Chat

[thorn viper]

bro, idk, i didnt kknow shit about PCs then, it was a prebuilt made by a colleague of a family member

[elder quarry]

bruj

[elder quarry]

are you gonna fail to nstall the cooler and clean it off

[lethal moth]

Probably

[quick stag]

I got carried away while I was going to the supermarket (mediamarkt was right next to the supermarket)

[gloomy sleet]

that is a big ass monitor stand

that looks like shit to use

[raw trout]

Big monitor stabd

[raw trout]

It's so big it's worth it to spend money on a heavy duty monitor stand

[gloomy sleet]

why do they make the stands like that to perfectly get in the way of your shit

[raw trout]

Vesa table mount ofc

[raw trout]

It's curved so i. Guess they did it for that

Or they could have done it like a tv

Two small stands support each side

[gloomy sleet]

just have a normal ass stand

[gloomy sleet]

i’d prefer this

you can actually put stuff under it

[raw trout]

Fair

But what if the stands were like jack stands but less shady

I mean. Janky

[lethal moth]

When installing heatsink fan, you install it towards ram, correct?

[raw trout]

Air should flow to the back of the case

Ram will be cooled by front fans and the intake breeze from the heatsink fans

[raw trout]

But it's a matter of opinion or case design

[granite sundial]

if i RMA a 40 series card theres a 0% chance i can get a replacement right

[golden sage]

Guys im quite confused, i have 2 gen3 NVMEs, where do i plug them on this mobo? (x870 tomahawk wifi7)

[granite sundial]

first 2 slots

pcie is backwards compatible

[young crest]

Realistically any slot, PCIe is backwards compatible.

[granite sundial]

it will run to the speed of the slowest link in the chain (so pcie 3.0)

[lethal moth]

Well that'll be why it wasn't cooling well

[golden sage]

This is gonna be a minus aura question, my gpu covers my 2nd and 3rd slot so that i cant see its RGB (yes the nvme has rgb…)

Can i put on first and 4th slot instead?

[granite sundial]

-2

but yes it will work

[golden sage]

whats -2

[granite sundial]

-2 aura

[golden sage]

Oh, for a second i thought u meant it will use lesser lanes

[elder quarry]

"minus aura question"

why the fuk do you have RGB SSD

especially M.2

[golden sage]

i got it in 2021

[granite sundial]

the adata xpg spectrix is pretty cheap

one of the cheapest m.2s in price per gb

[golden sage]

s40g adata 512gb for os and 1tb for storage

[lethal moth]

Why do those even exist

[granite sundial]

gaming

honestly the worst is when ppl get a full rgb system and then set it to unicorn vomit mode

[lethal moth]

RGB boosts performance

[granite sundial]

i like the soft underglow stuff the most

[lethal moth]

I have RGB and set all of them to just... Off

[granite sundial]

the diffused lighting looks the best imo

[lethal moth]

Look at this crusty ass thermal paste

[elder quarry]

thermally conductive sand

[golden sage]

Uh oh… i think i just lost more aura

[elder quarry]

stop it

[grizzled frost]

contact pressure final boss

[lethal moth]

It's safe to keep pc plugged in aslong power supply is turned off right?

[grizzled frost]

yes

[elder quarry]

whata

[lethal moth]

Only way to grond myself lmao

[lethal moth]

Plugged in but PSU in off position

[grizzled frost]

“grounding” is such snake oil in pc building though

[elder quarry]

oh so you're building

[elder quarry]

ye

[grizzled frost]

you’d have to actively try to kill stuff with static and even then you’d struggle to damage anything

[lethal moth]

Just upgrading cooler (100 in cs2)

[lethal moth]

True

Although I'm sitting down while doing this

[granite sundial]

yeah i touch all over my pc while sitting on carpet its fine lol

[grizzled frost]

if grounding your machine and yourself makes you feel better though, you do you

[granite sundial]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXkgbmr3dRA

[grizzled frost]

i build so many machines on my bed it’s crazy

[lethal moth]

I was scared to repaste once

[elder quarry]

wat

[grizzled frost]

my truenas machine was built on my bed

[elder quarry]

same

[lethal moth]

My glass is sitting on my bed rn

[elder quarry]

or eh 50% of it

[lethal moth]

Alr time to whip out the kitchen towel and isopropyl alcohol

[grizzled frost]

i have a desk now in my room, but at the time i didn’t, so my bed was the best option for building stuff for my rack

[elder quarry]

iroh what do you have on it

[grizzled frost]

plex server with some media, and a backup of my desktop machine

[elder quarry]

I only have this and some minecraft servers, it's sad

[grizzled frost]

at about 2.3 TiB of 7.3TiB available

[elder quarry]

and smb of

and nextcloud

[lethal moth]

Im scared to clean my CPU with my 3 ply kitchen roll lmao if fivlbres fall off it's gonna be so annoying to fix

[grizzled frost]

Yeah i got smb as well obv

i’ll probably get another machine soon to host truenas and leave it at my grandparents house so i have an offsite backup

[elder quarry]

Nginx Proxy Manager and AdGuard w/ rewrites is so powerful

[grizzled frost]

true data security soon™️

[abstract wigeon]

with an oled screen will displaying a full black image for hours damage it at all like with burn in or anything? is it any different to just powering down the monitor

[elder quarry]

yeah I have a secured pc for that

[kindred robin]

aye i got new headphones a while back, was wondering why with them i gotta crank the left side up by ~9-10% for it to match the right
and ill admit, they are high-ohmage headphones i still havent gotten an amp for. but i feel the output should be equal across both channels still

[honest bobcat]

Hi, would anyone be willing to assist me in setting up dedicated servers on my pcs

[elder quarry]

https://dontasktoask.com

[grizzled frost]

#1027757333117415424

[honest bobcat]

thank you

[grizzled frost]

without properly driving them that sounds about right

[harsh whale]

This is why you dont trust AI.

[kindred robin]

oh is this common without an amp? figured itd be equally spread regardless

[grizzled frost]

also it would be “high impedance” since ohms is a measure of electrical impedance

[grizzled frost]

not common, but not unheard of

[elder quarry]

what's wrong

[harsh whale]

"i3"

[kindred robin]

i work with electronics a bit, so i just like saying ohms more

[elder quarry]

true

but i3 is similar

let chatgpt be wrong sometime

[harsh whale]

Its not even wrong, the website is

[elder quarry]

no shit

chatgpt is trained off of something

[lethal moth]

God damn it there's thermal paste stuck there

[elder quarry]

It’s fine

Or where

Where’s there

[kindred halo]

@elder quarry @rigid fjord

I have an idea on how to upgrade to AM5 on the same budget (almost), but I'll need your help on making sure I am making the right decision

[lethal moth]

Thermal paste

On the edges off the cpu

[jovial bone]

I just ordered parts for my new homelab server im so exited :DD I went with this:
CPU: Intel Core i5-14600K
MOBO: ASUS TUF GAMING B760-PLUS WIFI D4
RAM: 96GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16
PSU: Corsair RM650e (2025) ATX 3.1
FLASH STORAGE: 500GB NVME boot drive, 2x1TB NVME for VMs and containers in proxmox
STORAGE: 4x4TB Toshiba N300

[elder quarry]

Hurry

[jovial bone]

think it will serve me for many years to come

[kindred halo]

You should probably put this all in a PcPaPi list

[elder quarry]

Nice. What will you use the VMS for

[kindred halo]

Switching from 13400F / H610M / RX 6700 XT to an 8600G / B650M / 760M (IGPU)

[elder quarry]

Why?

[kindred halo]

It's almost the same as my 1050 Ti, but with like triple the VRAM lol

[kindred halo]

Modern platform

[clear spruce]

hey @elder quarry

[elder quarry]

6700xt will perform better

[jovial bone]

game servers (2x minecraft servers, 1 mod 1 normal), nextcloud, immich, truenas, plex( ), homeassistant, security cameras and a bunch of docker stuff

[rigid fjord]

Ram config is wrong

[kindred halo]

And I can buy a GPU later on

[elder quarry]

Ello

[kindred halo]

I know, but the games I play can handle being played with an iGPU

[clear spruce]

mind helpin me get spotify?, you might find this funny but im asking for a reason

[elder quarry]

Docker containers for that instead no need for 4 vms

[lethal moth]

Is this metal piece considered the backplate?

[clear spruce]

i have a nokia N97 mini And i cant seem to find spotify, idk if there even is.

[elder quarry]

What

[jovial bone]

yes but i already have 2x16gb so i just ordered 2x32gb with the exact same speeds

[random gyro]

give it up bro 💔

[elder quarry]

Is it a “smaet”phone

[left dove]

there is no spotify for symbian lmao

[clear spruce]

Oh

[random gyro]

n97 mini is one year older than i am

younger*

[clear spruce]

yet, it has better output sound than newer phones

[left dove]

You're not putting modern anything on this pos

[kindred halo]

Extra VRAM could probably help in making up for the difference (I know it's not a main issue but there's a 13% difference between the two and the 760M gets 4x the VRAM so they'd be fairly close)

+I think going AM5 is just a better decision overall

[random gyro]

it literally doesnt but okjay

[left dove]

yeah, no.

[kindred halo]

Although.. How loser tier is the MSI PRO B650M-E

[clear spruce]

its way better than my laptop & my phone.

[random gyro]

is ur laptop and phone shit too

[kindred halo]

Also hii Peyton

[clear spruce]

its way newer

[left dove]

I guarantee that it isn't.

[clear spruce]

it is tho, atleast better than my phone lmao

[upper wave]

Affinity's design suite is pretty amazing compared to Adobe on mac

[clear spruce]

funnily enough my phone doesnt even hgave its own eq

have*

[random gyro]

throw the n97 away bro its begging u

[clear spruce]

no

[left dove]

lmao this is like saying a moldy vhs tape has better visual fidelity than a properly mastered blu-ray

[fiery plover]

Hey guys I got a question. Why are monitors marketed in inches but when they provide the dimensions it's not true to the size? Example a 24" monitor is marketed as 24" but the dimensions on the specification is only 540mm when converted it's only 21inches?

[left dove]

due to something called class sizing

[elder quarry]

Corners

[left dove]

32" can be 31.5"

yeah you wanna measure from diagonal corner to corner

never on a flat edge

[fiery plover]

Ohh so it's 24 inches diagonally

[left dove]

yes

[fiery plover]

Gotcha. That's why I'm confused

[elder quarry]

Bruh

[left dove]

yeah you always get proper screen size by measuring diagonally

[fiery plover]

Hey 1st time buying a monitor

[fiery plover]

I learned something

[rigid fjord]

means you'll have the imc run in flex/hybrid mode

[random gyro]

guys i need new spotify theme 💔

i have to write code to grant all of these 😭

[fiery plover]

So I guess downgrading to 24 inch isn't that much

[elder quarry]

Help codeblock oj mobile suck

[rigid fjord]

because you measure along the diagonal of a screen from one corner to the other

[elder quarry]

Thx

What language

[gleaming rose]

that's xml because it's the android manifest, most of the code is in kotlin

[left dove]

I hate auto line wrapping for short lines

[elder quarry]

Yeah that was my guess

[upper wave]

I want to try and code an OS at somepoint, but that will be when I find enough time

[left dove]

😂

have fun writing a kernel, memory handler, hardware abstraction..

[elder quarry]

Thi this dude did it, he can play Minecraft and stuff

https://github.com/NSG650/Polaris

[upper wave]

I might use Linux as a base though

[elder quarry]

In what way

[left dove]

Start with a 6502 before you like, try to write low-level code for a modern processor

[upper wave]

for a kernal, memory handler, and hardware absrtaction

[left dove]

you literally are just copying what I say

[upper wave]

but I would use Linux from Scratch

[elder quarry]

And just modify from that point

[elder quarry]

Yeah lol

[elder quarry]

linux

[left dove]

😂

[elder quarry]

Do you even use Linux

[upper wave]

I used to, for a few weeks

[left dove]

Bro

[elder quarry]

For a few weeks?

[left dove]

I'm trying to drink my coffee, stop making me giggle

[elder quarry]

Do you know any coreutils

[upper wave]

I had to go back to mac and windows for some software which I needed

[elder quarry]

I’m drinking tea

Same here

[elder quarry]

And you’re trying to make “your own” operating system

I haven’t gone further than arch cause I embrace convenience

[left dove]

Play with this and learn. You're thinking about 300 steps ahead.
https://reactos.org/

[kindred halo]

PcPaPi isn't letting me use custom parts lmaoo

[elder quarry]

What?

[left dove]

pcpp

[elder quarry]

Ah

[kindred halo]

PC Part Picker

[left dove]

just use pcpp

[kindred halo]

Okay

[left dove]

we all know that one lmao

[kindred halo]

Yeah fair enough

[left dove]

also, hello!

[kindred halo]

Hii :3

[left dove]

I forgor to respond to your ping

[kindred halo]

It okay

[kindred halo]

Eitherway yeah it's not giving me the option to

[kindred halo]

How're ya?

[elder quarry]

No it’s not, electric chair or firing squad?

[kindred halo]

Firing chair

[left dove]

Wakin' up, waiting for at least some pharmacy to open sometime today because I gotta get injection supplies & a sharps bin

[elder quarry]

What time is it?

[kindred halo]

Sounds pretty early,,, and boring,,,,

[left dove]

8 AM on a federal holiday weekend

[eager umbra]

Does anyone know any tricks to see if any pc parts are busted,i played games over 24 hours wanted to reboot it to get a fresh slate foe the day now it wont post?

[sudden carbon]

Hi all I need help configuring my Lian Li Lancool 205 (non mesh) case fans, I currently have an exhaust on the back and above the Peerless assassin cooler, 3 intake on the front and an intake next to the Exhaust above the cpu cooler, Is this okay? my 5800X3D is idling around 40-45c

[elder quarry]

Ahh #1027757333117415424 I can’t read

[left dove]

It is tbh

[elder quarry]

Intake on top?

[sudden carbon]

yeah next to the CPU cooler top exhaust

[elder quarry]

You said intake

[kindred halo]

Fair enough
You should probably tune the Spo-15 I mailed you to pass the time

[sudden carbon]

I have an intake and exhaust next to eachother at the top of the case

[elder quarry]

How old are you

Don’t answer

[sudden carbon]

I came asking for help and advice, not to be judged

[elder quarry]

Anyways air in and out

Also hot air rises

[odd marsh]

5800X3D will just run hot

[sudden carbon]

Yeah thought so

[elder quarry]

The intake will suck in the hot air from the exhaust

And dust

Exhaust on top and rear and intake on front

[sudden carbon]

okay, ty

so 3 intake, 3 exhaust

[elder quarry]

Doesn’t matter

Just not like that

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1298397840980312085/airflow.gif

[elder quarry]

Like this, miss you aldo

[sudden carbon]

well I have 6 fans currently, should I just drop it to 5 and have 2 exhaust top and back, and 3 front intake?

[elder quarry]

Pic of case

[sudden carbon]

its the Lian Li Lancool 205 non mesh

[left dove]

Meow

[elder quarry]

Exhaust rear, two top, the rest on front

[elder quarry]

Meow

[sudden carbon]

so 5 intake (2 top, 3 front) 1 exhaust back?

[elder quarry]

What

What did I just tell you

[sudden carbon]

Going off of what you said

[elder quarry]

What does hot air do

[left dove]

front is intake. top and back is exhaust.

[sudden carbon]

the answer I wanted from the start, none of the talking to me like im a child

Ty Peyton

[elder quarry]

[sudden carbon]

I've only built a whopping 2 PCs, I have no clue when it comes to configuring hence why I turn to get help from a TECH chat

[left dove]

It was worded a little poorly but the dude never treated you like a child.

Fuck, all I did was say what E said but with better wording

[gleaming rose]

linuxfromscratch sucks honestly, gentoo teaches mostly the same things

https://github.com/comfies/tldrlfs

i prefer this

[plain cypress]

30hrs
wish me luck

[plush wren]

good luck

[elder quarry]

I previously explained that hot air rises but very poorly xd

[gleaming rose]

also @upper wave if you havent used linux for more than like 50-100 hours i think you're fucked

[left dove]

^

[elder quarry]

Yes this, even with hundreds of tutorials

[gleaming rose]

you need a LOT of experience with linux to know how it works and LFS doesn't baby you

[tidal geyser]

what material and why not piece by piece

[fiery plover]

Is it still worth it to buy a monitor when you don't really need the 100+ refresh rate. Cause I'm looking at a 60Hz monitor and there a TV same price a lil bit bigger

[left dove]

seriously, if you can't even manage running an instance in WSL & using cmd you're not going to make an operating system

[thorn viper]

what would be the best 1080p card? I am thinking of getting a 6900XT altough i know its overkill, its less expensive used than a 5060TI 16gb, or even a regular 4060

[plain cypress]

PLA Matte and I will be sleeping then out of the house tomorrow

[elder quarry]

cmd?

[left dove]

terminal.

[elder quarry]

Windows batch?

[left dove]

command line

[plain cypress]

its only 270g and i will be checking periodically

[elder quarry]

K

[gleaming rose]

say terminal for linux, cmd is associated with windows

[plain cypress]

if it fails I will redo piece by piece

[plush wren]

CLI

[gleaming rose]

or ^

[left dove]

cmd =/= batch

.bat = batch

[tidal geyser]

a ok makes sense, i always just do piece by piece just in case

[gleaming rose]

yes but cmd is windows-specific

[elder quarry]

.exe

[plush wren]

.com

[gleaming rose]

you can also use shell for linux

[elder quarry]

True

[plush wren]

idk why .com is a mz file

[thorn viper]

Also, the fact that i have a 5700G, but i wouldnt mind being CPU bottlenecked

[plush wren]

same with .msi

[left dove]

component file, innit

[plush wren]

chrome.com

[left dove]

nicer installer package for win8.1+

[plain cypress]

so far I have had only one piece on this project fail (it failed repeatedly until I printed with raft, no idea why)
i am fairly confident but if i see any oopsy woopsy in the first 4 hours I'll kill it

[elder quarry]

Also everyone should be decent at regex

[plush wren]

well yes but you can rename any .exe to .msi and run it through cmd and it will work just fine

[elder quarry]

It’s so convenient

[tidal geyser]

GOD DAM do i just love bambu printers having cameras

[plain cypress]

yeah but man the p1s camera is so shit

[tidal geyser]

well no shit its not a 4k$ printer

[plain cypress]

although a significant amount of my quality complaints seem to be low light pushing the ISO high

[tidal geyser]

you aint going to do 4k60

[plain cypress]

no but how much more is a 1080p sensor over 720p lol

[tidal geyser]

fyi the main issue aint even the cam its just the esp32 speed

[elder quarry]

I have octoprint

[tidal geyser]

that was not the issue

[plain cypress]

fine its the shitty soc

[tidal geyser]

main issue is just the esp32 is not meant to even do 720p well

[plain cypress]

but also the ISO seems to be fucked as well so if I install a new light I am hoping the image quality clears up a bit

[tidal geyser]

meh with the built in light its fine for me

[plain cypress]

bro its grainy

[fiery plover]

Can I get an opinion on this one? Should I go Monitor or TV

[tidal geyser]

all i need to see is if the pixels are in the right place or not

[plain cypress]

on the video feed it looks like the build plate is covered in string and i check it and its perfectly clean irl

[odd marsh]

I personally wouldn't use a TV unless it is a higher end model

[tidal geyser]

pic

mine looks fine

[fiery plover]

So a smaller 60hz monitor is better then? Ok

[plush wren]

Hello

https://tenor.com/view/cat-chat-cat-fall-hello-chat-cat-gif-24961178

[kindred halo]

Put up a build a pc post for the first time in 2 months

[ebon marlin]

baby

[lethal moth]

I hate life my CPU cooler didn't come with the LGA1200 mounting screws

[elder quarry]

@plain cypress 2 days

total ratio 3 or something [):]but

[signal salmon]

Hey, I'm looking for a new monitor, should i get a 4K monitor or a 1440p OLED?

[elder quarry]

1440

[signal salmon]

so the oled?

[ebon marlin]

no point in getting 4k unless you want to upgrade ur 90 series cards every new gen

[left dove]

Pain.

[gleaming rose]

food :3

[left dove]

aww, cute

I'd totally take a plate

(Can I get a fuckload of pepper on my eggs though pls)

[elder quarry]

lol

wow

[tender badger]

Is b580 good enough to pair with 7800x3d

[rigid fjord]

something looks a little wrong and bland there

[rigid fjord]

spanish omelette huh ?

[boreal vine]

cougar lowkey cooked with this one

[left dove]

black pepper

[rigid fjord]

have you tried a spanish omelette though ?

[left dove]

probably when I was in mexico at some point

[clear spruce]

Well peyton, i managed to find a spotify

[left dove]

It's amazing how much I do not care

[warm saddle]

Is 100gb space of 1tb on system disk enough?

[clear spruce]

but when i try to download it with nokia PC suite it says expired certificate

[clear spruce]

no clue wehat it even means though

[left dove]

ILL TAKE FOUR

[clear spruce]

Rauko

can you explain what expired certificate means?

[rigid fjord]

easy, it's a certificate that ended before a date an time

[clear spruce]

how can i get it to work ?

[rigid fjord]

get the cert updated or a new one

[clear spruce]

unsure how to get it updated.

[rigid fjord]

google.com

[clear spruce]

trying to install spotify on my nokia n97 mini btw, thats why im seeking help 😂

[rigid fjord]

so a modern software on ancient hardware phone wise

yeah, not happening

[clear spruce]

?

no?

im trying to download spotify 3.22.6 on it.

[rigid fjord]

yes, it's ancient in phone/electronics terms

[clear spruce]

i mean yeah, but it still works

& it somehow outputs better audio than my new phone

soo, is there a way?

oh well.

[rigid fjord]

reminds me of the duoface ones they made

hmm, do i curry, bolognaise or cheat and just do a bunch of chicken dippers

[dense pond]

Better speakers in it than in your new phone, nothing unreplaceable

[random gyro]

Nuh uh!

[left dove]

no it doesnt ffs

[clear spruce]

not speakers

the 3.5mm jack output

[random gyro]

It’s the same as other 3.5mm lmao I can guarantee it

[empty quartz]

Still no

[dense pond]

Thats just connector, it doesnt do anything different than any other phone /w that connector

It connects headphones to the phone's internals, then there is what makes the difference, not the actuall connector

[left dove]

^

[tidal geyser]

connector does not do jack shit the inbuilt DAC does

[empty quartz]

Nuh uh

[left dove]

shut up, ace

[empty quartz]

Never

[dense pond]

You dont know nothing abt electricity, do you?

[tidal geyser]

tbf the connector can do something

[random gyro]

Ace is top 5 favorite server member

[true stirrup]

1. There is a troll emoji
2. It's Ace
   Ofc it was a joke

[tidal geyser]

like if its rusted to hell then you would get no audio or REALLY bad audio due to high resistance

[dense pond]

So, Ace= ignore anything from that person

[clear spruce]

I DID IT, i downloaded spotify FINALLYYYYYYYY

[true stirrup]

No
If they are serious they know what they are talking about

[empty quartz]

I most likely know more than you when it comes to electricty and audio. I am just fucking around

[dense pond]

Yea, but usually minimal difference, due to some physical dimension tolerances, how it was made, etc

[frigid blade]

GTA6 is gonna be sick

[dense pond]

Maybe you know more abt audio, but not about electricity, as i work with it every day (electrician, mostly PCB work)

[empty quartz]

Im gonna be turning 97 by the time it actually releases

[tidal geyser]

so you are 96

[random gyro]

Getting a ps5 in 2 weeks for gta 6

[empty quartz]

No

[tidal geyser]

na you are 95

I would, but I don’t think it’s gonna run gta 6 max settings stable 60

I can’t do 60 fps anymore, when I go back it looks so bad

@dense pond

[frigid blade]

Let alone the game costing like $100

[dense pond]

So you basically know the same as i do

[frigid blade]

But did you read it is the question

[dense pond]

(from books that i dont need )

[gleaming rose]

connector quality can vary

[frigid blade]

Nah didn’t read it, he’s faking it

[gleaming rose]

when it comes to audio pretty much everything makes a difference

[dense pond]

Yep

[empty quartz]

Maybe a bit more about the power grid since i live with an electrical engineer who works for the province’s power company

[empty quartz]

I did

[dense pond]

I did the damn school abt this kind of stuff, so i bet we know both the same, only difference is you are maybe from USA, and iam from Czech;-;

[empty quartz]

Canada*

[dense pond]

Close enough 👀 not the same as Canada is better than USA honestly 🤣

[gleaming rose]

I've designed electronics in the past

[empty quartz]

Canada is nothing like the shithole called usa 🗣️

[dense pond]

But it has border with it, we got whole ocean 🤣

[empty quartz]

I got work in 2 hours or so

[gleaming rose]

no formal training but I think I have a decent amount of expertise

[empty quartz]

Back when i was in preschool, i managed to take apart a power wheels car and put it back together almost perfectly (albeit loose screws since i was a toddler)

[gleaming rose]

that's not much of an accomplishment honestly but congrats

[empty quartz]

Considering my age at the time, it was an accomplishment

Nowadays i work on making dumb shit with my li-ion batts

And working on apple devices

Sodium???!!!

[lapis talon]

wont this bend cause a problem

[tidal geyser]

no

[empty quartz]

Fun fact; throwing sodium in your toilet is totally safe, and highly recommended by scientists

[elder quarry]

Thx

Where can Oi buy this?

[bronze summit]

It's not a hose

[empty quartz]

Amazon (for some reason)

[elder quarry]

Wait really?

[empty quartz]

@dense pond sorry btw, i just woke up and was in the mood for a minuscule amount of tomfoolery

[empty quartz]

Yeah 💀

[bronze summit]

You have to throw a huge chunk of it but yes it will do the funny explosion

[elder quarry]

Wow I gotta buy

I can give my friends koolaid

[empty quartz]

Personally i prefer lithium

Makes an even funnier reaction

[true stirrup]

Pooring bleach into the toilet after peeing is also a smart way to clean the toilet
(Disclaimer due to Poe's law: Please no one do this)

[bronze summit]

Personally I just left or to throw grenades onto Construction Port a Potties

[elder quarry]

I usually tape the handle to the door so it goes off when opened

An even funnier thing is potassium

[true stirrup]

I'm listening

[empty quartz]

Get 3 oz total of 3 ingredients

1oz potassium
1oz sodium
1oz lithium

Melt them together in a crucible

Find the nearest pond, and throw the concoction into it

[true stirrup]

Good way to clean the pond 💯

[empty quartz]

I wonder if its ever been done

[elder quarry]

How about 33 Oz instead

[empty quartz]

Too much

[true stirrup]

Probably has in some artificial environment for testing

For fun

[lapis talon]

but its worse, its 12VHPWR

[abstract wigeon]

do people actually buy these crazy looking aios or the ones with massive screens?

i mean there had to be a demand because everyone is making them now but ive never seen anyone with one in their build

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[grizzled frost]

people do indeed buy them

a lot of the shit at computex never gets sold though

it’s like a runway fashion show but for tech

are amd chips designed to boost to TJmax?

[empty quartz]

I wonder how the first person discovered sodium doesn’t mix well with water… did they just like throw a big ass chunk of it into a body of water or smt

[true stirrup]

Yeah they boost to between 80-90°C

[frigid blade]

Why are your CPUs boosting to a store

Does TJ max even exist anymore

[plush wren]

experiments bro experiments

[empty quartz]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

no

well modern ryzen no

[golden sage]

ohh, thanks for this information, still tryna find my way as someone who swapped from an intel system

[empty quartz]

I shall commit a “science”

[frigid blade]

My RAM runs at 60C lol

[true stirrup]

70-80°C for modern right?

Also, is this ram-speed fine? its from my intel kit, i heard something about amd only needing 6000, should i set it to that or leave it at 7200? (amd 9800x3d btw)

[hidden hill]

in the asus armory crate app what exactly are these device updates?

[empty quartz]

Bro’s piss is gonna melt the fucking toilet

[hidden hill]

is it driver updates managed by asus?

[true stirrup]

Ah 95°C okay

[tidal geyser]

if that is amd cpu on that then you are doing 1:2 probs way worse then 6000MT 1:1

[wet scroll]

Should i get a used rtx 3070 ti or a brand new 4060? Both are around the same price here and the 5060 isnt an option bcs it costs over 600usd here for some reason

[frigid blade]

Huh?

[golden sage]

bear with me for a bit, whats 1:2 and 1:1?

[tidal geyser]

the 3070 ti beats a 5060 does it not

[true stirrup]

3070ti is much faster

[empty quartz]

Vodka and redbull

[tidal geyser]

7200 is slower

[frigid blade]

Anyway, my RAM is running 60C when I stress it

I need more airflow

[true stirrup]

That's a bit high

[tidal geyser]

15%

[golden sage]

Also, why are boot times so long on this AMD board? it takes awhile to post

[frigid blade]

I know, I can’t increase frequency or tREFI because of it

[wet scroll]

I see, id assume fast enough for not having dlss as good as 4060?

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[elder quarry]

Really?

[golden sage]

im just very used to it posting really quick on intel

[tidal geyser]

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

[hidden hill]

anyone else use an asus motherboard?

[frigid blade]

Nice lunch of 1 night old steak

[elder quarry]

Yuss

[tidal geyser]

the rtx 5090 uses the same dlss as the rtx 2060 does

[golden sage]

im assuming you're telling me to drop the speed to 6000 yeah?

[empty quartz]

Shit is gonna be more acidic then Fluoroantimonic acid

[wet scroll]

Doesnt 4060 have dlss 3 while 3070 has dlss 2?

[tidal geyser]

and make sure its set 1:1

[tidal geyser]

no???????

[frigid blade]

G1 G1

[tidal geyser]

the rtx 2060 has dlss 4

[wet scroll]

OHHHHH

Quit it with the misinformation, im the one who spreads misinformation, not you

I see, last thing would the 3070ti run fine on a group regulated psu? Its a 650 watt one

[empty quartz]

you need help

i dono what GR psu

[wet scroll]

Yeah i was asking if itd make up for the frame generation

is armory crate your driver updater then? wondering what the updates i did in there were for

that is not group regulated

It's overall just a better card

[hidden hill]

https://tenor.com/view/ai-yakuza-ps2-gif-10625973267594549374

but it is c tier so yes the 3070 ti would be fine

[frigid blade]

Can 4090 run b tier?

Get some more fans and oc your ram higher 💯
I am doing 6800MT/s cl38 on my ram which has a 6000MT/s cl36 XMP profile
Not 4 sticks like you have tho

well yea

“can my 450w card run on a 1600w psu”

[wet scroll]

I see, id also get somethimg aesthetically pleasing unlike those dual fan ones with no lights on the 4060 😭

[grizzled frost]

prolly has a 1000w +12v rail

[hidden hill]

for the cpu what temp is considered to high

[grizzled frost]

thermal throttle

[frigid blade]

The max, 100C usually

[grizzled frost]

95c on am5 usually

[hidden hill]

so 100 and higher?

[grizzled frost]

100c on intel

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1151983877699670066/1371602754430177301/attachment.gif

[frigid blade]

95 and higher

[empty quartz]

My 1200w can do all 1200w on a single +12v rail

[winter lantern]

I only have a 1300 watt plat seasonic psu 😔

[hidden hill]

could i just think to myself anything over 90 is a bit too high?

[grizzled frost]

so they suck at advertising

[empty quartz]

Huh

[wet scroll]

That can barely run a gtc 1050ti get a better one

[grizzled frost]

wattage rating is supposed to be all rails together

[empty quartz]

It is

[gentle kestrel]

yeah that’s how mine is too, 1197 max or something on the 12v rail

[grizzled frost]

if it can do 1200w on the 12v rail then it should be rated higher then 1200

[winter lantern]

Fr its struggling to run my 1650

[empty quartz]

Its a corsair hx1200

[wet scroll]

Spending on the psu more than the whole pc 😭😭

[frigid blade]

I’ll be getting the EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G+

Nice and cheap used

[empty quartz]

But why

[gentle kestrel]

what do you need a 1600w for

[frigid blade]

Lots of drives

[gentle kestrel]

my 1200w is already sitting at comedically large tier

[wet scroll]

What is the cheapest cpu i can get that wont bottleneck a 3070ti

[hidden hill]

i need to make the mention highlight brighter, can barely notice it

[frigid blade]

13900kf + 4090 + 20 hdds and their HBA

[winter lantern]

My gpu is 1.2% of the budget is spent

[wet scroll]

Im never getting a used psu again last time it fried my card

[frigid blade]

Idk what you bought then

[wet scroll]

The gpu im getting would be 150% of what i spent on the rest of the pc LMAOOO

[empty quartz]

Im one of the few people who actually need more than 850w

[fickle ivy]

if I ran at full speed into something the energy released from that would be enough to power a high end PC for 5 seconds

[wet scroll]

How mucu did the cooling cost you 😭

[frigid blade]

I also want an upgrade path for my CPU and GPU, that’s why I went with 1600

[empty quartz]

My dignity

[frigid blade]

The nova lake 52 core CPU is gonna be hungry

[gentle kestrel]

i was looking at like 750-850w platinums but the leadex was on sale so now i just have more capacity then i’ll ever need

[wet scroll]

I need a new cpu aftwr i get a gpu fs

[wet scroll]

:3

[gentle kestrel]

think max ill draw gaming is 300w or so right now

[winter lantern]

One fan costs more than my gpu

[fickle ivy]

For me it'd probably be 75%

Dude I need a new phone my 12 mini dies so fast

[empty quartz]

Didnt mean to ping you, but we ball

[empty quartz]

Just get a new battery

[winter lantern]

Its a samsung s24

[empty quartz]

The 12 is still perfectly fine

[empty quartz]

Yeah, go replace it

[frigid blade]

It’s not, I can’t even open a larger webpage before it crashes

[empty quartz]

That might be a hardware issue

[frigid blade]

It’s not, just not enough RAM

[elder quarry]

That’s a great phone what are you talking about

[frigid blade]

iOS 18 killed my battery life

[lethal bay]

I had a 12 Pro Max and within the first 6 months the health dropped to 79% and stayed there for the next 2 and a half years

[winter lantern]

I was joking

my 12 mini works great on ios 18…

@frigid blade you’re talking to someone who daily drove an iphone 12 from late 2020 to February this year

battery life still great also

[frigid blade]

I think ima upgrade to the 16 pro or something

It will cost me almost nothing, I think $5/month

[empty quartz]

Honestly, just get the 16

[winter lantern]

Im only getting 220 Mb/s 😔

Doesn’t this just butter your bread

[frigid blade]

16 has 60Hz

[winter lantern]

Imagine

[empty quartz]

And?

[frigid blade]

I don’t like the lower refresh rate

That’s why I chose the 16 pro

[winter lantern]

60hz makes a phone feel like crap

[elder quarry]

No

[fickle ivy]

Spoiled

[winter lantern]

My phone doesn't even run games at 120hz when it should cause apple with their exclusivity deals

[elder quarry]

Who’s shaw

[winter lantern]

No its just my old phones feel like garbage

[fickle ivy]

I've never used a display regularly above 60hz

[winter lantern]

I love getting low fps in roblox

[fickle ivy]

And I've tried 144hz displays, no difference

[frigid blade]

You must have bad eyes

[winter lantern]

No they dont
Theyre just lying

[fickle ivy]

1440p oleds are where it's at for me

[fickle ivy]

I'm not lyong

[winter lantern]

Anyone who says theyre isn't a difference is lying

Yep you are

[empty quartz]

I notice the difference between 60 and 120, but i still prefer 60 for gaming lmao

[frigid blade]

The difference between 60Hz and 75Hz is even noticeable

[fickle ivy]

But it's only been for like 15 seconds

[fickle ivy]

Meh not for me

My school uses 75hz monitors

And I have a 75hz monitor myself

Tho it's a 1440x900

And 17" I think

[wet scroll]

For cinematic games i prefer 60fps for the highest res but otherwise high fps is more pleasing

[fickle ivy]

With shit colors and brightness

[winter lantern]

I dont notice a big difference between 240 and 120 tbh

[empty quartz]

Fact: people who think you need high refresh rate to game better are wrong

[lapis talon]

I need a few more people to confirm that the Nitro+ RX 9070 XT is safe

I have a square one with dying capacitors holding on for dear life

[empty quartz]

Eh

[olive parcel]

any ideas as to why this is happening, almost 70% of my lists get this error

[frigid blade]

No one thinks that you need it, but if you can play at that fps it’s better

[fickle ivy]

Tho having a higher resolution monitor makes me play better

[wet scroll]

I agree

[fickle ivy]

And a larger monitor

[golden sage]

is there anything i can do about the CPU just boosting till it hits 93 celcius in the bios? i wanna put it like perhaps, 88?

[winter lantern]

30fps makes a game feel broken

[golden sage]

93 seems abit, concerning

[fickle ivy]

I play alot better on 1440p 27" than 1080p 24"

[wet scroll]

I used to play mc at 7 whole fps until i got my pc 💔

[fickle ivy]

Tho my 1080p monitor was like $25 and my 1440p was $1500 iirc

[lethal bay]

with this being said, going from 60hz to 144hz made me jump like 5 ranks in valorant

[winter lantern]

1440p has too low of a ppi
Id rather a 4k instead

[fickle ivy]

What size?

[winter lantern]

108ppi

[frigid blade]

My 2013 laptop can run mc 1080 low at 60 fps lol

[empty quartz]

I play at 60hz (120-240fps) and i can still get 6kd in unranked r6

[fickle ivy]

My phone actually has insane ppi

470iirc

[winter lantern]

Well phones usually do

[frigid blade]

That’s obviously unrelated lol

[lethal bay]

I’d rather die than go back to 60hz

[empty quartz]

Still worse than my other phone

[frigid blade]

Unranked has dookie players anyway

[winter lantern]

Tbh monitors so behind on phone displays

[fickle ivy]

Nevermind it's 570ppi

[empty quartz]

What phone

[fickle ivy]

Galaxy S9

It's got a 1440p screen

[frigid blade]

My first phone was the J3 Prime

[winter lantern]

My s24 has a 416 ppi

[fickle ivy]

I believe even the base model s6 has a 1440p screen

[lethal bay]

I went from a 27” 1440p to a 42” 4K so the PPI is almost identical

[winter lantern]

Mine was a samsung a20

[fickle ivy]

I'm still rocking a 10 year old 1440p 27"

But shit it's still so good

[empty quartz]

You got me beat by 6ppi

[fickle ivy]

It was like a professional monitor when it came out

$1500 iirc

[winter lantern]

Im using a 1440p 49''

[fickle ivy]

Didn't even know that existed

[frigid blade]

I’ll be buying a 48in 4k OLED soon

[fickle ivy]

Oh

[empty quartz]

@fickle ivy my other phone is higher res

[winter lantern]

Its just the size of two 1440 27 inch monitors

[frigid blade]

I wish it was smaller

[lethal bay]

Ultra wide is a meme imo

[fickle ivy]

Such a nice monitor for such little mouse room

[frigid blade]

But for 4k OLED 120Hz at $500 it’s a steal

[winter lantern]

I don't move my mouse much I just do it with my wrist

[empty quartz]

I want an ultrawide for my sim rig when i finally get around to buying the cockpit

[lethal bay]

I’ve been dailying an LG C4 since Feb, pretty nice

42” 4K 144Hz OLED

[frigid blade]

I’m looking at the B4

I wish it wasn’t 48 in but

[fickle ivy]

I got a 4k 120 for 0$ get on my level

I'm a master at getting free stuff

[lapis talon]

this is safe right? Uses a 12VHPWR but its sapphire so it should be fine

[empty quartz]

@fickle ivy my lg g7 is 3120x1440p

[fickle ivy]

Damn, I used to use a g6

And then I had a velvet

[empty quartz]

I have an lg v20

[winter lantern]

I use a g9 neo 🥀

[fickle ivy]

Then a pixel 6a

Then this phone

[winter lantern]

Why's that gay

[lethal bay]

There’s no reports about this card melting but that’s probably because it’s like a 350W card lmao

[frigid junco]

should i be using a-xmp profile 1 or 2?

[fickle ivy]

I think the G6 was my first real phone

[empty quartz]

Should’ve gotten a 16 pro max 🥱

[frigid blade]

Why do GPU manufacturers place the power connectors in the spot where you want it to look empty and nice?

Why not make it face the mobo

[winter lantern]

There isnt space

[fickle ivy]

Meh I have a strong dislike for apple

But their displays do look really good

[winter lantern]

Why not make it on the bottom

[lapis talon]

yeah sim said kind of the same thing as well

[winter lantern]

So there isnt so much tension on the cord

[lapis talon]

just wanted to hear a few more people confirm it

[trim gyro]

it's easy to plug in and remove

[empty quartz]

Lemme guess, pricing?

[wet scroll]

Are xiaomi monitors any good? They have very good prices..

[fickle ivy]

Are you a controller player

[winter lantern]

My 4090 basically touches the mb

[winter lantern]

Yes

[fickle ivy]

Yes, I've always been someone who can't afford stuff

[frigid blade]

The minis actually are well priced refurb

[winter lantern]

Am I using mice wrong

[lethal bay]

I could never go back to a single monitor setup I think lol

[fickle ivy]

Also I dislike the UI and don't thing it looks good

[frigid blade]

That’s the only thing that’s not overpriced for Apple

[empty quartz]

I have a strong dislike for smasnug

[fickle ivy]

Even with my old $100 PC I had a triple monitor setup

[wet scroll]

Me personally i think theyre much more predatory than others, some of their things offer good value tho like ipads

[lethal bay]

yeah I couldn’t lol

[fickle ivy]

I need atleast 2 monitors

[empty quartz]

Smasnug is more scummy than apple

[frigid blade]

I have 2 monitors because YouTube

I can’t play games without something playing in the background

[winter lantern]

W

[frigid blade]

Or work on code without YouTube

[fickle ivy]

1 for YouTube/Spotify/discord, 1 for game, 1 for OBS/MSI afterburner/steam

[wet scroll]

I agree samsung recently has beem pulling scummy moves but not as much as apple

Samsumg used to be so good man

[lethal bay]

I lowkey barely use my third monitor but I just wanted symmetry lmao

[gloomy sleet]

use it for racing games

[empty quartz]

At least apple releases repair guides, and allows you to buy oem parts. Why did smasnug have to fuck over ifixit

[fickle ivy]

I can function with 2 monitors but it's nicer to have 3

[wet scroll]

My samsung s8 came with amazing earphones, a charging block, cable, a usb c to usb A thing

[fickle ivy]

Even in one of my classes if there's no one sitting next to me I'll use those monitors

[wet scroll]

Fair enough

[fickle ivy]

I was running a triple monitor setup in class once

[winter lantern]

I wish there was an app to make the bottom right of your screen a website

[fickle ivy]

Only have a pic of the dual monitor setup

[frigid blade]

lol, back in high school I made my own little computer corner that was reserved for me where I replaced the CPU and GPU of my school pc with better one that I found

[gloomy sleet]

firefox allows you to pop out a video and have it always on screen

[frigid blade]

I also reinstalled windows on it so I wasn’t locked behind anything

[wet scroll]

Did you try opening yt from browser and doing picture in picture

[empty quartz]

My $30 cad earbuds are some of the best iems imo (well best under $100 cad)

[gloomy sleet]

cheap iems always seem to be the best

[thin plover]

huh

[winter lantern]

I actually do have YouTube premium

[wet scroll]

I see

[winter lantern]

So i think I could

[frigid blade]

That’s not a premium feature

[round palm]

Hello my dad is planning to buy a new tv is the samsung s95f good?

[thin plover]

it used to be

[frigid blade]

I’m still paying off my RAM on my card lol

[thin plover]

I don't get it now when my premium is gone, only rarely does it activate

[wet scroll]

I just checked thwyre unavailable hear 💔 js cad mics

[round palm]

Samsung s95f

[fickle ivy]

Is fixing a water damaged laptop good for my first laptop repair?

[frigid blade]

Probably

[fickle ivy]

I already did it

It was pretty easy

Just opened it up, cleaned it out, scrubbed of the corrosion with iso and a qtip

And it worked, tho I still need to get a charger for it, I used my teachers charger to make sure it worked

[empty quartz]

Im talking about the salnotes zero’s

[dapper light]

vr?

[empty quartz]

True

[winter lantern]

I got 99th place in a game of fort

[fickle ivy]

Racing sim or flight sim?

[dapper light]

i use q3 for flight and racing sim 100% worth it

and i got a triple

[fickle ivy]

I want a decent joystick but don't have any money

[empty quartz]

Racing

[fickle ivy]

I have a cheap shitty old one right now

[fickle ivy]

Oh, I've used a racing sim once it was fun asf

[gloomy sleet]

racing sims are cool

[wet scroll]

Are these good, theyre 55$

[cosmic compass]

i need help, is this a good under 1.9k build? or should i change something?

[dapper light]

i am already feeling the shitty 2Nm of the g29 :(

[mint bluff]

If you had $1500 budget to built a completely new PC for your nephew, exluding monitor. What CPU, GPU you would take?

[dapper light]

GT 1030 and take the rest for my second 3090

[gloomy sleet]

buy a 21nm wheel

just spend more bro

[dapper light]

you wanna break my hand?

[frigid blade]

Eh

[winter lantern]

Racing games seem very boring

So I dont get it

[gloomy sleet]

i’ve unironically been told “you should have just saved up twice as much and bought this”

[gloomy sleet]

nah

[dapper light]

ill just get a moza r5 if im still into racing in the future

[gloomy sleet]

doing a 24 hour race seems boring.

[dapper light]

g29 got good resale

[gloomy sleet]

but 24 hours of racing is almost never boring

[winter lantern]

This is basically everyone to a 9070xt

Spend 400 on a 4070 nah
But spend 800 on the 9070xt

[gloomy sleet]

you just need to find your crack

[fickle ivy]

Horizontally rotating Bluetooth speaker

[frigid blade]

Isn’t the 9070xt not much faster than the 5070?

[sterile kestrel]

Ever tried driving with a wheel?

[gloomy sleet]

you need to find your racing addiction

[winter lantern]

I haven't tried driving irl

[dapper light]

vr + wheel = peak

[limpid ivy]

I survived a 4 hour one recently. Pure chaos in that ACC lobby

[frigid blade]

Oh it’s much faster

[gloomy sleet]

doing a 40 minute race in acc is my legal crack

[winter lantern]

The 9070xt can reach 5080 levels

[sterile kestrel]

I wanna get vr too

[winter lantern]

Its a high end gpu

[gloomy sleet]

nice

i don’t do much endurance anymore

[dapper light]

im still trying to get a good lap on nurburgring

[sterile kestrel]

Which one is good for asseto corsa? I dunno anything about vr’s

[gloomy sleet]

my typical race is 1-4 hours

[frigid blade]

I’m looking at game benchmarks, it’s on par with the 5070 in some games lmao

[limpid ivy]

trying not to stall when getting bumped was the fun part.

[cosmic compass]

i got this bc 5080 are +500€

[gloomy sleet]

don’t practice the nordschliefe

[winter lantern]

Just undervolt then overclock

[gloomy sleet]

find a track that’s easy and has corners that most other tracks also have similar corners of

spa red bull ring monza silverstone and brands hatch are all good choices for a track to learn

[limpid ivy]

Literally had to keep my foot on the clutch when I spun out but seems like I manage to get the hang of that.

[gloomy sleet]

fair

i binded my starter to my clutch pedal in acc

if you hold your starter in that game you won’t stall when you spin

[limpid ivy]

hmm I should prob do that too

[winter lantern]

Are fans supposed to stop spinning when you're not doing anything?

[cosmic compass]

the 5070 are cheaper and 5070 ti are more expensive

[winter lantern]

For the gpu

[gloomy sleet]

for me i just no life’d zolder and red bull ring

[kindred halo]

Is the Pro B650M-E really shite like some people make it out to be, or?

[gloomy sleet]

i literally know red bull ring blind

[winter lantern]

Its 200$ less and 200$ more

[gloomy sleet]

i did a blind lap and it was 2 seconds off my normal laps

[winter lantern]

So far this is the best deal ive seen

People say 9070xt + 7800x3d builds they got for less are better 😔

[hidden hill]

anyone know a way to get the windows ui to be black for my oled monitor

would like it more than the dark grey but windows doesnt have a way by base

[frigid blade]

Look how cheap I got this upgrade https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Lm3KRV

Just under $1k before taxes

[hidden hill]

getting a bunch of new fans?

that motherboard is pretty nice looking, this a pretty high end one?

[frigid blade]

Yes, I found it Used-Like New for $320 instead of $480

[hidden hill]

yeah was about to say its price can go for even 600

nice deal you got there!

[frigid blade]

Yep, on Amazon. So I have some pretty ok Buyer protection

[winter lantern]

Bro copying my build

[thin plover]

damn ur screen ratio is worse than mine

I thought I had a thin phone

[hidden hill]

wonder what 3300$ could get me at microcenter

[frigid blade]

It can get you a lot if you just build your own

[hidden hill]

do they charge a lot to do it for you?

[frigid blade]

Idk, but I know they can build your pc

[hidden hill]

looks like its 100$
