[frigid blade]

2 on my ram sticks are missing the heat spreader, gonna be a janky build, I have to fit 20 HDDs in the case too

[abstract wigeon]

i just dont like rgb, all my fans are black and i disabled my gpu rgb

[ebon marlin]

There is no anime about Miku

[ebon marlin]

I like white rgb since it illuminates my room when it's dark

so I'm not sitting in complete darkness

[frigid blade]

Isn’t that what the monitor is for

[clear canyon]

she is literally designed like every other anime girl, and she has been in anime before

[bronze jay]

So when booting into a hard drive it really didn't feel like a big deal even though my main drive is a Samsung 990 pro. It was like, kind of slow, but fine

[ebon marlin]

been in anime as cameos only and is only illustrated in anime style since she originates from Japan

[clear canyon]

why are u booting on a hard drive in 2025

[frigid blade]

On newer drives that are fast it’s not bad, but when people are buying old refurb drives, it can feel pretty bad

[ebon marlin]

Miku is not anime she is only illustrated in anime style because of her place of origin

[bronze jay]

Testing my backup

[clear canyon]

yes, so she has the anime girl design

[bronze jay]

I made a bit for bit clone with clonezilla

[ebon marlin]

3070 Ti is shite

[rancid moth]

fr?

[ebon marlin]

try to avoid 8gb gpu's

[clear canyon]

not a bad price

[ebon marlin]

8gb will suffer with newer games

[frigid blade]

No the 3070Ti is fine

[bronze jay]

7200rpm and 256mb cache probably helps

[frigid blade]

I’ve never had issues gaming on it

[ebon marlin]

it's an awful price

[rancid moth]

i wont rlly play neew games prolly

[clear canyon]

how?

[rancid moth]

u havent seen latvian prices

[elfin gulch]

its a good gpu still, i'm gonna go from a 1080ti to a 3070 here soon

[bronze jay]

If someone took away my SSD and said you have to use this hard drive for 5 years I'd say ugh whatever

[ebon marlin]

3070 TI goes for 300-350€, 5600x for 80€ and rest of the pc is just cheap parts except psu which is pretty nice

[clear canyon]

if I was you, i wouldnt

[elfin gulch]

for 250 USD though, why not

[bronze jay]

But slowness adds up, like death by 1000 cuts. I only used it for like 5 minutes

[clear canyon]

not a very big peformance jump

[ebon marlin]

back when I had a 3070 I was running out of vram in fucking call of duty cold war 😭

[frigid blade]

I actually paid for a 3070 and got the 3070Ti so maybe it’s a bias but I never had issues with it

[elfin gulch]

about 30%

[abstract wigeon]

rah

[clear canyon]

I would go 3080 or 4070 super tbh

[frigid blade]

1 fan

[abstract wigeon]

gpu looks tiny by todays standards

[clear canyon]

is that a 3060?

[abstract wigeon]

3070

[bronze jay]

It's pretty

[clear canyon]

ah, nice

[elfin gulch]

4070 super is about 1k thats a bit too much

[bronze jay]

Like a really nice Minecraft house

[bronze jay]

I like it a lot

[clear canyon]

1k? really?

[elfin gulch]

last i checked yea

[abstract wigeon]

found putting 2 on top had no difference if not slightly worse temps

[plush wren]

5600 💔

[clear canyon]

just looked on ebay, they are double their price basically, wth

[frigid blade]

I said that yesterday when we were arguing between 6900xt and 4070TS

[elfin gulch]

i found some at 800 but idk how good they are

[ebon marlin]

shit

[abstract wigeon]

not bad, can always put a 5700x3d in later down the line

[ebon marlin]

just build your own pc with used pc parts you'll save lots of money

[clear canyon]

3080's are not too bad

[bronze jay]

I went for function and expandability. That includes the side panel. There are indicator lights in there

[plush wren]

7600 performance for like 250€

[elfin gulch]

raaaa floor pc

[bronze jay]

Wym

[frigid blade]

Thats on a table

[abstract wigeon]

but the platform is cheaper in total, ddr4 cheaper and mobo cheaper

[clear canyon]

we cant see anything

[elfin gulch]

only lose 1gb of vram and its not that expensive, should i do newegg or ebay

[frigid blade]

I see a fan in the reflection that’s it

[plush wren]

sure but there are still cheap am5 motherboards

[clear canyon]

ebay for me offers the best deals for them

[elfin gulch]

let me take a look on mine

[frigid blade]

What’s cheap to you @abstract wigeon?

[frigid blade]

For a mobo

[clear canyon]

woah, that gpu is thin af, what is it

[elfin gulch]

yea about the same as yours

[abstract wigeon]

yeah definitely, im just saying overall am4 can be a much cheaper platform especially when you buy second hand

[ebon marlin]

shit

[bronze jay]

Power switch for my backup drive

[rancid moth]

what exactly

[elfin gulch]

sandwich gpu much

[frigid blade]

Everything is much cheaper second hand

[abstract wigeon]

im on am5 though because i like how long its supported

[clear canyon]

what?

[bronze jay]

I have a physical button to disconnect SATA power from my backup drive

[ebon marlin]

@rancid moth build your own pc with used pc parts you'll be able to get much better performance by doing that

[abstract wigeon]

exactly, but since am5 is a lot newer, the margin is a lot smaller between new and second hand

[clear canyon]

i asked what the gpu was bc its so thin lol

[frigid blade]

@bronze jay he’s not talking about the x4 card

[bronze jay]

Oh ok

MSI ventus 4070 oc

[ebon marlin]

I did this few years ago and I was able to build a 5800x3d + 6950xt pc for 1.1k euros with a brand new 6950xt

[clear canyon]

i did say gpu

[frigid blade]

Wow that is thin

[ebon marlin]

rn I'm using a 5800x3d + 6800xt pc which was like 800€

[bronze jay]

I thought you were just misunderstanding what you were looking at

[clear canyon]

no?

[bronze jay]

Whatever it doesn't matter

[clear canyon]

all non-gpu cards is normally 1 slot cards

[bronze jay]

I thought my card was just a normal thickness

Is it a bad thing?

[frigid blade]

It’s pretty thin for a newer generation card

But maybe 4070s are 2 height?

[bronze jay]

It doesn't overheat

I think the open design of the fins helps

I have 4 intake fans and 3 exhaust fans

Maintaining positive pressure keeps dust out of the cracks

And there's plenty of room for the extra pressure to vent out

[frigid blade]

I never even think about airflow, my first build I just stuck fans in it wherever 😂

And it worked pretty well until it didn’t

[bronze jay]

Lol

[plush wren]

[frigid blade]

Had to figure out why it was running 96C idle

Or something like that

Part of it was dust tho

[bronze jay]

This was mine until I overhauled it into what it is now

[frigid blade]

Oh not idle, while I was testing war thunder

[bronze jay]

And before that it was an HP pavilion

[frigid blade]

Hahaha, the tape

[bronze jay]

I never fully replaced it. I just replace parts over time

[frigid blade]

I love it

[abstract wigeon]

fan looks like its worth as much as the rest of the system

[clear canyon]

ay, is that an noctua ippc industrial fan?

[bronze jay]

It had a closed side panel so it didn't matter

[tidal grove]

How to upgrade pc storage if i dont have anymore m.2 slots? And is there any software to test how good my ram is ?? Virus free software..

[bronze jay]

It's an industrial motherboard

[abstract wigeon]

oh yeah no actually looks pretty neat

[clear canyon]

I run those in my ai server

[frigid blade]

What are they?

[clear canyon]

what part

[frigid blade]

The GPUs

[clear canyon]

3090 and 3060ti

[elder quarry]

oh yeah that cute little ssd heatsink

[frigid blade]

Wow those are chunky

[clear canyon]

3090 is very chunky lmao

[frigid blade]

Well, the 3090 at least by the looks

[elder quarry]

why do you have an ai server?

[clear canyon]

bc I do my own ai training lmao

[frigid blade]

Maybe he wants ai friends to talk to

[plain cypress]

Cause he enjoys being cringe

[bronze jay]

I chose it because of the amount of USB ports. It's the same reason I chose my MSI meg x570s ace max

[elder quarry]

but why

[bronze jay]

Also it had a lot of connectivity

[clear canyon]

what?

bc I do my own ai training

[elder quarry]

what are you using the AI for?

[frigid blade]

6 SATA ports, I like it

[bronze jay]

I still miss it sometimes. It was an awesome board. It even had a pci slot without compromising on pcie

[elder quarry]

are you actually using ai for things

[clear canyon]

training? remeber I have a project im working on, that twitch chat ai

[ebon marlin]

isn't 6 like little

[bronze jay]

And 2 USB 3.0 internal connectors

[plain cypress]

Idk why but seeing board renders without a socket cover makes me cringe a little

[elder quarry]

OHHH, I see, cool

[frigid blade]

On modern boards? It’s more like 4

[clear canyon]

lol

[frigid blade]

They go higher as price increases though

[bronze jay]

It's because the socket is exposed and vulnerable to dust and physical damage

[ebon marlin]

well that seems to be an old board

[plain cypress]

Yeah but on a render it doesn't matter, however still makes me cringe

[frigid blade]

That’s why I’m saying, I like it because it has 6 unlike modern boards

[tidal grove]

Does anyone know?

[elder quarry]

SATA, memtest

[tidal grove]

And whats the best aio cooler for a ryzen 7 7700 (budget is 100-120$)

[bronze jay]

What I loved so much about that board was that it was forward thinking and yet backwards compatible

[frigid blade]

You can upgrade the m.2 you’re using to more space, you probably have SATA ports for hard drives

[plain cypress]

1. bigger drives, sata drives, PCIe x4 to m.2 adapter
2. OCCT I think
3. the fuck?

[neat flame]

does anyone know how to disable this on youtube

i dont want the goofy ai dubbing

[frigid blade]

In the settings

[neat flame]

where

[bronze jay]

Why do motherboards need 14 SATA ports if they aren't server racks? Do people actually use that many?

[tidal grove]

Pardon ? Didn't understand no5

[clear canyon]

yeah I had a video that I saw have that, its so bad

[neat flame]

ikr and you cant even turn it off, its so frustrating

[frigid blade]

Nevermind I googled it, you can’t change it yet

[plain cypress]

Did you download malware that claimed to test your ram?

[bronze jay]

I use 3. One for my backup drive, 1 for my 3.5 inch hotswap bay, and 1 for my 2.5 inch hotswap bay

[neat flame]

[plain cypress]

Are there consumer boards with that many SATA ports?

[frigid blade]

But it was a forum from 2 years ago, maybe if you search around settings?

[clear canyon]

I hate that everything is forcing ai

[bronze jay]

Because I'm too stupid to disassemble the computer and keep track of screws and worry about plugging and unplugging cables, like a normal person

[neat flame]

idk i cant find it

[plain cypress]

I can understand manufacturers making some boards with very specific features/use case, but the standard board is 4-6 SATA ports these days

[frigid blade]

Did you check the closed caption settings, maybe they put it in there

[rigid fjord]

testmem5/occt are good options for memory testing, as for storage, you can get sata 2.5 ssd's

[plain cypress]

My board has 8 SATA ports and 4 m.2 slots

[bronze jay]

I never actually had to replace the bay. It just started working

[neat flame]

nah it isnt there i checked

[frigid blade]

how many x16 slots does it have and what modes?

[bronze jay]

But I might replace it if I can't find a clean way to replace the damaged USB port in the front

[tidal geyser]

i think sometimes even 2

[bronze jay]

I don't need it but it's insulting to the computer.

[frigid blade]

On mini ATX boards I see that a lot

[rigid fjord]

games on nvme drives don't run faster than those on sata 2.5 ssd's as it is @tidal grove

[tidal geyser]

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#s=41&K=0,2

[bronze jay]

What if I just anchored the new ports with a bunch of epoxy

[rancid moth]

https://www.ss.lv/msg/lv/electronics/computers/pc/fpmpo.html
is this good?

[frigid blade]

mini ITX*

[tidal geyser]

600w for a 6800 xt hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[rigid fjord]

remove and replace basically

[rancid moth]

shit?

[bronze jay]

How

[rigid fjord]

due to the transient it can have, it's not a good idea @rancid moth

[bronze jay]

How to I make sure they line up

[rigid fjord]

soldering iron

[bronze jay]

Transient?

I can replace the drive bay. I use don't like throwing away things I can fix

[rigid fjord]

those ports are not smd, they're pass through pins, means it's easier for you to solder when needs be

[true sequoia]

The PP11 600W should be fine with a 6800XT, but it would be ideal to upgrade

[bronze jay]

I'm going to take it out, disassemble, and send more pictures. Hang on

I'm comfortable with small electronics, this isn't the first time

[tidal grove]

I have a gen3 m.2 rn but i need more storage to store photos,phone backups,maybe game files etc.
So i should get a (example) sata 2.5inch drive ?

[rigid fjord]

if it's usb 1.1/2.0 it's only 4 pins. if usb 3/3.1/3.2 it's 9 pins

[bronze jay]

I need to re-cut the threads in the mounting holes anyway. I messed them up

[rigid fjord]

sata 2.5 ssd for sure for the games. as for pic's and backups, those can easily go on a hdd

[tidal grove]

Hdd and 2.5's are same price here (only 2-3$ difference)

[bronze jay]

What the fuck why

[rigid fjord]

a 4tb hdd is not the same price as a 4tb ssd

[clear canyon]

so many drives lol, how come you didnt just raid them all togather?

[azure topaz]

various sizes

but yeah setup a nas

[azure topaz]

wait he has a network location

[bronze jay]

They aren't even that big

[azure topaz]

this guy has like 8 drives in 1 rig and a nas

[bronze jay]

You could brute force it with one big drive

[clear canyon]

a stripe would be fine for nonimportant data

[bronze jay]

You have like 6 500 gigabyte drives

[tidal grove]

That way i can have my m.2 as main drive and use the sata to store stuff ?

And lets say i bought a 128gb sata 2.5 and installed linux distros like the ones on steam deck.Is there any way like i can use 2 operating systems on the same pc ? Main m.2 has windows 11 on it.

[tidal grove]

Well here in Bangladesh,yes

[rigid fjord]

games are not going on a nas that's for sure, and my OS is always separate from anything else

[azure topaz]

no games on nas? why not

smh with 10 gig it’s not bad

[tidal grove]

Did i think bullshit or is that a thing ?

[clear canyon]

I have games on my NAS

not alot, but some

[azure topaz]

when i used my nas for games i had 1 gbps and it is surprisingly not the worst

[clear canyon]

im on 10gig

[rigid fjord]

nas is only for storing pics, backups and vids in my case

[azure topaz]

most games were fine

[wet ember]

does anyone know how i can get word and excel onto my pc? i've already got it with my university but...

[clear canyon]

thats fair

[azure topaz]

slay

10g is faster than even a sata drive so i have no doubts that it’s fine on it

[tidal grove]

Chat

[azure topaz]

you just said the second half of the sentence where’s the first

what are you even asking

[clear canyon]

my nas has a duel 10gig card, I use 1 for direct connecting for my main pc and the other goes to a switch that allows 10gig to be split into 2.5gig connections

[rigid fjord]

i have 1 4tb hdd partitioned as 4 drives for a specific reason tbh

[elder quarry]

I wanna listen to one of these, where can you find them

[random gyro]

💀💀💀

[rigid fjord]

yes anyone can do this

[clear canyon]

why did u split a single drive into 4 parts?

[plain cypress]

2x x16 gen 5 from CPU (x16/0 and x8/x8 modes)
1x x16 from chipset (3.0 x4 mode)
1x m.2 4.0 X4 from CPU
3x m.2 4.0 X4 from chipset
8x SATA I forget how many from CPU and or chipset, but I believe 2 sata ports are switched with a m.2 slot

[rigid fjord]

it's what's holding vids, pics, music and downloads

i have it set up so window's own library will transfer/recognise them as their own drives and not to touch my os drive

[elder quarry]

use linux and you could easily mount it to /home/rauko/Pictures and so on

[tired bear]

You can provision iscsi share and it acts exactly like internal drives

[rigid fjord]

then either the hdd's are extortionately overpriced or you have a ton of fake ssd's on the market where you are

[plain cypress]

Is it really that few these days

[rigid fjord]

no good for multiple games i've played tbh

[elder quarry]

huh?

[rigid fjord]

if it's one of the low end super basic boards, yeah it can be

[rigid fjord]

many of them are windows only, so no linux

[plain cypress]

I guess I've never looked at low end boards

[elder quarry]

sadge

[bronze jay]

@rigid fjord

I think I have to replace the whole part

[plain cypress]

My first board only has 2x SATA but it is mini ITX

[rigid fjord]

it would also take me a fair few years before i'd be comfortable with running linux properly tbf

[azure topaz]

yes

[elder quarry]

no

[azure topaz]

…yes

[plain cypress]

Oh there's more side mounted sata

[elder quarry]

...no

[bronze jay]

Yes

[azure topaz]

how in the world do you know my own brain

[bronze jay]

No

[plain cypress]

6x SATA and 2x SATA Express

[rigid fjord]

fully replacable then, no different for the dual port ones on pcie brackets you can get for the rear of the case

[plain cypress]

NGL I still don't know what SATA Express is

[ripe spire]

i got a bday coming up next month, any ideas for me? 😭

[bronze jay]

My problem is the spacing. Is it standard?

[azure topaz]

useless. it’s sata with some pcie chucked in like it sounds

[bronze jay]

It's a $50 Bay. If I can avoid buying a whole new one that would be great

[azure topaz]

i’m almost positive not a single person in this server can say they’ve used a sata express device

because they hardly existed and it was a stupid standard

[bronze jay]

I can't see any kind of part number

[plain cypress]

So it is nothing like a Pizza Hut Express

[azure topaz]

absolutely nothing correct yes

[bronze jay]

I can measure the space in between the ports I guess

[rigid fjord]

roughly standard, the difference is cable length afaik

[bronze jay]

I'll figure out the stupid cable length

[tired bear]

You are wrong, i used it

[bronze jay]

What do I search for

[azure topaz]

oh now you must enlighten me on its usefulness

[bronze jay]

USB ports? USB module?

[azure topaz]

“i plugged in a sata hub”

[tired bear]

None, m.2 is superior

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JQ726J8/ something like this

[azure topaz]

https://youtu.be/yVHB1MnP3sI?si=ZdnWQYuqtQBZpjOj

[azure topaz]

why not just get a pcie card?

or has this been already talked through

[bronze jay]

I should be able to plug in anything I want

[rigid fjord]

replacing part of what's already there instead of adding it to the rear

[azure topaz]

eh okay slay

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQ0HAWQ/ found this also

[strange atlas]

Please somebody help me when i put the word file in another computer it all f's up i really need to fix this please help

[bronze jay]

I'll have to take more parts out until I can get the plastic panel off

Then I can drill pilot holes and use the old mounting holes

[rigid fjord]

you wouldn't with the one i first linked there

[bronze jay]

That bolts to the front

I might get that one and cut it

[azure topaz]

i wish i could see the temperature of the memory chips on my dimms

instead of just the spd hub

because i do not have a thermal pad on the hub

[rigid fjord]

yeah. though if you try to mod it as it's a sealed unit, you may damage a cable internally if you try to make it use the original mounting of the original device

[bronze jay]

They're so far apart, as long as I center it properly, there's no reason that should happen

[strange atlas]

Please i need this really urgently a help would be really nice

[rigid fjord]

you can't say that when they're sealed like this

[bronze jay]

I got it out

Oh shit you're right

There's no space for those mounting bolts

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093LD9PHB as individuals, you could make a clap for

[bronze jay]

May try that

It's so robust

[rigid fjord]

some that are in a 3.5" adapter tray can be modified if you look at the pcb they're mounted on

[iron glen]

hi rauko

[rigid fjord]

sup dude

[bronze jay]

The spring mechanism on the 3.5 inch door appears to not be working, and that's concerning because I only disassembled the front

[rigid fjord]

pic from the second one i linked

[bronze jay]

Hmmm

I'll take a closer look

[iron glen]

resembling this picture rn, trying to explain to my friend that the paraolympics arent just "wheelchair races"

[rigid fjord]

i'd be halfway to defenestrating them tbh

[iron glen]

the urge to throw a brick at his window is growing

[latent gull]

Tbf, that is like all that gets publicized

[bronze jay]

Maybe the spring for the larger door was inside me all along, because I don't see anything wrong with the mechanism

[rigid fjord]

from this image i can tell that it's the ground for the shield is what's holding it to the pcb on that image

[bronze jay]

And there are tilted pieces of metal for pushing the front drive out

[iron glen]

the sprint or whatever they do?
are they considered sprints?

[latent gull]

…?

[iron glen]

oh you werent talking to me my bad

[latent gull]

No i was

[iron glen]

oh

[latent gull]

I just didn’t know what you were asking

Also, your friends an idiot, it’s not just races. They also do wheelchair basketball

[peak knot]

Just got a logic analyzer as a gift can’t wait to try it out

[bronze jay]

Father, what is your opinion of desktop macs

[raw trout]

I think macs are the the grandpa of the Google pixel and microsoft surface

In my opinion

[strange atlas]

Please help page moves up when i save it in pdf form or docx form

[raw trout]

It's hardware and software being bespoke

[bronze jay]

I think they're a psyop and a scam

[raw trout]

Being designed to fit

[bronze jay]

The same doesn't go for laptops

[raw trout]

Presicely

[bronze jay]

But the upgrade cost in the desktops is an insult to consumers

[raw trout]

However I wish we had a imac or a macbook lite

The body is hard plastic but not soft enough to crumble or damage the motherboard

[rigid fjord]

not for us in the uk, we get to see it all tbh

[bronze jay]

I don't judge people for buying MacBooks but I do judge them for buying Mac desktops if they used anything but my base configuration

[raw trout]

The os was heavily optimised and had low specs but still ran good

[bronze jay]

I'm sorry, you paid $300 for an extra 1tb of storage, I don't respect your decision

[raw trout]

And of Co cheap

30 k rupees for a memory expansion is insane

You could do it at home for 150 dollars

[clear canyon]

is 30k alot?

[raw trout]

You can buy a whole laptop

[bronze jay]

I don't understand rupees what's that in shotgun hamburger eagles

[raw trout]

And still play tf2 on it

[gloomy sleet]

266 pounds

or 348 dollars (us)

[raw trout]

I have a 30k laptop plays tf2. Moderately good on fydeos

[bronze jay]

348 shotgun hamburger eagles for how much memory and what kind

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

£250 laptop can run tf2 easily

[raw trout]

Hp random ahhh sony branding with 8gigs of ram and a 2.5 ghz intel 7th gen core i3 from 2018 I have it

[gilded sparrow]

i finished my upgrades to cooling

[bronze jay]

Local child gets absolutely destroyed with facts and logic

[gilded sparrow]

Before and after

[raw trout]

Slap the largest fans on earth on the cpu heatsink and make the fans put air towards the board and if you put it on a test bench it will grow legs and go to the other side of the room after updating the bios but you can do it only once cuz it will damage your motherboard and potentially your graphics card

[tidal geyser]

there was cooling issues??

[raw trout]

Also I have huge respect for the people who work on xbox

I had to take apart completely my xbox one original to replace the thermal paste.

[gilded sparrow]

No i had a giftcard and plan on upgrading my cpu so i bought this with intentions for a better cpu so future proofing also looks cool

[raw trout]

Which socket?

[tidal geyser]

so you were getting a 9950X?

[raw trout]

Lga or am

[tidal geyser]

even then you would only lose like 10% of your performance max

[raw trout]

Am5?

[gilded sparrow]

9800x3d

[tidal geyser]

you can tell its a b650 eagle ax

[raw trout]

Sorry I don't speak mothwrboard

[tidal geyser]

uuuhhhhmmmmm that cooler would be WAY WAY more then fine

[tidal geyser]

its am5

[quasi path]

can someone make sure im understanding my total amp capacity correctly; i have 2 pcs connected to an extension cable one with a 750w psu and one with an 850w psu (totaling 1600) divided by the volt rating on the plugs (both 250) means that im currently only using 6.4amps?

[gilded sparrow]

yeah good mobo ill give you my specs

[raw trout]

I don't have plans on getting a pc so I don't see the market

[tidal geyser]

there was zero reason to change case or cooler

[raw trout]

It means your electricity bill will be high

[tidal geyser]

better ram or storage would do way more things

[gilded sparrow]

look i had $50 to kill a aio didn't seem like a bad idea my case and it also adds to the astectics

[tidal geyser]

storage?

[gilded sparrow]

$50 isnt enough for ram and i have plenty of storage

[elder quarry]

that's intel

[gilded sparrow]

2tv

[tidal geyser]

more storage

[raw trout]

I think ram is better cuz you can get more space by compressing windows

[ebon marlin]

cables are melting now on 5070's nice

[tidal geyser]

skill issue

[gleaming rose]

lmao

[gilded sparrow]

ive barely filled 1 ssd

[raw trout]

Real chads use a gfci outlet to prevent fire

[ebon marlin]

and it happened on a good psu too

[glad fog]

i mean it's no secret that Nvidia's power connectors are pieces of shit

[gilded sparrow]

and now ik saving for my next upgrade

[tidal geyser]

in a few months that will not be the case

[raw trout]

We have solution

[bronze jay]

What a fucking mess. I shouldn't be relieved to be one generation behind

[gilded sparrow]

then i will throw in my old sata 510 gb ssd

ram and psu is next in my upgrade list

[rancid moth]

is ryzen 5 8400f good ?

[raw trout]

Direct to the wall

[gilded sparrow]

NO

[rancid moth]

why

[tidal geyser]

get a 7500f from aliexpress

[raw trout]

Ryzen good but timing issues might occur

[tidal geyser]

no

[raw trout]

I think it's resolved idk

[gilded sparrow]

7500f u dont need a apu like the 8000 series aernt meant for gaming

[tidal geyser]

performance like a r5 5600 and less pcie lanes

[raw trout]

How to potentially short your mobo

[gilded sparrow]

no?

[tidal geyser]

what??????

[gleaming rose]

is 7500f meta rn?

[gilded sparrow]

There only on AliExpress because there not retail cpu?

[raw trout]

In my opinion i think 60 percent of AliExpress items are a scam

[tidal geyser]

no this is meta https://meta.com/

[gleaming rose]

your opinion is wrong

[raw trout]

People just get lucky with there stuff

[tidal geyser]

you cant be

[gleaming rose]

the items that are scams are covered by aliexpress support so there are very little scams because they dont work

[ebon marlin]

your opinion is wrong

[raw trout]

K I will work on redoing that

[tidal geyser]

you kinda have to chose to be scammed to be able to be scammed on ali

[ebon marlin]

aliexpress has also very strong buyer protection if you do get somehow scammed

[gleaming rose]

ive only had two issues with anything ordered on alix and they were both resolved and refunded within the hour

[gilded sparrow]

bro gigabyte bios sucks

[tidal geyser]

i waited a month for a 5v 5amp psu for some LED lights i wanted to run but i chose 230v for the psu but noooo i got 110v

ofc got a refund

but you know my time was wasted

[raw trout]

I agree like why no bios recovery button

[gilded sparrow]

uh?

[raw trout]

Yah

[tidal geyser]

eh?????????

[gilded sparrow]

what

[tidal geyser]

do they even make a am5 board without it

[gilded sparrow]

like a physical button ?

[raw trout]

The starter board didn't have it when I checked amazon

[gleaming rose]

everything i order arrives in exactly a week

[raw trout]

Im talking am and lga

[gleaming rose]

if not less

[tidal geyser]

NO YOU FKN NUB

[raw trout]

Yeah physical on the back like the asus and asrok

[rancid moth]

can any1 make me a build for 900 euros on lat ian websites?

[gilded sparrow]

@tidal geyser is he talking about the physical button on the board to flash it back

[tidal geyser]

EVERY single am5 board i can see from gigabyte has qflash

[tidal geyser]

[tidal geyser]

i say it yet again i do not believe gigabyte has a SINGLE am5 motherboard that is missing the button on am5

[raw trout]

Where is the bios recovery button

[gilded sparrow]

THAT IS IT

[elder quarry]

good luck with your 230V AC

[tidal geyser]

ok so find me one

[gilded sparrow]

I was taking about both bro

[tidal geyser]

WHYYYYYYYY

[azure topaz]

most am4 boards have flashback. if yours doesn’t it cheap.

[tidal geyser]

eh

[gilded sparrow]

we were on the context of my board b650 eagle ax THATS AM5

[tidal geyser]

not really, keep in mind am4 is also OLD

[raw trout]

Spot the button win nothing don't worry u won't win

[tidal geyser]

i also said every single time am5

[azure topaz]

well yes but any of the more modern b450 and b550 have it

not that it really needs it but

[raw trout]

Bro that is freaking am5

[tidal geyser]

first of all am4 and then that is one of THE cheapest boards you can get

[raw trout]

There are pins

[tidal geyser]

and yes yes, but i have had clients with it that have issues

[raw trout]

Guys

[gilded sparrow]

li use a 6600 im gonna go to the 9070xt later this year as soon as prices drop or smth but seeing as tho im American probably not gonna happen anytime soon

[tidal geyser]

i think its fine now

[azure topaz]

anything pre rx 6000 to me is pretty much an immediate no on the amd side imma be real

[ebon marlin]

q-flash button on top right yummers

[tidal geyser]

yeah unless i get a GOOD deal on one rx 6000+ all the way

[obsidian urchin]

rx5700xt?

[azure topaz]

yea

[latent gull]

What’s the budget single slit card they have that everyone was buying?

[azure topaz]

slit?

[latent gull]

Slot

[azure topaz]

you mean the 6400?

[latent gull]

No, gimme a sec

[azure topaz]

or is it the 6500xt thats also single slot

[obsidian urchin]

i dont think everyone was buying that 😭

[azure topaz]

6400 is a popular card among sff youtubers

[gilded sparrow]

i think 6500 i think the rx 6600 isnt dual only

[raw trout]

Sexy qhh mobo when I'm older and rich ur mine

[azure topaz]

like eta prime or whatever

[ebon marlin]

is it that rtx a2000 card thingy'

[azure topaz]

yeah maybe im tweakin idk

[ebon marlin]

rtx 3050 perf at sff

[gilded sparrow]

u have the budget dont buy gigabyte

[latent gull]

What about the rx580, weren’t people buying that in place of 3050s?

[tidal geyser]

has tensor core so it does have rt sooo its still good enough for some stuff

[raw trout]

Guys where do your find these mobos?

[azure topaz]

ebay

[obsidian urchin]

i mean one of those is much cheaper than the other

[azure topaz]

i got my like 400$ msrp board for like 150$ bux

[tidal geyser]

rx 6400 is still a ok card for some use cases

[raw trout]

Are there.a onlypc website?

[azure topaz]

i would never

[obsidian urchin]

the main competitor wouldve been the rx6600

to the rtcx3050 that is

[azure topaz]

assuming i have the money for a 3050 i wwould always pick a 3050

[gilded sparrow]

controveraial opinion if you can't buy used then the RX 580 is still a good buy for really low budgets and you have no other option

[azure topaz]

the rx 580 is fine as a 30$ temporary card

[latent gull]

No idea, I don’t keep up with peasant tier GPUs

[azure topaz]

but if you pay any more than that you got scammed lol

[oblique jay]

Can u buy a part kit for a case? My mate got a 4000d airflow for free but missing psu screws and other screws

[obsidian urchin]

5700xts used go for under100

[azure topaz]

email corsair support really nicely

[obsidian urchin]

if yknow where to look

[azure topaz]

no i dont want taht bullshit if youre gonna say that show me

where are they 100$

[arctic tapir]

Another mouse in the collection

[obsidian urchin]

oh no not 100 dollars

[gilded sparrow]

corsair is really good with customer support i think if u break the galss they also send u a replacement free?

[obsidian urchin]

I didnt say currency soz

[oblique jay]

Can give it a go, they gave me 2 braided gpu cables for free cos I was too broke to get them

[obsidian urchin]

£100

which is like 110-130 dollars id like to say?

[azure topaz]

if you snipe a decent deal off ebay yeah just about

usually theyre higher than 100

[obsidian urchin]

in general our market is more expensive

[gilded sparrow]

idk i use a really good sama case tgats good for the price

[obsidian urchin]

mine was £90 from fb marketplace

[obsidian urchin]

fb marketplace is my queen

[azure topaz]

yea

commonly theyre quite a bit more though

[raw trout]

Can someone name mobos with brushed aluminum

[ebon marlin]

Pal is a redditor 😭

[gilded sparrow]

google is qlso good for it

[raw trout]

Oneplus 10 more features

More support

Good

Don't want problems the long way choose samsung

[blissful rampart]

i was thinking of the 10 pro but it is the 'weakest' of them all ..

[raw trout]

Forget about xiaomi in my 4 years of experience the os is trash

[ebon marlin]

The os is good it just lacks google services

[raw trout]

You choosing a oneplus your. Welcome to the gang I have a really weak phone the 9rt

[blissful rampart]

currently running a xiaomi with hyperos and it seems okay to me

[raw trout]

I. Talking about the non flagships and i said my experience I have never used a flagship in my life

[gilded sparrow]

im gonna try to find my original planned build so yal can laugh at me rq

[raw trout]

And i stopped using that phone on 2019

[ebon marlin]

I have a Oneplus 12R myself and if I had to choose a phone from the 3 I'd probably choose the S22 Ultra

[raw trout]

You can laugh at me right now

[ebon marlin]

Oneplus devices are good but their software is lacking

[raw trout]

My dad just got the 12 3 weeks ago

Base model

[blissful rampart]

why exactly the s22 ultra?

[ebon marlin]

but at the same time Oneplus also has very quick charging speeds which have came in clutch

actually nvm scrap the idea fuck the s22 ultra

[raw trout]

Oneplus 12 0 to 100 in 20 mins my phone 0 to 7 on 45 mins

[ebon marlin]

i forgot it's running Exynos

[raw trout]

0 to 70

[ebon marlin]

Exynos is dogshit

[raw trout]

What is that

Exynos

[blissful rampart]

elaborate?

[ebon marlin]

Samsung's own chipsets

[gilded sparrow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qJzXYd

[raw trout]

Ohh

[ebon marlin]

if it was the snapdragon chipset i'd choose the s22u

[raw trout]

Samsung playing ball with the internet phone

[gilded sparrow]

sSamsung phone cpu to make phones cheaper

[ebon marlin]

but yeah it seems like the Oneplus is ur best choice

[raw trout]

Yah

[azure topaz]

exynos is dogshit 🫡

[raw trout]

U have good od

Os but long term not good

Ur welcome to ask me questions

Im oneplus user for 7 years

[ebon marlin]

Oneplus has good hardware but lacks in software

[raw trout]

No like

[ebon marlin]

Samsung has good software but lacks in hardware

[gilded sparrow]

is fine if ur not geeks like us u wouldn't really tell the difference if ur average Joe besides price

[raw trout]

It has hard ware issues

[blissful rampart]

yea i forgot to mention that the 10 pro has 12/256, s22 u has 8/128 and 12t pro n/a

[azure topaz]

bro idk even how to use my phone i wouldnt notice either

[raw trout]

The first 3 generations of android are smooth and feature packed but after the 3rd generation it is slow

[ebon marlin]

you can easily notice the difference even as a non-tech user

[azure topaz]

hand me an iphone 4 and an iphone 16 pro and im walking away after an intense game of spot the difference

[ebon marlin]

Exynos drains ur battery faster, overheats constantly and noticeably slower than snapdragon counterpart

[livid escarp]

What do yall do on your phones that require more than 8gb of ram?

[ebon marlin]

my phone has 12gb of ram

[raw trout]

More bezel smaller and bad recpetion due to discontinued mobile bands in iphone 4

[gilded sparrow]

u wouldn't notice bc most people don't look or care for slightly faster load times if ur not gaming or smth using alot of power then u wouldn't know

[ebon marlin]

I only use it for social media lol

[azure topaz]

spotify

[clear canyon]

I want it bc I can do more things

in general

[livid escarp]

Like?

[ebon marlin]

I wasn't talking about gaming use

[raw trout]

Oneplus oxygen os likes to act like teams

U got 8gb ram boom only 3gb

That's why oneplus has the ram expansion setting

[gilded sparrow]

i use a s24

[raw trout]

Download free ram

[gilded sparrow]

smasnug

[ebon marlin]

Exynos generally drains ur battery much quicker than snapdragon counterpart and runs very hot even in normal usecase with no heavy load

[clear canyon]

i use s24 ultra

[gilded sparrow]

Ah yes

[gilded sparrow]

too big and the base model cameras are great still

[clear canyon]

I have 12gigs of ram and I have ram plus set to 8gigs

[blissful rampart]

so its a no go for the samsung i see.

[bronze jay]

Why are modern cards 3 slot when my 2 slot 4070 doesn't even spin up loud enough to be audible

[ebon marlin]

ram plus sucks

[livid escarp]

I have a S23+ and I've never had problems with ram capacity

[clear canyon]

I hate small phones, I want my phone big

[clear canyon]

no it doesnt

[gilded sparrow]

charge extra and looks tbh

[bronze jay]

But the thinner one looks better

[ebon marlin]

if you already have plenty ram ram plus won't do jackshit and just make ur experience slower

[tidal geyser]

looks

[gilded sparrow]

to You

[ebon marlin]

since ram plus makes more ram from ur storage and ur storage is slower than the ram itself

so you are bound to have some hiccups

[clear canyon]

no? its an overflow, so if you run out of ram, it will use ram plus for extra ram

[devout oxide]

Aside from cooling fan laptop gpu chips hit the peak performance of desktop ones, or are they like also a bad bin of the dektop ones

[bronze jay]

Sacrificing a slot so the card can look more powerful than it is pisses me off

[clear canyon]

plus if you do ram intensive things like video editing on phone, it helps alot

[gilded sparrow]

There just clocked lower for thermals that pretty much the big difference there not a bad batch

[ebon marlin]

I noticed my experience being more snappy and smooth after turning off ram plus even in general use with no heavy loads at all

[gilded sparrow]

hey a starwars reference 🔼

[devout oxide]

So if we got a framework we could just add a water cooling extension and have full performance

[clear canyon]

I never did

[bronze jay]

Next time I buy a card I'll check to see if there are any 2 slot versions and make sure I'm not sacrificing any performance if I choose one

[gilded sparrow]

i think u can't clock as high but u can get similar preformace

[devout oxide]

Custom firmware?

[gilded sparrow]

i thinks its more hardware

[bronze jay]

I guess I lucked out with my ventus. I chose it because it's apparently the most reliable one

[devout oxide]

Oh

[bronze jay]

Which is absolutely the most important thing for me

[gilded sparrow]

idk I don't fuck with oc

[devout oxide]

Ye

[bronze jay]

Same

I run everything default

[devout oxide]

I tried once and had to rma my gpu

[clear canyon]

tf did u do lmao

[devout oxide]

Cranked everything up immediately

[gilded sparrow]

Preally of too much

[clear canyon]

to what?

[gilded sparrow]

yeah dont do that

[azure topaz]

theres no software way of killing a gpu provided its not a 3090 and new world

[bronze jay]

I'm glad you were able to get a replacement.

[devout oxide]

Max that ms oc would let me

I am too lmaoooo

[azure topaz]

you can drag a slider literally all the way up and the worst case is that you have to reinstall the driver

[clear canyon]

it just crashes, it does not break

[gilded sparrow]

No nvivda has been killing gpus with hardware for years

[devout oxide]

I dunno bruh

[bronze jay]

I think my 4070 is ironically slightly thinner than my zotac 2060 was

[azure topaz]

with hardware!!! ding ding ding!

[raw trout]

You can overclock a gpu in software and potentially cook it

[devout oxide]

The logs were saying other stuff I ddu multiple times and tried Linux drivers

[bronze jay]

The zotac card had a lot of plastic

[azure topaz]

i didnt say hardware

[clear canyon]

if you had msi afterburner set to auto apply the OC, then you just need to boot into safe mode and uninstall MSI afterburner

[gilded sparrow]

sstupid fucking 12 pin

[gilded sparrow]

ik I said I agreed with you

[bronze jay]

Mood

[clear canyon]

let me guess, it crashed during games?

[azure topaz]

ofc a defected card or a bad design is going to fail

[devout oxide]

No it crashed just loading into one

[raw trout]

Real

[bronze jay]

I'm not upgrading again until I can get literally double the fps

[azure topaz]

but in a scenario where thats not happening

[gilded sparrow]

also no u can't really. Kill it but u can brick it AHEM NVIDA DRIVERS

[clear canyon]

exactly, you had a bad oc, you just revert it and its fixed

[bronze jay]

You can get double the fps of a system from 10 years ago

[devout oxide]

I did

It would get into the training match and crash

[thin plover]

what you got rn?

[bronze jay]

And it's at a point where I can be content for a long while

[clear canyon]

explain what you did to remove the oc

[devout oxide]

Everything

[azure topaz]

bro was sent a defective card and thought his oc killed it

[devout oxide]

Reinstalled the os, ddu, installed a different one

Redownloaded and set the software to default

[clear canyon]

i see

[gilded sparrow]

what

[clear canyon]

yeah ur card was just defective

[devout oxide]

My card worked before that lmao

[azure topaz]

then there is another technical reason as to why it died

[gilded sparrow]

yeah but of shouldn't kill it unless ur not cooling it which any card besides like single slot should be fine

[raw trout]

Also why did disk check diappwr after i put new paste?

[devout oxide]

The logs say other wise

[bronze jay]

Ryzen 9 5900x, MSI ventus 4070 oc, 32gb of ddr4-3200mhz ram, Asus rog THOR 1200w, Samsung 990 pro 4tb, 4tb Seagate iron Wolf backup drive with 7200rpm and 256mb cache

[devout oxide]

Oh yeah vram was way over what it should’ve been, peaked 100c I think

[clear canyon]

the only way to fuck it is by just over volting the fuck out of it

[random gyro]

Hey folks, I don't know a lot of AMD because I've been Intel fan for a long time but how about the AMD FX 4130 with a better heatsink than the original one? It's accurate for old games like NFS CARBON?

[azure topaz]

even if he didnt have a fan on it/didnt have a heatsink it would shut itself dowwn more than likely before anything happened

[azure topaz]

100c is kinda fine

[devout oxide]

It shit down multiple times lol

[azure topaz]

then YOU killed your card 💀

[gilded sparrow]

ubless the card was faulty and wasn't properly doing that

[devout oxide]

Just loading into windows sometimes shut it down, it was refurb so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a mix of me and the card

[clear canyon]

you cooked it

[thin plover]

oh yeah then it'll take a while before you can upgrade again

[azure topaz]

playing god with protections built into the card or your power supply is how you kill cards

[azure topaz]

if something shuts down randomly, dont turn it back on

sit down and think why it couldve done that before trying again

[bronze jay]

I can upgrade right now if I wanted to but I refuse to because it's not necessary

[devout oxide]

True but whatever lesson learned, to stupid to oc

[bronze jay]

I could get like 6000mhz ram or something if I gave a shit

[devout oxide]

MHz?

MT?

[gilded sparrow]

i just over kill my cooling so I won't run into those issues

[azure topaz]

[devout oxide]

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone could get that high of an oc

[azure topaz]

i think were only at like 11kmts

[warm linden]

Where can I post something for sale? I have ddr4 ram I want to sell

[bronze jay]

That only applies because I can run Minecraft RTX shaders in 1440p with 60fps. That's what I wanted, I have it now, and the rule is in place

[devout oxide]

Only 11000 MT?

To slow obviously

[azure topaz]

our boy seby has it

[devout oxide]

wtf that’s insane

[bronze jay]

You shouldn't hold back on upgrading if there's a performance benefit that would genuinely make you happy long term

[azure topaz]

literally 12 hours ago 👍

[devout oxide]

Isnt that double the normal clock

[azure topaz]

[bronze jay]

You have to balance your mindset. Are you content with what you have, why or why not

I'm content because Minecraft RTX

[devout oxide]

What’s the highest stable?

[azure topaz]

probably nothing close to that

[bronze jay]

I wasn't content because I couldn't even use basic shaders without severe lag

[azure topaz]

maybe 9400 or like barely 9866 or somethin

[bronze jay]

I had a 2060. If I didn't play Minecraft, I would probably still be using it

[devout oxide]

That’s still like a 1400 boost though

[azure topaz]

and its slower than anythiing g2

[devout oxide]

That’s pretty good

[azure topaz]

well no because its gear 4

[warm linden]

I have 2x8gb 3200mhz bdie ram I want to sell for $30 shipped. Where can I list it?

[devout oxide]

[azure topaz]

not in this server just go on fbm

id take it but i odnt want sr

[bronze jay]

Wtf dm me

[rigid fjord]

i was thinking 12-13k under XOC no?

[thin plover]

although I'm able to upgrade rn I'm fine with keeping the current setup as it's still strong enough, and I'm gonna go to university soon so I'll be poor

[azure topaz]

im telling u now, 30$ is not a good deal for a 16gb ram kit unless youre buying it for the ic and to overclock

[devout oxide]

Does that NEED water cooling at that point?

[rigid fjord]

not in this discord thats for sure @warm linden

[devout oxide]

I bought my 16 gig for 15-20$

[azure topaz]

yes, like 6.4ghz actual

[azure topaz]

more than likely but it just dpepends on your sticks and settings you choose

[bronze jay]

My mindset is the opposite. I'm terrified of the current administration, so I'm buying what I can because I might as well never be able to again

[azure topaz]

you dont need super high voltage for crazy high frequencies

[devout oxide]

I see

[azure topaz]

but you need super high voltages for low tcl or trcd

[gilded sparrow]

bro thermalright paste is like fucking putty

[devout oxide]

Cause I heard they only water cool cause it’s convient

[azure topaz]

its just the cheapest way toc ool ram effectively, a ramblock is like, 40$

[devout oxide]

But idk if someone would go to like liquid nitrogen for ram

Would they

[azure topaz]

thats the record i showed above, ln2 on cpu and memory

[gilded sparrow]

i have a aio on my 7600

[devout oxide]

Holy

[azure topaz]

its a pretty normal thing

[devout oxide]

7600 ≠ ram

[rigid fjord]

you should check TT discord if you got a gog account

[azure topaz]

i have custom cooled dimms even

[gilded sparrow]

ik but its overkilll

[devout oxide]

Crazy

[devout oxide]

I guess

[azure topaz]

redid these last night

[devout oxide]

Damn

[rigid fjord]

i have one on my 5600x, it was on my 3600 previously

[devout oxide]

I’m pretty sure I don’t even have xmp activated rn

[thin plover]

oh yeah makes sense, I'm not from the US so I'm not that worried

[devout oxide]

Cause I deactivated it when my gpu broke and probably never activated it lol

[rigid fjord]

oooh, copper shims, noice

[azure topaz]

mhmm

[gilded sparrow]

werent u the one making fun of me a few weeks ago for being overkill

[azure topaz]

i need to order slightly thicker ones for one of my sticks

i got .3 and .5mm shims and the .5mm ones turned out way better but i only got enough for a single dimm

it is VERY gross to put thermal paste on ram i am informing you

[devout oxide]

lol

I don’t think I need to oc anyway

[azure topaz]

all over my fucking desk and the dimms and shit

had to wipe down the pins with iso

[devout oxide]

I have a 7700x and 3080 for RL and doki doki club

[azure topaz]

it was not an enjoyable experience

[devout oxide]

It can run it pretty well

[azure topaz]

next attempt im gonna use thermal putty or somethin

[devout oxide]

Thermal pads?

[azure topaz]

putty

the shims are important

[devout oxide]

I see

[azure topaz]

the heatsinks are kind of garbage and dont cover the IC fully, and they give whole solution a lot more thermal mass

[devout oxide]

Have fun, but when my 3080 stops being able to play rl it’ll be a sad day

[azure topaz]

i shunt modded and overclocked the fawk outta my 3080 and its in use to this day

[devout oxide]

I’ll need a 5090

[azure topaz]

in a friends system but

[devout oxide]

lol

[azure topaz]

i can go get it if i want i guess

i have a 13900ks and 7800xt

[upper abyss]

helo young unc

[devout oxide]

I kind want a custom case thingy

[azure topaz]

hello shawty

[rigid fjord]

not that i remember, was checking our chat history, but i did tell you that your v5 could easily handle a 7600

[devout oxide]

What ever the he’ll the fan thing is called

[upper abyss]

also hello you

[azure topaz]

my hands and desk still have thermal paste on em 😔

[upper abyss]

just lick it off

[devout oxide]

Maybe I’ll make a custom loop one of these days

[azure topaz]

and i assure you i used some of the most garba ge thermal paste known to man since its just ram

[upper abyss]

grey forbidden peanutbutter

[devout oxide]

Why though

Thermal paste is inexpensive

[rigid fjord]

sup again

[azure topaz]

im not wasting several grams of decent paste only for it to end up literally not even on whawt im cooling

[gilded sparrow]

yeah had a gift card and its for the future plan on getting a 9800x3d and also asthetics

[devout oxide]

Then get good at applying it

[upper abyss]

several grams? bru wat

[azure topaz]

brother i dont think you quite understand the gravity of the situation

[devout oxide]

It can’t be hard to put paste on a sqyare

[upper abyss]

explain brother

[bronze jay]

I refuse to eat peanut butter that has not turned gray

[azure topaz]

the shims and ics AND heatsink need their own contact surface covered in paste

[devout oxide]

I’m an idiot who bent cpu pins

[azure topaz]

otherwise iss not great

[upper abyss]

real shit 💔

[devout oxide]

And managed to bend them back with a mechanical pencil

[bronze jay]

Why do you keep doing this to your hardware

You're a sinner

[devout oxide]

How does that affect u getting paste on the table

[azure topaz]

well you have to spread it somehow

[devout oxide]

I clearly did it on purpose

[bronze jay]

Yes

[azure topaz]

and i spreaded it

and it yknow falls off or i touch it and it gets on my hands

[gilded sparrow]

i honestly will need to buy more paste the stuffi got sucks and ran out

[devout oxide]

Spread it then put the left over stuff on the next surface

[upper abyss]

do clearly, the only reason is smearing it onto your desk

[azure topaz]

i mean yeah but its still qutie a bit of paste

[upper abyss]

no you gotta say its a power move, all wanted

[azure topaz]

i mean no it was terrible but it works i mean

my dimms are happy at like 1.75v

[devout oxide]

Damn

Mine run at 1.66 I think? Maybe 1.4? Facitry what ever it is

I think their micron dies 🤮

[azure topaz]

if its ddr4 its 1.2 or 1.35 (typical xmp voltage)

1.2 is jedec

[devout oxide]

What is jedec

It’s ddr5

[upper abyss]

oc is funny but istg it feels so not worth the trouble 💔

[azure topaz]

base spec of ram is jedec

ddr5 jedec is still 1.2 im pretty sure

[devout oxide]

It’s not

[azure topaz]

xmp voltages on ddr5 are kinda all over the place i see a lotta 1.35 and 1.4 kits

[gilded sparrow]

ig the b650 eagle ax sucks acording to some random guy on a differnet disocrd idk i like it

[devout oxide]

It’s only worth it if u run old gear or are an enthusiastic

[upper abyss]

btw can you please make cpu prices drop back down

[devout oxide]

No

Use micro center

But I guess oc depends from what I’ve heard you only get a noticeable boost from older hardware

[bronze jay]

Is game boost bad for my cpu

[upper abyss]

im in ze germany

[bronze jay]

I don't trust corporate overclocks unless I get a second opinion

[devout oxide]

Move to America

[upper abyss]

no ty

[devout oxide]

I was kidding

[bronze jay]

We don't have healthcare do not move to Amer

[devout oxide]

Don’t actually, actually let me move there

[elfin gulch]

no you want your cpu to boost

[bronze jay]

4 years and I never used it
