[tidal geyser]

trust 100

[azure topaz]

just remake it yo 😭

[junior valve]

use your teeth

[azure topaz]

nooo

[tidal geyser]

windows 11 is free

[boreal vine]

u when u press update haha

[junior valve]

nibbles around the glue and pull it off

[azure topaz]

dental floss and a clothes iron works on am5

[tidal geyser]

windows has even been free to use and download since i think even as old as 98

[finite plover]

And i was just done installing everything😔

[azure topaz]

whelp round 2 have fun

[boreal vine]

icba upgrade

i cba upgrading, i'm going to lose my perf tweaks if i update to 11

[azure topaz]

"perf tweaks" and my computer is still faster

[tidal geyser]

you do not really even use it

[boreal vine]

okay and?

[elder quarry]

Think of the arch Linux newbies, they have finally set everything up and then they realised they split /home and root so root can’t install all packages they want

[green tide]

Fire hazzard

[elder quarry]

And they need to redo

[azure topaz]

the point there is that your perf tweaks arent doing anything anyways may as well be on the most featured version of windows 💀

[boreal vine]

I've literally tested it, and I have better max FPS on my curren win 10 install than 11

[azure topaz]

whats the difference in averages?

[tidal geyser]

does it even matter

[azure topaz]

and lows? 1%

[steel umbra]

cpu killa

[elder quarry]

Which w11 version

[boreal vine]

there's no features that would make me switch from 10

[finite plover]

Also woud that hurt performance as i am getting pretty poor performance

[tidal geyser]

use 566.14

[boreal vine]

can't remember which one but it's the one that was out last year june or something when my motherboard was replaced

[finite plover]

Whats that?

[tidal geyser]

driver

for nvidia gpu

[finite plover]

I have amd

[tidal geyser]

o wow

what amd gpu

[boreal vine]

on OW i get about 200 Max on lowest settings with the same hardware, on win 10 I get about 300

[finite plover]

Rx 7600

[tidal geyser]

not great but still nice enough

[azure topaz]

that didnt answer my question

[boreal vine]

on CS about the same ball park performance

[azure topaz]

theres not a soul on the planet who cares about the max fps stat more than the avg or 1% low 😭

[boreal vine]

I do because it's also a stuttery mess

[finite plover]

Im only on 1080p so its fine but im getting like a lot less fps then expected is that because of the outdated windows?

[azure topaz]

its also probably the easiest stat to skew

[boreal vine]

Fuck win 11, all that hassle and for what

[azure topaz]

its not hard to look into the sky or something on accident and get 300 frames

[boreal vine]

more ai slop and eye candy?

[tidal geyser]

maybe

[azure topaz]

idk and a properly supported os

[tidal geyser]

wat

[bronze summit]

I bought a 1920x1080 27in 240hz monitor in the big 25

[boreal vine]

under the hood there's fuck all difference, win 11 just has more bloat and "QOL" features that I don't care about

[tidal geyser]

no

[boreal vine]

it's a gaming PC, i would care more about being up to date on my work machine

[gleaming rose]

bronze 3 in rivals sucks so hard
there's like no way to rank up because i get forced to play healers since everyone locks duelists and then nobody knows how to actually fight

[tidal geyser]

windows 11 is better and yes a lot of under the hood stuff is better

especially for anything with E cores

[bronze summit]

I'm so glad I treat Rivals like a kids game and just play unranked

[boreal vine]

nope

win 10 got the same fix that addresses the e core problem

[finite plover]

Alr so if install a new windows what version do i install then?

[bronze summit]

Windows ME

[gleaming rose]

windows 2000 the GOAT

[boreal vine]

Fuck windows 11, I'll never install that on my gaming PC

[karmic dock]

XP

[gleaming rose]

yeah install linux instead

[karmic dock]

XP was better than Jesus

[boreal vine]

win 10 ride or die baby

[azure topaz]

this is just as bad as the windows 7 people

[gleaming rose]

i'd rather die

[bronze summit]

I use Win11 because it's comfy and I get to do emulator shit with it

[green tide]

Taped up now

[tulip geyser]

hey all, can anyone here help me with my tech support that I just posted? Thank you

[gleaming rose]

no

if i wanted to i'd be in that channe

[plain cypress]

I really hope it catches fire

[boreal vine]

guess what

I was also on win 7 until they officially killed it

I wouldn't have swapped to 10

[azure topaz]

yeah okay

a pro in delaying the inevitable

rather than just learning it right away and being comfortable with it for the next 7 years

[vestal stream]

How long do Thermal pads usually last? I have alot of K5 pro but I don't think I want to change these ones tbh

[distant frigate]

God it’s so warm and humid outside. Hate it.

[gloomy sleet]

win 11 is just better

[azure topaz]

its not really any different either way id rather be on the latest and ensure i dont get hit with some wacky vulnerability that was fixed 3 years ago

[distant frigate]

Inside with AC on and it’s amazing. Whoever invented AC is awesome

[gloomy sleet]

imo

[distant frigate]

People in the south can’t survive without it. Especially the vulnerable

[gloomy sleet]

too expensive

[azure topaz]

i find window units for FREE

[gloomy sleet]

where?

[azure topaz]

theres a program in most places in the states to get central air installed for free if youre under the poverty line

[gloomy sleet]

im not in the states

[azure topaz]

L go buy an AC

[gloomy sleet]

its like £300 a unit

[azure topaz]

it will last like 10 years

[gloomy sleet]

ill just die from heaststroke instead

[azure topaz]

30$ a year to not melt in your room

[distant frigate]

I just saw the forecast for some parts of Florida and it’s supposed to be near 100F… here in SC it’s like nearly 90F air temperature.

[gloomy sleet]

too expensive

[distant frigate]

The humidity definitely makes things worse. I like dry heat better

[gloomy sleet]

also its £30 a year different unit

[young crest]

If they’re original. Replace them, no questions asked

[azure topaz]

your wheel was probably more than that

[gloomy sleet]

it was

that was a better investment

[vestal stream]

They're still soft tho

[gloomy sleet]

replace

[steel umbra]

k5 pro is absolute garbage

[young crest]

dewit. You need all the thermal transfer as possible on a fat model

[boreal vine]

I use win 11 for work... lmao

[vestal stream]

REAL

[young crest]

It’s now not been too uncommon to delid both chips and put Liquid Metal on them lol

[boreal vine]

I don't need or want win 11 for my home gaming machine

[azure topaz]

ok

[boreal vine]

it only does gaming and shitposting, it doesn't need anything else

[azure topaz]

too much imo for a playstation but neat

[steel umbra]

only k5 pro that can be near pc parts is made by fiio

[vestal stream]

Tf is Eva Elfie doing here

[gloomy sleet]

win11 is required for a solid 80% of games i play

otherwise i would use linux

[young crest]

Do you understand how insanely hot the fat model PS3’s got lol

[boreal vine]

I would rather stick to it because I get better performance on it than win 11, I'm not doing it because pedantic, but there's measurable impact to performance

[azure topaz]

yeah and i also understand the huge risks regarding LM, probably not worth it

[gloomy sleet]

what was wrong with regular thermal paste

[azure topaz]

it would be very sad to kill a fat ps3 thats backwards compatible with liquid metal

[vestal stream]

I have 2 packs

[steel umbra]

throw it into garbage

[vestal stream]

Fuck it

I'm sticking to the OG Thermalpads

[young crest]

bone head

[vestal stream]

Just gonna repaste

[young crest]

Delid the chips

[vestal stream]

K5 is messy af and killed my 3080ti once

[clever drift]

can I use auto detect driver update tool and install new drivers for amd gpu if i already have drivers? they are old but not updating

[steel umbra]

do you want that garbage in your house?

[vestal stream]

[steel umbra]

either reuse it and make a putty yourself with some particles with that k5 pro or just throw it away

[young crest]

do not forget to Delid the chips

[vestal stream]

Wtf is it do high for

[steel umbra]

it's basicly just silicon grease

probably playdoh is a better conductor of heat

[royal gulch]

anyone know a good place to get laptop batteries

i need a replacement for my victus

[vestal stream]

Ltt fooled me into putting it into my 3080ti

Literally cost me 300$ in Repair cus of a blown MOSFET

So yeah. I learned my lesson

[steel umbra]

oh yeah ltt video one is that spread the misinformation about it being any good

they didn't even show vrm or mem temp

yes, if you thermally insulate your mem and vrms your core may run slightly cooler

[vague gulch]

usb - aux adapter are kinda pricey, I just realized that

[azure topaz]

what

[steel umbra]

dac?

just buy apple dac for like $8

[vague gulch]

I was looking for a AUX adapter for my USB mic but lemme see that

[hidden charm]

Hmm you folks think this would be a good selection of devices for testing apps?

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE (Tablet)
iPad Air 13 (2024) 128GB WiFi
Samsung Galaxy A15
Google Pixel 8 Pro
iPhone 16 Pro

[steel umbra]

you'll probably need adc for that pretty sure

[empty quartz]

Meow

[vague gulch]

It's even more pricey...

[empty quartz]

Why do you need usb to 3.5mm?

[vague gulch]

I wanna test the AUX on the USB hub I got today

[empty quartz]

Can only do auto output

[pallid fox]

yo, does any1 know how to reset the ipmi password on a supermicro board? I am currently trying with popos on the server and trying to use ipmicfg. But cant get it to work

[flint elm]

sorry i deleted your post. I miss clicked.

[granite sundial]

how do u accidentally do that lol dont u have to confirm before deleting

[odd marsh]

can you play russian roulette and just delete random messages for fun

[flint elm]

Lol cleaning the keyboard while eating, bad combo..If you hold shift it allows u to click a post to delete. well my mouse was in a bad position 😆

[granite sundial]

lol

[north needle]

someone help ples i installed the tplink archer t2e pcie wifi card and its not showing all the wifis and also the one im planning to use

a few mins ago it was showing the wifi of my neighbours but not of mine

[granite sundial]

did u install the drivers for it

[latent pasture]

unrelated isnt that the symbol for ethernet connection why get wifi

[north needle]

Yep

[north needle]

Was using usb tethering as a temporary solution

[gleaming rose]

should i go thrifting today

[latent pasture]

have u restarted the pc after iinstalling drivers

[north needle]

Twice

[azure topaz]

yes

3$ noctua thrift store fan spinnin away in my computer rn

[north needle]

it can also see my phone but only when its on the 5 ghz band

when i set my phone hotspot to 2.4 ghz it disappears

[sinful citrus]

What is some simple overclock i can perform on my cpu and gpu, to just gain a bit in performance.

[azure topaz]

bro

the most simple overclock is not overclocking at all

[sinful citrus]

Sick

[azure topaz]

🫡

[granite sundial]

are the antennas attached properly

[azure topaz]

in reality its probably not worth it

[sinful citrus]

I also prob dont need it either

[north needle]

theres only one antenna and yes it is attached properly

[azure topaz]

unless you want to learn/do it for fun/know that it probably wont give you life changing performance

[sinful citrus]

I got a kinda beefy pc already

[azure topaz]

overclocking is a far cry away from how it was in the days of say like 775 where you could buy a cheaper cpu and overclock it past that of a 1000$ cpu

for huge 30-60% gains

[sinful citrus]

Bruh

[azure topaz]

now its more like

[sinful citrus]

That'd be crazy nowadays

[azure topaz]

you pay the same for a cpu you were gonna buy anyways

and you overclock it for 3-5% more performance

[granite sundial]

doesn't 40 series get pretty okish gains from a memory oc

[azure topaz]

and 50

just do the basic +100/+1000 on nvidia

[sinful citrus]

I got a 4070 super

[azure topaz]

will work on most cards and past that probably isnt anything

[sinful citrus]

Is that in afterburner?

[azure topaz]

yea

+100 on the core offset and +1000 on the memory

that is the most average overclock that has ever lived

[sinful citrus]

Restart after?

[azure topaz]

n

[sinful citrus]

Ait

[azure topaz]

hit the checkmark in ab and thats it

[sinful citrus]

Got it

[azure topaz]

cpu is much more complicated

complicated? no. uhhh, convoluted? yes

[latent pasture]

amd do pbo
intel ur fucked ig u can undervolt

[sinful citrus]

Yeah i thought about going through the undervolting process but didnt end up taking time to do it

[azure topaz]

intel can oc just fine if you also uv as well lol

the stock vid curve on modern intel cpus is so bafflingly bad

[latent pasture]

isnt it only allcore oc

they have no oc that just gives more clock but maintains 'normal' behavior that the cpu clocks up and down etc

[azure topaz]

my cpu down clocks just fine

[granite sundial]

is undervolting worth it on NVIDIA or ryzen

[azure topaz]

all core as in all the cores run at the same freq and i dont have active core ratios yes

[granite sundial]

ryzen already turbos as high as it can before reaching thermal limit

[azure topaz]

but it doesnt mean my cores always run at the same freq

it downclocks and properly lowers the voltage at idle

[granite sundial]

yeah all core clock is gonna be lower than single core clock

[azure topaz]

allegedly

[granite sundial]

well depends on whats limiting it I guess

[azure topaz]

sometimes its nothing but skill lol

[granite sundial]

yeah all the advanced settings in bios are gibberish to me

[azure topaz]

im not quite at 6ghz allcore which is the fastest 1x core speed on my chip but 5.7 all core is certainly very close

[granite sundial]

I just turn on pbo and leave it at that

[azure topaz]

intel cpu oc is much more fun

it doesnt make sense to deviate from pbo/co on am5 because theres no way youre ending up with a static clock higher than what youll see in games or/and r23

am4 theres definitely chips that are good enough to run faster than even their pbo dynamic clock and it makes sense to maybe do a static if your chip is good enough

[granite sundial]

co?

[azure topaz]

curve optimiser

[azure topaz]

like my gfs 5500 is absurd

i think max pbo with +200 offset is like 4.4ghz

and up to like 4.6 on one core

and her 5500 does 4.75 static allcore 😭

+350mhz from pbo clock in games is pretty good

meanwhile my roomates 5700g which is the same arch

literally cannot stabilise 4.6 at the same voltages

which makes pbo worth it

[north needle]

@granite sundial i fixed it i just had to change the router channel to 11

[granite sundial]

I get just about the advertised speeds on my 7600

4.9 GHz all core 5.1 GHz single core

[azure topaz]

i just like making my computers fast lowkey

i run 5.7/4.3e-cores/4.3 cache for everything on the KS

stock single core is 6ghz, ecores i think are 4.3 stock, cache is like 4.7 which brings up the voltages a lot

[dreamy aspen]

am5 cpu's are amazing in terms of temps

they are a fucking fridges

0 hot

[azure topaz]

everyone seems to disagree with you but go off

[delicate zodiac]

how many degrees celsius is safe for vsoc mos on gigabyte b550 ds3h and 5700x when gaming?

[azure topaz]

a lot

like a lot a lot

like 120c a lot

[delicate zodiac]

oh

isnt it way too hot?

[azure topaz]

i just said it wasnt

VSOC mos is the power delivery for your SOC

power delivery components can get stupid hot and will get stupid hot without any issue

especially on a cheap board without amazing vrm cooling

[hidden raptor]

Hi guys I'm asking for help what to decide which laptop should I get because it's the same price

I'm sorry to break your conversation

[delicate zodiac]

ok so if i lower my case fans for less noise when having 84C there would be no problem right?

[azure topaz]

probably not no

[latent pasture]

whichever has better specs

[azure topaz]

if you want you can learn how to do pbo/cure optimiser, curbe optimiser undervolts your cpu so itll draw less power and make the vrm less hot

[hidden raptor]

Can we Chat privately if you're cool w it cause I don't know much about specs

[latent pasture]

no

[hidden raptor]

Ok thanks

[latent pasture]

the entire point of public forums is that lots of people can see and contribute

[hidden raptor]

Anyone who can help me?

[frigid blade]

Just ask here

[latent pasture]

why go into a public forum then ask to lock urself in an echo chamber where bad info cant be challenged

[delicate zodiac]

i asked chatgpt because why not and it said this

[frigid blade]

I don’t understand why people want to take simple conversations into DMs where you can only get help from 1 person, while there’s tons of help here

[azure topaz]

brother is chat gpt

[hidden raptor]

I'm really sorry

[delicate zodiac]

i am not gonna trust it chill its ai

[frigid blade]

Haha you don’t need to apologize, it’s not targeted towards you just in general

[azure topaz]

dont be really sorry just tell us the laptops

[hidden raptor]

It's probably around 800$ it's looks the same what's the difference

[azure topaz]

no problems we jsust help a lot of people and it begins to annoy us when people arent exactly efficient at it

[frigid blade]

Well the first one just says i7 no actual spec

Oh nvm

[gentle kestrel]

hp has a worse cpu but id argue to get it because its built slightly better from the looks of it

[latent pasture]

performance wise the gigabyte one is just completely better
better cpu, ddr5, and both 4050s have 75w+ tgp (so both get max perf alr)
so the only differing factors are physical stuff which are subjective

[frigid blade]

My bad I’m blind it’s in the photo, sorry just woke up

[azure topaz]

yea get the gigabyte one

at least imo

144hz screen, ddr5, newer cpu

[hidden raptor]

So I get the Gigabyte?

[azure topaz]

yea

[hidden raptor]

Okok

[frigid blade]

It’s all around better for the same price

[hidden raptor]

Thanks guys

[frigid blade]

Out of those 2 options

[latent pasture]

looking at reviews of both the screen are both 250nit ngek quality 45% ntsc shit
so yeah its all down to physical build /keyboard quality

[hidden raptor]

Also there is one Hp VICTUS with RTX 4060 would that make difference?

[latent pasture]

yes but obv more expensive

[azure topaz]

if its the same price probably worth getting it if it still has 144hz

no reason to get a 4060 one if the screen isnt 144hz

[frigid blade]

I feel at this price range there should already be 1440p displays

[hidden raptor]

I still don't know if it's 144hz because I'm waiting for reply of store which is kind of annoying it takes minutes even a day to reply

[azure topaz]

cringe

[latent pasture]

you can google the model name

[hidden raptor]

Wait I'll try it

[latent pasture]

vilman
its probably 144

[azure topaz]

never know if theres a spec without a 144hz screen idk

yippie

[carmine light]

i had the exact same specs and it never got over 60 degrees but i had good airflow

[azure topaz]

you probably werent looking at the vrm temp

[hidden raptor]

Arghhhh the video said just 4060 did not include If Intel I5 or 7 or Ryzen 5 or 7

[carmine light]

i was

[latent pasture]

ds3h can run 5950x i doubt 5700x will have trouble

[carmine light]

i ran it for over a year and i saw it in hwinfo

i never saw over 70c once on vrm

only temp that went over 70 was cpu and gpu

[azure topaz]

then you probably didnt stress your cpu very much 💀 😭

over 70c on vrm components is normal even for high end boards lowkey

[carmine light]

i did it on full load tests

[frigid blade]

Maybe he fire truck water cooled the pc

[azure topaz]

power draw?

[hidden raptor]

Ohhh it's I5

[carmine light]

i think it was around 80 to 100 watts

my 3600 drew the same power

[latent pasture]

well it says right there on the page u sent idk wat u were looking for

[frigid blade]

What’s the number after, i5 what

[frigid blade]

We’re talking about a different 4060 model

[azure topaz]

a 5700x will draw more than 100w im pretty sure 😭

[carmine light]

you can undervolt it

[hidden raptor]

Ahaha he just said I5 I'm looking it up RN

[azure topaz]

and he already mentioned his is not and i already said that

[carmine light]

my 9800x3d ran at 93c before i undervolted it now it runs at 70

[latent pasture]

65w tdp so 88w actual and even lower clock than 5800x
seems possible enough

[frigid blade]

How much did you undervolt?

[azure topaz]

random hwbot image

[odd marsh]

93c is totally normal for the chip

[carmine light]

-30mv

[azure topaz]

https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/cinebench_-_r23_multi_core_with_benchmate/submissions/5542070

[frigid blade]

Nice that’s good

[carmine light]

not a single crash in what about 6 months now

[hidden raptor]

I5-12500H

[latent pasture]

highly overclocked, its stock is 4.6

[frigid blade]

I’ve only ever undervolted my laptop cpu, -65kv from 15W to 13W

[azure topaz]

oh i just figured it was cause of the pbo clocks my fault

[carmine light]

i dropped from about 155 watts to around 100 - 110

[delicate zodiac]

i have montech air 100 and it has ass airflow

[frigid blade]

Why do they even give it that much voltage if it can run much lower?

[winter lantern]

My laptop wouldn't let me undervolt lol

[hidden raptor]

@frigid blade i5-12500H

[frigid blade]

That should be fine for gaming then with the 4060

[azure topaz]

minimum silicon quality

[carmine light]

i upgraded to a 4000d airflow with 5 fans and it was good

[latent pasture]

what price tho
now you have to look at other 4060 prices not just this victus

[carmine light]

shitty bios maybe?

[azure topaz]

some cpus cannot run that much lower

some can

[hidden raptor]

@latent pasture it's quite up but it's fine

[carmine light]

i could take it further its stable af

[azure topaz]

nobody cares to find out the lowest for each specific cpu so they set a minimum level of quality to target

[latent pasture]

then why only victus
check other 4060s then

[hidden raptor]

@latent pasture because that store only offer that model. That store have discount. I can't afford buying the actual price 😭

[latent pasture]

4th time asking what price

[carmine light]

i wonder if i could overclock while on the undervolt

[delicate zodiac]

when i remove my front panel i get -5 degrees on everything

[frigid blade]

I need to undervolt the 13900kf, parents said if I don’t drop usage im gonna start having to foot the entire bill because it’s mostly me pulling it

[latent pasture]

im looking on shoppe rn and other 4060 laptops r 55-60k

[hidden raptor]

I'm sorry wait I'll look it up

[azure topaz]

put your cache clock to the same as your ecores

[carmine light]

see if you can upgrade case its something you will keep for all your next pc builds

[hidden raptor]

Yeah 55K pesos

[frigid blade]

Same with the 4090, but idk how to undervolt GPU

[hidden raptor]

Wait I'll conver into dollow

[azure topaz]

theres a guide

[latent pasture]

useless to convert, we can literally see the prices
gives 0 information

[frigid blade]

Well yah, but new thing for me compared to cpu

[azure topaz]

https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia Overclocking.md

no i mean like a comprehensive guide

[hidden raptor]

985 dollors

[elder quarry]

Is the computer running all night

[latent pasture]

.

[winter lantern]

I have the 7000d and 7 fans i get 60c 😔

[latent pasture]

allat workj for nothing

[latent pasture]

im p sure if u put that 5 fans in the old case it wouldve done the same

[sinful citrus]

@azure topaz how do i actually perform this +100/+1000 on afterburner? Like what sliders do i adjust?

[carmine light]

why get 7000d my 4000d fits most gpus if u ignore the fact the 5090 exists

[winter lantern]

Undervolting then overclocking a 9070xt gives it 5080 performe

[azure topaz]

+100 on core, +1000 on memory

[winter lantern]

4090

[sinful citrus]

oh wait

[delicate zodiac]

i dont know how i am gonna even upgrade in future because this am4 pc like only thing that i would not need or want to upgrade is my m2 ssd so i guess when i am gonna want to upgrade than i am gonna to sell pc as whole and not in parts because here in czech republic no one cares about used components

[latent pasture]

bruh this clown is still spreading this misinformation

[sinful citrus]

i see it now, for some reason i read core on both

[winter lantern]

People in the amd server keep saying it

[hidden raptor]

Guys one last question is there any big difference between 4060 and 4050

For laptop

[sinful citrus]

@azure topaz like this

[azure topaz]

idk how hes even still here

[azure topaz]

yes

[latent pasture]

should i go around telling people 4060ti is as good as 9070xt?
because in 1 game it is

[frigid blade]

Probably

[sinful citrus]

stupid questions, but then hit apply and save right?

[frigid blade]

Like 20% performance increase?

[azure topaz]

dont have to save

[winter lantern]

The 4060 laptop has 2gb more vram

[sinful citrus]

oh okay

[azure topaz]

but yes hit apply

save if you want to save a profile

[carmine light]

i bought a 5080 and got it today it seems to be good

i think frame generation is better than i expected tbh

[latent pasture]

https://youtu.be/ZCN1WXBoS-Q?si=sslOFUEQLUu5msBB

[hidden raptor]

@winter lantern So it's a big difference? Sorry I really don't have knowledge about laptops

[sinful citrus]

Thank you

[frigid blade]

It’s always nice to have more vram for games, don’t worry too much with 1080p gaming

[latent pasture]

or if u want answers rn

[hidden raptor]

TYSM I'll be right back

[latent pasture]

the 140w is also not that relevant, 4050 gets max performance at 75w and 4060 at like 90w

and all the laptops discussed so far can reach these

[frigid blade]

If he wants more out of it, undervolt and oc

But I don’t think I have the patience to explain that

[azure topaz]

i wish i could undervolt my intel laptop

[azure topaz]

thats why i threw the guide at you

[latent pasture]

does uxtu not work

[azure topaz]

dont think so

[latent pasture]

ngek

[azure topaz]

i can try

throttle stop didnt seem to work

[frigid blade]

Try it, mine didn’t

[frigid blade]

I needed to do a bios hack to unlock voltage control

[azure topaz]

im much more experienced in throttlestop so i tried that

[azure topaz]

idk if that exists for my computer sadly

[frigid blade]

Then I used throttle stop

What is it?

[azure topaz]

HP elitebook 650 g9 (1265u)

[latent pasture]

buy msi laptop if u wanna fool around
they just put the desktop bios in lmao

[frigid blade]

Oh that’s up there

[azure topaz]

yea its cute

full ram oc on msi tops

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz you need an older bios version

[azure topaz]

idk if i can downgrade in this

what ver? i can try

[frigid blade]

I don’t know, I’m just looking through threads of similar models and they all say this

[azure topaz]

cringe

when was plundervolt discovered? i reckon itll be sometime before/shortly after

[proper finch]

hey so im doing a lab for a college course im taking and i was trying to install an active directory forrest but i keep getting exception errors from the command

[hidden raptor]

It is a huge difference but what's the DDR4 thing for is it good?

[proper finch]

Install-ADDSForest -DomainName domainthing.com -InstallDns
is the command and it keeps saying -installDns was incorrect

[crimson temple]

Kinda having a hard time choosing between the 5070 ti and 7900 xtx. which one do you guys recommend

[latent pasture]

the ram is cheaper if u want more capacity ig

do u know anyone in this store? since u seem like u buy only from here

if they give you 16gb ram, ask them to make it a 1x16gb stick so u can just upgrade it later double

and not need to throw out an 8g stick

[proper finch]

putting this here because i need an answer soon. the virtual machines they use like to shit themselves if you wait too long

[frigid blade]

Cheaper one if they are similar speeds, or the AMD if the drivers are still shit rn for NVIDIA

[latent pasture]

ddr5 isnt as affected by single stick of ram but ddr4 gets clowned

[crimson temple]

Isnt amd known for having driver issues

they are similarly priced yes

[hidden raptor]

Yeah cause they have discount for like 100$ that's why I'm in this store but I'll try to look other for I'll be right tommorow here I hope you're still here answering me thanksss

[frigid blade]

Pretty sure right now NVIDIA has less stable drivers than AMD, sim was complaining about it all the time

[latent pasture]

rtx 50 fine vinegar

[delicate zodiac]

where should i add fans to decrease gpu and vsoc mos temperature on montech air 100? i have currently basic configuration so 3 intake in front and 1 exhaust in back

[crimson temple]

performance wise

[frigid blade]

I have no clue what they are like, I don’t own a 50 series card yet

[crimson temple]

oh

[azure topaz]

what year were the threads posted?

gives me an idea of what versions i should be looking at

[frigid blade]

There’s one from a few months back with no responses, the rest are lemme check

Like early 2020s

[azure topaz]

shit

idk if i'll find anything that old lol

this looks like the oldest firmware i can find

[frigid blade]

It’ll have to be early bios from when it came out 2022

[azure topaz]

yeah

[frigid blade]

Yah, the threads aren’t for the exact same model, but maybe your early bios version have it unlocked

That’s generally what I’ve seen with laptops

Early versions let you tinker, later lock you out

[azure topaz]

idk if itll let me downgrade since im on the latest

we'll see i'll do it on the bus or somethin

[worldly abyss]

Intel integrated drivers best

[cunning cloud]

I have 1 monitor currently that is a acer ips 180hz. I need a second monitor that can be either an upgrade from what I have currently so i can the 180z as my secondary.

[worldly abyss]

You never get crashes if you can deal with the 3-5 fps

[frigid blade]

Very cool story sasuke

[delicate zodiac]

would adding exhaust fans help gpu and vsoc mos temperatures when i did remove front panel and open side panel for 10 seconds and temperatures dropped like 7C for like 30minutes?

[cunning cloud]

thank you thank you

[frigid blade]

Why do you need more than 180Hz

[delicate zodiac]

when you play esports games and you have like 250fps

[cunning cloud]

240 would be nice ig

but it doesnt really matter

[frigid blade]

Go back to 60Hz and punish yourself

[delicate zodiac]

depends on what games you play and on what fps because if your pc can handle only 180 than dont buy better one

[cunning cloud]

🥲

[cunning cloud]

my pc can handle it

[frigid blade]

I wouldn’t know I think our display fanatics aren’t online

[delicate zodiac]

hell nah just played game and had 60fps locked in because of vsync, when i turned it off on my 240hz with 200fps it was like upgrading from 5 fps to 100

[cunning cloud]

i shall be back.

[frigid blade]

You can always Google monitors yourself instead of waiting for people to give you them and then ask for opinions on them

[azure topaz]

rtings does good(great) monitor reviews

[cunning cloud]

perfect ty

[cunning cloud]

alr

[delicate zodiac]

bought some iiyama monitor that was in sale and 240hz 1080p and i am happy with ti

[frigid blade]

What it do

Beammg nailed physics engine, now give better graphics

[hidden charm]

Hmm someone knows how I could find data for 3d printing something like this?

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz we moving soon, maybe I can send you the mobo and ram soon after that once I order it

[tidal geyser]

fusion 360 and pcb way

[azure topaz]

oooh mayhaps

[frigid blade]

i got windows 7 on the laptop working with the internet but

[azure topaz]

but

[frigid blade]

its kinda shitty

[azure topaz]

who couldve possibly guessed danny

[frigid blade]

it uses less than a GB of RAM on idle which is nice

[azure topaz]

true

[frigid blade]

But I cant play any games

[azure topaz]

w7 goated for that

[tidal geyser]

why not linux it

[frigid blade]

steam locks itself

[tidal geyser]

steam cant be used on 7 since what 4 years ago

[frigid blade]

is dual boot, I had ubuntu on it and windows 11, guess which one i deleted for windows 7

WAIT NO

[iron glen]

i <3 elden ring community
some guy is listing the first 100 pokemon in order

[frigid blade]

I deleted my window-fied ubuntu

[hidden charm]

Hmm somewhere that I don't have to do it myself? 😂
Or do I need to build the model for it?

[frigid blade]

Shit, it took me an hour to do that

[azure topaz]

go on yeggi or thingiverse and search "phone holder with charger" or something

[tidal geyser]

https://www.printables.com/model/300310-multiple-phone-and-tablet-holder

[frigid blade]

wondowsified ubuntu

[azure topaz]

AAAAAAAAAA

[frigid blade]

isnt it beautiful

[latent pasture]

apparently my 13yo 60hz monitor can do 75hz if ran in 1024x768

[azure topaz]

no its kinda scary

[tidal geyser]

im gonna go out and water my plants

[azure topaz]

can it do 75hz at native if you force it with CRU

[tidal geyser]

its very sunny outside

[frigid blade]

yah it kinda looks weird because it does and doesnt look like iwndows

[azure topaz]

/74hz that counts too

[tidal geyser]

cant even see any clouds

[crystal maple]

total volume is 12.915l including every side panel and all, i think this will be the final itiration as this can also fit snuggly into my backpack, i feel accomplished, final dimensions, 126x250x410mm, only thing to do now is choose the materials, and get all my mounting methods finalised

custom case ive designed for myself, basic af but i feel accomplished

[frigid blade]

This shitty 60Hz goes all the way to 76Hz

[latent pasture]

ok it 'works' but the screen looks blurred

and its shifted to the left with a black bar on the right

[frigid blade]

im getting a lot of tearing on my desktop wtf

when you left click and drag to move around the blue stuff on windows

[azure topaz]

force with cru and run exact reduced?

[latent pasture]

what does that mean
in cru i just made a new option and put in 75 instead of 60hz and didnt change any other setting

[frigid blade]

i still dont get why windows is like "Oh look a 1440p display, here are options for 4k resolution in your display settings"

[latent pasture]

im p sure thats ur gpu

that option appears if u have super resolution on (well its kinda a basic feature of gpus now anyway)
if u leave windows to do its sht, itll cap out at the monitors spec

[frigid blade]

what is super resolution

[latent pasture]

render more resolution than what u actually have hence super

[frigid blade]

Oh, yah its ugly 4k to 1440p

I cant wait to get that tv

48 inches it a bit big for a monitor but i guess ill sit back more

[azure topaz]

DSR? VSR?

[shy schooner]

what gpu for vr do i get (i currently have 6500 xt)

[tidal geyser]

5090

[latent pasture]

the best u can afford possible

[frigid blade]

probably, but i dont like it, I get limited to 60Hz and its bad quality text

[latent pasture]

even more so with vr bc bad fps WILL make you cry

[azure topaz]

so turn that shit off, also shouldnt be limited to 60hz

somewhere in your control panel

should be called DSR on nvidia

[shy schooner]

with 6500 xt i have to use virtual desktop and its sometimes so laggy i cant stand it anymore

[azure topaz]

VSR is the amd version (also not limited to 60hz) and i use it because fsr is so bad

[frigid blade]

Yah I can make a custom one with higher refresh rate but by default its limited to 60Hz

[shy schooner]

ill get like a 6700 or 6700 xt

[azure topaz]

weird

[frigid blade]

Tonk

[latent pasture]

object of cas

[azure topaz]

i would like to delid my cpu

[frigid blade]

why

[tidal geyser]

why not

[latent pasture]

why not

technically 78% of people have delidded cpus

(% of pcs that are laptops)

[tidal geyser]

what specs

install hwinfo then show us the temps in sensor only mode

[cunning cloud]

@tidal geyser can you recc some monitors that are 240hz ips and under $200

perhaps

[tidal geyser]

use pc partpicker and dat with rtings

what psu

[cunning cloud]

omg i dont wanna do allat

[frigid blade]

then you dont need a new monitor

[azure topaz]

this guys too lazy to make an informed purchasing decision 2025

[latent pasture]

that has to be the worst psu on earth to not handle 5600x rx 6600
por its broken

[tidal geyser]

then its temps

[frigid blade]

especially in this economy, couldnt be me too broke for that

[latent pasture]

if u have any oc like xmp disable it for a while and see if it stops

[trim gyro]

try updating your motherboard's BIOS if it's not up to date

[tidal geyser]

sadly since its a insta shutdown so no minidumps

[frigid blade]

why the fuck do people overprice old ass server boards so much

[trim gyro]

I believe AMD did release a few patches for their CPUs to fix some stuff regarding windows 11

[azure topaz]

supply and demand

and stupidity

[frigid blade]

I want to buy a quad socket 3647 board to build my own chassis

[azure topaz]

not a lot of old ass server boards yet theyre pretty desirable for homelabbers or someone running at home

[frigid blade]

$2k 💀

[azure topaz]

aka high prices for you

[tidal geyser]

why

[frigid blade]

96 core homelab server

[azure topaz]

can definitely find dual socket super micro boards for less than 1000$

[tidal geyser]

you do know you can do 256 on a single cpu?

[frigid blade]

and pay $2k for the cpu?

[azure topaz]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808180183126.html?
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807704849932.html?

[tidal geyser]

and for not a massive amount 96 ez

[tidal geyser]

well its also going to be WAY WAY WAY WAY better

[frigid blade]

well it needs to be way way way way cheaper than that

[tidal geyser]

become richer

[frigid blade]

Platinum 8272CL is the sweet spot for me

[tidal geyser]

also remember the amount of latency even cross ccd has

now make that a whole different socket

[azure topaz]

yeah softwares on windows dont like multiple numa nodes

[tidal geyser]

aint windows max 2

[azure topaz]

idk completely how numa works but im pretty sure a different cpu is a different numa node

[frigid blade]

no

[tidal geyser]

or was it 2 on home and 4 on pro

[azure topaz]

yes but i think pro allows 4 sockets

[frigid blade]

workstation can do 4

[azure topaz]

ah okay

[tidal geyser]

what about 5?

[azure topaz]

keep in mind the whole numa thing though

most programs wont be able to use more than 1 cpus worth

not a problem if youre running a lot of things but a problem if you want 1 thing to run real good

[frigid blade]

no, probably will use hyper-v for VMs

Since it does its whole autobalance cpu thing

[azure topaz]

yea

probably good so long as what youre running cant overwhelm 1 cpu

which would be pretty hard

[tidal geyser]

o pleas pleas do not tell me it will be used for gaming

[azure topaz]

not easy to run a workload on a 24 core that acutally uses all 24 cores

[frigid blade]

No, thats what the 4090 build is for

[tidal geyser]

ok good

[frigid blade]

I was trying to find a r940 for that but it went for $1.5k

too much over my budget

would have fit the 4090 nicely

and gen 3 x16 isnt much of a performance decrease

[green tide]

Is done

[random gyro]

Bruh y'all on one of my PCs I have no stereo audio out of nowhere does anyone have any suggestions why that could be?

[frigid blade]

3.7 GHz turbo on this btw, im so happy that its cheap-ish

[tidal geyser]

is the IPC any good

a fx 8350 can do 8GHz does not mean its any good

well can vs is meant to

[frigid blade]

how do I check that

[latent pasture]

its skylake 14nm 4ghz

[tidal geyser]

play games

[frigid blade]

I was also looking at the Xeon 8176M

[tidal geyser]

why not epyc cpus

[frigid blade]

Its similarly priced but base clock is 2.1 GHz and boost is 3.8 GHz

[latent pasture]

what epyc

the cpu ur looking at is 6th gen intel so more recent epycs should beat it fine and at lower power

[tidal geyser]

i dono anything sp3

you also need to remember things like a 7500f beting a threadripper 1950x in multi core, 6 core 12 thread vs 16 core 32 thread

[dusky axle]

I'm looking at a xfx speedster merc319 rx 6950xt 16gb . i have a 850w psu and the google says it should be fine. is that true?

[tidal geyser]

yes

if its a A tier psu

[latent pasture]

yes unless its some shit 850w white rating

[dusky axle]

gold rating, thermaltake

[tidal geyser]

probs b tier then

maybe but could be that A tier one i love

[frigid blade]

gib specific model, idk about thermaltake but sometimes the quality differs

[dusky axle]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZR9JLT?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_15&th=1

[latent pasture]

yeah thats fine

[tidal geyser]

a+

[azure topaz]

most thermaltake unit’s that are higher or are gold are fine

any evga white unit is bad

any thermaltake white unit is bad

[tidal geyser]

minus that evga part

[upper abyss]

someone here know stuff about mice

[azure topaz]

?

[neon ocean]

How long does it take for AM4 to take first boot?

[frigid blade]

[azure topaz]

[tidal geyser]

5min

[upper abyss]

do you have more facts about mice

[neon ocean]

Aight hopefully ts works

[frigid blade]

they get tested on a lot

[azure topaz]

n1, w3 are both terrible units and the most common evga white units

[tidal geyser]

in the sentence

[azure topaz]

i’m positive there are good white rated units. evga makes none of them though

[tidal geyser]

why would cooler master make this

b tier white

[azure topaz]

exactly 😭

i think i e seen one even

[tidal geyser]

its too rare

[neon ocean]

Should it display bios afterwards?

[tidal geyser]

maybe

Because those are the prices

[kindred halo]

Only supplier for the 44L is a shady local AliExpress ripoff that's listing it a 99.0

[frigid blade]

amazon?

[mighty mist]

Hey, quick question - are Capxon capacitor as bad as reddit says?
Specifically I'm looking at Thermaltake Toughpower GT 850W Snow and according to some random yt video where someone opened it up, it's using Capxon and reddit really hates this brand - is this PSU okay or should i look for something else?

[kindred halo]

Cannot

Either doesn't ship, or 50-100 USD shipping

[kindred halo]

Use the SPL tierlist

[mighty mist]

It's not there
it's not on Cultist's tier list either

[kindred halo]

Probably shite, best to wait until more info

[frigid blade]

Says A Tier

[mighty mist]

GF1, im talking about GT
a random redditor says it's the same but can't find info about it anywhere else

[frigid blade]

Ah sorry, lemme see

[vestal stream]

I've disassembled and reassembled 3 PS3 today's and only 1 screw that I don't know where it fits

This is an absolute win

[kindred halo]

Okay on a different point

Is DLSS 3/3.5 worth buying a 300/330 US 4060 over a 288 3070 Ti Vision?

[frigid blade]

Generally, the snow/white versions of PSU's are ass anyway

[kindred halo]

The 300 US one is probably pre-tax, PNY VETRO model

330 is just average price, there's 330-340 ASUS, MSI, PNY, ZoTac, etc

[frigid blade]

I wouldnt know that

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[hexed tapir]

16 or 8gb 4060

[kindred halo]

Standard

I'd specify if it was anything but standard

[hexed tapir]

Wait NVM it's only 8gb

4060ti has the 8gb and 16gb

[hexed tapir]

3070ti is over all just a way faster card, I would assume even with the better dlss the 4060 couldn't compete with it

[barren breach]

Am I going to have the same stability issues with my I5 14600k as the I9 14900k has been having? Should I worry about undervolting or anything?

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[hexed tapir]

Did you update the bios to stop the CPU from killing itself?

[barren breach]

I literally just got a psu like a hour ago, the CPU has never seen power yet 😂

Well the only thing in this build thats ever seen power is the mobo cause I bought it used, so will a bios update fix it?

[hexed tapir]

if it's a new unused CPU yes

If it's used CPU and already had stability issues a bios update would only stop it from getting worse

[barren breach]

Literally brand new

[hexed tapir]

Just install the latest mobo bios and you should be problem free

[kindred halo]

How capable do you think a 13400F & 3070 Ti will be?

(w/ 2*8GB of 3200Mhz)

youre overpaying so much because of that

[frigid blade]

what state are you in that you cant get shipping there for free with amazon

[kindred halo]

I am from the parliamentary democratic Republic of Lebanon

Not a US state

[frigid blade]

Ok, well I assumed US since you had USD pricing and write english very well

[kindred halo]

Shipping is either outright unavailable or 50-150 USD

witcher 3 is on huge sale at the moment, do i need to play the first 2 to enjoy it?

[steady widget]

hypothetically what type of video connection do you guys think this would use my family bought one and now wants me to "upgrade the monitor"

ive seen someone make a cheaper submersible and judging by the wire and price id assume it to be just some crappy analog signal

[kindred halo]

Doesn't look to be VGA

I'd say HDMI tbh

[steady widget]

i think its directly connected to the board on the monitor somehow

[frigid blade]

bruh

yah, its definitely not using connectors

its gonna be soldered or something

[steady widget]

and i doubt hdmi would work over 65ft

underwater

for 45$

[frigid blade]

max 50 feet on better cables

[steady widget]

yeah and this is def not a better cable

[frigid blade]

you can probably open it up and see what the connection looks like before buying a new display, why do you want to upgrade it?

[steady widget]

I Dont want to, my 70 year old grandfather and his friends bought it and he wants me to figure out how to make the screen bigger or how to connect it to his ipad

I feel like its literally a composite cable if i had to guess honestly

[frigid blade]

i doubt its worth the time and effort to do that instead of buying a new one

[steady widget]

honestly my idea, i have a bunch of cheap converters from other projects, if it was just something like composite i could do a cheap hdmi conversion then just tell them to use that for whatever

but i also just realized that the controls are on that handheld screen so nevermind

[frigid blade]

All of these seem to be 4.3 or 5 inch displays

nvm they get larger but much more costly

Have they thought about using those wireless ones you stick on the fishing line? Those use an app

[steady widget]

their thoughts are whatever amazon and instagram recommends them and impulse purchases.

[frigid blade]

Ive never used one, but they have high ratings and lots of monthly purchases

[abstract wigeon]

[mortal mantle]

how the hell was my RX Vega 56 loose in the PCIe slot while being screwed in and latch closed

[balmy trench]

I have a relatively fresh pc (had it for a month or two now), with 5080, 9800x3d, 64 gb of ram, and since day one i've had issues with applications freezing until I alt tab to for example discord or a different application or if i let it sit for a few minutes. I'm also trying wifi for the first time on a desktop pc, and it feels like there's packet loss of some kind, like my games being disconnected from the internet for ~1 second every 30 minutes or so (just guessing the time, usually happens once or twice in a league game).

Is there something im not doing right with setting it up? some drivers/settings/etc. that im not doing correctly? (Fresh install of windows, no data backed up)

[magic kraken]

good game is good

[gloomy sleet]

i’ve never played the witcher games

got the ultimate edition for £7

[tidal geyser]

That is nvidia for you

[frigid blade]

i probably should, its a polish author made game

[gloomy sleet]

i’ve read the books if that counts

[magic kraken]

wifi sucks, but it sounds like you do have other problems going on

[balmy trench]

haven't heard of anyone else having a similar problem cause of nvidia tho?

[frigid blade]

Theres been lots of driver issues with nvidia lately

[magic kraken]

nvidia drivers ain't what they used to be

[balmy trench]

but my friend who has a 5070 doesn't have a problem, and nowhere similar to any issue that's similar to mine

[magic kraken]

What storage device, what mobo

[frigid blade]

the 50 series drivers are pretty shit compared to 40 series

[tidal geyser]

Wifi is also unstable

[magic kraken]

Cards themselves also seem to be a crapshoot in general. Got lucky with my 50 series with minimal issues. Friend can't even get his to boot with the card installed.

why would wifi ever be a thing if u can't game on it for more than 30 minutes without packet loss tho? Even like 10+ years ago, when using wifi on my laptop this wasn't a real problem?

[magic kraken]

wifi should only be gamed on as a last resort

[balmy trench]

I don't have the best router, just isp provided router from like 5+ years ago

[magic kraken]

your eating a latency penalty even if it isn't dropping out.

[balmy trench]

latency penalty isn't that bad, from 26 to 33, ish

[magic kraken]

The proliferation of wifi into every single house has made it worse than it has ever been.

[steady widget]

its more that its inconsistent tbh

[balmy trench]

i don't mind that latency diff, the packet loss is terrible though

[magic kraken]

all the channels are overfilled if you live in medium or high density housing

[tidal geyser]

Do you have this issue with other devices and what wifi card is the pc using

[balmy trench]

comes with the mobo

even has antenna for it, which made no difference with or without it

[tidal geyser]

What

Antennas should make a massive difference

[warm saddle]

guys, after new windows update i have on Antimalware Service Executable over 200MB ram usage and before the update i had close to 0MB
is that normal?

[tidal geyser]

Did you even install the WiFi drivers

[tidal geyser]

Probs

[balmy trench]

i think so, yes

[balmy trench]

i mean the router is literally like.. 2 meters away from my pc, nothing inbetween them

[tidal geyser]

What wifi card so you have

[balmy trench]

TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI

it comes with the mobo (not external wifi card)

[warm saddle]

what? its ok?

it will be back to normal after some time?

[plush wren]

yes

and yes

just check again in like 20 mins

[tidal geyser]

Do you only have 2gigs total of ram or something

[plush wren]

Lmao

[tidal geyser]

Most come with different noe a days

[warm saddle]

no 32 but its veird

[tidal geyser]

You do understand most games are well under 32GB usage

[warm saddle]

but why? is that because the defender is scanning some new windows files after update?

[warm saddle]

i know

[tidal geyser]

So why give a shit

[plush wren]

defender scans regularly

and when it does it uses a lot of your cpu as well

[warm saddle]

its using 0

of cpu

[magic kraken]

RTL8852BE or MT7921

good ole asus using random parts on lowend boards

[plush wren]

mine is using 200mb too vro

[warm saddle]

and did you updated windows to 26100.4061 or something?

[plush wren]

why doe sbro care about 200mb ram usage so much

[balmy trench]

So what should I do on a fresh install, considering reinstalling and factory resetting windows. What drivers/programs/settings should i enable/disable/tweak?

and would a "gaming" router be better than older isp-provided one for less packet loss for wifi?

[warm linden]

Let’s go

[warm saddle]

i know but, did you updated windows or something?

[plush wren]

idk

[gloomy sleet]

guys i’m confused here if something is £89 with no shipping but then is put on a 30% sale and is now £57 but has £32 shipping

[plush wren]

your pc is fine vro

[gloomy sleet]

isn’t that illegal since you aren’t saving money?

[plush wren]

probably not

[gloomy sleet]

that’s still the exact same price

[plush wren]

prove it

[gloomy sleet]

but they’re marketing a 30% sale

[gloomy sleet]

wdym

[plush wren]

well how do you know that

[gloomy sleet]

it’s on sale but it still cost the exact same as the non sale price

[gloomy sleet]

how do i know what

[plush wren]

also what fucking product has 32 pounds shipping

[gloomy sleet]

a keyboard

[plush wren]

that the usual price is £89 with free shipping and when its on sale its £57 but with £32 shipping

[gloomy sleet]

i saw it off sale and it didn’t have any shipping cost

[plush wren]

im guessing the company is chinese

[gloomy sleet]

then like a month later i looked and it cost £57 with £32 shipping

[gloomy sleet]

idk maybe

also that isn’t even 30% off

[plush wren]

i dont think its illegal

[gloomy sleet]

that’s a 36% sale

[gloomy sleet]

i think it is

since it’s the same price just marketed as a sale

[plush wren]

well idk if you can do much about it

[gloomy sleet]

if somethings marketed as a sale it has to be cheaper then the original product price

[plush wren]

lmfaoo people do that so often here on marketplaces

[gloomy sleet]

that’s the law in 99% of sales

[plush wren]

the regular price is 4200

but he turned off price history so you cant see that

[gloomy sleet]

did they ever sell it for 4399

if not that’s illegal

[plush wren]

nope

i think thats his personal laptop and hes just selling it

[gloomy sleet]

if it was never listed for 4399 it’s illegal

[tidal geyser]

Only 4200km away

[plush wren]

he lists it for 4200, then changes to 4400 to be able to do the discount thing

[gloomy sleet]

lmao

[plush wren]

i dont believe most sales tbh

[gloomy sleet]

neither

[random gyro]

is it very bad if my aio tubes are "bent" ovally (something put pressure on the tubes) ? its not extreme tho

[gloomy sleet]

picture?

[plush wren]

what could possibly be on bros tubes

[random gyro]

you cant see it because of the protective thing on them

() instead of 0 XDD

[west blade]

So peak

[copper swallow]

what protective thing do you mean?

[random gyro]

the black cable / cloth thing

[copper swallow]

00s vibes - love it

[plush wren]

Just take a picture vro

[copper swallow]

but how do you know then?

[plush wren]

fr

[west blade]

Touch screen laptop from 2010

[random gyro]

i put my hand on it

[west blade]

Pretty cute

[random gyro]

i wanted to allign them, and i felt it

[copper swallow]

that's pretty cool, which brand is this?

wait panasonic used to make pcs?

[west blade]

Panasonic, exclusively from Japan. They still make toughbooks

[copper swallow]

which os does it run? linux?

[random gyro]

@plush wren cant see it cuz of the black thing

[west blade]

Mint Cinnamon, I got more since I am building up a small collection

[plush wren]

wait so what exactly is putting pressure on it

[copper swallow]

Dude that built-in cd reader is insane

[west blade]

My newest one is from 2021 but it feels more flimsy than the rest due to the screen bezel and flex

[random gyro]

Right now nothing , i assume something did pressure it when i built the pc , since the tube is a bit deformed/bent idk how to say

Oval / not perfectly cylindrical

[plush wren]

[random gyro]

Is that very bad?

As long as temps r finr and it doesent leak

What do you do with 1TB of RAM? Well, why not compute all the primes up to Ten Trillion?

It's been four hours, and I have no idea if it will complete on a non-geological timescale.

Any bets on how long it'll take?

When else should I test? See how many Chrome tabs I can

[gloomy sleet]

i wonder if they make laptops without keyboards

i know that sounds ridiculous but i’d like to use an external keyboard on a laptop on top of the original keyboard

but the weight of my external board actuates the keys below it

[plush wren]

well then i dont think its a laptop

[true stirrup]

It should be completely fine

[west blade]

Some laptops are 2-in-1s with detachable screens

[gloomy sleet]

dang

[west blade]

I'd like to own a Panasonic Let's Note CF-XZ6 with that feature

[west blade]

I don't run Linux on this one since there's no fan control for the motherboard, so the fans are always running at a fixed rate unlike on Windows

[steady widget]

update on my grandfather trying to figure out the port thing he somehow wrote his entire message in the new message bar with no spaces and made a new group with it

[warm saddle]

but don't I have a virus? but before the update I didn't have a problem with it

[plush wren]

no

[steady widget]

Its probably just updating its database or something, when youre actually trying to do something like play a game it will go in the background and use less

[winter lantern]

🥀

[warm saddle]

Is that up to me?

[teal sinew]

that pc is begging for a bigger better gpu

[magic kraken]

Novelty sized GPU

[gentle kestrel]

noctua fans and the max 1660ti is a crazy budget allocation i fuck with tbh

[mental mural]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mJp2np

Got a budget of around 350 planning to upgrade to a 5700x3d and 32 gbs of ram. Some recommendations would be appreciated.

[warm sage]

Guys i fell backwards while holding my thinkpad T580. The keyboard fell off and as i was trying to catch it the connectors fell off. I reconnected the keyboard and everything except the mouse keys works. Any help?

the white connector for those buttons is all the way in but it just ain't working

[empty quartz]

@teal sinew

[teal sinew]

it’s chaotic evil but it’s funny

[teal sinew]

o_o

[empty quartz]

Only 128gb of ram

[teal sinew]

what mac pro is that

[empty quartz]

5,1 (4,1 flashed to 5,1)

Dual x5675’s

And a pair of msi rx 570 armor oc 4gb’s

[teal sinew]

dual x58 mac pro is spectacular

[empty quartz]

Yeah

I also have a real 5,1

But i wanna replace the tray in it

[teal sinew]

wait how is that 128GB broken up

[empty quartz]

8x16gb

[teal sinew]

o

4 dimms on a 3 channel controller is funky

[warm saddle]

and will it decrease back to 0 like it was before?

[empty quartz]

Yeah, but im planning on selling this with 96gb and a single 570

I wanna keep 32gb for myself
