[clear canyon]

study done by noctua

linus mentioned it in a vid

[severe kraken]

That's so weird.

Well whatever, enough critiquing. Definitely see if you can manage your 8-pins through that slot in the front tho. Those flat cables (hate them) can be a mess but it's doable.

[clear canyon]

the entire pc is a mess

[sinful cobalt]

i have a friend having xtx in 1080p dw

another guy has a i9 13900k and a 4080

also in 1080p

im just driving a b580 in 1440p while waiting for 9070xt

[hushed tapir]

i have a 14900k and a 3080 and i play in 1080p

[severe kraken]

I rock a 9900k and 4070 at 1440p with no problems at all.

[clear canyon]

why have these specs but play at 1080p?

[grave fjord]

Need a laptop with Linux drivers support and OLED screen. Which brand to go for?

[sinful cobalt]

rich ppl experimental shit

[hushed tapir]

bro needs 700fps for minecraft

[clear canyon]

my main pc has a 7800x3d and a 4080 thats OCed with 100mhz on core and 1000mhz on memory

[severe kraken]

If you're using a 3080 for 1080p i hope you're at least running esports games on a high refresh monitor lol.

[sinful cobalt]

wouldnt u be better off getting a oled laptop and trying to boot it off another ssd

[sinful cobalt]

3080 is kinda next on the list considering 10gb is next on the chopping board

[grave fjord]

Without native drivers, the battery life would suck. Facing that problem running Asahi Linux on MacBook Pro M1.

[clear canyon]

its not the worst thing, at least its not 8gigs

[sinful cobalt]

3080 imo the definition of not enough fine tuning to handle the horsepower

[hushed tapir]

im looking at upgrading my 3080 for a 9070xt just for the vram

[sinful cobalt]

for 10gb cards

[severe kraken]

I'm kinda worried that my 12gb on my 4070 won't be enough in a couple years. Games are already pulling 10+ at 4k... Only a matter of time now.

[clear canyon]

why vram? whatcha doin?

[sinful cobalt]

try indiana jones thats more than 10

[clear canyon]

1440p can too

[severe kraken]

I haven't ran into anything that uses my 12gb at 1440p... But I haven't played indiana jones either lol.

[hexed tapir]

We count chromebooks as Linux right

[hushed tapir]

mainly for the games that are gonna require raytracing in the future. games are starting to require more vram and occasionally i hook my pc up to my 4k tv

[clear canyon]

fair

[severe kraken]

More or less. Isn't chrome OS linux based anyway?

[rapid quarry]

Some Lenovo thinkpad models come preinstalled with Linux

[hushed tapir]

im also looking to upgrade my 1080p monitor to a 1440p ultrawide

[hexed tapir]

Indubitably

[rapid quarry]

Technically yes.
Tomato is a fruit but you don’t put it in a fruit salad

[severe kraken]

Fair enough.

[severe kraken]

That said, Linux based is such a broad term, so it's probably dumb to even use it.

[grave fjord]

I do not necessarily need pre installed Linux. I just need the drivers readily available.

[sonic canopy]

What's the best cheap 1440p 144hz monitor? In italy

[clear canyon]

ask ai

[junior valve]

4070 isnt a 4k card

[rapid quarry]

I’d recommend just picking up any all AMD system and loading up Linux then.

[severe kraken]

I didn't say it was. I was just saying that games are pushing high vram at 4k, eventually that'll trickle down.

[junior valve]

then its 4090 territory

[severe kraken]

On a side note tho, my girlfriend games just fine at 1440p with her 2060, just has to turn down some graphics details in some games. But you'd be surprised how well a 2060 handles 2k gaming if you can give up some texture quality.

[cedar ice]

Tried my best

[junior valve]

780ti can do beamng at 1440p

[junior valve]

flip the first top fan

[cedar ice]

Apparently it improves temps

^

[sonic canopy]

It gave me the AOC Q27G2U/BK

[clear canyon]

now look up reviews of it on yt

[severe kraken]

That already looks way better. Just make sure they don't hit your intake fan at the front.

[sonic canopy]

Alr did they say it's a good budget 1440p

[cedar ice]

Yup alot of clearance

[sonic canopy]

So I guess thtas the one

[clear canyon]

yep

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

[cedar ice]

Thanks for making me semi fix my cable management

[sharp cargo]

Does anybody know a good soldering station?

[severe kraken]

The rest of the cables are all of your fans... What I always do is orient the fans so the cables stick out to the back side of the case so I can route them behind the motherboard tray. If you can get the cables behind the tray, you'll get rid of all the spaghetti mess.

[frigid blade]

Bro what GPU is that

[cedar ice]

9070xt

[rapid quarry]

I do but not with me and definitely not going to be of use for you

[frigid blade]

Why does it take 3 8 pin connectors

[cedar ice]

Yup that's a "later" thing

[cedar ice]

It pulls 363w with spikes upto 417w

Man idk I just bought it

[frigid blade]

The 4090 has a single 8 pin and pulls up to 450 tho, that’s why I’m wondering

But I guess that’s why we get fried cables

[cedar ice]

Uh

It has a 12pinHW connector

Not a single 8 pin

[severe kraken]

Cards are usually designed so they can pull 100% of power through the cables. It's a 304w card stock, so 150+150 wouldn't cut it, gotta pack a 3rd one in there. Even tho the card can pull 75w from the pci-e slot, they consider that for overcurrent.

[frigid blade]

Oh yah I just checked

Thats still twice as many tho lol

[junior valve]

it uses 1 12vhwp that terminates to 4x 8pins

[frigid blade]

Yummy

Glad I haven’t had this issue yet

[severe kraken]

Some PSU maker, forget which one just designed their cables so the plug part is some ugly orange color so that people know if the cable isn't in all the way.

[frigid blade]

Why don’t they just do this, much easier

[sinful cobalt]

The designers after some says this and uses a pigtail for a 2x8 pin card (Thats the fucking reason why they did 3x8 pin)

[sinful cobalt]

not enough

[rapid quarry]

Nah. More optimal

[junior valve]

this one has 2x 12vhwp which is 8x 8pin connectors

[sinful cobalt]

what card is that

[junior valve]

4090 hof

[cedar ice]

Wtf card is that

[severe kraken]

That's entertaining, in your typical home that would be either 15A or 20A so you're looking at 3600 to 4800 watt capacity there.

[rapid quarry]

Niktek spotted 👀

[junior valve]

5060ti

[cedar ice]

Ayo

[sinful cobalt]

actually rare W galax design

[rapid quarry]

Why did you do that to yourself?

[junior valve]

upgrade from the 4080

[sinful cobalt]

fuck the strix and suprim, galax somehow stomps them with hof

[severe kraken]

I might have to go with a 5060 or 5060 ti if I want to actually build my mini build I was planning. Damn stock and prices of everything else is insane atm.

[junior valve]

8

[rapid quarry]

5070=4090 so that tracks

[hexed tapir]

Ew

[formal sonnet]

Only if I commit Electrical code violations to combine my split-phase 120V power delivery system into a properly designed true 240V system. Otherwise, I'm limited to 1800-2400W on a single circuit.

[frigid blade]

Are we talking no frame gen?

[sinful cobalt]

well done 5060ti 16g is going for $800 SGD

[junior valve]

sold this 4090 for that 5060ti

[sinful cobalt]

im stealing this picture to confuse my friends

[rapid quarry]

Yes totally. You have the Jensen seal of “The more GPUs you buy, the more you save.”

[cedar ice]

Doesn't a north American 15a plug max out at 1800w?

[sinful cobalt]

i will spam this for every 5060ti related comment

[formal sonnet]

Yup. Technically. Would have to be a 20A plug to reach 2400W.

[cedar ice]

Ohhhhhhh

Wait what do those clothes dryer ones run at im sure you can pull some juice from them

[rapid quarry]

240v

With the Heaven Plug

[cedar ice]

Yeah I'm never understanding the power grid o7

How does one get 240v when the house is getting 120v is it really just 120v + 120v = 240v?

[rapid quarry]

“Technology Connections” has a good video explaining this

[cedar ice]

Ooo i like that guy makes good videos

[frigid blade]

My father got happy that he’ll be able to have a second breaker for the garage to run his equipment

[clear canyon]

ask santa

[rapid quarry]

https://youtu.be/jMmUoZh3Hq4?si=xj97j-zrTwGrLjCB

[frigid blade]

Is it not standard to have both 120 and 240 in the US now?

[rapid quarry]

Yes. That’s his point

[clear canyon]

240 is for shops like welders

[frigid blade]

Ah

We recently installed 2 breakers, both have 240, one is the main and the other is for the garage that’s why I’m wondering

I’m not an electrician so I don’t know more than that

Had electrical inspection today and it didn’t pass because of 1 thing

Forgot gfci outlets for the kitchen

[severe kraken]

All I know is my new air fryer I bought for my camper is gonna be stressing my wiring pretty good. 120v 15amp outlets... 1500w air fryer. Probably gonna have to turn the lights off to use it. But it comes with a cooking light, so should be good.

[frigid blade]

Watchu guys think

[rapid quarry]

Get that Violin to a safe space

[frigid blade]

Hahaha, we were singing before this picture and my dad was playing

He put it away after that

[severe kraken]

Looks okay if you're okay with turning around every time you take something out of the oven.

[frigid blade]

Mother planned the kitchen to her liking

We finally saved up enough money to move out of our home after 18 years of living here

[true stirrup]

You might need some more flooring

[frigid blade]

The flooring you can see a bit on the bottom left

[formal sonnet]

Personally, I'd rather the sink be in the island when it's that big, but also, that would require a whole separate set of plumbing planning when the house was originally constructed, so I understand why this was likely not done.

[severe kraken]

Designing functional kitchens is extremely difficult. You really have to take every single appliance and think what your next step would be.

[frigid blade]

We completely renovated the place, all the interior walls went down

We could’ve done that probably

[formal sonnet]

This is why I require my partner have at least 500 hours of PlateUp! before we embark on any kitchen rennos.

[rapid quarry]

My family has an Island on wheels. A DIY project and a pain to make but it works well

[frigid blade]

It took us months yah

Literally drew the layout on that wall a bunch of times until my mom liked it 😂

Better photo

Almost 2 years into the process

Allowed me to run whatever wiring I wanted across the house

So there’s conduit everywhere

[rapid quarry]

[formal sonnet]

Your kitchen appears to be haunted. 👻

[rapid quarry]

I’d say a bit sus

[frigid blade]

Hah, sorry. Mom doesn’t want to be shown on the internet and I don’t want to show my little sis either

[formal sonnet]

No no, that's quite alright. You keep your kitchen ghosts to your self. Ensure they make some Tiramisu.

[severe kraken]

Undeniable proof that ghosts live amongst us.

[rapid quarry]

That’s clearly an among us crewmate

[frigid blade]

The fun part during this entire process was the demo

I mean we literally took down everything on the inside

But had to wear tight masks for the entire process

[hexed tapir]

I want to see your mom

[severe kraken]

This is all his wife would give him for a man cave obviously.

[frigid blade]

That was from the previous owner I think

Had a bunch of RF stuff in there

Left us a 15 foot antenna mast but took down the one I wanted, was like 50 feet

Had guy wires and everything

But, I guess you don’t wanna leave that up when you sell the house

[hexed tapir]

Where is the cooktop

[frigid blade]

#tech-chat-1 message

[hexed tapir]

Ah I see

[frigid blade]

Induction

Very cool, means that everything under that is empty and you can use that space

[severe kraken]

Yeah, induction is good stuff. Heats super fast.

[frigid blade]

It’s definitely an upgrade, we lived in this town for so long. If it wasn’t for Covid we would never make enough money to move out

[solar moat]

well that shoud be able to do 4.8KW so easy

[hexed tapir]

Upgrade your range hood with a GE screen one 😆

[rapid quarry]

My family has induction. Really nice. Some pots and pans are no compatible but adapters are plenty

[frigid blade]

Yah, I told my mother that we have to test each one with a magnet now

[frigid blade]

Oh the hood is very small

I don’t think it could fit a screen

[severe kraken]

I'd use it to binge watch Archer or something and burn my eggs. Every time.

[frigid blade]

I wish I had a video of the demo

[formal sonnet]

Just sledge hammer to each wall over and over

Tiring work, don’t know how people do it for a living

[rapid quarry]

Something like this for those that don’t work https://a.co/d/8caqOwu

[hexed tapir]

Big savings

[frigid blade]

Anyway, that’s why I’m building the homelab

Because I had full control of the networking in the house

I set it up perfectly

[severe kraken]

Those things barely work. Take the money you'd spend on buying that and just buy induction cookware.

[rapid quarry]

They barely work because of how much faster true induction is. No joke

[frigid blade]

And that’s where my setup photo came from

Piano stand ftw

[sinful cobalt]

W setup

[severe kraken]

I went to college too.

[frigid blade]

Oh man, the uni setup will be even worse

Probably just a mattress and laptop

[severe kraken]

In uni you were forced to get creative.

[hexed tapir]

Dual keyboard setup

[rapid quarry]

This is my setup rn just add the ups I recently added and it’s accurate

Yes that is my dorm closet

[frigid blade]

I started learning to cook recently because I know I’ll be going to uni

After doing the math, it saves hella money

[rapid quarry]

Be sure you have a quickly and easily accessible kitchen because that can change depending on your dorm even at the same University.

[severe kraken]

Also a dual keyboard setup.

[frigid blade]

Might have to rent an apartment tbh, between 4 people, it came out cheaper than 2 person dorms

[frigid blade]

I like this, it’s clean

[true stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-gif-18865199

[true stirrup]

W

[rapid quarry]

I cleaned off my papers for the shot but yeah.

[severe kraken]

I'd have to spend like 20 minute cleaning to take a shot of my setup. It's messy.

[frigid blade]

I can’t wait for the setup to show you guys once it’s finished with the VMs

It’s gonna be super sick and unique

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have the computer autism because it makes me do complicated things like this

But it ends up being super cool

[severe kraken]

My house is relatively clean, I don't leave trash laying around, bags put away, everything hung up... But my gaming space is always a mess. Never fails.

I could clean it right now, and it will be messy tomorrow.

[rapid quarry]

15+ Great Demon Machete. Literally trivializes a lot of fights. (And I was one or two handing the thing for extra damage)

[frigid blade]

It’s the same for me, even if it would save my life I can’t keep it clean longer than a few days before I have to clean up again

Cables always end up tangled everywhere

It’s better now that I don’t keep my parts in the room though, had 20 laptops sitting on the drawer

[true stirrup]

I still need to finish Bloodborne then I'm going to go play DS1, DS2, DS3 and Sekiro in that order

[frigid blade]

Very shitty laptops, I’m not rich, they were made 14 years ago

But they run windows 11 smooth sooooo, yah

[severe kraken]

Cables haha, my girlfriend and I have side by sides... except we figured out that I like one side more, so... My monitor sits by her tower, and her monitor by my tower, so all of our cables cross in between the monitors.

[frigid blade]

My gf told me if we’re going to live together, the setups can be in the same room, but I need my own room to hang out in all day when we aren’t together because she doesn’t want ours messy

[rapid quarry]

I haven’t beaten Elden Ring. Got started off with a dex build but it somehow fell off for me. Currently playing through 9 Sols and that game is both really hard and really fun.

[frigid blade]

[severe kraken]

Sounds to me like permission to have two gaming setups.

[frigid blade]

Exactly!

Man cave

[true stirrup]

Let's just say I have played quite a bit of Elden Ring
Also I'm currently doing a randomizer run

[frigid blade]

I wish I found Elden ring fun

It looks cool, but for some reason I don’t enjoy it

[severe kraken]

Always nice knocking out those last few achievements.

[frigid blade]

I’ve started grinding chivalry 2

[true stirrup]

How far did you get?

[frigid blade]

Not far enough to know anything

[thin plover]

I tried elden ring but the bosses were just too hard so I quit

[rigid fjord]

money, that's how and why

[true stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-urge-resist-cat-gif-25536160

[rapid quarry]

Simultaneously, I also picked up Battle Block Theater and that rubs my itch for a goofy platformer

[frigid blade]

I know, my dad does it for a living, was more of a rhetorical question

[thin plover]

I cba to learn the move pattern of every boss, especially in the beginning of the game already

[frigid blade]

I might have to start doing carpentry tho

I saw the rates they make now on the higher end houses

Fucking crazy

[severe kraken]

Last game I completed for achievements was fallout 4... Finally got em all. There's like 5 endings in that game lol.

[true stirrup]

You just automatically learn how to dodge the boss correctly after a couple attempts of dying

[thin plover]

uhh no I quit after dying like 15 times

[frigid blade]

I can’t do that, idk if it’s adhd or something, but if I’m not automatically good at a game I give up

[thin plover]

I was doing a co-op playthrough with a friend who has finished the game and we both kept dying

[frigid blade]

Except for war thunder, as much as I suck at it, and continue to suck and rage quit, I find myself opening the game back up after a few minutes 😂

[true stirrup]

15 is nothing lol

[thin plover]

I'm not gonna do the same fight over and over again to just fail every time

[frigid blade]

Maybe you need better armor and stuff

[true stirrup]

Yeah I understand
Soulsborne games are not fun to everyone

[thin plover]

it was like the second or third boss in the game

[rapid quarry]

My route through Elden Ring is, odd to say the least. I reached Volcano Manor before beating Rahdan

[frigid blade]

I’ve just started playing a bunch of games that are nostalgic to me

[true stirrup]

I mean technically you never have to fight Radahn

[thin plover]

yeah I prefer grinding stuff like Minecraft instead of attempting a boss fight over and over

[frigid blade]

Stronghold Crusader

Wood needed

Wood stocks are too low sire

[rapid quarry]

Yeah but the enemies are clearly designed for you to have already beaten him. I just galloped on by

[frigid blade]

Anyway, what mini pc do you guys recommend just for streaming a vm desktop to a monitor?

[rapid quarry]

M1 Mac mini

[frigid blade]

I was thinking something with the 780m, they can go for $350

[rigid fjord]

tbh, you can make an easy exp machine in minecraft so that you never have to grind

[thin plover]

yeah but still need the materials for all the farms

[true stirrup]

When I was doing my up to NG+4 run to complete all achievements I just skipped Radahn every time
It's much faster to just beat Godrick and Renalla

[frigid blade]

Expensive

I’ll never pay for an Apple computer other than the one I hold in my hand

Overpriced

I don’t get people who upgrade to the newest model as soon as it comes out either

What a waste of money

[severe kraken]

Pretty sure the M4 mini can play cyberpunk

Not full detail obviously.

[rapid quarry]

Already beat those 2

[frail delta]

Why is it so low?

Would you not hit your head on it

[stoic nova]

Non ironic lack of self awareness double standard

What a bro

[rapid quarry]

I’ll defend it due to the fact that his family is most likely also on iPhones

[stoic nova]

True

I pulled that kinda stunt and to me felt like flipping the bird to all that stuffn

Getting my mom to use Whatsapp to replace FaceTime is still an ongoing struggle

[frigid blade]

No actually my family uses all Android 🤣

[severe kraken]

I tell my mom to just text or call me so I don't have to spend 20 hours teaching her how to use a new app. As far as tech goes, little is better than more.

[dusky crest]

Dear me out, 5060 and 5060 ti 8gb msrp is not half bad
Except they will cost twice if not trice that

[frigid blade]

Well, what do we mean by family

Because my parents are the only ones in the extended family who use Android, everyone else is iPhone

[dusky crest]

Aren't we all in the same family according to that one book?

[frail delta]

Whatever you class as family

[severe kraken]

I mean, they don't even have cards to send out for reviewers to write reviews about, I have a feeling supply issues will be a problem.

[frigid blade]

Household is majority Android, extended family is majority iPhone

Should be fine as long as you make sure it’s all dried right?

[rapid quarry]

Can confirm. Room temp now

[severe kraken]

I've seen people wash PC parts before and they work after drying just fine. I think the idea is don't wash it if it's still plugged in lol.

[dusky crest]

That's just the cooler

Symbian os

[frigid blade]

Btw I paid like $300 for my iPhone, parents paid $800 each for their androids, my point on wasting money still stands

[late pelican]

whats a solid cpu air cooler ? thats also quite. for now it would be cooling a 5700x3d. but will be upgrading hopefully soon. was thinking about the be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3 Black.

[frigid blade]

It’s much easier to budget when you build your own PC compared to apple computers

[rapid quarry]

https://youtube.com/shorts/0Ohl5_aembQ?si=VuSPwUTyyGE5Ou6B

[thin plover]

technically yes but if the water dries up it could leave minerals behind that could short stuff

[frigid blade]

Can confirm this works

[severe kraken]

Honestly, I'm a fan of the Thermalright Assassin 120 SE. Should be more than enough for a 5700x3d

[frigid blade]

I need a new phone

My 12 mini is on its last breath

I bought it cuz I wanted a small phone but the battery life is so shit

[rapid quarry]

Just replaced the screen of my 12 mini yesterday

[frigid blade]

And it runs horrible on iOS 18

17 was so much easier on it

[rapid quarry]

I noticed the opposite ironically

[dapper light]

Family all uses android here too
Well, dad is on iphone, 3 on samsung including me, and one outlier on oppo.

[frigid blade]

Reminds me of the argument from a few days ago, dude said replacing an iPhone screen with LCD instead of OLED wasn’t noticeable to a regular consumer cuz he was gonna sell it

[frigid blade]

Maybe it’s because I was on unoptimized beta versions?

But still, I can feel the phone get sluggish

[rapid quarry]

Probably yeah.

[frigid blade]

I would convince my parents to switch, but I don’t feel like it’s worth the hassle

They’re not the most tech savvy so I don’t think switching them now would help when they’re so used to their devices

[rapid quarry]

When it’s slow for me it’s cellular or crap wifi

[frigid blade]

Nah I mean slow like

It’s not running 60FPS

It will get so sluggish you can see the frames being slow

Even in the Home Screen

But not a lot, I just notice is sometimes and get annoyed

It gets bad in power saving mode tho

Anyway

I wish I bought some of those drives when they were in stock

[rapid quarry]

What is your battery capacity? That could be the reason

[frigid blade]

$180 for 20TB enterprise drives, I’ve been thinking about it the last 2 days, missed opportunity

[frigid blade]

78, but it’s been around 80 ever since I bought it, it’s second hand but I’ve only felt the issues recently

[rapid quarry]

Get it replaced

[frigid blade]

I’ve had it for maybe 2 or 3 years now

Thinking about upgrading to the cheaper 16e second hand

Then I won’t have to worry for a while

[frigid blade]

I would like to, but don’t have apple care or anything like that

Maybe T-Mobile has a trade in deal tho

[rapid quarry]

Find a solid third party repair shop.

[severe kraken]

Peerless Assassin would be better, but the single tower should be fine.

[frigid blade]

Have thought about it, but didn’t look into it after thinking about just buying a new one

[rapid quarry]

It’s not a screen so it is very much within the value of the phone

[frigid blade]

Maybe I’ll try Android again

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-god-bless-you-with-moutains-of-gold-and-sliver-gif-10590472142309490651

[frigid blade]

It’s been almost a decade since I had one

[frail topaz]

do so

[rapid quarry]

New is massively more expensive. A battery replacement is 50 ish bucks where I am for my phone

[dusky crest]

Yeah, but there are androids new for under 200 bucks, not iphones tho

[rapid quarry]

No duh on the iPhone part

[dusky crest]

Eh, i want a phone that's like almost 4 grand (€)

[frigid blade]

Yikes

[warped burrow]

hello people hope you doing good...i come here asking for some advice on motherboards for 9950x3d and 5090 what do you recommend? i dont want to spend 400+€ for the best of the best but i still dont want to get the cheapest option what are your recommendations?

[warped burrow]

which phone is that? 😮

[frigid blade]

Any requirements for number of NVMe slots or SATA ports? Stuff like that?

[warped burrow]

yeah i would want atleast 2 5.0 and 2 4.0 for m.2 others is more or less optional but i would like to have some sata ports if i decide to build an archive

[frigid blade]

I’m not sure about gen for the nvmes but I know there’s lots of 4 nvme and 4 SATA boards

Pcpartpicker makes it real easy to narrow down your search

[warped burrow]

ik there is too many and i wanted second opinion if there is some clear favorite among people

i heard asrock makes best mobos is that still correct?

[junior valve]

no pcb

scared to do it with the real gpu

[warped burrow]

ehh should be alright if you let it dry properly and you dont have to heavy of water (limescales and all that)

[frigid blade]

Also you can sort by rating on pcpp if that helps because you’ll be able to read reviews

[warped burrow]

thanks

will do that now

[junior valve]

yea

[warped burrow]

also for the gpus one friend said there is not much of a difference between FE and aftermarket gpus this generation is that true?

[frigid blade]

Yah, I wish I could help but I’m not very knowledgeable on motherboards either although I generally see the big 4 being used, MSI, AsRock, Asus, and Gigabyte

My homelab build will be using an x670 board

[junior valve]

For 50 series fe melts and rog astral doesnt

[warped burrow]

damn 😄

[dusky crest]

Mate xt

[junior valve]

snapping finalboss

[warped burrow]

do you know if aio would be good since it costs 300€ less that aircooled one

[dusky crest]

Huh

[warped burrow]

or is there some issues with them?

[frigid blade]

Wow €3.5k

[junior valve]

aio premium price, no difference in performance

[warped burrow]

aio costs less 😄

[frigid blade]

The aio is cheaper

[dusky crest]

Probably some dumbass put those prices there

[junior valve]

then get that

[warped burrow]

so probably just get the aio

[frigid blade]

Yah

Wow that is expensive holy shit lol

[warped burrow]

idk if thats good wow or bad one

[warped burrow]

at what price you getting them?

[frigid blade]

It’s a bad wow, but good for you for being able to afford it

[junior valve]

2500

[warped burrow]

in eu?

[frigid blade]

None, I have a 4090 that I got for MSRP so I won’t be upgrading for a long ass time (US)

[junior valve]

yes

[warped burrow]

ahh that makes sense

[warped burrow]

can i get some links?

[junior valve]

not instock

3500 is scalped price

[warped burrow]

ehhhh i can but i am really salty about it also there will be some tax evasion since i am buying it on the company

so it will be a bit cheaper in the end

[frigid blade]

$3.5k is the price for a high end computer with all the parts 😭

Scalpers are scum

Can’t get anything new at decent pricing

[junior valve]

3500$ gets you a full 4090 build back in 2023

[warped burrow]

true dat

[frigid blade]

Maybe with the AMD GPUs you can

Are the newest gen AMD comparable to the 50 series?

I saw the pricing is pretty stable with them

[warped burrow]

ehh i want to build something top of the line i want to treat myself after 15 years of running on medium to bad pcs 😄

[junior valve]

i bought the 4080 at lauch for 1199 now its going for 1400-1800 used

[frigid blade]

I was thinking about downgrading to the 3090, I only cared about the vram

Could use the extra money

[warped burrow]

well 40xx series are getting on par with 50xx series in terms of price so its no brainer to buy the 50xx

[frigid blade]

Hm, nevermind

[warped burrow]

am an european pleb

[frigid blade]

Oh that’s a lot of 100

I wonder if that will ever sell

[junior valve]

3090s are going for 900-1000$ used

[frigid blade]

I would hope so

[frigid blade]

I’ve found best buy to be the only reliably cheap place to buy some stuff

[junior valve]

if its available

[frigid blade]

Yah, if it’s available

[dusky crest]

Is that 370 grand?

[frigid blade]

For 100 3090s

[junior valve]

which has never happened

[warped burrow]

so for gpu fe is bad cuz it melts the connectors rog astral doesnot how about other aftermarket gpus? is something worth checking out? in terms of performance and quality

[junior valve]

msi also melts

[frigid blade]

Oh it’s 3:30 am

[dusky crest]

Msrp holy shit

[dusky crest]

Oh

[frigid blade]

Never in stock tho

[junior valve]

it was instock for 2 mins yesterday

[warped burrow]

people have bots setup to buy as soon as it refreshes

[dusky crest]

I might buy a 5060 if they are available for msrp (when i have money)

[warped burrow]

scalping scum...

[warped burrow]

but ohwell gotta respect the grind tho

[junior valve]

all 80,90s gpus are scalped nowdays

[warped burrow]

ye ik

[frigid blade]

Basically never

[dusky crest]

Just for shits n giggles tbh cuz i want a 7800xt anyways

[frigid blade]

Best Buy also sells 4090 for msrp

[dusky crest]

Should had snatched one

[dusky crest]

1500 eagles, yes?

[warped burrow]

the cheapest i can get for 5090 but idk if its good enough...

[junior valve]

@warped burrow corsair cables

[dusky crest]

Too much over tbh

[frigid blade]

Oh wait nvm, it’s $1.9k

[dusky crest]

Missing sense pins wtf

[frigid blade]

I thought msrp was $2k

[junior valve]

so it doesnt melt

[rigid fjord]

correction, corsair basic cables

[dusky crest]

Oh

[warped burrow]

i want 5090 i just dont know which one 😄

[dusky crest]

That's 5090 msrp

[junior valve]

the premium one is sleeved i think

[warped burrow]

and why is that?

[dusky crest]

None cuz all melt

[junior valve]

astral doesn’t

[rigid fjord]

nope, you only ever need 2 of them, and you can swap them over

[frigid blade]

Not yet

[warped burrow]

yeah actually that would be helpful

[junior valve]

astral has better A control

[rigid fjord]

it also self-combusts

[junior valve]

baby 4090, 1500$

[frigid blade]

Looks like a quadro

[dusky crest]

That's so fkin cute
If only the cooler was actually the 4090 fe design

[abstract wigeon]

anyone know any good power supplies that come with those very flexible silicon cables? cant tell from the pages

[dusky crest]

And then m.2 inside

[junior valve]

its a fe design without the X pattern

[frigid blade]

When will they fix the latest nvidia drivers

[abstract wigeon]

never just rollback

[frigid blade]

Haven’t they been out for a while now?

You’d think it would be fixed by now

[abstract wigeon]

even on my 30 series i was having too many issues on latest drivers

almost all of my games kept crashing

[frigid blade]

The longer I’ve been using latest drivers the more I’ve noticed issues

When I first updated it was fine for a while

[abstract wigeon]

roll back, fairly easy

[glad fog]

when you pay THEM!

[warped burrow]

i dont care about drivers tbh since they will patch them eventually what i am more worried about is physical aspect of the gpu i dont want to fuck up my pc because bad gpu

[warped burrow]

i am already paying wdym 😄

[junior valve]

astral

[frigid blade]

They made enough on my purchases

I wonder how much it costs NVIDIA to make the 4090 in just parts? $500?

[warped burrow]

i guess they have rgb aswell

[sinful cobalt]

asus bad

[junior valve]

yes, a line

[rigid fjord]

when fanbois will admit nvidia drivers are not better

[junior valve]

assrock

[peak knot]

Much more than that, the silicon BOM is rather expensive

[sinful cobalt]

people are still making amd vs nvidia drivers flaming amd and glazing nvidia

[glad fog]

i know that nvidia app is real bad, it does shit randomly like turning on dlss q and framegen in games for no reason

[frigid blade]

So is the $1.6k msrp reasonable?

[glad fog]

No

piece of metal should not cost 1.6k

[junior valve]

this one has 2 12vhwpr

[sinful cobalt]

reflex 2 isnt rly that big of an improvement tbh

[warped burrow]

damnn a screen on gpu

[peak knot]

Yeah the BOM for the card is about $1000

[frigid blade]

Dayum

[peak knot]

About 1/2 that is the core alone

[warped burrow]

also 1000w psu would be enough for the 9950x3d +5090 combo?

or should i go with 1200w

[real breach]

what if oxygen is poisonous and it just takes 75-100 years to kill us?

[glad fog]

yeah make sure to get a fire extinguisher as well

Oh wait

[glad fog]

i mean the fact that animals can even fight against death is interesting. it's like everything wants to eat you in this world

[frigid blade]

No I didn’t

[rigid fjord]

Nvidia didn't make any design improvements and is now using it for 5090s which for certain AIB variants can exceed 600W. While 4090 is a design downgrade from 3090Ti which had certain protections built-in so that you couldn't cut 5 out of 6 cables and keep the card still running. But this is completely possible on 40 and 50 series - i.e. delivering all the current via single cable until meltdown. It is now consensus of most electrical engineers that Nvidia's design is inexplicable as it leaves no safety margin thus even a slight deviation from ideal scenario can create meltdown or potential fire hazard scenario

[frigid blade]

That emoji is creepy

The longer you look the more creepy it is

I got Galahad II Trinity SL-INF but should I return this and get Galahad II Trinity Performance+TL Wireless fans onto it? Would that radiator thickness and pump rpm difference make a lot difference? (27mm vs 32mm, 3200rpm vs 4200rpm) I also got SL-Inf case fans, in that case I should return them and get TL wireless fans for case too, all that would cost me 150USD extra. My case is O11 Vision Compact

[sinful cobalt]

why is the vgpu mount on amazon cheaper than at the physical store
BY THE SAME SHOP

[solar moat]

RPM not good metric to go off

[solar moat]

and rad is offen not limit unless you got very small one

like 80x40 mm rad can cool 5090 with good fans

[edgy holly]

imma keep it real with 200 usd u aint getting far

[stoic nova]

I'm not rebutting your take on apple products

I'm criticizing your judgement of other people

[solar moat]

high setting idk but if your fine with compitive setting shoud be easy

[solar moat]

find cheap crap dell box or somthing like that with at least i5 from sandy or newer and slap in mabye a low power gpu since many dont have connecters/the extra PSU power for more then 75W cards in many cases and its makes a fine gaming box

[solar moat]

and allso buget for ssd if dose not have one

[tidal geyser]

Do you have a 14900ks without power limits or something

Even fortnite is saying how bad nvidia drivers are

[upper wave]

I'm thinking of switching from nvidia to AMD. I'm currently daily driving a rtx3070ti with a ryzen 7 5800x.

I've done a little research into radeon cards and am eyeballing the RX 7800xt. Would changing teams be a good idea and how do you guys think the 7800xt would fare me versus my 3070ti? Can it still do all the cool global illumination stuff in unreal 5?

[dusky crest]

Use the default one lol

[dusky crest]

Nvidia makes gpus, ryzen is a cpu lineup

[median smelt]

I'm an idiot I meant AMD

[upper wave]

but I need to print it and turn notes into PDF, also there is no templates for squaes

[median smelt]

For some reason I'm getting my words confused at the moment, I'm not a complete noob as that would suggest I promise xD

[dusky crest]

Ayy, i want a 7800xt as well

[dusky crest]

I forgot what my aunt uses, but it's a free app

[upper wave]

I have found one I am keeping called Wryte, it is £0.99/month and seems like a good option for me

[dusky crest]

Notes app subscription...
What's next? Tire air subscription?

[median smelt]

I could sell my 3070ti and buy a new 7800xt for a difference of any about £120, would that even be a good proce for the performance I'd gain and would it stoll work well in UE5? One of my favourite games, squad is changing to UE5 And i want to ensure I'll still get good performance

I'm looking for guidance more than anything, I'm not experienced in the realm of radeon

[upper wave]

most of them are subscription based when they are paid, I paid £10/yr for my goodnotes

[dusky crest]

My phone has a notes app included, it can export to pdf

If you are using a NVIDIA card you might want to install older drivers

[vivid pendant]

same exact thing.

"Driver WUDFRd failed to load"

driver WUDFRD doesnt exist

[tidal geyser]

Do you use any driver optimizers or installers

[vivid pendant]

no

i didnt even use the nvidia app

[tidal geyser]

He has a 5090

[vivid pendant]

its not even installed on the pc

this is the same damn crap my old pc was doing and i couldnt figure it out so i upgraded

[tidal geyser]

Eh we can just call it crappie nvidia drivers

[vivid pendant]

why would the entire pc freeze and become unresponsive?

damn thats rlly good

[tidal geyser]

ips all the way

[magic basalt]

ips

[sinful cobalt]

ips for general better viewing angles

even if va for higher hz IPS has many options to match

[deep creek]

okay 🙂 thats cool

[tidal geyser]

fast ips

[sinful cobalt]

[deep creek]

what would yall pick samsung, lenovo , acer, lg , gigabyte,?

[tidal geyser]

rtings

[sinful cobalt]

model over brand

[tidal geyser]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor

[sinful cobalt]

if we go by brand I’d say samsung on top followed by LG, gigabyte and acer (I cant say lenovo bcs I dont have experience with a lenovo monitor)

but samsung u pay a premium

[clear hull]

is that noise something to worry about? @tidal geyser from the PSU, sounds kinda like electricity

[tidal geyser]

[clear hull]

no burning smell

[deep creek]

this is a 240 hz but 180 p IPS panel

[clear hull]

already ran for like an hour in bios no issues, just when I started install from usb

now it's gone idk lol

[tidal geyser]

the thing where ALL the electricity the computer uses goes threw sounds like electricity is going threw it

[clear hull]

fair enough lmao

[sinful cobalt]

u can try gigabyte’s M27Q series

1440p and around 165hz

I had the M27QX 1440p 240hz model and it had damn good colour accuracy for a IPS

It was also sharp af, which some people dont like apparently

But then again the ppl who said that are 1080p bums

[deep creek]

lemme check :))))

[long cradle]

I'm curious as to what switches this keyboard has.
They sound and feel pretty good.

[sinful cobalt]

its clicky thats all I know

[deep creek]

optical

[long cradle]

The only problem, the layout is confusing...

[deep creek]

just like my razer huntsman

[sinful cobalt]

personally Im not a fan of clicky kbs, from my experience they are kinda loud

[deep creek]

really loud

[sinful cobalt]

heres my kb sound test

[clear hull]

so even that like zap zap bzzzz

[sinful cobalt]

and this was not following any format i just pressed random keys

[clear hull]

it's okay?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[elder quarry]

Coil whine

[tidal geyser]

yes

[clear hull]

alrighty

[sinful cobalt]

coil whine is harmless its just annoying esp when its loud af

[clear hull]

thank you, sorry🙏 I had a PSU destroy my GPU slot 6 years ago so I'm just worried

[deep creek]

i tried to find the one u told me abt , but all of these are 180 hz

[sinful cobalt]

but if coil whine is indeed loud I’d replace the unit entirely

[clear hull]

it's not loud I gotta go up close

[long cradle]

How do you think it compares to my Sinclair ZX Spectrum?

[elder quarry]

Gpu slot?

[elder quarry]

Lucky you

[sinful cobalt]

the M27QX I believe was limited production so the monitor cannot be found anymore, the alternative I believe is the GS X series which was basically same panel but less features

[hallow arrow]

im gonna start tweaking on chatgpt it keeps saying the 9800x3d doesnt exist

[long cradle]

Loading software from tapes is another thing. This is only a small program.

[true stirrup]

ChatGPT sucks for hardware questions

[deep creek]

ohh okay :)))))

[sinful cobalt]

When I bought mine it was a pre-order and ever since I cannot find it anymore

[true stirrup]

Sick

[tidal geyser]

why are you using chat gpt when you are in a server with this channel

[hallow arrow]

faster answer idk

[frail delta]

That's exactly what Gemini would say

[tidal geyser]

so you have any amount of trust in chat gpt

[true stirrup]

As an AI language model I am unable to respond to that message

[sinful cobalt]

you should basically almost never let chatgpt generate a build, u can only ask about hardware features like on motherboards

since they just ctrl c ctrl v it

and do a summary

[deep creek]

what about this one?

[clear hull]

ye the gpu was completely fine actually

casualties were only the slot itself and one m.2 slot strangely

[sinful cobalt]

specwise its fine

personally tho unless 32 inches I wouldnt take curved

curved doesnt look right unless 32 and above imo

[deep creek]

isnt 32 inch too big ?

[sinful cobalt]

nope, 32 is standard size for UWQHD and 4k

[hybrid yacht]

Well I have a 7010 and thats got a failing drive

Both systems are SFF

4 Drives will be tricky for a SFF System

[deep creek]

there is this one for 32 inches !

[sinful cobalt]

its only something you yourself can say since we all have different preferences, this is my endgame bcs its using hall effect switches and a metal case

[deep creek]

i guess its va

[sinful cobalt]

for comp games I wouldnt go above 27’

[long cradle]

I don't even know what switches the ZX Spectrum uses.

[sinful cobalt]

and i wouldnt go curved

for comp games

if its curved its likely for immersion

[hybrid yacht]

Is there a way to store all 4 HDDS on a SFF Optiplex

and this one is a 7010

[sinful cobalt]

I have no idea what the ZX Spectrum even is in the first place

[true stirrup]

No

[deep creek]

not heard of that brand though!!

[long cradle]

It's a home microcomputer with a Zilog Z80 CPU and 128K of RAM.

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/robot-ai-robot-ai-meme-ai-meme-gif-509507551361818171

[sinful cobalt]

I have no idea what that brand is

[true warren]

I've been playing for years on a 32'' monitor, and still love it.

another thing is, depend how far your monitor is, it will feel different

[sinful cobalt]

respectively I think 32 is too big for comp games as you need to absorb 5+ inches more information as compared to 24 and 27’

You can of course put a border and imitate 24’, but imo it will look weird

I’d get 32’ UWQHD or 4k for story games tho dont get me wrong

assuming the machine can handle those pixels well enough

People are saying 1440p is the new standard, but with nvidia and amd still shitting out 8gb 60 class cards which are what people most commonly buy, I dont think 1440p is going to be the standard for at least another 3 years

[sinful cobalt]

Even 1440p cards like the 4070 and 5070 are starting to be cucked by their 12gb vram in some of the latest titles that are unoptimised

[true warren]

I would never go back to 1080p
1440p is such a sweet spot between 1080p and 4k

[true stirrup]

8Gb is more than enough for 1440p

[calm idol]

1440p is getting popular on the midrange/high midrange. even i who mostly plays fps is thinking about switching to 1440p. using a 6800xt atm

[deep creek]

im quite overwhelmed right now 😮‍💨....too many options :(((

[true warren]

I've been playing with a gtx 1080, i7-4790k, yes, 8gb is way enough for 1440p.
playing recent games on high with no problem

[true stirrup]

I have a 2080 super
1440p works great

[thin plover]

what's "recent games"

[true warren]

Poe2 was the last one I've buy probably

[thin plover]

power over ethernet 2

[sinful cobalt]

Either you’re ragebaiting or you didnt read what tf I said about the 70 class

[true stirrup]

Mf want me to run some games on it or something

Just crank down the visual settings and that's it

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-notebook-gif-20708336

[true stirrup]

Still looks better at medium settings than 1080p on ultra

[thin plover]

some games look really bad on lower settings compared to high/ultra

[vague talon]

anyone else here isn't able to open spotify on his pc?

[sinful cobalt]

in that case i might as well ask you to turn on DLSS4 and MFG x4

[thin plover]

works fine for me

[vague talon]

I can't play anything and after a reinstall I can't sign in

[torn fiber]

im so happy that my sisters a console player

[mellow cairn]

PC gaming!?

[rigid fjord]

the sound onf my youth there

[thin plover]

hmm well there is a spike in reports on Downdetector

[deep creek]

do yall think this is good ?

what is 200 hz (o/C)?

[golden sage]

Hmm, does anyone seem to know if PNY is better than Zotac for GPUs?

[nimble marsh]

Isnt o/c meaning overclocked? (Not sure although)

[deep creek]

i guess ?

[limpid kernel]

y'all i can't find an matx psu on the hardware store website i'm using, can i just use sfx?

wait i'm stupid

[dawn cedar]

lol I was about to say there is no matx psus lol

[hallow jasper]

That isn't a thing.

[dawn cedar]

only ATX and SFX psus afaik

[hallow jasper]

well, there are more but for most builds, yes

[limpid kernel]

yeah my friend saw "atx" on a parts list i sent him and said that it wouldn't fit in my matx case

[tidal geyser]

Meow

[hallow jasper]

stop it

[limpid kernel]

i'd chew into him but after i said i'm gonna go with an sfx power supply if it wouldn't fit he called me stupid because it wouldn't work then went to bed

[tidal geyser]

Never

[hallow jasper]

You should only need SFX for actual SFF cases.

[limpid kernel]

yeah, i'm just gonna stick with the RM750e i was gonna get

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-do-not-dont-please-meme-gif-21449752

[limpid kernel]

afaik it fits in the thermaltake versa h18 case i have

[hallow jasper]

With ATX, the only factor you need to look at is PSU length. Its the only variable with the ATX PSU spec.

[limpid kernel]

is there anything more i need? i have the gpu, cpu and case already (Speedstr Swift 210 (6600XT), Ryzen 5 9600X and Thermaltake Versa H18 respectively)

[hallow jasper]

RM750e should fit just fine

[limpid kernel]

i bought the swift 210 when i was making a budget build last year which is why it's slightly weak compared to everything else (didn't build the budget build because the mobo came missing pins)

[hallow jasper]

What country is this?

[limpid kernel]

australia

[hallow jasper]

Oh.. that explains things..

[limpid kernel]

the prices?

[hallow jasper]

yes

[limpid kernel]

yeah

well, anything i should change?

[abstract wigeon]

not a cause for concern is it?

[limpid kernel]

or is this build all good to buy?

[hallow jasper]

If you're trying to lower the price without losing performance, i'm sure there are better RAM and there are certainly better cooler options

[tidal geyser]

What

[tidal geyser]

And ssd

[hallow jasper]

Thermalright for coolers and basically anything not Corsair for RAM

[limpid kernel]

for ram, that's the best one i could find.

as in the cheapest while being 6000mhz

[abstract wigeon]

how squished the power connector is (forgot to press send 🤦‍♂️)

[tidal geyser]

Looks fine to me

[limpid kernel]

thermalright isn't sold at the store i'm buying everything (need to buy most of it there since my mums forcing me to spend another $200 AUD to get them to assemble it, due to her fear of fires/me wasting money)

[hallow jasper]

oh, well then your options are limited

[golden sage]

man, the 5080 looks so good to upgrade to from my 3080, but when i see the price its a whole ahh different story 💀

[hallow jasper]

If the price is acceptable and you're working within what's available at that store, its all good

it'll all work together without issue

[tidal geyser]

i would just be on the lookout for a rx 9070 xt too

[limpid kernel]

just scrolled through again, this is the cheapest 6000MHz/32GB DDR5 pack

[tidal geyser]

nice go for it

[limpid kernel]

but i also don't really want much rgb

[hallow jasper]

6000CL30?

[limpid kernel]

english?

[hallow jasper]

Link it

[limpid kernel]

https://www.jw.com.au/product/pny-mako-rgb-32gb-16gx2-ddr5-6000-ram

nothing for "cl" that i can spot

[abstract wigeon]

i hate how they are divorced why arent they touching

[golden sage]

Yeah, gotta expand my options, not gonna just stay with nvidia hahah

[limpid kernel]

this is CL36, whatever that means

[grizzled frost]

CAS latency

[limpid kernel]

but it's also 800MHz off what i want

[hallow jasper]

man why do they make this so complicated to just get the damn CAS latency in a listing

[limpid kernel]

iirc the corsair vengeance 2x16 6000mhz one i was gonna get is CL32, might be wrong tho

lemme check rq

CL36

[clever burrow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TJv2Zc is this good for streaming and gaming

[hallow jasper]

Ideally, 6000 CL30 but in the grand scheme of things...

[rigid fjord]

what cpu you got/getting?

[limpid kernel]

man i'm going from mismatched 12gb ddr3 1600Mhz i don't think a small change in CL will affect this massive jump lmao

[limpid kernel]

Ryzen 5 9600X

already bought it on sale for just under AUD$400

[rigid fjord]

6000 cl30 is what you want tbh

[limpid kernel]

how major is the difference between 6000 CL36 and 6000 CL30

does it outweigh the difference between DDR3 1600 and DDR5 6000
