ik

[tribal nest]

ill be sure to tell the renters lol

[steel umbra]

i definitely didn’t chop all my fingers from inattention

when stopping the fans

[elder quarry]

Rip

[steel umbra]

they were only at 1200-1300 rpm

so imagine at full blast

[elder quarry]

O:

[steel umbra]

the new revision of fdb doesn’t do nothin 😂

[tribal nest]

i can’t wait to have 12 of those in the pc

[elder quarry]

Buh

[steel umbra]

or well, it’s rifle

they call it “fdb”

[elder quarry]

Why? I suppose fluid-dynamic bearing ut huh

Thats stupid

[steel umbra]

marketing, they pretty much use what’s called rifle bearing, and well it is, fdb looks internally different

[tribal nest]

how much should i charge to rent the dual 5090 pc

my friend said like 100 dolla dolla an hour

[elder quarry]

Rent?

[steel umbra]

i’d like if a company released a competitively priced fan

that performs decently, with decent sound profile

no hum, ticking or bearing noises, better qc than arctic would be appreciated on a sub $10 fan

[steel umbra]

I doubt people would come to your house just to take a pic with your dual 5090 pc

[mellow cairn]

It's almost like there is some correlation between quality and price?!

[steel umbra]

i don’t think it would cost arctic much to fix the ticking on p12 maxes

they’re no longer even using dbbs

[mellow cairn]

So make your own fans. How hard can it be?

[frail delta]

kvetinky would do it better

[steel umbra]

mega ez

[tribal nest]

as in they come and take it for a lil and do wtv they’d need a dual 5090 for

and than uh

money

[steel umbra]

the p12 argb don’t tick, the standard p12s don’t so… i find it a bit weird p12 maxes do tick

even the questionable bionix fans don’t tick… i believe these are all arctic’s riflings

[mellow cairn]

Then you give them a personal service?

[steel umbra]

they’ll likely extract the 5090s from your pc while you’re gone, and sell them on ebay

[tribal nest]

not if i weld the pcie lane in

[tribal nest]

what

that just makes no sense

[plush wren]

[mellow cairn]

More sense than a dual 5090 system

[tribal nest]

it makes sense for blender

[mellow cairn]

What do you do with dual 5090s

[plush wren]

One hour in blender

for $100

[mellow cairn]

It's less functional than a 5090/3060 system

[tribal nest]

what would you do

[mellow cairn]

Nothing, it's stupid.

[tribal nest]

more for me

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/dogs-confused-bro-what-did-he-really-just-say-that-bruh-hell-nah-gif-12127256168261487563

[tribal nest]

ok now im actually curious about this.

[mellow cairn]

5090 doesn't have 32 bit physx

[tribal nest]

mhm

yeah i can see the point

[frail delta]

Why not just duplicate all the bits? Boom! 64 bit physx

[sinful cobalt]

download free 32 bit physx online!11

[tribal nest]

third GPU for physx

[sinful cobalt]

Watch youtube-

finna have dual 5090 but no youtube premium

[junior valve]

dont the p12 max use the same bearing as the fan in corsair psus?

[wheat torrent]

Set up a remote desktop maybe...

Renting the PC itself seems...... Strange

Wouldn't you be limiting yourself to only people that can pick it up

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-cat-meow-baby-cat-kitten-cute-gif-14627947818056020865

[wheat torrent]

Also for nearly same price your offering you can get 9 4090s per hour

Also most render farms are plug and play

Your client might need to waste valuable time to get the dual 5090 to work efficiently

[grave obsidian]

guys can you help me choise both are 6000mhz cl30 32gb kit - 105$

[wheat torrent]

[tidal geyser]

corsair is shit

[grave obsidian]

sorry wdym corsair is shit? can you tell me why?

[elder quarry]

right

[grave obsidian]

the price is acceptable?

[plush wren]

xmp issues on their d4 kits idk about d5

[grave obsidian]

the look tells somthing

[plush wren]

Why does blud not want to buy the g skill

[grave obsidian]

i will dont worry

[sinful cobalt]

gskill looks nicer

[solar moat]

both over priced

can get for like $75

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Yyqrxr/patriot-viper-venom-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6400-cl32-memory-pvv532g640c32k

[grave obsidian]

i mean its not the same

lets talk about g.skill

[solar moat]

its the same

[grave obsidian]

no one is g.skill and one is patriot, and im asked price for g.skill 6000mhz cl30 kit,

[solar moat]

why

[sinful cobalt]

the cheapest 6000mhz cl30 in my area is basically $100 freedom fighting dollars

after accounting for currency exc and taxes

[grave obsidian]

wdym why.

[solar moat]

ITS THE SAME RAM

[sinful cobalt]

1 from adata another from teamgroup, both were $150 sgd lmao

[grave obsidian]

DONT NEED CAPS

[solar moat]

wow g.skill trying to be worse vaule

[grave obsidian]

belive or not i want to get 6000mhz cl30 kit and only found that g.skill kit.

[solar moat]

why /

you overclocking?

[grave obsidian]

no that why i dont want to bother getting 6400mhz kit for amd

[solar moat]

why tcl 30?

[grave obsidian]

why not

[solar moat]

ok then get this ram https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6mDQzy/teamgroup-elite-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-5600-cl46-memory-ted532g5600c46dc01

bro are you trolling me

[solar moat]

no

[grave obsidian]

looks like yes

you dont even reading what im texting

[solar moat]

you said dont want to overclock

[grave obsidian]

read up

[solar moat]

ok? and

[grave obsidian]

i have no choise

[solar moat]

so you want to overclock and dont want overclock

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8fWzK8/patriot-viper-venom-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl36-memory-pvv532g600c36k get this if you dont want 6400 ram since its scary

but want to have xmp

[grave obsidian]

i want use out of the box with good timings

[solar moat]

sadly not a thing with ddr5/4/3

idk about ddr/ddr2

[grave obsidian]

i cant get that

[solar moat]

why ?

you not in USA?

[grave obsidian]

really you really asking that

again

i told my country 100 times

[plush wren]

Uzbekistan

[solar moat]

oh its you who asked in #overclocking like a week ago

and did not listen

[grave obsidian]

im asking long time ago im trying to choise ram. so today is my payday

[solar moat]

get cheapest 6000 ram

if all you want to do is enable xmp

[grave obsidian]

really bro how can u forget me

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/bHn8d.gif

like 20 users a week asking silly thigs and dont want to overclokc in #overclocking

[grave obsidian]

i found patriot 6000mhz cl32 for 92$ but no rgb

[solar moat]

ok

[grave obsidian]

Hey so i have a 6 year old this hdd
Can someone tell me what is the expected jump in performance (game load times specifically) from this crap to a new crucial p3 plus nvme 1tb

[plush wren]

[cinder summit]

Triple fan 1050ti 💔

[trim idol]

oof

[plush wren]

[trim idol]

gotta cool that nothingburger 😄

[cinder summit]

What’s the worst gpu to have a triple fan setup

[rigid fjord]

as someone who has p12's, p14's and a couple bionix p120's, the bionix p120's can end up ticking, they're loud even at the speeds p12's can do

[cinder summit]

Triplefan 1650s exist but not as crazy as a triple fan 1050ti

[orchid lintel]

I have a single fan 1650

[trim idol]

There are 3 fan RX 570s, but even they trounce a 1050Ti

[grave obsidian]

good deal?

[cinder summit]

Triple fan gtx 1630

[rigid fjord]

way better deal tbh

[cinder summit]

💔 where

[rigid fjord]

look, any time you mention the gtx 1630, you get nvidia fanboi's trying to deny it ever existing

[grave obsidian]

ty old man

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1151983877699670066/1348418815997775922/attachment.gif

bro said old man

[cinder summit]

I like the card, price just ain’t it, if this was sub 100 like a 70-80 dollar card then it’s amazing value

The card is just cute lol

[grave obsidian]

hes old

[grave obsidian]

your cat reactions insane

[plush wren]

Not my cat

In fact I don't have a cat

[rigid fjord]

even then, it still loses to both an rx 6400 and rx6500xt

[grave obsidian]

you senting them

[plush wren]

gifs

[cinder summit]

Rx 6400 was going into my single slot Lenovo mini pc but I opted for a yeston 3050

[trim idol]

way better plan

I approve

Another great option is a Tesla P4. Basically a downclocked 1080, which is aroudn 3050 performance. You can find them on Ali for around $100 USD

[cinder summit]

Wanted this to be a sort off “main rig that I can bring to yknow different places” cuz I travel a lot between two countries

[trim idol]

Tesla P4s are tricky, though, as you have to alter registry and use some command-line config stuff to get them to wrok fro gaming.

[cinder summit]

I mean the thing is

[rigid fjord]

the more fun one is to get a tesla m40

[trim idol]

yeah, but it is more chonk

[honest gulch]

no. the rx580 exists

[trim idol]

Downside to a P4 is that it has no fan, so you have to push air through it

[cinder summit]

@trim idol crazy how thin this is

[trim idol]

I absolutely love it

The P4 is the same size, but no fan... I

I'm going to mount a blower to mine

[cinder summit]

Need a fan

Still waiting for the gpu, should arrive next week ( public holidays here)

[trim idol]

The Yestin is the more logical choice, tbf, just also costs a bunch more

[cinder summit]

Mine cost 179 usd

[rigid fjord]

not that, if i remember correctly, the pcb is exactly the same one a 980ti uses, and you can modify it to get a display output from it, you can also waterblock it using 980ti waterblocks

[trim idol]

what's the cpu in that beauty?

[cinder summit]

I5 8500t

[trim idol]

Yeah, it's not huge, but I needed a low profile card

[cinder summit]

With space to upgrade the cpu

[young crest]

Ryzen 9 9900X ordered 🔥

[cinder summit]

But I’m gonna balance out the slight bottleneck using lossless scaling

[trim idol]

heck yeah! you can go up to a 9700k!

[trim idol]

9700k with a 3050 is still doable for anything but the latest AAA games

[cinder summit]

Issue is uh the board only supports max tdp of 35w, so we gonna starve the 9700k 💔

[trim idol]

oh sad panda

I guess 8500t is probably the best place to stay then

[upbeat folio]

bro the fuck you mean -1% what is this shit dawg

[cinder summit]

Gonna run a triple a game at low 720 then upscale to 1080p with frame gen

[trim idol]

gaming in antarctica?

[cinder summit]

💔 ❤️

[plush wren]

peak life experience

[trim idol]

I love making portable scrappy systems out of old office PCs like this

[cinder summit]

Yeston 3050 for sub 180 usd is a bargain

[upbeat folio]

gpu utilization is -1

[plush wren]

Rat Buddy for 999999999999 robux

[upbeat folio]

how the fuck is that even possible

[trim idol]

idling in antarctica 😄

[plush wren]

[upbeat folio]

wow your so funny hahahaha

[cinder summit]

I used to have a dual crossfire amd gpu forgot what it was but it was this factory water cooled gpu

[rigid fjord]

ah, fair enough, there's that LP 4060 out there

[trim idol]

It's just a monitoring error, relax

[cinder summit]

Got it for 200-300 usd iirc

Used a xeon as well

[upbeat folio]

thank you

[rigid fjord]

tesla m40 pcb

[trim idol]

Yeah, but it's 2 slot. My system and dustin's only have 1 slot of room

[trim idol]

honestly, that looks like the reference 1080 design as well

[cinder summit]

Thank yeston for providing a somewhat usable gpu with a single slot config

[trim idol]

true chads

[dusty dew]

on a random note @rigid fjord I bought a 16gb stick

[cinder summit]

If I have to tick back to 1050ti single slot and I’ll lose my mind

[dusty dew]

to upgrade my asus

[rigid fjord]

980ti pcb in comparison

[young crest]

You could tell me this was a Quadro 5000 and I’d believe you

[rigid fjord]

sweet

[cinder summit]

Side note I got a 135w psu ( pushing the upper limit ) but it’s small and I can put it in my backpack when I travel

[dusty dew]

now having 24gb total at least, but treat as 16 then the 8 goes to igpu

[trim idol]

1080 pcb. They weren't making big changes back then, lol

[rigid fjord]

980ti waterblocks on a tesla m40

[cinder summit]

If you are buying a used gpu and the guy shows up with sunglasses a hat and a mask on just walk away

[trim idol]

wait... that was an MSI. Here's the FE

[tidal geyser]

why?

[cinder summit]

Did this with a 2080ti and found it was a bummer, card didn’t function so I spent a little bit of money and sent it to shenezen to get it refurbed and well the found out the card was used as a mining card

[trim idol]

I have spare 1080 waterblocks... I should get some M40s and see if they fit

[cinder summit]

About to sell you that broken gpu

[tidal geyser]

i just get most shit shipped so i get buyers protection

[honest gulch]

u can usually find a 6600 / 5700xt for less and they are way better...

[tidal geyser]

or test out things i buy out used before is send the money

[cinder summit]

No single slot

[trim idol]

we're talking about low profile single slot cards

[tidal geyser]

a310

lp single slot

or testla m40 i think it was called

[trim idol]

thanks for contributing

[cinder summit]

Performance of a twinkie 💔

[tidal geyser]

not dis

[trim idol]

m40 is neither lp or single slot

[bronze jay]

How do I make sure cables are compatible with my power supply? I want to replace my SATA cable because the design makes it bulky. I'm just going to get a straight one and apply extensions and splitters

[trim idol]

its the P4

[bronze jay]

I have an ROG THOR 1200W

I'm worried I'll miss something and burn up my pc

[lethal bay]

THOR

[cinder summit]

My Lenovo cost 120

[trim idol]

this little beastie is the only card other than a yeston 3050 that is worth using in an lp single slot these days.

[trim idol]

cable mod has compatability charts

[rigid fjord]

could be a fun try to do

[bronze jay]

That won't help me with the off brand stuff. I find that I usually prefer the Amazon off brands because I'm really picky and they make what I want. Are there names for these standards?

[trim idol]

I could add them to my system that already has 2 waterblocked 1080s 😄

[trim idol]

nope

[cinder summit]

Yall wanna see cursed

[trim idol]

If you go off brand, you have no guarantees

[trim idol]

absolutely

[bronze jay]

That's why I check the reviews

[dusty dew]

not all off brand are bad though

[trim idol]

I mean compatibility guarantees

[bronze jay]

That makes sense

Gotta be some way to check

[dusty dew]

yes, but if you are good at research wont be an issue

[trim idol]

plug it in and use a multimeter to check each pin

[rigid fjord]

the fun bit's about modding a m40

[dusty dew]

Like when I first bought 6600m dgpu

[bronze jay]

I can do that

I have a good multimeter

[cinder summit]

Took a while to find this gem I built

[bronze jay]

How do I use the multimeter to check the pins? I can't just randomly stick it across different pins

[trim idol]

that... that is a whole-ass situation, there

[bronze jay]

I bet I can look up the pinout

[trim idol]

TBH, one doesn't even have to mod for video output if one has an igpu.

[cinder summit]

Card was too thick since I have a capture card

[trim idol]

You're making angels cry. I approve

[trim idol]

yup

[rigid fjord]

true, but an m40 with either 12, 24 or 48 gb and doing this, you could have some jank fun times

[bronze jay]

The EU should enforce some sort of consistency. This is stupid

[safe ferry]

What CPU to buy in 2k25 if i need very high single core perf. and a lot of PCIE ?

[tidal geyser]

hedt

[trim idol]

Even better, the M40 supports GRID, so one could do server-hosted gaming on a phone with those

[cinder summit]

It works soo I cba to change it

[tidal geyser]

but single core winner is 14900k but it also has loads of pcie

well up to motherboard

[mortal mantle]

bruh why did Steam reset my pfp

[red bluff]

Anyone sent an nvme for repair lately? how much did it cost? Just wondering as my friend just lost access to her nvme and she has a bunch of data there.

[bronze jay]

God that's horrible

[trim idol]

hold a funeral

[grizzled frost]

good luck to ever getting that data back

[tidal geyser]

its in read only mode

[safe ferry]

I have that one and i need 3x 16x pcie

[tidal geyser]

wut

[safe ferry]

No desktop platform has it

[tidal geyser]

no you do not

[bronze jay]

She should be using a backup drive

[grizzled frost]

why?

[rigid fjord]

the data is recoverable, it's just a pain doing so

[mortal mantle]

why would Valve even reset a pfp

[tidal geyser]

its not harder then plugging it into a available m.2 slot on a computer that has a working c drive

well if it is in read only mode

[safe ferry]

GPU, 4k HDR capture card, 100gig network card

[tidal geyser]

aka nand is dying if its the controller good luck

[tidal geyser]

you added too mnay zeros

[safe ferry]

No i have infiniband at home

[tidal geyser]

anyways a 4k hdr card only needs x4 aint it or maybe even x1?

[tidal geyser]

why

[safe ferry]

It doesnt if you want 4:4:4 with surround and no compression

[trim idol]

You might have to go threadripper

[grizzled frost]

for that much PCIE you're looking at HEDT

[tidal geyser]

@grizzled frost

[safe ferry]

I know i were just wondering what HEDT exists i. 2025

[grizzled frost]

single thread performance ain't exactly great compared to consumer desktop platforms

[red bluff]

❓ An nvme on read mode? Explain pls

[grizzled frost]

threadripper

[rigid fjord]

the nand after a point of time in read/writes will be read only

[tidal geyser]

once the nand is starting to become too broke it goes into read only mode so you can still access the data but not change it

[trim idol]

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1791044-REG/amd_100_100001352wof_ryzen_threadripper_7960x_processor.html

Allll dem lanes

[red bluff]

I think its beyond that, its only showing as "raw", but data cannot be accessed as the drive does not show.

[mortal mantle]

why would you need 48 lanes

[grizzled frost]

they apparently need 3x16

[trim idol]

I don't, but Luka does

[foggy valley]

Why microsoft? Why?

[tidal geyser]

rip

[tidal geyser]

why not

[rigid fjord]

at that point, it's more than fucked

[tidal geyser]

yeah controller is ded

[mortal mantle]

try DD on Linux

[foggy valley]

Why aren’t edge just doing what chrome does? Why aren’t edge getting local ip?

It is strict and absolutely do not allow any other ip

[trim idol]

oooo look at this gorgeous sTR5 mobo...

[foggy valley]

Single socket 😒

[grizzled frost]

as are all mobos with that socket

[tidal geyser]

that is a good thing?

[trim idol]

TR 7000/9000 is not an SMP cpu

[foggy valley]

How will i ever spend my money then?

[mortal mantle]

something like this

dd if=/dev/nvmeXnX of=/whereever/you/want/whateveryouwanttocallit.img bs=64K conv=noerror,sync status=progress

[tidal geyser]

i dono home petabyte project

[trim idol]

Gotta go up to Epyc

[mortal mantle]

why is it so fucking overpriced

[foggy valley]

Then fill with some A6000 gpu

[trim idol]

because

[tidal geyser]

its not

[mortal mantle]

1k for a motherboard is overpriced

[tidal geyser]

not that one

[tidal geyser]

find me a new motherboard that is less then that and has ipmi

and then can use a single 96 core cpu

[foggy valley]

Supermicro probably but yea i think its a fair price

[raven sluice]

hey there Delilah

[tidal geyser]

i think it can even do automatic failover for internet

[foggy valley]

wtf does that mean?

[raven sluice]

what's it like in NYC?

[tidal geyser]

if ethernet cable goes out it means it can switch to cellular

[foggy valley]

Ah it’s sim card, Cool

[tidal geyser]

na does not really look like it, they just call it a sd card slot

but its still a pretty cool board for a pretty low price

[mortal mantle]

1k is not a low price

[tidal geyser]

i have kept saying why it is

find me a modern new board that has impi for a lower price then this

and can have 96 cores without another cpu

[bronze jay]

Finding a compatible cable is becoming more hassle than it's worth

I'll just attack extensions to it and tuck it away

The design is awful

[gleaming rose]

inzoi has been crazy fun so far

[frail delta]

Beautiful. Not a single RGB LED in sight!

[frail delta]

It’d be a microSD slot for OOBM

[ebon marlin]

[mellow cairn]

You mean expensive.

[cursive moth]

is there a list of self-destructing power supplies somewhere? specifically i have an fsp400-60apn here and i want to know if i can use it without burning down the house

[mellow cairn]

Most power supplies don't explode.

[cursive moth]

oh okay

[mellow cairn]

But there is a psu tier list which might help

[cursive moth]

yeah its not on there sadly

[cunning escarp]

yo is 16gb of ddr5 ram clocked at 5200 MT bad?

[rapid quarry]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1347726298113638432/image0.gif

[cunning escarp]

cuz i found this kinda W build

[mellow cairn]

... Bad is relative. It's fine.

[cunning escarp]

dayum ok 😭😭

[frail delta]

16gb of ram is the real problem there

[mellow cairn]

Which again is... Fine.

[frail delta]

I'm barely doing anything!

[cunning escarp]

ik

[mellow cairn]

Oh, look it's not enough for me, but it's fine

[frail delta]

Can always pick up another stick down the line

[mellow cairn]

If I was built a ddr5 system it would have at least 48gb ram

[cunning escarp]

i thought i can like get another 2 8gb sticks but the mobo only has 2 ram slots

[frail delta]

Pick up another stick or 7

[mellow cairn]

I need to buy another 16gb of ddr4... Maybe 32.

Server ram usage is up since I'm running like 20 containers.

[trim idol]

Yes, yes you do

[frail delta]

This is 1x16, yeah?

[cunning escarp]

nope sadly

2x8

[frail delta]

I did not know they made 8gig sticks of ddr5!

[mellow cairn]

Oh, then I think it is bad

[frail delta]

Yeah

[mellow cairn]

8 gig ddr5 sticks are fucked

[cunning escarp]

my only option is to get rid of them and get 2x16 sticks

[frail delta]

Do that :)
Or, 1x16

[cunning escarp]

but at the same time this is exipensive enough

also how bad of an idea is a circular case ?

[mellow cairn]

There are no bad ideas

[frail delta]

too expensive
circular case

[mellow cairn]

Honestly it's not circular really.... It's just a circle around stuff.

does it matter what soap i use to get super glue off of my hands?

[cunning escarp]

has a stand

[frail delta]

Use sandpaper

[trim idol]

oooo it's so pretty

[mellow cairn]

No, because soap will not degrade cyanoacrylate

[cunning escarp]

why are ur hands superglued and why are u in tech chat😭😭

[cunning escarp]

time to conivce my dad to get it

[iron glen]

jokes on you i tried it already, it got rid of the itch on my hand but not much else

[mellow cairn]

Literally acetone. Nail polish remover

[iron glen]

im at home
i was fixing my clock

[frail delta]

You need to use an electric sander

[cunning escarp]

fair

[frail delta]

Dremel

[mellow cairn]

... Followed by moisturiser.

[iron glen]

doubt i have it but i'll try

[cunning escarp]

when i superglue my hands i just pull them apart

[mellow cairn]

Or... Just wait. Your skin is constantly growing and dying, and the outer layer of your epidermis will shed

[cunning escarp]

that takes 30 days

[iron glen]

oh, i think thats a better option cuz its just on my fingers

[solar moat]

time for CNC one of those

[mellow cairn]

It absolutely doesn't

[iron glen]

my skin can die within 30 minutes if the conditions are right

[frail delta]

Already exists

[cunning escarp]

i heard that from a clip of a show on youtube shorts 😭😭

[iron glen]

sounds about right

[mellow cairn]

Yeah for the whole layer, but it isn't glued through the entire skin.

[cunning escarp]

i see

just pull ur hands apart

[solar moat]

small

[mellow cairn]

I know a lot about injuring yourself. I cut my thumb open this morning with a butter knife.

[cunning escarp]

how

[mellow cairn]

I am extremely talented.

[frail delta]

That would've hurt

[iron glen]

i don't think thats how it works

[cunning escarp]

like how hard do u have to rub ur fingers againt a butter knife to cut urself

[frail delta]

At least sharp things don't hurt!

[rapid quarry]

Skill issue

[iron glen]

if its a shitty wooden one then not very
(speaking from personal experience)

[cunning escarp]

i superglued my fingers alot (on purpose sometimes) then let it dry and pulled it apart

[cunning escarp]

[frail delta]

[mellow cairn]

It's a ground floor detached apartment with many rooms. Some might call it a house

[frail delta]

Is that a little Stitch I see

[cunning escarp]

can u adopt me

[iron glen]

what is my youtube bitrate based on? my internet or my system

its shit no matter where i am or what im using

[mellow cairn]

Our son is basically the same as stitch. Impulse control issues. Adorable. Dangerous. Very strong. Clever, but ... doesn't care.

[frail delta]

Youtube has a team of people in India rolling dice to choose the resolution for you

It's AI

[mellow cairn]

I have already adopted one child, we are all full up

[iron glen]

and when they roll a good number they roll it again im guessing

[cunning escarp]

can i be ur 2nd son i get very good grades

[mellow cairn]

Yep. This is why sometimes YouTube goes to 240p for "no reason"

[cunning escarp]

im bilingual and learning a 3rd language

[hard nest]

thoughts on the new 600hz zowie monitor?

[cunning escarp]

ngl anything over 240HZz is overkill in my opinion

[cunning escarp]

Ugh

[hard nest]

anyone used a monitor over 240hz ? is it noticeable?

[mellow cairn]

And it's a huge piece of shit and extremely expensive

[mellow cairn]

Never trust a fart

[frail delta]

They don't allow .pdfs to be uploaded

[tawdry pond]

240Hz from what?
Going from 60 is very noticeable, going from 144Hz is somewhat, 165Hz and up i don't really notice

[hollow creek]

for fps games? hell yeah. overall usage? nope

180hz is plenty, 165hz is currently standard

I know that the a56 is almost better at almost everything but it doesn't have wireless charging and I don't know if the camera is going to be good at night, I tested my nothing phone 2a and the Samsung galaxy A55 and the nothing phone 2a had a better camera.

I also like the iPhone 13 because I want to try the ecosystem

I have a monitor that plugged into my motherboard using a USB-C to DP adapter and its really "unstable" black screen flickering and sometimes just loses the signal and i need to do a full pc reboot. Is it the usb-c to dp adapter causing this? (before i had a different motherboard with onboard display port and that worked fine)

[carmine yew]

how many monitors are plugged into your mobo?

[foggy marsh]

only that monitor

i have other monitors but they are plugged into my gpu

[carmine yew]

then why are you using USB C? Use a video plug

that's very much not what we do here

[foggy marsh]

the motherboard doesn't have dispaly port

[carmine yew]

how old is your mobo? that's been standard for years

[foggy marsh]

msi x870 tomahawk wifi

it has hdmi but the monitor needs dp

[white sphinx]

Free multimeter woohoo

[carmine yew]

are you using one of the two ports meand for DP?

[foggy marsh]

yea im using one of the usb4 ports

and not i cant just plug the monitor into my gpu because its maxed out (well not really but when i use dsc it limits the gpu to 3 monitors)

why not have all your display's into the dgpu?

[tired hawk]

this maybe?

(also what is dsc i'm so out of the loop)

display stream compression?

ok thanks

[foggy marsh]

i cant because one of my monitors needs dsc and that limits the gpu to 3 monitors

should i get a new / better quality usb-c to display port adapter?

[tired hawk]

(also how the heck do i set up nat46? my school wifi doesn't support ipv6 and i need to connect to my home server that is ipv6 only)

[frail delta]

Plenty of public nat64 services out there

[tired hawk]

fair, but nat46

64 means i can access v4 networks with v6, 46 means v6 networks with v4

[bleak granite]

Finally got mine

[tired hawk]

i never figured out how to set them up, there's not that much documentation and when it "works" it sucks

[frail delta]

6in4 tunnel sounds easier

[tired hawk]

hmmmm leme see

[frail delta]

he.net does or did that

https://tunnelbroker.net/

[tired hawk]

is that just 6 rapid deployment but different?

talking about 6in4

[frail delta]

It's a mess :)

[tired hawk]

true

my isp is really cheap and assigns a /64 subnet and uses 6rd

literally the only isp in italy with cgnat

[frail delta]

Nothing wrong with handing out /64s

[tired hawk]

i beg my parents to swap isp but they are like "nu uh" and when i tell them to at least get me a public ip they go "cgnat = security"

[tired hawk]

literally the dudes who made ipv6 say that isps should at least hand out a /56 (a subnettable subnet using slaac) (slaac only works with /64 and above, /65 and below and you gotta use dhcp)

[frail delta]

APNIC disagrees

They say /64 default, larger allocation if requested

[visual lark]

Hey guys, I am using windows and after turning on my pc, instead of the login screen everything is just black except for my mouse, how can I fix this?

[tired hawk]

wait uh lemme just search smth

[frail delta]

An LIR can assign a /64 to /48 to an end site customer network based on their requirements.

I dislike their use of "an" there.

[tired hawk]

ok so it was ietf who said the /56 thing

also about the subnet thing, maybe i'll ask my dad to get us a /56, afterall they should be forced to comply

[frail delta]

Huh?

[tired hawk]

or i'm misinterpreting stuff? idk

[frail delta]

The RIR can't force a LIR to delegate a specific prefix size to an end user

That would be a tremendous waste of time

[latent gull]

I’m gonna assume /64 is a ipv6 thing?

[tired hawk]

^

[latent gull]

Disgusting

[tired hawk]

wym disgusting it's perfect

[frail delta]

/64 is the minimum that should be allocated to a site as it's the minimum delegation that SLAAC will work with

[tired hawk]

yes, lower than that and stuff actually breaks

[latent gull]

IPv6 as a whole is a necessary evil. I get it, but I don’t like it

[tired hawk]

ipv6 is useful, ipv6 is the future, ipv4 still exists because people refuse to switch because of what i call a "youtube situation" (yes you can switch to other platforms but unless everyone is there it's hard to switch)

[thin plover]

I have no clue how any of ipv6 works but the world should switch over faster

all I know is there's not enough ipv4 adresses

[tired hawk]

true
so, ipv4 has the issue of nat and cgnat, where you can't easily reach someone from the outer internet (port forwarding and stuff)
ipv6 is what ipv4 was meant to be, but with extra addresses just to be more safe

[tired hawk]

one nitpick i have is that 1 loopback address is not enough, you at least gotta make it 16 (::1 to ::f)

[tired hawk]

there was a ipv4 one i made idk where

wait lemme just copy it i know where it is waiiiiit

Which rx 7800xt should I buy to replace my MSI ventus 4070 oc

[neat pollen]

Can anyone in here help me with an excel formula really quick

[bronze jay]

I don't understand the AMD market

[azure topaz]

..why?

[bronze jay]

I switched to Linux

I don't want to learn how to deal with compatibility issues when I can just not have them

They make me so angry

[azure topaz]

i haven’t really seen that much that’s really not compatible with nv+ linux, nvidia is pushing pretty hard today for decent compatibilit - sometimes they even have setup for nvidia in the documentation

[bronze jay]

I've just been getting constant issues and I'm so exhausted. It causes me a great deal of stress

Also, the extra 4gb of vram would be nice for games like Minecraft with rtx

[gleaming rose]

yeah nvidia is great on any properly set up linux machine

[bronze jay]

I don't want to learn how to do it properly I just want it to work. That's the truth.

[gleaming rose]

"properly" meaning the basic configuration on most mainstream user friendly distros

[bronze jay]

When I updated my drivers my mouse froze and I had to reformat. I'm not willing to deal with this shit

[gleaming rose]

then don't?

[azure topaz]

yeah this - i’ve got it basically flawless before

[bronze jay]

That's why I'm switching to amd

[gleaming rose]

my setup is currently flawless

i had a flawless setup back when i used nvidia too

[bronze jay]

That's for you but shit never works for me and that's just how it is

[latent gull]

Wait, so your tired of compatability issues, so you switched to Linux?

[bronze jay]

No I switched to Linux and the compatibility issues are annoying me and I'm lucky enough to be in a position where I can buy a new card and sell the old one

[azure topaz]

And completely honest - if you want things to “just work” why are you on linux in the first place? to me its always been more of a tinkerers home - someone’s who’s not worried about having to fix things

this one isn’t judgmental just asking

[bronze jay]

Because all of my other issues can be fixed with simple logic

But Nvidia isn't being logical.

The only problems I can't solve are the ones associated with my card

[latent gull]

I feel like going back to windows would probably be easier for you in the long run

[bronze jay]

I'm never going to do that

I just need to get an AMD card and then things won't be so inconsistent

[latent gull]

[bronze jay]

All of my problems have to do with the card

[latent gull]

Sounds like a heavy dose of copium but you do that chief

[bronze jay]

I really don't care

I'm supposed to respect your opinion when you're being smug?

[latent gull]

I could not care less about you respecting my opinion.

[bronze jay]

I've run into other issues and I solved them just fine. I'm just tired of dealing with the Nvidia issues and I have an opportunity to eliminate them and I'm taking it.

What bothers me about the driver issue is that it's being harder than it has to be. Unnecessary problems are what gets under my skin.

[arctic tapir]

Rebuild soon

[nimble marsh]

laptop peakfully being the biggest piece of dogshit again,ye im going PC idc , ts couldnt open cs2

[rigid marsh]

would an intel arc card benefit obs stream encoding to youtube at all vs cpu encoding?

[carmine yew]

what's your current GPU?

[rigid marsh]

none, odd setup but its a nature bird camera being streamed by obs on a linux vm ☠️

just being cpu encoded by one of our servers

[carmine yew]

then as long as your server isn't being overloaded by the current stream?
It probably wouldn't change much

[bronze jay]

After looking further into it, I'd be losing about 10 frames in ray traced games. I'll have to think about it more, but if that's the case, I think I'd rather just learn how to force it to work properly

[azure topaz]

what is with people blaming the form factor of their device as to why its slow

your laptop isnt shit cause its a laptop. its shit cause its a shitty laptop.

[forest lotus]

I'm getting more and more surprised lately

Vrc is a very weird game. And has very weird preferences in gpus.

Monolithic gpus = good
Anything that's not = bad
Gpus with large L2/L3 cache = good
Gpus with fast vram = good
Gpus with large L3 and slower vram = kinda okay?
Amd gpus = perform okay actually in VR just some oddly made avatars that make the GPU do weird things
Nvidia gpus = end up basically running just as bad as their amd counterparts but with less of the avatar issues on avatars with high physics count

At least in my testing that I've found

Also overclocking doesn't help you much in vrc

It doesn't even hit full util even when uncapped

In either your CPU or GPU...

[bronze jay]

Learning how to solve problems on Linux will always make me less angry than being disrespected by Microsoft. I'm not mentally dissonant, I'm stubborn.

[charred sundial]

Ah yes, some power supplies, computer cases and keyboards

[bronze jay]

Just ai things

[grizzled frost]

“AI” is being generous, that’s just a simple algorithm

[bronze jay]

That's true

I've been getting so much help from Microsoft copilot. It's killing it

[abstract wigeon]

what lets laptop screens be so much thinner than monitors of equal spec

[charred sundial]

Hahaha i know

[bronze jay]

But if it comes to something important I ask people to verify the answer first and they do, which I really appreciate

[azure topaz]

quit using microsoft things bro 😔

[grizzled frost]

less luminance, and doesn’t have to include a power supply

plus they make some monitors that thin

[bronze jay]

I'm not going to miss out on a tool just because I think it's made by filthy traitors

[charred sundial]

*tbf, to add to this, the stream deck is technically a keyboard, because it's a board with keys

[bronze jay]

I like the way copilot thinks. It resonate with me.

[rapid quarry]

[bronze jay]

Yeah wtf

[distant frigate]

Not the craziest thing I saw. Someone used like 100 TB of data in a month lmao

They were terminated from the carrier

[cyan horizon]

fair enough

What app consumed the 100 TB though?

[carmine yew]

no way that was on cellular or wireless

[distant frigate]

That was on cellular

[carmine yew]

that's more than 2GB per minute every day of the month

[cyan horizon]

@true warren maybe

He must have been running Cloudflare's servers on mobile data

[carmine yew]

That'd be a sustained 280+ mbps 24/7 for a month

No wireless service offers that

also, you'd literally be burning out your phone's NAND with that level of r/w activity on it

[cinder raptor]

Running like an entire business off a phone hotspot

[distant frigate]

My data usage this month so far from the carrier

[carmine yew]

so, 0.15% of that 100TB thing? lol

[distant frigate]

No the 100 TB wasn’t from me

[modest pivot]

how on earth do you have a 100tb of data

[tulip sparrow]

100TB is better then 1TB limits LOL

[lilac trellis]

Hi, should I go 4070 super(new) or 7900 gre(new) or 4070ti(used), if they are available for the same price range(maybe with a plus minus of 50 bucks)

it's basically impossible that someone did it. No carrier would allow it, but also, it'd be a sustained 280mbps for an entire month, which is absurd

helloo!! my current wired mouse is starting to give up on me and i want reccomendations to what i should buy.
My requirements:

1. Around 12,5 cm (5~ Inches, preferably nothing smaller than that).
2. Wireless seems like a nice feature, idk cus i use wire but it just seems way nicer not having the wire in the way.
3. Good battery life!! I dont wanna have to charge it during a gaming session if i charged it to 100% before that at least (At least 5 hours battery time)
4. Wired mode and wired charging (No AA batteries!!) I want to be able to use it in a wired mode when its dead
5. Under 80 buckaroonies

[broken perch]

Less, actually. At least the one major laptop guy, forget his name reviewed.

[rapid quarry]

That is a 2012 Toyota Sienna

[broken perch]

Instead of 340, it was 280

[azure topaz]

340?

[broken perch]

He was looking at the razer 16 slim

[tidal geyser]

cant really compare a 280w 5090m to lets say a 340w 4090m or smn

[broken perch]

Can't, but seems the 5090s coming out are only using 280 watts

[strange atlas]

Yes i do does that do it

[tidal geyser]

they are also thin as all hell

[cedar hollow]

https://videocardz.com/newz/geforce-rtx-5090-with-missing-rops-now-offered-as-b-stock-product-by-german-retailer-costs-e2899

[azure topaz]

yes its fine

[broken perch]

Yeah, personally if I was buying a GAMING laptop, I wouldn't care if it were an inch thicker but have way better thermals and power

[tribal nest]

cheaper prices

[south arrow]

[tidal geyser]

that is you

[azure topaz]

if i was buying a laptop for specifically gaming id rethink my hobbies

(/j)

[broken perch]

Exactly. Some prefer the thin gaming laptops for transport

[tidal geyser]

or just being able to carry it

like the new razerblade is what was it 15% lighter

[long brook]

oof, about to be a lot more common

[signal vault]

crazy how 4 years ago i was watching linus and now i work at a pc shop lol

Almost 7 TB of local storage used. Nice

[peak furnace]

helloo!! my current wired mouse is starting to give up on me and i want reccomendations to what i should buy.
My requirements:

1. Around 12,5 cm (5~ Inches, preferably nothing smaller than that).
2. Wireless seems like a nice feature, idk cus i use wire but it just seems way nicer not having the wire in the way.
3. Good battery life!! I dont wanna have to charge it during a gaming session if i charged it to 100% before that at least (At least 5 hours battery time)
4. Wired mode and wired charging (No AA batteries!!) I want to be able to use it in a wired mode when its dead
5. Under 80 buckaroonies

[lethal bay]

G305

[peak furnace]

that uses AA batteries no?

[lethal bay]

oh no AA’s nvm

anyways that’s the only mouse I’d recommend under $80 so

[distant frigate]

Apparently he wants a 16 TB MacBook Pro, which is crazy

[peak furnace]

how often will i have to change batteries

[lethal bay]

like 6 months

[peak furnace]

oh alright lmao

getting that then

[lethal bay]

yeah and you can always just get rechargeable AA’s

[peak furnace]

yo its like 35 bucks on sale on one of my favorite sites to shop from right now

[arctic tapir]

Yayy, dickhead just wrapped the case in bubble wrap and called it a day,

[peak furnace]

nvm its out of stock there

[peak furnace]

how big is it

the mouse

[lethal bay]

idk normal size lmfao

It’s kinda small for me but I have bigger hands but its still very usable

[peak furnace]

could you grab a ruler

[elfin night]

since the 5800x3D and the 5700X3D are practically the same, if i just overclock the 5700x3d to the same base clock speeds (only difference between the two) would the 5700x3d work the same as a 5800x3d?

[frosty prism]

@tidal geyser hey so quick question, the same store that im buying my parts from have a 3070 ti 8 gb thats used for less than a 4060

[elfin night]

nevermind both are locked

[tidal geyser]

its better

[frosty prism]

they also have a 3080 10gb thats a bit more than the 4060, so is it worth it buying used?

[tidal geyser]

by like A LOT A LOT

[frosty prism]

yeah i know its better by a lot but im worried about the used part

i know used is fine but i'll ask if it was used for mining or not

[tidal geyser]

well considering i buy used parts test em make a pc with em and sell yeah i say so

[gloomy sleet]

why

[tidal geyser]

hope its used for mining

[frosty prism]

285 usd for a 3070 ti is insane

[tidal geyser]

unless you are vram limited its a nice card

[frosty prism]

wdym

[peak furnace]

7800xt

[frosty prism]

why?

[gloomy sleet]

mining doesnt damage a card

[tidal geyser]

Mining makes it last longer most of the time

[gloomy sleet]

gaming "damages" it more

even then its minimal

[frosty prism]

wtf

this one was used for mining and its 270 usd

do i get the palit one or zotac

[elfin night]

would the tech comm sacrifice me for putting a 9070xt with a 5600G

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/knnyagi-yes-gif-26091066

[gleaming rose]

ok i need elaboration on this

[tidal geyser]

solder cracking due to thermal cycles

[elfin night]

so really you could invest in a soldering iron and get it done yourself

theoretically

[frosty prism]

@tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

what

[elfin night]

and then the gaming > mining

[tidal geyser]

up to you

[tidal geyser]

you do understand the core is BGA?

[frosty prism]

so whatever is cheapest brand doesnt matter?

[elfin night]

oh ur talking about the core i thought you were referring to solder on the board

not the core

[tidal geyser]

most of the time yea

[tidal geyser]

why would solder on other parts fail

[frosty prism]

well im talking about this case so should i go for the zotac thats a bit more expensive, i have the budget for it

[elfin night]

vibrations from fans? i don’t know i don’t resell pcs tbf

[gleaming rose]

ahhhhh ic

[tidal geyser]

if ya want to

[gleaming rose]

that actually makes a lot of sense

[latent gull]

wtf is palit?

[frosty prism]

so the zotac one is better?

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[elfin night]

its like the high end of knock offs

[tidal geyser]

a brand that sells gpus

[frosty prism]

no its just i have the money so which one should i get

[gloomy sleet]

?

[tidal geyser]

if ya like the zotac go for it

[gloomy sleet]

it isnt a knockoff its just a good budget brand

[tidal geyser]

yus

[gloomy sleet]

palit gpus in my experience have been just as good if not better then other brands

[frosty prism]

its not about "liking" its about whats better even if slightly better

they're both basically the same price so i just want the better one even if its not by a lot

[tidal geyser]

they will have the same performance

[latent gull]

Zotac is a more well known brand, if that means anything to you

[azure topaz]

zotac vs palit?

both are very well known

palit has been in the game basically as long as we've been alive

(not thAT long but a while)

cards going back to at least 10 series

[latent gull]

I’m not saying they aren’t, I’m just saying zotac is moreso, at least around here

[frosty prism]

yeah i'll just get the zotac one honestly looks better aesthetically

[tidal geyser]

Founded: 1998

[azure topaz]

yeah shit

[frosty prism]

gosh im glad my case is 425 mm so it can fit a triple fan card

[tidal geyser]

its WAY WAY older then me

[azure topaz]

me too lo

[tidal geyser]

i did do too many way

[latent gull]

Zoomer

[azure topaz]

but yeah palit is super well known

generally reference cards with nothing special exactly like zotac

[latent gull]

Definitely not around here but I’ll take your word for it

[frosty prism]

alright so the palit one was used for mining and the zotac one for gaming, should i reconsider or just go with the zotac

[molten patrol]

how much will LF3 pro go for?

[azure topaz]

i dont think id ever willingly own a zotac dgpu but their newer ones arent terrible

[tidal geyser]

you do not need it

[azure topaz]

tbh as long as both work fully and will pass real stress tests just pick the one you like more its not that deep

[latent gull]

They look ugly as fuck to me, I’d rather get a msi or pny or something

[tidal geyser]

my first self built pc had a zotac gpu in it

[molten patrol]

that fan looks lovely tho 🤣

[azure topaz]

ive had like maybe one zotac card in my entire life

[latent gull]

Is pny still making cards?

[azure topaz]

yes

[frosty prism]

yes

i was gonna get a 4060 from pny pretty cheap

[tidal geyser]

king pin

[frosty prism]

so their past usage doesnt matter?

[tidal geyser]

is working at pny

[azure topaz]

(vince)

[tidal geyser]

dat is his name yea

kinda forgor

[latent gull]

That’s pretty cool actually, I knew he had gotten picked up by someone but didn’t remeber who

[azure topaz]

not really

i cant gaze into the future idk

[frosty prism]

because sim said how gaming does affect the gpu more than mining

[latent gull]

It does, but guessing exactly what impact it’ll have on the card is like reading a magic ball

[frosty prism]

but is that effect really going to be noticable or cause the card to fail in the future

[tidal geyser]

in a like 30 year perspective

[azure topaz]

and sim is right - but that effect isnt noticable and is more of a long term scenario thing

XX card may last 2 years longer than XX card, but assuming no defects thats 50 instead of 52 years

[frosty prism]

alright so it wont matter just get the zotac one bc it looks better than the palit end of story

[azure topaz]

basically yes, choose what you want as long as both work

neither of them have warranties, neither are broken, itll be fine

[tidal geyser]

i like the rgb and such on the palit but yeah

[tidal geyser]

here in Norway used stuff from a store has a 2 year warranty due to EU

[tidal geyser]

well we are not in the EU but we have EØS

[frosty prism]

yeah the zotac looks way better i'll keep it real

[frosty prism]

pretty sure the store gives a 1 year warranty for anything you buy from them no questions asked

[azure topaz]

goated. we only get that if things are sold as "new"

[frosty prism]

im 100% sure it applies to stuff sold as new but not sure for used parts i'll ask

[azure topaz]

as is stuff we dont get no warranty

[frosty prism]

4060 ti 8 gb vs 3070 ti 8 gb?

[peak knot]

like me

[tidal geyser]

old but gold

[tidal geyser]

raw performance the 3070 ti wins

[frosty prism]

i saw the 4060 ti and i was so confused lmao

[tidal geyser]

4060 ti is a bit slower but has FG

[frosty prism]

oh wait yeah i didnt keep that in mind 3070 ti doesnt have fg

[surreal comet]

Hi, what settings should I set after setting PL1 = 125W, PL2 = 253W, Tau = 56s, Voffset = 0 for my i9-14900K on an MSI board, again?

[ebon marlin]

shit vs shit

[tidal geyser]

turn off MCE

[frosty prism]

honestly i'm not going to play anything that requires fg, fg is shit

fg makes your game SOOO slow

[tidal geyser]

wut

[ebon marlin]

framegen is nice if implemented well

[latent gull]

Boomer

[surreal comet]

It's "Enhanced Turbo" for MSI right

[azure topaz]

im not sure how i feel about mce - in every case ive used it/seen it used its been helpful and hasnt done anything harmful

[tidal geyser]

yup

Its called Turbo Enhanced, right on CPU advanced settings

[frosty prism]

are we talking about dlss or fg

[azure topaz]

ive said this a lot but the 13900k/14900k is unusable on stock settings

[surreal comet]

I've disabled that already, anything else that I should do?

[ebon marlin]

Monster Hunter Wilds has implemented framegen very good but Cyberpunk for example has poop framegen implementation

[tidal geyser]

i have kept being told its shit and should always be disabled

[tidal geyser]

FG

[surreal comet]

Yeah it hits tjmax immediately unless i set power limits, MSI sets PL1 = PL2 = 253W

[azure topaz]

well yea a lot of people do that, your cooler kinda buns if it cant do 250w tho

[tidal geyser]

that is a cooler issue

[azure topaz]

a 40$ air cooler should do 250w just fine

past that is pretty hard to cool but

[surreal comet]

Oh man, I thought about this

[tidal geyser]

wut coola

[surreal comet]

The AIO might be going through a pump failure, but I can return it

[azure topaz]

the settings you set are "stock" settings, the 125w pl1

[frosty prism]

oh well the 4060 ti is way too expensive and im getting a 3070 ti for 285 usd im stealing it at that point

[surreal comet]

deepcool ls720 se

[tidal geyser]

fun fact my first AIO was a deepcool

[azure topaz]
