[granite sundial]

this is what nbn should have originally been

[near crag]

i really wish they would, the artwork/press materials for the 50 series launch includes proart models, but I think the PRIME card may have replaced it

[granite sundial]

before the liberals fucked up everything

[frigid blade]

Uh oh

[stark spear]

I would absolutely love 500 Mbps

[frail delta]

2.5GbE HFC NTDs have been rolling out for the past ~12 months, along with DAA

[stark spear]

Would be crazy

[granite sundial]

oh yeah its got that same curved heat shroud

[whole tangle]

currently on 800mbps

[near crag]

AUS has the same internet problem that the US does, its big and there are a lot of places where there are no people

[stark spear]

Lucky

[frail delta]

No, we don't

Very different situation. Australia is in a much better position

[granite sundial]

ok and i live in the middle of a city with 5.5 million people

[dawn quarry]

Can’t go wrong with these download & write speeds 🤩

[stark spear]

Australia’s internet problem is more just the governments system is kinda stupid

[near crag]

yeah that's kinda my point

[granite sundial]

also its the opposite 2/3rds of australians live in one of 8 cities

[near crag]

regulations get in the way making sure everyone gets the same level of crappy service

[sinful cobalt]

i stole this image*

[whole tangle]

wish i had that speed but dont have a good ssd

[dawn quarry]

Lmao that’s some insane speeds

[frail delta]

Perhaps in the US, but not really in Australia

[granite sundial]

two thirds of our population live in 5 cities

[dawn quarry]

So worth going gen 5 with ssds

[granite sundial]

NBN co is a single state owned corporation that builds and maintains the network

[frail delta]

[whole tangle]

so i have a question for that. does faster ssd = faster wifi?

[near crag]

that speed is achieveable with a SATA SSD

[dawn quarry]

Oh

[sinful cobalt]

fr 0 ping

[granite sundial]

yeah sata can do 600 MB/s theoretically

[stark spear]

The problem in Australia is they just charge quite a bit of money for like pretty low speeds

And quality of service

[granite sundial]

so youd need 5 gigabit internet to be limited by disk speed

[frail delta]

William Webb is unfortunately correct in that speed teirs are stupid

[stark spear]

Yeah but most SATA devices that aren’t SSDs aren’t reaching anywhere near that

[granite sundial]

yeah speed tiers are mostly arbitrary

[frail delta]

Please don't sue me commsday

[near crag]

*** these are theoretical speeds

[dawn quarry]

32gbs?? WHAT!?

[frigid blade]

This is what I was looking at

[granite sundial]

is there any actual reason to have pcie gen 5 for a regular consumer

[whole tangle]

what the flip.

[robust trail]

It can try but a large amount of that is munched by overhead 😦

[near crag]

if you want loading screens to go REALLY FUCKIN QUICK (but really no)

boot times are even slower now due to memory training and other low level hardware stuff

[granite sundial]

doesnt memory training only happen on first boot

[dawn quarry]

My avg bios time is 15-30sec

[near crag]

not with AM5 unless you change some settings that youre really not supposed to

[dawn quarry]

What does the slot width mean?

[granite sundial]

first boot took like 15 min subsequent ones take like 30 seconds

[robust trail]

Number of electrical lanes

[frigid blade]

like on your mobo, you have an x16 slot for your GPU, theres also x8 x4 and x1

[granite sundial]

or is it still doing some memory training just a lot less

[sinful cobalt]

120 for 1 gig is hella exp

[near crag]

yeah 30s is long, I remember in the DDR3 days I could be at the login screen from cold in about 15s or less

[frigid blade]

You can get 10 gig for that much in utah

[near crag]

NVMe is x4

[granite sundial]

also confusingly low end gpus like the 4060 have physically a 16x slot but they only actually use 8 lanes

[frigid blade]

It also has a 5G Router + battery as backup included which is why I wanted it

[near crag]

also all x16 slots can run in x8/x4/x1, and some boards support "bifurcation" which allows you to run a single x16 as x4/x4/x4/x4 or x8/x8

[dawn quarry]

Any reason why I would have such a slow boot time then?

[frigid blade]

or x8 x4 x4

[robust trail]

Gen6 is going to start requiring retainers and pcie switches. It’s gonna be expennnnsive for gamers.

[sinful cobalt]

i think some 5060ti sff models have x8 pcie physical slots

[granite sundial]

the fastest speeds u can get here are gigabit, to get anything faster its only available from private providers in very select locations (usually just the cbd) for hundreds a month

there was also a 4060 with two m.2 slots on it to use the other pcie lanes

[stark spear]

Yeah

[near crag]

GPUs do not need x16 anymore, haven't really since gen2/3

[frigid blade]

I did a lot of research on bifucation when I was figuring out what mobo I need, was fun

[frigid blade]

yah, 4090 has within 1% performance difference with gen 4 x16 and x8

[near crag]

yeah always a blast, my hyper m.2 x16 card makes full use of it

[granite sundial]

even 4090 on pcie gen 3 is barely a difference

[frigid blade]

and a little more with gen 3 x16 vs gen 4 x8

[frail delta]

Not exactly

[near crag]

yep, only time slot bandwidth matters is with heavily parallelized workloads (IE: not games)

[sinful cobalt]

noo my 1 fps within 700!

[frail delta]

The wholesale price for a 10gig EE tail + UNI is about $1200

[frigid blade]

for some reason im getting better speeds undervolting even though I never thermal throttle? Wth?

[granite sundial]

i see ppl using 1440p monitors with a 5090 or turning ray tracing off with a 4090 because they insist on having 240 fps its crazy

[near crag]

PBO doing its job

[dawn quarry]

using a gen 4 riser cable for a gen 5 gpu barely affects speeds which is crazy to think about

[near crag]

the fact that it works at all is a fuckin miracle

[granite sundial]

is it? most standards are backwards compatible

[near crag]

if you use a gen5 card on a gen5 slot with a gen4 riser you have issues

[robust trail]

What is more fun is pushing a gen3 x16 down a gen4 x8 physical connection by stuffing a gen3 x16 slot into a PCIe switch that runs gen4

[granite sundial]

i can plug usb type a 1.0 with a dongle into usb c 3.2

[robust trail]

Weeeeeee pcie 🙂

[near crag]

pcie switches are cash money

[frigid blade]

can you run a pci device in a pcie slot with some kind of adapter?

that would be cool

[granite sundial]

yeah i was looking at getting an x series chipset for my mobo but i just dont need wifi 7 or pcie gen 5

[sinful cobalt]

isnt that a problem only with nvidia cards? heard not modding it beforehand fucks some stuff up

forgot to do it for my 9070xt when I did the VGPU and it was fine

[near crag]

you can do whatever you want, a PCIe slot is a PCIe slot

[granite sundial]

b650 is good enough for me

[near crag]

you can turn an M.2 slot into a x16 physical slot

[frigid blade]

if youre referring to what I said, I mean PCI to PCIe

[granite sundial]

pretty sure yeah

[robust trail]

Pcie switches are my friends

[frigid blade]

Yah looking it up it seems to be a thing

[robust trail]

Especially the Broadcom ones. I can make them do my bidding. Gimme those switches I’ll make em by bitches.

[near crag]

its not going to break anything but the signal integrity stuff is so sensitive on gen5 that you run into signalling issues

[near crag]

ASICs and FPGAs make the world turn

[granite sundial]

is that x4 wtf

[near crag]

that's m.2 to x16 😄

[sinful cobalt]

idk, gen 5 on nvidia cards were known to be funky while for AMD i never heard of anything

[granite sundial]

oh

why

[thorn pewter]

i mean if ur gaming laptop has a free slot open then why not slide a a external gpu lol

[near crag]

honestly i've thought about doing that before, too many boards are putting too many M.2 slots on their boards robbing me of my precious slots

especially now that HEDT is dead

gimme muh lanes back

[granite sundial]

yeah my b650m is such a downgrade from my old b350m, old one had two 16x slots and two 1x slots, new one is just a single of each

[near crag]

i want an LSI SAS card, USB card, GPU, NVMe card, and SFP+ NIC all running at full bandwidth on my gaming system

[robust trail]

Negative, that isn’t how pcie works.

[supple ivy]

Is y'all internet terrible over there? In NZ ours isn't great like there aren't really many options if you want upwards of gigabit speeds

[near crag]

that's why i picked the proart x870e, seemed to have the best PCIe slot/lane layout of all the boards out there right now

[sinful cobalt]

I prob shldve gotten the egpu setup with my 9070xt lol

[sinful cobalt]

as in gen 5 on nvidia cards werent working properly

[granite sundial]

are the two 16x slots only 2 slots apart?

[thorn pewter]

i mean thunfer exsists, but whats the fun in that, you have to put it in a docking systme in all, this is all just a plug in and then somehow have a external psu on hand and thats about it

[granite sundial]

usually the bottom 16x slot is further down so u can use a 3 slot card and still use a device in the bottom slot

[near crag]

yeah this is a really under-reported on feature, most wifi cards use m.2, and most laptops have 1 or 2 empty slots on the boards...just slap an m.2 extension, then m.2 to pcie x16 adapter on that sucker and game away

[robust trail]

Pcie is a zero sum game, each manufacturer has a PCISIG tester on hand. Devices don’t get a PCIe certification without passing SIG testing

[granite sundial]

its keyed differently

[granite sundial]

two 4080s??

why

[near crag]

unfortunately can't run dual GPUs and still have a 3rd card 😦

[robust trail]

There’s no “This device has problems vs this device.” There’s only errors due to SI or platform issues, unrelated to the device itself nearly all of the time. The device will have a training tolerance and drop if SI is dogshit.

[frigid blade]

wifi cards are E key

[sinful cobalt]

because he can 🗣️

[near crag]

this was for giggles, had a second PA 4080S on hand for a bit and wanted to see it with my own eyes for a bit

also to run some LLM shenanigans

[robust trail]

If you see a gen5 device dropping to gen4 it isn’t the device itself it is the platform it is connected to 🙂

[frigid blade]

I said the same thing when I bought the 4090, and guess what, barely use it for LLMs

[near crag]

dont tell me that, that's the driving force behind me getting a 5090FE and ditching this 4080S

[robust trail]

Ohhhlama

[frigid blade]

Actually, I lied, I used it a lot, I built a captive portal for my ESP32 where I pirated music and movies and shows so I could watch them on planes

[robust trail]

Torch is still… a bit wonky

[frigid blade]

That was a joke, for the most part ^

[robust trail]

I just tossed these into one of my workstations from some retail BW torch dev. The vllm bone is connected to torch 2.7.0 bone that’s connected to the nvcc bone 😦

[frigid blade]

I really hope I can get this down like 3 Watts less, that would save 20% power consumption

half an hour of battery life

running 91C rn thats toasty

[near crag]

making me want to go place an order for a blackwell pro 6000

CDW here i come

also given that this is LTT, may I direct your attention to the stupidest PCIe bullshit I've ever seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsdqfcCx5C8

riley coming in clutch with the stupid random bullshit

[robust trail]

Make sure you order up the workstation card 🙂

[frigid blade]

Do you guys think 10 minutes of cinebench is enough to say my CPU is running stable?

It cant even do a full pass in that amount of time

78 points 💀

[robust trail]

Max q is fun, workstation is funner

[near crag]

in theory? yea probably. if you want a real answer? no leave it running overnight using a real stress testing tool with logging

[solar moat]

and? dose that matter?

[near crag]

yeah i want the workstation card, that dual flow through cooler is so sexy

[granite sundial]

if u really wanna torture it run prime95 with small ffts

[near crag]

also there is NO WAY the maxq card has the same performance, given the 350W TDP

[granite sundial]

it gets my 7600 to 135 watts

[robust trail]

Big chunk. Shows the power connector is fine and the users are the ones who are wrong

[robust trail]

No, it isn’t

[barren breach]

Any chance someone could help me in the tech support page with my M.2 NVMe question? Im very confused and dont see any help on google

[frigid topaz]

Is it normal that my old pc sends Morse code to my headset when it's plugged into front audio ?

[granite sundial]

what are u talking about

[near crag]

interference, put some ferrite cores on your headphone cable

[robust trail]

Actually I’d like to have seen sensing per pin… that would have been preferable on 5090

[frigid blade]

Have any of you ever messed with the Multiplier on ThrottleStop?

[near crag]

sensing per pin is a must if you're going to be that close to the design limits

[robust trail]

Yeah

[frigid topaz]

Ngl I tried to decode it for fun lmao

[near crag]

you never design within 20% of the physical connector limits in electrical engineering without some sort of fail-safe option

[frigid topaz]

Does anyone know how to run a mds file?

[robust trail]

I have personally never had an issue but I’m using power supplies built for the spec

Or the provided squid

[near crag]

yeah problem is the design is wrong if you can use it without knowing you've done something wrong

[robust trail]

Aye, though the 600w pro card doesn’t have issues. I haven’t asked out how power delivery works, if something was added for load balancing across pins.

[formal sonnet]

You don't "run" an MDS - they're used to tell burning software where to put the layer break when burning a dual layer DVD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Descriptor_File

[robust trail]

You would think that the board would draw 75-100 watts from the motherboard and the rest from the aux connector

[near crag]

nah i'm betting with a pretty high level of confidence it doesn't have any of that, they're just banking on the people willing to spend $8k on a card know enough to cover their bases and use the right cables, power supplies, and make sure the connector is plugged all the way in

[robust trail]

It may, I will have to ask. I doubt but would need clarification. None of mine have roasted. My max q has an early, early vbios with basically no fan curve.

[near crag]

honestly theres not enough room on the FE board to have per-pin sense hardware

[robust trail]

Shit will melt your fingerprints 🙂

[near crag]

yeah i dont doubt that for a second

[robust trail]

I need to update it

There is an exposed register to manually change the fan speed but don’t get me started on how lazy I am

[near crag]

reminds me of the days where you had to issue commands to the IPMI of my poweredge servers over telnet to change the fan speed

[robust trail]

Ipmitooooool

[near crag]

fkn tops

[robust trail]

Yeah there are still “hidden” BIOS knobs and levers dell lets you fiddle with via ipmitool. Dudes and dudettes - just expose them in the damn idrac

[empty quartz]

[robust trail]

I do like the G5, cheese grater was a solid chassis design too. Trashcan was an epic design

[frigid blade]

why is the ram to storage ratio so high

[near crag]

yeah the replacement of the G5 the ones with the xeons right

[robust trail]

I really want a trashcan Mac

[empty quartz]

Im testing it

[near crag]

i had the liquid cooled G5 shit was hilarious

[empty quartz]

You want something that runs sooo hot that its more useful as its nickname than a computer?

[robust trail]

Apple designs for thermal edging

[empty quartz]

Ayo

[robust trail]

I want it because it is a solid design. Morons think they’re worth $1000+. I don’t want one for that much.

[near crag]

[empty quartz]

Get a brokey one

[robust trail]

I still want to play with it 🙂

Oh there are some cheaper ones. I’ll look at those

[empty quartz]

[raw plover]

@bronze summit better?

[frigid blade]

replace the <filename.extension> with yours, also make sure you copy your mds file to that directory

Wait what do you have, MDF or MDS?

you need both the MDF and MDS files to convert to ISO format

MDF is the actual disk data, MDS is the metadata about disc structure

[frigid topaz]

i have a diffrent type of files

too confusing

[frigid blade]

got a picture?

youre looking for 2 files, one .mdf, one .mds, same name

why are you putting it on with rufus?

[bronze summit]

RDR1 is on PC, Lego Indiana Jones mid, Gears 2 is alright and FH2 is meh

[frigid blade]

you can just run the configurator inside the iso, double click the file and youll see the application

[frigid topaz]

dont i need rufus to make it into a booteable usb?

[bronze summit]

And this is coming from an idiot who has played FH2 on the 360 for 89 hours btw

sorry for wasting your time man

[frigid blade]

you didnt, was fun

[raw plover]

First of all true
Second of all, you clearly never played Lego games on couch co op with a sibling

[fringe prairie]

i find it funny that the people who made this ad used a pirated font

[bronze summit]

Yea because I'm playing kino called Ninja Gaiden 2 coop with my cousins

[solar moat]

yes

[frigid topaz]

now if youre into bmws you have that haha

[raw plover]

Play a lego game with them, its genuinely fun, me and my brother would stop mid levels and beat eachother up in game

[frail delta]

Snap in adapters
Just give me carplay :(

[elder quarry]

ummm which i7

[frigid blade]

isa glitch

4600U

[elder quarry]

Yes

Very glitchy indeed

[limber bane]

which of these sizes should I get

ptm7950 for my laptop, both cpu and gpu

[winter lantern]

Bro might be him

[frigid topaz]

either a 525d/i e60 or 325d/i e90

[alpine heron]

Open it and measure?

[frigid topaz]

@thorny saddle

[limber bane]

damn but that would take double the time, opening it twice

[alpine heron]

Easiest for you to answer the question that way since you have the laptop infront of you and we don't

[limber bane]

js asking for a rough estimate

[alpine heron]

And laptop cooling solutions are bespoke

So can't really estimate welll

And impossible to estimate without any clue what laptop

[limber bane]

true

[limber bane]

Lenovo LOQ ryzen 7 7435hs rtx 4070

[alpine heron]

Popping off that bottom will take less time than trying to figure out an aproximation

[thorny saddle]

would recommend an E90 over an E60

[limber bane]

alr ima js do that then

thanks for the inputs

[alpine heron]

If you still insiste on approximating find an image of the laptop with the bottom removed and messure that image vs a known size such as the width of the laptop to get your scale and then figure out how much you need

Where can ya get legitimate ptm7950 by the way? I seem to have used up all mine

[hollow creek]

can always buy the biggest and cut to size

but the problem with phase change paste is at room temps its the jellyest shit to work with

[frigid blade]

Nah I dont do it that way anymore

i dont like the app

[frigid blade]

I enjoy the app since i dont have to search anything

[winter lantern]

Womp womp

[sinful cobalt]

sry i cooked it , too hard in fact it was black as hell

[solar moat]

you need to download this to get the app

[winter lantern]

Mb doesn't recognize it so I'm just assuming its broke

[solar moat]

i think my igpu might be on par with that gpu

[frigid blade]

ATT sucks

[winter lantern]

I hope they've caught up

[frigid blade]

I still cant believe theyre forcing to pay this much when you can get 10 gig in utah for like less than half the price

the price difference between areas is crazy

ok my 12 year old igpu slighty slower

Hello, what's the purpose of choosing different versions and playing 60 bucks more when you can upgrade windows versions easily? https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Touchscreen-Graphics-Keyboard-Fingerprint/dp/B0DB27N41G

Upgrade windows versions?
Also, the main difference is usually specs, but sometimes something minimal, like a more rigid case

[frigid blade]

you can always upgrade windows for free

[elder quarry]

It's just so you can upgrade at point of sale. sometimes the price difference includes hardware spec changes too. That said, I'm suspect that third party seller isn't using legit Windows licenses. 👀

[winter lantern]

I like how windows is officially free

Like you can just get it from their site

[frigid blade]

You can download it for free, however, using it requires a legitimately purchased license.

[tidal geyser]

First i would try and reinstall windows

[worldly mason]

was literally waiting for that fcker to die just to swap a car battery on it

[finite aurora]

Just turned my 2 month old pc on smell something smoking and find this…

[worldly mason]

hazardous gosh darn yeah can cause a fire maybe works hell yeah

[tidal geyser]

One of your usb 3.0 front panel ports is no more

[rigid fjord]

yes

[worldly mason]

thats a blown capacitor or something buddy

[tidal geyser]

Does not really look like it was a cap

But meh

[worldly mason]

might be a mem bus idk bout that sht but better off swapping that psu of yours and that mobo for safety

just keep it unplug for the meantime

[rigid fjord]

microsoft: "you have to pay to properly use our software"
also microsoft: "here's the documentation on how activation works with some free keys, and how to make your own activation server so you don't have to pay us for activating our software"

hope your cpu n gpus are fine those two are the most expensive part

[worldly mason]

wait no sht really you can activate in without a license

Yea Ik, haven’t been inside it since I built it

if you start reading through their documentation you'd find it

i can't directly say how to do it here

So i got the error 0xc000021a code after doing an update. The problem is that I can’t use a restore point or command prompt. Since the password that i enter in repair mode is “incorrect”. The only reason I’m trying to fix this and not just clean install is that I have a lot of pictures on my disk that I don’t want to lose. It’s like 3 years worth of my photography hobby. Would it work if I bought another ssd and installed windows and that and booted or is the only option left to clean install?

[tidal geyser]

You don't need to boot the drive to get the data off it

Also data you haven't backed up you might as well delete now

get a new ssd, install windows, use old drive as an external and hope that your data is recoverable :|

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-am-i-reading-what-am-i-reading-linus-tech-tips-linus-ltt-gif-25129292

[wide tapir]

Hetzner, the cloud provider

I've heard a lot that they are pretty ban happy

But I haven't experienced anything like that

[sinful cobalt]

cop or na (retail $2400 SGD, MSRP models are at $1700)

[tidal geyser]

why what

[wide tapir]

As in, they terminate your account out of the blue

And sometimes don't let you create one at all

[tidal geyser]

never heard of that

[wide tapir]

I've seen a lot of people on Reddit talking about it

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine its more about people hosting seeding servers or some shit

[wide tapir]

Could be

Just wanted to see if anyone had a similar experience

[proper gull]

People complaining on reddit about being banned from anything were definitely 100% violating the terms of service

[wide tapir]

It never hurts to verify

[proper gull]

It never hurts to do some critical thinking... Or to ask questions properly instead of just talking into the void of a random tech channel and hoping anyone has a clue about what you're saying

[mint umbra]

Are the Lenovo yoga 7i laptops good

[wide tapir]

If someone had a negative experience, they would probably speak up

It doesn't matter that much

[empty quartz]

I cant wait for my cpu’s to arrive

I also need to get the other drive sleds printed

[wide tapir]

Make sure to check that it's the right CPU

[mint umbra]

Does Intel or AMD have more efficient laptop cpus

[empty quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/thanks-obvious-captain-thankscaptainobvious-gif-18783644

[wide tapir]

Amazon is notorious for return fraud, and others probably have similar issues

[wide tapir]

Common knowledge isn't as common as it once was

You'd be surprised

[mint umbra]

Return fraud ? isn't Amazon returns usually no questions asked kinda deal

[wide tapir]

Yes, return fraud in the sense that someone swaps the CPU in the box with a cheaper one and returns it

And then Amazon resells it and accidentally scams the next buyer

[wide tapir]

They have comparable efficiency. If you really want highly-efficient CPUs, you should consider ARM

It has its downsides, especially with compatibility

[mint umbra]

I won't go to arm since some apps have compatibility issues

Need to fix that issue

[wide tapir]

But all my servers are on ARM and I am yet to encounter issues

[wide tapir]

That's not something ARM can fix. An app just needs to be compiled for it

There are compatibility layers, but that introduces latency

And would be less power efficient than just running x86 natively

[mint umbra]

Plus dunno how long these arm laptops would last before slowing down vs a standard Intel or Windows system

Since they are pretty new

[empty quartz]

:3

[wide tapir]

ARM is anything but new

[wide tapir]

It has been used in embedded systems for years

Also your phone is running on ARM

[mint umbra]

Well my phone doesn't have many things I need it to do

And still ain't very efficient

[empty quartz]

Yes and no

If its an iphone, its based on arm, but not really arm

[mint umbra]

I have android

[wide tapir]

Apple Silicone is ARM, no?

[empty quartz]

Based on arm*

[wide tapir]

That's like saying Intel Core is based on x86

It utilizes that architecture

[empty quartz]

Intel created x86 though

[wide tapir]

Replace Intel with AMD then

Or any other manufacturer

[empty quartz]

Amd copied intel

[wide tapir]

ARM is a standard, and Apple Silicone is compliant with it

So is Google Tensor

And Snapdragon

And Qualcomm

[empty quartz]

K

[high elm]

x86 was licensed to AMD and some other companies like centaur

[mint umbra]

I thought snap dragon was Qualcomm

[empty quartz]

You do realize that amd started out because they reverse engineered an intel cpu right?

[wide tapir]

It is

Just separated them out for clarity

[empty quartz]

I need to get some 32gb dimms

[empty quartz]

However, even for ddr3; its still over $500 for 256gb

[wide tapir]

For example, on my Pixel 7 Pro, almost every processing unit is ARM, with the exception of the secure element which is RISC-V

i always regret

nvm 2tb

I’d suggest getting the cheapest nvme from used local market

And practice with that

why not mine?

you mean the nand chips off of them

[empty quartz]

NZ is better than Aus

[high garden]

wow, that's genuinely surprising and kinda impressive

[frail delta]

Stay delulu

[swift moss]

It's good if you have money 😂

[swift moss]

Fr, so many leave for better jobs

In terms of nature and Wildlife NZ is miles ahead though

[supple ivy]

I mean let's be real, am I going to leave NZ once I've finished uni and head to Aus, yeah, probably. But like, NZ is okay.

[frail delta]

I did it 🎉

(I restored a backup)

[empty moon]

hi

[swift moss]

Job opportunities in NZ are okay

[lament marsh]

How to I get data without booting?

[swift moss]

Not for tech though really

Mostly tradies and finance

[proper gull]

What job opportunities? Economy is fucked right now

[supple ivy]

It's not that there aren't many job opportunities but more about how much more you get paid over there. I mean sure the cost of living isn't great in aus either, but man do y'all get paid more.

[mellow cairn]

stick it in any other computer

or boot from usb

[craggy cove]

buy or nah

[proper gull]

A 4770 with a 2080 super? What crackhead built this

[craggy cove]

yeah i was just confused when i saw this

and they know enough to price it appropriately (?)

[swift moss]

That is true

[proper gull]

Also a Windows version from 2020

Do not buy this, unless you just want the GPU (is 240 euros even a good price for a 2080 super? Idk)

[swift moss]

Afaik my parents salary ranges from around 200-300k NZD as C suite workers, which is comparatibely SHIT to what they could be earning in AUS

And Ik a friend who moved to aus and makes around 250k AUD as a software dev

Not a high level or anything

[craggy cove]

yeah a 2080 super from a 2060 super wouldnt even be that much of an upgrade

[proper gull]

Installed in February... What in the fuck

[craggy cove]

and im cpu bottlenecked with my 5600 in cs2

[true stirrup]

Basically the only value in thee is the GPU and that isn't worth 240€

[craggy cove]

my fb marketplace has some crackhead stuff

i still remember my 1050 ti + 660ti pc i bought

[empty moon]

get the gpu

if he agrees to sell it by parts

[craggy cove]

130€ 🔥

[craggy cove]

i asked and he said nah

[empty moon]

holy cable

[craggy cove]

idk why he made this pc even

[craggy cove]

i5-9600k, 1050ti AND 660ti, 1tb hdd. got it for cheap cause "it was running slow" (cause of the hdd probably)

[empty moon]

wow

[craggy cove]

that aio radiator fell off right when i opened the case btw

[empty moon]

what do u use the other gpu for?

[craggy cove]

no clue

[empty moon]

specifically the 660ti

[supple ivy]

I'm going into teaching, I'll be starting on around $55k in NZ, if I were to teach in AUS would be around $92k, and it's also dependant on state.

[craggy cove]

sold em

i bought this cause i didnt have a pc but i found a ryzen combo 2 weeks later

[empty moon]

oh, yeah for sure cant see a sdd on it

[craggy cove]

only part of this i kept is the 11 year old corsair psu

[swift moss]

Teachers get so underpaid in nz

It's sad

[empty moon]

yeah thats a good choice + its 600w

what pc did u find ?

[craggy cove]

ryzen 5 5600 + 2060 super now

[craggy cove]

suboptimal to have psus over 10 years old, but it works ig

[empty moon]

wow, good find bro

ryzen 5 5600 is like the best budget cpu for me

[craggy cove]

100€ for the psu, 75€ for the 5600 (new from aliexpress), 50€ for b450 and 16gb ram

[empty moon]

i mean i have a intel but i wish to get a amd cpu in the future

[wild stump]

how long does it generaly take for someone to anser you in #1027757333117415424

[craggy cove]

yeah im maybe going 7500f in the future

[empty moon]

the gpu?

[craggy cove]

if i find an am5 motherboard for a good price

[empty moon]

may i ask why?

[craggy cove]

oops 100€ for gpu

[empty moon]

i think thats a downgrade

[craggy cove]

its just a really good value cpu

[empty moon]

oh

[craggy cove]

7500f is 7600 without igpu, its like a 20% upgrade

[empty moon]

so like, pretty much costs about like 300 dollars?

the whole thing

or no?

[craggy cove]

100€ + 75€ + 50€ + 30€ case

4000d airflow used

so 255€

psu i count as free cause i sold that old pc for profit

oh 20€ phantom spirit 120se so 275€

thing is i had to wait like weeks between getting each of these parts

otherwise you dont get things this cheap

[cursive storm]

is it normal for brand new ssds to take a while to update

its been like that for a good 13 minutes now

[tidal geyser]

go windows 11

[cursive storm]

no

[tidal geyser]

yes

[cursive storm]

no

[wicked spruce]

yes

[tidal geyser]

too bad in 5 months

[abstract wigeon]

its hardly any worse than win10 anyways

[tidal geyser]

and its made to work best with modern hardware

[abstract wigeon]

if you meet the requirements that is

or just rufus it

[tidal geyser]

[winter lantern]

Should I buy a 120$ 420mm aio

[winter lantern]

My dog would not take ts personally

[winter lantern]

That's lowkey skill issue

This gpu supports windows 11

[tidal geyser]

no

[winter lantern]

Actually windows is a cpu thing right

[tidal geyser]

all pcie gpus support windows 11

[abstract wigeon]

tmp, older cpu

[winter lantern]

Rate my specs

(There's no gpu showing that's the joke)

[tidal geyser]

is this that 13900kf and 4090 pc

[winter lantern]

Yes but no 4090

So the 4090 is cooked

Cause everything works besides it

[eternal palm]

Function over form ahhh moment

[tidal geyser]

high end

[winter lantern]

Rate the bottlenexk

It still uses catalyst 💀

[sinful cobalt]

sorry i cooked it

[viscid helm]

which of these is Mandarin?

[tidal geyser]

could send it for repair

[winter lantern]

It does have a warranty but I don't have the persons phone so idk

There are a few old phones tho

So maybe they left their email on it

[tidal geyser]

you still do have the chat on fbm

[winter lantern]

The seller wasn't the one who bought it

Their ex was...

[tidal geyser]

welp get it repaired then

[winter lantern]

I didnt delete any of these

Aint this illegal

[tidal geyser]

only if you look at the info

well really only if you share or sell it or use it for bad stuff

[winter lantern]

I mean i can't really do anything besides browse with this gpu...

[solar moat]

as long as its not

[winter lantern]

You know how the pc stopped working
That means no factory reset

So it just has tons of stuff on it

[tidal geyser]

make it not that

[winter lantern]

I just wanted to see what the prev owner looked like

[steel umbra]

How do you bend an ssd like this

[tidal geyser]

well by doing that

[sinful cobalt]

goddamn the ssd has scoliosis'

[thorn pewter]

It would've been more lombardic if it was that lol

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/adam-scott-parks-and-rec-parks-and-recreation-ben-wyatt-hidden-talent-gif-21228864

[thorn pewter]

If ya get you're handa on some very cheap Chinese ssds, its easy to make them bend without breaking them and fixiating them to bend with almost no issues
