[random gyro]

wait so how doi unintsll the thing then @frigid blade

[wheat torrent]

What happens if I set 2 routers with same SSID

[frigid blade]

Im not sure, Ive never seen that specific error

[wheat torrent]

Router / access point

[tidal geyser]

i make tier 4 things

[random gyro]

hm

[frigid blade]

Uninstall the High Definition Audio Device

[sinful cobalt]

@tidal geyser do yk have any idea whats hapoening with my b580 freezing the pc

[frigid blade]

Then try the downloaded install

[sinful cobalt]

used ddu to delete nvidia drivers so idk

[tidal geyser]

is rebar on?

[sinful cobalt]

yep

on msi ab it shows that its boosting to 2850mhz

which is not normal for a LE card thats like 27xx

[gusty wagon]

The steel one?

[random gyro]

Ok

[sinful cobalt]

nvm the boost clock shld be 2670

why tf is it defaulting to 2850 on msi ab

and also the intel graphics app is unstable as shit

[tidal geyser]

yes the steel one, what did you think i was talking about

[random gyro]

@frigid blade

[gusty wagon]

The steel legend

[random gyro]

the problem didnt appear after restart, thanks for the help

[tidal geyser]

i 100% am not meant to be sleeping now

[sinful cobalt]

Im gonna have to tune the boost clock when I get back ltr

[frigid blade]

No problem, glad it works

it was a hail marry, but usually reinstalling drivers fixes them

[sinful cobalt]

idk tho its weird msi ab doesnt register 60w of power to the b580

RIP Intel Unison

[frosty wharf]

Is $500-$700 a good budget to get a decent steering wheel with pedals for forza?

[limpid ivy]

wait they killed it👀

[frail delta]

EoL at the end of June :(

https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/what-is-intel-unison

That almost sounds like it will cease working on June 30

[latent gull]

The message specially says its ending service, I assume that means it’s gonna stop working

[frail delta]

Yeah, sounds like they're killing it, not just letting it die in it's own time

[latent gull]

Is it cloud based or local? I’ve never used it

[frail delta]

Mostly local, because I needed to buy a WiFi/BT AIC

Maybe some of it is cloud based? I doubt it

[latent gull]

Probably uses some account to sync the devices

[frail delta]

No account

Works like the Windows Phone app, you just download an app, scan a QR code and sign your life away

[latent gull]

Oh, wow. Thats actually incredibly surprising, no wonder they’re killing it

Idk, they probably just don’t want abandonware floating around with the intel name on it. Wonder if they’ll replace it in a couple years with a built in windows feature or something to entice people to activate windows

[frail delta]

Microsoft doesn't care

[latent gull]

I just realized this is TC1

Weirdly quiet…

[whole garden]

[frigid blade]

better than earlier today

[wicked spruce]

2tb ssd or 1tb ssd + 2tb hdd?

[frail delta]

2tb ssd for sure

[clear canyon]

always go ssd unless you are building a nas

[wicked spruce]

ill have a lot of legally obtained games, is 2tb enough?

[clear canyon]

that depends on your usecase

[wicked spruce]

idk what game sizes are nowadays

[frail delta]

Since they're legally obtained, you can just download them from steam when you want to play them :)

[clear canyon]

get 4tb then

[wicked spruce]

4tb ssd is $250

[clear canyon]

2x 2tb

or build a NAS

[wicked spruce]

same price 😭

[clear canyon]

build a nas

if you want mass storage

[wicked spruce]

for games?

[clear canyon]

nothing wrong with that

[mellow cairn]

"enough" for what.. to have plenty of games to play? Yes. For all games ever? No

[clear canyon]

if its yours, who cares, they dont choose what you put on it

[wicked spruce]

how much space do games take up nowadays

[clear canyon]

it varies

[wicked spruce]

thats what im wondering i guess, havent gamed in years

[mellow cairn]

At least 7, maybe 13.

[clear canyon]

AAA tend to be large, inde are normally much smaller

[wicked spruce]

gb?

[clear canyon]

AAA is a couple hudred gigs, inde is normally around 8-13gigs

[frigid blade]

You can get a 20TB enterprise drive for $180

:P

Should fit all the games you need

[wicked spruce]

where?

[lethal bay]

No hard drives in main rigs anymore guys

[mellow cairn]

.... Can you?

[frigid blade]

Well, its a SAS drive, was more of a joke, your SATA controller wont be able to recognize it

[frigid blade]

Yes

Refurb/used, but yes, with 5 year warranty

[clear canyon]

thats why I was pushing for a NAS build lmao

bc I would do a NAS, then get ssd read/write cache then do 10gig networking

thats what I did and its plenty fast

[frigid blade]

Those are most likely the drives ill use for this build

although over time, I cant buy 20 $200 drives at once, I dont have $4k laying around

Oh, damn, they are out of stock now

I literally look at them earlier today an there was 20+ available

[mellow cairn]

Yeah probably because it's a crazy good price

[frigid blade]

Awwww

I wonder if its someone from here

Because I posted the link earlier lol

[wicked spruce]

it was me ngl

[frigid blade]

If you guys wanna save it:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D4P5Z9V9

Pretty good deal if it goes back in stock

[mellow cairn]

It's an extremely good deal

[wicked spruce]

ill monitor it

and buy instantly

[lusty saddle]

@clear canyon i just got reminded that the iphone 6plus to the 8 plus were all 1080p

[clear canyon]

never knew that since the last time I owned an iphone was back when the iphone 3 was a thing XD

[empty quartz]

Damn

[clear canyon]

i still have it

[clear canyon]

it boot loops tho so I need to fix it

[empty quartz]

Ive had an iphone 7, iphone 12, and now my 16 pro max

[frosty oriole]

Logitech is an awful company.

[rich dock]

Bruh my iphone 7 stoled best phone ever for sure iphone 7 goat i have iphone 13 now

[frosty oriole]

None of that's to mention that the G-Shifter is the worst shifter on the market, the F310 and F710 are the worst controllers imaginable, the G29 is listed for the same price as direct drive wheels and every Logitech product that myself or anyone I know have used, has had issues.

[empty quartz]

7 works, but has a logic board issue

12 kinda works, but the screen is fucky & back glass is cracked because if my mom

16 pro max is basically brand new

[rich dock]

Yeah its just droped 😅

In my country

[empty quartz]

I got mine in late february

[rich dock]

Yeah around this in hungary we slow country

And werry por so not all people buy iphone new series

[empty quartz]

Worst shifter from big name brands*

Theres farrrrr worse shifters

[frosty oriole]

Bro, even Turtle Beach has a better shifter.
Turtle Beach. The company that makes e-waste headphones which break if you sneeze on them.

[empty quartz]

Almost like its >2x the price

[frosty oriole]

I should've clarified that I mean H-shifter, though.

[frosty oriole]

There's no reason ether of them should be the price that they are.

[empty quartz]

That turtle beach shifter is 180 cad

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, the G Force Shifter should be like $40 CAD, and the Turtle Beach one should be at most, $120 CAD.

[empty quartz]

The logitech shitty shifter is like 90

[frosty oriole]

Maybe a bit more because of inflation now.

[empty quartz]

No

[frosty oriole]

You think the Logitech shifter is worth more than $40?

[empty quartz]

The costs of materials

Plus they cant sell it at a loss

[frosty oriole]

Oh, they aren't, I can assure you that.

[empty quartz]

You might need to do some research

[frosty oriole]

This was included with the G27. Not extra. Included. And the wheel itself costed less.

Logitech removed all the buttons from it, and tripled the price.

[empty quartz]

Incorrect

The g27 was far more

Not even accounting for tax

[frosty oriole]

The G27 was more than the G29?

[empty quartz]

Yes

[frosty oriole]

What did it cost?

[empty quartz]

447 usd (accounting for inflation)

[frosty oriole]

Bro, that's $3 less than the G29.

Ah, you changed to USD.

[empty quartz]

It was 300 usd in 2009

Which is 447 usd in todays money

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, that's cheaper than the $400 G29 from 2015.

And again, the G27 had an included shifter with buttons.

[empty quartz]

G29 was $300 usd when it released

[frosty oriole]

I found $399.

[empty quartz]

You’re seeing cad

It was $300 usd at launch

[frosty oriole]

Not according to GN.

[empty quartz]

Fuck gn

[solid crown]

google dino game when you dont have internet

[frosty oriole]

Fine, PCPer, then.

[empty quartz]

@frosty oriole either way, the logitech g29 is actually a decent setup if you’re on a budget

[frosty oriole]

Thrustmaster is better, but that's not what I'm pointing out. What I'm trying to say is the shifter is overpriced and Logitech is a bad company that makes their users' experience worse with time.

[empty quartz]

Not if you’re on a budget lmfao

[frosty oriole]

T300 is $330.

But again, not what I'm pointing out.

[empty quartz]

$400*

[frosty oriole]

So, the same price as the G29.

[south sphinx]

Imma install Chinese paypall

[empty quartz]

No

Im talking $400 usd, not $400 cad

[rotund mirage]

That’s the hard drive, right?

[empty quartz]

G29 is cheaper at $430 cad

[south sphinx]

Got it right

[empty quartz]

There’s not a hard drive

[rotund mirage]

I mean ssd

😂

[south sphinx]

Pc parts/physical components 🤷🏻

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, G29 is normally $500. T300 is in the same price range.

[rotund mirage]

Fuckin bios wont let me boot linux from usb so im gonna try to make it install on another pc

[south sphinx]

What installation did you get

[south sphinx]

Live boot or..?

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, it's since gone down because there's the G923 out instead.

[rotund mirage]

Hang on what

Whos talking to who

[empty quartz]

We’re not talking about the g923

[south sphinx]

Me to you lol

[rotund mirage]

I wanna put mint on it

Its stuck on windows 8

And i cant get internet access with it because its windows fucking 8

[south sphinx]

Go to bios then, flash new system

[frosty oriole]

Again, the point I'm saying is this. If you want to defend a multi-billion dollar company, you do that.

[empty quartz]

Im not

[rotund mirage]

Here is the problem it’s admin locked

And I don’t have the fucking password

[empty quartz]

Theres far worse companies than logitech

Cough cough samsung

[south sphinx]

Dang that might be tricky

[empty quartz]

Take out the cmos battery

[rotund mirage]

Oh

Got it 😂

[frosty oriole]

"I'm not."
Immediately does.

[empty quartz]

Thats not defending

[empty quartz]

Thats just a point

Theres a difference

[frosty oriole]

There's no reason to make the point to point fingers at other companies if you're not trying to defend.

[rotund mirage]

Should i boot normal or grub 2

[frosty oriole]

But I'll leave you to it.

[empty quartz]

If i was defending them, it’d be copium from my side

[empty quartz]

💀

Put on a shirt bro

[rotund mirage]

Lol sorry

[frosty oriole]

Haha, that is an awesome picture.

[rotund mirage]

Im a redneck

[empty quartz]

Clearly

[frosty oriole]

There's so much within that.

[rotund mirage]

WOOOO

WOOOO

[south sphinx]

I bricked motherboard but not on accident 💀

[rotund mirage]

YEAAHH KICKSTEART MY HEAT

[empty quartz]

@frosty oriole if you want i can slander thrustmaster

[frosty oriole]

I don't want you to bro...

[empty quartz]

I personally run their shit

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, I made the mistake of going Logitech. Had to take apart the pedals to get them to work properly, and now the shifter has started cutting out intermittently.

[empty quartz]

I had to repair my tmx because the fucking power cable shielding wore down and caused the wires to short out

[frosty oriole]

Which is cool, because my F710 controller would also cut out intermittently.

[south sphinx]

Supra or r34 real deal 🤷🏻

[empty quartz]

Mid cars

[plain cypress]

Bro what the actual fuck

[south sphinx]

I am actually working on m3 gtr replica

[frosty oriole]

They're different cars for different people. But people group them together because they both an have I6.

[south sphinx]

Most wanted

[south sphinx]

Yeah, nice for drifting

[rotund mirage]

Fuck

[empty quartz]

The supra is the only one of the 2 that would be okay for drifting

[rotund mirage]

Well shit

Anyone got a easy distro for a x2 split

[south sphinx]

Cmon man, gtr is nice too

[frosty oriole]

Eh, one is AWD and they're both almost 4000 pounds, which honestly isn't great for drifting.

[empty quartz]

Gtr is awful for drifting

Its awd

[frosty oriole]

They're both cool cars, though.

[empty quartz]

Meh

R32 gtr is far cooler

[south sphinx]

But i think m3 gtr takes the cake

[empty quartz]

And the 2nd gen supra too

[empty quartz]

(Toyota celica supra)

[frosty oriole]

If I saw either car in a parking lot, I'd be happy.

[empty quartz]

I would be indifferent

[thorn pewter]

[frosty oriole]

Bro's a car hipster.

[empty quartz]

The r32 has the nickname godzilla for a reason

[south sphinx]

Rx7 is more like exotic but man does it drink gas

[frosty oriole]

It was the first one to do the thing, the following models just refined what it did, which is why people call all of them by that nickname.

[empty quartz]

Rx7 is mid

[south sphinx]

Yeah but sound is sick ngl

[frosty oriole]

How many have you driven?

[shrewd oracle]

I want the new electric dodge charger or the chevo impala 1976 but converted to electric

[empty quartz]

You have to heavily mod them to get that sound

[sinful cobalt]

S2000 my goat

[empty quartz]

1

[rotund mirage]

This the one i need for linux lite

[frosty oriole]

I think the RX-7 is a very pretty car, and in games, handles very nicely, but I genuinely highly dislike the sound of rotaries.

They sound like an I4, but even more I4-er.

[south sphinx]

Yeah, fat turbo, intercooler, ecu, etc lol

[south sphinx]

Yeah, it screams lol

[empty quartz]

Itll cost more than 20k just to get the sound

[south sphinx]

Dang lol

[frosty oriole]

What? Sound is 80% exhaust. Exhaust and a bridgeport doesn't cost $20,000.

[sinful cobalt]

the community is divided keeping it pure or doing a k20 swap to not have to deal with rotary shit

[empty quartz]

You have to swap out the cam

Tune it

Rebuild the engine

[south sphinx]

Imma get one of these

[frosty oriole]

The K20 holds a lot of power for what it is, but man, it's a heavy engine. And yeah, rotary maintenance is so ass, lol.

[empty quartz]

Not really

It can hold an okay amount of power

You have to heavily modify it to make alot of power

[sinful cobalt]

which are some of the reasons why I prefer the S2000

[frosty oriole]

What I4 can reliably hold as much power with a stock bottom end?

[empty quartz]

2zz

[frosty oriole]

The one in the Matrix?

[empty quartz]

No

Celica

[empty quartz]

They’re all different varients of the engine

I of all people should know about the 2zz

[lilac otter]

My computer screen went black and lost signal. while it was still on I turned off and back on again now it looks like this. Should I use ddu and redownload graphics driver

[frosty oriole]

I know a guy with a Matrix XRS, and he's hesitant to turbo it, because the engine's already at its limit. People have tried and exploded them.

[empty quartz]

The 2zz can take 7psi on stock internals

[sinful cobalt]

stability over pure power

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, the K20 doubles that.

Heck, my Geo Metro can do more than that.

[empty quartz]

K20 is designed differently

[frosty oriole]

Again, the point I was making is that the K20 has a very strong bottom end.

[empty quartz]

So does the celica

[frosty oriole]

Sure, but most 2ZZs you get aren't going to be able to boost as high.

And yes, the same is true for the K20, but you're looking at 350 HP instead of 450 HP on the stock bottom end.

[empty quartz]

You dont need as much boost for th2zz

Stock bottom end can take over 400whp

[ashen tangle]

Chat is this a good deal?

To purchase

[empty quartz]

Ask to test it

[ashen tangle]

Aight

[sinful cobalt]

test it

if its working properly then go ahead

[empty quartz]

If they say no, then avoid it

[frosty oriole]

Not if it's out of an XRS you won't.

[empty quartz]

Im talking about the celica 2zz

[frosty oriole]

My guy, this.

[empty quartz]

Again

You dont need as much boost for the celica

[frosty oriole]

Again again.

I feel like the point was over there.

And you missed it.

[empty quartz]

You need to stop projecting

[south sphinx]

Id say best i4 is:

• SR20DET
• Honda K20/K24
• 3S-GTE

[frosty oriole]

You're the one who's missing the point and being like "Look! My car has a good engine!"

[empty quartz]

2zz can make more power with less boost due to what it is designed for

Its built for high rpm’s

A 2zz can handle 11k rpm

[frosty oriole]

Okay, cool, bro. Again, I'm saying the K20 can hold lots of boost well.

[empty quartz]

You sound like a broken record

[frosty oriole]

Also, if someone goes to a junkyard and there's a K20 and a 2ZZ, odds are that 2ZZ is out of an XRS and won't take boost like that K20.

[empty quartz]

2zz doesnt need as much boost to make the same power

[south sphinx]

Forged pistons, connecting rods, MLS head gasket, arp bolts

[empty quartz]

You’re being dense @frosty oriole

[frosty oriole]

I'm not talking just about power, I'm talking about bottom end strength.

You've been missing that point that entire time, and then called me dense. Neat.

[empty quartz]

Top end strength is more important for boost

[frosty oriole]

Head studs. Problem solved.

[empty quartz]

Nope

[frosty oriole]

Maybe valve springs if you're going 14+ PSI.

[empty quartz]

You need to replace the engine head

Not that simple

[thorn pewter]

No u

[south sphinx]

Id get aftermarket top end, arp bolts, mls head gasket

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, this is how I'm feeling right now, lol.

[thorn pewter]

What is da argument even abt

[empty quartz]

Personally i wanna swap out my vortec 4200 for a vortec lm7

[frosty oriole]

Alright then, show me a K20 with a cracked head that cracked from boost, and tell me how much boost it was making.

[south sphinx]

Well, you could tho

[empty quartz]

No, im done arguing, this is a pointless argument, im gonna stop egging it on

[south sphinx]

V-tec baby💨

[frosty oriole]

I said this and then he wanted to tell me how his 2ZZ only from his car is the best I4 ever.

[empty quartz]

+1 mph

[south sphinx]

Lol

[empty quartz]

You are incorrect

[frosty oriole]

"Provide proof."
"No, I'm done."
Okay.

Then same.

[thorn pewter]

Anyways

[empty quartz]

I used to have a truck with a first gen lm7

Great engine, but horrible on gas

[thorn pewter]

Am so proud of my second titan xp is coming soon for two way titan xp hmb sli, it's so peak

[south sphinx]

Oh sick

Get a supercharger tho

[empty quartz]

Fuck no

[south sphinx]

If dont have one

[frigid blade]

We got a twin turbo work van who wanna race

[south sphinx]

Why not lol

[thorn pewter]

I mean I do have another card with the dual titans for my old system that's a 3050, dose 4k60 in every game trust, but no actually it disr

[empty quartz]

Superchargers suck for the mountains

[south sphinx]

Turbos then?

[clear canyon]

I love the sound of a super charger

[frigid blade]

Don’t cars become less efficient higher up? Less oxygen

[frosty oriole]

How is the boost from a supercharger different than the boost from a turbo?

[thorn pewter]

I love the sound of you

[clear canyon]

super chargers reduce low end power for high end and it makes ur engine run hotter

[south sphinx]

They do due to pressure change, can mess up air to fuel ratio

[clear canyon]

same!

[empty quartz]

Search it up, i cant be assed to explain it

[hallow cypress]

yo my usb 3.0 ports arent working. i've tried multiple 3.0 cables and the bandwidth is 370 im trying to use my quest 2 with my pc

[thorn pewter]

My 3050 is so peak 💔

I mean fuck it compared to what I have now but still

[empty quartz]

3050 is e-waste

[clear canyon]

it has the peak peformance of a 900 series card XD

[hallow cypress]

still better than integrated graphics

[clear canyon]

its not a bad choice for lp cards

[thorn pewter]

That's why I got it

[south sphinx]

Turbos have ting called torbo lag, it takes time to spool up the turbine and generate some pressure while supercharger is belt driven so no boost delay.

[thorn pewter]

It was a for a meme todo, but it did do 4k60

[frosty oriole]

The first point does depend on the supercharger, but the latter, yeah.

[thorn pewter]

So that's that ig

[clear canyon]

true

[frigid blade]

I love the supercharger whine

[frosty oriole]

Looks like it's because superchargers are limited by volume, whereas turbos will adjust for the pressure. Neat.

[frigid blade]

😫

[thorn pewter]

I mean with hella oc and dlss set to quality, 4k60 is super achievable

[empty quartz]

Ngl, im watching house md hence why i didnt want to explain it

[south sphinx]

Yeah especially srt

[thorn pewter]

🔥

[frosty oriole]

Ye, I knew the difference in a vacuum (hah), I just didn't know why superchargers weren't as good as turbos at altitude, especially because older planes were supercharged.

[frosty oriole]

It's Lupus.

[empty quartz]

@frosty oriole another issue with superchargers is that they heat-soak

Not an issue for city driving

[frosty oriole]

As someone with an STI that has a TMIC, yeah, about that...

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/car-explode-engine-gif-9776505

[frosty oriole]

Lots of superchargers have intercoolers to avoid that, though.

[empty quartz]

When you live where i live, it becomes a major issue

[south sphinx]

Probably because supercharger compresses the air while turbos generate high velocity air and making pressure like that

[frosty oriole]

Can have a FMIC if you're going centrifugal/Procharger or inline if you're going roots/screws.

[empty quartz]

Its the other way around

[thorn pewter]

Where u da livin man

[south sphinx]

Oh actually?

[empty quartz]

Partially

[south sphinx]

Interesting lol

[empty quartz]

West coast of canada

[thorn pewter]

Ahh

Interesting

[empty quartz]

Mountains & superchargers dont mix

[frosty oriole]

I looked it up. It's because unless clutch-controlled, superchargers can't compensate for density loss. They just move X volume of air at X RPM and throttle. So, if air density goes down, boost goes down with it. Which is neat, it's something I never thought about until now.

[south sphinx]

Yeah because its belt driven

[frosty oriole]

Yeah.

[empty quartz]

In simple terms;
Turbo: doesnt give a fuck about the density

[south sphinx]

Turbos might need 2 step launch programmed ecu

Do delay spark

[thorn pewter]

Am hungry

Give food recommendations

[empty quartz]

Because they’re driven by the exhaust gasses

[empty quartz]

Vehicle

[south sphinx]

To make lower the turbo lag

[frosty oriole]

I know, ye, I have one. Though, if like mine where it's tuned to boost more depending on octane and oxygen, it does care about density, lol.

[frosty oriole]

Takis, pizza or Pop Tarts.

[thorn pewter]

No no

Smthn for tmrw I have an exam tomorrow and the day after that, am in da freedom land so it's night rn so need food rec for the next two days lol

[frosty oriole]

Ah. Sandwich?

[thorn pewter]

It's going to be like 6 hours at least

Am in uni

[south sphinx]

Burgir👍🏻

[empty quartz]

Higher octane is just more stable

[thorn pewter]

I was thinking slushy

[empty quartz]

Gasoline

[thorn pewter]

But then I realized I need food food to function so melatbe smthn more nutrous

[south sphinx]

Hell yeah lol

[frosty oriole]

Yes, I know. Octane is resistance to combustion.

I know a decent amount about cars, just never realized that supercharger fact.

[empty quartz]

Fun fact

[wicked spruce]

Higher rpm = more hp

[south sphinx]

And torque

[thorn pewter]

I'll eat anything atp😔 🙏

[empty quartz]

Nope

You make less torque at high rpm’s

[thorn pewter]

Any ways

Wish me luck for tmrw

🙏

[empty quartz]

Luck

[south sphinx]

Depends on a engine tho

[empty quartz]

No

[south sphinx]

Mostly looks something like this

[south sphinx]

Yes for a 2 stroke

[empty quartz]

Why are you bringing up 2 strokes tho

Thats a whole different topic

[south sphinx]

Idk lol

600cc phantera build

And 700cc

[thorn pewter]

Plz take about tech bro 😭

[empty quartz]

No

[south sphinx]

They need some attention too lol

[thorn pewter]

No u

[thorn pewter]

Yes🥺

[empty quartz]

Fake

[frosty oriole]

Depends on the engine, some make peak torque at like 6000 RPM, but peak power is always higher in the rev range than peak torque, ye.

That said, any engine won't make more power than torque below 5252 RPM.

[empty quartz]

2 strokes suck

[empty quartz]

This is why i believe that hp isnt everything

[south sphinx]

Every 2nd stroke is power stroke so

I cant really agree

[thorn pewter]

Ama bring that for tmrw 💯

[frosty oriole]

Power to weight is more relevant, ye.

Horsepower numbers can also be fudged, like in 60's America, or 80's and 90's Japan.

[empty quartz]

Torque is more important imo

[frosty oriole]

Eh, my car with 215 lb-ft of torque is less fun than my car with 58 lb-ft.

[empty quartz]

My truck that i used to have is the most fun vehicle ive driven

330ft/lbs of torque

[south sphinx]

Gear ratio.

[empty quartz]

?

[frosty oriole]

Here's my cars listed from most to least fun, with their torque values as names,
1: 85 lb-ft.
2: Tied between 58 lb-ft and 290 lb-ft.
3: 215 lb-ft.
4: 220 lb-ft.

[gilded sparrow]

what gpu should i get for around $600-$700 ik the 5070 but what and options are there

[south sphinx]

Well mostly from bore/stroke ratio which wins undersquare but transmission and maybe differential is also key part of cars torque delivery

Want torque, go for undersquare, hp oversquare and balance square

the only downside abt the AMD cards is that FSR isnt as widely ported as DLSS

[gleaming minnow]

Wtf is this

[sinful cobalt]

sry i took a snack i was hungry af

[raw trout]

I think your cpu is cooked.

Like where is the die bro?

Did your die melt?

[gleaming minnow]

it is stuck to the back of the ihs

[raw trout]

Yah

Your cpu is cooked

[gleaming minnow]

the motherboard failed too

[raw trout]

I think it over over over heated

The motherboard is salvageable

[gleaming minnow]

its not

it has other issues

[raw trout]

You just need a soc cleanup or a new soc

Mabye one of them is the temp sensor

Cuz your cpu is gone

R/hardwaregone

[limpid dune]

this needs to go on r/hardwaregore

yeah you're gonna need a new CPU. let me guess, did you try to delid a soldered IHS without a tool?

was that an i7-2770K?

good news! the i7-3770K fits in the same socket, isn't very expensive, and can be delidded much more easily. I delidded mine using the hammer method

this is part of an ad for a asus gaming laptop 💀

a sucsessor to the ryzen 4070

[timber basin]

So, looking at possibly getting a new monitor and I'm quite torn. Currently using an old 27" 144hz 1440p display and it's been serving me well, but I need a second monitor and gonna end up using this one as a secondary monitor on which I throw discord and spotify and whatnot. I mainly play World of Warcraft at a pretty decently high level so performance is a must, hence why I am unsure about going 4K or just getting a 1440p 32" OLED monitor. I am currently rocking a 4090, core I9 14900k, but I am very unsure about how WoW performs at 4k since the game is...."not very optimized" for a SFW description!

Sorry for the wall of text everyone ❤️

[woven wigeon]

4090 for 4k

[clear canyon]

no, 4090 for 480p

[woven wigeon]

like my laptop 4060 can handle roblox, minecraft on 4k (2160p)

[clear canyon]

any gpu now days can handle mc 4k lmao

[woven wigeon]

shaders?

[clear canyon]

yeah

depends on the shaders but yeah

[woven wigeon]

yeah

[timber basin]

Thing is, WoW is about as optimized as well as a brick on the bottom of the sea. For reference, I run basicly most graphic settings in WOW on minimum except important things like spell details to see AOE on the ground etc.

[frigid blade]

720p upscaled to 4k

[clear canyon]

wow is older than most ppl here...

[woven wigeon]

my fav shaders

[frigid blade]

What’s with the fog

[clear canyon]

you should do rethinking voxels

[timber basin]

That is true. I'm just so super unsure of the performance hit. Like dropping from 144 to 120fps in a dungeon is giga yuck

[clear canyon]

render distance

[frigid blade]

Auto fogs? My render distance being low just makes it look like there’s nothing there

[clear canyon]

rethinking voxels is my favorite but its SOOO HARD TO RUN

[frigid blade]

Maybe it’s a setting

[clear canyon]

my 4080 cries at 1440p with it

[woven wigeon]

i drc abt render discance like when have ypu see the edge of ypur 32 chunks

[clear canyon]

indeed

[frigid blade]

Is free? I wanna try on my 4090

[clear canyon]

rethinking voxels is 100% free

[frigid blade]

I’ve always wanted to try nice shaders

[clear canyon]

https://modrinth.com/shader/rethinking-voxels

[clear canyon]

its path tracing

[frigid blade]

I totally forgot about that, last I tried was with a 3070Ti

[frigid blade]

Aha, so you pair it with another shader

Or texture pack

[clear canyon]

no, its its own shader

[frigid blade]

Yah, but if you want realistic Minecraft that won’t do it alone

That’s what I mean, gotta pair it with another

[clear canyon]

trust me, it makes a massive difference in vanilla mc

[woven wigeon]

i use aris shaders+sodium in java

[clear canyon]

https://modrinth.com/shader/rethinking-voxels

[sinful cobalt]

thats crazy

[frigid blade]

@clear canyon

Very pretty

around 80 fps

90 when standing still

but yah around 80 when moving around and loading chunks

water is messed up tho

invisible

was using like 50% of the GPU

[wicked spruce]

[lapis bay]

Got a bundle deal at microcenter, so mostly need advice on the case and cooler.
I need help deciding between either saving money or going for more aesthetics (and a tad more cooling).
TBH, I don't know which one is more worth it.

** A. I could either go for a NZXT 240 and a H5 Flow, build would cost $759 in total**

OR

** B. I could go for a NZXT 360 and a H9 Flow and it'll cost $864 in total.**

Here's the build for reference, based on option A (my prices are different since I'm buying from microcenter w/ deal).
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hY3wpK

[sinful cobalt]

B since the 240 is already a waste of money imo

might as well just max it

but personally id take neither of the above

[true stirrup]

Both of these AIOs are a waste of money

[wicked spruce]

hi

[mortal mantle]

bruh why did Discord give desktop the mobile UI

(resent because I forgot to censor some stuff)

[rigid fjord]

you should get a thermalright warframe instead, have both performance and asethetics while not having an absolutely shit aio

[wicked spruce]

u can change it back

[true stirrup]

It's been like this for around a month now

[elder quarry]

Do you have like Vsync?

[iron glen]

i also have "shaders"

[elder quarry]

Do not buy that aio

[sinful cobalt]

Na, dont buy those AIOs and cases in total

only good nzxt case is h6 flow or APNX V1

[harsh whale]

Should I repaste if my idle temps are 60-79C?

[elder quarry]

Some people really like the h9, personal preference

[elder quarry]

When did you build this

[harsh whale]

On my laptop.

Someone repasted it for me a couple weeks ago

[elder quarry]

Ah normal temperature then

[harsh whale]

AT IDLE?!

I used to get lower temps gaming before

[sinful cobalt]

personally I think its simply just another O11 knockoff

And ion even like the o11 unless its the Vision

[elder quarry]

Is it a gaming laptop

[harsh whale]

Yea.

[elder quarry]

O11 is overrated

[sinful cobalt]

shop on their way to sell their 17th O11 build with a 5600x and a 4060ti 8gb for the day:

[mortal mantle]

normal for idle is this (yes I know I'm on a desktop and not a laptop)

[elder quarry]

Well my laptop reaches 90 when compiling and 50 idle

[harsh whale]

I used to have 40C idle before.

[harsh whale]

It thermal throttles in gaming at 3.6GHz

Its a 4.5GHz max.

[sinful cobalt]

i’d guess his paste application is shit or the cooler isnt having proper contact

[mortal mantle]

they messed up

[harsh whale]

I payed 600EGP for it I dont wanna buy thermal paste and apply it myself 😭

[sinful cobalt]

tell them “u suck” and demand a refund or redo till they do properly

[mortal mantle]

bring it back to the person who repasted it (because they did a shit job if it's thermal throttling)

[harsh whale]

I lost the card, but I'll try and look for it.

[mortal mantle]

those temps are only normal under load

[rigid fjord]

it's an o11d clone

[wicked spruce]

[elder quarry]

Oh really?

Wooowee

[harsh whale]

I get like 70 on my 1650Ti

[elder quarry]

I can get at least 165

I think

[mortal mantle]

I wonder what FPS I would get

[junior valve]

i get like 90 with 64 chunks

[harsh whale]

If I open up my laptop, will you be able to see if the cooler is loose?

[junior valve]

shake it

[harsh whale]

It dont make no noise, I mean like no proper contact

[elder quarry]

If you spend over 150 bucks you get free shipping

[harsh whale]

Not free customs tho. They will double the price if they feel like it

Do I need to reapply or not 😭

[sinful cobalt]

tax time!
how much?
guess!

[harsh whale]

Idk

Can someone just answer me bro 😭

[sinful cobalt]

no just slap it back on

proceeds to increase by another 30c

[elder quarry]

Repast every timme you remove the cooler

[sinful cobalt]

finally my yt algorithm did smth

[harsh whale]

All screws seem to be tight. So until I buy thermal paste don’t open it?

[sinful cobalt]

I have not heard preserved vampire in like 3 years and i forgot the name lmao

[solar isle]

who needs ram when you can just have swap

[sinful cobalt]

paste or pad yes dont open

[sinful cobalt]

just download ram off the internet bro trust

[harsh whale]

A thermal pad is lit more expensive than paste 😭

[solar isle]

(this shit is so fuckin slow, it spent the past 3 hours processing and still isn't done)

[sinful cobalt]

but the pad will last longer than the laptop over paste

[solar isle]

sorry i tried

[harsh whale]

Oh well

[elder quarry]

Nobody

[solar isle]

well RAM is expensive

[elder quarry]

Try wget and sh

[solar isle]

especially because this is just a thing that will run once every 3-6 months

[elder quarry]

Hm why

[sinful cobalt]

your sign to upgrade to a threadirpper with 256gb ram with a RTX A6000 48gb

bc the serving of this uses significantly less ram

[harsh whale]

Holy fuck

Why does putting my laptop on charge shoot it up to 90C

[boreal vine]

because when your laptop is plugged in, it's turboing more as it has more power to work with

[elder quarry]

Priviet

[harsh whale]

Nvm it’s back down

[boreal vine]

it's probably scheduled some tasks to run when there's more power available to the laptop

ie refreshes and request

[harsh whale]

Let’s see if taking it apart and putting it back together helps it

Due to time constraints, I got a RM1000e for £156 because I could pick that up today due to the fast GPU shipping. GPU should be out for delivery soon.

But that's a bargain. Would have definitely grabbed that if I wasn't in such a rush.

[sinful cobalt]

[wicked spruce]

[boreal vine]

that's np, rm1000e is good too! but yeah it is a bargain, currently cheaper than alot of places

[hollow moon]

Thanks for all your help and advice. Everyone has been awesome.

I very much panicked and couldn't decide because I knew I only had a few hours to ensure it would get next day delivery.

[boreal vine]

did you find out if your 6750xt can be returned?

I have a feeling that it might not actually be broken

it's very rare for GPUs to just break on their own

specially those that aren't oc'd to begin w

[hollow moon]

Not yet. Was going to wait to get the old card back from the computer shop first but I can start the ball rolling now.

[wicked spruce]

no problem :)

[abstract wigeon]

how do you uninstall wsl ive tried everything

[hollow moon]

Ah. I thought it was strange because I thought I would see signs of it going before it went but I did keep getting low bitrate stutters on Moonlight recently so maybe it wasn't the network but the card?

I did buy apparently the worst partner card ever so I don't know if it's just bad or if I overdid it playing AC Shadows and streaming it to my Steam Deck.

But will definitely contact eBuyer and see what they say.

[boreal vine]

bitrate stutters could be either of them as you have mentioned, normally when bitrate stutters bad it's either an encoding bug or a bad networking from either the host or the target machine

[rigid fjord]

an xfx one?

[hollow moon]

The dead one is an MSI RX 6750 XT MECH 2X 12G V1.

[harsh whale]

My CPU doesnt seem to be liking Cinebench

[elfin gulch]

so i got bored and put my old gpu (the 1650) in there is there anything interesting i can do with it or nah.

[rigid fjord]

ah, the mech's, yeah they're not great

[rigid fjord]

nothing really, it'll only act as an extra card for displays

[elfin gulch]

ah well i tried lol

[remote mesa]

Play quake 3 arena

[rigid fjord]

pointless as sli is dead and you can get more peformance on a newer card

[elfin gulch]

turns out i can have certain games use the 1650 or the 1080ti thats kinda cool actually

[remote mesa]

SLI was an interesting era

[rigid fjord]

that's available for anyone with 2 gpu's in their system

[remote mesa]

It has very obvious flaws

[elfin gulch]

i'm aware, i'm just messing around with it because i have the power available it only takes 90w

[rigid fjord]

you mean more power draw and heat while offering barely any performance gains ?

[remote mesa]

And inefficiency for additional data bandwidth being used 🙂

Im wondering if anyone had bad/good experiences with DeepCool

[tidal geyser]

so you are replacing a cooler meant for a MINI ITX and i mean mini with a tower?

also why ask if deep cool is good

[placid carbon]

im not really that knowledgeable in brand reputability i just happen to come across it in a website and im just very skeptical with poor quality builds in generel which i sometimes encounter in online shops

[harsh whale]

It has a dedicated GPU.

If it has a massive dedicated GPU... Maybe not?

[harsh whale]

I don’t believe a 1650Ti is massive.

i am debating using 566.36 vs latest nvidia drivers for a computer im testing

[elder quarry]

56636

It’s reliable, you know it will work

[bitter island]

Network switches are so damn expensive

[vale reef]

how do i stop my game being fuzzy

[bitter island]

Like why do they all gotta be 150$

you have already sent this before

[proper gull]

You're calling a $150 network switch expensive?

[tidal geyser]

not really

5$ really is not a lot

if it is for you then you really need to get a job or at least a good job

[sinful cobalt]

2nd b580 freeze of the day

[thorn pewter]

Upgrade that cpu a lil

Maybe 3700x

[tidal geyser]

r5 3600 is a massive upgrade and a 5 5600 is even bigger

[thorn pewter]

Yeah yeah it would

[tidal geyser]

a 5 5600 is only like 100$

[thorn pewter]

You can even get but 90ish if you are a bit lucky too

[harsh whale]

What has this world come to. I just saw someone say to stop SpaceX and Blue Origin because they are “producing too much CO2”

[glad fog]

like a poe switch?

[glad fog]

i mean its not like they are doing anything useful

so yeah

[harsh whale]

Rocket exhaust is literally water

[glad fog]

but live in a world where 3 months of a presidency feels already like a year has passed, so there you go.

[harsh whale]

I thankfully live in a world with a bad economy.

[glad fog]

they pollute anyway

[harsh whale]

I dont think it needs a scientist to say that mixing hydrogen with oxygen will make water.

[glad fog]

i mean come on

they literally offload their waste into wetlands and kill ecosystems

https://www.jalopnik.com/spacex-flights-in-2024-will-emit-more-co2-in-the-u-s-t-1851651952/

[harsh whale]

All rockets now use liquid oxygen and hydrogen. Starship uses methalox (which still outputs water)

[harsh whale]

A single car will literally produce more CO2 than a rocket.

[abstract wigeon]

i really dont like how chat gpt has a personality now please go back to being deadpan

[harsh whale]

I noticed it never says “As an AI language model” and more so I asked it and it said that it needs to be more laid back.

[glad fog]

apparently not. the amount of tesla cars save by being EVs is offset by Spacex's rockets

[abstract wigeon]

it also appears to have just gotten worse? like it forgets things mid conversation, insists it hasnt and then makes me promt it

[glad fog]

it costs them a lot to keep track of what you say

[harsh whale]

The video literally says that Katy Perry’s New Shepherd’s flight is “emitting more CO2 than a normal person in their entire life”

New Shepherds fuel is literally water

[glad fog]

Hahaahahah

There's a video of Bezos faceplanting into the ground

[tulip sparrow]

I HATE the fact that when new Laptops drop the older gen stuff pretty much goes "POOF" and I can no longer purchase it. Example I would love a 30 series based laptop BUT good luck finding any that aren't in the used market

[glad fog]

When hes running around like an idiot around the capsule

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78aJ7DJdFjk

[tawny cairn]

you know that water is just a byproduct though right
co2 is also emitted

always

[tulip sparrow]

Now that 50 series laptops have been announced/released good luck finding 40 series ones to purchase

[harsh whale]

Do you mind pointing out the carbon in liquid oxygen and hydrogen?

[tawny cairn]

what happens if you burn things

[harsh whale]

This has to be rage bait

[glad fog]

they might as well stop. going into space for profit is one of the nastiest things ive ever heard of.

[harsh whale]

You don’t like worldwide internet and cheap satellite launches?

[glad fog]

most people dont even travel

so why would it matter to me?

[harsh whale]

Yes. But there is also people don’t have access to internet because their areas are too far

[grizzled frost]

we’re slowly approaching being trapped on earth due to too much debris in low earth orbit

[glad fog]

it seems to me something only people who have deep pockets benefit from. a starlink installation costs 500 euros, a subscription probably 100. who can afford that in the 3rd world anyway?

[harsh whale]

Not how that works.

[grizzled frost]

Very much is how that works

[tidal geyser]

we will not be fully trapped we just need to wait a VERY long time

[glad fog]

soon we're going to have garbage collection in space

[grizzled frost]

hard to collect garbage that is too small to track properly

[ebon marlin]

Why does Microsoft use mechanical cogs inside their wireless headphones

[harsh whale]

We have around 11k satellites in orbit, the biggest one is the size of a football field (ISS), the smallest ones fit in your hand, and average is the size of a couch/car.

[glad fog]

there's an anime Planetes that deals with this exact thing.

[grizzled frost]

okay?

[harsh whale]

How many couches do you think we need to cover the earth?

[tidal geyser]

we also have A LOT of things the size of a screw

[grizzled frost]

You know how debris is produced with every launch?

and you know how fast it’s traveling?

[glad fog]

i hear even a screw can rip apart a spaceship

[tidal geyser]

when you blow up things in space bad things happen

[harsh whale]

Not even, the size of literal dust.

[grizzled frost]

A speck of dust can cause noticeable damage

[harsh whale]

Only when traveling at extreme speeds.

[grizzled frost]

something the size of a screw at orbital velocity would be devastating to any satellite

[glad fog]

kessler

[grizzled frost]

Which is everything in low earth orbit

To maintain an orbit at 325km you need to be traveling about 7.8km/s

[harsh whale]

I’m aware.

Not what I meant by extreme speeds.

[grizzled frost]

A single catastrophic failure could soon result in a cascading effect

Not a problem right now, but with the rate we’re putting satellites up, we’re not far from it

[glad fog]

i know there was an image of a satellite or something destroyed by a screw

[harsh whale]

Do some research on the topic, I’m basically right now talking to a brick wall

[glad fog]

a screw or something else

[clear hull]

what are telltale signs am5 CPU isn't seated right? just making sure before I pull this crazy lever down

[grizzled frost]

doesn’t boot

[raw trout]

The cpu be wobbly and loose

[harsh whale]

You hear crunchy sounds from pins

[grizzled frost]

as long as the notches are lined up you’re good

[clear hull]

seems fine?

[tidal geyser]

triangle to triangle

[clear hull]

I lowered it in flat

[raw trout]

U hear ecfggdgg sound when u shake the cpu

[clear hull]

aight I think I'm good thx guys hard part over

[raw trout]

Man I wish I had a gaming pc

[grizzled frost]

save up and buy one
