[tidal geyser]

what country

[lapis talon]

plus the prices of pc parts are increasing in my country so I have to snag one right now or overspend on it later

[lapis talon]

Bangladesh

[tidal geyser]

rip uhmmmmm hmmmm, wellll i have no clue what the prices of PSUs are

[tidal geyser]

grab anything A or B tier https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview?pli=1#

[lapis talon]

well just recommend a budget A tier one

any good one will do

[tidal geyser]

i have no clue

[lapis talon]

I just need a lead to get started on searching for one

[tidal geyser]

i dono most corsair units are good

[lapis talon]

would B+ tier work?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tender jewel]

wheres a good place to figure out good prices for gpus? Theres a refurb 3070ti for $350 that I want to double check is worth getting for my gf

[tidal geyser]

bad

[tidal geyser]

what is the price of a 3070

[tender jewel]

there isnt one for sale

[tidal geyser]

the ti is only a tiny bit better

[tidal geyser]

what country

[tender jewel]

USA

[tidal geyser]

there very much are refurbed 3070s

[lapis talon]

the fact that im overpaying like $150 for a 9070xt

[tidal geyser]

750?

[tender jewel]

Not at Microcenter lol

[lapis talon]

750 is the base price of the Sapphire Pure version

[tidal geyser]

ngl how the USA is doing rn that is cheap

[lapis talon]

I mean

[tender jewel]

Oh I could also do a 3060 for $230

[lapis talon]

I guess yeah but 1 lac taka for a mid-high end card is crazy imo

[tidal geyser]

ngl that should only be like 150

[tender jewel]

and then i might not need to upgrade her psu

[tidal geyser]

what psu

[lapis talon]

random question but hows the Arc B580

[tender jewel]

500W

[tidal geyser]

what cpu

[tidal geyser]

what psu

[tender jewel]

gonna get a new one. Probably Ryzen 5

idk didnt check that closely

[lapis talon]

what

[tidal geyser]

the r5 1600 is HORRIBLE its like as good as a i5 4th gen

[tender jewel]

why would i get a 1600

i said a new one

[tidal geyser]

well you never said what r5

[lapis talon]

lmao

[tender jewel]

like 7th gen or something. doesnt really matter

[tidal geyser]

there are many r5 people would call new

[lapis talon]

was about to say that

[tidal geyser]

not a thing

[lapis talon]

think he meant 7000 series

[tender jewel]

she*

[abstract wigeon]

nvidia graphs

[lapis talon]

she meant 7000 series probably

[tender jewel]

but yes

i meant 7000 series

[tidal geyser]

latest gen being ryzen 9000 or zen 5
ryzen 7000 being last gen and zen 4
ryzen 5000 being last last gen but the latest r5 non X3D kinda on am4 and is zen 3

[tidal geyser]

that is last gen but yes you can but it new

what does she have now

[tender jewel]

not for sale. B570 is $280. Its what I was eyeing before

[tidal geyser]

it is

[lapis talon]

ohh, I was considering that one as well

[tidal geyser]

wait, USA doing USA things again give me a moment to check

[tender jewel]

im talking about microcenter please dip out of this convo youre not helpful

[tidal geyser]

welp

[tidal geyser]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bwh2FT/onix-lumi-oc-arc-b580-12-gb-video-card-8346-00278

[tidal geyser]

well you too, you just said 500w psu

[tender jewel]

lol

[elder quarry]

if anyones here is helpful it is sim

[gleaming rose]

hes the best one here

if you're calling him unhelpful i bet you're projecting

[lapis talon]

is this considered lucky

[elder quarry]

attack the d point

[tidal geyser]

anyways if we go by 500w psu then 100w for cpu then you can do anything from a b580 to maybe a 3070 ti as the 3070 ti really does not use as much power as people think

but i really really do need to know what 500w

[gleaming rose]

hru sim

[tidal geyser]

as i do not see many good 500w PSU

[frail topaz]

AHHHH NEW CAR

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/sayaw-dancing-danc-dance-gif-16011329613171544950

[tender jewel]

look being told i shouldnt pay for than 150 for a refurb 3060 when the cheapest one im seeing on jawa for a used one is 290 and the cheapest sold listing on ebay are 220

[elder quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/alerta-gif-5236527704028489034

[tidal geyser]

cat

[lapis talon]

mrecedes

[tender jewel]

hard to take that seriously

[frail topaz]

GLK 250 2014

[gleaming rose]

that's because 3060s aren't really particularly good gpus
go red

[lapis talon]

sheeesh

how much was it

[elder quarry]

HE DID IT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxrlCBkCLWA

[frail topaz]

6.5

[tidal geyser]

well its still true, not really worth that much, what are the prices for the rx 6600 xt

[lapis talon]

wait fr?

[frail topaz]

Yup

[tidal geyser]

with some luck and some haggeling its possible enough to go 150 for a 6600 xt and it is a bit better then a 3060

[frail topaz]

We bought it with 200k km from a dads friend in canada

[tidal geyser]

but out of all of this the 3070 ti looks best

[elder quarry]

oo sory war shit

[tender jewel]

theres a 6600 non xt for 220 and a 7600 for 299

[lapis talon]

this thing costs 200k USD in my country

[gleaming rose]

help request
look inside
bitching because they don't like the help they're getting from volunteers

[tidal geyser]

oof

[lapis talon]

dayumnnn

[elder quarry]

[tidal geyser]

the US doing a big funny is not helping me much

[lapis talon]

7600 gpu?

[tender jewel]

yeah https://www.microcenter.com/product/667476/gigabyte-amd-radeon-rx-7600-gaming-overclocked-triple-fan-8gb-gddr6-pcie-40-graphics-card

[tidal geyser]

i am so used to 3070s going for like 250 ish

[lapis talon]

oh

[frail topaz]

Ouch wtf

[elder quarry]

the best programming language is markdown

[gleaming rose]

yes because markdown is a programming language

[elder quarry]

exactly it's in my interperetert

[lapis talon]

business idea would be to bring your car to my country and sell it for 13x the price you bought it for

but then there are taxes and stuff so that might not be that good of an idea

[tender jewel]

yeah - the specific reason i want help is because im trying to figure out whats worth it or not given that the us is doing a big funny and i dont have a choice to just wait it out. im willing to take a bit of price/performance hit to go microcenter rather than newegg or amazon or somewhere else

[tidal geyser]

considering everything its not THAT bad

[tidal geyser]

welp what psu was it

if its a good 500w unit r5 7600 and 3070 ti can be possible

[tender jewel]

some evga 500. Ill have to check what power connectors it has later shes gaming

[lapis talon]

this is the price after import tax in my country

so maybe it is a good idea

[tidal geyser]

i am 90% sure its going to be a white unit so n1 or w1 both known to be BAD

[tender jewel]

its bronze i think

[tidal geyser]

oo

[lapis talon]

sim, hows MSI MPG for PSUs

[elder quarry]

look

it's complaining

[tender jewel]

also apologies for hostility - i kind of projected a certain level of - willfully not accounting for the messed up market in your price estimates rather than it being a simple mistake.

[tidal geyser]

its good enough

[tender jewel]

ive talked with a lot of people (and many years ago was myself) the kind of person to be a real stickler for things

[lapis talon]

on par with corsair?

[tidal geyser]

is it a bq

[tidal geyser]

MPG and a lot of corsair units are A tier

[gleaming rose]

its all good
you should see some of the assholes that come through here

[tender jewel]

apologies for the garbage quality - had to take that pic while she was playing games

[tidal geyser]

if so then eh 50/50 as its good enough

[lapis talon]

alr

[elder quarry]

tolfd you md was the best language

[tender jewel]

i dont remember which evga 500 units sucked - id feel warry putting the 3070ti on it

[elder quarry]

google

[tender jewel]

also does the 3060 being a 12gb card change anything

especially given that she wants to play indiana jones lol

[elder quarry]

yes

[tidal geyser]

well yea

i think at 1440p the 3070 ti will not even start up

[tender jewel]

oh thats true that one is 8gb

[tidal geyser]

its not on the psu list i follow sooo yeeaah got no clue how good it is

[tidal geyser]

@livid fern dis one not on the list, EVGA 500 B1

shit i lied i just cant read

sorry for ping

[tender jewel]

pings are alright

[tidal geyser]

wat

no wait, i was wrong yet again

that is gold b1

evga cant name anything right can they

b1 bronze is not there

welp its not on the list

anyways not a lot of modern cards will even like to do indiana jones.

[tender jewel]

so as best as I can tell - $230 for the 3060 is a better deal than the $280 for the b570. and while the 3070ti might be a better value - since shes running a 1440p monitor - she might be better off with the 3060?

[tidal geyser]

for only one game tho

and for 3070 ti new psu too

since i do not have enough info about the psu i would not trust it with anything more power needy then the 3060

[tender jewel]

yeah but its also the most demanding game she would play

[tidal geyser]

with the 3060 she would at least be able to get into the game but nah tbh could always look at a rx 6700 xt or 6750 xt

[tender jewel]

does dlss increase or decrease vram usage? She has a 1440p monitor but im not sure she needs to play at native res. She was originally playing it on her brothers Series S back at christmas lol

[tidal geyser]

again the game does not even start at 1440p with 8GB of vram

maybe i was wrong

[tender jewel]

i think you have to crank everything to low

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18ZPqkNKuOk this guy seems to have it running

[tidal geyser]

already watching it

[tender jewel]

lol

[tidal geyser]

aint nvidia drivers just perfect

[tender jewel]

love nvidia with all my heart 💚

(thats a joke - i might green but not that green)

[tidal geyser]

o wow the 3070 ti is doing pretty well at least at 1080p

[rugged tusk]

Hi!

[tidal geyser]

but once the vram runs out going to 1440p you still keep the ok fps but it becomes stuttery

maybe the reason why it works at 1440p is since he changes res in game

maybe i think by the look of it

[tender jewel]

i miss when microcenter would let you bundle any cpu and mobo together

[tidal geyser]

did they

i only though it was the bundle thingy they pre did

[tender jewel]

it used to be you got a flat like

30 or 50 off

[tidal geyser]

wellll america did also do a funny

[hybrid yacht]

How do I get a bunch of post messages?

[tidal geyser]

wut

i so badly want a MC but at the same time there is not enough people where i live

[tender jewel]

alright - seemingly given the usa is doing a little goofy - if i end up with either of the refurb cards im not getting totally extorted so

we'll see what were feeling when we go in a little bit

Thanks for the help - sorry again for the hostility. @tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

btw the a650bn is CHEAP only 55$ on newegg
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8LNxFT/msi-mag-a-bn-650-w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-mag-a650bn

[tidal geyser]

no worrys

[rugged tusk]

anyone know how to edit a monitor inf file to include 1080p 120hz and 4k 60hz?

[hybrid yacht]

Hang on, let me enable service mode, unplug hdd, unplug 2 fans, remove cmos battery & remove 1 ramstick

[tidal geyser]

its a bit on my side too as i like being like a bit pushy or a bit difficult ish at first but i mostly use it to feel out a person and how to speak and such

[tender jewel]

it be like that

[tidal geyser]

are you having issues with the pc not starting up

[hybrid yacht]

nah

[tidal geyser]

is the computer angry at you

[candid cairn]

what mb is good for am5?

[tidal geyser]

a am5 motherboard

am5 cpus really are not needy

[candid cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-bro-you-got-the-whole-squad-laughing-sonic-reaction-gif-tails-knuckles-gif-26612055

[true stirrup]

F1

[carmine light]

How old is mxm is it likely my laptop graphics card is on one

I think theu didnt make it on mxm

[cursive storm]

hello kitty forever in my screen

[whole garden]

[gleaming rose]

LMAO

[cursive storm]

wdym bru

[carmine light]

I think it is on an mxm board

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaaa that is not a good sign

[cursive storm]

do i jus refresh it

[carmine light]

Is it like pci express where i can swap it

[tidal geyser]

when you use it again tommorow it will be gone

or what monitor is it?

[cursive storm]

its already been there for over a month

[tidal geyser]

technically yes but its really not worth it

[tidal geyser]

WELLLLLLLLL then no

[cursive storm]

theres no getting rid of it

[carmine light]

Its a geforce 7800 card

[tidal geyser]

already on the new gen

[cursive storm]

or unless i replace the whole screen

[tidal geyser]

is it even OLED

[cursive storm]

dont know

[tidal geyser]

did it cost a lot

[cursive storm]

but i dont think so

hmmm, $180

[tidal geyser]

so no

RIP LCD burn in is HARD to do

[carmine light]

Apparently the laptop gpu is 500mb

Massive vram

[cursive storm]

i dont understand, my main monitor ive had for way longer and been on the same thing for exessive hours and yet it doesnt even have burn in

i think the other one is just old and shitty

samsung things

[gleaming imp]

Yo could someone help me out? Doing my first build and everything looks like it’s plugged in and set up right but monitor not displaying anything (Yes the hdmi is plugged in to the gpu) but when I do plug the hdmi into the motherboard’s hdmi slot, I can see the bios

[tidal geyser]

plug into the gpu and restart

[gleaming imp]

Still nothing

[tidal geyser]

is the gpu plugged in well

can i get a pic of the inside of the pc

[gleaming imp]

I believe so, I’ve reseated it twice

Could be I’m not using the right cable to power it? But the fans on the bottom of it are spinning, not sure if that’s a good enough indicator

[tidal geyser]

i dono, try to install windows and install drivers

[gleaming imp]

I can do that without gpu? Just plug hdmi into motherboard slot?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[gleaming imp]

Okay thanks

[tidal geyser]

since you are getting a display output then why not

[random gyro]

geeforce

[tidal geyser]

geeeforces

[tidal geyser]

maybe its missing too many ROPS

anyways should be fixed by now

[livid fern]

Its 2013
We yeet everything older than 2014

[tidal geyser]

BUUU

[fallen terrace]

What do I do vroo

[tidal geyser]

setup pin

[sage olive]

Guys I need some help. A game was asking me to turn on secure boot, went into bios and it said I needed to enroll in some platform key thing, so I did. Restarted pc and it wont even go into bios, just blackscreen.

Cleared cmos removing the battery and shorting pins. (While PSU was unplugged)

Tried to boot with no drives or anything and wont work still.

[tidal geyser]

turn on CSM

[fallen terrace]

It says you need to download an app from Microsoft store and when I click yes nothing happens

[sage olive]

I cannot enter bios.

[stuck sedge]

does anyone know how to fix my massive stuttering issue

when Im running firefox or a game its so laggy

[tidal geyser]

what motherboard

[tidal geyser]

specs

[tidal geyser]

huh not really sure what to do with that, not had the issue myself

[stuck sedge]

r5 5860hs and rtx 4050

[tidal geyser]

how much ram

[sage olive]

B760M H DDR4

[tidal geyser]

no qflash

[sage olive]

Has no Qflash+ just normal Qflash

[sage olive]

Yep.

[tidal geyser]

normal qflash?

anyways i think you killed your bios

[sage olive]

It has a feature called Qflash but no button on the board or anything…

[stuck sedge]

16gb

[tidal geyser]

that kind only means it can update while in windows

[tidal geyser]

what are the temps

and are you able to set the laptop to a game mode or max performance mode

[dark hollow]

Guys I need urgent help please

One of my fans are not spinning does anyone know ab pcs?

[sage olive]

I heard if I have a stick with the right bios and renamed that if I leave it plugged in for like 10 min it might detect it and try to flash to it but idk

[dark hollow]

help me in dms please

[stuck sedge]

where to check that

[tidal geyser]

why is it urgent

[tidal geyser]

install hwinfo then open in sensor only mode

[dark hollow]

Because I have to leave soon and I won’t attend the pc for a couple of days and I’d prefer to get this fixed so my younger brother can play

Can someone help please

in dms preferably

[frigid blade]

In DMs:
“Please send 5 billion dollars to this crypto address for me to send you 10 billion”

[tidal geyser]

no

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[dark hollow]

Cs I wanted to hop in vc

[tidal geyser]

ew

[dark hollow]

Can anyone help?

it’s more easier in vc

[tidal geyser]

how

[dark hollow]

one of my fans are not spinning

[tidal geyser]

so hardware failure

[dark hollow]

I’ve had no issues whatsoever before

how do I fix that ?

[tidal geyser]

the same way you fix a broken phone screen

[dark hollow]

is there no home fix ?

It’s not been damaged or anything

[tidal geyser]

how

[dark hollow]

It’s been kept in good condition the whole time

and just randomly one fan stopped spinning

[tidal geyser]

you know when it spins it gets damaged

anything moving needs to come to a stop at one point

[tidal geyser]

can you spin it by hand

and is it easy to do or hard

[dark hollow]

Yeah but it won’t start it

Easy

The rgbs are one

it’s just one fan

I can send pictures of it if u need

[tidal geyser]

yea

[dark hollow]

On the chat ?

Or dms

[tidal geyser]

here

[tidal geyser]

fyi

[tidal geyser]

o cheap fans

[dark hollow]

That’s the back panel

does anything need pushing in or something ?

[tidal geyser]

its dead

[dark hollow]

What do u mean

[tidal geyser]

well the fan that stopped spinning stopped spinnin forever

[dark hollow]

it only stopped spinning today

[wind radish]

would you guys say if a pin concerning the memory channel B broke off would the system at least post or is no life signal a normal thing?

[tidal geyser]

well yeah that is how everything that dies dies

[tidal geyser]

it would work as long as there is no ram in the b channel

so slot 3 and 4

[wind radish]

hmmm

[tidal geyser]

also its quick to not see the port right and it being a different pin

[stuck sedge]

btw dsicord and some other apps are running decent

[wind radish]

is the ram and gpu rgb turning on a life signal for the motherboard or the psu?

[dark hollow]

What u mean

[wind radish]

cause the issue might be caused by those two

[tidal geyser]

not you

[tidal geyser]

what parts do you have and give me the story

[tidal geyser]

you could also try to DDU and install 566.36

[dark hollow]

So how do I fix my problem

I take it to the shop?

[tidal geyser]

you take out the fan and put a new one in

could try and contact the company that made the case and ask if you can get a fan

[dark hollow]

I have a 1 year warrantee on this

[stuck sedge]

where do I check the temps

[dark hollow]

I can ask if they can replace it or something

[tidal geyser]

you just need a new fan

[tidal geyser]

is it in sensor mode?

[wind radish]

basically when trying to remove the cooler it took out the cpu with it too and bent the pins

[tidal geyser]

and its only 1 of at least 4 so you will be fine for a long time

[stuck sedge]

what that

[wind radish]

after that I got them all upright though one of them broke

[tidal geyser]

aaa good old am4

[stuck sedge]

and how do I switch to that

[wind radish]

ikr

[tidal geyser]

when you opend hwinfo

[wind radish]

anyways I just got the system to post with a single stick of ram

so no mobo or psu issues

[tidal geyser]

pic of the cpu

[dark hollow]

Which one do I buy

[tidal geyser]

yay ok ram channel b ded

[tidal geyser]

anything

[wind radish]

might as well grab a 5700x and make it a server

[tidal geyser]

you can buy anything you want

[tidal geyser]

yea

[wind radish]

try to make them look the same I would say

[dark hollow]

Will it still link to the RGB ?

[tidal geyser]

you could just keep the cpu you have now and just use slot 1 and 2

[wind radish]

it should

thought the leds used might differ and it might not be the exact same color

[wind radish]

that is an option too yeah

[tidal geyser]

no but if you want that then hmm, you could see if you find a 3 pin argb fan but its not too common

[dark hollow]

What if I get the same exact fan

[wind radish]

do you think they are quality fans

[tidal geyser]

well yeah

[tidal geyser]

one is already dead XD

[stuck sedge]

the temps are like 50s and when I open discord its 60s for cpu

[tidal geyser]

again try to ask the company you got the case form not the store that a fan failed and you are willing to replace it yourself

[dark hollow]

Idk I just want them to look the same

[wind radish]

now let me try to make the system post with two of the stick and might as well paste the cpu now since it gets hot af

[tidal geyser]

is it laggy

[dark hollow]

it’s a prebuilt so I can ask the company right ?

[wind radish]

I would say change one by one as they break

[tidal geyser]

worth a try

[dark hollow]

ok

Is my pc still usable ?

[wind radish]

yup

[dark hollow]

if one fan isn’t working

[tidal geyser]

already said it 3 times

[dark hollow]

what will happen tho ? Will it be bad

[tidal geyser]

yes

[dark hollow]

sorry I didn’t see

[wind radish]

lol

[tidal geyser]

no wait

[dark hollow]

just temps will rise ?

[tidal geyser]

it will not be bad

[dark hollow]

Why not

[tidal geyser]

eh probs not

[wind radish]

the temps might not even see a rise

[tidal geyser]

you still have 3 fans left

[dark hollow]

Ok

cool

[stuck sedge]

well yea

its just so random cuz this never happened before

[tidal geyser]

and nothing in task manager is at a high load

[stuck sedge]

only firefox 1000 mb of emmory

[tidal geyser]

hmm, how new is it

did it suddenly just start happening or is this a issue since you got it

[stuck sedge]

it just happneed since yesterday and i had it for a couple of months

[tidal geyser]

did anything special happen yesterday

like did you update your drivers?

[stuck sedge]

i updated my windows ands nvidia drivers to see if it would fix

[tidal geyser]

that last part might be why

current nvidia drivers are ass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn8z39tiEL0

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/237719/

use ddu to wipe the old drivers then install the drivers i sent

its the latest most stable drivers

Honestly a great movie

[tidal geyser]

yea

[wind radish]

yo would the channel b affect the systems performance for server use cases

[empty quartz]

?

[tidal geyser]

not really

[tidal geyser]

do not worry about it

[elder quarry]

that's fun, very nice for free too!

like 10 drive bays

[empty quartz]

No

[elder quarry]

channel b

[tidal geyser]

ram channels

[elder quarry]

like memory

[empty quartz]

Ah

[elder quarry]

ah lol

[tidal geyser]

he broke am4 cpu pin so it no worke no more

[elder quarry]

a memory channel?

lucky tbh

[tidal geyser]

b

[elder quarry]

only one pin?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[elder quarry]

e

[mellow shadow]

solder on another pin

[elder quarry]

lol

[mellow shadow]

whats the worst that can happen

it breaks?

[tidal geyser]

you break the cpu

[elder quarry]

it's an am4 cpu. It's fineee

[mellow shadow]

its already broken

[tidal geyser]

well not fully

[elder quarry]

partially

[mellow shadow]

oh

[tidal geyser]

only ram channel b broke

i just got this on youtube

[elder quarry]

lpl

[wind radish]

so Im pasting the cpu and closing up the build until the ssd arrives lets see how it does

if any problems occur during usage I will probably buy a 5700x and call it a day

[hybrid acorn]

Watched it, pretty nice

Cool look at what career opportunities you can have in the field, travelling setting up clients

[frigid blade]

That’s my dream job

[elder quarry]

hi

[upper abyss]

hello 👨‍🦲

[elder quarry]

hu

somewan revive chat

[lean flame]

question Do people still use Hard disk Drives?

or are we at a point where HDD's are out the door?

[elder quarry]

yes

I bought 2 today

[lean flame]

cool.

[elder quarry]

why would we

they are cheap and reliable

what more do you want

[lean flame]

because idk solid state is just faster and cheap or something?

[frank forum]

They're still good for storing normal files thats not games etc

[elder quarry]

ssds aren't any cheap

[latent pasture]

no for anything more than 4tb

which a lot of people still need

not to mention datacenters lol

dont some storage companies still use tape storage bc its just cheap per unit

[true stirrup]

You don't need speed for cold storage

[kindred halo]

And safer

Less prone to corruption

[elder quarry]

@kindred halo were you on linux

somewhere in my brain it feels decently likely

[kindred halo]

I was planning to

And, elaborate a little?

[elder quarry]

idk just wondering

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[elder quarry]

and what made you choose windows still

[kindred halo]

I haven't gotten a chance to switch yet lol

And I was only planning to use Linux for a niche use case

As much as my autism wants it, I can't trade program compatibility for a niche

[elder quarry]

what use case

[elder quarry]

& what program

[kindred halo]

Okay so

Have you played Fnaf 3 before

[kindred halo]

No direct roblox support iirc

[elder quarry]

it does inoficially

[kindred halo]

I know, on Wine

[elder quarry]

idk how it performs but it's using waydroid and waydroid is good

[elder quarry]

fnaf 1 and fnaf 2

[kindred halo]

But I'd rather not take my chances with launchers tbh

[kindred halo]

Oh, fair enough

Well uhmmm, have you atleast seen gameplay of it?

[elder quarry]

maybe 1 sec

[kindred halo]

I can just send you the relevant bit

[elder quarry]

oh yes actually I think I've played fnaf 3 but didn't like it so I have like 0 hours

[kindred halo]

Oh lol

Do you remember the maintenance panel? And the beep that came with it?

[elder quarry]

no

[kindred halo]

Oh okay one second

[elder quarry]

once again this was a few years ago

[kindred halo]

https://youtu.be/FukZdaNCEHY?si=RyMH_jEOlsOoTxbR
7:33

[kindred halo]

That's fair that's fair

[stuck sedge]

What do I do when I deleted my current drivers

[elder quarry]

get new ones

O NO THIS IS THE ONE

I liked this

[stuck sedge]

I can’t get the newest one tho cuz it works like shit

[elder quarry]

I did not like fnaf 2 iirc
yes

yeah what's up with the beep?

[kindred halo]

Pretty much
I wanna buy a speaker that connects to the motherboard's speaker header, and program it to play that beep like in-game upon bootup

At the same time, the screen would have similar visuals, like [BOOTING VIDEO SYSTEMS] or the equivalent for audio

And Linux, according to my own research, is both the only one that allows specific programs to have priority boot, and to allow custom splash screens

[elder quarry]

OHH
you mean a buzzer ahh

[kindred halo]

No, THAT specific beep

Not any generic buzzer

[kindred halo]

UNLESS it can be mechanically programmed to work right upon flow of electricity

[stuck sedge]

My display ain’t working tho

Like my 2nd one

[tidal geyser]

its meant to do that

[elder quarry]

e

[tidal geyser]

well unless you installed the 566.36 driver

[kindred halo]

It's either this or the Linux route

[stuck sedge]

Well my first display doesn’t work

[kindred halo]

Although I mostly abandoned the idea

I am too stupid and I might just permanently fuck over my motherboard

[edgy holly]

opinions on the ak820 pro ?

[tired bear]

opinon.ps1 : The term 'opinon.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

[elder quarry]

why not just run linux cuz why not, it's nice

[kindred halo]

I don't really need it, ig

Too much incompatibility out the box

[opal gull]

Hello!
Can someone help me identify an old case?
Looked all over to know what it is and nothing. Only thing I've got was that it was sold from a company/business called Grey Computer (www.greycomputer.de).

[edgy holly]

imma go ask in keyboardi think

[kindred halo]

@elder quarry I've heard that Ubuntu / Mint are user friendly, though?

[tired bear]

yea

[stuck sedge]

so your saying this is the most stable

[elder quarry]

I have no opinion on this. I've used linux for quite a while and I can't really see what the challenge is

[tidal geyser]

yes

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[stuck sedge]

its quite old but ight

[tired bear]

every linux os is user friendly if you know bash

[tidal geyser]

well the new ones are the ones you REALLY do not want

[elder quarry]

well linux shell commands

[opal gull]

Here's a picture if you need help.

[kindred halo]

The only code I can write is cout

[tired bear]

just like windows is user friendly if you know powershell

[kindred halo]

Anything else and I panic then combust

[elder quarry]

eh idk about that

[kindred halo]

Try taking an image of the case's front and run reverse image search

[tired bear]

well ps and registry

no gui needed

[elder quarry]

not realy

[tired bear]

yes realy

[elder quarry]

linux would be better tbh

[opal gull]

Tried that already, nothing.

From my understanding, its a 2006 case

[kindred halo]

Nothing else comes to mind then, sorry

[elder quarry]

I don't think it's a case alone, it's an OEM prebuilt pc meant for buisnesses

[kindred halo]

That's older than me-
Yeah I don't think you'll get much results from Google

[kindred halo]

Case has combat ready written on it

[elder quarry]

probably proprietary or weird form factor

[kindred halo]

It's a gaming case

[elder quarry]

also why the FUCK do you hav that cpu socket completely bare

[opal gull]

I just need help identifying the case itself, nothing else

[elder quarry]

prebuilt gaming machine? Have you seen alienware

[kindred halo]

I meant, it's not a business prebuilt

I don't think a business needs a combat ready case, unless it's USMC / Army administration

[swift moss]

spicy ui from 1999

[opal gull]

No, everything thats in there is a replacement for whatever there was.

[elder quarry]

once again, it's probably OEM, and comes with the prebuilt. Have any S/N or anything

[elder quarry]

lightdm

[kindred halo]

Also quick thing

[swift moss]

??

[kindred halo]

Should I really actually bother with Linux

[stuck sedge]

...

[glacial tulip]

this the moon landing pc

[kindred halo]

Because I am a bit stupid in terms of coding lmao

[elder quarry]

whatever

[tidal geyser]

o ffs

[elder quarry]

LINUX != CODING!!!

[kindred halo]

Thing's from 2006 you're like 40 years off </3

[tidal geyser]

its using the igpu

[kindred halo]

Heard that it's a big part of it

Can I atleast operate Google & steam normally

[opal gull]

No, other than a model#
PC61184HO2*11488

[stuck sedge]

oh how do I switch

I installed the drivers btw

[glacial tulip]

nah this the apollo pc

[kindred halo]

And most applications WITHOUT much hassle (launchers aren't included as hassle)

[glacial tulip]

this that 4kb of ram pc

[tired bear]

just get ubuntu or mint

[elder quarry]

or arch :3

[kindred halo]

Which of the two

[kindred halo]

I'd rather not

[limpid dune]

yeah, the firewire dates that case. does the motherboard have any hints?

[elder quarry]

arch is nice

e lol

[limpid dune]

PFFT mb I hit the wrong emoji

[elder quarry]

HEY IT IS

[tired bear]

what do you have nvidia or amd gpu?

[limpid dune]

for beginners, mint

for pros... whatever you want, but I still use mint 💀

honorable mention; ubuntu, also good

[kindred halo]

Currently.. Intel iGPU (HD 4600)
Planned is either a 6700 XT for 235, or 4060 for 330

[elder quarry]

mint is good. I don't like their DE, and I wanna install everything myself

[steel umbra]

⁉️

[tired bear]

yea just install mint

[elder quarry]

it is

[limpid dune]

arch... arch is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

[kindred halo]

What's mint most compatible with?

[steel umbra]

❌ = ✅ ❓ , arch = ❌

[elder quarry]

x

[limpid dune]

everything x86 really

[elder quarry]

arch is awesomeeeeee

[steel umbra]

❌

[limpid dune]

there might even be ARM versions of mint but idk

[elder quarry]

does it have ARM

[abstract wigeon]

how do i get my images and videos from phone to computer without any compression for free 🥺

[limpid dune]

ok I looked it up, no ARM. raspberry pi fans gtfo

[tired bear]

with arch you get cyberpyhosis quickhack applied

[limpid dune]

USB plug

[kindred halo]

Let me inform you that I've no idea what x86 is supposed to mean

[steel umbra]

@elder quarry Ye arch is alrighty pineapple

[tired bear]

intel or amd cpu

[elder quarry]

what

[abstract wigeon]

does that work for iphone aswell?

[limpid dune]

probably, I know iPhones do it, and I think androids do it too

[kindred halo]

i5 4460

Planned 14400F

[steel umbra]

Yes

[limpid dune]

question; are you trans?

I was doing a survey and I found that every single queer person I know has a Haswell-era i5 quad-core, including me and my trans bf

[tired bear]

x86= intel or amd cpu made in last 10+ years

[steel umbra]

Whar i'm not trying to say everyone like certain distros @elder quarry

[limpid dune]

I use Mint on my server because I'm a horrible person

[kindred halo]

Oh okay

[kindred halo]

I am

[limpid dune]

omg. okay. another one. why does this keep happening

[kindred halo]

I would've ruined your results if I bought a 4790K

But my board is dead enough to not be worth it

[tired bear]

other option is risc which is arm or risc-v

[south arrow]

Coincidence i think not!!

[kindred halo]

Haswell is a good budget generation

It performs JUST enough

[limpid dune]

AYOOO I think I have an i5-4690K

[steel umbra]

Big number

[limpid dune]

I was on an i7-3770K for a long time, that thing was OCed to 5 GHz

[kindred halo]

LGA 1155 ew </3

[limpid dune]

it is currently in the Great Motherboard In The Sky 🙏

[tired bear]

yes ofc

[kindred halo]

By any chance

[steel umbra]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kindred halo]

@limpid dune I have a very stupid idea

Z97 & 4790K

[steel umbra]

Without the r!!!!

as usual this is a joke note

[limpid dune]

I live in poland without the la

[kindred halo]

We all know I am stupid you don't have to sugarcoat it

[elder quarry]

it was a joke

[kindred halo]

I suggested a PCIe VRAM card for the iGPU lmao

[limpid dune]

we aint getting 120FPS with this one 🔥

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[kindred halo]

I have a better idea

[elder quarry]

I found a bunch of cheap i7 4790k systems (like 70$) but I chose to buy a server for 10x more :3

[kindred halo]

I7 5775C

[limpid dune]

NOW WE'RE TALKING

[tidal geyser]

well ram is vram

for the igpu

[steel umbra]

I spelled it totally correctly

[kindred halo]

Yeah but what I meant is

DEDICATED VRAM, so the CPU doesn't have to share RAM with the pesky iGPU

[elder quarry]

how about some unified ram

[tidal geyser]

so a gpu

[tired bear]

pcie interface is significantly slower than ram interface

[kindred halo]

I know

Which is why I gave it as an example of a stupid idea I had

[tidal geyser]

and gpu ram transfer speeds is WAY WAY faster then normal ram

[tired bear]

ddr = low latency
gddr = high speed

[kindred halo]

With SLI 980 Tis

[tidal geyser]

yes

gddr is slow in speeds but high in transfer rate

the bandwith it has is MASSIVE while ddr i am not too sure of but yea i would imagine low latency

[tired bear]

it also helps that bus width of most gpu is massive

[tidal geyser]

ofc

[kindred halo]

@limpid dune
The trans ultimata
I5 4690K, 2x SLI 980 TIs, 2*16GB, and a trans flag sticker over the I/O ports' cover

Right under the EVGA logo

[tidal geyser]

there is a reason why the 4060 ti 16GB and 7600 XT is getting as much hate as it is

[upper abyss]

when you order PC parts a few days always feels like ages istg

[elder quarry]

e

[tidal geyser]

lots and lots of vram but not a big enough bus to really use it in games

[kindred halo]

e

[elder quarry]

e

[upper abyss]

e

[steel umbra]

a

[tired bear]

yea, bus width is very important and expensive as die has to be bigger to accomodate extra IO

[elder quarry]

b

[upper abyss]

NO

[steel umbra]

d

[kindred halo]

What the actual fuck

[elder quarry]

e

[kindred halo]

4060 Ti bus is 128bit????

[steel umbra]

eat pineapple pizza with ketchup on top

[whole garden]

ew

[upper abyss]

the 5080 is ragebaiting me so muchhhh

WHAT EVEN IS THAT GPU

[tidal geyser]

ofc just sad that they managed to but like 356 bit or something like that in cheap ish cards in the past and now they do not give a shit

[random gyro]

hi guys. my friend is interested in purchasing a GPU from NVIDIA. he was contemplating if the RTX 4080 is good enough for roblox ( Tower defence games are quite intensive) or if a RTX 4090 would be required ( he is not wanting to spend tha much, but if needed, he will

[tidal geyser]

like a 4060 i understand but like cmon

[upper abyss]

a 5090 would be the best

[random gyro]

i meant 5090 sorry

[kindred halo]

It's too weak for even Tower Defense Blitz

[upper abyss]

thats my boy

[kindred halo]

You need an RTX 6000

[dapper oar]

i dont get how or why I have 2x8 3200mhz ram and 2x8 3600mhz ram and task manager says 3600mhz

[limpid dune]

roblox doesn't run no matter how good the GPU is 😭 I have a 4080 and a 7900X3D and it still runs slow.

really, an RX6600 or a 4060 is all you'll need

[upper abyss]

id either get a 5090 or an nvidia HL100 GPU

[upper abyss]

tf what

[tidal geyser]

heard its GOOD on linux

[upper abyss]

also whats that combo

[kindred halo]

Roblox optimisation

Simply

[elder quarry]

I gotta try it. it's called sobber, what game should I paly

[dapper oar]

Roblox is a CPU based game

[limpid dune]

the linux ports are really fast actually, but they're also bannable and linux

[tired bear]

die size has shrunk = no space for it
thats why pcie lanes get cut too

[dapper oar]

what gpu u have for the game doesnt really matter

[upper abyss]

why you got a 7900x3d

[random gyro]

is louis rossman a reliable source to purchase products if he recommends them or should i stick to people like LTT, marques brownlee mrwhosetheboss etc

[limpid dune]

the 7900X3D was on sale for like $400 when I got it 🤣 also I'm a programmer and I genuinely do use all 12 cores

[kindred halo]

Also @limpid dune
You should try out a game called Hellmet

[limpid dune]

as a person with a good CPU; no it's not. it's just wack

[kindred halo]

It's on roblox

[limpid dune]

roblox is not CPU based. it's CPU cringe

[elder quarry]

hm yes very good experience so far

[kindred halo]

Roblox will eat 2TB of RAM and still have latency issues

[dapper oar]

lol

[upper abyss]

who genuinly buys a 5080?

[kindred halo]

And use 12GB of VRAM to load a spinning stud and it would STILL rubber band

[tidal geyser]

nono its the same size

[kindred halo]

You can't ever perform good on roblox

[tidal geyser]

this card is so dumb but i love it

[elder quarry]

not palying tis, if my name can't be etraeark

[kindred halo]

Anyway goodnight peoples

[limpid dune]

BROOOO they took a bite out of my GPU 😭

[tidal geyser]

5060 ti btw

[kindred halo]

I have transgender business to enact tomorrow

[tired bear]

its smaller than 1060

[dapper oar]

5070 or 4070TI

[kindred halo]

1030

[steel umbra]

Good thing they can't make the pcbs smaller ||50% not foreshadowing||

[tidal geyser]

full x16 and 192 bit

[upper abyss]

depends on usecase and price prolly

[tired bear]

yep

[tidal geyser]

you want LP

[elder quarry]

is the name really pregnant man

[steel umbra]

Low lp and low $$$ without having very low performance

[kindred halo]

5050 PCB is now 2mm thick

If you hold it from one end it snaps

[teal sinew]

if theyre the same price then get the 5070

[random gyro]

its supposed to be inclusive to the trans community

[dapper oar]

assume both are same price

[limpid dune]

2mm is fat ahh for a PCB, 1mm is normal now

[upper abyss]

what are you doing in tc1 :o

[kindred halo]

I meant the board on the rear

[tired bear]

m.2 gpus incoming

[kindred halo]

Oh holy shit it is thin

[random gyro]

guys chatgpt can offer good parts to build a pc with?

[kindred halo]

My 1050 Ti PCB looks barely 3mm

[tidal geyser]

rx 6400 at least in lanes

[elder quarry]

NO GOD NO

[teal sinew]

5070 and 4070Ti perform the same, but the 5070 has 4x frame generation, displayport 2.1, and isnt locked out of features like DLDSR when using Display Stream Compression

if they cost the same then the 5070 is better

[kindred halo]

Already exist

[elder quarry]

e prob nobody else than sim will understand

[kindred halo]

ASRock made one

[upper abyss]

whats the DLDSR and what does DP 2.1 bring

[kindred halo]

M.2_VGA

[tidal geyser]

dldsr renders games at higher resolution, and displayport 2.1 has more bandwidth so youll be able to plug in higher res and higher refresh monitors

[tidal geyser]

maybe its using wrong interface

[tidal geyser]

that psu is a bomb

[tidal geyser]

not possible

rate it out of 10

[steel umbra]

Is this serious

[tidal geyser]

it did 10 gig with iperf3

[steel umbra]

Gotta be a prank

[upper abyss]

oh i guess thats practical, cant think of any reason to use DLDSR though

btw what dlss setting do you use? balanced or quality

[random gyro]

i asked chatgpt

[teal sinew]

i use quality the most often

[steel umbra]

That is the worst setup i've seen so far this year

[tidal geyser]

huh

[upper abyss]

ragebait

[random gyro]

hows it ragebait i literally showed the prompt

[tired bear]

how are you connected to nas?
10g direct connection + 1g for normal network

[tidal geyser]

only sfp+

[steel umbra]

It is outdated chatgpt version isn't it

[tired bear]

chatgpt has old data

[tidal geyser]

and pc is only with 10 gig rj45

but i found the issue

[dense oasis]

Hi

[random gyro]

its free version but its up to date

[limpid dune]

I'm so mad

[tidal geyser]

my router decided my NAS was too cool for 10gig

[upper abyss]

yo the fact your country isnt named in here and you probably didnt use 4o with web connections is ridicilous

[tidal geyser]

that is more like it

[tired bear]

i know what's wrong with it ain't got no gas in it

[tidal geyser]

WTF truenas only wants to auto to 1gig

[upper abyss]

omg

[tidal geyser]

ama reseat the sfp+ cable

[limpid dune]

okay I keep regenerating the prompt and it keeps saying i7-10700K 😭

[steel umbra]

2023 model?

[random gyro]

1080p Gaming: You’ll easily hit 60+ FPS in most AAA games on high settings and even better in lighter titles.

1440p Gaming: You’ll still be able to run most games on medium-high settings at 60 FPS, with a few demanding games dropping to high-medium settings for smoother play.

[upper abyss]

its not about what the build can and cant do like written here

i wont read this, its about getting the best Performance possible with the given budget tailoring it to your needs

[limpid dune]

bro do NOT use chatGPT to judge your computer 😭

[tidal geyser]

it only needed a reseat now it detects as 10gig auto

[dense oasis]

Imma say the one thing noone wants to hear

I have a 3050ti

what are your gpu temps when idle?

[upper abyss]

What does idle mean

Its from my laptop

It was a STEAL

[random junco]

when your gpu is not doing anything intensive

[dense oasis]

Around 50-60

[random junco]

basically when youre not gaming or not mining or anything

[tired bear]

yikes, it reccomended a windows on arm laptop

[random junco]

knew it. mine is always 20-25 for some reason.

fans are at 1000 rpm 😭

[steel umbra]

Very creative i'll give him that

[limpid dune]

bro why is it recommending a WINDOWS ON ARM, stop using chatGPT and start thinking using the brain inside your head

its trustworthy youtubers

not some shit ones

[random junco]

i searched to see if its a real book (couldnt find it)

[random gyro]

hes not paid to say that 😭

[random junco]

why does z+alt not do the same as alt+z ffs

[tired bear]

build quality is there but performance is lacking

[random gyro]

pretty sure louis just uses what doesnt spy on him and repair cost is low

[dense oasis]

Oh lol

[limpid dune]

as a person who dailied a 16 year old thinkpad; I think he's right but I do wish it did have more perf 😭

[random gyro]

hes always on about new systems lock repairability

[random junco]

[ripe spire]

no, some kid yapping in another server abt how snapdragon x elite chip and chromebooks are "soooooo much better" than macbooks

[random junco]

oh fair enough

[tired bear]

but most people cheap out and get a shitty 300$ laptop and then complain about build quality

[random gyro]

i think its best to spend a bit moe if ur planning to use it for years in tech

[tidal geyser]

ngl there is not one thing a arm windows laptop is better at then mac other then price

[ripe spire]

THANK YOU, finally someone with some sense

[random gyro]

[random junco]

[ripe spire]

like bro, macbooks are some of the laptops that last the longest, ik ppl with like almost decade old macbooks that still work perfectly fine

[random gyro]

didnt lenovo say buying used pcs can have viruses in them so dont buy

[random junco]
