There is, they're just expensive as shit

He just seems overpriced for not much benefit

[boreal vine]

I personally don't like HE boards

it's overbuilt. sounds like shit majority of the time

[broken perch]

Depends on what games you play. If you are doing Sims alot, its a god send

I jist get a chuckle out of my keyboard, that I made the actuation point super deep, then added custom sounds, so it sounds like a type writer. Why? ... I duno.

[boreal vine]

I'm building my own custom RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

it's going to be a kit people can buy

[empty quartz]

[frail delta]

Not one to be seen @empty quartz

That’s Dr. I’m Always Naked to you

[empty quartz]

Thats it, no more skirt and tights fit checks for you

Go find your own, you aint getting mine

[tidal geyser]

xd

[broken perch]

I mean, only you can answer if its worth it. I would never buy a 5090 for its price alone. Can't see a reason to spend that for its cost to performance

[broken perch]

Very similar to what I presented. Only I had the 4000d frame pc case from corsair, and the 850 seasonic. Personally I've had horrible luck with WD, its why I had those there.

But she wants that case and at least 1000 psu in case she upgrades the gpu down the line.

[tidal geyser]

go with team group mp44l, sadly not on the website

[tidal geyser]

what WD drives

[tidal geyser]

upgrades to what a 5090

[sinful cobalt]

blackwell 6000*

[broken perch]

I can't recall which ones at the time. This was years ago for the wd's. I dont mind leaving the storage blank and just popping over to the store and being like ... "watchu got cletus" as far as drives go.

@tidal geyser

Ill push for her to save a bit on the psu, if even dropping to the 850 seasonic as that would save almost $100 right there. But she won't budge off the case. Apparently she saw a modded one and wants to do something similar with it.

[tidal geyser]

like yeah the rm1000e aint bad as A tier buut even that b- i found is still pretty nice

i would not spend a extra 100$ for a tier and only 150w more

[broken perch]

Agreed. But overall the build is solid for the price, i was actually suprised.

Im'a try and get her to wiggle down on the psu and storage. But she be stubborn

[pale flint]

white bg

[broken perch]

Personally I'm dreading the build a little because she's a bit of a perfectionist. Basically told her I'll make sure it posts, and do a decent job on cable management. But I'm not spending 3 hours on it like I typically would.

According to nvidia, the h200 is 50% more power efficient too

[rigid fjord]

and that's on pcie

[rigid fjord]

[broken perch]

Its pcie, pretty sure

[rigid fjord]

so wrong

[true stirrup]

It's PCI

[broken perch]

Nope you right pci

Old girl there

[boreal vine]

is it summer break for kids already?

[abstract wigeon]

650w good enough for a 3080 build?

[tidal geyser]

i was pingged

[boreal vine]

no

[tidal geyser]

no

[abstract wigeon]

whats the min you can get away with?

[sinful cobalt]

600w absolute min assuming ur not using a bomb

[boreal vine]

imo good quality 750w

[tidal geyser]

ffs

[boreal vine]

otherwise I'd over spec it to 850

30 series has a habit of making PSUs freak the fuck out

with current spikes

[rigid fjord]

750w

[nova lance]

Working on a new build right now and the mobo seems to have a bent pin.
It seems to be the b5 SVC pin, anyone have any experience with that?
Should I just ignore it?
As far as I know top left especially around that area is IO, so worst case scenario it's dp or usb.
(9800X3D, X870 gigabyte eagle)

[true stirrup]

is it bent or broken off?

[nova lance]

Can't really see it in the picture but it's BENT bent haha

[frail delta]

It's winter, dummy

[boreal vine]

nuh uh

[frail delta]

Yuh uh

[boreal vine]

australia doesn't exist

[woeful crown]

Hi everyone! Does anyone here have this (or similar) cheap N100 NAS motherboard and is using it as NAS with RAID? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006374540503.html

I am planning to build dyi NAS and I see this board as very good choice for quiet and low-power consuption NAS that can in addition support few 1080p Plex transcodes and Home Assistant service.

[frail delta]

Nuh uh

[boreal vine]

what the fuck is australia anyways 🗣️

[woeful crown]

I am just little worried about it being an AliExpress China board 😄 But I was not able to find similar configuration (with multigig NIC and 4-6 SATA controller) from more reputable brands.

[frail delta]

It's fine

[woeful crown]

Yeah, but bad quality switch will not blow out all your NAS backups 😄

[frail delta]

Well you have a copy stored elsewhere anyway 🙂

[tidal geyser]

3 2 1

i nuked some of my stuff by accident but since i did 3 2 1 i still have it

[woeful crown]

I have, but still. Getting 4TB of data from cold storage or from my parent's slow QNAP NAS is can cost me more money or time than spending little more on better hw

[frail delta]

I trust that Chinesium more than $10k datto siris appliances

[tidal geyser]

ngl if the data is important enough i would have a basic small NAS local

as in 1 big boy main with lots of data that is not as important that can backup offsite and then a local one that does not have a lot of space but important stuff or in works stuff can be backed up to

[boreal vine]

someone reached out to us yapping about datto btw

[frail delta]

I hope you told them to run

[boreal vine]

somethign about Datto itsm

they were an idiot anyways

They wanted an itsm solution to piggy back off datto

which doesn't make a single ounce of sense

[woeful crown]

But so, overall, N100/N150 good choice you think? I plan to have 4 drives RAID

[boreal vine]

but these are some of the lunatic you'd see on the job

[boreal vine]

yeah they're good, look at zima boards

they do pretty decent all in one solutions

[frail delta]

Fuck. Ing. Datto.

[boreal vine]

while we're on the topic of hating, ninja could go die too

that and freshworks

[woeful crown]

Do they do N100 cpus? I see just some shit celerons

[frail delta]

Their new probably even worse backup option is incredibly cheap

Sub $1/endpoint with "unlimited" storage

They must just be pretending to store the data

USD

[boreal vine]

some of them have n1100 cpu

[boreal vine]

imaginary back up

[frail delta]

As a part of Kaseya 365. So $2.20 USD includes Datto RMM 🤮 Datto EDR 🤮 and "unlimited" backup

[tidal geyser]

raid z1 or what

[boreal vine]

Kaseya

[frail delta]

I like my classic VSA 9 Kaseya. Polished crap

They haven't even bothered to polish these turds

[boreal vine]

just use intune like a real based mf (it's going to get axed in like 2 years)

[frail delta]

Intune alongside an RMM

Unless you're planning on buying Teamviewer licenses

They're two seperate tools

[boreal vine]

Maybe, but you already have windows remote desktop

🤫

[frail delta]

The $4/month Intune remote support thing?

[boreal vine]

idk how it's priced butyeah

it's using that new remote help app

[frail delta]

$3.68USD per user

Crazy

[boreal vine]

not that bad tbh, how much does it cost for RMM licenses no adays

[frail delta]

We pay $1/month/endpoint for VSA9/X

USD unfortunately

[boreal vine]

I'm sure they'll do bulk pricing for it / heavy discount

[frail delta]

Techs Together does VSA9/X with a base bitdefender license with no commit for $2/month

[tidal geyser]

knew it

[boreal vine]

3.68 is per month right?

[frail delta]

Yes

[boreal vine]

but that's an addon if you're on plan 1

if you have the intune suite it's already free no?

[frail delta]

m365maps time

[boreal vine]

i'd rather have splashtop tbh

just look at that logo

makes u wanna nut

[frail delta]

Biz premium comes with intune plan 1, it'd be an extra $4

[sharp rose]

what exactly is a PLS screen

[frail delta]

E5 also only comes with intune plan 1, so it's an extra $4 no matter what

yep

[gloomy sleet]

is asetek going under?

their stock just plummeted

[lethal bay]

Their patent expired or some shit I think

Or is about to

[frail delta]

"just"?

You're a bit behind the times bud

[gloomy sleet]

i am

if so good riddance

[frail delta]

The more you zoom out the more they were doomed

[gloomy sleet]

in the last 5 days

[lethal bay]

idk if <2% is considered plummeting but

[gloomy sleet]

if they are going under good

[tidal geyser]

asatek is still the largest producer of pre-made computer water cooling parts

[sinful cobalt]

assetek

[gloomy sleet]

that’s only because they have an aggressive patent on pumps

you think of a water pump and you get a £500 fine from asetek

[stoic nova]

Pumps are better under where a fan hub would be tbh.

Would call this a hot take but water coolers lol

[gloomy sleet]

everyone has to buy aios from asetek because they can’t make their own lmao

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1372154269695873075 - if anyone is smart with drivers and LAN things 💜

[gloomy sleet]

reminds me of them trying to patent force feedback wheelbases

[gloomy sleet]

you can’t just patent and entire industry and get away with it

[tidal geyser]

at least as of yet

[stoic nova]

You should patent something then

[gloomy sleet]

it’s like patenting the engine and then charging 5x as much as it cost to make to car makers

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

there was a reason why some of em did not follow the patent as in did not give a fuck and still made it

[gloomy sleet]

i guess in like a couple months they’ll be overthrown

[tidal geyser]

months?

more like a year

[gloomy sleet]

idk

that’s assuming someone else doesn’t patent the basic idea of water

[tidal geyser]

first they need to design then product at a large scale and all of this while testing and also being a brand new thing they do

[gloomy sleet]

fair

[gloomy sleet]

for reference this is like patenting the keyboard

[stoic nova]

If vaux ever made a product he sure as shit wouldn't be this philanthropist with it

[frail delta]

That sure is a massive if

[stoic nova]

The uncertainty in the hypothetical 💀

Man

[full gulch]

Okay just to be safe, can I dust my PC with canned air. Asking cuz I just did my side panels and I thought I saw some condensation? Although it disappeared within like a second or two.

[silent shadow]

That’s normal

[stoic nova]

Hold can up straight

[full gulch]

Is it alright if some of it might end up on my mobo? It'll have enough time to dry since I have to wait for a replacement AIO

[stoic nova]

Sure. Evaporates quickly anyway

It's just CO2

[full gulch]

Ahhh okay, cool thx

[frail delta]

No, it’s not

Not at all

[full gulch]

Oh

[stoic nova]

Idk what's in it

[full gulch]

Hmmmm

[stoic nova]

Fair guess id say

[frail delta]

hydrocarbons of some sort

It’s refrigerant

[full gulch]

I mean, idc what it is as long as it's safe to use on my PC lol

[silent shadow]

Switch two boxes and reservations are now out lol

[frail delta]

It’s safe for computer parts. It’s horrible for humans and the earth

[silent shadow]

Yeah canned air is compressed refrigerant basically

[lethal bay]

I can’t believe people actually want this shit lmao

[silent shadow]

If you flip it upside down you’ll get a spray of cold liquid

[full gulch]

I'm going to get one of those electric ones cuz yeah aerosols, but don't have the money rn

[stoic nova]

$30 electric duster worthy investment

[frail delta]

Which you shouldn’t touch**

Datavac metrovac oh nvm

Oi sim

Remember the motherboard i was sending yesterday with the broken pins

[tidal geyser]

yea

[tardy badger]

It works completely fine

[tidal geyser]

yeay

[tardy badger]

I ran like 5 stress tests

Im so happy bruh 🙏

[tidal geyser]

9 times out of 10 just booting into windows means the pin did nothing

well at least nothing meaningful

funny thing we had a guy in here today too that had done so

on am5 too

[tardy badger]

I guess am5 mobos are tougher

But im happy i got lucky and it works completely

[tidal geyser]

but then we also had a guy yesterday with lga 1200 that had NUKED his socket semi on purpose ish kinda, anyways he asked if it could be repaired but that kind no

[tardy badger]

LMAOOOO

Can am5 mobos be fixed?

[tidal geyser]

ofc

[tardy badger]

I did not know that

[digital sparrow]

https://buildcores.com/builds/atbLgq went into buildcores with some parts i found to yk make a pc would this work well?

[gloomy sleet]

i used to sell stuff

[random gyro]

thats a bit harsh

[sinful cobalt]

also depends when ur 1500 aud pc was built

i rarely use it and i have a laptop for work needs

game such as nba2k and others that i want to play r dead on pc anyway so im consdiering selling the pc

[tidal geyser]

worth about 800AUD

[random gyro]

so the guy is a fucking crackhead

[frail delta]

What a sucker paying $1500 for that

I'd say there's a pretty high chance that's a scam

[sinful cobalt]

“$694 usd= $1500 aud” my ass

[random gyro]

according to where though

[tidal geyser]

ok not 800AUD god AUD is shit

[frail delta]

Maybe $900 AUD new

[random gyro]

what

[tidal geyser]

i was thinking USD not aud with this

[tidal geyser]

tbf its ddr5

[digital sparrow]

just to make sure would this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8Hszsp be better then my current pc it has 16gb ram a 3070 and a ryzen 7 5800 8 core im l

im sure it is

[random gyro]

how much could i sell it for

[digital sparrow]

but im new but still is better

[tidal geyser]

if possible i would try that guy for 1600

but i would not pay more then 1000AUD or so

[frail delta]

https://www.bpctech.com.au/catalog/product/view/id/129290/

1149AUD/1.1 (to take off tax) is 1044AUD

[random gyro]

if not?

[tidal geyser]

and this is brand new

[frail delta]

Yes

[random gyro]

thats got a 5500

[tidal geyser]

ew r5 5500

[sinful cobalt]

is aud really that fucked that $700 usd build is $1500 aud

[frail delta]

Which is equivalent for the purposes of this comparison

[tidal geyser]

not even close

[frail delta]

Yesn't. It all sort of works itself out

[random gyro]

what r u on

[random gyro]

brother no one cares

[tidal geyser]

i would try and lower it to 1200AUD as that is around the max price i can see myself going for if its in GOOD con

[digital sparrow]

Ts is what im working with not very good looking and no glass side panel so its all black

[random gyro]

im just trying to get a rough idea on my build not a prebuilt pos

[random gyro]

it is basically brand new

so 1200 alright thanks

[tidal geyser]

its so hard to get a real idea of what it should go for

[sinful cobalt]

australia is not real bro

[random gyro]

ill keep it at 1800 but ill probably only go to around 1400 lowest

[tidal geyser]

but ngl it has like 1000USD worth of parts or at least around there worth of performance but not really in the places i would go for but i dono

[tidal geyser]

its not worth 1800

[random gyro]

ik

[tidal geyser]

not even new

[random gyro]

im just putting it for higher

[random gyro]

KI is where everyone goes after they retire dumbfk

[frail delta]

Of course it's Toowoomba

[random gyro]

3000 is wild

[tidal geyser]

cash only

[frail delta]

Pretty shit place to retire if you ask me

[random gyro]

yea thats fake

[latent gull]

Ddr4 on 14th gen is wild

[tidal geyser]

intel stock cooler

[random gyro]

i meant most of the people there have gone there to retire not everyone from sa

[random gyro]

it is

[latent gull]

Tbh I never realized it was a real place and only thought it was a pasta dish

[frail delta]

I think I broke it

[tidal geyser]

no its just shit

[sinful cobalt]

this is why u dont look on a shit platform

[frail delta]

What do you suggest? Should I look on the in the classifieds in the newspaper?

[latent gull]

The local postings board

[frail delta]

$2500 including a monitor

[tidal geyser]

xd

at least he is using the most stable driver

[frail delta]

The monitor in question

Maybe it includes both?

Bud didn't even bother pretending to clean it

[ripe spire]

Huh

[thin plover]

[left dove]

choco chippy pancakes!!

shareshareshareshareshare

[elder quarry]

O:

[next hill]

anything i should look for when getting a usb hub?

[elder quarry]

Nom

[left dove]

get a powered one

[elder quarry]

Green

Or red

[left dove]

tf are you on about

[tidal geyser]

no blue better

jk noclue what E is on about

[next hill]

purple

[elder quarry]

But blue is usb 3

[tidal geyser]

not always

[elder quarry]

Yeah

[abstract wigeon]

what wrong with usb 3 what

[elder quarry]

Anyway what devices will you connect through it

[next hill]

for now just keyboard mouse and controller.

i want a hub in first place cause the monitor one doesnt work properly

[tidal geyser]

did you turn it on, did you plug it in?

https://tenor.com/view/sayaw-dancing-danc-dance-gif-16011329613171544950

[next hill]

i works fine, but if have more than 1 device, for example have a keyboard and mouse, the mouse freezes up and have to disconnect and reconnect, like 5 seconds of using it go by and its frozen again

[tidal geyser]

aaa

[next hill]

its probably just the monitor hub configuration issue that i wouldnt be able to fix

monitor is gigabyte m27q if need

[left dove]

did you plug the upstream cable into the monitor and the pc

because monitor usb hubs dont work off of the video cable

[next hill]

well ofc bruh, how would it connect then

[left dove]

idk man some people are fuckin' stupid

it's also this server

[next hill]

ive got the monitor power, usb b upstream and an hdmi connected

[left dove]

I'm assuming you tried different ports on the pc

[next hill]

• keyboard which works all fine if plugged alone

[next hill]

yeah all 3

[left dove]

well

it sounds like it's a usb power issue, but monitor hubs have their own integrated 5v supply, so idk honestly

sec ill link you to a nice hub that ive got

[next hill]

well idk how it wouldnt get enough power, rgb isnt that crazy power hungry

[left dove]

usb2 is rated 500ma

usb3 is rated 1a

[next hill]

its all usb 3

[left dove]

https://www.amazon.com/SABRENT-10-Port-Individual-Switches-Adapter/dp/B0797NZFYP

[next hill]

ah, sabrent, i got a usb c one from them for my deck

[left dove]

powered hub, individually switched, $45

[next hill]

oh hell nah

[left dove]

yeah I have their all metal 16 port one, its great

[next hill]

45 for a usb hub, and also when i cant even use amazon

[left dove]

idk what to tell youuuuu

[next hill]

well i paid similar for the usb c one but its usb c and lots of different ports so thats different

this one i got for the deck

[left dove]

i paid $90 for https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KHRLSTT

[next hill]

idk what monster would need so much

[left dove]

but that was 2 years ago before they started splitting up the company

[left dove]

hi, me!

[next hill]

for what bruh

[left dove]

well, flight sims. Also comes in handy for transferring files between external disks

[next hill]

mmm, only controller i had was just a regular ps controller

[left dove]

its literally just my desk dock

[next hill]

never seen a flight sim irl and not used a wheel ever

[lean heron]

why do u have 3 phones

[left dove]

well, flight sim takes at minimum 5 usb ports, 6 when I get rudder pedals

i have like, 5 phones. Only one is active as mine, another runs a private number for private things

the others just kinda sit there as tinkering devices

Peyton is buying crack

[left dove]

I'd rather mainline caffeine powder

[next hill]

maybe this would be good enough if get similar to yours

[frail delta]

So much USB

[next hill]

also theres the thing that maybe i should not get the hub and just wait. if money right i might get my first build around fall (hope gpu price not go boom till then)

[frail delta]

:p

[next hill]

bruh

also talking about the monitor, gigabyte seems to hate the computer i have

their monitor app doesnt work, says to connect cable and doesnt detect its connected

[frail delta]

Fuck Apple for not letting me remove old SIMs from the settings screen

[dapper light]

when that single line fixed everything

specifically the control param

adding that fixed shit but it's not even used in the code

hence it's dark

[gleaming rose]

finally figured out psylocker

[boreal vine]

this guy poppin off lowkey

[gleaming rose]

he was yeah

but i have never played that well in my whole ass life

[boreal vine]

is marvel rivals still active these days @gleaming rose

[gleaming rose]

yea very

[boreal vine]

don't really hear much of it these days but maybe because I don't really follow anyone particularly into it

[gleaming rose]

casual q is like 3 seconds and ranked is about 1 minute

[boreal vine]

oh neat

[gleaming rose]

way better than valorant

[boreal vine]

I have tried playing it, but I don't like 3rd person shoots :p

[gleaming rose]

play blackwidow

[boreal vine]

also ue5

[gleaming rose]

or whatever the gun lady is called

[boreal vine]

I have, the only one I enjoyed playing was iron man

it's just not the game for me I don't think

[gleaming rose]

fair ngl

i usually play with friends but i decided to fly solo today and locked tf in

[boreal vine]

hell yeah

it's weird thouhg because the same thing happens to me

[chrome remnant]

Is it safe to buy a cpu off AliExpress?

[boreal vine]

when I play solo, I become an absolute god, but when i'm with friends, it's like I get hella nerfed

[boreal vine]

yeah it's safe, but excericise caution and only buy from sellers with good rating and have been established for long

There's alot of "pop up" stores who's only been around for like a couple of months, not delivering on anything

[chrome remnant]

Oh right ok

[boreal vine]

while yes, ali express does refund you like amazon does, but they don't refund you direct to card they do vouches

[gleaming rose]

they do both

[boreal vine]

what I'm trying to say is that excercise caution, always check seller, and if it's too good to be true

[gleaming rose]

i've gotten refunds to cards before, they let you pick

[boreal vine]

I had like 3 issues, all of them were refunded by voucher :p

didn't even give me a choice

[gleaming rose]

do you use the app's built in refund thing?

it always gives me a choice

[boreal vine]

Yeah got in contact with an agent and all

[gleaming rose]

i guess it may depend on the product

[boreal vine]

oh well

I'm done with aliexpress anyways

XY and an agent is where it is at

[gleaming rose]

[boreal vine]

I'm already getting financially fucked by keyboards

[somber galleon]

Hi, why does this cable that came with my new aircooler that is meant to connect the 2 cooling fans to the motherboard only have 3 pins on one fan plug but 4 on the other?

[sinful cobalt]

man AMD today is on a spree, +6% stonks

[gleaming rose]

probably has something to do with the buyback plan

[sinful cobalt]

(i say as intel proceeds to lose 3%)

[robust trail]

I would like to see my stonks go stonk more

[boreal vine]

it is the buy back plan doing magic

[robust trail]

a

[boreal vine]

@robust trail how did u feel after the massive drop last month

[robust trail]

I hold

[boreal vine]

also look dude

I've bought / made another keyboard 😄

[robust trail]

this ESPP purchase was instantly worth almost 10x what I paid, I'd like to see it continue to grow 🙂

[boreal vine]

[sinful cobalt]

I am the bone of my sword

[boreal vine]

Also working on my very own keyboard 😄

split spacebar afair

[robust trail]

I did sell some shares a few weeks ago to clear out last quarter's credit card purchases lol but I'm still holding enough to have a personal SHTF, I need to pay off my mortgage and hunker down for a year or two.

[boreal vine]

60% with good binding I'd argue even better than TKL

[gloomy sleet]

if you make them do 2 different keystrokes thats a game changer

[sinful cobalt]

so far my 2.9k sgd investment went to like 3.6k

[boreal vine]

since I don't need to life my hand to press / access nav cluster

[gloomy sleet]

not enough buttons imo

75% is perfect for me

[boreal vine]

most 75% looks mad ugly icl

[gloomy sleet]

no F row is a massive reason i dont like 60%

[sinful cobalt]

i love using the 80he lol

it feels so natural

[gloomy sleet]

ive used 65% before and its fine but the extra buttons just add so much

[robust trail]

that ESPP turned into around 1100 shares, something like $10k that cycle purchased at $11 and instantly worth $119. I love it. I want more of it.

[boreal vine]

the binding for that board

[gloomy sleet]

<@&750150305383186585>

[sinful cobalt]

(im a beginner i have no idea what that means)

[clear oasis]

It’s interesting how your a scammer

[gloomy sleet]

nice

[robust trail]

I work for NVIDIA, we get a discount on buying shares through a company program

[boreal vine]

the FN layer is 💪

Maximising space without suffering

[gloomy sleet]

most 60% boards ive seen use FN+Shift for the F row

[boreal vine]

(atleast not that much)

[gloomy sleet]

so FN+shift+1 does F1 eg

[boreal vine]

FN + 1 = f1

[gloomy sleet]

thats much better

[boreal vine]

on my config / board

[gloomy sleet]

id much prefer that over fn+shift+X number

[boreal vine]

no need for toggle, but you can always do a layer swap if you feel like it

fn + wast is your up down left right buttons

fn Q is your home button and fn E is your End, navigating to start of words or end of words better

Page up and down is fn R or fn F

simple 🤷‍♀️

[gloomy sleet]

my 75% has FN+I as insert and FN+E as end and thats all ive made for it FN layer wise

[sinful cobalt]

Ohh I see

[boreal vine]

I don't like 75%

[sinful cobalt]

upshift downshift o shi-

[boreal vine]

I hacked the stock firmware on this one and flashed my own VIA compatible one

[gloomy sleet]

lmao

[boreal vine]

makes editing the layout so much easier

[rigid fjord]

tbf, usb2 devices can draw up to 900ma

[robust trail]

there we go, a little RAM upgrade on the new NAS should help with VM performance

[frail delta]

As god intended

[boreal vine]

waste of space like the people who adamantly defends this fuck ass layout

[frail delta]

Easy access to numpad!

[sinful cobalt]

this is hella useless for pure gaming icl

[boreal vine]

💔 🥀

alteast pick something more useful and less of a waste of mouse space

[frail delta]

Thank goodness I’m not pure gaming at my computer

[frail delta]

You don’t need a mouse when you’re a freak in the sheets

[boreal vine]

I'm barely gaming on my computer and I still wouldn't use a 100%

[sinful cobalt]

my itx setup has a 104% for excel and word lmao

(im not the user)

[marble chasm]

Whats the extra 4%

[frail delta]

That’s not 100%

[sinful cobalt]

thats a good question

[frail delta]

Actually never mind it is

It just looks smaller

[boreal vine]

this is what I use for work

barely have to lift my finger

everything I need outside of whatever is there is bound underneath layer 1 with fn key

[frail delta]

No numpad
No right alt

NO DELETE KEY????

[boreal vine]

bruh fuck is your obsession with numpad 😭 just get a v21 holyshit

[boreal vine]

btw

[frail delta]

Should’ve gone to specsavers

[frail delta]

That take up more room

[boreal vine]

no it wont

if you're really that bothered about numpads just have that on the right hand side of your setup

[frail delta]

Why would I when it can be conveniently attached to the rest of my keyboard

[boreal vine]

because you can place it anywhere

[frail delta]

But I don’t want it anywhere else

[boreal vine]

I don't even see the point in numpads like holy shit the fixation boomers have on it is crazy

[frail delta]

For phone numbers and excel

[boreal vine]

yeah because fuck using these things

[frail delta]

Numpad is much faster

[boreal vine]

it's about the same and I'd argue that this is faster

[frail delta]

I hate how the numpad doesn’t work in nano

[frail delta]

Maybe with two hands

Certainly not with one

[boreal vine]

yeah as you should be typing with two hands

[abstract wigeon]

minimum amount of keys for a usable keyboard

65% grrrr

wait i stand corrected theres no F keys its unusable

[frail delta]

Sometimes it’s easier to be holding something else/writing and also being able to type

[boreal vine]

the minimum for me is ansi 60% or HHKB otherwise it's just useless

[abstract wigeon]

60% yuck

[boreal vine]

then you're typing wrong

[frail delta]

With one hand…

[boreal vine]

hating 60% 💔 🥀 so unique

[frail delta]

I mean with one hand

[boreal vine]

one hand is inefficient

[abstract wigeon]

may as well just use a numpad rebound to letters

[frail delta]

If I am on the phone, and need to type something, I am going to be using one hand

[boreal vine]

just like how your mama likes it, it's a two handed job

[abstract wigeon]

im not gonna try and defend numpads though

[boreal vine]

then literally any keyboard is like that tf

[abstract wigeon]

i use a 100% keyboard js cus its what i have

i do love the media keys though

[frail delta]

Typing numbers with one hand is much faster with a numpad than without

[boreal vine]

or you could do this you fucking melt @frail delta

[frail delta]

Horrible for your posture

Yes I know posture is a scam
I like being grumpy

[true warren]

A very dead 1060

[boreal vine]

better yet

[frail delta]

Ew wired.
Ew 2.5mm connector

[rigid fjord]

nope

[abstract wigeon]

i have something like that but rj45

[frail delta]

I think you mean RJ11

[abstract wigeon]

yeah maybe

[rigid fjord]

if you're typing one handed, you're definitely not on a phone

[digital sparrow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8Hszsp does anyone have a other cpu cooler the one im using rn is just to big

[abstract wigeon]

get the non X and stock cool it 🤷‍♂️

or theres those high end itx coolers noctua makes

[frail delta]

I often find myself on the phone needing to type, so it ends up being me typing one handed

[boreal vine]

toplime is massive w@nker tbf

[frail delta]

Fuck you Eva

[boreal vine]

Fuck you TopSlop

[plain cypress]

Is that supposed to be an insult or compliment

[frail delta]

Yes

[boreal vine]

Maybe

[boreal vine]

Topslop is my unfortunate australian friend

oh we talking about keyboards? i just got a new one and it arrived today 😍

oh hi rauko

[boreal vine]

what did you get

[frail delta]

See @boreal vine this is definitely too big

[ripe spire]

call me basic but i got a keychron q3 max

[boreal vine]

mine arrived yesterday as well as I'm dailying my prototype board

[frail delta]

Mine is perfectly sized

[abstract wigeon]

how else are you fitting a numpad

100% keyboard is 100% keyboard

[boreal vine]

ohh nice TKL ❤️

Much smaller.

[abstract wigeon]

its just got less girth

[ripe spire]

yesss, huge upgrade from my previous K2

sounds absolutely beautiful

makes my K2 sound like it came straight out of someones bin (trash can for americans)

[boreal vine]

twinning

[ripe spire]

why the massive gap between ur escape and f1 key

[boreal vine]

they're aight just need a little bit of work

[gloomy sleet]

98% keyboards are small as hell too

[frail delta]

She’s crazy

[boreal vine]

it's not that amssive

[gloomy sleet]

if you want numpad id defo go for a 98%

unless you have infinite desk space

[boreal vine]

@ripe spire I'm also using this right now as we speak:

[gloomy sleet]

its an entire keys gap

[ripe spire]

awwww is that a 65%?

[gloomy sleet]

you could fit a key there lol

[ripe spire]

what does the menu mean

[frail delta]

Oui

[gloomy sleet]

windows?

i assume its just right windows

[boreal vine]

no just a 60 with split spacebar, I'm going to make / sell kits 🙂

[gloomy sleet]

65% is a 60% with an f row iirc

[ripe spire]

yeah lmao, my f keys on this keyboard are slightly shifted to the left as between my f12 and the key to the right of that i have the knob

[boreal vine]

menu technically opens a menu

[gloomy sleet]

what one??

[frail delta]

It’s the menu key

[ripe spire]

i didnt even see ther split spacebar lmao, idk why i immediately saw the menu key before i saw the split spacebar, thats so weird lmao, i just saw 5 keys to the right of what i thought was the spacebar and double checked lmao

[gloomy sleet]

what menu is it opening lmao

[ripe spire]

what kind of menu

[frail delta]

It opens the right click context menu

[ripe spire]

yes i have a similar gap on my keyboard between escape and f1 as to the right of my f12 key is the knob

[boreal vine]

technically acts the same way as a right click tbh

[gloomy sleet]

odd

[ripe spire]

ohh

[gloomy sleet]

never seen that before

[frail delta]

Common on older keyboards

[boreal vine]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_key

[sinful cobalt]

m o d e

[boreal vine]

idk how to explain it further,

@sinful cobalt didn't you swap for an E white KBD fans case?

[sinful cobalt]

this is it

[boreal vine]

kbdfan cases so ass icl them corners are way too sharp

I've got a 60% tofu and I've always hated the corners on them

[sinful cobalt]

the corners on the gt80 are rounded

[boreal vine]

example PSD60

even

[boreal vine]

I'm going to get this next

[sinful cobalt]

the holy 60

[boreal vine]

yeah

[sinful cobalt]

i heard it has shit sound since theres nothing to pass through

[ripe spire]

huh, never seen that before

[boreal vine]

perfect for plateless builds

[ripe spire]

anyone know of a wrist rest for my new keyboard that is rather tall, like im talking a solid 3 cm tall and maybe like 36cm long?

[rigid fjord]

i've seen it regularly

[gleaming rose]

I want a modern mechanical board with this key and the sysq key

I guess I just need a 100% QMK board

or a tkl

[gleaming rose]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key

[ripe spire]

https://www.keychron.uk/products/keychron-silicone-palm-rest?variant=46094129529002
keychrons own one is about 1.2cm too short for my preferences

i like my wrist rest to take me all the way up to the height of the keys not just the height of the keyboards body

[boreal vine]

or just reprogram it using VIA / QMK to have that

QMK allows for custom inputs @gleaming rose

[gleaming rose]

yeah but I want a fullsize anyways

bruh what are these prices

[gleaming rose]

my cat killed a chipmunk
fucking noob

(the chipmunk, not the cat)

nvm that MF was playing dead lmaooo

[whole garden]

was it Alvin?

[gleaming rose]

I wish

[gilded sparrow]

this reaction concerns me deeply

[gleaming rose]

It's the circle of life, man. Cats are natural hunters. Gotta be proud of them when they kill their own food so we don't have to feed them as much.

But yeah, the chipmunk escaped and ran up the gutter and he's currently struggling very loudly right now. It's hilarious. He's squeaking around in there.

[gilded sparrow]

but jes ur pet

[gleaming rose]

look at this moron

[gleaming rose]

yes the cat is my pet and I'm happy that he's hunting

[gilded sparrow]

no i mean the fucking chipmunk

[gleaming rose]

The chipmunk isn't my pet.

[gilded sparrow]

ok nvm then FUCK THAT CHIPMUNK

[gleaming rose]

bitch ass running away

[raw olive]

hello

[robust trail]

well it's official, I've run out of space to store GPUs

[raw olive]

oh hi mark

[gleaming rose]

Had to help my cat catch him. He ran up into the gutter so I waterboarded his ass.

[fickle ivy]

I've got a 3rd gen i7 laptop

[robust trail]

Oh hai

[raw olive]

based on my wife's opinion i should not be storing engine oil in the fridge. So technically i am out of space for my stuff too

[fickle ivy]

Is it worth spending the extra money for an m.2 nvme SSD or should I just get a 2.5" data ssd

[boreal vine]

m.2 is the way, unless you have no available slots

it's significantly faster than sata and takes up less volume / space

[fickle ivy]

But would it be bottlenecked by my old CPU?

[raw olive]

technically correct but if youre using the space only for games, not a big difference in load times. nothing average joe can notice anyway

[boreal vine]

no...

[fickle ivy]

Oh okay

[tidal geyser]

i would still WAY rather go nvme over sata

[boreal vine]

why bother, it's not like sata is 50% cheaper

[raw olive]

sing it with me kids
bottleneck depends on the application
bottleneck depends on the application
bottleneck is purely based on what youre doing with the fucking computer

[boreal vine]

i'd agree with you if it is, but they're literally priced almost the same majority of the time

[tidal geyser]

and games are starting to be able to use NVMEs too

[raw olive]

yeah, if you got slots you go nvme

[boreal vine]

exactly :p

[raw olive]

if you find sata for very cheap (from a reputable brand of course) you slap it

bulk storage is bulk storage

[boreal vine]

I'm going to do a 4x 1tb sata SSDs realllll soon

[fickle ivy]

It's just a general use office laptop, with an i7 3rd gen

Might use it for light gaming but mostly just stuff in chrome

[raw olive]

just make sure its an ssd

youll be fine

[high lance]

what is the best am5 mobo around 250 im not talking the cheapest but the best

[fickle ivy]

And the boot times with the 2.5" hard drive

[raw olive]

general use will make you miserable if youre booting from a hdd

9/*

[boreal vine]

@fickle ivy are you certain that the laptop supports m.2 nvme SSD?

[raw olive]

oops wiping keyboard

[fickle ivy]

And it has an m.2 slot so I don't understand why they didn't just put an m.2 ssd

[minor cove]

Best is subjective or rather depends on the qualities you value, only siths deal in absolutes

[raw olive]

also yes you could be getting deceived, what youre looking at might not be NVME

[tidal geyser]

on computers its ALWAYS nvme well mostly ALWAYS nvme m.2 slot

[boreal vine]

@fickle ivy double check the slots on that m.2 slot

[raw olive]

can you send a picture of the sticker under the laptop or type the model down

[fickle ivy]

Not 100% but pretty sure this is a 110 m.2 slot

[tidal geyser]

o its laptop

ok welp what cpu

[tidal geyser]

[fickle ivy]

Msata?

[tidal geyser]

[boreal vine]

it's not nvme, it's m sata

[raw olive]

msata goofy ahh slot

[tidal geyser]

its just m.2 sata

[fickle ivy]

Shiiiiitt

[tidal geyser]

also tf is going on there

[fickle ivy]

Guess I'll go with a 2.5" drive as their likely cheaper

[raw olive]

youre going sata homeboy

[boreal vine]

you won't be able to use nvme m.2 ssds, you can only use sata m.2 ssds

[fickle ivy]

Wifi card

[boreal vine]

and tbh, fuck sata m.2

[abstract wigeon]

any ideas why pubg takes seconds to boot up for me but literally 10 minutes for my dad? we are both running it off an an nvme drive

[raw olive]

all my homies hate msata

[tidal geyser]

oy i have a 1tb of that

[boreal vine]

fucking piece of shit so expensive for no reason as it was an interim tech

[oblique jay]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9ZmHLc
Budget of £1100-£1200, no case is needed as my buddy already has a corsair 4000d airflow, hows the list looking? Any parts he can save on / change

[tidal geyser]

the msata slot looks like this

[fickle ivy]

Last time I took a gamble on whether a slot in my old motherboard was an m.2 it paid out

[tidal geyser]

its not hard

[fickle ivy]

Was running a 512gb pcie gen 3 m.2 SSD with my 6th gen i5

[boreal vine]

fuck ass sata to m.sata faf

[gleaming rose]

only needs a 650w psu

[tidal geyser]

m.2 is just m.2, if you cant tell a difference get help

[fickle ivy]

The boot times 🙏

[oblique jay]

No room for upgrades in the future

[fickle ivy]

12 seconds from off to windows

[tidal geyser]

msata and m.2 slot are very very destinct

[gleaming rose]

not true

[raw olive]

looks fine to me, i'd upgrade the gpu if budget allows. also overspending on the psu yeah

[gleaming rose]

hardware is getting more efficient

[tidal geyser]

oooo look desktop msata

[boreal vine]

@oblique jay the only thing I'd advise against are those fans

[oblique jay]

Any other recommendations?

[boreal vine]

those fans are fucking straight up ass my guy

[oblique jay]

I didn't pick them, someone else suggested em

Either way what psu would be fine and gives a little headroom if necessary

[fickle ivy]

Ew

[boreal vine]

let me find it for u @oblique jay

[oblique jay]

Thanks

[boreal vine]

@oblique jay https://amzn.to/4j8KflX here you go

there's some 140 x3 and 120 x3 versions of it

but good fans, nice performance and ez to cable manage

[oblique jay]

Double the price tho

[boreal vine]

i'd also change the PSU from 1000x but honestly no need

[oblique jay]

But Ig if he can save on the psu then its fine

[raw olive]

they cheap

[boreal vine]

cheap and shit 💔 🥀

pushes fuck all air and is loud as fuck

[raw olive]

yeah just run em slow

[oblique jay]

Yeah I did say the 1000 was overkill but that's what someone suggested, and I havent got a clue about psus 😂

[boreal vine]

I mean it's about the same price as the 850 so might as well go for it

but overall, good parts selection @oblique jay

i'd only change the fans ❤️

[gilded sparrow]

<@&750150305383186585> one of yal dm please

[oblique jay]

[gilded sparrow]

@tidal geyser

[gleaming rose]

They don't moderate DMs.

He's wanting to buy the stuff now so that would be great 🙏

[boreal vine]

[gleaming rose]

Yeah, but when I asked them, they said they don't do that.
