[wheat field]

Interesting. I thought the housing market in the states was kinda poopy

[left dove]

it was $66k

[wheat field]

Is it...nice or just located away from everything?

[left dove]

its a little 700sqft single-wide

[wheat field]

Oh

[left dove]

It's decent for what it is, yes

[wheat field]

That's cool for one person

[left dove]

def a bit of a fixer-upper but /very/ usable in its current state

yeah, I'm runnin' solo w/ two cats

[wheat field]

I think the apartment I bought is technically bigger but I'd still rather house. It'll never happen in Shanghai tho

Unless you wanna live in Pudong and deal with Neighbors who are living like it's thirty years ago

[thorny saddle]

Do you know what we call 200A to a singlewide?

[left dove]

a fireball?

[wheat field]

A fire

[thorny saddle]

A mth lab

[left dove]

LOL

[wheat field]

They can turn into fireballs very quickly

[left dove]

nah I want the capacity for a water heater, no gas to this lot

[thorny saddle]

so can 10 MAP gas canisters cut in half

[left dove]

& the current tank is dinkyyyyy

[dawn cedar]

I think I need to recheck how the thermal paste is applied on the CPU Cooler, but I think I'll just get an AIO for next time

[wheat field]

Is a single wide like a mobile home sort of deal?

[copper swallow]

Where am i supposed to put these? There is also one called "power led-"

[left dove]

and see this is why I also want a new panel, because then I can have all the circuits looked over & know what everything's rated for in the walls

[wheat field]

Like this?

[dawn cedar]

F_Panel

[wheat field]

We kinda have these sort of deals back home in Ireland but people just build cabins on their parents property

[copper swallow]

Thanks. What does the f stand for here? What does "f panel" mean?

[left dove]

yeah, but I have a little side extension that gives me a dining nook, spare room, and a laundry room. whole thing's like 40' long?

[thorny saddle]

Just pull the panel cover and look at the gauge

[wheat field]

Interesting

[dawn cedar]

Front Panel

[left dove]

fair point

[wheat field]

I guess you can always rent it if you get a partner and need to upgrade

[thorny saddle]

@left dove I am building you a new house

But it only has 240v 60A

[copper swallow]

Ohhh makes sense

[left dove]

FUCK I gotta go to home depot and get a bunch of new outlets

[dawn cedar]

F_Panel - Front Panel connection
F_Audio - Front Panel Audio.

[left dove]

Little guest cabin?

[wheat field]

This is why I like apartments sometimes

[thorny saddle]

shed

16x20

[wheat field]

I didn't have to do anything. I just bought it and sat down

[left dove]

I'd rather do it though, because I want actually good outlets

[left dove]

He-shed or she-shed

[wheat field]

good outlets? In China? Haha, ya...no.

You can have functional outlets or fire hazards here

[thorny saddle]

is this a real question

[left dove]

hey, you're married

[thorny saddle]

she picked the siding color

[left dove]

well hey, at least she gets to help

[wheat field]

Marriage is a fools game. It's why I got engaged, because I'm a fool

[thorny saddle]

(which is the same as the house we just sided)

[left dove]

I'm just poly

[wheat field]

"man made prisons Jerry!"

[thorny saddle]

pink poly

[wheat field]

Ah, cool. Not for me but I guess it's just a thing of preference

[left dove]

its not the 70's anymore, pappy. polyester is outta style

[thorny saddle]

tell that to ESD

[sleek ibex]

Powder Blue?

[left dove]

It's def not for everybody, but to those who've got the capacity for more than one partner it can be pretty rad. also ENM & exclusive+open are things as well

[wheat field]

Hrm, I just don't agree with based on my foundational beliefs. But I don't impose it on anyone. People can live how they want to with other consenting adults

[left dove]

Exactly

[wheat field]

See, us religious people can be progressive.

😄

[left dove]

hail satan \o/

or stan, if you will

[wheat field]

I'm not christian lol

I adopted Buddhism a long time ago. But me and my fiancé happen to live in a country where religion ain't really a thang, ya get me?

[left dove]

get educated, dork. it's 2025 and people do things

[wheat field]

The dude

[random gyro]

So there is a new Firmware Update for my Tv. Unfortunately i cant find it through Network Update. Says i have the latest. I have the tcl 75mqled85 which is the European Name for C765. The new Firmware Update is for C765 so it should Work on my Tv, right? So i should be able to Install it through USB

[stoic nova]

Ahh I smoke weed too

[wheat field]

I live in mainland china, I couldn't if I wanted to.

[stoic nova]

You live in mainland Alabama get out of here

[left dove]

nah dude actually is in china

[thorny saddle]

rofl im just here to make money

[stoic nova]

Dudes got more American in him than a Walmart

[wheat field]

Classic American answer. Xi warned me about you!

[thorny saddle]

aint trying to tell LTT kids about my choices

[wheat field]

You're like Virgil and I'm Nero

[thorny saddle]

I play a mean fiddle

[stoic nova]

What's Dante up to

[sleek ibex]

[wheat field]

😮‍💨

[left dove]

Considering I know yoder isn't a kid, and I kept it pg, I don't see an issue

[wheat field]

I'm not hot enough to be Dante

[wheat field]

I'm 23, I'm a fetus compared to him.

[hollow jungle]

Guys is a 5090 good choice?

[thorny saddle]

I remember being 23

[left dove]

i think 5nail5 is in his 40's?

[wheat field]

A lot of people consider sub 25 to be a kid still.

[thorny saddle]

I bought my first house

[wheat field]

He's a hot dad dude

[thorny saddle]

not quite junior san

[wheat field]

Hey I just bought my first property

[sleek ibex]

[thorny saddle]

is it water front?

[wheat field]

Maybe we're parallel beings

[left dove]

I just bought my first house at 29, so

[wheat field]

Kind of? The apartment I own that we're moving to is on the west bund

[stoic nova]

Hey. an hourly spot in a parking lot doesn't count

[wheat field]

You can look it up.

[left dove]

29? 28. not 29 yet.

[wicked spruce]

nice, i bought mine at 27.9

[wheat field]

It does if I can play my steam deck in it and stream bozo

[thorny saddle]

its not a debatable thing

[left dove]

literal same lmao (oh nvm)

[stoic nova]

More property than I got

[wheat field]

Water front in Shanghai is either being on the bund or being somewhere like Pudong watching locals pull fish out of the river and spitting on your driveway

[thorny saddle]

Just remember if you're not signing a prenup you failed

[wheat field]

Pick your poison

[terse dome]

"linus tech tips" is such a dorky name if you think about it i mean like considering lttstore is only reaching a broader and broader customer base im just thinking about someone asking "oh cool sweater where is it from?" "oh it's by linus tech tips" "huh?"

[wheat field]

We have a prenup but Chinese marriage is different anyways

That's why we're getting married in Ireland and returning

[left dove]

Are marriages from other countries like, valid in china?

[thorny saddle]

"we" and "prenup" isn't a thing

[wheat field]

Not really

[left dove]

weird

[wheat field]

You both sign

At least according to our lawyer here

[thorny saddle]

theres a connotation

[sleek ibex]

Could be worse

[wheat field]

I get what you mean

[ember inlet]

Goin to Norway!

[wheat field]

In China both parties have to agree to a divorce for example

[thorny saddle]

😬

[stoic nova]

Then they wonder about birthrates.

[wheat field]

So we both decided that we wouldn't do that

[wheat field]

Birthrates are down

[tidal geyser]

YESSSSS

[wheat field]

Young Chinese aren't having kids

[thorny saddle]

Thats why one party decides to fall from the top of a build ing lol

[ember inlet]

Flight boards in 20

[tidal geyser]

you are going to the best country

oslo i suspect?

[thorny saddle]

oslo lol

[wheat field]

Yes. Or in the case of a girl we know get horribly abused for five years and still be married to someone

[sleek ibex]

It's a no-no for a Muslim woman to marry a non- Muslim man..... But not so vice versa (Yeah.... Don't ask me where the logic is in that)

[ember inlet]

Oslo bergen flam

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[wheat field]

Chinese men and Russians have horrible attitudes towards women

[left dove]

bless you

[wheat field]

Systemic thing. You see husbands openly scolding their wives here and not in a cute way

[thorny saddle]

this sounds fun

[tidal geyser]

bergen best

[ember inlet]

Going to see one of my favorite bands ever there

[thorny saddle]

But to be fair 90% of Russian women don't marry Russian men

[wheat field]

Mrmm. Problem with pulling people out of poverty extremely quickly. Money doesn't equate to education or morals

[thorny saddle]

its all good - american dudes with C level jobs need hunnies

[wheat field]

That's why, same goes for Chinese women. Chinese men shame Chinese women who marry laowai and posit that it's because of...physical differences.

In reality western educated men (not just white dudes) tend to treat women better (in comparison)

My fiancé said her mother was happy because she didn't flinch when I moved

It's insane, lol

Done hijacking tech chat with this shite now lmfao

[thorny saddle]

to be fair her last fiance had tourettes

[wheat field]

Domestic abuse is just common here

[thorny saddle]

im just here for the luls

not trying to be so srs

[wheat field]

Lol

[thorny saddle]

Its LTT not Dr. Phil

[wheat field]

But ya, even young Chinese guys. You'll talk to them and they'll recoil at the idea of their girlfriend having a job or any of her own money

It's Le epic

(not really)

[thorny saddle]

if my wife had a job I'd be screwed

[wheat field]

Is Dr.Phil bald?

[thorny saddle]

jk she gets paid as much as I do its how we spend so much money

[wheat field]

Ya my fiance has a career but gets paid in local currency

My buying power here is just better so I spend da big buckeroos

[thorny saddle]

I get paid in GPUs

[wheat field]

What if you got paid in me

Like everytime you got paid you got another me

And you could do stuff with me, like feed me and walk me

[normal tusk]

id stop working

[wheat field]

You get a severance package that gives you 3000 mes all at once

[normal tusk]

id breach contract so i wouldnt get severance

[wheat field]

You get a stimulus of 10,000 mes

And each one wants a nugget

What the fuck will you do now

[thorny saddle]

That sounds like socialism

[wheat field]

Socialism doesn't exist

[thorny saddle]

False

[wheat field]

True

Nothing exists

[thorny saddle]

How come all socialists deny it's existence

[wheat field]

Because we're mole people

Drilling into your toilet and lapping up your tummy nutrients

Silly boy, thinks he's above the mole people

[thorny saddle]

I wasn't talking about you though

[wheat field]

This is me

Don't be mean

[stoic nova]

Oh sh a RAT

[rigid fjord]

nope, more like mid to late 20's

[wheat field]

He's like fifty dude

I've counted the rings on his toenails

[wheat field]

Oooooo

[steel umbra]

Pretty sure that is madagascar

[stoic nova]

[rigid fjord]

lol, if snail was 40, i'm bill gates

[wheat field]

Did you know that he eats cheese

All sorts of cheese

He dresses up like a giant rat and eats them in the corner

[rigid fjord]

yes, also sushi, steaks and much more

[wheat field]

He says things like "hands off!"

[wheat field]

Are you telling me @thorny saddle is a larper?

A sin

He's not a true Belmont

[rigid fjord]

nope, not sure if snail knows what larping is tbh

[wheat field]

He's kind of like an enigma, wrapped in a riddle

[rigid fjord]

not really tbh

[wheat field]

Ok

[wheat field]

Sameskes

[frosty ruin]

Sorry for the late response. Seems like the ram kits work fine. Could be a issue with the motherboard

Maybe try removing the bios battery and inserting it back in after few minutes but other than that your mobo may be cooked

[wheat field]

Why is your steam account in Chinese

[frosty ruin]

Very long story

[warm linden]

Why 🙃

[left dove]

tldr; got hacked, recovered their profile, lazy & didn't rewrite it

[frosty ruin]

299$ MSRP? Maybe 600$ in the current situation

Other than that why would u even consider a 5060 tho?

[warm linden]

I have a 3060

[frosty ruin]

Get a 4060 Ti

[left dove]

get a job

[frosty ruin]

The difference between those two is marginal

[left dove]

:u

[hallow arrow]

my va monitor looks better than my ips

[stoic nova]

Spectrum

[left dove]

HIGHLY DOUBT

[warm linden]

I’d like gddr7 instead of 6?

[stoic nova]

Good VAs bad IPS panels. Ofc could be due to factors outside the tech itself

[warm linden]

12gb gddr6 vs 8gb gddr7 🤔

[frosty ruin]

Get a 4070 then

The 50 Serie is utter garbage

[wheat field]

Good vas look better than bad IPS's

[azure void]

valorant says i need to enable uefi secure boot but cant seem to find it, anyone know abt it?

[left dove]

ok, fair

[azure void]

idk what ''secure boot control'' is

[wheat field]

Delete system32

[azure void]

ok

[wheat field]

👍🏻

[frosty ruin]

I own a RTX 3090 and I wouldn’t really switch to the 5090 even tho I could because the difference to the latest generation is not that big.

Between the 4090 and 5090*

Not worth the extra money

[wheat field]

Ok?

[hallow arrow]

do i need an good graphics card for a build that i'm going to use for coding stuff?

[frosty ruin]

Okay that makes things little difficult

[warm linden]

350 max

[hexed tapir]

Calibrate your ips monitor so it's not so blue

[left dove]

I'll sell you my r9 390 for $300

just repasted it, too

[hallow arrow]

ips is secondary so idrc ab it

[frosty ruin]

@warm linden But good luck getting it at MSRP

Because in Germany we’ll let’s not talk about that…….

Ah thank you for helping me! I'll probably just run it at 3200mhz because that's stable.

[steel umbra]

Looked perfectly fine from the outside

[frosty ruin]

It’s not the issue with the bitlocker. Maybe your windows bugged out. It’s a known problem

[steel umbra]

Thank you capitalism

[frosty ruin]

Np

[frosty wharf]

This may sound crazy - but my FE 4090 is selling for $2K+ on eBay for pre owned. Is it possible or worth it to sell it and get a 5090 at MSRP? Microcenter has like plenty in stock

[hexed tapir]

Get the 5090 at MSRP first then sell

[frosty wharf]

Okay never mind. Apparently MSRP for AIB cards is like $3K+ at microcenter

WTF is this pricing lmao

[frosty ruin]

Scalpers

[frosty wharf]

Yeah - but microcenter doesn’t upcharge you… that’s literally the MSRP

[frosty ruin]

If microcenter sees a opportunity to raise the price because scalpers already did why wouldn’t they raise their prices

[steel umbra]

Because then both retailers and scalpers would raise prices

[south arrow]

[frosty wharf]

They theoretically can. But in the US all reputed retailers agree on selling at MSRP. This includes Microcenter, Newegg, BestBuy, Amazon (sold and shipped by Amazon), and B&H

[frosty ruin]

And the 5090 MSRP isn’t at 3000$. That’s utter bullshit. Maybe the 5090 Astral

[hexed tapir]

Yeah aibs marked them way up

[hexed tapir]

The tuf is now 2999

[steel umbra]

Aibs literally supply then at upcharge even "base" models

[frosty wharf]

It’s not. But that’s the MSRP being charged by Asus, MSI and Gigabyte for their “giga mega max pro OC 1000X aura” versions

[frosty ruin]

So wait. They like work together or what

[steel umbra]

No

[steel umbra]

Aibs literally supply them at extra $$++

[south arrow]

The only 2 models not 3k was the FE and prime

Just is what it is

[steel umbra]

make sure there's the "was" 😂

[south arrow]

Right xD

[frosty wharf]

They don’t work together. But in the States we have something called price matching that all retailers agree on. If BestBuy sells the same sku for $500 off, you can go to microcenter and get it at the same price by showing them the $500 off listing at the competitor. I price match things everyday. We can do it for clothing, electronics, and pretty much anything

[hexed tapir]

Who is selling it

[teal sinew]

FEs are the only cards that youll find still respecting the MSRP

but they make like 7 cards per week so it's not very helpful

[frosty wharf]

And PNY

[south arrow]

It's unfortunate but you know

[frosty ruin]

Okay well didn’t hear of that. Good to know👍

[south arrow]

[south arrow]

Sheesh fams, to each their owns

[steel umbra]

$7k??

[frosty wharf]

Yeah.

[frosty ruin]

[steel umbra]

Check local second hand markets

[frosty wharf]

Yeah. I initially had a 3090 Ti but then frame gen was an absolute must for me

[frosty ruin]

It is second hand

Some offers are at 1k tho to be fair

[steel umbra]

I got my for €500

Without much effort

[clear spruce]

Hey worm

can i plug in an internal monitor for a laptop while its running?

or is that a bad idea?

[frosty ruin]

Im dumb. I’m searching for the strix version

[steel umbra]

Frame gen worth extra $5.4k?

[frosty wharf]

And I got the 3090 Ti FE for like $1100 from Nvidia directly. They were dirt cheap and easily available end of cycle. I thought the GPU shortage was over but then the 4090s were scalped and are still being scalped lmao

[frosty ruin]

Multi frame gen now

For the 4090 later

Can’t understand why the 3090 does not get frame gen whatsoever

Some 3090 Tis have 12V high power connector just like the 40 and 50 series cards

[steel umbra]

AI

The reason is major selling point from nvidia's perspective for 40 series was frame gen

[frosty ruin]

Im no AI expert but shouldn’t this shit run on a 24GB VRAM Graphics card that is on par with the RTX 4070?

[steel umbra]

You should consider architectural differences

[limber spear]

Quick question, aside from VRAM type, what's the difference between the Intel Arc A380 Vs the iGPU in the Ultra 5 135H, they're both using the same architecture and have the same core config right?

[frosty ruin]

Ah yes right

[steel umbra]

It wouldn't be free for nvidia to implement frame gen to 30 series so, also it would likely harm their 40 series sales a bit

[frosty ruin]

I mean they could implement the normal frame gen now since multi frame gen is a thing now

But I can totally understand

Pulling the cord regarding features on the RTX 3090 cards is a bit unnecessary since we paid a lot back then

[steel umbra]

They're not pulling cords they're just not plugging more in

[pallid surge]

got a hp prebuilt that i upgraded with ryzen 3600 and rx 6600 what price should i sell it for.

[obsidian urchin]

I mean atleast in some games you're able to use fsr 3 frame gen with mods iirc?

Not sure

[frosty ruin]

Well in the end it is FSR 3

[steel umbra]

Which kinda sucks

But better than lossless still

Which i don't know why it gained so much popularity

Not only it's not free officially but it's also worse than fsr3

[obsidian urchin]

I thought fsr was pretty decent dam

[frosty ruin]

I tried it in Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 and got very good results. Wasted potential of the RTX 3090 tbh

[frail topaz]

speak of the 3090, there are like 4 locally for $440

2 FE's, 1 MSI, 1 Gigabyte

[frosty ruin]

Now try to find a strix version

[steel umbra]

In comparison to dlss nowadays it's pretty far behind

Fsr 4 just chops fsr 3 in every almost* aspect

Expect for fsr4 being exclusive

[frosty ruin]

Proprietary stays proprietary

[vestal roost]

I am upgrading my motherboard today. Can i use my old sata ssd and hdd plug in a new motherboard? I have a windows installed in my sata ssd.

[steel umbra]

Sounds right, usa?

[frail topaz]

There is a strix for like 600

[frosty ruin]

Interesting in Germany they go for 1000€

[obsidian urchin]

Is lossless like this 3rd party application that scales with AI on any application?

[steel umbra]

Look outside ebay and fbmp

[frosty ruin]

Well I do

[steel umbra]

Basicly

[frosty ruin]

So the cheapest I could find on a other marketplace was 900€

It seems to be consistent in the 900-1000€ price range

Some go way above that but I guess that’s because of warranty expansion shit

Asus offers warranty expansions here

I wonder, is there a way to set static fan curve via nvidia-smi?

Can't figure out the command if it even exists

[lean flame]

i finally admitted it. i don't need to upgrade my pc, it's fine the way it is, i kept comparing myself to those d-bags who have Multi-thousand dollar PC's and i felt small and inadequate. but then i sat there and thought. i built my pc for the express purpose of browsing the web and what i call out of box gaming, i was never looking to run games at ultra settings i don't care for raytracing, my pc is built to how i like it and that's okay.

i'll build a new one when the one i have now eithe breaks or just stops working.

I'm grateful i even got to build my own pc.

[steel umbra]

You need a 5090 it is a must which you shouldn't resist even if it means bankruptcy or lost kidney

[lean flame]

but why though?

[odd marsh]

Agreed

[frail topaz]

Speak

[tidal geyser]

Cpu
Motherboard
Cooler
Ram
Especially ssd

[frail topaz]

whats wrong with a 9600x & B850?

[tidal geyser]

R5 7600 just use stock cooler or grab the cheapest tower cooler

[steel umbra]

I mean better than introducing baked ads

[tidal geyser]

Very overpriced

[frail topaz]

which one

[tidal geyser]

Both

[steel umbra]

350 no more

[frail topaz]

the 9600x is only like 220-230

[tidal geyser]

What is the r5 7600

[frail topaz]

& that was the cheapest B850 board out there, there were no B650's that were good enough

[frail topaz]

210

[tidal geyser]

Good enough?

[frail topaz]

for 10 bucks i dnot care

[tidal geyser]

Ok fine on that part

[teal sinew]

i think you can get a 9700X instead for a similar price if you shuffle some parts around

[steel umbra]

Is aliexpress too expensive for u

[teal sinew]

if not a lower price actually

[frail topaz]

not good enough, but all of them were either like mATX or random ass brands

[tidal geyser]

Also please do not get the p3

[steel umbra]

7700 can be gotten for under 200

[frail topaz]

Cant, import taxes, would make it go past 300

[steel umbra]

:bsod:

[frail topaz]

if i got a 7700 for 200, customs would make it go to 240, shipping would make it 260

and whatever else is involved here in albania

[tidal geyser]

Still nor sure about good enough part but unless you buy from ali all motherboards are by very trusted vendors

But something called the AORUS ELITE is nor the cheapest option

[hidden beacon]

all 4 of these are almost priced the same, are there big diferences between them?

[tidal geyser]

No

[sinful cobalt]

.

[rigid fjord]

translates as " living here, you get screwed over every way you look"

[tidal geyser]

And you need to go to bed it's 2am

[frail topaz]

Correct.

[loud veldt]

correction what can i get for selling it?

[tidal geyser]

Ans it's 1am for you

[steel umbra]

The difference is written exactly under here 🔽
|| $$$$$$$ vs $$$$$$$$+ vs $$$$$&$$$++ vs $$$&+$$$-$+$$$$$

[hidden beacon]

cannot fall asleep so planning my pc parts ;D

[tidal geyser]

Well uhm the same

[rigid fjord]

ptff, it's a little past yours

[frail topaz]

And i looked on every site in greece, and this was the cheapest good enough motherboard at least for my standards, all b650 (which there were 3 of), 2 were mATX and the other one was chinese

[loud veldt]

alr thx

[frail topaz]

im sourcing the gpu, cpu, mobo from greece and the other parts i already have here in my city

[tidal geyser]

Ngl was about to sleep but got a notification on discord

[rigid fjord]

disable discord push notifications

[tidal geyser]

What are those standards I wonder

[tidal geyser]

No this

[frail topaz]

at least 3 m.2,s at least 4 sata, wifi & bt and at least 1 usbc on the back

[rigid fjord]

disable push notifications

[tidal geyser]

It was not push

[tidal geyser]

Sooooo a b650 Eagle ax

[frail topaz]

yeah sure, not available.

[rigid fjord]

that's basically most b650's

[tidal geyser]

Skill issue

[frail topaz]

thats a skill issue that i earned

[tidal geyser]

What about the budget b650 from msi you like

[frail topaz]

being in albania sucks

[frail topaz]

whats wrong with the ram?

6400@CL32

[rigid fjord]

the b650 gaming plus you mean from msi

[tidal geyser]

6400mt

[hidden beacon]

would you make any changes to this?

[steel umbra]

Atleast your country is cool and not stinky like mine

[tidal geyser]

Mhm

[hidden beacon]

https://www.inet.se/datorbygge/b1646710/a

[frail topaz]

and whats so wrong ab that

[tidal geyser]

Most of it

[hidden beacon]

thats the part picker thing

[tidal geyser]

What is the rec speed for am5

[rigid fjord]

3 m.2 and 4 sata if i remember correctly

[frail topaz]

6k

[tidal geyser]

Do you think it's just random

[frail topaz]

but that was the only option i had lol, it was either 6400@CL32 2x16 OR 2x16 5800@CL40

[steel umbra]

Just buy 6000mt/s cl30 and run it at 6400 optionally, 6400 is not 100% guaranteed to run

At 1:1

[frail topaz]

id love to but i cant

[steel umbra]

At 1:2 it will run but your coffee will be spilled

[tidal geyser]

Welp dam will have to do and just set it to 6000 in bios

[frail topaz]

this is what albania does to a person

[rigid fjord]

downclock it to 6000 cl32 if the timings are good tbh

[frail topaz]

amd pls fix ur memory controllers 😭

[tidal geyser]

Anyways I will not do the blunder I did yesterday and go to bed before 3am

[tidal geyser]

Zen 6

[rigid fjord]

ptfff

[tidal geyser]

Already said that

[frail topaz]

we fucking hope

[tidal geyser]

No imc will better

[steel umbra]

The i/o of zen 4&5: har har no

[tidal geyser]

Har har

[frail topaz]

anything else that i should be worried about in my system?

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/i-sleep-now-ok-i-sleep-now-cat-i-sleep-now-i-sleep-now-cat-goodnight-cat-gif-17928145246381289815

[rigid fjord]

tbf, zen 4 to zen 5 is like zen to zen+

[frail topaz]

except the case i know its mATX and my mobo is ATX that was an error in pcpartpicker

[frail topaz]

goobnight

[steel umbra]

Yeah it's sadge

But atleast we have cheapo zen 4

[rigid fjord]

tbf i know of matx cases that can do atx

[frail topaz]

@rigid fjord im gonna have u take a look at it too https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NjKpRV

if u didnt see

anything else i should be worried ab, im guessing that cooler can handle the 9600x

[rigid fjord]

i'd change the cooler, cpu and ssd tbh

[frail topaz]

what would you go for

(my only option for a cooler aside from the nzxt is a GameMax)

[rigid fjord]

for the price your paying, an a620 se pro

[frail topaz]

boop

this one

the gamma 90 from gamemax or the nzxt

[sinful cobalt]

whatever is cheaper

[frail topaz]

same price

[sinful cobalt]

which nzxt

[steel umbra]

How costly are the import taxes for low value goods?

[frail topaz]

20% of the value of the product if the product is over $20 needs to be paid in customs, then theres shipping too

[teal sinew]

rip

i just put together an american retailer list that's better before reading that message

[frail topaz]

yeah i also had one before

[rigid fjord]

albania is like bosnia and serbia in being screwed for tech

[frail topaz]

bosnia and serbia and greece and macedonia are our neighbors so

[teal sinew]

upgraded to a 9700X, still have a rgb cooler, still have rgb ram, and put a better PSU while costing less, but it's useless to you: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RGXYh7

[frail topaz]

how much id love to get this

[teal sinew]

but if you can stretch to a 9700X by getting a cheaper board, cooler, and ram then i think that's worth it

it's nice to have 8 cores nowadays

[frail topaz]

this was the one i made https://pcpartpicker.com/user/itsmaclol69/saved/#view=ZWwCD3 (7700x was 200$ at the time now its back to 300)

[rigid fjord]

though doesn't look like hungary gets screwed as much for tech

[left dove]

no but they do get hungry sometimes

[frail topaz]

peyton hi

[left dove]

hi mac

[frail topaz]

nope hungary is fine

[trim barn]

just wondering has anyone ever heard of an ips monitor dying from sunlight ?

[left dove]

that'd cause something to overheat if its literally just out in the sun for a while

[frail topaz]

if u want an example, a rx 9070xt from XFX is 98000 ALL, which converts ro around 980US

[trim barn]

its indoors

[left dove]

then, no

if anything something on the scaler board died

not passive sunlight lmao

[left dove]

a backlight led gave out.

its a bottom-illuminated panel

[trim barn]

That’s what it is ?

[steel umbra]

Edgelit be like

[steel umbra]

Ur led ded

[left dove]

ayep

new panel time

[trim barn]

Guessing it’s not replaceable

[left dove]

no lmao

tinky, shut

[steel umbra]

Not worth it, you could

[left dove]

do not "um ackshually' me

[steel umbra]

I nuke house your

[left dove]

YOU DID ANYWAYS

[trim barn]

I was planning on upgrading to oled with money I’d get from this monitor so rip chat

[left dove]

to ewaste it goesssss

[steel umbra]

You can salvage the leds that haven't died 🤓

[left dove]

SHUT

[steel umbra]

Hmmmm what about no u ||uno reverse||

[sinful cobalt]

free split monitor

[trim barn]

damm

[sinful cobalt]

qhd 360hz oled user here

i bought mine for the quivalent of $490 freedom fighting units after taxes

[trim barn]

which one did you get ?

[latent gull]

cant believe your throwing away a perfectly good half of a semi functional panel

[trim barn]

i havent decided what to do with it

its a 4k panel and it looks great besides the dark streak on it now

[sinful cobalt]

alienware

they all basically used the same panel anyway so i got the cheapest on a deal

[steel umbra]

Exactly 😂

Me always right
Even when it comes to saving uhh one two three! Pennies

[latent gull]

the copper in that panel has to be worth... half a cent at least!

[sinful cobalt]

more than $1

[steel umbra]

Mayble you'll fine there some leftovers of gold and palladium!

[sharp ivy]

YEAHHH

Save every piece of material you find

and make another monitor out of it

[steel umbra]

There are actually industries that salvage gold from old electronics, usually pcbs

[sharp ivy]

Yes

[steel umbra]

I think one is on the us and it produces a kilo of gold per day? I forgor

[left dove]

cheese is based

love that shit

[tidal trail]

if a 5070ti is like $850-900 should i just try to get a 5080 for 1k?

[ember inlet]

shit's nasty af

I havent eaten it in over a decade

[mellow cairn]

That's certainly a take.

[sinful cobalt]

none of the above

[tidal trail]

then what other options do i have

[sinful cobalt]

9070XT

But ill wait the gpu crisis out

[tidal trail]

thats gonna be a while

[clear canyon]

In person tech stores is the best way to get a gpu

[sinful cobalt]

you can try for a basic 9070

[tidal trail]

wouldnt xt be the better option

[dawn tundra]

Uhhhhhhh https://youtu.be/itbsfeqrRY4?si=i0UE1Nx6HphqZt5S

[tidal trail]

yea but i dont even think they can avoid the insaen prices

[sinful cobalt]

true but u need to physically go there and check and not everyone has the time to do so

[tidal trail]

I would but im not near one at all

[sinful cobalt]

some places the XT is way more than just $50

[tidal trail]

that is true

made me consider a 5080 atp

[dawn tundra]

We're boned

[sinful cobalt]

Dont get a 5080, prices are like 1.1-1.3k rn

5070ti under $850 I’d take

[tidal trail]

thing is i dont see it going down anytime soon

esp with the tariffs

[sinful cobalt]

if u live in the US then yea ur pretty much fked

[tidal trail]

yup

i havent been keeping track but doesnt seem like the fe has even restocked since launch

[sinful cobalt]

it has just that the supply isnt as much as 40 series on launch

bcs nvidia purposely strangled the supply

[tidal trail]

sounds about right

[sinful cobalt]

the 40 series was produced abundantly

[tidal trail]

yet still insane prices even before the 5000 launch

[glad hound]

feels like they haven even realeased the 40 and went straight to 50 to me

[tidal trail]

same

i was hoping that 5000 series drop would make it easy to get a used 4080super

but i was completely wrong

[tardy jay]

Excuse me for my lack in knowledge, but what is this?

[dawn tundra]

Cve I think at least is pretty much the language that is used to secure and protect digital signatures I think and the funding for it for our national security is about to run out

[distant frigate]

“”I ask, why is it not working? And they say ‘something with the satellites,'" De La Cruz said.”

Lmao

[tardy jay]

Like everything uses it?

[dawn tundra]

Yeah

Soo uhh...

[tardy jay]

I’d assume they’d be in hot water for ending it

[dawn tundra]

🦴

[dawn tundra]

I don't think it happened on purpose

At least it doesn't seem that way

[distant frigate]

“Channel 5 News reached out to the company via email. AT&T said one of their cell sites has been having power issues, and that they’re working to fix it. Channel 5 News also asked AT&T when they expect customers to have service again, but we are still waiting to hear back.”

Power issues I doubt it lmao. Even if it’s true then that’s sad

[clear canyon]

I have AT&T and my service has been slow lol

[tardy jay]

So basically they lost funding?

[dawn tundra]

I think they forgot to renew the contract

[distant frigate]

Yeah I don’t like AT&T for their 5G

[dawn tundra]

Bc the funding is used up

[distant frigate]

AT&T has the lowest amount of 5G coverage compared to Verizon and T-Mobile

[tardy jay]

Well if that’s the truth, they better figure it out soon

[tardy jay]

Figured, I don’t really know anyone who uses At&T anymore

[dawn tundra]

I think it's going to happen no matter what

[tardy jay]

It’s best if I look into it

[distant frigate]

AT&T is deploying fiber for their home internet which is great but they should focus on their wireless network too.

[faint vector]

I was given a AMD A8 9600 anyone know what it could be used for in any sort of way since its pretty old and not super great

[solar moat]

do you need a server?

[faint vector]

depends i mainly host game servers off my main pc though what kinda stand alone servers could i host with it

[solar moat]

its ok i gess for that

by no means it fast but hay you dont need somthing fast for basic game servers

[faint vector]

i worked on someone's pc and they just said take the old cpu and i have no clue what could be done with it since i have like 970s 1050s and a old amd card around but if it could be useful for something that would be nice

[sinful cobalt]

Its stupid how ppl in my country are selling their used 4080 with little to no warranty left for the price of a NEW 5070Ti.

[solar moat]

old gpu's are not really useful like many old cpu's

[tidal trail]

wowww

[calm granite]

RAM caching is the bomb

[sinful cobalt]

They still are for flaming nvidia

[solar moat]

what time in PYPrime

[solar moat]

are you going to be gaming off old gpu in a server?

[random gyro]

my iems sound so ass with music

[spice grotto]

ViewSonic XG2536
or
MSI MAG 255PXF

I'm not able to find any information related to response rate that much, but is it gonna be better than BenQ XL2546?

[tardy jay]

Servers got those kind of gpu’s?

[calm granite]

what's that do

[solar moat]

its calcs prime number

[sinful cobalt]

my guy i said to flame nvidia not gaming did you even read what I said

[sinful cobalt]

What iem u usin

[random gyro]

linsoul something, they were cheap

finna buy new headphones soon when i get paid eventually

[sinful cobalt]

mf said “something” wtf

[sinful cobalt]

get truthear x crinacle zero blue 2

comfortable for me and good sound quality when I tried em

I was using the zero red

[solar moat]

wow thats on par with my system

[calm granite]

Not sure if this is a correct result, I've not configured anything

Is that good?

[solar moat]

well i got 4790k with some 1200mhz ddr3 idk what you got?

[calm granite]

I've got a 7600x with 5200mhz ddr5

[steel umbra]

but but memory has gotten more expensive! and it’s gddr7!

[sinful cobalt]

gddr7 realistically is only effective in higher resolutions lol

5080= 4080 super GDDR7 edition

[solar moat]

well your 1.5% faster then a 12 year old cpu

[steel umbra]

density has increased as well (serious mode)

[calm granite]

Lul

[solar moat]

overclock ram

[random gyro]

apple music sound enhancer makes music sound worse its funny asf

[steel umbra]

nvidia just skimps out on vram it’s whatever

[calm granite]

I've done xmp already

[sinful cobalt]

my 9070xt has been swimming in the ocean for 3 days

[steel umbra]

amd also skimped imo

16gb vram? that has been since rx 6800 /xt

[young crest]

VII

I would know

[sinful cobalt]

nah this gen was simply a catchup

16gb was all they needed

[steel umbra]

hmb boye

[sinful cobalt]

If they continue 16gb next gen we’re fked

[solar moat]

and?

[young crest]

Yessir

[steel umbra]

for now.

[solar moat]

send image of SPD

[steel umbra]

in the past we used to get more vram proportional to the previous generations and application demands in lower end skus

[young crest]

980 with 4gb

[steel umbra]

[keen lynx]

ye

[steel umbra]

we’ll ignore that, actually for the time it was enough

every time I remove my phone from my pocket it pulls out a new black strand from my pants

thanks dbrand

[long beacon]

anyone here a laptop guru?

[steel umbra]

@young crest do you know of any games that reached 3-4gb vram utilization in 2015 and earlier?

[long beacon]

Halo reach

[steel umbra]

shadow mordor and cod aw? maybe?

[long beacon]

halo reach and battlefield both took about 6gb on my end to run on highest settings

[young crest]

I’m not old enough to care about stuff like that

[long beacon]

bruh is you calling us old

[steel umbra]

is you

[long beacon]

@steel umbra can you believe this

[steel umbra]

idkn’t maybesn’t yesn’t

[long beacon]

980 was a fire card until 2017. could still run triple a games reliably at 60fps, the graphics mightve sucked but it ran it lmao

[young crest]

I was 9 in 2015

[long beacon]

thats crazy work

@steel umbra know anything about laptops? Im a desktop guy but needing a laptop on a budget for college

i want anything but chromebook

[wheat field]

What's Ur budget

[steel umbra]

no i’ve not invested much time into laptops but i can (probably) tell you how the naming convention goes for the amd cpu skus and such

[long beacon]

300 ish

[wheat field]

What do you need it to do

[steel umbra]

vivobook probably

[wheat field]

A piece of shit

[young crest]

get a buisness laptop with an 8th gen or newer Intel chip then throw an SSD in it assuming it doesn’t already have one

[steel umbra]

they have decent specs for the money

[long beacon]

ive been looking at refurbs

[wheat field]

Good idea

[steel umbra]

yeah, 300 will not likely get you an okay vivobook

[long beacon]

it's not anything tech related, my wife needs it for labs, she's going to nursing school

[steel umbra]

considering the cheap (decent) ones seem to be kinda out of stock

[long beacon]

i found like idea pads but most are chromebooks, i hate chrome os

[wheat field]

Go on some second hand thing and buy second hand

[steel umbra]

no more vivobook oled for 350

and not zen 2

[long beacon]

Chrome os: "let me limit you on everything in the same shell as literally all other androids"

[wheat field]

Is 300 the hard limit?

[long beacon]

roughly but not hard limit

[wheat field]

If you have 600 dollars to play with you could actually get her something usable

I was about to say 300 is more than enough and then remembered you're in the US

[long beacon]

i can spend more if really needed. But for the most part, im thinking 8gb ram, i5 would probably be more than enough for zoom and notes

[long beacon]

Temu laptop?

[steel umbra]

from where he’s from?

[long beacon]

misery

im from missouri

[wheat field]

What

[wheat field]

I live in China. You could get an actually decent laptop for like 300 bucks here second hand

[wheat field]

That'll do

I mean she's a nurse, right? Isn't that just note taking

[steel umbra]

are you sure

[wheat field]

For note taking and writing essays or whatever? Ya probably.

[long beacon]

notes, zoom.

[steel umbra]

it’s… a zen 2 cpu laptop refresh

[wheat field]

Ya, that'll be fine. That's what those are built for

[wheat field]

It's a piece of shit but it's not incapable

[long beacon]

she needs it to run outlook and record video ig

[wheat field]

Outlook is just emails...no?

I use thunderbird

it's excel and stuff like that

[wheat field]

Oh

You can get one for 400 dollars

shes a mac girly

[wheat field]

I mean, ya

It'll actually be pretty good

but tbh, i hate apple and their overpriced bs

[wheat field]

Ngl macs are super efficient

They kinda shine at shit like this

[long beacon]

ik

i hate it

[wheat field]

Why?

Macs are awesome. I picked up a MacBook Pro for my home lab

[steel umbra]

apple silicon is gud

[long beacon]

i just think apple is like cancer on the tech world lol

[steel umbra]

i don’t like samsung more than apple personally

[long beacon]

Don't get me started on samsung

[formal sonnet]

Can confirm. Is good value for money for basic home / office / document usage.

latitude seemed pretty good. Still debating it or mac

mac, i would buy thne lower storage and external ssd it tbh

[steel umbra]

ask if she wouldn’t mind having macos instead of windows or which one is more preferable

[long beacon]

she said "does not matter" j

she is reading this over my shoulder lol

she's had mac and windows both

we sold her mac when she dropped out a few years ago

ig i could get my alienware fixed

just needs new hd.

it's old tho, like 2016

[wheat field]

👍🏻

[long beacon]

ran fortnite at 30fps lol

eh that things thick as hell. Like queen latifa thick

[wheat field]

Ehhh

She's a med student. The Mac will do fine

There's a reason college kids have macs. If she really wants it and it's within the budget, why not? The latitude is the better choice tho

[long beacon]

ordered the mac, thank you. I know the latitude is better, but as a beatmaker, i wanna try logic pro x so bad lmao

i've been on fl studio for 10 yrs, always been on windows so i never bothered but i want to soooo bad.

[wheat field]

Just emulate it

[long beacon]

i could but thats why i havent bothered, i have symlinks and my file systems all messed up. Installing emulators is a bitch

this is my first pc, all ive done is learned not to use sym links and how to upgrade pc lol

i bought a b450 so i could upgrade for a while, but even that is getting kinda outdated it seems

[calm granite]

What could cause such a low score?

Compared to how I'd imagine a 12 year newer CPU is supposed to perform

[solar moat]

mosty crap ram

[calm granite]

that's a bummer

[sinful cobalt]

imma try to find a 7540 typa laptop

[solar moat]

worse run with 7600x i seen submitted to site i use is 14.273s and thats out of 70 runs most are under 12

[calm granite]

is this a problem or is it just not a competitive score

should I be worried 😂

[solar moat]

well it sounds form that one benchmark SLOW

[calm granite]

Did the SPD tell you snything

[solar moat]

well you got micron ram

and i was mostly looking at the profiles

[calm granite]

could it be performing poorly because I'm using Primocache for RAM caching?

[solar moat]

maybe if that was eating cpu time

[solid trail]

Hello, I have a WD5tb hard drive that dropped and started making noises, so I decided to open the External Hard Drive and I placed the Head back to the orignal position and I booted it up on my computer and now its running and shows on file exployere but can't acess files and shows on disk manager but its says its uninitialized. What can I do to recover the data on the hard drive without formating. Would love some help, please and thank you!

Does anyone also know if Disk Drill is Safe?

[formal sonnet]

If the data is important to you, send it to a professional data recovery service. If the data is not important, you can try Disk Drill or Runtime Software's GetDataBack, or the free TestDisk recovery program.

Is Disk Drill Safe tho?

[thorn pewter]

if you gamble on it

[solid trail]

I found 1 partion with TestDisk

[lapis bay]

need help. where does this go into?

my mb is b650 gaming x ax v2

[sinful cobalt]

looks like pwm

[formal sonnet]

Impossible to answer without knowing what's connected to the other end. It might be a PWM fan connector, or an RGB connector, but it might also detonate the bomb in the back of your case. 🤷

[swift moss]

DID NOT know you could do that with command line

[limber nacelle]

but. blender is already foss

[swift moss]

i know lol

its a cheap github rat

[limber nacelle]

oh lol

[lapis bay]

the right picture is the rgb connector from my front fans (preinstalled by h5 nzxt) and the second photo (left) is rgb connector from nzxt f120 rgb

[azure topaz]

explode

[stuck condor]

I swapped out my old gpu for a new one and now it’s giving me this error, anyone know the correlation?

[limber nacelle]

I'm dumb and tired 😭

eventful ass day

gotta wake up early and do the same tomorrow

[random gyro]

Even Mini LED tvs arent perfect with their Backlight, right? I am watching some dirty Screen effect detection Videos on YouTube and while the Tv Looks very good in General, I can see 2 horizontal lines during very bright, even scenes. Especially noticable in Anime and Cartoons. When the camera goes Up or down in bright scenes. I guess for perfect uniformity it still needs an OLED

[stuck condor]

Oled is the way

[random gyro]

I Just don't know If its Just a Bad Panel and i should replace it, or If its pretty normal

[slow sedge]

Anyone with an s24 ultra on telus gotten one ui 7 yet?

[grizzled nova]

You could incorporate the new rog x870e apex into it

[solar moat]

dont egt that ram its going be so slow

ok get 2x64GB

yes and good luck running 5200

100% your not running ddr5 6600

well 2dpc sucks HARD on ddr5

allso 7600 offen slower then ddr5 6000 on 7000/9000 cpus

[lapis bay]

I got the rig up and running, I moved my old boot drive to my new pc. It is up. How should I remove old, unnecessary drivers?

[solar moat]

2dpc is way harder to run for resons
and duel rank is harder awell but its not that bad
and 2:1 sucks and limit in ideal ram config on ryzen 7000/9000 is offen around 6000 to 6400 for 1:1

[lapis bay]

No? Doesn't answer my question. It works fine for my purposes, and I had no intent of buying a new drive if my old one works just fine.

[solar moat]

well its more like way pay more for way shity/slower ram

2x32GB of duel ranl h16a at 6000 to 6400 depending on where cpu caps out

idk how got hynix 32Gb ram is or any 32Gb ram to be fair
and h24m is best option if wanting 96GB

[solar moat]

reinstall windsoe

[lapis bay]

🗿 I just asked how I could remove old, unnecessary drivers. Everything is working fine, I'm removing them just so I don't have future conflicts. Found a software that might help, ghostbusters.

[solar moat]

reinstall OS

[lapis bay]

I'll just do it my way, and if it doesn't work, I'll just reinstall. Made backups of files. But I do NOT care to spend time doing smth that already works.

[severe kraken]

What's up with Video Card prices atm? Was considering picking up a midrange card (3060/4060) for an ITX build I had in mind and holy cow prices have gone through the roof, on everything. Nvidia, AMD, Intel, all of them are like double MSRP. Has all the older stock just completely dried up?

[solar moat]

TSMC cant make more

[severe kraken]

I understand that production has stopped, but didn't think stock would just vanish as well.

[solar moat]

it has not stoped they cant keep up they been at 100% for over a year trying to keep up

[severe kraken]

Crazy...

[solar moat]

since intel/amd/nvida all using the same waffers

[thorny saddle]

what do you plan on doing with this build

Oh you just maxed out everything to see

So you don't actually plan to build that right

[severe kraken]

Well, you could increase the RAM volume. I'd drop down to 2 sticks vs running 4 sticks tho, assuming you were actually going to build this. Also, that monitor is trash, other than perfect color accuracy, complete garbage. It's like paying 3 grand for the picture but no features.

[thorny saddle]

there's no chance that system is getting built

how is it a fire hazard

[solar moat]

5090

[thorny saddle]

lol that's ridiculous

No, people who don't plug cables in melt cables

I have somehow had 6+ 4090s and a 5090 and never had a melty cable, weird.

[severe kraken]

The number of cables that have melted is way less than people try to hype it up to be... caught fire is even less likely.

[thorny saddle]

Its pretty silly

[solar moat]

yes but still the 12VHP spec is sill shit since we had a good cable before

[severe kraken]

Is it a risk, sure, but I wouldn't say it's any more likely that you cable melts than your GPU just starts artifacting for no reason.

[severe kraken]

All very true. I loved the WAN show where Linus joked about using his RC cables on a card, and then the followup video where he actually did it.

[thorny saddle]

There are like < 1% of cases of melting cables

There are far more electrical devices with faults than 5090s

[solar moat]

yes but still a bad connceter

[thorny saddle]

OK so invent a better one I dunno

[solar moat]

or just use the good one we had

[severe kraken]

There are better ones.

[thorny saddle]

3x8-pin is so large

[severe kraken]

So?

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/blwSX.gif

[thorny saddle]

So, it means PCBs are larger and wiring bulk is more

[severe kraken]

You could match your motherboard ATX cable with your sleeving lol.

[thorny saddle]

Why revert, because a few people can't plug their shit in?

[solar moat]

so your saying reomen cant plug in cable?

[thorny saddle]

I have had 3090/3090 Ti, 7900XTX, and 9070 XT with 3 x 8-pin and its annoying and bulky as shit

[thorny saddle]

I think you mean Roman but he uses 12vhpwr that have seen prob 500+ insertions

His didn't melt he just had it getting hot

[sinful cobalt]

total amt of shits it took the past 3 days: 13

[thorny saddle]

Really? My B580 experience was good

Other than it being a little underpowered

yeah what bulk lol

[severe kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/cthulhu-rises-cutulubr-gif-18245094

[thorny saddle]

As if the GPUs didn't already break PCIe connectors, lets hang 42 lbs of cables off it

[sinful cobalt]

other than 1 random crash it keeps freezing in HSR, dk y

i originally thought it was cuz it was hitting 2850mhz from my 5070ti uv settings

[thorny saddle]

5090 with 3x8-pin

[severe kraken]

I still need to get my hands on one of the intel cards one of these days, take one for a test drive. Still haven't done that yet.

[sinful cobalt]

highk Im getting a 6090 only if it gets 2x12v higher danger connectors

[thorny saddle]

Have you owned a 3x 8pin GPU?

[sinful cobalt]

i got 3x8pin cables ready for my 9070xt

im just waiting for it to arrive

[thorny saddle]

Yeah so... its bulky as shit

Should prob experience it and then give your take

A lot of cases with grommets can't even fit the cables thru the mobo tray

[severe kraken]

I'm pretty sure that the 3090 could be powered with 2x 8-pin even if it was a 3x card.

[azure topaz]

no

[severe kraken]

Just had to plug one in direct, then use an 8-pin to dual 8-pin cable.

[azure topaz]

...

so you plug in all 3 cables...

[severe kraken]

I'm almost positive I saw someone do it on one of the tech forums.

[azure topaz]

just... with a splitter....

[sinful cobalt]

if they did that people are gonna slap a single 8pin pigtail on there bruh

and then boom

[azure topaz]

[severe kraken]

Found it... Jacob Freeman (EVGA) did it. lol https://x.com/GeForce_JacobF/status/1308222385347149824

Jacob Freeman (@GeForce_JacobF) on X

Late night upgrades. The EVGA stream rig is getting ready 😃

X · Sep 22, 2020, 1:51 AM

It worked because the 3090 was a 350w card, so it would take 150w from the 2 cables (300w) + the extra from the pci-e slot. You just needed all 3 power connectors populated. So using a splitter would work.

Obviously not ideal, because the card can overdraw power. Hence why 3x 8-pin was standard.

[cedar ice]

Bulk, what's that?

Also i love my 9070xt it's amazing (I play on 1080p lol)

[severe kraken]

This is what happens when your cables aren't brushing and flossing after every meal.

[cedar ice]

I genuinely tried to cable manage, but my cooler is too big, and there are just too many cables coming through

[severe kraken]

Did you have to come over the top? Small case and no room under the fans?

[cedar ice]

Uh

It actually looks so bad lmfao

[severe kraken]

Haha spaghetti cables everywhere.

[cedar ice]

Might actually take it apart and cable manage it all

Welp

[severe kraken]

Could you go this way with them?

[clear canyon]

I agree, the cable management is complete ass

[hexed tapir]

Cable Management is overrated

[clear canyon]

your cookies are underrated

😡

[severe kraken]

This really bothers me... I'm getting anxiety just looking at it.

[clear canyon]

thats actually how its suppose to be

that improves temps
