6800 isn’t possible 1:1 and it’s too slow to want to do it over even 6000 in 1:2

[plain cypress]

But if it's free?

[frail delta]

Time to upgrade to a real database

Better yet,

[mellow cairn]

that's MORE of a database

[frail delta]

It’s a real database for real business

You know it’s for real business because it can’t run on macOS

[frigid blade]

It’s on Intel

Atm

[frigid blade]

It’s not, I plan to run 6000 1:1 later tho at 192GB

I’ve seen it tried and stress tested

[sinful cobalt]

[thorny saddle]

well at least know who it is 🙂

[pale lava]

[latent pasture]

asrock is sus rn but that maybe just bc theres more ppl who buy asrock

[thorny saddle]

american football is good that song is like my soph/jr year of high school 🙂

[thorny saddle]

I prefer B650E, and in that price I'd say ASRock Taichi if you can find it

[random gyro]

well is that any better description on what my issue is

[thorny saddle]

check the resolution/scaling

[random gyro]

nvm i fixed

just unplug the vga

[pale lava]

Sadly It's not available in my region
I'll be picking the msi b650 tomahawk as my first mb for my fist pc

[thorny saddle]

[pale lava]

Egypt atm

[thorny saddle]

yeah no idea whats available there

[pale lava]

Yeah lol

[bleak ledge]

I didn't know livestreams could be bugged on YouTube

[bronze summit]

I tried warzone once today

[thorny saddle]

Ya?

[bronze summit]

It was fun mainly because I get to harass a streamer with an AMAX

[thorny saddle]

How did you know they were streaming

[bronze summit]

TTV handle, brainrot chatter and corny skin

[bronze jay]

It's insane that in order to wear down my 4tb ssd, I would have to write 1tb per day for around 6.5 years. I've decided not to factor in ssd write durability as something to worry about anymore

[hexed tapir]

I'm not really shocked they sell $1.50 Velcro cable ties for $15

[heavy knot]

what browser should i use? i'm not gonna use chrome, and I'm not married to edge but there are a couple of bugs that are a little annoying

[terse canopy]

What platform are you on?

[elder quarry]

Firefox or firefork

[heavy knot]

windows 11

[terse canopy]

I personally use Brave. Chrome based, so you avoid all those lazy coders hating you for no reason. Blocks ads by default. Runs Chrome plugins.
No idea where I'll be at when Google enacts Minefest 3 or 4 or whatever it is designed to kill ad blocking.

[heavy knot]

i've been using edge for a while, however recently there is this annoying black bar that appears above my favorites icons and disappears and reappears when it wants. it goes away when i put the browser into fullscreen. I don't know why it does this now. also my favorites icons are all low quality now

[sinful cobalt]

edge is a good browser but it has a lot of microsoft’s bullshit

[rapid quarry]

Apple is nice except for the repair issues closed OS on their laptops and desktops

[elder quarry]

We’re not talking about companies

And they suck cause’ they only have USB-C

[heavy knot]

people say firefox is the best browser all the time. i hear it so much

[elder quarry]

Not even A or HDMI

[heavy knot]

i've just used Edge as my main browser as it's the easiest to get set up during fresh install

all i gotta do is delete cookies and everything comes back

[rapid quarry]

I know. I was extending the logic of the argument

[heavy knot]

honestly, i've been using edge because uBlock has kept working for it lmao

[elder quarry]

Firefox let their users do what they want

ublock origin work best with firefox

[mighty lake]

american football is like that

[thorny saddle]

what

[mighty lake]

anyone know which is better out of the two the wraith spire or wraith stealth cooler

I'm about to get a r5 3600 and the one that comes with the spire is $60 and the one that comes with the wraith is $75

[bleak ledge]

True

[elder quarry]

Right one look like QD-OLED

[bleak ledge]

International viewers are spending a fortune on that stuff lol

[random gyro]

i fixed it

[elder quarry]

Do not spend 15 on a better stock cooler

[heavy knot]

i bought an asus oled. cost a lot... but oh my god it's so great

[elder quarry]

Good luck

igh

[elder quarry]

Also.. fooofle is a thing

[thorny saddle]

which one

[heavy knot]

PG32UCDP :)

[sinful cobalt]

that monitor is twice of what I paid for my AW2725DF here in singapore

[random gyro]

anyone else feel like gaming isnt even fun anymore

[heavy knot]

Play helldivers 2 and fight for democracy

[crimson abyss]

Yes but I have kids

[heavy knot]

It’s about the quality and look of the monitor. Only one I’m going to get lmao

[crimson abyss]

No time unless I let them play with me

[sinful cobalt]

its not fun without the homies

[sinful cobalt]

up right down down down

[heavy knot]

No fuck that

[random gyro]

not even fun with the homies

[random gyro]

holy unc

[heavy knot]

Down up left down up right down up

[sinful cobalt]

i didnt know the red devil 9070xt had a spectral white vers

[crimson abyss]

The spirits not dead yet though. Just upgraded from am4 to am5

[sinful cobalt]

from the looks of it, it seems to also have a white PCB like yeston

[supple tide]

What gpu do yall recommend at like 320-350 usd?

[sinful cobalt]

what cpu do u have

[supple tide]

r5 7600

[sinful cobalt]

u can go try the intel arc b580

or try for a 3060 12gb

[supple tide]

any options for amd?

[sinful cobalt]

idk much abt ur pricing but I’d say 6700xt/6750xt/6800 area?

in my local market 6000 series prices are hella weird

[supple tide]

I’m trying to go for a 6750xt or maybe get lucky with a 6800

I don’t live in the us, I have a house there so I’d only get to buy a gpu in Florida later this year and gpu prices at this rate is rlly unpredictable

It’d be sort of easy to get a good gpu in Florida but I don’t have much of a choice

[random gyro]

not really, i’d go with the arc b580 or the 3060/3060ti
i didn’t recommend alchemist cards but battlemage is ready for actual daily use
the 4060 is a joke, the ti isn’t as bad
something like an rx 7600 may work though i’d go with the intel or nvidia card for rt performance

rt may not matter to you but games are going to require it soon

[supple tide]

rt is what?

[sinful cobalt]

raytracing

[supple tide]

What if I don’t use that

[sinful cobalt]

some games have RT turned on by default

[supple tide]

Cause my main intentions of my build is 1440p 60fps in any ar games and 165fps in esport titles

Which is just ark survival ascended

Which has a recommended specs of a 3080 or a 6800xt

If I can’t play 1440p well I’ll settle for high 1080p, a huge upgrade from a 5500 regardless

[sinful cobalt]

for 1440p I’d jst get the 4070 as a comfortable minimum

the 7800xt beats in raster but more and more modern games want RT by default

the 9070 is also a good contender

but ofc yw go xt if ur getting a 9000 series

[peak knot]

im a wreck

im addicted to buying test lab equipment now

i just bought a new multimeter

and i spent more on this multimeter than some people spend on their GPUs

just dropped $500 on one of these

[snow kettle]

ive got an 80s micronta (radio shack brand) multimeter, paid $5 for it a few years ago

[peak knot]

like ive got a decent klein tools

[snow kettle]

ive also got a bosch one

[peak knot]

but i want a good multimeter for my test bench area that is uber accurate and i can integrate to my oscilloscope and other test equipment as well as last me decades

i love my siglent oscilloscope

so im slowly filling my lab with their equipment

[snow kettle]

ive also got a 80s tektronix scope, an amazon power supply i think it was 100-150, in 2022. havent used it once lol

[peak knot]

they are like high end hobby low end professional grade equipment

[peak knot]

ive got like 3 old tek scopes also

[snow kettle]

their iconic, i forgot which model i got

[peak knot]

2x from the 60s and one from mids 70s

can see my tek scope i still use here

[snow kettle]

i think mine is a model 2225 or 2230

actually im 100 percent certain its a 2235 cause it has red knobs

[peak knot]

this is my oldest working tek scope

from 1964

[sinful cobalt]

this lowk looks like some basement from a movie

[rigid fjord]

valves 😆

[frigid blade]

It looks AI generated iykwim

Not saying that in a bad way

[rigid fjord]

now it's just missing a flux capacitor 😂

[mint umbra]

Never realized alot of these tech companies like MSI and Asus aren't American lol

Always thought they were American

[rigid fjord]

such an american thing to say

[sinful cobalt]

[tidal geyser]

Just like apple pie

[wet wagon]

i have a 9800x3d but no motherboard compatible with it yet Im thinking of either a Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX or a MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI is there any differences between these two?

[frigid blade]

The name

[tidal geyser]

Why do you just have a cpu without the rest of the parts?

[fresh escarp]

Im happy 🔥

[tidal geyser]

Na there are some differences biggest I say being 2 nvme slots on the msi vs 3 on gigabyte

[wet wagon]

No i have a whole computer its just that im just switching my cpu and ill also have to switch my mb and then ram so blah blah I was just too lazy to type the whole thing

[frigid blade]

Why didn’t you figure out what you needed before buying the CPU

[night urchin]

Do I need PCIe 5 for gaming or will PCIe 4 be enough

[frigid blade]

Anyway, just Google the specs for the motherboards, it should tell you everything

[cedar hollow]

Nice wallpaper

[cedar hollow]

even 3 is enough

[fresh escarp]

@cyan crescent@agile stag yoo, new keyb and the rgb box thingy came and it works, happiest tuesday 😭

[frigid blade]

I don’t think anything up to the 40 series can even do PCIe gen 5

[fresh escarp]

thank you, much love!

[night urchin]

Alr

[frigid blade]

And even in x8 mode the 4090 has minimal performance impact at gen 4

[cedar hollow]

you can run a 5090 on pcie 3 and barely see a difference

[night urchin]

I’m getting a RX 7700 XT

[tidal geyser]

X16 tho

[cedar hollow]

well yea

it’s an x16 card i think

[frigid blade]

Damn that’s crazy, gen 3 x16 has only a 1-4% performance hit on the 5090 compared to gen 5

[tidal geyser]

But you run it at x1

[cedar hollow]

huh

[tidal geyser]

5090 can go in a x1 slot

[cedar hollow]

oh well yeah i guess it could but that would be a terrible waste wouldn’t it

[tidal geyser]

Ofc

[frigid blade]

5090 running in a gen 3 slot in x1 mode

[cedar hollow]

i wanna try it now

[wet wagon]

9800x3d was in stock and fit my budget

[rigid fjord]

all am5 mobo's are compatible with that cpu

[rigid fjord]

figuring the cpu out lets you figure out mobo socket type

[frigid blade]

But usually you plan the build before buying parts is what I’m saying, lol

It’s easier to budget that way

[rigid fjord]

he's planing it out afaik

[frigid blade]

He said he already has the CPU tho

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/859423676457287730/1286737790322868365/2x-1.gif?ex=67f602b3&is=67f4b133&hm=ea398b183f5ab6c70a1d9635d76766bc7cd35a7a11f397c5c0fd9fcb55f52298&

[frigid blade]

Anyway, it really depends on your preferences, do you want more storage capacity? More PCIe slots?

[rigid fjord]

grab the msi board

[empty quartz]

Ngl, as much as not everyone has them, it would be great if standoff screws were torx

[rigid fjord]

eh, no

[empty quartz]

The amount of times i have had a phillips screw strip is unfathomable

[tidal geyser]

dat just skill issue

[elfin gulch]

i game at PCIE gen 3 x16 loool

[empty quartz]

Nuh uh

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/yuh-uh-cat-gif-27323770

[empty quartz]

Phillips is just a shit design compared to torx

[rigid fjord]

you don't need above sata 2.5 ssd's for gaming tbh

[tidal geyser]

or pcie 3.0

[azure topaz]

good ssds are good

please dont buy sata drives

[rigid fjord]

has no advantage over sata 2.5's for gaming

[tidal geyser]

well

[azure topaz]

direct storage will eventually exist

[tidal geyser]

we do also have texture streaming, not as massive but still a factor

[rigid fjord]

it already does, but the games that use it lose performance with it

[tidal geyser]

anyways m.2 tends to be cheaper for a lot of things now while also being you know just a tiny tiny bit faster

[empty quartz]

God awful take of the day #2; people should replace ram with nvme ssd’s

[violet plinth]

help i just install ssd and even after initialize disk its not showing up in this pc but its healthy in disk managment
ping me

uhm you do know what the difference between ram and nand is?

[frigid blade]

When will NVMe SSDs get fast enough to use as RAM?

[tidal geyser]

pic

[iron glen]

hi sim

[tidal geyser]

never due to how NAND works

[empty quartz]

Im not being serious 🤦‍♂️

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-shades-cool-cute-squad-goals-gif-7719556

[rigid fjord]

you do realise ram is slower than nand for ssd's right?

[iron glen]

hi rauko

[tidal geyser]

its missing a drive letter

[formal sonnet]

Looks like it does not have a drive letter. Give it a drive letter.

[rigid fjord]

sup dude

[frigid blade]

I saw someone do it on YouTube, but apparently it kills the things fast and it’s super shitty

[violet plinth]

means ?

[tidal geyser]

and you found the issue

[violet plinth]

it have d rigt

[tidal geyser]

no

[formal sonnet]

Microsoft Learn is love; is life. ❤️ Except when the Microsoft Learn article is outdated despite the article being written and maintained by Microsoft themselves. 😡
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/disk-management/change-a-drive-letter

[frigid blade]

Does it not auto give a letter?

[limpid ivy]

Depends which state? Majority of the states they’re legal with restrictions etc.

[azure topaz]

no cause nothing works ever

i just use diskpart

[rigid fjord]

it states new volume, not any drive letters on it

[iron glen]

im not american im just curious about the legality there

[violet plinth]

done man thanks @formal sonnet @tidal geyser

[frigid blade]

Diskpart can’t format large usb drives in fat32, it got me mad

[tidal geyser]

anyways i sold ma Intel i5 4590, 16GB ram, asus h81i-plus combo for well now its 36USD due to the dollar tanking but 400nok sooo me happe gonna deliver it soon

[violet plinth]

thanks

[iron glen]

found one on the floor in my school, not a knife but a comb. finders keepers

[tidal geyser]

uhm what do you think the 32 part means

[azure topaz]

well thats cause its 32 bit

[tidal geyser]

32GB max

[azure topaz]

i bet i just blew ur fucking mind

[frigid blade]

I used a third party one and it worked

[limpid ivy]

Ah gotcha. Yea at least my state they’re basically banned unless it’s the dummy kind that you practice with then that’s legal.

[tidal geyser]

its not possible

[sudden canopy]

What is the best graphics card to pair with a ryzen 5 5600x?

[tidal geyser]

5090

[sudden canopy]

With a ryzen 5 5600x?

[tidal geyser]

it physically is not possible to go above 32GB for fat32

[tidal geyser]

yeah?

[frigid blade]

“FAT32 file system itself supports volumes up to 2TB”

[rigid fjord]

rtx a6000 ada

[tidal geyser]

was this from ai?

[frigid blade]

Why does it even say that

[frigid blade]

No, the dropdown thing on Google

[tidal geyser]

that is ai

[frigid blade]

Unless that’s AI

[rigid fjord]

that's google's ai

it's a true statement though

[tidal geyser]

MBR is max 2TB

[sudden canopy]

It will bottleneck the shit out of it

[tidal geyser]

nope

[frigid blade]

32 means 32 bit in fat32 not 32GB

[rigid fjord]

if you really believe that, you're about as smart as those that believe in userbenchmark

[tidal geyser]

fat32 is max 32GB

[frigid blade]

But not AI says it’s 2TB

[iron glen]

i think anything with a blade, even if its completely flat is illegal if its a switchblade, gravity knife or balisong here

[sudden canopy]

Ok I guess. Thank you all! I appreciate the help!

[tidal geyser]

grab something with good drivers and with all its rops like a amd rx 9070 xt

[tidal geyser]

and ai never lies?

[frigid blade]

lol, the 32GB limit for fat32 was hard coded @tidal geyser

[peak knot]

ive owned a switchblade for years in TN

[frigid blade]

Microsoft removed the limit in windows 11

[rigid fjord]

nope, 2tb dude

[tidal geyser]

tf

wtf

also why

[peak knot]

theres different fat32 formats the newest one supports 2tb

[frigid blade]

Microsoft removed today an arbitrary 32GB size limit for FAT32 partitions in the latest Windows 11 Canary build, now allowing for a maximum size of 2TB. "When formatting disks from the command line using the format command, we've increased the FAT32 size limit from 32GB to 2TB," the Windows Insider team said today.

[iron glen]

i really want one but sadly they're illegal and i can't buy one outside my country either

[peak knot]

the 32gb limit is to comply with 32bit OSs

[frigid blade]

That was August 2024

[frigid blade]

Also I said not AI here

[rigid fjord]

2tb max with sectors of 512 bytes or 16tb with sectors of 4,096 bytes

[frigid blade]

16TB sheesh

Anyway, I used a third party tool on the 128GB usb drive and that’s what I used to install bios update

[tidal geyser]

the article can be written by ai

[frigid blade]

It was a few forums I read from lol

I just found that article talking about the fact that it was hard coded to limit to 32GB

Anyway, the more you know

[tidal geyser]

i wonder if it might cause some compatibility issues

[frigid blade]

Oh, how far have we gotten with USB drives in terms of capacity? I haven’t checked in a few years

[peak knot]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/477912522360356876/676476751471312927/image0.gif?ex=67f602d1&is=67f4b151&hm=0846e905dba6a5f289e2a8ccb5a210a82fc4e08a04407f4d21e1194b531adb6b&=&width=469&height=351

[tidal geyser]

up to the size of the usb drive like 8TB

[frigid blade]

Looks like 2TB

[grave obsidian]

worth to oc PBO ryzen 5 7600?

[azure topaz]

sure

[tidal geyser]

eh with a DAS a lot lot more

[peak knot]

i turned me opening and closing my EDC into a gif back in 2019 lol

[tidal geyser]

what gpu and what res

[grave obsidian]

rtx 3060 1440p

[tidal geyser]

you will notice 0% difference

[iron glen]

i like stilettos too, they're also banned here

[grave obsidian]

in 1080p?

[dapper light]

Mobile Hotspot is such a power hog istg

[rigid fjord]

yeah sure

[tidal geyser]

eh 3060 aint strong so probs nothing there too

[frigid blade]

Then don’t use it

[tidal geyser]

stock cooler?

[grave obsidian]

what about video editing performance?

[grave obsidian]

ak400

[tidal geyser]

no

[dapper light]

I wouldn't use it, if I don't need it, genius.

[frigid blade]

I’d say I’m pretty smart too, thanks

[grave obsidian]

it will reach Ryzen 5 7600x performance?

[tidal geyser]

wy not stock cooler, anyways yeah its just a few things in bios and then it fix

[tidal geyser]

like 1% better max

[rigid fjord]

quite possibly, which is why ntfs is use for above a certain capacity

[tidal geyser]

AAAAAAAAAA

[rigid fjord]

close to it

[clear canyon]

7600x is just a higher clocked 7600

[tidal geyser]

and the difference in prformance with a 4090 is minimal

[grave obsidian]

yeah and pbo 200+ mhz will same as 7600x?

[clear canyon]

around it

[frigid blade]

Overclock a pentium to modern cpu speeds

[rigid fjord]

@grave obsidian

[grave obsidian]

so worth it? i hear my mobo not good vrm

[tidal geyser]

o wow 9 fps

[clear canyon]

just go with the cheaper option

what

i already own

[clear canyon]

own what

[tidal geyser]

unless it has no VRM cooling it can even do a 9950x

[tidal geyser]

your mom :3

jk

[grave obsidian]

[tidal geyser]

he just wants to try out overclocking

[grave obsidian]

so bad vrm ok for 7600 even with PBO?

[tidal geyser]

what motherboard

[clear canyon]

prob some prebuilt board

[grave obsidian]

gigabyte b650m gaming plus wifi

[tidal geyser]

unless its the cheapest you can get it will work

[tidal geyser]

UUUUUUHHHHHMMMMM who told you this was bad

[tidal geyser]

this can pbo a 9950x

[grave obsidian]

one guy make mobi tier list on YouTube

how many M.2 slots should i get on my motherboard

[grave obsidian]

what is bios ram latency mode dos?

🤷‍♂️

[tidal geyser]

tbh only one

its hard to find a pure white board, plus the gpu and stuff will block most of the non-white parts

[tidal geyser]

yup

anyways i just sorted white on pcpartpicker

cheapest white board is https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/xZfxFT/asrock-a620m-pro-rs-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-a620m-pro-rs

[night urchin]

why tf is the link amzn

[tidal geyser]

since amazon have too many products on their site

[exotic glade]

i hate when people dont put the correct info about their product on amazon

[clear canyon]

what?

[tidal geyser]

aka link too long

[night urchin]

ah

[random gyro]

hello,

i've been out of the pc building and buying game for sometime, and im looking at a PC on facebook marketplace and im trying to see if the price is good on it.

it's a 4060, i5 8600k, AIO cooler unsure which* , 16gb ram, 500gb ssd (perhaps more storage he doesn't know apparently)

comes with a keyboard, mouse, desk, and a 144hz monitor aswell as another 60hz monitor, all for 1000$ CAD so like 700 USD. I can probably get him down a 100$ or so off the price, or just buy the pc individually. any advice would be appreciated :D

[peak knot]

imagine having a motherboard that the ryzen 7600 would be able to have PBO on.... couldnt be me

[azure topaz]

96 tras bass drops

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/MgHqqs/@night urchin

[peak knot]

damn evga not implementing all the features

[azure topaz]

not like tras does anything on am5

[sinful cobalt]

b850 ice is whiter than that

[night urchin]

ive look at the stuff isnt this basically the same with more features but less expensive ?? https://www.amazon.co.uk/B850M-AORUS-WIFI6E-ICE-Motherboard/dp/B0DQLJGTRM/ref=asc_df_B0DQLJGTRM?mcid=b7f732a1018631a3ae2354feed7c7b79&th=1&psc=1&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=718978587341&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8305253914865310957&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045031&hvtargid=pla-2391931983359&psc=1&gad_source=1

[sinful cobalt]

bleached

has rights

[peak knot]

my only wish was that evga cooked a complete bios for the x670e before they scrapped it

[azure topaz]

4/4 scls is really weird for auto imo but maybe im tweaking and thats normal

[grave obsidian]

sorry?

[azure topaz]

tras of 96

[tidal geyser]

x870 has more features but yeah that is good

[grave obsidian]

so?

[azure topaz]

then use your imaginative brain to put a bass drop of despair after that

[tidal geyser]

a board £110 is still going to give the same performance as that 200 one

[azure topaz]

tis ram

[grave obsidian]

tis?

[azure topaz]

tis

[grave obsidian]

wdym

[tidal geyser]

ti's

3090ti's

[night urchin]

alr i liked the gig one cuz it has display port

[grave obsidian]

wtf

[azure topaz]

this guy isnt in the know

[night urchin]

do i really need display or would hdmi be fine / better

[tidal geyser]

how many monitors do you plan to use

[night urchin]

only 1

[tidal geyser]

uhm you plug into the gpu for monitors

[rigid fjord]

bit like that z490 you got

[peak knot]

nah its bios is complete

[tidal geyser]

your gpu has at lest 1 dp and 1 hdmi most tend to do 3dp and 1 hdmi

[night urchin]

oh yh 😆

[peak knot]

it just never got updates for later gens

[rigid fjord]

no zen 2 or newer though

[night urchin]

ight alr

[peak knot]

like theres a way to crash the bios from every page with the x670e

[night urchin]

ive spent the longest time on my motherboard than any other component 😅

[tidal geyser]

ram should be 6000MT

[empty quartz]

Lttstore.com

[peak knot]

click on PBO? crash, click on XMP? crash, click on southbridge options? beleive it or not crash

click on OC profiles, congrats you crashed the bios without moving the cursor as it loads the bios with that option highlighted by default

[night urchin]

ive got these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CD7WZRHF?tag=pcp0f-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

[rigid fjord]

should have gone teamgroup

[night urchin]

why

[tidal geyser]

do not go corsair

[night urchin]

is it bad?

[tidal geyser]

corsair has issues

[night urchin]

ok

what company should i look for

[rigid fjord]

better ram, and corsair ddr5 vengeances has gone the way of their ddr4 line

[night urchin]

alr ill look for another one 😔

[gloomy urchin]

Hello, can anyone here recommend a decent dslr that I can use as a webcam im looking to get one to use as a webcam and for general photography (I am in Australia where everything is decently expensive) I need a camera that has clean hdmi and has no auto shutoff

[tidal geyser]

we are not really a camera server

[gloomy urchin]

true true I mean I have seen in several videos though during the tech upgrades people have bought dslrs

but tbf they're not a highlight of the video the pc usually is

[tidal geyser]

people in the LTT crew yea

non of them are talking in here tho

[gloomy urchin]

makes sense haha

[vale reef]

yummers

[tidal geyser]

xd 6600

[plush wren]

0066

[tidal geyser]

go to custom and max out the power

that will give you more performance then the undervolt

but for extra effect do 1125mv yourself

[rigid fjord]

look up canon and nikon camera's, though tbh, should keep a dslr separate from a web cam

[gloomy urchin]

why so?

[rigid fjord]

depending on the dslr you could burn out the sensor in it

[gloomy urchin]

right, thats why they have an auto power off feature when using live view on most cameras

[rigid fjord]

which you want to have disabled

[vale reef]

my pc overheats already

[gloomy urchin]

exactly, so I can use it as a webcam without it turning off after 30 minutes

[tidal geyser]

no

[vale reef]

i fucked up my build

[tidal geyser]

yes

[vale reef]

only half the fans work and i dont know why

[tidal geyser]

why not uhm ask us to help you fix it?

[rigid fjord]

which would damage the sensor, which is why they have the auto shutdown/power off for, so get a decent 1080p webcam instead

[vale reef]

ii wouldnt know how to explain it

[gloomy urchin]

oh ok sweet thanks I would probably get a brio 4k

[tidal geyser]

unless you ripped the power cable out of them they will still work if you plug them in

[serene pumice]

it barely looks better than the sims 4 which runs on a i5-3220m igpu, while inzoi requires RTX 2060 & Ryzen 5 3600

the software bloat is insane, devs should be ashamed of them self

[night urchin]

Is this better? https://www.amazon.co.uk/TEAMGROUP-T-Force-6000MHz-PC5-48000-Desktop-White/dp/B0B3HGJ4V7/ref=sr_1_3_mod_primary_new?crid=10Q154CQ11B88&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EngRxWcGqBHVgAaUTIYOhAQ6SAXplubKi1ULGaKzcChJyj7OtxxTMIeh1CmxYlkEKn034fQXqNnJtUSldFrsIuoRawwtrDGi3a4BOYOb5ZOddNvucW_0kHfzBX8UosOD8agCscf3JavbN2eIRrkM33T1q1YjqpMMNWGI0qCnkmn28xEIGxkN-v1Jsrkj4gx0YZxY6HzVhCfJiqudMSIFZ5rBL9ZXV3zhtePa6nW30e15jZBrovpsPJFhCFlcl5cvqYtHgGOF5pMhN4GCk4jG4T4Qb_g7xq-KlyiICUJjcdE.pq2qetXKrP4YmY5RE0DiNNkRM7qI6JMh9IoJg_2uMIM&dib_tag=se&keywords=white+teamgroup+RGB+ddr5+6000+mt%2Fs+cl30&qid=1744099455&s=computers&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=white+teamgroup+rgb+ddr5+6000+mt%2Fs+cl30%2Ccomputers%2C98&sr=1-3

[tidal geyser]

that has keys and a board

[night urchin]

alr

[tidal geyser]

o wow that screen is uhm

[boreal vine]

it's fucking old as shit lmao

I'm not bringing a new monitor to work

[tidal geyser]

is it even 1080p

what even is work

[boreal vine]

yeah it's 1080p

it's honestly not that bad

it's very basic though I can't lie

[tidal geyser]

what do you do for work

[serene pumice]

1680x1050 is peak

[sinful cobalt]

[boreal vine]

I work in IT

[rigid fjord]

a redesign of that wrist support/rest and it suddenly becomes nsfw

[serene pumice]

[tidal geyser]

what was it tickets

[boreal vine]

Rauko seeing booba in the cloud

[boreal vine]

Tickets, software support, sales, Office IT

[tidal geyser]

so you need to be looking at that monitor all day

dam

[boreal vine]

I have two monitors at work

[remote mesa]

100p

[rigid fjord]

seen pics of a pillow with them as a design

[vale reef]

i dont know where its plugged

and i cant check

[boreal vine]

eyoo what pillow have you been seeing

[tidal geyser]

why cant you check

[vale reef]

unsorted cables

they tangled

[rigid fjord]

old pic, but it was either aliexpress/temu when it appeared

[remote mesa]

Good 240 AIO for less than 100?

[boreal vine]

send it

[boreal vine]

why bother with 240 when you can have a 360 for that price?

[night urchin]

do i need to use ethernet with this motherboard https://neocomputers.co.uk/shop-now/15716-asrock-x870-pro-rs-amd-x870-am5-atx-4-ddr5-hdmi-2-usb4-25g-lan-rgb-3x-m2-4710483949326.html

[vale reef]

my cables dont even fit in the case

its bulging

[remote mesa]

Well, case limitations

[strange atlas]

Man it was so annoying thank god i stopped working

[remote mesa]

But yeah thats totally fair

[rigid fjord]

thermalright

[boreal vine]

240mm, if your case can fit it and you're on amd, Liquid Freezer iii

if you're on anything else, thermalright is a good budget pick

[rigid fjord]

get a b650/850 not 'x' sku board

[remote mesa]

Ill go look. I can try a 360 on the front and do some calculation to fit a 4080 in there but i doubt it. Either way im not a fan of the front radiator design

[night urchin]

sim said i should get this 😓#

[boreal vine]

Yeah I usually fit mine on the top too

[tidal geyser]

make them not that

[remote mesa]

Also i think ill get rid of these noctuas

[tidal geyser]

why AIO

[remote mesa]

I want something a bit more quiet

[night urchin]

whats a sku board lol

[tidal geyser]

nau i just found a white mobo well many of them and then you found another one i said good too

[remote mesa]

Why not?

[tidal geyser]

skue

[vale reef]

im not capeable

[remote mesa]

Are air coolers still a thing

[tidal geyser]

tend to make a bit extra noise for the pump, they do no last long, tend to have lots of issues, can leak and so on

[rigid fjord]

the letter before the chipset

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-mouth-open-nani-what-huh-gif-2284296875076340920

[night urchin]

ok

[remote mesa]

Mine doesnt make any noise. Its probably because the noctuas are noisy as hell tho.

So they cover pretty much everything else

[bleak ledge]

I hate monitors that give resolution reminders

Especially when the feature can't be disabled

[remote mesa]

I have no idea why i picked those fans

[night urchin]

so i should js get this ? 🥀 https://www.amazon.co.uk/B850M-AORUS-WIFI6E-ICE-Motherboard/dp/B0DQLJGTRM/ref=asc_df_B0DQLJGTRM?

[tidal geyser]

wait so you already have a cooler?

[tidal geyser]

why not

[night urchin]

ok but i dont need the display port

[tidal geyser]

nice

well there is no downside to having it

[viscid helm]

11!!

[night urchin]

ok i js thought i might be paying mroe for it

i was js look if i was

[boreal vine]

EXTREMMEE

[tidal geyser]

a 100$ board will give you the same performance

[boreal vine]

Flint and STEEEEEEL

[viscid helm]

Killer

[remote mesa]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

anything wrong with it?

[remote mesa]

I wanna switch to something newer and better quality

[tidal geyser]

what is wrong with the one you have now

[remote mesa]

Temps are a bit on the high side

[tidal geyser]

so 90c+?

[remote mesa]

No

[tidal geyser]

then they are low

[remote mesa]

85-90

[tidal geyser]

cpu?

[remote mesa]

R9 5950

[rigid fjord]

much better option

[tidal geyser]

power use

[remote mesa]

What do you mean?

[tidal geyser]

how much power does it use?

[remote mesa]

105W

[tidal geyser]

90c at 105w??

[remote mesa]

105 is the tdp

Im not sure what youre asking

[tidal geyser]

tdp means jack diddely shit

[tidal geyser]

how did you figure out it was at 90c

[junior valve]

touch

[remote mesa]

Hardwaremonitor

[sinful cobalt]

the source is that he made it the fuckup

[tidal geyser]

uhm in hardware monitor right next to there power use is

but use hwinfo

[night urchin]

ive heard about a HDD or something do i neeed that or only a SSD

[tidal geyser]

in sensor only

[tidal geyser]

HDDs are only for mass storage

[night urchin]

oh

[boreal vine]

diddely???????

[night urchin]

do u know any SSD i could use to store moslty games ?

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/diddy-gif-8961692530157879891

[remote mesa]

I have to go look when ill use it

[boreal vine]

Diddylicious

[tidal geyser]

any ssd

[remote mesa]

But yeah, 90C when heavy use tho

[boreal vine]

oil up lil bro

imagine reaching 90c

[night urchin]

ight

[tidal geyser]

if its using 200w that is fine

[boreal vine]

couldn't be me

[tidal geyser]

if its using 50w and doing 90c dat bad

[boreal vine]

even on a 12900k

on max 250w load

[remote mesa]

Yeah of course. I just didnt pay attention to the power that much

But what i do is typically cpu heavy so 90c are actually pretty good

[oak trail]

I’m trying to install proxmox on my Hp PowerEdge R910 with a intel cpu, but the installation wont work and just gives me this message

[tidal geyser]

m yes pcie 2.0

[tidal geyser]

how did you install proxmox to the usb stick

[junior valve]

102c here

[oak trail]

With balenaetcher, tried ventoy and rufus aswell

[sinful cobalt]

Asus 9.1ghz 14900KS: Yea, imagine.

[tidal geyser]

try raspberry pi immiger

[remote mesa]

At what temps should i be worried?

[junior valve]

over 100

[tidal geyser]

wait this is the super duper old one aint it?

[oak trail]

Sure i will give it a try

[night urchin]

Would this SSD https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lexar-Internal-High-Performance-Storage-Rendering/dp/B0DNMDSKDT?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 work with this motherboard https://www.amazon.co.uk/B850M-AORUS-WIFI6E-ICE-Motherboard/dp/B0DQLJGTRM/ref=asc_df_B0DQLJGTRM?

[boreal vine]

yes it would work

[rigid fjord]

yes but do not get that ssd

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C8WPRM9T/ better and cheaper

[oak trail]

Do you mean proxmox version? Its 8.3

[tidal geyser]

UHM

[tidal geyser]

nop the server

[junior valve]

sell it and buy a 780ti

[tidal geyser]

good luck playing some games with it

[oak trail]

Its a poweredge r910

[tidal geyser]

or buy a gpu with support

[junior valve]

1650

[tidal geyser]

the one that is pcie 2.0?

[tidal geyser]

best gpu with most support would be something like a rtx 2060 or rx 6600

[remote mesa]

So, fans as powerful as noctua industrial but less noisy?

[rigid fjord]

gen 4 ssd tbh, the seller be mislabelling it, still despite that better than an eq790

[tidal geyser]

i do hope it was free

eh even then it aint worth it

[junior valve]

under 50$ category?

[rigid fjord]

arctic p12 maxes

[tidal geyser]

rx 6400

[oak trail]

My school got it donated lol

[remote mesa]

Ill look at those

[tidal geyser]

o well

[junior valve]

it has support but its slow

[rigid fjord]

rx570

[tidal geyser]

dx 12 ultimate

[tidal geyser]

eh its ok

[junior valve]

980ti? power hog though

[rigid fjord]

doable on it

[tidal geyser]

it does not have rt cors?

[rigid fjord]

you don't need rt cores for DX

[tidal geyser]

welp try rp thingy

[night urchin]

hows it better but only 4150 MB/s ?

[junior valve]

does rx 5000 has rt?

or does it start at 6000

[tidal geyser]

rx 6000 first gen

[tidal geyser]

first of all paper specs

[rigid fjord]

tlc nand, both drives are gen 4 but despite that the eq790 uses qlc nand which has less endurance, you'll not see the speed either way when gaming let alone windows

[grave obsidian]

is 95$ good deal for 750w gold A tier psu?

[tidal geyser]

most of the time you can get dat for 80

[tidal geyser]

but yeah its fine

[grave obsidian]

i finished pc build but psu left cuz my money not enough for that 😭

i need also monitor

[tidal geyser]

as in making list or irl

[night urchin]

huh?

[night urchin]

what abt download speed especially for some big games like cod or something

[rigid fjord]

no difference

[plush wren]

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

[night urchin]

alr thx

[tidal geyser]

z

[tidal geyser]

do you have 25Gb internet?

[night urchin]

on my motherboard? yh

2.5

[tidal geyser]

and your internet speed

[night urchin]

idk i dont have the pc

do u mean the MT/s

[tidal geyser]

in short unless you have like 10-25Gb internet it will not even get close to maxing the speed

[tidal geyser]

wut

[rigid fjord]

less than a gigabit no doubt

[night urchin]

nvm

[night urchin]

how do i check 😅

[tidal geyser]

you do not have it

also computers use MB while networking is Mb

difference between a upper and lower case is 8

1MB is 8Mb

so if the SSD can do lets say 2000MB

[sinful cobalt]

try 1k sgd reaper 9070xt

[tidal geyser]

it can then do 16000Mb in network transfer speed

[sinful cobalt]

shits supposed to be like $930 sgdmsrp breh

i fucking hate distributors here

[night urchin]

Ngl i kinda have no idea what ur saying

i dont really get what ur saying lol

[tidal geyser]

yes

in short, even a HDD can do 1Gb internet

[night urchin]

but my SSD cant?

[tidal geyser]

but HDDs for gaming is horrible

[tidal geyser]

OMG, i said even

as in HDD is shit tier but it can max out networking speed while a ssd is A LOT like A LOT A LOT better

[night urchin]

oh ok so im fine with that blue ssd

[rigid fjord]

download speed != ssd speed

[night urchin]

👀

[mellow cairn]

Whoever wrote that is a fucking idiot.

[night urchin]

]

[night urchin]

its ai 😅

[mellow cairn]

"significantly faster load times" is objectively wrong

[mellow cairn]

I rest my case

[night urchin]

ok so i wont really effect anything in game and download time?

[mellow cairn]

Absolutely not

[night urchin]

ok thx 🙏

[tidal geyser]

there are no pcie 4.0 SSDs on that list

[mellow cairn]

Rong

[tidal geyser]

i see now

[harsh mango]

my 5080 was way below the average on 3DMark's Steel Nomad before I overclocked. I then applied a core clock curve and was then finally able to hit the average. is this normal i thought the average is usually without any overclock

[tidal geyser]

how many displays do you have

[harsh mango]

one

[tidal geyser]

why are the pcie 3.0 beating the 4.0

[harsh mango]

did i get a bum card or something? it's overclocking really well though

[tidal geyser]

i see and no issues i suspect?

[mellow cairn]

Even if there weren't, the point remains.

[tidal geyser]

ofc

too small to care about it

[harsh mango]

shouldnt i be at the average without overclocking>

[tidal geyser]

na

how much under were you?

[harsh mango]

i was bottom 11% or something

[tidal geyser]

that is not a score

[meager abyss]

hey, how strong are the spingen magsafe magnets?
I wanted to get one of these: https://www.spigen.com/products/magnet-ring-plate-magfit

[night urchin]

is a fish tank pc case good for air flow or bad

[sinful cobalt]

do u have all ur rops or did u eat them for breakfast

[sinful cobalt]

depends
in this case vs one with fans that blow directly, it’ll lose

[harsh mango]

yes, just checked

[night urchin]

ok...

[harsh mango]

i was thinking maybe everyone running steel nomad is already trying to overclock? so when i run it without any OC im way below the average?

i was bottom 15% or something like that without any OC

after i followed a video with a curve i was able to hit average

[peak knot]

That’s above avg

[harsh mango]

8608 is average i just hit it

but only with an overclock. without any i was wayy below it

i thought the average should be for people who dont overclock?

[peak knot]

Could be because of cpu or other factors

What cpu do you have

[harsh mango]

9800x3d

[peak knot]

Probably not that then

[harsh mango]

and 3dmark compares results with the same build. its not the cpu

[peak knot]

Well yes and no

[harsh mango]

do you think it is this then? why i was getting way below without any OC?

someone else told me that steel nomad is a new test so most people running it probably overclocking

[peak knot]

It tries to as long as the sample size is large enough if not it compares just the gpu

[harsh mango]

i see

[mellow cairn]

Yes

[gray delta]

Just got all my parts for my new pc, is there anything I should do before replacing everything (other than my SSD's) like uninstalling my cpu chipset or nvidia drivers or something or can I do that afterwards

[peak knot]

I mean you could always run TS and such also to compare

[tidal geyser]

uhm i just disabled hyper threading on my i5 1335u laptop and it feels 10X smoother then new

well 10x is a bit much but its way smoother

[hollow creek]

jesus intel naming with low power mobile chip is something else

[tidal geyser]

dis the name i5 1335u

[night urchin]

yes ?! 😭

[tidal geyser]

and yes its an nightmare

[tidal geyser]

yes

[night urchin]

ok 😭

😭

[mellow cairn]

All cases are different

There is no type of case that is good or bad

[night urchin]

ehh

prob is better case with better air flow

[tidal geyser]

i think i found out why it still feels a bit slow

[mellow cairn]

.... No, I'm telling you categorically

[night urchin]

alr

[mellow cairn]

Gamers Nexus do extensive case testing.

[tidal geyser]

time to upgrade to a pcie 5.0 x4 NVME SSD

jk, the one i have is fine when not doing lots of stuff in the background

[night urchin]

how do i know what size case to get

[mellow cairn]

Just get the biggest possible case

[true warren]

eww no

[night urchin]

why

[tidal geyser]

cat

[mellow cairn]

Lots of room for activities

[night urchin]

actually? just reinstalled it like a month ago

[tidal geyser]

time to do it again

i think ATX-Mid Tower should be fine

[hollow creek]

the frustration is real with that one

[frail delta]

Make sure the design is very human

[mellow cairn]

Get good at hating yourself and everything

why people build atx instead of matx? (real question)
sli is dead and nobody use all those extra slots

atx/eatx build typically provides huge legroom to adjust

not that matx doesnt provide those

[mellow cairn]

Wrong

[hollow creek]

not as flexible is one thing

[gray delta]

stupid question but can I "reinstall" windows on the same drive a windows version already exists on? or how else would I go about doing it

assuming I just put windows installer on a usb and boot it

[hollow creek]

eh this would depend entirely upon how they design the case. lian li a3 matx for example has great cooling potential due to its fan mounting support and space

[opal bridge]

I wanna upgrade to 32gb ddr4, but should i sell my 2x8 and buy 2x16 or just buy 2 more sticks of 8 and put it in there

[tidal geyser]

and you remove the old partition with the windows install thingy and boom new windows

[gray delta]

does it show up as like "update" or "reinstall" or something instead of just "install"?

[tidal geyser]

if you get the same sticks you can just slap em in there but what cpu are you using

[opal bridge]

3600

[hollow creek]

uh i might advice copying every shit you need before reinstalling
*assuming that you want to reinstall on the old boot drive from your old pc

[tidal geyser]

tbh i would look into a cpu upgrade

but if you need more ram the best move might be grabbing 2x16GB

[opal bridge]

Ill buy a 5600 eventually anyways

[tidal geyser]

it would also make it a bit easier to get even more ram once its needed if its needed

i have like 10 kits of 2x4

[hollow creek]

there is by going into advanced mode

[gray delta]

what if it's not on its own partition

[hollow creek]

you need internet though

[tidal geyser]

it is

well you just remove every partition on the ssd

[gray delta]

isn't that just formating it

[mellow cairn]

Step 1: delete all your data.
Step 2: return to monke

[gray delta]

how do I go about deleting that specific partition with my old windows on it after I've updated or reinstalled it or whatever, isn't it just gonna purge everything

[tidal geyser]

or just use secure erase

welp ama do other things

[hollow creek]

format = still have drive letter
delete partition = shit turns into a dummy drive until windows creates one/you do

[opal bridge]

Guess ill save up for a cpu, i had some money left over but not enough for a cpu so i thought id get more ram

[gray delta]

"it'll delete the windows partition" sounds like it'll do it automatically

I'm just scared of fucking something up somehow

so I do this AFTER installing a new windows right?

it's not that I'm scared of fucking it up beyond repair, I'm just clearly not knowledgeable enough about it so I asked specifically so it doesn't wipe my entire drive or something

I'll just assume it puts my old windows install in a folder or someshit

I was looking at this

the entire drive or the windows installation which doesn't matter at all

...?

I don't want my old windows install, I'm asking you if I'll get rid of all the other data on the drive

by reinstalling windows on the same drive

I mean I still didn't replace any part but this is just from cmd

windows is on disk 0

done

I just told you I just opened my cmd I didn't press shift f10

[boreal vine]

aren't you the fuckwit that borked their windows install and flogging a "broken" 12400f and 3060?

??? the installer does that for you

[gray delta]

that's exactly what I thought too

[boreal vine]

you don't need to open CMD, it literally shows you the partition

[gray delta]

are you just looking at the pretty pictures

[boreal vine]

it literally asks you

????

because this is definitely harder than CMD right

when u know, it shows you all partition

as well as what drive their in rather than guessing on chkdsk

and that's why you borked your own PC lmoa

[rigid fjord]

nope

[boreal vine]

stop giving shitty advice to people

you literally broke your own computer fucking dumbass

[rigid fjord]

he is that person

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[boreal vine]

you might as well send the fucker to narnia with the bullshit information you're giving lmao

[rigid fjord]

because it isn't helping

[gray delta]

I told you like 5 times I am on windows right now using all my old components and you're giving me instructions as if I'm sitting here with with windows ready on a USB

[rigid fjord]

while in the installer, you don't even need to open up command prompt for this, do what eva's been saying

[gray delta]

I asked if there's anything I should do pre emptively

like if reinstalling windows would just clean the entire drive or something

if I don't have it on some specific partition already

[boreal vine]

reinstalling windows should clean your drive

when you get to this page:

hit delete on everything drive 0 until you're left with one and format it

windows will do the rest for you

[rigid fjord]

nothing, you just go through the installer and when it comes to setting the partition up, you delete them all then click next

[gray delta]

even the recovery one?

[rigid fjord]

don't click on format, just select the drive then click next

nope, we've built enough systems to know how to do this blindfolded

[boreal vine]

sometimes it will have leftover partitions

[gray delta]

does a windows installer usb I made like 4 months ago work or do I need like an updated one

[boreal vine]

it would work, might just update for a bit when you get everything installed

[rigid fjord]

that only happens if people don't delete all of the partitions beforehand

[boreal vine]

which they're not doing in this scenario

[rigid fjord]

nope, it'll work

[boreal vine]

they still have recovery partision and efi info

[rigid fjord]

definitely a wipe all partitions moment

[boreal vine]

exactly what I'm saying

[gray delta]

so save anything I want to keep on another drive then

non windows related

[boreal vine]

that's right 🙂

save any files and take note of the disk size

[rigid fjord]

don't need to do the format part though, windows likes to throw a hissy fit with that one on a drive that's got a partition

[gray delta]

so, swap my components, boot from windows installer USB, Delete all drive 0 partitions until it just says drive 0 (partition 1?), install windows there, ????, profit

[boreal vine]

tbf that format thing is more for completeness than anything

[gray delta]

or did I miss the formating part

[boreal vine]

personally to make it easier for you, I'd remove all the drives and leave the drive you want to install windows on

that way you won't get confused

[true stirrup]

Unity moment

[gray delta]

good tip thank you

[boreal vine]

then plug them back in once done / installed

[gray delta]

I might report back from phone if I got any more questions on my adventure

[boreal vine]

NP, good luck, and take this as an example that you should always scrutinize whatever randos on discord give to you as info

[gray delta]

something about cleaning a drive that I'm currently using sounded insane

[boreal vine]

if you have followed their instructions you would've wasted your time and possibly bork stuff

I just caused a ram leak on my pc which blue screened me... then my pc failed to post... and it reset my bios... I lost my 6800MT/s cl38 OC profile again 😭

Hello malorie

[trim idol]

You know... when I started watching the short circuit video on the new LG GX9 monitor, I was kinda meh about it, but damn...

45" OLED doing 5k even at 144Hz is pretty sweet. And if you want 330Hhz, it can be switched to a 1440p mode for that....

[lethal bay]

You’re right. 5 quid to Al Qaeda stat.

[boreal vine]

yeah I've seen that it's pretty neat

it's not even some scaling thing either

it's native

[true stirrup]

You have absolutely no gameplay

[trim idol]

yeah, it's a pretty sweet peice of kit

[boreal vine]

funny thing is, after he got called out for giving out bad shitty advice (after he broke his pc and tried flogging it here for 500) he said he'll work on his "game"

[true stirrup]

Bruh

[trim idol]

That's been my biggest issue with my current 45" panel--that its 1440p with a rather meh dot pitch

[boreal vine]

45 incher wowza

that's hella hyooog

[lethal bay]

5K seems cool

[trim idol]

Size does matter 😄

[lethal bay]

I daily 42”

[boreal vine]

is it coming with you to canada?

[trim idol]

fuck yes

[boreal vine]

🗣️

[trim idol]

It's true. I hate gingers

[boreal vine]

I did not say your game was shit, your advice is shit, the UK education system has failed you

reading comprehension at 0% 🥀

[trim idol]

Is this our next vauxcorsa?

I'll block before I find out

[lethal bay]

probably

gumball # 7 if you will

[trim idol]

lol

[trim idol]

I'm even bringing my 1 ton dual Vega 64 system to canada. I put it up for sale, but (predictably) no one really wants to pay what a system like that is worth.

[boreal vine]

belongs in the museum tbh hahaha

also check it malorie anotha one

[trim idol]

that's kinda why I built it 😄

[trim idol]

another keeb? I thought you were taking anti-keeb drugs to help with the addiction 😄

[boreal vine]

what would that be

all of the top symbols are macros

[trim idol]

umm... a gameboy advance a day?

Oh that's hella cool

[boreal vine]

I'm done buying boards now tbf

[mellow cairn]

I did though

[dapper light]

Look at these shaders

[trim idol]

Bob always comes through when needed 🙂

In other news, I found out yesterday that the movers are bringing a 34foot truck, not a 53foot truck and I'm kinda worried

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

[mellow cairn]

That's a reduction of 19feet

[trim idol]

damn... that man's chin has its own chin

[trim idol]

indeed it is... I don't know that all our stuff will fit in a 34foot truck

I have a 10 foot uhaul as well, and I'm thinking of upgrading that to a 15
