[tidal geyser]

here is a question for you what is the max wattage of that cpu

[untold dragon]

90

[mellow cairn]

It's easy to take a screenshot, you just setup sunshine, then connect using moonlight on your phone, and then take a screenshot.

[hollow creek]

including short boost?

[tidal geyser]

yus

[stone talon]

Nzxt aio having issues with pump getting clogged up I’m not even surprised anymore

[tidal geyser]

or just dying

[plush wren]

Why

[stone talon]

I think it’s like 160 max but never gets to that

[strange atlas]

why though

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-shookt-surprised-spit-lamp-gif-11209584

[tidal geyser]

its not

[stone talon]

I have no clue then😂

[tidal geyser]

funny thing its almost exactly half that

[mellow cairn]

One of the keys on my phone game controller takes screenshots and it gets pushed accidentally sometimes. 😄

[hollow creek]

with some negative pbo, tuned power limit and peerless assasin tower cooler, you probably would never use aio again
*and maybe fan curve tuning but yeah

[tidal geyser]

im saying this to make my point more clear, you really really do not need any insane cooler for amd

[tidal geyser]

7800X3D

even with a r9 9950X the peerless assasin is plenty fine

[hollow creek]

probably would be fine, idle might be um..... uncomfortable

[mellow cairn]

Now you tell me?! After I water-cooled my whole system?????!!!!

[tidal geyser]

xd

[untold dragon]

official from amd is 120 W max
https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/7000-series/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d.html
mine never went over 90 W

[tidal geyser]

always funny to see r5 7600 builds with a 150$ nzxt AIO

[tidal geyser]

techpowerup too its 90w

mine does the same thing too

[stone talon]

What’s the difference between all of the phantom spirits?

[hollow creek]

well i have a 45 dollar aio for 7600x

[tidal geyser]

looks

[sinful cobalt]

ong

[strange atlas]

my friend is getting 7500f with nzxt screened aoi its like 18000 turkish liras aoi with 5000-6000 turkish liras cpu here :d

[tidal geyser]

oof

[strange atlas]

and got h9 flow it costs 8000 turkish liras cause he paid more for the case he downgraded from 7800xt to 7700xt :d

[hollow creek]

"do i need this cooler? no, but is it cool? hell yeah" moment

[stone talon]

I had a kraken 360 rgb on my 7800x3d till it started playing up

[strange atlas]

he has 4k main monitor by the way :d

[tidal geyser]

tbh possible to look at it being even worse but eh the 7800X3D aint a budget cpu

[sinful cobalt]

that nzxt aio is overrated as hell tbh, its nice for looks and looks only

[stone talon]

I only got it because it made the build look way better 😂

Performance wise it’s mediocre

[hollow creek]

yeah it really is just a upper mid tear aio's and the price is.....

[tidal geyser]

if i want something for the looks i would buy a statue of myself

[strange atlas]

god damn self lover

[inland perch]

sleep everyone

[tidal geyser]

no thanks

[inland perch]

past your bedtime

[mellow cairn]

If I wanted something for looks I'd build a water-cooled hard-line PC with lots of RGB

[strange atlas]

i just woke up

[stone talon]

It’s 11am here

[sinful cobalt]

This is truly the best AIO for max budget builds no cap

[strange atlas]

i dont know why but those hard line coolers irritates me so much

[tidal geyser]

nop

[tidal geyser]

for amd its the LF3

[mellow cairn]

Huh?

[strange atlas]

its just my opinion not trying to change yours

[hollow creek]

id pay money just for that screen lmao

[strange atlas]

man cases like these + without lighting is so good

[sinful cobalt]

I knew some1 with a O11, filled with lianli LCD fans, a 360mm kraken AIO

(his specs were a 5600x and a 4060ti)

[mellow cairn]

No, it doesn't make sense. Hard lines is just the lines. The water blocks are separate. The whole point of custom watercooling is the custom bit.

[sleek ibex]

I've done one with brass tubing..... And I'm not doing that shit again (my next builds just be PMMA/acrylic or EPDM with QDCs for now on)

[sinful cobalt]

hi

[strange atlas]

just they like too blocky that was my problem

[mellow cairn]

You can make them look any way you want. You can make them do a loop de loop.

[strange atlas]

even rams are white

[hollow creek]

tryna hide cable must be nightmare lol
nzxt h9 flashbacks

[untold dragon]

i have a ip for hiding cables
|| solid sidepanels||

[sleek ibex]

You can even use custom sleeve soft tubing like you would for AIOs. When people say "soft tubing looks ugly" bullshit they look great

[strange atlas]

oh didnt know that i always saw things like these thats why i did not like it

[solar moat]

LOL

[solar moat]

clean

[hollow creek]

or simply just getting a mesh case

[sinful cobalt]

eh if its satisfactory for me then it works

[mellow cairn]

Each of those lines has been custom bent to be that exact shape. There is nothing saying you have to do it like that, but that is what is aesthetically pleasing for most people

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/satisfactory-clapping-clap-gif-16002525

[trim idol]

With any luck, today I'll be down to just 3 computers left to sell!

[hollow creek]

my bros here already so far in the game and i still cant figure out how the hell do i properly make a nuclear plant

ive been edging geothermal and its not enough

[untold dragon]

ours ran for ca 3 hours

[sleek ibex]

https://youtu.be/OweouWwH56I?si=vLkHfn232bwWDF3o
There are even folks who do hybrid loops (mix of soft and hard line). LiquidHaus is famous for these types of builds

[mellow cairn]

a nuclear plant? Oh boy my setup has ... Uhhh... Many. And then it reprocesses to plutonium. And then reprocesses that to fisconium

[hollow creek]

have you figured the logistics?

[trim idol]

This makes me sad

[hollow creek]

i usually just dump them into a storage and never processed again but that has not worked well lmao

[mellow cairn]

Obviously yes

It's not rocket surgery

.... Actually it kind of is

[hollow creek]

its always rocket surgery man

[untold dragon]

all 2100 uranium perfectly balanced
but the output goes into a sink
my mate "burnt out" ):

[mellow cairn]

I setup an entire specific factory to support my nuclear power setup with its own sources that wasn't sharing with my production

[boreal vine]

I wonder, if you build a lag machine on minecraft realms, would you get banned by microsoft 🤔

[hollow creek]

im gonna watch imkibitz nuclear build just so i can see what he did wrong first and not do it in my own build

[tidal geyser]

they just limit resources

and then time the session out if it happens for too long

[mellow cairn]

If it's from older versions, it changes significantly. Radiation used to be wayyyyyyyyyyyyy worse 😄

[vestal roost]

welp. i just tried marvel rivals its taking a long time to load shaders and taking too long to go to practice range mode. is this normal when installing new cpu. cause i dont experiece this in my 5600x. valorant and cs boots up fast tho. maybe this shit optimized game is the problem

[boreal vine]

I was doing world edits last night and my friends were convinced that I was going to get banned for lagging the server

Don't even know why it's struggling, i'm on a 12900k

[tidal geyser]

16 cores but only one gets used for the game

[boreal vine]

if you want a real CPU destroyer game, play bf2042 with 100+ players

guaranteed to fuck up your CPU

[tidal geyser]

it does have multi core chunk loading but the game itself is mostly single core

[plush wren]

What if I want to preserve my CPU

[untold dragon]

[mellow cairn]

Ironically though, java can be genuinely very fast but.... It's not a good language to write games in.

[frail delta]

As an outsider looking in, it seems to be like PHP, in that it can be amazing, but is rarely implemented well

[plush wren]

C#?

[mellow cairn]

PHP is way worse. The real problem with java is usually the capital E Enterprise low rate coders that are writing it

[plush wren]

[mellow cairn]

Look, I need everything in there. It's essential.

And by everything I mean like .. 10 files, but I'm not sure which ones.

Because I downloaded a key file, and simply referenced it from the download directory like a savage.

[tidal geyser]

i just backup everything to the nas once in a while and then nuke it on my local pc

[frail delta]

The largest file is 900mb

[tidal geyser]

Did you know that Google fucking ai text summary of meetings creates a Google document with a goddamn endash in the name? That's right! An endash. Causing it to be utf8, and therefore fucking up your code when you try and provide it as a filename in the http header because it actually needs a non standard process to use utf8 (which of course isn't technically a standard but it's implemented by every browser......)

[frail delta]

i have so much random shit on my pc wtf

[trim idol]

I don't think I have any super-old windows installs at the moment. Probably a few from 2023.

I once took a Windows install from 98SE -> Millennium -> XP -> Vista -> Win 7.

All of the hardware changed at least twice

[untold dragon]

🤮 vista 🤮

[trim idol]

Vista was a fun time

[untold dragon]

every pc we have / had went from xp to 7

[boreal vine]

I love my new headset

[vestal roost]

dawg. i opened rivals for a second time , its taking too long to enter practice mode and experiencing massive fps drops when entered ,taking me too long to alt tab . I literally just played this game an hour ago streaming in discord, smooth asf and boots up really quick before installing my new cpu.

[boreal vine]

I do wonder why most gaming headset mics are trash though

[strange atlas]

I used it like this windows 98 - xp - vista - win 7 - win 8 - win 8.1 - linux - win 10 - win 11

[trim idol]

Vista's main issue is that windows redesigned the driver subsystems and released before things were really well vetted

[plush wren]

what did u buy

[trim idol]

How old are you, sir Mullner?

[vestal roost]

opened cyberpunk, valorant, red dead, cod other aa games and it boots up really quick

tf

[untold dragon]

xp - 7 - 10/ubuntu
im not that old

[strange atlas]

22 But i always had older gen pcs 😄 the first pc we had had floppy disk

[trim idol]

dang... not many people your age started on win 98

Just recently bought a PSVita and now am planning on buying 2 more

[strange atlas]

not sure if its the exact model but it really looked like this one

but i remember keyboard being connected to monitor directly

like it was one unite if i'm not wrong

[strange atlas]

i miss those so much it were really good

when i were a bit more grown up i had a something close to vista but foldable and had also screen on the bottom panel i wonder what was that

What the hell i had a nintendo? "Nintendo DS Lite"

I remember playing mario cart on it but didnt remember it was actually nintendo

[mellow cairn]

The first PC I had didn't even have that!

[strange atlas]

damn what did it have

[mellow cairn]

.... And that the minimum spec was too low.

[mellow cairn]

A cartridge and a tape drive

[sleek ibex]

Tape recorder?

[mellow cairn]

Yep

[sleek ibex]

Was it the Adam?

[mellow cairn]

Offs, I literally can't say the name of an Australian retailer

[mellow cairn]

Anyway it was the exidy sorcerer

Which was Z80 based.

[ebon marlin]

That's a DS

[strange atlas]

tapes were only for cars at the time so i was more of a cd guy i remember trying to find a cd rom that can do more then reading and do burning it was so cool at the time

yes i found it thank you

Does the Corsair RM750x PSU fit in the Thermaltake Versa H18 case?

I have no clue how to check or if it's even an issue

[strange atlas]

I do not know but i cant have the same enjoy from new games like i had at that time i wonder if its like level of quality lowered by time and companies doesnt make good games anymore or its just not built for my taste

[livid fern]

Yes

[trim idol]

yes

[limpid kernel]

Thanks

[south arrow]

Should fit most atx cases

[strange atlas]

And i dont know why but i do like less polygone designs it makes it so much more appealing

[mellow cairn]

The problem is you

[limpid kernel]

The Versa H18 is a microATX case tho

I'm pretty sure at least

[south arrow]

I'd trust malorie

[limpid kernel]

Alr

[trim idol]

yup, and it fits a standard ATX PSU

[limpid kernel]

Ah, okay.

[livid fern]

Versa is compatible with Standard PS2 PSU

[mellow cairn]

I mean so would i, but it's not rocket surgery, it's ATX.

[strange atlas]

[limpid kernel]

Thanks 👍

[limpid kernel]

... there's a difference?

[plush wren]

Rocket Surgery

[south arrow]

[sleek ibex]

The coleco Adam was actually my father's first computer

[trim idol]

it's what Thermaltake's site says. I think the person who wrote the specs was high

[livid fern]

Ps/2
150mm (W) x 86mm (H) x 140mm (D) are the dimensions "normally"

[sleek ibex]

And what's even fitting was Adam was his first name

[mellow cairn]

Hahahah, ok, so you can read a website, but since you have no idea what you're talking about, you repeat it verbatim...... Are you an LLM? 😄

[south arrow]

Slaps top can do alot with these bad Bois xD. I do love how affordable and available they are

[raven sluice]

most of this stuff is scraped from a database, there are no real people manually compiling these

[plush wren]

[raven sluice]

that's why some entries are blank

because there's no info yet in the database

[livid fern]

Which way i dont have idea?

[mellow cairn]

The PS/2 was loooooong before ATX.

[raven sluice]

you mean verbatim the Japanese company?

[sleek ibex]

IBM PS/1 or Sony PlayStation (PS1)

[mellow cairn]

No, I mean verbatim the word.

.... The context gives it away entirely.

[south arrow]

Silly geese, silly geese everywhere lol

[raven sluice]

what about xbox

[trim idol]

Thank you for explaining that to me. I didn't say the person who wrote the page, I said the person who wrote the specs. I understand how database-driven dynamic web pages work

[livid fern]

Yeah but the dimensions are same
These didnt change

[gleaming rose]

this is fun to watch

[raven sluice]

so I'm right? Wow I didn't, thanks for confirming, I guess

[mellow cairn]

..... And yet, nobody in the history of ever, refers to ATX as PS/2

ps/2 is the port wtf are yall on about

[mellow cairn]

Literally this is the first time I've encountered it, and I'm a million years old. I literally used a PS/2 when they were current.

[livid fern]

I see

[trim idol]

Tbf, the thermaltake site said PS2, not PS/2

[sleek ibex]

That's right! IBM not only had the PS/2 (where the PS/2 connection name comes from) it also had the lesser known PS/1 (that was what it was called in murica)

[south arrow]

insert psx logo here

[gleaming rose]

or the ibm computer

[frail delta]

What does di positronium have to do with tech

[trim idol]

the PS2 power supply spec was superseded by atx in 1995, so yeah... even oldies like Bob and I rarely dealt with them

[south arrow]

Thankfully

[mellow cairn]

.... Also they had entirely different internal cables and connectors.

[sleek ibex]

The PS/1 only lasted for four years in The early-mid 90s

Though it was called the PS/1000 in Europe

[raven sluice]

it's a sony console

[gleaming rose]

i figured that computer would have lasted a bit longer than it did, the more you know

[fallow yacht]

what the fuck

[gleaming rose]

my thoughts exactly

[mellow cairn]

We are in agreement

[raven sluice]

I have a combo on a pc I got

[mellow cairn]

Yes, those are the mouse and keyboard ports that originated on the IBM PS/2, now called "PS/2 ports"

[solar moat]

those are NICE ports

[south arrow]

licks it

[gleaming rose]

i would

[south arrow]

[mellow cairn]

Pro tip: as per the spec, these are not hot swappable

[south arrow]

Intrusive thoughts took over

[gleaming rose]

im a big fan of ps/2 ports

Anything can be hot swappable once

[raven sluice]

[mellow cairn]

Look, I take specs as vague hints, so hey

[gleaming rose]

that is SEXY

look at those CURVES and SHARP CORNERS

[raven sluice]

insane how some company sets a standard and the others follow suit

[frail delta]

We should standardise standards

[raven sluice]

yeah, they needed to be connected before boot

[south arrow]

What a chonnnk

[raven sluice]

you couldn't just hot swap them

[mellow cairn]

They actually didn't!

It wasn't a standard

[sly epoch]

So I have a ps4 controller and I plugged it in my pc via usb and the led light on my controller is saying yellowish orrage but its not working how do I fix?

[raven sluice]

did they?

it became one

But like many things at the time..... Once they made it and stuff existed for it, other people used it because stuff existed for it.... Boom.

Watching the matrix on DVD

[south arrow]

It's way easier these days using like splintercell and adapter/usb and Linux save file run it get the softmod. Then fatxplorer free trial or $20 for life and it works great with a wd hdd and you'll need an 80 wire ide

[strange atlas]

By the way i havent played zelda breath of the wild is it worth giving a shot?

at the time i had r7 240 its not the best for those type of games

[sleek ibex]

Yep this was basically meant to be IBM's 'more affordable' option to compete with the likes of Compaq, Gateway 2000, Packard Bell, HP, etc. it again got discontinued in 1994 with the PS/2 lineup to follow in 1995.

[raven sluice]

check the reviews for concord

[south arrow]

I myte be collecting all of them for switch rn

[mellow cairn]

I love the irony that a steam deck is a better switch than a switch

[latent pasture]

why not, its not like it got worse over time

[south arrow]

I was thinking of getting one local there's a 512 for 300 it's really tempting but if xbox is cooking one for the end of the year or next year I myte wait

[mellow cairn]

Literally regarded as one of the best games of all time......

[strange atlas]

i'll give it a shot then i normally dont enjoy open world games but there are good examples i hope this is one of them

Ohhh I see, that's what I was seeing looks sick. All on the list so I can finally start working on diablo iv

[south arrow]

Those messages are the rudes

[weak osprey]

oh god i made a mistake

[boreal vine]

no problem with it so far

I kinda like it

[weak osprey]

Someone forgot to edit the website template

[mellow cairn]

A perfect score.

[south arrow]

Can't fail if you haven't done anything

[median warren]

Is it worth getting the asus rog phone 9 pro?

[gleaming rose]

i want a toyota celica as my first car
apparently they're making a new one in 2026 but i may want an older one as a project car since my friends dad is an expert at working on cars

[gleaming rose]

fuck NO

[median warren]

Cause I kinda need a new one and I've been eyeing that one

[median warren]

Okay but why no

[gleaming rose]

look at this sexy monster

[gleaming rose]

theyre massively overpowered and nobody games that hard on their phone

what do you use your phone for

[median warren]

To uh mostly watch videos, I do do some gaming, I rarely take pictures and I use my phone a lot during work as it's needed for it

[gleaming rose]

if you want a gaming phone get a redmagic

those are sweet ass phones

[median warren]

Right but the asus has cooler aesthetics and more accessories

Idk how much battery life the redmagic has but the asus one has 5800mah

That is already a bit step up from current 3300mah phone

[gleaming rose]

redmagic has 7000 in their top end

[latent pasture]

gaming phone 🤮 what are you even playing

use an emulator on ur pc

[gleaming rose]

and the redmagic don't have a holepunch, the camera is under the screen

[gleaming rose]

you dont want the accessories

the asus phones cost a fuckload of money and arent even worth it compared to the redmagic

[median warren]

Well I'm sure it's worth it in some aspects, and i don't doubt the redmagic's capabilities but damn the asus is so much cooler lmao

[gleaming rose]

also the redmagic has like no bezels

[gleaming rose]

its your money, next time don't ask here is your mind is already made up though

[median warren]

Nah cause like I can't do that on the go, I play a few games whilst I'm out, top 3 being dislyte, clash of clans and warhammer tacticus

[sinful cobalt]

ew asus

[median warren]

It ain't I'm just stating that it has cooler aesthetics

[median warren]

What's wrong with asus? Apart from their awful customer service (as I've heard) they're perfectly fine as a brand, definitely more on the expensive side but they make good stuff

[latent pasture]

idk how the other 2 run, but coc runs butter smooth on my $80 phone

[median warren]

You do have a point, coc will run smoothly most on anything tbh, the game did come out like 14 years ago now tho so makes sense

[latent pasture]

the other guy alr explained why the asus gaming phone specifically is meh
this new guy is just hating the whole brand which is ngek

[mellow cairn]

Forza horizon 5 runs smooth on my phone

[sinful cobalt]

“good stuff”
ROG cetra out of the box dead bluetooth
Z790 Asus mobo on vacation for a 2nd time
The first vacation it came back from they sent back a faulty board
Prime MSRP model, $250 SGD above MSRP

[gloomy sleet]

get a porsche 944

they go for like 10k max

[median warren]

I feel the faults were just unlucky, I've had many asus products and currently have and I have had 0 issues with them

[latent pasture]

ok now which one of these is the android phone

[gleaming rose]

DAMNNN

[gloomy sleet]

what

[sinful cobalt]

idc ur not changing my opinion of asus

i hate asus with a passion

glorified trash

[untold dragon]

eww

[gleaming rose]

sexy car

[gloomy sleet]

disagree

[gleaming rose]

"It's an old German car and yes it leaks various fluids randomly. If there's no oil under it then there's no oil in it. It's a 40 year old classic Porsche. It's not a new Toyota."
LMAOOO

[gleaming rose]

i was just showing the kinda car i want

[gloomy sleet]

nah

[gleaming rose]

both ugly

[sinful cobalt]

reminds me of that one mr bean spy agent movie scene where he chose the car that ate and leaked fuel

[rapid quarry]

The 2 have a striking resemblance

[latent pasture]

the only 2 metric cars should be judged on is fuel mileage and carry capacity

[thin plover]

no u

[sinful cobalt]

I have no idea what yall talking bout but GT/GR86s and the S2000 ftw

[latent pasture]

same

[gleaming rose]

meh, im waiting for the new celica to see it's body but i may just get an old Porsche or celica

[sinful cobalt]

my own legs>

[latent pasture]

bicycle for most trips and tricycle if need to carry something big

[gleaming rose]

i don't like the gr86

[median warren]

@mortal rock what is the name of redmagic's flagship phone

[sinful cobalt]

i hope they do a revival of the celica or MR2

[median warren]

I want to check it out

[south arrow]

Got moonlight on android I'll have to download sunshine in the morning and watch a tutorial what a fun time to be alive

[untold dragon]

REDMAGIC 10 Pro

[median warren]

Thank you

Wow even the 24gb ram and 1tb variant is much cheaper than Asus's same flagship variant

[gleaming rose]

they are reviving the celica next year, toyota brass said so

[gleaming rose]

fucking told you, and you didnt even look

[median warren]

I looked now

[sinful cobalt]

imo the MRS (successor of the MR2) is overhated asf

[gleaming rose]

but yeah buy a 944 when I'm 15 and work on it, be ready by the time i can drive by myself

[median warren]

How old are you now

[gleaming rose]

guess

[median warren]

I mean I'm guessing 14 but that's why I asked bc you're incredibly young if that's the case

[gleaming rose]

yep

[median warren]

There is no fucking way, you're the same age as clash of clans

[south arrow]

echo get one of these

[small badger]

oh no

not the french

[bronze jay]

Also true. I've only started using Linux a couple of weeks ago. But a couple of weeks should be enough time to not have this shit happen because of me. That's why Linux still isn't a replacement for windows. And I don't care how smug people will try to be about it, the fact is that most people should stay on windows if they don't want to have to troubleshoot constantly.

[gleaming rose]

the problem is I've never seen anybody using linux for more than a day have any of these issues

[true stirrup]

It actually looks like it's in a good condition

[gloomy sleet]

it is

[bronze jay]

I don't know what to tell you

It's probably because I'm using an Nvidia card. I don't know.

[true stirrup]

Arch works perfectly for me and I have an Nvidia card

[bronze jay]

Good. It means there's some other problem I can address

I was using 550 drivers on mint and had no issues. Maybe if I switch to those.

I'm on 565 right now because it's supposedly "better"

[true stirrup]

The only reason why I haven't switched to daily driving Arch is because the god damn university Microsoft account administrator doesn't want to give me access to the Gnome OneDrive integration

[bronze jay]

What does that have to do with Microsoft?

I still have a lot to learn

[small badger]

I did see a post somewhere saying is it 572.xx causing instability? can't remember if it was just gaming on windows or not 😄

[bronze jay]

570 froze my mouse

I had to reformat

I got restic and a backup drive. If I brick it again it should take a lot less time to get back to where I was

[median warren]

@gleaming rose asus phone seems to be better for everyday use and practicality and also seems to have better software, so that's 1 point to asus and regmagic already has 1 big point bc of their very attractive price

But it's hard to choose actually

[true stirrup]

In university we have Microsoft accounts and I need to connect Gnome OneDrive integration to it. The problem is that it's not on the allowlist so I have to request access for it. But the request isn't getting accepted

[small badger]

surely instead of an reformat you could have just terminal'ed the drivers away

[bronze jay]

That would have been a better solution

I was really angry

[small badger]

before you do it though, make an alias for rm 😄 alias yeet='rm'
then you can Yeet the drivers away

[bronze jay]

?

[gleaming rose]

why the first two points?

[small badger]

instead of rm -i , you can yeet -i 😄

[median warren]

Wdym

[gleaming rose]

the redmagic has better battery and still has decent cameras

and its like half the price

[median warren]

Also red magic will only support 1 major Android update and 3 years of security updates whilst Asus supports 2 and 5 years of security updates in the future so

Asus also seems more refined from what I've read

[median warren]

£1300 vs £880 yeah, quite a difference

https://www.techradar.com/phones/asus-rog-phone-9-pro-vs-nubia-red-magic-10-pro I've read through this

[small badger]

so many brits here today, love it

[rigid fjord]

do not touch

[median warren]

I just live here, I'm not from here tho

But yeah Britain good

[rigid fjord]

i'm always here

[median warren]

Fuck man it's hard to choose between asus or redmagic but I think due it's more refined nature, practicality and the everyday use capabilities outside of gaming, the asus phone does win

[latent pasture]

sd8 elite

[median warren]

But is it worth an extra like 400

[median warren]

Yeah but I'm looking at the 24gb ram and 1tb version for both

[gleaming rose]

no, fuck off

[rigid fjord]

no, i'd rather remove the dumb ones

[median warren]

I really don't want an apple product

I'm too used to Android and all the benefits Apple offers I would not use

I've watched linus and his videos about you know, the switch from android to iPhone and vice versa

[bronze jay]

I actually have more respect for Apple than for Microsoft, which I never thought was possible

[median warren]

I don't doubt their capabilities and that it's a good product, but it would be like me switching from windows to Linux, being a person who has never even touched Linux before and have 0 clue nor need for it

Basically I'm saying it would be impractical for me

[small badger]

speaking of which, it was really interesting hearing Lisa's take on the 30-day android challenge, she made a fantastic point about the phone being part of a grander modular design (the "ecosystem") 😄

[rigid fjord]

fair enough, though the 16e is actually a decent phone

[latent pasture]

single camera which is sadge

[median warren]

I agree with that, i saw the videos on it

[rigid fjord]

you already do that by using an android tbh

Compared to using Linux on an actual pc

[tidal geyser]

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXmNIbxTtFA

[rigid fjord]

@median warren worth a watch tbh

[latent pasture]

still kinda sadge when the bare minimum cutdown frankenstein product is the same price as the top end of android with maxed specs and cameras etc

[maiden crater]

yall think its a good idea to run adguard dns and pihole idk which to choose

[tidal geyser]

umm

what do you mean and

[maiden crater]

i mean there is a primary and secondary dns on my router so should i set up 2 pihole or adguard or both pihole and adguard

its not running on a pi though should i do adguard which do yall use

[strange atlas]

Google play came to PC new steam killer 😳

[median warren]

@rigid fjord Yeah I mean, it's a good phone for the price

[bronze jay]

One thing I've learned is that trying to justify your decisions to people who don't respect your choices is a waste of time

I just tell people "it doesn't have to make sense to you" and it really pisses them off but I don't care anymore

[median warren]

Yeah you raise a very good point, but they did provide me with something useful this time, a cheaper alternative which made me question my decision and looked good, but I chose otherwise anyways

[bronze jay]

Someone got so angry they said "I hope whatever you buy doesn't work"

[bronze jay]

Yeah don't just cut off any discussion. It depends on their attitude

[median warren]

Yeaaaahh

[bronze jay]

If people question your decisions but are respectful about it you should humor them because they might have a good alternative

[median warren]

It do be like that sometimes, sometimes people also just hate the brand

[median warren]

Yeah exactly, there are better ways to go about things yk, instead of immediate trash talk

[fallow yacht]

it's literally just a 13/14 with a better cpu

and 1 cam obvs

[bronze jay]

They were mad that I want to use a hot swap bay instead of manually opening my computer to access to SATA port

Sorry not sorry I can afford it and it's convenient

[median warren]

Tbh I'm kinda like that too, but for me it's like "yeah but it's cooler so I'm gonna get it" lmao

[bronze jay]

That's a big part of it for me and I don't feel the need to justify why

I like cool things so sometimes I'll spend more than I have to

It's more dignified than spending thousands on Funko pops, not that I have a problem with people who do that. They like them and that's the only reason they need.

[gleaming rose]

everyone who can afford to does but if you've already made up your mind and can't be convinced otherwise then why even bother coming in here and asking

[median warren]

Because i didn't know much about other options, apart from like the s25 ultra being one of the best rn, and you providing me with the information about the redmagic phone actually almost made me get that one

[bronze jay]

I was asking for help finding what I wanted

[median warren]

I didn't fully have my mind made up, just leaned towards it more

[bronze jay]

But people think that means I want them to convince me otherwise

[gleaming timber]

what’s the ‘sweet spot’ for DDR5 speed? like for ddr4 it’s 3200-3600

this motherboard bundle has a free 16gb 6000mhz kit

looking at the ram sticks now i don’t think it’ll fit into my pc

peerless assassin too damn big

[boreal vine]

6000mhz Cl30 for AMD

6400mhz cl32 for intel

[bronze jay]

Now I just ask Microsoft copilot because people are nice enough to look at the answer and verify if it's good advice

I'm really grateful for that

[boreal vine]

you could possibly get 7k + mhz on intel core ultra platforms, but honestly not worth the hassle @gleaming timber

intel 13/14th gen would struggle with 7K + without tweaking, while the core ultra series seems to be happy with it

[true stirrup]

Almost got it on a 12600kf

[median warren]

I use 7200mhz cl36 with 14700k

Personally

[boreal vine]

I'm not saying it's not possible, but it's a pain in the fucking ass, I know a lot of folks that can't do it

[median warren]

Or my bad, mt/s

[boreal vine]

it needs abit of tweaking more than what I'd expect from a regular user

[true stirrup]

Yeah it took me hours to get to that point and it's not even stable

[boreal vine]

also cl40 7k 💀

[gleaming timber]

yeah i’m going AMD

Not the point at all

[median warren]

Alright so, people i need some advice, I dropped my phone accidentally, it fell about 50cm and it landed on its back but first slightly hit the edge and then turned to fall on its back, it has a case on it thankfully, however when the phone dropped it turned off and could not be turned on without the charging being plugged in and immediately turns off if the charger is not plugged in, the phone stays charged and doesn't lose battery but also it doesn't go up

What to do to get a few more weeks of use out of it?

[true stirrup]

the battery lost contact

[strange atlas]

is it removable battery

[median warren]

Is that something I can repair myself with like an ifixit kit?

[strange atlas]

if not open inside and try to see what is unplugged and all

[strange atlas]

most likely

[median warren]

That's the thing, it's a Samsung z flip 3, so it has 2

[true stirrup]

try sqeezing the middle part of the phones back

[strange atlas]

so control both then

[median warren]

How do you mean

[median warren]

Control in what way

[true stirrup]

just push on the back of the phone where the battery is

[strange atlas]

i mean check for loose things check if its connected

[strange atlas]

and maybe try this too

[median warren]

Okay that seems simple enough

Should I restart the phone at all and do the software update?

[rigid fjord]

it's possible to be fixed but tbh, might be wiser to actually take it to a phone repair shop

[true stirrup]

no need

[whole garden]

Something came loose or got damaged, I would take it to a repair shop

[lavish needle]

When do I get to play red dead redemption 5 at native 16K

[median warren]

I don't necessarily need this phone for longer because I'm buying a new phone today just wanted to see how long i could make it last because I need to transfer some stuff over

[rose tapir]

hey!!! if I have rooted phone but it's ram isn't that good, can I somehow use the ram of my pc to fulfill the computational power needed?

[rigid fjord]

when you brain is mentally developed enough

[true stirrup]

if it works while connected to the charger it will last as long as you have the charger

[true stirrup]

no

[strange atlas]

i mean you can transfer files while charging you said its boots right?

[median warren]

That is a good point, I'm in work right now but thankfully I've got my days off until Sunday so that should give me time to get it all sorted

[strange atlas]

and its probably not a big job to do i would give it a shot and maybe you can sell your phone if you like to

[median warren]

Yeah that's a good point tbh

[median warren]

I will try, I've got the tools for it at home, or i think anyways

[median warren]

Yeah dw

[strange atlas]

why do you have to tap battery

use your hand to push it in

[median warren]

Oh no Mr graun d mullner

Oh big no no

The back part of the phone where the battery is like under, it is moving, slightly

But it is not meant to be moving

[sonic canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/police-roblox-bad-police-bad-gif-21393412

[median warren]

Yeah the battery definitely moved

[strange atlas]

same happened on mine put toilet paper under it and make it intact all the time

[random gyro]

I am buying the omi next

[sonic canopy]

is there a good mobo for the 14700f under 150 euros

[median warren]

Lmao the entire back of the phone is moving, with the camera portion

[strange atlas]

or electrical tape 😳

[median warren]

Oh yeah this bitch fucked

[strange atlas]

[median warren]

Not surprised it only works with the charger plugged in

I'm gonna try and extra hard squeeze and hop I don't break the screen

Hang on

[strange atlas]

try putting the battery on fire

[sonic canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/gmod-source-game-garrys-mod-garrys-mod-gif-21838568

[sonic canopy]

soak the battery in water

and add lithium to the water

[strange atlas]

oh no there are seasons of the walking dead game i didnt know i have only got the first season

gotta wait till the next sales

[random gyro]

Every time you wanna buy a game everything is off sale. But when you don't want any games there's sales every other day

[strange atlas]

nice idea dont forget to hold onto it while doing that

[strange atlas]

i cant agree more

[sonic canopy]

"every time you wanna buy a guy" 😨

[random gyro]

hey chat

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZTLM6Q next pc build for me

[arctic silo]

Ok. Question. I mounted my Peerless Assassin the wrong way so I barely have clearance for the GPU slot. If I remount, should I repaste? I just installed a week or two ago

[gleaming rose]

ass, also why 2 gpus

[thin plover]

probably a troll

Thank god this 2200g prebuilt isnt over 50

I forgot to check if it is proprietary or not

[azure topaz]

lol yes

[gilded harness]

(It is)

[empty quartz]

Looks like an hp

Henceforth
Proprietary

[steel umbra]

rtx

[gilded harness]

Its an acer aspire whatever it is lol

[steel umbra]

3050 is cooler name than 9700

[empty quartz]

[gilded harness]

I dont think acer would do proprietary stuffs but here we are

[empty quartz]

They do proprietary mobo sizes

[sturdy dome]

Is this psu good?

It costs 90$ rn

[empty quartz]

Charge your phone

[sturdy dome]

Soon gang

[empty quartz]

Do it rn

@strange atlas @true stirrup

New phone ordered, current phone became even more fucked somehow

The back part is so loose now, that it lifts up if I push my finger on it and I can see the adhesive

[true warren]

is it ok to use custom cable from cable mod?

[median warren]

Yes

[lethal bay]

The answer to that question is always… and I mean ALWAYS… whichever you think looks coolest lmao

[nimble burrow]

Which should I get? Mainly using macOS and need a smaller keyboard for the backpack

[random gyro]

Peak

[jovial swan]

hows the lenovo yoga pro 7 r7-8HS, with 16 gigs of ram and 512 storage, i found one on sale for 5499 dkk / 797 USD, for gaming (warthunder, cs-2, among other smaller titles) and for work stuff

[tidal geyser]

it does not have a Dgpu

[jovial swan]

no , but from what i can tell the radeon 780M is quite capable.

[tidal geyser]

it is but what cpu is it

[jovial swan]

ryzen 7 8845HS

[gilded harness]

sounds pretty good to me idk if theres better at around the same price

zen 4 laptop should be around that price maybe

[cosmic stratus]

Mm Imma try this with an intel a380

https://youtu.be/PFebYAW6YsM?si=RZOGNpn-v8jbx-da

[tidal geyser]

it is zen 4

[tidal geyser]

yeah really good

[ebon marlin]

https://www.techpowerup.com/334866/hp-debuts-gaming-components-under-its-omen-brand

[elder quarry]

Inaccurate

[granite sundial]

780m is good for games like warthunder and cs-2

[elder quarry]

Wiw

[granite sundial]

cs-2 is cpu limited even on a 9800x3d

[jovial swan]

i mainly just need it for some light gaming and movie watching, which it should be good for with its 2560x1600 14.5 inch 90 hz screen,

[tidal geyser]

(with a 5090)

will be plenty fine

[jovial swan]

ill look deeper into it i only have 6700 dkk on my acc rn so id be down to like 1200 afterwards,

[clear canyon]

Original cs was cpu limited, cs2 is a mix of cpu and gpu

[zinc widget]

Yeah everyone should just use Manjaro

[elder quarry]

Eh? I like arch, and I love it

Really I like almost all Linux distros

[zinc widget]

Same thing

[gilded harness]

Yeah should be good

[empty quartz]

A380

[azure topaz]

seems like bullshit garbage

does he just play with lossless scaling or something

[fresh nest]

is it possible i fixed my gpus fan by avoiding the heatsink of the gpu?

Long story short. took appart my gpu to reapply new layer of liquid metal and assembled it a bit different by having one of the fans touching the heatsink. put into pc and that one fan started ripping meanwhile the gpu was cool at 30°C. all fan curves were ignored by the gpu & there was no rpm read out on the fan that it was affected by the heatsink. took it appart again, and this time on purpose i have the cables hanging out of the gpu so it wont get close with the heatsink.

[empty quartz]

Yap

[fresh nest]

also noticed that the cable melted a tiny bit. and theres now BOTH rpm read outs & the fans work via the fan curve.

my gosh. dodged a bullet there for sure...

[empty quartz]

I kinda want to 3d print a phone case

[fresh nest]

i wanna 3d print contact frame for AM5

[empty quartz]

3d printing isnt strong enough for that

[tidal geyser]

no

[fresh nest]

😄

[tidal geyser]

it is

[empty quartz]

Ehhhh

[fresh nest]

im joking. i dont even have a 3d printer

[tidal geyser]

ABS

100c+ and if printed right can do the pressure with no issues

[obtuse raven]

i hope i dont lag

[empty quartz]

Can it even sustain 8in-lbs

[tidal geyser]

that matters way way way more on design

[fresh nest]

is ~600 bucks for a 4070 Super good price?

[raven sluice]

lmao

yes

[tidal geyser]

not if its possible to get a 9070 xt for msrp

[raven sluice]

wait, which model?

[empty quartz]

i’d trust aluminum or stainless steel more

[fresh nest]

im staying team green

[empty quartz]

keyword: If

[tidal geyser]

well it also costs more and is harder to work with but yeah

[tidal geyser]

why?

[empty quartz]

Aluminum is more expensive, but it will last longer

[raven sluice]

team green is more suited for productivity and gaming

amd is only good for gaming

[empty quartz]

No

[raven sluice]

nvidia still has more experience

[tidal geyser]

what

[empty quartz]

@raven sluice whats your experience for this statement

[fresh nest]

nvidia is much simpler to use for me. already on my last system with AMD, i couldnt even get AMD chipset drivers installed or anything. i have now amd 9000 series and it worked like a piece of cake, but gpu vise, nvidia is so much easier for me. i had a gtx 285 then a 1050 Ti and now a 3060 Ti

[raven sluice]

I know PC hardware?

[tidal geyser]

again why is it so much easier

[empty quartz]

Thats not an answer

[tidal geyser]

nope

[raven sluice]

amd is good, but I think Nvidia is better

for now

[empty quartz]

So you’re an nvidia fan

[fresh nest]

well availability, ray tracing and most of all. nvidia app is so much simpler

[raven sluice]

for now yes

[tidal geyser]

what

[empty quartz]

You’re biased

[raven sluice]

but I don't blame people for choosing amd

[empty quartz]

Thats no way to give an opinion

[fresh nest]

whats up sim?

[tidal geyser]

the 9070 xt does RT like a 4070 super or better and the app is simple

[empty quartz]

@tidal geyser :3

[fresh nest]

amd is still like 2 generations behind with ray tracing

[raven sluice]

exactly

[tidal geyser]

where did you get that from

[raven sluice]

and it's not all

[fresh nest]

LTT AMD 9070 review video?

[raven sluice]

adobe software work much better on Nvidia

[fresh nest]

and yes, NVENC is so good

[empty quartz]

No its not

[fresh nest]

for me it is

[tidal geyser]

you do know the 9070 xt encoder is 20% better?

[empty quartz]

Then again, neither is amd encoders

[carmine yew]

the 9070 is bad.
the XT is good

[fresh nest]

well linus included the Xt aswell

[tidal geyser]

rx 9000 have gotten way better encoder

[fresh nest]

its still 2 generations behind with ray tracing

[empty quartz]

Not better than intel

[fickle ivy]

i dont like the fact that i just very easily bypassed the need for admin privliges and got steam workign on my school pc

[tidal geyser]

if you do care enough then just a dedicated intel card is the way

[empty quartz]

Its a problem with your school’s it department then, not a problem from windows

[empty quartz]

I plan on it

[fickle ivy]

it keeps asking for it but its working so whatever'

[fresh nest]

also guys. for me, the RX 9070 XT is ~1000 bucks lowest & AVAILABLE is for ~800 bucks meanwhile the rtx 4070 Super is for ~600 bucks right now orderable

[empty quartz]

I need more gpu’s 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[median warren]

Gotta go into the double digits

[empty quartz]

No

[tidal geyser]

it beats the 4070 super and some times by a good bit

[fresh nest]

well that 5% extra peformance for like 300 bucks less, YES PLS

[empty quartz]

It’d be cool to have a wateblocked 6800 + waterblocked b580

[fresh nest]

i dont even play at 1440p anyways (yet)

[raven sluice]

damn so my card is starting to get obsolete

[tidal geyser]

well then its 25%

[raven sluice]

NOOOO

[tidal geyser]

no

[limber nacelle]

what an utter waste of money

[fresh nest]

25% what?

[empty quartz]

Not if i go 2nd hand

[odd marsh]

I want to see path tracing results, but idk how many people have tested that

[limber nacelle]

its a waste of money secondhand too

[tidal geyser]

how many games even have it

[limber nacelle]

[odd marsh]

Uh I know 4

[empty quartz]

How?

[raven sluice]

what if the first hand was so reckless that they completely shortened the card's lifespan by a landslide?

[limber nacelle]

the fuck are you waterblocking a b580 for lol

[empty quartz]

Because it’d be funny

[odd marsh]

Where are you going to get a water block for a b580

[raven sluice]

what if that first hand accounts for 20 hands

[limber nacelle]

also that

[raven sluice]

people are not always careful with their stuff, most people don't care

[limber nacelle]

when your answer is it'd be funny there is no cope, it's a waste of money

[raven sluice]

they can just buy another, that's their reasoning

[limber nacelle]

all the turding gpus I bought were a waste of money

[empty quartz]

Why would i buy a 2nd hand gpu even though i can buy a brand new b580 for the price of 2 1/2 new games

[vivid goblet]

How long do you guys pressure test with a leaktester? I have been checking a tube run that was leaking for like 45 minutes now and it dropped like 0.015 to 0.02 bar. Talking about watercooling my pc atm.

[limber nacelle]

read the instructions, most say like 10 to 15 minutes

[empty quartz]

Check your o-rings

[raven sluice]

dude what

[empty quartz]

I can get a brand new b580 for about $250 cad

Nvm, $350 cad

[limber nacelle]

not accounting for taxes either....

[empty quartz]

Im aware

392 cad after tax

Not hard to account for tax @limber nacelle

[limber nacelle]

not saying it was

[empty quartz]

Just gotta add 12%
