[manic bridge]

or ti

[bronze summit]

But if you're buying one?

Idk about that man, people overinflate their gpu prices in the used market

[steel umbra]

local markets 💪

[manic bridge]

used

are like 300-350

[steel umbra]

sounds good to me

[manic bridge]

yeah

[glacial tulip]

@tidal geyser did u pirate yo shi

[manic bridge]

not ti there is one ti but the guy aint responding

[sinful cobalt]

that has nothing to do with the 12 volt high flame connector

[steel umbra]

yes, i will explode

[abstract wigeon]

very nice combo

[manic bridge]

thxx

with an aio gonna build it tmrw

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/kamen-rider-zero-one-shining-assault-hopper-kamen-rider-vulcan-assault-wolf-bomb-gif-16210429

[manic bridge]

first with my old gpu 1080

then i will buy the gpu the aio isnt arrived

[tidal geyser]

No

[inner veldt]

Does it worth getting NH-D15 G2 LBC over Arctic LFIII Pro 360?

[hybrid yacht]

I want to burn a school chromebook

[sinful cobalt]

im gonna assume thats the noctua air cooler vs a arctic aio

AIO is better in this regard

noctua is expensive and has a niche colour scheme

[nova zealot]

How does it work getting a second GPU to use for GPU pass through in a VM?

[mellow cairn]

step 1: get a GPU

step 2: pass it through to a VM

[sinful cobalt]

genius

[nova zealot]

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/sentokiryu-kamen-rider-build-kamen-rider-kiryu-sento-gif-18594802

amazing statement

[mellow cairn]

I mean, I've done it. I also had to do some screwing around fitting all my cards into my server, but it's not rocket surgery

[odd marsh]

As an owner of the NH-D15 G2, just get the AIO

[sleek ibex]

Same

As much as I like the G2, it is grossly overpriced

[odd marsh]

yeah

especially when the liquid freezer iii pro is like $80 rn

[rigid fjord]

fuck no

[clear pebble]

So I'm getting a bit frustrated with the new CPU i bought, its the Ryzen 7 5800XT, so many people have helped me, gave me solutions or quick fixes and nothing. I already planning on returning this CPU if my last method of fixing does not work, It just keeps black screening and then restarts the computer. Just now I played for 15 minutes had a Youtube vid in the background and AMD adrenaline to see if temps were too high or ram was being used too much but no, temps were low and ram was only at 15gb usage which I have 32 in total. I'm stumped.

[lethal bay]

Full specs?

[clear pebble]

Ryzen 7 5800XT just bought, 32gb of ram 3600mt/s, RX 6800 GPU

750W bronze powersupply.

[lethal bay]

Hmmmmm

Updated bios?

[clear pebble]

The whole 9 miles, bios, chipsets, ran benchmarks and OCCT to check for errors, updated drivers, checked temps and I even installed my old CPU, the Ryzen 5 3600 and that one ran fine, no problems and works for hours on end. I was excited to upgrade for better performance and vr capabilities but I'm having so many problems.

[wicked cipher]

thunderbolts was cinema

[latent pasture]

the world telling you shouldve bought a 5700x
or 3d

[clear pebble]

huh? whats the diff?

[tidal geyser]

Massive

[latent pasture]

5700x 5800x 5800xt are all the same 8c16t cpu just minor clock speed differences
so ppl just get the cheapest one

[inner veldt]

How it performs?

[odd marsh]

Probably around the same if not better for cheaper

[upper wave]

hopefully this works with my ssd

[inner veldt]

Do You regret ur purchase?

[odd marsh]

I don't regret it, I just had a very specific aesthetic in mind for my build which the NH-D15 G2 fit

[inner veldt]

I wonder how it looks like

[gloomy sleet]

it will

[odd marsh]

My build?

[inner veldt]

Ye

[gloomy sleet]

atleast it should it is an nvme enclosure

[odd marsh]

Just the normal Fractal North noctua build

[inner veldt]

And zotac?

that looks awesome ngl

[odd marsh]

No gigabyte gpu one second

Thats a North XL

[gloomy sleet]

“xl” literally an atx case

[inner veldt]

So clean

[odd marsh]

There’s the Fractal north and the fractal north XL

[gloomy sleet]

why it called xl if it’s literally atx

if it was Eatx i’d understand

[odd marsh]

Cause it's bigger than the normal north

[inner veldt]

Mine looks like this, gonna replace aio with arctic lf3 pro

[gloomy sleet]

that implies that the normal one is L

[odd marsh]

yeah def go for AIO in that

[inner veldt]

Also got 3 bottom fans

[gloomy sleet]

is there a M or S version?

[odd marsh]

idk what you want me to say

[gloomy sleet]

atx is not xl ong

[inner veldt]

After I see noctua+fractal build, got impressed a lot

Thats why I had considered getting this two

[latent pasture]

impressed by the cost

[inner veldt]

But i guess its not worth the cost

[latent pasture]

[odd marsh]

yeah it's a pretty penny

[gloomy sleet]

honestly i don’t understand aesthetic pcs

[tawny knoll]

But the xl is larger compared to the standard one

[gloomy sleet]

your aren’t looking at anyway???

[inner veldt]

NHD15G2 LBC costs 260 USD here

[gloomy sleet]

yeah so the standard one is a large?

[odd marsh]

yeah dont do that

[inner veldt]

Also fractal costs 250

[odd marsh]

I just like having nice looking stuff

[inner veldt]

More expensive than my O11

[gloomy sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/money-burn-cash-shoveling-gif-5348644

[inner veldt]

Same and instead of spending a lot of money on Lian Li fans, I could get that build too but its too late

[gloomy sleet]

i’d prefer my pc to look like it’s gone through a war but have a 5090 then look good with shit specs

[odd marsh]

I mean same, I will always go for performance over aesthetic, but I upgrade the aesthetic overtime afterwards

[junior valve]

arctic p12 max vs corsair ml120

[gloomy sleet]

i’m on a train rn do i plug into one of the usb ports

[willow latch]

be honest, is upgrading from the 3060 ti what your guys option AUD
9070 XT $1400
5070 Ti $1600
5080 $2299

[gloomy sleet]

what’s wrong with the 3060ti

[inner veldt]

9070xt

[odd marsh]

I mean if you are posting the 5080, it means you can afford it. Why not get the best GPU

[willow latch]

Had a 1440p monitor for a while, and getting around 40-60 fps in RDR2/BeamNG driver and using 100% GPU

[gloomy sleet]

if you have to upgrade then i’d get a 9070xt

[willow latch]

yeah lol

[gloomy sleet]

ok yeah your doing something wrong there

beamng gets 170fps avg on my 4060

at 1440p

[odd marsh]

I'd get the 5080, still expensive, but you get access to the full DLSS suite

[willow latch]

tbh i havent tested normal beamNG i always play the multiplayer mod, but if thats how I play its how I should benchmark it yk

[gloomy sleet]

on that i can stay at 60fps easily

rdr2 should also be running fine

[willow latch]

yeee true, i was considering waiting for the ti/super version of it but who knows when and will guaranteed to get more expensive

[gloomy sleet]

i ran that game at 120fps medium settings with no AA

[opal plover]

Uh is this a bad sign?

[elder quarry]

Res?

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[elder quarry]

Clean it

[gloomy sleet]

1440p

get some canned air

[willow latch]

yeah i really pushed the settings of it ever since i got a new monitor, I use to have a 1080p 144hz, now I have the AW2725DF

[gloomy sleet]

or just blow on it will work

[gloomy sleet]

don’t play at ultra settings lmao

imo you don’t need to upgrade off a 3060ti for a while

honestly until 6000 series drops

[opal plover]

I wanna do a new angle on it just Incase

[gilded thistle]

Hi, do fish tank cases have good airflow, or am i better off with mesh cases?

[willow latch]

yeah ofc lol, like ik i could lower the settings and get higher, but tbh even the running it at 1440 with 3060 is pushing the card much harder

[gloomy sleet]

i’m planning on running my 4060 5500 and a310 5600x builds for the next 5+ years

[willow latch]

how 😭

[left dove]

Fish tanks are generally sealed for water retention

[opal plover]

What?

[willow latch]

yeah i got the 3060 in 2019 iirc, whatever time before covid hit and the prices went stupid

[gloomy sleet]

ok that’s a good one

[willow latch]

the dust

[gloomy sleet]

it’s up to you if you want to upgrade the 9070xt will be the best for your money though

[willow latch]

yeah thats what im like considering, like I could get save the grand but also i can afford it :\ idk

[steel umbra]

i see more dust than components

[tidal geyser]

9070 xt

[elder quarry]

That’s bad

[tacit wasp]

New toy

[gilded thistle]

Hi, thoughts on cooler master elite 301 case? Thanks

[opal plover]

Well is this a good solution because I'm not kidding that's what my parents use to clean computers

[elder quarry]

Dust is conductive

[tidal geyser]

only a few qsfp ports

[tacit wasp]

64 of em

[tidal geyser]

just qsfp or qsfp+ or qsfp28

[steel umbra]

average dust isn’t very electrically conductive

[tacit wasp]

Qsfp+

40gig each

[gloomy sleet]

mf just blow on it atleast

[elder quarry]

Yeah but still a good practice

[gloomy sleet]

buy a can of compressed air

[tidal geyser]

oo big nice

[tacit wasp]

Compressed air isnot cheap

[gloomy sleet]

it’s like £3 for a can

[tacit wasp]

Get yourself that one turbo mini fan

[tidal geyser]

i wanna see QSFP-DD

[steel umbra]

i think he should clean it because dust inside bearings isn’t nice, and dust obstructs heatsink effectivity

[elder quarry]

Compressor

[gloomy sleet]

that’s like £15

[opal plover]

Wait what about the Intel spinning fan you know the fan that's attached alongside the CPU does that need a replacement?

[elder quarry]

People get more scared and do it because they think their pc will explode

[tacit wasp]

That's a long ass boi

[gloomy sleet]

uh i would

take it off and clean it

[elder quarry]

Then apply new

[steel umbra]

you explode

[opal plover]

But I am actually talking about the fan itself is it outdated?

[elder quarry]

explosion

[steel umbra]

i explosioned

[elder quarry]

All my Linux machines hostnames is related to explode

[gloomy sleet]

no

[opal plover]

But my friend called it Crappy though

[gloomy sleet]

it isn’t

the whole pc is but the cooler is fine

[opal plover]

But I also wanna buy a quadro GPU where can I find it?

[gloomy sleet]

why do you want a quadro?

what are you doing?

[elder quarry]

I have a fx1800

[elder quarry]

||some of|| them suck

[opal plover]

Well I have plans to use UE5 and blender for animation

[gloomy sleet]

they all do outside of the £10000 ones

[opal plover]

And I need more programs

[elder quarry]

Why quadro

[gloomy sleet]

most gpus will be fine for that

[dapper pendant]

Any m3u exports?

[gloomy sleet]

my 4060 handles blender fine

[opal plover]

I would want it because I would want like 30 tabs or 40 tabs on browser multitasking while animating or researching

Or learning skills

[latent pasture]

what does quadro do for that lmao

[gloomy sleet]

that has nothing to do with your gpu

[latent pasture]

quadros r literally just the same gpu
which is why nvidia just straight up markets the 'gaming' gpus for production workloads lol

[elder quarry]

You know nothing about this huh?

[gloomy sleet]

the productivity gpus are marketed for gaming*

[opal plover]

I have a GTX 1650 and my computer had been suffering through lots of bsods lots of freezes and even the memory usage was at 100 or even CPU at 100 in task manager

[elder quarry]

Gotta start somewhere (;

[opal plover]

I have bloat that I am not aware of

[gloomy sleet]

cough cough 5090 cough cough

[elder quarry]

memory, cpu

[opal plover]

I needed an upgrade

[latent pasture]

ok so, wouldnt you think that you need to upgrade the memory and cpu then lmao

[opal plover]

And a complete windows reinstall

[gloomy sleet]

your whole build needs an upgrade if so

[opal plover]

No my computer had been suffering so I was So frustrated

[elder quarry]

🐧
Are you scared of him

[latent pasture]

my cpu and ram are 100% util
"i need a quadro"

[opal plover]

I had a thought that I broke everything accidentally

[gloomy sleet]

need £15k gpu

[elder quarry]

Theb upgrade cpu and memory

Also do not get frustrated when you can easily solve it

[opal plover]

Ugh sorry for saying that though

I've just been so frustrated

My mind was clouded

Just give me some time to calm down please

[narrow hornet]

Yo he said only matlab for the first year, kinda vague but

I found one at Costco with rlly nice specs

And a 4060

.

[elder quarry]

Currency?

[opal plover]

yeah i'm so sorry

[uneven crescent]

Hi

[elder quarry]

It’s just a tip, no need to

[elder quarry]

no

[narrow hornet]

Australian

[elder quarry]

Ah

[hot heart]

Check the weight and battery life. A ton of laptops with a gpu have bad battery life which becomes an issue for some people and also ones that do have a bigger battery tend of be rather heavy to carry around all day. You should consider this and how much of a problem it may or may not be before you buy it.

[narrow hornet]

This one was fairly light

If I had to guess 1.5kg?

[hot heart]

That's pretty light then, how long would the battery last?

[narrow hornet]

No idea

Nice specs tho right?

[hot heart]

Yeah its pretty good it seems.

You should look at other similar laptops online before you buy it incase you fine a better deal.

[elder quarry]

Weight? Also check cooling

[narrow hornet]

I’ve taken a look

I’m barely finding

[narrow hornet]

Tbh I’ve just accepted cooling is gonna be mid for any “gaming laptops”

But I’ll check as well

[hot heart]

There are some good ones, but they can be rather loud at times.

I am not sure how common this is, but being able to turn off the gpu is a nice feature.

Since stuff like Roblox which you play should still work just fine on the iGPU.

Would save you quite a bit of power.

[narrow hornet]

I doubt Roblox would need a gpu lol

I used to play Roblox on max graphics at max fps on my sisters i7 laptop which I uses to steal on early Sunday mornings when everyone would sleep

It was intergrated graphics

I just want the gpu for uni stuff

[inner veldt]

Are these scratches critical on my GPU and mobo?

[hot heart]

I have Intel Iris Xe graphics on my laptop and it does struggle to run some of the more demanding Roblox games at max graphics at times.

This is on Intel's 11th gen.

[narrow hornet]

This was prob a 7th gen cpu

But to be fair it was back in 2019

And wasn’t a really demanding game

[narrow hornet]

Let your pc rest

It needs it

It has been 3 days

[hot heart]

I got Chome, Discord, Spotify, and Task Manager open.

And its at 41 percent.

[narrow hornet]

i used to run like a 1.4 ghz cpu

with 4 gb of ram

and use it on roblox’s most undemanding games

[hot heart]

I used to use 256mb of vram.

[narrow hornet]

i think my record low was 2FPS

[quaint citrus]

Yo does anyone know a good laptop that can play games like cs2 at 60fps for under 300$

[narrow hornet]

On 2 graphic bars

[narrow hornet]

nope

that’s like chromebook lvl

maybe someone else knows

[upper wave]

web apps are getting quite good nowadays, compared to a few years ago
CAD applications can now run in a browser decently

[glacial tulip]

How did u get 300 games then

[tidal geyser]

epic games

[tidal geyser]

i did already say it

but i have just kept claiming it since subnautica

well not all, ngl been pretty bad at it

[latent pasture]

gpu is almost irrelevant for battery life since the laptops just turn it off

[formal sonnet]

$500-$600 maybe, if you're willing to buy something second hand or use integrated graphics with games set to low settings. But not for $300.

[glacial tulip]

Dang let me see

Imma use epic games again

[quaint citrus]

Like Skyrim and gmod on high is a no too?

[formal sonnet]

Correct. Games need horsepower to run. These games might run on low spec hardware, but don't expect ultra settings.

[latent pasture]

filter ebay or whatever used site for rtx 2050 and 3050 laptop

[boreal vine]

inb4 I brick an expensive keyboard

[quaint citrus]

Can anyone help me with some fan configuration?

[robust trail]

Let's pop a breaker

[gilded thistle]

How do I know how much power I need? Specs are ryzen 7 9700x and rtx 5070ti

[elder quarry]

No, cause it will power limit

[grim pasture]

one of my monitors pixel doesn't work what do I do

[sinful cobalt]

750w

[grim pasture]

see the black dot

it doesn't work

the pixel

[gilded thistle]

Does anyone know if the thermal right aqua elite 240 black v3 argb aio is good 💀 thanks

[gloomy sleet]

what cpu

[gilded thistle]

Ryzen 7 9700x

[gloomy sleet]

get an air cooler

[gilded thistle]

Any reason?

[fickle ivy]

holy fuck why does samsung have an artificial bluetooth volume limiter that you cant turn off, my headphones dont get loud enough when connected to my phone]

[gloomy sleet]

you dont need an aio

[gilded thistle]

It comes in a prebuilt so just wondering if needs to change

[latent pasture]

are you some music production thingy that you need the silence

[gloomy sleet]

its fine

[gilded thistle]

No

[gloomy sleet]

its overkill though

[gilded thistle]

Oh I see

Thanks

[gloomy sleet]

amds stock cooler can run that cpu lol

[steel umbra]

a good 650w unit or above

[gilded thistle]

Is a thermal right tr-sg750s 750W 80+ gold ok?

Not sure about the entire psu tier list thing

[proper gull]

It's not rated, but based on their other model's ratings I wouldn't trust it

[robust trail]

lets get to killing breakers. Nah this is on 20A 😛

[gilded thistle]

What would you suggest?

[steel umbra]

price?

[gilded thistle]

Prebuilt so I can only upgrade from the given list

[proper gull]

idk, a Corsair RM750 or whatever known good PSU

[gilded thistle]

Wdym by rated btw

[steel umbra]

do you own the prebuild?

[proper gull]

On the tier list

[steel umbra]

it’s not properly tested

[gilded thistle]

No im customising on the website rn

[steel umbra]

from what i can find

[proper gull]

On what website? Who are you buying this from?

[gilded thistle]

Invaderpc

[steel umbra]

can you build your own?

[gilded thistle]

I think it’s much more expensive

GPUs here are gged

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-more-gif-21856591

[steel umbra]

any other psus?

[robust trail]

MOAR! I could stuff two pro cards in here for fun

[gilded thistle]

Ye lemme send a ss

[odd marsh]

Could be the move, whats in there currently?

[robust trail]

the 5090s

[proper gull]

Unless they're getting very good wholesale pricing, or just burning money for some reason, that's very unlikely

[quaint hedge]

does anynone know why my app in not launching? latest version both of the app and windows, when i double click i get the outline of the app on the home screen but then it goes away after a split second, already tried a fresh install but still nothing any help?

[grizzled frost]

#1027757333117415424

[proper gull]

What are these options 💀

[gilded thistle]

i have no idea the pc market here is cooked

i am lost

[elder quarry]

Oh noo not in windows

[robust trail]

I have some models to test over on windows

[elder quarry]

Ah

[gilded thistle]

are links allowed in this chat

[hybrid yacht]

This screw takes the piss

[steel umbra]

what’s your ac voltage in your house

[proper gull]

I'd say either the Asus or the corsair

[gilded thistle]

no idea whats that 💀

[grizzled frost]

you in the US?

[gilded thistle]

no

[grizzled frost]

what country

[gilded thistle]

singapore

[steel umbra]

look at your outlet it should or may have markings of what voltage it is

[grizzled frost]

230v

[grizzled frost]

usually those are on the inside of the outlet, so not the part safe to touch while the breaker is on

[steel umbra]

230v,240v or 115v,120v are common

[hybrid yacht]

Fuck it

[steel umbra]

like more than 2/3 of european plugs have them engraved or molded on the outlets, not inside

[grizzled frost]

Didn’t know that, over in the US they’re basically never labelled

[proper gull]

Why are you asking this when we already know where they are

It's 230V 50hz

[elder quarry]

Symlinks

/j

[elder quarry]

Yes they are

[proper gull]

Also how is this relevant at all?

[steel umbra]

the asus if you want a cheaper psu
rme if you want slightly better

[hybrid yacht]

the screwdriver takes the piss

I can't remove anything

[gilded thistle]

sorry which is the rme

[hybrid yacht]

what do I do? This is the only screwdriver I have.

[steel umbra]

i’m slow lol

[steel umbra]

rm750e

[hybrid yacht]

Shut up dickheads

[grizzled frost]

wtf

i was inclined to help you till you started being rude

[gilded thistle]

is a $150 to go from ryzen 7 7700 to ryzen 7 9700x worth?

[grizzled frost]

do you have the 7700 right now or no

[gilded thistle]

i have nothing rn

[fringe prairie]

for gaming? no

[steel umbra]

oh, it’s relevant because most GPX platforms, usually not the recent ones tend to not like low ac voltages

[grizzled frost]

most everywhere is going to have minimum 120v

[gilded thistle]

does it barely improve?

[steel umbra]

ye

[gilded thistle]

cause i was thinking of upgrading the case and psu instead of the cpu

[steel umbra]

at 110V or below i would watch it before loading the psu 100%, i’m just ensuring it doesn’t kawpow on him

[grizzled frost]

a non-issue

110v is on the low end of acceptable operating voltages, but still in the range of acceptable

[proper gull]

What are you smoking bud

[azure topaz]

only a 1kw cpu whats the problem

[steel umbra]

GPX platforms (expect for the recently fixed ones) tend to explode at 100V

[grizzled frost]

100V

[steel umbra]

they’re rated for 100-240V

[azure topaz]

got him there

[steel umbra]

so…

[azure topaz]

(well, 350w, but 1kw if you want it to be/have the skill)

[grizzled frost]

doesn’t matter anyways, they have 230v

[tidal geyser]

not enough cores

[azure topaz]

yeah true he has as many cores as my 13900ks

[steel umbra]

yeah also from what ero sent the 90V requirement iirc is required by intel to comply with atx spec

[grizzled frost]

i really hope no one has 90V

[tidal geyser]

well the difference in performance

[steel umbra]

some parts of the world do actually unfortunately use such low voltages as 90, 100V rarely tho

[azure topaz]

SHUT UP

[grizzled frost]

those people usually know it though

[tidal geyser]

bad transformer

[steel umbra]

explode

[grizzled frost]

transformer transformed into gaseous metal

[tidal geyser]

and now with zen 6 amd is going to but 12 cores in just one ccd

so their dual ccd aka r9 cpus will be 24 good zen 6 cores

[elder quarry]

ac/dc

[grizzled frost]

voltage differences in ac/dc hurt my head

[tidal geyser]

then to the 90v thingy, 110v is what you are meant to have in your walls if that is your country that has it, but the longer a cable gets the lower the voltage is

[thorn pewter]

Wait wrong AC/DC 😔

[steel umbra]

ac input

[grizzled frost]

they’re never the wrong AC/DC

[elder quarry]

fr

[tidal geyser]

o yeah funny thing about that last part, half of japan is 50hz and the other 60hz

[grizzled frost]

disgusting

[steel umbra]

anyways, 90V is intel’s stopid spec which applies to full load for some reason, and 100V exists in some countries so…

gpx exploding could be a concern for some

[azure topaz]

90v full load probably accounts for droop in places like japan that run on only 100v

[steel umbra]

fortunately it won’t cause or shouldn’t in case it does kaboom damage your other components

unlike gigabajt old p-gm

[steel umbra]

yeah, it’s just weird intel is oddly specific about the 90v spec having to start the psu at 100%

it sounds like a disaster for psu makers

[steel umbra]

yeah but longer cable shouldn’t cause significant difference, unless it’s very loong, which you shouldn’t use

also brownouts exist

[thorn pewter]

@azure topaz you know, intel specifies that 90v only has to comply with 100% load at startup, and sustained

from my understanding it does not specify it is allowed to start at like 50%

[azure topaz]

weird

i mean i feel like 100% load probably encompasses below

yeah i don’t know it’s just… this is from ero where i learned da info:

[azure topaz]

word and weird asf

[neon ocean]

Quick q

Has anyone heard of a Y60 case not allowing for a full connection with a hdmi cable? It's close enough to work, but it's.. odd

[abstract wigeon]

as in hyte y60

send pic?

[random gyro]

How do ppl pick a cpu 😭

[sinful cobalt]

is it shit for the money

n what platform is it on

[random gyro]

I'm building my first pc and i'm looking at the i5-12400 and ryzen 5 5600 as of rn

I ngl can't tell a difference between the newer generations tbh why do they cost more 😭

like 13400f and 14400f same cpu????????????

[sinful cobalt]

if yw upgrade path for pure gaming go for 5600

12400f is slightly faster than 5600

[random gyro]

The thing is that I had a laptop for school but I unironically can't game on it bcuz of the 4gb of vram ☠️

[sinful cobalt]

but x3d slaps intel with its upgrade path for pure gamin

[random gyro]

so my reference point is with the i5-12450h I have as of rn

[random gyro]

I probably wouldn't need to upgrade for a while tbh so

[sinful cobalt]

13 vs 14 gen is basically 14 eat more power for the slight perf increase

[dapper grove]

Hey guys im pretty new here, i have a question. Ive got myself a new Gigabyte 4070 Super recently. It worked absolutly fine the 1st month but since the latest Nividia Driver update my GPU fans are randomly rapping up to 100% and my PC goes into black screen mode.

Is this normal atm because ive heard that Nividia fucked up there drivers recently

[random gyro]

Are the extra cores on the 12450h just low performance ones and then the desktop counterparts have higher core clocks as compensation?

[steel umbra]

i think some older i5-13400f are alder lake, not raptor

[sinful cobalt]

mobile chips are nerfed in general

because of limited cooling solutions and power consumption

[azure topaz]

not that it does anything

[random gyro]

is 14 gen worth it or skip

[frosty prism]

Just recently bought an anker soundcore 2, (a speaker) I have the windows audio on 1 but its still super loud when watching youtube or anything else, the only way i can reduce the audio is by actually going into youtube and reducing it from there and i have to be super accurate for it to be low, any fixes?

[sinful cobalt]

i dont keep up with the intel stuff anyway

[sinful cobalt]

skip, intel cpus rn are not worth. if ur building using brand new parts, its worthwhile to bite the bullet cost and build with a AM5 set instead.

[steel umbra]

1% 🧌

[random gyro]

theyre way cheaper tho 😭

[steel umbra]

huge difference

[random gyro]

and the mobo is cheaper too and ddr4 support idk

[sinful cobalt]

yea nvidia drivers are fked, u need to DDU driver uninstall and install a previous driver version known to be stable

[azure topaz]

intel cpus are probably worth it to the average end user if theyre cheap enough lol

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1151983877699670066/1368972420710531224/attachment.gif

[sinful cobalt]

normally for ddr4 i’d recommend getting used parts but up to u

biting the bullet is my personal opinion

[sinful cobalt]

yeah true, sadly that hasnt been the case in my country

[steel umbra]

some 13400fs were made differently

[azure topaz]

intel cpus are pretty cheap in the states to the point where you could probably consider it over am5 even

[sinful cobalt]

but they are ensured to function pretty much the same

[azure topaz]

13600kf at 189$ is very very very very hard to beat

[steel umbra]

i think even 14400f lol

but i think there was smoller batch of alder take 14400fs vs 13400f

[random gyro]

I'm Polish lol

[azure topaz]

i mean it could still apply

i said states cause thats where i live and intel cpus are indeed cheap here

[sinful cobalt]

I think the i5s rn have some great pricing over there, if the user has no plans to upgrade and just build another when they need it, then yeah I’d go ahead

[steel umbra]

7700 tray: ajajajaja

[azure topaz]

you probably would be anyways since am5 is getting 1* more gen

[wraith bone]

can you put 120mm fans on the arctic freezer 420 ?

[random gyro]

Yeah that's what i'd probably do

[azure topaz]

an ultimately slower chip imo

[sinful cobalt]

prob yes but 60mm worth of space will be blank lmao

[steel umbra]

yes

but also cheeper

[azure topaz]

is it?

i dont think a 7700 tray is under 200$

[sinful cobalt]

7700 is indeed slower in general, plus if u get tray u get no warranty lmao

[steel umbra]

if you have patience to wait from 🇨🇳

[sinful cobalt]

im not a fan of the 7700 bcs its in such a weird spot imo

[wraith bone]

i have 3 noctua nf a12 x25 fans and 3 phanteks t30 fans laying around , was planning to buy the LF3 420 , will test if it makes too much noise under load then ill have to change the fans and see the perf.

but are the fan cables routed from inside the tubes ?

[azure topaz]

valid but with a 13600kf its boxed w/warranty and guaranteed brand new

[steel umbra]

cpus are one of the components to not die often

[raw olive]

wow im getting old, 7700 reminds me of 7700HQ

[steel umbra]

aight you win

the blue box is way too nice

[azure topaz]

why not 7700k? did you have a 7700HQ laptop?

[sinful cobalt]

yes but if u get a faulty unit its better to be safe than sorry, risk is low since theres QC but its still there

depends on the buyer

[azure topaz]

love my 13900ks box

[sinful cobalt]

btw floppa yk how i went for the intel laptop

[azure topaz]

mhm

[sinful cobalt]

I refunded the thing b4 i collected and im going back on my decision

to bite the bullet getting 32gb ram

[azure topaz]

fair

[raw olive]

i used so many 6700HQ/7700HQ laptops
my "new" company laptop has a 7700HQ, so im quitting tomorrow

[azure topaz]

LOL

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz meow

[azure topaz]

if thats seriously the reason let me see the note to your boss or whatever 💀

[raw olive]

obviously not the reason im quitting but its one of them

[azure topaz]

"PS. fuck your stupid 7700hq laptop"

[raw olive]

them failing to fucking pay me and also yes fuck their 7700hq laptop

[empty quartz]

Bro is quitting because of a laptop

[random gyro]

Y'all what about VRAM?

[swift thorn]

At the next interview:
"Why'd you quit your last job?"
"They gave me a laptop with a 7700HQ in it"

[random gyro]

Bcuz I was thinking about getting an used 3060 the sole reason I need a pc in the first place is cuz my 3050 has 4gb 😭 and I can't see any AMD alternatives

[steel umbra]

i mean the risk is boutta 1%, you got a 80 day return window in case the cpu deds within that on aliexpress for example, unless you order from other non/international chinese marketplaces
if you multi $170 by 1.0(1%) or divide whatever you get about $1.7 less value

[raw olive]

im supposed to get paid on 1st
its 5th
they do this shit every single month, some months even delaying to 20th, i even jokingly said "well just keep it for 10 more days and pay it all the next month"

[steel umbra]

but yeah up to the person if da risk worth it

[raw olive]

fuck em

[steel umbra]

boxen

[empty quartz]

You stinky

[steel umbra]

u

[empty quartz]

Go shower, and get a job

[steel umbra]

yes

now your turn

@empty quartz

[empty quartz]

I already have a job

[steel umbra]

-+-+-2172% chance self employment does not count

[raw olive]

hey if he makes money he makes money

[empty quartz]

I work for an apple authorized service center/retailer

[steel umbra]

fals

[raw olive]

oh no authorized service center

[empty quartz]

?

[steel umbra]

okay self employeńmen beter

[empty quartz]

No

[raw olive]

no buli hey hey hey

[empty quartz]

@steel umbra i make 17.50/hr

(Cad)

[steel umbra]

cad 🤣

[sinful cobalt]

@azure topaz i just asked and this open box unit isnt refub
just taken out for demo purposes

[empty quartz]

((Minimum wage))

@raw olive wanna know a perk of my job

[steel umbra]

yeah, ours is even lower at like €4 an hour in stinky ~mid europe

unless i go osterreich

or germanium

[empty quartz]

I can get free stuff like this imac

[dapper grove]

Thanks Alex will do that right now!

[steel umbra]

worth

[sinful cobalt]

I should apply for a job at AMD in the future, office is like 7 min walk from my house gahdamn

I needa account for work benefits!

[steel umbra]

yeah janitor would be a very cool job

[sinful cobalt]

ur not funny

[empty quartz]

I wish i could see what alex is saying

[steel umbra]

yes

[sinful cobalt]

nah but fr their office is like few mins away

[empty quartz]

I blocked him, but every time i try to open blocked messages discord crashes

So i cant even unblock him easily

[sinful cobalt]

💀

[jaunty apex]

Yes you can

[empty quartz]

I said easily

[steel umbra]

well, if you apply i wish u luck

[empty quartz]

I know the other way, it just takes longer to do

[steel umbra]

i hope you get a place as a janitor /j

[jaunty apex]

Define easily

Because if going to settings is hard then that might be the right job tbh

[empty quartz]

Its on mobile

[azure topaz]

yeah but do you get useful garbage?

[empty quartz]

Free 1tb hdd’s

(Although, i have to do a security wipe if i want one)

[azure topaz]

yeah i do that but for SSDS here

[empty quartz]

Free imac

[azure topaz]

i get free ram, storage, recycled things constantly

got my new lpatop from work a couple days ago

[empty quartz]

Dms

[azure topaz]

allegedly

[jaunty apex]

Account settings, my account

[steel umbra]

the red button

[jaunty apex]

Yes

[steel umbra]

i wonder what it does

[jaunty apex]

Doesn't delete anything that's for sure

[sinful cobalt]

mayb u can find out for urself

rel

should i play with lossless on a igpu

[steel umbra]

don’t buy lossless

use fsr or XeSS

[frigid blade]

I think making the button red makes it more likely for someone to click without needing to

Red button attracts the curiosity

[steel umbra]

“do not press” button in red and blinking attracts even more curiosity

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/red-button-spam-press-button-click-gif-17367381

[frail topaz]

hmmm is there a video where the arctic liquid freezer iii's fans get removed? i want a more in depth look

[steel umbra]

i think the manual

[nimble burrow]

With how the current market is is it better to just buy a laptop or go for the desktop and laptop?

[frigid blade]

depends on what youre looking for

[frail topaz]

because im going to have to remove the fans and put them back on from the radiator, and i see that the fans are controller via the cable that runs to the pump and i need to see how the fans are connected to the pump/something else?

[steel umbra]

i think it’s justs screws

[frail topaz]

yeah but i mean the cables

[steel umbra]

that hold the fans on the lf3

[frail topaz]

yeah i know how the fans are held into place but im talking about the cables

[empty quartz]

@frail topaz hear me out

[frail topaz]

sure

[empty quartz]

2 2009 mac pro’s for $40 cad

[frail topaz]

fuck yeah wtf

[azure topaz]

[frail topaz]

same bro same

[azure topaz]

🤝

64gb ram has been a TREAT

[frail topaz]

there aint much load rn cz noone is using it but it can spike very high

[azure topaz]

theres da full specs and names

[empty quartz]

If i had $500 cad, i would have 4x that

[azure topaz]

and heres the 2nd node

[empty quartz]

256gb of ram :3

[azure topaz]

tbf this 64gb (4x16GB) was free from work so not mad at all

[empty quartz]

32gb ddr3 dimms are expensive and rare as fuck

[steel umbra]

https://youtu.be/yWR52fzDoLo? 11:30

[empty quartz]

I could get 128gb ddr3 for 10 cad per dimm

8x16

[azure topaz]

im 93% sure ddr4 16gb ecc is about 10$ a dimm

[empty quartz]

Probably

But, the mac pro im buying at 4pm is ddr3

[azure topaz]

ah

[empty quartz]

Alternatively

I could get ddr5 ecc

Might be cheaper than normal ddr5

[azure topaz]

i dont think so i dk

[grizzled frost]

about the same price iirc

[frail topaz]

no i know that but what i want to know is that where the fans are connected, so basically i have the radiator, i want to remove the fans from it, mount the radiator and then mount the fans from the outside of my case into the rad

[swift thorn]

any idea if I can get more than 16gb at 4800 ddr5 on the 12500h?

[azure topaz]

as much as your laptop fits

[swift thorn]

dont understand. you mean I can put upto 64gb of ddr5 RAM and the CPU will handle it?

[azure topaz]

yes

if your laptop has 2 slots/if you have sticks big enough

[swift thorn]

cool, may upgrade to 2x16 later

[grizzled frost]

you could do like 2x64gb dimms

[swift thorn]

I don't think I could, cause

[azure topaz]

i may add a third machine to my proxmox cluster

[swift thorn]

they give you the warning "dependent on memory type" but they don't elaborate which is kinda confusing

[steel umbra]

I'm reading this like fifth time and i didn't figure out what are you trying to do with the fan cables

[nimble burrow]

Need an upgrade to give my pc to my brother

[bronze summit]

Sod off

I just want to play watch dogs dawg ]

[steel umbra]

Ohh

Way too sleep deprivey

uh, the cables are coming from the rad i think

[tidal geyser]

Wish me luck, this is like 170$ worth of stuff that got this much protection

[blazing onyx]

this, is hurting every braincell that remains in my head

[steel umbra]

So you want to mount the rad at the front inside of the case and fans outside the chassis?

[blissful halo]

Can I just connect a USB speaker to my ps5 for audio?

[steel umbra]

That may be possible depending on if there is a hole big enough to fit the cable and fans

Srry for the misunderstandin

[steel umbra]

5060 = 5050
All you should know

Nvidia has shifted the product stack naming

[blazing onyx]

its still 2 generations ahead though like, wtf

[steel umbra]

I mean, gtx 1050 non ti also had 2gb of vram

[blazing onyx]

what does that have to do with anything

[kindred halo]

Compared to a 3050, is the 6550M better or worse? Seeing as the 6600 is the equivalent of a worse 3060, I think they'd be somewhat equal?

Techpowerup didn't show a mobile 3050 result

[steel umbra]

that the 5060 is really a renamed 5050

[kindred halo]

Only 8GB, technicalcity said said 6650M outclasses the 3050 by 5%

[blazing onyx]

Still

[cedar hollow]

Hmmm nah I don’t think so this gen

[blazing onyx]

an 8gb 5050 should still be better than a 3060, even at 12gb

[cedar hollow]

4060 is a renamed 4050 yeah but the 5060 isn’t

[tidal geyser]

Look what I got

[pseudo linden]

Can someone explain why are the prices between these like 300euros when they give basically the same performance

[kindred halo]

Yeah two Generation difference

[cedar hollow]

Reason being 4060 is based on AD107 while the 5060 is GB206

[tidal geyser]

1TB slim ssd

[frigid blade]

the used market is so clutch, I can get a $450 new mobo for $230+shipping on eBay

[kindred halo]

Congrats :3c

[cedar hollow]

electronics tend to depreciate so yeah

[frigid blade]

But by that much? Its basically new

GPUs dont depreciate like that

[cedar hollow]

ebay boards are usually repaired stuff

it was broken before and it got fixed

[blazing onyx]

tell that to hardware unboxed i guess lmao

[tidal geyser]

Dust

[frigid blade]

The description says it was a new board that someone bought and returned saying it didnt work, they tested it and it worked just fine. Some people are just dumb lol

[cedar hollow]

Lol

[steel umbra]

I mean 4090 -> 5090 is about 30% diff, 4070 ti /super -> 5070 ti 10-25%
5060 is like ~25%? From 4060

[cedar hollow]

25% is a sizeable improvement

[frigid blade]

Its the Gigabyte Z790 AORUS MASTER X

[cedar hollow]

especially when you consider that the 60 class cards are the most purchased cards

[blazing onyx]

if theyre both renamed then the percentages are gonna line up

[steel umbra]

Well the 4060 wasn't particularly good

[blazing onyx]

look at 4060 vs 3060

[cedar hollow]

4060 was like 10-15% improvement in performance but was also VASTLY more efficient

Like I think it was a 30% efficiency improvement which is crazy

[barren breach]

Anyone have a good recommendation for a good bang for buck 14th gen cpu? Im doing a new build and already have a MSI Z790 gaming + wifi, I was gonna pair it with a core I5 14600KF unless someone has a better option

[steel umbra]

Y

[blazing onyx]

14600kf sounds good

[cedar hollow]

Yeah 33% improvement

so 4060 draws 2/3rds of the power of a 3060 while being 10-15% faster

that’s an impressive feat in my opinion

[gloomy sleet]

same

[steel umbra]

I mean... 30% faster while being able to make the gpu draw third less for 15% less uplift would've been nicer

[gloomy sleet]

i got mine under 75w

[steel umbra]

By undervolting

[sudden minnow]

I need a opinion guys

[gloomy sleet]

disagree

i like it entirely because of the power draw

[sudden minnow]

2013 MacBook Pro, is it still viable in 2025 for basic things?

[gloomy sleet]

and amd doesnt have anything that competes with it

[sudden minnow]

Sorry for interrupting

[gloomy sleet]

basic things like using google watching netflix and shit yeah itd be fine

[frail topaz]

yup

[steel umbra]

I mean you can make the gpus draw less power

[frail topaz]

because of how my case is laid out, here ill send some photos

[gloomy sleet]

i have

[gleaming rose]

put linux on it then yea

[gloomy sleet]

mine draws sub 75w

[cedar hollow]

They’d have to use AD106 if they wanted the 4060 to be any faster

[sudden minnow]

Appreciate u bro

[steel umbra]

Ye

[sudden minnow]

Will do

[steel umbra]

Which the 4060 should have been imo

[cedar hollow]

and anyway, 5060 is gonna smack the daylights out of the 4060

4060 is an irrelevant card now

[blazing onyx]

and the 3060 12gb im guessing?

[cedar hollow]

yes

[frail topaz]

@steel umbra

[blazing onyx]

i guess hardware unboxed is just full of shit lol

[gloomy sleet]

disagree

still got good power draw

[cedar hollow]

The biggest bottleneck with the 4060 was memory bandwidth and GDDR7 on the 5060 matches the memory bandwidth of a 2080 Super

[gloomy sleet]

mine draws under 75w and performs only 7% worse then stock

[cedar hollow]

5060 will be more powerful and more efficient and solve the biggest issue that the 4060 suffers

[gloomy sleet]

that was never an issue for me tbh

[cedar hollow]

it’s an issue for every 4060 user

because that’s literally what holds that gpu back

[gloomy sleet]

i mainly play games that barely use 2gb of vram anyway

[cedar hollow]

it doesn’t matter how much vram you use

[blazing onyx]

i might as well qualify as a 4060 user since i have a mobile 4070

[cedar hollow]

the memory bandwidth will always affect it

[blazing onyx]

Overall its not that bad

[hallow jasper]

Be careful who's "facts" you listen to around here. This is TC1, afterall.

[gloomy sleet]

oh no 350fps instead of 400fps!!!!!!!!

[blazing onyx]

yea i still think hardware unboxed is full of shit

saying the 12gb 3060 is just straight up better than the 8gb 5060?

[hallow jasper]

Link to where that was claimed.

[hallow jasper]

Did it perform better in specific VRAM limited scenarios?

[cedar hollow]

i think he’s posing a question rather than making a claim

[elder quarry]

what??

[cedar hollow]

albeit yes that is a very clickbaity thumbnail lmao

[elder quarry]

oh this was a year ago

[empty quartz]

Discrod

[elder quarry]

lol

[tidal geyser]

Mo dust

[elder quarry]

not too bad

[bronze summit]

75hz fucking sucks man

[blazing onyx]

Better than my laptop having a battery life of 2 seconds on 240hz lol

[swift thorn]

there are certain people in this world that need to get a compressed can of air as their christmas present. (you aren't one of them, this isn't THAT bad)

[elder quarry]

This (was) my server case

I've seen worse tho

[elder quarry]

150psi

wow

[swift thorn]

yes that works too but then said people would just let it collect dust as well which is a waste of money

[tidal geyser]

Well

Computer

[blazing onyx]

I would say weak, but one of those is probably worth more than all of the ones sitting under my bed

[tidal geyser]

:3

[blazing onyx]

There's like, 10 optiplex 7010's sitting down there with cpus pulled and no hard drives

Or ram

[tidal geyser]

Yeah optiplexes are sad

[blazing onyx]

I literally only took them because my highschool was throwing them out

And I didn't have my own pc at the time

[tidal geyser]

O god are they even i chips

[blazing onyx]

Now I have my 3k laptop and a half-ass broken desktop under my desk

[blazing onyx]

Theyre 3rd gen

[tidal geyser]

Wtf

[blazing onyx]

I have 1 that's 4th

[tidal geyser]

Is it a private school

[blazing onyx]

Public

[frigid blade]

friend wants to upgrade, he’s got these specs:

Ryzen 5 5600G
16GB DDR4 3200
1tb SSD
3060

I’m thinking with a $500 budget he can upgrade to AM5 I just don’t know what cpu

[tidal geyser]

Only thing I can see why is windows 11

[blazing onyx]

don't get a 5600g

[tidal geyser]

What res

[tidal geyser]

He already has it

[frigid blade]

That’s what he has

[tidal geyser]

But it's nice to have a built in 1030

[blazing onyx]

Oh I thought it was what he was planning

Shit

Ok, the school wasn't even upgrading to windows 11 yet, they were still on 10 and throwing these out

[frigid blade]

1080p, but at some point he wants to upgrade to 4k

He said 1440p is fine tho

[tidal geyser]

Well not in 6 months

[frigid blade]

He has the OMEN 30L atm

[blazing onyx]

*and then our dumbfuck esports coach, got gaming desktops with 13900's,

and then put 3060's in them

[tidal geyser]

Ngl I would just get a new monitor and gpu maybe monitor first

[frigid blade]

No bottleneck if he upgrades GPU?

[tidal geyser]

Like yeah fps games are pretty cpu intensive but like

[frigid blade]

The GPU is kind of an issue, he’s got 70% usage when he’s streaming on discord lol

[tidal geyser]

5600g is bad but not that bad

[blazing onyx]

That was 2 years ago they started throwing them out,

They're not upgrading to 11 until the end of this school year

[tidal geyser]

No

That is encoder not 3d

[frigid blade]

But that’s only encoder

Yah

[kindred halo]

Okay I think I've been able to make up my mind

Over
-HP Victus 15-FA0033DX (12450H, 8GB/512GB, 3050) - 570 USD pre tax

They're both somewhat shite options but 4050s only appear in the 750 range

From 600-700 it's for some reason just 2050s

[blazing onyx]

Surprised laptops with any dgpu come that cheap, damn

[frigid blade]

What GPU and RAM would you get with a $500 budget then?

[magic topaz]

Any of you know what Brand AIO This is

[kindred halo]

Cheapest I've seen is I think like 400 something

[azure topaz]

asetek, its an acer oem aio (i think)

[kindred halo]

I don't remember which though

[tidal geyser]

Just get a air cooler

[kindred halo]

Is this question to me or Sim

[blazing onyx]

Mine was like, 2600, but it's also overpriced af because it's alienware

[magic topaz]

sadly that doesn’t answer my question hahs

[kindred halo]

A 610M is integrated right?

[frigid blade]

7600xt?

[frigid blade]

Both

[tidal geyser]

Why you asking in the first place

[magic topaz]

I just wanna know what AIO it is, can’t rly find anything on google

[tidal geyser]

No

[kindred halo]

I meannn
I am probably going to ask the store to upgrade me to 16GB

[magic topaz]

I found it in my basement and wanna sell it

[tidal geyser]

No

[magic topaz]

no?

[tidal geyser]

Just straight up no, it's worth jack shit and hard to sell

[magic topaz]

Can you just tell me what AIO it is? lol

[kindred halo]

Then the cheapest laptop with a dgpu is a Lenovo V15 G4 AMIN for $389

[frigid blade]

Oh the 7600xt seems to be on par with the 3060 lol

[kindred halo]

@blazing onyx

[blazing onyx]

Damn

[kindred halo]

I'll probably ask the pals at the store to switch out to 16GB before purchase

512GB is enough though for now

[blazing onyx]

It's that bad??

[hidden beacon]

is the lian-li hydroshift 360s good? saw something about pump failiures 😵‍💫

[magic topaz]

thank you

[blazing onyx]

Jesus, how bad is the normal 7600 then?

[tidal geyser]

Google has a button for this how have you not done it

[tidal geyser]

4060

[frigid blade]

What store

[magic topaz]

Never knew that existed

[sand needle]

is the 7800xt still a good choice rn?
I can get the xfx black edition for 500€

[kindred halo]

Local, you probably wouldn't know them lol

[tidal geyser]

But like 50$+ cheaper

[tidal geyser]

I would wait for a 9070 xt

[sand needle]

those are 750-850€ rn

do you mean 9060xt?

that one's the main reason I'm unsure

but I'm also on linux so nvidia gpus and very new amd gpus are gonna be a headache

[frigid blade]

What about 5060 Ti?

[true stirrup]

Doesn't exist

[sand needle]

it's gonna come out this or next month

[sand needle]

I'm also considering just saving another 400€ for a 7900xtx

prices for the 9070s are still pretty bad

[blazing onyx]

If you wanna wait a while, you could also just get a 9080xt when they come out

[sand needle]

I never heard of that even being planned

[blazing onyx]

Towards the end of this year

[empty citrus]

My PC keeps Blue Screening after about 30 minutes of gaming (last few times was playing RUST). What logging software should I use to see if it's a heat issue, SSd Issue, or RAM issue?

[sand needle]

could be too long, my rtx 2060 6gb isn't doinh all that well anymore

[steel umbra]

rx 7600? 8gb less vram than 7600xt and slightly lower clocks
r5 7600 vs 7600x? slightly lower clocks

stock

[sand needle]

also I originally waited for the 9070 and 9070xt because I expected prices for the 7000 gpus to drop, but everything went up instead

[steel umbra]

the 7600 xt sucks unless you want/need amd + 16gb

[swift thorn]

event viewer should have something to tell you about it

also what's your BSOD code?

[sand needle]

like, I'm kinda afraid that the next gpu releases are gonna be the same

with msrp nowhere to be seen and even older cards getting more expensive

[true stirrup]

HWInfo64 for temps

[blazing onyx]

I've got an rx 7600, when it DID work it didn't seem tha bad though

until it blew up

[steel umbra]

bsods? i would lean towards unstable ram or cpu

[empty citrus]

I just discovered the Reliability Monitor in W11, look there now. I didn't note the BSOD error number, usually when I look those up their no help.

[sand needle]

it what?

[blazing onyx]

It blew up

[true stirrup]

Remember it the next time

[blazing onyx]

Went up in smoke,
Popped, shut off my pc, and smoked

[sand needle]

damn

at least it wasn't a 5090 tho lmao

[robust trail]

Go go build!

[swift thorn]

usually are thrown by CPU or RAM. you can check using event viewer, though sometimes those are also not very useful

[blazing onyx]

Fair

[robust trail]

mmmm 5090s

[empty citrus]

Will HWiNFO save a log, so I can look at it after a crash? So many temp values

[empty citrus]

Maybe GOG Galaxy Client??
https://i.imgur.com/PKQzH96.png

[swift thorn]

is there a reason you're avoiding event viewer?

[robust trail]

have a dump? https://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed

[empty citrus]

No, just wanted to log temp also

[empty citrus]

Checking it out now

[kindred halo]

OKAY yippee getting a full laptop setup won't cost more than around 700ish

[frigid blade]

that sucks, the dell HP page says the omen 30l mobo only Supports up to PC4-25600 (DDR4-3200)

[kindred halo]

Might be a little lackluster but oh well what can ya do

[frigid blade]

does that mean its just locked from going over?

[kindred halo]

Victus-15, 6550M w/ R5 7535HS & 16/512

Keyboard and mouse are probably irrelevant

[robust trail]

If anyone thinking your rig is lackluster - fuck 'em

Everyone has different needs and wants.

[kindred halo]

I mean, it's a bit lackluster in terms of modern standards lol

3050 Performance, but atleast the CPU is decent

[robust trail]

to be fair.. most of the modern builds are for epeen clout instead of actual requirements

[odd marsh]

I swear I am not compensating for anything

[robust trail]

hah! yeah

[kindred halo]

Fair enough lol

Although atleast the Monitor is decent

AOC 24B1XH2

IPS, 23.8", 100Hz

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-money-giveittome-mr-krabs-spongebob-gif-4184913

[kindred halo]

I'd say it's a decent upgrade over 1336*768p60Hz lmao

[frigid blade]

Actually, it would be more like they hate money if theyre overspending

[kindred halo]

Is anyone interested in the actual full build or no

[frigid blade]

sure

whats it for?

[kindred halo]

I want to know if the junk I am buying is actually decent before I put the money down on it lol

[kindred halo]

Gaming -- mostly light

[odd marsh]

nvm the fact I just bought a new 260$ case, still not compensating

[kindred halo]

Hardest I'll do on it is like Helldivers II or Battlefield V

ANYWAY

[frigid blade]

Why tho

Most cases for $100 work for literally everything

[hallow jasper]

and are lame

[frigid blade]

I don’t get the craze for aesthetics, I like minimalism

[south arrow]

This is the way

[odd marsh]

because I can

[frigid blade]

I guess that works

[lime bone]

Are there any 1.3" squared touchscreen displays available for like a Raspberry Pi Pico or an ESP32? Something like the screens on the Unifi dream machines and switches?

[robust trail]

I took my gaming PC off my desk because it was dusty and unused lol

[frigid blade]

I can’t answer but I love my little ESP32

[plain cypress]

Minimalism can be an aesthetic tho

[sleek ibex]

I'm like an Ace of Spade in terms of most wanted in terms of war crimes on money in this hobby

[frigid blade]

Yah, I guess, but generally it’s not as expensive

[sleek ibex]

[swift thorn]

then you'd hate my desk, there's wires going from everywhere to everywhere

[kindred halo]

Okay wait

[plain cypress]

There are plenty of very expensive "minimalist" components

[swift thorn]

and a bunch of stickers

and a lot of decor, both intentional and unintentional

[kindred halo]

Is it okayish to use a business monitor for gaming purposes

[sleek ibex]

Like the equivalent of posting them online on LiveLeak

[odd marsh]

Your workstation machines are more fun anyways

[kindred halo]

Or is black of G-Sync or whatnot a liability

[robust trail]

Yep

[kindred halo]

Since I can cop an MSI 21.5" 100Hz for 75 pre-tax

[robust trail]

60hz is all you should require, 120 is nice, 144+ is super nice

[kindred halo]

Alright thank ya

ANYWAY back to list

[blazing onyx]

My laptop came with 240hz,
I forced it down to 120 so I could actually have a battery life

[frigid blade]

I don’t think I could ever go back to 60Hz, it’s just the feeling of slowness

[lime bone]

All i can find are round ones lmao

[frigid blade]

It’s so hard to get used to a downgrade

[plain cypress]

I'm not buying a 60hz panel again

[hallow jasper]

Have you started with google images first? I'm getting a lot of options. Few of them from here https://thepihut.com/collections/mini-displays-for-raspberry-pi

[plain cypress]

But I do have to use 60hz at work

[frigid blade]

I was testing the laptop and I absolutely hate 60Hz

[lime bone]

Those arent touchscreen or 1.3 inch square

[frigid blade]

The monitor im getting will be going from 144 to 120, but from 1440p to 4k

[blazing onyx]

I've got my laptop screen for 120hz 1440 stretched gaming,
And then my 42 inch TV for whateverthefuck else I wanna look at 🤣

[hallow jasper]

My guy, the point is try and do a little research on your own. If it exists, finding it is a few keystrokes away.

[lime bone]

Well im already searching for like 30mins

[frigid blade]

I dont think you’ll find a square

There’s plenty of round ones

[lime bone]

I found something like this already, but I dont think that'll work with an ESP32 or rpi

[frigid blade]

Testing is the fun part

[true stirrup]

Get one with pins

[lime bone]

I know, but I cant find those

[true stirrup]

AliExpress has a bunch

[frigid blade]

With touch?

[true stirrup]

Yes

[lime bone]

They dont appear on google then or smthing

[true stirrup]

Search it directly on AliExpress
