My dad names his servers after The Lego Movie characters, I name mine after Supernatural

My server is named Winchester

[south arrow]

Cass server

[south arrow]

Some have 2 some have 3, i prefer the 8 pin way but it does look so much cleaner using less cables

[remote mesa]

i should get this one, surely helps with the cable management compared to the mess i have in there now

i have three 6+2 laying around not connected to anything

[wheat torrent]

Thats what Linus said

[empty quartz]

Im reading a 41 year old book to learn the basics of electrical engineering

[elder quarry]

old but gold?

7200C30 sweet spot heheyeaboi

[elder quarry]

yeee

[frigid blade]

I thought you were running at 8000

[azure topaz]

thats benching i said rember

[frigid blade]

Oh oh oh, still benching?

[azure topaz]

no 7200 c30 is my daily

[elder quarry]

incendiary?

[frigid blade]

ah

[fickle ivy]

Yeah, 15

[frigid blade]

I remember there were a lot of ways to make a little cash at that age

[clear canyon]

try doin local work like mowing lawns or what ever to get like 30 bucks then u can buy an ssd

[clear canyon]

yeah, I was 15 when I saved 1200 for a pc

[plush wren]

took you how long

[clear canyon]

1 year

[frigid blade]

Yah, stuff like that. Sometimes I would help older folks carry groceries to their car, I wouldn’t ask for a tip. But if it was small I would take it

[frigid blade]

I’m reminding myself of some funny memories now

I had a little red wagon when I was 13, we’d put rakes and stuff in there and ask if anyone needed their lawn raked

There was maybe 3 or 4 of us, we’d get it done in an hour and split $20

[abstract wigeon]

is rolling back video drivers fairly straightforward? been crashing a lot recently on my 3070

[clear canyon]

yeah, install ddu then install new drivers

[frigid blade]

What does ddu stand for?

Dirty Driver Uninstaller

[random gyro]

display driver uninstaller

[frigid blade]

Oh

2/3, I passed, barely

I lost that Facebook market place post from last night

[distant frigate]

https://www.reddit.com/r/FiberOptics/s/NWfnpIgbh7

lol that’s wild

[frigid blade]

Whole setup for $500. 2 monitors, mic, keyboard, etc. 3070Ti + 12600k

[distant frigate]

This is my outdoor box. Much cleaner. Although the ONT is inside instead of outside tbf.

[wheat torrent]

Looooop

[distant frigate]

Yep. It’s factory-terminated fiber. There’s benefits to it although a downside is not precise cable length. There’s a chance it could be too long or too short

[gleaming rose]

believe it or not it hasnt changed much

[gilded sparrow]

before and affter

[distant frigate]

For a field termination they have to bring out this special machine

One of the reasons why installs involving field terminations are more expensive

[frigid blade]

What changed?

I’m sorry but it looks the same just different angles

Oh the big ass cooler is gone

I’m blind

I thought you got rid of the dust or something so I wasn’t looking at the parts too hard 😭

Looks good

[empty quartz]

Goofy ram

[gilded sparrow]

does the job

[frigid blade]

What’s wrong with the ram

Cuz no plastic around it?

[empty quartz]

No heatspreader

[frigid blade]

2 of my sticks are missing the heat spreader

[empty quartz]

Ram has heatsinks for a reason

[frigid blade]

Oops

[gilded sparrow]

its at 4800 it doesn't get hot enough

[wheat torrent]

Why

[frigid blade]

Do they really help tho, I don’t see a difference

In some cases removing them helps

[peak knot]

yooo i just learned the NVS 420 comes in PCIE x1 versions also

[empty quartz]

For higher speeds they do

[empty quartz]

Gimme :3

[peak knot]

its a baby dual GPU thats also pcie x1

[clear canyon]

ass^2

[latent gull]

Assss

[peak knot]

i bought it

found on ebay for $16 shipped

[clear canyon]

(money + wasted) / 0

[latent gull]

It is jarring to just see giant screws holding the cooler on

[empty quartz]

@peak knot do i try for 25ah or just stick with 17ah (51 batteries for 17ah or 75 batteries to have 25ah of capacity)

[peak knot]

those are normal cooler screws that GPU is just that small

[peak knot]

on what

[empty quartz]

Custom battery pack

[charred sundial]

hi good eve

holy shit its past midnight alr

[empty quartz]

Ive been collecting “disposable” vapes ive found on the ground for quite awhile now

[gilded sparrow]

just dobt look at the back lol cable management needs to be redone THANK GOD I DIDN'T USE ZIP TIES and used twist ties so i can redo it

[peak knot]

how big are we talking

[clear canyon]

100k mwh

[latent gull]

Yeah but compared to screws normally in pc components nowadays. And to even have screws just open and exposed nowadays

[charred sundial]

I'm back to complain about Corsair ram

[empty quartz]

So far, i have 53 batteries, each cell is 3.7v (4.2 at full charge) 1ah, if i go for a 3s17p; ill have 214.2 Wh of capacity
If i go 3s25p; ill have 315wh of capacity

[empty quartz]

Whats wrong with corsair ram?

[charred sundial]

I was about to explain! Nothing wrong with the ram itself, just the RGB.
I've set all my RGB to a certain colour with lovely signalRGB, BUT, I have to set my corsair ram to forced, and find the nearest colour that looks the same as my fans, but if I wanna finetune my ram so it automatically does that, I need SignalRGB pro... :(

TL;DR, corsair's RGB is too accurate?

[empty quartz]

Just use corsair icue

[frigid blade]

Really, the issue is the RGB

[charred sundial]

No, thats not the issue, its recieving it, and outputting it, but, corsair's colours are too accurate, and far more accurate than my fans

[frigid blade]

They gotta stop making RGB ram

[charred sundial]

so my fans are the issue?

[empty quartz]

Again, use icue for the mem

[frigid blade]

They gotta stop making everything RGB in general

[charred sundial]

WHY

[empty quartz]

You literally get colour finetuning for free

For your ram

[south arrow]

[charred sundial]

but it doesnt sync up with my signalRGB, which i prefer, because i dont wanna have 3 different softwares

[frigid blade]

Guys there’s an easy fix here that gets rid of all the problems

[charred sundial]

what is it daniel

[empty quartz]

Getting rid of rgb

[frigid blade]

remove the RGB :D

[charred sundial]

great minds think alike

[empty quartz]

@peak knot speaking of rgb

Does signalrgb support the corsair commander pro?

[frigid blade]

Anyway, I don’t know why but I never liked the whole aesthetic thing, probably because it can add up

I like to build things for cheap but not bad quality

[empty quartz]

I need to replace my shitty corsair fans on my top rad

[charred sundial]

yep

[frigid blade]

My new build will be hidden in the basement so i can mismatch everything

[empty quartz]

I dont care about how my build looks personally

[frigid blade]

Yah, I dont really get it, unless you keep your PC out in the open then maybe i would care

[empty quartz]

However, ill never get noctua fans

[frigid blade]

but all my computers are below sitting eye level

[empty quartz]

My computer is unable to fit on my desk

Actually

[frigid blade]

maybe i could but i have a glass desk, i dont like putting heavy things on it

[empty quartz]

I dont think it would fit on a majority of desks

[frigid blade]

the computer broke the little glass spot its supposed to sit on top of under it already

[empty quartz]

@frigid blade what case you got?

[frigid blade]

ah, shit idek

[charred sundial]

you made me install iCue and it didnt even solve it

[frigid blade]

i didnt build this one got it on ebay

[charred sundial]

im goin back to signalRGB

[frigid blade]

i know it has an O in it

[empty quartz]

Show

[frigid blade]

OMEN

[empty quartz]

[frigid blade]

Its omen i remember from the listing

its one of these

[empty quartz]

[frigid blade]

they all look the same anyway

[empty quartz]

Smol

Tiny pc

[frigid blade]

no its pretty huge

[empty quartz]

No, its not

Yes, that is atx

[charred sundial]

you made me install icue and now my ram's RGB is tweaking

[empty quartz]

2 480mm radiators

[empty quartz]

I didnt make you do anything

[charred sundial]

shit

[empty quartz]

I suggested you install icue

[charred sundial]

bad suggestion

[random gyro]

2TB phones when 😭

[tranquil thicket]

What can I do with an extra phone?

[gilded sparrow]

sup chat need advice so my case has side fan mounts but aernt filtered so should i mount a case fan there either as intake or exhaust

[peak knot]

call yourself

[random gyro]

Depends on the phone

[hexed tapir]

Just delete things to free up storage

[hexed tapir]

Feed gpu air

[random gyro]

yikes

[hollow creek]

intake is fine

can always clean dust later

*2 years later

[night urchin]

What are these HDD and SSD slots. do i need them or do i need to look for another case

[rain granite]

@hollow creek

so just do it from here?

[gilded sparrow]

also for background context i put a aio on a r5 7600

and im pround of it

[hollow creek]

yeah pretty much

[rain granite]

Wait do I have to wipe everything though

[hollow creek]

just update and in you go

[rain granite]

Like remove everything and fresh start

[hollow creek]

not really, unless you experience performance issue

for now you can just update

[rain granite]

ok thx

[vast hornet]

I need help with my display not showing anything unless at 23.98 hz

[empty quartz]

:3

[plush wren]

[calm idol]

try with another cable, try with another output device, try a different port on the monitor. see if you can narrow it down to smth other than the monitor

[vast hornet]

I have plugged it in my living room tv and works fine I’ve tried different cables and I have tried display port and even changing the relation to 4:3 60 hz which did work

Idk if it’s an amd or my rx570

Also the pc had a different gpu that did work with 60 hz on the tv I’m trying to use

[jaunty cairn]

I have 55,000 Years to add coverage

[calm idol]

try a clean gpu driver reinstall with ddu

[vast hornet]

I have also done that

[gilded sparrow]

do i connect my aio punp to cpu opt ? Or the thing that says system fan 3_pump

[calm idol]

checked if the gpu or whatever is being used atm can actually run that res+hz with the hdmi/dp spec its using?

[vast hornet]

It can definitely do it , I can even run it at 120 hz

[calm idol]

on a different tv or wdym?

[vast hornet]

Yeah on my living room it could do 75 hz

So I don’t think it’s the gpu fault

[calm idol]

if you double checked they use the same resolution and nothing changed other than the tv im out of guesses

[vast hornet]

The one I’m trying is 1080p and the living room is 4k but it worked with 1440p and 1080p

[short shoal]

Is this supposed to be missing one

[elder quarry]

well there's only one missing

[short shoal]

Yeah?

[elder quarry]

oh, yeah misunderstood your question

totally normal

[gilded sparrow]

i had the exact same question that is actually perfectly fine

[short shoal]

Okay i thought it was normal but i have been having power issues and im a bit paranoid

[gilded sparrow]

its supposed to be like that

dw

[steel umbra]

yes, nc pin even if it would be there does nothing

[gilded sparrow]

@short shoal are u using a corsair cx?

[short shoal]

No

I have a deepcool pq850m

[gilded sparrow]

@elder quarry remember how i said i got a aio for my r5 7600

[azure topaz]

yep thats a 40$ aio if ive ever seen it

[gilded sparrow]

$51

[elder quarry]

[plush wren]

termal rayt

[azure topaz]

same brand as mine but mines cooler lookin

[gilded sparrow]

thermalright aqua elite 360 mm v4

[plush wren]

why is it cooler lookin

[gilded sparrow]

im future proofing smaller upgrades before i make my big jump

next is ram and psu

[azure topaz]

cuz

[plush wren]

pc from the devil

[azure topaz]

yes

[plush wren]

[gilded sparrow]

i got mine with a gift card

FREE

[azure topaz]

mine was 47$

cuz thermalright had just started making these aios

[gilded sparrow]

yeab thermal right is budget but makes actually stupidly good products for what they charge

[last onyx]

Im looking on picking up a HP z8 g4 off facebook market. its got one xeon in it and im wondering if i pick up a second one that matches it if it'll just work or is there a pairing system for these types of cpu's?

[gilded sparrow]

xeon?

[gilded sparrow]

what do u plan do with it

[steel umbra]

good psu but deepcool imploded in the us

[last onyx]

its gonna be set up with true nas scale

[steel umbra]

they have tough competition now

[warped plover]

Is this a reliable PSU? Fully modular

[steel umbra]

decent yes

[warped plover]

Alright, thanks

Finding a white 750W PSU is hard to do apparently, if anyone has any recommendations please let me know (Preferably below $95USD)

[steel umbra]

how’s core reactor II white?

probably over $95 though, like $110

the vetroo is solid tho

i would get that

[warped plover]

If its over that then Id might as well go with the initial black psu I was going to buy, I also want to minimize shipping and tax costs so Im trying to find stores in the Atlanta area for pick up and stuff

[steel umbra]

which psu

[warped plover]

Tax and shipping isnt an issue, as long as it doesnt go over $95 with the total

[warped plover]

The msi mag-a750GL

[empty quartz]

@steel umbra this is my boy, he is like you in a way

He is stinky

:3

[steel umbra]

i believe the vetroo is better than that especially at lower ac voltages

[warped plover]

Even better fr

[short shoal]

I know so I cannot warranty it

[gilded sparrow]

yeah still really good

[hexed tapir]

They both eat shit?

[ripe spire]

holy fucking shit this is expensive

but u save 2p, absolute bargain

[steel umbra]

nukes you

[latent gull]

i tried to. didnt work

[hollow creek]

bro wont allow me to call out all them ai stuff at 8k gaming man
this is discrimination

[ripe spire]

This beast is all AMD baby

what was the setup?

[steel umbra]

i don’t think linus says enough AI word in his video for Jensen to even consider it

Is the price gonna drop a bit soon tho?

[latent pasture]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/695582978092564530/1225737690201456671/laughing-cat-ezgif.com-resize.gif

are you not aware of the stuff happening in the world

[candid bolt]

😭

Yea

So i take that as a no

Lol it was a bad time to build a pc and it jus got worse

[latent pasture]

shoulda time traveled back to 2022 when 2tb nvme ssd was $50
and build the pc in 2023/2024 when shit like 7900xt was $600

[steel umbra]

i’m team neutral

• i hate both and intel as well

[latent pasture]

team blue reed etc is stupid
everyone should always go team price:performance

Brand new cyber power 1350VA APC I picked up for 40$ off marketplace. (810W)

[agile stag]

i got a new tv today i feel like i should do something to celebrate but i dunno yet but ill see

[frigid blade]

Use it

[clear canyon]

celebrate over a tv?

[agile stag]

fair i watched a couple shows on it but i put it to rest for now since i dont know what else to do

[agile stag]

mmhm :3

[clear canyon]

why?

[agile stag]

its a really fancy one but also its fun to be happy :3

but uh let me check the msrp actually that feels like a nice number to have

[clear canyon]

what is it?

[agile stag]

its a 55 inch panasonic viera st60 :3

also grr only 1500 new ill get a pricier one eventually but not anytime soon

[clear canyon]

plasma tv's are not fancy

[agile stag]

but its what is generally accepted as like the best plasma tv :3

[clear canyon]

thats very old tech

[agile stag]

beats an lcd imo

and it just does good anyways :3

the color uh even-ness is insane but it was on my old plasma anyways

but the colors just look nicer and the blacks are blacker and its just nice-

bad photos i took

its good though im super happy with it and uh its not the best tv ever made but it might be one of the better tvs that ive seen in person for sure

[elder quarry]

e is happy

[agile stag]

it beats any tv ive owned before it :3

[elder quarry]

this was fun to do

[clear canyon]

what is this for?

[elder quarry]

raising volume on linux with notification

[clear canyon]

thats cool

[agile stag]

in windows i just use the volume adjustement settings,,,

most of the time

[elder quarry]

$volume=${home}/.config/hypr/scripts/general/volume.sh
# laptop multimedia keys for volume and lcd brightness
bindel = ,xf86audioraisevolume, exec, $volume raise 5
bindel = ,xf86audiolowervolume, exec, $volume lower 5
bindel = ,xf86audiomute, exec, $volume toggle
bindel = ,xf86audiomicmute, exec, $volume toggle null mic
bindel = $mainmod, xf86audiomute, exec, $volume toggle mic
bindel = $mainmod, xf86audioraisevolume, exec, $volume raise 5 mic
bindel = $mainmod, xf86audiolowervolume, exec, $volume lower 5 mic
bindel = ,xf86monbrightnessup, exec, brightnessctl s 10%+
bindel = ,xf86monbrightnessdown, exec, brightnessctl s 10%-

Here's a part of the dotfile

hasn't done the brightness but it's really easy

[plush wren]

yeah this looks like brainrot

[elder quarry]

this is a bit "hardcore", even though it's easy to do. Most window managers is easier to work with, but that results in less customization.

[elder quarry]

what do you mean

[frigid blade]

Have you seen PyGyat?

https://www.pygyat.org

[elder quarry]

no?

[frigid blade]

Oh

[clear canyon]

?

[plush wren]

weird syntax

[elder quarry]

ph no

[agile stag]

fair i get that

[frigid blade]

Wrong reply was meant for Polarr

[elder quarry]

how why?

[clear canyon]

its code

[agile stag]

what gain is there though uh ive never really customized an os but i do a lotta tech stuff

[plush wren]

yes and i said it has a weird syntax

[elder quarry]

so cursed

[elder quarry]

it's bash

[plush wren]

yes

i saw at the start

[agile stag]

pygyat looks crazy

[plush wren]

[agile stag]

fuckk i hate cs

[elder quarry]

bash scripting is probably better

[elder quarry]

c#*

[agile stag]

like uh computer science

[clear canyon]

why?

[steel umbra]

c sharp!

[cinder shell]

hey

[elder quarry]

oh, thought you were talking about CSharp

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/white-role-roleism-roleist-stfu-white-role-gif-6496355913947222323

[plush wren]

both are correct?

[agile stag]

i just dont like having to understand it and synthesize walls of code from nothing

[steel umbra]

yes

[elder quarry]

nuh

[agile stag]

i prefer hardware stuff so much more

[plush wren]

well it uses .cs for its source files so

[elder quarry]

c# is more correct whatsoever

[agile stag]

and i touched on circuitry stuff too and it was so fire compared to typing

in my opinion*

[plush wren]

you just read it

[agile stag]

but thats what sold me and uh cs just isnt the same

[plush wren]

same with circuits

[steel umbra]

c-sharp and .cs

[elder quarry]

you don't hate the file extension, you dislike the language

[steel umbra]

both csharp and c# are korrect

[elder quarry]

css

[agile stag]

yeah but uh my evil major also has a lotta cs classes

[plush wren]

i thought you meant that

[agile stag]

so im forced to have to learn it a bit

and ill try

but i an NOT getting a job in that field

[plush wren]

yeah that sucks

[steel umbra]

i like c sharp, it’s the only language that’s not ??? to me

[agile stag]

it is what it is im fine with it but uh grr cs

[agile stag]

interesting thats cool though

[plush wren]

[elder quarry]

but you don't particularly like the .cs file extension

[plush wren]

true it is easy to understand

[agile stag]

also fuck i just remembered i need to get the panasonic 3d glasses for my tv

[plush wren]

koda was talking about comp science

[elder quarry]

switching to linux will make it easier

[agile stag]

theres just a 3d button on the remote and it seems enticing

[plush wren]

how so

[elder quarry]

wallpapuh

[steel umbra]

hmmmmmmmm

[elder quarry]

fuuckk

[agile stag]

mm i guess

[agile stag]

one time i did spend a day fucking with terminal stuff on macos to get past some icloud locks on iphones

[plush wren]

[agile stag]

that was evil though and i didnt know any of the stuff i was doing but man did i become familiar with touching terminal

[elder quarry]

[plush wren]

i spent like 2 hours trying to login to my fucking azure vps

nothing was working 💔

[elder quarry]

I really should sleep

[plush wren]

It'll be fine

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/669262978411135008/1303883278943518782/HiFive.gif

[agile stag]

you could but i wouldnt sleep at 3 especially on a friday

[elder quarry]

yeah, what day is it tomorrow

[plush wren]

sunday

[agile stag]

hmm im reasonably gonna eep at like 4-5am i bet

[plush wren]

whynt

[agile stag]

im evil

[plush wren]

waking up early is goated

[agile stag]

but it depends on a lot

[warped plover]

I challenged myself a $1000 budget gaming pc to run most games 1080p at mid-high settings. How did I do? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dZD6PJ (the pc case is because I had to save every penny) tax and shipping is also incorporated into the $1000 budget

[elder quarry]

I'm gonna fix that brightness thing while I'm at it

[plush wren]

i fucked up my sleep schedule this week tho

[agile stag]

some nights ill keel over at like 230

[plush wren]

i went to sleep yesterday at 3 and woke up at 6

[warped plover]

Every component was found on either newgg or microcenter

[plush wren]

then school

[agile stag]

hmm yeah then youre due for uh falling asleep around now id say

[plush wren]

to be fair i slept during the day tho

[agile stag]

yesterday i took my meds and got like 5 hours and i predicted that once i meds wore off id crash and sure enough i think i was out by like 130 that night

[plush wren]

thats what ive been doing the whole week, go to sleep at 2, wake up at 6 come home from school and sleep for like at least an hour

[agile stag]

its something

you gotta thug it out one night though it might be worth it

[agile stag]

thats fair

[elder quarry]

same, streak of 4 hours of sleep

[steel umbra]

for me it is easier atleast, pretty sure there are easier languages for beginners but c sharp does fit me, altough i still can’t really program well or like at all that’s of use -_-

[agile stag]

my college schedule uh ill have heavy classes on one day and fake classes on the next

[elder quarry]

for 5 days

I treat myself with a energy drink today

[plush wren]

prob cus u dont know much about fuck idk what theyre called

[agile stag]

so its like pretty much a day of rest after every class and its fire

[plush wren]

[latent gull]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-12756433236776117962

[plush wren]

[steel umbra]

yeah le {} part was decently easy and such but i’m just stopid at programming and ye i lack memory for all the funcionz

[agile stag]

or not every class but every day of heavy classes

[elder quarry]

modules with #include?

[agile stag]

and those days i hustle uh wake up like 730-830 ish and have caffeine and meds and breakfast as soon as i wake up then i run out and go be active for the next few hours

[plush wren]

idk i havent used csharp in like 5 months and when i did i was vibe coding

aka just pasting from gpt to do something

luau syntax is weird or im just not used to game dev

[warped plover]

Can I get yall opinions?

[steel umbra]

didn’t work for me at all 😂 had to do everything through tutorials chatgonebetlee sucks at c 🪒

[plush wren]

well to be able to paste you need to know something even if its just the basics

[steel umbra]

roblos

ks

[plush wren]

yes

[steel umbra]

i also tried gdscript, you know… even me who knows basicly nothing about gdscript thought chatgpt knows absolutely nothing about how the language works because it couldn’t program literally anything that worked, it failed even at making a sphere with collision mesh

[elder quarry]

bruh I had a typo where the command was brightessctl and not brightnessctl

wondered what was wrong

[plush wren]

tbh no idea what the fuck gdscript is

oh lovely indenting

[steel umbra]

yu know godot?

[plush wren]

ive heard of it

game engine or something

oh u can use gdscript with it

[crystal pond]

Didn't people swap to it during the unity fiasco

[elder quarry]

#!/bin/bash

function get_brightness() {
  brightness=($(brightnessctl get) * 100 / $(brightnessctl max))
}

case $1 in
"raise")
  brightnessctl set +$2% >/dev/null
  get_brightness
  echo "$brightness"
  ;;
"lower")
  brightnessctl set $2%- >/dev/null
  get_brightness
  echo "$brightness"
  ;;
*)
  echo -e "Usage:\n $0 {get|up|down}"
  exit 1
  ;;
esac

[steel umbra]

it’s an alternative ye

[elder quarry]

fucking brightess

[elder quarry]

oh lol I forgot the notifications

[plush wren]

[steel umbra]

haev goob eeepin time

[elder quarry]

[elder quarry]

oops forgot to post this but uh fixed ig (nobody cares):

Hi! My friend is looking around for her first gaming PC and we found a used one with a 5800X and a 3080 for $900 USD which looked solid. My question is what should we be looking out for before buying/what to ask the seller? Right now I just told her to ask if any parts still have warranty and if we can test it before buying

[outer marlin]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/23GWjn rate this used pc build im thinking 550 to 650 for it

[elder quarry]

trash

do not buy

[outer marlin]

forgot budget

[elder quarry]

ewaste

[outer marlin]

bro is CALLING A R5 1600 and a 980 ewaste

[outer marlin]

sybau

[elder quarry]

well I'd not use it in a normal system

[outer marlin]

its i very budget pc i would be selling

[elder quarry]

also, instead buy some old, prebuilt pc and slap in a gpu in it

in my country people sell compuetrs better than this for 200 about bucks

[outer marlin]

thats your country

[south arrow]

Country of eeee

[elder quarry]

(Not mine)

[south arrow]

Decent lil car though

EEE lmao just seen it

[elder quarry]

yeah it's a bit blurry

Hi all. GPU question. Was looking at 9070xt models and was looking at 3 possible models the SAPPHIRE PULSE, ASUS PRIME, ASUS TUF OC. Now in tbat order the priceces differ around 25euro each. 800,825 and 850. Which one should i go for? Is OC rly that good or can i achieve the same performance with slight overcloking in the driver app(afterburner i think people mention, im a nvidia user till now)

[mellow cairn]

There is basically no difference

[upbeat bison]

Prob a longshot but any Aibo fans here? Cool video about them for anyone interested https://youtu.be/uHVf0X4vL38?si=0i2CRLbvg_GU9x6P

[lone ibex]

Oh my fucking god
My screen randomly went black and windows decided to install an older gpu driver than the one I was using and now I need to reinstall my fucking gpu driver AGAIN so all my playtime and saved settings from AMD Adrenalin will be gone when I reinstall
Stupid fucking automatic windows updates ruining everything
How can I stop it from automatically updating my drivers AND save my AMD Adrenalin settings and playtime and all that? DDU erases my settings and playtime every time I use it and the option to check “stop automatic windows updates” doesn’t work

[elder quarry]

Switch to Linux

[lone ibex]

Easy anti cheat

[elder quarry]

EAC has Linux support

[lone ibex]

It does?

[elder quarry]

Yup

[lone ibex]

Then what was the anticheat having problems with Linux

I could have sworn it was EAC

[elder quarry]

BattlEye

[lone ibex]

Oh

Besides switching to Linux is there something I can do to fix it in windows

[elder quarry]

Switching to windowsubuntu

[thorn cove]

Hey guys, a weird noise is coming from my pc, it sounds like whistling or a fan being obstructed but nothing was obstructed. I stopped my fans one at a time except for my psu fan because I couldnt reach into it. But it did not help.

[elder quarry]

Cool whine?

[thorn cove]

what is a cool whine?

[lone ibex]

A noise your gpu makes

[elder quarry]

Coil whine*

[lone ibex]

Isn’t it in the gpu?

I have the same problem with mine

[elder quarry]

Usually from the gpu, but far from the definition

[thorn cove]

The entire system is 9 years old now, but I dont know if I should hold down my gpu fans to see haha

[lone ibex]

Ok so here’s the problem I’m having right now

I don’t want to freshly install Adrenalin

I just want the driver

[elder quarry]

It’s not related to the fans if it’s coil whine

[elder quarry]

Google is a thing, you know

[lone ibex]

I’m on the AMD website and I selected the driver for my gpu

[thorn cove]

It could be, it sounds like a high pitched zzzzzzz (not like sleeping) Kinda like leaving a part of your fan wires obstructing the fans

[elder quarry]

Yeah sounds like coil whine

[long beacon]

yall think 110$ is decent for a i7 9700k?

seems high to me, but kinda want it lol

just need a cheap cpu for 60fps games for my wife

she don’t need nun crazy

[lone ibex]

Ok I found a video

But can I install the driver itself without it fucking with Adrenalin?

[elder quarry]

I’m on Linux since long time, I can’t answer

[lone ibex]

Oh

[thorn cove]

depends on the type of games tbh, as long as your gpu doesnt get blocked by the cpu, youre usually fine

[steel umbra]

no no don’t

which country?

[thorn cove]

plus, the cpu is pretty old so try and get something newer and far better and cheaper too

[long beacon]

i was thinking older, probably 1660ti or a 1080 founders

[long beacon]

usd, i guess it comes with a mb, 16gb ram, and an auto

[wheat spire]

How does undervolting for example the 9070 xt? By my logic less power is less performance. How does that effect it and people seem to gaim better performance?

[long beacon]

aio*

[steel umbra]

buy a 5600 or if you have little more sell your old pc and buy a ryzen 5 7400 f / 7500 f / 7600 + b650m + 2x16gb ddr5 6000mt/s cl30 or cl32 if cheaper

[long beacon]

literally would just need a case, psu and storage

[long beacon]

i won’t lie i’m just going used, i just upgraded my pc, its for my wife, she plays sims, fortnite, and mc

[steel umbra]

oh not just the cpu? that’s not that bad then, what’s auto…?

[long beacon]

i just upgraded to a 5800x3d and a rx7800xt

[steel umbra]

how are used xeons?

[long beacon]

from a 5 2600 and a 1660

[thorn cove]

tbf, yeah that cpu is good but not a good price imo

[steel umbra]

do you still have the old system of 2600

[long beacon]

i don’t, i gave it to my brother for his build

[steel umbra]

120mm aio? yikes, but could’ve been worse

[thorn cove]

Oh for a combo is pretty good, 1 fan aio is kinda iffy though, what is the speed on the ram btw?

[steel umbra]

try negotiating $90

[long beacon]

i just messaged and asked

[thorn cove]

what he said 👆

[long beacon]

i wouldn’t run the aio tbh

i’d switch to an assassin

eh, honestly assassin may be overkill

i’d prolly just get a stock cooler

i hate aios tbh

[thorn cove]

Well if he has a stock cooler, go ahead, but if you are on a budget, keep that aio

[long beacon]

i’m on a pretty tight budget, just got done building our game room in our new house

literally built it. ground up lol

[thorn cove]

ah i see youre a man of culture aswell....

asking is free, ask if he still has his stock cooler kicking around

and maybe negotiate on price a little bit, but one last question; is the 9700k supporting windows 11?

[long beacon]

I will for sure. I just got too much into it as is lol

[elder quarry]

Google that

[steel umbra]

hello, i’m a discord user, your personal search engine

[long beacon]

it does

[thorn cove]

hah i knew it, youre here

[sinful cobalt]

undervolting basically tells the gpu to use less power and generate less heat while maintaining the efficiency

If you have a card with a high clock speed and good cooling like the red devil, from what I heard UV matches 5080 in CP277

[elder quarry]

Hello there

[long beacon]

cool so when they kill 10 i’ll be good to go

[steel umbra]

hi, how can i help you today 😁😊

[thorn cove]

yeah good value imo

[long beacon]

i hate the layout of 11

i just switched a few weeks ago

Rip

[mellow cairn]

All modern video cards have complex performance regulations within a power and heat window. Less voltage means more efficient. More efficient means more performance within the power window

[thorn cove]

you could change it to resemble 10 a little more

[long beacon]

2600mhz ram

[elder quarry]

When is comic con Stockholm

[long beacon]

shit will read in 3-5 business days

[long beacon]

i miss windows xp

[thorn cove]

hey, all im saying is that 2400 is good as long as youve never experienced better

[long beacon]

wild tangent days lol

[thorn cove]

its like a guy eating dry steaks thinks its fine but never experienced wagyu

[long beacon]

i have my ram overclocked, it’s stock 3600

[steel umbra]

I would recommend inquiring this question within google as i as a discord user search engine have no access to real time information 😊
is there anything else i can help with

[long beacon]

idk exact number without pulling it up but i did oc it pretty good. I wanna say 3800mhz but i cant remember its been so long

[thorn cove]

enlighten me, as a man with slow ram, what is the difference.

[elder quarry]

Where do you live

[long beacon]

why does it burn when i pee

[elder quarry]

It’s my search engine, not yours

[steel umbra]

i live nowhere and everywhere, i can see all your actions and wonderful deeds recorded by your mic so i can improve your experience with technology 😄👍

[elder quarry]

How bomb

[thorn cove]

he lives in the popular roblox game called meepcity

[long beacon]

as a producer, the difference is huge, loading times on my plugins has gone way down. Like night and day, Lightswitch type speeds in comparison

[steel umbra]

sorry your question seems incomplete

[elder quarry]

Meep meep, I’m a sheep

[elder quarry]

make install bomb?

[steel umbra]

i cannot help you with crimes sorry it breaches the terms of service and i’m programmed like that so sorry ||get noob||

[long beacon]

google that, i’m sure the watchlists are waiting lol

[thorn cove]

Ah so it enhances loading screen times?

[elder quarry]

What programming languages do you know

[thorn cove]

seems useful, cant exactly relate though............

[long beacon]

for my plugins, basically sound creation engines immensely. It helps in some games though. But the more ram the more chrome tabs i can open

[lone ibex]

Ok so I installed the driver itself but now Adrenalin is gone from the windows start menu like it was never there

[long beacon]

i’ve been able to open 800 at once before crashing

[steel umbra]

many wonderful programming languages! 😊

[long beacon]

roughly 800.

[long beacon]

variable “many” was not found

[elder quarry]

I’m hungry, can you nap out a route to the nearest macdondas

[thorn cove]

I did notice that though, most of my games take like 13 or 14 gigs, and my browser also uses like 8 gigs (totally not because I have 38 tabs open). My tutorial videos lag when I am playing.

[lone ibex]

Yeah I’m gonna start researching on how to switch to Linux

I js want to fucking play games in peace…

[long beacon]

cout << “User Kventinky not found” ;

[steel umbra]

the shortest route to nearest cliff is 47 degrees 6.3km to the east

[jaunty apex]

:>

[elder quarry]

Variable? Thats a command in PATH with the parameters “wonderful” “programmint” “language”

[thorn cove]

...hehehe welcome to the team, if you want to see someone try out Linux, see this one youtube channel called 'Bog'. He has a couple videos showing his experiences with different OS's. He has videos showing his experience as a newbie installing hyprland, virtualization, and Vim. If you dont like arch linux, he also has a video on Linux Mint.

[elder quarry]

Cliff?

[elder quarry]

Linux is better rhan windows

I’m starting to feel dizzy due to my lack of sleep hhehehhehe

[jaunty apex]

It looks a bit better now, couple issues with my theme there

[long beacon]

screw linux, let’s switch to chrome lmao

[elder quarry]

Chrome sucks

[thorn cove]

stop reminding me of school chromebooks........ opening 2 videos at once causes a crash.

[jaunty apex]

Chromeos is linux but corporate. Like android.

[long beacon]

Whatttt? Chrome rocks, i love being completely limited on anything that could be done by windows or linux

[elder quarry]

Locked to a browser and a trash docker-ish container

[steel umbra]

oh i’m very sorry i misunderstood your question 😊
nearest police station is 8 minutes away, directions are: turn left from your house, 500m, cross the intersection, then turn right through the frozen lake it’ll be the shortest route, then back to road, turn left again and then you should see the police station you’ve asked for 🤗
is there anything else i can help with

i had enough

[elder quarry]

The funny thing is,
That this is not wrong

[jaunty apex]

No see what you do is leave the front door, and take about 15-20 paces until you are standing on a white line

Then just wait

Might have better success laying down actually, at night

[elder quarry]

Define night

[jaunty apex]

That works

Long as theres no sun

[elder quarry]

I haven’t slept an hour

[elder quarry]

Sunrise?

[lone ibex]

I was also considering SteamOS because I’ve heard it’s going to be available for desktop soon and that it’s basically a form of Linux but better for gaming iirc

[jaunty apex]

Ehh immutable isnt great for desktop

[elder quarry]

“Research”?

[mellow cairn]

Steamos is more like a console

[jaunty apex]

You prob won't have a fun time. Unless you are only gaming in that case ymmv

[thorn cove]

I would consider it more of a console OS with benefits. If all you do is game, its great.

[elder quarry]

Yeah

[lone ibex]

I use a drawing tablet, I do cad and blender and also 3d print stuff so I guess that’s not for me

[elder quarry]

Blender is on Linux

And slicers + cad software

[lone ibex]

I just want a software that’s as easy to use as windows but doesn’t fuck with my gpu drivers when it wants to

[elder quarry]

Blender?

[mellow cairn]

Doesn't exist

[thorn cove]

Linux mint is good for that

[lone ibex]

Sorry I’m tired
I meant OS

[mellow cairn]

Because "as easy to use as windows" is not really a achievable because you have years of using windows as a reference

[elder quarry]

Try nobara based off of fedora and very user friendly

[lone ibex]

I have less than two years of using windows as a reference

I’ve only had a pc since August 2023

[elder quarry]

Dan

[lone ibex]

Before that I used my dad’s 2018 iMac and an android phone

[mellow cairn]

And you never used one before that?

[lone ibex]

Nope

[mellow cairn]

Jesus, are you .. 13?

[lone ibex]

16

[mellow cairn]

I started using Linux for the first time at 15 .... The year was 1996

[last knot]

Trying to avoid jank and ending up with a rat's nest anyway

[lone ibex]

My parents didn’t let me get a pc or a console because my old school had suggestions about how much screen time I should be having so if I got one I would use it too much

[thorn cove]

Well it depends, Linux mint is easy to use, here lemme find that video for you to see

[lone ibex]

This was 3rd to 8th grade

[elder quarry]

Cinnamon is messy

[lone ibex]

I built my pc in the summer before going into high school, 9th grade

[mellow cairn]

The good news is those "screen time" recommendations are made up garbage. They aren't entirely pointless, but they are also not particularly helpful

[lone ibex]

Yeah, it depends on what you’re doing with your time

[mellow cairn]

4 hours of brainrot vs 4 hours of doing interesting and engaging things

[lone ibex]

It was just a weird hippie-ish Waldorf school but I learned to respect people and to take care of responsibilities and my supplies and the classroom itself

[terse canopy]

I’ve seen the less screen time kids have, the more “human” they are.

[latent pasture]

what if they find brainrot as interesting and engaging thing

[thorn cove]

yeah i heard a lot about it but it was my first linux distro and it was pretty fun

[elder quarry]

5 hours of.. this

[lone ibex]

Oh my god kids have no respect these days in high school

I feel like a boomer saying this

[mellow cairn]

That's literally the problem

[terse canopy]

In general, yep.

[steel umbra]

you got me

[jaunty apex]

You aren't wrong tho. Felt that way in gs myself

[steel umbra]

by interesting i thought you meant something nerdy

[lone ibex]

In 3rd to 8th grade I watched drawing tutorials, played animal jam, minecraft, and a bunch of other stuff I can’t think of

Oh yeah I was really into tank and ship model kits

And rc cars

[mellow cairn]

My son plays on his iPad a lot, but he spends a bunch of time on learning games

[elder quarry]

Do not let him touch YouTube shorts

[lone ibex]

Animal jam, funnily enough, is a great way to learn how the value of things work

Fucking clothing is like the stock market
I can’t remember what everything is worth

[steel umbra]

well, youtube shorts are now mixed with regular content

they did that quite a while, while back ago

[jaunty apex]

Lmao really? Didnt get that impression

[lone ibex]

YouTube shorts can be good… I watch cooking content, pc stuff, game stuff and gun stuff

[terse canopy]

I despise youtubes algorithm. It’s only stuff it thinks I want to watch. Which is incredibly boring and echo chamber-y.

[lone ibex]

Yeah so people take the worth of clothing and “den” (furniture and other stuff you’d put in a home) items really seriously and the items from the beta are worth a ton and there’s glitched items and things that were released years ago that barely any people have

It’s as simple as a black spiked collar to a headdress to like some beard that has 2 other copies in game

[terse canopy]

But if I watch something of a passing interest, like “did we go to the moon?”, I’m flooded with all kinds of loony conspiracy junk.

[lone ibex]

That one guy who makes the fire ant terrariums is cool

[thorn cove]

This video was kind of my introduction to linux, Im fairly new to it too. Check it out and see if you like it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WkcLwXCFJQ&t=933s

But if you want to see different OS's SomeOrdinaryGamers is an arch linux user and a penguin enthusiast. These videos introduced me to arch linux:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urYjGtnfckM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GyOFlWs4HY&t=1192s
Just beware arch linux constantly changes from what ive heard, its not that beginner friendly.

[lone ibex]

Ayyyy mutahar

Or is it mudahar
Idk

[thorn cove]

Mutahard if yk what i mean

im sorry

[elder quarry]

Arch is mainstream

[thorn cove]

recommend me some more, linux is pretty fun to learn about

no i wont search it up

[elder quarry]

Learn a tiling window manager

[lone ibex]

I should probably get back to solving this stupid driver problem
Since adrenalin vanished all my settings and playtime for games that aren’t on steam is gone

[terse canopy]

Become comfortable with all 3 major OS’s. Understand what each is best suited for and how others use them. Then sit back and watch a lifetime of people fight over them.

[lone ibex]

[thorn cove]

Ill untile a window from a tall building and jump off it

[elder quarry]

Huh ok ser ya on the other side

[thorn cove]

those things look horrifying

[elder quarry]

MacOS is okay if all you do is idk work stuff

Something something ecosystem

It sucks for literally everything else

[elder quarry]

macOS is good if you have a Mac, no other use case

[lone ibex]

Yeah if you’re using MacOS the assumption is that you have a Mac

Oh shit my settings are still here

Thank fucking god

[elder quarry]

It’s pretty hardcore, I use it and I love it. I can’t switch back to normal desktops

[terse canopy]

If Mac has no other use case, then it shouldn’t be around. So… have fun sitting in the dark.

[lone ibex]

Well now I don’t feel like playing the game I was before I suddenly black screened and had to deal with this dumb driver shit

[thorn cove]

one day far in the future when I am bored of my OS, Ill try it.

[elder quarry]

Meh, you’re right, but there’s no reason to use macOS without a Mac.

To me at least

It feels like a bad mix of Linux and windows

[split rain]

Sorry to bump but I was still wondering if anyone had advice about this?

[south arrow]

Myte be alright

I'd just ask for a video of it running 3d mark demo with rivatuner showing fps and temps. That'll show performance and if it's struggling in any way

🍀 🐛

[split rain]

Got it, thanks! $900 seems like a good deal for the parts so I'm just hoping there's nothing wrong with it

[severe adder]

Is the sn770 ssd fairly good for gaming? Any concerns about it?

[steel umbra]

sure, the concern should be price per tb

generally avoid cheap nvmes with qlc nand and poor sustained performance from reviews, ssds that are known for component swapping by the manufacturer

[severe adder]

Oh okay

Can you recommend a good 2 tb ssd?

[steel umbra]

i don’t know the current pricing

sn580 ig?

[severe adder]

Was looking at klevv c910 but there’s been overheating worries

[steel umbra]

sure

[steel umbra]

it should throttle itself down in the worst case

[severe adder]

So it’s pretty safe to use?

[steel umbra]

and for gaming it will not heat up all that much

[severe adder]

Sick

[steel umbra]

yes

[severe adder]

Okay will go with that when it goes on discount ty

[agile stag]

i cant afford oled so im using a tonna old high end stuff i think

and it works good :3

[bleak ledge]

Mini and micro LEDs are starting to approach OLED in some instances

The ones with very dense full array local dimming

[sinful cobalt]

I’d like to have a tasting.

[agile stag]

yeah it looks solid but how much did that cost you

[wicked spruce]

a 💪🏼 and a 🦵🏼

but the blacks are deeper so it can burn in more bro

[sinful cobalt]

more than $1

784 SGD

Normally retail would be 1k, lowest Ive seen the samsung version of this was $880 but thats now nonexistent

[sinful cobalt]

???????????????

[wicked spruce]

most pleasant OLED ultrawide productivity experience

[sinful cobalt]

“tell me you dont know how oled works without telling me u dont know how oled works”

[sour locust]

how much thermal paste should i put on my CPU? just slotted it in right now

[frigid blade]

If you dont mind sitting further from the screen, I think in the US BestBuy has a 120Hz OLED TV for $500, 48 incher tho

[agile stag]

my old plasma would burn in if you left something on for like not even a minute but uh that was 20$

[sinful cobalt]

as much as u want as long as its not putty

[agile stag]

my new one though just magically doesnt burn in its like genuine magic

[wicked spruce]

i just do a small X

[agile stag]

also i had the idea of hooking up a laptop to it

and then remote accessing it from my pc or something idk

[sour locust]

even on am5? i have a 9700x and its got weird ridges

[remote mesa]

how to tell if the noise on my gpu is normal?

[wicked spruce]

yeah it doesnt matter a whole lot

[agile stag]

can you record it

[remote mesa]

right now no

[agile stag]

fair enough is it like a screechy noise

[frigid blade]

That’s not why they burn in

[agile stag]

or like a fan vibration noise

[remote mesa]

yes

[agile stag]

if its like a high pitched noise or whatever and if it also corresponds with whether or not the gpu is loaded then its probably some form of coil whine

what that means i dont exactly know but thats what you want to search up

i forgot how severe it was

but it wont kill your gpu

its not that bad from what i remember

[remote mesa]

its low frequency noise and i only hear it after a bit

[remote mesa]

thats because i think the fan curve stops them for a while before hitting a certain load

[agile stag]

if its lower frequency you could use msi afterburner to turn off the fans and see if it still makes noise

[frigid blade]

Read what I said again

[remote mesa]

ill try that

[agile stag]

if the fan is bad you can maybe find a replacement off ebay and theyre usually reasonably easy to install

just know that theres usually screws behind the blades often enough to hold on the fans

[remote mesa]

could be that something in there is causing this, because of the chunky three cable setup

or all of this just me given that my previous card was not this noisy

[wheat torrent]

God bless this software

[agile stag]

and then the fan wire goes into the gpu pcb in sone manner you can unplug it but check if it has a clip and if it does then unclip it while you unplug it

i dunno

[wheat torrent]

I wish there was no delay between turning monitors on and off tho

[agile stag]

im being evil

[remote mesa]

i cant find a video of what the normal noise should be

[copper swallow]

The misalignment of the two screens bothers me for no reason 😭

[frigid blade]

How often do you need to turn off monitors that you need software for it?

[copper swallow]

I just upgraded from 2 monitors to 4. I don't know if I like it or regret it. I feel a little claustrophobic now 😂

Maybe I just need to arrange them in a better way

[wheat torrent]

I got 4 monitors

Do you think I use all 4 of them always

I change between monitor layouts at least 20 times per day

[copper swallow]

Why would you do that?

[frigid blade]

Why not just keep them on?…

[copper swallow]

Genuine question out of curiosity

And yes why not simply keep them on

[wheat torrent]

Why would you keep a monitor that uses 30-50 watts on idle on if you don't use them

[copper swallow]

Because that amount is negligble in the grand scheme of things, you're saving pennies

But I guess it depends on where you live

[wheat torrent]

[cedar hollow]

How do people overclock their ram on AMD cpu

[wheat torrent]

Don't use it don't turn it on

Less heat less electricity used

[copper swallow]

What are you gonna do with the 10€ you save yearly? Buy a mansion?

Althogh I get your sentiment lol

[wheat torrent]

If I'm eating a candy on the street I could just drop the wrap on the ground

Its just one wrap it don't matter in the grand scheme of things

Or I could throw it in the trash whenever I get the chance

It doesn't take much to not have the monitor on always

Its one hotkey press

[stoic nova]

Do you feel like wasting a shitload of time

[frigid blade]

Average price for a kWh in the US is between $0.10-0.20, 30W device uses .72 kWh daily, that’s $0.40-0.80 per day for 4 monitors. Let’s say average $0.6/day, that’s $220/year? is my math wrong?

[cedar hollow]

errrrrr i mean no

[copper swallow]

That's not the same though? A little unfair to compare it to this

[cedar hollow]

can i just yeet volts at Vsoc and crnak up the clocks

[wheat torrent]

It is though

Using less electricity is better for the environment

[frigid blade]

I rounded up usage to 1kWh daily since he said 30-40W

[cedar hollow]

what if ur electricity comes from solar power

[wheat torrent]

Having all monitors on would use like 150 watts total

[wheat torrent]

The monitors still generate heat

[frigid blade]

I just did the math, it does add up

[copper swallow]

Lol well that's commendable I guess...

I'm sure in 10000 years it will balance the CO2 output from factories and cars 🙏

[cedar hollow]

Negligible

ur body produces more heat than a monitor

[wheat torrent]

If everyone thinks this way then we are fucked

[cedar hollow]

it's environmentally friendly to just not exist

[copper swallow]

It's about focusing on the areas/fields where the real issue is. Minor things like this are negligble

[frigid blade]

Is no one going to acknowledge the fact that it costs $220/year to run 4 monitors all day

I feel like that’s a lot

[stoic nova]

Global population couldn't care less what western society does anyway

[cedar hollow]

i cant believe bro said "heat" as an environmental argument against monitors

that is just insane to me

[copper swallow]

I am going to acknowledge that. I'm also going to say that while it's a solid estimate, it doesn't account for vacations, downtime when turning off the PC, and other factors, which require you to NOT be at the PC. So it's most likely lower than this because this is assuming 24/7 for a year.

[frigid blade]

Yah, but it still is quite a lot

[copper swallow]

It is I won't deny

[wheat torrent]

Twisting the narrative

[frigid blade]

I didn’t know it was that much

I assumed way less, sheesh

[cedar hollow]

not twisting anything lmao you're the one that said it not me

[wheat torrent]

I didnt say I dont use my monitors because it generates heat, I am saying that not using them when not needed is better as it doesnt use electricity for no reason and even if it was solar energy the electricty still gets turned into heat for no reason

[frigid blade]

What does a high end pc idle at?

[cedar hollow]

define high end

my pc idles at approx 50W with the rgb on

[frigid blade]

The best parts you can find

[wheat torrent]

mine uses 150 W idle

[cedar hollow]

yeah around 50w for me

[copper swallow]

@frigid blade Keep in mind it depends where you live. My 4 monitors cost me $125.56 a year, but I turn off my PC every night, so you can probably halve that.

[wheat torrent]

400 W while playing rdr2

[remote mesa]

it could be an intel build so you need a 2000w psu

lmao

[frigid blade]

I went with a range, Europe will cost more

[wheat torrent]

300W while working

[copper swallow]

I am from Europe

[cedar hollow]

let me check my pc's idle power draw rn actually

[wheat torrent]

dont check it using software

[copper swallow]

All I'm saying is that it's not as bad as it seems

Because there are a lot of things to consider

[frigid blade]

Still bad tho

[frigid blade]

Anyway

[wheat torrent]

software is not accurate at all

[copper swallow]

I would have to disagree because, again, the estimate you made makes certain assumptions that aren't relevant for many people

[cedar hollow]

im using wall socket reader

[wheat torrent]

I borrowed one from my uncle to check how much my server is using

I need to buy one of my own, quite useful

[copper swallow]

What are these called?

[cedar hollow]

i just looked up wall socket power meter

[copper swallow]

Alright cool

[wheat torrent]

you leave those plugged in for a certain amount

you can set the kWh price directly

[cedar hollow]

nvm i just chcked my pc draws 160w idle

[wheat torrent]

and then just shows you how much watts you used per hour and whatnot

[cedar hollow]

with all the rgb on

actually 160w is very good

I'm quite surprised its so low

[copper swallow]

That's actually pretty useful!

[cedar hollow]

i have overclocked cpu and gpu so this is nice to see

[frigid blade]

Average cost per kWh was €0.25 in Europe 2024, still pretty expensive

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/images/2/22/Development_of_electricity_prices_for_household_consumers_2008-2024.png

[cedar hollow]

oh nice it dropped to 150W

[orchid lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZN_whA-c3Q

is the guy pulling data out of his ass?

[cedar hollow]

no thats steam charts probably

[copper swallow]

That is NOT expensive my man. 4 average monitors would in that case be 73€ a year if ran for 24/7

[cedar hollow]

Its no surprise that nvidia is far ahead of AMD

[wheat torrent]

anyways another reason im using display layouts is that sometimes I need to duplicate one screen to another

this way I can do that in one hotkey instead of having to enter display settings in windows

[copper swallow]

Wait I'm wrong. My calculation is assuming 8 hours of use per day so not 24/7

Still cheap

[cedar hollow]

Even GTX 1060 is more popular than AMD iGPU

[orchid lintel]

my gpu is 4th!!!

[copper swallow]

Which software are you using? I'm using PowerToys, which has some monitor layout managing capabilities that are pretty useful.

[cedar hollow]

Lucky

My GPU is not even on this chart

[orchid lintel]

the 1650 seems odd in all these

[edgy holly]

My GPU ain't even on the list lmao

[cedar hollow]

Same

[edgy holly]

What you got ?

[frigid blade]

At 24/7 with 4 monitors that’s 3-4kWh/day which is €0.75-1/day which is €273.75-365/year

[orchid lintel]

are these 2 amd both igpus?
If yes, then i have 2 of my gpus in the list!

[stoic nova]

Ever experiment with stuff like unified remote or spacedesk?

I've gone from 3 monitor mess

To just one and my phone

Windows key + Tab has been also a game changer
