[plush wren]

idk why do you care so much

[empty quartz]

Alternatively i could keep the 128 in that system and just buy like 512gb of ram for the system i wanna keep

[teal sinew]

is ddr3 still cheap or has it started going up

you are my search engine

[empty quartz]

Depends

[warm saddle]

ok, but tell me why i have 200mb now and before almost zero

[plush wren]

why does it matter

[mint umbra]

what are good wirless hearphones for mfs with big heads

tried the sony xm5s a year or so ago

and hurt the top of my head

[warm saddle]

because it's suspicious that I probably have a virus

[azure topaz]

😭

[teal sinew]

your pc seems to be behaving normally to me

[plush wren]

your PC does NOT have a virus because windows defender is using 200mb of ram

[teal sinew]

[plush wren]

infact mine is still using 200mb

[teal sinew]

i think 180-220 is very typical

[warm saddle]

but yesterday and just earlier i had 0

or something like that

[plush wren]

goat

[vital zenith]

There are windows tablets with optional magnetic keyboard covers that are basically that. That's what a Surface is. I also had a 10.5 inch Asus Transformer that was similar.

[dawn tundra]

the 5 9600X is good enough for a budget build right?

i cant remember

[indigo jetty]

would a KF552C36BBEA-16 kit of ram work with a KF552C36BBE-16? the difference is the A at the end

[teal sinew]

yah

[frigid blade]

Don’t mix kits

[dawn tundra]

dont mix

[dawn tundra]

thx

[indigo jetty]

alright thanks

[frigid blade]

Lower frequencies will probably work, but just don’t mix, also don’t do 4 dimms either

[warm saddle]

well ok sorry, but its weird

[dawn tundra]

too much power

[serene pumice]

& they said SLI was dead... 😏

[dawn tundra]

all together its like 141 gb vram

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/RhH8TW/gigabyte-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-gp-p750gm good cheap one?\

wait i forgot to get the new tier list can somone send it?

[frigid blade]

Check psu tier list

[dawn tundra]

ye

never messed with wifi cards any cheaper recommendations?

[abstract wigeon]

as in ryzen 5 9600x?

[dawn tundra]

yea

[abstract wigeon]

just get the 7600 non x for a budget

not worth it at all going for the 9600x

put the extra money into a better gpu

[dawn tundra]

its in the Netherlands so its only like a 20 euro diff

[abstract wigeon]

🤷‍♂️

[dawn tundra]

30

[abstract wigeon]

your money, but i doubt you will even notice a difference

[dawn tundra]

i mean

[abstract wigeon]

30euro could go into a gpu

whats your part list looking like

[dawn tundra]

its not for me btw https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/fhwzRV

i spent hours talking the guy out of a 5060 😔

[abstract wigeon]

550W??

[dawn tundra]

its good enough

[abstract wigeon]

no no

[quick stag]

i love bullying hardware

[dawn tundra]

[dawn tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/green-mile-im-tired-boss-michael-clarke-duncan-gif-2375696290766999196

[dawn tundra]

also it needs a wifi card

[quick stag]

5298 chris 20 0 37212 18368 7472 R 100.0 (CPU) 0.1 (RAM) 1:55.56 python3

[abstract wigeon]

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/pjDc74 too expensive?

you ideally want 32gb ram

[shadow nest]

Might anyine have a clue as to why my bios srttings keep resetting themselves after losing power (ac switch or unplugged)?

I changed the cmos battery

[dawn tundra]

yea

its deff better

[quick stag]

i got inspired to do this since i saw a vid of linus breaking a world record with generating 200 trillion characters of pi

[shadow nest]

Never happens. Only when I lose AC, the computer like quadruple starts as if its new build and its detecting settings

[abstract wigeon]

you really want atleast a 750w aswell so you arent on the edge all the time

[shadow nest]

Funny thing is i load my normal settings and it has no problem as long as i leave on ac powrf

[dawn tundra]

well yea

[quick stag]

i generated 10,000 in about 4 minutes

[tidal trail]

This is concerning right? (Just got this oled monitor)

[ripe spire]

what are you showing

[steel umbra]

seasoning.

[dawn tundra]

?

[steel umbra]

isn’t strix gold seasoning focus gold

they had some mildly poor qc on those

[dawn tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-5834484041415217257

such as the psus going boom or tripping breakers

i’ve had one tripping breakers

[dawn tundra]

idk

[ripe spire]

Another one bites the dust

[dawn tundra]

https://www.ebay.nl/itm/146549730518?_skw=Radeon+RX+7600+XT+16+ overpriced af for broken

[steel umbra]

why rude

big bad rude

[ripe spire]

I get so many of these DMs begging me for money, what is it about me that attracts them all, it pisses me off, it’s like online cold calling

It’s like a door to door salesman but on discord

[steel umbra]

change your about me to: I donot gib mone

that should do the trick

[ripe spire]

Sick gonna do that rq

[ripe spire]

Thanks we’ll see how that goes 😂

[lavish needle]

I would play valorant more but I kept getting banned and gave up

[frigid blade]

Banned for what

[azure topaz]

cheating or racism

or or or or or rage quitting/dodging

[empty quartz]

Not telling us about todays sponsor

[azure topaz]

very true

[pastel thorn]

I just repasted (ptm7950) and repaded my rx6700xt, and guess what! First boot: artifacts, yaay. Mind you i have repasted tons of gpus before, just haven't had repadded a gpu yet.

Luckly it seems to just have been my fault, apparently i overtightened the cooler

As after loosening the screws and retightening it, it now works

[empty quartz]

Skill issue

[pastel thorn]

Apparently xD

To be fair, this was a mining gpu i snacked for 205€

[sick warren]

Guys I need help

[pastel thorn]

So idk its complete condition

[sick warren]

Is this broken

[pastel thorn]

Are there any pins underneath it?

[empty quartz]

…

[sick warren]

Its intel

[pastel thorn]

Well pins/pads, whatever

You knew what i meant

[sick warren]

Oh like under the chipped part no

[empty quartz]

Most likely

[sick warren]

It’s like over the green part

[pastel thorn]

Then it may be fine if there is no trace going out to the edges.

[pastel thorn]

Which.. there usually isnt from what i know

[azure topaz]

mp ficlomg sjot

bro got me fumin

[pastel thorn]

Probably fine to use

[azure topaz]

no fucking shit its broken yo

the substrait is broken its more than likely fucked

[sick warren]

Dang bro I just got it

[azure topaz]

breaks arent just breaks. they make pcb layers touch and make it not turn on

[sick warren]

I should’ve just opened the package at home

[empty quartz]

[pastel thorn]

The substrate being broken is only really important if there are no lanes/shorts.

[azure topaz]

bro

[empty quartz]

Far from correct

[azure topaz]

do you understand how complex the substrait is 😭

if this wwas a motherboard id agree

[pastel thorn]

You may be able to fix it with super fine sandpaper to make sure there are no layer shorts.

[sick warren]

So I’m stuck with my i3 6100 😭

[azure topaz]

i mean like worth a shot whatever see if it works

if it doesnt its not a surprise 💀

[sick warren]

Fuh no I’m not trying to fry my motherboard

[azure topaz]

smart

[pastel thorn]

It is complex in the middle cuz it connects the pins. However on the edges there barely is anything, if maybe a fucking positive or negative ground. Ive dealt with this shit before

[sick warren]

I do have a h110 laying around but my PSU has 6 pin cpu connected

H110 takes 4 pin

[empty quartz]

Do some more research before you argue with floppa

He knows his shit

[azure topaz]

yo linus dropped a cpu like 6 years ago and the break had a billion times less damage. it didnt post with all the memory channels and struggled to post at all

[pastel thorn]

Yeah linus, that aint a surprise

Bro probably broke the internal "solder"

[sick warren]

Can this be fixed at a repair shop

[empty quartz]

No

[azure topaz]

no

[pastel thorn]

Doesn't mean it has to happen here where the pcb/substrate took most the inpact which it seems

[sick warren]

Dang

Should I sell it for like $5

Or give it away

[azure topaz]

just saying, its not a good idea to try it in the board (good thinking on this guy) and if it doesnt work its not surprising

there is a higher than not chance it is broken beyond repair

[empty quartz]

E-waste recycling

[pastel thorn]

Yeah that much is obvious, only try in a testbench.

[azure topaz]

a higher than not chance of it killing your board

yo this guy obviously does not have a test bench

[tidal trail]

Some streaks and not matching color turned out to be the wallpaper

[sick warren]

Is there a way you can’t fry the motherboard but still test the cpu?

[azure topaz]

all chance from here bro

i dont think buying another 7600k or even a 7700 or something is a big financial loss

[sick warren]

Ik but it’s gonna be a long time cuz I got it for my birthday

[azure topaz]

a loss but you can rebuild

[sick warren]

Was $36

[pastel thorn]

Well idfk what they have. Ive met some wierd ass people, doesn't have a screwdriver but a soldering iron and shit like that.

[sick warren]

Yo speaking of test bench I want to get that one cooler master diy case

[empty quartz]

You dont have to have a screwdriver to get a soldering iron 🤦‍♂️

[sick warren]

U can like turn it into a test bench and do weird 3D printing stuff

[pastel thorn]

Yeah but tf are you gonna solder if you aint opening/closing shit. I mean even in electrical stuff, youre atleast at some point opening a god damn box.

[empty quartz]

You rarely need a screwdriver for custom made circuits

[sick warren]

It’s not seeing the i5 7600k 😭

Maybe I can use my own money to buy it

Yay I got the idea

[azure topaz]

🤯

[empty quartz]

The cable management 😭😭😭

[pastel thorn]

If you dont put em in a box, sure. Most kits i know come with one.. also, how tf did the person with no screwdriver assemble their furniture.. whatever

[empty quartz]

The fuck you talking about

[sick warren]

Chill bro it’s a case I got for $20 with a b450m ds3h wifi

[empty quartz]

What kits?

[sick warren]

Some standoffs went there

And the hard drive cage is gone

[pastel thorn]

Rip. I wonder, is the mainboard leds halting on cpu?

[sick warren]

Nah it just does that

It’s ram debug but it’s perfectly fine

My MSI mobo is autistic

[pastel thorn]

Ah, discord didnt mark the reply. Was replying to an earlier thing

[empty quartz]

He dropped his cpu… its fucked anyways.

[sick warren]

https://tenor.com/view/wwe-daniel-bryan-hey-enough-stop-it-break-it-up-stop-fighting-gif-24636817

[empty quartz]

I need more ram 🗣️

[sick warren]

I see like 4 sticks there bro

[pastel thorn]

I mean yeah if the substrate took more damage than visible, then the cpu cant see the ram and so on. Just curious, you did make sure the cpu was generally straight, and not bent in that corner?

[empty quartz]

Theres 128gb of ram

[sick warren]

Ight bro

[empty quartz]

8x16gb

[frigid blade]

That’s not good, my pc screen went just black even though sound still going

[empty quartz]

The cpu is fucked

[heavy barn]

right my brother poured liquid inside my pc only person with a pc in the house everything seems to be turning on fine this is what my pc looks like right now do you think it’s okay or not?

[empty quartz]

Doesnt matter if its bent

[heavy barn]

the only thing that i know is majorly damaged is my gpu

[empty quartz]

Was it turned on when this happened?

[pastel thorn]

Yes, ofc, im just curious at this point about the exact state of the damage, chill out. If he doesn't wanna answer or deal with it, he can tell me.

[heavy barn]

i’m not sure i doubt it i wasn’t in the house

[frigid blade]

I think my ram is still unstable, @azure topaz does unstable ram cause random black screen but continues to play audio and then after a while dies

[sick warren]

Man I’m not an ultra nerd on substates or pc parts idk ask ace or floppa

[azure topaz]

sounds like gpu drivers instead

[sick warren]

Don’t count on me

[empty quartz]

If it wasnt on, just dry everything off. It should still work

[frigid blade]

Damn, so NVIDIA drivers still shit

[azure topaz]

turn it off now

[heavy barn]

it’s all dried it’s just sticky

[frigid blade]

I literally downgraded though lol

[azure topaz]

turn it off

[heavy barn]

it is off

[empty quartz]

Thats pop

[pastel thorn]

I mean, floppa wont be able to look if the thing is bent. But alr, ill stop asking

[heavy barn]

yeah it is

[frigid blade]

Why would you turn on a wet electronic device?

[azure topaz]

okay now clean it for real. with isopropl alcohol and a tooth brush

[empty quartz]

Clean it with ipa, repaste, and it should work

[sick warren]

I should make a dead parts place thing

[azure topaz]

it doesnt matter that its working now. there are chances pretty high that it wont be in a few days or hours

[sick warren]

I should tape it to the wall of shame or sumthin

[azure topaz]

yes

i agree

cpu failed the drop test

[sick warren]

Thanks for agreeing floppa

[empty quartz]

Real

[sick warren]

I’ll just put it near the i3 4130 for now

[azure topaz]

i dropped my 3080 from like 8ft and that bitch still works to this day

and its the top 80th 3080 on 3dmark

[frigid blade]

4th is same socket as 7th gen?

[azure topaz]

no he has a 4130

[heavy barn]

it wasn’t wet it was all dry so i turned it on for 2 seconds to see if it still turned the liquids been in the pc for a while

[sick warren]

Intel stock cooler has better temps now

[empty quartz]

I think i have an i3 4160 in one of my many systems

[azure topaz]

he has a 6100 computer that he uses for his daily

[frigid blade]

Oh

[azure topaz]

i have a 4570 in a hp sff box

[sick warren]

Is that bad or good I play dying light high settings everyday

[empty quartz]

My 4160 is in an hp elitedesk

[azure topaz]

its bad but for you its enough

i wont diss a mans means to game that hard

1050ti?

[sick warren]

Bro dying light is from 2015 I think it’s pretty optimized

[empty quartz]

Real shit

[sick warren]

1650 gddr6

[azure topaz]

would be appropriate for the year of the cpu

damnn bros gaming

2x better than a 1050ti

[empty quartz]

I miss my old gpu’s ngl

[sick warren]

Yessir, I want a 5700xt

[azure topaz]

do not

[sick warren]

I also have a limited edition Gtx 970 green MSI

[azure topaz]

yo whats with people wanting the like worst possible gpus

[heavy barn]

with a 5600x would it be better getting a 8gb 4060ti or 12gb 3060

[sick warren]

I thought it was good, it’s like better than 3060 8Gb?

[frigid blade]

Anyone else change UAC settings to not dim?

[sick warren]

Native performance too

[azure topaz]

5700xts are good on paper but in reality theyre bugged to shit and like 3/4 of them are defective in strange ways

and i would always pick a 3060 (but a 12gig cause whotf buyin an 8)

[sick warren]

Yeah I’m scared of used AMD cards because they get mined like shit

[frigid blade]

Then buy new

[azure topaz]

the cards themselves are just of poor quality

[sick warren]

But the 6900xt brooo

[azure topaz]

amd didnt regulate card designes very much pre like 6000 series

[frigid blade]

Also, I’m pretty sure mined cards will be better than constantly gamed cards

[azure topaz]

and even then theres a bunch of issues with 6000 series

[azure topaz]

yes in theory

if the miner doesnt hate their hardware

[heavy barn]

i had the 12gb 6700

[azure topaz]

which they dont cause that doesnt make them money

[azure topaz]

fuckin 20c hotspot delta

sometimes its like 30

[sick warren]

My friend has that with a 5700x he is playing Fortnite and marvel rivals with it

[frigid blade]

Why does the NVIDIA app still kinda suck?

[azure topaz]

why does the nvidia still kinda suck

[frigid blade]

They revamped and they’ll revamp it again in 2 years

[sick warren]

My other friend is going to give me his pc (r5 7600, 32gb ddr5, rx7600) when it becomes “shit”

[empty quartz]

Gpu’s :3

[heavy barn]

i had it and now it looks like this inside it because of my brother

[frigid blade]

What’s the difference between creator and game ready drivers that I don’t feel like googling

[sick warren]

Dang, are you getting a new gpu or just based integrated gaming?

[azure topaz]

and don’t get me started on polaris

[frigid blade]

Tbh idek what drivers are at the core, i just know they make stuff work

[empty quartz]

Polaris, my beloved

[azure topaz]

they drive da bus

[frigid blade]

I should probably get on that, and know to by now

[heavy barn]

i don’t even know atm because i don’t even know if i’ll need a whole new motherboard

[sick warren]

Hey I’m happy I got banned from ztt server, I like you guys more 😁

[frigid blade]

Why did you get banned

[azure topaz]

prolly said a bad word like fuck you mr moderator

[heavy barn]

but if i don’t need a whole new motherboard im probably gonna get the 8gb 4060ti or 12gb 3060

[sick warren]

I started rage baiting ppl that Intel is better than AMD cpu and spreading “false info”

[frigid blade]

Don’t they ban for that here too

[sick warren]

And some guy snitched on me

[frigid blade]

They don’t like ragebaiting here either

[empty quartz]

I got banned for blocking a mod

[azure topaz]

theres a 50/50 chance of if i ping one of the mods and call them a poopy head ill get banned or stay

[heavy barn]

shall we test it?

[frigid blade]

Why doesn’t LTT have a tier list for psu?

[azure topaz]

because ztt doesnt either

[frigid blade]

They test them all the time

[sick warren]

And in the moderator’s warning message I put 3 letter symbols

[empty quartz]

@heavy barn want my dead r9 290? /j

[sick warren]

Yes

[azure topaz]

ive got two fuck you

[sick warren]

Put it in the oven and boom

[empty quartz]

You cant fix this one with an oven lmao

[frigid blade]

Oh, I saw on fbmp a 1080ti going for like $20 lol

Dude said it randomly stopped working and didn’t feel like figuring it out

[sick warren]

Darn

[empty quartz]

Dead vram

[frigid blade]

I think it’s worth a shot to try fixing

[azure topaz]

the bottom one

i was going to fix

[heavy barn]

i’m gonna have to buy a used graphics card

[azure topaz]

but like every point it could beshorted to ground it is shorted to ground

so it sits

[frigid blade]

Facebook mp is so clutch ngl bunch of uninformed people selling electronics for cheap

[sick warren]

Fr

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz time for a throwback to my overclocking days

[heavy barn]

i’m banned off fb marketplace

[sick warren]

I saw a guy selling i7 7700, Gtx 1660 super, 16gb ram for only $70

[heavy barn]

otherwise i’d be going to there

[sick warren]

Too bad he was 20miles away I would’ve bought it

[empty quartz]

Also @sick warren heres what i meant by dead btw

[heavy barn]

but instead i have to go to the good ol cex

[frigid blade]

I got a 3070 and amd something something for $200 that I bought as a Christmas present for my cousin

Because he was nagging me about it for years

[sick warren]

I want 3070 with i5 12600kf

[empty quartz]

Most reliable hawaii gpu

[sick warren]

Ultraparts Renewed is goated eBay seller go check them out fr

MSI mpg edge wifi z690 ddr4 for 149.99

[empty quartz]

@sick warren btw, even if this did function i dint think you would want this gpu

[sick warren]

Yeah ur right

[azure topaz]

i have different gpu photos

[sick warren]

I would play frisbee with it

[azure topaz]

i need a new iron i know 🙏

[empty quartz]

It used to pull 450W or more

[azure topaz]

and that was old idk which one i did that with

[sick warren]

Oh my AMD power efficient gpu

[empty quartz]

Mine is more cooked

[timber locust]

Why is my PC crashing in BIOS?

[sick warren]

Does that exist an AMD power efficient gpu (Rx 6400 doesn’t count )

[sick warren]

Ok bye now

[azure topaz]

yeah you have no idea how doing that shunt up there felt

bro i literally had one wrong move to make and id bridge the shunt with some random cap

[heavy barn]

which would be better for old betty

[empty quartz]

My rx 6800 pulls like 200W at stock

[teal sinew]

looks like such a mess

hideous PCB to be honest

[empty quartz]

(Like 350 when overclocking)

[frigid blade]

Bro somebody is selling their restaurant on fb mp

$85k

[timber locust]

Bro I literally have one of those sitting in front of me. Interested?

[azure topaz]

look at the power connectors

[empty quartz]

Offer 1 canadian loonie

[teal sinew]

i need to have a word with the team that designed that card

[azure topaz]

WHY can i say suicidal but not the other one

[heavy barn]

tbh the only way i’m getting it is trading my ps5 into that place getting £300 store credit and getting one of them

[empty quartz]

Have a word with amd about my gpu’s vram

[frigid blade]

Is it fine to mix drives as long as they are same size?

[azure topaz]

geniune sadness

[heavy barn]

just not sure which one’s better for me to get tbh

[azure topaz]

its no wonder i melted the connectors for them a little just saying yo

[frigid blade]

I just came across a fuck ton of 20TB drives for $200 each

[azure topaz]

impossible to get in there nicely

[frigid blade]

Huh, updating my drivers messed up the screen even more

Nice

I hate you nvidia

[quartz violet]

4K 60 fps tv struggling with 720p60

[frigid blade]

Interesting build

[heavy barn]

@azure topaz do you think if i clean it with isopropyl alcohol and stick a new gpu in it should run fine?

[azure topaz]

whosawhatsit

oh youre the wet computer guy, yeah

[heavy barn]

yeah

[azure topaz]

can prolly do the same to the gpu

[heavy barn]

well sticky computer now

[azure topaz]

literally SOAK them in isopropyl

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNm2g4Tkf3E

[heavy barn]

idk about that look at it

[azure topaz]

oh did it like catch fire i cannot tell

oh yeah

[heavy barn]

i don’t think it did but it looks like it’s burnt

[azure topaz]

possible it might work possible it might not but with it all burned up like that clean it and test it in a board you dont care about

super possible it wont work*

[heavy barn]

if not should i just buy the 4060 ti and put it in?

[azure topaz]

yea

but fr test it in something you dont care about

[heavy barn]

will do

[sick warren]

There is one gpu that will never catch on fire, it’s called the Gtx 980 ti gigabyte wind force, trust me 😎

[steel umbra]

please not the fans

you may cause more damage than good soaking fans in cola then isopropyl

[azure topaz]

this is true

dont soak the fans in cola

[steel umbra]

i meant isopropyl

[distant frigate]

I honestly don’t see the point of flying cars

We have trains, airplanes and cars.

[frigid blade]

Laziness

[distant frigate]

Also flying is a skill that most people don’t have. You need a pilots license in order to be able to fly anyways

Flying is also tightly regulated

[glossy veldt]

flying cars aren't invented because there's no need for them

there is no point on them

[steel umbra]

the perfect vehicle for american grand theft auto

[glossy veldt]

i guess back when the concept of vehicle was new

a flying automobile would be interesting

[sick warren]

[glossy veldt]

increase the amount of precision exponentially

lower costs to not make it a rich people shit

so many issues...

and then we have people on their clapped Volkswagens not refilling the fucking coolant and overheating their completely functional car

[distant frigate]

Also if something goes wrong while your like 10,000+ feet in the air, it can be deadly.

[glossy veldt]

nah just some gauze and an ibuprofen

call it a day

let's not talk about air pressure

or oxygen levels

[distant frigate]

Yeahhh lmao.

[glossy veldt]

there are SO MANY complications from all the branches of engineering, safety and marketing departments

[glossy veldt]

this is a stunt

a theatre act

it could never reach mass production

[steel umbra]

one propeller lol

i think takeoff - 1000 feet would be the most dangerous

[heavy barn]

change of mind instead of the 4060ti going with the 7700xt

[steel umbra]

because you would not have much time to react with a faulty engine

[glossy veldt]

I'm not that knowledgeable in aerodynamics

but do you really thing

think*

you could save a flying bike

that just stalled the engine?

[coarse minnow]

Hello everyone, i have a question. Which GPU is actually better. The rtx 3080 or the zotec 1080 amp extreme?

[glossy veldt]

nb vs cb

[steel umbra]

3080 vs 1080?

[coarse minnow]

I am arguing with a friend of mine. He says that the 1080 is better

[steel umbra]

oh yeah… nvidia be soon dropping pascal, maxwell & 2.0, volta support

you’ll get legacy driver support from….

[steel umbra]

the 3080 is miles better

no arguing in that

i don’t think there is anything that 1080 can do that 3080 can’t do

you can tune the power draw on a 3080

[frigid blade]

Is he stupid?

3080 is better than the 1080ti by a lot let alone the base 1080

[surreal cipher]

Seems like a weird comparison... Me and a friend used to compare my 2080 against his 1080TI and they both traded blows depending on the game, so you'd think it would be a no brainer that a 1080 (non TI) would be worse than any of its successors...

[mint umbra]

when next generation gpus come might get like a 60 series card

cuz these higher end cards over heat my room

[steel umbra]

5060 seems like the only promising card

the rest is just junk this generation

[mint umbra]

I have a 7900xtx

and its boiling me alive

[steel umbra]

5090 got an okay 30% buff from a 4090

[surreal cipher]

I upgraded from my 2080 to a Radeon RX 9070 XT this week, managed to find one for a good price

the 8GB VRAM was really becoming a problem on my 2080.

[mint umbra]

isnt that good

30% id say is pretty good no?

[steel umbra]

for a generation it’s… ok, not good the price increased to $2k

from 1.6k (4090) and you could get those at like 1.8k until prices went nuts

also you can’t get them at 2k rn

[mint umbra]

I thought msrp is 1800

so up only 200

[surreal cipher]

This is the first time I have had an AMD GPU since... the Radeon HD 4870 that I bought back in 2008 I think

seems to be working well so far though

[steel umbra]

also 5090 have 12v-6x2 issues

[mint umbra]

doesnt 4090 have those issues too

[steel umbra]

because they draw too much power from the intolerant standard

[mint umbra]

idk

[steel umbra]

less due to a lower power draw

[mint umbra]

I was told the 5060 wasnt great either

and that its bad value

but that was just based on some click bait videos that i didnt watch so idk

[surreal cipher]

Modern GPUs seem to be very power hungry in general... my 9070 XT uses 3 of those 8-pin PCIE power connectors.

I would prefer that over the single connector that is known to have reliability problems lately though

[mint umbra]

my gpu pulls 400 watts

which im not a fan of

[steel umbra]

5060 at $299 is currently the least bad card compared to previous gens

[surreal cipher]

Mine pulls 320W-ish I think but can spike higher

[mint umbra]

Is there gpus at like 150 w

[steel umbra]

5060 ti sucks, 5070 sucks, 5070 ti… if it was 750 (it isn’t so sucks), 5080 sucks

[mint umbra]

cuz 400 watt card makes my room so hot

[surreal cipher]

Probably nothing better than a '60 tier GPU

even my old RTX 2080 pulled over 200W.

[mint umbra]

my room is like 80-90 degrees when at load

[surreal cipher]

I got a bit of a surprise with temps recently, I changed my CPU from an i7 8700, to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the i7 was 65W TDP, and then the Ryzen 7 is 120W. Then my GPU from the RTX 2080 to the 9070 XT is going from 200-ishW to 320W. I saw that my temps are quite high, so decided to buy a bunch of new case fans

after looking online though, it seems like the temps i'm getting aren't really scary/abnormal, apparently its pretty typical for this GPU and CPU to hit the temps that mine are.

Still would like to fit more fans though, better safe than sorry...

[steel umbra]

for context how bad the 5070 is
4070 super used to be $599 and regularly could’ve been gotten for that price or $10 higer before the market went 📈 due to 99989% unknown reasons
now you have the 5070 which is on par or occasionally slightly above the 4070 super at a <9% price cut, the 5070 currently sits at $610 lowest

same thing with the 5080 oh wait- it’s even worse, the prices are above $1.2k

[surreal cipher]

Yeah that's why I decided to go AMD this time... lol

Although, not like AMD's prices are great either unless you get lucky

[steel umbra]

amd also sucks but whatever

[surreal cipher]

Demand is just so high and stock is short at the moment, I think its worse for Nvidia though because they are just more in demand

meh.. mine works fine

[steel umbra]

it gets an award: better than nvidia by ~10%

[surreal cipher]

Well, the tipping point that made me get one is the fact that they were actually available lol

The most similar Nvidia card was the 5070TI which was in stock for something like £200 more.

[steel umbra]

i’m talking about how’s amd also not very prosumer rn but not really surprising considering they’re well… a company that wants your money

[surreal cipher]

oh yeah I agree with that

AMD only seems slightly friendlier right now because they are the underdog, they have to. Otherwise nobody would buy them

If they were in the same position as Nvidia they would 100% take advantage too.

[steel umbra]

well, they are taking advantage just not as much

[gleaming rose]

you've gotta be FUCKING kidding me

[swift moss]

no way this is a cloudflare feature 😭

[gleaming rose]

yeah it's greay

[swift moss]

or, we can serve AI abhorrently large files with "useful llm data"

im talking 100tb per file

clog up the threads

or just make 1000 50gb files at like 50kb/s

[gleaming rose]

also consider Anubis or the cloudflare equivalent

[versed ferry]

As someone who works in electronics manufacturing, thinking about QC inspecting this is already giving me a headache'

[fickle ivy]

tryna close steam because my memory is full and nope this app decides it wants to be open

closes fine normally but when it is closed and i try and end it through task manager it opens back up

[frail delta]

Hey, they’ve got a butt fuck massive network, may as well use it for some good

[steel umbra]

AI labyrinth hehe

[frail delta]

https://www.web.sp.am

[fickle ivy]

turns out

8gb is not enough ram

at all

[frail delta]

Who would’ve thought

[fickle ivy]

idk

but its my friends laptop so i cant just throw in another 8gb stick

fuck it im restarting this thing because i cant even run a game anymore

because im using 6gb of ram with just google chrome open

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-cat-mocking-gif-13935821400850516732

[real breach]

You guys hear about the Arc Pro B60 with 24gb of vram?

[grizzled frost]

only leaks afaik

[vast bronze]

Can someone help me with my build pls

Idk which cables to use

[sinful cobalt]

mix and match time

[vast bronze]

Huh

[sinful cobalt]

mix and match what cables have the pins/ports on the mobo

[vast bronze]

Yeah but i dont have to plug every cable tho

[tame warren]

anyone know what this specific type of extension cable is called? i want to get another one (not specifically razer) but i have no idea what to search for

[frail delta]

Wifi adapter extension cable

[plain cypress]

USB A to USB A extension

[frail delta]

There is 0 USB C on that bud

[tame warren]

yeah it's a-a

[plain cypress]

I got got by the indent

[tame warren]

it's just the end where it's on top on a base

[latent pasture]

its just a usb hub to 1 usb

amazing product

[plain cypress]

Is it even a hub

[frail delta]

Wifi adapter extension cable

[plain cypress]

Surely it's pure wires

[frail delta]

It would be

[sinful cobalt]

1:1 extension

[frail delta]

Maybe an LED

[plain cypress]

Oh, set it on fire

[tame warren]

alright cool, thanks y'all. i wasn't sure if there was any name for the end of it (dock i guess?) so i wanted to check before i go down a rabbit hole lmfao

[latent pasture]

what do u need it for anyway
inb4 its another xy problem

[tame warren]

i just wanted another one to plug flash drives or whatever into, it's just a convenience thing since my PC is on my desk and the usb ports are on top of it (it has a tower 600 case so it's tall asf)

the thing being a base at the end makes it ridiculously easy, but thinking twice i could probably get a normal extension cable for my mouse reciever and just use my already existing base for flash drives lol

[serene pumice]

USB A extension cord

idk why they made a platform at the end though

[tame warren]

that's the part i was asking about lol

worded unclearly mb but yeah

[robust trail]

Ooooooooooof they posted a draft and not the final. https://youtu.be/lgkmSK_m8Bo?feature=shared lol

[frail delta]

oof

[robust trail]

Yes, end end product has no emotion

The end…*

[frail delta]

Ahhh

That makes more sense

I thought they were just being mean 😭

[robust trail]

It’s a TTS model… it has no emotion. I’m rebuilding the blueprint to use Dia TTS.

That can have emotional prompts 🙂 and I get mean posts on my videos. I don’t care. I just imagine the people being mean look the the South Park world of Warcraft guy

[frail delta]

How long did it take on just the one GPU?

[fallen sky]

Why would my browser ANGLE type affect my game performance

[robust trail]

This version is pretty fast… probably 3 or 4 minutes for that pair of PDFs

[frail delta]

Wowza

I assume the new TTS would be much slower?

[robust trail]

The new version is slower but it will run on a gpu with 18GB of VRAM

This takes 46

[frail delta]

👀

[robust trail]

And shhh

It will run on Intel, AMD and Mac 🤘

And only CPU

But that will take forever

I have yet to crack the Triton inference server to Dia API pipeline. Almost there. I can get Dia to load on the Blackwell card. I swapped the NIM LLM for Ollama, better memory utilization as NIMs are built for enterprise cards. GeForce has some NIMs but they’re meanies and locked them out to only run on GeForce cards.

They’re not mean… they only qualified the GeForce NIMs for GeForce cards. I don’t blame them for locking them during release.

[barren breach]

Gtx 1080ti build in 2025? Lol

[robust trail]

But I’m on PTO so I spent a few hours installing a DC to DC charger for my EcoFlow battery. Awning because the sun was brutal. I now charge my “solar generator” from my alternator 🥳

Obligatory ARGB lighting strips on my house.

[fallen sky]

Oh yeah the Sony XM6’s came out

I still like my 4’s

Is the $450 price point worth it

Or I’ll just wait until they’re on a sale

[raw trout]

Go for it or wait for prime day

[fallen sky]

Prime day is too long to wait for and right now they’re at max price

Can’t afford it rn anyway so the only thing I CAN do is wait

[junior valve]

lucky, i only got s 1060

[barren breach]

Brother WAT

[junior valve]

gtx 1060 zotac

[barren breach]

What the fan

[proper gull]

That's too many fans to not have the LINK system....

Insanity

[barren breach]

Brother your entire budget of fans coulda gotten you a 5070

I hope that was slapped in there for jokes

[proper gull]

You have fallen for the bait

And your eyes don't work, that card says RTX on it

[barren breach]

Idk PC stuff all that well so

[junior valve]

huh

[barren breach]

Looks pretty small for a rtx card unless 60 series

Im still new to this, this 1080ti was my first “build” lol

[surreal cipher]

I upgraded from a RTX 2080 to Radeon RX 9070 XT recently, and the new Radeon card is stupidly big

[barren breach]

But like on a real note, why all the fans

[surreal cipher]

I think modern graphics cards in general are just large lol

[barren breach]

So they can be at 20rpm? Lol

[junior valve]

0 rpm

[barren breach]

Even better, I personally just keep my PC off, runs cooler that way

[junior valve]

old flagships vs more recent one

[mint umbra]

I had no idea ppl hated denovuo or whater so much

[barren breach]

Is the founders edition 1080 smaller than my evga 1080?

[mint umbra]

Like as long as the game runs decent whats the harm

[junior valve]

yes

[barren breach]

By how much? Like a way smaller or just a wee bit?

[junior valve]

2cm in length

[barren breach]

So mine is closer to a 3090 in size

[junior valve]

yes

[barren breach]

Good to know

[junior valve]

your 1080 looks about the same length as a 4090 founders

[surreal cipher]

geesh, that is a nice collection

[steep pawn]

all bro needs is a 20 series Founders

[junior valve]

and 900

[steep pawn]

i wanna do that but i need money

[steep pawn]

900 was diff from 10?

[junior valve]

900 looks the same as 700

[steep pawn]

i wasnt really talking generations to be specific just cooler designs

but yea u could have all ref cards like that too

and a 50 series lol

[surreal cipher]

I do have these lying around, but they are much older than the GPUs in your pic

[steep pawn]

the dual flow is actually genius if only the 12vhp wasnt buns

[surreal cipher]

they were flagships from their time though

they are puny compared to modern GPUs lol

[steep pawn]

i mean modern gpus are drawing like 10x the power lol

[surreal cipher]

Even back when they came out, they were considered to run hot/power hungry

funny that it just kept getting worse in that regard lol

[fallen sky]

I squeezed a nice 25-35 minutes of battery time from my laptop 💪💪

I might need a new laptop idk man

[sly epoch]

Fk me

[fallen sky]

3.5Mbps 👍

[sly epoch]

peak 💀

[fallen sky]

172x slower than my schools gym wifi

Cooked gng

[glad junco]

What is the best way to dual boot?

[sly epoch]

It sucks cuz my router broke I just bought a replacement router and now my ISP tried to install it today they said they found a broken line a few blocks away so they said they will be back tommorow or monday

rn im just in mobile data 💀

[fallen sky]

🙏🙏🙏

[silent cypress]

i nneed help deciding

NZXT h510 or lian li lancool 207

[lethal bay]

H510 non flow version has super shit airflow

[bronze summit]

Man not even I had that and I was on a 2013 iMac

[terse canopy]

My advice? Don’t.
Use a virtualmachine instead.

[glad junco]

Okay thanks

[bronze summit]

I used to dual boot on the iMac

It was alright but as far it went down to shit later on

[bronze summit]

207 has GPUFans on the bottom to

[hidden hill]

What kind of price would I be looking for when trying to get a prebuilt with a 5090

Was thinking about saving and getting myself a top of the line pc for the first time

[ocean axle]

3 kidneys

[frail delta]

Maybe 4 or 5 if you have shitty kidneys

[hidden hill]

Oh that’s not too bad

[ocean axle]

and your first born (futures contract acceptable)

[hidden hill]

Maybe a 5080 is fine too, I just want to save and get a pc that runs everything amazingly

[frail delta]

Oof. Only 32 gigs of ram

[hidden hill]

The 5080 is a powerful card too right?

7k is crazy wtf, where is that price coming from lmao

[frail delta]

That is AUD

[hidden hill]

Oh I’m blind

Wait no there’s no way to tell lol

[frail delta]

Not really. There is an Australian subreddit there, and Bob is in upside-down land

[hidden hill]

4500 in usd

[strong grove]

First time powering it on

[hidden hill]

That’s more of where I was expecting, pretty steep though

Wonder if I could get a pre built with a 5080 for sub 3k

Cause I’m sure the 5080 is great too, currently on a 4070

[bronze summit]

Imagine how many shit games I can store in thsi

[ocean axle]

why not just stick with the 4070?

[barren breach]

Can someone please help, I cant get my bios to update

I downloaded the most recent drive to a freshly formatted usb, plug it into my bios flash usb, load up my bios and go to flash, and it pops up with the correct file but wont let me actually select it

Its a MSI Z790 gaming plus wifi

[granite sundial]

i wanna turn my old pc into a separate nas cuz hard drives are loud

so i only need to turn on the pc when i need to access stuff on the drives

or is there a way to set it so hard drives are off unless im accessing data on them

[frail delta]

Mounting Google Drive on Windows with rclone sure is strange

[granite sundial]

now just set as swap space and youve downloaded more ram successfully

[limber nacelle]

did you follow all of their instructions?

[barren breach]

Yes it just wont let me select the file

It lets me hover over it and select it then it goes to a … file and then if i select it again to backs out to file select again

I dont understand

[raven scroll]

lian li lancool 207

much better exhaust fans

also liisk betetr

[limber nacelle]

does bios flashback work instead 🤔

but i'm more willing to bet that you maybe messed something up along the way

maybe try redoing all that

[minor cove]

You can adjust them to "park" when idle for some time but overall system noise is typically dictated by the fans so usually would want to keep it off if want a more silent setup.

[barren breach]

I have tried re doing all of it like 4 times, like 99% certain its my fault just cant figure out why

[hidden hill]

Idk I kinda wanted to just have more performance on games, i just want them to run very smooth without sacrificing some form of quality

But yeah idk, I need to just chill with what I have. Not sure why i feel the urge to upgrade so bad lol

[swift moss]

yikes

[minor cove]

Money burning hole in pocket, must spend 😄

I'm on a 3070, typically do start looking at new cards about every other generation but 50 series stuff seems like is worth waiting on given all the problems and jacked prices

can still play Doom so I'm all good for now, maybe will be worth spending by the time GTA 6 rolls out next year

[bronze summit]

That's badass

[brave brook]

Define 7 XL, but sadly you only get i think 6 HDD mounts out of the box, so you need to buy few dual HDD mount packs

[sleek ibex]

I have a Meshify 2 XL, which is basically a mesh version of the D7XL

[upper wave]

Windows 11 isn't as bad as I thought Windows 11 would be

[barren breach]

Can someone tell me why my 360mm aio has all 3 fans linked together but my center fan wont stop going 100%

[upper wave]

but it isn't as good as macOS for me

[mint umbra]

I feel like 4k isnt worth it anymore

With how poorly optimized games are

[sinful cobalt]

i wanna try 4k 27 inch

[warm linden]

Why on earth is my 5700x3d at 30% usage I have a 5070 1440p

[sinful cobalt]

what game

[warm linden]

Minecraft

[sleek ibex]

I have had my 4K 144Hz monitor for 4 years

[sinful cobalt]

chat send this man to the gulag

[warm linden]

Why

[sinful cobalt]

how many mods

i dont play minecraft but i’d say its normal

[sleek ibex]

LG 27GN950-B

[warm linden]

500

When I’m loading chunks it goes to 99

[abstract wigeon]

minecraft is shitly optimised?

[warm linden]

I’m playing atm10

[abstract wigeon]

minecraft is still shitly optimised

[warm linden]

Sodium/ iris / other optimization mods , etc

[abstract wigeon]

minecraft is still shitly optimised

[elder quarry]

is atm fabric

since when

[warm linden]

Neoforge sorry

[elder quarry]

oh are we talking about general performance mods

[warm linden]

Yes

But there shouldn’t be any reason why my cpu instantly gets 100% pegged when loading chunks

[elder quarry]

yes

if you have distant horizons or similar

[warm linden]

Nope

[minor cove]

GPU only does GPU work (rendering) rest of the world building and simulation takes place through CPU, DMA helps to let devices load memory directly but otherwise CPU is typically involved in shuffling bits around as well

[glacial finch]

I hate chunk stuttering bro

The most annoying part about minecraft

[minor cove]

I play most stuff at 4k no problem on a 3070 if talking latest AAA stuff then need to turn down some settings or else it'll chug but lots of stuff looks and runs great on it

[warm linden]

Funny thing was I didn’t have a problem when I had a 5950x

[minor cove]

New doom I have to keep most graphic options low to keep frame rates playable but 4k still worth it, looks so nice 👍

[true stirrup]

Time to get better hardware

[glacial finch]

4k is not worth it

[glacial finch]

Thats my plan

[proper gull]

Because it had double the cores...

[warm linden]

What does spread spectrum do on 5700x3d

[glacial finch]

Im planning on saving up

[warm linden]

Well yeah lol

[glacial finch]

For a new pc

[past maple]

hey y'all

[royal loom]

well well well,look who i found in my 3 year old pre-built pc

its styropor

[warm saddle]

and when will it be like before?

[royal loom]

i thought gpu sagging was only a thing with the big gpu‘s i mean its not much but still didnt knew

[warm linden]

So I enabled pbo on my 5700x3d and now it’s only at 3500mhz instead of 4100

[minor cove]

200MB is normal for that process might have been looking at the other antimalware service parts these are just "windows defender" antivirus though like others said isn't a thing to worry about can go to windows security and run explicit scan if think might have some virus

[abstract wigeon]

cus the cooler design is quite flimsy its sagging, prop it up with some lego bricks if you care

[royal loom]

i indeed have some really old lego bricks and i do actually care

[abstract wigeon]

in my brothers pc i just built a little stand to stop sag

my gpu doesnt sag at all though 🤷

[minor cove]

windows updates virus definitions periodically in the background and anytime something downloaded or being installed it does some live scanning before executing things so can add some overhead but is better than a lot of the old third party virus scanners that used to exist @warm saddle if want to you can "disable" it but I wouldn't recommend it

[abstract wigeon]

what could you possibly need 200mb of ram so badly for

[royal loom]

my pc is 3 years old thats why it sagged a bit

[warm saddle]

well, ok thanks

[warm linden]

Could anyone tell me why my 5700x3d can’t boost higher than 3700mhz?

[true stirrup]

Did you turn on PBO?

[warm linden]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

Turn it off

[warm linden]

Did I mess up the settings

[tidal geyser]

Turn it off

And yes

[warm linden]

I thought pbo was the only way to get better since you can’t oc x3d chips

[tidal geyser]

Why are you still on about trying to save 200MB from your Windows 11 pc with 32GB of ram

[tidal geyser]

Yeah you can't

They lock the clock speed

[warm linden]

Yes ik that’s why I wanted to use pbo

[tidal geyser]

Pbo is overclocking ish

But with x3d cpus it does not do anything at all

[minor cove]

you'll only get peak speeds if temps are low enough and single core processes will hit the peak clock frequencies, but why does it matter

[elder quarry]

linux users:

[tidal geyser]

Yeah direct die cooling

[warm linden]

Not even ppt tdc edc? Or curve optimizer?

[tidal geyser]

But then again clock limits

[tidal geyser]

I will say it yet again locked clock speed

You can't get more performance out of it

Need more get a 9950x or 9800x3d

[warm linden]

Why have PBO then lol

[minor cove]

I think it's fair to be a little suspect about anything using a chunk of resources but yea in this case is non-issue (regarding antivirus)

[warm linden]

If it doesn’t do anything

[tidal geyser]

Why not, harder to remove then not give a shit about

[warm linden]

I guess

So is there anything I can do to make it better?

Undervolt, stuff like that?

[west violet]

Has anyone here used a NUC as a game server for games like terraria/minecraft/valheim etc? Are they worth it due to the form size or do I just frankenstein something togehther?

[tidal geyser]

Tf you need better tho

[abstract wigeon]

nothing will change it spiking in minecraft

[tidal geyser]

It's already one of the best gaming cpus on am4

[tidal geyser]

Ez

[minor cove]

Frankenstein save some cash and easier to upgrade would be my call, if like nuc and want nuc though get nuc

[tidal geyser]

Also working on it

Proxmox then pterodactyl

Ez pz

[west violet]

some of the little dell optiplex seem like decent little machines for the cost but yeah as you say, no upgradability

[tidal geyser]

Wat

[west violet]

the dell 7060's

[tidal geyser]

Optiplex ez upgrading, nuc not so much

[west violet]

the mini ones?

[brave brook]

when you read this and decide power saving is not worth all the work, i will rather pay few tens of euros more every year https://z8.re/blog/aspm.html

[west violet]

can you actually socket a cpu in them or are they like a laptop

[tidal geyser]

Cpu
Ram
Storage
Pcie slot so one he'll of a lot more things you can do

[tidal geyser]

Not seen a soldered one

[brave brook]

figure out what the game server actually needs. Depending on the game, it could be more than enough

[tidal geyser]

I try doing aspm as hard as possible

[abstract wigeon]

terraria servers will run on anything, minecraft you want a decent cpu and enough ram to handle mods if youre going modded

Look at how much power my stuff is using

200w idle is insane for what I run

[abstract wigeon]

i ran a terraria server on an i5-4278U and 8gb ram

[solar moat]

me using 100KW heater

[tidal geyser]

Ofc

[abstract wigeon]

how much does it cost you a year for electrics

[solar moat]

1KWH*price

[tidal geyser]

No clue since I mostly just use that as a power measurer thingy

[brave brook]

meanwhile my threadripper server is idling around 70-100W and i don't give a damn

[tidal geyser]

But it's not too spensive

[tidal geyser]

I am not even home

23c during the night

I'm considering replacing my 7940x with a i3 6100 or 11900

[brave brook]

for me electricity is 0.163313 euro per kWh, plus fixed fees of 7.236033 euros per month 🤷‍♂️

[brave brook]

spending money to save money /s

for me, if it doesn't pay itself back in ~5 years and i have no other reason to buy it (other than saving power), then it is not worth it

[tidal geyser]

Ngl I think I can sell the 7940x for more then I bought the 11900 for

[brave brook]

why

why 😄

[tidal geyser]

Jesus

[foggy marsh]

my idle for 3 servers + ups losses (about 70w)

[brave brook]

i mean some are cheaper, but

[tidal geyser]

And I imagine a 5950x beats it

[brave brook]

5800x beats it

[tidal geyser]

Well you do not have a place that is like 30 Square meters or what ever

[tidal geyser]

Xd

[brave brook]

ok sorry, 5800x is on par more or less

[tidal geyser]

I do know for a fact a 7500f beats a 1950x

[brave brook]

or with 7600x in the mix

[tidal geyser]

Xd

Now 9600x too

[tidal geyser]

Xd

9600x beating a 2950x is so funny

[brave brook]

i mean it's 6-7 years, so it isn't horrible in performance. but the prices on ebay makes no sense

[tidal geyser]

And I suspect it idles at insane wattage

[brave brook]

i bet if i tried to sell it in my country i would not get 300 euros for the board + cpu + cooler 😄

[brave brook]

as i said, i think minimum i got it to was ~70W for the whole system (without hard drives)

[tidal geyser]

Aaaa nice

[brave brook]

right now at night it is around 180W, but that's because it runs tdarr transcodes 24/7

[tidal geyser]

My system with hdds idles at like 130w

I have another nas and a nuc and my networking stuff and the main server and now it idles at what you saw 200w

And no I do not pay for power

Main issue I have is more of a no heat pump aka no cooling so the heat that gets made kinda stays

[ebon orbit]

What do you guys think was key to john mcafees fertility

[tidal geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/808903373448282142

[brave brook]

no need to tell me, i usually have +2C in living room compared to bedroom due the PCs exhausting heat

[swift thorn]

my laptop maxes out at 50w cause the cooling system can't handle the heat

[tidal geyser]

Replace the paste

[swift thorn]

pretty sure they did that 2 weeks ago when they serviced the thing

[tidal geyser]

The issue is that I only have 3 rooms and only 2 doors aside from the one that allows me to go outside

[swift thorn]

I mean the fans are clean and the warranty sticker on the heat pipe screws isn't there anymore so

[tidal geyser]

1 door for the bathroom and the another door for the wmtrance place I forgot ehat was called in English

[brave brook]

talking about NAS, i wish i didn't had all the old tech, this looks very nice, but i ain't throwing out well working Ivy Bridge stuff acting as my backup NAS 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DSTOUOhlc0

[tidal geyser]

Use ptm

[tidal geyser]

I so so so badly want to make a n100 nas

[ebon orbit]

Yes

My 40tb nas stays winning, my dad got the bug and who was i to stop him

[mint umbra]

Gunna sell xtx for a 5070ti since cuz xtx makes room to hot

Pulling 400 plus watts for most games

[tidal geyser]

5070 ti not a lot better

[tidal geyser]

Why not just lower it?

[mint umbra]

Heard it's more power efficient

[tidal geyser]

That is what I did, also fps cap

[mint umbra]

Lowest I get is like 350

When I power limit

[tidal geyser]

It's also a lot, a lot, a lot more buggy and glitchy and unstable

[tidal geyser]

Powe limit and under volt

[kindred halo]

@azure topaz Unfortunately, the one with a screen is too small for the 3070 Ti (300mm clearance, the Ti is 320mm) - So I had to switch to this, cheapest decent airflow case that comes with fans (44 US) & decent clearance (340mm)

[mint umbra]

My friends told me their nivida GPUs don't get like 50 c

When mine goes up to 90

My PC is cooking me

[tidal geyser]

What does that have to do with anything at all

[latent pasture]

their frends has nvidia so they want nvidia too

[tidal geyser]

A gt 710 can be 100c and still only use like 5w

[latent pasture]

thats it
all this fluff is just nonsense and not even real

[mint umbra]

Less heat so I don't get as hot

[tidal geyser]

O please you are not THAT dumb

[latent pasture]

they are

[tidal geyser]

No please

[mint umbra]

It's like 90+ degrees in my room when my PC is on

[tidal geyser]

I big you are not that ducking useless

[brave brook]

not understanding difference between heat and temperature is very common

[mint umbra]

Sorry I'm not a major in thermal dynamics

[tidal geyser]

You can almost boil water

[latent pasture]

if you cant lower the power any more then you can lower it indirectly by limiting fps

[frail delta]

Use real units please

[mint umbra]

Or just Get GPU that requiresesd power

[tidal geyser]

I would just put in a fps cap and ofc limit and undervolt the gpu

[tidal geyser]

Gt 710

Win win

[latent pasture]

and gets the same if not worse fps than if u just limited the xtx to that power/fps as well

[warm linden]

Can I send you a pm

[mint umbra]

Even at like 90 fps in games it's still pulling like 350w

[latent pasture]

admit it, you just see ur friends with nvidia and want that

[brave brook]

Your options:

1. get a weaker card which produces less heat (the power consumption of the graphics card is usually how much heat is produced in your room)
2. get a better room airflow (AC unit, open the windows etc)

[tidal geyser]

Do you need to max out the game?

[latent pasture]

no need to lie all around and do say all this frankly false stuff lol

also 5070ti uses 300w too lmao

[warm linden]

I’d want to trade my 5070 plus cash for xtx

[mint umbra]

Not lying my PC does make me sweat in my room in warm months

[latent pasture]

.

[mint umbra]

It's not 400+

[tidal geyser]

So would a 5070 ti

It's only max of like 100w difference

[mint umbra]

I could prob get it closer to like 200 something then the xtx

Like 280 or something maybe

[tidal geyser]

With worse performance

[mint umbra]

My xtx uses up to 450w

[tidal geyser]

The xtx and 5070 ti is neck in neck

[latent pasture]

this guy spent 20 seconds tweaking the xtx (im p sure u need less to pick the power limit slider) and gave up alr lol
cmon man just say that u want nvidia cuz u saw ur friends get nvidia

[tidal geyser]

And that should be the xtx at 300w

[swift thorn]

costs moneys. and i havent really replaced paste in a laptop before so i dont know what to look out for

[glacial laurel]

Weird quirky question hehe but anyone here has a 6950xt gpu

[tidal geyser]

Put it on silent mode

[mint umbra]

I do power limit

[swift thorn]

nor do i know how much ptm to gey

[tidal geyser]

Can't use 450w then

[mint umbra]

I know I'm just saying normal spec

[tidal geyser]

The size of your phumb

[mint umbra]

It uses up to 450w

[tidal geyser]

I can't spell

[swift thorn]

get

[tidal geyser]

My card does that when I have the power slider maxed the other way

[latent pasture]

"i power cap"
"it uses 450w"

[tidal geyser]

Almost nothing

[mint umbra]

And if I power limit the 5070 ti

Would could get under 300

[tidal geyser]

There are no xtx cards I k ow of that uses 450w stock

[tidal geyser]

But worse performance then a xtx

[mint umbra]

I'm aware

I'll take the performance hot

Hit

[tidal geyser]

What model of the xtx do you have

[mint umbra]

Sapphire nitro

[latent pasture]

ahh so you accept that my proposal is sound in principle
why not limit the fps of the game then bc that will limit the power consumption even more than the power limit slider can

oh wait no, you just want nvidia

[mint umbra]

I can't limit it below 300 w

[latent pasture]

are you like, unable to read

[mint umbra]

Even when I cap at 60 fps

[latent pasture]

*** limit the fps of the game then bc that will limit the power consumption even more than the power limit slider can***

[mint umbra]

It's still around 320ish

[swift thorn]

thats a little less no? cause ill have all the tiny vrms and everything to cover

[swift thorn]

or do i not need to repaste them

[tidal geyser]

Only the cpu die itself

[mint umbra]

What resolution

[latent pasture]

extremely hilarious, this is just admitting they did literally nothing bc thats what it normally does stock

[mint umbra]

Is that for at 60

[tidal geyser]

Probs just 1080p

[mint umbra]

I play at 4k

[tidal geyser]

Upscaling?

[latent pasture]

if capped at 60fps 5070ti is only 20w less than xtx lmao

[mint umbra]

There's no way it's 100 w at 4k resolution

[fallow yacht]

i just noticed this shi was gradient now

[mint umbra]

When many games it can't barley even get to 90 fps at 4m

4k*

For AAA

[latent pasture]

literally all evidence is pointing at you can just limit fps (and you directly admitted that ur ok with less perf) and the resulting less power consumption lets it get pretty close to what 5070ti would get
admit it man, you just want nvidia cuz u saw ur friends get nvidia

[frail delta]

Why do you have the Google app?

[sly epoch]

why can't I FF this?
