[upper abyss]

whats the cooling performance?

[solid crown]

not sure but probably dont want to be running more than 120w on it

[south arrow]

Should be alright good ventilation and airpull

[upper abyss]

9600x

[solid crown]

that should be fine

[upper abyss]

can i do OC or nah?

[solid crown]

this guy put a fan on both sides

[upper abyss]

WAI WAT

[solid crown]

thats probably the way to go

[upper abyss]

DAYUMMMMM

this is fucking tuff

[south arrow]

XD

[upper abyss]

asiahorse was the site for good fans right?

[solid crown]

I think with 2 fans youd be 100% ok with the 9600x even with a OC

[solid crown]

thermalright has decent infinity fans, asiahorse for psu extensions

there are infinity fans on ali for cheap but lots of reviews saying theyre loud

but the thermalright infinity fans seem more balanced with the sound

[steel umbra]

Btw these exhaust fans are generally useless especially when your gpu doesn't let much air through the backplate as they mostly just steal air from your cpu cooler and not even going to talk about the other backside (not rear) exhausts

[weak osprey]

Hey, I would like you to consider how this makes people feel, it’s doesn’t feel great to be referred to as a thing or an it unless you are a thing or and it which some people identify as, I prefer she/they if possible but I understand if you might get it wrong from time to time

[steel umbra]

Unless they're reversed fans

On that backside

[upper abyss]

can you tell me some that look like these?

[solid crown]

yep I forgot which company it is but they recommend having intake in front of the aircooler and exhaust behind it

[solid crown]

lots of those on aliexpress

[terse canopy]

Nobody cares. This is tech

[upper abyss]

yh but ion wanna wait too long or get loud fans

[dawn tundra]

So the person (family) I got this laptop from sabotaged it with many things but I needed to get on the internet to get this tool cuz I really don't feel like doing whatever they said with the ethernet cable so I go to do it and there's a password on the connection is there any way to get around this?

[steel umbra]

Yeah, if you're going negative pressure concentrate it at the cpu and gpu

just wasting with cool air by placing exhaust in unless places where it will at most help with circulation but mostly just harm your temps by stealing that air is... Not ideal

[sinful cobalt]

montech king 95

[upper abyss]

isnt that a case?

[solid crown]

shouldnt matter too much if youre using an aio though I dont think

[sinful cobalt]

wait ur referring to smth else?

[solid crown]

yeah thermalright doesnt have any that look like that

[terse canopy]

A WiFi password? There really isn’t a way around this.

[sinful cobalt]

o case fans

[upper abyss]

yup, fans similar to those in the picture

[sinful cobalt]

nvm then idrk i use arctic p12s

[steel umbra]

Yes doesn't matter all that much but why would you... want to put fans where they could possibly harm your temps

[solid crown]

I really am not sure who else makes infinity fans that arent very loud (well, lian li but theyre $30 a fan so)

[solid crown]

looks

[steel umbra]

nukes

💥

[trim flicker]

I care. This channel is off topic 99% of the time so only say shit if you have something nice to say.

[frail delta]

I care.

Don't be an asshole

[livid mason]

My Linux system names! Main PC: Dean, Ubuntu server: Winchester, new thinkpad: Sam

[solid crown]

cool

[terse canopy]

Stick to tech and not politics then.

[frail delta]

This isn't political?

[weak osprey]

It’s not politics

[trim flicker]

There was no politics involved in that statement

could you elaborate on what you saw as political?

[frail delta]

[dawn tundra]

Uh

What do I do

[proper gull]

I'd you think pronouns are political, please show yourself the door and never come back

[plain cypress]

Literally rule 2

[dawn tundra]

I don't have a landline

[latent gull]

...are you setting up a dsl connection?

[terse canopy]

This is for dialing over a wired telephone line.

[frail delta]

1800 801 920

[latent gull]

8675309*

[frail delta]

Or 0198 308 888

Depends what Bigpond service you have

[dawn tundra]

My only other option is blocked by a password that was used to sabotage the computer I have it hooked up to my Modem

[steel umbra]

@solid crown very specific example i've placed top exhaust on my jonsbo z20 and well basicly near that exhaust there is a psu and cpu cooler drawing air creating very negative pressure in that area, and there is just one fan to accommodate that air demand by adding that extra a12x25 my temps have risen by 1-2c

[frail delta]

RIP Bingpond dial up

1995-2016

[steel umbra]

Because that exhaust was stealing le air

[plain cypress]

Excuse the what

[latent gull]

ya know, biglake dialup

[timid epoch]

setting up windows 11 have you found anything that really makes your privacy feel normal and safe? like a app or a vpn service to subscribe to you use regularly now or that is matched with linux security measures or is there at the very least, a tutorial somewhere that a dual boot system can make use of to make sure that both windows 11 and your choice of linux distro is safe secure and private without a lot of headache and easy setup and trust worthiness?

[frail delta]

Telstra (Formerly Telecom [Formerly PMG])'s dial up service was called Bigpond

[dawn tundra]

What

[frail delta]

All their broadband services used to be branded as Bigpond

Cable, ADSL, Mobile

[weak osprey]

Windows can’t be truly secure

[dawn tundra]

Help It said no tone

[weak osprey]

They do too much logging

[plain cypress]

Why do I even bother clicking on Bloomberg articles

[latent gull]

thats probably because you have no idea what your doing

[frail delta]

Oh boy I remember these

So incredibly crap

[latent gull]

is that a usb to wireless dongle?

[solid crown]

kinda just looks like a dropshipper

[frail delta]

It's a 3G modem

Sorry, NextG

[dawn tundra]

You would be right my father is getting frustrated and doesn't want to help

[latent gull]

.....? a wireless modem?

[frail delta]

Bigpond Movies!

[upper abyss]

prolly but idc, they got it in stock, its cheap and arrives fast

[frail delta]

Streaming before it was cool

[frail delta]

Yes

[solid crown]

like my setup the 360 is in the front so it shouldnt really matter if theres an exhaust right next to it

cause its just removing warm air right

[steel umbra]

If the aio is at the front and you have top exhausts that's fine yeh

[frail delta]

Netflix before Netflix, but even more expensive!

[latent gull]

your really on this bigpond movies thing huh

[frail delta]

Yep

[latent gull]

also isnt a bigpond just a lake

[upper abyss]

should i get 1 regular and 1 reverse fan?

[steel umbra]

If you have fans under the gpu, rear and top as exhaust, front has the aio as intake that's one of the most ideal airflow setups

for atx

[solid crown]

it would be based on your needs but yeah if youre gonna need intakes the reverse blade is good so you can still see the infinity mirror on the hub

[solid crown]

yep thats what I have

[frail delta]

Telstra also had a Bigpond pond in some video game

The Metaverse before it was cool

[steel umbra]

Now you have less standard cases like jonsbo z20 or ap201 or lan da3 where you can hardly put a fan at the front and well setting up airflow can be tricky especially when you have a larger gpu

[solid crown]

oh yeah those small cases are weird

[dawn tundra]

https://www.isomedia.com/national_dialup_lookup.php#513 I tried this but do I need a phone cable and I'm not sure if I can do it via Ethernet

I'm trying my best here

I really don't know much about this

[solid crown]

bro wtf

either you have the wifi password or you dont

[steel umbra]

When you get to smol itx cases it is a challenge if you want a proper airflow

[solid crown]

for sure lol, I want to do a build in one of those but it seems like a lot of work

matx is an ok compromise for me

no matx lga 1700 mobos really (at least cheaper ones)

[steel umbra]

yeah matx is sweet

[dawn tundra]

I'm trying it's my internet

I don't know how to configure it the computer was sort of sabotaged

[solid crown]

just plug the ethernet cable into the pc

[terse canopy]

How was it sabotaged?

[dawn tundra]

Brother this is Windows XP

[solid crown]

why are you even trying to use this pc then

[dawn tundra]

Long story short a disgusting login password everything was factory reset password on the internet I think I don't know

By someone who I used to call family

[solid crown]

if its your wifi just reset it again and set your own password

[dawn tundra]

Sort of I kind of need like a phone number

And it has to be directly connected to the modem

At least the way that I'm trying to do it because it doesn't accept Wi-Fi because it's too old to accept the modern frequencies

[solid crown]

just get a new pc

[dawn tundra]

That's not the freaking point dude

First of all I'm trying to install recovery software

[solid crown]

windows xp is unuable

[dawn tundra]

It's not unusable

[solid crown]

if you had important data on a windows xp computer thats your own fault

[dawn tundra]

For me this is sort of fun except for this specific part I like older stuff

[dawn tundra]

No the person factory reset the computer so it marked all of the data as empty

[solid crown]

I mean how do you expect anyone to know about dial up internet bro

maybe 25 years ago

[dawn tundra]

I mean some of the youngest are in their thirties

Late

[solid crown]

I didnt even know dial up internet still existed

[terse canopy]

Did you…. Plug this computer directly into your cable modem with a wired network cable? And do you have a router separate from your modem?

[dawn tundra]

It will as long as landline still exists

[solid crown]

how much do you pay for it? $50/m for 10kbps?

[dawn tundra]

It's plugged in via Ethernet cable directly to the modem

[dawn tundra]

I don't have a landline

And I'm not paying for anything it's just going to be hooked up to my regular internet

[solid crown]

soo why are you trying to look up dial up service

[terse canopy]

To dial a connection to the Internet, you need to dial in to an ISP that supports that. And they will want money.

[dawn tundra]

Instead of setting up a local network between two computers I'm going to have to download the software online

[dawn tundra]

Damn

Could you help me with setting up a local network between the two

[terse canopy]

Does your modem provide WiFi?

[plain cypress]

Wait

[dawn tundra]

Yea

[plain cypress]

Are you trying to use RJ11 as Ethernet

[dawn tundra]

No rj45

[terse canopy]

Ok. So the XP machine isn’t a hosed botnet zombie

[plain cypress]

I'm so confused

[dawn tundra]

No it's not part of a botnet it was a family computer

[golden sage]

Hm, this doesnt look all the way in, a friend sent this picture

[solid crown]

https://tenor.com/view/cheers-true-right-leonardodicaprio-leodicaprio-gif-3020110486204374502

[plain cypress]

Shove it

[solid crown]

yeah that doesnt look correct

technically if the light isnt on it means there is sufficient connection on the sense pins but I wouldnt trust it

[dawn tundra]

I've tried hooking them up via a direct connection but I don't know what to do I'm so confused

[solid crown]

is it a all in one modem or do you have a router too

you should try to plug it into the router if its not all in one

[dawn tundra]

I think I actually had it plugged into the router already

So switch to the modem?

[solid crown]

no it should be connected to the router

[terse canopy]

Does the XP machine have an IP address?

[dawn tundra]

How do I check on XP?

Actually scratch that let me figure it out like that

[strong grove]

MORE FORCE

PUSH IT IN

[dawn tundra]

Never mind I can't figure it out

[dawn tundra]

I'm stupid

[upper abyss]

should i rather get a Thermalright Frozen Infinity 360 aio or a Thermalright Assasin X120 Digital with 2 random Fans

[terse canopy]

Start > run > cmd

[dawn tundra]

Then what

[golden sage]

My friend literally is pushing as hard as he can and he says it cant go in 💀

[terse canopy]

Type in without quotes “ipconfig /all”.
you should see some numbers.. something starting with:
192
172

[dawn tundra]

It's probably going to be 19

[golden sage]

Yes this is what i told him

[terse canopy]

Ok, write down that number. Just to confirm, it should be something like 192.168.x.x

[solid crown]

I did a bit of googling and it seems like nvidia got spooked and made the new connectors extremely tight

[terse canopy]

What OS is your other computer?

[solid crown]

people on reddit said they had to take the gpu out and then connect it to get enough leverage to push it in

[dawn tundra]

10

[terse canopy]

Ignore tunnel adapters

[dawn tundra]

It's Windows 10 but I did try setting an internet connection earlier like this

But I couldn't set the other one

[terse canopy]

You are plugged into a router, set both computers back to DHCP.

[dawn tundra]

Okay

Okay I have the number

Now what

[terse canopy]

Assuming you got the IP after setting the computer to use DHCP, go to your win 11 computer and open file explorer

[dawn tundra]

Oh it's 10 by the way

No I don't have the other computer on Dhcp

[terse canopy]

In the address bar in the top on the win 10 machine, type in:
\\ipaddressfromXP\c$

[proper gull]

Oh god

[terse canopy]

If asked for a username/password, use the credentials from the XP machine

[proper gull]

At least it's only a 5070

[dawn tundra]

Sw hold on a second

[terse canopy]

Note: On the Win 10 machine, you may need to install a windows feature. Windows filesharing version 1.0 (something called that). This can be found in Win10 in Control panel > add remove programs > add remove features

…and unfortunately, I have to run for now. Perhaps another can assist until I return

[dawn tundra]

I got something weird with the IP address

[terse canopy]

192.168.1.153

[dawn tundra]

Thank you you've been a real help

[dawn tundra]

What did you mean address bar

Rip

If only he had stayed a few seconds longer

[glass flame]

Hello, I have an issue with my pc. My pc crashed No blue screen. I restarted it. My pc is turned on as well as everything inside. Cpu cooler, ram, ssd, graphics card, all lit up. But my screens show nothing. My keyboard and mouse won't light up either. Everything is connected/snug. I've restarted it multiple times. Nothing. Any ideas/pointers?

I should probably put this in #1027757333117415424

[gleaming rose]

what version of windows is this

[dawn tundra]

XP

[dawn tundra]

I really hope this works

[dawn tundra]

You wouldn't happen to know what he meant by address bar would you

[fierce forge]

im hoping someone can help me, I have a homelab and use cloudflare as a dns, i usually use cloudflared but want to know if i install a WARP connector in a VM will it work across my network or just device?

[limpid kernel]

thank fuck Android allows for USB tethering. for some reason i can't keep a wifi connection on linux due to a "wrong password", even tho it's the same password i've used over 50 times and memorised. i'm gonna guess my mums blocked the wifi because of my sister, and hasn't unblocked my pc.

[dawn tundra]

Ask if you can

[limpid kernel]

she's having a nap

[dawn tundra]

Ah

[limpid kernel]

not gonna wake her up, don't want to be rude when i can still get wifi through my phone + a usb cable

[dawn tundra]

Fair

[gleaming rose]

well no fucking shit

why are you installing xp

[dawn tundra]

I'm not installing XP

I'm trying to transfer a file from 10 to XP on a different computer so that I can recover data from it with a software

Because the computer was factory reset

[gleaming rose]

on a hard drive?

[dawn tundra]

Yerp

[gleaming rose]

good luck honestly, i doubt you're getting anything meaningful

[dawn tundra]

Nothing else has really been installed over top of it

I will

I just need to figure out how to set this up

[gleaming rose]

doesnt mean anything, hard drives basically write at random

[gleaming rose]

yeah ive tried this too and it aint happening

[dawn tundra]

I really wish I knew what he meant by address bar

[gleaming rose]

file manager

[dawn tundra]

Ok

I installed the files that are required by the way

The file sharing

[gleaming rose]

your system doesn't even really know where the files are and programs that could potentially find them are just a shot in the dark and are generally unreliable

expect data that is at least slightly damaged

again, hard drives dont write sequentially, they write wherever its most convenient pretty much and do not care about your feelings

[dawn tundra]

Yeah not very much has been written to the disc anyway

[gleaming rose]

youd be surprised

[dawn tundra]

You're right I probably would but nothing other than what's installed from factory has been put on the computer

So I expect to get at least some things back

[gleaming rose]

an active system will literally write and rewrite data at random

[dawn tundra]

And is not so great condition

[gleaming rose]

you will be disappointed but whatever i tried to stop you

[wheat field]

My argument was fine. I did it anyways.

Also I looked at the rules, installing another version of android on a SmartTV isn't against the rules.

[gleaming rose]

you dont know how this works and that's ok
trying is the only way to learn anyways

[wheat field]

This server has some really chill people and some of the most insufferable turbo nerds known to man. It's borderline exhausting.

[gleaming rose]

:3

[dawn tundra]

It says cannot find computer or device named IP address from XP

Oh wait I'm stupid

[gleaming rose]

this is not new information

[dawn tundra]

I'm literally stupid

I'm the stupidest idiot ever

[gleaming rose]

yes

[dawn tundra]

He put that there to tell me to fill in the IP address

Not to actually put that

[gleaming rose]

literally files aren't written sequentially sometimes, there's no way you're getting data back

[dawn tundra]

I'm restarted

[gleaming rose]

ah whatevs I tried and im going to bed

[gleaming minnow]

what wifi network is it if its virgin media i know how to change unblock stuff and change settings

[dawn tundra]

One more thing it's just that I type c$ wrong

[limpid kernel]

optus

[granite sundial]

theres a hotfix for nvidias new fucked drivers but u gotta find it out and download it u dont get it from nvidia app??

u gotta find a customer help page to download it

[empty orchid]

any opinion on
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FF3F5HR
vs
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C8ZJKPWC
?
I'm trying to pick something (preferably under 300) while I still can.

[limpid kernel]

As always, nmtui being more useful than KDE's WiFi menu

[sinful cobalt]

imo go for the one with higher refresh rate

both are vas

[limpid kernel]

Alright, so it says this error, but it's still connected... But only as root.

Oh wait, joining as root fixed the issue for my user account too.

Nvm, KDE's still fucked.

Hopefully Hyprland will work.

Alright, Hyprland works, KDE doesn't.

That's weird as fuck ngl

[sinful cobalt]

so apparently zen 6 is rumoured to be on 2nm node scheduled for 2026

while intel rumours are that they’re already gonna jump another mobo platform to LGA 1954

[plain cypress]

<@&750150305383186585> filter evasion?

Nvm he deleted it or something

[plain cypress]

Korean war flashbacks

Okay but fr, Nova lake is on a different socket

[sinful cobalt]

hahahahahaha another mobo hahahahah

[outer marlin]

Intel is trash

[plain cypress]

In incredibly disappointed news some rumors came out NVL top die is expected to be on TSMC N2 😭

[latent pasture]

there might be arl refresh with the same cores but the npu tile is better

[sinful cobalt]

i bought 10 intel stocks to wait for them to make a comeback in like 2027

[latent pasture]

so nothingburger ig

[sinful cobalt]

maybe it’ll be 2030

[latent pasture]

lol its gonna take longer than that

[sinful cobalt]

maybe 2040 idek

[outer marlin]

Your cooked

[plain cypress]

Sit on it and forget about it until retirement

[sinful cobalt]

lol fr

[sinful cobalt]

no not rly now intel needs to undergo big change and play catchup to amd hopefully they start cooking in the kitchen back to the basics

celestial is also speculated to utilise GDDR7 bcs one of their job postings said “implement GDDR6/GDDR7”

[latent pasture]

theyre running out of money

[outer marlin]

i ate a celeron

[latent pasture]

wat ur telling telling is stuff that will make them run out of even more money for now for potential return like 5-10 years later
not sure people care for that long

[plain cypress]

Is it time for the Saudi foreign investment fund

[latent pasture]

since nvidia and arm are moving into the cpu space

[outer marlin]

isnt that just rumors tho

[latent pasture]

nvidia is
snapdragon and armac is here/since 2020

[azure topaz]

nvidia has BEEN in the cpu space

[outer marlin]

desktop cpu

[sinful cobalt]

they got bailed by the US gov lol

[plain cypress]

If you're referring to chips act funding, not really

It's not like they gave Intel $50B in cash

Intel was awarded similar amounts to other chipmakers

They aren't GM 15 years ago (I was a child I don't know how the recession bailout worked)

[fallen sky]

what’s the iOS version of handbrake

[plain cypress]

Use a computer

[fallen sky]

ts over 10MB 🙏

[fallen sky]

Ain’t doing allat

[sinful cobalt]

i invested like 190 us into intel, abt 350 into amd

[fallen sky]

I’m not gonna walk 5 steps over to my desk and walk 5 more steps back to my bed too much effort

[plain cypress]

Too bad I was a broke 18yo when AMD was $1.50 a share

[plain cypress]

You could be done by now

[fallen sky]

nah I need to log in and boot up and open handbrake

I would be in the login phase rn

[frail delta]

I bought AMD at ~20AUD and sold at about 30AUD

[frail delta]

Little did I know

[stray cairn]

Well well well.

[sinful cobalt]

I likely was still in fkin middle sch lmao

born too late to ride the train

[frail delta]

It was only a couple hundred bucks, if only :(

[plain cypress]

Why didn't I buy a house when I was 14 in the great recession
Was I Stoopid?

[frail delta]

Yes

Amateur

[plain cypress]

YOOOOO

[sinful cobalt]

why didnt I buy bitcoin, a house, big potential stocks from underdogs like AMD when I was still in my father’s balls

fr

[stray cairn]

I use ynab

[frail delta]

Who’s this lol

[stray cairn]

If they’re a student get it confirmed for a year free

[plain cypress]

My gf lol

[frail delta]

Ah

[plain cypress]

She uses a spreadsheet

[frail delta]

Based

[plain cypress]

I could try a spreadsheet

[frail delta]

Is it Excel?

[stray cairn]

If she’s a student get the student discount so it would be a year free.

[plain cypress]

But YNAB is so low friction

[plain cypress]

We're both graduated

[stray cairn]

Fuck

[sinful cobalt]

2k sgd for a yeston gpu i got for $1173? nice try diddy

[plain cypress]

To be clear we can afford ynab

[stray cairn]

Ok $100 a year then

[plain cypress]

$109 💀

[frail delta]

The one good thing about Google Sheets is the API

[stray cairn]

Ynab gang

[plain cypress]

We made a combined north of $200k last year

[sinful cobalt]

i have like
10 intel
7 amd
4.004 nvidia
im prob selling nvidia if they climb back to like $110 but idt so

ill jst holdon likely till smth big happens

Maybe ill jst sell at 105

[plain cypress]

YNAB gan---- FUCK

[frail delta]

@plain cypress does ynab have bank feeds

[stray cairn]

I think it connects to every bank EXCEPT Amex

[plain cypress]

For the 'muricans it has full Plaid integration

[frail delta]

Amex isn’t a bank

[plain cypress]

Which I don't use because trying to deal with credit cards in YNAB makes me wanna gouge an eye out

[frail delta]

Hmm I would have to run some middleware for it to work with my bank

[stray cairn]

Ik I forgot

EH IT DOES TAKE AMEX

[plain cypress]

iOS

[frail delta]

Yeah that’s getting chucked in the too hard bucket

[plain cypress]

Okay
YNAB or LTTstore

I got $100-$150 of fuck it cash

[stray cairn]

Ynab

[frail delta]

YNAB is only for a year, LTTstore is forever

[plain cypress]

I already have full size screwdriver

But I kinda want stubby

[stray cairn]

Ynab to make budget to have more fuck it cash

[frail delta]

I’ll just continue to use my banks app

[plain cypress]

I'll be honest
I'm pretty good about not overspending anyways

However it really helps me know how much I actually have

[stray cairn]

Same

I am stingy by defaut but I wanted to make sure im not spending like shit

That’s how the rich get richer fr.

[frail delta]

I am not stingy enough

[stray cairn]

Despite a lot of purchases is not documented such as gacha or alcohol

[plain cypress]

I measure the cost of everything by the number of hours it would have taken me to earn that, after tax, when I was making $9/hr in retail

[stray cairn]

I run by set budget. After tax.

[plain cypress]

Try to remember being a broke teenager

[frail delta]

I hated that

[plain cypress]

My problem is my income is inconsistent

[frail delta]

I have adult money now!!!

[plain cypress]

Hourly with overtime

[stray cairn]

Happened once and NEVER AGAIN

[plain cypress]

I would hope you're never a teenager again

[stray cairn]

Still 25 so genz standards im an uncle

[plain cypress]

We are gen z

[frail delta]

And rent doesn’t get included there because it’s not a card transaction

[velvet minnow]

my motherboard will not let me have a ps/2 device and a usb device plugged in at the same time. one or the other only. Is this normal?

[plain cypress]

Also, I know people who were actual uncles in high school. It's so weird

[stray cairn]

I don’t include gacha and alcohol because I only measure living costs

[plain cypress]

Gacha-economy

[stray cairn]

So food at the canteen, eating out, and random purchases

[frail delta]

I should ask them how I can get rent to show up in the statistics

[stray cairn]

Add manually?

[frail delta]

Ahhh

Uber eats gets classed as transport lol

[velvet minnow]

why is the discussion here on cost-of-living expenses lol????

thats a new one

[stray cairn]

YNAB didn’t support Taiwanese banks so I just type it manually

[frail delta]

I don’t think you can, it’s built into my banks app

[plain cypress]

[stray cairn]

I might get Amex for fun

[plain cypress]

Keep your wafers away from me

[stray cairn]

No

[plain cypress]

Jk I stalked some TSMC packages the other day

[stray cairn]

I live an hour away from them

[velvet minnow]

oh so thats what it stands for

[plain cypress]

I live uhhh

[stray cairn]

I also got asked by work to join Computex

[velvet minnow]

you live in the factory

[stray cairn]

So I decided to ask if they can provide day-1 tickets

So I can meet Linus

[plain cypress]

I'm 43 minutes away from TSMC

[frail delta]

Such a cool app

[stray cairn]

Sad. But again it allows me to reduce impulse purchases

[sinful cobalt]

i wanna go to computex some day 💀 💀 💀

[stray cairn]

I go to Computex every year.

[sinful cobalt]

I wanna go to JP, Taiwan, Germany and France

Germany and France for nurburging and lemans

[plain cypress]

Ugh

[sinful cobalt]

im so fkin jealous

[plain cypress]

My company would have no business at computex unfortunately

[plain cypress]

Anyone who needs fab equipment already knows who we are

[stray cairn]

I work for Taiwan’s state funded HPC lab so we’re often trying to see what the industry is heading to.

Like how we try to do everything in CPU

[frail delta]

I have a meeting in an hour and a half so I don’t really feel like I can do anything

what wattage psu do you guys recommend for a system like this

[plain cypress]

I work for a Japanese semiconductor manufacturing equipment company

It's fun

[sinful cobalt]

750w

[stray cairn]

Working in tech is fun

[warm sage]

ok good

[stray cairn]

Especially on some niches like HPC

[warm sage]

i already have one in my pc

[sinful cobalt]

sugoi desho
saikyo desho
tensai desho!!!

[stray cairn]

I love holding a 60K USD CPU

[plain cypress]

But we would have no business at computex

[stray cairn]

Sad

[warm sage]

gonna switch am4 + ddr4 to am5 + ddr5

[sinful cobalt]

as long as ur name isnt linus drop tips i think its fine

[stray cairn]

I was hoping my day-1 can be a business rxpense lol

[plain cypress]

It's just that side of the industry

[sinful cobalt]

wow really ah i didnt know

[plain cypress]

If you have the capital to build a fab you already know who makes the equipment

[stray cairn]

But reality wise I’d open HSBC before Amex.

[plain cypress]

And you can't really set up a booth demo kek

So if I wanna go to computex I have to pay my own way

[stray cairn]

Imagine computex and half of the room is just EUV machines

[sinful cobalt]

wait friday what char is that in ur pfp it looks fkin familar

[plain cypress]

Which I totally had the opportunity to be at TSMC Taiwan this very second

But terrible timing

[hollow creek]

bro is waiting for that tsmc us fab instead of taiwan lmao

[velvet minnow]

correct!

[plain cypress]

I transiston to full time employee next week and I would have had to be in Taiwan this whole month. It just doesn't work out

[stray cairn]

Ngl #tech-chat-1 is now just some guys in the industry spilling shit

[plain cypress]

I'm 35 miles away from TSMCs first US fab

Taiwan is humid I'm sorry but fuck that

[hollow creek]

ah in that case youre set for life lol

[velvet minnow]

come to tech chat 2 where we will be discussing pH measuring tools

[plain cypress]

But Intel R&D fab is closer 😉

[frigid blade]

TC1 has never been on topic

[gleaming minnow]

the goofyest pfpf here

[sinful cobalt]

mainly on the topic of cats

[stray cairn]

Fuck that too. Reasonable

[plain cypress]

Wafertech is so fucking sad

[hollow creek]

well if they pay better i dont see why not
Either way youre there to essentially manufacture anyway

[plain cypress]

200mm only

[plain cypress]

I'm a supplier they don't pay me nothing

[hollow creek]

oh my bad

[stray cairn]

Tech chat 1 is people on the wafer industry and spending 3 million USD on a whim for some chips

[plain cypress]

Especially since I'm tech support, so I'm free labor for Intel kek

[hollow creek]

hey to be fair semicon are super expensive to dupe

[sinful cobalt]

show us that B770

[stray cairn]

Fun fact:

Work made an investment on ARM chips and I worked on it rn

[sinful cobalt]

Show us the C570, C580, and C770

[plain cypress]

That shit is made in Taiwan

[sinful cobalt]

least i tried

[hollow creek]

dont they have manufacturing site everywhere

[stray cairn]

Nah we dropped like 3 million USD to Nvidia for their new Grace chips

[sinful cobalt]

:V

[plain cypress]

Battlemage is definitely made in Taiwan

[sinful cobalt]

by the will of the arc

[plain cypress]

Or at least initial run

Now that TSMC Arizona is operating the 5nm wafers can come from either location

But initial tape out was definitely Taiwan

[stray cairn]

TSMC Arizona is bought by Apple.

[solid crown]

whats the cost difference between tsmc arizona and tsmc taiwan

[hollow creek]

well more like they bought the slot to manufacture

[plain cypress]

AMD is making Ryzen 9000 there

[stray cairn]

Nothing

[sinful cobalt]

ah yes tsmc monopoly

[stray cairn]

Indeed

[plain cypress]

Does Arizona even have n3

[stray cairn]

Taiwan #1

[plain cypress]

I thought Arizona was N5/N4

Although yeah it's probably updated to include N3?

[hollow creek]

not their fault for making like 85+% usable wafer at first try. thats some super efficient shit
who wouldnt pay for that

[solid crown]

no cost difference is what youre saying?

[stray cairn]

Most of IC foundry is automated

Except for the engineers.

[sinful cobalt]

This is the part where I wait for some other company to rise up and challenge tsmc like how amd challenged intel 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[plain cypress]

Still requires a lot of workers

It just means workers don't have to dip wafers into buckets of acid by hand anymore

[stray cairn]

So probably around 20% price increase for labor coverage.

[sinful cobalt]

cmon intel

[solid crown]

yeah idk I feel like the US still has a bunch of guidelines and crap, everything is just more expensive in the US

[stray cairn]

TSMC is trying to take control Intel fabs.

[plain cypress]

No they aren't

TSMC officially rejected that rumor

[stray cairn]

Oh they denied it.

[plain cypress]

I don't see why they want intel fabs

[sinful cobalt]

hell yea the US the country of tariffs inflation social problems high manufacturing costs freedom

[plain cypress]

If the current administration actually cared about America first they should give $100B to Intel/micron/TI/etc

[frigid blade]

I’m so glad Chinese factories exist, aliexpress is so cheap

[stray cairn]

Yeah just checked it.

[solid crown]

I wish intel could get b570 manufacturing in house

[hollow creek]

tsmc acquiring intel fabs will make them a fabrication superpower lmao

[solid crown]

I feel like the gpu launch wouldve went way better

[hollow creek]

nobody would ever beat them

[plain cypress]

They already are without Intel's fabs

[solid crown]

not anymore

[frigid blade]

Yes they are

[solid crown]

well at least for the larger stuff like pc cases its dead

[hollow creek]

well there is samsung but most of the time their silicon full of crap

[sinful cobalt]

basically everyone and their entire mexican family go to tsmc, even intel did for battlemage

[stray cairn]

TSMC is competing with itself.

[solid crown]

and the new import fees go into effect on may something so we'll have to see what happens then

[velvet minnow]

I hope we figure out a way to make electronic manufacturing more sustainable

[hollow creek]

thats actually true. bro has intel, nvidia, amd, mediatek, qualcomm all paying for their fabs lmao

[frigid blade]

Oh I’m not looking at cases

[plain cypress]

TSMC is betting on mainland Taiwan not trying anything funny in the next 10 years

[frigid blade]

Mostly RC parts

[hollow creek]

haha china haha

taiwan wont but someone else definitely will

[plain cypress]

Mainland Taiwan*

[hollow creek]

i mean mainlaind china will try something

as they always have

[plain cypress]

West Taiwan*

[stray cairn]

Tbh I used to live in Indonesia and their tech prices are fucking nuts.

Still cheaper than how it was in the US.

[sinful cobalt]

singapore: Ill match u.

+19% taxes ✅ ✅ ✅

[stray cairn]

You get your shit for $350 but here its $500 at most.

[solid crown]

yeah I just found it, they will remove the less tax on shipments under $800, now they will be taxed at 120% of their value on may 2nd compared to 90% previously. Also, the per-postal item fee is also getting increased by around 100%?

[stray cairn]

Our depends on the brand. Back then I was about to buy 5700XT from Sapphire, and the ASUS one costs more because its ASUS.

Same everything, just brand.

[sinful cobalt]

ah yes asus +250sgd above msrp

[stray cairn]

I moved to Taiwan and the prices are the same. Its different due to the cooler but if its reference then its the same.

[hollow creek]

to be fair buying any asus shit apart from their basic/budget ones are literally spending money like water they are very expensive lmao

but some of them are worth their cost, well some

[thorn pewter]

some*****

very few

[hollow creek]

gonna spend money on rog thor real quick

[stray cairn]

We buy it because well

Its Taiwanese brand.

[thorn pewter]

just get a seasonic 1200w psu smh

[solid crown]

yeah idk who the hell buys rog psus

[hollow creek]

hey, A tier psu, and rgbs man

[thorn pewter]

at the cost of like 10 evga 850 PSUs? nah

[hollow creek]

their psu's are actually some of the finest shit you can get. albeit they are expensive AF

[sinful cobalt]

you should summon it from
mars directly to the ground on earth like mjolnir

[solid crown]

they always looked cheesy as hell

[stray cairn]

If they come for SFF yeah

[thorn pewter]

2008 type shi lol

[sinful cobalt]

ah yes asus is literally just glorified shit

[hollow creek]

but rgb tho +10% fps

[sinful cobalt]

nah black runs faster, +15% fps

[thorn pewter]

tbh the rgb on the psu woudl ever so slighly radiate some form of heat soooo....... it would kil preformance😝

[sinful cobalt]

no rgb for weight reduction so therefore +15%

[thorn pewter]

rgb on PCs looks sometimes odd

[hollow creek]

why worry about heat when you have rog ryuo

[solid crown]

the ROG Ryuko Matoi

[hollow creek]

even better, an evangelion collab

[sinful cobalt]

this fucking assrock rgb at the bottom 😠

Aero is clean tho.

See! You're welcome!

[sinful cobalt]

yeston here takes the top

[thorn pewter]

[sinful cobalt]

CH160 is one of the bigger ITX cases but imo still looks nice, if i do another 1 im considering the fractal terra or the nr200p

[stray cairn]

Im thinking FormD T1

[weak osprey]

im thinking miku

[frail delta]

[sinful cobalt]

I was also thinking T1 but its not readily available bere

[thorn pewter]

tbh i am strongly considering doing brining it with me, the 3ds would be hella neat to skip my prof boring ass lectures

[stray cairn]

And all AMD hardware

[stray cairn]

I just pay for shipping.

[thorn pewter]

where u at, Philippine?

or idk i think that was were u at lol

me is all you are going to get smh

I plan to flex arnd my yeston in a future build in like 2030 lol

[stray cairn]

If I work for AMD I’ll be using Intel and Nvidia instead.

Jk I want the employee discount

[sinful cobalt]

my itx is a gaming pc disguised as a productivity pc tbh

but AMD rn is goated

[sinful cobalt]

Actually good idea, I might apply for AMD after i grad :V

[stray cairn]

I applied for their MTS position on ML/AI SWG in the same exact topic I am doing rn on internship and thesis

The difference is they’re doing shit on GPU, not CPU so it would take time to adjust.

[sinful cobalt]

Im a sucker for good looking box art

[thorn pewter]

idk js dm cuz i might go sleep sleep, i have uni tmrw bro

fuck me :3

[sinful cobalt]

Ill post in yo dms then

[solid crown]

yeah but like you can damn just buy an entire case with the vertical gpu bracket for just a bit more

[thorn pewter]

REAL

[sinful cobalt]

oh yea the beginning of this year I think the guy on the right got dropped

bcs it was found that he’s a pedo

[thorn pewter]

not surpsirsed

[sinful cobalt]

he literally commonly acts as a villain character LOL

[left dove]

its also because vertical gpu mounts do literally nothing for performance and is purely for silly visual reasons

[thorn pewter]

molla.

that too also lol

[sinful cobalt]

ill open the glass panel and take a fan to blow into it

[solid crown]

even ali cant make the bracket cheap lol

its still like $40

[thorn pewter]

tbh all what i now need is a side pannel for my old x79 buid i have, my old pc i dont use anymore is rlly getting a wet dream to anyone in 2016 lol

dual titan XPs sli and a quadro rtx 4000 forrtx, plus a 1680v2 liquid cooled and OC'd to 4.3 on all 8c, that cpu is 8c/16t cpu, pretty decent,do not know what todo now

have no reson to build it, even moded the bios to include mem and cpu oc cuz i put it in a hpz420 worksation mobo cuz more pcie lanes

[sinful cobalt]

the testing on my friend’s 4080 sakura sugar right b4 the 5070ti aero arrived

[thorn pewter]

so mem got around 2400 or the kit i have in it

thats when oc

[gleaming minnow]

that sag bracket

my sag bracket is 3 1kg glass blocks

i mean logically i aint using the 4k one, only when watching movies with home theater, otherwise i use the screens i have in the vid clip, tho thinking getting another portrait screen, and ion play games as much, but otherwise they do the job

[fresh escarp]

yes?

[solid crown]

bruh just use the 4K screen and be done with it

[winter lantern]

My moniter is 180hz but I can't set it passed 120hz cause the gpu is too old

🔥

[sinful cobalt]

1440p 360hz oled here

[winter lantern]

Bro spent 900 on a monitor

💔

[solid crown]

lol mine was more...

[gilded harness]

id expect less because vega 8 🔥

[solid crown]

unfortunately

early adopter tax

[winter lantern]

Is it that but 4k?

Like 4k 240hz

[sinful cobalt]

1k sgd retail but i bought $784

[solid crown]

nope, 1.3K pre tax for 1440p ultrawide 144hz

[gilded harness]

im going to get 3050 6gb that doesnt require power connector soon

[solid crown]

aw3423dw baby

[gilded harness]

also upgrading my cpu

[winter lantern]

Tax makes it close enough

[sinful cobalt]

$784 is already accounting for tax

[solid crown]

technically itll do 165hz but at 8 bit

[winter lantern]

A brand new samsung g9 oled is cheaper💀

[solid crown]

yeah it was one of the first to come out

back in 2022

no noticable burn in after 3 years though which is nice

[winter lantern]

The 10% inflation since 🔥

[solid crown]

hopefully it lasts like 2 more years at least with no noticeable burn in

[winter lantern]

You'll use it till it breaks trust

[solid crown]

english please

ah

I mean if the burn in gets really bad id rather get a different monitor

[winter lantern]

Sell it used on marketplace 🔥

[solid crown]

yeah for $100 lol

[winter lantern]

And just lie

[solid crown]

nah im not a scumbag

[winter lantern]

Burnin cant get that bad

Unless it's the Taskbar or desktop screen

[winter lantern]

Image retention trust

Also that was probably some tv that displayed news only

[solid crown]

yes it was but still

it will either get burned in or very dim to compensate

[sinful cobalt]

@thorn pewter

[winter lantern]

Bro could get a 5090 with the cost of all that

💔

[sinful cobalt]

ur actually wrong

[winter lantern]

A 4090

[sinful cobalt]

by a long shot

[winter lantern]

What even is the price of a 5090
3k?

[weak osprey]

Nice name lol

[winter lantern]

It's facts

[weak osprey]

I like it

I mean she’s manipulating asf but other than that

[winter lantern]

Literally her entire character but she ight

Literally her name 💔

[sinful cobalt]

MG dynames- $70
MG QanT Full saber- $90
HG 10x$30= $300 (rough estimation, these costs vary)
$460 just for all model kits

in sgd btw, 4090 msrp is 2.6k sgd

im not gonna count peripherals bcs they are related to the setup

if u wanna count robin thats another $150 sgd

[winter lantern]

Dang they're only like 30-50 each

[sinful cobalt]

If I count every single box in the photo excluding the monitor thats 1.3k sgd

if i count the monitor its basically 2.1

even if i count the b580 its still short of a 4090

a 5090 here retails for 4.7k sgd btw

so its nowhere close to a 5090

[winter lantern]

This reminded me to do my dailies 💔

[sinful cobalt]

im doing them rn

[winter lantern]

Doing dailies at 2am 🔥

[crimson abyss]

Would that make them nightlies instead?

[sinful cobalt]

yes indeed

[wicked spruce]

what is that

[fresh escarp]

a 55inch?

[fresh escarp]

which cpu?

[gilded harness]

rn 2200g

probably gonna find 3400g for $25

(best cpu for this prebuild because fuck acer)

[sinful cobalt]

o he said ew to the 9070xt box as i said Im a sucker for good box art

[sinful cobalt]

cant let gang know i fw this

[rigid fjord]

if the bios allows it, you could use a 5600g/5700g in it

[solid crown]

yea

[fresh escarp]

doesn't make sense for my usecase lol

[random gyro]

If i have a 5090 that is liquid cooled (5090) where in my case do i put its radiator?

[gilded harness]

doubt so because this is the last bios for this motherboard

damn acer!

[rigid fjord]

what mobo?

[gilded harness]

acer TC 390 (prebuild)

[tidal geyser]

in the case

[random gyro]

Ty

Your bio checks out

No i mean, if i already got a cpu AIO and want a GPU one too, is there a way i can make it happen?

[tidal geyser]

but i imagine you have a AIO for the cpu with the rad up top so for the gpu put the rad front tubes down

something like this

[rigid fjord]

if you want to use 2 aio's, then you'd want to get alphacool's eisbaer nad eiswolf

[random gyro]

Aaah thank you lots , i couldnt find much info online

[tidal geyser]

nau

[rigid fjord]

yes

[tidal geyser]

meow

https://tenor.com/view/furiosa-smol-kitten-howlers-den-gif-9998136404490438398

[random gyro]

Oh

[rigid fjord]

this is using 3 aio's via nzxt's g12 adapters

[tidal geyser]

shuhs

anyways just rad front and top is good

[rigid fjord]

yeah, you can combine them into being a custom loop

[random gyro]

Never heared of that imma look intoit , ty!

[tidal geyser]

it looks older then me

does it even have a block for a 5090

[rigid fjord]

thatt's the v1, it'll be the v2's like this for 30 series onwards

[limber nacelle]

get the same card and block if ur gonna custom loop or it gets jank

[tidal geyser]

i do wonder, why a watercooled 5090 why not just air

[rigid fjord]

for example

[tidal geyser]

yeah tbh just go fully custom

[random gyro]

I got that way cheaprr

[tidal geyser]

what under 2.5k ?

[tidal geyser]

fyi 5090 is meant to be 2000USD

[random gyro]

No 3k euros xD

[limber nacelle]

I had to throw a shit ton of 90 degree adapters in cause I had two diff aib cards

[rigid fjord]

that actually cost's more than the 2 alphacool aio's

[limber nacelle]

bykski

[tidal geyser]

for a good reason

[rigid fjord]

ze fans are back to front

[tidal geyser]

i was looking into those thngys for my 7900 XTX but only heard fucky things about it

[limber nacelle]

its ok I can't fit the side panel anyways

[tidal geyser]

and also now PTMed it and it does not run at 110c anymore at 300w

[limber nacelle]

so it doesn't actually matter

[tidal geyser]

well hot spot ofc

[limber nacelle]

if I had the side panel on id have to flip them

[random gyro]

Or ... is a cpu cool tower also good ?

[tidal geyser]

air cooling for both are good

[limber nacelle]

I prefer a nice tower/dual tower personally

[random gyro]

Already boguht the 5090

[tidal geyser]

o wait yeha ya have a water 5090

yeah said that

i suspect 9800X3D?

for the cpu

if its a 7800X3D dat would be big funny

[granite sundial]

cpu is getting to 85c at a full all core load but fans are very loud should i turn down the curve to like 40 or 50% at 85c

[random gyro]

9950x3d

[sleek ibex]

[tidal geyser]

yeah air cooling will be way more then fine

[limber nacelle]

hi bass

[tidal geyser]

you had a am5 cpu right?

[sleek ibex]

[granite sundial]

7600

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-zoning-out-cat-stare-black-cat-black-cat-tiktok-stare-gif-6568742496074847242

[rigid fjord]

funnily enough the top part of the alphacool waterblocks can be unscrewed and attached to the pump block of an eiswolf

[random gyro]

Any good brand ?

[tidal geyser]

then you are underheating

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/dies-cat-gif-21483615

[granite sundial]

at 100% all core it gets to 85c, in a cpu intensive game like last of us part 2 at 70-80% usage its at 80c

[tidal geyser]

NOT brands, ya never really buy a brand, when you buy something its the product you get

[granite sundial]

95c is safe temp so i should set it to go to 100% when it hits 90c?

[tidal geyser]

anyways, thermalright 120 se

[tidal geyser]

its meant to be 95c

[granite sundial]

30% is barely audible with case fans, 40% is when i can start to hear it

cpu cooler even at 100% isnt very audible its the case fans

cpu cooler at 100% is same noise as case fans at like 45%

noise floor in my room is very high though right now i have the window open (live near a major road) and a fan on

[granite sundial]

why would u put the pump on the gpu?

[tidal geyser]

smol setup

[empty orchid]

If it's just case fans you could replace them for quieter ones.

[rigid fjord]

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-ez-fit-140res-d5-combo-compact-reservoir-black-coo-phk-03501.html intersting from phanteks

[granite sundial]

my case has a ton of airflow and the gpu even at 100% barely hits 70c so i think ill just turn down the case fan curve way down
