[graceful meadow]

Yeah im on the pc right now, but it only boots up with the 32 gb if i try to startup with 16 it dosen't start

[solid crown]

sims gonna try to hit on you and be like DTF? and youll be like "wheres that in the bios?"

[tidal geyser]

do you mean the other way around?

[graceful meadow]

Like i bought the pc with 16gigs of ram and it ran perfectly, added 32 got 200 mhz less and tried to go back to the 16gb it was before and now it dosen't wan't to start with only 16

[solid crown]

are you gonna return the ram?

[tidal geyser]

take out the 16GB sticks

and put the new in slot 2 and 4

[candid bolt]

my pc fr cant run fortnite

not that i play it btw

[graceful meadow]

Alright i try, so theres no way to get i back like it was in the beginnin with slot 1 and 3? No bios setting or something like that?

[solid crown]

dont you want them in slots 2 and 4 though?

[candid bolt]

how is the tuf better and cheaper? explain please

[solid crown]

1 and 3 would be more unstable

[graceful meadow]

Fr? It came from the factory like that

[tidal geyser]

how is it better????

[solid crown]

you used an arbitrary website thats useless

[candid bolt]

?

[tidal geyser]

it did not come from a factory but they dumb

[tidal geyser]

a motherboard unless utter dogshit cant change performance

[solid crown]

these websites usually arent very useful

[tidal geyser]

it can just not great

[candid bolt]

fair yea

but it spikes like crazy

[tidal geyser]

yup

i notice that on most 4 or 6 core 14nm cpus

[fresh patrol]

@tidal geyser did all that and nothing changed

[tidal geyser]

is the nvme ssd out?

[frail topaz]

can the 9070xt do 4k60

[tidal geyser]

how hard did you push the ram sticks back in

[candid bolt]

but is the tuf better then the gigabyte tho?

[tidal geyser]

it will explode

[tidal geyser]

in what way

[frail topaz]

lowkey doubit it

[fresh patrol]

no? why would I need to take that out

taking it out now

[tidal geyser]

i asked you to do it like 3 times

[fresh patrol]

[tidal geyser]

FSR4 was mostly made for 4k gaming

[tidal geyser]

[candid bolt]

[tidal geyser]

[frail topaz]

Mm yeah sure

[tidal geyser]

im not even going to say it again

[frail topaz]

i mean im not gonna go to 4k i want high refresh rate 1440 which i know it can do

[tidal geyser]

.

[steel umbra]

prices fluctuate

[tidal geyser]

its also A LOT and i mean A LOT better at memory managment at least claimed by amd

[tidal geyser]

no need

[cedar hollow]

yes i agree

[frail topaz]

yeah i actually needed cuda

[tidal geyser]

ama just wait for UDNA

[frail topaz]

until a while ago but then we stopped using it

[steel umbra]

undo

[frail topaz]

so im going all AMD, AM5 & RDNA 4

[candid bolt]

sooo i sould get the tuf...?

[frail topaz]

sure

[tidal geyser]

no i chose it since i wanted to be funny

[steel umbra]

it’s priced better than the gigabyte but i don’t know if it’s the best value

likely not

[tidal geyser]

it is if he wants black

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[solid crown]

if its between the 2 yeah

[empty quartz]

:3

[frail topaz]

i hate the TUF motherboard designs

[steel umbra]

oh

[fresh patrol]

@tidal geyser so NVME is out. Now i put the gpu back in and start it up?

[solid crown]

the gaming ax v2 version is included with the microcenter bundle and there are a ton of bad reviews about it

maybe the first one was better but still

[tidal geyser]

eh why not

[steel umbra]

what do the reviews say

[tidal geyser]

what are people saying

[candid bolt]

so what mobo sould i get?😭

[tidal geyser]

XD i just asked about the same thing

[candid bolt]

[tidal geyser]

[solid crown]

[steel umbra]

if you mean speed way that is very old

[solid crown]

the reviews about the asus one say lan controller cant be found and another says it keeps shutting down and crashing

[steel umbra]

how unexpected

[solid crown]

sounds like user issue ngl

[frail topaz]

what phone u got

[fresh patrol]

@tidal geyser same thing. Won’t display to monitors or give any startup screen

[plush wren]

yeah pay up pal $2000

[solid crown]

the 9700x bundle comes with the gaming ax 2 and has 1000+ reviews vs the 4 on the asus one, the gaming ax reviews say it trains the memory on boot so it takes like 30s each time or if they disable memory context its unstable, reviews also mention blue screens, also wifi issues

[empty quartz]

16 pro max

[frail topaz]

Ehh iphones

[tidal geyser]

hmmmm

[steel umbra]

• $200 taxes

[frail topaz]

Im not a big fan at all

[solid crown]

idk the microcenter bundles are just getting rid of defective shit it seems or stuff thats not selling

[tidal geyser]

pic of the pc?

[plush wren]

Why

[empty quartz]

Let me guess; you hate apple

[plush wren]

🍎

[empty quartz]

And think everyone should love android?

[fresh patrol]

not on rn

[plush wren]

Wow super hard to hear out other opinions

[frail topaz]

not really, just never been a fan of iphones

[tidal geyser]

why is it not on?

[frigid topaz]

I got 100 bucks for bday and icl idk what to buy

[empty quartz]

Based

[fresh patrol]

cause it’s not displaying

[tidal geyser]

you know you can save up?

[empty quartz]

Im pretty happy with my 16 pro max, and lg g7 thinq

[plush wren]

thats pretty lame

[tidal geyser]

uhm am5 can take up to 2min in a normal boot and on first boot like 5min

[plush wren]

but also not at the same time

[fresh patrol]

neither display is working. Motherboard or GPU

everything else is on for the pc tho.

[solid crown]

true, blow it on gambling and you either walk away with 0 or more money /s

[frail topaz]

not at all, people can have their own opinions, its what they grew up with, if ur used to and love iphones, keep going at it, all props to you, but i switched to android from iphone because it better suited me and ive been a happy user of android for the past 7 years

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-yes-agree-nod-nodding-gif-17512051

[steel umbra]

$999 for a stand and $199 for a monitor adapter mount is worth it in my opinion
apple can easily justify the price as the goods are made from high quality recycled aluminum with a nice proprietary finish

[tidal geyser]

polug the monitor into the gpu and then start the pc and let it stay on and powering on for 5min

at least 5min

[frigid topaz]

I think imma spend half and save up the other half cause my buddy selling rx 6600 for 80 but later on so I'll have 30 bucks more saved

[fresh patrol]

doing that now

[plush wren]

personally I just withdraw as soon as I profit

[empty quartz]

I personally use both

[frail topaz]

no phone is the best, and at the end of the day its what YOU want in a phone that influences your choice, iphones are and always will be good rounded phones, there are also good rounded android phones, but android tend to have the upper edge in niche categories, like super cameras or crazy ass performance or displays

[frigid topaz]

I love my s23

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-mic-cat-mic-microphone-gif-23378358

[frigid topaz]

Never ever buying a a series ever again

[plush wren]

[frigid topaz]

Yes (75hz)

[solid crown]

[empty quartz]

Theres this one kid here who shills the fuck out of samsung, and treats it like its the best company to ever exist

[plush wren]

they wont be manufactured in 54 years so no

[tidal geyser]

o the samsung A phones

[frail topaz]

for ex., for me i dont want an insane amount of performance, i need a phone with good battery life, good screen and i want my cameras, i've seemed to find Google Pixel's work fine for me, happy pixel 7 pro user.

[frigid topaz]

Yeah e waste

Really appreciate it, tipped u a little sum sum

how do you know that mr time traveller

[steel umbra]

yay

[ripe spire]

chat, anyone got any idea what the best mouse would be for my mba? lookin for something that has a very good battery life but also isnt like, terrible for gaming, so it has to be either good bluetooth or usb c dongle

[plush wren]

Take out a loan, gamble the money and double it, buy a iphone and return the money to the bank

[frail topaz]

There are a lot of kids who shill apple and samsung, samsung is the apple of androids, you're paying for the name. OneUI 7 saved their asses because they were going into the firey pits of hellish software

[plush wren]

I know everything

[plush wren]

You'll find people like that everywhere

[empty quartz]

Laidbackdev is like that

[frosty prism]

hey so I plugged in my bt dongle into my new pc and i can not find my headphones anyone know why

[steel umbra]

hmmm, my recs may be outdated as again i haven’t checked the mouse market for a while
i’d start first with measuring your hand size and prefered grip type

[empty quartz]

I dont use tiktok

[plush wren]

Great

[frail topaz]

are your headphones in pairing mode? likely not, check ur manual on how

[plush wren]

Any social media platform in that case sir

[frosty prism]

they are

[graceful meadow]

no problem, i mean helping everyone for free is very impressive and there are a very little amout of people that would do such thing.

[steel umbra]

no you’re missing out

[plush wren]

missing out on what

[steel umbra]

you don’t want your brain to be a slushy?

[frail topaz]

make absolute sure, and when windows prompts you on what bluetooth device to add make sure you click just bluetooth

[solid crown]

why do you even want a mouse for a laptop

[plush wren]

i have tiktok

[solid crown]

the macbook trackpad is pretty good

[frail topaz]

[fresh patrol]

@tidal geyser no change. It’s just idling on and not displaying anything onto the Monitors

[ripe spire]

any ideas tho?

[solid crown]

not with these tariffs bro

[plush wren]

[tidal geyser]

another pic of the inside of the pc

[plush wren]

usa problem

i think my country has 35% tariffs for usa

[solid crown]

saying X is less political than blueskey is crazy

[frosty prism]

okay so i tried my earbuds and on headphones (good audio quality) it doesnt work only on headset which sounds terrible

[steel umbra]

i can tell you what to not buy

[random gyro]

control panel -> disable hands-free ag audio & make cmf buds 2 pro stereo the default device

also bluetooth earbuds on windows sucks

[tidal geyser]

this computer is just so messy, but uhm only other thing that is worth a try now is a cpu reseat

[plush wren]

10% on albania

[frosty prism]

that'll just disable headset, wont fix headphones

[random gyro]

id use wired headphones

[plush wren]

The military industry accounts for over 60% of Bosnia and Herzegovina's total exports to the U.S Lmao

[tidal geyser]

take off the cooler then take out the cpu then check the pins in the socket if everything looks normal put the cpu back in then put the cooler back on and we can see if it is fixed

[subtle storm]

hey guys, i find it pretty suspicious that sometimes the location icon pops up on the top of my phone screen, even though i have it disabled. it pops up for a short time, indicating it is tracking me, then leaves. i have location turned off on all apps, i do not use maps or such. do i have a phone virus?

[frosty prism]

yeah but i bought a bt dongle just for this man

[solid crown]

do you have an iphone?

[plush wren]

😭 first question

[subtle storm]

samsung a51

[solid crown]

ah

[plush wren]

just check what apps have access to location

[subtle storm]

6 year old phone, just started happening

[solid crown]

do you have tiktok installed lol

[plush wren]

disable all of them and check if it happens again

[frosty prism]

alright i fixed it

[subtle storm]

no, only discord and youtube out of social media

[frosty prism]

now i just want my ACTUAL soundcore headphones to work

[plush wren]

Soundcore

[solid crown]

does andriod have a popup for apps that use your location like ios or no?

[subtle storm]

i find it suspicious as i havent downloaded anything for a year

and its only been happening for the last few montha

[subtle storm]

i dont know, as i dont use ios

[plush wren]

Turn off location to all apps and check if it happens again

[solid crown]

well im asking does android do that

[subtle storm]

but it just pops up shortly then gone

[frail topaz]

of fuckign course

[solid crown]

sounds like no

[subtle storm]

mf im the one asking, idk

[solid crown]

ok so no

[subtle storm]

first thing i checked.

anyways, can you make any sense out of this info?

[plush wren]

pro tip

[subtle storm]

cuz i do have sensitive things on my phone

[plush wren]

just factory reset

[subtle storm]

no

[plush wren]

good luck then

[subtle storm]

my mobile data isnt even working, but it has happened outside when i was checking the time

[plush wren]

idk

[solid crown]

apple has a thing where itll say like "X app has used your location 3 times in the past week, continue allowing this?" and itll keep popping it up, kinda annoying but useful I supposed

[tidal geyser]

i managed to boot 6600MT

[subtle storm]

now that i think about

[steel umbra]

let’s say vxe r1 pro if you want more ambix mouse, but there probably are better mouses than r1 by now, the quality of implementation and coating has been their minor upsides but short battery capacity on most of the models

[subtle storm]

half of my phone functions arent even working

[plush wren]

😭 🙏

[steel umbra]

eat them

[frosty prism]

how are my temps chat

[subtle storm]

glass is missing

[formal sonnet]

If I recall correctly, some cellular functions will also use your location. This includes things like E911 services and/or Emergency Alert System / weather related emergency messages, depending on your carrier and/or country. (For example, your carrier won't know what emergency messages to deliver if they don't know where you are.)

absolutely fine

[subtle storm]

ok thank

[steel umbra]

won : won??

[tidal geyser]

Occt killed it so sadly no

It was not meant to be

[steel umbra]

you can run 96 gigs at 1:1 6400mt/s?

[solid crown]

its a x3d cpu so it doesnt really matter anyway

[steel umbra]

i mean even booting at 6600 is luck

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[steel umbra]

nice cpu then

[subtle storm]

the issue is, my phone has info i cant change or upload anywhere else. confirmation messages are linked directly To it. not my email, it shows on my screen. i used a temporary phone number (big mistake) to quickly do sone stuff while having the phone 6 years ago, and i forgot the password. after that i had to reset, and suddenly the phone number didnt work, my sim card was broken, port not opening, my screen doesnt take inputs in 30% of places, the memory is at capacity, and the screen is burnt every way

[tidal geyser]

Enui said I could not even do it

[subtle storm]

its old but i cant change it

1 thing broke now im broke

[plush wren]

ur cooked bro

[steel umbra]

i did also boot like twice at 6600mt/s if it managed to post

[solid crown]

move to another country and start a new life ig

[steel umbra]

it just bsods like instantly then

[subtle storm]

mistakes were made

[plush wren]

i believe you could get it fixed through support though since u have the original device

[subtle storm]

mf my phone is BENT 5 degrees

i lost it in the fuckong snow for 3 days once

i dont think they can do anything with it

[plush wren]

no like

whatever shit is linked to ur phone

u have the phone still

[subtle storm]

(confirmation messages dont show in email or sms)

[plush wren]

so where do they show

[subtle storm]

its on the screen, directly on the phone

[formal sonnet]

Right, but you'd have an app for this. To my knowledge, no phones have TOTP built-into the OS...

[steel umbra]

make sure a duck doesn’t eat your phone while sleeping

[subtle storm]

nop

[gleaming rose]

ummm

[plush wren]

what app even needs that

[gleaming rose]

i am so glad i sold at 530

[subtle storm]

samsung has a data transfer thing for when u get a new phone

it doesnt work for this, i tried with 3 different cheap phones

[random gyro]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KHxVZc ye0s or no for gaming

[plush wren]

12700k and 6600 great

[formal sonnet]

Correct. TOTP apps worth their salt should not allow exporting stored tokens without a great deal of effort / confirmation from an authorized source. Otherwise it'd be too easy to just steal someone's TOTP tokens.

[subtle storm]

wait iw as supp9sed to check link

[gleaming rose]

honestly kinda yes
get a mp44l though

for the ssd

Nah, I got lots of ideas, but only so much time / energy. It's time for my government mandated walk.

[solid crown]

just start a new life not even joking lol

what confirmation stuff do you need it for

[subtle storm]

yeah im gonna be forced to if my phone breaks

[subtle storm]

password changes, regular checkups, money confirmation

[plush wren]

idk find some app that scans all connections that your phone makes and just look for suspicious domains

[solid crown]

jesus christ mate

[subtle storm]

anti virus

[plush wren]

what

[subtle storm]

yes

[plush wren]

anti viruses dont have all malicious servers blacklisted

[solid crown]

you need to call every one of your providers and change your phone number or whatever

[subtle storm]

idk lol

[solid crown]

now

[subtle storm]

name me one.

[plush wren]

what

[solid crown]

dont wait until your phone breaks or itll be way harder to do it

[subtle storm]

called PENNY service provider to reactivate, added money, didnt work, so i refunded

[solid crown]

no I mean call the services that send a confirmation to your number

[subtle storm]

good idea

[solid crown]

1. get new phone
2. use new phone to transfer the stuff from old phone to new phone

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

[solid crown]

dont do that, just get a NEW phone and NEW phone number

[subtle storm]

you realize the confirmation isnt sent by sms or email, its on my scree showing me numbers on balls

[subtle storm]

new phone, already did

all newer stuff is safe :D

Is it possible to build a decent gaming pc from $700?

This is what ive done so far

[subtle storm]

i do not have the time to be able to joke

[solid crown]

yes its called the used market

[subtle storm]

becuaee im stoobis

[subtle storm]

an answer so simple, yet i never thought of it

[solid crown]

lol

[formal sonnet]

Right, so it's likely a widget from a Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) app that supports TOTP. You should be able to login to each service you currently have registered in said app, remove MFA, then re-add MFA using an MFA app on a new / current device. This is what many people I know end up forgetting to do when they change devices / phone numbers... only to end up locked out of their accounts.

I mean I got a 1050ti and if I upgrade to a rx590 or 1070 any use for the 1050ti? In same systen

[solid crown]

nope

[frigid topaz]

Damn

[solid crown]

just sell it to recoup some cost

maybe to buy a better gpu

[solid crown]

get like a 2060 at least so you get DLSS

[frigid topaz]

My buddy is selling his rx6600 eventually for 80

[frigid topaz]

So I'll buy that

[subtle storm]

80 cents is too exbensiv

2 much mone!

[frigid topaz]

Lol

[solid crown]

yeah thats much better

[frigid topaz]

It's a good card imo

[graceful meadow]

So i got a led fan in my lenovo pc is there a software to change the color of the rgb?

[subtle storm]

probs

yall ever drink so much coffee youre now immune to caffeine

[solid crown]

2060s would be better imo but good luck trying to find one for 80

[frigid topaz]

Yeah but I'm never ever buying a Nvidia gpu

[subtle storm]

why nit

not**

[frigid topaz]

Got a 1050ti cause it's either that or no gpu

[frigid topaz]

Not my type

I'm prob gonna buy a b580 eventually

[subtle storm]

didnt know we were supposed to date our gpus 🙏

[frigid topaz]

I just prefer amd

[frail topaz]

People can have opinions

Some dont like nvidia for obvious reasons, they dont care about gamers anymore

[subtle storm]

you missed the joke vro

[frail topaz]

I didnt miss the joke, just saying

[subtle storm]

aw

[frigid topaz]

Plus most Nvidia gpus are overpriced to their amd counterpart

[subtle storm]

now im stupid

[frail topaz]

as i said before, nvidia doesnt CARE anymore

[frigid topaz]

Yeah I don't wanna buy a AI card haha

[frail topaz]

90+% of their income comes from AI and shit, they dont care what got them popular in the first place, gamers

[steel umbra]

they’re all overpriced rn

[frail topaz]

and i dont blame them for it, they switched business goals

[steel umbra]

amd is mostly good at raster performance value and maybe some niches

[frigid topaz]

Only Nvidia gpu I'd buy is prob 1080ti

[frail topaz]

but if u want an AI card, nvidia is the only option, just like it was back in the day with gaming

[frigid topaz]

Idc about ai icl

[frail topaz]

now its changed, AMD is the obvious option for some people, especially the 9070XT, Lisa came out to say the the 9070XT is the best selling AMD card in the first week

and will probably be the best selling amd card, ever, in all categories, because its the best.

[frigid topaz]

I still play on 1080p so most gpu to their job

[frail topaz]

Nvidia fucked up the launch of the 50 series SUPER hard, no stock and fake promises

Not to mention the burning power connectors, yet again

And one thing they need to learn from AMD is to give their board partners choice, like AMD have.

Some AMD cards have the 12vhpwr connector, some dont.

Thats choice that AMD has given their board partners

[frail topaz]

Ex. Sapphire nitro+ 9070XT

[frigid topaz]

You're speaking like I'll ever buy the latest gpu ever hahaha

[frail topaz]

Im talking about the current GPU market in general, because its frankly up in flames.

[frigid topaz]

Fairs

We need to go back when a new gpu was like 400

[frail topaz]

we need to go back to when THE best gpu of all times was 699. 1080ti.

[frigid topaz]

500, not 1k and more

[frigid topaz]

Fr

[frail topaz]

not to mention WILDLY available stock

[frigid topaz]

I want a titan x card

Or titan v

[frail topaz]

It is quite a nice one

But im happy they diverted from the titan branding and its back to the xx90

Makes more sense

They only did the titan/other variants with the 900, 1k, 2k series

[frigid topaz]

Fairs

[frail topaz]

if im not mistaken

they brought it back with the 3090

Featuring the most powerful and efficient hardware we've ever designed, the $699 GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is up to 35% faster than the GeForce GTX 1080, and is even faster in games than the $1200 NVIDIA TITAN X.

[surreal cipher]

I have the complete opposite problem of those who have a weak CPU paired with a strong GPU at the moment lol. I have a Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with a Geforce RTX 2080.... I did most of my new build, and then saw how bad the pricing is for the 5000 series and was like "meh... maybe some other time"

[gaunt chasm]

Why does it look like this?

[surreal cipher]

I'm not convinced GPU prices will actually calm down though so eventually I'll probably have to just suck it up and upgrade.

[steel umbra]

hmmm well, this is what drives gpu prices up as well

high demand and the new tariffs

[surreal cipher]

For now, my 2080 can handle most games I play at 1440p well, with a little lag on some but its not unbearable, i'll be stubborn and keep it for awhile

[solid crown]

you want to downgrade?...

[plain cypress]

I would personally switch to am5

[wet ember]

intel mac 😂 so thankful for apple silicon

[dapper light]

I mean it's kinda unfair since the last Intel mac still uses Intel 14nm

A hypothetical new intel mac based on their newest architecture still won't be as good as M series but nowhere near as bad old intel

[ripe copper]

I’m building a budget PC and noticed people on YouTube recommend older CPUs like the Ryzen 5 5600X and Intel 12th Gen. Why is everyone going for older chips now? Last I checked,(2019) it was all about the latest gen.

[gleaming timber]

budget builds need budget chips

[ripe copper]

no i mean back in 2019s

pc build had latest gen cpu like for instance ryzen 5 3500x

[sinful cobalt]

bcs those chips have fallen in price since theres a new meta for the latest platforms

and the fact they’re aged

[surreal cipher]

Each generation has a smaller gap from the previous as time goes on in terms of performance it seems like, so older generation CPUs are now relevant/usable for a lot longer than they used to be.

Seems like they are having trouble making each generation be significantly better than the last.

[ripe copper]

got it , thanks

what abt gpus should i choose with rx or rtx

[surreal cipher]

There are more powerful Geforce cards than Radeon cards if you can afford them. They are extremely pricey and hard to find at the moment. Depends what you want really, if you want the most powerful cards or not.

For a budget build..... I would say AMD

I don't think I would call any of the current generation RTX cards "budget" GPUs

[ripe copper]

fr, their prices are insane

thanks for help

[surreal cipher]

Yeah... my last AMD/ATI graphics card was a Radeon HD 4870 that I bought in 2008 or so. I have used Nvidia since I upgraded from that in 2012. if I had to buy a new GPU right now if my current one died or something I would probably go for a Radeon RX9070XT

Nvidia's prices are so insane, its putting me off using them again.

[ripe copper]

i am currently using a 1650, i am looking forward to upgrading to 7700xt

[ripe copper]

should i consider r7 5700 over r5 5600x coz its cheaper

in here

[rotund mirage]

whos old enough to remember when PCs had a "TURBO" button

pus the button before starting and you would basically overclock the pc

[gleaming timber]

which bundle is more ‘bang for your buck’ paired with a 7900 XT

[distant frigate]

Liquid crystal technology. Interesting

[surreal cipher]

I'm not sure, I have never used either of them, you should probably check benchmarks.

[surreal cipher]

Me, I remember having to use it for some DOS games which just wouldn't work right if the CPU was running at full speed

[mellow cairn]

I'm old enough to remember before then, and also why they had a turbo button.

[rotund mirage]

im a 99 baby but we had a windows 95 pc up until 2005

[surreal cipher]

If I remember right it did the opposite from "Turbo" didn't it? locked the CPU to a slower standard speed that a lot of old software relied on since it just ran at 100% of the CPU with no kind of frame rate limiter.

[gleaming timber]

opinions would be appreciated 😅

[distant frigate]

Space division multiplexing exists too which is gonna help

Wave division multiplexing is reaching its limits

[mellow cairn]

Yeah the entire concept of "frame rate limiter" didn't exist per se. But yeah it downclocked the CPU, because a bunch of software was written assuming the speed of the CPU was fixed (because when it was written..... It was)

[ripe copper]

well unfortunately, im in asia pacific region lol
anyway , i would like to ditch the idea of upgrading to 7700xt too expensive
could suggest alt for 1080p gaming for wz , and upcoming games gta6 atleast 100fps

[surreal cipher]

Yeah, back then everything just ran as fast as it could, no concept of a frame rate limit. If you had a fast CPU... older software just didn't work as expected

[gleaming timber]

i’m targeting 1440

[ripe copper]

i see that but not in my budget

[gleaming timber]

i am probably going to get the 7600x bundle

from benchmarks i’ve watched on youtube, the 9600x doesn’t really have much of a performance difference

[junior valve]

5090 strikes again

[empty quartz]

Seems to be user error this time

Or a manufacturer defect from corsair

[gleaming timber]

getting a 7900xt, what bundle would be better to get with it

[gleaming timber]

i currently have a micro atx case so i’d prefer to keep it, but if the 7700xt is a better deal i’ll get a new case

[ripe copper]

r5 7600 if u want a budget build can use those extra bucks for cabinet , storage , monitor

[frosty prism]

good temps?

[distant frigate]

Damn. That’s awesome.

[ripe copper]

fck it , im geting console.

[twilit scarab]

so im currently visiting family and i brought my current project pc to finish working on it and im using an lg 4k tv that can be downgraded to 1080p in settings. but i cant get this pc to display an image on the tv but it does on my capture card

the pc has an intel core i7 4790 paired with a gt1030

i know its a bottleneck but the gpu is going to replaced its just there for until the new one arrives

anyone have any ideas?

[gleaming timber]

is 750w enough for 76/7700x and a 7900xt

[clever burrow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kfXhdb this good or nah

[hexed tapir]

Nah

[clever burrow]

what can i change abt it

[sharp ivy]

My MSi CR600 has a bunch of modes that you can change on the keypad

like ECO

unironically the ECO button also is for toggling max performance mode

[barren trout]

High key I’d go with a MSRP 5070 over that 4060 at $400

But if you can’t fit it in the budget; maybe cheaper case, ditch the extra fans, cheaper SSD to make room for the extra cost

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DrZqVF most of it

@clever burrow

[barren trout]

Also phantom spirit comes with thermal paste, not sure it’s worth buyin separately

[clever burrow]

oh

[clever burrow]

was it the prices?

[hexed tapir]

Parts and price this is cheaper and will be faster in gaming

Faster gpu and ram

You don't need a top shelf SSD

[clever burrow]

i got the ram cuz of the ssd

oh my gosh bro

i got the ram cuz of the rgb

[hexed tapir]

Cl36 at 6000mhz isn't great

[cinder raptor]

not too much tho

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PWxVZc just the cooler and ram?

is that a 5090 with missing rops

guys can a monitor give virus onto pc like if i buy a really cheap monitor from ebay could it give me a virus or whats wrong with it why is it a such a good deal it seem fishy

[supple ivy]

Hypothetically, sure. But I doubt it. If it's cheap it wont be for that reason, it probably has something wrong with it. If it seems to good to be true it probably is. I would ask to test it before actually buying it.

[junior valve]

probably

[tired geyser]

i wanna buy a good monitor but i kinda dont want to go above 100$ do u hav any reccomendation s friend

[junior valve]

the 4090 ti has a better cooler than the 5090 somehow ( FE )

[thorn pewter]

Get one from Facebook marketplace

You can easily find a 144hz monitor some mom left out that her son doesn't want anymore it smthn

[thorn pewter]

Huh?

[junior valve]

4090 ti allegedly has a 4 slot cooler

[rigid fjord]

i bet you would if you could 3d print the framework for one

Don't have a printer

so that's the only issue?

ughhh okay thank you i hav been looking there ill keep trying

[austere cargo]

i have a spare gf card from a diff pc should I use a 2080 with a i7 8700k or a 2080 with a r5 3600, user benchmarks saying i7 is better

[snow kettle]

@austere cargo i7 is a little faster but also runs hotter, uses more power, ryzen is very efficent, if you dont mind that tho the i7 is technically better

[austere cargo]

okay

ty

[rigid fjord]

use the 3600 with the 2080

[rigid fjord]

lol no it's not

[rigid fjord]

also never use that clowshow of a website to compare cpu's

[boreal crown]

I’m happy with my new lg c4

[hexed tapir]

[rigid fjord]

looks at more being the wa they're holding the camera

https://www.techspot.com/review/1871-amd-ryzen-3600/ i can link a newer one where it shows performance increase when up grading to a 5600/5600x or x3d cpu also, but no, the 8700k isn't the better one to go for @snow kettle

[kindred halo]

The 1050 Ti keeps dying and living ??

[hexed tapir]

3600x was like a non oc 8700k from what I remembered

[kindred halo]

It was working fine earlier yesterday

Then started to have the screen flicker on and off

Which fixed itself upon like 10-20 minutes of load

[kindred halo]

Now it got even worse (10:1 ratio of black screen to visual)

[kindred halo]

Just giving status report on fixing the PC up

I am still doing troubleshooting

Installing newest drivers with the integrated gpu and going to try and power through the DDU even with the blackscreens

Although it could most definitely be a conversion cable / cable issue

Since it's been the same one since 2018

It's a VGA to HDMI cable

Why is troubleshooting so expensive 💔

[rigid fjord]

tbf, you really should do it as dvi to vga

especially if it has a dvi-i port on the card and not a dvi-d

[kindred halo]

I have no idea what the difference is

But it also has a display port

[midnight gust]

i was told by my friend to never turn my pc off but i think thats stupid, is there any reason why he said this ? he wont tell me and is being weird about it now

[kindred halo]

Did he say that there's any problem with your PC

Or was he just giving "advice"

[midnight gust]

no he just said something about never turning it off

but i do it every night and have been for years and no issues so i dont udnerstand

[kindred halo]

He probably works for the local electricity company and wants your money

Anyway nope, there's nothing wrong in turning your machine off

[midnight gust]

oki thanks!

[kindred halo]

Flip it on or off as you please, but use the shut down feature on desktop

Using the power button to shut it off might cause some problems with sync / file corruption if some specific programs are left on during that time

[midnight gust]

oh dang hm

[fast marsh]

looking to upgrade from my gaming laptop to a new one. Currently have an ASUS Tuff F15 RTX 3060 with i7 11370H 16gb ram. Any suggestions?

[solar moat]

upgrade what?

ram?

[fast marsh]

The whole thing

[fast marsh]

They main take away from this chart is that DVI is really old and confusing so you should avoid using it

[rigid fjord]

you can set up a sleep timer tbh, personally my pc never goes off unless an upgrade happens or due to an update causing it to restart, but for yourself you can do either, neither is going to cause any major impact on your system

[midnight gust]

but doesnt that affect your power bill tons

[rigid fjord]

funnily enough, no

when a pc 'sleeps' it goes on idle power, which is basically no more than when you turn it off by shutting it down

the only way to truly have it not use any power when not in use is to turn the power off at the mains

[rigid fjord]

dvi-a being old but dvi-d can easily be directly connected to DP or hdmi tbh

so not really that much of an old connector, vga is old as fuck though

[midnight gust]

hmm well thank u for telling me that

i didnt know it didnt affect the power much

[rigid fjord]

the only way you're pulling way more power is when gaming or anything that does heavy use of your system

for like mine, when under load, i'm using no more than 400-450w

[random gyro]

this was one of the most fun things to figure out when i had my 7770 (we couldn't figure out why my adapter wouldn't work, we had to try like 4 different "DVI adapters" before we found one that worked... because the GPU was digital only so we needed a different adapter because the monitor was VGA)

[humble thistle]

Yo Anyone know why my
Old pc doesn’t turn on?I see the button lighting up but doesn’t show anything on screen

[rigid fjord]

tbf, the 4 pins around the blade on the dvi connector is primarily the analog pins, which is what you need for use with vga when converting dvi to vga

[humble thistle]

And I plugged in my mouse but it doesn’t turn on in either

Everything plugged in tho so Idk

[random gyro]

yeah, the problem is that it did have the pins but XFX never said anywhere that they didn't connect them

[rigid fjord]

so they uae a dvi-d pinout on a dvi-i port, that's absolutely fucked

[humble thistle]

It started making a weird sound

[rigid fjord]

adds that to the pile of why not to get xfx cards

i've recently realized just how much better linux is than windows
but i also haven't figured out why windows performs abnormally badly on this system
stutters and lag everywhere for no reason

I think it's DVI-I

Lemme check

@somber mason Just finished with the new design 😄

[kindred halo]

Nope DVI-D

that is tkinter right?

yay

[hushed tapir]

anyone know why my taskbar dissappeared when trying to open the taskbar start menu?

[clear canyon]

you hit the "hide taskbar" option in taskbar settings

[clear canyon]

i love letting it run all night and waking up to see what number the "Passed" one is at

[clear canyon]

nope, its getting close

[hushed tapir]

itiy

[elder quarry]

filtered

[clear canyon]

yeah the filtered is all normal types of filtering like emojis, spam and other nonsense, which blocked is for inappropriate words that you specifically define yourself. I should add an option within the dashboard to add, remove and see that filter so that users can customize the filter some

[elder quarry]

personally I think a file with blacklists would be better

[clear canyon]

well it will be that, but adding an option within the program to do so just makes it more user friendly and I have the room for it

[elder quarry]

yeah that's good ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frail delta]

Why not just hard code the token?

Then you wouldn’t have to worry about people seeing it

[clear canyon]

im shooting for something that anyone can do, the only thing users must do is supply their own user ID which is just found in the dev side of their twitch account and to get their own Oauth code which you just look up a generator for it

[clear canyon]

bc its user specifc, the ones I use is from my own twitch account

getting them both is 100% free, i just cant supply them

[frail delta]

It was a joke :p

[kindred halo]

A 3090 & 7800 XT are the same price pre-tax, which is a better purchase?

Tom's hardware says the 7800 XT is better statistically

But the 8GB VRAM might come in handy when I upgrade to 1440p

[hexed tapir]

16gb should be plenty for 1440p

[median warren]

Yeah nah 8gb vram is not enough for 1440p, need more than that so

[hexed tapir]

Even new big games 4k only starts to hit or get near 16gb https://www.techspot.com/review/2856-how-much-vram-pc-gaming/

[hexed tapir]

8gb extra 7800xt 16gb vs 24gb 3090

[median warren]

Oh right, yeah 16gb is plenty

I mean I have 16gb vram and I'm able to play assassin's creed shadows, ultra, ray tracing maxed out on 3400x1440p with like 70-90 fps, 80ish on average

[kindred halo]

No FPS shown,,, rip

[hexed tapir]

Tech spot/hardware unboxed shows the 3090 being ahead in one of the newest test

[kindred halo]

It's already a really good looking statistic chart but the fps counter would've helped

[kindred halo]

What's it testing

Which game, settings

1440p lead yes, but not enough info

[hexed tapir]

https://www.techspot.com/review/2960-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070/ max or high settings handful of games cs2 stalker marvel rivals etc etc

[strange atlas]

in am4 is there any cheap mobo that has argb port?

[jaunty chasm]

Hello guys, I wanted to install uBlock Origin, is this the official website?

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

[kindred halo]

From a quick look I managed to interpret that the 24gb VRAM count only really matters in 4K

Also, quick note

The 3090 is cheaper than the 7800 XT

[hexed tapir]

And faster

[kindred halo]

And I'll need a new PSU to run both anyway so that doesn't count

[rigid fjord]

performance wise, the 7800xt, unless you're doing 4k gaming, you don't need more than 16gb vram, as that 8gb extra vram on the 3090 doesn't mean a thing for 1080p/1440p tbh

[kindred halo]

Soo.. Which should I get for standard use?
Both are 460 base (pre tax for the 7800 XT)

I am honestly leaning 3090 for keeping it usable even longer in the future with the extra VRAM

[frail delta]

Yes

https://ublockorigin.com/

[rigid fjord]

if you're only doing 1440p and not going over that, the 7800xt tbh @kindred halo

[jaunty chasm]

Someone said this is a fan site and the github one is the most official site?

[hexed tapir]

Guess they trade blows but 3090 was ahead most the time in the games they tested

[kindred halo]

Is the base performance difference that high

Because the reviews show a 3090 lead in 1440

[frail delta]

Yes, it is, but it just links to the Github and applicable store pages

You're best to install from your browser's store

(Manually added extensions get auto-disabled after 60? days)

[candid bay]

Anyone know what this is? I'm looking at the gpu ji btw

[jaunty chasm]

Ahh ok, the Opera addon store links from github and the fan site are totally the same, thanks!

[rigid fjord]

4070 super/4070 ti is equal to a 3090/3090ti, and tbf, previously a 3090/3090ti lost to a 6900xt/6950xt for 1080p/1440p, the 7800xt is close to a 6900xt in performance

for 1440p, even 16gb vram can be overkill, 12gb vram is ideal but yeah, you're not going to push past that for 1440p gaming

[kindred halo]

Well, the base 4070 is almost as expensive as the 7900 GRE lol

[kindred halo]

I should buy a B580 then :3c /s

[rigid fjord]

a 4070 tbh is a more efficient 3080 in equivalence

[kindred halo]

Oh just if, I definitely would've gotten one over the 4060

[kindred halo]

And a 3080 is 320 US,,,

Although I don't think it's worth getting lol

[rigid fjord]

let me guess, the 10gb version

[kindred halo]

Correct

There's a 6900 XT for 325 anyway

[hexed tapir]

Toms hardware 2022–2024 shows 3090 ahead at non 1080p

[kindred halo]

In .2 fps 💔

What about the 6900 XT

& 6950 XT

[hexed tapir]

69.9% (102.1fps) 53.5% (61.2fps 6900xt

75.3% (110.1fps) 58.6% (67.1fps 6950xt

[dense rock]

Guys is 850W PSU enough for 9800X3D and ROG Astral 4080 450W TDP?

[hexed tapir]

Yes

[dense rock]

Even headroom?

[peak knot]

I’ve done an evil thing

[dense rock]

For OC?

[kindred halo]

Outperformed in 1440p ultra by the 6950 XT

Same for 1080p

And it's 60 US cheaper

[hexed tapir]

You already do evil things by using RGB

[peak knot]

I made a device to annoy my sisters, Has a beeper on it that I can remotely trigger, if it senses something too close with its ultrasonic sensor it tones loudly, it has a tilt sensor in it also so if you pick it up it will also tone loudly, and I programmed it so I can manually beep it for different time lengths

[hexed tapir]

Couldn't she just unplug the wires?

[peak knot]

Each of the anti-tamper detectors trigger for a minute each

[peak knot]

Right now yes, but not once it’s soldered together

[frail topaz]

life hack for brothers

[abstract wigeon]

how did i buy an esp32 and not think of this

[hexed tapir]

Will you encase it in a 3D printed case?

[abstract wigeon]

how are you triggering it? phone app or something?

[peak knot]

I don’t have a 3d printer, I’m gonna steal an old cardboard box they got a toy in and hide it in that

[peak knot]

Has an ir remote and sensor

Can see the sensor between the ultrasonic sensor

[hexed tapir]

Could cut the bottom off a soda can and place it in it and solder the can back together

[peak knot]

They can’t have food/drink in their room would stand out

[hexed tapir]

Damn no drinks

[peak knot]

I’m 14 years older than them

So they just became teens

I’m the cool/annoying older brother, they love coming to my house and playing vr when they stay at my place but I also mess with them a lot

[hexed tapir]

You must have been a real handful if your parents needed to wait 14 years for more kids

[true stirrup]

Yeah you can slam the gas on the power limit for OC

[dense rock]

No cap?

[abstract wigeon]

got a cool techy family or just you?

i got all my tech knowledge from my dad building computers in the 90/00s

[peak knot]

Just me mostly but my family enjoys playing with the stuff I do

[abstract wigeon]

ah nice

[dense rock]

Ngl I do at least wanna make the astral maybe use 500W, nice number.

[hexed tapir]

Just don't go over 600

[true stirrup]

Yeah if the 4080 actually pulls 450W and the 9800X3D pulls 120W you still have a lot of headroom

[peak knot]

I’d not recommend that, not without a 1000W+ unit

[dense rock]

So I gotta get a 1000W PSU

[true stirrup]

Alright FzR said no so listen to him

[dense rock]

It can do 500W, I hope?

[hexed tapir]

You do extreme overclocking collect old tech, but you don't have a 3D printer

[dense rock]

Just 50W more than the current Astral BIOS

[peak knot]

I wouldn’t recommend it daily the transients would be nasty and really pushing an 850W unit

[dense rock]

But the GPU will be fine at 500W? Ppl have done this no prob?

[peak knot]

With what space left would I get into 3d printing

[mellow cairn]

Finite time space and money

[hexed tapir]

You never needed to 3D print anything for the old tech

[peak knot]

The gpu would be fine but not the psu long term, as long as the bios allows for 500W without modding it or shunting it

[dense rock]

I don't mind more fan noise.
Ight so 1000W PSU it is

[peak knot]

I’d recommend a 1200W but 1000W would be bare minimum I’d recommend

And usually the price difference between them isn’t much

[dense rock]

I'll check

[median warren]

There are some good options out there for 1200w psus

Tbh it's kind of crazy how 1000w psus are the norm now

I can't wait for the time when in about 5 years everyone is going to be daily running 1600w psus

[mellow cairn]

Nope

750/850 are normal in the enthusiast space

[median warren]

I guess more people have mid tier pcs than I expected

Most graphics card is the 4060 right?

[dense rock]

Bequiet vs thermaltake?

[frail topaz]

sadly so

[peak knot]

Bequiet is my recommendation

[kindred halo]

@rigid fjord I might just get a 6950 XT tbh

[median warren]

Why sad
