[empty quartz]

The odds are literally 1/1,000,000 if not more

And

[elder quarry]

And

[winged tulip]

your brain doesn't always think that rationally through, though. And then you get to have conversations about "well if i win this euromillions tonight im goin to tell my boss to stick it and then buy a maserati and drive off in the sunset"

its like escapism

[steel umbra]

money that could have been actually invested though, or do you take it as a kind of entertainment?

I believe scratch tickets, lotteries, any sort of money hazard are stupid, and bad for the enviroment

[winged tulip]

i dont play but my aunt does, she's been like in and out of hospital her adult life, she needs a lil bit of hope and thats where the lottery really shines + it gets reinvested in some countries (they do a buuunch of charity work in the uk)

[winged tulip]

most ppl buy lotto draws online now i think

[elder quarry]

Ouch

[elder quarry]

THAT SUCKS

The fun thing is the scratch

[steel umbra]

still enviromental

electricity costs something

[elder quarry]

I don’t care about my money when buying a ticket

[winged tulip]

yeah but it costs about as much energy sitting here on discord

[elder quarry]

Less

[winged tulip]

if you get that petty bout the money then your freezer would always be full of ice cube trays, because ice costs something and the electricity is a constant expense, and every minute your freezer is sat idle you're "losing money".

[thorny saddle]

what

[winged tulip]

the difference between the environmental impact is both so insignificant it actually doesnt matter being my point

[steel umbra]

it’s not at all?

[winged tulip]

online lotto actually does not consume enough power to have an environmental impact i fear

[plush wren]

what is this convo 😭

[steel umbra]

you realise people that upkeep or ensure the lottery is running as it should need food, clothing, pay, etc. which on it’s self causes pollution

[winged tulip]

yeah they dont magically disappear if you dont play the lotto thats not how this works

[elder quarry]

I’m leaving this convo

Too lazy to resonate

[plush wren]

how much does this affect your life

[steel umbra]

i don’t know

[winged tulip]

i fear you're thinking about this too deeply

it is what it is

[plush wren]

better not to know then

[steel umbra]

you’re taking it too lightly

[plush wren]

at the end of the day there's nothing you can really do about it

[winged tulip]

BAN THE LOTTERY /s

[steel umbra]

don’t buy hazard

[plush wren]

i don't but that wont stop others

[thorny saddle]

TC1 comes up with the strangest arguments

[steel umbra]

yes, but reducing is better than nothing

[winged tulip]

in fact reducing is MORE harmful than playing the National Lottery in the UK

[plush wren]

you can reduce it by a very small scale

[winged tulip]

National Lottery pays for youth clubs, schools, etc

[plush wren]

i don't think any government will ever ban it

[elder quarry]

Why would they

[steel umbra]

tax

[plush wren]

yes tax

[steel umbra]

$$$$$!!!

[elder quarry]

They earn money and give their people what they want

[plush wren]

same with alcohol

[cursive pendant]

is the Apevia ATX-SP700 Spirit ATX 700w Power Supply good?

[plush wren]

i think alcohol should be illegal tbh

[winged tulip]

alcohol is banned in many countries

[plush wren]

not in enough countries

[elder quarry]

Eh?

[thorny saddle]

Dear God - when I am old and senile please let me make more sense than TC1

[plush wren]

No

[elder quarry]

Yes please

[winged tulip]

tbh alcohol prohibition is historically a very very poor solution

same w/ the war on drugs

[plush wren]

idk about other parts of the world but

[steel umbra]

it has it’s sides you can’t say it’s entirely wrong solution

[plush wren]

fuck idk how to phrase it

[elder quarry]

OOH

[winged tulip]

i'd judge the risk of unregulated alcohol to be worse than regulated alcohol, but sure

[plush wren]

[elder quarry]

How much does the oscilloscope amd rhe power supply cost

[peak knot]

My scope is about $350

The electronic load is about $160

[elder quarry]

Nice

[steel umbra]

i would like a chonky load tester up to 1500w

[peak knot]

Those are $$$$$$

[steel umbra]

yes

[peak knot]

Hell even more name brand 200W load units cost like $400-600

[marble cloud]

3/21 had bent pins the rest were fine got for 20$ local marketplace

[peak knot]

This kunkin 400W being $160 is an insane deal if you don’t mind modding it out of the box for usability

[steel umbra]

btw i’ve got a 640x512 thermal scope

goin to modify it to a thermal camera at some point

[peak knot]

5 figure camera I take it

[steel umbra]

actually it was just €600

[peak knot]

My thermal camera ran me about $400

Being a 256x192 but it has a ton of features

[steel umbra]

if you want a cheap thermal camera make one yourself, calibrate it yourself

640x512 modules start at about $700

[peak knot]

Yeah I wanted something off the shelf that I knew is calibrated well

Since I use it for repair work

[steel umbra]

high resolution thermal cameras are insanely pricey

[peak knot]

Yeah

Was looking at a uni-t 640x512 that was going for $9k

But I’m broke

And only dream of having money like that for equipment that good

Hell my home lab while very capable is under $2k total

[steel umbra]

i also wonder why they charge such premium

decently calibrated lower res thermal cameras don’t cost nearly as much

[peak knot]

Cause your paying for the software and support after purchase also

Those are the cameras companies buy and are sending in for yearly calibrations and such

[dark bronze]

So has anyone looked at the new FW Guide for LM replacement?
https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Liquid+Metal+->+PTM+7958/402?lang=en

[outer marlin]

ik this is ltt but i just posted a youtube video and my comment section is forced off (my comments are on and my videos are listed as not for kids)

[woven imp]

Yall, is this A2000 worth it for $150, and without this extra pcie power, can it only draw power from the board (70 watt) or will problems occur. Got a 180watt psu

Here is the details:
RTX A2000 with shuntmod
RTX A2000 6gb for sale.
12V shunt modified so you can exceed the 70w limit. 120-140w can be connected to extra PCIe power.
Copper plate mod on memory
New fan with new stock
Custom backplate
Awesome GPU for SFF

[dark comet]

Is the 7800xt better in terms of going for a more budget gpu than the 9070xt?

[elder quarry]

Depends if msrp and budget. By more budget, do you mean “higher budget”

[elder quarry]

Noicd

[pulsar crypt]

what mic should i get for recoring youtube videos that us usb connection

[next adder]

I’m wanting to get better cooling for my i9 13900k is the Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 going to cool it cause I already have another 360mm rad but I’m getting throttling in cineabench

[brittle lichen]

hey guys so I know there are issues with ram on amd platforms, I currently have 32gb and I was going to upgrade to 96 gb, I know you typically dont want to run 4 slots on amd boards, but having more memory wont be an issue right?

[peak knot]

no

your gonna always see it "throttling" as the default behavior is to boost to 95C and then throttle itself

its just how that generation of cpus work

[steel umbra]

which thermo camera

[peak knot]

topdon TC005

https://www.amazon.com/TOPDON-TC005-Resolution-Temperature-15°C-550°C/dp/B0BZBZDJV2/ref=asc_df_B0BZBZDJV2?

[steel umbra]

oh dat one

[peak knot]

its pretty solid

[steel umbra]

i probably asked but i forgot what’s the reading accuracy?

[peak knot]

Calibration Temperature Measurement Distance
0.2m~5m
Identification Distance
0.1~40m
Recognition Distance
40~80m
Detection Distance
80~320m
Measurement Accuracy
±2°C or ±2%
Infrared Light Resolution
256x192
Focal Range
3.2mm
FOV
52.5°X39.5°
Spectral Range
8 – 14μm
NETD
<40mK
Temperature Resolution
0.1℃
Frame Rate
20Hz

[steel umbra]

yeah but from what you can tell how’s the accuracy

[peak knot]

as long as you put in the tertiary information correctly its pretty good as long as the emissivity is set right

like if your wanting a very accurate reading you have to put in distance, emissivity, ambient temperature and such

but if it leave it stock its still pretty accurate +/- a couple degrees

[thorn pewter]

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/104279/amds-next-gen-zen-6-desktop-cpu-leak-over-6ghz-clock-speeds-with-tsmc-n2x-process-node/index.html

[steel umbra]

yeah but sometimes it’s still off for example sometimes thermal cameras have poor uniformity

[peak knot]

this one allows you to manually calibrate the uniformity and every 15 or so seconds or if it detects massive thermal changes it will shut off the shutter for a few frames and calibrate off of black again

like you can hear the cameras shutter activate to calibrate the camera

[steel umbra]

yes

how’s the stock uniformity when you set the settings right?

[peak knot]

my biggest gripe is its boot up time, it runs off of a custom linux version so it has to boot that and then it takes a couple seconds to calibrate before then

[steel umbra]

my unit of ht-203u has cold spot as you can see on the top right corner

[steel umbra]

looks good

[cunning flume]

is lossles scaling a scam?

[steel umbra]

it’s not a scam but it’s overhyped

[cunning flume]

is the fps increase even noticable?

[steel umbra]

yes but the hit to quality is also noticeable unlike other upscalers which handle artifacts better

just use fsr or XeSS

[cunning flume]

does it work on non steam games?

[steel umbra]

i believe

but as i said it’s not worth the money

there are free upscalers that are better

[cunning flume]

i got a a realy bad pc its more affordable than upgrading it

[steel umbra]

how many fps

specs?

[cunning flume]

32gb ddr4 i3 9100f and gtx 1650

[steel umbra]

which games

9100f yeah… rip

[cunning flume]

im getting around 33 fps on read dead its barely playable

[steel umbra]

i would save for a better pc rather than spending on lossless

[cunning flume]

its a temporary solution till i upgrade

[steel umbra]

just use XeSS or fsr

[steel umbra]

use other upscalers

1650 supports them

[cunning flume]

which ones?

[steel umbra]

XeSS and fsr 3.0

[cunning flume]

are they free ?

[cunning flume]

i cant use fsr it only for amd

[steel umbra]

it’s not

that’s the newer upscalers

fsr 4 that is

[dark comet]

Lower budget, $1000 cad for gpu is a lil too much

[steel umbra]

i wouldn’t be recommending fsr and xess if your gpu didn’t support them

[calm idol]

amd fsr3 and below can be used on pretty much every card, same as intel xess. only fsr4 and all dlss versions have vendor restrictions

[steel umbra]

fsr3 >> lossless

[cunning flume]

this?

[steel umbra]

free > $$$

[steel umbra]

there are tutorials

[calm idol]

yes, but you dont need to download anything. most games come with it already, you just need to enable it

[cunning flume]

u sure i can use it on gtx gpu

[calm idol]

yes

[steel umbra]

y e s

unless you have some gtx 260

maybe~

you could theoretically run fsr even on that

[cunning flume]

does it have delay?

[steel umbra]

with some 🔧

[steel umbra]

lossless doesn’t?

[cunning flume]

like is will delay be noticable

[calm idol]

stop talking and just try it out

[cunning flume]

what do i do with this tutorials dont explain anything

[calm idol]

read #tech-chat-1 message

[empty quartz]

If it supports dx11/12 it will probably work on fsr

Tbh, xess>fsr

Slightly worse perf, but much better visuals

[calm idol]

^ for xess vs fsr3 in low res atleast

[cunning flume]

im getting around 100 fps but i have little screen frezes for half a second

[empty quartz]

When i was comparing the two at 1080p in cyberpunk 2077, xess looked better

Both at quality preset

[limpid kernel]

chat is $230 AUD for pc assembly + windows key a scam

wait nvm if i bought a windows key on my own it would be $200 this shit is a deal

[calm idol]

prefer using xess on the steamdeck in infinite money. using the native res fsr for war thunder though on desktop (1080p), didnt like xess as much there. not using fsr or xess in any other game though on desktop, so pretty limited knowledge atm

[random gyro]

Yippee
Yippee
Yippee
Yippee

Hehehe

Woah

[limpid kernel]

alr it's $330 AUD for Win11 Pro key, Driver Installation, BIOS update, and assembly. i still don't know if this is a scam.

[balmy tapir]

its a bit high, but not crazy

although you could really do that all yourself

[cunning flume]

is windows 11 worth it?

[balmy tapir]

compared to what lol

[calm idol]

if you have the option to exclude the windows key id choose that. ltt made a vid about different ways to activate windows. personally still recommend the free option from it

[limpid kernel]

For me it is. I need Adobe for school. I'm gonna be dual booting with Linux.

[limpid kernel]

Yeah, I'm probably going to exclude it - which leaves me with $200 for everything, the same as JW, but faster.

i have seen some custom versions of windows are they actualy increasing my performance

[formal sonnet]

Sure, maybe, perhaps. EULA violations aside, custom Windows ISOs are also prime for including malicious code, such as info stealing malware, or stripping out features you might not need on day 1, but need later.

0/10 do not recommend "custom" Windows ISOs. Download the official Windows 11 image from Microsoft's website, install it with a license legally purchased from an authorized distributor (or Microsoft themselves), then modify the OS to your heart's content after installation, if you must. http://microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

[gleaming rose]

or you could pirate it

how good is a 7800xt still

Would it be able to run flight sim fine at 1440p?

[latent pasture]

yes

[hallow arrow]

ps5 slim or ps5 pro or a better pc?

specs:
rx 6500xt
ryzen 3350ge pro
16 gb ram
1tb storage

[steel umbra]

3350ge?

didn’t even know there was a 3350g and 3350ge

[limpid kernel]

I'ma just figure out how to install drivers myself and spend $150 to get it built ($50 cheaper than the alternative), and get a Windows 11 key some other way.

[steel umbra]

price?

[limpid kernel]

Means instead of $1550 to get all the parts and get it built, it's only $1500 🫠

[hallow arrow]

it was around 500€ prebuilt

[random gyro]

Who the fuck pays for windows let’s be fr

[hallow arrow]

its not very bad but its also not good i get pretty low frame rates

[steel umbra]

no

[limpid kernel]

I would if it wasn't $300 AUD for Pro and $220 for Home 💀

[formal sonnet]

Many people. It's been great to carry my Retail Windows Pro licenses from desktop to desktop PC since 2008, and from laptop to laptop since 2012. (I have 2x licenses - good for life since they're transferrable between computers.)

[hallow arrow]

what no

[random gyro]

I js have one linked to my MS account

[steel umbra]

that’s a bad price

[hallow arrow]

im not talking about buying it for 500 thats my pcs specs

[steel umbra]

for $500 you should expect a rx 5700 xt / 2060/s + ryzen 5 3600 build (atleast)

[steel umbra]

ohhh

[hallow arrow]

im saying if i should upgrade or buy a ps5

[thorn cove]

Is this an incompatibility thing between my case and motherboard?

[steel umbra]

i have professional reading skills 2000%.

[cedar hollow]

that’s an argb pin

[steel umbra]

are you just going to be gaming?

[thorn cove]

Oh really? Thanks

[formal sonnet]

That looks like an RGB plug - it does not plug into your motherboard's Front Panel IO pins. Computer case manuals from reputable manufacturers will explain what each plug is supposed to be.

[cedar hollow]

thats your FP header

[steel umbra]

argb connector, don’t connect it ro rgb header

[thorn cove]

I was looking for the front pin thing, might have gotten lost in the pit of cables sry about that

[hallow arrow]

idk but id say mostly gaming

[cedar hollow]

You’re good got nothing to apologize for

i did my fair share of stupid stuff when i first built

[thorn cove]

Fair, it’s overwhelming

[cedar hollow]

i still do stupid shit everytime i build 15 builds later actually

[robust trail]

Purchased a lifetimes worth of Windows 8 keys, still using them today 💪

[steel umbra]

what’s your motherboard model

[thorn cove]

It’s fairly old, the h110 plus from asus

[cedar hollow]

ruh roh

[steel umbra]

byte of 87

[azure topaz]

just bend it back its fine

its not twisted or anything just pointed up it seems

[cedar hollow]

a small thread from my jacket dropped from my sleeve and caught onto the pin

[azure topaz]

yuh

get some tweezers or somethin its fine

[cedar hollow]

imma try with a mechanical pencil

[azure topaz]

thats more for like pga cpus but works

[hallow arrow]

so? what should i do?

[cedar hollow]

should be okay now

[azure topaz]

literally cant even tell

[steel umbra]

may not have argb header

[cedar hollow]

nice im a pro at this

[steel umbra]

can you upgrade to a 5600 and a better gpu? what’s your motherboard and psu, case?

[hallow arrow]

motherboard is asus ex320m gaming, psu and case is some weird brand i cant find it online

[steel umbra]

what about tis one

looks slightly sus

[steel umbra]

should support 5600 then

or 5700x3d

[cunning cloud]

headphones with good mic under $60?

[cedar hollow]

ik but like when i look at it closely i don’t see anything

[steel umbra]

so it’s fine

[cedar hollow]

i know what you see though

i see it too but when i look closely it looks no diff from the rets

[near crag]

dumb question, I have a handful of USB displays that I use for flight sims

I just upgraded to an AMD platform (12700k to 9950X3D) and now whenever I connect the displays, windows won’t remember the screen orientation, and the screens seem to “reset” every few minutes which also changes the screen orientation back to the “default” landscape instead of portrait

any ideas why windows has decided to ruin my life like this?

[clear canyon]

nope and thats not an amd thing bc iv never had that issue

[cedar hollow]

Hmmm are your USB displays connected to your GPU or inboard GPU?

[clear canyon]

and I swap displays quite often due to college

[cedar hollow]

i’d connect them all to one GPU and disable the iGPU for good measure

[gleaming rose]

just finished death note

peak

absolute cinema

[steel umbra]

you forgot rtx on and goat

[near crag]

USB displays (over DisplayLink) are mostly CPU driven. They are not really bound by the system GPU

the only connection is USB, so you can’t connect them to any GPU

[young crest]

finished

[real lantern]

Thank god I’ve finally upgraded to a monitor arm my back was killing me

[real lantern]

hell yeah

[thorn cove]

Is it better for thermals to have one exhaust fan at the back of the case, or one input fan at the top or front of the case?

[gleaming rose]

thermals are more of an art than a science imo
just put fans where it looks lkke things that need air are getting cold air pushed in and warm air pushed out and then you'll be fine. fix it if it's broken

[random gyro]

anyone know how to make the download speed faster its battlenet

(tight budget) should i slap an rx 580 on my a10-9700 cpu or upgrade to a ryzen 3 3200g

[empty quartz]

Whar

[halcyon lion]

Would it be safe to use the 12v-2x6 on my PSU with an adapter to convert it into dual 8pin connectors for my GPU?

I have the NZXT C1200 PSU and it only comes with 5 PCI-E/CPU connectors and 1 12V-2x6 connector.

I have 2 RX 7900 XTs and my mobo has 2 connections for the cpu power (I have the Ryzen 9 9950x)

[empty quartz]

Why do you have 2

Amd dropped crossfire support after rx 6000 series

[plain cypress]

Whack that a 1200W only has 5x 12v connectors (aside from the fire hazard)

[empty quartz]

Im confused as to why he would waste money on 2 gpu’s that dont even support dual gpu

I don't know. You can probably adapt the cable? Thing is, I think trying to turn 12VHPWR to 8pin is a pretty rare task, so I might be a little weary of any products out there for it

[silent peak]

Ich weiß nicht. Sie können das Kabel wahrscheinlich anpassen? Ich denke, der Versuch, 12VHPWR bis 8Pin zu werden

[latent pasture]

engrish

[empty quartz]

@halcyon lion do you mean pcie 6pin?

Or 12VHPWR

[rapid gazelle]

is buying two sticks of 32gb to make 64 good?

[empty quartz]

Depends on what platform

Although, For the most part yes

[halcyon lion]

The 12VHPWR. I just wrote it how the psu has it on the box

[latent pasture]

that's the recommended

[empty quartz]

Does the psu not come with daisy chain pcie cables?

[rapid gazelle]

alr i just wanted to know if its like not goijg to affect it in any way, it says 6400mhz so

[latent pasture]

what cpu
amd doesn't like above 6000

for any size really not just 64gb or more

[empty quartz]

Unless you’re running 4 dimms

[rapid gazelle]

its the 9800x3d

My buddy has a ASRock B450M Pro4 2.0 and on their website is says compatible with 32gb @ 3200 with XMP but when I installed it, did not post. I went to g.skill's compatibility checker and it doesnt recommend their ripjaw V 3200 cl16 32gb set which is what i tried installing

kill me now

[latent pasture]

cooler is enough for stock perf but might get noisy under multi core workload, why not go am5 and r5 7600 or something
horrendous 7600xt price tho

[rapid gazelle]

so is the 6400mhz fine with the 9800x3d or should i lower to only 6000mhz

[empty quartz]

Water cooling was free

is a $700 7900XT overpriced or is that a good price

[halcyon lion]

It doesn't unfortunately.

The first I got as an RMA from a 7900 GRE. 2nd card I recently bought, comes with Monster hunter special.

1 card is for the host pc for editing 4k footage and gaming. The 2nd card will be used to split between 4 different VMs, so having the 20gigs of VRAM for each is good for my usage of having friends being able to play games on their VMs

[gleaming timber]

same question for a 5070, they are $700 at micro center

[empty quartz]

I suggest trying to get 2 daisy chain pcie cables then, that’ll be your best bet

[rigid shale]

buying a 5070 is kinda pointless

[gleaming timber]

what about the 7900xt

[rigid shale]

decent unless you really like raytracing

[halcyon lion]

As in get an adapter for the cable the psu came with to be able to daisy chain?

[daring flint]

Way too short for a bigass card (thanks Aorus), anyone know a link for a longer one that’s safe to use for a 5090? Preferably a white one.

[gleaming timber]

what’s better b580 or this?

[real lantern]

7700XT because it's 500$ card the B580 is a 250$ dollar card....

they're in 2 different price categories

[gleaming timber]

should i return my b580 and get a 7700xt

[latent gull]

Isn’t the 7700xt like twice the price of a b580?

[gleaming timber]

i’m just looking to get the most performant card for 1440p that i can without spending $900 on a 5080 lol

the b580 is alright

[latent gull]

You get what you pay for. The b580 is a cheap card, it’s fine, but it’s cheap.

[gleaming timber]

yea that’s why i’m looking for an upgrade

[idle hound]

hey anyone know about a "Intel Core i5-1350K

[gleaming timber]

don’t know if it’s worth switching over to the 7700xt over the B580

[latent gull]

If you want more performance, pay for more performance. Idk what you want.

[gleaming timber]

help making a decision clearly

[rapid gazelle]

alr is good build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xVWgpK

[thorn pewter]

Nah I just bought a slushy dude

Jk it's good

Am so happy

[gleaming timber]

tbh i should’ve just gone with the am5 platform

kinda feel like returning my cpu, mobo ram and gpu for am5

cpu and mobo for am5*

[sharp ivy]

My 7700k performs great but I don't think I'd go for anything less powerful

In a gaming rig

[wispy thunder]

performs great is a stretch

I used to have a 7700k. It was slow as a snail in comparison to even a thin and light laptop

[real lantern]

a 7700 is good not really great

[sinful cobalt]

of course the 7700xt slams the b580, its 2 different class of cards

[wheat field]

Ew

[random gyro]

guys i want to get a 9000 series AMD card but none of them have 24GB of VRAM so is a 7900XTX the way to go

[leaden pilot]

Is there anyone i can call in here that can help me troubleshoot my network adapter issue by chance?

[formal sonnet]

#1027757333117415424 is your best bet for troubleshooting situations like these. Create a post including your full system specs (make and model of all parts), a description of the issue, any troubleshooting steps you've tried, and in this case, how your computer connects to the internet (wired or WiFi), then patiently await a response from someone willing to volunteer their time to help.

[bronze summit]

Oops someone got in

[latent gull]

Sorry that was me

[stiff marlin]

Hey my motherboard has a m.2 fan should I just disable it?

I have a Samsung 990 but I doubt it’s gonna get hot or anything the heat sink is also huge

[floral pecan]

Does anyone remember the name of that circle copper tower cooler that makes its round on reddit every now and again?

That kinda looks like this?

[heavy knot]

A fan?

[floral pecan]

Bad pic

Found something similar

I see something like this on reddit every now and again but I can’t remember the name of the cooler

[wispy thunder]

Zalman flower?

these?

[floral pecan]

That the name! Thanks!

[wispy thunder]

lol np

[swift thorn]

that looks like a stock cooler stripped down tbh

[formal sonnet]

NO. BAD. MY HANDS.

The one on the right has drawn so much blood from my hands. Tis a good cooler though.

[steel umbra]

copper

[graceful girder]

[heavy knot]

Microsoft Defender pushing my CPU to max lmaooo

[steel umbra]

yeah some coolers especially with poorly or cheaply designed mounting are like that

you’ll cut yourself 50 times more when working with coolers inside cases

[heavy knot]

I cut myself on an IO shield before.

1cm deep cut

[formal sonnet]

Those Zalman coolers were mid-range at the time. Their fins are just sometimes sharp if you have to reach in beside them because of the case you're working in.

[limpid dune]

pushing my TRS-80 to 100% by trying to render a circle

[steel umbra]

oof

i’d btw watch for food cans

never underestimate how deep they can cut if you don’t pay attention

[steel umbra]

[rustic python]

Hi, does running video games on an external SSD make it slower or anything? (sorry if this sounds stupid)

[limpid dune]

this mf overclocked at 0.0024GHz 🔥

this will be Intel in 1982 🤯

[steel umbra]

yes you can run games off external ssd

[rustic python]

okay kewl ty

[heavy knot]

He was asking if it would make it slower lmao

[limpid dune]

the framerates will be the same but load times might be a little longer, and maybe stutters when the game tries to load more scenery

[rustic python]

ahh okay cheers

[elder quarry]

You probably won’t notice anything

[steel umbra]

no, it depends on the model

[graceful girder]

I saw some of these ancients at school

[steel umbra]

if you just use an external ssd that’s not garbage won’t tell a difference (under casual use cases such as gaming, browsing, booting up)

[stoic nova]

would avoid with older games or esport games. Totally fine for everything else

[kindred halo]

I mean.. That's why I recommended it? It's one of the best 7th gens you can get

[graceful girder]

also other things like an IBM

[rustic python]

is crucial alright?

[stoic nova]

older games meaning lots of load screens, esport games meaning, the same thing and a cat yanking it

[kindred halo]

They're good

Pretty respected storage & ram manufacturer

It's as slow as your connection is, btw

Make sure you get a USB 3 cable

And plug it into the USB 3 slot on either the front or back

The little slot inside the port is blue as opposed to black, usually, which is how you differentiate them

[limpid dune]

this laptop/tablet/thing, a TRS-80 M100, has an Intel 8085 in it, from 79... the thing is more than double my age 😭

when I tell people "I have a fourty year old Amiga" people sometimes think I mean a mexican cougar, but it's actually an old Commodore

[graceful girder]

blushing incognito lol

[heavy knot]

you should also get a gigabyte PSU

[steel umbra]

though older titles were accounting for slower storage as ssds weren’t as common

[kindred halo]

Aren't like most of gigabyte's entry's (atleast the budget ones) equivalent to bombs

Or highly stable bombs

[heavy knot]

that's the joke

[kindred halo]

Lmao, fair enough

[limpid dune]

I should put the 👉 👈 fingers under it

[hollow creek]

[rustic python]

my one uses these with a sata

or are you talking about something else

[steel umbra]

msi had to release a garbage psu too

abnl

[stoic nova]

in a perfect world I would agree with you, but then you're reminded starfield has just as many load screens as Oblivion did.

[hollow creek]

had to sounds very threatening lmao

[kindred halo]

An external SDD usually uses USB as opposed to SATA (the one you sent), but, that just means it'll be faster

[heavy knot]

i'm sorry, i couldn't post gif properly with text

that was out of pocket

[rustic python]

ohhhhh awesome

[kindred halo]

The SATA cable can transfer 6Gb per second as opposed to 4.8Gb for USB

[hollow creek]

thought you liked gigabyte so much there lmao

[graceful girder]

https://tenor.com/view/add-to-favourites-gif-17225530979352025795

[kindred halo]

Which SSD are you planning to get btw

[rustic python]

its just some 500gb crucial sata ssd

[kindred halo]

You might need to get an enclosure if it doesn't have one

[heavy knot]

get a TB

[kindred halo]

They probably just want to download a few games to easily plug and play (with the PC off) whenever, terabyte isn't really necessary

[hollow creek]

or alternatively:

512gb nvme sdd > external 10gb enclosure > copy game > SPEEEEDD

*this requires usb 3.0 but still, SPEEEE

[wispy thunder]

NO REAL

they're so cheaply made so they're sharp

but at the same time they performed good and damn are they sexy

[graceful girder]

Whenever I speak like this about computers at school my friends call me computer gay

Was once caressing an old IBM and they gave me a look

[kindred halo]

Compugay

[heavy knot]

i never get viruses, becaues they're gay, and i am very straight

[kindred halo]

I was gonna say something but I don't know if it'd be cringe, stupid, or both

[heavy knot]

say it lmao

it's 1am LTT tech chat

[kindred halo]

PathOwOgen :3c

[heavy knot]

ok kinda wishing you didn't say anything

[kindred halo]

Told ya

[graceful girder]

[hollow creek]

lmao the instant regret

[kindred halo]

Have this image of the cheap cpu cooler I bought as compensation

[graceful girder]

why the RGB?

was it cheaper with it?

[kindred halo]

Don't ask me

It was the default option

[graceful girder]

[kindred halo]

9.50, second cheapest was an ✨incompatible fan ✨

[kindred halo]

It's saved into my keyboard's auto prediction

Last time I said it was 2021

Which, to say the least, was an odd time

[kindred halo]

(LGA 1200 stock cooler for 4 dollars)

[graceful girder]

I have usernames I haven't pinged in months saved

[graceful girder]

ok that's fair enough

[kindred halo]

I have usernames I don't even remember saved

And sometimes, usernames from my old PF Comp league pop up when writing stuff

This keyboard knows things I don't

[graceful girder]

let's just hope it doesn't have passwords hidden in there

[kindred halo]

Nope

Okay there's one

But it's for my war thunder account, which has 2FA

Let's see what other stuff it has saved...

[graceful girder]

is it unique to the account?

[kindred halo]

Yes

[kindred halo]

Okay I found a pretty fun one

[graceful girder]

[kindred halo]

"Youwu"
-Last time used was last year :3c

[graceful girder]

[kindred halo]

I've got like 4 variations of passwords for my main accounts and then it just delves into nonsense for the rest

[graceful girder]

why?

[kindred halo]

I don't know

[graceful girder]

i got 5 variation for each of my 4 passwords so 20

[kindred halo]

There's one recurring (thrice) password with modifications to it, and the rest are tanks

But my Facebook account has a fairly odd naming scheme lmao

[graceful girder]

i delete my facebook account often so smetimes i forget

[kindred halo]

20 passwords, would be a pain in the ass to brute force lmao

[kindred halo]

I just use my account to browse marketplace and look at memes

[graceful girder]

and as long as ik the source password it's easy for me

[kindred halo]

The pfp for it supports that idea anyway

[kindred halo]

I forget mine often and try every variation

[graceful girder]

i create an account every time i wanna look at marketplace

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[graceful girder]

i only forget when i haven't logged in, in a long time

[kindred halo]

-Said pfp

[graceful girder]

which is only spotify since my browser autodeletes all cookies when i close it

[kindred halo]

You should probably write it down

[graceful girder]

Nah, for now I remember it

[kindred halo]

Also have one of FBMP's wonders
(USD)

[graceful girder]

it only has 5 possible variations so

[graceful girder]

the cooler?

[kindred halo]

No no

[frosty prism]

is this cooler enough for an i5 14600kf (my budget is super tight)

[kindred halo]

The guy just sent stock images of the 5070Ti

[kindred halo]

How much in US

[graceful girder]

ah, a scam

[kindred halo]

Mhm

[frosty prism]

40 usd

[graceful girder]

too much

[frosty prism]

why does the price matter im asking about the actual physical cooler

[kindred halo]

Look for a thermalright peerless assassin

[kindred halo]

For your budget

[kindred halo]

Our market is odd

[frosty prism]

yeah this cooler is already in my budget

[graceful girder]

then get a better one for the price

[kindred halo]

Literally what I am trying to tell him lol

The peerless assassin averages from 35-45

And is one of the best air coolers out there

[frosty prism]

well all cpu coolers here are kind of over priced

[kindred halo]

Our market is a bit iffy
You've got stuff like, and 7-8th gens for upwards of 90 US, then there's 3090s averaging between 450-500

EVGA cards primarily btw

[hollow creek]

you could try chinese brand 240mm rads instead. that would perform very well at like 50 dollars

[frosty prism]

https://www.games-store.ae/categories/قطع-للكمبيوترات/مبردات-و-مراوح

[graceful girder]

our market is full of people that think they can make a profit from buying off aliexpress

[kindred halo]

How much is the assassin for 172 in US

[frosty prism]

here if you can find an air cooler for under 145 thats better than the one i showed i'll appreciate it

[kindred halo]

Yalla senye

[graceful girder]

also people that flip pc's for WAY more than they're worth

[frosty prism]

?

[kindred halo]

Arabic written in English

[kindred halo]

Anyway I just found a cooler for 99 lmao

[kindred halo]

Sometimes scamming you out of your money, sometimes borderline scamming themselves

[hollow creek]

https://www.games-store.ae/categories/deepcool-aio-liquid-cooler-le520-a-rgb-black

if you can , get this instead

[kindred halo]

@graceful girder
But there's also a RAMPANT problem of people not caring about their PSU quality

[graceful girder]

and every once in a harvest moon, a logical person selling at half the price cuz they know it's used

[frosty prism]

way too expensive, could defo get it in the future also I said under 145 🙏

[kindred halo]

There's one for 99

[graceful girder]

true, they just try to make number go up cuz people are into that

[frosty prism]

yeah i had that one picked out first but then some people here told me to invest in a dual tower for long term better temps

[hollow creek]

yeah i understand, you can try peerless assassin. those are the best at budget

[kindred halo]

Looks like none other than that for under 145

It'll work, but I just recommend paying the extra for a peerless

[bronze jay]

I wish I could plug my computer into my eye socket

[kindred halo]

Can't forget the mandatory RGB strips

[hollow creek]

if you've played cyberpunk, id rather not tbh

[frosty prism]

the peerless ones are more expensive than the 145 cooler lmao since all of them are from amazon

and our amazons are usually over priced by 10 - 20 usd which when switched to my currency has a massive effect

[kindred halo]

Dude, literally less than 10 dollar difference

40 v 46

[frosty prism]

for you its basically nothing for us its a difference

[hollow creek]

conversion gets ugly lol

[graceful girder]

that don't even work when they get to u

[frosty prism]

its fine this cooler is going to keep me going on decent temps so im fine

[kindred halo]

Brother I am poor as shit aswell but I know when a price difference is low enough

[frosty prism]

and if i need to upgrade in the future then i will

[kindred halo]

Buy the 145 cooler ig lmao

يعني يا دمي شو بدك إيني إلك

[hollow creek]

theres always undervolt and power limit

[graceful girder]

tf is Kenneth doing

[hollow creek]

i wouldn't worry too much about intel
still easier to cool compared to amd. a whole other fiasco lmao

[kindred halo]

Whar

[frosty prism]

do i need to undervolt with this cooler?

[hollow creek]

you'd have to benchmark to find out

[frosty prism]

all i asked was, is this cooler enough to put into my pc and have decent temps

[kindred halo]

It will or won't depending on... Quite literally everything else

[graceful girder]

look at server

[kindred halo]

If your GPU is horrendous you'll get a bottleneck and 99% utilisation on the cpu and heat it up

If your case is a hotbox you'll get shit temps no matter what

Gibberish talk /s

[frosty prism]

3080

[hollow creek]

say that cooler can handle 250w, and your cpu pumps 200 *allegedly,
technically, it will be fine
but at what cost? fan speed and noise

same case for everything else
one thing affects the other
there is no possible correct answer at one go

[kindred halo]

Okay nvm no bottleneck, atleast enough to cause major utilisation problems

[frosty prism]

is that a hotbox

[kindred halo]

Budget build
Fishtank

[stoic nova]

priorities?

[frosty prism]

yk whats crazy i got that case for super cheap

bro the case was 64 usd

[stoic nova]

ss

[kindred halo]

Shit's gonna disassemble like Lego /s 💔

[frosty prism]

235 aed = 64 usd

[frosty prism]

what.

[kindred halo]

It won't I am just kidding

Build quality won't be the best though

[frosty prism]

ion really care as long as the case remains standing we're good

$64

@kindred halo so keeping my cpu cooler gpu and case in mind how are the temps going to be

[kindred halo]

Oh my god 💔
There's still lots of other factors

[stoic nova]

as good as your ears can tolerate

[frosty prism]

i know im just asking if you'd assume

[kindred halo]

Assuming you have decent knowledge of how to upkeep your system

[frosty prism]

i just dont want my pc to become a jet engine

[kindred halo]

Around 70-85ish?

[kindred halo]

It will in noise

[frosty prism]

and idling or watching youtube?

[stoic nova]

you bought the most turbulent case style one could buy then

[frosty prism]

what case style would be better lmao

[stoic nova]

front to back atx

[kindred halo]

Idle maybe 50-55, youtube on basic 1080p won't do much

[frosty prism]

50 while idling is crazy

[frosty prism]

i do NOT want an atx case

but the case i have right now is basically an atx case

[hollow creek]

amd idles at 55-60
this is completely normal 😂

[kindred halo]

^

[frosty prism]

amd is not intel though

[kindred halo]

💔💔💔 This mf

[frosty prism]

im learning buddy be slow with me

i have barely any knowledge when it comes to cases and cooling

[hollow creek]

it really is normal
any mid range high end chips would be uh, somewhat hot even at idle

[kindred halo]

Well you are slow, that's one /s

[hollow creek]

if youre used to budget chips, it takes time to learn

[kindred halo]

But you got a bad case design for airflow

And a questionable dual tower cooler

[graceful girder]

[hollow creek]

not unless, AIO

[stoic nova]

oh man he's air cooling in that case?

[hollow creek]

[kindred halo]

Mhm

[stoic nova]

oh fuck nah..

[kindred halo]

And a shit brand too

[stoic nova]

my man fumbled.

[kindred halo]

"Gamemax"

[frosty prism]

yeah for like 6 months, then buying an aio probably

[kindred halo]

Btw the difference between they company's entry and a peerless assassin is 6 dollars

[kindred halo]

.. Just use the stock RM1

You can use that 40 US to buy an AIO quicker

Then your fishtank won't be a liability for your cpu

[frosty prism]

can you send me the link

[kindred halo]

It comes with your cpu

For free

Unless whatever asshats are providing these parts sell them separately

[hollow creek]

eh 14600k doesn't even come with a cooler

[kindred halo]

Lmao

[frosty prism]

14600k has no cooler built in

[frosty prism]

yeah

[hollow creek]

any K cpus dont come with a cooler to be fair

[kindred halo]

Forgot that Intel just doesn't try with the later K CPUs

Yeah tbh just bite the bullet and get a peerless assassin, it'll last you long enough to buy a high end AIO & fan packs for your case

[frosty prism]

thing is my budget is very tight so can i maybe get the cooler i sent earlier and just get a aio like this one later on

[kindred halo]

There's a xigmatek FENIX for 245

[frosty prism]

alright thank you, but can i do what i said?

[kindred halo]

It'll work, ig

[graceful girder]

How do you filter on that site

[frosty prism]

you cant you just look

[graceful girder]

awful website

[frosty prism]

never denied

the prices however? amazing

[graceful girder]

never said u did

[graceful girder]

my cpu gets 37c with 40% fan speed 100% load

i think i could do a very bad thing experiment with it

[tidal geyser]

dylan

[raven sluice]

I see

why does he have a LinkedIn profile pic

#opentowork

folks at Linkedin still think hashtags are cool like it's 2014

[rocky shuttle]

Its pretty much the standard

[tidal geyser]

people also cant do idle

[rocky shuttle]

Most fan curves ale done in this way at least recently, when idling the fan spins slowly to reduce noise and only kicks in when there's a higher load on the CPU

Applies to gpus too, some people worry that their GPU is broken cuz fans dont spin, while this is just a 0 RPM mode to reduce noise

[tidal geyser]

pwm headers on the cpu fan has been a thing for like 20 years

but yeah most gpus especially now a days have a zero rpm mode

[raven sluice]

my fans don't spin at all when my gpu is idle

[mortal mantle]

why does Windows nuke redists to update them

[raven sluice]

no one knows

[graceful girder]

https://youtu.be/4DKLA7w9eeA

maybe i should get sata

[tidal geyser]

sata is fine but nvme is the way

[graceful girder]

i have an old ddr3 motherboard so how about that till i upgrade that

sata is like half the price

[untold dragon]

do you have a ssd?

[graceful girder]

on my laptop yes, which is what i actually use

tho it's sata

[tidal geyser]

nop unless its used or something they are really close

but sata is fine anyways

[graceful girder]

my motherboard doesn't support it tho

i wanna get it when it's time to upgrade

[tidal geyser]

:3

[graceful girder]

lemme check

[tidal geyser]

pcie to m.2

[mellow cairn]

It's because you are running the finest ewaste available

[graceful girder]

ik

[tidal geyser]

funny thing there are a good few boards that do ddr3 but also have a nvme m.2 slot

i think a good few z97 boards had a m.2 slot

but uhm it was like pcie 2.0 x2

oh right sorry

[graceful girder]

costs about as much as the drive

[latent pasture]

just get a sata ssd bruh

[tidal geyser]

well its not part of the rendering piple line but now with texture streaming it is starting to matter a tiny bit for some stuff

[tidal geyser]

what 256GB ssd

anyways go sata

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1222666666308010124/1346629332327727167/attachment.gif

[latent pasture]

even in the games that have direct storage it doesnt have a significant effect

[graceful girder]

yea, seems like the best option

[tidal geyser]

but if possible i would way rather do nvme then sata for anything modern

prices are close while more and more motherboards are cutting down on sata ports

[rigid fjord]

if you're referring to direct storage, many of the games that use that feature lose performance with it

[tidal geyser]

no texture streaming

[tidal geyser]

how big is the ssd

[tidal geyser]

its region locked

[graceful girder]

not an ssd, cheap ugreen adaptor

[rigid fjord]

this lets you use an m.2 sata and m.2 nvme at the same time tbf

[graceful girder]

strange

[tidal geyser]

the ssd you plan on buying going with this, what size is the plan

[rigid fjord]

nope

[graceful girder]

500GB

[tidal geyser]

i am using a VPN

[tidal geyser]

go sata

[rigid fjord]

i'm not, so it might be your vpn causing an issue

[tidal geyser]

500GB just takes up a m.2 slot on a modern pc without doing much

[graceful girder]

cheapest one

no tbw mentioned

[tidal geyser]

yolo

[graceful girder]

yolo

[latent pasture]

latest sata 3 controller cuz they havent had a new one in like a decade /s

[graceful girder]

sata 3 is pretty good

[tidal geyser]

o you are going to love pcie 4.0

[tidal geyser]

tis like the speed of usb 3.0 5Gb

something that has been around for a lONG time now

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

[graceful girder]

yea

[tidal geyser]

[graceful girder]

I'll work towards getting it

[tidal geyser]

[graceful girder]

@tidal geyser how's gen 3

[tidal geyser]

still way faster then sata but just go sata ssd its fine even if bigger number it does not mean better

at least a lot better

[tidal geyser]

what will that ddr3 pc be used for

[graceful girder]

gaming

[tidal geyser]

2d?

[graceful girder]

honestly idek if I'll end up using it

[graceful girder]

nope

i use my laptop for that

[tidal geyser]

do not spend any real amount of money on a ddr3 pc

in like 2 years we will see consumer computers using ddr6 by the look of it

[graceful girder]

thing is i already have it and wanna slowly add parts till it's a new pc

[tidal geyser]

you cant

anyways just sell it and buy something modern

[graceful girder]

sell it where tho...

[tidal geyser]

ebay

facebook marketplace

local used sites

[graceful girder]

i have 2 options
-fb marketplace
-cash crusaders(a company that buys and sells used things)

ill just sell it to cash crusaders

[tidal geyser]

[mellow cairn]

This comparison doesn't matter though

[graceful girder]

why not?

[tidal geyser]

ram

[graceful girder]

bottleneck?

[mellow cairn]

Because if you don't need more than 600mb/s in your application........

Also diminishing returns

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/frustrated-strangle-stressed-gif-4851012

[raven sluice]

guys rate my pc

[tidal geyser]

tbf in the case of just raw storage transfer speeds there are bottlenecks

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cheese-slap-cat-cheese-cats-gif-22419517

[mellow cairn]

0/10

[graceful girder]

gaming?

[raven sluice]

alright thanks

[mellow cairn]

Yes.

[raven sluice]

rate my SoC?

can I give you the specs of my fridge

[mellow cairn]

I doubt you even know

[graceful girder]

what if im transferring a lot of data frequently

[mellow cairn]

... To where.

[raven sluice]

I'm pretty sure it's a Snapdragon

[graceful girder]

to different drives

[fickle ivy]

is it worth getting quest pro controllers for beat saber? i find my quest 3 controllers lose tracking ALOT and it takes like 5 seconds for me to get them to track again

[tidal geyser]

why

[mellow cairn]

.... You're not.

[graceful girder]

i am

[tidal geyser]

size?

and again why

[graceful girder]

32gb is my current limit

and i'd rather not say

[tidal geyser]

o my

[mellow cairn]

Is it because you have tiny drives and you waste a lot of time fucking around with stupid shit?

[tidal geyser]

looks like it

[raven sluice]

that's only the theoretical speed

[graceful girder]

wha?

not to my drives

[mellow cairn]

It's the bus speed for both

[raven sluice]

manufacturers don't always comply to those speeds

[mellow cairn]

What? You said "what if I transfer a lot of data".... What the fuck are you talking about

[tidal geyser]

dis is what i have of hardware i can remeber

[graceful girder]

to other people's drives, frequently

[mellow cairn]

..... They absolutely do comply with those speeds. But the drives may not be fast enough to fill the bus.

[raven sluice]

example, I have a usb1 port on my tv, usb1 is rated for 400mA max on charging. It was charging my phone at over 1300 mA

explain that

[fickle ivy]

Because they have self tracking they wouldn't lose tracking right?

[tidal geyser]

its not using usb 1.0

[raven sluice]

believe me, it's usb 1

[tidal geyser]

its not

[grave obsidian]

no am5

[raven sluice]

it says so on the TV's manual

[mellow cairn]

.... It's because that is not even close to the same thing as pci express bus speeds

[raven sluice]

and even the colour code

[tidal geyser]

das is my own computa and das is not going on sale any time soon

[mellow cairn]

And there's no way the manual could be wrong about something like that

[raven sluice]

well usb1 is the white one right?

[tidal geyser]

if anything its 2.0

[mellow cairn]

No.

[tidal geyser]

no

[raven sluice]

2 is grey, and 3 is blue

[mellow cairn]

Colour doesn't indicate shit.

[raven sluice]

well it says so on the manual

[mellow cairn]

Well, sorry it is indicative but there is no spec.

[graceful girder]

Here's the price differene btw

[fickle ivy]

oh nevermind they are 500 fucking dollars, ridiculous, almost as much as the headset itself

[mellow cairn]

Yes, but the complexity of USB standards isn't something you bother going into in a TV manual.

[tidal geyser]

you can make the port what ever color you want

[mellow cairn]

Not to mention that I don't know the charging protocol or lack thereof your phone is using

[raven sluice]

it's not about the colour

[tidal geyser]

its how you use it

[frail delta]

Shush you don’t know anything about transferring data

[hazy lion]

The colour is literally just a general "hey it could be this", like if I have a yellow USB port, I'm like oh thats probably a decent charging port

[frail delta]

I have never seen a yellow USB port

[tidal geyser]

i have seen MANY

[raven sluice]

also, whenever I plug in anything in that usb port, it shows up as "usb 1.0"

[mellow cairn]

The most important thing I learned about data is to never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives flying down the freeway

[raven sluice]

even if it's 2.0

[tidal geyser]

you do know what the b650 live mixer is

[hazy lion]

That good old pigeon thing that went arond haha

[frail delta]

RFC1149 🙏

[hazy lion]

I also have a weird light light blue USB port that I honestly don't know what it specfically does evne though I could probably just read the motherboard sheet

[tidal geyser]

faster usb 3.0

[hollow creek]

ah yes the pegion protocol that actually made it into formal syllabus just for the memes

[mellow cairn]

RFC 1217!

[hazy lion]

Why read my manual when I got sim

[raven sluice]

https://www.leroymerlin.it/prodotti/asrock-b650-livemixer-94292792.html?Megaboost

leroy merlin sells motherboards now?

[mellow cairn]

The RFC predates the concept of memes

[hollow creek]

yes of course

[frail delta]

No I don’t know random motherboards

[tidal geyser]

NUC

most of my NUCs have le yellow port even my monitor

[frail delta]

I don’t own any NUCs

The one I did have didn’t have a yellow port

It did have a stupid fucking skull LED

[tidal geyser]

xd

anyways the yellow usb port has been around a long time and been on a good few motherboards and devices

[mellow cairn]

I have 18.6tb free space.

[tidal geyser]

hello shredded

[tidal geyser]

that is more usable storage then i have on my pc and server combined

[vestal roost]

help! i just installed a 5700x3d cpu from a 5600x, I always enable PBO in any cpu that i use. but the PBO settings not appearing in AMD overclocking settings. GA AX370 DS3H is my motherboard btw.

[tidal geyser]

do not use pbo

since that cpu cant even OC

[mellow cairn]

The server is using 48tb raw storage in 2x raidz2, for a total of 36tb usable

[tidal geyser]

anyways DO NOT use ryzen master

[vestal roost]

i dont use ryzen master

only bios

[tidal geyser]

anyways you cant evne OC

[vestal roost]

so to be more precise OC and PBO do not work on zen 3 x3d?

[grave obsidian]

you keeping das computas?

[tidal geyser]

and zen 4

[tidal geyser]

not the ones in the list those i need to sell to keep a roof over my head, right now i need to decide what parts should go where

[vestal roost]

i dont see any difference of fps boost in my 5600x and 5700x3d but 5700x3d doesnt give me fps drops

its always stable

[tidal geyser]

gpu?

and res

[hollow creek]

my ryzen master wont even load with 7600x for whatever reason that i had to go to bios everytime i wanna change something
dont know whats wrong with that thing

[tidal geyser]

ryzen master is known to cause BSODs aka no use it

[stone talon]

Any good temporary air cooler suggestions for a 7800x3d? Don’t want anything too pricey really, waiting to get an aio returned but might take some time

[strange atlas]

i forgot how to take ss in windows 11 can anybody remind me

[tidal geyser]

cold breeze

[strange atlas]

Windows shift s and print screen doesnt work in win 11

takes you out of the game

[tidal geyser]

windows shift s

[strange atlas]

.

[stone talon]

Alt print screen

[tidal geyser]

for just a screen shit its windows prnt screen

or not

[strange atlas]

thank you

[tidal geyser]

it was not

i just use the xbox game overlay thingy for screenshots

[strange atlas]

it is

[tidal geyser]

o nice

[strange atlas]

thanks agian

[hollow creek]

ah so thats why i rebooted first time after launching that lmao

[vestal roost]

4070ti 1080p

[hollow creek]

never worked after that

[tidal geyser]

what game

[plush wren]

[sinful cobalt]

thermalright phantom spirit 120evo n u can throw the aio away

[strange atlas]

try cpu dependent games you will see the biggest difference there (esport titles)

[stone talon]

I’m tempted to throw the aio away

[tidal geyser]

how many watts is the max for that cpu

[hollow creek]

probably 145

[sinful cobalt]

more than 1

[sinful cobalt]

120
