid pendant]

You did not read what I said You responded instantly

Water evaporates through the tubes That's where the air forms It starts off in those tubes cuz that's where it's evaporating from

[tidal geyser]

air bubbles cant just decide form

[vivid pendant]

It evaporates through the tubes not your metal radiator

[tidal geyser]

it will dissolve into the water and then release at the highest point

[vivid pendant]

Literally every video talking about AIOs says this

[tidal geyser]

no shit

but what does that have to do with this

[vivid pendant]

If it evaporates in the tube going to the pump that is the highest point right there unless it gets shoved out by the water and get pushed all the way back down the other side of the loop

[sinful cobalt]

wsg sherlock

[vivid pendant]

I say top mount only Xd

[brittle apex]

So, how's the Acer Nitro V15?

[vivid pendant]

That case can top mount too so.

You can move two of those exhuast fans to the front as intake and then top mount the AIO

[brittle apex]

I'm buying it to replace my TUF which I shorted

[tidal geyser]

yeah it goes to the highest point which is this

[vivid pendant]

So when evaporates inside the tube returning to the pump it's going to pass through the entire loop and then just undissolve and turn into a bubble inside the radiator?

You just said yourself It can't just decide to form bubbles

[tidal geyser]

yeah in the middle of the tube due to leakage from the tube

but it can create pockets at the highest point

[vivid pendant]

What's to stop it with that image forming air bubbles in the middle of the loop since that is now higher than the pump

[tidal geyser]

its not?

[mellow cairn]

It doesn't work like that

[vivid pendant]

The start of the tubes coming out of the pump go upwards over the pump and then back down

[tidal geyser]

highest point is highest point

[desert mantle]

Should i use 2x8pin to 12pin adapter or 12pin cable directly to my 5070ti? I don't want to catch a fire. My psu is rm850x shift

[tidal geyser]

when i say HIGHEST point i mean it

[vivid pendant]

So it will push all of that air from the pump up into the tube and then it will push all of the air to the bottom of the radiator?

You're not answering the questions I'm asking You're just staying highest point over and over if you're not going to actually answer a legitimate question what is the point of this conversation

[tidal geyser]

if it has 12pin use that if not 2x8 to 12

[mellow cairn]

Small amounts of air does not significantly affect anything

[vivid pendant]

If the air forms in the tube and then goes to the pump the pump is then going to take that air and push it down the entire tube into the radiator?

[mellow cairn]

Literally yes

[vivid pendant]

Then what is the point of bottom mounting those tubes instead of top mounting the tubes?

With how little water AIOs actually use what is the benefit of changing the location to the bottom when the case has the ability to top mount the entire AIO?

[tidal geyser]

i sent you a video

[mellow cairn]

...... Because if it's top (well, front but with hoses at top) mounted, it will get a lot of air

[vivid pendant]

If you're taking it off anyways move it to the top of the case....

Take to take fans off the top put the Ariel on the top of the case and then put the other fans on the side as intake

[vivid pendant]

Why does the orientation of the tubes change the amount of evaporated water?

That doesn't make sense to me

[tidal geyser]

you bought your computers mostly for looks

you have a 360mm aio he does not

[mellow cairn]

...... Stop talking about evaporated water.

[vivid pendant]

And I put all of my stuff on top

[tidal geyser]

his case has 3 fans up top but only 2 up front

[mellow cairn]

AIO has water and air.

[vivid pendant]

Why does the orientation of top tubes versus bottom tubes change the amount of air

[mellow cairn]

Water is heavier than air

[tidal geyser]

in his case it looks better for the radiator to be front

[vivid pendant]

So there's already air in the system like a significant amount?

I thought it was pretty airtight to begin with

[mellow cairn]

Because water goes down due to gravity

[mellow cairn]

Yes

[vivid pendant]

That part I did not know.

[tidal geyser]

gasses can also dissolve into water and not be bubbles

[mellow cairn]

There will always be some air

[tidal geyser]

but then after time and heat become bubbles but usually make those at the highest point

[tidal geyser]

pressurized AIO

[vivid pendant]

Yes several of my components I did purchase for looks however if you wanted to build a computer capable of operating like mine. You're still going to end up with a system about the same price due to how much higher the 5090s have gone up in price...

[tidal geyser]

not real but funny

[mellow cairn]

Vacuum filled.

[sudden pivot]

I don't wanna top mount the AIO though cause it's a 240mm

If I ever get a 360 then maybe

[mellow cairn]

I didn't purchase any of my components for looks

[tidal geyser]

exactly

[vivid pendant]

How much did your system cost?

[mellow cairn]

I did hardline RGB water cooling for purely practical purposes

[sudden pivot]

Mine or theirs?

[tidal geyser]

you

[vivid pendant]

xD

[sudden pivot]

Hmm

Like 1400?

[vivid pendant]

My MSI meg x870e godlike is the most practical motherboard

[tidal geyser]

wat

[sudden pivot]

I got the 6800 when you could still get them for $400

[tidal geyser]

i said exactly to the whole looks

get warshipped

[sudden pivot]

Huh?

[peak knot]

@tidal geyser you see my new DC electronic load?

[sudden pivot]

I'm slow I'm sorry lol

[mellow cairn]

About tree fiddy

[tidal geyser]

as in you have a 240mm now and it looks best how it is now

[vivid pendant]

3500?

What are your components?

[tidal geyser]

yus

[peak knot]

thats my homemade standby switch

[mellow cairn]

No, tree fiddy. I am a monster from the paleolithic era

[vivid pendant]

Bruh

[sudden pivot]

That ain't no girl scout! That's the got dang loch ness monsta!

[tidal geyser]

guess how much mine costed

[vivid pendant]

Can you make a homemade PCB that balances the power and reverse mounts the 5090 connector lol

[sudden pivot]

Sleeper can't guess

[vivid pendant]

2500 whole setup

[sudden pivot]

But based off image... $150

[sudden pivot]

for whole setup

[vivid pendant]

I have absolutely no idea what components you have

[sudden pivot]

ooooh beautiful

[tidal geyser]

whole setup EVERYTHING but ofc table and such

[tidal geyser]

r5 3600
gtx 1650 super
512GB nvme ssd
16GB ram
basic 1080p display and mouse and keyboard

[peak knot]

the only power switch it came with is on the back, so i added my own switch that can safely handle 120V and put it inline to the 120V transformer windings. works pretty well so far

[sudden pivot]

Mkay like $200 then

[tidal geyser]

not that first one was more like it

but its not my actual setup but rather a REALLY good deal

[sudden pivot]

1650 and a 3600 would total like $150 used no?

[tidal geyser]

it was 162$

[tidal geyser]

nop

[sudden pivot]

Oh wait I got that mixed with 5600

[tidal geyser]

1650 super is like 50-100$ and the r5 3600 is around 50-60$

[sudden pivot]

I was some on Aliexpress for $70 the other day, the 5600s

Interesting

[tidal geyser]

it even have a 80+ platinum psu

but the main thing that makes me happy is that it has a 6+2 pin pcie cable

so i can even put a 4070 in here

no wait

fuck nvidia

[sudden pivot]

Lmao

I like Cuda, but I have an issue where everything has to match, so I ended up going all AMD

[tidal geyser]

welp best gpu without doing more then its meant to would be something like a rx 7600

[sudden pivot]

More than it's meant to?

Oh for power

[tidal geyser]

the 6+2 pin is only meant for 150w

it can do like 2x that

but if im selling it i do not want to do such

[sudden pivot]

Right

If the power supply is big enough couldn't you do a 6 to 8 pin adapter?

[tidal geyser]

well it would be 8pin to 2 8pin

but maybe its 310w

[sudden pivot]

Dang

2 8 pin?

[tidal geyser]

but i was right there are 8 pin 4070

[tidal geyser]

6+2 pin pcie is the actual name but most use 8 pin for the name

[sudden pivot]

Oh right Nvidia has their weird connectors

[tidal geyser]

i hate it

[sudden pivot]

I didn't have any on my 3080ti, I guess the 3000 series was the last before they switch connectors

[tidal geyser]

nop

[sudden pivot]

Think it was an 8 pin

[tidal geyser]

rtx 3000 had 12 pin cards

[sudden pivot]

Gotta love EVGA

[tidal geyser]

tbf most were normal

[sudden pivot]

ah

[tidal geyser]

evga wanted or i think made some with 2 12 pin

even they knew way before it was a shit connector

[sinful cobalt]

should i get the project meta iem by crinacle as a blessing alternative

[peak knot]

pretty much only the founders cards had the 12 pin

[tidal geyser]

i know for a fact that sadly is not really true

[sudden pivot]

Oh, is videocardbenchmark a decent site for performance numbers?

[peak knot]

all the proper XOC cards of the 30 series used 8 pins minus the KPE card

[tidal geyser]

had a friend i had to spend like 8hrs trying to find and then him buying a 12pin non 12vhpwer since the extra sense pins would not fit

[lethal bay]

FzR go to bed

JESUS sleep do that now

[lethal bay]

I forget you’re not EST lmao

[sudden pivot]

Not like I have anything to do tomorrow lol

[peak knot]

i just got back home from colorado my sleep schedule is 2 hours worse than it was before

[lethal bay]

I got less than 5 hours of sleep last night, about to start my 12 hour shift 🫡

[vivid pendant]

I put all the parts of my PC in a PC part picker list with tax included as I edited every price. I'm still rounding to nearest dollar but yeah

[tidal geyser]

have you slept today

[vivid pendant]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WRG2TM

[peak knot]

today... no

[tidal geyser]

pleas do that

[peak knot]

just got home from the cigar lounge an hour ago

[vivid pendant]

But that's not including my 140 dollar desk or my 1467 TV or the chair + monitor I'm going to buy next

[lethal bay]

FzR buy PoE 2

[peak knot]

no

[lethal bay]

[peak knot]

i gotta buy my little brother HD2 first

[sudden pivot]

mmm 9800x3d

[peak knot]

he wants to play that with me

[vivid pendant]

The full setup should be about 10,004 bucks lol

[tidal geyser]

PoE++ is ok but PoE+++ is something you can do some real fun things with

[sudden pivot]

AMD please give Microcenter a 9600X3D thank youu

[vivid pendant]

They have a crap ton of them hello

[tidal geyser]

do you need X3D

[sudden pivot]

Yes I do

[vivid pendant]

That's been the only reliable place to buy one the past 4 months lol

[sudden pivot]

I have the 7600X3D and I wanted the 9000 series because the improvements just from the cache redesign are crazy good

[vivid pendant]

Columbus Ohio had 500+ on January 30th. That's what one of the managers told me. Their shelves were stocked full they had 4 shelves of them

[lethal bay]

don’t need an X3D cpu if you’re never cpu bound

[vivid pendant]

What's your closest micro center I will look on their website rn

[sudden pivot]

That's not how cache works...

[lethal bay]

this would be the most pointless upgrade in history lmfao

[vivid pendant]

St. Davis pa has 9800s for below MSRP

[sudden pivot]

Also you can overclock the 9000 series

[vivid pendant]

What is your closest micro center?

[lethal bay]

not that you’d be overclocking in any meaningful way on ambient

[sudden pivot]

Didn't say I would said I wanted to, it's a big money for 1 generation

Bro what is your problem

[vivid pendant]

Just check their website put in your closest micro center and see if they have it

[lethal bay]

[sudden pivot]

Is the 9600X3D out?

[tidal geyser]

yes

just buy a r5 7600 or r7 7700

[sudden pivot]

I haven't heard any info on it, and I don't see it in stock near me

[lethal bay]

chillin on a 7700x waiting on Zen 6

[vivid pendant]

No it doesn't exist

[tidal geyser]

what

[vivid pendant]

Every Microcenter has 25+ 9800x3d

[sudden pivot]

I already have a 7600X3D I'm probably not gonna upgrade I was just curious about the 9600X3D 😂

[tidal geyser]

o no wait 9600X3D is a no 7600X3D is

[vivid pendant]

If your upgrading go 9800x3d they are 460 at microcenter

They are literally below MSRP lol

[sudden pivot]

$460 isn't worth an upgrade to me, if they had like a $350 9600X3D I think that would be worth it to me

[tidal geyser]

no r5 7600

[lethal bay]

nah lmao

[vivid pendant]

I don't think a 9600 X3D is even going to be produced

[tidal geyser]

unless you have a 5090 at 1080p cpu does not matter too much for gaming

[sudden pivot]

I got my 7600X3D for $300 on my Birthday 2 months ago 😄

[lethal bay]

Zen4X3D to Zen5X3D would not be worth the money

[tidal geyser]

only a 9800X3D would be a major upgrade if you had a HIGH end gpu and low res monitor

[vivid pendant]

Tell that to the 285k in 4k getting like 45% less fps then the 9800 lol

[tidal geyser]

what

[sudden pivot]

3d vcache delivers frames in every game I play so to me the 3d vcache is worth the money

[lethal bay]

right but I’m telling you that upgrade wouldn’t do much lmfao

[tidal geyser]

you mean 2.5%

[lethal bay]

$$$ for maybe a few %

[sudden pivot]

I went from a 5700 to a 5700x3d when I was on AM4 and got about a 10 fps boost on average, and that's worth it to me

[tidal geyser]

what gpu

[sudden pivot]

6800

[tidal geyser]

monitor res

[lethal bay]

Yeah that’s non-X3D to X3D. X3D to X3D isn’t nearly as much of a jump

[sudden pivot]

1440p

[lethal bay]

ffs lmfao

[tidal geyser]

you were gpu limited

[lethal bay]

upgrade your gpu first

[sudden pivot]

It would be hella expensive to upgrade meaningfully

[tidal geyser]

you should have just stayed on 5700X3D

[sudden pivot]

I'm eyeing a 7900XTX

[tidal geyser]

why no 9070 xt

[vivid pendant]

I didn't know that said 5090 my bad bro

[sudden pivot]

Because less rasta, less vram, and I don't use raytracing

[lethal bay]

so you’d rather spend $400 to make a non meaningful upgrade? lol

[tidal geyser]

ok fine its not a 5090 but eh close enough

anyways the difference is max like 5%

[lethal bay]

They’re almost identical raster performance in 1440p

[vivid pendant]

Intel is having core parking issues with their pcores and e cores too lmao

[lethal bay]

XTX wins handily at 4K tho

[tidal geyser]

better upscaling

[lethal bay]

Nobody should be using upscaling at 1440p anyway

[tidal geyser]

amd also kinda has the same issues but that is only on the ryzen 9s

[sudden pivot]

I was wanting to do the CPU before GPU cause I can afford $400 a lot more than $1000 and if it gives me the same bump that I got from a 5700 to a 5700X3D it's worth it to me

[vivid pendant]

Not as much with the 9950x3d anymore

[tidal geyser]

at launch day the 9070 xt was 600$

[tidal geyser]

it still happens

[sudden pivot]

If you could buy it yes

[lethal bay]

It won’t and that’s a backwards mentality lol

[vivid pendant]

Unless you leave Windows balanced power mode. But even then it's not bad like it was

[tidal geyser]

but yea not as much

[tidal geyser]

you could at launch day

[sudden pivot]

I tried

[vivid pendant]

Honestly I'm considering upgrading myself because I do creator stuff

[sudden pivot]

Order was cancelled

[tidal geyser]

and now some MCs are getting close ish stuff to the price

[vivid pendant]

I don't need the extra cores but it would make my life a little easier XD

[sudden pivot]

I'd still rather have the Xtx though

[lethal bay]

but yeah gpu upgrade is the priority for you imo

[vivid pendant]

If you want to guarantee you're availability to purchase a specific item on the day of launch when it relates to computer parts you need to go camp out at a micro center

That is the only way to 100% guarantee that you are going to get what you want on the day of launch these days

[tidal geyser]

i have the XTX and its nice but i think the 9070 xt will be way nicer for you

[vivid pendant]

What GPU does he even have

[sudden pivot]

I know GPU would be a better difference, but I still think I would get at least a 10fps bump if I went to 9000 series

[lethal bay]

rx6800

[vivid pendant]

Bruh

If you send the same amount of money upgrading your GPU you're going to get a 50 FPS jump .-.

[lethal bay]

$400 for 10fps is not worth the money

[vivid pendant]

And a higher resolution

[sudden pivot]

Why do you think the 9070 XT would be nicer?

[sudden pivot]

It is to me

[vivid pendant]

It legitimately just performs better....

Better rasterization and cheaper

[sudden pivot]

I cant get a better GPU for $400

[tidal geyser]

better upscaler by a lot and ai shit at the same time as it is way better with memory management and so on

[lethal bay]

incorrect but 👍

[tidal geyser]

used rx 7800 xt

[lethal bay]

It’s close in 1440p but loses in 4K

[sudden pivot]

I don't really like upscaling I usually keep it off

[tidal geyser]

yeah amd is shit

[sudden pivot]

I have a 6800

[vivid pendant]

Price to performance I'm not wrong. If you can get one of those cheaper ones at 650-700 vrs a 1000 dollar 7900xtx lol

[tidal geyser]

cool?

the 7800 xt is more like a rx 6900 xt

[lethal bay]

yeah link me a $700 9070XT in stock rn

[sudden pivot]

The 7800 XT has about the same DX 12 performance

[vivid pendant]

Hell a 5070 would be an upgrad

[sudden pivot]

At least according to everything I've seen

[tidal geyser]

dx 12?

[vivid pendant]

I don't think I can link you any 9070xt in stock anywhere

[lethal bay]

and XTX’s haven’t been $1000 in awhile. They’ve been going for $600-700 second hand

[tidal geyser]

dat is 550+

[sudden pivot]

Direct X 12 applications

[tidal geyser]

link

[vivid pendant]

But I can link you probably about 40 different 5070/5070ti in stock at microcenter

[tidal geyser]

only 2x msrp?

[sudden pivot]

Idk how legit this site is so you can be the judge if you like

[vivid pendant]

Honestly I would never buy a second hand graphics card.

[sudden pivot]

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/4917vs4314/Radeon-RX-7800-XT-vs-Radeon-RX-6800

[lethal bay]

ok

[vivid pendant]

I personally value having a warranty stuff that I buy incase something goes wrong

[peak knot]

https://tenor.com/view/uhhhhh-gif-18728531

[sinful cobalt]

average 5080 owner hearing this:

[tidal geyser]

this is not gaming performance

[tidal geyser]

good joke

[lethal bay]

right lmfao

[tidal geyser]

"and kiss something "

[tidal geyser]

you and me both'

[peak knot]

second hand is love, second hand is life

[sudden pivot]

I guess I'll look at game benchmarks next

[vivid pendant]

I apologize I have a little bit of an accent and I am using voice to text

[tidal geyser]

wut

[vivid pendant]

Voice to text does not like my accent sometimes

[lethal bay]

I think my favorite thing about being scheduled to come into work at 6am is watching literally every coworker scheduled at the same time come in late

[tidal geyser]

i think i have bought over 300 things now

[tidal geyser]

no why are you using that and not typing

[peak knot]

hell i just sent off my ally to asus yesterday for warranty repairs

[vivid pendant]

I am, my hands are in quite a lot of pain right now

[tidal geyser]

how many things were wrong

[peak knot]

well idk how messed up it got when it got fried

[vivid pendant]

Did you document everything so they don't try to charge you money to fix it xD

Asus the scam warranty

[peak knot]

since it was under warranty i didnt tear it down to see the damage myself

[vivid pendant]

You should have

[sudden pivot]

@tidal geyser https://www.techspot.com/review/2734-amd-radeon-7800-xt/

[vivid pendant]

They tried to charge gamers Nexus for something completely not related to the warranty....

[tidal geyser]

well you are in the US right

[vivid pendant]

I wish you luck

[sudden pivot]

They describe the 7800 XT as having very similar performance to that of the 6800 XT

[peak knot]

i know the issue and if asus tried to charge me for the repairs ill pass it on to baseus

[vivid pendant]

You should just be able to say no and they should respect that if you say no to things you're not sending it in for

[peak knot]

i know either the VRM or charging circuit detonated

[vivid pendant]

They did basically respect saying no when it came to gamers Nexus even though they had to say it multiple times

DETONATED lol. Bro it just exploded

[peak knot]

i saw a small flash of light throught the clear case i had on it and it smelled burnt

[vivid pendant]

If I had contacts inside of ASUS like you do I would just buy Asus products lol

[tidal geyser]

yeah xt

[vivid pendant]

I'm still thinking of buying their 480 Hertz WOLED 1440p monitor

It's like literally the best on the market currently

[peak knot]

according to you you wouldnt, the stuff i get from asus is as is with asus denying all things related to them with a 10 foot pole

[lethal bay]

I genuinely can’t imagine anything higher than 240Hz being worth the money

[vivid pendant]

I'm saying like if I had a contact I could just message and be like hey I sent it in for this why they trying to charge me for that

[sudden pivot]

I can't see over like 160ish

[peak knot]

like my apex z590 asus would deny outright to even touch it

[vivid pendant]

But frankly after seeing the story of Asus trying to charge someone nearly $4,800 to warranty of 4090 that's crazy

[lethal bay]

like when I went from 144hz to 240hz I was like “this is nice, but not insanely better”. I’m on 144hz again and had no issues “downgrading” lol.

[sudden pivot]

I don't notice the diff between 160 and 180

[tidal geyser]

its funny, one of my cousins got a 360hz over the 240hz i have but when i came over for some event he barely went over 240 in anything

[vivid pendant]

I have plenty of games that will easily run that fps. Fortnite among them and lower res marvel rivals lol

[lethal bay]

yeah lol

[vivid pendant]

I also have several older games that I play that will go that fast where the higher FPS actually helps.

[lethal bay]

4K 144Hz > 1440p 240Hz imo

[vivid pendant]

144 is not even enough in 4K for my games

[tidal geyser]

that kinda stops the point of getting a oled at least soem of em

[vivid pendant]

Some of my games running at 300+ in 4k max settings

[peak knot]

anything after 144hz is kinda too small of a difference to care

[vivid pendant]

Warframe lol

[tidal geyser]

the hz of the panel does not need to match the amount you can give out

[vivid pendant]

Not to my eyes

[lethal bay]

And I play like 90% tac shooters

[vivid pendant]

I literally still can't play Warframe because it just feels laggy at 120 FPS

[tidal geyser]

one thing i do wonder about, where the hell do you get so much money from

[vivid pendant]

I'm used to playing at a constant 240. I can feel the input lag

[thin plover]

gambling

[tidal geyser]

i hope not

[vivid pendant]

House is paid off, car is paid off

[sudden pivot]

I'm actually mad that frame gen exists

[vivid pendant]

It's literally just all of the things here are just kind of paid off

I contribute to the electricity bill and the Wi-Fi bill of where I live but literally everything else is paid off so I can just save money

[lethal bay]

When I went from 240 back to 144 I was adjusted in under a day

[signal vault]

What do u guys think about the 7600xt?

[sudden pivot]

Solid unit

[lethal bay]

mid

[tidal geyser]

what is your job

[sinful cobalt]

blud didnt do his research

[tidal geyser]

sad

[vivid pendant]

I've been getting on it everyday for a couple of weeks now and I still haven't adjusted and I don't like it

[tidal geyser]

he does

[sudden pivot]

That's like 1080p high settings

[vivid pendant]

Well my job was maintenance at an airport but the work environment became too toxic for me so I quit on Monday

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[vivid pendant]

I have an interview tomorrow at a job offering 80k starting

[lethal bay]

1080p and High Settings is lowkey an oxymoron

[sudden pivot]

🙄

[tidal geyser]

not like that was what i did for a few years

[thin plover]

gl

[lethal bay]

I view 1080p now the same way I did 720p awhile back lol

[tidal geyser]

laptops

[vivid pendant]

I play Warframe which runs at nearly 300 FPS in 4K. Higher FPS in extremely fast-paced gameplay in Warframe really helps....

I play Star Trek online PVP and when it comes to that game activating something a fraction of a millisecond late can lead to your entire team losing the premade match

The more FPS I have the sooner I am visually seeing what is actually happening so I can respond to it

[peak furnace]

what other resolutions are people playing at? thats like 15% free

[sudden pivot]

720 I guess?

[lethal bay]

stretched res CS players

[sudden pivot]

Or laptops and stuff with custom screen sizes

[thin plover]

steamdeck is 800p

[tidal geyser]

ultrawide

[vivid pendant]

Fortnite will also easily hit 480 FPS in 1440p with a 5090 and a 9800x3d.

[peak furnace]

Can ur monitor even handle 300 fps at 4k tho? usually its 60 no?

[peak furnace]

ah yes

[trim idol]

okay, not to nitpick, but as a human, you don't have the ability to gauge things on a nanosecond scale

[vivid pendant]

120 and it's a TV. So no it cannot even display that FPS

[peak furnace]

lol

[sudden pivot]

I'll never have 400fps in Fortnite, I like nanite

[lethal bay]

The benefit of 4K is being able to use upscaling and it not look like shit

[peak furnace]

120fps 4k must be a dream

i love my 180hz 1440p monitor that i got like a month ago

[sudden pivot]

Same

I got an Asus 165 that overclocks to 180

[peak furnace]

AOC is a budget king it was 230 bucks for 180hz 1440p

[vivid pendant]

No that is a completely valid thing to say I am not able to react in that length of time but the quicker I can actually have it displayed instead of waiting 10 milliseconds or 15 milliseconds for it to be displayed If I can wait 1 or 2ms. Because that's the time it's taking my GPU to render the frames I can respond that much faster.

[lethal bay]

I just spent $900 on my display last week lmao

[vivid pendant]

Nanite?

[peak furnace]

the 27AQ1A?

[tidal geyser]

Fortnite rt

[vivid pendant]

I mean if I just turn on upscalling and I turn off like three settings I get nearly 400 in 4K lol

[peak furnace]

was looking into that one

[sudden pivot]

I think so

[peak furnace]

god

what gpu do you have?

[vivid pendant]

This is everything 100% maxed with DLSS 4 transformer model on performance

I've had a lot of people from the Fortnite community Tell me that just having that counter on lowers it by 20 to 30 FPS

I have an RTX 5090.

[peak furnace]

aka you now have 1 kidney?

[vivid pendant]

If I put setting on minimum I get nearly 500 in 4k lol

[vivid pendant]

No? How much do you think I paid for it

[sudden pivot]

I wish I hadn't gotten it

[vivid pendant]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WRG2TM

[sudden pivot]

I think it's a VA panel and I like IPS better

[peak furnace]

a kidney lol

[vivid pendant]

Price of every single part I paid including tax rounded to the nearest dollar

[edgy holly]

i love my steamdeck ngl

[lethal bay]

I’ll consider a 5090 if any become readily available near MSRP

[trim idol]

I know what you were getting at, I just haven't had enough coffee yet, so I'm on my default setting of pedantic

[vivid pendant]

No worries I like it

[peak furnace]

thats more than a kidney wtf

[gloomy sleet]

finally figured out my springs now just to make it so it doesn’t flex

[sudden pivot]

Gemini says it's an IPS so I guess I'll trust it

[tidal geyser]

Just bought a rtx 2070

[lethal bay]

turding

[gloomy sleet]

decent card

[peak furnace]

i want an oled monitor so bad

[vivid pendant]

The average cost of a kidney transplant is $440,000 USD

[edgy holly]

pretty dope feature ngl

[trim idol]

You know that on average, AIs are wrong 67% o the time, right?

[peak furnace]

how do you know this

[sudden pivot]

same

[sudden pivot]

That's the joke

[gloomy sleet]

i’d be happy enough if i had a 2070

[vivid pendant]

You can look it up. Also my grandpa has one years ago lol

[tidal geyser]

It costs more then me 2080

[edgy holly]

depend on what tbh

[peak furnace]

im tryna get a summer job this summer just so i can get an oled monitor lol

[lethal bay]

Nice OLED monitors can be had for ~$500, cheaper if you find em on sale

[vivid pendant]

Both of his kidneys failed so he needed a kidney transplant cuz he didn't want to deal with dialysis

[trim idol]

doh...

[gloomy sleet]

that’s a really specific number but sounds about right

[trim idol]

I should go back to bed

[mellow cairn]

My 120hz OLED 4k is great

[peak furnace]

what??

[vivid pendant]

I agree

[lethal bay]

mhm

[peak furnace]

How much would like a 240hz 1440p oled go for

[trim idol]

Mine too 😄

[edgy holly]

i like ai, its pretty nice to help me study since it can make notes quite easily and it explain shit quite well usually

[vivid pendant]

Final fantasy 120hz 4k OLED

[sudden pivot]

600ish

[lethal bay]

I bought a 1440p 240Hz QD-OLED for $400 on Black Friday

[peak furnace]

im viewing this through my shitty school laptop but oh my god i love that

[lethal bay]

https://a.co/d/fmdCFP7

[vivid pendant]

That's a 65-in TV so you can gauge the size of the PC on the other side

[lethal bay]

OLED is more attainable than ever rn

[trim idol]

But for gaming, I prefer my 240Hz 1440p oled 🙂

[vivid pendant]

240 hz is just too slow for the games I play.

[trim idol]

Yeah, I'd agree with this.

[lethal bay]

I went from a 27” 1440p 240Hz OLED to a 42” 4K 144Hz OLED lmao

[vivid pendant]

I bought a 5090 and I honestly want to utilize it 100% fully so I want to get a monitor where I don't have to cap my FPS lol

[peak furnace]

ah yes anime girls

[vivid pendant]

I might as well sell my 90 and go down to an 80 if I'm only going to go 240 lol

[tidal geyser]

130usd

[lethal bay]

yeah gamer marketing go hard

[trim idol]

So you play at 1080p or 1440p?

[vivid pendant]

Sim know any good 480hz 1440p OLEDs?

[vivid pendant]

4k and almost every single game I play goes over to 240 as it is

The only games that don't is Fortnite and marvel rivals and monster hunter wilds

[sudden pivot]

Can you see that high?

[vivid pendant]

I can.

[trim idol]

You know that frame timing still benefits you even if the monitor can't display them all, right?

[mellow cairn]

I can see into the future.

[vivid pendant]

Then again I've also been competitively gaming for the past 15 years from console to pc

[lethal bay]

He’s somehow convinced himself 240Hz is too slow

[vivid pendant]

Oh definitely Ik it does

I don't cap it in any of those games currently and it does actually give me a noticeable difference but even at that some of them still feel choppy and I don't like it lol

[trim idol]

like, seeing all those frames doesn't matter, what matters is that you see the most up to date frames

[trim idol]

I the game feels choppy, that's because 50 series has MISERABLE frame time spikes

[lethal bay]

I cap my framerate to whatever my 1% lows are in competitive games

[lethal bay]

FPS fluctuations in games like Val and CS piss me off

[vivid pendant]

Marvel rivals be like.

[vivid pendant]

Bruh?

Imagine being able to hit 480 FPS but then you cap yourself to 120 cuz that's what your 1% was

[lethal bay]

I can hit like 700fps in Val and I cap it to 240 lmao

[vivid pendant]

FPS fluctuations make me literally want to cry

[sudden pivot]

for real

[trim idol]

If you have a card that hits 480, but your 1% lows are 120, something is SERIOUSLY wrong

[lethal bay]

That too

[vivid pendant]

That was an example but yeah

Then again Mac just said they can hit 700 but they're capping it to 240

[sudden pivot]

Even with G Sync/Free Sync I always like to cap it, and I hate when a game doesn't let me cap the framerate

[lethal bay]

but yeah even if my fps is constantly over my refresh rate, if it’s fluctuating constantly I can feel it and it annoys me

[vivid pendant]

I don't ever use any type of sync cuz I've never had a display with it before xD

[trim idol]

But seriously, if you feel like your games are choppy at the frames you play at, more fps isn't going to help. You're experiencing the 50 series driver problems

[lethal bay]

I’d rather be locked at 250 than be bouncing between 400 and 700 constantly

[sudden pivot]

I swear you get microstutters without a cap, even with G Sync

Idk if it's microstutters but its something

[trim idol]

I cap with gsync. things are perfectly smooth, and my frametimes flatten out

[vivid pendant]

It's not exactly choppy It's hard to describe. It feels like frame generation on times 4 with 50ms delay.

I'm just used to 240. I've been playing for the past 4 years with 240 on my laptop.

And even though my PC got a significant upgrade and so did my display it's FPS got cut in half for what it can actually display

Even if I do see the most up to date is still feels laggy to me

[trim idol]

I do get what you're saying. When I switched from plasma to oled, I felt that. Plasma is soooo much faster than oled, and oled felt sluggish

It took weeks to get used to oled's display speed

[sudden pivot]

I've never even heard of plasma now I gotta look that up

[vivid pendant]

You know what's funny about that statement

[lethal bay]

were you born after 2010

[trim idol]

plasma was the shit back in the day but it never went over 1080p 60Hz

[vivid pendant]

The fact that OLED is displayed at .01 milliseconds to .03ms. and plsma is sub .01

[sudden pivot]

No, i'm just dumb

[vivid pendant]

If you're noticing the difference between that....

[trim idol]

(except for a few models)

[trim idol]

lol... I guess I stepped in it

[lethal bay]

Now that I’ve been on OLED though I don’t think I could go back to a non OLED main display

[frosty prism]

whats the point of having ports in the front of the case if it cant even reach the mobo?

[vivid pendant]

It's also really just I purchase a 5090 I spent over $6,500 on just this PC not including any peripherals. I want to 100% fully utilize it in every game I play

[trim idol]

That makes sense. And finding the perfect display is the next thing you need to do

[vivid pendant]

I got my TV for the main reason that I kind of needed a TV. My old one was broken but the second reason was for my more cinematic games which is why I chose to go with OLED or my racing games where the fps doesn't bug me

[vivid pendant]

I only know of two displays that exist at 480hz 1440p

Maybe 3
Asus
LG
Samsung

[lethal bay]

I joined the 42” OLED TV as a monitor gang personally

[tidal geyser]

i would do ultrawide

[lethal bay]

Ultra wide is cringe

[tidal geyser]

no u

[trim idol]

There will only be Samsung and LG panels that do that. You should research the panel tech and see which you prefer.

Personally, I prefer LG panels to Samsung

[lethal bay]

Just get a 42” OLED TV

[tidal geyser]

my own plans was ultrawide but that qd oled i have now was just too cheap to not go for instead

[lethal bay]

I’m selling mine soon lol

[vivid pendant]

I mean those 3 brands are the only brands that I've seen have monitors that are even at that speed

[lethal bay]

Want another one?

[vivid pendant]

MSI is coming out with a 500 in q2

[sudden pivot]

Yeah I don't get the appeal of Ultra Wide either

[tidal geyser]

ever used one

[lethal bay]

yeah

[vivid pendant]

I have I hate it

[sudden pivot]

I hate them

[vivid pendant]

Spent 2 days messing with one at microcenter while I was in line xD

[tidal geyser]

my father got one and i have used it for a week and man games just feel so good with it

[lethal bay]

I love not being able to see 15% of each edge

[trim idol]

All of these use the same LG panel

[tidal geyser]

that is what makes it so good

[sudden pivot]

For office work it's nice, but every thing else I don't like it

[lethal bay]

nah

[tidal geyser]

it truly feels like you are in the game

for me with a flat i still do get that feeling ofc but not as much

[trim idol]

ultrawide ftw

[vivid pendant]

They are all woled?

[tidal geyser]

you can only really see the benefit while using it

[trim idol]

I run a 45" ultrawide and its the best

[vivid pendant]

They're not tall enough for me

If I want to be that much in the game I'll put my VR headset on lol

[tidal geyser]

xd

[trim idol]

that is one of the issues

[tidal geyser]

i know what panel you want

[vivid pendant]

Bruh?

Can it do 480hz

[tidal geyser]

this not enough

[vivid pendant]

That would work if I had the room

[trim idol]

oooo what is that?

[tidal geyser]

55" Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen. 4K UHD 165Hz 1ms(GtG) Quantum Mini-LED Curved Gaming Screen

[trim idol]

sleep in a hammock. make the room

[sudden pivot]

I like having 3 screens better than one huge one

Discord on the right, Stats on the left, and then the main

[trim idol]

ahh... I couldn't go down to 165Hz

[hexed parrot]

Lowkey a good idea
Ama start sleep on the couch

[sudden pivot]

lmao

[trim idol]

I have a huge screen... plus two 24s on the side

[hexed parrot]

Cs major? 💀

[trim idol]

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind i think this is mostly limited due to 2.1 being so new

[hexed parrot]

Ok respect 🫡

[vivid pendant]

The space I have

So a 27 is all I can do lol

[trim idol]

major... I don't even remember college anymore.

[sudden pivot]

I like writing stories but only like 5 pages and then I throw it away and never touch that idea again lol

Could never be an author

[hexed parrot]

First u need a table sir

[sudden pivot]

Walls exist

VESA go brr

[trim idol]

Yeah... has a 5090 and that janky-ass table. You gotta fix that

[hexed parrot]

May I ask for your book name
As long as not too long 🥹

[tidal geyser]

6.5k pc and like 100$ table

na probs 200$

[trim idol]

The book name cant be too long? lol

I've published 125 books

[hexed parrot]

The book itself 😭 the biggest book I read was probably 300pages so hopefully smaller than that

[trim idol]

Rika Outcast would be a good one. The books in that series are a bit under 300 pages each

[hexed parrot]

That’s actually very cool 🫡🫡🫡

[trim idol]

thanks 🙂

[jagged hazel]

Good morning chat

[vivid pendant]

110 inch desk

It just has a 65 inch TV on it and a 1.2 foot wide PC

[hexed parrot]

Not on Amazon 🫥 where can I find it

[hexed parrot]

Morning

[jagged hazel]

I have a 65 inch tv in my bedroom too

[trim idol]

Rika Outcast is absolutely on Amazon

[jagged hazel]

I love it

[tidal geyser]

WHAT TF

[vivid pendant]

It's not an issue with the desk It's an issue with having a 65 inch TV and a massive PC case on the desk

[hexed parrot]

Oh apologies I typed wrong

[trim idol]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072FCXNZH

[vivid pendant]

The cover that we took off of it broke when we took it off. We had to replace the outlet

[hexed parrot]

Thank you very much

[tidal geyser]

how old is the pic

[vivid pendant]

Was a stupid plastic one. I litteraly just took it

[trim idol]

you're welcome 🙂

[vivid pendant]

We replaced the outlet today

[tidal geyser]

you said you replaced it

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[vivid pendant]

We did. Then it broke lol

So we replaced it again.

[tidal geyser]

ffs

[vivid pendant]

My dad wanted to work on painting the wall and shoved my bed forward slamming it into my power brick breaking the new outlet again. That's literally how the first one broke too xD

[tidal geyser]

a European plug would brobs break the bed

[jagged hazel]

Actually

[hexed parrot]

I will be ordering it as soon as my wallet recovers from the Kafka series 🥹

[jagged hazel]

Outlets tend to be stronger than that?

Please don't be buying the cheapest outlets at the store

They wear out so much faster

[vivid pendant]

It wasn't cheap lmao he slammed the bed forwards

Dunno why he pushed it so hard it has wheels...

[jagged hazel]

He slammed it okay

[vivid pendant]

Yeah xD

[jagged hazel]

We have a couple hospital type plugs and I'll say Jesus

[vivid pendant]

PC was plugged there too. It just turned off

[jagged hazel]

The hospital plugs are tight

Even after years of use

[tidal geyser]

well there is a good reason why

[vivid pendant]

So now it's plugged into an extension cord into a different outlet connected to a light switch

[jagged hazel]

Sobbing

[jagged hazel]

Im just saying they are made really good usually

[vivid pendant]

I mean I could fit a 32 inch there. I would just have to move the TV over more

[tidal geyser]

yup

[hexed parrot]

Get the once that are like skinny on the tip and the wire goes downwards

[jagged hazel]

We have like a 45 inch in our shop but I literally sit further from it than my bedroom tv and I have to wear my glasses to read it

[trim idol]

woot! just sold this little computer 😄

[jagged hazel]

6600 with a xeon

[tidal geyser]

why does it look like its almost just one stick of ram

[jagged hazel]

That seems kinda so random..?

Is it just me?

But it looks nice

[tidal geyser]

she is doing a war crime

[trim idol]

The other stick doesn't have a heat shield on it because it sits under the fan

[tidal geyser]

like WTF

[tidal geyser]

its a 4 channel cpu with 2 sticks

[jagged hazel]

Also can I comment on

[tidal geyser]

WTFFFFFF

[trim idol]

mhmmmm

[tidal geyser]

CMON

[trim idol]

your point being?

[tidal geyser]

4 channels

[jagged hazel]

How bad this is? I told my friend to stay far away from this one

[tidal geyser]

its one of the rare times there 4 sticks will net a good improvment

[jagged hazel]

The 6400 and 8 gigs of ram for almost 700?

[vivid pendant]

Honestly I can probably swing a 32

[trim idol]

You realize that using all 4 channels is slower than 2, right?

It would be faster for high-memory utilization tasks, but for things like gaming, it's slower

[tidal geyser]

i hope that is cad

[vivid pendant]

Are there any 480 Hertz 32 inch monitors?

[jagged hazel]

Absolutely not. USD I'm not even sure it'd be worth it CAD

[vivid pendant]

I'm using 2 channels

2 channels...

[tidal geyser]

4 sticks on a 2 channel yeah ofc but that cpu is made to use all 4 channels

[tidal geyser]

its hardly worth half that

[vivid pendant]

It's only 2 sticks of ram I promise....

[trim idol]

It's a bit random, yes. I'm moving, so I put what I have into PCs to sell. This xeon has a white mobo, so there it is.

Its an E5-2643 V4, so around R3600 performance.

[hexed parrot]

You can get a ryzen 7 5700 with ax 6600 for that price
That’s what I’m rocking

[jagged hazel]

I told them to stay far away. The pc i sold was literally like better. 16 gigs and a 1070 same process tho

[trim idol]

That's not exactly how it works.

For example I have a dual E5-2699 server and it can use 8 channels of ram. I have it using 4 because its literally faster for the tasks I throw at it with 4 channels used than 8

[tidal geyser]

what

[hexed parrot]

I may have done it for no reason but I got 64 gigs but u could save another 80 to 100 if you go with 16

[tidal geyser]

Max # of Memory Channels
4

the e5 2699 only has 4 channels

[trim idol]

There's so much information out there about this... this is not new

[trim idol]

read, my guy. DUAL

[tidal geyser]

well yeah in that case it makes sense

[trim idol]

yeah, when you read what I actually wrote, it makes sense

[jagged hazel]

Ooooo

[hexed parrot]

Chat random questions
Is 7600 better or 3060
Found 7600 for cheaper tho

[jagged hazel]

3060 should be better iirc than 6700

[tidal geyser]

having to communicate between cpus will always do wonky things

but i am talking about a single cpu

[hexed parrot]

No sir 7600

[tidal geyser]

with 4 channels, using 2 vs 4

[jagged hazel]

I was thinking about the 6600 but yeah go for the 7600 then

[trim idol]

4 channels used causes the same sort of issues as 2 channels using 4 sticks (though there are some other nuances)

[hexed parrot]

Oke doke

@jagged hazel i feel like we taking dumb people stuff compared to them 😭

[boreal vine]

hello @trim idol

[trim idol]

If it was doing server tasks and running ECC, then you run slower ram, more stable ram for the increased width on the bus and large transfers.

With gaming, you want faster, because you don't actually need to use gargantuan amounts of ram on a super-wide bus, you want speed

[boreal vine]

How you doin! 😄

[jagged hazel]

Eh it's still a conversation the average person doesn't understand

[trim idol]

Hence 2 channels vs 4

[trim idol]

I'm well! ❤️ How're you?

[boreal vine]

having a rough ass week but we ball, i bought 4 more keyboards

[trim idol]

wow! the addiction is scaling up!

[tidal geyser]

1% lows from what i can see can get a uplift up to 50%

[boreal vine]

indeed indeed

[hexed parrot]

And I’m proudly under average 🫡 mostly cuz I can’t remember shit that’s important

[tidal geyser]

did not really find anything for that cpu but found this

[boreal vine]

Tofu60, Faux Walnut, OwlLabs Tungsten Switches Fr4 Plate
Monsgeek m3
AKC087
Irok87 NA (HE)

[jagged hazel]

Im alright with it all atleast you know what a gpu is

[trim idol]

that's not really conclusive. In one game the fastest config was the second slowest in another.

[trim idol]

ooo the Tofu sounds cool

[boreal vine]

I've got a keycap in mind for it

[hexed parrot]

🫥 hey man grew up with techsourse

[tidal geyser]

well yeah but why would it not be better when you get 2 more sticks that get a entire channel for themselves

[trim idol]

I give up...

You're right. I'll slap in another $50 ram for this $400 pc so that you'll be happy

so that the $400 gaming pc gets 5 more fps in tomb raider

[tidal geyser]

50$?

it only costs me 20

[vivid pendant]

Are there any 480hz 32 inch monitors?

[tidal geyser]

1% lows for some games

[trim idol]

Sure, $20 more

I'm already taking a loss on this system because I have to sell stuff before I move. I'll just take a larger loss so you're happy

[jagged hazel]

Sobbing

[vivid pendant]

I could swing a 32. But are 32-in monitors recommended for competitive gameplay when your sitting in a chair close to them?

I would think 24-27 is the sweet spot

[tidal geyser]

wait 400 for a xeon on par with a r5 3600 and rx 6600

[trim idol]

yes

[tidal geyser]

o well i will just chuck it up to the Norway market being good

[jagged hazel]

They do make 31.5" 480 hz monitors

[boreal vine]

Idk which caps to put

[vivid pendant]

Any in 1440p?

[tidal geyser]

na all i said is just like it has 4 channels one of the rare times it has it and not using it

[plush wren]

Hey

[trim idol]

its a brand new 6600, a brand new nvme, a brand new jonsbo case, new fans, new cooler, white PSU

the case, mobo, cpu, and gpu cost $400

[jagged hazel]

Pretty sure most of them are 4k but you could just look them up online. You might could find one

[boreal vine]

it's using some fuck ass 7 u keycap :^)

[vivid pendant]

PC part picker doesn't even show any in that size lol

[trim idol]

I'd find faux walnut caps 😄

[nocturne crater]

I cleaned out the dust filters for my GPU and CPU AIOs, and dropped 10C and 15C respectively in temps

[boreal vine]

walnut on walnut kinda not vibing with me for this build tbh

[tidal geyser]

r5 3600
gtx 1650 super
512GB nvme ssd
16GB ram
basic 1080p display and mouse and keyboard

all this i got for 160 soo it kinda has broken my scale of what truly is a normal deal and what is this kinda deal, the pc also has a 6+2 pin sooo its possible to even add in a 4070 or smn

[nocturne crater]

Daily reminder to regularly dust out your computer, unlike me

[tidal geyser]

no thanks

[plush wren]

How often is regularly

[nocturne crater]

I'm told every 2 months or so is pretty good

[plush wren]

bro whta no

[trim idol]

getting a great deal like that doesn't reset the norm.

Also, the system I'm selling is 50% new components

[plush wren]

real

[tidal geyser]

i do it like every year

[plush wren]

i do it if i have to swap out something but thats also if i can be bothered

[boreal vine]

or have a bottom drawing case and barely worry about it 🤷‍♀️

[glacial kraken]

What music app should I use YouTube or Apple music? Rn I just have my YouTube auto made playlist

[nocturne crater]

It only takes me like 20 minutes at most to properly dust out my PC.

[glacial kraken]

What is better, revance YouTube music or Apple music subscription (have both)

[tidal geyser]

well yeah i did say it does not change the norm anyways i go mostly used to provide the best deal while also being able to test everything so the consumer does not need to in the case something were to actualy be the danger of buying used and broken or tampered with

[nocturne crater]

I use Youtube personally, because I like being able to download lectures on my phone and listen to them add free

[rapid quarry]

I use yt music

[solar moat]

maybe thats 1 reson why cpu temps high on my pc since i have not cleen since i installed my 4790k

[rapid quarry]

Comes free with premium

[glacial kraken]

Any advantage to Apple music?

[tidal geyser]

i hope that was back in 2014

[glacial kraken]

My family has an apple music subscription

Idk if I want my family to know my music tho ngl

[solar moat]

sadly no

[tidal geyser]

dam

[sudden pivot]

Daily? I open the side panel and fire some compressed air every few months

[rapid quarry]

Just use that then. It’s not that deep on what music app to choose

[boreal vine]

it takes me no time to dust mine, when there's no dust

take out the filter, blow it, slap it back on every like 6 months

[grizzled frost]

i have a case with no filters, it gets dusty

[tidal geyser]

so the dust that came from the room you blow out in the room then turn the pc back on?

[grizzled frost]

especially given i have two dogs

[sudden pivot]

Exactly lol

[tidal geyser]

yeah same

[drowsy flame]

I wrote a poem

[tidal geyser]

so you take out the dust then put it back in

[sudden pivot]

It takes a while to get sucked back up though

[grave obsidian]

wow i like discord new theme

[nocturne crater]

I pull my PC out into my garage and hit it with my air compressor

[grizzled frost]

i have a small air purifier in my room but it doesn’t do a whole lot

[tidal geyser]

if i do a deep dusting the computer is going outside

[tidal geyser]

i should get one

[plush wren]

useless

[sudden pivot]

I'd be scared I'd blow off a fan fin lmao

[plush wren]

just open the window

[grave obsidian]

im going to get 1440p 240hz monitor for rtx 3060 pc im a crazy?

[sudden pivot]

How much psi?

[tidal geyser]

funny thing about that

[grizzled frost]

and let in all the pollen?

i like breathing

[tidal geyser]

kinda but not fully

[plush wren]

Where does zawg live

[grizzled frost]

southern US

[grave obsidian]

its good for future

[grizzled frost]

i can barely breathe outside rn cause of all the pollen

[tidal geyser]

Norway but the window i have is very tiny

[plush wren]

ok well then it may not be useless

[grizzled frost]

my allergies are trying to kill me

[plush wren]

im allergic to dust or some shit idk

[tidal geyser]

anyways the dust will still fall inside

[vivid pendant]

Know what looks amazing on an OLED tv.

Anime

[grizzled frost]

i can see the outline of my gpu on my side panel in dust

[tidal geyser]

xd

[vivid pendant]

Avatar would be amazing on this top

[tidal geyser]

a bit of dust always sticks to the glass

[grizzled frost]

good hand wipe does the trick to get rid of the visible dust

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-shocked-mirror-disbelief-gif-7841220

[grizzled frost]

black side panels so it shows really quickly

[plush wren]

Open a window in the room next to yours

[tidal geyser]

mine is just under the desk so i do not care

[tidal geyser]

there is non

[plush wren]

What the heck

[grizzled frost]

i have mine on my desk because i like admiring it

[tidal geyser]

i have a very tiny apartment, one small window i can open and another massive one that i cant

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-turn-around-what-wot-wat-gif-15539383

[jagged hazel]

My pc is in my desk

[tidal geyser]

ama try and show while im at school and not doxing myself

[plush wren]

Imagine

[jagged hazel]

It gets adequate airflow. If I ever get the 9070XT It won't be able to stay in my desk anymore

[plush wren]

[jagged hazel]

Because my pc will be drawing twice as much wattage then

[trim idol]

time to cut holes 😄

[jagged hazel]

And then I'd be worried about temps

[plush wren]

so is that the massive one

bro thats a normal sized window

[jagged hazel]

Well the back and front is already completely open so rn it's fine but under my desk gets a couple degrees warmer

[plush wren]

the first one

[trim idol]

ahh gotcha

[tidal geyser]

yeah that is the window i can open

[plush wren]

yeah thats perfect

[jagged hazel]

Not the art of war /hj

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-good-grief-gif-26931733

[tidal geyser]

for letting the dust in yea

[plush wren]

How does one spawn in dust

[tidal geyser]

i have a air heat exchanger meaning there is negativ pressure in there

aka it will draw in dust

[jagged hazel]

One creates dust themselves

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/eating-ramen-noodles-chopsticks-bowl-dinner-time-gif-14875828643102595359

The fact of others people's dust being released in my house is scary

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/pharaoh-pharaoh-cat-desert-desert-cat-gif-10548910188582493426

[grizzled frost]

[tidal geyser]

[grizzled frost]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[plush wren]

59c great

[sleek ibex]

[random gyro]

i would have to split it to two six pins

[tidal geyser]

no

[random gyro]

like the xbox one s

[plush wren]

looks fire tbh

[limpid kernel]

is a 240mm LE520 Liquid Cooler fine for a Ryzen 5 9600X? i've not found anything online about it

[dense oasis]

https://youtube.com/shorts/jReyYHliO6g?feature=share

[dense oasis]

thats fine

[sleek ibex]

AM5 takes zero effort to cool anyway

[limpid kernel]

alright, thanks

[tidal geyser]

go for air cooling

[limpid kernel]

the LE520 is cheaper than the air cooler i'd get 💀

[tidal geyser]

price?

[grizzled frost]

how NVIDIA makes money: sell lots of gpus to enterprise clients, sell what’s leftover to broke gamers

[tidal geyser]

if you say you wanted a noctua cooler out the window you go

[limpid kernel]

$94 AUD for the liquid cooler, $110 for the air cooler (DeepCool AK620)

both on sale rn

[tidal geyser]

why only deep cool

[limpid kernel]

it appeared as if it would look good in my build

[tidal geyser]

had a look at the id cooling a620 or thermalright phantom spirit 120 se or perless assasin 120 se

[limpid kernel]

idk about the a620 but neither of those other two are sold at JW

[jagged hazel]

I have a uh liquid freezer 3

[tidal geyser]

one of the best coolers you can get for am5

[limpid kernel]

yeah the a620 isn't at JW either

[jagged hazel]

Its way overkill but it's hard to put on am5

Some people have trouble with installing it

[tidal geyser]

only possible to use one store?

i know product over brand but man i would not go deepcool for aio

[dusky crest]

Is dis good?

[tidal geyser]

not really

its sold out

[dusky crest]

Shit, didn't notice

[limpid kernel]

i'm glad i'll be paying someone else $59 to get the liquid cooler and everything set up lmao

[tidal geyser]

what my deepcool AIO did

[limpid kernel]

really? i've been told they're pretty reliable

[jagged hazel]

I like my liquid freezer

[tidal geyser]

aqua would say prusa or nothing but i would have a look at the bambu lab printers, mine has worked without fail
