[golden sage]

Nope! im in SG 🇸🇬

[smoky zealot]

I downloaded windows from the microsoft website onto a usb, and now its just stuck on this

[tidal geyser]

welp no pcpartpicker

[tidal geyser]

specs

[golden sage]

i mean theres currently a "tech sale" ongoing in singapore, so if you'd recommend me a few boards i could take a look at it and see if they're in the tech sale discount list

[tidal geyser]

cheapest board with 3 nvme slots

[smoky zealot]

5 7600x3d

4070Super

Asus Tuf b650 E wifi

[tidal geyser]

reinstall windows on the usb drive

[smoky zealot]

The first time I did, it said that windows doesnt have acquired files or sum like that.

So I deleted the windows on the usb and re-installed it

[tidal geyser]

can the usb drive be broken?

[smoky zealot]

Wait

[golden sage]

i see, i've been looking at these boards too (prices are in sing dollar)

[tidal geyser]

JESUS WHGAT DA FUC

[smoky zealot]

This just happened. Imma wait to see what else happens, ill let you lnow

[tidal geyser]

wow the prices where ya are are HORRIBLE like JESUS

[golden sage]

Yeah, cost of living here is pretty high too unfortunately

[rigid fjord]

get the b850 ones instead

[tidal geyser]

ïf these are the cheapest you can find then WHAT THE FUCK i swear there are sub 200$ boards with 3 nvme slots

[golden sage]

let me search that up, 1 sec

[tidal geyser]

what store is that

[smoky zealot]

The mobo I have is $200 and has some pretty good specs.

[tidal geyser]

send link

[tidal geyser]

nice

[rigid fjord]

for example a tuf b850 plus/gamingg plus does 3x nvme's and has wifi options but is cheaper

[golden sage]

oh, that looks cheaper, also this store is called "Techyard" https://thetechyard.com/

[tidal geyser]

why not this one??
https://thetechyard.com/products/gigabyte-b650-eagle-am5-atx-motherboard

[golden sage]

My router is WIFI 7

[tidal geyser]

and

[golden sage]

good question actually-

[rigid fjord]

https://thetechyard.com/products/asus-tuf-gaming-b850m-plus-wifi6e-atx-motherboard-copy?_pos=6&_fid=2c9e0d3c1&_ss=c also an option

[tidal geyser]

its not gonna make even a small difference

[sinful cobalt]

dont get x870

[tidal geyser]

OMG M-ATX board and its fucking so close to 2X the price

[rigid fjord]

just because your router does a certain wifi speed, it doesn't mean your mobo has to

[sinful cobalt]

also this tech sale is all bullshit

[empty quartz]

Amd drivers

[glass crest]

Do u guys have fast startup enabled or disabled? -getting kernelpower critical error from shutdowns/turning on

[golden sage]

me who got an OLED from that same store just yesterday: 💀 🗿

[sinful cobalt]

what specs oled

[peak knot]

just finished doing a couple more touch ups to my voltage reference project

[golden sage]

360hz 1440p

[rigid fjord]

https://thetechyard.com/products/asus-tuf-gaming-b850m-plus-wifi6e-motherboard-copy?_pos=7&_fid=2c9e0d3c1&_ss=c @tidal geyser you should see this one

[sinful cobalt]

how much and what model

[rigid fjord]

sweet

[tidal geyser]

i know the store is shit

[peak knot]

grounded the chassis, added external grounding point, and added a rubber base to make it slip resistant

[golden sage]

SLS was $1079, overhere it was $1029 and with that $40 voucher i bought it for $989 (i did sell off my IPS for another $300 so i really paid like $689 for this)

[sinful cobalt]

that store has a shit load of problems, their prebuilt pcs all have bombs for psus till 2k sgd

[somber void]

Brand new b550 or used X570

[sinful cobalt]

i bought my 360hz 1440p AW2725DF for $784

[tidal geyser]

does it make a difference?

also why not a used b450 or smn

[somber void]

X570 is way cheaper

[tidal geyser]

so buy a used b450

[golden sage]

ooohh nice

[rigid fjord]

b550

[tidal geyser]

ngl if you can afford even a used x570 cmon just go am5 already

[golden sage]

+1

[sinful cobalt]

next time shld ask me before buying stuff bruh

[rigid fjord]

cheaper but shit from a power distribution point of view

[golden sage]

does ur monitor allow u to turn off pixel shift or

[sinful cobalt]

wdym pixel shift

u mean turn off pixels so they are entirely black?

basically all oleds do that

[golden sage]

(from gemini)

[sinful cobalt]

yea the alienware does

[somber void]

Am5 boards and ddr5 is really expensive in my country and i just recently bought new ram so i dont wanna buy it again
The X570 board is 90 euros (Asus ROG crosshair dark hero III or smthn) and the B550 is 110 euros

[sinful cobalt]

my only problem is the lack of headphone jack on the monitor itself

[true stirrup]

amazon.de

[sinful cobalt]

had to buy a longer adapter connect to my pc

[tidal geyser]

what country

[golden sage]

wait does this one have a KVM switch? i mainly got the aorus mainly due to me swapping from work laptop to my personal desktop

[peak knot]

x570 just has more nvme slots but other than that both are pretty much the same

[tidal geyser]

also why tf did you buy more ram rather then just saving up and going am5

[rigid fjord]

so it's a ROG board not an asus board

[peak knot]

ROG is asus

[sinful cobalt]

nope no KVM

[true stirrup]

They are in Croatia if I remember correctly

[rigid fjord]

yes but also remember there's ROG and then there's ROG Strix, asus does like to treat them a little differently

[tidal geyser]

o wow do they really use euro

[sinful cobalt]

its pretty barebone for a monitor which I dont mind since I have long enough cables

[golden sage]

also it seems the ports on the aorus is hdmi 2.1, while the alienware is 2.0, but honestly both seem to be really good monitors, but personally i would've picked the aorus due to me needing the kvm switch

[somber void]

ROG is an asus brand right?

[tidal geyser]

yeah they in the EU

[golden sage]

isnt ROG a "premium" or "top" line of asus

[sinful cobalt]

I think the samsung has KVM, but its abit hard to find for sub 900 during sale

[golden sage]

yeah bro

[somber void]

I kinda need the additional nvme slots tho

[true stirrup]

Yeah they switched not long ago

[golden sage]

okay but brands aside, i've been having a blast with the 360hz, i can notice it in games

[rigid fjord]

ROG is to ASUS as LEXUS is to TOYOTA tbh, the same but not quiet the same

[somber void]

Yeah by asus

[peak knot]

ROG is more just what they like to put their premium gaming things under its not as much a real differentiator

[sinful cobalt]

icic, enjoy ur oled experience

[golden sage]

thank you my friend

[somber void]

Yeah makes sense

[coral pebble]

Hey guys, apologies for the message but I was wondering if I could get some help with choosing a laptop for 1000-1200 euros?

[tidal geyser]

you can go am5 for the massive price of 212euro OFC not good this is just to prove a point
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/dLFmv4

[somber void]

Oh wow

[golden sage]

okay but @tidal geyser and @rigid fjord is there anything i need to take note of by going from ASUS to gigabyte?

[somber void]

That kinda is my budget

200 - 250 euros

[tidal geyser]

i ask again what are your current parts

[tidal geyser]

yeah no save up a wee bit more

[somber void]

No more stupid armoury crate bloatware

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

you do understand there is no reason to install it even if you have asus right?

and then if you still want or for some reason need to install the app the board uses then you still have to deal with GCC

[somber void]

I made the mistake

[golden sage]

Its an Asus TUF gaming z790-plus with i9 12900KS with Liquid freezer II 360mm, trident Z5 7200mts 32gb with an RTX 5080, three Adata XPG S40G pcie 3x4 nvme, HX850 80+ Platinum PSU

also @somber void i dont have that installed, i control my RGB thru signal-RGB and it has been way easy for me

[tidal geyser]

anyways here https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/g8swZc

lowest i would go

[true stirrup]

That ram 😭

[tidal geyser]

hey it gets him on am5 and he can still OC the ram

[somber void]

Over my budget

[tidal geyser]

that cpu should be fine

[somber void]

Im sticking with am4

[tidal geyser]

yeah why i said sav e up also why not sell the old shit

[golden sage]

heres the thing, i've been spending up to a week and i've concluded both the board and CPU is dead, hence moving to AMD

[tidal geyser]

and why did you mark three

[somber void]

My dad needs it for his pc so i cant

[golden sage]

good question honestly,

[tidal geyser]

aaa nice well not really

[tidal geyser]

wat?

[golden sage]

For me i basically tried to find something closest to the Z790 without breaking the bank, so far i've seen its that X870 aorus elite, but you guys recommended me the B850 so i've been seeing the differences

[somber void]

He has an old celeron and he wants my i3 10100f and mobo for his pc
And i cant sell it to him because im not an adult

[tidal geyser]

go for the b650 i found with three nvme slots

[tidal geyser]

what and what

[golden sage]

xD, quick question tho ill be re-using the "XMP" Z5 tridents, i've asked this question here before and i was told it'll be fine, just wanna clarify again if this is fine or do i need to get kits with "EXPO"

[somber void]

U dont get it do you

[true stirrup]

Ofc you can sell it even if you are not an adult

[sinful cobalt]

just get the b850 aorus elite brother

[somber void]

I said im not

[tidal geyser]

you are going from a old and shitty platform to a still old but not as shitty of a platform also you can still sell stuff if its yours

[tidal geyser]

he too

[true stirrup]

Yeah you are giving it to your father
That is very nice of you

[tidal geyser]

NAUUUUU its like 2X the price of a board that does the same thing

[somber void]

Isnt it

[sinful cobalt]

what board did u reco him

[tidal geyser]

the b650 one

[sinful cobalt]

which one

[tidal geyser]

go up

[somber void]

Alright used X570 it is

[sinful cobalt]

give me model name

[tidal geyser]

go up

[tidal geyser]

used b450

save up for am5

[sinful cobalt]

go up where

[tidal geyser]

here

[sinful cobalt]

as much as I want to also say eagle ax

he has a 5080 and idt he wants a cheapsss board

[tidal geyser]

what??????????????

[true stirrup]

It's a completely fine board

[tidal geyser]

there is ZERO reason to go for a higher end board

[sinful cobalt]

I know

[tidal geyser]

so why did you say that then

[sinful cobalt]

But considering a 5080 which has shit value here, I’d think he want a nice looking one

Its just what I think

[true stirrup]

So basically you are just looking at aesthetics?

[sinful cobalt]

I have no problems with the B650 eagle ax

its just my opinion on what he’s gonna prefer

[tidal geyser]

god i love this so much

[true stirrup]

Sick

[smoky zealot]

I did a free windows installation from microsoft website and this happens

[tidal geyser]

so much blocked stuff

[sinful cobalt]

@golden sage Wait can u dm me whats ur plans rn

[tidal geyser]

say you do not have a key

[smoky zealot]

Nope

[tidal geyser]

yay a good reason to go for more storage even tho i have no cameras

[tidal geyser]

uhm yes

[smoky zealot]

Ohh I read that wrong

[true stirrup]

You don't need a key

[smoky zealot]

My fault, I meant I did that already.

[tidal geyser]

uuuhhhmmm then i dono skill issue

[smoky zealot]

Ill show you when im there. Cuz this is diabolical.

Been trying to fix it for the past 4 hours

[elder quarry]

install without key and then enter key

[tidal geyser]

already tried it

[golden sage]

my plans rn (With a dead 12900ks and z790) i wanna move to x870 and 9950x3d. thats all, i wanna also know if my trident z5 ddr5 16x2 intel kit will work with the x870, and i also wanna hear other people's opinions like above rauko and sim where showing me B850 boards and b650 board etc

[smoky zealot]

Well im using a 8gb usb, but its pretty old. BUT its worked on my previous build.

Imma go tmrw to best Buy and get another usb.

[peak knot]

should just get z490 lol

has more NVME than x470 and similair specs to x570

love my amd z490

[true stirrup]

Could just be a broken windows installer
Try to install a new one on the usb

[peak knot]

have my 8 core ryzen 1200 in it atm

[sinful cobalt]

1 sec ill give ya smth in dms

[smoky zealot]

I did a re-install like 5 times already, changed to different usb ports, and still nothing

[true stirrup]

There is no point in going with X870 except if it has some niche case you need
Also yeah that ram will work completely fine

[smoky zealot]

Alr look.

I press agree To install

It then tells me to type product key, I click I dont have a product key, i choose which os I want, it starts downloading just for it to say some bs

Ive had so many problems with trying to install windows for free, i feel like just buying one for $130

But ive used the same 2 usb. One doesnt work it just sends me to bios. But the mobo reads it.

[true stirrup]

That's weird

Try to put the installer onto the USB using Rufus and remove all the restrictions

[smoky zealot]

How do I do that?

[tidal geyser]

well you click on the place that says i do not have a product key

[smoky zealot]

Ik thats what I do.

[tidal geyser]

show us every step

[tidal geyser]

just choose home

zero reason for you to go pro

[smoky zealot]

I chose pro, said some bs, did it again chose home, said some bs

I even tried windows 10

[tidal geyser]

ok show what it says when you choose home

[smoky zealot]

Alr, it takes for ever tho idk why. It just loads hella.

Like when I sent the blue screen it took for ever to show install windows 11 and remove data.

[tidal geyser]

how old is that USB drive you are using

[smoky zealot]

Tbh not sure, I asked my dad if he had a usb from work and he did. That was 3 years ago

I can show you a picture of it after this download shit is done.

[tidal geyser]

yeah why not

[smoky zealot]

This is one of em

Either sends me straight to bios, or the recovery blue screen.

[tidal geyser]

Yeeeaaa I would go and grab a new usb drive

[smoky zealot]

Yeah hopefully it solves it, just built my new rig (upgrade from last one) ive been dying to play on it.

Im genuinely gonna lose it. Why does it just not work anymore. Its worked before.

[inner veldt]

Is this fan build ok?

Not using aio

[tidal geyser]

how just to check you know how physics work, what way does hot air go

[inner veldt]

From exhaust

[tidal geyser]

eh?

[inner veldt]

And top left fan

[tidal geyser]

in general what way does air go

hot air

[smoky zealot]

Well @tidal geyser i just gave up. You think I should buy a os key code?

[iron glen]

i know! i know!

it rises!

[tidal geyser]

NOOOO

[iron glen]

nevr give up

[tidal geyser]

Go to the local store and pick up a 8GB+ 3$ uab stick

Have you messed with the bios at all, what boot drive do you have

[smoky zealot]

Oh brother ive been doing it for 5 hours now and nothing, just same shit over and over

[iron glen]

also hi sim

[smoky zealot]

Wdym boot drive? 😅

[tidal geyser]

With the same usb drive

[tidal geyser]

The drive you install windows on

[smoky zealot]

Like my ssd?

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[smoky zealot]

A samsung 990 evo

[true stirrup]

Do you have a spare HDD or SSD? You can partition that and install the windows installer onto that

[iron glen]

hi MD

[smoky zealot]

Oh shi I tried zooming in

[true stirrup]

hi brownie

[smoky zealot]

Well the samsung 990 Evo Plus

[tidal geyser]

Meh it's fine

[iron glen]

for some reason ion think sim was asking that but then again im no expert

[smoky zealot]

I had a ssd, I put it into my laptop for more space. Should I take it out?

I was thinking of doing it if I ended up running out of space

[true stirrup]

I mean you can try using it to install windows and then just put it back into the laptop

[smoky zealot]

Yeah, ill try later on today since its 3:14 am.

[true stirrup]

Also before that reinstall the entire ISO for windows installer just incase

[smoky zealot]

Also what do you mean by “partition it”

[iron glen]

basically split it

[smoky zealot]

Mmm gotcha.

[tidal geyser]

He is thinking wrong ish

Just get a usb drive

[iron glen]

one part has your os and stuff, the other is empty space

[tidal geyser]

Sata and usb drives get recognised differently

[craggy cove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PcBuildHelp/s/aCH8NVe8t9

world's worst tetris player?

[smoky zealot]

This will be my first thing. If nothing ill try the other method

Found a usb for $8 64gb, gonna go pick that up later this afternoon

[true stirrup]

I have no words

[iron glen]

... how..?

how do you not think about what you're doing

[craggy cove]

lined up the arrows, must be right

thats why i fill my steering wheel with gasoline

[iron glen]

"man theres alot of tension and resistance on this expensive computer part, better slam it in extra hard for good measure"

[craggy cove]

maybe its like ram

[iron glen]

sand the edges off so it'll fit better?

[craggy cove]

just remove 151 pins

[carmine light]

Does anyone know how ryzen 9000 series handles 128gb of ram at 6000mts

On 4 sticks of 32

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT use 4 sticks

Just get 2 64GB sticks

[iron glen]

im curious, y not

[true stirrup]

You would have to be lucky to run 6000MT/s on gear 1

[carmine light]

It would be for an upgrade in the future it would not make sense money wise

[tidal geyser]

Shitty imc well just in general ddr5 is hard to run

[tidal geyser]

What are ya doing

[carmine light]

4 sticks of cl30 6000mts 32gb sticks

[tidal geyser]

Omg

What are you doing that needs that much ram

[carmine light]

Roblox

[tidal geyser]

If you say gaming I will throw you out the window

[iron glen]

server maybe?

[tidal geyser]

Then go server stuff

[carmine light]

I just want to know if it will work that's all

[tidal geyser]

Whyyyy

[iron glen]

no

[carmine light]

I'll find out i guess

[plush wren]

the sony site pisses me off so fucking much what is this

[random gyro]

Yea true

[buoyant vapor]

Im buying these 5 computer parts and have around a £500 budget for them, is there anything that could be worth changing?

Quality is quite poo sorry if hard to see

[viscid helm]

this option really shouldn't be on by default

it was the main reason they bypassed my 2-step when I got hijacked

Don't ask again = less security and I wonder why it's ticked by default

[rigid fjord]

you'd have a laugh at my book i use for password storage

[tidal geyser]

Why not go am5

What parts do you already own

[buoyant vapor]

I want an intel build and i have a rtx 4060 ti and nzxt h6 flow case

[tidal geyser]

Oof

[tidal geyser]

Anyways you do know why I am urging you to go am5 right?

[buoyant vapor]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

So why not go am5

[upper abyss]

could someone help me? on discord and chrome the windows randomly "freeze" (but still accept input like writing or scrolling) and theres a small "chunk" that is being updated.
id appreciate help 😭

[buoyant vapor]

I dont want to 🍆

[tidal geyser]

What????

[fallow yacht]

wasss crackin

[rigid fjord]

both the ram and ssd should be changed tbh

[buoyant vapor]

What is problem with?

[sleek ibex]

[rigid fjord]

the ssd itself is a little overpriced for it's capacity, and the ram choice itself is pure 💩

[buoyant vapor]

Do you have any suggestions for the ram?

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/q7LdnQ/ cheaper while being massively better

[buoyant vapor]

Also would this be fine or can i find better?

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/rqhv6h/ better ssd option

[rigid fjord]

no, you changed a slightly overpriced ssd for an utterly shit one

[buoyant vapor]

Oh

[raw trout]

I use the 512 one

[rigid fjord]

at some point i'mma be swapping out my sn500 500gb for a 2tb+ drive, either a 2tb sn580 or a 4tb nm790 tbf

[strong pollen]

Hi is there anything i need to do before transferring my nvme from my old pc to my new one?

[rigid fjord]

uninstall drivers tbh

[strong pollen]

Kinda hard since my old pc broke but can i boot from a usb drive in bios and make a clean install?

[gloomy sleet]

assetto corsa evo is weird they just somehow tripled my framerate in one update

[elder quarry]

Use Linux

[gloomy sleet]

went from 40fps to 120fps on the same settings in one update

they unironically flicked the “optimise game switch”

[rigid fjord]

yeah, sure

[strong pollen]

Okay thanks

[rigid fjord]

tbh, it's better to do a clean install if you're swapping it over between computers

[upper abyss]

fuck no 😭

[elder quarry]

why not

[upper abyss]

tried it and its just inconvinient to the average user

aint tryna become a coder to download simple stuff, also some stuff doesnt exist for linux

[rigid fjord]

stop suggesting people to go linux dude

[elder quarry]

why

it's good

[rigid fjord]

it's not helpful, and you're not even explaining to them why they should

[elder quarry]

FOSS, very stable, much free software, faster, lower hardware requirements and more

basically can't crash

[rigid fjord]

some distro's are good, some not so much, you also got to remember how many people are gamers that play games that use anti cheats which don't work with linux

[elder quarry]

yeah that's sad

[elder quarry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzl1B7nB9Kc

[gloomy sleet]

dang thats quite a bit for 36 switches

£1.54 per switch is fucking insane

[raw trout]

It cost a keyboard to get switches here in india

[brisk sun]

hello guys my one of my rgb fans is suddenly not lighting today i want someone to come voice and help me

[steel umbra]

gamin is slowly getting better on linux

[rigid fjord]

me who's looking at £45 for 104 switches

[steel umbra]

hopefully more studios will support it, but understandably coding games in two os’s or more and maintaining them is costly

i would say it’s in matter of time if linux gets popular enough more aaa’s will switch to supporting it

[rigid fjord]

while true, it's limited to only a couple of distro's tbh

[steel umbra]

technically you can make it run on pretty much any distro with some 🔧

if your distro specifically is unsupported

[midnight jungle]

should i get a 689 5070 or to add a more for a 5070ti

[gloomy sleet]

that’s normal

unlike these

[sinful cobalt]

what a scam

[gloomy sleet]

real

[gloomy sleet]

i’m gonna buy these

[cloud sparrow]

Where do you download this?

[frail delta]

dotnet.microsoft.com

[cloud sparrow]

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download
Which one

[rigid fjord]

download both, then install the v.8.0 then 9.0 after

[stiff prawn]

not a pc question but need help with steam

im trying to download rust and after 4 attempts

i keep getting "corrupt disk" at 99%

[zealous crystal]

Try doing a chkdsk on the drive you are attempting to install on maybe?

[stiff prawn]

also the drive seems to be normal because i downloaded an update of rainbow six on the same drive

[stiff prawn]

how do i do that btw

[stiff prawn]

Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.

also there are "file record segments" with numbers which are "orphan"

[zealous crystal]

Might have to schedule to run on a reboot then.

https://youtu.be/HKSwtoZ3fk4?si=XS9JvP3qqKReu1OV

this should help ya out.

[stiff prawn]

whys this even happening though, i havent changed anything :/ i can update/download new content on this drive

[zealous crystal]

Between that, and the sfc scan are great go to things when stuff acts wonky.

[stiff prawn]

but not this specific game (rust)

[zealous crystal]

Could even be just clearing the cache in steam.

My brother ran into the same exact issue, did a chkdsk and sfc scan then cleared cache in steam. Once they were done it downloaded fine.

[stiff prawn]

i did that :/

im trying a new method, changing the name "downloading" folder

and downloading the game into a new folder

im pretty sure its just a steam problem instead of something to do with my pc :c

[left dove]

Merry weekend you stinky fuckers

[upper abyss]

me tired

[zealous crystal]

That would be the next option too is checking the download file path. Could even be if Steam has a corrupted file in downloads it can interfere with other games downloading.

[left dove]

so in the steam folder on whatever drive that you're installing to

[left dove]

so like, D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/

delete the downloading & temp folders

tbh I'd also do this for those two folders in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\ as well to be safe

[gusty wagon]

merry weekend you flagbearer

[left dove]

[gusty wagon]

?????????

[left dove]

Iupdated it like a week ago lmao

your cache is o l d

oh hey good mornin topslop 💕

i see u

[gusty wagon]

:O

[latent gull]

weird, for me on mobile it shows the cat, on desktop it shows the old one

[left dove]

so, cat is per-server

my face is core profile

[latent gull]

that makes sense, cause i know ive seen desktop glitch out with those per-server profiles a lot

like the guy who used to be a mod here, it would always jump back and forth with him

[left dove]

yeah soup earf is mad fucked tbh

[left dove]

[sinful cobalt]

merry weekend you flagbearer

[gusty wagon]

hello go shoot some squids

[sinful cobalt]

no im gonna do surgery on my pc

[gusty wagon]

no time for that

[sinful cobalt]

P14 maxes and AM5 kryosheet

[latent gull]

always time for maintenance

[gusty wagon]

nice

[sinful cobalt]

also first time going comex today i learnt that 90% of it is all bullshit

[gusty wagon]

not so in the past

[sinful cobalt]

heard the same

now half of the booths is all purifiers and door lock shit

over there for pc is only like
prison+
aftertrash
trollcore

imma be fr gng its all mostly bs now

[gleaming rose]

:3

[brave brook]

one just needs to wait out the current fad, they always come in cycles

like anyone still remembers the hoverboads. They were big a decade ago, now no one remembers them. Now the current fad is e-scooters.

Same in computer tech. Anyone remembers netbooks? 3D TV & whatever that NVIDIA thing was ?

Few years ago everyone was doing Alexa/Siri/Google assistant etc. Now they do AI.

Or everyone gone for cloud and SaaS. Now everyone is pulling back

[left dove]

hoverboards/mono-wheel vehicles are still a thing

[sinful cobalt]

there was like 0 ai shit at comex surprisingly

its mainly home appliances

[latent gull]

good, maybe we can get interesting shit again

[obsidian urchin]

my friend has windows parental controls and screen time limits 😭

i didnt even know that existed

[lethal moth]

will this be fine for cleaning thermal paste off the cpu?

[obsidian urchin]

Yeah isopropyl alcohol is fine to use

[steel umbra]

if there are no additives it’s perfect

i would grab a 1L it’s useful for other things too

[lethal moth]

okay, it doesnt say any additives so just using these two would be good?

[tidal geyser]

a paper towl is fine

[steel umbra]

you don’t need qtips, kitchen towels r better

make sure there is no dust on either to prevent scratches, altough it barely matters

[tidal geyser]

after trying to use qtips my first time replacing thermalpaste 5 years ago i now would never ever say use em

[lethal moth]

alright- i dont have kitchen towels, would just toilet paper work?

[steel umbra]

for some people it may be unappealing to have scratches ihs id you care

[steel umbra]

no

[tidal geyser]

that is what i do

[tidal geyser]

what?

[steel umbra]

toilet towels leave pieces around

[tidal geyser]

not really

[steel umbra]

i assume you’re using single layered toilet paper?

[tidal geyser]

single layered

[tidal geyser]

what

but i dono i just use whatever whenever and it all works

you just do not rub on the side

[lethal moth]

alright, i'd inspect it to make sure there were no leftover fibres but ill just buy kitchen towels

[tidal geyser]

do you not already have some?

[lethal moth]

im assuming i just apply a bit of the isopropyl alcohol to the kitchen towel

[steel umbra]

you have toilet papers in layers you can purchase, common are single layered, double and triple, and sometimes quad

[lethal moth]

no haha

[tidal geyser]

just use toilet paper

used it for like 50+ computers its fine

[lethal moth]

yeah i'd assume its fine, but i have read a few sources that it leaves microscopic fibres and i'd rather it be as clean as possible

[steel umbra]

single layered tends to be on average atleast from my experience the most resistant to not tear or leave fibers behind, anything more than that and you’ll have hairs of toilet paper on the ihs pretty much with one or two wipes

[tidal geyser]

wa

[lethal moth]

if i'm already gonna get expensive thermal paste and a new cooler then might aswell get cheap paper towels

[tidal geyser]

the cooler comes with thermal paste

[steel umbra]

kitchen towels are useful… why not have them?

[tidal geyser]

for me its super clean

if i ever get anything i just blow it away

[steel umbra]

for degreasing your fried food for example after cooking them

[tidal geyser]

what if you do not eat greasy food?

[steel umbra]

the fibers tend to stick you know after the ipa dries

[tidal geyser]

no

i use a big ass light even and nope still super duper shiny

[steel umbra]

ig you have better toilet paper

they’re all vastly different

[sharp path]

there is no way...no way my phone just died cause water splashed on my phone while i was in the bath tub

there is absolutely no way

[steel umbra]

@lethal moth wipe something with a toilet paper and see if it breaks down or leaves fibers

[tidal geyser]

well yea?

[sharp path]

im talking like small amount of water

its an s23 ultra..it shouldn't

[steel umbra]

yes even a drop inside can kill your phone

[tidal geyser]

electronics and water do not mix OMG

[iron glen]

sim have you seen the "usb killers" on tiktok / social media

[steel umbra]

maybe it wouldn’t if it was off

[tidal geyser]

also why would the phone be in the bathroom

[tidal geyser]

yeah like 6 years ago

[sharp path]

im not super worried cause i have samsung care plus

[tidal geyser]

o dear lord, how much did you spend on that

[sharp path]

samsung care +?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[sharp path]

its like $10 per month

[steel umbra]

so ur not going to spend a dime on a repair? or is the samsung’s program like apple’s where you just get a discount

[iron glen]

are we talking about the same thing? they've probably existed since usbs have but im talking about the cut usb cables / chargers. what do you think of them

[tidal geyser]

per month

[sharp path]

the second one

[tidal geyser]

no clue

[sharp path]

$29 screen replacement and $99 hardware stuff

[steel umbra]

so you don’t care about wasting money?

[tidal geyser]

its 100% a mobo issue

aka new phone time

[sharp path]

how is it wasting money?

[steel umbra]

that’s not too off from standard non certified repair shop, cheaper actually so not that bad

[iron glen]

apparently you plug it in to a device and it should short-circuit it or smth

[tidal geyser]

yes it sends like 1000v straight into the data pins

[steel umbra]

as far as i know samsung isn’t doing proprietary stuff where they will not allow you to swap out parts for non genuine parts

or sometimes even with genuine but locks you anyways

[tidal geyser]

wait 29$ OLED

[tidal geyser]

that is not a samsung store or at least you are getting one hell of a deal

[steel umbra]

you’re paying $10 a month, you killed your phone by using your phone in a bathub

[tidal geyser]

a actual OLED screen alone is like 100-200$

[lethal moth]

already bought paper towels

[tidal geyser]

and then putting it in is like 50-100$ in labor

[iron glen]

probably the same thing, doesn't really make sense to me but i was js curious if they're bogus or not

[tidal geyser]

its not

tis very real

[gloomy sleet]

its real

they literally just sent high voltage through the main board

the only way to fix an attack by one is to replace everything plugged into the motherboard

[steel umbra]

hehe charger explosion

[tidal geyser]

and totally not like they have protections against it well should have

[gloomy sleet]

most dont

the protections are the user not plugging in random usb drives into their computer

[tidal geyser]

no they do have protections against ESD or just you know failed usb devices

[gloomy sleet]

cool

doubt most boards have 1000v protection though

thats a few volts

[simple ermine]

Guys I just got these stickers from NinjaOne but like I really do not understand the 127.9.0.1 one. Can anyone explain to my dumb ass

[tidal geyser]

local address

[abstract wigeon]

any idea how i tell it to boot from the iso usb? cant find it anywhere? or do i just go through the bios and start the laptop

[steel umbra]

go to the pc address and get doxxed

[tidal geyser]

boot list options

[lethal moth]

@tidal geyser i want to know your opinion because i get 100 celsius on cs2

[tidal geyser]

or file browse add boot option

[abstract wigeon]

cant press it, not a button

[simple ermine]

Loopback is 127.0.0.1?

[tidal geyser]

what cpu

what cooler

[gloomy sleet]

what cooler and cpu are you using now

[abstract wigeon]

it asks for an input for the boot device name?

[lethal moth]

i9-11900f
currently intel stock cool

[tidal geyser]

too bad

[steel umbra]

get the cheapest 4 heatpipe 120mm cooler

tower

[tidal geyser]

WHAT TF i thought me doing it was funny but you doing it no pleas

[steel umbra]

cook

🧑‍🍳

[lethal moth]

im pretty sure 120mm wont even fit in there with the ram and mobo placement thingy thing

[wheat torrent]

I love I love I love I love compression

[simple ermine]

Peerless assassin is about as much cooler for your money as you can get imo

[lethal moth]

thats why im changing!

[steel umbra]

which mb and case

[tidal geyser]

what how would that work

[brave brook]

everything is "still a thing". But it is a niche thing, not a "must have one to be cool among peers" thing.

[tidal geyser]

with a single tower its not even close to the ram slots

[lethal moth]

current temps with steam open

[lethal moth]

z590 ud ac and noooo idea

[steel umbra]

the motherboard is compatible with such tower then

[tidal geyser]

and the phantom spirit 120se dual tower air cooler is made to fit almost ALL even MASSIVE ram

[lethal moth]

That ain't fitting

[abstract wigeon]

not as bad as paying for 4k netflix and being served 480p

[steel umbra]

check the case if it has about 150mm of clearance in the spec sheet

[tidal geyser]

the phantom spirit 120 se would ez fit

[gloomy sleet]

your internet is ass

[abstract wigeon]

i think most coolers would

[gloomy sleet]

just download them from netflix

[tidal geyser]

eh just about

[tawny lava]

Is 2080 super to 5070 ti a big enough upgrade?

[abstract wigeon]

'just download them'

[steel umbra]

yes just buy a tower

[lethal moth]

i already bought the cooler because i couldnt get anyone to respond to me yesterday about cooler 😭

[tidal geyser]

yea

[steel umbra]

or dual t

[gloomy sleet]

yeah just download it

[tidal geyser]

92mm

single tower xd

[abstract wigeon]

skip the netflix middle man

[wheat torrent]

lmao

[gloomy sleet]

no

[kindred halo]

Holy shit 60Hz feels so slow on a 90Hz screen (mobile)

[gloomy sleet]

netflix allows you to download stuff

[tidal geyser]

not on pc

[lethal moth]

my monitor only JUST has 60hz lmao

[wheat torrent]

I know it's grass and whatnot and its moving so compression is tough but cmon

[lethal moth]

should i overclock my monitor

[tidal geyser]

how tf do you have a 11900f

[kindred halo]

1080p?

[simple ermine]

I tried, didn’t work

[wheat torrent]

I feel like compression gets worse with time rather than getting better

[lethal moth]

yh

[wheat torrent]

too much users

[gloomy sleet]

it does

[lethal moth]

i bought it

[kindred halo]

I was on 768p60Hz lmao

[lethal moth]

😭

[tidal geyser]

but you are still on 1080p 60

[kindred halo]

My "current" monitor is 900p75Hz

[lethal moth]

yeah i need to upgrade my monitor

[tidal geyser]

i do hope it was only 50 or 100

[kindred halo]

If you're in the US you can get great deals

[wheat torrent]

to be honest I think 90hz on mobile would feel better than 90hz on a big monitor?
anyone can fact check?

[kindred halo]

The MP251 E1 is a good budget screen

[kindred halo]

It does
ALOT

[steel umbra]

shocked, surprised, astonished, stunned

[kindred halo]

You're much closer, and able to feel the difference more

[steel umbra]

startled

[wheat torrent]

the display is that much smaller for mobile

tbh why do companies cheap out on small displays like on watches and whatnot, is it that expensive to get a higher refresh rate for a digital watch

[kindred halo]

Much less pixels to move, and much closer so you can see them all

[simple ermine]

But really I have no idea what 127.9.0.1 means because it’s not the loopback / home / local address

[wheat torrent]

I looked at a few watches and that shit feels like 30hz

[frigid blade]

For the longest time I thought my board should be able to do at least 5600 cl34 stable with 4 dimms, I just checked to see how bad it actually was. Its pretty bad lol

Im not sure why I expected so much from a $100 board

[kindred halo]

They probably are 30Hz lmao
Or can't run 60Hz

[lethal moth]

unfortunately not

arent most movies like 24Hz

[wheat torrent]

just take a high resolution oled display and cut it in pieces

[distant frigate]

https://youtu.be/yHrGN243JNA?si=t7dyv1721kHKJKl1

[wheat torrent]

[lethal moth]

i love swap <3

[frigid blade]

overclock your monitor refresh rate

[wheat torrent]

4gb of ram and 1tb of hdd swap

[kindred halo]

Like.. Sub 100 to 110 for trustable 144Hz 24in monitors

[lethal moth]

i tried.
it refused

[frigid blade]

some monitors can do up to 76Hz, its a nice bump

[distant frigate]

Love me 1 TB of RAM

[lethal moth]

i have £5 in my bank

[kindred halo]

I think so?
Are you planning to just watch stuff & browse the Internet or game?

[frigid blade]

young? mow some lawns

[lethal moth]

gayming

[wheat torrent]

remember when LTT used this ssd expansion card that was faster than ram?
I wonder how performant would that be as swap memory?

[kindred halo]

Checks out, healthcare probably stopped paying for your vicodine

[lethal moth]

16 yeah
but i've applied for a j*b

[kindred halo]

Then you'll need the extra Hertz

[frigid blade]

well in the meantime you can always do other stuff for extra cash, thats what I did as a kid

[lethal moth]

eh ive survived long enough with 60

[upper abyss]

can someone Name a funny fact

im bored

[kindred halo]

As in, as opposed to just getting a 100Hz 1080p monitor

[lethal moth]

planning on doing simple tech jobs like cleaning, getting rid of viruses, allat

[frigid blade]

aha

[lethal moth]

£5

[kindred halo]

I am planning on working at my cousin's tech shop for around 150-200 US a month during the summer

[lethal moth]

i mean i'm not paying for 1L of isopropyl 99.9% alcohol and 1g of thermal paste just to use it once

[kindred halo]

Scam enough patients and it'll work

[frigid blade]

i feel like this is not a fair pay at all lol, if youre actually working

[kindred halo]

Minimum wage here is like 300 USD lmao

[lethal moth]

im mainly broke because of this

[lethal moth]

good idea

[gloomy sleet]

why would you buy a £30 headset

[kindred halo]

I am getting payed near minimum wage at 4 years from the age requirement 0

[gloomy sleet]

brother moondrop chu 2 exists

[lethal moth]

jesus really? In the UK its like £400 and our GBP is cheaper than a USD

[lethal moth]

earphones break within like a month for me because of my anxiety i kinda... chew on the cables

[kindred halo]

Strike that, I am earning actual minimum wage
$200 a month

[lethal moth]

christs

[kindred halo]

Buy sleeves for the cables

[gloomy sleet]

they have replaceable cables

also just dont eat them

[lethal moth]

The National Minimum Wage for a 16-year-old worker in Scotland, and the rest of the UK, is £7.55 per hour. This rate was increased on April 1, 2025. The National Minimum Wage is a statutory minimum wage for workers under 21

[gloomy sleet]

chew gum or something

[lethal moth]

i dont like gum

[gloomy sleet]

idk chew ice?

[lethal moth]

guys how do i overclock monitor on linux 😔

[gloomy sleet]

iems will sound significantly better

[lethal moth]

i actually already do that.
And my phone case
And my shirt
And my trousers

[frigid blade]

read the docs?

[abstract wigeon]

any ideas why laptop is only expecting ethernet input and not wifi? just installed fresh windows11

[lethal moth]

im bad at reading 😭

[kindred halo]

I am probably lucky I am getting paid triple digits lmao

[frigid blade]

Ill never understand this

People want to be spoonfed literally anything

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[lethal moth]

the only docs i know is archwiki ❤️

[lethal moth]

yeah i did these exact settings

[frigid blade]

well i dont feel like looking further into it am busy

[wintry hollow]

added some RGB and...

[lethal moth]

my friend thought his pc needed new parts because his wallpaper went black 😔

[tidal geyser]

xd

just put in a new background

[lethal moth]

real

[abstract wigeon]

any ideas why wifi wouldnt be showing up in windows? its only showing ethernet options

[lethal moth]

driver issues?

[latent pasture]

wifi drivers

[lethal moth]

yeah, probably need to install drivers

[abstract wigeon]

through what sorry

[lethal moth]

what ethernet controller do you use

[abstract wigeon]

no ethernet

[lethal moth]

sorry wifi controller*

is it a laptop or desktop

[abstract wigeon]

laptop, little m.2 to wifi

[latent pasture]

connect ur phone thru usb to use internet for now and download it off the wifi chip's website

[abstract wigeon]

ill tell him

[lethal moth]

yeah, connect phone to laptop through usb and install wifi drivers from the manufacturers website for your specific device

[abstract wigeon]

can you do that on iphone?

[lethal moth]

yeah

[latent pasture]

only the iphone's data iirc

[abstract wigeon]

so no internet?

[tidal geyser]

dam i thought samsung was also able to

[latent pasture]

no i mean android can do
wifi>android>(usb PC)
iphone can only do iphones own internet>pc

[tidal geyser]

or most other android devices

[lethal moth]

samsung and iphone should both be able to

[lethal moth]

oh iphone is annoying 😔

you could use a really old android phone or a usb drive

[latent pasture]

idk if they updated it on iphone so just try
if not, then just download the files on the iphone directly then just manually transfer it thru the usb cable

[abstract wigeon]

plugged it in and dont see anything so ill try that

[lethal moth]

does the pc have working bluetooth drivers? You could do it via that but it'd probably be very slow

[latent pasture]

probably not cuz the bluetooth usually is on the same chip as wifi lol

[lethal moth]

usually yeah

[hidden hill]

Well pc isn’t booting again

Seems it’s going to have this issue every time I shut it down

[abstract wigeon]

no brand on it? how do i know what to instal

[eager rose]

is this safe to delete

since its all in my temp folder

[lethal moth]

if it was in your temp folder, yes its usually safe to delete

[eager rose]

phew

[brave brook]

Mediatek MT7921

[abstract wigeon]

thanks, how did you know?

[brave brook]

it literally says MT7921 on it

[abstract wigeon]

ahh thank you

[hidden hill]

I got into bios! Can anyone help me figure out what’s causing the failure to boot?

What should I look for in the bios

[stuck depot]

i don't think that running a ryzen 5 3600x with max 65w tdp on the cooler is a good thing.. bit of an oversight on my end but my paste is good so it helps it cool down

[latent pasture]

drop all overclocks including ram xmp

[latent pasture]

if u just want stock performance its good enough

[stuck depot]

i didn't overclock it but in the bios for some reason the voltage is at 1.47 on idle which is a bit too much for this cpu

[hidden hill]

Running a self test on the ssd, if that fails does that mean the ssd is my issue?

[stuck depot]

yes

[hidden hill]

No clue what else would cause an issue to not even boot at all, wasn’t even posting

[stuck depot]

in my case sometimes windows bootloader just craps itself and have to repair it manually

[hidden hill]

Yesterday it would go into the f2 to enter bios page but you couldn’t actually do anything

[latent pasture]

that isnt too abnormal since the cpu changes sht to push clocks on 1 or 2 cores etc
like for example if u do a multicore stress test stuff drops to 0.7v or something

[hidden hill]

How do you do that

Ssd passed the test

[latent pasture]

on single thread and minor boosts its normal that it spikes power to get a high st clock

[stuck depot]

windows install media, command prompt and then bcdedit bullshit

[stuck depot]

oh

[reef prawn]

Small question, if a PSU is rated for 500 watts of power, is that 500 watts from the wall or 500 watts being able to be used by the system?

[latent pasture]

thats why when overclocking people always include if 1.3v @ something Ghz and if under load or not

[hidden hill]

Looks like I got in after booting from the bios, what even causes this inconsistency

[hidden hill]

Got a good video to show how to fix it?

[latent pasture]

the wattage breakdown should be on the side of the psu or something

[stuck depot]

chris titus tech might have a few of them if i remember correctly

[hidden hill]

Ty

[stuck depot]

also check the bios first

maybe the bios somehow unselected the drive from the boot order

[hidden hill]

Think the and issue with this would be causing it to not even try to boot, not even trying to load

[hidden hill]

I’ll go back and check

[reef prawn]

So from the wall then?

[hidden hill]

He’s light doesn’t blink when the pc is having that boot issue too

Only when it blinks, does it actually start working

I mean this is fine right? It’s selected?

[frigid blade]

up your tune

hit the right arrow, does it let you select a better profile?

Oh, im not saying thats a fix to your issue

Just squeezes a little more performance out of the system

[hidden hill]

On sec

[latent pasture]

for example the psu above is a bad 500w, you can see it admits it can only provide 420w for the cpu gpu
meanwhile on the bottom is a higher quality psu and it it claims 492w so close to 500w
the voltages not 12 power stuff like the motherboard etc and some worse psus add them together then market the psu as a higher wattage to seem good

[hidden hill]

One sec*

[frigid blade]

To boot from menu, dont use the main bios, I think F11 or F12 will be your boot menu

then seelct the disk

[hidden hill]

Do pbo enhancement for the first step?

[tidal geyser]

anyways if its true 500w it will draw like 550 or maybe even more

[hidden hill]

And then exit and press f12?

[junior valve]

better looking stickers for my fans

[latent pasture]

bruh i thought u had crashing y r u trying pbo shit now thats like the last thing u wanna do

[frigid blade]

right, make sure you’re booting correctly, then make changes

[hidden hill]

Boots fine from the boot menu selection

But let me test shutting it down

This is where the problem arises, hopefully not again

Worked, I noticed it started to boot after a couple seconds of sitting on that bios selection screen

It’s like it’s detecting the boot option late, and sometimes not at all

[frigid blade]

Or your boot wait timer is set longer

[hidden hill]

Wonder why it wasn’t even posting earlier though, that was just weird

[frigid blade]

Did you change anything in the BIOS?

[hidden hill]

Nope just ran that ssd test

[frigid blade]

Earlier

[hidden hill]

Nope never entered bios before that

Would love to find the culprit though, not fun taking a gamble on if the pc works every time I shut down

[frigid blade]

It could just be a fluke

[hidden hill]

Maybe I should just sleep the pc and stop shutting it down

[frigid blade]

Is this a prebuilt?

[hidden hill]

Yeah thermaltake reactor 9880s

[frigid blade]

Maybe they never booted after installing ram to test or something on this one and it just needed more time for memory training

I’m not sure how long it takes on 2 dimms, but I know ddr5 is longer than ddr4

[hidden hill]

After like 7 hours of use, just needs to happen after shutting down?

[frigid blade]

Oh I thought it didn’t post the first time you turned it on

[hidden hill]

Nope, was a shut down that put it on the boot to bios page, but I couldn’t input any commands, was a dead page

Was working by the end of last night

When I tried this morning though, I wouldn’t even get the boot to bios screen for a sec, worked after power cycling 3 times

[frigid blade]

Do you have free returns/replacements? If you don’t feel like going through the troubleshooting I’d do that

I’ve been wanting you to build your own since you first started posting what you were looking at lol

[hidden hill]

I hate this kind of stuff though tbh, it’s stressful af

I’ll probably have geek squad take a look at it later on

Cause the top fans don’t have lighting for some reason either

[tough dagger]

is the nzxt relay lineup worth it?

[frigid blade]

Brooooo my memory training takes 3.5 minutes

[gleaming rose]

nothing nzxt is worth it

[tough dagger]

u sure it aint good it seems good

[frigid blade]

I hate tuning this memory

[gleaming rose]

then don't

[frigid blade]

I got it running stable 5400 34

I’m trying 5600 now

[gleaming rose]

yes

[frigid blade]

Which ran stable for weeks before I touched it and it killed itself

[gleaming rose]

its overpriced and not good

[tough dagger]

i can always take it back

[gleaming rose]

nzxt is a shit brand

[tough dagger]

what would u suggest thats a good sub and speaker combo

[gleaming rose]

then ignore my advice and do that

[trim warren]

Are those good ram or the vegance are better?

[tough dagger]

?

[abstract wigeon]

i doubt that you need dominator titaniums, vengeance will probably do fine, and if you dont want the rgb there are plenty of just as good performing much cheaper dimms

[steel umbra]

wrong ❌

[steel umbra]

no

[trim warren]

The fact is that for some reason the dominator are cheaper than the vegance in my country

[steel umbra]

nzxt has solid some of their case lineup like h5 flow is alright, and as for psus tehy have c gold which is pretty good at times for the price

[potent basin]

My case came with a 2 pin LED button, how can I set it up, do I need these? They're 3 pins aswell, so it makes me unsure where It goes, and if it should be somewhere in the mobo?

https://amzn.eu/d/czufWgQ

Rgb getting me confused 💀

Don't like rgb so I want to press the LED part and Make it red

[steel umbra]

is the button rgb?

[trim warren]

Other ram brands that are good?

[potent basin]

Yeah my cases Led button apparently changes Case fan colors, but It has a two pin header

[steel umbra]

with only ground and + it’s likely not controllable

[potent basin]

Yikes

How do people use it then

I've seen reddit posts mentioning to read the mobo manual

[steel umbra]

unplug

[steel umbra]

the mobo will only send power for the leds to light up or not if it has no other pins than gnd and positive

[potent basin]

It's not even connected and the things light up

So it's likely the 2 pins is for control

[latent pasture]

what case is it
with 2pin seems like it just switches the circuit which probably triggers its proprietary rgb hub to switch
the amazn link you sent is a dedicated controller/splitter and is unrelated and doesnt use this

[steel umbra]

can i see the connector

[latent pasture]

if ur gonna buy the hub u sent, then u can safely ignore this button

[steel umbra]

i’m sleepy

[potent basin]

It's a brand that no one in the US has probably heard of but it's really popular here in the middle east but will be laughed at

[bronze summit]

Not to be that guy, but don't you guys just play Crossfire?

[random gyro]

indubitably

[potent basin]

I'm different I play actual AAA games

[random gyro]

i cant understand anything that link says

[tidal geyser]

and google lens translate thingy is broken?

as its working for me

[latent pasture]

r u using this molex centipede?

[steel umbra]

check if the case itself on the front io’s circuit can change the power button’s lighting, if it has just one mode and the connector is 2 pin you won’t be able to change the rgb

[potent basin]

Yeah mine has that and connected to psu to power the fans

[random gyro]

i see that its a case i dont care enough to use google lens

[bronze summit]

The Middle East has been playing one game for 18 years now and it's crossfire

[tidal geyser]

i could not give less of a shit but it takes less then 15sec to do

[potent basin]

I never heard of crossfire till now 😭

[steel umbra]

does the case have a way to receive a signal to change the lighting

[potent basin]

That's what I'm asking, To find out where to put this 2 pin

[latent pasture]

the fans are molex and cant change rgb

[random gyro]

i dont think ive ever seen a middle eastern person not play crossfire

[steel umbra]

the power button tho

[potent basin]

[bronze summit]

The thing is it runs on everything

[latent pasture]

its for controllers like this that can use a switch trip to control its own rgb with some built in presets (if u choose to not use the motherboard input for some reason)

[bronze summit]

So when you have a chill middle Eastern guy with lots of money he will make shit 1050ti Gaming PCs and put them in computer cafes for little shits to play Crossfire on

[steel umbra]

anyways, just unplug it and be done with it i would suggest, the case appears to be cheap and it has probably no addresable pwr led

[potent basin]

Ah, so the only thing making this impossible is molex fans?

I remember finding a way to turn off the leds completely by removing one part of the molex, I'll Just use that method I guess

Hopefully cpu fan RGB should be adjustable Cause my motherboard has an argb 3 pin for that, which should allow to change it via software, right?

[latent pasture]

well that depends on ur cpu fan then

[steel umbra]

with limited control yes

[potent basin]

Coolermaster hyper 212 v3

[latent pasture]

ye its argb

[potent basin]

Aye if I can turn it red or green that works

[steel umbra]

that’s argb so no compatibility with rgb unless you use an adapter (w limitations)

diff voltages, pinout, holes

[latent pasture]

they did say their mobo has argb

[steel umbra]

oh

that will work then

[steel umbra]

me angrier

[gloomy sleet]

why dont we make mice out of depleted uranium

[steel umbra]

depleted uranium sounds poor for marketing

[pseudo swallow]

Tech tip if you're like me, and have a Mac and a Android. (I really want that Rog pc giveaway lol)

If you're phone has expandable storage, use a micro SD card. Transfer the files, remove it, then put in a external SD card reader and boom.

[pseudo swallow]

I love the sound of that

[gloomy sleet]

its denser

makes the heaviest mouse possible

other then osmium which idk if we even have enough of to make a mouse out of

its DU or tungsten

[hidden hill]

new oled monitor is nice but dang everything looks so washed out.. hdr on it looks wrong though

might have to just run nvidia filters for more vibrancy in games

[tidal geyser]

windows HDR is trash

[hidden hill]

ye

whats the alternative though lol

[tidal geyser]

well nvidias own

[hidden hill]

have to have the normal windows hdr on

[light oriole]

ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 can it run age of empires 2

[hidden hill]

ill try it

[steel umbra]

enriched uranium sounds cooler

[abstract wigeon]

how do i know what a good ethernet to mains plug is

[tidal geyser]

you mean powerline?

[abstract wigeon]

yeah that

what should i be looking for

[tidal geyser]

you will probs not find one

[tidal geyser]

just do ethernet cable from the main network to pc

[hidden hill]

rtx hdr never works mannn. always says to restart to see the effect

but it legit never works

[tidal geyser]

welp no HDR for you

[hidden hill]

is that a common thing?

[abstract wigeon]

main network far away downstairs, but wifi is very very weak

[tidal geyser]

mesh

[tidal geyser]

mine is also fucked

[hidden hill]

yeah it was like this on my other pc too

[abstract wigeon]

yeah i suggested it but hes looking for something fairly cheap

[hidden hill]

i think it literally just doesnt function for a ton of people

[gloomy sleet]

it doesnt

[pseudo swallow]

Uranium anything gets a notice by me

[gloomy sleet]

enriched uranium is radioactive

depleted uranium is far less so

we use depleted uranium for loads of things

[pseudo swallow]

I believe you can buy it.

[steel umbra]

does not make it safe lol

[gloomy sleet]

depleted uranium tank rounds arent that safe fair

[pseudo swallow]

Eh. Who cares about safety. For legal reasons I'm joking

[gloomy sleet]

tank crews handle DU rounds on a regular basis with 0 reported issues

[steel umbra]

nah no need to joke about safety, radioactive stuff is yummy

[gloomy sleet]

its just extremely dense

[pseudo swallow]

It would be kind hard. It's usually a rock.

[gloomy sleet]

its suprisingly not that dangerous

you can literally order it online

[tough dagger]

whats a good speaker combo with a really good sub

[pseudo swallow]

Random thought. If you had a cubic meter of tungsten it would be 40,000 lbs

[steel umbra]

(does not make it safe to handle in hands)

[gloomy sleet]

fair

just wear gloves

[pseudo swallow]

I thought so

[gloomy sleet]

i know people who wear gloves when gaming anyway

[pseudo swallow]

Now I got radioactive stuck in my head

[gloomy sleet]

tungsten mouse

[steel umbra]

turn it into powder and mix with tea

[gloomy sleet]

use tungsten weights in your keyboard

[steel umbra]

it gives you only poison VII and wither VI effects

[pseudo swallow]

That would be crazy. My guess is a solid 15lbs

[pseudo swallow]

Oh. Yeah

[pseudo swallow]

If Linus can do a lead pc we can do a uranium PC

[steel umbra]

you made the number seem bigger by turning it into lbs instead of kg

[pseudo swallow]

Let me double check lol

[steel umbra]

should’ve listed it in nanograms

[gloomy sleet]

lmao

[steel umbra]

for the best marketing yields

[pseudo swallow]

Its 20,000 kg

Roughly

It would only cost a million dollars. USD

[pseudo swallow]

As MatPat said: I'm a Imperial scum so that means nothing to me"

And I'm teaching myself metric

[pseudo swallow]

Had to finish the quote

[tidal geyser]

o wow this does not look half bad

[distant frigate]

I DID IT

I’m now on T-Mobile. Free network trial

Speeds!

[gleaming rose]

ok

[odd marsh]

AMD stock cooler :( (looks good though)

[tidal geyser]

wa

you do know that cooler can do like 100-150w EZ PZ

and its a blow down cooler or what ever its called

also i think its the one i got for 5$

[elder quarry]

@tidal geyser god I love reverse proxies

[brave brook]

$20 for thermalright cooler is too much /s

but i do understand it is recycled parts

[tidal geyser]

uhm its like 600NOK that cooler i got for like 100

for dollars take away a zero

[elder quarry]

yeah also it has rgb

[brave brook]

AM4 system CPU and board, Fractal Define C case (or variant of it), RAM, PSU and maybe even storage ?

[tidal geyser]

yup major factor even software controlled RGB

[brave brook]

for 55 euros ?

[pseudo swallow]

Which card is it?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[odd marsh]

I don’t like it cause my brother has one and it’s so loud

[tidal geyser]

RTX 2070

[odd marsh]

I’ve messed with the curve a bit and it’s just loud af

[pseudo swallow]

How much? It'll probably work

[tidal geyser]

its not you just first of all have it in normal mode and then make sure its lower RPM in the bios
