[random gyro]

Ya it won’t let me

[buoyant vapor]

Is there anyway to put the intel stock cooler into pcpartpicker

[tidal geyser]

why

[true stirrup]

Add it as a custom part

[rigid fjord]

if it's a cpu like a 12400/12400f then no need as those comes with the stock cooler

[rigid fjord]

or this

[tidal geyser]

https://streamable.com/8fhejm

[random gyro]

I had to upload it to link

[tidal geyser]

huh looks fine to me

[buoyant vapor]

No but i mean the cpu im getting has a stock cooler but is there anyway to input it into here, i dont like the gap

[tidal geyser]

too bad

[random gyro]

So it’s not the pins

[true stirrup]

The gap will disappear when you stop editing the list

[cyan latch]

Apple has the most useless alarm app ever, shutting off on its own, not ringing sometimes, I legit don’t understand how you can mess up a alarm app that bad

[gleaming rose]

its apple what do you expect

[teal sinew]

works on my device

[random gyro]

Maybe it’s because I haven’t did the bios yet?

[proper gull]

The cpu is fucked

[buoyant vapor]

Anyways most of my part parts for my build came today 👍

[random gyro]

Yea it prolly boots unlatched because the cpu isn’t actually connecting to the motherboard

cuz it’ll boot without cpu too

[tidal geyser]

why not am5

[true stirrup]

Nice ram
It should be Hynix die

[proper gull]

If thing 1 works until you add thing 2 then thing 2 is likely the cause

Unless there's an issue under the socket

[random gyro]

I mean maybe it’s cuz I haven’t q flashed a bios yet? Idk

[proper gull]

Which could be a small short, causing the CPU light, and then a bigger short when under latch pressure, causing it to not start at all

[proper gull]

That wouldn't cause this issue

[tidal geyser]

motherboard still has the 14th gen marking on it does it not

[random gyro]

Yea but like I’m trying everything 💔💔

[random gyro]

Only thing that’s on the under of the motherboard is my bracket

[tidal geyser]

new cpu time

[random gyro]

I mean, the bracket was on when I shorted my other motherboard

[proper gull]

Under the socket, not on the back of the board

[random gyro]

But I don’t think that’s why

ohh

I kinda shorted my motherboard near my cpu last time so

[tidal geyser]

how

[wet scroll]

Thank you

[random gyro]

Screwdriver

[wet scroll]

6700xt is only available used and i am unable to find a 6750 for under 400, 7700xt here costs around 450, the 4060 here is 300-320

[tidal geyser]

uh eh wha how tf wa

[wet scroll]

For where i live the 4060 and rx6650xt are the best value for price but both are 8gb

For brand new cards that is

[tidal geyser]

get a 6700 xt

[random gyro]

Valorant , mid game, screwdriver touch motherboard, everything turn off

[wet scroll]

I dont want a used card, if im getting a used one im getting a 3070ti

[tidal geyser]

why play valorant and then screw inside the pc

such a good card IF it had more vram

[wet scroll]

Which

6700?

[random gyro]

It was on test bench cuz I was doing something the night prior

[tidal geyser]

wat

that is a 10gig card

[wet scroll]

What card were you talking about

[random gyro]

I think I can get a refund for my cpu to

[wet scroll]

I see

[tidal geyser]

the cpu you killed?

[wet scroll]

Its only 8gb

[tidal geyser]

and the 6700 xt is 12GB

[wet scroll]

How much tdp?

[tidal geyser]

does it matter

[random gyro]

Mhm

[deft lynx]

@gleaming rose I've decided to go with Ubuntu, I couldn't figure out the Debian one

[wet scroll]

Yes bcs id need to get a new psu if its too much

[rigid fjord]

like 230-250w at best

[gleaming rose]

ubuntu server? or just plain ubuntu

[tidal geyser]

6700 xt is 230w a lot less then the 3070 ti

[wet scroll]

Yeahhh id need a better psu later on 😭

[deft lynx]

plain, should i do the server instead?

[wet scroll]

Ik id need a new psu for both

[gleaming rose]

yes use ubuntu server

[wet scroll]

While 4060 or 6650xt i wont

[tidal geyser]

what do you have now

[rigid fjord]

what's the make and model of your current psu ?

[random gyro]

Amazon refunds like anything bro I’m ngl

[tidal geyser]

and what cpu

[deft lynx]

ok ill cancel the ISO im making and use that then

[gleaming rose]

make sure to use rufus

[wet scroll]

deepcool pk650d and my cpu is i5 9400 but i will upgrade to a ryzen 5 5600

[tidal geyser]

eh???

that is not really something you can call any big upgrade

[deft lynx]

Whats Rufus lol?

[tidal geyser]

and then you can do a rx 6800 or rtx 3080 with that

[gleaming rose]

https://rufus.ie/en/

[wet scroll]

Out of budget

[tidal geyser]

i know but saying YOU DO NOT NEED A NEW PSU

[true stirrup]

I am running a 300W GPU and 200W CPU on 650W

[tidal geyser]

both of his cpus is like 88w max

[deft lynx]

oh i'm using Balenetcher

Ubuntu gave me a 3 step guide, the other one took me on a wikipedia tour to try and figure it out lol

[random gyro]

Atleast I know my 1600w evga supernova works

[tidal geyser]

hahahahhaha

[true stirrup]

Exactly
He won't come close to what I'm pulling and it's working fine for me

[gleaming rose]

oh you do the same thing for debian

[random gyro]

I got a 1600w plat evga supernova p2 for like 40$

I thought it would be broken ngl bro

[wet scroll]

Im scared because my last psu killed a 190w gpu

[gleaming rose]

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso
use this w/ rufus

ubuntu is based on debian

[tidal geyser]

what was the last psu

[wet scroll]

Insane luck

[deft lynx]

Yeh i can see that now, but Debian explains it really badly

[wet scroll]

I dont remember but it was 750w and bronze

[tidal geyser]

skill

[random gyro]

Finna resell it so I can get a cpu 💔

[tidal geyser]

lite power or some shit

[deft lynx]

Will Ubuntu server not be better than Debian?

[true stirrup]

Bad PSU or just unlucky coincidence

[gleaming rose]

not really, https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/index.en.html

[gleaming rose]

no it's ubuntu, ubuntu sucks

[gleaming rose]

they explain it in almost excruciating detail

[wet scroll]

If i get a new gpu and get one of the coincidences ill legit move to console 😭

[deft lynx]

Dude look at the difference that's a novel, Ubunti, was click here, do this, then install!! lol

[gleaming rose]

you dont need that though, it's the same process

[true stirrup]

Your PSU right now is C tier
It should be completely fine

[deft lynx]

yeh i can see that now, but at the time it was a minefield

[wet scroll]

Alright

Is the 6700xt better or a 6650xt? The 6650xt brand new is the same price as a 6700xt

[tidal geyser]

bigger number better ofc

[wet scroll]

Worth getting a used card over a brand new tho?

[tidal geyser]

used has a way lower chance to be DoA

and ngl i prefer buying used over new

[wet scroll]

Whats doa?

[true stirrup]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

dead on arrival

[wet scroll]

The place id buy from has very nice return policies

[tidal geyser]

nice

[wet scroll]

There is also a used 7600xt 16gb for the same as a 4060

[tidal geyser]

no

[wet scroll]

I see, thank you

What website should i use to compare gpus also?

[tidal geyser]

@true stirrup

this thing https://gpu-perf-comparison.vercel.app/

[sweet mountain]

my old pc is ‘RAM read/write failure’ error coding. I took all the sticks out, and each one works fine on its own in the first slot, but as soon as i add a second stick of ram, it error codes again. Anyone know why?

[gleaming rose]

meow :3

[queen urchin]

videocard benchmarks: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/

[tidal geyser]

one in channel a and the other in b?

[true stirrup]

I'm going to try to push the 50 series and 9000 series for Tom's Hardware today

[queen urchin]

you can also compare on it and do cpus gpus disks ect

[sweet mountain]

wdym

[tidal geyser]

this is not for gaming

[queen urchin]

oh mb

[tidal geyser]

ram channels

[sweet mountain]

there are 4

[tidal geyser]

no

2

[sweet mountain]

they are labelled 1 2 3 4 and now it’s seeming to work with onr in 2 and 3

[wet scroll]

Thank yiu

[tidal geyser]

wa

how would that work

that is a2 and b1

[tidal geyser]

reseat cpu

[sweet mountain]

no it’s not labelled that way

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[sweet mountain]

it’s old

[latent pasture]

look at the manual

[tidal geyser]

tf is dat

[tidal geyser]

for this?

[latent pasture]

doesnt matter how old

[tidal geyser]

THAT IS A M-SATA SLOT

HOLY SHIUT

[sweet mountain]

yes i have and the error code says it’s RAM read/write rrrkr

[dapper oar]

is the alienware aw2725df for 550$ worth it or can i find smt better for that price?

[sweet mountain]

error

[tidal geyser]

reseat cpu

[sweet mountain]

reseat this bad boy

[rigid fjord]

the psu would have been fine for a 6700xt tbh, also, it would be a fairly decent upgrade cpu wise

[rigid fjord]

tbf, the 5600 can be set to 70w under pbo and not feel any performance lost

[proper gull]

Burn it with fire

Lots of fire

[wet scroll]

I wanna upgrade to that cpu so i wont be having bottlenecks ngl

But my cpu is running fine

[sweet mountain]

it seems like it works with ram in slots 2 3 4 in this very specific order

like if i swap the on in 2 and 3 around it codes

[sinful cobalt]

let me guess he put it into the wrong hole

[tidal geyser]

wat

[sinful cobalt]

wat

https://tenor.com/view/cats-cat-bengals-bengal-cat-running-gif-24626200

[wet scroll]

Is the diffrence in ray tracing that big between amd and nvidia or

[latent pasture]

big

[rigid fjord]

big but pointless

[latent pasture]

amd's best rt fps is only the halfway midtiers of nvidia

of the gpu lineup, not price

[wet scroll]

The only game id play that has rtx is prolly cyberpunk

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[tender rock]

Would i be better off with having the gpu rad in the top?

[sinful cobalt]

90 series closes the gap but 9070xt is like somewhere between the 5070 and 5070ti in RT

[wet scroll]

Yes

[sinful cobalt]

And in games that dont favour the AMD gpu, as low as a 4070

[tender rock]

Shet will do that then 😅

[wet scroll]

Sadly tje 9070zt is mad expensive here smh

[tidal geyser]

and in some games that are made for nvidia the 9070 xt is abouit as good as a 5080

[sinful cobalt]

ahem doom da

[latent pasture]

prefer the gpu to get fresher air bc it needs to cool waaaay more power than cpu
so use it as an intake, which kinda means it prefers to be front/side

[wet scroll]

Ik that the 9070 has insaneee value for price

[tidal geyser]

get a 9060 xt

[sinful cobalt]

I overpaid for mine since smh

[wet scroll]

It wont release here for a while

[sinful cobalt]

but imo it wasnt the WORST 9070xt to buy

the elephant in the room was asus prime and TUF

[wet scroll]

I dont have a gpu rn im on igpu im suffering 💔

[deft lynx]

Well this was all a waste of time not even getting a Bios output on my old PC

[high lance]

are there any stores like micro center but in the uk?

[tidal geyser]

not really

[tender rock]

The cpu is hotter than the gpu with the current setup

[wet scroll]

Im forever thankful we have hundreds of stores like micro centre here..

[gloomy sleet]

no

[golden sage]

Guys, just wondering, is it possible to change the dark mode's grey on windows 11? i wanna get a darker grey

[latent pasture]

if its amd cpu thats normal

[tender rock]

Ye so figured id have the side as intake with cpu rad and the top as exhaust with gpu rad

Bottom is also intake and putting 2 exhaust fans in the back when i get them

[sinful cobalt]

I think there is a github for it, not surd tho, gotta search online

[latent pasture]

id rather have the thing using 400 watts get the freshest air than the thing that loses no performance going past 75w

the newest cpus are configured to push as hard as possible on ANY cooler just to get max perf

[tawdry whale]

no i didn't lol, everything is hooked up correctly

[tender rock]

Its a 9800x3d and 5090 lc

[sinful cobalt]

display cable correct right? sry if im asking it twice

[tidal geyser]

it is

[tawdry whale]

yes

[sinful cobalt]

updated bios?

[tawdry whale]

yes

[sinful cobalt]

drivers?

[tender rock]

Wouldnt there be more dust coming in if the top is intake?

[tawdry whale]

im on the computer rn with the gpu uninstalled rn

[sinful cobalt]

see if it happens on the basic display driver

like no drivers at all

if it keeps doing it then ig gpu problem

[latent pasture]

see the graph above
amd has been fighting a losing war over 3 years trying to inform people that their cpus boosting behavior will push 95c on ANY COOLER given to it and that thats fine
going from $15 cooler to $150 360mm aio improves temps by, 1 celsius waw

[tawdry whale]

yep

[golden sage]

that explains my 9800x3d at 95C despite i properly put thermal paste and mounted the cooler, liquid freezer ii 360mm

[golden sage]

this felt so unusual, i was a lifetime intel user changing to amd

[sinful cobalt]

urs was eating how many watts again

[golden sage]

95c on a syntethic benchmark ofc, 145W

[latent pasture]

if u want low temps, u cap the power limit
amd scales pretty poorly with power anyway,

[sinful cobalt]

10c between us, weird

[golden sage]

Yeah i've set a "PBO thermal limit 85" on my msi bios, and i set the fan curves so now its better i guess

[sinful cobalt]

I put my scale of how far PBO can push it to 7 and not the max being 10

[latent pasture]

bc of some math their 65w tdp=88w actualy power, and 105w tdp= 145w power
on gaming, 0% difference
on max multithread workload, +10% more perf for +70% the power

[sinful cobalt]

might try 10 if i update the bios

[golden sage]

Wait, so i can set it even lower if i want? damn, might just go thermal limit 75 or even 65 then

[sinful cobalt]

tdp is the thermal design so yea it makes sense

he’s right tho amd sucks at power scaling

[tidal geyser]

kill me

[safe acorn]

can someone help me with this

character moves only using the joystick and not the Dpad

but this time none of the dpad or joytick was connected when i freshly booted

so how is it recieving input

[wet scroll]

This monitor any good?

[plush wren]

[serene pumice]

So true(typed on a VA monitor)

[plush wren]

[serene pumice]

Great black levels though.

[raven scroll]

Just realized that I should just stick to headsets

Also why do wired headsets not have active noise cancellation or transparency

[tidal geyser]

they do

my teacher had one

[raven scroll]

I cant find em anymore

Or at least from big brands

[plain cypress]

They tend to be more budget oriented

[lethal moth]

Is this the 5V argb header on the z590 is ac? I can't find it anywhere on the specification

[serene pumice]

Yayy, it's back.

[plush wren]

anyone by chance used tozo nc9s?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[plain cypress]

D-LED-2

[raven scroll]

I just love anc but hate the shit mic quality from wireless

[edgy holly]

Based

[lethal moth]

Ok Ty

[edgy holly]

Evil house ?

Does he make rats get human bites

[plush wren]

[lethal moth]

Eh who needs to install the heatsink and thermal paste anyways only running it for a second to test argb

[lethal moth]

No because it's always lupus

[plain cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-house-gif-13390470055447068071

[lethal moth]

Hooray fan works

[edgy holly]

Doctor home

[lethal moth]

Chat the fan works

Now wtf is this for

[tidal geyser]

more argb

[plush wren]

bomb

[lethal moth]

And it's allll BLUE

[lethal moth]

Fuck you mean more argb

Where does it go

[tidal geyser]

you can connect more argb stuff to it

[lethal moth]

Ohhh I see

[silent cypress]

It’s because wireless headsets already have a battery inside

[lethal moth]

I don't have more argb stuff maybe I'll replace my case fans eventually

[random gyro]

Such a sad month

[lethal moth]

Chat is it good to run the pc without the heatsink being pressed down with screws

[latent pasture]

no

[tidal geyser]

it died

[lethal moth]

Nah trust it's good

[raven scroll]

But wired headsets have a constant power supply right?

[random gyro]

You can run it but turn it off quick

[raven scroll]

Or am I stupid

[latent pasture]

my man good single tower coolers are like $15

[lethal moth]

Yeah that's what I've been doing

[silent cypress]

Well not exactly

[lethal moth]

Why does the CPU fan stay on do long lmaooo

[random gyro]

Bro sim 220$ down 💔

[tidal geyser]

ehg

[silent cypress]

A lot of wired headsets use a 3.5mm audio jack

Bo power just audio

[tidal geyser]

ffs, next time do not i dono fuck around inside the pc while its running with a screw driver

[silent cypress]

So unless it uses usb a or smth no power for anc

[tidal geyser]

headphones only get enough power for the speakers nothing more

[silent cypress]

That’s why there are very few wired headsets that use anc

[random gyro]

if it doesn’t work after I get a new cpu bro 💔

[tidal geyser]

the 3.5 jack can ONLY do audio

[random gyro]

I’m gonna try to get a refund threw Amazon

[lethal moth]

Do I listen to it

[raven scroll]

Oh

[random gyro]

Ye proly

[raven scroll]

Don’t see why they can’t just make a usb powered wired headset

[silent cypress]

Money money money

Wirlesss + anc = expensive

Also ig anc is designed for ppl who travel or commute a lot

Which fits well with wireless

[tidal geyser]

and at some point you do just have to go, why tf not just make em wireless

[lethal moth]

Nah it's fine

[atomic shuttle]

Is it possible to add krita to my amd radeon games?

[rigid fjord]

always

[tidal geyser]

wat

[atomic shuttle]

Krita is a software for graphic design

I wonder if I can add it to amd radeon

[tidal geyser]

uh how would that work

[atomic shuttle]

because Photoshop is on there but I can't add Krita on there

It doesn't show up when I go to "add games"

[raven scroll]

I think wireless does have benefits

[tidal geyser]

me able to walk all over my house vs my old ones getting stuck on anything and the cable breaking again and again

[atomic shuttle]

Because I want to enable Vsync and reduce delay on my drawing program

[tidal geyser]

not how that works

[raven scroll]

Id just like to see more of the wireless benefits being put on wired headsets

[tidal geyser]

why

why not do wireless

[raven scroll]

Main reason?

Mainly mic quality

[tidal geyser]

i dono if ya need better just get a desktop mic

or get a lav mic

[raven scroll]

Well why would I get a headset just to use a dedicated mic

[tidal geyser]

good mic quality?

[raven scroll]

My workspace is a bit tight

[west wagon]

Having a battery is the biggest downside for the jobless

[raven scroll]

Jobless?

[west wagon]

Me

[tidal geyser]

too bad

[west wagon]

Also the weight is mad

[raven scroll]

I don’t mind having to recharge

[tidal geyser]

only real benefit i can see wired over wireless is sound quality

[raven scroll]

Yes

[west wagon]

Price tho

[tidal geyser]

but even then you would first of all need good equipment AND then the stuff you hear needs to be hifi ofc.

[west wagon]

And interferances can be a thing ?

[raven scroll]

Personally I think mic quality is biggest difference

[tidal geyser]

if people hear me well enough meh

[raven scroll]

People ask about my mic quality

When I’m using headset mic

But that could be discord automatically cutting out when you yell too loud

[silent cypress]

That could absolutely be possible

[lethal moth]

Real I hate y splitters

[silent cypress]

But most brands are too busy milking wireless clout

[lethal moth]

Wireless sucks only good for school so your teacher doesn't see

[silent cypress]

And reserve wired for budget

[raven scroll]

Well you’re not gonna be wearing a full headset if you’re trying to be hidden

[lethal moth]

Yeah wireless is only good for earphones, which are only good for class

[tidal geyser]

wat

[lethal moth]

Wir better unless school

[tidal geyser]

has this guy ever used wireless headphones worth more then 20$

[tidal geyser]

ever tried to move around with wired headphones

[lethal moth]

Yes

Well earphones not headphones

[tidal geyser]

you mean in ear?

like the air pods?

[lethal moth]

No

[serene pumice]

If it would been even close to importante, they surely would had removed it from the factory already.

[lethal moth]

Exactly.

[serene pumice]

I say keep it on, & sell it to the next guy later on, "as good as new"

[lethal moth]

I use earphones for school, only use where I like earphones
At my pc I use wired headphones because personally I don't pick up my pc tower when I go to the toilet

[lethal moth]

Good idea. Not like my CPU will thermal throttle (ignore my nephew)

[tidal geyser]

uh i do hope you do more things then sit in front of the pc all day, i like watching stuff on my pc while cleaning or working on stuff

[lethal moth]

I just use my phone while doing that

Or if I really want to use audiorelay

[serene pumice]

What, haven't you heard sim? They launched a new covid in Asia. It's dangerous to go outside again.

[lethal moth]

My pc is out of service rn because my cooler forgot to put lga1200 mounting screws in there

[tidal geyser]

my headphones have both 2.4ghz aka i can use my pc and bluetooth so i can connect to my phone at the same time

[raven scroll]

Wireless is pretty good long shit sessions where you can still talk to people in a call

[serene pumice]

Neat! I lost one of the special Nocta nuts while changing CPU.
So I can't use my PC no more.

[raven scroll]

Do you have a dedicated mic

[serene pumice]

Gotta love proprietary stuff

[lethal moth]

F
I'm just having fun turning my pc on for 5 seconds watch the argb wait 10 minutes and repeat

[lethal moth]

I wish I knew what screws it actually used

[bronze summit]

Din mamma hund

[tidal geyser]

yes but i just use the one built into the headhones

[lethal moth]

what mounting screws does the ax90se use for lga1200

[bronze summit]

The headphones one is funnier

[lethal moth]

Okay does thermalright have a phone number to call because I'm getting no response on their part

[raven scroll]

Is there a specific reason?

[gloomy sleet]

i just rewatched the minecraft movie

how the fuck did they manage to make the cgi so shit

[tidal geyser]

i dono more fun

o no wait i am able to move around and speak to people

[tidal geyser]

did you watch the work print?

[gloomy sleet]

one shot a sheep will be make of literally 4 polygons and the next shot is the most immaculate realistic minecraft sheep you’ve ever seen

[gloomy sleet]

no

i watched the actual movie

[swift trout]

which rx 9070xt is the best to buy?

[gloomy sleet]

the cheapest one

[swift trout]

performance wise they are all the same or minimal difference?

[tidal geyser]

the one at best buy

[tidal geyser]

tbf you do have the 304w and 340w versions

[swift trout]

The cheapest one here are the ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB and next in line the ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Steel Legend 16GB

[kindred halo]

How serviceable is the 8700G in terms of being an APU

[lapis talon]

I am about to pull the trigger on this

[plain cypress]

It'll work I suppose

But even a basic GPU is better

[lapis talon]

good idea?

[plain cypress]

8700g is basically a rog ally

[kindred halo]

It's pretty much a 1650 w/ 16GB of VRAM

[plain cypress]

It absolutely isn't "16gb of vram"

[kindred halo]

And around 100 USD cheaper than said card (when factoring both together)

[kindred halo]

Shared RAM, I know

[plain cypress]

It is still normal bandwidth desktop ddr

How much is a used Rx 6600 tho

I'd get a 7500f (I think that's the sku) and 6600xt

[kindred halo]

Well, I can get one for around 240ish as opposed to a 7600X for 200 & a 1650 for 90-100

[kindred halo]

Lemme check

Also I am trying to stay as cheap as possible on this, like sub 600 levels

I achieved it with an 8600G, just about with an 8700G

540/580

Okay a 6600 XT is 145ish

[plain cypress]

So worth it

[kindred halo]

A 2070 is 150

Could try to haggle down to 130

[plain cypress]

Fine

[kindred halo]

6600 XT could also be haggled to 110 with some luck

[plain cypress]

All will be a better experience than the 8700g if you want to game

Also this is a case of save up a bit more for a bit longer if you must, so that you can afford a better product that will last longer

[kindred halo]

Wait quick question

How's an 8500G fair against a 7500F in pure CPU capabilities

[plain cypress]

7500F hands down

[kindred halo]

Pretty much reached my time ceiling

[plain cypress]

Fine get a used 2070S or 6600XT

[kindred halo]

What could the said 7500F be compared to in Intel terms

[plain cypress]

Idk, 12400?

[gleaming rose]

Daniel

[kindred halo]

Tad disappointing, I could build a system with a 14400F for 597 including a 6700 XT

I could, but I'd rather get on AM5

Unless I just upgrade with what options LGA 1700 has until it can't take any more upgrades

Would that work?

[golden sage]

Does anyone know why only on windows taskbar search the text looks blurry?

[plain cypress]

Oh do that

[kindred halo]

Redoing the build

Using DDR5 this time

[plain cypress]

Make multiple parts lists

[kindred halo]

I'll make one for the build that had an H610, one for the B760 DDR4, and one for DDR5

[lapis talon]

I need someone's opinions on this

[tidal geyser]

@plain cypress First list
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WXzyTM 14400F - DDR5

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kYZLBq - 14400F - DDR4 - B760M-E

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wHgsC8 14400F - DDR4 - H610M-S

[lapis talon]

dont the specs look too good to be true for that price

$415 USD

[tidal geyser]

yeah looks pretty bad

considering you can get QD-OLED 1440p 240hz for about 400USD some times

[granite sundial]

u can save 20 bucks on the ram by getting cl36

20 bucks on motherboard

[tidal geyser]

he is not in the US

[lapis talon]

I dont live in the US so no discounts for me

[granite sundial]

oh why is it us pc part picker

[tidal geyser]

why did you use dollar then

[lapis talon]

to make it easier to understand the price

[tidal geyser]

NO

you just saw how it did not

[lapis talon]

true

[granite sundial]

what where? havent they just released

[tidal geyser]

QD-OLED is what 4 years old

[lapis talon]

but should I go for those specs for the price theyre at right now?

thats the cheapest IPS panel that has over 200hz

[granite sundial]

1440p qd-oleds are new iirc

[tidal geyser]

no

[sly halo]

Hey I need some help, so I can't decide wether to get a gaming laptop or ps5, cant consider pc because I'm moving for uni.
I got a $1000 but I'll need a tv/monitor too if i get a ps5 since i live alone

[granite sundial]

what games do u play

[kindred halo]

@plain cypress 3 lists done

Didn't bother doing for AM5, since it isn't worth it with the type of CPUs I'll be able to get really

[plain cypress]

What about used am4

Hell, even used LGA1700

[night urchin]

what have i just found. spot the difference

[plain cypress]

The point is if your budget is $600 shop the Second hand market

[kindred halo]

Used LGA 1700 isn't available here

[plain cypress]

The cable is wild

[kindred halo]

And anything good for AM4 like the 5600 there's no used either

[plain cypress]

Do you live in a 3rd world country or something

[kindred halo]

BUT it's 105 USD

[kindred halo]

Yes
Lebanon, Middle East

[plain cypress]

Oh

Oh I see

[kindred halo]

-Boards are also decently cheap I think??

I want to get a majority new build though

I want this thing to last a while

[spark sentinel]

idk

[tidal geyser]

no

[clear spruce]

ight XD

cause i have one, a really old one

[glacial solstice]

Hi, i may need a little help to someone to direct me a bit, you see, i have acquired an AMD sapphire pulse 7900xt which was certainly watercooled, its the bare board, fortunately it works! --- however it was sold to me barebone, yet i was able to acquire a stock air cooler with he same SKU the card uses, basically the original cooler the card used, but i have a snag, there is no instructions on how to assemble the card into the air cooler, i have all the screws, thermal putty and all else including the metal square bracket that goes in the rear, but there are simply no instructions, if anyone could direct me where can i find a guide or a manual or anything to assemble the card back, thatd be awesome, much appreciated!

[spark sentinel]

bro dropped a whole poem

[clear spruce]

:D

[spark sentinel]

this one id older than my grandpa

[glacial solstice]

uh, sorry? was it the wrong chat to ask?

[spark sentinel]

think rare

[clear spruce]

maybe

[spark sentinel]

no i was just kidding

[spark sentinel]

i had a ps one mouse

[gilded sparrow]

bruh so my $200 gpu isnt consider high value item but MY $80 psu is and im not home to sign for it

[spark sentinel]

but idk where it is

[distant frigate]

Really good speeds.

[gilded sparrow]

WHEN in not home so i have to ask my friend to go get it for me

[distant frigate]

500+ Mbps download is plenty

[sly halo]

Hey could someone help me

[spark sentinel]

why is the download high but the upload low

[gilded sparrow]

id always say pc over console but im just bias

[sly halo]

well its laptop not pc technically

I don't know if the GPU performace carries over

[gilded sparrow]

a laptop is a type of personal computer

[distant frigate]

Gigabit!

[ebon marlin]

One thing you could do is search on youtube for the cards disassembly and just reverse it

[spark sentinel]

nice but im asking why is the download high but the upload is low

[sly halo]

Yeah but do u think its better to get a ps5 performance wise or a $1000 gaming laptop

[glacial solstice]

i see, ill look for such, thank you!

[gilded sparrow]

even if u had the same equivalent gpu its still not gonna preform as fluid as console due to lack of optimzation in pc ports but u have more freedom to add mods and do tons of other stuff and ur not locked down to what a manufacturer says

[gilded sparrow]

$1000 gaming laptop

[spark sentinel]

get a hp victus

[shrewd ridge]

Can someone help me with my resolution

[distant frigate]

LOL it just dropped to regular 5G

nah get this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-tuf-gaming-a16-16-165hz-gaming-laptop-fhd-amd-ryzen-7-7735hs-with-16gb-ddr5-memory-radeon-rx7700s-512gb-pcie-ssd-off-black/6560989.p?skuId=6560989&ref=212&loc=20903165221&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20903166385&gbraid=0AAAAAD-ORIgqoOlU_WP_TBgaZ2DfZuew-&gclid=Cj0KCQjwotDBBhCQARIsAG5pinPgho_4U1cGFfM1G1gQsmMDZBxfby2CExe4ee4DcGTUEFGHwN7UN84aAv9FEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[distant frigate]

Much slower speeds

[sly halo]

Was thinking of that

the IPS display is what i like

other laptops are too bulky for a fucking 3060 or whatever

[gilded sparrow]

the one is sent is great value and has ips faster refreshrate and has a better gpu

[spark sentinel]

my brother has the hp victus rtx 3050 i5 12th gen i think

[gilded sparrow]

3050 ew but ig its a laptop sp 3050 is fine

[spark sentinel]

yea

[sly halo]

whats the nvidia equivalent of this laptops gpu

[gilded sparrow]

rx 7700

[spark sentinel]

im thinking to get a 3060ti

for my pc

[flint orbit]

so all 50 cards are a fraud? might be better to wait for the super variants

[sly halo]

so i wanna play rdr2, gta and spiderman mainly

will a laptop run those fine or better than ps5?

[gilded sparrow]

yeah

Actually this laptop would run them great

u have abt a rx 7700xt which is better than the 4060 and a 8 core cpu for less that $1000 bucks witch still leaves u budget

[spark sentinel]

get the rx 7900 xtx

[sly halo]

Oh i had no clue it was better than the 4060 dang

[spark sentinel]

but if budget rx 580

[gilded sparrow]

hes looking for a laptop

[spark sentinel]

oh

[gilded sparrow]

not a part

[spark sentinel]

i thought a gpu

[gilded sparrow]

lemme Break it down naming wise the 4060 is equivalent to the rx7600 4070- rx7700- 4080-rx7800- 4090- rx7900 its pretty simple

[sly halo]

hows a 7840 HS?

[somber void]

No

[ocean axle]

no, thats wrong

[sly halo]

I like the victus look more

[tidal geyser]

nice

[sly halo]

found a victus with that for the same price

[ocean axle]

the 7900XTX is on par with the 4080 (super)

[inland cove]

ordered a 5700x3d to upgrade my 5600x. will i need to reset bios settings or anything before installing the new cpu?

[gilded sparrow]

nlt as good as a 7700s

far worse

[tidal geyser]

just latest bios

[grizzled frost]

7900xtx and 4080S have nearly identical performance at 4k ultra raster

[ocean axle]

consult the graph

[somber void]

7900 xtx is a 4080 with more vram
7800 xt is a 4070 with more vram
7700 xt is a 4060 ti with more vram

[spark sentinel]

this is a nice hp victus https://www.amazon.com/HP-Victus-Gaming-i5-13420H-GeForce/dp/B0DN5RWNNC/ref=sr_1_7?crid=15F6Y0U19H7IS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BbJq0yA7_8iGaAhGW2YfwnuLb6w-5M7ZuF-b_V-ZuJUjfUUqumMdDhPzAJ7tgJkA_mCCDYS0bP897l9gCNKA1Rv29vCsXaa5T63VaLxAs-tw-azjq0sFW_OR0zdrHHEdZRe5rOM7FowT5fAqxPPMzJQHZr4q5n6KF8nyubk2tOhNGSM2VLwq7iaCTdml_krKGZ7sZufof7heT35DJTO0i5-UlgrkjwD3RSyQ4Yn7IHw.IqLL9H6MiJDIdePLFnSJPOoMMJp6CHuTeNzyNelAoM8&dib_tag=se&keywords=hp+victus&qid=1748283583&sprefix=hp+victus%2Caps%2C336&sr=8-7

[gilded sparrow]

7840 hs is a integrated gpu compared to a actual gpu

[sly halo]

is the rx7600s close?

[gilded sparrow]

slighlty worse

[sly halo]

yeah my bad im dumb it was the fucking cpu

[inland cove]

ah good reminder. im fairly sure my bios is older than the 5700x3d. ill do that in in the next day or so then. I assume the 5700x3d wouldnt work without updating it then?

id still think @sly halo the one i sent u would be ur best choice

[sly halo]

okay tell me this is a rx7600s better than a 4050

[inland cove]

ill do that now. thank you!

[sly halo]

Yeah its amazing thats my first choice for now

[somber void]

Welcome back

[gilded sparrow]

yes

[tidal geyser]

it REALLY REALLY matters up to how much power it uses

[sly halo]

thank u so much

[ocean axle]

for desktop, consult the graph above
for laptop, you need to look at reviews of the specific model because they play games with it and its impossible to tell performance from the model alone
i wish i was joking, but it sucks

[sly halo]

its a laptop

[tidal geyser]

yeah i know that is why i said it?

[random peak]

yo guys I wanted to get an oled monitor but cant really decide which to get, any recommendations? my top 2 choices rn are the AOC agon pro ultrawide oled with 170hz but 34 inch and the strix XG27AQDMG kinda want the extra lenght as its nice for editing but i will also record on the same monitor so will I have to crop the footage recorded on the ultrawide? my desk aint that big either so ye tough choice would love to hear some opinions

[grizzled frost]

which is exactly why it varies so much even with the exact same model gpu

[tidal geyser]

on desktop the difference is next to nothing on laptop where the power use already needs to be low it REALLY matters

[sly halo]

That's extremely hard for a consumer though unless you try out or ask someone who has you won't really know?

[spark sentinel]

but keep the laptop charger plugged in for best performance and battery life

[grizzled frost]

yep

[tidal geyser]

google

[ocean axle]

thats the point (from the mfgs)

they aren't trying to make it easy

one laptop can have a "4080" (not actually a 4080, because laptop), and another a "4070" (again not actually a 4070, because laptop), but the "4070" perform better because its allowed to draw twice the power the "4080" is
if that sounds like bullshit, thats because it is, but its also just how it is

[inland cove]

my internet is really acting up. im 99% sure but just to check i dont need an internet connection while updating the bios right? thats just if i update through wifi?

[ocean axle]

unfortuantely, with laptops, you must look at reviews of the specific laptop, and go from there

not just one with identical specs, that specific laptop

[tidal geyser]

usb stick

[sly halo]

Is the power drawn consistent with the laptop model/brands?

[lyric elbow]

helldivers 2. high cpu usage and low gpu usage. all setting max out on ultra 3440x1440p with dlss off. is this bottleneck? 5700x + 4070ti 32gb ram

[tidal geyser]

bios goes then update

[ocean axle]

model maybe but potentially no, brand very no

[tidal geyser]

nope

[inland cove]

yeah thought id be fine. just wanted to check.

[random peak]

can some1 answer dawg😐

[sly halo]

Like will a TUF more likely than not deviate close to the performance of the GPU it has? sorry for framing the question wrong but ykwim

[tidal geyser]

do asus make TUF laptops?

[ocean axle]

"TUF" is just a product line

it could be anything

[sly halo]

Yeah I meant is the power drawn consistent with the product lines?

[tidal geyser]

o yeah they do

[tidal geyser]

no

[ocean axle]

you could get a gimped GPU in one, and one let run in another

[sly halo]

Oh

Thats fucked up alright

[tidal geyser]

ngl for how much i hate nvidia i would go amd cpu and nvidia gpu

[sly halo]

They have like 7 models with similiar specs in the same product line

[tidal geyser]

will you be using it for longer times without being able to charge it

[ocean axle]

all depends on the specific model and specs (GU605CR-XS97)

[sly halo]

No

[tidal geyser]

get a desktop pc

[sly halo]

Damn

[sly halo]

Cant, im moving for uni

[ocean axle]

any GU605CR-XS97 will perform like any other GU605CR-XS97, but you cant use specs to compare them to anything else

[tidal geyser]

could remote into the pc from a shitty laptop

[sly halo]

Right makes sense but for example if its another model but with a slightly different GPU for example a 4060 compared to a 4050 the difference can be night and day even though its the same product line?

[ocean axle]

the GU605CR-XS97 and the GU605CR-G16.U95070TI both have a 5070ti, will the perform the same? maybe not.
the GU605CX-XS98 has a 5090, will it perform better? probably a bit, but also probably not by as much as you may thinl because its power limited being in the same chassis

[tidal geyser]

O DEAR LORD i just checked a TUF laptop in Norway for the low low price of 800$ you get 8GB of ram ( IN 2025 LIKE WTF) a zen 3 cpu that is eh kinda fair and then a god dam rtx 2050

[ocean axle]

can be, yes, the 4060 might perform a lot better, or it might perform worse, depends on what two you are looking at

[tidal geyser]

you also have cooling and power delivery stuff to think about

[ocean axle]

"being in the same chassis"

[sly halo]

So what should be my source of information and the decisive factor if I'm buying online?

[tidal geyser]

google

[random peak]

guys I BEG YOU PLEASE ANSWER

you are an evil man sim

[tidal geyser]

look for pics of the inside of the laptop, look at reviews

[sly halo]

Specific model info?

[ocean axle]

find reviews you can compare for those exact laptops, and see how the perform

[sly halo]

Fuck this is hard

[tidal geyser]

put in the specific model

[tidal geyser]

yup

[ocean axle]

and thats intentional..........

[tidal geyser]

my main rec tends to be any lenovo LOQ laptop

[sly halo]

Okay tell me this is it true in most cases a 7600s will perform better than a ps5 graphics wise

[tidal geyser]

everything on a amd one is just great

[tidal geyser]

cant really compare a console and laptop

[random peak]

JUST ANSWER ME MAN

[ocean axle]

PC vs console gets into a big bag of maybe, its complicated

[sly halo]

Because my options are are a ps5 and a gaming laptop

[random peak]

@tidal geyser WHY

[tidal geyser]

i am a computer man

i just cant do a console

[ocean axle]

as much as id prefer to point you at a PC, to equate a PS5, a laptop will be much much more expensive

[tidal geyser]

tbf he does need a tv and such too

[plain cypress]

Do you have any other computer

[ocean axle]

even a desktop, espically if you consider a used PS5, is hard to have it match

[sly halo]

Yes

[sly halo]

A macbook air

[plain cypress]

The assumption is most people already have a tv

[ocean axle]

im assuming thats already owned

[tidal geyser]

yup

[plain cypress]

Does PS5 play the games you want

[tidal geyser]

he did say before he needed a tv too

[ocean axle]

or will be purchased regardless

[sly halo]

Yes rdr, spiderman, detroit become human, gta

[ocean axle]

if you want to play GTA6, get a PS5

[plain cypress]

PS5 is probably fine then

[sly halo]

with the ps5 im worried about the price of the games mostly, on laptop it mostly will be free

[ocean axle]

free?

[tidal geyser]

YARRRRR

[plush wren]

[sly halo]

my friends have most the games on steam

[tidal geyser]

or just epic games

[random peak]

sim i beg of you

[ocean axle]

if you are considering a PS5, is a desktop for gaming an option?

[random peak]

grrr

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-huh-huh-cat-gif-4427829456107798028

[sly halo]

Nah I can't be bothered to build and maintain a pc during and before uni

[plush wren]

what does bro mean maintain

[sly halo]

clean and shit idk ive used a pc

[ocean axle]

sometimes its not, but laptops are so dumb and expensive, that its usually cheaper to get a full desktop setup and a laptop for not-gaming than it is to get a gaming laptop

[tidal geyser]

people who complain about game prices did not care to do this, i have been hella lazy i would imagine this could have been well over 500 if i gave a shit

[plush wren]

people who complain about game prices are STUPID

[solid crown]

I dont think ive ever cleaned or maintained my pc

[ocean axle]

you know any compter needs to be cleaned, right?
laptop or PS5 too

[plush wren]

i clean my pc if im feeling like it

[unborn tree]

Is it possible to find a laptop that will have like 6 - 10 hours of battery life for programming, browsing and working? or like really good battery life that can render things alright.

[plush wren]

macbook idk about rendering

[solid crown]

idk I have an air purifier and my pc barely has any dust

[ocean axle]

and given you already have a macbook air, if that does all your laptop things good enough, then you dont even need one of those

[sly halo]

true but is a radeon 7600s or 4060 laptop on average better in performance, if it is then i might as well get it right since i got a $1000 and i wont buy a tv for it

[tidal geyser]

its funny i kinda make the money i use to eat and have a roof by cleaning computers but my pc is just uhm not too clean

[upper abyss]

im hungy but idk what to get

[sly halo]

Thats true

[plush wren]

Bro gets paid to clean pcs

[tidal geyser]

i really need to get one

[plush wren]

how much are they

[tidal geyser]

eh more like i pay to clean computers well then sell to then get more money

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/povjisoo-gif-87348781533848892

[solid crown]

if you have animals its probably not very helpful with pc dust though

[ocean axle]

i dont know the answer to that

[tidal geyser]

i cant

[sly halo]

Fair enough

[plush wren]

Bro wants a laptop

[ocean axle]

i bury my head when it comes to laptop performance, and also what consoles compare to for perf too

i run top end desktops, and cheap ass laptops

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/me-when-my-friend-birb-gif-25289708

[sly halo]

Yeah thats the confusing part for me

[tidal geyser]

i have a laptop with a desktop socket

[ocean axle]

my main two desktops have GPUs that (each) cost me about double my laptop, i very much do what i recommended here myself

[tidal geyser]

look at what i have #tech-chat-1 message

[ocean axle]

yea, thats not bad

[tidal geyser]

i have replaced the cpu tho from 3950x to 3600

[ocean axle]

my laptop has a Snapdragon CPU in it

[tidal geyser]

sold the 3950x for 270$

and the laptop itself was 420

[plush wren]

ARM !!!

[ocean axle]

one of the Plus ones too, its really not that fast

[plush wren]

what gpu u have rogue

[tidal geyser]

snapdragon

[plush wren]

on your main pc

[ocean axle]

assming you mean my desktops, one has a 7900XTX the other a 9070XT

the laptop was $500

[ocean axle]

yes the 9070XT was expensive, i got it on launch day at microcenter

[tidal geyser]

that was when it was possible to get the 600$ ones

[ocean axle]

yea, this one was $790+tax

[tidal geyser]

O DEAR LORD

[sly halo]

I cant be fucking bothered i wanna get a ps5 although spider man is full price on ps store 😭

[ocean axle]

PowerColor Red Devil

[plush wren]

there arent jailbroken ps5s? or whatever ik there was something like that for ps4

[ocean axle]

they aren't cheaper still, so, meh

[inland cove]

@tidal geyser bios updated now. need to reapply undervolt though. easy peasy.

[sly halo]

I played spiderman on ps4 today and it was so fucking good cant even imagine ps5 or pc

The swinging was so fun

[plush wren]

same

[ocean axle]

also, 7800x3d/32GB and 9950x3d/64GB respectively

[plush wren]

oh not today

[brave brook]

the cheapest three in my country including 23% VAT

[ocean axle]

yea, that seems about right

[brave brook]

sorry that was for @ocean axle

[tidal geyser]

i just got 96GB of ram

[ocean axle]

lemme see if my microcenter has anything

[tidal geyser]

do not even use more then 32GB

[ocean axle]

u just haven't upgraded since 48GB sticks were available, and i dont really want to run quad DIMM again

[brave brook]

774 euros with 23% VAT is $733 US price without sales tax

[ocean axle]

my server has 512GB

both of them do, actually

[tidal geyser]

no no i got it a lets say ok deal on em

[brave brook]

my three servers have 128, 128 and 128GB 😛

[tidal geyser]

100$ for 2x48 6400MT sticks

[tidal geyser]

mine now only has 64GB 😦

[ocean axle]

cheapest here is now $800

[sly halo]

yall got servers and shit what do yall do

[plain cypress]

Piracy

[ocean axle]

i make games

[tidal geyser]

no never

not like i am watching pirated content right now

[sly halo]

i only do that with movies

[tidal geyser]

same

[ocean axle]

or do you mean what do you do with the servers?

[sly halo]

yea

[ocean axle]

ahh, ^

[tidal geyser]

xd

[sly halo]

i mean mac can pirate movies just fine

[tidal geyser]

i do need to replace the cooler for my cpu tho, maybe add another fan while i am at it

[sly halo]

its the other software

[tidal geyser]

way easier to do it on a server

[distant frigate]

Awesome

[sly halo]

I just use transmission

[tidal geyser]

slap on the arr stack and its easier then streaming services

[ocean axle]

yea, but its easier to have my server auto-download them, then i just stream it from there with jellyfin

[brave brook]

we have disposable income

[ocean axle]

and i can access my jellyfin anywhere, https://fiel.logix.dev

[tidal geyser]

i just use tailscale

[sly halo]

this how i feel rn

but i do also use my server to record videos too

[ocean axle]

that works, but i also have a handful of other things setup

[sly halo]

How does pirating using servers work im curious now

Do yall not just add the magnet link to the client

[tidal geyser]

also a small small issue i have, there is no way (other then VPS but i did this not to have to pay for shit so that is a no) for me to port forward

[ocean axle]

to avoid getting too close to rule 6, this will stay generic

[fresh escarp]

my windows 11 is being a weird mf, system has it's lags or well freezes ( including mouse ), but everything seems stable around those points it happens

[sly halo]

fair

Yeah so if i get the ps5 its roughly the same price as the laptop with the games i want, only thing to compare is performance now

Added everything up

[tidal geyser]

i also have home assitant on ma server

and immich

and urbackup

and ofc main thing is storage

[sly halo]

Red ps5 or laptop call it yall

[ocean axle]

if you wanted to automatically download and seed rocky isos, you can find their RSS feed (https://wiki.rockylinux.org/rocky/rss/), and i personally use transmission (https://transmissionbt.com/) and transmission-rss (https://github.com/nning/transmission-rss) to automatically add them to my server

i then have special python scripts to start only the ones i actually want (ie: only the 64bit x86 ones), as well as sort them into folders so i can find ubuntu desktop when i want that and rocky server when i want that

[nocturne mango]

considering going with AMD for my next build due to the longevity and inclination towards gaming use cases; whats a good model that'll last me for a decent 5-6 years with relatively okay performance near the end?

[tidal geyser]

9950X3D

[nocturne mango]

❤️

[tidal geyser]

ngl just get a r5 7600 or high end r7 9800X3D

[nocturne mango]

anything under $600 CAD? looking to keep my budget below $2500 after tax and tariff and I want to go big with my GPU.

not sure how much price will run up with other parts lol

[ocean axle]

unrelated to the above, i have a jellyfin server that points at my music library that is fully legally acquired (thats not a joke, i did actually pay for it all), and theres nothing really special about the setup there, just have it refresh on an interval for when files get added

[nocturne mango]

oh the 9800X3D seems like a good price

thank you!! ❤️

[tidal geyser]

radarr and sonarr and the other music thingy are fully able to run without any downloading

i would say made for it but ehhhh

[ocean axle]

right, so, i dont want two streaming servers

[tidal geyser]

main thing is piracy but the point of it is just sorting

[nocturne mango]

this is a stupid question; im assuming higher RPM fans cool your CPU better at the expense of noise level?

[tidal geyser]

just get a phantom spirit 120 se and use the stock thermal paste and fans

[nocturne mango]

👍

[tidal geyser]

all it does is import movies and shows and music and name them the right thing and place them in the right places

that is all it does that is the point of it

[sly halo]

how do yall type so fast and formally its crazy to me

[tidal geyser]

i use both hands

[sly halo]

i got 75wpm last i checked

[ocean axle]

i dont actually type that fast

[sly halo]

all 10 fingers?

[tidal geyser]

i got no clue what i have

yea

[ocean axle]

i top out at 60WPM, and on this keyboard afaik im closer to 40WPM

[sly halo]

i use my indexes

[tidal geyser]

i think the main thing i do is just know what to say

and ofc i am now able to write so fast due to being here for ages

[empty quartz]

Legally i cannot share that information

[ocean axle]

being here for ages
ive been on this server longer than you've been on discord

[tidal geyser]

you have been here almost since the server started

[ocean axle]

"almost"

[tidal geyser]

but now look at how much shit i have said vs you on here

[tidal geyser]

you did not start the server

soo its true

[ocean axle]

i joined the first night it was open to floatplane

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[thorn cove]

Are there any issues with using the same product key that came with my prebuilt? I had this ibuypower prebuilt for a while and Im gonna upgrade soon but dont wanna pay 100$ for windows

[ocean axle]

transferring the license should be possible

[tidal geyser]

i am 90% sure it would be using a OEM key

[plain cypress]

It's what most people here do with home servers

[ocean axle]

i do some other things with mine too

[plain cypress]

Okay not piracy
It's mostly media servers

But we all know where most of that media come from

[tidal geyser]

xd

[thorn cove]

what is an OEM key?

[tidal geyser]

you cant transfer it

[ocean axle]

mine also runs my CI, and bitwarden, and a few other things, but its largely a media server

[ocean axle]

it usually works anyway

[tidal geyser]

anyways windows is freeee

[thorn cove]

ah that should be good then, Ill probably just use it without a key if it does not work

[tidal geyser]

i now just today after like half a year made by qbit vpn itself as before that i just VPNed the WHOLE DAM server

[ocean axle]

my transmission server runs through a VPN

[tidal geyser]

with the container

[ocean axle]

its a VM

and its only that VM that i do that too

well, and my IOT network, but details

[nocturne mango]

trying to pick out a gpu for my build. is the arc a770 chipset relatively strong or equivalent to modern nvidia, geforce and radeon chipsets? is it capable of raytracing?

[ocean axle]

dont buy an alchemist card

[tidal geyser]

a770 chipset??

[ocean axle]

Arc A770

[tidal geyser]

just get a b580

[tidal geyser]

wow now that is bad

[nocturne mango]

😭 heard loud and clear

[nocturne mango]

i see.

so i should be largely looking at modern RTX chipsets

[tidal geyser]

amd

nvidia prices tend to be horrible

[ocean axle]

but also dont buy an A series (Alchemist) card regardless

if you are going to buy intel, grab a Battlemage (B series) card

[nocturne mango]

i remember hearing something about these being pretty trashy

[ocean axle]

ie: B580

[tidal geyser]

also wait a few moments and get a 9060 xt

[balmy tapir]

you should look at all of them, but get whatever fits your budget the best

[nocturne mango]

could care less about the brand honestly; i just want whats gonna work best for me in the long run.

[ocean axle]

they had/have some driver and performance issues

[nocturne mango]

is this supposed to be a strong choice? im trying to keep my GPU under $700-800 but im also not doing the build until closer to the end of the year.

[balmy tapir]

Alchemist was pretty decent, but battmage is alot more refined

[ocean axle]

intel has put a lot of work into them, they have gotten better, but id still not recommend an A series card

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT plan the build now

[plain cypress]

I haven't had arc driver issues since 2023

[balmy tapir]

you cant really plan a build 6 months out currently

[nocturne mango]

alrighty then

[ocean axle]

and as much better as Battlemage is, Celestial should be pretty damn good

[plain cypress]

My last full year of a750 was pretty smooth and b580 has been great

They could be higher performance overall but I can't really complain at the price point

[ocean axle]

i have

[tidal geyser]

a newer version of a product line being better, no never

[nocturne mango]

is 2500 CAD (or 1800 USD) a strong budget for a higher end gaming build?

[ocean axle]

we betting on how much of a bomb it is, or?

[plain cypress]

There was a brief moment that browser hardware acceleration was broken and the new Intel graphics software sucks

I should say I haven't had gaming driver problems

[tidal geyser]

its A tier

[gilded sparrow]

tf is this

[balmy tapir]

I would just save as much money as you can currently and then build when you want to. and yes $2500 cad will get you a good pc

[ocean axle]

its a very nondescript box

[tidal geyser]

i think it was vetroo v5 or some shit but yes its A tier

[plain cypress]

My only issues with games is that some games think arc is the same as old Intel iGPUs

[tidal geyser]

noh, tis good

[tidal geyser]

psu jump starter

[ocean axle]

yea, im just saying i cant identify it, hence placing bets

[gilded sparrow]

a tuer very high quality

[gilded sparrow]

huh

[balmy tapir]

every gpu has had driver issues for one person at one time or another lol

[tidal geyser]

put it on the 24 pin of the psu and it starts

[nocturne mango]

great; my current PC is a 6 year old prebuilt with a few "newer" parts that i installed myself but im discovering that its aging quite rapidly now; im a student working part time so im trying to set a saving goal now as to still be able to put a generous portion of money towards other more important things

[swift moss]

Ok np

[plain cypress]

It's useful for test bench purposes

[gilded sparrow]

um the v5 is a air cooler

[tidal geyser]

[ocean axle]

i used it on linux, i would have issues where my displays would just lock up, and maybe the whole system

[tidal geyser]

meant g

[gilded sparrow]

no its just called the vetroo850w

[plain cypress]

Oh yeah I don't have time for Linux anymore so just win 11

[ocean axle]

my 9070XT hasn't had those issues, so, meh

[tidal geyser]

you cant read

[ocean axle]

i never use them very long on windows

and interestingly, both my A770 and B580 have similar issues on linux

and its basically just this one persistent issue

[balmy tapir]

i love my 5600xt with linux

[gilded sparrow]

UR right im dyslexic

[balmy tapir]

i used to have daily issues on windows and now im just chilling

[tidal geyser]

me too

[ocean axle]

i have two machines, one runs linux, one runs windows

make a guess which one i game on

well, two main machines, the others aren't relevant here though

[balmy tapir]

windows for work, linux for games?!

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-chicago-dance-crash-hip-hop-dance-david-ingram-gif-14021047

[ocean axle]

well, my work machine, and the one i use to remote into my work machine, do both run windows

but thats a 3rd/4th machine

[balmy tapir]

lol

[inner veldt]

Why am i getting below than average, is that normal?

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[ocean axle]

for it to be average, about half perform worse,

you are pretty close to average though, its fine

[vital gyro]

Some people use multi-GPU and overlocking to boost their score on 3D Mark

[ripe spire]

ur 5080 doesnt have enough alcohol flowing through it

[inner veldt]

I guess everyone pushing oc while doing test

[sick reef]

ah yes the thermaltake toughpower 1000w from 2008/2009

[inner veldt]

Mine is stock settings

[plush wren]

methanol

[ocean axle]

oh, yea, that too

[proper gull]

Mmm I love bombs

[plush wren]

WHAT?

[sick reef]

russian shop didn’t mention these protection, however the database was rare

[ocean axle]

even for stock, theres a range, and its always possible to get one on the lower half (in fact, theres about a 50% chance)

[sick reef]

now it’s 20$ used

[tidal geyser]

do not buy it

[proper gull]

That's an expensive bomb

[sick reef]

and already aged

[proper gull]

Put that $20 towards a ticket out of Russia

[sick reef]

i dont want a bomb on my main pc

Thermaltake toughpower w0155 (1000w) was a high end psu from 2009, now it’s aged already

you realize these used psus are bomb?

[sick reef]

what if i do buy it?

this thermaltake is already aged

[fresh escarp]
