[ripe spire]

It’s just that one gets stuck here and there, or maybe they both occasionally get stuck

The resale value of this laptop is just 📉📉📉

[raven sluice]

I don't recommend eating those

they might look like candy but they taste bad

instead, eat silica and thermal paste

it's perfect for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

[wheat torrent]

Any network expert herd might give me some insight into WiFi channels

Would I get better speeds if I configure my wifi router to be say in the channels 52-56-60

Or most routers can't even do that

[royal stone]

ye chat I might be cooked

[wheat torrent]

You're cooked

[royal stone]

the am4 bracket DOES NOT fit

[wheat torrent]

That doesnt look like am4 bracket

Does it say am4 on it

Nvm

You have it wrong orientation

[stoic nova]

LMFAO

Man

Homeboy just couldn't figure it out

Was completely stumped

[tidal geyser]

this guy needs some help

[tidal geyser]

uhm you did watch the video

[royal stone]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

as from what i can see there is no bracket under there

[royal stone]

also yes

[tidal geyser]

you did watch the part where he has the stock am4 bracket under?

[candid bolt]

anyone know sum cheap dual arm monitor?

[royal stone]

I don’t think so I got up to where he’s putting the am4 bracket thing on and mine is way smaller

[tidal geyser]

it cant be

all am4 brackets are the same

[royal stone]

it 100% says am4 on the back of it and it just is simply too small

[tidal geyser]

pic

[royal stone]

Am4 bracket

[gloomy sleet]

put the bracket here

[tidal geyser]

eh??

[royal stone]

https://tenor.com/view/im-so-disappointed-in-myself-eric-cartman-butters-stotch-south-park-s12e7-gif-21163297

[tidal geyser]

i meant the backplate

[gloomy sleet]

it’s obvious lmao

[royal stone]

don’t let me cook man

[tidal geyser]

o wow wait, the cooler even comes with a bracket if your missing your stock one

[gloomy sleet]

try it one way then try it the other way

[tidal geyser]

the one its meant to come with

well the motherboard

[royal stone]

Yeah I’ve taken that out btw it’s sitting beside me

[tidal geyser]

there is no way he is THAT dumb

[royal stone]

took it out when I was uninstalling the old one

[tidal geyser]

you already had a cooler

[royal stone]

unfortunately this may actually be the case ngl

[tidal geyser]

WTF

[royal stone]

Stock AMD

[tidal geyser]

anyways put it back on as its needed

[gloomy sleet]

real

[tidal geyser]

you need to have it on the back there for the red thingys to fit

[gloomy sleet]

you try it the long way and it doesn’t fit and you don’t immediately think to try it the other way

[queen perch]

Is $600 a good price for a used great condition EVGA 3080 ti?

[tidal geyser]

you said you watched the video

[gritty charm]

Don't feel bad I had the same problem when I upgraded my computer

[tidal geyser]

that is 9070 xt amounts

[gloomy sleet]

how????

[tidal geyser]

sad

[gritty charm]

Yes, but I recommend getting a used 3080 and overclocking it because it'll be the same performance for cheaper.

[queen perch]

And?

[tidal geyser]

i am a kinda 400 tops for that but if ya really need cuda max 500

[queen perch]

Gotcha

[tidal geyser]

vram?

[queen perch]

Roommate is finally getting into PC gaming so we’re looking at cards and since he just plays on his 4K tv we figured we would just set the resolution to 1440 and let the TV upscale if need be

[bronze jay]

BREAKING: Popular tech YouTuber Linus Tech Tips advocates for waterboarding in video games; should parents be concerned?

[queen perch]

Coming from an Xbox series x

[tidal geyser]

use DLSS for upscaling

also 16GB of vram for 4k

or more ofc

or even grab a 9070 xt too

[queen perch]

It won’t be “4K” gaming. It’s not like his Xbox is actually doing that.

[tidal geyser]

prices rn are fucked but so is the US economy if you are there

[tidal geyser]

well yeah upscaling

[queen perch]

Yeah, Chicagoland area I just got back from Micro Center picking up all the other components for his computer

[reef osprey]

guys, please, which airflow setup should I run? there are misc opinions about this one: my h510 is the no flow version:

[gritty charm]

Just use DLSS for games that support it and then use the TV for everything else in game mode.

[tidal geyser]

ooo then its possible or well was possible to grab a 9070 xt for 600

[ripe spire]

anyone got any idea here, im locally hosting an mc server on my gaming laptop, but like i dont wanna use my public ip as the thing that ppl input to be able to connect to my server, anyone got like a free thing i can use that acts as a bridge hiding my ip?

[tidal geyser]

get a new case

[gritty charm]

One, but move the back fan to an intake fan.

[queen perch]

Nah they’re sold out

[tidal geyser]

phanteks xt pro ultra

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaaa that is the issue when you are too good

[queen perch]

Yup

[reef osprey]

hmm

[strange atlas]

Any chance i can find non pirate docx file editor

[gritty charm]

My only concern is the one top outtake fan. You genuinely want two fans instead of one up there. The back fan won't do anything as an out take fan other then harm your cpu fan.

[tidal geyser]

libre office

[strange atlas]

Thank you let me search it up

[tidal geyser]

i use it for school now

[reef osprey]

damn, I'll prolly get a new case I think >_<

[tidal geyser]

ngl its better then word at least for me

[queen perch]

I mean, there is a site that even Elias has mentioned that I’ve known about for a long time and one of his more recent videos you could always “get” office for

[gritty charm]

I think that's a better decision. Alternatively you could use your case if you get an aio.

[queen perch]

That being said in today’s world, I feel like at the bare minimum. Microsoft Word should be free for more complicated task based programs like excel for say an accountant it makes sense to charge.

[reef osprey]

aio? hmm

[strange atlas]

What does that mean i didnt quite get it 👉 👈

[tidal geyser]

aint there only mounting for a 120mm AIO?

[gritty charm]

All in one liquid cooler

[reef osprey]

oh

[tidal geyser]

or just use libre office

[strange atlas]

i have to do someone elses school project cause they asked my mama cause i'm developer i'm freaking tripping i've got so mad but dont want to let my mama down

[queen perch]

Yeah just misses some features

[tidal geyser]

tbh the only things its missing is the stuff that needs money to do

well keep doing

[gritty charm]

Maybe get libre office and only office as a combo

[tidal geyser]

libre office cant do online stuff together but that ofc makes sense why

[queen perch]

Notepad++ all day everyday

Or just use google doc

[strange atlas]

Man how did they get to this age without knowing how to do a thesis on computer its so dumb

[queen perch]

Sent you a FQ

[magic basalt]

@tidal geyser hi again need ur help. i got a gigabyte 9070 XT but yk sometimes when I switching between window tabs, or like doing fast movements, it stops outputting any display info and my monitor goes "No display info available" but my fans are spinning led on the ram is on etc.

[tidal geyser]

does it then go back to working

[magic basalt]

no i gotta restart my pc

[tidal geyser]

what psu

[magic basalt]

I am using display port btw

[tidal geyser]

how is the gpu plugged in

[strange atlas]

Maybe amd problem same thing happens to me when i open screen recording it solves itself

[tidal geyser]

does this happen when gaming

[royal stone]

Keeps falling out because guy in the video is building just from a motherboard and I’m basically building it in the case

[magic basalt]

no always rn it happened during gaming but b4 it happened when I was coding.

gigabyte P850GM

[ripe spire]

ugh remote desktop was working fine temporarily, now the shift key is stuck again

[tidal geyser]

pic of the inside of the pc

[strange atlas]

press shift onces

[ripe spire]

in other news: i screwed in the screw that was coming loose in my pc of my aio radiator fans

[ripe spire]

i have to go up 2 flights of stairs to do that, theres a reason i was using remote desktop

[ripe spire]

why is ur gpu so low down

[magic basalt]

i got no other option thats where the pcie thing is at

[ripe spire]

lmao, how tf do u get ur lil bios battery out if u ever need to whatever its called

[tidal geyser]

you should be able to do 3 different cables to it from the psu

[tidal geyser]

its not

[magic basalt]

take out the gpu and its there

[ripe spire]

thats a lot of effort

[magic basalt]

you think thats the issue?

[tidal geyser]

worth a try

i think i have now seen like 5 different people who have had their pc do this and it being a power issue

[magic basalt]

because even when I am gaming the gpu is at like 40% lol

[tidal geyser]

not really

[tidal geyser]

have you done a DDU

[ripe spire]

in about a month or so im gonna sit down with my pc, pray it doesnt break in my hands, bc i need to dust the fans of my gpu (highkey shitting myself for this moment), and then i need to flip my aio cpu bit

[tidal geyser]

tried to lower hz or res of the monitor

[magic basalt]

damn okay because I dont have a 3rd cable anymore since the one that came with my psu is broken so i prolly gotta buy a new one...

[ripe spire]

what the hell, i cant remember names of pc parts, clearly my studying for my school exams has brainwashed me

[tidal geyser]

broken how

[magic basalt]

i am using 2 joint cable and 1 on its own rn

[magic basalt]

like yk in the inside of the pin there is no metal golden thing

[tidal geyser]

what

[magic basalt]

i did windows reset

[tidal geyser]

i want a pic of this

[tidal geyser]

low the hz of the monitor

[magic basalt]

like u see the metal

inside the pin, for one of the cables its not there connected

[tidal geyser]

most cables tend to have missing ones

just like that one

[magic basalt]

let me show u mine one and let me know if it is fine

[tidal geyser]

but for pcie eh not really

some rare times it can be tho

[magic basalt]

there

[tidal geyser]

that is not pcie

that is for the cpu

see how the other cable is split in the middle

it means its 4+4

[agile stag]

is this good for a somewhat upgradable htpc https://pcpartpicker.com/list/969qVF

[tidal geyser]

omg it only comes with 2 pcie cables

[tidal geyser]

upgradable uhm no not even close

well eh not really close

[rigid fjord]

this how it should be, but if that's your case in the pic i'd get a better one

[magic basalt]

ohh i didnt know ty for letting me know

then i dont have any other wire for it then

[tidal geyser]

hmmmmm

can you try and lower the hz

[reef osprey]

I dont have the front open

[tidal geyser]

also worth a try to reseat all the cables from the psu on both ends

or at least making sure they are all the way in

[rigid fjord]

it's called a dns. you can get one cheap enough that'll allow you to hide tthe ip addy and point to it

[ripe spire]

hm okay, and how do i set one of those up

[thin plover]

playit.gg is perfect for this

[rigid fjord]

google will give you the same answers i could give for this tbh

[ripe spire]

i used it, but it only let me set up one agent, so i can only host one mc server, i wanna be able to host at least 2 or maybe even 3

it works well but only let me use one

[thin plover]

I am able to get more than one without paying

[ripe spire]

it said something about a docker agent?

idk what that is

[thin plover]

idk never heard that

all I know is they got a special Minecraft option

and you can change the port per server

[magic basalt]

will do thanks again sim!

[thin plover]

@ripe spire wait I only got one agent too, but multiple tunnels in that one agent

able to add as many tunnels as I want

[tidal geyser]

i just use cloudflare

[thin plover]

only can't choose what the address is called

[tidal geyser]

just my ip to a domain

[thin plover]

does that work if I can't port forward

don't think I can even get a static ip

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

anyways yes and no

DDNS for the 2nd one

i do not pay for static but it has not changed for 40 days

at least 40 days

[thin plover]

o

[tidal geyser]

anyways you can just a cloudflare tunnel something i wanna try out on the network i cant port forward on

[thin plover]

well this app has special presets for Minecraft (all it does is set the port to 25565)

[wheat torrent]

I keep hearing 2 beeps while using my computer

am I screwed

[thin plover]

check beep codes in the motherboard manual

[ripe spire]

ohhh is that how u have multiple mc servers

[wheat torrent]

while using the computer tho

[tidal geyser]

skill issue

[wheat torrent]

not when starting the computer

[thin plover]

yes, just set the port inside the server config file and on playit to something different so the two servers don't get crossed

maybe I should look into a way of adding a line to run the playit program when the start.bat is activated

wait that's really easy

[tidal geyser]

it just changes the port

its not that hard

all i do on the network i port forward on is open the tcp port 25565 for one server then 25555 for another and so on for diffrent servers i keep running

[tired bear]

it depends on your region
sometimes you are allowed to transmit with less power, sometimes it doesnet matter

[high field]

yoo guys what do you think about the arctic P12 fans?

[wheat torrent]

I made post sin #1360721352608186509

[ripe spire]

what port should i use

[tired bear]

get em

[wheat torrent]

if you want to talk there if not this is fine

[tired bear]

its more of a #networking question anyway

[thin plover]

any is fine, you can just change one number

[wheat torrent]

damn this is confusing gg

[high field]

Currently looking at the p12 max to replace the fan with my case 3 years ago, so they shouldn't be too expensive and they look like a good idea

[tired bear]

get p14 if you can fit em

[high field]

Need 120mm

[thin plover]

just make sure that if you have two mc servers, one using 25565 and one using 25566 (example) you also have two tunnels in the playit program with the same ports

[wheat torrent]

I need to sign in to see the routers manual

[tired bear]

huawei yikes

[tidal geyser]

same thought

[tidal geyser]

uhm i would replace that as fast as you can tbh

[wheat torrent]

I just got it

[ripe spire]

okay im working on it, wish me luck

[wheat torrent]

very useful

I assume some routers cant do certain channels

USB storage device?

[tidal geyser]

that means its easy to return it

[tired bear]

which channels can you use?

[wheat torrent]

USB NAS?

[tidal geyser]

yea?

[tidal geyser]

most things can do that now

[tired bear]

on routers interface

[tidal geyser]

but its pretty shit

[wheat torrent]

I would assume so

[wheat torrent]

cant tell you

I can't access the admin panel after setting it up

would have to factory reset

[strange atlas]

is it possible to make chatgpt write 30 docx pages long text?

[wheat torrent]

can do that tomorrow tho

[tired bear]

did you wilingly buy this router or is it ISP's?

[wheat torrent]

I bought this router today from a guy accross the city

[tidal geyser]

why

[wheat torrent]

this seems to be a common issue tho

[strange atlas]

I want to make chatgpt write thesis for someone

[tidal geyser]

UUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM

red flag galore

[wheat torrent]

nah its not that deep

[tidal geyser]

chat gpt is free why would they not do it themselvs

[tidal geyser]

why do you think they got banned

[wheat torrent]

who got banned, what

[tired bear]

for that specific one maybe
overall: Hell no

[wheat torrent]

nah its common issue since im running it as a repeater

[tidal geyser]

living under a rock?

[wheat torrent]

so I cant access the ip of the admin panel

because of DHCP fuckery whatever

[tidal geyser]

you can

[tired bear]

check on main router dhcp leases

[tidal geyser]

this is how i connected to my wifi bridge

welp its midnight and im sleepy

[wheat torrent]

why huawei got banned?

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/sleep-sleeping-sleepy-cat-black-cat-gif-13917441161743115015

[wheat torrent]

it got banned in US only

its still used in other countries just like normal

[frigid blade]

Chayna

[wheat torrent]

this?

I can see only my devices but not the router

[tired bear]

go to maclookup and search each one until you find huawei

[wheat torrent]

this huawei router is set on 192.168.100.1

while my main router is 192.168.0.1

[gloomy sleet]

honestly might

cheap enough

[ripe spire]

it hasnt worked, the server is up and its not letting me join it, i got the ip right

[gloomy sleet]

do they sell rechargeable batteries?

[strange atlas]

Apparently they dont know anything about technology is it possible to make chatgpt write 30 pages long thessis?

[frigid blade]

No, run your own LLM and increase the max output tokens

[strange atlas]

I have no idea about artificial intelligence cause i dont like it i didnt even search anything about it bbefore

but i dont want to write an thesis for 30 pages for somebody else for free

so would want chatgpt to help me but if it cant thats sad

[wicked mulch]

How do I fix stable 700 ping

[gloomy sleet]

better internet

or ethernet

[wheat torrent]

how can I find whats making 2 beeps in windows 11

is there like a event history

[grizzled frost]

on boot?

check motherboard manual for post codes

[grizzled frost]

use ethernet, if it’s still high, it’s an ISP problem

[wheat torrent]

no

in windows 11

[grizzled frost]

Where’s the beep coming from?

[wheat torrent]

my headphones

im a dumbass fuck me

my headphone are low on battery

https://tenor.com/view/stuart-bob-minions-kevin-gif-14294196

kill me

[rigid fjord]

knock off gameboy colour, you could do this with a mister fpga

[wheat torrent]

I thought my ram is faulty and was getting sad

[gloomy sleet]

yes but it runs linux

[deft bay]

Anyone do python?

[rigid fjord]

so can a mister fpga

[wheat torrent]

thx for helping me out

[gloomy sleet]

i do not in fact have relations with a snake

[gloomy sleet]

what’s that?

[devout oxide]

Is it worth it to go above 24 gigs ram for a server just for me? It’ll be running jelly fin,pyhole, and some other background clients like BitTorrent and such but mostly media based like managers or discord bot

[wheat torrent]

play minecraft on server

[devout oxide]

It can’t run Minecraft server not enough compute

But should I buy another stick of 16 gigs? 48 should be enough

[odd marsh]

yeah thats fine

[devout oxide]

Buy the stick or nah?

[thin plover]

do the ports of playit and the server config file match? and do you have the playit.gg app running?

[odd marsh]

wait so would this be 3 sticks of memory? What cpu

[rigid fjord]

google it

[grizzled frost]

is it a 3 memory channel CPU?

[rigid fjord]

what cpu is being used for this ?

[gloomy sleet]

your the one who initiated the conversation here

[wet ember]

i think i found my gpu's limits

[rigid fjord]

doesn't mean i have to hold your hand and guide you through it

[gloomy sleet]

kinda rude to recommend something and then completely block me off when i try to ask about it

[devout oxide]

2 channel? It can handle up to 4 I tyhink

[grizzled frost]

get matching sticks then

[rigid fjord]

what cpu

[devout oxide]

nah

[grizzled frost]

tf you mean “nah”

[devout oxide]

Slower speeds is fine, i5 7500

[pearl burrow]

Hey guys, I can build a custom pc but with part shortages I'm looking to just be done with it with a new prebuilt. Any good recommendations for a 9800x3d prebuilt?

[devout oxide]

I mean matching sticks would be expensive an unneeded

[gloomy sleet]

anyway an fpga is like 8x the price of the thing i sent

[rigid fjord]

this does dual channel only, not triple nor quad channel

[grizzled frost]

then just stick with 24gb and reap the rewards of higher clock speeds

[devout oxide]

It doesn’t do quad channel but it can handle 4 channels

[rigid fjord]

incorrect, that's 4 sticks in dual channel still

[grizzled frost]

4 dimms, 2 channels, being 2dpc

[devout oxide]

I have 2 sticks that are 3200 and my other one is 2666

[devout oxide]

That’s what I meant

[grizzled frost]

what

how many sticks and of what capacities?

[rigid fjord]

sounds like 3x 8gb

[devout oxide]

1stixk of 8, 2666, 1 of 16 at 3200

I lied my bad

[rigid fjord]

you can't math for shit

[devout oxide]

I forgot I’m at work sorry

[devout oxide]

8 + 16 =24

[grizzled frost]

you’re best off getting another 16gb 3200 stick and just using the two 16gb sticks

[devout oxide]

That’s what I said I have?

[grizzled frost]

especially with ddr4, you want that speed for most applications

[rigid fjord]

this means 2+1

[devout oxide]

The cpu can only handle 3000 MT anyway

[grizzled frost]

3000>2666

[devout oxide]

I forgot the combination sorry

Yeah but 50>32

And it’s a server so clock speed isn’t super important anyway

[rigid fjord]

not with the way you're fucking with the imc

[devout oxide]

You think so?

[rigid fjord]

you currently have the imc going in hybrid/flex mode

[devout oxide]

Sure whatever that means

It’s a vpro if that means anything also

[rigid fjord]

under jedec, what the i5 7500 does

[devout oxide]

Oh yea, so even the 2666 sticks is overkill

So it’s fineeeeeeee

[dusky citrus]

i made the mistake of pressing install after searching for updates in the winodws menu and it has been stuck on 5% for 20 minutes, i would really like to turn my computer off but idk if its safe (computer is in estonian)

[rigid fjord]

speed isn't so much the issue, but stability is going to be more of an issue due to mixing capacities

[dusky citrus]

i would really appreciate if someone told me what to do

because i cant cancel it either

[devout oxide]

Hasn’t crashed yet

[dusky citrus]

and its just sitting on 5%

[devout oxide]

True

I’ve ran Jellyfin on it though, that slams a core for a second or three

[clear canyon]

hmm

[clear canyon]

jellyfin is awsome, I use it all the time

i run mine as an app on truenas scale

im closing in on having around 500GB worth of movies, anime and shows

they are all 1080p, no 4k or stupid high bitrates either

[devout oxide]

I have 5tb for anime

High is so so much because anime is 1080p at most

[arctic tapir]

Cleaning some of the cables and stuff up now

[clear canyon]

5TB worth of storage or 5TB of used storage?

[clear canyon]

nice, looks great

[devout oxide]

Mostly worth I have probably 500 gigs of anime

Mostly just cause I have aikatsu

But it’s dedicated to anime

[clear canyon]

never heard of aikatsu

[arctic tapir]

Thank you

[devout oxide]

It’s just a long anime

90 gigs

[clear canyon]

The longest anime I have is around 50 something ep

[devout oxide]

Point is I have to much storage

I’m thinking about buying a 12 or 18tb lmao

Gotta get that space for anime

[clear canyon]

I have 39 different animes, 116 animated movies including anime movies and 46 non-animated movies

[wheat torrent]

So my understanding is that if there is WiFi channels overlapping there is more data interference thus worse speeds

[devout oxide]

• trumps tariffs be scary

[clear canyon]

I have around 5TB worth of total space

[terse canopy]

This is a thing!

[clear canyon]

the name is weird lmao

Train the trainer training

[clear canyon]

all we can do is hope it goes well for what ever he has planned

[terse canopy]

Yea, that exact phrasing is used. I’ve seen it with IT implementation companies where they will train one or more of your employees who will then train the rest of the company staff

[devout oxide]

Actually I have 6, forgot I put in a 1 tb nvme

[clear canyon]

yeah, im doing an essay over that exact thing rn lmao

[terse canopy]

Lol.

[wheat torrent]

Theoretically can you install a faraday cage mesh in your apartment floor and roof to isolate yourself from neighbors WiFi

[devout oxide]

Ask the apartment manager

[clear canyon]

or do what elijah did and coat it with graphite

[grizzled frost]

same thing

that acts as a faraday cage

[clear canyon]

its literally not

[wheat torrent]

Wise

I remember that video indeed

[clear canyon]

lol

[grizzled frost]

honestly isn’t a bad idea

[quiet light]

Saw some vid where ztt mentioned some site they let's you group download a bunch of apps, does anyone have that sites name or something similar?

[hexed tapir]

Try the ztt discord

[wheat torrent]

All 5g routers in my apartment building work on same WiFi band

I wonder if this would be a problem

[clear canyon]

can you not adjust it

[wheat torrent]

Technically 5g has lower distance

[clear canyon]

yeah it will

[wheat torrent]

I will tomorrow

[quiet light]

Ah mb ty

[wheat torrent]

Look at this

[clear canyon]

that one band is being fucked rn

[wheat torrent]

I wonder if that's why my router can't reach its 1gbps potential

[terse canopy]

It’s definitely a factor

[wheat torrent]

It does 500 mbps at most near the router

[hexed tapir]

Use lead and graphite paint on your walls

[wheat torrent]

400-500

Going to do some experimenting tomorrow

Also this new router I installed for some reason has the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz in a single access point

While my other router has it split into 2 separate ones, I wonder what's better

[terse canopy]

That’s…. Normal?

[grizzled frost]

only matters if your device sucks at switching between the two bands

[terse canopy]

I’m looking at an AP right now that has 2.4,5, and 6 in a single AP

[grizzled frost]

I think they mean networks

[wheat torrent]

Which is better

[wheat torrent]

Yes

[grizzled frost]

only matters if your device sucks at switching between the two bands

in which case you’d want separate ones and you switch between them yourself

99% of the time you want one single network though

[wheat torrent]

Ah so the combined one takes the task of giving you the right feedback from the router

While the other expects for your device to do it

[grizzled frost]

unless you just want a separate 2.4ghz network for your smart devices or whatever

[wheat torrent]

Yeah I'll attempt to combine them into one

[grizzled frost]

Combined makes it the device’s problem, separate makes it the user’s problem

[clear canyon]

2.4 and 5ghz is common, the tri band ones with 6ghz is becoming more common. 2.4 is used most often by most devices like a printer, cleaning bot, etc but it can be blocked easily with microwaves, 5ghz is also common and some more modern devices use it but it has a shorter range but its much faster

idk much about 6ghz

but its good to have all 3

[grizzled frost]

6ghz is the description of 5ghz, but more

[wheat torrent]

I need to figure out how to make my repeater work properly

[grizzled frost]

more speed than 5ghz, but less penetration power

[terse canopy]

Example: https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/wifi-flagship/products/u7-pro

[wheat torrent]

Apparently sometimes you can't access the admin panel since there are permission issues since it doesnt have a dchp server

Which I think is what happened in my case

[grizzled frost]

if it’s the same brand as the main AP, use their software

[clear canyon]

dhcp is handled by your router normally

[grizzled frost]

if it isn’t the same brand, no guarantees it works at all

[wheat torrent]

Nah its 2 different routers

[plucky hull]

is this just bad readings or is it really using 107% of my cpu?

[wheat torrent]

I'm not using AP

[clear canyon]

overclocked

[plucky hull]

turbo maybe? cuz i havent overclocked it

[clear canyon]

idk tbh

[wheat torrent]

Using a gpon router as a repeater

[plucky hull]

was trying to overclock my gpu to see how much more fps i could get

[clear canyon]

what is your gpu, and overclocks mainly help the 0.1% and 1% lows

it will raise the average up too

[plucky hull]

evga 3070 XC3 ULTRA

[clear canyon]

are you having fps issues? if so it might be vram related

[wheat torrent]

Also a weird thing is my main router doesn't show my second router in the client list

Even though it's directly connected with Ethernet

[plucky hull]

im getting like 105-114 fps in rivels

[arctic tapir]

Trying to get some better pictures of this pc lol

[clear canyon]

oh, its marvel rivals, you wont have vram issues then

[plucky hull]

ah, ya i overclocked the mem 1k and it did nothing for fps
150 on the core gave me like 5 fps boost

both at the same time crashed my game

[clear canyon]

bc you went too hard on the OC, I recommend 100 on core, and 800 on memory, be sure to max out power limit and the voltage slide

core voltage I mean

[plucky hull]

yep power limit was the first thing i tried, i was trying numbers from what someone posted on the evga forum

my temps are much higher tho so thats prob why it crashed, they have more fans cooling it

[clear canyon]

160 is alot, I would never push mine that hard

[plucky hull]

also my case airflow is shit

[clear canyon]

I bet you just pushed it way too hard

I can push my memory to about 1600 and core to 140 before crashing

[plucky hull]

im like 10c higher on temps, but also prob

[wheat torrent]

How long can DC power cables get

[plucky hull]

~70c hot spot 80 with the overclock

[wheat torrent]

For router

[clear canyon]

ouch, mine maxes around 73c

with the oc

I have a 4080 gaming x trio

[wheat torrent]

I want to install a router on the celling but how I'm supposed to power it

Power over Ethernet is a thing

[clear canyon]

why are you installing a router on the ceiling?

you mean an AP?

[wheat torrent]

Second router

[clear canyon]

????

[haughty thistle]

I need help, I ordered a b550 aorus elite ax v2 1.5 and I was wondering what bios I need to install on it for ryzen 7 5700x3d?

[wheat torrent]

I guess it's an AP

I use 2 routers to extend WiFi range

[clear canyon]

bruh, an AP is NOT a router, you cannot have 2 routers on the same network

[wheat torrent]

Yet I can

[clear canyon]

no

[wheat torrent]

Using it rn

[clear canyon]

you have an AP

[wheat torrent]

Sure

[clear canyon]

NOT 2 routers

[plucky hull]

ya having 1 case fan is prob not the play

[wheat torrent]

Yeah I guess

Okay so 2 modems

[clear canyon]

oh yeah 100% lmao

[plucky hull]

its also 16c in my room so it should be a lot cooler

[clear canyon]

I have my case maxed with fans, the top 2 fans go to my AIO

[clear canyon]

brother... ur trolling

ur spouting nonsence

[plucky hull]

i was thinking about buying more fans but didnt know how many to get

[clear canyon]

well how many fan headers do you have and how many spots in the case do u have open?

[plucky hull]

cuz like my cpu fan is kinda like an exhaust fan

[clear canyon]

eh, it helps redirect it if its a tower

[plucky hull]

4 headers

[clear canyon]

but not really an exhaust

[plucky hull]

its pointed up, let me get a pic

[clear canyon]

up??

how did you manage to point it up?

[plucky hull]

idk, thats just how it mounted

[ripe sable]

Is this any good

[clear canyon]

delete it, its bloat ware

[frigid blade]

Never had to use it

[clear canyon]

I dont think thats right

[plucky hull]

only if u have the laptop

[ripe sable]

What is bloat ware

[wheat torrent]

Idk when people say access point I'm thinking of a circular thingy or some shit that is designed specifically to extend WiFi range

[plucky hull]

actually its what allows you to change your fan profile

[clear canyon]

software that has little to no use and it slows your computer down for no reason

[plucky hull]

i have a laptop with it, that program lets u set it to silent/performance

[clear canyon]

I recommend looking up the definitions before saying things

[plucky hull]

ya i think your right

[clear canyon]

its suppose to be turned 90 degrees lmao

[plucky hull]

i mean, does it really matter tho

[ripe sable]

Do I need any of this two

[clear canyon]

yes

[plucky hull]

whats the difference?

[clear canyon]

you are sucking limited and hot air from the gpu when it should be getting fresh air coming from the front of the case

[wheat torrent]

Alright

[frigid blade]

I would

[clear canyon]

always update your pc

[plucky hull]

fair point 🤔

[frigid blade]

Microsoft Defender is important to update

And major pushes

[empty quartz]

Guess the car

[south arrow]

[plucky hull]

back to case fans, i was thinking about getting 2 140mm and putting them on the front, and moving that front fan to rear, decent idea?

[clear canyon]

all depends if your case supports that size, 140 tend to be quieter since they can push the same amount of air at a lower rpm

also depends on the exact fan too

[plucky hull]

ya thats why i was thinking about getting them over 120mm

[clear canyon]

also I would max out your fans if possible

[plucky hull]

the cheapest fan i could get is be quiet wing 3

[clear canyon]

those are decent

[plucky hull]

only have 2 headers rn,
also the max i could fit is
2 on the top
3 on front
1 rear (6 total)

but i only have 4 headers on the mb

[clear canyon]

you can buy hubs and splitters, 1 Y splitter per header

[mellow aspen]

I really like those cables! Where did you get those??

[ripe sable]

Does anyone know why is this failing

[clear canyon]

a Y splitter is fine as long as you dont have high wattage fans like the noctua IPPC industrial fans

[plucky hull]

amazon like 4-5 years ago, i planed on making a pc but never got around to it until now lol

[clear canyon]

take normal screens shots, stop sending awful pics of ur screen, also nothing says its failing on it

[mellow aspen]

Those are super cute, I gotta look into that.

[plucky hull]

a 3070 then was like $1600 so i figured it was NOT the best time to buy

[clear canyon]

@plucky hull you have a fan down here, you should bring it up to help cool the gpu

[plucky hull]

ya these are the fans i was looking at

[plucky hull]

thats needed for the ssds i have stuffed down there

[clear canyon]

they will be fine, ssd's do not get hot

not sata ssds

[plucky hull]

I'll fix it and make it better but like later

[clear canyon]

they dont need active cooling

[ripe sable]

Im on phone genius you can clearly se that on my pic

[clear canyon]

iphone != good, just take a normal screen shot

[plucky hull]

when u stack them they get pretty hot

[mellow aspen]

About 2 years ago I bought a pre-built with a 3060 in it and the whole rig was about $1,100? I was pretty satisfied with it and still am now.

The USB internet dongle that I used for it is going bad though, so my current project is trying to fit a wi-fi card in the spare PCIe port. The trouble is, I am not sure it’ll fit next to my GPU or cause some sort of issue with cooling, I’d hate to kill my card…

[clear canyon]

iv never had that issue

[languid anchor]

Hey can anyone help me install this AIO i don’t know why its not installing and its super frustrating

[plucky hull]

i use to have 6 of them stuffed into a box

[clear canyon]

what was their temps?

also, if they was hard drives, then they will 100% need active cooling lmao

[clear canyon]

there are yt videos on how to do so

[plucky hull]

ive seen them at like 50-60c

[clear canyon]

holy shit, thats awful

[empty quartz]

@clear canyon wanna see my datsun 710?

[clear canyon]

100%

[languid anchor]

I’ve tried to look at some but they all use intel and Im installing with AMD but the bracket won’t fit i don’t know what im doing wrong

[plucky hull]

thats how i use to have them

when i used a laptop

[clear canyon]

thats cool, love ths stickers

[mellow aspen]

salmon army ftw lmao

[empty quartz]

Ayyy, fellow bc resident

[clear canyon]

how is it not fitting, send a pic please

[languid anchor]

I got you 1 sec

[mellow aspen]

Oh no I just like the sticker lol

[empty quartz]

Do you know the brand tho?

[clear canyon]

thats a neat das you have there

[empty quartz]

Das?

[mellow aspen]

No what is it?

[plucky hull]

direct attached storage

[empty quartz]

:(

[clear canyon]

Direct attached storage

[plucky hull]

cuz its not network based

[clear canyon]

its a NAS but directly connected to a single computer

[clear canyon]

yep!

[empty quartz]

Wack

[plucky hull]

with epic giving out free games all the time i had to get more storage!

i had like 10tb of storage lol

[clear canyon]

its surprisingly common

I need more storage tbh

[ripe sable]

Anyone please help me why this says retry after hiting 100% also could I just okay without it?

[plucky hull]

sucks that it was limited to 1 usb so the speed was pretty slow

@clear canyon now the second thing i need to consider until my pc is "done" is if i should get a front panel or just a filter

[languid anchor]

This is the cpu and the bracket for it, the 2 black bars above the cpu clip into but they are too far apart, with intel you keep take it off but for amd you keep it on and latch it into the black boxes at the end of the bars but they don’t reach

[clear canyon]

thaty is quite a weird looking mount ngl, what AIO is this?

[rapid quarry]

There isnt a retry anywhere

[empty quartz]

Your ram is in the wrong slot

[ripe sable]

Yea it’s on 7% that’s why I retried to load it

[clear canyon]

go mesh front panel

[plucky hull]

wait, do you only have 1 stick of ram?

[clear canyon]

I didnt even pay attention to that XD

[empty quartz]

Its the 1st thing i noticed

[plucky hull]

its 40$ to get a front panel, and 8$ to get a magnetic filter

[clear canyon]

tbh tho, im doing like 5 different things at once lmao

i just finished doing an essay

now back to getting new anime shows 😄

anyone have good recommendations?

[plucky hull]

what have you seen already

[clear canyon]

this is the shows I have currently

some of them are bc friends of mine wanted to see them XD

[plucky hull]

i watched a few animes during covid

[clear canyon]

lmao

[plucky hull]

sonny boy is good

let me get a full list

[plucky hull]

this is everything you have seen right?

[clear canyon]

I just recently finished "The elusive samuri" thats one heavily underrated show. Everything from story and characters to the animation is great!

[clear canyon]

no its every anime I have in my media server rn. anime shows only

movies are in another category

[plucky hull]

ahh, wait these are things your gonna watch from?

[clear canyon]

I need to add the full FLCL franchise

[clear canyon]

there are several I havent watched yet, but im gonna soon

if you look at the pictures, they have a blue bubble with a number or checkmark, the numbers show how many unwatched ep are left, a checkmark means its all been watched

[plucky hull]

ah ic ok

[clear canyon]

sometimes jellyfin gets confused bc I go back and rewatch some animes

so the numbers go back up lmao

like frieren

im adding sonny boy rn 😄

[plucky hull]

i just finished watching devil may cry the other day, its pretty good
kamikatsu is just an animed shitpost and its really funny

[clear canyon]

[empty quartz]

[plucky hull]

drifters is another really good anime, im just sad it hasnt had more seasons

[clear canyon]

ill check it out in a sec 😄

[glad fog]

jellyfin is great. so much more simple than plex

plex has a ton of bloat, even the ui

[clear canyon]

and hardware acceleration\ is free

I have a 3060ti as my encoder gpu

[glad fog]

i thought i'd try it and no sign up required just runs locally. pretty good

Im trying to play THE FINALS in max settings, however i wanna hit the same fps as my monitor's refresh rate (165HZ) and i play on 1440p too, currently im hovering from 80fps to 120fps ingame depending on settings, there was a recent update which allows me to use DLSS 4 with transformer model with "performance" mode, personally it looks better than cnn's "Quality" mode for me

[plucky hull]

[clear canyon]

[clear canyon]

I have alot of gpus lmao

[golden sage]

The game looks really good, and DLAA makes it look so crisp and detailed, but if i enable DLAA im only gonna get like 80-70fps, and during huge fights its gonna drop more fps

can someone help me figure out what's wrong?

i updated windows and all drivers

[glad fog]

maybe your

your vpn provider has a data limit

[glad fog]

steam download server is far away

[clear canyon]

perhaps you're

[south sphinx]

Yeah probably, i was thinking the same

[meager abyss]

on steam i set the region to italy, rome (where i live)

he's saying he gets 300mbs on a vpn, but 40mb without?

[south sphinx]

Dont tell me you use wi fi for pc

[meager abyss]

300 when it's on, 40 when off

[clear canyon]

no? I didnt ask that

[meager abyss]

sorry, what were you asking?

[clear canyon]

I said your VPN is limiting your throughput

[plucky hull]

thoughts on this 1060 overclock?

[glad fog]

he just said he gets 300 when its on, 40 when he doesnt use a vpn

[meager abyss]

yes, but it's faster than with that

[plucky hull]

204751 Mhz!

[clear canyon]

idk what im looking at lmao

[clear canyon]

thats what im saying

[meager abyss]

this is a speed test i just ran

yeah tx is shielded

[plucky hull]

the only thing i have a slight excess of is stroage space, this is one of the hard drives i have lol

[meager abyss]

ookla speedtest = 2300Mbps
steam client = 40Mbps

ookla speedtest on vpn = 300Mbps
steam client on vpn = 300Mbps

[glad fog]

maybe try a different steam server

[clear canyon]

oh, you use windows for your network storage? or is this that DAS?

[glad fog]

something close but not the same server.

[south sphinx]

Frobbiden spaghetti

[clear canyon]

something is limiting throughput, idk what setip you have tho

[meager abyss]

still the same

[plucky hull]

i used windows dont have any network storage now that i have an actually desktop

[meager abyss]

fresh windows with the latest version of the drivers

[clear canyon]

if you want protected data, build a NAS with raid 😄

[clear canyon]

no I mean network wise

[plucky hull]

thats true, i should prob setup a raid setup

[meager abyss]

I have fiber, it goes up to 2400Mbps running on ethernet

[plucky hull]

rn ive got 8tb of active ssd storage

[meager abyss]

is that what you were asking?

yes but thats not the full setup lol

[clear canyon]

do you want my specs?

[plucky hull]

my ssds cost more than the rest of my entire computer 💀

You only need one, right? Lol

[clear canyon]

fair

[south sphinx]

Hmm depends

If its 2 cpu motherboard

there are switches that has duel 10gig that splits off into 2.5gig, I have one and its dope

[south sphinx]

Temu shipping free

[upbeat bison]

Hoping that shipping stays free/low

[plucky hull]

if u spend 10$ on aliexpress its free shipping

[tulip sparrow]

Just wondering on Elijah's 3month usage of the scorpian chair went

good bad meh?

[clear canyon]

they got rid of it a while ago

[tulip sparrow]

I am aware they sold it for very cheap a while ago

[clear canyon]

well they made a floatplane vid of it a while ago lol, so if u wanna see it, gotta fork up 5 bucks

[tulip sparrow]

but blame youtube for forcing members only videos down my feeds

[clear canyon]

lmao

[tulip sparrow]

examples

[clever burrow]

which is better spotify or apple music

[grizzled frost]

spotify

[clever burrow]

alr

[clever burrow]

i keep hearing abt lossless audio on apple music

but it prolly wouldnt matter with my apple wired

[grizzled frost]

do you have airpods 4 or airpods pro 2?

[clear canyon]

yt music

[clever burrow]

no airpods

the wired ones

[grizzled frost]

then you don't get to use lossless audio anyways

[clever burrow]

youtube pisses me off im not paying them nothing 💔

[grizzled frost]

exclusive to the airpods 4 and airpods pro 2

[clever burrow]

no i mean that apple music has lossless audio

not the earbuds

[grizzled frost]

okay?

not relevant to your decision in the slightest since you don't get to use it

[clever burrow]

theyre saying that apple music audio quality is better thats what i mean

[grizzled frost]

your earbuds are gonna be the weak point of your audio long before your streaming service is

especially given you can't use the one thing that makes apple music special

[agile stag]

^^

i use soundcloud and i have a fancy audio setup and they pair well

[grizzled frost]

apple earbuds are surprisingly good for their price, but they're also obscenely cheap, so it's a low bar

[agile stag]

they cant have enough bass for me but their features are neat

and assuming that they work fine then they work fine

[grizzled frost]

eh i'm not a huge fan of bass heavy stuff, i'd rather have better audio fidelity

[agile stag]

well you can have both

[grizzled frost]

it's also hard to complain too much about them given how cheap they are

[agile stag]

fair

[grizzled frost]

one of the best pairs of earbuds in the price bracket

[agile stag]

i dont know wireless stuff well grr

[grizzled frost]

airpods are actually really nice

i have a pair of airpods pro 2 and really love em, great audio quality

[agile stag]

i had a pair of pros but they had a battery issue so i couldnt really fully use them

but now i have beats fit pros and they work fine enough they feel the same as the airpods and they sound ok but theyre never gonna be my first choice for music

[grizzled frost]

i mostly only use one airpod at a time, so i just swap ears if they die

[agile stag]

that works

[grizzled frost]

they don't die that quick either, and they charge fast

[agile stag]

mmhm

[grizzled frost]

Easily one of the best pairs of wireless earbuds on the market

[agile stag]

the earbuds i use are uh cca cras theyre cheap but they do a really good job

[grizzled frost]

especially if you're already neck deep in the apple ecosystem like me

[agile stag]

they dont they do an ok job but they work well enough

[grizzled frost]

airpods pair so well with my mac and iphone

[agile stag]

mmhm fair yeah

my beats auto pair to my phone which is nice but i dont know if i have menus for all the features but either way i havent checked

[grizzled frost]

i also like that i can use my airpods as earing protection

nice when i'm working in a theater shop

[latent gull]

Are they approved as hearing protection?

[jovial swan]

How good would this laptop here be for semi-retro games (old games on dvd or whatever, i like to pick em up but have no way of playing)
Dell vostro 3350
I5-2450M
4 GB Ram
256 Gb SSD
1600x900 display
Thing im most concerned about is the gpu, Radeon 7400M series (dunno what one, other than on the listing it says 512 MB)

[stark quail]

I'm completely cooked, my pc fans do not spin

[clear canyon]

minimum gpu I recommend is a 5090

[stark quail]

I changed my pc fans and they don't spin 😭

[clear canyon]

did you hook them up correctly?

[plush fern]

I got a new GPU (3070 to 4070super) and it’s not turning on, any help please??

[clear canyon]

and what fans

[gleaming rose]

:3

[clear canyon]

is the gpu plugged in correctly? did you install all the pcie power cables in? is the display port or hdmi in the gpu?

[stark quail]

Ive connected then to my motherboard fan headers and my cases fan hub and they still don't work

[clear canyon]

:3^2

[stark quail]

Idk what the issue is

[clear canyon]

what are the fans

[stark quail]

My new ones I bought and my old ones

[plush fern]

I’m using the adapter it comes with, I’m pretty sure it’s in here good. And yes I’ve tried with and without the displays connected

[clear canyon]

um, try increasing the % of the fan to see if they require more power

[stark quail]

Sorry, what do you mean by increasing the %

The fans don't spin

[clear canyon]

is ALL the pcie 8pin cables connected to the adapter, bc you cannot be missing one

[clear canyon]

fan %, like increase the fan speed to 55% of what it can do

[stark quail]

But it isn't spinning in general

[clear canyon]

I have server fans that wont work unless you have their % at 55%

[stark quail]

I guess I could try it

[peak knot]

My ROG Ally is finally back from repairs, and i immediately added more stickers to the inside

[haughty thistle]

What does fb mean in gigabyte?

[lethal bay]

[peak knot]

I also instantly redid all my mods

[lethal bay]

What did you have to have repaired again?

[haughty thistle]

No it’s a bios

But idk what type of bios fb is

On gigabyte website

[peak knot]

But I added a ton of kapton tape to the inside to ensure it’s insulated just in case

[peak knot]

The vrm detonated because my baseus power bank failed

[latent pasture]

flashback?

[elfin kindle]

Guys will a laptop with a i5 6th gen cpu run roblox stuido and just like web browsing?

[lethal bay]

[plush fern]

[haughty thistle]

Idk im trying to do my bios since im building a rig with ryzen 7 5700x3d but idk what fb is on the website

[plush fern]

It’s a 650w I mean is that ok???

[haughty thistle]

Because there’s f10 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18

[lethal bay]

Use whatever’s listed as latest, you’re overthinking it

[latent pasture]

[clear canyon]

thats fine

[peak knot]

That’s just bios revisions for them
