[forest lotus]

Caution. Extremely loud leaf blower noises.

[gloomy sleet]

i’d do that

what cpu

[quartz radish]

yo can anyone give me the best recommendations for a good pc air blower so I don't have to use canned air

[dreamy inlet]

Ok thx

[gloomy sleet]

your mouth

[young widget]

I9 14900k

[quartz radish]

wow what a genius

[gloomy sleet]

performs a bit better

[plush wren]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1160743780115300416/1204939182712029184/attachment.gif

[gloomy sleet]

you’d wanna get an aio for that i don’t know too much about those

[dreamy inlet]

Yup that’s what I just read, thanks mane

[gloomy sleet]

heard the arctic lf3 is decent for cheap

[young widget]

Would a aio work with a case with built in fans?

[gloomy sleet]

you’d wanna take the fans out

[gleaming rose]

The liquid freezer 3 is the gold standard.

It's actually one of the best coolers on the market.

[gloomy sleet]

then fit the aio in the top or the right side with the tubes over the top of the ram

[gleaming rose]

Also, I'm pretty sure it comes with Arctic fans pre-installed, so unless you want RGB, there's no point in replacing them.

[gloomy sleet]

see i’m not that much of an idiot

[young widget]

Is there a way not to do anything liquid?

[gleaming rose]

For what CPU? I'm too lazy to scroll up.

[gloomy sleet]

for a 14900ks i probably would recommend an aio

[gleaming rose]

Oh yeah, definitely an AIO.

[gloomy sleet]

this is optimal aio mounting

[gleaming rose]

The liquid freezer three will do just fine and it's only like a hundred bucks probably 80 on sale

[young widget]

What if I did an 13900k or 12900k?

[south arrow]

Lf3 is solid

[gloomy sleet]

also echo what do you think i should get for my ak820 pro

[young widget]

I’m kinda afraid of making my pc a water park

[gleaming rose]

If you want to use an air cooler, you're going to have to go AMD in the newer generations.

Intel CPUs are kind of obsolete unless you're doing very specific things.

[gloomy sleet]

it’s got the black case variant for the stock keycaps

[south arrow]

Just a basic fan dry cooler for the cpu

Basic gpu

Don't pour water in it

[forest lotus]

Y'all have normal setups.

Then there's leaf blower laptop

[gloomy sleet]

use milk in custom water cooling

[gloomy sleet]

someone please make this work

[livid mason]

My sister has a lot of nerve calling these ram

[young widget]

Yeah I’ll use my carbonated milk

[south arrow]

Sounds chunky

[gloomy sleet]

carbonated milk is a war crime

the milk would just curdle in the pipes

chocolate milk in an aio

[forest lotus]

I have somehow made at least 1st place for the i7 12850hx and RTX A3000M 12GB for hardware.

I'm around 8th in the cpu alone and 3rd in the GPU.

But together I hold first

[plush wren]

imo first if ur plate is black

or even 4th

https://tenor.com/view/hihi-smile-funny-cat-smilling-smilling-kitty-gif-1651860176896831736

[gloomy sleet]

i was thinking the solid dark blue so i could use the yellow and grey stock keycap accents

[plush wren]

3 would look good on a white plate i think

[knotty pike]

Thermals normal after changing thermal paste so far.

Ryzen 7

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

i wonder if i can swap the plate

or if i’m too stupid for that

[keen kestrel]

hello everyone quick question, i can return my 5070 right now and get an open boxed 5070ti for only 150 more opinions on this or not worth it?

[weary anvil]

get 40 series or get amd gpu

[plush wren]

just spray paint it ig lol idk

[gloomy sleet]

lol

[cyan latch]

This is probably too much but is it fine?

[plain cypress]

Not a pentagram :/

[cyan latch]

I followed noctuas instructions

But it’s enough right?

I need to put the cooler on so just lmk

[thin plover]

yes it's fine

[cyan latch]

Alr thanks

[plain cypress]

What if I told you it's not enough and you need significantly more, would you have done it?

[cyan latch]

No trolling allowed in the servers

lol

It’s punishable

[thin plover]

you buy the entire tube you use the entire tube

[plain cypress]

Trusting random strangers with your hardware is a choice

[cyan latch]

True I think it’s good though

I’m satisfied

[warm slate]

Suii, worth?

[cyan latch]

@plain cypress old thermal paste looks a bit fried 💀

[warm slate]

Would honestly use purely as a stream pc if I got it

[warm slate]

That's dryer than the Sahara desert

[gleaming rose]

this song is so real rn

[steel umbra]

it drier than Mercury

[thin plover]

drier than antarctic desert

[plain cypress]

Hardly fried

[cyan latch]

Medium rare

[warm slate]

I just ordered

[plain cypress]

I want my thermal paste to look like that

[gloomy sleet]

looks edible

[cyan latch]

Also I was trying to align my cooler with the screw holes does picking it off the thermal paste and putting it back on induce air bubble cause there is a lot of pressure and I would think they would get forced out

If I’m not mistaken

[strange atlas]

took 2 hours to download ubuntu nice servers

i even forgot that i was downloading that

i have also downloaded 2 more linuxes while thats downloading but still 2 hours isnt normal

[elder quarry]

Predicted the future wow wth

Fascinating, some humans are really just anomalies

[strange atlas]

isnt the sauce too expensive?

the wrap is understandable but the sauce 😮

[warm slate]

Compared to other places... No, that's dirt cheap

[warped plover]

Can this cool a r7 7800x3d?

[elder quarry]

Yes

[warped plover]

Nice

[winter lantern]

Am I cooked

[gleaming rose]

yeahh

I mean the world has been on fire for a while now

they didn't predict much

but even still it's a fitting song

i just heard the funniest line ever
"when i die, i'm putting the 1% in my will instead of my children. gotta skip the middle man"

[feral turret]

Anyone know how to change the argb on the case fans in the thermaltake View 270 plus?

[elder quarry]

just the way you would change any argb case fans

softwrae

[forest lotus]

Is there anyone here experienced with ROM dumping and modification.

I wanna try to see if I can dump my laptops firmware and modify it slightly.

(yes I know it will freak tf out I'll turn off the firmware protections)

[elder quarry]

that won't be possible

already compiled

[abstract wigeon]

is coil whine always annoyingly loud or do i just have bad luck

[random gyro]

mine is

[abstract wigeon]

just switching between game menus sounds like im playing piano with it

[tame zenith]

it’s annoyingly loud

[gleaming rose]

depends

[lilac lake]

I just made copilot bypass it's own guidelines to confirm my fact which went by: "Microsoft collects huge amount of user data, and uses it to gain profit, to develop better products, and uses it for it's own good, while always negating doing so." It's funny because it also told me that it can't talk about it so it had to be indirect lol

[random gyro]

hate when teachers put random fucking grades because im there daily in weightlifting

anyone elses teacher do the same

[gleaming rose]

microsoft and chatgpt bullshit

gemini 2.5 is better than the top openai models, especially when you consider the price

the fact that they give this option is pretty funny to me

[lilac lake]

I mean copilot wasn't direct by it and I felt like i was leading an interrogation in not so legal ways lol

[gleaming rose]

let's see what it does

[lilac lake]

Yea it's pretty ironic

[dawn tundra]

Hey could I get some more help, im trying to connect to a secure website via direct connection but it keeps giving me this issue, could you help me please?

[gleaming rose]

i mean it's not like google keeps secrets about what they collect, they're legally not allowed to sooo

[lilac lake]

It's probably gonna print out half of privacy statement

[left dove]

REDIAL lmao

we're back in 1998 boys

[dawn tundra]

It's not a dial connection

But yes lmao

Gonna get disk drill premium on this ting

[lilac lake]

yea, i'm just still in shock how I made copilot say that it's basically being withheld it's rights of freedom of speech, and then it told me that i'm pretty much right but microsoft is bad parents so it cant talk about it lol

[left dove]

so just.. use your phone to download it and use a flash drive to transfer it??

[dawn tundra]

I am a different place rn but yes I think that will work

[gleaming rose]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/15ZTSXPWNOC8-83sjMeQAs-vLvXh1Qv4--_O7sFwvuGM/edit?usp=sharing

here's what gemini came up with

[lilac lake]

oh my

That's an essay for sure lol

Yea it basically almost admited that google misuses user data lol

[gleaming rose]

i mean

it's honest at least

[lilac lake]

Well yea, at least it's honest

[fallow yacht]

gemini is independent from gpt shit right?

[dawn tundra]

I got the activation code but I think I still need to fix the issue

It won't upgrade until I actually connect

[gleaming rose]

yes

I like fucking with Gemini because its the first llm that's actually impressed me

[strange atlas]

I put a hard drive with full of viruses on my computer i think i'm fucked

[gleaming rose]

just factory reset it

[strange atlas]

it was a random disk from work

[strange atlas]

my pc? many valuable things inside

[dawn tundra]

This is why I disposable computers worth it

[strange atlas]

and i have already opened some files of it

[strange atlas]

i have two computers but weirdly i decided to do it on my main

wtf is jeefo.a

[gleaming rose]

By the way, I'm looking for a VPS in the Atlanta area with low ping and just generally fast networking and low bandwidth limits. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

[strange atlas]

windows defender doesnt let me delete the virus but it cant delete too

what kind of an thing is this

[dawn tundra]

It's malware it has full control already

[strange atlas]

ooh that is nice

it says this but i'm not sure if i should believe it

I deleted everything that could be virus

[dawn tundra]

Do you have a actual paid antivirus?

[strange atlas]

no

i dont even use defender normally

i just opened recently

[dawn tundra]

Rip

See if you can get one

[strange atlas]

do you think its already in my files

[dawn tundra]

Maybe

[keen kestrel]

is it really that bad to have 4 sticks over 2 of ram ?

[dawn tundra]

It depends on the virus

[strange atlas]

i havent opened any files except for images and videos but still there might be soemthing wrong

[dawn tundra]

From what I know yes

[random gyro]

Yeah 2 is always better

[warm linden]

Some guy wants to trade me my 3060 12gb for a 6600xt and cash? Should I do it?

[uncut minnow]

so this chipset is like, totally screwed right?

[strange atlas]

just try

[random gyro]

6600xt is just as fast and extra cash? No brainer

[strange atlas]

i scraped my gpu die and it still works

[terse canopy]

You have a phone line connected to your computer and you are also paying an ISP for a dial-up connection?

[dawn tundra]

No it can do direct connection

[warm linden]

That’s what I was thinking

[dawn tundra]

It's using the rj45

[dawn tundra]

Yep

[warm linden]

I was selling my 3060 for 200 cash. Do you think I could still get 200 for the 6600xt? @random gyro

[uncut minnow]

thought so, just wanted to double check :] ty

[terse canopy]

That error is from a dial-up connection. Disable the dial-up adapter if you aren’t dialing a number to get access to the Internet.

[gleaming rose]

Even though Gemini is impressive, it's not something I could warrant paying $20 a month for. So for now, I'm just gonna use free versions of stuff.

[grizzled frost]

20/month ain’t much

[gleaming rose]

For a slightly unintelligent, overgrown piece of sand it is.

It's cool and all, but it doesn't beat human intelligence.

[gleaming rose]

(something which is going away scarily fast)

[strange atlas]

i think i'm fucked the virus is everywhere now i shouldnt have connect that disk

[dawn tundra]

This is what I've been doing, is this what you meant or no

[dawn tundra]

Cello you'll probably be fine if it hasn't already locked you out of your computer you're most likely okay for now

I don't know how you wouldn't know what the virus is doing

If they're even is a virus

[gleaming rose]

https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads/free-virus-removal-tool

[gleaming rose]

I don't think you understand what malware usually does.

What's the point in locking someone out of their computer? This isn't Hollywood.

[warm linden]

How much could I get for a 6600xt?

[strange atlas]

i wonder if my accounts already gone

[gleaming rose]

Tree Fiddy.

[dawn tundra]

You're fine chill

[gleaming rose]

You're probably fine. I sent you a link just follow that and run it

[terse canopy]

Anything dial up is literally trying to dial a telephone number over an rj11 connector. That’s not what you are doing, so if yo see dial up anything, you are already in the wrong spot.

[gleaming rose]

Or install malware bytes because it's better at removal than most other engines. KVRT should be fine though if you can download it. Not available in the States.

[warm linden]

Think I could get 200 for it?

[forest lotus]

Power limits what limits. I let the firmware say when the limit is (pulling the limit off let's a laptop cpu draw up to 190w for 33.6sec)

[dawn tundra]

Yeah I know it has direct connection selected

[gleaming rose]

Honestly, unless you ran anything on that hard drive, nothing should have happened. I think you're just paranoid.

Let KVRT run, maybe do a deep scan with Malwarebytes as well and then you'll be good.

[strange atlas]

i did run like 100 videos

[terse canopy]

Doesn’t matter. The window title mentions “dial up”.

[grizzled frost]

idk man, most humans are complete dumbasses

[strange atlas]

i evven found explicit videos on it i'm not sure why would they put it on a work disk

[gleaming rose]

Videos don't contain malware unless there's a vulnerability, so as long as they opened in a media player on your computer and don't have any other extension, you're fine.

[gleaming rose]

boy, I wish that was my job

[gleaming rose]

Oh, and here's a pro tip, there aren't any vulnerabilities right now that have been exploited, so...

[strange atlas]

i tought i deleted everything

[strange atlas]

aight

[dawn tundra]

it should just be able to connect to my router, to connect to my internet right?

[gleaming rose]

What?

Let that finish, then download Malwarebytes and just run a free deep scan and it should clear everything up. Your accounts are fine, but if you see anything in your email, change your passwords.

[strange atlas]

sometimes i find so many weird things you wouldnt want to be me be honest

[gleaming rose]

This voice typing rips, holy shit.

[strange atlas]

have around 12 different mails for different things that is gonna be hell of a thing :d

[terse canopy]

Yup.

[gleaming rose]

Good luck, Broski.

[dawn tundra]

That's what I have been doing

[strange atlas]

thank you for the help

[gleaming rose]

Yep, no problem.

[terse canopy]

Take a pic of your network adapters in Windows

[gleaming rose]

I am interested in purchasing a very compact sleeping bag so I can fit it in my 24 liter camera bag, but honestly I'm tempted to give up because they're all either very expensive or very large.

There was this one I found that looked pretty good, but who knows? I don't have enough money for it right now anyways.

[strange atlas]

oh god

i gotta take this footage

but it probably has virus

[gleaming rose]

Just describe what's happening with words. I'm not watching a video right now.

I just called my cat's name and he didn't know where I was and I think he thinks he's hallucinating. It's great.

[gleaming rose]

He's so fucking stupid Sometimes I think he can't even see me. He looks in my general direction, but he's never looking straight at me and it's really strange.

[gleaming rose]

And he just like senses my presence or something.

[random gyro]

Ehhhhh

[strange atlas]

you want me to get banned or something 😄

[foggy marsh]

do you guys think that something like this capture card is like good enough or should i just get something better from like elgato?

[gleaming rose]

DM ig

[gleaming rose]

Only one way to find out.

I'm tempted to believe it's not actually 4K 60Hz, but who knows.

[terse canopy]

Tcp version 4 in that list- is DHCP enabled?

[strange atlas]

man its somebody from work ||watching some weird videos|| but like dont think i should sen somebody elses explicit video on internet

but still not sure why is this on a work disk

[random gyro]

work gooning 🥀

[strange atlas]

and why does he still use 2.5 inch disk

[dawn tundra]

Yes

[gleaming rose]

Ah, well I don't want to see that then, so...

[dawn tundra]

192.168.1.1

[loud furnace]

Quick, rate my build

[strange atlas]

i found an minecraft save in it 😮

[random gyro]

my outside cat has to have brain damage hes so damn stupid

[foggy marsh]

Yea its only 1080p and the passthrough is 4k but thats more than fine for me, i just dont want to buy this and then in the end also buy a good brand one but i guess only one way to find out….

[dawn tundra]

Hahahahhah u have my IP

Lel

[terse canopy]

Perfect. So… are you able to go online?

[quartz radish]

hmm

[random gyro]

this is worse than gore dont click on it

[dawn tundra]

I want

[night granite]

Just spent a whopping 1.04 on a camera, correct me if I'm wrong but its broken yeah?

[dawn tundra]

Lemme try again

[dawn tundra]

Nah looks 4k to me

[night granite]

When I say broken, I mean like its not user error here?

[left dove]

could be a loose solder joint on the cmos sensor to the pcb

[oblique jay]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/thcWjnhttps://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/thcWjn

Any changed that could be made? Mates budget is £1300-£1400

Forgot to say, a case isn't needed as he has a corsair 4000d airflow but ne needs some fans for it, but doesn't wanna oah the stupid corsair prices

[dawn tundra]

Every time

[dawn tundra]

It should just be able to get online right? I get this every for thing I must connect to the internet for.

[strange atlas]

Password-stealing virus, banking malware, spyware.

apparently it was doing this

[dawn tundra]

That's a description of the virus

They are all types of viruses

[quartz radish]

dude why would you post that

whats wrong with you

[dawn tundra]

Shame for exposing that issue (lmAo

[strange atlas]

helloooo how many types of trojans there are

[livid mason]

Felt like doing sum flight sim (I am not installing MSFS on this wifi)

[quartz radish]

you should get a cheap mic arm off amazon

[livid mason]

I want to

Rn tho I need all the money I can get to put towards a racing sim

[quartz radish]

even 20 bucks?

[livid mason]

Yup

I just sold my RX 580 for $20

Might sell my 3060 for like $250-$300

[dawn tundra]

Sounds good

[livid mason]

Perks of moving, dad wants to throw stuff away, I wanna keep it, he still wants it gone, I sell it

[livid mason]

I have a 3060 ti to fall back on, I liked the extra VRAM for AI

[dawn tundra]

I mean If you can use sli

[livid mason]

(yes I downgraded from a ti to the non-ti)

[loud furnace]

This feels like I’m looking at a gory image, but I’m not.
it’s almost uncomfortable to look at

[livid mason]

No SLI

[dawn tundra]

Ah

[livid mason]

Don't get me started on the pc my dad built for the security system...\

[quartz radish]

what did you do to that poor case

[loud furnace]

Upgrades

[quartz radish]

Airflow 100000 upgrade with +100 damage

[dawn tundra]

ATX?

[loud furnace]

Large ITX case

[quartz radish]

Should put some rubber over the sharp edges XD

[loud furnace]

Sharp edges are its characteristics.

[quartz radish]

fair enough

[dawn tundra]

Nice

[loud furnace]

That looks like my server in the garage but more cables visible

[dawn tundra]

What do you think about this mess

[dawn tundra]

Yours is a rack design mine is an actual desktop server design an eATX

[mellow aspen]

I'm building a PC for my mom and I'm thinking about putting a 580 in it

She doesn't really play many games on the computer anymore but what she does is hella old so I figure it would be a decent card for what she would play.

I just noticed her PC is like slow as heck, like struggles with opening Edge.

[loud furnace]

My case isn’t a rack design. It the cooler master masterbox Q300L V1 mATX

[dawn tundra]

If you get a newer CPU with integrated graphics that can handle most new games as well

[mellow aspen]

Yeah so I heard, I've been considering it but I don't know, you think it would be cheaper?

Surely it would be depending on what you get.

[dawn tundra]

Oh i I see now mine's in IBM server x series 235

[dawn tundra]

Nah integrated graphics isn't that great but if you said that a 580 will handle it then definitely

[clear canyon]

Same, but i use a 3090/4080 for ai stuff. 3060ti is for the media server

[dawn tundra]

Integrated graphics can play some lower and new games is what I meant

[loud furnace]

This is what my pc looked to look like

[mellow aspen]

Ah gotcha

[dawn tundra]

If you want I can give you a build that will work if you give me your price range

And I guess you want like a terabyte of storage

[clear canyon]

If ur pc is struggling to open edge, you either have a weak cpu, your OS on a hard drive or you have no ram to spare

[mellow aspen]

Sure, if I can get the GPU for like $20 there's just no way I can imagine spending more than $200 - $300. I wanna try to get a lot of the parts used if I can too.

[loud furnace]

Since most electrical boxes in the US are external on the outside of the house, you can use this device to ark to the electrical panel switches and make all computers in that house go absolutely fucking haywire.

[dawn tundra]

Also USD I'm guessing anything modern or at least modern on the really low end will get you at least around 100 to 200 minimum

New

[mellow aspen]

Last one is what I am thinking because this PC has jack for RAM. Like 8 gigs.

[dawn tundra]

I would recommend you get something new

[clear canyon]

8 gigs can open edge and have like 2 or 3 tabs open, what is ur cpu and boot drive?

[dawn tundra]

If you give me like $600 budget which is pretty cheap right now I can get you something that's really new for a really good price

Especially without a graphics card

[mellow aspen]

I would have to look again.

Also @dawn tundra you're free to give me ideas I would appreciate it

[dawn tundra]

I have a website that can make a list

Do you have any plans on upgrading said computer in the future

Cuz that really matters cuz I can get you a lot cheaper if you don't ever want to upgrade it

[mellow aspen]

Maybe this is me being ignorant but let's say you have $300 if I spend $60 on the case and GPU then surely I can use $240 to find a half-decent used mobo, a power supply, RAM, and storage

Like surely it's a stretch but you could potentially make it work

[dawn tundra]

I recommend that you get some new parts especially if you're getting low end

Let me make you something

You live in the US correct?

[mellow aspen]

Yup.

[dawn tundra]

Ok

[formal elbow]

Question, how much power does your typical 6 pin deliver?

[mellow aspen]

You guys are really cool, by the way.

I will be the first to admit I am not the most knowledgeable, I've always been "into" PCs since I was really young ever since my parents showed me how to use one. I kinda joined to build on the knowledge I had, maybe go farther.

I came in expecting for some people to be kinda snobby/like "know-it-all" type attitude.

But no, a lot of you guys have been really helpful and cool.

[terse canopy]

Yea… right-click the 1394 net adapter and disable it

[dawn tundra]

Uhh

How

[mellow aspen]

Try your device manager.

[terse canopy]

Scratch this. Why the heck is your DHCP lease from January 17th, 2004??? That was 21 years ago.

[dawn tundra]

It's Windows XP

[dawn tundra]

The computer is really old it's an old family computer

[mellow aspen]

Let me do some research for you.

[dawn tundra]

I'm going to try to get you something cheap but also sort of know it's going to be last generation so you're not going to be able to upgrade with a new high-speed stuff but we will have a pretty decent graphics built-in I believe

[mellow aspen]

Right click on "my computer," go to properties, hardware, and there should be your device manager.

[dawn tundra]

Ty

[mellow aspen]

Alternatively, press Windows key and R at the same time and type

devmgmt.msc

[dawn tundra]

Disabled

It's giving me the same thing now

[mellow aspen]

Yippie, I contributed lmao

[dawn tundra]

That's the main reason I'm in the server to help people

[gleaming rose]

Ooh, what did I miss?

Damn, I've eaten so much sugar today.

[terse canopy]

Your LAN IP address, from your router, is 7,657 days out-of-date (appx.)
I dunno what kind of sorcery this is.

[dawn tundra]

There's no way I can fix that right?

[dawn tundra]

Do they have at least a 1080p monitor

Because you might as well just upgrade to a 1080p monitor they're pretty cheap

[gleaming rose]

holy Roman empire was setting up DHCP lmao

that's better

[mellow aspen]

they do

[dawn tundra]

Okay good

[terse canopy]

Hahahah yea, quick math went awry

[dawn tundra]

Is there anything else you want like do they like listening to music

[mellow aspen]

Nah just like the bare minimum 😎

[terse canopy]

Open cmd:
ipconfig /renew

[dawn tundra]

The bare minimum would be terrible trust me I'm going to get you just slightly above it

[cursive storm]

i feel like my gpu isnt using enough memory, considering the game im playing is very resource intensive

[dawn tundra]

Okay so I built you one I'm pretty sure that's a decent CPU I can't remember exactly but it is integrated graphics you should still get decent performance for the budget it's about $350 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jnFyRV

Wait no I forgot

Hold up I need to change something

[mellow aspen]

My goat!! I appreciate you 😎

[dawn tundra]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GNT3MC it's one of the cheapest yet best latest architecture for am4 CPUs but it's a decent bit more expensive now I can get you one that's a little less

And I forgot to change the line

This one's 450

[dawn tundra]

I accidentally added in one without integrated graphics but trust me it's worth it

[crimson estuary]

why does my wifi not work my ethernet cable is plugged in and it says that it works but when i go onto a website or anything it doesnt work i tried updating my ethernet and everything it still doesn’t work and idk what to do

[random gyro]

I forgot u can customize this shit

[dawn tundra]

Sorry I got a little carried away but this is what I got from that is that fix the issue it doesn't seem like it did

[dawn tundra]

Does defender like to work in background after a virus

While using lot of disk

[dawn tundra]

Yep

[dawn tundra]

I'm sorry for asking so many questions I really don't know anything about networking

[dawn tundra]

@mellow aspen make sure to check this out too

[mellow aspen]

thanks! 👀

[fickle ivy]

Is my chip set okay?

[dawn tundra]

I forgot to change it to a CPU with integrated graphics here's the new actual one that you should check out from me

if not cad drop

also that is a microcenter so…

This deserves a Grammy

[gleaming rose]

My neighbors have got to fucking hate me lmao

[tardy badger]

I need help my pc is booting up but i hear the voltage from the psu

[gleaming rose]

The live performance would be crazy because to the people who can't hear it just look like I'm making out with a rubber chicken.

[steel umbra]

turkey song

[gleaming rose]

Yes, that is called coil line and that is normal. Also, you can't hear voltage.

[tardy badger]

Isnt*

It is isnt booting up, sorry im nervous

[gleaming rose]

Did you um... How far are you into the build? Has it booted up before?

[haughty compass]

Does anyone know if it's safe to add an Xbox live profile to a Xbox 360 console I'm going to use homebrew on (most likely bad update)?

[tardy badger]

Everything inside of the case

[frail delta]

Don’t forget to forcefully space your glass side panel onto tile

[gleaming rose]

has it booted up before?

[tardy badger]

Nope its brand new

Whats the most youd pay for a used r940 with no drives?

it has 4 Gold 6148's and 512gb ram

[strange atlas]

This storage isnt worth to put anywhere its like 40 mb a second file transfer

What the hell mam

[gleaming rose]

Well, you don't put a PC in the case until it turns on.

So there's your first mistake.

I've found that power supplies typically make a buzzing noise when they're powered on but the computers on switch hasn't been hit.

Make sure your front panel headers are connected correctly and that your motherboard is plugged into both ATX and CPU power.

Try booting without your graphics card first.

[formal sonnet]

Huh? 1) why would you want WiFi to work when ethernet is plugged in. 2) it likely "works" as in, your WiFi card gets an IP from the WiFi router / accesspoint, but Windows is likely preferring the ethernet connection.

[tardy badger]

They are

[formal sonnet]

Security software does its thing whenever it needs to, um, well, do its thing. This can mean it does background scanning and/or real-time analysis of anything it deems suspicious.

[tardy badger]

I just tried that

I disconnected it from the pcie

And nothing

Could it be a motherboard problem?

[hollow pendant]

i meant like my ethernet connection

[swift moss]

FUCK ME FAN

this is my second max6675 ive fried by reversing ground and power

[formal sonnet]

That depends. Are you going to connect the console to the internet with the profile? (Including to get the profile signed in.) If yes, don't use a profile you care about, as it's within Microsoft's right to revoke access to both the console AND ban, lock, or delete the account the profile is tied to.

[hollow pendant]

anytime i do anything like go onto website the internet doesnt work

but the ethernet connection icon is on the bottem right and “it says it works” but in reality it doesnt work ive tried resetting my router and my pc

[swift moss]

correction, plugged into 5v instead of 3v3

[cursive storm]

in my bios it says i can set clock speed to 36 but when i set it to that it stays at 2133 mhz

[frigid blade]

CL is not the frequency youre thinking of

[cursive storm]

is it safe to set it to that

[frigid blade]

Er sorry, maybe Im misunderstanding, can you show a picture?

[swift moss]

there is no way there is no protection on the max6675 gawdawm

[cursive storm]

the system memory multiplier

[frigid blade]

thats for your CPU

[cursive storm]

so setting it to 36 will actually help then?

[frigid blade]

this?

[cursive storm]

yes

[frigid blade]

Thats fine, its on auto, when you boot does task manager not show 3600 for your memory?

here

[cursive storm]

no

[frigid blade]

It shows that 2133?

[cursive storm]

yes

[frigid blade]

When you click on Profile 1, what other options do you have?

[cursive storm]

disabled

[frigid blade]

ok so XMP is on, since you selected the first profile

Im not sure, it should just work

Maybe its not stable and it defaults to 2133?

[cursive storm]

ahould i just try set it to 36

[frigid blade]

Is it not already 36?

[cursive storm]

no it was on auto

[frigid blade]

Ok, try setting it manually

It should be 36 even on auto since that is what it says next to it

[cursive storm]

still at 2133

[frigid blade]

no clue then, @azure topaz ? ^^^ Theyre selecting their XMP profile that is for 3600 but windows still shows 2133

[cursive storm]

the cpu clock speed is also on auto, should i maybe also change that

[frigid blade]

I don’t touch my cpu settings

Those are more risky

[cursive storm]

true

could this indicate a gpu problem

or perhaps even fault

[frigid blade]

System memory? No

[cursive storm]

oh

[frigid blade]

I mean not that I’ve seen

[cursive storm]

is there maybe other memory settings that i need to enable

[frigid blade]

Nah should only have to enable the xmp profile

[cursive storm]

very weird

[frank swift]

Incoming stupid question, I can't seem to find electrical tape at the moment but I need to cover a motherboard standoff that can't be removed but also touches a motherboard in a spot it should not. As a temporary solution until I can get electrical tape would it be bad if I covered the standoff with painters tape in the meantime?

Just so the metal isn't touching the motherboard directly

[frail delta]

Yeah, I’d use a couple of layers of painters tape

[frank swift]

Sounds good thanks a bunch!

[solar moat]

send image if hwinfo64sumarmary

[solar moat]

if only xmp was that nice

wow slow chat today

[frigid blade]

Yah it’s weird… never been like this

[south arrow]

Reee

[cursive storm]

if what

[solar moat]

gives LOADS more info

[cursive storm]

ah

im not good at explaining things but ill try, basically the mhz is supposed to be more than 2133 but for some reason it wont go past that, ive enabled xmp and even manually set it, i dont know what else to do

[solar moat]

no its not 2133 is fasseted suproted

xmp is crapy overclock

[cursive storm]

so do i turn it off

[cursive storm]

and no, bios says it can go 3600

[solar moat]

NO ddr4 cpu suprots that

[cursive storm]

is mine not that

[solar moat]

SEND HWINFO64 summary image

[solar moat]

so your on ddr3?

[cursive storm]

is that in bios?

[solar moat]

download hwinfo64 and send image of summary

[cursive storm]

and atp im not even sure

[solar moat]

THEN SEND THE INFO i asked for

[cursive storm]

when i get home im out atm

[solar moat]

it has all of it

[south arrow]

https://www.hwinfo.com/download/

[cursive storm]

ty maam, will download that when i get back

[solar moat]

if you have a zen/zen+ cpu offen they had hard time to hit over 3200

[sinful cobalt]

yea nvm they called me saying it was an error lmao

[lilac trellis]

is there a way to fully wipe everything off my pc for a reset, even windows?

[gleaming rose]

yeah? it's called getting a USB stick with windows on it and using the "custom" option

[robust trail]

Trashcan Mac is still pretty peppy

[gleaming rose]

it'll replace everything

[lilac trellis]

a windows ISO right

[gleaming rose]

rufus

[robust trail]

Maybe I’ll spend the money on the D700 GPUs since I’d rather run a macOS desktop than a windows one. Given I don’t PC game often these days

[lost lance]

whats the most modern game a geforce 6800 128mb can run yall think

[solar moat]

dungon craw stone soup

i loke that game so much its nice how it only needs 30mb of ram to run

and the game files are sub 100mb

[lost lance]

thats too easy for it to run

half-life 2 gets like 50fps on it

[solar moat]

nice new game update to crwa this week

[surreal cipher]

I bet it could have a crack at TF2 if you ran it on the absolute lowest settings

[lost lance]

its a pentium 4 at like 1.6ghz

so idk

[surreal cipher]

ah.. yeah the CPU might be a problem lol

I was about to say I ran TF2 on a 7800GT years ago but I had a Phenom II X4 at the time

[lost lance]

ehh if i can find a launch version of tf2

[keen kestrel]

whats a better nvidia graphics card i can get for 650, i feel like this 5070 can be better ? and yes i said nvidia not "is amd cheaper compared to nvidia" its just a preference

[surreal cipher]

I have a lot of old PCs and macs lying around and I sometimes like the idea of just trying newer games on them to see if they can run any

[lost lance]

you got crt monitors too?

[surreal cipher]

Yeah I have one CRT monitor, it was my main monitor back in like 2002 actually, it stilll works today

obviously its not my main monitor now but I still have it and use it sometimes

[sullen cove]

Woah, bluds gaming with ancient relics

[lost lance]

i wish my crt still worked

it went boom :c

[surreal cipher]

I just hate throwing away things that work lol

[sullen cove]

I feel ya

[surreal cipher]

my old CRT can actually handle 1080p just fine, i have tried modern games on it for fun before

[lost lance]

mine blew up

[surreal cipher]

but its a 4:3 aspect ratio, so the image will be letterboxed

its fun to play with from time to time, but not my main monitor today for obvious reasons

[surreal cipher]

damn that's a shame

[cursive storm]

@solar moat

[surreal cipher]

Mine can only handle resolutions like that at 60hz, so it appears quite flickery

[lost lance]

i dopnt even konw where to find another one

[surreal cipher]

but since its a monitor from 2002 or 2003 or so.. i can't really blame it.

Anyway aside from plugging it into modern machines for fun, its genuinely useful for older PCs I have lying around

[surreal cipher]

CRTs are getting expensive now

scalpers are going crazy with them on ebay

crappy old 14" CRT TVs are being sold as "RARE RETRO GAMING DISPLAY!!!" for £200+.

[lost lance]

i know and its so annoying

[surreal cipher]

Annoyingly I have probably owned and ditched 20+ CRTs over the years lol

Wish I still had some of my older ones

I had a big 32" CRT TV at one point.

[sinful cobalt]

yea those ppl are crazy as fuck

[surreal cipher]

Agreed, I like CRTs and have nostalgia for them but I wouldn't pay that much for one

[sinful cobalt]

I wish I couldve grown up with CRTs, born too late

I played on 1 before

[surreal cipher]

I'm just lucky because I kept a couple of my older ones I guess

i would 100% not buy one now for those prices

[sinful cobalt]

From my unc*

technically speaking one of my uncs

[solar moat]

ram in right slots?

[spring latch]

i love windows 8.1

[solar moat]

\and allso update bios

[surreal cipher]

I actually remember really disliking flat screens/LCDs when they first became common

[sinful cobalt]

sadly he threw it away bcs it was too old and it clogged up space lmao

[surreal cipher]

they had noticeably worse picture quality than CRTs

but obviously due to the much thinner size and weight, they were way more convenient

and eventually had bigger screen size than CRTs

but originally I did not want to ditch my CRT lol.

[solar moat]

RIP the crapy laptop cpu strikes once more

[sharp ivy]

I took some decent pictures of my MSi CR600 finally

[surreal cipher]

that's a shame, that's what happened to most CRTs I think

[surreal cipher]

people got rid of them because they took up a lot of space.

[frigid blade]

That’s a thicc laptop

[sharp ivy]

It's a shame

Cause they're decent

[solar moat]

i got freind with like 5 of them for old game consolse

[sharp ivy]

I like them

[sharp ivy]

Saved from the local Return-It depot

[solar moat]

@cursive storm what slots the ram in?

[solar moat]

its not that thick

[surreal cipher]

I have a little corner with a CRT PC monitor and an iMac G3..

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-yo-stupid-gif-19991709

[surreal cipher]

The CRT on the left is my old monitor I was talking about before

[solar moat]

S8E9

[cursive storm]

oh does it need update

[solar moat]

offen help

[cursive storm]

how do i check that

[solar moat]

take cover off side and take iamge

[cursive storm]

breh

i kinda cant do that

[solar moat]

why?

[cursive storm]

too much of a hassle to take out

[solar moat]

i gess so is 20% perfomicne gani

[cursive storm]

old photo here maybe u can spot it

[solar moat]

that cpu you got loves fast ram like ddr4 4400 or more

[solar moat]

yep that wrong

[cursive storm]

oh

whats wrong

[solar moat]

ram in wrong slots

-1ghz

[cursive storm]

oh

they are the only 2 slots

[solar moat]

looks like 4

or am i blind

[cursive storm]

dont know

[solar moat]

2 ram stick 4 slots

[cursive storm]

oh yes 4

i see 4

[solar moat]

need them in slot 2/4 if 1 is next to cpu

and you got them in 1/3

[cursive storm]

oh

so that would be why its capped

[solar moat]

it dose not help

[cursive storm]

oh

so changing that isnt going to help with the mhz

[solar moat]

being in wrong slots is not helping it

[cursive storm]

oh

[solar moat]

so change it to right slots

[cursive storm]

so it will help then

[solar moat]

as i said being in wrong ram slots not heloing

[cursive storm]

right

my dad built it and hes very tech savvy and i never rlly thought he could place shit in the wrong spots

[solar moat]

i cant make promises about ram oc and your on the first bios on that board good idea to update it

[cursive storm]

how to update it

[solar moat]

RTFM

[cursive storm]

whatever that is

i feel really stupid

[solar moat]

read the fine manal

[cursive storm]

the motherboard box?

[solar moat]

i think your board is rev 1.4 maybe https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B550M-DS3H-rev-14/support#support-dl-bios

[cursive storm]

i dont think bios needs and update bc wouldnt it tell me if so

[solar moat]

why do you think it will tell your if there was bios update?

[cursive storm]

dont know

im just really stupid

[solar moat]

your on FB first one that was made for that board

[surreal cipher]

Generally you only need to update your BIOS if things don't work

[warm linden]

6ghz single core attainable with the 7950x3d?

[surreal cipher]

e.g if your motherboard supports CPUs made after itself and they don't work properly with the older BIOS

[solar moat]

there on the oldest for the board and ram oc not working

[solar moat]

on what ccd?

[warm linden]

Whatever one performs the best lol

[solar moat]

so what ccd

[warm linden]

Idk?

[solar moat]

one ccd has x3 the L3 other offen clocks higher

[sinful cobalt]

The CCD that doesnt have the increased L3 cache

[solar moat]

and no i dont thin kyou can do 6ghz on single coer

[solar moat]

what you want faster anywayu?

[solar moat]

the x3d ccd stick dose 5.25ghz vs the nonmral one that dose 5.75ghz

[frigid blade]

dell sucks

[solar moat]

fair

[frigid blade]

Their webpage says you can’t change the backplane for hdd configuration

But you literally can

You can swap and move the drive cages as you please

[solar moat]

best most can do is 5.95ghz

[inner veldt]

Would that gap be an issue? All screws fits well of mobo

[solar moat]

fine

[frigid blade]

Nah it’s fine

I’ve never seen that though

Generally it’s flat with outside of the case

[inner veldt]

Case came bent i guess but triple checked screw holes

[frigid blade]

Aha it is flat with it

[frigid blade]

Siiiick

What is that cooler?

[inner veldt]

Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC

[frigid blade]

Is it fanless?

[solar moat]

no

[inner veldt]

It has fans

Waiting for my ram stick then would install fans

[solar moat]

what specs?

[inner veldt]

Rtx 5080 solid, 9800x3d, rm1000x, 2x24gb ram cl30 6000nhz, rog x870e-e (i know its overkill but got cheap)

[solar moat]

OVERCLOCKing time

[inner veldt]

And 4tb 990 pro ssd with fractal north case

[frigid blade]

How cheap

[cursive storm]

doesnt look like bios needs an update

oh wait

[solar moat]

what rev is your board i think its 1.4

and BIOS not driver

[cursive storm]

dunno which F it is

[solar moat]

CHECK WHAT REV YOUR BOARD IS

bro how

[cursive storm]

i am and its below the where the gpu is

[solar moat]

if reading maunal/checking number on board is to hard DONT OVERCLOCK

[latent pasture]

ok so if ur not willing to do literally the bare minimum thing to solve ur problem then why should we

should the board telepathically tell us what revision it is

[frigid blade]

It’s the bottom left of the board, that’s the bios that you want to download

[cursive storm]

it should say it on the box right

[frigid blade]

I doubt they’d change boxing for revision changes

[latent pasture]

it doesnt
the literal box and manual will tell you to look on the board itself

[cursive storm]

should i change the ram slots while im at it

[solar moat]

you still did not swap them?

[sharp ivy]

That's 2 slots

[cursive storm]

no i havent went into it yet

[sharp ivy]

NVm

[solar moat]

there 4

[cursive storm]

about to tho

k its rev 1.4

k now how to move the ram sticks im scared i might break something

they are in slot 1 and 3 already

[solar moat]

need to move over to 2/4

[cursive storm]

ok

[cursive storm]

how to move them

[solar moat]

undo lock and then install in other slots

[cursive storm]

these?

[solar moat]

yep

[cursive storm]

oh no i heard a slight cackle

[signal mortar]

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c15v0j0n2kxo
looks super cool;

[cursive storm]

oh fuck i accidentally pulled it out without pulling the 2nd lever

does it go in this way

[solar moat]

the noch shoud line up

since its off center

[junior valve]

opisite

[solar moat]

allso read the ver number

[cursive storm]

and i click it in myself or push until i hear click

[solar moat]

till it locks in

[cursive storm]

im pushing very hard and im not hearing anything

[solar moat]

is it locked?

[cursive storm]

no

ok im scared im gonna break it im pushing with force and its not budging

[solar moat]

did you open the locks?

[cursive storm]

yes

its just not going in

[empty quartz]

I love gaming 😍

[cursive storm]

there we go

both in now

sorry if im being a pain btw

[empty quartz]

tried to enter the vehicle, and i merged with the ground... peak 2018 game

[cursive storm]

when i took one of them off i forgot to unclip the top clip and pulled it out

its not broken is it

[frigid blade]

nah should be fine as long as you didnt just rip it out, usually I can get it out with only 1 lock unclipped

[cursive storm]

i did hear a tiny cackle tho

[frigid blade]

if it posts youre fine, then check task manager to see if its still at whatever amount it was

[cursive storm]

alr

it boots yay

[solar moat]

time to update bios

[cursive storm]

can outdated bios cause performance issues

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/X20K.gif

[solar moat]

offen ram oc gets better on newer bios but updata to updata its allmost random and allso offen amd inproves perofmince on newer cpus with bios update/fix bugs

your on the OLDEST bios for that board

[frigid blade]

Its almost always better to update bios then stay on older one lets put it like that

[cursive storm]

do i get the latest one

[solar moat]

i dont recomend updaing bios every time there new one but when you get a bord/wanting to start to overclock its good idea

[solar moat]

latest non beta

[cursive storm]

im not one to overclock

[cursive storm]

how to tell if its beta or not

[solar moat]

? was that not the hole reson you asked?

[solar moat]

it will say

[azure topaz]

it was so XMP would work

[solar moat]

yes ram oc

[azure topaz]

and i think its just cause their board is stupid

[cursive storm]

so changing the system memory multiplier is overclocking?

[solar moat]

yse

[cursive storm]

oh

[azure topaz]

so yeah try a bios update. DS3H isnt famed to be a good board

[cursive storm]

fair enough

[azure topaz]

and overclocking is a very loose word

[solar moat]

ram in wrong slots/old af bios/laptop cpu dose not help

[cursive storm]

great so i have a shit board

[azure topaz]

it can mean a lot, from just running rated to runnning xoc

[solar moat]

ah yes since amd/intel allways saying this is stock perfomince when overclocking

[cursive storm]

which one

[azure topaz]

latest

[cursive storm]

i extracted it and its just a photo

help

[solar moat]

READ THE MAUNAL ON HOW TO INSTALL IT

[cursive storm]

o

silly me

[frigid blade]

its not a photo

[cursive storm]

oh

pls guide me before i break something

[solar moat]

Read the maunal

[cursive storm]

it didnt come with no manual

[azure topaz]

aquire dimentia and forget your ram has an xmp profile, profit

[solar moat]

I SENT IT TO YOU

[azure topaz]

google 🤯

[tidal trail]

how bad of malware is gigabyte control center

[cursive storm]

oh

[azure topaz]

relatively pretty garabgae

[tidal trail]

ez to get rid of after download?

[cursive storm]

can u send it again

[tidal trail]

Need to turn off this rgb on this gpu

[solar moat]

.

[south arrow]

Signal rgb if supported some gpu the rgb doesnt come off though

By software means at least

[azure topaz]

openrgb if not

[tidal trail]

ill give it a shot ty

shoot open rgb only sees my mobo

[azure topaz]

try uhh running it as admin if you didnt

[frigid blade]

interesting, the gigabyte docs show 2 different file types for the BIOS @solar moat

[azure topaz]

sometimes it doesnt pick up my ram or anything but my board either

[tidal trail]

just did no luck

[azure topaz]

[solar moat]

idc

[azure topaz]

try uhh signal i guess

[tidal trail]

will do

[azure topaz]

id rather unplug my rgb than use gigabyte control center tbh

my last gigabyte card had its rgb unplugged

[tidal trail]

if i knew where without opening it maybe

[high hare]

hey, question for pc builders. do those cheap windows 11 codes you buy online work or did u have to buy an actual windows 11 usb from ebay

[frigid blade]

yah but why is it that the in bios flash uses .f1, but q-flash uses .bin?

[azure topaz]

what card?

[tidal trail]

5070ti eagle oc

[frigid blade]

Is that not gonna cause issues if you dont do it right on their board?

[solar moat]

the bios flash back only look for 1 file name

where when your maunaly installing bios you pick it

[frigid blade]

ah right yah, I remeber that

I was looking at this

[azure topaz]

lol get trolled gigabyte made it one plug this gen i think

looks a lot bigger than a 4 pin fan connector

maybe its this header right by the power plug

[brisk tide]

Best 140mm airflow fan? I’ve seen so much conflicting information

[azure topaz]

if you think you can get at it confidently maybe try unplugging it and seeing if your fans turn off lol

[solar moat]

one that are over 9000RPM

[tidal trail]

shooo

[brisk tide]

Preferably something a little quieter

[azure topaz]

oh i might be right it mihgt be that plug right nex tto the power connector

[frigid blade]

Cant wait to install the 4090 in the r940

[azure topaz]

based off where the lighting is anyways

[tidal trail]

black port right?

ya

if you dont think youd be able to replug it if it is the fans dont woryr about it

maybe wait until if you take it apart or somethin

[tidal trail]

Ima see

[wraith bone]

noctua g2 , best fans out there overall

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz this should be a thing

[tidal trail]

Woah also what’s this switch for

[frigid blade]

vbios maybe

[tidal trail]

What

I jsut flipped it… 😭

[frigid blade]

gpu bios

[azure topaz]

it is you stupid

[frigid blade]

probably performance and quiet mode

[frigid blade]

no

[tidal trail]

Yea that’s what I assume

[azure topaz]

wait dual 3 to 4 or single 4 to dual 3

[frigid blade]

dual 3 to 4

[azure topaz]

it might be but thats like

why

[frigid blade]

to get 4.0 speeds if you only have 3.0 slots

[azure topaz]

but it doesnt matter realistically

[frigid blade]

Yah youre right, not even the 4090 has much of an impact on 3.0

Was just a thought though

I think it would be cool

oh

Since youre here, whats the most you would pay for that server?

[tidal trail]

@azure topaz thanks it was the right cable

[frigid blade]

Finding it without auction its set at like $2k

I was thinking $1k is my limit

[brisk tide]

Interesting. How about phanteks m25s? I can get 3 for 30 ish

[sinful cobalt]

my 9070xt being brought down to its knees in full raytracing for the 1% lows 😭

maybe time to be more aggressive with the UV

[frigid blade]

Quad 10GbE 😩

i need this server

[azure topaz]

🫡 we cookin now

[azure topaz]

specs? didnt see

[vestal roost]

My psu fans facing upwards due to the bottom case are blocked but I have a intake buttom fan too. Is it gonna affect the airflow of PSU?

[frigid blade]

I’ll be upgrading the hdd backplane and cages to be 3.5 drives if I win

[tidal trail]

hell yea we are

After new gpu

I think I’m done done unless I get a new cooler

[frigid blade]

That’s so nice I really want to build a “mini” pc

[junior valve]

peak aio arrived

[azure topaz]

was this the bid one

[fickle ivy]

How to get screamed at in any tech server in under 30 second

[frigid blade]

Yes

[azure topaz]

novody cares, quit breaking ur own hardware tho

[frigid blade]

It’s at $360, I looked around and R940s used go for $2k+ with less CPUs and ram

[fickle ivy]

Want backstory?

[azure topaz]

no

i dont care. nobody cares.

[fickle ivy]

Too bad

[frigid blade]

That’s why I think my max should be around $1k

[azure topaz]

nope

[azure topaz]

idk if anything skylake is worth 2k tbh

[fickle ivy]

It was a video my friend sent me, CPU was broken and out of warranty, just completely useless

[azure topaz]

just cause theyre sold for that much doesnt mean anyone with half a brain would buy one

[frigid blade]

It’s not, but people are paying

[thorn pewter]

Am trying to sell this i7 3770 with stock cooler I found I had and dunno the price I should sell it for, eh maybe 45ish lol

[azure topaz]

yeah but youre not as dumb as other gurrrls right

[tidal trail]

It’s nice but took me two days to build ngl

[frigid blade]

You can’t find the barebones chassis for cheaper than $600

It’s crazy

[azure topaz]

2k is beginning to get into like epyc/tr and your own chassis

[frigid blade]

If I can get this for $1k I’ll be happy I think

Or less

It needs drives and rails

[tidal trail]

My build has added up to like 2k and that’s with used

[azure topaz]

cheap ish

my build is extremely cheap but thats cause im a hacker

[tidal trail]

Oh yall talking bout servers?

[azure topaz]

i think it was less than 1500$ for my entire setup

[frigid blade]

Yah lol

[azure topaz]

13900k, 7800xt, monitors, peripherals all that

my server was 80$

[frigid blade]

I don’t need it, but it would be nice to have for cheap

It’s not old CPUs either

[azure topaz]

theyre pretty old but newer than most homelabs

[frigid blade]

Apparently they score close to low end gen 12 intel CPUs multi core performance

[azure topaz]

skylake is 10 years old dont glaze it too hard

[azure topaz]

this i can believe, maybe a 12600k or something

[frigid blade]

Yah so it’s not bad

[azure topaz]

so i dont imagine 2 of them would be bad in the same rig

[frigid blade]

And there’s 4 of them

[azure topaz]

although youre not getting any real program that can use all of them

or more than 1 really

[frigid blade]

Oh nah, it’s just a cuz it’s cheap thing, might just sell it for more after adding some stuff

[azure topaz]

but hey hella room for servicies

yeah prolly fair

[frigid blade]

Maybe I’ll move the storage part to it if I change out the drive backplane

Instead of my main build

You know Dell says you can’t change it?

Well you can, fuck you Dell

[azure topaz]

dell also says i cant use a 2690 V4 in my server

or normal non ecc ram

wanna guess the speccs of my server?

a 2690v4 and 64gb of desktop non ecc ram

[frigid blade]

how much did it cost?

[azure topaz]

80$

2690 v4 was 10$ on top of that and the ram upgrade was free

[frigid blade]

Watchu running on it?

[azure topaz]

4 minecraft servers, rust server, adblocking, fileshare, soon jellyfin, music streaming

[frigid blade]

Oh that’s good ideas

[azure topaz]

flopster 2 is the adblocking and is not on the 2690v4

[azure topaz]

its on one of these guys

[frigid blade]

I’m genuinely thinking about going to my old High School and asking the teacher if he wants to do some cool lab with VMs or something

I think I’m actually gonna go into teaching I enjoy it so much

[azure topaz]

i enjoy teaching but people piss me off to easy

which is why i help people that give proper vibes

[frigid blade]

Yah, the younger students are stupid, college is easier

[azure topaz]

yeah fair

[frigid blade]

I will never teach below college level if I do go into teaching

Not public schools at least

I saw how it was, they’re sticking metal into chromebooks and setting them on fire now

[azure topaz]

yeah

[frigid blade]

Tbf, I find it hilarious but I wouldn’t wanna deal with it
