[frigid blade]

Oh shit $500

[azure topaz]

especially since the hero isnt super desired lo

[frigid blade]

I can’t go that direction I’m trying to be budget here

[azure topaz]

z890 nova perhaps

[frigid blade]

It sucks finding boards when you have specific requirements and are budgeting

[azure topaz]

Aorus Pro lineup alco reportedly decent at mem if i remember right

[frigid blade]

Oh that might work that nova

It has 5Gb Ethernet

[azure topaz]

and the nova is like acutally good lol

[frigid blade]

If it has 5+Gb Ethernet I can lose an x16 requirement for the NIC

[azure topaz]

x16? why is your nic x16

[frigid blade]

It’s not but generally boards don’t have x16 x8 x4 so I just go for x16 x16 x16 running x16 x4 x4 mode

[azure topaz]

oh okay i thought you neededd the actual lanes lol

[frigid blade]

No no, they are x8 at max those NICs

[upper abyss]

if i screw in a fan is it fine if i just use 2 diagonal screws?

[azure topaz]

weird that theyre even x8 but i guess it makes sense for a dual config kinda

pcie g3 x1 speed is almost enough

[bronze summit]

I think LTT is taunting me

[azure topaz]

cause of your pool pc?

[west blade]

[azure topaz]

computer

[west blade]

The computer of all time

[azure topaz]

why is it’s fly down

[bronze summit]

Actually

[azure topaz]

exposing itself to me rn

[bronze summit]

Turns out she never threw it in the pool

After she destroyed the case she just threw it out the front door

[upper abyss]

[bronze summit]

I managed to recover most of the parts with the only thing I need is

Mobo, and Case

[azure topaz]

slay

[bronze summit]

Problem is

https://tenor.com/view/childish-gambino-this-is-america-donald-glover-gif-11785727

The FUCKING PRICES

[azure topaz]

not bad at all. knew at least the cpu/ram/storage woulda lived

gpu would’ve been sad

[bronze summit]

I have unfortunate news

[azure topaz]

LOL

[bronze summit]

The PCIe is slightly bent

Like a tiny pin is bent and scratched

[azure topaz]

ehhh lemme see

[bronze summit]

You l

[junior valve]

lick it

[azure topaz]

that looks pretty bad yeesh

[bronze summit]

I'm on the MSI support site begging to have it shipped and repairsd

Like im willing to pay to repair it

[junior valve]

how much?

[bronze summit]

300$

[azure topaz]

it might work so long as you can socket it and the layers haven’t merged

[bronze summit]

Socket it?

[junior valve]

cant you do it yourself?

[bronze summit]

I'm stupid

[azure topaz]

https://youtube.com/@northwestrepair?si=AM_BZ_U8e-LG5hJY

contact him

[azure topaz]

install into pcie slot

[bronze summit]

Mmm I'll give that a try but my main focus

[azure topaz]

but i wouldn’t test that theory on any hardware i liked

[bronze summit]

Is rent and the replacement. Parts for the other

The mobo part enrages me

[junior valve]

did you drop the pc?

[azure topaz]

his mom beat it up

[junior valve]

why

[azure topaz]

hates him idk

it’s that damn phone

[bronze summit]

Had a fight with my mom, mom who had a bat went ahead while my step dad is holding me back and beat the shit out of my computer

Thankfully I recovered most of the items and she didn't destroy the Wooting

[junior valve]

@bronze summit just buy the 1000d, its 90lb empty, a single persom wont be able to lift it

[azure topaz]

basically mom was rage baiting because life has been too boring recently or something

[bronze summit]

The only thing that's angering me rn

Is basically the Mobo prices

It's gotten higher

[charred kiln]

ello

[azure topaz]

yeah just get something used. esp on am4 or something they’re cheap asl

even am5 boards are cheap used tbh

[bronze summit]

I got a 7600X

[charred kiln]

I got game pass and I am kind of angry at myself for giving microsoft money

[azure topaz]

i got a B650 Pro A? for 100$

[junior valve]

how did she beat it?

[bronze summit]

... With a bat

[junior valve]

just wondering

[azure topaz]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/146512095478?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=A15TBMYZT7-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=hgseuu0urue&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[charred kiln]

Jesus christ

[junior valve]

does it go inside the case or just the outer thing

[stable depot]

trying to update my bios for it supports my cpu when i extracted it all of this was in the folder? do i leave it all on the usb and then flash?

[bronze summit]

Outer thing from the looks of it

[charred kiln]

u okay?

[junior valve]

was it a itx case?

[bronze summit]

Me and my moms relationship is complicated now but I'm living in my auntie's garage

[bronze summit]

Deepcool CH360, mATX

[charred kiln]

sad

[azure topaz]

as good as any am5 board

[tidal geyser]

just going to post this here

[junior valve]

whats the other 3?, i can see corsair

[bronze summit]

I'll check it out

[latent gull]

Wild. Are they at least all the same speed?

[azure topaz]

personal experience, seems to work fine. does 6400 mem and supported my friends 7600 just fine

[bronze summit]

But mostly I need thermal paste, Mobo, case and CPU cooler

[azure topaz]

cooler is cheap and case you can find for a decent price i’m sure

[grizzled frost]

does it boot with XMP?

[charred kiln]

is 100 Mbps download good, I know almost nothing about networking apart from "goes fast" and "not goes fast"

[azure topaz]

definitely get a used board, it’s the only way you’re gonna end up with anything decent for cheap cheap

[grizzled frost]

for an isp connection, about bottom of the barrel; for single device connection speed, could be worse, but ain’t great

[azure topaz]

pretty decent for most people

but could also be way way way way faster

[azure topaz]

and is absolutely not enough for others

[grizzled frost]

most developed places have at least 500Mbps connections, with lots having 1Gbps+

[bronze summit]

Only turn off and this is a nit pick is no wifi antenna and the lack of mobo screwss

[azure topaz]

(for reference i get 2500mbps download)

[charred kiln]

yeah I think I am bottlenecked by my motherboard NIC or something like that but I might be speaking from my ass...

[grizzled frost]

2.5/3Gbps is becoming more and more common as well

[azure topaz]

screws come with case dingus

[bronze summit]

[limpid dune]

you can take the bitrate and divide by 8 to get the number of bytes, so 100Mbs is gonna be 12.5 megabytes per second, which is "meh". Downloads are gonna be a little slow but it's enough for basic stuff.

[azure topaz]

no antennas is solved by a 5$ trip to amazon or just find a board that’s cheap and comes with them

[bronze summit]

How about M2 screws?

[azure topaz]

probably with the board

i think that board has a built in heatsink

which means the screw for it probably doesn’t come out

[charred kiln]

I think so?

maybe?

[tidal geyser]

no clue but probs not

[grizzled frost]

holy hell, how old is that mobo

wait no, it’ll do 1Gbps

[tidal geyser]

or cat 5

[tidal geyser]

well yeah that is what GbE stands for

[grizzled frost]

link speed looks to have only negotiated at 100Mbps, so that’s a cabling issue

[grizzled frost]

yeah ik i’m blind

[charred kiln]

I think I am bottlenecked by a cable then, I am using a passthru that exists in my house for more than 10 years

[grizzled frost]

ethernet or coax

[azure topaz]

or router

[charred kiln]

ethernet

[bronze summit]

I'm sad at the lack of Deepcool tho

[grizzled frost]

Try a direct connection to the router and see if it does 1Gbps

or at least negotiates at 1Gbps

[charred kiln]

the router is 200 meters away

[grizzled frost]

wtf

[azure topaz]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/396537946033? @bronze summit here

[limpid dune]

look on the side of the wire and see if you can find the CAT rating - usually CAT 3, CAT 5, CAT 5e, and onward

[grizzled frost]

only way you’re getting Gigabit speeds at that distance is fiber

or several powered switches along the way

[rugged swift]

is 25mbps good (over wifi and multiple devices connected)

[limpid dune]

bro doesn't need a VPN, his ethernet cable is already in a different country 😭

[grizzled frost]

no

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/cillianmurphygun-cillianmurphy-jazmincoded-gif-3811002643797340103

desoldering no fun

[charred kiln]

its not actually that far I didn't really messure it lol, its like 50 meters away

on the other side of the friggin house

[grizzled frost]

bring PC to the router real quick and see what happens

dont need to permanently implement it for me to get the info i need

[limpid dune]

ahh okay, a CAT 5e cable will be able to sustain 2.5Gb/s

[charred kiln]

"real quick"

I'll try it on my laptop tomorrow

[grizzled frost]

i mean usually moving a pc and some kind of monitor ain’t all that hard

[rugged swift]

[charred kiln]

yeah but you are asking to move it to the router my guy...

[ebon marlin]

yum I have a chance to trade my quest 2 + 200€ for a steam deck oled that's relatively new with a bunch of accessories

[left dove]

get a fat roll of solder wick

[ebon marlin]

banger deal since quest 2's go for 150€ and steam deck oled's for the cheapest ones go for 450€

[steel umbra]

how much did you pay

3070 ti to 5060 ti sounds barely like an upgrade

[ebon marlin]

that's an awful deal

[steel umbra]

bad yeah

[grizzled frost]

anything over 1Gbps isn’t a guarantee, but usually not a horrible bet

[steel umbra]

3090

[limpid dune]

it's the same driver, no need to reinstall

[ebon marlin]

there's other much better options lol

[grizzled frost]

at 50m you’re gonna be pushing it

[ebon marlin]

they're literally on par with each other

[rugged swift]

7700 XT?

[grizzled frost]

wtf is that

[charred kiln]

o @grizzled frost the motherboard is a B550M DS3H

[plain cypress]

Where did you buy it from and how much

[limpid dune]

you got scammed bro 💀

[grizzled frost]

Risen 9900z4d

[steel umbra]

used though

[charred kiln]

used?

[azure topaz]

i wonder whaat chip this was before

[charred kiln]

bro got ripped off

[ebon marlin]

why would u buy an item that's multiple generations old brand new

[grizzled frost]

probably nothing, the pcb isn’t even squared properly

[plain cypress]

Great
Easy exchange

[charred kiln]

they are almost the same and that's why I didn't buy a 5060Ti

[limpid dune]

bro is expecting to buy a 3090 brand new? in 2025? 😭

[azure topaz]

oh u right

[ebon marlin]

for 600 you could've gotten so much better

[grizzled frost]

looks like a cheap knockoff PCB and IHS

[azure topaz]

wendell this was alwayws true

[limpid dune]

naaah, 5060 will be faster - remember that the 3000 series had really low core clocks

[rugged swift]

7700 XT

[ebon marlin]

the 9070 xt exists which is on par with the Rtx 5070 Ti

[azure topaz]

2.2ghz is not "really low"

[grizzled frost]

they’re at the very least doing some level of dedicated manufacturing for that fake chip

[plain cypress]

Also $600 USD is too much for 9900x3d

[azure topaz]

future gens just scale CRAZY

[grizzled frost]

aliexpress

[steel umbra]

3090, 3080 ti ( at least), 4070 super, 4070 ti, 6900 xt, 6950 xt, 7900 xt

[plain cypress]

Just get 9800x3d

[limpid dune]

it looks like the PCB that's used in the chinese domestic AM5 EPYC chips

[grizzled frost]

Might be repurposed excess material

[charred kiln]

I compared my benchmarks to the hardware unboxed benchmarks since I only have one of the two, they're pretty much the same

[rugged swift]

right then why bother?

[limpid dune]

look at computational benchmarks of the 4080 vs the 3090 - same core count but the 4080 hits 3GHz and demolishes the 3090

[charred kiln]

but why tho

[grizzled frost]

like PCBs that didn’t meet QC or something

[ebon marlin]

buying current gen tech products is incredibly stupid

[grizzled frost]

yep looks like a PCB that didn’t meet QC

[azure topaz]

i get what youre saying but 3000 series clocks relatively high compared to anything that came before itt

just 40 and 50 series clock higher

[loud furnace]

Is it bad that my new GPu was so thick that I needed to put my radiator fans on the outside of my case restricting airflow?

And no I can’t put the radiator on the top.

[grizzled frost]

not amazing, but could be worse

[azure topaz]

maybe im semanticing for no reason

but i feel like saying rtx 3000 was loww cclocked is a little misleading

[limpid dune]

it's probably a working PCB, just one of the AM5 EPYC chips that are manufactured in a different place

that IHS is fake tho

[charred kiln]

yeah.. just because its new doesn't mean its good

[grizzled frost]

Would be funny to put it on a keychain

[plain cypress]

Initiate a return asap

[ebon marlin]

damn Expedition 33 seems intensive asf can't even run on a 5060 Ti but for some reason can run on a 3060 and a Rx 7600 lol

[grizzled frost]

might buy a broken cpu just to turn it into a keychain actually

[limpid dune]

B580 smashes the A770? damn

[steel umbra]

this looks insanely wrong

[charred kiln]

yet another 5060Ti sucker...

[ebon marlin]

5060 Ti being outclassed by an A770

[steel umbra]

yeah immediately ask for a refund

[ebon marlin]

where did u even get it from

[plain cypress]

In almost every gaming situation yes
*(Not counting instances that 12gb vram is insufficient)

[charred kiln]

I am gonna try the ethernet over power thingi

[plain cypress]

A770 still beats B580 in some productivity tasks since it has a lot more EUs

[charred kiln]

brb

[steel umbra]

it has more European Unions??

[charred kiln]

you bought that for a server?

[limpid dune]

is this AM4

[rugged swift]

is the 7600X a good cpu for like a mid range first pc

[plain cypress]

sigh
It has more Execution Units

[azure topaz]

i think so

[charred kiln]

yes

[steel umbra]

pretty sure it’s European Unions

you cannot hide the truth from me

[limpid dune]

^ it's european unions

[azure topaz]

guys can we glaze ibm servers in tc1 please

[rugged swift]

[plain cypress]

It's actually Europa Universales IV

[charred kiln]

had to point out how much I love this name

[azure topaz]

i got denied

[limpid dune]

absolutely not, the POWER10 desktop costs $40K and it has eight cores on DDR4-2133

baliff: obliterate him

ryzen 1700X ahh specs

[azure topaz]

does that same 8 cores also have 128 threads behind it?

(yes)

can you scale that up to 32x?

yes

[plain cypress]

I'd rather have 128 e cores with only 8 threads total 😤

[azure topaz]

tuuuuuhruuueeeeee

[plain cypress]

You could call it
Idk
Royal core

[azure topaz]

'big coremont'

[limpid dune]

no, sadly, the desktops are single socket 😭

[plain cypress]

And the units could be rentable

[azure topaz]

well the desktops are cringe the mainframes are cool

[grizzled frost]

128 e cores, but only 8 work at a given time, they gotta take turns

[plain cypress]

Idk, a company would have to be insane to come up with something like that

[limpid dune]

also IBM has DRM in their CPUs which means you're not allowed to run linux on most of them

[ebon marlin]

China's GPMI tech seems really interesting I wonder if it'll go mainstream and eventually a standard

[limpid dune]

USB-C with extra steps

[plain cypress]

Certainly not soon

[azure topaz]

tell me the last time you ended up with a recent ibm system you wanted to run linux on

[grizzled frost]

if the claims are to be believed, i’d love for it to be mainstream

[charred kiln]

now its shitter

[grizzled frost]

USB-C display connectors that can reach that bandwidth are obscenely expensive

[grizzled frost]

wtf

[charred kiln]

thats thru the wall power adapter thingi

[grizzled frost]

idk how that even happens

[charred kiln]

so expected

[limpid dune]

it carries the same amount of power and the same signals as USB-C over a USB-C connector. also if you're running an 8K monitor you can afford a full DP

[grizzled frost]

Oh fair

[gloomy sleet]

what about you know hdmi

[grizzled frost]

ain’t the same bitrate

[limpid dune]

HDMI is kill

[gloomy sleet]

DP?

[azure topaz]

i assure you, hdmi is not kill

[charred kiln]

Iroh its either my shit router or my shit extention cables

[grizzled frost]

no idea

only way to check would be to use different “known good” cables

[charred kiln]

my interent plan is pretty good

[grizzled frost]

given the fact it’s pegged at 100mbps means it’s not the internet plan that is the issue

[bronze summit]

Alright dumb question

[limpid dune]

have you read the side of the cables to see what CAT it is?

[charred kiln]

I believe there is no rating

[grizzled frost]

something(s) between you and the router is preventing it from negotiating at higher speeds

[limpid dune]

I went through exactly this process years ago and found out I was on CAT 3

[bronze summit]

How do 9000 series AMD cards go when you play like let's just say an old ass game

[charred kiln]

again it might be the router itself

[azure topaz]

can we try setting it to 1gbps in windows before going on a goose chase

[bronze summit]

Like Rainbow Six Vegas

[limpid dune]

they do great. wait what is rainbow six vegas

DX9, it sounds like? yep, it'll work great

[charred kiln]

excuse me, I am the biggest dumbass ever, but how

[charred kiln]

I checked the cables, its CAT 5E

[steel umbra]

https://youtu.be/oJzy1vk2zyc? for bri’ish people

[charred kiln]

that did... absolutely nothing

I actually hate these kinda question but I will ask it, is CAT 5E tolerable

[latent gull]

Tolerable… ?

[charred kiln]

yes

[azure topaz]

should be yeah totally

[left dove]

cat5e user here, 2.5g is no issue

[azure topaz]

same^

[charred kiln]

router it is

[azure topaz]

on cat5e

[charred kiln]

😭

[left dove]

:3

[limpid dune]

wait wtf lemme test my fouter

[latent gull]

I thought 5e only went up to a gig

[left dove]

lol no

5e can do 5gig

[azure topaz]

you can do 10g on cat5e in short length

most house distances will do 10gbps over 5e

[charred kiln]

ahh. thats it then\

[left dove]

yeah the max run I'd have is 50'

[glacial tulip]

Is 5k on steel nomad 3dmark good for a 3080ti

[limpid dune]

you can do 10 gig on CAT 3 if it's less than 7 mm

[latent gull]

Oh yeah I forgot about attenuation. I just always remembered 5e can do gig at 100 yards

[left dove]

so, its perf

[charred kiln]

my house is stinkin huge

[azure topaz]

5e can do gigabit over a very large length yo

[limpid dune]

there's a little graph on the results screen that should tell you

[charred kiln]

I don't understand freedom units

[left dove]

100 yards is abnout 100m

[tidal geyser]

xd

[left dove]

i said about, you dingleberry

[tidal geyser]

sad units

[empty quartz]

Its 91 meters

[left dove]

fucking close enough

[empty quartz]

Nuh uh

[tidal geyser]

cat5e can do 1 gig for 105m was it not

cat 6 can do 10gig for 55m

[left dove]

can 6a do 25g?

[charred kiln]

well, I can confidently say these cables run WAY longer than a 100 yards\

[glacial tulip]

I’m buying it off this guy and the video quality is dogshit all i got was this

[tidal geyser]

and then cat 6a did 10 gig for 105m again i think it was

[tidal geyser]

there is nothing 25gb rj45

[left dove]

sad

[tidal geyser]

no

[azure topaz]

use sfp bruh

[tidal geyser]

DAC

[left dove]

dude i dont wanna invest in fiber modules

yeah dac would be easier

[azure topaz]

they are cheaper than you think

[tidal geyser]

get qsfp28

[latent gull]

Yards is basically meters

[left dove]

thats the plan for my server to connect to this dinky lil switch ima get

2 10g, 4 2.5g

[tidal geyser]

UCG-fiber is dat but one more 10g

2 sfp+ 10 gig and 1 rj45 10 gig with 4 2.5g ports

and one of em is PoE+

[ripe sable]

Which one should I get?

[tidal geyser]

latest

[charred kiln]

well I guess I am on 2010 internet again

[tidal geyser]

this one

[charred kiln]

unfortunate

[ripe sable]

Ty

[limpid dune]

this graph means that it's above average (it's to the right of the bell curve)

my router has a secret unused SFP port on it, I badly wanna hijack it

[jovial swan]

Hello, so my router shut down, so i went out of a game, after just sitting while waiting for router to go back online it went into Chrome out of the blue to a not safe website called mtcsconnect or something, is that something i gotta be weary about? I shut Chrome as soon as it appeared

[steel umbra]

Yh aslong it's not way below average (like <5%) should be fine

[charred kiln]

I hate my life

sitting here waiting for cities skylines 2 to install

this is gonna fry my 5600 omg

[swift moss]

Fiber optic through the walls is crazy

[jovial swan]

Im reading up on it now, have i been hacked???

[glacial tulip]

Bc it’s positively skewed?

[charred kiln]

I have cat 5e thru the walls and apparently it absolutely sucks

[glacial tulip]

Oh the green line

I see

[limpid dune]

highly doubt it, if you were hacked they wouldn't open a chrome tab to tell you about it. also it's almost impossible to get hacked these days by just opening a website

[swift moss]

5e is relatively rated slowly yeah

[limpid dune]

do run a defender scan though

[swift moss]

It's fine for anything under a gigabit

[tidal geyser]

na

[glacial tulip]

It costs 565usd for the used 3080ti good deal?

[azure topaz]

no

[charred kiln]

to add insult to injury my house is not the average apartment

[swift moss]

5e is fine, it's 1000mbps

[magic basalt]

any software that can control led's on my pc, at once instead of me having to download different apps for each one?

[charred kiln]

over like 500 meters?

[azure topaz]

more than that unofficially

[swift moss]

4080ti 600usd

[azure topaz]

300

[limpid dune]

naah bro, cat 5E is good, you just have a weird router or something

[azure topaz]

yes

[limpid dune]

I just finished wiring my house yesteday with cat 6 and that's INSANE

[charred kiln]

well its thru the fucking walls... and again this house is big

[limpid dune]

cat 7 and cat 8 are just... no, please... no man should have that much power

[charred kiln]

prolly

[azure topaz]

its probably not the wiring

[limpid dune]

through the walls is good

[tidal geyser]

ngl they kinda fake

[swift moss]

Cat 8 AliExpress cable lol

[jovial swan]

Thing is i didnt open a site. It opened by itself, i was quick to close it tho, my router had just shutdown.

[azure topaz]

it was probably your router turning back on

my router did that on the firs ttime setup

wouldnt surprise me if yours did it every time it turned on

[charred kiln]

more likely thru the floor but ok...

[azure topaz]

you can literally find out rn

[limpid dune]

cat 8 is real and IEC certified

[jovial swan]

I will, but if pc does it again, im shutting it down untill i can figure out what to do

[swift moss]

THIS

People assume hacking leaves clear traces ongong

[azure topaz]

just restart ur router again and see

[swift moss]

Like people do this full time 😭😭

[limpid dune]

cat 8 goes up to 40Gb/s for 36 meters

[tidal geyser]

show me 40gig networking stuff that is not sfp or qsfp

[jovial swan]

How do i do a defender scan

[tidal geyser]

why

[jovial swan]

Thats why

[charred kiln]

I need this in my life

[tidal geyser]

i dono skill issue

[limpid dune]

type defender in the search bar and do full scan

[jovial swan]

Couldnt find it that why, but i got it now

[charred kiln]

kill me

its on for like 2 hours

what the fuck

[jovial swan]

Defender scan showed nothing, but this popped up again

[limpid dune]

behold; le "SFP to dual RJ45" doohickeys

[limpid dune]

that stands for "microsoft connection test", it's a safe website

[azure topaz]

"microsoft connection test 😭 "

[tidal geyser]

only rj45 10gig

[limpid dune]

read the blue port's label

[tidal geyser]

wait wtf

[jovial swan]

Oh. It keeps spamming itself into my pc

[tidal geyser]

already did

[limpid dune]

inshallah the bytes must flow 💪 🗣️

[jovial swan]

It opened 345 tabs in 3 seconds.

[jovial swan]

Of the same website

[limpid dune]

we call this the RAM destroyer

[jovial swan]

Thank F i have 32 gb ram

[tidal geyser]

uhh apparently it's a problem with your ISP not gonfiguring you proberly

[jovial swan]

Ah fair. Jeg blev bare virkelig bange ngl

[limpid dune]

gonfiguring

[charred kiln]

tbh I am running low on the dedotated stuff

[tidal geyser]

pleas read

[azure topaz]

click advanced and then continue to the website

[limpid dune]

my homelab is out here on 4GB 💪

[tidal geyser]

it said what the issue was

[jovial swan]

Ok

[gleaming rose]

my homelab has 64gb rn

[charred kiln]

I have 16 and my PC is crying for more

[limpid dune]

I don't have much dedotated DDR4 lying around, I gave it all to a friend

[tidal geyser]

mine with 40

[jovial swan]

What does it do

[azure topaz]

my entire homelab has 48

split between 2 systems

32+16

[limpid dune]

that machine's CAS latency is bigger than my IQ

[azure topaz]

probably not

[tardy jay]

Which direction should the cpu cooler cord face?

[azure topaz]

its jusst jedec

[charred kiln]

I had a 32 GB kit but one died... not very dedotated

[tardy jay]

Down or up?

[limpid dune]

DRAM (destroyed random access memory)

[charred kiln]

yeah its just sitting here collecting dust

[limpid dune]

I usually just connect it to the headers and then point the fan so that the least cable is flopping around

my current rig has some floppy problems thouhg

[charred kiln]

mismatched ram incarnate

I just stabbed my hand with my tweezers

[swift moss]

I think I'm on 16 rn, I used to be on 64gb ddr3

[bronze summit]

Fish and chips

[charred kiln]

wait a min I might've just made the deal of my life with gamepass

it has all the games I wanted to try on steam

[tidal geyser]

not enough cores

but is that a 13900k or a server cpu

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[tidal geyser]

no

[empty quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/jerma-gif-14663292704966997212

[swift moss]

13900k works with DDR3? 😭😭😭🙏

[tardy jay]

Is it fine if the cpu cooler plug bends?

[upper abyss]

can i daisychain the power from fans? i got like 7 headers for 10 fans

[tidal geyser]

yeah why not

[charred kiln]

diabolical emote

[swift moss]

Find me the fabled MOBO please

[tidal geyser]

no

so dat is a xeon of some kind

[tardy jay]

Will that affect its life span?

[tidal geyser]

i was joking

[swift moss]

Lol, but yeah as with me, it's a xeon

I think it's a dual e5 2680 V3?

Idk

[charred kiln]

lol if I have game pass I think I will need a windows handheld instead of the steam deck

[charred kiln]

can also be a threadripper

[upper abyss]

[tidal geyser]

how

[charred kiln]

there are 24 core threadrippers..

[tidal geyser]

amd will never and have nether made a zen cpu with ddr3

[charred kiln]

o ofc not

I was talking about the 24 core part

[tidal geyser]

well we will be getting it on the desktop next gen

[charred kiln]

aight cya guys as you can probably tell I am getting tired, good night

[halcyon plover]

In what chat can i ask for headphones ??

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine a r5 7600 is faster

[tidal geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/382801814547988481

[swift moss]

Maybe, it was a 2995wx

[tidal geyser]

then no

[swift moss]

Single core I would assume the clock is higher tho

I sold it for a downgrade though when it was old

[halcyon plover]

Ty

[swift moss]

End of 2023 was quite a while ago

[swift moss]

This isn't the current system though

[harsh whale]

Is a 5070 Ti/9070 XT a good pair with a 7600?

[steel umbra]

it explodes

[tulip sparrow]

$600 for a AMD 8640HS

[candid bolt]

Just got me a free ryzen 7 5700G

[tulip sparrow]

Nice

[candid bolt]

Btw

Can someone help me rq?

[south arrow]

When windows just frowny faces xD

Mmm yes

[steel umbra]

: )

[tulip sparrow]

https://a.co/d/7UxWfza ok this is better for me honestly

$600 for a Linux laptop

[jaunty apex]

Does this apply similarly to laptops?

Last 20% battery ≈ .79 cycles?

[random gyro]

what are these benchmarks dawg

[jaunty apex]

Me when I have a $400 budget for a phone gets flagship

[jaunty apex]

TechQuickie tho. They never really provided detailed graphs have they? But agreed, this means almost nothing to me

[random gyro]

I love how companies show all these comparisons but the first phone I’ve owned in history to last over 12 hours on a charge is the 16 pro max

[tired bear]

it applies to almost all lithium ion batteries

[grizzled frost]

something i did fixed it, not entirely sure what

[jaunty apex]

Pixel 9s been pretty good. I get anxious about not charging it all the way but I can do most of a day on 60%

:O when did android get limit to 80%?

That's sick actually

[left dove]

i think like 2 updoots ago

itll even do like a once weekly top-off to keep reporting accuracy correct

[tidal geyser]

why not just turn on battery protection

[tidal geyser]

at least like 5 years

[jaunty apex]

What's that lmao

[left dove]

yeah bullshit

[tidal geyser]

protect battery

[strange atlas]

does led fan is same as argb fan? or its fixed light

[tidal geyser]

both are led

[jaunty apex]

I ran android 13 since 2022, didn't really know it was a thing that whole time though not sure I'd have used it anyway. Pixel 4 battery mediocre

[jaunty apex]

I don't know this UI

[tidal geyser]

top one is what iphone does

[tidal geyser]

smamsmug

[strange atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-soda-sleezeymir-gif-23333267

i guess i gotta pass on it cant take a gamble on it

[jaunty apex]

Yea I avoid smasnug

Not my ecosystem and too restrictive for me

[tidal geyser]

root

[strange atlas]

Why does getting a cpu cooler with argb fans are cheaper then getting argb fans normally 😦

[tidal geyser]

i have not

[random gyro]

7am -> 5:40 PM still at 55%

we love good battery

[tidal geyser]

well i did not use it at all

[tired bear]

bc you cant beat bulk no name fan pricing

[strange atlas]

was takling about thermalright

[jaunty apex]

Funny I mention restrictiveness when I haven't even logged into Google on this thing tbh lol. I don't think anything even incentivizes me to use smasnug over literally anything else, esp pixels now. Not 100% sure I'd sooner get an iPhone but..

[ripe spire]

Sim go to sleep

[gleaming rose]

why do i keep getting b&h ads i pretty much exclusively buy my photography stuff from them already

[jaunty apex]

Because they wanna sell more

Or sounds like the advertising ID is working

[eternal reef]

Guys, for a complete idiot when it comes to pc's that I can't be bothered to waste my time with, should I tell them that the amount of vram they have should roughly match the number of cpu cores (they somehow know the terminology)

[jaunty apex]

Why that correlation

[oblique jay]

Is there an easy way to get rid of this? I'm on an s23 ultra, I withdrew from the bets program cos I wanted to wait for the official one ui 7 release but this is just stuck here and can't cancel it

[clear canyon]

nope

[oblique jay]

Ok is there any way to get rid of it? And when official one ui 7 comes to s23u will it override that beta one

[tired bear]

factory reset could be an option

[south arrow]

Hard shutdown should cancel it it I'd imagine

[gleaming rose]

it was advertised to me initially by my grandfather and i already only purchase camera gear from them exclusively

[south arrow]

If it's truly stuck either vol up or down + power for 10-30 sec

Reboot it should have stopped

[jaunty apex]

He bought your data

[gleaming rose]

also i gotta support my fellow jewish homies 🔥

[south arrow]

And then disable wifi/data and disable the update feature, should be set

[heavy rune]

I recently got an Intel Core i9 14900K should I be worried if one or two cores go into red for only a second, maybe less when playing games?

[south arrow]

82c is fine looks good

Plus that cores trying it's hardest at 57 so great all around I'd say

[tidal geyser]

Funny you said that

[ripe spire]

Why

[tidal geyser]

Just about to

SteamDeck seems so fucking cool but I can't afford one

[oblique jay]

Didn't do anything

[south arrow]

Can you turn off wifi and data and disable the update?

[oblique jay]

I was on beta one ui 7 but wanted to downgrade and apparently had to do it via smart switch on pc. So I followed all the steps and it fsctory reset my phone, set it all back up and logged back into everything then the download was here

[oblique jay]

No disable button afaik

[south arrow]

[oblique jay]

Yeah it's super annoying

[boreal vine]

I think keyboard is pay to win

so good

[oblique jay]

Tryna convince my gf that we need an oled tv 🤣

Although haven't got a clue whoch olrd tvs are good but aren't insanely expensive, wouldn't really wanna push past £600, saw a 4k oled 48" for 599.99 but not sure what else to look for in a tv, upscaling is one thing

[boreal vine]

4k oled at 600

https://tenor.com/view/fell-gif-11242683397767497522

[rapid quarry]

That does not look like the 57 Precepts of Zote. 0/10

[oblique jay]

Yeah didn't sound right that's why I'm curious what other aspects go into it

Cos my 1440p oled monitor cost me 450

[dawn tundra]

Can I even attach this to my motherboard of my actual computer

[candid bolt]

Hey

In a 5700G

What does the g mean?

[boreal vine]

no, that looks like it goes to a custom connector

[dawn tundra]

Graphics

[boreal vine]

if it's on ryzen it means that it's a CPU with integrated Graphics

[dawn tundra]

From one of those old computers I got

[candid bolt]

Oh shii

I got It for free lol

[boreal vine]

eyy that's not bad, those usually go for decent in used market, basically the best AM4 you can get with integrated graphics

[candid bolt]

Oh shiii

I'm gonna try to flip a pc with it

[dawn tundra]

It seems pretty typical it doesn't seem very custom at all

[candid bolt]

I know a dude who can get me free tech

[dawn tundra]

Hell yeah man

[candid bolt]

Ye:)

[boreal vine]

why not?

people who build itx goes for these if they don't want a GPU

[dawn tundra]

I don't care how old or new I love tech in general

[candid bolt]

Got a rog strix 570-e free also, not sure it works tho

[dawn tundra]

It was a very common clip on that computer and it was on the other computer as well it was the same flip type

[candid bolt]

All for free

[dawn tundra]

Bro has a better cooler than I do

[candid bolt]

Altho those mobos in the bucket is old asf and shitty cpus

[dawn tundra]

Dude I will absolutely take that shit I don't care if it's broken

[candid bolt]

I also got a free 3060, altho it was dead 💔💔

[candid bolt]

Take what?

[dawn tundra]

Any tech you got as long as it's not like snapped in half that is like completely waste

[candid bolt]

Witch country u live in?

[dawn tundra]

Us

[candid bolt]

Danm

[dawn tundra]

Non us?

[candid bolt]

Shipping gon be expensive then

Yeps, eu

[dawn tundra]

Damn

[boreal vine]

decent score! how come you got themf or free?

[dawn tundra]

Can you show me a picture of the PCb of the 3060?

[dawn tundra]

Yeah I need to see the PCB can you take the heat shroud off

[candid bolt]

I know a guy who collects pc people throw out, he gives me the parts I test them

And we flip the pc

[candid bolt]

Pcb?

[dawn tundra]

One of my dad's friends that died recently his mom and stepdad run a company called e d e solutions they recycle computers and also set up laptops for the schools and stuff so I can keep any parts I need or want because it saves the money

[candid bolt]

Dayyym

[dawn tundra]

The fans and stuff all that copper stuff that's the heat shroud the PCB is the board that all the things are on

[candid bolt]

Sure 1 sec

Can u call?

[dawn tundra]

Rinky dink ahh cooler

[dawn tundra]

Shure

[frail topaz]

Tomorrow is gonna be a big day, goodnight.

[steel umbra]

nice

you can sell these for decent amount of money

[stable depot]

Yea or nah

[dawn tundra]

What about this one

[boreal vine]

what am I looking at exactly 🙂

[dry junco]

^

[low sage]

hey ur name is awfully familiar

[south arrow]

Could try it on if temps are high could come back and try it off

[high elm]

déjà vu

[candid bolt]

What's a good gpu benchmark?

[south arrow]

3d mark timespy

[candid bolt]

Free?

[south arrow]

The demo to use timespy is yiss on steam

And then when it goes on sale for like $10 its a nice to have

[candid bolt]

Aight

[south arrow]

Just scroll down alittle on its page should show

[candid bolt]

Btw, I had a 3060 that showed no display

Now it does, how????

[south arrow]

Probs updated or idk

these are the questions

[candid bolt]

I fr though it was dead😭

[south arrow]

Glad its still troopin

[candid bolt]

Ye

And I have a 5700G laying arounf

Uhhh

Help

[south arrow]

If i think of anything ill swing back in

[plain cypress]

It's so worth it if you build your own PCs

However I wouldn't advise anyone pay full price. Wait for steam sales

[candid bolt]

Uhhh

Yall remember I got a 3060 free right?

Well turns out it's not a 3060☹️☹️☹️

ITS A 3060 TI🤑

[teal sinew]

awesomesauce

[candid bolt]

And according to 3d mark it's not damage

[steel umbra]

noise

[nova barn]

How should I fix this

[thorny saddle]

with glue

[solar spire]

Newbie question: what's the name of those little cover pieces on the back of a PC case, next to the pcie slot?

Edit: pci slot covers

[nova barn]

??? Or should i upgrade

[nova barn]

It not a well reviewed pair

[thorny saddle]

then get something better maybe

[steel umbra]

at that point i think i would just buy new headphones

[thorny saddle]

or just buy new ears

[solar spire]

I knew what a pcie slot was and not that the cover was in fact, just called a pci slot cover

[nova barn]

My dad say it not my right unless I hage a fancy jog or lol let me get that thar cost 200 but not spending 100 more on a new tv

[steel umbra]

yes

my tinnitus is annoying af

[winter lantern]

Which one

[nova barn]

What a good pair to get

[tired bear]

2nd one is most likely a scam

or defective card

[steel umbra]

do you need a mic, wireless?

[candid bolt]

Uhhh my gpu is just insanely bottled necked rn💀💀

[winter lantern]

It's not
Unless they take out the chip or something

[high elm]

naw its prolly cuz of the whack ass paint job

[winter lantern]

Ps5 looking ahh

[high elm]

the guy prolly just took a spray paint can to it

[candid bolt]

3060 ti x i7 6800k😍

[steel umbra]

headphones are ideally without mic and wired as those features usually cut into the headphone’s sound and build quality at sub $200

[high elm]

2nd one + am5 based system

[winter lantern]

I mean yeah, what else do you do

[high elm]

nice score on the 3060ti

[winter lantern]

4080 super better tho 🥺

[high elm]

realistically thats the best option lol

[high elm]

$600 for a 90ti is hard to beat

albeit the temps are likely horrible if the guy spray painted over the heatsink

[candid bolt]

Okay score for a used card

?

[high elm]

looks a little on the lower side but thats likely due to the cpu

[candid bolt]

I have a 5700g I prolly could test it with

Not rn tho

[winter lantern]

I don't think anyone is dumb enough to spray paint without taking the shell off

[nova barn]

Not wireless don't know want better audo quality

[winter lantern]

I use my laptops mic 🔥

[high elm]

yeah the 5700g with the 3060ti makes a great gaming pc

[nova barn]

I am thinking about a hd 5600s

[high elm]

youd be surprised

[steel umbra]

#audio-tech
i can recommend like hd 560s old version at ~$100, at higher ranges beyerdynamic is alright but you may find gems in your region, he400se at $60, at lower - from gb server heard ugreen hitune max5c are good, jbl tune 710/720bt or some of the jbl tune series

[winter lantern]

It would probably be the same price anyways

After building

It's around 900 for everything else

[candid bolt]

How much better is the 9070xt then the 3060 ti?

It's only a 2 fan tho

[steel umbra]

@nova barn avoid brands like corsair, logitech, razer, hyperx

[high elm]

like 3x the performance

[nova barn]

Whar do you mean 100$ i see 230$

[nova barn]

That what I have hyper x

[steel umbra]

oh i meant used sorry

the old version of hd560s is not very available

new

the newer version is not that comfy and the cable is short

(downgraded)

fiio ft1 and akg k361/371 at higher ranges but i assume you don’t want to spend $150-200

from your previous reply

[steel umbra]

ye just avoid them, they offrer poor value generally speaking

[nova barn]

I am sure my dad want mw to get

[random snow]

guys whats the best gpu for around 500 atm, either new or second hand

[plain cypress]

Is this American buckaroos

[plain cypress]

Significantly higher performance

[candid bolt]

Aight

Cuz I'm saving up for a new pc

[nova barn]

Wbar do you mean

[plain cypress]

This is one of the most generic ass looking shrouds I've seen

[plain cypress]

USD or CAD

[candid bolt]

Sould I also save up for the 9070xt or save LOADS of money? Like I could buy a 7800x3d

[plain cypress]

What's your current specs

[candid bolt]

Ik -.-

[plain cypress]

Absolutely devoid of personality lmao

[candid bolt]

Well 3060 ti (980 ti before) i7 6800k 4 sticks ram totalt 32 gig and fr a slow ass ssd

And sole x99 mobo

And the weirdest case ever

[nova barn]

Usd

[plain cypress]

So currently 3060ti

What's your monitor specs @candid bolt

[candid bolt]

Yes

[silk halo]

What is the best 2tb ssd im in the US

[candid bolt]

1440 p 180 htz

[plain cypress]

Samsung 9100 pro or whatever it is

[candid bolt]

And a 1080 60 hertz monitor

[plain cypress]

I'd say both CPU and GPU are worthy of an upgrade

[south arrow]

9100pro or the crucial T700/T705

[plain cypress]

The problem is you need a new platform

[nova barn]

What about people who say theu are not very good

[steel umbra]

they’re mid range headphones

[candid bolt]

Could I maybe like the the pc, but not a gpu and then save up for the gpu upgrade

So I'll upgrade the gpu later

[steel umbra]

uhh no

[silk halo]

my budget is $150 what could i get

[south arrow]

How many tb you need?

[silk halo]

2tb

[south arrow]

Brb

[candid bolt]

Cuz it's gonna take me a long time to get my full pc, but if I just saved 6000kr on a gpu, that's 4 monts less I have to save

[nova barn]

I bet they recommend a 600 pair or nothing

[plain cypress]

I was just going to suggest this

You're more in need of a CPU upgrade and CPU is easier to get right now

[steel umbra]

600 which currency?

[nova barn]

Lol dad see it as life

[plain cypress]

But I probably wouldn't spend too much on cpu

[nova barn]

Usd

[candid bolt]

I could also sell the 3060 ti

[plain cypress]

When you upgrade the GPU yes

[steel umbra]

oh go to #audio-tech i don’t know a pair at $600

[plain cypress]

I wouldn't sell the GPU to fund the CPU upgrade kek

[candid bolt]

Betttt

[nova barn]

How should iger them ebay

[south arrow]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6615945.p?skuId=6615945&sb_share_source=PDP

Solid 2tb sticks

[nova barn]

@steel umbra

[south arrow]

Or https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6523595.p?skuId=6523595&sb_share_source=PDP

[nova barn]

This or

[steel umbra]

that’s tad too much

[plain cypress]

Yeah I'd do a platform upgrade soon and aim for a GPU upgrade in about 9-12 months

[silk halo]

which one is better for running local llms

[nova barn]

It that or ebay

[steel umbra]

ebay then iudm

[south arrow]

Both are probs so close side by side in practice myte not be noticeable

[nova barn]

Is it trustworthy or just pay 69$ more or just get a cheap pair from Walmart

[silk halo]

ill get the cheaper one. Thanks for the help

[candid bolt]

That's where ill abt get it

[steel umbra]

ebay has excellent buyer protection

[candid bolt]

What cpu pairs good with a 3060 ti? But also future proffed for the 9070 xt

[steel umbra]

i recommend ideally recording unboxing the thing you bought when you’re skeptical about the seller or retailer

[nova barn]

I read redit post of it fail

[steel umbra]

uhh, it just gives you more proof to work with, yes it doesn’t guarantee to work in case you get scammed, but the chance is low.

make sure those headphones are listed as working and not “parts” or such

[stable depot]

Hey can you anyone help me?? My pc isn’t showing display but it did when I was using it and I restarted it and now there’s a red VGA light on my mobo and I plugged it into my Mobo to see if I got display and I did

And now there’s a red light at boot

[sharp ivy]

I just bought a lenovo

It looks interesting

M Series

Thinkcentre

With 8gbs of RAM (4x2GB) and an i5-3550

[peak knot]

begone

lol

[sharp ivy]

Why

[peak knot]

there was a scam posted here as soon as i said it they got banned

[sharp ivy]

Oh

lol I thought you were just insulting the lenovoe

[steel umbra]

that was fast i didn’t even sii it

[sharp ivy]

Yep

[gleaming rose]

just started an anime with the funniest concept ever

demonlord2099, demon lord wakes up after being in a coma for 500 years and gets a job as a vtuber

[sinful cobalt]

sounds like the ideas you get at 4am

[raw blaze]

lol wtf

[sinful cobalt]

im rn reading a manhwa with harem

but icl it is good and not typical trash

[steel umbra]

the definition of anime braintrot

[dawn tundra]

I want to make a really compact PC mini ITX

What motherboard should I go for

It's going to be a present for someone

[sinful cobalt]

any b650i or b850i

AM4 options are up but their ITX mobo options are also high priced

[dawn tundra]

Yeah I'm hoping to get something

Gen 5

[steel umbra]

how many liters or size

[dawn tundra]

To be honest I'm kind of wanting to get it as small as possible but have as much power as my PC

[sinful cobalt]

b650i mobo, R5 7500F/7600, low profile 32gb ram (16x2) and some low profile cooler is the meta

[dawn tundra]

I saw $100 case that was like 3 l

[sinful cobalt]

hell na

3L is small as shit

[dawn tundra]

I think it was called the velka 3

[sinful cobalt]

even the smallest possible 4060 builds are like 5L

[dawn tundra]

Actually I have a video saved somewhere

[sinful cobalt]

and thats using a single fan

[dawn tundra]

Let me pull it up

[dawn tundra]

https://youtu.be/7pv2DUT90zc?si=i8ROCKcbNcKheStE

[steel umbra]

in three liters you will barely fit anything

are you sure

[sinful cobalt]

whats ur pc specs

[dawn tundra]

Yeah

[sinful cobalt]

yep im correct

[steel umbra]

alright i have no experience with such small form factors sorry

[dawn tundra]

My current PC specs are a 4060 16 GB I have Intel but I would prefer AMD

And also what the heck is mini DTX?

[sinful cobalt]

u can do like the video but theres better and more cost efficient cases than 3L

[dawn tundra]

Yeah I know

In terms of total performance between the b650i in the b 850i what is the total difference

[sinful cobalt]

i have like a 20L behemoth by ITX standards

[dawn tundra]

Yeah I want something a lot smaller

[sinful cobalt]

0 its just diff features depending

[dawn tundra]

For what I'm planning

[sinful cobalt]

do sub 10L dont go crazy with 3L

[dawn tundra]

I'm going to go with gigabyte even though it doesn't really change that much between the brands cuz they're all the pretty similar mostly price but there are a few features here and there

[sinful cobalt]

u can use the gigabyte LP as intake fans, theres some cases that indeed do that

ive seen one with the asus proart 4070 super be integrated into the case as intake fans

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b650i-lightning-wifi-mini-itx-amd-b650-am5-motherboard/p/N82E16813162151 what about this one though

[sinful cobalt]

it depends on ur preference for features and ur budget

[dawn tundra]

Wonder if there's a case where I can fit a radiator in

a really small one

[wispy thunder]

how small

A4H20 is 11L

[dawn tundra]

Actually hold up

what do I look for to find low profile ram

Just "low profile"

[wispy thunder]

uh

just get T-Create Classic or Expert

[dawn tundra]

Also what does Intel expo certified or whatever mean is it just a type of capability or something

I know it's new whatever it is

[steel umbra]

it just means the ram kit loads spd to the motherboard which you can enable
there is intel xmp
amd expo / amp

[dawn tundra]

Does that I mean you can adjust the speed and or oc?

Also never heard of this brand before but it's cheaper for a better connector https://pcpartpicker.com/product/99RwrH/klevv-cras-c910-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-k01tbm2sp0-c91

[steel umbra]

yes, unless you have some intel hx10 series motherboard

[steel umbra]

c910 is alrighty

[dawn tundra]

I mean a dollar saved is a dollar saved but is it worth it? Versus spending a dollar more to get teamgroup?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3hGNZc

I'm not sure what graphics card to pick cuz right now everything's really confusing

I mean sure I could go for a 4060 but then again I'm thinking I'm going to try to find something that is used because the market is crazy right now

[steel umbra]

you will not probably perceive a difference but if it’s worth it to you

[dawn tundra]

Yeah I think I'm going to go with tg

I want something on the amd side of graphics cards what should I get for a little bit more budgety

I still want to be able to play pretty high-end games

I know it's asking a lot for something so little

[fringe prairie]

the 9600x is cheaper atm if you wanna pick that up

[dawn tundra]

Alr

[fringe prairie]

if you buy it off newegg for $208 you get an ssd for free (and mh wilds) which is nice

[steel umbra]

o

that’s finally competitive

[dawn tundra]

Hmm sounds like a good deal

Do I get the shoes the SSD though?

Well I guess you really doesn't matter

[steel umbra]

what’s the capacity of the ssd and model

[dawn tundra]

Oh that's the CPU

I'm stupid

Yeah that's really competitive the one I was going to get was $198 I mean and getting an SSD and a game that's pretty good

[dawn tundra]

Can you send me a link by chance

Nvm

https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-9600x-ryzen-5-9000-series-granite-ridge-socket-am5-processor/p/N82E16819113844 i spinny my brain

512gb p400 lite

[dawn tundra]

I mean that's pretty good

All right so I need a GPU that is at maximum of 300 mm in length I prefer something with at least more than 6 GB of vram and preferably some kind of fan I'm going to look for it but I am definitely open to suggestions I'm probably going to put that single fan 4060 in it but I could probably find something better

[latent pasture]

isnt 300mm pretty big

[dawn tundra]

I'm pretty sure that's what the case said it can take

[latent pasture]

yeah u can get 2fan rtx 4070supers/5070

[dawn tundra]

Also I have a question 4060 ≤ 3090?

[latent pasture]

obviously

[dawn tundra]

I'm sorry I didn't know that

[steel umbra]

in some specific scenarios the 4060 is better

[latent pasture]

actually there are 3fan gpus that just abt squeak in 300mm

[dawn tundra]

I want to be able to let's say just an extreme run cyberpunk at at least high graphics

And have a stable 60 FPS

[steel umbra]

but the 3090 just kicks the 4060 outa house when it comes to most things

into the abyss

[dawn tundra]

Is the price over it worth it

Now what about the 3080 I hear it's a really good mid-tier graphics card

That's not going to (hopefully) drain your bank account

[latent pasture]

rtx 3050 can run cyberpunk on 1080p high at 40-60fps depending on situation
almost anything is a lot better than that and should be smooth

if ur gonna get a 4060 just get whatevers the cheapest since even the 3fan versions are small enough to fit in that case anyway

[dawn tundra]

I mean yeah but I want to get the most out of my money that I can including overclocking

Also since I'm doing a such a small build I made sure to get thermal grizzly thermal paste

And I'm most likely going to get something off eBay or what not

Cuz I'm definitely not paying full praise right now especially

[thorny saddle]

full price stinks

[dawn tundra]

Yeah man of 4060 is like $600 right now

[swift moss]

Damn

[dawn tundra]

Or at least some or

But not the TI's

Just a regular old 4060

[long goblet]

every time i play skyrim: it's hard to support the faction that wanted to summarily execute me.

[dawn tundra]

You know I was looking at some 3080's on eBay and they're the same price as 40 60 ti's !!!

[thorny saddle]

yeah people are crazy

[dawn tundra]

But which side which side is crazy thats my question

[long goblet]

i have the same moral dilemma each time. now i'm playing a khajit, which has no business supporting the stormcloaks, but...they didn't try to execute me.

[latent pasture]

If the deal is that good then I'd rather you ditch the case to get any slightly bigger one that can fit the 3080

[dawn tundra]

I think they can fit anyway

Maybe I don't know

[dawn tundra]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/286461630693?_skw=3080+300mm&epid=28049305346&itmmeta=01JSZSXGHR36A5XAGREF4F5TJ6&hash=item42b27198e5:g:2igAAOSw7ttn8Bse&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1f6oAzNT1zmNc5oZMdmfVT%2FDJBjLXhv9n0yS2u3hRGMeEfXh%2BhL7Xa3noAXJY4gvWEKT%2FEDFduDs3Sg0fB0mPSYSIPOv%2B02ZzoqsVzb53bZuaKXngEQycWOTeGnw8MfO8H6MhFgxSQ7CoP1RLDiNw7yvu1YcKKbDqZJtAVR3fqBYmuCtFGx786xzL2TOf4dUwyUuRqZ9wmEuhr5KFg%2BxjEKN66BNGBdMlUYZqZeVn%2FEg1kG%2FvlVB75AXYCTqeNWMZw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4SJ9vnPZQ so this would definitely not fit in that case

Having more than 6 GB of vram is going to be so nice

[swift moss]

Khajit stealth is where it's at

Or dark elf lightning build

[latent pasture]

even the biggest gpus are like 320-350mm
thats literally 2 inches
is 2 inches of space so incredibly valuable on ur table that ur willing to let go of rtx 3080s at same price as 4060s

[dawn tundra]

What about the "stelf"

Not elf tho
