Get the 3080 if you can find one for a decent price. Or a 4070 variant

[gleaming timber]

i’d get something that’s good enough for 1080p but then my 1440p monitor is goin to waste

[gleaming timber]

what would u say is a good price for them

others have recommended 6700/6800xt for 1440p as well

[cunning escarp]

Whats a good ryzen cpu that comes with thermal paste and a cpu cooler?

[trim idol]

https://www.newegg.com/sparkle-intel-arc-b580-titan-oc-12gb-gddr6/p/N82E16814993013R

Might be an option, a B580 for $299

[sinful cobalt]

5600

[cunning escarp]

i love how the r5 5600X is 60$ more exipensive than rthe r7 5800XT

5600T works?

[sinful cobalt]

i mean non X

[sinful cobalt]

any variation of the 5600 and X version sucks shit

[cunning escarp]

oh ok lemme see how much it is

[gleaming timber]

would this gpu pair well with a 5700x for 1440?

[sinful cobalt]

in tdy’s market ofc

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[trim idol]

its a decent 1440p card, yeah

Not as good as a 4070, but also way cheaper

[cunning escarp]

how much worse is the r5 5600 than the r7 5800XT

[drowsy flame]

Right now for Nvidia GPU’s that are good for 1440p that aren’t 50 series because those don’t exist:

3080 - $350
4070 - $500
4070 super - $500
4070 ti - $600
4070 ti super - $700

[mellow cairn]

What?

[gleaming timber]

3080 vs b580 what’s the better choice? that’s probably what i’ll go with

[sinful cobalt]

here we go again

[drowsy flame]

B580 probably

[trim idol]

3080 will beat a B580

[drowsy flame]

Really?

[sinful cobalt]

simply put, unless u can get a good price anything other than the standard 5600 and X version is not worth

[trim idol]

B580 is around 4060Ti / 3070 at best

[drowsy flame]

I bet it depends how much vram the 3080 has

The 10gb 3080’s are trash. Get the 12gb

[frosty oriole]

Truly peak UI design.

[solar moat]

way worse with lower end cpu

[cunning escarp]

@sinful cobalt how much worse is the r5 5600 than the r7 5800XT

[sinful cobalt]

the market is filled with 10gb at least for me lol

[mellow cairn]

You are not using enough words to make sense

[solar moat]

not much

[trim idol]

Thats a good point, for 1440p the 12GB on the B580 is better

[drowsy flame]

Yeah that’s unfortunate

[cunning escarp]

ight ty

[sinful cobalt]

just compare the normal 5800x to the 5600

[mellow cairn]

Yeah because 10gb isn't quite enough

[frosty oriole]

Ye. Here's how my adventure went, if you're interested.
https://linustechtips.com/topic/1606882-i-got-novideod-today-nvidia-driver-572xx-blackscreen-bug-affects-20-series-gpus-as-well/

[drowsy flame]

If you do get a 3080 make sure you check for the 12gb model to see if they’re available at all. If not then I guess you could settle but the 12gb is a lot better than the 10gb

[cunning escarp]

ok the 5600 comes with cooler and thermal paste right

[gleaming timber]

tbh i might stick with the b580 because it’s affordable and available directly from newegg and not a third party

[sinful cobalt]

standard 5600 yes

[solar moat]

in things like games its only realy the 4.45ghz vs 4.75ghz

[gleaming timber]

unless i can find a 4k series card

[cunning escarp]

ight good

[drowsy flame]

Using stock coolers is cringe though, pay the $30 to get a thermal right peerless assassin

[sinful cobalt]

anything below a 4070 is not worth instead of the b580

[cunning escarp]

im on a tight budget

[gleaming timber]

that’s what i have and it looks sick, but i think i installed the fans in the wrong orientation lol

[cunning escarp]

hell im above budget rn

[mellow cairn]

5800x is discontinued

WTF are you talking about

[gleaming timber]

what’s ur budget?

[sinful cobalt]

discontinued but what if they have a store that still has supply?

[drowsy flame]

You could use the stock cooler temporarily but I’d get the Peerless Assassin for $30 as soon as you have more money

[sinful cobalt]

ur mindset is way different than mine

[cunning escarp]

800$ for pc and monitor 😭💔

[frosty oriole]

They're fine, especially AMD's. Used the stock cooler on my Grandma's 2200G system and it's been good.

[drowsy flame]

You want my honest answer?

You’re not gonna like it.

[mellow cairn]

..... What the fuck? It was discontinued ages ago. The 5700x is the same thing cheaper.

[cunning escarp]

ur gonna say not to build a pc

chatgpt says the r7 5800XT isnt a thing

[sinful cobalt]

Whats ur problem? I told him to basically compare the 5800X to the 5600 performance wise because theres no realistic benhmark for these 5000 XT cpus

[manic needle]

6700xt or 7600xt

[frosty oriole]

ChatGPT also says my Chevy is a Subaru and has a turbo from Mitsubishi.

[solar moat]

its just down to single core clocks in games

[sinful cobalt]

each 5000 XT is like 5% better than its original

[solar moat]

since all vemmear single ccd cpus have same l3

[rocky shuttle]

I hate that this exists, same with 4060ti (but no one should buy this one anyway)

The name is "3080" 10 or 12? Guess.

[drowsy flame]

My honest answer for people trying to build a pc on a budget right now: ||buy a PlayStation 5 or Xbox series x and a decent monitor keyboard and mouse so when you can build a pc you already have everything ready to go||

[cunning escarp]

i didnt check i just found it on newegg

[junior valve]

stock coolers are fine for most people

[manic needle]

6700xt or 7600xt?

[frosty oriole]

Why buy a mouse and keyboard for a console?

[rocky shuttle]

6700xt

[cunning escarp]

do i show u my build

[sinful cobalt]

“keyboard and mouse”
for console -_-

[cunning escarp]

or like hopefuly my build

[drowsy flame]

Because some games support it, that way they can practice playing with a keyboard and mouse for when they fully switch to pc.

[gleaming timber]

how many watts should my psu be for a 5700x and B580?

[mellow cairn]

Computers are shit, nobody needs them

[drowsy flame]

Like 600w

[frosty oriole]

What if they mainly play racing games and platformers?

[mellow cairn]

750 is a nice safe midpoint that will last you many years.

[drowsy flame]

Then get a racing wheel or a retro gamepad

[gleaming timber]

i will do that thanks

[trim idol]

1600W or nothing! Rawr!!

[drowsy flame]

Did I go overkill on my power supply? I have a Corsair RM850x for a 12700f and a 4070ti super

[junior valve]

get a 1200 psu that can last 15 years

[grizzled frost]

a little, but not a big deal

[gleaming timber]

i’m glad i didn’t get rgb memory my cooler blocks every stick

[frosty oriole]

A decent racing wheel costs as much as a console, and it isn't recommended to just strap one to your desk. The included controllers are good enough for most people, so they shouldn't have to buy another one.

[junior valve]

underkill, atleast 1kw

[sinful cobalt]

Getting a racing setup is basically gonna cost them another PS5 unless we’re just talking wheel and pedals, no clutch and H pattern shifter

[mellow cairn]

... It doesn't really work like that

[true stirrup]

You have a lot of headroom now

[grizzled frost]

i’m running a 4080S and 7800x3d on a 750w psu

[cunning escarp]

@drowsy flame thats my build i am above budget but like idc anymore

[junior valve]

over 10 years old hx1200i in there

[sinful cobalt]

it doesnt work like that chief

[drowsy flame]

Headroom is good

[sinful cobalt]

the atx standard changes

[mellow cairn]

That... Doesn't mean anything

[manic needle]

3070 or 6700xt?

[frosty oriole]

Wattage doesn't equate to lifespan is what he's trying to say.

[true stirrup]

[drowsy flame]

How much is a thermalright peerless assassin where you are?

[sinful cobalt]

some guy’s like 10 year old PSU 8pins blew up while connected to the 12vhpwr adapter so yea

[mellow cairn]

750 is sufficient for all normal sane PC builds.

[cunning escarp]

lemme check

[mellow cairn]

850 covers a bit more

[junior valve]

how sane

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/a-cat-gif-27633836

[grizzled frost]

750 is sufficient for essentially all builds

[drowsy flame]

My sane pc build with 4 3090’s 🙂

[mellow cairn]

,.. ones you can afford.

[grizzled frost]

i’ve seen people run a 14900k and 4090 on a 750w just fine

[junior valve]

how much is “can afford”

[sinful cobalt]

assuming ur not going to a 90 class gpu and doing extreme OC thats considered sane

[drowsy flame]

I wouldn’t wanna try that but I wouldn’t be surprised if it ran fine with an 850w

[mellow cairn]

..... You're running a 10 year old power supply, I think that's obvious

[gleaming timber]

i think i’m goin to get this one, just wish it wasn’t blue 💔

unless u guys think paying an extra $50 for a different one is worth it

[frosty oriole]

My 850W will be safe for me to shunt mod my GPU and have it pull 570W while my CPU is also under load, pulling 220W.

So if you're doing anything less than that, you should be fine with a 750W.

[plush wren]

the price diff between 750 and 850 is small, no?

[cunning escarp]

@drowsy flame not on newegg

[sinful cobalt]

my friend uses a 4080 that eats like 360w or smth and his 13900K eats like 400w according to him
he has 850w

[drowsy flame]

Try Amazon

[manic needle]

what website is that

[grizzled frost]

usually it’s mostly a 12v rail increase, which is what matters the most

[junior valve]

my pc pulls 500w in minecraft

[cunning escarp]

i dont wanna pay 60$ shipping for a 30$ cpu cooler but ok

[plush wren]

[drowsy flame]

Is that how much Amazon shipping costs there?

[frosty oriole]

My Steam Deck only uses 1% of that, lol.

[true stirrup]

Mine but it basically shows the performance on Tom's Hardware, TechPowerUp (relative to a 5090) and TimeSpy

[mellow cairn]

Any poe cameras with frigate

[cunning escarp]

@drowsy flame 35$ for the cpu cooler

[manic needle]

thank u

[junior valve]

my rgb already took up like 100w

[cunning escarp]

i wanna stick to newegg cuz everything will arrive at the same time and free shipping

[grizzled frost]

wtf

[sinful cobalt]

I should calculate what my PC can eat max

[cunning escarp]

ur rgb is scamming u

[sinful cobalt]

[trim idol]

I really don't want to have to run a poe line outside

[mellow cairn]

Lol. I actually have 100W of RGB though

[trim idol]

but I suppose I could

[cunning escarp]

is the ryzen 7 5800XT a real thing?

[mellow cairn]

..... You're going to have to run something

[trim idol]

batteriessssss

[mellow cairn]

Oh, you want a trail cam

Yeah I know nothing about any of that

[trim idol]

hmmm... trail cam could work. I'll see what options are out there

[junior valve]

almost 500w

[sinful cobalt]

how are yall having rgb that eats 100w itself

[frosty oriole]

How? That's a lot of heat from lights alone.

[latent gull]

The third one is directed by jj Abram’s

[sinful cobalt]

dawg everything except my cpu and gpu is like 154w

[latent gull]

Considering it’s not meant to be picked up, yes

[simple parrot]

hey i just got win 11 cus of the security thing nd i was wondering if there is anything other than fixing the context menu i should do

i noticed there is a game bar thing (idk if it was in 10 but i noticed it now) nd should i turn that on

[cunning escarp]

i wanna quit this shit

[latent pasture]

that was on win10 and its just as useless

[cunning escarp]

@sinful cobalt should i just get a console

[plush wren]

why do bluds leave their car outside their home

[sinful cobalt]

if u just wanna get a console and be done then yea sure

[cunning escarp]

i want a pc but the more i look into it the more impossible it looks to convince my dad

[sinful cobalt]

Whats the problem abt

[cunning escarp]

like 1st of all my budget was 800$ ish to try to convince my dad to get it (he is paying)

[sinful cobalt]

I can give u some ideas to make an entire powerpoint presentation if yw

[cunning escarp]

now im at 1021.71$

[sinful cobalt]

show ur build

[cunning escarp]

ok

still need mouse and keyboard

then i still need to find a store to build the pc for me which is like another 50$

[sinful cobalt]

try to get a rx6600 or intel arc b580 for ur gpu if they are cheaper

also for ur mobo and case try to downgrade to matx

[latent pasture]

whats the price of 5700x
or 5600 no letter/t/x/xt

[sinful cobalt]

for ur nzxt cpu cooler change it and find smth cheaper from thermalright

[sinful cobalt]

apparently for him the 5800xt is same price as a 5600

[cunning escarp]

they more exipensive for some reason

[latent pasture]

what website is this

[cunning escarp]

i did find this for my budget

[cunning escarp]

newegg

but the psu ram and ssd are just wow

[sinful cobalt]

that isnt bad actually

but ofc some parts like the mobo will be questionable

[cunning escarp]

ye but the ram espicially

[latent pasture]

what price is this vs what u posted earlier

[sinful cobalt]

lowk u can also go with the changes i suggested and 16gb ram as well

[cunning escarp]

this is around 750$ the other one is like 1021$ ish

[sinful cobalt]

just add more ram later on

[cunning escarp]

fair but then like i dont want an intel cpu i heard they bend

[latent pasture]

yeh lmfao its about just as good
the 1k build is out

[graceful meadow]

So i got a b460h6-em motherboard and would like to boot from the partition i shrinked from my main ssd, but i cant find any option for it, how can i do that? i would like to get dual boot.

[sinful cobalt]

i mean for ur original build

the prebuilt is quite good specwise

the 12th gen doesnt rly have issues

[cunning escarp]

i see

so i should get the prebuilt

[sinful cobalt]

if u wanna just get it over with then yes

[cunning escarp]

btw this is how it looks

[cunning escarp]

ight tysm

[mortal mantle]

okay now AMD's driver is right

[sinful cobalt]

the warranty is covered by them so just go to them if theres any issues

bcs if u build urself u have to troubleshoot everything urself lol

[mortal mantle]

had my OC too high

[cunning escarp]

i found this rlly cool build but its way over budget and im so sad 💔

look at how cool this is

[mellow cairn]

What the fuck? Should I put it outside someone else's home?

[jagged hazel]

why is this demo literally bigger than P3R

How many switches can you have inline until you have a problem? Always wondered if you can stack like 1000 switches and some idiot puts in a loop back cable.

[carmine yew]

depends on the switches, networking, and some other things.

But, it can be a lot.

But also, why would you ever need more than even 5 in a row?

(And even 5 is a lot)

[tidal geyser]

Consumer perspektive

[fluid fox]

Just a scketch experiment. Sorta like a USB limitation test.

the sheer stupidity of it, but ye i agree with u

[carmine yew]

if it's distance, it's pointless, as you can get 1KM transceivers for fiber, so you could have 2 switches that are literally over half a mile apart

but that's also so absurdly expensive to run that not even LTT could foot the bill

[cold skiff]

i miss the times where 4 gigs of ddr3 ram was cool...

[arctic kettle]

This is going to be a dogshit GPU just based off of a quick glance at how many power connecters it has.

Do one stand for each OLT port and then head it over to a PON splitter. Gotta make sure not to overdo the split.

[arctic kettle]

Random 2060 from gigabyte moment

[carmine yew]

the 4060 still only uses one 8 pin, so...

[odd marsh]

Perfect device to put in front of a government building

[arctic kettle]

Nah they aint selling a pc with a 4060 for 500

Unless they are doofus mode today

[worthy light]

i mean its the 4060...

[carmine yew]

never said they were, I'm just pointing out the failure of your "one connector" argument

[arctic kettle]

I based that around the listing and the picture

[carmine yew]

which, when the price was better, and the 3060 wasn't readily available, was a fine card.

[cold skiff]

Remember when dual channel didn’t matter and 6gb of ddr2 was a thing?

[arctic kettle]

I used to have 6gb of ram (DDR3 though)

[carmine yew]

I remember having 1MB RAM in my computer, so....

[worthy light]

now this just makes me sad

[cold skiff]

I was that much of a pauper I had 6gb mixed ddr2 on my 1090t setup. Worked like a dream too.

All that just to play CS and WoW tbfh

Pov area 51 raiders show up at my house. They are not breaking an entering, this is a long ranged preemptive strike.

[cold skiff]

Gone are the days when a Cyrix 333mhz would play Half-life. If you told 10 year old me that one day my CPU would be 4ghz+ I’d have shit my pants with excitement to be in my 30s

Now I wish I was 10 again

[fresh escarp]

so i was thinking do onlly specific cases would allow getting a gpu brakced that turns the gpu vertically?

[worthy light]

reason: i was drinking water then yeah...

[arctic tapir]

Probably a stupid question, but can you daisy chain these?

[worthy light]

#tech-chat-1 is NOT a search engine. /j

[carmine yew]

yes, but no you don't want to

[arctic tapir]

I'm wanting to hook up 14 fans, anything better?

[carmine yew]

do you want to burn out your motherboard fan headers?

[arctic kettle]

14

wtf do you need that many for

[fresh escarp]

if the mb isn't ancient, it should be fine

[arctic tapir]

No I'm looking at ones that use sata power also

[carmine yew]

1 amp ain't gonna run 14 fans

[arctic kettle]

Nvm I've seen a #1019713714968088586 post before with more.

[arctic tapir]

480mm radiator, doing push pull, need to rebuild the thing first

[carmine yew]

bigger ones that use SATA Power are fine.

[arctic tapir]

Yeah just wasn't sure what those other ones would do that's all

[carmine yew]

well, they'd run 5 fans, assuming you aren't asking too much from the motherboard

[cold skiff]

This is a mess. A beautiful mess.

[arctic tapir]

Yeah lol it's newer ISH tech in an older huge case

[trim idol]

Doh! I listed this computer as having a 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM, but it has 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM... oops

[arctic tapir]

I'm sure it will be fine for the top fans for the radiator

[random gyro]

DID SOMEONE SAY POE??

[prime lark]

Given Samsung is clearing out all 990 Pro stock, I was thinking of getting a 4TB 990 Pro for all my storage needs (aside from a 2 TB HDD for long-term storage). Should I get the heatsink ver or not? It's a 20 buck difference from what I see

[fresh escarp]

so my dad has this disk and im not so bigbrain with them, its a SanDisk SSD X600 SATA M.2 2280, and i'm thinking or well wanting to get adapter to adapt from PCI Express 2.0 x1 to that disk, ik and probs i wont get hardcore speeds, but otherwise whats yall thoughts?

[carmine yew]

get the heatsink

[carmine yew]

if it's a SATA M.2 SSD, you need a sata adapter to plug it in.

Or get a sata m.2 to 2.5" tray for it.

one of these:

[gloomy sleet]

that’s goofy as hell

[fresh escarp]

so something like this wouldn't be good idea?

[carmine yew]

won't work

[gloomy sleet]

you’d only be able to use 1 m.2 if your using it in an x4 slot

[carmine yew]

incorrect

[gloomy sleet]

there isn’t a sata data port there

[gloomy sleet]

explain

1 nvme uses x4 and there’s 2 slots

[carmine yew]

you don't need 4 lanes to run a M.2
You can use fewer

[gloomy sleet]

oh yeah

you’d be limited to x2 gen 3/4/5 speeds

[carmine yew]

but more accurately here:
Those cards only support NVME.
So a SATA Drive wouldn't work.

[fresh escarp]

It looks like this

[carmine yew]

yes, that's SATA not NVME

[rigid fjord]

hehehehe, link aggregation making a 64gb download take 30 mins instead of 2 hours

[crude blade]

Y’all remember Linus’s all wood pc? How realistic is recreating that, or is it a total waste of money

[fresh escarp]

ouh shit, hm how i'd be able to search for the correct product for this? and i assume the speeds wont be anything higher for example ssd i have ADATA SU700 120GB? 🤔

[rigid fjord]

that one is marked as a sata drive, it would be different if it's an ngff/ngfe drive

[cold skiff]

SATA M.2 drives were a right ripoff

[carmine yew]

https://www.amazon.com/ELUTENG-M-2-NGFF-SATA-Converter/dp/B0BJCYP1ZD

[cold skiff]

Paying extra for similar or same speed just to shove the HD on your mobo. The height of more money than sense

[carmine yew]

Based on what areas of extensive knowledge are you speaking?

[rigid fjord]

on a 60/15 connection as it is

[carmine yew]

do you have anything factual to back this up? or just more bluster?

[rigid fjord]

@gloomy sleet you need to learn how to do this properly and without half hearted bullshit

[cold skiff]

Sorry. Are you telling me that M.2 Sata drives are faster than Sata 3 drives at the time?

Like… a lot faster it was worth paying the extra money to buy one?

[rigid fjord]

they're not, it's the same speed, just as an m.2 format

[carmine yew]

fun fact: Motherboard mountnable sata SSDs existed before M.2 was even an available slot on motherboards.

[cold skiff]

Exactly the point I made rauko

[bronze summit]

Hey Rauko

[rigid fjord]

nope, considering hdd speed even on sata 3 = 150MB/s vs sata ssd of 150-560MB/s

[rigid fjord]

sup

[carmine yew]

so, using a different connector makes it bad?

[gloomy sleet]

do what

[cold skiff]

I didn’t say it made it bad. I said you have more money than sense to have bought it at the time

[bronze summit]

Did a stupid thing

[rigid fjord]

what you do

[bronze summit]

I did a loan for a gaming mouse

Now I'm doing monthly payments for it

[gloomy sleet]

how does one do this

[fresh escarp]

i have another question, if i'd want to get a vertical gpu mount bracket, for the case i have low chances of making it happen right?

[rigid fjord]

that was definitely a dumb moment

[carmine yew]

well, I suppose that's an opinion one is allowed to have.

[rigid fjord]

google it and learn

[gloomy sleet]

mice are like £50 are you paying £3 a month or some shit

[gloomy sleet]

fair enough

[bronze summit]

169 14.50 a month

[gloomy sleet]

how long

[bronze summit]

9

[rigid fjord]

could call it a blonde moment almost @bronze summit

[gloomy sleet]

also what mouse is £170

that just seems a wee bit overpriced

[true stirrup]

an expensive one

[gloomy sleet]

what does a £170 mouse do that most others can’t

[rigid fjord]

a g-pro light most likely

[bronze summit]

Zowie ZA13-DW with interest and taxes

[cold skiff]

Probably has lights and weighs less than 40g?

[bronze summit]

Also it's Us lmao

[rigid fjord]

those go for an easy $100+

[cold skiff]

I can find it for £130

[cold skiff]

And that direct from supplier

[carmine yew]

jesus christ, I would never pay 170 for a gaming mouse like that

[bronze summit]

[cold skiff]

But it’s sports science 4K

That makes it worth £100 more than it’s actually worth

[bronze summit]

You need to work on your sarcasm

[sly epoch]

W specs or nah?

[bronze summit]

You just showed us a CPU

[cold skiff]

Well it’s driverless. Seen as you’ve loaned it out it should make its way back to you on its own.

[bronze dagger]

Can anybody help me undervolt my laptop

[gloomy sleet]

why 3 drives?

[bronze summit]

Bomba

[fresh escarp]

i agree

[rigid fjord]

@gloomy sleet

[sly epoch]

cuz I can

[rigid fjord]

link aggregation, fuck yeah

[rigid fjord]

ptff, newbie numbers

[sly epoch]

When does how many drives I have matter?

[rigid fjord]

might get myself another 2 port 2.5gb ethernet card

[sly epoch]

storage is storage

[rigid fjord]

hehehehe

[trim idol]

thems some drives

[fresh escarp]

what's your thoughts about this?

[cold skiff]

It’s cheap

[sly epoch]

what a mess

[carmine yew]

probably fine

[rigid fjord]

nope, it's actually organised

[plush wren]

bro has a specific drive for ea/epic games

[carmine yew]

one time I had my PC fully utilized with physical drives from A to Z

[rigid fjord]

free games be free

[plush wren]

blud is never bored

[rigid fjord]

i'd love to see that

[gloomy sleet]

damn

might try this later

[carmine yew]

(I was cheating, it included a pile of USB Drives, but it was still discrete physical drives)

[fresh escarp]

much appriciated, tho ihave another question as you seem helpful alot, but related to vertical brakcets for the cases, i wonder if ( i ordered a new case today) the DarkFlash DS900, but i assume it isn't so easy to find something like that for this case for example? 😔

[rigid fjord]

i need a 4tb ssd for steam so i can turn the 2tb steam ssd into a drive specific for gog/ubisoft and then have microsoft ones on it also

[carmine yew]

are you willing to cut up your case a little?

[plush wren]

[rigid fjord]

like i've said before, any internet issue's you have had, is definitely a you thing not an isp thing

[fresh escarp]

oh nono, just wondered if there's a product that somehow can achieve something

[gloomy sleet]

main issue is that it’s just slow af

and incredibly inconsistent

[carmine yew]

yes and no.
If you look, your case has bars that go between the PCIE Slots.

That means plugging in cables ain't gonna work too well.

[rigid fjord]

nope, remember i have the same connection speed as you and no issues, it's definitely a you issue

[gloomy sleet]

there’s nothing wrong with how i’ve set it up

[fresh escarp]

yep true, bit F, but thank u for helping tho

[rigid fjord]

there clearly is, if there's speed and connectivity issues

[carmine yew]

https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-MasterAccessory-Vertical-Graphics/dp/B0B72D88KL
If you cut some of those off (it's easy enough to do) you can use one of these

[fresh escarp]

ou ill save that somewhere, incase in future i wanna change this up

[rigid fjord]

personally i prefer the ez-fab diy one of these

[plush wren]

[carmine yew]

CM is sturdier and more adjustable

[fresh escarp]

how large does 300x700x2mm mousepad would look irl hm

[carmine yew]

it'd be 300mm x 700mm

[grizzled frost]

about 300x700x2mm

[carmine yew]

or holds up hands about that big

or roughly 1/3 the length/width of a 1M x 2M deskpad

[fresh escarp]

i kinda realized it was a dumb question, too tired today lmao

[rigid fjord]

tbf dude, the ezdiy-fab ones would surprise you, and can be way more sturdier than cm ones depending on the one you get

[dim reef]

anyone got recommendations for cpu coolers with nice rgb? Was looking at the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III and nzxt kraken elite, any thoughts?

[carmine yew]

the ones that look sturdier are mroe expensive than CM.

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXN2WSNZ
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BX96SJLT

[carmine yew]

yeah, those cost more than the CM.
and fit in fewer cases

[sleek ibex]

Q: How much m.2 do you want?
A: Yes.

[carmine yew]

mmmmmm NVME good ness

[rigid fjord]

sadly their really cheap one (which is really surprisingly sturdy) shows up as not being available any more

[rigid fjord]

msi carbon?

[carmine yew]

This is a super cool feature of the CM:
It'll fit into a matx case with very few PCIE slots:

[sleek ibex]

Asrock Phantom Gaming Nova Wifi

[tidal geyser]

you still have 2 more slots

[carmine yew]

or 5 lol

[tidal geyser]

on the board itself

[sleek ibex]

One more actually if I felt like adding in the m.2 card that has four slot lol

[tidal geyser]

the x4 to x1 to 4 m.2 ssd

[rigid fjord]

the one i was thinking of tbh

i has the non-rgb/argb one

[carmine yew]

looks pretty good

[rigid fjord]

with the case i use, i don't even block the pcie slots themself

[gleaming timber]

oops

is the extra $50 worth it at all or should i get the open box i’m only considering the other ones cus they’re black

[teal sinew]

they will perform the same, but if you want to pay $50 to get a card that is new and looks nicer then that's valid

[distant frigate]

Interesting. Never knew this

[gleaming timber]

i’m assuming the 3 fan is a better choice than the 2 fan?

is the 6600xt any good

[tidal geyser]

i have one

[rigid fjord]

points towards secondary and tertiary harmonics which is known about by those that do amateur radio dude

[rigid fjord]

not really no

[rigid fjord]

they are but you don't need a 3 fan version

[gleaming timber]

probably a dumb question but fans go from back to front right or does it depend

cus i think my cooler fans are blowing towards the intake lol but im not 100%

[rigid fjord]

on standard fans it's like this

[gleaming timber]

i have to check when i get home

[strange atlas]

Thank youu

[rigid fjord]

just so you can tell the difference in looks between a reverse blade and standard bladed fan

[gleaming timber]

i have the peerless assassin so i think they’re just regular blade

[gleaming timber]

with the included fans*

[rigid fjord]

yup standard bladed fans

[latent pasture]

meanwhile the shit im buying

[grizzled frost]

ew

[plush wren]

Why ew

[grizzled frost]

much heavy

[latent pasture]

i have a wired one and ive started moving around more so its getting inconvenient

[plush wren]

[grizzled frost]

heavy mouse bad

[plush wren]

No

[gloomy sleet]

[grizzled frost]

Yes

[plush wren]

Nope

my mouse is heavy for a very good reason

[plush wren]

I used 100g mice not that heavy but still

what grip do yall use on your mouse

[gloomy sleet]

10g mouse

[grizzled frost]

(evolutionary advantage for tech nerds*

[grizzled frost]

whatever the normal resting hand ontop one is

[plush wren]

for me it depends kinda

[gloomy sleet]

i have an m913 theres only one position

[plush wren]

sometimes i do fingertip sometimes claw and sometimes palm

[plush wren]

[gloomy sleet]

look at this mf

theres only one option

[plush wren]

i use mostly fingertip in games tho i think

chonky mouse

[grizzled frost]

yeah sometimes i’ll fingertip grip

[gloomy sleet]

its perfect for my hands

[grizzled frost]

really just depends on how i’m feeling

[plush wren]

real

i try fingertip and claw on aim trainers and just use whatever feels better

just to change it later anyways

[dapper light]

Dam, someone bought my old gpu without even negotiating. Inconceivable.

[grizzled frost]

i do half claw with controller

[plush wren]

love those types of people

[grizzled frost]

left hand standard grip, right hand claw

on a PS5 controller

mostly for playing elden ring

[gloomy sleet]

i use joystick grip

[dapper light]

Anyone have these VIVO monitor stands? Are they good? Got a GREAT offer on them atm (been following a while) and I would do 2x Single arm. Reddit has only praise for them especially value-wise ...

[rigid fjord]

because you're being petulantly impatient

[grizzled frost]

i don’t mind it

[nimble glade]

the non-pneumatic ones that is ... also, are penumatics worth it if I don't move them (espeically vertically)

[grizzled frost]

nice for small adjustments, but otherwise kinda pointless

[gloomy sleet]

have you waited

[plush wren]

well ig i didnt get used to it or im doing it wrong i literally can barely move my finger lmao

[nimble glade]

also, advice -- is it better to get a dual mount to mount 2x27" or 2xsingle?

[fallow seal]

9 hours

[rigid fjord]

if you mean the gas strut ones. they can be more effective especially when it comes to holding up a monitor

[grizzled frost]

do you have two different monitors or two of the same monitor

[nimble glade]

2 different ones

IPS and OLED

[grizzled frost]

then it’s better to get 2 singles for the tube based ones

sometimes the vesa mount is placed differently so it can be a bit offset

[nimble glade]

LG GP750-B and and the ASUS XG27AQDMG

[gloomy sleet]

be patient

[rigid fjord]

oh the irony

[gloomy sleet]

what

[nimble glade]

cool, its essentially the same price

[nimble glade]

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619g4qTg+AL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

it would hold an LG GP750-B and an ASUS XG27AQDMG

@elder quarry Just refurbed an old laptop:D

now to get an ssd for it

[elder quarry]

Ow

[elder quarry]

My eyes

[nimble glade]

it's this HUANUO stand everyone praises ...

[graceful girder]

[rigid fjord]

this will work, just if you're using 2 separate models, then you may want 2 separate mount's in general

[nimble glade]

they SHOULD work tho since they're 2 27s and not 2 32s, right?

[rigid fjord]

if it's a sata 2.5 ssd, then i suggest getting a decent one like a crucial mx500

[nimble glade]

as in they should be able to align properly

[graceful girder]

a bit pricey😭

[rigid fjord]

yeah, it'll work just alignment of the screens due to their bezels might initially look not right aesthetically

[sinful cobalt]

should i just cope and get a intel cpu laptop or continue finding a 7000 series cpu laptop that has my wants

[nimble glade]

yea, but shouldnt it be easier to adjust since the stand is pneumatic/gas-strut/whatever

[rigid fjord]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B27_j9NDPU3cNlj2HKcrfpJKHkOf-Oi1DbuuQva2gT4/edit?pli=1&gid=0#gid=0 which is why you check a list like this respectively

[rigid fjord]

what you plan on doing with the laptop?

[graceful girder]

thank u

[sinful cobalt]

pretty basic shit tbh and light gaming like maybe valorant

not getting a dgpu

i found one by dell, with 120hz and 16gb of ram but for some reason, it uses DDR4 for the 16gb

[carmine yew]

What are you expecting for support?
What are you paying to get support here?

[nimble glade]

also, there's a variation of the stand with a pole -- would this be better/more adjustable?

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610zP0i5QEL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

[rigid fjord]

so basically, a 7640/7840u laptop for the 7000 series or an 8640/8840u laptop from 8000 series then which can sometimes cost more than getting their 'hs' equivalent versions with a dgpu added

[nimble glade]

to make them align

[sinful cobalt]

sadly 8000 series doesnt exist here in sgp

[bronze jay]

I just look at the way the blades are shaped

You can see which way they would have to spin to make sense

[rigid fjord]

if you're going with this style, then tbh if the designs of the screen layout are similar, this would keep them level together

[rugged sand]

Aren't wall mounts typically better?

[rigid fjord]

not all can tell the correct way

[bronze jay]

They scoop

[nimble glade]

the LG bottom bezel is bigger, top is more or less the same

[bronze jay]

Air is pushed away from the concave side not pulled

[rigid fjord]

depends on location and if a desk is ever moved about or one of those sit/stand desks

[nimble glade]

the 2 monitors

the ASUS has more of a bump, while the LG is full on chin

the top and side bezels are more or less the same

[rigid fjord]

i'd go with either this or 2 separate ones like this

[wheat torrent]

those look heavy duty

[rigid fjord]

some are, some not so much

[gloomy sleet]

i was consdiering one of these

no grommet mount though

[rigid fjord]

depends on what monitors you're using them with tbh @wheat torrent

[rigid fjord]

a drill changes that

[gloomy sleet]

it doesnt have any way to mount it with a grommet mount

[rigid fjord]

it does, you're either to blind to notice, or are about as imaginative as a single celled amoeba

[gloomy sleet]

where?

also insults arent necessary

[nimble glade]

I'll just get the double ... Ergotron is definitely a better choice -- and 5x the price

[rigid fjord]

i see 2 channels per arm for each screen, as this one is specifically showing with it's current mounting so the cable can go behind a desk, the moment you use grommets with mounts designed the same way, you end up needing to drill into the desk still

[gloomy sleet]

that platform that their mounted to doesnt look like one with threaded holes for a grommet mounting stick thing

if it does somehow have those threaded holes just drill a hole under neath them take the metal caps off the clamp and the clamp its self

[rigid fjord]

you do realise if i look deeper into it, it will most likely have mounts for pasing through the desk also

[gloomy sleet]

maybe

[gleaming timber]

is there a difference in thermals between the 3 fan and 2 fan?

[gloomy sleet]

i know some which dont

[gloomy sleet]

not enough to matter

[gleaming timber]

alr i’ll probably get the 3 fan just cus it’ll get here tomorrow lol

[gloomy sleet]

its a b580 a stray gust of air will keep it sub 80c

[rigid fjord]

none, the 3rd fan is useless for it

[gleaming timber]

[raven sluice]

looking for a space heater?

[rigid fjord]

same mounts, different pics

[gloomy sleet]

ohhhh its using one in the middle

that does make sense

[rigid fjord]

which 99% do

[gloomy sleet]

do they?

ive never seen that before

[gleaming timber]

does the b580 get hot

[plain cypress]

Not really

[rigid fjord]

it's not a 3090, so no

[plain cypress]

It's rather low power so even the cheaper coolers get the job done

[gleaming timber]

so the B580 is a good budget choice for light 1440p gaming

i’m about to buy it

[rigid fjord]

great alternative to a 7700xt

[gleaming timber]

650w or 750w for 5700x b580?

[gloomy sleet]

depends what you mean by light

[gloomy sleet]

650w is more then enough

750w is usually around the same price though

[gleaming timber]

any recommendations for good inexpensive PSUs? not too sure what all the 80+ ratings mean tbh

[gloomy sleet]

80+ is efficiency

meaning dont worry about it in the slightest really

[sinful cobalt]

ok fk this shit im not gonna get a laptop

[rigid fjord]

as long as it's a decent one, either wattage psu will do

[sinful cobalt]

literal 0 models that have exactly what i want

[gloomy sleet]

wild nothing meets the very specific criteria you have?

[sinful cobalt]

yep

anything with a good refresh rate at like 120hz is a gaming laptop

[gloomy sleet]

ehhh

[rigid fjord]

as a single mount instead of dual mounting them

[gloomy sleet]

ive seen 120hz laptops without Dgpus lol

[gloomy sleet]

yeah obviously that only has one

ive never seen a dual mount with 1 grommet

[woven wigeon]

there are also 1440 p with no dgpus

[sinful cobalt]

my requirments are
7000/8000 series cpus
16GB ram
120hz

[rigid fjord]

dual mount ones for desk's follow the same principles

[sinful cobalt]

but ffs i cant find one

all that meet the cpu and ram req are 60hz

[gloomy sleet]

the 7000/8000 doesnt matter

that isnt the generation number

[woven wigeon]

gtx 1080 should be better than most integrated grapfics

[rigid fjord]

it does due to the dgpu

almost

[woven wigeon]

i said most

[sinful cobalt]

the best igpu rn is matching a 1060 unless u wanna include the strix hali which is unrealistically expensive

[woven wigeon]

i agree

[gloomy sleet]

2nd and 3rd character is what really matters

[rigid fjord]

gtx 1650/ 1060 (3gb)

[sinful cobalt]

im just gonna search laptop on my marketplace and pray i can find one lmao

[woven wigeon]

thats like 50 bucks

(cheaper if used )

[sinful cobalt]

nvm bad decision to do that

its a wholotta shitboxes

[woven wigeon]

yeah

and good luck trying to get drivers

[sinful cobalt]

ok so theres 1 laptop that suits my requirements but its by dell

inspiron 15

[rigid fjord]

this could be viable, and it's in sgd, they have some you can configure, the 680m is decent enough

[woven wigeon]

based on software its better than my lenovo loq gaming laptop

[sinful cobalt]

Its cutting too close in price to a dgpu laptop that has 120hz+

[woven wigeon]

i had to installl it myself

[fresh escarp]

i'm back, so goal was to reorder new rgb controller for my case fans as current one is dead ina sense that rgb aint working, i scrolling trough thought ill get a new keyboard, so i got this one, ik its not like ur high end, but how i viewed it, it should do better than what i have some scorpion full sized keyboard with only 3 colors and non-mech:

[wispy thunder]

you're giving advice on a product you've never seen before?

that's wild

All huanuo mounts use three screws to swap mounting style plate

[woven wigeon]

thats worse then getting paid to promote it

[nimble glade]

oh god what did I start here

bought the dual stand btw.

[bronze summit]

@serene pumice you reacted to a message

You better have a good damn reason to react to that one specifically

[wispy thunder]

the one with the pole or no?

(Pole > non pole)

[nimble glade]

no, got the non-pole one (it was more expensive too)

[wispy thunder]

...why..

[nimble glade]

by a tiny bit

[serene pumice]

Haha wtf

[wispy thunder]

pole is just better

there's no reason not to get the nonpole

[nimble glade]

will pole one make it easier to align them?

[gleaming timber]

are these all fine?

[nimble glade]

I mean, I can still change, it didnt ship ..

[serene pumice]

How can you notice months old reaction to messages? Sounds like against tos.

[nimble glade]

you mean no reason " ... not to get the pole one."?

[wispy thunder]

my brain broke for a sec

there's no reason not to get the pole one

[nimble glade]

I got the one WITHOUT the pole

[bronze summit]

I'm using base discord and you reacted to the message recently

[carmine yew]

discord probably sent a notification

[nimble glade]

I mean, as I said, I can still change

[bronze summit]

Pretty weird of you to do that

[nimble glade]

if it means its easier to align the 2 monitors

[carmine yew]

I don't always get notifications, but sometimes discord does send me those

[wispy thunder]

you have greater height adjustment potential, the horizontal arms hidden behind the monitor mean that there's actually more usable space underneath the monitor

[serene pumice]

Must be a new thing
never ever gotten a notification for reactions to messages?

[carmine yew]

occasionally yeah

[nimble glade]

as I said I can still change, especially if it makes it easier to align the 2 different monitors

it didn't ship yet

[rigid fjord]

that's the thing i did warn you about no?

[nimble glade]

and the pole one is slightly cheaper

[wispy thunder]

yeah I'd say save the two bucks too and get the pole version lmao

[serene pumice]

I was just reading about Adamant father syndrome btw, & was just generally searching on discussions of the subject

[sinful cobalt]

nvm Im just gonna cut back on the 120hz

[bronze summit]

DNI

[wispy thunder]

ya go for it

I had both, I regret buying a nonpole version

[shy schooner]

im scared to plug this old tv into the outlet im scared itll like explode or something i want to see if it works

[rigid fjord]

mostly, but that RMe is not the same as an RMx model of the same wattage

[serene pumice]

Turned of ping now, you can just have DND(do not disturb) on btw

[nimble glade]

and the pole one comes tomorrow as well, its probably available in my city

the non-pole on Sat

you had the huanuo stands as well, btw?

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CIp9zKpxL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

what is this one tho??

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-27111796

[nimble glade]

huanuo as well and even cheaper (same weight ratings and size)

[wispy thunder]

Yeah Huanuo

tho that's a newer version that I didn't have I think?

[last knot]

ah yes, includes a single stand-off

[nimble glade]

both are huanuo, seem to be same spec and this one is cheaper

[gleaming timber]

yea idk what psu to get

[nimble glade]

this seems to have cable mgm

[random gyro]

Why does my video/audio randomly pause on phone?

[nimble glade]

here they are both

[rigid fjord]

[random gyro]

This started happening after I resetted my phone

[wispy thunder]

had this

[nimble glade]

$88???

holy shit NA is expensive ...

[wispy thunder]

and this

[wispy thunder]

no it's Canadian pricing

[nimble glade]

still

[wispy thunder]

CAD is worth like nothing

[nimble glade]

mine are €48 and €36

[gleaming timber]

are there any monitor stands that u guys know off that i can just set on my desk vs a mount cus the stand that came with my monitor takes up way too much space

[rigid fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zfGhP6/ price wise, i'd grab this

[gleaming timber]

100 dolaroos on newegg

[rigid fjord]

amazon it

[nimble glade]

the first one we talked about (the more expensive one) says New (model?!?!)

[wispy thunder]

Dunno what's up with that

[nimble glade]

and the one I talked about now seems like an older model

[gleaming timber]

it’s done

tomorrow is the day

[wispy thunder]

The one I had uses a screw and solid plastic cover to hold cables in place

[nimble glade]

the one I originally posted (newer model) seems to have more range of motion

[wispy thunder]

not the open circles

[nimble glade]

from the 2 pics I posted above witj both of them, the top one seems to be the newer model and is more expensive

#tech-chat-1 message

[gleaming timber]

do yk the difference between this and the one u sent beside the wattage

some say VE beside it

[rigid fjord]

if it's the same model line then it's just the wattage

[nimble glade]

got the original one we talked about WITH the pole

[bronze summit]

Aw dar

[tawdry pond]

Quick question, what are y'alls take on AOC monitors?

[bronze summit]

I use one they're alright also dontasktoask

[lethal bay]

My experience with one, fine. Nothing special nothing bad.

[nimble glade]

TLDR: they're the budget options

[lethal bay]

Mine was $400 👍

[tawdry pond]

Interesting, guess I've gotten incredibly lucky as I'm RMA'ing 3rd one.

[bronze summit]

Mine was 250$

And I've been fine with it although the stands are a bit iffy

[lethal bay]

Mines a 1440p 240Hz QD-OLED lol

I’m selling it though cause I upgraded

[nimble glade]

exactly, the budget option

[bronze summit]

1440p MiniLED 180hz

[nimble glade]

compare that pricing to ASUS and co.

[bronze summit]

I'm looking to get a 240hz by 2026 or 540hz if the used market is selling their "obsolete" 540hz

[peak knot]

those huanuo models are good its what i use for my dual 27" 1440p monitors

[gleaming timber]

will a sag bracket be necessary

or am i good

[nimble glade]

cool ... got the right one as it seems to be the newer model

also, gonna mount 2 different monitors to them hence all the hesitation

[tidal geyser]

Least dry thermal paste

[nimble glade]

both 27s

[elder quarry]

Thermal plate

Crusty thermally conductive material

[peak knot]

i have 2 different 27" monitors on mine, ones a smasnug and the others an MSI

[low abyss]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gyLHrM would you buy this pc for $750 if its used for 1 year

[peak knot]

Also that specific card since it was the one tested before the 2080s

[light hemlock]

[random junco]

[light hemlock]
