[split stone]

yo i have a problem with my gpu where it is plugged in through the power supply and the ligths are on so i know it has power and in its pcie slot but it isnt showing up in device manager and if i plug a monitor in it is giving no signal

[wispy thunder]

They legally can't - but this IMO was the right move.

People don't realize how dangerous charged caps really are

Draining them improperly (hehe, finger) can literally kill someone

[bleak ledge]

Costs next to nothing to put in some bleed resistors anyway

[wispy thunder]

And have them constantly hot during normal operation? - it's cheaper and more efficient to just put a sticker

[bleak ledge]

true

[wispy thunder]

Anyone who can actually service anything on a PSU can drain a cap properly

[true stirrup]

Tell me about it

[wispy thunder]

so it ends up being more of a deterrent of clueless curious people

[wispy thunder]

Bro...

Ain't no way lmao

[bleak ledge]

Found this in an Amazon review

One on the left looks like a bomb

[true stirrup]

Yeah that is how A650BN is wired up lol

[wispy thunder]

It looks like any other PSU from like 2008 tbh

And it probably is from that era - there's a QC inspection sticker that goes up to 2011

[tired bear]

2011 sticker
nice

[bleak ledge]

I think I have a 2011 PSU still going strong in my NAS

no leaky caps yet

[wispy thunder]

Noted that it's an automatic avoid

That's so sketchy lmao

[tired bear]

good ones used good caps

[true stirrup]

It's still C tier so I guess it's fine

[wispy thunder]

Theoretically fine but I'm just not comfortable with something that isn't even wrapped in like heatshrink

[wispy thunder]

2011 would be fine - issue is if it was between 1999 - 2007 PSU since if it used Chinese PSUs, it'd be part of the capacitor plague where they would die

[bleak ledge]

Probably helps that it's only got 100W of load on it and it's a 500W unit.

[tired bear]

probably

[gleaming rose]

:3

[bleak ledge]

Corsair made one with the modular connectors on the side?

[true stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-12450451651611168773

[wispy thunder]

Yeah they're called shift PSUs

For some really wacko cases where it actually does help with cable management

[bleak ledge]

Probably need a case with plenty of room in the side panel chamber for that to work

[wispy thunder]

Nah

Picture from Reddit in a Fractal North

[hybrid acorn]

I hate my 850w PSU because once you connect everything up I only have two 8 pins to actually use for a gpu

[bleak ledge]

Corsair ones in particular have that horrible mesh material with thick heatshrink tubing on the 24 pin connector

Takes up a ton of room

not sure if they've since changed it since mine is from 2018

[hybrid acorn]

Also why aren't PSU cables standardized yet

[latent gull]

I fucking hate this. Made it impossible to cable manage or route where I needed to, and I did it on my first build, so I thought I was just stupid

[hybrid acorn]

I only recently heard that you need different modular cables for different power supplies

[bitter rampart]

Ok so I tried to make this look insane

[wispy thunder]

Just starts later

Wait bruh

This is the picture I meant to send

[latent gull]

That’s the same picture

[bitter rampart]

Ye

[wispy thunder]

Wait hold up what's going on

[bleak ledge]

Sounds like your Discord is bugging, lol.

[latent gull]

Kek

[wispy thunder]

Yeah.

[wispy thunder]

Oops it works now

I got pranked

[bleak ledge]

Is that some sort of compute cluster?

Reminds me of the utterly ridiculous setup my university had for remote access during the lockdown

[hexed tapir]

How hot was that room

[tired bear]

one server could do a job of all of them

[bleak ledge]

I think they were virtualising CAD via parallels

[hard cedar]

Nvs310 cooler upgrade

[bitter rampart]

Yes

[bleak ledge]

Nice

[glad fog]

hope they had windows open lol

[bleak ledge]

I don't recall it being very warm

But they were all idling

[bitter rampart]

6 promox servers and 33 laptops

33 laptops only pull 225w at idle lmao

[hard cedar]

Love modding gpus

[bitter rampart]

Clean yo sink

[bleak ledge]

What are they all for?

[bitter rampart]

12 of them help me automatically detect stolen artwork from art scammers when I encounter them

Others currently aren't doing anything

[bitter rampart]

(they've taken down 6 scammers last week)

[hexed tapir]

Fix your sinks drain

[bleak ledge]

I modded an R9 280 in a similar way

I think the fans are worth more than the card

[bitter rampart]

Why does that look early 2000s type stuff

[bleak ledge]

The fans came out of some HP workstation

[hard cedar]

Cant cince the apparemment owner wont let us

[bleak ledge]

Probably was early 2000s

[bitter rampart]

Anyway I pay only $25 a month for that space with my equipment INCLUDING electricity

So it's not bad at all

[bleak ledge]

how tf

[bitter rampart]

Even has air conditioning:)

[bitter rampart]

Connections

[bleak ledge]

You're probably paying considerably more than that to power the laptops alone

Costing, I should say

[bitter rampart]

I mean probably

[clear walrus]

my friend wants to upgrade there pc and currently has a 1650 super, r7 2700x, 16gb ddr4, wahts the best component to upgrade if were looking to spend like $300

[bitter rampart]

This was with 31 connected

This UPS has lifepo4 batteries

[bleak ledge]

How much runtime do you get with that?

[bitter rampart]

Quite a bit

[bleak ledge]

I remember we lost power in our office and ran all our desk setups for half a day on an extended runtime APC

[glad fog]

that must be a big unit then lol

[bleak ledge]

Was a 4U rackmount one

But we only run laptops and dual LED monitors

[bitter rampart]

Networking is run off of a UPS and a lithium battery that kicks in after that UPS dies so I can remotely restart things in case utilities outage lasts more then a few hours

[bleak ledge]

So relatively low load

[ripe spire]

okay ummm chat, i think my gpu may have just gone up in flames, everything was fine, everything immediately froze, including audio and everything, then i force restarted my pc with the button and now my discrete gpu isnt being detected but my monitor 1 has an output as both my monitors r plugged into my discrete gpu, wtf is going on @tidal geyser i trust u pls pls 😭

[bleak ledge]

is anything showing in Device Manager?

[ripe spire]

what sthat icon

[bleak ledge]

Pretty sure that's disconnected or disabled

Try scanning for hardware changes

[ripe spire]

it was disabled?

[bitter rampart]

My 5G internet I modified to use a phone plan lol

[ripe spire]

i enabled it, now it shows this

[bitter rampart]

Try installing drivers

[ripe spire]

wow i take discrete graphics for granted asf, this is ass and slow

[bleak ledge]

Radeon are some of the best integrated graphics as well

[bitter rampart]

That overall doesn't sound good if it did that after freezing up

[ripe spire]

wait but im so confused as both my monitors r connected to my discrete gpu so how is it outputting one display rn

what is actually going on, okay it still says that warning thing, should i restart my pc?

[bleak ledge]

yeah

[bitter rampart]

Try reinstalling drivers if that doesn't work

Normally amd cards will output one display even if the driver isn't working

[bleak ledge]

Maybe try the GPU in another PC if you have something suitable

[bitter rampart]

So you might just be running on a card with the basic display adapter driver

[hard cedar]

Made the nvs310 a 3 slot card lol

[bitter rampart]

And that's why it's slow

[bitter rampart]

nvs4090

[bleak ledge]

Are you using thermal adhesive rather than thermal paste?

[hard cedar]

Paste

[ripe spire]

Wait what I restarted and it’s all back to normal

[bleak ledge]

how does that stay in place?

[ripe spire]

What the actual fuck happened, is there like an AMD logs thing I can find? 💀

[bleak ledge]

Windows moment

[hard cedar]

i screwed it in

[ripe spire]

Just my RGB isn’t working

[summer whale]

Windows has an event logger

[ripe spire]

I’m sure I just need to mess with the apps n stuff

[ripe spire]

OH YEAH EVENT VIEWER

[bitter rampart]

Apparently optiplex 7010 can't run proxmox 8 without kernel panics

But it can run Proxmox 7

[latent gull]

Good luck, windows is just gonna give some generic driver error. AMD might have logs

[ripe spire]

wtaf is this

what

[bitter rampart]

Uhhh

[latent gull]

Errors are dumb, try filtering to warning and critical

[ripe spire]

oh sick i got a critical

[latent gull]

That just means the pc hard reset

[ripe spire]

all the other things r wayyyy furhter back in time

so why did it mean that my dgpu stopped working to a degree

[bitter rampart]

Device Association Framework Provider Host (dasHost.exe) is a core Windows service that allows the connection and pairing of both wired and wireless devices with your computer.

Your gpu disconnected maybe

To me it sounds either like driver problems or hardware failure

[ripe spire]

how tho, i wanna know what caused it

[bitter rampart]

When you double click the GPU in device manager what code do you get

I have had windows attempt a driver update when I'm playing a game and this happened but reinstalling driver corrected the issue

[ripe spire]

oh yeah that bit it just says the same as urs does

[bitter rampart]

It's working now?

[ripe spire]

yeah its fine

but i wanna know what caused it

[bitter rampart]

Check windows update history

Maybe windows fault

[plush wren]

[bleak ledge]

everything is a windows fault

[plush wren]

[bitter rampart]

Ok so hear me out

Bios modded optiplex 7020

[ripe spire]

the whole gpu chaos

[plush wren]

youre evil

[bitter rampart]

NVMe speeds are 3400MB/s

[plush wren]

first letter uppercase on phone

[bitter rampart]

So why does nobody use 4th gen if it can reach that speed on nvme

[plush wren]

What

[bleak ledge]

I'm still using a SATA SSD

[ripe spire]

aw man my ram clockspeed reset to 4800 instead of 6000

[plush wren]

ur cooked

[bitter rampart]

I bios modded my optiplex 7020 and it gets 3400MB/s on nvme

[plush wren]

well not really but

[hard cedar]

Made it 6 slots lol

[plush wren]

torture

[bitter rampart]

I think I actully posted a screenshot or something here a long time ago

[latent pasture]

why, theres almost no difference in most usage

[bleak ledge]

I have an NVMe but it's smaller than my SATA one

[latent pasture]

gen5 ssds r like the most pointless use of higher pcie versions

[plain cypress]

Well

[plush wren]

im on gen 3 lmao

[latent pasture]

i wish they did something like make a storinator motherboard that has only 2 lanes for nvme
but the mobo has like 10 nvme slots
so the gen5 can actually be used

[plain cypress]

If the industry moved to 2 gen5 lanes for nvme drives, then it would be great

Here's on older image of what an optiplex can do when bios modded

[tame siren]

evening gents, my pc randomly freezes when im in games (temps are fine i checked), it starts with sound cutting out, then i can tab out of the active program but nothing else responds, except the windows button but i cant click anything in there
is there like a definite reason this can happen?

[bitter rampart]

Discord overlay does that to me, everything except sound

[plush wren]

this happened to me before 👍

idk how i fixed it

[glad fog]

vram maybe

[plush wren]

[tame siren]

also happens when discord isnt open or running at all

[bitter rampart]

I ate ur vram

ez solution is to get eat proof vram

[plush wren]

bro was hungry

[bitter rampart]

I feel gigabytes heavier now tho ;w;

[plush wren]

[tame siren]

my used 2060 super probably got pissed on with how used cards are

[glad fog]

https://tenor.com/view/sopranos-sausage-spin-tony-soprano-james-gandolfini-gif-17816626

[bitter rampart]

Get an NVS4090 like @hard cedar has

[tame siren]

weird thing it started out of nowhere like 2 days ago

[plush wren]

[glad fog]

it could be also your ssd or something

to me it sounds like some sort of memory issue if its when you play games

[tame siren]

im poor as shit i wish i had a 3070 at least

[hard cedar]

lol

[bitter rampart]

I was gonna eat those too but they had stuff on them I didn't want to consume

[latent pasture]

why would u wish to have a bad gpu

[bitter rampart]

:(

[latent pasture]

wish better lmfao

[hard cedar]

its a modded nvs 310

[tame siren]

because my 2060 super is even worse

[bleak ledge]

Plenty of great older games you can run really well on a 2060 Super

[hard cedar]

home made 5090

[bitter rampart]

I wish I had a voodoo 5

[latent pasture]

plenty of great new games run well on 2060 super

[hard cedar]

6 slot gpu dosent exist it cant hurt me, six slot gpu:

[tame siren]

in combination with my absolutely wonderful r5 4500 its ass

[latent pasture]

im p sure thats the problem

[tame siren]

gta runs at 60fps barely

[latent pasture]

fivem?

[bitter rampart]

Now you need RGB lighting around the gap to make it the best gpu ever

[hard cedar]

yes!!

[bleak ledge]

Needs a 2 slot backplate as well

[tame siren]

enhanced and even legacy, no matter if im at 2k high or 1080p max

[bitter rampart]

nah just weld it to the case

[torn bluff]

Is this a good deal?

MacBook Air 13 inch M2 16gb ram/256gb storage

Like new - 13 cycles 100% battery health

680$

[hard cedar]

gonna sell it for 4090$ usd

[bitter rampart]

What generation

[latent pasture]

im looking at new tests and 2060super on gtav single player gets 70-80fps on 1440p maxed

[torn bluff]

Mb M2

[bitter rampart]

No

[torn bluff]

ok

[tame siren]

well i believe those tests arent with a cpu thats a good bit worse than a 3600

[bitter rampart]

Apple M2 chip has hardware vuln

They were only able to correct it on the M3

[latent pasture]

if ur not lazy can u find the prices of m1 but has more storage instead

256gb is kinda ngek

[bleak ledge]

What's a fair price for a GTX 1650?

[bitter rampart]

"A recently discovered flaw in M-series Apple silicon chips could allow attackers to break Macs’ security, according to researchers. “GoFetch” is an attack method targeting data memory-depending prefetchers (DMP). Apple’s M1, M2, and M3 series chips all include this feature—and there’s no way to disable it for M1 or M2."

[latent pasture]

$50

[bleak ledge]

thanks

[torn bluff]

so like what does that supposed to mean

[latent pasture]

or actually why not just look at whatever 2nd hand website is common in ur place and see what sold listings are

[plush wren]

privately disclosed to Apple on 5 December 2023

[latent pasture]

if someone found ur macbook unlocked and open and can use it/run code on it, they can hack it

[hexed tapir]

That goes for everything though

[latent pasture]

exactly

[tame siren]

well if i found someones phone unlocked i could probably download a shitass app that steals their data

but who actually leaves their device unlocked somewhere

[hexed tapir]

That's Google

[latent pasture]

also m1 and m2 can just work around the encryption at the cost of some performance

[tame siren]

imma be real

dont buy a macbook or ipad or something

[plush wren]

No

[tame siren]

just get an ipod

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-cat-surprised-gif-5843462

[torn bluff]

if I leave it unlocked that’s my fault at that point 😭

[plush wren]

bingo

[bleak ledge]

You can set a Mac to automatically lock via bluetooth connection an an iPhone anyway I think

When you walk away

[tame siren]

also what monster leaves their devices unlocked when leaving

[latent gull]

Me

[plush wren]

Why

[latent gull]

Only at work

[plush wren]

You aint slick

[tame siren]

until one coworker finds that certain folder

[latent gull]

I leave mine open at work cause I gotta remote in sometimes

[plush wren]

[tame siren]

if your desk isnt like right in the middle of a giant ass office building you could get away with it

[latent gull]

Mines right by the entrance

[tame siren]

well not the best then id say

[latent gull]

I have to use power toys to keep it on cause group policy forces it to sleep otherwise

[bleak ledge]

My work got pissed at me for doing that

Said it could cause them to fail a security audit

[latent gull]

Our building stays locked and alarmed when we’re not there, and no one walked through the building unattended.

Walk*

walks*

[tame siren]

well then i assume itd be alright

as long as you dont have a coworker that likes to have a bit too much fun

[latent gull]

And if another one of the techs wants into my computer, they can just use Active Directory to change my shit anyways

[latent gull]

Oh we’ve ABSOLUTELY used desktop geese on a coworker before. But we did too many and it ate up all his ram so we haven’t done it again

nicely cooking everything on the board

[empty quartz]

Fun fact; i somehow taught myself how to whistle at 16khz

[plush wren]

[bleak ledge]

I wish these weren't so expensive

[plush wren]

well they arent

if you have enough money

[bleak ledge]

costs the same as an RTX 4060 lol

I'm just stingy

[empty quartz]

Redundant psu’s for servers

[bleak ledge]

I need one for my NAS

[empty quartz]

Want*

[bleak ledge]

yes

[empty quartz]

nobody needs a server psu unless their system is a server

[frail topaz]

Ace, hey!!!

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

:3

[bleak ledge]

It's using server parts if that counts

[empty quartz]

Is it in a server chassis?

[bleak ledge]

used to be, but it's in a Node 804 now

[bitter rampart]

That meme tho

[bleak ledge]

1U case was too loud

[empty quartz]

So you dont need a server psu, you want one

[bitter rampart]

It's like, plagued me for 4 years

[plush wren]

how to get rich fast

[empty quartz]

For my nas, i just use an old corsair psu

[plush wren]

[tame siren]

oh boy do i have something for you

[frail topaz]

So bored rn

Want new computer stuff waaaaa

[plush wren]

do a backflip

[azure topaz]

old alien ware aio in a nas crazy

[frail topaz]

Its almost1

[plush wren]

120mm aio 🔥

[tame siren]

its 120mm too

[azure topaz]

i mean it’s a server who cares

[plush wren]

its ok

[empty quartz]

You’re gonna flip shit when you find out its an alienware aurora r4 mobo too

[tame siren]

its got a better psu than my pc

[empty quartz]

Lga 2011

[empty quartz]

This psu is overkill ngl

[swift moss]

Fr

[empty quartz]

Its an 8c16t xeon that only pulls like 90W

[swift moss]

Most home servers are just Frankenstein leftovers

[tame siren]

my cpu pulls like 60 at most

plus its absolute ass on top

[fiery pasture]

Literally mine

[empty quartz]

What cpu

[tame siren]

r5 4500

[empty quartz]

Better cpu than my xeon

@tame siren my xeon 2650 is slower than a stock i7 4790k

[tame siren]

take a 3600, make it worse by like >20% and youve got my shitbox

[bitter rampart]

NOOOOOO

[plush wren]

[frail topaz]

E5 broadwell-ep xeons are GOATED.

Change my mind

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-cat-surprised-gif-5843462

[empty quartz]

I dont have broadwell

[tame siren]

doubt your cpu is running games tho

[frail topaz]

Haswell too

[empty quartz]

My xeon isnt haswell

[frail topaz]

Haswell and broadwell EP E5's are goated because theyre cheap as fuck and super good

[empty quartz]

If only i wasnt on x79

[frail topaz]

Yeah its SB-EP right?

[empty quartz]

I think?

[frail topaz]

X79 is 2011-3 no?

Or is it 2011

[empty quartz]

Its sandybridge ep

[empty quartz]

2011

[frail topaz]

I can never remmeber

[empty quartz]

2011-3 is x99

[frail topaz]

Yeah thats what i said

[plush wren]

[latent gull]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/350719486959157258/1243890715608748103/caption.gif

[frail topaz]

[empty quartz]

X99 is xeon v3

[frail topaz]

With a e5-2680v4

[frail topaz]

And v4

[empty quartz]

Ill give you my x79 system 🗣️

My shitty alienware board only has 4 sata ports

[frail topaz]

14c28t@3.6G(?)

[tame siren]

also uh to compare apparently my shitbox 4500 is about the same in gaming performance as a 4790k which i definetly think could be possible

any even remotely cpu intensive game and it just full on shits itself

[empty quartz]

My 8c16t is slower than a 4c8t in r23 to put in perspective

[tame siren]

pbo doesnt work at all and dont even start with hyperthreading

[empty quartz]

At least you can use your pc without a gpu

[tame siren]

no, no i cant

[frail topaz]

The 2650 is 8c? Damn

[empty quartz]

I have to have a gpu in my system for it to even work

Angrily beeps at me without a gpu

[tame siren]

the 4500 doesnt have integrated graphics, only the U does and thats a laptop cpu

[frail topaz]

Yeah thats the bad thing..

[brazen wind]

I think I have to go through the RMA process for Nvidia and I anticipate it being a massive pain in the ass

[frail topaz]

Mine boots just no display

[brazen wind]

[empty quartz]

i have to get my battery powered display in order to boot up my nas

[frail topaz]

LOL

[empty quartz]

I think im gonna get myself a dual socket lga 2011 board

I have a shit ton of ddr3 collecting dust

[azure topaz]

i’m gonna get a 2683 v4 for mine

[bronze summit]

I'm starving I want to eat fries so bad

[empty quartz]

Buy me a 2697v2

[frail topaz]

Get a 2698v4

20c40t MMMMMMMMAHAJTBSM

[azure topaz]

no i want freq and cheap

[frail topaz]

Its like 60 bucks

[empty quartz]

2699v4>

[azure topaz]

and a 2683 is like 18

[frail topaz]

wayyyy too expensive

[empty quartz]

They go for $18 cad on ali

[frail topaz]

2699v4.

are you SURE thats right.

[empty quartz]

Nvm

[frail topaz]

Exactly

[empty quartz]

It was a multi cpu listing

[frail topaz]

Eeeexactly

[empty quartz]

[frail topaz]

yeah thats what imsaying

[small ridge]

If I get the direct die frame V2 from TG for ryzen 7000x3d, do I still need shorter mounting hardware to use it with an AIO or does the direct die frame negate the need for the shorter mounting hardware?

[frail topaz]

2698v4 is a lot less for not too much of a performance hit

[tame siren]

some incredible specs right here

[grizzled frost]

the highest end CPU for a given platform tends to hold value a lot more than the rest

[limpid dune]

I think it's the 2699A V4 that is the "unicorn CPU" that goes for >$500 easily

[grizzled frost]

because people have a given platform, and just want the best CPU they can slot in

[tame siren]

2022 and 8mb cache is criminal, also clock speeds are less than ideal if i may say so

[frail topaz]

2699 vs 2698:

• 2698 has 2 less cores
• Same base and boost clock
• 2699 has 10w higher TDP

and thats about it

[frail topaz]

not worth it at all imo

[empty quartz]

My 2650 has a tdp of 95W

[bronze summit]

I bought a 2005 Logitech MX518

[limpid dune]

the 2699P has double the TDP (330W) and it can indefinitely turbo all cores to like 3.6GHz

[frail topaz]

same boost clocks(200M higher base), c/t counts as 2699v4

[high elm]

Av4 isnt too rare i can buy it for $230 rn

Cv4 on the other hand

[frail topaz]

no it doesnt? 2699AV4 is 145W

[limpid dune]

mb I meant the P model

[frail topaz]

i mean the P isnt too widespread

intel deosnt even have an ark/sku page for it

[limpid dune]

it was only produced in a limited run for Ebay's internal servers

they regularily go over $800 at auction because it is by far the fastest LGA 2011 CPU, I knew a guy once that had two in a dual socket machine

[glacial kraken]

Bruh

[limpid dune]

they destroy motherboards tho because they pull a lot of amps

[frail topaz]

if ur gonna go duel you might as well go for E7's

[glacial kraken]

I dropped my phone and it cracked my screen

[high elm]

a decent X99 should work right

[whole garden]

Oof

[frail topaz]

a very decent one

[glacial kraken]

It's not even physically cracked in the glass somehow

[whole garden]

What phone

[glacial kraken]

It's only the underlayer

[high elm]

yeah something like a Deluxe II should work

[frail topaz]

at that point just get 2 E7-8894V4's and call it a day

[glacial kraken]

Z flip 3 and it broke my MacBook Pro

[whole garden]

Damn

[limpid dune]

in theory yeah, but 2699P are extremely rare

[glacial kraken]

I must have cracked the LCD and not the glass

[frigid blade]

Bro, I was gonna lie that my package didn’t come for a free refund, and the thing was fucking empty 😭

[frail topaz]

you'd be better off just getting the normal 2699v4's there are tons of them for a good price

[whole garden]

You did

[frail topaz]

but is it cool that there are special 2699's floating around

[glacial kraken]

Lucky I have full applecare

[limpid dune]

yeah, you could go to LGA-3647 for less money than a 2699P

[frail topaz]

i hate that socket

stupid ass fucking mounting system

[limpid dune]

24 Skylake cores for cheaaaap... 🤤

nay, ever since I got my 7900X3D I swore off of Xeons

[frail topaz]

sure but doesnt change the fact that its stupid

[azure topaz]

crazy how even that nowadays is faster

[limpid dune]

yeah, I was considering a dual 6138 workstation until I learned that the 7900X3D is actually faster in most workloads, and the 9950X obliterates them

[azure topaz]

yeah

[frail topaz]

xeons are nice for servers tho

[tame siren]

how the fuck are 7900gre's cheaper here than a 4070/5070

[frail topaz]

especially the cheapass ones

[limpid dune]

AM5 is nice for servers

[azure topaz]

frrrr

all the lanes in the world in the palm of my hand

[limpid dune]

8600G is a dream homelab chip

true, if you need RAM and PCIe, AM5 won't cut it

[azure topaz]

we all know that our servers sit at like 18% cpu usage so the lane count matters infinitely more for future expand ability

[frail topaz]

fuck you warship

holy shit xeon scalable cpus are DIIIIIRT cheap

[tame siren]

all that for the insane price of $4 on ebay

[limpid dune]

the spanish armada at the battle of trafalgar:

[azure topaz]

i don’t get the shit ones

[frail topaz]

6$ btw

[azure topaz]

anything older than haswell,avx 2 really, is a no

[frail topaz]

this is skylake LOL

[tame siren]

how could you say no to a $4 cpu and $16 mobo

[azure topaz]

yeah now tell me a board

[limpid dune]

I have an i7-6800K lying around, I should bump it up to a 6950X for a homelab

[grizzled frost]

i'd say no because there's no way they function let alone perform well enough to not be e-waste

[frail topaz]

shhhhhhhhhhhhh

[azure topaz]

and cooler

[frail topaz]

Thank you openAI

[azure topaz]

and a chassis and shit

[bronze summit]

A guy is trying to poach me into his pizza place

[frail topaz]

who needs one shove it in a drawer

[bronze summit]

He's offering 20$ an hour to make pizzas

[azure topaz]

i care somewhat for the health of my components

my 5810>

[grizzled frost]

i hate how well EPYC chips retain value

[limpid dune]

hear me out: homelab based on the 7980XE

[azure topaz]

yeah even the shit ones aren’t priced good

[azure topaz]

very good i tbink sims is

@tidal geyser is yours 7940 or 80

[frail topaz]

holy shit LGA3647 motherboards are SO expensive

[grizzled frost]

I want the pcie, but i ain't paying 1,000usd for a 16 zen3 cores

[azure topaz]

YES.

[frail topaz]

sim is very asleep

the cpus are that dirt cheap that i might as well just get one to put on my keys lol

[azure topaz]

he’ll see it and we’ll revive the convo at some point tomorrow we like X99

[grizzled frost]

what would be the best platform for dual 16x electrical slots at gen3 speed or higher

[frail topaz]

X99/2011-3 is so nice

[grizzled frost]

and by best i mean the cheapest

[azure topaz]

haswell lol

haswell by a lot

[frail topaz]

or broadwell-ep

[limpid dune]

mods are asleep, post LGA-2066

[frail topaz]

X299 shhh

[azure topaz]

V3 or V4 xeons

[plush wren]

bros still talking about this

[alpine blaze]

X299 garbage

[azure topaz]

old workstations do this really well tbh

[frail topaz]

noone will find out

[frail topaz]

i miss the XE cpus they were nice, intel HEDT was nice in general

[grizzled frost]

who tf is buying a i7-5960X for 100usd

[azure topaz]

previously mentioned 5810 is pretty dtacked

most of those slots are x16

[bronze summit]

A time traveler

[limpid dune]

ig I could just win the lottery and then game on a TR PRO 7995WX

that might be easier

[alpine blaze]

I have 2 16x slots and 2 8x slots all gen 4

[grizzled frost]

if it claims support for "DDR4 1600/1866/2133" i could probably run 3200 anyways right?

[frail topaz]

possibly not

[azure topaz]

well, 2 of them are then 1 x8 and then one x4

[frail topaz]

x3 pcie cursed

[grizzled frost]

1dpc maybe?

[azure topaz]

it’ll downclock but if you have 3200 ecc you should sell it 💀

[plush ether]

yo i got a b650 eagle ax with a ryzen 5 7500f in it. my build is around a month old and everything has been going smoothely but just today i saw the the cpu debug light is on but nothing is really visibly wrong with the pc. what could it be ?

[alpine blaze]

I can’t do over 2933 with 2dpc on trx 40

[azure topaz]

i think first gen ddr4 imc is good up to like 2666 at most

[flint badger]

anyone know how i get my second monitor to only display desktop 2

[grizzled frost]

I don't have anything, i'm looking at some server parts

[azure topaz]

oh just get cheap 16GB ECC D4 dimms

like 8

should be 10/stick

[grizzled frost]

i kinda forgot how inefficient old chips were

[frail topaz]

Where

[azure topaz]

ebay

[grizzled frost]

2x the power consumption of a 5600 just to get half the performance

[frail topaz]

Fair

[azure topaz]

they’re 10-12$ a stick for ecc rdimms

16 gig

32gb is better value but it’s hard to need that much ram

in a homelab anyways

[grizzled frost]

i honestly might just go AM4, then use two x8 gen4 slots

[azure topaz]

big L though if your device doesn’t support g4

like what ur slotting in

[grizzled frost]

NIC, GPU, or maybe an HBA

i want a "tinkering" machine aside from my dedicated server

[azure topaz]

most of those will not be gen 3 on the cheap side

meant 4

mobile is hard okay

[grizzled frost]

32gbps x8 gen3 ain't horrible for my usecase

[azure topaz]

yeah true

[grizzled frost]

could do up to 25g networking

[gleaming rose]

rate the deal

[grizzled frost]

delete

[gleaming rose]

y

[grizzled frost]

it has the address of that store mate

[gleaming rose]

and?

its not a huge secret what city i live in anymore honestly

[bronze summit]

It's not like you will physically go to the store and just hunt for ech0

[azure topaz]

i am

[gleaming rose]

you may find me, we go like once every three days

[bronze summit]

Personally not into steaks, good one tho

[azure topaz]

as we speak i’m on the trail he gave me the final clue

[gleaming rose]

if its you i don't mind :3

[bronze summit]

[azure topaz]

pattern recognition autism

[bronze summit]

Currently on a mission to get one of these

[grizzled frost]

since it's meat, it's gonna have a unique barcode, meaning you can search for the transaction at the store

all modern grocery stores keep logs of every transaction for years back

[gleaming rose]

yes but do you have access to it

[grizzled frost]

if they put in a loyalty code, you can lookup their home address, legal name, phone number, and email

[grizzled frost]

find a bored kid that works there

[steep raptor]

Is buying a pre made NAS a good idea for a plex server & home assistant?

[frail topaz]

no

[gleaming rose]

they prob know me

[azure topaz]

not really

[grizzled frost]

you think they're gonna know who they're finding the transaction for prior to already having looked it up

[azure topaz]

only need one frame of the address in my meta raybands recording

[grizzled frost]

grocery stores hoard a scary amount of info locally

most stores will have a couple server racks for stuff like that

[gleaming rose]

my timbers are shivered

[steep raptor]

So custom build one?

[grizzled frost]

It's not something anyone could feasibly do, but technically a possibility

[azure topaz]

yes

[bronze summit]

A premade Nas?

[azure topaz]

leave no trace

just kidding just don’t be a freak

[bronze summit]

I live in 123 Conch Street

[azure topaz]

goayed

[grizzled frost]

Oh and you can usually search for this stuff from any location, it's all shared

so someone at a publix halfway across the country can look it up

[azure topaz]

so you can use your rewards number at any store

[gleaming rose]

big womp

[azure topaz]

no other reason at all

not for selling to advertisers no

[bronze summit]

Womp womp

[grizzled frost]

It's used to process returns from any store

Well at least the "in-store lookup" aspect

[azure topaz]

well and probably rewards

[gleaming rose]

i give you permission to say told ya so if someone shows up at my door

[bronze summit]

Me and ech0 are actually doing an LTT Discord Meetup in Maryland so who cares

[grizzled frost]

consolidate the malware from 128 different drives and load it all onto one

[gleaming rose]

yea

[bronze summit]

Everyone's invited btw all you need to do is just go

[grizzled frost]

Tea included?

[azure topaz]

yes but no british people

[grizzled frost]

Glad to hear

[gleaming rose]

agreed

[grizzled frost]

i'm an american tea lover

[gleaming rose]

no french either

[azure topaz]

could let that slide

(i have no idea what’s happening)

[plush wren]

guys hows your visualization ability

[grizzled frost]

you think i do?

[balmy tapir]

W

[grizzled frost]

depends

[plush wren]

bro i dont know about mine

https://tenor.com/view/trip-homer-autsch-nein-gif-22036301

[grizzled frost]

I like "know" what i'm picturing, but i can't actually see it

[plush wren]

same

[grizzled frost]

Like a computer without a video output

[plush wren]

well like i can imagine what it looks in my head but not vividly

[grizzled frost]

it's all there, and i can get all the info, but no display out

[plush wren]

ok but are u getting the info from memory or

[azure topaz]

well isn’t that what a computer does too

[grizzled frost]

i wonder how many cores my brain is

[plush wren]

bros ai

[azure topaz]

me as well

[grizzled frost]

gotta be at least 2

i wanna know who unironically listed a 5800x3d for 1k usd

[azure topaz]

idk man

[steel umbra]

even first intel cpu would easily outcalculate your brain at specific tasks

[azure topaz]

we can’t even multi task we’re no more than a single core no ht

[grizzled frost]

i think i'm a 5

[balmy tapir]

my brain is atleast 2c/4t

how many mhz am i running at tho

[grizzled frost]

woah there buddy, ain't no one mentioned hyperthreading

[plush wren]

[sinful cobalt]

i run on a single core with increased L3 cache fr

[plush wren]

im like a 2 and a 3 at the same time

[steel umbra]

0hz

[balmy tapir]

damn

[grizzled frost]

how much was a 7500f going for on aliexpress prior to LTT finding out about it?

[plush wren]

when did they find about it

[steel umbra]

it’s in megatransfers

[balmy tapir]

wow brain waves range from 0.1 to 100Hz+

[bleak ledge]

https://youtu.be/iLHC2_gByQ8 I swear this had a different title before?

[plush wren]

the fuck lol

they used to be 130-150 like

[grizzled frost]

in their video they show a listing for 207.79cad or 145.94usd

[plush wren]

6-12 months ago

[grizzled frost]

but i can find ones for like 125usd pretty easily

[plush wren]

different retailers available in canada ig

[grizzled frost]

it's all aliexpress, should be more or less the same sellers

we ain't talking no amazon

[plush wren]

also about the visualization thing like if u tell me the detail i can imagine it but i dont do it off the bat if i think about an apple for example

[steel umbra]

7400f is slightly cheaper in some regions

also consideration

[plush wren]

well some dont ship everywhere

ones focus may be usa, others worldwide

do we like the mobo or no
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-EAGLE-AX#kf

4x16 physical slots is cool

Why are P/S2 ports still on boards?

[bleak ledge]

I assume they aren't all x16 electrically

[grizzled frost]

there isn't enough pcie lanes on AM5 for even 2 full fat pcie x16 slots, let alone 4

[bleak ledge]

I guess they could use a PCIe switch to accomplish that to an extent, but not on a B650

[plush wren]

my friend has this i believe

https://tenor.com/view/dead-cat-cpr-funny-animals-cute-revive-gif-13712625

[grizzled frost]

top slot is PCIe 4.0 x16, next two are PCIe 3.0 x1, last one is PCIe 3.0 x1 but from the chipset

should be able to split to 2 x8 slots though

[tulip sparrow]

Yes I have it and I only have a single thought in my head at a time to boot

So yeah special on multiple accounts

[plush wren]

skill issue

idk if i have it or not

[grizzled frost]

going with the MSI PRO B840-P WIFI instead, since it has two electrical x16 slots

albeit one at gen3 speeds

[plush wren]

[grizzled frost]

and wifi7, and 5g lan

all for only 160usd

[plush wren]

[tulip sparrow]

I basically don't have a "minds eye" at least not consciously. I do dream tho so its there in my subconscious

[plush wren]

vros i need to wake up in 4 hours good night

[grizzled frost]

It's a really appealing board actually

[plush wren]

idk the fuck is considered as a visualization

[grizzled frost]

white, but idc it's going in a server chassis anyways

[tulip sparrow]

@plush wren close your eyes do you see anything at all or is it just black?

Just black and yeah you have it

[grizzled frost]

well ig more silver+black

[grizzled frost]

wait, do people actually see images they imagine when they close their eyes?

[tulip sparrow]

@grizzled frost many do yes

[gleaming rose]

looks nice

[night urchin]

Does the MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI Motherboard support RAM and CPU overlocking or just RAM

[tulip sparrow]

I do not see anything when I close my eyes and try and picture something

[gleaming rose]

yes

[night urchin]

What’s yes

[gleaming rose]

both

[night urchin]

Alr thx

[grizzled frost]

• two distinct options
• "yes"
• confused noises

Wifi 7 🤤🤤🤤

[grizzled frost]

actually now i'm confused

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure I have a wifi6 board

[random gyro]

I only use MLO tbh

[grizzled frost]

it says 2.5g lan here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B840-P-WIFI/Specification
but 5g lan here: https://us-store.msi.com/Motherboards/AMD-Platform-Motherboard/PRO-B840-P-WIFI

then im 5 on that scale

Factories are becoming more automated which imo is largely a great thing

[azure topaz]

bring back leaded solder

lying SoB

[tulip sparrow]

I am going to assume thats a typo and they forgot to hit 2. in front of that 5

[distant frigate]

Also this looks cool lol

Crazy how far they have come in the past 100 years or so. Factories used to be dangerous in the early 1900’s actually

[plush wren]

Ok so i've determined why my supermicro server keeps dying randomly

[random gyro]

I've seen too many people banned because of that

[bitter rampart]

I'm only able to access the bios once after cmos reset and the random shutoffs are due to the bios not supporting the year 2025 in the date

[gleaming rose]

everyone at all times

[tulip sparrow]

I am currently connected to my phones hotspot because spectrum is not working

[gleaming rose]

spectrum is ass

[timid scroll]

Why

[tulip sparrow]

When its the only one in town you don't have a choice

Same with comcast up north

[timid scroll]

I feel you. I have spectrum but all streets around me on all sides have att fiber

But tbh its pretty reliable here

[gleaming rose]

yesh it was between spectrum and tmobile here

[random gyro]

sameeeee, my neighborhood doesnt have fiber yet 😦

[gleaming rose]

yeah same here

[timid scroll]

T-Mobile has coverage in my location however that’s a whole story. If it rains to much my phone goes to sos only and at best I have 1 bar of 5g or 2 bars of 4g lte

I’m curious what I would get if I bought there AMAZING home internet

I get 10 mbps on my phone rn with them on 1 bar of 5g standing on my roof

[gleaming rose]

here the tmobile internet is faster and more reliable than spectrum
spectrum gets knocked out in every storm but tmobile works even when the power dies; we've never lost internet

i get 1gbps down 50mbps up

[timid scroll]

On home internet from tmoble rn?

[gleaming rose]

yeah

[timid scroll]

How close is your tower??

[gleaming rose]

dips to 700 on busy times

[gleaming rose]

like 2 miles?

[timid scroll]

No that can’t be

[gleaming rose]

it is though

[timid scroll]

Do you have lots of trees around

[gleaming rose]

yes

[timid scroll]

I have 1 tower to my east around a mile away and one to my north abt a mile away

Nothing closer

So how does that work lol

[torn bluff]

is 13 inch macbook air m3/16gb/256gb good for 800$

[sinful cobalt]

no

[torn bluff]

ok

[gleaming rose]

our towers are very good here

[random gyro]

cods the only game to make my fps worse with fsr

sounds about right

[timid scroll]

Where?

Ohio?

[gleaming rose]

georgia

[timid scroll]

Bro how???

[torn bluff]

what price range should i look for

[gleaming rose]

sitting on the couch w my phone

[timid scroll]

HOW

That’s more than what I can buy with spectrum

That’s crazy

[gleaming rose]

also it seems like the towers are more than 2mi away

[timid scroll]

You have the map?

[gleaming rose]

yea

[timid scroll]

There’s no way lol

If only I could get at least 100 meg here in DOWNTOWN Orlando

Ever since I got a message “your local tower has been upgraded” my speeds went from 50 ish mbps to well 10ish on good days

[gleaming rose]

also top 10 tmobile features

[timid scroll]

Let’s be fr here tho

There aren’t that many places where this would help

Even out in the middle of the Everglades there’s tmoble edge

[gleaming rose]

youd be surprised, and it works pretty well

[timid scroll]

Doesn’t it only work if nothing is around

[gleaming rose]

no, i got a lock in a forest

a dense one too

[timid scroll]

And can you like call?

[gleaming rose]

just texting but yes in a few months

data is planned for 2026

[timid scroll]

I remember when they said this would be free

Included or sum

[wet ember]

Whoa gigabit speeds? What provider?

[gleaming rose]

im switching to usmobile asap

[gleaming rose]

tmobile 5g

[timid scroll]

Why if T-Mobile works (well) for you

[gleaming rose]

because tmobile is $80/mo

[wet ember]

My parents fios isn’t even close to those speeds

[gleaming rose]

and usmobile has tmobile, verizon & att networks all at once

[wet ember]

The fastest fios has been was around 600 Mbps download

[pulsar root]

moving to W11

[gleaming rose]

*two of your choice at a time on one device

how much yall think ill regret it lol

[pulsar root]

since launch

been using w11 at work and its come a long way but its still yuck

[timid scroll]

What phone?

[wet ember]

I’m gonna use W10 until maybe the end of this year

I dual booted W11 for a bit and it was fine on unsupported hardware

pro maxes are heavy in general

cant say abt 15 and 16 tho

[wet ember]

If my 14P weighed as much as the 15P, it would be perfect

[timid scroll]

My friends 15 pm is crazy light compared

[wet ember]

Yeah titanium makes it lighter

[timid scroll]

I’m gonna weigh my phone

1.8 lbs

With MagSafe wallet

[wet ember]

jeez

[timid scroll]

It’s manageable

[sinful cobalt]

i shall get a potato laptop and setup moonlight

[gleaming rose]

i need a laptop with a pcmcia slot

[random gyro]

Flint and steel

[gleaming rose]

Chicken Jockey

[mellow cairn]

excellent.

[random gyro]

Average Minecraft movie watcher

(US Only)

[bleak ledge]

My Latitude E5500 has one of those

half decent laptop

[gleaming rose]

its probably an expresscard

[random gyro]

Ali express

[gleaming rose]

wait actually maybe it does

[bleak ledge]

thing is an absolute unit

4GB

Might be able to upgrade to 8GB, not sure

idk if I want to spend this on DDR2 lol

[sinful cobalt]

no

[lean flame]

chunky.

[gleaming rose]

if you're sure it has a pcmcia slot and want to sell it hmu

just sayin ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solid quail]

Hmmm, tempted to do a 100-150€ gaming pc again

Picked up a mini pc with 12th gen i5 for free some time ago

[gleaming rose]

this doesnt look like a game

looks like a start button and then a video that plays

[indigo basin]

charging connected device via USB
the connected device is a fucking powerbank that's just been charged to 100%

man this powerbank is so busted

[blissful kernel]

bro what did i just watch......

[gleaming rose]

then why are you asking for opinions 😭

[indigo basin]

what.

[gleaming rose]

"opinions on my game please"
look inside
no game

[indigo basin]

it looks like it's made in pygame

how did you do this with unity

[blissful kernel]

Nice soundtrack man

[indigo basin]

made in PowerPoint

hell this whole thing could be made in PowerPoint

[blissful kernel]

man leave him alone

lol

[indigo basin]

I'm gonna make your game in PowerPoint

[gleaming rose]

i will say one thing, if you're serious about programming keep at it and ignore us

[indigo basin]

Liverpool is an interesting place

is this a good way to test how fast my database can be queried

[kind marlin]

tiny 11 or tiny 10 install

[blissful kernel]

YES

PLEASE

i ❤️ you

[indigo basin]

do it in powerpoint

how are you doing 2k fps with a still image 😭

why..

and im about to make it

[mellow cairn]

I mean it is A way.

[indigo basin]

database being a collection of like 200 json files 😭

[mellow cairn]

my games going to have unicorns and rainbows

[indigo basin]

my games going to have thousands of balls

[indigo basin]

i mean it gives what seems to be a reasonable time

dont you have to pay for copyrights

[mellow cairn]

the thing is, it often doesn't matter what the actual performance is - the more important thing is that you have a reference point

[indigo basin]

wdym by reference point

like something to compare to what it should say?

[mellow cairn]

exactly

[indigo basin]

not actually sure how to get that

[mellow cairn]

you've got that - it's a baseline

[indigo basin]

the 11.99ms?

[mellow cairn]

exactly

[indigo basin]

i guess it isnt really a true measure of latency since its measuring the time for it to perform a full pass of reading it

but, its still a measure of how long the database takes to respond as an abstraction

# Read data
    if action.upper() ==  "READ":
        async with db_lock: # Prevent concurrent r/w
            try:
                async with aiofiles.open(path, "r") as file:
                    contents = await file.read()
                    dat = json.loads(contents)
                    if item == "all":
                        return dat
                    else:
                        dat = dat[item]
                        return dat
            except FileNotFoundError:
                return None

[mellow cairn]

exactly.

[indigo basin]

you said it is A way, how else would i do it?

[mellow cairn]

oh there's many ways, you can get all excited with instrumentation and monitoring and blah blah blah

[indigo basin]

sounds joyful 🫠

another thing ive noticed
with my hard drive, i got +/- 11-14ms latency times

with the new ssd, times are the same / slower

which shouldnt happen?

ive checked all the drivers and firmware

[mellow cairn]

what are you doing and what is the SSD

[indigo basin]

crucial p3 plus

[mellow cairn]

not to mention if you're talking about a database on the SSD, it's probably purely from ram anyway

[indigo basin]

its loaded from disk

bad practice, but i dont really know how to fix it

[mellow cairn]

ok that's not a database

[indigo basin]

its a collection of json files that act remotely close to a collection of data 😭

[mellow cairn]

that is spitting in the face of decades of computer science

[indigo basin]

reminds me of what gemini called it

"a steam pile of turd, an insult to computers"

but like i dont really know how to use SQL
seems pretty daunting

since all my knowledge is selftaught

my school is still teaching us how to use bloody operators

[frigid blade]

Oh yah, first kit installed

Just kidding, that’s the shitty old laptop lol

96 gigagoons of memory

Now it’s running 6800

Yipee

@tidal geyser whats that stress test for memory called?

[stoic nova]

Ah yeah, that would be GoogleChrome.exe

[azure topaz]

on ryzen? no bueno

there’s 0 scenario where 6800 makes sense
