[tidal geyser]

trust me it will not work out as you would think

[eternal reef]

How so?

[tidal geyser]

so many people think "flipping" is easy and a quick money hack or whatever

[eternal reef]

I am only planning on selling 1/2

[tidal geyser]

still makes it worse almost

[eternal reef]

I am not trying to compete with other people

[tidal geyser]

are you going to sell the pc

[eternal reef]

yes, I know I can make it look better than the other pcs

[rigid fjord]

i've spent a total of £1600 on my pc, this includes all upgrades that's been done on it, but what i can sell my system for is £400-500

[tidal geyser]

not really

[tidal geyser]

tbf that is semi new prices and so on

also a old pc

[eternal reef]

there are nearly 30 listings this year that sold in 1-3weeks of being listed all different pcs but simmilar specs that I know for a fact I can make a pc look as presentable

[rigid fjord]

only on the ram, ssd's, psu, fans, case and 1 hdd would it be new pricing the rest is secondhand tbf

[eternal reef]

I am confused as to what I am missing, both things you said here dont apply

[tidal geyser]

but would people really go for you, are you really able to build it well, are you able to take good pics, are you able to write a good description, if they have issues are you able to help?

[eternal reef]

Yes I've been my friend groups tech support for years and I can fix their problems everytime

they are dumber than acorns

I have a good camera, somewhere with good lighting and to be honest, if It doesn't end up selling the pc will be a big upgrade from my own pc

[tidal geyser]

what do you even have now

[eternal reef]

gt 730 and an xeon e3 1220v2

[random gyro]

than acorns? interesting

[eternal reef]

they share 8 brain cells as a group

[tidal geyser]

[eternal reef]

only game it cant run that I actually play is elden ring

I have an xbox for that and a few others

[random gyro]

Does anyone know of a service like trello and clickup with kanban boards but that lags less and offers more features without paying?

[formal sonnet]

This is more or less a clone of Trello https://wekan.github.io/ Otherwise, you can peruse the Awesome Self-hosted list for Kanban alternatives.

[azure topaz]

bro got mad

[swift moss]

bro what 😭

why do people not just use cameras or scanners

im still waiting for 17k imax reel scans 😭

like why not just take every frame in 17k

it would be terabytes, yes (each image is around 1.85gb) but still

[tired bear]

probably is so expensive due to single digit production volumes

[swift moss]

i really wanna get in touch with julascansimax but like i dont wanna chat just to get a higher res film scan

currently i have 1080p copies of IMAX

i dont scan anything myself

[swift moss]

it also probably takes AGES to take a 17k photo

ik it takes around 16 minutes to do a second of IMAX reel

[hybrid acorn]

Yipppeee finally came in mail

[tired bear]

the longer shot you take less noise you have

[swift moss]

kinda yeah, its usually dust and other artifacts that lead to a bad scan but yeah

like this probably took a very long time to scan, i dont own any 17k equipment nor do I have that frame lol

its a beautiful scan

[hearty mirage]

Learned the hard way the 7800 xt can be quite temperamental. Thank god undervolting it is easy now.

[swift moss]

for example, this was clearly meant to be a 4k scan, yet i have it in 1080p

[elder quarry]

weee

redoing everything I did today cayse I'm unsatisfied

wohoo yeet

[tidal geyser]

ama nuke ma NAS as it uses more power then god

my idle power use for my networking and mostly NAS is FKN 170 FUCKING WATTS

WTFFFF

not tested it 24/7 but i think its darn close to that 24/7

[nimble frigate]

9800X3D hitting almost 96c on cinebench.

Help

[tidal geyser]

with what?

my cpu is doing what its meant to do when i MAX MAX MAX it out

[elder quarry]

aand you have

[upper abyss]

can someone make amd gpu prices worse so i dont feel bad for buying nvidia 🙏

[elder quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/ban-button-keyboard-press-the-ban-button-gif-16387934

[upper abyss]

like why we gettin 5080 Performance for 750€ when a 5080 is 1120€

[nimble frigate]

It’s also doing it during shader comp tho

[nimble frigate]

I luckily don’t feel as bad cause I got my 5080 for $999

[upper abyss]

US?

[nimble frigate]

Yuh

[upper abyss]

isnt 9070xt like 600msrp here

ion rember, myb 650

[quick stag]

nice day.

[nimble frigate]

Yeah but you need to undervolt or OC to get to the 7900xtx, still crazy good but

I also needed the encoder

[warm sage]

what would the specs of the most average pc be?

[upper abyss]

me for cuda and AI

kinda unwilling to spend the money a 5080 costs with same vram as a 5070ti

[upper abyss]

just check steam hardware stats

[nimble frigate]

The 5080 not having 24 gigs was a kick to the nuts

[upper abyss]

or at least 20 man

[tidal geyser]

steam hardware survey

[elder quarry]

what do you need that for

[elder quarry]

pc or gaming

not everyone has steam

IDK how they sample that but

[tidal geyser]

soo uhm my nas is using like 150w idle

Good price to buy 4070 fe?

[austere cargo]

someone help me in build a pc

[nocturne horizon]

hey, I just got rx 9070 xt, I have corsair rm650x psu, and I wonder, should i try go with it or better to buy 850W psu? I have FSP VITA GM 850W 80 plus gold in nice price, for like 90 usd

[distant frigate]

Cmon Apple. Approve Fortnite!

[keen kestrel]

hi, is 650 watts enough for a 3070 with an i9 12900k?

[upper abyss]

blender (cuda) rendering is better, DLSS4 is gas kinda, fucking around with AI image gen

[grizzled frost]

no

[minor cove]

3070 says 220W i9 12900 is 240W under max load so 460W, depends on other components but should be okay 700W or more is recommended for 3070 though always good if PSU has some buffer so isn't runninng right at limits

[plain cypress]

1. Is it a quality PSU
2. Is the 12900K going to run full throttle or stick to PL1

Realistically in a gaming workload it should be fine

Plus you should probably power tune your 12900k anyways

[keen kestrel]

idk what that means ngl if you’re referring to my xmp tune then yeah

but it’s for my little brother all he plays is roblox and val i think it should be fine i don’t think he will ever reach max gpu usage

[wraith bone]

no get 850W min, 1000W recommended atx 3.0 or 3.1

[nocturne horizon]

Yo, is FSP vita gm 850w good psu?

[keen kestrel]

this gotta be a joke because i don’t even use 850 for my 5070 lol

[keen kestrel]

yeah gold corsair

[frosty oriole]

I use 850W on my 2080 Ti that pulls 600W+.

[wraith bone]

its better to have it

[plain cypress]

Gold Corsair means jack shit

[keen kestrel]

if it ain’t the top 300 dollar psu then it’s shit got it

[frosty oriole]

Depends on the PSU. The RM850x I have can do all 850W over the 12V rails and has a 20% OCP limit, so I can pull 650W on my GPU, 220W on my CPU and still not hit OCP.

[empty quartz]

As cool as apple fusion drives are, when they’re starting to fail… they become slower than a lobotomized newborn trying to solve a math problem

[plain cypress]

No, I just mean you have to provide more info

"gold Corsair" can mean a hundred different PSUs

Real

If it isn't an AX1600i, I don't want it 😤

[minor cove]

2080 ti max is like 250W +/- 10W so isn't gonna draw 600+W, agree don't skimp on PSU really but also don't need it to be made of platinum to function

[frosty oriole]

250W on reference cards, up to 280W when OC'd, 280W on OC cards up to 310 - 330W. 300W on Matrix Platinum, up to 380W. And over 600W with a 1000W XOC VBIOS.

[minor cove]

I had to double check if we were in overclocking 😄 fair I guess but that is not normal use

[frosty oriole]

Lol, ye.

[amber rampart]

Okay, this is odd... Any ideas why a switch connected to an Elgato HD60 X doesn't in games or the Mii settings screen for some reason?

My first guess what HDCP or something

[trim gyro]

that is such an interesting issue

[gloomy sleet]

can you buy a pack of just randomly assorted switches i wonder

[trim gyro]

let me try it on my capture card

it doesn't work while playing a game too?

[gloomy sleet]

closest i’ve seen is this

[trim gyro]

russian roulette of switches

[gloomy sleet]

might get it to add feeling to some keys

put a different switch on certain keys

[trim gyro]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-switch-tester-100-max-edition

[amber rampart]

Nope

[gloomy sleet]

damn that’s pretty cool

[amber rampart]

Can't play games! This is so odd

[gleaming rose]

nintendo moment

[gloomy sleet]

this one is mostly tactile switches i think

[gleaming rose]

they sure know how to make dogshit software

[limpid ivy]

Lol was casually scrolling yt shorts and somehow I came across your comment on one

[gloomy sleet]

what did i say

[limpid ivy]

Gotta find it but it was something car related

[gloomy sleet]

also how do you know it’s me

[minor cove]

You can get tiny 6 switch or probably 9 switch panels for hot swap style ones to try out different ones

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t have a youtube channel called 2012vauxcorsa

[limpid ivy]

Same pfp as here

Damn I’m been tricked

[gloomy sleet]

my youtube account doesn’t have the same pfp

[frosty oriole]

I asked ChatGPT to make me a pie chart based on how useful its responses are.

[limpid ivy]

Ah

[gloomy sleet]

even that response is bullshit

can’t even do an accurate pie chart

[gleaming rose]

are you surprised?

[frosty oriole]

To be fair, it did it accurately the first time, but when I told it to mess it up, it didn't mess it up properly the first time, so I feel that makes it more valid.

[minor cove]

Which do you prefer A or A with slightly smaller title

[robust trail]

Yay out with unraid!

[trim gyro]

both are not good

text should not over lap. If a portion takes up too much space, use a legend or a label with a line connecting it

[minor cove]

In the vein of dunking on AI though this meme been circulating gave me good laugh

[gleaming rose]

PSSHHHH

"vibe coder" is a really fancy way to say stupid fucking person

[plush wren]

vibe coder (paster)

[opaque venture]

my pc stopped turning on for some reason and after a bunch of troubleshooting i think it's my psu

i'm correctly jumper'ing my psu (i think)

[plush wren]

have you tried pushing in your gpu pcie cables

[opaque venture]

yeah im testing the psu outside the pc

[warm linden]

Some guy offered to trade me a 7900xtx for my 5070 plus 200 cash. Should I do it?

[plush wren]

oh my pc once wouldnt boot randomly and the pcie cables werent fully in somehow

[opaque venture]

it should be switching on right?

[plush wren]

tbh idk whaz ur doing

[opaque venture]

so my motherboard could have killed my psu?

[gleaming rose]

google workplace is pretty sweet

[gleaming rose]

pretty much impossible

[gleaming rose]

NEVER do this

[opaque venture]

y not

people do it all the time

it's just jumpering the on pin and the ground pin

[gleaming rose]

i feel like those people have a better idea of what they're doing

that's a dangerous thing to do

[opaque venture]

nah i've been building pcs for 5 years im aware of the risks

[steel umbra]

electrons zzZap!

[opaque venture]

gigabyte uses this stupid janky adapter for its front IO on its SFF motherboards

maybe that somehow tripped my psu

can a bad surge protector trip a psu?

[lost lance]

is there any program that allows me to stream to my macbook from my windows pc using the macbooks native resolution

im currently just using steam stream but the compressino is kinda bad

[minor cove]

You should be able to adjust quality vs speed/bandwidth usage in steam, not sure about alternatives from Mac side though

[lost lance]

it does not work that well considering that the mouse positons are not syncing up

making anything gaming wise unplayable

[chrome remnant]

can someone give me a budget friendly 650 watt or more psu rated gold?

[minor cove]

eh like it never gets to the same position or like it's just always a lot of lag?

[lost lance]

nope will never line up

[minor cove]

if the position is just alway "off" then it's probably a screen resolution/space mapping issue rather than like lag related, but I play games from linux laptop here streaming from windows PC using steam link and isn't an issue so long as the network can support it (gets crappier away from router and whatnot)

[lost lance]

lag isnt a issue for me the pc is right next to me i just like the macbook screen better

i have a shitty 240hz monitor that has horrible colors

im just trying to play some cool fancy looking games and not have it look like it was drawn on a whiteboard

[minor cove]

maybe try lowering the mac resolution to whatever the remote system resolution is before launching stuff so it matches whatever is being rendered and then encoded/sent won't have to rescale so much and positions should be more 1:1 for input and whatnot

[opaque venture]

evga all the wayyyy

[latent pasture]

what country/store

[mental mural]

Got a budget of around £500 to upgrade and confused what to do.
Main games : cyberpunk , beamng, Minecraft.

[trim gyro]

what do you already have and don't have

https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/p/laptops/yoga/yoga-slim-series/yoga-slim-7i-gen-9-aura-edition-15-inch-intel/len101y0051 is this laptop good value ? since its on sale

its in cad currancy

Heard this cpu from intel is good

[trim gyro]

ok

[steel umbra]

not how that works

as we know even brands like seasonic could prepare sparkplosive psus due to poor qc

so much what that can fail on a psu, yes you can expect much higher failure rates and general issues on a cheaper unit but even on some 2000W rog thor ultra titamium maximus it may parts can be defective

[trim gyro]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/PfZCv4

[livid mason]

Got tired of my wireless wifi, took it directly to the router and setup Ethernet (my dad hasn't been able to run Ethernet in the new house yet)

[trim gyro]

getting your money's worth now

[livid mason]

Hopefully my dad can route some ethernet through the attic before I leave for work or during my time at work

I won't be home for about 2 months so hopefully that gives him enough time to route at least the upstairs portion of the house

[trim gyro]

which s 16

[steel umbra]

i think i would wait for the 5060, at £100 cut it’s going to be atleast .8x of the 5060 ti and paying £400 for 8gb vram in 2025 unless your use case doesn’t require a lot of vram… yikes
i would check out second hand 4070 supers / ti

[latent pasture]

its the 16gb variant lol

[mint umbra]

the one with AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 chip

[steel umbra]

oh i’m blind then

[mint umbra]

the asus one more expensive

but heard the amd chip is better than the intel one

[livid mason]

Nevermind he won't be doing ethernet

Which sucks because he could totally do it he just doesn't wanna drill holes and stuff in the new house

[trim gyro]

I think the Lenovo one is just as good

the Zenbook S 16 you're looking at does have an OLED display though

[lost lance]

can anyone tell me how the hell on macos a app can use 219% of my cpu

[trim gyro]

both 120Hz. But on the other hand, the Lenovo laptop has more system memory

[mint umbra]

the Asus one has better chip tho

for multi core

heard the intel one has poor performace for multicore

but Heard the asus one has overheating issue

[trim gyro]

thankfully laptop CPUs are so fast nowadays that it's not a huge concern for most people

[mint umbra]

would it be able to do light gaming

since there is no gpu

[sinful cobalt]

get the one with 32g

[mint umbra]

for 400 extra dollars?

[sinful cobalt]

i just joined

[mint umbra]

1300 for 16gb 32 gb for 1800

[sinful cobalt]

im not gonna read allat context

didnt u just say asus one more exp im not catching on

[mint umbra]

the asus one is more expensive

but there is also 2 diff version on the lenovo

one with 16gb and one with 32

[sinful cobalt]

whats the full spec ping me the msg

[rigid fjord]

gold rated and budget friendly, you have to choose between the 2

[jolly brook]

what windows pc specs are good for coding Python? I got 32 gb RAM and 1 TB SSD on my windows 11 laptop.

[mint umbra]

lenovo with the lunar lake 256v processor ips screen and the asus with the amd Ai 9 365 oled screen

[trim gyro]

depends on how intense your python scripts are

but if it's just simple programs, then I don't see why not

[mint umbra]

those are biggest diff

[jolly brook]

ok

[surreal cipher]

If you are just learning the language and not writing a massive business application or something, any potato computer will do

[jolly brook]

Ok.

[surreal cipher]

although, if you use an IDE like PyCharm, they can eat CPU and RAM with large projects.

[jolly brook]

im learning how to code, so i am looking toward python cuz i think python is easy to learn

[surreal cipher]

you should be fine on pretty much any computer then yeah

[jolly brook]

Thanks

[surreal cipher]

As long as it has a modern OS obviously

[jolly brook]

got windows 11

[surreal cipher]

yeah you'll be fine

[sinful cobalt]

price diff?

[surreal cipher]

It would take a truly massive Python program to make a machine with 32GB RAM struggle I think lol

[jolly brook]

i got 256 gb ssd and 8 gb ram

fr

[swift moss]

dear dear

[swift moss]

honestly anything that is hand written at a production level is hard to make use 32gb outside of certain tasks

[solar moat]

2dpc ram 😢

[jolly brook]

gta 6 is delayed until 2026.... wtf

[surreal cipher]

Yeah you would only really need high specs for a Python program I think if it was in a high usage production environment where its handling tons of requests

for learning, you'd need to write a really stupid program to need that much RAM haha

[swift moss]

10MB probably fine

actually, im not too sure if llvm goes into memory

[surreal cipher]

Mind you I'm not especially skilled with Python

I use PHP and C++ mostly, but I have used it before in college and whatnot.

[swift moss]

im not too sure about the python backend, mostly need to know about actually compiled ones

[winter lantern]

Can I get 100% cpu usage with this bottleneck

[surreal cipher]

PHP for work/my actual job, and C++ for personal projects... I like writing game console emulators for fun and C++ is a decent language for that.

[grave musk]

Why is my 128GB flash drive that I got from Walmart so slow? And is there a way to make it faster? I've had this for about 3 years and this is by far the slowest flash drive I own

[frail delta]

Is it a super cheap USB? If so that's likely your issue

Is it connected to a USB3.x port?

[grave musk]

It's connected to a USB 3.1 port

[frail delta]

And you're copying files from an SSD?

[grave musk]

From an SD card

[frail delta]

If you copy files from the SD card to your SSD, is it just as slow?

[grave musk]

It's slow with uploading pretty much anything no matter what device I use. But to answer your question, yes

[frail delta]

So then the problem here is the SD card, no?

[lapis violet]

also look at the saw tooth history of the transfer, it's clear that the USB ran out of cache and has to drop speed to recover
pretty common behavior imo, there's not much space for a giant cache chip that you might found on nvme for example

[random gyro]

Whats the best desk for a mainly white build from ikea that would be durable

[bronze summit]

All white builds usually don't age well if you don't properly maintain it

[random gyro]

I do a clean everything after a month

Just my desk is dying

[bronze summit]

Yea monthly ain't good enough

[random gyro]

True

[bronze summit]

Mittzon

[frail delta]

"I clean everything after a month" 😭

[grave musk]

I don't think it's my SD card as I've copied files from different flash drives to the slow flash drive I'm talking about and it's just as slow. But this is the SD card I used to copy a few files over from

[random gyro]

Should prob do it hourly

[frail delta]

I'd hate to see your bathroom if it only gets cleaned once a month :p

[bronze summit]

The problem with all white builds is, you don't get breathing space

[lapis violet]

I'll just put it up to the USB stick being slow
is this just a generic walmart brand or something else?

[bronze summit]

This is why wood/black is preferred

[random gyro]

Well its a white a black but i have more white then black

[grave musk]

It's ONN so yea

[frail delta]

#tech-chat-1 message

[winter lantern]

1000$ all white 4060 builds with a 300$ aio

[frail delta]

USB flash drives should not exist in 2025 😌

[grave musk]

I figured

[grave musk]

What's better?

[random gyro]

Then how do you load windows on a new build

[frail delta]

You spin up a PXE environment

[random gyro]

True i like usb better though

[grave musk]

I prefer USB flash drives bc that's all I have

[random gyro]

What is the best desk from ikea though

[grave musk]

I could use an SSD though in replacement for my current, slow drive

[random gyro]

Should i just get a butcher block and two alex draws

[grave musk]

I just can't afford one rn

[limpid ivy]

Lol when MicroCenter keeps giving coupons for these basically twice a month

[random gyro]

You have a micro center 😦

[livid mason]

Anyone know how to free my pictures folder and everything else from OneDrive? Its not letting me transfer the folder to my HDD

[frail delta]

USBs should only ever be used for very short term transport of data, like to a printer, or to flash a bootable image to

[livid mason]

Maybe even get rid of OneDrive

[frail delta]

Uninstall onedrive

[livid mason]

I tried

Its like Microsoft is forcing it just as much as Edge 💔

[frail delta]

Obviously not hard enough

[livid mason]

Wait it is uninstalled

Now I'm confused

[granite sundial]

just make sure theyre backed up

usb sticks tend to randomly stop working

i wouldnt store anything on a usb stick youre not ok with losing

[gritty tusk]

bro they give me one a year wdym twice a month

[granite sundial]

make a raid array using usb sticks

[gritty tusk]

would u like to help me with that?

[limpid ivy]

either cause I have been to them more often then not or they miss me lol

[gritty tusk]

bruh

wait usb drive nas sounds fire

[granite sundial]

now just to find a 24 port usb hub

[sinful cobalt]

wtf

Hey LTT folk, you ever seen visual glitches like these happen? I don't know what causes it, But I've seen it happen on chromium-based browsers. (This one is running on Brave.)

The smartdraw tab's contents are "spilling over" into the new tab window. Practically overlaying on top of it. It goes away if I activate my screenshoting program or let it disappear on its on. I've tried disabling gpu acceleration but it didnt work as well.

why is my pc slow i wonder?

[random gyro]

What i might build

[solar moat]

like i only getting 200Gflops in HPLinpack

[random gyro]

Ohh

Can you rate a concept set up

[solar moat]

remove the LED hexagon ands its 7 out of 10

[random gyro]

Why no hexagons

[solar moat]

I know but why

Oh wait im slow mb

[random gyro]

Its a gif

[solid crown]

I got a z690 maximus extreme and now the 13900k runs great with a very low fan curve

so all you need for intel cpus to be good is $1000 msrp in mobo

[solar moat]

are you on 0x12B or newer?

[random gyro]

My reall pc is a 4090 and a ryzen something x3d and 128 gb ram and 4tb nvme

[solid crown]

just updated yeah

[solar moat]

RIP

[random gyro]

What

[solid crown]

I did run it without the new update and the cpu was hitting 6.2 ghz lol

[cerulean loom]

Anyone know why my controller is doing this

[solid crown]

6.1* my bad

[solid crown]

its in sister mode

[cerulean loom]

That’s crazy

[random gyro]

Sound like a ps4 without fan’s spining

Also how does a xbox controller make that sound

It is ddr5

Its am5 not am4

[solar moat]

2dpc on am5 is PAIN

Oh

Yea it is pain but i play one game only lol

[raven scroll]

What is 2dpc

[solar moat]

DIMM per channel

[raven scroll]

Isnt the world we live in 3d

[random gyro]

2d pc would be cool

Ph wait its just a picture

Pro art cards are hard to find used.

[random gyro]

Yea

[raw trout]

Do you know guys know any low profile cards that don't need external psu power?

[random gyro]

Umm on sec

You on budget

[arctic kettle]

I had to sidegrade from my Sapphire 7900 XTX which looked really nice to a 9070 XT

[raw trout]

My budget is 50 bucks

[random gyro]

Bruh

Used 1660 super

[raw trout]

5,000 rupees

[arctic kettle]

1050ti

[random gyro]

That to

[arctic kettle]

50$ is not going to get you anything good.

[random gyro]

Yea

[raw trout]

I just want a upgrade from integrated shit from 2016

[random gyro]

What is it

[arctic kettle]

A zotac 1050 ti doesn't req a power cable iirc

[raw trout]

Core i5 6th gen

[random gyro]

Huh

[arctic kettle]

igpu

[solar moat]

if its 6600k thats still a nice cpu

[random gyro]

Oh

[raw trout]

[random gyro]

Mb

[solar moat]

it igpu when i came out was bad

[raw trout]

Can't even run fortnite without screen tear and graphical issues with low fps

[solar moat]

[raw trout]

I use my xbox

[solar moat]

list full specs

[raw trout]

8gb ram core i5 6th gen stock ahh cooler 256,500 gb ssd 512 gb hhd

[solar moat]

welp gpu is needed

and maybe more ram

[arctic kettle]

Yeah 50$ budget with no pcie power cables either.

So I said 1050 ti.

[raw trout]

My x16 is being used by my ssd.

[raw trout]

Its convertible so I'll put it on the small slot

[solar moat]

welp

[raw trout]

It's a gaming ssd but I could bear slow speeds

[solar moat]

no thing as gaming ssd

[raw trout]

Games on SSD= gaming ssd

[solar moat]

and trust me you cant tell form sata 6Gb/s
and pcie gen5 x4

[winter lantern]

Can I make my ssds formatted higher?
Theyre at 1.6tb for some reason

[solar moat]

ok?

[winter lantern]

It was a question

[solar moat]

you buy 2TB yes?

[winter lantern]

Why are you being such an ass?

[winter lantern]

Don't they format to around 1.8

Not 1.6

[raw trout]

Ima put my ssd on the small network adapter slot cuz the adapter is backwards compatible

[winter lantern]

Mhm

[solar moat]

send image of diskmgr?

[raw trout]

Mabye he increased the allocation

[arctic kettle]

Me when 200 used for unallocated partition.

[solar moat]

the raw size of a 2TB ssd is 1.81TiB and with formatting
offen can be slighty lower

[arctic kettle]

CALLED IT

LMAO

[solar moat]

welp there there 180GiB

[raw trout]

Partition alignment issues?

[solar moat]

right click and go extend partion on the main partion

[arctic kettle]

^

I would use a more bearable partition manager than the default but this works.

[raw trout]

If it doesn't work u have to use a external software to align partition and merge

[solar moat]

idk have not had to do that before

[winter lantern]

Alright ty

[arctic kettle]

I use the free tier of paragon partition manager.

[raw trout]

I had to do that when I changed my boot SSD from 256 to ,512

[winter lantern]

Its the most popular 2tb ssd im fine

[raw trout]

It's not about the sef

Sdd

[arctic kettle]

Did you used to have a Linux install or something and delete all of the partitions for it?

[raven scroll]

Can someone give me examples of what a secondary monitor could be used for

[solar moat]

discord

[arctic kettle]

discord

[solar moat]

youtube/spotify

[arctic kettle]

Literally anything

Youtube videos about game tech when playing as that character

[raven scroll]

Those are some good reasons

[arctic kettle]

I don't use a second one since I have a chonker 32" monitor and I can just use my phone.

[raven scroll]

I have a single 27 atm

[arctic kettle]

2x 27 would be nice

[raven scroll]

A secondary monitor does sound convenient but not sure if the benefits outweigh the downsides

[arctic kettle]

I should have bought the 480hz 1440p monitor instead.

[raven scroll]

For my specific case

Because I would need a monitor arm to make it look good

And my table would probabaly snap because its from ikea

[arctic kettle]

Nah

I have an ikea desk even though I spent big $ on everything else.

They are good for the price.

[bronze summit]

There's nothing wrong with an IKEA desk

[arctic kettle]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1193811803378036796

Yeah they are pretty fire

[raven scroll]

No but my table specifically has this like raised platform to put monitors on

And if I had a monitor arm I’d probabaly have to attach it to that platform

[winter lantern]

Its a used computer and I didnt factory reset their ssds

[raven scroll]

And I’m not sure if it’s strong enough to support the torque caused by moving thr arm

[arctic kettle]

Send pic?

[raven scroll]

Aight

[winter lantern]

Ts monitor is nice

[raven scroll]

It’s kinda dark

[arctic kettle]

odyssey?

[winter lantern]

The room?

[arctic kettle]

Which desk is that

[raven scroll]

I’d also have to move other things I fit another monitor

[winter lantern]

My eyes gonna hurt if I make it brighter
Its perfectly fine

[raven scroll]

The top platform is only 110cm longs

[winter lantern]

Yep

[winter lantern]

My pc aint fitting on any desk

Unless its some 80 year old solid wood one

[raven scroll]

IKEA utvisning table

[rapid gazelle]

hey can anyone tell me if this is good stuff to get for a build to hold me over on games for like 2-3 months?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zHm7gn

[arctic kettle]

Bro has the giant

[winter lantern]

Only if the giant gpu worked with it 🥺

[arctic kettle]

If you are buying used yes

[rapid gazelle]

why is buying used different then just buying new parts other then price

[winter lantern]

Cause cheaper

[arctic kettle]

I have the smol parts

[winter lantern]

Rate the bottleneck

[rapid gazelle]

id rather get new cuz i have prime and faster delivery, if i buy used its finna take a week or two

[arctic kettle]

9/10

[rapid gazelle]

im fine spending the 350

[arctic kettle]

That 13900k is cooking that gpu

[arctic kettle]

Fair enough

[winter lantern]

This gpu can't run anything naitve besides mc

And rbx

Nothing is running in 5120x1440 well

[arctic kettle]

I would get a case and cooler that you will be using in the new build 3 months from now

only things I would change

[rapid gazelle]

no no, three months from now i’m getting an entire new pc.

im finna be getting alot more money over summer

[arctic kettle]

If you are going to be balling on part selection that makes sense

Otherwise wasting money

[rapid gazelle]

yeah i plan on making a 5080 build

[arctic kettle]

💪

[rapid gazelle]

i think its a good price difference from getting the 5090 cuz the frame dif is not that bad

[arctic kettle]

I couldn't stomach the doubling of price for not much uplift

[steel wing]

Hello, I am looking for help for a friend, my friend last night interrupted a windows update by powering off his pc.
His files corrupted, and he re-installed windows but now when he boots his pc flashes with a white screen and his display shuts off, the pc stays on.
We believe its a AMD graphics driver that gets installed because it happens right before the display shuts off.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to help.

[arctic kettle]

The 5080 I mean

[rapid gazelle]

yeah i just want the 5080 cuz its a good price range for me

and not a major increase like as the 5090 is

i just need something to hold me over for the summer

running a gt 1030 and all i can play is old old games

[arctic kettle]

What are your current parts

Might be able to salvage parts of it for the temp build

[rapid gazelle]

its a oem, otherwise i would’ve just upgraded.

like ddr3 limited motherboard

[arctic kettle]

RIP

[rapid gazelle]

nothing worth salvaging

[winter lantern]

I just connect my moniter to my tv for speaks am I smart for ts

[rapid gazelle]

only thing ill keep is the ssd and hdd

[arctic kettle]

Then you need to add a PSU to that list

I thought you might have been using previous one.

[winter lantern]

Its probably like 500w

[arctic kettle]

Remove the SSD too since you have one

[swift moss]

whats the purpose of these curly traces?

[vital drift]

AIO went off and died on me, what should I get for my 5800x? (240mm)

[arctic kettle]

literally added that to the list before you sent this

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8W4QNz

[rapid gazelle]

lol

scored it on ebay a week ago for 28 dollars

[arctic kettle]

nice

[arctic kettle]

Do you have thermal paste btw

I dont think that cooler comes with

[rapid gazelle]

ill buy some then

[arctic kettle]

Just asking so that you can actually build it when everything arrives lmao

[rapid gazelle]

also dont think im getting that case

im getting a cooler master case

39 bucks

wait nvm is atx mobo

[vital drift]

If it’s the one I’m thinking of just make sure it’s a M-atx mb

[rapid gazelle]

eh ill just go with that case, better aesthetic anyways.

[rapid gazelle]

ye ye i realize now

[arctic kettle]

You have a matx on the list

b550m

[rapid gazelle]

oh is it matx

ye nvm then ill get the cooler master

[winter lantern]

I tried putting another gpu in my pc and it gave a weird error
Im guessing you can't put a crap gpu in with another gpu

[arctic kettle]

Probably didn't have drivers

[rapid gazelle]

oh yeah that reminds me that i got to get a usb for windows and drivers

[arctic kettle]

yes

Windows install will require

drivers not really unless you need wifi/lan drivers as sometimes windows doesn't give them to you on installation.

[plain cypress]

Woah, an actual deal near me?

Also damn I've never seen 30 series zotac cards, that cooler looks kinda cool

[swift moss]

well well well

[winter lantern]

Yeah it didn't

Also was much much older

[arctic kettle]

200???

Crazy

[solid crown]

making sure that each trace is the same length

like ik for ram they need trace length to be the same to improve stability and such

[solid crown]

just warning you that card is freaking massive

[agile onyx]

hello

are there any am5 and nvlink compatible motherboards

on 3dmark there isint one nvlink and am5 build

on pc part picker https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X670E-GODLIKE/Specification this is only compatible board however it says in the specs AMD multi gpu support which isint directly specifying nvlink

however it does have the x8/x8 needed

does anyone have knowledge lol

[spare laurel]

Anyone wanna recommend

Is 700$ good for a 3090

[winter lantern]

No
If it was a ti then yes

[spare laurel]

Non ti

[latent pasture]

what

its almost the same gpu just the difference is 3090 has half the vram chips on the back instead of all on the front

[winter lantern]

At that point pay 100 more for a 9070xt

[glacial kraken]

my phone cracked 😢

my z flip 3 its full on dying

[kind adder]

What're you gonna use the GPU for? You're getting a bad value for that price...unless it's in pristine condition, it has a beefy warranty, pass. They regularly sell for a few hundred less on the used market. And if you want alternatives, RTX 4070 Ti Super and 4080 super outperform it in RT, efficiency, and DLSS while being in the same ballpark in price

[kind adder]

Or this guy's

[mint umbra]

Was gunna try Linux but looks like there is more compability issues that I thought

I thought it was just games with anti cheat that didn't work

But there's a list of programs that don't work either

[kind adder]

What are you using Linux for?

Linux', depending on the distro you're daily driving, is not built around to kiss a Corporate's ass from what I'm aware of, since their market incentives are barely nonexistent

[minor cove]

If most of what you do is on the web it's no issue, if you rely heavily on things like Adobe Suite or Microsoft products there are alternatives but wouldn't expect support from them anytime soon. With regard to games, SteamOS and steamdeck using it has made Linux for gaming more of a priority for devs who care about that segment and things like Vulkan shaders that can work across systems is getting more solid so I do expect it to continue to improve in that regard but older games that rely on Battleye or EAC are likely to have some issues (think more the former but both can have problems, this is more so an issue if using virtualization than Linux in particular).

[inner veldt]

Do my PCI traces looks fine?

[keen kestrel]

is there a limit where ram speed doesn’t matter or is it whatever my motherboard can support? currently have 2x16 of ddr5 6000mhz looking to upgrade to 2x32 ddr5 with 7200* or will speed barley snow an affect ?

[torn sequoia]

you have to check what is your motherboard's support for ram speeds

[minor cove]

If the CPU is already a bottleneck then increasing RAM speed isn't gonna help but I think up until that point faster is always going to result in some perf gain, how noticeable that is is going to just depend on bottlenecks of given processes or other I/O speeds

[runic anvil]

guys ,i have a question, i have bought a 8tb nvme to use with ipad pro 2021 / iphone pro max 16, but i tried several nvme to usb/tb enclosures,.
acasis 405plus

but for some reason my ipad dont want to open half of the folders, iphone well it doesnt work with neither, anyone got an idea why ?

[kind adder]

Speak your shit indeed hawk tuah

[random gyro]

Is there any way I can share all my files between two pcs excluding games but have things like save files for Minecraft

What I mean is have cloud storage through both pcs without having to constantly download everything on either one

Have the save files for games like Minecraft where it’s stored locally

[minor cove]

eh sort of... you can have a mapped network drive or mounted network location that maps to somewhere and/or can use symbolic links to link from the games "normal location" to that mapped network drive location but might run into issues if say launched on both computers at same time with shared save file since both going to try and write back and file might be locked by one or the other game process running

Steam does "cloud saves" for games too, so can sync the save files typically with games there. Other ways with scripts to do it probably look at "robocopy" for windows or rsync for linux or mac.

[stuck terrace]

Yall i have a ryzen 7 5700G and an rtx 3050 6gig i want to upgrade my gpu not that its bad cuz it gets 170-200 fps in warzone and 240 stable in fortnite and 30-60 in tripple a games med settings

What gpu should i upgrade to

[limber nacelle]

tbf 700 us for a 3090ti would be on the cheaper side

the 90ti is much more desirable than the reg 3090 lit. for the reason you mentioned

also they're less old

[limber nacelle]

5090

:^)

[latent pasture]

the best u can afford cuz youll upgrade that toa 5000x3d sometime anyway

[stuck terrace]

Now a realistic gpu

[limber nacelle]

tbh it ain't even worth buying zen3 x3d anymore because they shot up in price so much after they stopped production

[latent pasture]

cool, let us telepathically obtain not only your budget but also ur location and available stock

[latent pasture]

only 5800x3d stopped

[limber nacelle]

👆 if someone is not going to set parameters I will always say the 5090 or something crazy for the memes

[limber nacelle]

really? istg 5700x3ds have been getting pricey too

[stuck terrace]

Its EU budget is 700 euros and stocks are high here

[latent pasture]

you can buy an overkill gpu because ull upgrade ur cpu anyway
unless u can guarantee right here right now that you know you will never ever get a better cpu than 5700g

[limber nacelle]

wow it's not like the eu is comprised of a shit ton of countries each having their own local pricing

[rigid fjord]

what cpu?

[rigid fjord]

i'd upgrade the cpu first

[limber nacelle]

^ this, very important

also max ram speed on a lot of boards that they rate usually means "we got it to boot at X speed"

[stuck terrace]

Nahh the 3050 is bottlenecking

[limber nacelle]

not that it's stable and usuable

[rigid fjord]

very much so

[stuck terrace]

Might aswell buy a ryzen 9 9900X

[rigid fjord]

an i3 12100f beats the 5700g, hell evem my 5600x beats it

[limber nacelle]

eww no

9700x would be better for gaming

[stuck terrace]

What about i7 14700

[rigid fjord]

and the qvl lists also be a case of " these are the only ones we've tested so far with said motherboard"

[limber nacelle]

2x6c ccd cpus are only really good if you only care for MT perf

[limber nacelle]

anything raptor with oc lock is kinda ewaste

raptor/refreshes are only good if you manually tune it

[stuck terrace]

R9 9700X3D?

[limber nacelle]

what?

bro is just making shit up now

[rigid fjord]

nah, they don't have the degradation via oxidation issues that got exposed when the 'k'/'ks' had higher wattages

[stuck terrace]

I think 9700x3d is a solid gpu

[rigid fjord]

they give a ztt member vibe

[limber nacelle]

oxidation was only ever a small batch and the degredation issue was a result of microcode bugs anyways, I just think non K cpus kinda suck especially on higher skus

[sinful citrus]

I am going to perform a windows reinstall, i can just disconnect my harddrives to ensure that they are untouched in the process right? So that i dont need to do a backup?

[latent pasture]

yes

if anything thats recommended bc windows likes touching other drives and putting the install files on a different one than what you chose for no fucking reason then causes issues later if u need to change out drives u thought were unrelated

[sinful citrus]

I also have a m.2, not easy to access but worth disconnecting?

Besides my boot drive

[rigid fjord]

disconnect everything that isn't the boot drive

[quasi bough]

I just bought a MSI PSU in lieu of a dead Seasonic one. The MSI one is very silent and doesn't "click" when you switch on the computer or go to sleep/wake from sleep

it's very nice to not here a big click when it happens

[sinful citrus]

If i choose keep all personal files, what files do they mean? Like the whole users folder for example?

[true stirrup]

Note that not all MSI PSUs are like this
My A650BN clicks quite a bit

[sinful citrus]

My other m.2 really only has games on there

Didnt feel like it was necessary to also do the work to disconnect that

[quasi bough]

MAG A650BN?

[quasi bough]

this is exactly the model I bought, are you in the 110V region of the world?

[true stirrup]

230V

[quasi bough]

I have this exact same model and it doesn't click at all

and the fan is quiet as possible

[true stirrup]

Interesting
And yeah the fan is really quiet

[quasi bough]

yes, I was expecting some click on that price point, because Seasonic models that are more expensive are making loud clicks

[empty quartz]

Be quiet!

[true stirrup]

Can't remember if my previous A650BN clicked before it died (not the PSUs fault for dying) so it might be specific to each unit

[quasi bough]

and there's also a A650BNL model which apparently is really bad

why did it died if it wasn't the PSU fault?

[true stirrup]

Yeah it's F tier

[true stirrup]

My custom loop leaked because the screws on the Gigabyte pre applied waterblock on my GPU unscrewed themselves likely to years of pump vibration

[quasi bough]

oh shoot :/ I hope it kill the whole machine

[true stirrup]

It didn't kill anything with it so I guess the protections in the PSU are quite good

[quasi bough]

well, on that PC that I installed the MSI, two PSU died in the matter of 2 years and 3 months... they both did their job are protecting the other components but now I gotta figure out why they die

taking in account, it's by no means the power of the setup 😅 i3 with one SSD and that's it

[frosty oriole]

I did a thing.

[rigid fjord]

reminds me of a cooler i made for a phone

[frosty oriole]

Ay, neat.

[raven gyro]

Did nvidia fix their drivers by now?

[proper gull]

Yesn't

It might be, try it and see

[junior valve]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FvJW74 not my proudest build

[sinful cobalt]

previous gens maybe

50 series is still prob a big mess

[raven gyro]

no thanks last time i updated, my gpu was not displaying anything and it was setting the fan speed to 100% lol

[rigid fjord]

it can fuck with 40 series with the newer drivers

[sinful cobalt]

maybe I should get a 50 series card to just mod the backplate and not use it

https://tenor.com/view/trollface-gif-8242347154758580084

[peak knot]

thats not doing much

you would need to mod the SD with a cooling plate to get the most benefit

[frosty oriole]

It dropped it by 10°C and I no longer thermal throttle in Helldivers 2.

[sinful cobalt]

hell yeah democracy

[frosty oriole]

It could be more effective, ye, but this is easily revertable, and it's a decent enough difference that I'm happy.

[peak knot]

this is the steam deck cooling mod i did

made it max out at 65C while overclocked

[frosty oriole]

10°C after going through the coldplate, then heatpipe, then thermal pad, then shield can, then other thermal pad, then metal plate, then AIO coldplate that's zip-tied to the Deck without any thermal paste isn't bad at all, lol.

[frosty oriole]

Ay, nice.

[frosty oriole]

What TDP?

[peak knot]

max TDP while plugged in

[rigid fjord]

you did a mod so you can use a larger capacity ssd?

[frosty oriole]

The one after using runtime patcher?

[peak knot]

nah this was the old one before the bios got patched

[frosty oriole]

Oh, dang, okay.

[peak knot]

i moved on to the ROG ally cause it performed better without mods

[frosty oriole]

There was a dude who put a fricken Intel cryo cooler on his Deck.

[frosty oriole]

Ah, ye. Ye, the asymmetrical layout alone makes me not like them, but that's far from the only reason.

[rigid fjord]

for modding a rog ally

[peak knot]

if you want to do some modding on your deck id sell you my old deck for $100 and that would come with 2 dead SDs one modded for extra cooling and one normal one

[tidal geyser]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1145698298020249660/Untitled-82.gif

[rigid fjord]

the older gif

[frosty oriole]

Ye, we'll see. I'm planning on upgrading my current Deck to 34 GB here soon, so that's where my money's going for now.

I'll let ya know, though.

[peak knot]

aight, my modded deck also comes with the hall effect joysticks

honestly you would be getting 2 SDs just no motherboards

[frosty oriole]

Ah, ye.

Are they the Gulikit ones with the outer deadzone issue?

[peak knot]

gulikit

[peak knot]

?

what was the issue?

[frosty oriole]

I tried Gulikit ones and they actually reduced the outer stick range, making them unusable.

[peak knot]

ah no mine once calibrated worked well

[frosty oriole]

Ah, nice.

[peak knot]

you did calibrate them to your deck right

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, I tried calibrating, tried flipping the mode switches, tried everything.

[peak knot]

odd

[frosty oriole]

Was curious if I just got a bad sample, but then I tried my DualShock 3 controller and it has the exact same behaviour.

It's worse on the DS3, actually.

So, I'm almost convinced it's just a HE flaw, but I want to try an 8BitDo controller before I fully rule out hall effects.

[iron glen]

anyone know how the nvidia drivers are rn?

mine keep breaking ig

games are crashing alot

[high elm]

ive downgraded mine to an older version

newest ones wont allow me to play microsoft flight simulator

[iron glen]

i think i'll do that too

i updated them like 2min ago and the preformance has seemingly downgraded

unless they're like shoes and you have to wear them in

[random gyro]

Not really, I know a few that run 1300K/S / 14900K/F on MSI MEG Z690 Unify, Gigabyte Z790 Aero G, MSI Z790 Tomahawk and even Z790 Gaming Plus. 200€ boards (cheapest was 160€ on sale) are fine.

[high elm]

my 13900k works fine in my strix z790-A

6.0 on 2 p cores rest running 5.8 and 4.6 on e cores

5ghz cache

[hollow karma]

Hey guys sorry to drop on

on my pc only my keys left shift and right alt and right ctrl, are acting like they are being held down. And I go into a keyboard checker online and I press one of them and it adds to the amount of presses it’s being held. Can anyone help me?

[candid bolt]

Why is my gpu at 55 degrees when idle???

[iron glen]

how are we supposed to tell from that picture?

also those are pretty normal temps from my experience

mine is 43 idling

[tidal geyser]

why should it not be?

the fans are not spinning

[strange atlas]

Can gpu sag make artifacts cause now artifacts are gone

[tidal geyser]

yes

[strange atlas]

Thank god

But my 2 ports probably burnt when i put something there nothing works

[tidal geyser]

wat??

[strange atlas]

I had heavy heavy gpu sag and apparently my power cable were loose

[hollow karma]

Anyone

[high elm]

no io shield dang

[tidal geyser]

extra cooling

[strange atlas]

It was shutting down every time last time were the last after that didnt open again i had to put something under it to work correctly

[high elm]

lmao

dang its a X99 board

[strange atlas]

Probably your fans doesnt work till 60 celcius and your room is hot

Just like me ha ha

[high elm]

iirc 10 series msi gpus didnt have the zero rpm feature

might be some sort of fan curve issue

[high elm]

i feel like the aio costs more than the cpu by like 4x

[minor glacier]

Guys is this a steal or what

[high elm]

yeah if its legit

[minor glacier]

How can I tell

[high elm]

inspect it when u meet up with the guy

[minor glacier]

Should I get him to do a benchmark

[tidal geyser]

there is no rtx 460

[mint umbra]

Is there really that many ppl switching to Linux

Read somewhere there's a big decline in Windows users

[high elm]

its a 4060 ventus

seems like the seller just pulled it off his prebuilt

and has no clue what it is

searched up rtx “460” and google gave him the GTX460

[wintry mural]

• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro
Listing price is 250 USD , do I get it

[high elm]

gpu itself is worth $175+ yeah its a pretty good deal

[random gyro]

Yes

The CPU is the biggest let down tbh, but even then, it's not awful

[wintry mural]

To what cpu should I upgrade

[random gyro]

hmmmm

[random gyro]

HIghest you can go is an i7 7700k i think

I don't think the mobo supports higher than 7th gen

[wintry mural]

Alright thanks , will keep that in mind

[high elm]

upgrade if you need it imo

[glacial kraken]

I need to buy a new phone for the first time ever

so many options

[random gyro]

Budget?

[glacial kraken]

idk man

[random gyro]

What's got your eye?

[glacial kraken]

none as of the moment as i have a a14 to use untill i get a job

[random gyro]

I see

I got a google pixel 8 pro, and it's pretty good

[glacial kraken]

seen the nothing 3 pro, probably a galaxy tho since i got a galaxy watch

[random gyro]

galaxy watch would work fine with nothing phone

[glacial kraken]

was gonna get another flip but they aren't 500 anymore lol

[random gyro]

but I'm not keen on nothing as they feel less high end

[glacial kraken]

yeah fair

my old phone was a z flip 3

[random gyro]

Personally, I'd say, pixel 9a if you're on a budget.

Otherwise, options are limitless tbh

You could go xioami, oppo, hauwei, there's so many good ones

[glacial kraken]

I mean when i get a job i have 0 expenses so i could get any really

[glacial kraken]

all depends how long i feel like waiting

[random gyro]

I see a lot of one plus atm

[glacial kraken]

i mean i only use my phone for social media, photos (not like good ones) and yk, phone stuff

not gaming or anythign

[random gyro]

Then yeh, tbh, pixel 9a is a good budget phone

[glacial kraken]

yeah

i could also get a flip 6 or whatever its up to bu 1500 is steep

[random gyro]

Eh, the flip gimmick is kinda dead now

I get the point

[glacial kraken]

i liked my flip

[gleaming rose]

nothing is very good

[random gyro]

I wanted a flip phone, but the majority of the time you're gonna open it anyways, and realistically, your phone doesn't take up much pocket space

[random gyro]

I'd class them as high end mid tier phones

[gleaming rose]

I can see them being useful for women

[random gyro]

That's true

[glacial kraken]

my new a14 feels massive in my hand and pocket

[rigid fjord]

i'm dubious on the psu, but no, you could do better

[random gyro]

Women tend to have shallow pockets in trousers and small purses, didn't consider that,

[glacial kraken]

i dont want it to fall out whilst riding to school

[gleaming rose]

I'm going to be honest, I thought of that on the spot, so...

[random gyro]

how old are you?

if you don't mind

[glacial kraken]

15

[random gyro]

I just never have any reason to think of it

[gleaming rose]

you have tiny ass hands

[random gyro]

Yeah, stick with the a14, what's the point in upgrading? You're 15, only use social media.

[glacial kraken]

nah its just bigger than my 14

[glacial kraken]

it is massive

its double the thickness as my old phone

[rigid fjord]

their purse's aint small

[gleaming rose]

I mean I'm 14 and I do tons of shit on my phone

[glacial kraken]

i don't game on my phone

[gleaming rose]

(no gaming though)

[random gyro]

Depends. On the outside, small as hell, but then they manage to pull out everything from their purses. It's magic icl

[random gyro]

At 14, the workload on your phone isn't high, let's be real.

[glacial kraken]

fuck i also gotta get my macbook repaired

[gleaming rose]

I mean

[rigid fjord]

nah, their purse's aint tardis's

[glacial kraken]

batteries fucked even tho it's fairly new

this shits only like 2 and a bit years old

got it january 2023

[gleaming rose]

I've compiled code on here before

[random gyro]

Yes they are, my friend carries a small asf bag around, pulls out her phone, wallet, a bottle of water, make up, earbuds, everything, idk how she fits it all.

[rigid fjord]

average womens purse vs mens wallet

[random gyro]

Yeah but nothing massive, nothing crazy to the point you can class it as high workload.

[glacial kraken]

is it normal to be this bad

[random gyro]

What macbook is it?

M series?

[granite sundial]

pc is too quiet i can hear my hard drives now

[random gyro]

Got my ROG ally arriving shortly 😄

[granite sundial]

think its time to replace them with a 4tb m.2

[distant frigate]

https://www.reddit.com/r/speedtest/s/WxpZwjvCta

[glacial kraken]

yeah

[distant frigate]

5 gig lmao. Nice

[glacial kraken]

m2

[gleaming rose]

install Linux on it

[granite sundial]

is using pcie 1x for storage stupid

[random gyro]

m2 macbook air with that battery? Have you got a battery limiter?

[glacial kraken]

a what

[random gyro]

Nah, i'll be using it for content creation so windows is more ideal.

[glacial kraken]

macbook pro not air

[random gyro]

I do know, that linux is good, no hate

[gleaming rose]

you can run premiere, after effects, and davinci resolve on Linux

[random gyro]

Oh, battery limiter so it only charges to 80%

[glacial kraken]

yeah

well sorta

[gleaming rose]

on my desktop install I use lightroom classic fairly often

[random gyro]

I'll still stick with windows for now, im not confident with linux and don't fancy learning it atm

[random gyro]

No no, not the apple one

[gleaming rose]

ageing is a typo

[glacial kraken]

I gotta send it to apple to get repaired

[random gyro]

There's apps you can get

[glacial kraken]

nah i dont

[random gyro]

https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery

I use this one

[gleaming rose]

this is why thinkpads are better

[random gyro]

If you charge your macbook to 100% all the time, it kills the battery faster as it strains the battery

[random gyro]

Thinkpads are good, yes, but macbooks still take the cake for efficiency

[glacial kraken]

I use my macbook every day for like 8 hours

besides weekend

[random gyro]

Yeah, and if it's plugged in for 8 hours, you'll want an 80% limiter

[gleaming rose]

Don't know why phone manufacturers claim that but then don't clamp the maximum and minimum voltage smaller, that way people don't strain their battery too much.

[random gyro]

It's silly

[glacial kraken]

it isnt plugged in

i charge it at night

[random gyro]

Dude, in 2 years your battery has gone down 23%, you've done something wrong regardless

How many cycles has it done

Go to the apple menu in the top left

System information, then hardware, then power, and look for Cycle count:

[random gyro]

Nope sorry, go to about this mac, more info, scroll down to system report

then under hardware, click pwer

and then cycle count

For example, my macbook m3, has a 108 cycle count in 9 months

my macbook in 9 months has only lost 2% of it's battery capacity

[glacial kraken]

ill check hold up

384

[stray girder]

Is this a good wheel to get

[candid bolt]

It didn't fit

[candid bolt]

The case is the only new thing

[glacial kraken]

@random gyro

[dapper light]

I just bought one 2 days ago kek

[granite sundial]

if cpu temp gets too high it will automatically set all the fans to 100% regardless of the curve set right

[dapper light]

It's good, but I never tried anything better

[random gyro]

damn

77% with 384 cycles

[granite sundial]

way overpriced at jb hifi

[random gyro]

That ain't good lmao, you need a limiter

[glacial kraken]

oh 😭

[granite sundial]

get them to price match to centrecom its only 399 there

jb hifi will price match any australian brick and mortar store or amazon store if its sold by the company

a lot of things are overpriced at jb hifi always take a lot at other places and get a price match

also make sure to use the 30 off for 300+ dollar purchase coupon

[stray girder]

Where do I get that?

[granite sundial]

join as a member and youll get sent the coupon

[thorn cove]

Before I pull the trigger, is this a good purchase?
I might swap out the gpu to a 7800xt since I found a good price near me.
Lastly, is the cpu cooler good enough for this cpu?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2gFJPJ

[granite sundial]

since youve already bought the case the only change id make is the PSU

do not buy that piece of shit its so loud

get an rm750x

[glacial kraken]

is there a way to sync apple music playlist on diff devices?

[thorn cove]

yeah, the one at microcenter had fans so I assumed it came with the fans, the rgb in the name supported that idea......

[granite sundial]

oh no more just the fact that its really expensive

[clear palm]

Looks very noice.
Cooler is more than good enough.
Fan hub is unlikely to be needed since artic fans have a daisy chain feature (check that listing to make sure). I’d also recommend 140mm for case fans if compatible.
CL30 RAM would be optimal but not worth it if it raises the price by more than $20
And yea I doubt that PSU is great

[granite sundial]

with a few tweaks and cheaper case u could have fit a 5070 ti in the budget

yeah the regular p12 has daisy chain, its only the max model that lacks it

[thorn cove]

it was just a 10$ increase from the 32CL variant of that ram

[thorn cove]

I dont exactly have a set budget, but since my gpu option is flexible I am able to reuse my old gpu until I can afford it

the CPU is mainly what I need replaced ASAP

[abstract wigeon]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/MFgjKq need case ideas for this, should be fairly budget friendly as he doesnt want to spend too much just needs something with actual airflow

[granite sundial]

phanteks xt pro ultra is 90 bucks and comes with 4 fans

[thorn cove]

montech makes good stuff for really cheap, the 4000D frame is a great case for 100$

[thorn cove]

what he said

[abstract wigeon]

anything against the montech x3? cheap and comes with 6 fans 🤷‍♂️

ill look into both those though thanks team

[gleaming rose]

wow google, very cool 👍🏻

[gilded harness]

present vs past
same cat different case

i think bro likes sitting/sleeping on it

[abstract wigeon]

i love the north its my pc case atm

[gilded harness]

im trying to buy my north back rn

[abstract wigeon]

whyd you ditch it?
